I.       Procedures Relating to Purchase and Issuance of the Policies and
         Acceptance of Premiums


         A.       Offer of the Policies, Application, Initial Premium, and
                  Issuance


                  Offer of the Policies. The Policies are offered and issued
                  pursuant to underwriting standards in accordance with state
                  insurance laws for an initial premium determined by the owner,
                  who also has the flexibility to determine the frequency and
                  the amount of premiums to be paid under the Policy. However,
                  before the Policy is issued, the Company may require the owner
                  to pay a premium at least equal to a minimum monthly guarantee
                  premium set forth in the Policy. Insurance is based on the
                  principle of pooling and distribution of mortality risks,
                  which assumes that each owner pays an initial premium
                  commensurate with the insured's mortality risk as actuarially
                  determined utilizing factors such as age, gender, and rate
                  class of the insured. Uniform premiums for all insureds would
                  discriminate unfairly in favor of those insureds representing
                  greater risk. Although there is no uniform premium for all
                  insureds, there is a uniform premium for all insureds of the
                  same rate class, age, and gender and same specified amount.

                  Application. Persons wishing to purchase a Policy must
                  complete an application and submit it to the Company through
                  any licensed life insurance agent who is also a registered
                  representative of a broker-dealer having a selling agreement
                  with the principal underwriter for the Policy. The application
                  must specify the name of the insured(s) and provide certain
                  required information about the insured. The application is
                  generally accompanied by an initial premium, and designates
                  premium allocation percentages and the death benefit option
                  selected, and names the beneficiary. The initial premium is
                  determined by the owner, although, before the Policy is
                  issued, the Company may require the owner to pay a premium at
                  least equal to a minimum monthly guarantee premium set

                                       1


                  forth in the Policy. Additional premium payments must be at
                  least $50 if paid monthly and $600 if paid annually (and
                  $1,000 if by wire).

                  The owner selects the specified amount for a Policy based on
                  the premium to be paid and other characteristics of the
                  proposed insured, such as age, gender and rate class. The
                  current minimum specified amount for a Policy when issued is
                  $100,000 for issue ages 0-49. The minimum specified amount
                  decreases to $50,000 for issue ages 50-85. The Company will
                  not issue a Policy if the insured is over age 85.

                  Receipt of Application and Underwriting. Upon receipt of the
                  initial premium and a completed application in good order from
                  an applicant, the Company will follow underwriting procedures
                  for life insurance designed to determine whether the proposed
                  insured is insurable. This process may involve such
                  verification procedures as medical examinations and may
                  require that further information be provided about the
                  proposed insured before a determination can be made.

                  The underwriting process determines the rate class to which
                  the insured is assigned if the application is accepted. The
                  Policy uses mortality tables that distinguish between men and
                  women; as a result, the Policy pays different benefits to men
                  and women of the same age. The Company currently places
                  insureds in the following standard rate classes:

                  o    ultimate select (preferred) non-tobacco use;

                  o    select (non-preferred), non-tobacco use;

                  o    ultimate standard (preferred) tobacco use;

                  o    standard (non-preferred) tobacco use; and

                  o    juvenile (under age 18).


                                       2


                  The Company also places insureds in various sub-standard rate
                  classes, which involve a higher mortality risk and higher
                  charges. The Company generally charges higher rates for
                  insureds who use tobacco. The Company charges lower cost of
                  insurance rates to insureds who are in an "ultimate" class. An
                  ultimate class is only available if, because of the specified
                  amount the owner has chosen, the Company's underwriting
                  guidelines require the insured to take a blood test.

                  The Company reserves the right to reject an application for
                  any reason permitted by law. If an application is rejected,
                  any premium received will be returned promptly, without
                  interest. The insured must be insurable and acceptable to the
                  Company under its underwriting rules on the later of the date
                  of the application or the date the insured completes all
                  required medical tests and examinations.

                  Issuance of Policy. If (1) the Company's underwriting process
                  is complete; (2) the application has been approved; (3) an
                  initial premium of sufficient amount has been received; and
                  (4) the insured is alive and in the same condition of health
                  as described in the application when the Policy is delivered
                  to the owner, then full life insurance coverage goes into
                  effect, the Policy is issued, and the Company begins to make
                  the monthly deductions. This is the Policy date. The Policy
                  date is shown on the schedule page of the Policy, and the
                  Company measures Policy months, years, and anniversaries from
                  the Policy date. The Policy date is generally the record date,
                  which is the date the Company records the Policy on the books
                  as an in force Policy, unless the Policy is backdated.

                  Backdating. If the owner requests, the Company may backdate a
                  Policy by assigning a Policy date earlier than the date the
                  Policy is issued. However, in no event will a Policy


                                       3


                  be backdated earlier than the earliest date allowed by state
                  law or by the Company's underwriting rules. A backdating
                  request must be in writing and, if approved, will amend the
                  application. Cost of insurance charges are based in part on
                  the age of the insured on the Policy date or on the date of
                  any increase in specified amount. Generally, cost of insurance
                  charges are lower at a younger age. The Company will deduct
                  the monthly deduction, including cost of insurance charges,
                  for the period that the Policy is backdated.

                  Initial Premium and Conditional Coverage. If an applicant pays
                  the full initial premium listed in the conditional receipt
                  attached to the application, and the Company delivers the
                  conditional receipt to the applicant, the insured will have
                  conditional insurance coverage under the terms of the
                  conditional receipt. Conditional coverage becomes effective on
                  the later of:

                  o    the date of the application; or

                  o    the date the insured completes all of the medical tests
                       and examinations; or

                  o    the date of issue, if any, requested on the application.

                  The amount of conditional coverage is the lesser of the
                  specified amount applied for or $300,000, reduced by all
                  amounts payable under all life insurance applications that the
                  insured has in force or pending with the Company. The
                  conditional receipt does not provide benefits for disability
                  and accidental death benefits, nor if any proposed insured
                  commits suicide. If a proposed insured commits suicide, the
                  Company's liability will be limited to return of the first
                  premium paid with the application.
                  Conditional insurance coverage is void if the check or draft
                  provided to pay the initial premium is not honored when the
                  Company first presents it for payment. The conditional receipt
                  is void if:

                                       4


                  o    it is not signed by an authorized agent of Western
                       Reserve;

                  o    the application contains any fraud or material
                       misrepresentation; or

                  o    on the date of the conditional receipt, the proposed
                       insured is under 15 days of age or over 85 years of age.

                  Conditional coverage automatically terminates on the earliest
                  of:

                  o    the date the Company determines the insured has satisfied
                       underwriting requirements and the insurance applied for
                       takes effect (the Policy date);

                  o    60 days from the date the application was completed;

                  o    the date the Company determines that any person proposed
                       for insurance in the application is not insurable;

                  o    the date the Company modifies the plan, amount, riders,
                       and/or the premium rate class shown in the application,
                       or any supplemental agreements; or

                  o    the date the Company mails notice of the ending of
                       coverage and refunds the first premium to the applicant
                       at the address shown on the application.

                  Tax-Free Exchanges (1035 Exchanges). The Company will accept
                  part or all of the initial premium from one or more contracts
                  insuring the same insured that qualify for a tax-free exchange
                  under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").
                  Subject to underwriting requirements, the owner may make one
                  additional cash payment within three business days of receipt
                  of the proceeds from the 1035 Exchange before the Company
                  finalizes the Policy's specified amount.

         B.       Additional Premiums


                  Additional Premiums Permitted. The owner generally has
                  flexibility to determine the frequency and the amount of the
                  premiums to be paid under the Policy. Premium


                                       5


                  payments must be at least $50 if paid monthly and $600 if paid
                  annually (and $1,000 if by wire). The Company may return
                  premiums less than $50. The Company will not allow the owner
                  to make additional premium payments if it would cause the
                  total premiums paid to exceed the current maximum premium
                  limitations which qualify the Policy as life insurance
                  according to federal tax laws and regulations. If the owner
                  makes a premium payment that would cause the total premiums to
                  be greater than the maximum premium limitations, the Company
                  will return any excess portion of the premium payment. The
                  Company will not permit any additional premium payments until
                  they are allowed by the maximum premium limitations. The
                  Company also reserves the right to refund a premium if such
                  premium would increase the death benefit by more than the
                  amount of the premium.

                  An owner may pay premiums by any method the Company deems
                  acceptable. The Company will also accept premium payments by
                  wire transfer. The Company will treat any payment made as a
                  premium payment unless it is clearly marked as a loan
                  repayment.

         C.       Crediting Premiums

                  Initial Premium. Depending on the laws of the state governing
                  the Policy (usually the state where the insured lives), the
                  Company will allocate the initial net premium on the record
                  date either to the reallocation account (which is the portion
                  of the fixed account where the Company holds the premium(s)
                  until the reallocation date) or to the fixed account and the
                  subaccounts selected on the Policy application. If the laws of
                  the state governing the Policy do not require a refund of full
                  premium, then the Company will allocate the initial net
                  premium(s), minus monthly deductions, to the accounts
                  selected.

                                       6


                  If the applicant's state requires the Company to return the
                  initial premium in the event the free-look period is
                  exercised, then the Company will allocate the net premium to
                  the reallocation account until the reallocation date. On the
                  first valuation date on or after the reallocation date (which
                  is the record date, plus the number of days in the applicable
                  state's free-look period, plus five days), the Company will
                  reallocate all cash value held in the reallocation account to
                  the fixed account and subaccounts selected on the application.
                  If the owner selected dollar cost averaging on the
                  application, on the reallocation date the Company will
                  allocate the Policy's cash value either to the fixed account,
                  the money market subaccount, or the bond subaccount (depending
                  on which account the owner selected on the application). While
                  held in the reallocation account, net premium(s) will be
                  credited with interest at the current fixed account rate and
                  reduced by any monthly deductions due.

                  On any day that the Company credits premiums or transfers cash
                  value to a subaccount, the Company will convert the dollar
                  amount of the net premium (or transfer) into subaccount units
                  at the unit value for that subaccount, determined at the end
                  of that valuation date. The Company will credit amounts to the
                  subaccounts only on a valuation date, that is, on a date the
                  New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading.

         D.       Planned Periodic Payments


                  The owner determines a planned periodic payment schedule which
                  allows the owner to pay level premiums at fixed intervals over
                  a specified period of time. The owner is not required to pay
                  premiums according to this schedule. The owner may change the
                  amount, frequency, and the time period over which the owner
                  makes planned periodic payments.

                                       7


                  Even if the owner makes planned periodic payments on schedule,
                  the Policy may still lapse. The duration of the Policy depends
                  on the Policy's net surrender value. If the net surrender
                  value is not high enough to pay the monthly deduction when due
                  (and the no lapse period has expired) then the Policy will
                  lapse (unless the owner makes the payment the Company
                  specifies during the 61-day grace period).

         E.       No Lapse Period; Premiums During a Grace Period and Premiums
                  Upon Reinstatement


                  The full initial premium is the only premium the owner is
                  required to pay under the Policy. However, the owner greatly
                  increases the risk of lapse if the owner does not regularly
                  pay premiums at least as large as the current minimum monthly
                  guarantee premium.

                  Until the no lapse date shown on the Policy schedule page, the
                  Company guarantees that the Policy will not lapse, so long as
                  on any Monthiversary the owner has paid total premiums (minus
                  any cash withdrawals, minus any outstanding loan amount and
                  minus any decrease charge) that equal or exceed the sum of the
                  minimum monthly guarantee premiums in effect for each month
                  from the Policy date up to and including the current month. If
                  the owner takes a cash withdrawal, or takes out a loan, or if
                  the owner increases or decreases the specified amount, the
                  owner may need to pay additional premiums in order to keep the
                  no lapse guarantee in place. The no lapse period will end
                  immediately if the owner does not pay sufficient minimum
                  monthly guarantee premiums.

                  The initial minimum monthly guarantee premium is shown on the
                  Policy's schedule page, and depends on a number of factors,
                  including the age, gender, and rate class of the proposed
                  insured, and the specified amount requested. The


                                       8


                  minimum monthly guarantee premium will change if the owner
                  changes death benefit options, increases or decreases the
                  specified amount or adds, increases, or decreases a rider. If
                  the minimum monthly guarantee premium changes, the Company
                  will notify the owner of the change and its effective date.

                  The no lapse date is:

                  o    For Policies issued to insureds ages 0-60, either the
                       number of years to attained age 65 or the 20th Policy
                       anniversary, whichever is less.

                  o    For Policies issued to insureds ages 61-85, the 5th
                       Policy anniversary.

                  After the no lapse period ends, paying the current minimum
                  monthly guarantee premium each month will not necessarily keep
                  the Policy in force. The owner may need to pay additional
                  premiums to keep the Policy in force.

                  If the net surrender value is less than the amount of the
                  monthly deduction due on any Monthiversary and the no lapse
                  period is no longer in effect, then the Policy will be in
                  default and a grace period will begin. The grace period will
                  end 61 days after the date on which the Company sends a grace
                  period notice stating the amount required to be paid and the
                  final date by which the Company must receive the payment. The
                  notice will be sent to the owner's last known address and to
                  any assignee of record. The Policy does not lapse, and the
                  insurance coverage continues, until the expiration of this
                  grace period.


                                       9


                  If the grace period ends and the no lapse period is no longer
                  in effect, all coverage under the Policy will terminate
                  without value. The Company will reinstate the Policy for five
                  years after the lapse (and prior to the maturity date, which
                  generally is the Policy anniversary nearest the insured's
                  100th birthday) if:

                  o    the owner submits a reinstatement application;

                  o    the insured meets the Company's insurability
                       requirements; and

                  o    the owner makes a net premium payment large enough to
                       cover:

                       o    three monthly deductions; and

                       o    any surrender charge calculated from the Policy date
                            to the reinstatement date. (Although the Company
                            does not currently assess this charge, it reserves
                            the right to do so in the future.)

                   The Company will not reinstate any indebtedness. The cash
                   value of the loan reserve on the reinstatement date will be
                   zero. The net surrender value on the reinstatement date will
                   equal the net premiums paid at reinstatement, minus one
                   monthly deduction and any surrender charge. The reinstatement
                   date will be the Monthiversary on or following the day the
                   Company approves the reinstatement application.

         F.       Allocations of Initial Premium Among the Fixed Account
                  and the Subaccounts


                  The Separate Account. An owner may allocate premiums to up to
                  16 of the subaccounts of the WRL Series Life Account (the
                  "separate account") at any one time. The separate account
                  currently consists of several subaccounts, the assets of which
                  are used to purchase shares of a designated corresponding
                  investment portfolio of a fund. Each fund is registered under
                  the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an
                  open-ended management investment company. Additional
                  subaccounts may be added from time to time to invest in other
                  portfolios of a fund or any other investment company.

                                       10


                  When an owner allocates an amount to a subaccount (either by
                  premium allocation, transfer of cash value or repayment of a
                  Policy loan), the Policy is credited with units in that
                  subaccount. The number of units is determined by dividing the
                  amount allocated, transferred or repaid to the subaccount by
                  the subaccount's unit value for the valuation date when the
                  allocation or transfer request or repayment is received at the
                  Company's administrative office. A subaccount's unit value is
                  determined for each valuation period by multiplying the value
                  of a unit for a subaccount for the prior valuation period by
                  the net investment factor for the subaccount for the current
                  valuation period. The unit value for each subaccount was
                  arbitrarily set at $10 at the time the subaccount commenced
                  operations. The net investment factor is an index used to
                  measure the investment performance of a subaccount from one
                  valuation period to the next.

                  The Fixed Account. Owners also may allocate premiums to the
                  fixed account, which guarantees principal and a minimum fixed
                  rate of interest. Money allocated or transferred to the fixed
                  account will earn interest at a current interest rate in
                  effect at that time. The interest rate will equal at least 3%.

                  Allocations of Premiums among the Separate Account and the
                  Fixed Account. Premiums are allocated to the subaccounts and
                  the fixed account in accordance with the following procedures.

                  In the application for the Policy, the owner will specify the
                  percentage of each net premium to be allocated to each
                  subaccount of the separate account and/or the fixed account.
                  The percentage of each net premium that may be allocated to
                  any subaccount or the fixed account must be a whole number,
                  and the sum of the allocation percentages must be 100%.


                                       11


                  If the owner selects dollar cost averaging, then the owner
                  must have at least $5,000 in each subaccount from which the
                  Company will make transfers and the owner must transfer a
                  total of $100 monthly. If the owner selects asset rebalancing,
                  the cash value of the Policy (or initial premium if a new
                  Policy) must be at least $5,000. Unless otherwise required by
                  state law, the Company may restrict allocations to the fixed
                  account if the fixed account value following the allocation
                  would exceed $500,000.

                  Allocation percentages may be changed at any time by the owner
                  submitting a written notice or telephone instructions to the
                  Company's administrative office. The change will be effective
                  at the end of the valuation date on which the Company receives
                  the change. Upon instructions from the owner, the registered
                  agent of record for the Policy may also change allocation
                  instructions for the owner. The minimum amount that can be
                  allocated to a particular subaccount is 1% of each net premium
                  payment. The Company reserves the right to limit the number of
                  premium allocation changes or to charge $25 for each change in
                  excess of one per Policy year quarter.

         G.       Loan Repayments and Interest Payments


                  Repaying Loan Amount. The owner may repay all or part of the
                  loan amount at any time while the Policy is in force. The loan
                  amount is equal to the sum of all outstanding Policy loans
                  including both principal plus any accrued interest. Loan
                  repayments must be sent to the Company's administrative office
                  and will be credited as of the date received. If the death
                  benefit becomes payable while a Policy loan is outstanding,
                  the loan amount will be deducted in calculating the death
                  benefit.

                  Allocation for Repayment of Policy Loans. At each Policy
                  anniversary, the Company will compare the outstanding loan
                  amount to the amount in the loan reserve. The


                                       12


                  Company will also make this comparison any time the owner
                  repays all or part of the loan, or makes a request to borrow
                  an additional amount. At such time, if the outstanding loan
                  amount exceeds the amount in the loan reserve, the Company
                  will withdraw the difference from the subaccounts and the
                  fixed account and transfer it to the loan reserve, in the same
                  manner as when a loan is made. If the amount in the loan
                  reserve exceeds the outstanding loan amount, the Company will
                  withdraw the difference from the loan reserve and transfer it
                  to the subaccounts and the fixed account in the same manner as
                  current premiums are allocated. No charge will be imposed for
                  these transfers, and these transfers are not treated as
                  transfers in calculating the transfer charge. The Company
                  reserves the right to require a transfer to the fixed account
                  if the loans were originally transferred from the fixed
                  account.

                  Interest on Loan Reserve. The amount in the loan reserve will
                  be credited with interest at a minimum guaranteed annual
                  effective rate of 3%. See "Policy Loans" below. Any interest
                  earned that is in excess of the outstanding loan amount will
                  be transferred on the Policy anniversary to the subaccounts
                  and the fixed account in accordance with the instructions for
                  premium allocations then in effect.

         H.       Refund of Excess Premiums for Modified Endowment Contracts


                  At the time a Policy is issued, the Company will notify the
                  owner as to whether the Policy is classified as a modified
                  endowment contract ("MEC") based on the initial premium
                  received. If the Policy is not a MEC at issue, the owner will
                  be notified of the maximum amount of additional premiums the
                  owner can pay without causing the Policy to be classified as a
                  MEC. At the time a premium is credited which would cause the
                  Policy to become a MEC, the Company will immediately notify
                  the owner and the agent.


                                       13


                  At that time, the owner will need to notify the Company if he
                  or she wants the Policy to continue as a MEC. Unless the owner
                  notifies the Company that he or she does want the Policy to
                  continue as a MEC, the Company will refund the dollar amount
                  of the excess premium that caused the Policy to become a MEC.

II.      Transfers


         A.       Transfers Among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account


                  The owner may transfer cash value between and among the
                  subaccounts of the separate account and, subject to certain
                  special rules, to and from the fixed account.

                  In any Policy year, the owner currently may make an unlimited
                  number of "non-substantive" transfers among the subaccounts.
                  The Company deducts a transfer charge of $25 from the amount
                  transferred for the 13th and each additional transfer in a
                  Policy year. The Company guarantees that it will not increase
                  this charge. For purposes of the transfer charge, all transfer
                  requests made in one day are considered one transfer,
                  regardless of the number of subaccounts affected by the
                  transfer, and transfers resulting from loans, conversion
                  rights, reallocation of cash value immediately after the
                  reallocation date, and transfers from the fixed account are
                  not treated as transfers. Dollar cost averaging and asset
                  rebalancing transfers are treated as transfers for purposes of
                  the transfer charge. Any unused "free" transfers do not carry
                  over to the next year.

                  There is no minimum amount that must be transferred. There is
                  no minimum amount that must remain in a subaccount following a
                  transfer. However, unless otherwise required by state law,
                  transfers to the fixed account may be restricted if the fixed
                  account value following the transfer would exceed $500,000.
                  Transfers from the fixed account are limited to one per Policy
                  year (unless the owner has selected dollar cost averaging) and


                                       14


                  requests for such transfers (which may be required to be in
                  writing) must be received by the Company during the 30-day
                  period following the end of each Policy year. The maximum
                  amount that may be transferred from the fixed account to the
                  subaccounts in any Policy year is limited to the greater of:
                  25% of the amount in the fixed account on the date of the
                  transfer; or the amount transferred from the fixed account in
                  the immediately prior Policy year.

                  The Policy, as applied for and issued, will automatically
                  receive telephone transfer privileges unless the owner
                  provides other instructions. The telephone transfer privileges
                  allow the owner to give authority to the registered
                  representative or agent of record for the Policy to make
                  telephone transfers and to change the allocation of future
                  payments among the subaccounts and the fixed account on the
                  owner's behalf according to the owner's instructions. The
                  Company will require the owner to provide certain information
                  for identification purposes when making a transfer request by
                  telephone, and may require written confirmation of the
                  request.

                  The Company reserves the right to modify, restrict, suspend,
                  prohibit, or eliminate the transfer privileges (including
                  telephone transfer privileges) at any time and for any reason.
                  The Company will limit transfer activity to two substantive
                  transfers (at least 30 days apart) from each portfolio (except
                  the money market portfolio) during any 12-month period.
                  "Substantive" means either a dollar amount large enough to
                  have a negative impact on a portfolio's operations or a series
                  of movements between portfolios. The Company reserves the
                  right to reject any premium payment or transfer request from
                  any person if the payment or transfer or series of transfers
                  would have a negative impact on a portfolio's operations or if
                  a portfolio would reject the purchase order.

                                       15


         B.       Dollar Cost Averaging


                  The dollar cost averaging program permits an owner to transfer
                  systematically on a monthly basis a set dollar amount from the
                  fixed account or the portfolios investing in the money market
                  and the bond subaccounts to a subaccount chosen by the owner.
                  Transfers will be made monthly as of the end of the valuation
                  date after the first Monthiversary after the reallocation
                  date. An owner may elect to participate in the dollar cost
                  averaging program at any time by sending the Company a
                  completed dollar cost averaging request form. The Company will
                  make the first transfer in the month after receipt of this
                  form at the Company's administrative office, provided that the
                  form is received by the 25th day of the month. To participate
                  in the dollar cost averaging program, an owner must have at
                  least $5,000 in each account from which the Company will make
                  transfers and total monthly transfers must be at least $100.
                  Also, each month, an owner may not transfer more than
                  one-tenth of the amount that was in the fixed account at the
                  beginning of dollar cost averaging. There is no charge for
                  using the dollar cost averaging program. However, each
                  transfer under this program counts towards the 12 free
                  transfers permitted each year. The Company reserves the right
                  to modify, suspend, or discontinue offering the dollar cost
                  averaging program at any time and for any reason. Dollar cost
                  averaging is not available while an owner is participating in
                  the asset rebalancing program or in any asset allocation
                  services provided by a third party.

         C.       Asset Rebalancing


                  An owner may instruct the Company to rebalance automatically
                  (on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis) the Policy's
                  cash value to maintain the percentage allocation specified in
                  the owner's currently effective premium allocation schedule.
                  An owner may elect to participate in the asset rebalancing
                  program at any time by sending a completed


                                       16


                  allocation request form to the Company's administrative office
                  before the maturity date. The initial rebalancing will occur
                  on the next quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary after
                  receipt of this form. The Company will credit the amounts
                  transferred at the unit value next determined on the dates the
                  transfers are made. If a day on which rebalancing would
                  ordinarily occur falls on a day on which the NYSE is closed,
                  rebalancing will occur on the next day the NYSE is open.

                  To participate in the asset rebalancing program, the Policy
                  must have a cash value of at least $5,000 or make a $5,000
                  initial premium payment. An owner cannot have more than 16
                  active subaccounts at any one time, and cash value in the
                  fixed account is not available for this program. The
                  allocation percentages must be in whole numbers. Subsequent
                  changes to the allocation percentages may be made quarterly by
                  written or telephone instructions to the Company's
                  administrative office. Once elected, asset rebalancing remains
                  in effect until the owner instructs the Company to discontinue
                  asset rebalancing. There is no charge for using the asset
                  rebalancing program. However, each reallocation made under
                  this program counts towards the 12 free transfers permitted
                  each year. The Company reserves the right to discontinue
                  offering the asset rebalancing program at any time and for any
                  reason. If an owner terminates participation in the program,
                  the Company restricts the owner's right to re-enter the
                  program to once each Policy year. Asset rebalancing is not
                  available while an owner is participating in the dollar cost
                  averaging program or in any asset allocation services provided
                  by a third party. Asset rebalancing will cease if the owner
                  makes any transfer to or from any subaccount other than under
                  a scheduled rebalancing.

                                       17


         D.       Third Party Asset Allocation Services


                  The Company may provide administrative or other support
                  services to independent third parties that have been
                  authorized by owners to conduct transfers on their behalf or
                  to recommend how subaccount values should be allocated. There
                  is currently no charge for these administrative and support
                  services. The Company reserves the right to discontinue
                  providing administrative and support services at any time and
                  for any reason.

         E.       Transfer Errors


                  In accordance with industry practice, the Company will
                  establish procedures to address and to correct errors in
                  amounts transferred among the subaccounts and the fixed
                  account, except for de minimus amounts. The Company will
                  correct non de minimus errors it makes and will assume any
                  risk associated with the error. Owners will not be penalized
                  in any way for errors made by the Company. The Company will
                  take any gain resulting from the error.

III.     "Redemption" Procedures


         A.       "Free-Look" Right


                  The Policy provides for an initial free-look right during
                  which an owner may cancel the Policy by returning it to the
                  Company's administrative office, to one of the Company's
                  branch offices or to the agent who sold the Policy. The
                  free-look period expires 10 days after the owner receives the
                  Policy. The free-look period may be longer in some states.
                  Upon returning the Policy to the Company or to an authorized
                  agent for forwarding to the Company's administrative office,
                  the Policy will be deemed void from the beginning. Within
                  seven days after the Company's administrative office receives
                  the cancellation request and the Policy, the Company will pay
                  a refund. In most states, the refund will be:

                                       18


                  o    any charges and taxes deducted from premiums; plus

                  o    any monthly deductions or other charges deducted from
                       amounts allocated to the subaccounts and the fixed
                       account; plus

                  o    the cash value in the subaccounts and the fixed account
                       on the date the Company (or its agent) receives the
                       returned Policy at the Company's administrative office.

                  Some states may require the Company to refund all of the
                  premiums paid for the Policy.

         B.       Surrenders


                  Requests for Net Surrender Value. If the insured is alive and
                  the Policy is in force, the owner may surrender the Policy at
                  any time for its net surrender value. The net surrender value
                  on any valuation date is the cash value, minus any surrender
                  charge, minus any outstanding loan amount. The net surrender
                  value will be determined by the Company on the valuation date
                  the Company's administrative office receives all required
                  documents, including a satisfactory written request containing
                  the owner's original signature. The signature of the owner's
                  spouse may be required. This written request must be made
                  prior to the Policy's maturity date. The Company will cancel
                  the Policy as of the date the written request is received at
                  the Company's administrative office and the Company will
                  ordinarily pay the net surrender value in a lump sum within
                  seven days following receipt of the written request and all
                  other required documents. The Policy cannot be reinstated
                  after it is surrendered.

                  Surrender of Policy -- Surrender Charge. If the Policy is
                  surrendered during the first 15 Policy years, or during the
                  15-year period following an increase in specified amount, the
                  Company will deduct a surrender charge from the cash value and
                  pay the remaining cash value (less any outstanding Policy loan
                  amounts and unpaid interest) to the owner.

                                       19


                  The surrender charge is a charge for each $1,000 of specified
                  amount of the initial specified amount of the Policy without
                  consideration of any supplemental riders (that is, the initial
                  specified amount on the Policy date, plus any increases, and
                  minus any decreases) (the "Base Policy") and of each increase
                  in specified amount. The surrender charge that will apply on a
                  full surrender of the Policy is the total of the surrender
                  charge calculated for the initial specified amount and the
                  surrender charges calculated for each increase in specified
                  amount unless there has been a reduction in specified amount
                  for which a decrease charge was applied.

                  The initial specified amount has a 15-year surrender charge
                  period starting on the Policy date and surrender charges that
                  are based upon the insured's issue age, gender, and rate class
                  on the Policy date. Each increase in specified amount has its
                  own 15-year surrender charge period and surrender charges that
                  are based upon the insured's issue age, gender, and rate class
                  at the time of the increase.

                  Decreases in specified amount will be applied to the specified
                  amount in force on a last-in, first-out basis and will first
                  reduce the surrender charge on the most recent increase in
                  specified amount in force, then, if still applicable, reduce
                  the surrender charge on the next most recent increases, in
                  succession, and then reduce the surrender charge on the
                  initial specified amount.

                  The surrender charge for each segment of specified amount is
                  calculated as:

                  o    the surrender charge per thousand (which varies by issue
                       age, gender, and rate class on the Policy date or date of
                       specified amount increase); multiplied by

                                       20


                  o    the surrender charge factor (which varies by issue age on
                       the Policy date or date of specified amount increase and
                       number of years since the Policy date or date of
                       specified amount increase).

                  The surrender charge per thousand is calculated separately for
                  initial specified amount and for each increase in specified
                  amount, using rates found in the prospectus. The surrender
                  charge factor is also calculated separately for the initial
                  specified amount and for each increase in specified amount in
                  force. For insureds issue ages 0-39, the surrender charge
                  factor is equal to 1.00 during years 1-5. It decreases by 0.10
                  each year until the end of the 15th year when it is zero. If
                  the insured is older than 39 on the Policy date or on the date
                  of specified amount increase, the factor is less than 1.00 at
                  the end of the first year and decreases to zero at the end of
                  the 15th year. The surrender charge factor is always
                  determined from the Policy date or date of specified amount
                  increase to the surrender date, regardless of whether there
                  were any prior lapses or reinstatements.

                  Extraordinary Expenses. When the Company incurs extraordinary
                  expenses, such as overnight mail expenses or wire service
                  fees, for expediting delivery of the surrender payment, the
                  Company will deduct that charge from the payment. The Company
                  charges $20 for an overnight delivery ($30 for Saturday
                  delivery) and $25 for wire service.

         C.       Cash Withdrawals


                  When Withdrawals are Permitted. After the first Policy year,
                  the owner may withdraw a portion of the cash value, subject to
                  the following conditions:

                  o    The owner must make a cash withdrawal request in writing,
                       and the request must contain the owner's original
                       signature. The signature of the owner's spouse may be
                       required.

                                       21


                  o    Only one cash withdrawal is allowed during a Policy year.

                  o    The Company may limit the withdrawal amount to at least
                       $500 and to no more than 10% of the net surrender value
                       during the first 10 Policy years. The Company currently
                       intends to limit the withdrawal amount to 25% of the net
                       surrender value after the 10th Policy year.

                  o    The remaining net surrender value after the cash
                       withdrawal must be at least $500.

                  o    A cash withdrawal will not be permitted if it will reduce
                       the specified amount below the minimum specified amount
                       set forth in the Policy.

                  o    The owner may specify the subaccount(s) and the fixed
                       account from which the withdrawal will be taken. If the
                       owner does not specify an account, the Company will
                       deduct the Policy's value in the subaccounts and the
                       fixed account in accordance with the owner's current
                       premium allocation instructions.

                  o    The Company generally will pay a cash withdrawal request
                       within seven days following the valuation date on which
                       the withdrawal request is received.

                  o    The Company will deduct a processing fee equal to $25 or
                       2% of the amount withdrawn, whichever is less, and will
                       pay the owner the balance. The Company guarantees that
                       this charge will not increase.

                  o    The Company does not deduct a surrender charge when a
                       cash withdrawal is taken.

                  Effect of Withdrawal on Death Benefit. A cash withdrawal will
                  reduce the cash value by the amount of the cash withdrawal and
                  will reduce the death benefit by at least the amount of the
                  cash withdrawal. If death benefit Option A is in effect, a
                  cash withdrawal will reduce the specified amount by an amount
                  equal to the amount of the cash withdrawal.

                                       22


                  Extraordinary Expenses. When the Company incurs extraordinary
                  expenses, such as overnight mail expenses or wire service
                  fees, for expediting delivery of the partial withdrawal
                  payment, the Company will deduct that charge from the payment.
                  The Company charges $20 for an overnight delivery ($30 for
                  Saturday delivery) and $25 for wire service.

         D.       Lapses


                  If the no lapse period is not in effect and if a sufficient
                  premium has not been received by the 61st day after the date
                  of the grace period notice, the Policy will lapse without
                  value and no amount will be payable to the owner unless the
                  Policy is reinstated within five years after the lapse and
                  prior to the maturity date.

         E.       Premium Expense Charges, Monthly Deduction, and Mortality and
                  Expense Risk Charge


                  Premium Expense Charges. The Company deducts a premium expense
                  charge from premiums before allocating such premiums to the
                  subaccounts and fixed account selected by the owner. This
                  charge is equal to:

                  o    6% of premiums during the first 10 Policy years on
                       Policies with a specified amount in force of less than
                       $250,000 or 4% on Policies with a specified amount in
                       force of $250,000 to $499,999; and

                  o    2.5% of premiums thereafter on Policies with a specified
                       amount less than $500,000.

                  There is no premium expense charge for Policies with a
                  specified amount of $500,000 or higher. Premium expense
                  charges are based on the specified amount in force for the
                  Base Policy at the time the Company receives the premium.

                                       23


                  Premium Collection Charge. For Policies on direct pay notice,
                  the Company also deducts a premium collection charge from
                  premiums before allocating such premiums to the subaccounts
                  and fixed account selected by the owner. This charge is equal
                  to $3.00 per premium payment. The Company has guaranteed that
                  it will not increase this charge.

                  Monthly Deduction. A monthly deduction will be deducted pro
                  rata from the Policy's cash value in each subaccount and the
                  fixed account on the Policy date and on each Monthiversary
                  (i.e., deductions will be withdrawn from each subaccount and
                  the fixed account in proportion to the value each bears to the
                  total cash value on the Monthiversary). The monthly deduction
                  is a charge compensating the Company for the services and
                  benefits provided, costs and expenses incurred, and risks
                  assumed by the Company in connection with the Policy.

                  The monthly deduction is equal to:

                  o    the monthly Policy charge; plus

                  o    the monthly cost of insurance charge for the Policy; plus

                  o    the monthly charge for any benefits provided by riders
                       attached to the Policy; plus

                  o    the decrease charge, if any, incurred as a result of a
                       decrease in specified amount.

                       o    Monthly Policy Charge. The monthly Policy charge
                            currently equals $5.00 each Policy month. The
                            Company guarantees that this charge will never be
                            more than $7.50 per month. The Company may waive
                            this charge at issue on additional policies (not on
                            the original Policy) purchased naming the same owner
                            and insured.

                       o    Cost of Insurance Charge. The cost of insurance
                            charge is calculated monthly. The cost of insurance
                            charge varies each month and is equal to:

                       o    the death benefit on the Monthiversary; divided by

                                       24


                       o    1.0024663 (this factor reduces the net amount at
                            risk, for purposes of computing the cost of
                            insurance, by taking into account assumed monthly
                            earnings at an annual rate of 3%); minus

                       o    the cash value on the Monthiversary after it has
                            been allocated among the "segments" of specified
                            amount in force in the following order: first,
                            initial specified amount, then, each increase in
                            specified amount starting with the oldest increase,
                            then the next oldest, successively, until all cash
                            value has been allocated.

                       o    Then, multiply each segment by the appropriate
                            monthly cost of insurance rate (see below) for that
                            segment; and add the results together.

                      Cost of Insurance Rates. A monthly cost of insurance rate
                      depends, in part, on the specified amount band. Generally,
                      the higher the specified amount band, the lower the cost
                      of insurance rates. The specified amount band is
                      determined by referring to the specified amount in force
                      for the Base Policy (riders are not included in
                      determining the Policy's specified amount band). The
                      specified amount bands available are:

                       1)   Band 1: $100,000 - $249,999 ($50,000 - $249,999 for
                            issue ages 50 and older)

                       2)   Band 2: $250,000 - $499,999

                       3)   Band 3: $500,000 - $999,999

                       4)   Band 4: $1,000,000 and over

                      If the specified amount is increased, different monthly
                      cost of insurance rates may apply to that segment of
                      specified amount, based on the insured's attained age and
                      rate class at the time of the increase, gender, and the
                      length of time since the increase. Increases in specified
                      amount may move the Policy into a higher specified amount

                                       25


                      band. Decreases in specified amount may cause the Policy
                      to drop into a lower band of specified amount and may
                      result in an increase in cost of insurance rates and
                      premium expense charge rates. Decreases in specified
                      amount are applied on a last-in, first-out basis to the
                      specified amount in force, and will first reduce the
                      specified amount provided by the most recent increase in
                      specified amount in force, then reduce the next most
                      recent increases, successively, and then reduce the
                      initial specified amount.

                      Cost of insurance rates also vary depending on the
                      insured's issue age on the Policy date, issue age at the
                      time of any increase in specified amount, specified amount
                      band, gender, rate class, and the length of time from the
                      Policy date or from the date of any increase in specified
                      amount. These rates will never be greater than the
                      guaranteed amounts stated in the Policy which are based on
                      the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary (C.S.O.)
                      Mortality Tables and the insured's attained age, gender,
                      and rate class.

                      Cost of insurance rates for Policies that are issued on a
                      simplified or expedited basis will be no higher than the
                      guaranteed rates for select, non-tobacco use or standard,
                      tobacco use categories. However, these rates may be higher
                      or lower than current rates charged under otherwise
                      identical Policies that are using standard underwriting
                      criteria.

                  o    Optional Insurance Riders. The monthly deduction will
                       include charges for any optional insurance benefits added
                       to the Policy by rider.

                  o    Decrease Charge. If the specified amount is decreased
                       during the first 15 Policy years, or during the 15-year
                       period following an increase in specified amount, the
                       Company will deduct from the cash value a decrease
                       charge. This charge is equal to


                                       26


                       the surrender charge as of the date of the decrease
                       applicable to that portion of the segment(s) of the
                       specified amount that is decreased.

                       A decrease charge will not be deducted from the cash
                       value if the specified amount decrease results from:

                       o    a change in the death benefit option; or

                       o    a cash withdrawal (when death benefit Option A is
                            selected).

                       If a decrease charge is deducted because of a decrease in
                       specified amount, any future decrease charges incurred
                       during the surrender charge period will be based on the
                       reduced specified amount.

                       Decreases in specified amount are applied on a last-in,
                       first-out basis to the current specified amount in force.
                       The decrease charge is first calculated based on the
                       current surrender charge applicable to the most recent
                       increase in specified amount still in force. If the
                       amount of the decrease in specified amount is greater
                       than the most recent increase in specified amount, then
                       the charge will also be calculated based on the surrender
                       charges applicable to the next most recent increases,
                       successively, and then will also be calculated based on
                       any remaining surrender charge on the initial specified
                       amount, up to the amount of the requested decrease. The
                       Company will not allow a decrease in specified amount if
                       the decrease charge will cause the Policy to go into a
                       grace period.

                  Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. Each valuation date, the
                  Company deducts a daily charge from the cash value in each
                  subaccount in an amount equal to the Policy's cash value in
                  each subaccount multiplied by the daily pro rata portion of
                  the annual mortality and expense risk charge rate of 0.90%
                  (equal to 0.90% of the average daily net assets in


                                       27


                  each subaccount). The Company guarantees to reduce this charge
                  to 0.60% after the 15th Policy year, and intends to reduce the
                  charge to 0.30% (although this is not guaranteed).

         F.       Death Benefits


                  Death Benefit Proceeds. As long as the Policy is in force, the
                  Company will pay the death benefit upon receipt at the
                  Company's administrative office of satisfactory proof of the
                  insured's death. The Company may require return of the Policy.
                  The death benefit proceeds equal:

                  o    the death benefit (described below); minus

                  o    any past due monthly deductions if the insured dies
                       during the grace period; plus

                  o    any additional insurance in force provided by rider;
                       minus

                  o    any single-sum benefits paid under the living benefit
                       rider; minus

                  o    any outstanding Policy loans; minus

                  o    any interest owed on Policy loan(s).

                  The Company will pay the death benefit proceeds to the primary
                  beneficiary(ies), if living, or to a contingent beneficiary.
                  If each beneficiary dies before the insured and there is no
                  contingent beneficiary, the Company will pay the death benefit
                  proceeds to the owner or the owner's estate.

                  The Company will pay the death benefit proceeds in a lump sum
                  or under a settlement option. The election may be made by the
                  owner during his or her lifetime, or, if no election is in
                  effect at his or her death, by the beneficiary. An option in
                  effect at death may not be changed to another form of benefit
                  after death. If no election is made, the Company will pay the
                  death benefit proceeds in a lump sum.

                                       28


                  If all or part of the death benefit proceeds will be paid to
                  the beneficiary in one sum, the Company will pay interest on
                  this sum as required by applicable state law from the date the
                  Company receives due proof of the insured's death to the date
                  the Company makes payment. Generally payment will be made
                  within seven days after the valuation date on which the
                  Company has received at the Company's administrative office
                  all materials necessary to constitute due proof of death.

                  If a settlement option is elected, the death benefit will be
                  applied to the option within seven days after the valuation
                  date by which the Company received due proof of death and
                  payments will begin under that option when provided by the
                  option.

                  Death Benefit. The death benefit is determined at the end of
                  the valuation period in which the insured dies. One of the
                  three death benefit options offered under the Policy must be
                  selected on the application. If the owner does not select a
                  death benefit option on the application, Option A will be
                  selected and the Company will ask the owner to confirm the
                  selection of Option A in writing or choose another option. The
                  three death benefits are:

                  Option A equals the greater of:

                  1)   the current specified amount; or

                  2)   a specified percentage, called the limitation percentage,
                       multiplied by the cash value on the insured's date of
                       death.

                  Option B equals the greater of:

                  1)   the current specified amount, plus the cash value on the
                       insured's date of death; or

                  2)   the limitation percentage, multiplied by the cash value
                       on the insured's date of death.

                                       29


                  Option C equals the greater of:

                  1)   death benefit option A; or

                  2)   the current specified amount, multiplied by an age-based
                       "factor" equal to the lesser of:

                       o    1.0 or

                       o    0.04 times (95 minus insured's attained age at
                            death) (the "factor" will never be less than zero);
                            plus the cash value on the insured's date of death.

                  The Company guarantees that, regardless of the death benefit
                  option selected, so long as the Policy does not lapse, the
                  death benefit will never be less than the specified amount on
                  the insured's date of death.

                  Change in Death Benefit Option. After the third Policy year,
                  the owner may change the death benefit option once each Policy
                  year if the specified amount was not changed that year. The
                  Company will notify the owner of the new specified amount. The
                  request to change the death benefit option must be in writing.
                  The effective date of the change will be the Monthiversary on
                  or following the date when the Company receives the request at
                  its administrative office. The owner may not make a change
                  that would decrease the specified amount below the minimum
                  specified amount under band 1 listed on the Policy schedule
                  page.

                  Change in Specified Amount. After the Policy has been in force
                  for three years, the owner may change the specified amount
                  once each Policy year if the death benefit option has not been
                  changed that year. An increase in specified amount will be
                  treated as an additional layer of coverage with its own cost
                  of insurance rates, surrender charges, and


                                       30


                  surrender charge period. If a change in specified amount
                  causes the specified amount band to change, the Company will
                  apply the new premium expense charge and cost of insurance
                  rates to the amounts in the new band as of the effective date
                  of the change. The new minimum monthly guarantee premium is
                  effective on the date of the change.

                       o    Decrease in Specified Amount. The request to
                            decrease the specified amount must be in writing,
                            and the specified amount cannot be increased in the
                            same Policy year. The specified amount cannot be
                            decreased lower than the minimum specified amount
                            under band 1 as shown on the Policy schedule page,
                            nor can it be decreased if the specified amount
                            would disqualify the Policy as life insurance under
                            the Code. The Company may limit the amount of the
                            decrease to no more than 20% of the specified
                            amount. A decrease in specified amount will take
                            effect on the Monthiversary on or after the Company
                            receives the written request. There will be a
                            decrease charge against the cash value if the
                            request is made within the first 15 Policy years or
                            during the 15-year period subsequent to an increase
                            in specified amount. See "Surrenders."

                       o    Increase in Specified Amount. A request to increase
                            specified amount must be applied for on a
                            supplemental application and must include evidence
                            of insurability satisfactory to the Company. An
                            increase requires approval by the Company, and will
                            take effect on the Monthiversary on or after such
                            approval. The Company may require the increase to be
                            at least $50,000. The specified amount may not be
                            decreased in the same Policy year that the specified
                            amount is increased.

                  Supplemental Death Benefits. Supplemental death and other
                  benefits may be added to the Policy by purchasing one or more
                  riders as described in the current prospectus for the Policy.

         G.       Policy Loans


                  Policy Loans. After the first Policy year and so long as the
                  Policy is in force, the owner may obtain a Policy loan from
                  the Company at any time by submitting a written, faxed, or
                  telephone request to the Company's administrative office. The
                  signature of the owner's spouse may be required. The Company
                  may permit loans prior to the first anniversary for Policies
                  issued pursuant to 1035 Exchanges. The minimum loan amount may
                  be $500 and the maximum loan amount is 90% of the Policy's
                  cash value, less any surrender charge and any already
                  outstanding loan amount, at the time of the loan. Policy loans
                  will be processed as of the valuation date the request is
                  received and loan proceeds generally will be sent to the owner
                  within seven days thereafter.

                  The Policy, as applied for and issued, will automatically
                  permit the owner to request a loan by telephone, unless the
                  owner provides other instructions. The Company will require
                  the owner to provide certain information for identification
                  purposes when making a loan request by telephone, and may
                  require written confirmation of the request. The Company may
                  reject the request if the loan amount exceeds $50,000 or if
                  the address of record has been changed within the past 10
                  days. The Company will also accept fax instructions or
                  requests from the owner regarding loans.

                  Collateral for Policy Loans. When a Policy loan is made, an
                  amount equal to the requested loan is transferred from the
                  cash value in the subaccounts or fixed account to the loan
                  reserve. This withdrawal is made based on the owner's current
                  premium allocation instructions, unless the owner specifies a
                  different allocation when requesting the loan.

                                       32


                  Interest on Policy Loans. The Company currently charges
                  interest on any outstanding Policy loan at a current effective
                  annual interest rate of 3.75% (4% maximum guaranteed) payable
                  in arrears on each Policy anniversary. The Company may declare
                  various loan interest rates, and may apply different rates to
                  different parts of the loan. Loan interest that is unpaid when
                  due will be added to the loan amount on each Policy
                  anniversary and will bear interest at the same rate. An amount
                  equal to the unpaid amount of interest is transferred to the
                  loan reserve from each subaccount and the fixed account based
                  on the owner's current premium allocation instructions, unless
                  the owner directs otherwise. After the 10th Policy year, the
                  owner may borrow at preferred loan rates an amount equal to
                  the cash value minus total premiums paid (reduced by any cash
                  withdrawals) and minus any outstanding loan amount. The
                  preferred loan rate is currently 3% and is not guaranteed. The
                  Company will credit the amount in the loan reserve with
                  interest at an effective annual rate of 3%.

                  Effect on Death Benefit. If the death benefit becomes payable
                  while a Policy loan is outstanding, the loan amount plus
                  interest owed will be deducted in calculating the death
                  benefit. If at any time the sum of outstanding loans, plus any
                  interest owed, is more than the net surrender value of the
                  Policy, the Company will send the owner, and any assignee of
                  record, notice of the default and the owner will have a 61-day
                  grace period to submit a sufficient payment to avoid lapse.

         H.       Payments by the Company


                  Payments of cash withdrawals, surrenders, settlement options,
                  or death benefits proceeds ordinarily will ordinarily be made
                  within seven days of the valuation date on which the Company
                  receives the request and all required documentation at the
                  Company's


                                       33


                  administrative office. The Company may postpone the payment of
                  any such transactions for any of the following reasons:

                  o    the NYSE is closed for trading other than for customary
                       holiday or the weekend closings, or trading on the NYSE
                       is otherwise restricted, or an emergency exists, as
                       determined by the SEC;

                  o    when the SEC by order permits a delay for the protection
                       of owners; or

                  o    if the payment is attributable to a check that has not
                       cleared.

                  The Company may defer, for up to six months after the date the
                  Company receives the request, the payment of any proceeds from
                  the fixed account for a transfer, cash withdrawal, death
                  benefit proceeds, or surrender request.

         I.       Conversion Rights


                  The owner has the right to transfer all of the subaccount
                  value to the fixed account. If this transfer is made during
                  the first 24 Policy months, there is no transfer charge and
                  the transfer is not counted for purposes of determining
                  whether a transfer charge applies. The owner must make this
                  request in writing.

         J.       Redemption Errors


                  In accordance with industry practice, the Company will
                  establish procedures to address and to correct errors in
                  amounts redeemed from the subaccounts and the fixed account,
                  except for de minimus amounts. The Company will assume the
                  risk of any non de minimus errors caused by the Company.

         K.       Misstatement of Age or Gender


                  If the insured's age or gender has been misstated in the
                  application or any other supplemental application, then the
                  death benefit under the Policy will be adjusted based


                                       34


                  on what the cost of insurance charge for the most recent
                  monthly deduction would have purchased based on the insured's
                  correct age and gender.

         L.       Incontestability


                  Except for fraud, the Policy limits the Company's right to
                  contest the Policy, for reasons of material misstatements
                  contained in the application (or any supplemental
                  application), after it has been in force during the insured's
                  lifetime for two years from the Policy date or, if reinstated,
                  for two years from the reinstatement date. A new two-year
                  contestability period will apply to each increase in specified
                  amount beginning on the effective date of each increase, and
                  will apply only to statements made in the application for the
                  increase.

         M.       Limited Death Benefit


                  The Policy limits the death benefit if the insured dies by
                  suicide, while sane or insane, within two years after the
                  Policy date or the effective date of a reinstatement. The
                  Company's liability is limited to an amount equal to the
                  premiums paid, less any outstanding loan amount, and less any
                  cash withdrawals. If the insured commits suicide, while sane
                  or insane, within two years from the effective date of any
                  increase in specified amount, the Company's liability with
                  respect to such increase will be its cost of insurance.
