Provided further that such co-maker can only guarantee one borrower.

The gross amount of loan shall be equivalent to one month of basic monthly salary.

The benefit under the Loan Redemption Insurance (LRI) shall be the Theoretical Outstanding Balance of the Loan at the time of death of a member-borrower. Insurance coverage is automatically terminated upon expiration of the loan term, or upon renewal of the loan, or upon payment of the loan in full, whichever comes first. The formula for computing the redemption insurance premium shall be as follows:
