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
offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes
effective. This prospectus shall not constitute an offer to sell or the

to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
================================================================================
This Prospectus describes a flexible 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 an 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. The questions are numbered
for easy reference.
What is American Skandia offering? We are offering a type of cash value life
insurance coverage. This life insurance coverage is called a "flexible premium
variable life insurance policy". These technical terms can be explained as
follows:
(1) The coverage is "life insurance" because a death benefit becomes
payable to a beneficiary upon the death of the insured person (if
coverage is issued on two insureds, the death benefit is payable upon
the death of the second of the insureds to die). 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
withdrawals and the right to take loans from us using the value of the
policy as collateral.
(2) The coverage is a "flexible premium" plan because it offers
considerable flexibility regarding the timing and amount of premium
payments after the first. No additional premium must be paid unless it
is required to pay the ongoing monthly charges. However, there is a
minimum amount we accept, both for initial and subsequent premiums.
There is also a maximum total amount you can pay. In order to achieve
certain beneficial tax treatment for withdrawals and loans, you may
need to limit the amounts you pay. If you pay the maximum allowable
amount, you may not be able to pay any additional premiums without
applying for, and our agreeing to issue, additional insurance.
(3) The coverage is "variable" because you can allocate all or part of your
premiums to variable investment options that invest in an underlying
mutual fund or a portfolio of an underlying mutual fund. The following
underlying mutual funds or portfolios of the following underlying
mutual funds are being offered: American Skandia Trust, The Alger
American Fund and Montgomery Variable Series. The performance of the
variable 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) The coverage allows you to allocate all or part of your premiums to a
fixed option to which we credit a fixed rate of interest. We guarantee
the rate of return on this option. These obligations are supported by
our general account. We bear the investment risk if you allocate funds
to this option.
(continued on the next page)
The variable life insurance policy described in this Prospectus is not a deposit
of or guaranteed by, any bank or bank subsidiary, and is not insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other
agency. The Policy is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss
of the principal amount invested.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
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
READ THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE CURRENT PROSPECTUSES FOR THE UNDERLYING FUNDS. KEEP
IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Prospectus Dated: December 31, 1998
(5) As life insurance, generally your beneficiary will owe no Federal
income tax on the death proceeds. Depending on whether the policy
satisfies a test outlined in the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"),
distributions taken by the owner while the insured person is alive will
be treated differently for Federal income tax purposes. This test is
commonly known as the "7-pay test". In general, this test compares the
amount of premiums paid to the amount of insurance purchased. If your
policy "passes" the 7-pay test, it will not be treated as a "modified
endowment contract" or "MEC" for income tax purposes. As a "non-MEC",
most distributions while the insured is alive, such as any withdrawals
and a surrender, are taxable, but amounts are deemed to be distributed
first from any tax basis in the policy. Also, loans from such a policy
are not treated as taxable distributions. However, if at any time the
policy "fails" the 7-pay test, the policy must be treated as a MEC for
income tax purposes. If and when that occurs, subsequent distributions
from a policy are deemed for tax purposes to come first from any gain
in the policy, and loans and assignments are deemed to be
distributions. Whether or not a policy is considered a MEC, any
distribution deemed a distribution of gain is taxable as ordinary
income.
(6) During the first ten (10) years the coverage has a limited amount of
liquidity. During that period, you can only make withdrawals under
certain medically-related circumstances or from premium amounts made in
excess of certain limits. However, you can access a portion of the
policy's value through policy loans using a portion of its value as
collateral. Assuming that the policy is not treated as a MEC, policy
loans receive favorable tax treatment. Policy loans are currently
available at no net cost. Loans can have an impact on benefits that can
be positive or negative.

DEFINITIONS
The following are key terms used in this Prospectus. Other terms are defined in
this Prospectus as they appear.
ACCOUNT VALUE is the value of your allocation to each Sub-account and any Fixed
Allocation, plus any earnings and less any losses, distributions and charges
thereon, plus the value of any amounts in the Loan Account, plus any earnings
and less any distributions and charges thereon, all before assessment of any
contingent deferred sales charge or Debt. Account Value is determined separately
for each Sub-account and each Fixed Allocation, as well as for any amounts in
the Loan Account, and then totaled to determine the Account Value of your entire
Policy.
AGE is the age of an Insured for purposes of this Policy. Initially, and for the
first Policy Year, it is the age last birthday of an Insured as of the Policy
Date. In each following Policy Year, it is the age last birthday of an Insured
as of the preceding Policy Anniversary.
APPLICATION is the form or combination of forms you must submit to apply for a
Policy. If there are two Insureds, the Application must be completed for both
Insureds.
ASSESSABLE PREMIUM is the portion of Premiums paid against which we assess any
applicable contingent deferred sales charge upon a surrender of the Policy.
BENEFICIARY is a person or entity you designate for us to pay any Death
Proceeds. Unless otherwise specified, Beneficiary refers to all persons or
entities so designated.
CASH VALUE is the Account Value less any contingent deferred sales charge, less
any unpaid charges and Debt.
CASH VALUE CREDITS are amounts we credit to your Account Value. We credit these
amounts if your total Cash Value on a Policy Anniversary equals or exceeds a
Cash Value trigger.
CODE is the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the
regulations thereunder.
DEATH BENEFIT is the amount payable as a result of an Insured's death before any
reduction due to Debt and any unpaid charges due and before addition of any
interest due pursuant to law. If there is a second Insured, the Death Benefit is
payable upon the death of the last surviving Insured.
DEATH PROCEEDS equals the Death Benefit less any reduction due to Debt and any
unpaid charges due and after addition of any interest due pursuant to law.
DEBT is the total of any outstanding loan and loan interest.
EXCHANGE POLICY is a Policy: (a) purchased as part of an exchange of life
insurance policies that does not incur any current taxation pursuant to Section
1035 of the Code or any successor provision; and (b) into which the surrender
value of one or more prior policies is contributed to the Policy in conjunction
with such exchange.
EXEMPT PREMIUM is the portion of Premiums paid against which we do not assess
any contingent deferred sales charge upon surrender or withdrawal and the amount
of any loans we establish in conjunction with your purchase of an Exchange
Policy.
FIXED ALLOCATION is an allocation of Account Value to our general account that
is credited a fixed rate of interest.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT is the minimum amount we guarantee is payable
as a result of the Insured's death, before we assess any unpaid charges due and
any reduction for Debt. However, this benefit does not apply once the Insured
reaches Age 100, or if there are two Insureds, when the younger Insured reaches
Age 100 or would have reached that Age if the younger Insured dies before the
older Insured.
IN WRITING is in a written form, in a manner we accept, that is satisfactory to
us and filed at our Office. We retain the right to specifically agree in advance
to accept communication regarding a specific matter by telephone or by some
other form of electronic transmission, in a manner we prescribe.

whose death the Death Proceeds are payable. If there is more than one Insured,

from us.
MAXIMUM ANNUAL ASSESSABLE PREMIUM is the maximum amount of Premium against which
we will assess any contingent deferred sales charge upon surrender of the

against any portion of the Premium you pay that exceeds the maximum amount for
that Policy Year.
MEC is a modified endowment contract as defined in Section 7702A of the Code or
any successor provision thereto.
MEC THRESHOLD AMOUNT is the annual level amount of Premium which, if exceeded,
would cause the Policy to become a MEC.
MINIMUM REQUIRED DEATH BENEFIT is the minimum amount due as a result of the
Insured's death pursuant to the applicable test we apply in accordance with the
Code, prior to any reduction for Debt.
MONTHLY PROCESSING DAY/DATE is the Valuation Day each month when we deduct
charges from the Account Value. The first Monthly Processing Date is the Policy
Date. After that, the Monthly Processing Dates generally occur on the same day
of the month as the Policy Date. If the Monthly Processing Date occurs on a day
that is not a Valuation Day, the Monthly Processing Date that month will be the
next Valuation Day.
NET AMOUNT AT RISK is the difference between the Death Benefit, discounted to
the beginning of the applicable Policy Month at the rate of 4% per year, and the
Account Value.
NET PREMIUM is a Premium less the deduction for premium taxes, "DAC" taxes and
any amount deductible from Premium for an optional additional benefit should you
elect such benefits.
NET SINGLE PREMIUM is the amount that would be required, according to the Code
and the regulations based on the Code, to fund: (a) the Policy's Minimum
Required Death Benefit, assuming the current Minimum Required Death Benefit
would not change; and (b) future benefits and charges using assumptions about:
(i) growth of Account Value so that it would equal the current Minimum Required
Death Benefit as of the Policy Anniversary the Insured would turn Age 100; and
(ii) charges, as provided pursuant to the Code. The Net Single Premium depends
on the attained age, gender (where permitted) and risk class of the Insured. The

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, Additional Premiums, Keeping the
Policy In Force, Transfers and Allocation Services, Loans, Partial Withdrawals,
Surrenders, Accelerated Death Benefit, Medically-Related Waiver, Risks, Other
Rights, The Separate Account, Taxes and Available Information. A section
addressing Miscellaneous Provisions and Additional Details about American
Skandia follows this description.
Purchasers
[1] .....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 persons addressing a range of estate
planning needs who also may need access to some or all of the Cash Value to meet
supplemental retirement income needs or for emergency expenses. For estate tax
purposes, purchasers may want to consider placing this type of coverage in a
trust or transferring ownership of the Policy in an effort to remove the asset
from their estate, particularly if, at any point, the purchaser believes the
Cash Value may not be needed as a resource for other purposes. 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
carefully evaluate 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
[2] .....Who is American Skandia? American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation is
organized as a stock insurance company domiciled in Connecticut. The predecessor
company of American Skandia was originally incorporated on May 21, 1969. 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 provide
certain administrative functions for us. We may also engage various independent
firms to provide various administrative functions for us. Another 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
[3] .....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.
[4] .....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 and any unpaid
charges due from the Death Benefit. We then add any interest amount required by
law.
[5] .....What is the Death Benefit? The Death Benefit depends on the Death
Benefit option you select. Initially you select an option on your Application.
The Death Benefits options are Option A (Level) and Option B (Variable), as
discussed below.
[6] .....How is the Death Benefit determined under Option A? Under Option A
(Level), the Death Benefit on the Policy Date is the Specified Amount. After
that, the Death Benefit is the highest of the Specified Amount, the Minimum
Required Death Benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, each as of the
date we receive due proof of death.
[7] .....How is the Death Benefit determined under Option B? Under Option B
(Variable), the Death Benefit on the Policy Date is the Specified Amount plus
the Account Value. After that, the Death Benefit is the highest of: the sum of
the Account Value plus the Specified Amount, the Minimum Required Death Benefit
and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, each as of the date we receive due
proof of death.
[8] .....Is there any age limit on the Death Benefit? Yes. On a single life
Policy, the Death Benefit equals the Account Value on or after the Policy
Anniversary the Insured attains Age 100. On a joint life Policy, the Death
Benefit equals the Account Value on or after the Policy Anniversary the younger
Insured, attains or, if that person is deceased, would have been, Age 100.
[9] .....What is the Specified Amount? The Specified Amount is a measuring
device we use in determining the Death Benefit before the Insured's Age 100. On
your Application, you indicate the Specified Amount you want us to issue. We may
issue that amount, or we may offer to issue a lower Specified Amount if the
Insured(s) do(es) not qualify for the amount you seek. The Specified Amount
remains level unless you request an increase or decrease and we agree to such a
change. Under certain circumstances, a partial withdrawal may also reduce the
Specified Amount, as discussed in the section on Partial Withdrawals.
[10] .....What is the Minimum Required Death Benefit? The Minimum 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 Minimum Required Death Benefit is determined by treating the
Account Value as if it were a Net Single Premium. We determine the Minimum
Required Death Benefit by multiplying the Account Value by a factor that varies
by the attained Age, gender (where permitted) and risk class of the Insured, as
shown in Appendix B. The gender and risk class of the Insured do not change, so
the only element that changes the factor after the Policy Date is the aging of
the Insured. The following are representative examples of the factors for
different Ages, genders and risk classes, as well as the amount of the Minimum
Required Death Benefit if the Account Value were $100,000.
Female, Age 45, not a tobacco user: The factor is 3.410489. $100,000
multiplied by 3.410489 results in a Minimum Required Death Benefit of
$341,048.90.
Male, Age 50, a tobacco user: The factor is 2.194450. $100,000
multiplied by 2.194450 results in a Minimum Required Death Benefit of
$219,445.00.
Female, Age 55, a tobacco user:
The factor is 2.298001. $100,000 multiplied by 2.298001 results in a
Minimum Required Death Benefit
of $229,800.10.
Male, Age 60, not a tobacco user: The factor is 1.919420. $100,000
multiplied by 1.919420 results in a Minimum Required Death Benefit of
$191,942.
The following example illustrates the effect of aging on the Minimum Required
Death Benefit.
The Insured is a woman, Age 60, for whom coverage was issued at her Age 50 in
the "not a tobacco user" risk class. On the Valuation Day before the Policy
Anniversary following the Insured's 60th birthday, the Account Value is
$100,000. The Minimum Required Death Benefit as required under the Code for this
Insured's age, gender, risk class and Account Value is $100,000 multiplied by
the applicable factor of 2.217943, which results in a Minimum Required Death
Benefit of $221,794.30. For the sake of this example, assume that the next
Valuation Day, which is the Policy Anniversary after the Insured's 60th birthday
(the day the Insured turns Age 60 for purposes of the Policy), the Account Value
remains $100,000. At the higher Age of 60, the Minimum Required Death Benefit on
the Policy Anniversary is $100,000 multiplied by the applicable factor of
2.153574, which results in a Minimum Required Death Benefit of $215,357.40.
We use a standard insurance industry method to determine the applicable factors
for Policies with two Insureds.
[11] .....What else can affect the Minimum Required Death Benefit? The Minimum
Required Death Benefit changes as the Account Value changes. This is because the
Minimum 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 60, for whom coverage was issued at her Age 50
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 Minimum Required Death Benefit as of that
Valuation Day is $100,000 multiplied by the then applicable factor of
2.153574, or $215,357.40. As of the next Valuation Day, assume the
Account Value has grown to $100,010. The Minimum Required Death Benefit
is $100,010 multiplied by the same factor of 2.153574, or $215,378.94.
(b) On a particular Monthly Processing Date, the Account Value of the
Policy is $100,000. The Minimum Required Death Benefit as of that
Valuation Day is $100,000 multiplied by the then applicable factor of
2.153574, or $215,357.40. As of the next Valuation Day, assume the
Account Value has decreased to $99,990. The Minimum Required Death
Benefit is $99,990 multiplied by the same factor of 2.153574, or
$215,335.86.
(c) On a particular Monthly Processing Date, the Account Value of the
Policy before any partial withdrawal is $100,000. The Minimum Required
Death Benefit as of that Valuation Day is $100,000 multiplied by the
then applicable factor of 2.153574, or $215,357.40. On that same day,
assume $20,000 is taken as a partial withdrawal, and the $25.00 partial
withdrawal transaction fee is charged. Immediately after the partial
withdrawal, the Minimum Required Death Benefit is $79,975 multiplied by
the same factor of 2.153574, or $172,232.08.
[12] .....What is the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit? We use the Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit to determine the Death Proceeds under certain
circumstances. Under Option A, we use the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit when
it is higher than both the Specified Amount and the Minimum Required Death
Benefit. Under Option B, we use the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit when it is
higher than both the sum of the Account Value plus the Specified Amount, and the
Minimum Required Death Benefit. There is no Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
beyond Age 100 of the Insured, or if the policy terminates before the Insured's
death. The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is determined as follows:
(a) On the Policy Date, the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit equals the
initial Premium.
(b) After the Policy Date and until the first Policy Anniversary, the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is the total of all Premiums paid less
any partial withdrawals.
(c) After the first Policy Anniversary but before the "target date," (the
Policy Anniversary when the Insured is Age 75), the Guaranteed Minimum
Death Benefit is the higher of (1) or (2), where: (1) is the total of
all Premiums paid less all partial withdrawals; and (2) is the highest
"Anniversary Value." "Anniversary Value" is the Account Value on any
Policy Anniversary less all subsequent partial withdrawals.
(d) On or after the "target date", the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is
the higher of (1) or (2), where: (1) is the total of all Premiums paid
less all partial withdrawals and (2) is the highest Anniversary Value,
as defined above in (c), as of the "target date," less all partial
withdrawals after the "target date." If there are two Insureds, the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit ends 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.
(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 total of all Premiums paid less all partial withdrawals.
(f) If the Policy is issued for two (2) Insureds, the "target date" 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. This also applies if, as of the Policy Date, the younger
Insured is younger than Age 75.
[13] .....Would you please provide examples of how the Death Benefit is
determined? Below are six examples of how the Death Benefit is determined. Each
example assumes the death claim becomes payable exactly on the stated Policy
Anniversary. Values shown are hypothetical, including the amount of Premiums
paid, the Account Values shown as of the date the death claim is payable and the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit then applicable.
The first three examples illustrate death benefit Option A. The first example is
a situation where the Death Benefit equals the Specified Amount. The second is
an example where the Death Benefit is the Minimum Required Death Benefit. The
third is an example where the Death Benefit is the Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit.
Examples four through six illustrate death benefit Option B. The fourth example
is a situation where the Death Benefit is the Specified Amount plus the Account
Value. The fifth is an example where the Death Benefit is the Minimum Required
Death Benefit. The sixth example is a situation where the Death Benefit is the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. In reviewing the examples for Option B, please
remember that the sum of the Specified and the Account Value is compared to the
Minimum Required Death Benefit and the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit.
The third and sixth examples assume that positive investment performance
significantly increased Account Value, which was then followed by a period of
substantial negative investment performance.
Each example assumes that we issue a Policy to a 50 year old man who qualifies
for the No Tobacco use class, we issued the Policy 6 months after his 50th
birthday, the Policy has a Specified Amount of $100,000 and there have been no
withdrawals. Please remember that these examples show the Death Benefit, and
that the Death Proceeds equal the Death Benefit reduced by any Debt and
increased by any required interest.

[14] .....Does choosing between Options A and B affect anything other than the
Death Benefit? Yes. Choosing Option A or Option B affects the Net Amount at Risk
which will have an impact on the amount you pay in cost of insurance charges.
Option B initially has a higher Net Amount at Risk which will result in a higher
cost of insurance charge. It may also have an impact on what you might pay upon
surrender. How these charges work are discussed in more detail below in the
section on Costs. An increase in charges has a negative impact on the growth of
your Account Value. A decrease in charges has a positive impact on the growth of
your Account Value.
[15] .....Who chooses which option to use? You choose the option on your
Application for a Policy. If you do not elect a Death Benefit option on your
Application we will review the Application to determine if our underwriting
requirements are met. However, we will require you to elect either Option A or
Option B prior to issuing a Policy.
[16] .....May I change the Death Benefit option or the Specified Amount? While
the Insured is alive, you may request to change the Death Benefit option or to
increase or decrease the Specified Amount to meet changing needs or goals.
Any change to the Death Benefit option is subject to our acceptance and our
rules, which include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Any change must take effect after the first Policy Year.
2. We only permit one such change per Policy Year.
3. We must receive the request In Writing at our Office.
4. We may require satisfactory evidence of insurability for any change that
prospectively increases the Net Amount at Risk.
5. If evidence of insurability is required, we will not accept the request
if the Insured(s) is over our then current maximum age for issuing a
Policy.
6. We may require you to sign an acknowledgment that you understand the
impact or potential impact of the change on the tax treatment of your
Policy, particularly if the change results or may result in your Policy
becoming a MEC. Changing between Option A and Option B also may have an
impact on whether a Policy is treated as a MEC. Therefore, you should
consult with a competent tax advisor before requesting a change.
7. If we grant any such request, it will take effect on the Monthly
Processing Day occurring on or immediately following the date we agree
to such a change.
8. On the date the change takes effect, there will be no change in the
Death Benefit. That means that, if you change from Option A to Option
B, the Specified Amount will be reduced.
Any change to the Specified Amount is subject to our rules, which include, but
are not limited to the seven rules outlined above for changing the Death Benefit
option, plus the following additional rules:
1. The amount of any increase or decrease may not be less than $5,000.
2. The Specified Amount after any decrease may not be less than $50,000 (single
life Policy) or $100,000 (joint life Policy).
3. No decrease in the Specified Amount is permitted during the first five Policy
Years or during the five calendar years subsequent to any increase in Specified
Amount.
[17] .....What other parts of the Policy are affected if I change the Specified
Amount? Increasing the Specified Amount initially results in a higher Death
Benefit, unless the increased Specified Amount would then not exceed the Minimum
Required Death Benefit or the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. When the Death
Benefit is increased in this way, it initially increases the Net Amount at Risk,
and therefore, the cost of insurance charge. Decreasing the Specified Amount
generally has the opposite effects. Changing the Specified Amount could affect
the maximum Premiums you may pay, as well as the Maximum Annual Assessable
Premium. Also, if your policy is not deemed to be a MEC, changing the Specified
Amount may affect how much Premium you may subsequently pay without the Policy
becoming a MEC.
[18] .....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
one of the settlement options we make available. However, you, rather than the
Beneficiaries, may choose the method of payment from among those we make
available if you let us know In Writing before the Insured's death how you want
the Death Proceeds to be paid.
Account Value and Cash Value
[19] .....What is the Account Value? The Account Value is the value of a Policy
while the Insured is alive before any deduction for any contingent deferred
sales charge and before any reduction for any Debt. It is the total of the
Account Value allocated to each Sub-account and any Fixed Allocations plus any
Account Value in the Loan Account. You may allocate Account Value to the
variable investment options, which are each of the Sub-accounts of the Separate
Account, or to Fixed Allocations. Any portion of the Account Value maintained in
the Loan Account serves as collateral for outstanding Policy loans.
[20] .....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.
[21] .....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 that 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.
[22] .....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.
[23] .....How does American Skandia determine the Account Value in the Loan
Account? As of the date of this Prospectus, we currently credit interest to
Account Value in the Loan Account at the rate of 6.0% per year, compounded
yearly. However, to the extent permitted by law, we retain the right to credit
less, but never less than [ ]% per year, compounded yearly.
[24] .....What is the Cash Value? The Cash Value is the total Account Value less
any contingent deferred sales charge, unpaid charges and Debt.
[25] .....Do I have to maintain a minimum Cash Value? There must always be
enough Cash Value so that, on any Monthly Processing Date, the Cash Value is
sufficient to pay for the charges then due. If the Cash Value is insufficient to
pay for the charges, we send you a notice giving you a 61-day "grace period" to
send us a required amount. If the Cash Value at the end of the grace period,
after deduction for all previously unpaid charges, is zero or less, the Policy
ends without value, unless the guaranteed continuation provision applies. This
provision is discussed in the section "Keeping the Policy In Force".
Cash Value Credits
[26] .....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. Your Policy's eligibility for Cash Value
Credits may change from year to year. The Cash Value trigger depends on the
total amount of Premiums paid. Whether your Cash Value meets or exceeds the
trigger depends on the investment performance of the investment options, partial
withdrawals, Debt and whether you pay back any loans or loan interest.
[27] .....What is the Cash Value trigger? The Cash Value trigger is 200% of the
Premiums you pay. Please note, even if your Account Value is greater than the
Cash Value trigger, 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 and any Debt.
[28] .....How much is added to my Account Value? The Cash Value Credit, if any,
added to your Account Value equals 0.50% of the Cash Value on the applicable
Policy Anniversary. The following examples illustrate how this works:
(a) Assume that the total amount of Premiums paid is $70,000. Assume
that on the 14th Policy Anniversary the Cash Value is $150,000.
The Cash Value trigger is 200% of $70,000, which is $140,000. The
amount to be added to the Account Value is 0.50% of $150,000,
which is $750.
(b) For the same Policy, assume that the Cash Value on the 15th Policy
Anniversary is $115,000, 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 remains $140,000.
Therefore, no Cash Value Credit is provided on the 15th Policy
Anniversary.
(c) For the same Policy, assume that the Cash Value on the 16th Policy
Anniversary is $160,000, due to a combination of investment
performance and repayment of the loan and loan interest. The Cash
Value trigger remains $140,000. The amount to be added is 0.50% of
$160,000, which is $800.
[29] .....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
[30] .....What kinds of charges are there for this Policy? The Policy has five
(5) different kinds of charges: (1) charges we deduct from Premiums; (2) 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; (3)
charges we deduct monthly from the Account Value and which are due in all Policy
Years to Age 100; (4) charges we deduct monthly from the Account Value for a
specified number of Policy Years; and (5) "contingent" charges, which are those
charges that you only pay in certain specified circumstances. There also are
fees and expenses charged by the Portfolios.
[31] .....What charges are deducted from Premiums? We deduct a percentage of
each Premium in relation to state and local premium taxes we may incur on that
Premium, and an amount in relation to our Federal taxes. We deduct these charges
before we allocate the net amount to the investment options.
[32] .....How much is charged for premium taxes? The amount we charge is based
on the rates determined by state and local governments. In most jurisdictions
these rates range for 0% to 3.5% of each Premium. The actual percentages we
charge for the states and the District of Columbia as of the date of this
Prospectus are found in Appendix C.
[33] .....What is the charge in relation to the Company's Federal taxes? The
Code requires a life insurer to capitalize an imputed acquisition expense,
thereby increasing its tax liability over what it would be without this special
provision. The tax liability created by this imputed acquisition expense is
sometimes referred to as a "deferred acquisition cost" tax, or "DAC" tax. To
reimburse us for this special insurance company tax at a rate we believe to be
reasonable in relation to the liability, we deduct an amount equal to 1.15% of
each Premium.
[34] .....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. The mortality
and expense risk charge is 0.90% per year. The mortality risk we assume is that
cost of insurance charges under the Policy will be insufficient to meet our
claims paying obligations. The expense risk we assume is that overall expenses
incurred in issuing and administering the Policy will exceed the charges and
fees stated in the Policy. 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 daily 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.
[35] .....What monthly charge applies in all Policy Years to Age 100? We deduct
the cost of insurance charge until the Policy Anniversary on or immediately
after the Insured's 100th birthday. For Policies with two Insureds, this is the
Policy Anniversary on or after the 100th birthday of the younger Insured, or if
that person is deceased, what would have been that Insured's 100th birthday. We
take this charge from your Account Value each Monthly Processing Day.
[36] .....How much is the cost of insurance charge? The monthly cost of
insurance charge is determined by multiplying the current monthly cost of
insurance rate by the Net Amount at Risk. To that amount we add a cost of
insurance fee. The current cost of insurance rates and cost of insurance fee are
subject to change; however, the combination will not exceed the product of the
guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge multiplied by the Net Amount at
Risk. The cost of insurance charge is not a constant dollar amount.
Please note that in calculating the Net Amount at Risk, the Death Benefit that
would then apply is the highest of the Minimum Required Death Benefit, the
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit or, the Specified Amount (for Option A), or the
sum of the Specified Amount plus the Account Value (for Option B). The cost of
insurance rates increase as the Insured ages, although the rates may not
increase each Policy Year. We reserve the right to vary the rates per thousand
of Net Amount at Risk based on either the Net Amount at Risk or on the Specified
Amount.
We reserve the right to adjust current monthly cost of insurance rates by an
underwriting factor. As of the date of this Prospectus, we were not making any
such adjustments.
The guaranteed maximum monthly cost of insurance charges for Policies with one
Insured are shown in Appendix D. The current monthly cost of insurance rates as
of the date of this Prospectus for Policies with one Insured are shown in
Appendix E. Corresponding rates for two proposed Insureds are available from us
upon request. A detailed explanation of how we calculate the current monthly
cost of insurance charges and a sample calculation are provided in Appendix F.
[37] .....What is the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge? The
guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge is different at each Age. The
guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge depends on the risk class of each
Insured. We base the guaranteed maximum charges on the sex distinct 1980
Commissioners Standard Ordinary Ultimate Mortality Smoker/Non-Smoker Table, age
last birthday. However, if required by law, unisex charges will apply, and we
will use a unisex variation of that table.
[38] .....What monthly charges apply only for a specified number of Policy
Years? We deduct a sales charge for a specified number of Policy Years.
[39] .....How much is the sales charge and when do I pay it? We deduct the sales
charge during the first ten (10) Policy Years. It is a percentage of your
Account Value and is the equivalent of 0.40% per year. We deduct this charge
from your Account Value each Monthly Processing Day.
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?"
[40] .....What are the contingent charges? The contingent charges are: (1) the
contingent deferred sales charge; (2) the transfer fee; and (3) the partial
withdrawal transaction fee.
[41] .....How much is the contingent deferred sales charge, and when must I pay
it? The contingent deferred sales charge is a percentage of the Assessable
Premium paid. It is charged if you surrender the Policy during the first ten
(10) Policy Years, unless the Policy qualifies for a medically-related waiver of
these charges, as discussed in the section of this Prospectus entitled
"Medically-Related Waiver".
The percentages that we assess against Assessable Premium upon a surrender are
as follows:

[42] .....How does American Skandia determine the Assessable Premium? The
Assessable Premium equals the total Premiums less the total Exempt Premiums.
[43] .....What are Exempt Premiums? Exempt Premiums are the amounts against
which we will not charge a contingent deferred sales charge upon surrender or
withdrawal.
[44] .....How does American Skandia determine which Premium amounts are Exempt
Premiums? Exempt Premiums are that portion of Premiums paid in any Policy Year
that exceeds the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium.
[45] .....What is the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium? The Maximum Annual
Assessable Premium is an amount per thousand of Specified Amount. The amount is
cumulative from year to year. For example, if your Maximum Annual Assessable
Premium is $5,000 and you make a Premium payment of $4,000 in Policy Year 1, in
Policy Year 2 your Maximum Annual Assessable Premium is $5,000 plus $1,000 from
Policy Year 1, or $6,000. The Maximum Annual Assessable Premium depends on the
Age, risk class and, where permitted, gender of the Insured. The Maximum Annual
Assessable Premium is increased if you increase the Specified Amount, and is
decreased if you decrease the Specified Amount. We have provided a table in
Appendix G of the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium for Policies with one
Insured and two Insureds.
[46] .....Please provide examples of what it would cost to surrender the Policy
The following are two hypothetical examples of how much it would cost to
surrender the Policy. In each example, it is assumed that neither the Specified
Amount nor the Death Benefit option is changed after the Policy Date.
(1) In this first example, assume that the Policy is a New Policy.
Assume also: (a) the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium is $10,000;
(b) $10,000 of Premium was paid in each of Policy Years 1 through
5, for a total of $50,000; (c) the Policy is being surrendered in
Policy Year 6; and (d) at the time of surrender, the Account Value
is $75,000.
Given these facts, the Assessable Premium equals the Premiums
paid. No amount paid in any Policy Year exceeded the Maximum
Annual Assessable Premium. The contingent deferred sales charge
for a surrender in Policy Year 6 is 5% of the Assessable Premium
(5% of $50,000 or $2,500). The amount payable upon surrender would
be $75,000 less $2,500, which equals $72,500
(2) In this second example, assume that the Policy is an Exchange
Policy. Assume also: (a) the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium is
$10,000; (b) the proceeds of the exchange were $50,000, which was
the initial Premium, and $5,000 of subsequent Premium was paid in
the second Policy Year; (c) the Policy is being surrendered in
Policy Year 6; and (d) at the time of surrender, the Account Value
is $85,000.
Given these facts, the Assessable Premium is less than the
Premiums paid. The amount of Premium paid in the first Policy Year
over $10,000 is Exempt Premium. Since $50,000 was paid in the
first Policy Year, the amount of the Exempt Premium paid in that
Policy Year was $50,000 minus $10,000, which is $40,000. There was
no Exempt Premium in the second Policy Year, since $5,000 is less
than the applicable Maximum Annual Assessable Premium for the
second Policy Year, which is $10,000. Since there has not been a
change to the Specified Amount or Death Benefit option, the
percentage to be assessed will be assessed against $55,000 of
Premium less $40,000 of Exempt Premium, which equals $15,000. The
contingent deferred sales charge for a surrender in Policy Year 6
is 5% of the Assessable Premium (5% of $15,000 or $750). The
amount payable upon surrender would be $85,000 less $750, which is
$84,250.
[47] .....Are there any situations in which the sales charge and the contingent
deferred sales charge are reduced or eliminated? 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.
[48] .....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. It does not include transfers made as
part of any dollar cost averaging program we offer. For this purpose, all
transfers occurring during the same Valuation Period are considered one
transfer. We assess the transfer fee at the time of any transfer which is
subject to the fee.
[49] .....How much is the partial withdrawal transaction fee, and when must I
pay it? We charge $25.00 as a transaction fee for each partial withdrawal unless
the partial withdrawal qualifies as a medically-related withdrawal. This amount
is deducted separately from your Account Value.
[50] .....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.
[51] .....What are the charges for the Portfolios? We do not assess any charges
against the Portfolios. However, each Portfolio charges a total annual fee
comprised of an investment management fee and operating expenses. 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
[52] .....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 younger than Age 18 or older than Age 80. If our standards are
not met and we received a Premium, we will return an amount equal to the Premium
to you. 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, or proceeds of a
redemption from another financial product, such as mutual funds. 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.
[53] .....When do I pay the initial Premium? You may submit Premium with the
Application if the Insured meets certain medical underwriting criteria.
If any portion of any Premium is to be received as part of a replacement of a
life insurance policy (whether or not a tax-free exchange), endowment or annuity
policy then we must receive all our requirements In Writing for all such
replacements as of the same date. This date must be prior to the date we decide
to issue a Policy. Replacements are subject to our acceptance.
If we do 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 let you know at that time the minimum and maximum amounts we
accept as the initial Premium. We will not issue a Policy until we receive at
least the minimum initial Premium at our Office.
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
from one or more financial institutions with which you currently maintain funds
and use those funds to pay Premium. 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.
[54] .....What is the initial Premium? There is not a fixed amount of initial
Premium. Instead, we accept a range of initial Premium between a minimum and a
maximum. The minimum and maximum depends on the Specified Amount and the
Insured's age, risk class and gender, where permitted, as of the Policy Date.
[55] .....What is the maximum initial Premium I can pay? The maximum initial
Premium we accept equals the maximum amount that can be paid without increasing
the Death Benefit on the Policy Date. However, if you submit any Premium before
we have determined whether you meet our requirements for issuing a Policy, we
will not accept more than $500,000 without prior Home Office approval.
[56] .....What is the minimum initial Premium I can pay? The minimum Premium we
generally accept as an initial Premium is one fourth (1/4th) of the Maximum
Annual Assessable Premium. We may accept less under certain circumstances, such
as when you authorize periodic withdrawals from an account you may have with a
bank or other financial institution in amounts designed to cumulatively pay
amounts equal to at least one fourth (1/4th) of the MEC Threshold Amount.
[57] .....Will you accept my initial Premium if it causes my Policy to be
treated as a MEC? We will not apply the portion of an initial Premium that we
believe would require us to treat your Policy as a MEC unless you acknowledge In
Writing before the Policy Date that we will treat the Policy as a MEC. If we do
not receive such notification, we will return to you the difference between the
amount you submitted and the amount we will apply as the initial Premium.
However, this will not apply in the case of an Exchange Policy where we receive
information we believe requires us to treat the Exchange Policy as a MEC in any
case.
[58] .....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) no Insured is under age 18; 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 the conditions of the
temporary insurance agreement are satisfied. 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 60 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 lasts no longer than 90 days.
[59] .....What is the temporary insurance benefit? If the Insured dies while
temporary insurance is in effect, we pay the Beneficiary the lesser of the Death
Benefit 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.
[60] .....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 (1) the Premiums paid,
or (2) your Account Value plus an amount that equals any premium tax and DAC tax
deducted and any charges deducted from your Account Value. However, if you have
submitted a "return waiver," we will return only your Account Value plus any
premium and DAC taxes deducted and any charges deducted from your Account Value.
This may be more or less than the Premiums paid.
[61] .....How and when is my initial Premium invested? We invest your Net
Premium, which is the Premium less the charges deducted from each Premium and
any charge for optional additional benefits (should you elect such benefits). We
invest the initial Net Premium on the Policy Date. You can request that we
allocate the initial Net Premium using one or more variable investment options
and/or a Fixed Allocation. However, we initially invest the portion of the
initial Net Premium that you indicate you want invested in variable investment
options in the AST Money Market Sub-account, unless you submit a "return waiver"
In Writing before the Policy Date, where permitted by law. This also applies to
any additional Premium we receive during the "free-look" period discussed below.
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.
[62] .....How do I choose how much of this type of life insurance to buy, which
Death Benefit Option to use and how much Premium to pay? The Death Benefit
Option, Specified Amount and the program of Premium payments that is right for
your needs depends on your particular circumstances and the reasons you are
buying a Policy. You and your financial representative should discuss your needs
and financial goals before applying for a Policy.
Variable Investment Options
[63] .....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 an underlying mutual fund or
one portfolio of an underlying mutual fund. 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 the
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.

Additional Premiums
[64] When may I contribute additional Premiums and how much may I pay? You may
send us additional Premiums at any time before the Insured's Age 100 and while
the Insured is alive unless the amount you have paid to-date equals the then
current maximum we permit. The amount you may pay is flexible within the limits
discussed below.
[65] When do you allocate additional Premiums? We allocate Net Premium resulting
from an additional Premium payment to the investment options as of the Valuation
Period we receive that Premium at our Office.
[66] How do you allocate additional Premiums among the investment options? We
allocate Net Premiums resulting from additional Premium payments according to
your most recent instructions to us. If you are participating in any allocation
programs we agree to support, such as any program of periodic rebalancing of
your Account Value among various investment options, we will allocate additional
Premiums in accordance with such a program unless we receive alternate
instructions.
[67] What is the most I may pay in total while I own a Policy? The maximum you
may pay changes. At any particular time, it is the amount which, at that time,
would not cause the Death Benefit to increase by more than the amount of the
Premium. We reserve the right to require new evidence satisfactory to us that
the Insured meets our underwriting standards before we agree to accept such
Premium. We discuss in the section on Loans what we do if there is any
outstanding Debt.
[68] What is the least amount I may pay at any one time? Unless you must make a
payment to keep the Policy in force, as discussed below, the minimum amount we
accept as an additional Premium depends on whether you have arranged to make
periodic withdrawals from a bank or other financial institution ($100), or
whether you make additional Premium payments directly ($500).
[69] Will you accept an additional Premium if it causes my Policy to be treated
as a MEC? We will not apply the portion of any Premium that we believe would
require us to treat your Policy as a MEC if it was not previously a MEC.
However, if you provide us with a notice In Writing that you understand that the
additional Premium will require us to treat your Policy as a MEC, we will accept
the Premium. If you do not give us such notice, we will return the difference
between the amount you submitted and any amount we apply as a Premium.
[70] How much may I pay as additional Premium if I don't want the Policy treated
as a MEC? If your Policy is not being treated as a MEC, the amount of additional
Premium you can pay at any time without your Policy subsequently being treated
as a MEC depends on the following factors:
(a) The Policy Year in which you want to make the payment and the
Premiums previously paid: The maximum additional Premium you can pay equals the
cumulative MEC Threshold Amount for the current Policy Year plus the prior
Policy Years, less the cumulative total amount previously paid. For example,
assume that as of the Policy Date, the MEC Threshold Amount was $10,000. Also
assume that you gave us $8,000 in each of the first three Policy Years. In the
fourth Policy Year, the maximum premium you can pay without the Policy being
treated as a MEC equals 4 X $10,000 ($40,000) minus 3 X $8,000 ($24,000), which
equals $16,000.
(b) The Specified Amount as of the time you make the payment: How much
you may pay without your Policy being treated as a MEC changes after any
increase or decrease to the Specified Amount. You may pay more after an increase
to the Specified Amount, subject to the maximum Premium rules noted above. You
may be able to pay less in additional Premium, or may not be able to pay any
further additional Premium after a change to the Specified Amount if you do not
want your Policy treated as a MEC. Whether you may pay anything further will
depend on the extent of the reduction to the Specified Amount.
(c) The amount of any proceeds contributed from any prior policy if you
purchased an Exchange Policy: Any proceeds contributed to an Exchange Policy
reduce the MEC Threshold Amount.
Keeping the Policy In Force
[71] What is the least amount I must pay so that the Policy doesn't end? We
cannot know in advance any minimum amount that will be required to keep the
Policy from ending without value. This is because: (1) the charges we deduct
each month are based on your Account Value, which may increase or decrease due
to the performance of the investment options; (2) we retain the right to
decrease or increase the current cost of insurance rates, subject to the
guaranteed maximums in the Policy; and (3) you may request and we may agree to a
change in the Death Benefit Option and/or the Specified Amount. If, on any
Monthly Processing Day, your Cash Value is insufficient to pay the current
deductions, a 61-day "grace period" begins unless the guaranteed continuation
provision is then applicable, as discussed below. If you enter the grace period,
we will send you a notice of how much you have to pay before the end of the
grace period to keep the Policy in force.
[72] Can the Policy end because of poor investment performance? The Policy could
enter the grace period because of poor investment performance combined with the
deduction of the Policy's fees and charges. If that were to occur and, by the
end of the grace period, there was not enough Cash Value to deduct the unpaid
charges, the Policy would end, unless the guaranteed continuation provision
applies.
[73] What is the guaranteed continuation provision? During the first ten Policy
Years, you may qualify for a guaranteed continuation provision if: (1) the total
amount of Premium you have paid is not less than a specified minimum for each
Policy Month times the number of Policy Months since the Policy Date; and (2)
there is no Debt. We call the specified minimum for each Policy Month the
"monthly continuation amount". This amount is 1/24th of the Maximum Annual
Assessable Premium. If you qualify for continuation under this provision, we
guarantee that your Policy will not enter into a grace period until the 10th
Policy Anniversary. For example, if the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium is
$12,000, then the monthly continuation amount is $500. If your Policy was in its
20th Policy Month, the sum of the monthly continuation amounts would be $10,000.
Therefore, for purposes of this example, the guaranteed continuation provision
would apply in the 20th Policy Month if you had paid at least $10,000 to that
point, and would apply in the 21st Policy Month if you had paid at least $10,500
up to the 21st Policy Month, assuming there is no Debt. We adjust the monthly
continuation amount going forward after any increase or decrease to the
Specified Amount in the first 10 Policy Years.
The Death Benefit while the Policy is kept in force by this provision is the
Death Benefit in effect as of the Monthly Processing Day the grace period
otherwise would have begun.
Transfers and Allocation Services
[74] 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?" We permit the agent of record to make
transfers on your behalf unless you give us other instructions.
[75] Are there any limits on transfers? No transfers are permitted when the
Policy is in its "grace period." In order to maintain Account Value in an
investment option after transferring a portion of your Account Value out of that
investment option, we reserve the right to require that there be at least
$500.00 in such investment option after the transfer. If, as a result of the
transfer, there would be less than $500.00 in an investment option, we reserve
the right to 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 or limit transfers, either for one Owner or a group
of Owners, if we believe there may be adverse consequences for other Owners.
[76] What are `allocation services'? Allocation services are programs that
automatically transfer Account Value between investment options. We may waive or
reduce the minimum amounts required for transfers noted above when your Policy
is participating in certain allocation programs, including, but not limited to,
static rebalancing programs. However, any limitations on transfers from Fixed
Allocations also apply if any allocation services are being utilized.
[77] What allocation services does American Skandia provide? We support dollar
cost averaging and static rebalancing.
Loans
[78] When can I take a loan? We offer loans using Account Value as collateral.
Where permitted by law, we reserve the right to limit the number of loans in
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, on the Policy Date we will establish a loan equal to the outstanding
indebtedness on previous life insurance exchanged for a Policy.
[79] Is this type of loan tax-free? A loan is not treated as a distribution and
does not result in any taxable income unless, for any reason, we believe your
Policy must be treated as a MEC.
[80] 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.
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
$1,000.
[81] What happens to the Account Value if I take a loan? When you take a loan,
we transfer 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 interest rate credited
to Account Value in the Loan Account is greater than what would be earned in the
investment options, the loan will have a positive impact on your Account Value.
If the interest rate credited to Account Value in the Loan Account is less than
what would be earned in the investment options, the loan will have a negative
impact on your Account Value. Because a loan can impact the Account Value, it
may also have an impact on the Minimum Required Death Benefit and, possibly, the
Death Benefit.
[82] 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.
[83] Does Account Value in the Loan Account earn interest? We credit interest to
Account Value in the Loan Account. We currently credit interest at the rate of
6.0% per year, compounded yearly, to the Account Value maintained in the Loan
Account. We may change this rate, but it will not be less than 5.5% per year,
compounded yearly.
[84] 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.
We monitor the Debt and the Account Value in the Loan Account to assure that
they 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.
[85] When must I repay the loan? You are not required to repay the loan while
the Insured is alive, except if you request reinstatement if the Policy lapses.
[86] 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.
[87] What happens if I repay any portion of the loan? The amount of Debt is
reduced by the amount of any loan repayment. Loan repayments reduce 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 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.
[88] May I borrow from the Policy to make Premium payments? We will not accept
instructions to borrow from your Policy and use the loan to make Premium
payments.
[89] If I have an outstanding loan and send in money, do you use it to repay the
loan or do you consider it a Premium payment? We treat such funds as Premium or
loan repayment in accordance with your instructions, to the extent such
instructions comply with limitations such as the then applicable maximum Premium
for the Policy. If you send us funds and do not specify whether the money is to
be used as a Premium or to repay a loan, we treat the money as a Premium payment
to the extent such amount does not exceed the maximum Premium then allowed. We
will return to you any amount that exceeds the maximum Premium then allowed.
Partial Withdrawals
[90] When can I make a partial withdrawal? We allow partial withdrawals while
the Insured is alive, subject to the following limitations:
(a) In the first ten Policy Years, we permit a partial withdrawal if
such a withdrawal meets the requirements for a medically-related waiver, as
described in the section "Medically Related Waiver".
(b) After the tenth Policy Year, you may take up to the maximum partial
withdrawal amount as discussed below.
(c) At any time, you may withdraw amounts that cumulatively do not
exceed the total of any Exempt Premiums less the Exempt Premiums previously
withdrawn.
(d) No partial withdrawal may be less than $1,000.
[91] How much is available as a partial withdrawal? The maximum partial
withdrawal is up to 90% of the Cash Value. As a consequence of any partial
withdrawal, the Specified Amount must be at least a specified minimum and your
Cash Value must be at least $1,000. The specified minimum for Policies with one
Insured is $50,000. The specified minimum for Policies with two Insureds is
$100,000.
[92] 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.
[93] Is there a charge for a partial withdrawal? We charge a $25.00 transaction
fee on any partial withdrawal.
[94] Does a partial withdrawal affect the Death Benefit? A partial withdrawal
will have an immediate impact on the Death Benefit. A partial withdrawal always
reduces the Minimum Required Death Benefit, because the Minimum Required Death
Benefit is based on the Account Value. A partial withdrawal also results in a
reduction to the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. If you are using Option B,
the Specified Amount is not reduced by a partial withdrawal. If you are using
Option A, the Specified Amount is reduced by the lesser of: (1) the amount of
the partial withdrawal, including the amount of the transaction fee; or (2) the
extent required such that, immediately after such reduction, the Specified
Amount equals the higher of the recalculated Minimum Required Death Benefit and
the recalculated Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit.
If a partial withdrawal occurs on or after Age 100, it reduces the Death Benefit
by the exact amount of the partial withdrawal plus the partial withdrawal
transaction fee, because on or after that Age the Death Benefit equals the
Account Value.
Surrenders
[95] 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.
[96] What is paid out when a Policy is surrendered? If you surrender the Policy,
we will pay you the Cash Value.
Accelerated Death Benefit
[97] What is an accelerated death benefit? An accelerated death benefit is
pre-payment to the Owner of a portion of the Death Proceeds. The maximum we will
pay, before any reductions, is the lesser of 50% of the 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, based on the ratio by which
the Death Benefit is reduced as a result of the payment of the accelerated death
benefit. We reserve the right to change the interest rate discount percentage.
[98] 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.
[99] What happens to the remaining benefits if American Skandia makes such a
payment? If we make such a payment, we first reduce the Policy's benefits and
any Debt proportionately. For example, if the Death Benefit before such a
payment is $200,000 and we make an accelerated Death Benefit payment of $50,000,
we reduce the Death Benefit by the ratio of the payment to the then current
Death Benefit, which in this case is by 25%, to $150,000. We also reduce the
Maximum Annual Assessable Premium. You should consult a tax advisor on the tax
consequences of such a payment. Please refer to Appendix F for a hypothetical
illustration of the accelerated death benefit provision.
Medically-Related Waiver
[100] What is a medically-related waiver? A medically-related waiver is a waiver
of the contingent deferred sales charge that would otherwise apply to a
surrender. A medically-related waiver also is the only context in which we
permit a partial withdrawal in the first ten Policy Years of amounts other than
Exempt Premium. No contingent deferred sales charge or partial withdrawal
transaction fee applies to such a partial withdrawal.
[101] When would American Skandia waive the contingent deferred sales charge? We
will waive the contingent deferred sales charge, where allowed by law, if you
provide us with 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, for at least a specified amount of time, and that such
confinement started after the Issue Date.
[102] Are there any restrictions on medically-related waivers? We will only
consider providing this benefit on amounts up to $500,000. The $500,000 maximum
will apply 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. However,
once we have approved a medically-related waiver, should you choose to only take
a partial withdrawal, the waiver will apply to any subsequent withdrawals or
surrender, subject to the $500,000 cumulative limit.
[103] What happens to the remaining benefits if American Skandia makes such a
payment in connection with a partial withdrawal? A partial withdrawal during the
first ten Policy Years for which we grant a medically-related waiver has the
same impact on the remaining benefits that results from any other partial
withdrawal.
Risks
[104] What are the risks, and who takes the risks? We bear the risk that, for
all the Policies we issue, when considered together, our expenses exceed our
charges, including the expense of providing 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 of having to waive monthly
charges we would otherwise deduct under the guaranteed continuation provision.
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. You bear a liquidity risk because you may not
make partial withdrawals except under limited circumstances and in limited
amounts during the first ten (10) Policy Years, although amounts are available
as loans. Any irrevocable beneficiary bears the risk as to the Death Proceeds,
which may be affected by investment performance of the investment options, the
age at which the Insured dies (if at such time the amount paid is based on the
Minimum Required Death Benefit), any loan or withdrawal activity by the Owner
prior to the Insured's death or payment of an accelerated death benefit.
Other Rights
[105] Do I have any other rights if I buy a Policy? There are certain other
ownership rights you may exercise under a Policy. You may name one or more
Beneficiaries. 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. However, all
Beneficiary designations are subject to our acceptance, to the extent permitted
by law. You also 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 we permit it to be held in
connection with certain retirement plans designed to be "qualified" plans under
the Code.
The Separate Account
[106] 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 reserves
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 U.S. 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
[107] 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 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.
[108] Will my Beneficiary pay taxes on the Death Proceeds? Under most
circumstances, the Beneficiary does not pay any income tax on the Death
Proceeds.
[109] Is gain in the Policy taxed every year? Generally, any gain in the Policy
is not taxed currently. However, the treatment of gain when a MEC is assigned is
discussed below.
[110] How are amounts that I receive before the Insured's death taxed? If your
Policy is not being treated as a MEC, amounts you receive as a partial
withdrawal or if you surrender the Policy are deemed for income tax purposes to
come first from your basis in the Policy. That means you may withdraw your basis
before you are considered to have withdrawn any gain. Any gain withdrawn is
taxed as ordinary income. Under most circumstances, taking a loan does not
result in any income tax consequences.
[111] Under what circumstances might the Policy or any amounts taken out be
treated differently for income tax purposes? The tax treatment of any life
insurance policy and any distribution while the Insured is alive will be
different if the policy is deemed: (1) not to qualify as life insurance under
the Code; or (2) to be a MEC. The Code defines life insurance in such a way as
to limit the amount of money that can be put into a life insurance policy and
receive the tax preferences provided for life insurance. We expect to administer
the Policies such that the death benefits will always receive the treatment
accorded life insurance death benefits under the Code. However, the Code has a
second, more restrictive limit as to how much money may be contributed if the
taxpayer is to receive all the tax benefits for life insurance policies under
the Code, such as tax-free loans and "first-in/first-out" treatment of
distributions. If the amount contributed violates this second, more restrictive
limit, the Policy will be treated as a MEC and will not receive many of the tax
preferences of life insurance policies. This second limit, sometimes known as
the "7-pay test", is defined as paying more during the first seven years of a
policy than the amount that would be paid if the policy provided for paid up
benefits after seven level annual premiums. Any changes to a Policy which is
considered, for tax purposes, to be a "material" change, including, but not
limited to, a change in the Specified Amount, require us to test the Policy
again for compliance with the 7-pay test based on the changes to the Policy.
[112] How is a "MEC" treated differently from other life insurance policies?
Some of the key ways in which a MEC is treated differently from other life
insurance policies are: (a) amounts you receive as a partial withdrawal, loan,
or if you surrender the Policy are deemed for income tax purposes to come first
from any gain in the tax year received ("last in/first out" treatment); (b)
distributions of gain before the taxpayer's age 59 1/2 are subject to a 10%
penalty unless an exception applies; and (c) assignments or pledges as
collateral for a loan are deemed a distribution. Gain subsequent to an
assignment or pledge may be treated as if it is distributed each year. However,
death benefits paid from a MEC are treated the same as from other life insurance
policies.

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 recording 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(s) is/are the Owner(s) unless you tell us otherwise. If
you name more than one Owner, all rights reserved to Owners are then held as
joint tenants with rights of survivorship unless you provide alternative
instructions. 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 (accrued) by the Portfolio; 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 of the underlying Portfolio at
the end of the preceding Valuation Period plus the per share
amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution declared and
unpaid (accrued) by the Portfolio; 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. 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 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 offer 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. We do not charge you for the administrative support
we provide to these third parties.
Limitations on Transfers
We retain the right to refuse 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. Under such
a circumstance, we will process transfers according to our rules then in effect
and provide notice if your transfer request was denied. If a transfer request is
denied, a new transfer request may be required.
Death During the Grace Period
We deduct the unpaid charges from the Death Benefit when calculating the Death
Proceeds if the Insured dies during a grace period.
Reinstatement
You may apply for reinstatement of the Policy if it lapses. We must receive this
application In Writing at our Office within 5 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
We currently do not require that the Cash Value of the Policy be paid out as of
any "maturity date". There is an assumed maturity date for purposes of
compliance with various state insurance requirements and for purposes of meeting
certain tests under the Code. Should we come to believe that the Cash Value must
be paid out as of the assumed maturity date in order to comply with state or
Federal requirements, then a Policy will mature as of the Policy Anniversary on
which the Insured is Age 100. If there are two Insureds, a Policy "matures" as
of the Policy Anniversary on which the younger Insured is Age 100 or would have
been Age 100 if the younger Insured is then deceased. If we must implement a
maturity date, 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. Certain rights and benefits under the Policy may be restricted after Age
100.
Pricing Transactions
We "price" charges, transfers, distributions and payments on the date 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) "Scheduled" transactions such as monthly deductions, transfers and
distributions are "priced" according to the Unit Price next computed
after the date such transactions scheduled to occur. 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 next
Valuation Day following 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. However, we price scheduled
periodic payments which you authorize to be transferred from an account
at another financial institution for additional Premiums or loan
repayments as "unscheduled" transactions, because we cannot control the
administrative processing of the other financial institution.
(2) "Unscheduled" transactions such as transfers, loans or partial
withdrawals that are not subject to any medical waiver are "priced"
according to the Unit Price next computed after we receive the request
for such transactions at our Office. "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 sent to us as of the date
we receive such amounts at our Office. These include additional
Premiums, loan repayments, and 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, depending in part on whether your Policy is treated as a MEC. 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 and subject to your consent, 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 10 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 10 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 Policy 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.
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. However, we will charge the premium tax and DAC tax on
the amount of this "inherited" loan as if it was received as Premium. For
purposes of determining the Assessable Premium, the amount of the inherited loan
will not be treated as commissionable Premium.
The amount of this inherited loan in your Policy when established will be equal
to the loan that was in effect before you surrendered your prior policy. As of
the Policy Date, your Account Value will reflect any transferred "Premium" plus
the amount of the inherited loan. That portion of your Account Value equal to
the inherited loan amount will be allocated to the Loan Account as collateral
for the loan. By reflecting the inherited loan amount in the Account Value, the
sum of the Specified Amount and the Account Value initially will be more under
Option B than it would be without the loan. Also, there will be a corresponding
increase in the Minimum 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. All charges that
are calculated as a percentage of your Account Value will increase because the
Account Value will reflect the amount of the loan allocated to the Loan Account.
Withdrawals of amounts to pay loans transferred to an Exchange Policy from any
prior policy may have adverse taxable consequences. You should consult your tax
advisor before purchasing an Exchange Policy with the intention to make such a
withdrawal or before requesting such a withdrawal.
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 also may 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.
We are taxed as a life insurance company under Part I, subchapter L, of the
Code.
Under most circumstances, the Beneficiary does not pay any Federal income tax on
the Death Proceeds.
Under most circumstances: (a) any gain in the Policy is not taxed currently; and
(b) any amounts you receive as a partial withdrawal or if you surrender the
Policy are deemed for income tax purposes to come first from your basis in the
Policy, with any gain withdrawn taxed as ordinary income; and (c) if you assign
or pledge any portion of the Policy, the transaction is not treated as a
distribution subject to taxation.
The tax treatment of the Policy and any distribution while the Insured is alive
will be different if the Policy is deemed to be a MEC. Some of the key ways in
which a MEC is treated differently from other life insurance Policies are: (a)
amounts your receive as a partial withdrawal, loan, or if you surrender the
Policy are deemed for income tax purposes to come first from any gain in the tax
year received; (b) distributions of gain before the taxpayer's age 59 1/2 are
subject to a 10% penalty unless an exception applies; and (c) assignments or
pledges as collateral for a loan are deemed a taxable distribution to the extent
of any gain.
Exchanges: Section 1035 of the Code permits certain income 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; (b) the need for the owner(s) to be the same before and
after the exchange; and (c) 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.
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 treated as a direct skip
any amount of tax we are required to pay. You should consult with competent tax
counsel for more information on generation skipping transfers.
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 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
include 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.
Continuing the Policy Beyond the Implied Maturity Date: We believe that a Policy
will continue to be treated as life insurance and, if applicable, as a MEC, if
it remains in force beyond the Policy's assumed maturity date. 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 such date, 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 would 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.
Other 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.
William H. Strong, Vice President, FSA, MAAA, 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 was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Delaware on September 8, 1987. 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 [ ]% 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 on-going sales compensation and the on-going service fees 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 the deductions for taxes, the cost of insurance charges or the
contingent deferred sales charge. 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.
Certain of the Portfolios existed prior to the inception of the Sub-accounts
available under the Policy. 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 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 amount and timing of Premium
payments, the Specified Amount, the Death Benefit option and the Policy Date;
and (c) assumptions about a lack of transfers, loans, loan repayments and
withdrawals as well as no changes to the Specified Amount and Death Benefit
option 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
In Appendix A we provide examples of the kind of hypothetical 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 G, we provide hypothetical illustrations of how
exercise of the accelerated death benefit provision affects the values of a
Policy.

Appendix A
Hypothetical Illustrations of Death Benefits, Account Values and Cash Values
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 personal characteristics of the Insured(s) 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 Specified Amount you seek; (e) which
Death Benefit option (A or B) is to apply; and (f) the amount and timing of
Premiums you intend to pay. 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 personalized
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 may not provide personalized hypothetical
illustrations that assume future loans, withdrawals, loan repayments, Premium
payments on other than the Policy Date and Policy Anniversaries, changes after
the Policy Date in the Death Benefit option on in the Specified Amount 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. Hypothetical
illustrations are shown for both Death Benefit options. 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 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 gross rates
of return equals a hypothetical average 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 current cost of
insurance charges that differ by gender, risk class and
attained age. It is assumed that there are no transfer fees
applicable. The hypothetical illustrations are presented based
on both the current and guaranteed cost of insurance charges.
5 Premium taxes are assessed at the rate of 2.5%
6. 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.
7. The Age(s) and, where applicable, gender of the Insured(s)
shown in each illustration.
8. The Insured(s) is/are eligible for the no tobacco use risk
class.
9. The Premium payments and Specified Amount are as shown in each
illustration. It is assumed that Premium payments are
allocated on the first day of the Policy Year shown.
10. Neither the Death Benefit Option nor the Specified Amount is
changed after the Policy Date.
{The following page shows the form of the illustrations to be provided upon
amendment. A number of illustrations using the two different death benefit
options, different ages, risk classes, etc. will be filed by amendment.}

THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ARE FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR
FUTURE INVESTMENT RESULTS. ACTUAL INVESTMENT RESULTS WILL DEPEND ON INVESTMENT
ALLOCATIONS MADE BY THE POLICY OWNER AND MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
THE DEATH BENEFIT, ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT
FROM THOSE SHOWN IF ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO THE POLICY FLUCTUATED
ABOVE OR BELOW THE AVERAGE AMOUNT DURING A PERIOD OF POLICY YEARS. THE DEATH
BENEFIT, ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE FOR A POLICY WOULD ALSO VARY DEPENDING ON
THE TIMING AND AMOUNT OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS, THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS MADE TO
THE SUB-ACCOUNTS AND THE RATES OF RETURN OF THE SUB-ACCOUNTS. NO REPRESENTATION
CAN BE MADE THAT THIS HYPOTHETICAL RATE OF RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE
YEAR OR SUSTAINED OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

</TABLE>
The Minimum Required Death Benefit is determined by treating the Account Value
as if it were a net single premium. We determine the Minimum Required Death
Benefit by multiplying 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 a standard insurance industry method to derive the applicable rate for both
Insureds.

</TABLE>
The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge depends on the risk class of the
Insured(s). We base the guaranteed maximum charges on the sex distinct 1980
Commissioners Standard Ordinary Ultimate Mortality Smoker/Non-Smoker Table, age
last birthday unless unisex charges apply. If unisex charges apply, a unisex
variation of that table is used. The amounts shown are per $1,000 of Net Amount
at Risk.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We derive the cost of insurance charges for joint life cases using a standard
insurance industry method based on the applicable cost of insurance charge for
both Insureds. Guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charges for specific
proposed joint Insureds are available upon request.

THE AMOUNTS SHOWN ABOVE ARE CURRENT RATES PER $1,000 OF NET AMOUNT AT RISK AS OF
THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS. TO DETERMINE THE CURRENT MONTHLY COST OF INSURANCE
CHARGE WE MULTIPLY THESE RATES BY THE NET AMOUNT AT RISK. TO THAT PRODUCT, WE
ADD THE CURRENT COST OF INSURANCE FEE. THE AMOUNTS SHOWN ABOVE ARE CURRENT RATES

Appendix F
Description of the Calculation of Current Monthly Cost of Insurance Charges
We determine the current monthly cost of insurance rate, the currently monthly
cost of insurance fee and any underwriting factor as follows:
1. Current monthly cost of insurance rate: The rate depends on a number
of factors, as follows.
a. For Policies with One Insured: The rates depend on the risk class
of the Insured(s), the Age and, where permissible, gender of the Insured.
b. For Policies with Two Insureds: The rates depend on the age of the
younger insured, and on the number of smokers insured (0,1 or 2).
2. Current monthly cost of insurance fee: The cost of insurance fee is
calculated using a "constant" of $12.00.
3. Underwriting factor: We reserve the right to multiply the current
cost of insurance rate by an underwriting factor. The underwriting factor for
Policies that are fully underwritten would be one, which results in no change to
the rate.
The following is an example of how we calculate the monthly cost of insurance
deduction. Assume for this example that: (1) the Policy is issued using Option A
with a Specified Amount of $80,000; (2) on the applicable Monthly Processing
Day, the Death Benefit equals the Specified Amount; (3) the then current Account
Value is $10,000; (4) there is one male Insured, who is currently Age 55; and
(5) the Policy is issued in the no tobacco use risk class in a situation where
gender can be used in determining cost of insurance charges.
(a) We look up the current monthly cost of insurance rate for the
Insured. As of the date of this Prospectus, the current monthly cost of
insurance rate for a 55 year old male nonsmoker Insured is $.23172 per thousand
of Net Amount at Risk.
(b) If applicable, we multiply the rate shown in (a) times the
applicable current underwriting factor.
(c) We multiply (a), or, if applicable, the result of (b), times the
Net Amount at Risk*. The result is 16.16.
(d) We add the current "constant" of $12.00 to (c), resulting in
$28.16.
(e) We look up the contractually guaranteed maximum monthly cost of
insurance charge for the Insured. In this case, we look up the charge for a 55
year old male in the no tobacco use class. That charge is .68759 per $1,000 Net
Amount at Risk.
(f) We multiply the rate shown in (e) times the Net Amount at Risk*.
The result is 47.95.
(g) We compare the result in (d) and (f). The lower of the two amounts
is the current monthly cost of insurance for the Insured. In this example, the
current cost of insurance is, therefore, $28.16.
* We determine the Net Amount at Risk by subtracting the Account Value from the
Death Benefit discounted to the beginning of the Policy Month at the rate of 4%
per year. In this example, the Amount at Risk is $69,739.

Hypothetical 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. Premiums of $5,000 per year were paid as of the first day of each
Policy Year, and the premium tax charged on each Premium was 1.75%. DAC tax also
was charged in relation to each Premium.
2. Each Policy was issued on the No Tobacco Use class, cost of
insurance rates differ by gender and there is no change to the current cost of
insurance rates during the period covered by the example.
3. The Death Benefit option in effect throughout the life of the Policy
is Option A.
4. The Specified Amount is $100,000 and has remained constant since the
Policy Date.
5. The provision is exercised as of the day preceding the 10th Policy
Anniversary.
6. The investment options in which Account Value was allocated have
grown on a constant basis since the Policy Date at an annualized rate of 8% per
year.
7. There have been no loans or loan repayments and no amounts have been
withdrawn.
8. 50% of the maximum available amount is taken pursuant to the
accelerated death benefit provision.
9. The 12-month interest rate discount used in the calculation of the
benefit assumes interest at 6% per year, compounded yearly.

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.

partial withdrawals.
c) After the first Policy Anniversary but before the Target Date shown in the

partial withdrawals since the Target Date.
Changes after Issue: After the first Policy Year, and while the Insured is
alive, you may request In Writing a change, subject to our approval, in the
Death Benefit option and/or Specified Amount. The effective date of any change
in the Death Benefit option and/or Specified Amount is the Monthly Processing
Date coinciding with or next following the date we approve your request In
Writing. Any change in the Death Benefit option and/or Specified Amount is
subject to the following conditions:
a) A change in Death Benefit option or an increase in Specified Amount is
subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and is not
allowed if the Insured does not meet our then current underwriting
rules or such a change is not permitted pursuant to any applicable law
or regulation.
b) If the Death Benefit option is changed, the Specified Amount will be
recalculated, if necessary, so that the Death Benefit immediately after
the change equals the Death Benefit immediately before the change.
c) One change in Death Benefit option is allowed each Policy Year.
d) We will not approve a request to reduce the Specified Amount during the
first seven Policy Years or thereafter within five years of an increase
to the Specified Amount.
e) The minimum amount by which you may change the Specified Amount is
shown in the Schedule. f) A change in Specified Amount or Death
Benefit option is not allowed if it reduces the Specified Amount below
the minimum Specified Amount shown in the Schedule. g) On any change
in Specified Amount, including one resulting from a Death Benefit
option change, the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium will be increased
or decreased by the same percentage as the Specified Amount. This
change in the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium may affect the
calculation of future contingent deferred sales charges
Death Proceeds: The Death Proceeds become payable to the Beneficiary as of our
receipt, at our Office, of all of the following: (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 as of the date we receive all items listed above;
plus
b) any Death Benefit provided by 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 applied under one of the payment
options described in this Policy. They may also be applied under any other
payment option selected by the Beneficiary and agreed to 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 any 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.
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-12
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT
General: The accelerated Death Benefit is pre-payment to you, not to the Insured
or to a Beneficiary, of a portion of the Death Proceeds. Only one such payment
is permitted. Payment may be made as described in the Payment Options section of
this Policy.
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 maximum amount payable before any reductions is the lesser
of $250,000 and 50% of the Death Benefit as of the Valuation Date we approve
such payment. The actual amount payable will be reduced by the following:
a) 12 months of interest on that amount. The applicable interest rate equals
the loan interest rate shown in the Schedule; and
b) A pro-rata portion of any outstanding Debt, based on the ratio by which the
Death Benefit is 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
became terminally ill as a result of an accident that occurred after the
Issue Date. d) We receive all information required to meet our obligations
for tax or other regulatory reporting.
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. 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 Specified Amount, Account Value,
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, Minimum Required Death Benefit, and any Debt
in the same ratio as the Death Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Period
such a payment is made.
Please consult your tax advisor regarding any tax issues with respect to
exercising any provisions under this Policy. This is not a Long Term Care
policy.

FPVLI(8/98)-13
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 forth in the Allocation Rules
section of this Policy. You may transfer Account Value between investment
options, subject to the requirements set forth 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.
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 will mean the Separate Account to which the assets were
transferred.
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-14
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
contingent deferred sales charge; (5) any fee for any partial withdrawal; (6)
any transfer fee; and (7) any charge for optional benefits.
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 as of each
Monthly Processing Date. It is deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable
investment options and any Fixed Allocations. It is determined by applying a
monthly cost of insurance rate to the Net Amount at Risk as of the Monthly
Processing Date and adding a cost of insurance fee. The monthly cost of
insurance rate depends on the Age, gender and risk class of the Insured as show
in the Schedule and on the Insured's underwriting method. Subject to any
requirement for prior approval of the applicable jurisdiction, we have the right
to change the current cost of insurance rates. However, the cost of insurance
will not exceed the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance charge, shown in the
Schedule, multiplied by the Net Amount at Risk.
Any change in the cost of insurance rates or cost of insurance fee will be based
on changes in our future expectations as to mortality, expenses, persistency,
investment earnings and any taxes. Changes in cost of insurance rates or fee
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. Any
change will apply uniformly to all members of the same class.
Sales Charge: The sales 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 equivalent annual percentage and the period during which
the sales charge applies are shown in the Schedule.
Tax Charge: The tax charge is deducted from each Premium paid. The percentage
rate applicable as of the Policy Date is shown in the Schedule. We also assess
the charge as a percentage of the amount of any loans established as the result
of an exchange. The charge is deducted from that Premium amount received as the
proceeds of such exchange.
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-15
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge: The contingent deferred sales charge may be
deducted from amounts receivable upon surrender or partial withdrawal. It is a
percentage of Tier 1 Premiums paid prior to surrender. The applicable percentage
varies by Policy Year, as shown in the Schedule. No contingent deferred sales
charge is applied to any Tier 2 Premiums.
Partial Withdrawal Fee: We charge a fee to process a partial withdrawal. The fee
is deducted from the fixed and variable allocations in the same proportions as
the partial withdrawal, and is shown in the Schedule. This fee applies to all
partial withdrawals.
Transfer Fee: The transfer fee may be deducted at the time of a 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 maximum amount of this charge and the circumstances under which 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: The amount of Initial Premium is shown in the Schedule. Additional
Premiums may be paid while this Policy is in force and before the Insured
attains the Premium Cut-off Age, subject to the limitations described below.
Allocation of Premium, after reduction for any applicable charges shown in the
Schedule, is subject to our allocation rules (see "Allocation Rules").
Additional Premiums: Any Premium payment that would increase the Net Amount at
Risk under this Policy is subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to
us, unless all of the following conditions are met:
1) The Policy is within the Tier 1 Premium Guaranteed Acceptance Period shown in
the Schedule; 2) No Tier 2 Premium has been paid; and, 3) No portion of such
Premium payment would be classified as Tier 2 Premium.
We reserve the right to reject any portion of a Premium payment that would
change the tax status of this Policy under the Code, without your specific
acknowledgement and authorization in Writing.
Tier 1 and Tier 2 Premiums: Tier 1 Premiums are used to calculate the amount of
contingent deferred sales charge that applies on surrender of this Policy. Tier
1 Premiums are subject to a cumulative limit that varies by Policy Year. The
limit is equal to (1) multiplied by (2), where:
(1) Is the Maximum Annual Tier 1 Premium shown in the Schedule, and; (2) Is the
Policy Year of the payment.
The Tier 1 portion of any Premium payment is that portion, if any, which will
not cause total Tier 1 Premiums to exceed this limit. The Tier 2 portion of any
Premium payment is any balance of the payment.

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 Initial
Premium you designated to be allocated to variable investment options will be
allocated to the Automatic Sub-account, after deduction of any applicable tax
charge. 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 reallocation will occur 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, after deduction of any applicable tax charge, 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." If there are multiple Fixed Allocations as of the applicable Monthly
Processing Date, amounts deducted from the investment options 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 contingent deferred sales 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 by 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 allocations 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.
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-17
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 at the end
of the current Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any
dividend or capital gain distribution declared and unpaid
(accrued) by the Portfolio; 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 per share of the Portfolio shares at the end
of the preceding Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any
dividend or capital gain distribution declared and unpaid
(accrued) by the Portfolio; 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 a single
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 in the Loan Account due to loan repayments or any other
reason; plus
(c) Interest credited to the Loan Account.
Interest is credited daily to the Account Value in the Loan Account after any
deductions and after any transfers as of that day. The Policy Loan Interest Rate
is shown in the Schedule.
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-18
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 different 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.
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 the annual interest rate shown in the Schedule.
Monthly Deduction: Account Value is reduced by monthly deductions. On each
Monthly Processing Date, until the Insured attains the Premium Cut-off Age, 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) any applicable sales charge;
(c) any applicable charge for benefits provided by rider.
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 shown in
the Schedule. Eligibility for the Cash Value Credit at one Policy Anniversary
does not mean you will qualify 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 are 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 shown in the Schedule. No transfers are permitted during the grace
period.
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
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
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-19
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.
We allow at least twelve transfers in each Policy Year. 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 while
the Insured is alive. You must send your Policy and surrender request In Writing
to our Office.
Partial Withdrawals: You may withdraw an amount equal to Tier 2 Premiums paid,
reduced by any Tier 2 Premiums previously withdrawn, after the Right to Cancel
period has expired. You may withdraw other Policy values at any time the
contingent deferred sales charge is zero. The minimum partial withdrawal amount
is shown in the Schedule. The Cash Value that must remain in the Policy as of
the Valuation Day of a partial withdrawal is also 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. We
charge a fee, shown in the Schedule, to process any partial withdrawal.
Effect of a Partial Withdrawal: Each partial withdrawal reduces the Account
Value, Cash Value and Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit by the amount of
withdrawal plus the amount of the fee. As a result, the Minimum Required Death
Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Day of the partial withdrawal. If the
Death Benefit option is the level Death Benefit option, the Specified Amount is
reduced by the lesser of:
1. The amount of the partial withdrawal, including the amount of the transaction
fee; and, 2. The amount such that the Specified Amount equals the higher of the
recalculated Minimum Required Death
Benefit and the recalculated Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit.
An amount taken as a partial withdrawal cannot be repaid.
POLICY LOANS
General: You may borrow against your Policy. The Policy is the only collateral
we require for the loan. If you request a loan equal to the amount of loan in
effect under any policy exchanged for this Policy, such a loan takes effect as
of the Issue Date or, if later, the date we apply the surrender proceeds of such
exchanged policy as Premium. A loan may be taken, or an existing loan repaid, at
any time while the Insured is alive and this Policy is in force, except during
the period in which you have the Right to Cancel. The Debt resulting from a loan
affects the Death Proceeds, Cash Value and the maximum amount of accelerated
Death Benefit.
Maximum Loan Value: The maximum loan value is the maximum amount of Account
Value you may borrow. It is equal to the Account Value less the contingent
deferred sales 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 Debt 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.
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-20
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.
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. If the Policy is reinstated, then
payment of Debt is required.
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 reduction in the Loan Account 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.
GUARANTEED CONTINUATION PROVISION
If the Cash Value on any Monthly Processing Date is less than the charges then
due, we will pay the net amount due, and this Policy will continue in force
through the tenth Policy Anniversary, provided that:
(a) this Policy has not reached its tenth Policy Anniversary; and,
(b) there is no Debt; and,
(c) total Premiums paid equal or exceed one-half the total Tier 1 Premiums
that could have been paid, pro-rated for the number of completed months
elapsed since the Policy Date.
GRACE PERIOD AND REINSTATEMENT
Grace Period: If the Guaranteed Continuation Provision is not in effect, we will
keep this Policy in force during a 61 day grace period that begins on the
Monthly Processing Date on which it is determined that the Cash Value is
insufficient to pay charges then due.
We will send you and any assignee of record a notice 61 days prior to lapse
indicating a recommended payment required to keep the Policy from lapsing. The
recommended payment equals the amount of any Debt plus an amount equal to three
months' charges based on: (a) the Net Amount at Risk as of the beginning of the
grace period; and (b) the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate as shown in
the Schedule for the Policy Year at the beginning of the grace period. The
Policy will remain in force during the grace period, and will lapse without
value at the end of the 61st day if the Cash Value is insufficient to pay
charges then due.
The Death Benefit payable during the grace period will equal the Death Benefit
in effect immediately prior to such grace period minus the lesser of three
months charges, as detailed above, and the charges due for the period between
the beginning of the grace period and the date we receive due proof of death.
Reinstatement: If the Policy lapses, we may reinstate the Policy at any time
within a five-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 Debt at the beginning of the grace
period preceding lapse plus an amount equal to three months' charges,
based on: (i) the Net Amount at Risk as of the
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-21
beginning of the grace period preceding lapse; and (ii) the guaranteed
monthly cost of insurance rate per thousand as shown in the Schedule
for the Policy Year as of the date of reinstatement.
After any reinstatement, the period during which certain charges apply may be
extended. If the lapse occurred while the sales charge or contingent deferred
sales charge was in effect, or while charges for certain optional benefits were
in effect, application of these charges under the reinstated policy may be
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 constitutes 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 or
gender of the Insured, we will recalculate all Policy values, including the
Death Benefit, based on the correct age and gender. 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.
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-22
Incontestability: This Policy will be incontestable after it has been in force
during the Insured's lifetime for two years, or less if required by law, from
its Issue Date. Any increase in coverage under this Policy will be incontestable
after a period of two years, or less if required by law, from the effective date
of such increase. If the Policy is reinstated, the Policy will be incontestable
after it has been in force for a period of two years, or less if required by
law, 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 less
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 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 that is not distributed form
a variable investment option 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 a
Fixed Allocation or any payment under a fixed settlement option for more than
thirty days, or less where required by law, we will credit interest of at least
3% per year, or the rate required by law, to 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 which may make 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.
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-23
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.
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.
POLICY PAYMENT OPTIONS
Payment Options: Partial withdrawals, surrender amounts, Death Proceeds and any
accelerated Death Benefit payment 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.
<PAGE>
FPVLI(8/98)-24
(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 periodic payment amount is determined by multiplying the amount applied to
purchase payment options (expressed in thousands of dollars) by the amount of
the 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 and gender 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.
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
gender, 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 gender, 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
gender-neutral rates if necessary to meet state or Federal requirements.
The payee's settlement age is the payee's age, on the date of the first payment,
minus an 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.

ENDORSEMENT
MEDICALLY-RELATED WAIVER BENEFIT
This Endorsement is made part of the Policy to which it is attached. It is
effective on the date such Policy is effective.
General: You may request a medically-related waiver of the contingent deferred
sales charge and the contingent deferred tax charge that would otherwise apply
to a partial withdrawal or surrender. Eligibility for this waiver depends on the
health of an Insured and on the conditions and requirements provided below. We
delay processing any partial withdrawal or surrender for which you have
requested a medically-related waiver until we receive all our requirements for
the medically-related waiver or until we determine that the transaction is not
eligible for such waiver. A partial withdrawal to which a medically-related
surrender applies results in the same consequences with respect to the benefits
and charges of this Policy as a partial withdrawal that is not eligible for such
waiver.
Maximum Benefit: This waiver is subject to a maximum. The maximum amount is
based on all insurance policies and annuities with us for which a named Insured
for this Policy is named as an insured or annuitant. The maximum amount on which
we will waive charges due on a partial withdrawal or surrender is a combined
$500,000 from all such insurance policies and annuities, whether taken
simultaneously or sequentially.
Requirements of the Medically-Related Waiver Benefit: The requirements for the
medically-related waiver benefit are:
(a) You must make the request for the medically related waiver.
(b) Such a request must be In Writing.
(c) We receive In Writing proof satisfactory to us that an Insured
was first confined to a "Medical Care Facility", as defined below,
while this Policy is in force and remains confined for at least 90
consecutive days after the Issue Date.
"Medical Care Facility", for purposes of this provision, means a facility
operated pursuant to law or any state licensed facility providing medical
necessary in-patient care which is: (a) prescribed by a licensed Physician In
Writing; and (b) is based on physical limitations which prohibit daily living in
a non-institutional setting. "Physician" means a person other than you, an
Insured or a member of either your or an Insured's family who is state licensed
to give medical care or treatment.

We pay the Death Proceeds to the Beneficiary upon receipt at our Office of due
proof of the death of the last surviving Insured while this Policy is in force
and subject to the terms and conditions on the following pages.
This Policy is issued in consideration of any Application, a copy of which may
be attached to and made a part of this Policy, and receipt at our Office of good
funds as payment of the Initial Premium. This Policy is subject to the laws of
the jurisdiction where it is delivered.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may return this Policy to our Office or to the representative who solicited
its purchase within ten days after you receive it for a refund. The amount of
the refund will be the greater of (a) and (b), less any Debt, where: (a) is the
Premium paid; and (b) is the Account Value as of the date we receive the
cancellation request In Writing plus any charges and fees deducted from the
Account Value.
Any portion of the Initial Premium you choose to allocate to the variable
investment options is first allocated to the Automatic Sub-account shown in the
Schedule after deduction of any applicable tax charge. As of the Reallocation
Date shown in the Schedule, we reallocate such Account Value to the Sub-accounts
you select in the proportions you indicate in your most recent allocation
instructions to us. Should you notify us that you intend to cancel this Policy
prior to the Reallocation Date, any amount then maintained in the Automatic
Sub-account will remain in that Sub-account until cancellation of this Policy.
Any portion of Premium you choose to allocate directly to the Fixed Allocation,
after deduction of any applicable tax charge, will be allocated as of the Issue
Date and will not be allocated to the Automatic Sub-account.

or such a change is not permitted pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation. No increase in the Specified Amount nor any change
resulting in an increase to the Net Amount at Risk is permitted after
an Insured has died.
b) If the Death Benefit option is changed, the Specified Amount will be

Benefit option change, the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium will be
increased or decreased by the same percentage as the Specified Amount.
This change in the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium may affect the

Death Proceeds: The Death Proceeds become payable to the Beneficiary as of our
receipt, at our Office, of all of the following: (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 to: a) the Death Benefit as of the date we
receive all items listed above; plus b) any Death Benefit provided by 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 last surviving Insured dies during any grace period;
plus, e) any interest required by law.
The Death Proceeds may be paid in a lump sum or applied under one of the payment
options described in this Policy. They may also be applied under any other
payment option selected by the Beneficiary and agreed to by us, if not elected
by you before we receive due proof of both Insureds' deaths.
Due Proof of Death: Due proof of death consists of any 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.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-12
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT
General: The accelerated Death Benefit is pre-payment to you, not to an Insured
or to a Beneficiary, of a portion of the Death Proceeds. Only one such payment
is permitted. Payment may be made as described in the Payment Options section of
this Policy.
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 maximum amount payable before any reductions is the lesser
of $250,000 and 50% of the Death Benefit as of the Valuation Date we approve
such payment. The actual amount payable will be reduced by the following: a) 12
months of interest on that amount. The applicable interest rate equals the loan
interest rate shown in the Schedule; and b) A pro-rata portion of any
outstanding Debt, based on the ratio by which the Death Benefit is 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 became terminally ill as a result of an accident that
occurred after the Issue Date. d) We receive all information required
to meet our obligations for tax or other regulatory reporting.
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. 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 Specified Amount, Account Value,
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, Minimum Required Death Benefit, and any Debt
in the same ratio as the Death Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Period
such a payment is made.
Please consult your tax advisor regarding any tax issues with respect to
exercising any provisions under this Policy. This is not a Long Term Care
policy.
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 forth in the Allocation Rules
section of this Policy. You may transfer Account Value between investment
options, subject to the requirements set forth 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.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-13
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.
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 will 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.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-14
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
contingent deferred sales charge; (5) any fee for any partial withdrawal; (6)
any transfer fee; and (7) any charge for optional benefits.
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 as of each
Monthly Processing Date. It is deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable
investment options and any Fixed Allocations. It is determined by applying a
monthly cost of insurance rate to the Net Amount at Risk as of the Monthly
Processing Date and adding a cost of insurance fee. The monthly cost of
insurance rate depends on the Ages, genders and risk classes of the Insureds as
shown in the Schedule and on the Insureds' underwriting method. Subject to any
requirement for prior approval of the applicable jurisdiction, we have the right
to change the current cost of insurance rates. However, the cost of insurance
will not exceed the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance charge, shown in the
Schedule, multiplied by the Net Amount at Risk.
Any change in the cost of insurance rates or cost of insurance fee will be based
on changes in our future expectations as to mortality, expenses, persistency,
investment earnings and any taxes. Changes in cost of insurance rates or fee
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. Any
change will apply uniformly to all members of the same class.
Sales Charge: The sales 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 equivalent annual percentage and the period during which
the sales charge applies are shown in the Schedule.
Tax Charge: The tax charge is deducted from each Premium paid. The percentage
rate applicable as of the Policy Date is shown in the Schedule. We also assess
the charge as a percentage of the amount of any loans established as the result
of an exchange. The charge is deducted from that Premium amount received as the
proceeds of such exchange.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge: The contingent deferred sales charge may be
deducted from amounts receivable upon surrender or partial withdrawal. It is a
percentage of Tier 1 Premiums paid prior to surrender. The applicable percentage
varies by Policy Year, as shown in the Schedule. No contingent deferred sales
charge is applied to any Tier 2 Premiums.
Partial Withdrawal Fee: We charge a fee to process a partial withdrawal. The fee
is deducted from the fixed and variable allocations in the same proportions as
the partial withdrawal, and is shown in the Schedule. This fee applies to all
partial withdrawals.
Transfer Fee: The transfer fee may be deducted at the time of a 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 maximum amount of this charge and the circumstances under which 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.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-15
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: The amount of Initial Premium is shown in the Schedule. Additional
Premiums may be paid while this Policy is in force and before the Premium
Cut-off Age, subject to the limitations described below. Allocation of Premium,
after reduction for any applicable charges shown in the Schedule, is subject to
our allocation rules (see "Allocation Rules").
Additional Premiums: Any Premium payment that would increase the Net Amount at
Risk under this Policy is subject to evidence of insurability satisfactory to
us, unless all of the following conditions are met:
1) The Policy is within the Tier 1 Premium Guaranteed Acceptance Period shown in
the Schedule; 2) No Tier 2 Premium has been paid; and, 3) No portion of such
Premium payment would be classified as Tier 2 Premium.
We will not accept additional Premium payment that would increase the Net Amount
at Risk under this Policy after an Insured has died.
We reserve the right to reject any portion of a Premium payment that would
change the tax status of this Policy under the Code, without your specific
acknowledgement and authorization in Writing.
Tier 1 and Tier 2 Premiums: Tier 1 Premiums are used to calculate the amount of
contingent deferred sales charge that applies on surrender of this Policy. Tier
1 Premiums are subject to a cumulative limit that varies by Policy Year. The
limit is equal to (1) multiplied by (2), where:
(1) Is the Maximum Annual Tier 1 Premium shown in the Schedule, and; (2) Is the
Policy Year of the payment.
The Tier 1 portion of any Premium payment is that portion, if any, which will
not cause total Tier 1 Premiums to exceed this limit. The Tier 2 portion of any
Premium payment is any balance of the payment.
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 Initial
Premium you designated to be allocated to variable investment options will be
allocated to the Automatic Sub-account, after deduction of any applicable tax
charge. 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 reallocation will occur 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, after deduction of any applicable tax charge, and will not be
allocated to the Automatic Sub-account.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-16
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." If there are multiple Fixed Allocations as of the applicable Monthly
Processing Date, amounts deducted from the investment options 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 contingent deferred sales 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 by 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 allocations 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 at the end
of the current Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any
dividend or capital gain distribution declared and unpaid
(accrued) by the Portfolio; 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 per share of the Portfolio shares at the end
of the preceding Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any
dividend or capital gain distribution declared and unpaid
(accrued) by the Portfolio; 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.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-17
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 a single
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 in the Loan
Account due to loan repayments or any other reason; plus (c) Interest credited
to the Loan Account.
Interest is credited daily to the Account Value in the Loan Account after any
deductions and after any transfers as of that day. The Policy Loan Interest Rate
is shown in the Schedule.
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 different 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.
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 the annual interest rate shown in the Schedule.
Monthly Deduction: Account Value is reduced by monthly deductions. On each
Monthly Processing Date, until the Premium Cut-off Age, 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) any applicable
sales charge; (c) any applicable charge for benefits provided by rider.
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 shown in
the Schedule. Eligibility for the Cash Value Credit at one Policy Anniversary
does not mean you will qualify 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.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-18
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 are 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 shown in the Schedule. No transfers are permitted during the grace
period.
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
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.
We allow at least twelve transfers in each Policy Year. 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 while an
Insured is alive. You must send your Policy and surrender request In Writing to
our Office.
Partial Withdrawals: You may withdraw an amount equal to Tier 2 Premiums paid,
reduced by any Tier 2 Premiums previously withdrawn, after the Right to Cancel
period has expired. You may withdraw other Policy values at any time the
contingent deferred sales charge is zero. The minimum partial withdrawal amount
is shown in the Schedule. The Cash Value that must remain in the Policy as of
the Valuation Day of a partial withdrawal is also 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. We
charge a fee, shown in the Schedule, to process any partial withdrawal.
Effect of a Partial Withdrawal: Each partial withdrawal reduces the Account
Value, Cash Value and Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit by the amount of
withdrawal plus the amount of the fee. As a result, the Minimum Required Death
Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Day of the partial withdrawal. If the
Death Benefit option is the level Death Benefit option, the Specified Amount is
reduced by the lesser of:
1. The amount of the partial withdrawal, including the amount of the transaction
fee; and,
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-19
2. The amount such that the Specified Amount equals the higher of the
recalculated Minimum Required Death Benefit and the recalculated Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit.
An amount taken as a partial withdrawal cannot be repaid.
POLICY LOANS
General: You may borrow against your Policy. The Policy is the only collateral
we require for the loan. If you request a loan equal to the amount of loan in
effect under any policy exchanged for this Policy, such a loan takes effect as
of the Issue Date or, if later, the date we apply the surrender proceeds of such
exchanged policy as Premium. A loan may be taken, or an existing loan repaid, at
any time while an Insured is alive and this Policy is in force, except during
the period in which you have the Right to Cancel. The Debt resulting from a loan
affects the Death Proceeds, Cash Value and the maximum amount of accelerated
Death Benefit.
Maximum Loan Value: The maximum loan value is the maximum amount of Account
Value you may borrow. It is equal to the Account Value less the contingent
deferred sales 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 Debt 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.
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. If the Policy is reinstated, then
payment of Debt is required.
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 reduction in the Loan Account 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.
GUARANTEED CONTINUATION PROVISION
If the Cash Value on any Monthly Processing Date is less than the charges then
due, we will pay the net amount due, and this Policy will continue in force
through the tenth Policy Anniversary, provided that:
(a) this Policy has not reached its tenth Policy Anniversary; and,
(b) there is no Debt; and,
(c) total Premiums paid equal or exceed one-half the total Tier 1 Premiums that
could have been paid, pro-rated for the number of completed months elapsed
since the Policy Date.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-20
GRACE PERIOD AND REINSTATEMENT
Grace Period: If the Guaranteed Continuation Provision is not in effect, we will
keep this Policy in force during a 61 day grace period that begins on the
Monthly Processing Date on which it is determined that the Cash Value is
insufficient to pay charges then due.
We will send you and any assignee of record a notice 61 days prior to lapse
indicating a recommended payment required to keep the Policy from lapsing. The
recommended payment equals the amount of any Debt plus an amount equal to three
months' charges based on: (a) the Net Amount at Risk as of the beginning of the
grace period; and (b) the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate as shown in
the Schedule for the Policy Year at the beginning of the grace period. The
Policy will remain in force during the grace period, and will lapse without
value at the end of the 61st day if the Cash Value is insufficient to pay
charges then due.
The Death Benefit payable during the grace period will equal the Death Benefit
in effect immediately prior to such grace period minus the lesser of three
months charges, as detailed above, and the charges due for the period between
the beginning of the grace period and the date we receive due proof of death.
Reinstatement: If the Policy lapses, we may reinstate the Policy at any time
within a five-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 Debt at the beginning of the grace
period preceding lapse plus an amount equal to three months' charges,
based on: (i) the Net Amount at Risk as of the beginning of the grace
period preceding lapse; and (ii) the guaranteed monthly cost of
insurance rate per thousand as shown in the Schedule for the Policy
Year as of the date of reinstatement.
After any reinstatement, the period during which certain charges apply may be
extended. If the lapse occurred while the sales charge or contingent deferred
sales charge was in effect, or while charges for certain optional benefits were
in effect, application of these charges under the reinstated policy may be
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.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-21
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 Insured 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 constitute 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 or
gender of an Insured, we will recalculate all Policy values, including the Death
Benefit, based on the correct age and gender. 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, or less if required by
law, from its Issue Date. Any increase in coverage under this Policy will be
incontestable after a period of two years, or less if required by law, from the
effective date of such increase. If the Policy is reinstated, the Policy will be
incontestable after it has been in force for a period of two years, or less if
required by law, 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 less 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 the last surviving
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.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-22
Deferral of Transactions: We may defer any payment that is not distributed form
a variable investment option 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 a
Fixed Allocation or any payment under a fixed settlement option for more than
thirty days, or less where required by law, we will credit interest of at least
3% per year, or the rate required by law, to 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 which may make 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>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-23
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.
POLICY PAYMENT OPTIONS
Payment Options: Partial withdrawals, surrender amounts, Death Proceeds and any
accelerated Death Benefit payment 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 periodic payment amount is determined by multiplying the amount applied to
purchase payment options (expressed in thousands of dollars) by the amount of
the 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 and gender 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.
<PAGE>
SV/FPVLI(8/98)-24
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
gender, 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 gender, 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
gender-neutral rates if necessary to meet state or Federal requirements.
The payee's settlement age is the payee's age, on the date of the first payment,
minus an 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.

ENDORSEMENT
MEDICALLY-RELATED WAIVER BENEFIT
This Endorsement is made part of the Policy to which it is attached. It is
effective on the date such Policy is effective.
General: You may request a medically-related waiver of the contingent deferred
sales charge and the contingent deferred tax charge that would otherwise apply
to a partial withdrawal or surrender. Eligibility for this waiver depends on the
health of an Insured and on the conditions and requirements provided below. We
delay processing any partial withdrawal or surrender for which you have
requested a medically-related waiver until we receive all our requirements for
the medically-related waiver or until we determine that the transaction is not
eligible for such waiver. A partial withdrawal to which a medically-related
surrender applies results in the same consequences with respect to the benefits
and charges of this Policy as a partial withdrawal that is not eligible for such
waiver.
Maximum Benefit: This waiver is subject to a maximum. The maximum amount is
based on all insurance policies and annuities with us for which a named Insured
for this Policy is named as an insured or annuitant. The maximum amount on which
we will waive charges due on a partial withdrawal or surrender is a combined
$500,000 from all such insurance policies and annuities, whether taken
simultaneously or sequentially.
Requirements of the Medically-Related Waiver Benefit: The requirements for the
medically-related waiver benefit are:
(a) You must make the request for the medically related waiver.
(b) Such a request must be In Writing.
(c) We receive In Writing proof satisfactory to us that an Insured
was first confined to a "Medical Care Facility", as defined below,
while this Policy is in force and remains confined for at least 90
consecutive days after the Issue Date.
"Medical Care Facility", for purposes of this provision, means a facility
operated pursuant to law or any state licensed facility providing medical
necessary in-patient care which is: (a) prescribed by a licensed Physician In
Writing; and (b) is based on physical limitations which prohibit daily living in
a non-institutional setting. "Physician" means a person other than you, an
Insured or a member of either your or an Insured's family who is state licensed
to give medical care or treatment.
