DESCRIPTIONS
RIDERS FOR WHICH ADDITIONAL PREMIUM IS DUE TO THE REINSURER:

insured.
Term Rider (base or other insured): Provides additional term coverage.
Deduction Amount Waiver Rider: Waives monthly deduction amount if insured is
disabled.
Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider: Waives monthly deduction amount if insured

Waiver of Specified Amount Rider: Waives specified amount if insured is

Waiver of Premium Rider: Waives premium requirement if insured is disabled.
Cost of Living Adjustment Rider: This rider is available at issue only for
non-substandard issue ages 0 to 60. The rider allows for face amount increases
without underwriting biannually based on the Consumer Price Index with the
maximum amount of this increase being $50,000.
RIDERS THAT ALTER THE POLICY AND FOR WHICH NO ADDITIONAL PREMIUM IS PAID TO THE
REINSURER. IF A POLICY HAS THIS RIDER IT IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE AGREEMENT:
Accidental Death Benefit Rider: Pays an additional death benefit if the death on
the insured is caused by a qualifying accident.
Additional Purchase Option Rider: Provides additional term coverage.
Children's Life Insurance Rider: Provides additional term coverage for a child.
No separate reinsurance benefits are associated with this rider.
Disability Income Rider: Provides a monthly benefit while the insured is totally
and continuously disabled. The disability must continue for a period of time
which exceeds the waiting period before payments begin. Payments will continue
while the insured is totally disabled, but not longer than the indemnity period
selected. Total disability is defined as inability, due to injury occurring or
illness first appearing after the policy date, to engage in any occupation for
wage or profit for which the insured is reasonably qualified by education,
training, or prior experience.
Enhanced No Lapse Guarantee Rider: This rider guarantees that the policy will
not lapse, regardless of investment performance, provided cumulative premiums
paid less indebtedness less withdrawals are greater than or equal to the
cumulative no lapse guarantee premiums. There is a lifetime option and a limited
term option. The limited term option is the lesser of 20 years or to attained
age 80 for issue ages 0 to 70 and the minimum of 10 years or to attained age 90
for issue ages 71 to 85. Also, at the time when the no lapse guarantee
terminates or defaults, the policyholder may be eligible for an additional
amount of time they have this protection, which is based on the then current
account value.

Estate Tax Repeal Benefit Rider: (eff. 11/1/2002 (fac), 12/1/2002 (auto)) This
rider will pay the account value less indebtedness if the Federal Estate Tax Law
is fully repealed by December 31, 2010 and we receive a request for this benefit
amount from the insured.
(eff 5/1/2008) This rider is automatically added to each policy at issue, and
allows for policy surrender without the assessment of surrender charges,
providing the following conditions are met:
- There is no federal estate tax in effect during the year 2011; and
- The surrender request is received during the month of January 2011.
This rider will terminate at the sooner of:
- The termination date of the policy, or
- January 31, 2011.
Level Compensation Endorsement: Surrender charges are not assessed for a full
surrender during the first three policy years. There is no charge for this
rider.
Maturity Date Extension Rider: When the policyholder reaches the maturity date
and has elected this rider, the death benefit is dropped to the account value,
no more monthly deductions are taken, interest is credited, no further premiums
are accepted, policy loans continue to accrue interest, and all other riders are
terminated.
Guaranteed COI Benefit Rider: This rider provides guaranteed cost of insurance
rates for the first 10 policy years. On each policy anniversary, we declare a
cost of insurance rate for a single policy year. This policy year is the policy
year 9 years from the then current policy anniversary. Thus the rider provides
that on any policy anniversary, cost of insurance rates over the next 10 years
will not exceed those provided by the rider. This rider is currently available
in only a few states and on variable life policy forms where the face amount is
at least thirty million dollars.
Accelerated Death Benefit Rider: With this rider, the policyholder can receive
up to 100% of their death benefit discounted with interest if the life
expectancy is 12 months or less.
Specify Monthly Deductions Rider: This rider allows the policyholder to specify
to take monthly deductions out of a particular account in the policy.
Mortality and Expense Risk Rates Rider: This rider guarantees that the mortality
and expense risk rate will be zero for years greater than and equal to 21.
Policy Continuation Rider: This rider is automatically added to the policy at
issue. This rider is intended to prevent the lapse of highly loaned policies.
Foreign Travel Exclusion Rider: The rider is written such that if the insured
dies while traveling to, from, or in a country NOT listed on the List of
Countries and Jurisdictions (Foreign Travel Exclusion Rider Exhibit V), or dies
as a direct or indirect result of an illness or injury sustained during such
travel, the death benefit proceeds will be limited to the policy's account
value, less any outstanding indebtedness.

Conversion Option Rider: During certain policy years prior to the insured's
attained age 70, the policy may be converted, without evidence of insurability,
to any permanent plan of life insurance the Ceding Company then makes available
for conversions of this policy.
Guaranteed Issue Option ("GIO") Rider: This rider allows the policyholder to
increase the face amount of converted Stag Whole Life policies being converted
via the Conversion Option Rider by up to twice their original face amount.
Liquidity Enhancement Rider: This rider shortens the surrender charge period on
Stag Whole Life policies from 9 to 7 years. This rider results in policies'
credited interest rate and commissions being reduced.
Overloan Protection Rider: This rider is automatically added to the policy at
issue. This rider protects a policy from lapsing due to overloan.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) Rider: This rider provides that
at the end of the GMAB Guarantee Period (usually 20 years), the policy account
value will be increased, if necessary, to equal the sum of gross premiums paid
to that date. There is a small monthly charge to the policyholder, and a minimum
cumulative premium requirement to keep the rider in force.
Paid-Up Life Insurance Rider: This rider is similar to GMAB rider with the same
Guarantee Period, a monthly charge, and a cumulative premium requirement. This
rider provides that at the end of the Guarantee Period, policyholder may elect
to change coverage to paid-up life insurance using account value as a 5% Net
Single Premium to determine amount of coverage; however, amount of coverage will
never be lower than the sum of gross premiums paid to that date. Once elected,
premiums are no longer accepted.
