12      Telephone Transfer

Your variable annuity contract will automatically receive telephone transfer
privileges described in the applicable prospectus unless instructions to the
contrary are indicated.

     Western Reserve Life will not be liable for complying with the telephone
instructions it reasonably believes to be authentic, nor for any loss, damage,
costs or expense in acting on such telephone instructions, and Owners will bear
the risk of any such loss. Western Reserve Life will employ such procedures to
confirm that the telephone instructions are genuine. Such procedures may
include, among others, requiring forms of personal identification prior to
acting upon such telephone instructions, providing written confirmation of such
transactions to Owners and/or tape recording of telephone transfer request

it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.

13a     Dollar Cost Averaging

Western Reserve Life will automatically transfer the stated amount(s) from the
designated Sub-Account(s) or the Fixed Account* to the other Sub-Account(s) or
Fixed Account indicated on the chosen date of each month. The Dollar Cost

otherwise be processed falls on a non- business day, the Automatic Withdrawal
will be processed on the next business day. For Tax-Qualified contracts, or if
the Owner(s) is/are a resident of a community property state, spousal signature

Amounts received as partial surrenders from non-tax qualified annuity contracts
prior to the maturity date are first treated as taxable income to the extent of
any gain. Additionally, a penalty tax equal to 10% of the amount treated as
taxable gain will generally be imposed on partial surrenders made prior to the
Owners age 59 1/2. This authorization applies only to this Western Reserve Life
application/contract being applied for. A separate authorization must be
completed for any additional Variable Annuity Contracts owned. I understand and
agree to the terms and conditions as set forth in the Prospectus.

o    Check box A if you do not want any Federal income tax withheld from your
     annuity partial surrender payments.
o    Check box B if you do want Federal income tax withheld from your annuity
     partial surrender payments.

Even if you elect not to have Federal income tax withheld, you are liable for
payment of Federal income tax on the taxable portion of your annuity payments.
You may also be subject to tax penalties under the estimated tax payment rules
if your payment of estimated tax and withholding, if any, is inadequate.
