amended
You may instruct us to allocate all or part of your net
premiums to the Focused 30 and Strategic Value
investment options on or after October 2, 2000. You may
not instruct us to allocate your net premiums to these
investment options prior to October 2, 2000, when the
options first become available. Your net premium or
policy's accumulated value may be invested in up to 20
investment options at any one time.

is amended
You may instruct us to transfer accumulated value to a
variable investment option and specify a future date on
which the accumulated value is to be transferred. This
instruction may cover any variable investment option
currently available under your contract and the Focused
30 and Strategic Value investment options, subject to
the limitation on investment options described above.
For the Focused 30 and Strategic Value investment
options, you may not specify a date prior to October 2,
2000, when the options first become available. If you
specify October 2, 2000 for the Focused 30 and
Strategic Value investment options, and we receive the
instructions prior to that date, the requested amount
will be transferred effective as of the close of
business on October 2, 2000, or, if we hold your net
premiums in the Money Market investment option, your
free-look transfer date, whichever is later. You may
revoke your transfer instructions at any time before we
transfer accumulated value by providing us with a
revocation in proper form, which we must receive no
later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last business
day before the date you have specified for a transfer.
While highly remote, there is a possibility that the
Focused 30 and Strategic Value investment options will
not become effective on October 2, 2000, in which case
we would not effect the transfer to these options, and
your accumulated value would remain in the investment
option from which you requested it be transferred until
the day the Focused 30 and Strategic Value Portfolios
become effective, if ever, or your free-look transfer
date, unless you instruct us otherwise.
