EXHIBIT 27(d)(6)
Business Continuation Agreement
================================================================================
This agreement is a part of the policy to which it is attached and is subject to
all its terms and conditions.
What does this agreement provide?
This agreement gives you the right to increase the face amount of this policy,
without evidence of insurability, at the death of the designated life.
Who is the designated life?
The designated life is the person named as such in the application for this
agreement. The designated life may not be changed.
When may this right be exercised?
At the death of the designated life, you may exercise the right to increase the
face amount of this policy within the ninety days immediately following the
designated life's death. This ninety day period is the Option Period.
What will be the amount of the face amount increase?
The maximum face amount increase is shown on page 1. The maximum face amount
increase will decrease each year according to the schedule on page 1.
How do you exercise this right?
You must notify us in writing that you are exercising your right to increase the
face amount of this policy. You must also send us:
(1) proof satisfactory to us of the designated life's death; and
(2) a completed application for a face amount increase; and
(3) the first premium due for the increased policy.
We must receive these requirements in our home office within the Option Period.
When will an increase in the face amount be effective?
If you exercise your right to increase the face amount of this policy, the
increase will be effective at the end of the Option Period.
How will we increase the face amount?
When we receive your written request to increase the face amount, along with the
premium for the increase, we will adjust this policy.
The adjustment will be subject to all the provisions of the Policy Adjustments
section of this policy.
What will the premium be for the increase in the face amount?
It will be based on the age of the insured at the time of exercise, the plan of
insurance selected and the same premium classification applicable to the insured
at the time this policy is issued or at the time this agreement is added,
whichever is later.
What if the insured dies within the Option Period?
If the insured dies during the Option Period but not simultaneously with the
designated life, we will pay the maximum face amount increase to the beneficiary
of this policy.
What if the insured and the designated life die simultaneously?
If the insured and the designated life die at the same time or under
circumstances in which the order of death cannot be determined, we will pay
one-half of the maximum face amount increase to the beneficiary of this policy.
Is there a suicide limitation?
If, within two years of the effective date of this agreement, the insured or the
designated life dies by suicide, whether sane or insane, our liability under
this agreement will be limited to the return of the additional premiums paid for
this agreement, and this agreement will then automatically terminate.
When does the increase in the face amount become incontestable?
The contestable period for the increase will be measured from the effective date
of this agreement.
When is this agreement incontestable?
If this agreement is issued on the same date as this policy, it will be subject
to the incontestability provision in this policy. If this agreement is issued at
a date later than the policy, then this agreement will be contestable for two
years from the effective date of this agreement, but only as to the evidence of
insurability which we required to issue this agreement at the later date.
What if the face amount of this policy decreases before the death of the
designated life?
If the face amount of this policy decreases, we reserve the right to decrease
the maximum face amount increase and the premium for this agreement
proportionately.
