                                        Part A Statements to the Company's Agent

                             AGREEMENT AND SIGNATURES

 A.  This Part A and any attached Part B will form the basis for and be a part
     of any policy or additional benefit provision issued on this application.

 B.  Coverage will take effect as provided in and subject to the terms and
     conditions of Conditional Temporary Insurance Agreement pages 11 and 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 that satisfies the requirements of such Conditional Temporary Insurance
     Agreement; and (2) the amount applied for in this and all other
     applications now pending in John Hancock Life Insurance Company does not
     exceed $1,000,000 life insurance if an individual policy or $3,000,000 life
     insurance if a survivorship policy.

 C.  If the applicant has a right to have the policy issued as requested without
     completing any Part B, the policy will take effect as of its Date of Issue,
     provided the initial payment has been made with this application.

 D.  In cases other than those described in B and C above, any policy or Benefit
     provision will take effect as of the Date of Issue of the policy, but: (1)
     only on delivery to and receipt by the Applicant of the policy and payment
     of the minimum initial premium thereon and (2) only if at the time of such
     delivery and payment each 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 pertaining
     to such person was completed.

 E.  No agent or medical examiner is authorized to make or discharge contracts
     or waive or change any of the conditions or provisions of any application,
     policy, or receipt, 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.

        Provisions F and G apply only if a Variable Product is applied for

 F.  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. An illustration of benefits,
     including death benefits, policy values and cash surrender values is
     available upon request.

 G.  A prospectus for the policy applied for has been given to the Proposed
     Insured and/or to the Applicant.
     Prospectus Date: ________________

 Provisions H, I,J, K, and L apply if the policy applied for is the result of a
                                term conversion

 H.  Any new policy will be a new, separate contract. If a new policy is issued
     in exchange for the original insurance, all liability of the Company under
     the original insurance will cease when the new policy takes effect. Until
     the new policy is issued, coverage will still be in force under the
     original policy. Coverage under the new policy will take effect as
     indicated in Paragraph C above.

 I.  The application for the original insurance, unless such insurance is now
     incontestable, and the application for each additional benefit provision
     which is to be retained as specified on page 4 of this Application, unless
     such provision is now incontestable, will also form a basis for and be a
     part of any new policy.

 J.  If the original policy or benefit provision is being exchanged and is
     subject to an assignment, the new policy will be subject to the same
     assignment unless it is discharged or, in the case of a policy loan
     assignment, unless the indebtedness has been repaid.

 K.  If the new policy is issued in exchange for the original policy, any
     nonforfeiture option election applicable to the original policy will be
     applicable to the new policy, if available, unless otherwise requested in
     writing.

 L.  Ownership and control of any policy issued on the attached application will
     be determined by the terms of the new policy.

       Provisions M and N apply if the policy applied for is a COLI policy

 M.  I agree and acknowledge that my employer may be the owner and beneficiary
     of the life insurance policy(ies) on my life. I further agree and
     acknowledge that to the extent my employer owns or is the beneficiary under
     the policy I, and my personal representative and heirs at law, have no
     ownership or beneficial interest or rights in the life insurance
     policy(ies) or the death proceeds thereof.

 N.  This consent is attached to and forms a part of any policy of insurance
     issued. This consent may be used to determine eligibility for insurance.

 All statements and answers in this application are, to the best of my knowledge
 and belief, true and complete. They are representations and not warranties. I
 assent to this application.

       NOTICE OF POTENTIAL INCOME TAX IMPLICATIONS FOR MODIFIED ENDOWMENT

    The Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 (TAMRA) changed the
    income taxation of cash withdrawn from certain 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 (if applicable), 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(s) 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 for
    Modified Endowment Contracts. I understand that my premium payments will
    cause the proposed policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract. I also
    understand the potential income tax effects of a distribution from a
    Modified Endowment Contract.

respect to any person proposed for insurance or change in coverage. Such a
report may contain information as to character, general reputation, personal
characteristics and mode of living of such person, and is customarily obtained
through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the
subject of the report. You have a right to make a written request for
information as to the nature and scope of any such report under the Acts by
writing to:

     Information obtained about your insurability will be treated as
confidential. The Company may, however, make a brief report thereon to the
Medical Information Bureau, a non-profit membership organization of life

insurance coverage, or a claim for benefits is submitted to such a company, the
Bureau, upon request, will supply such company with the information it may have
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 procedures similar to those set forth in the
Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.

     The Company may also release limited information in its file to other
properly authorized life insurance companies to which you may apply for life or
health insurance, or to which a claim for benefits may be submitted.

     Information may be released to proper regulatory agencies on request and to
insurance companies in connection with reinsurance.

informed through the Bureau of the underwriting actions of other companies to
whom you may have applied for life or health insurance.
