For premiums of $* or more, the commission percentage is determined by OMFLIC on a case by case basis in its sole discretion. The following rules shall apply to the calculation of the premium for purposes of determining whether the commission percentage is to be reduced under the prior paragraph: (i) Premiums paid by the same policyowner shall be aggregated whether paid under one Contract or multiple contracts; (ii) If there are multiple policyowners for a single Contract, the premiums paid by such policyowners shall be allocated among the policyholders in equal amounts; (iii) Each time a policyowner makes a premium payment under an existing Contract other than the initial premium payment under such Contract, the Parties shall determine the commission percentage applicable to the aggregate premiums paid under the Contract in accordance with this Table III-1; provided, however, that if the aggregate premiums with respect to such Contract exceeds $* and as a result the commissions that have been paid by OMFLIC exceed the commission otherwise payable under this Table, OMFLIC shall recover such excess by offsetting it against any future commission payments under the Contract. CHARGEBACK: Any premiums received within * prior to a surrender shall be subject to chargeback. For purposes of this provision, LMG shall chargeback premiums by refunding to OMFLIC *% of the commission paid to LMG and retained by LMG for the issuance of such Contract. In addition, LMG shall refund to OMFLIC the portions of commissions distributed directly or indirectly to Wholesalers or Producers recovered under Section 3.8 of the Terms and Conditions. Such refunds will, at OMFLIC’s election, take the form of chargeback on any future commissions. |
