GENERAL POLICY PROVISIONS

ENTIRE CONTRACT: The entire contract consists of this policy, the Policy Data
Page, any attached Riders or endorsements, and the attached copy of any written
application, including any written supplemental applications. No agent,
registered representative, or other person may change this policy or waive any
of its provisions. Any agreement, including but not limited to maturity
extension, to alter this policy must be in writing, signed by our president or
secretary and attached to or endorsed on your policy. We will not be bound by
any promise or representations made by any agent or other persons.

APPLICATION: All statements made in an application are considered
representations and not warranties. In issuing this policy, we have relied on
the statements made in any application to be true and complete. No such
statement will be used to void the policy or to deny a claim unless that
statement is a material misrepresentation.

INCONTESTABILITY: We will not contest payment of the Proceeds upon the Insured's
death based on the initial Specified Amount after this policy has been in force
during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date. For any
increase in Specified Amount requiring evidence of insurability, we will not
contest payment of the Proceeds based on such an increase after it has been
inforce during the Insured's lifetime for two years from its effective date of
the increase.

SUICIDE: If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years
from the Policy Date, we will not pay the Proceeds normally payable on the
Insured's death. Instead, we will pay the Beneficiary an amount equal to all
premiums paid prior to the Insured's death, less any Indebtedness, and less any
partial surrenders. For any increase in Specified Amount requiring evidence of
insurability, if the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two
years from the effective date of any such increase, we will not pay the Proceeds
associated with such an increase. Instead, our liability with respect to such an
increase will be limited to its cost of insurance charges.

INTERAL REVENUE CODE LIFE INSURANCE QUALIFICATION TEST: At time of policy issue,
you must choose either the Guideline Premium or Cash Value Accumulation Test.
You cannot change the test once we issue the policy. The two tests are defined
in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code and are used to define the Minimum
Required Death Benefit and premium limitations.

ERROR IN AGE OR SEX: If the age or sex of the Insured has been misstated, the
death benefit and Cash Value will be adjusted. The adjusted death benefit will
be (1) multiplied by (2) and then the result added to (3) where:

1. is the Net Amount at Risk at the time of the Insured's death;

2. is the ratio of the monthly cost of insurance applied in the policy
month of death and the monthly cost of insurance that should have been
applied at the true age and sex in the policy month of death; and

3. is the Cash Value at the time of the Insured's death.

The Cash Value will be adjusted to reflect the cost of insurance charges based
on the correct age and sex from the Policy Date.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF COVERAGE: The effective date of coverage of any person insured
under your policy is as follows:

1. the Policy Date is the effective date for all coverage provided in the
original application;

2. for any increase or addition to coverage, the effective date will be
the monthly anniversary, from the Policy Date, on or next following
the date we approve the supplemental application; and

3. for any insurance that has been reinstated, the effective date will be
the monthly anniversary, from the Policy Date, on or next following
the date we approve your request for reinstatement.

TERMINATION: All coverage under your policy will terminate when any one of the
following events occurs:

1. you request in writing that the coverage terminates;

2. the Insured dies;

3. the policy matures;

4. the grace period ends; or

5. you surrender the policy for its Cash Surrender Value.

ANNUAL REPORT: We will send you a report at least once a year which shows the
current Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, amount of insurance, premiums paid,
minimum monthly premiums, all charges since the last report and outstanding
policy Indebtedness. The report will also include any other information required
by laws and regulations, both federal and state. We will mail this report to you
at your address in the application or another address you specify.

ILLUSTRATION OF BENEFITS AND VALUES: We will provide a projection of
illustrative future benefits and values under this policy at any time. Your
written request and payment of a service fee set by us at the time of the
request will be required.

NONPARTICIPATION: This is a nonparticipating policy on which no dividends are
payable. Your policy will not share in our profits or surplus earnings.

CURRENCY: Any money we pay, or that is paid to us, must be denominated in United
States currency.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEE AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION: For your protection, a written
request for a surrender, a partial surrender, policy loan, or a change in
ownership must be signed. We may require the signature to be guaranteed by a
member firm of the New York, American, Boston, Midwest, Philadelphia, or Pacific
Stock Exchanges, or by a commercial bank or a savings and loans, which is a
member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In some cases, we may
require additional documentation of a customary nature.

OWNER, BENEFICIARY AND ASSIGNMENT PROVISIONS

OWNER: While the Insured is living, all rights in your policy belong to you.
OWNERSHIP AT YOUR DEATH: You may name a Contingent Owner who will become the
Owner of the policy if you die before the Insured. If there is no Contingent
Owner at the time of your death and you predecease the Insured, your estate will
become the Owner of the policy.

DESIGNATING AND CHANGING OWNERSHIP: You may name a Contingent Owner or a new
Owner at any time while the Insured is living. If a new Owner is named, any
earlier designation of Owner(s) or Contingent Owner(s) is automatically revoked.
Any change must be in a written form satisfactory to us and recorded at our Home
Office. Once recorded, the change will take effect as of the date you signed it.
The change will not affect any payment made or any action we take before it was
recorded. We may require that you send us your policy for endorsement before
making a change.

BENEFICIARY: The Beneficiary is the person(s) who is entitled to receive the
Proceeds upon the death of the Insured. The Contingent Beneficiary is the
person(s) entitled to receive the Proceeds if no Beneficiary is alive at the
time of the death of the Insured.

DESIGNATING AND CHANGING THE BENEFICIARY AND THE CONTINGENT BENEFICIARY: You may
designate on the application one or more Beneficiary(ies), and one or more
Contingent Beneficiaries. While the Insured is alive, you may change any
Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary designation. Any change must be in a
written form satisfactory to us. We must receive the change at our Home Office.
We may require that we receive the policy for endorsement before we record the
change. Once we record the change, the change will be effective as of the date
it was signed; provided, however, that we will not be liable to any person for
any action or payment we make prior to recording the change.

PAYMENTS TO THE BENEFICIARY: We will pay the Proceeds, upon the Insured's death,
to the Beneficiary(ies) that survives the Insured. If no Beneficiary survives
the Insured, the Contingent Beneficiary(ies) becomes the Beneficiary(ies) and
will be paid the Proceeds. If no Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary survives
the Insured, we will deem you (or your estate) to be the Beneficiary and pay you
(or your estate) the death benefit Proceeds.

If there are multiple payees of the Proceeds, we will pay them on a pro-rata
basis, unless you instruct us prior to the Insured's death to pay them on some
other basis.

ASSIGNMENT: While the Insured is living, you may assign any or all rights under
your policy. We will not be bound by any assignment unless it is in a written
form acceptable to us and is recorded at our Home Office. An assignment will not
affect any payments made or actions taken by us before we record it. The
assignment will be subject to any Indebtedness owed to us before it was
recorded. The interest of any Beneficiary will be subject to the rights of any
assignee of record at our Home Office. We will not be responsible for the
sufficiency or validity of any assignment.

PREMIUM PROVISIONS

PREMIUM PAYMENTS: The Initial Premium is due on the Policy Date. It will be
credited on the Initial Investment Date. Any due and unpaid monthly deductions
will be subtracted from the Cash Value at this time. Insurance will not be
effective until the Initial Premium is paid. The Initial Premium is shown on the
Policy Data Page.

Premiums other than the Initial Premium may be paid at any time while your
policy is in force subject to the limits described below. Planned premium
payment reminder notices will be furnished upon request. You may pay the Initial
Premium to us at our Home Office or to an authorized agent. All premiums after
the first are payable at our Home Office. Premium receipts will be furnished
upon request.

LIMITS: Each premium payment must be at least $50. Additional premium payments
may be made at any time while your policy is in force. However, we reserve the
right to require satisfactory evidence of insurability before accepting any
additional premium payment which results in any increase in the Net Amount at
Risk. Also, we will refund any portion of any premium payment which is
determined to be in excess of the premium limit established by law to qualify
your policy as a contract for life insurance. We may also require that any
existing policy Indebtedness is repaid prior to accepting any additional premium
payments.

LAPSE PROVISIONS

LAPSE: Your policy will remain in force so long as the Cash Surrender Value, on
the monthly anniversary from the Policy Date, is sufficient to cover the
deduction for charges. Otherwise, your policy will lapse, subject to the
Guaranteed Policy Continuation Provision and a grace period. When your policy
lapses, insurance coverage and any Riders you have selected will have no value.

GUARANTEED POLICY CONTINUATION PROVISION: During the guaranteed policy
continuation period, your policy will not lapse while the sum of all your
premium payments (including the Initial Premium), minus any Indebtedness and
partial surrenders, is greater than or equal to the sum of the "Policy
Continuation Premiums" (as shown on the Policy Data Page) due through the most
recent monthly anniversary from the Policy Date. This amount may vary by policy
duration, and it may be affected by any changes to your policy.

GRACE PERIOD: Before the end of a grace period, your policy will not lapse if
you pay the greater of enough premium to cover four times the current monthly
deduction for charges or enough premium to maintain the Guaranteed Policy
Continuation Provision, if applicable. We will pay the Proceeds upon the
Insured's death during a grace period, so long as your policy has been in force
during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date. Also, you may
surrender your policy for its Cash Surrender Value during a grace period. We
will send you a notice at the start of a grace period. From the date on which
the notice is postmarked, the grace period will last for 61 days.

REINSTATEMENT: Within three years of the end of a grace period (and before the
Maturity Date), you may request to reinstate your policy that has lapsed. You
must submit your request in writing. We may require you to provide further
evidence of insurability that is satisfactory to us. You will need to pay enough
premium to cover the monthly deductions for charges while your policy was within
a grace period, and to cover three times the current monthly deduction for
charges from the date we reinstate your policy. That date will be on the next
monthly anniversary from the Policy Date after which we approved your request
for reinstatement. For your policy to be reinstated, you will also either need
to repay any Indebtedness, or have it reinstated. Upon reinstatement, the Cash
Value of your policy, before any premium payments or loan repayments, will be
set equal to the lesser of the Cash Value at the end of the grace period, or the
surrender charge for the year from the Policy Date in which we reinstate your
policy.

DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS

DEATH BENEFIT: If the Insured dies while the policy is in force prior to the
Maturity Date, your policy will provide a death benefit. The death benefit will
be determined in accordance with one of the following options, whichever is in
effect on the date of the Insured's death, subject to the Minimum Required Death
Benefit. The current option in effect is shown on the Policy Data Page.

OPTION 1: The death benefit will be the Specified Amount on the date of death;
OPTION 2: The death benefit will be the Specified Amount plus the Cash Value on
the date of death;

OPTION 3: The death benefit will be the Specified Amount plus the accumulated
premium account on the date of death.

The accumulated premium account is all premium payments accumulated to the date
of death less any partial surrenders accumulated to the date of death. The
accumulations will be calculated based on the Option 3 interest rate shown on
the Policy Data Page. In no event will the accumulated premium account be less
than zero or greater than the Option 3 maximum increase shown on the Policy Data
Page.

For any death benefit option, the calculation of the Minimum Required Death
Benefit is shown on the Policy Data Page.

DEATH PROCEEDS: The actual amount of money payable to the Beneficiary if the
Insured dies while your policy is in force prior to the Maturity Date equals:

1. the death benefit provided by your policy; plus

2. any insurance on the Insured's life that may be provided by Riders;
minus

3. any Indebtedness; minus

4. any due and unpaid monthly deductions accruing during the grace
period.

We will pay these Proceeds to the Beneficiary after we receive at our Home
Office proof of death satisfactory to us and such other information as we may
reasonably require. Such Proceeds will be adjusted under certain conditions.
Refer to the Incontestability, Suicide, and Error in Age or Sex Provisions.

MATURITY DATE EXTENSION: If the Insured is alive on the original Maturity Date
of the policy, you may extend the Maturity Date. Unless you elect otherwise, the
Maturity Date will be extended until the date the Insured dies and the following
will apply:

1. No premium payments will be allowed after the original Maturity Date.

2. Increases to the Specified Amount will not be permitted after the
original Maturity Date.

3. Death Benefit Option changes will not be permitted after the original
Maturity Date.

4. On the original Maturity Date, 100% of the Cash Value in the
Subaccounts will be transferred to the Fixed Account, which is funded
by the General Account of the Company, and transfers out of the Fixed
Account will not be permitted.

5. No further monthly deductions will be taken after the original
Maturity Date. The cost of insurance charges will be zero after the
original Maturity Date.

6. The Specified Amount for Maturity Date Extension will be equal to the
Specified Amount at the Insured's Attained Age 85, less items (a) and
(b) where:

(a) is any decrease to the Specified Amount after the Insured's
Attained Age 85; and

(b) is an adjustment for partial surrenders taken after Insured's
Attained Age 85. The amount of the adjustment varies based on the
Death Benefit Option and the Insured's Attained Age, and is
defined within the chart below:

INSURED'S ATTAINED AGE
86-90 91 AND OLDER
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 1 Amount by which the Amount proportionate to
base policy Specified the ratio of the surrender
Amount is reduced due to the contract value prior
to the surrender. to the surrender.

DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 2 OR 3 0 0

DEATH BENEFIT OPTION CHANGES: After the first policy year, you may change the
death benefit option under your policy from Option 1 to Option 2, Option 2 to
Option 1, Option 3 to Option 1 or Option 3 to Option 2. We will adjust the
Specified Amount such that the Net Amount at Risk remains constant before and
after the death benefit option change. The effective date of change will be the
monthly anniversary from the Policy Date on or next following the date we
approve the request for change.

Only one change of option is permitted in a policy year. We will refuse a death
benefit option change which would reduce the Specified Amount to a level where
the total premiums already paid exceeds the premium limit, if any, established
by law to qualify your policy as a contract for life insurance. In order for a
death benefit option change to become effective, the Cash Surrender Value, after
the change, must be sufficient to keep the policy in force for at least three
months.

SPECIFIED AMOUNT INCREASES: At any time after the first year from the Policy
Date, you may request an increase in Specified Amount. Your request must be in
writing to our Home Office on our official forms. Any increase shall be subject
to the following conditions:

1. you must provide evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;

2. the increase must be for a minimum of $10,000;

3. the Cash Surrender Value is sufficient to keep this policy in force
with the new Specified Amount for at least three months; and

4. age limits are the same as for a new issue.

An approved increase will have an effective date of the monthly anniversary from
the Policy Date on or next following the date we approve the supplemental
application unless you request a different date. We reserve the right to limit
the number of increases in Specified Amount to one each year from the Policy
Date.

SPECIFIED AMOUNT DECREASES: At any time after the first year from the Policy
Date, you may request a decrease in the Specified Amount. Any decrease will be
effective on the monthly anniversary from the Policy Date, on or next following
our receipt of your request unless you request a different date. Any such
decrease shall reduce insurance in the following order:

1. against insurance provided by the most recent increase;

2. against the next most recent increases successively; and

3. against insurance provided under the original application.

We reserve the right to limit the number of decreases in the Specified Amount to
one each year from the Policy Date. We will refuse a request for a decrease
which would:

1. reduce the Specified Amount below the Minimum Specified Amount; or

2. disqualify this policy as a contract for life insurance.

NONFORFEITURE PROVISIONS

CASH VALUE: The Cash Value of your policy is the sum of the Cash Value in each
Subaccount, the Fixed Accounts, and the Policy Loan Account. The Cash Value in
each Subaccount on the Initial Investment Date is equal to the portion of the
Net Premium allocated to the Subaccount minus a pro-rata monthly deduction for
the month following the Policy Date.

The Cash Value in each Subaccount on each subsequent Valuation Period is equal
to (1) plus (2) plus (3) minus (4) minus (5) minus (6), where:

(1) is the Cash Value in the Subaccount on the preceding Valuation Period
multiplied by its net investment factor for the current Valuation
Period;

(2) is any Net Premiums or other amounts allocated to the Subaccount
during the current Valuation Period;

(3) is any amounts transferred to the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period;

(4) is any amounts transferred from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period;

(5) is the portion of any monthly deductions which are due and charged to
the Subaccount during the current Valuation Period; and

(6) is any Partial Surrender Amount allocated to the Subaccount during the
current Valuation Period.

The Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account is zero, unless you take a policy
loan. If you take a policy loan, then the Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account
on the loan date is equal to the amount of the loan. The loan amount is
transferred from a Variable Account in proportion to the Cash Value in each
Subaccount on the date of the loan. Loan amounts will be transferred from the
Fixed Accounts only when insufficient amounts are available in the Variable
Account. Then, loan amounts will be transferred from the Fixed Accounts based on
each Fixed Account's transfer restriction level. Loan amounts will be
transferred from Fixed Accounts with a lower percentage transfer restriction
level only when insufficient amounts are available in Fixed Accounts with a
higher percentage transfer restriction level. Fixed Account transfer restriction
levels are stated on the Policy Data Page.

The Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account on each subsequent Valuation Period is
equal to (1) plus (2) plus (3) minus (4) minus (5) where:

(1) is the Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account on the preceding
Valuation Period;

(2) is any interest credited during the current Valuation Period;

(3) is any amounts transferred to the Policy Loan Account because of
additional policy loans and any due and unpaid loan interest during
the current Valuation Period;

(4) is the amount of any loan repayments you make during the current
Valuation Period; and

(5) is any amount of interest transferred from the Policy Loan Account to
the Variable Account or a Fixed Account during the current Valuation
Period.

THE CASH VALUE IN A FIXED ACCOUNT IS ZERO UNLESS SOME OR ALL OF THE CASH VALUE
IS ALLOCATED TO A FIXED ACCOUNT. THE CASH VALUE IN A FIXED ACCOUNT ON THE
INITIAL INVESTMENT DATE IS EQUAL TO THE PORTION OF THE NET PREMIUM ALLOCATED TO
THE

PARTICULAR FIXED ACCOUNT MINUS A PRO-RATA MONTHLY DEDUCTION FOR THE MONTH
FOLLOWING THE POLICY DATE. THE CASH VALUE IN A FIXED ACCOUNT ON EACH SUBSEQUENT
VALUATION DAY IS EQUAL TO:

1. the Cash Value in this Fixed Account on the preceding Valuation Day;
plus

2. any interest credited during the current Valuation Period; plus

3. any Net Premiums or other amounts allocated to this Fixed Account
during the current Valuation Period; minus

4. any amounts transferred from this Fixed Account during the current
Valuation Period; minus

5. the portion of any monthly deductions which are due and charged to
this Fixed Account during the current Valuation Period; minus

6. any Partial Surrender Amounts allocated to this Fixed Account during
the current Valuation Period.

MONTHLY DEDUCTION: The monthly deduction for each month from the Policy Date,
shall be calculated as:

1. the Mortality and Expense Risk Charges. The mortality and expense
charges are shown on the Policy Data Page; plus

2. the monthly expense charges. These charges will not exceed the Maximum
Monthly Policy Expense Charges shown on the Policy Data Page; plus

3. the monthly cost of any additional benefits provided by any Riders;
plus

4. the monthly cost of insurance.

The monthly deductions other than the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge will be
charged proportionately to the Cash Values in each Subaccount and each Fixed
Account, unless otherwise elected. If one Variable Account holds interests in
another, monthly deductions will be charged in only one. The Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge will be charged proportionately to the Cash Values in each
Subaccount only, unless otherwise elected.

MONTHLY COST OF INSURANCE: A deduction will be made on the Policy Date, and each
monthly anniversary from the Policy Date, for the monthly cost of insurance.
This monthly deduction will be charged proportionately to the Cash Values in
each Subaccount and the Fixed Accounts, unless otherwise elected. If one
Variable Account holds interests in another, monthly cost of insurance will be
charged in only one. The monthly cost of insurance for each policy month is
determined by multiplying the monthly cost of insurance rate by the Net Amount
at Risk. The monthly cost of insurance rate is described under the Cost of
Insurance Rates Provision.

If there have been increases in the Specified Amount, then the Cash Value shall
be first considered a part of the initial Specified Amount. If the Cash Value
exceeds the initial Specified Amount, it shall then be considered a part of the
increases in Specified Amount in the order of the increases.

COST OF INSURANCE RATES: A separate monthly cost of insurance rate is used to
obtain the monthly cost of insurance for the Insured's initial Specified Amount
and each increase in Specified Amount. Each rate is based on the Insured's Issue
Age, sex, underwriting class, and any substandard rating at the time the initial
Specified Amount was issued, or increase took effect, and on the duration since
that time.

Monthly cost of insurance rates will be determined by us from time to time,
based on our expectations as to future experience. Any change in cost of
insurance rates will be on a uniform basis for Insureds of the same Issue Age,
sex, underwriting class, and any substandard rating whose policies have been in
force for the same length of time. These rates will never be greater than the
Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates shown on the Policy Data
Page. The basis for these Guaranteed Maximum Cost of Insurance Rates is shown in
the Basis of Computation on the Policy Data Page.

INTEREST CREDITING: Any Cash Value allocated to the Policy Loan Account will be
credited interest daily. The guaranteed minimum annual effective rate is shown
on the Policy Data Page. Interest in excess of the minimum guaranteed rate may
be credited.

Any Cash Value allocated to the Fixed Accounts will be credited interest daily.
The guaranteed minimum annual effective rate for each Fixed Account is shown on
the Policy Data Page. Interest in excess of the minimum guaranteed rate may be
credited. Each Fixed Accounts may credit a different rate. The current interest
rate in effect at the time of transfer to the Fixed Accounts will be guaranteed
through the end of the calendar quarter. Thereafter, any excess interest rates
will be guaranteed for the following three months. Where required, we have filed
our method for determining current interest rates with the Insurance Department
of the state in which this policy was delivered.

MINIMUM LEGAL VALUES: The cash surrender, loan and other values in your policy
are at least as large as those set by law in the state where it is delivered.
Where required, we have given the insurance regulator a detailed statement of
how we compute values and benefits.

CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE: If the premium payments are not made, insurance
coverage under this policy and any benefits provided by any Rider will be
continued in force. Such coverage will be continued as provided in the Grace
Period Provision. This provision will neither continue the policy beyond the
Maturity Date, nor continue any Rider beyond the date for its termination, as
provided in the Rider.

SURRENDER CHARGE: When this policy lapses or is surrendered, a surrender charge
is deducted from the Cash Value. Surrender charges are calculated separately for
the initial Specified Amount and each increase in Specified Amount. The amount
and duration of the surrender charges for each segment of coverage are shown in
the Table of Surrender Charges on the Policy Data Page.

COMPLETE SURRENDER: Your policy may be surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value
at any time while it is in force. You must submit a written request on a form
acceptable to us. We may also require the return of your policy. The date of
surrender will be the date we receive your written request at our Home Office.
The Cash Surrender Value will be determined as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which your request is received. All coverage will end on the date
of surrender.

PARTIAL SURRENDER: A partial surrender may be made at any time while this policy
is in force. You must submit a written request. We may also require that this
policy be sent to us. We reserve the right to limit the number of partial
surrenders in a policy year to one a year from the Policy Date. In addition, a
partial surrender will be allowed only if after the partial surrender, this
policy continues to qualify as a contract for life insurance. We reserve the
right to deduct a fee from the Partial Surrender Amount you requested. The
maximum fee is shown on the Policy Data Page.

When a partial surrender is made, we will reduce the Cash Value by the Partial
Surrender Amount.

We will also reduce the Specified Amount by the amount necessary to prevent an
increase in the Net Amount at Risk. However, the reduction to the Specified
Amount will not be greater than the Partial Surrender Amount.

Any such decrease to the Specified Amount as a result of an ordinary partial
surrender will reduce insurance in the following order:

1. against the insurance provided by the most recent increase;

2. against the next most recent increase successively; and

3. against the insurance under the original application.

We will allocate partial surrenders first among the Subaccounts in proportion to
the Cash Value in each Subaccount as of the partial surrender date, unless
otherwise elected. Partial surrenders will be transferred from the Fixed
Accounts only when insufficient amounts are available in the Variable
Subaccounts. Then, partial surrenders will be transferred from the Fixed
Accounts based on each Fixed Account's transfer restriction level. Partial
surrenders will be transferred from the Fixed Accounts with a lower percentage
transfer restriction level only when insufficient amounts are available in the
Fixed Accounts with a higher percentage transfer restriction level. Fixed
Account transfer restrictions are stated on the Policy Data Page. A partial
surrender is subject to the following conditions:

1. the minimum partial surrender is $200;

2. during each of the first ten years from the Policy Date, the sum of
all partial surrenders in a policy year cannot exceed 10% of the Cash
Surrender Value as of the beginning of that year.

3. after the completion of ten years from the Policy Date, the maximum
amount of a partial surrender is the Cash Surrender Value less the
greater of $500 or three monthly deductions;

4. a partial surrender may not reduce the Specified Amount below the
Minimum Specified Amount;

5. a partial surrender will not be permitted if it violates the
definition of life insurance under section 7702 of the Internal
Revenue Code; and

6. Nationwide reserves the right to defer payment for a period permitted
by law, but not more than six months from the date of the written
partial surrender request.

CHANGES IN POLICY COST FACTORS: Changes in cost of insurance rates, credited
interest rates or other policy expense charges will be by class and will be
based on changes in future expectations for factors such as:

1. investment earnings;

2. mortality;

3. persistency;

4. expenses; and

5. taxes.

Any changes will be determined in accordance with the procedures on file, if
required, with the insurance regulator in the state in which this policy was
delivered.

LOAN PROVISIONS

POLICY LOAN: You may request a loan at any time while your policy is in force.
All loans must be requested in writing on a form acceptable to us. The loan date
is the date we process the loan.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LOAN VALUE: A loan may not increase Indebtedness to exceed
the maximum loan value as of the date of any loan. The maximum loan value is (1)
plus (2) plus (3) minus (4) on the loan date, where:

1. is 90% of the Cash Value in the Variable Accounts;

2. is 100% of the Cash Value in the Fixed Accounts;

3. is 100% of the Cash Value in the Policy Loan Account; and

4. is 100% of the surrender charge.

The minimum loan amount is $200.

LOAN COLLATERAL AND CREDITED INTEREST: You must assign your policy to us as
collateral for a loan. We will establish a Policy Loan Account equal to the
amount of the loan. We will credit the Policy Loan Account with interest daily
at the rate shown on the Policy Data Page.

LOAN INTEREST ON INDEBTEDNESS: The loan interest rate is shown on the Policy
Data Page. Interest is charged daily against Indebtedness and is payable at the
end of each year from the Policy Date. Unpaid interest will be added to the
existing Indebtedness as of the due date and will be charged interest at the
same rate as the rest of the loan.

LOAN REPAYMENT: All or part of a loan may be repaid to us at any time while your
policy is in force during the Insured's lifetime. The minimum repayment is $50.
Any payment intended as a loan repayment, rather than a premium payment, must be
identified as such. Any Indebtedness that exists at the end of the grace period
may not be repaid unless this policy is reinstated.

EFFECT OF LOAN: When you take a loan, we will transfer an amount equal to the
policy loan from a Subaccount or a Fixed Account to the Policy Loan Account. Any
loan interest that becomes due and unpaid will also be transferred. Amounts
transferred to the Policy Loan Account will earn interest daily from the date of
transfer. When you repay part or all of a loan, we will transfer an amount equal
to the amount you repay from the Policy Loan Account to a Subaccount or a Fixed
Account. We reserve the right to require that any loan repayments resulting from
loans transferred from a Fixed Account must be allocated to the corresponding
Fixed Account.

Unless you specify otherwise, we will allocate loans among the Subaccounts in
proportion to the Cash Value in each Subaccount as of the loan date. Loan
amounts will be transferred from a Fixed Account only when insufficient amounts
are available in the Subaccounts. Then, loans will be transferred from the Fixed
Accounts based on each Fixed Account's transfer restriction level. Loan amounts
will be transferred from Fixed Accounts with a lower percentage transfer
restriction level only when insufficient amounts are available in Fixed Accounts
with a higher percentage transfer restriction level. Fixed Account transfer
restriction levels are stated on the Policy Data Page. Any loan interest which
becomes due and is unpaid will be transferred to the Policy Loan Account in
proportion to the Cash Values in each Subaccount. Unless specified, loan
repayments will be allocated among the Subaccounts using the Fund allocation
factors in effect on the date of the repayment, subject to any other
restrictions the Company may impose.

Since the amount you borrow is removed from a Subaccount or a Fixed Account, a
loan will have a permanent effect on any death benefit and Cash Surrender Value
of this policy. The effect may be favorable or unfavorable. This is true whether
you repay the loan or not. If not repaid, Indebtedness will reduce the amount of
any Proceeds.

TERMINATION OF POLICY: If the total Indebtedness ever equals or exceeds the Cash
Value less the surrender charge, your policy may lapse, as described in the
Lapse Provisions.

EXCHANGE OF POLICY PROVISIONS

RIGHT OF EXCHANGE: Within 24 months from the Policy Date, you may exchange this
policy for a new policy on the life of the Insured. We will not require evidence
of insurability for this exchange. A new policy means the policy for which this
policy may be exchanged.

CONDITIONS: Your right to make this exchange is subject to the following
conditions:

1. You must ask for the exchange in writing to our Home Office on our
official forms.

2. You must surrender this policy to us.

3. We must have your written request and this policy at our Home Office
while this policy is in force and not in a grace period.

4. You must pay us any money due on the exchange.

EXCHANGE DATE: The exchange date will be the later of:

1. the date we receive this policy and your written request at our Home
Office; or

2. the date we receive at our Home Office any sum due to be paid for such
an exchange.

This new policy will take effect on the exchange date only if the Insured is
alive. This policy will terminate when the new policy takes effect.

NEW POLICY: The new policy may be a Flexible Premium Adjustable Life Insurance
Policy offered by us on the Policy Date. The new policy will have a death
benefit on the exchange date not more than the death benefit of this policy
immediately prior to the exchange date. The new policy will have the same Policy
Date and Issue Age as this policy. The initial Specified Amount and any increase
in Specified Amount will have the same rate class as the one in this policy. Any
Indebtedness may be transferred to the new policy.

EXCHANGE AT OTHER TIMES: After 24 months from the Policy Date, you may exchange
this policy for a new policy, subject to our approval. You must furnish any
evidence of insurability we require and pay all costs associated with the
exchange.

VALUATION OF ASSETS IN A VARIABLE ACCOUNT

DETERMINING INVESTMENT RESULTS: The Cash Value will change with a change in the
investment results of the Subaccounts. An index called an accumulation unit
value measures changes in a Subaccount's investment experience. Each Subaccount
has its own accumulation unit value.

For each Subaccount, the accumulation unit value was initially set at $10.00.
The accumulation unit value for a Subaccount in each subsequent Valuation Period
is equal to (1), multiplied by (2), where:

(1) is the Subaccount's accumulation unit value for the preceding
Valuation Period; and

(2) is the Subaccount's net investment factor for the subsequent Valuation
Period.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR: Because the net investment factor may be greater than or
less than one, the accumulation unit value may increase or decrease from one
Valuation Period to the next; however, the accumulation unit value remains
constant throughout a Valuation Period. The net investment factor for a
Subaccount for a Valuation Period is obtained by dividing (1) by (2), where:

(1) is the net of:

(a) the net asset value per underlying investment measurement unit of
the Fund or Managed Account Option held in the Subaccount at the
end of the current Valuation Period; plus

(b) the per underlying investment measurement unit amount of any
dividend and capital gains distributions made by a security held
in the Subaccount if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the
current Valuation Period; plus or minus

(c) a per underlying investment measurement unit charge or credit for
taxes reserved for, if any, which is determined by the Company to
have resulted from the investment operations of the Subaccount.

(2) is the net of:

(a) the net asset value per share of the Fund held in the Subaccount
determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation
Period; plus or minus

(b) the per underlying investment measurement unit charge or credit
for taxes reserved for in the immediately preceding Valuation
Period.

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT, ALLOCATIONS, TRANSFERS AND CHANGES

VARIABLE ACCOUNT: A Variable Account is a separate investment account for the
Company. One or more are named on the Policy Data Page. The Variable Account is
subject to the laws of Ohio.

We own the assets of the Variable Account; we keep them separate from the assets
of our General Account. We maintain assets which are at least equal to the
reserves and other liabilities of the Variable Account. Such assets will not be
charged with liabilities that arise from any other business we conduct. We may
transfer to our General Account assets which exceed the reserves and other
liabilities of a Variable Account.

We will determine the value of the assets in the Variable Account at the end of
each Valuation Period.

SUBACCOUNTS: The Variable Account may have multiple Subaccounts. We list them on
the Policy Data Page. You determine, using Fund or Managed Account Option
allocation factors, expressed as percentages, how Net Premiums will be allocated
among the Subaccounts. You may choose to allocate nothing to a particular
Subaccount. Any allocation you make must be at least 1%; you may not choose a
fractional percent. The sum of the Fund and Managed Account Option allocation
factors, together with your Fixed Account allocating must equal 100%.

In states that require a full refund of premiums during the "Right to Examine
Policy" period, Net Premiums will be allocated to a Subaccount that invest in a
money market Fund or to a Fixed Account. The day following the end of this
period, the Cash Value in that Subaccount will be transferred to the variable
Subaccounts according to your chosen Fund allocation factors. Also, any
subsequent Net Premiums will be allocated according to your chosen factors. Fund
allocation factors during and immediately after the "Right to Examine Policy"
period, are shown on the Policy Data Page. After the "Right to Examine Policy"
period has expired, you may transfer amounts among the Subaccounts. Transfers
will take effect on the date your written request is received at our Home
Office, subject to any restrictions imposed by a Fund.

You may change the allocation for future Net Premiums at any time while your
policy is in force. To do so, you must notify us in writing in a form that meets
our approval. The change will take effect on the date we receive your written
request at our Home Office.

Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from assets in each
Subaccount are credited to, or charged against, the Subaccount. This is without
regard to income, gains, or losses in our other Subaccounts, separate investment
accounts, or our General Account.

RIGHT TO TRANSFER: You may transfer amounts among the Subaccounts on a daily
basis. Transfers may be made via any method deemed acceptable by us. We reserve
the right to refuse or limit any transfer request, or take any action we deem
necessary with respect to transfers among specified Subaccounts in order to
protect policy Owner and Beneficiaries from negative investment results that may
arise from harmful investment practices employed by certain Owners or their
representative. Our failure to exercise our rights under this section shall not
be construed as a waiver of our rights.

CHANGES OF SUBACCOUNT INVESTMENTS: A Managed Account Option Subaccount or a
Subaccount holding one Fund might, in our judgment, become unsuitable for
investment under the policy. This might happen because of a change in investment
policy, a change in the laws or regulations, the investment option is no longer
available for investment, or for some other reason. If this occurs, we have the
right to substitute another investment option. However, we would first notify
you and seek any required approvals from the SEC and the Superintendent of
Insurance of the State of Ohio.

OTHER CHANGES: To the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations
(including any order of the SEC), we may make changes as follows:

1. A Variable Account may be operated as a management company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, or in any other form permitted by law,
if we deem it to be in the best interest of the policy Owners.

2. A Variable Account may be deregistered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 in the event registration is no longer required.

3. A Variable Account may be combined with other separate investment
accounts.

4. The provisions of this and other policies may be modified to comply
with any other applicable federal or state laws.

In the event of such changes, we may make appropriate endorsement on this and
other policies having an interest in a Variable Account and take other actions
as may be necessary to effect such a change.

FIXED ACCOUNT PROVISIONS

FIXED ACCOUNT: The Fixed Accounts are funded by the General Account of the
Company. The Fixed Accounts are credited with interest as described under the
Nonforfeiture Provisions but the crediting rate may vary among Fixed Accounts.
In addition to allocating your Net Premiums to one or more of the Subaccounts
described above, you may direct all or part of your Net Premiums into one or
more of the Fixed Accounts identified on the Policy Data Page.

RIGHT TO TRANSFER: You may transfer amounts between the Fixed Accounts and the
Subaccounts, subject to the limits below, without penalty or adjustment. We
reserve the right to refuse or limit the number of transfers between the Fixed
Accounts.

FIXED ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS: We reserve the right to limit the amount transferred
into or out of a Fixed Account during a policy year. The restrictions include
limits on the amount of Fixed Account Cash Value, Subaccount Cash Value, or
Policy Cash Value you may transfer to or from the Fixed Accounts. The maximum
restrictions applicable to each Fixed Account are stated on the Policy Data
Page. Transfers to the Fixed Accounts may not be made prior to the first policy
anniversary or within 12 months of any prior transfer.

PROCEEDS AND SETTLEMENT PROVISIONS

PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS: Unless an optional mode of settlement is elected, we will
pay the Proceeds in a lump sum. If you elect an optional mode of settlement, we
will pay the Proceeds from our General Account, and the sum will no longer be
affected by the investment experience of any Subaccount.

OPTIONAL MODES OF SETTLEMENT: One or a combination of settlement options may be
chosen. A settlement option may be chosen only if the total amount placed under
the option is at least $2,000.00, and each payment is at least $20.00.
A settlement option election may be changed at any time by a proper written
request to our Home Office. Once recorded, it will become effective on the date
it was requested. We may require proof of the age of any person to be paid under
a settlement option. While this policy is in force, you may choose or change
settlement options at any time. If no settlement option has been chosen prior to
the Insured's death, the Beneficiary may choose one. A change of Beneficiary
automatically revokes any option in effect.

Settlement option payments are not assignable. To the extent allowed by law,
settlement option payments are not subject to the claims of creditors or to
legal process.

Under Options 2, 3, 4, and 5, payments will be made at the beginning of each 12,
6, 3, or 1 month interval beginning on the date of the Insured's death, on the
Maturity Date, or on the date of surrender, as applicable. Under Option 1 and 6,
payments will be made at the end of every 12, 6, 3, or 1 month interval from the
date of the Insured's death, on the Maturity Date, or on the date of surrender,
as applicable.

Under Options 1, 2, and 4, withdrawal of any outstanding balance may be made by
written request to our Home Office. No amount left with us under Options 3, 5,
or 6 may be withdrawn.

Options 1, 2, 4, and the guaranteed period of Option 3, provide for payment of
interest at a guaranteed minimum interest rate of 2 1/2% per year, compounded
annually. Any interest to be paid in excess of this rate will be determined once
a year.

OPTION 1 - INTEREST INCOME: The Proceeds remain with us to earn interest. This
interest may be left to accumulate or be paid periodically as stated above.

OPTION 2 - INCOME FOR A FIXED PERIOD: Proceeds remaining with us will be paid
over a specified number of years (not exceeding 30 years). Each payment consists
of a portion of the Proceeds plus a portion of the interest credited on the
outstanding balance. The amount payable monthly for each $1,000 left with us
will be at least the amount shown in the Option 2 Table.

OPTION 3 - LIFE INCOME WITH PAYMENTS GUARANTEED: Payments are made for a
guaranteed period of 10, 15, or 20 years, and thereafter for the remainder of a
payee's lifetime. The amount payable monthly for each $1,000 left with us is
shown in the Option 3 Table, according to the payee's age on the effective date
of the option.

OPTION 4 - FIXED INCOME FOR VARYING PERIODS: The Proceeds may be left on deposit
with us at interest with payments of a fixed amount being paid at specified
intervals until principal and interest have been exhausted. The last payment
will be for the balance only. The total amount payable each year may not be less
than 5% of the original Proceeds. (i.e., not less than $50 per annum of each
$1,000 of original Proceeds.)

OPTION 5 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME: Equal payments will be made for the
longer of the lives of two named payees. In other words, when one payee dies,
the same payment continues to be paid for the remainder of the surviving payee's
life. We will furnish values for other age combinations (than those shown in
Option 5 Table) upon request.

OPTION 6 - ALTERNATE LIFE INCOME: We will use the Proceeds to purchase an
annuity. The amount payable will be 102% of our current individual immediate
annuity purchase rate on the date of the Insured's death, on the Maturity Date,
or on the date of surrender, as applicable. We reserve the right to change our
current annuity rates at any time. However, once this option has been selected,
any revision in rates will not affect payment to a payee or payees. Upon
request, we will quote the amount currently payable under this settlement
option.

For "Settlement Option" Tables, please see Policy Data Pages.

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS: We will normally pay any amount payable upon the
Insured's death, or on maturity, surrender, any partial surrender or policy
loan, within seven days after we receive your written request, proof of death or
any other information we may reasonably require to pay a claim. However, such
payments may be postponed if:

1. the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except for customary holiday
closings); or

2. the SEC requires trading be restricted or declares an emergency; or

3. the SEC lets us defer payments for the protection of our policy
Owners.

POLICY GUARD RIDER

ATTACHED TO AND MADE A PART OF THIS POLICY ISSUED BY
NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
COLUMBUS, OHIO 43215-2220

GENERAL PROVISIONS

This Rider is part of the policy to which it is attached. This Rider is subject
to the terms and provisions of the policy except where otherwise provided. All
terms not specifically defined in this Rider have the meaning set forth in the
policy.

DEFINITIONS

AGE 75: Age 75 means the policy anniversary on or next following an Insured's
75th birthday.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The Effective Date of this Rider is the Policy Date unless a
different date is shown on the Policy Data Page.

RIDER CHARGE RATE: This rate varies by Attained Age and is the percentage of the
Cash Value taken as the charge for invoking this Rider.

SPECIAL FIXED ACCOUNT: An account funded by the General Account of The Company
that credits interest at the guaranteed fixed rate of the base policy.

For additional definitions, please see the base policy.

BENEFITS

Upon Invocation, this Rider will provide lapse protection for policies with
outstanding Indebtedness by providing a guaranteed paid-up insurance benefit.

REQUIREMENTS

To invoke this Rider, the policy must meet all of the following requirements:

1. The policy has reached its 15th anniversary.

2. If attached to an individual policy, the Insured must be at least Age
75. If attached to a survivorship policy, the younger Insured must be
at least Age 75.

3. The Cash Value is at least $100,000.

4. All amounts that may be withdrawn from the policy without the
imposition of federal income tax must be taken as partial surrenders.

5. The policy is issued under the Guideline Premium/ Cash Value Corridor
Test of Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. This Rider is not
available on Cash Value Accumulation Test policies.

6. The Indebtedness becomes more than a specified percentage of the
policy's Cash Value. This percentage is called the "Trigger Point" and
varies by Attained Age of the Insured(s). The Trigger Points are shown
in the attached table.

The first time the requirements for invoking this Rider are met, a letter will
be sent to the Owner at which time you may choose to invoke this Rider. If the
policy meets all of the above requirements and the Owner does not choose to
invoke the Rider, you still have the right to invoke the Rider at a later date
as long as the policy stays in force and provided that the above requirements
are still met.

NOTICE TO INVOKE

Before we take any action to invoke this Rider, we must receive at our Home
Office a written notice from the policy Owner directing us to invoke this Rider.

RIDER COST

There is no charge for this Rider unless the Owner invokes it.

If this Rider is invoked, the one-time Rider charge is the product of (1)
multiplied by (2), where:

1. is the Cash Value; and

2. is the Rider Charge Rate for the Insured's Attained Age which is shown
in the Policy Data Pages.

If the Cash Value minus Indebtedness is not enough to cover the Rider charge,
the Owner will be required to pay back enough of the Indebtedness in the form of
a loan repayment such that there is enough Cash Value minus Indebtedness to
cover the entire Rider charge.

There are no periodic charges.

TEST FOR 7702 COMPLIANCE

When the requirements for invoking this Rider have been met, and the Owner
elects to invoke this Rider, the death benefit will be adjusted in two steps in
compliance with Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code:

1. If the Death Benefit Option is not already Option 1, it will be
converted to Option 1, with a death benefit equal to the Specified
Amount as of the date of the conversion.

2. If the policy is not at its Minimum Required Death Benefit, the
Specified Amount will be set equal to minimum of (A) and (B), where:

A. is the Specified Amount immediately before Invocation; and

B. Minimum Required Death Benefit immediately after Rider charge.

If this adjusted Specified Amount is not compliant with Section 7702 of the
Internal Revenue Code, the Owner will not be allowed to invoke this Rider.

OPERATION OF THE POLICY UPON INVOKING THE RIDER

After the Rider charge is taken from the Cash Value as described in the Rider
Cost Provision and the death benefit is adjusted as described in the Test for
7702 Compliance Provision:

1. The Indebtedness will continue to grow at the policy's loan charged
rate.

2. The Policy Loan Account will continue to grow at the policy's loan
credited rate.

3. The Cash Value minus Policy Loan Account remaining after the one-time
Rider charge will be placed in the Special Fixed Account and will
continue to grow at the guaranteed fixed crediting rate of the base
policy.

4. No monthly deductions or additional charges will be taken from the
policy's Cash Value.

5. The policy is locked so no further loans or partial surrenders may be
taken (with the exception of a complete surrender).

6. No further premium payments or loan repayments (with exception of
minimum loan repayments required to pay the one-time Rider charge)
will be allowed.

7. The death benefit will continue to be defined as the maximum of (A)
and (B) where:

A. is the adjusted Specified Amount after invoking the Rider; and

B. is the Minimum Required Death Benefit.

8. The death Proceeds will continue to be defined as outlined in the base
policy.

The policy will be guaranteed and placed in a "paid-up" status.

EFFECT ON OTHER RIDERS

Invoking this rider will affect other policy Riders.

1. Maturity Extension

a. Maturity Extension for Cash Value will not be affected.

b. Maturity Extension for Specified Amount will be affected if there
is a change in Death Benefit Option and/or a reduction in
Specified Amount at the time of Invocation. This will result in
reduced benefits paid under the Maturity Extension for Specified
Amount.

2. Long Term Care

a. Prior to Invocation, this Rider will not affect the Long Term
Care Rider.

b. After this Rider is invoked, the policy Owner will no longer be
eligible for Long Term Care benefits and the Long Term Care Rider

CHILDREN'S INSURANCE RIDER

ATTACHED TO AND MADE A PART OF THIS POLICY ISSUED BY

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Columbus, Ohio 43215-2220

GENERAL PROVISIONS
This Rider is part of the policy to which it is attached. This Rider is subject
to the terms and provisions of the policy except where it provides otherwise.

This Rider is issued in consideration of an application and the payment of the
monthly cost for this Rider.

The effective date of this Rider is the Policy Date unless a different date is
shown on the Policy Data Page.

This Rider has no loan values. This Rider has no Surrender Values except as
paid-up insurance.

DEFINITIONS
Under this Rider:

INSURED CHILD--Insured Child means a child, stepchild, or legally adopted child
of the Insured who is at least 15 days old and:

1. is named in the application and is less than 18 years of age on the
date the application is signed; or

2. is born to the Insured and Xxxxxxx's spouse after the date of the
application; or

3. is legally adopted by the Insured after the date of the application
but before the child's 18th birthday.

A child ceases to be an Insured Child on the Policy Anniversary on or next
following his or her 22nd birthday.

BENEFICIARY--Beneficiary means the person to whom the proceeds of this Rider
will be paid upon the death of an Insured Child. Unless otherwise provided, the
Beneficiary under this Rider will be the Insured, if living. If the Insured is
not living, the Beneficiary will be the estate of the deceased Insured Child.

CHILD'S DEATH BENEFIT--Child's Death Benefit means an amount equal to $1,000
times the number of units for this Rider. The number of units is shown on the
Policy Data Page.

EXPIRY DATE--Expiry Date means the Policy Anniversary on or next following an
Insured Child's 22nd Birthday or on the termination date of this Rider, if
earlier.

BENEFIT
This Rider provides level term insurance on each Insured Child until such
child's Expiry Date for an amount equal to a Child's Death Benefit.

We will pay a Child's Death Benefit to the Beneficiary under this Rider upon
receipt at our Home Office of proof of the death of an Insured Child. The death
must occur while this Rider is in force and before such child's Expiry Date.

PAID-UP INSURANCE BENEFITS

If the Insured dies while this Rider is in force, the insurance under this Rider
will continue as paid-up term insurance on the life of each Insured Child.
"Paid-Up" means no further charges are required for this insurance. "Each
Insured Child" means any Insured Child living on the Insured's death and any
child born to the Insured and Insured's spouse after the date of death who
reaches 15 days of age.

The amount of coverage for each Insured Child will be equal to the Child's Death
Benefit. This paid-up term insurance will remain in effect until the earlier of:

1. the Policy Anniversary on or next following an Insured's Child's 22nd
birthday; or

2. the Policy Anniversary on which the Insured would have reached
Attained Age 65; or

3. the Policy Anniversary on which the policy was scheduled to mature.

Each Insured Child will be the Owner of the insurance on his or her life. If the
child dies while it is in force, the amount payable will be paid to his or her
estate.

This paid-up term insurance may be surrendered at any time for its cash value.
On the date of surrender, the cash value will equal the present value of future
paid-up insurance benefits. However, if it is surrendered within 31 days after a
Policy Anniversary, the cash value will not be less than it would have been on
that Policy Anniversary. To calculate such a value, we use mortality rates from
the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table for males. We assume
that interest will be earned at an annual rate of 4% and death benefits will be
paid immediately. We will furnish such values on request.

CONVERSION

The insurance provided by this Rider on an Insured Child may be converted,
without evidence of insurability, to a new policy on the life of such Insured
Child. The new policy may be any level premium, level benefit, permanent plan of
Whole Life or Endowment Insurance which we issue on the date of conversion. The
amount of the new policy cannot be less than our minimum issue limit for the
selected policy and not more than 5 times the Child's Death Benefit, or $25,000.
We will always make available a plan to which the Insured Child may convert.

While this Rider is in force, an Insured Child may convert on one of the
following dates:

1. the date the Insured Child marries; or

2. the Policy Anniversary on or next following the Insured Child's 18th
or 22nd birthday.

An Insured Child may also convert on the date this Rider terminates.

Any policy issued under this provision is also subject to the following
conditions:

1. The application for conversion must be received within 31 days of the
date on which the conversion is permitted and must be on a form
satisfactory to us.

2. The first premium for the converted policy must be received with the
application for conversion.

3. The effective date of the new policy is the date of the occasion on
which the conversion right is based. Coverage under this Rider for the
Insured Child will cease on the date of conversion.

4. Riders may be added to the new policy only with our consent.

5. The premium for the new policy will be based on the rates in effect on
the date of conversion for the amount of insurance selected and the
Insured Child's Attained Age and sex. The rate class of the new policy
will be the rate class of the Insured Child under this Rider.

6. The Incontestability and Suicide provisions of the new policy will be
effective from the effective date of this Rider.

EXTENDED COVERAGE

We will pay a death benefit equal to the amount which would have been paid had
the term insurance been in force if :

1. any Insured Child dies within 31 days after his or her Expiry Date;
and

2. before any new policy provided by the conversion privilege becomes
effective.

INCONTESTABILITY

With respect to the insurance on each Insured Child named in the application, we
will not contest this Rider after it has been in force during that Insured
Child's lifetime for 2 years from its effective date.

This Rider will be incontestable immediately as to the insurance on an Insured
Child born to or adopted by the Insured after the effective date.

SUICIDE EXCLUSION

If the Insured dies of suicide within 2 years of the effective date of this
Rider, the insurance provided by this Rider may be converted as stated in the
Conversion Provision.

If an Insured Child dies of suicide within 2 years of the effective date of this
Rider, we will pay nothing.

ERROR IN AGE OR SEX

If the Insured Child's Age was misstated in the application, such that the Child
would not be covered on the date of death, the death benefit, if any, will be
equal to the cost of insurance paid since the Policy Anniversary on or next
following the youngest Insured Child's 22nd birthday. There will be no
adjustment of benefits due to a misstatement of sex.

TERMINATION

This Rider will terminate on the earliest of the following dates:

1. the Policy Anniversary on or next following the Insured's 65th
birthday; or

2. the date the policy terminates; or

3. the Monthly Anniversary Day on or next following the receipt at our
Home Office of the Owner's written request to terminate this Rider. We
may ask for the return of the policy for our endorsement;

4. the Policy Anniversary on or next following the youngest Insured
Child's 22nd birthday. The termination of the policy due to the
Insured's death will not affect the insurance provided in the Paid-Up
Insurance Benefit Provision.

DEATH OF AN INSURED CHILD DURING GRACE PERIOD
If an Insured Child dies during the Grace Period, we will pay the death benefit
for such child, less the premium needed to cover the monthly deductions through
the policy month in which the child died.

REINSTATEMENT
If the policy to which this Rider is attached is reinstated, then this Rider may
be reinstated at the same time. Evidence of insurability, satisfactory to us,
will be required for each Insured Child to be covered. If we are not satisfied
with the evidence of insurability furnished as to any child, we may, upon
reinstating this Rider, exclude such child from coverage by endorsement. No
benefits will be payable as a result of the death of any child if such death
occurred after the end of the Grace Period and before the date of reinstatement.

RIDER COST
The monthly cost for this Rider is equal to the product of (1) times (2), where:

1. is the number of units for this Rider shown on the Policy Data Page;

2. is the rate per unit for this Rider shown on the attached page.

The Rider cost will not change as the number of children insured under this
Rider changes.

The monthly cost for this Rider will be included in the monthly deduction from
the policy Contract Value as long as this Rider is in force.

CONSIDERATION. The issuance of this Long Term Care Rider is based upon your
responses to the questions on your application. A copy of your application was
retained by you when you applied. If your answers are incorrect or untrue, the
Company has the right to deny benefits or rescind your policy. The best time to
clear up any questions is before a claim arises! If, for any reason, any of your
answers are incorrect, contact the Company at the address shown on the Outline
of Coverage.

TAXATION. This Long Term Care Rider is intended to be a qualified long-term care
insurance contract under Section 7702B(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. BENEFITS
PAID UNDER THIS RIDER MAY BE TAXABLE. IF SO, YOU OR YOUR BENEFICIARY MAY INCUR A
TAX OBLIGATION. AS WITH ALL TAX MATTERS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR PERSONAL TAX
ADVISOR TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF THIS BENEFIT.

RIDER VALUES. This rider has no Cash Surrender Value and no loan values.

NET AMOUNT AT RISK. The Net Amount at Risk of the rider on a Monthly Anniversary
Day is the lesser of the Net Amount at Risk on the base policy (including the
Additional Protection Rider Net Amount at Risk) and the Long Term Care Specified
Amount.

COST OF INSURANCE. The monthly rider charge will be determined based on our
expectations of future experience. The monthly charge for this rider is equal to
the product of A times B times C where:

A. is the Net Amount at Risk of the Long Term Care Rider;

B. is the per thousand of Net Amount at Risk charge based on the
Insured's Attained Age, class, sex, and product; and

C. is a factor based on the substandard rating of the Insured.

The per thousand of Net Amount at Risk charge will not be greater than the rate
shown in the Table of Guaranteed Rider Cost rates. Any change in cost of
insurance rates will be on a uniform basis for Insured's of the same sex,
Attained Age, product, and rate class whose policies have been in force for the
same duration.

EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of coverage under this rider will be as
follows:

1. For all coverage provided in the original application, the effective
date will be the Policy Date.

2. For any rider issued after the Policy Date, the effective date will be
the date shown on a supplement to the Policy Data Pages.

3. For any insurance that has been reinstated, the effective date will be
the date we approve the reinstatement.

RIGHT TO EXAMINE RIDER. To be certain that you are satisfied with this rider,
you have a 30 day "free look." Within 30 days after you receive the rider, you
may return it to our Home Office or to the representative who delivered it. We
will then void the rider as if it had never been in force and refund all rider
charges.

RENEWABILITY. We will not cancel or reduce coverage under this rider. Unless the
Owner requests termination of this rider, it will remain in force as long as the
policy remains in force.

LAPSE PROTECTION. If the contract value is insufficient to cover monthly
deductions while the Insured is receiving rider benefits, we will not lapse the
policy and monthly deductions will be waived.

REPRESENTATIONS AND CONTESTABILITY. All statements submitted in the application
for this rider by or on behalf of the Insured will, in the absence of fraud, be
deemed representations and not warranties. The validity of this rider with
respect to the Insured will not be contestable after it has been in force for
two years during the lifetime of the Insured.

REINSTATEMENT. If this rider terminates, as provided in the Grace Period section
of the policy, it may be reinstated along with the policy at any time within 5
years after the date of termination and prior to the Maturity Date. The
reinstatement is subject to:

1. receipt of evidence of insurability satisfactory to us; and

2. payment of a premium sufficient to keep this policy and all attached
riders in force for a minimum of 3 months.

This rider will be reinstated within 45 days of the date we receive the
reinstatement application and the reinstatement premium unless we mail a written
notice of denial to the Owner within 45 days. Notice will be sent to the last
known address of the Owner.

ERROR IN AGE OR SEX. If there is an error in the age or sex of the Insured, the
benefits provided by this rider will be the amount that the most recent rider
cost of insurance charge would provide at the correct age or sex. However, if an
Insured's correct age on the date coverage became effective was such that we
would not have granted coverage, we will only be liable for the return of any
premiums on account of such a person.

CONFORMITY WITH STATE STATUTES. If any provision of this rider is in conflict
with the laws of the state in which the Insured resides on the rider effective
date, the provision is automatically amended to meet the minimum requirements of
such laws.

1. on the Monthly Anniversary Day on or next following the date we
receive written request by the Owner;

2. upon termination of this policy;

3. when this policy matures; or

4. when the Insured dies.

Coverage will terminate at midnight on any given termination date.

DEFINITIONS

ACCUMULATED VALUE is determined without deduction of any surrender charge. In
some policies to which this rider may be attached, Accumulated Value is
synonymous with "Cash Value" or "Contract Value." The calculation of the
Accumulated Value is explained in the policy.

ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING. Activities of Daily Living refers to those
activities which measure the Insured's ability for self care. The six key
Activities of Daily Living used in this rider to determine the level of care
needed by the Insured are:

1. bathing;

All terms of the policy that do not conflict with the terms of this Rider will
apply.

DEFINITIONS

ACCUMULATED PREMIUM ACCOUNT - Is all premium payments accumulated to the date of
death less any partial surrenders accumulated to the date of death. These
accumulations will be calculated based on the Option 3 interest rate shown on
the Policy Data Page. In no event will the Accumulated Premium Account be less
than zero or greater than the Option 3 Maximum Increase shown on the Policy Data
Page.

MINIMUM REQUIRED DEATH BENEFIT - Is the dollar amount of the total death benefit
for this Rider and the policy to which it is attached, which will qualify both
this Rider and the policy as a life insurance contract.

TARGET SPECIFIED AMOUNT - A dollar amount used to determine the total death
benefit for this Rider and the policy to which it is attached.

BENEFIT

This Rider provides term life insurance on the Insured. The Insured is the
person insured under the policy to which this Rider is attached. Coverage is
annually renewable to the Maturity Date of the policy. The amount of coverage
provided under this Rider varies from month to month as described below. We will
pay the Rider's death benefit to the Beneficiary when we receive satisfactory
proof that the death of the Insured occurred while this Rider was in force.

RIDER DEATH BENEFIT

The Rider's death benefit will be determined at the beginning of each policy
month in accordance with one of the following options, whichever is in effect on
the date of the Insured's death. The current option in effect is shown on the
Policy Data Page.

Under DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 1, the Rider death benefit will be equal to (a) minus
(b), where:

a) is the maximum of (1) or (2), where:

1) is the Target Specified Amount on the date of death;

2) is the Minimum Required Death Benefit on the date of death; and

b) is the death benefit provided by the base policy to which this Rider
is attached.

Under DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 2, the Rider death benefit will be equal to (a) minus
(b), where:

a) is the maximum of (1) or (2), where:

1) is the Target Specified Amount plus the Cash Value on the date of
death;

2) is the Minimum Required Death Benefit on the date of death; and

b) is the death benefit provided by the base policy to which this Rider
is attached.

Under DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 3, the Rider death benefit will be equal to (a) minus
(b), where:

a) is the maximum of (1) or (2), where:

1) is the Target Specified Amount plus the Accumulated Premium
Account on the date of death;

2) is the Minimum Required Death Benefit on the date of death; and

b) is the death benefit provided by the base policy to which this Rider
is attached.

INCREASES AND DECREASES

At the time of issue of this Rider, you may request to schedule an increase or
decrease to the Target Specified Amount.

At any time after issue of this Rider, you may request either an increase or
decrease to the Target Specified Amount. Any approved changes will result in a
new Target Specified Amount. Your request must be in writing to our Home Office.
Increases in the Target Specified Amount will require evidence of insurability
satisfactory to us. Any such change will be effective on the monthly anniversary
day on or next following our approval of your request. We reserve the right to
limit the number of changes to one each policy year.

The Target Specified Amount may be decreased at any time, subject to the
following conditions:

1. The Target Specified Amount may not be decreased below the Minimum
Specified Amount as shown on the Policy Data Page.

2. Decreases that would disqualify the policy as life insurance under
Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code will not be permitted.

3. Decreases that would cause the policy to become a Modified Endowment
Contract require written acknowledgment from the Owner.

4. Decreases on Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test policies that
would result in both a negative Guideline Single Premium and a
Guideline Level Premium, that is negative to the extent that the
annual sum of GLPs would be negative at some time before maturity,
will not be allowed.

COST OF INSURANCE

The cost of insurance for this Rider is determined on a monthly basis and added
to the policy's monthly deduction as long as this Rider remains in force. The
monthly cost of insurance charge for this Rider is determined by multiplying the
monthly cost of insurance rate by the Rider death benefit.

Monthly cost of insurance rates for this Rider will be determined by us from
time to time, based on our expectations as to future experience for factors such
as mortality, persistency, expenses and taxes. Any change in cost of insurance
rates will be on a uniform basis for Insured's of the same sex, Attained Age,
Target Specified Amount, rate class and rate type whose Riders have been in
force for the same length of time. These rates will never be greater than the
Rider Guaranteed Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates shown on the Policy Data Page.
The basis for these Guaranteed Maximum Cost of Insurance Rates are also shown on
the Policy Data Page.

REINSTATEMENT

If the policy to which this Rider is attached is reinstated, we will also
reinstate this Rider if we receive proof, satisfactory to us, that the Insured
is still insurable at the same rates.

TERMINATION

You may terminate this Rider by written request to us. In order to terminate
this Rider, we have the right to require the policy for endorsement. This Rider
also terminates on the earliest of the following dates:

1. the date the policy is surrendered or terminated;

2. the expiration of the grace period of the policy;

3. the death of the Insured;

4. the Maturity Date of the policy.

INCONTESTABILITY

After this Rider has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two
years from its issue date, we will not contest it for any reason except
non-payment of premiums sufficient to cover the cost of insurance for this
Rider.

SUICIDE

If the Insured dies of suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the
issue date of this Rider, we will pay nothing under this Rider except to return
the cost of insurance deducted.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX

If the age or sex of the Insured has been misstated, the Rider death benefit
will be adjusted. The adjusted Rider death benefit will be that which the Rider
cost of insurance charge would have purchased, based on the Insured's correct
age and sex. This Rider cost of insurance charge will be determined on the last
monthly anniversary day prior to the death of the Insured.

WAIVER RIDER
attached to and made a part of this policy issued by
NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Columbus, Ohio 43215-2220

GENERAL PROVISIONS

This Rider is part of the policy to which it is attached. This Rider is subject
to the terms and provisions of the policy except where it provides otherwise.

This Rider is issued in consideration of an application and the payment of the
monthly cost for this Rider.

The effective date of this Rider is the Policy Date unless a different date is
shown on the Policy Data Page.

This Rider has no Surrender Values and no loan values.

DEFINITIONS

Under this Rider:
AGE 60 AND AGE 65 - Age 60 and Age 65 mean the policy anniversaries on or next
following the Insured's 60th and 65th birthdays, respectively.

INJURY - Injury means accidental bodily injury which occurs while this Rider is
in effect.

SICKNESS - Sickness means sickness or disease which first manifests itself while
this Rider is in effect.

TOTAL DISABILITY - Total Disability means the Insured's inability due to Injury
or Sickness:

1. to perform the material duties of his or her regular occupation during
the first 24 months of any one period of disability; and thereafter,

2. to perform the duties of any occupation in which he or she is, or
becomes, reasonably fitted by education, training or experience,
following the first 24 months of any one continuous period of
disability.

The total and permanent loss by the Insured of any of the following will also be
considered a Total Disability:

1. the entire sight of both eyes;

2. both hands severed above the wrist;

3. both feet severed above the ankle; or

4. one hand severed above the wrist and one foot severed above the ankle.

We consider the complete loss of four fingers on one hand as loss of that hand.

BENEFIT

We will waive the Monthly Deductions for this Policy when we receive proof,
satisfactory to us, that:

1. the Insured has become totally disabled while this Rider is in effect;
and

2. the Total Disability has continued for at least six consecutive
months.

If Total Disability begins before Age 60, we will waive each Monthly Deduction
due after such disability begins and while it continues. If Total Disability
begins on or after Age 60 but before Age 65, we will waive each Monthly
Deduction due after the Total Disability begins and while it continues, but only
to Age 65, or, if longer, during the first 24 months after the date such
disability begins.

No Monthly Deduction will be waived which became due before a Total Disability
has existed continuously for six months. Monthly Deductions which become due
before a claim for waiver is approved will be deducted from the Contract Value
as stated in this Policy. Once the claim is approved, we will credit to the
Contract Value any Monthly Deduction that became due after Total Disability
began, plus any interest which we would otherwise have credited.

We will not waive any Monthly Deduction which fell due more than 12 months
before the date we receive written notice of the claim and proof of the
Insured's Total Disability.

DISABILITY DURING FIRST THREE POLICY YEARS

During the first three Policy years, we will waive the Minimum Monthly Premium,
rather than the Monthly Deduction, while the Insured remains disabled. The
Contract Value will increase by the amount in which the Minimum Monthly Premium
exceeds the Monthly Deduction, just as if the Minimum Monthly Premium had been
paid.

RISKS NOT ASSUMED

No benefit will be provided by this Rider if Total Disability results in any way
from:

1. an intentionally self-inflicted injury;

2. a war, declared or undeclared; or

3. an act of war while the Insured serves in the armed forces of any
country, group of countries or international organization at war,
declared or undeclared.

NOTICE OF CLAIM AND PROOF OF DISABILITY

Before we waive any Monthly Deduction, we must receive at our Home Office a
written notice of the claim and proof, satisfactory to us, that the Insured is
totally disabled. Such notice and proof must be received:

1. while the Insured is alive and totally disabled; and

2. not later than 12 months after this Rider terminates; or

3. not later than 12 months after the disability began.

Failure to give notice and proof within such time will not invalidate the claim
if it is shown that each was given as soon as reasonably possible.

If Total Disability begins during a grace period, we will waive Monthly
Deductions only if sufficient premium is paid to cover the Monthly Deductions
through the policy month in which Total Disability began.

PROOF OF CONTINUANCE OF TOTAL DISABILITY

As part of any proof, we have the right to have the Insured examined by one or
more physicians named by us. Such examinations will be at our expense.

If such proof is not submitted when requested by us, we will deem the Insured no
longer totally disabled and no further Monthly Deductions will be waived.

POLICY CHANGES AND ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS

While Monthly Deductions are being waived, we will not allow:

1. Changes in the Specified Amount;

2. Changes in the death benefit option;

3. Changes in the Maturity Date; and

4. The addition of riders.

Additional contributions to the Contract Value of the policy will be allowed, if
permitted by law.

ERROR IN SEX OR AGE

If the Insured's age has been misstated on the application, the charges and
benefits payable will be adjusted to reflect the difference in age. There will
be no adjustment of benefits due to a misstatement of sex.

INCONTESTABILITY

TERMINATION

This Rider will terminate on the earliest of the following dates:

1. the Policy Anniversary on or next following the Insured's 65th
birthday; provided that this will not affect any valid claim arising
from Total Disability which began before such date;

2. the date the policy terminates;

RIDER COST

The monthly cost for this Rider is equal to the product of (1) times (2) times
(3), where:

1. is the Monthly Deduction excluding the cost for this Rider;

2. is the rate class multiple for this Rider shown on the Policy Data
Page;

3. is the factor based on the Insured's Attained Age which is shown in
the attached table.

The monthly cost for this Rider will be included in the Monthly Deduction from
the policy Contract Value as long as this Rider is in force.
