RISKS
Risk of Loss	You can lose money by investing in this policy.	PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN A POLICY
Not a Short- Term Investment	This policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The policy is unsuitable as a short-term savings vehicle because of substantial policy-level charges, including the premium charge and the surrender charge, as well as potential adverse tax consequences from such short-term use.	Early Surrender or Withdrawal Risk/Not a Short-Term Investment
Risks Associated with Investment Options	An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor performance and can vary depending on the performance of the account allocation options available under the policy (e.g., portfolios). Each such option (including the fixed account and indexed accounts) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these options before making an allocation decision.	Investment Risk/Risk of Loss Risks Associated with Indexed Accounts

Insurance Company Risks	Your investment in the policy is subject to risks related to John Hancock USA, including that the obligations, the fixed account and indexed accounts, guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims- paying ability of John Hancock USA. Information about John Hancock USA, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request from your John Hancock USA representative. Our current financial strength ratings can also be obtained by contacting the Service Office at 1-800-732-5543.	Depositor Registrant
Policy Lapse	Unless the No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect, this policy will go into default if at the beginning of any policy month the policy’s net cash surrender value would be zero or below after deducting the monthly deductions then due. The “net cash surrender value” is your policy value, less any policy debt, and less any applicable surrender charges. This can happen as a result of insufficient premium payments, poor performance of the variable or general account options you have chosen, withdrawals, or unpaid loans or loan interest. If a default is not cured within a 61-day grace period, your policy will lapse without value, and no death benefit or other benefits will be payable. You can apply to reinstate a policy that has gone into default, subject to conditions including payment of a specified amount of additional premiums.	Lapse and Reinstatement

Investment Restrictions [Text Block]

There are restrictions that may limit the variable investment account options and general account options, the fixed account and indexed accounts that you may choose, as well as limitations on the transfer of policy value among those options. These restrictions may include a monthly limit on the number of transfers you may make. We may also impose additional restrictions to discourage market timing and disruptive trading activity.In particular, your allocation options will be affected if you elect to take a loan or receive benefits under certain supplementary benefit riders.Among other things, the policy also allows us to eliminate the shares of a portfolio or substitute shares of another new or existing portfolio, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Optional Benefit Restrictions [Text Block]

There are restrictions and limitations relating to optional benefits, as well as conditions under which an optional benefit may be modified or terminated by us. For example, certain supplementary benefit riders may be subject to underwriting, and your election of an option may result in restrictions upon some of the policy benefits, including availability of investment options.

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. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the policy is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or an individual retirement account (IRA). If we pay out any amount of your policy value upon surrender or partial withdrawal, all or part of that distribution would generally be treated as a return of the premiums you’ve paid and not subjected to income tax, with any portion not treated as a return of your premiums includible in your income. Distributions also are subject to tax penalties under some circumstances.

Investment Professional Compensation [Text Block]

Some investment professionals may receive compensation for selling the policy, including by means of commissions and revenue sharing arrangements. These investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend this policy over another investment.

Exchanges [Text Block]

Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of the one you already own, and you should only exchange your policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the existing policy.

Item 4. Fee Table [Text Block]

Fee Table The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from the policy. Please refer to your policy specifications for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the policy, surrender or make withdrawals from the policy, or transfer policy value between investment options.

The “cost of insurance” charge is determined by multiplying the net amount of insurance for which we are at risk (the “NAR”) by the applicable cost of insurance rate. The rates vary widely depending upon age at issue, the length of time the policy has been in effect, the insurance risk characteristics and (generally) the gender of the insured persons. The minimum rate shown is the rate in the first policy year for two 20 year old female standard non-smoker underwriting risks. The maximum rate shown is the rate in the fourteenth policy year for two 90 year old male substandard smoker underwriting risks. The representative insured persons rate shown is for a 55 year old male standard non-smoker underwriting risk and a 52 year old female standard non-smoker underwriting risks.

Item 10. Standard Death Benefits (N-6) [Table Text Block]

Standard Death Benefits Standard Death Benefits Effectiveness and Policy Date. After you apply for a policy, we gather and evaluate all the information we need to decide whether to issue a policy to you and, if so, what each insured person’s risk classification should be. After we approve an application for a policy and assign an appropriate insurance risk classification, we will prepare the policy for delivery. The policy will take effect only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: • The policy is delivered to and received by the applicant. • The Minimum Initial Premium is received by us. • Each insured person is living and there has been no deterioration in the insurability of the insured persons since the date of the application. If all of the above conditions are satisfied, the policy will take effect on the date shown in the policy as the “Policy Date.” That is the date on which we begin to take monthly deductions. Policy months, policy years and policy anniversaries are all measured from the Policy Date. Under limited circumstances, we may backdate a policy, upon request, by assigning a Policy Date earlier than the date the application is signed. However, in no event will a policy be backdated earlier than the earliest date allowed by state law, which is generally three months to one year prior to the date of application for the policy. The most common reasons for backdating are to preserve a younger age at issue for one or both of the insured persons or to retain a common monthly deduction date in certain corporate-owned life insurance cases involving multiple policies issued over time. If used to preserve age, backdating will result in lower insurance charges. However, monthly deductions will begin earlier than would otherwise be the case. Temporary insurance coverage. If a specified amount of premium is paid with the application for a policy and other conditions are met, we will provide temporary term life insurance coverage on the insured persons for a period prior to the time coverage under the policy takes effect. Such temporary term coverage will be subject to the terms and conditions described in the Temporary Life Insurance Agreement and Receipt attached to the application for the policy, including conditions to coverage and limits on amount and duration of coverage. Option 1 and Option 2. When the last surviving insured person dies, we will pay the death benefit minus any outstanding policy debt and unpaid fees and charges. There are two ways of calculating the death benefit. You must choose which one you want in the application. The two death benefit options are described below. • Option 1. The death benefit will equal the greater of (1) the Total Face Amount plus any amount payable under a supplementary benefit rider, or (2) the minimum death benefit (as described below). • Option 2. The death benefit will equal the greater of (1) the Total Face Amount plus any amount payable under a supplementary benefit rider, plus the policy value on the date of death of the last surviving insured person, or (2) the minimum death benefit. See the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY and More About Certain Optional Benefits sections for more information about riders that may increase the death benefit. For the same premium payments, the death benefit under Option 2 will tend to be higher than the death benefit under Option 1. On the other hand, the cost of insurance charges (based on the higher NAR) will be higher under Option 2 to compensate us for the additional insurance risk. Because of that, the policy value will tend to be higher under Option 1 than under Option 2 for the same premium payments. Poor investment performance of the portfolios, expenses, and deduction of charges under the policy all will reduce the policy value and net cash surrender value and may also reduce the death benefit. However, favorable investment performance may increase the policy value, net cash surrender value, and death benefit. Therefore, if you experience better investment performance or lower expenses and charges than you assumed, you may be able to reduce your premium payments while maintaining the death benefit and other values under your policy; or if you continue to pay premiums at the same level, the death benefit and other values under your policy may increase. Conversely, if the investment performance falls short of what you assumed, or the expenses or charges are higher, the death benefit and other values under your policy may decrease unless you pay additional premiums. Base Face Amount and Supplemental Face Amount. Total Face Amount is composed of the Base Face Amount and any Supplemental Face Amount you elect. The Supplemental Face Amount you can have generally cannot exceed 400% of the Base Face Amount at the Issue Date. Thereafter, scheduled and unscheduled increases to the Supplemental Face Amount are not permitted if the resulting Supplemental Face Amount would exceed 400% of the Total Face Amount at the Issue Date.There are a number of factors you should consider in determining whether to elect coverage in the form of Base Face Amount or in the form of Supplemental Face Amount.As noted above, you should consider a number of factors in determining whether to elect coverage in the form of Base Face Amount or in the form of Supplemental Face Amount. For the same amount of premiums paid, the amount of the Face Amount charge deducted from policy value and the amount of compensation paid to the selling insurance agent will generally be less if coverage is included as Supplemental Face Amount, rather than as Base Face Amount. On the other hand, the amount of any Supplemental Face Amount may be subject to a shorter No-Lapse Guarantee Period. If your priority is to reduce your Face Amount charges, you may wish to maximize the proportion of the Supplemental Face Amount. However, if your priority is to take advantage of the No-Lapse Guarantee feature after the fifth policy year or to maximize the death benefit when the younger insured person reaches age 121, then you may wish to maximize the proportion of the Base Face Amount. However, the No-Lapse Guarantee for the Base Face Amount under any policy that has elected an increasing Supplemental Face Amount or the Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider is limited to the first five policy years. Minimum death benefit. In order for a policy to qualify as life insurance under Federal tax law, there has to be a minimum amount of insurance in relation to policy value. The Federal tax law test that will be applied to determine whether your policy qualifies for life insurance is the cash value accumulation test. Under the cash value accumulation test, we compute the minimum death benefit each business day by multiplying the policy value on that date by the death benefit factor applicable on that date. The factor decreases as attained age increases. A table showing the factor for each age will appear in the policy. Factors applicable in the first policy year for certain combinations of an older male insured and a younger female insured for selected ages are shown in the table below.

Issue Age	Factor
35/32	840.3%
45/42	573.3%
55/52	392.9%
65/62	272.5%
75/72	194.5%
85/82	146.1%

These death benefit factors are subject to change based on the issue date of your policy. Please refer to your policy and contact your John Hancock USA representative for the death benefit factors that are specific to your policy. To the extent that the calculation of the minimum death benefit under the cash value accumulation test causes the death benefit to exceed our limits, we reserve the right to distribute a portion of the policy value so that the resulting amount of insurance is maintained within our limits. Alternatively, should we consider accepting the additional amount of insurance, we may require additional evidence of insurability. Calculation and payment of the death benefit. We will ordinarily pay any death benefit within seven days after we receive the last required form or request and any other documentation that may be required. You may choose to receive proceeds from the policy as a single sum. If we do not have information about the desired manner of payment within seven days after the date we receive documentation of the last surviving insured person’s death, we will pay the proceeds as a single sum. As permitted by state law and our current administrative procedures, death claim proceeds may be placed into an interest-bearing John Hancock retained asset account in the beneficiary’s name. The interest earned in a John Hancock retained asset account is normally subject to income tax. You should consult with your tax advisor if you have any questions regarding taxation of the interest earned. We will provide the beneficiary with a checkbook, so checks may be written for all or a part of the proceeds. The retained asset account is part of our general account and is subject to the claims of our creditors. It is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC. We may receive a benefit from managing proceeds held in a retained asset account. Additional Information About Standard Death Benefits Requesting an increase or decrease in coverage. After the first policy year, you may make a written request for an unscheduled increase in Supplemental Face Amount. We must receive your written request within two months of your next policy anniversary. Generally, each such increase must be at least $50,000 and increases in any one policy year cannot exceed 25% of the Total Face Amount at issue. You will have to provide us with evidence that the insured persons qualify for the same risk classification that applied to them at issue. Generally, any increase will be effective on the next policy anniversary following the date we approve the request. Any unscheduled increase in Supplemental Face Amount after issue would first require that you terminate the Return of Premium Death Benefit and Four-Year Term Riders you may have elected at issue. The No-Lapse Guarantee Period for the Base Face Amount under any policy that has an unscheduled Supplemental Face Amount increase is limited to the first five policy years. After the first policy year, we may approve a reduction in the Base Face Amount or the Supplemental Face Amount, but only if (i) the remaining Base Face Amount will be at least $250,000, (ii) the remaining Total Face Amount will at least equal the minimum required by the tax laws to maintain the policy’s life insurance status, and (iii) each decrease must be at least $50,000. An approved decrease will take effect on the monthly deduction date on or next following the date we approve the request. We reserve the right to require that the Supplemental Face Amount be fully depleted before the Base Face Amount can be reduced. Change of death benefit option. Under our current administrative rules, we permit the death benefit option to be changed from Option 2 to Option 1 after the first policy year. If you request in writing, and we approve a change from Option 2 to Option 1, your Total Face Amount after the change will equal your Total Face Amount before the change plus the policy value as of the effective date of the change. If you change from Option 2 to Option 1, your death benefit will change from one that may increase over time due to the investment experience of the variable investment accounts or the performance of the indexed accounts to one that is a level death benefit. Changing from Option 2 to Option 1 can also lower the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge is lowered when the NAR is reduced; all other charges under the policy would remain the same. We reserve the right to limit a request for a change if the change would cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes. Notwithstanding other policy limits, if the change from Option 2 to 1 yields a Total Face Amount that is larger than 400% of the Total Face Amount at issue, we will allow for the increase. The change will take effect on the monthly deduction date on or next following the date the written request for the change is received at our Service Office. Tax consequences of coverage changes. A change in the death benefit option or a reduction in Face Amount may change the policy’s limits under the Federal tax law. To avoid having the policy cease to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes, we reserve the right to refuse or limit (1) a change in the death benefit option or (2) a reduction in Face Amount. Limitations on payment of death benefit. If either insured person commits suicide within certain time periods (generally within two years from the Issue Date of the policy), the amount payable will be equal to the premiums paid, less the amount of any policy debt on the date of death, and less any withdrawals. Also if an application misstated the age or sex of either insured person, we will adjust, if necessary, the Base Face Amount, any Supplemental Face Amount, and every other benefit to that which would have been purchased at the correct age or sex by the most recent cost of insurance charge.

Item 11. Other Benefits Available (N-6) [Text Block]

Other Benefits Available Under the Policy In addition to the standard death benefits associated with your policy, other standard and/or optional benefits may also be available to you. The following tables summarize information about those benefits. Information about the fees associated with each benefit included in the tables may be found in the FEE TABLE.

STANDARD BENEFITS
Name of Benefit	Purpose	Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Dollar cost averaging	Under the dollar cost averaging program, you will designate an amount that will be transferred monthly from one variable investment account into any other variable investment account, a fixed account, or a holding segment of an indexed account until the amounts are designated to a segment of the indexed account.	We reserve the right to cease to offer this program after written notice to you.
Asset allocation balancing	Under the asset allocation balancer program, you will designate a percentage allocation of policy value among variable investment accounts. We will automatically transfer amounts among the variable investment accounts at intervals you select (annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly) to reestablish your chosen allocation.	We reserve the right to cease this program after written notice to you.

OPTIONAL BENEFITS
Name of Benefit	Purpose	Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Healthy Engagement Rider	Provides the opportunity to add credits to your policy value based upon the insured person’s ongoing participation in activities that promote a healthy lifestyle. The higher the insured person’s healthy engagement status category, and the more years the insured person qualifies for higher status categories, the larger your credits are likely to be. The Healthy Engagement Rider also provides the insured person with the possibility of other benefits.	The amount of any credit will be reduced (a) the closer we are to charging the policy’s maximum cost of insurance rate or (b) at any time the policy’s death benefit exceeds the cap shown in your policy. We have the right to change at any time the qualification standards for status categories. Also, we may change or terminate any other incentives.
Healthy Engagement Core Rider	This program is designed to help improve the longevity of the insured person by educating and motivating the insured person to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. By participating in this program, the insured person may receive discounts on certain goods and services, educational resources, tools, or other items that are designed to encourage learning and participation in healthy activities.	We reserve the right to amend aspects of the program from time to time, including the Program Rewards. In order to participate in the program, the insured person (i) must have attained Age 20, and (ii) must not have elected the Healthy Engagement Rider.
Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider	Provides an additional death benefit payable upon the death of the last surviving insured person.	This benefit is available to you only if you elect death benefit Option 1. You must terminate this rider before you can elect any increase to your Supplemental Face Amount.
Cash Value Enhancement Rider	Provides an enhancement in cash surrender value.	The decision to add this rider to your policy must be made at issuance of the policy and, once made, is irrevocable.

OPTIONAL BENEFITS
Name of Benefit	Purpose	Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Overloan Protection Rider	Prevents your policy from lapsing on any date if policy debt exceeds the death benefit.	The benefit is subject to a number of eligibility requirements relating to, among other things, the number of years the policy has been in force, the attained age of the younger insured person, the death benefit option elected and the tax status of the policy. When the Overloan Protection Benefit in this rider is invoked, all values in the variable investment accounts and the indexed accounts (upon segment maturity) are transferred to the fixed account and will continue to grow at the current fixed account interest rate. Thereafter, policy changes and transactions are limited as set forth in the rider. Any applicable No- Lapse Guarantee under the policy no longer applies, and any supplementary benefit rider requiring a monthly deduction will automatically be terminated. When the Overloan Protection Rider causes the policy to be converted into a fixed policy, there is risk that the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the policy has been effectively terminated and that the outstanding loan balance should be treated as a distribution.
Policy Split Option Rider	Gives the owner the option to split the Total Face Amount evenly into two separate policies, one for each insured person, but only if the insured persons get divorced or certain Federal tax law changes occur.	The rider will automatically terminate upon the death of either insured person.
Four-Year Term Rider	Provides an additional death benefit if the death of the last surviving insured person occurs during the four-year period following policy issue.	We will reduce the amount of insurance under this benefit proportionally upon the occurrence of any reduction in the Total Face Amount of your policy or upon a partial withdrawal. You must terminate this rider before you can elect any increase to your Supplemental Face Amount.

More About Certain Optional Benefits When you apply for a policy, you can request any of the optional supplementary benefit riders that we then make available. Our rules and procedures will govern eligibility for any rider and, in some cases, the configuration of the actual rider benefits. Each rider contains specific details that you should review before you decide to choose the rider. Charges for most riders will be deducted from the policy value. We may change these charges (or the rates that determine them), but not above any applicable maximum amount stated in your policy specifications. We may add to, delete from or modify the list of optional supplementary benefit riders.• Healthy Engagement Rider. Our Healthy Engagement Rider provides you with the opportunity to add credits (as described below) to your policy value based upon each insured’s ongoing participation in activities that promote a healthy lifestyle. If you elect this rider, each insured person will qualify for one of four healthy engagement status (“status”) categories each year. The status categories are based on the longevity benefits of certain healthy activities in which each insured person engages (such as regular checkups, biometric screenings, exercising regularly, participating in health educational programs, and periodically considering and answering certain health-related questions) and other health-related information about the insured persons. The status category of each insured person may change from year to year. (Current information relating to the statues of each insured person's and/or the standards for determining status are available through our Service Office at 1-888-333-2659.) Beginning in the second policy year, if either or both of the insured persons have qualified for one of the three highest status categories, we will contribute a percentage of your policy’s monthly cost of insurance charge in the form of a credit (a “Rider Credit”) to your policy value, subject to the conditions mentioned below. Any Rider Credits will be allocated automatically to each variable investment account, or any fixed account from which, and in the same proportion as, we are taking your monthly deductions. The Healthy Engagement Rider also provides the insured persons with the possibility of other benefits, including discounted wearable devices, gear used to engage in healthy activities, biometric screenings, access to health and fitness information, and other discounts and offers that depend on the insured persons having a certain status. These and any other benefits available pursuant to the rider, are designed to encourage a high level of engagement by the insured persons in activities that are correlated with improved longevity. Under the Healthy Engagement Rider, several considerations are relevant to the percentage, if any, of any month’s cost of insurance charge that we will contribute as a Rider Credit to your policy. One important consideration is the status category for each of the insured persons for the current year and for prior years. If both insured persons have always been in the lowest status category, no Rider Credits will be paid. The higher the insured persons' status categories, and the more years the insured persons qualify for higher status categories, the larger your Rider Credits are likely to be. Also, the Rider Credit that is contributed to your policy in any month will not be more than the factor identified in the rider multiplied by the difference between the maximum amount of cost of insurance charge that your policy permits us to deduct for that month and the amount of cost of insurance charge that we actually deduct for that month. This means that the amount of any Rider Credit will be less the closer we are to charging the maximum cost of insurance rate that the policy permits; and there will not be any Rider Credit if and when we are charging the maximum cost of insurance rate. We will continue to deduct the Healthy Engagement Rider charge in instances where no Rider Credits are being earned and we are charging the maximum cost of insurance rate under the policy. Although our ability to change the cost of insurance rate (subject to the maximum rate) can therefore affect whether and how much Rider Credit you may receive, no Rider Credits that we contributed to your policy value prior to such a change would be affected. The amount of the Rider Credits that are contributed to your policy value in any month also will be reduced if the death benefit under your policy then exceeds the cap shown in your policy. In such cases, the reduction in any Rider Credit will be larger as the death benefit at the time of such credit exceeds such cap. Example: Assume that your cost of insurance charge for a given month is $1000 and that the above-described percentage Rider Credit to which you are entitled for that month is 4%. Assume also that your policy’s current cost of insurance rate and death benefit are at a level that neither of the above-mentioned limits based on those factors is applicable. In that case, your Rider Credit would be $40 [$1000 x 4%] for the month in question, which would result in your policy value being $40 higher than it would have been without that month’s Rider Credit. The amount of any Rider Credit for a month in which the policy is in default will be applied first to pay any monthly deductions that are then due and unpaid and next to reduce the default payment, with any remaining amount then being contributed to your policy value in accordance with the allocation instructions then in effect for premium payments. The same procedure also will apply for any month in which the policy is being continued in force under its No-Lapse Guarantee provision, except that no amount will be applied to reduce a default payment. We have the right to change at any time the qualification standards for status categories. Such changes will be based on our expectations of the impact of those standards on future mortality, policy persistency, our expenses, our capital and reserve requirements, and our taxes relating to the policies. Any such changes, however, will be determined prospectively on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly within any class of insured persons. If we change the qualification standards for a status level, it has an effect on the amount of Rider Credits you may earn for future months, but it will not affect the Rider Credits you have already earned. Also, we may change or terminate any other incentives (such as access to health and fitness information, offers, discounts, tools, or other services designed to encourage the insured to participate in activities that promote a healthy lifestyle) that we may make available from time to time to insured persons under the Healthy Engagement Rider. If the Healthy Engagement Rider is still in effect on the later of the policy anniversary nearest the younger insured person’s 80th birthday or the 10th policy anniversary, the rider charge will cease to be deducted, no new Rider Credits will be earned and all previously earned Rider Credits will continue to apply as provided in the rider. The availability to the insured persons of certain benefits may cease when the rider charge ceases. You may elect to discontinue the rider at any time by written notice to us. In that case, the same circumstances described above will apply. If your policy terminates for any reason, the Healthy Engagement Rider also will terminate, although no Rider Credits that we contributed to your policy value prior to the termination will be affected. Although the standards for determining a status category may be administered directly by us or through an affiliated or unaffiliated provider that we designate, any termination or change in such third-party provider will not terminate or modify the Healthy Engagement Rider or our obligations thereunder. There may be costs associated with meeting the standards to qualify for a given status level that will not be reimbursed by John Hancock USA. Examples of such costs include, but are not limited to, health coverage co-pays, health club fees, athletic events, health equipment, health monitoring devices, and athletic attire.• Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider. You may elect to have your policy issued with an optional Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider. This rider provides an additional death benefit payable upon the death of the last surviving insured person. The Return of Premium Death Benefit has an initial value equal to your initial premium times the “Percentage of Premium” you select (which may range between 0% and 100%). We show the Percentage of Premium you select in the policy specifications page. This benefit is only available to you if you elect death benefit Option 1. Example: Assume that you have chosen a Return of Premium Benefit of 100% of premiums paid to age 121, and the annual premium amount is $10,000. If you pay that premium for 40 years prior to the date of the last surviving insured person’s death, the rider will increase the death benefit paid by $400,000 [40 years x $10,000].• Cash Value Enhancement Rider. Your policy may be issued with the Cash Value Enhancement Rider. The decision to add this rider to your policy must be made at issuance of the policy and, once made, is irrevocable. The benefit of this rider is that the cash surrender value of your policy is enhanced during the period for which surrender charges are applicable. Under the Cash Value Enhancement Rider, the enhancement is provided by reducing the surrender charge that would otherwise have applied upon policy surrender or lapse. Under this rider, the enhancement in cash surrender value is equal to the surrender charge multiplied by the applicable Cash Value Enhancement Waiver Percentage. The applicable Cash Value Enhancement Waiver Percentages under this rider during the Surrender Charge Period are set forth below:

Policy Year	Cash Value Enhancement Waiver Percentage
1	90%
2	80%
3	60%
4	40%
5	20%
6+	0%

Example: Assume that your policy value at the end of year 5 is $100,000, that the applicable surrender charge at that time is $40,000, and that there is no policy debt. The Cash Value Enhancement Benefit under this rider at the end of year 5 would be $8,000 [i.e.,20% of $40,000]. If you fully surrendered the policy at the end of year 5, the surrender proceeds paid would be $100,000—$40,000 + $8,000 = $68,000. This rider does not, however, increase the amount of any death benefit that is payable upon the last surviving insured person’s death. • Overloan Protection Rider. This rider will prevent your policy from lapsing on any date if policy debt exceeds the death benefit. The benefit is subject to a number of eligibility requirements relating to, among other things, the number of years the policy has been in force, the attained age of the younger insured person, the death benefit option elected and the tax status of the policy. Example: Assume that your policy’s death benefit is $1,000,000 and that you have taken loans of $100,000 per year in policy years 30 through 35 which would cause the policy to then lapse in policy year 40 if further premiums are not paid. Assume also that, at the end of year 35, you exercise the Overloan Protection Rider and pay the one-time rider charge. The policy would then remain in force after policy year 40 without any further premium payments, and the death benefit paid upon the last surviving insured person’s death would remain $1,000,000 less the amount of the policy debt at the date of death. When the Overloan Protection Benefit in this rider is invoked, all values in the variable investment accounts and the indexed accounts (upon segment maturity) are transferred to the fixed account and will continue to grow at the current fixed account interest rate. Transfer fees do not apply to these transfers. Thereafter, policy changes and transactions are limited as set forth in the rider; for example, death benefit increases or decreases, additional premium payments, policy loans, withdrawals, surrender and transfers are no longer allowed. Any outstanding policy debt will remain. Interest will continue to be charged at a rate that will not exceed the overloan protection maximum rate set forth in the policy, and the policy’s loan account will continue to be credited with the policy’s overloan protection loan interest credited rate set forth in the policy. Any applicable No-Lapse Guarantee under the policy no longer applies, and any supplementary benefit rider requiring a monthly deduction will automatically be terminated. When the Overloan Protection Rider causes the policy to be converted into a fixed policy, there is risk that the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the policy has been effectively terminated and that the outstanding loan balance should be treated as a distribution. Depending on the circumstances, all or part of such deemed distribution may be taxable as income. You should consult a tax adviser as to the risks associated with the Overloan Protection Rider.• Healthy Engagement Core Rider. Our Healthy Engagement Core Rider provides the insured persons with the opportunity to participate in our Healthy Engagement Core program. This program is designed to help improve the longevity of the insured persons by educating and motivating the insured persons to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. By participating in this program, the insured persons may receive discounts on certain goods and services, educational resources, tools, or other items that are designed to encourage learning and participation in heathy activities (the “Program Rewards”). In no event will John Hancock USA use any medical or other information about the insured persons, after the issue date, under the program to change a risk classification or as the sole basis to deny a request for reinstatement. John Hancock USA reserves the right to amend aspects of the program from time to time, including the Program Rewards. The program may be administered by us or through an affiliated or unaffiliated company designated by us. John Hancock USA may designate or replace any such company at any time. Participation in the program is voluntary and, while there are no policy level fees associated with this rider, there may be costs associated with participating in the program that will not be reimbursed by us. Examples of such costs include, but are not limited to, health coverage co-pays, health club fees, athletic event registration fees, health equipment, health monitoring devices, athletic attire, and online access fees. Participation in the program does not provide you with the opportunity to add credits to your policy nor will it affect your policy values. In order to participate in this program, the insured person must have attained Age 20. An insured person may not participate in this program if the Healthy Engagement Rider under the policy has been elected. An insured person may elect to discontinue participation in the program at any time by written notice to us. If your policy terminates for any reason, the program will also terminate. An insured person may obtain current information about the program by visiting http://www.JohnHancockVitality.com/ or by calling 1(800)-387-2747.• Policy Split Option Rider. At the time of policy issue, you may elect this rider that will permit the Total Face Amount to be evenly split into two separate policies, one for each insured person, but only if the insured persons get divorced or certain Federal tax law changes occur. The rider may be canceled at any time and it will automatically terminate upon the death of either insured person. Example: Assume that your policy’s face amount is $1,000,000. Upon divorce, each of the lives insured may be issued a single life policy with a face amount of $500,000, at which point the original policy covering both lives will be terminated. • Four-Year Term Rider. Subject to our underwriting practices, you may be eligible to elect the Four-Year Term Rider at the time of policy issue. This rider provides an additional death benefit if the death of the last surviving insured person occurs during the four-year period following policy issue. In your application for this rider, you will tell us how much term insurance coverage you want on the lives of the insured persons. The benefit will take effect on the Policy Date stated in your policy specifications page and will terminate four years from that date. You may not renew this benefit once it has been terminated. Example: Assume that your policy’s face amount is $1,000,000. For the first four policy years, the death benefit payable upon the death of the last surviving insured person will be $1,000,000 +[11/9* $1,000,000] = $2,222,222. Beginning in the fifth policy year, the death benefit payable upon the death of the last surviving insured person will be $1,000,000. We will reduce the amount of insurance under this benefit proportionally upon the occurrence of any reduction in the Total Face Amount of your policy or upon a partial withdrawal. On receiving due proof of death of the last surviving insured person, we will pay the death benefit amount to the same beneficiary and in the same manner as the proceeds payable under your policy.

Majestic Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | RisksAssociatedwithInvestmentOptionsMember

Majestic Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Risk of Loss [Member]

An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor performance and can vary depending on the performance of the account allocation options available under the policy (e.g., portfolios). Each such option (including the fixed account and indexed accounts) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these options before making an allocation decision.

Majestic Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Not Short Term Investment Risk [Member]

You can lose money by investing in this policy.

Majestic Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Insurance Company Risk [Member]

This policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The policy is unsuitable as a short-term savings vehicle because of substantial policy-level charges, including the premium charge and the surrender charge, as well as potential adverse tax consequences from such short-term use.

Majestic Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Contract Lapse Risk [Member]

Your investment in the policy is subject to risks related to John Hancock USA, including that the obligations, the fixed account and indexed accounts, guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of John Hancock USA. Information about John Hancock USA, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request from your John Hancock USA representative. Our current financial strength ratings can also be obtained by contacting the Service Office at 1-800-732-5543.

Majestic Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | FiveHundredIndexTrustSeriesNAVMember

Unless the No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect, this policy will go into default if at the beginning of any policy month the policy’s net cash surrender value would be zero or below after deducting the monthly deductions then due. The “net cash surrender value” is your policy value, less any policy debt, and less any applicable surrender charges. This can happen as a result of insufficient premium payments, poor performance of the variable or general account options you have chosen, withdrawals, or unpaid loans or loan interest. If a default is not cured within a 61-day grace period, your policy will lapse without value, and no death benefit or other benefits will be payable. You can apply to reinstate a policy that has gone into default, subject to conditions including payment of a specified amount of additional premiums.

The charge for this rider is determined as a percentage of unloaned account value. The rates vary by the attained age of the younger insured person at the time of exercise. The minimum rate shown is for the younger insured person who has reached attained age 120. The maximum rate shown is for the younger insured person who has reached attained age 75. These charges may not be particularly relevant to your current situation, and you can obtain information about the specific charges applicable to you from your John Hancock USA representative.

Overloan Protection Rider

Prevents your policy from lapsing on any date if policy debt exceeds the death benefit.

The benefit is subject to a number of eligibility requirements relating to, among other things, the number of years the policy has been in force, the attained age of the younger insured person, the death benefit option elected and the tax status of the policy.When the Overloan Protection Benefit in this rider is invoked, all values in the variable investment accounts and the indexed accounts (upon segment maturity) are transferred to the fixed account and will continue to grow at the current fixed account interest rate.Thereafter, policy changes and transactions are limited as set forth in the rider. Any applicable No-Lapse Guarantee under the policy no longer applies, and any supplementary benefit rider requiring a monthly deduction will automatically be terminated.When the Overloan Protection Rider causes the policy to be converted into a fixed policy, there is risk that the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the policy has been effectively terminated and that the outstanding loan balance should be treated as a distribution.

Healthy Engagement Rider

Provides the opportunity to add credits to your policy value based upon the insured person’s ongoing participation in activities that promote a healthy lifestyle. The higher the insured person’s healthy engagement status category, and the more years the insured person qualifies for higher status categories, the larger your credits are likely to be. The Healthy Engagement Rider also provides the insured person with the possibility of other benefits.

The amount of any credit will be reduced (a) the closer we are to charging the policy’s maximum cost of insurance rate or (b) at any time the policy’s death benefit exceeds the cap shown in your policy. We have the right to change at any time the qualification standards for status categories. Also, we may change or terminate any other incentives.

Operation of Benefit [Text Block]

Healthy Engagement Rider

• Healthy Engagement Rider. Our Healthy Engagement Rider provides you with the opportunity to add credits (as described below) to your policy value based upon each insured’s ongoing participation in activities that promote a healthy lifestyle. If you elect this rider, each insured person will qualify for one of four healthy engagement status (“status”) categories each year. The status categories are based on the longevity benefits of certain healthy activities in which each insured person engages (such as regular checkups, biometric screenings, exercising regularly, participating in health educational programs, and periodically considering and answering certain health-related questions) and other health-related information about the insured persons. The status category of each insured person may change from year to year. (Current information relating to the statues of each insured person's and/or the standards for determining status are available through our Service Office at 1-888-333-2659.) Beginning in the second policy year, if either or both of the insured persons have qualified for one of the three highest status categories, we will contribute a percentage of your policy’s monthly cost of insurance charge in the form of a credit (a “Rider Credit”) to your policy value, subject to the conditions mentioned below. Any Rider Credits will be allocated automatically to each variable investment account, or any fixed account from which, and in the same proportion as, we are taking your monthly deductions. The Healthy Engagement Rider also provides the insured persons with the possibility of other benefits, including discounted wearable devices, gear used to engage in healthy activities, biometric screenings, access to health and fitness information, and other discounts and offers that depend on the insured persons having a certain status. These and any other benefits available pursuant to the rider, are designed to encourage a high level of engagement by the insured persons in activities that are correlated with improved longevity. Under the Healthy Engagement Rider, several considerations are relevant to the percentage, if any, of any month’s cost of insurance charge that we will contribute as a Rider Credit to your policy. One important consideration is the status category for each of the insured persons for the current year and for prior years. If both insured persons have always been in the lowest status category, no Rider Credits will be paid. The higher the insured persons' status categories, and the more years the insured persons qualify for higher status categories, the larger your Rider Credits are likely to be. Also, the Rider Credit that is contributed to your policy in any month will not be more than the factor identified in the rider multiplied by the difference between the maximum amount of cost of insurance charge that your policy permits us to deduct for that month and the amount of cost of insurance charge that we actually deduct for that month. This means that the amount of any Rider Credit will be less the closer we are to charging the maximum cost of insurance rate that the policy permits; and there will not be any Rider Credit if and when we are charging the maximum cost of insurance rate. We will continue to deduct the Healthy Engagement Rider charge in instances where no Rider Credits are being earned and we are charging the maximum cost of insurance rate under the policy. Although our ability to change the cost of insurance rate (subject to the maximum rate) can therefore affect whether and how much Rider Credit you may receive, no Rider Credits that we contributed to your policy value prior to such a change would be affected. The amount of the Rider Credits that are contributed to your policy value in any month also will be reduced if the death benefit under your policy then exceeds the cap shown in your policy. In such cases, the reduction in any Rider Credit will be larger as the death benefit at the time of such credit exceeds such cap. Example: Assume that your cost of insurance charge for a given month is $1000 and that the above-described percentage Rider Credit to which you are entitled for that month is 4%. Assume also that your policy’s current cost of insurance rate and death benefit are at a level that neither of the above-mentioned limits based on those factors is applicable. In that case, your Rider Credit would be $40 [$1000 x 4%] for the month in question, which would result in your policy value being $40 higher than it would have been without that month’s Rider Credit. The amount of any Rider Credit for a month in which the policy is in default will be applied first to pay any monthly deductions that are then due and unpaid and next to reduce the default payment, with any remaining amount then being contributed to your policy value in accordance with the allocation instructions then in effect for premium payments. The same procedure also will apply for any month in which the policy is being continued in force under its No-Lapse Guarantee provision, except that no amount will be applied to reduce a default payment. We have the right to change at any time the qualification standards for status categories. Such changes will be based on our expectations of the impact of those standards on future mortality, policy persistency, our expenses, our capital and reserve requirements, and our taxes relating to the policies. Any such changes, however, will be determined prospectively on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly within any class of insured persons. If we change the qualification standards for a status level, it has an effect on the amount of Rider Credits you may earn for future months, but it will not affect the Rider Credits you have already earned. Also, we may change or terminate any other incentives (such as access to health and fitness information, offers, discounts, tools, or other services designed to encourage the insured to participate in activities that promote a healthy lifestyle) that we may make available from time to time to insured persons under the Healthy Engagement Rider. If the Healthy Engagement Rider is still in effect on the later of the policy anniversary nearest the younger insured person’s 80th birthday or the 10th policy anniversary, the rider charge will cease to be deducted, no new Rider Credits will be earned and all previously earned Rider Credits will continue to apply as provided in the rider. The availability to the insured persons of certain benefits may cease when the rider charge ceases. You may elect to discontinue the rider at any time by written notice to us. In that case, the same circumstances described above will apply. If your policy terminates for any reason, the Healthy Engagement Rider also will terminate, although no Rider Credits that we contributed to your policy value prior to the termination will be affected. Although the standards for determining a status category may be administered directly by us or through an affiliated or unaffiliated provider that we designate, any termination or change in such third-party provider will not terminate or modify the Healthy Engagement Rider or our obligations thereunder. There may be costs associated with meeting the standards to qualify for a given status level that will not be reimbursed by John Hancock USA. Examples of such costs include, but are not limited to, health coverage co-pays, health club fees, athletic events, health equipment, health monitoring devices, and athletic attire.
