.. the Excess Amount as of 25 days prior to the previous policy anniversary is
greater than or equal to one year's minimum premium plus one year's premium for
any additional benefits;

.. the Company determines that the Policy Value 25 days prior to the previous

.. amounts which the Company is then charging for premium suspension; and

.. the basis of values for premium suspension shown on page 8; and

.. no withdrawals have been made after a date 25 days prior to the previous
policy anniversary.

If a policy qualifies for premium suspension:

The Owner may pay unscheduled additional premiums as provided under Section 4.3.

While premiums are being suspended, contract charges will be deducted from the
Policy Value on each policy anniversary, subject to the maximum charges shown on
page 4. If the premium frequency is other than annual, a deduction will be made
from Policy Value to pay a premium for the remainder of the policy year and the
premium frequency will be changed to annual.

The payment of premiums must resume as of a policy anniversary if either:

.. the Excess Amount as of 25 days prior to a policy anniversary is less than the
sum of one year's minimum premium plus one year's premium for any additional
benefits; or

.. the Owner elects to end premium suspension by written request sent to the Home
Office. If a withdrawal of Policy Value is made, premiums will no longer be
suspended unless the policy requalifies for premium suspension as of the next

in its investment objectives or restrictions. The Company will notify the Owner
if there is any such change. The Owner may exchange this policy within 60 days
after the notice or the effective date of the change, whichever is later.

another mutual fund. Any such substitution will be subject to any required
approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Wisconsin
Commissioner of Insurance or other regulatory authority.

The Company also may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations
(including any order of the SEC), make changes as follows:

.. the Separate Account or a Division may be operated as a management company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or in any other form permitted by law,
if deemed by the Company to be in the best interest of the policy owners.

In the event of a substitution or change, the Company may make appropriate
endorsement of this and other policies having an interest in the Separate
Account and take other actions as may be necessary to effect the substitution or
change.

6.2  ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS, DIVIDENDS AND DEDUCTIONS

The first net annual policy premium and any net scheduled additional premium
used to purchase variable paid-up insurance will be allocated to the Money
Market Division on the Policy Date. Any net unscheduled additional premium
received prior to the Initial Allocation Date will be allocated to the Money
Market Division on the later of the Policy Date and the date the Company
receives the premium. The Initial Allocation Date is shown on page 7.

On the Initial Allocation Date, amounts in the Money Market Division will be
allocated in accordance with the application. This allocation will remain in
effect for later net premiums unless changed by the Owner by written request.
Any change in allocation will be in effect for net premiums credited to the
policy following the receipt of the written request at the Home Office.
Allocations must be in whole percentages. If a Division is to receive an
allocation, the allocation must be at least 10%. An allocation will not be
permitted that results in assets invested for this policy being apportioned
among more than the maximum number of Divisions for allocation shown on page 7.

Any deduction from Policy Value or from the value of variable paid-up additional
insurance, other than a decrease due to investment results, will be allocated in
proportion to the values in the Divisions.

6.3  TRANSFER OF ASSETS

On or after the Initial Allocation Date, the Owner may transfer the assets
(other than policy debt) invested for this policy to any of the Divisions, as
long as these assets, following the transfer, are allocate among not more than
the maximum number of Divisions for allocation shown on page 7. Transfers may be
made as often as twelve times in a policy year.

The transfer will take effect on the date a written request is received in the
Home Office. A fee may be required. The maximum fee is shown on page 7.

                       SECTION 7. DETERMINATION OF VALUES

7.1  POLICY VALUE

On the Policy Date, the Policy Value is equal to the net annual policy premium
plus any net unscheduled additional premium credited to Policy Value on the
Policy Date, less the cost of insurance charge. On any day after that, the
Policy Value is equal to what it was on the previous day plus these items:

.. any increase due to investment results of all amounts invested in all
Divisions for the Policy Value; -

.. interest on the Policy Value's share of policy debt at an annual rate equal to
the loan interest rate less a charge by the Company for expenses and taxes;

.. on each policy anniversary, if the premium due is paid within the grace
period, the net annual policy premium;

.. any net unscheduled additional premium used to increase Policy Value credited
that day;

.. any policy dividend payable on that day directed to increase Policy Value; and

.. any amounts transferred to Policy Value from variable paid-up additional
insurance;

                                       20

<PAGE>

and minus any of these items applicable on that day:

.. any decrease due to investment results of all amounts invested in all
Divisions for the Policy Value;

.. a charge against the Separate Account at a rate of not more than 0.0016389% a
day (0.60% a year) for mortality and expense risks that the Company assumes;

.. any amount charged against the Separate Account for taxes;

.. if the annual premium is suspended under the Premium Suspension provision
(Section 4.6), any charges required under that provision;

.. the cost of insurance charge for the Insurance Amount;

.. any withdrawals; and

.. any surrender charges, administrative charges or reduction in policy debt that
may result from a withdrawal, a decrease in face amount or a change to variable
benefit paid-up insurance

In addition, Policy Value will be adjusted for any increase or decrease, other
than on a policy anniversary, in the amount of scheduled additional premiums
used to increase Policy Value.

7.2  COST OF INSURANCE CHARGES FOR THE INSURANCE AMOUNT

A cost of insurance charge is deducted from the Policy Value on each policy
anniversary and is used in the determination of the Policy Value on the Policy
Date. The cost of insurance charge is the cost of insurance rate times the net
amount at risk. The cost of insurance rate is based on the attained age of the
Insured. The cost of insurance rates are shown on page 5. The net amount at risk
is (a) minus (b) where:

(a) is the projected Insurance Amount divided by 1.04. The projected Insurance
Amount is what the Insurance Amount would be at the end of the policy year
assuming a 4% annual effective interest rate on invested funds; and

(b) is the Policy Value.

                                       21

<PAGE>

lf an unscheduled additional premium paid on a date other than a policy
anniversary results in an increase in the net amount at risk, a cost of
insurance charge for the portion of the policy year remaining will be deducted
from Policy Value on the date the unscheduled additional premium is received by
the Company.

7.3  EXCESS AMOUNT

The Excess Amount is:

.. the Policy Value; less

.. the tabular value of the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit; less

.. the tabular value of the amount of Additional Protection; less

.. an adjustment, if premiums are not paid on an annua basis, for premiums due
later in the policy year.

If the amount determined above is less than zero, the Excess Amount will be
zero.

7.4  VARIABLE PAID-UP ADDITIONAL INSURANCE

Additional premiums and dividends used to purchase variable paid-up additional
insurance will immediately increase the death proceeds payable under Section
1.1. These amounts are not included in the Additional Protection.

The amount of variable paid-up additional insurance is equal to the cash value
of variable paid-up additional insurance divided by the net single premium using
the basis of values shown on page 8.

On the Policy Date, the cash value of variable paid-up additional insurance is
equal to any net additional premium used to purchase variable paid-up additional
insurance less the cost of insurance charge for the variable paid-up additional
insurance. On any day after that, the cash value of variable paid-up additional
insurance is equal to what it was on the previous day plus these items:

.. any increase due to investment results of all amounts invested in all
Divisions for the variable paid-up additional insurance;

t-interest on the variable paid-up additional insurance's share of policy debt
at an annual rate equal to the loan interest rate less a charge by the Company
for expenses and taxes;

.. on each policy anniversary, if the premium due is paid within the grace
period, the net scheduled additional premium used to purchase variable paid-up
additional insurance;

.. any net unscheduled additional premium used to purchase variable paid-up
additional insurance credited that day; and

.. any policy dividend payable on that day directed to purchase variable paid-up
additional insurance;

and minus any of these items applicable on that day;

.. any decrease due to investment results of all amounts invested in all
Divisions for the variable paid-up additional insurance;

.. a charge against the Separate Account at a rate of not more than 0.0016389% a
day (0.60% a year) for mortality and expense risks that the Company assumes;

.. any amount charged against the Separate Account for taxes;

.. the cost of insurance charge for the variable paid-up additional insurance;

.. any surrender of variable paid-up additional insurance; and

.. any amount transferred to Policy Value.

In addition, variable paid-up additional insurance will be adjusted for any
increase or decrease, other

                                       22

<PAGE>

than on a policy anniversary, in the amount of scheduled additional premiums
used to purchase variable paid-up additional insurance.

Transfer Of Cash Value Of Variable Paid-Up Additional Insurance To Policy Value.
The Owner may transfer the cash value of any variable paid-up additional
insurance to Policy Value. The transfer will take effect on the date a written
request to transfer is received at the Home Office. Policy Value may not be
transferred to the cash value of variable paid-up additional insurance.

7.5  COST OF INSURANCE CHARGES FOR VARIABLE PAID-UP ADDITIONAL INSURANCE

A cost of insurance charge is deducted from the cash value of variable paid-up
additional insurance on each policy anniversary and is used in the determination
of the cash value of variable paid-up additional insurance on the Policy Date.
The cost of insurance charge is the cost of insurance rate times the net amount
at risk. The cost of insurance rate is based on the attained age of the Insured.
The cost of insurance rates are shown on page 5. On a policy anniversary, the
net amount at risk is (a) minus (b) where:

(a) is the amount of variable paid-up additional insurance divided by 1.04; and

(b) is the cash value of variable paid-up additional insurance on the policy
anniversary.

If a net unscheduled additional premium is credited to the cash value of
variable paid-up additional insurance on a day other than the policy
anniversary, there will be a cost of insurance charge for the remainder of the
policy year based on the increase in the net amount at risk resulting from the
unscheduled additional premium.

7.6  VALUATION DAY AND VALUATION PERIOD

A valuation day is any day on which the assets of the Separate Account are
valued. A valuation period is a valuation day and any immediately preceding days
which are not valuation days.

Assets are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
each day the Exchange is open. Each Division's share of amounts allocated,
transferred or added to a Division or of amounts deducted, loaned, transferred
or withdrawn from a Division on any day will be determined as of the end of the
valuation period that contains that day

                                       23

<PAGE>

                  SECTION 8. CASH VALUES AND PAID-UP INSURANCE

8.1 CASH VALUE

The cash value of this policy on any date when all premiums due have been paid,
during the grace period following the due date of an unpaid premium, or when
this policy is in force as variable benefit paid-up insurance is equal to:

.. the Policy Value; plus

.. the cash value of variable paid-up additional insurance; less

.. any policy debt; less

.. the surrender charge for the policy year shown on page 4. There is no
surrender charge if the policy is in force as variable benefit paid-up
insurance.

If premiums are not paid on an annual basis, the cash value will reflect a
reduction for any premiums due later in the policy year.

8.2 FIXED BENEFIT PAID-UP INSURANCE

If any premium is unpaid on the last day of the grace period and if the cash
value is at least $1,000 on the last day of the grace period, this policy will
be in force as fixed benefit paid-up insurance. If the cash value is less than
$1,000 as of the last day of the grace period, the policy will be treated as
surrendered under Section 8.4.

When the policy is in force as fixed benefit paid-up insurance, the Minimum
Guaranteed Death Benefit, Additional Protection and Policy Value will not be in
effect.

The amount of fixed benefit paid-up insurance will be determined by using the
cash value plus the policy debt, both as of the last day of the grace period, as
a net single premium at the attained age of the Insured. However, if a portion
of the cash value is attributable to variable paid-up additional insurance, that
portion will be applied to purchase fixed benefit paid-up additions. The
variable paid-up additional insurance will no longer be in force.

The cash value of fixed benefit paid-up insurance or fixed benefit paid-up
additions will be the net single premium for that insurance at the attained age
of the Insured less any policy debt. If fixed benefit paid-up insurance is
surrendered within 31 days after a policy anniversary, the cash value will not
be less than the cash value on that anniversary reduced by any later surrender
of paid-up additions and adjusted for any later change in policy debt.

The amount of the death proceeds when this policy is in force as fixed benefit
paid-up insurance will be:

.. the amount of fixed benefit paid-up insurance determined above; plus

.. the amount of any fixed benefit paid-up additions then in force; plus

.. the amount of any dividend at death; less

.. the amount of any policy debt.

These amounts will be determined as of the date of death.

Any policy debt will continue on fixed benefit paid-up insurance. Fixed benefit
paid-up insurance will share in divisible surplus.

8.3 VARIABLE BENEFIT PAID-UP INSURANCE

Variable benefit paid-up insurance may be selected in place of fixed benefit
paid-up insurance provided the cash value of the policy is at least $5,000 on
the last day of the grace period. A written request must be received at the Home
Office no later than the last day of the grace period.

When the policy is in force as variable benefit paid-up insurance, the Minimum
Guaranteed Death Benefit and Additional Protection will not be in effect. On the
due date of the unpaid premium, the

                                       24

<PAGE>

Policy Value is set equal to the cash value plus the policy debt. The cash value
of variable paid-up additional insurance is set at zero.

The amount of the death proceeds when this policy is in force as variable
benefit paid-up insurance will be:

.. the Policy Value of variable benefit paid-up insurance divided by the net
single premium using the basis of values on page 8; plus

.. the amount of any in force variable paid-up additional insurance purchased by
dividends; plus

.. the amount of any dividend at death; less

.. the amount of any policy debt.

These amounts will be determined as of the date of death.

Any policy debt will continue on variable benefit paid-up insurance. Variable
benefit paid-up insurance will share in divisible surplus.

8.4 SURRENDER

The Owner may surrender this policy for its cash value. A written surrender of
all claims, satisfactory to the Company, will be required. The date of surrender
will be the date of receipt at the Home Office of the written surrender. The
policy will terminate, and the cash value will be determined, as of the end of
the valuation period which includes the date of surrender, or, in the case of
fixed benefit paid-up insurance, as of the date of surrender. The Company may
require that the policy be sent to it.

                                       25

<PAGE>

8.5 DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS

Variable Insurance. During any period when:

.. the sale of securities or the determination of investment results is not
reasonably practicable because

(i) the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or (ii)conditions are such that,
under rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, trading is deemed to be
restricted or an emergency is deemed to exist; or

.. the SEC, by order, permits deferral for the protection of the Company's policy
owners;

the Company reserves the right:

.. to defer determination of cash value and payment of the cash value;

.. to defer payment of a loan or withdrawal;

.. to defer determination of a change in the amount of variable insurance or
other variable amounts payable on death, and, if such determination has been
deferred, to defer payment of any portion of the death benefit based on a
variable amount; and

.. if payment of all or part of the death benefit is deferred, to defer
application of the death proceeds to a payment plan under Section 12.

Fixed Benefit Insurance. The Company may defer paying the cash value of the
fixed benefit paid-up insurance for up to six months from the date of surrender.
If payment is deferred for 30 days or more, interest will be paid on the cash
value at an annual effective rate of 4% from the date of surrender to the date
of payment.

The Company may defer making a loan for up to six months.

8.6 TABULAR VALUES

The tabular value of the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit is equal to the
Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit times the tabular value per $1 of insurance.
The tabular value of Additional Protection is equal to the amount of Additional
Protection times the tabular value per $1 of insurance. Tabular values per $1 of
insurance are shown on page 8 for each policy anniversary. Tabular values during
a policy year will reflect the time elapsed in that year.

Tabular values are the net level premium reserves for a whole life policy
calculated using the basis of values shown on page 8. Calculations assume annual
premiums are paid at the beginning of the policy year and claims are paid at the
end of the policy year.

Tabular values are used to determine:

.. whether the amount of Additional Protection may be reduced under Section 3.2;

.. to determine the amount of any required unscheduled additional premium under
Section 4.4;

.. whether the policy qualifies for premium suspension under Section 4.6; and

.. the Excess Amount under Section 7.3.

                        SECTION 9. LOANS AND WITHDRAWALS

9.1 POLICY LOANS

The Owner may obtain a loan from the Company in an amount that, when added to
existing policy debt, is not more than the loan value.

A loan may be obtained on written request or to pay an overdue premium if the
premium loan provisions in effect on this policy and premiums are not suspended
under Section 4.6. If the loan value

                                       26

<PAGE>

is not large enough to pay the overdue premium, a premium will be paid for any
other frequency permitted by the Company for which the loan value is large
enough. The Owner may elect or revoke the premium loan provision by written
request received at the Home Office.

9.2 LOAN VALUE

The loan value is 90% of the sum of the cash value and any existing policy debt
on the date of the loan.

9.3 POLICY DEBT

Policy debt consists of all outstanding loans and accrued interest. It may be
paid to the Company at any time. Any policy debt will be deducted from the
policy proceeds.

If the cash value decreases to zero, this policy will terminate unless a
sufficient portion of the policy debt is repaid. Termination occurs 31 days
after a notice has been mailed to the Owner and to any assignee on record at the
Home Office. The notice will state the amount that must be repaid to keep the
policy in force.

9.4 ALLOCATION OF LOANS

Except when this policy is in force as fixed benefit paid-up insurance, a loan
will be allocated between Policy Value and variable paid-up additional insurance
in proportion to the amount of cash value attributable to Policy Value and the
cash value of variable paid-up additional insurance. On the date a loan is made,
or on the date unpaid interest is added to the loan, the amounts invested for
this policy in each Division will be reduced in proportion to the amounts in
each Division. On the date a loan repayment is made, the amounts invested for
this policy in each Division will be increased in proportion to the amounts in
each Division.

                                       27

<PAGE>

9.5 LOAN INTEREST

Interest accrues and is payable on a daily basis from the date of the loan on
loans requested by the Owner and from the premium due date on loans to pay
premiums. Unpaid interest is added to the loan.

The Specified Rate loan interest option or the Variable Rate loan interest
option is elected on the application. The Owner may change this election at any
time, but the change will not take effect until the January 1st following
receipt of a written request at the Company's Home Office.

9.6 SPECIFIED RATE LOAN INTEREST OPTION

Interest is payable at an annual effective rate of 5%.

9.7 VARIABLE RATE LOAN INTEREST OPTION

Interest is payable at an annual effective rate that is set by the Company
annually and applied to new or outstanding policy debt during the year beginning
each January 1. The highest loan interest rate that may be set by the Company is
the greater of:

.. a rate 1% higher than the rate shown on page 8 used to calculate tabular
values; and

.. a rate based on the Corporate Bond Yield Averages -- Monthly Average
Corporates for the immediately preceding October. This Average is published by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. If it is no longer published, the highest loan
interest rate will be based on some other similar average established by the
insurance supervisory official of the state in which this policy is delivered.

The loan interest rate set by the Company will not exceed the maximum rate
permitted by the laws of the state in which this policy is delivered. The loan
interest rate will not be changed unless the change in the annual effective rate
is at least 1/2%.

The Company will give notice:

.. of the initial loan interest rate in effect at the time a policy loan is made.

.. of an increase in loan interest rate on outstanding policy debt no later than
30 days before the January 1st on which the increase takes effect.

This policy will not terminate during a policy year as the sole result of an
increase in the loan interest rate during that policy year.

9.8 WITHDRAWALS

The Owner may make a withdrawal of Policy Value. A fee may be charged subject to
the maximum shown on page 7. However, the Owner may not:

.. withdraw more than the Excess Amount less the surrender charge shown on page
4;

.. withdraw an amount which would reduce the loan value to less than the policy
debt;

.. withdraw less than the minimum withdrawal amount shown on page 4; or

.. make more than four withdrawals in a policy year.

Any withdrawal from Policy Value will be allocated between the Divisions in
proportion to the amount attributable to each Division.

                         SECTION 10. EXCHANGE OF POLICY

Within 24 months after the Date of Issue shown on page 3, provided premiums are
duly paid, the

                                       28

<PAGE>

Owner may exchange this policy without evidence of insurability for a fixed
benefit life insurance policy on the life of the Insured. The new policy will be
on a form determined by the Company to be similar to this policy.

To effect the change the Owner must send this policy, a completed application
for change, and any required payment to the Home Office of the Company. The
change will be effective on the later of the date of the application or the date
the required items are received at the Home Office.

The new policy will have the same initial guaranteed death benefit, policy date
and issue age as this one, and the premiums and cash values will be the same as
those for whole life policies issued on the Date of Issue of this policy.

Any additional benefit included in this policy will be included with the new
policy only to the extent that such provisions were being offered with the new
policy on the Date of Issue of this policy.

                                       29

<PAGE>

                            SECTION 11. BENEFICIARIES

11.1 DEFINITION OF BENEFICIARIES

The term "beneficiaries" as used in this policy includes direct beneficiaries,
contingent beneficiaries and further payees.

11.2 NAMING AND CHANGE OF BENEFICIARIES

By Owner. The Owner may name and change the beneficiaries of death proceeds:

.. while the Insured is living.

.. during the first 60 days after the date of death of the Insured, if the
Insured was not the Owner immediately prior to the lnsured's death. A change
made during this 60 days may not be revoked.

By Direct Beneficiary. A direct beneficiary may name and change the contingent
beneficiaries and further payees of the direct beneficiary's share of the
proceeds:

.. if the direct beneficiary is the Owner;

.. if, at any time after the death of the Insured, no contingent beneficiary or
further payee of that share is living; or

.. if, after the death of the Insured, the direct beneficiary elects a payment
plan. The interest of any other beneficiary in the share of that direct
beneficiary will end.

These direct beneficiary rights are subject to the Owner's rights during the 60
days after the date of death of the Insured.

By Spouse (Marital Deduction Provision).

.. Power To Appoint. The spouse of the Insured will have the power alone and in
all events to appoint all amounts payable to the spouse under the policy if:

a. immediately before the Insured's death, the Insured was the Owner; and

b. the spouse is a direct beneficiary; and

c. the spouse survives the Insured.

.. To Whom Spouse Can Appoint. Under this power, the spouse can appoint:

a. to the estate of the spouse; or

b. to any other persons as contingent beneficiaries and further payees.

.. Effect Of Exercise. As to the amounts appointed, the exercise of this power
will:

a. revoke any other designation of beneficiaries;

b. revoke any election of payment plan as it applies to them; and

c. cause any provision to the contrary in Section 11 or 12 of this policy to be
of no effect.

Effective Date. A naming or change of a beneficiary will be made on receipt at
the Home Office of a written request that is acceptable to the Company. The
request will then take effect as of the date that it was signed. The Company is
not responsible for any payment or other action that is taken by it before the
receipt of the request. The Company may require that the policy be sent to it to
be endorsed to show the naming or change.

11.3 SUCCESSION IN INTEREST OF BENEFICIARIES

Direct Beneficiaries. The proceeds of this policy will be payable in equal
shares to the direct beneficiaries who survive and receive payment. If a direct
beneficiary dies before receiving all or part of the direct beneficiary's full
share, the unpaid portion will be payable in equal shares to the other

                                       30

<PAGE>

direct beneficiaries who survive and receive payment.

Contingent Beneficiaries. At the death of all of the direct beneficiaries, the
proceeds, or the present value of any unpaid payments under a payment plan, will
be payable in equal shares to the contingent beneficiaries who survive and
receive payment. If a contingent beneficiary dies before receiving all or part
of the contingent beneficiary's full share, the unpaid portion will be payable
in equal shares to the other contingent beneficiaries who survive and receive
payment.

Further Payees. At the death of all of the direct and contingent beneficiaries,
the proceeds, or the present value of any unpaid payments under a payment plan,
will be paid in one sum:

.. in equal shares to the further payees who survive and receive payment; or

.. if no further payees survive and receive payment, to the estate of the last to
die of all of the direct and contingent beneficiaries who survive the Insured.

Owner Or The Owner's Estate. If no beneficiaries are alive when the Insured
dies, the proceeds will be paid to the Owner or to the Owner's estate.

11.4 GENERAL

Transfer Of Ownership. A transfer of ownership of itself will not change the
interest of a beneficiary.

Claims Of Creditors. So far as allowed by law, no amount payable under this
policy will be subject to the claims of creditors of a beneficiary.

Succession Under Payment Plans. A direct or contingent beneficiary who succeeds
to an interest in a payment plan will continue under the terms of the plan.

                                       31

<PAGE>

                     SECTION 12. PAYMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS

12.1 PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS

Death proceeds will be paid under the payment plan that takes effect on the date
of death of the Insured. The Interest Income Plan (Option A) will be in effect
if no payment plan has been elected. Interest will accumulate from the date of
death until a payment plan is elected or the proceeds are withdrawn in cash.

Surrender proceeds will be paid in cash or under a payment plan that is elected.

12.2 PAYMENT PLANS

Interest Income Plan (Option A). The proceeds will earn interest which may be
received each month or accumulated. The first payment is due one month after the
date on which the plan takes effect. Interest that has accumulated may be
withdrawn at any time. Part or all of the proceeds may be withdrawn at any time.

Installment Income Plans. Payments will be made each month on the terms of the
plan that is elected. The first payment is due on the date that the plan takes
effect.

.. Specified Period (Option B). The proceeds with interest will be paid over a
period of from one to 30 years. The present value of any unpaid installments may
be withdrawn at any time.

.. Specified Amount (Option D). Payments of not less than $10 per $1,000 of
proceeds will be made until all of the proceeds with interest have been paid.
The balance may be withdrawn at any time.

Life Income Plans. Payments will be made each month on the terms of the plan
that is elected. The first payment is due on the date that the plan takes
effect. Proof of the date of birth, acceptable to the Company, must be furnished
for each person on whose life the payments are based.

.. Single Life Income (Option C). Payments will be made for a chosen period and,
after that, for the life of the person on whose life the payments are based. The
choices for the period are:

a. zero years;

b. 10 years;

c. 20 years; or

d. a refund period which continues until the sum of the payments that have been
made is equal to the proceeds that were placed under the plan.

.. Joint And Survivor Life Income (Option E). Payments are based on the lives of
two persons. Level payments will be made for a period of 10 years and, after
that, for as long as one or both of the persons are living.

.. Other Selections. The Company may offer other selections under the Life Income
Plans.

.. Withdrawal. The present value of any unpaid payments that are to be made for
the chosen period (Option C) or the 10 year period (Option E) may be withdrawn
only after the death of all of the persons on whose lives the payments are
based.

.. Limitations. A direct or contingent beneficiary who is a natural person may be
paid under a Life Income Plan only if the payments depend on that beneficiary's
life. A corporation may be paid under a Life Income Plan only if the payments
depend on the life of the Insured or, after the death of the Insured, on the
life of the Insured's spouse or dependent.

Payment Frequency. On request, payments will be made once every 3, 6 or 12
months instead of each month.

Transfer Between Payment Plans. A beneficiary who is receiving payment under a
plan which includes the right to withdraw may transfer the amount withdrawable
to any other plan that is available.

                                       32

<PAGE>

Minimum Payment. The Company may limit the election of a payment plan to one
that results in payments of at least $50.

If payments under a payment plan are or become less than $50, the Company may
change the frequency of payments. If the payments are being made once every 12
months and are less than $50, the Company may pay the present value or the
balance of the payment plan.

12.3 PAYMENT PLAN RATES

Interest Income And Installment Income Plans. Proceeds will earn interest at
rates declared each year by the Company. None of these rates will be less than
an annual effective rate of 2%. Interest of more than 2% will increase the
amount of the payments or, for the Specified Amount Plan (Option D), increase
the number of payments. The present value of any unpaid installments will be
based on the 2% rate of interest.

The Company may offer guaranteed rates of interest higher than 2% with
conditions on withdrawal.

Life Income Plans. Payments will be based on rates declared by the Company.
These rates will provide at least as much income as would the Company's rates,
on the date that the payment plan takes effect, for a single premium immediate
annuity contract. Payments under these rates will not be less than the amounts
that are described in Minimum Payment Rates.

Minimum Payment Rates. The minimum payment rates for the Installment Income
Plans (Options B and D) and the Life Income Plans (Options C and E) are shown in
the Minimum Payment Rate Tables.

The Life Income Plan payment rates in those tables depend on the adjusted age of
each person on whose life the payments are based. The adjusted age is:

.. the age on the birthday that is nearest to the date on which the payment plan
takes effect; plus

.. the age adjustment shown below for the number of policy years that have
elapsed from the Policy Date to the date that the payment plan takes effect. A
part of a policy year is counted as a full year.

12.4 EFFECTIVE DATE FOR PAYMENT PLAN

A payment plan that is elected will take effect on the date of death of the
Insured if:

.. the plan is elected by the Owner; and

.. the election is received at the Home Office while the Insured is living.

In all other cases, a payment plan that is elected will take effect:

.. on the date the election is received at the Home Office; or

.. on a later date, if requested.

12.5 PAYMENT PLAN ELECTIONS

For Death Proceeds By Owner. The Owner may elect payment plans for death
proceeds:

.. while the Insured is living.

.. during the first 60 days after the date of death of the Insured, if the
Insured was not the Owner immediately prior to the Insured's death. An election
made during this 60 days may not be changed.

For Death Proceeds By Direct Or Contingent Beneficiary. A direct or contingent
beneficiary may elect payment plans for death proceeds payable to that
beneficiary, if no payment plan that has been elected is in effect. This right
is subject to the Owner's rights during the 60 days after the date of death of

                                       33

the Insured.

For Surrender Proceeds. The Owner may elect payment plans for surrender
proceeds. The Owner will be the direct beneficiary.

12.6 INCREASE OF MONTHLY INCOME

A direct beneficiary who is to receive proceeds under a payment plan may
increase the amount of the monthly payment. This is done by the payment of an
annuity premium to the Company at the time the payment plan elected under
Section 12.5 takes effect. The amount that will be applied under the payment
plan will be the net premium. The net premium is the annuity premium less a
charge of not more than 2% and less any premium tax. The net premium will be
applied under the same payment plan and at the same rates as the proceeds. The
Company may limit this net premium to an amount that is equal to the direct
beneficiary's share of the proceeds payable under this policy.

                           CHANGE OF INSURED PROVISION

As of the Date of Issue, the policy is amended to include the following
provision:

     Change. The Owner may change the insured under this policy by:

     .    paying the required costs; and

     .    meeting any other conditions set by the Company, including the
          following:

          a.   on the date of change, the new insured's age may not be more than
               69;

          b.   the new insured must have been born on or before the Policy Date
               of this policy;

          c.   the new insured must be insurable; and

          d.   the Owner must have an insurable interest in the life of the new
               insured.

     Date of Change. The date of change will be the later of:

     .    the date of the request to change; or

     .    the date of the medical examination (or the non-medical application).

     Terms of Policy after Change. The policy will cover the new insured
     starting on the date of change. When coverage on the new insured starts,
     coverage on the prior insured will terminate.

     The contestable and suicide periods for the new insured start on the date
     of change.

     The amount of Additional Protection and the cash value of variable paid-up
additional insurance will not be affected by the change of insured. The Policy
Value will be reduced by an amount equal to the decrease, if any, in the
surrender charge after the change. The Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit will
equal the smaller of:

     .    an amount set so that the Policy Value after the change equals the
          tabular value of the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit; and

     .    the Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit before the change of insured.

     Any policy debt or assignment will continue after the change.

                   AMENDMENT TO SECTION 6 THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
                             FOR VARIABLE WHOLE LIFE

As of the Date of Issue, the second paragraph of Section 6.1 is amended to read
as follows:

The Separate Account has several Divisions, as shown on page 7. Assets of the
Separate Account are invested in shares of corresponding mutual funds or
portfolios of mutual funds, both of which are referred to in this policy as
Portfolios. Shares of the Portfolios are purchased for the Separate Account at
their net asset value. The Company may make available additional Divisions and
Portfolios.

As of the Date of Issue, the fifth and sixth paragraphs of Section 6.1 are
amended to read as follows:

The Owner may exchange this policy for a fixed benefit life insurance policy
being offered at that time by the Company if the Portfolio changes its
investment advisor or has a material change in its investment objectives or
restrictions. The Company will notify the Owner if there is any such change. The
Owner may exchange this policy within 60 days after the notice or the effective
date of the change, whichever is later.

If, in the judgment of the Company, a Portfolio no longer suits the purposes of
this policy due to a change in its investment objectives or restrictions, the
Company may substitute shares of another Portfolio. Any such substitution will
be subject to any required approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), the Wisconsin Commissioner of Insurance or other regulatory authority.
