ARTICLE IV:  GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

4.1CONTRACT

The entire contract between New York Life and the Contractholder will consist of this contract including Participant Listing and Exhibits, if any, and the application of the Contractholder, a copy of which is attached hereto.  No agent or other person except an Executive Officer of New York Life has authority to make, endorse, or modify this contract on behalf of New York Life or to waive any of New York Life’s rights or requirements, and no modification of this contract will be valid unless evidenced by an amendment to the contract signed by the Contractholder and an Executive Officer of New York Life.  No such modification will require the consent of any Participant or other person or entity entitled to a benefit, provided that such modification does not affect the amount, or the terms and conditions of payment, of any annuity provided with respect to the Participant under this contract.

4.2CERTIFICATES

 

New York Life will issue to each Participant when his annuity benefit commences, an individual certificate setting forth the amount of such annuity benefit and the terms of its payment.

4.3MISSTATEMENTS AND REDETERMINATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS

If the age, sex or form of annuity payments with respect to any Participant is found to have been misstated, then, (unless an equitable adjustment satisfactory to New York Life and the Contractholder is made) the amount of annuity payable by New York Life will be as may be provided by the amount initially applied to the purchase of any annuity and determined as of the Effective Date of this contract based on the misstated information, but redetermined on the basis of the correct age, sex and form of annuity payments.  Any adjustment of terms or amounts of payments made in accordance with the preceding statement will be conclusive upon any Participant affected thereby.

Upon redetermination of annuity amounts in accordance with the preceding paragraph, any overpayments by New York Life due to any misstatement that gave reason to the redetermination will be deducted from amounts thereafter payable to the Participant, or  other person or entity entitled to a benefit and any underpayments will be paid in full with the next payment due the Participant or other person or entity entitled to a benefit.
