IL
PROTECTOR(TM)
Prospectus Dated August 1, 1996
IL Protector is a flexible premium variable life insurance policy issued by
Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company (Equitable Variable), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States
(Equitable).
The policy offers flexible premium payments, a choice of two death benefit
options, increases and decreases to the policy's Face Amount of insurance and a
choice of funding options, including a guaranteed interest option and the
following thirteen investment portfolios:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
Fixed Income Series: Equity Series: Asset Allocation Series:
o Money Market o Growth & Income o Conservative Investors
o Intermediate Government Securities o Equity Index o Balanced
o Quality Bond o Common Stock o Growth Investors
o High Yield o Global
o International
o Aggressive Stock
</TABLE>
We do not guarantee the investment performance of these investment portfolios,
which involve varying degrees of risk.
Although premiums are flexible, additional premiums may be required to keep the
policy in effect. The policy may terminate if its value (net of any policy loan
and surrender charge) is too small to pay the policy's monthly charges. The
policy can be guaranteed to stay in force for a period of time, regardless of
investment performance, through the no lapse guarantee provision.
You can borrow against or withdraw money from the policy, within limits. Loans
and withdrawals will reduce the policy's death benefit and cash surrender value.
You can also surrender the policy. A surrender charge will apply if you
surrender the policy during the first fifteen policy years or within fifteen
years after certain Face Amount increases. This charge may also apply if you
reduce the Face Amount or if the policy terminates.
Your Equitable agent can provide you with information about all forms of life
insurance available from us and Equitable and help you decide which may best
meet your needs. Replacing existing insurance with an IL Protector or another
policy may not be to your advantage.
You may examine the policy for a limited period and cancel it for a full refund
of premiums paid.
PLEASE READ THIS PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY AND KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. THIS
PROSPECTUS CONTAINS INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE KNOWN BEFORE INVESTING IN IL
PROTECTOR. THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT VALID UNLESS IT IS ATTACHED TO A CURRENT
PROSPECTUS FOR THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this prospectus "we," "our" and "us" mean Equitable Variable, a New York
stock life insurance company. "You" and "your" mean the owner of the policy. We
refer to the person who is covered by the policy as the "insured person" because
the insured person and the policyowner may not be the same. Unless indicated
otherwise, the discussion in this prospectus assumes that there is no policy
loan outstanding and that the policy is not in a grace period.
THE POLICY IS NOT AVAILABLE IN ALL JURISDICTIONS. THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE AN OFFERING IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH OFFERING MAY NOT
LAWFULLY BE MADE. EQUITABLE VARIABLE DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANY INFORMATION OR
REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE OFFERING DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS OTHER THAN
AS CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS OR ANY ATTACHED SUPPLEMENT THERETO OR IN ANY
SUPPLEMENTAL SALES MATERIAL AUTHORIZED BY EQUITABLE VARIABLE.
<PAGE>
WHAT IS VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE?
Variable life insurance is one kind of permanent cash value life insurance. Like
other kinds of permanent cash value life insurance, such as whole life and
universal life insurance, variable life insurance generally provides two
benefits: an income tax-free death benefit and a cash value that grows
tax-deferred.
What sets variable life insurance apart from universal life and whole life is
that variable life insurance allows the policyowner to direct premiums to
different mutual fund options. This enables a policyowner to harness the growth
potential of, for example, the equity markets, but the policyowner also bears
the risk of investment losses. In contrast, whole life insurance provides a
minimum guaranteed cash value and universal life applies a minimum guaranteed
interest rate to premiums. Some variable life insurance policies offer some of
the other features of universal or whole life such as premium flexibility
(universal life), face amount increases (universal life) or death benefit
guarantees (whole life).
Equitable Variable and its parent, Equitable, offer an array of permanent cash
value insurance products, including other variable life insurance products, and
your Equitable agent can help you determine which product best suits your
insurance needs.
SUMMARY OF IL PROTECTOR FEATURES
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE TERMS OF THE POLICY
WHEN ISSUED AND THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS (SEE TABLE OF CONTENTS ON OPPOSITE PAGE).
PUTTING MONEY INTO THE POLICY
FLEXIBLE PREMIUMS
o Premiums may be invested whenever and in whatever amount you determine,
within limits. Other than the minimum initial premium, there are no
scheduled or required premium payments (however, under certain conditions,
additional premiums may be needed to keep a policy in effect). See FLEXIBLE
PREMIUMS on page 9.
POLICY ACCOUNT
o Net premiums are put in your Policy Account and can be allocated to a
Guaranteed Interest Account and to one or more funds of Equitable Variable's
Separate Account FP (each a Fund, and together, the Funds or the Separate
Account). The Funds invest in corresponding portfolios of The Hudson River
Trust (Trust), a mutual fund. See THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT and THE TRUST, both
on page 6.
o Transfers can be made among the various funding options, BUT TRANSFERS OUT
OF THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT CAN ONLY BE MADE DURING A LIMITED TIME
AND IN LIMITED AMOUNTS. See TRANSFERS OUT OF THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT
on page 8 for a description of these limitations. Transfers into the
Guaranteed Interest Account and among the Funds may generally be made at any
time and are subject to certain minimum transfer amounts. See TRANSFERS OF
POLICY ACCOUNT VALUE on page 12.
o There is no minimum guaranteed cash value for amounts allocated to the
Funds. The value of amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account
will depend on the interest rates declared and guaranteed each year by
Equitable Variable (4% minimum, before deductions). See THE GUARANTEED
INTEREST ACCOUNT on page 8.
TAKING MONEY OUT OF THE POLICY
o Loans may be taken against 90% of a policy's Cash Surrender Value (Policy
Account value less any applicable surrender charge) subject to certain
conditions. Loan interest accrues daily at a rate determined annually.
Currently, amounts set aside to secure the loan earn interest at a rate 1%
lower than the rate charged for policy loan interest. See BORROWING FROM
YOUR POLICY ACCOUNT on page 13.
o Partial Withdrawals of Net Cash Surrender Value (Cash Surrender Value less
any loan and accrued loan interest) may be taken after the first policy
year, subject to our approval and certain conditions. See PARTIAL
WITHDRAWALS on page 14.
o The policy may be surrendered for its Net Cash Surrender Value, less any
lien securing a Living Benefit payment, at which time insurance coverage
will end. See SURRENDER FOR NET CASH SURRENDER VALUE on page 15.
INSURANCE PROTECTION FEATURES
DEATH BENEFITS
o Option A, a fixed benefit equal to the policy's Face Amount.
o Option B, a variable benefit equal to the Face Amount plus the Policy
Account value.
o In some cases a higher death benefit may apply in order to meet Federal
income tax law requirements. See DEATH BENEFITS on page 9.
o After the first policy year, you can increase the Face Amount. After the
second policy year, you can decrease the Face Amount or change your death
benefit option. Conditions apply to Face Amount and death benefit option
changes. The minimum Face Amount is generally $50,000. See CHANGES IN
INSURANCE PROTECTION on page 10.
o After the second policy year, you may be able to substitute the insured
person. See SUBSTITUTION OF INSURED PERSON on page 11.
1
<PAGE>
NO LAPSE GUARANTEE PROVISION
o The no lapse guarantee provision guarantees that, under certain conditions,
the policy will remain in force for fifteen or twenty years, depending on
the insured person's issue age, even if the Net Cash Surrender Value is
insufficient to pay the monthly policy charges. The no lapse guarantee
provision may be limited or not available in some states. See GUARANTEEING
THE DEATH BENEFIT on page 10 for a description of the conditions that apply.
MATURITY BENEFIT
o A maturity benefit equal to the amount in your Policy Account, less any
policy loan, any lien securing a Living Benefit payment and accrued
interest, is payable on the policy anniversary nearest the insured person's
100th birthday (Final Policy Date), if the insured person is still living on
that date. See MATURITY BENEFIT on page 11.
LIVING BENEFIT
o The Living Benefit rider enables the policyowner to receive a portion of the
policy's death benefit (excluding death benefits payable under certain
riders) if the insured person has a terminal illness. The Living Benefit
rider will be added to most policies at issue for no additional cost. See
LIVING BENEFIT OPTION on page 11.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
o Disability waiver; accidental death; term insurance on an additional insured
person; children's term insurance; option to purchase additional insurance;
and cost of living riders are available. See ADDITIONAL BENEFITS MAY BE
AVAILABLE on page 12.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
FROM PREMIUMS (See DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS on page 15.)
o Charge for taxes imposed by states and other jurisdictions. Such charges
currently range from .75% to 5% (Virgin Islands).
o Premium Sales Charge equal to 6% of premiums paid.
FROM THE POLICY ACCOUNT (See DEDUCTIONS FROM YOUR POLICY ACCOUNT on page 15.)
o Administrative charge during the first policy year equal to $25 per month.
During subsequent years, the monthly administrative charge is $6. We may
increase this charge, but we guarantee that it will never exceed $10 per
month.
o Current monthly cost of insurance rates range from $0.06 per thousand of net
amount at risk at the younger ages to $50.00 per thousand of net amount at
risk at the oldest age (99). The net amount at risk is the difference
between the Policy Account value and the current death benefit. Guaranteed
cost of insurance rates range from $0.06 (younger ages) to $83.33 (age 99).
o Monthly charge for any additional insurance benefits.
o Certain policy transactions will result in the following charges:
o Transfers -- Currently, we charge $25 per transfer after the twelfth
transfer in a policy year. We reserve the right to charge $25 per
transfer.
o Partial Withdrawal -- An expense charge of $25 or 2% of the amount
requested, whichever is less, is made for each partial withdrawal.
o Face Amount Increases -- An administrative charge of $1.50 for each
additional $1,000 of insurance (up to a maximum charge of $240) will be
deducted from your Policy Account. This charge does not apply to face
amount increases made under the Cost of Living rider.
o Substitution of Insured Person -- A $100 expense charge will be deducted
for each substitution of insured person.
FROM THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
o Charge for certain mortality and expense risks equal to .80% per annum.
SURRENDER CHARGE (See SURRENDER CHARGE on page 16.)
o A Surrender Charge applies if the policy terminates, is surrendered for its
Net Cash Surrender Value or if the Face Amount is reduced during the first
fifteen policy years. The maximum charge is equal to 66% of one "target
premium." After the first nine policy years, the maximum charge declines on
a monthly basis until it reaches zero at the end of the fifteenth policy
year.
o If you increase the policy's Face Amount, an additional Surrender Charge
will generally apply to the amount of the increase for fifteen years
beginning on the effective date of increase.
FROM THE TRUST
The table below shows the maximum annual rates payable by the Trust for
investment management fees. These fees may decrease as portfolio net assets
reach certain levels. These fee reductions are described under THE TRUST'S
INVESTMENT ADVISER on page 6, and the actual fees paid by the Trust in 1995 are
disclosed in the attached Trust prospectus. The table below shows other direct
expenses, such as brokerage commissions, deducted from Trust assets in 1995.
Trust expenses are likely to fluctuate from year to year. Both investment
management fees and direct Trust expenses are expressed in the table below as a
percentage of each portfolio's daily average net assets:

VARIATIONS
o Equitable Variable is subject to the insurance laws and regulations in every
jurisdiction in which IL Protector is sold. As a result, various time
periods and other terms and conditions described in this prospectus may vary
from state to state. These variations will be reflected in the policy.
o The terms of IL Protector may also vary where special circumstances result
in a reduction in our costs.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CANCELLATION RIGHT
o You have a right to examine the policy. You may cancel the policy, within
the time limits described below, by sending it to our Administrative Office
with a written request to cancel. Insurance coverage ends when you send your
request.
o Your request to cancel the policy must be postmarked no later than the later
of: (i) 10 days after you receive the policy, (ii) 10 days after we mail a
written notice telling you about your rights to cancel, or (iii) 45 days
after you sign Part I of the policy application.
o If you cancel the policy, we will refund the premiums you paid. In certain
cases where the policy was purchased as a result of an exchange of one of
our life insurance policies, we may reinstate the prior policy.
o There may be income tax and withholding implications if you cancel.
POLICY TERMINATION
o The policy will go into default if the Net Cash Surrender Value is
insufficient to cover monthly charges and the no lapse guarantee provision
is not in effect. If this occurs, you will be notified and given the
opportunity to maintain the policy in force by making additional payments.
You may be able to restore a terminated policy within a limited time period,
but this will require additional evidence of insurability. See YOUR POLICY
CAN TERMINATE on page 17 and YOU MAY RESTORE A POLICY AFTER IT TERMINATES on
page 17.
TAX EFFECTS
o Generally, under current Federal income tax law, death benefits are not
subject to income tax and Policy Account earnings are not subject to income
tax as long as they remain in the Policy Account. Loans, partial
withdrawals, surrender, maturity, policy termination, or a substitution of
insured may result in recognition of income for tax purposes. See TAX
EFFECTS on page 18.
HUDSON RIVER TRUST RATES OF RETURN
The rates of return shown below are based on the actual investment performance
of The Hudson River Trust portfolios, after deduction for investment management
fees and direct operating expenses of the Trust, for periods ending June 30,
1996. The historical performance of the Common Stock and Money Market Portfolios
for periods prior to March 22, 1985, when these funds were managed separate
accounts and subject to a different fee structure, has been adjusted to reflect
current investment management fees of .40% per annum and estimated direct
operating expenses of the Trust of .10% per annum. The Common Stock Portfolio
and its predecessors have been in existence since 1976.
The yields shown below are derived from the actual rate of return of the Trust
portfolio for the period, which is then adjusted to omit capital changes in the
portfolio during the period. We show the SEC standardized 7-day yield for the
Money Market Portfolio and 30-day yield for the Intermediate Government
Securities, Quality Bond and High Yield Portfolios.
These rates of return and yields are not illustrative of how actual investment
performance will affect the benefits under your policy. Moreover, these rates of
return and yields are not an estimate or guarantee of future performance.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF POLICY ACCOUNT AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES BASED ON HISTORICAL
INVESTMENT RESULTS. The table on the next page was developed to demonstrate how
the actual investment experience of the Trust and its predecessors would have
affected the Policy Account value and Cash Surrender Value of hypothetical IL
Protector policies held for specified periods of time. The table illustrates
premiums, Policy Account values and Cash Surrender Values of twelve hypothetical
IL Protector policies, each with a 100% premium allocation to a different Fund.
The illustration also assumes that, in each case, the insured is a 40-year-old
male, preferred non-tobacco user and that each policy has a level death benefit,
a $150,000 face amount and a $2,000 annual premium.
The table assumes that each policy was purchased on the first day of a calendar
year. For Trust portfolios whose inception dates fall before June 30, the policy
is assumed to have been purchased at the beginning of and earned the actual
return over that entire calendar year of inception. For Trust portfolios whose
inception dates fall after June 30, the policy is assumed to have been purchased
at the beginning of the first full calendar year of that portfolio's operation.
The table then illustrates what the Policy Account and Cash Surrender Value
would have been after one policy year, after five policy years, after 10 policy
years and on June 30, 1996.

PART 1: DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT EQUITABLE VARIABLE AND
IL PROTECTOR INVESTMENT CHOICES
THE COMPANY THAT ISSUES IL PROTECTOR
EQUITABLE VARIABLE. Equitable Variable was organized in 1972 in New York State
as a stock life insurance company. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. We are licensed to do
business in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the District of
Columbia. At December 31, 1995, we had approximately $132.8 billion face amount
of variable life insurance in force.
OUR PARENT, EQUITABLE. Equitable, a New York stock life insurance company, has
been in business since 1859. Equitable is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Equitable Companies Incorporated (the Holding Company). The largest stockholder
of the Holding Company is AXA S.A. (AXA), a French insurance holding company.
AXA beneficially owns 60.6% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the
Holding Company plus convertible preferred stock. Under its investment
arrangements with Equitable and the Holding Company, AXA is able to exercise
significant influence over the operations and capital structure of the Holding
Company and its subsidiaries, including Equitable and Equitable Variable. AXA is
the principal holding company for most of the companies in one of the largest
insurance groups in Europe. The majority of AXA's stock is controlled by a group
of five French mutual insurance companies. Equitable, the Holding Company and
their subsidiaries managed approximately $195.3 billion as of December 31, 1995.
Equitable's assets do not back the benefits that we pay under our policies.
Equitable's home office is 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE TRUST
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The Separate Account was established on April 19, 1985
under the Insurance Law of the State of New York. The Separate Account is a type
of investment company called a unit investment trust and is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (1940 Act). This registration does not involve any supervision by the SEC
of the management or investment policies of the Separate Account.
Under New York law, we own the assets of the Separate Account and use them to
support your policy and other variable life insurance policies. The portion of
the Separate Account's assets supporting these policies may not be used to
satisfy liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. This means
that the assets supporting Policy Account values maintained in the Separate
Account are not subject to the claims of our other creditors. We may also retain
in the Separate Account amounts owed to us for charges or other permitted
allocations. Because such retained amounts do not support Policy Account values,
we may transfer them from the Separate Account to our general account at our
discretion.
THE TRUST. The Separate Account has several funds, each of which invests in
shares of a corresponding portfolio of the Trust. The Trust is an open-end
diversified management investment company, more commonly called a mutual fund.
As a "series" type of mutual fund, it issues several different "series" of
stock, each of which relates to a different Trust portfolio with a different
investment policy. The Trust does not impose a sales charge or "load" for buying
and selling its shares. The Trust's shares are bought and sold by our Separate
Account at net asset value. The Trust's custodian is The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A.
The Trust sells its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies, both
affiliated and not affiliated with Equitable. We currently do not foresee any
disadvantages to our policyowners arising out of this. However, the Trust's
Board of Trustees intends to monitor events in order to identify any material
irreconcilable conflicts that possibly may arise and to determine what action,
if any, should be taken in response. If we believe that the Trust's response to
any of those events insufficiently protects our policyowners, we will see to it
that appropriate action is taken to do so. Also, if we ever believe that any of
the Trust's portfolios is so large as to materially impair the investment
performance of a portfolio or the Trust, we will examine other investment
options.
THE TRUST'S INVESTMENT ADVISER. The Trust is advised by Alliance Capital
Management L.P. (Alliance). Alliance is registered as an investment adviser
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Alliance, a publicly-traded limited
partnership, is indirectly majority-owned by Equitable. Alliance's main office
is 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105.
Alliance acts as an investment adviser to various separate accounts and general
accounts of Equitable and other affiliated insurance companies. Alliance also
provides management and consulting services to mutual funds, endowment funds,
insurance companies, foreign entities, qualified and non-tax qualified corporate
funds, public and private pension and profit-sharing plans, foundations and
tax-exempt organizations. As of December 31, 1995, Alliance was managing
approximately $146.5 billion in assets.
The advisory fee payable by the Trust is based on the following annual
percentages of the value of each portfolio's daily average net assets:

INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE TRUST'S PORTFOLIOS. Each portfolio has a different
investment objective which it tries to achieve by following separate investment
policies. The objectives and policies of each portfolio will affect its return
and its risks. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be achieved. The
policies and objectives of the Trust's portfolios are as follows:

Because Policy Account values may be invested in mutual fund options, IL
Protector offers an opportunity for the Cash Surrender Value to appreciate more
rapidly than it would under comparable fixed benefit whole life insurance. You
must, however, accept the risk that if investment performance is unfavorable,
the Cash Surrender Value may not appreciate as rapidly and, indeed, may decrease
in value.
More detailed information about the Trust, its investment policies, risks,
expenses and all other aspects of its operations, appears in its prospectus,
which is attached to this prospectus, and in its Statement of Additional
Information referred to therein.
THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT
You may allocate some or all of your Policy Account to the Guaranteed Interest
Account, which is funded by our general account and pays interest at a declared
rate guaranteed for each policy year. The principal, after deductions, is also
guaranteed. The general account supports all of our insurance and annuity
guarantees, including the Guaranteed Interest Account, as well as our general
obligations. The general account is subject to regulation and supervision by the
Insurance Department of the State of New York and to the insurance laws and
regulations of all jurisdictions where we are authorized to do business. Because
of applicable exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the general
account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act),
nor is the general account an investment company under the 1940 Act.
Accordingly, neither the general account, the Guaranteed Interest Account nor
any interests therein are subject to regulation under the 1933 Act or the 1940
Act. We have been advised that the staff of the SEC has not made a review of the
disclosures that are included in the prospectus for your information and that
relate to the general account and the Guaranteed Interest Account. These
disclosures, however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions
of the Federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of
statements made in prospectuses.
The amount you have in the Guaranteed Interest Account at any time is the sum of
the amounts allocated or transferred to it, plus the interest credited to it,
minus amounts deducted, transferred and withdrawn from it. In addition, any
policy loan is secured by an amount in your Policy Account equal to the
outstanding loan. This amount remains part of the Policy Account but is assigned
to the Guaranteed Interest Account. We refer to this amount as the loaned amount
in the Guaranteed Interest Account. A Living Benefit payment will also result in
amounts being transferred to the Guaranteed Interest Account. See LIVING BENEFIT
OPTION on page 11.
ADDING INTEREST IN THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT. We pay a declared interest
rate on all amounts that you have in the Guaranteed Interest Account. At policy
issuance, and prior to each policy anniversary, we declare the rates that will
apply to amounts in the Guaranteed Interest Account for the following policy
year. These annual interest rates will never be less than the minimum guaranteed
interest rate of 4% (before deductions). Interest is credited and compounds
daily at an effective annual rate that equals the declared rate for each policy
year. Different rates may apply to policies currently being issued and
previously issued policies. Different rates are also paid on unloaned and loaned
amounts in the Guaranteed Interest Account. See POLICY LOAN INTEREST on page 13.
Amounts securing a Living Benefit payment are considered unloaned amounts for
purposes of crediting interest.
TRANSFERS OUT OF THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT. Transfers out of the
Guaranteed Interest Account to the Separate Account are allowed once a year on
or within 30 days after your policy anniversary. If we receive your transfer
request up to 30 days before your policy anniversary, the transfer will be made
on your policy anniversary. If we receive your request on or within 30 days
after your policy anniversary, the transfer will be made as of the date we
receive your request. You may transfer up to 25% of your unloaned value in the
Guaranteed Interest Account as of the transfer date or the minimum transfer
amount, whichever is more. The minimum transfer amount is $500 or your total
unloaned value in the Guaranteed Interest Account on the transfer date,
whichever is less. Amounts securing a Living Benefit payment may not be
transferred from the Guaranteed Interest Account.

PART 2: DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT IL PROTECTOR
FLEXIBLE PREMIUMS
You may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments, as long as they are
within the limits described below. We determine the applicable minimum initial
premium based on the age, sex, rating class and tobacco user status of the
insured person, the initial Face Amount of the policy (the initial minimum Face
Amount is $50,000) and any additional benefits selected. In certain situations,
however, no distinction is made based on the sex of the insured person. See COST
OF INSURANCE CHARGE on page 15. You may choose to pay a higher initial premium.
The full minimum initial premium must be given to your agent or broker on or
before the day the policy is delivered to you. No insurance under your policy
will take effect (a) until a policy is delivered and the full minimum initial
premium is paid while the person proposed to be insured is living and (b) unless
the information in the application continues to be true and complete, without
material change, as of the time the initial premium is paid. If you have
submitted the full minimum initial premium with your application, we may,
subject to certain conditions, provide a limited amount of temporary insurance
on the proposed insured. You may review a copy of our Temporary Insurance
Agreement on request.
Premiums must be by check or money order drawn on a U.S. bank in U.S. dollars
and made payable to Equitable Variable. Premiums after the first must be sent
directly to our Administrative Office. The minimum premium is $100 (policies
issued in some states or automatic payment plans may have different minimums.)
This minimum may be increased if we give you written notice.
We may return premium payments if we determine based upon our interpretation of
current tax rules that such premiums would cause your policy to become a
modified endowment contract or to cease to qualify as life insurance under
Federal income tax law. We may also make such changes to the policy as we deem
necessary to continue to qualify the policy as life insurance. See TAX EFFECTS
on page 18 for an explanation of modified endowment contracts, the special tax
consequences of such contracts, and how your policy might become a modified
endowment contract.
PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUMS AND NO LAPSE GUARANTEE PREMIUMS. Although premiums are
flexible, pages 3 and 4 of your policy (the Policy Information Pages) will show
a "planned" periodic premium and "no lapse guarantee premiums" (if the no lapse
guarantee provision is available under your policy). We measure actual premiums
against no lapse guarantee premiums to determine whether the no lapse guarantee
provision will prevent the policy from going into default.
No lapse guarantee premiums are actuarially determined at issue based on the
age, sex, tobacco user status and rating class of the insured person, the Face
Amount and any additional benefits. No lapse guarantee premiums may change if
you make policy changes that increase or decrease the Face Amount of the policy
or a rider, add or eliminate a rider, or if there is a change in the insured
person's rating or tobacco user classification. Certain additional benefit
riders will cause no lapse guarantee premiums to increase each year. We reserve
the right to limit the amount of any premium payments which are in excess of the
greater of your initial planned periodic premium or no lapse guarantee premium.
The planned periodic premium is an amount you determine (within limits set by
us) when you apply for the policy. The planned premium may be more or less than
the no lapse guarantee premiums. Neither the planned premium nor the no lapse
guarantee premiums are required premiums.
Failure to pay premiums could cause the policy to go into default and ultimately
terminate. See YOUR POLICY CAN TERMINATE on page 17.
PREMIUM AND MONTHLY CHARGE ALLOCATIONS. On your application you provide us with
initial instructions as to how to allocate your net premiums and monthly charges
among the Funds and the Guaranteed Interest Account. Allocation percentages may
be any whole number from zero to 100, but the sum must equal 100. Allocations to
a Fund take effect on the first business day that follows the 20th calendar day
after the Issue Date of your policy. The Issue Date is shown on the Policy
Information Pages, and is the date we actually issue your policy. The date your
allocation instructions take effect is called the Allocation Date. Our business
days are described in HOW WE DETERMINE THE UNIT VALUE on page 12.
Until the Allocation Date, any net premiums allocated to a Fund will be
allocated to the Money Market Fund, and all monthly deductions allocated to a
Fund will be deducted from the Money Market Fund. On the Allocation Date,
amounts in the Money Market Fund will be allocated to the various Funds in
accordance with your policy application. We may delay the Allocation Date for
the same reasons that we would delay effecting a transfer request. There will be
no charge for the transfer out of the Money Market Fund on the Allocation Date.
You may change the allocation percentages for either your current premium
payment or the current and future premium payments by writing to our
Administrative Office and indicating the changes you wish to make. Your request
must be signed. These changes will go into effect as of the date your request is
received at our Administrative Office, but no earlier than the first business
day following the Allocation Date, and will affect transactions on and after
such date.
DEATH BENEFITS
We pay a benefit to the beneficiary of the policy when the insured person dies.
This benefit will be equal to the death benefit under your policy plus any
additional benefits included in your policy and then due, less any policy loan,
any lien securing a Living Benefit payment and accrued interest. If the insured
person dies during a grace period, we will also deduct any overdue monthly
charges.
You may choose between two death benefit options:
o OPTION A provides a death benefit equal to the policy's Face Amount. Except as
described below, the Option A benefit is fixed.
9
<PAGE>
o OPTION B provides a death benefit equal to the policy's Face Amount PLUS the
amount in your Policy Account on the day the insured person dies. Under Option
B, the value of the benefit is variable and fluctuates with the amount in your
Policy Account.
Policyowners who prefer to have favorable investment experience reflected in
increased insurance coverage should choose Option B. Policyowners who prefer to
have insurance coverage that does not vary in amount and lower cost of insurance
charges should choose Option A.
Under both options, a higher death benefit may apply. This higher death benefit
is a percentage multiple of the amount in your Policy Account. The percentage is
generally based on provisions of Federal tax law which require a minimum death
benefit in relation to cash value for your policy to qualify as life insurance.
A higher percentage multiple than that required by Federal tax law will be
applied at ages 91 and over. Since cost of insurance charges are assessed on the
difference between the Policy Account value and the death benefit, these charges
will increase if the higher death benefit takes effect.
The higher death benefit will be the amount in your Policy Account on the day
the insured person dies times the percentage for the insured person's age
(nearest birthday) at the beginning of the policy year of the insured person's
death. The percentage declines as the insured person gets older. For ages that
are not shown on the following table, the percentage multiples will decrease by
a ratable portion for each full year.
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
For example, if the insured person were 75 years old and your policy had a
Policy Account value of $200,000, the higher death benefit would be 105% of
$200,000 or $210,000.
GUARANTEEING THE DEATH BENEFIT. We will guarantee your death benefit coverage
for a period of time from issue, regardless of the policy's investment
performance, if you have paid a certain amount of premiums into your policy and
you have not withdrawn or borrowed those amounts. If your policy's Net Cash
Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the monthly deductions, the no lapse
guarantee provision can keep your policy from terminating if two conditions are
satisfied. First, any outstanding policy loan plus accrued loan interest cannot
exceed the policy's Cash Surrender Value. Second, the amount of your actual
premium payments minus any withdrawals (each accumulated at 4% interest) must
equal or exceed a benchmark premium amount. To determine this benchmark premium
amount we accumulate the no lapse guarantee premiums (shown on the Policy
Information Pages) at 4% interest.
The no lapse guarantee provision will last for twenty policy years if the issue
age of the insured person is 59 or younger and fifteen policy years if the issue
age of the insured person is 60 or older. The no lapse guarantee provision may
not be available in some states. Also, some states limit the length of time the
no lapse guarantee provision will last to 5 years or less. You should ask your
agent for further information.
CHANGES IN INSURANCE PROTECTION
CHANGING THE FACE AMOUNT. You may request an increase in the Face Amount after
the first policy year and a decrease after the second policy year. You must send
your signed written request to our Administrative Office. See TAX EFFECTS on
page 18 for the tax consequences of changing the Face Amount. If disability
waiver goes into effect (see ADDITIONAL BENEFITS MAY BE AVAILABLE on page 12),
we will not permit any Face Amount change. Any change will be subject to our
approval and the following conditions:
Face Amount Increases. To increase the Face Amount, you must provide
satisfactory evidence that the insured person is still insurable. The cost of
insurance rate for the amount of the increase will be based on the rating class,
attained age and tobacco user status of the insured person on the date of the
increase and on the insured person's sex. See COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE on page
15. We reserve the right to decline face amount increases if the insured person
has become a more expensive risk.
Any increase must be at least $10,000. No lapse guarantee premiums as well as
monthly deductions from your Policy Account for the cost of insurance will
generally increase beginning on the date the increase takes effect. An
administrative charge of $1.50 for each additional $1,000 of insurance (up to a
maximum charge of $240) will be deducted from your Policy Account. See HOW
POLICY ACCOUNT CHARGES ARE ALLOCATED on page 16. This charge does not apply to
face amount increases made under the Cost of Living rider.
A Surrender Charge will generally be applicable to a Face Amount increase for
fifteen years from the effective date of the increase. Face Amount reductions
will be applied against prior Face Amount increases, if any, in the reverse
order in which such increases occurred, and then to the original Face Amount.
See SURRENDER CHARGE on page 16.
You will have the right to cancel the Face Amount increase within the later of
(1) 45 days after the application for the increase is signed, (2) 10 days after
receipt of a new Policy Information Pages showing the increase and (3) 10 days
after we mail or personally deliver a Notice of Cancellation Right. If you
cancel the increase we will reverse any charges attributable to the increase and
recalculate the Policy Account value, Cash Surrender Value and Surrender Charge
to what they would have been had the increase not taken place. No Surrender
Charge will be incurred upon cancellation. We reserve the right not to offer the
cancellation right for Face Amount increases if we are no longer required to do
so under applicable law.
10
<PAGE>
Face Amount Decreases. You may reduce the Face Amount but not below the minimum
we require to issue this policy at the time of the reduction. Any reduction must
be at least $10,000. No lapse guarantee premiums as well as monthly deductions
from your Policy Account for the cost of insurance will generally decrease,
beginning on the date the decrease in Face Amount takes effect.
If you reduce the Face Amount during the first fifteen policy years or during
the first fifteen years after a Face Amount increase, we may deduct a pro rata
share of the Surrender Charge from the Policy Account. Assuming you have not
previously changed the Face Amount, the pro rata Surrender Charge for a partial
surrender will be determined by dividing the amount of the Face Amount decrease
by the initial Face Amount and multiplying that fraction by the Surrender
Charge. Face Amount reductions will be applied against prior Face Amount
increases, if any, in the reverse order in which such increases occurred, and
then to the original Face Amount. See DEDUCTIONS FROM YOUR POLICY ACCOUNT on
page 15 and SURRENDER CHARGE on page 16.
CHANGING THE DEATH BENEFIT OPTION. At any time after the second policy year
while your policy is in force, you may change the death benefit option by
sending a signed written request to our Administrative Office. See TAX EFFECTS
on page 18 for the tax consequences of changing the death benefit option.
o If you change from OPTION A TO OPTION B, the Face Amount will be decreased
by the amount in your Policy Account on the date of the change. We may not
allow such a change if it would reduce the Face Amount below the minimum
required to issue this policy at the time of the reduction. We may require
evidence of insurability to make the change.
o If you change from OPTION B TO OPTION A, the Face Amount will be increased
by the amount in the Policy Account on the date of the change.
These increases and decreases in Face Amount are made so that the amount of the
death benefit remains the same on the date of the change. When the death benefit
remains the same, there is no change in the net amount at risk, which is the
amount on which cost of insurance charges are based (see COST OF INSURANCE
CHARGE on page 15). If your death benefit is determined by a percentage multiple
of the Policy Account, however, the new Face Amount will be determined
differently. No Surrender Charges will be deducted or established at the time of
the change.
SUBSTITUTION OF INSURED PERSON. If you provide satisfactory evidence that the
person proposed to be insured is insurable, then, subject to certain
restrictions, you may, after the second policy year, substitute the insured
person under your policy. The cost of insurance charges may change, but we will
not change the Surrender Charge. Substituting the insured person is a taxable
event and may, depending upon individual circumstances, have other adverse tax
consequences as well, including classification of the policy as a modified
endowment contract or disqualification of the policy as life insurance for
Federal income tax purposes unless funds are distributed out of the policy. See
TAX EFFECTS on page 18. You should consult your tax adviser prior to
substituting the insured person. As a condition to substituting the insured
person we may require you to sign a form acknowledging the potential tax
consequences of making this change. A $100 charge will be deducted from the
Policy Account for each substitution of insured person.
WHEN POLICY CHANGES GO INTO EFFECT. A substitution of the insured person, or
change in Face Amount or death benefit option, will go into effect at the
beginning of the policy month that coincides with or follows the date we approve
the request for the change. In some cases we may not approve a change because
based upon our interpretation of current rules, the change might disqualify your
policy as life insurance under applicable Federal tax law. In other cases there
may be adverse tax consequences as a result of the change. See TAX EFFECTS on
page 18.
MATURITY BENEFIT
If the insured person is still living on the policy anniversary nearest his or
her 100th birthday (Final Policy Date), we will pay you the amount in the Policy
Account net of any policy loan, any lien securing a Living Benefit payment and
accrued interest. The policy will then terminate. You may choose to have this
benefit paid in installments. See TAX EFFECTS on page 18 and YOUR PAYMENT
OPTIONS on page 22.
LIVING BENEFIT OPTION
Subject to our underwriting guidelines and availability in your state, our
Living Benefit rider will be added to your policy at issue. The Living Benefit
rider enables the policyowner to receive a portion of the policy's death benefit
(excluding death benefits payable under certain riders) if the insured person
has a terminal illness. Certain eligibility requirements apply when you submit a
Living Benefit claim (for example, satisfactory evidence of less than six month
life expectancy). There is no additional charge for the rider, but we will
deduct an administrative charge of up to $250 from the proceeds of the Living
Benefit payment. In addition, if you tell us that you do not wish to have the
rider added at issue, but you later ask to add it, additional underwriting will
be required and there will be a $100 administrative charge.
When a Living Benefit claim is paid, we establish a lien against the policy. The
amount of the lien is the sum of the Living Benefit payment and any accrued
interest on that payment. Interest will be charged at a rate equal to the
greater of: (i) the yield on a 90-day Treasury bill and (ii) the maximum
adjustable policy loan interest rate permitted in the state your policy is
delivered. See BORROWING FROM YOUR POLICY ACCOUNT -- POLICY LOAN INTEREST on
page 13.
Until a death benefit is paid, or the policy is surrendered, a portion of the
lien is allocated to the policy's Cash Surrender Value. This liened amount will
be transferred to the Guaranteed Interest Account where it will earn interest at
the same rate as unloaned amounts. See THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT on page
8. This liened amount will not be available for loans, transfers or partial
withdrawals. Any death benefit, maturity benefit or Net Cash Surrender Value
payable upon policy surrender will be reduced by the amount of the lien.
11
<PAGE>
Unlike a death benefit received by a beneficiary after the death of an insured,
receipt of a Living Benefit payment may be taxable as a distribution under the
policy. See TAX EFFECTS on page 18 for a discussion of the tax treatment of
distributions under the policy. Consult your tax adviser. Receipt of a Living
Benefit payment may also affect a policyowner's eligibility for certain
government benefits or entitlements. You should contact your Equitable agent if
you wish to make a claim under the rider.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS MAY BE AVAILABLE
Your policy may include additional benefits. A monthly charge will be deducted
from your Policy Account for each additional benefit you choose. Eligibility for
and changes in these benefits are subject to our underwriting and other rules.
More details will be included in your policy if you choose any of these
benefits. The following additional benefits are currently available: disability
waiver benefit, accidental death benefit, children's term insurance, term
insurance on an additional insured person, option to purchase additional
insurance and a cost of living rider.
The option to purchase additional insurance permits you to purchase additional
amounts of insurance on the insured person, without evidence of insurability,
upon the occurrence of certain specified events.
The Cost of Living rider provides for scheduled automatic Face Amount increases,
within limits, that reflect increases in the cost of living as measured by the
Consumer Price Index. These Face Amount increases will result in a change to
your no lapse guarantee premium, and, except as described below, we may
establish an additional Surrender Charge corresponding to the increased amount.
The administrative charge applicable to face amount increases does not apply to
increases made under this rider. See SURRENDER CHARGE on page 16. See also TAX
EFFECTS on page 18 for the tax consequences of a Face Amount increase. We have
filed an application with the SEC seeking an exemption from the 1940 Act in
connection with the Surrender Charge to be imposed following a face amount
increase under the Cost of Living rider. If you purchase this rider and the SEC
does not grant our application, we will not impose any Surrender Charge
attributable to face amount increases made under the rider. We have reasonable
grounds to believe that the SEC will grant the exemption. We may discontinue
making new sales of this rider at any time.
YOUR POLICY ACCOUNT VALUE
The amount in your Policy Account is the sum of the amounts you have in the
Guaranteed Interest Account and in the Funds. Your Policy Account also reflects
various charges. See DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES on page 15.
AMOUNTS IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. Amounts allocated, transferred or added to a
Fund are used to purchase units of that Fund. Units are redeemed from a Fund
when amounts are withdrawn, transferred or deducted for charges or capitalized
loan interest. The number of units purchased or redeemed in a Fund is calculated
by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the Fund's unit value
calculated after the close of business that day. On any given day, the value you
have in a Fund is the unit value for that Fund times the number of units
credited to you in that Fund.
HOW WE DETERMINE THE UNIT VALUE. We determine unit values for the Funds at the
end of each business day. The unit value that applies to a transaction taking
effect on a business day will be the unit value calculated at the close of
business on that day. Generally, a business day is any day we are open and the
New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. We are closed for national business
holidays, including Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and also on the Friday after
Thanksgiving. Additionally, we may choose to close on the day immediately
preceding or following a national business holiday or due to emergency
conditions. We will not process any policy transactions received on those days
other than a policy anniversary report and the payment of death benefit
proceeds. The unit value for any business day is equal to the unit value for the
preceding business day multiplied by the net investment factor for that Fund on
that business day.
A net investment factor is determined for each Fund of the Separate Account
every business day as follows: first, we take the net asset value of a share in
the corresponding Trust portfolio at the close of business that day, as reported
by the Trust, and we add the per share amount of any dividends or capital gains
distributions paid by the Trust on that day. We divide this amount by the per
share net asset value on the preceding business day. Then, we subtract a daily
mortality and expense risk charge for each calendar day between business days
(for example, a Monday calculation may include charges for Saturday, Sunday and
Monday). The daily mortality and expense risk charge is at an annual rate of
.80%. See CHARGES AGAINST THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT on page 16. Finally, we reserve
the right to subtract any daily charge for taxes or amounts set aside as a
reserve for taxes.
TRANSFERS OF POLICY ACCOUNT VALUE. You may request a transfer of amounts among
Funds or to the Guaranteed Interest Account either by telephone or by submitting
a written, signed request. Special rules apply to transfers out of the
Guaranteed Interest Account and to telephone transfers. See TRANSFERS OUT OF THE
GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT on page 8 and TELEPHONE TRANSFERS on page 13.
The minimum amount which may be transferred is $500. This minimum need not come
from any one Fund or be transferred to any one Fund as long as the total amount
transferred that day, including any amounts transferred to or from the
Guaranteed Interest Account, is at least equal to the minimum. However, we will
transfer the entire amount in any Fund even if it is less than the minimum
specified in your policy. A lower minimum amount applies to our Automatic
Transfer Service which is described below.
Transfers take effect on the date we receive your request, but no earlier than
the first business day following the Allocation Date. When part of a transfer
request cannot be processed, we will not process any part of the request. This
could occur, for example, where the request does not comply with our transfer
limitations, or where the request is for a transfer of an amount greater than
that currently allocated to a Fund. We may delay making a transfer if the New
York Stock Exchange is closed or the SEC has declared that an emergency exists.
In addition, we may delay transfers where permitted under applicable law.
AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SERVICE. The Automatic Transfer Service enables you to make
automatic monthly transfers out of the Money Market Fund into the other Funds.
To start using this service you must first complete a special election form that
is available from your agent or our
12
<PAGE>
Administrative Office. You must also have a minimum of $5,000 in the Money
Market Fund on the date the Automatic Transfer Service is scheduled to begin.
You can elect up to eight Funds for monthly transfers, but the minimum amount
that may be transferred to each Fund each month is $50.
If you elect the Automatic Transfer Service with your policy application, the
automatic transfers will begin in the second policy month following the
Allocation Date. If you elect the Automatic Transfer Service after your
application has been submitted, automatic transfers will begin on the next
monthly processing date after we receive your election form at our
Administrative Office. See POLICY PERIODS, ANNIVERSARIES, DATES AND AGES on page
17.
The Automatic Transfer Service will remain in effect until the earliest of the
following events: (1) the amount in the Money Market Fund is insufficient to
cover the automatic transfer amount; (2) the policy is in a grace period; (3) we
receive at our Administrative Office your written instruction to cancel the
Automatic Transfer Service; or (4) we receive notice of death under the policy.
Using the Automatic Transfer Service does not guarantee a profit or protect
against loss in a declining market.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS. In order to make transfers by telephone, you must first
complete and return an authorization form. Authorization forms can be obtained
from your Equitable agent or our Administrative Office. The completed signed
form MUST be returned to our Administrative Office before requesting a telephone
transfer.
Telephone transfers may be requested on each day we are open to transact
business. You will receive the Fund's unit values as of the close of business on
the day you call. We do not accept telephone transfer requests after 4:00 p.m.
Eastern Time. Only one telephone transfer request is permitted per day and it
may not be revoked at any time. The telephone transfer requests are
automatically recorded and are invalid if incomplete information is given,
portions of the request are inaudible, no authorization form is on file, or the
request does not comply with the transfer limitations described above.
We have established reasonable procedures designed to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine. Such procedures include requiring certain
personal identification information prior to acting on telephone instructions
and providing written confirmation of instructions communicated by telephone. If
we do not employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated
by telephone are genuine, we may be liable for any losses arising out of any act
or any failure to act resulting from our own negligence, lack of good faith, or
willful misconduct. In light of the procedures established, we will not be
liable for following telephone instructions that we reasonably believe to be
genuine.
During times of extreme market activity it may be impossible to contact us to
make a telephone transfer. If this occurs, you should submit a written transfer
request to our Administrative Office. Our rules on telephone transfers are
subject to change and we reserve the right to discontinue telephone transfers in
the future.
CHARGE FOR TRANSFERS. We have reserved the right under your policy to make a
charge of up to $25 for transfers of Policy Account value. Currently, you will
be able to make 12 free transfers in any policy year, but we will charge $25 per
transfer after the twelfth transfer. Transfers made through the Automatic
Transfer Service or on the Allocation Date will not count toward the twelve free
transfers. No charge will ever apply to the transfer of all of your amounts in
the Separate Account to the Guaranteed Interest Account.
BORROWING FROM YOUR POLICY ACCOUNT
You may borrow up to 90% of your policy's Cash Surrender Value using only your
policy as security for the loan. Any new loan must be at least $500. If you
request an additional loan, the additional amount will be added to the
outstanding loan and accrued loan interest. Any amount that secures a loan
remains part of your Policy Account but is assigned to the Guaranteed Interest
Account. This loaned amount earns an interest rate expected to be different from
the interest rate for unloaned amounts. Amounts securing a Living Benefit
payment are not available for policy loans.
HOW TO REQUEST A LOAN. You may request a loan by sending a signed written
request to our Administrative Office. You should tell us how much of the loan
you want taken from your unloaned amount in the Guaranteed Interest Account and
how much you want taken from the Funds. If you request a loan from a Fund, we
will redeem units sufficient to cover that part of the loan and transfer the
amount to the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. The amounts you
have in each Fund or the Account will be determined as of the day your request
for a loan is received at our Administrative Office.
If you do not indicate how you wish to allocate it, the loan will be allocated
according to the deduction allocation percentages applicable to your Policy
Account. If the loan cannot be allocated based on these percentages, it will be
allocated based on the proportions of your unloaned amount in the Guaranteed
Interest Account and your values in the Funds bear to the total unloaned value
of your Policy Account.
POLICY LOAN INTEREST. Interest on a policy loan accrues daily at an adjustable
interest rate. We determine the rate at the beginning of each policy year. The
same rate applies to any outstanding policy loans and any new amounts you borrow
during the year. You will be notified of the current rate when you apply for a
loan. The maximum rate is the greater of 5%, or the "Published Monthly Average"
for the month that ends two months before the interest rate is set. The
"Published Monthly Average" is the Monthly Average Corporates yield shown in
Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Averages published by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. If this average is no longer published, we will use any successor or the
average established by the insurance supervisory official of the jurisdiction in
which the policy is delivered. We will not charge more than the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law. We may also set a rate lower than the maximum.
Any change in the rate from one year to the next will be at least 1/2%. The
maximum loan interest rate will only change, therefore, if the Published Monthly
Average differs from the previous interest rate by at least 1/2 of 1%. You will
be notified in advance of any increase in the interest rate on any loan you have
outstanding.
13
<PAGE>
When you borrow on your policy, the amount of your loan is set aside in the
Guaranteed Interest Account where it earns a declared rate for loaned amounts.
The interest rate we credit to the loaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest
Account will be at an annual rate up to 2% less than the loan interest rate we
charge. However, we reserve the right to credit a lower rate than this if tax
laws change such that our taxes on policy loans or policy loan interest are
increased.
Under our current rules, the rate we credit on loaned amounts for the first
fifteen policy years is 1% less than the rate we charge for policy loan
interest, and beginning in the sixteenth policy year, the rate difference drops
from 1% to 1/4 of 1%. Because IL Protector was offered for the first time in
1996, no reduction in the rate difference in the sixteenth policy year has yet
been attained. These rate differentials are those currently in effect and are
not guaranteed. Interest credited on loaned amounts will never be less than 4%.
Interest accrues daily on any loaned amount in the Guaranteed Interest Account.
On each policy anniversary and any time you repay a policy loan in full, accrued
interest on the loaned amount is allocated to the Separate Account Funds and to
the unloaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account in accordance with your
premium allocation percentages.
WHEN INTEREST IS DUE. Interest is due on each policy anniversary. If you do not
pay the interest when it is due, it will be added to your outstanding loan and
allocated based on the deduction allocation percentages for your Policy Account
which are then in effect. This means an additional loan is made to pay the
interest and amounts are transferred from the Funds to make the loan. If the
interest cannot be allocated on this basis, it will be allocated as described
above for allocating your loan.
REPAYING THE LOAN. You may repay all or part of a policy loan at any time. While
you have a policy loan, we assume that any money you send us is a premium
payment. If you wish to have any of these payments applied as a loan repayment,
you must specifically so indicate in writing. Loan repayments are not subject to
charges for applicable taxes or a Premium Sales Charge. Any amount not needed to
repay a loan and accrued loan interest will be applied as a premium payment. We
will first allocate loan repayments to our Guaranteed Interest Account until the
amount of any loans originally allocated to that Account have been repaid. After
you have repaid this amount, you may choose how you want us to allocate the
balance of any additional repayments. If you do not provide specific
instructions, repayments will be allocated on the basis of your premium
allocation percentages.
THE EFFECTS OF A POLICY LOAN. A loan will have a permanent effect on the value
of your Policy Account and, therefore, on the benefits under your policy, even
if the loan is repaid. The loaned amount set aside in the Guaranteed Interest
Account will not be available for investment in the Funds or in the unloaned
portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. Whether you earn more or less with
the loaned amount set aside depends on the investment experience of the Funds
and the rates declared for the unloaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest
Account. The amount of any policy loan and accrued loan interest will reduce the
proceeds paid from your policy upon the death of the insured person, policy
maturity or policy surrender. In addition, a loan will reduce the amount
available for you to withdraw from your policy. See TAX EFFECTS on page 18 for
the tax consequences of a policy loan. A loan may also affect the length of time
that your insurance remains in force because the amount set aside to secure your
loan cannot be used to cover monthly deductions. A loan may prevent the no lapse
guarantee provision from keeping the policy out of default. See YOUR POLICY CAN
TERMINATE on page 17.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS AND SURRENDER
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. At any time after the first policy year while the insured
person is living, you may request a partial withdrawal of your Net Cash
Surrender Value by sending a signed written request to our Administrative
Office. When you make a partial withdrawal, an expense charge of $25 or 2% of
the amount requested, whichever is less, will be deducted from your Policy
Account. Any such withdrawal is subject to our approval and to certain
conditions. Amounts securing a Living Benefit payment are not available for
partial withdrawals. In addition, we reserve the right to decline a request for
a partial withdrawal. Under our current rules, a withdrawal must:
o be at least $500,
o not cause the death benefit to fall below the minimum Face Amount for which
we would issue the policy at the time, and
o not cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under applicable
tax law.
You may specify how much of the withdrawal you want taken from amounts you have
in each Fund and the unloaned portion of the Guaranteed Interest Account. If you
do not specifically indicate, we will make the withdrawal and deduct the related
expense charge on the basis of your deduction allocation percentages. If we
cannot make the withdrawal and deduct the expense charge in the manner discussed
above, we will make the withdrawal and deduction based on the proportions that
your unloaned amounts in the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Funds bear to
the total unloaned value of your Policy Account.
A partial withdrawal reduces the amount you have in your Policy Account and Cash
Surrender Value on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Normally, it also reduces the
death benefit on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but generally does not affect the
net amount at risk, which is the difference between the current death benefit
and the amount in your Policy Account. If you selected death benefit Option A,
the Face Amount of your policy will generally be reduced so that there will be
no change in the net amount at risk. However, under either option, if the death
benefit is based on the Policy Account percentage multiple, the reduction in
death benefit would be greater and the net amount at risk would be reduced. See
DEATH BENEFITS on page 9. The withdrawal and these reductions will be effective
as of the date your request is received at our Administrative Office. See TAX
EFFECTS on page 18 for the tax consequences of a partial withdrawal and a
reduction in benefits.
14
<PAGE>
SURRENDER FOR NET CASH SURRENDER VALUE. The Cash Surrender Value is the amount
in your Policy Account minus the Surrender Charges described under SURRENDER
CHARGE on page 16. The Net Cash Surrender Value equals the Cash Surrender Value
minus any loan and accrued loan interest.
You may surrender your policy for its Net Cash Surrender Value at any time while
the insured person is living. In addition to your express instruction to
surrender the policy, your request must include the policy number, your name,
the name of the insured person, and the address where proceeds should be mailed.
You, as the owner, must sign the request. The request must also be signed by any
joint owner, collateral assignee or irrevocable beneficiary. If you do not want
income tax withheld from the Net Cash Surrender Value you should also include a
completed withholding authorization (I.R.S. Form W-9). We make available a
surrender request form that you can obtain from our Administrative Office or
your Equitable agent. See TAX EFFECTS on page 18 for the tax consequences of a
surrender.
We will deduct from the Net Cast Surrender Value any amount securing a Living
Benefit payment. We will compute the Net Cash Surrender Value as of the date we
receive your written surrender request and the policy at our Administrative
Office. All insurance coverage under your policy will end on that date.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS. Charges for certain taxes are deducted from all
premiums. In addition a Premium Sales Charge will be deducted from your premiums
as specified below. The balance of each premium (the net premium) is placed in
your Policy Account.
Charge for Taxes. We deduct a charge designed to approximate certain taxes and
additional charges imposed upon us by states and certain jurisdictions. Such
charges currently range from .75% to 5% (Virgin Islands).
This charge may be increased or decreased to reflect any changes in our taxes.
In addition, if an insured person changes his or her place of residence, you
should notify us to change our records so that the charge will reflect the new
jurisdiction. Any change will take effect on the next policy anniversary, if
received at least 60 days prior to the policy anniversary.
Premium Sales Charge. A percentage of each premium will be deducted to
compensate us in part for sales and promotional expenses in connection with
selling IL Protector, such as commissions, the cost of preparing sales
literature, other promotional activities and other direct and indirect expenses.
We pay these expenses from our own resources, including the Premium Sales
Charge, any Surrender Charge we might collect and any profit we may earn on the
charges deducted under the policy, such as the mortality and expense risk
charge. See SURRENDER CHARGE on page 16. The Premium Sales Charge is equal to 6%
of premiums paid.
DEDUCTIONS FROM YOUR POLICY ACCOUNT. At the beginning of each policy month, the
following charges are deducted from your Policy Account:
Monthly Administrative Charge. The administrative charge is designed to cover
the costs of issuing your policy and the costs of maintaining your policy, such
as billing, policy transactions and policyowner communications. This charge is
designed to reimburse us for expenses and we do not expect to profit from it.
The amount of the monthly administrative charge during the first policy year is
equal to $25 per month. During subsequent years, the monthly administrative
charge is $6. We may increase this charge, but we guarantee that it will never
exceed $10 per month.
Cost Of Insurance Charge. The cost of insurance charge is calculated by
multiplying the net amount at risk at the beginning of the policy month by the
monthly cost of insurance rate applicable to the insured person at that time.
The net amount at risk is the difference between the current death benefit and
the amount in your Policy Account.
Your cost of insurance charge will vary from month to month with changes in the
net amount at risk. For example, if the current death benefit for the month is
increased because the death benefit is based on a percentage multiple of the
Policy Account, then the net amount at risk for the month will increase.
Assuming the percentage multiple is not in effect, increases or decreases to the
Policy Account will result in a corresponding decrease or increase to the net
amount at risk under Option A policies, but no change to the net amount at risk
under Option B policies. Increases or decreases to the Policy Account can result
from making premium payments, investment experience or the deduction of charges.
The monthly cost of insurance rate applicable to your policy will be based on
our current monthly cost of insurance rates. The current monthly cost of
insurance rates may be changed from time to time. However, the current rates
will never be more than the guaranteed maximum rates set forth in your policy.
The guaranteed rates are based on the Commissioner's 1980 Standard Ordinary Male
and Female Smoker and Non-Smoker Mortality Tables. The current and guaranteed
monthly cost of insurance rates are determined based on the sex, age, rating
class and tobacco user status of the insured person. In addition, the current
rates also vary depending on the duration of the policy (i.e., the length of
time since a policy has been issued).
Beginning in the tenth policy year, current monthly cost of insurance charges
are reduced by an amount equal to a percentage of your unloaned Policy Account
Value on the date such charges are assessed. This means that the larger your
unloaned Policy Account Value, the greater your potential reduction in current
cost of insurance charges. This percentage begins at an annual rate of .05%,
grading up to an annual rate of .65% in policy years 25 and later. This cost of
insurance charge reduction applies on a current basis and is not guaranteed.
Because IL Protector was offered for the first time in 1996, no reduction of
cost of insurance charges in the tenth policy year has yet been attained.
Lower current cost of insurance rates apply at most ages for insured persons who
qualify as non-tobacco users. To qualify, an insured person must meet additional
requirements that relate to tobacco use. In addition, the insured person must be
age twenty or over. Insured persons who are under twenty years of age may ask us
to review their current tobacco habits when they reach the policy anniversary
nearest their twentieth birthday.

There will be no distinctions based on sex in the cost of insurance rates for IL
Protector policies sold in Montana. Cost of insurance rates applicable to a
policy issued in Montana will not be greater than the comparable male rates set
forth or illustrated in this prospectus. Similarly, illustrated policy values in
Part 4 would be no less favorable for comparable policies issued in this state.
The guaranteed cost of insurance rates for IL Protector policies in this state
are based on the Commissioner's 1980 Standard Ordinary SB Smoker and NB
Non-Smoker Mortality Table.
Congress and the legislatures of various states have from time to time
considered legislation that would require insurance rates to be the same for
males and females of the same age, rating class and tobacco user status. In
addition, employers and employee organizations should consider, in consultation
with counsel, the impact of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on the
purchase of IL Protector in connection with an employment-related insurance or
benefit plan. In a 1983 decision, the United States Supreme Court held that,
under Title VII, optional annuity benefits under a deferred compensation plan
could not vary on the basis of sex.
Charges For Additional Benefits. The cost of any additional benefits you choose
will be deducted monthly. Your policy contains tables showing the guaranteed
maximum charges for all of these insurance costs.
Transaction Charges. In addition to the monthly deductions from your Policy
Account described above, we charge fees for certain policy transactions: see
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS on page 14, CHANGING THE FACE AMOUNT on page 10,
SUBSTITUTION OF INSURED PERSON on page 11, LIVING BENEFIT OPTION on page 11 and
TRANSFERS OF POLICY ACCOUNT VALUE on page 12. Also, if, after your policy is
issued, you request more than one illustration in a policy year, we may charge a
fee. See ILLUSTRATIONS OF POLICY BENEFITS on page 26.
How Policy Account Charges Are Allocated. Generally, deductions from your Policy
Account for monthly charges are made from the Funds and the unloaned portion of
our Guaranteed Interest Account in accordance with the deduction allocation
percentages specified in your application unless you instruct us in writing to
do otherwise. See PREMIUM AND MONTHLY CHARGE ALLOCATIONS on page 9. If a
deduction cannot be made in accordance with these percentages, it will be made
based on the proportions that your unloaned amounts in the Guaranteed Interest
Account and your amounts in the Funds bear to the total unloaned value of your
Policy Account.
Changes. Any changes in the cost of insurance rates, charges for additional
benefits, Premium Sales Charge, mortality and expense risk charge or
administrative charges will be by class of insured person and will be based on
changes in future expectations about such factors as investment earnings,
mortality, the length of time policies will remain in effect, expenses and
taxes. We reserve the right to make a charge in the future for taxes or reserves
set aside for taxes, which would reduce the investment experience of the Funds.
See TAX EFFECTS on page 18.
CHARGE AGAINST THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. This charge is reflected in the unit values
for the Funds of the Separate Account. See HOW WE DETERMINE THE UNIT VALUE on
page 12.
A daily charge for assuming MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS will be made. The annual
rate is .80%. We are committed to fulfilling our obligations under the policy
and providing service to you over the lifetime of your policy. Despite the
uncertainty of future events, we guarantee that monthly administrative and cost
of insurance deductions from your Policy Account will never be greater than the
maximum amounts shown in your policy. In making this guarantee, we assume the
mortality risk that insured persons will live for shorter periods than we
estimated. When this happens, we have to pay a greater amount of death benefit
than we expected to pay in relation to the cost of insurance charges we
received. We also assume the expense risk that the cost of issuing and
administering policies will be greater than we expected. If the amount collected
from this charge exceeds losses from the risks assumed, it will be to our
profit.
TRUST CHARGES. The Funds purchase shares of the Trust at net asset value. That
price reflects investment management fees and other direct expenses that have
already been deducted from the assets of the Trust. The Trust does not impose a
sales charge. See THE TRUST'S INVESTMENT ADVISER on page 6.
SURRENDER CHARGE. There will be a difference between the amount in your Policy
Account and the Cash Surrender Value of your policy for at least the first
fifteen policy years. This difference is the result of the Surrender Charge
(which is a contingent deferred sales load). See also PREMIUM SALES CHARGE on
page 15. This charge is contingent because you pay it only if you surrender your
policy, reduce its Face Amount or it terminates. This charge is deferred because
we do not deduct it from your premiums. Because the Surrender Charge is
contingent and deferred, the amount we might collect in a policy year is not
related to the actual sales expenses for that year. A table of the maximum
Surrender Charge appears on the Policy Information Pages.
Assuming you have not previously changed the Face Amount, the pro rata Surrender
Charge for a partial surrender will be determined by dividing the amount of the
Face Amount decrease by the initial Face Amount and multiplying that fraction by
the Surrender Charge. Face Amount reductions will be applied against prior Face
Amount increases, if any, in the reverse order in which such increases occurred,
and then to the original Face Amount.
To determine the Surrender Charge, "target" premiums are used. Target premiums
are not based on the "planned" premium you determine, but are actuarially
determined based on the age, sex and tobacco user status of the insured person.
The maximum Surrender Charge for the initial Face Amount of your policy (the
"base policy") will equal 66% of one target premium. This maximum will not vary
based on the amount of premiums you pay or when you pay them. After the first
nine policy years, this maximum Surrender Charge on the base policy begins to
decrease by 11% per year on a monthly basis for policy years ten through
fifteen. After fifteen years, the Surrender Charge attributable to the base
policy expires.
Subject to the maximum, the Surrender Charge is calculated based on your actual
premium payments. The Surrender Charge is equal to 24% of premiums paid in the
first policy year up to one target premium, and 3% of premiums paid thereafter
through the fifteenth policy year.
16
<PAGE>
Attempting to structure the timing and amount of premium payments to reduce the
potential Surrender Charge below the maximum is not recommended. Paying small
amounts of premium in the policy's first fifteen years to reduce the potential
Surrender Charge could increase the risk that your policy will terminate without
value.
If you increase the Face Amount above the previous highest Face Amount (computed
without regard to changes in Face Amount resulting from changing the death
benefit options but including increases resulting from the cost of living
rider), we will establish an additional Surrender Charge corresponding to the
increased amount. An additional target premium attributable to the increase will
be established and the additional Surrender Charge will be subject to the same
maximum percentage of 66%. This maximum will start to decline in the tenth year
after the increase in the same manner as the Surrender Charge on the base
policy.
A portion of each premium payment made after a Face Amount increase will be
deemed to be attributable to such increase, even if you do not increase the
amount or frequency of your premium payments. The allocation of premiums between
the base policy and Face Amount increases is actuarially determined in
accordance with SEC regulations.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT IL PROTECTOR
YOUR POLICY CAN TERMINATE. Your insurance coverage under IL Protector continues
as long as the Net Cash Surrender Value of the policy is enough to pay the
monthly deductions. The Net Cash Surrender Value equals the Cash Surrender Value
minus any loan and accrued loan interest. If the Net Cash Surrender Value at the
beginning of any policy month is less than the deductions for that month, your
policy will go into default unless the no lapse guarantee provision is in
effect. See GUARANTEEING THE DEATH BENEFIT on page 10.
If your policy goes into default, we will notify you, and any assignees on our
records, in writing, that a 61-day grace period has begun and indicate the
payment that is needed to avoid policy termination at the end of the grace
period. The required payment will not be more than an amount which would
increase the Net Cash Surrender Value to cover total monthly deductions for
three months (without regard to any investment performance in the Policy
Account). The required payment and any residual Policy Account value will be
used to cover the overdue deductions. However, if your Policy Account has
unfavorable investment experience, the required payment may not be sufficient to
cover the overdue deductions on the date we receive the payment. In this case, a
new 61-day grace period will begin. While a policy is in a grace period, you may
not transfer Policy Account value or make other policy changes.
If we do not receive payment within the 61 days, your policy will terminate
without value. We will withdraw any amount left in your Policy Account and apply
this amount to the overdue deductions, any applicable Surrender Charge and any
unpaid loan and accrued loan interest. We will inform you, and any assignee, at
last known addresses that your policy has ended without value. See TAX EFFECTS
on page 18 for the potential tax consequences of the termination of a policy.
YOU MAY RESTORE A POLICY AFTER IT TERMINATES. You may restore a policy within
six months after it terminates if you provide evidence that the insured person
(and any other person insured under a rider) is still insurable, and you make
the premium payment that we require to restore the policy. The required premium
will not be more than an amount sufficient to cover (i) total monthly deductions
for 3 months, calculated from the effective date of restoration; (ii) the
monthly administrative charges from the beginning of the grace period to the
effective date of restoration; (iii) any excess of the applicable Surrender
Charge on the date of restoration over the Surrender Charge that was deducted on
the date of default; and (iv) the charge for taxes, the Premium Sales Charge,
and any increase in Surrender Charge associated with this payment. We will
determine the amount of this required premium as if no interest or investment
performance were credited to, or charged against, your Policy Account. The
policy will be restored as of the beginning of the policy month which coincides
with or follows the date we approve your application. Your reinstated policy
will not have any loan balance even if there was a loan outstanding under the
terminated policy.
From the required payment we will deduct the charge for applicable taxes and the
Premium Sales Charge. On the effective date of restoration, the Policy Account
will be equal to the balance of the required payment plus a Surrender Charge
credit. This credit will be equal to the Surrender Charge that was deducted on
the date of default, but not greater than the applicable Surrender Charge as of
the effective date of restoration. We will start to make monthly deductions as
of the effective date of restoration. On that date, the monthly administrative
charges from the beginning of the grace period to the effective date of
restoration will be deducted from the Policy Account. See TAX EFFECTS on page 18
for the potential tax consequences of restoring a terminated policy. Some states
may vary the time period and conditions for policy restoration.
POLICY PERIODS, ANNIVERSARIES, DATES AND AGES. When an application for an IL
Protector policy is completed and submitted to us, we decide whether or not to
issue the policy. This decision is made based on the information in the
application and our standards for issuing insurance and classifying risks. If we
decide not to issue a policy, any premium paid will be refunded.
The Issue Date, shown on the Policy Information Pages, is the date your policy
is actually issued, but if we have advanced the Register Date, the Issue Date
will be the same as the Register Date. Generally, contestability is measured
from the Issue Date, as is the suicide exclusion.
The Register Date, also shown on the Policy Information Pages, is used to
measure policy years and policy months. Charges and deductions are first made as
of the Register Date. As to when coverage under the policy begins, see FLEXIBLE
PREMIUMS on page 9.
Generally, we determine the Register Date based upon when we receive your full
minimum initial premium. In most cases:
o If you submit the full minimum initial premium to your Equitable agent at
the time you sign the application, and we issue the policy as it was applied
for, then the Register Date will be the later of (a) the date part I of the
policy application was signed or, (b) the date part II of the policy
application was signed by a medical professional.
17
<PAGE>
o If we do not receive your full minimum initial premium at our Administrative
Office before the Issue Date or, if the policy is not issued as applied for,
the Register Date will be the same as the Issue Date.
An early Register Date may be permitted for employer sponsored cases in order to
accommodate a common Register Date for all employees. We may also permit
policyowners to advance a Register Date (up to three months) in employer
sponsored cases. An early Register Date may also be permitted to provide a
younger age at issue.
The investment start date is the date that your initial net premium begins to
vary with the investment performance of the Funds or accrue interest in the
Guaranteed Interest Account. Generally, the investment start date will be the
same as the Register Date if the full minimum initial premium is received at our
Administrative Office before the Register Date. Otherwise, the investment start
date will be the date the full minimum initial premium is received at our
Administrative Office. Thus, to the extent that your first premium is received
before the Register Date, there will be a period during which the initial
premium will not be experiencing investment performance. The investment start
date for policies with early Register Dates will be the date the full minimum
initial premium is received at our Administrative Office. Any subsequent premium
payment received after the investment start date will begin to experience
investment performance as of the date such payment is received at our
Administrative Office. Remember, the amount of your initial net premium
allocated to the Funds may be temporarily allocated to the Money Market Fund
prior to allocation in accordance with your instructions. See FLEXIBLE PREMIUMS
on page 9.
Age. Generally, when we refer to the age of the insured person, we mean his or
her age on the birthday nearest to the beginning of the particular policy year.
TAX EFFECTS
This discussion is based on our understanding of the effect of the current
Federal income tax laws as currently interpreted on IL Protector policies owned
by U.S. resident individuals. The tax effects on corporate taxpayers subject to
the Federal alternative minimum tax, non-U.S. residents or non-U.S. citizens,
may be different. This discussion is general in nature, and should not be
considered tax advice, for which you should consult your legal or tax adviser.
POLICY PROCEEDS. An IL Protector policy will be treated as "life insurance" for
Federal income tax purposes if it meets the definitional requirement of the
Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and as long as the portfolios of the Trust
satisfy the diversification requirements under the Code. We believe that IL
Protector will meet these requirements, and that under Federal income tax law:
o the death benefit received by the beneficiary under your IL Protector policy
will not be subject to Federal income tax; and
o as long as your policy remains in force, increases in the Policy Account
value as a result of interest or investment experience will not be subject
to Federal income tax unless and until there is a distribution from your
policy, such as a loan or a partial withdrawal.
SPECIAL TAX RULES MAY APPLY, HOWEVER, IF YOU TRANSFER YOUR OWNERSHIP OF THE
POLICY. CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISER BEFORE ANY TRANSFER OF YOUR POLICY.
The Federal income tax consequences of a distribution from your policy will
depend on whether your policy is determined to be a "modified endowment." The
character of any income recognized will be ordinary income as opposed to capital
gain.
A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT IS a life insurance policy which fails to meet a
"seven-pay" test. In general, a policy will fail the seven-pay test if the
cumulative amount of premiums paid under the policy at any time during the first
seven policy years exceeds a calculated premium level. The calculated seven-pay
premium level is based on a hypothetical policy issued on the same insured
person and for the same initial death benefit which, under specified conditions
(which include the absence of expense, administrative and surrender charges),
would be fully paid for after seven level annual payments. Your policy will be
treated as a modified endowment unless the cumulative premiums paid under your
policy, at all times during the first seven policy years, are less than or equal
to the cumulative seven-pay premiums which would have been paid under the
hypothetical policy on or before such times.
Whenever there is a "material change" under a policy, it will generally be
treated as a new contract for purposes of determining whether the policy is a
modified endowment, and subjected to a new seven-pay period and a new seven-pay
limit. The new seven-pay limit would be determined taking into account, under a
downward adjustment formula, the Policy Account value of the policy at the time
of such change. A materially changed policy would be considered a modified
endowment if it failed to satisfy the new seven-pay limit. A material change
would occur if there was a substitution of the insured person, and could also
occur as a result of a change in death benefit option, the selection of
additional benefits, an increase in Face Amount and certain other changes.
If the benefits are reduced during the first seven policy years after entering
into the policy (or within seven years after a material change), for example, by
requesting a decrease in Face Amount or in some cases, by making a partial
withdrawal or terminating additional benefits under a rider, the calculated
seven-pay premium level will be redetermined based on the reduced level of
benefits and applied retroactively for purposes of the seven-pay test. If the
premiums previously paid are greater than the recalculated seven-pay premium
level limit, the policy will become a modified endowment. Generally, a life
insurance policy which is received in exchange for a modified endowment will
also be considered a modified endowment.
Changes made to a life insurance policy, for example, a decrease in benefits or
the termination of or restoration of a terminated policy, may have other effects
on your policy, including impacting the maximum amount of premiums that can be
paid under the policy, as well as the maximum amount of Policy Account value
that may be maintained under the policy. In some cases, this may cause us to
take action in order to assure your policy continues to qualify as life
insurance, including distribution of amounts that may be includable in income.
See POLICY CHANGES on page 19.

<PAGE>
IF YOUR IL PROTECTOR POLICY IS NOT A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT, as long as it remains
in force, a loan under your policy will be treated as indebtedness and no part
of the loan will be subject to current Federal income tax. Interest on the loan
will generally not be tax deductible. After the first 15 policy years, the
proceeds from a partial withdrawal will not be subject to Federal income tax
except to the extent such proceeds exceed your "Basis" in your policy. Your
Basis in your policy generally will equal the premiums you have paid less any
amounts previously recovered through tax-free policy distributions. During the
first fifteen policy years, the proceeds from a partial withdrawal could be
subject to Federal income tax to the extent your Policy Account value exceeds
your Basis in your policy. The portion subject to tax will depend upon the ratio
of your death benefit to the Policy Account value (or in some cases, the
premiums paid) under your policy and the age of the insured person at the time
of the withdrawal. In addition, if at any time your policy is surrendered, the
excess, if any, of your Cash Surrender Value (which includes the amount of
policy loan and accrued loan interest) over your Basis will be subject to
Federal income tax. IN ADDITION, IF A POLICY TERMINATES WHILE THERE IS A POLICY
LOAN, THE CANCELLATION OF SUCH LOAN AND ACCRUED LOAN INTEREST WILL BE TREATED AS
A DISTRIBUTION AND COULD BE SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER THE ABOVE RULES. On the Final
Policy Date, the excess of the amount of any benefit paid, not taking into
account any reduction for any loan and accrued loan interest, over your Basis in
the policy, will be subject to Federal income tax.
IF YOUR POLICY IS A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT, any distribution from your policy will
be taxed on an "income-first" basis. Distributions for this purpose include a
loan (including any increase in the loan amount to pay interest on an existing
loan or an assignment or a pledge to secure a loan) or partial withdrawal. Any
such distributions will be considered taxable income to you to the extent your
Policy Account value exceeds your Basis in the policy. For modified endowments,
your Basis would be increased by the amount of any prior loan under your policy
that was considered taxable income to you. For purposes of determining the
taxable portion of any distribution, all modified endowments issued by the same
insurer or an affiliate to the same policyowner (excluding certain qualified
plans) during any calendar year are to be aggregated. The Secretary of the
Treasury has authority to prescribe additional rules to prevent avoidance of
"income-first" taxation on distributions from modified endowments.
A 10% penalty tax will apply to the taxable portion of a distribution from a
modified endowment. The penalty tax will not, however, apply to distributions
(i) to taxpayers 59 1/2 years of age or older, (ii) in the case of a disability
(as defined in the Code) or (iii) received as part of a series of substantially
equal periodic annuity payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the
taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his
beneficiary. If your policy is surrendered, the excess, if any, of your Cash
Surrender Value over your Basis will be subject to Federal income tax and,
unless one of the above exceptions applies, the 10% penalty tax. If your policy
terminates while there is a policy loan, the cancellation of such loan and
accrued loan interest will be treated as a distribution to the extent not
previously treated as such and could be subject to tax, including the penalty
tax, as described under the above rules. In addition, upon the Final Policy Date
the excess of the amount of any benefit paid, not taking into account any
reduction for any loan and accrued loan interest, over your Basis in the policy,
will be subject to Federal income tax and, unless an exception applies, a 10%
penalty tax.
If your policy becomes a modified endowment, distributions that occur during the
policy year it becomes a modified endowment and any subsequent policy year will
be taxed as described in the two preceding paragraphs. In addition distributions
from a policy within two years before it becomes a modified endowment will be
subject to tax in this manner. THIS MEANS THAT A DISTRIBUTION MADE FROM A POLICY
THAT IS NOT A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT COULD LATER BECOME TAXABLE AS A DISTRIBUTION
FROM A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT. The Secretary of the Treasury has been authorized to
prescribe rules which would treat similarly other distributions made in
anticipation of a policy becoming a modified endowment.
POLICY TERMINATIONS. A policy which has terminated without value may have the
tax consequences described above even though you may be able to reinstate your
policy. For tax purposes, some reinstatements may be treated as the purchase of
a new insurance contract.
DIVERSIFICATION. Under Section 817(h) of the Code, the Secretary of the Treasury
has the authority to set standards for diversification of the investments
underlying variable life insurance policies. The Treasury Department has issued
final regulations regarding the diversification requirements. Failure by us to
meet these requirements would disqualify your policy as a variable life
insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Code. If this were to occur, you
would be subject to Federal income tax on the income under the policy for the
period of the disqualification and subsequent periods. The Separate Account,
through the Trust, intends to comply with these requirements.
In connection with the issuance of the then temporary diversification
regulations, the Treasury Department stated that it anticipated the issuance of
regulations or rulings prescribing the circumstances in which the ability of a
policyowner to direct his investment to particular funds of a separate account
may cause the policyowner, rather than the insurance company, to be treated as
the owner of the assets in the account. If you were considered the owner of the
assets of the Separate Account, income and gains from the account would be
included in your gross income for Federal income tax purposes. Under current law
we believe that Equitable Variable, and not the owner of the policy, would be
considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.
POLICY CHANGES. For you and your beneficiary to receive the tax treatment
discussed above, your policy must initially qualify and continue to qualify as
life insurance under Sections 7702 and 817(h) of the Code. We have reserved in
the policy the right to decline to accept all or part of any premium payments,
decline to change death benefit options, decline Face Amount changes, or decline
to make partial withdrawals that based upon our interpretation of current tax
rules would cause your policy to fail to qualify. We may also make changes in
the policy or its riders or require additional premium payments or make
distributions from the policy to the extent we deem necessary to qualify your
policy as life insurance for tax purposes. Any such change will apply uniformly
to all policies that are affected. You will be given written notice of such
changes.
19
<PAGE>
TAX CHANGES. The United States Congress has in the past considered, is currently
considering and may in the future consider legislation that, if enacted, could
change the tax treatment of life insurance policies. In addition, the Treasury
Department may amend existing regulations, issue regulations on the
qualification of life insurance and modified endowment contracts, or adopt new
interpretations of existing laws. State tax laws or, if you are not a United
States resident, foreign tax laws, may also affect the tax consequences to you,
the insured person or your beneficiary. These laws may change from time to time
without notice and, as a result, the tax consequences described above may be
altered. There is no way of predicting whether, when or in what form any such
change would be adopted. Any such change could have retroactive effect. We
suggest you consult your legal or tax adviser.
ESTATE AND GENERATION SKIPPING TAXES. If the insured person is the policyowner,
the death benefit under IL Protector will generally be includable in the
policyowner's estate for purposes of Federal estate tax. If the policyowner is
not the insured person, under certain conditions only the Cash Surrender Value
of the policy would be so includable. Federal estate tax is integrated with
Federal gift tax under a unified rate schedule. In general, estates less than
$600,000 will not incur a Federal estate tax liability. In addition, an
unlimited marital deduction may be available for Federal estate tax purposes.
As a general rule, if a "transfer" is made to a person two or more generations
younger than the policyowner, a generation skipping tax may be payable at rates
similar to the maximum estate tax rate in effect at the time. The generation
skipping tax provisions generally apply to "transfers" which would be subject to
the gift and estate tax rules. Individuals are generally allowed an aggregate
generation skipping tax exemption of $1 million. Because these rules are
complex, you should consult with your tax adviser for specific information,
especially where benefits are passing to younger generations.
The particular situation of each policyowner or beneficiary will determine how
ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of Federal
estate and generation skipping taxes as well as state and local estate,
inheritance and other taxes.
PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS. If IL Protector policies are purchased by a
fund which forms part of a pension or profit-sharing plan qualified under
Sections 401(a) or 403 of the Code for the benefit of participants covered under
the plan, the Federal income tax treatment of such policies will be somewhat
different from that described above.
If purchased as part of a pension or profit-sharing plan, the current cost of
insurance for the net amount at risk is treated as a "current fringe benefit"
and is required to be included annually in the plan participant's gross income.
This cost (generally referred to as the "P.S. 58" cost) is reported to the
participant annually. If the plan participant dies while covered by the plan and
the policy proceeds are paid to the participant's beneficiary, then the excess
of the death benefit over the Policy Account value will not be subject to
Federal income tax. However, the Policy Account value will generally be taxable
to the extent it exceeds the sum of $5,000 plus the participant's cost basis in
the policy. The participant's cost basis will generally include the costs of
insurance previously reported as income to the participant. Special rules may
apply if the participant had borrowed from his Policy Account or was an
owner-employee under the plan.
There are limits on the amounts of life insurance that may be purchased on
behalf of a participant in a pension or profit-sharing plan. Complex rules, in
addition to those discussed above, apply whenever life insurance is purchased by
a tax qualified plan. You should consult your legal adviser.
OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PROGRAMS. Complex rules may apply when a policy is held
by an employer or a trust, or acquired by an employee, in connection with the
provision of employee benefits. These policyowners also must consider whether
the policy was applied for by or issued to a person having an insurable interest
under applicable state law, as the lack of insurable interest may, among other
things, affect the qualification of the policy as life insurance for Federal
income tax purposes and the right of the beneficiary to death benefits.
Employers and employer-created trusts may be subject to reporting, disclosure
and fiduciary obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA). You should consult your legal adviser.
OUR TAXES. Under the life insurance company tax provisions of the Code, variable
life insurance is treated in a manner consistent with fixed life insurance. The
operations of the Separate Account are reported in our Federal income tax return
but we currently pay no income tax on investment income and capital gains
reflected in variable life insurance policy reserves. Therefore, no charge is
currently being made to any Fund for taxes. We reserve the right to make a
charge in the future for taxes incurred, for example, a charge to the Separate
Account for income taxes incurred by us that are allocable to the policy.
We may have to pay state, local or other taxes in addition to applicable taxes
based on premiums. At present, these taxes are not substantial. If they
increase, charges may be made for such taxes when they are attributable to the
Separate Account or allocable to the policy.
WHEN WE WITHHOLD FOR TAXES. Generally, unless you provide us with a written
election to the contrary before we make the distribution, we are required to
withhold income tax from any portion of the money you receive if the withdrawal
of money from your Policy Account or the surrender or the maturity of your
policy is a taxable transaction. If you do not wish us to withhold tax from the
payment, or if enough is not withheld, you may have to pay later. You may also
have to pay penalties under the tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax
payments are insufficient. In some cases, where generation skipping taxes may
apply, we may also be required to withhold for such taxes unless we are provided
satisfactory written notification that no such taxes are due.

PART 3: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
YOUR VOTING PRIVILEGES
TRUST VOTING PRIVILEGES. As explained in Part 1, we invest the assets in the
Funds in shares of the corresponding Trust portfolios. Equitable Variable is the
legal owner of the shares and will attend, and has the right to vote at, any
meeting of the Trust's shareholders. Among other things, we may vote on any
matters described in the Trust's prospectus or requiring a vote by shareholders
under the 1940 Act.
Even though we own the shares, to the extent required by the 1940 Act, you will
have the opportunity to tell us how to vote the number of shares that can be
attributed to your policy. We will vote those shares at meetings of Trust
shareholders according to your instructions. If we do not receive instructions
in time from all policyowners, we will vote shares in a portfolio for which no
instructions have been received in the same proportion as we vote shares for
which we have received instructions in that portfolio. We will vote any Trust
shares that we are entitled to vote directly due to amounts we have accumulated
in the Funds in the same proportions that all policyowners vote, including those
who participate in other separate accounts. If the Federal securities laws or
regulations or interpretations of them change so that we are permitted to vote
shares of the Trust in our own right or to restrict policyowner voting, we may
do so.
HOW WE DETERMINE YOUR VOTING SHARES. You may participate in voting only on
matters concerning the Trust portfolios corresponding to the Funds to which your
Policy Account is allocated. The number of Trust shares in each Fund that are
attributable to your policy is determined by dividing the amount in your Policy
Account allocated to that Fund by the net asset value of one share of the
corresponding Trust portfolio as of the record date set by the Trust's Board for
the Trust's shareholders meeting. The record date for this purpose must be at
least 10 and no more than 90 days before the meeting of the Trust. Fractional
shares are counted.
If you are entitled to give us voting instructions, we will send you proxy
material and a form for providing voting instructions. In certain cases, we may
disregard instructions relating to changes in the Trust's adviser or the
investment policies of its portfolios. We will advise you if we do and detail
the reasons in the next semiannual report to policyowners.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT VOTING RIGHTS. Under the 1940 Act, certain actions (such as
some of those described under OUR RIGHT TO CHANGE HOW WE OPERATE, below) may
require policyowner approval. In that case, you will be entitled to one vote for
every $100 of value you have in the Funds. We will cast votes attributable to
amounts we have in the Funds in the same proportions as votes cast by
policyowners.
OUR RIGHT TO CHANGE HOW WE OPERATE
In addition to changing or adding investment companies, we have the right to
modify how we or the Separate Account operate. We intend to comply with
applicable law in making any changes and, if necessary, we will seek policyowner
approval. We have the right to:
o add Funds to, or remove Funds from, the Separate Account, combine two or
more Funds within the Separate Account, or withdraw assets relating to IL
Protector from one Fund and put them into another;
o register or end the registration of the Separate Account under the 1940 Act;
o operate the Separate Account under the direction of a committee or discharge
such a committee at any time (the committee may be composed entirely of
persons who are "interested persons" of Equitable Variable under the 1940
Act);
o restrict or eliminate any voting rights of policyowners or other people who
have voting rights that affect the Separate Account;
o operate the Separate Account or one or more of the Funds in any other form
the law allows, including a form that allows us to make direct investments.
Our Separate Account may be charged an advisory fee if its investments are
made directly rather than through an investment company. We may make any
legal investments we wish. In choosing these investments, we will rely on
our own or outside counsel for advice. In addition, we may disapprove any
change in investment advisers or in investment policy unless a law or
regulation provides differently.
If any changes are made that result in a material change in the underlying
investments of a Fund, you will be notified as required by law. We may, for
example, cause the Fund to invest in a mutual fund other than, or in addition
to, the Trust. If you then wish to transfer the amount you have in that Fund to
another Fund of the Separate Account or to the Guaranteed Interest Account, you
may do so, without charge, by contacting our Administrative Office. At the same
time, you may also change how your net premiums and deductions are allocated.
OUR REPORTS TO POLICYOWNERS
Shortly after the end of each policy year you will receive a report that
includes information about your policy's current death benefit, Policy Account
value, Cash Surrender Value and policy loan. Notices will be sent to you to
confirm premium payments (except premiums paid through an automated
arrangement), transfers and certain other policy transactions.
LIMITS ON OUR RIGHT TO CHALLENGE THE POLICY
We can challenge the validity of your insurance policy based on material
misstatements in your application and any application for change. However, there
are some limits on how and when we can challenge the policy.
o We cannot challenge the policy after it has been in effect, during the
insured person's lifetime, for two years from the date the policy was issued
or restored after termination. (Some states may require that we measure this
time in some other way.)
o We cannot challenge any policy change that requires evidence of insurability
(such as an increase in Face Amount or a substitution of insured person)
after the change has been in effect for two years during the insured
person's lifetime.
21
<PAGE>
o We cannot challenge an additional benefit rider that provides benefits in
the event that the insured person becomes totally disabled, after two years
from the later of the Issue Date or the date as of which the additional
benefit rider became effective. We can require proof of continuing
disability while such a rider is in effect as specified in the rider.
If the insured person dies within the time that we may challenge the validity of
the policy, we may delay payment until we decide whether to challenge the
policy. If the insured person's age or sex is misstated on any application, the
death benefit and any additional benefits provided will be those which would be
purchased by the most recent deduction for the cost of insurance and the cost of
any additional benefits at the insured person's correct age and sex.
If the insured person commits suicide within two years after the date on which
the policy was issued, the death benefit will be limited to the total of all
premiums that have been paid to the time of death minus any outstanding policy
loan, accrued loan interest and any partial withdrawals of Net Cash Surrender
Value. If the insured person commits suicide within two years after the
effective date of an increase in Face Amount that you requested, we will pay the
death benefit based on the Face Amount which was in effect before the increase,
plus the monthly cost of insurance deductions for the increase (including the
transaction charge for the Face Amount increase). A new two-year suicide and
contestability period will begin on the date of substitution following a
substitution of insured. Some states require that we measure this time by some
other date.
YOUR PAYMENT OPTIONS
Policy benefits or other payments, such as the Net Cash Surrender Value, may be
paid immediately in one sum or you may choose another form of payment for all or
part of the money. Payments under these options are not affected by the
investment experience of any Fund. Instead, interest accrues pursuant to the
options chosen.
You will make a choice of payment option (or any later changes) and your choice
will take effect in the same way as it would if you were changing a beneficiary.
(See YOUR BENEFICIARY below.) If you do not arrange for a specific form of
payment before the insured person dies, the beneficiary will be paid through the
Equitable Access Account(TM). The Equitable Access Account is not available to
corporate or other non-natural beneficiaries. See WHEN WE PAY POLICY PROCEEDS
below. The beneficiary will then have a choice of payment options. However, if
you do make an arrangement with us for how the money will be paid, the
beneficiary cannot change the choice after the insured person dies. Different
payment options may result in different tax consequences.
The beneficiary or any other person who is entitled to receive payment may name
a successor to receive any amount that we would otherwise pay to that person's
estate if that person died. The person who is entitled to receive payment may
change the successor at any time.
We must approve any arrangements that involve more than one payment option, or a
payee who is not a natural person (for example, a corporation), or a payee who
is a fiduciary. Also, the details of all arrangements will be subject to our
rules at the time the arrangements are selected and take effect. This includes
rules on the minimum amount we will pay under an option, minimum amounts for
installment payments, withdrawal or commutation rights (your rights to receive
payments over time, for which we may offer a lump sum payment), the naming of
people who are entitled to receive payment and their successors, and the ways of
proving age and survival.
YOUR BENEFICIARY
You name your beneficiary when you apply for the policy. The beneficiary is
entitled to the insurance benefits of the policy. You may change the beneficiary
during the insured person's lifetime by writing to our Administrative Office. If
no beneficiary is living when the insured person dies, we will pay the death
benefit in equal shares to the insured person's surviving children. If there are
no surviving children, we will pay the death benefit to the insured person's
estate.
ASSIGNING YOUR POLICY
You may assign (transfer) your rights in the policy to someone else as
collateral for a loan or for some other reason, if we agree. A copy of the
assignment must be forwarded to our Administrative Office. We are not
responsible for any payment we make or any action taken before we receive notice
of the assignment or for the validity of the assignment. An absolute assignment
is a change of ownership. BECAUSE THERE MAY BE TAX CONSEQUENCES, INCLUDING THE
LOSS OF INCOME TAX-FREE TREATMENT FOR ANY DEATH BENEFIT PAYABLE TO THE
BENEFICIARY, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISER PRIOR TO MAKING AN ASSIGNMENT.
WHEN WE PAY POLICY PROCEEDS
We will pay any death benefits, maturity benefit, Net Cash Surrender Value or
loan proceeds within seven days after we receive the last required form or
request (and other documents that may be required for payment of death benefits)
at our Administrative Office. Death benefits are determined as of the date of
death of the insured person and will not be affected by subsequent changes in
the unit values of the Funds. Death benefits will generally be paid through the
Equitable Access Account, an interest bearing checking account. A beneficiary
will have immediate access to the proceeds by writing a check on the account. We
pay interest from the date of death to the date the Equitable Access Account is
closed. If an Equitable agent helps the beneficiary of a policy to prepare the
documents that are required for payment of the death benefit, we will send the
Equitable Access Account checkbook or check to the agent within seven days after
we receive the required documents. Our agents will take reasonable steps to
arrange for prompt delivery to the beneficiary.
We may, however, delay payment if we contest the policy. We may also delay
payment if we cannot determine the amount of the payment because the New York
Stock Exchange is closed, because trading in securities has been restricted by
the SEC, or because the SEC has declared that an emergency exists. In addition,
if necessary to protect our policyowners, we may delay payment where permitted
under applicable law.
22
<PAGE>
We may defer payment of any Net Cash Surrender Value or loan amount (except a
loan to pay a premium to us) from the Guaranteed Interest Account for up to six
months after we receive your request. We will pay interest of at least 3% a year
from the date we receive your request if we delay more than 30 days in paying
you such amounts from the Guaranteed Interest Account.
DIVIDENDS
No dividends are paid on the policy described in this prospectus.
REGULATION
We are regulated and supervised by the New York State Insurance Department. In
addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations in every
jurisdiction where we sell policies.
The IL Protector policy (Plan No. 96-400) has been filed with and approved by
insurance officials in 41 jurisdictions. We submit annual reports on our
operations and finances to insurance officials in all the jurisdictions where we
sell policies. The officials are responsible for reviewing our reports to be
sure that we are financially sound.
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Equitable Variable may vary the charges and other terms of IL Protector where
special circumstances result in sales or administrative expenses or mortality
risks that are different than those normally associated with IL Protector
policies. These variations will be made only in accordance with uniform rules
that we establish.
DISTRIBUTION
EQ Financial Consultants, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equitable, is the
principal underwriter of the Trust under a Distribution Agreement. EQ Financial
Consultants is also the distributor of our variable life insurance policies and
Equitable's variable annuity contracts under a Distribution and Servicing
Agreement. EQ Financial Consultants' principal business address is 1755
Broadway, New York, NY 10019. EQ Financial Consultants is registered with the
SEC as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange
Act) and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. EQ
Financial Consultants is paid a fee for its services as distributor of our
policies. For 1994 and 1995, Equitable and Equitable Variable paid EQ Financial
Consultants a fee of $216,920 and $325,380, respectively, for its services under
the Distribution and Servicing Agreement.
We sell our policies through agents who are licensed by state insurance
officials to sell our variable life policies. These agents are also registered
representatives of EQ Financial Consultants. The agent who sells you this policy
receives sales commissions from Equitable. We reimburse Equitable from our own
resources, including the Premium Sales Charge deducted from your premium and any
Surrender Charge we might collect. Generally, during the first policy year, the
agent will receive an amount equal to a maximum of 50% of the premiums paid up
to a certain amount and 3% of the premiums paid in excess of that amount. For
policy years two through ten, the agent receives an amount up to a maximum of 6%
of the premiums paid up to a certain amount and 3% of the premiums paid in
excess of that amount; and, for years eleven and later, the agent receives an
amount up to 3% of the premiums paid. Following a Face Amount increase,
commissions on a portion of the premium will be calculated based on the same
rates described above. Commissions paid to agents based upon refunded premiums
may be recovered. Agents with limited years of service may be paid differently.
We also sell our policies through independent brokers who are licensed by state
insurance officials to sell our variable life policies. They will also be
registered representatives either of EQ Financial Consultants or of another
company registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act. The
commissions for independent brokers will be no more than those for agents and
the same policy for recovery of commissions applies. Commissions will be paid
through the registered broker-dealer.
Equitable performs certain sales and administrative duties for us pursuant to a
written agreement which is automatically renewed each year, unless either party
terminates. Under this agreement, we pay Equitable for salary costs and other
services and an amount for indirect costs incurred through our use of Equitable
personnel and facilities. We also reimburse Equitable for sales expenses related
to business other than variable life insurance policies. The amounts paid and
accrued to Equitable by us under the sales and services agreements totalled
approximately $377.2 million in 1995, $380.5 million in 1994 and $355.7 million
in 1993.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not involved in any material legal proceedings.
ACCOUNTING AND ACTUARIAL EXPERTS
The financial statements of Separate Account FP and Equitable Variable included
in this prospectus have been audited by Price Waterhouse LLP, as stated in their
reports. The financial statements of Separate Account FP and Equitable Variable
have been so included in reliance on the reports of Price Waterhouse LLP,
independent accountants, given on the authority of such firm as experts in
accounting and auditing. The financial statements of Separate Account FP for the
period ended March 31, 1996 are unaudited.
The financial statements of Equitable Variable contained in this prospectus
should be considered only as bearing upon the ability of Equitable Variable to
meet its obligations under the IL Protector policies. They should not be
considered as bearing upon the investment experience of the funds of the
Separate Account. The most current financial statements of Equitable Variable
are those as of the end of the most recent fiscal year. Equitable Variable does
not prepare financial statements for publication more often than annually and
believes that any incremental benefit to investors that may result from
preparing and delivering more current financial statements,
23
<PAGE>
though unaudited, would not justify the additional cost that would be incurred.
In addition, Equitable Variable represents that there have been no material
adverse changes in its financial condition or operations between the end of the
most recent fiscal year and the date of this prospectus.
Actuarial matters in this prospectus have been examined by Barbara Fraser,
F.S.A., M.A.A.A., who is a Vice President and Actuary of Equitable. Her opinion
on actuarial matters is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement we
filed with the SEC.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We have filed a Registration Statement relating to the Separate Account and the
variable life insurance policy described in this prospectus with the SEC. The
Registration Statement, which is required by the Securities Act of 1933,
includes additional information that is not required in this prospectus under
the rules and regulations of the SEC. If you would like the additional
information, you may obtain it from the SEC's main office in Washington, D.C.
You will have to pay a fee for the material.

PART 4: ILLUSTRATIONS OF POLICY BENEFITS
To help clarify how the key financial elements of the policy work, a series of
tables has been prepared. The tables show how death benefits, Policy Account and
Cash Surrender Values ("policy benefits") under a hypothetical IL Protector
policy could vary over time if the Funds of our Separate Account had CONSTANT
hypothetical gross annual investment returns of 0%, 6% or 12% over the years
covered by each table. Actual investment results may be more or less than those
shown. The tables are for a 40 year old preferred risk male non-tobacco user.
Planned premium payments of $2,000 for an initial Face Amount of $150,000 are
assumed to be paid at the beginning of each policy year. The illustration
assumes no policy loan has been taken. The difference between the Policy Account
and the Cash Surrender Values in the first fifteen years is the Surrender
Charge. See SURRENDER CHARGE on page 16.
The tables illustrate both current and guaranteed charges. The current charges
include reductions in cost of insurance charges beginning in the tenth policy
year, which are not guaranteed. The tables also assume .51% per annum for
investment management (the average of the effective annual advisory fees
applicable to each Trust portfolio during 1995), .04% per annum for direct Trust
expenses, and daily charges against Separate Account Funds of .80% per annum for
mortality and expense risks. The assumption for direct Trust expenses equals the
weighted average of actual Trust expenses incurred by the portfolios of the
Trust for the year-ended December 31, 1995 as disclosed in the Trust's
prospectus. The effect of these adjustments is that on a 0% gross rate of return
the net rate of return would be -1.35%, on 6% it would be 4.57%, and on 12% it
would be 10.49%. Remember, however, that investment management fees and direct
Trust expenses vary by portfolio. See THE TRUST'S INVESTMENT ADVISER on page 6.
The tables also assume a charge for taxes of 2% of premiums. There are tables
for both death benefit Option A and death benefit Option B.
The second column of each table shows the effect of an amount equal to the
premiums invested to earn interest, after taxes, of 5% compounded annually.
These tables show that if a policy is returned in its very early years for
payment of its Cash Surrender Value, that Cash Surrender Value will be low in
comparison to the amount of the premiums accumulated with interest. Thus, the
cost of owning your policy for a relatively short time will be high.
The internal rate of return on Cash Surrender Value is equivalent to an interest
rate (after taxes) at which an amount equal to the illustrated premiums could
have been invested outside the Policy to arrive at the Cash Surrender Value of
the Policy. The internal rate of return on the death benefit is equivalent to an
interest rate (after taxes) at which an amount equal to the illustrated premiums
could have been invested outside the Policy to arrive at the death benefit of
the Policy. The internal rate of return is compounded annually, and the premiums
are assumed to be paid at the beginning of each policy year.
INDIVIDUAL ILLUSTRATIONS. On request, we will furnish you with a comparable
illustration based on your policy's factors. Upon request after issuance, we
will also provide a comparable illustration reflecting your actual Policy
Account value. If you request illustrations more than once in any policy year,
we may charge for the illustration.

EQUITABLE VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT FP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1996
1. General
Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company (Equitable Variable Life), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the
United States (Equitable Life), established Separate Account FP (the
Account) as a unit investment trust registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Account
consists of thirteen investment divisions: the Money Market Division, the
Intermediate Government Securities Division, the High Yield Division, the
Balanced Division, the Common Stock Division, the Global Division, the
Aggressive Stock Division, the Conservative Investors Division, the Growth
Investors Division, the Growth & Income Division, the Quality Bond Division,
the Equity Index Division and the International Division. The assets in each
Division are invested in shares of a designated portfolio (Portfolio) of a
mutual fund, The Hudson River Trust (the Trust). Each Portfolio has separate
investment objectives.
The Account supports the operations of Incentive Life,(TM) flexible premium
variable life insurance policies, Incentive Life 2000,(TM) flexible premium
variable life insurance policies, Champion 2000,(TM) modified premium
variable whole life insurance policies, Survivorship 2000,(TM) flexible
premium joint survivorship variable life insurance policies, Incentive Life
Plus,(TM) flexible premium variable life insurance policies and SP-Flex,(TM)
variable life insurance policies with additional premium option,
collectively, the Policies, and the Incentive Life 2000, Champion 2000 and
Survivorship 2000 policies are referred to as the Series 2000 Policies.
Incentive Life Plus policies offered with a prospectus dated on or after
September 15, 1995, are referred to as Incentive Life Plus Second Series.
Incentive Life Plus policies issued with a prior prospectus are referred to
as Incentive Life Plus Original Series. All Policies are issued by Equitable
Variable. The assets of the Account are the property of Equitable Variable.
However, the portion of the Account's assets attributable to the Policies
will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business
Equitable Variable may conduct.
Policyowners may allocate amounts in their individual accounts to the
Divisions of the Account and/or (except for SP-Flex policies) to the
guaranteed interest division of Equitable Variable Life's General Account.
Net transfers to (from) the guaranteed interest division of the General
Account and other Separate Accounts of ($2,168,974) and $3,164,689 for the
three months ended 1996 and 1995, respectively, are included in Net
Transfers Among Divisions. The net assets of any Division of the Account may
not be less than the aggregate of the policyowners' accounts allocated to
that Division. Additional assets are set aside in Equitable Variable Life's
General Account to provide for (1) the unearned portion of the monthly
charges for mortality costs, and (2) other policy benefits, as required
under the state insurance law.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Investments are made in shares of the Trust and are valued at the net asset
values per share of the respective Portfolios. The net asset value is
determined by the Trust using the market or fair value of the underlying
assets of the Portfolio.
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses include gains and losses on redemptions of the Trust's shares
(determined on the identified cost basis) and Trust distributions
representing the net realized gains on Trust investment transactions.
The operations of the Account are included in the consolidated Federal
income tax return of Equitable Life. Under the provisions of the Policies,
Equitable Variable Life has the right to charge the Account for Federal
income tax attributable to the Account. No charge is currently being made
against the Account for such tax since, under current tax law, Equitable
Variable Life pays no tax on investment income and capital gains reflected
in variable life insurance policy reserves. However, Equitable Variable Life
retains the right to charge for any Federal income tax incurred which is
attributable to the Account if the law is changed. Charges for state and
local taxes, if any, attributable to the Account also may be made.
Dividends are recorded as income at the end of each quarter on the
ex-dividend date. Capital gains are distributed by the Trust at the end of
each year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- (CONTINUED)
MARCH 31, 1996
3. Asset Charges
Under the Policies, Equitable Variable Life assumes mortality and expense
risks and, to cover these risks, deducts charges from the assets of the
Account currently at annual rates of 0.60% of the net assets attributable to
Incentive Life, Incentive Life 2000, Incentive Life Plus Second Series and
Champion 2000 policyowners, 0.90% of net assets attributable to Survivorship
2000 policyowners, and 0.85% for SP-Flex policyowners. Incentive Life Plus
Original Series deducts this charge from the Policy Account. Under SP-Flex,
Equitable Variable Life also deducts charges from the assets of the Account
for mortality and administrative costs of 0.60% and 0.35%, respectively, of
net assets attributable to SP-Flex policies.
Under Incentive Life, Incentive Life Plus and the Series 2000 Policies,
mortality and administrative costs are charged in a different manner than
SP-Flex policies (see Notes 4 and 5).
Before amounts are allocated to the Account for Incentive Life, Incentive
Life Plus and the Series 2000 Policies, Equitable Variable Life deducts a
charge for taxes and either an initial policy fee (Incentive Life) or a
premium sales charge (Incentive Life Plus and Series 2000 Policies) from
premiums. Under SP-Flex, the entire initial premium is allocated to the
Account. Before any additional premiums under SP-Flex are allocated to the
Account, an administrative charge is deducted.
The amounts attributable to Incentive Life, Incentive Life Plus and the
Series 2000 policyowners' accounts are charged monthly by Equitable Variable
Life for mortality and administrative costs. These charges are withdrawn
from the Account along with amounts for additional benefits. Under the
Policies, amounts for certain policy-related transactions (such as policy
loans and surrenders) are transferred out of the Separate Account.
4. Amounts Retained by Equitable Variable Life in Separate Account FP
The amount retained by Equitable Variable Life in the Account arises
principally from (1) contributions from Equitable Variable Life, and (2)
that portion, determined ratably, of the Account's investment results
applicable to those assets in the Account in excess of the net assets for
the Policies. Amounts retained by Equitable Variable Life are not subject to
charges for mortality and expense risks or mortality and administrative
costs.
Amounts retained by Equitable Variable Life in the Account may be
transferred at any time by Equitable Variable Life to its General Account.
5. Distribution and Servicing Agreements
Equitable Variable Life has entered into a Distribution and Servicing
Agreement with Equitable Life and Equico Securities Inc. (Equico), whereby
registered representatives of Equico, authorized as variable life insurance
agents under applicable state insurance laws, sell the Policies. The
registered representatives are compensated on a commission basis by
Equitable Life.
Equitable Variable Life also has entered into an agreement with Equitable
Life under which Equitable Life performs the administrative services related
to the Policies, including underwriting and issuance, billings and
collections, and policyowner services. There is no charge to the Account
related to this agreement.
6. Investment Returns
The Separate Account rates of return attributable to Incentive Life,
Incentive Life 2000, Incentive Life Plus Second Series and Champion 2000
policyowners are different than those attributable to Survivorship 2000,
Incentive Life Plus Original Series and to SP-Flex policyowners because
asset charges are deducted at different rates under each policy (see Note
3).
The tables on this page and the following pages show the gross and net
investment returns with respect to the Divisions for the periods shown. The
net return for each Division is based upon net assets for a policy whose
policy commences with the beginning date of such period and is not based on
the average net assets in the Division during such period. Gross return is
equal to the total return earned by the underlying Trust investment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of
Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company
and Policyowners of Separate Account FP
of Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Money Market Division,
Intermediate Government Securities Division, Quality Bond Division, High Yield
Division, Growth and Income Division, Equity Index Division, Common Stock
Division, Global Division, International Division, Aggressive Stock Division,
Conservative Investors Division, Balanced Division and Growth Investors
Division, separate investment divisions of Equitable Variable Life Insurance
Company ("Equitable Variable Life") Separate Account FP at December 31, 1995 and
the results of each of their operations and changes in each of their net assets
for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of
Equitable Variable Life's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of shares in The Hudson River Trust at
December 31, 1995 with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

EQUITABLE VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT FP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. General
Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company (Equitable Variable Life), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the
United States (Equitable Life), established Separate Account FP (the
Account) as a unit investment trust registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Account
consists of thirteen investment divisions: the Money Market Division, the
Intermediate Government Securities Division, the High Yield Division, the
Balanced Division, the Common Stock Division, the Global Division, the
Aggressive Stock Division, the Conservative Investors Division, the Growth
Investors Division, the Growth & Income Division, the Quality Bond Division,
the Equity Index Division and the International Division. The assets in each
Division are invested in shares of a designated portfolio (Portfolio) of a
mutual fund, The Hudson River Trust (the Trust). Each Portfolio has separate
investment objectives.
The Account supports the operations of Incentive Life,(TM) flexible premium
variable life insurance policies, Incentive Life 2000,(TM) flexible premium
variable life insurance policies, Champion 2000,(TM) modified premium
variable whole life insurance policies, Survivorship 2000,(TM) flexible
premium joint survivorship variable life insurance policies, Incentive Life
Plus,(TM) flexible premium variable life insurance policies and SP-Flex,(TM)
variable life insurance policies with additional premium option,
collectively, the Policies, and the Incentive Life 2000, Champion 2000 and
Survivorship 2000 policies are referred to as the Series 2000 Policies.
Incentive Life policies offered with the prospectus dated September 15,
1995, are referred to as Incentive Life Plus Second Series. Incentive Life
Plus policies issued with a prior prospectus are referred to as Incentive
Life Plus Original Series. All Policies are issued by Equitable Variable.
The assets of the Account are the property of Equitable Variable. However,
the portion of the Account's assets attributable to the Policies will not be
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Equitable
Variable may conduct.
Policyowners may allocate amounts in their individual accounts to the
Divisions of the Account and/or (except for SP-Flex policies) to the
guaranteed interest division of Equitable Variable Life's General Account.
Net transfers to the guaranteed interest division of the General Account and
other Separate Accounts of $6,569,372, $35,120,632 and $125,668,098 for the
years ended 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, are included in Net Transfers
Among Divisions. The net assets of any Division of the Account may not be
less than the aggregate of the policyowners' accounts allocated to that
Division. Additional assets are set aside in Equitable Variable Life's
General Account to provide for (1) the unearned portion of the monthly
charges for mortality costs, and (2) other policy benefits, as required
under the state insurance law.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Investments are made in shares of the Trust and are valued at the net asset
values per share of the respective Portfolios. The net asset value is
determined by the Trust using the market or fair value of the underlying
assets of the Portfolio.
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses include gains and losses on redemptions of the Trust's shares
(determined on the identified cost basis) and Trust distributions
representing the net realized gains on Trust investment transactions.
The operations of the Account are included in the consolidated Federal
income tax return of Equitable Life. Under the provisions of the Policies,
Equitable Variable Life has the right to charge the Account for Federal
income tax attributable to the Account. No charge is currently being made
against the Account for such tax since, under current tax law, Equitable
Variable Life pays no tax on investment income and capital gains reflected
in variable life insurance policy reserves. However, Equitable Variable Life
retains the right to charge for any Federal income tax incurred which is
attributable to the Account if the law is changed. Charges for state and
local taxes, if any, attributable to the Account also may be made.
Dividends are recorded as income at the end of each quarter on the
ex-dividend date. Capital gains are distributed by the Trust at the end of
each year.
3. Asset Charges
Under the Policies, Equitable Variable Life assumes mortality and expense
risks and, to cover these risks, deducts charges from the assets of the
Account currently at annual rates of 0.60% of the net assets attributable to
Incentive Life, Incentive Life 2000, Incentive Life Plus Second Series and
Champion 2000 policyowners, 0.90% of net assets attributable to Survivorship
2000 policyowners, and 0.85% for SP-Flex policyowners. Incentive Life Plus
Original Series deducts this charge from the Policy Account. Under SP-Flex,
Equitable Variable Life also deducts charges from the assets of the Account
for mortality and administrative costs of 0.60% and 0.35%, respectively, of
net assets attributable to SP-Flex policies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
Under Incentive Life, Incentive Life Plus and the Series 2000 Policies,
mortality and administrative costs are charged in a different manner than
SP-Flex policies (see Notes 4 and 5).
Before amounts are allocated to the Account for Incentive Life, Incentive
Life Plus and the Series 2000 Policies, Equitable Variable Life deducts a
charge for taxes and either an initial policy fee (Incentive Life) or a
premium sales charge (Incentive Life Plus and Series 2000 Policies) from
premiums. Under SP-Flex, the entire initial premium is allocated to the
Account. Before any additional premiums under SP-Flex are allocated to the
Account, an administrative charge is deducted.
The amounts attributable to Incentive Life, Incentive Life Plus and the
Series 2000 policyowners' accounts are charged monthly by Equitable Variable
Life for mortality and administrative costs. These charges are withdrawn
from the Account along with amounts for additional benefits. Under the
Policies, amounts for certain policy-related transactions (such as policy
loans and surrenders) are transferred out of the Separate Account.
4. Amounts Retained by Equitable Variable Life in Separate Account FP
The amount retained by Equitable Variable Life in the Account arises
principally from (1) contributions from Equitable Variable Life, and (2)
that portion, determined ratably, of the Account's investment results
applicable to those assets in the Account in excess of the net assets for
the Policies. Amounts retained by Equitable Variable Life are not subject to
charges for mortality and expense risks or mortality and administrative
costs.
Amounts retained by Equitable Variable Life in the Account may be
transferred at any time by Equitable Variable Life to its General Account.
The following table shows the surplus contributions (withdrawals) by
Equitable Variable Life by investment division:

5. Distribution and Servicing Agreements
Equitable Variable Life has entered into a Distribution and Servicing
Agreement with Equitable Life and Equico Securities Inc. (Equico), whereby
registered representatives of Equico, authorized as variable life insurance
agents under applicable state insurance laws, sell the Policies. The
registered representatives are compensated on a commission basis by
Equitable Life.
Equitable Variable Life also has entered into an agreement with Equitable
Life under which Equitable Life performs the administrative services related
to the Policies, including underwriting and issuance, billings and
collections, and policyowner services. There is no charge to the Account
related to this agreement.
6. Share Substitution
On February 22, 1994, Equitable Variable Life, the Account and the Trust
substituted shares of the Trust's Intermediate Government Securities
Portfolio for shares of the Trust's Short-Term World Income Portfolio. The
amount transferred to Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio was
$2,192,109. The statements of operations and statements of changes in net
assets for the Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio is combined with
the Short-Term World Income Portfolio for periods prior to the merger on
February 22, 1994. The Short-Term World Income Division is not available for
future investment.

7. Investment Returns
The Separate Account rates of return attributable to Incentive Life,
Incentive Life 2000, Incentive Life Plus Second Series and Champion 2000
policyowners are different than those attributable to Survivorship 2000,
Incentive Life Plus Original Series and to SP-Flex policyowners because
asset charges are deducted at different rates under each policy (see Note
3).
The tables on this page and the following pages show the gross and net
investment returns with respect to the Divisions for the periods shown. The
net return for each Division is based upon net assets for a policy whose
policy commences with the beginning date of such period and is not based on
the average net assets in the Division during such period. Gross return is
equal to the total return earned by the underlying Trust investment.

EQUITABLE VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company ("Equitable Variable Life") was
incorporated on September 11, 1972 as a wholly owned subsidiary of The
Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States ("Equitable Life").
Equitable Variable Life's operations consist principally of the sale of
interest-sensitive life insurance and annuity products.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Equitable Variable Life and its subsidiaries, (collectively "EVLICO").
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the amounts presented for prior
periods to conform these periods with the 1995 presentation.
Accounting Changes
In the first quarter of 1995, EVLICO adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan." This statement applies to all loans, including loans
restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of
terms. This statement addresses the accounting for impairment of a loan by
specifying how allowances for credit losses should be determined. Impaired
loans within the scope of this statement are measured based on the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. EVLICO provides for
impairment of loans through an allowance for possible losses. The adoption of
this statement did not have a material effect on the level of these
allowances or on EVLICO's consolidated statements of earnings and
shareholder's equity.
In the fourth quarter of 1994 (effective as of January 1, 1994), EVLICO
adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits,"
which required employers to recognize the obligation to provide
postemployment benefits. Implementation of this statement resulted in a
charge for the cumulative effect of accounting change of $11.4 million, net
of a Federal income tax benefit of $6.2 million.
At December 31, 1993, EVLICO adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which expanded the use of fair
value accounting for those securities that a company does not have positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity. Implementation of this statement
increased consolidated shareholder's equity by $7.2 million, net of deferred
policy acquisition costs and deferred Federal income tax. Beginning
coincident with issuance of SFAS No. 115 implementation guidance in November
1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") permitted companies a
one-time opportunity, through December 31, 1995, to reassess the
appropriateness of the classification of all securities held at that time. On
December 1, 1995, EVLICO transferred $1,806.7 million of securities
classified as held to maturity to the available for sale portfolio. As a
result, consolidated shareholder's equity increased by $17.9 million, net of
deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred Federal income tax.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. EVLICO will
implement this statement as of January 1, 1996. EVLICO currently provides
allowances for possible losses for assets under the scope of this statement.
Management has not yet determined the impact of this statement on these
assets.
Valuation of Investments
Fixed maturities which have been identified as available for sale are
reported at estimated fair value. At December 31, 1994, fixed maturities
which EVLICO had both the ability and the intent to hold to maturity, were
stated principally at amortized cost. The amortized cost of fixed maturities
is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other than temporary.
F-5
<PAGE>
Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of
unamortized discounts and valuation allowances. Effective with the adoption
of SFAS No. 114 on January 1, 1995, the valuation allowances are based on the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original
effective interest rate or the collateral value if the loan is collateral
dependent. However, if foreclosure is or becomes probable, the measurement
method used is collateral value. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 114, the
valuation allowances were based on losses expected by management to be
realized on transfers of mortgage loans to real estate (upon foreclosure or
in-substance foreclosure), on the disposition or settlement of mortgage loans
and on mortgage loans management believed may not be collectible in full. In
establishing valuation allowances, management previously considered, among
other things, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.
Real estate, including real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt, is
stated at depreciated cost less valuation allowances. At the date of
foreclosure (including in-substance foreclosure), real estate acquired in
satisfaction of debt is valued at estimated fair value. Valuation allowances
on real estate held for the production of income are computed using the
forecasted cash flows of the respective properties discounted at a rate equal
to EVLICO's cost of funds; valuation allowances on real estate available for
sale are computed using the lower of current estimated fair value, net of
disposition costs, or depreciated cost.
Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances.
Partnerships and joint venture interests in which EVLICO does not have
control and a majority economic interest are reported on the equity basis of
accounting and are included with either equity real estate or other equity
investments, as appropriate.
Common stocks are carried at estimated fair value and are included in other
equity investments.
Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair
value and are included with other invested assets.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks and
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less.
All securities are recorded in the consolidated financial statements on a
trade date basis.
Investment Results and Unrealized Investment Gains (Losses)
Realized investment gains and losses are determined by specific
identification and are presented as a component of revenue. Valuation
allowances are netted against the asset categories to which they apply and
changes in the valuation allowances are included in investment gains or
losses.
Unrealized investment gains and losses on fixed maturities available for sale
and equity securities held by EVLICO are accounted for as a separate
component of shareholder's equity, net of related deferred Federal income
taxes and deferred policy acquisition costs related to universal life and
investment-type products.
Recognition of Insurance Income and Related Expenses
Premiums from universal life and investment-type contracts are reported as
deposits to policyholders' account balances. Revenues from these contracts
consist of amounts assessed during the period against policyholders' account
balances for mortality charges, policy administration charges and surrender
charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expenses include
benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policyholders'
account balances.
Premiums from life and annuity policies with life contingencies generally are
recognized as income when due. Benefits and expenses are matched with such
income so as to result in the recognition of profits over the life of the
contracts. This match is accomplished by means of the provision for
liabilities for future policy benefits and the deferral and subsequent
amortization of policy acquisition costs.
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting,
agency and policy issue expenses, all of which vary with and are primarily
related to the production of new business, are deferred. Deferred policy
acquisition costs are subject to recoverability testing at the time of policy
issue and loss recognition testing at the end of each accounting period.
For universal life products and investment-type products, deferred policy
acquisition costs are amortized over the expected average life of the
contracts (periods ranging from 15 to 35 years and 5 to 17 years,
respectively) as a constant percentage of estimated gross profits arising
principally from investment results, mortality and expense margins and
surrender charges based on historical and anticipated future experience,
updated at the end of each accounting period. The effect on the amortization
of deferred policy acquisition costs of revisions to estimated gross profits
is reflected in earnings in the period such estimated gross profits are
revised. The effect on the deferred policy acquisition cost asset that would
result from realization of unrealized gains (losses) is recognized with an
offset to unrealized gains (losses) in consolidated shareholder's equity as
of the balance sheet date.
Amortization charged to income amounted to $199.0 million, $200.2 million and
$135.5 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
F-6
<PAGE>
Policyholders' Account Balances and Future Policy Benefits
EVLICO's insurance contracts primarily are universal life and investment-type
contracts. Policyholders' account balances are equal to the policy account
values. The policy account values represent an accumulation of gross premium
payments plus credited interest less expense and mortality charges and
withdrawals.
The future policy benefit liabilities for the remainder of EVLICO's insurance
contracts, consisting primarily of supplementary contracts with life
contingencies and various policy riders, are computed by various valuation
methods based on assumed interest rates and mortality and morbidity
assumptions reflecting EVLICO's experience and industry standards.
Federal Income Taxes
EVLICO is included in a consolidated Federal income tax return with Equitable
Life and its other eligible subsidiaries. In accordance with an agreement
between EVLICO and Equitable Life, the amount of current income taxes as
determined on a separate return basis will be paid to, or received from,
Equitable Life. Benefits for losses, which are paid to EVLICO to the extent
they are utilized by Equitable Life, may not have been received in the
absence of such agreement. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
recognized based on the difference between financial statement carrying
amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted
income tax rates and laws.
Separate Accounts
Separate Accounts are established in conformity with the New York State
Insurance Law and generally are not chargeable with liabilities that arise
from any other business of EVLICO. Separate Accounts assets are subject to
General Account claims only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds
the Separate Accounts liabilities.
Assets and liabilities of the Separate Accounts, representing net deposits
and accumulated net investment earnings less fees, held primarily for the
benefit of contractholders are shown as separate captions in the consolidated
balance sheets. Assets held in the Separate Accounts are carried at quoted
market values or, where quoted values are not available, at estimated fair
values as determined by management.
The investment results of Separate Accounts are reflected directly in
Separate Accounts liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, investment results of Separate Accounts were $342.2 million, $135.9
million and $344.1 million, respectively.
Deposits to Separate Accounts are reported as increases in Separate Accounts
liabilities and are not reported in revenues. Mortality, policy
administration and surrender charges of the Separate Accounts are included in
revenues.

For publicly traded fixed maturities and equity securities, estimated fair
value is determined using quoted market prices. For fixed maturities without
a readily ascertainable market value, EVLICO has determined an estimated fair
value using a discounted cash flow approach, including provisions for credit
risk, generally based upon the assumption that such securities will be held
to maturity. Estimated fair value for equity securities, substantially all of
which do not have a readily ascertainable market value, has been determined
by EVLICO. Such estimated fair values do not necessarily represent the values
for which these securities could have been sold at the dates of the
consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
securities without a readily ascertainable market value having an amortized
cost of $1,233.7 million and $1,571.5 million, respectively, had estimated
fair values of $1,291.1 million and $1,512.2 million, respectively.

Deductions for writedowns and asset dispositions for 1993 include a $20.2

result of adopting a new accounting statement for the valuation of these
investments that requires specific writedowns instead of valuation
allowances.
At December 31, 1995, the carrying values of investments held for the
production of income which were non-income producing for the twelve months
preceding the consolidated balance sheet date were $21.5 million of fixed
maturities and $29.1 million of mortgage loans on real estate.
EVLICO's fixed maturity investment portfolio includes corporate high yield
securities consisting of public high yield bonds, redeemable preferred stocks
and directly negotiated debt in leveraged buyout transactions. EVLICO seeks
to minimize the higher than normal credit risks associated with such
securities by monitoring the total investments in any single issuer or total
investment in a particular industry group. Certain of these corporate high
yield securities are classified as other than investment grade by the various
rating agencies, i.e., a rating below Baa or an NAIC (National Association of
Insurance Commissioners) designation of 3 (medium grade), 4 or 5 (below
investment grade) or 6 (in or near default). At December 31, 1995,
approximately 11.0% of the $4,217.2 million aggregate amortized cost of bonds
held by EVLICO were considered to be other than investment grade.
In addition to its holding of corporate high yield securities, EVLICO is an
equity investor in limited partnership interests which primarily invest in
securities considered to be other than investment grade.
EVLICO has restructured or modified the terms of certain fixed maturity
investments. The fixed maturity portfolio, based on amortized cost, includes
$13.7 million and $13.3 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
of such restructured securities. The December 31, 1994 amount includes fixed
maturities which are in default as to principal and/or interest payments, are
to be restructured pursuant to commenced negotiations or where the borrowers
went into bankruptcy subsequent to acquisition (collectively, "problem fixed
maturities") of $5.6 million. Gross interest income that would have been
recorded in accordance with the original terms of restructured fixed
maturities amounted to $1.4 million, $1.1 million and $2.2 million in 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. Gross interest income on these fixed maturities
included in net investment income aggregated $1.4 million, $1.0 million and
$1.5 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, mortgage loans on real estate with scheduled
payments 60 days (90 days for agricultural mortgages) or more past due or in
foreclosure (collectively, "problem mortgage loans on real estate") had an
amortized cost of $36.0 million (4.6% of total mortgage loans on real estate)
and $35.2 million (3.9% of total mortgage loans on real estate),
respectively.
The payment terms of mortgage loans on real estate may from time to time be
restructured or modified. The investment in restructured mortgage loans on
real estate, based on amortized cost, amounted to $173.5 million and $130.8
million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Gross interest income on
restructured mortgage loans on real estate that would have been recorded in
accordance with the original terms of such loans amounted to $16.1 million,
$12.3 million and $13.9 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Gross
interest income on these loans included in net investment income aggregated
$14.0 million, $11.4 million and $11.5 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Impaired mortgage loans (as defined under SFAS No. 114) along with the
related provision for losses were as follows:

(IN MILLIONS)
Impaired mortgage loans with provision for losses.... $ 99.0

Recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans....... 123.5
Provision for losses................................. 14.5
------------------
Net Impaired Mortgage Loans.......................... $ 109.0
==================
Impaired mortgage loans with no provision for losses are loans where the fair
value of the collateral or the net present value of the loan equals or
exceeds the recorded investment. Interest income earned on loans where the
collateral value is used to measure impairment is recorded on a cash basis.
Interest income on loans where the present value method is used to measure
impairment is accrued on the net carrying value amount of the loan at the
interest rate used to discount the cash flows. Changes in the present value
attributable to changes in the amount or timing of expected cash flows are
reported as investment gains or losses.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, EVLICO's average recorded investment
in impaired mortgage loans was $99.2 million. Interest income recognized on
these impaired mortgage loans totaled $8.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995, including $2.2 million recognized on a cash basis.
EVLICO's investment in equity real estate is through direct ownership and
through investments in real estate joint ventures. At December 31, 1995 and
1994, the carrying value of equity real estate available for sale amounted to
$55.6 million and $138.4 million, respectively. For the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, real estate of $12.2 million, $59.0
million and $92.1 million was acquired in satisfaction of debt. At December
31, 1995 and 1994, EVLICO owned $196.6 million and $230.5 million,
respectively, of real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt.
Depreciation on real estate is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the properties, which generally range from 40
to 50 years. Accumulated depreciation on real estate was $51.0 million and
$51.1 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Depreciation
expense on real estate totaled $12.8 million, $12.7 million and $11.6 million
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

7. REINSURANCE AGREEMENTS
EVLICO cedes reinsurance to other insurance companies. EVLICO evaluates the
financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant
losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The effect of reinsurance is summarized

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under a cost sharing agreement, EVLICO reimburses Equitable Life for its use
of Equitable Life's personnel, property and facilities in carrying out
certain of its operations. Reimbursement for intercompany services is based
on the allocated cost of the services provided. The incurred balances of
these intercompany transactions, which are included in other operating costs
and expenses are as follows:

Personnel and facilities......................................... $ 249.8 $ 257.9 $ 252.7
Agent commissions and fees....................................... 127.4 122.6 103.0
</TABLE>
These cost allocations include various employee related obligations for
pensions and postretirement benefits. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, EVLICO
recorded as a reduction of shareholder's equity its allocated portion of an
additional minimum pension liability of $10.7 million and $1.2 million, net
of Federal income taxes, respectively, representing the excess of the
accumulated benefit obligation over the fair value of plan assets and accrued
pension liability.
During 1995, 1994 and 1993, Equitable Life restructured certain operations in
connection with cost reduction programs. EVLICO recorded provisions of $6.7
million, $6.9 million and $17.3 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively,
relating primarily to allocated lease obligations (net of sub-lease rentals)
and severance liabilities.
EVLICO incurred investment advisory and asset management fee expenses of
$17.6 million, $19.2 million and $16.0 million during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
EVLICO and Equitable Life have an agreement whereby certain Equitable Life
policyholders may purchase EVLICO's policies without presenting evidence of
insurability. Under the agreement, Equitable Life pays EVLICO a conversion
charge for the extra mortality risk associated with issuing these policies.
EVLICO received payments of $2.9 million, $3.0 million and $3.1 million in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, which were reported as other income.
On August 31, 1993, EVLICO sold $250.0 million of primarily privately placed
below investment grade fixed maturities to EQ Asset Trust 1993 (the "Trust").
EVLICO realized a $1.1 million gain, net of related deferred policy
acquisition costs and deferred Federal income taxes. In conjunction with this
transaction, EVLICO received $75.4 million of Class B notes issued by the
Trust. These notes have interest rates ranging from 6.85% to 9.45%. The Class
B notes are classified as other invested assets on the consolidated balance
sheets.
Net amounts payable to Equitable Life were $190.2 million and $226.7 million
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
9. DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives
EVLICO primarily uses derivatives for asset/liability risk management and for
hedging individual securities. Derivatives mainly are utilized to reduce
EVLICO's exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Accounting for interest rate
swap transactions is on an accrual basis. Gains and losses related to
interest rate swap transactions are amortized as yield adjustments over the
remaining life of the underlying hedged security. Income and expense
resulting from interest rate swap activities are reflected in net investment
income. The notional amount of matched interest rate swaps outstanding at
December 31, 1995 was $444.8 million. The average unexpired terms at December
31, 1995 is 3.0 years. At December 31, 1995, the cost of terminating
outstanding matched swaps in a loss position was $10.1 million and the
unrealized gain on outstanding matched swaps in a gain position was $3.4
million. EVLICO has no intention of terminating these contracts prior to
maturity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
EVLICO defines fair value as the quoted market prices for those instruments
that are actively traded in financial markets. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are estimated using present value or
other valuation techniques. The fair value estimates are made at a specific
point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the
financial instrument, including estimates of timing, amount of expected
future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such estimates
do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for
sale at one time EVLICO's entire holdings of a particular financial
instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of
unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be
substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed
value be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.
Certain financial instruments are excluded, particularly insurance
liabilities other than financial guarantees and investment contracts. Fair
market value of off-balance-sheet financial instruments of EVLICO was not
material at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
F-15
<PAGE>
Fair value for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated by discounting
future contractual cash flows using interest rates at which loans with
similar characteristics and credit quality would be made. Fair values for
foreclosed mortgage loans and problem mortgage loans are limited to the
estimated fair value of the underlying collateral if lower.
The estimated fair values for single premium deferred annuities ("SPDA") are
estimated using projected cash flows discounted at current offering rates.
The estimated fair values for supplementary contracts not involving life
contingencies ("SCNILC") and annuities certain are derived using discounted
cash flows based upon the estimated current offering rate.
The following table discloses carrying value and estimated fair value for
financial instruments not otherwise disclosed in Note 3:

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
EVLICO is the obligor under certain structured settlement agreements which
it had entered into with unaffiliated insurance companies and beneficiaries.
To satisfy its obligations under these agreements, EVLICO has purchased
single premium annuities from Equitable Life and directed Equitable Life to
make payments directly to the beneficiaries. A contingent liability exists
with respect to these agreements should Equitable Life be unable to meet its
obligations. Management believes the need to satisfy such obligations is
remote.
11. LITIGATION
A number of lawsuits have been filed against life and health insurers in the
jurisdictions in which EVLICO does business involving insurers' sales
practices, alleged agent misconduct, failure to properly supervise agents,
and other matters. Some of the lawsuits have resulted in the award of
substantial judgments against other insurers, including material amounts of
punitive amounts, or in substantial settlements. In some states juries have
substantial discretion in awarding punitive damages. EVLICO, like other life
and health insurers, from time to time is involved in such litigation as
well as other legal actions and proceedings in connection with its
businesses. Some of these litigations have been brought on behalf of various
alleged classes of claimants and certain of these claimants seek damages of
unspecified amounts. While the ultimate outcome of such matters cannot be
predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management no such matter is
likely to have a material adverse effect on EVLICO's financial position or
results of operations.
12. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
EVLICO is restricted as to the amounts it may pay as dividends to Equitable
Life. Under the New York Insurance Law, the New York Superintendent has
broad discretion to determine whether the financial condition of a stock
life insurance company would support the payment of dividends to its
shareholders. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
statutory (loss) earnings totaled $(102.5) million, $27.3 million and
$(88.4) million, respectively. No amounts are expected to be available for
dividends from EVLICO to Equitable Life in 1996.
At December 31, 1995, EVLICO, in accordance with various government and
state regulations, had $4.2 million of securities deposited with such
government or state agencies.
Accounting practices used to prepare statutory financial statements for
regulatory filings of stock life insurance companies differ in certain
instances from GAAP. The following reconciles EVLICO's net change in
statutory surplus and capital stock and statutory surplus and capital stock
determined in accordance with accounting practices prescribed by the New
York Insurance Department with net earnings and equity on a GAAP basis.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Equitable Variable Life
Insurance Company
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, of shareholder's equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries ("EVLICO") at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of EVLICO's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, EVLICO
changed its methods of accounting for loan impairments in 1995, for
postemployment benefits in 1994 and for investment securities in 1993.

APPENDIX A
COMMUNICATING PERFORMANCE DATA
In reports or other communications to policyowners or in advertising material,
we may describe general economic and market conditions affecting the Separate
Account and the Trust and may compare the performance or ranking of the Separate
Account Funds and Trust portfolios with (1) that of other insurance company
separate accounts or mutual funds included in the rankings prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., Morningstar, Inc. or similar investment services that
monitor the performance of insurance company separate accounts or mutual funds,
(2) other appropriate indices of investment securities and averages for peer
universes of funds, or (3) data developed by us derived from such indices or
averages. Advertisements or other communications furnished to present or
prospective policyowners may also include evaluations of a Separate Account Fund
or Trust portfolio by financial publications that are nationally recognized such
as Barron's, Morningstar's Variable Annuities / Life, Business Week, Forbes,
Fortune, Institutional Investor, Money, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, Financial
Planning, Investment Adviser, Investment Management Weekly, Money Management
Letter, Investment Dealers Digest, National Underwriter, Pension & Investments,
USA Today, Investor's Daily, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the
Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune.
Performance data for peer universes of funds with similar investment objectives
are compiled by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper) in its Lipper Variable
Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service (Lipper Survey) and Morningstar,
Inc. in the Morningstar Variable Annuity / Life Report (Morningstar Report).
The Lipper Survey records performance data as reported to it by over 800 funds
underlying variable annuity and life insurance products. The Lipper Survey
divides these actively managed funds into 25 categories by portfolio objectives.
The Lipper Survey contains two different universes, which differ in terms of the
types of fees reflected in performance data. The "Separate Account" universe
reports performance data net of investment management fees, direct operating
expenses and asset-based charges applicable under variable insurance and annuity
contracts. The "Mutual Fund" universe reports performance net only of investment
management fees and direct operating expenses, and therefore reflects
asset-based charges that relate only to the underlying mutual fund.
The Morningstar Report consists of nearly 700 variable life and annuity funds,
all of which report their data net of investment management fees, direct
operating expenses and separate account level charges.
LONG-TERM MARKET TRENDS
As a tool for understanding how different investment strategies may affect
long-term results, it may be useful to consider the historical returns on
different types of assets. The following chart presents historical return trends
for various types of securities. The information presented, while not directly
related to the performance of the Funds of the Separate Account or the Trust
portfolios, may help to provide a perspective on the potential returns of
different asset classes over different periods of time. By combining this
information with your knowledge of your own financial needs, you may be able to
better determine how you wish to allocate your IL Protector premiums.
Historically, the investment performance of common stocks over the long term has
generally been superior to that of long or short-term debt securities, although
common stocks have been subject to more dramatic changes in value over short
periods of time. The Common Stock Fund of the Separate Account may, therefore,
be a desirable selection for policyowners who are willing to accept such risks.
Policyowners who have a need to limit short-term risk, may find it preferable to
allocate a smaller percentage of their net premiums to those funds that invest
primarily in common stock. Any investment in securities, whether equity or debt,
involves varying degrees of potential risk, in addition to offering varying
degrees of potential reward.
The chart on page A-2 illustrates the average annual compound rates of return
over selected time periods between December 31, 1925 and December 31, 1995 for
common stocks, long-term government bonds, long-term corporate bonds,
intermediate-term government bonds and Treasury Bills. The Consumer Price Index
is shown as a measure of inflation for comparison purposes. The average annual
returns assume the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains and interest.
The information presented is an historical record of unmanaged groups of
securities and is neither an estimate nor a guarantee of future results. In
addition, investment management fees and expenses and charges associated with a
variable life insurance policy, are not reflected.
The rates of return illustrated do not represent returns of the Separate Account
or the Trust and do not constitute a representation that the performance of the
Separate Account funds or the Trust portfolios will correspond to rates of
return such as those illustrated in the chart. For a comparative illustration of
performance results of The Hudson River Trust, see page A-1 of the Trust's
prospectus.

Dear Sirs:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the filing of a Registration
Statement on Form S-6, File No. 333-01593 ("Registration Statement") of Separate
Account FP ("Separate Account FP") of Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company
("Equitable Variable"). The Registration Statement covers an indefinite number
of units of interest in Separate Account FP ("Units") under IL Protector (policy
form No. 96-400) an individual flexible premium variable life insurance policy
issued by Equitable Variable ("Policy"). Net premiums received under the
Policies are allocated by Equitable Variable to Separate Account FP to the
extent directed by owners of the Policies. Net premiums under other variable
life insurance policies issued by Equitable Variable may also be allocated to
Separate Account FP.
The Policies are designed to provide life insurance protection and are to
be offered in the manner described in the Prospectus included in the
Registration Statement. The Policies will be sold only in jurisdictions
authorizing such sales.
I have examined all such corporate records of Equitable Variable and such
other documents and laws as I consider appropriate as a basis for the opinion
hereinafter expressed. On the basis of such examination, it is my opinion that:
1. Equitable Variable is a corporation duly organized and validly existing
under the laws of the State of New York.
2. Separate Account FP was duly established and is maintained by Equitable
Variable pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, under which income,
gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to Separate
Account FP, are, in accordance with the Policies, credited to or charged against
Separate Account FP without regard to other income, gains or
losses of Equitable Variable.
<PAGE>
3. Assets allocated to Separate Account FP will be owned by Equitable
Variable; Equitable Variable is not a trustee with respect thereto. The Policies
provide that the portion of the assets of Separate Account FP equal to the
reserves and other Policy liabilities with respect to Separate Account FP will
not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business
Equitable Variable may conduct. Equitable Variable reserves the right to
transfer assets of Separate Account FP in excess of such reserves and other
Policy liabilities to the general account of Equitable Variable.
4. When issued and sold as described above, the Policies (including any
Units duly credited thereunder) will be duly authorized and will constitute
validly issued and binding obligations of Equitable Variable in accordance with
their terms.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Mary P. Breen

New York, New York 10019
This opinion is furnished in connection with the Registration Statement on
Form S-6, File No. 333-01593 ("Registration Statement") of Separate Account FP
("Separate Account FP") of Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company ("Equitable
Variable") covering an indefinite number of units of interest in Separate
Account FP under IL Protector (TM) (policy form no. 96-400), flexible premium
variable life insurance policies ("Policies"). Net premiums received under the
Policies may be allocated to Separate Account FP as described in the Prospectus
included in the Registration Statement.
I participated in the preparation of the Policies and I am familiar with
their provisions. I am also familiar with the description contained in the
prospectus. In my opinion:
1. The Illustrations of Cash Surrender Values Based on Historical
Investment Results in the Summary to the Prospectus and the
Illustrations of Policy Benefits in Part 4 of the Prospectus (the
"Illustrations") are consistent with the provisions of the Policies.
The assumptions upon which these Illustrations are based, including
the current cost of insurance and expense charges, are stated in the
Prospectus and are reasonable. The Policies have not been designed so
as to make the relationship between premiums and benefits, as shown in
the Illustrations, appear disproportionately more favorable to
prospective purchasers of Policies for non-tobacco user preferred risk
males age 40 than to prospective purchasers of Policies for males at
other ages or in other underwriting classes or for females. The
particular Illustrations shown were not selected for the purpose of
making the relationship appear more favorable.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to my name under the heading
"Accounting and Actuarial Experts" in the Prospectus.
Very truly yours,
