the total of all Purchase Payments made to the Account during
the first Account Year.
Aetna will deduct any forfeited Premium Bonus on a pro rata basis from the
Subaccount(s) and/or the Guaranteed Term(s) in which the Account Value is
invested at the time of the withdrawal.

Provisions, add the following to Death Benefit Amount:
