Accidental Death Benefit Rider: Pays an additional death benefit if the death on
the insured is caused by a qualifying accident.
Accelerated Benefit Rider: Provides the policyholder up to 100% of the death
benefit, discounted with interest, if the insured's life expectancy is 12 months

in Schedule B, and the Reinsurer shall be liable for such Reinsured Net Amount
at Risk upon the death of the insured.
LifeAccess Accelerated Benefit Rider (LAABR): Provides for monthly benefits (up
to 2% of death benefit) if insured meets certain ADL and home-care requirements.
In accordance with Schedule B, during and after acceleration, the Ceding Company

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) Rider: Provides, at the end of
the GMAB Guarantee Period (usually 20 years), that the policy Account Value will

date. There is a small monthly charge and a minimum cumulative premium
requirement to keep the rider in force.
Paid-Up Life Insurance Rider: Similar to the GMAB rider, with the same Guarantee
Period, a monthly charge, and a cumulative premium requirement. At end of the
Guarantee Period, the owner may elect to change coverage to paid-up life using
the Account Value as a 5% NSP to determine the amount of coverage; however, the
amount of coverage will never be lower than the sum of gross premiums paid to
that date. Once elected, premiums are no longer payable.

foreign countries, or due directly or indirectly to illness or injury sustained

Estate Tax Repeal Benefit Rider: Pays the policy Account Value less indebtedness
if the Federal Estate Tax Law is fully repealed by December 31, 2010, and the
Ceding Company receives a request for this benefit amount from the policy owner.
Modified Surrender Value Rider: Changes the Cash Surrender Value definition (to
equal the Account Value) if the policy is surrendered within 3 years after the
policy issue date.
Cash Surrender Value Endorsement: Provides for enhanced Cash Surrender Value
(equal to the current Account Value) in the event of policy surrender in the
first 4 policy years, unless the policy is exchanged under Section 1035 to
another company's policy.
Automatic Premium Payment Rider: Provides for any Scheduled Premium due and
unpaid by the end of any Policy Grace Period to be paid by an automatic
deduction from the Account Value, if the Account Value exceeds the Guaranteed
Cash Value.
Additional Premium Rider: Allows additional premium amounts to be paid at the
same payment intervals as scheduled premiums.

Settlement Option to be used for the payment of Death Proceeds.

policy issue. The minimum monthly benefit is $1,000.

benefit) when the insured reaches age 90 and meets the rider's eligibility
requirements. Includes a residual death benefit of 10% of the death benefit
prior to withdrawals. In accordance with Schedule B, during and after
withdrawals, the Ceding Company shall continue to pay the Reinsurer Reinsurance
Premiums on the Reinsured Net Amount at Risk based on the Death Benefit prior to
withdrawals, and the Reinsurer shall be liable for such Reinsured Net Amount at

RIDERS THAT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS THAT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REINSURANCE:
Accidental Death Benefit Rider: Pays an additional death benefit if the death on
the insured is caused by a qualifying accident.
Accelerated Benefit Rider: Provides the policyholder up to 100% of the death
benefit, discounted with interest, if the insured's life expectancy is 12 months
or less. After acceleration, the Ceding Company shall continue to pay the
Reinsurer Reinsurance Premiums on the Reinsured Net Amount at Risk as described
in Schedule B, and the Reinsurer shall be liable for such Reinsured Net Amount
at Risk upon the death of the insured.
LifeAccess Accelerated Benefit Rider (LAABR): Provides for monthly benefits (up
to 2% of death benefit) if insured meets certain ADL and home-care requirements.
In accordance with Schedule B, during and after acceleration, the Ceding Company
shall continue to pay the Reinsurer Reinsurance Premiums on the Reinsured Net
Amount at Risk based on the Death Benefit prior to acceleration, and the
Reinsurer shall be liable for such Reinsured Net Amount at Risk upon the death
of the insured.
Policy Continuation Rider: Intended to prevent the lapse of highly loaned
policies.
Policy Protection Rider: Protects the death benefit of the base policy and any
primary insured term rider from lapse as long as the Policy Protection Account
Value ("shadow account") is not negative.
Enhanced No Lapse Guarantee Rider: Provides that the policy will not lapse as
long as cumulative premiums paid less indebtedness less withdrawals are greater
than or equal to the cumulative no lapse guarantee premiums. Length of guarantee
varies by issue age.
Lifetime No Lapse Guarantee Rider: Same as Enhanced No Lapse Guarantee Rider but
with lifetime guarantee.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) Rider: Provides, at the end of
the GMAB Guarantee Period (usually 20 years), that 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 and a minimum cumulative premium
requirement to keep the rider in force.
Paid-Up Life Insurance Rider: Similar to the GMAB rider, with the same Guarantee
Period, a monthly charge, and a cumulative premium requirement. At end of the
Guarantee Period, the owner may elect to change coverage to paid-up life using
the Account Value as a 5% NSP to determine the amount of coverage; however, the
amount of coverage will never be lower than the sum of gross premiums paid to
that date. Once elected, premiums are no longer payable.
Conversion Option Rider: During certain policy years and 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.
Overloan Protection Rider: Protects a policy from terminating due to overloan.
Waiver of Specified Amount (WSA) Rider: Waives a specified amount monthly while

less indebtedness) if the insured dies due to travel to, from, or within certain
foreign countries, or due directly or indirectly to illness or injury sustained
during such travel.
Estate Tax Repeal Benefit Rider: Pays the policy Account Value less indebtedness
if the Federal Estate Tax Law is fully repealed by December 31, 2010, and the
Ceding Company receives a request for this benefit amount from the policy owner.
Modified Surrender Value Rider: Changes the Cash Surrender Value definition (to
equal the Account Value) if the policy is surrendered within 3 years after the
policy issue date.
Cash Surrender Value Endorsement: Provides for enhanced Cash Surrender Value
(equal to the current Account Value) in the event of policy surrender in the
first 4 policy years, unless the policy is exchanged under Section 1035 to
another company's policy.
Automatic Premium Payment Rider: Provides for any Scheduled Premium due and
unpaid by the end of any Policy Grace Period to be paid by an automatic
deduction from the Account Value, if the Account Value exceeds the Guaranteed
Cash Value.
Additional Premium Rider: Allows additional premium amounts to be paid at the
same payment intervals as scheduled premiums.

details the policy owner's reporting responsibilities to the Ceding Company, and

by a Qualified Plan.
Owner Designated Settlement Option Rider: Allows the policy owner to designate a
Settlement Option to be used for the payment of Death Proceeds.

primary insured on the life insurance policy to which it is attached. The amount
of monthly benefit is permanently set at rider issue and is limited to a
24-month benefit period. The maximum monthly benefit amount is $5,000; it is
further limited to 2% of the initial face amount or 30% of monthly income at
policy issue. The minimum monthly benefit is $1,000.

when the insured reaches age 90 and meets the rider's eligibility requirements.
