(2) Premium Tax Charge: [2.50]% of each premium paid. This is an approximate
average of actual taxes, assessments, fees and other charges We pay. The

(3) Federal Deferred Acquisition Cost (DAC Tax) Charge: [1.25]% of each premium
paid.
(4) Monthly Administrative Charge: $[5.00].
(5) Cost of Insurance Charges: See Page 14.
(6) Monthly Acquisition Charge:
(a) [0.30%] of the Load Basis Amount in policy months [1-12] and in months
[1-12] following the effective date of an increase in Specified
Amount;
(b) [0.60%] of the Load Basis Amount in policy months [13-24] and in
months [13-24] following the effective date of an increase in
Specified Amount;
(c) [2.00%] of the Load Basis Amount in policy months [25-120] and in

Specified Amount;
The Load Basis Amount shown on Page 3 is based on the initial Specified
Amount. The revised Load Basis Amount applicable to any increase will be
shown on a supplemental policy specifications page. A decrease in Specified
Amount will have no effect on the Monthly Acquisition Charge.
(7) Mortality & Expense Risk Charge:
(a) for policy years [1 - 25], is a charge not to exceed [0.0020471%]
daily on the assets in each division; this equals an annual rate of
[0.75]%; and
(b) for policy years [26 and thereafter], is a charge not to exceed
[0.0008207%] daily on the assets in each division; this equals an
annual rate of [0.30]%.
Basis of Computation:
Minimum Fixed Account Options Accumulation Values are based on the [1980] CSO
Male or Female, Smoker or Non Smoker Mortality Tables with interest at [3.00]%
per year. The equivalent monthly guaranteed interest rate factor is [.246627%].
The method used in computing the Separate Account Accumulation Values is in
accordance with actuarial procedures that recognize the variable nature of the
Separate Account. The method used is such that if the Net Investment Factor,
less one, for all divisions of the Separate Account, at all times from the
Policy Date, is equal to an effective annual interest rate of [3.00]%, then the
Separate Account Accumulation Values will be at least equal to the minimum
Accumulation Values, which would have been required by the law of the state in
which this policy is delivered, of an equivalent policy in which all Net
Premiums have been allocated to the General Account.

to the agent for delivery to You; or 2) the date We receive all administrative

GENERAL PROVISIONS
THE CONTRACT - This policy is issued in consideration of the application and
payment of the initial premium. This policy, the attached copy of the
application and/or endorsements, and any attached supplemental applications and
riders form the entire contract. All statements made by or for the Insured are,
in the absence of fraud, considered to be representations and not warranties. We
will not use any statement by or for the Insured to void this policy or to deny
a claim unless it is contained in the application.
POLICY CHANGES - Only an authorized Officer of the Company can change the terms
or waive provisions of this policy. A change must be in writing.
INCONTESTABILITY - We will not contest this policy after it has been in force

from the Issue Date, the amount payable will be no more than the sum of the
premiums paid less any Debt and any Withdrawals.
If the Insured, while sane or insane, commits suicide within 2 years from the
effective date of an increase in the Specified Amount, the amount payable under
such increase will be the sum of the monthly deductions for such increase. The
amount payable under this provision will be paid to the Beneficiary. Any amount
payable will first be used to pay the interest of anyone to whom this policy has
been assigned.
6
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX - If the age or sex of the Insured has been misstated
in the application, We will adjust the Death Benefit to reflect the correct age
or sex. In such event, the Death Benefit We will pay will be equal to:
(1) The Surrender Value on the date of death of the Insured; plus
(2) The Death Benefit, less the Accumulation Value on the date of death of the
Insured, multiplied by the ratio of (a) the cost of insurance actually
deducted at the beginning of the policy month in which death occurs, to (b)
the cost of insurance that should have been deducted based on the correct
age and sex.
If the Insured's age or sex has been misstated in the application the amount
payable under any rider by reason of death of the Insured shall be the amount of
insurance which the rider cost, for the policy month during which such death
occurred, would have purchased had the cost of the benefits provided under the
rider been calculated using the correct age or sex.
ASSIGNMENT - You may assign this policy. We are not bound by an assignment
unless We receive notice of it at Our Service Office prior to the payment of any
benefits by Us. Policy rights and benefits are subject to any assignment. We are
not obliged to determine that an assignment is valid or sufficient.
PROCEEDS - Is the amount payable on surrender or on the death of the Insured.
Proceeds payable on the date of surrender will be the Surrender Value. Proceeds
payable on the death of the Insured will be in accordance with the Death Benefit
provisions. Proceeds are subject to any adjustments provided in the
Incontestability, Suicide and Misstatement of Age or Sex provisions and the
restrictions below.
PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS - When the Insured dies while the policy is in force, policy
proceeds may be paid in a lump sum or left with Us for payment under a
settlement option that We make available.
The amount applied under an option for the benefit of any beneficiary must be at
least $2,500. The amount of each payment under an option must be at least $25.
You may make, change or revoke an election at any time while the Insured is
alive. Following the death of the Insured, the beneficiary may elect an option
if You have not elected one or if proceeds are payable in one sum. A beneficiary
may make a change in payment under a settlement option You elect only if You
provided for it in Your election.
A change of beneficiary automatically cancels a previous election of a
settlement option.
If this policy is assigned, the assignee's portion of proceeds will be paid in
one sum. Any balance of proceeds may be applied under a settlement option.
To the extent allowed by law, all payments under the policy will be free from
creditor claims or legal process.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENT - We will usually pay any amounts payable on surrender,
Withdrawal or policy loan allocated to the Separate Account within seven (7)
days after written notice is received. We will usually pay any Death Benefit
proceeds within seven (7) days after We receive due proof of the death of the
Insured. Payment of any amount payable on surrender, Withdrawal, policy loan or
death may be postponed whenever: (1) The New York Stock Exchange is closed other
than customary week-end and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock
Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission;
(2) The Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, permits postponement for
the protection of policyowners; or (3) An emergency exists as determined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as a result of which disposal of securities
is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine
the value of the net assets of the Separate Account. Transfers may also be
postponed under the above circumstances.
7
We may defer the portion of any transfer, amount payable on surrender,
Withdrawal or policy loan from the Fixed Account Options for not more than six
(6) months. However, no payment from the Fixed Account Options to pay premiums
on policies with Us will be deferred.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE - The policy is intended to qualify as
life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code. The Death Benefit provided by
the policy is intended to qualify for the Federal income tax exclusion. If at
any time the premium paid under the policy exceeds the amount allowable for such
qualification, We will refund the premium to You with interest within 60 days
after the end of the Policy Year in which the premium was received. If, for any
reason We do not refund the excess premium within 60 days after the end of such
Policy Year, the excess premiums will be held in a separate deposit fund and
credited with interest until refunded to You. The interest rate used on any
refund, or credited to the separate deposit fund created by this provision, will
be the excess premium's pro rata rate of return on the contract until the date
We notify You that the excess premium and the earnings on such excess premium
have been removed from the policy.
After the date of such notice, the interest rate paid on the separate deposit
fund will be such rate as We may declare from time to time on advance premium
deposit funds. We also reserve the right to refuse to make any change in the
Specified Amount or the Death Benefit Option or any other change if such change
would cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under the Internal
Revenue Code.
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT - The policy will be allowed to become a Modified Endowment
contract under the Internal Revenue Code only with Your consent. Otherwise, if
at any time the premiums paid under the policy exceed the limit for avoiding
modified endowment contract status, We will refund the excess premium to You
with interest within 60 days after the end of the Policy Year in which the
premium was received. If, for any reason We do not refund the excess premium
within 60 days after the end of such Policy Year, the excess premium will be
held in a separate deposit fund and credited with interest until refunded to
You. The interest rate used on any refund, or credited to the separate deposit
fund created by this provision, will be the excess premium's pro rata rate of
return on the contract until the date We notify You that the excess premium and
the earnings on such excess premium have been removed from the policy. After the
date of such notice, the interest rate paid on the separate deposit fund will be
such rate as We may declare from time to time on advance premium deposit funds.
ANNUAL SUMMARY - At least once each Policy Year, without charge, We will send
You a report showing at least the current Surrender Value, the value for each
Fixed Account Option and each division of the Separate Account applicable to the
policy, premiums paid, incurred charges, and any outstanding policy loans for
the period covered by the report. We will also furnish any other reports and
information required by applicable law, rules and regulations.
ILLUSTRATION OF BENEFITS AND VALUES - Upon request, We will provide
illustrations of Death Benefits and Surrender Values at any time after the
Policy Date. The first illustration in any Policy Year will be furnished free of
charge. If You request more than one illustration in a Policy Year We may charge
a fee not to exceed $50.00.
OTHER TAXES - We reserve the right to make a charge for Federal, state or local
taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account or to Our operations with
respect to this policy if We incur any increase in such taxes.
8
EFFECTS OF THE LONG TERM FIXED ACCOUNT ON RIDERS AND ADDITIONAL
BENEFITS -
(1) Accelerated Benefits Rider: Any necessary transfers of accumulation value
to the General Account as stipulated in the "Right to Exercise Rider
Benefit" and the "Effect on Your Policy" provisions of the Rider will be
processed in the following order:
(a) from the divisions of the Separate Account in the same proportion that
the accumulation value in each division bears to the total
accumulation value in all divisions of the Separate account;
(b) from the Long Term Fixed Account when the accumulation value in the
divisions of the Separate Account has been exhausted.
(2) Overloan Protection Endorsement: Transfers from the General Account or the
Long Term Fixed Account to the divisions of the Separate Account will no
longer be allowed when the Overloan Protection feature takes effect.
TERMINATION - All coverage under the policy will end on the date any one of the
following events occurs:
(1) You request in writing that coverage end;
(2) The Insured dies; or
(3) The Grace Period ends without payment of premium sufficient to continue
this policy.
PREMIUM PROVISIONS
PREMIUM PAYMENTS - The initial premium is due and payable on the Policy Date and
is payable on or before the delivery of the policy. The initial premium may not
be less than the minimum initial premium as shown on Page 3. No subsequent
premium payment may be less than as shown on Page 3. After the initial premium
is paid any subsequent premiums can be paid at any time. All premiums are
payable in advance at Our Service Office or to Our authorized agent. A receipt
signed by one of Our Officers will be provided upon request.
PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUM AND PREMIUM FREQUENCY - The Planned Periodic Premium
and Premium Frequency, as shown on Page 3, are selected by You. The Planned
Periodic Premium is the amount of premium You intend to pay. The Premium
Frequency is how often You intend to pay the Planned Periodic Premium. Payment
of the Planned Periodic Premium is Your option.
We will send You Planned Periodic Premium payment reminder notices. If the mode
of premium payment is preauthorized check, government allotment or payroll
deduction, notice of any Planned Periodic Premium due will not be sent.
Changes in Premium Frequency and increases or decreases in the Planned Periodic
Premium may be made by You by providing Us with Notice.
No premium payment may be less than as shown on Page 3.
PAYMENT OF A PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUM MAY NOT PREVENT THE POLICY FROM
TERMINATING. Failure to pay a Planned Periodic Premium will not, in itself,
cause the policy to terminate. The policy will terminate only if the conditions
occur as described in the Grace Period provision.
Planned Periodic Premium payments may be made until the earlier of the death of
the Insured or the Insured's Attained Age 100.
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS - You will determine the allocation of the Net
Premiums among the Fixed Account Options and the divisions of the Separate
Account. The minimum percentage that may be allocated to any of these accounts
is 1%.
9
UNSCHEDULED PREMIUMS - Premium payments in addition to the Planned Periodic
Premium may be made until the earlier of the death of the Insured or the
Insured's Attained Age 100.
If there is an existing policy loan, premium payments received in the amount of
the Planned Periodic Premium, received at the Premium Frequency, will be applied
as premium unless otherwise instructed by You. Payments received in an amount
greater than the Planned Periodic Premium, or received other than at the Premium
Frequency, will first be applied as policy loan repayments, then as premium when
the Debt is fully repaid unless otherwise instructed by You.
PREMIUM LIMITATION - We reserve the right to limit the amount of premiums paid
in accordance with the Compliance with the Internal Revenue Code and Modified
Endowment provisions. We also 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
Accumulation Value. If satisfactory evidence of insurability is not received,
the premium or portion thereof may be returned.
GRACE PERIOD - A Grace Period of 61 days will be permitted for payment of the
minimum amount needed to continue the policy. We will notify You and any
assignee of the minimum amount due at least 30 days before the end of the Grace
Period. The policy will enter the Grace Period if on a Monthly Anniversary Day,
the Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the cost of the monthly deduction
due on the Monthly Anniversary Day. If the minimum amount needed is not provided
within the Grace Period, the policy will terminate without value at the end of
such period. If the Insured dies during the Grace Period, We will deduct any
amount due and unpaid during the Grace Period from the proceeds of the policy.
REINSTATEMENT - You may apply to reinstate the policy after it has terminated
provided this policy has not been surrendered for its Surrender Value. We will
reinstate the policy if We receive:
(1) Your written request for reinstatement within five years after the end of
the Grace Period and prior to the Insured's Attained Age 100;
(2) evidence of insurability satisfactory to Us;
(3) payment of a premium large enough, after deduction of any Policy Expense
Charges, to restore the Accumulation Value to an amount sufficient to cover
the cost of monthly deductions to keep the policy in force for at least 3
policy months following the effective date of reinstatement; and
(4) payment or reinstatement of any Debt against the policy which existed on
the date of termination.
The effective date of a reinstated policy or the Reinstatement Date is the date
We approve the application for reinstatement. The Accumulation Value of the
policy on the Reinstatement Date shall be the Accumulation Value on the date of
termination plus the Net Premium received to reinstate the policy. We will not
contest this policy for misrepresentations made in the application for
reinstatement after this policy has been in force during the lifetime of the
Insured for two (2) years from the date of last reinstatement.
DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS
DEATH BENEFIT - The death benefit of this policy is the larger of:
(a) the death benefit as calculated under the Death Benefit Option in
effect; or
(b) the Accumulation Value on the date of death multiplied by the corridor
factor shown in the Table of Corridor Factors on Page 3.
10
DEATH BENEFIT QUALIFICATION TEST - This policy is intended to qualify as life
insurance under the Internal Revenue Code. The Death Benefit provided by this
policy is intended to qualify for the Federal income tax exclusion. Two methods
of qualifying as life insurance are the Cash Value Accumulation Test and the
Guideline Premium Test, as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 7702. The
Death Benefit Qualification Test for this policy is shown on Page 3 and cannot
be changed. Unless You elected otherwise, the Death Benefit Qualification Test
is the Guideline Premium Test.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS - There are three Death Benefit Options as described in
this provision. The Death Benefit Option for the policy is shown on Page 3.
- OPTION I - The Death Benefit equals the Specified Amount. The Death
Benefit is never less than the Specified Amount.
- OPTION II - The Death Benefit equals the Specified Amount plus the
Accumulation Value on the date of death. The Death Benefit is never less
than the Specified Amount.
- OPTION III - The Death Benefit equals the Specified Amount plus the
total of the premiums paid less the total of any Withdrawals taken to
the date of death. If the total of the Withdrawals is greater than the
total of premiums paid, then the Death Benefit will be less than the
Specified Amount.
The Death Benefit payable on the death of the Insured will be reduced by any
Debt on the date of death.
CHANGES IN INSURANCE COVERAGE - Upon request, the insurance coverage may be
changed as described in this provision. Changes will be effective on the Monthly
Anniversary Day next following the date of approval by Us of the request for the
change.
- INCREASES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT An increase in Specified Amount may be made
after the first policy anniversary, unless funds are received after the
policy is issued as a result of a 1035 exchange and the increase in the
first Policy Year is needed for the policy to avoid becoming a Modified
Endowment contract. The Maximum Attained Age for an increase and the
minimum amount of an increase are as shown on Page 3. At least twelve (12)
months must elapse between requested increases. If a change would result in
an increase in the amount payable at death, such change will be subject to
evidence of insurability satisfactory to Us. An increase will be subject to
the Acquisition Charge described in the Monthly Deduction provision.
- DECREASES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT A decrease in Specified Amount may be made
after the first policy anniversary and prior to Attained Age 100. The
minimum amount of a decrease is as shown on Page 3. The Specified Amount
may not be decreased below the minimum shown on Page 3. At least twelve
(12) months must elapse between requested decreases. Any such decrease will
be deducted in the following order: (a) from the most recent Specified
Amount increase, if any; (b) successively from the next most recent
Specified Amount increase, if any; (c) from the initial Specified Amount.
- CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION A change in Death Benefit Option may be
made after the first policy anniversary and prior to Attained Age 100. You
may request a change in the Death Benefit Option to Option I or Option II.
Changes to Option III are not permitted. If a change would result in an
increase in the amount payable at death, such change will be subject to
evidence of insurability satisfactory to Us.
11
CONTINUATION OF POLICY AFTER AGE 100 - If the policy is in force at the
Insured's Attained Age 100 (but not in the Grace Period), the following will
occur:
(1) Your policy will continue in force for the lifetime of the Insured
unless You surrender the policy;
(2) the Specified Amount is set to equal the Accumulation Value;
(3) the Death Benefit Option will be set to Option I and thereafter may
not be changed;
(4) no further premiums will be accepted;
(5) no further Monthly Deductions will be taken;
(6) policy loans and withdrawals can continue to be taken. Loan rates will
apply as stated on Page 3; and
(7) any riders attached to the policy will terminate as stipulated in the
rider's Termination provision.
If this policy is in the grace period at Attained Age 100 You will need to pay
the minimum amount required to remove this policy from the grace period in order
to guarantee continuation of this policy beyond Attained Age 100.
POLICY VALUE PROVISIONS
FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS ACCUMULATION VALUE - The Fixed Account Options
Accumulation Value is the sum of the accumulation value in each Fixed Account
Option. On the Policy Date, the Fixed Account Options Accumulation Value is
equal to the portion of the Net Premium which has been paid and allocated to the
General Account, less the portion of the first monthly deduction allocated to
the General Account.
On each Monthly Anniversary Day, the accumulation value in a Fixed Account
Option is equal to (1) plus (2) plus (3) plus (4) minus (5) minus (6) minus (7)
where:
(1) is the accumulation value in the Fixed Account Option on the preceding
Monthly Anniversary Day;
(2) is one month's interest on item (1);
(3) is the portion of any Net Premium received and allocated to the Fixed
Account Option since the preceding Monthly Anniversary Day plus interest
from the date the Net Premium is received to the Monthly Anniversary Day;
(4) is the sum of all accumulation values transferred to the Fixed Account
Option from a division of the Separate Account or from another Fixed
Account Option since the preceding Monthly Anniversary Day plus interest
from the date the accumulation value is transferred to the Monthly
Anniversary Day;
(5) is the sum of all accumulation values transferred from the Fixed Account
Option to a division of the Separate Account or another Fixed Account
Option since the preceding Monthly Anniversary Day and interest from the
date the accumulation value is transferred to the Monthly Anniversary Day;
(6) is all Withdrawals from the Fixed Account Option since the preceding
Monthly Anniversary Day plus interest from the date of Withdrawal to the
Monthly Anniversary Day; and
(7) is the portion of the monthly deduction allocated to the accumulation value
in the Fixed Account Option to cover the policy month following the Monthly
Anniversary Day.
On any date other than a Monthly Anniversary Day, the accumulation value will be
calculated on a consistent basis.
FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS INTEREST RATES - The Fixed Account Options Accumulation
Value will earn interest daily at the guaranteed minimum effective annual rate
as shown on Page 3. Interest in excess of the guaranteed minimum rate may be
applied in the calculation of the Fixed Account Options Accumulation Value at
such increased rates as We may determine. The policy's accumulation value held
in the General Account for policy loan collateral will earn interest daily at
the effective annual rate as shown on Page 3.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUES - The accumulation value in each division
on the Policy Date is equal to the portion of the Net Premium which has been
paid and allocated to that division, less the portion of the first monthly
deduction allocated to the policy's accumulation value in that division.
At the end of each Valuation Period after the Policy Date, the policy's
accumulation value in a division is equal to (1) plus (2) plus (3) minus (4)
minus (5) minus (6) where:
12
(1) is the accumulation value in the division on the preceding Valuation Date
multiplied by the Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation Period;
(2) is any Net Premium received during the current Valuation Period which is
allocated to the division;
(3) is all accumulation values transferred to the division from another
division or a Fixed Account Option during the current Valuation Period;
(4) is all accumulation values transferred from the division to another
division or a Fixed Account Option and accumulation values transferred to
secure a policy Debt during the current Valuation Period; and
(5) is all Withdrawals from the division during the current Valuation Period;
and
(6) is charges, if any, that may be assessed by Us for taxes attributable to
the operation of the Separate Account.
In addition, whenever a Valuation Period includes the Monthly Anniversary Day,
the accumulation value at the end of such period is reduced by the portion of
the monthly deduction allocated to the division.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR - We calculate the Net Investment Factor for a Valuation
Period for each division by dividing (1) by (2) and subtracting (3) from the
result, where:
(1) is the sum of:
(a) the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Separate Account for
that division determined at the end of the current Valuation Period;
plus
(b) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
made for shares held in the Separate Account for that division if
the ex-dividend date occurs during the Valuation Period;
(2) is the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Separate Account for
that division determined as of the end of the preceding Valuation Period;
and
(3) is the daily charge representing the Mortality & Expense Risk Charge as
shown on Page 3. This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to the
percentage shown on Page 3 of the daily net asset value of Fund shares held
in the Separate Account for that division.
The Net Investment Factor may be greater than, less than, or equal to 1. This
being the case, values in a division may increase or decrease from Valuation
Period to Valuation Period.
MONTHLY DEDUCTION - The monthly deduction for a policy month shall be calculated
as (1) plus (2) plus (3),where:
(1) is the Monthly Administrative Charge shown on Page 3; and
(2) is the cost of insurance described herein and the cost of additional
benefits provided by rider for the policy month; and
(3) is the Monthly Acquisition Charge shown on Page 3.
You may specify that the monthly deduction for a policy month be deducted from a
specific division of the Separate Account or from the General Account.
If not specified, the monthly deduction for a policy month will be allocated
among the General Account and the divisions of the Separate Account. The
allocation will be made in the same proportion that the accumulation value in
the General Account less any Debt and the accumulation value in each division
bears to the combined accumulation value of the General Account and the
divisions, less any Debt at the beginning of the policy month.
The monthly deduction will only be deducted from the Long Term Fixed Account if
the accumulation value in the divisions and the General Account less any Debt is
insufficient to cover the cost of the entire monthly deduction.
If there is an increase in the Specified Amount, a Monthly Acquisition Charge
will be applied as shown on Page 3.
13
COST OF INSURANCE - The cost of insurance is determined on a monthly basis. The
cost of insurance is determined separately for the initial Specified Amount and
each subsequent increase in Specified Amount. The cost of insurance is
calculated as (1), multiplied by the result of (2) minus (3), where:
(1) is the cost of insurance rate as described in the Cost of Insurance Rates
provision;
(2) is the Death Benefit at the beginning of the policy month, before reduction
for any Debt, divided by the monthly guaranteed interest rate factor shown
on Page 3;
(3) is the Accumulation Value at the beginning of the policy month, prior to
the monthly deduction for the cost of insurance.
COST OF INSURANCE RATES - The monthly cost of insurance rate is based on the
Policy Year and the sex and rating class of the Insured. Monthly cost of
insurance rates will be determined by Us based upon future expectations as to
investment earnings, mortality experience, persistency, a provision for
amortization of sales charges, expenses (including reinsurance costs) and taxes.
CHANGES IN INTEREST AND COST OF INSURANCE RATES - At Our sole discretion We may
change the interest rate in excess of the rate guaranteed to be credited to the
Fixed Account Options and the monthly cost of insurance rates. We will base any
change on Our future expectations as to investment earnings, mortality
experience, persistency, a provision for amortization of sales charges, expenses
(including reinsurance costs) and taxes.
Any change in cost of insurance rates will apply to all Insureds of the same
Attained Age, sex, rating class and duration. However, the cost of insurance
rates can never be greater than those shown in the Table of Monthly Guaranteed
Cost of Insurance Rates on Page 4. Such guaranteed maximum rates are based on
the mortality table as specified on Page 3.
CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE - This policy and all its riders will continue in
force according to the terms of coverage as long as the Surrender Value is
sufficient to cover the monthly deduction.
Otherwise the policy will terminate according to the Grace Period provision. If
premiums are discontinued on any date, the value on that date will be used to
provide insurance under this provision.
BASIS OF COMPUTATION - The basis of computation for minimum Accumulation Values
is fully explained on Page 3. The values for this policy are at least equal to
the minimum required by law. If required, a detailed statement of the method
used to determine Accumulation Values and reserves has been filed with the
jurisdiction in which this policy is delivered.
SURRENDER AND WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
SURRENDER - Upon written request and while the Insured is living, You may
surrender the policy for the Surrender Value.
The amount payable will be the Surrender Value as of the date We receive Your
written request. Should the death of the Insured occur after the date of written
request but prior to the date We receive the written request, the surrender
request will be considered void and the terms of the Death Benefit provisions
will apply.
WITHDRAWALS - Upon written request You may make a Withdrawal from the policy.
Any Withdrawal is subject to the following conditions:
(1) the amount of the Withdrawal plus the charge for the Withdrawal as shown on
Page 3 may not exceed the Surrender Value;
(2) the minimum amount that may be withdrawn is shown on Page 3;
(3) a charge as shown on Page 3 will apply to each Withdrawal;
14
(4) We will deduct the amount of the Withdrawal, plus the charge for the
Withdrawal as shown on Page 3 from the Accumulation Value.
(5) the Death Benefit will be reduced by an amount equal to the reduction in
the Accumulation Value. The Specified Amount will be reduced if the Death
Benefit is Option I by an amount equal to the reduction in the Accumulation
Value. If Death Benefit Option III is in effect and the total of the
Withdrawals is greater than the premiums paid, then the Death Benefit will
be less than the Specified Amount. The minimum Specified Amount remaining
in force after any Withdrawal must be as shown on Page 3.
You may allocate the Withdrawal among the Fixed Account Options and the
divisions of the Separate Account.
If You do not specify the allocation, then the Withdrawal will be allocated
among each Fixed Account Option and the divisions of the Separate Account in the
same proportion that the accumulation value in each Fixed Account Option, less
any Debt, and the accumulation value in each division bears to the total
Accumulation Value of the policy, less any Debt, on the date of Withdrawal.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
SEPARATE ACCOUNT - The variable benefits under the policy are provided through
investments in the Separate Account, as shown on Page 3. We established the
Separate Account as a separate investment account to support variable life
insurance contracts or polices. We will not allocate assets to the Separate
Account to support the operation of any contracts or policies that are not
variable life insurance.
The assets of the Separate Account are owned by Us. However, the assets of the
Separate Account are not part of the Company's General Account Assets. Income,
gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate
Account will be credited to or charged against the account without regard to Our
other income, gains or losses.
Assets equal to the reserves and other liabilities of the Separate Account will
not be charged with liabilities that arise from any other business We may
conduct. Such assets of the Separate Account shall not be available to general
creditors of Ours in the event of Our insolvency to the full extent permitted by
applicable law. We shall have the right to transfer any assets of the Separate
Account which are in excess of such reserves and other policy liabilities to the
Company's General Account Assets.
The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Separate Account is also subject to the laws of Our state of domicile.
The investment policy of the Separate Account will not be changed without the
approval of the Insurance Commissioner of Our state of domicile. The approval
process is on file with the Insurance Commissioner of the state in which the
policy was delivered.
15
DIVISIONS - The Separate Account has several divisions. Each division will buy
shares of a separate series of the Funds as defined on Page 3. Each series
represents a separate investment portfolio of the Funds. All divisions of the
Separate Account are shown on Page 3. You will determine the percentage of Net
Premiums which will be allocated to each division. No less than 1% of the Net
Premium may be allocated to any one account. Allocation percentages must be zero
or a whole number not greater than 100. The sum of the Net Premium allocation
percentages must equal 100.
Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from the assets of the
Separate Account are credited to or charged against that division without regard
to income, gains or losses in other divisions of the Separate Account or in the
Fixed Account Options.
We will value the assets of each division of the Separate Account at the end of
each Valuation Period.
TRANSFERS - You may transfer amounts between the Fixed Account Options and the
divisions of the Separate Account in a form and manner acceptable to Us. The
amount available for transfer from a Fixed Account Option or a division is the
value of the Fixed Account Option or the division as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which We receive all the requirements for the transaction. We may
revoke or modify the transfer privilege at any time.
The minimum amount that may be transferred and the minimum amount that must
remain in a Fixed Account Option and in each division after the transfer is
specified on Page 3. No amounts under the minimum amount may be transferred out
of a Fixed Account Option or any division of the Separate Account unless such
lesser amount constitutes the entire balance. The maximum number of transfers
allowed under the Policy in a Policy Year is stated on Page 3. The maximum
number of transfers from a Fixed Account Option is stated on Page 3.
A transfer charge as specified on Page 3 will be imposed each time amounts are
transferred, except with respect to policy loans and:
(1) the first twelve (12) transfers of each Policy Year:
(2) transfers from the Fixed Account Options to the divisions of the
Separate Account.
The transfer charge will be deducted from the amount that is transferred. We
will make transfers so that the Accumulation Value on the date of transfer will
not be affected by the transfer except to the extent of the transfer charge.
As long as any portion of the policy's Accumulation Value is allocated to a
division of the Separate Account, the policy's Accumulation Value and Surrender
Value will reflect the investment performance of the chosen division(s) of the
Separate Account. The Death Benefit may also reflect the performance of the
chosen division(s) of the Separate Account.
At any time, You may transfer 100% of the policy's accumulation value in the
Separate Account to a Fixed Account Option. Such a transfer may be made even if
the maximum number of transfers allowed in a Policy Year has been reached.
OPTIONAL FEATURES - Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing
are two optional features available under the policy. You may not elect to have
Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing at the same time.
Transfers and/or adjustments pursuant to either of these features will occur on
the Monthly Anniversary Day in the month in which the transaction is to take
place or the next succeeding business day if the Monthly Anniversary Day falls
on a holiday or a weekend. The applicable authorization form must be on file
with Us before either feature may begin. Neither feature guarantees profits nor
protects against losses. These features are currently available at no charge,
however, We reserve the right to assess a charge to either or both of these
features, no greater than cost and with thirty (30) days advance notice to You.
We reserve the right to modify the terms and conditions of these features upon
thirty (30) days advance notice to You.
16
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING - Under this feature, You deposit a "Designated Amount",
subject to a minimum of $3,000, into a "Repository Account" (Money Market
Division of the Separate Account or the General Account) and elect to have a
specified "Periodic Transfer Amount" automatically transferred to one or more
divisions of the Separate Account on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis.
This feature allows You to systematically allocate Net Premiums to divisions of
the Separate Account at various prices which may be higher or lower than the
price You would pay if You allocated the entire amount at one time and at one
price. Each Periodic Transfer Amount is subject to a minimum of $250. A minimum
of 1% of the Periodic Transfer Amount must be transferred to any specified
division. The Long Term Fixed Account is not available for participation in
Dollar Cost Averaging. We reserve the right to change these minimum amounts at
Our discretion. If a transfer would reduce accumulation value in the Repository
Account to less than the Periodic Transfer Amount, We reserve the right to
include such remaining accumulation value in the amount transferred.
The feature will continue until You give notification of cancellation of the
feature.
AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING - This feature provides a method for
establishing fixed proportions between various types of allocations on a
systematic basis. Under this feature, Your allocation between divisions of the
Separate Account and the General Account will be automatically re-adjusted to
the desired allocation, subject to a minimum of 1% per division or General
Account, on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The Long Term Fixed
Account is not available for participation in Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing.
Automatic readjustments will continue until You provide Us with notification of
a change in allocation or cancellation of the feature.
ADDITION, DELETION, OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS - We reserve the right,
subject to compliance with applicable law, to make additions to, deletions from,
or substitutions for the shares of a series that are held by the Separate
Account or that the Separate Account may purchase. We reserve the right to
eliminate the shares of any series of the Funds and to substitute shares of
another series of the Funds or of another open-ended, registered investment
company, if the shares or series are no longer available for investment or if in
our judgment, further investment in any eligible series should become
inappropriate in view of the purposes of the policy.
We will not substitute any shares attributable to Your interest in a division of
the Separate Account without notice to You and prior approval of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of
1940. This shall not prevent the Separate Account from purchasing other
securities for other series or classes of policies, or from permitting
conversion between series or classes of policies or contracts on the basis of
requests made by policyowners.
We reserve the right to establish additional divisions of the Separate Account,
each of which would invest in a new series of the Funds or in shares of another
open-end, registered investment company. We reserve the right to eliminate
existing divisions of the Separate Account. We also reserve the right to
transfer assets of the Separate Account to another Separate Account of Ours or
of an affiliated life insurance company.
If We consider it to be in the best interest of persons having voting privileges
under the policies, the Separate Account may be operated as a management company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940; or it may be deregistered under that
Act in the event registration is no longer required or it may be combined with
other separate accounts.
17
POLICY LOAN PROVISIONS
POLICY LOANS - A loan will be granted at any time, upon the sole security of the
portion of the Surrender Value required to repay the loan. Any prior Debt to Us
against the policy will be deducted from the amount available for loan. A loan
may be obtained by request when the policy has a loan value. The policy will be
the sole security for the loan.
You may allocate the policy loan among the Fixed Account Options and the
divisions of the Separate Account. If You do not specify the allocation, then
the policy loan will be allocated among each Fixed Account Option and the
divisions of the Separate Account. The allocation will be made in the same
proportion that the accumulation value in each Fixed Account Option less any
Debt and the accumulation value in each division bears to the total Accumulation
Value of the policy, less any Debt, on the date of the policy loan. Accumulation
value in the Long Term Fixed Account and in each division equal to the policy
loan allocated to the Long Term Fixed Account and each division will be
transferred to the General Account and reduce the accumulation value in the Long
Term Fixed Account and each division. If loan interest is not paid when due, an
amount of accumulation value equal to the loan interest will also be
transferred.
If the Debt exceeds the policy's accumulation value in the General Account, We
will transfer accumulation value equal to the excess Debt from the Long Term
Fixed Account and the divisions of the Separate Account to the General Account
as security for the excess Debt. The amount transferred will be allocated among
the Long Term Fixed Account and the divisions in the same proportion that the
accumulation value in the Long Term Fixed Account and each division bears to the
policy's total accumulation value in all divisions of the Separate Account.
POLICY LOAN INTEREST - Interest accrues on a daily basis from the date of the
loan and is compounded annually. Interest is due and payable at the end of each
Policy Year. Interest unpaid on a policy anniversary is added to and becomes
part of the loan principal and bears interest at the same rate.
The effective annual policy loan interest rate(s) charged and the effective
annual interest rate(s) credited to accumulation value held for policy loan
collateral is shown on Page 3.
You must assign this policy to Us to the extent of the outstanding Debt. If the
Insured dies, We will deduct the outstanding Debt from the death benefit before
we pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary.
POLICY LOAN REPAYMENT - Any Debt may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time
while the policy is in force. When a loan repayment is made, accumulation value
securing the Debt in the General Account equal to the loan repayment will be
allocated among the Fixed Account Options and divisions of the Separate Account
using the same percentages used to allocate Net Premiums.
If the total Debt equals or exceeds the Surrender Value at any time, the policy
will enter the Grace Period.
