Portfolios of the Fund; or (b) the Company gives the Fund and the Underwriter 45
days written notice of its intention to make such other investment company

telephone, followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income,
dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the Fund's shares. The
Company hereby elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain
distributions as re payable on the Portfolio shares in additional shares of that
Portfolio. The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive
all such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Fund shall

ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts
7.1. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board") will
monitor the Fund for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict
between the interests of the contract owners of all separate accounts investing
in the Fund. An irreconcilable material conflict may arise for a variety of
reasons, including: (a) an action by any state insurance regulatory authority;
(b) a change in applicable federal or state insurance, tax, or securities laws
or regulations, or a public ruling, private letter ruling, no-action or
interpretative letter, or any similar action by insurance, tax, or securities
regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or judicial decision in any
relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the investments of any Portfolio
are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by variable
annuity contract and variable life insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision
by an insurer to disregard the voting instructions of contract owners. The Board
shall promptly inform the Company if it determines that an irreconcilable
material conflict exists and the implications thereof.
7.2. The Company will report any potential or existing
conflicts of which it is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board
in carrying out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order,
by providing the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board
to consider any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an
obligation by the Company to inform the Board whenever contract owner voting
instructions are disregarded.
7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a
majority of its disinterested trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict
exists, the Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their
expense and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of
the disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including: (1),
withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from
the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote
of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of
any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance contract
owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating Insurance
Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected
contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2), establishing a new
registered management investment company or managed separate account.
7.4. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a
decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that
decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the
Company may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the Account's
investment in the Fund and terminate this agreement; provided, however that such
withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the
foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board. Any such withdrawal and termination must
take place within six (6) months after the Fund gives written notice that this
provision is being implemented, and until the end of that six month period the
Underwriter and Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the
Company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares and the Fund.
7.5. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a
particular state insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company
conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then the Company will
withdraw the affected Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this
Agreement within six months after the Board informs the Company in writing that
it has determined that such decision has created an irreconcilable material
conflict; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be
limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict
as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Until the
end of the foregoing six month period, the Underwriter and Funds shall continue
to accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase and redemption)
of shares of the Fund.
7.6. For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this
Agreement, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine
whether any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material
conflict, but in no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding
medium for the Contracts. The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to
establish a new funding medium for the contracts if an offer to do so has been
declined by vote of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected
by the irreconcilable material conflict. In the event that the Board determines
that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material
conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund
and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the
Company in writing of the foregoing determination, provided, however, that such
withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by any such
material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board.
7.7. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are
amended, or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision
of the Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared
funding (as defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and
conditions materially different from those contained in the Shared funding
Exemptive Order, then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies,
as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules
6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such
rules are applicable; and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of
this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that terms and
conditions substantially identical to such Sections are contained in such

result from any material breach of any representation
and/or warranty made by the Underwriter in this Agreement

indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be

gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by
reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties

writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process

its registration as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and registering
the shares of the Portfolios sold to the Separate Accounts under the 1933 Act
for so long as required by applicable law. The Fund shall amend its Registration
Statement filed with the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act from time to

Portfolios. The Fund shall register and qualify the shares for sale in
accordance with the laws of the various states to the extent deemed necessary by
the Fund or the Distributor.
3.2 The Fund shall make every effort to maintain qualification of each
Portfolio as a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code (or
any successor or similar provision) and shall notify the Insurer immediately
upon having a reasonable basis for believing that a Portfolio has ceased to so
qualify or that it might not so qualify in the future.
3.3 The Fund shall make every effort to enable each Portfolio to comply with
the diversification provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code and the regulations
issued thereunder relating to the diversification requirements for variable life
insurance policies and variable annuity contracts and any prospective amendments

notify the Insurer immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that
any Portfolio has ceased to comply.

applicable federal and state law to permit the sale of the Variable Contracts
issued by the Insurer, including registering each Separate Account as an
investment company to the extent required under the 1940 Act, and registering

Contracts to the extent required under the 1933 Act, and obtaining all necessary
approvals to offer the Variable Contracts from state insurance commissioners
3.5 The Insurer shall make every effort to maintain the treatment of the
Variable Contracts issued by the Insurer as annuity contracts or life insurance
policies, whichever is appropriate, under applicable provisions of the code, and
shall notify the Fund and the Distributor immediately upon having a reasonable
basis for believing that such Variable Contracts have ceased to be so treated or
that they might not be so treated in the future.
3.6 The Insurer shall offer and sell the Variable Contracts issued by the
Insurer in accordance with applicable provisions of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act,
the 1940 Act, the NASD Rules of Fair Practice, and state law respecting the

1934 Act, the 1940 Act, the NASD Rules of Fair Practice, and state law.

a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Fund shall consist of persons who are
not "interested persons" of the Fund ("disinterested Trustees"), as defined by
Sections 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, and as modified by
any applicable orders of the SEC, except that if this provision of this Section
3.8 is not met by reason of the death, disqualification, or bona fide
resignation of any Trustee or Trustees, then the operation of this provision
shall be suspended (a) for a period of 45 days if the vacancy or vacancies may
be filled by the fund's Board; (b) for a period of 60 days if a vote of
shareholders is required to fill the vacancy or vacancies; or (c) for such

ARTICLE IV. Potential Conflicts
4.1 During such time as the Fund engages in Mixed Funding or Shared Funding
, the parties hereto shall comply with the conditions in this Article IV.
4.2 The fund's Board of Trustees shall monitor the Fund for the existence of
any material irreconcilable conflict (1) between the interests of owners of
variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, and (2) between
the interests of owners of Variable Contracts ("Variable Contract Owners")
issued by different Participating Life Insurance Companies that invest in the
fund. A material irreconcilable conflict may arise for a variety of reasons,
including; (a) an action by any state insurance regulatory authority; (b) a
change in applicable federal or state insurance, tax, or securities laws or
regulations, or a public ruling, private letter ruling, no-action or
interpretive letter, or any similar action by insurance, tax, or securities
regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or judicial decision in any
relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the investments of any Portfolio of
the Fund are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by
variable annuity and variable life insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision
by a Participating Insurance company to disregard the voting instructions of
Variable Contract Owners.
4.3 The Insurer agrees that it shall report any potential or existing
conflicts of which it is aware to the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Insurer will
be responsible for assisting the Board of Trustees of the Fund in carrying out
its responsibilities under the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order, or, if
the Fund is engaged in Mixed Funding or Shared Funding in reliance on Rule
6e-3(T), or any other regulation under the 1940 Act, the Insurer will be
responsible for assisting the Board of Trustees of the Fund in carrying out its
responsibilities under such regulation, by providing the Board with all
information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised.
This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the Insurer to inform the
Board whenever Variable Contract Owner voting instructions are disregarded. The
Insurer shall carry out its responsibility under this Section 4.3 with a view
only to the interests of the Variable Contract Owners.
4.4 The Insurer agrees that in the event that it is determined by a majority
of the Board of Trustees of the Fund or a majority of the Fund's disinterested
Trustees that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the Insurer shall, at
its expenses and to the extent reasonable practicable (as determined by a
majority of the disinterested Trustees of the Board of the fund), take whatever
steps are necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict,
up to and including: (1) withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the
Separate Accounts from the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in
a different investment medium, including another portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question as to whether such segregation should be implemented to
a vote of all affected Variable Contract Owners and, as appropriate, segregating
the assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners or life
insurance contract owners of contracts issued by one or more Participating
Insurance Companies), that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to
the affected Variable contract Owners the option of making such a change; and
(2) establishing a new registered management investment company or managed
separate account. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of the
Insurer's decision to disregard Variable Contract Owners' voting instructions
and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority
vote, the Insurer shall be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the
Separate Accounts' investment in the Fund, provided, however, that such
withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the
foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested Trustees, and no charge or penalty will be imposed as a result of
such withdrawal. These responsibilities shall be carried out with a view only to
the interests of the Variable Contract Owners. A majority of the disinterested
Trustees of the Fund shall determine whether or not any proposed action
adequately remedies any material irreconcilable conflict, but in no event will
the Fund or its investment adviser or the Distributor be required to establish a
new funding medium for any Variable Contract. The Insurer shall not be required
by this Section 4.4 to establish a new funding medium for any Variable Contract
if any offer to do so has been declined by vote of a majority of Variable
Contract Owners materially adversely affected by the material irreconcilable
conflict.
4.5 The Insurer, at least annually, shall submit to the Fund's Board of
Trustees such reports, materials, or data as the Board reasonably may request so
that the Trustees of the fund may fully carry out the obligations imposed upon
the board by the conditions contained in the application for the Mixed and
Shared Funding Exemptive Order and said reports, materials, and data shall be
submitted more frequently if deemed appropriate by the Board.
4.6 All reports of potential or existing conflicts received by the Fund's
Board of Trustees, and all Board action with regard to determining the existence
of a conflict, notifying Participating Insurance Companies of a conflict, and
determining whether any proposed action adequately remedies a conflict, shall be
properly recorded in the minutes of the Board of Trustees of the Fund or other
appropriate records, and such minutes or other records shall be made available
to the SEC upon request.
4.7 The Board of Trustees of the Fund shall promptly notify the Insurer in
writing of its determination of the existence of an irreconcilable material
conflict and its implications.
ARTICLE V. Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting
5.1 The Insurer shall distribute such prospectuses, proxy statements and
periodic reports of the Fund to the owners of Variable Contracts issued by the
Insurer as required to be distributed to such Variable Contract Owners under
applicable federal or state law. All mailing costs incurred as a result of
Insurer's actions under this Section 5.1 shall be borne by the Insurer.
5.2 The Distributor shall provide the Insurer with as many copies of the
current prospectus of the Fund as the Insurer may reasonably request. If
requested by the Insurer in lieu thereof, the Fund shall provide such
documentation (including a final copy of the Fund's prospectus as set in type or
in camera-ready copy) and other assistance as is reasonable necessary in order
for the Insurer to either print a stand-alone document or print together in one
document the current prospectus for the Variable Contracts issued by the Insurer
and the current prospectus for the Fund, or a document combining the fund
prospectus with prospectuses of other funds in which the Variable Contracts may
be invested. The fund shall bear the expense of printing copies of its current
prospectus that will be distributed to existing Variable Contract Owners. The
Insurer shall bear all mailing expenses, and the Fund or Distributor shall bear
all printing expenses, incurred in connection with actions taken under this
Section 5.2.
5.3 The Fund and the Distributor shall provide, at the Fund's expense,such
copies of the fund's current Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") as may
reasonably be requested, to the Insurer and to any owner of a Variable Contract
issued by the Insurer who requests such SAI.
5.4 The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Insurer with copies of its
proxy materials, periodic reports to shareholders, and other communications to
shareholders in such quantity as the Insurer shall reasonably require for
purposes of distributing to owners of Variable Contracts issued by the Insurer.
The Fund shall provide the Insurer with copies of its periodic reports to
shareholders and other communications to shareholders in such quantity as the
Insurer shall reasonably request for use in connection with offering the
Variable Contracts issued by the Insurer. If requested by the Insurer in lieu
thereof, the Fund shall provide such documentation (including a final copy of
the Fund's proxy materials, periodic reports to shareholders, and other
communications to shareholders, as set in type or in camera-ready copy) and
other assistance as reasonably necessary in order for the Insurer to print such
shareholder communications for distribution to owners of Variable Contracts
issued by the Insurer. The Insurer shall bear all mailing expenses, and the fund
or Distributor shall bear all printing expenses, incurred in connection with
actions taking under this Section 5.4
5.5 For so long as the SEC interprets the 1940 ACT to require pass-through
voting by Participating Insurance Companies whose Separate Accounts are
registered as investment companies under the 1940 ACT, the Insurer shall vote
shares of each Portfolio of the Fund held in a Separate Account or a subaccount
thereof, whether or not registered under the 1940 ACT, at regular and special
meetings of the Fund in accordance with instructions timely received by the
Insurer (or its designated agent) from owners of Variable Contracts funded by
such Separate Account or subaccount thereof having a voting interest in the
Portfolio. The Insurer shall vote shares of a Portfolio of the Fund held in a
Separate Account or a subaccount thereof that are attributable to the Variable
Contracts as to which no timely instructions are received, as well as shares
held in such Separate Account or subaccount thereof that are not attributable to
the Variable Contracts and owned beneficially by the Insurer (resulting from
charges against the Variable Contracts or otherwise), in the same proportion as
the votes cast by owners of Variable Contracts funded by that Separate Account
or subaccount thereof having a voting interest in the Portfolio from whom
instructions have been timely received. The Insurer shall vote shares of each
Portfolio of the Fund held in its general account, if any, in the same
proportion as the votes cast with respect to shares of the Portfolio held in all
Separate Accounts of the Insurer or subaccounts thereof, in the aggregate.
5.6 During such time as the Fund engages in Mixed Funding or Shared Funding,
the Fund shall disclose in its prospectus that (1) the Fund is intended to be a
funding vehicle for variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts
offered by various insurance companies, (2) material irreconcilable conflicts
possibly may arise, and (3) the Board of Trustees of the Fund will monitor
events in order to identify the existence of any material irreconcilable
conflicts and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to
any such conflict. The fund hereby notifies the Insurer that prospectus
disclosure may be appropriate regarding potential risks of offering shares of
the Fund to separate accounts funding both variable annuity contracts and
variable life insurance policies and to separate accounts funding Variable
Contracts of unaffiliated life insurance companies.
ARTICLE VI. Sales Material and Information

respond with comments on the material within 10 days from receipt of the

agents of each shall not give any information or make any representations on
behalf of the Insurer or concerning the Insurer, the Separate Accounts, or the
Variable Contracts issued by the Insurer, other than the information or
representations contained in a registration statement or prospectus for such
Variable Contracts, as such registration statement and prospectus may be amended
or supplemented from time to time, or in reports for the Separate Accounts or
prepared for distribution to owners to such Variable Contracts, or in sales
literature or other promotional material approved by the Insurer or its
designee, except with the permission of the Insurer.
6.5 The Fund will provide to the Insurer at least one complete copy of the

expenses to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise by subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of
Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of the Indemnified Party's reckless
disregard of obligations or duties under this Agreement or to the Insurer or the
Separate Accounts.
7.3(c) The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such party shall have notified the Fund in writing within a reasonable time
after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature
of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such
Party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but
failure to notify the fund of any such claim shall not relieve the Fund from any
liability which it may have to the Indemnified party against whom such action is
brought otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision. In case any
such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Fund will be
entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Fund
also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory
to the party named in the action. After notice from the fund to such party of
the Fund's election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall
bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the
Fund will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
7.3(d) The Insurer shall promptly notify the Fund of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers
or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Variable Contracts
issued by the Insurer or the sale of the Fund's shares.

ARTICLE XI: Miscellaneous
11.1 The Fund and the Insurer agree that if and to the extent Rule 6e-2 or

form, to the extent applicable, the Fund and the Insurer shall each take such
steps as may be necessary to comply with the Rule as amended or adopted in final
form.
11.2 A copy of the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust is on file
with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and notice is hereby
given that any agreements that are executed on behalf of the Fund by any Trustee
or officer of the Fund are executed in his or here capacity as Trustee or
officer and not individually. The obligations of this Agreement shall only be
binding upon the assets and property of the Fund and shall not be binding upon
any Trustee, officer or shareholder of the Fund Individually.
11.3 Nothing in this Agreement shall impede the Fund's Trustees or
shareholders of the shares of the Fund's Portfolios from exercising any of the
rights provided to such Trustees or shareholders in the Fund's Agreement and

Insurer upon request.
11.4 Administrative services to Variable Contract Owners shall be the
responsibility of Insurer. Insurer, on behalf of its separate accounts will be

than multiple shareholders, Distributor agrees to pay to Insurer an amount
computed at an annual rate of.25 of 1% of the average daily net asset value of
shares held in subaccounts for which Insurer provides administration services.
Distributor's payments to Insurer are for administrative services only and do
not constitute payment in any manner for investment advisory services.
11.5 It is understood that the name "Federated" or any derivative thereof
or logo associated with that name is the valuable property of the Distributor
and its affiliates, and that the Insurer has the right to use such name (or
derivative or logo) only so long as this Agreement is in effect. Upon
termination of this Agreement the Insurer shall forthwith cease to use such name
(or derivative or logo).
11.6 The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of
reference only and in no way define or delineate any of the provisions hereof or
otherwise their construction or effect.
11.7 This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more
counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
11.8 If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a
court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of the Agreement shall
not be affected thereby.
11.9 This Agreement may not be assigned by any party to the Agreement
Except with the written consent of the other parties to the Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed as of the day and year first above written.

To the Policyowner:
Please read your policy carefully. This policy is a legal contract between you
and the company. You, the owner, have rights and benefits described in this
policy. We will pay the cash value, if any, to you on the maturity date if the
insured is living on that date. The insured is named below. The beneficiary is
as named in the attached application, unless later changed. We will pay the life
insurance proceeds on this policy when we receive due proof that the insured
died while this policy was in effect.
This is a Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policy. You may
increase or decrease the specified amount. We will allocate net premiums to the
Separate Account named in the policy data pages.
THIS POLICY'S CASH VALUE IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT IS BASED ON THE INVESTMENT
EXPERIENCE OF THAT ACCOUNT, AND MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE DAILY. IT IS NOT
GUARANTEED AS TO DOLLAR AMOUNT. THE AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT OR THE DURATION OF
THE DEATH BENEFIT MAY VARY UNDER THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ON PAGES 6, 9 AND 10.
THE MAXIMUM LOAN VALUE IS NINETY PERCENT OF THE SURRENDER VALUE.
Refund Privilege. You may return this policy to our home office or to our agency
within 10 days after its delivery for a refund. If authorized by state law, the

paid, plus the net premiums allocated to the Separate Account adjusted by
investment gains and losses. Otherwise the amount of the refund will equal the
gross premiums paid.

INTRODUCTION
This is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy. The first premium
payment is due on the policy date. Subsequent premiums may be paid at any time
while this policy is in effect before the maturity date. In return for these
premiums and the insurance application, we provide certain benefits.
The policy provides life insurance proceeds. Proceeds can be paid in a lump sum
or under an Optional Payment Plan.
during the insured's life, the policy has a cash value. This cash value, less
any outstanding policy debt, is in the Separate Account, which is described on
page 10 of this policy. This cash value is the basis for certain benefits you
can use:
* before the insured's death; or
* at maturity
We can provide you with a projection of illustrative future life insurance and
cash value proceeds. To receive the projection, send a written request to our
home office. You must send a $25 service fee with your request. This projection
will assume:
* amounts of insurance;
* coverage options;
* future premium payments you specify; and
* other assumptions specified by you or by us.
The Policy and Its Parts
Policy means this policy with the attached application, any supplemental
applications, and any riders and endorsements. We will not use any statement in
an application to deny a claim unless a copy of such application was attached to
this policy at the time of issue or upon subsequent increases in coverage.
The policy is a legal contract. It is the entire contract between you and us. An
agent cannot change this contract. Any change to it must be in writing and
approved by us. Only our President or one of our Vice-Presidents can give our
approval. READ YOUR POLICY CAREFULLY.
Dates Used in the Policy
The basic policy goes into effect on the policy date. Policy years and
anniversaries are measured from this date.
A change in coverage will go into effect on the monthly anniversary day after
the date we approve the supplemental application. The monthly anniversary day is
shown in the policy data pages.
The maturity date is the date we pay any cash value less outstanding policy
debt, if the insured is living. This date is as shown in the policy data pages
unless later changed. You may request that we pay the cash value in a lump sum,
or under an Optional Payment Plan.
You can change the maturity date. To make a change, send a written request along
with the policy to our home office. We must receive these by the maturity date
then in effect. The requested maturity date must be:
* on a policy anniversary;
* at least one year from the date we receive your request;
* after the 10th policy year; and
* not after the policy anniversary nearest the insured's
95th birthday.
Age
Age on the policy date or on a policy anniversary means the insured's age on his
or her nearest birthday.
Attained age means the insured's age on the policy date plus the number of years
since the policy date.
When This Policy Will Terminate
All coverage under this policy will terminate when:
* you request that coverage terminate and you return this
policy;
* the insured dies;
* this policy matures; or
* the grace period ends without sufficient premium being paid.
Exchange Provision
During the first 24 policy months, you have the right to exchange this policy
for a permanent fixed benefit policy. We will not require evidence of
insurability. If you decide to make an exchange, we will notify you of the
policies available for exchange and the procedures to follow. You may elect to
have the amount of the new policy be either (a) or (b) where:
(a) is the life insurance proceeds on the date of exchange,
and
(b) is the life insurance proceeds minus the cash value on
the date of exchange.
The new policy will have the same policy date, sex, issue age and premium class
as this policy. The new policy will include such riders and incidental benefits
as were included in this policy, if such riders and incidental benefits are
available with the new policy.
The exchange is subject to an equitable adjustment in payments and cash values
to reflect variances, if any, in the payments and cash values under the existing
policy and the new policy.
THE OWNER AND THE BENEFICIARY
The Owner
You have rights in the policy during the insured's lifetime. The policy names
you or someone else as the insured. If you are not the insured, you should name
a contingent owner who will become the owner if you die before the insured. If
you die before the insured and there is no contingent owner, ownership passes to
your estate.
Unless a payment plan is chosen, the proceeds payable on the maturity date or on
surrender will be paid to you in a lump sum.
The Beneficiary
You can name primary and contingent beneficiaries. Your original beneficiary
choice is shown in the attached application.
Unless a payment plan is chosen, the proceeds payable at the insured's death
will be paid in a lump sum to the primary beneficiary. If the primary
beneficiary dies before the insured, the proceeds will be paid to the contingent
beneficiary. If no beneficiary survives the insured, the proceeds will be paid
to you or your estate.
You may name more than one primary or contingent beneficiary. If you do, the
proceeds will be paid in equal shares to the survivors in the appropriate
beneficiary class, unless you have requested otherwise.
Changing the Owner or Beneficiary
During the insured's life, you can change the owner. You can also change the
beneficiary during the insured's life if you reserve this right.
How to Change the Owner or Beneficiary. To make a change, send a written request
to our home office. The request and the change must be in a form satisfactory to
us and must be received by us. The change will take effect as of the date you
sign the request. The change will be subject to any payment we make before we
record the change.
Using the Policy as Collateral for a Loan
This policy can be assigned as collateral security. We must be notified in
writing if you assign the policy. Any payment we make before we record the
assignment at our home office will not be affected. We are not responsible for
the validity of an assignment. Your rights and the rights of a beneficiary may
be affected by an assignment.
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
This policy's first premium is due on the policy date.
Any premium payments after the first premium may be made under a periodic plan
at any time while this policy is in effect.
Periodic Plan. You may request that we send reminders of your planned periodic
premium. You may choose to pay annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. The
minimum premium is $20. We can also arrange for pre-authorized monthly payments
from your bank account or similar facility. The minimum pre-authorized monthly
payment is $15.
You can change the frequency of payments or the amount of a premium by sending a
written request to our home office.
Unscheduled Payments. You can make an unscheduled premium payment at any time
while this policy is in effect if there is no policy debt. Each unscheduled
payment must be at least $250.
Maximum Premiums. There is a table of Maximum Premiums in the policy data pages.
We will not accept that portion of a premium that causes the total of all
premiums paid to date to exceed the maximum premium. We will return that portion
to you.
On any date, Net Total Premium means the total of all premiums paid to that
date, less (a) divided by (b), where;
(a) is any outstanding policy debt, plus the sum of any
partial surrenders to date; and
(b) is the Net Premium Factor.
The Net Premium Factor is shown in the policy data pages.
When and Where to Pay Premiums
Each premium is payable in advance. Pay each premium to our home office.
Allocation of Net Premiums
The net premium is the premium paid, multiplied by the Net Premium Factor shown
in the policy data pages. You may allocate the net premiums to one or more
Investment Subdivisions of the Separate Account. The portion of each net premium
allocated to any particular Investment Subdivision must be at least 10%.
We will initially allocate net premiums to the Money Market Investment
Subdivision. Upon receipt in our home office of a signed Policy Delivery
Receipt, cash value in that Investment Subdivision will be transferred to the
other Investment Subdivisions of the Separate Account in accordance with the net
premium allocation percentages shown in the application. For any premium
received after we receive the signed Policy Delivery Receipt, the net premium
will be allocated in accordance with the net premium allocation percentages
shown in the application. You may change the allocation of later premiums at any
time, without charge, simply by sending written notice to us at our home office.
The allocation will apply to premiums received after we record the change.
The Refund Privilege is described on the policy cover.
Continuation Amount
If, during the first ten policy years, the cash value of this policy, less any
policy debt, becomes less than the surrender charge, this policy will remain in
effect if the Net Total Premium is at least equal to the continuation amount for
the number of months that this policy has been in force. The continuation amount
for each of the first 120 policy months is shown in the policy data pages.
There are not continuation amounts after the 120th policy month.
Grace Period.
During the first ten policy years, if (1) the surrender value on a monthly
anniversary day is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction due on that
monthly anniversary day, and (2) the continuation amount has not been paid, we
will allow a 61-day grace period to pay to premium sufficient to keep the policy
in effect.
On or after the tenth policy anniversary, if the surrender value on a monthly
anniversary day is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction due on that
monthly anniversary day, we will allow a 61-day grace period to pay a premium
sufficient to keep the policy in effect.
If a sufficient premium is not paid by the end of the grace period, this policy
will terminate without value. We will mail you notice of the sufficient premium.
The monthly deduction is described in the Cash Value Benefits section.
Coverage continues during the grace period. If the insured dies during the grace
period, the proceeds will be reduced by any overdue deferred sales charges and
monthly deductions.
How the Policy Can be Reinstated
During the insured's life, this policy can be reinstated if it terminated
because a grace period ended without sufficient premium being paid. Any
reinstatement must be done within 3 years from the end of the grace period.
We will not reinstate this policy if it has been surrendered for payment of its
cash value.
To reinstate, send evidence satisfactory to us that the insured is insurable.
The policy will be reinstated on the date we approve the reinstatement. You will
also have to pay a premium as described below. You may pay a larger amount if
you wish.
Any policy debt which existed at the end of the grace period will be reinstated
if it is not paid.
When this policy is reinstated, you will have to pay an amount which equals (1)
plus (2) minus (3) where:
(1) is the minimum premium to keep the policy in force from
the first day of the grace period to the date of
reinstatement; and
(2) is an amount sufficient to keep this policy in effect for
two months after the date of reinstatement; and
(3) is the sum of the monthly deductions that would have been
made during the period between termination and
reinstatement divided by the Net Premium Factor.
On the date of reinstatement, the cash value will equal(a) plus (b) minus (c)
minus (d), where:
(a) is the cash value on the first day of the grace period;and
(b) is the premium paid to reinstate multiplied by the Net Premium Factor;and
(c) is the sum of any deferred sales charge deductions which would have been
made if the policy had remained continuously in effect; and
(d) is any decrease in the contingent deferred underwriting charge from the
first day of the grace period to the date of reinstatement.
On the date of reinstatement, the cash value less an outstanding policy debt
will be allocated to the Investment Subdivisions of the Separate Account. Unless
you tell us otherwise, that cash value will be allocated to the Investment
Subdivisions in the same manner as net premiums.
If this policy is reinstated, the surrender charge will be as though this policy
had been in effect continuously from its original policy date.
LIFE INSURANCE PROCEEDS
Life insurance proceeds are payable if the insured dies while this policy is in
effect.
How We Determine Proceeds
Proceeds are based on the Specified Amount shown in the policy data pages. There
are two Benefit Options.
Option A. The Specified Amount is in addition to the cash value. Life insurance
proceeds will be based on the larger of:
* the Specified Amount plus the cash value on the date of
death; or
* the cash value on the date of death, multiplied by
the corridor percentage.
Option B. The Specified Amount includes the cash value. Life insurance proceeds
will be based on the larger of:
* the Specified Amount on the date of death; or
* the cash value on the date of death, multiplied by the
corridor percentage.
The corridor percentage depends on the attained age of the insured on the date
of death.
Attained Corridor Attained Corridor Attained Corridor Attained Corridor
Age Percentage Age Percentage Age Percentage Age Percentage
--- ---------- --- ---------- --- ---------- --- ----------
40 or 50 185% 61 128% 72 111%
younger 250% 51 178 62 126 73 109
41 243 52 171 63 124 74 107
42 236 53 164 64 122 75 105
43 229 54 157 65 120 through
44 222 55 150 66 119 90
45 215 56 146 67 118 91 104
46 209 57 142 68 117 92 103
47 203 58 138 69 116 93 102
48 197 59 134 70 115 94 101
49 191 60 130 71 113 95 100
Actual Amount of Proceeds. The actual amount of proceeds will depend on;
* the life insurance proceeds determined as above;
* the use of the cash value during the insured's life;
* any partial surrenders;
* any additional insurance provided by a rider;
* any increase or decrease in existing coverage;
* the insured's suicide during the first two policy years; and
* a misstatement of the insured's age or sex.
Interest on Proceeds. Life insurance proceeds that are paid in one lump sum will
include interest from the date of death to the date of payment. Interest will be
paid at a rate set by us, or by law if greater. Interest will not be paid beyond
one year or any longer time set by law.
Change in Existing Coverage
After the policy has been in effect for one year, you can increase or decrease
the Specified Amount. To make a change, send a written request along with the
policy to our home office.
Decrease in Specified Amount. Any decrease will become effective on the monthly
anniversary day after the date we receive the request. The decrease will first
apply to coverage provided by the most recent increase, then to the next most
recent increases successively, then to the coverage under the original
application.
During the first five policy years, we can limit the amount of any decrease. The
Specified Amount can never by less than the Minimum Specified Amount shown on
the policy pages. We will not permit a decrease if the charge for a full
surrender is greater than the cash value, less any outstanding policy debt.
Increase in Specified Amount. You must; apply for an increase on a supplemental
application. You will have to submit evidence satisfactory to us that the
insured is insurable. Any approved increase will become effective on the date
shown in the supplemental policy data page, provided that there is sufficient
cash value to cover the deduction of the first month's cost of increased
insurance.
Change in Benefit Options
If Option A is in effect, you can request that it be changed to Option B. The
Specified Amount after the change will equal the sum of (1) plus (2), where;
(1) is the Specified Amount immediately prior to the change; and
(2) is the cash value immediately prior to the change.
If Option B is in effect, you can request that it be changed to Option A. This
will decrease the Specified Amount by the amount of cash value on the date your
request becomes effective. A change in benefit options will become effective on
the monthly anniversary day after the date we receive your request in our home
office.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account named in the policy data pages will be used to support the
operation of this policy and certain other variable life insurance policies we
may subsequently offer. We will not allocate assets to the Separate Account to
support the operation of any contracts or policies that re not variable life
insurance.
We own the assets in the Separate Account. However, these assets are not part of
our general account. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from
assets allocated to the Separate Account will be credited to or charged against
the account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.
The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Separate Account is also subject to laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia which
regulate the operations of insurance companies incorporated in Virginia. The
investment policy of the Separate Account will not be changed without the
approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The
approval process is on file with the Insurance Commissioner of the state in
which this policy was delivered.
The Separate Account is divided into Investment Subdivisions. The Investment
Subdivisions are named in the policy data pages. We reserve the right to remove
any Investment Subdivisions of the Separate Account, or to add new Investment
Subdivisions. Each Investment Subdivision in the Separate Account will invest in
shares of a designated portfolio of Life of Virginia Series Fund, Inc., a series
type of mutual fund. You determine the percentage of net premiums which will be
allocated to each Investment Subdivision.
The policyowner will share only in the income, gains and losses of the
Investment Subdivisions to which his net premium payment have been allocated.
That portion of the assets of the Separate Account which equals the reserves and
other policy liabilities of the policies which are supported by the Separate
Account will not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business we
conduct. We have the right to transfer to our general account any assets of the
Separate Account which are in excess of such reserves and other policy
liabilities.
We also have the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to make
additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the shares of a mutual fund
portfolio that re held by the Separate Account or that the Account may purchase.
We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of an eligible portfolio of Life of
Virginia Series Fund, Inc. and to substitute shares of another portfolio of Life
of Virginia Series fund, Inc. or another mutual fund portfolio, if the shares of
the portfolio are no longer available for investments, or if in our judgement
further investment in the portfolio should become inappropriate in view of the
purposes of the Separate Account. In the event of any
substitution or change, we may, by appropriate endorsement, make such changes in
this and other policies as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the
substitution or change.
We also reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account, which we
determine to be associated with the class of policies to which this policy
belongs to another separate account. If this type of transfer is made, the term
"the Separate Account", as used in this policy, shall then mean the separate
account to which the assets were transferred.
When permitted by law, we also reserve the right to:
(a) deregister the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(b) manage the Separate Account under the direction of a committee;
(c) restrict or eliminate any voting rights of policyowners, or other persons
who have voting rights as to the Separate Account; and
(d) combine the Separate Account with other separate accounts.
We will value the assets of the Separate Account each business day.
If you object to a material change in the investment policy of the Separate
Account or any Investment Subdivision, you have the right to exchange this
policy for a fixed benefit policy. No evidence of insurability will be required.
We will notify you of the options available, and the procedures to follow if you
decide to make an exchange. You must make an exchange within sixty days after
the change in investment policy becomes effective. There will always by one
policy available for exchange.
Unit Value
Each Investment Subdivisions has a Unit Value. When premiums or other amounts
are transferred into an Investment Subdivision, a number of Units are purchased
based on the subdivision's Unit Value as of the end of the valuation period
during which the transfer is made. Likewise, when amounts are transferred out of
an Investment Subdivision, Units are redeemed in a similar manner.
For each Investment subdivision, the Unit Value for the first valuation period
was $10.00. The Unit Value for each subsequent period is the Net Investment
Factor for the period, multiplied by the Unit Value for the immediately
preceding period. The Unit Value for a valuation period applies to each day in
the period.
Each valuation period includes a business day and any non-business day or
consecutive non-business days immediately following it. Assets are valued at the
close of the business day. A business day is any day the New york Stock Exchange
is open for trading, or any day in which here is a material change in the value
of the assets in the Separate Account.
Each Investment Subdivision has its own Net Investment Factor. In the following
definition, "assets" refers to the assets in each Investment Subdivisions. "Any
amount charged against the Separate Account" refers to those amounts that are
allocated to each Investment Subdivision.
The Net Investment Factory for a valuation period is (a) divided by (b), minus
(c), where: (a) is (1) the value of the assets at the end of the preceding
valuation period, plus (2) the investment income and capital gains, realized or
unrealized, credited to those assets at the end of the valuation period for
which the net investment factor is being determined, minus (3) the capital
losses, realized or unrealized, charged against those assets during the
valuation period, minus (4) any amount charged against the Separate Account for
taxes, or any amount we set aside during the valuation period as a provision for
taxes attributable to the operation or maintenance of the Separate Account; and
(b) is the value of the assets at the end of the preceding valuation period; and
(c) is a charge no greater than .0019246% for each day in the valuation period.
This corresponds to .70% per year for mortality and expense risks.
We will value the assets in the Separate Account at their fair market value in
accordance with accepted accounting practices and applicable laws and
regulations.
Transfers
You may transfer amounts among the Investment Subdivisions of the Separate
Account by sending a written request to us at our home office. The transfer will
be effective as of the end of the valuation period during which we receive your
request at our home office. You cannot make more than twelve transfers each
calendar year. The first transfer in each calendar year will be made without a
transfer charge. Thereafter, each time amounts are transferred a transfer charge
will be imposed. This transfer charge is shown in the policy data pages. When we
make transfers, the cash value on the date of the transfer will not be affected
by the transfer except to the extent of the transfer charge. The transfer charge
will be taken from the amount transferred.
CASH VALUE BENEFITS
How We Determine Cash Value
The cash value of the policy is equal to (1) the cash value allocated to the
Investment Subdivisions of the Separate Account, plus (2) the cash value held to
secure policy debt.
On the later of the policy date or the date the first premium is received, the
cash value in each Investment Subdivision is the portion of the net premium
which has been paid and allocated to that Investment subdivision, less the
portion of the first monthly deduction allocated to the cash value in that
Investment Subdivision.
At the end of each valuation period after such date, the cash value allocated to
each Investment Subdivision of the Separate Account is (1) plus (2) plus (3)
minus (4) minus (5), where:
(1) is the cash value allocated to the Investment
Subdivision at the end of the preceding
valuation period, multiplied by the Investment Subdivision's Net Investment
Factor for the current period:
(2) is net premium payments received during the current valuation period and
which are allocated to the Investment Subdivision:
(3) is any other amounts transferred into the Investment Subdivision during the
current valuation period:
(4) is any partial surrenders made from the Investment Subdivision during the
current valuation period:
(5) is cash value transferred out of the Investment Subdivision during the
current valuation period.
In addition, whenever a valuation period includes the monthly anniversary
day,the cash value at the end of such period is reduced by the monthly deduction
allocated to the cash value in the Investment Subdivision for that monthly
anniversary day. If the valuation period includes the first monthly anniversary
day in policy years two through ten, the cash value at the end of such period is
also reduced by 1/9 of the Deferred Sales Charge allocated to the cash value in
the Investment Subdivision.
Deferred Sales Charge
At the beginning of each of policy years two through ten, 1/9 of the Deferred
Sales Charge is deducted from the cash value allocated to the Separate Account.
The Deferred Sales Charge is shown in the policy data pages.
The deferred sales charge deduction will be allocated among the Investment
Subdivisions of the Separate Account in the same manner that monthly deductions
are being allocated.
Monthly Deduction
The monthly deduction is a charge made each policy month against the cash value
allocated to the Separate Account. It is determined by adding the cost of
insurance, the cost of additional benefits provided by rider, and the Monthly
Administrative Charge. The monthly deduction for the month when an increase in
the Specified Amount becomes effective will include the increase Charge per
$1000 for each $1000 of increase.
The Initial Monthly Administrative Charge is shown in the policy data pages. We
can charge a higher amount in the future, but it will never exceed two times the
initial amount.
The Increase Charge per $1000 is shown in the policy data pages.
The monthly deduction for a policy month will be allocated among the Investment
Subdivisions of the Separate Account in the same proportion that the policy's
cash value in each Investment Subdivision bears to the total cash value in all
Investment subdivisions at the beginning of the policy month. Other allocation
methods may be available upon request.
Cost of Insurance
The cost of insurance is calculated on each monthly anniversary day. First, we
divide the life insurance proceeds by 1.0032737, and then subtract the cash
value. We divide the result by 1000 and multiply that result by the applicable
Cost of Insurance Rate or rates. If Option B is in effect, and the Specified
Amount has increased, the cash value is first considered part of the initial
Specified Amount. If the cash value is more than the Initial Specified Amount,
it will be considered part of the increased Specified Amounts resulting form
increases in the order of the increases.
Cost of Insurance Rate. The monthly rate is based on the insured's sex, attained
age, policy duration and risk class. The risk class (and therefore the rates
will be determined separately for the initial Specified Amount and for any
increase in the Specified Amount that requires evidence of insurability. The
rates are determined by us according to our expectations of future experience.
We can change the rates from time to time, but they will never be more than the
maximum rates shown in the Table of Guaranteed Maximum insurance Rages. A change
in rates will apply to all persons of the same age, sex and risk class and whose
policies have been in effect for the same length of time.
Insufficient Cash Value
On a monthly anniversary day, if the cash value less the surrender charge and
less any policy debt is not enough to cover the monthly deduction for that
monthly anniversary day, the Grace Period provision will apply.
Continuation of Coverage
If periodic premium payments are not made as planned, this policy and any riders
will remain in effect as long as the cash value less the surrender charge and
less any policy debt covers the monthly deduction. But in any case, the policy
will not continue beyond the maturity date and a rider will not continue beyond
its termination date.
Surrender
You can make a full or partial surrender of this policy by sending a written
request and the policy to our home office. a surrender must take place:
* during the insured's life; and
* before the maturity date.
Amount Payable on Surrender. The amount payable on surrender of this policy is
the cash value on the date we receive your request for surrender in our home
office less any policy debt and less any surrender charge that applies. The
amount payable is the Surrender Value.
Surrender Charge. The amount of surrender charge will be the sum of the
contingent deferred issue charge and the uncollected deferred sales charge. The
contingent deferred issue charge is (a) time (b) where:
(a) is the initial contingent deferred issue charge shown in
the policy data pages; and
(b) is 1 during the first five policy years, and decreases by
.2 at the beginning of each policy years six through ten.
During the first two policy years, the uncollected deferred sales charge
assessed as a surrender charge will never exceed (a) minus (b) where:
(a) is the maximum sales load allowed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission in the event of surrender in the first
two policy years; and
(b) is the total of sales charges preciously deducted from
premiums and cash values.
There will be no surrender charge during the tenth and later policy years.
At surrender, the total of charges will never be greater than the cash value,
less any outstanding policy debt.
Partial Surrender. You can make a partial surrender of this policy. A partial
surrender cannot be less than $500. A partial surrender cannot exceed the lesser
of:
* the surrender value, less $500; or
* the available loan amount.
We generally will reduce both the cash value and the life insurance proceeds by
the amount of any partial surrender. We will not permit a partial surrender if
it would reduce the Specified Amount to less than the minimum shown in the
policy data pages. A partial surrender will not be permitted during the first
policy year if the Specified Amount includes the cash value.
You may tell us how to allocate the partial surrender among the Investment
Subdivisions of the Separate Account. If you do not, the partial surrender will
be allocated among each Investment Subdivision in the same proportion that the
policy's cash value in each Investment Subdivision bears to the total cash value
in all Investment Subdivisions on the date we receive the request in our home
office.
We will deduct a charge from the amount of each partial surrender. This charge
will equal the lesser of (i) $25, or (ii) 2% of the amount of the partial
surrender.
Receiving the Surrender Value
The surrender value is payable in one lump sum or under an Optional Payment
Plan.
Postponement of Payments
We will usually pay any amounts payable as a result of surrender, partial
surrenders or policy loans within seven days after we receive written request in
our home office, in a form satisfactory to us. We will usually pay any life
insurance proceeds within seven days after we receive due proof of death.
Payment of any amount payable on surrender, partial surrender, policy loan or
life insurance proceeds may be postponed whenever:
* the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customer
week-end and holiday closings, or trading on the New York
Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities
and Exchange commission; or
* the Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits
postponement for the protection of policyowners; or
* an emergency exits, as determined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, as a result of which disposal of
securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not
reasonably practicable to determine the value of the net
assets of the Separate Account.
We have the right to defer payment which is derived from any amount recently
paid to us by check or draft, until we are satisfied the check or draft has been
paid by the bank on which it is drawn.
LOAN BENEFITS
This policy has loan benefits that are described below. The amount of
outstanding loans plus accrued interest is called policy debt. Any outstanding
policy debt will be deducted from proceeds payable at the insured's death, on
maturity, or on surrender.
Making a Policy Loan
After the first policy anniversary, you may obtain a policy loan from us. This
policy is the only security required. The maximum loan amount is 90% of the
surrender value on the date of the loan. The available loan amount is the
maximum loan amount less any outstanding policy debt.
The maximum interest rate on policy loans is shown in the policy data pages.
Subject to this maximum, we can change the interest rate. We cannot increase the
rate more than once each year nor more than 1% each year. We will send notice of
any change to you and any assignee of record at our home office. We will send
notice at least 40 days before we increase the rate on any existing policy
loans.
Interest accrues daily. It is due and payable on each policy anniversary. Any
interest not paid when due becomes part of the policy loan and bears interest.
When a policy loan is made, an amount of cash value sufficient to secure the
loan is transferred out of the Separate Account and into out general account.
You may tell us how to allocate that cash value among the Investment
Subdivisions of the Separate Account. If you do not, that cash value will be
allocated among each Investment Subdivision in the same proportion that the
policy's cash value in each Investment Subdivision bears to the total cash value
in all Investment Subdivisions on the date we make the loan. An amount of cash
value equal to any loan interest we also be so transferred if the interest is
not paid when due.
Cash value in the general account will earn interest daily at an annual rate of
4%. On each monthly anniversary day, the interest earned since the preceding
monthly anniversary day will be transferred into the Separate Account. Unless
you tell us otherwise, this interest will be allocated to the Investment
subdivisions in the same manner as net premiums.
If the policy debt exceeds the cash value less any applicable surrender
charges,you must pay the excess. We will send you a notice or the amount you
must pay. If you do not pay this amount within 61 days after we send notice, the
policy will terminate without value. We will send the notice to you and to any
assignee at our home office.
Any loan transaction will permanently affect the values of this policy.
Repaying Policy Debt
You can repay policy debt in part or in full any time during the insured's life
while this policy is in effect. When a loan repayment is made, cash value in the
general account related to that payment will be transferred into the Separate
Account. You may tell us how to allocate this cash value among each Investment
Subdivision of the Separate Account. If you do not, we will allocate that amount
among the Investment Subdivisions in the same proportion that net premiums are
being allocate.
OPTIONAL PAYMENT PLANS
Life insurance proceeds, cash value at surrender or benefits at maturity will be
paid in one lump sum. Subject to the rules stated below, any part of the
proceeds can be left with us and paid under a payment plan. any amount left with
us will be transferred to our general account. During the insured's life, you
can choose a plan. A beneficiary can choose a plan if you have not chosen one at
the insured's death.
There are several important payment plan rules:
* The payee under a plan cannot be a corporation, association
or fiduciary.
* If you change a beneficiary, your plan selection will no
longer be in effect unless you request that it continue.
* A choice or change of a plan must be sent in writing to our
home office.
* The proceeds applied under a plan must be at least $10,000.
* The amount of each payment under a plan must be at least
$50.
* Payments under Plans 1, 2, 3 or 5 will begin on the date of
the insured's death, on surrender,or on the policy's
maturity date. Payments under Plan 4 will begin at the end
of the first interest period after the date proceeds are
otherwise payable.
Plan 1. Income for a Fixed Period. We will make equal periodic payments for a
fixed period, not longer than 30 years. Payments can be annual, semi-annual,
quarterly or monthly. Payments will be made according to the table below.
Guaranteed amounts payable under this plan will earn interest at 3% compounded
yearly. We may increase the interest and the amount of any payment. If the payee
dies, the amount of the remaining guaranteed payments will be discounted to the
date of the payee's death at a yearly rate of 3%. Discounted means we will
deduct the amount of interest each remaining payment would have earned had it
not been paid out early. The discounted amount will be paid in one sum to the
payee's estate unless otherwise provided.

minimum period. If the payee lives longer than the minimum period, payments will
continue for this or her life. The minimum period can be 10, 15 or 20 years.

this plan will earn interest at 3% compounded yearly. We may increase the
interest rate and the amount of any payment. If the payee dies before the end of

Plan 3. Income of a Definite Amount. We will make equal periodic payments of a
definite amount. Payments can be annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly. The
amount paid each year must be at least $120 for each $1,000 of proceeds.
Payments will continue until the proceeds are exhausted. The last payment will
equal the amount of any unpaid proceeds. Unpaid proceeds will earn interest at
3% compounded yearly. We may increase the interest rate. If we do, the payment
period will be extended. If the payee dies, the amount of the remaining proceeds
with earned interest will be paid in one sum to his or her estate unless
otherwise provided.
Plan 4. Interest Income. We will make periodic payments of interest earned from
the proceeds left with us. Payments can be annual, semi-annual, quarterly or
monthly, and will begin at the end of the first period chosen. Proceeds left
under this plan will earn interest at 3% compounded yearly. We may increase the
interest rate and the amount of any payment. If the payee dies, the amount of
remaining proceeds and any earned but unpaid interest will be paid in one sum to
his or her estate unless otherwise provided.
Plan 5. Joint Life and Survivor Income. We will make equal monthly payments to
two payees for a guaranteed minimum of 10 years. Each payee must be at lease 35
years old when payments begin. The guaranteed amount payable under this plan
will earn interest at 3% compounded yearly. We may increase the interest rate
and the amount of any payment. Payments will continue as long as either payee is
living. If both payees die before the end of the minimum period, the amount of
the remaining payments for the 10 year period will be discounted at a yearly
rate of 3%. The discounted amount will be paid in one sum to the survivor's
estate unless otherwise provided.

Plan 6. Single Premium Endowment at Age 95. You may surrender this policy at any
time during the insured's life and request in writing to apply the surrender
value to purchase a Single Premium Endowment at Age 95 Policy on the life of the
insured.
The maximum policy amount you can purchase without evidence of insurability is:
* the life insurance proceeds under this policy on the date of surrender, less
* the cash value on the date of surrender, plus
* the amount applied as the premium for the new policy.
An additional amount can be purchased if we receive evidence satisfactory to us
that the insured is insurable. The most that can be applied as the premium for
the new policy is this policy's surrender value.
The policy date of the new policy will be the date coverage under this policy
ends. The single premium will be based on our rates then in effect. The single
premium for a standard risk class will not be more than that shown in the Table
of Guaranteed Single Premium Rates. These guaranteed single premiums are based
on the Commissioners' 1980 Standard Ordinary Smoker and Nonsmoker Mortality
Table with interest at 4% compounded yearly.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Limits on Contesting This Policy
We rely on statements in the application for this policy. In the absence of
fraud, they are considered representations and not warranties. We can contest
this policy or an increase in Specified Amount if:
* any material misrepresentation of fact was made in the
application or in a supplemental application; and
* a copy of that application was attached to this policy
when issued or was made a part of the policy when a
change in coverage went into effect.
With respect to the original Specified Amount, we will not contest this policy
after it has been in effect during the insured's life for two years from the
policy date. With respect to increases in the Specified Amount, we will not
contest an increase in the Specified Amount after that increase has been in
effect during the insured's life for two years from the effective date of the
increase. This provision does not apply to riders that provide disability
benefits.
Misstatement of Age or Sex
If the insured's age or sex was misstated in an application, life insurance
proceeds and benefits will be adjusted. The adjusted life insurance proceeds
will be the sum of (a) and (b), where:
* a is the cash value; and
* is the life insurance proceeds, reduced by the cash value,
and multiplied by the ratio of (1) the monthly cost of
insurance actually applied, to (2) the monthly cost of
insurance that should have been applied at the insured's
true age or sex.
All amounts are those in effect, with respect to the insured, in the policy
month of the insured's death.
Suicide
If the insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the
policy date, we will limit the proceeds. The limited amount will equal all
premiums paid on the policy less outstanding policy debt and partial surrenders.
If the insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years after an
increase in the Specified Amount was effective, we will limit the proceeds
payable with respect to the increase.
The proceeds thus limited will equal the total monthly deductions made with
respect to the increase plus the Increase Charge per $1000 applicable to that
increase.
Annual Statement
Within 30 days after each policy anniversary, we will send you an annual
statement. The statement will show the amount of life insurance proceeds payable
under the policy, the cash value, the surrender value, and policy debt as of the
policy anniversary. The statement will also show premiums paid and charges made
during the policy year.
Nonparticipating
This policy does not participate in our divisible surplus. No dividends are
payable.
Written Notice
Any written notice to us should be sent to our home office at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000. Please include the policy number and the
insured's full name.
Any notice we send to you will be sent to your address shown in the application.
You should request an address change form if you move.
Calculation of Values
Our calculations of cost of insurance rates are based on the Commissioners' 1980
Standard Ordinary smoker and Nonsmoker Mortality Table.
If the Net Investment Factor is always equivalent to an effective annual
interest rate of 4%, the cash values in this policy will always at least equal
the cash values required of an equivalent general account policy by the law
where this policy was delivered. A detailed statement of how we calculate the
values in this policy has been filed with the insurance department where this
policy was delivered.
ENDORSEMENT
The policy is hereby amended by items 1, 2, 3, and 4 listed in this endorsement.
1. The Allocation of Net Premiums provision of the policy is deleted and
replaced by the following:
Allocation of Net Premiums
The net premium is the premium paid, multiplied by the Net Premium Factor
shown in the policy data pages. You may allocate the net premiums to one or
more Investment Subdivisions of the Separate Account. The portion of each
net premium allocated to any particular Investment Subdivision must be at
least 10%.
We will initially allocate net premiums to the LOV Money Market Investment
Subdivision. Upon receipt at our home office of a form satisfactory to us,
signed by the policyowner, indicating that the policyowner has received and
accepted the policy, the cash value in that Investment Subdivision will be
transferred to the other Investment Subdivisions of the Separate Account in
accordance with the net premium allocation percentages. For any premium
received after we receive the signed form, the net premium will be allocated
in accordance with the written instructions of the policyowner. You may
change the allocation of later premiums at any time, without charge, simply
by sending written notice to us at our home office. The allocation will
apply to premiums received after we record the change. The Refund Privilege
is described on the policy cover.
2. The SEPARATE ACCOUNT section of the policy is amended as follows.
The following paragraph is deleted:
The Separate Account is divided into Investment Subdivisions. The Investment
Subdivisions are named in the policy data pages. We reserve the right to
remove any Investment Subdivision of the Separate Account, or to add new
Investment Subdivision. Each Investment Subdivision in the Separate Account
will invest in shares of a designated portfolio of Life of Virginia Series
Fund, Inc., a series type of mutual fund. You determine the percentage of
net premiums which will be allocated to each Investment Subdivision.
The above deleted paragraph is replaced by the following paragraph:
The Separate Account is divided into Investment Subdivisions. The Investment
Subdivisions are named in the policy data pages. We reserve the right to
remove any Investment Subdivision of the Separate Account, or to add new
Investment Subdivisions. Each Investment Subdivision in the Separate Account
will invest in shares of a mutual fund, or of a portfolio of a series type
of mutual fund named in the data pages. You determine the percentage of net
premiums which will be allocated to each Investment Subdivision.
3. The SEPARATE ACCOUNT section of the policy is also amended as follows.
The following paragraph is deleted:
We also have the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to make
additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the shares of a mutual
fund portfolio that are held by the Separate Account or that the Account may
purchase. We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of an eligible
portfolio of Life of Virginia Series Fund, Inc. and to substitute shares of
another portfolio of Life of Virginia Series fund, Inc. or another mutual
fund portfolio, if the shares of the portfolio are no longer available for
investments, or if in our judgement further investment in the portfolio
should become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Separate Account.
In the event of any substitution or change, we may, by appropriate
endorsement, make such changes in this and other policies as may be
necessary or appropriate to reflect the substitution or change.
The above deleted paragraph is replaced by the following paragraph:
We also have the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to make
additions to, deletions from , or substitutions for the shares of a mutual
fund portfolio that are held by the Separate Account or that the Account may
purchase. We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any portfolio
named in the data pages and to substitute shares of another portfolio, if
the shares of the portfolio are not longer available for investments, or if
in our judgement further investment in the portfolio should become
inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Separate Account. In the event
of any substitution or change, we may, by appropriate endorsement, make such
changes in this and any other policies as may be necessary or appropriate to
reflect the substitution or change.
4. The SEPARATE ACCOUNT section of the policy is also amended as follows.
The provision, Transfers is deleted and replaced with the following:
Transfers
You may transfers amounts among the Investment Subdivisions of the Separate
Account by sending a written request to our home office. However, we reserve
the right to refuse to execute any transfer if any of the Investment
Subdivisions that would be affected by the transfer are unable to purchase
or redeem shares of the mutual fund in which the Investment Subdivision
invests.
The transfer will be effective as of the end of the valuation period during
which we receive your request at our home office. You can not make more than
twelve transfers each calendar year. The first transfer in each calendar
year will be made without a transfer charge. Thereafter, each time amounts
are transferred, a transfer charge will be imposed. This transfer charge is
shown in the policy data pages. When we make transfers, the cash value on
the date of the transfer will not be affected by the transfer except to the
extent of the transfer charge. The transfer charge will be taken from the
amount transferred.
