SUMMARY
This summary provides a brief overview of the more significant aspects of the
contract. The prospectus and the contract provide further detail. We do not
claim that the contract is similar or comparable to an investment plan of a
mutual fund. The contract and its attached application are the entire agreement
between you and Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company.
The contract provides insurance protection for the named beneficiary. It is a
modified endowment contract for federal income tax purposes, except in certain
circumstances described in Taxation of the Contracts. If you receive a loan,
distribution or other amounts, you will be taxed to the extent income has
accumulated in the contract. Death benefits are generally not subject to federal
income tax. See Taxation of the Contracts on page 36.
You will find definitions of special terms used in this prospectus in Appendix
E.
What is the Contract's Objective?
The objective of the contract is to give permanent life insurance protection and
to help you build assets on a tax-deferred basis. Benefits available through the
contract include:
a life insurance benefit that can protect your family or other heirs;
payment options that can guarantee an income for life;
a personalized investment portfolio you may tailor to meet your needs,
time frame and risk tolerance level;
experienced, professional investment advisers; and
tax deferral on earnings while your money is accumulating.
The contract combines features and benefits of traditional life insurance with
the advantages of professional money management. Unlike the fixed benefits of
ordinary life insurance, the contract value will increase or decrease depending
on investment results. Unlike traditional insurance policies, the contract has
no fixed schedule for payments.
Who Are the Key Persons Under the Contract?
The contract is a contract between you and us. Each contract has a contract
owner, you; the insured; and a beneficiary. As contract owner, you make the
payment, choose investment allocations and select the insured and beneficiary.
The insured is the person covered under the contract. The beneficiary is the
person who receives the net death benefit when the insured dies.
What Happens When the Insured Dies?
We will pay the net death benefit to the beneficiary when the insured dies while
the contract is in effect. If the contract was issued as a second-to-die
contract, the net death benefit will be paid on the death of the last surviving
insured.
Through the final payment date, the death benefit is the greater of:
the face amount (the amount of insurance determined by your payment); or
the minimum death benefit provided by the guideline minimum sum insured.
The net death benefit is the death benefit:
less any outstanding loan and monthly deductions due and unpaid through the
contract month in which the insured dies, as well as
any unpaid partial withdrawals, withdrawal transaction fees and applicable
surrender charges.
After the final payment date, if the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is not in
effect, the net death benefit is the guideline minimum sum insured:
less any outstanding loan, and any due and unpaid partial withdrawals,
withdrawal transaction fees and applicable surrender charges.
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect on the final payment date, a
guaranteed death benefit will be provided unless the rider is subsequently
terminated. The guaranteed death benefit will be the greater of:
the face amount as of the final payment date; or
the guideline minimum sum insured as of the date due proof of death is
received by us.
The net death benefit will be the death benefit reduced by any outstanding loan
through the contract month in which the insured dies. See Guaranteed Death
Benefit Rider on page 26. The rider may not be available in all jurisdictions.
The beneficiary may receive the net death benefit:
in a lump sum; or
under one of our benefit payment options.
Can I Examine the Contract?
Yes. You have the right to examine and cancel your contract by returning it to
us or to one of our representatives within 10 days, or such later date as
provided by state law, after you receive the contract.
If your contract provides for a full refund under its right to cancel provision
as required in your state, your refund will be your entire payment.
If your contract does not provide for a full refund, you will receive:
amounts allocated to the fixed account; plus
the value of the units in the separate account; plus
all fees, charges and taxes which have been imposed.
Your refund will be determined as of the valuation date that your written
request is received at our Variable Life Service Center.
What Are My Investment Choices?
The contract gives you an opportunity to select among a number of investment
options, including sub-accounts and a fixed account. The sub-accounts invest in
seventeen portfolios from eight mutual fund families, and offer a wide range of
investment objectives.
The available sub-accounts are as follows:
Alger American Income & Growth Alliance VPF Growth & Income Alliance
VPF Premier Growth Dreyfus VIF Capital Appreciation Dreyfus VIF Small
Cap Janus Aspen Series Balanced Janus Aspen Series Worldwide Growth MFS
VIT Emerging Growth MFS VIT Growth with Income MFS VIT Research MSDW UF
Fixed Income MSDW UF High Yield MSDW UF International Magnum OCC
Accumulation Trust Managed OCC Accumulation Trust Small Cap
Transamerica VIF Growth Transamerica VIF Money Market
This range of investment choices allows you to allocate your money among the
sub-accounts to meet your investment needs. You may allocate payments and value
among up to:
seventeen sub-accounts; and
the fixed account.
See Free Look Period on page 22.
If your contract provides for a full refund under its right to cancel provision
as required in your state, after the contract is issued by us we will allocate
all sub-account investments to the sub-account investing in the Money Market
portfolio of Transamerica Variable Insurance Fund, Inc., until the end of four
calendar days plus the number of days under the state free look period. This
period is usually 10 days, but longer under some circumstances. After this, we
will allocate all amounts to the sub-accounts as you have chosen.
The contract also offers a fixed account, which provides a guaranteed minimum
interest rate of 4% annually on amounts allocated to the fixed account. We may
declare a higher rate. The fixed account is part of the general account of
Transamerica. Amounts in the fixed account do not vary with the investment
performance of a portfolio.

Can I Make Transfers Among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account?
Yes. You may transfer contract value among the sub-accounts and the fixed
account, subject to our consent and then current rules. You will incur no
current taxes on transfers while your money is in the contract. You also may
elect automatic account rebalancing so that assets remain allocated according to
a desired mix or choose automatic dollar cost averaging to gradually move funds
into one or more sub-accounts.
The first 18 transfers of contract value in a contract year are free. A transfer
charge not to exceed $25 may apply for each additional transfer in the same
contract year. This charge is for the costs of processing the transfer.
How Much Can I Invest and How Often?
The contract requires a single payment of at least $10,000 on or before the date
of issue. Additional payments of at least $10,000 may be made as long as the
total payments do not exceed the maximum payment amount specified in the
contract. Additional payments may be accepted, subject to our underwriting
approval if the payment would increase the death benefit.
What If I Need My Money?
You may borrow up to the loan value of your contract. The maximum loan value is
90% of the result of the contract value less surrender charges. You may also
make partial withdrawals and you may surrender the contract for its surrender
value.
The guaranteed annual interest rate credited to the contract value securing a
loan will be at least 4.0%. However, any portion of the outstanding loan that is
a preferred loan will be credited interest at an annual rate not less than
5.50%.
We will allocate contract loans among the sub-accounts and the fixed account
according to your instructions. If you do not make an allocation, we will make a
pro rata allocation. We will transfer the portion of the contract value in each
sub-account equal to the contract loan to the fixed account.
You may surrender your contract and receive its surrender value. You may make
partial withdrawals of $1,000 or more from the contract value, subject to
partial withdrawal costs, including any applicable surrender charges. The face
amount is proportionately reduced by each partial withdrawal. We will not allow
a partial withdrawal if it would reduce the contract value below $10,000.
A loan, surrender or partial withdrawal may have tax consequences. See Taxation
of the Contracts.
Can I Make Future Changes Under My Contract?
Yes. There are several changes you can make after receiving your contract,
within limits. You may:
cancel your contract under its right to cancel provision;
transfer your ownership to someone else;
change the beneficiary;
change the allocation for any additional payment, with no federal income
tax consequences under current law;
make transfers of the contract value among the fixed account and the
sub-accounts, with no federal income taxes incurred under current law; and
add or remove certain optional insurance benefits provided by rider.
Can I Convert My Contract Into a Non-Variable Contract?
Yes. You can convert your contract without charge during the first 24 months
after the date of issue. On conversion, we will transfer the portion of the
contract value in the sub-accounts to the fixed account. We will allocate any
future payments to the fixed account, unless you instruct us otherwise.
What Charges Will I Incur Under My Contract?
The following charges will apply to your contract under the circumstances
described. Some of these charges apply throughout the contract's duration.
Through the final payment date or, for the distribution fee and the tax charge
only for the first ten contract years, we deduct the following monthly charges
from the contract value:
0.30% annually for the administrative expenses;
a deduction for the cost of insurance, which varies depending on the type
of contract and underwriting class. It is deducted on each monthly
processing date starting with the date of issue and continuing through the
final payment date;
0.40% annually for distribution expenses, deducted only during the first
ten contract years; and
0.20% annually for federal, state and local taxes, deducted only during
the first ten contract years.
The following daily charge is deducted from the separate account:
0.80% annually for the mortality and expense risks.
The following charges and fees apply if you exercise certain contract rights:
we may charge $25 for transfers in excess of 18 in a contract year;
we will charge for surrenders, and for partial withdrawals in excess of
the Free 10% Withdrawal amount, during the first nine contract years,
adjusted for reinstatements;
we may charge a withdrawal transaction fee for partial withdrawals, equal
to 2% of the amount withdrawn up to a $25 maximum. Currently, no charge is
imposed; and
we may charge up to $25 for each projection of values you request during a
contract year in excess of one projection of values in addition to your
annual statement.
There are also deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the
portfolios that are described in the accompanying prospectuses.
What Are the Expenses and Fees of the Portfolios?
In addition to the charges described above, certain management fees and other
expenses are deducted from the assets of the underlying portfolios. The levels
of fees and expenses vary among the portfolios. The following table shows the
management fees, other expenses and the total portfolio annual expenses of the
portfolios for 1998. For more information concerning these fees and expenses,

Transamerica may receive payments from some or all of the portfolios or their
advisers in varying amounts that may be based on the amount of assets allocated
to the portfolios. The payments are for administrative or distribution services.
Expense information regarding the portfolios has been provided by the
portfolios. We have no reason to doubt the accuracy of that information, but we
have not verified those figures. These figures are for the year ended December
31, 1998. Actual expenses in future years may be higher or lower than these
figures.
Notes to Portfolio Expenses table:
(1) From time to time, the portfolios' investment advisers, each in its own
discretion, may voluntarily waive all or part of their fees and/or
voluntarily assume certain portfolio expenses. The expenses shown in
the Portfolio Expenses table are the expenses paid for 1998. The
expenses shown in the table reflect a portfolio's adviser's waivers of
fees or reimbursement of expenses, if applicable. It is anticipated
that such waivers or reimbursements will continue for 1999. Without
such waivers or reimbursements, the annual expenses for 1998 for
certain portfolios would have been, as a percentage of assets, as
follows:

What Charges Will I Incur If I Surrender My Contract Or Make A Partial
Withdrawal?
The charges below apply only if you surrender your contract or make partial
withdrawals:
Surrender Charge - This charge applies on full surrenders within the first
nine contract years. The surrender charge begins at 9.00% of the payment(s)
withdrawn and decreases by 1% each contract year until it is 0% at the
start of the tenth contract year. If you reinstate your contract, however,
the surrender charges which will apply upon reinstatement are those which
were in effect on the date of default.
Partial Withdrawal Costs - We deduct from the contract value a surrender
charge on a withdrawal exceeding the Free 10% Withdrawal Amount on partial
withdrawals taken during the first nine contract years, adjusted as
applicable for reinstatements.
Currently, we do not impose a withdrawal transaction fee. We reserve the right,
however, to impose a withdrawal transaction fee equal to 2% of the amount
withdrawn, not to exceed $25, for each partial withdrawal taken.
What Are the Lapse and Reinstatement Provisions of My Contract?
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is not in effect on your contract, the
contract will lapse if, on a monthly processing date, the surrender value is
less than the monthly deductions due. If the contract lapses, you will have a
62-day grace period in which to pay the required premium. If sufficient premium
is not paid by the end of the grace period, the contract will terminate without
value.
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect on your contract, the
contract will not lapse. If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is terminated,
however, your contract may then lapse.
Additionally, whether the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is or is not in effect
on the contract, if the outstanding loan at any time exceeds the contract value
minus the surrender charges, the outstanding loan will be in default. If the
outstanding loan goes into default, you will have a 62-day grace period in which
to pay back the excess outstanding loan. If you do not pay back the excess
outstanding loan by the end of the grace period, the loan will be foreclosed and
the contract will terminate without value.
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect on the contract, the
Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider will terminate if the loan is foreclosed. Once
terminated, the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider may not be reinstated.
The rider may not be available in all jurisdictions.
Within limits, the contract may be reinstated within three years from the date
of default if it lapses or the outstanding loan is foreclosed.
How is My Contract Taxed?
The contract has been designed to be a modified endowment contract. However,
under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code an exchange of:
(1) a life insurance contract entered into before June 21, 1988; or
(2) a life insurance contract that is not itself a modified endowment contract
will not cause the contract to be treated as a modified endowment contract if no
additional payments are made and there is no increase in the death benefit as a
result of the exchange.
If the contract is considered a modified endowment contract, all distributions,
including contract loans, partial withdrawals, surrenders and assignments, will
be taxed on an income-out-first basis. Also, a 10% federal penalty tax may be
imposed on that part of a distribution that is includible in income. However,
the net death benefit under the contract is generally excludable from the gross
income of the beneficiary. In some circumstances, federal estate tax may apply
to the net death benefit or the contract value.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The contracts were first offered to the public in 1999. However, the Company may
advertise total return and average annual total return performance information
based on the periods that the portfolios have been in existence.
The portfolios are not available for purchase directly by the general public and
are not the same as mutual funds that may have similar names that are sold
directly to the public. There can be no assurance, and no representation is
made, that the investment performance of the portfolios will be comparable to a
fund with a similar name or same investment objective or adviser.
The results for any period prior to the contracts being offered will be
calculated as if the contracts had been offered during that period of time when
the portfolio was in existence, with all charges assumed to be those applicable
to the sub-accounts and the portfolios.
Total return and average annual total return are based on the hypothetical
profile of a representative contract owner and historical earnings and are not
intended to indicate future performance. Total return is the total income
generated net of certain expenses and charges. Average annual total return is
net of the same expenses and charges, but reflects the hypothetical return
compounded annually. This hypothetical return is equal to the cumulative return
had performance been constant over the entire period. Average annual total
returns are not the same as yearly results and tend to smooth out variations in
the portfolio's return.
Performance information under the contracts is net of portfolio expenses,
mortality and expense risk charges, monthly deductions and surrender charges. We
take a representative contract owner and assume that:
the insured is a male age 55, standard, non-tobacco user underwriting
class, issued under simplified underwriting guidelines;
the contract owner had allocations in each of the sub-accounts for the
portfolio durations shown; and
there was a full surrender at the end of the applicable period.
Performance information for any sub-account reflects only the performance of a
hypothetical investment in the sub-account during a period. It is not
representative of what may be achieved in the future. However, performance
information may be helpful in reviewing market conditions during a period and in
considering a portfolio's success in meeting its investment objectives.
We may compare performance information for a sub-account in reports and
promotional literature to:
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, the S&P 500;
Dow Jones Industrial Average, the DJIA;
Shearson Lehman Aggregate Bond Index;
other unmanaged indices of unmanaged securities widely regarded by
investors as representative of the securities markets;
other groups of variable life separate accounts or other investment
products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services;
other services, companies, publications, or persons such as Morningstar,
Inc., who rank the investment products on performance or other criteria;
and
the Consumer Price Index.
Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends but generally do not
reflect deductions for insurance and administrative charges, separate account
charges and portfolio management costs and expenses.
In advertising, sales literature, publications or other materials, we may give
information on various topics of interest to contract owners and prospective
contract owners. These topics may include:
the relationship between sectors of the economy and the economy as a whole
and its effect on various securities markets, investment strategies and
techniques, such as:
value investing,
market timing,
dollar cost averaging,
asset allocation, and
automatic account rebalancing;
the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-deferred and taxable
investments;
customer profiles and hypothetical payment and investment scenarios;
financial management and tax and retirement planning; and
investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and other financial
instruments, including comparisons between the contracts and the
characteristics of and market for the financial instruments.
At times, the Company may also advertise the ratings and other information
assigned to it by independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company
(A.M. Best), Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's), Standard & Poor's
Insurance Rating Services (S&P) and Duff & Phelps. A.M. Best's and Moody's
ratings reflect their current opinion of the Company's relative financial
strength and operating performance in comparison to the norms of the life/health
insurance industry. S&P and other ratings measure the ability of an insurance
company to meet its obligations under insurance policies it issues but do not
measure the ability of such companies to meet other non-policy obligations. The
ratings also do not relate to the performance of the portfolios.

The following performance information is based on the periods that the
portfolios have been in existence. The data is net of expenses of the
portfolios, all sub-account charges, and all contract charges, including
surrender charges, for a representative contract. It is assumed that the insured
is male, age 55, standard non-tobacco user, underwriting class; a single payment
of $25,000 was made; the contract was issued under simplified underwriting
criteria; the entire payment was allocated to each sub-account individually; and
there was a full surrender of the contract at the end of the applicable period.

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSAMERICA,
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND
THE PORTFOLIOS
Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company: Transamerica Occidental Life
Insurance Company, hereinafter referred to as Transamerica, is a stock life
insurance company incorporated under the laws of the State of California on June
30, 1906. Transamerica is principally engaged in the sale of life insurance and
annuity policies. The home office of Transamerica is 1150 South Olive Street,
Los Angeles, California 90015. Transamerica is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Transamerica Insurance Corporation of California, which in turn is a subsidiary
of Transamerica Corporation.
On February 18, 1999, Transamerica Corporation announced that it had signed a
merger agreement with AEGON N.V., one of the world's leading international
insurance groups, providing for AEGON's acquisition of all of Transamerica's
outstanding common stock for a combination of cash and AEGON stock worth $9.7
billion. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur during the summer
of 1999.
Insurance Marketplace Standards Association: In recent years, the insurance
industry has recognized the need to develop specific principles and practices to
help maintain the highest standards of marketplace behavior and enhance
credibility with consumers. As a result, the industry established the Insurance
Marketplace Standards Association (IMSA).
As an IMSA member, we agree to follow a set of standards in our advertising,
sales and service for individual life insurance and annuity products. The IMSA
logo, which you will see on our advertising and promotional materials,
demonstrates that we take our commitment to ethical conduct seriously.
The Separate Account: Transamerica Occidental Life Separate Account VUL-2, the
separate account, was established by us as a separate account under the laws of
the State of California, pursuant to resolutions adopted by our Board of
Directors on June 11, 1996. The separate account is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC or Commission) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, or 1940 Act, as a unit investment trust. It meets the
definition of a separate account under the federal securities laws. However, the
Commission does not supervise the management of the investment practices or
policies of the separate account.
The assets used to fund the variable part of the contracts are set aside in the
separate account. The assets of the separate account are owned by Transamerica,
but they are held separately from our other assets. Section 10506 of the
California Insurance Code provides that the assets of a separate account are not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business operation of the
insurance company, except to the extent provided in the contracts and policies.
Income, gains and losses incurred on the assets in the separate account, whether
or not realized, are credited to or charged against the separate account without
regard to our other income, gains or losses. Therefore, the investment
performance of the separate account is entirely independent of the investment
performance of our general account assets or any other separate account
maintained by us.
The separate account currently has seventeen sub-accounts available for
investment, each of which invests solely in a specific corresponding mutual fund
portfolio. Changes to the sub-accounts may be made at our discretion.
The Portfolios: The portfolios are open-end management investment companies or
portfolios of series, open-end management companies registered with the SEC
under the 1940 Act and are usually referred to as mutual funds. This SEC
registration does not involve SEC supervision of the investments or investment
policies of the portfolios. Shares of the portfolios are not offered to the
public but solely to the insurance company separate accounts and other qualified
purchasers as limited by federal tax laws.
These portfolios are not the same as mutual funds that may have very similar
names that are sold directly to the public. The assets of each portfolio are
held separate from the assets of the other portfolios. Each portfolio operates
as a separate investment vehicle. The income or losses of one portfolio have no
effect on the investment performance of another portfolio. The sub-accounts
reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions received from a portfolio
in more shares of that portfolio as retained assets.
The Sub-Accounts Available Under the
Contracts Invest in the Following
Portfolios:
The Income and Growth Portfolio of The Alger American Fund
The Growth and Income Portfolio and The Premier Growth Portfolio of the
Alliance Variable Products Series Fund, Inc.
The Capital Appreciation Portfolio and The Small Cap Portfolio of the Dreyfus
Variable Investment Fund
The Balanced Portfolio and The Worldwide Growth Portfolio of the Janus Aspen
Series
The Emerging Growth Series, The Growth with Income Series, and The Research
Series of the MFS Variable Insurance Trust
The Fixed Income Portfolio, The High Yield Portfolio, and The
International Magnum Portfolio of the MSDW Universal Funds, Inc.
The Managed Portfolio and The Small Cap Portfolio of the OCC Accumulation Trust
The Growth Portfolio and The Money Market Portfolio of the Transamerica
Variable Insurance Fund, Inc.
A summary of the investment objectives and policies of the portfolios is set
forth below. Before investing, read carefully the prospectuses of the portfolios
that accompany this prospectus. Statements of Additional Information for the
portfolios are available without charge by contacting our Variable Life Service
Center.
There is no guarantee that the investment objectives of the portfolios will be
achieved. The contract value may be more or less than the aggregate payments
made to the contract. The management fees listed below are fees specified in the
applicable advisory contract, that is, before any fee waivers. The portfolios'
prospectuses contain more detailed information on the portfolio's investment
objectives, restrictions, risks, expenses and advisers.
The Income and Growth Portfolio of The Alger American Fund seeks, primarily, a
high level of dividend income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective of
the portfolio. The portfolio invests in dividend paying equity securities, such
as common or preferred stocks, preferably those which the Manager believes also
offer opportunities for capital appreciation.
Manager: Fred Alger Management, Inc.
Management Fee: 0.625%.
The Growth and Income Portfolio of the Alliance Variable Products Series Fund,
Inc. seeks reasonable current income and reasonable opportunity for appreciation
through investments primarily in dividend-paying common stocks of good quality.
Whenever the economic outlook is unfavorable for investment in common stock,
investments in other types of securities, such as bonds, convertible bonds,
preferred stock and convertible preferred stocks may be made by the portfolio.
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are made at such times and in such
amounts as are deemed advisable in light of market, economic and other
conditions.
Adviser: Alliance Capital Management L.P. Management Fee: 0.625%.
The Premier Growth Portfolio of the Alliance Variable Products Series Fund, Inc.
seeks growth of capital by pursuing aggressive investment policies. Since
investments will be made based upon their potential for capital appreciation,
current income will be incidental to the objective of capital growth. The
portfolio will invest predominantly in the equity securities of a limited number
of large, carefully selected, high-quality U.S. companies that, in the judgment
of the adviser, are likely to achieve superior earnings growth. These equity
securities will consist of common stocks, securities convertible into common
stocks and rights and warrants to subscribe for or purchase common stocks. The
portfolio investments in the 25 such companies most highly regarded, at any
point in time by the adviser, will usually constitute approximately 70% of the
portfolio's net assets. The portfolio thus differs from more typical equity
mutual funds by investing most of its assets in a relatively small number of
intensively researched companies. The portfolio will, under normal
circumstances, invest at least 85% of the value of its total assets in the
equity securities of U.S. companies. Adviser: Alliance Capital Management L.P.
Management Fee: 1.00%.
The Capital Appreciation Portfolio of the Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund is a
diversified portfolio, the primary investment objective of which is to provide
long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital; current
income is a secondary investment objective. During periods which the sub-adviser
determines to be of market strength, the portfolio acts aggressively to increase
shareholder's capital by investing principally in common stocks of domestic and
foreign issuers, common stocks with warrants attached and debt securities of
foreign governments. The portfolio will seek investment opportunities generally
in large capitalization companies, those with market capitalizations exceeding
$500 million, which the sub-adviser believes have the potential to experience
above average and predictable earnings growth.
Adviser: The Dreyfus Corporation.
Sub-Adviser: Fayez Sarofim & Co.
Management Fee: 0.75%.
The Small Cap Portfolio of the Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund seeks to
maximize capital appreciation by investing principally in common stocks of
domestic and foreign issuers. Under normal market conditions, the portfolio will
invest at least 65% of its total assets in companies with market capitalizations
of less than $1.5 billion at the time of purchase. Companies selected for this
portfolio will include those thought to possess new or innovative products or
services which are expected to propel growth in future earnings.
Adviser: The Dreyfus Corporation.
Management Fee: 0.75%.
The Balanced Portfolio of the Janus Aspen Series seeks long-term capital growth,
consistent with preservation of capital and balanced by current income. It is a
diversified portfolio that, under normal circumstances, pursues its objective by
investing 40-60% of its assets in securities selected primarily for their growth
potential and 40-60% of its assets in securities selected primarily for their
income potential. This portfolio normally invests at least 25% of its assets in
fixed-income senior securities, which include debt securities and preferred
stocks.
Adviser: Janus Capital Corporation.
Management Fee: 0.75% of the first $300 million plus 0.70% of the next $200
million plus 0.65% of the assets over $500 million.
The Worldwide Growth Portfolio of the Janus Aspen Series seeks long-term growth
of capital in a manner consistent with the preservation of capital. It is a
diversified portfolio that pursues its objective primarily through investments
in common stocks of foreign and domestic issuers. The portfolio has the
flexibility to invest on a worldwide basis in companies and other organizations
of any size, regardless of country of organization or place of principal
business activity. The portfolio normally invests in issuers from at least five
different countries, including the United States. The portfolio may at times
invest in fewer than five countries or even a single country.
Adviser: Janus Capital Corporation. Management Fee: 0.75% of the first $300
million plus 0.70% of the next $200 million plus 0.65% of the assets over $500
million.
The Emerging Growth Series of the MFS Variable Insurance Trust will seek
long-term growth of capital. The series invests, under normal market conditions,
at least 65% of its total assets in common stocks and related securities, such
as preferred stocks, convertible securities and depositary receipts for those
securities of emerging growth companies. These companies are companies that the
series' adviser believes are either early in their life cycle but have the
potential to become major enterprises or are major enterprises whose rates of
earnings growth are expected to accelerate.
Adviser: Massachusetts Financial Services Company.
Management Fee: 0.75%.
The Growth with Income Series of the MFS Variable Insurance Trust will seek
long-term growth of capital and future income while providing more current
dividend income than is normally obtainable from a portfolio of only growth
stocks. The series invests, under normal market conditions, at least 65% of its
total assets in common stock and related securities, such as preferred stocks,
convertible securities and depositary receipts for those securities. While the
fund may invest in companies of any size, the fund generally focuses on
companies with larger market capitalizations that the series' adviser believes
have sustainable growth prospects and attractive valuations based on current and
expected earnings or cash flow.
Adviser: Massachusetts Financial Services Company.
Management Fee: 0.75%.
The Research Series of the MFS Variable Insurance Trust will seek to provide
long-term growth of capital and future income. The series invests, under normal
market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks and related
securities, such as preferred stocks, convertible securities and depositary
receipts. The series focuses on companies that the series' adviser believes have
favorable prospects for long-term growth, attractive valuations based on current
and expected earnings or cash flow, dominant or growing market share and
superior management.
Adviser: Massachusetts Financial Services Company.
Management Fee: 0.75%.
The Fixed Income Portfolio of the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Universal Funds,
Inc., seeks above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five
years by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of U.S. government and
agency bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage backed securities, foreign bonds and
other fixed income securities and derivatives. The portfolio invests primarily
in investment grade securities, but may also invest a portion of its assets in
high yield securities, also known as junk bonds. The portfolio's average
weighted maturity will ordinarily exceed five years.
Adviser: Miller Anderson & Sherrerd, LLP. Management Fee: 0.50% of the first
$500 million plus 0.35% of the next $500 million plus 0.30% of the assets over
$1 billion.
The High Yield Portfolio of the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Universal Funds,
Inc., seeks above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five
years by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high yield securities
of U. S. and foreign issuers (including emerging markets), including corporate
bonds and other fixed income securities and derivatives. High yield securities
are rated below investment grade and are commonly referred to as "junk bonds."
The portfolio's average weighted maturity will ordinarily exceed five years.
Adviser: MSDW Investment Management Inc. Management Fee: 0.80% of the first $500
million plus 0.75% of the next $500 million plus 0.70% of the assets over $1

in which the portfolio will invest are those comprising the Morgan Stanley
Capital International EAFE Index, which includes Australia, Japan, New Zealand,
most nations located in Western Europe and certain developed countries in Asia,
such as Hong Kong and Singapore. Collectively, we refer to these as the EAFE
countries. The portfolio may invest up to 5% of its total assets in securities
of issuers domiciled in non-EAFE countries. Under normal circumstances, at least
65% of the total assets of the portfolio will be invested in equity securities
of issuers in at least three different EAFE countries.
Adviser: MSDW Investment Management Inc. Management Fee: 0.80% of the first $500
million plus 0.75% of the next $500 million plus 0.70% of the assets over $1
billion.
The Managed Portfolio of the OCC Accumulation Trust seeks growth of capital over
time through investment in a portfolio consisting of common stocks, bonds and
cash equivalents, the percentages of which will vary based on the adviser's
assessments of the relative outlook for such investments. Debt securities are
expected to be predominantly investment grade intermediate to long term U.S.
Government and corporate debt, although the portfolio will also invest in high
quality short term money market and cash equivalent securities and may invest
almost all of its assets in such securities when the adviser deems it advisable
in order to preserve capital. In addition, the portfolio may also purchase
foreign securities provided that they are listed on a domestic or foreign
securities exchange or are represented by American depository receipts listed on
a domestic securities exchange or traded in domestic or foreign over-the-counter
markets.
Adviser: OpCap Advisors. Management Fee: 0.80% of the first $400 million plus
0.75% of the next $400 million plus 0.70% of the assets over $800 million.

traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or in the
over-the-counter market, and will also include options, warrants, bonds, notes
and debentures which are convertible into or exchangeable for, or which grant a
right to purchase or sell, such securities. In addition, the portfolio may also
purchase foreign securities provided that they are listed on a domestic or
foreign securities exchange or are represented by American depository receipts
listed on a domestic securities exchange or traded in domestic or foreign
over-the-counter markets.
Adviser: OpCap Advisors.

million plus 0.70% of assets over

The Growth Portfolio of the Transamerica Variable Insurance Fund, Inc. seeks
long-term capital growth. Common stock, listed and unlisted, is the basic form
of investment. The Growth Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks of growth
companies that are considered by the sub-adviser to be premier companies. In the
sub-adviser's view, characteristics of premier companies include one or more of
the following: dominant market share; leading brand recognition; proprietary
products or technology; low-cost production capability; and excellent management
with shareholder orientation. The sub-adviser of the portfolio believes in
long-term investing and places great emphasis on the sustainability of the above
competitive advantages. Unless market conditions indicate otherwise, the
sub-adviser also tries to keep the portfolio fully invested in equity-type
securities and does not try to time stock market movements. When in the judgment
of the sub-adviser market conditions warrant, the portfolio may, for temporary
defensive purposes, hold part or all of its assets in cash, debt or money market
instruments. The portfolio may invest up to 10% of its assets in debt securities
having a call on common stocks that are rated below investment grade.

the U. S. and foreign governments and their agencies and instrumentalities;
obligations of U. S. and foreign banks, or their foreign branches, and U. S.
savings banks; short-term corporate obligations, including commercial paper,
notes and bonds; other short-term debt obligations with remaining maturities of
397 days or less; and repurchase agreements involving any of the securities
mentioned above. The portfolio may also purchase other marketable,
non-convertible corporate debt securities of U. S. issuers. These investments
include bonds, debentures, floating rate obligations, and issues with optional
maturities.
Adviser: Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company.
Sub-Adviser: Transamerica Investment Services, Inc.

The portfolios are open-end management investment companies or portfolios of
series, open-end management companies registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act
that are often referred to as mutual funds. This SEC registration does not
involve SEC supervision of the investments or investment policies of the
portfolios. Shares of the portfolios are not offered to the public but solely to
the insurance company separate accounts and other qualified purchasers as
limited by federal tax laws. These portfolios are not the same as mutual funds
that may have very similar names that are sold directly to the public. The
assets of each portfolio are held separate from the assets of the other
portfolios. Each portfolio operates as a separate investment vehicle. The income
or losses of one portfolio have no effect on the investment performance of
another portfolio. The sub-accounts reinvest dividends and/or capital gains
distributions received from a portfolio in more shares of that portfolio as
retained assets.
THE CONTRACT
Applying For A Contract
Individuals wishing to purchase a contract must complete an application. We
offer contracts to individuals 89 years old and under. For applications for
second-to-die contracts, both proposed insureds must be 89 years old or under.
After receiving a completed application from a prospective contract owner, we
will begin underwriting to decide the insurability of the proposed insured. We
may require medical examinations and other information before deciding
insurability. We issue a contract only after underwriting has been completed. We
may reject an application that does not meet our underwriting guidelines.
A prospective contract owner may make a payment at the time the application is
completed. The payment must be at least $10,000 and at least 80% of the
guideline single premium for the face amount requested. Under these
circumstances, we will issue a conditional receipt which provides fixed
conditional insurance, but not until after all its conditions are met. Included
in these conditions are the completion of both parts of the application, to the
extent required by our underwriting guidelines, completion of all underwriting
requirements, and the proposed insured must be insurable under Transamerica's
rules for insurance under the contract, in the amount, and in the underwriting
class applied for in the application. After all conditions are met, the amount
of fixed conditional insurance provided by the conditional receipt will be the
amount applied for, up to a maximum of $250,000 for persons age 16 to 65 and
insurable in a standard underwriting class, and up to $100,000 for all other
ages and underwriting classes.
If you made the initial payment before the date we approve the application, we
will allocate the payment to our fixed account within two business days of
receipt of the payment at our Variable Life Service Center. If we are unable to
issue the contract, the payment will be returned to you without interest.
If your application is approved and the contract is issued, we will allocate
your contract value within two days of the date we approve your application
according to your allocation instructions. However, if your contract provides
for a full refund of payments under its right to cancel provision as required in
your state, we will initially allocate your sub-account investments to the
sub-account investing in the Money Market Portfolio. We will reallocate all
amounts according to your investment choices no later than the expiration of
four calendar days plus the number of days under the state free look period.
This period usually lasts for 10 days, but is longer in some circumstances. See
THE CONTRACT - Free Look Right to Cancel.
If your initial payment is equal to the amount of the guideline single premium,
the contract will be issued with the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider at no
additional cost. If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect on the final
payment date, a guaranteed net death benefit will be provided thereafter unless
the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is subsequently terminated. The Guaranteed
Death Benefit Rider may not be available in all jurisdictions.
Free Look Period
The contract provides for a free look period under the right to cancel
provision. You have the right to examine and cancel your contract by returning
it to us or to one of our representatives on or before the tenth day, or such
later date as required in your state, after you receive the contract.
If your contract provides for a full refund under its right to cancel provision
as required in your state, your refund will be your entire payment. If your
contract does not provide for a full refund, you will receive:
amounts allocated to the fixed account; plus
the contract value in the sub-accounts; plus
all fees, charges and taxes which have been imposed.
We may delay a refund of any payment made by check until the check has cleared
your bank. Your refund will be determined as of the valuation date that the
contract is received at our Variable Life Service Center.
Conversion Privilege
Within 24 months of the date of issue, you can convert your contract into a
non-variable contract by transferring all contract value in the sub-accounts to
the fixed account. The conversion will take effect at the end of the valuation
period in which we receive, at our Variable Life Service Center, notice of the
conversion satisfactory to us. There is no charge for this conversion. We will
allocate any future payments to the fixed account, unless you instruct us
otherwise.
Payments
The contracts are designed for a large single payment to be paid by you on or
before the date of issue. The minimum initial payment is $10,000. The initial
payment is used to determine the face amount. The face amount will be determined
by treating the payment as equal to 100% of the guideline single premium except
as provided below.
You also indicate the desired face amount on the application. If the face amount
specified exceeds 100% of the guideline single premium for the payment amount,
the application will be amended and a contract with a higher face amount will be
issued. If the face amount specified is less than 80% of the guideline single
premium for the payment amount, the application will be amended and a contract
with a lower face amount will be issued. You must agree to any amendment to the
application.
Under our underwriting rules, the face amount must be based on 100% of the
guideline single premium to be eligible for simplified underwriting and to
qualify for the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider.
Payments are payable to us. Payments may be made by mail to our Variable Life
Service Center or through our authorized representative. Any additional payment,
after the initial payment, is credited to the sub-accounts or fixed account on
the date of receipt at our Variable Life Service Center.
The contract limits the ability to make additional payments. Any additional
payments may not cause total payments to exceed the maximum payment on the
specifications pages of your contract. Additional payments may be accepted by us
subject to our underwriting approval if the payment would increase the amount of
the death benefit. No additional payment may be less than $10,000 without our
consent except as necessary to keep a contract in force.
Total payments may not exceed the current maximum payment limits under federal
tax law. Where total payments would exceed the current maximum payment limits,
we will only accept that part of a payment that will make total payments equal
the maximum. We will return any part of a payment that is greater than that
amount. However, we will accept a payment needed to prevent contract lapse
during a contract year.
Allocation of Payments
In the application for your contract, you decide the initial allocation of the
payment among the sub-accounts and the fixed account. You may allocate the
payment to one or more of the sub-accounts and/or the fixed account. You may
allocate payment among up to seventeen sub-accounts, plus the fixed account. The
minimum amount that you may allocate to a sub-account or to the fixed account
without our consent is 5.0% of the payment. Allocation percentages must be in
whole numbers (for example, 33 1/3% may not be chosen) and must total 100%.
You may change the allocation of any future payment by written request or
telephone request. You have the privilege to make telephone requests, unless you
elected not to have the privilege on the application. The policy of the Company
and its representatives and affiliates is that they will not be responsible for
losses resulting from acting on telephone requests reasonably believed to be
genuine. We will use reasonable methods to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine; otherwise, the Company may be liable for
any losses from unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We require that callers
on behalf of a contract owner identify themselves by name and identify the
contract owner by name, date of birth and social security number. All telephone
requests are tape recorded. An allocation change will take effect on the date of
receipt of the notice at our Variable Life Service Center.
The contract value in the sub-accounts will vary with investment experience. You
bear this investment risk. Investment performance may also affect the death
benefit. Review your allocations of contract value as market conditions and your
financial planning needs change.
Transfer Privilege
At any time before the election of a benefit payment option, subject to our then
current rules, you may transfer amounts among the sub-accounts or between a
sub-account and the fixed account. You may not transfer that portion of the
contract value held in the fixed account that secures a contract loan.
We will make transfers at your written request or telephone request, as
described in THE CONTRACT - Allocation of Payments. Transfers are effected at
the value next computed after receipt of the transfer order.
The first 18 transfers in a contract year are free. After that, we may deduct a
transfer charge, not to exceed $25, from amounts transferred on each additional
transfer in that contract year.
Transfers involving the fixed account are currently allowed only if:
there has been at least a ninety day period since the last transfer from
the fixed account; and
the amount transferred from the fixed account in each transfer does not
exceed the lesser of $100,000 or 25% of the contract value.
These limitations do not apply to automatic transfers from the fixed account you
elect to make under the dollar cost averaging option.
You may apply for automatic transfers under either the dollar cost averaging, or
DCA, option, or the automatic account rebalancing, or AAR, option, by submitting
your written request to our Variable Life Service Center. Transfers under either
DCA or AAR are generally effective on the 15th day of each scheduled month. If
your written request is received by us prior to the 15th of the month, your
option may begin as early as the 15th of the month in which we receive your
request. Otherwise, your option may begin as early as the 15th of the following
month. You may cancel your election of an option by written request at any time
with regard to future transfers. The DCA option and the AAR option may not be in
effect at the same time on your contract. If you elect one option and, at a
later date, submit written request for the other option, your new written
request will be honored, and the previously elected option will be automatically
terminated.
Dollar Cost Averaging or DCA
This option allows you to systematically transfer a set dollar amount from a
source account you select for your contract on a monthly, quarterly, or
semi-annual basis to one or more sub-accounts. You may choose either the Money
Market sub-account or the fixed account as your source account. The minimum
amount of each DCA transfer from the source account is $100, and you may not
have value in more than seventeen sub-accounts. The DCA option is designed to
reduce the risk of your purchasing units only when the price of the units is
high, but you should carefully consider your financial ability to continue the
option over a long enough period of time to purchase units when their value is
low as well as when they are high. The DCA option does not assure a profit or
protect against a loss. The DCA option will terminate automatically when the
value of your source account is depleted.
There is no additional charge for electing the DCA option. Transfers to the
fixed account are not permitted under the DCA option. Transfers from the fixed
account as the source account will not be subject to the limitations on
transfers from the fixed account. We reserve the right to terminate the DCA
option at any time and for any reason.
The first automatic transfer for the elected DCA option counts as one transfer
toward the 18 free transfers allowed in each contract year. Each subsequent
automatic transfer for the elected option is free, and does not reduce the
remaining number of transfers that are free in a contract year.
Automatic Account Rebalancing or AAR
Once your payments and requested transfers have been allocated among your
sub-account choices, the performance of each sub-account may cause your
allocation to shift such that the relative value of one or more sub-accounts is
no longer consistent with your overall objectives. Under the AAR option, the
balances in your selected sub-accounts can be restored to the allocation
percentages you elect on your written request by transferring values among the
sub-accounts. You may not have value in more than seventeen sub-accounts.
The minimum percentage allocation for each selected sub-account without our
consent is 5%, and percentage allocations must be in whole numbers. The AAR
option is available on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The minimum
total amount of the transfers under the AAR option is $100 per scheduled date.
If the total transfer amount would be less than $100, no transfer will occur on
that scheduled date. The AAR option does not guarantee a profit or protect
against a loss.
There is no additional charge for electing the AAR option. Transfers to or from
the fixed account are not permitted under the AAR option. We reserve the right
to terminate the AAR option at any time and for any reason.
The first automatic transfer for the elected AAR option counts as one transfer
toward the 18 free transfers allowed in each contract year. Each subsequent
automatic transfer for the elected option is free, and does not reduce the
remaining number of transfers that are free in a contract year.
The following transfers will not count toward the 18 free transfers:
any transfers made for a conversion privilege;
transfers to or from the Money Market sub-account during the free-look
period if your contract provides for a full refund of payments under the
free-look provision;
transfers because of a contract loan or a contract loan repayment; and
transfers because of a material change in investment policy.
Transfer Privileges Subject to Possible Limits
All of the transfer privileges described above are subject to our consent. We
reserve the right to impose limits on transfers including, but not limited to,
the:
minimum amount that may be transferred;
minimum amount that may remain in a sub-account following a transfer from
that sub-account;
minimum period between transfers involving the fixed account; and
maximum amounts that may be transferred from the fixed account.
These rules are subject to change by the Company.
Death Benefit
If the contract is in force on the date the insured dies, we will, with due
proof of death, pay the net death benefit to the named beneficiary. For
second-to-die contracts, the net death benefit is payable on the death of the
last surviving insured. There is no death benefit payable on the death of the
first insured to die. We will normally pay the net death benefit within seven
days of receiving due proof of the insured's death, but we may delay payment of
net death benefits. The beneficiary may receive the net death benefit in a lump
sum or under a benefit payment option, unless the benefit payment option has
been restricted by the contract owner. The net death benefit is the amount of
the death benefit reduced by certain amounts, as described below. The amount of
the death benefit in some instances depends on whether the Guaranteed Death
Benefit Rider is in effect on the contract at the time of the insured's death.
Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider
May not be available in all jurisdictions. If at the time of issue the contract
owner has made payments equal to 100% of the guideline single premium, a
Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider will be added to the contract at no additional
charge, if the rider is available in your state. The contract will not lapse
while the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in force. The Guaranteed Death
Benefit Rider will terminate and may not be reinstated on the first to occur of:
foreclosure of the outstanding loan,
a request for a partial withdrawal or a loan after the final payment date,
or
your written request to terminate the rider.
Death Benefit and Net Death Benefit
Through the final payment date, the death benefit is equal to the greater of:
the face amount, or
the guideline minimum sum insured.
Through the final payment date, the net death benefit is:
the death benefit, minus
any outstanding loan and monthly deductions due and unpaid through the
contract month in which the insured dies, as well as any unpaid partial
withdrawals, withdrawal transaction fees, and applicable surrender charges.
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect on the final payment date,
and is not subsequently terminated, then the death benefit after the final
payment date is the greater of:
the face amount on the final payment date, or
the guideline minimum sum insured as of the date due proof of death is
received by us.
The net death benefit after the final payment date if the Guaranteed Death
Benefit Rider is in effect is:
the death benefit, minus
any outstanding loan, through the month in which the insured dies.
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is not in effect, then the death benefit
after the final payment date is the guideline minimum sum insured as of the date
due proof of death is received by us.
The net death benefit after the final payment date if the Guaranteed Death
Benefit Rider is not in effect is:
the death benefit, minus
any outstanding loan, through the month in which the insured dies, as well
as any unpaid partial withdrawals, withdrawal transaction fees, and
applicable surrender charges.
Guideline Minimum Sum Insured
The guideline minimum sum insured is a percentage of the contract value as set
forth in Appendix A - Guideline Minimum Sum Insured. The guideline minimum sum
insured is computed based on federal income tax regulations to ensure that the
contract qualifies as a life insurance contract and that the insurance proceeds
generally will be excluded from the gross income of the beneficiary.
Illustration
In this illustration, assume that the insured is under the age of 40, and that
there is no outstanding loan.
A contract with a $100,000 face amount will have a death benefit of at least
$100,000. However, because the death benefit must be equal to or greater than
265% of contract value, if the contract value exceeds $37,736 the death benefit
will exceed the $100,000 face amount. In this example, each dollar of contract
value above $37,736 will increase the death benefit by $2.65. For example, a
contract with a contract value of $50,000 will have a guideline minimum sum
insured of $132,500 ($50,000 X 2.65); contract value of $60,000 will produce a
guideline minimum sum insured of $159,000 ($60,000 X 2.65); and contract value
of $75,000 will produce a guideline minimum sum insured of $198,750 ($75,000 X
2.65).
Similarly, if the contract value exceeds $37,736, each dollar taken out of the
contract value will reduce the death benefit by $2.65. If, for example, the
contract value is reduced from $60,000 to $50,000 because of partial
withdrawals, charges or negative investment performance, the death benefit will
be reduced from $159,000 to $132,500. If, however, the contract value multiplied
by the applicable percentage from the table in Appendix A is less than the face
amount, the death benefit will equal the face amount.
The applicable percentage becomes lower as the insured's age increases. If the
insured's age in the above example were, for example, 50, rather than between
zero and 40, the applicable percentage would be 200%. The death benefit would
not exceed the $100,000 face amount unless the contract value exceeded $50,000,
rather than $37,736, and each dollar then added to or taken from contract value
would change the death benefit by $2.00.
Option to Accelerate Death Benefits
(Living Benefits Rider)
Subject to state law and approval, you may elect to add the Option to Accelerate
Death Benefits, (Living Benefits Rider) to your contract. This rider is only
available for contracts providing insurance coverage on a single life. The rider
is not available on second-to-die contracts. There is no direct charge for this
rider. The rider allows you to receive a portion of the net death benefit while
the insured is alive, subject to the conditions of the rider. You may submit a
written request to receive the living benefit under this rider if the contract
is in force and a qualified physician certifies that the insured has an illness
or physical condition which is likely to result in the insured's death within 12
months. You may receive the living benefit either in a single sum or in 12 equal
payments. The option may only be exercised once under the contract.
The amount you may receive is based on the option amount. The option amount is
the portion of the death benefit you elect to apply under the rider as an
accelerated death benefit. The option amount must be at least $25,000 and may
not exceed the smallest of:
one-half of the death benefit on the date the option is elected; or
the amount that would reduce the face amount to our current minimum issue limit;
or
$250,000.
The living benefit is the lump sum benefit under this rider and is the amount
used to determine the monthly benefit under the rider. It is the actuarially
calculated present value of the option amount adjusted to reflect the actuarial
present value of lost future mortality charges and to reflect any outstanding
loans. The methodology used in this calculation is on file with state
departments of insurance, where required. Subject to state law, an expense
charge of $150 will be deducted from the contract value if you exercise the
option under this rider.
If you elect to exercise this option, your contract will be affected as follows:
a portion of the outstanding loan will be deducted from the living
benefit, while the remaining outstanding loan will continue in force;
the contract's death benefit will be decreased by the option amount; and
the contract value will be reduced in the same proportion as the reduction
in the death benefit.
The portion of the outstanding loan which will be deducted from the living
benefit will equal the outstanding loan times the option amount divided by the
death benefit.
There will be no surrender charges assessed on the reduction in contract value.
If you elect to exercise this option, we will provide you with a written
statement of the effect exercising this option will have on the values in your
contract, including the effect on the outstanding loan amount, the death
benefit, and the surrender value. We will not distribute the living benefit to
you until you authorize the distribution after we have provided this written
statement.
The rider is intended to provide a qualified accelerated death benefit that is
excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Whether any tax
liability may be incurred, however, depends upon a number of factors. The rider
may not be available in all jurisdictions.
Contract Value
The contract value is the total value of your contract. It is the sum of:
your accumulation in the fixed account; plus
the value of your units in the sub-accounts.
There is no guaranteed minimum contract value. The contract value on any date
depends on variables that cannot be predetermined.
Your contract value is affected by the:
amount of your payments;
interest credited in the fixed account;
investment performance of the sub-accounts you select;
partial withdrawals;
loans, loan repayments and loan interest paid or credited; and
charges and deductions under the contract.
Computing Contract Value
We compute the contract value on the date of issue and on each valuation date.
On the date of issue, the contract value is:
your payment plus any interest earned during the period it was allocated to
the fixed; minus
the monthly deductions due.
On each valuation date after the date of issue, the contract value is the sum
of:
accumulations in the fixed account; plus
the sum of the products of:
the number of units in each sub-account; times
the value of a unit in each sub-account on the valuation date.
The Unit
We allocate each payment to the sub-accounts you selected. We credit allocations
to the sub-accounts as units. Units are credited separately for each
sub-account.
The number of units of each sub-account credited to the contract is the quotient
of:
that part of the payment allocated to the sub-account; divided by
the dollar value of a unit on the valuation date the payment is received
at our Variable Life Service Center. For payments received before the end
of the free-look period for your contract, however, different rules may
apply.
The number of units will remain fixed unless changed by a split of unit value,
transfer, transfer charge, loan, partial withdrawal or surrender. Also, monthly
deductions taken from a sub-account will result in cancellation of units equal
in value to the amount deducted.
The dollar value of a unit of a sub-account varies from valuation date to
valuation date based on the investment experience of that sub-account. This
investment experience reflects the investment performance, expenses and charges
of the portfolio in which the sub-account invests. The value of each unit was
set at $10.00 on the first valuation date of each sub-account, except that the
value for the Money Market sub-account was set at $1.00.
The value of a unit on any valuation date is the product of:
the dollar value of the unit on the preceding valuation date; times
the net investment factor.
<PAGE>
Net Investment Factor
The net investment factor measures the investment performance of a sub-account
during the valuation period just ended. The net investment factor for each
sub-account is the result of:
the net asset value per share of a portfolio held in the sub-account
determined at the end of the current valuation period; plus
the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by
the portfolio on shares in the sub-account if the ex-dividend date occurs
during the current valuation period; divided by
the net asset value per share of a portfolio share held in the sub-account
determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period; minus
the mortality and expense risk charge for each day in the valuation period
at an annual rate of 0.80% of the daily net asset value of that
sub-account.
The net investment factor may be more or less than one.
Benefit Payment Options
The net death benefit payable may be paid in a single sum or under one or more
of the benefit payment options then offered by the Company. Benefit payment
options are paid from the general account and are not based on the investment
experience of the separate account. These benefit payment options also are
available at the maturity date or if the contract is surrendered. If no election
is made, we will pay the net death benefit in a single sum.
Optional Insurance Benefits
You may add an optional insurance benefit to the contract by rider, as described
in Appendix B - Optional Insurance Benefits. The cost of optional insurance
benefits, if any, becomes part of the monthly deductions. All riders may not be
available in all jurisdictions, and the names of the riders may vary by
jurisdiction.
Surrender
You may surrender the contract and receive its surrender value. The surrender
value is:
the contract value; minus
any outstanding loan and surrender charges.
We will compute the surrender value on the valuation date on which we receive
your written request for surrender. We will deduct a surrender charge if you
surrender the contract within nine full contract years of the date of issue. If
you reinstate your contract, however, your surrender charges upon reinstatement
will be the charges which applied on the date of default, and contract years
will be adjusted accordingly. The surrender value may be paid in a lump sum or
under a benefit payment option then offered by us. We will normally pay the
surrender value within seven days following our receipt of your written request.
We may delay benefit payments under the circumstances described in OTHER
CONTRACT PROVISIONS - Delay of Benefit Payments.
The surrender value will generally be includible in gross income to the extent
that the surrender value plus any outstanding loan at the time of surrender
exceeds the tax basis in the contract. In addition, if the contract is a
modified endowment contract, or MEC, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply to the
taxable portion of the surrender value if the contract owner is less than 59 1/2
years old at the time of the distribution. See Taxation of the Contracts for
important information about surrenders.
Partial Withdrawal
You may withdraw part of the contract value on written request. Your written
request must state the dollar amount you wish to receive. You may allocate the
amount withdrawn among the sub-accounts and the fixed account. If you do not
provide allocation instructions, we will make a pro rata allocation. Each
partial withdrawal must be at least $1,000. We will not allow a partial
withdrawal if it would reduce the contract value below $10,000. The face amount
is reduced proportionately based on the ratio of the amount of the partial
withdrawal plus withdrawal transaction fees and applicable surrender charges to
the contract value on the date of withdrawal.
On a partial withdrawal from a sub-account, we will cancel the number of units
equal in value to the amount withdrawn. The amount withdrawn will be the amount
you requested plus the withdrawal transaction fee plus the applicable surrender
charges. We will normally pay the partial withdrawal within seven days following
our receipt of the written request. We may delay payment as described in OTHER
CONTRACT PROVISIONS - Delay of Benefit Payments.
If the contract is considered a modified endowment contract or MEC, a partial
withdrawal will be includible in gross income on an income-out-first basis.
Additionally, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply to the taxable portion of a
partial withdrawal if the contract owner is less than 59 1/2 years old at the
time of the distribution. See Taxation of the Contracts for important
information about partial withdrawals.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
The following charges will apply to your contract under the circumstances
described. Some of these charges apply throughout the contract's duration.
Monthly Deductions
On the monthly processing date, we will deduct an amount to cover charges and
expenses incurred in connection with the contract. No monthly deductions will be
taken after the final payment date or, for the distribution fee and the tax
charge, after the end of the tenth contract year. This monthly deduction will be
deducted by subtracting values from the fixed account accumulation and/or
canceling units from each applicable sub-account in the ratio that the portion
of the contract value in the sub-account bears to the contract value. The amount
of the monthly deduction will vary from month to month. If the contract value is
not sufficient to cover the monthly deduction which is due, the contract may
lapse.
The monthly deduction is comprised of the following charges:
Administration Charge: We impose a monthly charge at an annual rate of 0.30% of
the contract value. This charge is to reimburse us for administrative expenses
incurred in the administration of the contract. It is not expected to be a
source of profit.
Monthly Insurance Protection Charge: Immediately after the contract is issued,
the death benefit will be greater than the payment. While the contract is in
force, the death benefit generally will be greater than the payments. To enable
us to pay this excess of the death benefit over the contract value, a monthly
cost of insurance charge is deducted. This charge varies depending on the type
of contract and the underwriting class of the insured. In no event will the
current deduction for the cost of insurance exceed the guaranteed maximum
insurance protection rates set forth in the contract. These guaranteed rates are
based on the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables (age last
birthday), tobacco user or non-tobacco user, and the insured's sex (Mortality
Table B for unisex contracts and Mortality Table D for second-to-die contracts)
and age. There are appropriate adjustments in the rates for non-standard
ratings. The tables used for this purpose set forth different mortality
estimates for males and females and for tobacco user and non-tobacco user. Any
change in the insurance protection rates will apply to all insureds of the same
age, sex and underwriting class whose contracts have been in force for the same
period.
The underwriting class of an insured will affect the insurance protection rate.
We currently place insureds into standard underwriting classes and non-standard
underwriting classes. The underwriting classes are also divided into two
categories: tobacco user and non-tobacco user. We will place insureds under the
age of 18 at the date of issue in a standard or non-standard underwriting class.
We will then classify the insured as a non-tobacco user when the insured reaches
age 18.
We also charge different current monthly insurance protection rates depending
upon whether the contract was issued based on simplified underwriting criteria
or, instead, was issued based on full underwriting. For example, the rates
charged for a standard, non-tobacco user underwriting class will differ between
individuals in that class covered under contracts issued on a simplified
underwriting basis compared to individuals in that class covered under contracts
issued on a fully underwritten basis. Simplified underwriting applies to all
applications which meet all of our simplified underwriting guidelines. These
guidelines include:
the insured (the younger insured for second-to-die applications) is at
least 30 years old but not older than 80 on the date of issue;
the payment made is 100% of the guideline single premium;
the payment is at least $10,000 but not more than the maximum permitted for
the age of the insured; and
information disclosed on the application is consistent with our current
simplified underwriting guidelines.
Any application which does not meet all of our simplified underwriting
guidelines will be fully underwritten. We may change our simplified underwriting
criteria at any time.
Distribution Fee: During the first ten contract years, we make a monthly
deduction to compensate us for a portion of the sales expenses which are
incurred by us with respect to the contracts. This charge is equal to an annual
rate of 0.40% of the contract value.
Tax Charge: During the first ten contract years, we make a monthly deduction to
partially compensate us for state and local premium taxes, and federal income
tax treatment of deferred acquisition costs. This charge is equal to an annual
rate of 0.20% of contract value. Premium tax rates vary from state to state and
are a percentage of payments made by contract owners to us. Currently, rates in
the fifty states and the District of Columbia range between 0.50% and 3.5%.
Since we are subject to retaliatory tax, the effective premium tax for us
typically ranges between 2.35% and 3.5%. Typically, we pay premium taxes,
including retaliatory tax, in all jurisdictions, but the tax charge will be
deducted, even if we are not subject to premium or retaliatory tax in a state.
We do not intend to profit from this charge.
Rider Charges: Any charges for riders are deducted monthly. Currently we do not
impose any charges for riders available under the contract.
Daily Deductions
We assess each sub-account with a charge for mortality and expense risks we
assume. Portfolio expenses are also reflected in the separate account.
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge: We impose a daily charge at an annual rate of
0.80% of the average daily net asset value of each sub-account. This charge
compensates us for assuming mortality and expense risks for variable interests
in the contracts.
The mortality risk we assume is that insureds may live for a shorter time than
anticipated. If this happens, we will pay more net death benefits than
anticipated. The expense risk we assume is that the expenses incurred in issuing
and administering the contracts will exceed those compensated by the
administration charges in the contracts. If the charge for mortality and expense
risks is not sufficient to cover mortality experience and expenses, we will
absorb the losses. If the charge turns out to be higher than mortality and
expense risk expenses, the difference will be a profit to us. If the charge
provides us with a profit, the profit will be available for our use to pay
distribution, sales and other expenses.
Portfolio Expenses: The value of the units of the sub-accounts will reflect the
investment advisory fee and other expenses of the portfolios whose shares the
sub-accounts purchase. The prospectuses and statements of additional information
of the portfolios contain more information concerning the fees and expenses.
No charges are currently made against the sub-accounts for federal or state
income taxes. Should income taxes be imposed, we may make deductions from the
sub-accounts to pay the taxes. See Taxation of the Contracts.
Surrender Charge
The contract's contingent surrender charge is a deferred sales charge and an
unrecovered tax charge. The deferred sales charge compensates us for
distribution expenses, including commissions to our representatives, advertising
and the printing of prospectuses and sales literature.

The surrender charge applies for nine contract years and is assessed as a
percentage of payments made to the contract (adjusted for payments previously
withdrawn). See Reinstatement, however, for how surrender charges and applicable
contract years are adjusted if a contract is reinstated. We impose the surrender
charge only if, during its duration, you request a full surrender or you request
a partial withdrawal in excess of the Free 10% Withdrawal Amount.
Partial Withdrawal Costs -- Surrender Charges and Withdrawal Transaction Fees
A surrender charge may be deducted from contract value due to partial
withdrawal. However, in any contract year, you may withdraw, without a surrender
charge, up to:
10% of the contract value; minus
the total of any prior free withdrawals in the same contract year.
This amount is called the Free 10% Withdrawal.
The right to make the Free 10% Withdrawal is not cumulative from contract year
to contract year. For example, if only 8% of contract value were withdrawn in
the second contract year, the amount you could withdraw in future contract years
would not be increased by the amount you did not withdraw in the second contract
year.
We impose any applicable surrender charge on any withdrawal greater than the
free 10% withdrawal.
Currently, we do not impose a withdrawal transaction fee for partial
withdrawals. We reserve the right to impose a withdrawal transaction fee of 2.0%
of the amount withdrawn, not to exceed $25.
Transfer Charges
The first 18 transfers in a contract year are free. After that, we may deduct a
transfer charge not to exceed $25 from amounts transferred in that contract
year. This charge reimburses us for the administrative costs of processing the
transfer.
If you apply for automatic transfers under the DCA or AAR option, the first
automatic transfer for the elected option counts as one transfer. Each future
automatic transfer for the elected option is without charge and does not reduce
the remaining number of transfers that may be made without charge.
Each of the following transfers of contract value is free and does not count as
one of the 18 free transfers in a contract year:
a conversion within the first 24 months from date of issue;
a transfer to the fixed account to secure a loan;
a transfer from the fixed account as a result of a loan repayment;
a reallocation of value in the Money Market sub-account as described above
under THE CONRACT - Applying for a Contract; and,
a transfer made because of a material change in investment policy.
CONTRACT LOANS
You may borrow money secured by your contract value, both during and after the
first contract year. The total amount you may borrow is the loan value. The
maximum loan value is 90% of the result of contract value less surrender
charges. Contract value equal to the outstanding loan will earn monthly interest
in the fixed account at an annual rate of at least 4.0%.
The minimum loan amount is $1,000. The maximum loan amount is the loan value
minus any outstanding loan. We will usually pay the loan within seven days after
we receive the written request. We may delay the payment of loans as stated in
OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS - Delay of Payments.
We will allocate the loan among the sub-accounts and the fixed account according
to your instructions. If you do not make an allocation, we will make a pro rata
allocation. We will transfer the portion of the contract value in each
sub-account equal to the contract loan to the fixed account. We will not count
this transfer as a transfer subject to the transfer charge.
Preferred Loan Option
Any portion of the outstanding loan that represents:
earnings in this contract;
a loan from an exchanged life insurance policy that was carried over to
this contract; or
the available gain in the exchanged life insurance policy that was carried
over to this contract
may be treated as a preferred loan.
The available percentage of the gain carried over from an exchanged policy, less
any policy loan carried over, which will be eligible for preferred loan
treatment is as follows:

--------------------- ---------------------
--------------------- ---------------------

--------------------- ---------------------
The annual interest rate credited to the contract value securing a preferred
loan will be at least 5.5%.
There is some uncertainty as to the tax treatment of preferred loans. Consult a
qualified tax adviser and see Taxation of the Contracts.
Loan Interest Charged
Interest accrues daily at the annual rate of 6.0%. Interest is due and payable
in arrears at the end of each contract year or for as short a period as the loan
may exist. Interest not paid when due will be added to the outstanding loan by
transferring the portion of the contract value equal to the interest due to the
fixed account. The interest due will bear interest at the same rate.
Repayment of Outstanding Loan
You may pay any loans before contract lapse or foreclosure and before the
maturity date. We will allocate that part of the contract value in the fixed
account that secured a repaid loan to the sub-accounts and fixed account
according to your instructions. If you do not make a repayment allocation, we
will allocate contract value according to your most recent payment allocation
instructions. However, loan repayments allocated to the separate account cannot
exceed that portion of the contract value previously transferred from the
separate account to secure the outstanding loan.
If the outstanding loan exceeds the contract value less the surrender charge,
the outstanding loan will be in default and the contract will enter a grace
period. We will mail a notice of default and minimum required payment to the
last known address of you and any assignee. If you do not make sufficient
payment within 62 days after this notice is mailed, the contract will terminate
with no value.
Effect of Contract Loans
Contract loans will permanently affect the contract value and surrender value,
and may permanently affect the death benefit. The effect could be favorable or
unfavorable, depending on whether the investment performance of the sub-accounts
is less than or greater than the interest credited to the contract value in the
fixed account that secures the loan.
We will deduct any outstanding loan from the proceeds payable when the insured
dies or from a surrender.
If the outstanding loan on your contract exceeds the contract value minus
surrender charges, the contract will be in default. There is no charge imposed
solely because the contract goes into default. If you do not pay the required
premium within the grace period, however, the contract will terminate without
value.
If you have an outstanding loan, decreases in contract value, including
decreases due to negative investment results in your sub-account allocations,
could result in default of your contract. If you have an outstanding loan and do
not pay loan interest when due, unpaid interest will be added to your loan and
will bear interest at the same rate. If your investment gains are not
sufficient, the outstanding loan could be greater than your contract value minus
surrender charges, resulting in your contract going into default.
In the event the contract lapses or is otherwise terminated while a loan is
outstanding, the loan is foreclosed and this foreclosure will be treated as cash
received from the contract for income tax purposes.
If the contract is considered a modified endowment contract, or MEC, a loan
taken from the contract will be includible in gross income on an
income-out-first basis. Additionally, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply to the
taxable portion of a loan if the contract owner is less than 59 1/2 years old at
the time of the distribution.
For a discussion of the federal tax considerations of contract loans, see
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Contract Loans.
CONTRACT TERMINATION AND
REINSTATEMENT
Contract Lapse and Termination
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is not in effect on your contract, the
contract will lapse if, on a monthly processing date, the surrender value is
less than the monthly deductions due. If the contract lapses, you will have a
62-day grace period in which to pay required premium. If sufficient premium is
not paid by the end of the grace period, the contract will terminate without
value.
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect on your contract, the
contract will not lapse. If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is terminated,
however, your contract may then lapse.
Additionally, whether or not the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect on
the contract, if the outstanding loan at any time exceeds the contract value
minus the surrender charges, the outstanding loan will be in default. If the
outstanding loan goes into default, you will have a 62-day grace period in which
to pay back the excess outstanding loan. If you do not pay back the excess
outstanding loan by the end of the grace period, the loan will be foreclosed and
the contract will terminate without value.
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect on the contract, the
Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider will terminate if the loan is foreclosed. Once
terminated, the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider may not be reinstated.
This rider may not be available in all jurisdictions.
Reinstatement
A terminated contract may be reinstated within three years of the date of
default and before:
the final payment date; or;
the maturity date, if the default occurred because the outstanding loan
exceeded the contract value less surrender charges.
In some jurisdictions, a time period other than three years may apply to the
reinstatement provision.
The reinstatement takes effect on the monthly processing date following the date
you submit to us:
written application for reinstatement;
evidence of insurability showing that the insured is insurable according to
our current underwriting rules;
a payment that is large enough to cover the cost of all contract charges
and deductions that were due and unpaid during the grace period;
a payment that is large enough to keep the contract in force for three
months; and
a payment or reinstatement of any loan against the contract that existed
at the end of the grace period. Contracts which have been surrendered may not be
reinstated. The Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider may not be reinstated.
Surrender Charge
For the purpose of measuring the surrender charge period, the contract will be
reinstated as of the date of default. The surrender charge on the date of
reinstatement is the surrender charge that would have been in effect on the date
of default. The remaining period during which surrender charges apply, as well
as the percentage charge applicable, will be adjusted accordingly.
Contract Value on Reinstatement
The contract value on the date of reinstatement is:
the payment made to reinstate the contract and interest earned from the
date the payment was received at our Variable Life Service Center; plus
the contract value less any outstanding loan on the date of default; plus
the monthly deductions due on the date of reinstatement.
You may reinstate any outstanding loan.
OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS
Contract Owner
The contract owner named on the specification pages of the contract is the
insured unless another contract owner has been named in the application. As
contract owner, you are entitled to exercise all rights under your contract
while the insured is alive, with the consent of any irrevocable beneficiary.
Beneficiary
The beneficiary is the person or persons to whom the net death benefit is
payable on the insured's death. Unless otherwise stated in the contract, the
beneficiary has no rights in the contract before the insured dies. While the
insured is alive, you may change the beneficiary, unless you have declared the
beneficiary to be irrevocable. An irrevocable beneficiary may only be changed
with the consent of the irrevocable beneficiary. If no beneficiary is alive when
the insured dies, the contract owner, or the contract owner's estate, will be
the beneficiary. If more than one beneficiary is alive when the insured dies, we
will pay each beneficiary in equal shares, unless you have chosen otherwise.
Where there is more than one beneficiary, the interest of a beneficiary who dies
before the insured will pass to surviving beneficiaries proportionally, unless
the contract owner has requested otherwise.
Assignment
You may assign a contract as collateral or make an absolute assignment. All
contract rights will be transferred as to the assignee's interest. The consent
of the assignee may be required to make changes in payment allocations, make
transfers or to exercise other rights under the contract. We are not bound by an
assignment or release thereof, unless it is in writing and recorded at our
Variable Life Service Center. When recorded, the assignment will take effect on
the date the written request was signed. Any rights the assignment creates will
be subject to any payments we made or actions we took before the assignment is
recorded. We are not responsible for determining the validity of any assignment
or release.
The following contract provisions may vary by state:
Limit on Right to Challenge the Contract
Except for fraud, unless such defense is prohibited by state law, or non-payment
of premium, we cannot challenge the validity of your contract if the insured was
alive after the contract has been in force for two years from the date of issue.
This provision does not apply to any riders providing benefits specifically for
disability or death by accident. We may also challenge the validity of your
contract for two years from the effective date of:
any change in underwriting class that you request; and
any reinstatement.
Suicide
The net death benefit will not be paid if the insured commits suicide, while
sane or insane, within two years from the date of issue. Instead, we will pay
the beneficiary all payments made for the contract, without interest, less any
outstanding loan and partial withdrawals.
Misstatement of Age or Sex
If the insured's age or sex is not correctly stated in the contract application,
we will adjust the death benefit and the face amount under the contract to
reflect the correct age and sex. The adjustment will be based upon the ratio of
the maximum payment for the contract to the maximum payment for the contract
issued for the correct age or sex. We will not reduce the death benefit to less
than the guideline minimum sum insured. For a unisex contract, there is no
adjusted benefit solely for misstatement of sex. No adjustment will be made if
the insured dies after the final payment date, if the Guaranteed Death Benefit
Rider is not in effect on the contract.
Delay of Payments
We may delay paying any amounts derived from a payment you made by check until
the check has cleared your bank. Amounts payable from the separate account for
surrender, partial withdrawals, net death benefit, contract loans and transfers
may be postponed whenever:
the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and
holiday closings;
the SEC restricts trading on the New York Stock Exchange; or
the SEC determines an emergency exists, so that disposal of securities is
not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to compute
the value of the separate account's net assets.
We reserve the right to defer amounts payable from the fixed account. This delay
may not exceed six months. However, if payment is delayed for 30 days or more,
we will pay interest at least equal to an effective annual yield of 3.0% per
year for the deferment. Amounts from the fixed account used to make payments on
contracts that we or our affiliates issue will not be delayed.
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following summary of federal tax considerations is based on our
understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted. Legislation may be proposed which, if passed, could adversely and
possibly retroactively affect the taxation of the contracts. This summary is not
exhaustive, does not purport to cover all situations, and is not intended as tax
advice. We do not address tax provisions that may apply if the contract owner is
a corporation or the trustee of an employee benefit plan. You should consult a
qualified tax adviser to apply the law to your circumstances.
The Company and the Separate Account
The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the
Internal Revenue Code. We file a consolidated tax return with our parent and
affiliates. We do not currently charge for any income tax on the earnings or
realized capital gains in the separate account. We do not currently charge for
federal income taxes with respect to the separate account. A charge may apply in
the future for any federal income taxes we incur. The charge may become
necessary, for example, if there is a change in our tax status. Any charge would
be designed to cover the federal income taxes on the investment results of the
separate account.
Under current laws, the Company may incur state and local taxes besides premium
taxes. These taxes are not currently significant. If there is a material change
in these taxes affecting the separate account, we may charge for taxes paid or
for tax reserves.
Taxation of the Contracts
We believe that the contracts described in this prospectus are life insurance
contracts under Code Section 7702. Section 7702 affects the taxation of life
insurance contracts and places limits on the relationship of the contract value
to the death benefit. As life insurance contracts, the net death benefits of the
contracts are generally excludable from the gross income of the beneficiaries.
In the absence of any guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on the
issue, we believe that providing the same amount at risk after age 99 as is
provided at age 99 should be sufficient to maintain the excludability of the
death benefit after age 99. However, this lack of specific IRS guidance makes
the tax treatment of the death benefit after age 99 uncertain. Also, any
increase in contract value is not taxable until received by you or your
designee; but see Distributions Under Modified Endowment Contracts.
Federal tax law requires that the investment of each sub-account funding the
contracts is adequately diversified according to Treasury regulations. We
believe that the portfolios currently meet the Treasury's diversification
requirements. We will monitor continued compliance with these requirements.
The Treasury Department has announced that previous regulations on
diversification do not provide guidance concerning the extent to which contract
owners may direct their investment assets to divisions of a separate investment
account without being treated as the owner of such assets who is taxed directly
on the income from such assets. Regulations may provide such guidance in the
future. The contracts or our administrative rules may be modified as necessary
to prevent a contract owner from being treated as the owner of any assets of the
separate account who is taxed directly on their income.
A surrender, partial withdrawal, distribution, payment at maturity date, change
in the face amount, lapse with contract loan outstanding, or assignment of the
contract may have tax consequences. Within the first fifteen contract years, a
distribution of cash required under Code Section 7702 because of a reduction of
benefits under the contract may be taxable to the contract owner as ordinary
income respecting any investment earnings. Federal, state and local income,
estate, inheritance, and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of
contract proceeds depend on the circumstances of each insured, contract owner or
beneficiary.
A life insurance contract is treated as a modified endowment contract, or MEC,
if it otherwise meets the definition of life insurance under Code Section 7702
but either fails the "7-pay test" of Code Section 7702A or is received in
exchange for a MEC. It is expected that most of the contracts will be MECs,
except where a contract is issued as part of an exchange under Code Section
1035. Under Code Section 1035, an exchange of:
(1) a life insurance contract entered into before June 21, 1988; or,
(2) a life insurance contract that is not itself a MEC
will not cause the contract to be treated as a MEC provided no additional
payments are made to the contract and there is no increase in the death benefit
as a result of the exchange.
Modified Endowment Contracts. Special rules described below apply to the tax
treatment of loans and other distributions under any life insurance contract
that is classified as a modified endowment contract or MEC under Code Section
7702A. A MEC is a life insurance contract that either fails the 7-pay test or is
received in exchange for a MEC. In general, a contract will fail this 7-pay test
if the cumulative premiums and other amounts paid for the contract at any time
during the first 7 contract years (or during any subsequent 7-year test period
resulting from a material change in the contract) exceed the sum of the net
level premiums which would have been paid up to such time if the contract had
provided for certain paid-up future benefits after the payment of 7 level annual
premiums.
If to comply with this 7-pay test limit any premium amount is refunded with
applicable interest no later than 60 days after the end of the contract year in
which it is received, such refunded amount will be removed from the cumulative
amount of premiums that is compared against such 7-pay test limit.
If there is any reduction in the contract's benefits (for example, upon a
withdrawal, death benefit reduction or termination of a rider benefit) during a
7-pay test period, the contract will be retested retroactively from the start of
such period by taking into account such reduced benefit level from such starting
date.
Generally, any increase in death benefits or other material change in the
contract may be treated as producing a new contract for 7-pay test purposes,
requiring the start of a new 7-pay test period as of the date of such change.
Distributions Under Modified Endowment Contracts. Under Code Section 72(e)(10):
loans,
withdrawals, and
other distributions made before the insured's death
under a MEC are includible in gross income on an income-out-first basis. The
amount received is treated as allocable first to the income in the contract and
then to a tax-free recovery of the contract's investment in the contract, or tax
basis.
Generally, a contract's tax basis is equal to its total premiums less amounts
recovered tax-free. To the extent that the contract's cash value, ignoring
surrender charges except upon a full surrender, exceeds its tax basis, such
excess constitutes its income in the contract.
However, under Code Section 72(e)(11)(A)(i), where more than one MEC has been
issued to the same contract holder by the same insurer or an affiliate during a
calendar year, all such MECs are aggregated for purposes of determining the
amount of a distribution from any such MEC that is includible in gross income.
In addition, any amount includible in gross income from a MEC distribution is
subject to a 10% penalty tax on premature distributions under Code Section
72(v), unless the taxpayer has attained age 59 1/2 or is disabled or the payment
is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for a qualifying
lifetime period.
Furthermore, under Code Section 72(e)(4)(A), any loan, pledge, or assignment of
(or any agreement to assign or pledge) any portion of a MEC's cash value is
treated as producing an amount received for purposes of these MEC distribution
rules. It is unclear to what extent this assignment rule applies to a collateral
assignment that does not secure a loan or pledge (for example, in certain
split-dollar arrangements).
Under Code Section 7702A(d), the MEC distribution rules apply not only to all
distributions made during the contract year, and later years in which the
contract fails the 7-pay test, but also to any distributions made in
anticipation of such failure, which is deemed to include any distributions made
during the two years prior to such failure. The Treasury Department has not yet
issued regulations or other guidance indicating what other distributions can be
treated as made in anticipation of such a failure or how, (that is, as of what
date), should income in the contract be determined for purposes of any
distribution that is deemed to be made in anticipation of a failure.
Contract Loans. For contracts that are not MECs, we believe that non-preferred
loans received under the contract will be treated as an indebtedness of the
contract owner for federal income tax purposes. Under current law, these loans
will not constitute income for the contract owner while the contract is in
force. There is a risk, however, that a preferred loan may be characterized by
the IRS as a withdrawal and taxed accordingly. At the present time, the IRS has
not issued any guidance on whether loans with the attributes of a preferred loan
should be treated differently from a non-preferred loan. This lack of specific
guidance makes the tax treatment of preferred loans uncertain.
Interest Disallowance. Under Code Section 264(a)(4), as amended in 1997,
interest on contract loans is generally nondeductible for a contract issued or
materially changed after June 8, 1997. In addition, under Section 264(f),
certain contracts under which a trade or business, other than a sole
proprietorship or a business performing services as an employee, is directly or
indirectly a beneficiary can subject a taxpayer's interest expense to partial
disallowance, if the contract is issued or materially changed after June 8,
1997, to the extent such interest expense is allocable to the taxpayer's
unborrowed cash values thereunder. You should consult your tax adviser on how
the rules governing the non-deductibility of interest would apply in your
individual situation.
VOTING RIGHTS
We are the legal owner of all portfolio shares held in the separate account and
each sub-account. As the owner, we have the right to vote at a portfolio's
shareholder meetings. However, to the extent required by federal securities laws
and regulations, we will vote portfolio shares that each sub-account holds
according to instructions received from contract owners with contract value in
the sub-account. If any federal securities laws or regulations or their
interpretation change to permit us to vote shares in our own right, we reserve
the right to do so, whether or not the shares relate to the contracts.
We will provide each person having a voting interest in a portfolio with proxy
materials and voting instructions. We will vote shares held in each sub-account
for which no timely instructions are received in proportion to all instructions
received for the sub-account. We will also vote in the same proportion our
shares held in the separate account that do not relate to the contracts.
We will compute the number of votes that a contract owner has the right to
instruct on the record date established for the portfolio. This number is the
quotient of:
each contract owner's contract value in the sub-account, divided by
the net asset value of one share in the portfolio in which the assets of
the sub-account are invested.
We may disregard voting instructions contract owners initiate in favor of any
change in the investment policies or in any investment adviser or principal
underwriter. Our disapproval of any change must be reasonable. A change in
investment policies or investment adviser must be based on a good faith
determination that the change would be contrary to state law or otherwise is
improper under the objectives and purposes of the portfolios. If we do disregard
voting instructions, we will include a summary of and reasons for that action in
the next report to contract owners.

DISTRIBUTION
Transamerica Securities Sales Corporation, or TSSC, acts as the principal
underwriter and general distributor of the contract. TSSC is registered with the
SEC as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, or NASD. TSSC was organized on February 26, 1986, under the laws of the
state of Maryland. Broker-dealers sell the contracts through their registered
representatives who are appointed by us.
We pay to broker-dealers who sell the contract commissions based on a commission
schedule, Broker-dealers may choose among available commission options. Each
option includes a commission equal to a percentage of the payment made to the
contract. Certain options also include a commission equal to a percentage of the
unloaned contract value, or trail commission, paid quarterly beginning with the
second contract year on in force contracts. Commission options provide for
commissions of up to 8.0% of payments made, with no trail commissions, and
lesser commissions on payments made but with trail commissions. Trail
commissions may be up to 0.65%, on an annual basis, of unloaned contract value.
To the extent permitted by NASD rules, promotional incentives or payments may
also be provided to broker-dealers based on sales volumes, the assumption of
wholesaling functions or other sales-related criteria. Other payments may be
made for other services that do not directly involve the sale of the contracts.
These services may include the recruitment and training of personnel, production
of promotional literature, and similar services.
We intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses through:
the distribution fee;
the surrender charges; and
investment earnings on amounts allocated under contracts to the fixed account.
Commissions paid on the contract, including other incentives or payments, are
not charged to the contract owners or the separate account.
REPORTS
We will maintain the records for the separate account. We will promptly send you
statements of transactions under your contract, including:
payments;
transfers among sub-accounts and the fixed account;
partial withdrawals;
increases in loan amount or loan repayments;
lapse, loan default, or termination for any reason; and
reinstatement.
We will send an annual statement to you that will summarize all of the above
transactions and deductions of charges during the contract year. It will also
set forth the status of the death benefit, contract value, surrender value,
amounts in the sub-accounts and fixed account, and any contract loans.
Upon request, we will also provide you with a projection of values for your
contract. Each contract year, you may request one projection of values report
without charge. For each subsequent report you request in a contract year, we
may charge up to $25. We will send you reports containing financial statements
and other information for the separate account and the portfolios as the 1940
Act requires.
SERVICES
We receive fees from the investment advisers or other service providers of
certain portfolios in return for providing certain services to contract owners.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings involving the separate account or its
assets. Transamerica is not involved in any litigation that is materially
important to its total assets.
ADDITION, DELETION OR
SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
We reserve the right, subject to law, to make additions to, deletions from, or
substitutions for the shares that are held in the sub-accounts. We may redeem
the shares of a portfolio and substitute shares of another registered open-end
management company, if:
the shares of the portfolio are no longer available for investment; or
in our judgment further investment in the portfolio would be improper
based on the purposes of the separate account or the affected sub-account.
Where the 1940 Act or other law requires, we will not substitute any shares
respecting a contract interest in a sub-account without notice to contract
owners and prior approval of the SEC and state insurance authorities. The
separate account may, as the law allows, purchase other securities for other
contracts or allow a conversion between contracts on a contract owner's request.
We reserve the right to establish additional sub-accounts funded by a new
portfolio or by another investment company. Subject to law, we may, in our sole
discretion, establish new sub-accounts or eliminate one or more sub-accounts.
Shares of the portfolios are issued to other separate accounts of Transamerica
and its affiliates that fund variable annuity contracts and that fund other
variable life contracts. This is referred to as mixed funding. Shares of the
portfolios are also issued to other unaffiliated insurance companies. This is
referred to as shared funding. It is conceivable that in the future such mixed
funding or shared funding may be disadvantageous for variable life insurance
contract owners or variable annuity contract owners. We do not believe that
mixed funding is currently disadvantageous to either variable life insurance
contract owners or variable annuity contract owners.
We will monitor events to identify any material conflicts because of mixed
funding. If we conclude that separate portfolios should be established for
variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, or for separate variable
life separate accounts, we will bear the expenses.
We may change the contract to reflect a substitution or other change and will
notify contract owners of the change. Subject to any approvals the law may
require, the separate account or any sub-accounts may be:
operated as a management company under the 1940 Act;
deregistered under the 1940 Act if registration is no longer required; or
combined with other sub-accounts or our other separate accounts.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Many computer software systems in use today cannot distinguish the year 2000
from the year 1900 because dates are encoded using the standard six-place format
that allows entry of only the last two digits of the year. This is commonly
known as the "Year 2000 Problem".
Regarding our systems and software that administer the contracts, we believe
that our own internal systems will be Year 2000 ready. Additionally, we require
third party vendors that supply software or administrative services to us in
connection with the contract administration to certify that such software and/or
services will be Year 2000 ready.
The "Year 2000 Problem" could also adversely impact the portfolios if the
computer systems used by the portfolios' investment advisers and other service
providers do not accurately process date information on or after January 1,
2000. The investment advisers are addressing this issue by testing the computer
systems they use to ensure that those systems will operate properly on or after
January 1, 2000, and are seeking assurances from other service providers they
use that their computer systems will be adapted to address the "Year 2000
Problem" in time to prevent adverse consequences on or after January 1, 2000.
However, especially when taking into account interaction with other systems, it
is difficult to predict with precision that there will be no disruption of
services in connection with the year 2000.
We continue to believe that we will achieve Year 2000 readiness. However, the
size and complexity of our systems and the need for them to interface with other
systems internally and with those of our customers, vendors, partners,
governmental agencies and other outside parties, creates the possibility that
some systems may experience Year 2000 problems. Although we believe we will be
properly prepared for the date change, we are also developing contingency plans
to minimize any potential disruptions to operations, especially from externally
interfaced systems over which we have limited or no control.
This issue could also adversely impact the value of the securities that the
portfolios invest in if the issuing companies' systems do not operate properly
on or after January 1, 2000, and this risk could be heightened for portfolios
that invest internationally. Refer to the prospectuses for the portfolios for
more information.
The above information is subject to the Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure Act. This
act may limit your legal rights in the event of a dispute.
FURTHER INFORMATION
We have filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 for this
offering with the SEC. Under SEC rules and regulations, we have omitted from
this prospectus parts of the registration statement and amendments. Statements
contained in this prospectus are summaries of the contract and other legal
documents. The complete documents and omitted information may be obtained from
the SEC's principal office in Washington, D.C., on payment of the SEC's
prescribed fees.
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FIXED
ACCOUNT
This prospectus serves as a disclosure document only for the aspects of the
contract relating to the separate account. For complete details on the fixed
account, read the contract itself. The fixed account and other interests in the
general account are not regulated under the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act because of
exemption and exclusionary provisions. 1933 Act provisions on the accuracy and
completeness of statements made in prospectuses may apply to information on the
fixed part of the contract and the fixed account. The SEC has not reviewed the
disclosures in this section of the prospectus.
General Description. You may allocate part or all of your payment to accumulate
at a fixed rate of interest in the fixed account. The fixed account is a part of
our general account. The general account is made up of all of our general assets
other than those allocated to any separate account. Allocations to the fixed
account become part of our general account assets and are used to support
insurance and annuity obligations.
Fixed Account Interest. We guarantee amounts allocated to the fixed account as
to principal and a minimum rate of interest. The interest rates credited to the
portion of contract value in the fixed account are set by us, but will never be
less than 4% per year. We may establish higher interest rates, and the initial
interest rates and the renewal interest rates may be different. We will
guarantee initial interest rates on amounts allocated to the fixed account,
either as payments or transfers, to the next contract anniversary. At each
contract anniversary, we will credit the renewal interest rate effective on that
date to money remaining in the fixed account. We will guarantee this rate for
one year. The initial and the renewal interest rates do not apply to the portion
of the contract value in the fixed account which secures any outstanding loan.
Transfers, Surrenders, Partial Withdrawals and Contract Loans. If a contract is
surrendered or if a partial withdrawal is made, a surrender charge and/or
withdrawal transaction fee may be imposed. We deduct partial withdrawals from
contract value allocated to the fixed account on a last-in/first-out basis. The
first 18 transfers in a contract year are free. After that, we may deduct a
transfer charge not to exceed $25 for each additional transfer in that contract
year. The transfer privilege is subject to our consent and to our then current
rules.
Contract loans may also be made from the contract value in the fixed account. We
will credit that part of the contract value that is equal to any outstanding
loan with interest at an effective annual yield of at least 4.0%.
The minimum interest rate for preferred loans is 5.5%.
We may delay transfers, surrenders, partial withdrawals, net death benefits and
contract loans up to six months. However, if payment is delayed for 30 days or
more, we will pay interest at least equal to an effective annual yield of 3.0%
per year for the deferment. Amounts from the fixed account used to make payments
on contracts that we or our affiliates issue will not be delayed.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The consolidated financial statements of Transamerica at December 31, 1998 and
1997, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998,
appearing in the prospectus have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, Independent
Auditors, as set forth in their attached reports. The financial statements
audited by Ernst & Young LLP have been included in reliance upon such reports
given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial Statements for Transamerica are included in this prospectus, starting
on the next page. There are no financial statements for Separate Account VUL-2
since the separate account had not commenced operations as of December 31, 1998.
The financial statements of Transamerica should be considered as bearing upon
our ability to meet our obligations under the contract. They should not be
considered as bearing on the investment performance of the separate account.

OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
<PAGE>
3
This Appendix provides only a summary of other insurance benefits available by
rider. For more information, contact your representative. Certain riders may not
be available in all states. The names of the available riders may vary by
jurisdiction.
Option to Accelerate Death Benefits (Living Benefits Rider - SPVUL)
This rider allows the contract owner to elect to receive part of the net death
benefit under the contract before the insured's death if the insured becomes
terminally ill, as defined in the rider. This rider is not available on
Second-to-Die Contracts.
Section 1035 Rider
This rider provides preferred loan rates to: (a) any outstanding loan carried
over from an exchanged contract, the proceeds of which are applied to purchase
the contract; and (b) a percentage of the gain under the exchanged contract,
less the outstanding contract loans carried over to the contract, as of the date
of exchange.
Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider (SPVUL)
If the contract owner pays 100% of the guideline single premium for the
contract, this rider will be added to the contract without additional charge. If
the rider is in effect, the contract will not lapse through the final payment
date. After the final payment date, if the rider is in effect and is not
subsequently terminated, the rider provides that the death benefit after the
final payment date is the greater of:
(a) the face amount as of the final payment date or
(b) the guideline minimum sum insured as of the date due proof of death is
received by us.
The net death benefit under the rider after the final payment date is the death
benefit reduced by the outstanding loan, if any, through the contract month in
which the insured dies.
The rider may terminate under certain circumstances and, once terminated, may
not be reinstated.

<PAGE>
APPENDIX C
BENEFIT PAYMENT OPTIONS
The following definitions apply to this description of benefit payment options:
Designated Individual: a person specified by the payee upon whose life
expectancy a benefit payment option amount is based and upon whose life
continued payments depend. If the payee is the contract owner, the designated
individual may be the insured, or if applicable, another living individual. If
the payee is the beneficiary, the designated individual may be the beneficiary
or another living individual.
Payee: the person with the right to elect an available benefit payment option
and to receive the payments under a benefit payment option. The contract owner
is the payee under the benefit payment option if the option is elected as a
method of receiving surrender or maturity proceeds. The beneficiary is the payee
under a benefit payment option elected as a method of receiving net death
benefits.
Benefit Payment Options
When the insured dies, we will pay the net death benefit in a lump sum unless
you or the beneficiary choose a benefit payment option. You may choose a benefit
payment option while the insured is living. The beneficiary may choose a benefit
option after the insured has died. The beneficiary's right to choose will be
subject to any benefit payment option restrictions in effect at the insured's
death. You may also choose one of these options as a method of receiving the
surrender or maturity proceeds, if any are available under the contract. When we
receive a satisfactory written request, we will pay the benefit according to one
of these options.
The amounts payable under a benefit payment option are paid from the fixed
account. These amounts are not based on the investment experience of the
separate account.
OPTION A: Installment for a Guaranteed Period. We will pay equal installments
for a guaranteed period of from one to thirty years. Each installment will
consist of part benefit and part interest. We will pay the installments monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually or annually, as requested.
OPTION B: Installments for Life with a Guaranteed Period. We will pay equal
monthly installments as long as the designated individual is living, but we will
not make payments for less than the guaranteed period the payee chooses. The
guaranteed period may be either 10 years or 20 years. We will pay the
installments monthly.
OPTION C: Benefit Deposited with Interest. We will hold the benefit on deposit.
It will earn interest at the annual interest rate we are paying as of the date
of death, surrender or maturity. We will not pay less than 2 1/2% annual
interest. We will pay the earned interest monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or
annually, as requested. The payee may withdraw part or all of the benefit and
earned interest at any time.
OPTION D: Installments of a Selected Amount. We will pay installments of a
selected amount until we have paid the entire benefit and accumulated interest.
OPTION E: Annuity. We will use the benefit as a single payment to buy an
annuity. The annuity may be payable based on the life of one or two designated
individuals. It may be payable for life with or without a guaranteed period, as
requested. The annuity payment will not be less than what our current annuity
contracts are then paying.
General
The payee may arrange any other method of benefit as long as we agree to it.
There must be at least $10,000 available for any option and the amount of each
installment must be at least $100. If the benefit amount is not enough to meet
these requirements, we will pay the benefit in a lump sum.
Installments which vary by age of the designated individual will be determined
based on the age nearest birthday of the designated individual on the date of
death, maturity, or surrender. If the net death benefit is payable, the benefit
payment option starting date is the date of death of the insured. For purposes
of contract maturity or surrender, the date the written request is received in
our Variable Life Service Center is the benefit payment option starting date.
<PAGE>
C-1
<PAGE>
The first installment due under any option will be for the period beginning as
of the date of death, maturity or surrender. Any unpaid balance we hold under
Options A, B or D will earn interest at the rate we are paying at the time of
settlement. We will not pay less than 3% annual interest. Any benefit we hold
will be combined with our general assets.
If the payee does not live to receive all guaranteed payments under Options A,
B, D or E or any amount deposited under Option C, plus any accumulated interest,
we will pay the remaining benefit as scheduled to the payee's estate. The payee
may name and change a successor payee for any amount we would otherwise pay the
payee's estate.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF
DEATH BENEFIT, CONTRACT VALUES
AND ACCUMULATED PAYMENTS
<PAGE>
The following tables illustrate the way in which a contract's death benefit and
contract value could vary over an extended period.
Assumptions
The tables illustrate the following contracts:
1. A contract issued to a male, age 55, under a standard underwriting class
and qualifying for the non-tobacco user discount, issued based on
simplified underwriting criteria;
2. A contract issued to a male, age 55, under a standard underwriting class
and qualifying for the non-tobacco user discount, issued on a fully
underwritten basis;
3. A Second-to Die contract issued to a male, age 55, and to a female, age 55,
each insured qualifying for a standard underwriting class and the
non-tobacco user discount, issued based on simplified underwriting
criteria;
4. A Second-to-Die contract issued to a male, age 55, and to a female, age 55,
each insured qualifying for a standard underwriting class and the
non-tobacco user discount, issued based on a fully underwritten basis;
5. A contract issued to a male, age 65, under a standard underwriting class
and qualifying for the non-tobacco user discount, issued based on
simplified underwriting criteria;
6. A contract issued to a male, age 65, under a standard underwriting class
and qualifying for the non-tobacco user discount, issued on a fully
underwritten basis;
7. A Second-to-Die contract issued to a male, age 65, and to a female, age 65,
each insured qualifying for a standard underwriting class and the
non-tobacco user discount, issued based on simplified underwriting
criteria; and
8. A Second-to-Die contract issued to a male, age 65, and to a female, age 65,
each insured qualifying for a standard underwriting class and the
non-tobacco user discount, issued based on a fully underwritten basis.
The tables illustrate contract values based on the assumptions that no contract
loans have been made, that no partial withdrawals have been made, and that no
more than 18 transfers have been made in any contract year (so that no
transaction fee or transfer charges have been incurred). On request, we will
provide a comparable illustration based on the proposed insured's age, sex, and
underwriting class, and a specified payment.
The tables assume that the single payment is allocated to and remains in the
separate account for the entire period shown. The tables are based on
hypothetical gross investment rates of return for the portfolios (i.e.,
investment income and capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized) equal to
constant gross annual rates of 0%, 6%, and 12%. The second column of the tables
shows the amount that would accumulate if the single payment was invested to
earn interest (after taxes) at 5% compounded annually.
The contract values and death benefit would be different from those shown if the
gross annual investment rates of return averaged 0%, 6%, and 12% over a period
of years, but fluctuated above or below the averages for individual contract
years. The values would also be different depending on the allocation of the
contract's total contract value among the sub-accounts, if the rates of return
averaged 0%, 6% or 12%, but the rates of each portfolio varied above and below
the averages.
The hypothetical returns shown in the table do not reflect any charges for
income taxes against the separate account since no charges are currently made.
However, if in the future the charges are made, to produce illustrated death
benefits and contract value, the gross annual investment rate of return would
have to exceed 0%, 6% or 12% by a sufficient amount to cover the tax charges.
<PAGE>
D-1
<PAGE>
Deductions for Charges
The amounts shown for the death proceeds and contract values take into account
the monthly deductions from contract value:
1. the insurance protection charge;
2. the administration charge equivalent to 0.30% on an annual basis;
3. the tax charge equivalent to 0.20% on an annual basis, deducted during the
first ten contract years; and
4. the distribution fee equivalent to 0.40% on an annual basis, deducted during
the first ten contract years.
The amounts shown for the death proceeds and the contract values also take into
account the daily charge against the sub-accounts for mortality and expense
risks equivalent to 0.80% on an annual basis.
Expenses of the Portfolios
The amounts shown in the tables also take into account the portfolio management
fees and operating expenses, which are assumed to be at an annual rate of 0.82%
of the average daily net assets of the portfolios. The rate of 0.82% is the
simple average of the total portfolio annual expenses for all of the portfolios
as shown in the Portfolio Expenses table in the prospectus and takes into
account expense reimbursement arrangements. The fees and expenses of each
portfolio vary, and, in 1998 ranged from an annual rate of 0.60% to an annual
rate of 1.15% of average daily net assets. Some of these expenses reflect
expense waivers or reimbursements by the portfolios' advisers as discussed in
Note (1) to the Portfolio Expenses table. Without these expense waivers or
reimbursements, if applicable, the expenses for those portfolio would be higher
and the simple average would have been at the annual rate of 1.05% of average
daily net assets. As discussed in Note (1) to the Portfolio Expenses Table, such
waivers or reimbursements are expected to continue for 1999. The fees and
expenses associated with the contract may be more or less than 0.82% in the
aggregate, depending upon how you make allocations of the contract value among
the sub-accounts. For more information on portfolio expenses, see the Portfolio
Expenses Table in this prospectus and the prospectuses for the portfolios.
Net Annual Rates of Investment
Taking into account the separate account mortality and expense risk charge of
0.80%, and the assumed 0.82% charge for portfolio management fees and operating
expenses, the gross annual rates of investment return of 0%, 6% and 12%
correspond to net annual rates of -1.62%, 4.38% and 10.38%, respectively.
Upon request, we will provide a comparable illustration based upon the proposed
insured's age and underwriting classification, the single payment amount and the
allowable requested face amount.

Age: how old the insured is on his or her last birthday before the date of issue
and, subsequently, the contract anniversary. However, for benefit payment
options, age is based on the age nearest birthday of the designated individual.
Attained Age: the insured's age as of the insured's last birthday at the start
of the contract year. Attained age is used in the calculation of the guideline
minimum sum insured.
Beneficiary: the person or persons you name to receive the net death benefit
when the insured dies.
Contract Owner: the person who may exercise all rights under the contract, with
the consent of any irrevocable
beneficiary. You and your refer to the contract owner in this prospectus.

value of the units of the sub-accounts credited to your contract; plus
accumulation in the fixed account credited to your contract.
Date of Default: the first day of the grace period.
Date of Issue: the date the contract was issued. It is used to measure the
monthly processing date, contract months, contract years and contract
anniversaries.

may be reinstated.
Face Amount: the amount of insurance coverage. The initial face amount is shown
in your contract.
Final Payment Date: the contract anniversary coinciding with or immediately
following the insured's 100th birthday. For a Second-to-Die contract, the final

following the younger insured's 100th birthday. No payments are permitted by you
after this date. No monthly deduction (including insurance protection charges)
will be deducted from the contract value after this date. Generally, the net
death benefit after this date will equal the guideline minimum sum insured minus
any outstanding loan, except as otherwise provided in a Guaranteed Death Benefit
Rider, if attached to the contract.
Fixed Account: an account that is a part of the general account and that
guarantees a fixed interest rate.
Foreclosure: the reclassification of an outstanding loan at the end of the grace
period if: (a) the contract lapses with an outstanding loan, and the contract is
subsequently terminated at the end of the grace period; or (b) the outstanding
loan is in default and the excess outstanding loan is not paid back by the end
of the grace period, resulting in the termination of the contract.
General Account: all our assets other than those held in separate investment
accounts.
Grace Period: the 62-day period starting on: (a) the monthly processing date on
which the surrender value is less than the monthly deductions due and the
contract lapses; or (b) the date on which the outstanding loan exceeds the
contract value less surrender charges.

contract as a life insurance contract under federal tax laws. The guideline
minimum sum insured is the product of:

<PAGE>
Insurance Protection Amount: the death benefit less the contract value.

and its rules and regulations.
Loan Value: the maximum amount you may borrow under the contract.
Maturity Date: the contract anniversary coinciding with or immediately following
the insured's 115th birthday. If two persons are insured, the maturity date is
the contract anniversary coinciding with or immediately following the younger
insured's 115th birthday.
Monthly Insurance Protection Charge: the amount of money we deduct from the
contract value each month to pay for the insurance protection amount.
Monthly Processing Date: the date, shown in your contract, on which monthly
deductions are deducted.

the death benefit; minus
any outstanding loan, monthly deductions due and unpaid through the
contract month in which the insured dies, as well as any due and unpaid
partial withdrawals, withdrawal transaction fees and applicable surrender
charges.
After the final payment date, if the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is not in
effect, the net death benefit is:
the guideline minimum sum insured; minus
any outstanding loan through the contract month in which the insured dies,
as well as any due and unpaid partial withdrawals, withdrawal transaction
fees and applicable surrender charges.
If the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider is in effect after the final payment date,
the net death benefit will be the greater of:

the guideline minimum sum insured as of the date we receive due proof of
death
reduced by any outstanding loan through the contract month in which the
insured dies.
Outstanding Loan: all unpaid contract loans plus loan interest due or accrued.
Portfolio: a mutual fund investment portfolio in which a corresponding
sub-account invests.
Pro rata Allocation: an allocation among the fixed account and the sub-accounts
in the same proportion that, on the date of allocation, the portion of the
contract value in the fixed account and the portion of the contract value in
each sub-account bear to the total contract value net of any outstanding loans.
Second-to-Die: the contract may be issued as a joint survivorship
(second-to-die) contract. Life insurance coverage is provided for two insureds,
with death benefits payable at the death of the last surviving insured.
