Introduction

This is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy. The first premium
payment is due on the Policy Date. Subsequent premiums may be paid at any time
while this Policy is in effect, subject to conditions specified in the Premium
Payments section. In return for these premiums and the insurance application,
we provide certain benefits.

The Policy provides Life insurance Proceeds. Proceeds can be paid in a lump sum
or under an Optional Payment Plan.

During the Insured's life, the Policy has an Account Value. The Account Value
reflects the investment experience of the Separate Account. (See THE SEPARATE
ACCOUNT section.) This Account Value is the basis for certain benefits you can
use before the Insured's death.

We will provide a projection of illustrative future life insurance and Account
Value proceeds. To receive the illustration, send a written request to our Home
Office and pay any service fee in effect at that time, but not more than $25
per illustration.

The illustration will assume:

. amounts of insurance;

. coverage options;

. future premium payments you specify; and

. other assumptions specified by you or by us.

THE POLICY AND ITS PARTS

The Policy is a legal contract. It is the entire contract between you and us.
An agent cannot change this contract. Any change to it must be in writing and
approved by us. Only our President or one of our Vice-Presidents can give our
approval.

We will not use any statement in the original application to deny a claim
unless a copy of that application was attached to this Policy when issued or
delivered. We will not use any statement in a supplemental application to deny
a claim unless a copy of that application was sent to you when the change in
coverage went into effect. We will not use any statement in a reinstatement
application to deny a claim unless a copy of the reinstatement application was
sent to you when the Policy was reinstated.

When This Policy Will Terminate

READ YOUR POLICY CAREFULLY.

All coverage under this Policy will terminate when:

. you request that coverage terminate and you return this Policy;

. the insured dies; or

. the grace period ends without sufficient premium being paid.

This Policy will also terminate as stated in the Suicide provision.

<PAGE>

THE OWNER AND THE BENEFICIARY

THE OWNER

You have rights in the Policy during the Insured's life. The Policy names you
or someone else as the Insured. If you are not the Insured, you should name a
contingent owner who will become the Owner if you die before the Insured. If
you die before the Insured and there is no contingent owner, ownership passes
to your estate.

THE BENEFICIARY

You may name primary and contingent Beneficiaries. Your original Beneficiary
choice is shown in the attached application. Unless an Optional Payment Plan is
chosen, the proceeds payable at the Insured's death will be paid in a lump sum
to the primary Beneficiary. If the primary Beneficiary dies before the Insured,
the proceeds will be paid to the contingent Beneficiary. If no Beneficiary
survives the Insured, the proceeds will be paid to you or your estate.

You may name more than one primary or contingent Beneficiary. If you do, the
proceeds will be paid in equal shares to the survivors in the appropriate
Beneficiary class, unless you have requested otherwise.

CHANGING THE OWNER OR BENEFICIARY

During the Insured's life, you may change the Owner. You may also change the
Beneficiary during the Insured's life if you reserved this right.

How to Change the Owner or Beneficiary. To make a change, send a written
request to our Home Office. The request must be received by us in a form
satisfactory to us. The change will take effect as of the date you sign the
request. The change will be subject to any payment we make before we record the
change.

USING THE POLICY AS COLLATERAL FOR A LOAN

This Policy may be assigned as collateral security. We must be notified in
writing if you assign the Policy. Any payment we make before we record the
assignment at our Home Office will not be affected. We are not responsible for
the validity of an assignment. Your rights and the rights of a Beneficiary may
be affected by an assignment.

TRUSTEE

If a trustee is named as the Owner or Beneficiary of this Policy and
subsequently exercises ownership rights or claims benefits hereunder, we will
have no obligation to verify that a trust is in effect or that the trustee is
acting within the scope of his/her authority. Payment of policy benefits to the
trustee will release us from all obligations under the Policy to the extent of
the payment. When we make a payment to the trustee, we will have no obligation
to ensure that such payment is applied according to the terms of the trust
agreement.

15
<PAGE>

Premium Payments

This Policy's first premium is due on the Policy Date.

PREMIUMS AFTER THE FIRST PREMIUM

Any premium payments after the first premium may be made under a periodic plan
or at any time while this Policy is in effect.

Periodic Premium Plan. You may request that we send reminders of your Planned
Periodic Premium. You may choose to send premiums directly to us either
annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. We can also arrange for pre-authorized
payments from your bank account or similar facility either annually, semi-
annually, quarterly or monthly. Planned Periodic Premiums will be subject to
our rules on minimum amount.

You can change the frequency or amount of your Planned Periodic Premium. We
reserve the right to limit the amount of any increase in Planned Periodic
Premiums.

Unscheduled Payments. You can make an unscheduled premium payment at any time
while this Policy is in effect. Unscheduled payments are applied first to repay
any Policy Debt, unless you direct us otherwise. We reserve the right to limit
the number and amount of any unscheduled premium payments.

Maximum Premiums. We will limit the total of all premiums paid to date for this
Policy to the amounts shown in the table of maximum premiums in the policy data
pages. Any portion of a premium paid that causes the total of all premiums paid
to date to exceed the maximum premium will be returned to you along with any
earnings thereon. We reserve the right to change the table of maximum premiums
when necessary as a result of changes in coverage or to maintain compliance
with the Internal Revenue Code. If we do, we will send you a new table of
maximum premiums reflecting the adjusted amounts.

WHEN AND WHERE TO PAY PREMIUMS

Each premium is payable in advance. Send each premium to our Home Office. Make
the check or money order payable to GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company.

ALLOCATION OF NET PTEMIUMS

You may allocate the Net Premium to one or more Investment Subdivisions of the
Separate Account, but not to more than the maximum number of allocations shown
in the policy data pages. The minimum percentage of each Net Premium which may
be allocated to any particular Investment Subdivision is shown on the policy
data pages. Net Premiums will initially be allocated in accordance with the
allocations requested by you. You may change the allocation of Net Premiums at
any time, without charge, simply by sending written notice to us at our Home
Office. The changed allocation will apply to premiums received after we record
the change.

<PAGE>

CONTINUATION AMOUNT AND CONTINUATION PERIOD

On any Monthly Anniversary Day during the Continuation Period, if the Surrender
Value of this Policy is not sufficient to cover the monthly deduction, this
Policy will remain in effect if the Net Total Premium is at least equal to the
Continuation Amount.

At the end of the Continuation Period, you may have to pay an additional
premium to keep the Policy inforce. (See Insufficient Account Value provision.)

An increase in Specified Amount will increase the Continuation Amounts while a
decrease in Specified Amount will reduce the Continuation Amounts. Any
termination and subsequent reinstatement of the Policy will reduce the
Continuation Amounts. We will send you a supplemental policy data page
reflecting the adjusted amounts. The Continuation Period will be as though the
Policy had been in effect continuously from its original Policy Date.

GRACE PERIOD

On any Monthly Anniversary Day during the Continuation Period, if (1) the
Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover the monthly deduction, and (2) the
Net Total Premium is less than the Continuation Amount, you must pay a premium
sufficient to keep the Policy in effect or coverage will terminate. The amount
of the sufficient premium will equal the lesser of (a) and (b), where:

(a) equals the monthly deduction due minus the Surrender Value, and that result
divided by the Net Premium Factor; and

(b) equals the Continuation Amount minus the Net Total Premium.

All amounts in (a) and (b) above are as of the Monthly Anniversary Day at the
beginning of the grace period. The monthly deduction is described in the
ACCOUNT VALUE BENEFITS section.

On any Monthly Anniversary Day after the Continuation Period, if the Surrender
Value is not sufficient to cover the monthly deduction, you must pay a premium
sufficient to keep the Policy in effect or coverage will terminate. In this
case, the amount of the sufficient premium will equal the monthly deduction due
minus the Surrender Value, and that result divided by the Net Premium Factor.
As used in this paragraph, the monthly deduction due and the Surrender Value
are both as of the Monthly Anniversary Day at the beginning of the grace
period.

In either case, we will mail you written notice of the sufficient premium. This
notice will be sent to your last known address. You have a 61-day grace period
from the date we mail the notice to pay the sufficient premium.

Coverage continues during the 61-day grace period. If the Insured dies during
the grace period, proceeds will be reduced by the amount of the sufficient
premium (as

17
<PAGE>

described in this provision) that would have been required to keep the Policy
in effect.

If the sufficient premium is not paid by the end of the grace period, this
Policy will terminate without value.

How This Policy Can Be Reinstated

You may reinstate this Policy within three years of the end of the grace period
if:

(1) you submit an application for reinstatement;

(2) you provide required evidence of insurability satisfactory to us that the
Insured is insurable;

(3) the Policy has not been surrendered for cash; and

(4) you pay the premium as described in this section.

The Policy will be reinstated effective on the date we approve the
reinstatement. The surrender charge and the Continuation Period will be as
though the Policy had been in effect continuously from its original Policy
Date.

On the date of reinstatement, the Account Value will be allocated to the
Investment Subdivisions of the Separate Account. Unless you tell us otherwise,
these allocations will be made in the same manner that Net Premiums are
allocated.

If this Policy terminates and is reinstated before the end of the Continuation
Period, you will have to pay an amount equal to (1) minus (2) minus (3) plus
(4), where:

(1) is the Continuation Amount as of the date of reinstatement;

(2) is the sum of the monthly deductions that would have been made during the
period between termination and reinstatement, divided by the Net Premium
Factor;

(3) is the Net Total Premium on the date of termination; and

(4) is an amount sufficient to keep the Policy in effect for two Policy Months
after the date of reinstatement.

On the date of reinstatement, the Account Value will equal (a) plus (b) minus
(c), where:

(a) is the Account Value on the first day of the grace period;

(b) is the premium paid to reinstate multiplied by the Net Premium Factor; and

18
<PAGE>

If this Policy terminates before the end of the Continuation Period, and is
reinstated after the end of the Continuation Period, you will have to pay a
premium which, after multiplying by the Net Premium Factor, equals (1) plus (2)
minus (3), where:

(1) is the surrender charge on the date of termination; and

(2) is an amount equal to the monthly deductions for two months after the date
of reinstatement; and

(3) is the Account Value on the date of termination.

On the date of reinstatement, the Account Value will equal (a) plus (b) plus
(c), where:

(a) is the surrender charge in effect on the date of reinstatement;

(b) is an amount equal to the monthly deductions for the two months after the
date of reinstatement, minus the monthly deduction for the month following
the date of reinstatement; and

If this Policy terminates after the end of the Continuation Period and is
reinstated, you will have to pay a premium sufficient to keep the Policy in
effect for at least two months.

On the date of reinstatement, the Account Value will equal (a) plus (b) minus
(c), where:

(a) is the surrender charge in effect on the date of reinstatement;

(b) is the premium paid to reinstate multiplied by the Net Premium Factor; and

19
<PAGE>

Life Insurance Proceeds

Life Insurance Proceeds are payable at the death of the Insured. We will pay
the Life Insurance Proceeds on this Policy when we receive:

. this Policy;

. due proof that the Insured died while this Policy was in effect; and

. proof of the interest of the claimant.

Proceeds can be paid in a lump sum or under an Optional Payment Plan.

HOW WE DETERMINE PROCEEDS

In the application for original coverage, the Owner elected one of two death
benefit options.

Under Option A, Life insurance Proceeds are based on the greater of (1) and
(2), where:

(1)is the Specified Amount plus the Account Value; and

(2)is the Account Value multiplied by the corridor percentage.

Under Option B, Life Insurance Proceeds are based on the greater of (1) and
(2), where:

(1) is the Specified Amount; and

(2) is the Account Value multiplied by the corridor percentage.

For both Option A and Option B, references to Specified Amount and Account
Value in items (1) and (2), are amounts in effect on the date of death.

In no event will Life insurance Proceeds be less than the amount required to
keep the Policy qualified as life insurance.

The corridor percentage will depend on the Attained Age of the Insured on the
date of death. (See the corridor percentage chart in this section.)

Actual Amount of Proceeds. The actual amount of proceeds will depend on:

. the Life Insurance Proceeds as determined in this section;

. the use of the Account Value; any partial surrenders;

. any Policy Debt;

. any additional insurance provided by rider;

. any increase or decrease in existing coverage;

. the Insured's suicide during the first two policy years;

. and a misstatement of the Insured's Age or sex.

COMPLIANCE AS LIFE INSURANCE

We reserve the right to amend this Policy as necessary to maintain compliance
with the Internal Revenue Code. We will send any such amendments to you. You
have the right to refuse such amendments and accept full responsibility for any
consequences as a result of such refusal.

CHANGE TO EXISTING COVERAGE

After the Policy has been in effect for one year, you can increase or decrease
the Specified Amount. To make a change, send a written request along with the
Policy to our Home Office.

Decrease in Specified Amount. Any decrease will become effective on the Monthly
Anniversary Day after the date we receive the request. The decrease will first
apply to coverage provided by the most recent increase, then to the next most
recent increases successively, then to the coverage provided under the original
application.

During the Continuation Period, we will not allow a decrease unless the Account
Value less any Policy Debt is greater than the surrender charge. A decrease may
not cause the Specified Amount to be less than the minimum Specified Amount
shown on the policy data pages. A decrease may cause a surrender charge to be
assessed and may require a payment to you to keep the Policy qualified as life
insurance. If this event occurs, we will send you revised policy data pages.
(See Surrender Charge on Decrease in Specified Amount in the Surrender
provision.)

Increase in Specified Amount. You must apply for an increase in Specified
Amount on a supplemental application. You will have to submit evidence
satisfactory to us that the Insured is insurable.

21
<PAGE>

Any approved increase will become effective on the date shown in the
supplemental policy data pages, provided that there is sufficient Account Value
to cover the first monthly deduction following the increase. (See Monthly
Deduction provision.)

CHANGE IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS

If you elected death benefit Option A, you can request a change to death
benefit Option B. The Specified Amount after the change will equal the sum of
(1) plus (2), where:

(1)is the Specified Amount on the date your request becomes effective; and

(2)is the Account Value on the date your request becomes effective.

If you elected death benefit Option B, you can request a change to death
benefit Option A. This will decrease the Specified Amount by the amount of
Account Value.

Any change in death benefit options will become effective on the first Monthly
Anniversary Day after the date we receive the request in our Home Office.

22
<PAGE>

The Separate Account

The Separate Account supports the operation of this Policy and certain other
variable life insurance policies we may offer. We will not allocate assets to
the Separate Account to support the operation of any contracts or policies that
are not variable life insurance.

We own the assets in the Separate Account. These assets are held separately
from our other assets and are not part of our General Account.

The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Separate Account is also subject to laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia which
regulate the operations of insurance companies incorporated in Virginia. The
investment policy of the Separate Account will not be changed without the
approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The
approval process is on file with the Insurance Commissioner of the state in
which this Policy was delivered.

INSULATION OF ASSETS

The portion of the assets of the Separate Account which equals the reserves and
other policy liabilities of the policies which are supported by the Separate
Account will not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business we
conduct. We have the right to transfer to our General Account any assets of the
Separate Account which are in excess of such reserves and other policy
liabilities.

INVESTMENT SUBDIVISIONS

The Separate Account is divided into Investment Subdivisions. The income, gains
and losses, realized or unrealized, from the assets allocated to an Investment
Subdivision are credited to or charged against such Investment Subdivision
without regard to other income, gains or losses of the Company.

The Investment Subdivisions available under this Policy are shown in the policy
data pages. Each Investment Subdivision in the Separate Account invests
exclusively in shares of a designated portfolio of a series type of mutual fund
("a Fund"). Any amounts of income, dividends and gains distributed from the
shares of a Fund are reinvested in additional shares of that Fund.

CHANGES TO THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND INVESTMENT SUBDIVISIONS

Where permitted by applicable law, the Company may:

1. create new separate accounts;

2. combine separate accounts, including the Separate Account;

23
<PAGE>

3. transfer assets of the Separate Account, which we determine to be
associated with the class of policies to which this Policy belongs, to
another separate account;

4. add new Investment Subdivisions to or remove existing Investment
Subdivisions from the Separate Account or combine Investment Subdivisions;

5. make Investment Subdivisions (including new Investment Subdivisions)
available to such classes of policies as we may determine;

6. add new Funds or remove existing Funds;

7. substitute new Funds for any existing Fund whose shares are no longer
available for investment;

8. substitute new Funds for any existing Fund which we determine is no longer
appropriate in light of the purposes of the Separate Account;

9. deregister the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
and

10. operate the Separate Account under the direction of a committee or in any
other form permitted by law.

In the event of any substitution or change, we may, by appropriate endorsement,
make such changes in this and other policies as may be necessary or appropriate
to reflect the substitution or change.

VALUATION OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS

We will value the assets of the Separate Account each Valuation Day at their
fair market value in accordance with accepted accounting practices and
applicable laws and regulations.

POLICY EXCHANGE

If you object to a material change in the investment policy of the Separate
Account or any Investment Subdivision, you have the right to exchange this
Policy for a fixed benefit policy. No evidence of insurability will be
required. We will notify you of the options available, and the procedures to
follow if you decide to make an exchange. You must make an exchange within
sixty days after the change in investment policy becomes effective. There will
always be one policy available for exchange.

UNIT VALUE

Each Investment Subdivision has a Unit Value. When Net Premiums or other
amounts are transferred into an Investment Subdivision, a number of units are
purchased

24
<PAGE>

based on that Investment Subdivision's Unit Value as of the end of the
Valuation Period during which the transfer is made. Likewise, when amounts are
transferred out of an Investment Subdivision, units are redeemed in a similar
manner.

The Unit Value of each Investment Subdivision was arbitrarily set when the
Investment Subdivision began operations. The Unit Value for each subsequent
Valuation Period is the net investment factor for that period, multiplied by
the Unit Value for the immediately preceding period. The Unit Value for a
Valuation Period applies to each day in the period.

Each Investment Subdivision has its own net investment factor. In the following
definition, "assets" refers to the assets in each Investment Subdivision. "Any
amount charged against the Separate Account" refers to those amounts that are
allocated to each Investment Subdivision.

The net investment factor for a Valuation Period is (a) divided by (b), minus
(c), where:

(a) is the result of:

1. the value of the assets at the end of the preceding Valuation Period;
plus

2. the investment income and capital gains, realized or unrealized,
credited to those assets at the end of the Valuation Period for which
the net investment factor is being determined; minus

3. the capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged against those assets
during the Valuation Period; minus

4. any amount charged against the Separate Account for taxes, or any amount
we set aside during the Valuation Period as a provision for taxes
attributable to the operation or maintenance of the Separate Account;
and

(b) is the value of the assets in the Investment Subdivision at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period; and

Transfers

You may transfer Account Value among the Investment Subdivisions of the
Separate Account. The transfer will be effective as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which we receive your request at our Home Office. You must
request a transfer in writing or in any other form acceptable to us. We reserve
the right to limit the number of transfers to twelve each calendar year. The
first transfer in each calendar month

25
<PAGE>

will be made without a transfer charge. A transfer charge will be imposed for
each subsequent transfer in a calendar month. This transfer charge is shown on
the policy data pages. When we make transfers, the Account Value on the date of
the transfer will not be affected by the transfer except to the extent of the
transfer charge. The transfer charge will be taken from the amount transferred.

26
<PAGE>

Account Value Benefits

HOW WE DETERMINE ACCOUNT VALUE

At the end of the Valuation Period during which the first premium is received,
the Account Value in each Investment Subdivision is equal to (a) minus (b),
where:

(a) is the portion of the Net Premium which has been paid and allocated to that
Investment Subdivision; and

(b) is the portion of any due and unpaid monthly deductions allocated to the
Account Value in that investment Subdivision.

At the end of each Valuation Period after such date, the Account Value
allocated to each Investment Subdivision of the Separate Account is (1) plus
(2) plus (3) minus (4) minus (5) minus (6), where:

(1) is the Account Value allocated to the Investment Subdivision at the end of
the preceding Valuation Period, multiplied by the Investment Subdivision's
net investment factor for the current Valuation Period;

(2) is Net Premiums received during the current Valuation Period and which are
allocated to the Investment Subdivision;

(3) is any other amount transferred into the investment Subdivision during the
current Valuation Period;

(4) is any partial surrender made from the Investment Subdivision during the
current Valuation Period;

(5) is any Account Value transferred out of the Investment Subdivision during
the current Valuation Period;

(6) any monthly deduction allocated to the Investment Subdivision during the
current Valuation Period.

HOW WE DETERMINE NET PREMIUM

To calculate the Net Premium, multiply the premium paid times the Net Premium
Factor.

The minimum Net Premium Factor is shown on the policy data pages. We may use a
Net Premium Factor greater than the minimum Net Premium Factor at our sole
discretion.

MONTHLY DEDUCTION

The monthly deduction is a charge made on the Policy Date and each Policy Month
thereafter against the Account Value. It is determined by adding the cost of
insurance, the cost of additional benefits provided by rider, and the monthly
policy

27
<PAGE>

charge. The monthly deduction for the month when an increase in the Specified
Amount becomes effective will include the increase charge per $1000 for each
$1000 of increase.

The actual monthly policy charge will never be greater than the maximum monthly
policy charge shown on the policy data pages. The increase charge per $1,000 is
also shown on the policy data pages.

The monthly deduction for a Policy Month will be allocated among the Investment
Subdivisions of the Separate Account in the same proportion that the Policy's
Account Value in each Investment Subdivision bears to the total Account Value
in all Investment Subdivisions at the beginning of the Policy Month.

COST OF INSURANCE

The cost of insurance is calculated on each Monthly Anniversary Day and is
based on the net amount at risk. The net amount at risk is calculated by
dividing the Life Insurance Proceeds by 1.0032737, and then subtracting the
Account Value. To determine the cost of insurance for a particular Policy
Month, we divide the net amount at risk by 1000 and multiply that result by the
applicable cost of insurance rate. If Option B is in effect, and the Specified
Amount has increased, the Account Value is first considered part of the initial
Specified Amount. If the Account Value is more than the initial Specified
Amount, it will be considered part of the increased Specified Amounts resulting
from increases in the order of the increases.

Cost of lnsurance Rate. The monthly rate is based on the Insured's sex, issue
age, policy duration and risk class. The risk class (and therefore the rates)
will be determined separately for the initial Specified Amount and for any
increase in the Specified Amount that requires evidence of insurability. The
rates are determined by us according to our expectations of future experience
for mortality, lapse, taxes, interest, and expenses. We can change the rates
from time to time, but they will never be more than the maximum rates shown in
the table of guaranteed maximum insurance rates. A change in rates will apply
to all persons of the same age, sex and risk class and whose policies have been
in effect for the same length of time.

INSUFFICIENT ACCOUNT VALUE

On a Monthly Anniversary Day, if the Account Value less the surrender charge
and less any Policy Debt is not enough to cover the monthly deduction for that
Monthly Anniversary Day, the Grace Period provision will apply.

28
<PAGE>

CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE

This Policy and any riders will remain in effect:

. as long as the Account Value less the surrender charge and less any Policy
Debt covers the monthly deduction; or

. as provided for in the Continuation Amount and Continuation Period provision
under PREMIUM PAYMENTS.

A rider attached to this Policy will not continue beyond its termination date
under any circumstances.

SURRENDER

You can make a full or partial surrender of this Policy by sending a written
request and the Policy to our Home Office. Unless an Optional Payment Plan is
chosen, any proceeds payable will be paid to you in a lump sum. A surrender
must take place during the Insured's life.

Amount Payable on Surrender. The Surrender Value of this Policy is the Account
Value on the date we receive your request for surrender in our Home Office less
any Policy Debt and less any surrender charge that applies.

Surrender Charge. We will charge a surrender charge during the surrender charge
period in the case of a full surrender of this Policy, and for decreases in
Specified Amount as described below. The amount of surrender charge is shown in
the policy data pages. The surrender charge period is the period of Policy
Months for which a surrender charge is shown in the policy data pages.

Surrender Charge on Decrease in Specified Amount. If the Specified Amount is
decreased to less than the smallest Specified Amount that had previously been
in effect, we may charge a surrender charge. The amount of surrender charge
will be the charge for a full surrender, multiplied by the ratio of (a) to (b),
where:

(a) is the smallest Specified Amount that was in effect prior to the current
decrease, minus the Specified Amount after the current decrease; and

(b) is the smallest Specified Amount that was in effect prior to the current
decrease.

Surrender charges in effect prior to the decrease will be adjusted to reflect
any assessments made.

Partial Surrender. You can make a partial surrender of this Policy. A partial
surrender cannot be less than $500. A partial surrender cannot exceed the
lesser of:

. the Surrender Value, less $500; or

. the available loan amount.

29
<PAGE>

We generally will reduce both the Account Value and the Life Insurance Proceeds
by the amount of any partial surrender. A partial surrender will not be
permitted during the first policy year if death benefit Option B is in effect.

You may tell us how to allocate the partial surrender among the Investment
Subdivisions of the Separate Account. If you do not, the partial surrender will
be allocated among each Investment Subdivision in the same proportion that the
Policy's Account Value in each Investment Subdivision bears to the total
Account Value in all investment Subdivisions on the date we receive the request
in our Home Office.

We will deduct a charge from the amount of each partial surrender. This charge
will equal the lesser of (i) $25, or (ii) 2% of the amount of the partial
surrender.

RECEIVING THE SURRENDER VALUE

The Surrender Value is payable in one lump sum unless you choose to receive
periodic payments under an Optional Payment Plan.

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

We will usually pay any amounts payable as a result of surrender, partial
surrender, or policy loan within seven days after we receive written request in
our Home Office, in a form satisfactory to us. We will usually pay any Life
insurance Proceeds within seven days after we receive due proof of death.

Payment of any amount payable on surrender, partial surrender, policy loan or
Life Insurance Proceeds may be postponed whenever:

. the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary week-end and
holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission; or

. the Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits postponement for the
protection of policyowners; or

. an emergency exists, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or
it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the net assets of
the Separate Account.

We have the right to defer payment which is derived from any amount recently
paid to us by check or draft, until we are satisfied the check or draft has
been paid by the bank on which it is drawn.

Loan Benefits

This Policy has loan benefits that are described below.

MAKING A POLICY LOAN

You may obtain a policy loan from us. This Policy is the only security
required. The maximum loan amount is 90% of the difference between (a) the
Account Value and (b) any surrender charge on the date of the loan. The
available loan amount is the maximum loan amount less any outstanding Policy
Debt.

When a policy loan is made, an amount of Account Value sufficient to secure the
loan is transferred out of the Separate Account and into our General Account.
You may tell us how to allocate that Account Value among the Investment
Subdivisions of the Separate Account. If you do not, that Account Value will be
aliocated among each Investment Subdivision in the same proportion that the
Policy's Account Value in each Investment Subdivision bears to the total
Account Value in all Investment Subdivisions on the date we make the loan.

Any loan transaction will permanently affect the values of the Policy.

POLICY LOAN INTEREST

The interest rate paid on policy loans is shown on the policy data pages.
Interest accrues daily, and is due and payable on each policy anniversary. If
interest is not paid when due, an amount equal to the amount owed will be
transferred out of the Separate Account to become part of the Policy Debt and
interest will be charged on that amount. Interest transferred out of the
Separate Account will be transferred from each Investment Subdivision in the
same proportion that the Account Value in that Investment Subdivision bears to
the total Account Value in all Investment Subdivisions at the time of interest
transfer.

PREFERRED POLICY DEBT

Account Value in the General Account will earn interest daily at a minimum
annual rate of 4%. On each policy anniversary day, the interest earned since
the preceding policy anniversary day will be transferred into the Separate
Account. Unless you tell us otherwise, this interest will be allocated to the
Investment Subdivisions in the same manner as Net Premiums.

A portion of policy loans taken and/or existing after the preferred loan
availability date (shown on the policy data pages) will be designated as
preferred policy debt. The amount of preferred policy debt is redetermined each
policy month. Borrowed Account Value that corresponds to preferred policy debt
will earn interest at no less than the minimum annual rate of 4%. At our sole
discretion, we may use an interest rate higher than the guaranteed interest
rate.

31
<PAGE>

Preferred policy debt will be at least as large as:

(a) the Account Value less any surrender charge that applies, minus

(b) the total premiums paid.

REPAYING POLICY DEBT

You can repay Policy Debt in part or in full any time during the Insured's life
while this Policy is in effect. Loan payments will first be applied to reduce
the portion of Policy Debt that does not correspond to preferred policy debt.

When a loan repayment is made, Account Value in the General Account related to
that payment will be transferred into the Separate Account. You may tell us how
to allocate this Account Value among each Investment Subdivision of the
Separate Account. If you do not, we will allocate that amount among the
Investment Subdivisions in the same proportion that Net Premiums are being
allocated.

If you do not repay Policy Debt, it will be deducted from any proceeds or
benefit payable at the Insured's death or on surrender. Any Policy Debt which
exists at the end of the 61-day grace period will be deducted from the Account
Value and considered repaid as of the date of termination.

MINIMUM LOAN PAYMENT

During the Continuation Period, if Policy Debt on any Monthly Anniversary Day
exceeds the Account Value less any surrender charge that applies, and the Net
Total Premium is less than the Continuation Amount, your Policy will enter a
61-day grace period. You will have the 61-day grace period to pay a minimum
loan payment equal to the lesser of (a) and (b), where:

(a) equals the amount by which Policy Debt exceeds the Account Value less any
surrender charge; and

(b) equals the Net Premium Factor times the difference between the Continuation
Amount and the Net Total Premium.

All amounts in (a) and (b) above are as of the Monthly Anniversary Day when
excess Policy Debt first occurs.

After the Continuation Period, if Policy Debt on any Monthly Anniversary Day
exceeds the Account Value less any surrender charge that applies, your Policy
will enter a 61-day grace period. In this case, you will have the 61-day grace
period to pay a minimum loan payment equal to the amount by which Policy Debt
exceeds the Account Value less any surrender charge. As used in this paragraph,
Policy Debt, Account Value and surrender charge are all as of the Monthly
Anniversary Day when excess Policy Debt first occurs.

32
<PAGE>

We will send written notice of the minimum loan payment to you and any assignee
of record at our Home Office at least 30 days prior to the date of termination.
If you do not pay the minimum loan payment by the end of the grace period, your
Policy will terminate without value.

33

General Information

ANNUAL STATEMENT

On each policy anniversary, we will send you an annual statement. The statement
will show the Specified Amount, the Account Value, the Surrender Value and
Policy Debt as of the policy anniversary. The statement will also show premiums
paid and charges made during the policy year.

CALCULATION OF VALUES

Our calculations of guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates are based on the
Commissioners' 1980 Standard Ordinary Smoker or Nonsmoker Mortality Table for
issue ages 15 and above. For issue ages O-14, they are based on the
Commissioner's 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables without distinction for
smoker or nonsmoker status, until attained age 15; then for attained ages 15
and over, they are based on the Commissioner's 1980 Standard Ordinary Nonsmoker
Mortality Table.

If this Policy or an increased Specified Amount is in a special rating class,
the guaranteed maximum insurance rates are increased in the manner described in
the table of guaranteed maximum insurance rates.

If the net investment factor is always equivalent to an effective annual
interest rate of 4%, the values in this Policy will always at least equal the
account values required of an equivalent general account policy by the law
where this Policy was delivered. A detailed statement of how we calculate the
values in this Policy has been filed with the insurance department where this
Policy was delivered.

EXCHANGE PROVISION

During the first 24 policy months, you have the right to exchange this Policy
for a permanent fixed benefit policy. We will not require evidence of
insurability. If you decide to make an exchange, we will notify you of the
policies available for exchange and the procedures to follow. You may elect to
have the amount of the new policy be either (a) or (b) where:

(a) is the Life Insurance Proceeds on the date of exchange, and

(b) is the Life Insurance Proceeds minus the Account Value on the date of
exchange.

The new policy will have the same policy date, sex, issue age and rating class
as this Policy. The new policy will include such riders and endorsements as
were included in this Policy, if such riders and endorsements are available
with the new policy.

The exchange is subject to an equitable adjustment in payments and Account
Values to reflect variances, if any, in the payments and Account Values under
the existing Policy and the new policy.

34
<PAGE>

LIMITS ON CONTESTING THIS POLICY

In deciding to issue this Policy, we relied on statements in the application
for the Policy. If we increase the Specified Amount or reinstate the Policy
after it lapses, we rely on statements in a supplemental application or a
reinstatement application. The statements in all such applications are
considered representations and not warranties.

We can contest this Policy, an increase in Specified Amount and/or a
reinstatement of this Policy, if:

. any material misrepresentation of fact was made in the application, a
supplemental application or a reinstatement application; and

. a copy of that application was attached to the Policy when issued or
delivered, or was made a part of the Policy when a change in coverage or
Policy reinstatement went into effect.

With respect to the original Specified Amount, we will not contest this Policy
after it has been in effect during the lifetime of the Insured for two years
from its policy date. We will not contest an increase in Specified Amount after
that increase has been in effect during the lifetime of the Insured for two
years from the effective date of the increase. We will not contest a
reinstatement of this Policy after the reinstated Policy has been in effect
during the lifetime of the insured for two years from the date of
reinstatement.

This provision does not apply to riders that provide disability benefits.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX

If the Insured's Age or sex was misstated in an application, Life Insurance
Proceeds will be adjusted. The Life Insurance Proceeds after adjustment will be
the sum of (a) and (b), where:

(a) is the Account Value at the time of the Insured's death; and

(b) is the unadjusted Life Insurance Proceeds, reduced by the Account Value at
the time of the insured's death, and multiplied by the ratio of (1) the
most recent monthly deduction based on the Age and sex shown in the
application, to (2) the most recent monthly deduction based on the true Age
or sex.

All amounts are those in effect, with respect to the insured, in the Policy
Month of the Insured's death.

In no event will Life Insurance Proceeds be less than the amount required to
keep the Policy qualified as life insurance.

NONPARTICIPATING

This is not a participating policy. No dividends are payable.

35
<PAGE>

SUICIDE

If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the
Policy Date, all coverage under the Policy will end, and we will pay a limited
amount of proceeds. The limited amount of proceeds will equal all premiums paid
on the Policy, less Policy Debt and partial surrenders.

If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, more than two years after
the policy date and within two years after an increase in the Specified Amount
became effective, the Specified Amount will be reduced to the amount in effect
prior to the increase. The amount payable with respect to the increase will
equal the monthly deductions that were made for that increase.

Any limited amount payable will be treated as Life Insurance Proceeds and paid
to the Beneficiary under the same conditions as the original Specified Amount.

WRITTEN NOTICE

Any written notice to us should be sent to our Home Office at 6610 West Broad
Street, Richmond, Virginia 23230. Please include the policy number and the
Insured's full name.

Any notice we send to you will be sent to your address shown in the
application. Notify us of any change of address.

36
<PAGE>

Optional Payment Plan

Life insurance or surrender value proceeds will be paid in one lump sum, unless
requested otherwise. Any part of the proceeds can be left with us and paid
under a payment plan. During the Insured's life, you can choose a plan. A
Beneficiary can choose a plan if you have not chosen one at the insured's
death.

There are several important payment plan rules:

. The payee under a plan cannot be a corporation, association or fiduciary.

. If you change a Beneficiary, your plan selection will no longer be in effect
unless you request that it continue.

. Any choice or change of a plan must be sent in writing to our Home Office.

. The amount of each payment under a plan must be at least $50.

. Payments will begin either on the date of death or on lapse, except for
payments under Plan 4 which begin at the end of the first interest period.

. Payments are backed by assets in our General Account.

Plan 1. Income for A Fixed Period. We will make equal periodic payments for a
fixed period, not longer than 30 years. Payments can be annual, semi-annual,
quarterly or monthly. Payments will be made according to the table in this
section. Guaranteed amounts payable under this plan will earn interest at 3%
compounded yearly. We may increase the interest and the amount of any payment.
If the payee dies, the amount of the remaining guaranteed payments will be
discounted to the date of the payee's death at a yearly rate of 3%. Discounted
means we will deduct the amount of interest each remaining payment would have
included had it not been paid out early. The discounted amount will be paid in
one sum to the payee's estate unless otherwise provided.

Plan 2. Life Income. We will make equal monthly payments for a guaranteed
minimum period. If the payee lives longer than the minimum period, payments
will continue for his or her life. The minimum period can be 1O, 15 or 20
years. Payments will be according to the table in this section. Guaranteed
amounts payable under this plan will earn interest at 3% compounded yearly. We
may increase the interest rate and the amount of any payment. If the payee dies
before the end of the guaranteed period, the amount of remaining payments for
the minimum period will be discounted at the same interest rate used to
calculate the monthly income. The discounted amounts will be paid in one sum to
the payee's estate unless otherwise provided.

Plan 3. Income of A Definite Amount. We will make equal periodic payments of a
definite amount. Payments can be annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly. The
amount paid each year must be at least $120 for each $1,000 of proceeds.
Payments will continue until the proceeds are exhausted. The last payment will
equal the amount of any unpaid proceeds. Unpaid proceeds will earn interest at
3% compounded yearly. We may increase the interest rate. If we do, the payment
period will be extended. If the payee dies, the amount of the remaining
proceeds with earned interest will be paid in one sum to his or her estate
unless otherwise provided.

37
<PAGE>

Plan 4. Interest Income. We will make periodic payments of interest earned from
the proceeds left with us. Payments can be annual, semi-annual, quarterly or
monthly, and will begin at the end of the first period chosen. Proceeds left
under this plan will earn interest at 3% compounded yearly. We may increase the
interest rate and the amount of any payment. If the payee dies, the amount of
remaining proceeds and any earned but unpaid interest will be paid in one sum
to his or her estate unless otherwise provided.

Plan 5. Joint Life and Survivor Income. We will make equal monthly payments to
two payees for a guaranteed minimum of 10 years. Each payee must be at least 35
years old when payments begin. The guaranteed amount payable under this plan
will earn interest at 3% compounded yearly. We may increase the interest rate
and the amount of any payment. Payments will continue as long as either payee
is living. If both payees die before the end of the minimum period, the amount
of the remaining payments for the 10 year period will be discounted at the same
interest rate used to calculate the monthly income. The discounted amount will
be paid in one sum to the survivor's estate unless otherwise provided.

Accidental Death Benefit Rider

This rider provides an additional death benefit on the life of the insured. We
will pay this benefit when we receive due proof of the Insured's death, if:

. the death resulted, directly and independently of all other causes, from
bodily injury caused solely by external, violent and accidental means; and

. the injury and death occurred while this rider was in effect; and
. the death occurred within 180 days of the injury; and

. the death occurred after the policy anniversary nearest the insured's 5th
birthday; and

. the death occurred before the policy anniversary nearest the insured's 70th
birthday.

AMOUNT OF BENEFIT

The amount of accidental death benefit is the Specified Amount of Accidental
Death Benefit shown in the policy data pages.

CHANGE IN EXISTING AMOUNT OF BENEFIT

After this rider has been in effect for one year, you can increase or decrease
the Specified Amount of Accidental Death Benefit. To make a change, send a
written request and the Policy to our Home Office.

Decrease. Any decrease will become effective on the Monthly Anniversary Day
after the date we receive the request. The decrease will first apply to
coverage provided by the most recent increase, then to the next most recent
increases successively, then to coverage provided under the original
application. The least Specified Amount of Accidental Death Benefit that may be
in effect after a change is $2,000.

Increase. To apply for an increase you must submit a supplemental application.

the greater of the monthly deductions or the amount by which the Continuation
Amount for the current Policy Month exceeds the Continuation Amount for the
preceding Policy Month.

After the Continuation Period, on each Monthly Anniversary Day while the
Insured is totally disabled, we will waive the monthly deductions due under
this Policy, including the monthly costs of any benefits provided by rider.

After we receive proof the Insured has been continuously totally disabled for
six months, we will make benefits effective from the commencement of total
disability.

Proceeds, and (2) the Policy Debt on the date of the accelerated benefit
payment.

will be treated as though the Insured had died; and

. all insurance under the Policy on the life of the Insured, including any
riders, will end.

Policy Debt reduced appropriately, by the ratio of the Eligible Proceeds to
the Total Proceeds; and
