--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT VALUE AND EXPENSE PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT VALUE
On any Valuation Date, the Contract Value is the sum of the following amounts
allocated to a Participant Account: (1) the Separate Account Contract Value;
and (2) the General Account Contract Value. At any time after the first
Contract Year and before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Company reserves
the right to pay to the Participant the Contract Value as a lump sum if it is
below $2,000.

first Purchase Payment allocated under the Participant Account to the General
Account:

the General Account;
2. any Transfers from the Separate Account Contract Value to the General
Account; and

GV6023E (1-98) -10- BP 6023F1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT VALUE AND EXPENSE PROVISIONS (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL ACCOUNT INTEREST CREDITING
The Company shall credit interest on General Account Contract Value at an
annual rate at least equal to the Minimum Guaranteed Rate shown on page 3.
Also, the Company may in its sole judgment credit Current Interest at a rate
in excess of the Minimum Guaranteed Rate.
The Company may credit Current Interest on Contract Value that was allocated
or Transferred to the General Account during one period at a different rate
than amounts allocated or Transferred to the General Account in another
period. Therefore, at any time, portions of General Account Contract Value
may be earning Current Interest at different rates based upon the period
during which such portions were allocated or Transferred to the General
Account.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT CONTRACT VALUE
On any Valuation Date, the Separate Account Contract Value is the sum of the
then current value of the Accumulation Units allocated to each Series for the
Participant Account.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The initial Accumulation Unit Value for each Series was set at $10. The
Accumulation Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to (1)
multiplied by (2) where:
1. is the Accumulation Unit Value determined on the immediately preceding
Valuation Date; and
2. is the Net Investment Factor on the Valuation Date with respect to which
the Accumulation Unit Value is being determined.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor for any Series as of the end of any Valuation
Period is determined by dividing (1) by (2) and subtracting (3) from the
result, where;
1. is equal to:
a. the net asset value per share of the mutual fund held in the Series
found as of the end of the current Valuation Period; plus
b. the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
paid by the Series' underlying mutual fund that is not included in
the net asset value per share; plus or minus
c. a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which the
Company deems to have resulted from the operation of the Separate
Account or the Subaccounts; operations of the Company with respect to
the Contract; or the payment of the premiums or acquisition costs
under the Contract.
2. is the net asset value per share of the Series' underlying mutual fund as
of the end of the prior Valuation Period.
3. is the daily factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
which is deducted from the Separate Account.
Underlying mutual funds may declare dividends on a daily basis and pay such
dividends once a month. The Net Investment Factor allows for the monthly
reinvestment of these daily dividends. As described above, the gains and
losses from each Series are credited to or charged against the Series without
regard to the gains or losses in the Company or other Series.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT VALUE AND EXPENSE PROVISIONS (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DETERMINING ACCUMULATION UNITS
The number of Accumulation Units allocated to or deducted from a Series under
the Participant Account is found by dividing: (1) the amount allocated to or
deducted from the Series; by (2) the Accumulation Unit Value for the Series
as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the amount is allocated to
or deducted from Contract Value. The number of Accumulation Units allocated
to a Series under the Contract will not change as a result of investment
experience. Events that change the number of Accumulation units are:
1. Purchase Payments that are applied to the Series;
2. Contract Value that is Transferred into or out of the Series;
3. Withdrawals and any applicable Withdrawal Charges that are deducted from
the Series;
4. Premium Taxes that are deducted from the Series; and
5. Annual Administrative Fees that are deducted from the Series.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
The Company will deduct the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge shown on page
3. This charge will be computed and deducted from each Series on each
Valuation Date. This charge is factored into the Accumulation Unit and
Annuity Unit Value on each Valuation Date.
PREMIUM TAX EXPENSE
The Company reserves the right to deduct Premium Tax when due or any time
thereafter. Any applicable Premium Taxes will be deducted as described on
page 3.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
The Company will deduct from Contract Value for each Participant Account the
Annual Administrative Fee in the amount and manner shown on page 3. No Annual
Administrative Fee is deducted on or after the Annuity Commencement Date if
one of Annuity Options 1 through 4, 7 or 8 is chosen. The Annual
Administrative Fee and other charges may be waived or reduced uniformly on
all Contracts issued under certain plans or arrangements which are expected
to result in administrative cost savings.
MUTUAL FUND EXPENSES
Each Series invests in share of a mutual fund. The net asset value per share
of each underlying fund reflects the deduction of any investment advisory and
administration fees and other expenses of the fund. These fees and expenses
are not deducted from the assets of a Series, but are paid by the underlying
funds. The Participant indirectly bears a pro rata share of such fees and
expenses. An underlying fund's fees and expenses are not specified or fixed
under the terms of the Contract.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITHDRAWALS
A full or partial Withdrawal of Contract Value is allowed at any time while
the Participant is living. This provision is subject to any federal or state
Withdrawal restrictions.
Upon the Participant's request for a full Withdrawal, the Company will pay
the Withdrawal Value in a lump sum, and the Participant Account will
terminate.
All Withdrawals must meet the following conditions.
1. The request for Withdrawal must be Received by the Company in writing or
under other methods allowed by the Company, if any.
2. The Participant must apply: (a) while this Contract is in force; and (b)

Withdrawal from each Account. If no allocation is specified, the partial
Withdrawal will be deducted from the Accounts in the order described on page
3, "Method for Deductions."

The Withdrawal Value at any time will be the Contract Value less: (1) any
Premium Taxes due or paid by the Company; (2) any Annual Administrative Fee;
and (3) any Withdrawal Charges.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGES
If part or all of the Contract Value is Withdrawn, Withdrawal Charges may be
applied at the time of Withdrawal. The Withdrawal Charge is applied to the
lesser of: (1) the amount withdrawn; or (2) the amount of Purchase Payments.
The amount of the charge is based on the Contract Year in which the
Withdrawal is made. See the Withdrawal Charges shown on page 3. For the
purpose of determining the Withdrawal Charges, Purchase Payments are
withdrawn before Earnings on a first in first out basis. The Withdrawal
Charge will not be assessed against:
1. any Free Withdrawal amounts;
2. any Free Systematic Withdrawal amounts;
3. any amounts remaining after all Purchase Payments are withdrawn;
4. payments under Annuity Options 1 through 4 and 8;
5. payments under Annuity Options 5 through 7 provided that Annuity Payments
are made for at least 7 years.
The Withdrawal Charge will be assessed against Contract Value allocated to
the Series and the General Account in the same proportion as the Withdrawal
is allocated.
FREE WITHDRAWALS
A Free Withdrawal is a Withdrawal amount which is not subject to Withdrawal
Charges. One Free Withdrawal may be made in each Contract Year after the
first Contract Year. The Maximum Free Withdrawal amount is equal to the Free
Withdrawal Percentage shown on page 3, times the Contract Value on the
Valuation Date the Withdrawal request is Received by the Company. The Free
Withdrawal amount is applied only to the first Withdrawal in a Contract Year.
A Free Withdrawal is not available in any Contract Year that Free Systematic
Withdrawals have been made. Unused Free Withdrawal amounts are not carried
from one Contract Year to the next.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS
Systematic Withdrawals are automatic periodic Withdrawals from the Contract
in substantially equal amounts made while the Participant is living prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date.
Systematic Withdrawals are available after the first Contract Year.
Systematic Withdrawals are available, however, during the first Contract Year
if Contract Value is $40,000 or more on the date the Systematic Withdrawal
request is Received by the Company.

WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS (Continued)
In order to start Systematic Withdrawals, the Owner must make the request in
writing. Systematic Withdrawals are subject to any applicable Withdrawal
Charge, except as discussed under "Free Systematic Withdrawals," below. The
Minimum Systematic Withdrawal amount is shown on page 3. The Participant must
choose the type of payment and its frequency. The Systematic Withdrawal
request must state the allocations for deducting the Withdrawals from each
Account. If no allocation is specified, the Withdrawals will be deducted from
the Accounts in the order described on page 3, "Method for Deductions." The
payment type may be: (1) a percentage of Contract Value; (2) a specified
dollar amount; (3) over a fixed period of time; (4) all earnings in the
Contract; or (5) based upon the life expectancy of the Owner or the Owner and
Beneficiary. The payment frequency may be: (1) monthly; (2) quarterly; (3)
semiannually; or (4) annually. Systematic Withdrawals may be stopped or
changed by the Owner upon proper written request Received by the Company at
least 30 days in advance of the requested date of termination or change. The
Company reserves the right to stop, modify or suspend Systematic Withdrawals
at any time.
FREE SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS
Free Systematic Withdrawals are not subject to a Withdrawal Charge. The
amount of Free Systematic Withdrawals available in a Contract Year is as
follows: an amount equal to the Free Withdrawal Percentage shown on page 3,
times the Contract Value on the Valuation Date the First Systematic
Withdrawal Request in such Contract Year is Received by the Company.
Systematic Withdrawals are not available in any Contract Year in which a Free
Withdrawal has been made. Systematic Withdrawals that exceed the Free
Systematic Withdrawal amount will incur a Withdrawal Charge.
DATE OF REQUEST
The Company will effect a Withdrawal of Separate Account Contract Value on
the basis of Accumulation Unit Value determined as of the end of the
Valuation Period in which all the required information is Received by the
Company. The Company will effect a Systematic Withdrawal of Separate Account
Contract Value on the basis of Accumulation Unit Value determined as of the
end of the Valuation Period during which such Withdrawal is scheduled.
PAYMENT OF WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS
The Company reserves the right to suspend a Transfer or delay payment of a
Withdrawal from the Separate Account for any period:
1. when the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or
2. when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; or
3. when an emergency exists as a result of which: (a) disposal of securities
held in the Separate Account is not reasonably practicable; or (b) it is
not reasonably practicable to fairly value the net assets of the Separate
Account; or
4. during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission, by
order, so permits to protect owners of securities.
Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission will govern
as to whether the conditions set forth above exist.
The Company further reserves the right to delay payment of a Withdrawal from
the General Account for up to six months as required by most states. The
Company will notify you if there will be a delay.

DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT
If any Participant dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, a Death
Benefit will be paid to the Designated Beneficiary when due Proof of Death

ANNUITY PAYMENT PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
The Participant may choose the Annuity Commencement Date at the time of
application. The Annuity Commencement Date may not be prior to the third
Contract Anniversary. If no Annuity Commencement Date is chosen, the Company
will use the later of: (1) the Participant's sixty-fifth birthday; or (2) the
tenth Contract Anniversary, but in no event later than the Participant's 95th
birthday. The Annuity Commencement Date must be prior to the Participant's
95th birthday.
The Annuity Commencement Date is the date the first payment will be made to
the Participant under any of the Annuity Options.
CHANGE OF ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
The Participant may change the Annuity Commencement Date. A request for the
change must be made in writing. The written request must be Received by the
Company at least 30 days prior to the new Annuity Commencement Date as well
as 30 days prior to the previous Annuity Commencement Date.
ANNUITY START AMOUNT
The Annuity Start Amount is applied to one of the Annuity Options listed on
page 19. The Annuity Start Amount is: (1) the Contract Value on the Annuity
Commencement Date; less (2) any Premium Taxes due or paid by the Company; and
less (3) if one of the Annuity Options 1 through 4, 7 or 8 is chosen, a pro
rata Administrative Fee. Unless otherwise directed by the Participant,
Annuity Start Amount derived from General Account Contract Value will be
applied to purchase a Fixed Annuity Option; that derived from Separate
Account Contract Value will be applied to purchase a Variable Annuity Option.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGES
Withdrawal Charges are not applied to: (1) Annuity payments made under
Annuity Options 1 through 4 and 8; or (2) those made under annuity Options 5
through 7 that provide for payments over a period of at least 7 years.
Withdrawal Charges are applied to annuity payments under Annuity Options 5
through 7 that provide for payments over a period of less than 7 years. See
"Withdrawal Provisions" on pages 12-14.
ANNUITY TABLES
The Annuity Payments under Annuity Options 1 through 4 and 8 are based upon
the 1983 Table "A" mortality table. The amount of each Annuity Payment for
Annuity Options 1 through 4, 7 and 8 will depend on the Participant's sex and
age on the Annuity Commencement Date.
For Fixed Annuity Payments, Tables A through C below show the guaranteed
minimum amount for each monthly Annuity Payment per $1,000 of Annuity Start
Amount for Annuity Options 1 through 4, 7 and 8. Tables A and B are based
upon the 1983 Table "A" mortality table and an interest rate of 3% per year.
For Variable Annuity Payments, the first Annuity Payment for Annuity Options
1 through 4 and 8 is determined by reference to the 1983 Table "A" mortality
table and an assumed interest rate of 3.5% per year and, for Option 7, by
reference to Table C below.
GV6023H (1-98) -16- BP 6023I1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY PAYMENT PROVISIONS (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY TABLES (Continued)
Tables A and B assume 1900 as the year of birth of the Participant. To use
Tables A and B for a Participant born after 1900, the actual age is reduced
by 0.1 (one-tenth) of a year for each year the year of birth exceeds 1900.
For a Participant with a birth year prior to 1900, the actual age is
increased in a like manner. The actual age (in completed months) reduced or
increased becomes the "adjusted age of the Participant." The guaranteed
payout rate is then found by interpolating the Participant's adjusted age
between the ages shown in the Tables. On request the Company will furnish the
amount of monthly Annuity Payment per $1,000 applied for any age.
For Annuity Options 5 through 7, annuity rates based on age and sex are not
used to calculate Annuity Payments. Annuity Payments for options 5 and 6 are
computed without reference to the Annuity Tables.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
The Annuity Option is shown on page 3 of each certificate. The Participant
may choose any form of Annuity Option that is allowed by the Company. The
Participant may choose an Annuity Option by written request. This request
must be Received by the Company at least 30 days prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date. Several Annuity Options are listed on page 19. No Annuity
Option can be selected that requires the Company to make periodic payments of
less than $50. If no Annuity Option is chosen prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date, the Company will use Life with 10-Year Fixed Period
Option. Each Annuity Option allows for making Annuity Payments annually,
semiannually, quarterly or monthly.
CHANGE OF ANNUITY OPTION
Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Participant may change the
Annuity Option chosen. The Participant must request the change in writing.
This request must be Received by the Company at least 30 days prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date.
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
With respect to Fixed Annuity Payments, the amounts shown on the Tables are
the guaranteed minimum for each Annuity Payment for Annuity Options 1 through
4, 7 and 8.
VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
With respect to Variable Annuity Payments, the guaranteed minimum first
Annuity Payment for Annuity Options 1 through 4, 7 and 8 are determined as
discussed above. The amount of each Annuity Payment after the first for these
options is computed by means of Annuity Units.
ANNUITY UNITS
The number of Annuity Units is found by dividing the first Annuity Payment by
the Annuity Unit Value for the selected Series on the Annuity Commencement
Date. The number of Annuity Units for the Series then remains constant,
unless a Transfer of Annuity Units is made. After the first Annuity Payment,
the dollar amount of each subsequent Annuity Payment is equal to the number
of Annuity Units times the Annuity Unit Value for the Series on the due date
of the Annuity Payment.
-17- BP 6023I1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY PAYMENT PROVISIONS (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY UNITS (Continued)
The Annuity Unit Value for each Series was first set at $1.00. The Annuity
Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to (a) times (b) times
(c), where:
(a) is the Annuity Unit Value on the immediately preceding Valuation Date;
(b) is the Net Investment Factor for the day;
(c) is a factor used to adjust for an assumed interest rate of 3.5% per year
used to determine the Annuity Payment amounts. The assumed interest rate
is reflected in the Annuity Tables.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor for any Series as of the end of any Valuation
Period is determined by dividing (1) by (2) and subtracting (3) from the
result, where:
1. is equal to:
a. the net asset value per share of the mutual fund held in the Series,
found as of the end of the current Valuation Period; plus
b. the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
paid by the Series' underlying mutual fund that is not included in
the net asset value per share; plus or minus
c. a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which the
Company deems to have resulted from the operation of the Separate
Account or Series; the operations of the Company with respect to the
Contract; or the payment of premium or acquisition costs under the
Contract.
2. is the net asset value per share of the Series' underlying mutual fund as
found as of the end of the prior Valuation Period.
3. is a factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge which is
deducted from the Separate Account.
Underlying mutual funds may declare dividends on a daily basis and pay such
dividends once a month. The Net Investment Factor allows for the monthly
reinvestment of these daily dividends. As described above, the gains and
losses from each Series are credited or charged against the Series without
regard to the gains or losses in the Company or other Series.
ALTERNATE ANNUITY OPTION RATES
The Company may, at the time of election of an Annuity Option, offer more
favorable rates in lieu of the guaranteed rates shown in the Annuity Tables.

the payments during the fixed period, the remaining payments will be made to
the Designated Beneficiary. Table A shows some of the guaranteed rates for
this option.
OPTION 3
LIFE WITH INSTALLMENT OR UNIT REFUND OPTION: This option provides payments
for the life of the Participant, with a period certain determined by dividing
the Annuity Start Amount by the amount of the first payment. A fixed number

payments will vary as a result of the investment performance of the Series
chosen. If Participant dies before receiving the fixed number of payments,
any remaining payments will be made to the Designated Beneficiary.
OPTION 6
FIXED PAYMENT OPTION: This option provides a fixed payment amount. This
amount is paid until the amount applied, including daily interest
adjustments, is paid. If the Contract Value is held in the General Account,
