                               INSURANCE BENEFITS



We will pay the insurance benefits of this policy to the Beneficiary when we

   -  PLUS OR MINUS any adjustment for the last premium.

We will add interest to the resulting amount for the period from the date of

determine, but not less than the greater of (a) the rate we are paying on the
date of payment under the Deposit Option on Page 7; or (b) the rate required by
any applicable law.

We will pay these benefits only if premiums have been paid as called for by this

                          POLICY OWNER AND BENEFICIARY

OWNER. The Owner of this policy is the insured unless otherwise stated in the
application, or later changed. As Owner, you can exercise all the rights in this
policy while the Insured is living. You do not need the consent of anyone who
has policy a conditional or future ownership interest in this policy.

BENEFICIARY.  The Beneficiary is as stated in the application, unless later 
changed.  If two or more persons are named, those surviving the Insured will 
share equally unless otherwise stated.

We will pay any benefit for which there is no stated Beneficiary living at the
death of the Insured to the children of the Insured who then survive, in equal
shares. If none survive, we will pay the estate of the Insured.

CHANGES. While the Insured is living, you may change the Owner or Beneficiary by
submitting written notice in a form satisfactory to us. You can get such a form
from our agent or by writing to us. The change will take effect on the date you
sip the notice, except that it will not apply to any payment we make or other
action we take before we receive the notice in our Administrative Office. If you
change the Beneficiary, any previous arrangement you made under the Payment
Options provision on Page 6 is cancelled. You may choose a Payment Option for
the new Beneficiary in accordance with that provision.


ASSIGNMENT. You may assign this policy, if we agree, but we will not be bound by
an assignment unless we have received it in writing. Your rights and those of
any other person referred to in this policy will be subject to the assignment.
We assume no responsibility for the validity of any assignment. An absolute
assignment will be considered as a change of ownership to the assignee.

                                    PREMIUMS

AMOUNTS AND DUE DATES. Page 3 shows the amounts and due dates of the premiums
payable until the Final Term Expiry Date. It shows scheduled renewal premiums
based on the initial rate scale; guaranteed maximum renewal premiums; and the
premium due dates for renewal periods. For the first ten policy years, the
premiums shown on Page 3 are level and guaranteed. Beginning with the eleventh
policy year, scheduled renewal premiums are subject to change as stated in the
Premium Changes section. Each premium is payable on or before its due date at
our Home Office or premium collection office.

You may write and ask to change the frequency of premium payment. If we approve
the change, the new premium will be determined on the rate scale for this
policy.

GRACE PERIOD.  We allow a grace period of  31 days for payment of each premium,
after the first premium.  The insurance will continue during the grace period.

LAPSE.  If a premium is not paid by the end of  its grace period, the policy
will lapse as of the premium due date.  If this occurs, all insurance ends at 
the end of the grace period.

PREMIUM CHANGES. Beginning with the eleventh policy year, we have the right to
change the scheduled renewal premiums for the policy. We will send you written
notice of any such change before the next premium payment is due. The scheduled
premium for any policy year after the tenth policy anniversary may vary, but
will never be more than the guaranteed maximum renewal premium shown on Page 3
for that year.

We will adjust the renewal premium only on a uniform basis for insureds of the
same insurance age, sex and class of risk, whose policies have been in force for
the same length of time. We will not change the premium or class of risk because
of an adverse change in the Insured's health, occupation or avocation. We will
base a premium change solely on future expectations as to mortality, investment
earnings, persistency, taxes and expenses. Our procedures and standards for
premium changes,are on file, as required, with the insurance supervisory
official of the jurisdiction in which this policy is delivered.

                                     PAGE 4



REINSTATEMENT. You may reinstate this policy within five years after a lapse, 
but not later than the Final Term if: (1) you provide evidence of insurability 
satisfactory to us; and (2) you pay all overdue premiums with interest 6% per 
year compounded annually.

PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT. We will add to the insurance benefits any part of the last
premium paid that applies to a period beyond the policy month in which the
Insured dies. If the Insured dies during the grace period of an unpaid premium,
we will deduct from the benefits the part of the overdue premium for one policy
month. These are the adjustments for the last premium referred to on Page 2.

                              CONVERSION PRIVILEGE

You may exchange this policy on any premium due date on or before the fifth
policy anniversary for a new policy on the life of the Insured without evidence
of insurability: (1) if the day of the policy anniversary nearest the Insured's
75th birthday; and (2) if all premiums have been duly paid; and (3) if there is
a Disability Premium Waiver rider in effect in this policy, the Insured is not
totally disabled as defined in that rider. However, see the section "Conversion
During Disability".

The Register Date of the new policy will be the date of exchange. Premiums for
the new policy will be based on our rates in effect on that date. They will be
for the Insured's then attained insurance age and for the same class of risk as
for this policy. 'The first premium for the new policy must be paid on or within
31 days before the date of exchange.

THE NEW POLICY. The new policy will have an insurance amount equal to the amount
of insurance in effect on this policy. Or, you may choose any lower amount
allowed by our rules in effect on the date of exchange.

The new policy may be on any plan of insurance we offer on the date of exchange,
subject to our rules then in effect as to plan, age and class of risk. You may
not choose a policy of term insurance, one that includes term insurance, or one
that pr6vides insurance on more than one life.

If additional benefit riders are in effect on this policy on the date of
exchange, you may choose that the new policy contain similar riders subject to
our rules in effect on its Register Date.

Except as to any additional benefit riders included in the new policy, the
suicide exclusion and incontestability periods of the new policy will be
determined from the date of issue of this policy instead of from the date of
issue of the new policy.

CONVERSION DURING DISABILITY. We will issue a new policy with a Disability
Premium Waiver rider in exchange for this policy on any policy anniversary you
choose on or before the fifth policy anniversary provided (1) the date of
exchange is before the policy anniversary nearest the Insured's 65th birthday;
(2) a Disability Premium Waiver rider is in effect in this policy on the date of
exchange; and (3) the Insured is then totally disabled as defined in that rider.

The new policy will have an insurance amount equal to the amount of insurance in
effect on this policy. It will be on a life insurance plan that we then issue,
subject to our rules in effect on its Register Date as to plan. You may not
choose a policy of term insurance, one that includes term insurance, or one that
provides insurance on more than one life. Its Register Date will be the date of
exchange. Premiums for the new policy will be based on our rates in effect on
that date. They will be for the Insured's then attained insurance age and for
the same class of risk as for this policy.

We will waive premiums for the new policy as stated in its Disability Premium
Waiver rider while total disability continues. (We will not waive premiums on
and after the policy anniversary nearest the Insured's 65th birthday for a total
disability that began on or after the policy anniversary of this policy nearest
the Insured's 60th birthday.)

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

THE  CONTRACT.  We provide this insurance in consideration of payment of the 
required  premiums.  This policy and the attached copy of the application for 
it make up the entire contract.

The contract may not be modified, nor may any of our rights or requirements be
waived, except in writing signed by our President or one of our Vice Presidents.

INCONTESTABILITY. We have the right to contest the validity of this policy based
on material misstatements made in the application for this policy. However, we
will not contest the validity of this policy after it has been in effect during
the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the Date of Issue shown on Page
3. No statement shall be used to contest a claim unless contained in the
application.

All statements made in the application are representations and not warranties.

See any additional benefit riders for modifications of this provision that apply
to them.

AGE AND SEX. If the Insured's age or sex has been misstated, any benefits will
be those that the premium paid would have purchased at the correct age and sex.

SUICIDE EXCLUSION. If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within
two years after the Date of Issue shown on Page 3, our liability will be limited
to the payment of a single sum equal to the premiums paid.

POLICY PERIODS AND SAREES. Policy years, policy months, policy anniversaries and
premium periods are measured from the Register Date. Each policy month begins on
the same day in each calendar month as in the Register Date.

POLICY CHANGES. You may change this policy to another plan of insurance or add
additional benefit riders or make other changes, subject to our rules at the
time of change.

                                PAYMENT OPTIONS

Instead of having the insurance benefits paid immediately in one sum, you can
choose another form of payment for all or part of the benefit. If you do not
arrange for this before the Insured dies, the Beneficiary will have this right
when the Insured dies. Arrangements you make, however, cannot be changed by the
Beneficiary after the Imured's death.

DISCLOSURE.  The receipt of thc Benefit Amount may be taxable.  You should seek 
assistance from tax advisor prior to electing the benefit.

IN THIS RIDER "WE", "OUR' AND "US" MEAN THE EQUITABLE OF COLORADO, INC. "YOU"
MEANS THE OWNER OF THE POLICY AT THE TIME AN OWNER'S RIGHT IS EXERCISED. 'THIS
POLICY' MEANS THE POLICY TO WHICH ATTACHED.

POLICY NUMBER.- 9 6 0 1 0 4 1

THIS RIDER'S BENEFIT. We will pay an accelerated death benefit in the amount
requested by the Owner, if the Insured is terminally ill, subject to the
provisions of this rider. We will pay an accelerated death benefit under this
policy only once and in one lump sum.

The maximum accelerated death benefit you may receive is the lesser of:

      1.   75% of the death benefit payable under this policy, less any policy 
           loan and loan interest, and

      2.   $500,000.

The maximum aggregate amount of Accelerated Death Benefit payments that will be
paid under all policies issued by us on the life of the Insured is $500,000.

For purposes of this benefit, the death benefit does not include any accidental
death benefits, non-convertible term riders or convertible term riders not in
their conversion period or any benefits payable because of the death of any
person other than the Insured.

There is no premium or cost of insurance charge for this rider.

We reserve the right to deduct a processing charge of up to $250.00 per policy
from the accelerated death benefit payment.

We reserve the right to set a minimum of $5,000 on the amount you may receive
under this rider.

To be eligible for this benefit you must provide satisfactory evidence to us
that the Insured's life expectancy is six months or less. This evidence must
include, but is not limited to, certification by a physician licensed to
practice medicine in the United States or Canada and who is acting within the
scope of such license. A physician does not include the Owner, the Inured or a
member of either's family.

HOW THIS RIDER RELATES TO THE POLICY.  This rider is a part of the policy.  Its
benefits are subject to all the terms of this rider and the policy.  This rider
has no cash or loan value.  This rider is non-participating.

INTEREST. Interest will be charged go the amount of the Accelerated Death
Benefit and on any unpaid premium we advance after the payment of, an
Accelerated Death Benefit. The interest rate at the time the Accelerated Death
Benefit payment is made, will not exceed the greater of the following on such
date:

      1.   the yield on a 90-day treasury bill; or

      2.   the maximum adjustable policy loan interest rate permitted in the 
           state in which this policy is delivered.

Effect Of Accelerated Death Benefit Payment On The Policv. The Accelerated Death
Benefit payment, plus any accrued interest will be treated as a lien against the
policy values. The amount of the lien will be pro-rated against the policy's net
cash surrender value, if any, and the net amount at risk. (The net amount at
risk is defined as the death benefit of the policy minus the cash surrender
value, if any.) The amount payable at death under the policy will be reduced by
the full amount of the lien and any other indebtedness outstanding under policy.
The Owner's access to the policy's cash surrender value of the lien secured
against the cash surrender value and any other outstanding policy loans and loan
interest.

If premiums are required to be paid under the policy,  they will continue to be 
due after the payment of the is not paid when due, the amount of the unpaid  
premium will be added to the lien.

If a Disability Premium Waiver Rider is in effect under the policy, this 
policy's premiums will be waived as of the date we approve an Accelerated Death 
Benefit a payment.
