GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------
This is issued in consideration of your application and the timely payment of
the additional required premium. The provisions summarized in this supplement
are subject in every respect to the group policy and amendments thereto.
WHAT DOES THE WAIVER OF DEDUCTION BENEFIT PROVIDE?
If you become totally and permanently disabled, as hereinafter defined, while
under age 60, upon receipt of due proof of such disability, your insurance
(including all applicable riders) under the group policy will be continued in
force, subject to the following provisions and without payment of premiums for
you during the uninterrupted continuance of such total and permanent disability.
WHAT IS "TOTAL" DISABILITY?
Total disability is a disability which occurs while your insurance is in force
and results from an accidental injury or a disease that continuously prevents
you from engaging in an occupation. You must be under the care of a licensed
physician other than yourself. During the first 24 months of total disability,
"occupation" means your regular occupation. After 24 months, it means any
occupation for which you are reasonably fitted by education, training or
experience.
Your total and irrevocable loss of the following shall be considered total
disability even if you engage in an occupation:
1. the sight of both eyes; or
2. the use of both hands; or
3. the use of both feet; or
4. the use of one hand and one foot.
WHAT IS "PERMANENT" DISABILITY?
Total disability will be considered permanent only after it has exited
continuously for at least six months.
HOW LONG WILL INSURANCE BE CONTINUED?
If you become totally and permanently disabled, insurance will be continued;
1. until your 95th birthday; or
2. until the date you are no longer totally and permanently disabled; or
3. until the date you terminate or surrender your insurance;

WHAT WILL BE CONSIDERED DUE PROOF OF DISABILITY?
You must furnish evidence satisfactory to us that your total disability:
1. commenced while insurance on your life under the group policy was in force;
and
2. commenced before your 60th birthday; and
3. was continuous for six months or more.
We will, from time to time, also require additional proof satisfactory to us
that you continue to be totally and permanently disabled. We may also required
you to submit to one or more medical examinations at our expense. However, we
will not require a medical examination of you more frequently than once a year
if the total disability has continued for two years.
ARE THERE ANY LIMITATIONS?
This benefit will not be effective if your total disability results directly
from intentionally self-inflicted injuries or from an act of war while you are
serving in the military, naval or air forces of any country at war, declared or
undeclared.
WHEN MUST WE BE NOTIFIED?
We must receive written notice of your total disability at our home office:
1. while you are living and totally disabled; and
2. not later than one year after the termination of your insurance under the
group policy; and
3. within one year of the date you request as the date for the commencement of
this benefit.
However, the failure to give this notice within the time provided will not
invalidate the claim if it is shown that notice was given as soon as reasonably
possible.
WHAT IS YOUR COST FOR THIS BENEFIT?
Your cost for this benefit is shown on the specifications page attached to your
certificate.
WHAT IF YOU INSURANCE UNDER THE GROUP POLICY LAPSES?
If your insurance lapses before notice of your total and permanent disability is
received at our home office, your insurance will be continued only if the notice
is received within one year after your insurance lapses. Also, the total
disability must have commenced prior to the date the net cash value became zero
or during the grace period allowed.

ceases to be totally and permanently disabled.
IS THIS BENEFIT RETROACTIVE?

before we approve the insured's total disability claim will be deducted from
your account value. If the claim is approved, those charges which were deducted
after the insured became totally and permanently disabled will be credited to
your account value.
WILL YOUR ACCOUNT BE CREDITED WITH PREMIUM CONTRIBUTIONS AS A RESULT OF THIS
BENEFIT?
