2. during the life of the child; and

conversion is not made, the insurance in force will terminate on such
child's 22nd birthday.

Only the insurance in force on each insured child who has not reached his
or her 22nd birthday can be converted.

What will be the type of insurance, amount and premium for the new policy?
The new policy must be a level premium whole life, endowment, or flexible
premium adjustable whole life insurance policy that we are issuing at the
time of conversion. The maximum amount of insurance for each new policy may
be up to 5 times the amount stated for this rider under Policy Data. The
minimum amount is $2,000. The premium will depend on the policy chosen and
will be based on the amount of insurance and the insured child's age at the
time of conversion. Policy forms, premiums, and values for each new policy
will be those offered by us for other new policies at the time of
conversion. The contestable and suicide periods of the new policy will be
measured from the effective date of this issue.

automatically apply. No other benefit provided by this rider will be
payable. Any monthly deductions taken for this rider will not be refunded.
What is the age of the insured or an insured child has been misstated?
In this event, any amount payable under this rider will be the amount, if

such death occurred would have purchased had the cost of benefits provided
under the rider been calculated using the Rider Cost of Insurance Rates
for the correct age.
