<PAGE>
Premium Payments
Minimum initial premium.
Before your Policy is effective, you must pay the minimum initial premium. We
will calculate the initial minimum premium based on a number of factors, such as
the age, sex and underwriting rate class of the proposed Insured, the desired
Face Amount, and any supplemental benefits riders.
Planned periodic premium.
When you apply for a Policy you will select the amount of premium payments you
plan to pay during the term of the Policy. We will establish a minimum for this
amount. You will also select intervals when you plan to pay this pay this
premium amount. This may be monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually.
Automatic bank drafts may be required for monthly payments.
Flexibility in premium payments.
During the term of the Policy, you may pay premiums at any time and in any
amount, within limits. Thus, you are not required to pay the planned periodic
premium and you may make payments in addition to the planned periodic premium.
Account Value
We will measure your benefits under the Policy by your Account Value. Your
Account Value will reflect:
o the premiums you pay;
o the returns earned by the Subaccounts you select;
o the interest credited on amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Account;
o any loans or partial withdrawals; and
o the Policy charges and expenses we deduct.
Death Benefit
Death Benefit Selections
When you apply for a Policy, you must select:
o The Face Amount.
o The death benefit option, which will be manner in which we calculate the
death benefit for your Policy.

<PAGE>
Three Death Benefit Options
You may select from three death benefit options. They are:
Level Death Benefit Option
o Level Death Benefit Option
The basic death benefit will be the greater of:
(1) The Face Amount; or
(2) The attained age corridor factor times the Account Value.
Increasing Death Benefit Option
o Increasing Death Benefit Option
The basic death benefit will be the greater of:
(1) The Face Amount plus the Account Value; or
(2) The attained age corridor factor times the Account Value.
Cash Value Accumulation Test Level Death Benefit Option
o Cash Value Accumulation Test Level Death Benefit Option
The basic death benefit will be the greater of:
(1) The Face Amount; or
(2) Account Value on the date of death multiplied by the appropriate
Minimum Death Benefit Factor.
We determine the attained age corridor factor and the Minimum Death Benefit
Factor according to the federal tax laws.
Changes You May Make.
Within limits, after your first Policy Anniversary, you may make changes to your
death benefit selections.
Cash Benefits During the Lifetime of the Insured
During the lifetime of the Insured, your Policy has cash benefits that you can
access within limits through loans, partial withdrawals or a surrender.
o Loans -- You may borrow against your Net Cash Surrender Value at any time.
If your Policy is a modified endowment contract, the Code may treat the
loan as a taxable distribution of income.
4
<PAGE>
o Partial Withdrawal -- You may withdraw part of your Account Value after the
first Policy year. We may deduct an administrative charge. If you make a
partial withdrawal during the surrender charge period, we will deduct a
surrender charge. A partial withdrawal may result in a decrease in the Face
Amount of your Policy, depending upon your death benefit option.
o Surrender -- You may surrender your Policy for its Net Cash
Surrender Value. If you surrender your Policy during the
surrender charge period, we will deduct a surrender charge. A
surrender will terminate your Policy.
Expenses of the Policy
Expenses reduce your returns under the Policy
We deduct expenses related to your Policy. These deductions are made:
o from premiums, your Account Value and the assets of the Subaccounts, and
o upon certain Policy transactions.
Deduction from Premiums -- we will deduct up to a maximum charge of 8.0% from
your premium payments for state premium taxes, federal taxes, sales and other
acquisition related expenses. Your premium net of these deductions will be the
amount allocated.
Monthly Deductions from Account Value -- we will deduct on each Monthly
Anniversary charges for:
o The administration of your Policy up to a maximum of $15 per month. After
the fifth Policy year, these charges may be reduced.
o The cost of insurance for your Policy
o The costs associated with acquiring and underwriting your Policy. We will
deduct a charge for the first five Policy years that will vary based on
your age, sex, risk class, and your Policy Face Amount. If you increase the
Face Amount of your Policy we will deduct new charges for the increased
Face Amount.
5
<PAGE>
o The cost of any supplemental benefits or riders.
If you elect, we will take the monthly deductions from your Account Value
allocated to the Cash Management Subaccount or Guaranteed Account. Otherwise, we
will take the monthly deductions from each Subaccount on a pro rata basis.
Deductions from Subaccount Net Assets -- we will deduct daily a charge for the
mortality and expense risks we assume at at an annual rate not to exceed 0.90%
of the subaccounts assets.
Deductions Upon Certain Policy Transactions -- If you make a Policy transaction,
a charge may apply. They are:
o Transfers -- You may make twelve transfers each Policy year free of charge.
Thereafter, we will deduct a fee of $25 per transfer from the transferred
amount.
6
<PAGE>
Administrative Charges for Partial Withdrawals
o Currently, we do not deduct any fees for processing the first four partial
withdrawal in a Policy year or any withdrawals under the systematic
withdrawal program. We charge $25 for processing each withdrawal in excess
of four or for processing any withdrawal in addition to withdrawals you
receive under the systematic withdrawal program.
Surrender Charges for Partial Withdrawals
o A partial withdrawal may also be subject to a surrender charge. A surrender
charge for partial withdrawals is equal to a pro rata portion of the
surrender charge that would apply to a full surrender. If you request a
surrender or a partial withdrawal during the first 10 Policy years, we may
deduct a surrender charge based on the initial Face Amount. If you request
a surrender or a partial withdrawal within 10 years immediately following
an increase in Face Amount, we will deduct a surrender charge based on the
increase in Face Amount. The surrender charge will be deducted before any
surrender proceeds are paid.
Surrender Charges for Face Amount Decreased
o A surrender charge may also deducted from the Account Value upon a decrease
in Face Amount. If you request a decrease in Face Amount during the first
10 Policy years, we will deduct a surrender charge based on the initial
Face Amount. If you request a decrease within 10 years immediately
following an increase in Face Amount, we will deduct a surrender charge
based on the increase in Face Amount. The surrender charge will be deducted
before any surrender proceeds are paid. Expenses of the variable investment
options also reduce your returns. In addition, you will indirectly bear the
costs of the investment management fees and expenses paid from the assets
of the portfolios you select.
Federal Tax Considerations
You should consider the impact of the Code.
Your purchase of, and transactions under, your Policy may have tax consequences
that you should consider before purchasing the Policy. You may wish to consult a
tax adviser. In general, the Life Insurance Proceeds will not be taxable income
to the Beneficiary. You will not be taxed as your Account Value increases. Upon
a distribution from your policy, however, you may be taxed on your Account Value
increases.

not own these assets. You only own your Policy.
We own the assets in the Separate Account. The Separate Account is divided into
Subaccounts. The Subaccounts available under the Policy invest in shares of a
specific portfolios of the Anchor Series Trust or SunAmerica Trust. The Separate
Account may include other Subaccounts which are not available under the Policy.
Income, gains and losses, realized or unrealized, of a Subaccount are credited
to or charged against the Subaccount without regard to any of our other income,
gains or losses. Assets equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities
with respect to each Subaccount are not chargeable with liabilities arising out
of any of our other businesses or separate accounts. If the assets exceed the
required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our
general account. We are obligated to pay all benefits provided under the Policy.

Amount, other than as a result of a scheduled automatic increase, or borrowed
money from the Policy Values, or added any rider after the Policy's issue date,
the Policy will not lapse during the no lapse period if the total premiums paid,
less any partial withdrawals, are at least equal to the minimum no lapse premium
multiplied by the number of months that have elapsed since the Policy issue
date.
You are not required to pay premiums in accordance with this plan. Rather, you
can pay more or less than the planned periodic premium or skip a planned
periodic premium entirely.
At any time you can change the amount and frequency of planned periodic premium
by sending a written notice to our Administrative Office.
Additional Premiums. Additional premiums are premiums other
than planned premiums. Additional premiums may be paid in any
amount and at any time subject to IRC limitations.
Depending on the Account Value at the time of an increase in the Face Amount and
the amount of the increase requested, an additional premium may be needed to
prevent your Policy from terminating.
13
<PAGE>
Paying premiums may not ensure that your Policy remains in force.
Effect of Premium Payments. In general, unless the lapse provision is in effect,
paying all planned periodic premiums may not prevent your Policy from lapsing.
In addition, if you fail to pay any planned periodic premiums, your Policy will
not necessarily lapse.
Your Policy will lapse only when the Net Cash Surrender Value on a Monthly
Anniversary is less than the amount of that date's monthly deduction. This could
happen if the Net Cash Surrender Value has decreased because:
o of the negative return or insufficient return earned by one or more of the
Subaccounts you selected; or
o of any combination of the following -- you have Outstanding Loans, you have
taken partial withdrawals, we have deducted Policy expenses, or your have
made insufficient premium payments to offset the monthly deduction.
No lapse premium guarantee.
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. We will establish a no lapse premium amount
that may be used as the planned periodic premium. If you have not caused an
increase in Face Amount, other than as a result of a scheduled automatic
increase, or borrowed money from the Policy Account Value or added any riders
after the Policy Issue Date, the Policy will not lapse during the period
specified in the Policy, if the sum of the premium paid to date, less any
withdrawals equals or exceeds the Minimum Premium multiplied by the number of
months since the Policy date.
Your Policy will not terminate immediately after your Account Value is
insufficient.
Grace Period. In order for insurance coverage to remain in force, the Net Cash
Surrender Value on each Monthly Anniversary must be equal to or greater than the
total monthly deductions for that Monthly Anniversary. If it is not, you have a
Grace Period of 61 days during which the Policy will continue in force. The
Grace Period begins on the Monthly Anniversary that the Net Cash Surrender Value
is less than the total monthly deductions then due. If we do not receive a
sufficient premium before the end of the Grace Period, the Policy will terminate
without value.
14
<PAGE>
How much you must pay to prevent your policy from terminating.
We will send you a written notice within 30 days of the beginning of any Grace
Period. The notice will state:
o A Grace Period of 61 days has begun.
o The amount of premium required to prevent your Policy from terminating.
This amount is equal to the amount needed to increase the Net Cash
Surrender Value sufficiently to cover total monthly deductions for the next
three (3) Monthly Anniversaries.
If the Insured dies during the Grace Period, we will still pay the Life
Insurance Proceeds to the Beneficiary. The amount we pay will reflect a
reduction for the unpaid monthly deductions due on or before the date of the
Insured's death.
If your Policy lapses with an Outstanding Loan you may have taxable income.
Premium Allocations. In the application, you specify the percentage of Net
Premiums to be allocated to each Subaccount. However, until the Period to
Examine and Cancel expires, we invest this amount in the Cash Management
Subaccount. The first business day after the period expires, we will reallocate
your Account Value in the Cash Management Subaccount based on the premium
allocation percentages in your application.
For all subsequent premiums, we will use the allocation percentages you
specified in the application until you change them. You can change the
allocation percentages at any time, by sending written notice to our
Administrative Office. The change will apply to all Premiums received with or
after your notice.
Allocation Rules. Your allocation instructions must meet the following
requirements:
o Each allocation percentage must be a whole number; and
o Any allocation to a Subaccount must be for at least 5%; and the sum of your
allocations must equal 100%.
15
<PAGE>
Crediting Premiums. Your initial Net Premium, will be credited to your Account
Value as of the Policy Date. We will credit and invest subsequent Net Premiums
on the date we receive the premium or notice of deposit at our Administrative
Office.
If any Premium requires us to accept additional risk, we will allocate this
amount to the Cash Management Subaccount until we complete our underwriting.
When accepted, and at the end of the Period to Examine and Cancel the Policy, we
will allocate it in accordance with your allocation percentages.

Guaranteed Investment Option
Under the Policy, you may currently allocate your Account Value to the
Guaranteed Account. In addition, if you request a loan, we will allocate part of
your Account Value to the Loan Account which is part of the Guaranteed Account.
We treat each allocation and transfer separately for purposes of crediting
interest and making deductions from the Guaranteed Account.
You assume the risk that interest credited may not exceed the guaranteed minimum
rate of 4% per year.
Interest Credited On the Guaranteed Account. All of your Account Value held in
the Guaranteed Account will earn interest at rate we determine, in our sole
discretion. This rate will never be less than 4% per year compounded annually.
o For amounts you allocate to or transfer to the General Account:
The Loan Payment portion of our Account Value earns a different interest rate
than the remaining portion of your Account Value in the Guaranteed Account.
o For the Loan Account portion of the Guaranteed Account:
We will credit interest of the Loan Account at an annual rate we determine.
Deductions from the Guaranteed Account. We will deduct any transfers, partial
withdrawals or any Policy expenses from the Guaranteed Account and your variable
investment options on a prorata basis, unless you provide other directions.
No portion of the Loan Account may be used for this purpose.
The Loan Account will only increase or decrease in value when Policy loans are
taken or repayments are made. If an amount is transferred from the Loan Account
to the remaining portion of the Guaranteed Account Value, it will be treated as
a new allocation to the Guaranteed Account and will be credited with interest at
the rate then in effect for Guaranteed Account allocations.
21
<PAGE>
Payments from the Guaranteed Account. If we must pay any part of the proceeds
for a loan or partial withdrawal or surrender from the Guaranteed Account, we
may defer the payment for up to six months from the date we receive the written
request. If we defer payment from the Guaranteed Account for 30 days or more, we
will pay interest on the amount we deferred at a rate of 4% per year, compounded
annually, until we make payment.
22
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investing Your Account Value
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Policy allows you to choose how to invest your Account Value. Your Account
Value will increase or decrease in proportion to:
o The returns earned by the Subaccounts you select.
o Interest credited on amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Account.
We will determine your Policy benefits based upon your Account Value. If your
Account Value is insufficient, your Policy may terminate. If the Net Cash
Surrender Value on a Monthly Anniversary is less than the amount of that date's
monthly deduction, the Policy will be in default and a Grace Period will begin.
Determining the Account Value
On the Policy Date, your Account Value is equal to your initial Net Premium. If
the Policy Date and the Issue Date are the same day, the Account Value is equal
to your initial premium, less the premium expenses and monthly deduction we
deduct.
On each Valuation Date thereafter, your Account Value is equal to:
o Your Account Value held in the Subaccounts; and
o Your Account Value held in the Guaranteed Account.
Your Account Value will reflect:
o the premiums you pay;
23
<PAGE>
o the returns earned by the Subaccounts you select;
o the interest credited on amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Account;
o any loans or partial withdrawals; and
o the Policy expenses we deduct.
Account Value in the Subaccounts. We measure your Account Value in the
Subaccounts by the value of the Subaccounts' accumulation units we credit to
your Policy. When you allocate premiums or transfer part of your Account Value
to a Subaccount, we credit your Policy with accumulation units in that
Subaccount. The number of accumulation units equals the amount allocated to the
Subaccount divided by that Subaccount's accumulation unit value for the
Valuation Date when the allocation is effected.
The number of Subaccount accumulation units we credit to your Policy will:
o increase -- when Net Premium is allocated to the Subaccount, amounts are
transferred to the Subaccount and loan repayments are credited to the
Subaccount.
o decrease -- when the allocated portion of the monthly deduction is taken
from the Subaccount, a Policy loan is taken from the Subaccount, an amount
is transferred from the Subaccount, or a partial withdrawal, including the
partial withdrawal charges, is taken from the Subaccount.
Accumulation Unit Values. A Subaccount's accumulation unit value varies to
reflect the return of the portfolio, and may increase or decrease from one
Valuation Date to the next. We arbitrarily set the accumulation unit value for
each Subaccount at $10 when the Subaccount was established. Thereafter, the
accumulation unit value equals the accumulation unit value for the prior
Valuation Period multiplied by the net investment factor for the current
Valuation Period.
24
<PAGE>
Net Investment Factor. The net investment factor is an index we use to measure
the investment return earned by a Subaccount during a Valuation Period. It is
based on the change in net asset value of the portfolio shares held by the
Subaccount, and reflects any dividend or capital gain distributions on the
portfolio shares and the deduction of the daily mortality and expense risk
charge.
Guaranteed Account Value. On any Valuation Date, the Guaranteed Account portion
of your Policy's Account Value equals:
o the total of all Net Premium, allocated to the Guaranteed Account, plus
o any amounts transferred to the Guaranteed Account, plus
o interest credited on the amounts allocated and transferred to the
Guaranteed Account, less
o the amount of any transfers from the Guaranteed Account, less
o the amount of any partial withdrawals, including the partial withdrawal
charges, taken from the Guaranteed Account, and less
o the allocated portion of the monthly deduction deducted from the Guaranteed
Account, plus
o the amount of the Loan Account. If you take a Policy loan, we transfer the
amount of the loan to the Loan Account held in the Guaranteed Account. The
value of your Loan Account includes transfers to and from the Loan Account
as you take and repay loans, and interest credited on the Loan Account.
Net Account Value. The Net Account Value on a Valuation Date is the Account
Value less Outstanding Loans on that date.
25
<PAGE>
Cash Surrender Value. The Cash Surrender Value on a Valuation Date is the
Account Value reduced by any surrender charge that would be assessed if the
Policy were surrendered on that date.
The amount you would receive on a Surrender of your Policy.
Net Cash Surrender Value. The Net Cash Surrender Value on a Valuation Date is
equal to:
o the Cash Surrender Value, less
o the Outstanding Loan on that date.
Transfers
You may transfer Account Value among the Subaccounts and to the Guaranteed
Account after the Period to Examine and Cancel. All transfer requests, except
for those made under the Dollar Cost Averaging, Automatic Rebalancing and
Systematic withdrawal programs, must satisfy the following requirements:
o Minimum amount of transfer -- You must transfer at least $250 or, the
balance in the Subaccount or the Guaranteed Account, if less;
o Form of transfer request -- You must make a written request unless you have
established prior authorization to make telephone transfers or other means
we make available;
o Transfers from the Guaranteed Account -- The maximum you may transfer in
any Policy year is equal to 25% of your Guaranteed Account value that is
not in the Loan Account on the most recent Policy anniversary. (Note: The
total amount of partial withdrawals and transfers in a Policy year may not
exceed this limit).
Date we Process Your Transfer Request. We must receive your transfer request at
our Administrative Office. We process transfers on the same date we receive your
transfer request. We may, however, defer transfers under the same conditions as
described in "When Proceeds Are Paid," page ___.
26
<PAGE>
Number of Allowable Transfers/Transfer Fee. We do not currently limit the number
of transfers you may make. We will currently assess a $25 transfer fee, however,
for each transfer in excess of 12 transfers during a Policy year. All transfers
processed on the same business day will count as one transfer for purposes of
determining the number of transfers you have made in a Policy year. Transfers in
connection with the Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic Rebalancing features
will not count against the 12 free transfers in a Policy year. We reserve the
right to increase or decrease the number of "free" transfers allowed in any
Policy year.
Telephone Transfers. If you have completed an authorization form allowing
telephone transfers, you may request transfers by telephone. Upon receipt of a
telephone transfer authorization form, we will issue you a personal
identification number. We confirm all telephone transfers in writing. Transfer
requests received by fax must first be confirmed before we will process. You
should review all confirmations to determine if there have been any unauthorized
transfers.
We will use reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone transfers requests
are genuine. We will not be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent instructions.
We reserve the right to suspend telephone transfer privileges at any time, for
some or all Policies.
27
<PAGE>
Dollar Cost Averaging
This program allows you to authorize us to make monthly transfers from any one
Subaccount to one or more of the Subaccounts or to the Guaranteed Account. The
allocations will be based on your most recent premium allocation instructions.
You may elect Dollar Cost Averaging at any time as long as your Account Value
from which transfers are made is at least $1000. No less than 5% may be
allocated to any one Subaccount or to the Guaranteed Account.
You may request that we transfer:
o A specified dollar amount -- we will automatically transfer this amount
monthly to the specified Subaccount from which transfers are made to the
Subaccount(s) or you have selected or to the Guaranteed Account for the
period you have specified or until the Subaccount from which transfers are
made has been depleted.
o A specified percentage -- We will automatically transfer monthly, a
specified percentage from the Subaccount from which transfers are made, to
the Subaccount(s) you have selected or to the Guaranteed Account, for the
period you have specified or until the Subaccount from which transfers are
made has been depleted. The percentage transferred will be based on the
value of the Subaccount from which transfers are made as of each Policy
Monthly Anniversary..
A bonus interest amount may be applied to the current crediting rate of the
Guaranteed Account if you elect the Guaranteed Account as the Account from which
transfers are made. This bonus interest amount will apply only for a new policy
and must be elected at the time of application. We will transfer monthly,
one-sixth of the Account Value of the Guaranteed Account over a period of six
months. The sixth transfer from the Guaranteed Account will include interest
earnings for the six-month period.
We reserve the right to establish transfer limits and to restrict the
Subaccounts from which transfers may be made.
When we will Process your Automatic Transfers. We will begin to process your
automatic transfers:
28
<PAGE>
o If you requested the automatic transfers when you applied for your Policy
-- on the first Monthly Anniversary following the end of the Period to
Examine and Cancel.
o If you elect the option after you applied for the Policy -- on the second
Monthly Anniversary following the receipt of your request at our
Administrative Office.
We will stop processing automatic transfers if:
o The funds in the Subaccount or the Guaranteed Account from which transfers
are made has been depleted;
o We receive your written request at our Administrative Office to cancel
future transfers;
o We receive notification of death of the Insured; or
o Your Policy goes into the Grace period.
Dollar Cost Averaging may lessen the impact of market fluctuations on your
investment. Using Dollar Cost Averaging does not guarantee investment gains or
protect against loss in a declining market.
Automatic Rebalancing
We may offer the ability to participate in the Automatic Rebalancing program to
rebalance your Account Value to match your allocation instructions.
29
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Death Benefits
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life Insurance Proceeds
During the Policy term, we will pay the Life Insurance Proceeds to the
Beneficiary after the Insured's death. To make payment, we must receive at our
Administrative Office:
o satisfactory proof of the Insured's death; and
o return of the Policy.
The Beneficiary may receive the Life Insurance Proceeds in one lump sum or under
any other payment option.
Payment of Life Insurance Proceeds. We will pay the Life Insurance Proceeds
generally within seven days after we receive the information we require. We will
pay the Life Insurance Proceeds to the Beneficiary in one lump sum or, if
elected, under a payment option. Payment of the Life Insurance Proceeds may also
be affected by other provisions of the Policy.
We will pay interest on the Life Insurance Proceeds from the date of the
Insured's death to the date of payment as required by applicable state law.
Amount of Life Insurance Proceeds. We will determine the Life Insurance Proceeds
as of the date of the Insured's death. The Life Insurance Proceeds will equal:
o the Death Benefit Amount determined according to the death benefit option
selected; plus
o any other benefits then due from riders to the Policy; minus
o the Outstanding Loan, if any, and accrued loan interest; minus
o any overdue monthly deductions if the Insured dies during a Grace Period.
30
<PAGE>
Death Benefit Options
You may select from three death benefit options. They are:
Level Death Benefit Option
o Level Death Benefit Option
The basic death benefit will be the greater of:
(1) The Face Amount; or
(2) The Attained Age corridor factor times the Account Value.
This death benefit option should be considered if you want to minimize your
cost of insurance.
Increasing Death Benefit Option
o Increasing Death Benefit Option
The basic death benefit will be the greater of:
(1) The Face Amount plus the Account Value; or
(2) The Attained Age corridor factor times the Account Value.
This death benefit option should be considered if you want your death
benefit to increase with your Policy's Account Value.
Cash Value Accumulation Test Level Death Benefit Option
o Cash Value Accumulation Test Level Death Benefit Option
The basic death benefit will be the greater of:
(1) The Face Amount; or
(2) Account Value multiplied by the appropriate Minimum Death Benefit
Factor.
This death benefit option should be considered when you want to maximize
the amount of premiums permitted for your Policy.
31
<PAGE>
Section 7702 of the Code defined alternative testing procedures for meeting the
definition of life insurance. Each Policy must qualify under one of the two
Death Benefit Qualification Options. The Owner will choose a Death Benefit
Qualification Option at the time of application. Once it has been chosen, the
Death Benefit Qualification Option cannot be changed while the Policy is in
force. Therefore, we will not permit changes from Level or Increasing Death
Benefit Options to the Cash Value Accumulation Test (CAT..) Level Death Benefit
Option.
Under both Death Benefit Qualification Options, there is a minimum Death Benefit
required at all times equal to the Account Value multiplied by the appropriate
Minimum Death Benefit Factor. The Minimum Death Benefit Factor depends on the
Death Benefit Qualification Option and may be based on the Attained Age, sex and
rate class of the Insured. A table of Minimum Death Benefit Factors for the
selected Death Benefit Qualification Option is located in the Policy.
32
<PAGE>
Changes in Death Benefit Options
If you have selected the Level Death Benefit Option you may change to the
Increasing Death Benefit Option. You may also change from the Increasing Death
Benefit Option to the Level Death Benefit Option. You may not change to or from
the Cash Value Accumulation Test Level Death Benefit Option.
How to request a change.
You may change your Death Benefit Options by providing your Agent with a written
request or by writing us at our Administrative Office. We may require that you
submit satisfactory evidence of insurability to us. If you request a change from
the Level Death Benefit Option to the Increasing Death Benefit Option, we will
decrease the Face Amount by an amount equal to Your Account Value on the date
the change takes effect. However, we reserve the right to decline to make such a
change if it would reduce the Face Amount below the minimum Face Amount. If you
request a change from the Increasing Death Benefit Option to the Level Death
Benefit Option, we will increase the Face Amount by an amount equal to your
Account Value on the date the change takes effect. Such decreases and increases
in the Face Amount are made so that the Death Benefit Amount remains the same on
the date the change takes effect.
Once approved, we will issue new Policy information pages and attach a copy of
your Application for Change. The change will take effect at the beginning of the
Policy Month that coincides with or next follows the date we approve your
request. We reserve the right to decline to make any changes that we determine
would cause the Policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under applicable tax
law as interpreted by us.
The change will take effect on the next Monthly Anniversary that coincides with
or next follows the date we approve your request.
Changes in Face Amount
At any time after the first Policy anniversary while the Policy is in force you
may request a change in the Face Amount. We will not make a change in Face
Amount that causes your Policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under of the
Code.
33
<PAGE>
Increases in Face Amount. Any request for an increase:
o Must be for at least $10,000.
o May not be requested in the same Policy year as another request for an
increase.
o May not be requested after the Insured is Attained Age 85.
A written application must be submitted to our Administration Office along with
satisfactory evidence of insurability. You must return the Policy so we can
amend the Policy to reflect the increase. The increase in Face Amount will
become effective on the Monthly Anniversary on or next following the date the
increase is approved, and the Account Value will be adjusted to the extent
necessary to reflect a monthly deduction as of the effective date based on the
increase in Face Amount.
Decreases in Face Amount. Any request for a decrease:
o Must be at least $1,000.
o Must not cause the Face Amount after the decrease to be less than the
minimum Face Amount at which we would issue a Policy.
o And, during any one of the first five (5) Policy years, the Face Amount may
not be decreased by more than 20% of the initial Face Amount. If the Face
Amount is decreased during the first 10 Policy years or within 10 Policy
years of an increase in Face Amount, a surrender charge may be applicable.
Consequences of a Change in Face Amount. Both increases and decreases in Face
Amount may impact the surrender charge. In addition, an increase or decrease in
Face Amount may impact the status of the Policy as a modified endowment
contract. An increase in Face Amount, other than as a result of a scheduled
automatic increase, will cause the termination of the Policy No- Lapse
provision.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Benefits During the Insured's Lifetime
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the lifetime of the Insured, your Policy has cash benefits which you may
access within limits by taking loans, partial withdrawals or a surrender.
Policy Loans
You may request a loan against your Policy at any time while the Policy has a
Net Cash Surrender Value. We limit the minimum and maximum amount of loan you
may take.
o Maximum Loan Amount
- During the First Policy year -- The maximum loan amount is 50% of your
Net Cash Surrender Value
- After the First Policy year -- The maximum loan amount is:
* Your Net Cash Surrender Value, less
* Interest to the next Policy anniversary on the loan amount you
are currently requesting , less
* The amount we calculate for the monthly deductions for each
Monthly Anniversary up to the next Policy anniversary.
o Minimum Loan Amount -- $500, unless you take the loan under the systematic
withdrawal program.
35
<PAGE>
How to request a loan.
You must submit a written request for a loan to the Administrative Office.
Policy loans will be processed as of the date we receive the request at our
Administrative Office. Loan proceeds generally will be sent to you within seven
days.
Interest. We charge interest daily on any Outstanding Loan at a declared annual
rate not in excess of 8%. The maximum net cost (the difference between the rate
of interest we charge on Policy Loans and the amount we credit on the equivalent
amount held in the Loan Account) of a loan is 2% per year. Interest is due and
payable at the end of each Policy year while a Policy loan is outstanding. If
interest is not paid when due, the amount of the interest is added to the loan
and becomes part of the Outstanding Loan.
Loan Account. You may direct us to take an amount equal to the loan proceeds and
any amount attributed to unpaid interest from any Subaccount or from the
Guaranteed Account. Otherwise, we will withdraw this amount from each Subaccount
on a pro rata basis. We transfer this amount to the Loan Account in the
Guaranteed Account.
When a loan is repaid, an amount equal to the repayment will be transferred from
the Loan Account to the Subaccounts and Guaranteed Account in accordance with
your allocation percentages in effect at the time of repayment.
Effect of Policy Loan. A Policy loan, whether or not repaid, will have a
permanent effect on the Life Insurance Proceeds and Account Value because the
investment results of the Subaccounts and current interest rates credited in the
Guaranteed Account will apply only to the non-loaned portion of the Account
Value. The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater this effect is likely to
be. Depending on the investment results of the Subaccounts or credited interest
rates for the Guaranteed Account while the Policy loan is outstanding, the
effect could be favorable or unfavorable.
In addition, loans from modified endowment contracts may be treated for tax
purposes as distributions of income.
If the Life Insurance Proceeds become payable while a Policy loan is
outstanding, the Outstanding Loan will be deducted in calculating the Life
Insurance Proceeds.
36
<PAGE>
If the Outstanding Loan exceeds the Net Cash Surrender Value on any monthly
anniversary, the Policy will be in default. We will send you, and any assignee
of record, notice of the default. You will have a 61-day Grace Period to submit
a sufficient payment to avoid termination. The notice will specify the amount
that must be repaid to prevent termination.
Outstanding Loan. The Outstanding Loan on a Valuation Date equals:
o All Policy loans that have not been repaid (including past due unpaid
interest added to the loan), plus
o accrued interest not yet due.
Loan Repayment. You may repay all or part of your Outstanding Loan at any time
while the Insured is living and the Policy is in force. Loan repayments must be
sent to our Administrative Office and will be credited as of the date received.
Policy Loan Net Cost. The maximum net cost (the difference between the rate of
interest we charge on Policy loans and the amount we credit on the equivalent
amount held in the Loan Account) of a loan is 2.00% per year.
Partial Withdrawals
Requirements for Partial Withdrawals.
You may request a partial withdrawal at any time after the first Policy
anniversary. We do not limit the number of partial withdrawals you may make. We
may limit the minimum and maximum amount of the withdrawals.
o Maximum Partial Withdrawal Amount -- In general, your Policy's Net Cash
Surrender Value except that the withdrawal may not cause the Policy Face
Amount to be less than the required minimum Face Amount.
37
<PAGE>
o Minimum Partial Withdrawal Amount -- $250. This limit is waived for
withdrawals under the systematic withdrawal program.
o Maximum Partial Withdrawal from the Guaranteed Account -- during any Policy
year you may only withdraw from the Guaranteed Account:
* 25% of your Net Guaranteed Account Value on the most recent Policy
anniversary. (Note: The total amount of partial withdrawal and
transfers in a Policy Year may not exceed 25% of this limit).
If you are a participant in the systematic withdrawal program, the maximum
partial withdrawal from the Guaranteed Account is the greater of:
* 25% of your Net Guaranteed Account Value on the most recent Policy
anniversary. (Note: The total amount of partial withdrawal and
transfers in a Policy Year may not exceed 25% of this limit); or
* The maximum amount you have withdrawn from the Guaranteed Account in
any of the prior Policy years.
How to request a partial withdrawal.
You must submit a written request to our Administrative Office. Your Account
Value will be reduced by the partial withdrawal amount plus any applicable
charges. When you request a partial withdrawal, you may direct us to take an
amount equal to the partial withdrawals from any Subaccount or from the
Guaranteed Account. If the Guaranteed Account value is insufficient to withdraw
the amount requested, we will withdraw the difference from the remaining
accounts on a pro rata basis unless you have provided specific instructions to
withdraw the amount from one or several Subaccounts.
We will process partial withdrawal requests as of the date we receive your
written request at our Administrative Office. We will generally pay partial
withdrawals within seven days.
38
<PAGE>
Expenses for Partial Withdrawal. We will deduct the applicable surrender charge
on a partial withdrawal. This charge will be deducted from your Account Value
along with the amount requested to be surrendered and will be considered part of
the partial withdrawal (together, the "partial withdrawal amount). Currently, we
do no assess a processing fee for the first four partial withdrawals each Policy
year. However, we reserve the right to assess a $25 processing charge for each
withdrawal.
Effect of Partial Withdrawal on your Face Amount. The Face Amount of your Policy
will also be reduced by the partial withdrawal amount if you selected the
o Level Death Benefit Option; or
o Cash Value Accumulation Test/Level Death Benefit Option.
We will reduce the Face Amount by the amount of the partial withdrawal in the
following order:
1. The most recent increase in the Face Amount, if any, will be reduced first.
2. The next most recent increases in the Face Amount, if any, will then be
successively decreased.
3. The initial Face Amount will then be decreased.
No partial withdrawal may be made that would reduce the Face Amount below the
minimum Face Amount.
Partial withdrawals from your Policy may have tax consequences.
39
<PAGE>
Systematic Withdrawal Program
You may access your Account Value by electing systematic withdrawals. This
provision allows you to automatically receive a steady stream on income on a
monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. You have the option to switch
to borrowing from your Account Value once a specified amount of withdrawals has
been reached. You may also elect to borrow the interest due on your outstanding
loan balance in order to continue to receive a steady stream of income.
Some withdrawals may be taxable.
Surrendering the Policy for Net Cash Surrender Value
You may surrender your Policy at any time for its Net Cash Surrender Value by
submitting a written request to our Administrative Office. We will require
return of the Policy. A surrender charge may apply. We will process a surrender
request as of the date we receive your written request and all required
documents. Your surrender request generally will be paid within seven days. The
Net Cash Surrender Value may be taken in one sum or it may be applied to a
payment option. Your Policy will terminate and cease to be in force if it is
surrendered for one sum.
It cannot later be reinstated.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Payment Options for Benefits
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Policy offers a wide variety of optional ways of receiving proceeds payable
under the Policy, such as on a surrender or death, other than in a lump sum. Any
agent authorized to sell this Policy can explain these options upon request.
None of these options vary with the investment performance of a separate account
because they are all forms of guaranteed benefit payments.
40
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expenses of the Policy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Periodically, we will deduct expenses related to your Policy. We will deduct
these:
o from premiums, Account Value and from Subaccount assets; and
o upon certain transactions.
The amount of these expenses are described in your Policy as either guaranteed
or current. We will never charge more than the guaranteed amount. We may in our
discretion deduct on a current basis less than the guaranteed amount.
Deductions From Premiums
We will deduct up to a maximum of 8% from each premium payment. This charge is
intended to provide for state premium taxes, DAC taxes and for other expenses
associated with acquiring and servicing a Policy. The amount allocated will be
the premium net of these deductions
Monthly Deductions From Account Value
On the Policy Date and each Monthly Anniversary thereafter, we make a deduction
from the Account Value. The amount deducted on the Issue Date is for the Policy
Date and any Monthly Anniversaries that have elapsed since the Policy Date. For
this purpose, the Policy Date is treated as a Monthly Anniversary.
We will deduct on each Monthly Anniversary charges for:
o The administration of your Policy up to a maximum of $15 per month for all
Policy years. We anticipate reducing these charges after policy year five.
41
<PAGE>
o The cost of insurance for your Policy
o The acquisition and underwriting costs of your Policy. This charge is based
on the Insured's age, sex, rate class, and the Policy Face Amount at issue.
The charge is assessed for the first five Policy years or the first five
years following a Face Amount increase on the increased Face Amount.
o The cost of any supplemental benefit riders.
If you elect, we will take the monthly deductions from your Account Value
allocated to the Cash Management Subaccount or Guaranteed Account. Otherwise, we
will take the monthly deductions from each Subaccount on a pro rata basis.
Administrative Charge. This charge compensates us for administrative expenses
associated with the Policy and the Separate Account. These expenses relate to
premium billing and collection, record keeping, processing claims, Policy loans,
Policy changes, reporting and overhead costs, processing applications and
establishing Policy records.
Cost of Insurance Charge. This charge compensates us for providing insurance
coverage. The charge depends on a number of factors, such as Attained Age, sex
and rate class of the Insured, and therefore will vary from Policy to Policy and
from month to month. For any Policy the cost of insurance on a Monthly
Anniversary is calculated by multiplying the cost of insurance rate for the
Insured by the Net Amount at Risk under the Policy on that Monthly Anniversary.
Net Amount at Risk.
The Net Amount at Risk is calculated as (a) minus (b) where:
(a) is the current Life Insurance Proceeds at the beginning of the Policy
month divided by 1.0032737; and
(b) is the current total Account Value.
42
<PAGE>
Rate Classes for Insureds. We currently rate Insureds in one of following basic
rate classifications, based on our underwriting:
o preferred nonsmoker;
o standard plus nonsmoker;
o standard nonsmoker;
o smoker;
o substandard for those involving a higher mortality risk.
We place the Insured in a rate class when we issue the Policy based on our
underwriting determination. This original rate class applies to the initial Face
Amount. When an increase in Face Amount is requested, we conduct underwriting
before approving the increase (except as noted below) to determine whether a
different rate class will apply to the increase. If the rate class for the
increase has a lower guaranteed cost of insurance rates than the original rate
class, the rate class for the increase also will be applied to the initial Face
Amount. If the rate class for the increase has a higher guaranteed cost of
insurance rates than the original rate class, the rate class for the increase
will apply only to the increase in Face Amount, and the original rate class will
continue to apply to the initial Face Amount.
If there have been increases in the Face Amount, we may use different cost of
insurance rates for the increased portions of the Face Amount. For purposes of
calculating the cost of insurance charge after the Face Amount has been
increased, the Account Value will be applied to the initial Face Amount first
and then to any subsequent increases in Face Amount. If at the time an increase
is requested, the Account Value exceeds the initial Face Amount (or any
subsequently increased Face Amount) divided by 1.0032737, the excess will then
be applied to the subsequent increase in Face Amount in the sequence of the
increases.
In order to maintain the Policy in compliance with Section 7702 of the Code,
under certain circumstances an increase in Account Value will cause an automatic
increase in the Life Insurance Proceeds. The Attained Age and rate class for
such increase will be the same as that used for the most recent increase in Face
Amount (that has not been eliminated through a subsequent decrease in Face
Amount).
43
<PAGE>
The guaranteed cost of insurance charges at any given time for a substandard
policy with flat extra charges will be based on the guaranteed maximum cost of
insurance rate for the policy (including table rating multiples, if applicable),
the current Net Amount at Risk at the time the deduction is made, plus the
actual dollar amount of the flat extra charge.
Our current cost of insurance rates may be less than the guaranteed rates. Our
current cost of insurance rates will be determined based on our expectations as
to future mortality, investment, expense and persistency experience. These rates
may change from time to time. In our discretion, the current charge may be
increased in any amount up to the maximum guaranteed charge shown in the table.
Cost of insurance rates (whether guaranteed or current) for an Insured in a
nonsmoker risk class are generally lower than rates for an Insured of the same
age and sex in a smoker risk class. Cost of insurance rates (whether guaranteed
or current) for an Insured in a nonsmoker or smoker risk class are generally
lower than rates for an Insured of the same age and sex and smoking status in a
substandard risk class.
Legal Considerations Relating to Sex-Distinct Premiums and Benefits. Mortality
tables for the Policy generally distinguish between males and females. Thus,
premiums and benefits under the Policy covering males and females of the same
age will generally differ.
We do, however, also offer the Policy based on unisex mortality tables if
required by state law. Employers and employee organizations considering purchase
of a Policy should consult their legal advisers to determine whether purchase of
a Policy based on sex-distinct actuarial tables is consistent with Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or other applicable law. Upon request, we may offer
the Policy with unisex mortality tables to such prospective purchasers.
Acquisition Expense. We will deduct from your Policy Account Value for expenses
associated with the acquisition and underwriting costs to issue your Policy.
This charge will vary based on the Insured's age, sex, rate class, and the
Policy Face Amount. The charge is assessed for the first five Policy years or
the first five years following a Face Amount increase on the increased Face
Amount.
44
<PAGE>
Deduction From Subaccount Assets
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. We deduct a daily charge from assets in the
Subaccounts for assuming certain mortality and expense risks under the Policy.
This charge does not apply to the amounts you allocate to the Guaranteed
Account. Although, the charge may be increased or decreased at the sole
discretion of the Company, it is guaranteed not to exceed an annual rate of
0.90% of the subaccounts assets for the duration of a Policy.
The mortality risk we assume is that the Insureds under a Policy may die sooner
than anticipated, and therefore we will pay an aggregate amount of Life
Insurance Proceeds greater than anticipated. The expense risk we assume is that
expenses incurred in issuing and administering all Policies and the Separate
Account will exceed the amounts realized from the administrative charges
assessed against all Policies.
Deductions Upon Policy Transactions
Transfer Charge. We currently impose a $25 transfer charge on any transfer of
Account Value among the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Account in excess of 12
free transfers permitted each Policy year. If the charge is imposed, we will
deduct it from the amount requested to be transferred before allocation to the
new Subaccount(s) and shown in the confirmation of the transaction.
Surrender Charge. The following discussion of the surrender charge represents
the maximum surrender charge that may be imposed under the Policy.
If the Policy is surrendered or there is a decrease in Face Amount during the
first 10 Policy years, we will deduct a surrender charge based on the initial
Face Amount. If a Policy is surrendered or there is a decrease in Face Amount
within 10 years after an increase in Face Amount, we will deduct a surrender
charge based on the increase in Face Amount. The surrender charge will be
deducted before any surrender proceeds are paid.
45
<PAGE>
Surrender Charge Based On An Increase Or Decrease In Face Amount. An increase in
Face Amount of the Policy will result in an additional surrender charge during
the 10 Policy years immediately following the increase. The additional surrender
charge period will begin on the effective date of the increase. If the Face
Amount of the Policy is reduced before the end of the 10th Policy year or within
10 years immediately following a Face Amount increase, we may also deduct a pro
rata share of any applicable surrender charge from your Account Value.
Reductions will first be applied against the most recent increase in the Face
Amount of the Policy. They will then be applied to prior increases in Face
Amount of the Policy in the reverse order in which such increases took place,
and then to the initial Face Amount of the Policy.
Partial Surrender Charges. We may deduct a partial surrender charge:
o upon a partial withdrawal; and
o If you have requested a reduction in your Policy Face Amount.
We deduct the partial surrender charge from the Subaccounts or the Guaranteed
Account in the same proportion as we deduct the amounts for your partial
withdrawal.
Partial Surrender Charge Due to A Decrease in Face Amount. We deduct an amount
equal to the applicable surrender charge multiplied by a fraction (equal to the
decrease in Face Amount divided by the Face Amount of the Policy prior to the
decrease).
Partial Withdrawal Administrative Charge. We reserve the right to deduct an
administrative charge upon a partial withdrawal of up to $25 per partial
withdrawal. Currently, we do not assess an administrative charge for the first
four partial withdrawals per Policy Year.
46
<PAGE>
Discount Purchase Programs
The amount of the surrender charge and other charges under the Policy may be
reduced or eliminated when sales of the Policy are made to individuals or to
groups of individuals in a manner that in our opinion results in expense
savings. For purchases made by officers, directors and employees of the Company,
an affiliate, or any individual, firm, or a company that has executed the
necessary agreements to sell the Policy, and members of the immediate families
of such officers, directors, and employees, we may reduce or eliminate the
surrender charge. Any variation in charges under the Policy, including the
surrender charge, administrative charge or mortality and expense risk charge,
will reflect differences in costs or services and will not be unfairly
discriminatory.
47
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supplemental Benefits and Riders
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The company intends to make available certain supplemental benefits and riders
which may be issued with the Policy. Any monthly charges for these supplemental
benefits and riders, as listed below, will be deducted from the Policy Account
Value.
Accelerated Benefit Rider (ABR)
Accidental Death Benefit Rider (ADB)
Additional Purchase Option Rider (APO)
Automatic Increase Benefit (AIB)
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB)
Child's Term Rider (CTR)
Other Insured Term Rider (OIR)
Primary Insured Rider (PIR)
Waiver of Monthly Deductions (WMD)
Waiver of Specified Premium (WSP)

Other Policy Provisions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right to Exchange or Convert
You may exchange or covert this Policy to a flexible premium fixed benefit life
insurance policy on the life of the Insured, without evidence of insurability.
This exchange may be made:
(a) within 24 months after the Issue Date while the Policy is in force;
(b) within 24 months of any increase in Face Amount of the Policy; or
(c) within 60 days of the effective date of a material change in the investment
policy of a Subaccount, or within 60 days of the notification of such
change, if later. In the event of such a change, We will notify you and
give you information on the options available.
When an exchange or conversion is requested, We accomplish the exchange by
transferring all of the Account Value to the Guaranteed Account. There is no
charge for this transfer. Once this option is exercised, the entire Account
Value must remain in the Guaranteed Account for the remaining life of the
policy. The Face Amount in effect at the time of the exchange will remain
unchanged. The Effective Date, Issue Date and Issue Age of the Insured will
remain unchanged. The Owner and Beneficiary are the same as were recorded
immediately before the exchange.
Limits on our Rights to Contest the Policy
Incontestability. We will not contest the Policy after it has been in force
during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Issue Date. Any increase in
the Face Amount will be incontestable with respect to statements made in the
application for that increase after the increase has been in force during the
life of the Insured for two years after the effective date of the increase.
49
<PAGE>
Suicide Exclusion. If the Insured commits suicide (while sane or insane) within
two years (unless otherwise specified by state law) after the Issue Date, our
liability will be limited to the payment of a single sum. This sum will be equal
to the premiums paid, minus any loan and accrued loan interest and minus any
partial withdrawal and minus the cost of any riders attached to the Policy. If
the Insured commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years after the
effective date of an increase in the Face Amount, then our liability as to the
increase in amount will be limited to the payment of a single sum equal to the
monthly cost of insurance deductions made for such increase plus the expense
charge deducted for the increase.
Changes in the Policy or Benefits
Misstatement of Age or Sex. If an Insured's age or sex has been misstated in the
Policy, the Life Insurance Proceeds and any benefits provided by riders shall be
those which would be purchased at the then current cost of insurance charge for
the correct age and sex.
Other Changes. At any time we may make such changes in the Policy as are
necessary to assure compliance at all times with the definition of life
insurance prescribed by the Code or to make the Policy conform with any law or
regulation issued by any government agency to which it is subject. [Any such
change, however, may be accepted or rejected by the Owner.]
50
<PAGE>
When Proceeds Are Paid
We will ordinarily pay any Life Insurance Proceeds, loan proceeds or partial or
full surrender proceeds within seven days after receipt at our Administrative
Office of all the required documents. Other than the Life Insurance Proceeds,
which is determined as of the date of death, the amount will be determined as of
the date of receipt of required documents. However, we may delay making a
payment or processing a transfer request if:
(1) the disposal or valuation of the Separate Account's assets is not
reasonably practicable because the New York Stock Exchange is closed
for other than a regular holiday or weekend, trading is restricted by
the SEC, or the SEC declares that an emergency exists; or
(2) the SEC by order permits postponement of payment for your protection.
In addition we may delay making deductions from the Guaranteed Account.
51
<PAGE>
Reports to Owners
You will receive a confirmation within seven days of the transaction of:
o the receipt of any unplanned premium (and any premium received before the
Issue Date);
o any change of allocation of premiums;
o any transfer between Subaccounts;
o any loan, interest repayment, or loan repayment;
o any partial withdrawal;
o any return of premium necessary to comply with applicable maximum receipt
of any premium payment;
o any exercise of your right to cancel;
o an exchange of the Policy;
o full surrender of the Policy; or
o payment of the Life Insurance Proceeds under the Policy.
Within 30 days after each Policy anniversary we will send you an annual
statement. The statement will show the Life Insurance Proceeds currently
payable, and the current Account Value, Cash Surrender Value, and the
Outstanding Loan. The statement will also show premiums paid, all charges
deducted during the Policy year, and all transactions. We will also send to you
annual and semi-annual reports of the Separate Account.
52
<PAGE>
Assignment
You may assign the Policy in accordance with its terms on a form provided by us.
We will not be deemed to know of an assignment unless we receive a copy of this
assignment form at our Administrative Office. We assume no responsibility for
the validity or sufficiency of any assignment. Any assignment or pledge of a
modified endowment contract as collateral for a loan may result in a taxable
event.
Reinstatement
If the Policy has ended without value, you may reinstate Policy benefits while
the Insured is alive if you:
1. Request reinstatement of Policy benefits within three (3) years (unless
otherwise specified by state laws) from the end of the Grace Period;
2. Provide evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
3. Make a payment of an amount sufficient to cover (I) the total monthly
administrative charges from the beginning of the Grace Period to the
effective date of reinstatement; (ii) total monthly deductions for three
(3) months, calculated from the effective date of reinstatement; and (iii)
the premium expense charge and any increase in surrender charges associated
with this payment. We will determine the amount of this required payment as
if no interest or investment performance were credited to or charged
against your Account Value; and
4. Repay or reinstate any Policy loan which existed on the date the Policy
ended.
The effective date of the reinstatement of Policy benefits will be the next
Monthly Anniversary which coincides with or next follows the date we approve
your request. From the required payment we will deduct the premium expenses. The
Account Value, Policy loan and surrender charges that will apply upon
reinstatement will be those that were in effect on the date the Policy lapsed.
53
<PAGE>
We will start to make monthly deductions again as of the effective date of
reinstatement. The monthly expense charge from the beginning of the Grace Period
to the effective date of reinstatement will be deducted from the Account Value
as of the effective date of reinstatement. No other charges will accrue for this
period.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time we may advertise the "total return" and the "average annual
total return" of the Subaccounts and the Funds. Both total return and average
total return figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future
performance.
"Total Return" for a portfolio refers to the total of the income generated by
the portfolio net of total portfolio operating expenses plus capital gains and
losses, realized or unrealized. "Total Return" for the Subaccounts refers to the
total of the income generated by the portfolio net of total portfolio operating
expenses plus capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized, and the
mortality and expense risk charge. "Average Annual Total Return" reflects the
hypothetical annually compounded return that would have produced the same
cumulative return if a Fund's portfolio's or Subaccount's performance had been
constant over the entire period. Because average annual total returns tend to
smooth out variations in the return of the portfolio, they are not the same as
actual year-by-year results.
The performance information illustrated below reflects the total of the income
generated by the portfolio net of the total portfolio operating expenses, plus
capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized. The performance results do not
reflect: monthly deductions; cost of insurance; surrender charges; sales loads;
DAC taxes; and any state or local premium taxes. If these charges were included,
the total return figures would be lower.
55
<PAGE>
Performance information may be compared, in reports and promotional literature,
to: (I) the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500"), Dow Jones Industrial
Average ("DJIA"), Shearson Lehman Aggregate Bond Index or other unmanaged
indices so that investors may compare the Subaccount results with those of a
group of unmanaged securities widely regarded by investors as representative of
the securities markets in general; (ii) other groups of variable life separate
accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, a
widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual funds and other
investment products by overall performance, investment objectives, and assets,
or tracked by other services, companies, publications, or persons, such as
Morningstar, Inc., who rank such investment products on overall performance or
other criteria; or (iii) the Consumer Price Index (a measure for inflation) to
assess the real rate of return from an investment in the Subaccount. Unmanaged
indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect
deductions for administrative and management costs and expenses.
We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications or other
materials information on various topics of interest to Owners and prospective
Owners. These topics may include the relationship between sectors of the economy
and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets,
investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, market timing,
dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, constant ratio transfer and account
rebalancing), the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-deferred and
taxable investments, customer profiles and hypothetical purchase and investment
scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement planning, and investment
alternatives to certificates of deposit and other financial instruments,
including comparisons between the Policy and the characteristics of and market
for such financial instruments.
Total return data may be advertised based on the period of time that the
portfolios have been in existence. The results for any period prior to the
Policy being offered will be calculated as if the Policy had been offered during
that period of time, with all charges assumed to be those applicable to the
Policy. Performance information for any Subaccount in any advertising will
reflect only the performance of a hypothetical investment in the Subaccount
during the particular time period on which the calculations are based.
Performance information should be considered in light of the investment
objectives and policies, characteristics and quality
56
<PAGE>
of the portfolio in which the Subaccount invests and the market conditions
during the given time period, and should not be considered as a representation
of what may be achieved in the future. Actual returns may be more or less than
those shown in any advertising and will depend on a number of factors, including
the investment allocations by an Owner and the different investment rates of
return for the portfolios.

Federal Income Tax Considerations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following summarizes the current federal income tax law that applies to life
insurance in general. This summary does not cover all situations. This summary
is based upon our understanding of the current federal income tax laws and
current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service. We cannot predict that
the Code will not change. You should speak to a competent tax adviser to discuss
how the purchase of a Policy and the transactions you make under the Policy will
impact your federal tax liability.
Tax Status of the Policy
A Policy has certain tax advantages when it is treated as a "life insurance
contract" under the Code. We believe that the Policy meets the definition of a
life insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Code. You bear the risk that
the Policy may not meet the definition of a life insurance contract. You should
consult your own tax advisers to discuss these risks.
The Company
We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For federal tax
purposes, the Separate Account and its operations are considered to be part of
our operations and are not taxed separately.
Diversification and Investor Control
The Code requires that we diversify the investments underlying variable
insurance contracts. If the investments are not properly diversified and any
remedial period has passed, Section 817(h) of the Code provides in general the
contract is immediately disqualified from treatment as a life insurance contract
for federal income tax purposes. Disqualification of the Policy as a life
insurance contract would result in taxable income to you at the time that we
allocate any earnings to your Policy. You would have taxable income even though
you have not received any payments under the Policy.
58
<PAGE>
To the extent that any segregated asset account with respect to a variable life
insurance contract invests in securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, the
diversification standard is satisfied. A segregated asset account underlying
life insurance contracts such as the Policy will also meet the diversification
requirements if, as of the close of each quarter:
o the regulated investment companies in which the segregated asset
account invest satisfy the diversification requirements described
below; and
o not more than 55 percent of the value of the assets of the account are
attributable to cash and cash items (including receivables),
Government securities and securities of other regulated investment
companies.
Alternatively, the diversification requirements may be met for each if:
o no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is
represented by any one investment;
o no more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is
represented by any two investments;
o no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is
represented by any three investments; and
o no more than 90% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is
represented by any four investments.
There are several ways for investments to meet the diversification requirements.
Generally, each United States government agency or instrumentality is treated as
a separate issuer under these rules.
All securities of the same issuer are generally treated as a single investment.
We intend that each portfolio in which the Subaccounts invest will be managed by
its investment adviser in compliance with these diversification requirements.
59
<PAGE>
A variable life insurance policy could fail to be treated as a life insurance
contract for tax purposes if the owner of the policy has control over the
investments underlying the policy (e.g., by being able to transfer values among
subaccounts with only limited restrictions). So as to be considered the owner of
the underlying investments. There is some uncertaintly on this point because no
guidelines have been issued by the Treasury Department. If and when guidelines
are issued, we may be required to impose limitations on you're rights to control
investment designations under the Policy. We do not know whether any such
guidelines will be issued or whether any such guidelines would have retroactive
effect. We, therefore, reserve the right to make changes that we deem necessary
to insure that the Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract.
Tax Treatment of the Policy
Section 7702 of the Code sets forth a detailed definition of a life insurance
contract for federal tax purposes. The Treasury Department has not issued final
regulations so that the extent of the official guidance as to how Section 7702
is to be applied is quite limited. If a Policy were determined not to be a life
insurance contract for purposes of Section 7702, that Policy would not qualify
for the favorable tax treatment normally provided to a life insurance contract.
With respect to a Policy issued on the basis of a standard rate class, the
Company believes that such a Policy should meet the Section 7702 definition of a
life insurance contract.
With respect to a Policy that is issued on a substandard basis (i.e., a premium
class involving higher than standard mortality risk), there is less certainty,
in particular as to how the mortality and other expense requirements of Section
7702 are to be applied in determining whether such a Policy meets the definition
of a life insurance contract set forth in section 7702. Thus, it is not clear
that such a Policy would satisfy Section 7702, particularly if the you pay the
full amount of premiums permitted under the Policy.
If subsequent guidance issued under Section 7702 leads us to conclude that a
Policy does not (or may not) satisfy Section 7702, we will take appropriate and
necessary steps for the purpose of bringing the policy into compliance, but we
can give no assurance that it will be possible to achieve that result. We
expressly reserve the right to restrict Policy transactions if we determine such
action to be necessary to qualify the Policy as a life insurance contracts under
Section 7702.
60
<PAGE>
Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits In General
This discussion assumes that each Policy will qualify as a life insurance
contract for federal income tax purposes under Section 7702. The Life Insurance
Proceeds under the Policy should be excluded from the taxable gross income of
the Beneficiary. In addition, the increases in a Policy's Account Value should
not be taxed until there has been a distribution from the Policy such as a
surrender, partial surrender or lapse with loan.
Pre-Death Distribution
The tax treatment of any distribution you receive before the insured's death
depends on whether the Policy is classified as a modified endowment contract.
Policies Not Classified as Modified Endowment Contracts
o If you surrender the Policy or allow it to lapse, you will not be
taxed except to the extent the amount you receive is in excess of the
premiums you paid less the untaxed portion of any prior withdrawals.
For this purpose, you will be treated as receiving any portion of the
cash surrender value used to repay Policy debt. The tax consequences
of a surrender may differ if you take the proceeds under an income
payment settlement option.
o Generally, you will be taxed on a withdrawal to the extent the amount
you receive exceeds the premiums you paid for the Policy less the
untaxed portion of any prior withdrawals. However, under some limited
circumstances, in the first 15 Policy years, all or a portion of a
withdrawal may be taxed if the cash value exceeds the total premiums
paid less the untaxed portions of any prior withdrawals, even if total
withdrawals do not exceed total premiums paid.
o Extra premiums for optional benefits and riders generally do not count
in computing the premiums paid for the Policy for the purposes of
determining whether a withdrawal is taxable.
o Loans you take against the Policy are ordinarily treated as debt and
are not considered distributions subject to tax.
61
<PAGE>
Modified Endowment Contracts
o The rules change if the Policy is classified as a modified endowment
contract (or "MEC"). The Policy could be classified as a MEC if
premiums substantially in excess of scheduled premiums are paid or a
decrease in the face amount of insurance is made (or a rider removed).
The addition of a rider or an increase in the face amount of insurance
may also cause the Policy to be classified as a MEC. The rules on
whether a Policy will be treated as a MEC are very complex and cannot
be fully described in this summary. You should consult a qualified tax
adviser to determine whether a Policy transaction will cause the
Policy to be classified as a MEC. [We will monitor your Policy and
will take steps reasonably necessary to notify you on a timely basis
if your Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a MEC.]
o If the Policy is classified as a MEC, then amounts you receive under
the Policy before the insured's death, including loans and
withdrawals, are included in income to the extent that the cash value
before surrender charges exceeds the premiums paid for the Policy
increased by the amount of any loans previously included in income and
reduced by any untaxed amounts previously received other than the
amount of any loans excludible from income. An assignment of a MEC is
taxable in the same way. These rules also apply to pre-death
distributions, including loans, made during the two-year period before
the time that the Policy became a MEC.
o Any taxable income on pre-death distributions (including full
surrenders) is subject to a penalty of 10% unless the amount is
received on or after age 59 1/2, on account of your becoming disabled
or as a life annuity. It is presently unclear how the penalty tax
provisions apply to the Policies owned by businesses.
o All MECs issued by us to you during the same calendar year are treated
as a single Policy for purposes of applying these rules.
Interest on Policy Loans. Except in special circumstances, interest paid on a
loan under a Policy which is owned by an individual is treated as personal
interest under the Code and thus will not be tax deductible. In addition, the
deduction of interest that is incurred on any loan under a Policy owned by a
taxpayer and covering the life of any individual who is an officer or employee
of or who is financially interested in the business carried on by that taxpayer
may also be subject to certain restrictions set
62
<PAGE>
forth in Section 264 of the Code. Before taking a Policy loan, you should
consult a tax adviser as to the tax consequences of such a loan. (Also Section
264 of the Code may preclude business Owners from deducting premium payments.)
Policy Exchanges and Modifications. Depending on the circumstances, the exchange
of a Policy, a change in the Policy's death benefit option, a Policy loan, a
partial surrender, a surrender, a change in ownership, or an assignment of the
Policy may have federal income tax consequences. In addition, the federal, state
and local transfer, and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds will depend on the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.
Withholding. We are required to withhold federal income taxes on the taxable
portion of any amounts received under the Policy unless you elect to not have
any withholding or in certain other circumstances. You are not permitted to
elect out of withholding if you do not provide a social security number or other
taxpayer identification number. Special withholding rules apply to payments made
to non-resident aliens.
You are liable for payment of federal income taxes on the taxable portion of any
amounts received under the Policy. You may be subject to penalties under the
estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not
sufficient.
Generation Skipping Transfer Tax. A transfer of the Policy or the designation of
a beneficiary who is either 37 1/2 years younger than the Owner or a grandchild
of the Owner may have generation skipping transfer tax consequences.
Contracts Issued in Connection With Tax Qualified Pension Plans. Prior to
purchase of a Policy in connection with a qualified plan, you should examine the
applicable tax rules relating to such plans and life insurance thereunder in
consultation with a qualified tax adviser.
63
<PAGE>
Possible Charge for the Company's Taxes
At the present time, we do not deduct any charges for any federal, state or
local income taxes. However, we do currently deduct charges for state and
federal premium based taxes and the federal DAC tax. We reserve the right in the
future to deduct a charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting
from the application of the tax laws that we determine to be properly
attributable to the Separate Account or to the Policy.

Distribution of the Policy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The policy is sold by licensed insurance agents, where the Policy may be
lawfully sold, who are registered representatives of broker-dealers which are
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
The Policy will be distributed through the principal underwriter for the
Separate Account, AIG Equity Sales Corp. (AIGESC) 80 Pine Street, New York, New
York, an affiliate of the Company. AIGESC may also enter into selling agreements
with other broker dealers that will offer the policy.
Commissions may be paid to registered representatives based on Premiums paid for
Policies sold. Other expense reimbursements, allowances, and overrides may also
be paid. Registered Representatives who meet certain productivity and
profitability standards may be eligible for additional compensation. Additional
payments may be made for administrative or other services not directly related
to the sale of the Policies.
Other Policies Issued by the Company
The Company may offer other Policies similar to those offered herein.

Other Information

State Regulation
We are subject to the laws of Delaware governing insurance companies and to
regulation by the Delaware Insurance Department. We file an annual statement in
a prescribed form with the Insurance Department each year covering our operation
for the preceding year and our final condition as of the end of such year.
Regulation by the Insurance Department includes periodic examinations to
determine our Policy liabilities and reserves so that the Insurance Department
may certify the items are correct. Our books and accounts are subject to review
by the Insurance Department at all times and a full examination of its
operations is conducted periodically by the staff of the Insurance Department
pursuant to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Such regulation
does not, however, involve any supervision of management or investment practices
or policies. In addition, we are subject to regulation under the insurance laws
of other jurisdictions in which we may operate.
Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings to which the Separate Account or the principal
underwriter is a party. We are engaged in various kinds of routine litigation
which, in our opinion, are not of material importance in relation to our total
capital and surplus.
Experts
Our financial statements which appear in this Prospectus have been audited by
PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent certified public accountants, as stated
in their reports, and have been included in reliance upon the authority of such
firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Legal Matters
Legal matters relating to the federal securities laws are being passed upon by
the firm of Jorden Burt Boros Cicchetti Berenson & Johnson LLP of Washington,
D.C.
Published Ratings
The Company may from time to time publish in advertisements, sales literature
and reports to Owners, the ratings and other information assigned to it by one
or more independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Moody's, and
Standard & Poor's. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect the financial
strength and/or claims-paying ability of the Company and should not be
considered as bearing on the investment performance of assets held in the
separate account. Each year the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status
of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's Ratings. These
ratings reflect A.M. Best's current opinion of the relative financial strength
and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of
the life/health insurance industry. In addition, the financial strength of the
Company as measured by Standard & Poor's Insurance Ratings Services, and by
Moody's Investors Services, may be referred to in advertisements, sales
literature or in reports to Owners. These ratings are their opinions of an
operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet the obligations of its
life insurance policies and annuity contracts in accordance with their terms. In
regard to their ratings of us, these ratings are explicitly based on the
existence of a Support Agreement, dated as of December 13, 1991, between us and
our parent, American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"), pursuant to which AIG
has agreed to cause us to maintain a positive net worth and to provide us with
funds on a timely basis sufficient to meet our obligations to our policyholders.
The Support Agreement is not, however, a direct or indirect guarantee by AIG to
any person of the payment of any of our indebtedness, liabilities or other
obligations (including our obligations to our policyholders).
69
<PAGE>
The ratings are not recommendations to purchase our life insurance or annuity
products, or to hold or sell these products, and the ratings do not comment on
the suitability of such products for a particular investor. There can be no
assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or
that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating
organization if, in such organization's judgment, future circumstances relating
to the Support Agreement, such as a lowering of AIG's long-term debt rating, so
warrant. The ratings do not reflect the investment performance of the separate
account or the degree of risk associated with an investment in the separate
account.

Part II - Other Information
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic
information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or
regulation of the Commission theretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to
authority conferred in that section.
REPRESENTATION
AIG Life Insurance Company represents that the fees and charges deducted
under the Policy covered by this registration statement, in the aggregate are
reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be
incurred, and the risks assumed by the Company.
INDEMNIFICATION
Under its Bylaws, the Company, to the full extent permitted by Delaware law
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (whether
brought by or in right of the Company or otherwise) by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a Director of the Company, or while a Director of the
Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Director, Officer,
partner, Trustee, Employee, or Agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan,
against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses
actually incurred by him or her in connection with such proceeding.
The company shall extend such indemnification, as is provided to directors
above, to any person, not a director of the Company, who is or was an officer of
the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan. In
addition, the Board of Directors of the Company may, by resolution, extend such
further indemnification to an officer or such other person as may to it seem
fair and reasonable in view of all relevant circumstances.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to such provision of the bylaws or statutes or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any such action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the Policies issued by Variable Account II, the Company will
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in said Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
