Unisex Policy
All references to "sex" are deleted.  Values and rates are unisex.  They do

Calculation of Values
Our calculations of guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for attained ages
15 and above are based on the 1980 CSO-NB and CSO-SB mortality tables for
nonsmokers and smokers, respectively. For attained ages 0-14, they are based on
the 1980 CSO-B table.

Optional Payment Plans
Optional Payment Plan Tables 2 and 5 are deleted from previous policy pages.
They are replaced by the following unisex tables.
