                       The following is added to Examples:

                       The following table shows the expenses you would pay on
                       each $1,000 you invested if, at the end of each period,
                       you: surrendered your Contract, annuitized your
                       Contract and withdrew the Contract Value, or did not
                       annuitize or surrender, but left the money in your
                       Contract.

                       These examples assume the following:

                       . the Contract Value starts at $45,000

                       . the Investment Options have an annual return of 5%

                       . the Maintenance Fee is deducted even when the
                         Contract Value goes over $50,000 and a waiver would
                         normally apply.

                       These examples do not show past or future expenses.
                       Your actual expenses in any year may be more or less
                       than those shown here.

                       You may instruct us to allocate all or part of your
                       premium payments to the Focused 30 and Strategic Value
                       Investment Options on or after October 2, 2000. You may
                       not instruct us to allocate your premium payments to
                       these Investment Options prior to October 2, 2000, when
                       the Options first become available.

Transfers of           This information is added to the discussion in the
Accumulated Value      Prospectus on Transfers of Accumulated Value.
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. 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. 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 not 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, unless you instruct us otherwise.
