shares or substitute shares of another Eligible Fund or Portfolio for shares

VALUATION OF ASSETS: The assets of the Accounts are valued at their fair market
value in accordance with procedures of the Company.
ACCUMULATION UNITS: Accumulation Units shall be used to account for all amounts
allocated to or withdrawn from the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account as a
result of Purchase Payments, withdrawals, transfers, or fees and charges. The
Company will determine the number of Accumulation Units of a Sub-Account
purchased or canceled. This will be done by dividing the amount allocated to (or
the amount withdrawn from) the Sub-Account by the dollar value of one
Accumulation Unit of the Sub-Account as of the end of the Valuation Period
during which the request of the transaction is received at the Administrative
Office.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE: The Accumulation Unit Value for each Sub-Account is
arbitrarily set initially at $10. Subsequent Accumulation Unit Values for each
Sub-Account are determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value for the
immediately preceding Valuation Period by the Net Investment Factor for the
Sub-Account for the current period.
The Net Investment Factor for each Sub-Account is determined by dividing A by B
and subtracting C where:
A is (i) the net asset value per share of the Eligible Fund or
Portfolio of an Eligible Fund held by the Sub-Account at the
end of the current Valuation Period; plus
(ii) any dividend or capital gains per share declared on
behalf of such Eligible Fund or Portfolio that has an
ex-dividend date within the current Valuation Period; plus

held by the Sub-Account for the immediately preceding Valuation Period.

Distribution Charge, if any, which are shown on the Contract Schedule.
The Accumulation Unit Value may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to
Valuation Period.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE: Each Valuation Period, the Company deducts a
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge from the Variable Account which is equal, on
an annual basis, to the amount shown on the Contract Schedule. The Mortality and
Expense Risk charge compensates the Company for assuming the mortality and
expense risks under this Contract.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: Each Valuation Period, the Company deducts an
Administrative Charge from the Variable Account which is equal, on an annual
basis, to the amount shown on the Contract Schedule. The Administrative Charge
compensates the Company for the costs associated with the administration of this
Contract and the Variable Account.
DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE CHARGE: Each Valuation Period, the Company deducts a
Distribution Expense Charge from the Variable Account which is equal, on an
annual basis, to the amount shown on the Contract Schedule. The Distribution
charge compensates the Company for the costs associated with the distribution of
the Contracts.
MVA ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
MVA ACCOUNT: The assets of the MVA Account will not be charged with liabilities
arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

Period options which are available at the time the Purchase Payment is made. The
initial MVA Account Guarantee Period options are shown on the Contract Schedule.
In addition, during the Accumulation Period, Contract Values can be transferred
from the Variable Account and/or the Fixed Account to one or more of the MVA
Account Guarantee Period options.
INTEREST TO BE CREDITED: The Credited Interest Rate for the Guarantee Period(s)
of the MVA Account is shown on the Contract Schedule. After the initial
Guarantee Period, the Credited Interest Rate for any subsequent Guarantee Period
of the MVA Account may change. All interest payable under this Contract is
compounded daily at the stated effective annual interest rate. In no event will
the Credited Interest Rate be less than the Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate,
prior to the application of the Market Value Adjustment, specified on the
Contract Schedule.
GUARANTEE PERIOD: The Current MVA Account Guarantee Period is shown on the
Contract Schedule. During the thirty (30) days prior to the end of a current
Guarantee Period, the Owner may renew for the same or any other Guarantee Period
then available at the then Credited Interest Rate or may elect to transfer all
or a portion of the amount to a Fixed Account option, if available, or to the
Variable Account. Any transfer elected during the thirty (30) days prior to the
end of a current Guarantee Period will be made as of the date the request is
received by the Company and will not be subject to any Market Value Adjustment.
If the Owner does not specify a Guarantee Period at the time of renewal, the
Company will select and transfer to the same Guarantee Period as has just
expired, so long as such Guarantee Period does not extend beyond the latest
Annuity Date that can be selected by an Owner. If such Guarantee Period does
extend beyond the latest Annuity Date, the Company will choose the one year
period. If there is no Guarantee Period for the same period available, the one
year period will be selected. If the one year period is no longer available, the
next longest period available will be selected.
MULTIPLE GUARANTEE PERIODS: The Owner may elect one or more Guarantee Periods
subject to the Company's underwriting rules. Multiple Guarantee Periods are
treated separately for purposes of applying the Market Value Adjustment. The
Company reserves the right to credit different Credited Interest Rates to the
Contract Value attributable:
1. to different Guarantee Periods; and
2. to Guarantee Periods of the same duration with different Effective
Dates.
CHANGES IN GUARANTEE PERIOD: The Owner may, upon Written Request, change to any
Guarantee Period then being offered by the Company with respect to contracts of
this type and class. The Market Value Adjustment will apply to a change made at
any time other than at the end of a Guarantee Period. The Market Value
Adjustment will not apply to a change made at the end of a Guarantee Period if
Written Request is received by the Company within thirty (30) days prior to the
end of the Guarantee Period.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT: Any amount withdrawn, transferred or annuitized prior
to the end of a Guarantee Period may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.
The Market Value Adjustment will be calculated by multiplying the amount
withdrawn, transferred or annuitized by the formula shown on the Contract
Schedule.
There will be no Market Value Adjustment on withdrawals from the MVA Account in
the following situations: (1) death benefit paid under this Contract; (2)
amounts withdrawn to pay fees or charges; (3) amounts withdrawn or transferred
from the MVA Account during the thirty (30) days prior to the end of the
Guarantee Period; (4) an Owner annuitizes this Contract under an Annuity Option
providing for at least sixty (60) monthly Annuity Payments; and (5) any
withdrawal subject to the MVA Waiver shown on the Contract Schedule.
MVA ACCOUNT VALUES: The MVA Account portion of a Contract at any time is equal
to:
1. The Purchase Payments allocated to the MVA Account on behalf of an
Owner; plus
2. the Contract Value transferred to the MVA Account; plus
3. interest credited to the Contract Value in the MVA Account; less
4. any prior withdrawals of Contract Value in the MVA Account and any
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge; less
5. any Contract Value transferred from the MVA Account; less
6. Contract Maintenance Charges or Transfer Fees deducted from the
Contract Value allocated to the MVA Account.
Any subsequent Purchase Payments and transfers to the MVA Account will be
allocated to a new Guarantee Period with a new Effective Date.

equal to:
1. the Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account on behalf of an
Owner; plus
2. the Contract Value transferred to the Fixed Account; plus
3. interest credited to the Contract Value in the Fixed Account; less
4. any prior withdrawals of Contract Value in the Fixed Account and any
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge; less
5. any Contract Value transferred from the Fixed Account; less
6. Contract Maintenance Charges or Transfer Fees deducted from the
Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account.
INTEREST TO BE CREDITED: The Company guarantees that the interest to be credited
to the Fixed Account will not be less than the Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate
shown on the Contract Schedule. The Company may credit additional interest at
its sole discretion for any Fixed Account option. The Fixed Account option and
the Initial Current Interest Rate are shown on the Contract Schedule.
CONTRACT VALUE
The Contract Value for any Valuation Period is the sum of the Contract Value in
each of the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account, the Contract Value in the MVA
Account and the Contract Value in the Fixed Account.
The Contract Value in a Sub-Account of the Variable Account is determined by
multiplying the number of Accumulation Units allocated to the Owner's Account
for the Sub-Account by the Accumulation Unit Value.
Withdrawals will result in the cancellation of Accumulation Units in a
Sub-Account or a reduction in the Contract Value in the Fixed Account or the MVA
Account, as applicable.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
DEDUCTION FOR CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE: During the Accumulation Period, on
each Contract Anniversary the Company will deduct a Contract Maintenance Charge
from the Contract Value by reducing the Contract Value in the Fixed Account
and/or the MVA Account and by canceling Accumulation Units from each applicable
Sub-Account to reimburse it for expenses relating to maintenance of the
Contract. The Contract Maintenance Charge will be deducted first from the Fixed
Account and if there is insufficient value in the Fixed Account, then the
Contract Maintenance Charge will be deducted from the MVA Account or the
Sub-Account of the Variable Account with the largest balance. The Contract
Maintenance Charge is shown on the Contract Schedule.
TRANSFERS
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD: Subject to any limitation imposed by
the Company on the number of transfers during the Accumulation Period shown on
the Contract Schedule, an Owner may transfer all or part of this Contract Value
in the Fixed Account, the MVA Account or a Sub-Account by Authorized Request
without the imposition of any Transfer Fee if there have been no more than the
number of free transfers shown on the Contract Schedule for the Contract Year.
All transfers are subject to the following:
1. If more than the number of free transfers, shown on the Contract
Schedule, have been made in a Contract Year, the Company will deduct a
Transfer Fee, shown on the Contract Schedule, for each subsequent
transfer permitted. The Transfer Fee is deducted from the Account which
is the source of the transfer. However, if the Owner's entire interest
in an Account is being transferred, the Transfer Fee will be deducted
from the amount which is transferred. If there are multiple source
Accounts, the Transfer Fee will be allocated first to the Fixed Account
and then to the Sub-Account or the MVA Account with the largest balance
involved in a transfer transaction.
2. The minimum amount which can be transferred from a Sub-Account is
shown on the Contract Schedule. The minimum amounts which must remain
in a Sub-Account, the Fixed and the MVA Account are shown on the
Contract Schedule. The maximum amounts which can be transferred from
the Fixed Account or the MVA Account to the Variable Account are shown
on the Contract Schedule.
3. The Company reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice
to any party, to terminate, suspend or modify the transfer privilege
described above.
If an Owner elects to use this transfer privilege, the Company will not be
liable for transfers made in accordance with the instructions received from the
Owner or other authorized persons. All amounts and Accumulation Units will be
determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the request for
transfer is received at the Administrative Office.
TRANSFERS DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD: Subject to any limitations imposed by the
Company on the number of transfers during the Annuity Period shown on the
Contract Schedule, the Owner may transfer Annuity Units in accordance with the
following::
1. Transfers may be made upon written notice to the Company at least
thirty (30) days before the due date of the first Annuity Payment for
which the change will apply. Transfers will be made by converting the
number of Annuity Units being transferred to the number of Annuity
Units of the Sub-Account to which the transfer is made, so that the
next Annuity Payment, if it were made at that time would be the same
amount that it would have been without the transfer. Thereafter,
Annuity Payments will reflect changes in the value of the new Annuity
Units.
2. If more than the number of free transfers, shown on the Contract
Schedule, have been made in a Contract Year, the Company will deduct a
Transfer Fee, shown on the Contract Schedule, for each subsequent
transfer. The Transfer Fee is deducted from the Account which is the
source of the transfer. However, if the Owner's entire interest in an
Account is being transferred, the Transfer Fee will be deducted from
the amount which is transferred. If there are multiple source Accounts,
the Transfer Fee will be allocated first to the Fixed Account and then
to the Sub-Account or the MVA Account with the largest balance involved
in the transfer transaction.
3. The minimum amount which can be transferred from a Sub-Account is
shown on the Contract Schedule. The minimum amount which must remain in
a Sub-Account after a transfer is shown on the Contract Schedule.
4. No transfers can be made between the General Account and the
Variable Account.
5. The Company reserves the right, at any time and without prior
notice, to terminate, suspend or modify the transfer privilege
described above.
If an Owner elects to use this transfer privilege, the Company will not be
liable for transfers made in accordance with instructions received from the
Owner or other authorized persons. All amounts and Annuity Units will be
determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the request for
transfer is received at the Administrative Office.

PROCEEDS PAYABLE ON DEATH
DEATH OF OWNER:
DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD: Upon the death of the Owner, or any Joint Owner,
during the Accumulation Period, the death benefit will be paid to the
Beneficiary(ies) designated by the Owner. Upon the death of any Joint Owner, the
surviving Joint Owner, if any, will be treated as the Primary Beneficiary. Any
other Beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as
a contingent Beneficiary.
A Beneficiary may request that the death benefit be paid under one of the Death
Benefit Options below. If the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Owner, he or she
may elect to continue the Contract at the then current Contract Value in his or
her own name and exercise all the Owner's right under the Contract.
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD: If death occurs prior to
age 90, the death benefit will be the greater of:
1. the total Purchase Payments, less any prior Adjusted Partial
Withdrawals, accumulated at 5% per year up to the date of death . Adjusted
Partial Withdrawals are equal to: the Partial Withdrawal multiplied by the
Death Benefit just before the Partial Withdrawal, divided by the Contract
Value just before Partial Withdrawal; or
2. the Contract Value determined as of the end of the Valuation Period
during which the Company receives both due proof of death and an election
for the payment method.
If death occurs at age 90 or later, the death benefit will be the Contract Value
determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the Company
received both due proof of death and an election for the payment method.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD: A non-spousal Beneficiary
must elect the death benefit to be paid under one of the following options in
the event of the death of the Owner or any Joint Owner during the Accumulation
Period:
Option 1 - lump sum payment of the death benefit; or
Option 2 - the payment of the entire death benefit within 5 years of
the date of the death of the Owner or any Joint Owner; or
Option 3 - payment of the death benefit under an Annuity Option over
the lifetime of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond
the life expectancy of the Beneficiary with distribution beginning
within one year of the date of death of the Owner or any Joint Owner.
Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Option 3 within one year of
the date of the Owner's death, must be distributed within five years of the date
of death.
A spousal Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract in his or her own name
at the then current Contract Value, elect a lump sum payment of the death
benefit or apply the death benefit to an Annuity Option.
If a lump sum payment is requested, the amount will be paid within seven (7)
days of receipt of proof of death and the election, unless the Suspension or
Deferral of Payments Provision, as set forth on page 15 of this Contract, is in
effect.
Payment to the Beneficiary, other than in a lump sum, may only be elected during
the sixty-day period beginning with the date of receipt of proof of death.
DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD: If the Owner, or any Joint Owner, who is not the
Annuitant, dies during the Annuity Period, any remaining payments under the
Annuity Option elected will continue at least as rapidly as under the method of
distribution in effect at such Owner's or Joint Owner's death. Upon the death of
any Owner during the Annuity Period, the Beneficiary becomes the Owner. Upon the
death of any Joint Owner during the Annuity Period, the surviving Joint Owner,
if any, will be treated as the Primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary
designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a Contingent
Beneficiary.
DEATH OF ANNUITANT:
DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD: Upon the death of an Annuitant, who is not the
Owner, during the Accumulation Period, the Owner may designate a new Annuitant,
subject to the Company's underwriting rules then in effect. If no designation is
made within thirty (30) days of the death of the Annuitant, the Owner will
become the Annuitant effective as of the death of the Annuitant. If the Owner is
a non-natural person, the death of the Annuitant will be treated as the death of
the Owner and a new Annuitant may not be designated.
DURING THE ANNUITY PERIOD: Upon the death of the Annuitant during the Annuity
Period, the death benefit, if any, will be as specified in the Annuity Option
elected. Death benefits will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of
distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death.

death benefit is paid. Due proof of death will be:
1. a certified death certificate; or
2. a certified decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
finding of death; or
3. any other proof satisfactory to the Company.
All death benefits will be paid in accordance with applicable law or regulations
governing death benefit payments.
BENEFICIARY: The Beneficiary designation in effect on the Contract Issue Date
will remain in effect until changed. The Beneficiary is entitled to receive the
benefits to be paid at the death of the Owner.
Unless the Owner provides otherwise, the death benefit will be paid in equal
shares to the survivor(s) as follows:
1. to the Primary Beneficiary(ies) who survive the Owner's and/or the
Annuitant's death, as applicable; or if there are none
2. to the Contingent Beneficiary(ies) who survive the Owner's and/or the
Annuitant's death, as applicable; or if there are none
3. to the estate of the Owner.
CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY: Subject to the rights of any irrevocable
Beneficiary(ies), the Owner may change the Primary Beneficiary(ies) or
Contingent Beneficiary(ies). A change may be made by Written Request. The change
will take effect as of the date the Written Request is signed. The Company will
not be liable for any payment made or action taken before it records the change.

OWNER, ANNUITANT, OWNERSHIP, ASSIGNMENT PROVISIONS
OWNER: The Owner has all interest and right to amounts held in this Contract.
The Owner is the person designated as such on the Contract Issue Date, unless
changed.
The Owner may change owners of the Contract at any time by Written Request. A
change of owner will automatically revoke any prior designation of owner. The
change will become effective as of the date the Written Request is signed. The
Company will not be liable for any payment made or action taken before it
records the change..
JOINT OWNER: A Contract may be owned by Joint Owners. If Joint Owners are named,
any Joint Owner must be the spouse of the other Owner. Upon the death the either
Joint Owner, the surviving spouse will be the Primary Beneficiary. Any other
Beneficiary designation will be treated as a Contingent Beneficiary unless
otherwise indicated in a Written Request.
ANNUITANT: The Annuitant is the person on whose life Annuity Payments are based.
The Annuitant is the person designated by the Owner at the Contract Issue Date,
unless changed prior to the Annuity Date. In the event that the Annuitant dies
prior to the Annuity Date, the Owner must designate a new Annuitant. If no new
Annuitant is designated by the Owner within 30 days of the death of the
Annuitant, effective as of the death of the Annuitant, the Owner becomes the
Annuitant. The Annuitant may not be changed in a Contact which is owned by a
non-natural person. Any change of Annuitant is subject to the Company's
underwriting rules in effect at the time the request is recorded by the Company.
ASSIGNMENT OF A CONTRACT: A Written Request specifying the terms of an
assignment of a Contact must be provided to the Administrative Office. The
Company will not be liable for any payment made or action taken before it
records the assignment. The Company will not be responsible for the validity or
tax consequences of any assignment. Any assignment made after the death benefit
has become payable will be valid only with Company consent. If the Contract is
assigned, the Owner's rights may only be exercised with the consent of the
assignee of record.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
GENERAL: On the Annuity Date, the Contract Withdrawal Value will be applied
under the Annuity Option selected by the Owner. The Owner may elect to have the
Contract Withdrawal Value applied to provide a Fixed Annuity, a Variable Annuity
or a combination Fixed and Variable Annuity. The Contract Value may be applied
under the Annuity Option selected if the annuitization is after the 4th policy
year and the option is life contingent or for a minimum of 5 years. If a
combination is elected, the Owner must specify what part of the Contract
Withdrawal Value is to be applied to the Fixed and Variable Options.
ANNUITY DATE: The Annuity Date is selected by the Owner at the Contract Issue
Date, The Annuity Date must be the first day of a calendar month and must be at
least ninety (90) days after the Contract Issue Date. The Annuity Date may not
be later than the earlier of when the Annuitant reaches attained age 90 or the
maximum date permitted under the law of the state in which the Contract is
delivered.
Prior to the Annuity Date, the Owner, subject to the above, may change the
Annuity Date by Written Request. Any change must be requested at least thirty
(30) days prior to the new Annuity Date.
SELECTION OF AN ANNUITY OPTION: An Annuity Option may be selected by Written
Request of the Owner. If no Annuity Option is selected, Option 2 with 120
monthly payments guaranteed will automatically be applied. Unless specified
otherwise, that portion of the Contract Withdrawal Value allocated to the
Variable Account shall be used to provide a Variable Annuity and that portion of
the Contract Withdrawal Value allocated to the Fixed Account and the MVA Account
will be used to provide a Fixed Annuity. Prior to the Annuity Date, the Owner
can change the Annuity Option selected by Written Request. Any change must be
requested at least thirty (30) days prior to the Annuity Date.
FREQUENCY AND AMOUNT OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS: Annuity Payments are paid in monthly
installments. The Contract Withdrawal Value is applied to the Annuity Table for
the Annuity Option selected. If the Contract Withdrawal Value to be applied
under an Annuity Option is less than $5,000, the Company reserves the right to
make a lump sum payment in lieu of Annuity Payments. If the Annuity Payment
would be or become less than $40, the Company reserves the right to reduce the
frequency of payments to an interval which will result in each payment being at
least $50.
ANNUITY OPTIONS: The following Annuity Options or any other annuity option
acceptable to the Company may be selected:
OPTION 1. INCOME FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD: We will pay an income for a specific
number of years in equal installments. We guarantee these payments to be at
least those shown in Table 1.
OPTION 2. LIFE INCOME: We will pay equal monthly payments for a specified
period certain and then for life. We guarantee these payments will be at
least those shown in Table 2.
OPTION 3. INCOME OF SPECIFIED AMOUNT: We will pay income of the specified
amount until the principal and interest are exhausted.
OPTION 4. JOINT AND SURVIVOR INCOME: We will pay equal monthly payments
during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the named Beneficiary/Payee.
We will determine the payment by the sex and Age of each person from Table
4. The Annuitant must be at least 50 years old, and the Beneficiary/Payee
must be at least 45 years old, at the time of the first monthly payment.
ANNUITY: If the Owner selects a Fixed Annuity, the Contract Withdrawal Value is
allocated to the General Account and the Annuity is paid as a Fixed Annuity. If
the Owner selects a Variable Annuity, the Contract Withdrawal Value will be
allocated to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account in accordance with the
selection made by the Owner, and the Annuity will be paid as a Variable Annuity.
If no selection is made, the Contract Withdrawal Value will be applied in the
same proportions to the same Sub-Accounts as the allocations are at the time of
election. Unless the Owner specifies otherwise, the payee of the Annuity
Payments shall be the Owner. The Contract withdrawal Value will be applied to
the applicable Annuity Table contained in the Contract based upon the Annuity
Option selected by the Owner. The amount of the first payment for each $1,000 of
Contract Withdrawal Value is shown in the Annuity Tables.
FIXED ANNUITY: The Owner may elect to have the Contract Withdrawal Value applied
to provide a Fixed Annuity.
The dollar amount of each Fixed Annuity Payment shall be determined in
accordance with Annuity Tables contained in this Contract which are based on the
minimum guaranteed interest rate of 3% per year.
VARIABLE ANNUITY: The Owner may elect to have the Contract Withdrawal Value
applied to provide a Variable Annuity. Variable Annuity Payments reflect the
investment performance of the Variable Account in accordance with the allocation
of the Contract Withdrawal Value to the Sub-Accounts during the Annuity Period.
Variable Annuity Payments are not guaranteed as to the dollar amount.
The dollar amount of the first Variable Annuity Payment is determined in
accordance with the description above. The dollar amount of the Variable Annuity
Payment for each applicable Sub-Account after the first Variable Annuity Payment
is determined as follows:
1. The dollar amount of the first Variable Annuity Payment is divided
by the value of an Annuity Unit for each applicable Sub-Account as of
the Annuity Date. This sets the number of Annuity Units for each
monthly payment for the applicable Sub-Accounts.
2. The fixed number of Annuity Units per payment in each Sub-Account is
multiplied by the Annuity Unit Value for that Sub-Account for the last
Valuation Period of the month preceding the month for which the payment
is due. This result is the dollar amount of the payment for each
applicable Sub-Account.
The total dollar amount of each Variable Annuity Payment is the sum of all
Sub-Account Variable Annuity Payments reduced by the applicable portion of the
Contract Maintenance Charge.
ANNUITY UNIT: The value of any Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account of the Variable
Account was set initially at $10.
The Sub-Account Annuity Unit Value at the end of any subsequent Valuation Period
is determined as follows:
1. the Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation Period is
multiplied by the value of the Annuity Unit for the Sub-Account for the
immediately preceding Valuation Period.
2. The result in (1) is then divided by the Assumed Investment Rate
Factor which equals 1.00 plus the Assumed Investment Rate for the
number of days since the preceding Valuation Date. The Owner can choose
either a 5% or a 3% Assumed Investment Rate.
MORTALITY TABLES: The mortality table used in establishing the Annuity Table is
the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table.
The dollar amount of an Annuity Payment for any Age or combination of Ages not
shown in the Tables or for any other form of Annuity Option agreed to by the
Company will be provided by the Company upon request.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

any riders or endorsements attached to this Contract. This Contract may be
changed or altered only by the President or Senior Vice President and the
Secretary of the Company. A change or alteration must be made in writing.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE: If the Age of any Annuitant has been misstated, any Annuity
benefits payable will be the Annuity benefits provided by the correct Age. After

the next Annuity Payment. Any overpayment will be deducted from future Annuity
Payments until the total is repaid.

REPORTS: At least once each calendar year, the Company will furnish each Owner
with a report showing the Contract Value and any other information as may be

PREMIUM TAXES: Any taxes paid to any governmental entity relating to the
Contract will be deducted from the Purchase Payment or Contract Value. The
Company may, in its sole discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount
from the Contract Value at a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not
waive any right the Company may have to deduct amounts at a later date.

income taxes if it determines, in its sole discretion, that it will incur a tax
as a result of the operation of the Separate Account. The Company will deduct
