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 not subject to the provisions of this law. Otherwise, your signature on this application is certification that the taxpayer identification number on this application is true, correct, and complete. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12.

THE CONTRACT VALUE MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE ON ANY DAY, DEPENDING ON THE INVESTMENT RETURN FOR THE POLICY. NO MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE IS GUARANTEED.
