P98-52 Page 5 NY
You, your or Owner -- refers to the Owner of this policy.
OWNER AND BENEFICIARY
Owner -- The Owner of this policy is as shown in the Policy Specifications or in
a later Written Request. If there are two or more Owners, they will own this
contract as joint tenants with right of survivorship.
Assignment -- You may assign this policy by Written Request. An assignment will
take place only when recorded at our Service Center. When recorded, the
assignment will take effect as of the date the Written Request was signed. Any
rights created by the assignment will be subject to any payments made or actions
taken by us before the change is recorded. We will not be responsible for the
validity of any assignment.
Beneficiary -- The beneficiary is named by you in the application to receive the
death benefit proceeds. The interest of any beneficiary will be subject to any
assignment.
You may make a change of beneficiary by Written Request on a form provided by us
while the Insured is living. The change will take place as of the date the
request is signed. Any rights created by the change will be subject to any
payments made or actions taken by us before the Written Request is received.
You may designate a permanent beneficiary whose rights under the policy cannot
be changed without his or her consent.
The interest of a beneficiary who does not survive to receive payment will pass
to the surviving beneficiaries in proportion to their share in the proceeds,
unless otherwise provided. If no beneficiaries survive to receive payment, the
death proceeds will pass to the Owner, or the Owner's estate if the Owner does
not survive to receive payment.
PREMIUMS
Premiums -- This policy will not be in force until the initial premium is paid.
The initial premium is payable either at our Service Center or to our agent.
Additional premiums, if any, are payable in advance at our Service Center. At
your request, a premium receipt signed by one of our officers will be given to
you. No premium may be less than $50. Premiums may be paid at any time before
the Insured attains Age 100, subject to the premium limitations below.
Premium Allocation Before the Free Look Transfer Date -- Any Net Premium
received before the Free Look Transfer Date will be allocated to the Money
Market Variable Account on the issue date or, if later, the date the premium is
received and accepted by us. On the Free Look Transfer Date, the Accumulated
Value in the Money Market Variable Account will be allocated to the Investment
Options according to the premium allocation specified in the application or your
most recent instructions received by us, if any.
Premium Allocation On or After the Free Look Transfer Date -- Any Net Premium
received by us on or after the Free Look Transfer Date will be allocated to the
Investment Options according to the premium allocation specified in the
application or your most recent instructions received by us, if any.
Upon Written Request, you may change the premium allocation. Subsequently, Net
Premiums will be allocated to the Investment Options according to your most
recent instructions.
Premium Limitation -- We reserve the right to require evidence of insurability,
satisfactory to us, for any premium payment that would result in an immediate
increase in the difference between the death benefit and the Accumulated Value.
P98-52 Page 6 NY
Guideline Premium Limitation -- (This subsection applies only if you have
elected the Guideline Premium Test.) For this policy to be treated as life
insurance under the Code, the sum of premiums paid less a portion of any
withdrawals, as defined in the Code, may not exceed the greater of:
. The Guideline Single Premium; or
. The sum of the Guideline Level Premiums to the date of payment.
The amounts of the Guideline Premiums are shown on the Policy Specification
pages. The Guideline Premiums will change whenever there is a change in the
Face Amount of insurance or in other policy benefits. Such Guideline Premium
change will be shown in the supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums.
Qualification as Life Insurance - (This subsection applies only if you have
elected the Guideline Premium Test.) The Guideline Premiums are determined by
the rules set forth in the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702. The Guideline
Premiums will be adjusted to conform to any changes in the Code. In the event
that a premium payment would exceed these limits, we will refund the excess
premium, including any associated premium load, within 60 days of the next
policy anniversary. If any such refunds are made, we will adjust the amount
payable for interest, and recalculate policy values as if the excess premium had
never been paid.
Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) Premium Limitation -- In order for this policy
to avoid being treated as a MEC, the sum of premiums paid less a portion of any
withdrawals may not exceed the 7-Pay limit as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code Section 7702(a). In the event that a premium payment would exceed the 7-Pay
limit, we will refund the excess premium to you, including any associated
premium load, within 60 days of the next policy anniversary, unless you have
previously notified us in writing that such payments may be accepted by us and
applied to the policy. If any such refunds are made, we will adjust the amount
payable for interest, and recalculate policy values as if the excess premium had
never been paid.
DEATH BENEFIT
Death Benefit -- This policy provides a death benefit on the death of the
Insured. The death benefit, Death Benefit Option and the two Death Benefit
Qualification Tests are described in this section. On the date of death, the
death benefit is calculated as the larger of:
. The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit calculated under the Death Benefit
Qualification Test elected; and
. The death benefit as calculated under the Death Benefit Option in effect.
Death Benefit Qualification Test -- Unless you have elected otherwise, the Death
Benefit Qualification Test for this policy is the Guideline Premium Test. The
Death Benefit Qualification Test for this policy appears in the Policy
Specifications section. The Death Benefit Qualification Test may not be changed
for the life of the contract. The two Death Benefit Qualification Tests are
explained in this subsection.
1. Cash Value Accumulation Test -- The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit will be
the greater of the amount required for this policy to be deemed "life
insurance" according to the Code or 101% of the Accumulated Value. Such
required amount will be equal to the AV divided by the Net Single Premium
(NSP), as defined in Code Section 7702(b). The NSP for each attained age,
based on the policy as issued, is shown in the Table of NSP's in the Policy
Specifications pages. If there are changes to the policy, the NSP's may
also change. If they do change, we will send you a supplemental schedule of
NSP's.
2. Guideline Premium Test -- The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit at any time
is the Accumulated Value multiplied by the death benefit Percentage shown
in the following table:
P98-52 Page 7 NY
Death Benefit Death Benefit Death Benefit Death Benefit
Age Percentage Age Percentage Age Percentage Age Percentage
0-40 250% 50 185% 60 130% 70 115%
41 243 51 178 61 128 71 113
42 236 52 171 62 126 72 111
43 229 53 164 63 124 73 109
44 222 54 157 64 122 74 107
45 215 55 150 65 120 75-90 105
46 209 56 146 66 119 91 104
47 203 57 142 67 118 92 103
48 197 58 138 68 117 93 102
49 191 59 134 69 116 Over 93 101
We reserve the right to reduce the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit by requiring
distributions be made in order to maintain the Net Amount at Risk at a level
that will not exceed three times the Face Amount on the Policy Date. The
distribution will be equal to the change in Accumulated Value plus premium load
rate calculated on the amount of the distribution, provided that the amount
related to the premium load rate will never exceed the total amount of premium
load paid under the policy. No surrender charge will be imposed.
Qualification as Life Insurance - This policy is intended to qualify as a life
insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702, and the death
benefit under this policy is intended to qualify for income tax exclusion under
the Code. To that end, the provisions of this policy, including any other
rider, benefit or endorsement, are to be interpreted to ensure such tax
qualification, notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary. Any
mandatory removal of funds from the Accumulated Value initiated by us and not by
you will be treated as a premium refund. The premium load will be refunded up
to the total premium load paid under the policy and no surrender charges will be
imposed.
If premiums paid under this policy exceed the Guideline Premium limitation, if
applicable, and if the excess is greater than the premiums paid in the current
policy year, we will, within 60 days of the next anniversary, make a
distribution of the difference between such excess and the premiums paid in such
policy year. For any such distribution, the face amount will not be reduced and
no surrender charge will be imposed. In such case, we will also refund the
premiums paid in the current year as provided for the in the Premiums section.
If we do not make such a distribution within 60 days of your next policy
anniversary, then we will increase the death benefit under this policy on or
before the date the premium was paid. The death benefit will be increased to
the amount necessary to ensure tax qualification. We will then reduce the
Accumulated Value from the date of the increase to the current date to reflect
the increased Monthly Deductions during the period.
MEC Rules -- Unless you have instructed us differently in writing, it is
intended that this policy will not be treated as a MEC under Internal Revenue
Code Section 7702(a). To that end, the provisions of this policy, including any
other rider, benefit or endorsement, are to be interpreted to prevent the policy
from being subject to such treatment, notwithstanding any other provisions to
the contrary. Any mandatory removal of funds from the Accumulated Value
initiated by us and not by you will be treated as a premium refund. The premium
load will be refunded up to the total premium load paid under the policy and no
surrender charges will be imposed.
Unless you specify to us by Written Request, any request that would change the
death benefits under the policy and riders will not be processed if the change
would cause the policy to be treated as a MEC under the Code. Such changes
include a reduction in the face amount, a change in death benefit option, and a
reduction in face amount due to a Withdrawal.
P98-52 Page 8 NY
If such a change would result in the policy not qualifying as a MEC and the
excess of the premiums paid over the 7-Pay limit is greater than the premiums
paid in the current year, we will, unless you instruct us by Written Request to
the contrary, increase the death benefit under this policy on or before the date
the limit was exceeded. The death benefit will be increased to the amount
necessary to ensure qualification as a non-MEC. We will then reduce the
Accumulated Value from the date of the increase to the current date to reflect
the increased Monthly Deductions during the period. In addition, we will also
refund the premiums paid in the current year as provided for in the Premiums
section.
Death Benefit Options -- There are three Death Benefit Options, as described in
this subsection. You have elected the Death Benefit Option in the application.
The Death Benefit Option for this policy appears in the Policy Specifications.
. Option A -- The death benefit equals the Face Amount.
. Option B -- The death benefit equals the Face Amount plus the Accumulated
Value on the date of death.
. Option C -- The death benefit is the Face Amount plus the sum of the premiums
paid minus the sum of any withdrawals taken and any other distribution of the
Accumulated Value to the date of death. If the sum of the withdrawals is
greater than the sum of the premiums paid, then the death benefit will be
less than the Face Amount.
The Death Benefit Option may be changed to Option A or B upon Written Request a
maximum of once per year. Changes to Option C are not permitted. After any
such change, the Face Amount will be that amount which results in the death
benefit after the change being equal to the death benefit before the change.
The change will be effective on the Monthly Payment Date on or next following
the day we receive your Written Request at our Service Center.
Unless specified otherwise by you in writing, any request for a Death Benefit
Option change will not be processed if the option change would cause the policy
to be treated as a MEC under the Code.
Death Benefit Proceeds -- The death benefit proceeds are the actual amount
payable if the Insured dies while this policy is in force. The death benefit
proceeds are equal to the death benefit, as of the date of the Insured's death,
less any Policy Debt and less any due and unpaid monthly deductions occurring
during a grace period.
We will pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiary after we receive, at
our Service Center, due proof of the Insured's death and such other information
as we may reasonably require. The death benefit proceeds paid are subject to
the conditions and adjustments defined in other policy provisions, such as
General Provisions, Withdrawals and Policy Loans. We will pay interest on Death
Benefit Proceeds from the date of death to the date payment is made at a rate of
interest not less than the guaranteed interest rate used for the Fixed Options
under this policy. If state law requires payment of a greater amount of
interest, we will pay that amount.
Face Amount Change -- Subject to our approval, the Owner may change the Face
Amount if such request is made:
. during the lifetime of the Insured;
. no more often than once in any policy year; and
. on your Written Request while this policy is in force.
Face Amount Increase -- The effective date of the increased Face Amount will be
the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date all applicable
conditions are met. A supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums will be
issued. This schedule will include:
. the risk class;
. the effective date;
. the M&E Risk Charges;
. the Surrender Charges;
. the guaranteed Cost of Insurance Rates;
. the amount of the increase and the total Face Amount after the increase; and
P98-52 Page 9 NY
. if the Guideline Premium Test is used, the new Guideline Premiums.
We reserve the right to charge a fee not to exceed $100 for each increase. Any
such fee will be deducted from the Accumulated Value of the Fixed and the
Variable Accounts in the proportion that each bears to the Accumulated Value
less Policy Debt on the effective date of the increase. For any increase in
Face Amount which arises from conversion of a term rider, we will waive the
Surrender Charges and M&E Risk Face Amount Charges that would otherwise apply
for the increase.
Limits on Face Amount Increase -- An increase in Face Amount will be allowed
only if it results in a death benefit increase no less than our minimum limit in
effect on the date of the request. Also, an increase will not be allowed if
there has been a prior decrease in Face Amount, including any decrease which
occurred as a result of a Withdrawal.
Face Amount Decrease -- We recommend you consult your tax advisor before
requesting a decrease in policy Face Amount. You may not decrease the Face
Amount before the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the associated
coverage. The effective date of the decreased Face Amount will be the first
Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive the Written Request.
Existing insurance will be decreased or eliminated in the following order:
. first, the most recent increase;
. second, the next most recent increases successively; and
. finally, the original Face Amount.
A supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums will be issued. This schedule
will include the following information:
. the effective date of the decreased Face Amount;
. the amount of the decrease and the decreased Face Amount; and
. if the Death Benefit Qualification is the Guideline Premium Test, the new
Guideline Premiums.
If the Guideline Premium Test has been elected as the Death Benefit
Qualification Test, the request for a decrease in the Face Amount will be
subject to the Guideline Premiums Limitation as defined in the Code. This may
result in a refund of premiums and/or the distribution of Accumulated Value in
order to maintain compliance with such limitations. Such request will not be
allowed if the resulting Guideline Premiums could cause an amount greater than
the Net Cash Surrender Value to be distributed from the policy.
Unless specified otherwise by you in writing, no request for a face amount
decrease will be processed if the decrease would cause the policy to be treated
as a MEC under the Code.
Paid-Up Insurance -- At any time you may use the Net Cash Surrender Value to
purchase guaranteed fixed paid-up insurance on the life of the Insured. At the
time of conversion, the Net Cash Surrender Value will be transferred to our
general account. The amount of paid-up insurance is determined by applying the
Net Cash Surrender Value as the net single premium based upon the Insured's Age
and Risk Classification, 1980 CSO mortality and 3% interest. Any riders
attached to the policy will terminate at the time of conversion. Such paid-up
insurance may be surrendered at any time, with the cash surrender value being
determined on the same basis.
ACCUMULATED VALUE
Accumulated Value (AV) -- is the sum of the Fixed Accumulated Value plus the
Variable Accumulated Value plus the Loan Account and any interest credited to
it.
Fixed Accumulated Value -- The Fixed Accumulated Value is the sum of the
Accumulated Value in each Fixed Option as of the last Valuation Period.
This subsection describes how we calculate the Accumulated Value in each Fixed
Option. We credit interest on a daily basis using a 365-day year and at a rate
not less than an annual effective rate of
P98-52 Page 10 NY
3.00% in the first 10 policy years and 3.30% thereafter. At our discretion, we
may credit a higher rate of interest. The Accumulated Value for each Fixed
Option on any date is the following, including interest on each:
. the Accumulated Value for the Fixed Option on the prior Monthly Payment
Date;
. plus the amount of any Net Premium received and allocated to the Fixed
Option since the last Monthly Payment Date;
. plus the amount of any transfer to the Fixed Option, including transfers
from the Loan Account, since the last Monthly Payment Date;
. minus the monthly deduction and other deductions due, if any, and assessed
against the Fixed Option; and
. minus the amount of any withdrawals, or transfers from the Fixed Option,
including transfers to the Loan Account, since the last Monthly Payment
Date.
Variable Accumulated Value -- The Variable Accumulated Value is the sum of the
Accumulated Value in each Variable Account.
This subsection describes how we calculate the Accumulated Value in each of the
Variable Accounts. Assets in each Variable Account are divided into
Accumulation Units, which are a measure of value used for bookkeeping purposes.
We credit your policy with Accumulation Units in each Variable Account as a
result of:
. the amount of any Net Premium received and allocated to the Variable
Account; and
. transfers of Accumulated Value to the Variable Account, including transfers
from the Loan Account.
We debit Accumulation Units in each Variable Account as a result of:
. transfers from the Variable Account, including transfers to the Loan
Account;
. Surrenders and withdrawals from the Variable Account; and
. the monthly deduction and other deductions due, if any, and assessed against
the Variable Account.
To determine the number of Accumulation Units debited or credited for a
transaction, we divide the dollar amount of the transaction by the Unit Value of
the affected Variable Account.
To determine your Accumulated Value in each Variable Account, we multiply the
number of Accumulation Units in the Variable Account by the Unit Value of the
Variable Account. The number of Accumulation Units in each Variable Account will
not change because of subsequent changes in Unit Value.
At the inception of each Variable Account the Unit Value was $10. The Unit
Value of each Variable Account is determined on each Valuation Date. To
calculate the Unit Value of a Variable Account on any Valuation Date, we adjust
the Unit Value from the previous Valuation Date for a number of factors,
including:
. any dividends or distributions paid to the Variable Account;
. the investment performance of the Variable Account, which is based on the
investment performance of the corresponding portfolio and includes expenses
related to the portfolio's management;
. charges, if any, that may be assessed by us for income taxes attributable to
the operation of the Variable Account.
Loan Account -- The Loan Account is the amount set aside to secure Policy Debt.
The amount in the Loan Account on any date is the following, including interest
on each:
P98-52 Page 11 NY
. the amount in the Loan Account on the prior anniversary;
. plus any loan taken since the prior anniversary; and
. minus any loan amount repaid since the prior anniversary.
We will credit interest to the Loan Account on a daily basis using a 365-day
year and at a rate equivalent to an annual effective rate of 3.00% in the first
10 policy years, and 3.30% thereafter. On each policy anniversary, any interest
earned and held in the Loan Account will be transferred to the Investment
Options in accordance with your most recent premium allocation instructions.
Monthly Deduction -- A Monthly Deduction for a policy month is due on each
Monthly Payment Date and is equal to the sum of the following items:
. the monthly Cost of Insurance Charge;
. the M&E Risk Charge;
. the Administrative Charge, if any; and
. rider charges, if any.
Unless you have made a Written Request to the contrary, the Monthly Deduction
will be charged proportionately to the Accumulated Value in each Variable
Account and each Fixed Option on the Monthly Payment Date.
Cost of Insurance Charge -- Beginning on the Policy Date and monthly thereafter,
there will be a charge equal to the Cost of Insurance applicable to the
following:
. the initial Face Amount; plus
. each increase in the Face Amount.
The monthly Cost of Insurance Charge for the death benefit payable under this
policy, is (1) multiplied by (2), where:
(1) is the applicable monthly Cost of Insurance Rate; and
(2) is the Net Amount at Risk.
Net Amount at Risk -- The Net Amount at Risk is equal to the death benefit as of
the most recent Monthly Payment Date divided by 1.002466, then reduced by the
Accumulated Value at the beginning of the policy month before the Monthly
Deduction is due.
If there have been increases of Face Amount, then the Net Amount at Risk will be
proportionately allocated to each increase according to the Face Amount of each
increase in force as of the Monthly Payment Date.
Cost of Insurance Rates -- The Cost of Insurance Rates are based on a number of
factors, including the Insured's Age, Risk Classification and the policy
duration. Part of the cost is intended to recover acquisition expenses at
issue. Such expenses are greater in the early policy years. The current
monthly Cost of Insurance Rates will be determined by us. These rates will not
exceed the Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates shown in the
Policy Specifications.
Change in Policy Cost Factors -- Any change in policy cost factors, including
interest, cost of insurance rates, expense charges and loads, will be by class
and based on changes in our expectations of future investment earnings,
mortality, persistency and expenses. Any such change will be determined in
accordance with procedures and standards on file with the Insurance Department
of the state in which this policy is delivered.
M&E Risk Charge -- The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge (M&E Risk Charge) is to
compensate us for the risk we assume that mortality, expenses and other costs of
providing your policy will be greater than estimated. Beginning on the Policy
Date and monthly thereafter, the M&E Risk Charge will be
P98-52 Page 12 NY
the sum of the M&E Risk Asset Charge and the M&E Risk Face Amount Charge. These
are calculated as follows:
The M&E Risk Asset Charge is a percentage of the Variable Accumulated Value. In
the first 10 policy years, the charge is 0.0625% (0.75% annually) of the first
$25,000 of Variable Accumulated Value plus a charge of 0.0292% (0.35% annually)
of the Variable Accumulated Value above $25,000. After the 10th policy year,
the charge is 0.0375% (0.45% annually) of the first $25,000 of Variable
Accumulated Value plus a charge of 0.0042 (0.05% annually) of the Variable
Accumulated Value above $25,000. After the Insured's Age 100, the charge is
zero.
The M&E Risk Face Amount Charge is the amount shown in the Policy
Specifications, and is based on the Face Amount at policy issue. If there have
been increases in the Face Amount, each increase will have a corresponding M&E
Risk Face Amount Charge related to the amount of the increase. These charges
will be specified in the supplemental schedule of benefits at the time of the
increase.
Administrative Charge -- Beginning on the Policy Date and monthly thereafter,
there will be an Administrative Charge against the Accumulated Value. The
amount of this charge will equal the amount shown in the Policy Specifications.
Premium Load -- A Premium Load will be charged each time that a premium is paid
to cover certain local, state and federal tax and certain sales and distribution
costs. The Premium Load will equal the premium paid multiplied by the Premium
Load rate shown in the Policy Specifications. The Premium Load associated with
each premium will be immediately deducted from the premium paid. We reserve the
right to increase the Premium Load with respect to the charge for local, state
and federal tax. We will only increase the Premium Load if the effective
tax paid by us increases. We will notify you of any such change.
Other Taxes -- In addition to the charges imposed under Premium Load and
elsewhere, we reserve the right to make a charge for Federal, state or local
taxes that may be attributable to the Variable Accounts or to our operations
with respect to this policy if we incur any such taxes.
Grace Period and Lapse -- If the Accumulated Value less Policy Debt on a Monthly
Payment Date is not sufficient to cover the current monthly deduction, a grace
period of 61 days will be allowed for the payment of sufficient premium to keep
your policy in force.
The grace period begins on the Monthly Payment Date on which the insufficiency
occurred and ends 61 days thereafter. At the start of the grace period, we will
send notice to you at your last known address and to any assignee of record.
The notice will state the due date and the amount of premium required for your
policy to remain in force. A minimum of three times the monthly deduction due
when the insufficiency occurred, plus Premium Load, must be paid. Premiums we
receive during the grace period will be applied to your policy according to your
most recent premium allocation instructions. There is no penalty for paying a
premium during the grace period. Your policy will remain in force during the
grace period. If sufficient premium is not paid by the end of the grace period,
a lapse will occur. Thirty days prior to lapse, we will send you and any
assignee of record a notice containing the lapse date and the required premium
to keep your policy in force. If the Insured dies during the grace period, the
death benefit proceeds will be reduced by any overdue charges. Upon lapse, the
policy will terminate with no value.
Reinstatement -- If it has not been surrendered, this policy may be reinstated
not more than five years after the end of the grace period. To reinstate this
policy you must provide us with the following:
. a written application;
. evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
. payment of sufficient premium to cover all monthly deductions that were due
and unpaid during the grace period; plus
. payment of sufficient premium to keep the policy in force for three months
after the date of reinstatement.
P98-52 Page 13 NY
The effective date of the reinstated policy will be the first Monthly Payment
Date on or following the date we approve your reinstatement application. When
this policy is reinstated, the Accumulated Value will be equal to the
Accumulated Value on the date of lapse subject to the following. If the policy
is reinstated after the first Monthly Payment Date following lapse, the
Accumulated Value will be reduced by the amount of any Policy Debt on the date
of lapse. If the policy is reinstated on the first Monthly Payment Date
following lapse, any Policy Debt on the date of lapse will also be reinstated,
with the corresponding portion of the Accumulated Value allocated to the Loan
Account as described in the Policy Loan provision.
TRANSFERS
Transfers -- After your initial Net Premium has been allocated according to your
instructions and while your policy is in force, you may, upon Written Request,
transfer your Accumulated Value, or a part of it, among the Investment Options
as provided in this section. No transfer may be made if the policy is in a
grace period and the required premium has not been paid.
Transfers from the Fixed Account: One transfer from the Fixed Account may be
made in any twelve-month period. Transfers from the Fixed Account will be
limited to the greater of $5,000 or 25% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed
Account.
Transfers from the Fixed LT Account: One transfer from the Fixed LT Account may
be made in any twelve month period. Transfers from the Fixed LT Account will be
limited to the greater of $5,000 or 10% of the Accumulated Value in the Fixed LT
Account.
Transfers into the Fixed Options: Except during the first 18 policy months
during which transfers into the Fixed Account are unlimited (see below),
transfers into the Fixed Options may be made only during the policy month
preceding the policy anniversary.
Allocations into the Fixed LT Account: We reserve the right to limit the amount
allocated to the Fixed LT Account to $1,000,000 during the most recent 12 months
for all policies owned by you. Allocations include Net Premium payments,
transfers and loan repayments. Any excess over $1,000,000 will be transferred
to your other Investment Options relative to your most recent instructions. We
may increase the $1,000,000 limit at any time at our sole discretion. You may
contact us to find out if a higher limit is in effect.
Transfer into the Fixed Account Unlimited Under Special Circumstances: You may
transfer from any Variable Account to the Fixed Account with no limitation under
the following circumstances:
. For a period of time, as described below, after a material change in the
investment policy of that Variable Account; and
. During the first 18 policy months as long as this policy is not in the grace
period.
We will notify you if there is a material change in the investment policy of a
Variable Account. The notice will inform you of your options, including your
option to transfer from such Variable Account to the Fixed Account within 60
days after (i) the effective date of the material change or (ii) the date we
send you the notice, whichever is later.
No charges are currently imposed for transfers. We reserve the right:
. to limit the size of transfers so that each transfer is at least $500;
. to limit the frequency of transfers (however, at least one transfer per
quarter will be allowed);
. to limit the remaining balance in any account as a result of a transfer to
$500; and
. to assess a $50 charge for each transfer exceeding 12 per policy year.
P98-52 Page 14 NY
SURRENDER AND WITHDRAWAL OF VALUES
Surrender -- Upon Written Request while the Insured is living you may surrender
this policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value. The policy will terminate on the
date the request is received.
Net Cash Surrender Value -- The Net Cash Surrender Value is the Cash Surrender
Value less any Policy Debt.
Cash Surrender Value -- The Cash Surrender Value is the Accumulated Value less
any Surrender Charge.
Surrender Charges -- A Surrender Charge will be deducted from the Accumulated
Value upon surrender of the policy. The Surrender Charge is needed to help pay
for costs such as underwriting, policy issue and sales and distribution costs.
The initial Surrender Charge is equal to the amount shown on the Policy
Specifications pages. This will remain level for the first policy year and then
will decrease by 0.9259% per month to zero at the 120th month. However, the
surrender charge will never be more than the Maximum Surrender Charge that is
shown in the Policy Specifications pages.
If there have been increases in the Face Amount, each increase will have a
corresponding Surrender Charge and Maximum Surrender Charge related to the
amount of the increase. These charges will be specified in the supplemental
schedule of benefits at the time of the increase. If there have been decreases
in the Face Amount, including decreases in Face Amount due to withdrawals, the
Surrender Charge and Maximum Surrender Charge will be unchanged as a result of
such decrease in Face Amount.
Withdrawals -- Upon Written Request on or after the first policy anniversary
while the Insured is living, you may withdraw a portion of the Net Cash
Surrender Value of this policy. We will deduct a withdrawal fee of $25 from the
Accumulated Value for each withdrawal. The withdrawal fee will be deducted from
the Investment Options in the same proportion as the withdrawal.
Withdrawals will be subject to the following conditions: The amount of each
withdrawal must be at least $200 and the Net Cash Surrender Value remaining
after each withdrawal must be at least $500. Also, if there is any Policy Debt
at the time of each withdrawal, the amount of the withdrawal is limited to the
excess, if any, of the Cash Surrender Value immediately prior to the withdrawal
over the result of the Policy Debt divided by 90%.
The amount of each withdrawal will be allocated proportionately to the
Accumulated Value in the Investment Options unless you request otherwise. If
the Insured dies after the request for a withdrawal is sent to us and prior to
the withdrawal being effected, the amount of the withdrawal will be deducted
from the death benefit proceeds, which will be determined without taking the
withdrawal into account. Unless you request otherwise, no withdrawal will be
processed if the withdrawal would cause the policy to be treated as a MEC.
A withdrawal will affect the death benefit, depending on the Death Benefit
Option you have chosen. If your policy's death benefit is greater than the
Guideline Minimum Death Benefit, then the withdrawal will reduce the death
benefit by the amount of the withdrawal. However, if your policy's death
benefit is equal to the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit, the withdrawal may
cause the death benefit to decrease by an amount greater than the amount of the
withdrawal. For Death Benefit Option C, if the sum of the withdrawals and other
distributions from the policy is greater than the premiums, the death benefit
will be less than the Face Amount.
Withdrawals may also affect the Face Amount. A withdrawal will reduce the Face
Amount, but only for policies having Death Benefit Option A. In such case, a
withdrawal in excess of the difference between the Guideline Minimum Death
Benefit and the Face Amount will reduce the Face Amount by the amount of the
excess. However, for the first withdrawal from a Death Benefit Option A policy
in
P98-52 Page 15 NY
each of the first 15 policy years, the Face Amount will be reduced only to the
extent that the withdrawal exceeds 10% of the premiums paid.
TIMING OF PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Variable Accounts -- With respect to allocations made to the Variable Accounts,
we will pay death benefit proceeds, Net Cash Surrender Value on surrender,
withdrawals, and loans and will effect a transfer between Variable Accounts or
from a Variable Account to a Fixed Option within seven days after we receive all
the information needed to process the payment. However, we may postpone the
calculation, payment or transfer of any amounts that are based on the investment
performance of the Variable Accounts, if:
. the New York Stock Exchange is closed on other than normal weekend and
holiday closings; or
. trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); or
. an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which it is
not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Account assets or
to dispose of Account securities; or
. The SEC by order permits postponement for the protection of securities
owners.
Fixed Options -- With respect to allocations made to the Fixed Options, we may
defer payment of any Net Cash Surrender Value, withdrawals or loan amounts or
defer transfers from either Fixed Option for up to six months after we receive
your request. We will allow interest, at a rate of at least 3% annually, on any
Net Cash Surrender Value or withdrawal benefit derived from a Fixed Option if we
defer payment for 30 days or more.
INCOME BENEFITS
Income Benefits -- Surrender or withdrawal benefits may be used to buy a
lifetime monthly income as long as the monthly income is at least $100. Death
benefits may be used to buy a monthly income for the lifetime of the
beneficiary. The monthly income will automatically be guaranteed to continue for
at least ten years, unless another form of payment is requested. Under the
automatic form of payment, if the income recipient dies before the end of the
ten-year period, payments will continue to the end of the ten-year period to a
person designated by the income recipient in writing.
The purchase rates for the monthly income will be set periodically by the
Company. However, under the automatic form, the monthly income bought by each
$1,000 of benefit amount will always be at least as large as that shown below.

Monthly income amount for ages not shown are halfway between the two amounts for
the nearest two ages that are shown. Amounts shown are based on the Annuity
2000 table with interest at 3.00%. This benefit is not available if the income
would be less than $100 a month. We may require evidence of survival for
incomes that last more than ten years.
P98-52 Page 16 NY
Other Income Options -- Surrender, withdrawal or death benefits may be used
under any other payment plans that we make available at that time.
POLICY LOANS
Policy Loans -- You may obtain loans by Written Request after the Free Look
Period, on the sole security of the Loan Account of this policy. We recommend
you consult your tax advisor before requesting a policy loan.
Loan Amount Available -- The amount available for a loan is equal to 90% of
Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt and also less any Surrender Charges that
would be imposed if the policy were surrendered on the date the loan is taken
or, if greater, the result of (a x b/c)-d, where: a is the Accumulated Value
less 12 times the most recent monthly deduction less any Surrender Charge on the
date of the loan; b = 1 + the loan interest credited; c = 1.0355; and d = any
existing Policy Debt. The amount of a loan must be at least $200.
Loan Interest -- Interest will accrue daily and is payable in arrears at the
annual rate of 3.55%. Interest not paid when due will be added to the loan
principal and bear interest at the same rate of interest.
Loan Account -- When a loan is taken, an amount equal to the loan is transferred
out of the Accumulated Value in the Investment Options into the Loan Account to
secure the loan. Unless you request otherwise, loan amounts will be deducted
from the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Options on a pro rata basis, up to the
amount available. We will credit interest to the Loan Account as described in
the Accumulated Value section.
On each policy anniversary, if the amount in the Loan Account exceeds Policy
Debt, the excess will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment
Options according to your most recent instructions. If Policy Debt exceeds the
amount in the Loan Account, an amount equal to such excess will be transferred
from the Investment Options on a proportionate basis to the Loan Account.
Loan Repayment -- Loans may be repaid at any time prior to lapse of this policy.
An amount equal to the portion of any loan repaid, but not more than the amount
in the Loan Account, will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment
Options according to your most recent instructions. We reserve the right to
first transfer repayments from the Loan Account to each Fixed Option up to the
amount that was originally borrowed. Any excess over such amount will be
transferred to the Variable Accounts relative to your most recent instructions.
Any payment we receive from you while you have a loan will be first considered a
loan repayment, unless you tell us in writing it is a premium payment.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
Separate Account -- This policy uses the Pacific Select Exec Separate Account
owned by PM Group Life Insurance Company, hereafter called the "Separate
Account". We established the Separate Account and maintain it under the laws of
Arizona. The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts, called Variable
Accounts. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from the assets of each
Variable Account are credited or charged against it without regard to our other
income, gains or losses. Assets may be put in our Separate Account to support
this policy and other variable life policies. Assets may be put in our Separate
Account for other purposes, but not to support contracts or policies other than
variable life contracts or policies.
The assets of our Separate Account are our property. The portion of its assets
equal to the reserves and other policy liabilities with respect to our Separate
Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other
business we conduct. We may transfer assets of a Variable Account in excess
P98-52 Page 17 NY
of the reserves and other liabilities with respect to that Variable Account to
another Variable Account or to our general account. All obligations arising
under the policy are general corporate obligations of ours. We do not hold
ourselves out to be trustees of the Separate Account assets.
Variable Accounts -- Each Variable Account may invest its assets in a separate
class of shares of a designated investment company or companies. The Variable
Accounts of our Separate Account that were available for your initial
allocations are shown in the Policy Specifications. From time to time, we may
make other Variable Accounts available to you. We will provide you with written
notice of all material details including investment objectives and all charges.
We reserve the right, subject to compliance with the law then in effect, to:
. change or add designated investment companies;
. add, remove or combine Variable Accounts;
. add, delete or make substitutions for the securities that are held or
purchased by the Separate Account or any Variable Account;
. register or deregister any Variable Account under the Investment Company Act
of 1940;
. change the classification of any Variable Account;
. operate any Variable Account as a managed investment company or as a unit
investment trust;
. combine the assets of any Variable Account with other separate accounts or
subaccounts of ours or our affiliates;
. transfer the assets of any Variable Account to other separate accounts or
subaccounts of ours or our affiliates;
. run any Variable Account under the direction of a committee, board, or other
group;
. restrict or eliminate any voting rights of policy Owners with respect to any
Variable Account, or other persons who have voting rights as to any Variable
Account;
. change the allocations permitted under the policy;
. terminate and liquidate any Variable Account; and
. make any other change needed to comply with law.
If any of these changes result in a material change in the underlying investment
of a Variable Account of our Separate Account, we will notify you of such
change.
Unless required by law or regulation, an investment policy may not be changed
without our consent. We will not change the investment policy of the Separate
Account without the approval of the Insurance Commissioner in the state of
Arizona and without following filing and other procedures established by
insurance regulators of the state of issue.
SUBSTITUTION OF INSURED
Benefit -- Subject to our approval, you may request a substitution of the
Insured under this policy for a new Insured after the first policy year. We will
require the following before we substitute the Insured:
. The new Insured must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us.
. You must submit a written application for the substitution.
We may adjust the Face Amount, Accumulated Value, Surrender Charge, and any
policy fees and charges to reflect the new Insured. A revised schedule of
benefits will be sent to you outlining the benefits for the new Insured. Riders
on the new Insured will be added only with our consent and subject to our
requirements for those riders.
If approved, the substitution will be effective on the next Monthly Payment Date
on or next following our approval.
P98-52 Page 18 NY
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Entire Contract -- This policy is a contract between you and us. This policy,
any attached endorsements, benefits and riders and the attached copy of the
initial application are the entire contract, except as follows. Any application
or written notice of exercise of policy options made after the policy has been
issued will also become part of the contract upon our acceptance of such
application or notice and our mailing of same to your address last known to us.
Only an authorized officer is permitted to change this contract or extend the
time for paying premiums. Any such change must be in writing.
All statements in the application shall, in the absence of fraud, be deemed
representations and not warranties. We will not use any statement to contest
this policy or defend a claim on grounds of misrepresentation unless the
statement is in an application.
Incontestability -- We will not contest this policy unless there was a material
misstatement in an application, including any reinstatement application. Except
for failure to pay premiums, this policy cannot be contested after the
expiration of the following time periods:
. The initial Face Amount cannot be contested after the policy has been in
force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the later of the
Policy Date or any reinstatement date; and
. An increase in the Face Amount, for which evidence of insurability was
required, cannot be contested after the increased amount has been in force
during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the later of its effective
date or any reinstatement date.
Non-Participating This policy will not share in any of our surplus earnings.
Juvenile Insured -- If an Insured's Age on the Policy Date is less than 20, the
Insured may apply for Nonsmoker risk status on attaining Age 20. This option
must be requested in writing and accompanied by satisfactory evidence of
nonsmoking.
Suicide Exclusion -- If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane,
within two years of the Policy Date or any reinstatement date, no death benefit
proceeds will be paid. Instead, we will return the sum of the premiums paid,
less the sum of any Policy Debt and withdrawals.
If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the
effective date of any increase in the Face Amount, no benefit will be paid with
respect to such increase. Instead, we will refund the Cost of Insurance Charges
made with respect to that increase.
Misstatement -- If the Insured's age is misstated in the application, the amount
of the death benefit shall be the greater of that which would be purchased by
the most recent Cost of Insurance Charge at the correct age, or the Guideline
Minimum Death Benefit for the correct age.
If the Insured's age is misstated, the Accumulated Value will be modified by
recalculating all prior Cost of Insurance charges and other monthly deductions
based on the correct age.

your last known address. This report will include the following information for
the policy quarter:
. the Accumulated Value;

. any Surrender Charges;
. any existing Policy Debt;
. transactions that occurred during the policy quarter;

P98-52 Page 19 NY
. any information required by law.
In addition to the above reports, an annual report will also be mailed to you.
The report will contain financial statements for the Separate Account and the
designated investment company or companies in which the Separate Account
invests, the latter of which will include a list of the portfolio securities of
the investment company, as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940. We
will also send any other reports as required by Federal securities law.
Policy Illustrations -- Upon request we will give you an illustration of the
future benefits under this policy based upon both guaranteed and current cost
factor assumptions. However, if you ask us to do this more than once in any
policy year, we reserve the right to charge you a fee not to exceed $25 per
request for this service. Illustrated benefits that are not guaranteed, such as
benefits based on the current cost factor assumptions, will vary depending upon
a number of factors, including but not limited to, changes in future investment
performance.
Basis of Values -- A detailed statement showing how values are determined has
been filed with the state insurance department. All values are at least equal to
the minimums required by the law of the state in which this policy is delivered,
based on the Commissioner's 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and interest
at the rate of 3%, except for unisex issues which are based on the 1980 CSO
Table B and interest at the rate of 3%.
Ownership of Assets -- We have the exclusive and absolute control of our assets,
including all assets in the Separate Account.
Compliance -- We reserve the right to make any change to the provisions of this
policy to comply with, or give you the benefit of, any Federal or state statute,
rule, or regulation, including but not limited to requirements for life
insurance contracts under the Code or any state.
We will provide you with a copy of any such change, and file such a change with
the insurance supervisory official of the state in which this policy is
delivered. You have the right to refuse any such change.
