Under the ABC plan, your insurance premiums are collected from your bank account electronically. After each premium payment has been withdrawn from your bank account, a single-line entry in the amount of your premium payment will appear on your bank statement. That entry will be your receipt for payment of your premium. When paying with ABC, you no longer have to write additional checks or mail any premium payments. As long as you maintain a sufficient balance in your bank account, your insurance premiums are automatically paid from your account with no further effort on your part. PREAUTHORIZED DEBIT AGREEMENT I, the undersigned bank account owner, hereby authorize and request THE UNITED STATES LIFE Insurance Company In the City of New York ("Company") to initiate electronic or other commercially accepted type debits against the indicated bank account in the depository institution named below ("Depository") for the payment of premiums and other indicated charges due on the insurance policy or policies listed below (hereafter referred to as "Policy", whether one or more), and to continue to initiate such debits in the event of a conversion, renewal or other change to any such policy. I hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any loss, claim or liability of any kind by reason or dishonor of any debit. I understand that this Authorization will not affect the terms of the Policy, other than the mode of payment, and that if premiums are not paid within the applicable grace period, the Policy will terminate, subject to any applicable nonforfeiture provision. I acknowledge that the debit appearing on my bank statement shall constitute my receipt of payment, but no payment is deemed made until the company receives actual payment in its Administrative Center. I understand that this Authorization will not result in any insurance becoming effective under any conditional receipt or temporary insurance unless all terms of such conditional receipt or temporary insurance have been met. I agree that this Authorization may be terminated by me or the Company at any time and for any reason by providing written notice of such termination to the non-terminating party and may be terminated by the Company immediately if any debt is not honored by the Depository named below for any reason.

Such payment will be made in one sum to the beneficiary stated in the application. If death is due to suicide, payment will be limited to the return of the amount paid. Coverage under this agreement will be subject to the terms of the policy for which application is made. 5. Coverage will begin on the latest of the following dates: (a) the date of the application; (b) the date that all medical examinations have been taken; or (c) the date requested in the application. 6.

This inquiry includes information as to your character, general reputation, personal characteristics and mode of living. You have the right to make a written request to our Administration Center within a reasonable period of time to receive additional, detailed information about the nature and scope of this investigation, if one is made. Please address your request to The United States Life Insurance Company In the City of New York, P.O. Box 4880, Administrative Center, Houston, Texas 77210-4880. These reports are obtained in your best interest. They assist us in determining that the Company's insureds meet certain standards, thus allowing us to continue offering coverage at the lowest possible cost to all who qualify. Medical Information Bureau Information regarding your insurability will be treated as confidential. USL or its reinsurers may, however, make a brief report thereon to the Medical Information Bureau, a non-profit membership organization of life insurance companies, which operates an information exchange on behalf of its members. If you apply to another Bureau member company for life or health insurance coverage, or a claim for benefits is submitted to such a company, the Bureau, upon request, will supply such company with the information in its file. Upon receipt of a request from you, the Bureau will arrange disclosure of any information it may have in your file. If you question the accuracy of information in the Bureau's file, you may contact the Bureau and seek a correction in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. The address of the Bureau's information office is Post Office Box 105, Essex Station, Boston, Massachusetts 01112, telephone number (617) 426-3660. USL or its reinsurers may also release information in its file to other life insurance companies to whom you may apply for life or health insurance, or to whom a claim for benefits may be submitted. Insurance Information Practices To issue an insurance policy, we need to obtain information about you and any other persons proposed for insurance. Some of that information will come from you and some will come from other sources. That information and any subsequent information collected by us may in certain circumstances be disclosed to third parties without your specific authorization. You have a right of access and correction with respect to the information collected about you except information which relates to a claim or civil or criminal proceeding. If you wish to have a more detailed explanation of our information practices, please contact: The United States Life Insurance Company In the City of New York, Administrative Center, P.O. Box 4880, Houston, Texas 77210-4880. Telephone Interview Information (If Applicable) To help us process your application as rapidly as possible, USL may have one of its representatives contact you by telephone and at your convenience to secure additional underwriting information. You may be assured that all information developed in this interview will be kept in strictest confidence and used solely for insurance purposes. -8-
