TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Under the Interest and Dividend Compliance Act of 1983, persons owning insurance policies are required to provide the Company with certification that their taxpayer identification number is correct. (For most individuals, this is their Social Security Number.) If you do not provide us with certification of this number, you may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, we will be forced to withhold 31% from interest and other payments we make to you (known as backup withholding). It is not an additional tax, since the amount withheld will be applied against the tax you owe. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained. |_| Check this box if the Internal Revenue Service has notified you that you are subject to backup withholding. OTHERWISE, YOUR SIGNATURE ON THIS APPLICATION IS CERTIFICATION THAT THE TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ON THIS APPLICATION IS TRUE, CORRECT, AND COMPLETE. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE DOES NOT REQUIRE YOUR CONSENT TO ANY PROVISION OF THIS DOCUMENT OTHER THAN THE CERTIFICATIONS REQUIRED TO AVOID BACKUP WITHHOLDING. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26. IMPORTANT NOTICE - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEATH BENEFIT UNDER A VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE, DEPENDING ON THE INVESTMENT RETURN ON THE SUBACCOUNT(S) I SELECT. REGARDLESS OF INVESTMENT RETURN, THE DEATH BENEFIT CAN NEVER BE LESS THAN THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT, AS LONG AS THE POLICY IS IN FORCE. THE CASH VALUE MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE ON ANY DAY, DEPENDING ON THE INVESTMENT RETURN FOR THE POLICY. NO MINIMUM CASH VALUE IS GUARANTEED. ON REQUEST, WE WILL FURNISH ILLUSTRATIONS OF BENEFITS, INCLUDING DEATH BENEFITS AND CASH VALUES FOR A VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY AND A FIXED LIFE INSURANCE POLICY FOR THE SAME PREMIUM. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27.
