Rider: Guaranteed Death Benefit

The Policy to which this Rider is attached is issued by the Company subject to
the provisions of this Rider.

NO LAPSE GUARANTEE BENEFIT
On the first day of each policy month until age 100 of the younger Insured the
Company will determine if the No Lapse Guarantee Benefit (called "the Benefit")
is in effect. If the Benefit is in effect, the Policy will not lapse even if the
Net Cash Value of the Policy on the first day of the policy month is not enough
to cover the full Monthly Deduction for that month.

The Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium is shown in the Policy Schedule. This
Premium will be recalculated when: the Face Amount is decreased; the amount
provided by riders attached to the Policy is increased or decreased; a partial
surrender which results in a decrease in Face Amount is made; a correction is
made in the insurance age of either Insured; or the underwriting class of the
Policy and its riders is changed to a more favorable underwriting class. When
this Premium is recalculated: the new Premium will be shown in Section 1 of the
Policy; and a new Guaranteed Death Benefit Fund Table will be sent to you.

The Benefit will be in effect if (a) is equal to or greater than (b) where: (a)
equals the total of the premiums paid to date; less every partial surrender made
to date; less any Cash Value paid to you to allow the Policy to continue to
qualify as life insurance; less the Policy Loan Balance; and (b) equals the sum
of: the Guaranteed Death Benefit Fund value for the prior year (shown in the
attached Table) plus 1/12 of the Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium shown in
Section 1; times one plus the number of completed policy months in the current
policy year.

If the Benefit is not in effect, the amount of premium required to put the
Benefit in force is (a) minus (b) where: (a) equals the sum of: the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Fund value for the prior year (shown in the attached Table) plus
1/12 of the Guaranteed Death Benefit Premium shown in Section 1; times one plus
the number of completed policy months in the current policy year; and (b) equals
the total amount of premium which has already been paid into the Policy; less
every partial surrender made to date; less any Cash Value paid to you to allow
the Policy to continue to qualify as life insurance; less the Policy Loan
Balance.

GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT
If the Last Death occurs prior to age 100 of the younger Insured, the Death
Benefit of the Policy will be based on the Death Benefit Option in effect on the
date of death.

If the Last Death occurs on or after age 100 of the younger Insured and the
Benefit was in effect at age 100 of the younger Insured, the Death Benefit will
equal the greater of: the Cash Value on the date of the Last Death; and the Face
Amount of the Policy.

If the Last Death occurs on or after age 100 of the younger Insured and the
Benefit was not in effect at age 100 of the younger Insured, the Death Benefit
will equal: the Cash Value on the date of the Last Death; or, if the Policy has
an Expanded Death Benefit Rider, the smallest Face Amount that has been in
effect since the younger Insured's age 80, or since the Policy Date if the
younger Insured was older than age 80 on that Date if greater.

COST OF RIDER
Whether or not the Benefit is in effect, the cost for this Rider is charged as
part of the Monthly Deductions. The monthly premium for this Rider is shown on
the Policy Schedule page.

CONTRACT
This Rider is made part of the Policy to which it is attached if the Rider is
listed in the Policy Schedule. (See Section 1 of the Policy.) This Rider has no
cash value.

TERMINATION
This Rider will terminate upon the earliest of:

*    A change in Death Benefit Option;
*    Addition of a Survivorship Level Term Insurance Rider with Outside Term;
*    A change from Inside Term to Outside Term if a Survivorship Level Term
     Insurance Rider is attached to the Policy;
*    Termination of the Policy;
*    The Last Death; or
*    Receipt by the Company at its Home Office of written election signed by the
     Owner of the Policy to terminate the Rider.

Rider: Benefits for Disability of Covered Insured


THE COMPANY agrees to provide Premium Benefits for the Policy and to waive the
cost of this Rider on receipt of proof that total disability of a Covered
Insured (see Section 1):

*    Started while this Rider was in force; and
*    Has continued for at least six months.

If there are two Covered Insureds under this Rider and both are totally
disabled, only one benefit under the Rider will be paid.

DEFINITIONS
"Total disability" means disability of a Covered Insured:

*    Which results from sickness or accidental bodily injury; and
*    Which continuously prevents the Covered Insured from working for pay or
     profit.

During the first 36 months of disability, "working" means engaging in the
occupation which was the regular occupation of that Insured when total
disability started; and thereafter means engaging in any occupation for which
that Covered Insured is or becomes fit by education, training or experience.

Total disability may be the result of a sickness which began or an injury which
occurred either before or after this Rider was issued.

"Working for pay or profit" includes attending school or college as a full time
student, if that was the main occupation of the Covered Insured when the
disability started.

Total disability will be presumed if, as the result of a sickness or an
accidental bodily injury, the Covered Insured has a total loss, which begins
while this Rider is in force, of:

*    Speech; or sight in both eyes; or hearing in both ears; or
*    Use of both hands; or use of both feet; or use of one hand and one foot.

Total disability will be presumed as long as the loss continues, even if the
Covered Insured is working for pay or profit.

EXCLUSION
This Rider does not provide benefits for total disability which results from a
sickness or an injury caused by war or an act of war after the Date of Issue of
this Rider.


BENEFITS
After total disability of a Covered Insured has continued for at least six
months, Premium Benefits will be provided and the cost of this Rider will be
waived for the period:

*    Which starts on the first day of the policy month in which total disability
     started; and
*    Which ends at the end of the second full policy month after total
     disability ends.

No benefits will be provided beyond the policy anniversary on which that
disabled Covered Insured is age 65, unless: total disability of that Covered
Insured has been continuous for the full five year period which ends on that
anniversary; or another Insured is a Covered Insured under this Rider and
qualifies for benefits under this Rider.

Benefits will not be provided for any period more than one year before proof of
total disability for that Covered Insured is received by the Company at its Home
Office.

When the Company approves a claim, the amount of all Net Premium Benefits will
be added to the Cash Value based on the premium allocation in effect on the date
the claim is approved. When a claim is approved, the amount of all costs for
this Rider made as part of the Monthly Deduction after the start of total
disability but before the Company approves the claim under this Rider will be
added by the Company to the Cash Value based on the premium allocation in effect
on the date the claim is approved.

The Policy to which this Rider is attached is intended to qualify as a flexible
premium adjustable life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code or
any interpretive regulation or rulings by the Internal Revenue Service. To that
end, premiums on the Policy are limited to an amount no greater than that
allowing the Policy to continue to qualify. Therefore, the portion of any
Premium Benefit that would disqualify the Policy will be paid to you in cash.

AMOUNT OF PREMIUM BENEFIT
The amount of the Premium Benefit will be one-twelfth of the Specified Amount
for the Rider shown in the Policy as issued or later endorsed.


NEL-51                                                               (Continued)
   14
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AMOUNT OF NET PREMIUM BENEFIT
The amount of the Net Premium Benefit is equal to: the Premium Benefit; less no
more than the Maximum Premium Expense Charge at the rates shown in Section 1 of
the Policy.

PROOF OF DISABILITY
Proof of total disability must be furnished:

*    During the life of a disabled Covered Insured; and
*    During the period of total disability; and
*    Not more than one year after: (a) the date total disability started; or (b)
     the policy anniversary on which that Covered Insured is age 65; or (c) the
     surrender or maturity of the Policy.

The Company has the right to require proof that total disability continues to
exist. This right will be exercised at reasonable times; but after total
disability of that Covered Insured has continued for two years, proof will not
be required more often than once a year.

Failure to furnish proof of total disability within the time required will not
void or reduce a claim for benefits if it is shown that: o It was not reasonably
possible to furnish proof within that time; and o Proof was furnished as soon as
reasonably possible.

PREMIUMS FOR THIS RIDER
Premiums for this Rider are charged as part of the monthly deductions. The
factors for calculating the premiums for the Rider are shown in the Table of
Premium Factors for Benefits for Disability of Covered Insured Rider.

DATE OF ISSUE
The Date of Issue of this Rider is the same as the Date of Issue of the Policy
unless a later Date of Issue is shown for the Rider in the Policy Schedule. The
effective date of this Rider is its Date of Issue.


NOT CONTESTABLE AFTER TWO YEARS
With respect to statements made in the Application, this Rider will not be
contestable after it has been in force, for statements regarding a Covered
Insured, during the life of that Covered Insured, and without the occurrence of
total disability of that Covered Insured for two years from its Date of Issue.

CONTRACT A copy of the application for this Rider is attached to and made a part
of the Rider. This Rider is made a part of the Policy to which it is attached if
the Rider is listed in the Policy Schedule.

TERMINATION
This Rider will terminate upon the earliest of:

*    Termination of the Policy;
*    Death of the Covered Insureds;
*    Receipt of the Company at its Home Office of written election signed by the
     Owner of the Policy to terminate the Rider; and
*    Addition of a Waiver of Monthly Deductions - Disability of Insured Rider to
     the Policy.

Rider: Survivorship Level Term Insurance


THE COMPANY agrees that if the Last Death occurs while this Rider is in force,
the amount of Level Term Insurance (called "Term Amount") will be paid as part
of the Policy's Death Benefit if you choose Inside Term (see below); or
otherwise, will be added to the policy proceeds.

When you apply for this Rider, you can choose:

*    To have the Term Amount of the Rider added to the Face Amount of the Policy
     for purposes of calculating the Death Benefit (called "Inside Term"); or
*    To not have the Term Amount of the Rider added to the Face Amount of the
     Policy for purposes of calculating the Death Benefit (called "Outside
     Term").

With the consent of the Company, you can change your choice at any time.
Evidence of insurability will be required to change from Inside Term to Outside
Term.

COST OF RIDER
The cost for this Rider is charged as part of the Monthly Deductions. The rates
will be set by the Company each year on the policy anniversary based on the
expectations of the Company as to future experience. The rates for the Rider
will never be more than the rates shown in the Table of Guaranteed Monthly
Insurance Rates Per $1,000 of Survivorship Level Term Insurance.

DECREASE IN TERM AMOUNT
After the first policy year, the Term Amount can be decreased on the first day
of any policy month by written application to the Company; but only if the Term
Amount which will remain after a decrease is at least $10,000, except with the
consent of the Company. A decrease in Term Amount will be effective on the
Adjustment Date shown in the new Policy Schedule.


ADJUSTMENT OF THE POLICY
The Policy Schedule must reflect a decrease in the Term Amount. The new Policy
Schedule and the Application for the adjustment will be made part of the Policy
when the Company, at its option:

*    Sends you a new Policy Schedule and a copy of the Application for the
     adjustment for you to attach to the Policy; or
*    Requires that the Policy be returned to have the new Policy Schedule and a
     copy of the Application for the adjustment attached to the Policy by
     the Company; or
*    Sends you an adjusted policy to take the place of this Policy.

Upon adjustment, the Policy will be in force only as adjusted.

EXCHANGE OPTION
If Outside Term is in effect, you can, before the policy anniversary on which
the older Insured is 85, exchange any portion of the insurance then in force
under this Rider for a new Policy:

*    If the ages of the Insureds meet the Company's issue age requirements on
     the Policy Date of the new policy;
*    If the Company's underwriting class requirements on the Policy Date of the
     new policy can be met; and
*    If both Insureds under this Rider are living on the Date of Issue of the
     new policy.

The new policy will be issued:

*    Without proof that the Insureds are insurable;
*    With a Face Amount equal to the amount of term insurance being exchanged;
*    With the same Insureds as this Rider;
*    Based on the actual underwriting class to which each Insured was assigned
     by the Company on the Date of Issue of this Rider;



NEL-58                                                               (Continued)
   17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


*    On any plan of Variable Survivorship Life insurance with a level face
     amount issued by the Company on the Policy Date of the new policy;
*    On a policy form and at rates in use by the Company on the Policy Date of
     the new policy;
*    With a current Policy Date and current insurance ages of Insureds; and
*    Subject to any assignments and limitations to which this Rider is subject,
     and to the exchange cost described below.

The exchange can be made only with the consent of the Company if:

*    The amount of term insurance you want to exchange is less than the
     Company's published minimum limits of issue; or
*    Any rider is to be attached to the new policy.

The Contestable and Suicide periods of the new policy will be measured from the
Date of Issue of this Rider.

EXCHANGE COST
The exchange is subject to payment of the first premium for the new policy.

DATE OF ISSUE
The Date of Issue of this Rider is the same as the Date of Issue of the Policy
unless a later Date of Issue is shown for the Rider in the Policy Schedule.
Rider years will coincide with policy years. If this Rider is issued after the
Date of Issue of the Policy, the first rider year will begin on the policy
anniversary on or next following the Date of Issue of the Rider. The term
insurance provided by this Rider will be in force from the Date of Issue of the
Rider. The effective date of this Rider is its Date of Issue.


NOT CONTESTABLE AFTER TWO YEARS
The insurance issued under this Rider will not be contestable after it has been
in force during the life of either Insured for two years from the Date of Issue
of this Rider.

SUICIDE WITHIN TWO YEARS
If either of the Insureds dies by suicide while sane or insane within two years
from the Date of Issue of this Rider: the amount of Level Term Insurance will
not be paid; and the amount payable under the Rider will be limited to the
monthly deductions made to pay for the Rider.

CONTRACT
A copy of the application for this Rider is attached to and made part of the
Rider. This Rider is made a part of the Policy to which it is attached if the
Rider is listed in the Policy Schedule. This Rider has no cash value.

TERMINATION
This Rider will terminate upon the earliest of:

*    Termination of the Policy;
*    Receipt by the Company at its Home Office of written request signed by the
     Owner of the Policy to terminate the Rider; o Exchange of the Level Term
     Insurance for a new policy;

*    Age 100 of the younger Insured.

Rider: Waiver of Monthly Deductions - Disability of Insured


THE COMPANY agrees to waive the monthly deductions for the Policy and all Riders
on receipt of proof that total disability of the Insured:

*    Started while this Rider was in force; and
*    Has continued for at least six months.

DEFINITIONS
"Total disability" means disability of the Insured:

*    Which results from sickness or accidental bodily injury; and
*    Which continuously prevents the Insured from working for pay or profit.

During the first 36 months of disability, "working" means engaging in the
occupation which was the regular occupation of the Insured when total disability
started; and thereafter means engaging in any occupation for which the Insured
is or becomes fit by education, training or experience.

Total disability may be the result of a sickness which began or an injury which
occurred either before or after this Rider was issued.

"Working for pay or profit" includes attending school or college as a full time
student, if that was the main occupation of the Insured when the disability
started.

Total disability will be presumed if, as the result of a sickness or an
accidental bodily injury, the Insured has a total loss, which begins while this
Rider is in force, of:

*    Speech; or sight in both eyes; or hearing in both ears; or
*    Use of both hands; or use of both feet; or use of one hand and one foot.

Total disability will be presumed as long as the loss continues, even if the
Insured is working for pay or profit.


Insured:

EXCLUSION
This Rider does not provide benefits for total disability which results from a
sickness or an injury caused by war or an act of war after the Date of Issue of
this Rider.

MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS TO BE WAIVED

After total disability has continued for at least six months, monthly deductions
will be waived for the period:

*    Which  starts  on the  first  day of the  policy  month  in  which  total
     disability started; and
*    Which ends at the end of the second full policy month after total
     disability ends.

No monthly deductions will be waived beyond the policy anniversary on which the
Insured is age 65, unless total disability has been continuous for the full five
year period which ends on that anniversary.

Monthly deductions will not be waived for any period more than one year before
proof of total disability is received by the Company at its Home Office.

The amount of all monthly deductions made after the start of total disability
but before the Company approves a claim for waiver will be added to the cash
value by the Company when a claim is approved.


NEV-71                                                               (continued)
   19


PROOF OF DISABILITY
Proof of total disability must be furnished:

*    During the life of the Insured; and
*    During the period of total disability; and
*    Not more than one year after (a) the due date of a premium in default; or
     (b) the policy anniversary on which the Insured is age 65; or (c) the
     surrender or maturity of the Policy.

The Company has the right to require proof that total disability continues to
exist. This right will be exercised at reasonable times; but after total
disability has continued for two years, proof will not be required more often
than once a year.

Failure to furnish proof of total disability within the time required will not
void or reduce a claim for benefits if it is shown that:

*    It was not reasonably possible to furnish proof within that time; and
*    Proof was furnished as soon as reasonably possible.

POLICY BENEFITS
The Policy proceeds will be the same while Monthly Deductions are being waived
as they would be if each Monthly Deduction were paid in cash on the first day of
the policy month.

PREMIUMS FOR THIS RIDER
Premiums for this Rider are charged as part of the monthly deductions. The
factors for calculating the premiums for the Rider are shown in the Table of
Premium Factors for Waiver of Monthly Deductions.

DATE OF ISSUE
The Date of Issue of this Rider is the same as the Date of Issue of the Policy
unless a later Date of Issue is shown for the Rider in the Policy Schedule. The
effective date of this Rider is its Date of Issue.


NOT CONTESTABLE AFTER TWO YEARS
This Rider will not be contestable after it has been in force during the life of
the Insured, and without the occurrence of total disability of the Insured, for
two years from its Date of Issue.

CONTRACT
A copy of the application for this Rider is attached to and made a part of the
Rider. This Rider is made a part of the Policy to which it is attached if the
Rider is listed in the Policy Schedule.

TERMINATION
This Rider will terminate upon the earliest of:
*    Termination of the Policy;
*    Death of the Insured;
*    Receipt of the  Company at its Home  Office of written  election
     signed by the Owner of the Policy to terminate the Rider; and
*    Addition of a Benefit for Disability of Covered Insured Rider to the
     Policy.
