The Company intends to sell the Contracts in all jurisdictions where it is
licensed to do business and where the Contract is approved. Any sales
representative or employee associated with a broker-dealer who sells the
Contracts will be qualified to sell variable annuities under applicable federal
and state laws. Each broker-dealer is registered with the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and all are members of the NASD. The principal
underwriter of the Contracts is CFBDS, Inc. 21 Milk Street, Boston, MA. CFBDS is
not affiliated with the Company or the Separate Account. However, it is
currently anticipated that Travelers Distribution LLC (TDC), One Tower Square,

it will not exceed 2% of the average account value annually. From time to time,
the Company may pay or permit other promotional incentives, in cash, credit or
