This is a legal contract between the Owner and Transamerica Financial Life
Insurance Company, a Stock Company (Hereafter called the Company, we, our or
us.) The Company will provide annuities and other benefits as set out in this
annuity contract, subject to its provisions. This annuity contract is delivered
in, and is governed by, the laws of the State of New York.

WE AGREE

.. To provide annuity payments as set forth in Section 10 of this policy,

.. Or to pay Withdrawal benefits in accordance with Section 5 of this policy,

.. Or to pay death proceeds in accordance with Section 9 of this policy.

This contract permits the accumulation of funds on a tax-deferred basis and
provides a periodic annuity payment for the life of the Annuitant or for a
certain period of time. Payments start on the Annuity Commencement Date.

The smallest annual rate of investment return that would have to be earned on
the assets of the Separate Account so that the dollar amount of variable Annuity
Payments will not decrease is 6.25%

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, a daily charge corresponding to an
annual charge of no more than 1.85% for the Policy Value death benefit option
(2.15% for the Return of Premium death benefit option and 2.55% for the Annual
Step-Up death benefit option), is applied by the Company to the assets of the
Separate Account. The corresponding annual charge after the Annuity Commencement
Date is no more than 1.45% regardless of death benefit option elected prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date. The amounts applicable to this policy are shown
on the Policy Data page. In addition, a maximum annual Service Charge of $30 is
assessed (prior to the Annuity Commencement Date only) on each Policy
Anniversary if either the sum of premium less Withdrawals is less than $50,000
(or the Policy Value is less than $50,000) on the Policy Anniversary.

See the "Service Charge" provision in Section 4 and the "Charges and Deductions"
provision in Section 6 of this contract for more details. These agreements are
subject to the provisions of this contract. This contract is issued in
consideration of the application and payment of the initial premium as provided.
This contract may be applied for and issued to qualify as a tax-qualified
annuity under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

You may cancel this contract by delivering or mailing a written notice to us or
Your agent. You must return the contract before midnight of the twentieth day
after the day You receive it. Notice given by mail and return of the contract by
mail are effective upon being mailed, properly addressed and postage prepaid. We

after we receive notice of cancellation and the returned contract.

period is extended to 60 days and we will return the Policy Value, including any
fees and charges, for this contract within 10 days after we receive notice of
cancellation and the returned contract.

The value of the Subaccount(s) is based on the value of the Separate Account
assets which are not guaranteed as to fixed dollar amounts and will increase or
decrease in value based on investment results.

SECTION 3 - PREMIUM PAYMENTS

PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS

Premium payments may be made any time while this policy is in force before the
Annuity Commencement Date. You may start or stop, increase or decrease, or skip
any premium payments. We reserve the right to prohibit premium payments to the
Fixed Account options described in Section 7 after the Policy Date. We will
provide 30 days advance written notice of this decision. We will also provide
timely written notification to You once any such prohibition of premiums is no
longer in effect.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM PREMIUM PAYMENT

The premium payments may not be more than the amount permitted by law if this is
a tax-qualified annuity. The minimum initial premium payment is $5,000. If this
policy is being used as a tax-qualified annuity, the minimum initial premium is
$1,000, except that no minimum initial premium payment will be required for
403(b) annuities. The minimum subsequent premium payment we will accept is $50.
The maximum total premium payments which we will accept without prior Company
approval is $1,000,000 for issue ages 0-80. For issue ages over 80, the maximum
total premium payments which we will accept without prior Company approval is
$500,000.

If premium payments are discontinued, the Policy Value at the cessation of
premium payments will be held by us and the Fixed Account portion of the policy
will continue to be credited with at least the guaranteed interest rate provided
in this policy. We may declare a higher rate in advance. On the Annuity
Commencement Date we will distribute the Policy Value under one of the Annuity
Payment Options.

PREMIUM PAYMENT DATE

The premium payment date is the date on which the premium payment is credited to
the policy. The initial premium payment less any applicable premium taxes will
be credited to the policy within two business days of receipt of the premium
payment and the information needed. Subsequent additional premium payments will
be credited to the policy as of the business day the premium payment and
required information are received. A business day is any day that the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading.

ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS

Premium payments may be applied to various Investment Options, which we make
available. For each premium payment. You must indicate what percentage to
allocate to various Investment Options. Each percent may be either zero or any
whole number; however, the allocation among all accounts must total 100%.

CHANGE OF ALLOCATION

You may change the allocation of premium payments to various Investment Options
by providing us notice containing the facts that we need. Premium payments
received after the date on which we receive Your notice will be applied on the
basis of the new allocation.

PREMIUM TAXES

The insurance laws of the State of New York currently do not allow the
imposition of premium taxes on annuity considerations. Therefore, wherever
reference is made in this annuity policy to the deduction of premium taxes, such
deductions will not be made while the Owner is a resident of the State of New
York, unless subsequent changes in New York's insurance laws provide otherwise.
The amount of any applicable premium tax imposed on amounts relating to this
annuity policy may be withdrawn from this annuity policy. For purposes of this
annuity policy, premium taxes include retaliatory taxes or similar taxes.

SECTION 4 - POLICY VALUE

POLICY VALUE

On or before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Policy Value is equal to Your:

(a) premium payments; minus
(b) Gross Partial Withdrawals (as defined in Section 5); plus
(c) interest credited to the Fixed Account (see Section 7); plus
(d) accumulated gains in the Separate Account (see Section 6); minus
(e) accumulated losses in the Separate Account (see Section 6); minus
(f) service charges, premium taxes, rider fees and transfer fees, if any.

You may use the Policy Value on the Annuity Commencement Date to provide
lifetime income or income for a period of no less than 60 months under the
General Payment Provisions in Section 10.

SERVICE CHARGE

On each Policy Anniversary during any Policy Year before the Annuity
Commencement Date, we reserve the right to assess a Service Charge up to $30 for
policy administration expenses. The Service Charge will be deducted from each
Subaccount in proportion to the portion of Separate Account Policy Value (prior
to such charge) in each Subaccount In no event will the Service Charge exceed 2%
of the Policy Value on the Policy Anniversary.

The Service Charge will not be deducted on a Policy Anniversary if, (1) the sum
of all premium payments less the sum of all Withdrawals taken equals or exceeds
$50,000; or (2) the Policy Value equals or exceeds $50,000.

SECTION 5 - CASH VALUE AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

CASH VALUE

On or before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Cash Value is equal to the
Policy Value. Information on the current amount of Your policy's Cash Value is
available upon request. The Cash Value may be partially withdrawn or will be
paid in the event of a full Surrender of the policy. We must receive Your
written partial Withdrawal or Surrender request before the Annuity Commencement
Date.

There is no Cash Value once an Annuity Income Option has been selected.

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

We will pay You a portion of the Cash Value as a Partial Withdrawal provided we
receive Your written request while the policy is in effect and before the
Annuity Commencement Date. When You request a Partial Withdrawal You must tell
us how it is to be allocated from among the Investment Options. If Your request
for a Partial Withdrawal from any Investment Option is less than or equal to the
Cash Value in that option, we will pay the amount of Your request. However, if
Your request for a Partial Withdrawal from any Investment Option is greater than
the Cash Value in that option, we will pay You the Cash Value of that Investment
Option.

The Gross Partial Withdrawal is the total amount which will be deducted from
Your Policy Value as a result of each Partial Withdrawal. The Gross Partial
Withdrawal equals the requested Partial Withdrawal.

If no premium payments have been made for three Policy Years and any Partial
Withdrawal reduces the Policy Value below $2,000, we reserve the right to pay
the full Policy Value and terminate the policy.

We may delay payment of the Cash Value from the Fixed Account for up to 6 months
after we receive the request. If payment of the Partial Withdrawal or full
Surrender is not made within 10 business days of our receipt of the request, We
will pay interest on that amount from the date of receipt to the date of
payment. The interest rate will be the rate that is currently paid on Fixed
Income Option 1, Interest Payments. If the owner dies after we receive the
request, but before the request is processed, the request will be processed
before the death proceeds are determined.

For interest crediting purposes only, the oldest premium payment is considered
to be withdrawn first, then the interest associated with that premium payment.
If the amount withdrawn exceeds this amount, the next oldest premium payment,
and its associated interest is considered to be withdrawn, and so on until the
most recent premium payment and its associated interest is considered to be
withdrawn (i.e. Partial Withdrawals are made on a First-In, First-Out or FIFO
basis).

Amounts may be withdrawn under one of the options as described below.

LUMP SUM

Beginning in the first Policy Year, the Cumulative Earnings are available as a
lump sum distribution once per Policy Year.

SYSTEMATIC PAYOUT OPTION

Beginning in the first Policy Year, a Systematic Payout Option (SPO) is
available on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. At the time a
SPO payout is made, such payout must be at least $50 and may not exceed the
greater of A or B, divided by the number of payouts made per year (e.g. 12 for
monthly).

A is the Cumulative Earnings, if any, in the Policy Value; and

B is an amount equal to 10% of the premium payments.

Monthly and quarterly payouts must be sent through electronic funds transfer
directly to a checking or savings account. You may start or stop SPO payouts at
any time; however, 30 days' written notice is required to stop SPO payouts.

Once You have elected a SPO, You must wait a minimum time before the first SPO
payment: 1 month for monthly, 3 months for quarterly, 6 months for semi-annual,
or 12 months for annual. If a Lump Sum distribution is taken in the same Policy
Year when SPO payments are being taken, and the total Withdrawal would exceed
the greater of A or B above in that Policy Year, the SPO will be stopped.

U1667

SECTION 6 - SEPARATE ACCOUNT

MINIMUM REQUIRED DISTRIBUTION

For tax-qualified plans, Partial Withdrawals taken to satisfy minimum
distribution requirements under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) are available. The amount available from this annuity with respect to the
minimum distribution requirements is based solely on this policy.

Systematic minimum distributions must be at least $50 or a lump sum Distribution
is available if minimum required distributions are less than $50.

GUARANTEED RETURN OF FIXED ACCOUNT PREMIUM PAYMENTS

Upon full Surrender of the policy, You will always receive at least the premium
payments made to, less prior Withdrawals and transfers from, the Fixed Account.

MINIMUM VALUES

Benefits available under this policy, including any paid up annuity, Cash Value,
or death benefits that may be available, are not less than those required by the
insurance laws of the State of New York. Such benefits will be increased as
interest is credited to the policy (and decreased by any Withdrawals).

SEPARATE ACCOUNT

We have established and will maintain one or more Separate Account(s), under the
laws of the state of New York. Any realized or unrealized income, net gains and
losses from the assets of the Separate Account are credited to or charged
against it without regard to our other income, gains or losses. Assets are put
in the Separate Account for this policy, as well as for other variable annuity
policies. Any Separate Account may invest assets in shares of one or more mutual
fund portfolios, or in the case of a managed Separate Account, direct
investments in stocks or other securities as permitted by law. Fund shares refer
to shares of underlying mutual funds or prorata ownership of the assets held in
a Subaccount of a managed Separate Account. Fund shares are purchased, redeemed
and valued on behalf of the Separate Account.

The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts. Each Subaccount invests
exclusively in shares of one of the portfolios of an underlying fund. We reserve
the right to add or remove any Subaccount of the Separate Account.

The Separate Account meets the definition of a "Separate Account": under rule
0-1(e)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The assets of
the Separate Account are our property. These assets will equal or exceed the
reserves and other contract liabilities of the Separate Account. These assets
will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we
conduct. We reserve the right, subject to regulations governing the Separate
Account, to transfer assets of a Subaccount, in excess of the reserves and other
contract liabilities with respect to that Subaccount, to another Subaccount or
to our General Account.

We will determine the fair market value of the assets of the Separate Account in
accordance with a method of valuation, which we establish in good faith.
Valuation Period means the period of time from one determination of the value of
each Subaccount to the next. Such determinations are made when the value of the
assets and liabilities of each Subaccount is calculated. This is generally the
close of business on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open. In
order to determine the value of an asset on a day that is not a Business Day,
the Company will use the value of that asset as of the end of the next Business
Day on which trading takes place.

The Company will determine the value of the reserves for assets in the Separate
Account at the end of each Business Day. In order to determine the value of
reserves for assets on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company will use
the value of that asset as of the end of the prior Business Day on which trading
took place.

We also reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account, which we
determine to be associated with the class of policies to which this policy
belongs, to another Separate Account. If this type of transfer is made, the term
"Separate Account", as used in the policy, shall then mean the Separate Account
to which the assets were transferred.

We also reserve the right, when permitted by law to:

(a) deregister the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(b) manage the Separate Account under the direction of a committee at any time;
(c) restrict or eliminate any voting rights of policy owners or other persons
who have voting rights as to the Separate Account;
(d) combine the Separate Account with one or more other Separate Accounts;
(e) create new Separate Accounts;
(f) add new Subaccounts to or remove existing Subaccounts from the Separate
Account, or combine Subaccounts; and
(g) add new underlying mutual funds, remove existing mutual funds, or
substitute a new fund for an existing fund.

V1545

Page 6

SECTION 6 - CONTINUED

The Net Asset Value of a fund share is the per-share value calculated by the
mutual fund or, in the case of a managed Separate Account, by the Company. The
Net Asset Value is computed by adding the value of the Subaccount's investments,
cash and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing by the
number of shares outstanding. Net Asset Values of fund shares reflect investment
advisory fees and other expenses incurred in managing a mutual fund or a managed
Separate Account.

CHANGE IN INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OR POLICY OF A MUTUAL FUND

If required by law or regulation, an investment policy of the Separate Account
will only be changed if approved by the appropriate insurance official of the
state of New York or deemed approved in accordance with such law or regulation.
If so required, the process for obtaining such approval is filed with the
insurance official of the state or district in which this policy is delivered.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

The Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and the Administrative Charge are each
deducted both before and after the Annuity Commencement Date to compensate for
changes in mortality and expenses not anticipated by the mortality and
administration charges guaranteed in the policy.

The Service Charge is deducted prior to the Annuity Commencement Date only.

If the Mortality and Expense Risk Fee is more than sufficient, the Company will
retain the balance as profit or may reduce this fee in the future.

ACCUMULATION UNITS

The Policy Value in the Separate Account before the Annuity Commencement Date is
represented by accumulation units. The dollar value of accumulation units for
each Subaccount will change from business day to business day reflecting the
investment experience of the Subaccount.

Premium Payments allocated to and any amounts transferred to the Subaccounts
will be applied to provide accumulation units in those Subaccounts. The number
of accumulation units purchased in a Subaccount will be determined by dividing
the amount allocated to or transferred to that Subaccount, by the value of an
accumulation unit for that Subaccount on the premium payment or transfer date.

The number of accumulation units withdrawn or transferred from the Subaccounts
will be determined by dividing the amount withdrawn or transferred by the value
of an accumulation unit for that Subaccount on the Withdrawal or transfer date.

The value of an accumulation unit on any business day is determined by
multiplying the value of that unit at the end of the immediately preceding
valuation period by the net investment factor for the valuation period.

The net investment factor used to calculate the value of an accumulation unit in
each Subaccount for the Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b)
and subtracting (c) from the result, where:

(a) is the result of:
(1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined
as of the end of the current valuation period; plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain Distributions
made by the fund for shares held in that Subaccount if the ex-dividend
date occurs during the valuation period; plus or minus
(3) a per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved for, which we
determine to have resulted from the investment operations of that
Subaccount.
(b) is the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined
as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
(c) is a factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and
Administrative Charge before the Annuity Commencement Date. This factor is
less than or equal to, on an annual basis, the percentage shown on the
Policy Data Page of the daily net asset value of a fund share held in that
Subaccount.

Since the net investment factor may be greater or less than one, the
accumulation unit value may increase or decrease.

SECTION 7 - FIXED ACCOUNT

FIXED ACCOUNT

The Fixed Account is comprised of a one-year Guaranteed Period Option and the
Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Option that we may choose to offer. Premium payments
applied to and any amounts transferred to the Fixed Account will reflect a fixed
interest rate. The interest rates we set will be credited for increments of at
least one year measured from each premium payment or transfer date. These rates
will never be less than the Fixed Account Guaranteed Minimum Effective Annual
Interest Rate shown on Page 3.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to prohibit premium payments
and/or transfers allocated to any of the Fixed Account options described in this
section after the Policy Date. We will provide 30 days advance written notice of
this decision. We will also provide timely written notification to You once any
such prohibition of premium payments and/or transfers is no longer in effect.

GUARANTEED PERIOD OPTION

We will offer the one-year Guaranteed Period Option for the initial premium
payment and may offer it for subsequent premium payments or amounts transferred
to the Fixed Account. The current interest rate we set for funds entering a
Guaranteed Period Option (GPO) is guaranteed until the end of that option's
Guaranteed Period. At that time, the premium payment made or amount transferred
into the GPO, less any Withdrawals or transfers from that GPO, plus accrued
interest, will be rolled into a new one-year GPO or may be transferred to any
Subaccount(s) within the Separate Account(s).

You may choose the Investment Option(s) You want the funds transferred into by
giving us a written notice within 30 days before the end of the expiring
option's Guaranteed Period. However, any Guaranteed Period elected may not
extend beyond the maximum Annuity Commencement Date defined in Section 11. In
the absence of such election, the funds will be rolled into a new one-year GPO
if we are allowing transfers into new one-year GPO's at that time You will be
mailed a notice of completion of any rollover with the new interest rate
applicable. The new GPO will be deemed as accepted if we do not receive a
written rejection within 30 days from the postmark date of the completion
notice. If we are prohibiting transfers into new one-year GPO's, we will provide
30 days advance written notice of this decision. We will also provide timely
written notification to you once any such prohibition of transfers is no longer
in effect.

When funds are withdrawn or transferred from the one year GPO, the Policy Value
associated with the oldest premium payment or rollover is considered to be
withdrawn/transferred first. If the amount withdrawn/transferred exceeds the
Policy Value associated with the oldest premium, the Policy Value associated
with the next oldest premium payment or rollover is considered to be
withdrawn/transferred next, and so on until the Policy Value associated with the
most recent premium payment or rollover is considered to be
withdrawn/transferred (this is a "First-In, First-Out" or FIFO basis).

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION

We may offer a Dollar Cost Averaging one-year (DCA) Fixed Account Option
separate from the Guaranteed Period Option. This option will have a one-year
interest rate guarantee. The current interest rate we set for the DCA Fixed
Account may differ from the rates credited on the one-year GPO in the Fixed
Account. In addition, the current interest rate we credit may vary on different
portions of the DCA Fixed Account. The credited interest rate will never be less
than the Fixed Account Guaranteed Minimum Effective Annual Interest Rate shown
on Page 3. The DCA Fixed Account Option will only be available under a Dollar
Cost Averaging program as described in Section 8.

SECTION 8 - TRANSFERS

A. TRANSFERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, You may transfer the value of the
accumulation units from one Investment Option to another by providing us notice
containing the facts that we need.

Transfers of interest credited in the one-year GPO to other Investment Options
are allowed on a "First-In, First-Out' basis. Such transfers may be made
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Each such transfer must be at
least $50.

Transfers of Policy Value from the Separate Account are subject to a minimum of
$500 or the entire Subaccount Policy Value, if less. However, if the remaining
Subaccount Policy Value is less than $500, we reserve the right to include that
amount as part of the transfer.

L1141

Page 8

SECTION 8 - CONTINUED

We reserve the right to limit transfers to no more than 12 in any one Policy
Year. Any transfers in excess of 12 per Policy Year may be charged a $10 per
transfer fee. Transfers among multiple Investment Options will be treated as one
transfer in determining the number of transfers that have occurred. We also
reserve the right to prohibit transfers to the Fixed Account. If we are
prohibiting transfers to the Fixed Account, we will provide 30 days advance
written notice of this decision. You must indicate which Investment Option(s) to
transfer the funds to while such prohibition is in effect. We will also provide
timely written notification to you once any such prohibition of transfers is no
longer in effect.

The policy was not designed for professional market timing organizations or
other persons that use programmed, large, or frequent transfers. The use of such
transfers may be disruptive to an underlying portfolio. We reserve the right to
reject any transfer request from any person in the interest of overall fund
management or, if, in our judgment, an underlying fund would be unable to invest
effectively in accordance with its investment objectives and policies or would
otherwise be potentially adversely affected or if an underlying fund would
reject our purchase order. We also reserve the right to revoke Your fax, and
electronic transfer privileges at any time without revoking all owner's fax and
electronic transfer privileges.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, You may instruct us to automatically
transfer a specified amount from the Money Market Subaccount, U.S. Government
Securities Subaccount, or out of the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Fixed Account
Option to any other Subaccount(s) of the Separate Account. The automatic
transfers can occur monthly or quarterly.

Transfers will continue until the elected Subaccount or DCA Fixed Account value
is depleted. The amount transferred each time must be at least $500. All
transfers from the DCA account will be the same amount as the initial transfer.
Changes to the Subaccounts to which these transfers are allocated are not
restricted. Transfers must be scheduled for at least 6, but not more than 24
months or for at least 4, but not more than 8 quarters each time the Dollar Cost
Averaging program is started or restarted following termination of the program
for any reason.

Dollar Cost Averaging results in the purchase of more accumulation units when
the value of the accumulation unit is low, and fewer accumulation units when the
value of the accumulation unit is high. However, there is no guarantee that the
Dollar Cost Averaging program will result in higher Policy Values or will
otherwise be successful.

Dollar Cost Averaging may be discontinued before its scheduled completion by
sending written notice to us. While Dollar Cost Averaging is in effect, Asset
Rebalancing is not available. If Dollar Cost Averaging is discontinued prior to
the end of the scheduled period, all remaining funds in the Dollar Cost
Averaging Fixed Account will be transferred at that time. Unless we are notified
otherwise, the funds remaining in the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account will
be transferred to the Subaccounts in the percentages currently indicated.

ASSET REBALANCING

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, You may instruct us to automatically
transfer amounts among the Subaccounts of the Separate Account on a regular
basis to maintain a desired allocation of the Policy Value among the various
Subaccounts offered. Rebalancing will occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual
or annual basis, beginning on a date selected by You. You must select the
percentage of the Policy Value desired in each of the various Subaccounts
offered (totaling 100%). Any amounts in the Fixed Account are ignored for the
purposes of Asset Rebalancing. Rebalancing can be started, stopped or changed at
any time. Asset Rebalancing is not available while Dollar Cost Averaging is in
effect. Rebalancing will cease as soon as we receive a request for any other
transfer.

B. TRANSFERS AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE

After the Annuity Commencement Date, You may transfer the value of the variable
annuity units from one Subaccount to another within the Separate Account or to
the Fixed Account. If You want to transfer the value of the variable annuity
units. You must provide a signed notice, containing the facts that we need. We
reserve the right to limit transfers between the Subaccounts or to the Fixed
Accounts to once per Policy Year.

The minimum amount which may be transferred is the lesser of $10 monthly income
or the entire monthly income of the variable annuity units in the Subaccount
from which the transfer is being made. If the monthly income of the remaining
units in a Subaccount is less than $10, we have the right to include the value
of those variable annuity units as part of the transfer.

After the Annuity Commencement Date, no transfers may be made from the Fixed
Account to any other Investment Options.

SECTION 9 - DEATH PROCEEDS

A. DEATH PROCEEDS PRIOR TO ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE

The amount of death proceeds will be the greater of (a) or (b) where:

(a) is the Policy Value on the date we receive due proof of death and an
election of a method of settlement, and;
(b) is the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB), if any, plus any additional
premium payments received, (less any Gross Partial Withdrawals) from the
date of death to the date of payment of death proceeds.

If You have not selected an income option by the date of death, the beneficiary
may make such election within one year of the date we receive due proof of the
owner's or Xxxxxxxxx's death as described in C below. The beneficiary may elect
to receive the death proceeds as a lump sum payment or may use the death
proceeds to provide any of the annuity Income Options described in Section 10.
Interest on death proceeds will be paid as required by law.

B. GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT

The amount of the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB) is based on the death
benefit option shown on the Policy Data Page. You may not change the GMDB option
after the policy is issued.

Annual Step-Up Death Benefit

This GMDB is equal to:

(1) the largest Policy Value on the Policy Date or on any Policy
Anniversary prior to the earlier of the date of death or the
Annuitant's 81 st birthday; plus

(2) any premium payments subsequent to the date of the Policy Anniversary
with the largest Policy Value; minus

(3) any Adjusted Partial Withdrawals (as described below), subsequent to
the date of the Policy Anniversary with the largest Policy Value.

Return of Premium Death Benefit

This GMDB is equal to the total premiums paid for this policy, less any
Adjusted Partial Withdrawals (as described below), as of the date of death.

A partial Withdrawal taken as provided in Section 5 will reduce the Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit by an amount referred to as the "Adjusted Partial
Withdrawal". The Adjusted Partial Withdrawal may be a different amount than the
Gross Partial Withdrawal described in Section 5. If at the time of the partial
Withdrawal, the Policy Value is greater than the GMDB, the Adjusted Partial
Withdrawal will equal the Gross Partial Withdrawal.

The Adjusted Partial Withdrawal formula is
APW = GPW times (DP/PV) where:

APW = Adjusted Partial Withdrawal
GPW = Gross Partial Withdrawal
DP = Death Proceeds prior to the Withdrawal (equal to the greater of PV and
GMDB)
PV = Policy Value prior to the Withdrawal
GMBD = Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit prior to the Withdrawal

C. DEATH PRIOR TO ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE

Payment of death proceeds depends upon the relationships between the owner,
Xxxxxxxxx, and beneficiary as outlined below.

If there are surviving owners, the surviving owners automatically take the place
of any beneficiary designation.

X. Xxxxxxxxx Death

When We have due proof that the Annuitant died before the Annuity
Commencement Date, the death proceeds are payable to the beneficiary.
Interest upon the death proceeds paid will be computed daily at the rate
currently being credited to the Fixed Account from the date of death, in
connection with the death claim of this policy to the date of payment and
will be considered a part of the total sum paid. If no beneficiary is
designated and there is no surviving owner, the owner's estate will become
the beneficiary.

a) When the beneficiary is the deceased Xxxxxxxxx's surviving spouse. The
beneficiary may elect to continue this policy as owner and Annuitant
rather than receiving the death proceeds. If the policy is continued,
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit (if any) over the Policy Value will then be added to the
Policy Value pro rata according to the amount of Policy Value in each
Investment Option at that time. This is a one-time only Policy Value
adjustment applied at the time the policy is continued, and the
current death benefit in effect will continue to apply.

D568

Page 10

SECTION 9 - CONTINUED

If the beneficiary elects to have the death proceeds paid rather than
continue the policy, the death proceeds must be distributed pursuant
to subsections b)(1) and (2) below.

b) When the beneficiary is an individual who is not the deceased
Annuitant's surviving spouse. The death proceeds must be distributed:

(1) by the end of 5 years after the date of the deceased
Xxxxxxxxx's death, or
(2) payments must begin no later than one year after the
deceased Xxxxxxxxx's death and must be made for a period
certain or for this beneficiary's lifetime, so long as any
period certain does not exceed this beneficiary's life
expectancy. Election of this option must be made at least 60
days prior to the one year anniversary of the Annuitant's
death.

c) When the beneficiary is not a natural person. The death proceeds must
be distributed within 5 years after the Annuitant's death.

II. Owner Death

If the deceased owner is also the Annuitant, Subsection C.I. "Annuitant
Death" above applies.

If an owner or joint owner who is not an Annuitant dies prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date and before the entire interest in the policy is
distributed, the successor owner as defined below will become the new
owner, and no death proceeds are payable. The person or entity first listed
below who is alive or in existence on the date of that death will become
the successor owner:

a) surviving owner;
b) primary beneficiary;
c) contingent beneficiary; or
d) deceased owner's estate.

The successor owner will need to take distributions according to a), b), or
c) below:

a) If the sole successor owner is the deceased owner's spouse. We will
continue this policy with the successor owner as the new owner.

b) If the successor owner is an individual who is not the deceased
owner's spouse, the Policy Value must be distributed:

(1) by the end of 5 years after the date of the deceased owner's
death, or

(2) payments must begin no later than one year after the deceased
owner's death and must be made for a period certain or for the
successor owner's lifetime, so long as any period certain does
not exceed the successor owner's life expectancy. Election of
this option must be made at least 60 days prior to the one year
anniversary of the deceased owner's death.

c) If the successor owner is not a natural person, the Policy Value must
be distributed within 5 years after the owner's death.

D. DEATH ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE

The death proceeds on or after the Annuity Commencement Date depend on the
payment option selected. If any owner dies on or after the Annuity Commencement
Date, but before the entire interest in the policy is distributed, the remaining
portion of such interest in the policy will be distributed to the owner's
beneficiary at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used
as of the date of that owner's death.

E. AN OWNER IS NOT AN INDIVIDUAL

In the case of a non tax-qualified annuity, if any owner or beneficial owner is
not an individual, then for purposes of Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue
Code's mandatory distribution provisions in subsection C or D above, (1) the
primary Annuitant will be treated as the owner of the policy, and (2) if there
is any change in the primary Annuitant, such a change will be treated as the
death of the owner.

SECTION 10 - ANNUITY PAYMENTS

A. GENERAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS

Payment

If this policy is in force on the Annuity Commencement Date, we will use the
Fixed Account portion and/or the Separate Account portion of the Policy Value to
make annuity payments to the Payee under Option 2 and/or 3-V, respectively, with
10 years certain, or if elected, under one or more of the other options
described in this section. However, the option(s) elected must provide for
lifetime income or income for a period of at least 60 months. You will become
the Annuitant at the Annuity Commencement Date. Payments will be made at 1, 3, 6
or 12-month intervals. We reserve the right to change the frequency of payments
to avoid making payments of less than $20.00.

Before the Annuity Commencement Date, if the death proceeds become payable or if
You Surrender this policy, we will pay any proceeds in one sum, or if elected,
all or part of these proceeds may be placed under one or more of the options
described in this section. If we agree, the proceeds may be placed under some
other method of payment instead.

Betterment of Rates

The amounts shown in the tables on page 16-17 are the guaranteed amounts.
Current amounts offered to individuals of the same class may be obtained from
us. Fixed annuity payments at the time of their commencement will not be less
than those which would be provided by the application of the Policy Value to
purchase any single consideration immediate annuity contract (as described in
Section 4223 (a)(1)(E) of the New York Insurance Law) offered by the Company at
the time to the same class of Annuitant.

Adjusted Age

Payments under Options 2 and 4 and the first payment under Options 3-V and 5-V
are determined based on the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The adjusted age is
the Annuitant's actual age on the Annuitant's nearest birthday, at the Annuity
Commencement Date, adjusted as follows:

Annuity
Commencement Date Adjusted Age
----------------- ------------------
Before 2010 Actual Age
2010 - 2019 Actual Age minus 1
2020 - 2026 Actual Age minus 2
2027 - 2033 Actual Age minus 3
2034 - 2040 Actual Age minus 4
After 2040 Determined by us

Election of Optional Method of Payment

Before the Annuity Commencement Date You can elect or change an Income Option.
You may elect, in a notice You sign which gives us the facts that we need,
annuity payments that may be either variable, fixed, or a combination of both.
If You elect a combination. You must also tell us what part of the policy
proceeds on the Annuity Commencement Date are to be applied to provide each type
of payment. (You must also specify which Subaccounts.) The amount of a combined
payment will be the sum of the variable and fixed payments. Payments under a
variable Income Option will reflect the investment performance of the selected
Subaccount of the Separate Account.

Payee

Unless You specify otherwise, the Payee shall be the Annuitant, or the
beneficiary as defined in the Beneficiary provision in Section 11.

Proof of Age

We may require proof of the age of any person who has an annuity purchased under
Options 2, 3-V, 4 and 5 -V of this section before we make the first payment.

Minimum Proceeds

If the Policy Value on the Annuity Commencement Date is less than $2,000, we
reserve the right to pay the Policy Value out as a lump sum instead of applying
it to an income option.

Premium Tax

The Insurance laws of the State of New York currently do not allow the
imposition of premium taxes on the amount applied to a settlement option.
Therefore, such deductions will not be made while the Owner is a resident of the
State of New York, unless subsequent changes in New York's insurance laws
provide otherwise. However, if the Owner becomes a non-resident of New York or
if New York changes its insurance laws to allow the imposition of premium taxes
on the amount applied to a settlement option, we will deduct the applicable
premium tax before applying the proceeds.

Supplementary Contract

Once proceeds become payable and an income option has been selected, we will
issue a supplementary contract to reflect the terms of the selected option. The
contract will name the Payee(s) and will describe the payment schedule.

S1254

Page 12

SECTION 10 - CONTINUED

B. FIXED INCOME OPTIONS

Commutation of Payments after the Annuity Commencement Date

For options 1, 2 and 3, if the present value is paid in a single sum, the
interest rate used for commutation is the interest rate that equated the amount
applied at annuitization to the present value of annuity payments.

Guaranteed Income Options

The fixed income option is determined by multiplying each $1,000 of policy
proceeds allocated to a fixed income option by the amounts shown on pages 16 and
17 for the option You select. Options 1 and 3 are based on a guaranteed interest
rate of 1.5%. Options 2 and 4 are based on a guaranteed interest rate of 1.5%
and the "Annuity 2000" (male, female, and unisex if required by law) mortality
table projected for improvement using projection scale G (50% of the female
scale G factors were used, while 100% of the male scale G factors were used).
The rates were projected dynamically using an assumed Annuity Commencement date
of 2005. The "Annuity 2000" mortality rates are adjusted based on improvements
in mortality since 2000 to more appropriately reflect increased longevity. This
is accomplished using a set of improvement factors referred to as projection
scale G.

Option 1 - Income for a Specified Period

We will make level payments only for the fixed period You choose. In the event
of the death of the person receiving payments prior to the end of the fixed
period elected, payments will be continued to that person's beneficiary or their
present value may be paid in a single sum. No funds will remain at the end.

Option 2 - Life Income - You may choose between:

1. No Period Certain - We will make level payments only during the Annuitant's
lifetime.
2. 10 Years Certain - We will make level payments for the longer of the
Annuitant's lifetime or ten years.
3. Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds - We will make level payments for the
longer of the Annuitant's lifetime or until the total dollar amount of
payments we made to You equals the amount applied to this option.

Option 2(1) is not available for Adjusted Age(s) greater than 85.

Option 3 - Income of a Specified Amount

Payments are made for any specified amount until the amount applied to this
option, with interest, is exhausted. This will be a series of level payments
followed by a smaller final payment. In the event of the death of the person
receiving payments prior to the time proceeds with interest are exhausted,
payments will be continued to that person's beneficiary or their present value
may be paid in a single sum.

Option 4- Joint and Survivor Annuity

Payments are made during the joint lifetime of the Payee and a joint Payee of
Your selection. Payments will be made as long as either person is living.

Option 4 is not available for Adjusted Age(s) greater than 85.

Current Income Options

The amounts shown in the tables on pages 16 and 17 are the guaranteed amounts.
Current amounts offered to individuals of the same class may be obtained from
us. Any rates not shown in the Tables contained in this annuity policy and which
are available will be provided by the Company upon request.

SB1254

Page 13

SECTION 10 - CONTINUED

C. VARIABLE INCOME OPTIONS

Variable Annuity Units

The policy proceeds You tell us to apply to a variable income option will be
used to purchase variable annuity units in Your chosen Subaccounts. The dollar
value of variable annuity units in Your chosen Subaccounts will increase or
decrease reflecting the investment experience of Your chosen Subaccounts. The
value of a variable annuity unit in a particular Subaccount on any business day
is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c), where:

(a) is the variable annuity unit value for that Subaccount on the immediately
preceding business day;
(b) is the net investment factor for that Subaccount for the Valuation Period;
and
(c) is the Assumed Investment Return adjustment factor for the Valuation
Period.

The Assumed Investment Return adjustment factor for the valuation period is the
product of discount factors of .99986634 per day to recognize the 5.0% effective
annual Assumed Investment Return.

The net investment factor used to calculate the value of a variable annuity unit
in each Subaccount for the Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b)
and subtracting (c) from the result, where:

(a) is the net result of:
(1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined
as of the end of the current valuation period; plus
(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain Distributions
made by the fund for shares held in that Subaccount if the ex-dividend
date occurs during the Valuation Period; plus or minus
(3) a per share credit or charge for any taxes reserved for, which we
determine to have resulted from the investment operations of the
Subaccount
(b) is the net asset value of a fund share held in that Subaccount determined
as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period.
(c) is a factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and
Administrative Charge applicable after the Annuity Commencement Date. This
factor is less than or equal to, on an annual basis, the percentage shown
on the Policy Data Page of the daily net asset value of a fund share held
in the Separate Account for that Subaccount.

Determination of the First Variable Payment

The amount of the first variable payment is determined by multiplying each
$1,000 of policy proceeds allocated to a variable income option by the amounts
shown on pages 18 and 19 for the variable option You select. The tables are
based on a 5% effective annual Assumed Investment Return and the "Annuity 2000"
(male, female, and unisex if required by law) mortality table projected for
improvement using projection scale G (50% of the female scale G factors were
used, while 100% of the male scale G factors were used). The rates were
projected dynamically using an assumed Annuity Commencement date of 2005. The
"Annuity 2000" mortality rates are adjusted based on improvements in mortality
since 2000 to more appropriately reflect increased longevity. This is
accomplished using a set of improvement factors referred to as projection scale
G.

Option 3-V - Life Income - You may choose between:

1. No Period Certain - Payments will be made during the lifetime of the
Annuitant.
2. 10 Years Certain - Payments will be made for the longer of the Annuitant's
lifetime or ten years. In the event of the death of the person receiving
payments prior to the end of the guarantee period for which the election
was made, payments will be continued to that person's beneficiary or their
present value may be paid in a single sum.

Option 3-V(1) is not available for Adjusted Age(s) greater than 85.

C937

Page 14

SECTION 10 - CONTINUED

Option 5-V - Joint and Survivor Annuity:

Payments are made as long as either the Annuitant or the joint Annuitant is
living.

Option 5-V is not available for Adjusted Age(s) greater than 85.

Determination of Subsequent Variable Payments

The amount of each variable annuity payment after the first will increase or
decrease according to the value of the variable annuity units which reflect the
investment experience of the selected Subaccounts. Each variable annuity payment
after the first will be equal to the number of variable annuity units in the
selected Subaccounts multiplied by the variable annuity unit value on the date
the payment is made. The number of variable annuity units in each selected
Subaccount is determined by dividing the first variable annuity payment
allocated to the Subaccount by the variable annuity unit value of that
Subaccount on the Annuity Commencement Date.

Once Annuity Payments begin, neither expenses actually incurred other than taxes
on the investment return, nor mortality actually experienced by the Company,
shall adversely affect the dollar amount of Variable Annuity Payments to any
Annuitant for whom such payments have commenced.

SECTION 11 - GENERAL PROVISIONS

THE ENTIRE CONTRACT

The entire contract consists of this policy, the Policy Data page, endorsements,
and riders, if any, and the application signed by You, a copy of which is
attached hereto. No insertion in or other alteration of any written application
can be made by any person other than You without Your written consent, except
that insertions may be made by Us for administrative purposes only in such
manner as to indicate clearly that the insertions are not to be ascribed to You.
All statements in the application made by or under the authority of the
applicant are representations and not warranties. Nothing is incorporated by
reference, unless a copy is endorsed upon or attached to the policy. Nothing in
the policy or any attached endorsements or riders thereto invalidates or impairs
any right granted to the Owner by New York law.

MODIFICATION OF POLICY

No change in this policy is valid unless made in writing by us and approved by
one of our officers. No Registered Representative has authority to change or
waive any provision of Your policy.

TAX QUALIFICATION

This policy is intended to qualify as an annuity contract for federal income tax
purposes. The provisions of this policy are to be interpreted to maintain such
qualification, notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary. To maintain
such tax qualification, we reserve the right to amend this policy to reflect any
clarifications that may be needed or are appropriate to maintain such tax
qualification or to conform this policy to any applicable changes in the tax
qualification requirements. We will send You a copy in the event of any such
amendment. If You refuse such an amendment it must be by giving us written
notice, and Your refusal may result in adverse tax consequences.

NON-PARTICIPATING

This policy will not share in our surplus earnings.

AGE OR SEX CORRECTIONS

If the age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated, the benefits will be
those, which the premiums paid, would have purchased for the correct age and
sex. If required by law to ignore differences in the sex of the Annuitant, the
annuity payments will be determined using the unisex factors in Section 10.

Any underpayment made by us will be paid with the next payment. Any overpayment
made by us will be deducted from future payments. Any underpayment or
overpayment, will include interest at 5% per year, from the date of the wrong
payment to the date of the adjustment.

INCONTESTABILITY

This policy shall be incontestable from the Policy Date.

EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL

We have the right to require satisfactory evidence that a person was alive if a
payment is based on that person being alive. No payment will be made until we
receive the evidence.

SETTLEMENT

Any payment by us under this policy is payable at our Home Office.

RIGHTS OF OWNER

The owner may, while the Annuitant is living:

1. Assign this policy.
2. Surrender the policy to us.
3. Amend or modify the policy with our written consent.
4. Receive annuity payments or name a Payee to receive the payments.
5. Exercise, receive and enjoy every other right and benefit contained in
the policy.

The use of these rights may be subject to the consent of any assignee or
irrevocable beneficiary; and of the spouse in a community or marital property
state.

Unless we have been notified of a community or marital property interest in this
policy, we will rely on our good faith belief that no such interest exists and
will assume no responsibility for inquiry.

SUCCESSOR OWNER

A successor owner will be the new owner as described in Section 9, C, II.

CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP

In the case of a non-tax-qualified annuity, You can change the owner of this
policy, from yourself to a new owner, in a notice You sign which gives us the
facts that we need. When this change takes effect, all rights of ownership in
this policy will pass to the new owner.

A change of owner will not be effective until it is received by Us. After it has
been so received, the change will take effect as of the date You signed the
notice. However, if the Annuitant dies before the notice has been so received,
it will not be effective as to those proceeds we have paid before the change was
received by Us.

We may require that the change be endorsed in the policy. Changing the owner
does not change the beneficiary or the Annuitant.

A change of ownership may result in adverse tax consequences.

ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE

The Annuity Commencement Date is the date annuity payments begin. In no event
can this date be later than the last day of the month following the month in
which the Annuitant attains age 90, or 10 years from the Policy Date, if later.
You may change the Annuity Commencement Date at any time before the Annuity
Commencement date by giving us 30 days' written notice. However, the revised
Annuity Commencement Date may not be earlier than the first day of the calendar
month coinciding with or next following the first Policy Anniversary.

SECTION 11 - CONTINUED

ASSIGNMENT

(a) In the case of a non tax-qualified annuity, this Policy may be assigned.
The assignment must be in writing and filed with us.

(b) We assume no responsibility for the validity of any assignment. Any claim
made under an assignment shall be subject to proof of interest and the
extent of the assignment.

(c) This policy may be applied for and issued to qualify as a tax-qualified
annuity under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. Ownership of
this policy is then restricted so that it will comply with provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code.

Assignment of this policy may result in adverse tax consequences.

BENEFICIARY

Death proceeds, when payable in accordance with Section 9, are payable to the
designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. Such beneficiary(ies) must be named and
may be changed without consent (unless irrevocably designated or required by
law) by notifying us in writing on a form acceptable to us. The change will take
effect upon the date You sign it, whether or not You are living when we receive
it. The notice must have been postmarked (or show other evidence of delivery
that is acceptable to us) on or before the date of death. Your most recent
change of beneficiary notice will replace any prior beneficiary designations. No
change will apply to any payment we made before the written notice was received.
If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, You may designate a new beneficiary.

You may direct that the beneficiary shall not have the right to withdraw, assign
or commute any sum payable under an option. In the absence of such election or
direction, the beneficiary may change the manner of payment or make an election
of any option.

If any primary or contingent beneficiary dies before the Annuitant, that
beneficiary's interest in this policy ends with that beneficiary's death. Only
those beneficiaries living at the time of the Annuitant's death will be eligible
to receive their share of the death proceeds. In the event no primary or
contingent beneficiaries have been named and all primary beneficiaries have died
before the death proceeds become payable, the owner(s) will become the
beneficiary(ies) unless elected otherwise in accordance with Section 9. If both
primary and contingent beneficiaries have been named, payment will be made to
the named primary beneficiaries living at the time the death proceeds become
payable. If there is more than one beneficiary and You failed to specify their
interest, they will share equally. Payment will be made to the named contingent
beneficiary(ies) only, if all primary beneficiaries have died before the death
proceeds become payable. If any primary beneficiary is alive at the time the
death proceeds become payable, but dies before receiving their payment, their
share will be paid to their estate.

PROTECTION OF PROCEEDS

Unless You so direct by filing written notice with us, no beneficiary may assign
any payments under this policy before the same are due. To the extent permitted
by law, no payments under this policy will be subject to the claims of creditors
of any beneficiary.

DEFERMENT

We will pay any partial Withdrawals or Surrender proceeds from the Separate
Account within 7 days after we receive all requirements that we need. However,
it may happen that the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading (other than
the usual weekend or holiday closings), or the Securities and Exchange
Commission restricts trading or determines that an emergency exists. If so, it
may not be practical for us to determine the investment experience of the
Separate Account. In that case, we may defer transfers among the Subaccounts and
to the Fixed Account, and determination or payment of partial Withdrawals or
Surrender proceeds.

When permitted by law, we may defer paying any partial Withdrawals or Surrender
proceeds from the Fixed Account for up to 6 months from the date we receive Your
request. If the owner dies after the request is received, but before the request
is processed, the request will be processed before the death proceeds are
determined. The interest rate will be the effective annual interest rate
currently being credited to the Fixed Account.

REPORTS TO OWNER

We will give You an annual report at least once each Policy Year. This report
will show the number and value of the accumulation units held in each of the
Subaccounts as well as the value of the Fixed Account. It will also give You the
Death Benefit and method of determining the Cash Value, and any other facts
required by law or regulation.
