Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment. A
registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities may not be sold nor may

This Prospectus describes a modified single premium variable life insurance
policy being offered by American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation ("we,"
"our," "us," "American Skandia," or "the Company"), One Corporate Drive, P.O.
Box 883, Shelton, Connecticut, 06484. This policy may be offered as individual
coverage or as interest in a group policy. This Prospectus provides a detailed
discussion of matters you should consider before buying a Policy. This policy or
certain of its investment options may not be available in all jurisdictions.
Various rights and benefits may differ between jurisdictions to meet applicable
law and/or regulations. This Prospectus is made up of the following general
sections: Cover Page, Table of Contents, Definitions, Description of the
Offering, Miscellaneous Provisions and Additional Details. On this cover page
and in the Description of the Offering section, we use a "question and answer"
format to assist you in understanding this offering.
In summary, what is American Skandia offering to me? We are offering a
type of cash value life insurance coverage. This life insurance coverage is
called a "modified single premium variable life insurance policy." These
technical terms can be explained, as follows:
(1) This coverage is life insurance because a death benefit becomes
payable to a beneficiary upon the death of the person insured. It is cash value
life insurance because, in addition to a death benefit, it also provides living
benefits for the owner, such as the right to take loans from us using the value
of the policy as collateral and the right to take withdrawals.
(2) This coverage is called modified single premium because we do not
accept any premium other than the first unless we know about the additional
premium during the underwriting period or an additional amount is required to
keep the policy from being cancelled.
(3) This coverage is variable because you can allocate all or part of
your premium to variable investment options that invest in underlying mutual
funds. The performance of these investment options is not guaranteed. You bear
the investment risk if you allocate funds to these investment options because
the benefits that depend on the investment performance of these investment
options can decrease or increase.
(4) This coverage allows you to allocate all or part of your premium to
a fixed option to which we credit interest. The return on this option is
guaranteed. We bear the investment risk if you allocate funds to this option.
(5) We believe this policy will be treated as a "modified endowment
contract" under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In general, the tax
treatment of a modified endowment contract's death benefit is similar to that of
death benefits under life insurance policies, while the tax treatment of the
contract's living benefits are similar to those of living benefits under
deferred annuities. This means that in many circumstances the beneficiary owes
no Federal income tax on the death proceeds. However, most distributions from
such a policy while the insured is alive, including loans, withdrawals and
surrender, are taxable to the owner, like distributions from a deferred annuity
before annuity payments begin. This means that such distributions are deemed to
come first from any gain in the policy. Any gain is treated as ordinary income
and may be subject to a 10% tax penalty if taken before your age 59 1/2.
Information relating to the tax treatment of life insurance contracts which are
not modified endowment contracts appears in the section entitled "Additional Tax
Considerations".
Is there Federal insurance for these policies? Premiums for these policies are
not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or bank
subsidiary. Neither premiums nor any payments or benefits pursuant to these
policies are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal
Reserve Board, or any other agency.

EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION OR
ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS
PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. PLEASE

DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFERING: This Policy is described using a "question and
answer" format that assumes you, the prospective purchaser, are asking the
questions. The description below is divided into the following sections:
Purchasers, The Insurance Company, Benefits at the Insured's Death, Account
Value and Cash Value, Cash Value Credits, Costs, Buying a Policy, Variable
Investment Options, Transfers and Allocation Services, Loans, Partial
Withdrawals, Surrenders, Accelerated Death Benefit, Medically-Related Waiver,

Skandia follows this description.
Purchasers
Who should buy this Policy? Life insurance can be bought to meet a
number of needs of individuals or entities, such as corporations or trusts.
Different types of life insurance are designed to address certain needs more
than others. This Policy may be appropriate for a number of persons or entities,
but it may be especially useful for addressing a range of estate planning needs.
Because of estate taxes, purchasers may want to consider placing this type of
coverage in an applicable trust or transferring ownership of the Policy in an
effort to remove the asset from their estate. This Policy may also be useful for
persons seeking to make a sizable donation to a charity or eligible non-profit
organization, where the charity is named both Owner and Beneficiary of the
Policy, and the donor is named as the Insured. You should evaluate carefully
with your financial representative whether this Policy is right for your
specific needs in light of your entire situation and your personal and financial
goals. In particular, you should evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of
replacing any existing life insurance or annuity coverage with this Policy. If
you are seeking specific tax consequences, you should consult with a competent
tax advisor as to whether and how your goals may best be achieved.
The Insurance Company
Who is American Skandia? American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation is
organized as a stock insurance company domiciled in Connecticut. We are licensed
as a life insurer in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We are a wholly
owned subsidiary of American Skandia Investment Holding Corporation, whose
indirect parent is Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. Skandia Insurance Company Ltd.
is part of a group of companies whose predecessor began operations in 1855. Two
of our affiliates, American Skandia Marketing, Incorporated, and American
Skandia Information Services and Technology Corporation, may undertake certain
administrative functions for us. We also may engage various independent firms to
undertake various administrative functions for us. Our affiliate, American
Skandia Investment Services, Incorporated, currently acts as the investment
manager to American Skandia Trust, one of the underlying mutual funds whose
Portfolios are available as variable investment options. We currently engage
Skandia Investment Management, Inc., an affiliate whose indirect parent is
Skandia Insurance Company Ltd., as investment manager for our general account.
We are under no obligation to engage or continue to engage any investment
manager.
Benefits at the Insured's Death
What benefits are due as a result of the Insured's death? The benefits
due as a result of the Insured's death are the Death Proceeds. If there are
joint Insureds, the benefits are due as a result of the death of the last
surviving Insured.
What are the Death Proceeds? The Death Proceeds are based on the Death
Benefit as of the date we receive all our requirements for paying a death claim
and are satisfied that the death claim can be paid. These requirements include,
but are not limited to, receipt of a valid death certificate and information we
need to make payments to all Beneficiaries.
We determine the Death Proceeds by first subtracting any Debt from the Death
Benefit. We then add any interest amount required by law.
What is the Death Benefit? The Death Benefit is the higher of the
Required Death Benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit as of the date
we receive due proof of death. The Required Death Benefit is the minimum amount
that must be payable at the Insured's death, before reduction for any Debt, for
the Policy to be treated as life insurance under the Code. The Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit, which is discussed below in response to the question,
"What is the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit?," is the minimum amount payable
at the Insured's death, before reduction for any Debt, irrespective of the
Required Death Benefit. The Required Death Benefit is determined by treating the
Account Value as if it were a net single premium. We determine the Required
Death Benefit by dividing the Account Value by factors that are determined as of
the Policy Date. These factors vary by the attained Age, gender (where
permitted) and risk class of the Insured. See Appendix C for a complete
description of the applicable factors we use to determine the Required Death
Benefit. The following are representative examples of the factors on the Policy
Date for different Ages, genders and risk classes, as well as the amount of the
Required Death Benefit if the Account Value were $100,000.
Female, Age 55, not a tobacco user: The factor is .400884. $100,000
divided by .400884 results in a Required Death Benefit of $249,449.
Male, Age 60, a tobacco user: The factor is .586632. $100,000 divided
by .586632 results in a Required Death Benefit of $170,465.
Female, Age 70, a tobacco user: The factor is .637176. $100,000 divided
by .637176 results in a Required Death Benefit of $156,943.
Male, Age 75, not a tobacco user: The factor is .736865. $100,000
divided by .736865 results in a Required Death Benefit of $135,710.
As noted above, the factors depend on the Insured's gender (where permitted),
risk class and attained Age. The gender and risk class of the Insured does not
change, so the only element that changes the factor after the Policy Date is the
aging of the Insured. The following example may help you understand the effect
of aging on the Required Death Benefit.
The Insured is a woman, Age 64, for whom coverage was issued at her Age 60 in
the "not a tobacco user" risk class. On the Valuation Day before the Policy
Anniversary following the Insured's 65th birthday, the Account Value is
$100,000. The Required Death Benefit as required under the Code for this
Insured's age, gender, risk class and Account Value is $100,000 divided by the
applicable factor of .521878, which results in a Required Death Benefit of
$191,616. For the sake of this example, assume that the next Valuation Day,
which is the Policy Anniversary after the Insured's 65th birthday (the day the
Insured turns Age 65 for purposes of the Policy), the Account Value remains
$100,000. At the higher Age of 65, the Required Death Benefit on the Policy
Anniversary is $100,000 divided by the applicable factor of .536544, which
results in a Required Death Benefit of $186,378.
What else can affect the Required Death Benefit? The Required Death
Benefit changes as the Account Value changes. This is because the Required Death
Benefit is calculated based on the Account Value. A few examples may help show
what this means. Assume for purposes of these examples that the Insured is a
woman, Age 65, for whom coverage was issued at her Age 60 in the "not a tobacco
user" risk class.
(a) On a particular Monthly Processing Date, the Account Value of the
Policy is $100,000. The Required Death Benefit as of that Valuation Day is
$100,000 divided by the then applicable factor of .536544 or $186,378. As of the
next Valuation Day, assume the Account Value has grown to $100,010. The Required
Death Benefit is $100,010 divided by the same factor of .536544, or $186,396.
(b) On a particular Monthly Processing Date, the Account Value of the
Policy is $100,000. The Required Death Benefit as of that Valuation Day is
$100,000 divided by the then applicable factor of .536544, or $186,378. As of
the next Valuation Day, assume the Account Value has decreased to $99,990. The
Required Death Benefit is $99,990 divided by the same factor of .536544, or
$186,359.
(c) On a particular Monthly Processing Date, the Account Value of the
Policy before any partial withdrawal is $100,000. The Required Death Benefit as
of that Valuation Day is $100,000 divided by the then applicable factor of
.536544, or $186,378. On that same day, assume $20,000 is taken as a partial
withdrawal. Immediately after the partial withdrawal, the Required Death Benefit
is $80,000 divided by the same factor of .536544, or $149,102.
What is the Face Amount? The Face Amount is the Required Death Benefit
on the Policy Date.
What is the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit? We use the Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit in determining the Death Proceeds if the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is higher than the Required Death
Benefit. The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is determined as follows:
(a) On the Policy Date, the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit equals the
Premium.
(b) After the Policy Date and until the first Policy Anniversary, the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is the Premium less every "reduction due to a
withdrawal," which is defined below.
(c) After the first Policy Anniversary but before the "target date,"
(the Policy Anniversary that the Insured turns Age 75), the Guaranteed Minimum
Death Benefit is the higher of (1) or (2), where: (1) is the Premium less every
"reduction due to a withdrawal"; and (2) is the highest "Anniversary Value."
"Anniversary Value" is the Account Value on any Policy Anniversary less every
reduction due to a withdrawal since that Policy Anniversary.
(d) On or after the "target date," the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
is the higher of (1) or (2), where: (1) is the Premium less every "reduction due
to a withdrawal"; and (2) is the highest Anniversary Value, as defined above in
(c), as of the "target date," less every "reduction due to a withdrawal" after
the "target date."
(e) Notwithstanding items (a) through (d) above, if the Insured is Age
75 or older on the Policy Date, the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is the
Premium less every "reduction due to a withdrawal."
(f) If the Policy is issued for two (2) Insureds, the Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit is based on the age of the younger Insured, or what would
have been the age of the younger Insured if the younger Insured predeceases the
older Insured.
A "reduction due to a withdrawal" is a proportional reduction. It equals the
ratio by which the Account Value is reduced by a partial withdrawal or a payment
under the Accelerated Death Benefit provision, described below in the section of
the same name, multiplied by the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit as of the
effective date of such partial withdrawal or payment. For example, if the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit before a partial withdrawal is $100,000 and the
Account Value is $120,000, the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit after a $60,000
partial withdrawal (a 50% reduction in the Account Value) would be $50,000 (a
50% reduction in the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit).
How are Death Proceeds paid? We pay the Death Proceeds as a lump sum or
in accordance with the terms of whatever settlement options we then make
available to Beneficiaries. Generally, Beneficiaries can choose a lump sum or
from one of the settlement options that we make available. However, you may
choose the method of payment for your Beneficiaries if you notify us In Writing
before the Insured's death how you want the Death Proceeds to be paid.
Account Value and Cash Value
What is the Account Value? The Account Value is the value of a Policy
before any deduction for any contingent deferred sales charge, contingent
deferred tax charge or Debt. It is the total of the Account Value maintained in
the investment options you choose to utilize plus any Account Value in the Loan
Account. You may allocate Account Value to variable investment options, which
are all Sub-accounts of the Separate Account, or to Fixed Allocations. Account
Value is maintained in the Loan Account as collateral for outstanding loans.
How does American Skandia determine the Account Value in the variable
investment options? On each Valuation Date, the Account Value in any variable
investment option you utilize equals the number of Units you then maintain in
that investment option multiplied by that investment option's then current Unit
Price. When you allocate all or a portion of the Premium to an investment option
or when you transfer Account Value into a variable investment option, Units are
purchased using the then current Unit Price. When you take all or a portion of a
distribution or benefit from a variable investment option or you transfer
Account Value from a variable investment option, Units are sold at the then
current Unit Price in order to fund that distribution, benefit or transfer.
How does American Skandia determine the Account Value for Fixed
Allocations? We credit a fixed rate of interest to Fixed Allocations. From time
to time we declare interest rates applicable to new Fixed Allocations. If you
make a Fixed Allocation, we credit the rate then in effect to that Fixed
Allocation until the next Policy Anniversary. Once that Policy Anniversary is
reached, we credit, for the next Policy Year, the then current rate applicable
to new Fixed Allocations. This applies to all your Fixed Allocations then in
effect. During each subsequent Policy Year, the rate we credit for each Policy
Year is the one then in effect for new Fixed Allocations.
The Policy offered pursuant to this Prospectus includes Fixed Allocations. These
Fixed Allocations are not registered as a security with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under either the Securities Act of 1933 or the Investment
Company Act of 1940. The Fixed Allocations are not subject to these Acts.
Information about the Fixed Allocations is included in this Prospectus to help
with your understanding of the features of the Policy. The staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed this information. However,
the information may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the
Federal securities laws regarding accuracy and completeness. The assets
supporting Fixed Allocations are held in American Skandia's general account.
How does American Skandia determine the interest rate for Fixed
Allocations? We determine the interest rate applied to Fixed Allocations based
on our assessment of the earnings we expect to achieve when investing to support
these obligations, our costs, competition, profit targets and other factors. We
have sole discretion to determine the rates. However, the interest rate will
never be less than 3.0% per year, compounded yearly.
How does American Skandia determine the Account Value in the Loan
Account? The rate we credit to Account Value in the Loan Account depends on
whether that Account Value is serving as collateral for "preferred loans" or for
"standard loans," which are discussed below in response to the question "What
are a `preferred loan' and a `standard loan'?" We credit interest at the rate of
6.0% per year, compounded yearly, to Account Value in the Loan Account serving
as collateral for "preferred loans." We credit interest at the rate of 4.0% per
year, compounded yearly, to Account Value in the Loan Account serving as
collateral for "standard loans."
What is the Cash Value? The Cash Value is the total Account Value less
any contingent deferred sales charge, contingent deferred tax charge and Debt.
Do I have to maintain a minimum Cash Value? The answer depends on
whether there is any Debt. You do not have to maintain a minimum Cash Value if
there is no Debt, except if you take a partial withdrawal. We will inform you
if, on a Monthly Processing Date, your Cash Value equals or is less than zero.
Such Monthly Processing Date will be the beginning of the grace period. At that
time we will also inform you of the amount you can pay if you wish to
reestablish any Cash Value. No payment is required. The Policy remains in force
with the Death Benefit equal to the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit as of the
beginning of the grace period.
If there is any Debt, there must always be enough Cash Value so that after we
deduct any charges the Cash Value is more than zero. If the Cash Value would be
zero or less after we deduct charges, we send you a notice giving you a 61-day
"grace period" to send us a required amount. If this amount is not paid by the
end of the grace period, the Policy ends without value.
Cash Value Credits
What are Cash Value Credits, and how do I get them? Cash Value Credits
are amounts we credit to your Account Value, where permitted by law. We provide
these amounts if your total Cash Value on a Policy Anniversary equals or exceeds
a Cash Value trigger. We determine if your Policy is eligible for a Cash Value
Credit on each Policy Anniversary. Eligibility for Cash Value Credits may change
from year to year. Whether your Cash Value meets or exceeds the trigger depends
on investment performance of the investment options, partial withdrawals, Debt
and whether you pay back any loans or loan interest.
What is the Cash Value trigger? The Cash Value trigger is 200% of the
Premium. That means that, even if your Account Value is 200% of the Premium, you
may not have reached the trigger amount, since the Cash Value may be less than
the Account Value due to the contingent deferred sales charge, the contingent
deferred tax charge and any Debt.
How much is added to my Account Value? The Cash Value Credit, if any,
added to your Account Value equals 0.25% of the Cash Value on the applicable
Policy Anniversary. The following examples may help you understand this.
(a) Assume that the Premium paid for a Policy is $100,000. Assume that
on the 10th Policy Anniversary the Cash Value is $202,000. The
Cash Value trigger is 200% of $100,000, which is $200,000. The
amount to be added to the Account Value is 0.25% of $202,000,
which is $505.
(b) Assume that, for the same Policy, the Cash Value on the 11th
Policy Anniversary is $195,000, due to a combination of investment
performance and a loan of $25,000 in the middle of the Policy
Year. The Cash Value trigger for this Policy, as noted above, is
$200,000. Therefore, no Cash Value Credit is provided on the 11th
Policy Anniversary.
(c) Assume that, for the same Policy, the Cash Value on the 12th
Policy Anniversary is $240,000, due to a combination of investment
performance and repayment of the loan and loan interest. As noted
above, the Cash Value trigger is $200,000. The amount to be added
is 0.25% of $240,000, which is $600.
Who pays for the Cash Value Credits, and how are they paid? We pay for
any Cash Value Credits out of our general account. We allocate any Cash Value
Credits due on the applicable Policy Anniversary to the variable investment
options and Fixed Allocations in which you then maintain Account Value. We make
the allocations pro-rata based on the Account Value in the variable investment
options and any Fixed Allocations on the applicable Policy Anniversary. No
allocation is made to the Loan Account.
Cash Value Credits cannot be used to repay Debt.
Costs
What kinds of charges are there for this Policy? The Policy has four
(4) different kinds of charges: (1) charges we assess daily against assets
maintained in the Separate Account, which only apply to the Account Value you
allocate to the variable investment options; (2) charges we deduct monthly from
the Account Value and which are due in all Policy Years; (3) charges that we
deduct monthly from the Account Value only for the first ten Policy Years; and
(4) "contingent" charges, which are those charges that you only pay in certain
specified circumstances.
What are the charges assessed against the Separate Account and when are
they paid? We assess a mortality and expense risk charge and an administration
charge against the assets in the Separate Account each Valuation Period. The
mortality and expense risk charge is 0.90% per year. The charge for the
administrative expenses connected with operating the Separate Account is 0.25%
per year. We assess these charges each Valuation Period against the average
daily total value of each Sub-account. We reserve the right to assess the
Separate Account for any taxes that may be attributed to it. Currently, no such
charge for taxes is assessed.
What monthly charge applies in all Policy Years? We always deduct the
cost of insurance charge. We take this charge from your Account Value, in
advance, each Monthly Processing Day. The charge is a percentage of your then
current Account Value.
How much is the cost of insurance charge? The cost of insurance charge
is not a constant dollar amount, in part because it is a percentage of your
Account Value. The percentage of your Account Value that we charge differs
depending on four factors: (1) whether we issue the Policy for only one Insured
or for two; (2) the Age(s) of the Insured(s) as of the Policy Date; (3) the
gender of the Insured(s), where permitted; and (4) the risk class(es) of the
Insured(s). We reserve the right to also have the percentage decrease based on
the size of the Premium.
The actual charge is a monthly charge. The equivalent yearly cost of insurance
charges as of the Policy Date are shown below for a Policy issued for one
Insured. The charges will be different if we are required by law to charge the
same amount for males and females. For purposes of this and the succeeding
table, "Age" is as of the Policy Date.

---------------- ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
Female Tobacco User 0.75% 1.10%
---------------- ------------------------- ----------------- -----------------
If the Policy is issued for two Insureds, the yearly percentages of the Account
Value we deduct for the cost of insurance will depend on the risk classes of the
Insureds. The following are examples of applicable charges as of the Policy
Date. The charges will be different if we are required by law to charge the same
amount for males and females.

Is there a maximum cost of insurance charge? We monitor the cost of
insurance charge so that it never exceeds a guaranteed maximum charge. We
determine that guaranteed maximum as if we were charging you an increasing
amount based on the Insured's attained Age and were assessing that charge on the
difference between the Required Death Benefit and the Account Value. If the
percentages we otherwise would charge would exceed the guaranteed maximum, we
only charge the guaranteed maximum.
The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge depends on the risk class of the
Insured(s). Also, if required by law, unisex charges will apply. We base the
guaranteed maximum charges on the sex distinct 1980 Commissioners Standard
Ordinary Ultimate Mortality Table, age last birthday unless unisex rates apply.
See Appendix D for a description of the maximum cost of insurance charges for
different age gender and risk classes.
What monthly charges apply only in the first 10 Policy Years? We deduct
the tax charge and the sales charge only in the first 10 Policy Years.
How much is the sales charge and when do I pay it? We deduct the sales
charge during the first 10 Policy Years. It is a percentage of your Account
Value and is the equivalent of 0.40% per year. We deduct this charge monthly in
advance. We take the charge from your Account Value each Monthly Processing Day.
The charge is a percentage of your then current Account Value. If you surrender
your Policy or take a partial withdrawal, we may deduct a contingent deferred
sales charge, as described below in response to the question "How much is the
contingent deferred sales charge and when must I pay it?"
There are certain circumstances which may result in reduction or elimination of
the sales charge. These are exactly the same circumstances that may result in
reduction or elimination of the contingent deferred sales charge, as described
below in response to the question "How much is the contingent deferred sales
charge and when must I pay it?"
How much is the tax charge and when do I pay it? We deduct the tax
charge during the first 10 Policy Years. It is a percentage of your Account
Value and is the equivalent of 0.25% per year. We deduct this charge monthly in
advance. We take the charge from your Account Value each Monthly Processing Day.
The charge is a percentage of your then current Account Value. If you surrender
your Policy or take a partial withdrawal, we deduct a contingent deferred tax
charge, as described below in response to the question "How much is the
contingent deferred tax charge and when must I pay it?"
What are the contingent charges? The contingent charges are: (1) the
contingent deferred sales charge; (2) the contingent deferred tax charge; (3)
the maintenance fee; and (4) the transfer fee.
How much is the contingent deferred sales charge and when must I pay
it? The contingent deferred sales charge is a percentage of any amount being
surrendered or withdrawn: (a) during the first nine (9) Policy Years; and (b)
that, according to our rules, is a withdrawal of Premium, not a withdrawal of
Growth. It may be assessed at the time of any partial withdrawal or surrender.
The percentages are as follows:

From time to time, and to the extent permitted by law, we may reduce the amount
of the sales charge and the contingent deferred sales charge, the period during
which such charges apply, or both, when Policies are sold to persons or groups
of persons in a manner that reduces sales expenses. We would consider such
factors as: (a) the size and type of group; (b) the amount of Premiums; and/or
(c) other transactions where sales expenses are likely to be reduced.
No sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge is imposed when, as of the
Policy Date, the Owner or the Insured of a Policy issued pursuant to this
Prospectus is: (a) any parent company, affiliate or subsidiary of ours; (b) an
officer, director, employee, retiree, sales representative, or in the case of an
affiliated broker-dealer, registered representative of such company; (c) a
director, officer or trustee of any underlying mutual fund; (d) a director,
officer or employee of any investment manager, sub-advisor, transfer agent,
custodian, auditing, legal or administrative services provider that is providing
investment management, advisory, transfer agency, custodianship, auditing, legal
and/or administrative services to an underlying mutual fund or any affiliate of
such firm; (e) a director, officer, employee or registered representative of a
broker-dealer or insurance agency that has a then current selling agreement with
us and/or with American Skandia Marketing, Incorporated; (f) a director,
officer, employee or authorized representative of any firm providing us or our
affiliates with regular legal, actuarial, auditing, underwriting, claims,
administrative, computer support, marketing, office or other services; (g) the
then current spouse of any such person noted in (b) through (f) above; (h) the
parents of such person noted in (b) through (g) above; (i) such person's
child(ren) or other legal dependent under the age of 21; and (j) the siblings of
any such persons noted in (b) through (h) above.
How much is the contingent deferred tax charge, and when must I pay it?
The contingent deferred tax charge is a percentage of any amount being
surrendered or withdrawn: (a) during the first nine (9) Policy Years; and (b)
that, according to our rules, is a withdrawal of Premium, not a withdrawal of
Growth. It is assessed at the time of any partial withdrawal or surrender. The
percentages are as follows:
----------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------

How much is the maintenance fee and when must I pay it? The maintenance
fee is $2.50 per month. We take the charge from your Account Value monthly in
advance. However, we will waive the maintenance fee on any Monthly Processing
Day if your Account Value is $75,000 or greater.
How much is the transfer fee, and when must I pay it? We charge $10.00
for every transfer after the 12th in each Policy Year. That includes transfers
into a Fixed Allocation and any transfers from a Fixed Allocation unless the
transfer occurs on a Policy Anniversary. For this purpose, all transfers
occurring during the same Valuation Period are considered one transfer. We
assess the transfer fee pro-rata against the Account Value being transferred in
the same ratio as Account Value is being transferred to such investment options.
It is assessed at the time of any transfer subject to this fee.
How are charges deducted from Account Value? We deduct charges from
your investment options pro-rata based on the Account Value in each investment
option. If you maintain Account Value in more than one Fixed Allocation in a
Policy Year, any applicable charges will be deducted on a "last-in, first-out"
basis, starting with the last Fixed Allocation that was made prior to the
Monthly Processing Date the deduction is made. Upon surrender or withdrawal, we
assess charges against the investment options pro-rata in the same ratio as
Account Value is being withdrawn from such investment options.
What charges do the Portfolios make? Each Portfolio charges different
fees. Expenses for the Portfolios are provided in the "Variable Investment
Options" section below. More detailed information about fees and charges can be
found in the prospectuses for the Portfolios.
Buying a Policy
How do I buy a Policy? We require that our standards be met and that we
receive a Premium before we issue a Policy. We need information to determine if
those standards have been met. We require you to submit an Application as part
of our effort to gather the needed information. We may require additional
information, including, but not limited to, some of the Insured's medical
records. We may also require the Insured to take certain medical tests. As part
of our standards, we will not issue a Policy if, as of the Policy Date, the
Insured would be less than Age 20 or older than Age 90. If our standards are not
met and we received a Premium, we will return to you an amount equal to the
Premium. No interest will be paid.
To the extent permitted by law, we reserve the right to apply differing
standards of insurability to persons who may be part of a group or who may
qualify, for some other reason, as part of a different class. Such classes may
include, but are not limited to, persons seeking a Policy who are applying all
or a portion of proceeds from an insurance or annuity contract issued by
American Skandia or an affiliate, or proceeds of a redemption from another
financial product, such as mutual funds, distributed by any of our affiliates or
by an affiliate of any of the Portfolios. One of the criteria we may apply in
such a situation is that such differing standards of insurability apply only
after maintaining funds in such policy, contract, or financial product for a
specified period of time.
What is the Premium, and when do I pay it? The minimum Premium we
generally accept is $10,000. We may accept less under certain circumstances. The
maximum we accept without prior approval by our home office is $500,000. If you
are seeking a specific Face Amount, the Premium will depend on the Insured's
age, risk class and gender, where permitted. We will determine the Face Amount
using the Premium as the Net Single Premium for the Insured's age, risk class
and gender, where permitted. You may submit Premium with the Application if: (a)
the Insured is not over age 80; and (b) the Insured meets certain medical
underwriting criteria. If any portion of the Premium is to be received as part
of a replacement of a life insurance, endowment or annuity policy then we must
receive all our requirements In Writing for all such replacements as of the same
date and any additional Premium amounts other than the proceeds of such
replacement must be received by us at our Office at the same time as we receive
such requirements In Writing. Replacements include tax-free exchanges subject to
our acceptance. We will immediately return any Premium that should not have been
submitted based on these criteria. If we would not accept Premium with the
Application or you chose not to submit a Premium with the Application, we will
notify you if and when we have accepted the Application and agreed, subject to
submission of the Premium, to issue a Policy. We will not issue a Policy until
we receive Premium at our Office. We will not accept Premium of which we were
not informed at the time you submit the Application to us.
You may choose to use our funds transfer authorization procedures as part of
buying a Policy. If you elect this procedure, you authorize us to redeem funds
to pay Premium from one or more financial institutions with which you currently
maintain funds. You must do so In Writing using a form that authorizes us to
obtain such funds only if and when we have determined that the Application meets
our standards for issuing a Policy. If you use this procedure, you must provide
us with all such authorizations simultaneously. If you wish to also pay any
additional amounts, we must receive such Premium amounts at the same time we
receive such authorizations.
The standards we apply in reviewing the Application may depend on factors such
as the proposed Insured's age and the amount of Premium to be applied to the
Policy. In certain cases, we may apply simplified standards. However, the
Premium amount you state in the Application may be an estimate if you are
planning: (a) to replace a life insurance, endowment or annuity policy; (b) to
exchange a life insurance or endowment policy; or (c) to use our funds transfer
authorization procedures. If we used simplified standards based on a Premium
estimate but the actual amounts we receive to be applied as Premium exceed the
limits for such standards, we reserve the right, to the extent permitted by law,
to not issue a Policy and return such amounts directly to you or, on your
behalf, to the financial institution from which the funds were obtained. We
cannot guarantee such institution will accept the return of such amounts.
Am I covered while my Application is being reviewed? We may issue you a
temporary insurance agreement during the "underwriting period." The
"underwriting period" is the period between the time you first apply for a
Policy and the time we either issue the Policy or decide not to issue one. A
temporary insurance agreement may be issued if: (a) the Application is completed
in full; (b) the Insured answers "no" to certain questions on the Application
(these are questions we use as indicators of whether we will issue temporary
insurance); (c) the Insured is age 80 or younger; and (d) a Premium is submitted
with the Application. If we issue a temporary insurance agreement and the
Insured (both Insureds if there are two Insureds) dies during the underwriting
period, the temporary insurance benefit will be payable if all of the conditions
of the temporary insurance agreement are satisfied. The underwriting period
generally will not exceed 45 days. If the Insured(s) die(s) during the
underwriting period and no temporary insurance agreement was in effect, no
benefit is payable.
We will return any Premium submitted with the Application if we cannot complete
underwriting within 45 days from the date the Application is signed. If you
notify us promptly, we will continue the underwriting process and notify you if
and when you meet our standards for issuing a Policy, at which time you may once
again send us a Premium.
Temporary insurance ends 45 days after the Application is signed, even if the
underwriting period exceeds 45 days.
What is the temporary insurance benefit? If the Insured dies while
temporary insurance is in effect, we pay the Beneficiary the lesser of the Face
Amount that would be in effect on the Policy Date if a Policy had been issued or
$250,000. This $250,000 maximum applies to all temporary insurance then in
effect with us. Premium amounts in excess of this benefit are returned to you,
without interest or earnings.
How and when is my Premium invested? We invest the Premium on the Issue
Date. You can request that we allocate the Premium using one or more variable
investment options and/or a Fixed Allocation. However, we initially invest the
portion of the Premium that you indicate to us that you want invested in
variable investment options in the AST Money Market Sub-account, unless you
submit a "return waiver" In Writing before the Issue Date, where permitted by
law. A return waiver is an election by you to invest as soon as possible in the
variable investment options of your choice. If you submit a "return waiver" and
then decide to return your Policy during the "free-look" period, you may receive
back less than the Premium. Generally, we transfer the Account Value in the AST
Money Market Sub-account to the variable investment options you request as of
the Valuation Date which is on or immediately after the 15th day after the date
we issue a Policy. However, we will make the transfer as of a later date if your
"free-look" period is longer than 10 days to meet state law requirements.
What happens if I change my mind about buying a Policy? You have a
"free-look" period during which you can change your mind about buying a Policy.
The free-look period is never less than 10 days from the date you receive your
Policy. It may be longer depending on the applicable state law and the
circumstances of your purchase. If you return your Policy to us within the
free-look period, we generally will return the greater of Premium paid or your
Account Value plus any charges deducted from your Account Value. However, if you
have submitted a "return waiver," we will return only your Account Value plus
any charges deducted from your Account Value. This may be more or less than
Premium paid.
Variable Investment Options
What are the investment objectives and policies of the variable
investment options? What charges are made by the Portfolios in which these
options invest? Each variable investment option is a Sub-account of the Separate
Account. Each Sub-account invests exclusively in one Portfolio. Details about
the investment objectives, policies, risks, costs and management of the
Portfolios are found in the prospectuses for the underlying mutual funds. You
should carefully read such prospectuses for any Portfolio in which you are
interested. To assist you in determining which Portfolios may be of interest to
you, we have provided below a list of the Portfolios, their investment
objectives (in italics) and a short, summary description of their key policies.
Next to each Portfolio's investment objective and policies is the investment
management fee, other expenses, and the total annual expense for such Portfolio.
The total annual expense is the sum of the investment management fee and other
expenses. Each figure is stated as a percentage of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. Except as noted, all expenses shown are after any applicable
reimbursement or waiver of fees. These percentages are fees for the calendar
year that ended December 31, 1997. Those Portfolios below that are marked with
an asterisk (*) have not been in operation for a full year. Therefore, the
expenses shown are estimated and annualized. The underlying mutual fund
portfolio information was provided by the underlying mutual funds and has not
been independently verified by the Company.

</TABLE>
Transfers and Allocation Services
May I transfer Account Value between investment options? You may
transfer Account Value between investment options, but there are limits, as well
as potential charges, which are discussed above in the question "How much is the
transfer fee, and when must I pay it?" Unless you instruct us otherwise, we
permit the agent of record to make transfers on your behalf.
Are there any limits on transfers? No transfers are permitted when the
Policy is in its "grace period." At the time of any transfer, we require that a
minimum of $500.00 be allocated to any investment option in which you maintain
Account Value. If, at the time of a transfer there would be less than $500.00 in
an investment option, we will transfer the remaining Account Value pro rata to
the investment option(s) that you were transferring to. We retain the right to
impose a limit of not more than 12 transfers per Policy Year, including
transfers involving Fixed Allocations. Unless such a limit is in effect, there
is no limit on the number of transfers that only involve variable investment
options, or the number of transfers from variable investment options to make
Fixed Allocations. However, we do limit each transfer from Fixed Allocations
that are to be effective on any day other than a Policy Anniversary to the
greater of 25% of the Account Value in your Fixed Allocations or $1,000. If you
make such a transfer from your Fixed Allocations, you cannot make another such
transfer until either 90 days has passed or the next Policy Anniversary occurs.
We also retain the right to refuse, limit or delay transfers, either for one
Owner or a group of Owners, if we believe there may be adverse consequences for
other Owners.
What are `allocation services'? Allocation services are programs that
automatically transfer Account Value between investment options. Any limitations
on transfers from Fixed Allocations also apply if any allocation services are
being utilized.
What allocation services does American Skandia provide? We support
dollar cost averaging and static rebalancing.
Loans
When can I take a loan? We offer loans using Account Value as
collateral. We do not make loans available during the first Policy Year.
Starting after the first Policy Year, we allow one loan each Policy Year. The
Insured must be alive when you take a loan (if there are two Insureds, at least
one must be alive when a loan is taken). Subject to our rules, we will establish
on the Issue Date a loan equal to the outstanding indebtedness on previous life
insurance exchanged for a Policy.
Is this type of loan tax-free? A loan from this Policy is treated for
income tax purposes as a distribution, similar to a partial withdrawal, in that:
(a) amounts are deemed to come first from any gain in the Policy; (b)
distributions of gain are subject to income tax as ordinary income; and (c) if
the distribution occurs before the taxpayer's age 59 1/2, there may be an
additional 10% tax on any gain distributed.
How much is available for a loan? You can receive loans equal to 90% of
your current Account Value less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge
and contingent deferred tax charge. At the time you take any loan, the amount
then available for a new loan is the maximum otherwise available less any Debt.
The minimum amount you may borrow is $500.
What happens to the Account Value if I take a loan? When you take a
loan, we move Account Value equal to the amount of the loan into the Loan
Account. Account Value in the Loan Account is maintained in our general account.
Unless you give us different instructions, we move Account Value from the
variable investment options and the Fixed Allocations in the same proportion as
your Account Value in the investment options on the Valuation Date we move such
Account Value.
The impact of a loan on your Account Value may be positive or negative. At the
time a loan is taken, there is no impact. However, if the Account Value
transferred to the Loan Account would earn more than would be earned in the
investment options, the loan will have a positive impact on your Account Value
and on the Required Death Benefit. If the Account Value transferred to the Loan
Account would earn less than would be earned in the investment options, the loan
will have a negative impact on your Account Value and on the Required Death
Benefit.
What is the interest rate charged on any loan? You owe us interest on
any loan at the rate of 6.0% per year, compounded yearly, in arrears. Each
Policy Anniversary that the loan is not repaid, we add an amount equal to any
unpaid interest to your Debt.
Does Account Value in the Loan Account earn interest? We credit
interest at the rate of 6.0% per year, compounded yearly, to the Account Value
maintained in the Loan Account that serves as collateral for a "preferred loan."
We credit interest at the rate of 4.0% per year, compounded yearly, to the
Account Value maintained in the Loan Account that serves as collateral for a
"standard loan."
What are a "preferred loan" and a "standard loan"? We determine what
portion of a loan is a "preferred loan" and what portion is a "standard loan" at
the time you take the loan. Whether a loan is "preferred" or "standard" depends
on the source of the collateral to support the loan. We consider the Account
Value moved to the Loan Account to come first from Growth. The portion of any
outstanding loans supported by Account Value drawn from Growth is treated as a
preferred loan. The portion of any outstanding loans supported by Account Value
drawn from other than Growth is treated as a standard loan. A loan retains its
character as "preferred" or "standard" until repaid.
Once a loan is taken, does American Skandia ever require more
`collateral' in the Loan Account? The Loan Account acts as collateral for any
loans from us, so we need to make sure the Debt and the Account Value in the
Loan Account are equal to each other. Therefore, on each Policy Anniversary we
equalize the Debt and the Account Value in the Loan Account. If the Debt is
larger due to outstanding loan interest, we transfer Account Value equal to the
difference pro-rata from the investment options and add it to the Loan Account.
We also match up the Debt and the Loan Account when you repay any portion of the
Debt. If the Account Value in the Loan Account then exceeds the Debt, we
transfer the excess pro-rata to the investment options which you are utilizing
at that time. Any amount then allocated to the fixed option will be treated as a
separate Fixed Allocation.
When must I repay the loan? You are not required to repay the loan
while the Insured is alive, except when an amount is due to keep the Policy in
force or upon reinstatement.
What happens at the Insured's death if I have not repaid the loan? If
there is any outstanding Debt when Death Proceeds are due, we subtract the Debt
from the Death Benefit as part of the calculation of the Death Proceeds.
What happens if I repay any portion of the loan? The amount of Debt is
reduced by the amount of any loan repayment. Any standard loan is repaid before
any preferred loan. The repayment reduces the amount of principal and loan
interest proportionately based on the ratio between principal and loan interest
as of the Valuation Date the loan repayment is applied. We allocate any such
loan repayment to the variable investment and fixed options pro-rata based on
the Account Value in each investment option as of the Valuation Period we
receive your loan repayment. Any amount then allocated to the fixed option will
be treated as a separate Fixed Allocation.
Partial Withdrawals
When can I make a partial withdrawal? We allow partial withdrawals
while the Insured is alive, except that, where permitted by law, you may not
take a partial withdrawal until after the end of the "free-look" period.
How much is available as a partial withdrawal? The maximum partial
withdrawal available at any time equals the then current maximum amount we would
permit as a loan under your Policy. This amount is equal to 90% of your current
Account Value less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge and
contingent deferred tax charge. The minimum amount of a partial withdrawal is
$500.00.
What happens to the Account Value if I take a partial withdrawal? When
you take a partial withdrawal, we reduce your Account Value by an amount equal
to the amount of the partial withdrawal. Unless you give us different
instructions, we take Account Value from the variable investment options and the
Fixed Allocations in the same proportion as your Account Value in the investment
options on the Valuation Date we take such Account Value. If you have multiple
Fixed Allocations, amounts are taken on a "last in, first out" basis. Any
Account Value in the Loan Account is not available for a partial withdrawal.
Is there a charge for a partial withdrawal? We charge any applicable
contingent deferred sales charge and contingent deferred tax charge on the
portion of any partial withdrawal that is not treated as a "free withdrawal" or
for which we waive such charges under the medically-related waiver provision. We
take these charges pro-rata from the investment options from which we take the
Account Value as a result of the partial withdrawal.
What amount can I take as a free withdrawal? In any Policy Year the
maximum amount you can take as a free withdrawal is the greater of Growth or 10%
of the Premium. The following examples may help show what this means. For each
example, assume that the Premium was $50,000.
(a) For this example assume the Account Value as of the Valuation Day
we process your partial withdrawal is $60,000. You request a partial withdrawal
of $25,000. Assume also that you have not requested any other partial
withdrawals during this Policy Year. The free withdrawal amount is the greater
of Growth, which is the current Account Value ($60,000) less the Premium
($50,000), or $10,000, and 10% of the Premium, which is $5,000. Therefore, we
treat $10,000 as the free withdrawal portion of this partial withdrawal.
Assuming that this partial withdrawal request occurs during the "surrender
charge period," and there is no subsequent Growth in that Policy Year, we would
assess the then applicable contingent deferred sales charge and contingent
deferred tax charge on $15,000, which is the portion of the partial withdrawal
that exceeds the free withdrawal amount. The contingent deferred sales charge
and contingent deferred tax charge would apply to the full amount of any
subsequent partial withdrawal you request during the same Policy Year that was
not eligible for a medically-related waiver.
(b) For this example assume the Account Value as of the Valuation Day
we process your partial withdrawal request for the "maximum free withdrawal
amount" is $47,000. Assume also that you have not requested any other partial
withdrawals during this Policy Year. The free withdrawal amount is the greater
of Growth, which is the current Account Value ($47,000) less the Premium
($50,000), or $3,000, and 10% of the Premium, which is $5,000. Therefore, the
maximum free withdrawal amount is $5,000. Assuming that this partial withdrawal
request occurs during the "surrender charge period," and there is no subsequent
Growth in that Policy Year, the contingent deferred sales charge and the
contingent deferred tax charge would apply to any subsequent surrender or
partial withdrawal that Policy Year that was not eligible for a
medically-related waiver.
Does a partial withdrawal affect the Death Benefit? A partial
withdrawal reduces the Required Death Benefit. The Required Death Benefit is
reduced because the Account Value, which is used in calculating the Required
Death Benefit, has been reduced. It also reduces the Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit in the same proportion as the Account Value is reduced by the partial
withdrawal. The effect on the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is described
above in response to the question "What is the Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit."
Can I put back funds taken as a partial withdrawal? No.
Surrenders
When can I surrender my Policy? You can surrender your Policy after the
end of the free-look period as long as the Insured is alive.
What is paid out when a Policy is surrendered? If you surrender the
Policy, we will pay you the Cash Value.
Accelerated Death Benefit
What is an accelerated death benefit? An accelerated death benefit is
pre-payment to the Insured of a portion of the Death Proceeds. The maximum we
will pay, before any reductions, is the lesser of 50% of the Required Death
Benefit or $250,000. The actual amount is reduced by a 12-month interest rate
discount (currently 6.0%) and a pro-rata portion of any Debt. We reserve the
right to change the interest rate discount percentage.
When will American Skandia make such a payment? We will make such a
payment one time, where allowed by law, based on the Owner's request. The
Insured may not request such a payment unless the Insured is also the Owner. We
only make the payment if we receive all our requirements. Our requirements
include, but are not limited to, proof satisfactory to us In Writing that the
Insured (the last surviving Insured if there are two Insureds) became terminally
ill, as defined in your Policy: (a) at least 30 days after the Issue Date; or
(b) as a result of an accident that occurred after the Issue Date. To the extent
permitted by law, we will change our procedures in relation to this benefit or
the definition of terminally ill or any other applicable term in order to
maintain the tax-free status of any amounts paid out under this provision.
What happens to the remaining benefits if American Skandia makes such a
payment? Any such payment reduces the Account Value, the Premium, the Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit and any Debt in the same ratio as the Required Death
Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Period such a payment is made. You should
consult a tax advisor on the tax consequences of such a payment. Please refer to
Appendix B for a hypothetical illustration of the accelerated death benefit
provision.
Medically-Related Waiver
What is a medically-related waiver? The medically-related waiver is
available by rider to the Policy, currently with no charge to you. A
medically-related waiver is our waiver of the contingent deferred sales charge
and the contingent deferred tax charge that would otherwise apply to a partial
withdrawal or surrender. Note that while the accelerated death benefit is
payable to the Insured, the medically-related waiver is a benefit, while based
on the Insured's life, that is of value to the Owner, who normally is the
recipient of amounts paid as a partial withdrawal or surrender.
When would American Skandia waive these charges? We will consider
waiving the contingent deferred sales charge and contingent deferred tax charge,
where allowed by law, based on your request. We only waive these charges if we
receive all of our requirements. Our requirements include, but are not limited
to proof satisfactory to us In Writing that the Insured (the last surviving
Insured if there is more than one Insured) has continuously been confined to a
long term care facility, such as a nursing home or a hospital, as defined in the
rider, and that such confinement started after the Issue Date.
Are there any restrictions on medically-related waivers? We will only
consider waiving the contingent deferred sales charge and the contingent
deferred tax charge on a partial withdrawal or surrender up to $500,000. The
$500,000 maximum will apply to a partial withdrawal(s) or surrender, regardless
of when taken, on any life insurance policy or annuity contract issued by
American Skandia where the Insured under this Policy is named as the Insured,
Owner or Annuitant under the other policy or contract.
What happens to the remaining benefits if American Skandia makes such a
payment in connection with a partial withdrawal? A partial withdrawal for which
we grant a medically-related waiver has the same impact on the remaining
benefits that results from any other partial withdrawal. We simply do not deduct
the contingent deferred sales charge and contingent deferred tax charge that
otherwise would apply.
Risks
What are the risks, and who takes the risks? We bear the risk that, for
all the Policies issued, when considered together, our expenses exceed our
charges, including the expense for providing from our general account the
difference at death between the Account Value and the Death Benefit. We also
bear the investment and reinvestment risk in providing interest crediting
guarantees to Fixed Allocations and to the Loan Account, as well as for any
settlement options that assume a fixed rate of return. We also bear the risk in
guaranteeing the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit if your Policy lapses and you
do not have any Debt. You bear the investment risk when allocating Account Value
to any variable investment option, since that will affect the amount available
for any loans, partial withdrawals or surrender. Any irrevocable beneficiary
bears the risk as to the Death Proceeds, which are affected by investment
performance of the investment options, the age at which the Insured dies, any
loan or withdrawal activity by the Owner prior to the Insured's death or payment
of an accelerated death benefit.
Other Rights
Do I have any other rights if I buy a Policy? There are certain other
ownership rights you may exercise under a Policy. Some of these rights include,
but are not limited to, the following. You may name a Beneficiary. You may make
that designation "irrevocable," which means it cannot be changed. If you do not
designate the Beneficiary as irrevocable, you retain the right to change the
Beneficiary before the Insured dies. You may transfer, pledge or assign your
Policy, which may trigger a currently taxable event. You should only transfer,
pledge or assign your Policy after consulting with a competent tax advisor. You
may exercise voting rights in relation to the applicable Portfolios. Some of
these rights may be limited depending on the usage of your Policy, especially if
it is held in connection with certain retirement plans designed to be
"qualified" plans under the Code.
The Separate Account
What supports American Skandia's obligation to me if I buy a Policy?
The benefits provided by the Policy are our obligations. The assets supporting
our obligations equaling the Account Value allocated to the variable investment
options are held in our Separate Account F. We maintain assets in our general
account to support our obligations: (1) equal to the Account Value allocated to
the fixed option; (2) equal to the Account Value in the Loan Account; (3) for
the portion of the Death Proceeds greater than the Account Value; (4) for any
settlement option; and (5) for any other obligation we may have in relation to a
Policy.
The Separate Account was established under the laws of Connecticut.
Assets in the Separate Account may support obligations created in relation to
the Policies described in this Prospectus or other policies we offer. We are the
legal owner of the assets in the Separate Account. Income, gains and losses,
whether or not realized, are credited or charged to the Separate Account
according to the terms of the Policies and any other policies supported by the
assets in the Separate Account without regard to our other income, gains or
losses or to the income, gains or losses in any other of our separate accounts.
We will maintain assets in the Separate Account with a total market value at
least equal to the reserve and other liabilities we must maintain in relation to
the life insurance policies supported by such assets. These assets may only be
charged with liabilities that arise from such life insurance policies.
Separate Account F is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit
investment trust, which is a type of investment company. This does not involve
any supervision by the SEC of the investment policies, management or practices
of the Separate Account or of us. The Separate Account meets the definition of
"separate account" under the federal securities law.
The only Sub-accounts available to you are those offered in this
Prospectus. These Sub-accounts are available as investment options for other
policies we offer. Sub-accounts are permitted to invest in Portfolios we
consider suitable. The Portfolios in which the Sub-accounts invest are available
to Sub-accounts of other separate accounts, including separate accounts we use
in relation to a number of variable annuities. Separate accounts of other
insurers and of various qualified retirement plans may also invest in the
Portfolios.
Taxes
What are the taxes connected to the Policy? Federal and state tax laws,
as well as the interpretations of those laws, change. In addition, we do not
know your particular circumstances, which is one of a number of reasons why we
cannot give you tax advice. You should consult a professional tax advisor for
tax advice for your particular situation. You should also be sure to read the
"Additional Tax Considerations" section appearing later in this Prospectus,
which includes, but is not limited to, information regarding estate taxes. What
we do provide are some brief summary answers to the following questions about
Federal income taxes.
Is gain in the Policy taxed every year? Under most circumstances, any
gain in the Policy is not taxed currently. However, if you assign or pledge the
Policy, we expect to report any gain in the Policy as then currently taxable as
ordinary income. In addition, except in the case of a partial assignment as of
the Policy Date, we expect to report gain in the Policy as currently taxable in
each tax year the assignment remains in effect.
How are amounts that I receive before the Insured's death taxed?
Amounts you receive as a partial withdrawal, a loan or if you surrender the
Policy are deemed for income tax purposes to come first from any gain in the
Policy. Any gain is taxed as ordinary income. Any portion of these types of
distributions representing gain in the Policy may be subject to a 10% tax
penalty if taken before your age 59 1/2.
What are the taxes due on the Death Proceeds? Under most circumstances,
the Beneficiary does not pay any income tax on the Death Proceeds.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS AND ADDITIONAL DETAILS: The following sections provide
additional information you should consider before purchasing a Policy.
Providing Services to You
You can reach us by telephone at 1-888-554-3348 or through our Internet Website
at http://www.americanskandia.com. We may require that you provide us with
proper identification before we release information about your Policy or accept
instructions received over the phone, the Internet or via any other electronic
means. We may require that you provide your Social Security or tax
identification number. We also may require you to present the personal
identification number ("PIN") we provide you after we issue a Policy. To the
extent permitted by law or regulation, neither we nor any person authorized by
us will be responsible for any claim, loss, liability or expense in connection
with a transaction, including but not limited to a transfer between investment
options, over the phone, the Internet or via any other electronic means.
However, this will only be the case if we or such authorized person acted: (a)
in good faith reliance that you authorized the transaction; and (b) on
reasonable procedures to identify you or your designee though a number of
verification methods. These methods may include taping phone conversations,
requesting Social Security or tax identification numbers, PINs, confirming
electronic mail addresses, or similar means. We may be liable for losses due to
unauthorized or fraudulent instructions should we not follow such reasonable
procedures.
We may require that you submit forms In Writing for certain transactions. We
require the written consent of all joint Owners for any transaction for which we
require the Owner's written consent.
Designations
Certain designations apply to a Policy - the Owner, the Insured and the
Beneficiary. All designations are subject to our rules and our acceptance. We
assume all designations, other than the Insured, are revocable unless you tell
us otherwise. You should consult with a competent tax advisor on the income tax,
estate and inheritance tax implications of various designations. You should also
consult with a competent legal advisor as to the implications of certain
designations in relation to an estate, bankruptcy and community property, where
applicable, as well as other matters.
We assume the Insured is the Owner unless you tell us otherwise. If you name
more than one Owner, all rights reserved to Owners are then held jointly. Naming
someone to be the Owner other than the payor of the Premium may have gift,
estate or other tax implications.
We assume the Beneficiary is you or your estate unless you tell us otherwise.
You may name more than one primary and more than one contingent Beneficiary.
Net Investment Factor
For each Sub-account the initial Unit Price was $10.00. The Unit Price for each
subsequent Valuation Period is the net investment factor for that Valuation
Period, multiplied by the Unit Price for the immediately preceding Valuation
Period. The net investment factor is (1) divided by (2), less (3), where:
(1) is the net result of:
(a) the net asset value per share of the underlying Portfolio at
the end of the current Valuation Period plus the per share
amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution declared
and unpaid by the Portfolio during that Valuation Period; plus
or minus
(b) any per share charge or credit during the Valuation Period as
a provision for taxes attributable to the operation or
maintenance of that Sub-account.
(2) is the net result of:
(a) the net asset value per share plus any declared or unpaid
dividends per share of the underlying Portfolio shares held in
that Sub-account at the end of the preceding Valuation Period;
plus or minus
(b) any per share charge or credit during the preceding Valuation
Period as a provision for taxes attributable to the operation
or maintenance of the Sub-account.
(3) is the mortality and expense risk charges and the administration
charge.
Allocation Programs
We may provide administrative support for various programs that automatically
transfer Account Value between certain investment options at scheduled times.
These include dollar cost averaging and static rebalancing (periodic rebalancing
of Account Values between investment options to conform to preset percentages).
However, we only offer to support such allocation programs according to our
rules. While we are offering to support these programs as of the date of this
Prospectus, we do not guarantee to support these programs at all times.
We may also provide administrative support for various allocation programs that
may be made available by your financial professional. These may include various
asset allocation and market timing programs. In connection with such programs,
we may support periodic withdrawals from your Policy to pay your financial
professional. We only offer to support such programs according to our rules.
These rules may include, but are not limited to, receipt of your authorization
In Writing permitting a financial professional to make transfers between
investment options on your behalf, or to enroll your Policy in one of the
allocation programs for which we provide administrative support. We will permit
the agent of record to make transfers on your behalf unless you give us other
instructions.
Any financial professional you authorize may or may not be appointed by us as
our agent for the sale of Policies. However, we do not engage any agent of
record or any third parties to offer investment allocation services of any type,
so that persons or firms offering such services do so independent from any
agency relationship they may have with us for the sale of Policies. We therefore
take no responsibility for the investment allocations and transfers transacted
on your behalf by such third parties, in accordance with any allocation programs
employed by such third parties or any investment allocation recommendations made
by such third parties. While we are offering support for a number of these
programs as of the date of this Prospectus, we do not support all such programs
and do not guarantee to always continue support for those programs we currently
support or may support in the future.
Limitations on Transfers
We retain the right to refuse or delay transfers, either for one Owner or a
group of Owners, if we believe that: (a) excessive trading or a specific
transfer request or group of transfer requests may have a detrimental effect on
Unit Prices or the share prices of the Portfolios; or (b) we are informed by one
or more of the Portfolios that the purchase or redemption of shares is to be
restricted because of excessive trading or a specific transfer or group of
transfers is deemed to have a detrimental effect on the share prices of affected
Portfolios.
Death During the Grace Period
If the Insured dies during a grace period while there is any Debt and before we
receive any payment, we deduct the unpaid charges from the Death Benefit when
calculating the Death Proceeds. For more information on the grace period, please
refer to the response to the question "Do I have to maintain a minimum Cash
Value?"
Reinstatement
You may apply for reinstatement of the Policy if it lapses. We must receive this
application In Writing at our Office within 3 years of the date the lapse
occurred as measured from the end of the grace period. We may require evidence
of insurability satisfactory to us. In order to reinstate your Policy, you also
must pay us a reinstatement amount, including any applicable charges and any
Debt.
Maturity
A Policy "matures" as of the Policy Anniversary on which the Insured is Age 95.
If there are two Insureds, a Policy "matures" as of the Policy Anniversary on
which the younger Insured is Age 95 or would have been Age 95 if the younger
Insured is then deceased. We will pay out the Cash Value once the Policy
matures. The Policy will then end, and we will not have any more obligations
under the Policy. We may provide a rider, where permitted by law, that allows
the Policy to mature at a later date if there is adequate guidance available to
us regarding the tax treatment of all Policies if we were to permit extension of
the maturity date. Should we permit such extension of the maturity, we advise
you to seek tax advice regarding your specific circumstances should you want the
Policy to mature at a later date. If the Policy is no longer treated as life
insurance after any extension of maturity, gain in the Policy may be taxable to
you in the year of the original maturity and all or a portion of the Death
Proceeds may be taxable to the beneficiary.
Pricing Transactions
We "price" charges, transfers, distributions and payments on the dates indicated
below. If such transactions are scheduled to occur on other than a Valuation
Day, we price such transactions as of the following Valuation Period.
(1) We price "scheduled" transactions such as monthly deductions,
transfers and distributions as of the date such transactions are so scheduled.
However, if a transaction is "scheduled" to occur on a day other than a
Valuation Day, such transaction will be processed and priced on the last
Valuation Day prior to the scheduled transaction. "Scheduled" transactions
include, but are not limited to, all charges deducted on a Monthly Processing
Date, equalization of Debt and the Account Value in the Loan Account on a Policy
Anniversary, transfers under a dollar cost averaging program or transfers
previously scheduled with us at our Office as part of any rebalancing, asset
allocation or similar program, or any program of scheduled distributions.
(2) We price "unscheduled" transactions such as transfers, loans or
partial withdrawals that are not subject to any medical waiver as of the date we
receive at our Office the request for such transactions. "Unscheduled" transfers
include any transfers processed in conjunction with any market timing program,
or transfers not previously scheduled with us at our Office pursuant to any
rebalancing, asset allocation or similar program which you employ or you
authorize to be employed on your behalf. "Unscheduled" transfers received
pursuant to an authorization to accept transfer instructions using voice or data
transmission over the phone are priced as of the Valuation Period we receive the
request at our Office for such transactions. We price unscheduled payments as of
the date we receive such amounts at our Office. These include loan repayments,
payments to keep a Policy in effect during a grace period or a reinstatement
payment.
(3) We price surrenders, withdrawals subject to a medical waiver,
accelerated death benefit payments and payment of Death Proceeds as of the date
we receive at our Office all materials we require for such transactions and such
materials are satisfactory to us.
Delaying Transactions
We may defer any distribution or transfer from a Fixed Allocation or any payment
under a fixed settlement option for a period not to exceed the lesser of six (6)
months or the period permitted by law. If we defer a distribution or transfer
from any Fixed Allocation or any payment under a settlement option for more than
thirty days, or less where required by law, we pay interest at the minimum rate
required by law but not less than 3% per year on the amount deferred. We may
defer payment of proceeds of any distribution from any Sub-account or any
transfer from a Sub-account for a period not to exceed seven (7) calendar days
from the date the transaction is effected. This is a delay in payment only, and
is not a delay in the pricing of any such distribution or transfer. Any deferral
period begins on the date such distribution or transfer would otherwise have
been transacted.
All procedures, including distributions, based on the valuation of the
Sub-accounts may be postponed during the period: (1) the New York Stock Exchange
is closed (other than customary holidays or weekends) or trading on the New York
Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the SEC; (2) the SEC permits
postponement and so orders; or (3) the SEC determines that an emergency exists
making valuation or disposal of securities not reasonably practical.
Voting
You have voting rights in relation to Account Value maintained in the
Sub-accounts. You do not have voting rights in relation to Account Value
maintained in any Fixed Allocations, in the Loan Account or in relation to fixed
payments under a settlement option.
We will vote shares of the Portfolios in which the Sub-accounts invest in the
manner directed by Owners, unless we, in our sole discretion, determine that we
are required by law or regulation to vote otherwise. Owners have voting rights
equal to the number of shares represented by the Sub-account Units attributable
to their Policy.
We will vote the shares attributable to assets held in the Sub-accounts solely
for us rather than on behalf of Owners, or any share as to which we have not
received instructions, in the same manner and proportion as the shares for which
we have received instructions. We will do so separately for each Sub-account
from various classes that may invest in the same underlying mutual fund
portfolio.
The number of votes for a Portfolio will be determined as of the record date for
such Portfolio as chosen by its board of trustees or board of directors, as
applicable. We will furnish Owners with proper forms and proxies to enable them
to instruct us how to vote.
You may instruct us how to vote on the following matters: (a) changes to the
board of trustees or board of directors, as applicable; (b) changing the
independent accountant; (c) approval of changes to the investment advisory
agreement or adoption of a new investment advisory agreement; (d) any change in
the fundamental investment policy; and (e) any other matter requiring a vote of
the shareholders.
With respect to approval of changes to the investment advisory agreement,
approval of a new investment advisory agreement or any change in fundamental
investment policy, only Owners maintaining Account Value as of the record date
in a Sub-account investing in the applicable Portfolio will instruct us how to
vote on the matter, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 18f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
Transfers, Assignments, Pledges
Generally, your rights in a Policy may be transferred, assigned or pledged at
any time. These transactions may be subject to income taxes and certain penalty
taxes. You may transfer, assign or pledge your rights to another person at any
time, prior to the death upon which the Death Benefit is payable. You must
request a transfer or provide us a copy of the assignment In Writing. A transfer
or assignment is subject to our acceptance. We will not be deemed to know of or
be obligated under any assignment prior to our receipt and acceptance thereof.
We assume no responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of any assignment.
Reports
We send any statements and reports required by applicable law or regulation to
you at your last known address of record. You should therefore give us prompt
notice of any address change. We reserve the right, to the extent permitted by
law, to provide any prospectus, prospectus supplements, confirmations,
statements and reports required by applicable law or regulation to you through
our Internet Website at http://www.americanskandia.com or any other electronic
means. We send a confirmation statement to you each time an unscheduled
transaction is made affecting Account Value. Such transactions will generally
include changes in investment allocation or transfers among investment options,
loans and loan repayments, partial surrenders or withdrawals, and any charges
associated with such unscheduled transactions. We also send quarterly statements
detailing the activity affecting your Policy during the prior quarter, including
all scheduled and unscheduled transactions. To the extent permitted by law, some
types of scheduled transactions will only be confirmed on a quarterly basis.
Such transactions will generally include those pre-authorized charges deducted
on the Monthly Processing Date. You may request additional reports. We reserve
the right to charge up to $50 for each such additional report. You should review
the information in these statements carefully. You must report all errors or
corrections to us at our Office immediately to assure proper crediting to your
Policy. For transactions that are confirmed immediately, we assume all
transactions are accurate unless you notify us otherwise within 30 days after
the date of the transaction. For transactions that are only confirmed on the
quarterly statement, we assume all transactions are accurate unless you notify
us within 30 days of the end of the calendar quarter. We may also send you or
make available electronically through our Internet Website an annual report and
a semi-annual report containing financial statements for the applicable
Sub-accounts, as of December 31 and June 30, respectively.
Incontestability
We may not contest the validity of a Policy after it has been in effect during
the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Issue Date. If there are two
Insureds, this applies to the lifetime of either Insured. If the Policy is
reinstated, to the extent permitted by law, we may not contest the validity of a
Policy after it has been in effect for two years from the date of the
reinstatement.
Suicide
If an Insured commits suicide within two years of the Issue Date (or whatever
maximum period is permitted under law) or the date of a reinstatement if allowed
by law, the Death Benefit will be the greater of: (a) Premium paid less any
outstanding Debt and any partial withdrawals; or (b) the Cash Value. All other
requirements as to calculation and payment of Death Proceeds will apply.
Misstatement
We will adjust the amount of the Death Proceeds to conform to the facts if the
age or gender of an Insured is incorrectly stated. We will do so as specified in
the Policy and as permitted by law.
Backdating
Depending on your Age at the time you apply for a Policy, it may be advantageous
to have the Policy Date be earlier than the Issue Date. This is known as
"backdating." Doing so may enable you to qualify for lower cost of insurance
charges. We only permit backdating if: (a) doing so will qualify you for a lower
cost of insurance charge; and (b) the Policy Date is the no earlier than the
date the Application is signed and in no case more than 90 days before the Issue
Date. If you elect backdating, on the Issue Date we will deduct charges that
would have been deducted as of the Policy Date and any Monthly Processing Dates
between the Policy Date and the Issue Date. To the extent permitted by law, we
do not guarantee any increase in the Account Value for the period between the
Policy Date and the Issue Date. However, we also reserve the right, to the
extent permitted by law, to credit you a fixed rate of interest for such period.
Policy Loans on Exchanges
Subject to our rules, we will establish a loan on a Policy that you purchase as
part of an exchange that is not subject to current taxation in accordance with
Section 1035 of the Code. The amount of the loan will be equal to the loan that
was in effect before you surrendered your prior policy. Under our rules we will,
among other things, increase the Account Value as of the Policy Date by the
amount of the loan and allocate that portion of the increased Account Value to
the Loan Account as collateral for the loan. By increasing the Account Value,
there will be a corresponding increase in the Face Amount and the Required Death
Benefit. In addition, for purposes of determining the Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit, we will deem the "Premium" to be the amounts paid plus the loan amount
as of the Policy Date. Any contingent deferred sales charge and contingent
deferred tax charge will be based on the actual amounts received, not such
amounts plus the amount of the loan. All charges that are calculated as a
percentage of your Account Value will increase because the Account Value will be
increased by the amount of the loan.
Resolving Material Conflicts
The Portfolios may be available to registered separate accounts offering either
or both life and annuity contracts of insurance companies not affiliated with
us. We also may offer life insurance policies and/or annuity contracts that
offer different variable investment options from those offered under this
Policy, but which invest in the same Portfolios. It is possible that differences
might arise between our Separate Account F and one or more accounts of other
insurance companies which offer a Portfolio as a sub-account. It is also
possible that differences might arise between a Sub-account offered under this
Policy and variable investment options offered under different life insurance
policies or annuities we offer, even though such different variable investment
options invest in the same Portfolio. In some cases, it is possible that the
differences could be considered "material conflicts." Such a "material conflict"
could also arise due to changes in the law (such as state insurance law or
Federal tax law) which affect either these different life and annuity separate
accounts or differing life insurance policies and annuities. It could also arise
by reason of differences in voting instructions of persons with voting rights
under our policies and/or annuities and those of other companies, persons with
voting rights under annuities and those with rights under life policies, or
persons with voting rights under one of our life policies or annuities with
those under other life policies or annuities we offer. It could also arise for
other reasons. We will monitor events so we can identify how to respond to such
conflicts. If such a conflict occurs, we will take the necessary action to
protect persons with voting rights under our life policies or annuities
vis-a-vis those with rights under life policies or annuities offered by other
insurance companies. We will also take the necessary action to treat equitably
persons with voting rights under this Policy and any persons with voting rights
under any other life policy or annuity we offer.
Modification of the Separate Account
We reserve the right to do any or all of the following: (a) combine any
Sub-account(s) with any other Sub-account(s); (b) combine Separate Account F or
a portion thereof with other separate accounts; (c) deregister Separate Account
F under the Investment Company Act of 1940; (d) operate Separate Account F as a
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or in any
other form permitted by law; (e) make changes required by any change in the
Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Investment
Company Act of 1940; (f) make changes that are necessary to maintain the tax
status of your Policy under the Code; and (g) make changes required by any
change in other Federal or state laws relating to life insurance policies in
general or variable life insurance policies in particular.
We may also make additional Sub-accounts available to you from time to time.
These Sub-accounts will invest in Portfolios we believe to be suitable for the
Policy. We may or may not make a new Sub-account available to invest in any new
portfolio of one of the current underlying mutual funds should such a portfolio
be made available to Separate Account F.
We may eliminate Sub-accounts, combine two or more Sub-accounts or substitute
one or more new underlying mutual funds or portfolios for the one in which a
Sub-account is invested. Substitutions may be necessary if we believe a
Portfolio no longer suits the purpose of the Policy. This may happen due to a
change in laws or regulations, or a change in the investment objectives or
restrictions of a Portfolio, or because the Portfolio is no longer available for
investment, or for some other reason. We would obtain prior approval from the
insurance department of our state of domicile, if so required by law, before
making such a substitution, combination, deletion or addition. We also would
obtain prior approval from the SEC so long as required by law, and any other
required approvals before making such a substitution, combination, deletion or
addition.
Entire Contract
For any Policy issued, the entire contract between you and us includes the
Policy form and any of the following which may be attached to the Policy: riders
or endorsements, the copy of any Application and endorsements. All statements
made in any Application are deemed to be representations and not warranties. No
statement is used to void a Policy or defend a claim unless it is contained in
any Application attached to the Policy.
Only our President, one of our Vice Presidents or our Secretary may change or
waive any provisions of a Policy. Any change or waiver must be In Writing. To
the extent permitted by law, we are not bound by any promises or representations
made by or to any other person.
Additional Tax Considerations
The following is a brief summary of certain Federal tax laws as they are
currently interpreted. No one can be certain that the laws or interpretations
will remain unchanged or that agencies or courts will always agree as to how the
tax law or regulations are to be interpreted. This discussion is not intended as
tax advice. You may wish to consult a professional tax advisor for tax advice as
to your particular situation.
Our taxation: We are taxed as a life insurance company under Part I, subchapter
L, of the Code.
Treatment as a "modified endowment contract": Under most circumstances, taxes on
any gain in the Policy are `deferred' and not taxed every year. Unless your
Policy is established as part of an eligible exchange of a life insurance policy
entered into before June 21, 1988, amounts you receive as a partial withdrawal,
a loan or as a surrender are taxed in the same manner as distributions from a
deferred annuity before annuity payments begin. This means that these types of
distributions are deemed to come first from any gain in the policy and that any
gain is treated as ordinary income. It also means that distributions of gain may
be subject to a 10% tax penalty if taken before age 59 1/2. Under most
circumstances, the Beneficiary will not pay any income tax on the Death
Proceeds.
Assignment: If you assign or pledge any portion of the Policy, the transaction
is treated as a distribution subject to taxation as ordinary income. The tax
penalty noted above may apply. In addition, except in the case of a partial
assignment as of the Policy Date, we expect to report gain in the Policy as
currently taxable in each tax year the assignment remains in effect.
Gifts: If you give your Policy as a gift to an entity for which you are not the
taxpayer or to anyone other than your spouse (or former spouse incident to a
divorce), the gift is treated for tax purposes as a distribution.
Aggregation rules: You may purchase more than one life insurance policy from us
in the same calendar year that is treated under the Code as a "modified
endowment contract," including the Policy described in this Prospectus. If you
do, all such policies are subject to "aggregation rules." Under these rules, all
of these policies must be treated as one modified endowment contract when
determining the portion of any distribution or deemed distribution which is
currently taxable. It is also possible that these aggregation rules may apply to
any annuity contracts you purchase from us in the same calendar year as you
purchase a Policy.
Exchanges: Section 1035 of the Code permits certain tax-free exchanges of life
insurance policies. You must comply with various requirements for such exchanges
to be treated as tax-free, which include, but are not limited to: (a) the need
for the insured to be the same individual or individuals before and after the
exchange; and (b) the need to have the Debt on a Policy as of the date all
premium is received equal to any outstanding indebtedness on the life insurance
exchanged for the Policy. If you exchange a life insurance policy entered into
before June 21, 1988 which is not a modified endowment contract, we believe the
new policy generally will not be treated as a modified endowment contract if no
new premium is paid and there is no reduction in the death benefit as a result
of the exchange. For those Policies not treated as modified endowment contracts,
we believe that loans are not treated as distributions and withdrawals are
deemed to come first from your investment in the policy. In addition, we believe
that the aggregation rules as well as the tax treatment of assignments, pledges
and gifts, noted above, would not apply. However, we cannot guarantee this tax
treatment and advise you to consult your tax advisor before exchanging any
existing life insurance policy.
Transfers between investment options: Transfers between investment options are
not subject to taxation. The Treasury Department may promulgate guidelines under
which a variable life insurance policy will not be treated as life insurance for
tax purposes if persons with ownership rights have excessive control over the
investments underlying such a policy. Such guidelines may or may not address the
number of investment options or the number of transfers between investment
options offered. It is not known whether such guidelines, if in fact
promulgated, would have retroactive effect. It is also not known what effect, if
any, such guidelines may have on transfers between the investment options of the
Policy offered pursuant to this Prospectus. We will take any action, including
modifications to your Policy or the Sub-accounts, required to comply with such
guidelines if promulgated.
Generation skipping transfers: Under the Code certain taxes may be due when
all or part of a life insurance policy is transferred to or a death benefit is
paid to an individual two or more generations younger than the policy holder.
These generation-skipping transfers generally include those subject to federal
estate or gift tax rules. There is an aggregate $1 million exemption from tax on
all such transfers. We may be required to determine whether a transaction is a
direct skip as defined in the Code and the amount of the resulting tax. We will
deduct from your Policy or from any applicable payment to be treated as a direct
skip any amount we are required to pay.
Diversification: Section 817(h) of the Code provides that a variable life
insurance policy, in order to qualify as life insurance, must have an
"adequately diversified" segregated asset account (including investments in a
mutual fund by the segregated asset account of insurance companies). The
Treasury Department's regulations prescribe the diversification requirements for
variable life insurance policy. We believe the underlying mutual fund portfolios
should comply with the terms of these regulations.
Withholding: Section 3405 of the Code provides for Federal income tax
withholding on the portion of a distribution which is includible in the gross
income of the recipient. Amounts to be withheld depend upon the nature of the
distribution. However, under most circumstances a recipient may elect not to
have income taxes withheld or have income taxes withheld at a different rate by
filing a completed election form with us. A withholding form may be required.
Accelerated Death Benefits: Payments of amounts to an Insured that otherwise
would be payable to the Beneficiary as a result of an Insured's death can
qualify for the same tax-free treatment as death benefits if certain
requirements are met. These are requirements regarding the terminal illness of
the insured. We believe payments under the provisions of the accelerated death
benefit of the Policy will meet the requirements of the Code and the regulations
in order to qualify as tax-free payments.
Extending the Policy's Maturity: We believe that a Policy will continue to be
treated as life insurance and as a modified endowment contract under the Code if
you extend the Policy's maturity under any extended maturity rider we may offer
in the future. However, this tax treatment is not certain, so you should consult
your tax advisor before taking this step. If the Policy is not treated as life
insurance after any extension of maturity, gain in the Policy may no longer be
taxed deferred, and all or a portion of the Death Proceeds may be taxable to the
Beneficiary.
Survivorship Policies: The Code does not directly address how certain features
of a policy paying on the death of a surviving insured should be treated. We
believe such a Policy should be treated as other life insurance policies, but
there is some uncertainty as to whether that is the case. If the surviving
Insured is an Owner, the Death Proceeds payable as a result of the death of the
last surviving Insured generally will be treated as part of the Owner's estate
for purposes of the federal estate tax. If the surviving Insured was not an
Owner, the replacement cost of the Policy may be included in the estate of the
Owner upon his or her death and Death Proceeds payable as a result of the death
of the surviving Insured are includible in the person's estate if the proceeds
are payable to or for the benefit of that person's estate or if the surviving
Insured held incidents of ownership in the Policy within three years prior to
death.
Taxes other than Federal income taxes: Amounts received or deemed received from
a Policy that may be subject to Federal income tax also may be subject to state
income taxes. The fair market value of a Policy or the Death Proceeds may be
included under certain circumstances in an estate for purposes of state
inheritance taxes or Federal estate taxes. Federal estate and gift taxes are
integrated for various purposes. An unlimited marital deduction may apply for
purposes of Federal estate and gift taxes, which would allow deferral of taxes
until the death of the surviving spouse.
Safekeeping of the Assets
We maintain the assets of the Separate Account and those in our general account.
The assets of the Separate Account are segregated from those in our general
account.
Regulation
We are organized as a Connecticut stock life insurance company, and are subject
to Connecticut law governing insurance companies. We are regulated and
supervised by the Connecticut Commissioner of Insurance. By March 1 of every
year, we must prepare and file an annual statement, in a form prescribed by the
Connecticut Insurance Department, which covers our operations for the preceding
calendar year, and must prepare and file our statement of financial condition as
of December 31 of such year. The Commissioner and his or her agents have the
right at all times to review or examine our books and assets. A full examination
of our operations will be conducted periodically according to the rules and
practices of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). We
are subject to the insurance laws and various Federal and state securities laws
and regulations and to regulatory agencies, such as the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Connecticut Banking Department, which administer those laws
and regulations.
We can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred by
insolvent insurers under the insurance guaranty fund laws of most states. We
cannot predict or estimate the amount any such future assessments we may have to
pay. However, the insurance guaranty laws of most states provide for deferring
payment or exempting a company from paying such an assessment if it would
threaten such insurer's financial strength.
Several states, including Connecticut, regulate insurers and their affiliates
under insurance holding company laws and regulations. This applies to us and our
affiliates. Under such laws, inter-company transactions, such as dividend
payments to parent companies and transfers of assets, may be subject to prior
notice and approval, depending on factors such as the size of the transaction in
relation to the financial position of the companies.
Currently, the federal government does not directly regulate the business of
insurance. However, federal legislative, regulatory and judicial decisions and
initiatives often have significant effects on our business. Types of changes
that are most likely to affect our business include changes to: (a) the taxation
of life insurance companies; (b) the tax treatment of insurance products; (c)
the securities laws, particularly as they relate to insurance and annuity
products; (d) the "business of insurance" exemption from many of the provisions
of the anti-trust laws; (e) the barriers preventing most banks from selling or
underwriting insurance: and (f) any initiatives directed toward improving the
solvency of insurance companies. We would also be affected by federal
initiatives that have impact on the ownership of or investment in United States
companies by foreign companies or investors.
Legal Matters
The law firm of Werner & Kennedy has passed on the legal matters relating to the
offering of these Policies.
Legal Proceedings
As of the date of this Prospectus, neither we nor American Skandia Marketing,
Incorporated were involved in any litigation outside of the ordinary course of
business, and know of no material claims.
Experts
The audited financial statement included in this Prospectus and Registration
Statement are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. These statements were audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent
auditors for the period ended December 31, 1997, and by Deloitte & Touche LLP
for the periods ended December 31, 1996, 1995, 1994 and 1993. We rely on their
respective authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
Brian L. Hirst has approved the hypothetical illustration included in this
Prospectus and Registration Statement. We have included them relying on his
opinion that they are reasonable.
Distribution of this Offering
American Skandia Marketing, Incorporated ("ASM, Inc."), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of American Skandia Investment Holding Corporation, acts as the
principal underwriter of the Policies. ASM, Inc.'s principal business address is
One Corporate Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484. ASM, Inc. is a broker-dealer
registered with the SEC under the 1934 Act and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
ASM, Inc. will enter into distribution agreements with certain broker-dealers
registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or with entities which
may otherwise offer the Policies that are exempt from such registration. In
addition, ASM, Inc. may offer Policies directly to potential purchasers. The
maximum initial concession to be paid on premiums received is 8.5% and a portion
of compensation may be paid from time to time based on all or a portion of
either the Account Value or the Cash Value. We reserve the right to base
concessions from time-to-time on the investment options chosen by Owners,
including investment options that may be deemed our "affiliates" or "affiliates"
of ASM, Inc. under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
As of the date of this Prospectus, we expect to pay an on-going service fee in
relation to providing certain statistical information upon request by Owners
about the investment options and the Portfolios. We may make the fee payable to
the service providers based on either the Account Value or Cash Value of
Policies. Under most circumstances, we will engage the broker-dealer of record
for your Policy, or the entity of record if such entity could offer Policies
without registration as a broker-dealer (i.e. certain banks), to be your
resource for the statistical information, and to be available upon your request
to both provide and explain such information to you. The broker-dealer of record
or the entity of record is the firm which sold you the Policy, unless later
changed. Some portion of the fee we pay for this service may be payable to your
representative. We may structure this program such that no fee is payable based
on the value in Fixed Allocations. If that were to occur, it is possible that
your representative may receive on-going service fee compensation, but only in
relation to value maintained in variable investment options.
From time to time we may promote the sale of our products such as the Policies
offered pursuant to this Prospectus through programs of non-cash rewards to
registered representatives of participating broker-dealers. We may withdraw or
alter such promotions at any time.
To the extent permitted, we may advertise certain information regarding the
performance of the investment options that does not take into consideration the
effect of either the cost of insurance charges, the contingent deferred sales
charge, the contingent tax charge or the maintenance fee. This performance
information may help you review the performance of the investment options and
provide a basis for comparison between the Policy's investment options. This
information may be less useful when comparing the performance of the investment
options with the performance of investment options provided in other variable
life policies because each plan of life insurance will have its own applicable
charges. This information is even less useful in comparing performance to that
of any savings or investment vehicle, rather than variable life insurance.
Performance information on the Sub-accounts is based on past performance only
and is no indication of future performance. Actual performance will depend on
the type, quality and, for some of the Sub-accounts, the maturities of the
investments held by the Portfolios and upon prevailing market conditions and the
response of the Portfolios to such conditions. Actual performance will also
depend on changes in the expenses of the Portfolios. Such changes are reflected,
in turn, in the Sub-accounts which invest in such Portfolios. In addition, the
charges deducted from your Account Value and those assessed against each
Sub-account will affect performance.
As of the date of this Prospectus, all the Portfolios existed prior to the
inception of these Sub-accounts. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
performance quoted in advertising regarding such Sub-accounts may indicate
periods during which the Portfolios have been in existence but prior to the
inception of the Sub-account(s) or the initial offering of the Policies. Such
performance is considered hypothetical historical performance because the
Sub-accounts did not exist during the period the performance was achieved. Such
hypothetical historical performance is calculated using the same assumptions
employed in calculating actual historical performance since inception of the
Sub-accounts. Any such historical performance will be based on assumptions.
These include assumptions regarding: (a) the Age, risk class and gender, where
applicable, of an Insured or Insureds; (b) the Premium and Policy Date; and (c)
assumptions about a lack of transfers, loans, loan repayments and withdrawals
during the period for which performance is quoted.
American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation may advertise its rankings and/or
ratings by independent financial ratings services. Such rankings may help you in
evaluating our ability to meet our obligations in relation to Fixed Allocations,
pay Death Proceeds, make payments under any settlement options or administer
Policies. Such rankings and ratings do not reflect or relate to the performance
of Separate Account F or the underlying Portfolios.
Illustrations

available to help you better understand how a Policy works. In that Appendix, we
also provide information on how you may obtain additional hypothetical
illustrations. In Appendix B, we provide hypothetical illustrations of how
exercise of the accelerated death benefit provision affects the values of a
Policy.
Executive Officers and Directors
Our executive officers and directors are listed in Appendix E.
Financial Statements
Financial statements for American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation and
American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation Separate Account F are found in
Appendix F.

APPENDIX A
Illustrations
It is impossible to illustrate exactly how a Policy will perform in the future.
However, you may better understand how a Policy works, and may be able to better
compare a Policy with other life insurance plans, using hypothetical
illustrations based on your personal characteristics as well as certain
assumptions about the future. You can do this using the hypothetical
illustrations provided in this Appendix A. You can also do this by requesting
from us personalized hypothetical illustrations based on: (a) the Age(s) of the
Insured(s); (b) the expected risk class(es) of the Insured(s); (c) the gender of
the Insured(s), where permitted; (d) the Face Amount you seek or the amount of
Premium you intend to pay; and (e) applicable cost of insurance charges. Please
forward any such request to us at our address as shown on the first page of this
Prospectus.
As of the date of this Prospectus, we only provide such hypothetical
illustrations on paper. We reserve the right to make such illustrations
available in the future via electronic transmission or as part of a multi-media
presentation.
As of the date of this Prospectus, we do not provide hypothetical illustrations
that assume future loans, withdrawals, loan repayments or varying assumed rates
of return. However, we reserve the right to make such illustrations available in
the future.
The hypothetical illustrations that follow show the changes in the Death
Benefit, Account Value and Cash Value over time based on certain assumptions.
All values are provided as of the end of each Policy Year shown. The assumptions
used are as follows:
1. Hypothetical average annual gross rates of return in the Portfolios
of 0%, 6% and 12%. Of course, actual investment performance is not a
constant rate. If the hypothetical gross rate of return were to
fluctuate above or below the 0%, 6% or 12% average over a period of
years, the Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Value may be
different. For hypothetical rates of return of 0% and 6%, the
illustrations will indicate if a Policy would lapse. HYPOTHETICAL
RATES OF RETURN ARE FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT A
REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
2. Hypothetical constant expense ratios of 1.10% for the Portfolios.
The total annual expenses for the underlying mutual funds are shown
in the section entitled "Variable Investment Options." The 1.10%
hypothetical expense ratio is the average of the actual total annual
expenses for all available Portfolios as of December 31, 1997.
Certain of the Portfolios have not been in existence for a full year
and, therefore, the total annual expenses for those Portfolios are
estimated and annualized. The 1.10% hypothetical expense ratio, when
deducted from the hypothetical average annual gross rates of return
equals a hypothetical average annual net rate of return of -1.10%,
4.90% and 10.90%, respectively
3. The mortality and expense risk charge assessed against the assets in
the Separate Account at an annualized rate of 0.90%. The charge for
administrative expenses connected with operating the Separate
Account is 0.25% per year. It is also assumed that there is no tax
charge assessed against the Separate Account.
4. The charges under the Policy, including the cost of insurance
charges that differ by gender. It is assumed that there are no
transfer fees applicable. The hypothetical illustrations will be
presented based on both the current and guaranteed cost of insurance
charges.
5. There are no loans, loan repayments, withdrawals, accelerated death
benefit payments or amounts paid to maintain the Policy in effect
during a grace period. The hypothetical values will include Cash
Value Credits, if applicable.
6. The Age(s) and gender of the Insured(s) shown in each illustration.
The cost of insurance charges differ based on the age(s) of the
Insured(s) on the Policy Date and, where permitted by law, the
gender of the Insured(s).
7. The Insured(s) is/are eligible for the no tobacco use risk class.
For each gender and age classification, the cost of insurance rate
for the "No Tobacco Use" classification is .35% lower than the rate
for the "Tobacco User" classification.
8. The Premium and Face Amount are as shown in each illustration.

Illustration Of Accelerated Death Benefit
The following are hypothetical illustrations of the impact of payments made to
the Insured under the accelerated death benefit provision of the Policy. The
first hypothetical illustration assumes the Insured is a female, age 45 as of
the Policy Date. The second hypothetical illustration assumes the Insured is a
male, age 65 as of the Policy Date. The following other assumptions apply to
both hypothetical illustrations:
1. The Premium paid was $20,000.
2. The Accelerated Death Benefit provision is exercised as of the 10th
Policy Anniversary.
3. The investment options in which Account Value was allocated have
grown at a hypothetical average annual net rate of return of 8%
since the Issue Date.
4. There have been no loans or loan repayments.
5. No amounts have been withdrawn.
6. 50% of the maximum
available amount is taken pursuant to the accelerated death benefit
provision.
7. The 12 month interest rate discount used in the calculation of the
benefit assumes interest at 6% per year, compounded yearly.
The following are various policy values immediate before and after the
accelerated death benefit is paid:

The Required Death Benefit is determined by treating the Account Value as if it
were a net single premium. We determine the Required Death Benefit by dividing
the Account Value by factors that are determined as of the Policy Date. These
factors vary by the attained Age, gender (where permitted) and risk class of the
Insured. Factors for joint life cases depend upon an actuarial derivation of the
applicable rate for both Insureds.

UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.
RULE 484 UNDERTAKING ON INDEMNIFICATION
Article XIII of the By-laws of American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation, a
Connecticut corporation, (the "Corporation") provides for indemnification of its
officers, directors, and employees as follows:
SECTION 1. Proceedings Other Than by or in the Right of the Corporation.
The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigate
(other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the
fact that he, or the person whose representative he is, is or was a shareholder,
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving
solely at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines,
penalties, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person is
successful on the merits in the defense of the proceeding or as provided in
Section 3 hereof, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful or if upon application to the court as
provided in Section 5 hereof, the court shall have determined that in view of
all the circumstances such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be
indemnified, and then for such amount as the court shall determine; except that,
in connection with an alleged claim based upon his purchase or sale of
securities of the Corporation or of another enterprise, which he serves or
served at the request of the Corporation, the Corporation shall only indemnify
such person after the court shall have determined, on application as provided in
Section 5 hereof, that in view of all the circumstances such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to be indemnified, and then for such amount as the court
shall determine. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or of the participants and
beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan or trust and consistent with the
provisions of such employee benefit plan or trust, or, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
SECTION 2. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation.
The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, by or in the right of the Corporation, to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that he, or the person whose legal representative he
is, is or was a shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving solely at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or enterprise, against expenses (including attorney fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such proceeding in
relation to matters as to which such person, or the person whose legal
representative his is, is finally adjudged not to have breached his duty to the
Corporation, or where the court, on application as provided in Section 6 hereof,
shall have determined that in view or all the circumstances such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified, and then for such amount as
the court shall determine. The Corporation shall not so indemnify any such
person for amounts paid to the Corporation, to a plaintiff or to counsel for a
plaintiff in settling or otherwise disposing of a proceeding, with or without
court approval; or for expenses incurred in defending a proceeding which is
settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.
<PAGE>
SECTION 3. Determination of Right of Indemnification.
The conclusion provided for in Section 1 hereof may be reached by any of the
following: (1) The Board of Directors of the Corporation by a consent in writing
signed by a majority of those directors who were not parties to such proceeding;
(2) independent legal counsel selected by a consent in writing signed by a
majority of those directors who were not parties to such proceeding; (3) in the
case of any employee or agent who is not an officer or director of the
Corporation, the Corporation's general counsel; or (4) the shareholders of the
Corporation by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power
of shares not owned by parties to such proceeding, represented at an annual or
special meeting of shareholders, duly called with notice of such purpose stated.
Such person shall also be entitled to apply to a court for such conclusion, upon
application as provided in Section 5 hereof, even though the conclusion reached
by any of the foregoing shall have been adverse to him or to the person whose
legal representative he is.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
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
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 registrant 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.
REPRESENTATION AND UNDERTAKING
The Registrant and the Company hereby make the following representations and
undertakings:
(a) This filing is made pursuant to Rules 6c-3 and 6e-3(T) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"). The Registrant and the Company elect to be
governed by Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(i)(A) under the Act with respect to the Policies
described in the prospectus. The Policies are designed in such a way as to
qualify for the exemptive relief from various provisions of the Act afforded by
Rule 6e-3(T).
(b) The Company is relying on Paragraph (b)(13)(iii)(F) of Rule 6e-3(T) for the
deduction of the mortality and expense risk charges ("risk charges")assumed by
the Company under the Policies. The Company represents that the risk charges are
reasonable in relation to all of the risks assumed by the issuer under the
Policies. (Paragraph (b)(13)(iii)(F)(2)(ii)). Actuarial memoranda demonstrating
the reasonableness of these charges are maintained by the Company, and will be
made available to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on
request.
(Paragraph (b)(13)(iii)(F)(3).
(c) The Company has concluded that there is a reasonable likelihood that the
distribution financing arrangement of the separate account will benefit the
separate account and the contractholders and will keep and make available to the
Commission on request a memorandum setting forth the basis for this
representation.
(Paragraph (b)(13)(iii)(F)(4)(ii)(A).
(d) The Company represents that the separate account will invest only in
management investment companies which have undertaken to have a board of
directors, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the company,
formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
expenses. (Paragraph (b)(13)(iii)(F)(4)(ii)(B)(2).
(e) Pursuant to Rule 26(e) under the Act, the Company hereby represents that the
fees and charges deducted under the Policy described in the Prospectus, in the
aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses
expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the Company.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, and its seal to be

DEATH BENEFIT
Death Benefit: The amount of Death Benefit under this Policy is equal to the
greater of the Required Death Benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit.
Required Death Benefit: The Required Death Benefit is determined by dividing the
Account Value as of the date the Death Proceeds become payable by the applicable
Insurance Factor shown in the Schedule.
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit: The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is
determined as follows:
a) On the Policy Date: The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit equals the
Premium.
b) After the Policy Date and before the first Policy Anniversary: The
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit equals the Premium less every
Reduction Due to a Withdrawal.
c) After the first Policy Anniversary but before the Target Date shown in
the Schedule: The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is the greater of
(1) and (2), where:
(1) is the Premium less every Reduction Due to a Withdrawal; and
(2) is the highest Anniversary Value.
d) On or after the Target Date shown in the Schedule: The Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit is the greater of (1) and (2), where:
(1) is the Premium less every Reduction Due to a Withdrawal; and
(2) is the highest Anniversary Value as of the Target Date, less
every Reduction Due to a Withdrawal, since the Target Date.
Death Proceeds. The Death Proceeds become payable to the Beneficiary upon our
receipt, at our Office, of: (1) due proof satisfactory to us that the Insured
died while this Policy was in force; (2) all representations we require or which
are mandated by applicable law or regulation in relation to the death claim and
the payment of Death Proceeds; and (3) any applicable election of the mode of
payment, if not previously elected by you. The Death Proceeds payable, are equal
to:
(a) the Death Benefit; plus
(b) any insurance on the Insured's life provided by any additional
benefit riders under this Policy; minus (c) any Debt; minus (d) any due
and unpaid monthly deductions, including those charges that would be
required to keep this
Policy from lapsing if the Insured dies during any grace period;
plus (e) any interest required by law.
The Death Proceeds may be paid in a lump sum or may be applied under one of the
payment options described in this Policy. It also may be applied under any other
payment option selected by the Beneficiary and agreed upon by us, if not elected
by you before we receive due proof of the Insured's death.
Due Proof of Death: Due proof of death consists of one of the following: (1) a
certified copy of a death certificate; (2) a certified copy of a decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; and; (3) any other
proof satisfactory to us.

VLI-IND (11/97)-11
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT
General: The accelerated Death Benefit is pre-payment to the Insured, not to you
or the Beneficiary, of a portion of the Death Proceeds. Only one such payment is
permitted.
Amount of the Accelerated Death Benefit: The amount of the accelerated Death
Benefit payment is subject to a maximum, but you may request that less than the
maximum be paid. The amount will be paid in a lump sum. The maximum amount
payable before any reductions is the lesser of $250,000 and 50% of the Required
Death Benefit as of the Valuation Period we approve such payment. The actual
amount payable will be reduced by the following:
(1) 12 months of interest on that amount. The applicable interest rate
equals the loan interest rate shown in the Schedule.
(2) A pro-rata portion of any outstanding Debt, based on the ratio by
which the Required Death Benefit is being reduced as a result of
the accelerated Death Benefit payment.
Requirements for Payment of the Accelerated Death Benefit: The accelerated Death
Benefit is payable only when all our requirements are met. The requirements are:
(a) You and any person or entity with a vested interest in this
Policy, including, but not limited to, an irrevocable Beneficiary
or an assignee, must make the request that we make such a payment.
We will not agree to such a payment based on a request from the
Insured unless you are the Insured.
(b) Such a request must be In Writing.
(c) We receive In Writing proof satisfactory to us that the Insured
became terminally ill, as defined below, at least 30 days after
the Issue Date or as a result of an accident that occurred after
the Issue Date.
(d) We must receive all required information in order to meet our
obligations for tax or other regulatory reporting before we make
such a payment.
(e) We must receive all information needed to enable us to make the
payment directly to an account for the benefit of the Insured.
Terminally ill, for purposes of this provision, means a condition diagnosed by a
physician, as defined below, which is expected to result in death within 12
months for 80% of the diagnosed cases. Physician, for purposes of this
provision, is a person other than you, the Insured, or a member of either your
or the Insured's family who meets the definition of physician as defined in the
Code as amended from time to time. We may change the definition of terminally
ill or physician to the extent needed to make any payment pursuant to this
provision exempt from federal or state income taxation.
Consequences to the Policy of an Accelerated Death Benefit Payment: An
accelerated Death Benefit payment reduces the Account Value, the Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit and any Debt in the same ratio as the Required Death
Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Period such a payment is made.
INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT VALUE
General: We offer a range of variable investment options and a Fixed Allocation
as ways to invest your Account Value. You may maintain Account Value in multiple
investment options, subject to the limits set out in the Allocation Rules
section of this Policy. You may transfer Account Value between investment
options, subject to the requirements set out in the Transfers section of this
Policy. Transfers may be subject to a fee, as shown in the Schedule.
Variable Investment Options: We offer a number of Sub-accounts as variable
investment options. These are all Sub-accounts of the Separate Account shown in
the Schedule.
The investment policy of the Separate Account will not be changed without the
approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Connecticut. Any such
approval will be on file with the Commissioner.
<PAGE>

VLI-IND (11/97)-12
Fixed Allocation: We credit interest to Fixed Allocations. From time to time we
declare interest rates applicable to new Fixed Allocations. If you make a Fixed
Allocation, we credit the rate then in effect to that Fixed Allocation until the
next Policy Anniversary. Once that Policy Anniversary is reached, we credit, for
the next Policy Year, the then current rate applicable to new Fixed Allocations.
This applies to all your Fixed Allocations then in effect. During each
subsequent Policy Year, the rate we credit for each Policy Year is the one in
effect for new Fixed Allocations at the beginning of the Policy Year. The
interest rates we credit are determined by us and are subject to a minimum. The
minimum is shown in the Schedule.
You may allocate part or all of the Premium to the Fixed Allocation. You may
transfer all or part of the Account Value attributable to the variable
investment options into the Fixed Allocation. Transfers from the Fixed
Allocations are subject to the limitations discussed in the Transfers section of
this policy.
OPERATIONS OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
General: The assets supporting our obligations under this Policy may be held in
various accounts, depending on the obligation being supported. Assets supporting
obligations based on the Account Value allocated to the variable investment
options are maintained in the Separate Account shown in the Schedule. This
Separate Account consists of multiple Sub-accounts. This Separate Account was
established by us pursuant to Connecticut law. This Separate Account also holds
assets of other policies issued by us with values and benefits that vary
according to the investment performance of this Separate Account. The assets of
the Separate Account will be valued at least monthly.
We are the legal owner of assets in the Separate Account. Income, gains and
losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account,
are credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account in accordance with the
terms of the policies supported by such assets without regard to our other
income, gains or losses or to the income, gains or losses in any other of our
separate accounts. We will maintain assets in the Separate Account with a total
market value at least equal to the reserve and other liabilities we must
maintain in relation to the policy obligations supported by such assets. These
assets may only be charged with liabilities which arise from such policies.
Values and benefits based on allocations to the Sub-accounts will vary with the
investment performance of the Portfolios, as applicable. We reserve the right to
transfer assets of the Separate Account, which we determine to be associated
with the class of policies to which this Policy belongs, to another Separate
Account. If this type of transfer is made, the term "Separate Account" as used
in this Policy shall mean the Separate Account to which the assets were
transferred.
The assets of the Separate Account will be available to cover the liabilities of
our general account only to the extent that the assets of the Separate Account
exceed the liabilities of the Separate Account arising under the policies
supported by the Separate Account.
The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust
which is a type of investment company. This does not involve any supervision by
the SEC of the investment policies, management or practices of the Separate
Account or of us.
GENERAL ACCOUNT
We maintain assets in our general account to support our obligations: (1) for
that portion of the Account Value allocated to any Fixed Allocation; (2) equal
to the Account Value in the Loan Account; (3) for that portion of the Death
Proceeds greater than the Account Value; (4) for any settlement option; and (5)
for any other obligation we may have in relation to a Policy for which assets
are not maintained in the Separate Account.

VLI-IND (11/97)-13
CHARGES
General: There are certain charges assessable against your Policy. There are
also certain charges that are assessed against the Sub-accounts of the Separate
Account, as noted below.
The charges which are or may be assessed against your Policy are: (1) the cost
of insurance charge; (2) the sales charge; (3) the tax charge, (4) the
maintenance fee, if applicable; (5) the contingent deferred sales charge; (6)
the contingent deferred tax charge; and (7) any transfer fee.
The charges assessed against the Sub-accounts of the Separate Account are: (1)
the administration charge; and (2) the mortality and expense risk charge. A
charge for taxes also may be assessed against the Sub-accounts.
Cost of Insurance Charge: The cost of insurance charge is deducted on each
Monthly Processing Date. It is deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable
investment options and any Fixed Allocations. It is a percentage of your Account
Value on the Monthly Processing Date. The percentage depends on the age and
gender of the Insured on the Policy Date and the Insured's risk class. Subject
to any requirement for prior approval of the applicable jurisdiction, we have
the right to change the current cost of insurance from time to time. However,
the amount deducted will never exceed the amount that would be deducted if we
calculated the charge as (a) multiplied by the result of (b) divided by (c)
where:
(a) is the applicable guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate per
$1,000 in effect on that Monthly Processing Date;
(b) is the Net Amount at Risk on that Monthly Processing Date; and (c)
is $1,000.
Any change in the cost of insurance rates will be based on changes in our future
expectations of mortality, expenses, persistency, investment earnings and any
taxes. Changes in cost of insurance rates will not be made because of a
deterioration in the Insured's health, nor will they be made to recoup any prior
losses. The changes will be determined only prospectively and will comply with
the procedures and standards on file with the insurance department for the
jurisdiction where this policy is delivered.
Sales Charge: The sales charge is deducted on Monthly Processing Dates. It is
deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable investment options and any Fixed
Allocations. It is a percentage of your Account Value on the Monthly Processing
Date. The percentage and the period during which the sales charge applies are
shown in the Schedule.
Tax Charge: The tax charge is deducted on Monthly Processing Dates. It is
deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable investment options and any Fixed
Allocations. It is a percentage of your Account Value on the Monthly Processing
Date. The percentage and the period during which the tax charge applies are
shown in the Schedule.
Maintenance Fee: The maintenance fee may be deducted on Monthly Processing
Dates. When applicable, it is deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable
investment options and any Fixed Allocations. The amount of the fee and any
conditions such that the fee does not apply are shown in the Schedule.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge: The contingent deferred sales charge may be
deducted from amounts receivable upon surrender or a partial withdrawal. It is a
percentage of the Premium being distributed. The percentage and period to which
it applies are shown in the Schedule. It only applies to that portion of a
partial withdrawal or surrender we deem a distribution of Premium. The Surrender
and Partial Withdrawal section of this Policy describes the sources for
distribution upon a partial withdrawal or surrender, and the order in which
amounts are deemed to be withdrawn.
Contingent Deferred Tax Charge: The contingent deferred tax charge may be
deducted from amounts receivable upon surrender or a partial withdrawal. It is a
percentage of the Premium being distributed. The percentage and period to which
it applies are shown in the Schedule. It only applies to that portion of a
partial withdrawal or surrender we deem a distribution of the Premium. The
Surrender and Partial Withdrawal section of this Policy describes the sources
for distribution upon a partial withdrawal or surrender, and the order in which
amounts are deemed to be withdrawn.
<PAGE>

VLI-IND (11/97)-14
Transfer Fee: The transfer fee may be deducted at the time of transfer. This
includes transfers into the Fixed Allocation and any transfers from a Fixed
Allocation. For this purpose, all transfers occurring during the same Valuation
Period are considered one transfer. We deduct the charge from the amounts
transferred pro-rata in the same ratio as Account Value is being transferred.
The amount of this charge and the circumstances when it applies are shown in the
Schedule. The following transfers are not taken into consideration in
determining whether any transfer fee applies: (a) a transfer from a Fixed
Allocation on a Policy Anniversary; (b) transfers to or from the Loan Account in
relation to loans and loan repayments.
Administration Charge: We charge for administering each Sub-account. We assess
this charge each day at the daily equivalent of the annual rate shown in the
Schedule against the assets in each Sub-account. We deduct the charge each
Valuation Period.
Mortality and Expense Risk Charges: We charge for bearing certain mortality and
expense risks related to the investment performance of the Sub-accounts. We
assess this charge each day at the daily equivalent of the annual rate shown in
the Schedule against the assets in each Sub-account. We deduct the charge each
Valuation Period.
PREMIUM PAYMENT
Premium: Issuance of this Policy represents our acceptance of both the Premium
and any Application. The amount of Premium is shown in the Schedule. Allocation
of Premium is subject to our allocation rules (see "Allocation Rules").
Additional Premiums: We will not accept any additional Premium payments under
this Policy unless we are informed on or before the date we approve the
Application for this Policy of the approximate amount of such additional
Premiums, and such additional Premiums are received not later than 6 months
after the Issue Date.
ALLOCATION RULES
You may allocate your Account Value among the investment options we make
available. We may limit the number of investment options to which Account Value
may be allocated at one time. This limit will not be less than 10 investment
options.
Until the Reallocation Date shown in the Schedule, that portion of your Premium
you designated to be allocated to variable investment options will be allocated
to the Automatic Sub-account. As of the Reallocation Date, the Account Value of
the Automatic Sub-account will be allocated per your most recent instruction to
us. If the Reallocation Date is not a Valuation Day, the Premiums will be
transferred on the Valuation Day immediately following. Any portion of the
Premium you designated to be allocated to the Fixed Allocation will be allocated
directly to the Fixed Allocation and will not be allocated to the Automatic
Sub-account.
Withdrawals of any type are taken pro-rata from the investment options based on
the then current Account Values in such investment options unless we receive
other instructions from you prior to such withdrawal. If there are multiple
Fixed Allocations as of the date of such partial withdrawal, amounts are taken
from the Fixed Allocations on a last in, first out basis.
Deductions for charges and fees are as noted above in the section entitled
"Charges," except that if there are multiple Fixed Allocations as of the
applicable Monthly Processing Date, amounts are deducted from the Fixed
Allocations on a last in, first out basis.
Should you request a transaction that would leave less than any minimum amount
we then require in an investment option, we reserve the right, to the extent
permitted by law, to add the balance of your Account Value in the applicable
Sub-account or Fixed Allocation to the transaction and close out your balance in
that investment option.
<PAGE>

VLI-IND (11/97)-15
ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE
General: Your Policy has an Account Value and a Cash Value. Your Account Value
is the sum of values in: (1) any Sub-account; (2) each Fixed Allocation, if any;
and (3) the Loan Account, if any. The Cash Value is the Account Value less any
Debt and less any applicable: (1) contingent deferred sales charge; and (2)
contingent deferred tax charge.
Account Value in the Sub-accounts: We determine your Account Value separately
for each Sub-account. To determine the Account Value in each Sub-account we
multiply the Unit Price as of the Valuation Period for which the calculation is
being made times the number of Units attributable to your Account Value in that
Sub-account as of that Valuation Period.
Units: The number of Units attributable to this Policy in a Sub-account is the
number of Units purchased for you as a result of an allocation to that
Sub-account less the number of Units transferred or withdrawn. We determine the
number of Units involved in any transaction specified in dollars by dividing the
dollar value of the transaction by the Unit Price of the affected Sub-account as
of the Valuation Period applicable to such transaction.
Unit Price: For each Sub-account the initial Unit Price was $10.00. The Unit
Price for each subsequent period is the net investment factor for that period,
multiplied by the Unit Price for the immediately preceding Valuation Period. The
Unit Price for a Valuation Period applies to each day in the period.
Net Investment Factor: Each Sub-account has a net investment factor. The net
investment factor is an index that measures the investment performance of and
charges assessed against a Sub-account from one Valuation Period to the next.
The net investment factor for a Valuation Period is (a) divided by (b), less
(c); where:
(a) is the net result of :
(1) the net asset value per share of the Portfolio shares
held in the Sub-account at the end of the current
Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any
dividend or capital gain distribution declared and
unpaid by the underlying mutual fund during that
Valuation Period; plus or minus
(2) any per share charge or credit during the Valuation
Period as a provision for taxes attributable to the
operation or maintenance of the Sub-account.
(b) is the net result of :
(1) the net asset value plus any declared and unpaid
dividends per share of the Portfolio shares held in
the Sub-account at the end of the preceding Valuation
Period; plus or minus
(2) any per share charge or credit during the preceding
Valuation Period as a provision for taxes
attributable to the operation or maintenance of the
Sub-account;
(c) is the mortality and expense risk charge and the administration
charge.
We value the assets in the Sub-accounts at their fair market value in accordance
with accepted accounting practices and applicable laws and regulations. The net
investment factor may be greater than, equal to, or less than one.

VLI-IND (11/97)-16
Account Value For Fixed Allocations: We determine the Account Value separately
for each Fixed Allocation, other than a Fixed Allocation made on a Policy
Anniversary, from the date of such Fixed Allocation to the subsequent Policy
Anniversary. All amounts to be allocated to the fixed investment option as of
the same day are treated as one Fixed Allocation, irrespective of the source of
the Account Value being allocated to the fixed option. As of each Policy
Anniversary, all prior Fixed Allocations are combined and treated as an
allocation to a new Fixed Allocation.
The Account Value in each Fixed Allocation equals:
(a) The Account Value initially allocated to a Fixed Allocation; less (b)
Charges and fees deducted from that Fixed Allocation; less (c) Transfers
from that Fixed Allocation; less (d) Distributions from that Fixed
Allocation, for any reason; plus (e) Interest credited to that Fixed
Allocation.
Interest is credited daily on each Fixed Allocation. On any day, interest is
credited to the Account Value in a Fixed Allocation after any deductions made as
of that day and after any transfers or distributions from that Fixed Allocation
as of that day.
Account Value in the Loan Account: The Account Value in the Loan Account equals:
(a) The amounts transferred to the Loan Account; less (b) Reductions from
the Loan Account as a result of loan repayments; plus (c) Interest credited
to the Loan Account.
Interest is credited daily to the Loan Account. On any day, interest is credited
to the Account Value in the Loan Account after any deductions made as of that
day and after any transfers from that Fixed Allocation as of that day.
When you take a policy loan, we transfer Account Value equal to the amount of
the policy loan from the investment options to the Loan Account. Unless you give
us prior instructions before the transfer, we transfer Account Value from the
investment options pro-rata based on the Account Value in the investment options
as of the Valuation Day of such transfer.
A preferred loan is any loan for which the transferred Account Value is deemed
to be drawn from Growth. A standard loan is any loan for which the transferred
Account Value is deemed to be drawn from Premium. Account Value moved to the
Loan Account is deemed to come first from Growth.
Account Value maintained in the Loan Account remains in the Loan Account until
the loan is repaid. Amounts in the Loan Account earn interest from the Valuation
Day of the transfer at an annual interest rate shown in the Schedule.
Monthly Deduction: Account Value is reduced by monthly deductions. On each
Monthly Processing Date, we will take the monthly deduction. The monthly
deduction consists of the then applicable amounts for the following charges and
fees:
(a) the cost of insurance charge;
(b) the sales charge;
(c) the tax charge;
(d) the maintenance fee;
(e) the charge for any benefits provided by rider.
<PAGE>

VLI-IND (11/97)-17
CASH VALUE CREDIT
We add a Cash Value Credit to your Account Value on each Policy Anniversary that
the Cash Value of your Policy equals or exceeds the Cash Value trigger. The Cash
Value trigger is shown in the Schedule. Eligibility for the Cash Value Credit at
one Policy Anniversary does not mean you are eligible on any other Policy
Anniversary.
The Cash Value Credit is equal to (a) multiplied by (b); where
(a) is the Cash Value on the applicable Policy Anniversary; and (b) is the
Cash Value Credit percentage shown in the Schedule.
The Cash Value Credit, if any, due on the applicable Policy Anniversary is
applied pro-rata based on the Account Value in the investment options.
TRANSFERS
General: You may transfer Account Value between investment options, subject to
the allocation rules herein and any applicable transfer fee. The amount of such
fee and when it applies is shown in the Schedule. Your transfer request must be
In Writing unless we receive a prior written authorization from you permitting
transfers based on instructions we receive over the phone or through electronic
means. The minimum amount required to be in any investment option after a
transfer is as shown in the Schedule.
Where permitted by law, we may accept your authorization of a third party to
transfer Account Values on your behalf. We may suspend or cancel such acceptance
at any time. We give you prior notification of any such suspension or
cancellation. We may restrict the investment options that will be available to
you for transfers during any period in which you authorize such third party to
act on your behalf. We give the third party you authorize prior notification of
any such restrictions. However, we will not enforce such a restriction if we are
provided evidence satisfactory to us that: (a) such third party has been
appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to act on your behalf; or (b)
such third party has been appointed by you to act on your behalf for all your
financial affairs.
We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers in any Policy Year for all
existing or new Owners. We also reserve the right to limit the number of
transfers in any Policy Year or to refuse any transfer request for an Owner or
certain Owners if we believe that: (a) excessive trading by such Owner or Owners
or a specific transfer request or group of transfer requests may have a
detrimental effect on Unit Values or the share prices of the Portfolios; or (b)
we are informed by one or more of the Portfolios that the purchase or redemption
of shares is to be restricted because of excessive trading or a specific
transfer or group of transfers is deemed to have a detrimental effect on share
prices of affected Portfolios, or (c) we believe there may be adverse
consequences to other Owners as a result of excess transfers.
Unless we limit the number of transfers in any Policy Year, there is no limit on
the number of transfers that only involve variable investment options, or the
number of transfers from variable investment options to make Fixed Allocations.
However, we limit each transfer from Fixed Allocations that are to be effective
on any day other than a Policy Anniversary to the greater of 25% of the Account
Value in your Fixed Allocations or $1,000. If you make such a transfer from your
Fixed Allocations, you cannot make another such transfer until either 90 days
have passed or the next Policy Anniversary, if earlier.

SURRENDER AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL
Surrender: You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Value at any time. You
must send your Policy and surrender request In Writing to our Office.
Partial Withdrawals: You may withdraw part of your Account Value. The minimum
partial withdrawal amount is as shown in the Schedule. The Cash Value that must
remain in the Policy as of the Valuation Day of a partial withdrawal is as shown
in the Schedule. If the amount of the partial withdrawal request exceeds the
maximum amount available, we reserve the right to treat your request as one for
a full surrender.
The contingent deferred sales charge and/or the contingent deferred tax charge
may apply to all or a portion of a partial withdrawal. The period during which
such charges may apply and the applicable charges are shown in the Schedule.
These charges only apply to the portion of any partial withdrawal deemed to be a
withdrawal of Premium. For these purposes, partial withdrawal amounts are deemed
to be withdrawn from your Policy first from the amount available as a free
withdrawal, as described below.
Free Withdrawals: During the period any contingent deferred sales charge or any
contingent deferred tax charge may apply, you may withdraw a limited amount of
Account Value without application of any applicable contingent deferred sales
charges or contingent deferred tax charge. The minimum withdrawal amount is as
shown in the Schedule. The maximum amount available as a free withdrawal in a
Policy Year is the greater of this Policy's Growth or 10% of the Premium.
Effect of a Partial Withdrawal: Each partial withdrawal reduces the Account
Value and, as a result, the Cash Value and the Required Death Benefit as of the
Valuation Day of the partial withdrawal. As of that Valuation Day it also
reduces the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit by the same proportion as the
Account Value is reduced. As a result of the reductions to the Required Death
Benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit as of that
Valuation Day is reduced.
POLICY LOANS
General: You may borrow against your Policy. The Policy is the only collateral
we require for the loan. During the first Policy Year, the only available loan
is an amount equal to the loan in effect on any life insurance policy exchanged
for this Policy. Any such loan takes effect as of the Issue Date or, if later,
the date we apply the surrender proceeds of such exchanged policy as Premium.
After the first Policy Year, a loan may be taken at any time while the Insured
is alive and this Policy is in force. We allow one loan per Policy Year. The
loan may be repaid at any time while the Insured is living. The Debt resulting
from a loan affects the Death Proceeds, Cash Value and Accelerated Death
Benefit.
Loan Value: The loan value is the maximum amount of Account Value you may
borrow. The maximum loan value is the Account Value less the Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge and less the Contingent Deferred Tax Charge multiplied by the
maximum loan value percentage shown in the Schedule. The amount available for a
loan at any time is equal to the then maximum loan value minus any Debt. The
minimum loan amount is shown in the Schedule.
Loan Interest: Loan interest accrues daily at an effective annual interest rate
shown in the Schedule. It is payable on each Policy Anniversary. Interest not
paid when due will be added to the Account Value maintained in the Loan Account
and will be charged interest at the same rate. If you do not pay the interest
when due, we transfer Account Value from the investment options to the Loan
Account. This Account Value is taken pro-rata from the investment options based
on the Account Value in the investment options as of the Valuation Day of the
transfer. If there is inadequate Account Value in the investment options to make
such a transfer, we reserve the right to transfer the deficiency to the Loan
Account as of any subsequent Valuation Date such an amount equal to the
deficiency is available in the investment options.
<PAGE>

VLI-IND (11/97)-19
Loan Repayment: Debt may be repaid in whole or in part at any time while the
Insured is living and this Policy is in force, except when an amount is due to
keep the Policy in force or upon reinstatement. Any standard loan is repaid
before a preferred loan. As of the Valuation Day of the repayment:
(a) we reduce the loan principal and outstanding loan interest
proportionately based on the ratio between loan principal and
loan interest as of that Valuation Day;
(b) we reduce the Account Value in the Loan Account by an amount
equal to the lesser of the amount of the loan repayment and the
total Account Value in the Loan Account as of that Valuation Day;
and
(c) we allocate the repayment to the investment options pro-rata
based on the Account Value in the investment options as of that
Valuation Day. Any amount then allocated to the Fixed Allocation
will be treated as a separate Fixed Allocation.
GRACE PERIOD AND REINSTATEMENT
Grace Period: We keep the Policy in force during a grace period that begins on
the Monthly Processing Date on which it is determined that the Cash Value is
zero or less than zero.
If there is no Debt as of the date the grace period begins, the Policy remains
in force with the Death Benefit equal to the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit as
of the Monthly Processing Date the grace period begins. We will notify you if
this occurs. During such grace period, you may at any time the Insured is alive
send us one payment, although none is required. This payment is equal to three
months' charges, based on: (a) the Net Amount at Risk as of the Monthly
Processing Date the grace period begins; and (b) the guaranteed monthly cost of
insurance rates per thousand as shown in the Schedule for the Insured's then
attained Age. We will inform you of this amount.
If there is any Debt as of the date the grace period begins, we allow a 60-day
grace period. We will send you a notice indicating the minimum payment required
to keep the Policy from lapsing. The amount equals the minimum amount needed for
the Cash Value to exceed the Debt, plus the amount equal to three months'
charges, based on: (a) the Net Amount at Risk as of the Monthly Processing Date
which began the grace period preceding the lapse; and (b) the guaranteed monthly
cost of insurance rate per thousand as shown in the Schedule for the Insured's
then attained Age. The Policy lapses without value if the minimum payment is not
made by the end of the 61st day. This Policy will remain in force during the
grace period.
Reinstatement: If the Policy lapses, we may reinstate the Policy at any time
within a three-year period after the end of the grace period provided we receive
the following:
(a) Written Application to reinstate;
(b) Evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
(c) Payment of an amount equal to the then current Debt plus the amount
equal to three months' charges, based on: (i) the Net Amount at Risk as
of the Monthly Processing Date which began the grace period preceding
the lapse; and (ii) the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate per
thousand as shown in the Schedule for the Insured's attained Age as of
the date of reinstatement.
After any reinstatement, the period during which certain charges apply may be
extended. If the lapse occurred during the period the sales charge and the tax
charge were payable, then the period during which these charges are payable is
extended by the period between the date of the lapse and the date of
reinstatement. If the lapse occurred during the period the contingent deferred
sales charge and the contingent deferred tax charge were payable upon a
withdrawal or a surrender, the Policy Years shown in the Schedule to which such
charges apply are extended by the period between the date of the lapse and the
date of reinstatement.

YOUR RIGHTS, OWNERSHIP, AND DESIGNATIONS
Ownership Rights and Beneficiary Designations: You may exercise the rights,
options and privileges granted in this Policy or permitted by us. Your rights
are subject to the rights of any assignee recorded by us and of any irrevocably
designated Beneficiary.
If more than one Owner is named, the Owners will own this Policy as joint
tenants with rights of survivorship unless otherwise stated. We require the
consent In Writing of all joint Owners for any transaction for which we require
the written consent of an Owner.
You may name a contingent Owner. You must do so In Writing. The contingent Owner
will become the Owner on your death. If there is more than one Owner, the
contingent Owner will become the Owner on the death of the last surviving Owner
unless otherwise stated In Writing. If you do not name a contingent Owner, the
estate of the last surviving Owner will own the Policy upon the last surviving
Owner's death.
Death Proceeds are payable to the Beneficiary. You may designate more than one
primary or contingent Beneficiary. If you make such a designation, the proceeds
are payable in equal shares to the survivors in the appropriate Beneficiary
class, unless you request otherwise In Writing.
If the primary Beneficiary dies before Death Proceeds become payable, the
proceeds will become payable to the contingent Beneficiary. If no Beneficiary is
alive when Death Proceeds become payable or in the absence of any Beneficiary
designation, the proceeds will vest in you or your estate.
Changing Revocable Designations: Unless you indicated that a prior choice was
irrevocable or your Policy has been endorsed to limit certain changes, you may
request to change Owner and Beneficiary designations by sending a request In
Writing.
Common Disaster: If any Beneficiary dies with the Insured in a common disaster,
it must be proved to our satisfaction that the Insured died first. Unless
information provided and satisfactory to us indicates otherwise, the Policy is
treated as though the Beneficiary died first.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Entire Contract: This Policy, any attached riders or endorsements, and the
attached copy of any Application form the entire contract. All statements made
in any Application are deemed to be representations and not warranties.
Only our President, a Vice President or Secretary may change or waive any
provisions of this Policy. Any change or waiver must be In Writing. We are not
bound by any promises or representations made by or to any other person.
Misstatement of Age or Sex: If there has been a misstatement of the age and/or
sex of the Insured, we will make adjustments to conform to the facts. As to
payments under any payment options: (a) any underpayments by us will be remedied
on the next payment following correction; and (b) any overpayments by us will be
charged against future amounts payable by us under this Policy.
Incontestability: This Policy will be incontestable after it has been in force
during the Insured's lifetime for two years from its Issue Date. If the Policy
is reinstated, the Policy will be incontestable after it has been in force for a
period of two years from the date of the reinstatement. The contestable period
for any additional benefit provided by a rider attached to this Policy is stated
in the rider.
Suicide: If the Insured as shown in the Schedule dies by suicide, while sane or
insane, within two years from the Issue Date and while the Policy is in force,
the Policy will terminate. The Death Benefit will be limited to the greater of
(a) and (b) where:
a) is the Premium paid less any outstanding Debt, and any partial withdrawals as
of the date Death Proceeds would otherwise have become payable; and
b) is the Cash Value as of the date Death Proceeds would otherwise become
payable.

VLI-IND (11/97)-21
Transfers, Assignments or Pledges: Generally, your rights in this Policy may be
transferred, assigned or pledged for loans at any time. You may transfer, assign
or pledge your rights to another person at any time, prior to the Insured's
death. You must request a transfer or provide us with a copy of the assignment
In Writing. A transfer or assignment is subject to our acceptance. We will not
be deemed to know of or be obligated under any assignment prior to our receipt
and acceptance thereof. We assume no responsibility for the validity or
sufficiency of any assignment. A transfer, assignment or pledge may have adverse
tax consequences for you.
Nonparticipation: The Policy does not share in our profits or surplus earnings.
Deferral of Transactions: We may defer any payment for a period not to exceed
the lesser of 6 months and the period permitted by law. If we defer a
distribution or transfer from the Fixed Allocation for more than thirty days, we
pay interest of at least 3% per year on the amount deferred. We may defer any
distribution from any Sub-account or any transfer from a Sub-account for a
period not to exceed 7 calendar days from the date the transaction is effected.
Any other deferral period begins on the date such distribution or transfer would
otherwise have been transacted.
All transactions into, out of or based on any Sub-account may be postponed
whenever (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary
holidays or weekends) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
determined by the SEC; (2) the SEC permits postponement and so orders; or (3)
the SEC determines that an emergency exists making valuation or disposal of
securities not reasonably practical.
Elections, Designations, Changes and Requests: All elections, designations,
changes and requests must be In Writing and are effective only after they have
been approved by us, subject to any transactions made by us before receipt of
such notices. We inform you of any changes that materially affect your rights.
We reserve the right to require that this Policy be returned to our Office for
endorsement of any change.
Claims of Creditors: To the extent permitted by law, no payment under this
Policy is subject to the claims of the creditors of any Owner, Insured or
Beneficiary.
Tax Reporting: We intend to make all required regulatory reports regarding
taxable events in relation to this Policy. Such events may include, but are not
limited to: (a) loans; (b) payment of death benefits; (c) surrender of value
from the Policy; and (d) assignments.
Facility of Payment: We reserve the right, in settlement of full liability, to
make payments to a guardian, relative or other person if a payee is legally
incompetent.
Participation and Termination of Certain Programs We May Offer: To elect to
participate or to terminate participation in any program we may offer, we may
require receipt at our Office of a request In Writing on a form satisfactory to
us.
Reports to You: We provide reports to you while this Policy is in force. We
provide you with reports at least once each quarter that you maintain Account
Values in the Sub-accounts. We provide you with reports once a year if you
maintain Account Value only in the Fixed Allocation. You may request additional
reports. We reserve the right to charge up to $50 for each such additional
report.
Reserved Rights: In addition to rights specifically reserved elsewhere in this
Policy, we reserve the right to any or all of the following: (a) combine a
Sub-account with other Sub-accounts; (b) combine the Separate Account shown in
the Schedule with other separate accounts; (c) deregister the Separate Account
shown in the Schedule under the Investment Company Act of 1940; (d) operate the
Separate Account shown in the Schedule as a management investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 or in any other form permitted by law; (e)
make changes required by any change in the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange
Act of 1934 or the Investment Company Act of 1940; (f) make changes that are
necessary to maintain the tax status of your Policy under the Code; and (g) make
changes required by any change in other federal or state laws relating to life
insurance policies.
<PAGE>

VLI-IND (11/97)-22
We may eliminate Sub-accounts, or substitute one or more Portfolios for the one
in which a Sub-account is invested. Substitutions may be necessary if we believe
a Portfolio no longer suits the purpose of the Policy. This may happen due to a
change in laws or regulations, or a change in the investment objectives or
restrictions of a Portfolio, or because the Portfolio is no longer available for
investment, or for some other reason. We would obtain prior approval from the
insurance department of our state of domicile, if so required by law, before
making such a substitution, combination, deletion or addition. We also would
obtain prior approval from the SEC as required by law, and any other required
approvals before making such a substitution, combination, deletion or addition.
Maturity Date: This Policy matures on the Policy Anniversary on or immediately
following the Insured's 95th birthday. This day will be the Maturity Date. At
maturity, coverage under this Policy ends. The Cash Value will be paid to you on
the Maturity Date.
POLICY PAYMENT OPTIONS
Payment Options: Partial withdrawals, surrender amounts and Death Proceeds may
be paid as a lump sum or pursuant to any other payment option we offer. If you
choose any of our payment options, you must request your choice In Writing.
Payment options can be guaranteed for life, for a certain period, for joint
lives or for a certain period and life as described below. We make available
fixed payments. We reserve the right to require that the payments be payable on
the first or the fifteenth day of a calendar month. Except for lump sum
payments, we will only make payments directly to an account with a financial
institution in the United States of America.
In the absence of an election In Writing prior to Death Proceeds becoming due,
the Beneficiary may elect to receive the Death Proceeds under one of the payment
options described below. However, if you made an election, the Beneficiary may
not alter such election.
For purposes of the payment options described below, the term "key life" means
the person or persons upon whose life any payments dependent upon the
continuation of life are based.
(a) Option 1 - Payments for Life: Under this option, income is payable
periodically prior to the death of the key life, terminating with the last
payment due prior to such death.
(b) Option 2 - Payments for Life with 10, 15, or 20 Years Certain:
Under this option, income is payable periodically for 10, 15, or 20 years, as
selected, and thereafter until the death of the key life. Should the death of
the key life occur before the end of the period selected, the remaining payments
are paid to the Beneficiary to the end of such period.
(c) Option 3 - Payments Based on Joint Lives: Under this option, income
is payable periodically during the joint lifetime of two key lives, and
thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the survivor, ceasing with the last
payment prior to the survivor's death.
(d) Option 4 - Payments for a Certain Period: Under this option, income
is payable periodically for a specified number of years. The number of years is
subject to our then current rules. Should the payee die before the end of the
specified number of years, the remaining payments are paid to the Beneficiary to
the end of such period.
The first periodic payment is determined by multiplying the amount applied to
purchase payment options (expressed in thousands of dollars) by the amount of
the first periodic payment per $1,000 obtained from our then current payment
rates for that type of payment option and for the frequency of payment selected.
These rates will not be less than those shown in the Payment Option Tables shown
herein.
We reserve the right to require submission prior to commencement of any payment
option of evidence satisfactory to us of the age of any key life upon whose life
payment amounts are calculated.
Proof of Survival: Any payment is subject to evidence satisfactory to us that
the payee is alive on the date such payment is otherwise due.

VLI-IND (11/97)-23
PAYMENT OPTION TABLES
The attached tables show the minimum dollar amount of each monthly payment for
each $1,000 applied under the options. The amounts payable when payments
commence may be higher, based on our then current assumptions as to interest,
expenses and mortality, but will not be lower.
Under options one and two, the amount of each payment depends on the age and
sex, if applicable, of the payee at the time the first payment is due. Under
option three, the amount of each payment depends on the age and sex, if
applicable, of both payees at the time the first payment is due. No election can
be changed once payments begin.
The tables shown are based on interest at 3% per year compounded annually and
the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table set back one year for males and two
years for females or the appropriate variation of such table with genderless
rates when applicable to the Payment Option in order to meet state or Federal
requirements in relation to the usage of such Payment Option.
The payee's settlement age is the payee's age, on the date of the first payment,
minus the age adjustment. The age adjustments are shown below. They are based on
the date of the first payment. The age adjustment does not exceed the age of the
payee.

every Reduction Due to a Withdrawal, since the Target Date.
Death Proceeds. The Death Proceeds become payable to the Beneficiary upon our
receipt, at our Office, of: (1) due proof satisfactory to us that both Insureds
died while this Policy was in force; (2) all representations we require or which
are mandated by applicable law or regulation in relation to the death claim and
the payment of Death Proceeds; and (3) any applicable election of the mode of
payment, if not previously elected by you. The Death Proceeds payable, are equal

(b) any insurance on the last surviving Insured's life provided by any

VLI-SVIND (11/97)-11
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT
General: The accelerated Death Benefit is pre-payment to the last surviving
Insured, not to you or the Beneficiary, of a portion of the Death Proceeds. Only
one such payment is permitted.
Amount of the Accelerated Death Benefit: The amount of the accelerated Death
Benefit payment is subject to a maximum, but you may request that less than the
maximum be paid. The amount will be paid in a lump sum. The maximum amount
payable before any reductions is the lesser of $250,000 and 50% of the Required
Death Benefit as of the Valuation Period we approve such payment. The actual
amount payable will be reduced by the following:
(1) 12 months of interest on that amount. The applicable interest rate
equals the loan interest rate shown in the Schedule.
(2) A pro-rata portion of any outstanding Debt, based on the ratio by
which the Required Death Benefit is being reduced as a result of
the accelerated Death Benefit payment.
Requirements for Payment of the Accelerated Death Benefit: The accelerated Death
Benefit is payable only when all our requirements are met. The requirements are:
(a) You and any person or entity with a vested interest in this
Policy, including, but not limited to, an irrevocable Beneficiary
or an assignee, must make the request that we make such a payment.
We will not agree to such a payment based on a request from the
last surviving Insured unless you are the last surviving Insured.
(b) Such a request must be In Writing.
(c) We receive In Writing proof satisfactory to us that the last
surviving Insured became terminally ill, as defined below, at
least 30 days after the Issue Date or as a result of an accident
that occurred after the Issue Date.
(d) We must receive all required information in order to meet our
obligations for tax or other regulatory reporting before we make
such a payment.
(e) We must receive all information needed to enable us to make the
payment directly to an account for the benefit of the last
surviving Insured.
Terminally ill, for purposes of this provision, means a condition diagnosed by a
physician, as defined below, which is expected to result in death within 12
months for 80% of the diagnosed cases. Physician, for purposes of this
provision, is a person other than you, the last surviving Insured, or a member
of either your or the last surviving Insured's family who meets the definition
of physician as defined in the Code as amended from time to time. We may change
the definition of terminally ill or physician to the extent needed to make any
payment pursuant to this provision exempt from federal or state income taxation.
Consequences to the Policy of an Accelerated Death Benefit Payment: An
accelerated Death Benefit payment reduces the Account Value, the Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit and any Debt in the same ratio as the Required Death
Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Period such a payment is made.
INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT VALUE
General: We offer a range of variable investment options and a Fixed Allocation
as ways to invest your Account Value. You may maintain Account Value in multiple
investment options, subject to the limits set out in the Allocation Rules
section of this Policy. You may transfer Account Value between investment
options, subject to the requirements set out in the Transfers section of this
Policy. Transfers may be subject to a fee, as shown in the Schedule.
Variable Investment Options: We offer a number of Sub-accounts as variable
investment options. These are all Sub-accounts of the Separate Account shown in
the Schedule.
The investment policy of the Separate Account will not be changed without the
approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Connecticut. Any such
approval will be on file with the Commissioner.
<PAGE>

VLI-SVIND (11/97)-12
Fixed Allocation: We credit interest to Fixed Allocations. From time to time we
declare interest rates applicable to new Fixed Allocations. If you make a Fixed
Allocation, we credit the rate then in effect to that Fixed Allocation until the
next Policy Anniversary. Once that Policy Anniversary is reached, we credit, for
the next Policy Year, the then current rate applicable to new Fixed Allocations.
This applies to all your Fixed Allocations then in effect. During each
subsequent Policy Year, the rate we credit for each Policy Year is the one in
effect for new Fixed Allocations at the beginning of the Policy Year. The
interest rates we credit are determined by us and are subject to a minimum. The
minimum is shown in the Schedule.
You may allocate part or all of the Premium to the Fixed Allocation. You may
transfer all or part of the Account Value attributable to the variable
investment options into the Fixed Allocation. Transfers from the Fixed
Allocations are subject to the limitations discussed in the Transfers section of
this policy.
OPERATIONS OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
General: The assets supporting our obligations under this Policy may be held in
various accounts, depending on the obligation being supported. Assets supporting
obligations based on the Account Value allocated to the variable investment
options are maintained in the Separate Account shown in the Schedule. This
Separate Account consists of multiple Sub-accounts. This Separate Account was
established by us pursuant to Connecticut law. This Separate Account also holds
assets of other policies issued by us with values and benefits that vary
according to the investment performance of this Separate Account. The assets of
the Separate Account will be valued at least monthly.
We are the legal owner of assets in the Separate Account. Income, gains and
losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account,
are credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account in accordance with the
terms of the policies supported by such assets without regard to our other
income, gains or losses or to the income, gains or losses in any other of our
separate accounts. We will maintain assets in the Separate Account with a total
market value at least equal to the reserve and other liabilities we must
maintain in relation to the policy obligations supported by such assets. These
assets may only be charged with liabilities which arise from such policies.
Values and benefits based on allocations to the Sub-accounts will vary with the
investment performance of the Portfolios, as applicable. We reserve the right to
transfer assets of the Separate Account, which we determine to be associated
with the class of policies to which this Policy belongs, to another Separate
Account. If this type of transfer is made, the term "Separate Account" as used
in this Policy shall mean the Separate Account to which the assets were
transferred.
The assets of the Separate Account will be available to cover the liabilities of
our general account only to the extent that the assets of the Separate Account
exceed the liabilities of the Separate Account arising under the policies
supported by the Separate Account.
The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust
which is a type of investment company. This does not involve any supervision by
the SEC of the investment policies, management or practices of the Separate
Account or of us.
GENERAL ACCOUNT
We maintain assets in our general account to support our obligations: (1) for
that portion of the Account Value allocated to any Fixed Allocation; (2) equal
to the Account Value in the Loan Account; (3) for that portion of the Death
Proceeds greater than the Account Value; (4) for any settlement option; and (5)
for any other obligation we may have in relation to a Policy for which assets
are not maintained in the Separate Account.

CHARGES
General: There are certain charges assessable against your Policy. There are
also certain charges that are assessed against the Sub-accounts of the Separate
Account, as noted below.
The charges which are or may be assessed against your Policy are: (1) the cost
of insurance charge; (2) the sales charge; (3) the tax charge, (4) the
maintenance fee, if applicable; (5) the contingent deferred sales charge; (6)
the contingent deferred tax charge; and (7) any transfer fee.
The charges assessed against the Sub-accounts of the Separate Account are: (1)
the administration charge; and (2) the mortality and expense risk charge. A
charge for taxes also may be assessed against the Sub-accounts.
Cost of Insurance Charge: The cost of insurance charge is deducted on each
Monthly Processing Date. It is deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable
investment options and any Fixed Allocations. It is a percentage of your Account
Value on the Monthly Processing Date. The percentage depends on the age of the
Insureds on the Policy Date and the Insureds' risk classes. Subject to any
requirement for prior approval of the applicable jurisdiction, we have the right
to change the current cost of insurance from time to time. However, the amount
deducted will never exceed the amount that would be deducted if we calculated
the charge as (a) multiplied by the result of (b) divided by (c) where:
(a) is the applicable guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate per
$1,000 in effect on that Monthly Processing Date;
(b) is the Net Amount at Risk on that Monthly Processing Date; and (c)
is $1,000.
Any change in the cost of insurance rates will be based on changes in our future
expectations of mortality, expenses, persistency, investment earnings and any
taxes. Changes in cost of insurance rates will not be made because of a
deterioration in an Insured's health, nor will they be made to recoup any prior
losses. The changes will be determined only prospectively and will comply with
the procedures and standards on file with the insurance department for the
jurisdiction where this policy is delivered.
Sales Charge: The sales charge is deducted on Monthly Processing Dates. It is
deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable investment options and any Fixed
Allocations. It is a percentage of your Account Value on the Monthly Processing
Date. The percentage and the period during which the sales charge applies are
shown in the Schedule.
Tax Charge: The tax charge is deducted on Monthly Processing Dates. It is
deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable investment options and any Fixed
Allocations. It is a percentage of your Account Value on the Monthly Processing
Date. The percentage and the period during which the tax charge applies are
shown in the Schedule.
Maintenance Fee: The maintenance fee may be deducted on Monthly Processing
Dates. When applicable, it is deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable
investment options and any Fixed Allocations. The amount of the fee and any
conditions such that the fee does not apply are shown in the Schedule.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge: The contingent deferred sales charge may be
deducted from amounts receivable upon surrender or a partial withdrawal. It is a
percentage of the Premium being distributed. The percentage and period to which
it applies are shown in the Schedule. It only applies to that portion of a
partial withdrawal or surrender we deem a distribution of Premium. The Surrender
and Partial Withdrawal section of this Policy describes the sources for
distribution upon a partial withdrawal or surrender, and the order in which
amounts are deemed to be withdrawn.
Contingent Deferred Tax Charge: The contingent deferred tax charge may be
deducted from amounts receivable upon surrender or a partial withdrawal. It is a
percentage of the Premium being distributed. The percentage and period to which
it applies are shown in the Schedule. It only applies to that portion of a
partial withdrawal or surrender we deem a distribution of the Premium. The
Surrender and Partial Withdrawal section of this Policy describes the sources
for distribution upon a partial withdrawal or surrender, and the order in which
amounts are deemed to be withdrawn.

Transfer Fee: The transfer fee may be deducted at the time of transfer. This
includes transfers into the Fixed Allocation and any transfers from a Fixed
Allocation. For this purpose, all transfers occurring during the same Valuation
Period are considered one transfer. We deduct the charge from the amounts
transferred pro-rata in the same ratio as Account Value is being transferred.
The amount of this charge and the circumstances when it applies are shown in the
Schedule. The following transfers are not taken into consideration in
determining whether any transfer fee applies: (a) a transfer from a Fixed
Allocation on a Policy Anniversary; (b) transfers to or from the Loan Account in
relation to loans and loan repayments.
Administration Charge: We charge for administering each Sub-account. We assess
this charge each day at the daily equivalent of the annual rate shown in the
Schedule against the assets in each Sub-account. We deduct the charge each
Valuation Period.
Mortality and Expense Risk Charges: We charge for bearing certain mortality and
expense risks related to the investment performance of the Sub-accounts. We
assess this charge each day at the daily equivalent of the annual rate shown in
the Schedule against the assets in each Sub-account. We deduct the charge each
Valuation Period.
PREMIUM PAYMENT
Premium: Issuance of this Policy represents our acceptance of both the Premium
and any Application. The amount of Premium is shown in the Schedule. Allocation
of Premium is subject to our allocation rules (see "Allocation Rules").
Additional Premiums: We will not accept any additional Premium payments under
this Policy unless we are informed on or before the date we approve the
Application for this Policy of the approximate amount of such additional
Premiums, and such additional Premiums are received not later than 6 months
after the Issue Date.
ALLOCATION RULES
You may allocate your Account Value among the investment options we make
available. We may limit the number of investment options to which Account Value
may be allocated at one time. This limit will not be less than 10 investment
options.
Until the Reallocation Date shown in the Schedule, that portion of your Premium
you designated to be allocated to variable investment options will be allocated
to the Automatic Sub-account. As of the Reallocation Date, the Account Value of
the Automatic Sub-account will be allocated per your most recent instruction to
us. If the Reallocation Date is not a Valuation Day, the Premiums will be
transferred on the Valuation Day immediately following. Any portion of the
Premium you designated to be allocated to the Fixed Allocation will be allocated
directly to the Fixed Allocation and will not be allocated to the Automatic
Sub-account.
Withdrawals of any type are taken pro-rata from the investment options based on
the then current Account Values in such investment options unless we receive
other instructions from you prior to such withdrawal. If there are multiple
Fixed Allocations as of the date of such partial withdrawal, amounts are taken
from the Fixed Allocations on a last in, first out basis.
Deductions for charges and fees are as noted above in the section entitled
"Charges," except that if there are multiple Fixed Allocations as of the
applicable Monthly Processing Date, amounts are deducted from the Fixed
Allocations on a last in, first out basis.
Should you request a transaction that would leave less than any minimum amount
we then require in an investment option, we reserve the right, to the extent
permitted by law, to add the balance of your Account Value in the applicable
Sub-account or Fixed Allocation to the transaction and close out your balance in
that investment option.

ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE
General: Your Policy has an Account Value and a Cash Value. Your Account Value
is the sum of values in: (1) any Sub-account; (2) each Fixed Allocation, if any;
and (3) the Loan Account, if any. The Cash Value is the Account Value less any
Debt and less any applicable: (1) contingent deferred sales charge; and (2)
contingent deferred tax charge.
Account Value in the Sub-accounts: We determine your Account Value separately
for each Sub-account. To determine the Account Value in each Sub-account we
multiply the Unit Price as of the Valuation Period for which the calculation is
being made times the number of Units attributable to your Account Value in that
Sub-account as of that Valuation Period.
Units: The number of Units attributable to this Policy in a Sub-account is the
number of Units purchased for you as a result of an allocation to that
Sub-account less the number of Units transferred or withdrawn. We determine the
number of Units involved in any transaction specified in dollars by dividing the
dollar value of the transaction by the Unit Price of the affected Sub-account as
of the Valuation Period applicable to such transaction.
Unit Price: For each Sub-account the initial Unit Price was $10.00. The Unit
Price for each subsequent period is the net investment factor for that period,
multiplied by the Unit Price for the immediately preceding Valuation Period. The
Unit Price for a Valuation Period applies to each day in the period.
Net Investment Factor: Each Sub-account has a net investment factor. The net
investment factor is an index that measures the investment performance of and
charges assessed against a Sub-account from one Valuation Period to the next.
The net investment factor for a Valuation Period is (a) divided by (b), less
(c); where:
(a) is the net result of :
(1) the net asset value per share of the Portfolio shares
held in the Sub-account at the end of the current
Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any
dividend or capital gain distribution declared and
unpaid by the underlying mutual fund during that
Valuation Period; plus or minus
(2) any per share charge or credit during the Valuation
Period as a provision for taxes attributable to the
operation or maintenance of the Sub-account.
(b) is the net result of :
(1) the net asset value plus any declared and unpaid
dividends per share of the Portfolio shares held in
the Sub-account at the end of the preceding Valuation
Period; plus or minus
(2) any per share charge or credit during the preceding
Valuation Period as a provision for taxes
attributable to the operation or maintenance of the
Sub-account;
(c) is the mortality and expense risk charge and the administration
charge.
We value the assets in the Sub-accounts at their fair market value in accordance
with accepted accounting practices and applicable laws and regulations. The net
investment factor may be greater than, equal to, or less than one.

Account Value For Fixed Allocations: We determine the Account Value separately
for each Fixed Allocation, other than a Fixed Allocation made on a Policy
Anniversary, from the date of such Fixed Allocation to the subsequent Policy
Anniversary. All amounts to be allocated to the fixed investment option as of
the same day are treated as one Fixed Allocation, irrespective of the source of
the Account Value being allocated to the fixed option. As of each Policy
Anniversary, all prior Fixed Allocations are combined and treated as an
allocation to a new Fixed Allocation.
The Account Value in each Fixed Allocation equals:
(a) The Account Value initially allocated to a Fixed Allocation; less (b)
Charges and fees deducted from that Fixed Allocation; less (c) Transfers
from that Fixed Allocation; less (d) Distributions from that Fixed
Allocation, for any reason; plus (e) Interest credited to that Fixed
Allocation.
Interest is credited daily on each Fixed Allocation. On any day, interest is
credited to the Account Value in a Fixed Allocation after any deductions made as
of that day and after any transfers or distributions from that Fixed Allocation
as of that day.
Account Value in the Loan Account The Account Value in the Loan Account equals:
(a) The amounts transferred to the Loan Account; less (b) Reductions from
the Loan Account as a result of loan repayments; plus (c) Interest credited
to the Loan Account.
Interest is credited daily to the Loan Account. On any day, interest is credited
to the Account Value in the Loan Account after any deductions made as of that
day and after any transfers from that Fixed Allocation as of that day.
When you take a policy loan, we transfer Account Value equal to the amount of
the policy loan from the investment options to the Loan Account. Unless you give
us prior instructions before the transfer, we transfer Account Value from the
investment options pro-rata based on the Account Value in the investment options
as of the Valuation Day of such transfer.
A preferred loan is any loan for which the transferred Account Value is deemed
to be drawn from Growth. A standard loan is any loan for which the transferred
Account Value is deemed to be drawn from Premium. Account Value moved to the
Loan Account is deemed to come first from Growth.
Account Value maintained in the Loan Account remains in the Loan Account until
the loan is repaid. Amounts in the Loan Account earn interest from the Valuation
Day of the transfer at an annual interest rate shown in the Schedule.
Monthly Deduction: Account Value is reduced by monthly deductions. On each
Monthly Processing Date, we will take the monthly deduction. The monthly
deduction consists of the then applicable amounts for the following charges and
fees:
(a) the cost of insurance charge;
(b) the sales charge;
(c) the tax charge;
(d) the maintenance fee;
(e) the charge for any benefits provided by rider.

VLI-SVIND (11/97)-17
CASH VALUE CREDIT
We add a Cash Value Credit to your Account Value on each Policy Anniversary that
the Cash Value of your Policy equals or exceeds the Cash Value trigger. The Cash
Value trigger is shown in the Schedule. Eligibility for the Cash Value Credit at
one Policy Anniversary does not mean you are eligible on any other Policy
Anniversary.
The Cash Value Credit is equal to (a) multiplied by (b); where
(a) is the Cash Value on the applicable Policy Anniversary; and (b) is the
Cash Value Credit percentage shown in the Schedule.
The Cash Value Credit, if any, due on the applicable Policy Anniversary is
applied pro-rata based on the Account Value in the investment options.
TRANSFERS
General: You may transfer Account Value between investment options, subject to
the allocation rules herein and any applicable transfer fee. The amount of such
fee and when it applies is shown in the Schedule. Your transfer request must be
In Writing unless we receive a prior written authorization from you permitting
transfers based on instructions we receive over the phone or through electronic
means. The minimum amount required to be in any investment option after a
transfer is as shown in the Schedule.
Where permitted by law, we may accept your authorization of a third party to
transfer Account Values on your behalf. We may suspend or cancel such acceptance
at any time. We give you prior notification of any such suspension or
cancellation. We may restrict the investment options that will be available to
you for transfers during any period in which you authorize such third party to
act on your behalf. We give the third party you authorize prior notification of
any such restrictions. However, we will not enforce such a restriction if we are
provided evidence satisfactory to us that: (a) such third party has been
appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to act on your behalf; or (b)
such third party has been appointed by you to act on your behalf for all your
financial affairs.
We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers in any Policy Year for all
existing or new Owners. We also reserve the right to limit the number of
transfers in any Policy Year or to refuse any transfer request for an Owner or
certain Owners if we believe that: (a) excessive trading by such Owner or Owners
or a specific transfer request or group of transfer requests may have a
detrimental effect on Unit Values or the share prices of the Portfolios; or (b)
we are informed by one or more of the Portfolios that the purchase or redemption
of shares is to be restricted because of excessive trading or a specific
transfer or group of transfers is deemed to have a detrimental effect on share
prices of affected Portfolios, or (c) we believe there may be adverse
consequences to other Owners as a result of excess transfers.
Unless we limit the number of transfers in any Policy Year, there is no limit on
the number of transfers that only involve variable investment options, or the
number of transfers from variable investment options to make Fixed Allocations.
However, we limit each transfer from Fixed Allocations that are to be effective
on any day other than a Policy Anniversary to the greater of 25% of the Account
Value in your Fixed Allocations or $1,000. If you make such a transfer from your
Fixed Allocations, you cannot make another such transfer until either 90 days
have passed or the next Policy Anniversary, if earlier.

SURRENDER AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL
Surrender: You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Value at any time. You
must send your Policy and surrender request In Writing to our Office.
Partial Withdrawals: You may withdraw part of your Account Value. The minimum
partial withdrawal amount is as shown in the Schedule. The Cash Value that must
remain in the Policy as of the Valuation Day of a partial withdrawal is as shown
in the Schedule. If the amount of the partial withdrawal request exceeds the
maximum amount available, we reserve the right to treat your request as one for
a full surrender.
The contingent deferred sales charge and/or the contingent deferred tax charge
may apply to all or a portion of a partial withdrawal. The period during which
such charges may apply and the applicable charges are shown in the Schedule.
These charges only apply to the portion of any partial withdrawal deemed to be a
withdrawal of Premium. For these purposes, partial withdrawal amounts are deemed
to be withdrawn from your Policy first from the amount available as a free
withdrawal, as described below.
Free Withdrawals: During the period any contingent deferred sales charge or any
contingent deferred tax charge may apply, you may withdraw a limited amount of
Account Value without application of any applicable contingent deferred sales
charges or contingent deferred tax charge. The minimum withdrawal amount is as
shown in the Schedule. The maximum amount available as a free withdrawal in a
Policy Year is the greater of this Policy's Growth or 10% of the Premium.
Effect of a Partial Withdrawal: Each partial withdrawal reduces the Account
Value and, as a result, the Cash Value and the Required Death Benefit as of the
Valuation Day of the partial withdrawal. As of that Valuation Day it also
reduces the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit by the same proportion as the
Account Value is reduced. As a result of the reductions to the Required Death
Benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit as of that
Valuation Day is reduced.
POLICY LOANS
General: You may borrow against your Policy. The Policy is the only collateral
we require for the loan. During the first Policy Year, the only available loan
is an amount equal to the loan in effect on any life insurance policy exchanged
for this Policy. Any such loan takes effect as of the Issue Date or, if later,
the date we apply the surrender proceeds of such exchanged policy as Premium.
After the first Policy Year, a loan may be taken at any time while the Insured
is alive and this Policy is in force. We allow one loan per Policy Year. The
loan may be repaid at any time while the Insured is living. The Debt resulting
from a loan affects the Death Proceeds, Cash Value and Accelerated Death
Benefit.
Loan Value: The loan value is the maximum amount of Account Value you may
borrow. The maximum loan value is the Account Value less the Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge and less the Contingent Deferred Tax Charge multiplied by the
maximum loan value percentage shown in the Schedule. The amount available for a
loan at any time is equal to the then maximum loan value minus any Debt. The
minimum loan amount is shown in the Schedule.
Loan Interest: Loan interest accrues daily at an effective annual interest rate
shown in the Schedule. It is payable on each Policy Anniversary. Interest not
paid when due will be added to the Account Value maintained in the Loan Account
and will be charged interest at the same rate. If you do not pay the interest
when due, we transfer Account Value from the investment options to the Loan
Account. This Account Value is taken pro-rata from the investment options based
on the Account Value in the investment options as of the Valuation Day of the
transfer. If there is inadequate Account Value in the investment options to make
such a transfer, we reserve the right to transfer the deficiency to the Loan
Account as of any subsequent Valuation Date such an amount equal to the
deficiency is available in the investment options.

VLI-SVIND (11/97)-19
Loan Repayment: Debt may be repaid in whole or in part at any time while an
Insured is living and this Policy is in force, except when an amount is due to
keep the Policy in force or upon reinstatement. Any standard loan is repaid
before a preferred loan. As of the Valuation Day of the repayment:
(a) we reduce the loan principal and outstanding loan interest
proportionately based on the ratio between loan principal and
loan interest as of that Valuation Day;
(b) we reduce the Account Value in the Loan Account by an amount
equal to the lesser of the amount of the loan repayment and the
total Account Value in the Loan Account as of that Valuation Day;
and
(c) we allocate the repayment to the investment options pro-rata
based on the Account Value in the investment options as of that
Valuation Day. Any amount then allocated to the Fixed Allocation
will be treated as a separate Fixed Allocation.
GRACE PERIOD AND REINSTATEMENT
Grace Period: We keep the Policy in force during a grace period that begins on
the Monthly Processing Date on which it is determined that the Cash Value is
zero or less than zero.
If there is no Debt as of the date the grace period begins, the Policy remains
in force with the Death Benefit equal to the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit as
of the Monthly Processing Date the grace period begins. We will notify you if
this occurs. During such grace period, you may at any time an Insured is alive
send us one payment, although none is required. This payment is equal to three
months' charges, based on: (a) the Net Amount at Risk as of the Monthly
Processing Date the grace period begins; and (b) the guaranteed monthly cost of
insurance rates per thousand as shown in the Schedule for the Insureds' then
attained Ages. We will inform you of this amount.
If there is any Debt as of the date the grace period begins, we allow a 60-day
grace period. We will send you a notice indicating the minimum payment required
to keep the Policy from lapsing. The amount equals the minimum amount needed for
the Cash Value to exceed the Debt, plus the amount equal to three months'
charges, based on: (a) the Net Amount at Risk as of the Monthly Processing Date
which began the grace period preceding the lapse; and (b) the guaranteed monthly
cost of insurance rate per thousand as shown in the Schedule for the Insureds'
then attained Ages. The Policy lapses without value if the minimum payment is
not made by the end of the 61st day. This Policy will remain in force during the
grace period.
Reinstatement: If the Policy lapses, we may reinstate the Policy at any time
within a three-year period after the end of the grace period provided we receive
the following:
(a) Written Application to reinstate;
(b) Evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
(c) Payment of an amount equal to the then current Debt plus the amount
equal to three months' charges, based on: (i) the Net Amount at Risk as
of the Monthly Processing Date which began the grace period preceding
the lapse; and (ii) the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate per
thousand as shown in the Schedule for the Insureds' attained Ages as of
the date of reinstatement.
After any reinstatement, the period during which certain charges apply may be
extended. If the lapse occurred during the period the sales charge and the tax
charge were payable, then the period during which these charges are payable is
extended by the period between the date of the lapse and the date of
reinstatement. If the lapse occurred during the period the contingent deferred
sales charge and the contingent deferred tax charge were payable upon a
withdrawal or a surrender, the Policy Years shown in the Schedule to which such
charges apply are extended by the period between the date of the lapse and the
date of reinstatement.

YOUR RIGHTS, OWNERSHIP, AND DESIGNATIONS
Ownership Rights and Beneficiary Designations: You may exercise the rights,
options and privileges granted in this Policy or permitted by us. Your rights
are subject to the rights of any assignee recorded by us and of any irrevocably
designated Beneficiary.
If more than one Owner is named, the Owners will own this Policy as joint
tenants with rights of survivorship unless otherwise stated. We require the
consent In Writing of all joint Owners for any transaction for which we require
the written consent of an Owner.
You may name a contingent Owner. You must do so In Writing. The contingent Owner
will become the Owner on your death. If there is more than one Owner, the
contingent Owner will become the Owner on the death of the last surviving Owner
unless otherwise stated In Writing. If you do not name a contingent Owner, the
estate of the last surviving Owner will own the Policy upon the last surviving
Owner's death.
Death Proceeds are payable to the Beneficiary. You may designate more than one
primary or contingent Beneficiary. If you make such a designation, the proceeds
are payable in equal shares to the survivors in the appropriate Beneficiary
class, unless you request otherwise In Writing.
If the primary Beneficiary dies before Death Proceeds become payable, the
proceeds will become payable to the contingent Beneficiary. If no Beneficiary is
alive when Death Proceeds become payable or in the absence of any Beneficiary
designation, the proceeds will vest in you or your estate.
Changing Revocable Designations: Unless you indicated that a prior choice was
irrevocable or your Policy has been endorsed to limit certain changes, you may
request to change Owner and Beneficiary designations by sending a request In
Writing.
Common Disaster: If any Beneficiary dies with the last surviving Insured in a
common disaster, it must be proved to our satisfaction that the last surviving
Insured died first. Unless information provided and satisfactory to us indicates
otherwise, the Policy is treated as though the Beneficiary died first. If both
Insureds die either simultaneously or in circumstances where it is not clear
which Insured died first, the older of the two Insureds will be deemed to be the
last surviving Insured.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Entire Contract: This Policy, any attached riders or endorsements, and the
attached copy of any Application form the entire contract. All statements made
in any Application are deemed to be representations and not warranties.
Only our President, a Vice President or Secretary may change or waive any
provisions of this Policy. Any change or waiver must be In Writing. We are not
bound by any promises or representations made by or to any other person.
Misstatement of Age or Sex: If there has been a misstatement of the age and/or
sex of an Insured, we will make adjustments to conform to the facts. As to
payments under any payment options: (a) any underpayments by us will be remedied
on the next payment following correction; and (b) any overpayments by us will be
charged against future amounts payable by us under this Policy.
Incontestability: This Policy will be incontestable after it has been in force
during either of the Insureds' lifetime for two years from its Issue Date. If
the Policy is reinstated, the Policy will be incontestable after it has been in
force for a period of two years from the date of the reinstatement. The
contestable period for any additional benefit provided by a rider attached to
this Policy is stated in the rider.
Suicide: If the First or Second Insured as shown in the Schedule dies by
suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the Issue Date and while
the Policy is in force, the Policy will terminate as of the first death by
suicide. The Death Benefit will be limited to the greater of (a) and (b) where:
a) is the Premium paid less any outstanding Debt, and any partial withdrawals as
of the date Death Proceeds would otherwise have become payable; and
b) is the Cash Value as of the date Death Proceeds would otherwise become
payable.

Transfers, Assignments or Pledges: Generally, your rights in this Policy may be
transferred, assigned or pledged for loans at any time. You may transfer, assign
or pledge your rights to another person at any time, prior to an Insured's
death. You must request a transfer or provide us with a copy of the assignment
In Writing. A transfer or assignment is subject to our acceptance. We will not
be deemed to know of or be obligated under any assignment prior to our receipt
and acceptance thereof. We assume no responsibility for the validity or
sufficiency of any assignment. A transfer, assignment or pledge may have adverse
tax consequences for you.
Nonparticipation: The Policy does not share in our profits or surplus earnings.
Deferral of Transactions: We may defer any payment for a period not to exceed
the lesser of 6 months and the period permitted by law. If we defer a
distribution or transfer from the Fixed Allocation for more than thirty days, we
pay interest of at least 3% per year on the amount deferred. We may defer any
distribution from any Sub-account or any transfer from a Sub-account for a
period not to exceed 7 calendar days from the date the transaction is effected.
Any other deferral period begins on the date such distribution or transfer would
otherwise have been transacted.
All transactions into, out of or based on any Sub-account may be postponed
whenever (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary
holidays or weekends) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
determined by the SEC; (2) the SEC permits postponement and so orders; or (3)
the SEC determines that an emergency exists making valuation or disposal of
securities not reasonably practical.
Elections, Designations, Changes and Requests: All elections, designations,
changes and requests must be In Writing and are effective only after they have
been approved by us, subject to any transactions made by us before receipt of
such notices. We inform you of any changes that materially affect your rights.
We reserve the right to require that this Policy be returned to our Office for
endorsement of any change.
Claims of Creditors: To the extent permitted by law, no payment under this
Policy is subject to the claims of the creditors of any Owner, Insured or
Beneficiary.
Tax Reporting: We intend to make all required regulatory reports regarding
taxable events in relation to this Policy. Such events may include, but are not
limited to: (a) loans; (b) payment of death benefits; (c) surrender of value
from the Policy; and (d) assignments.
Facility of Payment: We reserve the right, in settlement of full liability, to
make payments to a guardian, relative or other person if a payee is legally
incompetent.
Participation and Termination of Certain Programs We May Offer: To elect to
participate or to terminate participation in any program we may offer, we may
require receipt at our Office of a request In Writing on a form satisfactory to
us.
Reports to You: We provide reports to you while this Policy is in force. We
provide you with reports at least once each quarter that you maintain Account
Values in the Sub-accounts. We provide you with reports once a year if you
maintain Account Value only in the Fixed Allocation. You may request additional
reports. We reserve the right to charge up to $50 for each such additional
report.
Reserved Rights: In addition to rights specifically reserved elsewhere in this
Policy, we reserve the right to any or all of the following: (a) combine a
Sub-account with other Sub-accounts; (b) combine the Separate Account shown in
the Schedule with other separate accounts; (c) deregister the Separate Account
shown in the Schedule under the Investment Company Act of 1940; (d) operate the
Separate Account shown in the Schedule as a management investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 or in any other form permitted by law; (e)
make changes required by any change in the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange
Act of 1934 or the Investment Company Act of 1940; (f) make changes that are
necessary to maintain the tax status of your Policy under the Code; and (g) make
changes required by any change in other federal or state laws relating to life
insurance policies.

VLI-SVIND (11/97)-22
We may eliminate Sub-accounts, or substitute one or more Portfolios for the one
in which a Sub-account is invested. Substitutions may be necessary if we believe
a Portfolio no longer suits the purpose of the Policy. This may happen due to a
change in laws or regulations, or a change in the investment objectives or
restrictions of a Portfolio, or because the Portfolio is no longer available for
investment, or for some other reason. We would obtain prior approval from the
insurance department of our state of domicile, if so required by law, before
making such a substitution, combination, deletion or addition. We also would
obtain prior approval from the SEC as required by law, and any other required
approvals before making such a substitution, combination, deletion or addition.
Maturity Date: This Policy matures on the Policy Anniversary on or immediately
following the 95th birthday of the younger Insured or what would have been the
younger Insured's 95th birthday if the younger Insured predeceases the older
Insured. This day will be the Maturity Date. At maturity, coverage under this
Policy ends. The Cash Value will be paid to you on the Maturity Date.
POLICY PAYMENT OPTIONS
Payment Options: Partial withdrawals, surrender amounts and Death Proceeds may
be paid as a lump sum or pursuant to any other payment option we offer. If you
choose any of our payment options, you must request your choice In Writing.
Payment options can be guaranteed for life, for a certain period, for joint
lives or for a certain period and life as described below. We make available
fixed payments. We reserve the right to require that the payments be payable on
the first or the fifteenth day of a calendar month. Except for lump sum
payments, we will only make payments directly to an account with a financial
institution in the United States of America.
In the absence of an election In Writing prior to Death Proceeds becoming due,
the Beneficiary may elect to receive the Death Proceeds under one of the payment
options described below. However, if you made an election, the Beneficiary may
not alter such election.
For purposes of the payment options described below, the term "key life" means
the person or persons upon whose life any payments dependent upon the
continuation of life are based.
(a) Option 1 - Payments for Life: Under this option, income is payable
periodically prior to the death of the key life, terminating with the last
payment due prior to such death.
(b) Option 2 - Payments for Life with 10, 15, or 20 Years Certain:
Under this option, income is payable periodically for 10, 15, or 20 years, as
selected, and thereafter until the death of the key life. Should the death of
the key life occur before the end of the period selected, the remaining payments
are paid to the Beneficiary to the end of such period.
(c) Option 3 - Payments Based on Joint Lives: Under this option, income
is payable periodically during the joint lifetime of two key lives, and
thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the survivor, ceasing with the last
payment prior to the survivor's death.
(d) Option 4 - Payments for a Certain Period: Under this option, income
is payable periodically for a specified number of years. The number of years is
subject to our then current rules. Should the payee die before the end of the
specified number of years, the remaining payments are paid to the Beneficiary to
the end of such period.
The first periodic payment is determined by multiplying the amount applied to
purchase payment options (expressed in thousands of dollars) by the amount of
the first periodic payment per $1,000 obtained from our then current payment
rates for that type of payment option and for the frequency of payment selected.
These rates will not be less than those shown in the Payment Option Tables shown
herein.
We reserve the right to require submission prior to commencement of any payment
option of evidence satisfactory to us of the age of any key life upon whose life
payment amounts are calculated.
Proof of Survival: Any payment is subject to evidence satisfactory to us that
the payee is alive on the date such payment is otherwise due.

VLI-SVIND (11/97)-23
PAYMENT OPTION TABLES
The attached tables show the minimum dollar amount of each monthly payment for
each $1,000 applied under the options. The amounts payable when payments
commence may be higher, based on our then current assumptions as to interest,
expenses and mortality, but will not be lower.
Under options one and two, the amount of each payment depends on the age and
sex, if applicable, of the payee at the time the first payment is due. Under
option three, the amount of each payment depends on the age and sex, if
applicable, of both payees at the time the first payment is due. No election can
be changed once payments begin.
The tables shown are based on interest at 3% per year compounded annually and
the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table set back one year for males and two
years for females or the appropriate variation of such table with genderless
rates when applicable to the Payment Option in order to meet state or Federal
