variable annuity contracts.  The Company owns the assets of the Separate Account
and  maintains  them apart from the assets of its general  account and its other
separate accounts. The assets held in the Separate Account equal to the reserves
and other Contract  liabilities  with respect to the Separate Account may not be
charged  with  liabilities  arising  from any other  business  the  Company  may
conduct.

Income and realized and unrealized  gains and losses from assets in the Separate
Account are credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account without regard

separate  accounts.  The Separate Account is divided into  Subaccounts  shown on

Subaccount are credited to, or charged against, the Subaccount without regard to

the right to:

2.  add, remove or combine Subaccounts;

3.  add, delete or make  substitutions for securities that are held or purchased
    by the Separate Account or any Subaccount;

4.  operate the Separate Account as a management investment company;

    the Company or an affiliate thereof;

6.  restrict or  eliminate  any voting  rights of the Owner with  respect to the
    Separate  Account or other persons who have voting rights as to the Separate
    Account; and

Subaccount,  the Company  will notify the Owner of the change.  The Company will

without  complying  with  the  filing  and  other  procedures  of the  insurance
regulators of the state of issue.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE CONTRACT

The entire Contract between the Owner and the Company consists of this Contract,
the attached  Application,  and any  Amendments,  Endorsements  or Riders to the
Contract.  All statements made in the Application will, in the absence of fraud,
as ruled by a court of competent jurisdiction, be deemed representations and not
warranties.  The Company will use no statement made by or on behalf of the Owner
or the Annuitant to void this Contract unless it is in the written  Application.
Any  change in the  Contract  can be made only with the  written  consent of the
President, a Vice President, or the Secretary of the Company.

The Purchase  Payment(s) and the  Application  must be acceptable to the Company
under its rules and practices. If they are not, the Company's liability shall be
limited to a return of the Purchase Payment(s).

COMPLIANCE

The  Company  reserves  the right to make any change to the  provisions  of this
Contract  to comply  with or give the Owner the  benefit of any federal or state
statute, rule or regulation.  This includes, but is not limited to, requirements
for annuity  contracts under the Internal Revenue Code or the laws of any state.
The Company  will provide the Owner with a copy of any such change and will also
file such a change with the insurance regulatory officials of the state in which
the Contract is delivered.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE AND SEX

If the  age or sex of the  Annuitant  has  been  misstated,  payments  shall  be
adjusted,  when allowed by law, to the amount which would have been provided for
the correct age or sex.  Proof of the age of an Annuitant may be required at any
time, in a form suitable to the Company.  If payments have already commenced and
the misstatement  has caused an  underpayment,  the full amount due will be paid
with the next scheduled payment.  If the misstatement has caused an overpayment,
the amount due will be deducted from one or more future payments.

EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL

When any payments under this Contract depend on the payee being alive on a given
date, proof that the payee is living may be required by the Company.  Such proof
must be in a form accepted by the Company,  and may be required  prior to making
the payments.

INCONTESTABILITY

This  Contract  will not be  contested  after it has been in force for two years
from the Issue Date during the life of the Owner.

ASSIGNMENT

Please refer to page 3 to see if this  Contract  may be  assigned.  If it may be
assigned,  no Assignment  under this Contract is binding unless  Received by the
Company in writing.  The Company  assumes no  responsibility  for the  validity,
legality, or tax status of any Assignment. The Assignment will be subject to any
payment  made or other  action  taken by the Company  before the  Assignment  is
Received by the  Company.  Once filed,  the rights of the Owner,  Annuitant  and
Beneficiary  are  subject  to the  Assignment.  Any claim is subject to proof of
interest of the assignee.

EXCHANGES

The Owner may Exchange  Contract  Value among the Fixed Account and  Subaccounts
subject to the following.

The Owner may make only six  Exchanges  per  Contract  Year.  Exchanges  are not
allowed within 30 days of the Annuity Payout Date.  Automatic  Exchanges are not
included in the six  Exchanges  allowed  per  Contract  Year.  After the Annuity
Payout Date,  for Annuity  Options 1 through 4, the Owner may Exchange  Contract
Value only among Subaccounts.

The Company  reserves  the right to: (1) limit the amount that may be subject to
Exchanges;  (2) limit the amount remaining in an account after an Exchange;  (3)
waive or limit the number of Exchanges  allowed each Contract  Year;  (4) impose
conditions on the right to Exchange;  and (5) suspend Exchanges.  Exchanges must
be at least $500 or, if less,  the  remaining  balance in the Fixed Account or a
Subaccount.

Contract  Value may be exchanged  from the Fixed  Account  only:  (1) during the
calendar  month  in which  the  applicable  Guarantee  Period  expires;  and (2)
pursuant to an Automatic  Exchange.  Exchanges of Fixed Account  Contract  Value
shall be made:  (1)  first  from  Fixed  Account  Contract  Value  for which the
Guarantee  Period  expires  during the  calendar  month in which the Exchange is
effected;  (2) then in the order that starts with Fixed Account  Contract  Value
which has the longest amount of time before its Guarantee  Period  expires;  and
(3) ends with  that  which has the least  amount of time  before  its  Guarantee
Period expires.

The Company  will effect an  Exchange  to or from a  Subaccount  on the basis of
Accumulation  Unit Value (or Annuity  Unit Value)  determined  at the end of the
Valuation  Period in which the Exchange is effected.  The Company will effect an
Exchange from the Fixed Account on the basis of Fixed Account  Contract Value at
the end of the Valuation Period in which the Exchange is effected.

The Company  reserves the right to delay Exchanges from the Fixed Account for up
to 6 months as required  by most  states.  The Company  will inform you if there
will be a delay.

CLAIMS OF CREDITORS

The Contract  Value and other  benefits  under this Contract are exempt from the
claims of creditors of the Owner to the extent allowed by law.

NONFORFEITURE VALUES

The Death  Benefits,  Withdrawal  Values and Annuity Payout Values will at least
equal the minimum required by law.

PARTICIPATION

The Company is a mutual life insurance company.  Therefore, it pays dividends on
some of its contracts.  However, the Company does not expect dividends to become
payable on this  Contract.  At the end of each  Contract  Year the Company  will
determine the Contract's dividend,  if any. The Owner may choose to have it: (1)
added to the  Contract  Value;  or (2) paid in cash.  If no choice is made,  any
dividend will be added to the Contract Value.

STATEMENTS

At least once each Contract  Year the Owner shall be sent a statement  including
the current Contract Value and any other information  required by law. The Owner
may send a written request for a statement at other  intervals.  The Company may
charge a reasonable fee for such statements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OWNERSHIP, ANNUITANT AND BENEFICIARY PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OWNERSHIP

During the Owner's lifetime, all rights and privileges under the Contract may be
exercised only by the Owner.  If the purchaser  names someone other than himself
or herself as Owner,  the purchaser has no rights in the Contract.  No Owner may
be older than age 85 on the Contract Date.

JOINT OWNERSHIP

If a Joint  Owner is named in the  application,  then the Owner and Joint  Owner
share an undivided  interest in the entire Contract as joint tenants with rights
of survivorship. When an Owner and Joint Owner have been named, the Company will
honor only requests for changes and the exercise of other Ownership  rights made
by both the Owner and Joint Owner.  When a Joint Owner is named,  all references
to "Owner"  throughout  this Contract should be construed to mean both the Owner
and Joint Owner, except for the "Statements"  provision on page 8 and the "Death
Benefit Provisions" on pages 14 and 15.

ANNUITANT

The  Annuitant is named on page 3. The Owner may change the  Annuitant  prior to
the Annuity Payout Date. The request for this change must be made in writing and
Received by the Company at least 30 days prior to the Annuity  Payout  Date.  No
Annuitant may be named who is more than 85 years old on the Contract Date.  When
the Annuitant  dies prior to the Annuity  Payout Date, the Owner must name a new
Annuitant within 30 days or, if sooner, by the Annuity Payout Date, except where
the Owner is a Nonnatural  Person.  If a new  Annuitant is not named,  the Owner
becomes the Annuitant.

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY BENEFICIARIES

The Primary  Beneficiary and any Secondary  Beneficiary are named on page 3. The
Owner may change any  Beneficiary  as described in  "Ownership  and  Beneficiary
Changes"  below.  If the  Primary  Beneficiary  dies  prior  to the  Owner,  the
Secondary Beneficiary becomes the Primary Beneficiary.  Unless the Owner directs
otherwise,  when there are two or more Primary Beneficiaries,  they will receive
equal shares.

OWNERSHIP AND BENEFICIARY CHANGES

Subject to the terms of any existing Assignment, the Owner may name a new Owner,
a new Primary  Beneficiary  or a new  Secondary  Beneficiary.  Any new choice of
Owner,  Primary  Beneficiary  or  Secondary  Beneficiary  will  revoke any prior
choice.  Any change must be made in writing and recorded at the Home Office. The
change  will  become  effective  as of the date the  written  request is signed,
whether  or not the Owner is living at the time the  change is  recorded.  A new
choice of Primary  Beneficiary  or Secondary  Beneficiary  will not apply to any
payment made or action taken by the Company  prior to the time it was  recorded.
The Company may require the Contract be returned so these changes may be made.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PURCHASE PAYMENT PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLEXIBLE PURCHASE PAYMENTS

The Contract becomes in force when the initial Purchase Payment is applied.  The
Owner is not required to continue  Purchase  Payments in the amount or frequency
originally  planned.  The Owner may:  (1)  increase  or  decrease  the amount of
Purchase  Payments,  subject to any Contract or  administrative  limits;  or (2)
change the  frequency of Purchase  Payments.  A change in frequency or amount of
Purchase Payments does not require a written request.

may change the allocations by written notice to the Company.

PLACE OF PAYMENT

All Purchase  Payments  under this Contract are to be paid to the Company at its
Home Office.  Purchase  Payments after the first Purchase Payment are applied as

CONTRACT VALUE AND EXPENSE PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

after the first  Contract Year and before the Annuity  Payout Date,  the Company
reserves the right to pay to the Owner the Contract Value as a lump sum if it is
below $2,000.

FIXED ACCOUNT CONTRACT VALUE

On any Valuation  Date,  the Fixed Account  Contract Value is equal to the first
Purchase Payment allocated under the Contract to the Fixed Account:

PLUS:

1.  any  other  Purchase  Payments  allocated  under the  Contract  to the Fixed
    Account;

2.  any Exchanges from the Separate Account to the Fixed Account; and

3.  any interest credited to the Fixed Account.

LESS:

1.  any Withdrawals deducted from the Fixed Account;

2.  any Exchanges from the Fixed Account to the Separate Account;

3.  any applicable Premium Taxes;

4.  any Fixed Account  Contract Value which is applied to any of Annuity Options
    1 through 4; and

5.  any Annuity Payments made under Annuity Options 5 through 7.

FIXED ACCOUNT INTEREST CREDITING

The Company shall credit  interest on Fixed Account  Contract Value at an annual
rate at least equal to the  Guaranteed  Rate shown on page 3. Also,  the Company
may in its sole  judgment  credit  Current  Interest  at a rate in excess of the
Guaranteed  Rate.  The rate of Current  Interest,  if  declared,  shall be fixed
during the Guarantee  Period.  Fixed Account  Contract  Value shall earn Current
Interest  during  each  Guarantee  Period at the rate,  if any,  declared by the
Company on the first day of the Guarantee Period.

The Company may credit Current  Interest on Contract Value that was allocated or
exchanged  to the Fixed  Account  during  one  period at a  different  rate than
amounts allocated or exchanged to the Fixed Account in another period. Also, the
Company may credit Current Interest on Fixed Account Contract Value at different
rates based upon the length of the  Guarantee  Period.  Therefore,  at any time,
portions of Fixed  Account  Contract  Value may be earning  Current  Interest at
different  rates based upon the period during which such portions were allocated
or exchanged to the Fixed Account and the length of the Guarantee Period.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CONTRACT VALUE

On any Valuation  Date,  the Separate  Account  Contract Value is the sum of the
then current value of the  Accumulation  Units  allocated to each Subaccount for
this Contract.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

The initial  Accumulation  Unit Value for each  Subaccount was set at $10. Other
Accumulation Unit Values are found on each Valuation Date by dividing (1) by (2)
where:

1.  is equal to:

    a.  the  Subaccount  Net Asset  Value  determined  at the end of the current
        Valuation Period; plus

    b.  any dividends  declared by the Subaccount's  underlying mutual fund that
        are not part of the Subaccount Net Asset Value; less

    c.  the accrued Mortality and Expense Risk Charge; and

    d.  any taxes for which the Company has reserved  which the Company deems to
        have resulted from the operation of the Subaccount.

2.  is the number of Accumulation Units at the start of the Valuation Period.

The  Accumulation  Unit Value may increase or decrease from one Valuation Period
to the next.

DETERMINING ACCUMULATION UNITS

The number of Accumulation  Units allocated to a Subaccount  under this Contract
is found by dividing:  (1) the amount  allocated to the  Subaccount;  by (2) the
Accumulation  Unit Value for the  Subaccount at the end of the Valuation  Period
during  which  the  amount  is  applied  under  the  Contract.   The  number  of
Accumulation  Units allocated to a Subaccount under the Contract will not change
as a  result  of  investment  experience.  Events  that  change  the  number  of
Accumulation Units are:

1.  Purchase Payments that are applied to the Subaccount;

2.  Contract Value that is Exchanged into or out of the Subaccount;

3.  Withdrawals that are deducted from the Subaccount; and

4.  Premium Taxes that are deducted from the Subaccount.

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

The Company will deduct the  Mortality  and Expense Risk Charge shown on page 3.
This charge will be computed and deducted from each Subaccount on each Valuation
Date. This charge is factored into the Accumulation Unit and Annuity Unit Values
on each Valuation Date.

PREMIUM TAX EXPENSE

The  Company  reserves  the  right to  deduct  Premium  Tax when due or any time
thereafter.  Any applicable Premium Taxes will be allocated as described on page
3.

MUTUAL FUND EXPENSES

Each  Subaccount  invests in shares of a mutual  fund.  The net asset  value per
share of each underlying fund reflects the deduction of any investment  advisory
and administration  fees and other expenses of the fund. These fees and expenses
are not deducted from the assets of a Subaccount, but are paid by the underlying
funds. The Owner indirectly bears a pro rata share of such fees and expenses. An
underlying  fund's fees and expenses are not  specified or fixed under the terms
of this Contract.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITHDRAWALS

A full  Withdrawal  of the  Contract  Value or partial  Withdrawal  of  Separate
Account  Contract  Value is allowed at any time.  Partial  Withdrawals  of Fixed
Account  Contract  Value are,  however,  restricted  as  described  below.  This
provision is subject to any federal or state Withdrawal restrictions.

A partial  Withdrawal  of Fixed  Account  Contract  Value may be made only:  (1)
pursuant to Systematic  Withdrawals;  (2) during the calendar month in which the
applicable Guarantee Period expires; and (3) once per Contract Year in an amount
up to the greater of $5,000 or 10 percent of the Fixed Account Contract Value at
the time of the partial Withdrawal.

Upon  the  Owner's  request  for a full  Withdrawal,  the  Company  will pay the
Withdrawal Value in a lump sum.

All Withdrawals must meet the following conditions.

1.  The  request  for  Withdrawal  must be Received by the Company in writing or
    under other methods allowed by the Company.

2.  The Owner must apply:  (a) while this Contract is in force; and (b) prior to
    the Annuity Payout Date.

3.  The  amount  Withdrawn  must  be at  least  $500.00  except  for  Systematic
    Withdrawals, as discussed below, or when terminating the Contract.

A partial  Withdrawal  request  must state the  allocations  for  deducting  the
Withdrawal from each Account.  Withdrawals of Fixed Account Contract Value shall
be made:  (1) first from Fixed  Account  Contract  Value for which the Guarantee
Period  expires  during the calendar  month in which the Withdrawal is effected;
(2) then in the order that starts with Fixed  Account  Contract  Value which has
the longest  amount of time before its Guarantee  Period  expires;  and (3) ends
with that  which  has the  least  amount of time  before  its  Guarantee  Period
expires.

WITHDRAWAL VALUE

The Withdrawal  Value at any time will be: (1) the Contract Value;  less (2) any
Premium Taxes due or paid by the Company.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS

Systematic Withdrawals are automatic periodic distributions from the Contract in
substantially  equal amounts prior to the Annuity Payout Date. In order to start
Systematic Withdrawals,  the Owner must make the request in writing. The Minimum
Systematic  Withdrawal  is shown on page 3. The Owner  must  choose  the type of
payment and its frequency. The payment type may be: (1) a percentage of Contract
Value; (2) a specified dollar amount;  (3) all earnings in the Contract;  or (4)
based upon the life expectancy of the Owner or the Owner and a Beneficiary.  The
payment frequency may be: (1) monthly; (2) quarterly;  (3) semiannually;  or (4)
annually.  Systematic  Withdrawals of Fixed Account  Contract Value must provide
for payments  over a period of not less than 36 months.  Systematic  Withdrawals
may be stopped by the Owner upon proper written request  Received by the Company
at least 30 days in advance.  The Company reserves the right to stop,  modify or
suspend Systematic Withdrawals.

DATE OF REQUEST

The Company will effect a Withdrawal of Separate  Account  Contract Value on the
basis of Accumulation  Unit Value  determined at the end of the Valuation Period
in which all the required information is Received by the Company.

PAYMENT OF WITHDRAWAL BENEFITS

The Company  reserves  the right to suspend an  Exchange  or delay  payment of a
Withdrawal from the Separate Account for any period:

1.  when the New York Stock Exchange is closed; or

2.  when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; or

3.  when an emergency  exists as a result of which:  (a) disposal of  securities
    held in the Separate Account is not reasonably practicable; or (b) it is not
    reasonably  practicable  to  fairly  value the net  assets  of the  Separate
    Account; or

4.  during any other  period when the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  by
    order, so permits to protect owners of securities.

Rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission will govern as
to whether the conditions set forth above exist.

The Company further reserves the right to delay payment of a Withdrawal from the
Fixed Account for up to six months as required by most states.  The Company will
notify you if there will be a delay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEATH BENEFIT

If any Owner dies prior to the Annuity Payout Date, a Death Benefit will be paid
to the Designated Beneficiary when due Proof of Death and instructions regarding
payment are Received by the Company.  If an Owner is a Nonnatural  Person,  then
the Death Benefit will be paid in the event of the death of the Annuitant or any
joint Owner that is a natural person prior to the Annuity Payout Date.  Further,
if an Owner is a Nonnatural  Person, the amount of the death benefit is based on
the age of the  Annuitant  or any joint  Owner  that is a natural  person on the
Issue Date.

If the age of each Owner was 75 or younger on the Issue Date,  the Death Benefit
will be the greatest of: (1) the sum of all Purchase Payments,  less any Premium
Taxes due or paid by the Company  and less the sum of all  partial  Withdrawals;
(2) the Contract Value on the date due Proof of Death and instructions regarding
payment are Received by the Company,  less any Premium  Taxes due or paid by the
Company; or (3) the Stepped-Up Death Benefit below.

The Stepped-Up Death Benefit is:

1.  the largest Death Benefit on any Contract  Anniversary that is both an exact
    multiple of five and occurs prior to the oldest Owner reaching age 76; plus

2.  any  Purchase   Payments   received  since  the  applicable  fifth  Contract
    Anniversary; less

3.  any  reductions  caused by Withdrawals  since the applicable  fifth Contract
    Anniversary; less

4.  any Premium Taxes due or paid by the Company.

If the age of any Owner on the Issue  Date was 76 or  older,  the Death  Benefit
will be: (1) the Contract Value on the date due Proof of Death and  instructions
regarding payment are Received by the Company; less (2) any Premium Taxes due or
paid by the Company.

If a lump sum payment is requested,  the payment will be made in accordance with
any laws and regulations that govern the payment of Death Benefits.

The value of the Death  Benefit is  determined as of the date that both Proof of
Death and  instructions  regarding  payment are  Received by the Company in good
order.

PROOF OF DEATH

Any of the following will serve as Proof of Death:

1.  certified copy of the death certificate;

2.  certified  decree of a court of competent  jurisdiction as to the finding of
    death;

3.  written statement by a medical doctor who attended the deceased Owner; or

4.  any proof accepted by the Company.

DISTRIBUTION RULES

The entire Death  Benefit  with any interest  shall be paid within 5 years after
the  death of any  Owner,  except  as  provided  below.  In the  event  that the
Designated  Beneficiary  elects an  Annuity  Option,  the length of time for the
payment period may be longer than 5 years if: (1) the Designated  Beneficiary is
a natural  person;  (2) the Death  Benefit is paid out under  Annuity  Options 1
through 7; (3)  payments are made over a period that does not exceed the life or
life expectancy of the Designated  Beneficiary;  and (4) Annuity  Payments begin
within one year of the death of the Owner. If the deceased Owner's spouse is the
sole  Designated  Beneficiary,  the  spouse  shall  become the sole Owner of the
Contract.  He or she may  elect to:  (1) keep the  Contract  in force  until the
sooner of the  spouse's  death or the Annuity  Payout  Date;  or (2) receive the
Death Benefit.

If any Owner dies after the Annuity Payout Date, Annuity Payments shall continue
to be paid at least as rapidly  as under the method of payment  being used as of
the date of the Owner's death.

If the Owner is a  Nonnatural  Person,  the  distribution  rules set forth above
apply in the event of the death of, or a change in, the Annuitant. This Contract
is deemed to incorporate any provision of Section 72(s) of the Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any successor provision. This Contract
is also deemed to incorporate any other  provision of the Code deemed  necessary
by the Company,  in its sole  judgment,  to qualify this Contract as an annuity.
The application of the  distribution  rules will be made in accordance with Code
section 72(s), or any successor provision,  as interpreted by the Company in its
sole judgment.

The  foregoing  distribution  rules do not apply to a  Contract  which  is:  (1)
provided  under a plan described in Code section  401(a);  (2) described in Code
section  403(b);  (3) an  individual  retirement  annuity or  provided  under an
individual  retirement account or annuity; or (4) otherwise exempt from the Code
section 72(s) distribution rules.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNUITY PAYMENT PROVISIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANNUITY PAYOUT DATE

The Owner may choose the Annuity Payout Date at the time of  application.  If no
Annuity Payout Date is chosen, the Company will use the later of: (1) the oldest
Annuitant's  seventieth  birthday;  or (2) the tenth Contract  Anniversary.  The
Annuity Payout Date must be prior to the oldest Annuitant's ninetieth birthday.

The  Annuity  Payout  Date is the date  the  first  payment  will be made to the
Annuitant under any of the Annuity Options.

CHANGE OF ANNUITY PAYOUT DATE

The Owner may change the Annuity  Payout  Date. A request for the change must be
made in writing. The written request must be Received by the Company at least 30
days  prior  to the new  Annuity  Payout  Date as well as 30 days  prior  to the
previous Annuity Payout Date.

ANNUITY PAYOUT AMOUNT

The  Annuity  Payout  Amount is  applied to one or more of the  Annuity  Options
listed on pages 18 and 19. The Annuity  Payout Amount is: (1) the Contract Value
on the  Annuity  Payout  Date;  less (2) any  Premium  Taxes  due or paid by the
Company.  Unless otherwise directed by the Owner,  Annuity Payout Amount derived
from Fixed  Account  Contract  Value will be applied to purchase a Fixed Annuity
Option;  that derived from Separate  Account  Contract  Value will be applied to
purchase a Variable Annuity Option.

ANNUITY TABLES

The Annuity Tables show the guaranteed minimum amount of monthly Annuity Payment
that  applies to the first  payment for  Variable  Annuity  Payments and to each
payment for Fixed Annuity  Payments for each $1,000 of Annuity Payout Amount for
each of  Annuity  Options 1 through 4. The amount of each  Annuity  Payment  for
Annuity  Options 1 through 4 will depend on the  Annuitant's  sex and age on the
Annuity  Payout Date.  The Annuity Tables state values for the exact ages shown.
The  values  will be  interpolated  based on the  Annuitant's  exact  age on the
Annuity  Payout Date.  On request the Company will furnish the amount of monthly
Annuity Payment per $1,000 applied for any ages not shown.

The Company  bases the Tables for  Annuity  Options 1 through 4 on: (1) the 1983
Table "A" Mortality Table projected for mortality improvement for 45 years using
Projection Scale G; and (2) an interest rate of 3 1/2% a year.

For  Annuity  Options  5  through  7,  age and sex are not  considered.  Annuity
Payments for these options are computed without reference to the Annuity Tables.

ANNUITY PAYMENTS

The Annuity  Option is shown on page 3. The Owner may choose any form of Annuity
Option that is allowed by the Company. The Owner may choose an Annuity Option by
written  request.  This request must be Received by the Company at least 30 days
prior to the Annuity Payout Date. Several Annuity Options are listed on pages 18
and 19. No Annuity  Option can be  selected  that  requires  the Company to make
periodic payments of less than $100.00.  If no Annuity Option is chosen prior to
the Annuity  Payout Date,  the Company  will use Life with 10-Year  Fixed Period
Option.  Each  Annuity  Option  allows for  making  Annuity  Payments  annually,
semiannually, quarterly or monthly.

CHANGE OF ANNUITY OPTION

Prior to the  Annuity  Payout  Date,  the Owner may  change the  Annuity  Option
chosen.  The Owner must  request the change in  writing.  This  request  must be
Received by the Company at least 30 days prior to the Annuity Payout Date.

FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS

With respect to Fixed Annuity Payments,  the amounts shown on the Tables are the
guaranteed minimum for each Annuity Payment for Annuity Options 1 through 4.

VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS

With respect to Variable Annuity  Payments,  the amounts shown on the Tables are
the first  Annuity  Payment,  based on the assumed  interest  rate of 3 1/2% for
Annuity  Options 1 through 4. The amount of each Annuity Payment after the first
for these options is computed by means of Annuity Units.

ANNUITY UNITS

The number of Annuity  Units is found by dividing the first  Annuity  Payment by
the Annuity Unit Value for the selected  Subaccount on the Annuity  Payout Date.
The number of Annuity Units for the Subaccount then remains constant,  unless an
Exchange of Annuity Units is made. After the first Annuity  Payment,  the dollar
amount of each  subsequent  Annuity  Payment  is equal to the  number of Annuity
Units times the  Annuity  Unit Value for the  Subaccount  on the due date of the
Annuity Payment.

The Annuity Unit Value for each  Subaccount was first set at $1.00.  The Annuity
Unit  Value for any  subsequent  Valuation  Date is equal to (a) times (b) times
(c), where:

(a)  is the Annuity Unit Value on the immediately preceding Valuation Date;

(b)  is the Net Investment Factor for the day;

(c)  is a factor used to adjust for an assumed  interest rate of 3 1/2% per year
     used to determine the Annuity Payment amounts. The assumed interest rate is
     reflected in the Annuity Tables.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

The Net Investment  Factor for any Subaccount at the end of any Valuation Period
is found by dividing (1) by (2) and subtracting (3) from the result, where:

1.  is equal to:

    a.  the net asset value per share of the mutual fund held in the Subaccount,
        found at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus

    b.  the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain  distributions paid
        by the Subaccount's  underlying  mutual fund that is not included in the
        net asset value per share; plus or minus

    c.  a per share  charge or credit  for any  taxes  reserved  for,  which the
        Company deems to have resulted from the operation of the Subaccount.

2.  is the net asset value per share of the Subaccount's  underlying mutual fund
    as found at the end of the prior Valuation Period.

3.  is a factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge deducted from
    the Separate Account.

Underlying  mutual  funds may  declare  dividends  on a daily basis and pay such
dividends  once a  month.  The Net  Investment  Factor  allows  for the  monthly
reinvestment of these daily dividends.  As described above, the gains and losses
from each  Subaccount  are credited or charged  against the  Subaccount  without
regard to the gains or losses in the Company or other Subaccounts.

ALTERNATE ANNUITY OPTION RATES

The  Company  may,  at the time of  election  of an Annuity  Option,  offer more
favorable rates in lieu of the guaranteed rates shown in the Annuity Tables.

ANNUITY OPTIONS

OPTION 1

LIFE OPTION: This option provides payments for the life of the Annuitant.  Table
A shows some of the guaranteed rates for this option.

OPTION 2

LIFE WITH FIXED PERIOD OPTION: This option provides payments for the life of the
Annuitant. A fixed period of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years may be chosen.  Payments will
be made to the end of this period even if the Annuitant dies prior to the end of
the period.  If the Annuitant dies before  receiving all the payments during the
fixed period, the remaining payments will be made to the Designated Beneficiary.
Table A shows some of the guaranteed rates for this option.

OPTION 3

LIFE WITH INSTALLMENT OR UNIT REFUND OPTION:  This option provides  payments for
the life of the  Annuitant,  with a period  certain  determined  by dividing the
Annuity  Payout  Amount by the amount of the first  payment.  A fixed  number of
payments will be made even if the Annuitant  dies. If the Annuitant  dies before
receiving the fixed number of payments,  any remaining  payments will be made to
the Designated Beneficiary.  Table A shows some of the guaranteed rates for this
option.

OPTION 4

JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR  OPTION:  This option provides  payments for the life of
the  Annuitant and Joint  Annuitant.  Payments will be made as long as either is
living. Table B shows some of the guaranteed rates for this option.

OPTION 5

FIXED PERIOD OPTION:  This option provides  payments for a fixed number of years
between 5 and 20. If the Contract Value is held in the Fixed  Account,  then the
amount of the payments  will vary as a result of the interest  rate (as adjusted
periodically)  credited on the Fixed  Account.  This rate is guaranteed to be no
less than the Guaranteed  Rate shown on page 3. If the Contract Value is held in
the Separate  Account,  then the amount of the payments will vary as a result of
the investment  performance of the Subaccounts chosen. If all the Annuitants die
before  receiving the fixed number of payments,  any remaining  payments will be
made to the Designated Beneficiary.

OPTION 6

FIXED PAYMENT OPTION:  This option provides a fixed payment amount.  This amount
is paid until the amount applied, including daily interest adjustments, is paid.
If the Contract Value is held in the Fixed Account,  then the number of payments
will vary as a result of the interest rate (as adjusted  periodically)  credited
on the Fixed Account.  This rate is guaranteed to be no less than the Guaranteed
Rate shown on page 3. If the  Contract  Value is held in the  Separate  Account,
then the number of payments will vary as a result of the investment  performance
of the Subaccounts  chosen.  If all the Annuitants die before  receiving all the
payments, any remaining payments will be made to the Designated Beneficiary.

OPTION 7 AGE RECALCULATION  OPTION: This option provides for payments based upon
the Annuitant's life expectancy, or the joint life expectancies of the Annuitant
and a  beneficiary,  at  the  Annuitant's  attained  age  (and  the  Annuitant's
beneficiary's  attained or adjusted age, if applicable)  each year. The payments
are  computed by  reference  to  actuarial  tables  prescribed  by the  Treasury
Secretary.  Payments  are made until the amount  applied  is  exhausted.  If the
Contract  Value is held in the Fixed  Account,  then the number of payments will
vary as a result of the interest rate (as adjusted periodically) credited on the
Fixed Account.  This rate is guaranteed to be not less than the Guaranteed  Rate
shown on page 3. If the Contract Value is held in the Separate Account, then the
number of payments will vary as a result of the  investment  performance  of the
Subaccounts  chosen.  If all the Annuitants  die before  receiving the remaining
payments, such payments will be made to the Designated Beneficiary.
