including the right to make a further change of Owner.
If there is more than one owner at a given time, all
must exercise the rights of ownership by joint action.
Ownership may be changed in accordance with the Change
of Owner or Beneficiary provision.
The Owner may be someone other than the Insured and
may be a person, a partnership, a corporation, a
fiduciary or any other legal entity. At the death of
the Owner, his or her estate will be the Owner, unless
a successor Owner has been named. The rights of the
Owner will end at the death of the Insured, except for

the death of the Insured. An irrevocable beneficiary
cannot be changed without his or her consent. The
Beneficiary can be a person, a corporation, a

person must survive the Insured to qualify as
Beneficiary. If none survives, the proceeds will be
paid to the Owner.
Any payment we make will terminate our liability with
respect to such payment.

restrictions as stated in the Owner or Beneficiary
provisions. You must make the change in written form

any assignment of this Policy or other legal
restrictions. It will also be subject to any payment
we made or action we took before we received your
written notice of the change.
ASSIGNMENTS An absolute assignment of the Policy by the Owner is a
change of Owner and Beneficiary to the assignee. A
collateral assignment of the Policy by the Owner is
not a change of Owner or Beneficiary; but their rights
will be subject to the terms of the assignment.
Assignments will be subject to all payments made and
actions taken by us before a signed copy of the
assignment is received by us at our Home Office or any
other office designated by us. We will not be
responsible for determining whether or not an
assignment is valid.

equal shares unless otherwise stated.
In naming Owners or Beneficiaries, unless otherwise
stated:

does not survive the Insured, the share of that
Beneficiary will be taken by his or her living
issue by right of representation; and
3. A family relation such as "wife", "husband" or
"child" means relation to the Insured.
At the time for payment of benefits, the company can
rely on an affidavit of any Owner or other responsible
person to determine family relations or members of a

CLAIMS OF CREDITORS To the extent permitted by law, neither the Policy nor
any payment under it will be subject to the claims of
creditors or to any legal process.
CONVERSION RIGHTS While your Policy is in force, you have a one time
right during the first two policy years to transfer
all of your Cash Value from the Sub-Accounts of
Variable Account to the Fixed Account.
If, at any time during the first two policy years, you
request in writing the transfer of the Cash Value held
in the Sub-Accounts of Variable Account to the Fixed
Account and you indicate that you are making this
transfer in exercise of your conversion rights, the
transfer will not be subject to a transfer charge or
transfer limits, if any. At the time of such transfer,
there will not be any effect on the Policy's Death
Benefit, Face Amount, Net
Amount at Risk, Risk Classification or Issue Age.

its own incontestability clause.

within two years from the Issue Date, the amount
payable will be limited to the amount of premiums
paid; less any outstanding Loan and Loan Interest to
the date of death; and less any partial withdrawals.

4. VARIABLE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
VARIABLE ACCOUNT The variable benefits under this Policy are provided
through investments in the Variable Account. This
account is used for flexible premium variable life
insurance policies and, if permitted by law, may be
used for other policies or contracts as well.
We hold the assets of the Variable Account. These
assets are held separately from the assets held in the
Fixed Account. Income, gains and losses---whether or
not realized---from assets allocated to the Variable
Account will be credited to or charged against the
account without regard to our other income, gains or
losses.
The portion of the assets held by the Variable Account
equal to the reserves and other policy liabilities
with respect to the Variable Account will not be
charged with liabilities that arise from any other
business we may conduct. We have the right to transfer
to our Fixed Account any assets of the Variable
Account which are in excess of the reserves and other
policy liabilities of the Variable Account.
Net Premium allocations and requests for transfers,
future allocation changes, Loans, partial withdrawals,
and surrenders will be effective as of the end of the
Valuation Period during which we receive the premium
payment or the request in a form satisfactory to us.
The Variable Account is registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Variable
Account is also subject to the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which regulate the
operations of insurance companies incorporated in
Massachusetts. The investment policy of the Variable
Account will not be changed without the approval of
the Insurance Commissioner of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The approval process is on file with
the insurance commissioner of the state in which this
Policy was delivered.
SUB-ACCOUNTS The Variable Account has several Sub-Accounts. Each
Sub-Account invests in shares of registered investment
companies or other pools of investment assets.
Income, gains and losses---whether or not
realized---from the assets of each Sub-Account of the
Variable Account are credited to or charged against
that Sub-Account without regard to income, gains or
losses in other Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account
or in the Fixed Account.
We will value the assets of each Sub-Account of the
Variable Account at the end of each Valuation Period.
The values and benefits of a policy depend on: the
investment performance of the portfolios in which the
Sub-Accounts are invested; and the interest
credited to the Fixed Account. We do not guarantee the
investment performance of the portfolios of the
Sub-Accounts. You bear the investment risk for amounts
invested in the Sub-Accounts for your Policy.
TRANSFERS After the Right to Examine Policy period, and if you
have not exercised your conversion rights, you may
transfer amounts as follows:
1. Between the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of
Variable Account; or
2. Among the Sub-Accounts of Variable Account.
These transfers will be subject to the following
conditions:
1. We must receive a request for transfer in a form
acceptable to us.
2. Except with our consent, the number of transfers
in each policy year will be limited to the Maximum
Number of Transfers or Withdrawals shown on the
Policy Specifications page. If we consent to more
than that in a policy year, we may impose a charge
not to exceed the Maximum Processing Charge shown
on the Policy Specifications page.
3. The maximum amount of all transfers and partial
withdrawals from the Fixed Account (the Fixed
Account Maximum) in any policy year will be the
greater of a. and b.
a. The Cash Surrender Value of the Fixed Account
at the beginning of that policy year times the
Fixed Account Maximum Withdrawal Percent
Limit, as shown on the Policy Specifications
page.
b. The previous policy year's Fixed Account
Maximum withdrawal amount.
However, if less than $100 would remain in the
Fixed Account after the transfer, you can
transfer the remainder to the Sub-Accounts of
the Variable Account.
The Fixed Account Cash Value immediately after
any transfer to the Fixed Account cannot
exceed i., below, times ii., below:
i. The Fixed Account Cash Value plus the
Variable Account Cash Value.

ADDITION, DELETION OR We reserve the right, subject to compliance with
SUBSTITUTION OF applicable law, to make additions to, deletions from,
INVESTMENTS or substitutions for the shares of a fund that are
held by the Variable Account or that the Variable
Account may purchase. We reserve the right to
eliminate the shares of any of the funds of this
Policy and to substitute shares of another fund of a
registered investment company if the shares or funds
are no longer available for investment or if in our
judgement, further investment in any fund should
become inappropriate in view of the purpose of the
Policy. We will not substitute any shares
attributable to the Owner's interest in a Sub-Account
of the Variable Account without notice to the Owner
and compliance with the Investment Company Act of
1940. This will not prevent the Variable Account from
purchasing other securities for other series or
classes of policies or from permitting conversion
between series or classes of policies or contracts on
the basis of requests made by owners.
We reserve the right to establish additional
Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account which would
invest in shares of registered investment companies or
other pools of investment assets and to make such
Sub-Accounts available to such class or series of
policies as we deem appropriate. We also reserve the
right to eliminate, close or combine existing
Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account or to transfer
assets between Sub-Accounts.
If we consider it to be in the best interest of
persons having voting rights under the policies, the
Variable Account may be operated as a management
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; it
may be deregistered under that Act in the event
registration is no longer required; it may be combined
with other separate accounts; or its assets may be
transferred to other separate accounts.
5. POLICY BENEFITS
POLICY PROCEEDS The Policy Proceeds are:
1. The Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Option
then in effect; plus
2. The Monthly Cost of Insurance for the portion of
the policy month from the date of death to the end
of the policy month of death; less
3. Any payment due under the Grace Period provision
as of the date of death; less
4. Any Loan and Loan Interest due.
DEFINITION OF LIFE This Policy is intended to qualify as a life insurance
INSURANCE contract under the Internal Revenue Code (called "the
Code") and any interpretive regulation or rulings by
the Internal Revenue Service. The Code provides two
tests to determine whether the Policy meets the
definition of a life insurance contract: the Cash
Value Accumulation Test; and the Guideline Premium
Test. The Test, as chosen in the Application, cannot
be changed. The Table of Corridor Factors shows the
Test chosen for this Policy.
For either Test, the Death Benefit will not be less
than: the Policy's Cash Value; times the applicable
Attained Age Factor as shown on the Table of Corridor
Factors page. If you choose the Cash Value
Accumulation Test, the Table shown on the Table of
Corridor Factors page will be the Table of Net Single
Premium Corridor Factors. If you choose the Guideline
Premium Test, the Table shown on the Table of Corridor
Factors page will be the Table of Guideline Premium
Factors. The Guideline Premium Corridor Factors are
based on the percentages as currently described in
Section 7702(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
DEATH BENEFIT Prior to the Insured's Attained Age 100, the Death
Benefit depends upon the Death Benefit Option in
effect on the date of the Insured's death. The Death
Benefit Option in effect is shown on the Policy
Specifications page or on the Policy Specifications
page for Policy Change, if any.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION A:
The Death Benefit is the greater of:
1. The Face Amount; and
2. The death benefit required by the Cash Value
Accumulation Test or the Guideline Premium Test,
depending on the Definition of Life Insurance Test
chosen at the time of Application for the Policy.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION B:
The Death Benefit is the greater of:
1. The Face Amount plus the Cash Value on the date of
death; and
2. The death benefit required by the Cash Value
Accumulation Test or the Guideline Premium Test,
depending on the Definition of Life Insurance Test
chosen at the time of Application for the Policy.
CONTINUATION OF THE If this Policy is in force on or after the Insured's
POLICY AFTER ATTAINED Attained Age 100 and if the age of the Insured on the
AGE 100 Issue Date is Attained Age 80 or younger, the Death
Benefit will be equal to the greater of:
1. The Cash Value on the date the Policy Proceeds
become payable; and
2. The lesser of: the Face Amount of the Policy as of
the policy anniversary on which the Insured is
Attained Age 100; and the Face Amount of the
Policy on the policy anniversary on which the
Insured is Attained Age 80.
If this Policy is in force on or after the Insured's
Attained Age 100 and if the age of the Insured on the
Issue Date is Attained Age 81 or older, the Death
Benefit will be equal to the Cash Value on the date
the Policy Proceeds become payable.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS POLICY MAY NOT QUALIFY AS A LIFE
INSURANCE CONTRACT UNDER THE CODE ON OR AFTER THE
INSURED'S ATTAINED AGE 100 AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAX
CONSEQUENCES. PLEASE CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR PRIOR TO
CONTINUING THE POLICY BEYOND THE INSURED'S ATTAINED
AGE 100. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT INSURANCE COVERAGE MAY
NOT CONTINUE EVEN IF PLANNED PREMIUMS ARE PAID IN A
TIMELY MANNER.
POLICY CHANGES You may request policy changes at any time unless we
specifically indicate otherwise within this Policy. We
reserve the right to not allow policy changes in the
first policy year and to limit the number of changes
to one per policy year. The types of changes allowed
are explained below.
We will send you a Policy Specifications page for
Policy Change when there is a policy change.
No change will be permitted that would result in this
Policy not satisfying the definition of a life
insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 or any applicable successor provision.

request.
Any requested decrease in Face Amount will be subject
to the following conditions:

the first policy year.
2. The requested decrease will become effective on
the monthly anniversary on or following receipt of
the request at our Home Office or any other office
designated by us.
3. The requested decrease will reduce the Face Amount
in the following order:
a. The Face Amount provided by the most recent
applied for increase;
b. Face Amounts provided by the next most recent

Amount as explained in the Surrender Charge provision.
This Surrender Charge will be allocated among the
Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable
Account in the same proportion that the Cash Value in
the Fixed Account and the Cash Value in each
Sub-Account bears to the total Cash Value of the
Policy less the Cash Value in the Loan Account.
Any requested increase in Face Amount will be subject
to the following conditions:
1. Proof that the Insured is insurable by our
standards on the date of the requested increase
must be submitted.
2. The increase, if approved by us, will become
effective on the monthly anniversary on or
following receipt of the request at our Home

Benefit Option B.
The Face Amount of the Policy, any Supplemental
Coverage Term Rider and any Adjustable Benefit
Term Rider will be decreased, if necessary, to
equal the Death Benefit less the Cash Value on the
effective date of the change. This change may not
be made if it would result in a Face Amount for
the Policy that is less than the Minimum Face
Amount shown on the Policy Specifications page. A
Surrender Charge will apply to any decrease in the
Face Amount of the Policy as explained in the
Surrender Charge provision.
The decrease will reduce the Face Amount in the
following order:

6. PREMIUMS AND GRACE PERIOD
PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS Your first premium is due as of the Policy Date. While
the Insured is living, premiums after the first must
be paid to us at our Home Office or any other office
designated by us. A premium receipt will be furnished
upon request. If this Policy is in your possession and
you have not paid the first premium, it is not in
force. It will be considered that you have the Policy
for inspection only.
After the first premium is paid, premiums may be paid
in any amount and at any interval subject to the
following conditions:
1. Any premium payment must be at least $10.00.
2. If you have selected the Guideline Premium Test
for the Policy, total premiums paid in any policy
year may not exceed an amount that would cause the
Policy to fail the definition of a life insurance
contract as defined by Section 7702 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any applicable
successor provision thereto.
3. No planned premium can be increased if that
increase would cause the Policy to fail the
definition of a life insurance contract as defined
by Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, or any applicable successor provision
thereto at any time.
On any date that we receive a premium which causes the
Death Benefit under any of the Death Benefit Options
to increase by an amount that exceeds that Net Premium
received, we reserve the right to refuse that premium
payment. We may require additional evidence of
insurability before we accept the premium.
Unless you request otherwise in writing to us, any
payment received by us will be used as a premium
payment.
NET PREMIUM The Net Premium is:
1. The premium paid; less
2. The premium paid times the Premium Tax Charge;
less
3. The premium paid times the Federal Tax Charge;
less
4. The premium paid times the Percent of Premium
Charge.
PREMIUM TAX CHARGE A charge will be deducted for premium taxes from each
premium submitted. The Maximum Premium Tax Charge, as
a percent of the premium, is shown on the Policy
Specifications page.
FEDERAL TAX CHARGE A charge will be deducted for federal taxes from each
premium submitted. The Maximum Federal Tax Charge, as
a percent of the premium, is shown on the Policy
Specifications page.
PERCENT OF PREMIUM A charge will be deducted from each premium submitted.
CHARGE The Maximum Percent of Premium Charge is shown on the
Policy Specifications page.
ALLOCATION OF NET You determine the allocation of Net Premiums among the
PREMIUMS Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of Variable
Account. For any chosen allocation the minimum
percentage that may be allocated is 1% of the Net
Premium. Percentages must be in whole numbers. The
total number of accounts (the Fixed Account plus the
Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account) you may have
Cash Value allocated to over the life of the Policy
cannot exceed the Maximum Number of Accounts shown on
the Policy Specifications page. The Fixed Account Cash
Value immediately after payment of the premium cannot
exceed 1., below, times 2., below:
1. The Fixed Account Cash Value plus the Variable
Account Cash Value.
2. The Fixed Account Maximum Allocation Percent as
shown on the Policy Specifications page.
The initial allocation is shown on the Application, a
copy of which is attached. We may modify the Fixed
Account Maximum Allocation Percent at any time.
The Policy's first investment of the Net Premium is
made in the Money Market Sub-Account as of the
Investment Start Date. The Policy's Cash Value will be
transferred, based on your choice, to the Sub-Accounts
and the Fixed Account 15 days after the initial
premium is applied to the Policy. Before this
transfer, the values and benefits of the Policy will
depend on the net investment performance of the Money
Market Sub-Account. After this transfer, each Net
Premium allocated to the Variable Account will be
applied to the Sub-Accounts you chose as of the date
it is received by us at our Home Office or any other
office designated by us.
YOUR RIGHT TO CHANGE If you have not exercised your Conversion Rights, you
ALLOCATION may change the allocation of future Net Premiums among
the Fixed Account and/or the Sub-Accounts of the
Variable Account subject to the conditions outlined in
the Allocation of Net Premiums Provision. The change
in allocation percentages will take effect immediately
upon our receipt of your request in a form acceptable
to us at our Home Office or any other office
designated by us.
NO LAPSE PERIOD If, on a monthly anniversary day prior to the No Lapse
Premium Date, the sum of all premiums paid on this
Policy less:
1. Any partial withdrawals;
2. Any Cash Value paid to you to allow the Policy to
continue to qualify as a life insurance contract;
and
3. Any outstanding Loan and Loan Interest
is greater than or equal to the sum of the No Lapse
Monthly Premiums for each monthly anniversary since
the Policy Date, this Policy will not lapse. The No
Lapse Premium Date and the No Lapse Annual Premium are
shown on the Policy Specifications page. The No Lapse
Monthly Premium is one twelfth of the No Lapse Annual
Premium.
The No Lapse Monthly Premium may change if any of the
following events occur prior to the No Lapse Premium
Date shown on the Policy Specifications page:
1. A change in the Policy's Face Amount;
2. The addition or deletion of or change to a rider
attached to this Policy;
3. A change in the Risk Classification of the Insured;
or
4. A misstatement of age or sex in the Application.
The No Lapse Premium Date will not be changed.
If the Policy lapses, the No Lapse Period will
terminate and cannot be reinstated.
GRACE PERIOD IF, ON A MONTHLY ANNIVERSARY DAY WHILE THE NO LAPSE
PREMIUM PERIOD IS IN EFFECT:
1. The Cash Value less any Loan, Loan Interest due
and any Surrender Charge that would apply upon
surrender whether or not there is a surrender is
insufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction, which
is defined in the Cash Values Section; and
2. The sum of all premiums paid on this Policy,
reduced by any partial withdrawals and any
outstanding Loan and Loan Interest, is less than
the sum of the No Lapse Monthly Premiums for each
monthly anniversary since the Policy Date;
then the Grace Period of 62 days will be allowed for
the payment of a premium sufficient to keep your
Policy in force. Notice of the Amount Due to keep this
Policy in force through the end of the Grace Period
will be sent at the beginning of the Grace Period to
your last known address and to any assignee on record.
The Amount Due is the amount required to satisfy the
No Lapse Premium requirement or an amount sufficient
to cover the Monthly Deduction, whichever is less. If
we do not receive a premium large enough to cover the
Monthly Deduction by the end of the Grace Period, your
Policy will lapse at the end of that 62-day period and
it will then terminate without Cash Surrender Value.
If the Insured dies during the Grace Period, the
Amount Due will be deducted from the Death Benefit.
IF, ON A MONTHLY ANNIVERSARY DAY ON OR AFTER THE NO
LAPSE PREMIUM PERIOD, the Cash Value less any Loan,
Loan Interest due and any Surrender Charge that would
apply upon surrender whether or not there is a
surrender is insufficient to cover the next Monthly
Deduction, a Grace Period of 62 days will be allowed
for the payment of a premium sufficient to pay the
Monthly Deduction.
Notice of the amount of premium required to be paid to
keep this Policy in force through the end of the Grace
Period will be sent at the beginning of the Grace
Period to your last known address and to any assignee
on record. If we do not receive a premium large enough
to cover the Monthly Deduction by the end of the Grace
Period, your Policy will lapse at the end of that
62-day period and it will then terminate without Cash
Surrender Value. If the Insured dies during the Grace
Period, any past due Monthly Deductions will be
deducted from the Death Benefit.
REINSTATEMENT You may reinstate your lapsed Policy within three
years after the date of lapse. This must be done prior
to the Insured's Attained Age 100. The Policy cannot
be reinstated, except with our consent, if more than
three years have passed since the date of lapse. The
Policy cannot be reinstated if it has been
surrendered. To reinstate, you must submit the
following items:
1. A written application for Reinstatement.
2. Proof satisfactory to us that the Insured is
insurable by our standards.
3. Payment of a premium large enough to keep the
Policy in force for at least three months.
Upon Reinstatement, we will deduct any Monthly
Deductions and Loan Interest due and unpaid at the
time of lapse. The Insured must be alive on the date
we approve the request for Reinstatement. If the
Insured is not alive, such approval is void and of no
effect.
The reinstated policy will be in force from the date
we approve the Reinstatement application.
Any Loan may be repaid or reinstated. Any Loan
reinstated will cause Cash Value of an equal amount to
be reinstated.
Any Loan repaid at the time of Reinstatement will
cause an increase in Cash Value equal to the amount of
the repaid Loan.
The Maximum Asset Charge Percentage, the Maximum
Monthly Policy Charge, the Maximum Monthly
Administration and Issue Expense Charge and the
Maximum Surrender Charge at the time of Reinstatement
will be those in effect at the time of lapse. If only
a portion of the coverage is reinstated then only the
applicable portion of the Maximum Monthly
Administration and Issue Expense Charge and Maximum
Surrender Charge will be reinstated. If only a portion
of the coverage is reinstated, the Cash Value
following Reinstatement will be increased by a
proportionate amount of the Surrender Charge imposed
at the time of lapse.
If only a portion of the coverage is reinstated then
only a portion of any rider amounts attached to this
Policy may also be reinstated.
The No Lapse Period will not be applicable upon
Reinstatement of the Policy.
Riders can be reinstated only as stated in the rider
or with our consent.
7. LOANS
LOANS Upon written request to us, you may borrow an amount
not in excess of the Loan Value of your Policy while
it is in force. The amount of your net loan request at
any one time must be at least the Minimum Loan and
Withdrawal Amount shown on the Policy Specifications
page. Your Policy will be the sole security for such
Loan.
The Loan Value is the Cash Value of your Policy at the
date of the loan request plus interest to the next
policy anniversary at the Fixed Account Cash Value
Guaranteed Interest Rate, shown on the Policy
Specifications page, reduced by:
1. Any existing Loan; and
2. Loan Interest to the next policy anniversary; and
3. The amount of the last Monthly Deduction processed
times the number of policy months to the earliest
of: the next planned premium due date; and the
next policy anniversary, and
4. Any Surrender Charge that would apply upon
surrender whether or not there is a surrender.
You may allocate the Loan among the Fixed Account and
the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. If you do
not specify the allocation, then the Loan will be
allocated among the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts
of the Variable Account in the same proportion that
the Cash Value in the Fixed Account, and the Cash
Value in each Sub-Account bears to the total Cash
Value of the Policy less the Cash Value in the Loan
Account, on the date of the Loan.
Cash Value equal to the Loan allocated to the Fixed
Account and each Sub-Account of the Variable Account
will be transferred to the Loan Account, reducing the
Cash Value accordingly. The transferred Cash Value:
will be allocated to the appropriate Loan SubAccount;
and will earn interest at the Fixed Account Cash Value
Guaranteed Interest Rate shown on the Policy
Specifications page. Interest earned on the Cash Value
in the Loan Account will remain in the Loan Account
until: a loan repayment is received by us; a new Loan
is made; the Policy enters the Grace Period; or the
next policy anniversary. Upon each of these events,
the interest earned on the Loan Account will be
transferred to the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts
of Variable Account in the same proportion that the
Cash Value in the Loan Account bears to the Cash Value
allocated to each Loan SubAccount.
LOAN INTEREST DUE The accrued Loan Interest will be due the earliest of:
DATE
1. The next policy anniversary date;
2. The date of termination of the Policy;
3. The date the Loan is repaid in full; and
4. The date the Loan plus Loan Interest accrued
exceeds the Cash Value less any Surrender Charge
that would apply upon surrender whether or not
there is a surrender.
Loan Interest will be payable annually on each policy
anniversary. If you do not pay the Loan Interest when
it is due on a policy anniversary: an amount of Cash
Value equal to the Loan Interest will be added to the
Loan; interest will be charged on it; and it will be
allocated to the appropriate Loan SubAccount. The
amount transferred will be deducted from the Fixed
Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account
in the same proportion that the Cash Value in the
Fixed Account and the Cash Value in each Sub-Account
bears to the total Cash Value of the Policy less the
Cash Value in the Loan Account.
FIXED LOAN INTEREST Loan Interest will be charged on any Loan. The rate of
RATES interest will not exceed the Maximum Loan Interest
Rate shown on the Policy Specifications page. Loan
Interest is payable in arrears.
LOAN REPAYMENTS You may repay your Loan in whole or in part at any
time before the death of the Insured while the Policy
is in force. When a loan repayment is made, Cash Value
securing the debt in the Loan Account equal to the
loan repayment will be repaid to the Fixed Account and
the Sub-Accounts of Variable Account in the same
proportion that the Cash Value in the Loan Account
bears to the Cash Value in each Loan SubAccount.
Unpaid Loan and Loan Interest will be deducted from
any settlement of your Policy.
If you fail to make repayments when the total Loan and
Loan Interest due would exceed the Cash Value, less
any Surrender Charge that would apply upon surrender
whether or not there is a surrender, (called "excess
Loan") your Policy will terminate. We will allow you a
Grace Period for payment of the amount of the excess
due. In such event the Policy becomes void at the end
of the Grace Period. We will mail notice to your last
known address, and that of any assignee of record.
This Grace Period will expire 62 days from the monthly
anniversary immediately before the date of the excess
Loan.
Unless you request otherwise in writing to us, any
payment received by us will be used as a premium
payment.

VARIABLE ACCUMULATION At the end of a Valuation Date, the current market
UNITS value of a Sub-Account is determined by multiplying
that Sub-Account's accumulation unit value times the
number of Sub-Account units held under this Policy.
The number of Sub-Account accumulation units will
increase when:

taxes, including any tax or other economic burden
resulting from the application of tax laws that we
determine to be properly attributable to the
Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account, or any
amount we set aside during the Valuation Period as
a reserve for taxes attributable to the operation
or maintenance of each Sub-Account; divided by

to cover the Loan Interest if not paid by you;
less
5. Any amount transferred from the Loan Account to
the Fixed Account on that day; less
6. Any amount transferred from the Loan Account to
the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account on that
day.
MONTHLY COST OF The Monthly Cost of Insurance for the following month
INSURANCE is charged as part of the Monthly Deduction. The
Monthly Cost of Insurance is equal to:
1. The Net Amount at Risk for the initial Face Amount
times the Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate for the
initial Face Amount; plus
2. The Net Amount at Risk for any increase in Face
Amount due to a Death Benefit Option Change times
the Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate for that
increase; plus
3. If you request any increase in your Face Amount,
the Net Amount at Risk for each requested Amount
of Increase times the Monthly Cost of Insurance
rate for each increase in Face Amount.
The Net Amount at Risk for the initial Face Amount,
for each increase in Face Amount due to a Death
Benefit Option Change, and for any requested Amounts
of Increase equals:
1. For Death Benefit Option A:
a. The greater of: the Face Amount of that
coverage divided by the Monthly Discount
Factor shown on the Policy Specifications
page; and the Cash Value (before the deduction
of the Monthly Cost of Insurance) attributable
to that coverage at the beginning of the
policy month times the Attained Age Factor as
shown on the Table of Corridor Factors. The
Cash Value used in this calculation will not
be less than zero; less
b. Any Cash Value (before the deduction of the
Monthly Cost of Insurance) attributable to
that coverage.
2. For Death Benefit Option B:
a. The greater of: the Face Amount for that
coverage divided by the Monthly Discount
Factor shown on the Policy Specifications page
plus the Cash Value (before the deduction of
the Monthly Cost of Insurance) attributable to
that coverage at the beginning of the policy
month; and the Cash Value (before the
deduction of the Monthly Cost of Insurance)
attributable to that coverage at the beginning
of the policy month times the Attained Age
Factor as shown on the Table of Corridor
Factors. The Cash Value used in this
calculation will not be less than zero; less
b. Any Cash Value (before the deduction of the
Monthly Cost of Insurance) attributable to
that coverage.
The Cash Value will be attributed to coverages in the
following order:
1. To the coverage provided by the initial Face
Amount plus any increase in Face Amount due to a
Death Benefit Option change plus all Adjustable
Benefit Term Rider Face Amount increases; then
2. To any Supplemental Coverage Term Rider Face
Amount; and then
3. To all increases in Face Amount in the order they
were effective.
MONTHLY COST OF At the beginning of each policy year, the Monthly Cost
INSURANCE RATES of Insurance rate is determined for the initial Face
Amount and each increase in Face Amount. The Monthly
Cost of Insurance rate is based on the Attained Age,
Risk Classification, Sex and completed policy years
from the Issue Date of the initial Face Amount and
each increase in Face Amount. For the initial Face
Amount, we will use the Risk Classification as of the
Issue Date. For each increase, we will use the Risk
Classification applicable to the increase. If the
Death Benefit equals a percentage of the Cash Value,
any increase in Cash Value will cause an automatic
increase in the Death Benefit. The Risk Classification
for such an increase will be the same as that used for
the most recent increase, excluding any riders that
required proof that the Insured was insurable by our
standards.
The Monthly Cost of Insurance rates will never exceed
the rates shown on the Table of Maximum Monthly Cost
of Insurance Rates page. Any change in the Cost of
Insurance rates will apply to all persons of the same
age, sex, and risk classification whose initial Face
Amounts or increases in Face Amount have been in force
for the same length of time.
MONTHLY An Administration and Issue Expense Charge will be
ADMINISTRATION AND deducted each policy month from the Cash Value as part
ISSUE EXPENSE CHARGE of the Monthly Deduction. This charge equals the
applicable Face Amount times an Administration and
Issue Expense Charge Rate, divided by 1,000. The
Administration and Issue Expense Charge Rate for the
initial Face Amount of the Policy will never exceed
the Maximum Monthly Administration and Issue Expense
Charge Rate shown on the Policy Specifications page
for the initial Face Amount.
An Administration and Issue Expense Charge will also
be applied to any increase in Face Amount. This charge
will never exceed the Maximum Monthly Administration
and Issue Expense Charge Rate shown on the Policy
Specifications page for Policy Change for that
increase. The Administration and Issue Expense Charge
is based on the Insured's Age, Sex and Risk
Classification on the effective date of the initial
Face Amount or any increase in Face Amount.
For the purpose of determining the applicable
Administration and Issue Expense Charge on any date
after Reinstatement, the period the Policy was lapsed
will not count.
MONTHLY POLICY CHARGE A Policy Charge will be deducted each policy month
from the Cash Value as part of the Monthly Deduction.
The amount of the Monthly Policy Charge will never
exceed the amount shown on the Policy Specifications
page.
For the purpose of determining the applicable Monthly
Policy Charge on any date after Reinstatement, the
period the Policy was lapsed will not count.
ASSET CHARGE An Asset Charge will be deducted from the Cash Value
each policy month as part of the Monthly Deduction. A
charge will be calculated on each monthly anniversary
and will not exceed the Maximum Monthly Asset Charge
Percentage shown on the Policy Specifications page
times the Variable Account Cash Value at the beginning
of the current day. If the Cash Value is negative on a
monthly anniversary, the Asset Charge will not be
deducted for that month.
For the purpose of determining the applicable Asset
Charge on any date after Reinstatement, the period the
Policy was lapsed will not count.
REDUCTION OF CHARGES We may reduce or eliminate certain charges. The extent
and nature of reductions may change from time to time.
The charge structure may vary. Variations are
determined in a manner, not unfairly discriminatory to
policy owners, which reflects differences in costs of
services.
MONTHLY DEDUCTION On the first day of each policy month, whether or not
premiums are paid, we will make a Monthly Deduction
for that policy month from the Cash Value of this
Policy.
The Monthly Deduction is:
1. The Monthly Asset Charge; plus
2. The Monthly Administration and Issue Expense
Charge; plus
3. The Monthly Policy Charge; plus
4. The Monthly Cost of Rider, if any, for any rider
included with this Policy; plus
5. The Maximum Face Amount Increase Administration
Charge, if any; plus
6. The Monthly Cost of Insurance.
The Monthly Deduction for a policy month will be
allocated among the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts
of the Variable Account in the same proportion that
the Cash Value in the Fixed Account and the Cash Value
in each Sub-Account bears to the total Cash Value of
the Policy less the Cash Value in the Loan Account on
the monthly anniversary. However, you can choose in
writing, at any time, to have Monthly Deductions
allocated among the Fixed Account or a specific
Sub-Account until the Cash Value in the Policy's
portion of the Fixed Account or that Sub-Account is
insufficient to cover the entire Monthly Deduction;
and then the Fixed Account and the remaining
Sub-Accounts in the same proportion that the Cash
Value in the Fixed Account and the Cash Value in each
Sub-Account bears to the total Cash Value of the
Policy less the Cash Value in the Loan Account on the
monthly anniversary. We will allocate the Monthly
Deduction according to your choice until you request
otherwise in writing to us.
DETERMINATION OF Cost of Insurance Rates, Percent of Premium Charges,
NONGUARANTEED FACTORS Monthly Administration and Issue Expense Charges,
Monthly Policy Charges, Monthly Asset Charges and
interest rates will be determined by us based on
expectations as to future mortality, tax, interest
earnings, expense and persistency experience. We will
not adjust such rates or charges as a means of
recovering prior losses nor as a means of distributing
prior profits.
CASH SURRENDER VALUE The Cash Surrender Value of this Policy is:
1. The Cash Value at the time of surrender; less
2. Any Loan and Loan Interest accrued; less
3. Any Surrender Charge that would apply upon
surrender whether or not there is a surrender.
SURRENDER You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Surrender
Value at any time during the lifetime of the Insured.
We will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the
date we receive your request in a form acceptable to
us at our Home Office or any other office designated
by us. The Cash Surrender
Value will not be reduced by any Monthly Deduction due
on that date for a subsequent policy month. Any unused
portion of the Monthly Cost of Insurance will be added
to the Cash Surrender Value.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS After the Right to Examine Policy period, upon our
receipt of your request in a form acceptable to us at
our Home Office or any other office designated by us,
you can make a partial withdrawal of cash subject to
the conditions listed below. Except with our consent,
the number of partial withdrawals in a policy year
will be limited to the Maximum Number of Transfers or
Withdrawals shown on the Policy Specifications page.
If we consent to more than that in a policy year, we
may impose a charge not to exceed the Maximum
Processing Charge shown on the Policy Specifications
page.
Except with our consent, the amount of your partial
withdrawal request at any one time must be at least
the Minimum Loan and Withdrawal Amount shown on the
Policy Specifications page. We reserve the right to
limit the total amount you may withdraw to 90% of the
Cash Surrender Value of your Policy. (See the
Allocation of Partial Withdrawals, Fixed Account
Partial Withdrawals and Variable Account Partial
Withdrawals provisions below.)
No partial withdrawal will be processed which will
result in the Face Amount, excluding riders, being
decreased below the Minimum Face Amount shown on the
Policy Specifications page.
The Death Benefit of the Policy will be based on the
Face Amount after the partial withdrawal and the
reduced Cash Value. The Face Amount of the Policy will
be decreased, if necessary, such that the amount at
risk after the partial withdrawal is not greater than
the amount at risk before the partial withdrawal. A
Surrender Charge will apply if the Face Amount is
decreased. This Surrender Charge will be allocated
among the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of the
Variable Account in the same proportion that the
partial withdrawal was allocated among the Fixed
Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.
(See Allocation of Partial Withdrawals provision
below.) When the first partial withdrawal of each
policy year is made, this Surrender Charge will not
apply to: the first 10% of Cash Surrender Value
withdrawn; or if the amount withdrawn is less than
10%, the amount of the partial withdrawal.
The Face Amount will be decreased in the following
order:
1. The initial Face Amount of the Policy, plus any
increase in Face Amount provided by a change in
Death Benefit Option ,to the Minimum Face Amount
shown on the Policy Specifications page;
2. The Face Amount provided by any Adjustable Benefit
Term Rider;
3. The Face Amount of any Supplemental Coverage Term
Rider; and
4. Any increases in the same order in which they were
issued.
A decrease in Face Amount may require a decrease in
the amounts provided by any riders attached to this
Policy.
ALLOCATION OF PARTIAL You may allocate the partial withdrawal plus any
WITHDRAWALS applicable Surrender Charge, subject to the conditions
below, among the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of
the Variable Account. If you do not specify the
allocation, then the partial withdrawal will be
allocated among the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts
of the Variable Account in the same proportion that
the Cash Value in the Fixed Account and the Cash Value
in each Sub-Account bears to the total Cash Value of
the Policy less the Cash Value in the Loan Account on
the date of the partial withdrawal. If the Fixed
Account conditions will not allow this proportionate
allocation, we will request that you specify an
acceptable allocation.
FIXED ACCOUNT PARTIAL You may request a partial withdrawal be taken from
WITHDRAWALS your Cash Surrender Value in the Fixed Account.
The maximum amount of all partial withdrawals and
transfers from the Fixed Account in a policy year will
be the greater of 1. and 2:
1. The Cash Surrender Value of the Fixed Account at
the beginning of that policy year times the Fixed
Account Maximum Withdrawal Percentage Limit, as
shown on the Policy Specifications page.
2. The previous year's Fixed Account Maximum
withdrawal amount.
However, if less than $100 would remain in the Fixed
Account after the withdrawal, you can withdraw the
entire amount of Cash Surrender Value in the Fixed
Account.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT You may request a partial withdrawal be taken from
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS your Cash Surrender Value in a Sub-Account of the
Variable Account.
The maximum amount of your partial withdrawal from any
one of the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account in a
policy year will be the Cash Surrender Value of that
Sub-Account.
SURRENDER CHARGE A Surrender Charge will apply: upon surrender; upon
lapse; upon some partial withdrawals that reduce the
Face Amount (see Partial Withdrawals provision); upon
a change in Death Benefit Option that reduces the Face
Amount; or upon a decrease in Face Amount during the
surrender charge period.
The Surrender Charge for the initial Face Amount will
never exceed the Maximum Surrender Charge shown on the
Surrender Charge Schedule page. The Surrender Charge
for any increase will never exceed the Maximum
Surrender Charge shown on the Surrender Charge
Schedule page included with the Policy Specifications
page for Policy Change issued at the time of the
increase.
A decrease in Face Amount may decrease some or all of
the initial Face Amount and increases in Face Amount
as provided in the Policy Benefits Section. If a
portion of the initial Face Amount or any increase in
Face Amount is decreased, a proportionate amount of
the Surrender Charge will apply to each decrease.
The Surrender Charge will be allocated among the Fixed
Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account
in the same proportion that the Cash Value in the
Fixed Account and the Cash Value in each Sub-Account
bears to the total Cash Value of the Policy less the
Cash Value in the Loan Account. If a Surrender Charge
is imposed due to a partial withdrawal, you may
allocate it among the Fixed Account and the
Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.
For the purpose of determining the applicable
Surrender Charge on any date after Reinstatement, the
period the Policy was lapsed will not count.
POSTPONEMENT OF We will usually pay any amounts payable on Loans,
PAYMENTS OR TRANSFERS surrender or partial withdrawals allocated to the
Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account within seven days
after written request is received. We will usually pay
any Death Benefit proceeds within seven days after we

2. The SEC, by order, permits postponement for the
protection of policy owners; or
3. An emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a

payable from the Fixed Account on surrender or partial
withdrawals for not more than six months. If we defer
payment for 30 days or more, we will pay interest at
the rate of 3% per year, or that required by law, for
the period of deferment.
Transfers may also be postponed under the
circumstances listed above.
We may defer payment of the portion of any Loan from
the Fixed Account for not more than six months. No

table shown on the Policy Specifications page and
any Policy Specifications page for Policy Change;
and

Department of the state in which the Policy is
delivered.
9. PAYMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS
PAYMENT Unless otherwise requested, we may pay the Policy
Proceeds when the Insured dies to the Payee in one sum
or by placing the amount in an account that earns
interest. The Payee will have immediate access to all
or any part of the account. We will pay interest on
the proceeds from the date they become payable to the
date of payment as stated above. Interest will be
payable at a rate that will be set each year by us and
that will not be less than that required by law or 3%
per year, if greater.
On request, all or part of the proceeds payable in one
sum at the death of the Insured can be applied to any
Payment Option at the choice of the Payee. Further,
with our consent, any Payee who is entitled to receive
proceeds in one sum when a Payment Option ends, or at
the death of a prior Payee, or when the proceeds are
withdrawn, can choose to apply the proceeds to a
Payment Option.
CHOICE OF PAYMENT The choice of a Payment Option and the naming of the
OPTIONS; OPTION DATE Payee must be in written form satisfactory to us. You
can make or change or revoke the choice before the
death of the Insured. The Option Date is the effective

that will describe the terms of the Option. We may
require that you send us this Policy.
PAYEE A Payee is a person, a corporation, a partnership, a
fiduciary or any other legal entity entitled to
receive payment in one sum or under a Payment Option.
If the Payee is not a natural person, the choice of a
Payment Option will be subject to our approval. A
collateral assignment will modify a prior choice of a
Payment Option. The amount due the assignee will be
payable in one sum and the balance will be applied
under the Payment Option.
LIFE INCOME OPTIONS Guaranteed Life Income Options are based on the age of
the Payee on the Option Date. We will require proof of
age. The Life Income payments will be based on the
rates shown in the Life Income Tables; or, if they are
greater, our Payment Option rates on the Option Date.
If the rates at a given age are the same for different
periods certain, the longest period certain will be
deemed to have been chosen.
DEATH OF PAYEE Amounts to be paid after the death of a Payee under a
Payment Option will be paid as due to the successor
Payee. If there is no successor Payee, amounts will be
paid in one sum to the estate of the last Payee to
die. If a Payee under a Life Income Option dies within
30 days after the Option Date, the amount applied to
the Option, less any payments made, will be paid in
one sum, unless a Payment Option is chosen.
LIMITATIONS If instalments under an Option would be less than $50,
proceeds can be applied to a Payment Option only with
our consent.
