      TERMS AND CONDITIONS

================================================================================

      The words "I" and "my" refer to the primary proposed insured and
      policyowner or applicant, if other than the primary proposed insured. The
      word "Company" refers to the company checked at the beginning of this
      application.

      Unless I have specified a policy date or special payment plan (e.g.,
      government allotment, payroll budget) in this application, I understand
      that if the initial premium is not paid with this request for coverage,
      the policy will become effective when all of the following conditions are
      met:

        o  the policy is issued, delivered and I accept it,

        o  the health of all persons proposed for insurance remains as stated in
           the application and

        o  the first premium is paid in full and the check or other form of
           payment is good and can be collected.

      If the Company enters any change in section J, I approve the change by
      accepting the policy unless the law requires written consent to changes.
      No Company representative can make or change a policy, or waive any of the
      Company's rights or requirements.

      The Company will pay the beneficiary named in the application (or in the
      policy if requesting a policy change and no beneficiary has been named in
      the application) any applicable insurance benefit either at the death of
      the primary insured or at the death of an insured child after the death of
      the primary insured if there is no insured spouse.

      For policy changes, the existing policyowner and beneficiary designation
      will be used unless a new policyowner or beneficiary designation is
      provided in this application.

      The policyowner is either the primary proposed insured or the applicant
      unless a different policyowner is named in the application. This is
      subject to any provisions for the automatic transfer of ownership stated
      in the policy.

      If joint policyowners are named, in the event of the death of one
      policyowner, the survivor(s) shall be the policyowner(s), unless otherwise
      specified.

         complete, true and correctly recorded.

      o  Except for failure to pay premium or fraud, the Company will not
         contest the validity of this policy or change request after it has been
         in force during the insured's lifetime for two years from the date it
         takes effect.

      o  I will inform the Company of any changes in my or any proposed

         any answers on this application, prior to or upon delivery of this

         prospectus for the policy. I understand that the policy's value and
         death benefit may vary depending on the policy's investment experience.
