Declarations    General. To the best of my knowledge and belief the answers
                recorded are true and complete. In those states where written
                consent is required by law, my agreement in writing is required
                to any entry made by the Company in the "Company Use" section as
                to: (a) age; or (b) plan of insurance; or (c) riders; or (d)
                amounts; or (e) rate class.

                When Insurance Takes Effect. If a prepayment is made in
                connection with this Application, the insurance will take effect
                as stated in the Prepayment Receipt and Temporary Insurance
                Agreement. Otherwise, the insurance will take effect only when
                the first premium is paid; provided that at the time of such
                payment: (a) this Application has been approved by the Company
                at 501 Boylston Street, Boston, MA; and (b) there has been no
                change in insurability as represented in this Application since
                the date of the Application.

                Limitation on Authority of Agents and Examiners. Agents and
                Examiners do not have authority: (a) to determine insurability;
                (b) to change any terms of this Application; or (c) to make a
                contract for the Company.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authorization   In order that insurance can be issued, I authorize each of the
                following having records or knowledge of me or my health to give
                this information to the Company: a medical practitioner; a
                medical facility; an insurance company; the Medical Information
                Bureau; a consumer reporting bureau; and any other company,
                concern or person. If insurance on any minor child is applied
                for this authorization extends to records and knowledge of that
                child and the child's health. Information received by the
                Company may be disclosed to third parties in the conduct of the
                Company's business.

                I understand that: I have a right of access to and correction of
                all information obtained by the Company; I can ask to be
                interviewed with respect to any investigative consumer report;
                and I can ask for a copy of any such report. A photocopy of this
                authorization is as valid as the original. This authorization is
                valid for 30 months from the date it is signed. I have received
                a Notice of Information Practices; this Notice gives a more
                detailed description of the information practices of the
                Company.
