Additional Purchase Payments may be made at the option of the Owner at any time
up to the Maturity Date.
The Company will use the Additional Purchase Payment on the day it is received

SEPARATE ACCOUNT
18. GENERAL
The Separate Account is a segregated investment account maintained by the
Company. A part of the assets of the Separate Account have been allocated for
this and certain other Contracts. The assets of the Separate Account are held
apart from the assets of the Company. Charges against these assets do not arise
out of any other business of the Company.
19. INVESTMENTS OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The assets of the Separate Account will be invested in shares of the mutual fund
shown on page 3 ("Fund"). The Fund is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act").
The assets of each subaccount will be invested, as requested in the application
or as later requested in writing, in shares of the corresponding series of the
Fund shown on page 3. The assets may be allocated among at least one but not
more than five subaccounts. The Owner can change the allocation among the
subaccounts by furnishing notice to the Home Office. The change will take
effect when the Company receives this notice.
The Company may, in its discretion, invest the assets in shares of any other
fund or investment allowed by law.
All distributions from the Fund will be reinvested and kept as assets. When
needed to pay for surrenders, shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account
will be redeemed at net asset value.
20. ACCUMULATION UNITS
This Contract will be credited with the number of Accumulation Units of each
subaccount of the Separate Account bought by the amount of the Purchase Payment
allocated to each subaccount of the Separate Account.
This Contract will also be credited with the number of Accumulation Units of
each subaccount of the Separate Account bought by the amount of any Additional
Purchase Payment allocated to each subaccount of the Separate Account.
21a. CHARGES AGAINST THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Company deducts an amount equal on a yearly basis to 1.4% of the daily net
asset value of each subaccount comprised of 1.25% to pay it for taking on
mortality and expense risks and .15% for taking on expenses related to
administration of the Contract.
21b. CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
On the last business day of each Contract Year or on the date of surrender of
this Contract, if earlier, the Company will deduct a $30.00 Contract
Maintenance Charge from the Accumulated Value but in no case will this charge
exceed 2% of such value. It will be charged against the Accumulated Value by
proportionately reducing the number of Accumulation Units held on that date with
respect to each active subaccount of the Separate Account.
22. NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The net investment factor for a subaccount of the Separate Account for any
Valuation Period is obtained by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c) from the
result, where:
7
(a) is the result of:
(1) the net asset value per share of the series of the Fund at the
end of the current Valuation Period, plus:
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gains
distributions made by the series of the Fund during the current Valuation
Period, plus or minus:
(3) a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for.
(b) is the result of:
(1) the net asset value per share of the series of the Fund as of the
end of the preceding Valuation Period, plus or minus:
(2) the per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for the
preceding Valuation Period.
(c) is a factor for the charges shown in Section 21a.
23. VALUATION OF ASSETS
Fund shares held in the Separate Account will be valued at their net asset
value. Other assets will be valued at fair market value.
24. ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The value of an Accumulation Unit was set at $10.00 on the Unit Effective Date.
The value for a later period is obtained by multiplying the unit value at the
start of the period by the Net Investment Factor for the period from its start
to its end. The unit value may rise or fall based on investment results.
25. ANNUITY UNIT VALUE
The value of an Annuity Unit was set at $10.00 on the Unit Effective Date. The
value for a later period is obtained by first multiplying the unit value at the
start of the period by the Net Investment Factor for the period from its start
to its end and then multiplying the result by a factor which offsets the effect
of the assumed interest rate of 3.5% per year built into the table used in the
Contract.
BENEFITS
26. MATURITY DATE
Annuity payments will start on the Maturity Date shown on page 3. On written
request, it may be changed. But it will not be deferred beyond the Contract
Anniversary on which the attained age of the Annuitant is 90.
27. CHOICE OF ANNUITY OPTION
A choice of Annuity Option should be made by the Owner at least 30 days before
the Maturity Date.
If a choice is not made on time, payments will start on the Maturity Date on a
Variable Annuity basis with the Annuity Option as 10 years certain or life.
Once payments start, no further choice is allowed.
28. AMOUNT OF FIRST ANNUITY PAYMENT
Seven (7) days before the Maturity Date, any premium taxes not yet deducted will
be deducted from the Accumulated Value to determine the Net Accumulated Value.
Such value will then be applied to the proper Annuity Table on page 10 or 11 to
determine the amount of the first monthly annuity payment.
The amount of each payment depends on the sex and adjusted age of the Annuitant
and Joint Annuitant, if any, at the Maturity Date. The adjusted age is
determined at the time the first payment is due. For a payee born prior to
1900, the adjusted age is the actual age. For a payee born 1900 or
8
later, the adjusted age is the actual age minus four years and also minus one
year for each completed five years during the period from 1900 to the payee's
year of birth.
The Company may, at its option, credit interest above the 3.5% per year rate
built into the tables used in this Contract.
29. ALLOCATION OF ANNUITY
When the Owner makes a choice as to annuity option, he or she will also choose
between a Fixed Annuity, a Variable Annuity or any combination of the two. If a
choice is not made at least 30 days before the Maturity Date, as stated in
Section 27, payments will be made on a Variable Annuity basis.
30. VARIABLE ANNUITY
A Variable Annuity is one with payments which vary as to dollar amount through
the annuity period based on the investment results of the Separate Account. The
method by which the amount of the first monthly payment is determined is shown
in Section 28.
Each payment for any due date after the first will be determined by multiplying
the Annuity Unit Value on the date seven days prior to the date on which the
payment is due by a constant number of Annuity Units. The payment may be less
than or greater than the preceding payment.
The constant number of Units is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the
first payment by the then current value of an Annuity Unit on the date the first
payment is due.
The Company guarantees that the dollar amount of each payment after the first
will not be affected by variations in mortality or expense experience from the
mortality and expense assumptions on which the first payment is based.
31. FIXED ANNUITY
A Fixed Annuity is one with payments which stay fixed as to dollar amount
through the annuity period. The method by which the amount of the first monthly
payment is determined is shown in Section 28. Later payments will not be less
than the first but a later payment may be more than the first if the Company
credits interest above the rate built into the tables.
32. ADJUSTMENT OF MONTHLY PAYMENT
If the Net Accumulated Value on the Maturity Date is less than $2,000, the
Company shall have the right to pay such value in one sum in lieu of payments
otherwise provided for. If the Net Accumulated Value is not less than $2,000
but either the Variable Annuity or the Fixed Annuity Payments provided for would
be or become less than $20, the Company shall have the right to change the
frequency of payment to such intervals as will result in payments of at least
$20.
33. MORE FAVORABLE PAYMENT OPTION
At the time fixed annuity payments begin, the single premium fixed annuity rates
then in use by the Company will be used if they provide a payment amount to the
payee greater than that shown in the table on page 10 or 11. Each $1,000 of
cash value shall be considered to be $1,030 for the purpose of using the single
premium annuity rates.
34. ELECTION OF ANNUITY OPTIONS
The owner may elect to have annuity payments made under any one of the Annuity
Options described below or in any other manner agreeable to the Company. Any
such election shall be made in writing to the Company at its Home Office at
least 30 days before the Maturity Date. The election may be changed in the same
manner at any time prior to the surrender of this Contract. If the amount of
payments for different guaranteed periods are the same at any given age, the
Company will deem the longer period certain to have been chosen.
OPTION 1 - LIFE ANNUITY - An annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
Annuitant, ceasing with the last payment due prior to his or her death.
OPTION 2a - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY - an annuity payable monthly during
the joint lifetime of the
9
Xxxxxxxxx and the Joint Annuitant and continuing, after the death of either,
during the lifetime of the survivor, ceasing with the last payment due prior to
the death of the survivor.
OPTION 2b - JOINT AND TWO-THIRDS TO SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY - An annuity payable
monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant and
continuing, after the death of either, during the lifetime of the survivor with
two-thirds payments, ceasing with the last payment due prior to the death of the
survivor.
OPTION 2c - JOINT AND ONE-HALF TO SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY - An annuity payable
monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant and
continuing, after the death of either, during the lifetime of the survivor with
one-half payments, ceasing with the last payment due prior to the death of the
survivor.
OPTION 3 - LIFE ANNUITY WITH 60, 120 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED - An
annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the Annuitant, with the guarantee
that if, at his or her death, payments have been made for less than 60, 120 or
240 monthly period, as elected, any guaranteed annuity payments will be
continued during the remainder of the selected period to the Beneficiary.
OPTION 4 - UNIT REFUND LIFE ANNUITY - An annuity payable monthly during the
lifetime of the Annuitant, with the last payment due prior to his or her death,
provided further that, at such death, the Beneficiary will receive an additional
payment of the then dollar value of the number of Annuity Units equal to the
excess, if any, of (a) over (b) where (a) is the total amount applied under the
option divided by the Annuity Unit Value at the Maturity Date and (b) is the
product of the number of Annuity Units represented by each payment and the
number of payments made.
When this option is applied as a Fixed Annuity (a) shall be the Accumulated
Value applied at the Maturity Date to the Fixed Annuity, (b) shall be the sum of
all Fixed Annuity Payments made.
35. DEATH OF ANNUITANT
On receipt of due proof of the death of the Annuitant before Annuity Payments
have begun, the Company will pay the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary as of the
day on which such due proof is received by the Company. The Death Benefit will
be the greatest of the following amounts:
(a) The Accumulated Value on the date of receipt of Due Proof of Death at
the Home Office of the Company;
(b) The Accumulated Value on the Specified Contract Anniversary
immediately preceding the date of death, increased by the dollar
amount of any purchase payments made and reduced by the dollar amount
of any partial withdrawals since the immediately preceding Specified
Contract Anniversary;
or
(c) 100% of all purchase payments made under the Contract, reduced by the
dollar amount of any partial withdrawals since the Date of Issue.
The Specified Contract Anniversary is every seventh contract anniversary (i.e.
7th, 14th, 21st, etc.)
If the Annuitant and the Owner are one in the same at the time of the
Annuitant's death and the proceeds are payable to (or for the benefit of) the
Annuitant's surviving spouse, such spouse shall have the right to become the
Annuitant under the contract. If the Annuitant dies at a time when the Owner of
the contract is not an individual, the Annuitant will be considered to be the
Owner for the purpose of this section.
On receipt of due proof of death of the Annuitant after Annuity Payments have
begun under an Annuity Option, if any payments remain under the Option they will
be paid to the Beneficiary as provided by the Option.
Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, if no Beneficiary
survives the Annuitant, the proceeds will be paid in one sum to the Owner, if
living; otherwise, to the Owner's estate.
36. DEATH OF OWNER
The purpose of this Section is to qualify this Contract as an annuity contract
in accordance with Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended ("Code"). Its provisions shall apply notwithstanding any other
provisions of the Contract in conflict therewith.
10
In the event any Owner of this Contract who is not the Annuitant dies on or
after the Maturity Date and before the entire interest in the Contract has been
distributed, the remaining portion of such interest will be distributed at least
as rapidly as under the Annuity Option in effect as of the Date of the Owner's
death.
In the event any Owner of this Contract who is not the Annuitant dies prior to
the Maturity Date, the entire interest of that Owner in this Contract shall be
distributed to the Beneficiary within five years after the Owner's death, or
distributed under an Annuity Option providing for annuity payments over the life
of such Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of
such Beneficiary (in accordance with the regulations the Secretary of the
Treasury may prescribe), if such payments begin within one year after the date
of the Owner's death or such later date as the Secretary of the Treasury may
prescribe by regulations. In addition, if any portion of the Owner's interest
in this Contract is payable to (or for the benefit of) the Owner's surviving
spouse, that spouse shall be deemed to have been designated by the Owner as a
"designated beneficiary" for purpose of Section 72(s) of the Code, and shall be
treated as the Owner, and no distributions described hereinabove shall be
required, with respect to that portion of the Contract payable to (or for the
benefit of) such spouse. If the Owner who dies is the one named in the original
application for this Contract, the entire interest of that Owner in this
Contract will be the same as if the Owner had been the Annuitant; if the Owner
who dies is not the one named in the original application for this Contract, the
entire interest of that Owner shall be the Accumulated Value of this Contract.
37. SURRENDER OPTION
The Owner may turn this Contract in for its Surrender Value effective on the
date on which the request in writing is received at the Home Office. The value
will be the Accumulated Value on that date less (a) a Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge, if any, (b) the Contract Maintenance Charge and (c) any applicable
premium taxes not previously deducted.
Any cash payment will be mailed within 7 days after receipt of a proper request;
but the Company may be allowed to defer the payment under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as it is in effect at that time. The Surrender Option is not
available after the Maturity Date.
38. WITHDRAWAL OPTION/WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE
The Owner may withdraw a part of the Surrender Value of this Contract effective
on the date on which the request in writing is received at the Home Office at
any time prior to the Maturity Date provided the Surrender Value remaining after
the surrender is at least equal to the Company's minimum amount rules then in
effect. If the remaining Surrender Value following such surrender is less than
the Company's minimum amount rules, the Company will terminate the contract and
pay the Surrender Value.
If applicable, a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be assessed against any
Accumulated Value surrendered. However, on a noncumulative basis, the Owner may
make partial surrenders during any Contract Year prior to the Maturity Date, up
to the Annual Withdrawal Privilege Amount of 10% of Purchase Payments and the
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will not be assessed against such amounts.
Any Withdrawal Privilege Amount surrenders will be deemed to be from Accumulated
Values other than purchase payments. Surrender of Accumulated Values in excess
of the Withdrawal Privilege Amount and additional surrenders made in any
Contract Year will be subject to the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, if
applicable.
39. CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge may be assessed against the Accumulated Value
when surrendered. The length of time from receipt of the purchase payment to

other contract values. This charge is a percentage of the amount withdrawn (not
to exceed the aggregate amount of the Purchase Payments made) and equals:
