EXHIBIT 99.6

                 THE MANUFACTURERS INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
           DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE, TRANSFER AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES

                   Variable Universal Life Insurance Policies
                         (1933 File Act No. 333-100664)

       This document sets forth, as required by Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(12)(iii), the
       administrative procedures that will be followed by The Manufacturers Life
       Insurance Company of New York (the "Company") and any office the Company
       designates for the receipt of payments and processing of policyowner
       requests (the "Service Office") in connection with the issuance of its
       flexible premium variable universal life insurance policies described in
       this registration statement (1933 Act file no. 333-88972) (the "Policy"),
       the transfer of assets held thereunder, and the redemption by
       policyowners of their interests in the Policy.

       I.     ISSUING A POLICY

              A. Premiums

              This Policy is a flexible premium variable universal life
              insurance policy. The Policy permits the policyowner to pay
              flexible premiums.

              After the payment of the initial premium, premiums may be paid at
              any time and in any amount until the Maturity Date, subject to the
              limitations on premium amount described below.

              A Policy will be issued with a planned premium, which is based on
              the amount of premium the policyowner wishes to pay. Manulife New
              York will send notices to the policyowner setting forth the
              planned premium at the payment interval selected by the
              policyowner. However, the policyowner is under no obligation to
              make the indicated payment.

              The Company may refuse any premium payment that would cause the
              Policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under the Internal
              Revenue Code. The Company also reserves the right to request
              evidence of insurability if a premium payment would result in an
              increase in the Death Benefit that is greater than the increase in
              Policy Value.

              Payment of premiums will not guarantee that the Policy will stay
              in force. Conversely, failure to pay premiums will not necessarily
              cause the Policy to lapse.

              In no event may the total of all premiums paid exceed the then
              current maximum premium limitations established by federal income
              tax law for a Policy to qualify as life insurance.

              If, at any time, a premium is paid which would result in total
              premiums exceeding the above maximum premium limitation, the
              Company will only accept that portion of the premium which will
              make the total premiums equal to the maximum. Any part of the
              premium in excess of that amount will be returned and no further
              premiums will be accepted until allowed by the then current
              maximum premium limitation.

              B. Underwriting

              The acceptance of an application is subject to the Company's
              underwriting rules, and the Company reserves the right to request
              additional information or to reject an application for any reason.
              The Company will require satisfactory evidence of insurability.
              This may include medical exams and other information. Persons
              failing to meet standard underwriting classification may be
              eligible for a Policy with an additional rating assigned to it.

              C. Application

              To purchase a Policy, an applicant must submit a completed
              application. A Policy will not be issued until the underwriting
              process has been completed to our satisfaction.

              Policies may be issued on a basis which does not take into account
              the insured's sex and/or smoking status, with prior approval from
              the Company. A Policy will generally be issued only on the lives
              of insureds from ages 0 through 90.

              Each Policy is issued with a Policy Date, an Effective Date and an
              Issue Date (as defined under "Definitions" in the prospectus). The
              Issue Date is the date from which the Suicide and Validity
              provisions of the Policy are determined and is the expected date
              of actual delivery of the Policy to the policyowner. The Effective
              Date is the date on which the first monthly deductions are taken,
              and is the date on which the underwriters approve the Policy
              issuance. The Policy Date is the date coverage takes effect under
              the Policy, provided the Company receives the minimum initial
              premium at its Service Office, is the date from which charges for
              the first monthly deduction are calculated, and is the date from
              which Policy Years, Policy Months and Policy Anniversaries are
              determined.

              If an application accepted by the Company is not accompanied by a
              check for the initial premium and no request to backdate the
              Policy has been made:

              (i)    the Policy Date and the Effective Date will be the date the
                     Company receives the check at its Service Office, and;

              (ii)   the Issue Date will be the date the Company issues the
                     Policy.

              The initial premium must be received within 60 days after the
              Issue Date and the policyowner must be in good health on the date
              the initial premium is received. If the premium is not paid or the
              application is rejected, the Policy will be canceled and any
              partial premium paid will be returned to the applicant.

              D. Minimum Initial Face Amount

              Manulife New York will generally issue a Policy only if it has a
              Face Amount of at least $250,000.

              E. Backdating a Policy

              Under limited circumstances, we may backdate a Policy, upon
              request, by assigning a Policy Date earlier than the date the
              application is signed. However, in no event will a Policy be
              backdated more than six months before the date of the application
              for the Policy. Monthly deductions will be made for the period the
              Policy Date is backdated. Regardless of whether or not a policy is
              backdated, Net Premiums received prior to the Effective Date of a
              Policy will be credited with interest from the date of receipt at
              the rate of return then being earned on amounts allocated to the
              Money Market portfolio.

              F. Temporary Insurance

              In accordance with the Company's underwriting practices, temporary
              insurance coverage may be provided under the terms of a Temporary
              Insurance Agreement. Generally, temporary life insurance may not
              exceed $5,000,000 and may not be in effect for more than 90 days.
              This temporary insurance coverage will be issued on a conditional
              receipt basis. This means that any benefits under such temporary
              coverage will only be paid if the Lives Insured meet the Company's
              usual and customary underwriting standards for the coverage
              applied for.

              The acceptance of an application is subject to the Company's
              underwriting rules, and the Company reserves the right to request
              additional information or to reject an application for any reason.

                                       2

              Persons failing to meet standard underwriting classification may
              be eligible for a Policy with an additional rating assigned to it.

              G. Right to Examine the Policy

              A Policy may be returned for a refund of the premium within 10
              days after it is received. This ten day period is known as the
              "free look" period. The Policy can be mailed or delivered to the
              Manulife New York agent who sold it or to the Manulife New York
              Service Office. Immediately on such delivery or mailing, the
              Policy shall be deemed void from the beginning. Within seven days
              after receipt of the returned Policy at its Service Office,
              Manulife New York will refund any premium paid. Manulife New York
              reserves the right to delay the refund of any premium paid by
              check until the check has cleared.

              If the Policy is purchased in connection with a replacement of an
              existing policy (as defined below), the policyowner may also
              cancel the Policy by returning it to the Service Office or the
              Manulife New York agent who sold it at any time within 60 days
              after receipt of the Policy. Within 10 days of receipt of the
              Policy by Manulife New York, it will pay the policyowner the
              Policy Value, computed at the end of the valuation period during
              which the Policy is received by Manulife New York. In the case of
              a replacement of a policy issued by a New York insurance company,
              the policyowner may have the right to reinstate the prior policy.
              The policyowner should consult with his or her attorney or the
              Manulife New York agent regarding this matter prior to purchasing
              the new Policy.

              Replacement of an existing life insurance policy generally is
              defined as the purchase of a new life insurance policy in
              connection with (a) the lapse, surrender or change of, or
              borrowing from, an existing life insurance policy or (b) the
              assignment to a new issuer or an existing life insurance policy.
              This description, however, does not necessarily cover all
              situations which could be considered a replacement of an existing
              life insurance policy. Therefore, a policyowner should consult
              with his or her attorney or Manulife New York agent regarding
              whether the purchase of a new life insurance policy is a
              replacement of an existing life insurance policy.

              If you request an increase in face amount which results in new
              surrender charges, you will have the same rights as described
              above to cancel the increase. If canceled, the Policy Value and
              the surrender charges will be recalculated to the amounts they
              would have been had the increase not taken place. You may request
              a refund of all or any portion of premiums paid during the free
              look period, and the Policy Value and the surrender charges will
              be recalculated to the amounts they would have been had the
              premiums not been paid.

              H. Premium Allocation

              Premiums may be allocated to either the Fixed Account for
              accumulation at a rate of interest equal to at least 4% or to one
              or more of the Investment Accounts for investment in the Portfolio
              shares held by the corresponding sub-account of the Separate
              Account. Allocations among the Investment Accounts and the Fixed
              Account are made as a percentage of the premium. The percentage
              allocation to any account may be any number between zero and 100,
              provided the total allocation equals 100. A policyowner may change
              the way in which premiums are allocated at any time without
              charge. The change will take effect on the date a written request
              for change satisfactory to the Company is received at the Service
              Office.

       II.    DEATH BENEFIT OPTION CHANGES

              The policyowner may change the death benefit option on the first
              day of any policy month once each Policy Year after the first
              Policy Year. The change will occur on the first day of the next
              Policy Month after a written request for a change is received at
              the Service Office. The Company reserves the right to limit a
              request for a change if the change would cause the Policy to fail
              to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes.

                                       3

              A change in the death benefit option will result in a change in
              the Policy's Face Amount, in order to avoid any change in the
              amount of the death benefit, as follows:

              CHANGE FROM OPTION 1 TO OPTION 2

              The new Face Amount will be equal to the Face Amount prior to the
              change minus the Policy Value as of the date of the change. The
              Policy will not be assessed a Surrender Charge for a reduction in
              Face Amount solely due to a change in the death benefit option.

              CHANGE FROM OPTION 2 TO OPTION 1

              The new Face Amount will be equal to the Face Amount prior to the
              change plus the Policy Value as of the date of the change. No new
              Surrender Charges will apply to an increase in Face Amount solely
              due to a change in the death benefit option.

       III.   FACE AMOUNT CHANGES

              Subject to the limitations stated in this Prospectus, a
              policyowner may, upon Written Request, increase or decrease the
              Face Amount of the Policy. The Company reserves the right to limit
              a change in Face Amount so as to prevent the Policy from failing
              to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes.

              A. Increase in Face Amount

              Increases in Face Amount may be made once each Policy Year after
              the first Policy Year. Any increase in Face Amount must be at
              least $50,000. An increase will become effective at the beginning
              of the policy month following the date Manulife New York approves
              the requested increase. Increases in Face Amount are subject to
              satisfactory evidence of insurability. The Company reserves the
              right to refuse a requested increase if any of the Lives Insureds'
              Attained Ages at the effective date of the increase would be
              greater than the maximum issue age for new Policies at that time.

              B. New Surrender Charges for an Increase

              An increase in face amount will usually result in the Policy being
              subject to new surrender charges. There will be no new surrender
              charges associated with restoration of a prior decrease in Face
              Amount. As with the purchase of a Policy, a policyowner will have
              a free look right with respect to any increase resulting in new
              surrender charges.

              An additional premium may be required for a Face Amount increase,
              and a new No-Lapse Guarantee Premium will be determined, if the
              No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect at the time of the face amount
              increase.

              C. Increase with Prior Decreases

              If, at the time of the increase, there have been prior decreases
              in Face Amount, these prior decreases will be restored first. The
              insurance coverage eliminated by the decrease of the oldest face
              amount will be deemed to be restored first.

              D. Decrease in Face Amount

              Decreases in Face Amount may be made once each Policy Year after
              the first Policy Year. Any decrease in Face Amount must be at
              least $50,000. A written request from a policy owner for a
              decrease in the Face Amount will be effective at the beginning of
              the Policy Month following the date Manulife New York approves the
              requested decrease. If there have been previous increases in Face
              Amount, the decrease will be applied to the most recent increase
              first and thereafter to the next most recent increases
              successively.

              If the Face Amount of insurance is decreased, a pro-rata Surrender
              Charge will be deducted from the Policy Value. A decrease in Face
              Amount caused by a change from Death Benefit Option 1 to Option 2
              will not incur a pro-rata Surrender Charge. Each time a pro-rata
              Surrender Charge is deducted for a Face Amount decrease, the
              remaining Surrender Charge will be reduced in the

                                       4

              same proportion that the Surrender Charge deducted bears to the
              total Surrender Charge immediately before the Face Amount
              decrease.

       IV.    POLICY VALUE

              A. Determination of the Policy Value

              A Policy has a Policy Value, a portion of which is available to
              the policyowner by making a policy loan or partial withdrawal, or
              upon surrender of the Policy. The Policy Value may also affect the
              amount of the death benefit. The Policy Value at any time is equal
              to the sum of the values in the Investment Accounts, the Fixed
              Account, and the Loan Account.

              B. Investment Accounts

              An Investment Account is established under each Policy for each
              sub-account of the Separate Account to which net premiums or
              transfer amounts have been allocated. Each Investment Account
              under a Policy measures the interest of the Policy in the
              corresponding sub-account. The value of the Investment Account
              established for a particular sub-account is equal to the number of
              units of that sub-account credited to the Policy times the value
              of such units.

              C. Fixed Account

              Amounts in the Fixed Account do not vary with the investment
              performance of any sub-account. Instead, these amounts are
              credited with interest at a rate determined by Manulife New York.

              D. Loan Account

              Amounts borrowed from the Policy are transferred to the Loan
              Account. Amounts in the Loan Account do not vary with the
              investment performance of any sub-account. Instead, these amounts
              are credited with interest at a rate which is equal to the amount
              charged on the outstanding Policy Debt less the Loan Spread.

              E. Units and Unit Values

              Crediting and Canceling Units

              Units of a particular sub-account are credited to a Policy when
              net premiums are allocated to that sub-account or amounts are
              transferred to that sub-account. Units of a sub-account are
              canceled whenever amounts are deducted, transferred or withdrawn
              from the sub-account. The number of units credited or canceled for
              a specific transaction is based on the dollar amount of the
              transaction divided by the value of the unit on the Business Day
              on which the transaction occurs. The number of units credited with
              respect to a premium payment will be based on the applicable unit
              values for the Business Day on which the premium is received at
              the Service Office, except for any premiums received before the
              Effective Date. For premiums received before the Effective Date,
              the values will be determined on the Effective Date.

              A Business Day is any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open
              for business. A Business Day ends at the close of regularly
              scheduled day-time trading of the New York Stock Exchange on that
              day.

              Units are valued at the end of each Business Day. When an order
              involving the crediting or cancelling of units is received after
              the end of a Business Day, or on a day which is not a Business
              Day, the order will be processed on the basis of unit values
              determined on the next Business Day. Similarly, any determination
              of Policy Value, Investment Account value or death benefit to be
              made on a day which is not a Business Day will be made on the next
              Business Day.

              Unit Values

              The value of a unit of each sub-account was initially fixed at
              $10.00 or $12.50 (depending on sub-account). For each subsequent
              Business Day the unit value for that sub-account is determined by

                                       5

              multiplying the unit value for the immediately preceding Business
              Day by the net investment factor for the that sub-account on such
              subsequent Business Day.

              The net investment factor for a sub-account on any Business Day is
              equal to (a) divided by (b) where:

              (a) is the net asset value of the underlying Portfolio shares held
              by that sub-account as of the end of such Business Day before any
              policy transactions are made on that day; and

              (b) is the net asset value of the underlying Portfolio shares held
              by that sub-account as of the end of the immediately preceding
              Business Day after all policy transactions were made for that day;

              The value of a unit may increase, decrease, or remain the same,
              depending on the investment performance of a sub-account from one
              Business Day to the next.

       V.     TRANSFER OF POLICY VALUE

              A. General Transfers

              At any time, a policyowner may transfer Policy Value from one
              sub-account to another or to the Fixed Account. Transfer requests
              must be in writing in a format satisfactory to the Company, or by
              telephone if a currently valid transfer authorization form is on
              file.

              The Company reserves the right to impose limitations on transfers,
              including the maximum amount that may be transferred. In addition,
              transfer privileges are subject to any restrictions that may be
              imposed by the Trust.

              While the Policy is in force, the policyowner may transfer the
              Policy Value from any of the Investment Accounts to the Fixed
              Account without incurring transfer charges:

              (a) within eighteen months after the Issue Date; or

              (b) within 60 days of the effective date of a material change in
              the investment objectives of any of the sub-accounts or within 60
              days of the date of notification of such change, whichever is
              later.

              Such transfers will not count against the 12 transfers that may be
              made free of charge in any Policy Year.

       VI.    POLICY SURRENDER AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

              A. Policy Surrender

              A Policy may be surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value at
              any time while the Life Insured is living. The Net Cash Surrender
              Value is equal to the Policy Value less any surrender charges and
              outstanding monthly deductions due (the "Cash Surrender Value")
              minus the Policy Debt. If there have been any prior Face Amount
              increases, the Surrender Charge will be the sum of the Surrender
              Charge for the Initial Face Amount plus the Surrender Charge for
              each increase. The Net Cash Surrender Value will be determined as
              of the end of the Business Day on which Manulife New York receives
              the Policy and a written request for surrender at its Service
              Office. After a Policy is surrendered, the insurance coverage and
              all other benefits under the Policy will terminate.

              B. Surrender Charges

              The Company will deduct a Surrender Charge if during the first 15
              years following the Policy Date, or the effective date of a Face
              Amount increase:

                                       6

       -      the Policy is surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value,

       -      a partial withdrawal is made in excess of the Withdrawal Tier
              Amount (see below for a description of this amount),

       -      there is a decrease in Face Amount, or

       -      the Policy Lapses.

              C. Surrender Charge Calculation

The Surrender Charge for the initial Face Amount or for the amount of any
increase in Face Amount is determined by the following formula (the calculation
is also described in words below):

Surrender Charge = (Surrender Charge Rate)X (Face Amount associated with the
Surrender Charge divided by 1000) X (Grading Percentage)

       Face Amount associated with the Surrender Charge

The Face Amount associated with the Surrender Charge equals the Face Amount for
which the Surrender Charge is being applied.

       Surrender Charge Rate (the calculation is also described in words below)

Surrender Charge Rate = (8.5 ) + (82.5%) X (Surrender Charge Premium)

DEFINITIONS OF THE FORMULA FACTORS ABOVE

The Surrender Charge Premium is the Surrender Charge Premium Limit specified in
the Policy per $1000 of Face Amount:

Grading Percentage

The grading percentage is based on the issue age of the youngest insured and the
policy year in which the transaction causing the assessment of the charge occurs
as set forth in the table below:

                       SURRENDER CHARGE GRADING PERCENTAGE

              D  Surrender Charges on a Partial Withdrawal

              A partial withdrawal will result in the assessment of a portion of
              the Surrender Charges to which the Policy is subject. The portion
              of the Surrender Charges assessed will be based on the ratio of
              the amount of the withdrawal which exceeds the Withdrawal Tier
              Amount (as described below) to the Net Cash Surrender Value of the
              Policy as at the date of the withdrawal. The Surrender Charges
              will be deducted from the Policy Value at the time of the partial
              withdrawal on a pro-rata basis from each of the Investment
              Accounts and the Fixed Account.

                                       7

              Whenever a portion of the Surrender Charges is deducted as a
              result of a partial withdrawal, the Policy's remaining Surrender
              Charges will be reduced in the same proportion that the Surrender
              Charge deducted bears to the total Surrender Charge immediately
              before the partial withdrawal.

              E  Surrender Charge on Decrease in Face Amount

              If the Face Amount of insurance is decreased, a pro-rata Surrender
              Charge will be deducted from the Policy Value. A decrease in Face
              Amount caused by a change from Death Benefit Option 1 to Option 2
              will not incur a pro-rata Surrender Charge.

              Each time a pro-rata Surrender Charge is deducted for a Face
              Amount decrease, the remaining Surrender Charge will be reduced in
              the same proportion that the Surrender Charge deducted bears to
              the total Surrender Charge immediately before the Face Amount
              decrease.

       VII.   LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT

              A. Lapse

              Unless the No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect, a Policy will go into
              default if at the beginning of any Policy Month the Policy's Net
              Cash Surrender Value would be zero or below after deducting the
              monthly deduction then due. Therefore, a Policy could lapse
              eventually if increases in Policy Value (prior to deduction of
              Policy charges) are not sufficient to cover Policy charges. A
              lapse could have adverse tax consequences as described under "Tax
              Treatment of the Policy - Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits -
              Surrender or Lapse." Manulife New York will notify the policyowner
              of the default and will allow a 61 day grace period in which the
              policyowner may make a premium payment sufficient to bring the
              Policy out of default. The required payment will be equal to the
              amount necessary to bring the Net Cash Surrender Value to zero, if
              it was less than zero on the date of default, plus the monthly
              deductions due at the date of default and payable at the beginning
              of each of the two Policy Months thereafter, plus any applicable
              premium load. If the required payment is not received by the end
              of the grace period, the Policy will terminate with no value.

                     Death During Grace Period

              If the Life Insured should die during the grace period, the Policy
              Value used in the calculation of the death benefit will be the
              Policy Value as of the date of default and the insurance benefit
              will be reduced by any outstanding Monthly Deductions due at the
              time of death.

                     No-Lapse Guarantee

              As long as the No-Lapse Guarantee Cumulative Premium Test is
              satisfied during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, as described
              below, the Company will guarantee that the Policy will not go into
              default, even if adverse investment experience or other factors
              should cause the Policy's Net Cash Surrender Value to be
              insufficient to meet the monthly deductions due at the beginning
              of a Policy Month.

              The Monthly No-Lapse Guarantee Premium is one-twelfth of the
              No-Lapse Guarantee Premium.

              The No-Lapse Guarantee Premium is set at issue and reflects any
              Additional Rating and Supplementary Benefits, if applicable. It is
              subject to change if the face amount of the Policy is changed, if
              there is a Death Benefit Option change, or if there is any change
              in the supplementary benefits added to the Policy or in the risk
              classification of any Lives Insured because of a change in smoking
              status.

              The No-Lapse Guarantee Period is set at issue and will vary by
              issue age, as set forth in the Policy.

              While the No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect, the Company will
              determine at the beginning of the Policy Month that your policy
              would otherwise be in default, whether the No-Lapse Guarantee
              Cumulative Premium Test, described below, has been met. If it has
              not been satisfied, the Company will notify the policyowner of
              that fact and allow a 61-day grace period in which the policyowner
              may make a premium payment sufficient to keep the policy from
              going into default. This required payment, as described in the
              notification to the policyowner, will be equal to the

                                       8

              lesser of:

              (i)    the outstanding premium requirement to satisfy the No-Lapse
                     Guarantee Cumulative Premium Test at the date of default,
                     plus the Monthly No-Lapse Guarantee Premium due for the
                     next two Policy Months, or

              (ii)   the amount necessary to bring the Net Cash Surrender Value
                     to zero plus the monthly deductions due, plus the next two
                     monthly deductions plus the applicable premium load.

              If the required payment is not received by the end of the grace
              period, the No-Lapse Guarantee and the Policy will terminate.

                     No-Lapse Guarantee Cumulative Premium Test

              The No-Lapse Guarantee Cumulative Premium Test is satisfied if, as
              of the beginning of the Policy Month that your policy would
              otherwise be in default, the sum of all premiums paid to date less
              any gross withdrawals and less any policy debt, is at least equal
              to the sum of the Monthly No-Lapse Guarantee Premiums due from the
              Policy Date to the date of the test.

              B. Reinstatement

              A policyowner can reinstate a Policy which has terminated after
              going into default at any time within 21 days following the date
              of termination without furnishing evidence of insurability,
              subject to the following conditions:

              (a)    All Lives Insured's risk classifications are standard or
                     preferred, and

              (b)    All Lives Insured's Attained Ages are less than 46.

              A policyowner can reinstate a Policy which has terminated after
              going into default at any time within the five-year period
              following the date of termination subject to the following
              conditions:

              (a)    Evidence of all Lives Insured's insurability, or on the
                     survivor(s) who were insured at the end of the grace
                     period, satisfactory to the Company is provided to the
                     Company;

              (b)    A premium equal to the amount that was required to bring
                     the Policy out of default immediately prior to termination,
                     plus the next two monthly deductions;

              (c)    The Policy cannot be reinstated if any of the Lives Insured
                     die after the Policy has terminated.

              If the reinstatement is approved, the date of reinstatement will
              be the later of the date the Company approves the policyowner's
              request or the date the required payment is received at the
              Company's Service Office. In addition, any surrender charges will
              be reinstated to the amount they were at the date of default. The
              Policy Value on the date of reinstatement, prior to the crediting
              of any Net Premium paid on the reinstatement, will be equal to the
              Policy Value on the date the Policy terminated.

       VIII.  POLICY LOANS

              At any time while this Policy is in force, a policyowner may
              borrow against the Policy Value of the Policy. The Policy serves
              as the only security for the loan. Policy loans may have tax
              consequences.

              A. Available Loan Value

              The Maximum Loanable Amount is 90% of the Policy's Net Cash
              Surrender Value.

              B. Interest Charged on Policy Loans

                                       9

              Interest on the Policy Debt will accrue daily and be payable
              annually on the Policy Anniversary. The rate of interest charged
              will be an effective annual rate of 5.25%. If the interest due on
              a Policy Anniversary is not paid by the policyowner, the interest
              will be borrowed against the Policy.

              The Policy will go into default at any time the Policy Debt
              exceeds the Policy Value. At least 61 days prior to termination,
              the Company will send the policyowner a notice of the pending
              termination. Payment of interest on the Policy Debt during the 61
              day grace period will bring the policy out of default.

              C. Loan Account

              When a loan is made, an amount equal to the loan will be deducted
              from the Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account and transferred
              to the Loan Account. The policyowner may designate how the amount
              to be transferred to the Loan Account is allocated among the
              accounts from which the transfer is to be made. In the absence of
              instructions, the amount to be transferred will be allocated to
              each account in the same proportion as the value in each
              Investment Account and the Fixed Account bears to the Net Policy
              Value. A transfer from an Investment Account will result in the
              cancellation of units of the underlying sub-account equal in value
              to the amount transferred from the Investment Account. However,
              since the Loan Account is part of the Policy Value, transfers made
              in connection with a loan will not change the Policy Value.

              D. Interest Credited to the Loan Account

              Interest will be credited to amounts in the Loan Account at an
              effective annual rate of at least 4%. The actual rate credited is
              equal to the rate of interest charged on the policy loan less the
              Loan Interest Credited Differential, which is currently 1.25% and
              guaranteed not to exceed this percentage. We may change the
              differential as of 90 days after we send you written notice of
              such change.

              E. Loan Account Adjustments

              On the first day of each Policy Anniversary the difference between
              the Loan Account and the Policy Debt is transferred to the Loan
              Account from the Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account. Amounts
              transferred to the Loan Account will be taken from the Investment
              Accounts or the Fixed Account in the same proportion as the value
              in each Investment Account and Fixed Account bears to the Net
              Policy Value.

              F. Loan Repayments

              Policy Debt may be repaid in whole or in part at any time prior to
              the death of the last-to-die of the Lives Insured, provided that
              the Policy is in force. When a repayment is made, the amount is
              credited to the Loan Account and transferred to the Fixed Account
              or the Investment Accounts. Loan repayments will be allocated
              first to the Fixed Account, until the value that was transferred
              from it is fully restored, and then to each Investment Account in
              the same proportion that the value that was transferred from it
              bears to the value of the Loan Account.

              Amounts paid to the Company not specifically designated in writing
              as loan repayments will be treated as premiums.

                                       10
