This Prospectus describes a flexible premium variable life insurance
policy ("Policy") offered by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America
("Company"). Prior to April 1, 1993, the Company was known as North American
Life and Casualty Company. The Policy has been designed to be used in
connection with estate planning and other insurance needs of individuals.
Upon acceptance, premiums will be allocated to Allianz Life Variable
Account A ("Variable Account"), a separate account of the Company. Prior to
May 1, 1993, the name of the Variable Account was NALAC Variable Account A.
The Variable Account is divided into Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests in
one Fund of Franklin Valuemark Funds ("Trust"). The Trust is a series fund
with twenty-three Funds, twenty of which are currently available in connection
with the Policy : the Money Market Fund, the Adjustable U.S. Government
Fund, the High Income Fund, the Investment Grade Intermediate Bond Fund, the
Templeton Global Income Securities Fund, The U.S.
Government Securities Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the Income
Securities Fund, the Real Estate Securities Fund, the Rising Dividends
Fund, the Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund, the Utility Equity Fund,
the Capital Growth Fund , the Precious Metals Fund, the Small Cap Fund
,the Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund, the Templeton Global Growth
Fund, the Templeton International Equity Fund, the Templeton International

TO REGULATORY APPROVAL, SHARES OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND WILL BE
SUBSTITUTED FOR SHARES OF THE ADJUSTABLE U.S. GOVERNMENT FUND AND THE
INVESTMENT GRADE INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND ON OCTOBER 25, 1996, OR AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE THEREAFTER. THUS, FOLLOWING THE SUBSTITUTION, THE ADJUSTABLE AND THE
INTERMEDIATE BOND FUNDS WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE AS ELIGIBLE INVESTMENTS
FOR OWNERS. SEE "FRANKLIN VALUEMARK FUNDS, PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION TRANSACTION,"
BELOW. Prior to May 1, 1996, the Templeton Global Income Securities Fund was
known as the Global Income Fund. See "Summary" and "Tax Status -
Diversification" for a discussion of owner control of the underlying
investments in a variable life policy.
The Owner of the Policy bears the complete investment risk for all
amounts allocated to the Variable Account. The Cash Value and under certain
circumstances, the Death Benefit of the Policy may increase or decrease
depending on the investment experience of the Variable Account.
IT MAY NOT BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO PURCHASE THE POLICY AS A REPLACEMENT FOR
ANOTHER TYPE OF LIFE INSURANCE. IT ALSO MAY NOT BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO PURCHASE
FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INSURANCE
PROTECTION IF THE PURCHASER ALREADY OWNS ANOTHER FLEXIBLE PREMIUM LIFE
INSURANCE POLICY.

EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR
ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL

1993, the name of the Variable Account was NALAC Variable Account A.
SUMMARY
THE POLICY
The Policy described in this Prospectus is a flexible premium variable
life insurance policy. The Policy is "flexible" because unlike the fixed
premium and benefits of an ordinary whole life insurance policy, the frequency
and amount of premium payments can vary, the Owner can choose between death
benefit options and can increase or decrease the amount of insurance coverage,
all within the same policy of insurance.
The Policy is "variable" because the Policy Account, when allocated to
the Variable Account, and under certain circumstances the death benefit under
the Policy, may increase or decrease depending upon the investment results of
the selected Eligible Investments or Portfolios within an Eligible
Investment .
There are two death benefit options: Option A and Option B. If Death
Benefit Option A is in effect, the Death Benefit is the greater of the Total
Face Amount at the beginning of the Policy Month when the death occurs or the
Policy Account on the date of death multiplied by the applicable factor. Under
this option, the amount of the Death Benefit is fixed, except when it is
determined by such a percentage. If Death Benefit Option B is in effect, the
Death Benefit is the greater of the total Face Amount at the beginning of the
Policy Month when the death occurs plus the Policy Account on the date of
death or the Policy Account on the date of death multiplied by the applicable
factor. Under this option, the amount of the Death Benefit is variable. The
Owner can change the selection of death benefit option.
During the life of the Insured, the Owner can surrender the Policy for
all or part of its Net Cash Value.
The Owner may obtain a Policy Loan, using the Policy Cash Value as
security.
The Company makes available a number of riders that can be elected to
meet a variety of needs of the Insured. See "Death Benefit" section for a
description of the Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider and the Accelerated Benefit
Rider.
The Policy has been designed to comply with the definition of life
insurance contained in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended ("Code"). However, the law in this regard is very complex and unclear.
While every attempt has been made to comply, there is the risk that the
Internal Revenue Service will not concur with the Company's interpretations of
Section 7702 that were made in determining such compliance. Furthermore, under
certain circumstances, the Policy could be treated as a "modified endowment
contract" under Section 7702A of the Code. For a further discussion, see "Tax
Status - Tax Treatment of the Policy."
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
The Variable Account is a separate account of the Company which was
established to hold the investments which underlie the Policy. The Variable
Account is divided into Sub-Accounts. Each of the Sub-Accounts is invested
solely in the shares of one of the Funds of the Trust. (See "Franklin
Valuemark Funds".)
The Treasury Department has indicated that guidelines may be forthcoming
under which a variable life insurance policy will not be treated as life
insurance for tax purposes if the Owner of the Policy has excessive control
over the investments underlying the Policy. The issuance of such guidelines
may require the Company to impose limitations on the Owner's right to control
the investment. It is not known whether any such guidelines would have a
retroactive effect. (See "Tax Status - Diversification".)
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
The Company makes certain deductions from premiums, the Policy Account
and from the assets of the Variable Account. These deductions are made for
premium taxes, for mortality and expense risks, for administrative expenses,
for sales charges and for providing life insurance protection. These
deductions can be summarized as follows:
CHARGE FOR PREMIUM TAXES. This charge is for state and local premium
taxes and is deducted from each premium payment. The charge is equal to 2.5%
of each premium payment and approximates the average expenses to the Company
associated with premium taxes. See "Deductions and Charges - Premium Taxes."
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE. This risk charge is guaranteed not to
exceed, on an annual basis, 0.90% of the average daily net assets of each
Sub-Account and is deducted from the Sub-Account on each Valuation Date. The
current risk charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.60% of the average
daily net assets of each Sub-Account.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES. This charge is equal to:
a) on an annual basis, 0.15% of the average daily net assets of each
Sub-Account and is deducted from the Sub-Account on each Valuation Date; plus
b) $20 per Policy Month for the first Policy Year, and $9 per Policy
Month guaranteed thereafter. Currently, the charge is $5 per Policy Month
after the first Policy Year. These amounts are deducted from the Policy
Account on the Monthly Anniversary Date.
CHARGES FOR ADDITIONAL BENEFIT RIDERS. The amount of the charge, if any,
each Policy Month for additional benefit riders is determined in accordance
with the rider and is shown on the Coverage Page of the Policy.
INSURANCE RISK CHARGE. On each Monthly Anniversary Date, the Company
deducts from the Policy Account the cost of insurance for the next Policy
Month. This charge provides death benefit protection for the following Policy
Month.
SURRENDER CHARGES. A Surrender Charge may be deducted in the event of a
full or partial surrender. The Surrender Charge consists of two parts: a
Deferred Administrative Expense and a Deferred Sales Load. The Deferred
Administrative Expense is $5.00 per $1,000 of Face Amount of Insurance for the
first three Policy Years, then grades linearly to zero over Policy Years 4
through 13. The Deferred Sales Load is the lesser of 30% of the Surrender
Charge Premium, plus 5% of all premiums over the Surrender Charge Premium
(SCP), or the following percentage of SCP.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
YEARS % OF SCP
1-8 65%

10 55%
11 44%
12 33%
13 22%
14 11%
15+ 0%
</TABLE>
For some higher issue ages, the Standard Non-Forfeiture Law of the
state where the Policy is delivered may limit Surrender Charges to
amounts less than those defined above. A Surrender Charge may also
be deducted in the event of a decrease in Face Amount.
PARTIAL SURRENDER FEE. If the Owner surrenders only a portion of the Net
Cash Value at any time during the Insured's lifetime, there is an
administrative fee assessed which is currently equal to the lesser of $25 or
2% of the Partial Surrender Amount. A Partial Surrender that does not exceed
10% of the Net Cash Value may be made once each Policy Year without incurring
a Surrender Charge or the Partial Surrender Fee.
TRANSFER FEE. The Owner may transfer values from one Sub-Account to
another or to or from the Fixed Account. The first 12 transfers in a Policy
Year are free. The fee for each additional transfer is the lesser of $25 or 2%
of the amount transferred. Prescheduled automatic dollar cost averaging
transfers are not counted.
OTHER EXPENSES. The investment managers for the Trust are paid fees for
their services based upon each Fund's net assets.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE
The Policy may be cancelled by returning it with a written request for
cancellation to the Company at its ValueLife Service Center by the
later of: (a) the 20th day after the Owner receives it; or (b) the 45th day
after the application was signed. If this is done, the Company will refund
any premium paid. Prior to the Reallocation Date, premiums will be allocated
to the Money Market Sub-Account. On the Reallocation Date, the amount in the
Money Market Sub-Account will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable
Account and to the unloaned portion of the Fixed Account according to the
allocation percentages on the application. This transfer does not count in
determining the applicability of the transfer fee. The Reallocation Date is
the date 30 days after the Policy is released to an active status in the
Company's processing system.
CHANGE IN PLAN
The Owner may exchange the Policy for a similar one for another plan of
insurance. Any such change of plan is subject to the Company's approval and
the requirements and payment it may determine.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS
FUND SEEKING STABILITY
OF PRINCIPAL AND INCOME
Money Market Fund
The Money Market Fund seeks high current income , consistent with
capital preservation and liquidity. The Fund will pursue its objective
by investing exclusively in high quality money market instruments. An
investment in the Money Market Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed
by the U.S. government. The Money Market Fund attempts to maintain a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, although no assurances can be given
that the Fund will be able to do so.
FUNDS SEEKING CURRENT INCOME
Adjustable U.S. Government Fund
The Adjustable U.S. Government Fund seeks a high level of current income,
consistent with lower volatility of principal, by investing primarily in
adjustable rate securities which are issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities. SUBJECT TO REGULATORY
APPROVAL, SHARES OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND WILL BE SUBSTITUTED
FOR SHARES OF THE FUND ON OCTOBER 25, 1996, OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THEREAFTER,

AS AN ELIGIBLE INVESTMENT FOR OWNERS. SEE "FRANKLIN VALUEMARK FUNDS -
PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION TRANSACTION," BELOW.
High Income Fund

appreciation as a secondary objective, by investing in debt obligations and

yield, high risk, lower rated obligations (commonly referred to as "junk
bonds") which involve increased risks related to the creditworthiness of their
issuers.

consistent with preservation of capital, primarily through investment in
intermediate-term investment grade corporate obligations and in U.S.

TRANSACTION," BELOW.

Income Fund) seeks a high level of current income, consistent with
preservation of capital, with capital appreciation as a secondary
consideration, through investing in foreign and domestic debt obligations,
including up to 25% in high yield, high risk, lower rated debt obligations
(commonly referred to as "junk bonds") , and related currency
transactions. Investing in a non-diversified fund of global securities,
including those of developing markets issuers , involves increased
susceptibility to the special risks associated with foreign investing
The U.S. Government Securities Fund
The U.S. Government Securities Fund seeks current income and safety of
capital by investing exclusively in obligations issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.
FUNDS SEEKING GROWTH AND INCOME
Growth and Income Fund
The Growth and Income Fund seeks capital appreciation, with current
income return as a secondary objective, by investing primarily in U.S.
common stocks, securities convertible into common stocks and preferred
stocks.
Income Securities Fund

prospects for capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio
of domestic and foreign, including developing markets , debt obligations

risk , lower rated obligations (commonly referred to as "junk bonds")
which involve increased risks related to the creditworthiness of
their issuers .
Real Estate Securities Fund

current income return as a secondary objective, by concentrating its
investments in publicly traded securities of U.S. companies in the real
estate industry.
Rising Dividends Fund

consistently rising dividends over the past ten years. Preservation of
capital is also an important consideration. The Fund seeks current income
incidental to capital appreciation.
Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund
The Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund seeks a high level of total
return through a flexible policy of investing in equity securities, debt
obligations, including up to 25% in high yield, high risk, lower rated debt
obligations commonly referred to as "junk bonds"), and money market
instruments of issuers in any nation, including developing markets nations.
The mix of investments among the three market segments will be adjusted in
an attempt to capitalize on total return potential produced by changing
economic conditions throughout the world. Foreign investing involves
special risks.

income by investing in securities of domestic and foreign ,including
developing markets, issuers engaged in the public utilities
industry.
FUNDS SEEKING CAPITAL GROWTH

as a secondary consideration. The Fund invests primarily in equity
securities, including common stocks and securities convertible into common
stocks.

return as a secondary objective, by concentrating its investments in
securities of U.S. and foreign companies , including those in
developing markets, engaged in mining, processing or dealing in gold and
other precious metals.

The Small Cap Fund seeks long-term capital growth. The Fund seeks to
accomplish its objective by investing primarily in equity securities of small
capitalization growth companies. The Fund may also invest in foreign

Fund may involve greater risks and higher volatility and should not be
considered a complete investment program.
Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund

appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing
primarily in equities of issuers in countries having
developing markets. The Fund is subject to the heightened foreign
securities investment risks that accompany foreign developing markets and an
investment in the Fund may be considered speculative.
Templeton Global Growth Fund
The Templeton Global Growth Fund seeks long-term capital growth. The Fund
hopes to achieve its objective through a flexible policy of investing in
stocks and debt obligations of companies and governments of any nation,
including developing markets. The realization of income, if any, is only
incidental to accomplishment of the Fund's objective of long-term capital
growth. Foreign investing involves special risks.
Templeton International Equity Fund
The Templeton International Equity Fund seeks long-term growth of
capital. Under normal conditions, the Templeton International Equity Fund
will invest at least 65% of its total assets in an internationally mixed
portfolio of foreign equity securities which trade on markets in countries
other than the U.S. , including developing markets , and are
(i) issued by companies domiciled in countries other than the U.S.

their revenues or pre-tax income from activities outside of the U.S. .
Foreign investing involves special risks.
Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund
The Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund seeks long-term capital
appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing
primarily in equity securities of smaller companies outside the U.S.,
including developing markets. Foreign investing involves special risks and
smaller company investments may involve higher volatility. An investment in
the Fund may not be considered a complete investment program.
Templeton Pacific Growth Fund
The Templeton Pacific Growth Fund seeks long-term growth of capital ,
primarily through investing at least 65% of its total assets in equity
securities which trade on markets in the Pacific Rim, including developing
markets, and are (i) issued by companies domiciled in the Pacific Rim
or (ii) issued by companies that derive at least 50% of either their
revenues or pre-tax income from activities in the Pacific Rim. Investing in a
portfolio of geographically concentrated foreign securities, including
developing markets, involves increased susceptibility to the special
risks of foreign investing and an investment in the Fund may be considered
speculative.

GENERAL
There is no assurance that the investment objectives of any of the Funds
will be met. Owners bear the complete investment risk for Policy Account
values allocated to a Sub-Account.
Additional Funds and/or additional Eligible Investments may, from
time to time, be made available as investments to underlie the Policy.
However, the right to make such selections will be limited by the terms and
conditions imposed on such transactions by the Company.
Trust shares are issued and redeemed only in connection with variable
annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued through separate
accounts of the Company and its affiliates. The Trust does not foresee any
disadvantage to Owners arising out of the fact that the Trust may be made
available to separate accounts which are used in connection with both variable
annuity and variable life insurance products. Nevertheless, the Trust's Board
of Trustees intends to monitor events in order to identify any material
irreconcilable conflicts which may possibly arise and to determine what
action, if any, should be taken in response thereto. If such a conflict were
to occur, one of the separate accounts might withdraw its investment in the
Trust. This might force the Trust to sell portfolio securities at
disadvantageous prices.
SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITIES
If the shares of any Fund of the Trust should no longer be available for
investment by the Variable Account or, if in the judgment of the Company,
further investment in such shares should become inappropriate in view of the
purpose of the Policy, the Company may substitute shares of another Eligible
Investment (or Fund within the Trust). No substitution of securities in
any Sub-Account may take place without prior approval of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and under such requirements as it may impose.
PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION TRANSACTION
1. DESCRIPTION. Under its authority described above, the Company has proposed
a substitution transaction (the "Substitution") such that shares of The U.S.
Government Securities Fund ("Government Fund") would be substituted for all
shares of both the Adjustable U.S. Government Fund ("Adjustable Fund") and
the Investment Grade Intermediate Bond Fund ("Bond Fund") held by Sub-Accounts
of the Variable Account. Owners' interests in the Adjustable and Bond Fund
Sub-Accounts would be replaced by interests of equivalent value in the
Government Fund Sub-Account. As a result, following the Substitution, the
Adjustable Fund and Bond Fund Sub-Accounts would no longer be available to
Owners.
In April 1996, the Company and the Variable Account filed an application with
the Securities and Exchange Commission requesting an order approving the
Substitution. Upon obtaining the order, and subject to any prior approval by
applicable state insurance authorities, the Company and the Variable Account
propose to complete the Substitution on October 25, 1996
, or as soon
as possible thereafter.
2. REASONS FOR SUBSTITUTION. The Company has proposed the Substitution for
several reasons: the similarity of the affected Funds' investment objectives,
strategies and risks; the limited recent demand by Owners for fixed-income
investment choices; and the potential to benefit Owners through economies of
scale, including potentially lower operating expenses, by consolidating the
affected Funds' assets.
3. EFFECT ON OWNERS. Except as stated in this paragraph, Owners may continue
to redeem or transfer their Policy Account as stated under "POLICY ACCOUNT,
CASH VALUE, NET CASH VALUE, TRANSFER RIGHTS AND SURRENDERS -- TRANSFER
RIGHTS." Within five days after the Substitution, the Company will send to
Owners a written notice showing the shares of the Adjustable Fund and the
Bond Fund that have been eliminated and the shares of the Government Fund that
have been substituted (the "Notice"). For a 30-day period beginning on the
date following the mailing of the Notice, transfers out of the Government Fund
Sub-Account to any other available Sub-Account will not count toward the limit
on the annual number of free transfers. However, transfers pursuant to a
"market timing" strategy will continue to be subject to the applicable
restrictions on such transfers, as described under "Transfer Rights."
OWNERS CONSIDERING NEW PURCHASES OR TRANSFERS TO EITHER THE ADJUSTABLE OR BOND
FUNDS MAY ALSO WISH TO CONSIDER THE GOVERNMENT FUND, WHICH HAS SIMILAR
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES, AND TO CONSULT WITH THEIR INVESTMENT
REPRESENTATIVES. SEE THE ACCOMPANYING FRANKLIN VALUEMARK FUNDS PROSPECTUS.
Immediately following the Substitution, the Company will treat the
Sub-Accounts invested in shares of the Adjustable Fund, Bond Fund and
Government Fund as a single Sub-Account of the Variable Account for
administrative purposes. The Company will effect the Substitution by
simultaneously placing orders to redeem all shares of the Adjustable Fund and
Bond Fund and to purchase shares of the Government Fund equal in value to the
shares redeemed. The net asset values of all affected shares will be
determined as of the close of the business day immediately before the date of
these orders. The Company will bear the expenses of the Substitution, and
will send affected Owners a notice within five days after the Substitution.
The Company believes, based on its review of existing federal income tax laws
and regulations, that the Substitution will not have any tax consequences to
Owners.
Effective immediately, Owners may elect to use the Government Fund Sub-Account
as the source account for investments in other Funds through the Dollar Cost
Averaging ("DCA") program. If the Adjustable Fund Sub-Account is an Owner's
DCA source account at the time of the Substitution, the Government Fund
Sub-Account will automatically become the DCA source account after the
Substitution. If an Owner is using DCA to invest in the Bond Fund
Sub-Account, his or her DCA program will be adjusted to reflect DCA into the
Government Fund Sub-Account using the same allocation percentages when the
Substitution occurs, unless he or she has previously contacted the Company to
select other Sub-Accounts.

PREMIUM PAYMENTS
GENERAL
The initial premium for a Policy is due before the Company will deliver
the Policy. Before the Company will deliver a Policy, the application and the
premium must be in good order as determined by the Company's administrative
rules.
PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUMS
Planned periodic premiums may be paid annually, semi-annually, quarterly
or monthly. The Owner selects the planned periodic premium and payment
interval at the time of application. The Owner may change the amount and
frequency of premiums. The Company has the right to limit the amount of any
increase. Each premium after the initial premium must be at least $25 ($50 in
Maryland). Except in Maryland, the Company may increase this minimum limit 90
days after it sends the Owner a written notice of such increase.
UNSCHEDULED PREMIUMS
Additional unscheduled premium payments can be made at any time while the
Policy is in force. The Company has the right to limit the number and amount
of such premium payments. In order to preserve the favorable tax status of the
Policy, the Company may limit the amount of premiums paid and may return any
premiums that exceed the limits under the tax laws of the United States.
GRACE PERIOD
During the first 10 Policy Years (5 Policy Years in Massachusetts), a
grace period begins on the Monthly Anniversary Date when:
* the Net Cash Value is not large enough to cover the monthly deduction
made on that date; and
* adjusted premium payments are less than Accumulated Guaranteed
Coverage Premiums.
Adjusted premium payments as of a Monthly Anniversary Date equal:
* total premiums the Company has received on or before that date; minus
* any partial surrenders the Owner has made on or before that date, and
any Policy Debt.
Accumulated Guaranteed Coverage Premiums as of a Monthly Anniversary Date
equal:
* the Total Guaranteed Coverage Premium; multiplied by
* one plus the number of months the Policy has been in force as of that
Monthly Anniversary Date.
If the same Total Guaranteed Coverage Premium has not been in effect
every month during this period, Accumulated Guaranteed Coverage Premiums will
be based on the different premiums that were in effect and the number of
months for which each applied.
After the first 10 Policy Years (5 Policy Years in Massachusetts), a
grace period begins on the Monthly Anniversary Date when the Net Cash Value is
not large enough to cover the monthly deduction made on that date.
The Company will continue the Policy in effect for 61 days after a grace
period begins. If the Insured dies during a grace period, the Company will
deduct the premium that would have been required to keep the Policy from
terminating at the end of the grace period, as described below, from the
amount it would otherwise pay.
The Policy will terminate without value at the end of a grace period
unless the Company receives a premium large enough to keep the Policy from
terminating at the end of that grace period, as described below, before the
grace period ends. This premium must also meet the minimum premium
requirements.
During the first 10 Policy Years (5 Policy Years in Massachusetts), the
premium required to keep the Policy from terminating at the end of a grace
period equals the lesser of:
* three monthly deductions; or
* Accumulated Guaranteed Coverage Premiums for the Monthly Anniversary
Date when the grace period began minus adjusted premium payments as
of that date.
After the first 10 Policy Years (5 Policy Years in Massachusetts), the
premium required to keep the Policy from terminating at the end of a grace
period equals three monthly deductions.
The Company will notify the Owner in writing at least 31 days before a
grace period ends. The notice will show how much must be paid to keep the
Policy from terminating at the end of that grace period. The Company will send
the notice to the Owner's last known address on file.
REINSTATEMENT
The Policy may be reinstated (coverage restored) anytime within five
years after it has terminated at the end of a grace period. To reinstate the
Policy the Owner must:
* submit an application for reinstatement;
* submit proof satisfactory to the Company that the Insured is still
insurable at the risk classification that applies for the latest Face
Amount portion then in effect;
* pay or agree to reinstatement of any Policy Debt; and
* pay the premium required to reinstate the Policy.
The premium required to reinstate the Policy equals the total of the
following amounts:
* the amounts that would have been required for the Policy to continue
in force without entering a grace period for each month during the
grace period at the end of which it terminated; and
* the amount that will be required for the Policy to continue in force
without entering a grace period for the next 3 months after the
reinstatement date.
The reinstatement date will be the Monthly Anniversary Date on or
following the day the Company approves the application for reinstatement. The
Policy Account on the reinstatement date will be equal to the Policy Account
on the Monthly Anniversary Date when the grace period ended. The Surrender
Charge on the reinstatement date will be equal to the Surrender Charge on the
Monthly Anniversary Date when the grace period ended.
The Policy may not be reinstated after:
* it has been surrendered for its Net Cash Value; or
* the Insured's Death; or
* the Maturity Date.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUM
The premium is allocated to the Fixed Account or one or more of the
Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account as selected by the Owner. Prior to the
Reallocation Date, the initial premium is allocated to the Money Market
Sub-Account.
On the Reallocation Date, the Policy Account will be allocated to one or
more of the Sub-Accounts in accordance with the premium allocation on record.
This allocation is not deemed to be a transfer subject to the transfer fee
provision (see "Transfer Fee"). The Company reserves the right to limit the
number of allocations that an Owner can have at any one time. SUBJECT TO
REGULATORY APPROVAL, SHARES OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND WILL BE
SUBSTITUTED FOR SHARES OF THE ADJUSTABLE U.S. GOVERNMENT FUND AND THE
INVESTMENT GRADE INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND ON OCTOBER 25, 1996, OR AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE THEREAFTER. THUS, FOLLOWING THE SUBSTITUTION, THE ADJUSTABLE
U.S. GOVERNMENT AND THE INVESTMENT GRADE INTERMEDIATE BOND FUNDS WILL NO
LONGER BE AVAILABLE AS ELIGIBLE INVESTMENTS FOR OWNERS. SEE "FRANKLIN
VALUEMARK FUNDS - PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION TRANSACTION."
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
Dollar Cost Averaging is a program which, if elected, enables an Owner to
systematically allocate specified dollar amounts from the Money Market
Sub-Account , the Adjustable U.S. Government Sub-Account or The
U.S. Government Securities Sub-Account to the Policy's other Sub-Accounts
(maximum of five) at regular intervals. By allocating on a regularly scheduled
basis, as opposed to allocating the total amount at one particular time, an
Owner may be less susceptible to the impact of market fluctuations. UPON
REGULATORY APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION TRANSACTION, THE ADJUSTABLE
U.S. GOVERNMENT AND INVESTMENT GRADE INTERMEDIATE BOND FUNDS WILL NO LONGER BE
AVAILABLE IN THE DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM. SEE "FRANKLIN VALUEMARK
FUNDS - PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION TRANSACTION."
Dollar Cost Averaging may be selected for 12 to 36 months. The minimum
amount per period to allocate is $1,000. All dollar cost averaging transfers
will be made effective the tenth of the month (or the next Valuation Date if
the tenth of the month is not a Valuation Date). Election into this program
may occur at any time by properly completing the Dollar Cost Averaging
election form, returning it to the Company by the first of the month, to be
effective that month, and insuring that sufficient value is in either the
Money Market Sub-Account , the Adjustable U.S. Government Sub-Account
or The U.S. Government Securities Sub-Account. When utilizing the
Dollar Cost Averaging program, an Owner must be invested in either the Money
Market Sub-Account , the Adjustable U.S. Government Sub-Account or
The U.S. Government Securities Sub-Account and may be invested in a
maximum of five of the other Sub-Accounts.
Dollar Cost Averaging will terminate when any of the following occurs:
(1) the number of designated transfers has been completed; (2) the value of
the Money Market Sub-Account the Adjustable U.S. Government Sub-Account
or The U.S. Government Securities Sub-Account (as applicable) is
insufficient to complete the next transfer; (3) the Owner requests termination
in writing and such writing is received by the first of the month in order to
cancel the transfer scheduled to take effect that month; or (4) the Policy is
terminated. There is no current charge for Dollar Cost Averaging but the
Company reserves the right to charge for this program. In the event there are
additional transfers, the transfer fee may be charged. The Company does not
intend to profit from any such charge.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
Deductions under the Policy will be made as follows:
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
The Company deducts a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge from each
Sub-Account on each Valuation Date. This risk charge is guaranteed not to
exceed, on an annual basis, 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the
Sub-Account. The current risk charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.60% of
the average daily net assets of each Sub-Account. This risk charge compensates
the Company for assuming the mortality and expense risks under the Policy. The
mortality risk assumed by the Company is that the Insureds, as a group, may
not live as long as expected. The expense risk assumed by the Company is that
actual expenses may be greater than those assumed. The Company is responsible
for all administration of the Policy and the Variable Account. The Company
expects to profit from this charge.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES
The Company deducts Administrative Charges from each Sub-Account on each
Valuation Date and from the Policy Account on each Monthly Anniversary Date.
The asset-based charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.15% of the average
daily net assets of the Sub-Account. The Policy charge is equal to $20 per
Policy Month for the first Policy Year and $9 per Policy Month guaranteed
thereafter. Currently, the charge is $5 per Policy Month after the first
Policy Year. This charge reimburses the Company for expenses incurred in the
administration of the Policies and the Variable Account. Such expenses include
but are not limited to: confirmations, annual reports and account statements,
maintenance of Policy records, maintenance of Variable Account records,
administrative personnel costs, mailing costs, data processing costs, legal
fees, accounting fees, filing fees, the costs of other services necessary for
Policy Owner servicing and all accounting, valuation, regulatory and updating
requirements. The Company will not profit from the charges and they will be
reduced to the extent that the amount of the charges is in excess of that
necessary to reimburse the Company for its administrative expenses. Should the
guaranteed charges prove to be insufficient, the Company will not increase the
charges above such guaranteed levels and will incur the loss.
INSURANCE RISK CHARGES
The insurance risk charge for each Policy Month equals the total of the
insurance risk charges for that month for each Face Amount portion then in
effect. To determine the insurance risk charge for a Face Amount portion for a
Policy Month the Company multiplies:
* the Insurance Risk Amount for the Face Amount portion for that month;
by
* the cost of insurance rate that applies to the Face Amount portion for
that month.
The Insurance Risk Amount for a Face Amount portion for a Policy Month
equals the excess of:
* the Death Benefit associated with that Face Amount portion; over
* the amount of the beginning Policy Account, before the monthly
deduction for the month is subtracted, applied to reduce the risk
amount for that Face Amount portion.
If Death Benefit Option B is in effect, the beginning Policy Account is
attributed to the Initial Face Amount in determining the Death Benefit
associated with each Face Amount portion.
The amount of the Death Benefit based on the beginning Policy Account may
exceed the sum of the Face Amount portions and any beginning Policy Account
attributed to the Initial Face Amount. The excess will be attributed to the
most recent Face Amount portion then in effect in determining the Death
Benefit associated with each Face Amount portion.
The beginning Policy Account is applied, first, to reduce the risk amount
for the Initial Face Amount. Any beginning Policy Account in excess of the
Initial Face Amount is then applied to reduce the risk amount for the first
Face Amount increase portion in an amount up to that Face Amount portion.
Remainders are successively applied to reduce the risk amount for the
following Face Amount increase portions in the order of the increases until
the entire Policy Account has been applied.
The cost of insurance rate for a Face Amount portion for a Policy Month
equals the sum of:
* the standard cost of insurance rate for that month from the table of
standard cost of insurance rates declared by the Company's Board of
Directors (the declared standard cost of insurance rate); and
* an additional rate for any extra mortality risk classification that
applies for the Face Amount portion as shown on the Coverage Page of
the Policy, or the supplement to the Coverage Page if the Face Amount
has been changed.
The additional rate for an extra mortality risk classification for any
Policy Month equals the amount of extra mortality that the risk classification
represents for that month.
The total cost of insurance rate for a Policy Month will be uniform for
all Face Amount portions that:
* are in the same Face Amount band, sex, and risk classification;
* take effect when the Insureds are the same age; and
* have been in force the same length of time.
The Company may change the declared cost of insurance rates from time to
time based on its expectations as to future cost elements such as: investment
earnings, mortality, persistency, expenses and taxes. Any change the Company
makes will apply to all Face Amount portions in the same risk classification.
The declared standard cost of insurance rates for each Policy Month will
not be more than the amount shown in the table contained in the Policy. The
table is based on the Insured's age at his or her last birthday at the
beginning of each year (attained age), the Insured's sex and whether or not
the Insured has qualified for the non-smoker classification. For the Initial
Face Amount, the Insured's attained age is determined at the beginning of each
Policy Year. For each Face Amount increase, attained age is determined at the
beginning of each Policy Year measured from the date the increase took effect.
Since the mortality tables used with the Policy distinguish between males
and females, the cost of insurance and the benefits payable will differ
between males and females of the same age. Employers, employee plans and
employee organizations should seek legal advice to determine whether the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, Title VII, or other applicable law prohibits the use of
sex distinct mortality tables. The Company will offer the Policy based upon
unisex mortality tables where required.
CHARGES FOR ADDITIONAL BENEFIT RIDERS
The amount of the charge, if any, each Policy Month for additional
benefit riders is determined in accordance with the rider and is shown on the
Coverage Page of the Policy.
SURRENDER CHARGES
A Surrender Charge may be deducted in the event of a full or partial
surrender. The Surrender Charge consists of two parts: a Deferred
Administrative Expense and a Deferred Sales Load. The Deferred Administrative
Expense is $5.00 per $1,000 of Face Amount of Insurance for the first three
Policy Years, then grades linearly to zero over Policy Years 4 through 13. The
Deferred Sales Load is the lesser of 30% of the Surrender Charge Premium, plus
5% of all premiums over the Surrender Charge Premium (SCP), or the following
percentage of SCP.

</TABLE>
For some higher issue ages, the Standard Non-Forfeiture Law of the state
where the Policy is delivered may limit Surrender Charges to amounts less than
those defined above.
The Surrender Charge may also be deducted in the event of a decrease in
Face Amount.
The Surrender Charge at any time during the first Policy Year equals the
Surrender Charge at the end of the year. The Surrender Charge during any
subsequent Policy Year will be calculated based on end of year Surrender
Charges and the portion of the year that has been completed.
When the Policy terminates, the Policy Account may be less than the
Surrender Charge. If so, the Owner will not have to pay the difference. If the
Policy is reinstated, the Surrender Charge will also be reinstated.
PARTIAL SURRENDER FEE
If the Owner surrenders only a portion of the Net Cash Value at any time
during the Insured's lifetime, there is an administrative fee assessed which
is currently equal to the lesser of $25 or 2% of the Partial Surrender Amount.
(See "Policy Account, Cash Value, Net Cash Value, Transfer Rights and
Surrenders - Partial Surrenders".) A Partial Surrender that does not exceed
10% of the Net Cash Value may be made once each Policy Year without
incurring a Surrender Charge or the Partial Surrender Fee.
PREMIUM TAXES
There is a charge for state and local premium taxes and it is deducted
from each premium payment. The charge is equal to 2.5% of each premium payment
and approximates the average expenses to the Company associated with premium
taxes. Premium taxes currently imposed on the Policies offered hereby range
from 2% to 3.5% of premium payments. It is therefore possible that an Owner
may be assessed a charge for premium taxes which is greater than the
applicable charge in his or her state.
TRANSFER FEE
The Owner may transfer values from one Sub-Account to another or to or
from the Fixed Account. The first 12 transfers in a Policy Year are free. The
fee for each additional transfer is currently the lesser of $25 or 2% of the
amount transferred. Prescheduled automatic dollar cost averaging transfers are
not counted nor is the transfer of the initial premium at the end of the free
look period.
OTHER EXPENSES
The Managers for the Trust are paid
fees for their services based upon each Fund's net assets which
are described in the accompanying Trust prospectus.
INCOME TAX CHARGE
The Company does not currently assess any charge for income taxes
incurred by the Company as a result of the operation of the Sub-Accounts of
the Variable Account. The Company reserves the right to assess a charge
for such taxes against the Sub-Accounts if the Company determines that such
taxes will be incurred.
DEATH BENEFIT
DEATH BENEFIT
The amount of the Death Benefit depends on the total Face Amount, the
Policy Account on the date of the Insured's death and the Death Benefit
option (Option A or Option B) in effect at that time.
The total Face Amount is the sum of all of the Face Amount portions. The
Initial Face Amount and each Face Amount increase still in effect are Face
Amount portions. The Initial Face Amount and the Death Benefit option in
effect on the Issue Date are shown on the Coverage Page of the Policy.
OPTION A. The amount of the Death Benefit under Option A is the greater
of:
* the total Face Amount at the beginning of the Policy Month when the
death occurs; or
* the Policy Account on the date of death multiplied by the applicable
factor from the Table of Death Benefit Factors contained in the Policy.
OPTION B. The amount of the Death Benefit under Option B is the greater
of:
* the total Face Amount at the beginning of the Policy Month when the
death occurs plus the Policy Account on the date of death; or
* the Policy Account on the date of death multiplied by the applicable
factor from the Table of Death Benefit Factors.
CHANGE IN DEATH BENEFIT
The Owner may change the Death Benefit option after the Policy has been
in force for at least one year, subject to the following requirements:
* the Owner must request the change in writing;
* once the Death Benefit option has been changed, it cannot be changed
again for the next three years;
* if Death Benefit Option A is to be changed to Option B, the Owner must
submit proof satisfactory to the Company that the Insured is still
insurable at the risk classification that applies for the Initial
Face Amount as shown on the Coverage Page of the Policy. The Face
Amount will not change; and
* if Death Benefit Option B is changed to Option A, the Face Amount will
be increased by an amount equal to the Policy Account on the date of
the change. The risk classification for the last Face Amount portion
to go into effect which is still in force will apply to the Face
Amount increase. This increase will not result in any increase in
premiums, expense charges or Surrender Charges.
Any change in a Death Benefit option will take effect on the Monthly
Anniversary Date on or following the date the Company approves the request for
the change.
CHANGE IN FACE AMOUNT
The Owner may change the Face Amount of the Policy on any Monthly
Anniversary Date after the Policy has been in force at least one year, subject
to the following requirements. Once the Face Amount has been changed, it
cannot be changed again for the next twelve months.
FACE AMOUNT INCREASE. To increase the Face Amount the Owner must:
* submit an application for the increase;
* submit proof satisfactory to the Company that the Insured is an
insurable risk; and
* pay any additional premium which is required.
The Face Amount can only be increased before the Insured reaches age 81.
Each Face Amount increase must be at least as large as the Minimum Face Amount
Increase (currently $25,000). A Face Amount increase will take effect on the
Monthly Anniversary Date on or following the day the Company approves the
application for the increase.
The risk classification that applies for any Face Amount increase may be
different from the risk classification that applies for the Initial Face
Amount.
The following changes will be made to reflect the increase:
* the Guaranteed Coverage Premium will be increased.
* the Monthly Administrative Charge will increase to $20 per month for
the twelve months following the increase.
* additional Surrender Charges equal to the Face Amount increase (in
$1,000's) multiplied by the Surrender Charge Factors will apply for
13 years following the increase.
The Company will furnish a supplement to the Coverage Page of the Policy
that shows:
* the risk classification and the amount of the increase; and
* the values for the changes described above.
FACE AMOUNT DECREASE. The Owner must request in writing any decrease in
the Face Amount. The decrease will take effect on the later of:
* the Monthly Anniversary Date on or following the day the Company
receives the Owner's request for the decrease; or
* the Monthly Anniversary Date one year after the last change in Face
Amount was made.
A Face Amount decrease will be used to reduce any previous Face Amount
increases which are then in effect starting with the latest increase and
continuing in the reverse order in which the increases were made. If any
portion of the decrease is left after all Face Amount increases have been
reduced, it will be used to reduce the Initial Face Amount. The Company will
not permit a Face Amount decrease that would reduce the Initial Face Amount
below the Minimum Face Amount, currently $100,000.
The Guaranteed Coverage Premium will be reduced to reflect the Face
Amount decrease. The new Guaranteed Coverage Premium will be shown on a
supplement to the Coverage Page of the Policy.
The Company will deduct a charge from the Policy Account when the Face
Amount is decreased. The maximum charge the Company will deduct each time the
Face Amount is decreased is the lesser of:
* the total of the current Surrender Charge for the amount of each Face
Amount portion reduced; or
* the Policy Account when the decrease is made.
The charge will be deducted for each Face Amount portion reduced,
starting with the charge for the first Face Amount portion reduced, and
continuing in the same order in which the reductions are made until the charge
is completely deducted.
Future Surrender Charges will be reduced proportionately for any charges
deducted. After the Face Amount is decreased, the Surrender Charges for each
Face Amount portion for which a charge is deducted will be equal to the
Surrender Charges shown for that Face Amount portion on the Coverage Page of
the Policy, or in the supplement to the Coverage Page, multiplied by the ratio
of:
* the amount of the Surrender Charge in effect for the Face Amount
portion at the time the charge is deducted minus the amount of the
charge deducted for the Face Amount portion; divided by
* the amount of the Surrender Charge in effect for the Face Amount
portion at the time the charge is deducted.
GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER
The Owner can elect a Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider. This Rider provides
that the Policy will remain in force to attained age 95 for Death Benefit
Option A Policies and to attained age 80 for Death Benefit Option B Policies,
regardless of the performance of the underlying Fund, so long as the minimum
required premium is paid. The premium required is significantly higher than
the minimum premium required to issue the Policy and to keep it in force.
There is an additional charge for this benefit, currently $0.01 per $1000 of
Face Amount per Policy Month. A Policy cannot have both the Guaranteed Death
Benefit Rider and any of the following riders:
* Insured Term Rider
* Spouse Term Rider
ACCELERATED BENEFIT RIDER
The Owner can elect the Accelerated Benefit Rider. This rider provides
that the Owner may elect to receive some of the death benefit proceeds of the
Policy if the Insured is suffering from a terminal illness, as defined in the
rider. Death Benefits, Cash Values, if any, and Loan Values, if any, will be
reduced if a benefit is paid pursuant to this rider.

* the first premium paid less the charge for premium taxes, the initial
Insurance Risk Charge and the initial charge for any additional
benefit riders; minus
* the monthly deduction for the first Policy Month.
After the Issue Date the Policy Account equals the sum of the amounts in
the Fixed Account and in the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account under the
Policy.
METHOD OF DETERMINING SUB-ACCOUNT VALUES
Sub-Account values will fluctuate in accordance with the investment
experience of the applicable underlying Fund held within the Sub-Account. In
order to determine these Sub-Account values, the Company utilizes Sub-Account
valuation units. The value of a unit applicable during any Valuation Period is
determined at the end of that Period.
When the first shares of the Funds were purchased for the Sub-Accounts,
each Sub-Account valuation unit was valued at $10. The value of a unit within
each Sub-Account on any Valuation Date thereafter is determined by dividing
(a) by (b), where:
(a) is equal to:
1. the total value of the net assets in the Sub-Account; minus
2. the daily Mortality and Expense Risk Charge; minus
3. the daily charge for the asset-based Administrative Charge; plus or
minus
4. a charge or credit for any tax provision established for the
Sub-Account.
and (b) is the total number of units applicable to that Sub-Account
at the end of the Valuation Period.
A valuation unit may increase or decrease in value from Valuation Date to
Valuation Date.
CASH VALUE, NET CASH VALUE
The Cash Value equals:
* the Policy Account; minus
* the Surrender Charges.
See "Deductions and Charges" regarding a description of the Surrender
Charges.
The Net Cash Value equals:
* the Cash Value; minus
* any Policy Debt.
During the Insured's life the Owner may:
* take loans based on the Cash Value;
* make Partial Surrenders; or
* surrender the Policy for its Net Cash Value.
TRANSFER RIGHTS
At the Owner's request the Company will transfer amounts from the value
in any Sub-Account of the Variable Account to one or more of the Sub-Accounts
of the Variable Account or to the Fixed Account. The minimum amount that can
be transferred from the value in a Sub-Account of the Variable Account on any
date is the lesser of the Minimum Transfer Amount (currently $500) or the
value in that Sub-Account on that date. The Owner may transfer on any Policy
Anniversary an amount from the unloaned value in the Fixed Account to one or
more Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. However, transfers will be made
only if:
* the Company receives such request at least 30 days before that Policy
Anniversary; and
* the amount requested is not more than the greater of 25% of the
unloaned value in the Fixed Account on that Anniversary or the Minimum
Transfer Amount.
In no event will the Company transfer more than such unloaned value. The
minimum amount that the Company will transfer from the value in the Fixed
Account on any Policy Anniversary is the lesser of the Minimum Transfer
Amount, currently $500, or the unloaned value in the Fixed Account on that
date. Upon regulatory approval of the proposed Substitution transaction,
Owners who have selected the Adjustable U.S. Government Fund or the
Investment Grade Intermediate Bond Fund may be entitled to certain special
transfer rights. See "Franklin Valuemark Funds - Proposed Substitution
Transaction."
Twelve transfers may be made in a Policy Year without the imposition of a
charge. The Company may charge a transfer fee for additional transfers in a
Policy Year. The current transfer fee is the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount
transferred. The Owner may tell the Company how much of such a transfer fee is
to come from the unloaned value in the Fixed Account and from the values in
each of the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. If the Owner does not tell
the Company, it will make such deduction based on the proportions that the
unloaned values in the Fixed Account and the value in the Sub-Accounts of the
Variable Account bear to the total unloaned value in the Policy Account.
Neither the Variable Account nor the Trust are designed for
professional market timing organizations , other entities ,
or individuals using programmed , large, or frequent
transfers. A pattern of exchanges that coincides with a "market timing"
strategy may be disruptive to the Fund and may be refused. Accounts
under common ownership or control may be aggregated for purposes of transfer
limits. In coordination with the Trust, the Company reserves the right
to restrict the transfer privilege or reject any specific premium allocation
request for any person whose transactions seem to follow a timing pattern.
An Owner may elect to make transfers by telephone. To elect this option
the Owner must do so in writing to the Company. If there are Joint Owners,
unless the Company is informed to the contrary, instructions will be accepted
from either one of the Joint Owners. The Company will use reasonable
procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine.
If it does not, the Company may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized
or fraudulent instructions. The Company tape records all telephone
instructions.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS
The Owner may make a partial surrender from the Net Cash Value at any
time during the Insured's life and before the Policy has terminated. The
Minimum Partial Surrender Amount is currently $500. The Partial Surrender may
not exceed the Net Cash Value, less $300.
The Company will assess a Partial Surrender Fee when a partial surrender
is made. The maximum Partial Surrender Fee the Company will make is $50 and
the current charge is the lesser of 2% of the Partial Surrender Amount or $25.
In addition, a Surrender Charge may be assessed on the amount withdrawn. See
"Surrender Charges" above. A Partial Surrender that does not exceed 10% of the
Net Cash Value may be made once each Policy Year without incurring a Surrender
Charge or the Partial Surrender Fee.
When a partial surrender is made, the amount of the partial surrender,
the Partial Surrender Fee and the Surrender Charge, if any, will be deducted
from the Policy Account. The Owner elects how much of each partial surrender,
Partial Surrender Fee and Surrender Charge is to come from the unloaned value
in the Fixed Account and from values in each of the Sub-Accounts of the
Variable Account. If the Owner does not so elect, or if the Company
cannot make the Surrender on the basis of the Owner's direction or those
allocation percentages, the Company will make it based on the proportions that
the unloaned value in the Fixed Account and unloaned values in the
Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account bear to the total unloaned value in the
Policy Account.
The Face Amount will be reduced if Death Benefit Option A is in effect
when a partial surrender is made. Such a reduction will be equal to the amount
of the partial surrender minus the excess, if any, of:
* the Death Benefit at the time the partial surrender is made; over
* the Face Amount at the time the partial surrender is made.
However, if the amount of the partial surrender is less than or equal to
the excess described above, the Face Amount will not be reduced.
Any Face Amount reduction will be used first to reduce any Face Amount
increases then in effect starting with the latest increase and continuing in
the reverse order in which the increases were made. If any of the reduction is
left after all Face Amount increases have been reduced, it will be used to
reduce the Initial Face Amount.
The Company will not permit a partial surrender that would reduce the
Face Amount below the minimum Face Amount (currently $100,000). The Company
may limit the number of partial surrenders in a Policy Year, but this limit
will not be less than one.
FULL SURRENDERS
The Owner may completely surrender the Policy and receive the Net Cash
Value anytime during the Insured's life and before the Policy has terminated.
The full surrender will take effect on the later of:
* the date the Company receives the Owner's written request for the
surrender; or
* the date the Owner requests, in writing, for the surrender to take
effect.
The Policy and all coverage under it will terminate at 12:01 a.m. at
the Company's ValueLife Service Center Office on the date the surrender
takes effect.
Partial and full surrenders may have federal tax consequences (see "Tax
Status").
LOAN PROVISIONS
POLICY LOANS
The Company will loan money to the Owner at the loan interest rate the
Company establishes for each Policy Year during which the loan is outstanding.
The request by the Owner for a loan must be in writing.
The Policy Loan will be divided into two parts, the Preferred Loan and
the Non-Preferred Loan. A Preferred Loan may be made not more than once per
Policy Year, beginning the later of the tenth Policy Anniversary or the
anniversary following the Insured's 60th birthday. No more than 10% of the
Cash Value of the Policy at the time of the loan may be made as a Preferred
Loan. Any portion of a loan that is not a Preferred Loan is a Non-Preferred
Loan.
The Policy Loan must be allocated to the Fixed Account. If the Policy
Loan requested exceeds the loan limit, the Owner may also request a transfer
of values from the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account to the Fixed Account,
if such values are available. These values will be determined at the time of
the request for transfer. If the Owner does not indicate the proportions of
the Sub-Accounts to be transferred, the Company will make the transfers based
on the proportions that the values in the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account
bear to the total unloaned value in the Policy Account.
Policy loans may have federal tax consequences (see "Tax Status").
LOAN INTEREST CHARGED
There may be a lower declared loan interest rate each year for the
Preferred Loan than for the Non-Preferred Loan. The Company will determine the
loan interest rates for a Policy Year at least 60 days before the Policy Year
begins. The maximum annual loan interest rates the Company will use for
Preferred and Non-Preferred Loans for a Policy (the maximum allowable rate)
are the greater of:
* the guaranteed interest rate for the Fixed Account shown on the
Coverage Page of the Policy for a Policy Year (currently 3.5% for all Policy
Years) plus 1%; or
* MOODY'S CORPORATE BOND YIELD AVERAGE, MONTHLY AVERAGE CORPORATES as
published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., for the calendar month ending
two months before the date on which the loan interest rate is determined.
If MOODY'S CORPORATE BOND YIELD AVERAGE, MONTHLY AVERAGE CORPORATES is no
longer published on a timely basis, the Company will use a substantially
similar average approved by the insurance department in the state where the
Policy was delivered to determine the maximum allowable rate.
If the maximum allowable rate for a Policy is at least 1/2% lower than
the loan interest rate in effect for the previous Policy Year, the Company
will decrease the loan interest rate to not more than the maximum allowable
rate. If the maximum allowable rate for a Policy Year is at least 1/2% higher
than either loan interest rate in effect for the previous Policy Year, the
Company may increase either loan interest rate to not more than the maximum
allowable rate. The Company will not use a loan interest rate for any Policy
Year that exceeds 15%. The Company will notify the Owner as to the Preferred
Loan and Non-Preferred Loan interest rates that apply at the time a new loan
is made or when any Policy Debt is reinstated. If either loan interest rate
that applies to an existing Policy Loan is increased, the Company will notify
the Owner in writing at least 30 days before the new rate takes effect.
When a loan is made, interest for the rest of the current Policy Year
must be paid in advance. If interest is not paid when due, it will be added to
the Policy Debt and allocated to the Fixed Account. The accumulation of
Preferred Loans, together with interest on such loans, is the Preferred Debt.
The accumulation of Non-Preferred Loans, together with interest on such loans,
is the Non-Preferred Debt. Total Policy Debt is the sum of the Preferred Debt
and the Non-Preferred Debt, and equals the total outstanding loan with
interest. If the Total Policy Debt (including interest in advance) exceeds the
Fixed Account, the Company will transfer values from the Sub-Accounts of the
Variable Account to the Fixed Account if such values are available, based on
the proportions that the values in the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account
bear to the total value of the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. The
unpaid interest will then be treated as part of the Policy Debt and will bear
interest at the loan rates.
LOAN LIMIT
A loan may be for any amount which does not exceed the loan limit.
The loan limit equals:
* the Cash Value on the date the loan is made; minus
* interest for the rest of the current Policy Year; minus
* any existing Policy Debt.
SECURITY
The Policy will be the only security for the loan.
RESTRICTIONS ON MAKING LOANS
Loans will not be available during a grace period or after the Insured
dies.
REPAYING POLICY DEBT
The Policy Debt, or any part, may be repaid at any time as long as the
Policy is in force. The Company has the right to not accept partial loan
repayments for amounts less than $50. Any Policy Debt outstanding will be
deducted before any benefit proceeds are paid or applied under a payment
option.
Repayments will be applied first to the Non-Preferred Debt Account, and
then to the Preferred Debt Account, unless the Owner specifies differently.
Repayments will be allocated to the Fixed Account and to the Sub-
Accounts of the Variable Account based on the premium allocation schedule then
in effect, unless a different allocation is requested.
When there is Policy Debt outstanding, any payments received will be
applied first as repayment of debt, rather than as premium, unless the Company
is instructed otherwise.
LIMIT ON POLICY DEBT
Total Policy Debt must not exceed the Cash Value. If Total Policy Debt,
adjusted for any unearned loan interest, ever equals or exceeds the Cash
Value, the Company can terminate the Policy. The Policy will terminate 61 days
after the Company has mailed a written notice to the Owner and to anyone who
is relying on the Policy as collateral security as shown on the Company's
records. A notice will be sent to the last known address the Company has on
file.
OWNERSHIP
The Owner, as of the Issue Date, is named on the Coverage Page of the
Policy. The Owner may be the Insured or someone other than the Insured. If
another person has become the Owner after the Issue Date, the Company will
have a record of such change.
During the Insured's life, the Owner may exercise any rights and receive
all benefits described in the Policy.
While the Insured is alive, the Owner may exercise all the rights of the
Policy subject to the rights of:
1. any assignee under an assignment filed with the Dallas Office; and
2. any irrevocably named Beneficiary.
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP
The Owner may transfer ownership of the Policy. The Company will not be
responsible for any payment it makes or other action the Company takes before
a copy of the written transfer is received by it. The Company is not
responsible for the validity of the transfer. The Company may require the
Policy to record the transfer.
The new Owner takes the Policy subject to all Policy Debt.
ASSIGNMENT
The Owner may assign the Policy. A copy of any assignment must be filed
with the ValueLife Service Center . The Company is not responsible for
the validity of any assignment. If the Owner assigns the Policy, the Owner's
rights and those of any revocably-named person will be subject to the
assignment. An assignment will not affect any payments the Company may make or
actions it may take before such assignment has been recorded at the Company's
ValueLife Service Center .
BENEFICIARY PROVISIONS
The Company will pay any Death Benefit proceeds to the Primary
Beneficiary. Contingent Beneficiaries may be named to receive the proceeds
if the Primary Beneficiary dies before the Insured. If no named Beneficiary
is living when the Insured dies, the proceeds will be paid to the Owner or the
Owner's estate.
Primary and Contingent Beneficiaries are as named in the application,
unless changed by the Owner. The Beneficiaries may be changed by the Owner
at any time during the Insured's life. To change a Beneficiary, a written
request must be made to the Company. The Company may require the Policy to
record the change. The request will take effect when signed, subject to any
action the Company takes before receiving it.
One or more irrevocable Beneficiaries may be named. An irrevocable
Beneficiary is one whose rights cannot be reduced or destroyed without his or
her consent.
If a Beneficiary is a minor, the Company will make payment to the
guardian of his or her estate. The Company may require proof of age of any
Beneficiary.
Proceeds payable to a Beneficiary will be free from the claims of
creditors, to the extent allowed by law.
DELAY OF PAYMENTS
The Company will generally pay Policy proceeds within seven business days
of receipt of a completed request for such payment. The Company reserves the
right to suspend or postpone any type of payment from the Variable Account for
any period when:
a. the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings);
b. trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
c. an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of securities held
in the Variable Account is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably
practicable to determine the value of the Variable Account's net assets; or
d. the Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits delay
for the protection of Owners.
The applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission will
govern as to whether the conditions described in (b) and (c) exist.
The insurance laws of some states require that the Company reserve the
right to defer making payment of Cash Surrender Values and loans from the
Fixed Account for up to six months from the date of request. In such states
the Company provides a Policy reserving this right.

TAX STATUS
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS BASED UPON THE COMPANY'S
UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW APPLICABLE TO LIFE INSURANCE
IN GENERAL. THE COMPANY CANNOT PREDICT THE PROBABILITY THAT ANY CHANGES IN
SUCH LAWS WILL BE MADE. PURCHASERS ARE CAUTIONED TO SEEK COMPETENT TAX ADVICE
REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CHANGES. SECTION 7702 OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "CODE"), DEFINES THE TERM "LIFE
INSURANCE CONTRACT" FOR PURPOSES OF THE CODE. THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT THE
POLICIES TO BE ISSUED WILL QUALIFY AS "LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS" UNDER SECTION
7702. THE COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE TAX STATUS OF THE POLICIES.
PURCHASERS BEAR THE COMPLETE RISK THAT THE POLICIES MAY NOT BE TREATED AS
"LIFE INSURANCE" UNDER FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS. PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT
THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS. IT SHOULD BE FURTHER UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FOLLOWING
DISCUSSION IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND THAT SPECIAL RULES NOT DESCRIBED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS MAY BE APPLICABLE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS.
INTRODUCTION
The discussion contained herein is general in nature and is not intended
as tax advice. Each person concerned should consult a competent tax adviser.
No attempt is made to consider any applicable state or other tax laws.
Moreover, the discussion herein is based upon the Company's understanding of
current federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. No
representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of those
current federal income tax laws or of the current interpretations by the
Internal Revenue Service.
The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For
federal income tax purposes, the Variable Account is not a separate entity
from the Company and its operations form a part of the Company.
DIVERSIFICATION
Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain diversification standards on
the underlying assets of variable life insurance policies. The Code provides
that a variable life insurance policy will not be treated as life insurance
for any period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments are not,
in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States Treasury
Department ("Treasury Department"), adequately diversified. Disqualification
of the Policy as a life insurance contract would result in the imposition of
federal income tax on the Owner with respect to earnings allocable to the
Policy prior to the receipt of payments under the Policy. The Code contains a
safe harbor provision which provides that life insurance policies such as the
Policies meet the diversification requirements if, as of the close of each
quarter, the underlying assets meet the diversification standards for a
regulated investment company and no more than fifty-five (55%) percent of the
total assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. Government securities and
securities of other regulated investment companies. There is an exception for
securities issued by the U.S. Treasury in connection with variable life
insurance policies.
On March 2, 1989, the Treasury Department issued Regulations (Treas. Reg.
Section 1.817-5), which establish diversification requirements for the
investment portfolios underlying variable contracts such as the Policies. The
Regulations amplify the diversification requirements for variable contracts
set forth in the Code and provide an alternative to the safe harbor provision
described above. Under the Regulations, an investment portfolio will be deemed
adequately diversified if: (i) no more than 55% of the value of the total
assets of the portfolio is represented by any one investment; (ii) no more
than 70% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by
any two investments; (iii) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets
of the portfolio is represented by any three investments; and (iv) no more
than 90% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by
any four investments. For purposes of these Regulations, all securities of the
same issuer are treated as a single investment.
The Code further provides that, for purposes of determining whether or
not the diversification standards imposed on the underlying assets of variable
contracts by Section 817(h) of the Code have been met, "each United States
government agency or instrumentality shall be treated as a separate issuer".
The Company intends that each Fund of the Trust underlying the Policies
will be managed by the Managers for the Trust in such a manner as to comply
with these diversification requirements.
The Treasury Department has indicated that the diversification
Regulations do not provide guidance regarding the circumstances in which Owner
control of the investments of the Variable Account will cause the Owner to be
treated as the owner of the assets of the Variable Account, thereby resulting
in the loss of favorable tax treatment for the Policy. At this time it cannot
be determined whether additional guidance will be provided and what standards
may be contained in such guidance.
The amount of Owner control which may be exercised under the Policy is
different in some respects from the situations addressed in published rulings
issued by the Internal Revenue Service in which it was held that the policy
owner was not the owner of the assets of the separate account. It is unknown
whether these differences, such as the Owner's ability to transfer among
investment choices or the number and type of investment choices available,
would cause the Owner to be considered as the owner of the assets of the
Variable Account.
In the event any forthcoming guidance or ruling is considered to set
forth a new position, such guidance or ruling will generally be applied only
prospectively. However, if such ruling or guidance was not considered to set
forth a new position, it may be applied retroactively resulting in the Owner
being retroactively determined to be the owner of the assets of the Variable
Account.
Due to the uncertainty in this area, the Company reserves the right to
modify the Policy in an attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.
TAX TREATMENT OF THE POLICY
The Policy has been designed to comply with the definition of life
insurance contained in Section 7702 of the Code. Although some interim
guidance has been provided and proposed regulations have been issued, final
regulations have not been adopted. Section 7702 of the Code requires the use
of reasonable mortality and other expense charges. In establishing these
charges, the Company has relied on the interim guidance provided in IRS Notice
88-128 and proposed regulations issued on July 5, 1991. Currently, there is
even less guidance as to a Policy issued on a substandard risk basis and thus
it is even less clear whether a Policy issued on such basis would meet the
requirements of Section 7702 of the Code.
While the Company has attempted to comply with Section 7702, the law in
this area is very complex and unclear. There is a risk, therefore, that the
Internal Revenue Service will not concur with the Company's interpretations of
Section 7702 that were made in determining such compliance. In the event the
Policy is determined not to so comply, it would not qualify for the favorable
tax treatment usually accorded life insurance policies. Owners should consult
their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of purchasing the
Policy.
POLICY PROCEEDS
The tax treatment accorded to loan proceeds and/or surrender payments
from the Policies will depend on whether the Policy is considered to be a
Modified Endowment Contract. (See "Tax Treatment of Loans and Surrenders".)
Otherwise, the Company believes that the Policy should receive the same
federal income tax treatment as any other type of life insurance. As such, the
death benefit thereunder is excludable from the gross income of the
Beneficiary under Section 101(a) of the Code. Also, the Owner is not deemed to
be in constructive receipt of the Policy Account or Net Cash Value, including
increments thereon, under a Policy until there is a distribution of such
amounts.
Federal, state and local estate, inheritance and other tax consequences
of ownership, or receipt of Policy proceeds, depend on the circumstances of
each Owner or Beneficiary.
TAX TREATMENT OF LOANS AND SURRENDERS
Section 7702A of the Code sets forth the rules for determining when a
life insurance policy will be deemed to be a Modified Endowment Contract. A
Modified Endowment Contract is a contract which is entered into or materially
changed on or after June 21, 1988 and fails to meet the 7-pay test. A Policy
fails to meet the 7-pay test when the cumulative amount paid under the Policy
at any time during the first 7 Policy Years exceeds the sum of the net level
premiums which would have been paid on or before such time if the Policy
provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment of seven (7) level
annual premiums. A material change would include any increase in the future
benefits or addition of qualified additional benefits provided under a policy
unless the increase is attributable to: (1) the payment of premiums necessary
to fund the lowest death benefit and qualified additional benefits payable in
the first seven policy years; or (2) the crediting of interest or other
earnings (including policyholder dividends) with respect to such premiums.
Furthermore, any Policy received in exchange for a Policy classified as a
Modified Endowment Contract will be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract
regardless of whether it meets the 7- pay test. The status of an exchange of a
contract issued before June 21, 1988 is unclear, however, the Internal Revenue
Service has taken the position in a Private Letter Ruling that a contract
received in an exchange on or after June 21, 1988 will be considered as
entered into as of the date of the exchange and therefore subject to Section
7702A.
Due to the flexible premium nature of the Policy, the determination of
whether it qualifies for treatment as a Modified Endowment Contract depends
on the individual circumstances of each Policy.
If the Policy is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, then
surrenders and/or loan proceeds are taxable to the extent of income in the
Policy. Such distributions are deemed to be on a last-in, first-out basis,
which means the taxable income is distributed first. Loan proceeds and/or
surrender payments may also be subject to an additional 10% federal income tax
penalty applied to the income portion of such distribution. The penalty shall
not apply, however, to any distributions: (1) made on or after the date on
which the taxpayer reaches age 5912; (2) which is attributable to the taxpayer
becoming disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); or (3)
which is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not
less frequently than annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the
taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of such taxpayer and
his beneficiary.
If a Policy is not classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, then any
surrenders shall be treated first as a recovery of the investment in the
Policy which would not be received as taxable income. However, if a
distribution is the result of a reduction in benefits under the Policy within
the first fifteen years after the Policy is issued in order to comply with
Section 7702, such distribution will, under rules set forth in Section 7702,
be taxed as ordinary income to the extent of income in the Policy.
Any loans from a Policy which is not classified as a Modified Endowment
Contract, will be treated as indebtedness of the Owner and not a distribution.
Personal interest payable on a loan under a Policy owned by an individual
is generally not deductible. Furthermore, no deduction will be allowed for
interest on loans under Policies covering the life of any employee or officer
of the taxpayer or any person financially interested in the business carried
on by the taxpayer to the extent the indebtedness for such employee, officer
or financially interested person exceeds $50,000. The deductibility of
interest payable on Policy loans may be subject to further rules and
limitations under Sections 163 and 264 of the Code.
Policy Owners should seek competent tax advice on the tax consequences of
taking loans, distributions or surrendering any Policy.
MULTIPLE POLICIES
The Code further provides that multiple Modified Endowment Contracts that
are issued within a calendar year period to the same owner by one company or
its affiliates are treated as one Modified Endowment Contract for purposes of
determining the taxable portion of any loans or distributions. Such treatment
may result in adverse tax consequences including more rapid taxation of the
loans or distributed amounts from such combination of contracts. Policy Owners
should consult a tax adviser prior to purchasing more than one Modified
Endowment Contract in any calendar year period.
TAX TREATMENT OF ASSIGNMENTS
An assignment of a Policy may be a taxable event. Policy Owners should
therefore consult competent tax advisers should they wish to assign their
Policies.
QUALIFIED PLANS
The Policies may be used in conjunction with certain Qualified Plans.
Because the rules governing such use are complex, a purchaser should not do so
until he has consulted a competent Qualified Plans consultant.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT VOTING RIGHTS
In accordance with its view of present applicable law, the Company will
vote the shares of the Trust held in the Variable Account at special meetings
of the shareholders of the Trust in accordance with instructions received from
Owners (or Beneficiaries if applicable) having the voting interest in the
Variable Account. The Company will vote shares for which it has not received
instructions in the same proportion as it votes shares for which it has
received instructions. The Company will vote shares it owns in the same
proportion as it votes shares for which it has received instructions. The
Trust does not hold regular meetings of shareholders.
If the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any regulation thereunder should
be amended or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a
result the Company determines that it is permitted to vote the shares of the
Trust in its own right, it may elect to do so.
The voting interests of the Owner (or the Beneficiary if applicable) in
the Trust will be determined as follows: Owners may cast one vote for each
$100 of Account Value of the Policy allocated to the Sub-Account on the record
date for the shareholder meeting of the Trust. Fractional votes are counted.
The number of shares which a person has a right to vote will be
determined as of the date to be chosen by the Company not more than sixty
(60) days prior to the meeting of the Trust. Voting instructions will be
solicited by written communication at least fourteen (14) days prior to such
meeting.
Each Owner (or Beneficiary if applicable) having the voting interest in
the Variable Account will receive periodic reports relating to the Trust in
which he or she has an interest, proxy material and a form with which to give
such voting instructions with respect to the proportion of the shares held in
the Variable Account corresponding to his or her interest in the Variable
Account.
DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Company may, when required to do so by state insurance authorities,
vote shares of the Trust without regard to instructions from Owners if such
instructions would require such shares to be voted to cause any Fund of the
Trust to make (or refrain from making) investments which would result in
changes in the sub-classification or investment objectives of the Trust or a
Fund. The Company may also disapprove changes in the investment policy
initiated by the Owners or trustees of the Trust, if such disapproval is
reasonable and is based on a good faith determination by the Company that the
change would violate state or federal law or the change would not be
consistent with the investment objectives of the Trust or a Fund or which
varies from the general quality and nature of investments and investment
techniques used by other funds with similar investment objectives underlying
other separate accounts of the Company or of an affiliated life insurance
company. In the event the Company does disregard voting instructions, a
summary of this action and the reasons for such action will be included in the
next semi - annual report to Owners.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and
Policyholders of Allianz Life Variable Account A:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
sub-accounts of Allianz Life Variable Account A as of December 31, 1995, and
the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the
years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Variable Account's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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.
Investment securities held in custody for the benefit of the Variable Account
were confirmed to us by the Franklin Valuemark Funds. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets and liabilities of the sub-accounts of
Allianz Life Variable Account A at December 31, 1995, and the results of their
operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the
three-year period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

ALLIANZ LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT A
of
ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION
Allianz Life Variable Account A (Variable Account) is a segregated investment
account of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life)
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment
trust pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as
amended). The Variable Account was established on May 31, 1985 and commenced
operations September 8, 1987. Accordingly, it is an accounting entity wherein
all segregated account transactions are reflected.
The Variable Account's assets are the property of Allianz Life and are held
for the benefit of the owners and other persons entitled to payments under
variable life policies issued through the Variable Account and underwritten by
Allianz Life. The assets of the Variable Account, equal to the reserves and
other liabilities of the Variable Account, are not chargeable with liabilities
that arise from any other business which Allianz Life may conduct.
The Variable Account's sub-accounts may invest, at net asset values, in one or
more of the funds of the Franklin Valuemark Funds (FVF), managed by Franklin
Advisers, Inc., in accordance with the selection made by the policy owner.
Not all funds are available as investment options for the products which
comprise the Variable Account.
Certain officers and trustees of the FVF are also officers and/or directors of
Franklin Advisers, Inc. and/or Allianz Life.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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
Investments of the Variable Account are valued daily at market value using net
asset values provided by Franklin Advisers, Inc.
Realized investment gains include realized gain distributions received from
the respective funds and gains on the sale of fund shares as determined by the
average cost method.
Realized gain distributions are reinvested in the respective funds. Dividend
distributions received from the FVF are reinvested in additional shares of the
FVF and are recorded as income to the Variable Account on the ex-dividend
date.
A Fixed Account investment option is available to variable universal life
policy owners. This account is comprised of equity and fixed income
investments which are part of the general assets of Allianz Life. The
liabilities of the Fixed Account are part of the general obligations of
Allianz Life and are not included in the Variable Account. The guaranteed
minimum rate of return on the Fixed Account is 3.5%.
The Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund, Templeton Global Growth Fund and
Fixed Account were added as available investment options on July 1, 1994. The
Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund and Small Cap Fund were added as
available investment options on May 1, 1995 and November 1, 1995,
respectively. The Small Cap Fund had no investment activity during 1995. The
Zero Coupon - 1995 Fund matured and was closed on December 15, 1995.
In April 1995, the Equity Growth Fund name was changed to Growth and Income
Fund.
EXPENSES
ASSET BASED EXPENSES
A mortality and expense risk charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a
daily basis equal, on an annual basis, to .60% of the daily net assets of the
Variable Account.
An administrative charge is deducted from the Variable Account on a daily
basis equal, on an annual basis, to .15% of the daily net assets of the
Variable Account.
CONTRACT BASED EXPENSES
A cost of insurance charge is deducted against each policy by liquidating
units. The amount of the charge is based upon age, sex, rate class and net
amount at risk (death benefit less total cash surrender value). Total cost of
insurance charges paid by the policy owners for the years ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993 were $581,193, $123,231 and $46,026, respectively.
A deferred issue charge is deducted annually, at the end of the policy year,
from each single premium variable life policy for the first ten policy years
by liquidating units. The amount of the charge is 7% of the single premium
consisting of 2.5% for premium taxes, 4% for sales charge and .5% for policy
issue charge (in the State of California, 2.35%, 4.15% and .5%, respectively).
If the policy is surrendered before the full amount is collected, the
uncollected portion of this charge is deducted from the account value. Total
deferred issue charges paid by the policy owners for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $28,613, $32,516 and $34,016, respectively.
A policy charge is deducted on each monthly anniversary date from each
variable universal life policy by liquidating units. The amount of the charge
is equal to 2.5% of each premium payment for premium taxes plus $20 per month
for the first policy year and $9 per month guaranteed thereafter. Currently,
Allianz Life has agreed to voluntarily limit the charge to $5 per month after
the first policy year. Total policy charges paid by the policy owners for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $292,695 and $64,030,
respectively. There were no variable universal life policies issued during
the year ended December 31, 1993.
Twelve free transfers are permitted each contract year. Thereafter, the fee
is the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount transferred. No transfer charges
were paid by the policy owners during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. Transfers to the Fixed Account during the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $21,713 and $3,609, respectively.
The cost of insurance, deferred issue, policy and transfer charges paid are
reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as other transactions.
3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
The sub-account purchases of fund shares, including reinvestment of dividend
distributions, were as follows during the year ended December 31, 1995:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Allianz Life
Insurance Company of North America (a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz of
America, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and changes in
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
In 1994, as discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. In 1993, as discussed in notes 1,
8 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions and No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (the Company) is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Allianz of America, Inc. (AZOA), a majority-owned
subsidiary of Allianz A.G. Holding, a Federal Republic of Germany company.
The Company is a life insurance company which is licensed to sell both group
and individual life, annuity and accident and health policies in the United
States, Canada and several U.S. territories. Based on 1995 gross premium
volume, 13%, 71% and 16% of the Company's business is life, annuity and
accident and health, respectively. The Company's primary distribution
channels are through strategic alliances with other insurance companies and
third party marketing organizations. The Company has a significant
relationship as of December 31, 1995 with a mutual fund company and its
broker/dealer network related to sales of its variable life and variable
annuity products and another significant administration, marketing and
reinsurance relationship with an unrelated insurance company.
Following is a summary of the significant accounting policies reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which vary in certain respects
from accounting rules prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory
authorities. The accounts of the Company's major subsidiaries, Preferred Life
Insurance Company of New York and Canadian American Financial Corporation and
other less significant subsidiaries have been consolidated. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain amounts as previously reported have been reclassified to be consistent
with the current year's presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported
assets and liabilities including reporting or disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary
significantly from management's estimates.
RECOGNITION OF TRADITIONAL LIFE, GROUP LIFE AND GROUP ACCIDENT AND HEALTH
REVENUE
Traditional life products include products with guaranteed premiums and
benefits and consist principally of whole life and term insurance policies,
limited payment contracts and certain annuity products with life
contingencies.
Premiums on traditional life and group life products are recognized as income
when due. Group accident and health premiums are recognized as earned on a pro
rata basis over the risk coverage periods. Benefits and expenses for
traditional and group products are matched with earned premiums so that
profits are recognized over the premium paying periods of the contracts. This
matching is accomplished by establishing provisions for future policy benefits
and policy and contract claims, and deferring and amortizing related policy
acquisition costs.
<PAGE>
RECOGNITION OF NONTRADITIONAL AND VARIABLE LIFE AND ANNUITY REVENUE
Nontraditional and variable life insurance and interest sensitive contracts
that have significant mortality or morbidity risk are accounted for in
accordance with the retrospective deposit method. Interest sensitive
contracts that do not have significant mortality or morbidity risk are
accounted for in a manner consistent with interest bearing financial
instruments. For both types of contracts, premium receipts are reported as
deposits to the contractholder's account while revenues consist of amounts
assessed against contractholders including surrender charges and earned
administrative service fees. Mortality or morbidity charges are also
accounted for as revenue on those contracts containing mortality or morbidity
risk. Benefits consist of interest credited to contractholder's accounts and
claims or benefits incurred in excess of the contractholder's balance.
DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS
Acquisition costs, consisting of commissions and other costs which vary with
and are primarily related to production of new business, are deferred. For
traditional life and group life products, such costs are amortized over the
revenue-producing period of the related policies using the same actuarial
assumptions used in computing future policy benefit reserves. Acquisition
costs for accident and health insurance policies are deferred and amortized
over the lives of the policies in the same manner as premiums are earned. For
interest sensitive products, acquisition costs are amortized in relation to
the present value of expected future gross profits from investment margins and
mortality, morbidity and expense charges. Deferred acquisition costs amortized
during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $117,782, $108,676 and $72,431, respectively.
FUTURE POLICY BENEFIT RESERVES
Future policy benefit reserves on traditional life products are computed by
the net level premium method based upon estimated future investment yield,
mortality and withdrawal assumptions, commensurate with the Company's
experience, modified as necessary to reflect anticipated trends, including
possible unfavorable deviations. Most life reserve interest assumptions are
graded from 9% to 5.5%.
Future policy benefit reserves for interest sensitive products are generally
carried at accumulated contract values. Reserves on some deferred annuity
contracts are computed based on contractholder cash value accumulations,
adjusted for mortality, withdrawal and interest margin assumptions.
Fair values of investment contracts, which include deferred annuities and
other annuities without significant mortality risk, were determined by testing
amounts payable on demand against discounted cash flows using interest rates
commensurate with the risks involved. Fair values are based on the amount
payable on demand at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIMS
Policy and contract claims represent an estimate of claims and claim
adjustment expenses on accident and health and life insurance policies that
have been reported but not yet paid and incurred but not yet reported as of
December 31.
REINSURANCE
Insurance liabilities are reported before the effects of reinsurance. Amounts
paid or deemed to have been paid for claims covered by reinsurance contracts
are recorded as reinsurance receivable. Reinsurance receivables are recognized
in a manner consistent with the liabilities related to the underlying
reinsured contracts.
<PAGE>
INVESTMENTS
On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities which addresses the accounting and reporting for investments
in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all
investments in debt securities. Those investments are classified in one of
three categories. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent
and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity
securities" and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities bought
and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are
classified as "trading securities" and reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not
classified as either "held-to-maturity securities" or "trading securities" are
classified as "available-for-sale securities" and reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity, net of deferred taxes. SFAS No. 115 did not permit retroactive
application of its provisions. The Company classified the majority of its
investment portfolio as "available-for-sale securities" with a limited number
of securities classified as "held-to-maturity" at January 1, 1994.
At December 31, 1995, the Company transferred all of its securities with an
amortized cost of $83,357 classified as "held-to-maturity' to the
"available-for-sale" classifications as provided in the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Special Report on the implementation of SFAS No. 115.
The effect of this transfer was an increase in stockholder's equity of $1,789.
All of the Company's investment portfolio is classified as
"available-for-sale" at December 31, 1995.
Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates
market. Policy loans are reflected at their unpaid principal balances.
Mortgage loans are reflected at unpaid principal balances adjusted for premium
and discount amortization and an allowance for uncollectible balances. During
1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures. SFAS No. 114 addresses accounting by
creditors for impairment of certain loans. It requires that impaired loans
within the scope of the Statement be measured based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate
or, alternatively, at the loan's observable market price of the fair value of
supporting collateral. The Company analyzes loan impairment at least once a
year when assessing the adequacy of the allowance for possible credit losses.
SFAS No. 118 permits existing income recognition practices to continue. The
Company does not accrue interest on impaired loans and accounts for interest
income on a cash basis. The adoption of these Statements did not have a
material impact on the Company's net income or financial position.
Investments in real estate are reflected at the lower of cost or market value.
Real estate occupied by the Company is reflected at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Investments in real estate, exclusive of land, are being
depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from
3 to 30 years.
Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification
method.
As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, investments with a carrying value of $37,879
and $44,337, respectively, were held on deposit with various insurance
departments as required by statutory regulations.
The fair values of invested assets, excluding investments in real estate, are
deemed by management to approximate their estimated market values. The fair
value of mortgage loans has been calculated using discounted cash flows and is
based on pertinent information available to management as of year end. Policy
loan balances which are supported by the underlying cash value of the policies
approximate fair value. Changes in market conditions subsequent to year end
<PAGE>
may cause estimates of fair values to differ from the amounts presented
herein.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate accounts represent funds for which investment income and investment
gains and losses accrue directly to the policyholders and contractholders.
Each account has specific investment objectives and the assets are carried at
market value. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not
subject to claims which arise out of any other business of the Company.
Fair values of separate accounts assets were determined using the market value
of the investments held in segregated fund accounts. Fair values of separate
accounts liabilities were determined using the cash surrender values of the
policyholder's and contractholder's account.
RECEIVABLES
Receivable balances approximate estimated fair values. This is based on
pertinent information available to management as of year end including the
financial condition and credit worthiness of the parties underlying the
receivables. Changes in market conditions subsequent to year end may cause
estimates of fair values to differ from the amounts presented herein.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
The impact of implementation of SFAS No. 115 in 1994 was an increase in equity
of $74,866 at January 1, 1994.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED
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
impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are
expected to be disposed of by a company. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 121
in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not
believe the effect of adoption will be material.

(2) BUSINESS COMBINATION
On May 31, 1993, the Company acquired the majority of the assets and
liabilities of Fidelity Union Life Insurance Company (FULICO), a wholly owned
subsidiary of AZOA, through an assumption reinsurance arrangement. FULICO
remained in existence retaining only its corporate charter and those assets
necessary to maintain its charter and licenses to conduct life insurance and
annuity business until it was sold in 1994.
The Company accounted for this transaction as an "as-if pooling of interests"
involving the combination of entities under the common control of AZOA.
Accordingly, all financial data for periods prior to May 31, 1993 were
restated to include the operations of FULICO and all intercompany transactions
were eliminated.

In 1995, in conjunction with an expanded marketing agreement, the Company
provided an unrelated insurance company with $30 million in exchange for a
fifteen year convertible debenture paying 5% interest for the first five years
with the interest rate reset annually thereafter at the one-year LIBOR plus
1%. If converted, the Company would obtain approximately 10% equity ownership
in the unrelated company. The Company has no intention of converting the
debenture in the near term.
During 1995 and 1994, the Company entered into mortgage backed security
reverse repurchase transactions ("dollar rolls") with certain securities
dealers. Under this program, the Company sells certain securities for
delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same
dealer to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities on a specified
future date. The Company gives up the right to receive principal and interest
on the securities sold. As of December 31, 1995 there were no outstanding
amounts under the Company's dollar roll program. As of December 31, 1994,
mortgage backed securities underlying the agreements were carried at a market
value of $58,174 and other liabilities included $58,150 for funds received
under these agreements. Average balances outstanding were $67,735 and $66,110
and weighted average interest rates were 7.4% and 6.5% during 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
During 1995 and 1994 the Company participated in a securities lending program
that is administered by Allianz Investment Corporation (AIC), an affiliated
company. Under this program, the Company loans U.S. Treasury Notes to
qualified third parties. The Company obtains collateral for the loan equal to
102 percent of the estimated market value and accrued interest on the loaned
securities and receives a portion of the interest earned on the collateral.
In addition, the Company maintains full ownership rights to the securities
loaned, including investment income and has the ability to sell the securities
while they are on loan with the consent of the borrower. There were no
securities on loan at December 31, 1995. As of December 31, 1994, the
estimated market value of the loaned securities was $110,063, collateralized
by investments in FNMA securities.

(6) ACCIDENT AND HEALTH CLAIMS RESERVES
Accident and health claims reserves are based on long-range projections
subject to uncertainty. Uncertainty regarding reserves of a given accident
year is gradually reduced as new information emerges each succeeding year,
thereby allowing more reliable re-evaluations of such reserves. While
management believes that reserves as of December 31, 1995 are adequate,
uncertainties in the reserving process could cause such reserves to develop
favorably or unfavorably in the near term as new or additional information
emerges. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in the operating results
of the periods in which they are made. Movements in reserves which are small
relative to the amount of such reserves could significantly impact future
reported earnings of the Company.
<TABLE>

Activity in the accident and health claims reserves, exclusive of long term
care, hospital indemnity and AIDS reserves of $18,858, $11,149 and $8,742 in

There were no significant adjustments to accident and health claim liabilities
resulting from changes in estimates of benefits related to prior years.
<PAGE>
(7) REINSURANCE
In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to
loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding
risks under excess coverage and coinsurance contracts. The Company retains a
maximum of $1 million coverage per individual life.
Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to
policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result
in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts
deemed uncollectible. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its
reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk to minimize its exposure
to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies.
Included in reinsurance receivables at December 31, 1995 are $873,724, $67,819
and $148,319 recoverable from insurers who, as of December 31, 1995, were
rated A+, A+ and B++, respectively by Best's Insurance Reports. A contingent
liability exists to the extent that the Company's reinsurers are unable to
meet their contractual obligations. Management is of the opinion that no
liability will accrue to the Company with respect to this contingency.

Although realization is not assured, the Company believes it is not necessary
to establish a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset as it is more
likely than not the deferred tax asset will be realized principally through
future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable
income. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however,
could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future reversals of existing
taxable temporary differences and future taxable income are reduced.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had no tax loss carryforwards or
alternative minimum tax credits.
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with AZOA and all
of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated tax allocation agreement
stipulates that each company participating in the return will bear its share
of the tax liability pursuant to United States Treasury Department
regulations. The Company and each of its insurance subsidiaries generally
will be paid for the tax benefit on their losses, and any other tax
attributes, to the extent they could have obtained a benefit against their
<PAGE>
post-1990 separate return taxable income or tax. Income taxes paid by the
Company were $14,865, $15,162 and $28,465 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. At December 31, 1995 and 1994 the Company has a tax recoverable
from AZOA of $3,257 and $5,095 and a recoverable from Revenue Canada Taxation
of $690 and a payable to Revenue Canada Taxation of $1,301, respectively.
(9) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In November 1995, the Company purchased the 400 non-voting common shares in
its subsidiary, Canadian American Financial Corporation from AZOA for $7,903.
The acquisition of the shares increased the Company's equity ownership in both

As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, Allianz Real Estate (AzRE), a wholly owned
subsidiary of AZOA, owned 100% of the stock or was a limited partner of
certain entities whose assets include mortgage loans issued by the Company
amounting to $6,245 and $12,100, respectively. Included in the mortgage loans
are properties originally foreclosed upon by the Company of which the balances
at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are $1,650 and $4,575, respectively.

respectively.
In June 1994, the Company authorized 200 million shares of preferred stock
with a par value of $1 per share. This preferred stock is issuable in series
with the number of shares, redemption rights and dividend rate designated by
the Board of Directors for each series. Dividends are cumulative at a rate
reflective of prevailing market conditions at time of issue and are payable
semiannually. Dividend payments are restricted by provisions in State of
Minnesota statutes. In June 1994, the Company issued 25 millions shares of
Series A preferred stock with a dividend rate of 6.4% to AZOA for $25,000. In
December 1994, the Company issued 15 millions shares of Series B preferred
stock with a dividend rate of 6.95% to AZOA for $15,000. In December 1995,
the Company redeemed and canceled the 15 million shares of Series B preferred
stock issued to AZOA. There are currently 25 million shares of Series A
preferred stock issued and outstanding.
In 1995 and 1994, AZOA contributed additional capital to the Company of $594
and $5,190, respectively.
(10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company participates in the Allianz Primary Retirement Plan (Primary
Retirement Plan), a defined contribution plan. The Company makes
contributions to a money purchase pension plan on behalf of eligible
participants. All employees, excluding agents, are eligible to participate in
the Primary Retirement Plan after two years of service. The contributions are
based on a percentage of the participant's salary with the participants being
100% vested upon eligibility. It is the Company's policy to fund the plan
costs as accrued. Total pension contributions were $860, $918 and $1,363 in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
<PAGE>
The Company participates in the Allianz Asset Accumulation Plan (Allianz
Plan), a defined contribution plan sponsored by AZOA. Under the Allianz Plan
provisions, the Company will match from 50% to 100% of eligible employees'
contributions up to a maximum of 6% of a participant's compensation. The
total Company match for 1995, 1994 and 1993 Plan participants was 100%. All
employees, excluding agents, are eligible to participate after one year of
service and are fully vested in the Company's matching contribution after
three years of service. The Allianz Plan will accept participants' pretax or
after-tax contributions up to 15% of the participant's compensation. It is the
Company's policy to fund the Allianz Plan costs as accrued. The Company has
accrued $1,188, $1,266 and $1,270 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, toward
planned contributions.
The Company sponsors an asset accumulation plan for field agents. Under the
Plan provisions, the Company will match 100% of eligible agents' contributions
up to a maximum of 3% of a participant's compensation. The Plan accepts
participant's pretax or after tax contributions up to 10% of participant's
compensation. It is the Company's policy to fund the Plan costs as accrued.
In 1995, the Company discontinued support of its individual agency field force
and suspended contributions to the Plan as of January 1, 1996. Also during
1995, participation in the Plan decreased significantly resulting in a partial
plan termination whereby participants as of January 1, 1995 became fully
vested in the Plan. The Company has no intention to fully terminate the Plan
in the near term. Total Company contributions to the Plan were $118, $386 and
$319 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, effective January 1, 1993 which requires
benefits paid to retirees, other than pension benefits, to be accrued. The
transition obligation associated with this adoption was $4,006, which is net
of a $2,064 tax benefit. The Company's current plan obligation is $5,532 and
the liability is included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying balance
sheet.
(11) STATUTORY FINANCIAL DATA AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
Statutory accounting is directed toward insurer solvency and protection of
policyholders. Accordingly, certain items recorded in financial statements
prepared under GAAP are excluded in determining statutory policyholders'
surplus. These items include, among other, deferred acquisition costs,
furniture and fixtures, accident and health premiums receivable which are more
than 90 days past due, deferred taxes and undeclared dividends to
policyholders. Additionally, future life policy and annuity benefit reserves
calculated for statutory accounting do not include provisions for withdrawals.

The Company is required to meet minimum statutory capital and surplus
requirements. The Company's statutory capital and surplus as of December 31,
1995 and 1994 was in compliance with these requirements. The maximum amount
of dividends which can be paid by Minnesota insurance companies to
stockholders without prior approval of the Commissioner of Commerce is subject
to restrictions relating to statutory earned surplus, also known as unassigned
funds. Unassigned funds are determined in accordance with the accounting
procedures and practices governing preparation of the statutory annual
statement, minus 25% of earned surplus attributable to unrealized capital
gains. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the Company may declare and pay
from its surplus, cash dividends of not more than the greater of 10% of its
beginning of the year statutory surplus in any year, or the net gain from
operations of the insurer, not including realized gains, for the 12-month
period ending the 31st day of the next preceding year. In 1995 and 1994,
respectively, the Company paid dividends on preferred stock in the amount of
$2,651 and $413, respectively to AZOA. Dividends of $23,433 could be paid in
1996 without prior approval of the Commissioner of Commerce.
REGULATORY RISK BASED CAPITAL
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
An insurance enterprise's state of domicile imposes minimum risk-based capital
requirements that were developed by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC). The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based
capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial
balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk.
Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of an enterprise's regulatory
total adjusted capital to its authorized control level risk-based capital, as
defined by the NAIC. Enterprises below specific triggerpoints or ratios are
classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective
action. The levels and ratios are as follows:
Ratio of total adjusted capital to
authorized control level risk-based
Regulatory Event Capital (less than or equal to)
- ------------------------ ------------------------------------
<S> <C>
Company action level 2 (or 2.5 with negative trends)
Regulatory action level 1.5
Authorized control level 1
Mandatory control level 0.7
</TABLE>
The Company met the minimum risk-based capital requirements for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.
<PAGE>
PERMITTED STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
The Company is required to file annual statements with insurance regulatory
authorities which are prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted
by such authorities. Currently, prescribed statutory accounting practices
include state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules, as well as
a variety of publications of the NAIC. Permitted statutory accounting
practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such
practices differ from state to state, may differ from company to company
within a state, and may change in the future. The NAIC currently has a
project underway to codify statutory accounting practices, the result of which
is expected to constitute the only source of "prescribed" statutory accounting
practices. Accordingly, that project will likely change the definition of
what comprises prescribed versus permitted statutory accounting practices, and
may result in changes to existing accounting policies insurance enterprises
use to prepare their statutory financial statements. The Company does not
currently use permitted statutory accounting practices which have a
significant impact on its statutory financial statements.
(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various pending or threatened
legal proceedings arising from the conduct of their business. In the opinion
of management, the ultimate resolution of such litigation will not have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
The Company is contingently liable for possible future assessments under
regulatory requirements pertaining to insolvencies and impairments of
unaffiliated insurance companies. Provision has been made for assessments
currently received and assessments anticipated for known insolvencies.
(13) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
The net assets of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S.
dollars using exchange rates in effect at each year end. Translation adjustments
arising from differences in exchange rates from period to period are included in
the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment reported as a separate
component of stockholder's equity. An analysis of this account for the respective

APPENDIX A
ILLUSTRATION OF POLICY VALUES
The following tables illustrate how Policy Account values, Cash Values and
death benefits of a Policy change with the investment experience of the
Sub-Accounts. The illustrations are hypothetical and may not be used to
project or predict investment results. The Policy Account values, Cash Values
and death benefits in the tables take into account all charges and deductions
against the Policy. These tables assume that the cost of insurance rates for
the Policy are based on the current and guaranteed rates appropriate to the
class indicated. These tables also assume that a level annual premium of
$1,200 was paid. These tables all assume that the Insured is in the most
favorable male risk status, i.e., Non-Smoker. For Insureds who are classified
as Smoker or less favorable risk status, the cost of insurance will be greater
and thus Policy values will be less given the same assumed hypothetical gross
annual investment rates of return. The cost of insurance will be less and
thus Policy values will be greater for female Insureds of comparable risk
status. Some states require that the Policies contain tables based upon
unisex rates.
Gross investment returns of 0%, 6% and 12% are assumed to be level for all
years shown. The values would be different if the rates of return averaged
0%, 6% and 12% over the period of years but fluctuated above and below those
averages during individual years.
The values shown reflect the fact that the net investment return of the
Sub-Accounts is lower than the gross investment return on the assets held in
the Funds because of the charges levied against the Sub-Accounts. The daily
investment advisory fee is assumed to be equivalent to an annual rate of 0.69%
of the net assets of the Funds of the Trust (which is the average of the
investment advisory fees assessed the Trust in 1995 weighted by Sub-Account
value as of 12/31/95). The values also assume that each Fund of the Trust
will incur expenses annually which are assumed to be 0.06% of the average net
assets of the Fund. This is the average in 1995 weighted by Sub-Account value
as of 12/31/95. The Sub-Account will be assessed for mortality and expense
risks at a guaranteed annual rate not to exceed 0.90% (the current annual rate
is 0.60%) of the average daily net assets of the Sub-Account and for
administrative expenses at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net
assets of the Sub-Account. After taking these expenses and charges into
consideration, the illustrated gross annual investment rates of 0%, 6% and 12%
are equivalent to net rates of -1.49%, 4.42% and 10.33%.
The Company deducts an insurance risk premium for a Policy Month from the
Policy Account values. The insurance risk premium rate is based on the sex
(where permitted by state law), attained age and rate class of the Insured.
Upon request, the Company will provide a comparable illustration based upon
the attained age, sex (where permitted by state law) and rate class of the
proposed Insured and for the face amount or premium requested.

PART II
UNDERTAKINGS 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.
INDEMNIFICATION
The Bylaws of the Company provide that:
Each person (and the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person) made
or threatened to be made a party to any action, civil or criminal, by reason
of being or having been a director, officer , or employee of the
corporation (or by reason of serving any other organization at the
request of the corporation) shall be indemnified to the extent
permitted by the laws of the State of Minnesota, and in the manner
prescribed therin .
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted for directors and officers
or controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing,
or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and , therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for 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
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the Policies issued by the Variable
Account, 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 the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

________________________________________________________________________
PART 4. PAYMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS
We will pay the benefits under this policy if it is still in force upon the
earliest of:
- - the death of the Insured; or
- - the date the Owner surrenders the policy for its Net Cash Value; or
- - the Maturity Date shown on the Coverage Page.
This policy will terminate once the benefits become payable.
The MATURITY DATE is the last date to which premiums can be paid and coverage
continued under this policy. If the Insured is alive on the Maturity Date and
this policy is still in force, we will pay a maturity benefit as described
under Maturity Benefit below. If the Insured dies before the Maturity Date
while this policy is in force, we will pay a Death Benefit as described under
Death Benefit below. Coverage will not continue to the Maturity Date if
premiums paid and interest credited are not sufficient to keep the policy in
force until the Maturity Date.
The proceeds may be taken in a lump sum or applied under one of our payment
options. (Our payment options are described in the section following Part
12.) If the proceeds are applied under a payment options, we will issue a new
contract (payment contract). The date benefits become payable under this
policy will be used as the effective date of the payment contract.
DEATH BENEFIT
The amount of the Death Benefit depends on the total Face Amount, the Policy
Account on the date of the Insured's death and the Death Benefit option,
Option A or Option B, in effect at that time.
The total Face Amount is the sum of all of the Face Amount portions. The
initial Face Amount and each Face Amount increase still in effect are Face
Amount portions. The Initial Face Amount and the Death Benefit option in
effect are Face Amount portions. The Initial Face Amount and the Death
Benefit option in effect on the Issue Date are shown on the Coverage Page.
OPTION A. The amount of the Death Benefit under Option A is the greater of:
- - the total Face Amount at the beginning of the policy month when the death
occurs; or
- - the Policy Account on the date of death multiplied by the applicable factor
from the Table of Death Benefit Factors below.
OPTION B. The amount of the Death Benefit under Option B is the greater of;
- - the total Face Amount at the beginning of the policy month when the death
occurs plus the Policy Account on the date of death or
- - the Policy Account on the date of death multiplied by the applicable factor
from the Table of Death Benefit Factors below.

</TABLE>
SUICIDE. If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two
years from the Issue Date, the amount of the Death Benefit under either Option
A or Option B will be equal to the total premiums paid, less any Partial
Surrenders and any Policy Debt. If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or
insane, within two years from the effective date of a Face Amount increase,
the amount of the Death Benefit will not include the Face Amount increase.
But it will include a return of the monthly insurance risk charges for the
increase and any expense charges we have made for the increase. If the law of
the state where this policy is delivered provides a shorter period, that law
will govern.
We will pay any Death Benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary as described in Part
3. The proceeds may be taken in a lump sum or applied under one of our
payment options. During the Insured's life or within 60 days after the
Insured's death, the Owner can choose how the proceeds will be paid. The
Owner can also limit the Beneficiary's right to withdraw money under a payment
option. A Beneficiary can choose how the proceeds will be paid if the Owner
has not done so within 60 days after the Insured's death.
CHANGE IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
The Owner may change the Death Benefit option after this policy has been in
force for at least one year, subject to the following requirements:
- - the Owner must request the change in writing;
- - once the Death Benefit option has been changed, it cannot be changed again
for the next three years;
- - if Death Benefit Option A is to be changed to Option B, the Owner must
submit proof satisfactory to us that the Insured is still insurable at the
risk classification that applies for the Initial Face Amount as shown on the
Coverage Page. The Face Amount will not change; and
- - if Death Benefit Option B is changed to Option A, the Face Amount will be
increased by an amount equal to the Policy Account on the date of the change.
The risk classification for the last Face Amount portion to go into effect
which is still in force will apply to the Face Amount increase. This increase
will not result in any increase in premiums, expense charges or Surrender
Charges.
Any change in Death Benefit option will take effect on the monthly anniversary
date on or following the date we approve the request for the change.
CHANGE IN FACE AMOUNT
The Owner may change the Face Amount of this policy on any monthly anniversary
date after the policy has been in force at least one year, subject to the
following requirements. Once the Face Amount has been changed, it cannot be
changed again for the next twelve months.
FACE AMOUNT INCREASE. To increase the Face Amount the Owner must:
- - submit an application for the increase;
- - submit proof satisfactory to us that the Insured is an insurable risk; and
- - pay any additional premium which is required.
The Face Amount can only be increased before the Insured reaches age 81. Each
Face Amount increase must be at least as large as the Minimum Face Amount
Increase shown on the Coverage Page. A Face Amount increase will take effect
on the monthly anniversary date on or following the day we approve the
application for the increase.
The risk classification that applies for any Face Amount increase may be
different from the risk classification that applies for the Initial Face
Amount.
The following changes will be made to reflect the increase:
- - The Guaranteed Coverage Premium will be increased.
- - The Monthly Administrative Charge will increase to 20.00 per month for the
twelve months following the increase.
- - Additional Surrender Charges equal to the Face Amount increase (in 1,000's)
multiplied by the Surrender Charge Factors shown on page 4 will apply for 13
years following the increase.
We will furnish a supplement to the Coverage Page that shows:
- - the risk classification and the amount of the increase; and
- - the values for the changes described above.
FACE AMOUNT DECREASE. The Owner must request in writing any decrease in the
Face Amount. The decrease will take effect on the later of:
- - the monthly anniversary date on or following the day we receive the Owner's
request for the decrease; or
- - the monthly anniversary date one year after the last change in Face Amount
was made.
A Face Amount decrease will be used to reduce any previous Face Amount
increases which are then in effect starting with the latest increase and
continuing in the reverse order in which the increases were made. If any
portion of the decrease is left after all Face Amount increases have been
reduced, it will be used to reduce the Initial Face Amount. We will not
permit a Face Amount decrease that would reduce the Initial Face Amount below
the minimum Face Amount shown on the Coverage Page.
The Guaranteed Coverage Premium will be reduced to reflect the Face Amount
decrease. The new Guaranteed Coverage Premium will be shown on a supplement
to the Coverage Page.
We will deduct a charge from the Policy Account when the Face Amount is
decreased. The maximum charge we will deduct each time the Face Amount is
decreased is the lesser of:
- - the total of the current Surrender Charge for the amount of each Face Amount
portion reduced; or
- - the Policy Account when the decrease is made.
The charge will be deducted for each Face Amount portion reduced, starting
with the charge for the first Face Amount portion reduced, and continuing in
the same order in which the reductions are made until the charge is completely
deducted.
Future Surrender Charges will be reduced proportionately for any charges
deducted. After the Face Amount is decreased, the Surrender Charges for each
Face Amount portion for which a charge is deducted will be equal to the
Surrender Charges shown for that Face Amount portion on the Coverage Page, or
in the supplement to the Coverage Page, multiplied by the ratio of:
- - the amount of the Surrender Charge in effect for the Face Amount portion at
the time the charge is deducted minus the amount of the charge deducted for
the Face Amount portion; divided by
- - the amount of the Surrender Charge in effect for the Face Amount portion at
the time the charge is deducted.
LIMITATION ON CHANGES
We reserve the right to decline to make any change that we determine would
cause this policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under applicable tax
law as interpreted by us.
SURRENDER BENEFIT
In Part 10 we describe the benefit if the Owner surrenders this policy for its
Net Cash Value. If this policy is surrendered, the Owner can receive the
proceeds in a lump sum or apply them under one of our payment options. If the
proceeds are to be applied under a payment option, we must receive written
notice when the policy is surrendered.
MATURITY BENEFIT
The amount of the benefit if this policy is in force on the Maturity Date is
the Policy Account (Part 7) at that time. We will pay any maturity benefit
proceeds to the Owner. The Owner can receive the proceeds in a lump sum or
apply them under one of our payment options.
DEDUCTION OF POLICY DEBT FROM BENEFITS
If there is any Policy Debt (Part 11) outstanding when benefits become
payable, we will deduct it from the amount of the benefit otherwise payable.
________________________________________________________________________
PART 5. PREMIUM PAYMENTS
The initial premium for this policy, shown on the Coverage Page, is due before
we deliver the policy. Premium payments may be made at our Dallas office.
The premium payments required to continue this policy in force are described
in Part 6.
PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUMS. Planned periodic premiums may be paid annually,
semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. The planned periodic premium and the
payment interval in effect on the Issue Date are shown on the Coverage Page.
The Owner may change the amount and frequency of premiums. We have the right
to limit the amount of any increase. Each premium after the initial premium
must be at least 25.00. We may increase this minimum limit 90 days after we
send the Owner written notice of such increase.
UNSCHEDULED PREMIUMS. Additional unscheduled premium payments can be made at
any time while this policy is in force. We have the right to limit the number
and amount of such premium payments.
In order to preserve the favorable tax status of this policy:
- - we may limit the amount of premiums paid; and
- - we may return any premiums that exceed the limits under the tax laws of the
United States and the state where this policy is delivered.
________________________________________________________________________
PART 6. CONTINUING THE POLICY IN FORCE; TERMINATION OF COVERAGE
The policy will continue in force each month as long as the Net Cash Value on
the monthly anniversary date at the beginning of that month is large enough to
cover the monthly deduction made for that month. (In Part 7 we describe the
monthly deductions. In Part 10 we describe the Net Cash Value.)
During the first 10 policy years, the Net Cash Value at the beginning of a
policy month may not be large enough to continue this policy in force for that
month. This policy will still continue in force for that month if adjusted
premium payments as of the monthly anniversary date at the beginning of that
month are not less than Accumulated Guaranteed Coverage Premiums as of that
monthly anniversary date as described below.
TERMINATION. This policy will terminate on the earliest of the following
dates:
- - the date the Owner surrenders the policy for it Net Cash Value (Part 10); or
- - the date the policy terminates because total Policy Debt exceeds the limit
on Policy Debt (Part 11); or
- - the date of the Insured's death; or
- - the Maturity Date; or
- - the end of a 61 day grace period, as described below.
GRACE PERIOD
During the first 10 policy years, a grace period begins on the monthly
anniversary date when:
- - the Net Cash Value is not large enough to cover the monthly deduction made
on that date; and
- - adjusted premium payments are less than accumulated Guaranteed Coverage
Premiums.
Adjusted premium payments as of a monthly anniversary date equal:
- - total premiums we have received on or before that date; minus
- - any Partial Surrenders the Owner has made on or before that date (Part 10),
and any Policy Debt.
Accumulated Guaranteed Coverage Premiums as of a monthly anniversary date
equal:
- - the Total Guaranteed coverage Premium; multiplied by
- - one plus the number of months this policy has been in force as of that
monthly anniversary date.
If the same Total Guaranteed Coverage Premium has not been in effect every
month during this period, Accumulated Guaranteed Coverage Premiums will be
based on the different premiums that were in effect and the number of months
for which each applied.
After the first 10 Policy Years, a grace period begins on the monthly
anniversary date when the Net Cash Value is not large enough to cover the
monthly deduction made on that date.
We will continue this policy in effect for 61 days after a grace period
begins. If the Insured dies during a grace period, we will deduct the premium
that would have been required to keep this policy from terminating at the end
of the grace period, as described below, from the amount we would otherwise
pay.
TERMINATION AT END OF GRACE PERIOD
This policy will terminate without value at the end of a grace period unless
we receive a premium large enough to keep the policy from terminating at the
end of that grace period, as described below, before the grace period ends.
This premium must also meet our minimum premium requirements as described in
Part 5.
During the first 10 Policy Years, the premium required to keep this policy
from terminating at the end of a grace period equals the lesser of:
- - three monthly deductions; or
- - Accumulated Guaranteed Coverage Premiums for the monthly anniversary date
when the grace period began minus adjusted premium payments as of that date.
After the first 10 Policy Years, the premium required to keep this policy from
terminating at the end of a grace period equals three monthly deductions.
We will notify the Owner and any Assignee of record in writing at least 31
days before a grace period ends. The notice will show how much must be paid
to keep this policy from terminating at the end of that grace period. We will
send the notice to the Owner's and Assignee's last known addresses we have on
file.
HOW TO REINSTATE THIS POLICY
This policy may be reinstated (coverage restored) any time within five years
after it has terminated at the end of a grace period. To reinstate this
policy the Owner must:
- - submit an application for reinstatement;
- - submit proof satisfactory to us that the Insured is still insurable at the
risk classification that applies for the latest Face Amount portion then in
effect;
- - pay or agree to reinstatement of any Policy Debt; and
- - pay the premium required to reinstate the policy, as described below.
The premium required to reinstate the policy equals the total of the following
amounts:
- - the amounts that would have been required for this policy to continue in
force without entering a grace period for each month during the grace period
at the end of which it terminated; and
- - the amount that will be required for this policy to continue in force
without entering a grace period for the next 3 months after the reinstatement
date.
The reinstatement date will be the monthly anniversary date on or following
the day we approve the application for reinstatement. The Policy Account on
the reinstatement date will be equal to the Policy Account on the monthly
anniversary date when the grace period ended. The Surrender Charge on the
monthly anniversary date when the grace period ended.
This policy may not be reinstated after:
- - it has been surrendered for its Net Cash Value; or
- - the Insured's Death; or
- - the Maturity Date.
______________________________________________________________________________
PART 7. THE POLICY ACCOUNT
While this policy is in force, this is how we determine the Policy Account.
On the Issue Date the beginning Policy Account equals:
- - the first premium paid less any premium expense charges shown on the
Coverage Page; minus
- - the monthly deduction for the first policy month.
After the Issue Date the Policy Account equals the sum of the amounts in the
Fixed Account and in the sub-accounts of the Variable Account under this
policy.
MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS
At the beginning of each policy month we make a deduction from the Policy
Account.
The monthly deduction for a policy month equals the sum of:
- - the monthly expense charges shown on the Coverage Page and any supplements;
- - the charge for any additional benefit riders for the month; and
- - the insurance risk charge for that month.
CHARGES FOR ADDITIONAL BENEFIT RIDERS. The amount of the charge, if any, each
month for additional benefit riders is calculated as described in the riders
and shown on the Coverage Page of this policy.
INSURANCE RISK CHARGES. The Insurance risk charge for each policy month equals
the total of the insurance risk charges for that month for each Face Amount
portion then in effect. To determine the insurance risk charge for a Face
Amount portion for a policy month we multiply:
- - the Insurance Risk Amount for the Face Amount portion for that month divided
by one thousand; by
- - the cost of insurance rate per one thousand that applies to the Face Amount
portion for that month.
The Insurance Risk Amount for a Face Amount portion for a policy month equals
the excess of:
- - the Death Benefit associated with the Face Amount portion; over
- - the amount of the beginning Policy Account, before the monthly deduction for
the month is subtracted, applied to reduce the risk amount for that Face
Amount portion.
If Death Benefit Option B is in effect, the beginning Policy Account is
attributed to the Initial Face Amount in determining the Death Benefit
associated with each Face Amount portion.
The amount of the Death Benefit based on the beginning Policy Account may
exceed the sum of the Face Amount portions and any beginning Policy Account
attributed to the Initial Face Amount. The excess will be attributed to the
most recent Face Amount portion then in effect in determining the Death
Benefit associated with each Face Amount portion.
The beginning Policy Account is applied, first, to reduce the risk amount for
the Initial Face Amount. Any beginning Policy Account in excess of the
Initial Face Amount is then applied to reduce the risk amount for the first
Face Amount increase portion in an amount up to that Face Amount portion.
Remainders are successively applied to reduce the risk amount for the
following Face Amount increase portions in the order of the increases until
the entire Policy Account has been applied.
The cost of insurance rate for a Face Amount portion for a policy month equals
the sum of:
- - the standard cost of insurance rate for that month from the table of
standard cost of insurance rates declared by our Board of Directors (the
declared standard cost of insurance rate); and
- - an additional rate for any extra mortality risk classification that applies
for the Face Amount portion as shown on the Coverage Page, or the supplement
to the Coverage Page if the Face Amount has been changed.
The additional rate for an extra mortality risk classification for any policy
month equals the amount of extra mortality that the risk classification
represents for that month.
The total cost of insurance rate for a policy month will be uniform for all
Face Amount portions that:
- - are in the same Face Amount band, sex, and risk classification;
- - take effect when the Insureds are the same age; and
- - have been in force the same length of time.
We may change the declared cost of insurance rates from time to time based on
our expectations as to future cost elements such as: investment earnings,
mortality, persistency, expenses, and taxes. Any change we make will apply to
all Face Amount portions in the same risk classification.
The declared standard cost of insurance rates for each policy month will not
be more than the amount shown in the table below. The table is based on the
Insured's age last birthday at the beginning of each year (attained age), the
Insured's sex and whether or not the Insured has qualified for the non-smoker
classification. For the Initial Face Amount, the Insured's attained age is
determined at the beginning of each policy year. For each Face Amount
increase, attained age is determined at the beginning of each year measured
from the date the increase took effect

</TABLE>
RECLASSIFICATION. Shortly before the insured attains age 20, we will notify
the owner that the insured will be reclassified. We will include any forms we
need to process the reclassification. For the insured to be classified as a
non-smoker, we will require satisfactory evidence that the insured meets our
requirements for the non-smoker classification. If the insured qualifies for
the non-smoker classification, non-smoker cost of insurance rates will apply
for policy years beginning on and after the date of approval. If the insured
does not qualify for the non-smoker classification or we do not receive the
completed reclassification forms, smoker cost of insurance rates will apply
for policy years beginning at age 20.
OTHER DEDUCTIONS
The following other deductions from the Policy Account are made as they occur:
- - a pro rata portion of the Surrender Charge for a Face Amount decrease as
described under Change in Face Amount in Part 4;and
- - the amount deducted for a Partial Surrender as described under Partial
Surrenders in Part 10; and
- - the amount deducted for certain transfers as
described under Transfers in Part 8.
________________________________________________________________________
PART 8. INVESTMENT OPTIONS
ALLOCATIONS
This policy provides investment options for the amount in the Policy Account.
Amounts put into the Policy Account are allocated to the subaccounts of the
Variable Account and to the unloaned portion of the Fixed Account at the
Owner's direction. The initial premium allocation percentages are indicated
in the application for this policy, a copy of which is attached. These
percentages will also apply to subsequent premium allocations until the Owner
changes them.
Allocation percentages must be zero or a whole number not greater than 100.
The sum of the premium allocation percentages must equal 100.
We reserve the right to limit the number of sub-account allocations in effect
at any one time.
Such allocation percentages may be changed by written notice to our Dallas
office.
The monthly deduction will be made based on the proportions that the unloaned
values in the Fixed Account and in the sub-accounts of the Variable Account
bear to the total unloaned value in the Policy Account.
Any premium received prior to the Reallocation Date will be allocated to the
sub-account invested in the Money Market Fund.
On the Reallocation Date, the amounts in the Money Market Fund sub-account
will be allocated to the sub-accounts of the Variable Account and to the
unloaned portion of the Fixed Account according to the allocation percentages
shown on the application for this policy.
TRANSFERS
At the Owner's request we will transfer amounts from the value in any
sub-account of the Variable Account to one or more of the sub-accounts of the
Variable Account or to the Fixed Account. The minimum amount that we will
transfer from the value in a sub-account of the Variable Account on any date
is the lesser of the Minimum Transfer Amount shown on the Coverage Page or the
value in that sub-account on that date. The Owner may ask us to transfer on
any Policy Anniversary an amount from the unloaned value in the Fixed Account
to one or more sub-accounts of the Variable Account. However, we will make
such a transfer only if:
- - we receive such request at least 30 days before that Policy Anniversary; and
- - the amount requested is not more than the greater of 25% of the unloaned
value in the Fixed Account on that anniversary of the Minimum transfer Amount
shown on the Coverage Page.
In no event will we transfer more than such unloaned value. The minimum
amount that we will transfer from the value in the Fixed Account on any Policy
Anniversary is the lesser of the Minimum Transfer Amount shown on the Coverage
Page or the unloaned value in the Fixed Account on that date.
Twelve transfers may be made in a policy year without charge. We may charge a
transfer fee for additional transfers in a policy year as shown on the
Coverage Page. The Owner may tell us how much of each expense charge is to
come from the unloaned value in the Fixed Account and from the values in each
sub-accounts of the Variable Account. If the Owner does not tell us, we will
make the expense charge based on the proportions that the unloaned value in
the Fixed Account and in the sub-accounts of the Variable Account bear to the
total unloaned value in the Policy Account.
The Owner must make all such requests in writing to our Dallas office. A
transfer will take effect on the date we receive it at our Dallas office,
except that a transfer request from the Fixed Account will be made as of the
Policy Anniversary following the date we receive such request.
POLICY ACCOUNT
The amount in the Policy Account at any time is equal to the sum of the
amounts then in the Fixed Account and in the sub-accounts of the Variable
Account under this policy.
The amount in the Fixed Account at any time is equal to the amount allocated
and transferred to it under this policy, plus the interest credited to it,
minus amounts deducted, transferred, and withdrawn from it under this policy.
We will credit the amount in the Fixed Account with interest at effective
annual rates we determine. The rates may be different for unloaned values,
the value of any Preferred Debt, and the value of any Non-Preferred Debt (Part
11). For the value of any Preferred Debt, the interest we credit will not be
less than the Preferred Loan interest rate less 1 1/2%. Such rates will be
determined in advance of the policy month for which they apply. Such
effective annual interest rates will not be less than 3 1/2%.
At the end of each policy month we will credit interest on amounts in the
Fixed Account as follows:
- - on amounts that remain in the Fixed Account for the entire policy month,
from the beginning to the end of the month;
- - on amounts allocated to the Fixed Account during the policy month that are
net premium payments or loan re-payments, from the date we receive them to the
end of the policy month;
- - on amounts transferred to the Fixed Account during the policy month, from
the date of the transfer to the end of the policy month; and
- - on amounts deducted or withdrawn from the Fixed Account during the policy
month, from the beginning of the policy month to the date of the deduction or
Surrender.
________________________________________________________________________
PART 9. THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The name of the Variable Account is Allianz Life Variable Account A. The
assets of the Variable Account are our property but are not chargeable with
the liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct, except to
the extent that the assets of the Variable Account exceed the liabilities of
the Variable Account arising under the policies supported by the Variable
Account.
The assets of the Variable Account are segregated by Eligible Funds and where
appropriate by portfolios within each Eligible Fund, thus establishing a
series of sub-accounts within the Variable Account.
We may, from time to time, add additional Eligible Funds or portfolios. In
such event, you may be permitted to select from these other Eligible Funds or
portfolios limited by the terms and conditions we may impose on such
transactions.
We may also substitute other Eligible Funds or portfolios. The investment
policy of the Variable Account will not be changed without approval pursuant
to the insurance laws of the State of Minnesota. If required, approval of or
change of any investment policy will be filed with the Insurance Department of
the state where this policy is delivered.
VALUATION OF ASSETS
Assets of Eligible Funds within sub-accounts will be valued at their net asset
value on each Valuation Date.
METHOD OF DETERMINING SUB-ACCOUNT VALUES
Sub-account values will fluctuate in accordance with the underlying Eligible
Fund or Eligible Fund portfolio. In order to determine sub-account values, we
utilize sub-account valuation units. The value of a unit applicable during
any Valuation Period is determined at the end of that period.
When we first purchased assets of an Eligible Fund for a sub-account, each
sub-account valuation unit was valued at $10. The value of a unit within each
sub-account on any Valuation Date thereafter is determined by dividing (a) by
(b), where:
- - (a) is equal to:
1. the total value of the net assets in the sub-account; minus
2. the daily Mortality and Expense Risk Charge shown on the Coverage Page;
minus
3. the daily charge for administrative expense shown on the coverage Page;
plus or minus
4. a charge or credit for any tax provision established for the sub-account.
(b) is the total number of units applicable to that sub-account at the end
of the Valuation Period.
A valuation unit may increase or decrease in value from Valuation Date to
Valuation Date.
________________________________________________________________________
PART 10. CASH VALUES
The Cash Value equals:
- - the Policy Account; minus
- - the Surrender Charge.
The Surrender Charges for each policy year are shown on the Coverage Page and
any supplements.
The Surrender Charge at any time during the first policy year equals the
Surrender Charge at the end of the year. The Surrender Charge during any
subsequent policy year will be calculated based on end of the year Surrender
Charges and the portion of the year that has been completed.
When this policy terminates, the Policy Account may be less than the Surrender
Charge. If so, the Owner will not have to pay the difference to us. If this
policy is reinstated, the Surrender Charge will also be reinstated as
described in Part 6.
The Net Cash Value equals:
- - the Cash Value; minus
- - any Policy Debt (Part 11).
During the Insured's life the Owner may:
- - take loans based on the Cash Value, as explained in Part 11;
- - make Partial Surrenders as explained below; and
- - surrender this policy for its Net Cash Value, as explained below.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS
The Owner may make a Partial Surrender from the Net Cash Value at any time
during the Insured's life and before the policy has terminated. The Minimum
Partial Surrender Amount is shown on the Coverage Page. The Partial Surrender
may not exceed the Net Cash Value, less $300.
We will make a Surrender Charge when a Partial Surrender is made. The maximum
Surrender Charge we will make is the lesser of $50 or 2% of the Partial
Surrender Amount plus a portion of the Surrender Charge equal to:
- - the percentage of the Cash Value being withdrawn; multiplied by
- - the Surrender Charge then in effect.
A Partial Surrender that does not exceed 10% of the Net Cash Value may be made
once each policy year without incurring a Surrender Charge.
When a Partial Surrender is made, the amount of the Partial Surrender and the
Surrender Charge, if any, will be deducted from the Policy Account. Future
Surrender Charges will also be reduced proportionately for any Surrender
Charge made.
The Owner may tell us how much of each Partial Surrender and Surrender Charge
is to come from the unloaned value in the Fixed Account and from values in
each of the sub-accounts of a Variable Account. If the Owner does not tell
us, or we cannot make the Surrender on the basis of the Owner's directions, we
will make the Surrender based on the proportions that the unloaned value of
the Fixed Account and in the sub-accounts of the Variable Account bear to the
total unloaned value in the Policy Account.
The Face Amount will be reduced if Death Benefit Option A is in effect when a
Partial Surrender is made. Such a reduction will be equal to the amount of
the Partial Surrender minus the excess, if any, of:
- - the Death Benefit at the time the Partial Surrender is made; over
- - the Face Amount at the time the Partial Surrender is made.
But if the amount of the Partial Surrender is less than or equal to the excess
described above, the Face Amount will not be reduced.
Any Face Amount reduction will be used first to reduce any Face Amount
increases then in effect starting with the latest increase and continuing in
the reverse order in which the increases were made. If any of the reduction
is left after all Face Amount increases have been reduced, it will be used to
reduce the Initial Face Amount.
We will not permit a Partial Surrender that would reduce the Face Amount below
the minimum Face Amount shown on the Coverage Page.
We may limit the number of Partial Surrenders in a policy year, but this limit
will not be less than one.
SURRENDERING THE POLICY FOR ITS NET CASH VALUE
The Owner may surrender this policy and receive the Net Cash Value anytime
during the Insured's life and before the policy has terminated.
The surrender will take effect on the later of:
- - the date we receive the Owner's written request for the surrender value; or
- - the date the Owner requests, in writing, for the surrender to take effect.
This policy and all coverage under it will terminate at 12:01 a.m. at our
Dallas office on the date the surrender takes effect.
________________________________________________________________________
PART 11. POLICY LOANS
We will loan money to the Owner at the loan interest rate we establish for
each year during which the loan is outstanding. The request by the Owner for
a loan must be made in writing, to our Dallas office.
The Policy Loan will be divided into two parts, the Preferred Loan and the
Non-Preferred Loan. A Preferred Loan may be made not more than once per
policy year, beginning the later of the tenth Policy Anniversary or the Policy
Anniversary following the Insured's 60th birthday. No more than 10% of the
Cash Value of the policy at the time of the loan may be made as a Preferred
Loan. Any portion of a loan that is not a Preferred Loan is a Non-Preferred
Loan.
The Policy Loan must be allocated to the Fixed Account. If the Policy Loan
requested exceeds the unloaned balance in the Fixed Account, a transfer of
values from the sub-accounts of the Variable Account to the Fixed Account will
be made, if such values are available. These values will be determined at the
time of the request for transfer. If the Owner does not indicate the
proportions of the sub-accounts to be transferred, we will make the transfers
based on the proportions that the values in the sub-accounts of the Variable
Account bear to the total unloaned value in the Policy Account.
LOAN INTEREST CHARGED
There may be a lower declared loan interest rate each year for the Preferred
Loan than for the Non-Preferred Loan. We will determine the loan interest
rates for a policy year at least 60 days before the policy year begins. The
maximum annual loan interest rates we will use for Preferred and Non-Preferred
Loans for a policy (the maximum allowable rate) are the greater of:
- - the guaranteed interest rate for the Fixed Account shown on the Coverage
Page for a policy year plus 1%; or
- - MOODY'S CORPORATE BOND YIELD AVERAGE, MONTHLY AVERAGE CORPORATES as
published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., for the calendar month ending
two months before the date on which the loan interest rate is determined.
If MOODY'S CORPORATE BOND YIELD AVERAGE, MONTHLY AVERAGE CORPORATES is no
longer published on a timely basis, we will use a substantially similar
average approved by the insurance department in the state where this policy
was delivered to determine the maximum allowable rate.
If the maximum allowable rate for a policy year is at least 1/2% lower than
the loan interest rate in effect for the previous policy year, we will
decrease the loan interest rate to not more than the maximum allowable rate.
If the maximum allowable rate for a policy year is at least 1/2% higher than
either loan interest rate in effect for the previous policy year, we may
increase either loan interest rate to not more than the maximum allowable
rate.
We will not use a loan interest rate for any policy year that exceeds 15%.
We will notify the Owner as to the Preferred Loan and Non-Preferred Loan
interest rates that apply at the time a new loan is made or when any Policy
Debt is reinstated.
If either loan interest rate that applied to an existing Policy Loan is
increased, we will notify the Owner in writing at least 30 days before the new
rate takes effect.
When a loan is made, interest for the rest of the current policy year must be
paid in advance. If interest is not paid when due, it will be added to the
Policy Debt and allocated to the Fixed Account. The accumulation of Preferred
Loans, together with interest on such loans is the Preferred Debt. The
accumulation of Non-Preferred Loans, together with interest on such loans, is
the Non-Preferred Debt. Total Policy Debt is the sum of the Preferred Debt
and the Non-Preferred Debt, and equals the total outstanding loan with
interest. If the Total Policy Debt (including interest in advance) exceeds
the Fixed Account, we will transfer values from the sub-accounts of the
Variable Account to the Fixed Account, if such values are available, based on
the proportion that each sub-account value bears to the total value of the
sub-accounts of the Variable Account. The unpaid interest will then be
treated as part of the Policy Debt and will bear interest at the applicable
loan rates.
LOAN LIMIT
A loan may be for any amount which does not exceed the loan limit.
The loan limit equals:
- - the Cash Value on the date the loan is made; minus
- - interest for the rest of the current policy year; minus
- - any existing Policy Debt.
SECURITY
This policy will be the only security for the loan.
RESTRICTIONS ON MAKING LOANS
Loans will not be available during a grace period or after the Insured dies.
REPAYING POLICY DEBT
The Policy Debt, or any part, may be repaid at any time as long as this policy
is in force. We have the right to not accept partial loan repayments for
amounts less than 50. Any Policy Debt outstanding will be deducted before any
benefit proceeds are paid or applied under a payment option.
Repayments will be applied first to the Non-Preferred Debt Account, and then
to the Preferred Debt Account, unless the Owner specifies differently.
Repayments will be allocated to the Fixed Account and to the sub-accounts of
the Variable Account based on the premium allocation schedule then in effect,
unless a different allocation is requested.
When there is Policy Debt outstanding, any payments received will be applied
first as a repayment of debt, rather than as premium, unless we are instructed
otherwise.
LIMIT ON POLICY DEBT
Total Policy Debt must not exceed the Cash Value.
If Total Policy Debt, adjusted for any unearned loan interest ever equals or
exceeds the Cash Value, we can terminate the policy. The policy will
terminate 61 days after we have mailed written notice to the Owner and to
anyone who is relying on the policy as collateral security as shown on our
records. Notice will be sent to the last known addresses we have on file.
________________________________________________________________________
PART 12. OTHER PROVISIONS
This part contains important general provisions.
THE CONTRACT
The Policy, the application and any attached riders and endorsements
constitute the complete agreement between the Owner and us. We have issued
the policy in exchange for the information provided in the application and the
payment of premiums.
Any change in the terms of our policy must be made in writing. Only our
President or Secretary is authorized to change or waive the terms of the
policy. No agent or other person has authority to waive a complete answer to
any question in the application, change or waive any terms of the policy, or
waive any of our other rights or requirements.
LIMITATIONS ON CONTESTING THE POLICY
We consider statements made in the application by the applicant to be
representations and not warranties. We may contest any Face Amount portion of
this policy if we rely on a material misrepresentation in the application for
issue or reinstatement of that Face Amount portion, a copy of which was
attached to the policy when issued, or was mailed to the Owner when the policy
was reinstated or when the Face Amount was increased.
We may not contest any Face Amount portion after it has been in effect during
the Insured's lifetime for two years from its effective date or from the
effective date of reinstatement. Afterwards, we can only contest for not
paying premiums.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the Insured's age or sex is misstated in the application, the benefits for
this policy and any additional benefit riders will be adjusted. The adjusted
benefits for the policy will be the insurance risk amount which the last
monthly deduction made would have provided for the Insured's correct age and
sex plus the Net Cash Value. The adjusted benefits for any additional benefit
rider will be those which the last monthly deduction made would have provided
for the Insured's correct age and sex.
MISSTATEMENT OF TOBACCO USE
If the answers in the application concerning use of tobacco by the Insured are
not correct, the benefits for this policy and any additional benefit riders
will be adjusted. The adjusted benefits for the policy will be the insurance
risk amount which the last monthly deduction made would have provided if the
correct answers had been given, plus the Net Cash Value. The adjusted
benefits for any additional benefit rider will be the amount the last monthly
deduction made would have provided if the correct answers had been given.
BASIS USED FOR CALCULATIONS
The guaranteed maximum standard monthly cost of insurance rates are based on
the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker, Male and
Female Mortality Tables (age last birthday), as appropriate.
Minimum cash values are calculated according to the standard nonforfeiture
law. The calculations are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary
Smoker and Non-smoker, Male and Female Mortality Tables (age last birthday),
as appropriate, and the guaranteed interest rate shown on the Coverage Page.
All policy values meet the standard non-forfeiture law requirements.
A detailed statement of our computation method for all values and reserves has
been filed with the insurance department of the state where this policy is
delivered. All values and reserves are equal to or greater than those
required by the laws of such state.
DELAY OF PAYMENTS
We will make any payments or loans under this policy within 7 business days of

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR PAYMENT OPTIONS
OTHER SELECTIONS. We may agree to other Installment Income, Life Income or
Life and Survivor Income options. A person receiving benefits under a payment
option may transfer any withdrawal value to another available option.
RIGHT TO INCREASE MONTHLY INCOME. A person who is applying proceeds from this
contract under a payment option may make an extra contribution to increase the
income he or she will receive. We will use the same rates as are used for the
proceeds to determine the additional income the extra contribution will
provide. We may make a charge which will not exceed 2% of the extra
contribution plus any premium tax required. We may limit the extra
contribution to an amount equal to the proceeds.
AMOUNTS TOO SMALL. If income payments would be less than 20, we may change
the frequency of payments or pay the proceeds in cash. Amounts less than
5,000 may not be applied under any payment option except interest
Accumulation, unless we agree.
AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION. A previous election of a payment option for death
benefits will be canceled if:
- - ownership of this contract is transferred; or
- - the beneficiary is changed
PAYMENTS TO MINORS. While a person named to receive benefits is a minor, we
will make all payments to the guardian of his or her estate. We may require
proof of age of any such person.
PAYMENT AFTER ALL PERSONS RECEIVING BENEFITS DIE. If all persons receiving
benefits under a payment contract die, we will make a single payment of any
amount still due. The single payment will be:
- - any money we are holding under an Interest Option; or
- - the present value of any unpaid installments under an Installment Income
Option; or
- - the present value of any remaining certain period payments under a Life
Income Option of the Life and Survivor Income Option.
The owner may name a person to receive the single payment. The person
receiving benefits can name someone if the owner did not. If no one has been
named, the payment will be made to the estate of the person receiving
benefits.

fractional shares of the Trust held by the Company, executing such requests on a

its designee of the request for redemption. For purposes of this Section 1.4,
the Company shall be the designee of the Trust for receipt of requests for

a.m. New York time on the next following Business Day.

written confirmation) to the Company of any income, dividends or capital gain
distributions payable on the Trust's shares. The Company hereby elects to
receive all such dividends and distributions as are payable on the Fund shares
in additional shares of that Fund. The Company reserves the right to revoke this
election and to receive all such dividends and distributions in cash. The Trust
shall notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such
dividends and distributions.
1.8. The Trust shall make the net asset value per share for each Portfolio
available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably practical after
the net asset value per share is calculated and shall use its best efforts to
make such net asset value per share available by 6:30 p.m. New York time.

federal and state laws and that the sale of the Contracts shall comply in all
material respects with state insurance suitability requirements. The Company
further represents and warrants that it is an insurance company duly organized
and in good standing under applicable law and that it has legally and validly
established the Account as a segregated asset account under Minnesota law and
has registered or, prior to any issuance or sale of the Contracts, will register
the Account as a unit investment trust in accordance with the provisions of the
1940 Act (unless exempt therefrom) to serve as a segregated investment account
for the Contracts.
2.2. The Trust represents and warrants that Trust shares sold pursuant to this
Agreement shall be registered under the 1933 Act, duly authorized for issuance
and sold in compliance with the laws or Massachusetts and all applicable federal
and state securities laws and that the Trust is and shall remain registered

order to affect the continuous offering of its shares. The Trust shall register
and qualify the shares for sale in accordance with the laws of the various
states only if and to the extent deemed advisable by the Trust.
2.3. The Trust represents that the Trust is currently qualified as a Regulated
Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the
"Code") and that every effort will be made to maintain such qualifications
(under Subchapter M or any successor or similar provision) and that the Trust
will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing
that the Trust has ceased to so qualify or that the Trust might not so qualify
in the future.

not interested persons of the Trust, formulate and approve of any plan under
Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution expenses.

3.1. The Trust shall provide the Company (at the Trust's expense) with as many
copies of the Trust's current prospectus as the Company may reasonably request.
If requested by the Company in lieu thereof, the Trust shall provide such
documentation (including a final "camera ready" copy of the new prospectus as
set in type at the Trust's expense) and other assistance as is reasonably
necessary in order for the Company once a year (or more frequently if the
prospectus for the Trust is supplemented or amended) to have the prospectus for
the Contracts and the Trust's prospectus printed together in one document (such
printing to be at the Trust's expense).
3.2. The Trust's prospectus shall state that the Statement of Additional
Information for the Trust is available from the Trust. The Trust, at its
expense, shall print and provide such Statement free of charge to the Company
and to any owner of a contract or prospective owner who requests such Statement.

proxy material, reports to stockholders and other communications to stockholders

the Company shall:
1. solicit voting instructions from contract owners;
2. vote the Trust shares in accordance with instructions received from Contract
owners; and
3. vote Trust shares for which no instructions have been received in the same
proportion as Trust shares of such Fund for which instructions have been
received;
so long as and to the extent that the Securities and Exchange Commission
continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges or
variable contract owners. The Company reserves the right to vote Trust shares
held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to the extent permitted
by law. The Company shall be responsible, with the guidance and assistance of
the Trust, assuring that each of their separate account participating in the
Trust calculates voting privileges in a manner consistent with the standards set
forth on Schedule B attached hereto.
ARTICLE IV. SALES MATERIAL AND INFORMATION
4.1. The Company shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to the Trust or

the permission of the Trust.
4.3. The Trust shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to the Company or

4.4. The Trust shall not give any information or make any representations on
behalf of the Company or concerning the Company, the Account, or the Contracts

approved by the Company for distribution to Contract owners, or in sales
literature or other promotional material approved by the Company or its
designee, except with the permission of the Company.
4.5. The Trust will provide to the Company at least one complete copy of all
registration statements, prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information,
reports, proxy statements, sales literature and other promotional materials,
applications for exemptions, requests for no action letters, and all amendments

contemporaneously with the filing of such document with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or other regulatory authorities. The Trust shall also
promptly inform the Company of the results or any examination by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (or other regulatory authorities), and shall provide the
Company with a copy of any "deficiency letter" or other correspondence or
written report regarding any such examination.
4.6. For purposes of this Article IV, the phrase "sales literature or other
promotional material" means advertisements (such as material published, or

television, telephone or tape recording, videotape display, signs or billboard),
and sales literature (such as brochures, circulars, market letters and form
letters), distributed or made generally available to customers or the public.
ARTICLE V. FEES AND EXPENSES
5.1. The Trust shall pay no Fee or other compensation to the Company under this
Agreement, and the Company shall pay no fee or other compensation to the Trust.
5.2. All expenses incident to performance by the Trust under this Agreement

registered and authorized for issuance in accordance with applicable federal law
and, if and to the extent deemed advisable by the Trust, in accordance with
applicable state laws prior to their sale. The Trust shall bear the expenses for
the cost of registration and qualification of the Trust's shares, preparation
and filing of the Trust's prospectus and registration statement, proxy materials
and reports, setting the prospectus in type, setting in type and printing the
proxy materials and reports to shareholders (including the costs of printing a
prospectus that constitutes an annual report), the preparation of all statements
and notices required by federal or state law, and all taxes on the issuance or
transfer of the Trust's shares.
5.3. The Trust shall bear the expenses of printing and distributing the Trust's
prospectus to owners of Contracts issued by the Company and or distributing the
Trust's proxy materials and reports to such Contract owners.
5.4. In the event the Trust adds one or more additional Funds and the Company
desires to make such Funds available to its Contract owners as an underlying
investment medium, a new Schedule A or an amendment to this Agreement shall be
executed by the parties authorizing the issuance of shares or the new Funds to
the Account.
ARTICLE VI. DIVERSIFICATION
6.1. The Trust represents, and warrants that the Trust will at all times invest
its assets in such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as
annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts under the code and the
regulations issued thereunder. Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, the
Trust will at all times comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and the
Regulations Section 1.817-5, relating to the diversification requirements for
variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts and any amendments or
other modifications to such Section or Regulation.
ARTICLE VII. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
7.1. The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") will monitor the Trust for
the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interest of
the Contract owners of all separate accounts investing in the Trust. A material
irreconcilable conflict may arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an
Action by any state insurance regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable
federal or state insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public
ruling, private letter ruling, no action or interpretive letter or any similar
action by insurance, tax or securities regulatory authorities (c) an
administrative or judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner
in which the investments of any Fund are being managed; (e) a difference in
voting instructions given by variable annuity contract and variable life
insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard the
voting instructions or Contract owners. The Board shall promptly inform the
Company to determine that a material irreconcilable conflict exists and the
implications thereof.
7.2. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of its
disinterested Trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the
Company shall, at its expense, and to the extent reasonably practicable (as
determined by a majority or the disinterested Trustees) take whatever steps are
necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and
including: (1) withdrawing the assets, allocable to some or all of the separate
accounts from the Trust or any Fund and reinvesting such assets in a different
investment medium, including (but not limited to) another Fund of the Trust, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote
of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of
any appropriate group (i.e., annuity Contract owners or life insurance Contract
owners) that votes in favor of such Segregation, or offering to the affected
Contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2) establishing a new
registered management investment company or managed separate account.
7.3. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular state
insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company conflicts with the
majority of other state regulators, then the Company will withdraw the Account's
investment in the Trust and terminate this Agreement within six months after the
Board informs the Company in writing that it has determined that such decision
has created an irreconcilable material conflict, provided, however, that such
withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the
foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board. Until the end of the foregoing six month
period, the Trust shall continue to accept and implement orders by the Company
for the purchase and redemption of shares of the Trust.
7.4. For purposes of Section 7.2 though 7.4 of this Agreement, a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether or not any proposed
action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event
will the Trust be required to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts.
The Company shall not be required by Section 7.2 to establish a new funding
medium for the Contracts, if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a
majority or Contract owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable
material conflict. In the event that the Board determines that any proposed
action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material conflict, then the
Company will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this
Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the Company in writing
of the foregoing determination, provided, however, that such withdrawal and
termination shall be limited to the extent required by any such material
irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members
of the Board.
ARTICLE VIII.INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY
8.1(a). The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and each of
its Trustees and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Trust within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the "Indemnified
Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.1) against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written
consent of the Company) or litigation (including legal and other expenses), to
which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute, regulation,
at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements are related to the
sale or acquisition of the Trust's shares or the Contracts and:
1. arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or alleged untrue
statements of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
prospectus for the Contracts or contained in the Contracts or sales
literature for the Contracts (or any amendment or supplement to any of the
foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this
agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any indemnified Party if such
statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company
by or on behalf of the Trust for use in the Registration Statement or
prospectus for the Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature (or
any amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the
sale of the Contracts or Trust shares; or
2. arise out of or as a result of statements or representations (other than
statements or representations contained in the Registration Statement,
prospectus or sales literature of the Trust not supplied by the Company, or
persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of the Company or persons
under its control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the
Contracts or Trust Shares; or
3. arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in a Registration Statement, prospectus, or sales literature
of the Trust or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such
statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to
the Trust by or on behalf of the company; or
4. arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation
and/or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or arise out of or
result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Company,
except to the extent provided in Sections 8.1(b) and 8.1(c) hereof.
8.1(b). The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification provision
with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation to which
an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such
Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless
disregard of obligations or duties under this Agreement or to the Trust,
whichever is applicable.
8.1(c) The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with
respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified
Party shall have notified the Company in writing within a reasonable time after
the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the
claim shall have been served upon such indemnified Party (or after such
Indemnified Party shall have received notice of such service on any designated
agent), but failure to notify the Company of any such claim shall not relieve
the Company from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party
against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this
indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought against the
Indemnified Parties, the Company shall be entitled to participate, at its own
expense, in the defense of such action. The Company also shall be entitled to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the
action. After notice from the Company to such party of the Company's election to
assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and
expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Company will be not
liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
8.l(d). The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the Company of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection with
the issuance or sale of the Trust Shares or the Contracts or the operation of
the Trust and the Indemnified Parties will provide the Company with all relevant
information and documents requested by the Company. For purposes of this Section
8.1(d), the "commencement" of proceedings shall include any informal or formal
communications from the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff (or the
receipt of information from any other persons or entities) indicating that
enforcement action by said Commission or staff may be contemplated or
forthcoming.

9.1. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions hereof interpreted
under and in accordance with the laws or Minnesota.
9.2 This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the 1933, 1934 and 1940

exemptions from those statutes, rules and regulations as the Securities and
Exchange Commission may grant (including, but not limited to, the Mixed Funding
Exemptive Order) and the terms hereof shall be interpreted and construed in
accordance therewith.

furnished by the Company; or
