EFFECT OF PREVIOUS CONVERSION If You converted any portion of Your Continuation Eligible Life Insurance to an individual policy, We will only pay the life insurance under this section if the individual policy is returned to Us.

If that certificate is not returned to Us, We will pay any insurance which applies under the other policy’s certificate. We will not pay insurance under both this Group Policy and the other policy.
