In considering persons for admission to membership, the Board and/or any such delegate shall ensure eligibility for membership as provided in these Rules but may otherwise admit persons to membership as seen fit on the basis of perceived member engagement principles and on a cohort by cohort basis that may depend upon product or policy type, those persons customer acquisition route, access to or availability of communication channels with such persons and/or any other criteria that may be considered appropriate. 1.2 Subject to approval being given in the manner described in Rule 1.1, membership of the Society is open to any individual regardless of age who holds one or more active products issued by the Society or by one of its subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt: (a) (b) a product that has been terminated or in respect of which the premiums have been forfeited is no longer active; and a product is only issued by the Society or one of its subsidiaries where the primary risk in respect of such product is borne or where the product is otherwise provided by the Society or such subsidiary as appropriate and products marketed and/or branded but not also issued by the Society or any such subsidiary will not give rise to eligibility to membership of the Society. 1.3 No person shall be allowed to continue as a member of the Society, nor shall their policies be allowed to remain in force; a) if, in respect of policies issued under tax-exempt life or endowment business, the aggregate of the gross sum or sums assured, or the aggregate of the annual amount or amounts payable by way of annuity under any policies effected by that person with the Society, or with other friendly societies, would as a consequence of the continuance of that policy or those policies exceed the limits from time to time prescribed by statute; or b) if, in respect of policies which are issued under life or endowment business which is not tax-exempt, the aggregate of the gross sum or sums assured, or the aggregate of the annual amounts payable by way of annuity under policies effected by that person with the Society, or with other friendly societies, would as a consequence of the continuance of that policy or those policies exceed the limits from time to time prescribed by statute; 4 of 41
5 provided that for the purpose of this Rule 1.3, any addition declared upon an assurance or a gross sum of annuity by way of bonus or unitlinking shall be disregarded. 1.4 Any person intending to become a member of the Society shall apply in such manner and with such documentation as the Board may, from time to time, require. If any false statement in the application or any material fact has not been disclosed, then membership and any product provided may, at the discretion of the Board, be rendered null and void and any monies which have been paid to the Society in respect of any product or otherwise may be forfeited to the Society. 1.5 In the case of an application for assurance on the life of a person whose circumstances, activities or whose state of health indicates an increased risk, the Society shall have the power to impose such restrictions as the Board or such officer, employee or agent of the Society from time to time appointed by the Board for the purpose, may consider adequate, or to reject the application without being under any obligation to give any reason for such action. It is incumbent upon any person admitted to membership of the Society to advise the Society of any change in his address, marital status or any other relevant facts which may from time to time occur and the Society shall not be held responsible for any consequences of any failure on the part of the member to advise such changes. 1.6 The Society shall be entitled to reject any application for assurance or accept the same upon such terms as the Society (or the person or persons for the time being appointed by the Board for the purpose) shall consider fit including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, such restrictions as to age, travel, occupation or participation in hazardous sports or pastimes as shall be considered necessary or desirable. 1.7 A member who is a minor (being under the age of 18) may, if he is over 16 years of age, by himself, or if he is under that age by his parent or guardian, execute all instruments and give all receipts necessary to be executed or given under these Rules but shall not vote or hold any office in the Society, and may not nominate or join in nominating a person for election as a member of the Board. 1.8 In addition to the circumstances described above, membership of the Society shall cease: (a) (b) upon the death of the member; or upon the termination of all products issued to the member by the Society or by one of its subsidiaries.

Rule 3 - Contributions and Benefits 3.1 Every member of the Society may pay contributions and receive benefits as provided in the relevant product terms (which may include standard benefit tables) and such contributions shall be dealt with in accordance with Rule The terms on which the Society provides benefits shall be determined by the Board with reference to the relevant product terms (which may include standard benefit tables). 3.3 The Society shall, in respect of the Society's product terms: a) ensure that a copy of them shall be maintained by the Society s Secretary and retained at every office of the Society; b) make copies of them available free of charge to members of the Society at every office of the Society; c) send, free of charge, copies of them to any member of the Society who demands them; and d) the Board will be responsible for preparing the Society's product terms and any changes to them shall be effective from the date of approval by the Board and shall not take effect retrospectively. 3.4 Notwithstanding the other provisions of these Rules and without prejudice to the terms of any policy or product held by any member, the Board may establish and operate, or may delegate to an appropriate sub-committee of the Board the establishment and operation of, member benefits programmes (to the advantage of members and/or persons associated with members) at its discretion but always within the purposes of the Society s benevolent activities as provided in the Memorandum, to be delivered directly by the Society or indirectly via the OneFamily Foundation (or any other OneFamily group company), in the form of grants, awards, subsidies and discounts and any such entitlements and any changes thereto may be communicated to members of the Society or those otherwise benefiting as the Board sees fit for the purposes of informing as to such member benefit programmes.
