Risk/Benefit Summary of Policy

Use of Policy

The Policy provides corporations and other entities life insurance coverage on employees or other persons in whose lives they have an insurable interest. It may be used in connection with various types of non-tax-qualified executive benefit plans.

Premium Payments

-

Generally, you must make an initial minimum premium payment equal to 1/12th of the Seven Pay Premium. If Seven Pay Premium is exceeded, the Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract.

 

-

Seven Pay Premium is the maximum premium payment permitted in the first Policy Year of an unrated Policy under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702A, not involving a 1035 exchange.

 

-

-

A 1035 exchange is a tax-sheltered exchange of cash value from one life insurance policy to another.

A Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract if the premium paid during the first seven Policy Years exceeds the equivalent of seven level annual premiums necessary for a paid-up Policy.

-

-

You choose the amount and timing of subsequent premium payments, within certain limits.

We allocate your net premium payments among the Policy's Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account according to your instructions.

Account Value

-

The Account Value equals

 

-

-

-

 

premiums and loan repayments, plus

investment performance of the Sub-Accounts, the Fixed Account and the Loan Account; less

any loans, partial surrenders and Policy charges.

Accessing Your Account Value

Cash Surrender Value is

 

-

-

-

Account Value, less

Policy Debt, plus

any Enhancement Benefit.

-

-

-

You may borrow from us using the Account Value as collateral.

You may surrender the Policy for its Cash Surrender Value.

You may make a partial surrender of only a portion of the Cash Surrender Value once per year after the Policy has been in force for one year.

A partial surrender may cause a decrease in Total Face Amount of your Policy if the amount of the death benefit minus your Account Value after the partial surrender exceeds the amount of the death benefit minus your Account Value before the partial surrender.

Death Benefit Compliance Test

-

For favorable federal tax treatment, the Policy must meet the standards of the Cash Value Accumulation Test.-

     

-

Please see the Death Benefit Compliance Test paragraph in the About the Policy section of the prospectus for the Cash Value Accumulation Test definition.

Death Benefit

Specified Face Amount is the amount of life insurance coverage you request.

-

You have a choice of three death benefit options-

 

-

-

-

the Specified Face Amount (Option A); or

the Specified Face Amount plus your Gross Cash Surrender Value (Option B); or

the Specified Face Amount plus cumulative premiums paid (Option C).

-

 

-

You may change your death benefit option on any Policy Anniversary, subject to our underwriting rules then in effect.

At any time, you may-

 

-

-

increase the Specified Face Amount, subject to satisfactory evidence of the Insured's insurability; or

decrease the Specified Face Amount to a level not less than the minimum specified in the Policy.

The Variable Account

-

 

-

-

-

-

We have established a separate account ( the "Variable Account") to fund the variable insurance benefits under your Policy.

The assets of the Variable Account are free from our general creditor's claims.

The Variable Account is divided into Sub-Accounts.

Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a corresponding mutual fund.

When you choose Sub-Accounts in the Variable Account, your benefits will fluctuate based on certain economic conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to

 

-

-

-

-

inflationary forces,

changes in rates of return available from different types of investments,

changes in employment rates and

the presence of international conflict.

-

-

-

With such Sub-Accounts, you assume all investment risk.

A comprehensive discussion of the risks of such Sub-Accounts may be found in the underlying Fund's prospectus.

It is unsuitable to purchase a life insurance policy as a short-term savings vehicle.

Investment Options

-

-

 

-

You may allocate your net premium payments among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account.

You may transfer amounts from one Sub-Account to another or to the Fixed Account, subject to any limits that we or the Funds may impose.

You may transfer amounts from the Fixed Account, subject to our transfer rules in effect at time of transfer.

Right to Return Period

You may return the Policy and receive a refund within 10 days (or a longer period if required by applicable state law) beginning when you receive the Policy.

What if Charges and Deductions Exceed Account Value?

Your Policy may terminate if your Account Value at the beginning of any Policy Month is insufficient to pay all charges and deductions then due. If this occurs, we will send you written notice and allow you a 61 day grace period. If you do not make a premium payment within the grace period sufficient to cover all charges and deductions due, the Policy will terminate at the end of the grace period.

Federal Tax Considerations

Purchase of, and transactions under, the Policy may have tax consequences that you should consider. You may wish to consult a qualified tax professional prior to purchase regarding tax treatment of death benefits and surrenders.

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering the Policy. The first table describes the expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Policy and at the time of each subsequent premium payment.

About Who We Are

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware on January 12, 1970. Our executive office mailing address is One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. We do business in 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. Business in New York is conducted through an insurance company subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). We issue individual and group life insurance policies and annuity contracts.

We are an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("Sun Life (Canada)"). Sun Life (Canada) completed its demutualization on March 22, 2000. As a result of the demutualization, a new holding company, Sun Life Financial, Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"), is now the ultimate parent of Sun Life (Canada) and the Company. Sun Life Financial, a corporation organized in Canada, is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York and Philippine stock exchanges.

 

 

The Variable Account

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G is one of our separate accounts established in accordance with Delaware law on July 25, 1996. The Variable Account may also be used to fund benefits payable under other life insurance policies issued by us. We, the Company, are obligated to pay all benefits payable under the Policy.

We own the assets of the Variable Account. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to the Variable Account are credited to or charged against the Variable Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.

We will at all times maintain assets in the Variable Account with a total market value at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities relating to the variable benefits under all policies participating in the Variable Account. The assets of the Variable Account are insulated from our general liabilities and may not be charged with our liabilities from our other business. Our obligations under the Policy are, however, our general corporate obligations.

The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as a unit investment trust. That registration does not involve any supervision by the SEC of the management or investment practices or policies of the Variable Account.

The Variable Account may be deregistered if registration is no longer required; however, we may continue, at our election, to operate the Variable Account as a unit investment trust or other form of investment company, subject to any necessary vote by those having voting rights. In the event of any change in the registration status of the Variable Account, we may amend the Policy to reflect the change and take such other action as may be necessary and appropriate to effect the change.

The Variable Account is divided into Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a corresponding investment portfolio of a registered investment company (commonly known as a mutual fund). We may in the future add new or delete existing Sub-Accounts. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to each Sub-Account are credited to or charged against that Sub-Account without regard to the other income, gains or losses of the other Sub-Accounts.

Fees and Expenses of the Funds. Fund shares are purchased at net asset value, which reflects the deduction of investment management fees and other expenses. The management fees are charged by each Fund's investment adviser for managing the Fund and selecting its portfolio of securities. Other expenses can include such items as interest expense on loans and contracts with transfer agents, custodians and other companies that provide services to the Fund, and actual expenses may vary.

Because they are assessed at the Fund level, you will indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the Funds you select. The table presented earlier in this prospectus shows the range of fees and expenses paid by the Funds as a percentage of average net assets. These fees and expenses are more fully described in the Fund Prospectuses.

Potential Conflicts. We, as well as other affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies, may also purchase shares of the Funds on behalf of other separate accounts used to fund variable benefits payable under other variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. As a result, it is possible, though we do not anticipate, that a material conflict may arise between the interests of our policyowners with respect to the Variable Account and those of other variable contractowners with respect to the other separate accounts that participate in the Funds. The Funds have agreed to monitor themselves for the existence of any material conflict between the interests of variable contractowners. In the event of such a conflict involving a Fund, we will take any steps necessary to remedy the conflict including withdrawing the assets of the Variable Account from the Fund. If the Variable Account or another separate account withdraws its assets from a Fund for this reason, the Fund may be forced to sell its portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices which would negatively affect the investment performance of the corresponding Sub-Account.

 

Our General Account

Our general account consists of all of our assets other than those in our variable separate accounts. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of our general account assets.

Interests in our general account offered through the Fixed Account investment option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and our general account has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

An allocation of premium to the Fixed Account does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of our general account. Instead, we guarantee that your Fixed Account allocation will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate of at least 2%, without regard to the actual investment experience of our general account. We may credit a higher rate of interest but are not obligated to do so.

 

About the Policy

This prospectus describes the standard features of the Policy. The Policy, as issued, may differ in some respects due to the legal requirements of the state where the Policy is issued.

Application and Issuance. To apply for a Policy, you must submit an application to our Principal Office. We will then follow underwriting procedures designed to determine the insurability of the proposed Insured. We offer the Policy on a regular (or medical) underwriting, simplified underwriting, expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis. The proposed Insured generally must be less than 81 years old for a Policy to be issued. For Policies underwritten on a medical or simplified basis, we may require that the proposed Insured undergo one or more medical examinations and that you provide us with such additional information as we may deem necessary, before an application is approved. The cost of insurance rates are higher for healthy individuals when simplified underwriting is

used instead of regular underwriting. We will issue Policies on an expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis with respect to certain groups of Insureds. Policies issued on such basis must be pre-approved based on information you provide to us on a master application and on certain other underwriting requirements which all members of a proposed group of Insureds must meet. Proposed Insureds must be acceptable risks based on our underwriting limits and standards. We will not issue a Policy until the underwriting process has been completed to our satisfaction. In addition, we reserve the right to reject an application that does not meet our underwriting requirements or to "rate" an Insured as a substandard risk, which will result in increased Monthly Cost of Insurance charges.

Death Benefit Compliance Test. The Policy must, at all times, satisfy the legal standard of the Cash Value Accumulation Test for it to qualify as life insurance and thus be entitled to receive favorable tax treatment under applicable federal tax law. The Death Benefit must effectively always equal or exceed your gross cash surrender value multiplied by a certain percentage (the "Death Benefit Percentage"). The Death Benefit Percentages for the Cash Value Accumulation Test vary by age and sex.

Initial Premium Payment. A Minimum Premium will be due and payable as of the Issue Date. In general, the Minimum Premium equals 1/12th of the Seven Pay Premium. The Seven Pay Premium is the maximum premium payment permitted in the first Policy Year of an unrated Policy, not involving a 1035 exchange, so the Policy does not become a Modified Endowment Contract. Pending approval of your application, we will allocate any premium payments you make to our general account. If your application is not approved, we will promptly return your premium payments.

Effective Date of Coverage. Upon approval of your application, we will issue to you a Policy on the life of the Insured which will set forth your rights and our obligations. The Issue Date is the date specified as such in the Policy, from which Policy Anniversaries, Policy Years and Policy Months are measured. The Effective Date of Coverage for the Policy will be the latest of-

-

-

-

the Issue Date, or

the date we approve the application for the Policy, or

the date you pay a premium equal to or in excess of the Minimum Premium.

Insurable Interest Requirement. You must have an insurable interest in the life of the Insured up to the full amount of insurance coverage. Otherwise, the Policy will not qualify as life insurance under applicable state insurance and federal tax law. You should consult with a qualified adviser when determining the amount of coverage and before taking any action to increase the amount of existing coverage to ensure that you have an insurable interest for the full amount of coverage.

Right to Return Policy Period

If you are not satisfied with the Policy, you may return it by delivering or mailing it to our Principal Office or to the sales representative through whom you purchased the Policy within 10 days from the date of receipt (unless a different period is applicable under state law) (the "Right to Return Policy Period").

If you return the Policy during the Right to Return Policy Period, the Policy will be deemed void and you will receive a refund equal to the sum of-

-

 

-

 

-

the difference between any premium payments made, including fees and charges, and the amounts allocated to the Investment Options;

the value of the amounts allocated to the Investment Options on the date the cancellation request is received by us or the sales representative through whom you purchased the Policy; and

any fees or charges imposed on amounts allocated to the Investment Options.

 

If required by applicable state insurance law, however, you will receive instead a refund equal to the sum of all premium payments made, without regard to the investment experience of the Variable Account. Unless you are entitled to receive a full refund of premium, you bear all of the investment risks with respect to the amount of any net premiums allocated to the Variable Account during the Right to Return Policy Period with respect to the Policy.

If you are entitled under applicable state law to receive a full refund during the Right to Return Policy Period, we will allocate the net premium payments to the Fidelity VIP Money Market Portfolio Sub-Account during that period beginning on the Investment Start Date. Upon expiration of the Right to Return Policy Period, we will reallocate your Account Value and allocate future net premium payments in accordance with your instructions.

 

Premium Payments

In general, you may choose the frequency and amount of any additional premium payments subject to the limits described below. All premium payments should be made payable to Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and mailed to our Principal Office.

General Limitations. We reserve the right to limit the number of premium payments we accept on an annual basis. No premium payment may be less than $100 without our consent, although we will accept a smaller premium payment if it is necessary to keep the Policy in force. We reserve the right not to accept a premium payment that causes the Death Benefit to increase by an amount that exceeds the premium received and we may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before we accept such a premium.

Planned Periodic Premiums. While you are not required to make premium payments according to a fixed schedule, you may select a planned periodic premium schedule and corresponding billing period, subject to our premium limits. In general, the billing period must be annual or semiannual. We will send reminder notices for the planned periodic premium at the beginning of each billing period unless reminder notices have been suspended as described below. You are not required, however, to pay the planned periodic premium; you may increase or decrease premium payments, subject to our limits, and you may skip a planned payment or make unscheduled payments. You may change your planned payment schedule or the billing period, subject to our approval. Depending on the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts you select, the planned periodic premium may not be sufficient to keep the Policy in force, and you may need to change your planned payment schedule or make additional payments in order to prevent termination of the Policy. We reserve the right to suspend reminder notices if premiums are not being paid (except for notices in connection with the grace period). We will notify you prior to suspending reminder notices. We will also suspend reminder notices at your written request.

Allocation of Net Premium. Net Premium is the amount you pay as premium minus the Premium Expense Load. We will allocate Net Premium among the Investment Options in accordance with your allocation instructions, except during the Right to Return Policy Period as described above. You will be required to specify initial allocation percentages at the time of application. While there are no limitations concerning the number of Investment Options to which Net Premium may be allocated, we reserve the right to impose minimum allocation amounts, as determined by the Fund, for any or all Investment Options.

You may change the allocation of future Net Premium at any time by submitting an acceptable request to us. An allocation change will be effective as of the date we receive your request for that change, provided that it is received on a Valuation Date before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If a request is received on a day that is not a Valuation Date or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Valuation Date, it will become effective on the next Valuation Date.

Modified Endowment Contract. Less favorable federal tax rules apply to life insurance policies that are defined as "Modified Endowment Contracts." One way the Policy could become a Modified Endowment Contract is if you pay premiums in excess of applicable tax law limitations.

We will notify you or your sales representative within one business day if we receive a premium that would, in our opinion, cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract. We will not credit the premium unless we receive specific instructions from you or your sales representative to do so. Any such premium will be held, for a period not to exceed 90 days, in a non-interest bearing account. This premium will be refunded at the end of the 90 day period if we have not received specific instruction from you or your sales representative concerning the premium.

Additional Protection Benefit Rider (APB Rider)

The Policy may be issued with an APB Rider. This rider provides life insurance coverage, annually renewable to Insured's Attained Age 100, on the life of the Insured equal to the amount of the APB Rider Death Benefit. You will be required to specify the initial APB Rider Face Amount in the policy application.

The cost of the APB Rider will be included in the Monthly Cost of Insurance deduction. The applicable guaranteed maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates for the APB Rider Death Benefit exceed those for the Base Death Benefit.

Target Premium is the amount of premium specified as such in the Policy, used to determine the Premium Expense Load and Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium. Total Face Amount is the sum of the Specified Face Amount and the APB Rider Face Amount.

Two otherwise identical Policies with the same Total Face Amount will have different Target Premiums depending on how much of the Total Face Amount is attributable to the Specified Face Amount versus the APB Rider Face Amount. Target Premium will be lower for the Policy which has the greater APB Rider Face Amount.

If you convert the Policy to a flexible premium universal life insurance policy, any related APB Rider will terminate automatically. An APB Rider will also terminate on the earliest of-

-

-

-

-

our receipt of your written request for termination,

the lapse of the Policy because of insufficient value,

the Insured's Attained Age 100, or

the termination of the Policy.

Death Benefit

Policy Proceeds. If the Policy is in force at the time of the Insured's death and we have received Due Proof of the Insured's death, we will pay your designated beneficiary a lump sum amount equal to-

-

-

-

-

the amount of the Base Death Benefit, minus

the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt, plus

the amount of any APB Rider Death Benefit, plus

the amount of any other supplemental benefits.

The amount of the Base Death Benefit depends upon the death benefit option in effect at the time of the Insured's death.

Death Benefit Options. The Policy has three death benefit options. You will be required to select one of them in the policy application.

Option A-Specified Face Amount. Under this option, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of-

-

-

the Policy's Specified Face Amount, or

the Gross Cash Surrender Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

   

Option B-Specified Face Amount Plus Gross Cash Surrender Value. Under this option, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of-

 

-

-

the Specified Face Amount plus the Gross Cash Surrender Value, or

the Gross Cash Surrender value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

Option C-Specified Face Amount Plus Cumulative Premiums Paid. Under this option, the Base Death Benefit is the greater of-

 

-

-

the Specified Face Amount plus the sum of all premiums paid less any partial surrenders, or

the Gross Cash Surrender Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage.

On any Monthly Anniversary Day when the Base Death Benefit is defined as the Gross Cash Surender Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit Percentage, and the Base Death Benefit minus the Gross Cash Surrender Value exceeds the greater of 1) the Policy's Total Face Amount and 2) the Base Death Benefit less the Gross Cash Surrender Value on the prior Monthly Anniversary Day, we reserve the right to distribute Account Value to you as a partial surrender to the extent necessary so that the Base Death Benefit minus the Gross Cash Surrender Value does not exceed the greater of 1) and 2) above.

We will notify you in writing if we exercise our right to distribute Account Value to you as a partial surrender as described above. You may allocate the partial surrender among the Investment Options. If you do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the partial surrender among the Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value of each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value less the Loan Account immediately prior to the partial surrender.

The Policy Proceeds will be paid as they become due upon the death of the Insured. If the Insured dies while the Policy is in force, we will make a lump sum payment when we receive due proof of that death. Through the Insured's Attained Age 100, the Death Benefit used to determine Policy Proceeds is based on the death benefit option, the Specified Face Amount and Gross Cash Surrender Value in effect on the Insured's date of death. After the Insured's Attained Age 100, any death benefit provided by rider terminates and the Death Benefit will be equal to the Gross Cash Surrender Value.

You should note that the Policy may not qualify as life insurance after the Insured s Attained Age 100, which may result in adverse tax consequences. You should consult your tax advisor prior to continuing the Policy beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100.

Changes in the Death Benefit Option. You may change the death benefit option, subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the change. Requests for a change must be made in writing to us at our Principal Office. The effective date of the change will be the Policy Anniversary on or next following the date of receipt of your request.

 

APB Rider Death Benefit. The APB Rider Death Benefit is the greater of zero or the result of the APB Rider Face Amount minus the excess, if any, of the Base Death Benefit over-

-

-

 

-

the Specified Face Amount, if the applicable death benefit option is Option A, or

the Specified Face Amount plus the Gross Cash Surrender Value, if the applicable death benefit option is Option B, or

the Specified Face Amount plus the sum of all premiums paid less any partial surrenders, if the applicable death benefit option is Option C.

 

Minimum Face Amount. Total Face Amount is the sum of the Specified Face Amount and the APB Rider Face Amount. In general, the Total Face Amount must be at least $50,000, of which the Specified Face Amount must be at least $5,000. We reserve the right to waive these minimums and to offer the Policy only in conjunction with an APB Rider with a specified APB Rider Face Amount.

Changes in Face Amount. You may change the Specified Face Amount and, if applicable, the APB Rider Face Amount, subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the change. Unless you specify otherwise, we will first apply a change to the APB Rider Face Amount to the extent possible. You must send your request for a change to us in writing. The Effective Date of Coverage for changes will be-

-

 

-

for any increase in coverage, the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on or next follows the date we approve the supplemental application for the increase; and

for any decrease in coverage, the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on or next follows the date we receive your request.

Increases in Face Amount. An increase in the Specified Face Amount and, if applicable, the APB Rider Face Amount, is subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the increase. You may be required to submit satisfactory evidence of the Insured's insurability.

Decreases in Face Amount. The Specified Face Amount may not decrease to less than the Minimum Specified Face Amount specified in the Policy. Similarly, a decrease in Specified Face Amount or APB Rider Face Amount may not decrease the Total Face Amount to an amount less than the Minimum Total Face Amount specified in the Policy. A decrease in face amount will be applied-

-

-

-

first, to the most recent increase;

second, to the next most recent increases, in reverse chronological order; and

finally, to the initial face amount.

Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of the amounts in each Investment Option plus the amount of the Loan Account.

We measure the amounts in the Sub-Accounts in terms of Units and Unit Values. On any given day, the amount you have in a Sub-Account is equal to the Unit Value multiplied by the number of Units credited to you in that Sub-Account. The Units for each Sub-Account will have different Unit Values.

Amounts allocated to a Sub-Account will be used to purchase Units of that Sub-Account. Units are redeemed when you make partial surrenders, undertake policy loans or transfer amounts from a Sub-Account, and for payment of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the Monthly Expense Charge, the Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium and the Monthly Cost of Insurance Charge. The number of Units of each Sub-Account purchased or redeemed is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the Unit Value for the Sub-Account. A Valuation Date is any day on which we, the applicable Fund and the New York Stock Exchange are open for business. For the first Valuation Date of each Sub-Account, the Unit Value is established by us. The Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to the Unit Value for the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the Net Investment Factor. The Unit Value of a Sub-Account for any Valuation Date is determined as of the close of the Valuation Period ending on that Valuation Date. The Valuation Period is the period of time from one determination of Unit Values to the next.

Transactions are normally processed on the date we receive a premium at our Principal Office or any acceptable request is received at our Principal Office. If your premium or request is received on a date that is not a Valuation Date, or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Valuation Date, the transaction will be processed on the next Valuation Date.

The Investment Start Date is the date we apply your first premium payment, which will be the later of the Issue Date, the Business Day we approve the policy application or the Business Day we receive a premium equal to or in excess of the Minimum Premium.

Account Value for Investment Options. The Account Value on the Investment Start Date equals-

-

-

 

-

that portion of Net Premium received and allocated to the Investment Options, minus

the Monthly Expense Charges due on the Issue Date and subsequent Monthly Anniversary Days through the Investment Start Date, minus

the Monthly Cost of Insurance deductions due from the Issue Date through the Investment Start Date.

 

The Account Value on subsequent Valuation Dates is equal to-

-

 

 

-

-

 

-

-

 

-

 

-

 

the Account Value attributable to each Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by that Sub-Account's Net Investment Factor, , less the Daily Risk Percentage multiplied by the number of days in the Valuation Period multiplied by the Account Value in the Sub-Account, plus

the value of the Fixed Account on the preceding Valuation Date, accrued at interest, plus

that portion of Net Premium received and allocated to each Investment Option during the current Valuation Period, plus

that portion of any loan repayment allocated to an Investment Option during the current Valuation Period, plus

if that day is a Policy Anniversary, any amount transferred to an Investment Option by which the Account Value in the Loan Account exceeds the outstanding Policy loan, minus

that portion of any partial surrenders deducted from each Investment Option during the current Valuation Period, minus

that portion of any Policy loan transferred from each Investment Option to the Loan Account during the current Valuation Period, minus

-

 

-

 

-

 

-

if a Policy Anniversary occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium charged to each Investment Option, minus

if a Monthly Anniversary Day occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the Monthly Expense Charge for the Policy Month just beginning charged to each Investment Option, minus

if a Monthly Anniversary Day occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the Monthly Cost of Insurance for the Policy Month just ending charged to each Investment Option, minus

if you surrender during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the pro-rata Monthly Cost of Insurance for the Policy Month charged to each Investment Option.

Net Investment Factor. The Net Investment Factor is used to measure the Sub-Account's investment performance from one Valuation Period to the next. This factor will be greater or less than or equal to one, corresponding to a positive or negative or to a lack of change in the Sub-Account's investment performance for the preceding Valuation Period. Although we do not currently take any federal, state or local taxes into account when determining the Net Investment Factor, we reserve the right to do so. The Net Investment Factor for each Sub-Account for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing the net result of-

-

-

 

 

-

the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the Valuation Period, plus

the amount of any dividend or other distribution declared on amounts held in the Sub-Account if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the Valuation Period, which for some assets will not be credited with investment experience until the dividend is paid, plus or minus

a credit or charge with respect to any taxes reserved for by us, or paid by us if not previously reserved for, during the Valuation Period which are determined by us to be attributable to the operation of the Sub-Account,

-by the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the preceding Valuation Period.

Account Value in the Loan Account. The Account Value in the Loan Account is zero on the Investment Start Date.

The Account Value in the Loan Account on any day after the Investment Start Date equals-

-

 

-

 

-

-

the Account Value in the Loan Account on the preceding day credited with interest at the rate specified in the Policy as the "interest credited on Loan Account rate" of 4%, plus

any amount transferred from any Investment Option to the Loan Account for Policy loans requested on that day; minus

any loan repayments made on that day, minus

if that day is a Policy Anniversary, any amount transferred to an Investment Option by which the Loan Account Value exceeds the outstanding Policy loan.

Insufficient Value. If the Account Value minus the outstanding Policy Debt is less than or equal to zero on a Valuation Date, then the Policy will terminate for no value, subject to the grace period described below.

Grace Period. If, on a Valuation Date, the Policy will terminate by reason of insufficient value, we will allow a grace period. This grace period will allow 61 calendar days from that Valuation Date for the payment of a Net Premium sufficient to cover the deductions from the Account Value. Notice of premium due will be mailed to your last known address or the last known address of any assignee of record. We will assume that your last known address is the address shown on the policy application (or notice of assignment), unless we have received satisfactory notice of a change in address. If the premium due is not paid during the grace period, then the Policy will terminate without value at the end of the 61 day period without further notice. The Policy will continue to remain in force during this grace period. If the Policy Proceeds become payable during the grace period, they will be reduced by any overdue deductions. If the Policy terminates by reason of insufficient value, there is no right to reinstate the coverage.

Insured's Attained Age 100. At the Insured's Attained Age 100, no further premium will be accepted. The Account Value will be determined in the same manner as it was prior to the Insured's Attained Age 100, except that no further deduction for Monthly Cost of Insurance will be made.

The Policy may not qualify as life insurance beyond the Insured's Attained Age 100, which may result in adverse tax consequences. We recommend that you receive counsel from your tax advisor.

Enhancement Benefit. An Enhancement Benefit may be provided if you surrender the Policy and such surrender is not made pursuant to an exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provision). The amount available for Policy loan or partial surrender will not increase by any Enhancement Benefit.

Splitting Units. We reserve the right to split or combine the value of Units. In effecting any such change, strict equity will be preserved and no change will have a material effect on the benefits or other provisions of the Policy.

Transfer Privileges

You normally may transfer all or a portion of your Account Value among Sub-Accounts and into the Fixed Account. Transfers from the Fixed Account may not exceed the greater of the transfer percentage multiplied by the highest Fixed Account value over the transfer period and the transfer minimum. The transfer percentage, transfer period and transfer minimum are shown in the Policy. We will make transfers pursuant to an acceptable request to our Principal Office.

You may transfer a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Investment Option's value.

All transfers are subject to our consent. We reserve the right to impose limitations on transfers, including, but not limited to-

-

-

-

the minimum amount that may be transferred;

the frequency of transfers; and

the minimum amount that may remain in a Sub-Account following a transfer from that Sub-Account.

We do not reserve any right to impose charges for transfers.

The Policy is not designed for short-term trading. If you wish to employ such strategies, do not purchase a Policy. As described above, transfers may be subject to restrictions. In imposing such restrictions, we may, among other things, delay or not accept the transfer instructions of you or your agent. Transfer restrictions are subject to our ability to monitor trading activity. Some policyowners and their agents engaging in short-term trading may employ a variety of strategies to avoid detection. Despite our efforts to prevent short-term trading, there is no assurance that we will be able to identify such policyowners or agents or curtail their trading. In addition, some of the Funds reserve the right to delay or refuse purchase or transfer requests from the Variable Account if, in the judgment of the Fund's investment adviser, the Fund would be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or the request is considered to be part of a short-term trading strategy. Accordingly, the Variable Account may not be in a position to effectuate some transfers with such Funds and, therefore, will be unable to process such transfer requests. We also reserve the right to refuse or delay exchange requests involving transfers to or from the Fixed Account.

Accessing Your Account Value

Surrender. By written request, you may surrender the Policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time. The date the surrender is processed, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the Policy will terminate. The Cash Surrender Value is-

-

-

-

 

the Account Value, minus

the outstanding balance of any outstanding Policy Debt; plus

any Enhancement Benefit.

Partial Surrenders. You may make a partial surrender of the Policy once each Policy Year after the first Policy Year by request to our Principal Office in a form satisfactory to us. The amount of any partial surrender may not exceed the Account Value minus any outstanding Policy Debt and will be payable in a lump sum. Partial surrenders may have tax consequences. Unless you provide us satisfactory evidence that the Insured remains an acceptable risk based on our underwriting limits and standards, the Total Face Amount will be reduced to the extent necessary so that

-

 

-

the death benefit increased by the amounts payable under supplemental benefits minus the Account Value immediately after the partial surrender does not exceed

the death benefit increased by the amounts payable under supplemental benefits minus the Account Value immediately before the partial surrender.

If you provide satisfactory evidence of insurability, the Death Benefit will be equal to what it was immediately prior to the partial surrender. After the partial surrender, the Specified Face Amount may not be lower than the minimum Specified Face Amount and the Total Face Amount may not be lower than the minimum Total Face Amount.

You may allocate a partial surrender among the Investment Options. If you do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the partial surrender among the Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value less the Loan Account immediately prior to the partial surrender.

Policy Loans. Using the Policy as collateral, you may request a policy loan of your Account Value, decreased by the balance of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the policy loan is made and by the projected deductions due to the next Policy Anniversary. We will transfer Account Value equal to the amount of the policy loan from the Investment Options to the Loan Account on the date the policy loan is made. You may allocate the policy loan among the Investment Options. If you do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the policy loan among the Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value less the Loan Account immediately prior to the policy loan.

Interest on the policy loan will accrue daily at an annual rate of 5% in Policy Years 1 through 10 and 4.25% thereafter. This interest will be due and payable to us in arrears on each Policy Anniversary. Any unpaid interest will be added to the principal amount as an additional policy loan and will bear interest at the same rate and in the same manner as the prior policy loan.

The Cash Surrender Value and the Policy Proceeds are reduced by the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt.

All amounts paid by you that we receive will be credited to the Policy as premium unless we have received acceptable notice that the funds are to be applied to repay a policy loan. It is generally advantageous to repay a loan rather than to make a premium payment, because premium payments incur expense charges but loan repayments do not. Loan repayments will first reduce the outstanding balance of the policy loan and then accrued but unpaid interest on such loans. We will accept repayment of any policy loan at any time while the Policy is in force. The amount of the loan repayment up to the outstanding balance of the policy loan will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options. You may allocate the loan repayment among the Investment Options. If you do not specify the allocation, then we will allocate the loan repayment among the Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value minus the Loan Account immediately prior to the loan repayment. We reserve the right to require that loan repayments, up to the amount of the loan allocated to the Fixed Account, first be allocated back to the Fixed Account.

Deferral of Payment. We will usually pay any amount due from the Variable Account within seven days after the Valuation Date following our receipt of notice for payment or, in the case of death of the Insured, Due Proof of such death. Payment of any amount payable from the Variable Account on death, surrender, partial surrender or policy loan may be postponed whenever-

-

 

-

 

-

the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closing, or trading on that exchange is otherwise restricted;

the SEC, or other regulatory agency with jurisdiction, by order, permits postponement for the protection of policyowners; or

an emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable, or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the assets of the Variable Account.

We reserve the right to defer payment of any portion of the Cash Surrender Value, policy loan or partial surrender payable from the Fixed Account for a period not exceeding six months from the date we receive your surrender or loan request.

Charges, Deductions and Refunds

Premium Expense Load. We deduct a load from each premium payment for state and federal tax obligations and as a sales load.

For Policy Years 1 through 7, the current Premium Expense Load will be no less than 5.0% and no greater than 9.0% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium and will be no less than 0.0% and no greater than 3.25% on premium paid in excess of Target Premium. For Policy Year 8 and thereafter, the current Premium Expense Load will be no less than 0.0% and no greater than 3.25% on all premium paid.

The Premium Expense Load for Policy Years 1 through 7 is guaranteed not to exceed 12.5% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium and 5.5% on premium paid in excess of Target Premium. The Premium Expense Load for Policy Year 8 and thereafter is guaranteed not to exceed 3.25% on all premium payments.

Target Premium varies based on the Specified Face Amount and the Insured's Issue Age and sex. We may reduce or waive the Premium Expense Load for certain group or sponsored arrangements and corporate purchasers.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. We deduct a daily charge from the assets of the Variable Account for the mortality and expense risks we assume with respect to the Policy. This charge is based on the applicable Daily Risk Percentage, which we will from time to time determine based on our expectations of future interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses, profit and taxes. Expressed as an equivalent annual rate, the Daily Risk Percentage is guaranteed not to exceed 0.90% (0.0024548% daily) of assets. The current Daily Risk Percentage will be no less than 0.15% (0.0004107% daily) and no greater than 0.60% (0.0016389% daily) of assets in Policy Years 1 through 9 and 0.10% (0.0002738 daily) of assets thereafter.

The mortality risk we assume is that the group of lives insured under the Policies may, on average, live for shorter periods of time than we estimated. The expense risk we assume is that our costs of issuing and administering Policies may be more than we estimated.

 

Monthly Expense Charge. We deduct a flat charge at the beginning of each month to cover administrative and other expenses actually incurred. We will from time to time determine the applicable Monthly Expense Charge based on our expectations of future experience with respect to interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses, profit and taxes, which will not exceed $15.00 in any Policy Month. Currently, the Monthly Expense Charge is $5.00 per month.

Monthly Cost of Insurance. We deduct a Monthly Cost of Insurance charge from your Account Value to cover anticipated costs of providing insurance coverage. This charge is made, in arrears, at the end of each Policy Month. If you surrender the Policy on any day other than a Monthly Anniversary Day, we will deduct a cost of insurance charge on a pro-rata basis. The deduction will equal the monthly cost of insurance rate multiplied by the Net Amount at Risk, divided by 1000. The deduction will also be adjusted to include any rider charges and any additional charges due to a substandard risk classification. The Net Amount at Risk is determined at the end of the Policy Month prior to the deduction of the Monthly Cost of Insurance and is the Death Benefit less the Gross Cash Surrender Value. The Net Amount at Risk is affected by the performance of the Sub-Accounts to which premium is allocated, the cumulative premium paid, any Policy Debt, any partial surrenders, transaction fees and periodic charges.

Monthly Cost of Insurance rates are based on the length of time the Policy has been in force and on the Insured's sex (except for unisex Policies), Issue Age, Class and table rating, if any. We will from time to time determine the applicable rates based on our expectations of future experience with respect to interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses, profit and taxes. The expenses we consider will include, but not be limited to, any additional commissions we are required to pay as a result of any additional services that a corporate purchaser specifically requests or authorizes to be provided by our agent. Any variations will be based on uniformly applied criteria that do not discriminate unfairly against any owner. We anticipate the cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Policy to be less than the guaranteed maximum monthly rates shown in the Policy, unless the Insured has been rated a substandard risk. The cost of insurance rates shown in the Policy are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table A (for males), Table B (for unisex) or Table G (for females) Monthly cost of insurance rates for classes of Insureds with substandard risk ratings are based on multiples of the CSO Mortality Tables described above.

Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium. A deduction for this expense load, which is assessed in Policy Years 2 through 7 and deducted on the Policy Anniversary, is based on premium payments in Policy Year 1 up to and including Target Premium. We will from time to time detemrine the applicable load based on our expectations of future experience with respect to interest, mortality experience, peresistency, expenses, profit and taxes. The load is guaranteed not to exceed 1.0%. Currently, the load will be no less than 0.0% and no greater than 0.5%.

Directed Deductions. You have the ability to direct from which Investment Options the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, Monthly Expense Charge, Deferred Expense Load on Policy Year 1 Premium and Monthly Cost of Insurance Charge deductions are taken. The deductions will be allocated among the selected Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value in all Investment Options selected. If you do not specify the allocation, or to the extent the total Account Value in all Investment Options selected is less than the deduction, deductions will be allocated among Investment Options in the same proportion that the Account Value attributable to each Investment Option bears to the total Account Value less the Loan Account immediately prior to the deduction.

APB Rider Charge. The Account Value will be reduced monthly by the cost of this rider, if attached to the Policy. We anticipate the rider's cost of insurance to be less than the guaranteed maximum monthly rates shown in the Policy for this rider. The rates are based on 125% of the 1980 CSO Mortality Table A (for males), Table B (for unisex) or Table G (for females), unless the Insured has been rated a substandard risk. Monthly rider cost of insurance rates for classes of Insured with substandard risk ratings are based on multiples of the CSO Mortality Tables described above.

Reduction of Charges. We reserve the right to reduce any of our charges and deductions in connection with the sale of the Policy if we expect that the sale may result in cost savings, subject to any requirements we may from time to time impose. We may change our requirements based on experience. We will determine the propriety and amount of any reduction. No reduction will be unfairly discriminatory against the interests of any owner.

Termination of Policy

The Policy will terminate on the earliest of-

-

-

-

the date we receive your request to surrender,

the expiration date of the grace period due to insufficient value, or

the date of Insured's death.

Other Policy Provisions

Alteration. Our sales representatives do not have the authority to either alter or modify the Policy or to waive any of its provisions. The only persons with this authority are our president, actuary, secretary or one of our vice presidents.

Assignments. During the lifetime of the Insured, you may assign all or some of your rights under the Policy. All assignments must be filed at our Principal Office and must be in a form satisfactory to us. The assignment will then be effective as of the date you signed the form, subject to any action taken before it was recorded by us at our Principal Office. We are not responsible for the validity or legal effect of any assignment. Neither the Policy nor any of your rights or those of a beneficiary may be assigned or transferred without our permission.

Owner and Beneficiary. The owner has the sole and absolute power to exercise all rights and privileges under the Policy without the consent of any other person unless you provide otherwise by written notice. The beneficiary has no rights under the Policy until the death of the Insured. A beneficiary is any person or entity, namee in our records as the proper recipient of the Policy Proceeds. You may change beneficiary by sending notice in a form satisfactory to us. If there is no beneficiary living when the Insured dies, we will pay the Policy Proceeds under the Policy to you. If you are also the Insured, the Policy Proceeds will be paid to your estate.

Reports to Owners. We will send you a report at least once each Policy Year. The report will show current policy values, premiums paid and deductions made since the last report. It will also show the balance of any Policy Debt.

Illustrations. Upon request, we will provide you with a hypothetical illustration of future Account Value and Death Benefits. This illustration will be furnished to you for a fee not to exceed $25.

Misstatement of Age or Sex. If the age or sex (unless a unisex Policy) of the Insured is stated incorrectly in the Policy application, the amounts payable by us will be adjusted.

     Misstatement discovered at death-The Death Benefit will be recalculated to that which would be purchased by the most recently charged Monthly Cost of Insurance rate for the correct age or sex (unless a unisex Policy).

     Misstatement discovered prior to death-The Account Value will be recalculated from the Issue Date using the Monthly Cost of Insurance rates based on the correct age or sex (unless a unisex Policy).

Suicide. Unless state law otherwise requires, if the Insured, whether sane or insane, commits suicide within two years after the Issue Date, we will not pay any part of the Policy Proceeds. We will refund to you the greater of (a) or (b) where: (a) is the Cash Surrender Value and (b) is the premiums paid, minus the amount of any Policy Debt and minus any partial surrenders.

Incontestability. All statements made in the application or in a supplemental application are representations and not warranties. We will rely on these statements when approving the issuance, increase in total face amount, increase in Base Death Benefit over premium paid, or change in death benefit option of the Policy. No statement can be used by us in defense of a claim unless the statement was made in the application or in a supplemental application. In the absence of fraud, after a Policy has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for a period of two years from its Issue Date, we cannot contest it except for non-payment of premiums. However, any increase in the Total Face Amount which is effective after the Issue Date will be incontestable only after the increase has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the effective date of coverage of the increase. Any increase in Base Death Benefit over premium paid or increase in Base Death Benefit due to a death benefit option change will be incontestable only after such increase has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the date of the increase.

Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Investments. Shares of any or all of the Funds may not always be available for purchase by the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account or we may decide that further investment in any such shares is no longer appropriate. In either event, shares of other registered open-end investment companies or unit investment trusts may be substituted both for Fund shares already purchased by the Variable Account and/or as the security to be purchased in the future, provided that these substitutions have been approved by the SEC. In addition, the investment policies of the separate account will not be changed without the approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Delaware. We also reserve the right to eliminate or combine existing Sub-Accounts or to transfer assets between Sub-Accounts upon a Sub-Account elimination or combination. In the event of any substitution or other act described above, we may make appropriate amendment to the Policy to reflect the substitution.

Nonparticipating. The Policy does not pay dividends. The Policy does not share in our profits or surplus earnings.

Modification. Upon notice to you, we may modify the Policy if that modification-

-

 

-

 

-

-

is necessary to make the Policy, the Variable Account or the Fixed Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which we are subject;

is necessary to assure continued qualification of the Policy under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal or state laws as a life insurance policy;

is necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Variable Account or the Sub-Accounts; or

adds, deletes or otherwise changes Investment Options.

We also reserve the right to modify certain provisions of the Policy as stated in those provisions. In the event of any such modification, we may make appropriate amendment to the Policy to reflect the modification.

Entire Contract. Your entire contract with us consists of the Policy, the application(s), any riders, any endorsements and any other attachments. Any hypothetical illustrations prepared in connection with the Policy do not form a part of our contract with you and are intended solely to provide information about possible future performance, based solely upon data available at the time such illustrations are prepared.

 

Performance Information

From time to time, we may advertise total return and average annual total return of the Funds. This performance information, presented in sales literature, is based on historical earnings and is not intended to indicate future performance. Total return for a Portfolio refers to the total of the income generated by the Fund net of total operating expenses plus capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized, for the Fund. Total return of the Portfolio, net of Mortality & Expense Risk Charges, refers to the total of the income generated by the Fund net of total operating expenses plus capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized, for the Fund and net of the mortality and expense risk charge. Other charges, fees and expenses payable under the Policy are not deducted from the performance information. Average annual total return reflects the hypothetical annually compounded return that would have produced the same cumulative return if the Fund's or Sub-Account's performance had been constant over the entire period. Because average annual total returns tend to smooth out variations in the return of the Fund or Sub-Account, they are not the same as actual year-by-year results.

We may compare performance information in reports and promotional literature, to-

-

 

 

-

 

 

 

-

the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index or other unmanaged indices so that investors may compare the Sub-Account results with those of a group of unmanaged securities widely regarded by investors as representative of the securities markets in general;

other groups of variable life separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, a widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual funds and other investment products by overall performance, investment objectives, and assets, or tracked by other services, companies, publications, or persons, such as Morningstar, Inc., who rank such investment products on overall performance or other criteria; or

the Consumer Price Index (a measure for inflation) to assess the real rate of return from an investment in the Sub-Account.

Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs and expenses.

We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications or other materials information on various topics of interest to owners and prospective owners. Topics may include-

 

-

 

 

-

-

-

-

the relationship between sectors of the economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets, investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, market timing, dollar cost averaging, constant ratio transfer and account rebalancing);

the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-deferred and taxable investments;

customer profiles and hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios;

financial management and tax and retirement planning; and

investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and other financial instruments, including comparisons between the Policy and the characteristics of and market for such financial instruments.

The Policy was first offered to the public in 2004. We may, however, advertise return data based on the period of time that the Funds have been in existence. The results for any period prior to the time the Policy was first publicly offered will be calculated as if the Policy had been offered during that period of time.

 

Voting Rights

We will vote shares of the Funds held in the Variable Account in accordance with instructions received from policyowners having a voting interest in the corresponding Sub-Accounts, to the extent required by law. We will provide each policyowner who has a voting interest in a Sub-Account with the proxy materials of the corresponding Fund, together with an appropriate form for the policyowner to submit its voting instructions to us. We will vote shares for which we receive no timely instructions, together with shares not attributable to any Policy, in the same proportion as those shares held by the Sub-Account for which we receive instructions.

We will determine the number of shares for which you are entitled to provide voting instructions as of the record date established for the applicable Fund. This number is determined by dividing your Account Value in the Sub-Account, if any, by the net asset value of one share in the corresponding Fund.

We may, if required by state insurance regulators, disregard voting instructions if the instructions require shares to be voted to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of one or more of the Funds, or to approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract for a Fund. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions in favor of any change in the investment policies or in any investment adviser or principal underwriter of a Fund. Our disapproval of any such change must be reasonable and, in the case of change in investment policies or investment adviser, based on a good faith determination that the change would be contrary to state law or otherwise inappropriate in light of the objectives and purposes of the Fund. If we disregard voting instructions, we will include a summary of and the reasons for that action in our next periodic report to policyowners.

We reserve the right to vote shares held in the Variable Account in our own right, if permitted by applicable law.

 

Distribution of Policy

We will offer the Policy only in jurisdictions where the Policy may be lawfully sold. The Policy may be sold only by persons who are licensed insurance agents under applicable state law and who are licensed by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") to sell variable insurance contracts as a registered representative of a broker-dealer which has entered into a distribution agreements with us and our general distributor, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Clarendon is a registered broker-dealer and member of the NASD. Clarendon's principal business offices are located at One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481.

 

 

We may pay registered broker-dealers commissions in connection with sales of the Policy, and we may pay bonuses, as well as expense and training allowances. The maximum commission payable will be 40% of premium paid in the first Policy Year and 15% of premium paid in Policy Years two through seven. We may also pay a commission of-

-

up to 0.15% of Account Value for Policy Years one through twenty; and

   

-

up to 0.10% of Account Value thereafter.

We may also pay up to an additional 0.15% per annum to broker-dealers who provide additional services specifically requested or authorized by corporate purchasers.

 

Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of our understanding of current federal income tax laws and is not intended as tax advice. You should be aware that Congress has the power to enact legislation affecting the tax treatment of life insurance contracts which could be applied retroactively. New judicial or administrative interpretation of federal income tax law may also affect the tax treatment of life insurance contracts. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), is not in force in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Accordingly, some references in this summary will not apply to Policies issued in Puerto Rico. Any person contemplating the purchase of a Policy or any transaction involving a Policy should consult a qualified tax adviser. We do not make any representation or provide any guarantee regarding the federal, state or local tax treatment of any Policy or any transaction involving a Policy.

Our Tax Status

We are taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Code. Although we account for the operations of the Variable Account separately from our other operations for purposes of federal income taxation, the Variable Account currently is not separately taxable as a regulated investment company or other taxable entity.

Taxes we pay, or reserve for, that are attributable to the earnings of the Variable Account could affect the Net Investment Factor, which in turn affects your Account Value. Under existing federal income tax law, however, the income (consisting primarily of interest, dividends and net capital gains) of the Variable Account, to the extent applied to increase reserves under the Policy, is not taxable to us. Similarly, no state or local income taxes are currently attributable to the earnings of the Variable Account. Therefore, we do not take any federal, state or local taxes into account when determining the Net Investment Factor. We may take taxes into account when determining the Net Investment Factor in future years if, due to a change in law, our tax status or otherwise, such taxes are attributable to the earnings of the Variable Account.

Taxation of Policy Proceeds

Section 7702 of the Code provides certain tests for whether a policy will be treated as a "life insurance contract" for tax purposes. Provided that the policyowner of the Policy has an insurable interest in the Insured, we believe that the Policy meets these tests, and thus should receive the same federal income tax treatment as a fixed life insurance contract. As such, the Death Benefit under the Policy will generally be eligible for exclusion from the gross income of the beneficiary under Section 101 of the Code, and the policyowner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the increases in Cash Surrender Values, including additions attributable to interest, dividends, appreciation or gains realized upon transfers among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, until actual receipt thereof. However, you will be taxed on all of the accumulated income under the Policy on its maturity date and there can be no assurance than an election to extend the maturity date of the Policy will avoid that result. In addition, a corporate owner may be subject to alternative minimum tax on the annual increases in Cash Surrender Values and on the portion of the Death Benefit under the Policy that exceeds its Cash Surrender Value.

To qualify as a life insurance contract under Section 7702, the Policy must satisfy certain actuarial requirements. Section 7702 requires that actuarial calculations be based on mortality charges that meet the "reasonable mortality charge" requirements set forth in the Code, and other charges reasonably expected to be actually paid that are specified in the Policy. The law relating to reasonableness standards for mortality and other charges is based on statutory language and certain IRS pronouncements that do not address all relevant issues. Accordingly, although we believe that the mortality and other charges that are used in the calculations (including those used with respect to Policies issued to so-called "sub-standard risks") meet the applicable requirements, we cannot be certain. It is possible that future regulations will contain standards that would require us to modify the mortality and other charges used in the calculations, and we reserve the right to make any such modifications.

For a variable contract like the Policy to qualify as life insurance for federal income tax purposes, it also must comply with the investment diversification rules found in Section 817 of the Code. We believe that the Variable Account complies with the diversification requirements prescribed by Section 1.817-5 of the Treasury Regulations. We also believe that the policyowner does not have excessive control over the assets underlying the Policy that would cause the policyowner to be treated as owning the investments underlying the Policy for federal income tax purposes. If guidelines are adopted which would treat the policyowner as having excessive control over the investments underlying the Policy, we will take any action (including modification of the Policy or the Variable Account) necessary to comply with the guidelines.

The tax consequences of distributions from, and loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend on whether the Policy is classified as a Modified Endorsement Contract under Section 7702A of the Code. Due to the flexibility of the payment of premiums and other rights you have under the Policy, classification of the Policy as a Modified Endowment Contract will depend upon the individual operation of each Policy. A Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract if the aggregate amount paid under the Policy at any time during the first seven Policy Years exceeds the sum of the net level premiums that would have been paid on or before such time if the Policy provided for paid up future benefits after the payment of seven level annual premiums. If there is a reduction in benefits during the first seven Policy Years, the foregoing computation is made as if the Policy originally had been issued at the reduced benefit level. If there is a "material change" to the Policy, the seven year testing period for Modified Endowment Contract status is restarted. A life insurance contract received in exchange for a Modified Endowment Contract also will be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract.

We have undertaken measures to prevent payment of a premium from inadvertently causing the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract. In general, you should consult a qualified tax adviser before undertaking any transaction involving the Policy to determine whether such a transaction would cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.

If a Policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract, cash distributions from the Policy are treated first as a nontaxable return of the owner's "Investment in the Policy" and then as a distribution of the income earned under the Policy, which is subject to tax. (An exception to this general rule occurs when a cash distribution is made in connection with certain reductions in the death benefit under the Policy in the first fifteen contract years. Such a cash distribution is taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income.) Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a Modified Endowment Contract generally are treated as bona fide indebtedness, and thus are not included in the owner's gross income.

If a Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, distributions from the Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to the amount equal to the excess of the Account Value (which includes unpaid policy loans) immediately before the distribution over the Investment in the Policy. Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as well as due but unpaid interest thereon, are taxed in the same manner as distributions from the Policy. A 10 percent additional tax is imposed on the portion of any distribution from, or loan taken from or secured by, a Modified Endowment Contract that is included in income except when the distribution or loan is made on or after the owner attains age 59 1/2, is attributable to the policyowner's becoming disabled, or is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the policyowner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies ) of the policyowner and the policyowner's Beneficiary. These exceptions are not likely to apply where the Policy is not owned by an individual (or held in trust for an individual). For purposes of the computations described in this paragraph, all Modified Endowment Contracts issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same policyowner during any calendar year are treated as one Modified Endowment Contract.

There are substantial limits on the deductibility of policy loan interest. You should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding such deductions.

Upon the complete maturity, surrender or lapse of the Policy, the amount by which the sum of the Policy's Cash Surrender Value and any unpaid Policy Debt exceeds the policyowner's "Investment in the Policy" (as defined above) is treated as ordinary income subject to tax. Any loss incurred upon surrender generally is not deductible. Any corporation that is subject to the alternative minimum tax will also have to make a separate computation of the Investment in the Policy and the gain resulting from the maturity of the Policy, or a surrender or lapse of the Policy for purposes of that tax.

 

 

The term "Investment in the Policy" means-

-

-

 

-

the aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a Policy, minus

the aggregate amount received under the Policy which is excluded from the owner's gross income (other than loan amounts), plus

the amount of any loan from, or secured by, the Policy that is a Modified Endowment Contract (as defined below) to the extent that such amount is included in the policyowner's gross income.

The "Investment in the Policy" is increased by any unpaid Policy Debt on a Policy that is a Modified Endowment Contract in order to prevent double taxation of income. Since the Policy Debt was treated as a taxable distribution at the time the Policy Debt was incurred, the failure to increase the "Investment in the Policy" by the Policy Debt would cause such amount to be taxed again upon a Policy surrender or lapse.

The amount realized that is taken into account in computing the gain on the complete surrender or lapse of a Policy will include any unpaid Policy Debt on a Policy that is a Modified Endowment Contract even though that amount has already been treated as a taxable distribution.

If a Policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract, then the Investment in the Policy is not affected by the receipt of a loan from, or secured by a Policy.

Whether or not the Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, however, no payment of the principal of, or the interest due under, any loan from or secured by a Policy will affect the amount of the Investment in the Policy.

A policyowner generally will not recognize gain upon the exchange of the Policy for another life insurance policy issued by us or another insurance company, except to the extent that the policyowner receives cash in the exchange or is relieved of policy indebtedness as a result of the exchange. In no event will the gain recognized exceed the amount by which the Policy's Account Value (which includes unpaid policy loans) exceeds the policyowner's Investment in the Policy.

A transfer of the Policy, a change in the policyowner, a change in the beneficiary, certain other changes to the Policy and particular uses of the Policy (including use in a so called "split-dollar" arrangement) may have tax consequences depending upon the particular circumstances and should not be undertaken prior to consulting with a qualified tax adviser. For instance, if you transfer the Policy or designate a new policyowner in return for valuable consideration (or, in some cases, if the transferor is relieved of a liability as a result of the transfer), then the Death Benefit payable upon the death of the Insured may in certain circumstances be includible in your taxable income to the extent that the Death Benefit exceeds the prior consideration paid for the transfer and any premiums and other amounts paid later by the transferee. Further, in such a case, if the consideration received exceeds your Investment in the Policy, the difference will be taxed to you as ordinary income.

Federal, as well as state and local, estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy Proceeds will depend on your individual circumstances and those of the beneficiary.

Tax Return Disclosure

The Company believes that the purchase of a Policy is not currently subject to the tax return disclosure requirements of IRC Section 6011 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4. However, it is your responsibility, in consultation with your tax and legal counsel and advisers, to make your own determination as to the applicability of the disclosure requirements of IRC Section 6011 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 to your federal tax return.

The Company believes that the customer list requirements of IRC Section 6112 and Treasury Regulation Section 1.6112-1 are not currently applicable to such offerings and sales.

Under IRC Section 6111 and Temporary Treasury Regulation Section 301.6111, the Company is required to register with the IRS any offerings or sales of Policies that are considered tax shelters. The Company believes that registration would not be required under current regulations with respect to sales of the offering or sale of a Policy.

THE COMPANY AND THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

The Company is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware on January 12, 1970. Our executive office mailing address is One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. We do business in 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands and we have an insurance company subsidiary that does business in New York. We are an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("Sun Life (Canada)"). Sun Life (Canada) completed its demutualization on March 22, 2000. As a result of the demutualization, a new holding company, Sun Life Financial, Inc. ("Sun Life Financial"), is now the ultimate parent of Sun Life (Canada) and the Company. We issue individual and group life insurance policies and annuity contracts.

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account G was established in accordance with Delaware law on July 25, 1996 and is registered as a unit investment trust.

 

CUSTODIAN

We are the Custodian of the assets of the Variable Account. We will purchase Fund shares at net asset value in connection with amounts allocated to the Sub-Accounts in accordance with your instructions, and we will redeem Fund shares at net asset value for the purpose of meeting the contractual obligations of the Variable Account, paying charges relative to the Variable Account or making adjustments for reserves held in the Variable Account.

 

ACCOUNTANTS

Their office is located at [to be added by pre-effective amendment].

 

DISTRIBUTION AND UNDERWRITING OF THE POLICY

Policies, offered on a continuous basis, are sold by licensed insurance agents in those states where the Policy may be lawfully sold. Such agents will be registered representatives of broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and who have entered into distribution agreements with the Company and the general distributor and principal underwriter of the Policies, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. ("Clarendon"), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. Clarendon is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Clarendon is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Clarendon also acts as the general distributor of annuity contracts issued by the Company and its subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, and other variable life insurance policies issued by the Company. Clarendon retains no monies for its services rendered in the distribution and underwriting of the policies.

We may pay registered broker-dealers commissions in connection with sales of the Policy, and we may pay bonuses, as well as expense and training allowances. The maximum commission payable will be 40% of premium paid in the first Policy Year and 15% of premium paid in Policy Years two through seven. We may also pay a commission of-

o

o

up to 0.15% of Account Value for Policy Years one through twenty; and

up to 0.10% of Account Value thereafter.

We may also pay up to an additional 0.15% per annum to broker-dealers who provide additional services specifically requested or authorized by corporate purchasers.

 

THE POLICY

To apply for a Policy, you must submit an application to our Principal Office. We will then follow underwriting procedures designed to determine the insurability of the proposed Insured. We offer the Policy on a regular (or medical) underwriting, simplified underwriting, expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis. The proposed Insured generally must be less than 81 years old for a Policy to be issued. For Policies underwritten on a medical or simplified basis, we may require that the proposed Insured undergo one or more medical examinations and that you provide us with such additional information as we may deem necessary, before an application is approved. We will issue Policies on an expanded guaranteed issue or guaranteed issue basis with respect to certain groups of Insureds. Policies issued on such basis must be pre-approved based on information you provide to us on a master application and on certain other underwriting requirements which all members of a proposed group of Insureds must meet. Proposed Insureds must be acceptable risks based on our underwriting limits and standards. We will not issue a Policy until the underwriting process has been completed to our satisfaction. In addition, we reserve the right to reject an application that does not meet our underwriting requirements or to "rate" an Insured as a substandard risk, which will result in increased cost of insurance charges. The cost of insurance charges are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Table A (for males), Table B (for unisex) or Table G (for females).

Premium Expense Load. We deduct a load from each premium payment for state and federal tax obligations and as a sales load.

For Policy Years 1 through 7, the current Premium Expense Load will be no less than 5.0% and no greater than 9.0% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium and will be no less than 0.0% and no greater than 3.25% on premium paid in excess of Target Premium. For Policy Year 8 and thereafter, the current Premium Expense Load will be no less than 0.0% and no greater than 3.25% on all premium paid.

The Premium Expense Load for Policy Years 1 through 7 is guaranteed not to exceed 12.5% on each premium payment up to and including Target Premium and 5.5% on premium paid in excess of Target Premium. The Premium Expense Load for Policy Year 8 and thereafter is guaranteed not to exceed 3.25% on all premium payments.

Target Premium varies based on the Total Face Amount and the Insured's Issue Age and sex. We may reduce or waive the Premium Expense Load for certain group or sponsored arrangements and corporate purchasers.

Reduction of Charges. We reserve the right to reduce any of our charges and deductions in connection with the sale of the Policy if we expect that the sale may result in cost savings, subject to any requirements we may from time to time impose. We may change our requirements based on experience. We will determine the propriety and amount of any reduction. No reduction will be unfairly discriminatory against the interests of any class of policyowner. Additional information may be obtained by calling the Company at 1-888-594-2654.

Increase in Face Amount. You may request an increase in the Specified Face Amount. You must provide satisfactory evidence of the Insured's insurability. Once requested, an increase will become effective at the next monthly anniversary day following our approval of your request. The Policy does not allow for an increase if the Insured's Attained Age is greater than 80 on the effective date of the increase.

If there are increases in the Specified Face Amount other than increases caused by changes in the death benefit option, the cost of insurance charge is determined separately for the initial Specified Face Amount and each increase in the Specified Face Amount. In calculating the net amount at risk, your Account Value will first be allocated to the initial death benefit and then to each increase in the Specified Face Amount in the order in which the increases were made.

ITEM 28. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR THE REGISTRANT

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by the Registrant. The Registrant is a separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc., which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada.

The organization chart of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada is filed as Exhibit 13 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4 of Keyport Variable Account A, File Nos. 333-111634, 811-07543, filed December 31, 2003.

None of the companies listed in such Exhibit 13 is a subsidiary of the Registrant; therefore, the only financial statements being filed are those of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.).

ITEM 29. INDEMNIFICATION

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, Article 8 of the By-laws of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), as amended effective as of January 1, 2000 (a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 6(b) to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-4, File No. 333-30844) provides for the indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (U.S.) has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Sun Life (U.S.) of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, controlling person of Sun Life (U.S.) in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Sun Life (U.S.) will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Act, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 30. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS
