One Corporate Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484
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. The 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.
WHAT IS AMERICAN SKANDIA OFFERING? We are offering a type of cash value life
insurance coverage called "flexible premium variable life insurance." Each of
these terms can be explained as follows:
|X| 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,
using the value of the policy as collateral.
|X| The coverage is called "flexible premium" because it offers considerable
flexibility in the timing and amount of premium payments after the initial
premium. 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 additional insurance.
|X| The coverage is "variable" because you can allocate all or part of your
premium to variable investment options that invest in an underlying mutual
fund or a portfolio of an underlying mutual fund. The variable investment
options are sub-accounts of American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation
Separate Account F ("Account F"). The following underlying mutual funds or
portfolios of the following underlying mutual funds currently are being
offered: American Skandia Trust, Montgomery Variable Series, INVESCO
Variable Investment Funds, Inc., and Evergreen Variable Annuity Trust. The
available portfolios of these underlying mutual FUNDS ARE LISTED ON PAGE
XX. 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 PERFORMANCE OF THESE INVESTMENT OPTIONS CAN DECREASE OR
INCREASE. THIS CAN IMPACT THE DEATH BENEFIT AND THE CASH VALUE OF THE
POLICY.
|X| The coverage also 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.
|X| The Policy can be structured to qualify as life insurance under either of
two (2) tests outlined in the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") - the
guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test. The test you
choose can have an impact on the amount of premium that can be applied to
the Policy and can have an impact on values under your Policy, including
the death benefit. Your financial professional can assist you in electing
the test that is best for your particular situation and goals.
|X| Depending on the timing and amount of your premium payments, the Policy may
be treated as a modified endowment contract (or MEC). We evaluate your
policy according to the "7-pay test" under the Code, which 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 MEC. As a
non-MEC, partial withdrawals or loans you take from the policy will receive
favorable tax treatment. If your policy does not pass the 7-pay test at any
time, it will be treated as a MEC and will not be entitled to some of the
beneficial tax treatment given to a non-MEC policy.
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.

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

|X| The Policy has a limited amount of liquidity during the first ten (10)
years. 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. 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. If there is more than one Insured, it is
the age of the younger Insured.
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
trigger or your Premium (net of withdrawals) exceeds a cumulative amount after
seven Policy Years.
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 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 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.
INSURED is the person(s) upon whose life coverage is issued and as a result of
whose death the Death Proceeds are payable. If there is more than one Insured,
Insured means the last surviving Insured, unless otherwise stated.
ISSUE DATE is the date we issue your Policy.
LOAN ACCOUNT is where we maintain Account Value as collateral for a loan to you
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
Policy. We do not assess any contingent deferred sales charge upon surrender
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. Whether a Policy is a "MEC" or a "non-MEC"
depends on whether the Policy satisfies the "7-pay test", a test outlined in the
Code that compares the amount of premiums paid to the amount of insurance
purchased.
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 and the Account
Value. We use a formula when calculating the Net Amount at Risk as part of
determining the monthly cost of insurance charge.
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.
OFFICE is our administrative office: American Skandia Life Assurance
Corporation, P.O. Box 290698, Wethersfield, Connecticut 06129-0698.

POLICY MONTH is the period from one Monthly Processing Day to the next.
POLICY YEARS are continuous 12-month periods that begin on the Policy Date and
each Policy Anniversary thereafter.

PREMIUM is each consideration you give to us for the rights, privileges and
benefits provided by a Policy according to its terms. This includes Premium paid
as of the Policy Date, as shown in the Policy, and any additional consideration
we choose to accept.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT is our separate account to which we allocate assets in relation
to our obligations for benefits based on the variable investment options.

as Separate Account F) is the separate account utilized for the Policy.

Sub-account; and (b) the value of transactions into or out of a Sub-account or
benefits based on Account Value in a Sub-account. Each Sub-account has its own
Unit Price, which will vary each Valuation Period to reflect the investment
experience of that Sub-account.

or any other day that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires mutual
funds or unit investment trusts to be valued.

1 American Skandia Trust (the "Trust") adopted a Distribution Plan (the
"Distribution Plan") under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
to permit an affiliate of the Trust's Investment Manager to receive
brokerage commissions in connection with purchases and sales of securities
held by Portfolios of the Trust, and to use these commissions to promote
the sale of shares of such Portfolios. The Portfolios would pay the same or
comparable commission amounts irrespective of the Distribution Plan;
accordingly, total returns for the Portfolios are not expected to be
adversely affected. The Distribution Fee estimates are derived from data
regarding each Portfolio's brokerage transactions, and the proportions of
such transactions directed to selling dealers, for the period ended
December 31, 1999. However, it is not possible to determine with accuracy
actual amounts that will be received under the Distribution Plan. Such
amounts will vary based upon the level of a Portfolio's brokerage activity,
the proportion of such activity directed under the Distribution Plan, and
other factors.
2 The Investment Manager of American Skandia Trust has agreed to reimburse
and/or waive fees for certain Portfolios until at least October 17, 2000.
The caption "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" reflects the Portfolio's
fees and expenses before such waivers and reimbursements, while the caption
"Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses" reflects the effect of such waivers
and reimbursements.
3 Prior to May 1, 1998, the Investment Manager had engaged Berger Associates,
Inc. as Sub-advisor for the Portfolio (formerly, the Berger Capital Growth
portfolio), for a total Investment Management fee payable at the annual
rate of 0.75% of the average daily nets assets of the Portfolio. As of May
1, 1998, the Investment Manager engaged Neuberger Berman Management
Incorporated as Sub-advisor for the Portfolio, for a total Investment
Management fee payable at the annual rate of 0.90% of the average daily net
assets of the Portfolio. The Management Fee in the above chart reflects the
current Investment Management fee payable to the Investment Manager.
4 Prior to May 1, 1998, the Investment Manager had engaged Federated
Investment Counseling as Sub-advisor for the Portfolio (formerly, the
Federated Utility Income portfolio), for a total Investment Management fee
payable at the annual rate of 0.75% of the first $50 million of the average
daily net assets of the Portfolio, plus .60% of the Portfolio's average
daily net assets in excess of $50 million. As of May 1, 1998, 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 paragraphs are numbered
for your convenience.
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. These policies may not be an appropriate investment if
purchased within a retirement plan qualified under the Code. You should
consult a competent tax advisor or financial professional about using these
policies in such plans.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AMERICAN SKANDIA OFFERS SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE
POLICIES WHICH YOUR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL MAY BE AUTHORIZED TO OFFER TO YOU.
EACH OF THESE POLICIES CAN BE STRUCTURED TO ADDRESS A PARTICULAR LIFE INSURANCE
NEED THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THE FEATURES, BENEFITS AND CHARGES MAY DIFFER TO SOME
DEGREE BETWEEN EACH POLICY WE OFFER. SOME OF THESE DIFFERENCES CAN AFFECT THE
AMOUNT OF YOUR DEATH BENEFIT, THE DEGREE TO WHICH YOU CAN ACCESS SOME OF THE
POLICY'S CASH VALUE THROUGH LOANS AND WITHDRAWALS AND THE CHARGES THAT YOU WILL
BE SUBJECT TO IF YOU CHOOSE TO SURRENDER THE POLICY. THE COMPENSATION THAT WE
PAY FOR SALES OF THESE POLICIES MAY ALSO DIFFER.
This Policy is available only to purchasers with Specified Amounts of $500,000
or greater. We offer a similar policy with a lower minimum Specified Amount
under a separate prospectus. The minimum initial Premium payment also differs
between both policies. The contingent deferred sales charge on this Policy has a
longer duration but the amount of the charge is lower during the initial Policy
years as compared to the other policy. The contingent deferred sales charge on
the other policy has a shorter duration but upon surrender of the Policy during
the initial Policy Years, the amount of the charge is higher. The duration and
amount of the contingent deferred sales charge has an impact on the Cash Value
of your Policy. To the extent that Policy benefits are based on the Cash Value,
in particular the availability of Policy loans, this can be an important factor
to consider.
BENEFITS AT THE INSURED'S DEATH
[2] 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. 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.
[3] WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT? The Death Benefit is the greatest of the Basic
Death Benefit, the Minimum Required Death Benefit and the Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit, each are described in more detail below. The Death
Benefit is determined as of the date we receive due proof of death.
[4] WHAT IS THE BASIC DEATH BENEFIT? DO YOU OFFER DIFFERENT DEATH BENEFIT
OPTIONS? The Basic Death Benefit depends on which of the four (4) Death
Benefit Options you select. The Death Benefit options are Option I (Level),
Option II (Variable), Option III (Return of Premium) and Option IV (Return
of Premium with Interest), as described in the table below. Your choice of
Death Benefit Option will produce a different Basic Death Benefit
calculation as of the Policy Date and in the future.
<TABLE>

date applied until the date of due proof of death. We offer a range of interest rates
for the Policy owner to choose from.
------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
* With respect to Option III and Option IV, we will only consider
Premiums paid and any annual interest accumulated on Premium (Option IV
only) on or before Age 70. Following Age 70, the Basic Death Benefit
for Options III and IV will be fixed. Total Premiums will not include
Premiums paid for any optional benefits that we may make available.
Special rules also apply for Policies that result from an exchange of
an existing life insurance policy.
[5] 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 for
your Policy. 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 under our underwriting rules. The minimum Specified Amount is
currently $500,000 for a single life Policy and $750,000 for a joint life
Policy. 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.
[6] 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 changes as the
Account Value changes. We determine the Minimum Required Death Benefit by
multiplying the Account Value by factors that vary by the attained Age,
gender (where permitted), tobacco usage class and risk class of each
Insured. The factors will also differ depending on the applicable test you
elect for your Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Code. When
there are joint Insureds, the factors used to determine the Minimum
Required Death Benefit are based on an actuarial derivation of the factor
applicable for each Insured. The gender and risk class of the Insured does
not change, so the only element that changes the factors and effects the
Minimum Required Death Benefit after the Policy Date is the aging of the
Insured, unless the Insured applies for and we agree to a change in tobacco
usage class. The factors we apply to determine the Minimum Required Death
Benefit are shown in Appendix B.
[7] WHAT IS THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT? The Guaranteed Minimum Death
Benefit is used to determine the Death Benefit when it is greater than the
Basic Death Benefit, based on the Death Benefit Option you chose, and the
Minimum Required Death Benefit, according to the applicable test you elect
for your POLICY TO QUALIFY AS LIFE INSURANCE UNDER THE CODE. 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 under the following circumstances are:
|X| ON THE POLICY DATE: the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit equals the initial
Premium. ------------------
|X| 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.
|X| 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 the total of all Premiums paid less all
partial withdrawals and the highest "Anniversary Value," which is the
Account Value on any Policy Anniversary less all subsequent partial
withdrawals.
|X| ON OR AFTER THE "TARGET DATE": the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is the
higher of the total of all Premiums paid less all partial withdrawals and
the highest Anniversary Value 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.
|X| 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.
|X| 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.
[8] IS THERE ANY AGE LIMIT ON THE DEATH BENEFIT? Yes. On a single life Policy,
on or after the Policy Anniversary the Insured attains Age 100, the Death
Benefit equals the Account Value. On a joint life Policy, on or after the
Policy Anniversary the younger Insured, attains or, if that person is
deceased, would have been, Age 100, the Death Benefit equals the Account
Value.
[9] DOES CHOOSING BETWEEN DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS AFFECT ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE
DEATH BENEFIT? Yes. Choosing a Death Benefit Option affects the Net Amount
at Risk which can have an impact on the amount you pay in cost of insurance
charges. 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.
[10] 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 Death Benefit
Option I, II, III or IV prior to issuing a Policy.
[11] 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:
|X| Any change must take effect after the first Policy Year. |X| We only
permit one such change per Policy Year. |X| We must receive the
request In Writing at our Office.
|X| We may require satisfactory evidence of insurability for any change
that prospectively increases the Net Amount at Risk or any change to
Death Benefit Option III or IV.
|X| 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.
|X| 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 Death Benefit Options 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.
|X| 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.
|X| On the date the change takes effect, there will be no change in the
Death Benefit. That means that, if you change from Option I to Option
II, 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 eight rules outlined above for changing the
Death Benefit Option, plus the following additional rules:
|X| The amount of any increase or decrease may not be less than $5,000.
|X| The Specified Amount after any decrease may not be less than the
minimum Specified Amount for your Policy.
|X| No decrease in the Specified Amount is permitted during the first
seven Policy Years or during the five calendar years subsequent to any
increase in Specified Amount.
[12] 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.
[13] HOW ARE DEATH PROCEEDS PAID AND TO WHOM ARE THEY 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 may choose the method of payment for your
Beneficiaries if you notify us In Writing before the Insured's death how
you want the Death Proceeds to be paid.
ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE
[14] WHAT IS THE ACCOUNT VALUE? The Account Value is the value of a Policy
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.
[15] HOW DO WE DETERMINE THE ACCOUNT VALUE?
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.
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[16] 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.
[17] HOW DOES AMERICAN SKANDIA DETERMINE THE ACCOUNT VALUE IN THE LOAN ACCOUNT?
We credit interest to Account Value in the Loan Account at a rate
determined by whether the loan is a "preferred" loan or a "standard" loan,
as described in the section entitled "Loans." 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 on "preferred"
loans and 5.85% per year compounded yearly on "standard" loans. However, to
the extent permitted by law, we retain the right to credit less, but never
less than 5.5% per year, compounded yearly. See the section entitled
"Loans" for a description of standard and preferred loans.
[18] WHAT IS THE CASH VALUE? The Cash Value is the total Account Value less any
contingent deferred sales charge, unpaid charges and Debt.
[19] 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 you are
eligible for the guaranteed continuation. This provision is discussed in
the section "Keeping the Policy In Force".
CASH VALUE CREDITS
[20] WHAT ARE CASH VALUE CREDITS? Cash Value Credits are amounts we credit to
your Account Value based on growth in your Policy's Cash Value OR based on
the total amount of your Premium payments. We determine if your Policy is
eligible for Cash Value Credits on each Policy Anniversary. Once your
Policy qualifies to receive Cash Value Credits, we will credit 0.50% of
your Policy's Cash Value to your Account Value on each Policy Anniversary
thereafter.
[21] HOW DOES MY POLICY QUALIFY FOR CASH VALUE CREDITS? You can qualify for Cash
Value Credits based on your Policy's Cash Value or cumulative Premiums. To
qualify for Cash Value Credits as of any Policy Anniversary:
|X| THE CASH VALUE of your Policy must equal or exceed 200% (2X) of the
Premiums you have paid as of the Policy Anniversary date you qualify;
or
|X| YOUR POLICY MUST HAVE BEEN IN FORCE FOR SEVEN (7) YEARS AND THE
CUMULATIVE PREMIUMS (minus any Debt) paid prior to the seventh Policy
Anniversary or prior to a later anniversary must equal or exceed the
sum of seven (7) Maximum Annual Assessable Premiums.
NOTE: The Cash Value may be less than the Account Value due to the
contingent deferred sales charge and any Debt, and will be affected by the
investment performance of the investment options, any partial withdrawals,
Debt and whether you pay back any loans or loan interest.
[22] 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
[23] 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 only for the first ten 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.
[24] 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. In most
jurisdictions these rates range for 0% to 3.5% of each Premium. We deduct
these charges before we allocate the net amount to the investment options.
[25] 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.
[26] 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 for Policy Years 1
through 15 and 0.25% for Policy Years 16 and thereafter. The mortality and
expense risk we assume is that charges and fees under the Policy will be
insufficient to meet our long-term costs and expenses in issuing,
administering and paying claims based on our obligations under the Policy.
The charge for the administrative expenses connected with operating the
Separate Account is 0.25% per year. The 0.25% charge for administrative
EXPENSES DOES NOT DECREASE AFTER THE 15TH Policy 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.
[27] 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.
[28] 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 Basic Death Benefit (which
depends on the Death Benefit Option you choose), the Minimum Required Death
Benefit, or the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. 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 C. The current monthly cost of insurance
rates as of the date of this Prospectus for Policies with one Insured are
shown in Appendix D. 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 E. The guaranteed maximum monthly cost of insurance
charges shown in Appendix C and the current monthly cost of insurance rates
shown in Appendix D are for Insureds in the preferred risk class. These
amounts will differ for Insureds in a substandard risk class.
[29] 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 tobacco usage class and
risk class of each Insured. We base the guaranteed maximum cost of
insurance 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. If we use unisex rates, generally cost of
insurance charges will increase for females and will decrease for males.
Charges for substandard risk classes are based on a multiple of the table
rates.
[30] WHAT MONTHLY CHARGES APPLY ONLY FOR A SPECIFIED NUMBER OF POLICY YEARS? We
deduct a sales charge for a specified number of Policy Years.
[31] 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.
[32] 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.
[33] 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 certain
periods, 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:

PERCENTAGE (%) 10 8 6 5 4 3 2 2 1 1 0
---------------------- --------- -------- -------- -------- --------- -------- -------- -------- --------- -------- -------
</TABLE>
[34] HOW DO WE DETERMINE THE ASSESSABLE PREMIUM? The Assessable Premium equals
the total Premiums less the total Exempt Premiums.
[35] WHAT ARE EXEMPT PREMIUMS? Exempt Premiums are the portion of Premiums paid
in any Policy Year that exceed the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium. We do not
charge a contingent deferred sales charge upon surrender or withdrawal of Exempt
Premiums.
[36] 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, tobacco usage class, 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. The amounts shown in Appendix G are applicable for
Insureds in the preferred risk class. The Maximum Annual Assessable Premium for
Insureds in a substandard risk class may be higher than for Insureds in a
preferred risk class.
[37] WHAT WOULD IT COST TO SURRENDER THE POLICY? In each hypothetical example we
assume that neither the Specified Amount nor the Death Benefit Option is changed
after the Policy Date.
|X| Assume that the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium is $10,000 and that
$10,000 of Premium was paid in each of Policy Years 1 through 5, for a
total of $50,000. Assume further that the Policy is being surrendered
in Policy Year 6 and that 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 3% of the Assessable Premium (3% of $50,000 or
$1,500). The amount payable upon surrender would be $75,000 less
$1,500, which equals $73,500.
|X| Assume that the Policy is an Exchange Policy and that the proceeds of
the exchange were $50,000, which was the initial Premium. Assume
further that the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium is $10,000 and that
$5,000 of subsequent Premium was paid in the second Policy Year.
Assume further that the Policy is being surrendered in Policy Year 6
and that 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, or $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. The contingent deferred
sales charge for a surrender in Policy Year 6 is 3% assessed against
$55,000 of Premium less $40,000 of Exempt Premium (3% of $15,000 or
$450). The amount payable upon surrender would be $85,000 less $450,
which is $84,550.
[38] ARE THERE ANY SITUATIONS IN WHICH THE SALES CHARGE AND THE CONTINGENT
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE DO NOT APPLY? 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.
[39] DO YOU OFFER SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR CORPORATE OR OTHER PURCHASERS? To the
extent permitted by law, for corporate or other group or sponsored
arrangements purchasing one or more Policies, we may reduce the amount of
the mortality and expense risk charge, sales charge and the contingent
deferred sales charge, the period during which such charges apply, or both,
where the expenses associated with the sale of, or the underwriting or
other administrative costs associated with the Policies are reduced. Sales,
underwriting or other administrative expenses may be reduced based on such
factors as expected economies resulting from a corporate purchase or a
group or sponsored arrangement, the amount of initial and/or expected
Premiums or other transactions where sales expenses are likely to be
reduced. We may also alter the terms of certain Policy provisions,
including the availability of death benefit options and the Cash Value
Credit provision for these types of purchasers. We will not discriminate
unfairly between purchasers if and when we reduce any of the charges
discussed above, make changes to the duration such charges will apply or
alter the terms of Policy provisions.
[40] 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.
[41] 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.
[42] 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.
[43] WHAT CHARGES DO THE PORTFOLIOS MAKE? 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
[44] HOW DO I BUY A POLICY? We have established certain underwriting standards
to determine insurability. We require you to submit an Application to
provide information that enables us to determine if our standards have been
met. We may require additional information, including, but not limited to,
some of the proposed Insured's medical records and may also require the
proposed Insured to take certain medical tests. We evaluate this
information to determine whether we can issue a Policy. When we evaluate
whether to issue a Policy, we will also determine whether the proposed
Insured is in the tobacco usage class and/or must be placed in a
substandard risk class. If the proposed Insured meets our standards and we
have received a Premium, we will issue a Policy. When issued, your Policy
will indicate if the Insured is in the tobacco usage class and whether the
Insured was placed in a substandard risk class in order to issue the
Policy. 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.
AGE RESTRICTIONS:
FOR SINGLE LIFE POLICIES - The Insured may not be older than Age
80 on the Policy Date. There is no minimum age limit.
FOR JOINT LIFE POLICIES - The Insureds may not be less than Age
18 or older than Age 80 on the Policy Date.
Additional age restrictions may apply if you elect Death Benefit
Option III or IV.
TOBACCO USAGE CLASS: The Insured's tobacco usage class is a factor used
to determine the Specified Amount, the Minimum Required Death Benefit,
the Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Charge and the Current
Monthly Cost of Insurance rates. If the Insured was included in the
tobacco usage class on the Policy's Issue Date and subsequently ceases
to be a tobacco user after the first Policy Year, the Insured may apply
for a change in status.
SUBSTANDARD RISK CLASS: If the Insured is placed in a substandard risk
class, the factors used to determine the Minimum Required Death
Benefit, the Guaranteed Maximum Monthly Cost of Insurance Charge and
the Current Monthly Cost of Insurance rates under the Policy will be
different than for an Insured in the preferred risk class. For Insureds
in a substandard risk class, the change in these factors will generally
result in a higher monthly cost of insurance charge and may result in a
lower Death Benefit as compared to an Insured in the preferred risk
class. Higher monthly cost of insurance charges will have AN IMPACT ON
THE ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE OF YOUR POLICY. NOTE: WHERE ALLOWED BY
LAW, POLICIES ISSUED TO INSURED(S) IN A SUBSTANDARD RISK CLASS MAY NOT
BE ELIGIBLE FOR CERTAIN BENEFITS UNDER THE POLICY.
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.
[45] 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 choose 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.
[46] 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, tobacco usage class, risk class and gender, where
permitted, as of the Policy Date.
[47] 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. This may depend on the test you elect for
your Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Code. 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.
[48] WHAT IS THE MINIMUM INITIAL PREMIUM I CAN PAY? The minimum Premium we
generally accept as an initial Premium is one-half (1/2) 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 the minimum Premium requirements. We may
require a larger minimum Premium on Policies issued to Insureds in a
substandard risk class.
[49] 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.
[50] DO I HAVE COVERAGE 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.
[51] 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.
[52] 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.
[53] 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.
[54] HOW DO I CHOOSE HOW MUCH OF THIS TYPE OF LIFE INSURANCE TO BUY, THE TEST TO
QUALIFY AS LIFE INSURANCE UNDER, WHICH DEATH BENEFIT OPTION TO USE AND HOW
MUCH PREMIUM TO PAY? The Death Benefit Option, Specified Amount, life
insurance test under the Code 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
[55] WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE VARIABLE INVESTMENT
OPTIONS? Each variable investment option is a Sub-account of the Separate
Account. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in one Portfolio. You should
carefully read the prospectus for any Portfolio in which you are
interested. The investment manager for American Skandia Trust is American
Skandia Investment Services, Inc. ("ASISI"), a company affiliated with us.
However, a sub-advisor, as noted below, is engaged to conduct day-to-day
investment decisions. Details about the investment objectives, policies,
risks, costs and management of the Portfolios are found in the Portfolio
prospectuses. There is no guarantee that any Portfolio will meet its
investment objective. The following chart classifies each of the Portfolios
based on our assessment of their investment style (as of the date of this
Prospectus). The chart also provides a short description of each
Portfolio's investment objective (in italics) and a short, summary
description of their key policies to assist you in determining which
Portfolios may be of interest to you. The name of the advisor or
sub-advisor for each Portfolio appears next to the description. Those
Portfolios whose name includes the prefix "AST" are Portfolios of American
Skandia Trust.

INVESCO Variable Investment Funds - Dynamics: seeks
securities that will increase in value over the long term.
The Portfolio invests in a variety of securities which are
believed to present opportunities for capital growth -
primarily common stocks of companies traded on U.S.
securities exchanges, as well as over-the-counter. The INVESCO Funds
Portfolio also may invest in preferred stocks and debt Group, Inc.
instruments that are convertible into common stocks, as well
as in securities of foreign companies. In general, the
Portfolio invests in securities of companies in industries
that are growing globally and usually avoids stocks of
companies in cyclical, mature or slow-growing industries or
economic sectors. The Portfolio seeks to invest in stocks of
leading companies in attractive markets or industries, or
emerging leaders that have developed a new competitive
advantage.

AST Kemper Small-Cap Growth: seeks maximum growth of
investors' capital from a portfolio primarily of growth
stocks of smaller companies. At least 65% of the Portfolio's
total assets normally will be invested in the equity
securities of smaller companies, i.e., those having a market Scudder Kemper
capitalization of $1.5 billion or less at the time of Investments, Inc.
investment, many of which would be in the early stages of
their life cycle. The Portfolio seeks attractive areas for
investment that arise from factors such as technological
advances, new marketing methods, and changes in the economy
and population. Because of the Portfolio's focus on the
stocks of smaller growth companies, investment in the
Portfolio may involve substantially greater than average
share price fluctuation and investment risk.

AST Lord Abbett Small Cap Value: seeks long-term capital
growth. The Portfolio will seek its objective through
investments primarily in equity securities that are believed
to be undervalued in the marketplace. The Portfolio
primarily seeks companies that are small-sized, based on the
value of their outstanding stock. Specifically, under normal Lord, Abbett & Co.
circumstances, at least 65% of the Portfolio's total assets
will be invested in common stocks issued by smaller, less
well-known companies (with market capitalizations of less
than $1 billion) selected on the basis of fundamental
investment analysis. The small capitalization companies in
which the Portfolio primarily invests may offer significant
appreciation potential. However, smaller companies may carry
more risk than larger companies.

Sector funds generally diversify their investments across particular economic
sectors. However, because those investments are limited to a comparatively
narrow segment of the economy, sector funds are generally not as diversified as INVESCO Funds
most mutual funds. Sector funds tend to be more volatile than other types of Group, Inc.

funds. Each sector of the economy may also have different regulatory or other
risk factors that can cause greater fluctuations in the share price. Please read

ADDITIONAL PREMIUMS
[56] 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 of additional Premiums you
may make may be limited by the test you elect for your Policy to qualify as
life insurance. The amount you may pay is flexible within the limits
discussed below.
[57] 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.
[58] 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.
[59] 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. The amount of additional Premiums you may make may be
limited by the test you elect for your Policy to qualify as life insurance.
[60] 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).
[61] 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.
KEEPING THE POLICY IN FORCE
[62] WHAT IS THE LEAST AMOUNT I MUST PAY TO KEEP THE POLICY IN FORCE? 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. 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. You may also qualify
for the guaranteed continuation provision, discussed below.
[63] 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 you qualify for the
guaranteed continuation provision.
[64] WHAT IS THE GUARANTEED CONTINUATION PROVISION? During the first ten Policy
Years or until the Insured reaches Age 80, whichever is earlier, you may
qualify for a guaranteed continuation provision if the cumulative amount of
Premium you have paid, less any withdrawals and any Debt, is not less than
a specified minimum for each Policy Month times the number of Policy Months
since the Policy Date. We call the specified minimum for each Policy Month
the "monthly continuation amount". Your Policy must meet this cumulative
Premium test each Policy Month to qualify under this provision. If you
qualify for continuation under this provision, we guarantee that your
Policy will not enter into a grace period UNTIL THE EARLIER OF THE 10TH
Policy Anniversary or the Insured's Age 80. However, the Death Benefit in
effect during the period that the guaranteed continuation provision applies
will be fixed as shown in THE POLICY. NOTE: WHERE ALLOWED BY LAW, POLICIES
ISSUED TO AN INSURED(S) IN A SUBSTANDARD RISK CLASS MAY NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR
THE GUARANTEED CONTINUATION PROVISION.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE MONTHLY CONTINUATION AMOUNT IS $500 AND 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.
TRANSFERS AND ALLOCATION SERVICES
[65] 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.
[66] 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.
[67] 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.
[68] WHAT ALLOCATION SERVICES DOES AMERICAN SKANDIA PROVIDE? We support dollar
cost averaging and static rebalancing. Dollar cost averaging allows you to
systematically transfer an amount periodically from one investment option
to one or more other investment options. With static rebalancing, you
choose allocation percentages for the Sub-accounts into which you allocate
Account Value. However, over time the performance of the variable
investment options will differ, causing your percentage allocations to
shift. Periodically, we will "rebalance" your allocations by transferring
the appropriate amount from the "overweighted" Sub-accounts to the
"underweighted" Sub-accounts to return your allocations to the percentages
you request.
LOANS
[69] 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.
[70] IS THIS TYPE OF LOAN TAX-FREE? We do not treat loans as a distribution and
therefore do not report any taxable income unless we believe your Policy
should be treated as a MEC. The actual treatment of the loan will depend on
your particular circumstances.
[71] HOW MUCH IS AVAILABLE FOR A LOAN? The maximum amount available as a loan is
equal to 90% of your current Cash Value. The minimum amount you may borrow
is $1,000.
[72] 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.
[73] WHAT ARE "PREFERRED LOANS" AND "STANDARD LOANS"? We determine what portion
of a loan is a "preferred loan" and what portion is a "standard loan" at
the time you take the loan. Whether a loan is "preferred" or "standard"
depends on the amount of the loan relative to your Policy's Cash Value.
Loans of 25% or less of the Policy's Cash Value are treated as "preferred"
loans. Loans of greater then 25% of the Policy's Cash Value are treated as
"standard" loans. We determine whether your loan should be treated as
"preferred" or "standard" at the time it is made based on the cumulative
amount of outstanding loans at that time. A loan retains its character as
"preferred" or "standard" until it is repaid.
[74] WHAT IS THE INTEREST RATE CHARGED ON LOANS? We charge interest on
"preferred" and "standard" loans 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.
[75] DOES ACCOUNT VALUE IN THE LOAN ACCOUNT EARN INTEREST? We currently credit
interest to Account Value in the Loan Account on "preferred" loans at the
rate of 6.0% per year, compounded yearly. We currently credit interest to
Account Value in the Loan Account on "standard" loans at the rate of 5.85%
per year, compounded yearly. However, with respect to "preferred" and
"standard" loans, to the extent permitted by law, we retain the right to
credit less, but never less than 5.5% per year, compounded yearly.
[76] ONCE A LOAN IS TAKEN, DOES AMERICAN SKANDIA EVER REQUIRE MORE 'COLLATERAL'
IN THE LOAN ACCOUNT? Yes. 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.
[77] DO I HAVE TO REPAY THE LOAN? WHAT HAPPENS AT THE INSURED'S DEATH IF I HAVE
NOT REPAID THE LOAN? You are not required to repay the loan while the
Insured is alive. 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.
[78] 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 are used to
repay "standard" loans first and "preferred" loans only after all
outstanding "standard" loans have been repaid. 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.
[79] 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.
[80] 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
[81] WHEN CAN I MAKE A PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL? We allow partial withdrawals while
the Insured is alive up to a maximum of 90% of the Cash Value, subject to
the following limitations:
|X| 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".
|X| After the tenth Policy Year, you may take up to the maximum partial
withdrawal amount as discussed below.
|X| At any time, you may withdraw amounts that cumulatively do not exceed
the total of any Exempt Premiums less the Exempt Premiums previously
withdrawn.
|X| You may not make a partial withdrawal of less than $1,000 and the Cash
Value subsequent to a partial withdrawal must be at least $1,000.
[82] 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.
[83] IS THERE A CHARGE FOR A PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL? We charge a $25.00 transaction
fee on any partial withdrawal.
[84] 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 Death Benefit Option I, III or IV, the Basic Death Benefit 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 you are using Death
Benefit Option II, the Specified Amount is not reduced by a partial
withdrawal.
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
[85] 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.
[86] WHAT IS PAID OUT WHEN A POLICY IS SURRENDERED? If you surrender the Policy,
we will pay you the Cash Value.
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT
[87] 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.
[88] 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.
[89] 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
G for a hypothetical illustration of the accelerated death benefit
provision.
MEDICALLY-RELATED WAIVER
[90] 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. A
medically-related waiver is available by rider to the Policy and is
currently at no charge to you.
[91] 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.
[92] 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. NOTE: WHERE ALLOWED BY LAW, POLICIES ISSUED TO AN
INSURED(S) IN A SUBSTANDARD RISK CLASS MAY NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR A
MEDICALLY-RELATED WAIVER.
[93] 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. You should consult a tax advisor on the tax
consequences of such a payment.
RISKS
[94] 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
[95] 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 INSURANCE COMPANY
[96] 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,
Inc. (formerly 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.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
[97] 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 any settlement option; and (4) 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
[98] 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.
[99] WILL MY BENEFICIARY PAY TAXES ON THE DEATH PROCEEDS? Under most
circumstances, the Beneficiary does not pay any income tax on the Death
Proceeds.
[100]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.
[101]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.
[102]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.
[103]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. Without
limiting the above, the most likely scenario where either of the above could
occur would be if the aggregate amount of a trade or trades represented a
relatively large proportion of the total assets of a particular Portfolio. 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 five 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.
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 are 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.
BACKDATING
We do not currently permit backdating the Policy Date to a date earlier than the
Issue Date. However, we reserve the right to permit backdating in the future.
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
Death Benefit Option II 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. Loans established as part of a 1035 exchange will be treated as
"preferred" loans (See "Loans" for a complete description.)
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.
OUR TAXATION: We are taxed as a life insurance company under Part I, subchapter
L, of the Code.
TREATMENT AS "LIFE INSURANCE": The Policy was designed to qualify as a life
insurance contract under the Code. All terms and provisions of the Policy shall
be construed in a manner which is consistent with that design. In order to
qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to
receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance under federal tax
law, a policy must satisfy certain requirements established by the Code. We
believe the Policy satisfies the applicable requirements. If we determine that a
Policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements we may take appropriate
action to conform the Policy to the applicable requirements. This action may
require making certain changes to your Policy. We will notify you before making
any such changes.
As life insurance, under most circumstances, the Beneficiary does not pay any
Federal income tax on the Death Proceeds. As a non-MEC, 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.
TREATMENT AS A "MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT": 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.
SUBSTANDARD RISK CLASSES: The Code provides limited guidance on the proper tax
treatment of policies issued on a substandard basis (i.e. those in a substandard
risk class). The Code limits the amount we can charge for mortality costs and
other expenses we use when we calculate whether your Policy qualifies as life
insurance under the Code. We are required to base our calculations on reasonable
mortality and other charges reasonably expected to be paid. We believe that the
charges used for your Policy should meet the current requirement for
"reasonableness." However, we reserve the right to make changes to the current
and guaranteed mortality charges and factors used to determine the Minimum
Required Death Benefit, if new regulations are issued that require a change to
ensure that your Policy qualifies as life insurance under the Code. This could
result in a change in your Death Benefit.
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; and (e) 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 General Counsel of American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation 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 consolidated financial statements of American Skandia Life Assurance
Corporation at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, and for the years then ended,
and the financial statements of American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation
Variable Account F at December 31, 1999, and for the period June 26, 1998
through December 31, 1998, appearing in this Prospectus and Registration
Statement have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors.
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"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
American Skandia, Inc., acts as the principal underwriter of the Policies. ASM
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 8, 1987.
ASM's principal business address is One Corporate Drive, Shelton, Connecticut
06484. ASM 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 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 may offer Policies directly to potential purchasers. Generally the
maximum initial commission to be paid on premiums received is 10%. However, we
may pay higher amounts under certain situations. In addition, 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 commissions
from time-to-time on the investment options chosen by Owners, including
investment options that may be deemed our "affiliates" or "affiliates" of ASM
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
We may 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, as permitted by law, 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, the sales
charge 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, tobacco usage class, risk
class and gender, where applicable, of an Insured or Insureds; (b) the life
insurance test elected to qualify as life insurance under the Code; (c) the
amount and timing of Premium payments, the Specified Amount, the Death Benefit
Option and the Policy Date; and (d) 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 the 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 tobacco usage class and expected risk class(es) of the
Insured(s); (c) the gender of the Insured(s), where permitted; (d) the Specified
Amount you seek; (e) the test that you elect to qualify your Policy as life
insurance; (f) which Death Benefit Option (I, II, III or IV) is to apply; and
(g) 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. We may also 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. Certain of these illustrations may not be
available as of the date of this Prospectus. 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 each Death Benefit Option and for both of the
applicable life insurance tests under the Code. The assumptions used are as
follows:
1. Hypothetical average annual gross rates of return in the Portfolios of
0%, 6% and 12%. Of course, actual investment performance is not a
constant rate. If the hypothetical gross rate of return were to
fluctuate above or below the 0%, 6% or 12% average over a period of
years, the Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Value may be
different. For hypothetical rates of return of 0% AND 6%, THE
ILLUSTRATIONS WILL INDICATE IF A POLICY WOULD LAPSE. HYPOTHETICAL
RATES OF RETURN ARE FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT A
REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
2. Hypothetical constant expense ratios of [0.98%] for the Portfolios.
The total annual expenses for the underlying mutual funds are shown in
the section entitled "Variable Investment Options." The [0.98%]
hypothetical expense ratio is the weighted average of the actual total
annual expenses for all available Portfolios as of December 31, 1998.
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 [0.98%] hypothetical expense ratio, when
deducted from the hypothetical average annual gross rates of return
equals a hypothetical average annual net rate of return of [-0.98%],
[5.02%] and [11.02%], respectively.
3. The mortality and expense risk charge assessed against the assets in
the Separate Account at an annualized rate of 0.90% for Policy Years
1-15 and 0.25% for Policy Years 16 and thereafter. 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, tobacco usage class, 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, as are the applicable Death Benefit Option and the
life insurance test under the Code. If you choose Death Benefit Option
IV, the assumed interest rate will be 5%.
8. The Insured(s) is/are eligible for the "no tobacco usage" class.
9. The Insured(s) is/are considered to be in the preferred risk class. If
the Insured(s) is/are placed in a substandard risk class, the values
for the Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Value will differ
because the risk classification impacts charges under the Policy.
10. 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.
11. Neither the Death Benefit Option nor the Specified Amount is changed
after the Policy Date.

* It is assumed that Premiums are applied at the beginning of the Policy Year
shown.
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, ANY WITHDRAWALS, LOANS AND LOAN
REPAYMENTS, 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 under the Cash Value Accumulation Test 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 for your Policy as of the Policy Date. These factors
vary by the attained Age, gender (where permitted), tobacco usage class and risk
class of each Insured. The factors shown above are applicable for Insureds in
the preferred risk class. The factors for other risk classes are available upon
request. Factors for joint life cases depend upon a standard insurance industry
method used to derive the applicable factor for both Insureds.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Minimum Required Death Benefit under the Guideline Premium Test 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 corridor factor. The corridor factors are based on the Insured's age at the
beginning of each Policy Year. The corridor factors do not vary by gender,
tobacco usage class or risk class of the Insured. Factors for joint life cases
are based upon the age of the younger Insured, regardless of whether the younger
Insured is alive.

</TABLE>
We base the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance 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. The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge depends on the tobacco
usage class and risk class of each Insured. The charges shown above are
applicable for Insureds in the preferred risk class. The guaranteed maximum cost
of insurance charges for other risk classes are available upon request. Charges
for substandard risk classes are based on a multiple of the table rates. Cost of
insurance charges for joint life cases are determined using a standard insurance
industry method used to derive the applicable charge based on the applicable
cost of insurance charge for both Insureds.

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 charges shown above are applicable
for Insureds in the preferred risk class. The current monthly cost of insurance
charges for other risk classes are available upon request. Cost of insurance
charges for joint life cases are determined using a standard insurance industry
method used to derive the applicable charge based on the applicable cost of
insurance charge for both Insureds. Current monthly cost of insurance rates for
specific proposed joint Insureds are also available on request.

APPENDIX E
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 tobacco
usage class and 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
individual current monthly cost of insurance rates for each
Insured.
2. CURRENT MONTHLY COST OF INSURANCE FEE: The cost of insurance fee is
calculated using a "constant", currently $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 I
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 (gender
specific cost of insurance rates are used); and (5) the Insured is in the "no
tobacco usage" class and is in the preferred risk class.
(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 usage" class and the preferred risk 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 for purposes of determining cost of
insurance charges 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.

The Maximum Annual Assessable Premium depends on the Age, tobacco usage class,
risk class and, where permitted, gender of the Insured. The amounts shown above
are applicable for Insureds in the preferred risk class. The Maximum Annual
Assessable Premium for Insureds in a substandard risk class are higher than for
Insureds in a preferred risk class.

APPENDIX G
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 in the no tobacco usage class and preferred
risk 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 I.
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

This table shows the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rates applicable to
this Policy. Rates actually used cannot exceed these rates. These rates are per
$1,000 Net Amount at Risk. They are based on the Age of the Insured, and on the

Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday,
differentiated as to [sex and tobacco use], with a percentage multiple applied
for substandard classes. The rates shown below are for the Policy Date and

will apply uniformly to all members of the same class.

LIFE INSURANCE: This is a policy outlining a life insurance company's promise to
pay benefits upon the death of an Insured, where such a policy achieves certain
federal income tax treatment by complying with one of two tests which are
provided in the definition of Life Insurance in the Code. The test you selected
to be applicable to this Policy is shown in the Schedule, and may not be changed
on or after the Issue Date.

Initial Premium.
(b) After the Policy Date and before the first Policy Anniversary: The
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit equals total Premiums paid less any
partial withdrawals.
(c) After the first Policy Anniversary but before the Target Date shown in
the Schedule: The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is the greater of
(1) and (2), where:
(1) is total Premiums paid less any partial withdrawals; and
(2) is the highest Anniversary Value.
(d) On or after the Target Date shown in the Schedule: The Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit is the greater of (1) and (2), where:
(1) is total Premiums paid less any partial withdrawals; and
(2) is the highest Anniversary Value as of the Target Date, less any
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) 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) We will require evidence of insurability for any change into Death
Benefit option 3 or Death Benefit option 4. Subsequent to any change
into Death Benefit option 3 or Death Benefit option 4, the Death
Benefit calculations are based on Premiums paid subsequent to such a
change.
(d) No more than one change in Death Benefit option is allowed each
Policy Year.
(e) A request to reduce the Specified Amount during the first seven Policy
Years or within five years of an increase to the Specified Amount will
be subject to our prior approval.
(f) The minimum amount by which you may change the Specified Amount is
shown in the Schedule.
(g) A change in Specified Amount or Death Benefit option will not be
allowed if it will reduce the Specified Amount below the minimum
Specified Amount shown in the Schedule.
(h) On any change in Specified Amount, including one resulting from a Death
Benefit option change, Tier 1 Premiums will be increased or decreased
by the same percentage as the Specified Amount. This change in Tier 1
Premiums may affect the calculation of any future contingent deferred
sales charge.
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 of death
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 any
additional benefit riders under this Policy; minus (c) any Debt; minus
<PAGE>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-13
(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.
INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT VALUE
GENERAL: We offer a range of variable investment options and Fixed Allocations
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 any Premium, less applicable charges, to a Fixed
Allocation. You may transfer all or part of the Account Value attributable to
the variable investment options into a 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.
<PAGE>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-14
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 any settlement option; and (4)
for any other obligation we may have in relation to a Policy and/or any
additional benefit 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 guaranteed monthly cost
of insurance rate depends on the Age, sex and risk class of the Insured as shown
in the Schedule and on the 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 monthly cost of insurance charge
will not exceed the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate, 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 other related revenues. 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.
<PAGE>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-15
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. The applicable percentage rate after the Issue Date
may change if the taxes due in relation to your Premium change by law.
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 previously paid. 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.
TRANSFER FEE: The transfer fee may be deducted at the time of a transfer. This
includes transfers into a 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 applicable rate shown
in the Schedule for the appropriate duration 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, 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:
(a) The Policy is within the Tier 1 Premium Guaranteed Acceptance Period shown
in the Schedule; (b) No Tier 2 Premium has been paid; and, (c) 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 (a) multiplied by (b), where:
<PAGE>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-16
(a) Is the Maximum Annual Tier 1 Premium shown in the Schedule, and;
(b) 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 any Premium,
less any applicable charges, 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
charges, 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 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>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-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) Amounts transferred to the Loan Account; less
(b) Reductions in the Loan Account due to loan repayments; 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 minimum interest rate
credited to the Account Value in the Loan Account is shown in the Schedule.
<PAGE>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-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.
A preferred loan is any loan for which the transferred Account Value does not
exceed (a) less (b); where:
(a) is the Account Value less any contingent deferred sales charge, multiplied
by the maximum preferred loan percentage, as shown in the Schedule; and
(b) is any existing preferred Debt.
A standard loan is any other loan.
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 minimum annual interest rate shown in the Schedule.
Preferred loan Account Values will be credited interest at a rate equal to or
greater than standard loan Account Values.
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
The Cash Value Credit is an amount that we first allocate to your Account Value
when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied on a Policy
Anniversary:
(a) the Cash Value equals or exceeds the Cash Value Trigger shown in the
Schedule; or
(b) the cumulative Premiums paid meet the Premium Trigger shown in the
Schedule.
Once the Cash Value Credit is earned, it will be added to your Account Value on
the applicable Policy Anniversary and on each subsequent Policy Anniversary.
The Cash Value Credit is equal to (a) multiplied by (b); where
(a) is the Cash Value on the Policy Anniversary; and
(b) is the Cash Value Credit percentage shown in the Schedule.
The Cash Value Credit is applied pro-rata, based on the Account Values 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.
<PAGE>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-19
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 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 starting in the Policy
Year shown in the Schedule for availability of partial withdrawals. 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 will process the withdrawal for the maximum
amount available. 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 partial withdrawal fee. As a result, the
Minimum Required Death Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Day of the partial
withdrawal. If necessary, the Specified Amount is also reduced so that the
resulting Death Benefit after the partial withdrawal does not exceed (a) less
(b); where
(a) is the Death Benefit before the partial withdrawal; and
(b) is the amount withdrawn, not including the partial withdrawal fee.
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 may
affect the amount of any benefit we may offer under a separate endorsement or
rider.
MAXIMUM LOAN VALUE: The maximum loan value is the maximum amount you may borrow.
It is equal to the Cash Value, multiplied by the maximum loan value percentage
shown in the Schedule. The minimum loan amount is shown in the Schedule.
LOAN INTEREST: Loan interest accrues daily at the 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 the
Insured is living and this Policy is in force. Any standard loan is repaid
before a preferred loan.
As of the Valuation Day of the repayment:
(a) we reduce the loan principal and outstanding loan interest
proportionately based on the ratio between loan principal and loan
interest as of that Valuation Day;
(b) we reduce the Account Value in the Loan Account by an amount equal to
the lesser of the amount of the loan repayment and the total Account
Value in the Loan Account as of that Valuation Day; and
(c) we allocate the 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.
GRACE PERIOD AND REINSTATEMENT
GRACE PERIOD: 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 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.
<PAGE>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-21
REINSTATEMENT: Any requested reinstatement of Debt is subject to our rules. 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 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.
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.
<PAGE>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-22
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX: If there has been a misstatement of the age or sex
of the Insured, all Policy values, including the Death Benefit, will be
recalculated from the Issue Date based on the correct age and sex.
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. Any 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, 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 from
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>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-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 and Death Proceeds may
be paid as a lump sum or pursuant to any other payment option we offer. If you
choose any of our payment options, you must request your choice In Writing.
Payment options can be guaranteed for life, for a certain period, for joint
lives or for a certain period and life as described below. We make available
fixed payments. We reserve the right to require that the payments be payable on
the first or the fifteenth day of a calendar month. Except for lump sum
payments, we will only make payments directly to an account with a financial
institution in the United States of America.
In the absence of an election In Writing prior to Death Proceeds becoming due,
the Beneficiary may elect to receive the Death Proceeds under one of the payment
options described below. However, if you made an election, the Beneficiary may
not alter such election.
For purposes of the payment options described below, the term "key life" means
the person or persons upon whose life any payments dependent upon the
continuation of life are based.
(a) Option 1 - Payments for Life: Under this option, income is payable
periodically prior to the death of the key life, terminating with the
last payment due prior to such death.
<PAGE>
2BFPVLI(01/00)-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 sex 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
sex, if applicable, of the payee at the time the first payment is due. Under
option three, the amount of each payment depends on the age and sex, if
applicable, of both payees at the time the first payment is due. No election can
be changed once payments begin.
The tables shown are based on interest at 3% per year compounded annually and
the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table set back one year for males and two
years for females, or the appropriate variation of such table with sex-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.

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.
READ YOUR POLICY CAREFULLY
This is a legal contract between you and us.
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
total amount of Premiums 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 Premiums paid or the Account Value.
Any portion of Premiums received before the Reallocation Date you choose to
allocate to the variable investment options is first allocated to the Automatic
Sub-account shown in the Schedule. 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
Premiums received before the Reallocation Date you choose to allocate directly
to any Fixed Allocation will not be allocated to the Automatic Sub-account.

TABLE OF GUARANTEED MONTHLY COST OF INSURANCE RATES
PER $1,000 NET AMOUNT AT RISK
This table shows the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rates applicable to
this Policy. Rates actually used cannot exceed these rates. These rates are per
$1,000 Net Amount at Risk. They are based on the Ages of the Insureds, and on
the sexes and risk classes shown in the Schedule. These rates are based on the
1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday,
differentiated as to [sex and tobacco use], with a percentage multiple applied
for substandard classes. The rates shown below are for the Policy Date and
subsequent Policy Anniversaries. The rates are level within each Policy Year. No
cost of insurance charge is assessed on or after the Premium Cut-Off Age.
We may change the cost of insurance rates actually used, but they can never
exceed the rates shown in this table. Any change in the cost of insurance rates
will apply uniformly to all members of the same class.

separately for each Sub-account and each Fixed Allocation, as well as for any
amounts in the Loan Account, and then totaled to determine Account Value for the
Policy.
AGE: Initially, and for the first Policy Year, the younger Insured's age last
birthday on the Policy Date. In each following Policy Year, it is the age last
birthday of the younger Insured as of the preceding Policy Anniversary. If the
younger Insured is not alive, Age refers to what would have been the Age of the
younger Insured had the younger Insured been alive.
ANNIVERSARY VALUE: The Account Value on any previous Policy Anniversary less any
partial withdrawals since that Anniversary.

Value. However, when we calculate the cost of insurance charge on a Monthly
Processing Date based on the Net Amount at Risk, we, for this purpose only,
project the Death Benefit forward one month assuming no change in the Account
Value and then discount that amount for one month. We use the Net Amount at Risk
Discount Rate shown in the Schedule for this purpose.

GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT: All references below to Premium do not include
any Premium for additional benefits. 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 before the first Policy Anniversary: The
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
equals total Premiums paid less any partial withdrawals.
(c) After the first Policy Anniversary but before the Target Date shown in
the Schedule: The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit is the greater of
(1) and (2), where:
(1) is total Premiums paid less any partial withdrawals; and
(2) is the highest Anniversary Value.
(d) On or after the Target Date shown in the Schedule: The Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit is the greater of (1) and (2), where:
(1) is total Premiums paid less any partial withdrawals; and
(2) is the highest Anniversary Value as of the Target Date, less any
partial withdrawals since the Target Date.
CHANGES AFTER ISSUE: After the first Policy Year, and while the last surviving
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) An increase in Specified Amount is subject to evidence of insurability
satisfactory to us and is not allowed if an Insured does not meet our
then current underwriting rules 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
recalculated, if necessary, so that the Death Benefit immediately
after the change equals the Death Benefit immediately before the
change.
(c) We will require evidence of insurability for any change into Death
Benefit option 3 or Death Benefit option 4. Subsequent to any change
into Death Benefit option 3 or Death Benefit option 4, the Death
Benefit calculations are based on Premiums paid subsequent to such a
change.
(d) No more than one change in Death Benefit option is allowed each Policy
Year.
(e) A request to reduce the Specified Amount during the first seven Policy
Years or within five years of an increase to the Specified Amount will
be subject to our prior approval.
(f) The minimum amount by which you may change the Specified Amount is
shown in the Schedule.
(g) A change in Specified Amount or Death Benefit option will not be
allowed if it will reduce the Specified Amount below the minimum
Specified Amount shown in the Schedule.
(h) On any change in Specified Amount, including one resulting from a
Death Benefit option change, Tier 1 Premiums will be increased or
decreased by the same percentage as the Specified Amount. This change
in Tier 1 Premiums may affect the calculation of any future contingent
deferred sales charge.
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 of death
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 any additional benefit riders under this
Policy; minus
(c) any Debt; minus
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-13
(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.
INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT VALUE
GENERAL: We offer a range of variable investment options and Fixed Allocations
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 any Premium, less applicable charges, to a Fixed
Allocation. You may transfer all or part of the Account Value attributable to
the variable investment options into a 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.
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-14
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 any settlement option; and (4)
for any other obligation we may have in relation to a Policy and/or any
additional benefit 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 guaranteed monthly cost
of insurance rate depends on the Ages, sexes and risk classes of the Insureds as
shown in the Schedule and on the 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 monthly cost of insurance
charge will not exceed the guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate, 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 other related revenues. 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.
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-15
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. The applicable percentage rate after the Issue Date
may change if the taxes due in relation to your Premium change by law.
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 previously paid. 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.
TRANSFER FEE: The transfer fee may be deducted at the time of a transfer. This
includes transfers into a 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 applicable rate shown
in the Schedule for the appropriate duration 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, 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:
(a) The Policy is within the Tier 1 Premium Guaranteed Acceptance Period
shown in the Schedule;
(b) No Tier 2 Premium has been paid; and,
(c) 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 (a) multiplied by (b), where:
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-16
(a) Is the Maximum Annual Tier 1 Premium shown in the Schedule, and;
(b) 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 any Premium,
less any applicable charges, 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
charges, 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 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>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-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) Amounts transferred to the Loan Account; less
(b) Reductions in the Loan Account due to loan repayments; 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 minimum interest rate
credited to the Account Value in the Loan Account is shown in the Schedule.
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-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.
A preferred loan is any loan for which the transferred Account Value does not
exceed (a) less (b); where:
(a) is the Account Value less any contingent deferred sales charge,
multiplied by the maximum preferred loan percentage, as shown in the
Schedule; and
(b) is any existing preferred Debt.
A standard loan is any other loan.
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 minimum annual interest rate shown in the Schedule.
Preferred loan Account Values will be credited interest at a rate equal to or
greater than standard loan Account Values.
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
The Cash Value Credit is an amount that we first allocate to your Account Value
when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied on a Policy
Anniversary:
(a) the Cash Value equals or exceeds the Cash Value Trigger shown in the
Schedule; or
(b) the cumulative Premiums paid meet the Premium Trigger shown in the
Schedule.
Once the Cash Value Credit is earned, it will be added to your Account Value on
the applicable Policy Anniversary and on each subsequent Policy Anniversary.
The Cash Value Credit is equal to (a) multiplied by (b); where
(a) is the Cash Value on the Policy Anniversary; and
(b) is the Cash Value Credit percentage shown in the Schedule.
The Cash Value Credit is applied pro-rata, based on the Account Values 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.
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-19
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 starting in the Policy
Year shown in the Schedule for availability of partial withdrawals. 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 will process the withdrawal for the maximum
amount available. 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 partial withdrawal fee. As a result, the
Minimum Required Death Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Day of the partial
withdrawal. If necessary, the Specified Amount is also reduced so that the
resulting Death Benefit after the partial withdrawal does not exceed (a) less
(b); where
(a) is the Death Benefit before the partial withdrawal; and
(b) is the amount withdrawn, not including the partial withdrawal fee.
An amount taken as a partial withdrawal cannot be repaid.
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-20
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 may affect the amount of any benefit
we may offer under a separate endorsement or rider.
MAXIMUM LOAN VALUE: The maximum loan value is the maximum amount you may borrow.
It is equal to the Cash Value, multiplied by the maximum loan value percentage
shown in the Schedule. The minimum loan amount is shown in the Schedule.
LOAN INTEREST: Loan interest accrues daily at the 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. Any standard loan is repaid
before a preferred loan.
As of the Valuation Day of the repayment:
(a) we reduce the loan principal and outstanding loan interest
proportionately based on the ratio between loan principal and loan
interest as of that Valuation Day;
(b) we reduce the Account Value in the Loan Account by an amount equal to
the lesser of the amount of the loan repayment and the total Account
Value in the Loan Account as of that Valuation Day; and
(c) we allocate the 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.
GRACE PERIOD AND REINSTATEMENT
GRACE PERIOD: 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 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.
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-21
REINSTATEMENT: Any requested reinstatement of Debt is subject to our rules. 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 on any Insured who was
alive as of the date the Policy lapsed;
(c) Payment of 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.
CHANGING REVOCABLE DESIGNATIONS: Unless you indicated that a prior choice was
irrevocable or your Policy has been endorsed to limit certain changes, you may
request to change Owner and Beneficiary designations by sending a request In
Writing.
COMMON DISASTER: If any Beneficiary dies with the last surviving Insured in a
common disaster, it must be proved to our satisfaction that the last surviving
Insured died first. Unless information provided and satisfactory to us indicates
otherwise, the Policy is treated as though the Beneficiary died first. If both
Insureds die either simultaneously or in circumstances where it is not clear
which Insured died first, the older of the two Insureds will be deemed to be the
last surviving Insured.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
ENTIRE CONTRACT: This Policy, any attached riders or endorsements, and the
attached copy of any Application constitute the entire contract. All statements
made in any Application are deemed to be representations and not warranties.
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-22
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 sex
of an Insured, all Policy values, including the Death Benefit, will be
recalculated from the Issue Date based on the correct age and sex.
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. Any 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, 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.
DEFERRAL OF TRANSACTIONS: We may defer any payment that is not distributed from
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.
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-23
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.
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 and Death Proceeds may
be paid as a lump sum or pursuant to any other payment option we offer. If you
choose any of our payment options, you must request your choice In Writing.
Payment options can be guaranteed for life, for a certain period, for joint
lives or for a certain period and life as described below. We make available
fixed payments. We reserve the right to require that the payments be payable on
the first or the fifteenth day of a calendar month. Except for lump sum
payments, we will only make payments directly to an account with a financial
institution in the United States of America.
In the absence of an election In Writing prior to Death Proceeds becoming due,
the Beneficiary may elect to receive the Death Proceeds under one of the payment
options described below. However, if you made an election, the Beneficiary may
not alter such election.
For purposes of the payment options described below, the term "key life" means
the person or persons upon whose life any payments dependent upon the
continuation of life are based.
(a) Option 1 - Payments for Life: Under this option, income is payable
periodically prior to the death of the key life, terminating with the
last payment due prior to such death.
<PAGE>
2BSV/FPVLI(01/00)-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 sex 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
sex, if applicable, of the payee at the time the first payment is due. Under
option three, the amount of each payment depends on the age and sex, if
applicable, of both payees at the time the first payment is due. No election can
be changed once payments begin.
The tables shown are based on interest at 3% per year compounded annually and
the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table set back one year for males and two
years for females, or the appropriate variation of such table with sex-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
This Endorsement is made part of the Policy to which it is attached. It is
effective on the date such Policy is effective. The following provision is added
to the Policy:
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT DUE TO TERMINAL ILLNESS
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.
b) Such a request must be In Writing.
c) We receive In Writing proof satisfactory to us that the Insured,
but only the last surviving Insured if there are two Insureds,
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,
Basic Death Benefit, 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.

Guaranteed Continuation Amount: $[100,000]
Guaranteed Continuation Period: The earlier of [10 years] from the Policy Issue
Date or Age [80] of the younger Insured.
Required Monthly Premium: $[156.00]
This Endorsement is made part of the Policy to which it is attached. The
following provision is added to the Policy:
Guaranteed Continuation Provision
If the Cash Value on any Monthly Processing Date during the Guaranteed
Continuation Period is less than the charges then due, this Policy will continue
in force until the next Monthly Processing Date, with the Death Benefit equal to
the Guaranteed Continuation Amount shown above, provided that the total premiums
paid, less withdrawals, and less any Debt equals or exceeds the product of (a)
times (b) where:
(a) is the Required Monthly Premium shown above; and
(b) is the number of months elapsed between the Policy Date and the Monthly
Processing Date following the date as of which the Cash Value is less
than the charges due.
The calculation of the Net Amount at Risk and guaranteed and current cost of
insurance charges will use the same rates, values and factors applicable to this
Policy, and will assume a Death Benefit equal to the Guaranteed Continuation
Amount. The resulting charges due will be taken, to the extent possible, from
the Account Value. We will pay any balance due.
On each Monthly Processing Date within the Guaranteed Continuation Period,
continuation under the terms of this provision will be based on meeting the then
cumulative payment requirement described above. Policy continuation on any
Monthly Processing Date does not imply continuation on any future Monthly
Processing Date.

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 any contingent deferred tax charge that would otherwise apply
to a partial withdrawal or surrender. A partial withdrawal fee does not apply to
any amount taken as a partial withdrawal under this benefit. We may accept such
a request whether or not other partial withdrawals are available under the
Policy. Eligibility for this waiver depends on the health of an Insured, but
only the last surviving Insured if there is more than one 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 waiver 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 necessary
in-patient medical care which is: (a) prescribed by a licensed Physician In
Writing; and (b) 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.

EXHIBIT A (11)
DESCRIPTION OF TRANSFER AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES FOR FLEXIBLE PREMIUM
VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES ISSUED BY
AMERICAN SKANDIA LIFE ASSURANCE CORPORATION
PURSUANT TO RULE 6e-3(T)(b)(12)(iii)
This document sets forth the administrative procedures that will be followed by
American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation ("American Skandia" or the
"Company") in connection with the issuance of its flexible premium variable life
insurance policy or (the "Policy" or "Policies"), the transfer of assets held
thereunder, and the redemption by Owners of their interests in said Policies.
The document also describes the method that American Skandia will use in
adjusting the payments and cash values when a Policy is exchanged for a fixed
benefit insurance policy pursuant to Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(v)(B).
I. PURCHASE AND ISSUANCE OF POLICIES
A. PREMIUMS AND UNDERWRITING STANDARDS
The Policy is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy. The Policy
provides considerable flexibility regarding the timing and amount of premium
payments after the first. No additional premium must be paid unless required to
pay the ongoing monthly charges. However, there is a minimum amount we accept
both for initial and subsequent premiums. There also is a maximum total amount
you can pay. The minimum Premium we generally accept as an initial Premium is
1/2th of the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium. The Maximum Annual Assessable
Premium is the maximum amount of Premium in a Policy Year against which we will
assess any contingent deferred sales charge upon surrender of the Policy. We do
not assess any contingent deferred sales charge upon surrender against any
portion of the Premium you pay during a Policy Year that exceeds the maximum
amount for that Policy Year. 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 required minimum amounts. 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, at such time
we will not accept more than $500,000 without prior Home Office approval.
B. APPLICATION AND INITIAL PREMIUM PROCESSING
Upon receipt of a completed Application, American Skandia will follow certain
insurance underwriting (i.e., evaluation of risks) procedures designed to
determine insurability. Standard underwriting may involve such verification
procedures as medical examinations and may require that further information be
provided by the proposed Insured before a determination can be made. The
Policies will be offered and sold pursuant to established underwriting standards
and in accordance with state insurance laws, which prohibit unfair
discrimination among Owners, but recognize that premiums must be based upon
factors such as age, health or occupation. As part of our standards, we will not
issue a Policy if, as of the Policy Date, the Insured would be older than Age
80. If our standards are not met and we received a Premium, we will return to
you an amount equal to the Premium. No interest will be paid. A Policy will not
be issued until underwriting procedures have been completed.
We may issue a temporary insurance agreement during the "underwriting period."
The "underwriting period" is the period between the time an application is
submitted 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 20; 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.

C. PREMIUM ALLOCATION
In the application for a Policy, the Owner can allocate the Net Premium using
one or more variable investment options and/or a Fixed Allocation. The Fixed
Allocation provides a fixed interest rate guarantee provided by American
Skandia's general account. American Skandia initially invests the portion of the
Net Premium allocated to variable investment options in the AST Money Market
Sub-account unless the Owner submits a "return waiver" In Writing before the
Issue Date, where permitted by law. A return waiver is an election by you to
invest as soon as possible in the variable investment options of your choice. If
you submit a "return waiver" and then decide to return your Policy during the
"free-look" period, you may receive back less than the Premium. Generally,
American Skandia transfers the Account Value in the AST Money Market Sub-account
to the variable investment options the Owner requested 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.
II. TRANSFER AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Each variable investment option is invested in an underlying mutual fund or
portfolio of an underlying mutual fund and are Sub-accounts of the Separate
Account. Each Sub-account invests exclusively in one Portfolio. The Owner may
transfer Account Value between these investment options, however, no transfers
are permitted when the Policy is in its "grace period." The Company retains the
right to impose a limit of not more than 12 transfers per Policy Year, including
transfers involving Fixed Allocations. The Company reserves the right to require
that there be at least $500.00 in an investment option after a transfer. If, as
a result of the transfer, there would be less than $500.00 in an investment
option, the Company reserves the right to transfer the remaining Account Value
pro rata to the investment option(s) that were being transferred to.
Requests for transfers must be In Writing unless American Skandia receives a
prior written authorization from the Owner permitting transfers based on
instructions the Company receives over the phone. A transfer will take effect on
the date the Company's requirements are met and received at the Company's
Office, unless a later date is designated in the request for a transfer.
III. "REDEMPTION" PROCEDURES: SURRENDER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
A. SURRENDER FOR CASH VALUE
An Owner may surrender the Policy after the end of the free-look period as long
as the Insured is alive. If the Policy is surrendered, the Company will pay the
Owner the Cash Value. A surrender request must be In Writing. American Skandia
prices surrenders, as of the date the Company's requirements are met and
received at the Company's Office.
B. PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
Partial withdrawals are allowed while the Insured is alive. A partial withdrawal
may not be taken until after the end of the "free-look" period. The Company
allows partial withdrawals while the Insured is alive up to a maximum of 90% of
the Policy's Cash Value, subject to the following limitations: (1) 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"; (2) After the tenth Policy Year, an Owner may take
up to the maximum partial withdrawal amount. The maximum partial withdrawal at
any time is the amount available such that as a consequence of the partial
withdrawal, the Specified Amount is at least a specified minimum and your Cash
Value is greater than $1,000; and (3) At any time, while the Insured is alive,
the Owner may withdraw amounts that cumulatively do not exceed the total of any
Exempt Premiums less the Exempt Premiums previously withdrawn. No partial
withdrawal may be less than $1,000. Funds taken as a partial withdrawal cannot
be put back into the Policy. The Company charges a $25.00 transaction fee on any
partial withdrawal.
The contingent deferred sales charge is a percentage of the Assessable Premium
paid. It is charged if you surrender the Policy during certain periods, unless
the Policy qualifies for a medically-related waiver of these charges, as
discussed in the section of this Prospectus entitled "Medically-Related Waiver".
<PAGE>
The percentages that we assess against Assessable Premium upon a surrender are
as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
- ----------------------- ------- -------- -------- -------- ------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------- --------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Policy Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11+
- ----------------------- ------- -------- -------- -------- ------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------- --------
- ----------------------- ------- -------- -------- -------- ------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------- --------
Percentage (%) 10 8 6 5 4 3 2 2 1 1 0
- ----------------------- ------- -------- -------- -------- ------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------- --------
</TABLE>
The Assessable Premium equals the total Premiums less the total Exempt Premiums.
Exempt Premiums are the amounts against which we will not charge a contingent
deferred sales charge upon surrender or withdrawal.
A partial withdrawal reduces the Account Value by an amount equal to the amount
of the partial withdrawal. Unless instructed differently, Account Value is taken
from the variable investment options and the Fixed Allocations in the same
proportion as Account Value in the investment options on the Valuation Date such
Account Value is taken.
A partial withdrawal reduces the Death Benefit. It also reduces the Guaranteed
Minimum Death Benefit in the same proportion as the Account Value is reduced by
the partial withdrawal. The Death Benefit is reduced because the Account Value,
which is used in calculating the Death Benefit, has been reduced.
C. DEATH BENEFIT CLAIMS
As long as the Policy remains in force, American Skandia will usually pay the
Death Proceeds to the named Beneficiary, unless the Policy is contested. The
Death Proceeds are based on the Death Benefit as of the date the Company
receives all 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 necessary to make payments
to each Beneficiary. Payment of the Death Proceeds may be postponed as permitted
pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Death Proceeds equal the Death Benefit under the Policy less any Debt plus
any interest amount required by law. The Death Benefit will be priced as of the
date American Skandia's requirements are met and received at their Office. The
Death Proceeds are paid as a lump sum or in accordance with payment options
described in the Policy or any other payment option selected by the Beneficiary
and agreed to by American Skandia. Generally, the Beneficiary can choose a lump
sum or one of the settlement options. However, the Owner may choose the method
of payment if such instruction is received and agreed to by American Skandia In
Writing before the Insured's death.
D. POLICY GRACE PERIOD AND REINSTATEMENT
If, on any Monthly Processing Day, an Owner's Account Value is insufficient to
pay the current monthly deductions, a 61-day "grace period" begins unless the
guaranteed continuation provision is then applicable. If a policy enters the
grace period, the Company will send the Owners a notice of how much must be paid
before the end of the grace period to keep the Policy in force. If that were to
occur and, during the grace period, the Owner does not pay the amount needed to
keep the policy in force, the Policy will end, unless the guaranteed
continuation provision applies. During the first ten Policy Years, the Owner may
qualify for a guaranteed continuation provision if: (1) the total amount of
Premium 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. The
specified minimum for each Policy Month is called the "monthly continuation
amount". This amount is 1/24th of the Maximum Annual Assessable Premium. If the
Owner qualifies for continuation under this provision, the Company guarantees
that the Policy will not enter into a grace period until the 10th Policy
Anniversary or the Insured's Age 80, which ever is earlier. 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.
<PAGE>
If the Policy lapses, the Owner may apply for reinstatement of the Policy.
American Skandia must receive such application In Writing at the Company's
Office within three years of the date the lapse occurred as measured from the
end of the grace period. In order to reinstate the Policy, the Owner must pay a
reinstatement amount, including any applicable charges and any Debt and the
Company may require satisfactory evidence of insurability.
E. MEDICALLY-RELATED WAIVER
A medically-related waiver is the Company's 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. American Skandia will consider waiving the contingent
deferred sales charge, where allowed by law, if the Company receives all of
their requirements. These requirements include, but are not limited to,
satisfactory proof 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 Policy,
and that such confinement started after the Issue Date. 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.
F. ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT
The Company may pre-pay a portion of the Death Proceeds to the Insured in the
form of an accelerated death benefit. The maximum the Company will pay, before
any reductions, is the lesser of 50% of the Required Death Benefit or $250,000.
The actual amount is reduced by a 12-month interest rate discount (currently
6.0%) and a pro-rata portion of any Debt. The Company will only make payment if
we receive all our requirements, including but 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. Any such payment reduces the Account Value, the
Premium, the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit and any Debt in the same ratio as
the Required Death Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Period such a payment
is made.
G. POLICY LOANS
An Owner may obtain a cash loan from American Skandia using Account Value as
collateral. The Owner can receive loans equal to 90% of the Cash Value. At the
time a loan is taken, the amount then available for a new loan is the maximum
otherwise available less any Debt. The minimum amount an Owner can borrow is
$1,000.
When a loan is taken, Account Value equal to the loan amount, is moved to the
Loan Account. Unless American Skandia is instructed differently, Account Value
is moved from the variable investment options and the Fixed Allocations in the
same proportion as Account Value is invested in the investment options on the
Valuation Date such Account value is moved. The Loan Account is a mechanism used
to ensure that any outstanding Debt remains fully secured by the Account Value.
We determine what portion of a loan is a "preferred loan" and what portion is a
"standard loan" at the time you take the loan. Whether a loan is "preferred" or
"standard" depends on the amount of the loan relative to your Policy's Cash
Value. Loans of 25% of less of the Policy's Cash Value are treated as
"preferred" loans. Loans of greater then 25% of the Policy's Cash Value are
treated as "standard" loans. We determine whether your loan should be treated as
"preferred" or "standard" at the time it is made based on the cumulative amount
of outstanding loans at that time. A loan retains its character as "preferred"
or "standard" until it is repaid.
We charge interest on "preferred" and "standard" loans 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. We
currently credit interest to Account Value in the Loan Account on "preferred"
loans at the rate of 6.0% per year, compounded yearly. We currently credit
interest to Account Value in the Loan Account on "standard" loans at the rate of
5.85% per year, compounded yearly. However, with respect to "preferred" and
"standard" loans, to the extent permitted by law, we retain the right to credit
less, but never less than 5.5% per year, compounded yearly.
<PAGE>
The Owner is not required to repay the loan while the Insured is alive, except
when an amount is due to keep the Policy in force or upon reinstatement. The
amount of Debt is reduced by the amount of any loan repayment. Any standard loan
will be repaid before any preferred loan. A loan repayment is allocated to the
variable and fixed investment options pro-rata based on the Account Value in
each investment option as of the Valuation Period the loan repayment is
received.
The impact of a loan on the Account Value may be positive or negative. If the
Account value transferred to the Loan Account earns more than that earned in the
investment options, the loan will have a positive impact on the Account Value
and on the Required Death Benefit. If the Account value transferred to the Loan
Account earns less that that earned in the investment options, the loan will
have a negative impact on the Account Value and on the Required Death Benefit.
H. MISSTATEMENT
The Company will adjust the amount of the Death Proceeds to conform to the facts
if the age or gender of an Insured is incorrectly stated.
I. EXCHANGE FOR FIXED LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
Once the Policy is issued, it may be exchanged for a non-variable life insurance
policy on the life of the insured by allocating all of the Account Value to the
Fixed Allocation, which provides a guaranteed fixed interest rate supported by
American Skandia's general account. Such non-variable policy will be provided
without any evidence of insurability. American Skandia will not issue a new
contract. However, the Account Value will be limited to the fixed allocation.
The non-variable life insurance policy will have an amount at risk which is
equal to or less than the amount at risk on the date the Owner requests the
exchange. Additional premiums may be required at a later date. The Company
reserves the right to make available a new policy issued by itself or an
affiliated company.
