                (Please detach and give to the Proposed Insured)

Thank you for applying to Peoples Benefit Life Insurance Company. We appreciate
your efforts in completing each part of the application truthfully, accurately
and completely.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNDERWRITING
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once we receive your application, we will begin an evaluation process called
underwriting to determine whether you are eligible for insurance and, if so, the
rate you should pay for that insurance. We may find that we are unable to give
you the insurance you have applied for or that we are able to give it to you
only on a modified basis or at a rate greater than our lowest rate. For example,
if you have ever used any kind of tobacco or any other nicotine product you may
not be eligible for our lowest rate. Your application will be our primary source
of information; therefore, it must be true, complete, and accurate. You must
inform us of a change to any answer in any part of your application before
accepting delivery of a policy; in fact, you agree to do so when you sign your
application. We may seek information from other sources to help us evaluate the
information you give us on your application.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTESTABILITY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We strongly urge you to review the completed application closely for accuracy. A
claim may be denied or your coverage may be rescinded or contested by a lawsuit
if the application is incomplete or if it contains false statements,
misrepresentations, acts omissions, or is procured by fraud. If the policy is
rescinded or the lawsuit is successful, the policy will be void and coverage
will be lost. Any policy that is delivered to you will indicate when and under
what circumstances it may be contested as required by law. Please be aware that
if the application contains false or deceptive statements and you submitted it
with the intent to defraud or to facilitate fraud against us, you may also be
guilty of insurance fraud.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING COVERAGE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you intend to replace existing coverage, tell the agent of your intention and
answer "yes" to the replacement question in the application; state law may
require the agent to give you information that will help you compare the policy
you are applying for with the policy you intend to replace. If you are undecided
about keeping existing coverage, indicating an intention to replace existing
coverage may help you get the information you need to make a decision. If you do
replace existing coverage, the new policy may contain new suicide and
contestable periods as required by law. The following would be considered
replacement; you stop paying premiums on an existing policy or surrender an
existing policy before or shortly after applying to us or you borrow from an
existing policy to pay premiums for the insurance for which you are applying.
State law may define replacement to include other situations. Please ask your
agent if you are unsure.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSURANCE INFORMATION PRACTICES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will rely primarily on information provided by you. We may supplement that
information with information from other sources such as medical professionals
who have treated you. In some cases, we may ask a consumer reporting agency to
collect information and submit an investigative consumer report to us as
explained in this Notice under Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. You may
request to be interviewed in connection with the preparation of this report. In
certain limited situations, we are allowed by law to disclose necessary items of
personal information to third parties without your specific authorization. You
have the right to be told about, and to see and copy if you wish, items of
personal information about you that appear in our files, including information
contained in investigative consumer reports. You also have the right to seek
correction of information you believe to be inaccurate. We will send you a more
detailed explanation of our information practices if you send us a written
request. You may send your request to the Director of Underwriting, Peoples
Benefit Life Insurance Company, 4333 Edgewood Road N.E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa
52499.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAIR CREDIT REPORTING PRE-NOTICE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A routine investigative consumer report may possibly be made regarding your
general reputation, character, mode of living, and personal characteristics.
This information may be obtained through personal interviews with your friends,
neighbors and associates. Should you desire additional information on the nature
and scope of such a report, you may write the Underwriting Department, Peoples
Benefit Life Insurance Company, 4333 Edgewood Road N.E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa
52499. You have the right to request additional information concerning the

MIB DISCLOSURE NOTICE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
