the Separate Account and the Fixed Account subject to any minimum allocation
amounts established by the Company. The initial Premium Payment will be
allocated as specified in Your application. The same allocations will be made
for each subsequent payment unless You change the allocations by Written Request
or, at the time of a Premium Payment, You instruct Us to allocate that payment
differently.

SECTION 5 -CONTRACT VALUE

CONTRACT VALUE

The Contract Value at any time is the sum of the Fixed Account Value and the
Separate Account Value.

Unless You indicate otherwise, amounts withdrawn from the Contract Value by You
and charges described in this Contract will be deducted from the Fixed Account
and the Subaccounts based on the proportion that the values of the Fixed Account
and the Subaccounts bear to the Contract Value.

All values and benefits are equal to or more than those required by law. The
official responsible for supervising insurance in the state where the Contract
is delivered has a detailed summary of the method We use to determine values.

FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE

The Fixed Account Value is equal to:

(1) the Net Premium Payments allocated to the Fixed Account, PLUS
(2) amounts transferred to the Fixed Account, PLUS
(3) interest credited to the Fixed Account, MINUS
(4) any partial withdrawals or transfers from the Fixed Account, MINUS
(5) any Withdrawal Charges, Contract Fees or premium taxes deducted
from the Fixed Account.

The Company will credit interest to the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Minimum
Interest Rate is the rate shown on Page 3, compounded annually. The Company, at
its discretion, may credit interest rates greater than the Fixed Account Minimum
Interest Rate.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE

The Separate Account Value is equal to the sum of the values in all the
Subaccounts of the Separate Account, each of which is, prior to the Annuity
Start Date, equal to:

(1) Net Premium Payments allocated to that Subaccount, PLUS
(2) any amount transferred to that Subaccount, PLUS
(3) any interest income, dividends, capital gains, realized or
unrealized, in that Subaccount, MINUS
(4) any partial withdrawals or transfers of amounts from the Subaccount
(including any applicable transfer charges), MINUS
(5) any Withdrawal Charges, Contract Fees or premium taxes deducted
from that Subaccount, MINUS
(6) realized or unrealized net capital losses in that Subaccount.

CONTRACT FEE

We charge a fee for establishing and maintaining Our records for this Contract.
The charge is $7.50 per quarter and is deducted from the Contract Value at the
end of each three-month period measured from the Date of Issue or, if earlier,
on the date of a full withdrawal. This charge does not apply after a Payout Plan
has begun.

7-VSTAR-01

PREMIUM TAX CHARGES

A charge will be made by Us against the Contract Value of this Contract at the
time any premium taxes not previously deducted are payable.

TRANSFERS OF CONTRACT VALUES

While this Contract is in force prior to the Annuity Start Date, You may
transfer, by Written Request, Contract Values from one or more of the
Subaccounts to another one or more of the Subaccounts or to the Fixed Account.
You may make 12 such transfer requests per Contract Year without charge. A
charge of $25.00 will be imposed for each transfer request in excess of 12. The
transfer fee, if any, will be deducted from the Subaccount(s) from which the
transfer is made. If a transfer is made for more than one Subaccount at the same
time, the transfer fee will be deducted pro rata from the remaining Separate
Account Values in such Subaccounts. We reserve the right to waive the transfer
fee. While this Contract is in force prior to the Annuity Start Date, You may
transfer up to 20% of the Fixed Account Value (as determined at the beginning of
the Contract Year) from the Fixed Account to one or more of the Subaccounts in
any Contract Year. There is no charge for transfers from the Fixed Account to
one or more of the Subaccounts. Amounts transferred under the Interest Sweep
provision are included in the maximum amount which can be transferred from the
Fixed Account in any Contract Year. The transfer privileges may be suspended or
modified by Us at any time.

After annuity payments have begun, You may exchange annuity units from one or
more of the Subaccounts for equivalent annuity units of one or more of the
Subaccounts once each Contract Year. There is no charge for this exchange.

The Company will accept transfer requests in writing, or in those states that
allow them, over the telephone. We will use reasonable procedures to confirm
that telephone instructions are genuine and will not be liable for following
telephone instruction that we reasonably determined to be genuine. The Company
may withdraw the telephone exchange privilege upon 30 days written notice to
contract owners. Amounts deducted from the Fixed Account for charges,
withdrawals and transfers to the Subaccounts, for the purpose of crediting
interest are accounted for on a last in, first out basis.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING

Before the Annuity Start Date, You may elect to have an amount You specify
automatically transferred from one or more Subaccounts or the Fixed Account to
any other Subaccounts. Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will be made on a monthly
or quarterly basis. The amount transferred must be at least $100. There is no
charge for dollar cost averaging transfers.

Amounts withdrawn from the Fixed Account due to dollar cost averaging are not
counted toward the 20% of Fixed Account Value that may be transferred out of the
Fixed Account during any Contract Year.

Once you elect the DCA program, it remains in effect for the life of the
contract until the value designated in the Fixed Account or Subaccount is
expended or until you cancel the program.

8-VSTAR-01

ENHANCED MONTHLY DOLLAR COST AVERAGING

The Enhanced DCA provision permits you to systematically transfer a specified
percentage of your money from the Enhanced DCA account to one or more of the
Subaccounts.

6 MONTH PLAN

You must allocate your initial premium payment to the Enhanced DCA account. We
will credit a guaranteed rate of interest on the balance of the assets remaining
in the account for a 6 month period beginning on the date of issue of the
contract. Premium payments over $500,000 will require our approval. Dollar cost
averaging transfers may only be made into the Subaccounts you select. This
Enhanced DCA provision allows you to earn a higher rate of interest than you
would normally earn on assets placed in the standard Fixed Account during the
comparable period.

Transfers will occur each month over the 6 month period with the final transfer
including all amounts remaining in the Enhanced DCA Account.

We will process transfers under this feature until either the amounts in the
Enhanced DCA account are exhausted, or You instruct us in writing to stop
transfers. If You stop transfers under this feature, You will no longer receive
the higher Enhanced DCA interest rate.

Unless You instruct us otherwise, when we receive your written notice to
discontinue transfers under this Enhanced DCA provision, we will automatically
transfer the amount remaining under the Enhanced DCA to the standard Fixed
Account. If you cancel your Contract during the free-look period, we will credit
the standard Fixed Account rate to any amounts you allocated to the Enhanced DCA
account.

You may have only one Enhanced DCA account in place at one time.

Transfers under the Enhanced DCA account do not count towards the twelve
transfers we allow each year without charge.

INTEREST SWEEP

Before the Annuity Start Date, You may elect to have any interest credited to
the Fixed Account automatically transferred to one or more Subaccounts at the
beginning of each calendar quarter. Amounts transferred out of the Fixed Account
due to an interest sweep transfer are counted toward the 20% of Fixed Account
Value that may be transferred out of the Fixed Account during any Contract Year.

AUTOMATIC ACCOUNT BALANCING

Before the Annuity Start Date, You may elect automatic account balancing. If You
select this option, on the first Business Day of a calendar month or calendar
quarter, We will automatically balance Your Subaccounts to match Your premium
allocation percentages. There is no charge for automatic account balancing.

9-VSTAR-01 (6 MONTH PLAN)

ENHANCED MONTHLY DOLLAR COST AVERAGING

The Enhanced DCA provision permits you to systematically transfer a specified
percentage of your money from the Enhanced DCA account to one or more of the
Subaccounts.

8 MONTH PLAN

will credit a guaranteed rate of interest on the balance of the assets remaining
in the account for an 8 month period beginning on the date of issue of the
contract. Premium payments over $500,000 will require our approval. Dollar cost
averaging transfers may only be made into the Subaccounts you select. This
Enhanced DCA provision allows you to earn a higher rate of interest than you
would normally earn on assets placed in the standard Fixed Account during the
comparable period.

Transfers will occur each month over the 8 month period with the final transfer
including all amounts remaining in the Enhanced DCA account.

You may have only one Enhanced DCA account in place at one time.

Transfers under the Enhanced DCA account do not count towards the twelve
transfers we allow each year without charge.

in the account for a 12 month period beginning on the date of issue of the
contract. Premium payments over $500,000 will require our approval. Dollar cost
averaging transfers may only be made into the Subaccounts you select. This
Enhanced DCA provision allows you to earn a higher rate of interest than you
would normally earn on assets placed in the standard Fixed Account during the
comparable period.

Transfers will occur each month over the 12 month period with the final transfer
including all amounts remaining in the Enhanced DCA Account.

SECTION 6 -SEPARATE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS

SEPARATE ACCOUNT

The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under
the investment Company Act of 1940. The portion of the assets of the Separate
Account equal to the reserves and other Contract liabilities of the Separate
Account are not chargeable with the liabilities arising out of any other
business that We may conduct and which has no specific relation to or dependence
upon the Separate Account. We have the right to transfer to Our general account
any assets of the Separate Account which are in excess of such reserves and
other liabilities. The Company established the Separate Account to support the
operations of this Contract and other variable contracts the Company currently
offers or may offer in the future.

SUBACCOUNTS

The assets of the Separate Account are divided into subdivisions called
Subaccounts that are listed on page 3A of this Contract and in the current
prospectus You received. Each Subaccount invests exclusively in shares of a
corresponding Portfolio of a Fund listed on page 3A of this Contract. The
income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to each
Subaccount shall be credited to or charged against such Subaccount without
regard to other income, gains, or losses of any other Subaccount. Any amounts of
income, dividends and gains distributed from the shares of a Fund are
re-invested in additional shares of that Fund at its net asset value.

The Separate Account supporting benefits of this Contract and the reserves
supporting variable annuity payments under this Contract provided by the
Separate Account depend on the investment performance of the Portfolios in which
Your selected Subaccounts are invested. We do not guarantee the investment
performance of the Portfolios. You bear the investment risk related to Separate
Account Value and variable annuity payments supported by the Subaccounts.

ACCUMULATION UNITS

Net Premium Payments may be allocated among and amounts may be transferred to
the Subaccounts. Net Premium Payments or transferred amounts are converted into
Accumulation Units of the Subaccount to which the payment is allocated or the
transfer is made. The Accumulation Unit value for each Subaccount's first
business day was set at $10 and is recalculated for each subsequent business
day. The number of Accumulation Units credited to each Subaccount is determined
by dividing the dollar value of a Net Premium Payment allocated or transferred
to a Subaccount by the value of one Accumulation Unit for the Subaccount as of
the end of the Business Day on which We received the payment. The number of
Accumulation Units so determined will not be affected by any subsequent change
in the value of such Accumulation Unit.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

The Accumulation Unit Value for each Subaccount will vary to reflect the
investment experience of the applicable Portfolio. The Accumulation Unit Value
for a Subaccount will be determined at the end of each Business Day by
multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value of the Subaccount on the preceding
Business Day by the net investment factor for the Subaccount for the current
Business Day. The value of the Subaccount on each Business Day is then
determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units in that Subaccount by
the Accumulation Unit Value on that Business Day.

10-VSTAR-01

VALUATION OF ANY SUBACCOUNT

Allocation of Net Premium Payments and transfers to a Subaccount will increase
the number of Accumulation Units of that Subaccount. Partial withdrawals and
transfers from a Subaccount will result in cancellation of Accumulation Units of
that Subaccount, as will a full withdrawal and the deduction of a Contract Fee
and any applicable premium taxes. Accumulation Units are cancelled as of the end
of the Business Day on which the Company receives a Written Request or notices
regarding the event.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

The net investment factor is an index applied to measure the investment
performance of a Subaccount from one Business Day to the next. The net
investment factor may be greater or less than one, therefore, the value of an
Accumulation Unit may increase or decrease from day to day.

The Net Investment Factor for each Subaccount equals 1 plus the fraction
obtained by dividing (a) by (b) where:

(a) is the net result of:

1. the investment income, dividends, and capital gains,
realized or unrealized, credited at the end of the current
Business Day; PLUS

2. the amount credited or released from reserves for taxes
attributed to the operation of the Subaccount; MINUS

3. the capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged at the
end of the Business Day, MINUS

4. any amount charged for taxes or any amount set aside during
the Business Day as a reserve for taxes attributable to the
operation or maintenance of the Subaccount; MINUS

5. the amount charged for mortality and expense risk on that
Business Day; MINUS

6. the amount charged for administration on that Business Day;
and

(b) is the value of the assets in the Subaccount at the end of the
preceding Business Day, adjusted for allocations and transfers
to and withdrawals and transfers from the Subaccount occurring
during that preceding Business Day.

ANNUITY UNIT VALUE

The value of an Annuity Unit for each Subaccount will vary to reflect the
investment experience of the applicable Portfolio. The value of an Annuity Unit
for a Subaccount will be determined on each Business Day by multiplying the
Annuity Unit value of the Subaccount on the preceding Business Day by the
product of (a) the net investment factor for that Subaccount for the Business
Day for which the annuity value is being calculated and (b) an interest factor
to neutralize the assumed interest rate.

You may choose an assumed interest rate of 3%, 4% or 5% at the time a variable
payout plan is selected.

SECTION 7 -WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

You may request, in writing, to withdraw part of the Contract Value in amounts
not less than $250. Your request must be received before the Annuity Start Date.
In certain situations and depending upon the amount of the request, the Company
may accept faxed requests. If the Contract Value is reduced to below $1,000 by a
partial withdrawal, the Company reserves the right to pay the Surrender Value to
the Owner in a lump sum. Such payment will terminate the Contract and all
obligations under the Contract.

You specify the Subaccount(s) or Fixed Account from which the partial withdrawal
is made. If You do not specify from which accounts the withdrawal is to be made,
or if the amount in the designated account is inadequate to comply with Your
request, We will make the withdrawal pro-rata from each Subaccount and the Fixed
Account based on the proportion that Your Subaccount values and the Fixed
Account Value bear to the Contract Value prior to the withdrawal.

We will pay You the amount You request in connection with a partial withdrawal
by cancelling Accumulation Units from the appropriate Subaccount(s) and/or
reducing the value of the Fixed Account.

FREE WITHDRAWAL

After the first Contract Year, You may withdraw up to 10% of Your Contract Value
as of the beginning of each Contract Year and We will not charge you a
Withdrawal Charge. This amount is called the Free Withdrawal Amount. Withdrawals
under the Systematic Withdrawal Program are also permitted a Free Withdrawal
Amount, as stated in the Systematic Withdrawal Program provision, during the
first Contract Year.

If You do not withdraw the full 10% in any Contract Year, the remaining amount
does not roll over to the next Contract Year.

There will be a Withdrawal Charge on any withdrawals in excess of the annual
Free Withdrawal Amount.

FULL WITHDRAWAL OF CONTRACT VALUE

You may cancel this Contract by Written Request and receive the Surrender Value
at any time before the Annuity Start Date. The Surrender Value will be the
Contract Value as of the end of the Business Day on which the Company receives
Your Written Request in Our Administration Office, less any Withdrawal Charge,
any outstanding loans, Contract Fee and premium taxes not previously deducted.
We will not accept faxed requests for full withdrawals.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGES

The Withdrawal Charge is separately calculated for each withdrawal You make. For
purposes of calculating the Withdrawal Charge, We treat withdrawals as coming
from the oldest Premium Payment first. Amounts subject to the Withdrawal Charge
will be deemed to be first from Premium Payments, and then from earnings. This
means that We will not deduct a Withdrawal Charge on withdrawals of that portion
of Your Contract Value that exceeds the sum total of Your Premium Payments.

Amount. Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Program are also permitted a
Free Withdrawal Amount, as stated in the Systematic Withdrawal Program
provision, during the first Contract Year. If You do not withdraw the full 10%
in any one Contract Year, the remaining percentage may be rolled over to the
next Contract Year and will accumulate to 50% of the Contract Value as of the
date we receive your written request without incurring a Withdrawal Charge.

There will be a Withdrawal Charge on any withdrawals in excess of the annual

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

The Systematic Withdrawal Program provides an automatic monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual payment to You from the amounts You have accumulated in
the Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account. The minimum amount You may withdraw is
$100. To use the program, You must maintain a $1,000 balance in Your Contract.
You may elect to participate in the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time
before the Annuity Start Date by sending a Written Request to Our Administration
Office. Once You elect the program, it remains in effect unless the balance in
Your Contract drops below $1,000.

Withdrawals will be taken from the Subaccounts and Fixed Account proportionately
unless You instruct Us otherwise. We will assess a Withdrawal Charge on these
withdrawals, unless the amount You withdraw under the Systematic Withdrawal
Program qualifies as a Free Withdrawal Amount or unless Withdrawal Charges no
longer apply to the amounts withdrawn. Withdrawals under the Systematic
Withdrawal Program are permitted an Annual Free Withdrawal Amount during the
first Contract Year. We do not deduct any other charges for this program. We
reserve the right to discontinue offering the Systematic Withdrawal Program at
any time and for any reason.

Amounts withdrawn from the Fixed Account due to the Systematic Withdrawal
Program are counted toward the 20% of Fixed Account Value that may be
transferred out of the Fixed Account during any Contract Year.

SECTION 8 -OWNERSHIP PROVISIONS

CONTRACT OWNER

The Annuitant is the Owner unless otherwise stated in the application or unless
changed under the Transfer of Ownership Provision. The Owner is entitled to all
Contract rights and benefits while the Annuitant is alive, without the consent
of any other person.

JOINT OWNER

The Contract may be owned by two persons as Joint Owners, with rights of
survivorship. In this case, both Joint Owners must consent to any withdrawals or
changes to the Contract or Beneficiary.

TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP

You may transfer the ownership of this Contract on forms provided by Us. The
completed forms must be recorded by Us at Our Administration Office. The
transfer will be effective as of the date the transfer form is signed. We may
require the return of the Contract for endorsement. The transfer is subject to
any payment made or other actions taken by Us before We received Your Written
Request. We are not responsible for the tax consequences resulting from a change
of ownership.

QUALIFIED PLANS

If and while this Contract is part of a tax-qualified retirement plan under the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code, You may not change the Owner or assign the Contract
or make withdrawals unless permitted by the plan.

BENEFICIARY

The designation of a Beneficiary in the application shall remain in effect until
You change it. You may name a Beneficiary and change any named Beneficiary
during the lifetime of the Annuitant by Written Request satisfactory to Us. The
change will take effect on the date the Written Request is signed. A change will
not apply to any payment We make or any other action We take before the Written
Request is received in Our Administration Office. If there are joint owners, the
surviving owner will be deemed the beneficiary irregardless of any designation
made.

ASSIGNMENT

You may assign the Contract in writing. The assignment will not bind Us until We
have received a copy. Your rights and those of any Beneficiary will be subject
to assignment. We are not responsible for the validity or tax consequences of
the assignment.

14-VSTAR-01

SECTION 9 -DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS

DISTRIBUTION UPON THE DEATH OF THE OWNER

If You own the Contract with another person, and one of You dies before the
Annuity Start Date, the surviving Owner becomes the sole Beneficiary regardless
of Your designation. If there is no surviving Owner, Your named Beneficiary will
become the Beneficiary upon Your death. (You may name primary and contingent
beneficiaries.) If You have named two or more primary Beneficiaries, they will
share equally in the death benefit (described below) unless You have specified
otherwise. If there are no living primary Beneficiaries at the time of Your
death, payments will be made to those contingent Beneficiaries who are living
when payment of the death benefit is due. If all the Beneficiaries have
predeceased You, We will pay the death benefit to Your estate. If You or a Joint
Owner who is the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Start Date, then the
provisions relating to the death of an Annuitant (described below) will govern.

If You are not the Annuitant and You die before the Annuitant and
before the Annuity Start Date, then the following options are available to Your
Beneficiary:

(1) If such Beneficiary is the spouse of the deceased Owner, the
spouse may continue the Contract as the new Owner.

(2) If such Beneficiary is not the spouse of the deceased Owner:

(a) such Beneficiary may elect to receive the Contract Value,
LESS any premium taxes not yet deducted, LESS any outstanding
loans, in a single sum within 5 years of the deceased Owner's
death; or

(b) such Beneficiary may elect to receive the Contract Value,
LESS any premium taxes not yet deducted, LESS any outstanding
loans, paid out under one of the approved payout plans, or
any other distribution plan, provided that distributions
begin within one year of the deceased Owner's death and the
distribution period under the payout plan is for the life of,
or for a period not exceeding the life expectancy of, the
Beneficiary.

If such Beneficiary does not elect one of the above options, We
will pay the Contract Value, LESS any premium taxes not yet
deducted, LESS any outstanding loans, within five years from the
date of the deceased Owner's death.

Under any of the distribution options in this section, "Distribution Upon the
Death of the Owner," the Beneficiary may exercise all ownership rights and
privileges from the date of the deceased Owner's death until the date that the
Contract Value is paid. Similar rules apply to Qualified Contracts. The above
distribution requirements will apply only upon the death of the first Joint
Owner.

DISTRIBUTION UPON THE DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT

If the Annuitant (including an Owner who is the Annuitant) dies before the
Annuity Start Date, We will pay the Death Benefit described below in "Death
Benefits Before the Annuity Start Date" in a lump sum to Your named
Beneficiary(ies) within five years after the date of the Annuitant's death. (You
may name primary and contingent beneficiaries.) If You have named two or more
primary Beneficiaries, they will share equally in the Death Benefit unless You
have specified otherwise. If there are no living primary Beneficiaries at the
time of the Annuitant's death, payments will be made to those contingent
Beneficiaries who are living when payment of the Death Benefit is due. If all
the Beneficiaries have predeceased the Annuitant, We will pay the Death Benefit
to You, if living, or the Annuitant's estate. In lieu of a lump sum payment, the
Beneficiary may elect, within 60 days of the date We receive due proof of the
Annuitant's death, to apply the Death Benefit to a payout plan (See "Payout
Options.")

If you are also the Annuitant and You die, the provisions described
immediately above apply, except that the Beneficiary may only apply the Death
Benefit payment to a payout plan if:

(1) payments under the option begin within one (1) year of the
Annuitant's death; and
(2) payments under the option are payable over the Beneficiary's life
or over a period not greater than the Beneficiary's life
expectancy.

As used in this provision, Death Benefit Anniversary means every third Contract
Anniversary beginning on the Date of Issue.

If the Annuitant dies before age 75 and the Annuity Start Date, the Beneficiary
will receive a Death Benefit. The minimum Death Benefit payable upon the death
of the Annuitant before the Annuity Start Date will be reset every third year on
the Death Benefit Anniversary if the Contract Value on such Death Benefit
Anniversary is greater than the Contract Value on the previous Death Benefit

(2) the highest Contract Value as of any Death Benefit Anniversary
preceding the date the Death Benefit is determined, plus any
Premium Payments, and minus any withdrawals and charges, incurred
between such Death Benefit Anniversary and the date the Death
Benefit is determined. This value is initially set on the first
Death Benefit Anniversary and equals the greater of: (a) the sum
of Premium Payments, MINUS partial withdrawals; or (b) Contract
Value, on that date. This value will be reset on every future
Death Benefit Anniversary to equal Contract Value on that date
only if the Contract Value on that Death Benefit Anniversary is
greater than the Death Benefit Value on any previous Death Benefit
Anniversary. Once reset, this value will never decrease unless
partial withdrawals are made;

LESS any outstanding loans and LESS any applicable premium taxes not previously
deducted.

BENEFICIARIES

You may designate the Beneficiaries as primary or contingent to indicate the
order in which they take. If You name two or more Beneficiaries of the same
class they will share equally unless you state how they are to share. If You
identify a relative as a Beneficiary, We will interpret that to mean a relative
of the Annuitant unless You state the relationship is to another person.

Any Beneficiary who dies within 10 days of the Annuitant's or Owner's death will
not be entitled to any benefits unless that Beneficiary is living when We
receive due proof of the Annuitant's or Owner's death.

DEATH OF PAYEE AFTER THE ANNUITY START DATE

If the Payee dies after the Annuity Start Date, any Joint Payee becomes the sole
Payee. If there is no Joint Payee, the Successor Payee becomes the sole Payee.
If there is no Successor Payee, the remaining benefits are paid to the estate of
the last surviving Payee. The death of the Payee after the Annuity Start Date
will have the effect stated in the payout plan pursuant to which annuity
payments are being made. If any Owner dies on or after the Annuity Start Date,
any payments that remain must be made at least as rapidly as under the payout
plan in effect on the date of Your death.

BENEFICIARIES

DEATH OF PAYEE AFTER THE ANNUITY START DATE

DEATH EXPENSE BENEFIT FEATURE

If the Annuitant is 75 or younger when we issue your contract (or if the
owner/annuitant's spouse is 75 or younger when he or she elects to continue the
contract) the death benefit payable will be the greater of:

(1) the Contract's basic death benefit; or

(2) any applicable enhanced death benefit you selected

increased by the Death Expense Benefit (▇▇▇) which is:

35% of the ▇▇▇ Earnings calculated at the time the death benefit is
calculated.

▇▇▇ Earnings are equal to the Contract Value less Net Premiums. Net Premiums are
the total premiums paid, which have been reduced on a pro-rata basis by any
partial withdrawals. In determining the Net Premiums, we will not consider
premium payments made during the 12-month period before death. No benefit is
payable under the Death Expense Benefit feature if there are no ▇▇▇ Earnings on
the date the death benefit is calculated. The charge for the Death Expense
Benefit is deducted even during periods when no Death Expense Benefit would be
paid because there are no ▇▇▇ Earnings.

If the Annuitant's age at death is greater than age 85, then the Death Expense
Benefit payable will not exceed the Death Expense Benefit available at the
Annuitant's 85th birthdate.

The death expense benefit may not exceed 40% of Net Premiums on the date the
death benefit is calculated.

If a spouse elects to continue the Contract instead of receiving a death benefit
and Death Expense Benefit under the Contract, the Death Expense Benefits will
continue under the same terms and conditions as issued to the owner/annuitant.
The charge for the Death Expense Benefit will be deducted even during periods
when no Death Expense Benefit would be paid because there are no ▇▇▇ Earnings.
If the spouse continues the contract, and if his or her age at death is greater
than age 85, the Death Expense Benefit payable will not exceed the Death Expense
Benefit available at the spouse's 85th birthdate.

The Death Expense Benefit will not be paid unless: (a) death occurs at least 12
months after the date of issue; (b) a death benefit is payable under the
Contract, and (c) there are ▇▇▇ Earnings when the death benefit is calculated.

If you purchase your Contract as part of a 1035 exchange, the ▇▇▇ Earnings do
not include any gains before the date of issue of the Contract.

For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under
the Contract and the Death Expense Benefit will be considered.

a fixed payout is selected, the payments for each $1,000 applied will not be
less than those shown in the Fixed Period Table in Section 12.

You may request quarterly, semi-annual, or annual annuity payments instead of
monthly payments.

(A) Fixed Period -Paid in monthly payments for the number of years
You select from 1 to 30 years. The amount of the payment is not
guaranteed if a variable payout is selected. If a fixed payout is
selected, the payments for each $1,000 applied will not be less
than those shown in the Fixed Period Table in Section 12. Payments
may be commuted.

(B) Fixed Amount -Paid in equal monthly installments of $5.00 or
more for each $1,000 applied. The number of payments is not
guaranteed if a variable payout is selected. If a fixed payout is
selected, payments will be made until the full amount applied with
compound interest at not less that 3% is used up. Payments may be
commuted.

(2) Life Income Plans

(A) One Life -Paid monthly during the lifetime of the Payee. We
will guarantee payments for either 10 or 20 years and for as long
as the Payee lives. The amount of the payment is not guaranteed if
a variable payout is selected. If a fixed payout is selected, the
payments for each $1,000 applied will not be less than those shown
in the One Life Table. The amount paid is based on the Payee's sex
and age on the date of the first annuity payment. Payments
guaranteed for 10 or 20 years may be commuted. Payments guaranteed
only for the life of the Payee may not be commuted.

(B) Joint and Survivor -paid in monthly payments jointly to two
Payees and after one dies to the surviving Payee. The amount paid
is based on the sex and age of both Payees on the date of the
first payment. If either one dies before the due date of the first
payment, We will pay the survivor under the Life Income Plan A
with payments guaranteed for 10 years. Payments may not be
commuted.

VARIABLE PAYOUT

A variable payout plan is a payout plan with payments increasing or decreasing
in amount in accordance with the Annuity Unit values of one or more of the
Subaccount(s) (as described in the Separate Account Provisions). The dollar
amount for the first variable annuity payment is the same as the first fixed
annuity payment (assuming the fixed payment is based on the minimum guaranteed
3% interest rate). Later variable annuity payments, however, will vary to
reflect net investment performance of the Subaccount selected.

Once variable payments begin, the number of Annuity Units remains fixed with
respect to a Subaccount. If the Contract Owner elects by Written Request to
exchange Annuity Units of one Subaccount for those of another Subaccount, the
number will change effective with that election but will remain fixed in number
following such election. The method of calculating the Annuity Unit value is
described under the Separate Account Provisions.

The dollar amount of the second and subsequent variable payments is not
predetermined and may increase or decrease from period to period. The actual
amount of each variable payment after the first is determined by multiplying the
number of Annuity Units by the Annuity Unit values described in the Separate
Account Provisions.

FIXED PAYOUT

We guarantee interest under all fixed payout plans at a minimum rate of 3% a
year. We may increase the interest rate above the minimum. Monthly payments on
Life Income Plans will be based on the interest rate in effect on the due date
of the first payment.

CHOOSING A PAYOUT PLAN

You may choose or change a payout plan at any time before the Annuity Start
Date. The choice must be in writing and in a form satisfactory to Us. The
minimum amount which may be applied under a payout plan is $2,500. Any choice
involving more than one payout plan must have Our approval.

If You do not elect a payout plan by the Annuity Start Date, We will apply the
adjusted Contract Value, less any applicable Withdrawal Charges, under Life
Income Plan A with payments guaranteed for 10 years. When a Payee who is
entitled to a payment in one sum chooses a payout plan, the rights of all other
Beneficiaries end. Any amount payable when a Payee dies will be paid in one sum
to the Payee's estate unless the Payee has named a Successor Payee.

DATE OF PAYMENT

The first payment under any payout plan will be made on the fifteenth day of the
month immediately following Your selection of a plan. Subsequent payments shall
be made on the fifteenth day of each subsequent month in accordance with the
manner of payment selected.

SECTION 11 -GENERAL PROVISIONS

CHANGE IN THE OPERATION OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

accounts, including the Separate Account; add new Subaccounts to or remove
existing Subaccounts from the Separate Account or combine Subaccounts; make new
Subaccounts or other Subaccounts available to such classes of Contracts as We
may determine; add new Funds or remove existing Funds; if shares of a Fund are
no longer available for investment or if We determine that investment in a Fund
is no longer appropriate in light of the purposes of the Separate Account,
substitute a different Fund for any existing Fund; de-register the Separate
Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in the event registration is no
longer required; operate the Separate Account as a management investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or as any other form permitted by law;

CREDITOR'S CLAIMS

All payments under the Contract will be exempt from the claims of creditors and
legal process in the extent permitted by law. No payment will be transferred,
assigned or withdrawn before it becomes payable unless We agree.

INCONTESTABILITY

The Contract will be incontestable from the Date of Issue.

INCORRECT AGE OR SEX

If the Annuitant's age or sex has been misstated, the amount of the annuity
payable by the Company shall be that provided by that portion of the amounts
allocated to affect such annuity on the basis of the corrected information
without changing the date of the first payments of such annuity. Any overpayment
We make will be charged with compound interest against subsequent payments. Any
amounts We owe as a result of under-payment will be paid with compound interest
upon receipt of notice of the underpayment. The rate will be the rate We use to
determine the number or amount of the payments.

MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT

Any change in the Contract or waiver of its provisions must be in writing and
signed by Our President, a Vice President, Our Secretary or Assistant Secretary.
No other person can change or waive any of its provisions.

Upon notice to You, the Company may modify the Contract, if necessary, to permit
the Contract or the Separate Account to comply with any applicable law or
regulation issued by a government agency or if necessary to assure continued
qualification of the contract under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal
or state laws relating to retirement annuities or variable annuities contracts,
or if necessary to effect a change in the operation of the Separate Account; or
if the modification provides additional investment options.

In the event of such modifications, the Company will make the appropriate
endorsement to the Contract.

NON-PARTICIPATING

This Contract does not participate in surplus earnings of the General Account.

PROOF OF FACTS

We may ask any person claiming the right to payments for proof satisfactory to
Us of such person's age, sex and right to payment. Any payments We make relying
on that proof discharge Us from any obligation to make that payment to another
person.

REPORTS TO THE OWNER

We will provide You with a report showing the Contract Values at least once each
year. We will also provide You an annual report of the Separate Account and any
other notice or report required by law to be delivered to Owners. All reports
and notices will be sent to Your last known address.

SUBMISSION OF CONTRACT

We may ask You to relinquish the Contract or send it to Us for endorsement
before We make any payment. Failure to have You surrender the Contract or note
payment on it does not indicate that We have not made payment.

VOTING PRIVILEGES

So long as Federal law requires, We will give You certain voting privileges. As
Contract Owner, if You have voting privileges, We will send a notice to You
telling You the time and place of a shareholder meeting. The notice will also
explain the matter to be voted upon and how many votes You get.
