On any other day, the Net Amount at Risk is the death benefit minus the Cash Value. NET PREMIUM: The Net Premium is equal to the actual premium minus the percent of premium charge. The percent of premium charge is shown on the Policy Data Page. The Company may, at its sole discretion, apply a lower percent of premium charge. OWNER: The Owner has all rights under this policy and is named in the application unless later changed and endorsed on this policy. "You" or "your" refer to the Owner of this policy. PARTIAL SURRENDER AMOUNT: This is the amount requested by you as a partial surrender. We reserve the right to deduct a fee from this amount. The maximum fee is shown on the Policy Data Page.

VALUATION PERIOD: A Valuation Period is the interval of time between a valuation date and the next valuation date. VARIABLE ACCOUNT: A Variable Account is a separate investment account of the Company that funds specified, non-guaranteed investment options available under the policy. The Variable Accounts are listed on the Policy Data Page. GENERAL POLICY PROVISIONS ENTIRE CONTRACT: The entire contract consists of this policy, the Policy Data Page, any attached Riders or endorsements, and the attached copy of any written application, including any written supplemental applications. No agent, registered representative, or other person may change this policy or waive any of its provisions. Any agreement, including but not limited to maturity extension, to alter this policy must be in writing, signed by our president or secretary and attached to or endorsed on your policy. We will not be bound by any promise or representations made by any agent or other persons. APPLICATION: All statements made in an application are considered representations and not warranties. In issuing this policy, we have relied on the statements made in any application to be true and complete. No such statement will be used to void the policy or to deny a claim unless that statement is a material misrepresentation. INCONTESTABILITY: We will not contest payment of the Proceeds upon the Insured's death based on the initial Specified Amount after this policy has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date. For any increase in Specified Amount requiring evidence of insurability, we will not contest payment of the Proceeds based on such an increase after it has been inforce during the Insured's lifetime for two years from its effective date of the increase. SUICIDE: If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the Policy Date, we will not pay the Proceeds normally payable on the Insured's death. Instead, we will pay the Beneficiary an amount equal to all premiums paid prior to the Insured's death, less any Indebtedness, and less any partial surrenders. For any increase in Specified Amount requiring evidence of insurability, if the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the effective date of any such increase, we will not pay the Proceeds associated with such an increase. Instead, our liability with respect to such an increase will be limited to its cost of insurance charges. INTERAL REVENUE CODE LIFE INSURANCE QUALIFICATION TEST: At time of policy issue, you must choose either the Guideline Premium or Cash Value Accumulation Test. You cannot change the test once we issue the policy. The two tests are defined in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code and are used to define the Minimum Required Death Benefit and premium limitations. ERROR IN AGE OR SEX: If the age or sex of the Insured has been misstated, the death benefit and Cash Value will be adjusted. The adjusted death benefit will be (1) multiplied by (2) and then the result added to (3) where: 1. is the Net Amount at Risk at the time of the Insured's death; 2. is the ratio of the monthly cost of insurance applied in the policy month of death and the monthly cost of insurance that should have been applied at the true age and sex in the policy month of death; and 3. is the Cash Value at the time of the Insured's death. The Cash Value will be adjusted to reflect the cost of insurance charges based on the correct age and sex from the Policy Date. EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE: The effective date of coverage of any person insured under your policy is as follows: 1. the Policy Date is the effective date for all coverage provided in the original application; 2. for any increase or addition to coverage, the effective date will be the monthly anniversary, from the Policy Date, on or next following the date we approve the supplemental application; and 3. for any insurance that has been reinstated, the effective date will be the monthly anniversary, from the Policy Date, on or next following the date we approve your request for reinstatement. TERMINATION: All coverage under your policy will terminate when any one of the following events occurs: 1. you request in writing that the coverage terminates; 2. the Insured dies; 3. the policy matures; 4. the grace period ends; or 5. you surrender the policy for its Cash Surrender Value. ANNUAL REPORT: We will send you a report at least once a year which shows the current Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, amount of insurance, premiums paid, minimum monthly premiums, all charges since the last report and outstanding policy Indebtedness. The report will also include any other information required by laws and regulations, both federal and state. We will mail this report to you at your address in the application or another address you specify. ILLUSTRATION OF BENEFITS AND VALUES: We will provide a projection of illustrative future benefits and values under this policy at any time. Your written request and payment of a service fee set by us at the time of the request will be required. NONPARTICIPATION: This is a nonparticipating policy on which no dividends are payable. Your policy will not share in our profits or surplus earnings. CURRENCY: Any money we pay, or that is paid to us, must be denominated in United States currency. SIGNATURE GUARANTEE AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION: For your protection, a written request for a surrender, a partial surrender, policy loan, or a change in ownership must be signed. We may require the signature to be guaranteed by a member firm of the New York, American, Boston, Midwest, Philadelphia, or Pacific Stock Exchanges, or by a commercial bank or a savings and loans, which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In some cases, we may require additional documentation of a customary nature. OWNER, BENEFICIARY AND ASSIGNMENT PROVISIONS OWNER: While the Insured is living, all rights in your policy belong to you. OWNERSHIP AT YOUR DEATH: You may name a Contingent Owner who will become the Owner of the policy if you die before the Insured. If there is no Contingent Owner at the time of your death and you predecease the Insured, your estate will become the Owner of the policy. DESIGNATING AND CHANGING OWNERSHIP: You may name a Contingent Owner or a new Owner at any time while the Insured is living. If a new Owner is named, any earlier designation of Owner(s) or Contingent Owner(s) is automatically revoked. Any change must be in a written form satisfactory to us and recorded at our Home Office. Once recorded, the change will take effect as of the date you signed it. The change will not affect any payment made or any action we take before it was recorded. We may require that you send us your policy for endorsement before making a change. BENEFICIARY: The Beneficiary is the person(s) who is entitled to receive the Proceeds upon the death of the Insured. The Contingent Beneficiary is the person(s) entitled to receive the Proceeds if no Beneficiary is alive at the time of the death of the Insured. DESIGNATING AND CHANGING THE BENEFICIARY AND THE CONTINGENT BENEFICIARY: You may designate on the application one or more Beneficiary(ies), and one or more Contingent Beneficiaries. While the Insured is alive, you may change any Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary designation. Any change must be in a written form satisfactory to us. We must receive the change at our Home Office. We may require that we receive the policy for endorsement before we record the change. Once we record the change, the change will be effective as of the date it was signed; provided, however, that we will not be liable to any person for any action or payment we make prior to recording the change. PAYMENTS TO THE BENEFICIARY: We will pay the Proceeds, upon the Insured's death, to the Beneficiary(ies) that survives the Insured. If no Beneficiary survives the Insured, the Contingent Beneficiary(ies) becomes the Beneficiary(ies) and will be paid the Proceeds. If no Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary survives the Insured, we will deem you (or your estate) to be the Beneficiary and pay you (or your estate) the death benefit Proceeds. If there are multiple payees of the Proceeds, we will pay them on a pro-rata basis, unless you instruct us prior to the Insured's death to pay them on some other basis. ASSIGNMENT: While the Insured is living, you may assign any or all rights under your policy. We will not be bound by any assignment unless it is in a written form acceptable to us and is recorded at our Home Office. An assignment will not affect any payments made or actions taken by us before we record it. The assignment will be subject to any Indebtedness owed to us before it was recorded. The interest of any Beneficiary will be subject to the rights of any assignee of record at our Home Office. We will not be responsible for the sufficiency or validity of any assignment. PREMIUM PROVISIONS PREMIUM PAYMENTS: The Initial Premium is due on the Policy Date. It will be credited on the Initial Investment Date. Any due and unpaid monthly deductions will be subtracted from the Cash Value at this time. Insurance will not be effective until the Initial Premium is paid. The Initial Premium is shown on the Policy Data Page. Premiums other than the Initial Premium may be paid at any time while your policy is in force subject to the limits described below. Planned premium payment reminder notices will be furnished upon request. You may pay the Initial Premium to us at our Home Office or to an authorized agent. All premiums after the first are payable at our Home Office. Premium receipts will be furnished upon request. LIMITS: Each premium payment must be at least $50. Additional premium payments may be made at any time while your policy is in force. However, we reserve the right to require satisfactory evidence of insurability before accepting any additional premium payment which results in any increase in the Net Amount at Risk. Also, we will refund any portion of any premium payment which is determined to be in excess of the premium limit established by law to qualify your policy as a contract for life insurance. We may also require that any existing policy Indebtedness is repaid prior to accepting any additional premium payments. LAPSE PROVISIONS LAPSE: Your policy will remain in force so long as the Cash Surrender Value, on the monthly anniversary from the Policy Date, is sufficient to cover the deduction for charges. Otherwise, your policy will lapse, subject to the Guaranteed Policy Continuation Provision and a grace period. When your policy lapses, insurance coverage and any Riders you have selected will have no value. GUARANTEED POLICY CONTINUATION PROVISION: During the guaranteed policy continuation period, your policy will not lapse while the sum of all your premium payments (including the Initial Premium), minus any Indebtedness and partial surrenders, is greater than or equal to the sum of the "Policy Continuation Premiums" (as shown on the Policy Data Page) due through the most recent monthly anniversary from the Policy Date. This amount may vary by policy duration, and it may be affected by any changes to your policy. GRACE PERIOD: Before the end of a grace period, your policy will not lapse if you pay the greater of enough premium to cover four times the current monthly deduction for charges or enough premium to maintain the Guaranteed Policy Continuation Provision, if applicable. We will pay the Proceeds upon the Insured's death during a grace period, so long as your policy has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date. Also, you may surrender your policy for its Cash Surrender Value during a grace period. We will send you a notice at the start of a grace period. From the date on which the notice is postmarked, the grace period will last for 61 days. REINSTATEMENT: Within three years of the end of a grace period (and before the Maturity Date), you may request to reinstate your policy that has lapsed. You must submit your request in writing. We may require you to provide further evidence of insurability that is satisfactory to us. You will need to pay enough premium to cover the monthly deductions for charges while your policy was within a grace period, and to cover three times the current monthly deduction for charges from the date we reinstate your policy. That date will be on the next monthly anniversary from the Policy Date after which we approved your request for reinstatement. For your policy to be reinstated, you will also either need to repay any Indebtedness, or have it reinstated. Upon reinstatement, the Cash Value of your policy, before any premium payments or loan repayments, will be set equal to the lesser of the Cash Value at the end of the grace period, or the surrender charge for the year from the Policy Date in which we reinstate your policy. DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS DEATH BENEFIT: If the Insured dies while the policy is in force prior to the Maturity Date, your policy will provide a death benefit. The death benefit will be determined in accordance with one of the following options, whichever is in effect on the date of the Insured's death, subject to the Minimum Required Death Benefit. The current option in effect is shown on the Policy Data Page. OPTION 1: The death benefit will be the Specified Amount on the date of death; OPTION 2: The death benefit will be the Specified Amount plus the Cash Value on the date of death; OPTION 3: The death benefit will be the Specified Amount plus the accumulated premium account on the date of death. The accumulated premium account is all premium payments accumulated to the date of death less any partial surrenders accumulated to the date of death. The accumulations will be calculated based on the Option 3 interest rate shown on the Policy Data Page. In no event will the accumulated premium account be less than zero or greater than the Option 3 maximum increase shown on the Policy Data Page. For any death benefit option, the calculation of the Minimum Required Death Benefit is shown on the Policy Data Page. DEATH PROCEEDS: The actual amount of money payable to the Beneficiary if the Insured dies while your policy is in force prior to the Maturity Date equals: 1. the death benefit provided by your policy; plus 2. any insurance on the Insured's life that may be provided by Riders; minus 3. any Indebtedness; minus 4. any due and unpaid monthly deductions accruing during the grace period. We will pay these Proceeds to the Beneficiary after we receive at our Home Office proof of death satisfactory to us and such other information as we may reasonably require. Such Proceeds will be adjusted under certain conditions. Refer to the Incontestability, Suicide, and Error in Age or Sex Provisions. MATURITY DATE EXTENSION: If the Insured is alive on the original Maturity Date of the policy, you may extend the Maturity Date. Unless you elect otherwise, the Maturity Date will be extended until the date the Insured dies and the following will apply: 1. No premium payments will be allowed after the original Maturity Date. 2. Increases to the Specified Amount will not be permitted after the original Maturity Date. 3. Death Benefit Option changes will not be permitted after the original Maturity Date. 4. On the original Maturity Date, 100% of the Cash Value in the Subaccounts will be transferred to the Fixed Account, which is funded by the General Account of the Company, and transfers out of the Fixed Account will not be permitted. 5. No further monthly deductions will be taken after the original Maturity Date. The cost of insurance charges will be zero after the original Maturity Date. 6. The Specified Amount for Maturity Date Extension will be equal to the Specified Amount at the Insured's Attained Age 85, less items (a) and (b) where: (a) is any decrease to the Specified Amount after the Insured's Attained Age 85; and (b) is an adjustment for partial surrenders taken after Insured's Attained Age 85. The amount of the adjustment varies based on the Death Benefit Option and the Insured's Attained Age, and is defined within the chart below:
INSURED'S ATTAINED AGE 86-90 91 AND OLDER DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 1 Amount by which the Amount proportionate to base policy Specified the ratio of the surrender Amount is reduced due to the contract value prior to the surrender. to the surrender. DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 2 OR 3 0 0
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION CHANGES: After the first policy year, you may change the death benefit option under your policy from Option 1 to Option 2, Option 2 to Option 1, Option 3 to Option 1 or Option 3 to Option 2. We will adjust the Specified Amount such that the Net Amount at Risk remains constant before and after the death benefit option change. The effective date of change will be the monthly anniversary from the Policy Date on or next following the date we approve the request for change. Only one change of option is permitted in a policy year. We will refuse a death benefit option change which would reduce the Specified Amount to a level where the total premiums already paid exceeds the premium limit, if any, established by law to qualify your policy as a contract for life insurance. In order for a death benefit option change to become effective, the Cash Surrender Value, after the change, must be sufficient to keep the policy in force for at least three months. SPECIFIED AMOUNT INCREASES: At any time after the first year from the Policy Date, you may request an increase in Specified Amount. Your request must be in writing to our Home Office on our official forms. Any increase shall be subject to the following conditions: 1. you must provide evidence of insurability satisfactory to us; 2. the increase must be for a minimum of $10,000; 3. the Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to keep this policy in force with the new Specified Amount for at least three months; and 4. age limits are the same as for a new issue. An approved increase will have an effective date of the monthly anniversary from the Policy Date on or next following the date we approve the supplemental application unless you request a different date. We reserve the right to limit the number of increases in Specified Amount to one each year from the Policy Date. SPECIFIED AMOUNT DECREASES: At any time after the first year from the Policy Date, you may request a decrease in the Specified Amount. Any decrease will be effective on the monthly anniversary from the Policy Date, on or next following our receipt of your request unless you request a different date. Any such decrease shall reduce insurance in the following order: 1. against insurance provided by the most recent increase; 2. against the next most recent increases successively; and 3. against insurance provided under the original application. We reserve the right to limit the number of decreases in the Specified Amount to one each year from the Policy Date. We will refuse a request for a decrease which would: 1. reduce the Specified Amount below the Minimum Specified Amount; or 2. disqualify this policy as a contract for life insurance. NONFORFEITURE PROVISIONS CASH VALUE: The Cash Value of your policy is the sum of the Cash Value in each Subaccount, the Fixed Accounts, and the Policy Loan Account. The Cash Value in each Subaccount on the Initial Investment Date is equal to the portion of the Net Premium allocated to the Subaccount minus a pro-rata monthly deduction for the month following the Policy Date. The Cash Value in each Subaccount on each subsequent Valuation Period is equal to (1) plus (2) plus (3) minus (4) minus (5) minus (6), where: (1) is the Cash Value in the Subaccount on the preceding Valuation Period multiplied by its net investment factor for the current Valuation Period; (2) is any Net Premiums or other amounts allocated to the Subaccount during the current Valuation Period; (3) is any amounts transferred to the Subaccount during the current Valuation Period; (4) is any amounts transferred from the Subaccount during the current Valuation Period; (5) is the portion of any monthly deductions which are due and charged to the Subaccount during the current Valuation Period; and (6) is any Partial Surrender Amount allocated to the Subaccount during the current Valuation Period. The Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account is zero, unless you take a policy loan. If you take a policy loan, then the Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account on the loan date is equal to the amount of the loan. The loan amount is transferred from a Variable Account in proportion to the Cash Value in each Subaccount on the date of the loan. Loan amounts will be transferred from the Fixed Accounts only when insufficient amounts are available in the Variable Account. Then, loan amounts will be transferred from the Fixed Accounts based on each Fixed Account's transfer restriction level. Loan amounts will be transferred from Fixed Accounts with a lower percentage transfer restriction level only when insufficient amounts are available in Fixed Accounts with a higher percentage transfer restriction level. Fixed Account transfer restriction levels are stated on the Policy Data Page. The Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account on each subsequent Valuation Period is equal to (1) plus (2) plus (3) minus (4) minus (5) where: (1) is the Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account on the preceding Valuation Period; (2) is any interest credited during the current Valuation Period; (3) is any amounts transferred to the Policy Loan Account because of additional policy loans and any due and unpaid loan interest during the current Valuation Period; (4) is the amount of any loan repayments you make during the current Valuation Period; and (5) is any amount of interest transferred from the Policy Loan Account to the Variable Account or a Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period. THE CASH VALUE IN A FIXED ACCOUNT IS ZERO UNLESS SOME OR ALL OF THE CASH VALUE IS ALLOCATED TO A FIXED ACCOUNT. THE CASH VALUE IN A FIXED ACCOUNT ON THE INITIAL INVESTMENT DATE IS EQUAL TO THE PORTION OF THE NET PREMIUM ALLOCATED TO THE PARTICULAR FIXED ACCOUNT MINUS A PRO-RATA MONTHLY DEDUCTION FOR THE MONTH FOLLOWING THE POLICY DATE. THE CASH VALUE IN A FIXED ACCOUNT ON EACH SUBSEQUENT VALUATION DAY IS EQUAL TO: 1. the Cash Value in this Fixed Account on the preceding Valuation Day; plus 2. any interest credited during the current Valuation Period; plus 3. any Net Premiums or other amounts allocated to this Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period; minus 4. any amounts transferred from this Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period; minus 5. the portion of any monthly deductions which are due and charged to this Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period; minus 6. any Partial Surrender Amounts allocated to this Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period. MONTHLY DEDUCTION: The monthly deduction for each month from the Policy Date, shall be calculated as: 1. the Mortality and Expense Risk Charges. The mortality and expense charges are shown on the Policy Data Page; plus 2. the monthly expense charges. These charges will not exceed the Maximum Monthly Policy Expense Charges shown on the Policy Data Page; plus 3. the monthly cost of any additional benefits provided by any Riders; plus 4. the monthly cost of insurance. The monthly deductions other than the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be charged proportionately to the Cash Values in each Subaccount and each Fixed Account, unless otherwise elected. If one Variable Account holds interests in another, monthly deductions will be charged in only one. The Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be charged proportionately to the Cash Values in each Subaccount only, unless otherwise elected. MONTHLY COST OF INSURANCE: A deduction will be made on the Policy Date, and each monthly anniversary from the Policy Date, for the monthly cost of insurance. This monthly deduction will be charged proportionately to the Cash Values in each Subaccount and the Fixed Accounts, unless otherwise elected. If one Variable Account holds interests in another, monthly cost of insurance will be charged in only one. The monthly cost of insurance for each policy month is determined by multiplying the monthly cost of insurance rate by the Net Amount at Risk. The monthly cost of insurance rate is described under the Cost of Insurance Rates Provision. If there have been increases in the Specified Amount, then the Cash Value shall be first considered a part of the initial Specified Amount. If the Cash Value exceeds the initial Specified Amount, it shall then be considered a part of the increases in Specified Amount in the order of the increases. COST OF INSURANCE RATES: A separate monthly cost of insurance rate is used to obtain the monthly cost of insurance for the Insured's initial Specified Amount and each increase in Specified Amount. Each rate is based on the Insured's Issue Age, sex, underwriting class, and any substandard rating at the time the initial Specified Amount was issued, or increase took effect, and on the duration since that time. Monthly cost of insurance rates will be determined by us from time to time, based on our expectations as to future experience. Any change in cost of insurance rates will be on a uniform basis for Insureds of the same Issue Age, sex, underwriting class, and any substandard rating whose policies have been in force for the same length of time. These rates will never be greater than the Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates shown on the Policy Data Page. The basis for these Guaranteed Maximum Cost of Insurance Rates is shown in the Basis of Computation on the Policy Data Page. INTEREST CREDITING: Any Cash Value allocated to the Policy Loan Account will be credited interest daily. The guaranteed minimum annual effective rate is shown on the Policy Data Page. Interest in excess of the minimum guaranteed rate may be credited. Any Cash Value allocated to the Fixed Accounts will be credited interest daily. The guaranteed minimum annual effective rate for each Fixed Account is shown on the Policy Data Page. Interest in excess of the minimum guaranteed rate may be credited. Each Fixed Accounts may credit a different rate. The current interest rate in effect at the time of transfer to the Fixed Accounts will be guaranteed through the end of the calendar quarter. Thereafter, any excess interest rates will be guaranteed for the following three months. Where required, we have filed our method for determining current interest rates with the Insurance Department of the state in which this policy was delivered. MINIMUM LEGAL VALUES: The cash surrender, loan and other values in your policy are at least as large as those set by law in the state where it is delivered. Where required, we have given the insurance regulator a detailed statement of how we compute values and benefits. CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE: If the premium payments are not made, insurance coverage under this policy and any benefits provided by any Rider will be continued in force. Such coverage will be continued as provided in the Grace Period Provision. This provision will neither continue the policy beyond the Maturity Date, nor continue any Rider beyond the date for its termination, as provided in the Rider. SURRENDER CHARGE: When this policy lapses or is surrendered, a surrender charge is deducted from the Cash Value. Surrender charges are calculated separately for the initial Specified Amount and each increase in Specified Amount. The amount and duration of the surrender charges for each segment of coverage are shown in the Table of Surrender Charges on the Policy Data Page. COMPLETE SURRENDER: Your policy may be surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while it is in force. You must submit a written request on a form acceptable to us. We may also require the return of your policy. The date of surrender will be the date we receive your written request at our Home Office. The Cash Surrender Value will be determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during which your request is received. All coverage will end on the date of surrender. PARTIAL SURRENDER: A partial surrender may be made at any time while this policy is in force. You must submit a written request. We may also require that this policy be sent to us. We reserve the right to limit the number of partial surrenders in a policy year to one a year from the Policy Date. In addition, a partial surrender will be allowed only if after the partial surrender, this policy continues to qualify as a contract for life insurance. We reserve the right to deduct a fee from the Partial Surrender Amount you requested. The maximum fee is shown on the Policy Data Page. When a partial surrender is made, we will reduce the Cash Value by the Partial Surrender Amount. We will also reduce the Specified Amount by the amount necessary to prevent an increase in the Net Amount at Risk. However, the reduction to the Specified Amount will not be greater than the Partial Surrender Amount. Any such decrease to the Specified Amount as a result of an ordinary partial surrender will reduce insurance in the following order: 1. against the insurance provided by the most recent increase; 2. against the next most recent increase successively; and 3. against the insurance under the original application. We will allocate partial surrenders first among the Subaccounts in proportion to the Cash Value in each Subaccount as of the partial surrender date, unless otherwise elected. Partial surrenders will be transferred from the Fixed Accounts only when insufficient amounts are available in the Variable Subaccounts. Then, partial surrenders will be transferred from the Fixed Accounts based on each Fixed Account's transfer restriction level. Partial surrenders will be transferred from the Fixed Accounts with a lower percentage transfer restriction level only when insufficient amounts are available in the Fixed Accounts with a higher percentage transfer restriction level. Fixed Account transfer restrictions are stated on the Policy Data Page. A partial surrender is subject to the following conditions: 1. the minimum partial surrender is $200; 2. during each of the first ten years from the Policy Date, the sum of all partial surrenders in a policy year cannot exceed 10% of the Cash Surrender Value as of the beginning of that year. 3. after the completion of ten years from the Policy Date, the maximum amount of a partial surrender is the Cash Surrender Value less the greater of $500 or three monthly deductions; 4. a partial surrender may not reduce the Specified Amount below the Minimum Specified Amount; 5. a partial surrender will not be permitted if it violates the definition of life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code; and 6. Nationwide reserves the right to defer payment for a period permitted by law, but not more than six months from the date of the written partial surrender request. CHANGES IN POLICY COST FACTORS: Changes in cost of insurance rates, credited interest rates or other policy expense charges will be by class and will be based on changes in future expectations for factors such as: 1. investment earnings; 2. mortality; 3. persistency; 4. expenses; and 5. taxes. Any changes will be determined in accordance with the procedures on file, if required, with the insurance regulator in the state in which this policy was delivered. LOAN PROVISIONS POLICY LOAN: You may request a loan at any time while your policy is in force. All loans must be requested in writing on a form acceptable to us. The loan date is the date we process the loan. MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LOAN VALUE: A loan may not increase Indebtedness to exceed the maximum loan value as of the date of any loan. The maximum loan value is (1) plus (2) plus (3) minus (4) on the loan date, where: 1. is 90% of the Cash Value in the Variable Accounts; 2. is 100% of the Cash Value in the Fixed Accounts; 3. is 100% of the Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account; and 4. is 100% of the surrender charge. The minimum loan amount is $200. LOAN COLLATERAL AND CREDITED INTEREST: You must assign your policy to us as collateral for a loan. We will establish a Policy Loan Account equal to the amount of the loan. We will credit the Policy Loan Account with interest daily at the rate shown on the Policy Data Page. LOAN INTEREST ON INDEBTEDNESS: The loan interest rate is shown on the Policy Data Page. Interest is charged daily against Indebtedness and is payable at the end of each year from the Policy Date. Unpaid interest will be added to the existing Indebtedness as of the due date and will be charged interest at the same rate as the rest of the loan. LOAN REPAYMENT: All or part of a loan may be repaid to us at any time while your policy is in force during the Insured's lifetime. The minimum repayment is $50. Any payment intended as a loan repayment, rather than a premium payment, must be identified as such. Any Indebtedness that exists at the end of the grace period may not be repaid unless this policy is reinstated. EFFECT OF LOAN: When you take a loan, we will transfer an amount equal to the policy loan from a Subaccount or a Fixed Account to the Policy Loan Account. Any loan interest that becomes due and unpaid will also be transferred. Amounts transferred to the Policy Loan Account will earn interest daily from the date of transfer. When you repay part or all of a loan, we will transfer an amount equal to the amount you repay from the Policy Loan Account to a Subaccount or a Fixed Account. We reserve the right to require that any loan repayments resulting from loans transferred from a Fixed Account must be allocated to the corresponding Fixed Account. Unless you specify otherwise, we will allocate loans among the Subaccounts in proportion to the Cash Value in each Subaccount as of the loan date. Loan amounts will be transferred from a Fixed Account only when insufficient amounts are available in the Subaccounts. Then, loans will be transferred from the Fixed Accounts based on each Fixed Account's transfer restriction level. Loan amounts will be transferred from Fixed Accounts with a lower percentage transfer restriction level only when insufficient amounts are available in Fixed Accounts with a higher percentage transfer restriction level. Fixed Account transfer restriction levels are stated on the Policy Data Page. Any loan interest which becomes due and is unpaid will be transferred to the Policy Loan Account in proportion to the Cash Values in each Subaccount. Unless specified, loan repayments will be allocated among the Subaccounts using the Fund allocation factors in effect on the date of the repayment, subject to any other restrictions the Company may impose. Since the amount you borrow is removed from a Subaccount or a Fixed Account, a loan will have a permanent effect on any death benefit and Cash Surrender Value of this policy. The effect may be favorable or unfavorable. This is true whether you repay the loan or not. If not repaid, Indebtedness will reduce the amount of any Proceeds. TERMINATION OF POLICY: If the total Indebtedness ever equals or exceeds the Cash Value less the surrender charge, your policy may lapse, as described in the Lapse Provisions. EXCHANGE OF POLICY PROVISIONS RIGHT OF EXCHANGE: Within 24 months from the Policy Date, you may exchange this policy for a new policy on the life of the Insured. We will not require evidence of insurability for this exchange. A new policy means the policy for which this policy may be exchanged. CONDITIONS: Your right to make this exchange is subject to the following conditions: 1. You must ask for the exchange in writing to our Home Office on our official forms. 2. You must surrender this policy to us. 3. We must have your written request and this policy at our Home Office while this policy is in force and not in a grace period. 4. You must pay us any money due on the exchange. EXCHANGE DATE: The exchange date will be the later of: 1. the date we receive this policy and your written request at our Home Office; or 2. the date we receive at our Home Office any sum due to be paid for such an exchange. This new policy will take effect on the exchange date only if the Insured is alive. This policy will terminate when the new policy takes effect. NEW POLICY: The new policy may be a Flexible Premium Adjustable Life Insurance Policy offered by us on the Policy Date. The new policy will have a death benefit on the exchange date not more than the death benefit of this policy immediately prior to the exchange date. The new policy will have the same Policy Date and Issue Age as this policy. The initial Specified Amount and any increase in Specified Amount will have the same rate class as the one in this policy. Any Indebtedness may be transferred to the new policy. EXCHANGE AT OTHER TIMES: After 24 months from the Policy Date, you may exchange this policy for a new policy, subject to our approval. You must furnish any evidence of insurability we require and pay all costs associated with the exchange. VALUATION OF ASSETS IN A VARIABLE ACCOUNT DETERMINING INVESTMENT RESULTS: The Cash Value will change with a change in the investment results of the Subaccounts. An index called an accumulation unit value measures changes in a Subaccount's investment experience. Each Subaccount has its own accumulation unit value. For each Subaccount, the accumulation unit value was initially set at $10.00. The accumulation unit value for a Subaccount in each subsequent Valuation Period is equal to (1), multiplied by (2), where: (1) is the Subaccount's accumulation unit value for the preceding Valuation Period; and (2) is the Subaccount's net investment factor for the subsequent Valuation Period. NET INVESTMENT FACTOR: Because the net investment factor may be greater than or less than one, the accumulation unit value may increase or decrease from one Valuation Period to the next; however, the accumulation unit value remains constant throughout a Valuation Period. The net investment factor for a Subaccount for a Valuation Period is obtained by dividing (1) by (2), where: (1) is the net of: (a) the net asset value per underlying investment measurement unit of the Fund or Managed Account Option held in the Subaccount at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus (b) the per underlying investment measurement unit amount of any dividend and capital gains distributions made by a security held in the Subaccount if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the current Valuation Period; plus or minus (c) a per underlying investment measurement unit charge or credit for taxes reserved for, if any, which is determined by the Company to have resulted from the investment operations of the Subaccount. (2) is the net of: (a) the net asset value per share of the Fund held in the Subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period; plus or minus (b) the per underlying investment measurement unit charge or credit for taxes reserved for in the immediately preceding Valuation Period. THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT, ALLOCATIONS, TRANSFERS AND CHANGES VARIABLE ACCOUNT: A Variable Account is a separate investment account for the Company. One or more are named on the Policy Data Page. The Variable Account is subject to the laws of Ohio. We own the assets of the Variable Account; we keep them separate from the assets of our General Account. We maintain assets which are at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities of the Variable Account. Such assets will not be charged with liabilities that arise from any other business we conduct. We may transfer to our General Account assets which exceed the reserves and other liabilities of a Variable Account. We will determine the value of the assets in the Variable Account at the end of each Valuation Period. SUBACCOUNTS: The Variable Account may have multiple Subaccounts. We list them on the Policy Data Page. You determine, using Fund or Managed Account Option allocation factors, expressed as percentages, how Net Premiums will be allocated among the Subaccounts. You may choose to allocate nothing to a particular Subaccount. Any allocation you make must be at least 1%; you may not choose a fractional percent. The sum of the Fund and Managed Account Option allocation factors, together with your Fixed Account allocating must equal 100%. In states that require a full refund of premiums during the "Right to Examine Policy" period, Net Premiums will be allocated to a Subaccount that invest in a money market Fund or to a Fixed Account. The day following the end of this period, the Cash Value in that Subaccount will be transferred to the variable Subaccounts according to your chosen Fund allocation factors. Also, any subsequent Net Premiums will be allocated according to your chosen factors. Fund allocation factors during and immediately after the "Right to Examine Policy" period, are shown on the Policy Data Page. After the "Right to Examine Policy" period has expired, you may transfer amounts among the Subaccounts. Transfers will take effect on the date your written request is received at our Home Office, subject to any restrictions imposed by a Fund. You may change the allocation for future Net Premiums at any time while your policy is in force. To do so, you must notify us in writing in a form that meets our approval. The change will take effect on the date we receive your written request at our Home Office. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from assets in each Subaccount are credited to, or charged against, the Subaccount. This is without regard to income, gains, or losses in our other Subaccounts, separate investment accounts, or our General Account. RIGHT TO TRANSFER: You may transfer amounts among the Subaccounts on a daily basis. Transfers may be made via any method deemed acceptable by us. We reserve the right to refuse or limit any transfer request, or take any action we deem necessary with respect to transfers among specified Subaccounts in order to protect policy Owner and Beneficiaries from negative investment results that may arise from harmful investment practices employed by certain Owners or their representative. Our failure to exercise our rights under this section shall not be construed as a waiver of our rights. CHANGES OF SUBACCOUNT INVESTMENTS: A Managed Account Option Subaccount or a Subaccount holding one Fund might, in our judgment, become unsuitable for investment under the policy. This might happen because of a change in investment policy, a change in the laws or regulations, the investment option is no longer available for investment, or for some other reason. If this occurs, we have the right to substitute another investment option. However, we would first notify you and seek any required approvals from the SEC and the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of Ohio. OTHER CHANGES: To the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations (including any order of the SEC), we may make changes as follows: 1. A Variable Account may be operated as a management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or in any other form permitted by law, if we deem it to be in the best interest of the policy Owners. 2. A Variable Account may be deregistered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in the event registration is no longer required. 3. A Variable Account may be combined with other separate investment accounts. 4. The provisions of this and other policies may be modified to comply with any other applicable federal or state laws. In the event of such changes, we may make appropriate endorsement on this and other policies having an interest in a Variable Account and take other actions as may be necessary to effect such a change. FIXED ACCOUNT PROVISIONS FIXED ACCOUNT: The Fixed Accounts are funded by the General Account of the Company. The Fixed Accounts are credited with interest as described under the Nonforfeiture Provisions but the crediting rate may vary among Fixed Accounts. In addition to allocating your Net Premiums to one or more of the Subaccounts described above, you may direct all or part of your Net Premiums into one or more of the Fixed Accounts identified on the Policy Data Page. RIGHT TO TRANSFER: You may transfer amounts between the Fixed Accounts and the Subaccounts, subject to the limits below, without penalty or adjustment. We reserve the right to refuse or limit the number of transfers between the Fixed Accounts. FIXED ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS: We reserve the right to limit the amount transferred into or out of a Fixed Account during a policy year. The restrictions include limits on the amount of Fixed Account Cash Value, Subaccount Cash Value, or Policy Cash Value you may transfer to or from the Fixed Accounts. The maximum restrictions applicable to each Fixed Account are stated on the Policy Data Page. Transfers to the Fixed Accounts may not be made prior to the first policy anniversary or within 12 months of any prior transfer. PROCEEDS AND SETTLEMENT PROVISIONS PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS: Unless an optional mode of settlement is elected, we will pay the Proceeds in a lump sum. If you elect an optional mode of settlement, we will pay the Proceeds from our General Account, and the sum will no longer be affected by the investment experience of any Subaccount. OPTIONAL MODES OF SETTLEMENT: One or a combination of settlement options may be chosen. A settlement option may be chosen only if the total amount placed under the option is at least $2,000.00, and each payment is at least $20.00. A settlement option election may be changed at any time by a proper written request to our Home Office. Once recorded, it will become effective on the date it was requested. We may require proof of the age of any person to be paid under a settlement option. While this policy is in force, you may choose or change settlement options at any time. If no settlement option has been chosen prior to the Insured's death, the Beneficiary may choose one. A change of Beneficiary automatically revokes any option in effect. Settlement option payments are not assignable. To the extent allowed by law, settlement option payments are not subject to the claims of creditors or to legal process. Under Options 2, 3, 4, and 5, payments will be made at the beginning of each 12, 6, 3, or 1 month interval beginning on the date of the Insured's death, on the Maturity Date, or on the date of surrender, as applicable. Under Option 1 and 6, payments will be made at the end of every 12, 6, 3, or 1 month interval from the date of the Insured's death, on the Maturity Date, or on the date of surrender, as applicable. Under Options 1, 2, and 4, withdrawal of any outstanding balance may be made by written request to our Home Office. No amount left with us under Options 3, 5, or 6 may be withdrawn. Options 1, 2, 4, and the guaranteed period of Option 3, provide for payment of interest at a guaranteed minimum interest rate of 2 1/2% per year, compounded annually. Any interest to be paid in excess of this rate will be determined once a year. OPTION 1 - INTEREST INCOME: The Proceeds remain with us to earn interest. This interest may be left to accumulate or be paid periodically as stated above. OPTION 2 - INCOME FOR A FIXED PERIOD: Proceeds remaining with us will be paid over a specified number of years (not exceeding 30 years). Each payment consists of a portion of the Proceeds plus a portion of the interest credited on the outstanding balance. The amount payable monthly for each $1,000 left with us will be at least the amount shown in the Option 2 Table. OPTION 3 - LIFE INCOME WITH PAYMENTS GUARANTEED: Payments are made for a guaranteed period of 10, 15, or 20 years, and thereafter for the remainder of a payee's lifetime. The amount payable monthly for each $1,000 left with us is shown in the Option 3 Table, according to the payee's age on the effective date of the option. OPTION 4 - FIXED INCOME FOR VARYING PERIODS: The Proceeds may be left on deposit with us at interest with payments of a fixed amount being paid at specified intervals until principal and interest have been exhausted. The last payment will be for the balance only. The total amount payable each year may not be less than 5% of the original Proceeds. (i.e., not less than $50 per annum of each $1,000 of original Proceeds.) OPTION 5 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME: Equal payments will be made for the longer of the lives of two named payees. In other words, when one payee dies, the same payment continues to be paid for the remainder of the surviving payee's life. We will furnish values for other age combinations (than those shown in Option 5 Table) upon request. OPTION 6 - ALTERNATE LIFE INCOME: We will use the Proceeds to purchase an annuity. The amount payable will be 102% of our current individual immediate annuity purchase rate on the date of the Insured's death, on the Maturity Date, or on the date of surrender, as applicable. We reserve the right to change our current annuity rates at any time. However, once this option has been selected, any revision in rates will not affect payment to a payee or payees. Upon request, we will quote the amount currently payable under this settlement option. For "Settlement Option" Tables, please see Policy Data Pages. POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS: We will normally pay any amount payable upon the Insured's death, or on maturity, surrender, any partial surrender or policy loan, within seven days after we receive your written request, proof of death or any other information we may reasonably require to pay a claim. However, such payments may be postponed if: 1. the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except for customary holiday closings); or 2. the SEC requires trading be restricted or declares an emergency; or 3. the SEC lets us defer payments for the protection of our policy Owners.

This Rider is subject to the terms and provisions of the policy except where otherwise provided. All terms not specifically defined in this Rider have the meaning set forth in the policy. DEFINITIONS AGE 75: Age 75 means the policy anniversary on or next following an Insured's 75th birthday. EFFECTIVE DATE: The Effective Date of this Rider is the Policy Date unless a different date is shown on the Policy Data Page. RIDER CHARGE RATE: This rate varies by Attained Age and is the percentage of the Cash Value taken as the charge for invoking this Rider. SPECIAL FIXED ACCOUNT: An account funded by the General Account of The Company that credits interest at the guaranteed fixed rate of the base policy. For additional definitions, please see the base policy. BENEFITS Upon Invocation, this Rider will provide lapse protection for policies with outstanding Indebtedness by providing a guaranteed paid-up insurance benefit. REQUIREMENTS To invoke this Rider, the policy must meet all of the following requirements: 1. The policy has reached its 15th anniversary. 2. If attached to an individual policy, the Insured must be at least Age 75. If attached to a survivorship policy, the younger Insured must be at least Age 75. 3. The Cash Value is at least $100,000. 4. All amounts that may be withdrawn from the policy without the imposition of federal income tax must be taken as partial surrenders. 5. The policy is issued under the Guideline Premium/ Cash Value Corridor Test of Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. This Rider is not available on Cash Value Accumulation Test policies. 6. The Indebtedness becomes more than a specified percentage of the policy's Cash Value. This percentage is called the "Trigger Point" and varies by Attained Age of the Insured(s). The Trigger Points are shown in the attached table. The first time the requirements for invoking this Rider are met, a letter will be sent to the Owner at which time you may choose to invoke this Rider. If the policy meets all of the above requirements and the Owner does not choose to invoke the Rider, you still have the right to invoke the Rider at a later date as long as the policy stays in force and provided that the above requirements are still met. NOTICE TO INVOKE Before we take any action to invoke this Rider, we must receive at our Home Office a written notice from the policy Owner directing us to invoke this Rider. RIDER COST There is no charge for this Rider unless the Owner invokes it. If this Rider is invoked, the one-time Rider charge is the product of (1) multiplied by (2), where: 1. is the Cash Value; and 2. is the Rider Charge Rate for the Insured's Attained Age which is shown in the Policy Data Pages. If the Cash Value minus Indebtedness is not enough to cover the Rider charge, the Owner will be required to pay back enough of the Indebtedness in the form of a loan repayment such that there is enough Cash Value minus Indebtedness to cover the entire Rider charge. There are no periodic charges. TEST FOR 7702 COMPLIANCE When the requirements for invoking this Rider have been met, and the Owner elects to invoke this Rider, the death benefit will be adjusted in two steps in compliance with Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code: 1. If the Death Benefit Option is not already Option 1, it will be converted to Option 1, with a death benefit equal to the Specified Amount as of the date of the conversion. 2. If the policy is not at its Minimum Required Death Benefit, the Specified Amount will be set equal to minimum of (A) and (B), where: A. is the Specified Amount immediately before Invocation; and B. Minimum Required Death Benefit immediately after Rider charge. If this adjusted Specified Amount is not compliant with Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Owner will not be allowed to invoke this Rider. OPERATION OF THE POLICY UPON INVOKING THE RIDER After the Rider charge is taken from the Cash Value as described in the Rider Cost Provision and the death benefit is adjusted as described in the Test for 7702 Compliance Provision: 1. The Indebtedness will continue to grow at the policy's loan charged rate. 2. The Policy Loan Account will continue to grow at the policy's loan credited rate. 3. The Cash Value minus Policy Loan Account remaining after the one-time Rider charge will be placed in the Special Fixed Account and will continue to grow at the guaranteed fixed crediting rate of the base policy. 4. No monthly deductions or additional charges will be taken from the policy's Cash Value. 5. The policy is locked so no further loans or partial surrenders may be taken (with the exception of a complete surrender). 6. No further premium payments or loan repayments (with exception of minimum loan repayments required to pay the one-time Rider charge) will be allowed. 7. The death benefit will continue to be defined as the maximum of (A) and (B) where: A. is the adjusted Specified Amount after invoking the Rider; and B. is the Minimum Required Death Benefit. 8. The death Proceeds will continue to be defined as outlined in the base policy. The policy will be guaranteed and placed in a "paid-up" status. EFFECT ON OTHER RIDERS Invoking this rider will affect other policy Riders. 1. Maturity Extension a. Maturity Extension for Cash Value will not be affected. b. Maturity Extension for Specified Amount will be affected if there is a change in Death Benefit Option and/or a reduction in Specified Amount at the time of Invocation. This will result in reduced benefits paid under the Maturity Extension for Specified Amount. 2. Long Term Care a. Prior to Invocation, this Rider will not affect the Long Term Care Rider. b. After this Rider is invoked, the policy Owner will no longer be eligible for Long Term Care benefits and the Long Term Care Rider will terminate. 3. Spouse Rider a. Prior to Invocation, this Rider will not affect the Spouse Rider. b. After this Rider is invoked, the policy Owner will no longer be eligible for Spouse Rider benefits and the Spouse Rider will terminate. 4. Waiver of Monthly Deductions a.

After this Rider is invoked, the policy Owner will no longer be eligible for Waiver of Monthly Deductions benefits and the Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider will terminate. 5. Policy Split Option Rider a. Prior to Invocation, this Rider will not affect the Policy Split Option Rider. b. After this Rider is invoked, the policy Owner will no longer be eligible for Policy Split Option benefits and the Policy Split Option Rider will terminate.

Secretary President CHILDREN'S INSURANCE RIDER ATTACHED TO AND MADE A PART OF THIS POLICY ISSUED BY NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Columbus, Ohio 43215-2220 GENERAL PROVISIONS This Rider is part of the policy to which it is attached. This Rider is subject to the terms and provisions of the policy except where it provides otherwise.

DEFINITIONS Under this Rider: INSURED CHILD--Insured Child means a child, stepchild, or legally adopted child of the Insured who is at least 15 days old and: 1. is named in the application and is less than 18 years of age on the date the application is signed; or 2. is born to the Insured and Insured's spouse after the date of the application; or 3. is legally adopted by the Insured after the date of the application but before the child's 18th birthday. A child ceases to be an Insured Child on the Policy Anniversary on or next following his or her 22nd birthday. BENEFICIARY--Beneficiary means the person to whom the proceeds of this Rider will be paid upon the death of an Insured Child. Unless otherwise provided, the Beneficiary under this Rider will be the Insured, if living. If the Insured is not living, the Beneficiary will be the estate of the deceased Insured Child. CHILD'S DEATH BENEFIT--Child's Death Benefit means an amount equal to $1,000 times the number of units for this Rider. The number of units is shown on the Policy Data Page. EXPIRY DATE--Expiry Date means the Policy Anniversary on or next following an Insured Child's 22nd Birthday or on the termination date of this Rider, if earlier. BENEFIT This Rider provides level term insurance on each Insured Child until such child's Expiry Date for an amount equal to a Child's Death Benefit. We will pay a Child's Death Benefit to the Beneficiary under this Rider upon receipt at our Home Office of proof of the death of an Insured Child. The death must occur while this Rider is in force and before such child's Expiry Date. PAID-UP INSURANCE BENEFITS If the Insured dies while this Rider is in force, the insurance under this Rider will continue as paid-up term insurance on the life of each Insured Child. "Paid-Up" means no further charges are required for this insurance. "Each Insured Child" means any Insured Child living on the Insured's death and any child born to the Insured and Insured's spouse after the date of death who reaches 15 days of age. The amount of coverage for each Insured Child will be equal to the Child's Death Benefit. This paid-up term insurance will remain in effect until the earlier of: 1. the Policy Anniversary on or next following an Insured's Child's 22nd birthday; or 2. the Policy Anniversary on which the Insured would have reached Attained Age 65; or 3. the Policy Anniversary on which the policy was scheduled to mature. Each Insured Child will be the Owner of the insurance on his or her life. If the child dies while it is in force, the amount payable will be paid to his or her estate. This paid-up term insurance may be surrendered at any time for its cash value. On the date of surrender, the cash value will equal the present value of future paid-up insurance benefits. However, if it is surrendered within 31 days after a Policy Anniversary, the cash value will not be less than it would have been on that Policy Anniversary. To calculate such a value, we use mortality rates from the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table for males. We assume that interest will be earned at an annual rate of 4% and death benefits will be paid immediately. We will furnish such values on request. CONVERSION The insurance provided by this Rider on an Insured Child may be converted, without evidence of insurability, to a new policy on the life of such Insured Child. The new policy may be any level premium, level benefit, permanent plan of Whole Life or Endowment Insurance which we issue on the date of conversion. The amount of the new policy cannot be less than our minimum issue limit for the selected policy and not more than 5 times the Child's Death Benefit, or $25,000. We will always make available a plan to which the Insured Child may convert. While this Rider is in force, an Insured Child may convert on one of the following dates: 1. the date the Insured Child marries; or 2. the Policy Anniversary on or next following the Insured Child's 18th or 22nd birthday.

The application for conversion must be received within 31 days of the date on which the conversion is permitted and must be on a form satisfactory to us. 2. The first premium for the converted policy must be received with the application for conversion. 3.

Riders may be added to the new policy only with our consent. 5. The premium for the new policy will be based on the rates in effect on the date of conversion for the amount of insurance selected and the Insured Child's Attained Age and sex. The rate class of the new policy will be the rate class of the Insured Child under this Rider. 6. The Incontestability and Suicide provisions of the new policy will be effective from the effective date of this Rider. EXTENDED COVERAGE We will pay a death benefit equal to the amount which would have been paid had the term insurance been in force if : 1. any Insured Child dies within 31 days after his or her Expiry Date; and 2. before any new policy provided by the conversion privilege becomes effective. INCONTESTABILITY With respect to the insurance on each Insured Child named in the application, we will not contest this Rider after it has been in force during that Insured Child's lifetime for 2 years from its effective date. This Rider will be incontestable immediately as to the insurance on an Insured Child born to or adopted by the Insured after the effective date. SUICIDE EXCLUSION If the Insured dies of suicide within 2 years of the effective date of this Rider, the insurance provided by this Rider may be converted as stated in the Conversion Provision. If an Insured Child dies of suicide within 2 years of the effective date of this Rider, we will pay nothing. ERROR IN AGE OR SEX If the Insured Child's Age was misstated in the application, such that the Child would not be covered on the date of death, the death benefit, if any, will be equal to the cost of insurance paid since the Policy Anniversary on or next following the youngest Insured Child's 22nd birthday.

REINSTATEMENT If the policy to which this Rider is attached is reinstated, then this Rider may be reinstated at the same time. Evidence of insurability, satisfactory to us, will be required for each Insured Child to be covered. If we are not satisfied with the evidence of insurability furnished as to any child, we may, upon reinstating this Rider, exclude such child from coverage by endorsement. No benefits will be payable as a result of the death of any child if such death occurred after the end of the Grace Period and before the date of reinstatement.

BENEFIT We will waive the Monthly Deductions for this Policy when we receive proof, satisfactory to us, that: 1. the Insured has become totally disabled while this Rider is in effect; and 2. the Total Disability has continued for at least six consecutive months. If Total Disability begins before Age 60, we will waive each Monthly Deduction due after such disability begins and while it continues. If Total Disability begins on or after Age 60 but before Age 65, we will waive each Monthly Deduction due after the Total Disability begins and while it continues, but only to Age 65, or, if longer, during the first 24 months after the date such disability begins. No Monthly Deduction will be waived which became due before a Total Disability has existed continuously for six months. Monthly Deductions which become due before a claim for waiver is approved will be deducted from the Contract Value as stated in this Policy. Once the claim is approved, we will credit to the Contract Value any Monthly Deduction that became due after Total Disability began, plus any interest which we would otherwise have credited. We will not waive any Monthly Deduction which fell due more than 12 months before the date we receive written notice of the claim and proof of the Insured's Total Disability. DISABILITY DURING FIRST THREE POLICY YEARS During the first three Policy years, we will waive the Minimum Monthly Premium, rather than the Monthly Deduction, while the Insured remains disabled. The Contract Value will increase by the amount in which the Minimum Monthly Premium exceeds the Monthly Deduction, just as if the Minimum Monthly Premium had been paid. RISKS NOT ASSUMED No benefit will be provided by this Rider if Total Disability results in any way from: 1. an intentionally self-inflicted injury; 2. a war, declared or undeclared; or 3. an act of war while the Insured serves in the armed forces of any country, group of countries or international organization at war, declared or undeclared. NOTICE OF CLAIM AND PROOF OF DISABILITY Before we waive any Monthly Deduction, we must receive at our Home Office a written notice of the claim and proof, satisfactory to us, that the Insured is totally disabled. Such notice and proof must be received: 1. while the Insured is alive and totally disabled; and 2. not later than 12 months after this Rider terminates; or 3. not later than 12 months after the disability began. Failure to give notice and proof within such time will not invalidate the claim if it is shown that each was given as soon as reasonably possible. If Total Disability begins during a grace period, we will waive Monthly Deductions only if sufficient premium is paid to cover the Monthly Deductions through the policy month in which Total Disability began. PROOF OF CONTINUANCE OF TOTAL DISABILITY At reasonable intervals during the two years following our approval of a Total Disability claim, we may require proof that the Insured has continued to be totally disabled. Thereafter, we will not require such proof more often than once a year. As part of any proof, we have the right to have the Insured examined by one or more physicians named by us. Such examinations will be at our expense. If such proof is not submitted when requested by us, we will deem the Insured no longer totally disabled and no further Monthly Deductions will be waived. POLICY CHANGES AND ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS While Monthly Deductions are being waived, we will not allow: 1. Changes in the Specified Amount; 2. Changes in the death benefit option; 3. Changes in the Maturity Date; and 4. The addition of riders. Additional contributions to the Contract Value of the policy will be allowed, if permitted by law. ERROR IN SEX OR AGE If the Insured's age has been misstated on the application, the charges and benefits payable will be adjusted to reflect the difference in age. There will be no adjustment of benefits due to a misstatement of sex. INCONTESTABILITY This Rider will not be contestable after it has been in force during the life of the Insured for 2 years from its effective date, except as to Total Disability of the Insured which begins prior to the end of such 2 year period. TERMINATION This Rider will terminate on the earliest of the following dates: 1. the Policy Anniversary on or next following the Insured's 65th birthday; provided that this will not affect any valid claim arising from Total Disability which began before such date; 2. the date the policy terminates; 3. the Monthly Anniversary Day on or next following the receipt at our Home Office of the Owner's written request to terminate this Rider. We may ask for the return of this Policy for our endorsement. RIDER COST The monthly cost for this Rider is equal to the product of (1) times (2) times (3), where: 1. is the Monthly Deduction excluding the cost for this Rider; 2. is the rate class multiple for this Rider shown on the Policy Data Page; 3. is the factor based on the Insured's Attained Age which is shown in the attached table. The monthly cost for this Rider will be included in the Monthly Deduction from the policy Contract Value as long as this Rider is in force. /s/PATRICIA R. HATLER /s/MARK R.
