     I hereby authorize any licensed physician, medical practitioner, hospital,
clinic, or other medical or medically related facility, insurance company, the

has any records or knowledge regarding the undersigned to give to the Company or
its reinsurer(s) any such information, including information concerning every
condition for which each has been under observation or treatment, including if
the information specified contains information related to treatment for drug
and/or alcohol abuse or for psychiatric and/or mental conditions, the history
obtained, physical and laboratory findings, diagnosis and treatment. I hereby
authorize the Company to release any records or other information in its
possession regarding the undersigned to the JH Networking Insurance Agency, Inc.
which may use this information in its efforts to secure insurance coverage for
substandard risks with other insurance companies, a list of which is available
upon request.

     I acknowledge receipt of the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and the New

                                  AGREEMENTS

All statements in this application are, to the best of my knowledge and belief,
true, complete, and correctly recorded. I assent to this application and also
agree that:

 1. The statements and answers in this application are representations and not
    warranties and attachments hereto will be relied upon and form the basis of
    any insurance.

 2. No information will be considered as having been given to John Hancock
    unless it is written in this application.

 3. No agent, producer, or medical examiner or any other person, except an
    officer of John Hancock, is authorized to make or discharge contracts or
    waive or change any of the conditions or provisions of any application or
    policy, or to accept risks or pass on insurability. Any such unauthorized
    action is not notice to or knowledge of the company. A medical examiner is
    not an agent of the Company. In order for any of the above events to take
    effect they must be provided for in writing signed by an officer of the
    Company.

 4. Coverage will take effect as provided in and subject to the terms and
    conditions of Conditional Temporary Insurance Agreement on pages 11 & 12
    bearing the same date and number of this Part A if: (1) an advance payment
    of at least the Minimum Temporary Insurance Premium is made with this Part A
    which satisfies the requirements of such Conditional Temporary Insurance
    Agreement; and (2) the amount applied for in this and all other applications
    now pending with John Hancock Life Insurance Company does not exceed
    $1,000,000 life insurance.

 5. In cases other than those described in "4." above, any policy issued on the
    basis of this application will take effect as of the Date of Issue, but (i)
    only upon approval of the application by John Hancock and delivery to and
    acceptance by the Applicant of the policy and payment of the minimum initial
    premium (in accordance with the billing frequency chosen) and (ii) only if,
    at the time of such delivery and payment, the person proposed for insurance
    in Parts A and B of this application is living and has not consulted or been
    examined or treated by a physician or practitioner since the latest Part B
    was completed.

 6. All benefits, payments, and values, including the Death Benefit and Account
    or Cash Value, under any policy issued which is based upon the investment
    experience of a separate investment account may increase or decrease in
    accordance with the investment experience of the separate investment account
    and are not guaranteed as to fixed dollar amount. The Account Value or Cash
    Value may even decrease to zero.

 7. The registered representative's signature below certifies that a prospectus
    for the policy applied for has been given to the Proposed Insured and/or to
    the Applicant and that no written sales materials other than those approved
    by John Hancock Life Insurance Company have been used.

 The undersigned Trustee(s) certify that the following statements are true:

 The Trustee(s) has the authority, either by the terms of the trust or
 applicable state law, to own and purchase life insurance on the life of the
 Insureds. The Trustee(s) signing this document and the application are
 sufficient in number to act on behalf of the trust.

 The trust document containing the names of the Trustee(s) and the date of the
 trust is in full force and effect and existed prior to the date of the
 application for life insurance.

 The trust empowers the Trustee(s) to exercise any and all rights associated
 with owning life insurance policies and the Trustee(s) can exercise these
 rights without the consent of the Insured. These rights include but are not
 limited to: surrendering the policy, withdrawing policy values, borrowing
 against the policy values, assigning the policy, transferring ownership, and
 changing the beneficiary.

 The undersigned Trustee(s) agrees that John Hancock Life Insurance shall not be
 responsible for the application or disposition of the proceeds of the said
 policy purchased by the Trustee(s), and the payment to the Trustee(s) of the
 proceeds of the policy shall fully discharge John Hancock Life Insurance from
 all liability under the said policy to the extent of such payment. By signing
 this verification form, the Trustee(s) verify that all information contained
 herein is true and complete. We agree jointly and severally to indemnify the
 insurer and its agents, and hold them harmless from and against all liability
 as a result of claims, demands, or judgments against them arising from
 effecting any insurance transactions in reliance on this certification.

NOTICE OF POTENTIAL INCOME TAX IMPLICATIONS FOR MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain amendments made to the Internal Revenue Code by the Technical and
Micellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 (TAMRA) have changed the income taxation of
cash withdrawn from certain affected life insurance policies called Modified
Endowment Contracts, or MECs. Due to the amount of premium you plan to pay into
this policy, you will be affected by this law.

It is important for you to understand that all distributions made from your
policy as applied for, including policy loans, withdrawals, partial surrenders
and certain dividends, will be considered to be a distribution of any gain. This
means that if your policy is in a gain position when the withdrawal is made
(i.e., the value of your policy exceeds the amount you've paid into it), you
will owe ordinary income tax on the amount you withdraw. In addition, a 10%
penalty tax is imposed by the IRS on any taxable distribution made prior to age
59 1/2, except on disability or if taken in the form of an annuity.

The insurance proceeds payable to your beneficiary upon the death of the
Proposed Insured will continue to be income tax free under current legislation.

This notice is designed to inform you of the income taxation of life insurance
based upon our understanding of the information currently available. It is not
intended to provide you with legal advice, which neither John Hancock nor its
Representatives can give. Therefore, if you have questions as to the
applicability of any provision of the law, you should seek the advice of your
own tax and legal counsel.

If you wish to modify your planned premium payments to avoid creating a Modified
Endowment Contract, your Marketing Representative will assist you. Otherwise,
please sign the Acknowledgment below.


                   Policyowner Acknowledgment and Signature

I have read the above Notice of Potential Income Tax Implications. I understand
that my premium payments will cause the proposed policy to become a Modified
Endowment. I also understand the potential income tax effects of a distribution
from a Modified Endowment.

Policyowner Signature(s) _________________________________   Date ______________

                         _________________________________
                         sign here only if your Contract
                         will be a Modified Endowment
