  *  For the segment amount(s) effective on the contact date (see Segment
     Table), the Insured's attained age is the issue age found on page 3 plus
     the length of time since the contract date.

     For any segment amount(s) effective after the contract date, the Insured's
     attained age is the issue age of that segment plus the length of time since
     its effective date.

We may charge less than the maximum monthly rates. From time to time, we will
consider the need to change the rates we charge. We describe the factors we use
to determine such changes under General Provisions.

See the Basis of Computation for a description of the basis we use to compute
these rates.

                         THE CONTRACT

       ENTIRE CONTRACT   This policy and any attached copy of the application,
                         including an application requesting a change, form the
                         entire contract. We assume that all statements in an
                         application are made to the best of the knowledge and
                         belief of the person(s) who make them; in the absence
                         of fraud, they are deemed to be representations and not
                         warranties. We rely on those statements when we issue
                         the contract and when we change it. We will not use any
                         statement, unless made in an application, to try to
                         void the contract, to contest a change, or to deny a
                         claim.

CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS   Only a Pruco Life Insurance Company officer with the
                         rank or title of vice president may agree to modify
                         this contract, and then only in writing.

      INCONTESTABILITY   Except as we state in the next sentence, we will not
                         contest this contract after it has been in force during
                         the Insured's lifetime for two years from the issue
                         date. The exceptions are: (1) non-payment of enough
                         premium to pay the required charges; and (2) any change
                         in the contract that requires our approval and that
                         would increase our liability. For any such change, we
                         will not contest the change after it has been in effect
                         for two years during the lifetime of the Insured.

                         OWNERSHIP

                         Unless a different owner is named in the application,
                         the owner of the contract is the Insured. If a
                         different owner is named, we will show that owner in an
                         endorsement to the contract. This ownership arrangement
                         will remain in effect unless you ask us to change it.

                         You may change the ownership of the contract by sending
                         us a request in a form that meets our needs. We may ask
                         you to send us the contract to be endorsed. If we
                         receive your request in a form that meets our needs,
                         and the contract if we ask for it, we will file and
                         record the change, and it will take effect as of the
                         date you signed the request.

                         While the Insured is living, the owner, with no one
                         else's consent, is entitled to any contract benefit and
                         value, and to the exercise of any right and privilege
                         granted by the contract or by us.

                         DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS

                         We will pay a benefit (described below) to the
                         beneficiary at the Insured's death if this contract is
                         in force at the time of that death; that is, if it has
                         not been surrendered and it is not in default past the
                         grace period.

                         If the contract is not in default, the amount we will
                         pay will be the death benefit determined as of the date
                         of the Insured's death reduced by any contract debt
                         (described under Loans).

                         If the contract is in default, and the Insured's death
                         occurs in the grace period (described under Default),
                         we will pay the death benefit reduced by any contract
                         debt and the amount needed to pay charges through the
                         date of death.

                         If the Insured's death occurs past the grace period, no
                         death benefit is payable.

         DEATH BENEFIT   This contract has a Type A, Type B, or Type C death
                         benefit. We show the type of death benefit that applies
                         to this contract under Type of Death Benefit. We show
                         the basic insurance amount under Life Insurance on the
                         Insured. The attained age factors are shown in the
                         Table of Attained Age Factors.

                         If this contract has a Type A death benefit, the death
                         benefit on any date is equal to the greater of: (1) the
                         basic insurance amount, and (2) the contract fund
                         before deduction of any monthly charges due on that
                         date plus a return of sales charges as described under
                         Surrender, multiplied by the attained age factor that
                         applies.

                         If this contract has a Type B death benefit, the death
                         benefit on any date is equal to the greater of: (1) the
                         basic insurance amount plus the contact fund before
                         deduction of any monthly charges due on that date, and
                         (2) the contract fund before deduction of any monthly
                         charges due on that date plus a return of sales charges
                         as described under Surrender, multiplied by the
                         attained age factor that applies.

                         If this contract has a Type C death benefit, the death
                         benefit on any date is equal to the greater of: (1) the
                         basic insurance amount plus the total premiums paid
                         minus total withdrawals to this contract both
                         accumulated with interest at the rate(s) displayed in
                         the contract data pages, and (2) the contract fund
                         before deduction of any monthly charges due on that
                         date plus a return of sales charges as described under
                         Surrender, multiplied by the attained age factor that
                         applies. For the purpose of determining the Type C
                         death benefit, the total premiums paid will not include
                         any charge to reinstate this contract as described
                         under Reinstatement.

                         For the purposes of computing the death benefit, if the
                         contract fund is less than zero we will consider it to
                         be zero. Your basic insurance amount and attained age
                         factors are shown in the contract data pages.

   CHANGING THE TYPE C   You may change the interest rate for the Type C death
DEATH BENEFIT INTEREST   benefit once each contract year. You may choose a rate
                  RATE   between 0% and 8% in 1/2% increments. The change will
                         become effective on the monthly date on or after the
                         date we receive your request.

      ADDITIONAL DEATH   This contract may provide additional benefits, which
              BENEFITS   may be payable on an Insured's death. If it does, they
                         will be listed on a contract data page in the section
                         captioned Other Benefits on the Insured, and a form
                         describing the benefit will be included in this
                         contract. Any such benefit will be payable only if the
                         contract is not in default past the grace period at the
                         time of the death.

     METHOD OF PAYMENT   You may choose to have any death benefit paid in a
                         single sum or under one of the optional modes of
                         settlement shown in the Settlement Options provision.

    NET AMOUNT AT RISK   The net amount at risk is used to determined the cost
                         of insurance as described under Adjustments to the
                         Contract Fund. It is equal to the death benefit (see
                         Death Benefit) minus the contract fund.

     SUICIDE EXCLUSION   If the Insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide
                         within two years from the issue date, this contract
                         will end and we will return the premiums paid, less any
                         contract debt, and less any withdrawals.

                         The following statement applies only with respect to an
                         increase in the basic insurance amount resulting from a
                         request you make in accordance with the Change in Basic
                         Insurance Amount provision of this contract. If the
                         Insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide after
                         two years from the issue date but within two years of
                         the effective date of an increase in the basic
                         insurance amount, we will pay, as to the increase in
                         amount, no more than the sum of the premiums paid on
                         and after the effective date of the increase.

     INTEREST ON DEATH   Any death benefit described above will be credited with
               BENEFIT   interest from the date of death in accordance with
                         applicable laws.

                         CHANGE IN BASIC INSURANCE AMOUNT

                         You may change the basic insurance amount, subject to
                         our approval and all these conditions and the
                         paragraphs that follow:

                         1.  You must ask for the change in a form that meets
                             our needs.

                         2.  The change must be one permitted by our current
                             underwriting rules.

                         3.  The amount of an increase or decrease must be at
                             least equal to the minimum increase or decrease in
                             basic insurance amount shown under Contract
                             Limitations in the contract data pages.

                         4.  The basic insurance amount after the decrease must
                             be at least equal to the minimum basic insurance
                             amount shown under Contract Limitations in the
                             contract data pages.

                         5.  If we ask you to do so, you must send us the
                             contract to be endorsed.

                         6.  You must prove to us that the Insured is insurable
                             for any increase.

                         7.  The contract must not be in default.

                         8.  We may deny any increase if it would cause the
                             number of segments shown in the Segment Table in
                             the contract data pages to exceed ninety-nine.

                         A change will take effect only if we approve your
                         request for it at our Home Office. Unless you ask us
                         otherwise, the change will take effect on the date we
                         approve it. You may request an earlier date, but it may
                         not be more than 90 days prior to the date of request.
                         If we approve the change, we will also recompute the
                         contract's charges, values and limitations. A change in
                         the basic insurance amount may also affect the amount
                         of any extra benefits this contract might have. We will
                         send you new contract data pages showing the amount and
                         effective date of the change and the recomputed
                         charges, values and limitations. If the Insured is not
                         living on the effective date, the change will not take
                         effect. We may deduct the administrative charge (shown
                         under Adjustments to the Contract Fund) for the change.

                         COST OF INSURANCE

                         On each monthly date, we will deduct a charge for the
                         cost of insurance from the contract fund. To determine
                         the maximum charge for the cost of insurance, we use
                         the following method:

                         We determine the maximum cost of insurance rate for
                         each currently effective basic insurance segment amount
                         shown in the Segment Table in the data pages using the
                         maximum monthly rate shown under the Table of Maximum
                         Monthly Insurance Rates for the appropriate rating
                         class. If there is only one basic insurance segment
                         amount currently in effect, we multiply the rate by the
                         net amount at risk (the death benefit minus the
                         contract fund) divided by $1000 to compute the maximum
                         charge for the cost of insurance.

                         If there are two or more basic insurance segments
                         currently in effect, we first allocate the total net
                         amount at risk (the death benefit minus the contract
                         fund) to each basic insurance segment based on the
                         proportion of its basic insurance amount to the total
                         of all basic insurance segment amounts currently in
                         effect. We multiply the rate by the allocated net
                         amount at risk divided by $1000 for each basic
                         insurance segment and add the results to determine the
                         total maximum charge for the cost of insurance.

                         CHANGING THE TYPE OF DEATH BENEFIT

                         This contract has a Type A, a Type B, or a Type C death
                         benefit (See Death Benefit). Subject to our approval,
                         you may change the type of death benefit. Except as we
                         state below, we will adjust the basic insurance amount
                         so that the death benefit immediately after the change
                         will remain the same as the death benefit immediately
                         before the change. If the basic insurance amount is
                         scheduled to change in the future (see Life Insurance
                         on the Insured in the contract data pages), we will
                         similarly adjust those future basic insurance amounts.
                         When changing to the Type C death benefit, you may
                         choose an interest rate between 0% and 8% in 1/2%
                         increments. Interest will begin to accumulate on the
                         day the change takes effect. When changing to or from a
                         Type C death benefit, we will not add any charge to
                         reinstate to the total premiums paid on this contract.

           TYPE A TO B   If you are changing from a Type A to a Type B death
                         benefit, we will reduce the basic insurance amount by
                         the contract fund on the date the change takes effect.

           TYPE A TO C   If you are changing from a Type A to a Type C death
                         benefit, we will change the basic insurance amount by
                         subtracting the total premiums paid on this contract
                         minus total withdrawals on the date the change takes
                         effect.

           TYPE B TO A   If you are changing from a Type B to a Type A death
                         benefit, we will increase the basic insurance amount by
                         the contract fund on the date the change takes effect.

           TYPE B TO C   If you are changing from a Type B to a Type C death
                         benefit, we first find the difference between (1) the
                         contract fund and (2) the total premiums paid on the
                         contract minus total withdrawals, determined on the
                         date the change takes effect. If (1) is larger than
                         (2), we will increase the basic insurance amount by
                         that difference. If (2) is large than (1), we will
                         reduce the basic insurance amount by that difference.

           TYPE C TO A   If you are changing from a Type C to a Type A death
                         benefit, we will change the basic insurance amount by
                         adding the total premiums paid minus total withdrawals
                         to this contract both accumulated with interest at the
                         rate(s) displayed in the contract data pages on the
                         date the change takes effect.

           TYPE C TO B   If you are changing from a Type C to a Type B death
                         benefit, we first find the difference between (1) the
                         contract fund and (2) the total premiums paid minus
                         total withdrawals to this contract both accumulated
                         with interest at the rate(s) displayed in the contract
                         data pages on the date the change takes effect. If (2)
                         is larger than (1), we will increase the basic
                         insurance amount by that difference. If (1) is larger
                         than (2), we will reduce the basic insurance amount by
                         that difference.

                         If the change in the type of death benefit results in a
                         reduction in the basic insurance amount, the basic
                         insurance amount after the decrease must be at least
                         equal to the minimum basic insurance amount, which we
                         show under Contract Limitations in the contract data
                         pages.

                         A change in the type of death benefit will take effect
                         only if we approve your request at our Home Office. If
                         we approve the change, we will recompute the contract's
                         charges, values and limitations shown in the contract
                         data pages. The change will take effect on the monthly
                         date that coincides with or next follows the date we
                         approve your request. We will send you new contract
                         data pages showing the amount and effective date of the
                         change in basic insurance amount and the recomputed
                         charges, values and limitations.

                         Your request for a change must be in a form that meets
                         our needs. We may require you to send us this contract
                         before we make the change.

- -------------------------=======================================================

                         BENEFICIARY

                         You may designate or change a beneficiary by sending us
                         a request in a form that meets our needs. We may ask
                         you to send us the contract to be endorsed. If we
                         receive your request, and the contract if we ask for
                         it, we will file and record the change and it will take
                         effect as of the date you signed the request. But if we
                         make any payment(s) before we receive the request, we
                         will not have to make the payment(s) again. Any
                         beneficiary's interest is subject to the rights of any
                         assignee we know of.

                         When a beneficiary is designated, any relationship
                         shown is to the Insured, unless otherwise stated. To
                         show priority, we may use numbered classes, so that the
                         class with first priority is called class 1, the class
                         with next priority is called class 2, and so on. When
                         we use numbered classes, these statements apply to
                         beneficiaries unless the form states otherwise.

                         1.  One who survives the Insured will have the right to
                             be paid only if no one in a prior class survives
                             the Insured.

                         2.  One who has the right to be paid will be the only
                             one paid if no one else in the same class survives
                             the Insured.

                         3.  Two or more in the same class who have the right to
                             be paid will be paid in equal shares.

                         4.  If no beneficiary survives the Insured, we will pay
                             in one sum to the Insured's estate.

                         Before we make a payment, we have the right to decide
                         what proof we need of the identity, age, or other facts
                         about any persons designated as beneficiaries. If
                         beneficiaries are not designated by name and we make
                         payment(s) based on that proof, we will not have to
                         make the payment(s) again.

                         PREMIUM PAYMENT

   PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS   The minimum initial premium shown in the contract data
                         pages is due on or before the contract date. There is
                         no insurance under this contract until that premium is
                         paid. We may require an additional premium if
                         adjustments to premium payments plus any contract fund
                         charges due on or before the payment date exceed the
                         minimum initial premium.

                         Subject to the limitations below, additional premiums
                         may be paid at any time during the Insured's lifetime
                         as long as the contract is not in default beyond the
                         grace period. Premiums may be paid at one of our
                         offices or to one of our authorized representatives. We
                         will give a signed receipt upon request. The minimum
                         premium we will accept is shown on a contract data
                         page. We have the right to refuse to accept a premium
                         payment that would in our opinion cause this contract
                         to fail to qualify as life insurance under applicable
                         tax law. We also have the right to refuse to accept any
                         payment that increases the death benefit by more than
                         it increases the contract fund.

      INVESTED PREMIUM   The invested premium amount is the portion of each
                AMOUNT   premium you pay that we add to the contract fund. It
                         is equal to the premium paid minus the adjustments to
                         premium payments shown under Adjustments to Premium
                         Payments on a contract data page.

      CHARGE FOR SALES   We subtract a charge for sales expenses from each
              EXPENSES   premium paid.

                         If, on the day we receive a premium, the total of all
                         effective segment allocation amounts is greater than
                         zero (see the Segment Table), we may deduct a sales
                         expense charge of up to 15% on all or a portion of the
                         premium and a charge of up to 2% on any remainder.

                         To determine the premium amount subject to the 15%
                         maximum rate, we use the following method:

                         1.  We allocate the premium to each basic insurance
                             segment based on the proportion of its segment
                             allocation amount to the total of all segment
                             allocation amounts currently in effect.

                         2.  We determine the amount of any premium previously
                             allocated to each basic insurance segment during
                             the current Target Year. We subtract this amount,
                             if any, from the segment allocation amount of each
                             such basic insurance segment. If the result is less
                             than zero, we consider it to be zero.

                         We take the lesser of the amounts determined in (1) and
                         (2) above for each basic insurance segment currently in
                         effect and add them together. The total is the amount
                         of the premium subject to the maximum 15% rate. If the
                         premium is greater than this total, the excess will be
                         subject to the maximum 2% rate.

                         If, on the day we receive a premium, the total of all
                         effective segment allocation amounts is zero (see the
                         Segment Table), we will deduct a sales expense charge
                         of up to 2% of the entire premium amount.

 CREDITING THE INITIAL   If we receive the first premium payment on or before
       PREMIUM PAYMENT   the contract date, we will credit the invested premium
                         amount to the contract fund on the contract date.

                         If we receive the first premium payment after the
                         contract date, we will credit the premium amount to the
                         contract fund on the payment date.

           ALLOCATIONS   We will allocate 100% of any invested premium into the
                         Money Market Investment Option until the end of the
                         Right to Cancel Contract period described on the
                         contract jacket. At the end of this period, unless you
                         ask us otherwise, we will re-allocate the amount in the
                         Money market Investment Option in accordance with the
                         Initial Allocation of Invested Premium Amounts shown in
                         the contract data pages.

                         You may allocate all or a part of your invested premium
                         amount to one or more of the variable investment
                         options listed in the contract data pages. You may
                         choose to allocate nothing to a particular variable
                         investment option. You may not choose a fractional
                         percentage.

                         The initial allocation of invested premium amounts is
                         shown on a contract data page. You may change the
                         allocation for future invested premium amounts at any
                         time if the contract is not in default. To change your
                         allocation, simply notify us in a form that meets our
                         needs. The change will take effect on the date we
                         receive your notice; we will send you a confirmation of
                         the transaction.

                         CONTRACT FUND

                         When you make your first premium payment, the invested
                         premium amount, less any charges due on or before that
                         day, becomes your contract fund. Amounts are added and
                         subtracted from the contract fund as shown under
                         Adjustments to the Contract Fund in the contract data
                         pages. The contract fund is used to pay charges under
                         this contract and will determine, in part, whether this
                         contract will remain in force or go into default. The
                         contract fund is also used to determine your loan and
                         surrender values, the amount you may withdraw, and the
                         death benefit.

- -------------------------=======================================================

                         DEFAULT

                         On each monthly date, we will determine the net cash
                         value. If the net cash value is greater than zero, the
                         contract will remain in force until the next monthly
                         date. If the net cash value is zero or less, the
                         contract is in default.

     NOTICE OF DEFAULT   If the contract is in default, we will mail you a
                         notice stating the amount we will need to keep the
                         contract in force. That amount will equal a premium
                         which we estimate will keep the contract in force for
                         three months from the date of default. We grant a 61
                         day grace period from the date we mail the notice to
                         pay this charge. The contract will remain in force
                         during this period. If that amount is not paid to us by
                         the end of the 61-day grace period, the contract will
                         end and have no value.

- -------------------------=======================================================

                         REINSTATEMENT

                         If this contract ends without value, as described under
                         Default, you may reinstate it. The following conditions
                         must be satisfied:

                         1.  The contract must not have been in default for more
                             than 5 years.

                         2.  You must prove to us that the Insured is insurable
                             for the contract.

                         3.  You must pay us a charge equal to: (a) an amount,
                             if any, required to bring the contract fund to zero
                             on the date the contract went into default, plus
                             (b) the deductions from the contract fund during
                             the grace period following the date of default,
                             plus (c) a premium that we estimate will be
                             sufficient after administrative charges to cover
                             the deductions from the contract fund for three
                             monthly dates starting on the date of
                             reinstatement.

                         4.  Any contract debt (with interest to date at the
                             rate(s) we set for loans as we state under Loans)
                             must be restored or paid back. If that debt with
                             interest would exceed the loan value of the
                             reinstated contract, the excess must be paid to us
                             before reinstatement.

                         The date of reinstatement will be the beginning of the
                         contract month that coincides with or next follows the
                         date we approve your request. We will deduct all
                         required charges from your payment and put the balance
                         in your contract fund.

                         SEPARATE ACCOUNT

      SEPARATE ACCOUNT   The words "separate account," when we use them in this
                         contract without qualification, mean any separate
                         account we establish to support variable life insurance
                         contracts like this one. We list the separate accounts
                         available to you in the contract data pages. We may
                         establish additional separate accounts. We will notify
                         you within one year if we do so.

   VARIABLE INVESTMENT   A separate account may offer one or more variable
               OPTIONS   investment options. We list them in the contract data
                         pages. We may establish additional variable investment
                         options. We will notify you within one year if we do
                         so. We may also eliminate existing variable investment
                         options, but only with the consent of the SEC and,
                         where required, of the insurance regulator of our state
                         of domicile and/or where this contract is delivered.

                         Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses
                         from assets in each variable investment option are
                         credited to, or charged against, that variable
                         investment option. This is without regard to income,
                         gains, or losses in other variable investment options.

      SEPARATE ACCOUNT   We may invest the assets of different separate accounts
           INVESTMENTS   in different ways. But we will do so only with the
                         consent of the SEC and, where required, of the
                         insurance regulator of our state of domicile and/or
                         where this contract is delivered.

                         The assets of the separate account shall be available
                         to cover the liabilities of the general account only to
                         the extent that the assets exceed the liabilities of
                         the separate account arising under the variable life
                         insurance policies supported by the separate account.

                         We will determine the value of the assets in each
                         separate account registered with the SEC under the
                         Investment Company Act of 1940 and any variable
                         investment option on each day the New York Stock
                         Exchange is open for business.

                         TRANSFERS

                         You have the right to transfer amounts into or out of
                         variable investment options up to twelve times in each
                         contract year without charge if the contract is not in
                         default. Additional transfers may be made during each
                         contract year, but only with our consent. We may charge
                         for additional transfers as we state under Adjustments
                         to the Contract Fund.

                         We may restrict the number, timing and amount of
                         transfers in accordance with our rules if your transfer
                         activity is determined by us to be disruptive to the
                         variable investment option or to the disadvantage of
                         other contract owners. We may prohibit transfer
                         requests made by an individual acting under a power of
                         attorney on behalf of more than one contract owner.

                         To make a transfer, you must ask us in a form that
                         meets our needs. Unless otherwise restricted, the
                         transfer will take effect on the date we receive your
                         notice at our Home Office.

- -------------------------=======================================================

                         SURRENDER

                         You may surrender this contract for its net cash value.
                         To do so, you must ask us in a form that meets our
                         needs. We may require you to send us the contract.

                         We will usually pay any net cash value within seven
                         days after we receive your request and the contract (if
                         we require it) at our Home Office. But we have the
                         right to postpone paying you the part of the net cash
                         value that is to come from any variable investment
                         option provided by a separate account registered under
                         the Investment Company Act of 1940 if: (1) the New York
                         Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC requires that
                         trading be restricted or declares an emergency.

            CASH VALUE   The cash value at any time is the contract fund.

        NET CASH VALUE   The net cash value at any time is the cash value less
                         any contract debt.

                         If the contract is in default, the net cash value is
                         zero.

       RETURN OF SALES   If the contract is not in default, we will, upon
               CHARGES   surrender within four years of the contract date,
                         return 50% of any sales charges we deducted from
                         premiums paid within 24 months prior to the date we
                         receive your surrender request at our Home Office.

                         WITHDRAWALS

                         You may make withdrawals from the contract subject to
                         all these conditions and the paragraph that follows:

                         1.  You must ask for the withdrawal in a form that
                             meets our needs.

                         2.  The net cash value after withdrawal may not be less
                             than or equal to zero after deducting any charges
                             associated with the withdrawal.

                         3.  You may not withdraw less than the minimum amount
                             shown under Contract Limitations.

                         4.  The basic insurance amount after withdrawals must
                             be at least equal to the minimum basic insurance
                             amount shown under Contract Limitations.

                         5.  If you have a type A death benefit, we may ask for
                             proof that the Insured is insurable for an increase
                             in the net amount at risk. See Effect on Basic
                             Insurance Amount for details.

                         Any amount withdrawn may not be repaid except as a
                         premium subject to charges.

    EFFECT ON CONTRACT   On the date we approve your request for withdrawal, we
                  FUND   will reduce your contract fund by the withdrawal amount
                         and any charges listed under Adjustments to the
                         Contract Fund. Unless you request otherwise, we will
                         take any withdrawal proportionately from all variable
                         investment options that apply to the contract.

                         We may charge an administrative fee as stated under
                         Adjustments to the Contract Fund.

       EFFECT ON BASIC   If you have a Type B or Type C death benefit,
      INSURANCE AMOUNT   withdrawals will not affect the basic insurance amount.

                         If you have a Type A death benefit and the withdrawal
                         would cause the net amount at risk (see Net Amount at
                         Risk) to increase, you must prove to us that the
                         Insured is insurable for the increase. Otherwise, we
                         will reduce the basic insurance amount and,
                         consequently, your death benefit to offset this
                         increase. If the basic insurance amount is scheduled to
                         change (see Life Insurance on the Insured in the
                         Contract Data pages), we will similarly adjust all
                         remaining basic insurance amounts. The reduction in the
                         basic insurance amount will never be more than the
                         withdrawal amount. If we reduce the basic insurance
                         amount, we will recompute the contract's charges,
                         values and limitations. We will send you new contract
                         data pages showing these changes.

                         We will usually pay any withdrawal amount within seven
                         days after we receive your request and the contract (if
                         we require it) at our Home Office. But we have the
                         right to postpone paying you the part of the withdrawal
                         that is to come from any variable investment option
                         provided by a separate account registered under the
                         Investment Company Act of 1940 if: (1) the New York
                         Stock Exchange is closed; or (2) the SEC requires that
                         trading be restricted or declares an emergency.

                         LOANS

                         Subject to the minimum loan requirement and the
                         requirements of this provision, you may at any time
                         borrow any amount up to the current loan value less any
                         existing contract debt.

            LOAN VALUE   If the contract is not in default, the loan value at
                         any time is equal to 90% of the cash value.

                         If the contract is in default, it has no loan value.

         CONTRACT DEBT   Contract debt at any time means the loan on the
                         contract at that time, plus the interest we have
                         charged that is not yet due and that we have not yet
                         added to the loan.

     LOAN REQUIREMENTS   For us to approve a loan, the following requirements
                         must be met: you must assign this contract to us as
                         sole security for the loan; the Insured must be living;
                         and the resulting contract debt must not be more than
                         the loan value.

                         If there is already contract debt when you borrow from
                         us, we will add the new amount you borrow to that debt.

       INTEREST CHARGE   We will charge interest daily on any loan. Interest is
                         due on each contract anniversary, or when the loan is
                         paid back, whichever comes first. If interest is not
                         paid when due, it becomes part of the loan. Then we
                         start to charge interest on it, too. Except as stated
                         below, we charge interest at an effective annual rate
                         shown under Loan Interest Rate in the contract data
                         pages.

        PREFERRED LOAN   Unless you ask us otherwise, a portion of the amount
                         you may borrow on or after the 10th contract
                         anniversary will be considered a Preferred Loan up to
                         an amount equal to the maximum preferred loan amount
                         described below. Preferred Loans are charged interest
                         at an effective annual rate shown under Preferred Loan
                         Interest Rate in the contract data pages.

     MAXIMUM PREFERRED   The maximum preferred loan amount available starting on
           LOAN AMOUNT   the 10th contract anniversary is (A) minus (B), where
                         (A) is the total amount you may borrow, and (B) is the
                         total premiums paid less total withdrawals, if any. If
                         (B) is less than zero, we will consider it to be zero.

    EFFECT ON CONTRACT   When you take a loan, the amount of the loan continues
                  FUND   to be a part of the contract fund and is credited with
                         interest at an effective rate of 4% a year.

                         We will reduce the portion of the contract fund
                         allocated to the variable investment options by the
                         amount you borrow, and by loan interest that becomes
                         part of the loan if it is not paid when due.

                         We will take any loan proportionately from all variable
                         investment options that apply to the contract unless
                         you ask us otherwise.

                         On each monthly date, if there is a contract loan
                         outstanding, we will increase the portion of the
                         contract fund in the variable investment options by
                         interest credits accrued on the loan since the last
                         monthly date. When you repay all or part of a loan, we
                         will increase the portion of the contract fund in the
                         variable investment options by the amount of that
                         repayment plus the interest credits accrued on the loan
                         since the last transaction date. To do this, we will
                         use your investment allocation for future premium
                         payments on file as of the loan payment date. We will
                         also decrease the portion of the contract fund on which
                         we credit the guaranteed interest rate of 4% a year by
                         the amount of loan you repay.

                         We will not increase the portion of the contract fund
                         allocated to the variable investment options by loan
                         interest that is paid before we make it part of the
                         loan. We reserve the right to change the manner in
                         which we allocate loan repayments. If we make such a
                         change, we will do so for all contracts like this one.
                         We will send you notice of any change.

                         GENERAL PROVISIONS

         ANNUAL REPORT   At least once each contract year we will send you a
                         report. It will show: the death benefit; the amount of
                         the contract fund in each variable investment option;
                         the net cash value; any contract debt and the interest
                         rate we are charging; premiums paid, investment
                         results, charges deducted, and withdrawals taken since
                         the last report. The report may also show any other
                         data that may be required where this contract is
                         delivered.

      PAYMENT OF DEATH   If we settle the contract in one sum as a death claim
                 CLAIM   we will usually pay the proceeds within seven days
                         after we receive at our Home Office proof of the
                         Insured's death and any other information we need to
                         pay the claim. But we have the right to postpone paying
                         the part of the proceeds that is to come from a
                         variable investment option provided by a separate
                         account registered under the Investment Company Act of
                         1940 if: (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or
                         (2) the SEC requires that trading be restricted or
                         declares an emergency.

              CURRENCY   Any money we pay, or that is paid to us, must be in
                         United States currency. Any amount we owe will be
                         payable at our Corporate Office.

       MISSTATEMENT OF   If the Insured's stated age or sex or both are not
            AGE OR SEX   correct, we will change each benefit and any amount to
                         be paid to what the most recent deductions from the
                         contract fund would have provided at the Insured's
                         correct age and sex.

            ASSIGNMENT   We will not be deemed to know of an assignment unless
                         we receive it, or a copy of it, at our Home Office. We
                         are not obliged to see that an assignment is valid or
                         sufficient. This contract may not be assigned to any
                         employee benefit plan or program without our consent.
                         This contract may not be assigned if such assignment
                         would violate any federal, state, or local law or
                         regulation prohibiting sex distinct rates for
                         insurance.

        CHANGE IN PLAN   You may be able to have this contract changed to
                         another plan of life insurance. Any change may be made
                         only if we consent, and will be subject to conditions
                         and charges that are then determined.

    FACTORS SUBJECT TO   Charges deducted from premium payments and the contract
                CHANGE   fund may change from time to time, subject to the
                         maximums shown in the contract data pages. In deciding
                         whether to change any of these charges, we will
                         periodically consider factors such as mortality,
                         persistency, expenses, taxes and interest and/or
                         investment experience to see if a change in our
                         assumptions is needed. Changes in factors will be by
                         class.

     NON-PARTICIPATING   This contract will not share in our profits or surplus
                         earnings. We will pay no dividends on it.

    APPLICABLE TAX LAW   This contract has been designed to satisfy the
                         definition of life insurance for Federal income tax
                         purposes under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue
                         Code of 1986, as amended. We reserve the right,
                         however, to decline any change we determine would cause
                         this contract to fail to qualify as life insurance
                         under the applicable tax law. This includes, but is not
                         limited to, changing the basic insurance amount,
                         withdrawals, and changing the type of death benefit. We
                         have the right to change this contract, to require
                         additional premium payments, or to make distributions
                         from this contract to the extent necessary to continue
                         to qualify this contract as life insurance. We also
                         have the right to refuse to accept a premium payment
                         that would in our opinion cause this contract to fail
                         to qualify as life insurance under applicable tax law.

                         SETTLEMENT OPTIONS

     OPTIONS DESCRIBED   You may choose to have the proceeds (that is, any death
                         benefit or any amount payable upon surrender of the
                         contract) paid in a single sum or under one of the
                         optional modes of settlement described below.

                         If the person who is to receive the proceeds of this
                         contract wishes to take advantage of one of these
                         optional modes, we will furnish, on request, details of
                         the options we describe below or any others we may have
                         available at the time the proceeds become payable.

 OPTION 1 (INSTALLMENTS  We will make equal payments for up to 25 years. The
   FOR A FIXED PERIOD)   Option 1 Table shows the minimum amounts we will pay.

OPTION 2 (LIFE INCOME)   We will make equal monthly payments for as long as the
                         person on whose life the settlement is based lives,
                         with payments certain for 120 months or until the sum
                         of the payments equals the amount put under this
                         option. The Option 2 Table shows the minimum amounts we
                         will pay. But, we must have proof of the date of birth
                         of the person on whose life the settlement is based.
                         The settlement will share in our surplus to the extent
                         and in the way we decide.

    OPTION 3 (INTEREST   We will hold an amount at interest. We will pay the
              PAYMENT)   interest annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or
                         monthly.

 OPTION 4 (INSTALLMENTS  We will make equal annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or
    OF A FIXED AMOUNT)   monthly payments for as long as the available proceeds
                         provide.

        OPTION 5 (NON-   We will make payments like those of any annuity we then
 PARTICIPATING INCOME)   regularly issue that: (1) is based on United States
                         currency; (2) is bought by a single sum; (3) does not
                         provide for dividends; and (4) does not normally
                         provide for deferral of the first payment. Each payment
                         will be at least equal to what we would pay under that
                         kind of annuity with its first payment due on its
                         contract date. If a life income is chosen, we must have
                         proof of the date of birth of any person on whose life
                         the option is based. Option 5 cannot be chosen more
                         than 30 days before the due date of the first payment.

         INTEREST RATE   Payments under Options 1 and 4 will be calculated
                         assuming an effective interest rate of at least 3-1/2%
                         a year. Under Option 3 it will be at an effective rate
                         of at least 3% a year.
