P98-52 Page 5 NY
Written Request -- is a request in writing, signed by you, and received by us at
our Home Office.
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 Home Office. 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. If you have named a contingent beneficiary, that person becomes the
beneficiary if the beneficiary dies before the Insured.
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 Home Office or to our agent.
Additional premiums, if any, are payable in advance at our Home Office. 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. The Planned
Premium is the amount you have identified in the application, or later changed
by Written Request, which you plan to pay. Payment of the Planned Premium does
not guarantee that the policy will mature.
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.
P98-52 Page 6 NY
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.
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 or rider benefits. Such Guideline
Premium change will be shown in the supplemental schedule of benefits and
premiums we will send to you at the time of the change. See the Tax
Qualification as Life Insurance subsection of the General Provisions section for
details. Also, see the Tax Qualification as Life Insurance and MEC Status
subsections of the General Provisions section to see how premium payments can
affect the federal tax treatment of your policy.
DEATH BENEFIT
Death Benefit -- This policy provides a death benefit on the death of the
Insured before the Maturity Date. 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:
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
P98-52 Page 7 NY
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 Home Office.
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 Home Office, due proof of the Insured's death (a certified copy of the death
certificate or, if unavailable, other legal documentation which we accept) and
information sufficient to identify the beneficiary. 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 as described in the Timing of Payments
and Transfers Section.
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
. 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.
P98-52 Page 8 NY
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. If
there have been prior increases in Face Amount, the original Face Amount and any
increase(s) in Face Amount will be decreased proportionately.
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.
Paid-Up Insurance -- On each policy anniversary you have the option to 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.
Change in Benefits -- Under the Guideline Premium Test, any change in policy
or rider benefits will require an adjustment to the guideline premium
limitation. See the Tax Qualification as Life Insurance subsection of the
General Provisions section for details.
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 3.00% in the first 10 policy years and
3.30% thereafter. At our discretion, we may credit a higher rate of interest.
Once Credited, any such interest is nonforfeitable, except indirectly due to any
applicable Surrender Charge. 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
P98-52 Page 9 NY
. 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 adjusted on each Valuation Date. To
calculate the Unit Value of a Variable Account on any Valuation Date, we
multiply the Unit Value from the previous Valuation Date by the Net Investment
Factor. The Net Investment Factor, also called unit value, for a Variable
Account on any Valuation Date is (a) minus (b), divided by (c), where:
(a) is the Net Asset Value of the shares in the designated investment companies
in which the Variable Account invests as of the close of the business day,
excluding the impact of any policy transactions after the prior Valuation
Date;
(b) is the value of charges assessed by us since the prior Valuation Date for
income taxes attributable to the operation of the Variable Account; and
(c) is the value of all assets in the Variable Account as of the close of the
previous Valuation Date.
The Net Asset Value of an investment company's shares held in each Variable
Account shall be the value reported to us by that investment company.
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:
. 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.
P98-52 Page 10 NY
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 (NAR) -- The NAR 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 NAR 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. Interest to be credited to the
Fixed Accumulated Value will be reviewed no more frequently than quarterly and
no less frequently than annually to determine whether an adjustment is
necessary. Cost of insurance rates and other expense factors will be reviewed
no more frequently than annually and no less frequently than once every five
years to determine whether an adjustment is necessary.
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 the sum of the M&E Risk
Asset Charge and the M&E Risk Face Amount Charge. These are calculated as
follows:
P98-52 Page 11 NY
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.
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 and only if any such increase is first approved by the
Superintendent of Insurance of the state of New York. 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, but only if any such
charge is first approved by the Superintendent of Insurance of the state of New
York.
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 12 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.
At reinstatement, the surrender charge will be that in effect at lapse, and will
then decrease each policy month thereafter according to the surrender charges
shown in the Policy Specifications pages.
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.
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;

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 AV 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
Surrender Charge varies each policy month and is shown in the Table of Surrender
Charges in the Policy Specifications.
If there have been increases in the Face Amount, each increase will have a
corresponding Surrender Charge related to the amount of the increase. At the
time of the increase, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits
containing the Table of Surrender Charges for the increase. If there have been
decreases in the Face Amount, including decreases in Face Amount due to
withdrawals, the 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 $500 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.
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. If a withdrawal requires a decrease in Face Amount and if there have
been prior increases in Face Amount, the original Face Amount and any
increase(s) in Face Amount will be decreased proportionately.

TIMING OF PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
Variable Accounts -- With respect to allocations made to the Variable Accounts,
we will pay death benefit proceeds, withdrawals and Net Cash Surrender Value on
surrender and withdrawals 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.
Fixed Options -- With respect to payments or transfers to be made from the Fixed
Options (or if this policy is continued under a fixed non-forfeiture benefit)
and with respect to any loan to be made from the Fixed Options, except for loans
to pay premiums to us, we may defer such payment or transfer for up to six
months after we receive your request. If deferred more than 10 days, we will pay
interest at the rate which is the current rate payable on the interest only
option for income benefits.
Interest on Death and Maturity Proceeds -- We will pay interest on death
proceeds from the date of death and on maturity proceeds from the maturity date,
in both cases to the date of payment, at the rate which is the current rate
payable on the interest only option for income benefits.
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.
Further, we guarantee that if you elect an income benefit, it will be at least
equal to that of any single premium immediate annuity that we offer at the time
of your election.

P98-52 Page 15 NY
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.
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 Pacific Life & Annuity Company, hereafter called the "Separate
Account". The assets of the Separate Account shall be valued at least as often
as any policy benefits vary, but at least monthly. We established the Separate
Account and maintain it under the laws and regulations of Arizona and New York.
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.
P98-52 Page 16 NY
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 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 17 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 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
misrepresentation 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, which was applied for and 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; and
. If this policy was issued under a term insurance conversion option, the
converted amount cannot be contested after the policy has been in force
during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the later of the issue of
the term policy or any reinstatement date of this policy.
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 within two years of the
Policy 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 within two years of the effective date of any
increase in the Face Amount which was applied for, 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.
If any insurance amount of this policy was issued under a term insurance
conversion option, the two-year period for excluding death by suicide for such
amount will begin with the later of the issue of the term policy of this policy.
If such amount is the original policy Face Amount, we will return the sum of the
premiums paid, less the sum of any Policy Debt and withdrawals. If such amount
is not the original policy Face Amount, we will refund the Cost of Insurance
Charges made with respect to such amount.
Misstatement -- If the Insured's age is misstated, the death benefit will be
adjusted and will be based on the NAR multiplied by the ratio of the incorrect
Cost of Insurance (COI) rate to the correct COI rate. If the Guideline Minimum
Death Benefit for the correct age is larger, the death benefit will be this
larger amount.
Evidence of Insurability -- We reserve the right to require evidence of
insurability for any policy change, or any premium payment, which would result
in an increase in NAR.
P98-52 Page 18 NY
Reports -- A report will be mailed to you at the end of each policy quarter to
your last known address. This report will include the following information for
the policy quarter:
. the Accumulated Value;
. the Cash Surrender Value;
. the current death benefit;
. any Surrender Charges;
. any existing Policy Debt;
. transactions that occurred during the policy quarter;
. changes in the Guideline Premiums, if applicable; and
. 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.
Tax Qualification as Life Insurance -- This policy is intended to qualify as a
life insurance contract for federal tax purposes, and the death benefit under
this policy is intended to qualify for federal income tax exclusion. The policy,
including any other rider, benefit or endorsement, shall be interpreted to
ensure and maintain such tax qualification, despite any other provision to the
contrary. We will not accept a premium payment which would cause the policy to
fail to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.
If at any time the premiums paid under the policy exceed the amount allowable
for such tax qualification, the excess amount, including any associated
investment gains or losses, shall be removed from the policy as of the date of
its payment in accordance with federal tax law, and any appropriate adjustment
in the death benefit shall be made as of such date. The excess amount, including
any associated investment gains or losses, shall be refunded no later than 60
days after the end of the applicable contract year as determined under federal
tax law. For any such refund, any premium load originally assessed will be
refunded and no surrender charges will apply.
If this excess amount is not refunded by the end of such 60-day period, the
death benefit shall be increased retroactively to the minimum extent necessary
so that at no time is the death benefit ever less than the amount necessary to
ensure or maintain such tax qualification, and the Accumulated Value will be
reduced to reflect the increased Monthly Deductions as a result of such death
benefit increase.
NY

If you request a decrease in policy or rider benefits, it may cause a reduction
in any applicable limitations on premiums or cash values for the policy under
federal tax law. Such a reduction in these limits may require us to make a
distribution from the policy equal to the greatest amount by which the premiums
paid or cash values for the policy, as determined under federal tax, exceed any
such reduced limits, in order to maintain the policy's tax qualification. If
such a distribution is made, the distribution will be paid to you and the
Accumulated Value will be reduced by the amount of the distribution. However, no
request for a decrease in policy or rider benefits will be allowed to the extent
that the resulting reduction in such tax limits would require us to distribute
more than the Net Cash Surrender Value for the policy.
MEC Status -- Unless you have given us Written Notice to the contrary, the
provisions of this MEC Status subsection apply. MEC stands for Modified
Endowment Contract. Under federal tax law, if the funding of a life insurance
contract occurs too rapidly, it becomes a MEC and fails to qualify for certain
favorable treatment as a result. This policy is intended to qualify as a life
insurance contract that is not a MEC for federal tax purposes. This policy,
including any other rider, benefit or endorsement, shall be interpreted to
prevent the policy from being subject to such MEC treatment, despite any other
provision to the contrary. We will not accept a payment as premium or otherwise
which would cause the policy to become a MEC.
If at any time the amounts paid under the policy exceed the limit for avoiding
such MEC treatment, the excess amount, including any associated investment gains
or losses, shall be removed from the policy as of the date of its payment in
accordance with federal tax law, and any appropriate adjustment in the death
benefit shall be made as of such date. The excess amount, including any
associated investment gains or losses, shall be refunded no later than 60 days
after the end of the applicable contract year as determined under federal tax
law. For any such refund, any premium load originally assessed will be refunded
and no surrender charges will apply.
If this excess amount is not refunded by the end of such 60-day period, the
death benefit shall be increased retroactively to the minimum extent necessary
so that at no time is the death benefit ever less than the amount necessary to
avoid such MEC treatment, and the Accumulated Value will be reduced to reflect
the increased Monthly Deductions as a result of such death benefit increase.
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. 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.
Other Distributions of Accumulated Value - If the NAR ever exceeds three times
the original Face Amount, we reserve the right to make a distribution of
Accumulated Value to make the NAR equal three time the original Face Amount. In
such case, the distribution will be treated as a premium refund and no surrender
charge will be imposed. By treating the distribution as a premium refund, we
mean that, in addition to the distribution of Accumulated Value which you will
receive, we will also pay you an amount representing a return of premium load
associated with the distribution. The amount representing the return of premium
load will be equal to the reduction in Accumulated Value multiplied by
(1/(1-premium load rate))-1, provided that such amount can never exceed the
total premium load paid under the policy.
Termination -- This policy will terminate on the earliest of:
. the death of the Insured;
. the lapse or surrender of this policy; and
. the Maturity Date.
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.
