Insurance Guide | netwealth Superannuation Master Fund 3 Your insurance options Your insurance options Life insurance should form an integral part of any financial plan. By providing yourself with adequate protection, you can help minimise the financial strain on family members in the event that you die or become permanently or temporarily disabled. Purchasing life insurance through your superannuation account may be tax effective, with most premium payments (or a proportion of the premium depending on the type of TPD insurance policy) considered allowable deductions to the Fund. These deductions are then passed on to your account. You should seek further advice regarding the deductibility of your specific premiums. The ideal amount of life insurance cover can vary significantly from person to person. Such factors as age, living expenses and your family situation can determine the appropriate level of cover. In order to find the level of cover that is right for you, we recommend that you discuss your situation with your financial adviser. Insurance cover is available to all eligible members of the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund Personal Super and Employer Sponsored Super. Personal Super If you are a member of Personal Super you can apply for cover under two types of policies within the Fund, a LifeWRAP Individual Policy or Personal Insurance under the Group Policy. Employer Sponsored Super If you are a member of Employer Sponsored Super your employer may have entered into a group insurance plan arrangement for its employees. In this case you will automatically have insurance cover based on standard terms when you join the Fund, with no application or qualification process required (subject to eligibility criteria). Where you wish to increase the level of cover above the automatic acceptance level applicable to your Employer Group Plan you can apply for additional cover by applying for Personal Insurance under the Group Policy, or you can apply for separate cover under a LifeWRAP Individual Policy. If you are a member of Employer Sponsored Super and your employer has not entered into a group insurance plan arrangement you can apply for cover either under a LifeWRAP Individual Policy or under the Group Policy. Summary of insurance options LifeWRAP Individual Policy Personal Insurance under the Group Policy Policies available for: Insurance available for: • Death Only insurance; • Death Only insurance; • Death and Total & Permanent Disablement insurance; and/or • Death and Total & Permanent Disablement insurance; and/or • Income Protection insurance. • Income Protection insurance.

Both options provide flexibility in tailoring insurance to your needs however the various features of the policies and the premium rates differ. The LifeWRAP Individual Policy may give you greater choice. The Group Policy may have the advantage of less onerous acceptance requirements in certain circumstances. You should seek advice to determine which option is most appropriate for you. Insurance Guide | netwealth Superannuation Master Fund 4 LifeWRAP Individual Policy LifeWRAP Individual Policy LifeWRAP is an insurance offering that enables members to access individual Life insurance (including Death & Total and Permanent Disablement insurance) and Income Protection insurance through the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund. LifeWRAP Individual Policies are issued by the insurer and are subject to the terms and conditions of the LifeWRAP Individual Policies taken out by netwealth on behalf of each individual member with the insurer. Under a LifeWRAP Individual Policy netwealth purchases an individual policy on your behalf. Each policy is owned by netwealth as Trustee of the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund. In some cases you may be able to purchase optional benefits available from the insurer that are offered outside the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund under separate or linked policies issued in your name. These benefits will be owned by you directly rather than by netwealth on your behalf. The insurance products available under a LifeWRAP Individual Policy are listed on our website.

For example, under the terms of a life insurance policy, if you die or if you become totally or permanently disabled, netwealth will be paid a lump sum. Under the terms of an income protection policy, netwealth will be paid the income payments from the insurer. Provided you meet a condition of release these amounts can then be on-paid to you, otherwise they will be credited to your netwealth Superannuation Master Fund account. netwealth can only pay benefits, including any insurance proceeds, to you from the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund in accordance with the Fund’s Trust Deed, Superannuation Law and if a condition of release is met.

If you have been unemployed or on maternity or paternity leave for twelve months or more, cover ceases and you will need to reapply for cover if it is still required. * An important duty is defined as involving 20% or more of occupational tasks responsible for generating at least 20% or more of the insurer member's pre-disability income. Insurance Guide | netwealth Superannuation Master Fund 12 Types of insurance Partial disability Partial disability means immediately following a period of total disability for at least fourteen (14) consecutive days and solely because of the injury or sickness which directly caused the total disability, the insured member is: • able to perform one or more duties of his/her usual occupation but is unable to perform all of the duties of his/her usual occupation; and • remains under the regular care and attendance of, and is following the advice of a registered Medical Practitioner in relation to that injury or sickness; and • solely due to that injury or sickness is earning an income at a monthly rate of less than his/her pre-disability income. Definition of income Depending on whether or not you are self-employed, ‘income’ is defined as follows for the purposes of Income Protection insurance cover: Self-employed If you are self-employed, a working director or a partner in a partnership, your income will be considered to be the income generated by the business or practice due to your share of personal exertion or activity, less your share of the necessarily incurred business expenses and investment income. Non self-employed If you are not self-employed, the total value of remuneration paid to you by your employer will be considered as your income. The income includes salary, fees, regular commission, regular bonuses, regular overtime, fringe benefits and salary sacrifice superannuation contributions but excluding mandated superannuation contributions (that is superannuation guarantee contributions). For the purposes of defining your income where a claim is being assessed, ‘pre-disability income’ is the average gross monthly income earned by you over the 12 months immediately before becoming disabled. Where you have been employed for less than 12 months, this income is averaged over the period of employment. Level of cover The maximum level of monthly income you can receive in the event of claim is, the least of: • 75% of your income (plus an additional 10% to be paid directly to your superannuation account as contributions); or • $30,000 per month; or • the amount insured. The insurer reserves the right to limit increases in the amount insured per insured member to 30% in any 12 month period. Agreed value If you are a member of Personal Super, you can apply for an Agreed value benefit provided you are not in a heavy manual occupation. Agreed value cover is subject to a 20% premium loading and financial underwriting. In the event of an approved claim being paid, if the agreed amount is greater than 75% of your income at the time of claim (or greater than 85% if you are also insured for the superannuation benefit), the higher Agreed value will be paid. The monthly benefit in the event of claim is the lesser of: • the Agreed value amount insured; or • $30,000 per month. Details of the financial underwriting requirements can be found on page 24. Important note: If the Agreed value is greater than your pre-disability income, the excess will be retained in the Fund until you meet another Condition of Release. Increases in cover The insurer reserves the right to limit increases to your amount insured to 30% of the current amount insured in any 12-month period. The amount of information required by the insurer during the underwriting process will depend on the level of cover you apply for. Please refer to the section under the heading ‘Underwriting requirements’ on page 24 of this Insurance Guide to see what additional medical information may be required to process your application. Waiting period Indemnity value Your monthly Income Protection insurance benefit will commence after a waiting period. You can choose to have a waiting period of 30, 60 or 90 days. The longer the waiting period you choose, the lower your premium payments will be. You can apply to receive an indemnity value benefit of up to 75% of your annual income (plus an additional 10% to be paid directly to your superannuation account as contributions). The waiting period commences from the date that you are first examined and certified by a medical practitioner as totally disabled in relation to a condition that gave rise to a claim and you ceased work, due to that condition. You can apply for Income Protection insurance cover up until your 65th birthday.

Example of how to calculate your annual Income Protection insurance cover premium Other considerations Superannuation Contributions In addition to the maximum insured amount of 75% of your income, you can elect to have an additional amount of up to 10% paid to your superannuation account as contributions. Benefit escalation Where you select Income Protection insurance benefits payable up to age 65, you can choose to have these benefits indexed as follows: • your Income Protection insurance benefit payment is indexed at a rate of the lower of CPI and 5% per annum which is applied to the monthly benefit after you have continued to receive Income Protection insurance benefits for twelve consecutive months and every twelve months thereafter; or • no indexation applied to your Income Protection insurance benefit payment. Selecting benefit escalation will increase your premium. Premiums Personal Insurance premium rate tables can be found on our website at www.netwealth.com.au, along with an annual premium quote calculator. The occupational loading factors that may be applied to Income Protection insurance premium rates are as follows: Occupation Type SA Loading Factor Professional 0.90 White Collar 1.00 Light Blue Collar 1.75 Heavier Blue Collar 3.50 Premium rates shown for Income Protection insurance cover do not include stamp duty. The level of stamp duty imposed varies between State and Territories. The rate of stamp duty that you are charged will depend on the State or Territory location of your residential address. The stamp duty rates (current at the date of this Insurance Guide) are set out below: NSW 5% TAS 8% VIC 10% QLD 7.5% 1. Example: 34-year-old female clerical worker residing in NSW who is a non-smoker. She earns $5,000 per month and would like to receive 75% of this amount after a 30-day waiting period for a two year benefit period with no indexation of a benefit in payment. She has elected the Flat fee* option. Her annual premium is calculated as follows: Premium factor × 0.75 × (monthly income ÷ 100) × occupational loading × state stamp duty factor = 8.30 × 0.75 × (5000 ÷ 100) × 1.00 × 1.05 = $326.81 annual premium * The Flat Fee option is described below in the ‘Premiums and fees’ section on page 19. 2. Example: 41-year-old male professional worker residing in Victoria who is a smoker. He earns $10,000 per month and would like to receive 75% of this amount with benefit escalation after a 90-day waiting period until he reaches age 65. He has agreed on the Upfront fee option with his adviser. His annual premium is calculated as follows: Premium factor × 0.75 × (monthly income ÷ 100) × occupational loading × state stamp duty factor = 12.60 × 0.75 × (10000 ÷ 100) × 0.90 × 1.10 = $935.55 annual premium Tax If you receive an income stream under Income Protection insurance cover, that income stream will be taxed in the same way as your salary or wages, as the income is intended to be direct compensation for salary and wages during the period that you are considered temporarily disabled. Any amounts paid into your superannuation account will be treated as concessional contributions. Please refer to Information Guide 10: Tax and Social Security for further information about tax on contributions.

Where a benefit payment is commencing it will be paid monthly in arrears, provided you have been totally disabled for a period of at least 14 consecutive days during the waiting period. This means that you will receive your first payment one month after the end of the waiting period.

A further waiting period will not apply in this case, but the maximum benefit period (for a two-year benefit period) will be adjusted to take into account prior claim payments. Rehabilitation expenses Rehabilitation expenses approved by the insurer will be reimbursed up to an amount equivalent to 6 monthly Income Protection insurance benefit payments, provided the expenses relate to rehabilitation programs designed to rehabilitate the disability of the member or to return the member to work. Offsets Any Income Protection insurance benefits which are payable will be reduced by the following other benefits you may be receiving, where the total amount you are receiving exceeds 75% of your pre-disability income (or where cover has been provided under Agreed value where the total amount you are receiving exceeds the higher of 75% of your predisability income or the amount insured).

Fees and Adviser Remuneration Your financial adviser will normally be paid ongoing remuneration in relation to insurance. Where you have Personal Insurance, you may also agree with your adviser to pay adviser remuneration on commencement of your cover (Year 1 remuneration). The amounts of Year 1 and ongoing remuneration are negotiable with your financial adviser. The level of remuneration that you negotiate for Year 1 will also determine the level of ongoing remuneration that your adviser receives after the first year. If you do not have an adviser you will not be charged any fees relating to adviser remuneration. You may terminate the appointment of your financial adviser at any time by written notice to netwealth. The premium rates include the effect of GST. The netwealth Superannuation Master Fund is entitled to receive a reduced input tax credit (RITC) on the goods and services tax (GST) payable on fees and on remuneration paid to advisers in relation to your insurance cover.

Important note: Where you are an Employer Sponsored Super member and your employer does not have an Employer Group Plan and you wish to purchase insurance cover, you will be insured under Personal Insurance. The Personal Insurance fees and adviser remuneration will apply. You can therefore negotiate with your financial adviser which fee option will apply to your cover from the upfront, hybrid or flat fee options as previously described. Premium payment The monthly premium payments for your Death, Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) and/or Income Protection insurance cover will be deducted in arrears from your cash account. For the first month you are covered, your premium will be charged pro-rata from the day the cover commenced until the end of that month, and will be added to the next advance monthly premium charge. If you are a new member, your cover will be terminated 120 days after you became a member of the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund if your premiums have not been paid during that time. Your premium payments will continue to be deducted until you provide us with written notification that cover is no longer required. If there are insufficient funds in your account to pay premiums, your cover will be terminated 60 days after the day on which your premium was last due. It is therefore important that you ensure you have sufficient funds in your account to provide for your premium payments as they fall due. As premiums are deducted from your cash account, you should ensure that there is sufficient available cash to cover these premiums as they fall due. Please refer to Information Guide 2: Operating your account for further information about your cash account. A word of warning As with any insurance policy, continuing cover is dependent on premiums being paid and up to date. It is important to note that the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund insurance cover only applies if you have a sufficient balance in your account to cover the cost of your premiums – see ‘Premiums and fees’ on pages 18 to 20. If you do not have a sufficient account balance to cover your premiums, you will not have the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund Insurance. As detailed above, your insurance cover will lapse 60 days after the day on which your last premium was due. If required, you can make extra contributions directly (or via your employer) to your account to maintain a sufficient account balance to pay your premiums. Please refer to Information Guide 5: Contributions to Superannuation or contact netwealth to find out how to make additional contributions. If your insurance cover lapses, a Personal Statement and possibly medical evidence will be required to reinstate any cover. Applying for cover If you are: • a Personal Super member; • an Employer Sponsored Super member and your employer does not have an Employer Group Plan (or the type of insurance cover you want); or • an Employer Sponsored Super member and you want to apply for more cover than available under the automatic acceptance limit applicable to your Employer Group Plan; you can apply for cover or additional cover by completing an Application Form and Personal Statement at the back of this Insurance Guide. Depending on the type and level of cover you apply for, you may be required to complete further documentation and/or undergo medical examinations. Please refer to the section headed ‘Underwriting requirements’ on page 24, which details the level of medical and/or financial information we will require when processing your application. The insurance quote available at www.netwealth.com.au will also indicate any additional underwriting requirements that may be necessary when applying for cover in the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund. Interim cover – Death Only insurance or TPD insurance While your application for Death Only insurance or TPD insurance is being assessed, you will be provided with interim Accidental Injury cover. The interim cover will apply until the earliest of: • 90 days after the insurer receives the fully completed Application Form and Personal Statement; • the application is either accepted or declined by the insurer; • you cancelling or withdrawing the application; and • the date the cover would have otherwise ceased under the policy. Insurance Guide | netwealth Superannuation Master Fund 21 Premiums and fees ‘Accidental Injury’ means a physical injury that is caused solely and directly by violent, visible, external and unexpected means that is not traceable, even indirectly to any pre-existing mental or physical condition. The maximum benefit payable by the insurer under interim cover will be the lesser of: • the total amount of insurance applied for; and • $2,000,000. No benefit will be payable if death occurs or disability arises during the interim accidental cover period, directly or indirectly as a result of any event or activity for which the insurer would not normally provide cover at standard rates and terms. Interim cover – Income Protection insurance While your application for Income Protection insurance is being assessed, you will be provided with interim Accidental Injury cover. The interim cover will apply until the earliest of: • 90 days after the insurer receives the fully completed Application Form and Personal Statement; • the application is either accepted or declined by the insurer; • you cancelling or withdrawing the application; and • the date the cover would have otherwise ceased under the policy. The benefit will be paid in the event of you suffering an Accidental Injury which results in your disability (‘Accidental Injury’ has the same meaning as above). The maximum monthly benefit payable by the insurer under interim cover will be the least of: • the total amount of insurance applied for; • the benefit that would normally be acceptable under the insurer’s underwriting rules; and • $15,000 per month. The benefit period will be the benefit period selected in your application or to age 65 if earlier. No benefit will be payable if death occurs or disability arises during the interim accidental cover period, directly or indirectly as a result of any event or activity for which the insurer would not normally provide cover at standard rates and terms. Cooling-off period for insurance Please note that the cooling-off period lasts for 14 days and starts from the day you receive a letter of acceptance of the insured amount, or the fifth business day after netwealth sends this letter of acceptance to you – whichever is the earlier. Within the cooling-off period you may cancel the insurance cover and receive a full refund of any premiums paid. To do this, please return the letter of acceptance to us, and request in writing for your cover to be cancelled. If you have exercised any right or power you hold under the terms of the policy during the cooling-off period, you immediately forfeit the right to cancel your policy. Changing your cover Once your application has been accepted, you can apply to have your level of cover varied. For an increase, complete the Application Form and Personal Statement at the back of this Insurance Guide and indicate that you wish to increase your cover. Other changes can also be made such as changing your occupation or smoking status, contact netwealth for the appropriate forms to do this. Before any requests can be approved, you may be required to provide us with further information. Where an increase to any type of insurance cover is affected it must be on the same fee option as the original cover. The original start date of the insurance cover determines the adviser remuneration and fees payable. If you wish to decrease your amount of cover, you must notify us in writing. Most members will have their level of cover increased by the CPI at the annual review date of 30 June each year. The increase of cover will be the lesser of CPI and 5% and you should be aware that your premium will change in line with the new amount of cover. This annual CPI increase of cover will apply for all members of the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund who have a nominated sum insured (Death Only, Death & TPD and/ or Income Protection Insurance). Please note that the CPI increases also apply to Employer Group Plan members, except for those Employer Group Plans which have their sum insured based on a fixed formula or fixed premium basis (refer to Employer Sponsored Group Insurance Options on pages 15 and 16). Members can notify us in writing if they wish to opt-out of the CPI arrangements. All notifications of an opt-out to the CPI arrangement will only come into effect on the next 30 June following receipt of your notification. Where a member has chosen to opt out of CPI increases they are no longer able to opt in to CPI increases at a later date. Insurance Guide | netwealth Superannuation Master Fund 22 Premiums and fees Occupational loadings The more risky your occupation is deemed to be, the higher your premium rates will be. Under the policy, the occupational classes are defined as follows: Professional worker – defined as: a) accountants, doctors, lawyers or other like professionals; and b) typically hold a tertiary qualification; and c) hold membership of a professional body or association; OR a) senior executives of companies with at least twenty (20) staff members; and b) have an annual salary in excess of $100,000; and c) satisfy the definition of a White collar worker. White collar worker – the duties of the member to be insured: a) are professional, managerial, administrative or similarly sedentary in nature; and b) do not involve any manual labour; and c) are undertaken entirely in an office or similar environment (excluding travel to and from the office or similar environment). Light blue collar: fully qualified trades people performing occupations involving light to medium manual work. Also includes office workers performing more than 10% of their duties outside the office. Heavier blue collar: includes both skilled and unskilled manual workers who are not exposed to unusual accident or health hazards, but perform heavier duties than typical light blue collar occupations. Continuation option If you leave the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund or rollover to an income stream within the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund and you had Death Cover, you will have a 60-day period of free Death Cover, provided you are under the age of 60 and left for reasons other than sickness or injury. Subject to the insurer’s approval, your cover will be effective from the day you leave the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund or rollover within the Fund. During this period you have the option to apply for an individual Death Only insurance policy offered by the insurer. The amount of cover you apply for must not exceed the sum of the insurance cover that you had upon leaving the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund or transferring to a netwealth Superannuation Master Fund income stream product. Eligibility to exercise the continuation option will be subject to: • satisfactory completion of the insurer’s Continuation Option Application Form; and • the availability of the most closely suited individual policy as offered by the insurer from time to time. If you wish to exercise a continuation option, you should contact AIA Australia (the insurer) directly on Freecall 1800 333 613. Leaving the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund If you close your account in the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund, by receiving a lump sum benefit payment or rolling over your funds to another superannuation entity, then you will not be entitled to any further benefits from the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund. This will include life insurance benefits, notwithstanding a continuation option being made available to you, as described above. Transferring from Employer Sponsored Super to Personal Super If you cease employment and are required to leave Employer Sponsored Super you may transfer your benefit to Personal Super. As explained in the PDS (in the section titled “The Superannuation Service” under the heading “Leaving current employment”), where your account balance is over $1,000 your benefit will be automatically transferred from Employer Sponsored Super to Personal Super. If your benefit is transferred and, at that time, you had insurance cover and your premiums were up to date, you will generally retain the same level of Death Only Cover or Death & TPD Cover that you had in Employer Sponsored Super without the need to provide a Personal Statement or medical evidence. Employer Group Plan insurance to Personal Insurance Where you were insured under an Employer Group Plan, your premiums will generally increase in Personal Super and will be based on the occupational rating that was applicable to your Employer Group Plan and on smoker rates. To find out the occupational rating and smoker status that applies to you and applicable premiums, please contact us. To advise us of your occupation or smoker status, please complete the ‘Insurance Occupation Questionnaire’ or the ‘Insurance Non Smoker Declaration’, as applicable. Both are available on the website, from your adviser or by calling us. Important note: If you had Income Protection insurance under an Employer Group Plan this cover does not automatically transfer from Employer Sponsored Super to Personal Super. Insurance Guide | netwealth Superannuation Master Fund 23 Further information Personal Insurance to Personal Insurance Consequences of non–disclosure If you had Personal Insurance in Employer Sponsored Super (that is, you made a personal application for insurance, completed a Personal Statement and/or were personally underwritten) you will retain the occupational rating and smoker status that you had in Employer Sponsored Super. If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure and the insurer would not have entered into the contract on any terms if the failure had not occurred, the insurer may avoid the contract within three years of entering into it. If your nondisclosure is fraudulent, the insurer may avoid the contract at any time. An insurer who is entitled to avoid a contract of insurance may, within three years of providing it, elect not to avoid but to reduce the sum that you have been insured for in accordance with a formula that takes into account the premium that would have been payable had all the relevant matters been disclosed. If your occupation has changed and you wish to advise us of your current occupation, please complete the ‘Insurance Occupation Questionnaire’, available on the website, from you adviser or directly from us. Making a claim If you need to make a claim, you should notify us in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after the insured event occurs. We will then provide you with the relevant claim forms. You may be required to provide medical and financial evidence to substantiate your claim, so that it may be properly assessed. You may also be required to attend medical examinations and complete authorities for the insurer to obtain additional information. Upon receipt of all the required claim forms and evidence, we will endeavour to have your claim assessed within approximately 12 business days. Further information Complaints netwealth has procedures in place to consider and deal with any complaints within 45 days. See the Complaints section in the PDS. Your duty of disclosure Before you enter into a contract with or become insured by the insurer you have a duty under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 to disclose to the insurer every matter that is known, or could reasonably expected to be known, that is relevant to their decision whether to accept the risk of insurance, and if so, on what terms. The same duty of disclosure to disclose these matters to the insurer applies before you renew, extend, vary or reinstate your life insurance contract. Your duty does not, however, require you to disclose a matter: • that diminishes the risk to be undertaken by the insurer; • that is common knowledge; • that the insurer knows, or in the ordinary course of business should know; or • if your duty to disclose is waived by the insurer. Privacy and your personal information The privacy of your personal information is important to netwealth. We will only collect personal information from you where it is necessary to: • properly assess your application for insurance; • administer and manage your policy; and • consider any claims you make. The insurer from time to time may also need to disclose your personal information to third parties such as re-insurers, medical practitioners, financial professionals and judicial or dispute resolutions bodies. We and the insurer will only disclose your personal information to third parties for the purpose for which it was collected. If you wish to access the personal information we have collected from you, please contact us in writing.

This Application form accompanies the Insurance Guide, referred to in the netwealth Super Wrap PDS (dated 11 October 2011) and the netwealth Super Accelerator PDS (dated 23 April 2012). The PDS contains important information regarding membership of the netwealth Superannuation Master Fund. You should read the PDS, the Insurance Guide and the Information Guides referred to in the PDS. Disclosure notice Your duty of disclosure – Before you enter into a contract with or become insured by the insurer you have a duty under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 to disclose to the insurer every matter that is known, or could reasonably expected to be known, that is relevant to their decision whether to accept the risk of insurance, and if so, on what terms. The same duty of disclosure to disclose these matters to the insurer applies before you renew, extend, vary or reinstate your life insurance contract. Your duty does not, however, require you to disclose a matter: • that diminishes the risk to be undertaken by the insurer; • that is common knowledge; • that the insurer knows, or in the ordinary course of business should know; or • if your duty to disclose is waived by the insurer. Non-disclosure – If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure and the insurer would not have entered into the contract on any terms if the failure had not occurred, the insurer may avoid the contract within three years of entering into it. If your nondisclosure is fraudulent, the insurer may avoid the contract at any time. An insurer who is entitled to avoid a contract of insurance may, within three years of providing it, elect not to avoid it but to reduce the sum that you have been insured for in accordance with a formula that takes into account the premium that would have been payable had all the relevant matters been disclosed.
