  NOTICE OF POTENTIAL INCOME TAX IMPLICATIONS FOR MODIFIED ENDOWMENT

  On November 10, 1988, the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988
  (TAMRA) was signed by President Reagan. This law changes the income taxation
  of cash withdrawn from certain affected life insurance policies called
  Modified Endowment Contracts, or MECs. Due to the amount of premium you plan
  to pay into this policy, you will be affected by this law.

  It is important for you to understand that all distributions made from your
  policy as applied for, including policy loans, withdrawals, partial surrenders
  and certain dividends (if applicable), will be considered to be a distribution
  of any gain. This means that if your policy is in a gain position when the
  withdrawal is made (i.e., the value of your policy exceeds the amount you've
  paid into it), you will owe ordinary income tax on the amount you withdraw. In
  addition, a 10% penalty tax is imposed by the IRS on any taxable distribution
  made prior to age 59 1/2 , except on disability or if taken in the form of an
  annuity.

  The insurance proceeds payable to your beneficiary upon the death of the
  Proposed Insured(s) will continue to be income tax free under current
  legislation.

  This notice is designed to inform you of the income taxation of life insurance
  based upon our understanding of the information currently available. It is not
  intended to provide you with legal advice, which neither John Hancock nor its
  Representatives can give. Therefore, if you have questions as to the
  applicability of any provision of the law, you should seek the advice of your
  own tax and legal counsel.

  If you wish to modify your planned premium payments to avoid creating a
  Modified Endowment Contract, your Marketing Representative will assist you.
  Otherwise, please sign the Acknowledgment below.

                    Policyowner Acknowledgment and Signature

  I have read the above Notice of Potential Income Tax Implications. I
  understand that my premium payments will cause the proposed policy to become a
  Modified Endowment. I also understand the potential income tax effects of a
  distribution from a Modified Endowment.

                                               Statements to the Company's Agent

                            AGREEMENT AND SIGNATURES

A.   The statements and answers on pages 1 through 4 of Part A and Part B of the
     attached application are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, complete,
     true, and correctly recorded. All statements and answers are
     representations and not warranties, and with all Parts B of the attached
     application will form the basis for and be a part of any new policy or
     additional benefit provision issued on this application.
B.   Coverage will take effect as provided in and subject to the terms and
     conditions of Conditional Temporary Insurance Agreement pages 11 and 12
     bearing the same date and number of this Part A if: (1) an advance payment
     of at least the Minimum Temporary Insurance Premium is made with this Part
     A which satisfies the requirements of such Conditional Temporary Insurance
     Agreement; and (2) the amount applied for in this and all other
     applications now pending in John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Company
     does not exceed $1,000,000 life insurance if an individual policy or
     $3,000,000 life insurance if a survivorship policy.
C.   If the applicant has a right to have the new policy issued as requested
     without completing any Part B, the new policy will take effect as of its
     Date of Issue, provided the initial payment has been made with this
     application.
D.   In cases other than those described in B and C above, any new policy or
     Benefit provision will take effect as of the Date of Issue of the policy,
     but: (1) only on delivery to and receipt by the Applicant of the policy and
     payment of the minimum initial premium thereon and (2) only if at the time
     of such delivery and payment each person proposed for insurance in parts A
     and B of this application is living and has not consulted or been examined
     or treated by a physician or practitioner since the latest Part B
     pertaining to such person was completed.
E.   No agent or medical examiner is authorized to make or discharge contracts
     or waive or change any of the conditions or provisions of any application,
     policy, or receipt, or to accept risks or pass on insurability. Any such
     unauthorized action is not notice to or knowledge of the Company. A medical
     examiner is not an agent of the Company.

      Provisions F and G apply only if a Variable Product is applied for

F.   All benefits, payments, and values, including the Death Benefit and Account
     or Cash Value, under any policy issued which is based upon the investment
     experience of a separate investment account may increase or decrease in
     accordance with the investment experience of the separate investment
     account and are not guaranteed as to fixed dollar amount. The Account Value
     or Cash Value may even decrease to zero.
G.   A prospectus for the policy applied for has been given to the Proposed
     Insured and/or to the Applicant.
     Prospectus Date: ____________

        Provisions H, I, J, K, and L apply if the policy applied for is the
                          result of a term conversion

H.   The new policy will be a new, separate contract. If the new policy is
     issued in exchange for the original insurance, all liability of the Company
     under the original insurance will cease when the new policy takes effect.
     Until the new policy is issued, coverage will still be in force under the
     original policy. Coverage under the new policy will take effect as
     indicated in Paragraph C above.
I.   The application for the original insurance, unless such insurance is now
     incontestable, and the application for each additional benefit provision
     which is to be retained as specified on page 4 of this Application, unless
     such provision is now incontestable, will also form a basis for and be a
     part of the new policy.
J.   If the original policy or benefit provision is being exchanged and is
     subject to an assignment, the new policy will be subject to the same
     assignment unless it is discharged or, in the case of a policy loan
     assignment, unless the indebtedness has been repaid.
K.   If the new policy is issued in exchange for the original policy, any
     nonforfeiture option election applicable to the original policy will be
     applicable to the new policy, if available, unless otherwise requested in
     writing.
L.   Ownership and control of any policy issued on the attached application will
     be determined by the terms of the new policy.
     All statements and answers in this application are to the best of my
     knowledge and belief, true and complete. They are representations and not
     warranties. I assent to this application.

     Information obtained about your insurability will be treated as
confidential. The Company may, however, make a brief report thereon to the
Medical Information Bureau, a non-profit membership organization of life
insurance companies which operates an information exchange on behalf of its
members. If you apply to another Bureau member company for life or health
insurance coverage, or a claim for benefits is submitted to such a company, the
Bureau, upon request, will supply such company with the information it may have
in its file.

     Upon receipt of a request from you, the Bureau will arrange disclosure of
any information it may have in your file. If you question the accuracy of
information in the Bureau's file, you may contact the Bureau and seek a
correction in accordance with procedures similar to those set forth in the
Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. The address of the Bureau's information
office is:

           Medical Information Bureau
           Post Office Box 105, Essex Station
           Boston, Massachusetts 02112
           Telephone (617) 426-3660

     The Company may also release limited information in its file to other
properly authorized life insurance companies to which you may apply for life or
health insurance, or to which a claim for benefits may be submitted.

     Information may be released to proper regulatory agencies on request and to
insurance companies in connection with reinsurance.

     Underwriting actions are not reported to the Bureau, nor is the Company
informed through the Bureau of the underwriting actions of other companies to
whom you may have applied for life or health insurance.
