Charges for Early Withdrawals
When you withdraw a portion of your Account Value from the policy, we deduct a withdrawal charge of up to 2% of the amount you withdraw, but not more than $25. Please note that this charge applies to any withdrawal – whether it is taken early in your holding of the policy or later.
The maximum withdrawal amount is equal to the Account Value less (a) any Policy Debt less (b) an amount equal to (i) the most recent monthly deduction multiplied by (ii) one plus the number of Monthly Calculation Dates remaining in your modal term.
For example, if you withdraw $10,000 from your policy, you will incur  a withdrawal charge of $25.

Risk of Loss
You can lose money by investing in the policy.
Principal Risks – Investment Risks
Not a Short-Term Investment
A policy is not a short-term investment vehicle and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
We apply a withdrawal charge with respect to any withdrawal you make from the policy.
A withdrawal may also reduce your policy’s Selected Face Amount and may have adverse tax consequences.
You can avoid withdrawal charges and such possible adverse tax consequences by holding your policy for the long-term and minimizing withdrawals.
Overview of the Policy – What is the policy, and what is it designed to do?
Principal Risks – Suitability
Risks Associated with Investment Options
An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending upon the performance of the underlying Funds you choose.
Each investment option (including any fixed account investment option) has its own unique risks. You should review the prospectuses for the available Funds before making an investment decision.
Principal Risks – Investment Risks
General Information About the Company, the Separate Account and the Underlying Funds – Underlying Funds
Insurance Company Risks
An investment in the policy is subject to the risks related to the Depositor (MassMutual). Any obligations (including under any fixed account investment option), guarantees, or benefits of the policy are subject to the claims-paying ability of MassMutual. If MassMutual experiences financial distress, it may not be able to meet its obligations to you. More information about MassMutual, including its financial strength ratings, is available by calling (800) 665-2654 or by visiting www.MassMutual.com/ratings.
General Information About the Company, the Separate Account and the Underlying Funds – The Guaranteed Principal Account
Policy Lapse
Your policy could terminate (or lapse) if the Cash Surrender Value becomes too low to support the policy’s monthly charges. Factors that may cause your policy to lapse include: insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest. If your policy lapses, you may be able to reinstate it. To reinstate your policy, you must provide us certain written materials we require as well as a premium payment sufficient to keep the policy In Force for three months after reinstatement.    The death benefit will not be paid if the policy has lapsed.
Principal Risks – Policy Termination
Policy Termination and Reinstatement
Investment Restrictions [Text Block]
Generally, you may transfer Account Value among the Separate Account Divisions and the Guaranteed Principal Account (GPA), subject to certain limitations.
  • Transfers from the GPA to the Separate Account are limited to one per Policy Year, and generally may not exceed 25% of your Account Value in the GPA (less any Policy Debt).
  • There is one exception to this rule. If you have transferred 25% of the GPA Value (less any Policy Debt) for three consecutive years and you have not added any Net Premium or transferred amounts to the GPA during these three consecutive years, you may transfer the remainder of the GPA Value (less any Policy Debt) out of the GPA in the succeeding Policy Year.
  • Transfers (including transfers through automated programs) cannot be processed during a Grace Period.
In addition, we reserve the right to reject or restrict transfers if we determine the transfers reflect frequent trading or a market timing strategy, or we are required to reject or restrict the transfer by the applicable Fund.
MassMutual also reserves the right to remove or substitute Funds as investment options that are available under the policy.
Optional Benefit Restrictions [Text Block]
Optional benefits, such as riders, may alter the benefits or charges under your policy. Rider availability and benefits may vary by state of issue, and their election may have tax consequences. Riders may have restrictions or limitations. If you elect a particular rider, it may restrict or enhance the terms of your policy, or restrict the availability or terms of other riders.
Tax Implications [Text Block]
  • You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the policy.
  • If you purchase the policy through a qualified retirement plan, you do not receive any additional tax deferral.
  • Withdrawals and partial surrenders are taxed as recovery of cost basis first and income second. Loans and collateral assignments are not taxable when taken. Any gain on your policy is taxed as ordinary income. If your policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), loans, collateral assignments, withdrawals, and other pre-death distributions will be taxed as income first and recovery of cost basis second. You may have to pay a penalty tax if you take a distribution before you attain age 59½.
Investment Professional Compensation [Text Block]
Your registered representative may receive compensation in the form of commissions for selling the policy to you. If your registered representative is also a MassMutual insurance agent, they are also eligible for certain cash and non-cash benefits from us. Cash compensation includes bonuses and allowances based on factors such as sales, productivity and persistency (policy retention). Non-cash compensation includes various recognition items such as prizes and awards as well as attendance at, and payment of the costs associated with attendance at, conferences, seminars and recognition trips, and also includes contributions to certain individual plans such as pension and medical plans. Sales of the policy may help these registered representatives and their supervisors qualify for such benefits.
This conflict of interest may influence your registered representative to offer or recommend the policy over another investment.
Exchanges [Text Block]
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you the policy in place of the one you own. You should only exchange your current life insurance policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the policy rather than continue to own your existing life insurance policy.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block]
Principal Risks
Investment Risks
The value of your policy will fluctuate with the performance of the Separate Account Divisions you select. Your Separate Account Divisions may decline in value or they may not perform to your expectations. You bear the investment risk of any Account Value invested in the Separate Account Divisions. It is possible you could lose your entire investment.
The type of investments that a fund company makes will also create risk. A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each of the Funds underlying the Separate Account Divisions may be found in that Fund’s prospectus. You should read the Fund’s prospectus carefully before investing.
Suitability
Variable life insurance is designed to help meet long-term financial goals. It is not suitable as a vehicle for short-term savings. You should not purchase the policy if you will need the premium payment in a short period of time. We may restrict short-term investment strategies.
Withdrawals
A withdrawal will reduce your policy’s Account Value by the amount withdrawn. In addition, we impose a withdrawal charge whenever you withdraw a portion of your Account Value. If the policy’s Cash Surrender Value is reduced to a point where it cannot meet a monthly deduction, your policy may terminate. A withdrawal may also reduce your policy’s Selected Face Amount and may have adverse tax consequences.
Loans
Taking a loan from your policy has several risks: (1) it may increase the risk that your policy will terminate; (2) it will have a permanent effect on your policy’s Cash Surrender Value; (3) it may increase the amount of premium needed to keep the policy In Force; (4) it will reduce the death benefit proceeds; and (5) it has potential adverse tax consequences.
Policy Termination
Your policy could terminate if the Cash Surrender Value becomes too low to support the policy’s monthly charges. Factors that may cause your policy to terminate include: insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest. Poor investment performance of the Funds selected by the Policy Owner and the deduction of policy fees and monthly charges may result in termination of the policy, even if all Modal Term Premiums are timely paid. No death benefit or other benefits under the policy will be paid once the policy terminates.
Limitations on Access to Account Value
Withdrawals are not available in the first six months of the first Policy Year.
The maximum withdrawal amount is equal to the Cash Surrender Value less an amount equal to one plus the number of Monthly Calculation Dates remaining in your modal term multiplied by your most recent monthly deduction. There may be little to no cash value available for loans and withdrawals in the policy’s early years.
The minimum withdrawal amount is $500. A withdrawal charge equal to the lesser of 2% of the amount of the withdrawal or $25 will be deducted from the amount of the withdrawal.
The withdrawal amount may not exceed the non-loaned Account Value of the Separate Account Division(s) or the Guaranteed Principal Account from which the withdrawal is to be made.
Insurance Company Insolvency
It is possible that we could experience financial difficulty in the future and even become insolvent, and therefore unable to provide all of the guarantees and benefits that we promise that exceed the value of the assets in the Separate Account.
Adverse Tax Consequences
Certain transactions (including, but not limited to, withdrawals, surrenders and loans) may lead to a taxable event. Under certain circumstances (usually if your premium payments in the first seven years or less exceed specified limits), your policy may become a “Modified Endowment Contract” (MEC). Under federal tax law, loans, collateral assignments, withdrawals, and other pre-death distributions received from a MEC policy are taxed as income first and recovery of cost basis second. Also, distributions includible in income received before you attain age 59½ may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Existing tax laws that benefit this policy may change at any time.
Policy Charge Increase
We have the right to increase certain policy  and rider charges; however, the charges will not exceed the maximum charges identified in the fee tables. If we increase a policy or rider charge, you may need to increase the amount and/or frequency of your premiums to keep your policy  In Force. We will notify the Policy Owner  of any such changes through a prospectus supplement.
Cybersecurity and Certain Business Continuity Risks
Our operations support complex transactions and are highly dependent on the proper functioning of information technology and communication systems. Any failure of or gap in the systems and processes necessary to support complex transactions and avoid systems failure, fraud, information security failures, processing errors, cyber intrusion, loss of data and breaches of regulation may lead to a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and corporate reputation. In addition, we must commit significant resources to maintain and enhance our existing systems in order to keep pace with applicable regulatory requirements, industry standards and customer preferences. If we fail to maintain secure and well-functioning information systems, we may not be able to rely on information for product pricing, compliance obligations, risk management and underwriting decisions. In addition, we cannot assure investors or consumers that interruptions, failures or breaches in security of these processes and systems will not occur, or if they do occur, that they can be timely detected and remediated. The occurrence of any of these events may have a materially adverse effect on our businesses, results of operations and financial condition. For additional detail regarding cybersecurity and related risks, please see “Other Information – Computer System, Cybersecurity, and Service Disruption Risks” in this prospectus.
Item 10. Standard Death Benefits (N-6) [Table Text Block]
Death Benefit
If the Insured dies while the policy is In Force and we determine that the claim is valid, we will pay the death benefit in a lump sum or in one of the elected payment options to the Beneficiary.
The death benefit will be the amount provided by the death benefit option in effect on the date of death, reduced by any outstanding Policy Debt, and any unpaid premium needed to avoid policy termination. The death benefit is calculated as of the date of the Insured’s death.
The Minimum Death Benefit for your policy is based on your policy’s Account Value as described below.
While the policy is In Force, you may make changes to the death benefit option and  Selected Face Amount. You must pay any premium due before such transaction requests can be processed.
Minimum Face Amount
In order to qualify as life insurance under IRC Section 7702, the policy must have a minimum face amount. We determine the minimum face amount by multiplying the Account Value by the minimum face amount percentage. The percentage depends upon the Insured’s Attained Age.
Cash Value Accumulation Test (CVAT)
Under this test, the Minimum Death Benefit on any date is equal to the Account Value on that date multiplied by the death benefit factor for the Insured’s Attained Age on that date. The death benefit factor depends on the Insured’s gender, age, tobacco use classification, and the CVAT interest rate under Section 7702 of the IRC.
Guideline Premium Test
Under this test, the Minimum Death Benefit on any date is equal to the Account Value on that date multiplied by the death benefit factor, but the death benefit factor varies only by the Attained Age of the Insured.
The death benefit factors for the Cash Value Accumulation Test and the Guideline Premium Test are shown in the policy. Your choice of the Guideline Premium Test or the Cash Value Accumulation Test will depend on how you intend to pay premiums. In general, if you intend to pay premiums only in the early Policy Years, the Cash Value Accumulation Test may be appropriate. If you intend to pay level premiums over a long period of years, the Guideline Premium Test may be more appropriate. You should review policy illustrations of both approaches with your registered representative to determine how the policy works under each test, and which is best for you.
Death Benefit Options
We offer two death benefit options. Initially the death benefit option is elected by the employer.
Death Benefit Option A – the death benefit is the greater of:
the Selected Face Amount in effect on the date of death; or
the minimum face amount in effect on the date of death.
Death Benefit Option B – the death benefit is the greater of:
the sum of the Selected Face Amount in effect on the date of death plus the Account Value on the date of death; or
the minimum face amount in effect on the date of death.
If the Insured dies while the policy is In Force, we will pay the death benefit based on the option in effect on the date of death, with the following adjustments:
We add the part of any Account Value charges that apply for the period beyond the date of death; and
We deduct any Policy Debt outstanding on the date of death; and
We deduct any account charges unpaid as of the date of death.
You should note that under Death Benefit Option A, the death benefit amount is not affected by your policy’s investment experience unless the death benefit is based on the minimum face amount. Under Death Benefit Option B, the death benefit is a variable death benefit. This means that, because the death benefit amount includes the Account Value, it can change from day to day. Your policy’s
Account Value will vary due to the investment performance of the Separate Account Divisions in which you have allocated premium or transferred funds. It is also impacted by the deduction of charges and other policy expenses. It is possible that the policy’s Account Value can be zero, which will reduce the overall value of the death benefit. The “Policy Value” section provides more detailed information on how your policy’s Account Value is determined.
The examples assume no additions to or deductions from the Selected Face Amount or minimum face amount are applicable.
Right to Change the Death Benefit Option
You may change your Death Benefit Option at any time while the Insured is living by Written Request and subject to our guidelines regarding proof of insurability. However, no change will be permitted after the Policy Anniversary nearest the Insured’s 100th birthday. There is no charge for a change in the Death Benefit Option; however the monthly deduction amount will change.
The effective date of any change in the Death Benefit Option will be your first Policy Anniversary on, or next following, the later of:
15 calendar days after we receive (in Good Order at our Administrative Office) and approve your Written Request for such change; or
the requested effective date of the change.
If you change your death benefit option, we will adjust your policy’s Selected Face Amount. The Selected Face Amount adjustment (up or down) will be in the amount needed so that the death benefit immediately before the change will be the same as the death benefit after the change.
Please see Appendix C for examples of how a change in death benefit option may impact the policy’s Selected Face Amount.
The death benefit following a death benefit option change, however, will behave differently based on the new death benefit option in effect. For example, if a Policy Owner changes the death benefit option from option 1 (death benefit = Selected Face Amount) to option 2 (death benefit = Selected Face Amount + Account Value), the death benefit after the change will be based on the Account Value rather than remaining level. The Policy Owner may decide to make this change if the desire is to have a death benefit that will increase if the Account Value grows.
Alternatively, a Policy Owner may change from death benefit option 2 to option 1 if they would like to have a level death benefit following the change. Having a level death benefit (rather than increasing as the Account Value grows) would reduce the policy’s Insurance Risk as the policy’s Account Value increases and, as a result, would reduce the monthly insurance charges.
When the Selected Face Amount changes as a result of a change in the death benefit option:
the monthly charges will also change; and
the charge for certain additional benefits may change.
You cannot change the death benefit option if, as a result, the Selected Face Amount would be reduced to an amount that is less than the minimum face amount.
When We Pay Death Benefit Proceeds
If the policy is In Force and it is determined that the claim is valid, we will normally pay the death benefit within seven calendar days after the date we receive due proof of the Insured’s death and all required documents, in Good Order, at our Administrative Office.
Certain situations may delay payment of a death claim. These situations include, but are not limited to, our right to contest the validity of a death claim. We investigate all death claims that occur within the policy’s two-year contestable periods as described below.
We have the right to contest the validity of the policy for any material misrepresentation of a fact within two years:
after the policy is issued;
after any increase in Selected Face Amount; or
after reinstatement.
These two-year periods are called the policy’s “contestable periods.” We may also investigate death claims beyond the contestable periods. After any two-year contestable period, in the absence of fraud, we cannot contest the validity of a policy or a Selected Face Amount increase, except for failure to pay premiums.
We generally determine whether the contested claim is valid within five days after we receive the information from a completed investigation. Since it may take some time to receive the information, payment could be delayed during this period.
We can also delay payment of the death benefit if a portion is based on the Variable Account Value of the policy and the Insured’s date of death is before or during any period when:
it is not reasonably practicable to determine the amount because the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);
trading is restricted by the SEC;
an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of shares of the Funds is not reasonably practicable or we cannot reasonably value the shares of the Funds; or
the SEC, by order, permits us to delay payment for the protection of our Policy Owners.
Interest on Death Benefit
We will add interest to the death benefit from the date of the Insured’s death to the date of a lump sum payment or the effective date of a payment option. Interest will be computed at the rate determined under the interest payment option, but not less than that required by applicable state law. Interest paid on the death benefit is taxable as ordinary income in the year such interest is credited.
Although the death benefit is generally excludible from the income of the Beneficiary who receives it, interest on the death benefit is includible in the Beneficiary’s income.
Payment Options
We will pay the death benefit in a lump sum or under one of the payment options described more fully below. If the payment option is a lump sum when the Insured dies, the Beneficiary may elect any payment option, with our consent. If the Beneficiary does not elect a payment option and you have not elected a payment option during the Insured’s lifetime, the death benefit will be paid as a single lump sum.
The different death benefit payment options are described below. None of these benefits depends upon the performance of the Separate Account or the Guaranteed Principal Account.
Fixed Amount Payment Option. We make a monthly payment for an agreed fixed amount. The amount of each payment may not be less than $10 for each $1,000 applied. We credit interest of at least 3% per year each month on the unpaid balance and add the interest to this balance. Payments continue until the amount we hold runs out. The last payment will be for balance only.
Fixed Time Payment Option. We make equal monthly payments for any period selected, up to 30 years. The amount of each payment depends on:
the total amount applied;
the period selected; and
the monthly interest rate we credit to the unpaid balance.
Lifetime Payment Option. We make equal monthly payments on the life of a named person. Three variations are available:
Payments for life only;
Payments guaranteed for five, ten or twenty years or the death of the named person, whichever is later; or
Payments guaranteed for the amount applied or the death of the named person, whichever is later.
Interest Payment Option. We hold any amount applied under this option. We will pay interest monthly on the amount at an effective annual rate determined by us. This rate will not be less than 3% per year on the unpaid balance.
Joint Lifetime Payment Option. We make equal monthly payments based on the lives of two named persons. While both named persons are living, we make one payment per month. When one of the named persons dies, the same payment continues for the lifetime of the other named person. We offer two variations:
Payments guaranteed for 10 years or when both named persons die, whichever is later; and
Payments for two lives only. We do not guarantee a specific number of payments. We stop payments when both named persons die.
Joint Lifetime Payment Option with Reduced Payments to Survivor. We make monthly payments based on the lives of two named persons. While both named persons are living, we make one payment each month. When one dies, we reduce the payments by one-third and continue for the lifetime of the other named person. We stop payments when both named persons die.
The minimum amount that can be applied under a payment option is $2,000 per Beneficiary. If the periodic payment under any option is less than $20, we reserve the right to make payments at less frequent intervals. Once payments have begun, only the fixed amount and interest payment options may be changed.
All payment option elections must be sent to our Administrative Office in writing. You may change the payment option during the Insured’s lifetime.
Although the Death Benefit is generally excludible from the income of the Beneficiary who receives it, interest on the Death Benefit is includible in the Beneficiary’s income in the year such interest is credited.
Right to Change the Selected Face Amount
You may request an increase or decrease in the Selected Face Amount. If you decrease your Selected Face Amount, your policy charges will change accordingly.
If you increase or decrease the Selected Face Amount, your policy may become a MEC under federal tax law. MECs are discussed in the “Federal Income Tax Considerations” section; however, you should consult your tax adviser for information on how a MEC may affect your tax situation.
Increases in Selected Face Amount
You may increase the Selected Face Amount by sending us a new enrollment form, or by sending us an application if you are no longer associated with your employer. We may request evidence of insurability for an increase.
We will not allow an increase in the Selected Face Amount on or after the Policy Anniversary following the Insured’s 75th birthday. Any increase in the Selected Face Amount will be effective on the Monthly Calculation Date which is on, or next follows, the later of:
15 calendar days after we have received (in Good Order at our Administrative Office) and approved your Written Request for such change; or
the requested effective date of the change.
Any increase for Policy Owners no longer associated with the employer must be in an amount of at least $5,000.
Decreases in Selected Face Amount
You may also decrease your policy’s Selected Face Amount. We allow a decrease in the Selected Face Amount only once per Policy Year. The Selected Face Amount after a decrease must be at least $50,000.
We will not allow a decrease in the Selected Face Amount after the Policy Anniversary following the Insured’s 100th birthday. Any requested decrease in the Selected Face Amount will be effective on the Monthly Calculation Date which is on, or next follows the latest of:
15 calendar days after we receive (in Good Order at our Administrative Office) and the date we approve your Written Request for such change;
The one-year period following the effective date of your previously requested decrease; or
the requested effective date of the change.
A decrease in the policy’s Selected Face Amount may have adverse tax consequences. Please see the “Federal Income Tax Considerations” section.
Suicide
If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, and the policy is In Force, the policy will terminate.
If the death occurs within two years from the Issue Date, we will pay a limited death benefit equal to the amount of premiums paid for the policy, less any Policy Debt and amounts withdrawn.
If the death occurs after two years from the Issue Date but within two years from an increase in any Selected Face Amount, we will pay a limited death benefit equal to the sum of the monthly charges associated with the Selected Face Amount increase. However, if the limited death benefit as described in the preceding bullet is payable, there will be no death benefit for the increase.
If the death occurs within two years after the policy is reinstated, we will pay a limited death benefit equal to the sum of any amount paid to reinstate the policy plus any premiums paid thereafter, less any Policy Debt and amounts withdrawn.
Example:

Assume a policy is issued with a $500,000 Selected Face Amount under Death Benefit Option A. In Policy Year 4, the Policy Owner applies for a $250,000 Selected Face Amount increase, which is approved. If the Insured commits suicide within two years of the increase, the benefit payable to the Beneficiaries is equal to the original $500,000 death benefit, plus an additional payment equal to the monthly charges that were deducted from the Account Value for the increase segment of $250,000.
Please see ‘‘Appendix D – State Variations of Certain Policy Features’’ for state variations pertaining to this provision.
Misstatement of Age
If the Insured’s age is misstated in the application, or the policy has been issued incorrectly, we may adjust the Selected Face Amount. The adjustment will reflect the amount provided by the most recent monthly cost of insurance charges using the correct age. If the adjustment is made while the Insured is living, monthly charges after the adjustment will be based on the correct age.
Additional Information about Standard Death Benefits, Note (N-6) [Text Block] Right to Change the Death Benefit OptionYou may change your Death Benefit Option at any time while the Insured is living by Written Request and subject to our guidelines regarding proof of insurability.

Please see the “Federal Income Tax Considerations” section.
Charges and Contract Values, Note (N-6) [Text Block] You should note that under Death Benefit Option A, the death benefit amount is not affected by your policy’s investment experience unless the death benefit is based on the minimum face amount. Under Death Benefit Option B, the death benefit is a variable death benefit. This means that, because the death benefit amount includes the Account Value, it can change from day to day. Your policy’s Account Value will vary due to the investment performance of the Separate Account Divisions in which you have allocated premium or transferred funds. It is also impacted by the deduction of charges and other policy expenses. It is possible that the policy’s Account Value can be zero, which will reduce the overall value of the death benefit. The “Policy Value” section provides more detailed information on how your policy’s Account Value is determined.
Item 11. Other Benefits Available (N-6) [Text Block]
Other Benefits Available Under the  Policy
Additional Benefits
In addition to the standard death benefit  associated with your policy, other standard and/or optional benefits may be available to you.
You can obtain additional benefits if you request them and/or qualify for them. We provide certain additional benefits by rider or endorsement. The cost of each rider is generally deducted as part of the monthly charges. Some riders do not result in monthly charges, but do require a fee to exercise the riders.
We also offer two automated transfer programs as additional benefits – Automated Account Value Transfer and Automated Account Re-balancing. Please note that you cannot select both the Automated Account Value Transfer and Automated Account Re-balancing at the same time.
The following table summarizes the information about the additional benefits available under the policy. Information about the fees associated with each benefit included in the table may be found in the Fee Table.
There may be state variations associated with these benefits. Please see “Appendix D – State Variations of Certain Policy Features.”

Benefits Description [Table Text Block]
Accelerated Benefits Rider
This rider advances a portion of the policy’s death benefit to the Policy Owner when we receive proof, satisfactory to us, that the Insured is terminally ill and is not expected to live more than 12 months prior to activation of the rider. In return for the advanced payment, we establish a lien against the policy, equal to the amount of the accelerated benefit. We do not charge interest against the lien.
Benefits under the rider may be taxable. The Policy Owner should seek tax advice prior to requesting an accelerated death benefit payment.
For the purposes of this rider, terminal illness is a medical condition that:
is first diagnosed by a Legally Qualified Physician; and
with reasonable medical certainty, will result in the death of the Insured within 12 months from the date the Legally Qualified Physician certifies the diagnosis; and
is not curable by any means available to the medical profession.
We must receive the following items before an accelerated benefit can be paid:
Policy Owner’s Written Request for payment of an accelerated death benefit under the policy;
Insured’s written authorization to release medical records to us;
written consent to this request of any assignee and any irrevocable Beneficiary under the policy; and
written certification from a Legally Qualified Physician that the Insured has a terminal illness, as defined above.
The amount of the death benefit under the policy that can be considered for acceleration is determined as of the acceleration date. The acceleration date is the first date on which all the requirements for acceleration, except any confirming examination that we may require, have been met.
The amount eligible for acceleration under the rider (Eligible Amount) is equal to the excess of:
the death benefit payable upon the death of the Insured under the policy, over
the policy’s Account Value.
The Eligible Amount does not include:
The amount payable upon the death of the Insured under any life insurance rider that does not provide level or increasing coverage for at least two years after the Acceleration Date;
The amount of any insurance provided under the policy, or any rider attached thereto, on the life of someone other than the Insured; and
The amount of benefit under any accidental death benefit rider.
The Policy Owner may accelerate any portion of the Eligible Amount subject to the following limitations:
We reserve the right to require that the minimum amount that may be accelerated is $25,000; and
the maximum amount that may be accelerated is equal to the lesser of 75% of the Eligible Amount or $250,000 minus the total amount accelerated under all other policies issued by us or any of our affiliates on the life of the Insured.
After the accelerated benefit payment is made, this policy will remain In Force and premiums and charges will continue in accordance with the policy provisions.
Payment of the terminal illness benefit will be made to the Policy Owner in a single sum, unless the payment has been assigned or designated by the Policy Owner. However, we will not make the payment if we first receive due proof of the Insured’s death; in this case, we will instead pay the death benefit as if no request has been received under the rider.
The rider terminates upon any of the following events:
on the date the accelerated benefit payment is made;
on the date the policy terminates;
the policy is changed to a different policy on which this rider is not available; or
two years before the Paid-up Policy Date.
Where the rider is available, it is included automatically with the policy. There is no monthly charge for this rider. If a claim is made under this rider, then we will assess a charge of no more than $250.
Please see “Appendix D – State Variations of Certain Policy Features” for state variations regarding this rider.
An example of the Accelerated Benefits Rider is set forth in Appendix C.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment Rider
This rider provides a benefit if the Insured dies or becomes dismembered due to accidental causes prior to Attained Age 65.
To pay any benefit under this rider, we require that due proof of the accidental death be given to us at our Administrative Office. This proof must show that the Insured’s death occurred:
As a direct result of accidental bodily injury independently of all other causes; and
Within 180 days after the injury was received; and
While this policy and this rider were In Force.
For purposes of this rider, proof satisfactory to us means:
death by drowning or internal injuries must be confirmed by autopsy,
for all other injuries, the cause of death must be shown by a visible wound on the exterior of the body.
The amount of the benefit for this rider is lesser of:
the current Selected Face Amount for this policy at the time the death or loss occurs; or
$500,000.
The amount of the benefit for this rider will increase or decrease directly with any increases or decreases in the Selected Face Amount for this policy but in no event will the amount of the benefit for this rider be greater than $500,000.
The benefit to be paid is that full amount or one-half of the amount of benefit for this rider, as shown in the following table.

A surgically reattached hand or foot will be deemed a “permanent loss” if, 12 months after reattachment, the limb has regained less than 50% of its normal function.
There are some exclusions to the coverage provided by this rider. No accidental death or loss will be payable if the Insured’s death or loss results directly or indirectly from any of these causes.
Suicide – Suicide, while the Insured is sane or insane.
War – War, declared or undeclared, or any act of war.
Military Service – Service in the military forces of any country at war or in any civilian noncombatant unit serving with those forces. “War” includes undeclared war and any act of war. “Country” includes any international organization or group of countries.

This rider ends automatically:
On the Policy Anniversary Date after the Insured’s 65th birthday; or
Upon the termination of this policy for any reason.
This rider may be cancelled by the Policy Owner’s Written Request. Cancellation will take effect on the Monthly Calculation Date that is on, or next follows, the date we receive the Written Request at our Administrative Office.
Your employer determines whether this rider becomes available under your policy. There is an additional charge for this rider that varies based on the individual characteristics of the Insured. You can only elect this rider in the policy’s application.
Please see “Appendix D – State Variations of Certain Policy Features” for state variations regarding this rider.
Waiver of Monthly Charges Rider
Under this rider we will waive the Account Value charges of your policy if:
the Insured becomes totally disabled (as defined in the rider) before the Policy Anniversary after the Insured’s 65th birthday; and
such total disability continues for six consecutive months.
We will not return any premiums paid; however, we will adjust the Account Value according to the terms of the rider.
Total Disability is defined as an incapacity of the Insured that:
is caused by sickness or injury; and
requires the Insured to be under a doctor’s care; and
begins while this rider is In Force; and
for the first 24 months of any period of Total Disability, prevents the Insured from performing the substantial and material duties of the Insured’s occupation; and
after Total Disability has continued for 24 months, prevents the Insured from engaging in any occupation the Insured is or may become qualified to perform.
No benefit will be payable if the Insured’s disability results directly or indirectly from any of these causes:
Self-Inflicted Injury – Any willfully and intentionally self-inflicted injury; or
Military Service – Service in the military forces of any country at war or in any civilian noncombatant unit serving with those forces. “War” includes undeclared war and any act of war. “Country” includes any international organization or group of countries.
Benefits payable under this rider end when any of the following occurs:
the Insured is no longer totally disabled; or
you do not give us the required satisfactory proof of continued total disability; or
the Insured fails or refuses to have a required examination; or
the Policy Anniversary date after the Insured’s 65th birthday, or, if later, the date two years from the date the total disability began.
Proof of claim must be received at our Administrative Office while the Insured is living and during the continuance of total disability. Also, it must be received within one year after the earlier of:
the Policy Anniversary date that is on or next follows the Insured’s 65th birthday; and
termination of the policy.
However, if it was not reasonably possible to give us notice and/or proof of claim on time, the delay will not reduce the benefit if notice and/or proof are given as soon as reasonably possible.
Until we approve your claim, you are required to pay all premiums necessary to avoid a lapse of this policy. If total disability begins during this policy’s Grace Period, any required premiums must be received before we will approve the claims made under this rider.
There is an additional charge for this rider that varies based on the individual characteristics of the Insured. Please see the “Rider Charges” table under the “Fee Tables” section for information about the Waiver of Monthly Charges Rider charge.
This rider may only be elected in the policy’s application and may be cancelled by the Policy Owner’s Written Request. Cancellation will take effect on the Monthly Calculation Date that is on, or next follows, the date we receive the Written Request at our Administrative Office.

Risk of Loss  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
You can lose money by investing in the policy.
Not a Short-Term Investment  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
A policy is not a short-term investment vehicle and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
We apply a withdrawal charge with respect to any withdrawal you make from the policy.
A withdrawal may also reduce your policy’s Selected Face Amount and may have adverse tax consequences.
You can avoid withdrawal charges and such possible adverse tax consequences by holding your policy for the long-term and minimizing withdrawals.
Risks Associated with Investment Options  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending upon the performance of the underlying Funds you choose.
Each investment option (including any fixed account investment option) has its own unique risks. You should review the prospectuses for the available Funds before making an investment decision.
Insurance Company Risks  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
An investment in the policy is subject to the risks related to the Depositor (MassMutual). Any obligations (including under any fixed account investment option), guarantees, or benefits of the policy are subject to the claims-paying ability of MassMutual. If MassMutual experiences financial distress, it may not be able to meet its obligations to you. More information about MassMutual, including its financial strength ratings, is available by calling (800) 665-2654 or by visiting www.MassMutual.com/ratings.
Policy Lapse  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Your policy could terminate (or lapse) if the Cash Surrender Value becomes too low to support the policy’s monthly charges. Factors that may cause your policy to lapse include: insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest. If your policy lapses, you may be able to reinstate it. To reinstate your policy, you must provide us certain written materials we require as well as a premium payment sufficient to keep the policy In Force for three months after reinstatement.    The death benefit will not be paid if the policy has lapsed.
Investment Risks  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Investment RisksThe value of your policy will fluctuate with the performance of the Separate Account Divisions you select. Your Separate Account Divisions may decline in value or they may not perform to your expectations. You bear the investment risk of any Account Value invested in the Separate Account Divisions. It is possible you could lose your entire investment.The type of investments that a fund company makes will also create risk. A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each of the Funds underlying the Separate Account Divisions may be found in that Fund’s prospectus. You should read the Fund’s prospectus carefully before investing.
Suitability  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] SuitabilityVariable life insurance is designed to help meet long-term financial goals. It is not suitable as a vehicle for short-term savings. You should not purchase the policy if you will need the premium payment in a short period of time. We may restrict short-term investment strategies.
Withdrawals  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] WithdrawalsA withdrawal will reduce your policy’s Account Value by the amount withdrawn. In addition, we impose a withdrawal charge whenever you withdraw a portion of your Account Value. If the policy’s Cash Surrender Value is reduced to a point where it cannot meet a monthly deduction, your policy may terminate. A withdrawal may also reduce your policy’s Selected Face Amount and may have adverse tax consequences.
Loans  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] LoansTaking a loan from your policy has several risks: (1) it may increase the risk that your policy will terminate; (2) it will have a permanent effect on your policy’s Cash Surrender Value; (3) it may increase the amount of premium needed to keep the policy In Force; (4) it will reduce the death benefit proceeds; and (5) it has potential adverse tax consequences.
Policy Termination  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Policy TerminationYour policy could terminate if the Cash Surrender Value becomes too low to support the policy’s monthly charges. Factors that may cause your policy to terminate include: insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest. Poor investment performance of the Funds selected by the Policy Owner and the deduction of policy fees and monthly charges may result in termination of the policy, even if all Modal Term Premiums are timely paid. No death benefit or other benefits under the policy will be paid once the policy terminates.
Limitations on Access to Account Value  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Limitations on Access to Account ValueWithdrawals are not available in the first six months of the first Policy Year.The maximum withdrawal amount is equal to the Cash Surrender Value less an amount equal to one plus the number of Monthly Calculation Dates remaining in your modal term multiplied by your most recent monthly deduction. There may be little to no cash value available for loans and withdrawals in the policy’s early years.The minimum withdrawal amount is $500. A withdrawal charge equal to the lesser of 2% of the amount of the withdrawal or $25 will be deducted from the amount of the withdrawal.The withdrawal amount may not exceed the non-loaned Account Value of the Separate Account Division(s) or the Guaranteed Principal Account from which the withdrawal is to be made.
Insurance Company Insolvency  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Insurance Company InsolvencyIt is possible that we could experience financial difficulty in the future and even become insolvent, and therefore unable to provide all of the guarantees and benefits that we promise that exceed the value of the assets in the Separate Account.
Adverse Tax Consequences  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Adverse Tax ConsequencesCertain transactions (including, but not limited to, withdrawals, surrenders and loans) may lead to a taxable event. Under certain circumstances (usually if your premium payments in the first seven years or less exceed specified limits), your policy may become a “Modified Endowment Contract” (MEC). Under federal tax law, loans, collateral assignments, withdrawals, and other pre-death distributions received from a MEC policy are taxed as income first and recovery of cost basis second. Also, distributions includible in income received before you attain age 59½ may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Existing tax laws that benefit this policy may change at any time.
Policy Charge Increase  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Policy Charge IncreaseWe have the right to increase certain policy  and rider charges; however, the charges will not exceed the maximum charges identified in the fee tables. If we increase a policy or rider charge, you may need to increase the amount and/or frequency of your premiums to keep your policy  In Force. We will notify the Policy Owner  of any such changes through a prospectus supplement.
Cybersecurity and Certain Business Continuity Risks  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Cybersecurity and Certain Business Continuity RisksOur operations support complex transactions and are highly dependent on the proper functioning of information technology and communication systems. Any failure of or gap in the systems and processes necessary to support complex transactions and avoid systems failure, fraud, information security failures, processing errors, cyber intrusion, loss of data and breaches of regulation may lead to a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and corporate reputation. In addition, we must commit significant resources to maintain and enhance our existing systems in order to keep pace with applicable regulatory requirements, industry standards and customer preferences. If we fail to maintain secure and well-functioning information systems, we may not be able to rely on information for product pricing, compliance obligations, risk management and underwriting decisions. In addition, we cannot assure investors or consumers that interruptions, failures or breaches in security of these processes and systems will not occur, or if they do occur, that they can be timely detected and remediated. The occurrence of any of these events may have a materially adverse effect on our businesses, results of operations and financial condition. For additional detail regarding cybersecurity and related risks, please see “Other Information – Computer System, Cybersecurity, and Service Disruption Risks” in this prospectus.
