The figures in the above tables up to the end of the twentieth year include a surrender charge of not more than two and one-half per cent, of the amount of insurance. Should the amount of insurance be increased by dividend additions the reserve thereon shall be included with the net reserve on which the non-forfeiture values are based and the total surrender charge shall not be more than two and one-half per cent, of the total amount insured. At the end of twenty years no surrender charge is made.
In computing values from the foregoing tables, due allowance will be made for each completed quarter of a year's premiums paid over and above the full number of years there indicated.
This Policy contains the entire contract between the parties hereto.
