The Annuity  Contract               The  fixed  and  variable  annuity  contract
                                    offered by Jackson  National  NY  provides a
                                    means for investing on a tax-deferred  basis
                                    in  the   guaranteed   accounts  of  Jackson
                                    National NY and the  investment  portfolios.
                                    The  contract  is  intended  for  retirement
                                    savings   or  other   long-term   investment
                                    purposes and  provides  for a death  benefit
                                    and income options.

                                    The   contract    has   two   phases:    the
                                    accumulation  phase  and the  income  phase.
                                    During  the  accumulation  phase,   earnings
                                    accumulate on a  tax-deferred  basis and are
                                    taxed as income when you make a  withdrawal.
                                    The  income  phase  occurs  when  you  begin
                                    receiving   regular   payments   from   your
                                    contract. The amount of money you accumulate
                                    in your  contract  during  the  accumulation
                                    phase  will  determine  the amount of income
                                    payments during the income phase.

Investment Options                  You can put money into any of the guaranteed
                                    accounts  and/or the  investment  portfolios
                                    but you may not put your  money in more than
                                    eighteen of the  investment  options  during
                                    the life of your contract.

                                    The  guaranteed  accounts  offer an interest
                                    rate that is guaranteed by Jackson  National
                                    NY.  While  your  money  is in a  guaranteed
                                    account,  the interest  your money earns and
                                    your  principal  are  guaranteed  by Jackson
                                    National NY.

                                    The investment portfolios purchase shares of
                                    series a of mutual  fund.  These  series are
                                    described  in the  attached JNL Series Trust
                                    prospectus.  The  value  of  the  investment
                                    portfolios  will vary in accordance with the
                                    investment  performance  of the series.  You
                                    bear the investment  risk under the contract
                                    for all amounts  allocated to the investment
                                    portfolios.

Expenses                            The  contract  has  insurance  features  and
                                    investment  features,  and  there  are costs
                                    related to each.

                                    Jackson  National NY makes a  deduction  for
                                    its  insurance  charges  which  is  equal to
                                    1.40% of the  daily  value of the  contracts
                                    invested  in  the   investment   portfolios.
                                    During  the  accumulation   phase,   Jackson
                                    National  NY deducts a $30  annual  contract
                                    maintenance charge from your contract.

                                    If you take your money out of the  contract,
                                    Jackson  National NY may assess a withdrawal
                                    charge.  The withdrawal  charge starts at 7%
                                    in the first year and  declines 1% a year to
                                    0% after 7 years.

                                    There  are  also  investment  charges  which
                                    range  from  .20% to  1.18%  of the  average
                                    daily value of the series,  depending on the
                                    series.

Purchases                           Under  most  circumstances,  you  can  buy a
                                    contract  for $5,000 or more ($2,000 or more
                                    for a qualified plan contract).  You can add
                                    $500 ($50 under the automatic  payment plan)
                                    or more at any time during the  accumulation
                                    phase.

Access to Your Money                You can  take  money  out of  your  contract
                                    during the  accumulation  phase. At any time
                                    during  the  accumulation   phase,  you  may
                                    withdraw premiums which are not subject to a
                                    withdrawal  charge (premiums in your annuity
                                    for seven years or longer and not previously
                                    withdrawn).   Once  every   year,   you  may
                                    withdraw  the  greater of earnings or 10% of
                                    premiums    paid   (not   yet    withdrawn).
                                    Withdrawals   in  excess  of  that  will  be
                                    charged a  withdrawal  charge.  You may also
                                    have to pay income tax and a tax  penalty on
                                    any money you take out.

Income Payments                     If you want to receive  regular  income from
                                    your  annuity,  you can  choose  one of four
                                    options:
                                                (1)  monthly  payments  for  the
                                                annuitant's life;
                                                (2)  monthly  payments  for  the
                                                annuitant's life and the life of
                                                another   person   (usually  the
                                                annuitant's spouse);
                                                (3)  monthly  payments  for  the
                                                annuitant's   life,   but   with
                                                payments  continuing  to  you or
                                                your designated  beneficiary for
                                                10 or 20 years if the  annuitant
                                                dies   before  the  end  of  the
                                                selected period; and
                                                (4)  payments  for a period of 5
                                                to 30 years.

                                    During the income  phase,  you have the same
                                    investment   choices   you  had  during  the
                                    accumulation  phase.  You can choose to have
                                    payments come from the guaranteed  accounts,
                                    the  investment  portfolios  or both. If you
                                    choose  to have  any  part of your  payments
                                    come  from the  investment  portfolios,  the
                                    dollar  amount of your payments may go up or
                                    down.  If  you  choose  a  variable   income
                                    option,   you  may  make  transfers  between
                                    investment  portfolios  but you may not make
                                    transfers  in to or out  of  the  guaranteed
                                    accounts.

   
Death Benefit                       If you  die  before  moving  to  the  income
                                    phase,  the person  you have  chosen as your
                                    beneficiary  will  receive a death  benefit.
                                    The death benefit equals the greatest of:

                                                (1) current contract value;
                                                (2)  the  total   premiums  paid
                                                prior to your  death,  minus the
                                                sum of  withdrawals,  withdrawal
                                                charges and premium taxes;
                                                (3)  the  greatest   anniversary
                                                value   prior   to   your   86th
                                                birthday.  The anniversary value
                                                is  the  contract  value  on the
                                                first  day of a  contract  year,
                                                less   any    withdrawals    and
                                                withdrawal  charges,   plus  any
                                                additional  premiums  since that
                                                day.

Taxes                               The Internal  Revenue Code provides that you
                                    will  not be taxed  on the  earnings  on the
                                    money held in your  contract  until you take
                                    money   out   (this   is   referred   to  as
                                    tax-deferral).  There are different rules as
                                    to how you  will be taxed  depending  on how
                                    you  take  the  money  out and  the  type of
                                    contract   you   have    (non-qualified   or
                                    qualified).

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

The fixed and  variable  annuity  contract  offered by Jackson  National NY is a
contract between you, the owner, and Jackson National NY, an insurance  company.
The  contract  provides  a  means  for  investing  on a  tax-deferred  basis  in
guaranteed  accounts  and  investment  portfolios.  The contract is intended for
retirement  savings or other  long-term  investment  purposes and provides for a
death benefit and guaranteed income options.

The  contract,  like all deferred  annuity  contracts,  has two phases:  (1) the
accumulation  phase, and (2) the income phase.  During the  accumulation  phase,
earnings  accumulate  on a  tax-deferred  basis and are taxed as income when you
make a withdrawal.

The contract  offers  guaranteed  accounts.  The  guaranteed  accounts  offer an
interest rate that is guaranteed by Jackson  National NY for the duration of the
guaranteed  account  period.  While your money is in a guaranteed  account,  the
interest your money earns and your principal are guaranteed by Jackson  National
NY. The value of a  guaranteed  account may be reduced if you make a  withdrawal
prior to the end of the guaranteed  account period,  but will never be less than
the  premium  payments  accumulated  at 3% per year.  If you choose to have your
annuity  payments come from the guaranteed  accounts,  your payments will remain
level throughout the entire income phase.

The contract also offers investment  portfolios.  The investment  portfolios are
designed to offer a higher return than the guaranteed accounts. However, this is
not  guaranteed.  It is possible for you to lose your money. If you put money in
the  investment  portfolios,  the amount of money you are able to  accumulate in
your contract during the accumulation  phase depends upon the performance of the
investment  portfolios you select. The amount of the income payments you receive
during the income phase also will depend,  in part,  on the  performance  of the
investment portfolios you choose for the income phase.

As the owner,  you can exercise all the rights under the contract.  You and your
spouse can be joint owners.  You can assign the contract at any time during your
lifetime  but Jackson  National  NY will not be bound  until we receive  written
notice of the assignment.

THE COMPANY

Jackson National NY is a stock life insurance  company  organized under the laws
of the state of New York in July 1995. Its legal domicile and principal business
address is 2900 Westchester Avenue,  Purchase,  New York 10577. Jackson National
NY is admitted to conduct life  insurance and annuity  business in the states of
New  York  and  Michigan.  Jackson  National  NY is  ultimately  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Prudential Corporation plc (London, England).

THE GUARANTEED ACCOUNTS

If you select a  guaranteed  account,  your money  will be placed  with  Jackson
National NY's other assets. The guaranteed  accounts are not registered with the
SEC and the SEC does not  review  the  information  we  provide to you about the
guaranteed  accounts.  Your contract contains a more complete description of the
guaranteed accounts.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

The JNLNY Separate Account I was established by Jackson National NY on September
12, 1997,  pursuant to the  provisions  of New York law, as a  segregated  asset
account of the company. The separate account meets the definition of a "separate
account" under the federal  securities  laws and is registered with the SEC as a
unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The assets of the separate account legally belong to Jackson National NY and the
obligations under the contracts are obligations of Jackson National NY. However,
the contract assets in the separate  account are not chargeable with liabilities
arising out of any other business  Jackson  National NY may conduct.  All of the
income,  gains and losses resulting from these assets are credited to or charged
against the contracts and not against any other  contracts  Jackson  National NY
may issue.

The separate account is divided into investment portfolios.  Jackson National NY
does not guarantee the  investment  performance  of the separate  account or the
investment portfolios.

Depending  on  market  conditions,  you can  make or  lose  money  in any of the
investment portfolios. You should read the JNL Series Trust prospectus carefully
before  investing.  Additional  investment  portfolios  may be  available in the
future.

Voting Rights.  To the extent required by law,  Jackson  National NY will obtain
from you and other owners of the contracts  instructions  as to how to vote when
the series solicits  proxies in conjunction  with a vote of  shareholders.  When
Jackson National NY receives  instructions,  we will vote all the shares Jackson
National NY owns in proportion to those instructions.

Substitution.  Jackson  National NY may be required to  substitute an investment
portfolio with another portfolio. We will not do this without the prior approval
of the SEC. Jackson National NY will give you notice of our intent to do this.

CONTRACT CHARGES

There are charges and other expenses  associated  with the contracts that reduce
the return on your  investment  in the  contract.  These charges may be a lesser
amount  where  required  by state  law or as  described  below,  but will not be
increased. These charges and expenses are:

Insurance  Charges.  Each day  Jackson  National  NY makes a  deduction  for its
insurance  charges.  We do this as part of our  calculation  of the value of the
accumulation  units and annuity  units.  On an annual basis,  this charge equals
1.40% of the daily value of the contracts  invested in an investment  portfolio,
after expenses have been deducted.

This  charge  is for the  mortality  risks,  expense  risks  and  administrative
expenses  assumed  by Jackson  National  NY. The  mortality  risks that  Jackson
National NY assumes arise from our obligations under the contracts:

o    to make income  payments  for the life of the  annuitant  during the income
     phase;
o    to waive the withdrawal charge in the event of your death; and 
o    to provide  both a standard  and an  enhanced  death  benefit  prior to the
     income date.

The expense  risk that  Jackson  National NY assumes is the risk that our actual
cost of  administering  the contracts and the investment  portfolios will exceed
the  amount  that we receive  from the  administration  charge and the  contract
maintenance charge.

Contract Maintenance Charge.  During the accumulation phase, Jackson National NY
deducts a $30 annual contract maintenance charge on each anniversary of the date
on which your contract was issued.  If you make a complete  withdrawal from your
contract, the contract maintenance charge will also be deducted.  This charge is
for administrative expenses.

Jackson National NY will not deduct this charge,  if when the deduction is to be
made,  the value of your  contract is $50,000 or more.  Jackson  National NY may
discontinue this practice at any time.

Transfer Fee. A transfer fee of $25 will apply to transfers in excess of 15 in a
contract year. Jackson National NY may waive the transfer fee in connection with
pre-authorized  automatic  transfer  programs,  or may charge a lesser fee where
required by state law.

Withdrawal Charge.  During the accumulation phase, you can make withdrawals from
your contract.

o    At any time during the accumulation  phase, you may withdraw premiums which
     are not subject to a withdrawal  charge (premiums in your annuity for seven
     years or longer and not previously withdrawn).
o    Once  every  year,  you may  withdraw  the  greater of  earnings  or 10% of
     premiums paid (not yet withdrawn).

Withdrawals in excess of that will be charged a withdrawal charge starting at 7%
in the first year and  declining 1% a year to 0% after 7 years.  The  withdrawal
charge compensates us for costs associated with selling the contracts.

For purposes of the withdrawal charge, Jackson National NY treats withdrawals as
coming from the oldest premium payment first. If you make a full withdrawal, the
withdrawal  charge  is based  on  premiums  remaining  in the  contract.  If you
withdraw  only part of the value of your  contract,  we  deduct  the  withdrawal
charge from the remaining value in your contract.

     Note:  For tax purposes,  withdrawals  are considered to have come from the
last money into the contract. Thus, for tax purposes, earnings are considered to
come out first.

Jackson  National NY does not assess the withdrawal  charge on any payments paid
out as (1) income payments,  (2) death benefits, or (3) withdrawals necessary to
satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Jackson National NY may reduce or eliminate the amount of the withdrawal  charge
when the contract is sold under  circumstances  which reduce its sales  expense.
Some examples are: the purchase of a contract by a large group of individuals or
an  existing   relationship  between  Jackson  National  NY  and  a  prospective
purchaser.  Jackson  National  NY will not deduct a  withdrawal  charge  under a
contract issued to an officer,  director,  agent or employee of Jackson National
NY or any of its affiliates.

Other Expenses.  Jackson National NY pays the operating expenses of the Separate
Account.

There are  deductions  from and  expenses  paid out of the assets of the series.
These expenses are described in the attached JNL Series Trust prospectus.

Premium Taxes. Some governmental  entities charge premium taxes or other similar
taxes. Jackson National NY is responsible for the payment of these taxes and may
make a  deduction  from the  value  of the  contract  for  them.  Premium  taxes
generally  range  from 0% to 4%  depending  on the  state.  New  York  does  not
currently impose a premium tax on annuity premiums.

Income Taxes.  Jackson  National NY will make a deduction  from the contract for
any income taxes which it incurs because of the contract.  Currently, we are not
making any such deduction.

Distribution of Contracts.  Jackson National Life Distributors,  Inc. is located
at 10877  Wilshire  Boulevard,  Suite 1550,  Los Angeles,  California  90024 and
serves as the distributor of the contracts.  Jackson National Life Distributors,
Inc. and Jackson National NY are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries of Jackson National
Life Insurance Company.

   
Commissions  will  be paid to  broker-dealers  who  sell  the  contracts.  While
commissions may vary, they are not expected to exceed 8% of any premium payment.
Under certain circumstances, Jackson National NY may pay bonuses, overrides, and
marketing allowances,  in addition to the standard commissions.  While overrides
may vary, they are not expected to exceed .25% of any premium  payment.  Jackson
National NY may under certain  circumstances  where permitted by applicable law,
pay a bonus to a contract  purchaser to the extent the broker-dealer  waives its
commission. Jackson National NY may use any of its corporate assets to cover the
cost of distribution, including any profit from the contract insurance charges.
    

PURCHASES

Minimum Initial Premium:

o    $5,000 under most circumstances
o    $2,000 for a qualified plan contract

The maximum we accept without our prior approval is $1 million.

You can add $500 ($50 under the  automatic  payment plan) at any time during the
accumulation phase.

The  minimum  that  you may  allocate  to a  guaranteed  account  or  investment
portfolio  is  $100.  There  is a $100  minimum  balance  requirement  for  each
guaranteed account and investment portfolio.

When you purchase a contract,  Jackson National NY will allocate your premium to
one or more of the guaranteed accounts and/or the investment portfolios you have
selected. Your allocations must be in whole percentages ranging from 0% to 100%.
Jackson National NY will allocate additional premiums in the same way unless you
tell us otherwise.

There may be more than eighteen investment options available under the contract;
however,  you may not  allocate  your  money to more  than  eighteen  investment
options during the life of your contract.

Jackson  National NY will issue your  contract and allocate  your first  premium
within 2 business  days after we receive  your  complete  application  and first
premium.  If your  application  is not complete,  we will contact you to get the
necessary  information.  If for some  reason  Jackson  National  NY is unable to
complete this process  within 5 business  days, we will either return your money
or get  your  permission  to keep  it  until  we  receive  all of the  necessary
information.

The Jackson  National NY  business  day closes when the New York Stock  Exchange
closes, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Accumulation  Units.  The contract value allocated to the investment  portfolios
will go up or down depending on the performance of the  portfolios.  In order to
keep track of the value of your  contract,  Jackson  National  NY uses a unit of
measure called an accumulation unit. (An accumulation unit is similar to a share
of a mutual fund.) During the income phase it is called an annuity unit.

Every business day Jackson  National NY determines the value of an  accumulation
unit for each of the investment portfolios. This is done by:

     1.   determining  the total  amount  of money  invested  in the  particular
          investment portfolio;

     2.   subtracting  any  insurance  charges  and any other  charges,  such as
          taxes;

     3.   dividing this amount by the number of outstanding accumulation units.

The value of an accumulation unit may go up or down from day to day.

When you make a premium payment,  Jackson National NY credits your contract with
accumulation  units. The number of accumulation  units credited is determined at
the close of Jackson  National  NY's  business day by dividing the amount of the
premium  allocated to any investment  portfolio by the value of the accumulation
unit for that investment portfolio.

TRANSFERS

You can transfer money between  guaranteed  accounts and  investment  portfolios
during the accumulation  phase.  During the income phase, you can transfer money
between investment portfolios.

You can make 15  transfers  every year  during the  accumulation  phase  without
charge. The minimum amount that you can transfer is $100 (unless the transfer is
made under a pre-authorized  automatic transfer program). If the remaining value
in a guaranteed account or investment  portfolio would be less than $100 after a
transfer, you must transfer the entire value or you may not make the transfer.

Telephone Transactions. You may make transfers by telephone, unless you elect on
your application not to have this privilege.  When  authorizing a transfer,  you
must complete your telephone call by the close of Jackson National NY's business
day (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) in order to receive that day's accumulation
unit value for an investment portfolio.

Jackson  National NY has  procedures  which are  designed to provide  reasonable
assurance  that telephone  authorizations  are genuine.  Our procedures  include
requesting identifying information and tape recording telephone  communications.
Jackson  National NY and its  affiliates  disclaim all  liability for any claim,
loss or expense resulting from any alleged error or mistake in connection with a
telephone transfer which was not properly authorized by you. However, if Jackson
National NY fails to employ  reasonable  procedures to ensure that all telephone
transfers  are  properly  authorized,  we may be held  liable  for such  losses.
Jackson  National NY reserves the right to modify or discontinue at any time and
without notice the acceptance of instructions from someone other than you and/or
the telephone transfer privilege.

ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can have access to the money in your contract:

o    by making either a partial or complete withdrawal, or
o    by electing to receive income payments.

Your  beneficiary  can have  access to the money in your  contract  when a death
benefit is paid.

When you make a complete withdrawal you will receive:

     1.   the value of the contract on the day you made the withdrawal;

     2.   less any premium tax;

     3.   less any contract maintenance charge; and

     4.   less any withdrawal charge.

Except in connection with the systematic  withdrawal program,  you must withdraw
at least  $500 or, if less,  the  entire  amount in the  guaranteed  account  or
investment  portfolio  from  which you are  making  the  withdrawal.  After your
withdrawal,  you must  have at least  $100  left in the  guaranteed  account  or
investment portfolio.

Income taxes, tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any withdrawal
you make.

There are  limitations  on  withdrawals  from a qualified  plan referred to as a
403(b) annuity. See "Taxes."

Systematic  Withdrawal Program. You can arrange to have money automatically sent
to you periodically while your contract is still in the accumulation  phase. You
will have to pay taxes on money you receive and  withdrawals you make before you
reach 59 1/2 may be subject to a 10% tax penalty.

We  reserve  the  right to  charge  a fee for  participation  or to  discontinue
offering this program in the future.

Suspension of Withdrawals or Transfers.  Jackson  National NY may be required to
suspend or delay withdrawals or transfers from an investment portfolio when:

o    the New York Stock  Exchange is closed  (other than  customary  weekend and
     holiday closings);
o    trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
o    an emergency exists so that it is not reasonably  practicable to dispose of
     shares of the  investment  portfolios  or  determine  investment  portfolio
     values;
o    the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of owners.

Jackson  National NY has reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or
transfer from the guaranteed  accounts for the period  permitted by law, but not
more than six months.

INCOME PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

The income  phase occurs when you begin  receiving  regular  payments  from your
contract.  The income date is the month and year in which those payments  begin.
The income date must be at least one year after your contract is issued. You can
choose the income date and an income  option.  The income  options are described
below.

If you do not choose an income option, we will assume that you selected Option 3
which provides a life annuity with 120 months of guaranteed payments.

You can change the income  date or income  option at any time  before the income
date.  You must give us 7 days notice.  Income  payments must begin by your 90th
birthday  under a  non-qualified  contract (or an earlier date under a qualified
contract if required by law).

At the  income  date,  you can  choose  whether  payments  will  come  from  the
guaranteed  accounts,  the  investment  portfolios  or both.  Unless you tell us
otherwise, your income payments will be based on the investment allocations that
were in place on the income date.

You can choose to have income payments made monthly,  quarterly,  semi-annually,
or  annually.  However,  if you have less than $2,000 to apply  toward an income
option and state law permits,  Jackson National NY may provide your payment in a
single lump sum.  Likewise,  if your first income payment would be less than $20
and state law permits,  Jackson National NY may set the frequency of payments so
that the first payment would be at least $20.

Income Payments from Investment Portfolios. If you choose to have any portion of
your income payments come from the investment portfolio(s), the dollar amount of
your payment will depend upon three things:

     1.   the  value of your  contract  in the  investment  portfolio(s)  on the
          income date;

     2.   the 3%  assumed  investment  rate  used in the  annuity  table for the
          contract; and

     3.   the performance of the investment portfolios you selected.

Jackson  National NY calculates  the dollar  amount of the first income  payment
that you  receive  from the  investment  portfolios.  We then use that amount to
determine  the  number  of  annuity  units  that  you  hold in  each  investment
portfolio.  The  amount of each  subsequent  income  payment  is  determined  by
multiplying the number of annuity units that you hold in an investment portfolio
by the annuity unit value for that investment portfolio.

The number of annuity units that you hold in each investment  portfolio does not
change  unless  you   reallocate   your  contract  value  among  the  investment
portfolios.  The annuity unit value of each investment portfolio will vary based
on  the  investment   performance  of  the  series.  If  the  actual  investment
performance  exactly  matches the assumed rate at all times,  the amount of each
income payment will remain equal. If the actual investment  performance  exceeds
the assumed rate, your income payments will increase.  Similarly,  if the actual
investment  performance is less than the assumed rate, your income payments will
decrease.

Income  Options.  The annuitant is the person whose life we look to when we make
income  payments.   (Each  description  assumes  that  you  are  the  owner  and
annuitant.)

     Option 1 - Life Income.  This income option provides  monthly  payments for
your life.

     Option 2 - Joint and Survivor Annuity.  This income option provides monthly
payments for your life and for the life of another person  (usually your spouse)
selected by you.

     Option 3 - Life Annuity With 120 or 240 Monthly Payments  Guaranteed.  This
income  option  provides  monthly  payments  for your  life,  but with  payments
continuing  to your  beneficiary  for the  remainder  of 10 or 20 years  (as you
select) if you die before the end of the selected period.

     Option 4 - Income for a  Specified  Period.  This  income  option  provides
monthly payments for any number of years from 5 to 30.

     Additional  Options - Other income options may be made available by Jackson
National NY.

If you choose  Option 1, 2 or 3, you cannot make a withdrawal  during the income
phase.

DEATH BENEFIT

   
Death of Owner  Before the Income Date.  If you die before  moving to the income
phase,  the  person you have  chosen as your  beneficiary  will  receive a death
benefit.  If you have a joint  owner,  the death  benefit  will be paid when the
first  joint  owner dies and the  surviving  joint  owner will be treated as the
beneficiary.  Any other  beneficiary  designated will be treated as a contingent
beneficiary.  A contingent beneficiary is entitled to receive payment only after
the beneficiary dies.

The death benefit equals the greatest of:

     1.   current contract value;

     2.   the total premiums paid prior to your death, minus the sum of:

          a.   withdrawals and withdrawal charges, and

          b.   premium taxes;

     3.   the  greatest  anniversary  value  prior to your  86th  birthday.  The
          anniversary value is the contract value on the first day of a contract
          year, less any withdrawals and withdrawal charges, plus any additional
          premiums since that day.
    


The entire death benefit must be paid within 5 years of the date of death unless
the beneficiary elects to have the death benefit payable under an income option.
The  death  benefit  payable  under  an  income  option  must be paid  over  the
beneficiary's  lifetime or for a period not extending  beyond the  beneficiary's
life  expectancy.  Payments  must  begin  within  one year of the date of death.
Unless the beneficiary chooses to receive the death benefit in a single sum, the
beneficiary  must elect an income option within the 60 day period beginning with
the date Jackson National NY receives proof of death. If the beneficiary chooses
to receive the death benefit in a single sum and all the necessary  requirements
are met,  Jackson  National NY will pay the death benefit  within 7 days. If the
beneficiary is your spouse, he/she can continue the contract in his/her own name
at the then current contract value.

Death of Owner After the Income  Date.  If you or a joint owner die after moving
to the income phase, any remaining payments under the income option elected will
continue  at least as rapidly as under the method of  distribution  in effect at
the date of death.

Death of  Annuitant.  If the  annuitant  is not an owner or joint  owner and the
annuitant dies before the income date,  you can name a new annuitant.  If you do
not name a new annuitant within 30 days of the death of the annuitant,  you will
become  the  annuitant.  However,  if the  owner is a  non-natural  person  (for
example, a corporation),  then the death of the annuitant will be treated as the
death of the owner, and a new annuitant may not be named.

If the annuitant dies after the income date, the death benefit,  if any, will be
as provided for in the income option  selected.  Death  benefits will be paid at
least  as  rapidly  as  under  the  method  of  distribution  in  effect  at the
annuitant's death.

TAXES

The  following is general  information  and is not intended as tax advice to any
individual. You should consult your own tax adviser.

The  Internal  Revenue  Code (Code)  provides  that you will not be taxed on the
earnings  on the money held in your  contract  until you take money out (this is
referred to as tax - deferral).  There are different rules as to how you will be
taxed  depending on how you take the money out and the type of contract you have
(non-qualified or qualified).

Non-Qualified  Contracts - General Taxation.  You will not be taxed on increases
in the value of your contract until a distribution (either as a withdrawal or as
an  income  payment)  occurs.  When you make a  withdrawal  you are taxed on the
amount of the withdrawal  that is earnings.  For income  payments,  a portion of
each income  payment is treated as a partial return of your premium and will not
be taxed.  The  remaining  portion  of the  income  payment  will be  treated as
ordinary  income.  How  the  income  payment  is  divided  between  taxable  and
non-taxable  portions  depends on the  period  over which  income  payments  are
expected to be made.  Income  payments  received  after you have received all of
your premium are treated as income.

If a non-qualified contract is owned by a non-natural person (e.g.,  corporation
or certain other entities other than  tax-qualified  trusts),  the contract will
generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes.

Qualified  and  Non-Qualified  Contracts.  If you  purchase  the  contract as an
individual  and not under any pension plan,  specially  sponsored  program or an
individual  retirement annuity,  your contract is referred to as a non-qualified
contract.

If you purchase the contract under a pension plan,  specially sponsored program,
or an individual retirement annuity, your contract is referred to as a qualified
contract.  Examples of  qualified  plans are:  Individual  Retirement  Annuities
(IRAs),  Tax-Sheltered  Annuities  (sometimes  referred to as 403(b) contracts),
H.R.  10  Plans  (sometimes  referred  to  as  Keogh  Plans),  and  pension  and
profit-sharing plans, which include 401(k) plans.

Withdrawals  -  Non-Qualified  Contracts.  If you make a  withdrawal  from  your
contract,  the Code treats the withdrawal as first coming from earnings and then
from your premium payments. Withdrawn earnings are includible in income.

The Code also provides that any amount received under an annuity  contract which
is included in income may be subject to a 10% penalty.  Some withdrawals will be
exempt from the  penalty.  They  include any  amounts:  (1) paid on or after the
taxpayer  reaches age 59 1/2;  (2) paid after you die;  (3) paid if the taxpayer
becomes  totally  disabled (as that term is defined in the Code);  (4) paid in a
series of substantially  equal payments made annually (or more frequently) under
a lifetime annuity;  (5) paid under an immediate annuity; or (6) which come from
premiums made prior to August 14, 1982.

Withdrawals - Qualified Contracts. There are special rules that govern qualified
contracts. We have provided additional discussion in the Statement of Additional
Information.

Withdrawals  -  Tax-Sheltered  Annuities.  The Code  limits  the  withdrawal  of
premiums from certain Tax-Sheltered Annuities. Withdrawals can only be made when
an owner:  (1) reaches age 59 1/2; (2) leaves his/her job; (3) dies; (4) becomes
disabled (as that term is defined in the Code);  or (5) in the case of hardship.
However,  in the case of hardship,  the owner can only  withdraw the premium and
not any earnings.

Withdrawals - Roth IRAs. Beginning in 1998,  individuals may purchase a new type
of non-deductible  IRA, known as a Roth IRA.  Qualified  distributions from Roth
IRAs  are  entirely  tax  free.  A  qualified  distribution  requires  that  the
individual has held the Roth IRA for at least five years and, in addition,  that
the  distribution  is made either  after the  individual  reaches age 59 1/2, on
account of the individual's death or disability, or as qualified first-time home
purchase,  subject to $10,000  lifetime  maximum,  for the individual,  or for a
spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor.

Withdrawals - Investment Adviser Fees. The Internal Revenue Service has, through
a series of Private Letter Rulings,  held that the payment of investment adviser
fees  from  an IRA or a  Tax-Sheltered  Annuity  is  permissible  under  certain
circumstances and will not be considered a distribution for income tax purposes.
The Rulings  require that in order to receive this favorable tax treatment,  the
annuity contract must, under a written agreement,  be solely liable (not jointly
with the  contract  owner)  for  payment of the  adviser's  fee and the fee must
actually be paid from the  annuity  contract to the  adviser.  Withdrawals  from
non-qualified  contracts  for the  payment of  investment  adviser  fees will be
considered distributions from the contract.

Assignment.  An  assignment  may be a taxable  event.  If the contract is issued
pursuant to a qualified plan, there may be limitations on your ability to assign
the contract.

Diversification.  The  Code  provides  that  the  underlying  investments  for a
variable annuity must satisfy certain  diversification  requirements in order to
be  treated  as an annuity  contract.  Jackson  National  NY  believes  that the
underlying   investments   are  being   managed  so  as  to  comply  with  these
requirements.

Neither the Code nor the Internal  Revenue  Service  Regulations  issued to date
provide guidance as to the circumstances  under which you, because of the degree
of  control  you  exercise  over the  underlying  investments,  and not  Jackson
National  NY would be  considered  the  owner of the  shares  of the  investment
portfolios.  If this  occurs,  it will result in the loss of the  favorable  tax
treatment for the contract.

It is  unknown  to  what  extent  owners  are  permitted  to  select  investment
portfolios,  to make transfers among the investment portfolios or the number and
type of investment  portfolios from which owners may select.  If any guidance is
provided which is considered a new position,  then the guidance would  generally
be applied  prospectively.  However,  if such guidance is considered not to be a
new position, it may be applied retroactively.  This would mean that you, as the
owner  of the  contract,  could  be  treated  as  the  owner  of the  investment
portfolios.  Due to the uncertainty in this area,  Jackson  National NY reserves
the right to modify  the  contract  in an  attempt  to  maintain  favorable  tax
treatment.

OTHER INFORMATION

Dollar Cost Averaging. You can arrange to automatically have a regular amount of
money   periodically   transferred   into  the   investment   portfolios.   This
theoretically  gives you a lower  average cost per unit over time than you would
receive if you made a one time purchase.

To participate in this program, you must have a total contract value of at least
$15,000  (unless we waive this  requirement).  Certain  other  restrictions  may
apply.

Jackson National NY does not currently charge for participation in this program.
We may do so in the future.

Rebalancing.   You  can  arrange  to  have  Jackson  National  NY  automatically
reallocate money between  investment  portfolios  periodically to keep the blend
you select.

Jackson National NY does not currently charge for participation in this program.
We may do so in the future.

Free Look.  You may return  your  contract  to the  selling  agent or to Jackson
National NY within  twenty days after  receiving  it.  Jackson  National NY will
return  the  contract  value  in the  investment  portfolios  plus  any fees and
expenses deducted from the premium  allocated to the investment  portfolios plus
the full amount of premium you  allocated to the  guaranteed  accounts.  We will
determine  the contract  value in the  investment  portfolios as of the date you
mail the contract to us or the date you return it to the selling agent.  Jackson
National NY will return premium payments where required by law.

Advertising.  From time to time, Jackson National NY may advertise several types
of performance for the investment portfolios.

     o    Total return is the overall change in the value of an investment in an
          investment  portfolio  over a given  period  of time.  
     o    Standardized  average  annual total return is calculated in accordance
          with  SEC  guidelines.  
     o    Non-standardized  total  return  may be for  periods  other than those
          required or may  otherwise  differ from  standardized  average  annual
          total return.  For example,  if a series has been in existence  longer
          than  the   investment   portfolio,   we  may  show   non-standardized
          performance  for  periods  that  begin  on the  inception  date of the
          series, rather than the inception date of the investment portfolio.  
     o    Yield  refers to the income  generated by an  investment  over a given
          period of time.

Performance will be calculated by determining the percentage change in the value
of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the
value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period.  Performance will
reflect the deduction of the insurance  charges and may reflect the deduction of
the contract  maintenance  charge and  withdrawal  charge.  The deduction of the
contract  maintenance  and/or the withdrawal  charge would reduce the percentage
increase or make greater any percentage decrease.

Market Timing and Asset Allocation Services.  Market timing and asset allocation
services  offered by third  parties  must  comply  with  Jackson  National  NY's
administrative systems, rules and procedures.

Modification of the Contract. Only the President,  Vice President,  Secretary or
Assistant  Secretary  of Jackson  National NY may approve a change to or waive a
provision  of the  contract.  Any change or waiver must be in  writing.  Jackson
National NY may change the terms of the contract in order to comply with changes
in applicable law, or otherwise as deemed necessary by Jackson National NY.

Year 2000  Matters.  Jackson  National NY has  initiated a project to review and
analyze its computer systems to determine if they are Year 2000 compatible. This
project  includes a process  which  ensures  that when a particular  system,  or
software  application,  is determined to be "non-compliant" the proper steps are
in place to either  remedy the  "non-compliance"  or cease using the  particular
system or software.

Jackson National NY's project provides for an inventory of all critical computer
systems,  testing of such systems and  resolution  of Year 2000 issues.  Jackson
National NY anticipates that all compliance  issues will be resolved by December
31, 1999.

As of the date of this  Prospectus,  Jackson National NY has identified and made
available what it believes are the  appropriate  resources of hardware,  people,
and dollars to ensure that the plan will be completed.

Jackson National NY will not conclusively know the success of its plan until the
Year 2000.  Even with  appropriate  and  diligent  pursuit  of a  well-conceived
response  plan,  including  testing  procedures,  there is no certainty that any
company will achieve complete success. Further, Jackson National NY's ability to
function  unaffected  to and through the Year 2000 may be adversely  affected by
actions (or inactions) of third parties beyond its knowledge or control.

Legal Proceedings.  There are no material legal proceedings, other than ordinary
routine  litigation  incidental to the business,  to which Jackson National Life
Insurance Company of New York, Jackson National Life Distributors, Inc., and the
JNLNY Separate Account I are parties.

Calculation of Performance

         When  Jackson  National NY  advertises  performance  for an  investment
portfolio (except the PPM America/JNL Money Market  Portfolio),  we will include
quotations of standardized average annual total return to facilitate  comparison
with  standardized  average  annual total return  advertised  by other  variable
annuity  separate  accounts.  Standardized  average  annual  total return for an
investment  portfolio  will be  shown  for  periods  beginning  on the  date the
investment  portfolio  first  invested  in the  corresponding  series.  We  will
calculate  standardized  average  annual total return  according to the standard
methods prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Standardized  average  annual  total  return for a  specific  period is
calculated by taking a hypothetical $1,000 investment in an investment portfolio
at the  offering  on the first day of the  period  ("initial  investment"),  and
computing the ending redeemable value ("redeemable value") of that investment at
the end of the  period.  The  redeemable  value is then  divided by the  initial
investment  and  expressed  as a  percentage,  carried  to at least the  nearest
hundredth of a percent.  Standardized  average annual total return is annualized
and reflects the deduction of the insurance charges and the contract maintenance
charge.  The  redeemable  value  also  reflects  the  effect  of any  applicable
withdrawal  charge that may be imposed at the end of the period. No deduction is
made for premium taxes which may be assessed by certain states.

   
         The  standardized  average  annual  total  returns for each  investment
portfolio  (except the PPM America/JNL  Money Market  Portfolio) for the periods
indicated are as follows:

                                                               Date of Initial
                                                                Investment in
                                                                Corresponding

         Jackson National NY may also advertise  non-standardized  total return.
Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required to be
presented or may otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return.
Because  the  contract is designed  for long term  investment,  non-standardized
total return that does not reflect the  deduction of any  applicable  withdrawal
charge may be  advertised.  Reflecting  the deduction of the  withdrawal  charge
decreases the level of performance advertised. Non-standardized total return may
also assume a larger initial investment which more closely approximates the size
of a typical contract.

         The non-standardized  average annual total returns that each investment
portfolio  (except  the PPM  America/JNL  Money  Market  Portfolio)  would  have
achieved  if it had been  invested in the  corresponding  series for the periods
indicated,  calculated in a manner similar to standardized  average annual total
return but assuming a  hypothetical  initial  investment  of $10,000 and without
deducting the withdrawal charge, are as follows:

         Prior to May 1, 1997, the PPM  America/JNL  Balanced  Portfolio was the

         Standardized  average annual total return quotations will be current to
the  last  day  of  the  calendar  quarter   preceding  the  date  on  which  an
advertisement is submitted for  publication.  Both  standardized  average annual
total return  quotations and  non-standardized  total return  quotations will be
based on rolling calendar quarters and will cover at least periods of one, five,
and ten years, or a period  covering the time the investment  portfolio has been
in existence, if it has not been in existence for one of the prescribed periods.
If the corresponding series has been in existence for longer than the investment
portfolio, the non-standardized total return quotations will show the investment
performance  the  investment  portfolio  would  have  achieved  (reduced  by the
applicable  charges)  had it been  held in the  series  for the  period  quoted.
Standardized average annual total return is not available for periods before the
investment portfolio was in existence.

         Quotations   of   standardized   average   annual   total   return  and
non-standardized  total  return  are based  upon  historical  earnings  and will
fluctuate.  Any quotation of performance should not be considered a guarantee of
future  performance.  Factors  affecting  the  performance  of a series  include
general market  conditions,  operating  expenses and investment  management.  An
owner's  withdrawal  value upon surrender of a contract may be more or less than
original cost.

         Jackson  National NY may advertise the current  annualized  yield for a
30-day period for an investment portfolio. The annualized yield of an investment
portfolio  refers to the income  generated by the  investment  portfolio  over a
specified 30-day period.  Because this yield is annualized,  the yield generated
by an investment  portfolio  during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated
each 30-day period.  The yield is computed by dividing the net investment income
per accumulation unit earned during the period by the price per unit on the last
day of the period, according to the following formula:

                   a-b   6
YIELD   =       2[(---+1)  -1]
                   cd


Where:

      a          =      net  investment  income  earned during the
                        period by the Series  attributable to shares
                        owned by the investment portfolio.
      b          =      expenses  for  the  investment  portfolio
                        accrued    for    the    period    (net   of
                        reimbursements).
      c          =      the average  daily number of  accumulation
                        units outstanding during the period.
      d          =      the   maximum    offering    price   per
                        accumulation  unit  on the  last  day of the
                        period.

         Net  investment  income will be  determined  in  accordance  with rules
established  by the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Accrued  expenses will
include all recurring fees that are charged to all contracts.

         Because of the charges and deductions  imposed by the Separate Account,
the  yield  for an  investment  portfolio  will be lower  than the yield for the
corresponding  series.  The yield on amounts held in the  investment  portfolios
normally will fluctuate over time. Therefore,  the disclosed yield for any given
period is not an  indication  or  representation  of  future  yields or rates of
return. An investment portfolio's actual yield will be affected by the types and
quality of  portfolio  securities  held by the  series and the series  operating
expenses.

   
         The yield for the 30-day period ended December 31, 1998 for each of the
referenced investment portfolios is as follows:

PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Portfolio                                      %
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Portfolio                  %


         Any  current  yield  quotations  of the PPM  America/JNL  Money  Market
Portfolio,  subject to Rule 482 of the Securities Act of 1933, will consist of a
seven calendar day historical  yield,  carried at least to the nearest hundredth
of a percent.  We may advertise  yield for the Portfolio based on different time
periods,  but we will accompany it with a yield  quotation  based on a seven day
calendar  period.  The PPM America/JNL  Money Market  Portfolio's  yield will be
calculated by determining the net change,  exclusive of capital changes,  in the
value  of  a  hypothetical   pre-existing   account  having  a  balance  of  one
accumulation   unit  at  the  beginning  of  the  base  period,   subtracting  a
hypothetical charge reflecting  deductions from contracts,  and dividing the net
change in  account  value by the value of the  account at the  beginning  of the
period to obtain a base period return and  multiplying the base period return by
(365/7).  The PPM  America/JNL  Money  Market  Portfolio's  effective  yield  is
computed  similarly  but  includes  the  effect  of  assumed  compounding  on an
annualized  basis of the current  yield  quotations  of the  Portfolio.  The PPM
America/JNL Money Market Portfolio's yield and effective yield for the seven day
period ended December 31, 1998 were % and %, respectively.
    

         The PPM America/JNL Money Market  Portfolio's yield and effective yield
will fluctuate  daily.  Actual yields will depend on factors such as the type of
instruments in the series'  portfolio,  portfolio  quality and average maturity,
changes in interest  rates,  and the series'  expenses.  Although the investment
portfolio  determines its yield on the basis of a seven calendar day period,  it
may use a different  time period on  occasion.  The yield quotes may reflect the
expense  limitations  described  in  the  series'  Prospectus  or  Statement  of
Additional  Information.  There is no  assurance  that the yields  quoted on any
given  occasion  will be  maintained  for any  period  of time  and  there is no
guarantee  that the net asset  values will remain  constant.  It should be noted
that neither a contract owner's  investment in the PPM America/JNL  Money Market
Portfolio nor that  Portfolio's  investment in the PPM America/JNL  Money Market
Series, is guaranteed or insured.  Yields of other money market funds may not be
comparable if a different base or another method of calculation is used.

Additional Tax Information

         NOTE:  INFORMATION  CONTAINED  HEREIN SHOULD NOT BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE
ADVICE  OF A  PERSONAL  TAX  ADVISER.  JACKSON  NATIONAL  NY DOES  NOT  MAKE ANY
GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX STATUS OF ANY CONTRACT OR ANY TRANSACTION  INVOLVING
THE CONTRACTS.  PURCHASERS  BEAR THE COMPLETE RISK THAT THE CONTRACTS MAY NOT BE
TREATED AS  "ANNUITY  CONTRACTS"  UNDER  FEDERAL  INCOME TAX LAWS.  IT SHOULD BE
FURTHER  UNDERSTOOD  THAT THE FOLLOWING  DISCUSSION IS NOT  EXHAUSTIVE  AND THAT
SPECIAL  RULES NOT  DESCRIBED IN THIS  PROSPECTUS  MAY BE  APPLICABLE IN CERTAIN
SITUATIONS.  MOREOVER, NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CONSIDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE
OR OTHER TAX LAWS.

General

         Section  72 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended  (the
"Code"),  governs  taxation of annuities in general.  An individual owner is not
taxed on increases in the value of a contract until distribution occurs,  either
in the form of a  withdrawal  or as annuity  payments  under the annuity  option
elected.  For a withdrawal  received as a total surrender (total redemption or a
death  benefit),  the  recipient  is taxed on the  portion of the  payment  that
exceeds  the cost basis of the  contract.  For a payment  received  as a partial
withdrawal,  federal tax liability is determined on a last-in,  first-out basis,
meaning  taxable  income is  withdrawn  before the cost basis of the contract is
withdrawn. For contracts issued in connection with non-qualified plans, the cost
basis is generally the premiums,  while for contracts  issued in connection with
qualified plans there may be no cost basis.  The taxable portion of a withdrawal
is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Tax penalties may also apply.

         For  annuity  payments,  a  portion  of each  payment  in  excess of an
exclusion  amount is includable  in taxable  income.  The  exclusion  amount for
payments  based on a fixed  annuity  option is  determined  by  multiplying  the
payment  by the ratio  that the cost  basis of the  contract  (adjusted  for any
period  certain  or  refund  feature)  bears to the  expected  return  under the
contract.  The exclusion  amount for payments based on a variable annuity option
is  determined  by dividing  the cost basis of the  contract  (adjusted  for any
period  certain  or refund  guarantee)  by the  number of years  over  which the
annuity is expected to be paid.  Payments  received  after the investment in the
contract  has been  recovered  (i.e.  when the total of the  excludable  amounts
equals the investment in the contract) are fully taxable. The taxable portion is
taxed at ordinary  income tax rates.  For certain types of qualified plans there
may be no cost basis in the  contract  within  the  meaning of Section 72 of the
Code.  Owners,  annuitants  and  beneficiaries  under the contracts  should seek
competent financial advice about the tax consequences of distributions.

         Jackson  National  NY is taxed as a life  insurance  company  under the
Code.  For federal income tax purposes,  the Separate  Account is not a separate
entity  from  Jackson  National  NY and its  operations  form a part of  Jackson
National NY.

Withholding Tax on Distributions

         The Code generally  requires  Jackson National NY (or, in some cases, a
plan  administrator)  to withhold tax on the taxable portion of any distribution
or  withdrawal  from a contract.  For  "eligible  rollover  distributions"  from
contracts issued under certain types of qualified plans, 20% of the distribution
must be withheld, unless the payee elects to have the distribution "rolled over"
to another eligible plan in a direct transfer. This requirement is mandatory and
cannot be waived by the owner.

         An "eligible rollover distribution" is the estimated taxable portion of
any amount  received by a covered  employee from a plan qualified  under Section
401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, or from a tax sheltered  annuity  qualified  under
Section  403(b)  of the Code  (other  than (1) a series of  substantially  equal
annuity  payments for the life (or life  expectancy)  of the employee,  or joint
lives (or joint life  expectancies)  of the employee,  and his or her designated
beneficiary,  or for a  specified  period of ten years or more;  and (2) minimum
distributions  required to be made under the Code).  Failure to  "rollover"  the
entire amount of an eligible rollover distribution (including an amount equal to
the 20% portion of the  distribution  that was withheld)  could have adverse tax
consequences,   including   the   imposition  of  a  penalty  tax  on  premature
withdrawals, described later in this section.

         Withdrawals  or  distributions  from a  contract  other  than  eligible
rollover  distributions are also subject to withholding on the estimated taxable
portion of the distribution,  but the owner may elect in such cases to waive the
withholding requirement.  If not waived, withholding is imposed (1) for periodic
payments,  at the rate that would be imposed if the payments were wages,  or (2)
for  other  distributions,  at the  rate of  10%.  If no  withholding  exemption
certificate is in effect for the payee,  the rate under (1) above is computed by
treating the payee as a married individual claiming 3 withholding exemptions.

         Generally,  the amount of any  payment of  interest  to a  non-resident
alien of the United  States  shall be subject to  withholding  of a tax equal to
thirty (30%)  percent of such amount or, if  applicable,  a lower treaty rate. A
payment  may not be  subject to  withholding  where the  recipient  sufficiently
establishes  that such  payment  is  effectively  connected  to the  recipient's
conduct of a trade or business in the United States and such payment is included
in recipient's gross income.

Diversification -- Separate Account Investments

         Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain diversification standards on
the underlying  assets of variable annuity  contracts.  The Code provides that a
variable  annuity  contract  will not be treated as an annuity  contract for any
period (and any subsequent  period) for which the investments are not adequately
diversified,  in  accordance  with  regulations  prescribed by the United States
Treasury Department ("Treasury Department"). Disqualification of the contract as
an annuity  contract  would result in  imposition  of federal  income tax to the
owner with respect to earnings allocable to the contract prior to the receipt of
payments  under the contract.  The Code contains a safe harbor  provision  which
provides that annuity  contracts such as the contracts meet the  diversification
requirements if, as of the close of each calendar quarter, the underlying assets
meet the diversification  standards for a regulated  investment company,  and no
more than 55% of the total assets consist of cash, cash items,  U.S.  government
securities and securities of other regulated investment companies.

         The   Treasury   Department   has   issued   Regulations   establishing
diversification  requirements for the investment  portfolios underlying variable
contracts. The Regulations amplify the diversification requirements for variable
contracts  set forth in the Code and provide an  alternative  to the safe harbor
provision described above. Under the Regulations,  an investment  portfolio will
be  deemed  adequately  diversified  if (1) no more than 55% of the value of the
total assets of the portfolio is represented by any one investment;  (2) no more
than 70% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any
two  investments;  (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total  assets of the
portfolio is represented by any three  investments;  and (4) no more than 90% of
the  value of the total  assets  of the  portfolio  is  represented  by any four
investments.

         Jackson  National NY intends  that each series of the JNL Series  Trust
will be  managed  by its  respective  investment  adviser in such a manner as to
comply with these diversification requirements.

         The  Treasury   Department  has  indicated  that  the   diversification
Regulations  do not  provide  guidance  regarding  the  circumstances  in  which
contract owner control of the investments of the Separate Account will cause the
contract owner to be treated as the owner of the assets of the Separate Account,
thereby  resulting in the loss of favorable tax  treatment of the  contract.  At
this time it cannot be determined whether  additional  guidance will be provided
and what standards may be contained in such guidance.

         The amount of owner control  which may be exercised  under the contract
is different in some respects from the situations addressed in published rulings
issued by the  Internal  Revenue  Service  in which it was held that the  policy
owner was not the owner of the  assets of the  separate  account.  It is unknown
whether  these  differences,  such as the  owner's  ability  to  transfer  among
investment choices or the number and type of investment choices available, would
cause the owner to be  considered  as the  owner of the  assets of the  Separate
Account  resulting  in the  imposition  of federal  income tax to the owner with
respect to earnings allocable to the contract prior to receipt of payments under
the contract.

         In the event any  forthcoming  guidance or ruling is  considered to set
forth a new  position,  such  guidance or ruling will  generally be applied only
prospectively.  However,  if such ruling or guidance was not  considered  to set
forth a new  position,  it may be applied  retroactively  resulting in the owner
being  retroactively  determined  to be the owner of the assets of the  Separate
Account.

         Due to the uncertainty in this area,  Jackson  National NY reserves the
right to modify the contract in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.

Multiple Contracts

         The Code  provides  that multiple  annuity  contracts  which are issued
within  a  calendar  year to the  same  contract  owner  by one  company  or its
affiliates are treated as one annuity  contract for purposes of determining  the
tax consequences of any  distribution.  Such treatment may result in adverse tax
consequences  including more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such
multiple contracts. Owners should consult a tax adviser prior to purchasing more
than one annuity contract in any calendar year.

Contracts Owned by Other than Natural Persons

         Under Section 72(u) of the Code,  the  investment  earnings on premiums
for contracts will be taxed currently to the owner if the owner is a non-natural
person, e.g., a corporation or certain other entities.  Such contracts generally
will not be treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes.  However, this
treatment  is not  applied to  contracts  held by a trust or other  entity as an
agent for a natural  person nor to contracts  held by certain  qualified  plans.
Purchasers  should  consult  their own tax counsel or other tax  adviser  before
purchasing a contract to be owned by a non-natural person.

Tax Treatment of Assignments

         An  assignment or pledge of a contract may have tax  consequences,  and
may also be prohibited by ERISA in some circumstances. Owners should, therefore,
consult  competent  legal  advisers  should they wish to assign or pledge  their
contracts.

Qualified Plans

         The contracts offered by the Prospectus are designed to be suitable for
use under various types of qualified plans. Taxation of owners in each qualified
plan  varies  with the type of plan and terms and  conditions  of each  specific
plan.  Owners,  annuitants and beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a
qualified  plan  may be  subject  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of the  plan,
regardless of the terms and conditions of the contracts issued to fund the plan.

Tax Treatment of Withdrawals

Non-Qualified Plans

         Section 72 of the Code governs treatment of distributions  from annuity
contracts. It provides that if the contract value exceeds the aggregate Premiums
made, any amount withdrawn not in the form of an annuity payment will be treated
as coming  first from the earnings  and then,  only after the income  portion is
exhausted,  as coming from the principal.  Withdrawn  earnings are included in a
taxpayer's  gross  income.  Section 72 further  provides that a 10% penalty will
apply to the income portion of any  distribution.  The penalty is not imposed on
amounts  received:  (1) after the taxpayer reaches 59 1/2; (2) upon the death of
the  owner;  (3) if the  taxpayer  is  totally  disabled  as  defined in Section
72(m)(7) of the Code; (4) in a series of substantially  equal periodic  payments
made at least annually for the life (or life  expectancy) of the taxpayer or for
the  joint  lives  (or  joint  life   expectancies)  of  the  taxpayer  and  his
beneficiary;  (5) under an  immediate  annuity;  or (6) which are  allocable  to
premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

Qualified Plans

         In the case of a  withdrawal  under a  qualified  contract,  a  ratable
portion of the amount  received is taxable,  generally based on the ratio of the
individual's  cost basis to the  individual's  total  accrued  benefit under the
retirement  plan.  Special tax rules may be available for certain  distributions
from a qualified  contract.  Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax
on the taxable  portion of any  distribution  from qualified  retirement  plans,
including  contracts  issued and qualified  under Code Sections 401 (H.R. 10 and
Corporate Pension and Profit Sharing plans),  403(b)  (tax-sheltered  annuities)
and 408 and 408A (IRAs).  To the extent amounts are not included in gross income
because  they have been rolled over to an IRA or to another  eligible  qualified
plan, no tax penalty will be imposed.

         The tax penalty will not apply to the following  distributions:  (1) if
distribution  is made on or after the date on which the owner or  annuitant  (as
applicable)  reaches  age 59 1/2;  (2)  distributions  following  the  death  or
disability  of  the  owner  or  annuitant  (as  applicable)  (for  this  purpose
"disability" is defined in Section  72(m)(7) of the Code);  (3) after separation
from  service,  distributions  that are  part of  substantially  equal  periodic
payments  made  not  less  frequently  than  annually  for  the  life  (or  life
expectancy)  of the owner or annuitant  (as  applicable)  or the joint lives (or
joint life  expectancies)  of such owner or annuitant (as applicable) and his or
her  designated  beneficiary;  (4)  distributions  to an owner or annuitant  (as
applicable)  who has  separated  from service  after he has attained age 55; (5)
distributions  made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such
distributions  do not exceed  the amount  allowable  as a  deduction  under Code
Section 213 to the owner or annuitant  (as  applicable)  for amounts paid during
the taxable year for medical care; (6) distributions  made to an alternate payee
pursuant to a qualified  domestic relations order; (7) distributions from an IRA
for the purchase of medical  insurance (as described in Section  213(d)(1)(D) of
the Code) for the contract  owner or annuitant  (as  applicable)  and his or her
spouse and  dependents if the contract  owner or annuitant (as  applicable)  has
received unemployment  compensation for at least 12 weeks(this exception will no
longer apply after the  contract  owner or annuitant  (as  applicable)  has been
re-employed  for at  least  60  days);  (8)  distributions  from  an  Individual
Retirement  Annuity made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent
such  distributions do not exceed the qualified  higher  education  expenses (as
defined  in  Section  72(t)(7)  of the  Code)  of the  owner  or  annuitant  (as
applicable)  for the taxable  year;  and (9)  distributions  from an  Individual
Retirement  Annuity made to the owner or  annuitant  (as  applicable)  which are
qualified first-time home buyer distributions (as defined in Section 72(t)(8) of
the Code).  The exception  stated in items (4) and (6) above do not apply in the
case of an IRA. The exception  stated in (3) above applies to an IRA without the
requirement that there be a separation from service.

         Withdrawals of amounts attributable to contributions made pursuant to a
salary reduction  agreement (in accordance with Section  403(b)(11) of the Code)
are limited to the following:  when the owner attains age 59 1/2, separates from
services,  dies, becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the
Code),  or in the case of  hardship.  Hardship  withdrawals  do not  include any
earnings on salary  reduction  contributions.  These  limitations on withdrawals
apply to: (1) salary reduction  contributions  made after December 31, 1988; (2)
income  attributable  to such  contributions;  and (3)  income  attributable  to
amounts held as of December 31, 1988.  The  limitations  on  withdrawals  do not
affect rollovers or exchanges between certain qualified plans. Tax penalties may
also apply.  While the  foregoing  limitations  only apply to certain  contracts
issued in connection with Section 403(b) qualified plans, all owners should seek
competent tax advice regarding any withdrawals or distributions.

         The taxable  portion of a withdrawal  or  distribution  from  contracts
issued under certain types of plans may,  under some  circumstances,  be "rolled
over" into  another  eligible  plan so as to continue to defer income tax on the
taxable portion.  Effective  January 1, 1993, such treatment is available for an
"eligible  rollover  distribution"  made by certain types of plans (as described
above under "Taxes --  Withholding  Tax on  Distributions")  that is transferred
within 60 days of receipt into another eligible plan or an IRA, or an individual
retirement  account  described in section 408(a) of the Code.  Plans making such
eligible  rollover  distributions  are  also  required,   with  some  exceptions
specified in the Code, to provide for a direct  transfer of the  distribution to
the transferee plan designated by the recipient.

         Amounts  received  from IRAs may also be rolled  over into other  IRAs,
individual  retirement  accounts or certain other plans,  subject to limitations
set forth in the Code.

         Generally,  distributions  from a qualified plan must commence no later
than  April 1 of the  calendar  year  following  the year in which the  employee
attains  the  later of age 70 1/2 or the date of  retirement.  In the case of an
IRA,  distribution  must  commence  no later than April 1 of the  calendar  year
following the year in which the owner attains age 70 1/2. Required distributions
must be  over a  period  not  exceeding  the  life  or  life  expectancy  of the
individual or the joint lives or life  expectancies of the individual and his or
her designated beneficiary.  If the required minimum distributions are not made,
a 50% penalty tax is imposed as to the amount not distributed.

Types of Qualified Plans

         The following are general  descriptions of the types of qualified plans
with which the contracts may be used. Such  descriptions  are not exhaustive and
are for general  information  purposes only. The tax rules  regarding  qualified
plans  are very  complex  and will  have  differing  applications  depending  on
individual facts and  circumstances.  Each purchaser should obtain competent tax
advice prior to purchasing a contract issued under a qualified plan.

         Contracts issued pursuant to qualified plans include special provisions
restricting contract provisions that may otherwise be available and described in
this Prospectus. Generally, contracts issued pursuant to qualified plans are not
transferable except upon surrender or annuitization.  Various penalty and excise
taxes  may  apply  to  contributions  or  distributions  made  in  violation  of
applicable   limitations.   Furthermore,   certain   withdrawal   penalties  and
restrictions may apply to surrenders from qualified plan contracts.

         (a) H.R. 10 Plans

                  Section 401 of the Code permits  self-employed  individuals to
         establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees,  commonly
         referred to as "H.R.  10" or "Keogh" Plans.  Contributions  made to the
         plan for the benefit of the employees will not be included in the gross
         income  of the  employees  until  distributed  from the  plan.  The tax
         consequences  to owners may vary  depending  upon the  particular  plan
         design.  However,  the Code places  limitations and restrictions on all
         plans on such  items as:  amounts  of  allowable  contributions;  form,
         manner  and  timing  of  distributions;  transferability  of  benefits;
         vesting  and  non-forfeitability  of  interests;  nondiscrimination  in
         eligibility and participation;  and the tax treatment of distributions,
         withdrawals  and  surrenders.  Purchasers  of contracts for use with an
         H.R. 10 Plan should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment
         and suitability of such an investment.

         (b) Tax-Sheltered Annuities

                  Section   403(b)  of  the  Code   permits   the   purchase  of
         "tax-sheltered  annuities"  by public  schools and certain  charitable,
         educational  and scientific  organizations  described in Section 501(c)
         (3) of the Code. These qualifying  employers may make  contributions to
         the contracts for the benefit of their  employees.  Such  contributions
         are not included in the gross income of the employee until the employee
         receives  distributions from the contract.  The amount of contributions
         to the tax-sheltered  annuity is limited to certain maximums imposed by
         the Code.  Furthermore,  the Code sets  forth  additional  restrictions
         governing    such    items    as    transferability,     distributions,
         non-discrimination  and  withdrawals.  Employee  loans are not  allowed
         under these contracts.  Any employee should obtain competent tax advice
         as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

         (c) Individual Retirement Annuities

                  Section  408(b) of the Code permits  eligible  individuals  to
         contribute to an individual  retirement program known as an "Individual
         Retirement  Annuity"  ("IRA").  Under applicable  limitations,  certain
         amounts may be contributed to an IRA which will be deductible  from the
         individual's  gross income.  These IRAs are subject to  limitations  on
         eligibility, contributions, transferability and distributions. Sales of
         contracts for use with IRAs are subject to special requirements imposed
         by the Code,  including  the  requirement  that  certain  informational
         disclosure be given to persons desiring to establish an IRA. Purchasers
         of contracts to be qualified as IRAs should obtain competent tax advice
         as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

         (d) Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

                  Sections  401(a)  and  401(k)  of the  Code  permit  corporate
         employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees.
         These  retirement  plans may permit the  purchase of the  contracts  to
         provide  benefits  under  the plan.  Contributions  to the plan for the
         benefit of  employees  will not be included in the gross  income of the
         employee  until  distributed  from the plan.  The tax  consequences  to
         owners may vary depending upon the particular plan design. However, the
         Code  places  limitations  on all  plans  on such  items as  amount  of
         allowable  contributions;  form,  manner and  timing of  distributions;
         vesting  and  non-forfeitability  of  interests;  nondiscrimination  in
         eligibility and participation;  and the tax treatment of distributions,
         transferability of benefits, withdrawals and surrenders.  Purchasers of
         contracts for use with corporate pension or profit sharing plans should
         obtain  competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of
         such an investment.

         (e) Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans -- Section 457

                  Under Section 457 of the Code,  governmental and certain other
         tax-exempt employers may establish, for the benefit of their employees,
         deferred compensation plans which may invest in annuity contracts.  The
         Code, as in the case of qualified  plans,  establishes  limitations and
         restrictions on eligibility,  contributions  and  distributions.  Under
         these plans,  contributions  made for the benefit of the employees will
         not be included in the employees'  gross income until  distributed from
         the plan.

         (f) Roth IRAs

                  Beginning  in 1998,  individuals  may  purchase  a new type of
         non-deductible  IRA, known as a Roth IRA.  Purchase payments for a Roth
         IRA are  limited  to a  maximum  of  $2,000  per  year.  Lower  maximum
         limitations  apply to individuals  with adjusted gross incomes  between
         $95,000 and $110,000 in the case of single taxpayers,  between $150,000
         and $160,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and
         between  $0 and  $10,000  in  the  case  of  married  taxpayers  filing
         separately.  An overall $2,000 annual limitation  continues to apply to
         all of a taxpayer's IRA contributions, including Roth IRAs and non-Roth
         IRAs.

                  Qualified  distributions  from Roth IRAs are free from federal
         income tax. A qualified  distribution  requires that the individual has
         held the Roth IRA for at least five years and,  in  addition,  that the
         distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on
         the individual's death or disability, or as a qualified first-time home
         purchase,  subject to a $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual, a
         spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor. Any distribution which is not a
         qualified  distribution  is taxable to the  extent of  earnings  in the
         distribution.  Distributions  are  treated  as made from  contributions
         first and therefore no  distributions  are taxable until  distributions
         exceed the amount of contributions to the Roth IRA. The 10% penalty tax
         and the regular IRA  exceptions to the 10% penalty tax apply to taxable
         distributions from a Roth IRA.

                  Amounts may be rolled  over from one Roth IRA to another  Roth
         IRA. Furthermore, an individual may make a rollover contribution from a
         non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA,  unless the  individual  has adjusted gross
         income over $100,000 or the individual is a married  taxpayer  filing a
         separate return.  The individual must pay tax on any portion of the IRA
         being rolled over that represents income or a previously deductible IRA
         contribution.  However,  for rollovers in 1998,  the individual may pay
         that tax ratably over the four taxable year periods  beginning with the
         tax year 1998.  There are no similar  limitations  on rollovers  from a
         Roth IRA to another Roth IRA.

Income Payments; Net Investment Factor

         See "Income Payments (The Income Phase)" in the Prospectus.

         The net  investment  factor  is an index  applied  to  measure  the net
investment performance of an investment portfolio from one valuation date to the
next.  Since the net  investment  factor may be greater or less than or equal to
one, and the factor that offsets the 3% investment rate assumed is slightly less
than one, the value of an annuity  unit (which  changes with the product of that
factor) and the net investment may increase, decrease or remain the same.

         The  net  investment  factor  for  any  investment  portfolio  for  any
valuation  period is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then  subtracting (c)
from the result where:

         (a) is the net result of:

                  (1)      the net  asset  value of a series  share  held in the
                           investment  portfolio  determined as of the valuation
                           date at the end of the valuation period, plus

                  (2)      the  per  share  amount  of  any  dividend  or  other
                           distribution   declared   by   the   series   if  the
                           "ex-dividend"   date  occurs   during  the  valuation
                           period, plus or minus

                  (3)      a per  share  credit or charge  with  respect  to any
                           taxes paid or  reserved  for by Jackson  National  NY
                           during the valuation  period which are  determined by
                           Jackson   National  NY  to  be  attributable  to  the
                           operation  of the  investment  portfolio  (no federal
                           income taxes are applicable under present law);

         (b)      is the  net  asset  value  of the  series  share  held  in the
                  investment  portfolio  determined as of the valuation  date at
                  the end of the preceding valuation period; and

         (c)      is the asset charge factor  determined by Jackson  National NY
                  for the  valuation  period to reflect the charges for assuming
                  the mortality and expense risks and the administration charge.

                  2

Item 28.  Indemnification

         Provision is made in the Company's By-Laws for  indemnification  by the
Company  of any  person  made or  threatened  to be made a party to an action or
proceeding, whether civil or criminal by reason of the fact that he or she is or
was a director,  officer or employee of the Company or then serves or has served
any other  corporation  in any capacity at the request of the  Company,  against
expenses,  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in  settlement  to the full extent
that officers and directors are permitted to be  indemnified  by the laws of the
State of New York.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933  ("Act") may be  permitted to  directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions,  or otherwise,  the
Company 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  liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred
or paid by a  director,  officer  or  controlling  person of the  Company 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,  the Company  will,  unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

JACKSON  NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE  COMPANY OF NEW YORK ("the Company")  agrees to
provide  benefits  to the  Owner  subject  to the  provisions  set forth in this
contract and in consideration of the application and Premiums We receive.

The value of amounts  allocated to the Separate  Account during the accumulation
and Annuity  periods is not  guaranteed  and may increase or decrease based upon
the investment  experience of the Fund underlying the Separate  Account.  If the
actual investment rates experienced by the Separate Account assets are less than
4.4%, variable Annuity payments will decrease over time.

The Guaranteed  Period  Contract Value is subject to an Interest Rate Adjustment
which may increase or decrease amounts payable or withdrawn,  but the Guaranteed
Period Withdrawal Value will never decrease to less than the Guaranteed  Minimum
Value.

You may withdraw the Contract  Value held under any  Guaranteed  Period  without
Interest  Rate  Adjustment  provided We receive  written  notice  within 30 days
following the end of the corresponding Guaranteed Period.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  NOTICE OF TWENTY-DAY RIGHT TO EXAMINE POLICY
You may return  this  contract  to the selling  agent or Jackson  National  Life
Insurance  Company of New York within 20 days after You receive it. Upon receipt
of this  contract,  the Company  will refund the full  premium  allocated to the
Guaranteed  Periods.  The Company will also refund the amounts  allocated to the
Separate  Account  less the amount  credited to the  Separate  Account  plus the
Separate Account Contract Value. Upon such refund,  this contract shall be void.
The  effective  date of the  surrender,  and the date the funds in the  Separate
Account will be Valued, will be the date the contract was mailed to the Company,
or returned to Your selling agent.

ACCUMULATION  UNIT. A unit of measurement  used to compute Your Separate Account
Contract Value prior to the Income Date.

ANNUITANT.  The  natural  person  on whose  life the  Annuity  benefit  for this

ANNUITY.  In general, a contract purchased from an insurance company that offers
tax-deferred  growth of the Owner's  investment  until  earnings are  withdrawn.
There are two types of Annuities: fixed and variable.

       A  Fixed  Annuity  has a  minimum  rate  of  interest  guaranteed  by the
       insurance  company  prior to the  Income  Date.  After the  Income  Date,
       payments are  guaranteed and remain fixed in amount and length of payment
       period.

       A Variable Annuity's rate of return is not guaranteed. It is based on the
       performance of the underlying  investments  the Owner has selected.  If a
       variable  payout is  elected,  the  amount  of each  payment  may  change
       depending upon the performance of the underlying investments.

received under the Income Option you have elected.

CODE. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

following  year.  The   Contribution   Year  in  which  a  Premium  is  made  is
"Contribution  Year 1." Subsequent years are  consecutively  numbered  beginning
with Contribution Year 2.

FUND.  The JNL Series Trust.

GUARANTEED MINIMUM VALUE. The net amount of Premiums allocated to the Guaranteed
Periods, less transfers,  withdrawals and associated Withdrawal Charges from the
Guaranteed  Periods,  and less any contract  maintenance  charges that have been
assessed  against  the  Guaranteed  Periods,   accumulated  at  3.0%,  less  any
Withdrawal Charge, contract maintenance charge, or Premium tax due.

ASSIGNMENT.  The Owner may assign this contract  before the Income Date, but the
Company will not be bound by an assignment  unless it is in writing and has been
received by the  Company.  The  assignment  will be effective as of the date the
appropriate form was signed. We assume no responsibility for the validity or tax
consequences  of any  assignment.  If  the  contract  is  issued  pursuant  to a
Qualified Plan, it may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred, except
as may be allowed  under the Plan. If the Owner makes an  assignment,  the Owner
may have to pay income tax.

BENEFICIARY. The beneficiary is as named in the application unless later changed
by the Owner.  If two or more persons are named,  those surviving the Owner will
share equally unless otherwise stated.  If there are no surviving  beneficiaries
at the death of the Owner,  the death  benefit will be paid to the estate of the
Owner.

The Owner may change the beneficiary by written notice in a form satisfactory to
the Company. The change will occur on the date We receive the notice. The change
will be effective as of the date the appropriate form was signed.

CONFORMITY WITH STATE LAWS. This contract will be interpreted  under the laws of
the State of New York when it is issued. Any provision which, on the Issue Date,
is in  conflict  with New  York  law,  is  amended  to  conform  to the  minimum
requirements of such law.

CONTRACT  MAINTENANCE  CHARGE. An annual contract  maintenance charge of no more
than $30 is charged  against each contract.  This charge  reimburses the Company
for expenses  incurred in  establishing  and maintaining  records  relating to a
contract.  The contract  maintenance charge will be assessed on each anniversary
of the Issue Date that occurs on or prior to the Income Date.  In the event that
a total withdrawal is made, the contract  maintenance charge will be assessed as
of the date of withdrawal  without  proration.  The total  contract  maintenance
charge is allocated  between the  Portfolio(s)  and the Guaranteed  Period(s) in
proportion to the respective Contract Values similarly allocated.

ENTIRE  CONTRACT.  This contract was issued in consideration of Your application
and payment of the initial Premium. All of its pages, the application, a copy of

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS (CONT'D)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODIFICATION  OF  CONTRACT.  Any  change  or waiver  of the  provisions  of this
Contract must be in writing and signed by the President,  a Vice President,  the
Secretary or  Assistant  Secretary  of the  Company.  No agent has  authority to
change or waive any provisions of this contract.  The Company reserves the right
to change or modify the contract  without  prior consent or notice if federal or
state law  requires Us to do so. Any such  modifications  will be subject to the
New York State Insurance Department's prior approval.

NONPARTICIPATING. This contract does not share in Our surplus or earnings.

PREMIUMS.  Premiums  are  flexible.  This  means  that the Owner may  change the
amounts,  frequency or timing of Premiums.  The initial Premium must be at least
$5,000  for  Non-Qualified   Contracts  and  $2,000  for  Qualified   Contracts.
Subsequent  Premiums  must be at least $500 ($50 if made in  connection  with an
automatic payment plan). The Company reserves the right to refuse total Premiums
under this  contract in excess of  $1,000,000  without  prior  approval from the
Company. The Company may waive minimum Premium amounts.

Premiums may be allocated among one or more of the Guaranteed Periods and one or
more of the Portfolios. Such election may be made in any percent from 0% to 100%
in whole  percentages.  The minimum that may be allocated to a Guaranteed Period
or a Portfolio under this contract is $100.

Just like initial  Premiums,  Owners making  subsequent  Premium payments should
specify how they want their  Premiums  allocated.  Otherwise,  the Company  will
automatically  process the Premium based on the most recent allocation on record
with the Company.

PREMIUM TAXES.  The Company may deduct from the Contract Value any Premium taxes
or other taxes payable to a state or other government entity.  Should we advance
any amount due, we are not waiving any right to collect  such amounts at a later
date. We will deduct any withholding taxes required by applicable law.

PROOF OF AGE, SEX OR  SURVIVAL.  The Company may require  satisfactory  proof of
correct age or sex at any time. If any payment  under this  contract  depends on
the  Annuitant,  Owner,  or  beneficiary  being  alive,  the Company may require
satisfactory proof of survival.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT.  The Separate Account is a separate  investment account of the
Company  but is  subject  to the  laws of New  York  state.  It is  shown on the
contract data page.  The assets of the Separate  Account are the property of the
Company.  However,  they are not  credited  with  earnings  or  chargeable  with
liabilities  arising out of any other  business  the Company may  conduct.  Each
Portfolio is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other Portfolio.

SUSPENSION OR DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS. We may suspend or postpone any payments from
the contract if any of the following occur:
a)       The New York Stock Exchange is closed;
b)       Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is  restricted;  
c)       An emergency exists such that it is not reasonably practical to dispose
         of securities in the Separate  Account or to determine the value of its
         assets;  or 
d)       The Securities and Exchange  Commission,  by order,  so permits for the
         protection of security holders.

This provision will only apply to the Separate Account funds.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT.  We will  provide a statement of Contract  Values at least
quarterly.

Pursuant  to New York state law, we will also  provide  you with a report  every
Contract Year on your anniversary.

SUBSTITUTION  OF FUND.  If the shares of any series of the Fund should no longer
be available for  investment  by the Separate  Account or if, in the judgment of
our Board of Directors,  further investment in the shares of a Fund is no longer
appropriate in view of the purpose of the contract,  We may substitute shares of
another  mutual fund or a series  within a mutual  fund for Fund shares  already
purchased or to be purchased in the future by Premiums held under this contract.
No  substitution  of securities may take place without prior approval of the New
York Insurance Department, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, under any
such requirements as it may impose.

WRITTEN NOTICE. Any notice we send to the Owner will be sent to the Owner's last
known address unless the Owner requests otherwise. Any written request or notice
must be sent to the Company.  The Owner must  promptly  provide the Company with
notice of an address change.

                     ACCUMULATION PROVISIONS FOR PORTFOLIOS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCUMULATION  UNIT VALUE. The Separate Account Contract Value will go up or down
depending on the performance of the Portfolios. In order to monitor the Separate
Account  Contract  Value  before the Income  Date,  the  Company  uses a unit of
measure called an Accumulation Unit. The value of an Accumulation Unit may go up
or down from day to day. During the income payout phase,  the unit of measure is
called an Annuity Unit (please see Income Provisions for further information).

Every Valuation Day the Company determines the value of an Accumulation Unit for
each of the Portfolios. This is done by:

(1) determining the total amount of money invested in the particular  Portfolio;
(2) subtracting from the amount any insurance charges and any other charges such
as taxes; and (3) dividing this amount by the number of outstanding Accumulation
Units.

When  you make a  Premium  payment,  the  Company  credits  Your  contract  with
Accumulation  Units. The number of Accumulation  Units credited is determined by
dividing the amount of the Premium  allocated  to any  Portfolio by the value of
the Accumulation Unit for that Portfolio.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  ACCUMULATION PROVISIONS FOR GUARANTEED PERIOD
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREDITING  OF  INTEREST.  Interest  is  credited  and  compounded  daily to each
Guaranteed  Period  to yield an  effective  annual  interest  rate  equal to the
interest rate we guaranteed at the beginning of each Guaranteed  Period. We will
credit  interest to the initial  Premium  payment  from the Issue Date.  We will
credit  interest to subsequent  Premiums from the date We receive them. The rate
of  interest  for each  Guaranteed  Period will be as declared in advance by our
Board of Directors but will never be less than 3%.

GUARANTEED  PERIOD.  You may allocate  Premium or make  transfers to one or more
Guaranteed Periods at any time prior to the Latest Income Date.

If you do not specify a Guaranteed Period at the time of renewal,  we will elect
the same Guaranteed  Period that has just expired.  Within at least 15 days, but
not more than 45 days, prior to the end of any Guaranteed Period, We will notify
You of your ability to: 
a)       withdraw  amounts  allocated to the  Guaranteed  Period  within 30 days
         following the end of such  Guaranteed  Period  without an Interest Rate
         Adjustment;
b)       elect a  Guaranteed  Period  of a  different  duration  within  30 days
         following the end of such Guaranteed Period;
c)       elect a transfer to  Portfolio(s)  within 30 days  following the end of
         such Guaranteed Period; or
d)       elect a  Guaranteed  Period  with  the  same  duration  within  30 days
         following the end of such Guaranteed Period.

If the Guaranteed  Period elected extends beyond the Latest Income Date, We will
automatically elect the longest period that will not extend beyond such date. If
a renewal  occurs  within one year of the Latest  Income  Date,  We will  credit
interest up to the Latest  Income Date at the then current  declared  guaranteed
interest rate for the one-year Guaranteed Period.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             ACCUMULATION PROVISIONS FOR GUARANTEED PERIOD (CONT'D)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT. Except during the 30-day period following the end of a
Guaranteed  Period, any amount withdrawn or transferred from a Guaranteed Period
will be subject to an Interest Rate  Adjustment.  The Interest  Rate  Adjustment
will  be  calculated  by  multiplying  the  amount  withdrawn,   transferred  or
annuitized by the formula described below:
                          (m/12)
                     [1+I]
                     --------------   -1
                          (m/12)
                     [1+J]         
wherein:

I =      The interest rate credited to the current Guaranteed Period.

J =      The interest rate that would be credited,  at the time of withdrawal,
         to a new Guaranteed Period with a duration equal to the number of years
         remaining in the current Guaranteed Period, increased by 0.25%. When no
         Guaranteed Period of the required duration is available,  the rate will
         be established by linear interpolation.
m =      Number  of  complete  months  remaining  to the  end of the  current
         Guaranteed Period.

There will be no Interest Rate  Adjustment  when J is greater than I but by less
than 0.25%.

In addition, the Interest Rate Adjustment will not apply to:

a)       the payment of death benefit proceeds;
b)       amounts withdrawn for contract fees or charges;
c)       transfers   relating  to  dollar  cost   averaging  from  the  one-year
         Guaranteed Period;
d)       withdrawals  taken  in  the  30-day  period  following  the  end  of  a
         Guaranteed Period;
e)       cumulative  withdrawals  or  transfers  of up to 10% of the  Guaranteed
         Period value in the Contract Year;
f)       income options that result in payments of 5 years or greater; or
g)       amounts transferred or withdrawn from any one-year guaranteed option.

In no event will a total withdrawal from the Guaranteed Periods be less than the
Guaranteed Minimum Value.

If the Company no longer issues guaranteed rate contracts, then items I and J of
the Interest  Rate  Adjustment  will be  determined  by using the asked yield to
maturity of the U.S. Treasury Notes with the same remaining term,  interpolating
where necessary,  as published in The Wall Street Journal on the next succeeding
business day following the effective date of the Interest Rate Adjustment.

                               TRANSFER PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS.  Transfers between  Portfolios and the Guaranteed Periods may be made
as described below.  Transfers are not subject to Withdrawal  Charges.  However,
transfers from the Guaranteed Periods will be subject to any applicable Interest
Rate  Adjustment.  A transfer fee of no more than $25.00 will apply to transfers
in excess of 15 in a Contract Year.  The dollar cost  averaging and  rebalancing
options are not considered  transfers for purposes of  calculating  the transfer
fee.

The minimum transfer amount is $100. The remaining Contract Value of a Portfolio
or Guaranteed Period after a transfer must be at least $100. If a transfer would
cause  a  remaining  value  to be  less  than  $100,  all of the  value  must be
transferred, or no transfer can take place.

FROM PORTFOLIO TO PORTFOLIO.  Both prior to and after the Income Date, the Owner
may  transfer  all or a  portion  of  investment  in one  Portfolio  to  another
Portfolio.  A transfer  will result in the purchase of  Accumulation  Units in a
Portfolio and redemption of Accumulation Units in the other Portfolio. Transfers
will be effected  at the end of the  Valuation  Period in which We receive  your
request for transfer.

FROM PORTFOLIO TO THE GUARANTEED PERIOD. Prior to the Income Date, the Owner may
transfer all or a portion of the value in Portfolio(s)  to a Guaranteed  Period.
This will result in the redemption of Accumulation Units and will be effected at
the end of the  Valuation  Period in which We receive  the  Owner's  request for
transfer.

FROM GUARANTEED PERIOD TO GUARANTEED PERIOD. Prior to the Income Date, transfers
may be made  between  Guaranteed  Periods.  Such  transfers,  other  than from a
maturing  Guaranteed  Period within the 30-day period  following its expiration,
will be subject to any applicable Interest Rate Adjustments.

GUARANTEED  PERIOD TO  PORTFOLIO(S).  Prior to the  Income  Date,  the Owner may
transfer values in Guaranteed  Period(s) to the Portfolio(s).  Transfers,  other
than from a maturing  Guaranteed  Period within the 30-day period  following its
expiration, will be subject to any applicable Interest Rate Adjustments.

Dollar Cost Averaging ("DCA").  Under DCA, the Owner may authorize the automatic
transfer of a fixed dollar  amount ($100  minimum) at regular  intervals  from a
source account to one or more of the Portfolios  (other than the source account)
at the Accumulation Unit values determined on the dates of transfers. The source
account may be any of the  Portfolios  or the one-year  Guaranteed  Period.  The
Owner may elect to have  transfers made from one of these source  accounts.  The
intervals between transfers may be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually
at the  Owner's  option.  To  qualify  for DCA,  there  must be a minimum  total
Contract Value of $15,000.

Another  option under DCA is the periodic  transfer of a selected  percentage of
the value of the source account to one of the Portfolios  (other than the source
account).

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A written election of this service,  on a form provided by the Company,  must be
completed by the Owner in order to begin transfers. Once elected, transfers from
the source account will be processed  periodically until either the value of the
source  account is  completely  depleted or the Owner  instructs  the Company in
writing to cancel the transfers.

Rebalancing.  The Owner may elect,  on a form  provided by the Company,  to have
his/her  Separate  Account  Value  reallocated  among  Portfolios  in designated
percentages  on a periodic  basis  (monthly,  quarterly,  semi-annual  or annual
basis,  or at  such  other  time  interval  as  approved  by the  Company).  The
processing fee for this service will be as indicated on the contract data page.

                              WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On or prior to the  Income  Date,  the  Owner  may  withdraw  all or part of the
Contract  Value  under  this  contract  by  informing  the  Company.   For  full
withdrawal, this contract must be returned to the Company.

Except in connection with a systematic  withdrawal program,  the minimum partial
withdrawal  amount is $500, or if less, your entire interest in the Portfolio or
Guaranteed Period from which a withdrawal is requested.  The Owner's interest in
the Portfolio or Guaranteed Period must be at least $100 after the withdrawal is
completed.

The  Owner  may elect in  writing  on a form  provided  by the  Company  to take
systematic  withdrawals  by  withdrawing a specified  dollar amount (of at least
$50) on a monthly,  quarterly,  semiannual, or annual basis. A Withdrawal Charge
may apply to systematic  withdrawals in accordance with the considerations under
"Withdrawal  Charge."  The Company  reserves the right to  discontinue  offering
systematic withdrawals upon 30 days' written notice to Contract Owners; however,
any such discontinuation would not effect systematic withdrawal programs already
commenced.

Absent  written  notification  to the contrary,  withdrawals  and any applicable
charges  will be  deducted  from  the  Contract  Value  in  proportion  to their
allocation  among the  Portfolios and Guaranteed  Periods.  Withdrawals  will be
based on  values  at the end of the  Valuation  Period  in which a  request  for
withdrawal  and the contract (in the case of a full  withdrawal)  is received by
the Company. Withdrawals may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge and Interest Rate
Adjustment.

DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS.  The Company may defer  payments for up to six (6) months
on the fixed account portion of the contract.  Subject to New York requirements,
interest will be credited during such deferral period.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE.  Except as otherwise stated in this contract,  the Withdrawal
Charge for any amount  withdrawn  is based on the  Contribution  Year of Premium
payment and is a percentage of Premium payments.

The Withdrawal Charges associated with each new Premium are:

            Contribution Year                   Withdrawal
           of Premium Payment                Charge Percentage
           ------------------                -----------------
                    1                               7%
                    2                               6%
                    3                               5%
                    4                               4%
                    5                               3%
                    6                               2%
                    7                               1%
               Thereafter                           0%

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS (CONT'D)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The  Withdrawal  Charge will be deducted from the remaining  Contract Value such
that the actual reduction in Contract Value as a result of the withdrawal may be
greater  than  the  withdrawal  amount  requested  and  paid.  For  purposes  of
determining  the  Withdrawal  Charge,  withdrawals  will be  allocated  first to
earnings, if any (which may be withdrawn free of Withdrawal Charge), and then to
Premium on a first-in,  first-out  basis such that all withdrawals are allocated
to Premium to which the lowest (if any) Withdrawal Charge applies.

Premiums that are no longer subject to the Withdrawal Charge (and not previously
withdrawn),  plus earnings,  may be withdrawn free of Withdrawal  Charges at any
time.

Free  Withdrawal.  In addition,  there may be a free  withdrawal  amount for the
first  withdrawal  of Premiums  during a Contract  Year from a  Portfolio(s)  or
Guaranteed Period(s). The free withdrawal amount is equal to 10% of Premium that
remains  subject  to the  Withdrawal  Charge  and that has not  previously  been
withdrawn,  less earnings.  For purposes of this provision,  earnings shall mean
any amount in the contract other than unliquidated Premium.

                            DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE INCOME DATE:  Upon the Owner's death,  or the death of
any joint Owner,  before the Income Date,  the death benefit will be paid to the
beneficiary(ies)  designated  by You.  Upon  the  death  of a joint  Owner,  the
surviving  joint Owner,  if any, will be the designated  beneficiary.  Any other
beneficiary  designation  on record at the  Company at the time of death will be
treated as a contingent  beneficiary.  Proceeds will be distributed on the death
of the first Owner, unless the joint Owner is the spouse.

DEATH BENEFIT  AMOUNT BEFORE THE INCOME DATE:  The death benefit is equal to the
greater of the following three amounts:

1.       the Contract Value at the end of the Valuation  Period during which due
         proof  of  death  and  an  election  of  the  type  of  payment  to the
         beneficiary is received by the Company; and

2.       the total  Premium paid prior to the death of the Owner,  minus the sum
         of: a. the total withdrawals and any Withdrawal  Charges assessed;  and
         b. Premium taxes incurred; and

3.       the greatest  anniversary  value until the Owner's 86th  birthday.  The
         anniversary  value is defined as the Contract Value on the first day of
         each Contract Year, less any withdrawals and Withdrawal  Charges,  plus
         any additional Premium since that anniversary.

DEATH  BENEFIT  OPTIONS  BEFORE INCOME DATE In the event of the Owner's death or
any joint Owner's death before the Income Date, a beneficiary  must request that
the death  benefit  be paid under one of the death  benefit  options  below.  In
addition,  if the beneficiary is the spouse of the Owner, he or she may elect to
continue the contract,  at the then Contract  Value,  in his or her own name and
exercise all the Owner's rights under the Contract.  The following are the death
benefit options:

o        Option 1 - lump-sum payment of the death benefit; or

o        Option 2 - payment of the entire  death  benefit  within 5 years of the
         date of the death of the Owner or any joint Owner; or

o        Option 3 - payment of the death benefit under an Income Option over the
         lifetime of the  beneficiary or over a period not extending  beyond the
         life expectancy of the beneficiary,  with distribution beginning within
         one year of the date of the Owner's death or any joint Owner's death.

<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS (CONT'D)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any portion of the death  benefit not applied  under Option 3 within one year of
the date of an Owner's death must be  distributed  within five years of the date
of death.

If a lump-sum  payment is  requested,  the amount will be paid within  seven (7)
days of receipt of proof of death by the  Company  and the  election  unless the
suspension or deferral of payments provision is in effect.

Payment  to the  beneficiary,  other than in a single  sum,  may only be elected
during the sixty-day period beginning with the date of receipt of proof of death
by the Company.

DEATH OF OWNER AFTER THE INCOME DATE:  If the Owner,  or any joint  Owner,  dies
after the Income Date, and the Owner is not an Annuitant, any remaining payments
under the Annuity  option elected will continue at least as rapidly as under the
method of distribution in effect at the Owner's death.

DEATH OF ANNUITANT  BEFORE INCOME DATE:  Upon the death of an Annuitant,  who is
not an Owner,  before the Income Date,  the Owner may designate a new Annuitant.
If no  designation  is made  within 30 days of the death of the  Annuitant,  the
Owner will become the Annuitant.

If the Owner is a  non-individual,  the death of the primary  Annuitant  will be
treated as the death of the Owner and a new Annuitant may not be  designated.  A
change in the primary Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner.

DEATH OF ANNUITANT  AFTER INCOME DATE: Upon the death of the Annuitant after the
Income  Date,  the death  benefit,  if any,  will be as  specified in the Income
Option  elected.  Death  benefits  will be paid at least as rapidly as under the
method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death.


<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                INCOME PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any  income  benefits  at the time of their  commencement  will not be less than
those that would be provided to a single premium  immediate annuity applicant of
the same class.

INCOME DATE.  The date on which  Annuity  payments are to begin which will be at
least one year after the Issue Date. The Owner may change the Income Date at any
time,  at least  seven  days  prior to the  Income  Date then  indicated  on the
Company's records, by written notice to the Company.

INCOME OPTIONS.  The Owner, or any beneficiary who is so entitled,  may elect to
receive a single sum at the end of the accumulation  period.  However,  a single
sum distribution may be deemed to be a withdrawal,  and at least a portion of it
may be subject to income tax.  Alternatively,  an Income  Option may be elected.
The Owner may, upon written notice to the Company, elect an income option at any
time prior to the Income Date.

A change of income  options is  permitted if made at least seven days before the
Income Date. If no other income option is elected, monthly annuity payments will
be made in  accordance  with  option 3  below,  a life  Annuity  with 120 or 240
monthly payments guaranteed. Annuity payments may be made in monthly, quarterly,
semiannual  or annual  installments  as selected by the Owner.  However,  if the
amount  available  to apply  under an income  option is less  than  $2,000,  the
Company may pay the Contract  Value in a single sum. In  addition,  if the first
payment  provided  would be less than $20, the Company may require the frequency
of payments be at quarterly,  semi-annual or annual intervals so as to result in
an initial payment of at least $20.

Upon written  notice filed with the Company,  all or part of the Contract  Value
will be applied to provide one of the following  income options.  The portion of
the Contract Value which is in the Guaranteed  Period  immediately  prior to the
Income  Date,  applied to an income  option,  will be  subject to an  applicable
Interest Rate Adjustment.

o        OPTION 1 - LIFE INCOME An Annuity  payable  monthly during the lifetime
         of the Annuitant.  Under this option,  no further  payments are payable
         after the death of the Annuitant, and there is no provision for a death
         benefit  payable to the  beneficiary.  Therefore,  it is possible under
         option 1 for the payee to  receive  only one  monthly  Annuity  payment
         under this Contract.

o        OPTION 2 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR An Annuity payable monthly while both the
         Annuitant and a designated second person are living.  Upon the death of
         either  person,  the monthly  income  payable will continue  during the
         lifetime  of the  survivor.  If a reduced  payment to the  survivor  is
         desired,  variable  Annuity  payments will be  determined  using either
         one-half  or  two-thirds  of the  number of each type of  Annuity  Unit
         credited. Fixed payments will be equal to either one-half or two-thirds
         of the fixed payment payable during the joint life of the Annuitant and
         the designated second person.

         Annuity payments terminate automatically and immediately upon the death
         of the surviving person without regard to the number or total amount of
         payments received.

         There is no minimum number of guaranteed  payments,  and it is possible
         to have  only  one  Annuity  payment  if  both  the  Annuitant  and the
         designated second person die before the due date of the second payment.


<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INCOME PROVISIONS (CONT'D)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o        OPTION 3 - LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS  GUARANTEED An
         Annuity  payable  monthly during the lifetime of the Annuitant with the
         guarantee  that if, at the death of the  Annuitant,  payments have been
         made for fewer  than the  guaranteed  120 or 240  monthly  periods,  as
         elected by the Owner, the balance of the guaranteed  number of payments
         will be made to the payee.

o        OPTION 4 - INCOME FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD Under this option, a payee can
         elect an Annuity  payable monthly for any period of years from 5 to 30.
         This election must be made for full 12-month periods.  In the event the
         payee dies before the specified  number of payments has been made,  the
         beneficiary may elect to continue  receiving the scheduled  payments or
         may alternatively  elect to receive the discounted present value of any
         remaining  guaranteed  payments in a lump sum. The  discounted  present
         value is determined by taking the  remaining  guaranteed  benefit as of
         the date the calculation is being performed.  The Company uses the rate
         assumed in the calculation.

o        ADDITIONAL  OPTIONS.  Other income options may be made available by the
         Company.

FIXED ANNUITY  PAYMENTS.  Each fixed Annuity payment is the same amount on every
payment date. The payment is equal to:
1)       Contract  Value  allocated to the fixed Annuity option as of the Income
         Date; less
2)       Any deduction for Premium tax; multiplied by
3)       The appropriate Annuity factor in this Contract.

The Annuity  factor is  different  for each income  option.  Reserves  for fixed
Annuity payments are held in the Company's general account.

Interest in excess of the  guaranteed  rate may be credited by the Company.  The
interest credited will never be less than the guaranteed rate.

AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS.
First Variable  Payment.  The dollar amount of the first monthly Annuity payment
will be  determined by applying the portion of the Contract  Value  allocated to
Variable  Annuity  payments,  less any applicable  Premium taxes, to the Annuity
table  applicable to the income option  chosen.  Those tables are based on a set
amount per $1,000 of proceeds applied.

The  dollars  applied  are divided by 1,000,  and the result  multiplied  by the
appropriate  Annuity factor  appearing in the table to compute the amount of the
first monthly Annuity payment. That amount is divided by the value of an Annuity
Unit as of the Income Date to establish the number of Annuity Units representing
each variable  Annuity  payment.  The number of Annuity Units determined for the
first variable  Annuity payment  remains  constant for the second and subsequent
monthly  variable  Annuity  payments,  assuming that no reallocation of Contract
Values is made.  The total variable  Annuity  payment is equal to the sum of the
Annuity  payments as determined  above for each  Portfolio to which the Contract
Value is allocated on the Annuity date.

Number  of  Variable  Annuity  Units.  The  number  of  Annuity  Units  for each
applicable  Portfolio is the amount of the first Annuity payment attributable to
that  Portfolio  divided by the value of the  applicable  Annuity  Unit for that
Portfolio  as of the  Income  Date.  The  number  will not change as a result of
investment experience.


<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           INCOME PROVISIONS (CONT'D)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annuity Unit Value.  The initial  value of an Annuity Unit of each  Portfolio is
set as of the date of  annuitizations.  The value may increase or decrease  from
one  Valuation  Period to the next.  For any Valuation  Period,  the value of an
Annuity Unit of a particular  Portfolio is the value of that Annuity Unit during
the last  Valuation  Period,  multiplied by the net  investment  factor for that
Portfolio for the current Valuation Period.

The net  investment  factor is an index  applied to measure  the net  investment
performance of a Portfolio from one Valuation Day to the next.

The  net  investment  factor  for any  Portfolio  for any  Valuation  Period  is
determined  by  dividing  (a) by (b) and then  subtracting  (c) from the  result
where:

         (a)      is the result of:
                  (1)      the  net  asset  value  of a Fund  share  held in the
                           Portfolio  determined  as of the Valuation Day at the
                           end of the Valuation Period, plus
                  (2)      the  per  share  amount  of  any  dividend  or  other
                           distribution    declared   by   the   Fund   if   the
                           "ex-dividend"   date  occurs   during  the  Valuation
                           Period, plus or minus
                  (3)      a  per-share  credit or charge  with  respect  to any
                           taxes paid or reserved for by the Company  during the
                           Valuation  Period which are determined by the Company
                           to be  attributable to the operation of the Portfolio
                           (no federal income taxes are applicable under present
                           law);
         (b)      is the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Portfolio
                  determined as of the Valuation Day at the end of the preceding
                  Valuation Period; and
         (c)      is the contract insurance charges, which include the mortality
                  and expense risks, and administration charges, as shown on the
                  contract data page (page 3 of the contract).

The result is then multiplied by a second factor which offsets the effect of the
assumed investment rate of 3% per annum.

Subsequent Variable Annuity Payments.  After the first variable Annuity payment,
payments  will vary in amount  according to the  investment  performance  of the
applicable Portfolios. The amount may change from month to month.
The amount of each subsequent payment is the sum of:

     The number of Annuity Units for each  Portfolio as determined for the first
     Annuity  payment,  multiplied  by the  value  of an  Annuity  Unit for that
     Portfolio at the end of the Valuation Period immediately preceding in which
     payment is due.

We  guarantee  that the  amount of each  variable  Annuity  payment  will not be
effected by variations in expenses or mortality experience.

BASIS OF COMPUTATION. The actuarial basis for the Table of Income Options is the
1983a Annuity Mortality Table, with interest at 3.00%.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASSIGNMENT.  The Owner may assign this contract  before the Income Date, but the
Company will not be bound by an assignment  unless it is in writing and has been
received by the  Company.  The  assignment  will be effective as of the date the
appropriate form was signed. We assume no responsibility for the validity or tax
consequences  of any  assignment.  If  the  contract  is  issued  pursuant  to a
Qualified Plan, it may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred, except
as may be allowed  under the Plan. If the Owner makes an  assignment,  the Owner
may have to pay income tax.

BENEFICIARY. The beneficiary is as named in the application unless later changed
by the Owner.  If two or more persons are named,  those surviving the Owner will
share equally unless otherwise stated.  If there are no surviving  beneficiaries
at the death of the Owner,  the death  benefit will be paid to the estate of the
Owner.

The Owner may change the beneficiary by written notice in a form satisfactory to
the Company. The change will occur on the date We receive the notice. The change
will be effective as of the date the appropriate form was signed.

CONFORMITY WITH STATE LAWS. This contract will be interpreted  under the laws of
the State of New York when it is issued. Any provision which, on the Issue Date,
is in  conflict  with New  York  law,  is  amended  to  conform  to the  minimum
requirements of such law.

CONTRACT  MAINTENANCE  CHARGE. An annual contract  maintenance charge of no more
than $30 is charged  against each contract.  This charge  reimburses the Company
for expenses  incurred in  establishing  and maintaining  records  relating to a
contract.  The contract  maintenance charge will be assessed on each anniversary
of the Issue Date that occurs on or prior to the Income Date.  In the event that
a total withdrawal is made, the contract  maintenance charge will be assessed as
of the date of withdrawal  without  proration.  The total  contract  maintenance
charge is allocated  between the  Portfolio(s)  and the Guaranteed  Period(s) in
proportion to the respective Contract Values similarly allocated.

ENTIRE  CONTRACT.  This contract was issued in consideration of Your application
and payment of the initial Premium. All of its pages, the application, a copy of
which is attached at issue, and all endorsements, amendments and attached riders
make up the entire contract.

MINIMUM BENEFITS.  For any paid up Annuity option,  cash value or death benefit,
the amount  available  under  this  contract  will not be less than the  minimum
requirements of the state where this contract was delivered.

MISSTATEMENT  OF AGE.  If the  age of the  Annuitant  has  been  misstated,  the
benefits  will be those  which the  premiums  paid would have  purchased  at the
correct age. Any underpayments or overpayments  will be adjusted  immediately by
the  Company,  using an  interest  rate of 6%  either  as a credit  to or charge
against the next succeeding payment by the Company.

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS (CONT'D)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODIFICATION  OF  CONTRACT.  Any  change  or waiver  of the  provisions  of this
Contract must be in writing and signed by the President,  a Vice President,  the
Secretary or  Assistant  Secretary  of the  Company.  No agent has  authority to
change or waive any provisions of this contract.  The Company reserves the right
to change or modify the contract  without  prior consent or notice if federal or
state law  requires Us to do so. Any such  modifications  will be subject to the
New York State Insurance Department's prior approval.

NONPARTICIPATING. This contract does not share in Our surplus or earnings.

PREMIUMS.  Premiums  are  flexible.  This  means  that the Owner may  change the
amounts,  frequency or timing of Premiums.  The initial Premium must be at least
$5,000  for  Non-Qualified   Contracts  and  $2,000  for  Qualified   Contracts.
Subsequent  Premiums  must be at least $500 ($50 if made in  connection  with an
automatic payment plan). The Company reserves the right to refuse total Premiums
under this  contract in excess of  $1,000,000  without  prior  approval from the
Company. The Company may waive minimum Premium amounts.

Premiums may be allocated among one or more of the Guaranteed Periods and one or
more of the Portfolios. Such election may be made in any percent from 0% to 100%
in whole  percentages.  The minimum that may be allocated to a Guaranteed Period
or a Portfolio under this contract is $100.

Just like initial  Premiums,  Owners making  subsequent  Premium payments should
specify how they want their  Premiums  allocated.  Otherwise,  the Company  will
automatically  process the Premium based on the most recent allocation on record
with the Company.

PREMIUM TAXES.  The Company may deduct from the Contract Value any Premium taxes
or other taxes payable to a state or other government entity.  Should we advance
any amount due, we are not waiving any right to collect  such amounts at a later
date. We will deduct any withholding taxes required by applicable law.

PROOF OF AGE OR SURVIVAL.  The Company may require satisfactory proof of correct
age at any time. If any payment under this  contract  depends on the  Annuitant,
Owner, or beneficiary being alive, the Company may require satisfactory proof of
survival.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT.  The Separate Account is a separate  investment account of the
Company  but is  subject  to the  laws of New  York  state.  It is  shown on the
contract data page.  The assets of the Separate  Account are the property of the
Company.  However,  they are not  credited  with  earnings  or  chargeable  with
liabilities  arising out of any other  business  the Company may  conduct.  Each
Portfolio is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other Portfolio.

SUSPENSION OR DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS. We may suspend or postpone any payments from
the contract if any of the following occur:
a)       The New York Stock Exchange is closed;
b)       Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
c)       An emergency exists such that it is not reasonably practical to dispose
         of securities in the Separate  Account or to determine the value of its
         assets; or
d)       The Securities and Exchange  Commission,  by order,  so permits for the
         protection of security holders.

This provision will only apply to the Separate Account funds.
