The Owner has elected Death Benefit Option 1, Level Death: the Total Face Amount, less any partial withdrawals, less any outstanding loans, and loan interest accrued, will be payable upon the Insured's death. Each partial withdrawal will cause a decrease in the Death Benefit. In some cases, growth of the Policy Value Account may require the Company to adjust the Death Benefit in order to comply with Internal Revenue Code Regulations. The Cash Value Accumulation Test is used for this calculation. The Table is shown on Policy Page 1b.

The Owner does not share in the investment experience of the General Account, but is allowed to allocate and Transfer Policy Value into the Fixed Account.

ENTIRE CONTRACT

This policy, any endorsements, any riders, and the application form the entire contract. A copy of the application is attached. After issue, amendments or changes in writing and agreed to by the Company are part of the contract.

If no Request is made by the date of termination, future Premium allocations to the terminated Investment Division or Underlying Fund will be allocated to the Money Market Investment Division. Any modification will not affect the terms, provisions

or conditions which are, or may be, applicable to Premium payments previously made to any such Investment Division.

INCONTESTABILITY PROVISION

This policy will not be contested on the basis of material misrepresentation after it has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for 2 years from the Issue Date. However, this 2 year limit does not apply to any rider attached to this policy which provides:

(a)benefits in the event of disability; or

Payment will be made to the Beneficiary. This provision does not apply if coverage is reinstated after two years from the Date of Issue.

If the face amount is increased, and if the Insured commits suicide, within 2 years from the effective date of any increase, the Company will pay only that portion of the Policy Value Account and the cost of insurance paid for the amount of increase. The face amount of the policy will be reduced to the face amount that was in effect prior to the increase.

VOTING RIGHTS

The Company will exercise any voting rights associated with the Series Account investments in its sole discretion in accordance with applicable law.

CURRENCY

All amounts to be paid to or by the Company will be in the currency of the United States of America.

NON-PARTICIPATING

This policy is non-participating. It is not eligible to share in the Company's divisible surplus.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE AND/OR SEX

If the Insured's age and/or sex on the Policy Date has been misstated, the benefits payable under this policy will be the amount of insurance that the cost of insurance (deducted from the Policy Value Account at the beginning of the month in which death occurred) would have purchased for the correct age and/or sex on the Policy Date.

If the age and/or sex of the Insured or any other person covered under a rider has been misstated on the Policy Date, the benefits payable under the rider will be the benefit that the amount charged would have purchased for the correct age and/or sex on the Policy Date.

If the age is misstated in such a way that the Insured was not eligible for coverage under the policy, the Company's liability will be limited to a return of the Premiums paid, less any partial withdrawals and outstanding loans and accrued loan interest and the cost for riders.

POLICY YEARS AND ANNIVERSARIES

Policy years and anniversaries will be measured from the Policy Date shown on Page 1.

PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS

The first Premium is due on or before the Policy Date shown on Page 1. The Company will mail the Owner a billing notice 30 days in advance of the Premium due date.

All Premiums after the first are to be made payable to the Company at the Corporate Headquarters and will be due on the first day of any Policy Month in which the cost of insurance exceeds the Policy Value Account less any outstanding loans and less any accrued loan interest. Subject to limitations as provided in this policy, Premiums paid after the first may be paid in any amount and at any time before the Paid-Up Life Insurance Provision goes into effect. A premium allocation confirmation will be sent upon receipt of each Premium.

ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS

During the Free Look Period, amounts to be allocated to one or more of the Investment Divisions will first be allocated to the Money Market Investment Division and will remain there until the next Transaction Date following the end of the Free Look Period plus 5 calendar days. On that date, the Sub-Account Value held in the Money Market Investment Division will be allocated to the Investment Division(s) selected by the Owner.

Once issued, this policy will continue in force unless it terminates due to non-payment of premiums.

J355rev4-ny

Page 8

General Provisions (continued)

GRACE PERIOD PROVISION

The first day of each Policy Month is the due date for any Premium required to keep the policy in force for that month. Except for the first Premium, if the amount in the Policy Value Account, less any outstanding policy loans and less any accrued loan interest, on the last day of a Policy Month is not sufficient to cover the monthly deduction for the cost of insurance for the next PolicyMonth, a grace period of 61 days from the due date will be allowed for the payment of an amount sufficient to cover the monthly cost of insurance for the next 2 months.

Coverage will remain in force during the grace period. If the Premium due is not paid within the grace period, all coverage under this policy will cease at the end of the 61 day period.

A report of the insufficiency of the Policy Account Value and notice of such Premium due will be mailed to the last known address of the Owner and any assignee of record at least 31 days prior to the date coverage will cease.

If the Insured dies during the grace period, any cost of insurance charges due and unpaid will be deducted from the Death Benefit Proceeds in effect immediately prior to such period.

PERIODIC PREMIUM AMOUNT

The Company may suggest a periodic premium amount. The actual amount of Premiums needed may change, depending on the number of Premium payments made, changes in coverage, investment experience, monthly risk rate, and partial withdrawals made.

ADDITIONAL PREMIUM PAYMENTS PROVISION

Besides the periodic premium amount, the Owner may make additional Premium payments as described below prior to the date the Paid-Up Life Insurance Provision goes into effect.

Additional Premium payments may be limited to amounts that will not exceed tax guidelines and jeopardize the tax status of the policy as life insurance. The minimum additional Premium that will be accepted at one time is $100. The Company reserves the right to restrict or refuse additional Premium payments that exceed the Initial Periodic Premium Amount shown on Page 1.

REINSTATEMENT

This policy may be reinstated within 3 years after the coverage ceased, unless it has been surrendered.

The Company must receive:

A Request from the Owner, including a written application for reinstatement.

Evidence of Insurability for the Insured and any other person covered by rider, at the Owner's expense, including evidence of good health satisfactory to the Company.

Payment of the cost of insurance for the grace period.

Payment of an amount equal to 3 months' cost of insurance. Such payment less the expense charges will be credited to the Policy Value Account as of the date of reinstatement.

Payment or reinstatement of any policy loan which was outstanding as of the date the coverage ceased, including interest thereon. Interest will be 6.00% per year. Interest will be compounded annually to the date of the policy reinstatement. Interest will not exceed the applicable policy loan rates or rates determined in accordance with these policyprocedures.

Reinstatement will become effective on the date the application for reinstatement is approved by the Company.

ANNUAL STATEMENT

Within 30 days after each policy anniversary, the Company will send the Owner a statement showing:

The Policy Value Account; The Death Benefit

Premiums paid and investment experience since the last statement;

Partial withdrawals and charges since the last statement;

Outstanding policy loans and loan interest paid since the last statement;

General Provisions (continued)

ILLUSTRATION OF BENEFITS AND VALUES

The Owner may at any time Request from the Company an illustration of future Death Benefits and Cash Surrender Values. The first illustration provided during a policy year will be at no charge. Each additional illustration during that policy year will be subject to a maximum fee of $50. This illustration will be based on:

The current Policy Value Account; Assumed investment experience;

Coverage amounts and the Death Benefit option elected;

Recommended periodic premium amounts; and Current monthly risk rates.

EXCHANGE OF POLICY

Subject to the Company's approval, the Owner may exchange this policy for a new policy issued by the Company that does not provide for variable benefits. The new policy will have the same Policy Date, Issue Age, and Insured as this policy on the date of exchange.

The Total Face Amount of the new policy may not exceed the Total Face Amount of this policy on the date of exchange. The premium rate will be the rate used for the new policy of insurance on the Policy Date for the mortality class in which this policy has been placed. The Company will determine any other requirements or costs. Any excess Cash Surrender Value will be payable to the Owner; this distribution may be a taxable event to the Owner.

Although evidence of insurability will not be required, the following terms apply:

the exchange must be made within 24 months after the Issue Date of this policy; and

any Loan Account Value must be repaid.

CHANGE OF TOTAL FACE AMOUNT

By Request, the Owner may increase or decrease the Total Face Amount provided by this policy, subject to the Company's approval. Any change in Total Face Amount may be limited to amounts that will not exceed tax guidelines and jeopardize thetax status of the policy as life insurance.

For a decrease in Total Face Amount:

The Company must receive a Request.

The decrease will become effective on the first day of the Policy Month following approval of the Request.

The decrease will apply first to the most recent increase or increases in Total Face Amount for purposes of the Incontestability Provision.

The minimum decrease amount will be $25,000. The Total Face Amount may not be decreased below $100,000 unless prior approval is obtained from the Company.

For an increase in Total Face Amount: The Company must receive a Request.

The increase will be subject to Evidence of Insurability satisfactory to the Company.

The increase will be effective on the policy anniversary following the approval of the Request for the increase, subject to the deduction of the first month's cost of insurance from the Policy Value Account.

The minimum increase amount will be $25,000.

Death Benefit Provisions

DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS

The Death Benefit option for this policy as of the Issue Date is shown on Page 1. The Death Benefit is determined by the option in effect at the Insured's date of death.

Option 1: Level Death

The Death Benefit will be the greater of:

a)the Total Face Amount shown on Page 1, less any partial withdrawals; and

b)the Policy Value Account on the Insured's date of death times the applicable Factor shown in the Table on Page 1b.

J355rev4-ny

The Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of any outstanding loans and loan interest accrued.

Option 2: Coverage Plus

The Death Benefit will be the greater of:

a)the Total Face Amount shown on Page 1, plus the Policy Value Account on the Insured's date of death; and

b)the Policy Value Account on the Insured's date of death times the applicable Factor shown in the Table on Page 1b.

The Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of any outstanding loans and loan interest

accrued.

Page 10

Death Benefit Provisions (continued)

CHANGE OF DEATH BENEFIT OPTION

After the first policy year, but not more than once each policy year, the Owner may change the Death Benefit option by Request. Any change will be effective on the first day of the Policy Month following the date the Company approves the Request. A maximum fee of $100 will be deducted from the Policy Value Account for each change.

A change in the Death Benefit option is subject to the following conditions:

If the change is from Option 1 to Option 2, the amount payable upon the death of the Insured will remain the same and the new Total Face Amount, at the time of the change, will equal the prior Total Face Amount less the Policy Value Account. Evidence of Insurability may be required.

If the change is from Option 2 to Option 1, the amount payable upon the death of the Insured will remain the same and the new Total Face Amount, at the time of the change, will equal the prior Total Face Amount plus the Policy Value Account.

DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT

After the Company receives due proof of loss, the Death Benefit payable on the Insured's death will be paid in a lump sum.

The Company will pay interest on the Death Benefit Proceeds at a rate not less than that required by law.

Policy Values, Loan and Nonforfeiture Provisions

COST OF INSURANCE

An amount will be deducted on the first day of each Policy Month from the Policy Value Account to pay the cost of insurance for that Policy Month. The cost of insurance is calculated on the first day of each Policy Month and is equal to:

the Death Benefit divided by 1.00327374 less the Policy Value Account on the first day of each Policy Month, multiplied by the current monthly risk rate for the Insured's Attained Age,

plus

the extra charge for any rated class plus

the monthly Service Charge plus

the cost of any riders.

If there has been an increase or decrease in Death Benefit during the policy year, the cost of insurance calculation will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the change.

RISK RATE

The maximum monthly risk rate is shown on Page 1a. The Company may charge a lower monthly risk rate. The maximum risk rates shown on Page 1a are based on the Mortality Tables shown on the specification

page, age nearest birthday.

The Company reserves the right to change the monthly risk rate based on our expectations of future mortality, investment earnings, persistency, capital and reserve requirements, and expenses (including taxes) subject to the maximum risk rates. Any change will be made uniformly byclass.

EXPENSE CHARGE

The maximum expense charge for this policy is shown on Page 1. The charge is a percentage of all Premiums paid. This charge is guaranteed and may not be increased.

The expense charge will be deducted from each Premium paid. This would include any Premium paid to reinstate the policy.

SERVICE CHARGE

The maximum service charge for this policy is shown on Page 1. This charge is deducted from the Policy Value Account on the first day of each policy month. This charge is guaranteed and may not be increased.

J355rev4-ny

Page 11

Policy Values, Loan and Nonforfeiture Provisions (Continued)

POLICY VALUE ACCOUNT

The Policy Value Account is equal to the Sub-Account Value plus the Fixed Account Value plus the Loan Account Value.

Each Premium less any expense charge will be credited to the Policy Value Account on the date received at the Corporate Headquarters. On the first day of each policy month a deduction will be made from this account for the cost of insurance.

SUB-ACCOUNT VALUE

The Sub-Account Value is the total dollar amount ofall accumulation units under each of the Owner's Sub- Accounts excluding the Fixed Account. Initially, the value of each Accumulation Unit was set at $10.00. Each Sub-Account's Value is equal to thesum of:

the value of the Sub-Account at the last Valuation Date;

any Premium, less Expense Charges deducted from Premiums received during the current Valuation Period which is allocated to the Sub- Account;

any loan repayment amount;

all values transferred to the Sub-Account; and any net investment return allocated to the Sub- Account.

MINUS the following:

all values transferred to another Sub-Account and the Loan Account Value taken from the Sub- Account during the current Valuation Period;

all partial withdrawals from the Sub-Account during the current Valuation Period.

In addition, whenever a Valuation Period includes the monthly anniversary day, value of the Sub- Account at the end of such period is reduced by the portion of the cost of insurance charges allocated to the Sub- Account and any other investment charges specified on Page 1.

The Sub-Account Value is expected to change from Valuation Period to Valuation Period, reflecting the investment experience of the selected Investment Division(s) as well as the deductions for charges.

Premiums which the Owner allocates to an Investment Division are used to purchase accumulation units in the Investment Division(s) the Owner selects. The number of accumulation units to be credited will be determined by dividing the portion of each Premium allocated to or amount transferred to the Investment Division by the value of an Accumulation Unit determined at the end of the Valuation Period during which the Premium was received or the amount was transferred to the Investment Division. In the case of the initial

J355rev4-ny

Premium, accumulation units for that payment will be credited to the Sub-Account Value held in the Money Market Investment Division until the end of the Free Look Period. In the case of any subsequent Premium, accumulation units for that payment will be credited at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive the Premium. The value of an Accumulation Unit for each Investment Division for a Valuation Period is established at the end of each Valuation Period and is calculated by multiplying the value of that unit at the end of the prior Valuation Period by the Investment Division's net investment factor for the Valuation Period.

FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE

The Fixed Account Value is

Premiums, less Expense Charges, allocated to the Fixed Account; plus

Sub-Account Value transferred to the Fixed Account; plus

Interest credited to the Fixed Account; minus The portion of any accrued policy fees and charges allocated to the Fixed Account; minus

Partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account including any applicable partial withdrawal charges; minus

Transfers from the Fixed Account, including any applicable Transfer charges.

During any policy month the Fixed Account Value will be calculated on a consistent basis. For purposes of crediting interest, policy value deducted, transferred or withdrawn from the Fixed Account is accounted for on a first in first out basis

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

The net investment factor for any Investment Division for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b), and subtracting (c) from the result where:

(a)is the net result of:

(i)the net asset value held in the Investment Division determined as of the end of the current Valuation Period; plus

(ii)the amount of any dividend (or, if applicable, capital gain distributions) on assets held in the Investment Division if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the current Valuation Period; minus or plus

(iii)a charge or credit for any taxes incurred by or reserved for in the Investment Division, which is determined by the Company to have resulted from the investment operations of the Investment Division.

Page 12

Policy Values, Loan and Nonforfeiture Provisions (continued)

(b)is the net result of:

(i)the net asset value held in the Investment Division determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period; minus or plus

(ii)the charge or credit for any taxes incurred by or reserved for in the Investment Division for the immediately preceding Valuation Period.

(c)is an amount representing the Mortality and Expense risk charge deducted from each Investment Division on a daily basis, equal to an annual rate as a percentage of the daily net asset value of each Investment Division. The actual mortality and expense charge is determined by the company, but may not exceed the annual guaranteed maximum Mortality and Expense charge of .90%

The net investment factor may be greater than, less than, or equal to one. Therefore, the accumulation unit value may increase, decrease or remain unchanged.

The net asset value includes a deduction for an investment advisory fee. This fee compensates the investment adviser for services provided to the Underlying Fund. The fee may differ between Underlying Funds and may be renegotiated each year.

FIXED ACCOUNT INTEREST

The interest rate credited to the Policy Value Account in the Fixed Account is set by the Company but is guaranteed to be at least the interest rate shown on the policy specifications page. We may credit interest at rates higher than the minimum guaranteed rate. We will review the interest rate at least once a year, but at the Company's discretion. We may reset the interest rate monthly.

CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE

If Premium payments cease, coverage under this policy or any attached riders will continue until the Policy Value Account, less any outstanding loans, and less loan interest accrued is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction for the cost of insurance. When the amount is insufficient, the Grace Period Provision will go into effect.

pattern of borrowing that is likely to require all of or substantial part of cash values to be pledged as security against repayment of such loans unless the borrowing was incurred because of unforeseen increase in financial obligations.

EFFECT OF A LOAN

When a policy loan is made, funds are transferred out of the Series Account and Fixed Account and into the Loan Account. When a policy loan is repaid, the amount of repayment is added according to current Premium allocations. If a payment is not designated as loan repayment, the Company will treat the payment as a Premium payment.

A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Cash Surrender Value and on the Death Benefit, as described in this policy. If not repaid, any indebtedness will reduce the amount of Death Benefit Proceeds and the amount available upon surrender of this policy.

A policy loan will not be treated as a taxable distribution under Section 72 unless:

this policy is surrendered or lapsed while there is an outstanding loan; or

this policy is a modified endowment contract.

If this policy is a modified endowment contract, a 10% penalty will apply to the amount of the loan included as gross income unless the loan is made after the date the Owner becomes 59½ or becomes disabled.

LOAN INTEREST

Interest credited on the Loan Account is the loan interest rate less a maximum of .90%.

A policy loan will be a first lien on the policy in favor of the Company.

The expense charge will not apply to repayments of policy loans.

Loan amounts will be withdrawn from all the Sub- Accounts and the Fixed Account on a pro rata basis.

POLICY LOAN

After this policy has been in force for 3 years, the Owner, by Request, may obtain a loan from the Company on the security of the policy. The minimum loan amount is $500. The total amount of loans cannot be more than the maximum described in the Loan Value Provision. During the first 5 years subsequent to the issuance of the policy, the Owner is prohibited from undertaking a

Policy Values, Loan and Nonforfeiture Provisions (continued)

LOAN INTEREST RATE

The loan interest rate will be determined annually at the beginning of each policy year and will not exceed that permitted by state insurance law. It is guaranteed for that policy year and applies to all loans outstanding during that policy year. Interest is due and payable on each policy anniversary. Interest not paid when due will be added to the loan and will bear interest at the loan interest rate. The policy will not lapse solely as a result of a change in the policy loan interest rate.

The maximum loan interest rate for policy loans is based on a Published Monthly Average. That average is:

(a)The Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average - Monthly Average Corporates as published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or any successor thereto; or

(b)In the event that the Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average - Monthly Average Corporates is no longer published, a substantially similar average, established by regulation issued bythe Superintendent.

The Company must reduce the loan interest rate if the maximum loan interest rate is lower than the loan interest rate for the previous policy year by one-half of one percent or more.

Any increase to the loan interest rate must be at least one-half of one percent. No increase may be made if the loan interest rate would exceed the maximum loan interest rate.

The Company will send to the Owner and any assignee of record with loans a notification of the initial interest rate at the time of the loan and advance notice of any increase in the rate.

SURRENDER BENEFIT

The Owner may surrender this policy for the Surrender Benefit. The Surrender Benefit is the Policy Value Account less any outstanding policy loans and less accrued loan interest on the date of surrender.

RETURN OF EXPENSE CHARGE

If the policy is surrendered for the Surrender Benefit within the first seven policy years, the Company will return a percentage of the Expense Charge. The Return of Expense Charge amount will be a percentage of the Policy Value Account on the date the surrender Request is received at our Corporate Headquarters. This amount will be in addition to the Surrender Benefit.

The Return of Expense Charge is not available if the policy is surrendered under the terms of Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code.

PAID-UP LIFE INSURANCE PROVISION

If the Insured is living and the policy is in force on the policy anniversary at Attained Age 121, the entire policy value account, less any outstanding loans and loan interest accrued will be applied as a single premium to purchase paid-up insurance. The net single premium rate for the Insured's age and sex is based on the guaranteed minimum interest rate and guaranteed mortality table in the contract. The amount of paid-up insurance may be increased, if necessary, so that the policy continues to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. The policy value account will continue to earn interest and no charges will be deducted. No premium payments will be accepted and no loans can be taken after age 121. The paid-up policy may be surrendered at any time. If it is surrendered within 30 days after a policy anniversary, the Cash Value will not be less than it would have been on that policy anniversary. The policy may not qualify as life insurance after age 121 and may be subject to adverse tax consequences. A tax advisor should be consulted before choosing to continue the policy after age 121 While the Policy is in force and after the first Policy Year anniversary, a written Request may be made to elect to take the Cash Surrender Value from the funds in the Fixed Account and apply it as a single Premium to provide an amount of guaranteed paid-up insurance. This net single Premium will be based on the Mortality Table shown on the policy specifications page and computed with an interest rate of no less than 4%. If this election is made, the Cash Surrender Value of the guaranteed paid-up insurance will be equal to the attained age net single premium on the same basis described above multiplied by the amount of guaranteed paid-up insurance..

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

This policy is intended to constitute life insurance for tax purposes and is designed to meet the requirements of Internal Revenue Code (Code) Sections 101 and 7702, as they existed on the Issue Date. If, in the Company's sole discretion, the Cash Value at any time reaches an amount which could jeopardize this policy's treatment as life insurance for tax purposes, the Company reserves the right to refund the portion of the Premium or Cash Value in excess of the allowable limits.

Page 14

Policy Values, Loan and Nonforfeiture Provisions (continued)

This policymay be purchased as a modified endowment

contract. Distributions from modified endowment contracts are subject to different taxation rules than distributions from a life insurance policy that is not a modified endowment contract.

If the policy is not a modified endowment contract when issued, the payment of excess Premium or a material change in the benefits or terms of the contract as provided in Code Section 7702A will cause the policy to be treated as a new contract and may cause the policy to become a modified endowment contract. It is entirely the Owner's responsibility to monitor Premium payments and material changes to ensure that the contract does not become a modified endowment contract.

Nothing in this policy is to be construed as tax advice, and the Company recommends that the Owner discuss the tax consequences under the policy with a competent tax adviser.

PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PROVISION

The Owner may make a partial withdrawal from the Policy Value Account at any time while the policy is in force. The minimum amount per withdrawal is $500. The maximum amount that may be withdrawn is 90% of the Policy Value Account less the Loan Account Value. Partial withdrawals are allocated among account balances based on the allocations specified in the standing instructions.

There is no administrative fee charged for the first partial withdrawal in any policy year. However, a maximum administrative fee of $25 will be deducted from the Policy Value Account for each additional partial withdrawal made in the same policy year.

The partial withdrawal will be effective on the Transaction Date. The Policy Value Account will be reduced by the withdrawal amount, which will be taken from all the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account on a pro-rata basis.

If the policy is in force under Option 1, Level Death Benefit, then the Death Benefit also will be reduced by the amount of each withdrawal.

Withdrawals may not be repaid directly into the Policy Value Account. Any payments received will be subject to the Additional Premium Payments Provision. A partial withdrawal will not increase the net amount of risk.

POSTPONEMENT

In accordance with state law, if the Company receives a Request for surrender, partial withdrawal, or a loan, the Company may postpone any payment for up to 7 days. For Investment Divisions which are not valued on each business day, the Company may defer until the next Valuation Date:

determination and payment of any surrenders, partial withdrawals or loans;

determination and payment of any death proceeds in excess of the face amount; and

reallocation of the Sub-Account value.

During the postponement period, the Sub-Account Value will continue to be subject to the investment experience (gains or losses) of the Underlying Fund(s) and all applicable charges.

The interest calculated on surrenders, partial withdrawals, or a policy loan shall be calculated from the date that the request in good order is received by the Company and is payable if the funds are not mailed or delivered by the Company within ten working days of receipt. Interest is paid at a settlement rate not less than required by law.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

If the Company cannot value the Investment Divisions due to a national stock exchange closure, with the exception of weekends or holidays, or if trading is restricted due to an existing emergency as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), or as otherwise ordered by the SEC, the Company may postpone all procedures which require valuation of the Investment Divisions until valuation is possible.

HOW VALUES ARE COMPUTED

All guaranteed calculations are based on the Mortality Tables shown on the policy specifications page age nearest birthday. These computations assume that Death Benefits are to be paid at the end of the policy year in which death occurs. Any net single Premium will be computed on the basis of the Insured's Attained Age and Premium class.

A detailed statement of the method of computing the values of this policy has been filed with the Insurance Department of the state in which this policy is delivered. All policy values equal or exceed those required by the law of that state or jurisdiction

Transfer Provisions

TRANSFERS

The Owner may make Transfers by Request but no more frequently than every 30 days. The following provisions apply:

(a)While this policy is in force, the Owner, by Request may Transfer all or a portion of the Sub- Account Value among the Investment Divisions and/or Fixed Account currently offered by the Company.

(b)A Transfer out of the Fixed Account may only be made one time during a 365 day period and is limited to the greater of the maximum of 25% of the balance of the Fixed Account or the amount of the Transfer from the previous 365 day period.

(c)A Transfer will be effective upon the Transaction Date.

(d)There is no administrative charge for the first twelve Transfers made in a calendar year. There is a maximum $10 administrative fee for each subsequent Transfer. All Transfers made on a single Transaction Date will be aggregated to count as only one Transfer toward the twelve free Transfers; however, if a one time rebalancing Transfer also occurs on the Transaction Date it will be counted as a separate and additional Transfer.

(e)A loan and a 1035 exchange will both be considered a Transfer.

(f)There are no minimum transfer requirements.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING

By Request, the Owner may elect Dollar Cost Averaging in order to purchase accumulation units of the Sub-Accounts over a period of time.

The Owner may Request to automatically Transfer a predetermined dollar amount, subject to the Company's minimum, at regular intervals from any one or more designated Sub-Accounts to one or more of the remaining, then available, Sub-Accounts. The unit value will be determined on the dates of the Transfers. The Owner must specify the percentage to be Transferred into each designated Sub-Account. Transfers may be set up on any one of the following frequency periods: monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. The Transfer will be initiated on the Transaction Date one frequency period following the date of the Request. The Company will provide a list of Sub-Accounts eligible for Dollar Cost Averaging which may be modified from time to time. Amounts Transferred through Dollar Cost Averaging are not

counted against the twelve free Transfers allowed in a calendar year.

The Owner may terminate Dollar Cost Averaging at any time by Request.

THE REBALANCER OPTION

By Request, the Owner may elect the Rebalancer Option in order to automatically Transfer among the Sub-Accounts on a periodic basis. This type of automatic Transfer program automatically reallocates the Sub-Account Value to maintain a particular percentage allocation among Sub-Accounts selected by the Owner. The amount allocated to each Sub- Account will increase or decrease at different rates depending on the investment experience of the Sub- Account.

The Owner may Request that rebalancing occur one time only, in which case the Transfer will take place on the Transaction Date of the Request. This Transfer will count as one Transfer towards the twelve free Transfers allowed in a calendar year.

Rebalancing may also be set up on a quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis, in which case the first Transfer will be initiated on the Transaction Date one frequency period following the date of the Request. On the Transaction Date for the specified Request, assets will be automatically reallocated to the selected funds. Rebalancing will continue on the same Transaction Date for subsequent periods. In order to participate in the Rebalancer Option, the entire Sub-Account Value must be included. Transfers set up with these frequencies will not count against the twelve free Transfers allowed in a calendar year.

The Owner must specify the percentage of Sub- Account Value to be allocated to each Investment Division and the frequency of rebalancing. The Owner may terminate the Rebalancer Option at any time by Request. The Rebalancer Option will terminate automatically when this policy is no longer in force.

Participation in the Rebalancer Option and Dollar Cost Averaging at the same time is not allowed. Participation in the Rebalancer Option does not assure a greater profit, nor will it prevent or necessarily alleviate losses in a declining market. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Rebalancer Option at any time.
