                             CHILDRENS BENEFIT RIDER

This extra benefit rider, attached to and made a part of the policy, provides as
described below, term insurance on each insured dependent child of the Insured.

While this rider and policy remain in force, we agree:
1.    To pay the amount of insurance provided by this rider to the beneficiary
      when we receive due proof of the death of an insured dependent child of
      the Insured on or before the expiry date of this rider.
2.    To continue this rider in force until the Expiry Date without any further
      premiums being paid when we receive due proof of the death of the Insured.


INSURED
The Insured is the person shown as the Insured on page 3 of the policy.


DEPENDENT CHILD
A dependent child is a child, stepchild, or legally adopted child of the
Insured. A child is not a dependent child prior to becoming 14 days old.

To become an insured dependent child at the time of application, a dependent
child must:

1.    Be named in the application for this rider, unless specifically excluded;
2.    Be under 18 years old on the date of the application; and
3.    Receive principal support from the Insured.

To become an insured dependent child after the date of the application, a child
must:

1.    Become a dependent child after the date of the application;
2.    Be under 18 years old on the date the child becomes a dependent child;
3.    Receive principal support from the Insured;
4.    Provide evidence of insurability if the child is a stepchild of the
      Insured; and
5.    Provide evidence of insurability, if at the time of application for this
      rider that child was specifically excluded.


EXPIRY DATE
The expiry date of this rider is the policy anniversary after every insured
dependent child has reached his or her 25th birthday.

AMOUNT OF INSURANCE
We will pay a death benefit to the beneficiary upon our receipt of due proof of
the death of any insured dependent child of the Insured. The amount of death
benefit with respect to each insured dependent child is

$1,000 per unit multiplied by the number of units shown on page 3. After one
rider year, the Insured, upon completion of a new application, may increase the
death benefit of an insured dependent child. Any increase will be subject to our
underwriting requirements as well as the Incontestability provision of this
rider.


OWNERSHIP
Unless the Insured requests otherwise, the following ownership arrangement will
apply:

1.    You, the Insured, are the owner of this rider.
2.    Upon your death, the insurance on each insured dependent child will be
      owned by your spouse at the time of your death if that child had been born
      to, or legally adopted by that spouse.
3.    If you have died and if any requirement of 2 above is not met with respect
      to an insured dependent child, the insurance on that insured dependent
      child will be owned by that child.


BENEFICIARY
Unless the Insured requests otherwise, the beneficiary arrangement of this rider
will be as follows:
1.    The Insured, if living.
2.    If the Insured is not living, the beneficiary of the insurance on each
      insured dependent child will be the Insured's spouse at the time of the
      Insured's death if that insured dependent child had been born to, or
      legally adopted by that spouse.
3.    If the Insured is not living and if any requirement of 2 above is not met
      with respect to an insured dependent child, the beneficiary of the
      insurance on that insured dependent child will be that child's estate.


REINSTATEMENT
If this rider lapses, the Insured may reinstate it at any time during his
lifetime by submitting the following items:
1.    A written application for reinstatement.
2.    Evidence of insurability satisfactory to us for the Insured and each
      dependent child.
3.    Overdue premiums with interest as provided by the policy.

You must also reinstate the policy at the time you reinstate this rider.


PAID-UP INSURANCE UPON DEATH OF INSURED
Upon the death of the Insured while this policy is in force other than under a
Nonforfeiture Option, any insurance provided by this rider shall become paid-up
term insurance for the unexpired period.

rider be included. "Page 3" means page 3 of the policy.

This rider is issued in consideration of the application and the payment of
premiums as provided. The amount of premium and the premium-paying period for
