Features of Your Variable Universal Life Insurance Contract

Your variable  universal life insurance  contract  provides for flexible premium
payments and an adjustable  death benefit.  The contract  values are affected by
such things as the investment experience of the subaccounts,  the amount of your
premium payments,  monthly contract charges and the monthly interest credited to
your fixed account values.

Some aspects of your variable  universal life insurance contract are guaranteed,
including the maximum cost of insurance charges. Other aspects of your contract,
such as the investment experience of the subaccounts,  the current interest rate
on the fixed account and current cost of insurance charges,  are not guaranteed.
Fluctuations  in the  non-guaranteed  elements of your  contract will affect the
contract values and premium payments necessary to keep your contract in force.

Contract loans and partial  surrenders may adversely  affect the amount of death
benefit, contract values and premium payments necessary to keep your contract in
force.

Section 3: Proceeds
3.1 Types of Proceeds and Method of Payment

There are  various  types of  proceeds  available  under  this  contract.  These
include:

o    Death proceeds

o    Maturity proceeds

o    Surrender proceeds

o    Partial surrender proceeds

We will pay death, maturity, or surrender proceeds either under a payment option
(as  described in Section 12,  Payment of Proceeds) or in a lump sum. The amount
of proceeds  payable  will vary by the type of proceeds  and the form of payment
selected. We will only pay partial surrender proceeds as a lump sum.

We have the right to require  that this  contract  be returned to us when we pay
death, maturity, or surrender proceeds.

To the extent  permitted by law,  proceeds  will not be subject to any claims of
your creditors or the beneficiary's creditors.

3.2 Death Proceeds
If the Insured dies prior to the maturity  date, we will pay the death  proceeds
to the  beneficiary.  We will require  proof that the Insured's  death  occurred
while this contract was in force.

We will pay the  proceeds  to the  beneficiary  in a lump sum  unless you or the
beneficiary  elect one of the payment  options  listed in Section 12, Payment of
Proceeds.

The amount of death  proceeds  payable upon the  Insured's  death is  determined
according to the coverage option you have elected.  The coverage option is shown
in Section 1, Contract Data.

     Coverage Option A
     The death benefit will be the greater of:

     (1)  the specified amount on the date of death; or

     (2)  the  contract  value on the date of death  multiplied  by the corridor
          percentage  as shown in the  following  table for the Insured's age on
          the date of death.

     Coverage Option B
     The death benefit will be the greater of:

     (1)  the specified amount on the date of death,  plus the contract value on
          the date of death; or

     (2)  the  contract  value on the date of death  multiplied  by the corridor
          percentage  as shown in the  following  table for the Insured's age on
          the date of death.

     Coverage Option C
     The death benefit will be the greater of:

     (1)  the  specified  amount on the date of death,  plus the total  premiums
          paid, minus the total amount of partial surrenders; or

     (2)  the  contract  value on the date of death  multiplied  by the corridor
          percentage  as shown in the  following  table for the Insured's age on
          the date of death

We will increase  death  benefits  under any coverage  option by any  additional
benefits  provided by riders in force at the  Insured's  death and any  premiums
received  after the date of death.  We will also  refund  any cost of  insurance
charge  deducted for the period  beyond the date of death.  We will reduce death
benefits by any loan balance.

The purpose of this corridor percentage is to ensure that your contract will not
be disqualified as a life insurance  contract under Section 7702 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended.

If changes  occur in the  Internal  Revenue  Code  which  would  disqualify  the
contract as a life insurance  contract,  we have the right to amend the contract
in order to make it qualify under any new federal income tax laws.

We will pay interest on lump sum death  proceeds  from the date of the Insured's
death until the date of payment.  Interest will be at an annual rate  determined
by us, but never less than the rate required by the state in which this contract
is delivered.

3.3 Maturity Proceeds
Prior to the Insured's death you may elect to apply maturity  proceeds under any
payment  option  described  in Section 12,  Payment of  Proceeds.  The  maturity
proceeds will be equal to the cash surrender value.

3.4 Surrender Proceeds
We will pay proceeds of a full surrender as either a lump sum or under a payment
option as  described  in Section  12,  Payment of  Proceeds.  Unless you specify
otherwise,  we will pay full surrender  proceeds as a lump sum. We will only pay
partial surrender proceeds as a lump sum.

The amount of proceeds payable upon a full surrender is the cash surrender value
as described  in Section 6.8,  Cash  Surrender.  The amount of proceeds  payable
under the  Partial  Surrender  Provision  is  defined in  Section  6.9,  Partial
Surrenders.

Section 4: Premiums and Reinstatement

4.1 Payment
You must pay your first  premium  when the  contract  is  delivered.  Subsequent
premiums  may be paid at any time.  There is no  insurance  until we receive the
first  premium.  All premiums after the first must be paid at the Home Office or
to a representative  authorized to receive  premiums.  We will furnish a receipt
upon request.

4.2 Right to Refund
We will  inform  you if we  receive  a premium  payment  which  affects  the tax
qualification  of this  contract as  described  in Section  7702 of the Internal
Revenue  Code,  as  amended.  We will  offer  you the  choice of a refund of the
premium,  or  the  option  to  increase  the  specified  amount  subject  to our
underwriting requirements.

If you choose to increase the specified amount and the Insured fails to meet our
underwriting  requirements  for the required  increase in coverage,  we have the
right to refund,  with  interest,  any premium that would cause your contract to
violate Section 7702.

4.3 Planned Premium
The planned annual,  semi-annual,  quarterly or monthly premium payment is shown
in Section 1, Contract Data.

4.4 Amount and Frequency
Planned premiums may be paid at twelve,  six or three month intervals.  They may
also be paid monthly with our consent.  You may change the amount and  frequency
of planned premium at any time.  However, in order to keep the contract in force
the premium you pay must be  sufficient  to keep your  contract  from lapsing as
described in Section  4.8,  Grace  Period.  The actual  amount and  frequency of
premium  payments  affects  the  contract  value and the amount and  duration of
insurance.

We have the  right to limit  the  amount  of any  increase  in  planned  premium
payment.

4.5 Unscheduled Additional Premiums
You may pay unscheduled  premiums at any time. We reserve the right to limit the
number and amount of unscheduled premium payments.  We may require  satisfactory
evidence of insurability prior to accepting any unscheduled premium payments.

Unscheduled  premiums are subject to the  requirements  of Section 4.2, Right to
Refund,  if such premium  would  require an increase in the death  benefit under
Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

4.6 Guaranteed Payment Period
The period of time,  shown in Section 1, Contract Data,  during which one of the
following conditions must exist to prevent your contract from lapsing:

     (1)  the cash surrender value of the contract on a monthly  anniversary day
          must be sufficient to cover the monthly deduction; or

     (2)  total  premiums  paid  must  be at  least  equal  to  the  sum  of the
          guaranteed  monthly  premiums  for each month the contract has been in
          force,  plus  any  loan  balance  and  the  total  amount  of  partial
          surrenders, as provided in Section 4.8, Grace Period.

4.7 Guaranteed Monthly Premium
If you pay the guaranteed  monthly premiums as due, your contract will not lapse
during the guaranteed payment period (assuming you do not make any contract loan
or partial surrenders). Section 4.8, Grace Period, describes this in detail.

The guaranteed monthly premium will change if you increase the specified amount,
or add or delete any additional benefits provided by riders.

4.8 Grace Period
The conditions which will result in your contract lapsing will vary, as follows,
depending on whether the guaranteed payment period, shown in Section 1, Contract
Data, has expired.

     During the Guaranteed Payment Period The contract will lapse if there is no
     cash  surrender  value  and if the  accumulated  premiums  paid  as of each
     monthly anniversary day are less than:

                           X + Y + Z

     "X" is the  guaranteed  monthly  premium shown in Section 1, Contract Data,
     times the number of monthly  anniversary days during which the contract has
     been in force before any requested increases to the specified amount.

     If requested increases to the specified amount have occurred, "X" will also
     include each new  guaranteed  monthly  premium after an increase  times the
     number of monthly  anniversary dates during which each applicable  increase
     to the specified amount has been in force.

     "Y" is the amount of any loan balance.

     "Z" is the total amount of partial surrenders.

     We will  provide a grace  period  of 61 days  from the date  your  contract
     lapses to pay total premiums equal to or greater than X + Y + Z.

     After the Guaranteed Payment Period
     The  contract  will  lapse  if  the  cash  surrender  value  on  a  monthly
     anniversary  day  will  not  cover  the  monthly  deduction  for the  month
     beginning on that monthly anniversary day.

     We will  provide a grace  period  of 61 days  from the date  your  contract
     lapses to pay a premium that will provide  enough cash  surrender  value to
     cover the balance of the monthly deduction.

The contract will terminate  without value if sufficient  premium is not paid by
the end of the grace period.

Section 6,  Contract  Values,  describes  the cash  surrender  value and monthly
deduction. If the Insured dies during the grace period, we will pay the proceeds
reduced by any past due monthly deductions.

4.9 Reinstatement
If the grace period expires  without  sufficient  premiums being paid to prevent
lapse,  the contract may be reinstated  within two years after the expiration of
the grace period. Your contract cannot be reinstated if it has been surrendered.

In order to reinstate we must receive:

     (1)  satisfactory evidence of insurability of the Insured; and

     (2)  payment of the premium amount which would have been sufficient to keep
          the contract from lapsing,  as described in Section 4.8, Grace Period,
          with interest from the date of lapse; plus:

               (a)  two months of  guaranteed  monthly  premium if the  contract
                    lapsed during the guaranteed payment period; or

               (b)  three monthly  deductions  if the contract  lapsed after the
                    guaranteed payment period.

Interest at the loan interest  rate,  shown in Section 1, Contract  Data, on any
loan balance will be payable to the date of reinstatement. We will reinstate the
contract  on  the  monthly  anniversary  day  after  the  date  we  approve  the
reinstatement.

If lapse occurs during the  guaranteed  payment period or during a time when any
surrender  charges are  applicable,  the balance of the  guaranteed  payment and
surrender charge periods at the time of lapse will resume upon reinstatement.

If the contract  lapses and it is  reinstated,  we cannot contest the reinstated
contract after the contract has been in force during the Insured's  lifetime for
two years from the date of the reinstatement application.


Section 5: Contract Change Provisions

5.1 Right to Change
We require  that the  changes  provided  for in this  section be made by written
notice or written request. These changes may be made at any time the contract is
in force.

5.2 Changes in Specified Amount
You may change the  specified  amount  after the  contract has been in force one
year and you may only make one change every twelve  contract  months.  Specified
amount  changes  are  subject  to the  conditions  outlined  below.  Changes  in
specified  amount  will  be  effective  on  the  monthly  anniversary  day on or
following the date we approve your application.

     Decreases in the Specified Amount
     We will apply a decrease  first  against  any  increases  to the  specified
     amount in the reverse order in which they were made. We will then apply any
     remaining decrease against the initial specified amount.

     We have the right to decline to make any specified  amount decrease that we
     determine  would cause this contract to not qualify as life insurance under
     applicable tax laws.

     A decrease in the specified amount will not affect the surrender charge and
     a  decrease  in the  contract's  specified  amount  will not  decrease  the
     guaranteed monthly premium.

     The specified  amount  remaining in force after any requested  decrease may
     not be less than the minimum  specified amount shown in Section 1, Contract
     Data.

     Increases in the Specified Amount
     A request for an increase  in the  specified  amount will be subject to the
     following requirements:

          (1)  an application satisfactory to us must be submitted;

          (2)  the Insured's age must be less than the current maximum issue age
               for the contract;

          (3)  evidence of insurability;

          (4)  the increased  monthly  deduction  will not cause the contract to
               lapse,  as  described  in Section 4.8,  Grace  Period,  as of the
               effective date of the increase; and

          (5)  any increase will be subject to our issue rules and limits at the
               time of increase.

     After  an  increase,  additional  surrender  charges  will  apply  to  your
     contract. We will send you a new surrender charge schedule.

5.3 Change in Coverage Option
You may change the coverage option any time after the contract has been in force
one year. Once you have changed the coverage option,  you cannot change it again
for the next twelve months.

If the  coverage  option is Option B or Option C, it may be changed to Option A.
The new specified  amount will be the death benefit as of the effective  date of
the change. The effective date of change will be the monthly  anniversary day on
or next following the date we receive and approve your application for change.

If the  coverage  option is Option A or Option B you may not change it to Option
C. Coverage Option C is only available at issue.

If the  coverage  option is Option A or Option C, you may  change it to Option B
subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability.  The specified amount does not
change.  The new death  benefit will be the  specified  amount plus the contract
value.  The effective date of change will be the monthly  anniversary  day on or
following the date we approve your application for change.

We have the right to decline any coverage  option change that we determine would
cause this contract to not qualify as life insurance under applicable tax laws.

5.4 Changing Your Contract
Any change to your  contract  that is not  provided  for in this Section must be
approved  by us and  signed  by our  President,  Vice  President,  Secretary  or
Assistant Secretary.

We will send you an amendment or  endorsement  for  attachment  to your contract
showing the approved  change.  No agent has the authority to make any changes or
waive any of the terms of your contract.


Section 6: Contract Values

6.1 Net Premium
The net premium is the premium payment  received less the premium expense charge
shown in Section 1, Contract Data.

6.2 Contract Value
On the contract date the contract value equals:

     (1) the initial net premium paid; less

     (2) the monthly deduction, as defined in Section 2.17 of this contract.

On any day after the contract  date,  the  contract  value is equal to the fixed
account  value  (including  the loan account  value) plus the  variable  account
value.

6.3 Fixed Account Value
On the contract date the fixed account value equals:

     (1) the portion of the net premium allocated to the fixed account; less

     (2) the portion of the monthly deduction allocated to the fixed account.

On each valuation day the fixed account value will be equal to:

                  A + B + C - D - E - F

"A" is the fixed account value on the preceding valuation day plus interest from
the preceding valuation day to the date of calculation.

"B" is the  portion  of the net  premiums  allocated  to the fixed  account  and
received  since the  preceding  valuation  day,  plus  interest from the date we
receive such net premiums to the date of calculation.

"C" is the amount of any  transfers  from the  subaccounts  to the fixed account
since the preceding  valuation  day, plus interest on such  transferred  amounts
from the effective dates of such transfers to the date of calculation.

"D" is the amount of any transfers  from the fixed account,  to the  subaccounts
since the preceding valuation day, plus interest on such transferred amount from
the effective dates of such transfers to the date of calculation.

"E" is the amount of any partial  surrenders  from the fixed  account  since the
preceding  valuation  day, plus interest on these  surrendered  amounts from the
effective date of the partial surrenders to the date of calculation.

"F" is a pro-rata share of the monthly  deduction,  as described in Section 6.6,
Monthly Deduction, for the month beginning on that monthly anniversary day.

6.4 Interest Rate for Fixed Account Value
The  value in the  fixed  account  is  guaranteed  to  accumulate  at a  minimum
effective  annual  interest rate which is shown in Section 1, Contract  Data. We
may credit a rate in excess of the fixed account guaranteed  interest rate shown
in  Section  1,  Contract  Data  while the  contract  is in force and before the
maturity proceeds have been paid.

We may change the interest  rate  credited to new deposits at any time.  We will
not change the interest  rate  credited to funds in the fixed account more often
than once each year.

6.5 Variable Account Value
The variable  account  value is the sum of the values of the  subaccounts  under
this contract.

As of the allocation date the value of each sub-account equals:

     (1)  the portion of the initial net premium  allocated to the  sub-account;
          less

     (2)  the  pro-rata  share  of  the  monthly  deduction   allocated  to  the
          subaccounts.

6.6 Monthly Deduction
We will  make a  monthly  deduction  from the  contract  value  on each  monthly
anniversary day equal to the sum of the following:

     (1)  the cost of insurance, as described in Section 6.7, Cost of Insurance;

     (2)  the monthly expense charges as shown in Section 1, Contract Data; and

     (3)  the  cost  of any  additional  benefits  provided  by  riders  for the
          contract month.

6.7 Cost of Insurance
The cost of insurance on any monthly anniversary day is equal to:

                       Q x (R - S)
                          1000
"Q" is the cost of insurance rate .

"R" is the  Insured's  death benefit on that day  discounted  for one month at a
rate not less than the fixed account guaranteed  interest rate, shown in Section
1, Contract Data.

"S" is the contract value, as described in Section 6.2, Contract Value.

We determine the cost of insurance rates ('Q' in the above formula) based on the
Insured's  age,  number of completed  contract  years,  sex, and risk class.  We
guarantee  that these rates will never exceed the  guaranteed  cost of insurance
rates shown in Table D.

We will make any  change in the  current  cost of  insurance  rates on a uniform
basis for Insureds of the same age, sex and risk class whose contracts have been
in force the same length of time.  We will never  increase  the current  cost of
insurance rates to recover losses incurred, or decrease them to distribute gains
realized by us prior to the change.

These  guaranteed  maximum  rates  shown  in  Table  D are  based  on  the  1980
Commissioners  Standard  Ordinary Smoker or Nonsmoker  Mortality Table, age last
birthday.  We  will  adjust  the  guaranteed  maximum  cost of  insurance  rates
appropriately for special risk classes.

6.8 Cash Surrender
You may  surrender  this  contract for its cash  surrender  value at any time by
submitting a written notice or written request to us.

The cash surrender value of this contract is:

     (1) the contract value of this contract at the time of surrender; less

     (2) any applicable surrender charge; less

     (3) any loan balance.

We will also refund any cost of  insurance  deducted  for the period  beyond the
date of contract surrender.

Section 1, Contract Data shows the surrender charges. These charges apply in the
first 15 contract years.  Additional  surrender  charges will apply for 15 years
following any increases in specified amount.

Certain federal income tax consequences may apply to cash surrenders. You should
consult with your tax advisor before requesting any surrenders.

6.9 Partial Surrenders
You may surrender a portion of the contract  value and have the proceeds paid to
you in a lump sum.  A  partial  surrender  must  occur  before  the death of the
Insured and before the maturity date. The partial  surrender  amount will be the
proceeds plus the partial  surrender fee shown in Section 1, Contract  Data. The
minimum amount for a partial surrender is $500. The maximum partial surrender is
the cash surrender value, less $300. We will deduct the partial surrender amount
from the  contract  value on the day we receive  written  notice for the partial
surrender.

We will deduct the partial  surrender  amount  from the  subaccounts  and/or the
fixed account according to your instructions. If you provide no instructions, we
will deduct the partial  surrender amount from the subaccounts  and/or the fixed
account on a pro-rata  basis.  In the event that the  partial  surrender  amount
exceeds the sub-account(s) value and/or the fixed account value, we will process
the  partial  surrender  for the amount  available  and  contact you for further
instructions.

Under  Options A, B and C, we will  reduce  the  contract  value by the  partial
surrender amount.

In  addition,  for Option A we will reduce the  specified  amount by the partial
surrender  amount  minus the  excess,  if any,  of the death  benefit,  over the
specified  amount at the time the partial  surrender  is made.  However,  if the
partial  surrender  amount  is less  than or equal to the  excess  of the  death
benefit over the specified  amount,  we will not reduce the specified amount. We
have the right to require that the specified amount remaining in force after any
partial  surrender  be at least equal to the minimum  specified  amount shown in
Section 1, Contract Data.

Certain federal income tax consequences may apply to partial surrenders from the
contract. You should consult with your tax advisor before requesting any partial
surrenders.

6.10 Time Period for Payment
We will normally pay out any partial  surrender,  cash surrender value,  loan or
death  benefit  within  seven days of receiving  your written  notice or written
request, or receipt and filing of due proof of death. However, we have the right
to suspend or delay the date of any surrender,  partial surrender, loan or death
benefit payment from the subaccounts for any period during which:

     (1)  the New York Stock Exchange is closed,  other than  customary  weekend
          and  holiday  closings,  or trading on the New York Stock  Exchange is
          restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission; or

     (2)  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  permits  by an  order  the
          postponement for the protection of contract owners; or

     (3)  The Securities and Exchange  Commission  determines  that an emergency
          exists that would make the disposal of securities held in the variable
          account or the  determination  of the value of the variable  account's
          net assets not reasonably practicable.

For any surrender,  partial surrender,  loan or transfer from the fixed account,
we have the right to postpone  making a payment to you for up to six months from
the date of written notice.  If payment is not made within 30 days after receipt
of  documentation  necessary to complete the transaction (or such shorter period
required by a particular  jurisdiction)  we will add interest to the amount paid
from the date of receipt of documentation at 4% (or a higher rate if required by
a particular state).

6. 11 Extended Term Insurance
If your contract  lapses,  as described in Section 4.8,  Grace  Period,  we will
apply  the cash  surrender  value  to  continue  the  specified  amount  and any
additional benefits provided by riders for a portion of the next month.

The amount of extended term  insurance is  determined  according to the coverage
option in effect as of the date insurance is extended under this option.

This provision will not continue the contract beyond the maturity date.

6.12 Basis of Computation
Guaranteed  values and  reserves  are based on the 1980  Commissioners  Standard
Ordinary Smoker or Non-Smoker  Mortality Tables,  age last birthday at the fixed
account guaranteed interest rate shown in Section 1, Contract Data.

Guaranteed  fixed account  values and reserves under this contract are equal to,
or greater than, the minimum  values  required by law of the state in which your
contract is delivered. Where required, we have filed a detailed statement of the
method of computing these values with the insurance department of that state.

The  guaranteed  fixed  account  values are based on the minimum  fixed  account
guaranteed  interest  rate as  stated  in  Section  1,  Contract  Data,  and the
guaranteed  maximum cost of insurance rates as described in Section 6.7, Cost of
Insurance.


Section 7: Loans

7.1 Contract Loans
You may obtain a contract loan by submitting a written notice or written request
to us. This contract assigned to us is the only security needed.

When a loan is made, we will transfer an amount equal to the loan from the fixed
and variable accounts to the loan account. The loan account is part of the fixed
account,  which is part of our general account. If you do not specify allocation
instructions in your loan  application,  we will withdraw the loan pro rata from
all subaccounts of the variable account having  sub-account  values and from the
fixed account.

Amounts  transferred  to the loan account do not  participate  in the investment
experience  of the fixed or  variable  account  from which they were  withdrawn.
Amounts in the loan  account  will earn  interest at the minimum  fixed  account
guaranteed  interest rate shown in Section 1, Contract Data.  Different interest
rates may be applied to the loan  account than the fixed  account.  Any interest
credited on loaned amounts will remain in the fixed account.

You may repay your loan  balance in full or in part  while your  contract  is in
force prior to the death of the Insured.  Repayments  must be clearly  marked as
"loan  repayments" or we will credit them as premiums.  Each loan repayment will
result in a  transfer  of an amount  equal to the loan  repayment  from the loan
account to the fixed and/or variable  account.  We will use your current premium
allocation  schedule to allocate the loan  repayments.  We have the right to not
accept partial loan repayments for amounts less than $50.

A loan  balance  that  exists at the end of the grace  period  may not be repaid
unless this contract is reinstated.

7.2 Amount of Loan Available
The amount of loan available  will be equal to the cash  surrender  value of the
contract less any loan interest to the next contract anniversary.

7.3 Loan Interest
We will  charge  interest on any loan  balance  from the date of the loan at the
rate shown in Section 1,  Contract  Data.  We may establish a lower rate for any
period for which the loan balance is outstanding.

Interest  is payable at the end of each  contract  year and on the date the loan
balance is repaid. If interest is not received by the contract  anniversary,  we
will transfer the accrued loan interest from the fixed and variable  accounts to
the loan account on a pro rata basis.

7.4 Loan Balance
Loan balance means all unpaid contract loans and accrued loan interest.  We will
deduct any outstanding loan balance from the contract proceeds.

Your contract is  terminated  whenever  your cash  surrender  value is no longer
positive. We will mail notice to your last known address recorded with us and to
the holder of any assignment of record at least 31 days before such termination.


Section 8: Other Contract Provisions

8.1 Contract
This contract and application and any  supplemental  applications are the entire
contract.  This  contract  is issued in  consideration  of the  application  and
payment of the premiums.  We will attach a copy of any application when we issue
the  contract  and will  attach or  endorse  on the  contract  any  supplemental
applications when the supplemental coverage becomes effective.

In the absence of fraud, all statements made in any  applications  either by you
or by the Insured will be considered  representations and not warranties. We may
use  statements to contest a claim or the validity of this contract only if they
are contained in an application.

8.2 Incontestability
After this  contract  has been in force  during the  Insured's  lifetime for two
years from the contract  date, we cannot  contest this  contract,  except if the
contract lapses as described in Section 4.8, Grace Period.

We will not contest any increase in the specified  amount after the increase has
been in  force  during  the  Insured's  lifetime  for two  years  following  the
effective date of the increase.

8.3 Suicide
If the Insured  dies by suicide,  while sane or insane,  within two years of the
contract date, the amount payable by us will be equal to the contract value less
any loan balance.

If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years after the
effective date of any increase in the specified amount, the amount payable by us
associated  with  such  increase  will  be  limited  to the  cost  of  insurance
associated with the increase.

8.4 Age and Sex
If, while this  contract is in force and the Insured is alive,  it is determined
that the age or sex of the Insured as stated in Section 1,  Contract Data is not
correct,  we will adjust the contract value under this contract.  The adjustment
will be the  difference  between the  following two amounts  accumulated  at the
fixed account guaranteed interest rate annually. The two amounts are:

     (1)  the cost of insurance deductions that have been made; and

     (2)  the cost of  insurance  deductions  that  would  have been made at the
          correct age and sex.

If,  after the death of the Insured and while this  contract is in force,  it is
determined  that the age or sex of the Insured as stated in Section 1,  Contract
Data is not correct,  the death  benefit will be the net amount at risk that the
most recent cost of insurance  deductions  at the correct age and sex would have
provided plus the contract value on the date of death less any loan balance.

8.5 Termination of Coverage
Coverage under this contract terminates when any of the following events occur:

     (1)  you request that coverage terminate;

     (2)  the Insured dies;

     (3)  the contract reaches the maturity date; or

     (4)  the contract  lapses,  as described in Section 4.8, Grace Period,  and
          the grace period ends without sufficient premiums being paid.

8.6 Modifications
Upon notice to you, we may modify the contract, but only if such modification is
necessary to:

     (1)  make the  contract  or the  variable  account  comply  with any law or
          regulation issued by a governmental agency to which we are subject; or

     (2)  assure  continued  qualification  of the  contract  under the Internal
          Revenue Code or other  federal or state laws relating to variable life
          contracts; or

     (3)  reflect a change in the operation of the variable account; or

     (4)  provide additional variable account and/or fixed accumulation options.

We have the right to modify the  contract as necessary to attempt to prevent the
contract  owner from being  considered  the owner of the assets of the  variable
account.  In the event of any such  modification,  we will issue an  appropriate
endorsement to the contract, if required.

8.7 Nonparticipating
This  contract  is  nonparticipating.  It  will  not  participate  in any of our
profits, losses or surplus earnings.

8.8 Annual Report
At least annually we will send you a report showing the following:

     (1) the contract value;

     (2) the cash surrender value; and

     (3) any other information required by law or regulation.

Upon receiving your written notice or written request, we will send you a report
at any other time during the year for a reasonable charge as determined by us.


Section 9: Control of Contract

9.1 Ownership
The Insured is the owner unless otherwise provided in the application. As owner,
you may  exercise  every  right  provided  by your  contract.  These  rights and
privileges end at the Insured's death.

The consent of the  beneficiary is required to exercise these rights if you have
waived the right to change the beneficiary.

9.2 Change of Ownership
You may change the  ownership of this  contract by giving  written  notice.  The
change will be effective  on the date your request was signed,  but will have no
effect on any payment  made or other action taken by us before we receive it. We
may require that the contract be submitted for endorsement to show the change.

9.3 Assignment
An assignment  is a transfer of some or all of your rights under this  contract.
No assignment will be binding on us unless made in writing and filed at our Home
Office.  We  assume  no  responsibility  for  the  validity  or  effect  of  any
assignment.

9.4 Beneficiary
The  beneficiary  is  shown  on  the  application  or in  the  last  beneficiary
designation filed with us. Death proceeds will be paid to the beneficiary except
as provided in this Section.

If any beneficiary  dies before the Insured,  that  beneficiary's  interest will
pass to any other beneficiaries according to their respective interests.

If all beneficiaries  die before the Insured,  we will pay the death proceeds to
you, if living, otherwise to your estate or legal successors.

Unless you have  waived the right to do so,  you may change the  beneficiary  by
filing a written  notice or  written  request in a form  satisfactory  to us. In
order to be  effective,  the  request for change of  beneficiary  must be signed
while your  contract is in force and the  Insured is living.  The change will be
effective  on the date your  request  was  signed but will have no effect on any
payment made or other action taken by us before we receive it.

The interest of any beneficiary will be subject to:

     (1) any assignment of this contract which is binding on us; and

     (2) any optional settlement agreement in effect at the Insured's death.

9.5 Simultaneous Death of Beneficiary and Insured
We will pay death proceeds as though the beneficiary died before the Insured if:

     (1)  the  beneficiary  dies at the same  time as or  within  15 days of the
          Insured's death; and

     (2)  we have not paid the  proceeds to the  beneficiary  within this 15-day
          period.


Section 10: The Variable Account

10.1 General Description
The name of the variable  account is the Kansas City Life Variable Life Separate
Account.  The income,  gains and losses  (whether or not  realized)  from assets
allocated to the variable  account are credited or charged  against the variable
account without regard to our other income,  gains or losses. The portion of the
assets  of the  variable  account  equal  to the  reserves  and  other  contract
liabilities  with respect to the variable  account will not be  chargeable  with
liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct.

The assets of the variable  account are segregated by investment  options,  thus
establishing a series of subaccounts within the variable account.

When permitted by law, we reserve the right to:

     (1)  create new separate accounts;

     (2)  combine separate accounts;

     (3)  remove,  combine  or add  subaccounts  and  make  the new  subaccounts
          available to you at our discretion;

     (4)  substitute  shares  of  another  portfolio  of the  funds or shares of
          another investment company for those of the funds;

     (5)  add new portfolios to the funds;

     (6)  de-register the variable  account under the Investment  Company Act of
          1940 if registration is no longer required;

     (7)  make any changes required by the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

     (8)  operate the variable account as a managed investment company under the
          Investment Company Act of 1940 or any other form permitted by law.

If a change  is made,  we will  send you a  revised  prospectus  and any  notice
required by law. If required, we would first seek the approval of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission,  and when required,  the appropriate  state regulatory
authorities before making a change in the investment options.

10.2 Subaccounts
The  subaccounts  are separate  investment  accounts  that  together make up the
variable account. The assets of each sub-account are invested in a corresponding
portfolio of a designated  mutual  fund.  They are named in Section 1,  Contract
Data of the contract.

Sub-account  values will fluctuate in accordance with the investment  experience
of the applicable portfolio of the fund held within the sub-account.

The sub-account  value is equal to the number of accumulation  units credited to
the sub-account times the appropriate accumulation unit value.

The number of accumulation units to be purchased or redeemed in a transaction is
found by dividing:

     (1)  the dollar amount of the transaction; by

     (2)  the  sub-account's  unit  value  for the  valuation  period  for  that
          transaction.

The  number  of units in any  sub-account  will be  increased  at the end of the
valuation period by:

     (1)  any net  premiums  allocated  to the  sub-account  during the  current
          valuation period: and

     (2)  any transfers to the sub-account from another  sub-account or from the
          fixed account during the current valuation period.

The  number  of units in any  sub-account  will be  decreased  at the end of the
valuation period by:

     (1)  any amounts transferred from the sub-account to another sub-account or
          the fixed account;

     (2)  amounts surrendered during the current valuation period.

The number of units in any  sub-account  will also be  reduced  on each  monthly
anniversary  day by a  pro-rata  share of the  monthly  deduction.  The  monthly
deduction will reduce the sub-account units in proportion to each  sub-account's
value to the entire contract value.

The value of an  accumulation  unit for each of the  subaccounts was arbitrarily
set at $10 when the  first  investments  were  bought.  The  value for any later
valuation period is equal to:

                                      A x B

"A" is equal to the  sub-account's  accumulation  unit  value for the end of the
immediately preceding valuation day.

"B" is equal to the net investment factor for the most current valuation day.

The net investment factor equals:

                                      X - Z
                                      Y

"X" equals the sum of:

     (1)  the net asset value per  accumulation  unit held in the sub-account at
          the end of the current valuation day; plus

     (2)  the per  accumulation  unit amount of any  dividend,  or capital  gain
          distribution  on shares  held in the  sub-account  during the  current
          valuation day; less

     (3)  the per accumulation  unit amount of any capital loss  distribution on
          shares held in the sub-account during the current valuation day; less

     (4)  the per accumulation  unit amount of any taxes or any amount set aside
          during the valuation day as a reserve for taxes.

"Y" equals the net asset value per accumulation  unit held in the sub-account as
of the end of the immediately preceding valuation day.

"Z" equals the charges  deducted from the  sub-account on each valuation day for
the mortality and expense risk charge.

We deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from each of the  subaccounts on
each  valuation  day. This charge  compensates us for assuming the mortality and
expense  risks  under  this  contract.  These  charges  are shown in  Section 1,
Contract Data, of the contract.

The value of a sub-account may increase, decrease or remain the same.

10.3 Allocations
This contract provides  investment options for the amount in the contract value.
The initial premium allocation  percentages are indicated in the application for
this  contract.   These  percentages  will  also  apply  to  subsequent  premium
allocations until you change them. Such allocation percentages may be changed by
written notice.

Allocation  percentages must be zero or a whole number not greater than 100. The
sum of the premium allocation percentages must equal 100.

We have the right to limit the number of  sub-account  allocations  in effect at
any one time.

On the  allocation  date we will  allocate the contract  value to a money market
sub-account.  We will also  allocate any  subsequent  premiums that are received
from this time until the reallocation date to a money market sub-account. On the
reallocation  date,  contract  value in the  money  market  sub-account  will be
allocated  to the  subaccounts  and to the fixed  account  based on the  premium
payment  allocation   percentages  in  the  contract   application.   After  the
reallocation  date,  planned periodic premiums and unscheduled  premiums will be
allocated  as  requested  on the  valuation  day they are  received  by the Home
Office.


Section 11: Transfers

11.1 Transfer Fees
Six transfers per year may be made from  subaccounts  and the fixed account free
of charge.  Any unused  free  transfers  do not carry over to the next  contract
year.  We will charge a $25 transfer fee on any  additional  transfers  during a
contract  year.  For the purpose of  assessing a fee, we consider  each  written
notice or written  request or  telephone  request  to be one  transfer.  We will
deduct  the  processing  fee  from the  amount  being  transferred,  or from the
remaining contract value, according to your instructions.

11.2 Transfers From Subaccounts
After  the  right to  examine  period  and  reallocation  date and  prior to the
maturity date, you may transfer all or a part of the value in any sub-account of
the variable  account to one or more of the subaccounts of the variable  account
or to the fixed account.  The minimum amount that you may transfer is the lesser
of:

     (1) $250; or

     (2) the total value in that sub-account on that date.

We will treat any transfer that would reduce the amount in a  sub-account  below
$250 as a transfer request for the entire amount in that sub-account.

A transfer fee may apply as described in Section 11.1, Transfer Fees.

An  excessive  number  of  transfers,   including   short-term  "market  timing"
transfers,  may adversely affect the performance of the underlying fund in which
a sub-account invests. If, in our sole opinion, a pattern of excessive transfers
develops,  we have the right not to process a transfer request. We also have the
right not to process a transfer request when the sale or purchase of shares of a
fund is not reasonably  practicable due to actions taken or limitations  imposed
by the fund.

We may suspend or modify this transfer privilege at any time.

11.3 Transfers From the Fixed Account
At your request you may also  transfer an amount from the unloaned  value in the
fixed  account  to one or more  subaccounts  of the  variable  account.  We must
receive the request in writing or other form acceptable to us. You may make only
one transfer from the fixed account each contract year.

We will not transfer more than 25% of the unloaned fixed account  value,  unless
the  balance  after the  transfer  is less than  $250,  in which case the entire
amount will be transferred.

A transfer fee may apply as described in Section 11.1, Transfer Fees.

We may suspend or modify this transfer privilege at any time.


Section 12: Payment of Proceeds

12.1 Payment Options
You may apply death benefit,  maturity or full  surrender  proceeds of $2,000 or
more which are payable under this contract to any of the following options:

     Option 1. Interest Payments
     We will make interest payments to the payee annually or monthly as elected.
     We will pay  interest on the  proceeds at the  guaranteed  rate of 3.0% per
     year and this may be increased by additional  interest paid  annually.  The
     proceeds and any unpaid interest may be withdrawn in full at any time.


     Option 2. Installments of a Specified Amount
     We will make annual or monthly  payments  until the proceeds  plus interest
     are fully paid. We will pay interest on the proceeds at the guaranteed rate
     of 3.0% per year and this may be  increased  by  additional  interest.  The
     present value of any unpaid installments may be withdrawn at any time.

     Option 3. Installments for a Specified Period
     Payment of the proceeds may be made in equal annual or monthly payments for
     a specified  number of years.  We will pay  interest on the proceeds at the
     guaranteed  rate of 3.0% per year and this may be increased  by  additional
     interest.  The present value of any unpaid installments may be withdrawn at
     any time. The amount of each payment is shown in Table A.

     Option 4. Life Income
     We will pay an income during the payee's lifetime. You may choose a minimum
     guaranteed  payment  period  which  guarantees  continued  payments for the
     minimum amount of time selected,  even if the payee dies before we make the
     guaranteed  number  of  payments.  We  will  continue  payments  under  the
     Installment  Refund  Option until the total income  payments paid equal the
     proceeds applied. The amount of each payment is shown in Table B.

     Option 5. Joint and Survivor Income
     We will pay an income  during the lifetime of two persons and will continue
     to pay the same  income as long as either  person is  living.  The  minimum
     guaranteed  payment period will be ten years. The amount of each payment is
     shown in Table C.

If the payout rates in use by us at the time  proceeds  become  payable are more
favorable  than those  shown in Options 4 and 5, we will  provide a life  income
using the more favorable rates.

These  options are  supported  by our general  account.  The  payments  will not
reflect the investment experience of the variable account.

12.2 Payee
The payee is the person receiving proceeds under a payment option. The payee can
be you, the Insured or a beneficiary.  We will require satisfactory proof of the
payee's age under Options 4 and 5.

The contingent payee is the person named to receive proceeds if the payee is not
alive.

12.3 Minimum Payments
The payment under any payment  option must be at least $50. We may make payments
less frequently so that each payment is at least $50.

12.4 Choice of Options
You may choose an option by written notice during the Insured's  lifetime.  If a
payment option is not in effect at the Insured's death, the beneficiary may make
a choice.

12.5 Availability of Options
We have the right to  restrict  these  options  if you  designate  an  executor,
administrator, trustee, corporation, partnership or association as the payee.

12.6 Operative Date
The first  payment  will be  payable  on the  payment  mode  following  the date
proceeds become payable.

12.7 Death of Payee
At the death of the payee, any payments  remaining will be paid according to the
terms of the  payment  option  chosen,  unless the  contingent  payee  elects in
writing to receive the present value of any remaining  guaranteed  payments in a
lump sum.

If a  contingent  payee has not been named or does not  survive  the payee,  the
following amounts will be paid in one sum to the estate of the payee:

     (1)  any amount left on deposit under Option 1; and

     (2)  the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments under Options 2
          through 5.

If you have not named a contingent  payee, or if every contingent payee named by
you dies before the payee,  you may, by written  notice,  name a new  contingent
payee.  The new  contingent  payee will receive any amount that would  otherwise
have been payable to the payee's estate.

12.8 Claims of Creditors
To the extent permitted by law,  proceeds will not be subject to any claims of a
payee's creditors.
