2.1 THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT: The Variable Account is named on the
schedule page. It is a separate investment account of Family Life Insurance
Company. Assets allocated to the Variable Account remain our property but are
not subject to claims arising out of other business we may conduct.
2.2 ELIGIBLE MUTUAL FUNDS: current eligible mutual funds are
shown on the schedule page. For each eligible mutual fund there is one
sub-account for qualified plans and one sub-account for nonqualified plans. No
transfer may be made between qualified and nonqualified sub-accounts.
2.3 SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS: We may at our discretion
substitute a different mutual fund for any of the mutual funds shown on the
schedule page. Such substitution may be made with respect to existing
investments and the investment of future premiums.
2.4 NUMBER OF ACCUMULATION UNITS: For each sub-account of the
Variable Account, the number of your Accumulation Units is the sum of:
- 3 -
6
Each premium allocated to the sub-account;
Divided by
The value of an Accumulation Unit for that sub-account for the
valuation period in which we received the premium.
The number will be adjusted for transfers, withdrawals and charges.
Adjustments will be made as of the valuation period in which we receive all
requirements for the transaction, as appropriate.
2.5 VALUE OF EACH ACCUMULATION UNIT: For each sub-account of the
Variable Account, the value of an Accumulation Unit was arbitrarily set at $10
when the sub-account was established. The value may increase or decrease from
one valuation period to the next. For any valuation period the value is:
The value of an Accumulation Unit for the last prior valuation
period.
Multiplied by
The Net Investment Factor for that sub-account for the current
valuation period.
2.6 NET INVESTMENT FACTOR: This is an index used to measure the
investment performance of a sub-account of the Variable Account from one
valuation period to the next. For any sub-account, the Net Investment Factor
for a valuation period is found by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c):
Where (a) is:
The net asset value per share of the mutual fund held
in the sub-account, as of the end of the valuation
period;
Plus
The per-share amount of any dividend or capital gain
distributions by the mutual fund if the "ex-dividend"
date occurs in the valuation period;
Where (b) is:
The net asset value per share of the mutual fund held
in the sub-account as of the end of the last prior
valuation period;
Where (c) is:
The sum of the daily expense risk charge and the
daily mortality risk charge. See Section 4. On an
annual basis, the sum of such charges for
nonqualified plans equals 1.3% of the daily net
- 4 -
7
asset value of the Separate Account. For qualified
plans the sum is 1.0% on the same basis.
We may adjust the Net Investment Factor to make provision for any change in tax
law that requires us to pay tax on capital gains in the Variable Account.
2.7 VALUATION PERIOD: This is the interval from one valuation day
of an eligible mutual fund to the next day. It is measured from the time each
day at which each mutual fund is valued.
3. FIXED ACCOUNT
3.1 FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE: Your Fixed Account value is the sum of
all your premiums allocated to the Fixed Account, as adjusted for credited
interest, transfers, withdrawals, payments under annuity options and charges.
Interest will be credited on your Fixed Account value from date of our receipt
of funds to date of our disbursement.
3.2 INTEREST: Prior to the annuity date interest will be credited
on your Fixed Account value at a guaranteed annual rate of 4.5%. We may also
credit additional interest at our discretion at a rate determined for each
calendar year. We guarantee that rate for the full calendar year. We will
notify you of the rate at the start of each year.
4. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
4.1 CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION CHARGE: This charge of $30 will be
deducted on each contract anniversary that occurs on or prior to the annuity
date. It will also be deducted when the contract value is withdrawn in full if
withdrawal is not on a contract anniversary. This charge will never increase.
4.2 VARIABLE ACCOUNT EXPENSE RISK CHARGE. This charge is made to
compensate us for guaranteeing that the contract administration charge will
never increase. For Nonqualified Plans, on an annual basis it equals 0.5% of
the daily net asset value of the Variable Account. For Qualified Plans, it is
0.2% on the same basis. This charge does not apply to contract values in the
Fixed Account.
4.3 VARIABLE ACCOUNT MORTALITY RISK CHARGE: This charge is made
to compensate us for the mortality guarantees we make under this contract. On
an annual basis it equals 0.8% of the daily net asset value if the Variable
Account. This charge does not apply to contract values in the Fixed Account.

4.4 CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE. This charge may be deducted
upon withdrawal of the contract value in whole or in part. See Section 7.
4.5 PREMIUM TAXES. Any premium taxes imposed by a state or other
government will be deducted at the annuity date.
4.6 PAYMENT OF DEDUCTIONS: The expense risk charge and the
mortality risk charge will be computed and deducted from each sub-account of
the Variable Account for each day the contract is in force. Other charges will
be deducted from the Fixed Account and from each sub-account of the Variable
Account in the ratio of your interest in each to your contract value; however,
if a loan is outstanding under Section 8, no part of the Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge will be deducted from the loan security reserve except in the case
of a withdrawal from the loan security reserve under Section 8.4 or 8.5 to
repay the loan.
5. GENERAL PROVISIONS
5.1 BENEFICIARY: A beneficiary is the person who is to receive
payment under Section 6 on death of the Annuitant or Owner, as applicable. If

YEARS: Payments will be made for the guaranteed period chose (10 or 20 years)
and as long thereafter as the Annuitant lives.
12.5 OPTION 5 - LIFE WITH GUARANTEED RETURN OF FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE:
Payments will be made until the sum of the annuity payments equals the Fixed
Account value at the annuity date, and as long thereafter as the Annuitant
lives.
*12.6 OPTION 6 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY: Payments will be
made during the lifetimes of the Annuitant and a designated second person. The
amount of such payments will not change by reason of the death of the first
joint annuitant to die.
12.7 OPTION 7 - QUALIFIED PLAN OPTION: This option is available
only for Qualified Plans. Annuity payments may be based on (a) the life
expectancy of the Annuitant, (b) the joint life expectancy of the Annuitant and
his or her spouse, or (c) the life expectancy of the surviving spouse if the
Annuitant dies before the annuity date. Payments will be made annually. Each
annual payment will be qual to your fixed Account value on that January 1
divided by the applicable current life expectancy, as

defined by Internal Revenue Service regulations. Each subsequent payment will
be made on the anniversary of the annuity date. Interest will be credited at
our current rate for this option. The rate will not be less than 4%. On death
of the measuring life or lives prior to full distribution of the Fixed Account
value, the remaining Fixed Account value will be paid to the beneficiary in a
lump sum.
12.8 DEATH OF ANNUITANT: On death of the Annuitant while
guaranteed amounts remain unpaid under Option 1, 2, 4 or 5, the beneficiary may
choose either:
(a) To have the payments continued for the amount or
period guaranteed; or
(b) To receive the present value of the remaining
guaranteed payments in a lump sum.
If a beneficiary dies while guaranteed amounts remain unpaid, the present value
will be paid in a lump sum to the beneficiary's estate.
Present values will be computed at the interest rate that was used to compute
the amount of the initial annuity payment.
12.9 PAYMENT: Except for Option 7, payment will be made on the
first day of each month starting with the annuity date, but prior to the
annuity date you may choose a less frequent payment interval instead. The
amount of each payment on an annual, semiannual or quarterly basis will be not
less than the monthly payment computed from the annuity tables in this contract
multiplied by the appropriate factor:
