price to the public of securities issued by the trust or the
valuation of shares or interests in the underlying securities
acquired by the holder of a periodic payment plan certificate:

portfolio securities.
Shares of each Portfolio held by the Separate Account are valued
at net asset value per share as supplied to the Company by the
applicable underlying investment company.
(2) Whether opening, closing, bid, asked or any other price is used.
See response to Item 44(a)(1).
(3) Whether price is as of the day of sale or as of any other time.
See response to Item 16. If received before 4:00 p.m. Eastern
time, the price will be determined as of 4:00 p.m. If received
after 4:00 p.m., the next day's price will be used.
(4) A brief description of the methods used by registrant for
determining other assets and liabilities including accrual for
expenses and taxes (including taxes on unrealized appreciation).
The Separate Account's assets and liabilities are valued in
accordance with generally-accepted accounting principles on an
accrual basis. The Company does not anticipate any substantial
federal tax liability at present and, therefore, has not created a
provision for taxes, but reserves the right to do so in the
future.
(5) Other items which registrant adds to the net asset value in
computing offering price of its securities:
See response to Item 13.
(6) Whether adjustments are made for fractions:

price of the trust's securities as at the latest practicable date.
Such schedule shall be in substantially the following form:

(h) others
(i) total, 6(a) through 6(h), inclusive
7. Adjusted value of net assets (5 plus 6(i))

<PAGE>
(c) If there is any variation in the offering price of the trust's
securities to any person or classes of persons other than
underwriters, state the nature and amount of such variation and
indicate the person or classes of persons to whom such offering is
made.
The Company does not require a premium payment of a fixed amount
at fixed intervals for a specified time period. A Policyowner may,
subject to certain limitations, pay premiums at any frequency in
any amount. Nonetheless, Policyowners will need to pay sufficient
premiums to maintain adequate cash value to pay monthly charges,
including the cost of insurance. The cost of insurance will vary,
depending upon the insured's issue age, sex, and risk
classification. In addition, there will be additional charges if
optional insurance benefits are elected.
Thus, for the Policy to remain in force, a Policyowner will need
to take the cost of insurance, as well as other factors such as
investment performance, into consideration in determining the
amount and frequency of premium payments.
45. Furnish the following information with respect to any suspension of the
redemption rights of the securities issued by the trust during the three

47. Furnish a statement as to the procedure with respect to the maintenance
of a position in the underlying securities or interests in the underlying
