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

                   VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
                          (1933 FILE ACT NO. 333-83023)

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. 333-83023) (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 payment
     of the initial premium, premiums may be paid at any time and in any amount
     during the lifetime of the insured. A Policy will be issued with a planned
     premium, which is based on the amount of premium the policyowner wished to
     pay. In no event may the total of all premiums paid exceed the then-current
     maximum premium limitations established by federal income tax law for
     Policies that qualify as life insurance under the Guideline Premium Test or
     the Cash Value Accumulation Test. 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. 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.

     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 the Company's satisfaction.

     Policies may be issued on a basis which does not distinguish between the
     insured's sex, with prior approval from the Company. Generally, a Policy
     will only be issued 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.

     The POLICY DATE is the date coverage takes effect under the Policy,
     provided the Company receives the minimum initial premium at its Service
     Office, and is the date from which the first monthly deductions are
     calculated and from which Policy Years, Policy Months and Policy
     Anniversaries are determined.


   2


     The EFFECTIVE DATE is the date the underwriters approve issuance of the
     Policy. If the Policy is approved without the initial premium, the
     Effective Date will be the date the Company receives at least the minimum
     initial premium at its Service Office.

     The ISSUE DATE is the date the Company issued the Policy. It is the date
     from which the suicide and incontestability provisions are measured.

     If an application is accompanied by a check for the initial premium and the
     application is accepted:

          (i) the Policy Date will be the date the application and check were
          received at the Service Office (unless a special Policy Date is
          requested (See "Backdating a Policy" below);

          (ii) the Effective Date will be the date the Company's underwriters
          approve issuance of the Policy; and

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

     If an application accepted by the Company is not accompanied by a check for
     the initial premium:

          (i) the Policy Date will be the date the Company issues the Policy
          (unless a special Policy Date is requested (See "Backdating a Policy"
          below);

          (ii) the Effective Date will be the date the Service Office receives
          the initial premium; and

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

     The initial premium must be received within 60 days after the Policy Date.
     If the premium is not paid or if the application is rejected, the Policy
     will be canceled and any partial premiums paid will be returned to the
     applicant.

     D. MINIMUM INITIAL FACE AMOUNT

     The Company will generally issue a Policy only if it has a Face Amount of
     at least $100,000.

     E. BACKDATING A POLICY

     Under limited circumstances, the Company 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 earlier 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 (premium
     paid less premium charge) 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.

     As of the Effective Date, the premiums paid plus interest credited, net of
     the premium charge, will be allocated among the Investment Accounts (as
     described below under ("Policy Value - Investment Accounts") and/or Fixed
     Account in accordance with the policyowner's instructions.

     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 $1,000,000
     and may not be in effect for more than 90 days. This temporary insurance
     coverage will be issued on a conditional receipt basis, which means that
     any benefits under such temporary coverage will only be paid if the life
     insured meets the Company's usual and customary underwriting standards for
     the coverage applied for.


                                       2
   3


     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.

     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 Company's agent who sold it or to
     the 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, the Company will refund any
     premium paid. The Company 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 Company's agent who sold it at
     any time within 60 days after receipt of the Policy. Within 10 days of
     receipt of the Policy by the Company, it will pay the policyowner the
     Policy Value, computed at the end of the valuation period during which the
     Policy is received by the Company. 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.

     If a policyowner requests an increase in face amount which results in new
     surrender charges, he or she 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. A policyowner 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

     No premiums will be accepted prior to receipt of a completed application by
     the Company. All premiums received prior to the Effective Date of the
     Policy will be held in the general account of the Company and credited with
     interest from the date of receipt at the rate of return then being earned
     on amounts allocated to the Money Market Trust.

     On the later of the Effective Date or the date a premium is received, the
     Net Premiums paid plus interest credited will be allocated among the
     Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account in accordance with the
     policyowner's instructions.

     All Net Premiums received on or after the Effective Date will be allocated
     among Investment Accounts or the Fixed Account as of the business day the
     premiums were received at the Service Office. Monthly deductions are due on
     the Policy Date and at the beginning of each policy month thereafter.
     However, if due prior to the Effective Date, they will be taken on the
     Effective Date instead of the dates they were due.

     Premiums may be allocated to either the Fixed Account for accumulation at a
     rate of interest determined by the Company (the rate of interest will be 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 death benefit option may be changed 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. The Company will not allow a change in death
     benefit option if it would cause the face amount to decrease below
     $100,000.

     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.

     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 the prospectus for the Policy and
     stated in this memorandum, 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 are subject to satisfactory evidence of
     insurability. An increase 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 the Company approves the requested increase. The
     Company reserves the right to refuse a requested increase if the life
     insured's Attained Age (the age at issue plus the number of whole years
     that have elapsed since the Policy Date) at the effective date of the
     increase would be greater than 90.

     B. NEW SURRENDER CHARGES FOR AN INCREASE

     An increase in Face Amount will usually result in the Policy being subject
     to new surrender charges. The new surrender charges will be computed as if
     a new Policy were being purchased for the increase in Face Amount. The
     premiums attributable to the new Face Amount will not exceed the surrender
     charge premium limit associated with that increase. 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.


                                       4
   5


     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 policyowner for a decrease in the Face Amount will
     be effective at the beginning of the Policy Month following the date the
     Company 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. The Company will not allow a decrease in the Face Amount if
     it is for the reduction or termination of a prior Face Amount increase
     which has been in force for less than one year. Under no circumstances
     should the sum of all decreases cause the Policy to fall below the minimum
     Face Amount of $100,000. Decreases in Face Amount will not result in a
     decrease in surrender charges.

     E. CHANGING BOTH THE FACE AMOUNT AND THE DEATH BENEFIT OPTION

     If a policyowner requests to change both the Face Amount and the Death
     Benefit Option in the same month, the Death Benefit Option change shall be
     deemed to occur first.

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 the Company.

     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
     (the aggregate amount of policy loans, including borrowed and accrued
     interest, less any loan repayments) less the Loan Spread set forth in the
     Policy. (See "Policy Loans - Interested Credited to the Loan Account"
     below).

     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.


                                       5
   6


     For premiums received before the Effective Date, the values will be
     determined on the Effective Date.

     Units are valued at the end of each Business Day. When an order involving
     the crediting or canceling 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.

     *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.

          Unit Values
     The value of a unit of each sub-account was initially fixed at $10.00. For
     each subsequent Business Day the unit value for that sub-account is
     determined by multiplying the unit value for the immediately preceding
     Business Day by the net investment factor for the 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 of
     Manufacturers Investment Trust 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 (the sum of the values
     in the Loan Account, the Fixed Account and the Investment Accounts) from
     one sub-account to another or to the Fixed Account. (Transfers involving
     the Fixed Account are subject to certain limitations noted below.) Transfer
     requests must be in writing in a format satisfactory to the Company.

     These transfer privileges are subject to the Company's consent. The Company
     reserves the right to impose limitations on transfers, including the
     maximum amount that may be transferred. The Company also reserves the right
     to modify or terminate the transfer privilege at any time in accordance
     with applicable law. Transfers may also be delayed during any period which
     (i) the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading (except for normal
     weekend and holiday closings), (ii) trading on the New York Stock Exchange
     is restricted, and (iii) an emergency exists as a result of which disposal
     of securities held in the Separate Account is not reasonably practicable or
     it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Separate
     Account's net assets. Transfer privileges are also subject to any
     restrictions that may be imposed by Manufacturers Investment Trust. In
     addition, the Company reserves the right to defer the transfer privilege at
     any time when we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of Manufacturers
     Investment 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 twelve transfers that may be made
     free of charge in any Policy Year as described below.


                                       6
   7


     A policyowner may make up to twelve transfers each policy year free of
     charge. Additional transfers in each policy year may be made at a cost of
     per transfer as set forth in the currently effective prospectus. This
     charge will be deducted from the Investment Account or the Fixed Account to
     which the transfer is being made. All transfer requests received by the
     Company on the same Business Day are treated as a single transfer request.

     The maximum amount that may be transferred from the Fixed Account in any
     one policy year is the greater of $500 or 15% of the Fixed Account Value at
     the previous Policy Anniversary. Any transfer which involves a transfer out
     of the Fixed Account may not involve a transfer to the Investment Account
     for the Money Market Trust.

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
     at the end of the Business Day on which the Company 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.

     A policyowner may make a partial withdrawal of the Net Cash Surrender Value
     once each Policy Month after the first Policy Anniversary. The policyowner
     may specify the portion of the withdrawal to be taken from each Investment
     Account and the Fixed Account. In the absence of instructions, the
     withdrawal will be allocated among such accounts in the same proportion as
     the Policy Value in each account bears to the Net Policy Value (Policy
     Value less the value in the Loan Account). Withdrawals will be limited if
     they would otherwise cause the Face Amount to fall below $100,000.

     If Death Benefit Option 1 is in effect when a partial withdrawal is made,
     the Face Amount of the Policy will be reduced by the amount of the
     withdrawal plus any applicable Surrender Charges.

     If the death benefit is based upon the Policy Value times the minimum death
     benefit percentage, the Face Amount will be reduced only to the extent that
     the amount of the withdrawal plus the portion of the Surrender Charge
     assessed exceeds the difference between the death benefit and the Face
     Amount. When the Face Amount of a Policy is based on one or more increases
     subsequent to issuance of the Policy, a reduction resulting from a partial
     withdrawal will be applied in the same manner as a requested decrease in
     Face Amount, i.e., against the Face Amount provided by the most recent
     increase, then against the next most recent increases successively and
     finally against the initial Face Amount.

     As long as the Policy is in force, the Company will ordinarily pay any
     policy loans, surrenders, partial withdrawals or insurance benefit within
     seven days after receipt at its Service Office of all the documents
     required for such a payment. The Company may delay for up to six months the
     payment from the Fixed Account of any policy loans, surrenders, partial
     withdrawals, or insurance benefit. In the case of any such payments from
     any Investment Account, the Company may delay payment during any period
     during which (i) the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading (except
     for normal weekend and holiday closings), (ii) trading on the New York
     Stock Exchange is restricted, and (iii) an emergency exists as a result of
     which disposal of securities held in the Separate Account is not reasonably
     practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of
     the Separate Account's net assets; provided that applicable rules and
     regulations of the SEC shall govern as to whether the conditions described
     in (ii) and (iii) exist.

     B. SURRENDER CHARGES

     The Company will deduct a Surrender Charge if during the first 10 years
     following the Policy date, or the


                                       7
   8


     effective date of a Face Amount increase:

     -    the Policy is surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value,
     -    a partial withdrawal is made, or
     -    the Policy lapses.

     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 / 1000) x (Grading Percentage)

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

     Surrender Charge Rate = (X) + ((80%)x (Surrender Charge Premium)) where "X"
     is equal to:

     DEFINITIONS OF THE FORMULA FACTORS ABOVE

     The SURRENDER CHARGE PREMIUM is the lesser of:

     (a)  the premiums paid during the first policy year per $1,000 of Face
          Amount at issue or following a Face Amount increase, and

     (b)  the Surrender Charge Premium Limit specified in the Policy per $1,000
          of Face Amount.

     Face of the Policy 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.

     Grading Percentage

     The grading percentages during the Surrender Charge Period and set forth in
     the table below apply to the initial Face Amount and to all subsequent Face
     Amount increases.

     The grading percentage is based on the Policy Year in which the transaction
     causing the assessment of the charge occurs as set forth in the table
     below:



    SURRENDER CHARGE PERIOD     SURRENDER CHARGE GRADING
                                       PERCENTAGE
    ----------------------------------------------------

                                      
             1                           100%
             2                            90%
             3                            80%
             4                            70%
             5                            60%
             6                            50%
             7                            40%
             8                            30%
             9                            20%
            10                            10%
            11                             0%


     Within a Policy Year, grading percentages will be interpolated on a monthly
     basis. For example, if the policyowner surrenders the Policy during the
     fourth month of Policy Year 4, the grading percentage will be 67.5%.

     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 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. If the amount in the
     accounts is not sufficient to pay the Surrender Charges assessed, then the
     amount of the withdrawal will be reduced.

     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.

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. The Company 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 charge. If
     the required payment is not received by the end of the grace period, the
     Policy will terminate with no value.


                                       9
   10


     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 fall to zero or below during such period.

     The No-Lapse Guarantee Period is the first five Policy Years for life
     insureds with an issue age up to and including age 85. It is not offered to
     life insureds whose Issue Age exceeds age 85.

     While the No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect, the Company will determine at
     the beginning of the Policy Month that the Policy would otherwise be in
     default, whether the No-Lapse Guarantee Cumulative Premium Test, described
     in the Policy, 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 is described in the
     notification to the policyowner.

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

     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)  the life insured's risk classification is standard or preferred, and
     (b)  the life insured's Attained Age is less than 46.

     A policyowner can, by making a written request, 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 the life insured's insurability, satisfactory to the
          Company, is provided to the Company;
     (b)  A premium equal to the amount that was required during the 61 day
          grace period following default plus the next two monthly deductions
          must be paid to the Company.

     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

     While the Policy is in force and has an available loan value, a policyowner
     may borrow against the Policy Value of the Policy. The Policy serves as the
     only security for the loan.

     A. AVAILABLE LOAN VALUE

     The amount of any loan cannot exceed 90% of the Net Cash Surrender Value.


                                       10
   11


     B. INTEREST CHARGED ON POLICY LOANS

     Interest on the Policy Debt will accrue daily and be payable annually on
     the Policy Anniversary. During the first ten Policy Years, the rate of
     interest charged will be an effective annual rate of 5.25%. Thereafter the
     rate of interest charged will be an effective annual rate of 4%, subject to
     the Company's reservation of the right to increase the rate if the Company
     determines, in its sole discretion, that there is a substantial risk that a
     loan will be treated as a taxable distribution under Federal tax law. 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
     Cash Surrender 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 principal, plus interest
     to the next Policy Anniversary, 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 4.00%. 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% during the first ten policy years
     and 0% thereafter, and is guaranteed not to exceed 1.25%. The Company may
     change the Current Loan Interest Credited Differential as of 90 days after
     sending you written notice of such change.

     E. LOAN REPAYMENTS

     Policy Debt may be repaid in whole or in part at any time prior to the
     death of the life 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
     associated Loan Sub-Account is reduced to zero and then to each Investment
     Account in the same proportion as the value of the corresponding Loan
     Sub-Account 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. However, when a portion of the Loan Account amount is
     allocated to the Fixed Account, the Company reserves the right to require
     that premium payments be applied as loan repayments.

     F. 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 and the Fixed Account in
     the same proportion as the value in each Investment Account and the Fixed
     Account bears to the Net Policy Value.


                                       11
   12


     G. LOAN REPAYMENTS

     Policy Debt may be repaid in whole or in part at any time prior to the
     death of the life 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
     associated Loan Sub-Account is reduced to zero and then to each Investment
     Account in the same proportion as the value in the corresponding Loan
     Sub-Account 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. However, when a portion of the Loan Account amount is
     allocated to the Fixed Account, the Company reserves the right to require
     that premium payments be applied as loan repayments.
