ANNUAL RENEWABLE TERM RIDER
INSURED - As used in this rider, "Insured" means the individual covered under
the policy.
ANNUAL RENEWABLE TERM (ART) FACE AMOUNT - The ART Face Amount provided by this
rider is shown in the Policy Specifications.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION - This rider provides term insurance on the Insured under
this policy. This rider has no cash value, but it affects the cash value of the
policy. The death benefit of the policy to which this rider is attached is
modified to include the ART Face Amount under this rider. It is now as follows:
The death benefit equals the greater of the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit or
the death benefit as calculated under one of the options below:
. Option A: the Face Amount of the policy plus the ART Face Amount;
. Option B: the Face Amount of the policy plus the ART Face Amount plus the
Accumulated Value on the date of death;
. Option C: the Face Amount of the policy plus the ART Face Amount plus
premiums paid and less withdrawals taken.
CHANGING THE ART FACE AMOUNT - Subject to our approval, you may change the ART
Face Amount by Written Request during the lifetime of the Insured. Such request
may be made not more than once per policy year.
ART FACE AMOUNT INCREASES - You must provide evidence of insurability
satisfactory to us before any request for an increase in ART Face Amount becomes
effective. An Administrative Charge not to exceed $100 will be deducted from
the policy's Accumulated Value on the effective date of any such increase in
ART Face Amount. The effective date of the increase will be the first Monthly
Payment Date on or following the date all applicable conditions are met.
ART FACE AMOUNT DECREASES - Any decrease in ART Face Amount that you request for
any policy year will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any,
and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the
original ART Face Amount. The effective date of the decrease will be the first
Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive your Written Request.
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE - Beginning on the Policy Date and for every month
thereafter, there will be a charge equal to the Cost of Insurance Charge
applicable to the following:
. the initial ART Face Amount; plus
. each increase in the ART Face Amount.
The monthly Cost of Insurance Charge for the death benefit payable under this
rider is (1) multiplied by (2) where:
(1) is the applicable monthly Cost of Insurance Rate for this rider; and
(2) is the Net Amount at Risk attributed to the ART Face Amount.
The Net Amount at Risk for the policy is calculated by taking the total death
benefit of the policy divided by 1.002466 and subtracting the Accumulated Value
at the beginning of the policy month before the Monthly Deduction is due.
The Net Amount at Risk is allocated between the policy and this rider in
proportion to the Face Amounts of each as of the Monthly Payment Date.
If there have been increases in the ART Face Amount, 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. 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. Any changes in the Cost of Insurance
Rates will apply uniformly to all members of the same class.
The Cost of Insurance Rates used to calculate the Cost of Insurance Charges for
an increase in coverage necessary to meet the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit
will be the same as shown in the Policy Specifications.

Policy Specifications. We reserve the right to charge less than such amount.
The amount of this charge is based on the amount of insurance issued under this

attached, is modified to include this rider. For the purpose of the Withdrawals
provision, this rider is treated the same as any other increase in

Amount of the policy to which this rider is attached after 5 years from the
effective date of the rider coverage or at the Insured's Age 80. Cost of

conversions. No evidence of insurability will be required. The ART Face Amount
will be cancelled on the effective date of the corresponding increase in policy
Face Amount.

notified.
