DECLARATIONS

I agree that all the statements and answers in this application and any
amendments to it, including any supplements, are true, complete and correctly
recorded. I also agree that this application, any required medical examination,
and any supplement or amendment to either will be part of the policy, issued. If
a premium payment is given in exchange for a Temporary Insurance Agreement
(TIA), the Company will be liable only as set forth in that Agreement. If a
premium payment is not given, then insurance will take effect when a policy is
approved by the Company for issue as applied for, the first full premium is
paid, and the health and insurability of any person proposed for insurance have
not changed since the date of this application. If a policy is issued other than
as applied for, insurance will take effect under the policy only when a policy
issued by the Company is delivered to and accepted by me, the first full premium
is paid, and the health and insurability of any person proposed for insurance
have not changed since the date of this application.

   we issue a policy as applied for. The effective date of the policy issued
   will be determined in accordance with our current policy dating procedures.

                       AUTHORIZATION TO OBTAIN INFORMATION



   I authorize any physician, medical practitioner, hospital, clinic, other
   medical or medically related facility, insurance or reinsuring company, the
   Medical Information Bureau, Inc., consumer reporting agency, or employer
   having information available as to diagnosis, treatment and prognosis with
   respect to any physical or mental condition and/or treatment of me or any
   member of my family included in this policy and any other non-medical
   information of me or any member of my family included in this policy to give
   to Paragon Life Insurance Company or its legal representative, any and all
   such information.

   I understand the information obtained by use of the Authorization will be
   used by Paragon Life Insurance Company to determine eligibility for
   reinstatement of insurance and eligibility for benefits under an existing
   policy. Any information obtained will not be released by Paragon Life
   Insurance Company to any person or organization except to reinsuring
   companies, the Medical Information Bureau, Inc., or other persons or
   organizations performing business or legal services in connection with my
   application, claim, or as may be otherwise lawfully required or as I may
   further authorize.

   I know that I may request to receive a copy of this Authorization. I agree
   that a photographic copy of this Authorization will be as valid as the
   original. I agree this Authorization will be valid for 30 months from the
   date shown below.


   For your protection the laws of several states require the following
   statement:

   Any person who knowingly and with intent to injure, defraud or deceive any
   insurer or other person, files a statement of claim or an application
   containing any materially false, incomplete or misleading information commits
   a fraudulent insurance act, which is considered a crime in many states and
   subjects such person to criminal and civil penalties. Penalties may include
   imprisonment, fines, denial of insurance, and civil damages. In the state of
   Florida such conduct makes a person guilty of a felony of the third degree.

   Any insurance company or agent of an insurance company who knowingly provides
   false, incomplete, or misleading facts or information to a policyholder or
   claimant for the purpose of defrauding or attempting to defraud the
   policyholder or claimant with regard to a settlement or award payable from
   insurance proceeds will be reported to the state agency that regulates
   insurance companies.

1.    This Application Part II, the Life Application Part I, and any amendments
      will be the basis for and will be part of the policy issued;

2.    No agent or medical/paramedical examiner has authority to alter the
      Company's rules or requirements, this Application Part II, or the policy;

3.    If a premium payment was given in exchange for a Temporary Insurance
      Agreement (TIA), the Company will be liable only as set forth in that
