                       which the accumulated value is to be transferred. This
                       instruction may cover any variable investment option
                       currently available under your contract and the Focused

                       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
