PURCHASE PAYMENTS This Contract will not be issued until the initial Purchase Payment shown on the Schedule is received by us and accepted at our Customer Service Center. The initial Purchase Payment is due on the issue date. A receipt will be furnished upon request. Any subsequent Purchase Payments may be made at any time prior to the Annuity Date subject to our requirements at the time the Purchase Payment is made. We reserve the right to modify the requirements. The requirements in effect on the issue date are shown on the Schedule. No benefit associated with any Purchase Payment will be provided until the Purchase Payment is accepted by us at our Customer Service Center. We reserve the right to refuse to accept additional Purchase Payments at any time for any reason. PURCHASE PAYMENT ALLOCATION The initial Purchase Payment will be allocated to the Subaccounts and to the Guaranteed Interest Account as you directed in the application and as indicated on the Schedule. We allocate any subsequent Purchase Payment among the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account on the same basis as the initial Purchase Payment unless we receive a Written Notice with new instructions. In states where we are required to refund Purchase Payments during the Free Look Period, that portion of the initial Purchase Payment to be allocated to any Subaccount is allocated to the Fidelity VIP Money Market Subaccount for a period of 15 days from the date that the Contract is mailed from the Customer Service Center. At the expiration of this period, such portion of the Purchase Payment, as adjusted to reflect the investment performance of the Fidelity VIP Money Market Subaccount during this period, is then allocated to the Subaccounts as described above. Form 15208-95 VARIABLE ACCOUNT The Variable Account is an account established by us pursuant to the laws of the State of Texas, to separate the assets funding the variable benefits for the class of Contracts to which this Contract belongs from the other assets of the Company. The Variable Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). All income, gains and losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to the Variable Account are credited to or charged against the Variable Account without regard to other income, gains or losses of the Company. The assets of the Variable Account are our property, but are separate from our General Account and any other separate account maintained by us. That portion of the assets of the Variable Account which is equal to the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the Variable Account is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. We have the right to transfer to our General Account any assets of the Variable Account that are in excess of such reserves and other liabilities. The Variable Account is divided into Subaccounts, each of which invests in a corresponding Portfolio designed to meet the objectives of the Subaccount. The current Subaccounts are shown on the Schedule. We may, from time to time, subject to review by the SEC and other regulatory authorities:
