                   PURCHASING AND KEEPING THE POLICY IN FORCE


PREMIUM PAYMENTS


Your first premium is due on the Policy Date. After that, You may pay premiums
at any time while this policy is in force. The amount of Your premiums is
subject to the Premium Payment Limits provision. We will confirm Our receipt of
premiums paid.

We will allocate the initial Net Premiums on the later of the Policy Date or the
Effective Date. During the Examination  Period, We will allocate net premiums to
the Money  Market  Division  if state law  requires  Us to  refund  the  initial
premiums.  We will re-allocate initial net premiums to the requested Division(s)
at the end of the  Examination  Period.  If state law does not require refund of
premiums  paid,  the initial net  premiums can be  immediately  allocated to any
available Division as directed in the application, unless You direct otherwise.

If the  purchase of this policy  falls within the  definition  of a  replacement
under state law, We reserve the right to retain the initial Net  Premiums in the
Money  Market  Division  beyond  the  Examination  Period to  correspond  with a
particular state's replacement requirements.

Unless You change them, Your initial percentages apply to future allocations of
premiums. The sum of the percentages for all Divisions must equal 100%.


PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUMS

Preauthorized withdrawals may be set up on a monthly basis to allow Us to
automatically deduct premium payments from Your bank or other financial
institution account.


You may establish an annual, semiannual, or quarterly premium payment schedule.
We send You reminder notices of Your planned periodic premium, including the
amount and frequency of premium. These notices serve only as a reminder of Your
preference. You may change the amount and frequency of Your planned periodic
premiums by providing Notice to Us. Premiums are to be sent to the address We
provide in the reminder notices. You may also make unscheduled payments to Us at
Our Office.


PREMIUM PAYMENT LIMITS


You may make premium payments that are greater than the planned periodic
premium. However, We will refund any premiums that would disqualify this policy
as "Life Insurance" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, Section 7702, as
amended. Unless otherwise directed, We will refund any premiums that would make
this policy a Modified Endowment Contract as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code, Section 7702A, as amended.

If any premium payment increases the policy's death proceeds by more than it
increases the Policy Value, We reserve the right to refund all or part of the
premium payment. If all or part of the premium payment is not refunded, We may
require satisfactory evidence of insurability.


GRACE PERIOD


A 61 day grace period begins when We mail a notice of impending policy
termination to You. We mail this notice to You when the Net Policy Value is
insufficient to cover the Monthly Policy Charge. This notice will be sent to
Your last post office address known to Us.

If We have not received the full reinstatement payment set out in Our notice,
(calculated in accordance with number 6 of the Reinstatement provision below) by
the end of the grace period, Your policy terminates.


If the Insured dies during a grace period, We will pay the death proceeds to the
beneficiary(ies).

TERMINATION


All policy privileges and rights of the owner under this policy terminate:


1.       When You surrender Your policy;

2.       When the death proceeds are paid;

3.       When the maturity proceeds are paid; or


4.       When the grace period ends without Our receipt of the  reinstatement
         payment amount,  as described in the Grace Period provision.


REINSTATEMENT


If this policy terminates as described in the Grace Period provision and You
have not surrendered Your policy, You may reinstate it provided:


1.       Such reinstatement is prior to the Maturity Date;

2.       Not more than three years have elapsed since the policy terminated;

3.       The Insured is alive;

4.       You supply evidence which satisfies Us that the Insured is insurable
         under Our underwriting guidelines then in effect;

5.       You either repay or reinstate any policy loans and unpaid loan interest
         on this policy existing at termination; and


     6.  You make payment in the amount of (a) plus (b divided by c) where:
          a)   is the amount by which  Your Net  Policy  Value is less than zero
               before  deducting  the Monthly  Policy Charge on the Monthly Date
               preceding the Grace Period;
          b)   is three Monthly Policy Charges;
          c)   is 1 minus the maximum Premium Expense Charge.

Reinstatement will be effective on the Monthly Date on or next following the
date We approve it. Your Policy Date will remain the original Policy Date. You
will receive new Data Pages upon reinstatement.

                           PREMIUM INVESTMENT OPTIONS

ALLOCATIONS


You may allocate Net Premiums to any of the Divisions. The sum of the allocation
percentages must equal 100%.


We will allocate Net Premiums according to Your most recently chosen
allocations.

You may change the allocation percentages by providing Us Notice.

DIVISIONS

The Separate Account is comprised of Divisions. Each Division invests in a
Mutual Fund. You may allocate Net Premiums to one or more of the Divisions.
Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from each Division's assets
are credited to or charged against that Division without regard to income, gains
or losses of other Divisions or Our other income, gains or losses.

VARIABLE LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT


The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Assets are put into the Separate Account Divisions to support this policy and to
support other variable life insurance policies We may offer. We own the assets
of the Separate Account. These assets are not part of Our general account.
Income, gains and losses of the Separate Account Divisions, whether or not
realized, are credited to or charged against the Separate Account Divisions'
assets, without regard to Our other income, gains or losses. The assets of the
Separate Account will be available to cover the liabilities of Our general
account only to the extent that the Separate Account assets exceed its
liabilities.

We reserve the right to add other Divisions, eliminate or combine existing
Divisions, or transfer assets in one Division to another. If shares of a Mutual
Fund are no longer available for investment, or in Our judgment investment in a
Mutual Fund becomes inappropriate considering the purpose of the Separate
Account, We may eliminate the shares of a Mutual Fund or a class of shares of a
Mutual Fund and substitute shares of another Mutual Fund or another class of a
Mutual Fund. Substitution may be made with respect to both existing investments
and the investment of future Net Premium payments. However, no such changes will
be made without notifying You and getting any required approval from the
appropriate state and/or federal regulatory authorities.

If We eliminate or combine existing Divisions, or transfer assets in one
Division to another, You may change Your allocation percentages and transfer any
value in the eliminated or combined Divisions to other Division(s). You may
exercise this right until the later of 60 days after 1) the effective date of
such change or 2) the date You receive notice of this right. You may exercise
this right at no charge only if You have an interest in the affected
Division(s).



                        BENEFITS WHILE POLICY IS IN FORCE

POLICY VALUES

Your Policy Value at any time is equal to the sum of the values You have in the
Loan Account and the Divisions.

DIVISION VALUE

The value for each Division is equal to the number of Units in that Division
multiplied by that Division's Unit value. The number of Units in a Division at
any time equals 1 minus 2, where:

     1.  Is the number of Units credited to the Division because of:

a.       Net Premiums allocated to it, and

b.       Amounts transferred to it; and

     2.  Is the number of Units redeemed from the Division because of:

a.       Amounts deducted from it,

b.       Amounts transferred from it, and

c.       Amounts surrendered from it.

The number of Units credited or redeemed for a given transaction is equal to the
dollar amount of the transaction, divided by the Unit value on the Valuation Day
of the transaction.

UNIT VALUES

We will determine the Unit value for each Division at the end of each Valuation
Day.

The Unit value for each Division is obtained by multiplying the Unit value for
the immediately preceding Valuation Day by the particular Division's net
investment factor for the current Valuation Period.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

The net investment factor for a Division on any Valuation Day is equal to 1
divided by 2 where:

     1.   Is the net asset  value of the  underlying  Mutual Fund shares held by
          that  Division  at the end of such  Valuation  Day  before  any policy
          transactions are made on that day; and

     2.   Is the net asset  value of the  underlying  Mutual Fund shares held by
          that Division at the end of the  immediately  preceding  Valuation Day
          after all policy transactions were made for that day.

We reserve the right to adjust the above formula for any taxes determined by Us
to be attributable to the operations of the Division.


LOAN ACCOUNT VALUE

You may borrow against Your Policy under certain conditions. When You take out a
loan, We redeem the amount of the loan from one or more of the Divisions and
transfer the proceeds into the Loan Account. For details of the Loan Account see
the Policy Loans provision.

                                    TRANSFERS

TRANSFERS ALLOWED


You may transfer amounts between the Divisions as provided below. To request a
transfer, You must provide Us Notice. If We receive Your request prior to the
close of the NYSE, the transfer is made and value is determined as of that day.
Requests received after the close of the NYSE will be processed and values
determined as of the next Valuation Day. We reserve the right to not accept
transfer requests from someone requesting them for multiple contracts for which
they are not the owner. We also reserve the right to modify or revoke transfer
privileges.

TRANSFERS FROM DIVISIONS


You may transfer amounts from one Division to another by making either a
scheduled or unscheduled Division transfer as follows:

UNSCHEDULED DIVISION TRANSFERS - You may make unscheduled transfers from one
Division to another. You must specify the dollar amount or percentage to
transfer to and from each Division. We reserve the right to charge a transaction
charge as shown on the current Data Pages.

SCHEDULED DIVISION TRANSFERS - (Dollar Cost Averaging) - You may make scheduled
transfers from one Division to another, as follows:

1.       Transfers will begin on the date You specify otherwise on the first
         Monthly Date following receipt of Your request. The transfer date will
         never be the 29th, 30th or 31st.

2.       You  must   specify  how  often  the transfers  will  occur  (annually,
         semi-annually, quarterly or monthly).

3.       You must specify the dollar amount or percentage to transfer from and
         to each Division and such amounts must be less than or equal to the
         value of that Division.

4.       The  transfers  will  continue  until the value in the  Division(s)  is
         zero or We  receive  Notice to stop  making the transfers.

5.       We reserve the right to limit the number of Divisions from which
         transfers may be made at the same time. In no event will the limit ever
         be less than two.

AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING

Automatic portfolio rebalancing (APR) allows You to maintain a specific
percentage of Your Net Policy Value in the Divisions You have selected over
time.

APR transfers:

1.       Do not begin until the expiration of the Examination Offer (see
         Examination Offer on the front cover of Your policy).

2.       May be made on the frequency (monthly,  quarterly,  semi-annually or
         annually) You specify on a calendar year or Policy Year basis.

3.       Do not begin until We receive Your Notice.

Transfers are effective at the end of the Valuation Period during which We
receive Your Notice. APR is not available if You have scheduled division
transfers (dollar cost averaging).

                                  POLICY LOANS

You may borrow  against Your Policy  Value with this policy as sole  collateral.
You may borrow up to 90% of Your Net Surrender Value.

The minimum loan amount is shown on the current Data Pages.

LOAN ACCOUNT

If You borrow against Your Policy, We will redeem units from the Division(s) in
an amount equal to Your loan and transfer the redemption proceeds to Your Loan
Account. The effective date of the transfer is the date of the loan.

You may tell Us the proportion to redeem from each Division. If You do not tell
Us, the loan amount will be redeemed in the same proportion as the allocation
used for Your Monthly Policy Charge.

Your Loan Account will be part of Our general account and will be credited with
interest from the date of the loan. We will credit interest to Your Loan Account
at the interest rate shown on the current Data Pages. The interest rate is an
effective annual rate. Interest accrues daily.

LOAN INTEREST CHARGE

Interest charges accrue daily at the annual loan interest rate shown on the
current Data Pages. Interest is due and payable at the end of each Policy Year.
Any interest not paid when due is added to the loan principal and bears interest
at the same rate. The adding of unpaid interest charges to the loan principal
will cause additional amounts to be redeemed from the Divisions in the same
manner as described above for loans.

REPAYMENT

You may repay all or part of a policy loan as long as the policy is in force.
Any loan repayment amount is transferred from Your Loan Account and applied to
the Divisions in the same manner used to allocate premium payments. Any policy
loans and unpaid loan interest not paid prior to the Insured's death or maturity
are deducted from the death or maturity proceeds.

YOU SHOULD IDENTIFY THE PURPOSE OF ANY PAYMENT. IF YOU DO NOT, WE WILL APPLY ANY
PAYMENT FIRST TO REPAY ANY OUTSTANDING POLICY LOAN.

                                POLICY SURRENDER

FULL SURRENDER

You may surrender Your Policy in full for its Net Surrender Value by sending Us
Notice.

SURRENDER CHARGES

The Table of  Surrender  Charges is shown on the current  Data Pages.  Surrender
charges vary based on the Target Premium of the policy and will apply during the
first 10 Policy  Years.  Any Policy Face Amount  increase has its own  surrender
charge period (for 10 Policy  Years) which begins on the  Adjustment  Date.  The
surrender  charge on the policy will be the total of the  surrender  charges for
the Policy Face Amount at issue and any Policy Face Amount  increase.  Decreases
in Policy Face Amount do not decrease surrender charges on the policy.

PARTIAL SURRENDERS

Each Policy Year after the first  Policy Year,  You may take partial  surrenders
from the Net Surrender Value, subject to the following:

1.   Each  partial  surrender  must be in an amount  not less  than the  minimum
     amount shown on the current Data Pages; and

2.   The amount surrendered may not exceed 90% of the Net Surrender Value.


The partial surrender will result in the redemption of Units in the Division
from which the partial surrender occurs. The partial surrender is effective at
the end of the Valuation Period during which We receive Your Notice.

You may tell Us in what proportion to allocate the amount of the partial
surrender from the Divisions. If You do not tell Us, We will withdraw the
partial surrender from the Divisions in the same proportion as the allocations
used for Your current Monthly Policy Charge.

Your  Policy  Value is reduced by the amount of the partial  surrender  plus any
transaction fee as shown on the current Data Pages.

If Option 1 death benefit is in effect and the Death Proceeds equal the Total
Face Amount, then the Total Face Amount is reduced by the amount of the partial
surrender and any transaction fee as shown on the current Data Pages. If You
have increased Your policy's Total Face Amount, any reduction of the Total Face
Amount will be made on a last in, first out basis. The resulting Total Face
Amount must be at least the minimum Total Face Amount for this policy as shown
on the current Data Pages. However, if You make a preferred partial surrender,
as described below, We will not reduce the Total Face Amount.

A preferred partial surrender is available only if Option 1 death benefit is in
effect. The maximum preferred partial surrender is equal to (a plus b) not to
exceed (c) where: a) is the amount of the partial surrender plus any transaction
charge; b) is the amount of any preferred partial surrenders in the same Policy
Year; c) is 5% of the Net Policy Value as of the end of the prior Policy Year.

The total preferred partial surrenders may not exceed Our maximum limits under
Our underwriting guidelines then in effect.

If Option 2 death benefit is in effect, then the Total Face Amount is not
reduced.

If Option 3 death benefit is in effect and Death Proceeds equal the Total Face
Amount, then the Total Face Amount is reduced by the lesser of (a) or (b) where:
a) is the partial surrender amount plus any transaction fee (as shown on the
current Data Pages); b) is the greater of (1) the amount that total partial
surrenders exceed total premiums paid or (2) zero.

If there have been increases in Total Face Amount, any reduction of the Total
Face Amount will be made on a last in, first out basis. The resulting Total Face
Amount must be at least the minimum Total Face Amount for this policy as shown
on the current Data Pages.

All partial surrenders will be subject to the limits as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code Section 7702, as amended. An increase in Total Face Amount may be
required in order to maintain compliance with the limits.

                                 POLICY EXPENSES

MONTHLY POLICY CHARGES

On the Policy Date, and each Monthly Date thereafter, We will deduct a Monthly
Policy Charge.

The deduction for the Monthly Policy Charge is the sum of the following amounts:


1.   The cost of insurance (described below) and the cost of additional benefits
     provided by any rider in force for the policy month; and

2.   The current  asset based charge which will not exceed the maximum  shown on
     the current Data Pages.

We will withdraw the Monthly Policy Charge from the Policy Value.

The Monthly Policy Charge will be allocated:

1.   The same as the allocation percentages You chose for Your premiums; or

2.   Determined on a Prorated Basis; or

3.   Any other allocation which We mutually agree upon.

If You do not designate Monthly Policy Charge allocation percentages, they will
be the same allocation percentages You chose for Your premiums. The sum of the
percentages for all the Divisions must equal 100. Changes in allocation
percentages may be made by providing Us Notice. Once approved by Us, they are
effective as of the next Monthly Date.

If the amount in a Division is insufficient to allow the allocation You chose,
Your Monthly Policy Charge will be allocated on a Prorated Basis.

COST OF INSURANCE

The cost of insurance on each Monthly Date is:


1.   The cost of insurance  rate as  described  in the Cost Of  Insurance  Rates
     provision divided by 1,000; multiplied by

2.   The net amount at risk.

The net amount at risk is the result of:

1.   The death  benefit as  described  in the Death  Proceeds  provision of this
     policy at the beginning of the Policy Month, divided by 1.0024663; minus

2.   The Policy Value at the beginning of the policy month  calculated as if the
     Monthly Policy Charge was zero.

COST OF INSURANCE RATES

The monthly cost of insurance rates at issue and for any underwritten Total Face
Amount increases are based on the age at issue and adjustment, duration since
issue and adjustment, risk classification, and smoking status of the Insured.
The monthly cost of insurance rates for any non-underwritten Total Face Amount
increases are based on the age at issue, duration since issue, risk
classification, and smoking status of the Insured. The monthly cost of insurance
rates are also based on gender of the Insured, unless otherwise indicated on
Your Data Pages. We determine these rates based on Our expectations as to Our
future investment earnings, expenses, mortality and persistency experience. Any
change in these rates applies to all individuals of the same class as the
Insured. The cost of insurance rates will never be greater than shown in the
Table of Guaranteed Maximum Cost of Insurance Rates on the current Data Pages.

PREMIUM EXPENSE CHARGE

We will deduct a Premium Expense Charge as shown on the current Data Pages from
each premium payment. The result will be the Net Premium payment.

                                 DEATH PROCEEDS

We will pay the death proceeds, subject to the provisions of the policy, after
We receive Notice and proof that the Insured died before the Maturity Date. The
death proceeds, determined as of the date of the Insured's death, are 1 minus 2
where:

1.   Is the death  benefit  described  below plus any proceeds  from any benefit
     rider on the Insured's life; and

2.   Is any  outstanding  policy  loan and  unpaid  loan  interest  and,  if the
     Insured's  death occurs during a grace period,  any overdue  Monthly Policy
     Charges.

We will pay interest on death proceeds as required by law.

DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS

This policy provides three death benefit options. The option in effect is shown
on the current Data Pages.

For any death benefit option, the applicable percentages are shown on Your Data
Pages.

Option 1.

Under Option 1, the death benefit equals the greater of:

1.   The Total Face Amount; or

2.   The amount found by  multiplying  Your  Policy  Value by the  applicable
     percentage shown on Your Data Pages.

Option 2.

Under Option 2, the death benefit equals the greater of:

1.   The Total Face Amount plus Your Policy Value; or

2.   The amount found by  multiplying  Your  Policy  Value by the  applicable
     percentage shown on Your Data Pages.

Option 3.

Under Option 3, the death benefit equals the greater of:

1.   The Total Face Amount plus the  greater of: a) premiums  paid less  partial
     surrenders; and b) zero; or

2.   The amount found by  multiplying  Your  Policy  Value by the  applicable
     percentage shown on Your Data Pages.

anniversary. To request a change in the death benefit option, You must send Us
Notice. A change approved on a Monthly Date will be effective on that Monthly
Date. A change approved on other than a Monthly Date will be effective on the
next following Monthly Date. Changes in options are limited to two per Policy
Year and are subject to the following conditions:

1.   If the change is from  Option 1 to Option 2, We will  reduce the Total Face
     Amount.  The  reduction  will be equal to the Policy Value on the effective
     date of the change.  If there have been increases in the Total Face Amount,
     the reduction of the Total Face Amount will be made on a last in, first out
     basis.  The Total  Face  Amount  after any  reduction  must be at least the
     minimum  Total Face  Amount as shown on Your  current  Data  Pages.  We may
     require proof of insurability which satisfies Us.

2.   If the change is from Option 2 to Option 1, We will increase the Total Face
     Amount.  The increase  will be equal to the Policy  Value on the  effective
     date of change.  The increase will be in the same  proportion as the Policy
     Face Amount to the Total Face Amount. No proof of insurability is required.

3.   If the change is from Option 3 to Option 1, We may  increase the Total Face
     Amount if the total  premiums paid are greater than any partial  surrenders
     and any transaction fee (as shown on the current Data Pages) to the date of
     the change.  The increase will be in the same proportion as the Policy Face
     Amount is to the Total Face Amount. No proof of insurability is required.

4.   If the change is from  Option 3 to Option 2, We will  adjust the Total Face
     Amount. If there is an increase in Total Face Amount,  the increase will be
     in the same  proportion as the Policy Face Amount to the Total Face Amount.
     If there is a  reduction  of the Total  Face  Amount  and  there  have been
     increases in Total Face Amount,  the  reduction  will be made on a last in,
     first  out  basis.  The  amount of the  adjustment  will be  determined  by
     subtracting  the Policy Value from the greater of: a) total  premiums  paid
     less partial surrenders; and b) zero. We may require proof of insurability.

5.   You may not change from Option 1 to Option 3 or from Option 2 to Option 3.

6.   A Death  Benefit  Option change will be subject to the limits as defined in
     the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702, as amended.  An additional increase
     in Total Face Amount may be required in order to maintain  compliance  with
     the limits.

MATURITY PROCEEDS

If the Insured is living on the policy's Maturity Date, We will pay You the
policy's maturity proceeds, which are equal to the Net Surrender Value.

                             BENEFIT PAYMENT OPTIONS

You may elect a benefit payment option for payment of Your death, maturity, or
surrender proceeds. If no benefit payment option has been elected at the
Insured's death, the beneficiary may apply the death proceeds to a benefit
payment option.

Once the proceeds are applied under a benefit payment option, this policy must
be exchanged for a supplementary contract.

Benefit payment options are based on the 1983a Annuity Mortality Table with
mortality projected 18 years by projection scale G at 3.0% interest, compounded
annually. Benefit payment options are also based on the gender of the payee
except for policies issued in states which require unisex rates or in connection
with benefit plans not based on the gender of the Insured.

If the payee's correct age or gender, if applicable, is not given to Us at the
time benefit options become payable, We will adjust the periodic income payable
under the supplementary contract. Any adjustment will be based on the amount of
periodic income that would have been purchased at the correct age and gender, if
applicable.

OPTION A. SPECIAL BENEFIT  ARRANGEMENT - An  individualized
- --------------------------------------
benefit option can be designed with Our approval.

OPTION B. LIFE INCOME - We will pay an income during a person's lifetime. You
may elect a minimum guaranteed period. Payments will be in an amount We
determine, but not less than guaranteed by this section (a 10 year guaranteed
period certain is shown in the table below). If the payee dies after payments
begin and before the end of any minimum guaranteed period, the remaining
payments will be paid to a payee named under the benefit option.

OPTION C. JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME - We will pay an income during the
lifetime of two persons and continuing until death of the survivor. You may
elect a minimum guaranteed period. Payments will be in an amount We determine,
but not less than guaranteed by this section (a 100% joint survivor life income
with 10 year guaranteed period certain is shown in the table below). If both
persons die after payments begin and before the end of any minimum guaranteed
period, the remaining payments will be paid to a payee named under the benefit
option.

OPTION B TABLES

Minimum monthly life income for each $1,000 of proceeds applied. We will make
the first payment on the effective date of the supplementary contract. Male and

BENEFIT PAYMENT CONDITIONS

When You elect a benefit payment option:

1.   Any  amount  payable  to an  assignee  will be paid in one lump sum and any
     remaining  proceeds  will then be applied to the  elected  benefit  payment
     option.

2.   The  proceeds  applied  must be at least  $5,000  and  result  in  periodic
     payments of at least $25.

3.   Benefit  payment options are restricted if the recipient of benefits is not
     a natural person.

4.   Under  Options B and C, one of the persons on whose life payments are based
     must be the owner, Insured, or beneficiary. The size of payments depends on
     the age and  gender,  where  applicable,  of the person or persons on whose
     life payments are based.  This will be determined as of the effective  date
     of the supplementary  contract. We reserve the right to require evidence of
     age, gender where applicable, and continuing survival.

                               ADJUSTMENT OPTIONS

ADJUSTING THE FACE AMOUNT


While Your policy is in force You may request an increase or decrease in the
Total Face Amount. Decreases may not be made during the first Policy Year. Any
adjustment request is subject to Our approval.

The request for a decrease in the Total Face Amount will be subject to the
limits as defined in the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702, as amended. A
decrease may not be allowed if the decrease would cause a refund of premium
and/or the distribution of the Policy Value in order to maintain compliance with
the limits. The Total Face Amount may not be decreased below the minimum shown
on Your Data Pages.


APPROVAL OF AN ADJUSTMENT


Any increase in Policy Face Amount or Total Face Amount will be in a risk
classification We determine, and will be approved if:


1.   The Insured is alive; and

2.   The Attained Age of the Insured is 75 or less; and

3.   The amount of the Total Face Amount  increase is at least the minimum Total
     Face Amount increase shown on the current

     Data Pages; and

4.   You supply  evidence which satisfies Us that the Insured is insurable under
     Our underwriting guidelines then in effect; and

5.   The death proceeds less the Policy Value does not exceed Our maximum limits
     as defined under Our underwriting guidelines then in effect.

No adjustment will be approved if:


1.   The Total Face Amount after adjustment would be less than the minimum Total
     Face Amount shown on the current Data Pages; or

2.   Your Monthly Policy Charges are being waived under any rider.

REQUESTING AN ADJUSTMENT

You must send Us Notice for an adjustment. The Insured and owner must sign a
Notice requesting a Total Face Amount increase. The Notice must show the Total
Face Amount desired after adjustment. An adjustment is effective on the
Adjustment Date.

                            RIGHT TO EXCHANGE POLICY

You may exchange this policy for a new life insurance policy We make available
for this purpose on the life of the Insured. The new policy will not be a term
insurance policy or a variable insurance policy. Evidence of insurability will
not be required.

The exchange must be made during the first 24 months from the Policy Date while
Your policy is in force, but not while it is in a grace period. The exchange
will be effective on Our receipt of written notice. This policy will then
terminate. The new policy will have the same Policy Date as this policy.

The new policy will have the same death benefit as this policy unless required
to be higher in order to qualify as "life insurance" as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code, Section 7702, as amended. The new policy will be based on the same
issue age, gender, and risk classification as this policy.

No additional charge will be made for this exchange privilege. Any outstanding
policy loans and unpaid loan interest must be repaid or transferred to the new
policy.

Any benefit riders included on this policy may be exchanged, without evidence of
insurability, for similar benefit riders on the new policy if:

1.   You request the similar benefit rider to be included on the new policy; and

2.   The similar benefit rider was available for the new policy on the Effective
     Date of the  benefit  rider of this  policy  based on the same  issue  age,
     gender, if applicable, and risk classification of the Insured.

                         OWNER, BENEFICIARY, ASSIGNMENT

OWNERSHIP

The owner is named in the application unless You change ownership as provided
below. As owner, You may exercise every right and privilege provided by Your
policy, subject to the rights of any irrevocable beneficiary(ies). Your
ownership rights and privileges continue while Your policy is in force.

BENEFICIARY

The beneficiary(ies) named in the application will receive the death proceeds
unless You change the beneficiary designation as provided below. If any
Beneficiary dies before the Insured, unless You direct otherwise, We will pay
the death proceeds to any surviving Beneficiary(ies) according to their
designated percentages. If no beneficiary(ies) survives the Insured, the death
proceeds will be paid to the owner or to the owner's estate unless otherwise
specified.

CHANGE OF OWNER OR BENEFICIARY

You may change the owner or beneficiary(ies) of this policy by sending Us
Notice. Our approval is needed and no change is effective until We approve it.
Once approved, the change is effective as of the date You signed the request. We
may require that You send Us this policy so We can record the change.

BENEFIT INSTRUCTIONS

While the Insured is alive, You may send Us instructions for the payment of the
death proceeds under one of the benefit payment options. Such instructions, or
change of instructions, must be in a format We specify. We must approve the
arrangement chosen before any payment is made. If You change beneficiary(ies),
prior benefit instructions are revoked.

ASSIGNMENT

You may assign Your policy as collateral for a loan. The assignment must be in
writing and filed in Our Office. We assume no responsibility for any
assignment's validity. An assignment as collateral does not change the owner.
The rights of beneficiaries, whenever named, except irrevocable beneficiaries,
become subordinate to those of the assignee.

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

THE CONTRACT

This policy, the attached application(s) and riders, any amendments to the
application(s), any adjustment and reinstatement application(s), and the current
Data Pages make up the entire contract. Any statements made in the
application(s), an adjustment application(s) or any amendments to the
application(s) will be considered representations and not warranties. No
statement, unless made in an application(s), or amendments thereto, will be used
to void Your policy (or void an adjustment in case of an adjustment
application(s)) or to defend against a claim.

ALTERATIONS

This policy may be altered by mutual agreement, but any alterations must be in
writing and signed by one of Our corporate officers. No one else, including the
agent, may change the contract or waive any provisions.

INCONTESTABILITY

With respect to statements made in the initial application(s) for this policy,
We will not contest this policy after the Insured has been alive for two years
after the Policy Date. With respect to statements made in any subsequent
application(s) for additional coverage or reinstatement application(s), We will
not contest the additional coverage or reinstated coverage resulting from such
application(s) after the Insured has been alive for two years after the date of
the adjustment or reinstatement. The time limits in this Incontestability
provision do not apply to fraudulent misrepresentations.


MISSTATEMENT OF AGE AND GENDER

If the age or gender, where applicable, of the Insured has been misstated, the
death benefit will be that which would be purchased by the most recent cost of
insurance rate charge at the Insured's correct age or gender, where applicable.


DEFERMENT


We will usually pay surrenders, partial surrenders, policy loans or maturity
proceeds within 5 Valuation Days after We receive Notice. We will usually pay
any death benefit within 5 Valuation Days after We receive 1) proof at Our
Office of the Insured's death, and 2) any other forms We may require to be
completed.


We may not be able to determine the value of the Divisions of Our Separate
Account if:


1.       The NYSE is closed on other than  customary  weekend  and holiday
         closings,  or trading on the NYSE is  restricted  as
         determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC);

2.       The SEC, by order, permits postponement; or


3.       The SEC requires that trading be restricted or declares an emergency,
         as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably
         practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the net
         asset values of the Mutual Funds.

If any of the above events occur, We reserve the right to defer:

1.       Determination and payment of any surrender, partial surrenders,
         maturity proceeds, or death proceeds;

2.       Payment of any policy loans;

3.       Determination of the Unit values of the Divisions;

4.       Any requested transfer between the Divisions; and


5.       Application of Your death proceeds, maturity proceeds, or surrender
         proceeds under Benefit Payment Options.


If payments are delayed and Your request for total surrender, partial surrender,
transfer or policy loan is not canceled by Your Notice, the amount of the
surrender, transfer or policy loan will be determined the first Valuation Date
following the expiration of the permitted delay. The death proceeds, maturity
proceeds, surrender or policy loan will be paid, or transfers made, within 5
Valuation Days thereafter.

SUICIDE

This policy's death proceeds will not be paid if the Insured dies by suicide,
while sane or insane, within 2 years of the Policy Date. Instead, We will return
all premiums paid, less any policy loans and unpaid loan interest, less any
partial surrenders. This amount will be paid to the beneficiary(ies).

Any Total Face Amount increase made under the adjustment options will not be
paid if the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within 2 years of the
Adjustment Date. Instead, We will return the sum of the cost of insurance
charges for the increased amount of protection. This amount will be paid to the
beneficiary(ies).

BASIS OF VALUES

Guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates are based on the mortality table
referred to on the current Data Pages. We filed a detailed statement of the
method of calculating values and benefits with the insurance department of the
state in which this policy is written. The guaranteed values are greater than or
equal to those required by any state law.

STATEMENT OF VALUE

You will receive a statement once each Policy Year until the policy terminates.
The statement will show:

1.       The current death benefit;

2.       The current Policy and Surrender Values;

3.       All premiums paid since the last statement;

4.       All charges since the last statement;

5.       Any policy loans and unpaid loan interest;

6.       Any partial surrenders since the last statement;

7.       Any investment gain or loss since the last statement; and

8.       The value of each Division.
