request, dated and signed by You, must be sent to and received by Our
Administrative Office. We may require this contract for endorsement. The
transfer will take effect as of the date the request was received and recorded

payment made by Us before the request is received and recorded at Our
Administrative Office.

any assignment. If You assign this contract, Your rights and those of any

BENEFICIARY - The Beneficiary will receive the death benefit. The Beneficiary is
named in the Contract Schedule.
DEATH OF BENEFICIARY - If no named beneficiary is living at the time a death
benefit becomes payable we will pay the death benefit to Your estate.
CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY - To change a beneficiary, a written request for a change
of beneficiary, dated and signed by You, must be received at Our Administrative
Office. If the request is received at Our Administrative Office after the death
of the Owner, it will be effective only if no payment has been made. After the
change is recorded, it will take effect as of the date the request was signed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREMIUM PROVISIONS
PREMIUM - The Initial Premium is due on or before the Effective Date.
Thereafter, Premium payments may be made at any time prior to the Annuity Date,
in an amount equal to or greater than the Minimum Subsequent Premium amount,
shown on the Contract Schedule page.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS - Premiums may be allocated to one or more of the
Subaccounts of the Variable Account or to the Guaranteed Account. Whole
percentages must be used. The allocation of the Initial Premium is shown on the
Contract Schedule. You may change the allocation by written request at any time.
Any subsequent Premium received will be allocated in accordance with the most
recently received allocation instructions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VARIABLE ACCOUNT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION - The name of the Variable Account is shown in the Contract
Schedule. The assets of the Variable Account and each Subaccount are Our
property but are not chargeable with the liabilities arising out of any other
business We may conduct, except to the extent that Variable Account assets
exceed Variable Account liabilities arising under the contracts supported by the
Variable Account. The Variable Account and each Subaccount is separate from the
Our General Account and any other separate account or Subaccount We may have.
INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS TO THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT - The Variable Account consists
of Subaccounts and each Subaccount may invest its assets in a separate class of
shares of a designated investment company or companies.
We have the right to change, add or delete designated investment companies. We
have the right to add or remove Subaccounts. We also have the right to combine
any two or more Subaccounts.
VALUATION OF ASSETS - Assets within each Subaccount will be valued at their net
asset value on each Valuation Date.
CONTRACT VALUE - Premiums are allocated among the various Subaccounts within the
Variable Account. For each Subaccount, the Premiums are converted into
Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units credited to the contract is
determined by dividing the Premiums allocated to the Subaccount by the value of
the Accumulation Unit for the Subaccount. Surrenders will result in the
cancellation of Accumulation Units. The value of the contract is the sum of the
values for the contract within each Subaccount and the Guaranteed Account. The
value of each Subaccount is determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation
Units attributable to the Subaccount by the Accumulation Unit value for the
Subaccount, independent of the value of any other Subaccount.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES - The value of an Accumulation Unit will vary in
accordance with the investment experience of the underlying portfolio in which
the Subaccount invests. The value of Accumulation Units is expected to increase
or decrease from Valuation Period to Valuation Period. The value of Accumulation
Units in each Subaccount will change daily to reflect the investment experience
of the corresponding underlying portfolio as well as the daily deduction of the
Contract Charges. The number of Accumulation Units credited to a Contract will
not change as a result of any fluctuations in the value of an Accumulation Unit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUARANTEED ACCOUNT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION - The Guaranteed Account is a part of Our General Account.
The amount You have in the Guaranteed Account at any time is a result of
Premiums You have allocated to it or any part of Your Contract Value you have
transferred to it.
GUARANTEE PERIODS - The portion of Your Contract Value within the Guaranteed
Account is credited with interest at rates guaranteed by Us for the Guarantee
Period(s) selected. Interest is credited on a daily basis at the then applicable
effective guaranteed interest rate for the applicable Guarantee Period. You may
select from one or more Guarantee Periods which we offer at any particular time.
We reserve the right at any time to add or delete Guarantee Periods. If You have
allocated any part of Your Initial Premium to a
Guarantee Period, the amount allocated, as well as the duration of the Guarantee
Period is shown on the Contract Schedule.
The guaranteed interest rate applicable to an allocation of Premium or transfer
of Contract Value to a Guarantee Period is the rate in effect for that Guarantee
Period at the time of the allocation or transfer. If You have allocated or
transferred amounts at different times to the Guaranteed Account, each
allocation or transfer may have a unique effective guaranteed interest rate
associated with that amount. We guarantee that the effective annual rate of
interest for the Guaranteed Account, including any of the Guaranteed Periods,
will not be less than 3%.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS
During the Accumulation Period, or after the Annuity Date, provided a variable
Annuity Option was selected, You may transfer all or part of Your interest, in a
Subaccount, or allocated to a Guarantee Period of the Guaranteed Account, to
another Subaccount or Guarantee Period of the Guaranteed Account. However, after
the Annuity Date no transfers may be made between a Subaccount and the
Guaranteed Account. The Transfer Fee is shown on the Contract Schedule.
Transfers from one Guarantee Period to another may also be subject to a Market
Value Adjustment.
All transfers are subject to the following:
1. The deduction of any Transfer Fee that may be imposed is shown in the
Contract Schedule. The Transfer Fee will be deducted from the amount which
is transferred. However, no Transfer Fee will be imposed on transfers
resulting from the expiration of a Guarantee Period.
2. If We have not received transfer instructions prior to the end of a
Guarantee Period in which You have Contract Value, We will automatically
transfer it to a new Guarantee Period of the same duration and under the
same restrictions as if You had requested such transfer. However, if a new
Guarantee Period of the same duration is not available, then that portion
of Your Contract Value will be transferred to the Guarantee Period next
shortest in duration.
3. The minimum amount which may be transferred is the lesser of (A) $1,000 or
(B) Your entire interest in the Subaccount or in the amount allocated to
the Guarantee Period of the Guaranteed Account.
4. No partial transfer will be made if, as a result of such transfer, Your
remaining Contract Value in the Subaccount or in the amount allocated to
the Guarantee Period of the Guaranteed Account would be less than $1,000.
5. Transfers will be effected during the Valuation Period next following
receipt by Us of a written transfer request containing all required
information. However, no transfer may be made effective within seven
calendar days of the date on which any annuity payment is due.
6. Any transfer request must clearly specify:
a. the amount which is to be transferred; and
b. the Subaccounts or Guarantee Periods of the Guaranteed Account which
are to be affected.
7. After the Annuity Date, transfers may not take place between a fixed
Annuity Option and a variable Annuity Option.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
A surrender or transfer ("redemption") of any portion of the Contract Value
allocated to the Guaranteed Account may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment
if the redemption occurs one year or more prior to the expiration of the
applicable Guarantee Period.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR - The Market Value Adjustment is calculated by
multiplying the amount to be redeemed from a Guarantee Period by the Market
Value Adjustment Factor determined from the following formula:
.75 x (A-B) x (N/12) = Market Value Adjustment Factor, where:
A = the guaranteed interest rate applicable to the portion of the Contract Value
to be redeemed.
B = the guaranteed rate of interest currently
available for a Guarantee Period equal in duration to the Guarantee
Period from which the Contract Value is being redeemed. If no such
Guarantee Period is then currently available, "B" will be calculated by
straight line interpolation between the guaranteed interest rates then
available nearest in duration to the time
remaining in the Guarantee Period from which the redemption is to be
made, unless either a longer or a shorter Guarantee Period is
unavailable. In such event, "B" will be equal to the guaranteed rate of
interest currently available for a Guarantee Period closest in duration
to the Guarantee Period from which the Contract Value is being redeemed.
N = the number of complete and partial months remaining to the end of the
applicable Guarantee Period.
In situations where "A" is greater than "B", the Market Value Adjustment will be
added to the amount redeemed. Alternatively, if "B" is greater than "A", the
Market Value Adjustment will be subtracted from the amount redeemed.
MINIMUM SURRENDER VALUE - The minimum surrender value for amounts allocated to a
Guarantee Period of the Guaranteed Account is the amount allocated to that
Guarantee Period (less surrenders) with interest compounded annually at the rate
of 3%, reduced by any applicable Deferred Sales Charge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT CHARGES
All charges and fees shown on the Contract Schedule are the maximum amounts
which We may charge. We may, however, charge less than the maximum.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE - We deduct a Mortality And Expense Risk
Charge equal, on an annual basis, to the amount shown on the Contract Schedule.
We guarantee that the dollar amount of each annuity payment after the first will
not be affected by variations in mortality or expense experience.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE - We deduct an Administrative Expense Charge
equal, on an annual basis, to the amount shown on the Contract Schedule. The
Administrative Expense Charge compensates Us for some of the costs associated
with the administration of this contract and the Variable Account.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE - We deduct an annual Contract Maintenance Charge
shown on the Contract Schedule. The Contract Maintenance Charge will be deducted
from the Contract Value on each Contract Anniversary while this contract is in
force. Prior to the Annuity Date, the Contract Maintenance Charge will be
deducted from the Contract Value by canceling Accumulation Units. The number of
Accumulation Units to be canceled from each applicable Subaccount will be in the
ratio that the value of each Subaccount bears to the total Contract Value.
If this contract is surrendered for its full Surrender Value on other than a
Contract Anniversary, the full Contract Maintenance Charge due on the next
Contract Anniversary will be deducted at the time of surrender.
On and after the Annuity Date, the Contract Maintenance Charge will be pro-rated
and collected on a monthly basis and this will result in a reduction of the
monthly annuity payments.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
CHANGE IN ANNUITY DATE - You may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Us, at any time prior to the Annuity Date, change the Annuity Date
shown on the Contract Schedule. The Annuity Date must always be the first day of
a calendar month.
Unless We approve otherwise, the new Annuity Date must be at least one year
after the effective Date. The latest Annuity Date is the first day of the first
calendar month following the Annuitant's 90th birthday or such earlier date as
may be set by applicable law.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY OPTIONS
SELECTION OF ANNUITY OPTION - If the Annuitant is alive on the Annuity Date, We
will apply the Contract Value to provide an income on the basis of a life income
with 10 years guaranteed, unless another annuity option has been selected. You
may however, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Us, at any
time prior to the Annuity Date, select and/or change the Annuity Option. The
Annuity Option you select may be on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination
thereof. We may, at the time of election of an Annuity Option, offer more
favorable rates in lieu of those here guaranteed. We may also make available
other options.
OPTION 1 - LIFE INCOME. Monthly annuity payments are paid during the life of an
Annuitant ceasing with the last Annuity Payment due prior to the Annuitant's
death.
OPTION 2 - LIFE INCOME WITH 10 YEAR GUARANTEE. Monthly annuity payments are paid
during the life of an Annuitant, but at least for a 10 year minimum period.
OPTION 3 - JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY. Monthly annuity payments are paid
during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated second person and
are paid thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the survivor ceasing with
the last annuity payment due prior to the survivor's death.
FIXED OPTIONS
The amount of each fixed annuity payment is determined by multiplying the
available Contract Value (after the deduction of any premium taxes not
previously deducted) by the factor in the Fixed Option Table for the option
chosen, using the age and sex of the Annuitant and Joint Annuitant, if any,
divided by 1,000. The tables are determined from the 1983 Individual Annuity
Mortality Table with interest at the rate of 3% per annum. If, when annuity
payments are elected, We are using tables of annuity rates for these contracts
which result in larger annuity payments, We will use those tables instead.
VARIABLE OPTIONS
The amount of the first variable annuity payment depends on the Annuity Option
elected and the age and sex of the Annuitant. This contract contains a Variable
Options Table indicating the dollar amount of the first monthly payment under
each optional annuity form for each $1,000 of value applied. The tables are
determined from the 1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Table with interest at the
rate of 5% per annum. If, when annuity payments are elected, We are using tables
of annuity rates for these contracts which result in larger annuity payments, We
will use those tables instead.
The 5% interest rate assumed in the annuity tables would produce level annuity
payments if the net investment rate remained constant at 5% per year. Subsequent
payments will be less than, equal to, or greater than the first payment
depending upon whether the actual net investment rate is less than, equal to, or
greater than 5%.
The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment is determined by
applying the available value (after deduction of any premium taxes not
previously deducted) to the table using the age and sex of the Annuitant and any
joint Annuitant. The number of Annuity Units is then determined by dividing this
dollar amount by the then current Annuity Unit value. Thereafter, the number of
Annuity Units remains unchanged during the period of annuity payments. This
determination is made separately for each Subaccount of the Variable Account.
The number of Annuity Units is determined for each Subaccount and is based upon
the available value in each Subaccount as of the date annuity payments are to
begin. The dollar amount determined for each Subaccount will then be aggregated
for purposes of making payments. The dollar amount of the second and later
variable annuity payments is equal to the number of Annuity Units determined for
each Subaccount times the Annuity Unit value for that Subaccount as of the due
date of the payment. This amount may increase or decrease from month to month.
The value of an Annuity Unit for a Subaccount is determined as shown below, by
subtracting item 2. from item 1. and dividing the result by item 3. and
multiplying the result by a factor to neutralize the assumed net investment
rate, discussed above, of 5% per annum (which is built into the annuity rate
tables below and which is not applicable because the actual net investment rate
is credited instead) where:
1. is the net result of:
a) the assets of the Subaccount attributable to the Annuity Units; plus or minus
b) the cumulative charge or credit for taxes reserved which is determined
by Us to have resulted from the operation of the Subaccount;
2. is the cumulative unpaid charge for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
and for the Administrative Expense Charge, which are shown in the Contract
Schedule; and
3. is the number of Annuity Units outstanding at the end of the Valuation
Period.
The value of an Annuity Unit may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to
Valuation Period.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT
DEATH OF THE OWNER - In the event of Your death prior to the Annuity Date, a
death benefit is payable to the Beneficiary. The value of the death benefit will
be determined as of the date We receive proof of death in a form acceptable to
Us. If there has been a change of Owner, the death benefit will be the Contract
Value. Otherwise, We will pay the death benefit equal to the greatest of:
1. the total of all Premiums paid, less surrenders; or
2. the Contract Value; or
3. the greatest Contract Value at any seventh Contract Anniversary reduced
proportionally by any surrenders subsequent to that Contract Anniversary in
the same proportion that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of a
surrender, plus any Premium paid subsequent to that Contract Anniversary.
The Beneficiary may elect the death benefit to be paid as follows:
1. payment of the entire death benefit within 5 years of the date of the
Owner's death; or
2. payment over the lifetime of the designated Beneficiary with distribution
beginning within 1 year of the date of death of the Owner (see Annuity
Options section of this contract); or
3. if the designated Beneficiary is Your spouse, he/she can continue the
contract in his/her own name.
If no payment option is elected within 60 days of Our receipt of proof of the
Owner's death, a single sum settlement will be made at the end of the sixty (60)
day period following such receipt. Upon payment of the death benefit, this
contract will end.
If the Owner is a person other than the Annuitant, and if the Owner's death
occurs on or after the Annuity Date, no death benefit will be payable under this
contract. Any guaranteed payments remaining unpaid will continue to be paid to
the Annuitant pursuant to the Annuity Option in force at the date of the Owner's
death. If the Owner is not an individual, the Annuitant shall be treated as the
Owner and any change of such first named Annuitant, will be treated as if the
Owner died.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH BENEFIT - If an Accidental Death Benefit Charge is included on
the Contract Schedule, an Accidental Death Benefit may be payable which is equal
to the lesser of the Contract Value as of the date the death benefit is
determined or $250,000. The Accidental Death Benefit is payable if the death of
the primary Owner (i.e. the first owner listed on the contract schedule) occurs
prior to the Contract Anniversary next following his 75th birthday and is the
result of an Injury incurred while he was the primary Owner. The death must also
occur before the Annuity Date and within 365 days of the date of the accident
which caused the Injury.
The Accidental Death Benefit will not be paid for any death caused by or
resulting (in whole or in part) from the following:
1. suicide or attempted suicide while xxxx or insane; intentionally
self-inflicted injuries;
2. sickness, disease or bacterial infection of any kind, except pyogenic
infections which occur as a result of an injury or bacterial infections
which result from the accidental ingestion of contaminated substances;
3. hernia;
4. injury sustained as a consequence of riding in, including boarding or
alighting from, any vehicle or device used for aerial navigation except if
the primary Owner is a passenger on any aircraft licensed for the
transportation of passengers; 5. declared or undeclared war or any act
thereof; or 6. service in the military, naval or air service of any
country.
DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT - If the Annuitant is a person other than the Owner, and
if the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date, a new Annuitant may be named by
the Owner. If no new Annuitant is named within sixty (60) days of Our receipt of
proof of death, the Owner will be the new Annuitant. If the Annuitant dies after
the Annuity Date, the remaining payments, if any, will be as specified in the
Annuity Option elected. We will require proof of the Annuitant's death. Death
benefits, if any, will be paid to the designated Beneficiary at least as rapidly
as under the method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SURRENDER PROVISIONS
SURRENDER - While this contract is in force and before the Annuity Date, We
will, upon written request, allow the surrender of all or a portion of this
contract for its Surrender Value. Surrenders will result in the cancellation of
Accumulation Units from each applicable Subaccount and the Guaranteed Account in
the ratio that the value of each Subaccount bears to the total Contract Value.
You must specify in writing in advance which units are to be canceled if other
than the above mentioned method of cancellation is desired. We will pay the
amount of any surrender within seven (7) days of receipt of a request unless the
"Delay of Payments" provision is in effect.
The Surrender Value will be the Contract Value, subject to any Market Value
Adjustment, as of the date of Our receipt of Your written surrender request,
reduced by the sum of:
1. any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted; plus
2. any applicable Contract Maintenance Charge; plus
3. any applicable Surrender Charge.
CALCULATION OF SURRENDER CHARGE - If all or a portion of the Surrender Value is
surrendered, a Surrender Charge will be calculated at the time of each surrender
and will be deducted from the Contract Value. In calculating the Surrender
Charge, Premiums will be allocated at the time of surrender on a first-in,
first-out basis.
The amount of the Surrender Charge is calculated by:
1. reducing the amount to be surrendered by the greater of:
a) the accumulated earnings of this contract (i.e., the Contract Value
minus Premiums which have not been allocated to amounts previously
surrendered); or b) 10% of all remaining unsurrendered Premiums,
decreased by any surrender made since the last Contract Anniversary;
then
2. allocating Premiums to the remaining amount to be surrendered; and
3. multiplying each such allocated Premium by the applicable Percentage of
Premium shown in the Contract Schedule for the period since such Premium
was paid; and
4. adding the products of each multiplication in (3) above.
For a partial surrender, the Surrender Charge will be deducted from the
remaining Contract Value, if sufficient; otherwise it will be deducted from the
amount surrendered.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DELAY OF PAYMENTS
We will make any payments under this contract within 7 days (or any shorter
period, if required by law) of a request received in good order. We reserve the
right to suspend or postpone any type of payment from the Variable Account for
any period when:
1. the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekend and
holiday closings:
2. trading on the Exchange is restricted;
3. an emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable
to dispose of securities held in the Variable Account or determine their
value; or
4. the Securities and Exchange Commission so permits delay for the protection
of security holders.
The applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission will govern as to
whether the conditions in 2. or 3. exist.
