PRONOUNS
     "Our", "us" or "we" means Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation. "You",
     "your" or "yours" means the insured. If the insured is not the owner,
     "you", "your" or "yours" means the owner when referring to contract rights,
     payments and notices.

PROOF YOU CAN BE INSURED
     When this contract requires you to send us proof that you can be insured,
     the proof must be acceptable to us. We will supply forms or instructions
     for you to provide us that proof. No new stated amount or reinstatement for
     which you apply will take effect until we approve your application. We must
     find that you are in an acceptable risk class. Unless we adopt other rules,
     your risk class must be at least as good as it was when we last approved
     you for insurance.

SUBACCOUNT
     Any subaccounts that may be established within VAR and that correspond to a
     portfolio of a Fund.

VAR
     Ohio National Variable Account R. This is an account that consists of
     assets we have set aside so that their investment results are kept separate
     from those of our general assets. The assets of VAR will be available to
     cover the liabilities of the general account only to the extent that the
     assets of VAR exceed the liabilities of VAR arising under the variable life
     policies in VAR.

VALUATION PERIOD
     That period of time from one determination of accumulation unit values to
     their next determination. Such values will be determined each day that the
     New York Stock Exchange is open for business and any other day on which
     there is sufficient trading to materially affect the value of VAR's assets.


                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

OWNERSHIP
     The owner has all contract rights while the insured is living. After the
     insured's death, the owner only has those rights set forth in the
     beneficiary and proceeds payment options sections. The owner may act
     without the consent of a revocable beneficiary or contingent owner. The
     owner may name a contingent owner or new owner by notice to us.

ASSIGNMENT
     You may assign your rights under this contract as security for a loan or
     debt. We are not bound by an assignment unless we receive notice of it. The
     person to whom you assign your rights has a first claim on proceeds in
     place of you and your beneficiaries.

BENEFICIARY
     You may name beneficiaries in the application or by notice to us or you may
     later name or change beneficiaries by notice to us. If the owner is not the
     insured, the owner may name or change beneficiaries by notice to us at any
     time up to 60 days after your death.

   14


     Beneficiaries have rights in the order named. Contingent beneficiaries will
     only receive proceeds if no prior beneficiary survives you. The rights of a
     beneficiary who dies before you will pass to living beneficiaries of the
     same class. If no beneficiary survives you, death proceeds will be paid to
     the owner.

CONTRACT
     Your application and payment of premiums are your consideration for this
     contract. The entire contract is in your application and this policy. A
     copy of your application is attached. Read it with care. You represent that
     the statements made in your application are true as far as you know and
     believe. We cannot base denial of a claim on any statement you make unless
     it is contained in an attached application.

     As stated in the application, the contract cannot be changed nor our rights
     waived except in writing signed by one of our officers. No agent is
     authorized to make or change a contract on our behalf nor waive any of our
     rights or requirements.

GENERAL ACCOUNT AND VAR
     The general account consists of all our assets other than those we allocate
     to a separate account.

     The separate account to which the variable part of contract values under
     this contract relate is VAR which we have established under Ohio law to
     provide variable benefits. We shall have sole and complete ownership and
     control of all assets in VAR.

INVESTMENTS OF VAR
     All amounts credited to VAR will be used to purchase Fund shares at net
     asset value. Any and all distributions made by the Fund in respect of Fund
     shares held by VAR will be reinvested in Fund shares in the same subaccount
     at net asset value. Deductions and redemptions from VAR may be made by
     redeeming a number of Fund shares, at net asset value, equal in total value
     to the amount to be deducted or redeemed. If deemed by us to be in the best
     interest of all contract owners, VAR may be operated as a management
     company under the Act or it may be deregistered under the Act if
     registration is no longer required.

     If there is a substitution of Fund shares or change in operation of VAR, we
     may issue an endorsement for the contract and take any other action as may
     be necessary and appropriate to make the substitution or change. The
     investment policy of any subaccount of VAR will not be changed without the
     approval of the Ohio director of insurance and that approval will be on
     file with the state insurance regulator of the state where this contract
     was delivered.

VOTING RIGHTS
     We will seek instructions for the voting of Fund shares held on account of
     the variable part of your contract. From time to time, we will send you
     reports on the Fund, proxy material and a form for instructing us how to
     vote Fund shares.

REPORTS
     We will send you an account report at least once each year showing as of
     the date of the report: (1) the accumulation value; (2) the cash surrender
     value; (3) the stated amount; (4) any policy loan; (5) any partial
     withdrawal made since the last report; (6) any interest charge and any
     premium paid since the last report; (7) charges made since the last report;
     and (8) investment experience since the last report.

     We will also make available a projection report. This report will be based
     on planned premiums, guaranteed cost of insurance and guaranteed interest
     if any. It will show the accumulation value one year from the date of the
     report. We may charge a fee, not to exceed $100, if you ask for more than
     one annual projection or account report.

NONPARTICIPATING
     This contract is nonparticipating. It will not share in our divisible
     surplus.

EXCHANGE RIGHT
     For 2 years after the issue date, or for 2 years after any increase in
     stated amount, you may exchange this contract for a flexible premium life
     insurance policy. The accumulation value of the new policy will not vary
     with the investment results of VAR. We will do this by moving, without
     charge, the entire variable accumulation value to the general account. All
     future premium payments will be allocated only to the general account. The
     issue age, premium class and net amount at risk will be the same as those
     of the contract being exchanged.


                                    PREMIUMS

PAYMENT
     Your first premium is due on the contract date. One minimum premium must be
     paid to put this contract in effect. It may be paid to our agent or sent to
     our home office. After the first premium has been paid, subsequent premiums
     can be paid at any time. All later premiums must be sent to our home
     office.

NET PREMIUM
     a) your premium payments; less b) any premium tax that we determine to be
     allocable to the contract; less c) 2% of the premium payment; less d) .90%
     of all premiums paid in the first 20 years following issue.

ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS
     All net premiums paid in the first contract month after the issue date will
     be allocated to the Money Market subaccount. On the first process day after
     the issue date all such net premiums held in the Money Market subaccount
     and each future net premium will be allocated to one or more subaccounts
     and/or the general account based on the allocation percentage specified in
     the application or as later changed by you.

     Any change shall take effect with the first premium we receive after you
     ask for the change to take effect or, if later, as of the end of the
     valuation period during which we receive notice of a change at our home
     office.

PLANNED PREMIUM
     You may pay planned premiums each year, or every 6 months or 3 months. We
     will send you a notice of each planned premium. We may also allow other
     premium payment plans. You may change your planned premium amount, or how
     often it is to be paid, by sending us notice of the change. We may limit
     the amount of increase in your planned premium. Each planned premium must
     be at least $25.

EXTRA PREMIUM
     You may pay extra premiums (more than planned) at any time prior to the
     maturity date. If you have a loan, extra premiums will first be applied to
     reduce or pay off the loan. We may limit the amount and number of extra
     premiums which may be paid.

     Premiums that can be paid under this contract, without an increase in death
     benefit, can be no more than allowed by the federal law that defines life
     insurance. If a premium payment would exceed this limit, you can increase
     your stated amount to allow that premium. To do this, you must apply in
     writing and send us proof you can be insured. If you do not increase your
     stated amount, we will refund premium in excess of the limit.

MINIMUM PREMIUM REQUIREMENT
     The minimum premium requirement is met if, on each process day (a) is equal
     to or greater than (b) where:

          (a)  is the sum of all premiums paid less any partial surrenders and
               less any loan amount, and

          (b)  is the sum of the minimum premium since the policy date,
               including the minimum premium for the current process day.

     Although we will determine each month whether or not you have met the
     minimum premium requirement, you do not have to pay premiums monthly.

POLICY CHANGES AFFECTING THE MINIMUM PREMIUM REQUIREMENT
     The minimum monthly premiums will be affected by any change in stated
     amount or change of proceeds plan. The minimum premium may also be changed
     when a rider is added to or removed from this contract. We will send you
     notice of the change in minimum premium.

DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE
     If you meet the minimum premium requirement, we guarantee that this
     contract will not lapse during the death benefit guarantee period shown on
     Page 3 even if the investment performance of VAR has caused the cash
     surrender value to fall below the amount needed to pay the monthly charges
     due.

     If the minimum premium requirement is not met on any process day, we will
     send you notice of the required payment. If we do not receive the required
     payment within 61 days of the date it is due, the death benefit guarantee
     is no longer in effect and the guarantee cannot be reinstated.

     We will assess a charge per $1,000 of stated amount for each month the
     death benefit guarantee is in effect. The amount of this charge is shown on
     Page 3.

GRACE PERIOD
     A premium is due on any process day on which the cash surrender value, less
     loans in effect, is not enough to cover the charges then due. The required
     premium will equal the amount needed to allow the cash surrender value less
     loans in effect to cover 2 monthly charges. We will mail you, and any
     assignee of record, notice of the amount due. The contract will stay
     inforce for 61 days after the due date of the required premium, but not
     past the maturity date. If you do not pay the required premium by the end
     of this grace period, the contract will end with no value. We will send you
     a notice, at your last known address, 30 days before the contract ends. If
     death occurs during a grace period, any required premium then due will be
     subtracted from the death proceeds.

REINSTATEMENT
     If this contract ends for failure to pay a required premium, you may
     reinstate it within 5 years if:

          (1)  you apply to reinstate this contract and send us proof you can be
               insured;

          (2)  we approve your application;

          (3)  you pay enough premium to keep the contract inforce for at least
               2 months;

          (4)  you pay the monthly charges due from the grace period; and

          (5)  you pay or reinstate any loans then in effect with interest at 6%
               per year.

     You may not reinstate this contract after the maturity date.

CHANGES IN COVERAGE
     At any time after the first contract year, you may request a change in the
     stated amount to increase or decrease your coverage. The change must be at
     least $5,000. If we approve the change, we will send you notice of the
     change. The change will take effect on the first day of the next contract
     month. We may limit you to 2 changes per contract year.

     INCREASE. To request an increase in the stated amount, you must apply in
     writing and send us proof you can be insured.

     Any premium paid contingent upon our approval of an increase in stated
     amount will be held by us in our general account, without interest, until
     the increase takes effect. Premium will be applied to the increase in
     proportion to the guideline premium for the increase to the guideline
     premium for the original stated amount plus the guideline premium for all
     increases in stated amount.

     You have a right to cancel any increase within 20 days after you receive
     notice of the increase, or 10 days after we mail notice of your right to
     cancel this increase, or if later, within 45 days after the date of your
     application for increase. You must give notice to us or to our agent within
     that time. We will refund the monthly charges and any other charges from
     that increase.

     so. Any decrease will be applied against prior increases in the reverse
     order in which the increases were made. You may not decrease the stated
     amount in the first contract year. You may not decrease the stated amount
     to less than the minimum stated amount shown on page 3. The surrender
     charge will be taken for decreases.

CHANGE OF PROCEEDS PLANS
     At any time after the first 2 contract years, you may change from Plan B to
     Plan A by notice to us. The stated amount will then be increased by an
     amount equal to the accumulation value on the date of the change. At any
     time after the first 2 contract years, you may change from Plan A to Plan B
     by notice to us. The stated amount will then be decreased by an amount
     equal to the accumulation value on the date of change. When we change your
     proceeds plan, we will send you notice of the change. You may not make a
     change that will decrease the stated amount to less than the minimum stated
     amount shown on page 3.

EXTENDED ENDOWMENT
     You may choose to continue your contract after the maturity date. You must
     give notice to us before the maturity date. Your death proceeds after the
     maturity date will equal the accumulation value less any loans in effect on
     the date of death. No additional premiums are payable and none may be made
     after the maturity date. We will continue to credit interest on the
     accumulation value of the contract after the maturity date at a rate that
     we will then determine, but not less than 4.0% per year.


                                  NONFORFEITURE

ACCUMULATION VALUE
     The accumulation value is equal to the sum of: (1) the fixed accumulation
     value, plus (2) the variable accumulation value, plus (3) the loan
     collateral.

FIXED ACCUMULATION VALUE
     The fixed accumulation value is: (1) the fixed accumulation value as of the
     prior process day less the charges on that process day, plus interest from
     that process day; plus (2) net premiums credited to the general account
     since the prior process day, plus interest from the date premiums are
     credited; plus (3) transfers from VAR to the general account since the last
     process day, plus interest from the date of transfer; less (4) transfers to
     VAR from the general account since the prior process day, plus interest
     from the date of transfer; less (5) partial surrenders from the general
     account since the last process day, plus interest from the date of
     surrender; less (6) policy loans taken from the general account since the
     last process day, plus interest from the date taken.

     The fixed accumulation value excludes loan collateral held in the general
     account.

INTEREST FOR THE FIXED ACCUMULATION VALUE
     Each month, we will credit interest on the fixed accumulation value at an
     effective rate of at least 4% per year.

INTEREST ON LOAN COLLATERAL
     Each Month, we will credit interest on the loan collateral at an effective
     rate of at least 4.0%. The rate credited to the portion of the loan
     collateral which qualifies for preferred loans may be different from that
     applied to the remaining loan collateral.

DETERMINATION OF VALUES FOR THE GENERAL ACCOUNT
     Minimum cash surrender values are calculated using the 1980 Commissioners'
     Standard Ordinary mortality table, male or female, smoker or nonsmoker, age
     nearest birthday, with interest at the rate of 4%. A detailed statement of
     the way we compute cash surrender or loan values has been filed with the
     state insurance officials. All values comply with state law and are at
     least as great as the minimum required by law.

VARIABLE ACCUMULATION VALUE
     The variable accumulation value is the total of your values in each
     subaccount. Each subaccount is valued by multiplying the number of
     accumulation units by the current unit value.

VARIABLE ACCUMULATION UNITS
     We will credit this contract with variable accumulation units in relation
     to the amount of each net premium allocated to each subaccount. To find the
     number of variable accumulation units credited to each subaccount, divide
     the amount allocated to that subaccount by the variable accumulation unit
     value of that subaccount for the valuation period during which we receive
     the premium at our home office.

     The number of variable accumulation units for a subaccount will increase
     when: (1) net premiums are credited to that subaccount; (2) transfers from
     the general account or other subaccounts are credited to that subaccount;
     or (3) policy loans are repaid or interest is credited from amounts held as
     loan collateral in the general account. The number of variable accumulation
     units for a subaccount will decrease when: (1) a policy loan is taken from
     that subaccount; (2) partial surrender is taken from that subaccount; (3) a
     portion of the monthly charges is taken from that subaccount; or (4)
     transfers are made from that subaccount to the general account or other
     subaccounts.

UNIT VALUE
     The value of each variable accumulation unit was set at $10 when the first
     premium was allocated to each subaccount. The value of a variable
     accumulation unit for each subaccount varies for each later valuation
     period. This value is found by multiplying the value of a variable
     accumulation unit of that subaccount for the immediately preceding
     valuation period by the net investment factor for the subaccount for the
     valuation period for which the variable accumulation unit value is being
     determined. The value of a variable accumulation unit for any valuation
     period is determined as of the end of that valuation period.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
     The net investment factor for a subaccount is found by dividing (a) by (b),
     then subtracting (c) from the result, where (a) is: (1) the net asset value
     of a Fund share in that subaccount determined as of the end of a valuation
     period; plus (2) the per share amount of any dividends or other
     distribution declared by the Fund during the valuation period; adjusted by
     (3) a per share charge or credit with respect to any taxes paid or reserved
     for, which we determine to be attributable to the maintenance or operation
     of the subaccount; (b) is the net asset value of a Fund share in that
     subaccount, adjusted by a per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved
     for or paid, determined as of the end of the prior valuation period; and
     (c) is a charge not to exceed .0020471% for each day in the valuation
     period. This converts to 0.75% per year for mortality and expense risks.
     Although we can not identify that part of the current risk charge that
     applies to each of the risks involved, we estimate that a reasonable
     allocation would be 0.30% for the mortality risk, and 0.45% for the expense
     risk.

INVESTMENT CREDIT
     The mortality and expense risk charge will be reduced when the total
     accumulation value exceeds certain levels. The reduction applies only to
     the portion of the accumulation value in excess of those levels, and will
     be applied to the various subaccounts pro-rata. At the end of each contract
     month, we calculate the reduction based on the current accumulation value.
     Any accumulation value in excess of 4 times the premium shown on Page 6A
     receives a reduction in mortality and expense charges equivalent to .45%
     per year. Accumulation value in excess of 8 times that premium receives a
     reduction in mortality and expense charges equivalent to .55% per year.

SPLITTING UNITS
     We reserve the right to split the value of the accumulation units. In any
     such split of unit values, strict equity will be preserved. Such a split
     will have no material effect on the benefits or other terms of this
     contract. A split may either increase or decrease the number of units.

TRANSFERS AMONG SUBACCOUNTS AND GENERAL ACCOUNT
     By notice to us, you may transfer your accumulation value from one
     subaccount to another subaccount or to the general account at any time. The
     sum of transfers from the general account to one or more subaccounts is
     limited during any contract year. The limit is the greater of 25% of the
     general account portion of the accumulation value as of the end of the last
     prior contract year, or $1,000. The dollar amount of a transfer must be at
     least $300, but the entire accumulation value of a subaccount or the
     general account may be transferred if less than $300. No transfer of
     accumulation value may be made after your death. Transfers shall be made as
     of the end of the valuation period during which we receive the request at
     our home office or at the end of any later valuation period as you may
     request. A fee, of not more than $15, will be charged for each transfer.
     Currently, this fee is $3.

TAXES
     Any taxes that pertain to this contract or VAR will be charged against the
     accumulation value when incurred or reserved for by us.

MONTHLY CHARGES
     The charges for a contract month are: (1) the cost of insurance for the
     month (which includes the charges for any riders); plus (2) a contract
     maintenance charge of $7; plus (3) the death benefit guarantee charge per
     $1,000 of stated amount as shown on Page 3.

COST OF INSURANCE
     We calculate the cost of insurance for each month as of each process day.
     The cost of insurance for the initial stated amount is determined
     separately from the cost for each increase in stated amount.

     The cost of insurance equals: (1) the cost of insurance rate; times (2) the
     net amount at risk.

COST OF INSURANCE RATE
     The cost of insurance rate (or any change in that rate) for each stated
     amount is based on: (1) your sex; (2) your attained age on the contract
     date and on the effective date of each increase in stated amount; (3) the
     time elapsed since the contract date and since each increase in stated
     amount; and (4) your rate class.




- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FORM 00-VL-1         OHIO NATIONAL LIFE ASSURANCE CORPORATION           PAGE 15

   21


     We may change the cost of insurance rate. Any change in the cost of
     insurance rates will be uniformly applied to all contracts of this class.
     We will notify you prior to any change. We may not increase the rates to
     more than those shown in the table of monthly guaranteed cost of insurance
     rates on page 6. The guaranteed rates are based on the 1980 Commissioner
     Standard Ordinary, Male or Female, Smoker or Nonsmoker mortality table, age
     nearest birthday.

NET AMOUNT AT RISK
     The net amount at risk on any process day equals the death proceeds divided
     by 1.0032737, less the accumulation value.

     If you have Plan A and the stated amount has been increased, the
     accumulation value will first be subtracted from the initial stated amount
     to determine the net amount at risk. If the accumulation value is more than
     the initial stated amount, the excess will be subtracted from each increase
     in the stated amount in the order made.

SURRENDER AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE
     While you are living and before the maturity date, you may request the
     surrender of this contract by notice to us. We will then pay you the cash
     surrender value, less any loans in effect. The contract will then end. The
     cash surrender value is the accumulation value less our surrender charge.
     If the surrender charge is greater than the accumulation value, the cash
     surrender value is zero.

SURRENDER CHARGE
     We will take a surrender charge on complete surrender, lapse, decrease in
     stated amount and certain partial surrenders. During the first 15 contract
     years or for 15 years after you increase your stated amount, this charge
     will apply. The charge is shown on page 6A.

SURRENDER CHARGE ON DECREASES
     If you decrease your stated amount, a portion of the surrender charge will
     be deducted from your accumulation value. This deduction is equal to the
     surrender charge attributable to the portion of stated amount being
     decreased. The surrender charge that remains will be the surrender charge
     that applies to the remaining stated amount.

PARTIAL SURRENDER
     After 1 year from the issue date, you may surrender part of your contract
     for cash while you are living and before the maturity date. You may not do
     this more than twice in any contract year. The amount of a partial
     surrender may not exceed: (1) the cash surrender value; less (2) loans in
     effect; less (3) enough to cover the next 2 monthly charges; and less (4)
     the partial surrender service fee which is the lesser of $25 or 2% of the
     amount surrendered. We will subtract the accumulation value taken by a
     partial surrender from each increase in the stated amount in the proportion
     of that increase to the total stated amount. The accumulation value is
     reduced by the amount of partial surrender. If you have Plan A, the stated
     amount is also reduced by the amount of partial surrender.

     No partial surrender will be made if it would reduce the stated amount to
     less than the minimum stated amount shown on page 3. We will charge a
     service fee of the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount surrendered for each
     partial surrender. For the first 15 contract years and for 15 years after
     an increase takes effect, an added partial surrender charge will also be
     made on the amount of partial surrenders in a contract year that is more
     than 10% of the cash surrender value as of the end of the last prior
     contract year. This added partial surrender charge will equal a partial
     surrender ratio multiplied by the surrender charge. The partial surrender
     ratio equals: (1) the amount of partial surrender in excess of 10% of the
     cash surrender value as of the last prior contract year; divided by (2) the
     cash surrender value. The surrender charge will be reduced by the added
     partial surrender charge.

   22


DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT ON SURRENDER, PARTIAL SURRENDERS AND LOANS
     We may defer the calculation and payment of accumulation values or benefits
     if: (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary week-end
     and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
     restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission; (2) the
     Commission by order permits postponement for the protection of contract
     owners; or (3) an emergency exists, as determined by the Securities and
     Exchange Commission, as a result of which disposal of securities is not
     reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the
     value of VAR's net assets.

     We can defer making a surrender, partial surrender, or loan from the
     general account for up to 6 months after we get your notice. If we defer
     for more than a month, the cash surrender value will bear interest at the
     rate of 4.5% per year. We cannot defer a loan to pay premiums on any
     contract issued by us.

PAID-UP TERM INSURANCE
     If you stop paying premiums, the contract can continue and operate as
     paid-up term insurance. The monthly charges for calculating the cost of
     paid-up term insurance will be the same as those as when premiums were
     being paid. The paid-up term period will run (a) for as long as the cash
     surrender value less loans will purchase term insurance protection or (b)
     until the maturity date, whichever is earlier. If the death benefit
     guarantee is in effect, the insurance will continue as long as this
     guarantee applies.

PAID-UP LIFE INSURANCE
     On any process day, you may use the cash surrender value less any loans in
     effect as a net single premium to purchase a paid-up endowment at age 100.
     The insurance will begin on that process day. The amount of insurance will
     be that which the cash surrender value less any loans in effect will buy as
     a net single premium at the insured's then attained age. This option may
     not be elected if the amount of paid-up insurance purchased would be less
     than $1,000. At any time after this option is elected the cash surrender
     value will be the amount of paid-up life insurance times the net single
     premium per dollar of paid-up life insurance at the then attained age of
     the insured. The net single premiums are based on the 1980 Commissioners'
     Standard Ordinary, Male or Female, Smoker or Nonsmoker mortality table age
     nearest birthday and 4% interest.


                                      LOANS

AVAILABILITY
     At any time after the first contract year, you may borrow up to the loan
     value of this contract by notice to us. Loans are made on the security of
     this contract assigned to us.

LOAN VALUE
     The loan value is the cash surrender value less the cost of insurance
     charges for your contract from the current date to the next policy
     anniversary. In no case will the loan value be less than 90% of the cash
     surrender value.

GROSS LOAN VALUE
     The gross loan value is the cash surrender value less enough to cover the
     monthly charges to the next policy anniversary. The gross loan value is not
     reduced by any existing loans.

PREFERRED LOANS
     A preferred loan is available at any time on or after the 10th contract
     anniversary. In the first contract year in which you take a preferred loan,
     the maximum preferred loan available is 10% of the gross loan value. In
     later contract years, you may increase your preferred loan by an amount not
     greater than 10% of the gross loan value. The total amount of the preferred
     loan amount may never exceed the gross loan value. The interest rate
     credited to the accumulation value equal to the loaned amount under this
     preferred loan provision is described in the INTEREST ON LOAN COLLATERAL
     section of the NONFORFEITURE provision.

FORM 00-VL-1         OHIO NATIONAL LIFE ASSURANCE CORPORATION           PAGE 17

   23


LOAN COLLATERAL
     Accumulation value equal to the amount of the policy loan will be taken
     from the general account and each subaccount. The allocation will be in
     proportion to the accumulation value in each subaccount and the general
     account. This value will be held in the general account as loan collateral
     and will earn interest at an effective rate not less than 4% per year. We
     may credit a higher rate.

INTEREST
     Interest is charged on loans at 5.0% per year in advance, except for
     Preferred Loans. Interest is charged on Preferred Loans at 3.846%. When a
     loan is made, we will include the interest then due in the amount of the
     loan. If you do not pay the interest in cash, we will transfer enough value
     from the general account and each subaccount to cover the interest due. The
     allocation of the transfer will be in proportion to the accumulation value
     in each subaccount and the general account.

REPAYMENT
     You may pay back a loan at any time before we pay the contract proceeds.
     When a loan repayment is made, the loan collateral in the general account
     will be reduced by the amount of the repayment. The value of the repayment
     will be allocated first to the general account. After the general account
     is repaid, any additional repayment will be allocated to the general
     account and each subaccount using the same percentages used to allocate net
     premiums unless you give notice otherwise.

     Loans which have not yet been paid back will be repaid from death or
     maturity proceeds.

                                     CLAIMS

PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS
     Death proceeds will be paid within 30 days after we receive due proof of
     death of the insured. Proceeds are paid at our home office. Payment will be
     made in one sum unless an option is chosen. We may require that the
     contract be sent to us before proceeds are paid.

     Death proceeds include interest at the rate of at least 4.5% per year from
     the date of death to the date proceeds are paid or applied under an option.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
     If your age or sex was misstated, the death proceeds will be 1.0032737
     times the sum of:

          (1)  the accumulation value; and

          (2)  the net amount at risk on the date of death multiplied by an age
               adjustment ratio.

     The age adjustment ratio is: (a) the cost of insurance charged on the
     process day nearest the date of death, divided by (b) the cost of insurance
     that should have been charged at your true age or sex. In no case will the
     adjusted proceeds be less than the accumulation value plus a percentage of
     the accumulation value which varies with your true attained age according
     to the table on page 12.

     If the misstatement is found before your death, we will charge from that
     time the cost of insurance for your true age and sex based on your original
     stated amount.

PROCEEDS PROTECTION
     No one may commute, assign or encumber the proceeds or cash surrender value
     unless this contract so provides. As far as allowed by law, no creditor may
     claim the proceeds.

   24


INCONTESTABILITY
     We may not deny a claim for any amount of death proceeds due to a false
     statement made in your application for such amount of insurance if: (a) you
     live more than 2 years after such amount takes effect; and (b) the contract
     is inforce at the time of your death. We may always contest for non-payment
     of premiums.

SUICIDE
     If you die by suicide, while sane or insane, or self destruction while
     insane we will not pay any stated amount or increase in stated amount which
     has been in effect for less than 2 years. If the suicide or self
     destruction is within the first 2 contract years, we will pay as death
     proceeds the cash surrender value or, if greater, the premiums you paid.
     After that, we will pay the death proceeds of any coverage which has been
     in effect for more than 2 years plus any premium applied to an increase
     which has been in effect for less than 2 years before the suicide or self
     destruction.


                            PROCEEDS PAYMENT OPTIONS

CHOICE OF OPTIONS
     BY OWNER. The choice or change of an option requires notice to us. If the
     owner is not the insured, the owner may choose or change an option while
     the insured is living or up to 60 days after the insured's death. If an
     option is chosen for death proceeds, the payee, or one of the payees, must
     be the beneficiary. A beneficiary change revokes any option chosen for the
     beneficiary.

     BY OTHERS. If you did not choose an option, the beneficiary may do so. An
     assignee may not choose or change an option. Proceeds to an assignee will
     be paid in one sum.

     Proceeds to be paid to a corporation may be applied under option 2 or 4
     with the corporation, the insured or the insured's spouse or child as
     payee. If we agree:

          (1)  anyone else related to the insured by blood or marriage may be
               the payee; or

          (2)  the corporation may also choose option 3 or 5 with any of these
               related persons as payee and with payments made to the
               corporation or to the payee.

     Proceeds to be paid to a partnership, association, trustee or estate may be
     paid under an option on the same basis as for a corporation.

MINIMUM AMOUNTS
     An option may not be used if proceeds are less than $5,000. Payment will
     then be made in one sum.

     If payments to a payee would be less than $25, we may pay less often so
     that each payment will be at least $25.

DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS
     We will endorse this contract or issue a new contract or certificate to
     show the terms of any option. The option date is the date proceeds come due
     or a later date which you request and we approve. The life income options
     are based on the payee's sex and age. We may require proof of a payee's age
     and survival.

PROCEEDS AT INTEREST
     OPTION 1

     We will hold the proceeds at interest at the rate of at least 4.5% per
     year. You may choose to receive interest each year, or every 6 months, 3
     months or 1 month from the option date. Under the terms of this option, we
     may limit:

          (1)  the payee's right to withdraw the proceeds; and

          (2)  the length of time proceeds are to be held.

     Interest to be paid on each $1,000 held by us will be:


        ANNUAL          SEMIANNUAL         QUARTERLY           MONTHLY
      ---------       -------------      -------------      ------------

PAYMENTS FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD
     OPTION 2

     We will make equal payments for a stated number of years. Payments will be
     made, as you choose, each year, or every 6 months, 3 months or 1 month.
     Payment amounts are based on the option 2 table on page 5. The first
     payment is due on the option date. Under the terms of the option, we may
     limit the payee's right to withdraw the proceeds.

LIFE INCOME
     OPTION 3

     The first payment is due on the option date. Payment amounts are based on
     the option 3 table on page 5.

          NONREFUND. We will make payments in the same amount each month while
          the payee is living. No more payments are due after the payee's death.

          GUARANTEED PERIOD. We will make payments in the same amount each month
          for 5, 10 or 20 years, as you choose. After that, we will still make
          payments in the same amount each month for as long as the payee is
          living.

          INSTALLMENT REFUND. We will make payments in the same amount each
          month until the sum of all payments equals the proceeds applied under
          this option. After that, we will still pay each month for as long as
          the payee is living.

PAYMENTS OF A CERTAIN AMOUNT
     OPTION 4

     We will make payments in the same amount, as you choose, each year, or
     every 6 months, 3 months or 1 month until all the proceeds are paid. The
     amount of each payment will be as you have chosen and we have approved.
     Interest will be added to the proceeds at the rate of 4.5% per year on the
     unpaid balance. We may determine and announce a higher rate from time to
     time. The first payment is due on the option date. The last payment will
     equal the unpaid balance of proceeds. Under the terms of this option, we
     may limit the payee's right to withdraw the proceeds.

JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME
     OPTION 5

     These options are for 2 payees. The first payment is due on the option
     date. Payment amounts are based on the option 5 table on page 5.

          JOINT GUARANTEED PERIOD 10 YEARS. We will make payments in the same
          amount each month for 10 years. After that, we will still make
          payments in the same amount each month for as long as one of the
          payees is living.

          JOINT AND FULL. We will make payments in the same amount each month as
          long as one of the payees is living.

          JOINT AND 2/3. We will make full payments in the same amount each
          month for as long as both of the payees are living. After one payee's
          death, 2/3 of that amount will still be paid each month for as long as
          the other payee is living.


ALTERNATE LIFE INCOME
     You may choose other income amounts for options 3 and 5 in place of those
     shown on page 5. Such amounts will be based on rates at least as liberal as
     the rates we charge as of the option date for a single premium immediate
     annuity of the same kind.

DEATH OF PAYEE
     If all payees have died, we will make one final payment to the estate of
     the last surviving payee for any amount then due.

     For option 1 or 4, the amount then due will be any balance held by us. For
     option 2, 3 or 5, the amount then due will be the present value of unpaid
     guaranteed payments commuted at the rate of 4.5% per year. We will specify
     the commutation rate when you choose the alternate life income for option 3
     or 5.
