Kansas City Life Insurance Company

                     Other Insured Term Life Insurance Rider


The Benefit
Kansas City Life Insurance Company will pay the Other Insured's specified amount
to the beneficiary  under this rider upon receiving proof of the Other Insured's
death on or before the expiration date and while this rider is in force.

The specified  amount  provided by this rider with respect to each Other Insured
is shown in the Contract Data Section of the contract.

Other Insured
An Other Insured is each person named as an Other Insured in the application for
this rider.

Cost of Insurance
The cost of insurance  for an Other  Insured on any monthly  anniversary  day is
equal to:

                                      Q X R

"Q" is the cost of insurance rate (as described in the Monthly Cost of Insurance
Rates provision) for each Other Insured.

"R" is each Other Insured's specified amount on that day.

Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates
The monthly cost of insurance rates used in calculating the cost of insurance on
each monthly  anniversary day are based on each Other Insured's sex, age, number
of completed  contract years following the effective  date(s) of this rider with
respect to each Other Insured,  and risk class on each monthly  anniversary day.
Age means  each  Other  Insured's  age,  as  defined  in the same  manner as the
Insured's age is defined in the contract.

The  cost  of  insurance  rates  used  will be  determined  by us  based  on our
expectations as to future mortality  experience.  Any change in the current cost
of  insurance  rates will be on a uniform  basis for Other  Insureds of the same
sex, age and risk class whose riders have been in force the same length of time.
The current  cost of insurance  rates will never be increased to recover  losses
incurred,  or decreased so as to  distribute  gains  realized by us prior to the
change.

The cost of insurance rates used will not exceed those shown in the Monthly Cost
of Insurance  Rates  provision of the contract.  The guaranteed  maximum cost of
insurance rates for special risk classes will be adjusted appropriately.

Changes in Specified Amount
An Other Insured's  specified  amount may be changed at any time after the first
rider year, subject to the conditions outlined below.

     Decreases in the Specified Amount
     Any decreases will be effective on the monthly  anniversary  day on or next
     following the date we receive your  application for decrease.  Any decrease
     will be applied first against any increases to the specified  amount in the
     reverse order in which they were made. Any remaining  decrease will then be
     applied against the initial specified amount.

     The specified  amount  remaining in force after any requested  decrease may
     not be less than $25,000.

     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)  evidence of  insurability  satisfactory  to us must be submitted;
               and

          (3)  that the increased  monthly deduction will not cause the contract
               to lapse,  as  described  in the Grace  period  provision  of the
               contract, as of the effective date of the increase.

     Any  increase  approved  by us will be  effective  on the date shown in the
     Contract Data Section of the contract.

Ownership
Unless otherwise provided, the owner(s) of this rider will be as follows:

     (1)  the owner of the contract while the Insured is living; and

     (2)  after  the  death of the  Insured,  each  Other  Insured  will own the
          benefit on his or her life.

Beneficiary
When the Other  Insured is not also the Insured under the base  contract,  death
proceeds for this rider will be paid, unless otherwise provided, to the owner of
this rider, if living, otherwise to the owner's estate.

When the  Other  Insured  is also the  Insured  under the base  contract,  death
proceeds  for  this  rider  will be  paid,  unless  otherwise  provided,  to the
beneficiary as specified in the contact.

Suicide
If an Other Insured dies by suicide,  while sane or insane,  within two years of
the effective date of this rider,  the amount payable by us will be equal to the
total cost of insurance and any expense charges associated with this rider.

If an Other  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 and any expense charges associated with such increase.

Incontestability
We cannot  contest  this  rider  after it has been in force  during  each  Other
Insured's lifetime for two years from the effective date of this rider.

Any increase in the specified  amount for an Other Insured will not be contested
after the increase  has been in force during the lifetime of that Other  Insured
for two years following the effective date of the increase.

Age and Sex
If,  while  this  rider  is in force  and the  Other  Insured  is  alive,  it is
determined that the age or sex of the Other Insured has been incorrectly  stated
in the  contract,  we will adjust the contract  value under this  contract.  The
adjustment to the contract  value will be the  difference  between the following
two amounts accumulated at 4% annually. The two amounts are:

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

     (2)  the cost of insurance  deductions for this rider that should have been
          made.

If, after the death of the Other Insured and while this rider is in force, it is
determined  that the age or sex of the Other  Insured is not correct,  the death
benefit will be the  specified  amount for the Other Insured rider that the most
recent  cost of  insurance  deductions  at the  correct  age and sex would  have
provided.

Conversion of Other Insured's Term Rider

The insurance on an Other Insured may be converted at any time to a new contract
without evidence of insurability upon written request to us provided:

     (1)  this rider is in force: and

     (2)  the request for  conversion  is made before the  expiration  date,  or
          within 31 days thereafter.

An Other  Insured  will also have 31 days  after  the  death of the  Insured  to
convert to a permanent contract.

The premium for the new contract  will be based on the age of the Other  Insured
on the contract date of the new contract. The first premium for the new contract
must be paid before it will take effect.

New Contract
The new contact may be on any  permanent  life contract then being issued by us.
You will not be allowed to convert to a term contract.

The amount of insurance  of the new contract may not be more than the  insurance
provided by this rider at the time of conversion.  We will not allow  conversion
to a contract which is less than the minimum amount we issue.

Any  insurance  under this  rider  which is  converted  to a new  contract  will
terminate at the time the new contract takes effect.

The time  period  in the  Suicide  and  Incontestability  provisions  of any new
contract will begin on the effective date of this rider.

The new contract will be issued on the same risk class as this rider.

Availability of Riders
The new contract may include  additional riders only with our consent.  The time
period of the Suicide and  Incontestability  provisions of any new contract will
apply to these riders form the effective date of the new contract.

Temporary Insurance
A temporary insurance benefit is provided for an Other Insured for 31 days after
the Insured dies. If the Other Insured dies during this period without  applying
for conversion,  we will pay a death benefit. The death benefit will be equal to
the specified amount in force on the Other Insured.

Supplemental Benefits
If the monthly deductions are waived for the contract due to the Insured's total
disability in accordance with the Disability Continuance of Insurance Rider, the
cost of any  benefits  provided by this rider will also be added to the contract
value.

The terms of the Insured's  Accidental  Death Rider,  if any,  apply to an Other
Insured if an Accidental Death Rider and an accidental death specified amount is
shown  separately  for that Other  Insured in the  Contact  Data  Section of the
