______________________________________________________________________________
Variable Account Provisions
Separate Account - The Separate Account is shown on the Policy Data Page. It is
a separate account established and owned by us. The assets of the Separate
Account will be used to provide values and benefits under this contract and
similar contracts. The assets of the Separate Account may not be charged with
liabilities arising from any other business in which we take part.
Investment Accounts - One or more of the subdivisions of the Separate Account.
Each Investment Account is invested in a corresponding Portfolio of a particular
mutual fund.
Variable Account Value - The Variable Account Value of this policy equals the
sum for all Investment Accounts of:
(a) the number of accumulation units credited to an Investment Account;
multiplied by
(b) the appropriate accumulation unit value.
Crediting of Accumulation Units - We credit amounts allocated to the Investment
Accounts in the form of accumulation units. The number of accumulation units to
be credited is determined by dividing:
1 the dollar amount allocated to the particular Investment Account, by
2. the accumulation unit value for the particular Investment Account at the end
of the Valuation Period during which the allocation is made.
Accumulation units are credited when Net Purchase Payments are allocated or
amounts are transferred into an Investment Account. Accumulation units are
deducted when expense charges are assessed or when amounts are partially
withdrawn or transferred from an Investment Account.
FPIVA99 01-99 7
Accumulation Unit Value - We determine the accumulation unit
value for each Investment Account on each Valuation Date. The accumulation unit
value for the Money Market account was initially set at one dollar ($1) and the
value of each of the other Investment Accounts was set at five dollars ($5) when
operations commenced. The value for any later Valuation Period is found by
multiplying: 1. the net investment factor for the particular Investment Account,
by 2. the accumulation unit value for the same Investment Account for the
preceding Valuation Period.
The accumulation unit value may increase or decrease from one Valuation Period
to the next.
Net Investment Factor - The net investment factor is used to measure the
investment performance of an Investment Account from one Valuation Period to the
next. For any Investment Account, the net investment factor for a Valuation
Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b), where:
(a) is equal to:
1. the net asset value per share of the mutual fund held in the
Investment Account determined at the end of the current Valuation
Period; plus
2. the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution
paid by the mutual fund during the Valuation Period; plus
3. the per share credit or charge with respect to taxes, if any, paid
or reserved for by us during the Valuation Period that are determined
by us to be attributable to the operation of the Investment Account.
(b) is equal to:
1. the net asset value per share of the mutual fund held in the
Investment Account determined at the end of the preceding Valuation
Period; plus
2. the per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved for the
immediately preceding Valuation Period.
Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investments - We reserve the right,
subject to applicable law, to make additions to, deletions from, or
substitutions for the portfolio shares that are held by the Separate Account or
that the Separate Account may purchase. We reserve the right to eliminate the
shares of any of the eligible portfolios and to substitute shares of another
portfolio, or of another open-end, registered investment company, if the shares
of an eligible portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in our
judgment further investment in any eligible portfolio should become
inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Separate Account. We will not
substitute any shares attributable to your interest in an Investment Account
without written notice to you and prior approval of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940.
We reserve the right to establish additional Investment Accounts, each of which
would invest in a new portfolio, or in shares of another open-end registered
investment company. We also reserve the right to eliminate existing Investment
Accounts. If deemed by us to be in the best interest of
FPIVA99 01-99
8
persons having voting rights under the policies, the Separate Account may be
operated as a management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or it
may be deregistered under such Act in the event such registration is no longer
required, or it may be combined with other AUL Separate Accounts.
We may, by appropriate endorsement, make such changes in this Contract as may be
necessary to reflect any substitution or change.
The investment policy of the Separate Account will not be changed without the
approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Indiana. If required, the
approval process is on file with the Commissioner of the state in which this
Contract is issued.
______________________________________________________________________________
Fixed Account Provisions
Fixed Account Value - The Fixed Account Value of this Contract at any time
equals:
(a) the total of all Net Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account(s);
plus
(b) the total of all amounts transferred to the Fixed Account(s) from the
Variable Account or the Loan Account; plus
(c) interest credited to the Fixed Account(s); minus
(d) the total of all amounts transferred from the Fixed Account(s) to the
Variable Account or the Loan Account; minus
(e) the total of all charges deducted from the Fixed Account(s); minus
(f) the total of all Partial Withdrawals from the Fixed Account(s).
MVA Fixed Accounts and Guaranteed Periods - Amounts allocated to the Fixed
Account may be distributed among the available MVA Fixed Accounts as shown on
the Policy Data Page. When funds are allocated to a particular MVA Fixed
Account, the interest rate declared on such deposit will remain unchanged for
the entire Guaranteed Period applicable to that MVA Fixed Account.
Market Value Adjustment - In the event you transfer or withdraw amounts from an
MVA Fixed Account prior to the end of the Guaranteed Period and not in the MVA
Free Window, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment to the amounts so withdrawn
or transferred. The Market Value Adjustment may be positive, negative, or zero,
depending on current interest rates and the time remaining to the end of the
Guaranteed Period. In no event will the adjustment reduce the Cash Value
attributable to that MVA Fixed Account below that necessary to satisfy statutory
nonforfeiture requirements.
MVA Free Window and Reinvestment - During the MVA Free Window as shown on the
Policy Data Page, you may transfer or withdraw amounts from MVA Fixed Accounts
with expiring Guaranteed Periods without Market Value Adjustment. Such amounts
may be transferred to the Investment Accounts or reinvested in different MVA
Fixed Accounts for different Guaranteed Periods. If you take no such action, the
amount available at the end of the
FPIVA99 01-99
9
Guaranteed Period will be remain in the MVA Fixed Account and a new Guaranteed
Period will apply. We will notify you of the interest rate declared on any such
reinvestment.
MVA Adjustment Factor Formula - A formula will be used to determine the Market
Value Adjustment. Amounts withdrawn or transferred from an MVA Fixed Account
will be multiplied by the result of the following formula to determine the
Market Value Adjustment: (N/12) [ ( 1 + I ) / ( 1 + J ) ]
where:
I is the current interest rate earned by the deposit
J is the interest rate applicable on new deposits in the MVA Fixed Account
with a Guaranteed Period nearest but no shorter than N/12.
N is the number of completed months between the date of withdrawal or
transfer and the expiration of the Guaranteed Period.
______________________________________________________________________________
Transfer Provision
Transfers - You may transfer amounts between the Fixed Account and Investment
Accounts or among Investment Accounts at any time after the Right to Examine
period. The transfer will be made as of the end of the Valuation Period during
which we receive the request.
The minimum transfer amount is shown on the Policy Data Page. The transfer must
be at least for the minimum amount, or, if less, the entire amount in the Fixed
Account or an Investment Account each time that a transfer is made. If after the
transfer the amount remaining in any account is less than $25, we have the right
to transfer the entire amount. Any applicable transfer charge shown on the
Policy Data Page will be assessed. The charge will be deducted from the
account(s) from which the transfer is made on a prorata basis; and, if those
remaining account values are not sufficient, from account values determined by
us.
Transfers are made such that the Account Value on the date of transfer will not
be affected by the transfer, except for the deduction of any transfer charge.
We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers to 12 per year, or to
restrict transfers from being made on consecutive Valuation Dates.
If we determine that the transfers made by or on behalf of one or more Owners is
to the disadvantage of other Owners, we may restrict the rights of certain
Owners. Such restrictions would be applied in any manner reasonably designed to
prevent transfers of some Owners from being disadvantageous to other Owners. We
also reserve the right to limit the size of transfers and remaining balances, to
require a minimum time period between transfers, to limit the number and
frequency of transfers, and to discontinue telephone transfers.

state or federal authority.
FPIVA99 01-99
11
Deferral of Payments - For withdrawals from the Fixed Account, we may defer
payment for up to six months. If we do, interest on the Fixed Account will
continue to be earned at the declared rates. We will not defer any amounts
needed to pay premiums for other policies in force with us.
While payments will generally be made within 7 days of Proper Notice, we may
suspend or delay withdrawal payments or transfers from the Variable Account when
permitted under applicable federal laws, rules and regulations.
______________________________________________________________________________
Death Benefit Provisions
Death Proceeds - The Death Proceeds under this Contract are the greater of:
1. the Account Value less any outstanding loan and accrued interest,
and
2. the total Premiums paid less an adjustment for prior withdrawals,
less any outstanding loan and accrued interest.
Death of the Owner - If you die before the Annuity Date and the beneficiary is
your surviving spouse:
Your surviving spouse will become the new Owner. The policy will continue
with its terms unchanged and your spouse will assume all rights as its
Owner. Within 120 days of your death, your spouse may elect to receive the
Death Proceeds or withdraw any of the Account Value without any early
withdrawal penalty.
If you die before the Annuity Date and the beneficiary is not your surviving
spouse:
The Death Proceeds will be paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum no later
than 120 days after your death, unless the beneficiary elects to have this
value applied under a settlement option. If a settlement option is elected,
the beneficiary must be named the Annuitant, and payments must begin within
one year of your death. The option must also have payments which are
payable over the life of the beneficiary or over a period which does not
extend beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary.
Any amount payable hereunder will not be less than the minimum required by the
law of the state where this Contract is delivered.
Death of the Annuitant - If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date and the
Annuitant is not also the Owner, then:
1. If the Owner is not an individual, the Death Proceeds will be paid to the
Owner in a lump sum no more than 120 days after the Annuitant's death; or
2. If the Owner is an individual, a new Annuitant may be named and the Contract
will continue. If a new Annuitant is not named within 120 days of the former
Annuitant's death, the Account Value, less any Withdrawal Charge, will be paid
to the Owner in a lump sum.
FPIVA99 01-99
12
______________________________________________________________________________
Loans
Prior to the Annuity Date, Owners of Contracts qualified under section 403(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code may receive loans from the Contract. The plan and the
Internal Revenue Code may impose restrictions on loans. The minimum amount of a
new loan is shown on the Policy Data Page.
Interest Charged on Loans - Interest accrues daily from the date of the loan at
the rate shown on the Policy Data Page. Interest is due on each Contract
Anniversary. If you do not pay interest when due, we will add that amount to the
loan.
Loan Account - At the time any loan is issued, we transfer an amount equal to
the loan from the Investment Accounts and the Fixed Account(s) into a Loan
Account as collateral for the loan. On your loan request, you may specify that
the transfer is to be made from specific Investment Accounts or Fixed
Account(s). If you make no specification, this transfer is made from each
account in proportion to the Account Value in the Investment Accounts and the
Fixed Account.
The Loan Account will be credited with interest daily which will be at least
equal to the rate shown on the Policy Data Page. We may credit a higher rate.
Loan Payments - Loans must be repaid in substantially level payments, not less
frequently than quarterly, within five years. Loans used to purchase the
principal residence of the Owner may be repaid within 15 years. If a loan
payment is not paid when due, interest will continue to accrue. If a loan
payment is not paid when due, the entire loan will be treated as a deemed
distribution, may be taxable to the borrower, and may result in a tax penalty.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Ownership, Assignment and Beneficiary Provisions
Ownership - As the Owner of this Contract, you are entitled to all rights given
by its terms. You may exercise these rights without the consent of the
Annuitant, Beneficiary, or Payee. Your rights are subject to the interests of
any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary.
Assignment - You may assign this policy. Your rights and the rights of any
beneficiary will be secondary to the rights of the assignee. We assume no
responsibility for the validity of an assignment. Any assignment will not be
binding upon us until we receive Proper Notice.
Because an assignment may be a taxable event, you should consult competent tax
advisors as to the tax consequences resulting from such an assignment.
Beneficiary - The beneficiary is as named in the application unless later
changed by you. A beneficiary may only be named by the Owner if the Owner is an
individual. If the Owner is not an
FPIVA99 01-99
13
individual, the Owner will be the Beneficiary.
The interests of a beneficiary who dies before the Owner will pass to any
surviving beneficiaries unless you specify otherwise. If no beneficiary survives
the Owner, the rights to Contract Proceeds will vest in your estate.
Change of Beneficiary - You may change the beneficiary of this Contract by
giving Proper Notice. A change will take effect on the date the notice is
signed. However, the change will not apply to any payments made or actions taken
by us before we received the notice. We reserve the right to require that this
Contract be presented for endorsement of any change. An irrevocable beneficiary
may be changed only with written consent of that beneficiary.
Change of Annuitant - If the Owner is an individual, the Annuitant may be
changed by Proper Notice any time prior to the Annuity Date. The Annuitant must
also be an individual and must be you, or someone chosen from among your spouse,
parents, brothers, sisters and children. Any other choice will need our consent.
If the Owner is not an individual, a change in the Annuitant will not be
permitted without our consent.
______________________________________________________________________________
Other Contract Provisions

1. the basic contract;
2. riders and endorsements, if any;
3. the attached copy of your application.

Any other information required by the Insurance Department of the state where

Participation - While this Contract is in force prior to the Annuity Date, its
share of divisible surplus, if any, will be determined each year by AUL and
credited to the Fixed Account.
______________________________________________________________________________
Settlement Options
Contract Proceeds - If the Contract is in the applicable Contract Year reflected
on the Policy Data Page or later and you select the life annuity or survivorship
annuity option, the Contract Proceeds are equal to the Account Value. Otherwise,
Contract Proceeds are equal to the Account Value less any applicable Withdrawal
Charge.
Annuity Date - The Annuity Date is the date chosen for annuity payments to
begin. Such date will be the first day of a calendar month unless otherwise
agreed upon by us. During the Accumulation Period, you may change the Annuity
Date subject to approval by us.
Annuitization - Annuitization is irrevocable once payments have begun. When you
annuitize, you must choose:
1. An annuity payout option, and
2. Either a fixed payment annuity, variable payment annuity, or any
available combination.
Fixed Payment Annuity - The payment amount under a Fixed Payment Annuity option
will be determined by applying the selected portion of the Contract Proceeds to
the Fixed Payment Annuity table then in effect, after deducting applicable
premium taxes. The Settlement Option Tables show the guaranteed monthly payments
available for Fixed Payment Annuities. Payments under the Fixed Payment Annuity
are guaranteed as to dollar amount for the duration of the annuity period.
Variable Payment Annuity - The first payment amount under a Variable Payment
Annuity option is set at annuitization by applying the selected portion of the
Contract Proceeds to the Variable Payment Annuity table you select, after
deducting applicable premium taxes. Payments under the Variable Payment Annuity
option will vary depending on the performance of the underlying Investment
Accounts. The dollar amount of each variable payment may be higher or lower than
the previous payment.
1. Annuity Units and Payment Amount - The dollar amount of the first payment is
divided by the value of an Annuity Unit of the respective Investment Accounts as
of the Annuity Date to establish the number of Annuity Units of each Investment
Account representing each annuity payment. The number of Annuity Units
established remains fixed during the annuity payment period. The dollar amount
of subsequent annuity payments is determined by multiplying the fixed number of
Annuity Units by the Annuity Unit Value for the Valuation Period in which the
payment is due.
2. Assumed Investment Rate - The Assumed Investment Rate (AIR) is the investment
rate built into the Variable Payment Annuity table used to determine your first
annuity payment.
FPIVA99 01-99
15
You may select an AIR from 3% to 5%, in 1% increments, when you annuitize. A
higher AIR means you would receive a higher initial payment, but subsequent
payments would rise more slowly or fall more rapidly. A lower AIR has the
opposite effect. If actual investment experience equals the AIR you choose,
annuity payments will remain level.
3. Value of an Annuity Unit - The value of an Annuity Unit for an Investment
Account for any subsequent Valuation Period is determined by multiplying the
Annuity Unit Value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period by the Net
Investment Factor for the Valuation Period for which the Annuity Unit Value is
being calculated, and multiplying the result by an interest factor to neutralize
the AIR built into the Variable Payment Annuity table which you selected.
4. Transfers - During the Annuity Period, transfers between Investment Accounts
must be made in writing. We reserve the right to restrict such transfers to one
per year and to require that they take place on the anniversary of the Annuity
Date. Upon transfer, the number of Annuity Units for each Investment Account
will be redetermined as of the Valuation Date of the transfer.
Payment Options - All or any part of the proceeds paid at death or upon full
surrender of this Contract may be paid in one sum or according to one of the
following options:
1. Income for a Fixed Period. Proceeds are payable in monthly installments for a
specified number of years, not to exceed 20.
2. Life Annuity. Proceeds are payable in monthly installments for as long as the
payee lives. A number of payments can be guaranteed, such as 120, or the number
of payments required to refund the proceeds applied.
3. Survivorship Annuity. Proceeds are payable in monthly installments for as
long as either the first payee or surviving payee lives.
The Contract Proceeds may be paid in any other method or frequency of payment
acceptable by us.
Contract Proceeds payable in one sum will accumulate at interest from the date
of death or surrender to the payment date at the rate of interest then paid by
us or at the rate specified by statute, whichever is greater.
Adjusted Age - An adjusted age is calculated as follows:
(a) Determine a payee's actual age in years and full months on the date payments
are to begin.
(b) Subtract 1 1/2 months for each year the payee's year of birth exceeds 1900.
Payee - Payee means the person(s) designated by the Owner to receive annuity
payments. The
FPIVA99 01-99
16
Owner may change the payee at any time by giving us 30 days written notice.
Payees may be named regardless of whether the Owner is an individual. If a payee
dies and there is no surviving payee, the Owner must name a new payee, or we
will pay a single sum to the Owner. This single sum will be the commuted value
of any remaining guaranteed payments.
Claims of Creditors - Settlement option payments will be exempt from the claims
of creditors to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Misstatement of Age or Sex - If the Annuitant's age or sex has been misstated,
we will adjust any amount payable under this Contract to that based on the
correct age and sex.
Evidence of Age and Sex - Evidence of age and sex for any Annuitant will be
required before payments begin.
Evidence that the Annuitant is Alive - We may ask for evidence that the
Annuitant is still alive when any annuity payment is due.
