                                Explanatory Note

Registrant is filing this post-effective amendment ("Amendment") for the purpose
of adding a new prospectus,  a new statement of additional  information ("SAI"),
and additional  exhibits related to a new form of contract ("new Contract") that
Registrant  intends to offer.  The new Contract is essentially  identical to the
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Variable Annuity II AssetManager  contract  described
in the currently effective prospectus and SAI for that contract,  each dated May
2, 1999,  included  in the  Registration  Statement,  except that it has a lower
overall  charge  structure and fewer fixed  account and death  benefit  options,
consistent  with the manner in which the new Contract will be  distributed.  The
Amendment  is not  intended  to amend  or  delete  any part of the  Registration
Statement, except as specifically noted herein.

                                         You can choose fixed  income  payments,
                                         variable   income   payments,    or   a
                                         combination of the two. You can receive
                                         your  income  payments  in  one  of the
                                         following ways:

                                         o    life income with guaranteed
                                              payments
                                         o    joint and survivor life income
                                         o    guaranteed payments for a
                                              specified period

         Death Benefits
                                         If you or the Annuitant dies before the
                                         Payout  Start  Date,  we  will  pay the
                                         death   benefit    described   in   the
                                         Contract. We also offer death benefit
                                         options.

     ----------------------------------- -------------------------------------
         Transfers
                                         Before the Payout Start Date, you may
                                         transfer your Contract value
                                         ("Contract Value") among the investment
                                         alternatives, with certain
                                         restrictions.   Transfers  must  be  at
                                         least  $100 or the total  amount in the
                                         investment  alternative,  whichever  is
                                         less.

                                         We do not  currently  impose a fee upon
                                         transfers.   However,  we  reserve  the
                                         right to charge $25 per transfer  after
                                         the  12th  transfer  in each  "Contract
                                         Year,"  which we measure  from the date
                                         we issue  your  contract  or a Contract
                                         anniversary ("Contract Anniversary").

         Withdrawals                     You  may  withdraw  some or all of your
                                         Contract  Value at  anytime  during the
                                         Accumulation  Phase.  In  general,  you
                                         must  withdraw  at least $500 at a time

                                         penalty  may  apply  if  you   withdraw
                                         before you are 59 1/2 years old.

HOW THE CONTRACT WORKS


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     The Contract basically works in two ways.

     First,  the Contract can help you (we assume you are the "Contract  owner")
save for retirement  because you can invest in up to 22 investment  alternatives
and pay no federal  income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do
this  during  what  we  call  the  "Accumulation  Phase"  of the  Contract.  The
Accumulation  Phase begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date
the "Issue Date") and continues  until the Payout Start Date,  which is the date
we apply your money to provide income payments.  During the Accumulation  Phase,
you may  allocate  your  purchase  payments to any  combination  of the Variable
Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed Account Option. If you invest in the Fixed Account
Option, you will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically.  If
you invest in any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary
up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.

     Second,  the Contract can help you plan for retirement  because you can use
it to receive  retirement  income for life and/or for a pre-set number of years,
by selecting one of the income  payment  options (we call these "Income  Plans")
described  on page __.  You  receive  income  payments  during  what we call the
"Payout  Phase" of the  Contract,  which  begins on the  Payout  Start  Date and
continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select.
During the  Payout  Phase,  if you  select a fixed  income  payment  option,  we
guarantee the amount of your payments,  which will remain fixed. If you select a
variable  income  payment  option,   based  on  one  or  more  of  the  Variable
Sub-Accounts,  the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the
performance of the corresponding Portfolios.  The amount of money you accumulate
under your Contract  during the  Accumulation  Phase and apply to an Income Plan
will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.

     The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.

is none, the Beneficiary will exercise the rights and privileges provided by the
Contract.  See "The  Contract." In addition,  if you die before the Payout Start
Date, we will pay a death benefit to any surviving  Contract  owner, or if there
is none, to your Beneficiary. See "Death Benefits."

(1)  The  contractual  management fee rate for the Short-Term  Bond Portfolio is
     0.45% of average daily assets and for the  Aggressive  Equity  Portfolio is
     0.75% of average  daily net  assets.  The  Short-Term  Bond and  Aggressive
     Equity Portfolios  commenced operations on May 3, 1999. Morgan Stanley Dean
     Witter  Advisors  Inc.  had  undertaken  to  assume  all  expenses  of  the
     Short-Term  Bond and  Aggressive  Equity  Portfolios  (except for brokerage
     fees) and to waive the  compensation  provided for each of these Portfolios
     in its management  agreement with the Fund until such time as the pertinent
     Portfolio  had $50  million of net  assets or until May 1, 2000,  whichever
     occurrs  first.  As of  November  12,  1999,  neither the  Short-Term  Bond
     Portfolio nor the Aggressive  Equity  Portfolio had attained $50 million of
     net assets.

(2)  Morgan  Stanley  Dean Witter  Advisors  Inc. had  undertaken  to assume all
     expenses of the S&P 500 Index and Competitive Edge "Best Ideas"  Portfolios
     (except for brokerage fees) and to waive the compensation provided for each
     of these  Portfolios in its  management  agreement with the Fund until such
     time as the  pertinent  Portfolio  had $50  million  of net assets or until
     April 30,  1999,  whichever  occurred  first.  The S&P 500 Index  Portfolio
     attained $50 million of net assets on January 5, 1999. The Competitive Edge
     "Best Ideas"  Portfolio had not attained $50 million of net assets on April
     30,  1999.  Morgan  Stanley  Dean  Witter  Advisors  Inc.  has  permanently
     undertaken  to assume all expenses of the S&P 500 Index  Portfolio  (except
     for  brokerage  fees)  and  to  waive  the  compensation  provided  in  its
     management  agreement  with the Fund to the extent that such  expenses  and
     compensation on an annualized  basis exceed .50% of the daily net assets of
     the S&P 500 Index Portfolio.  Absent such reductions,  the management fees,
     other  expenses,  and total annual  Portfolio  expenses  would have been as
     follows:

     S&P 500 Index                                0.40%               0.19%              0.59%
     Competitive Edge "Best Ideas"                0.65%               0.27%              0.92%

(3)  Morgan  Stanley Dean Witter  Investment  Management  Inc.  has  voluntarily
     agreed  to a  reduction  in  its  management  fees  and  to  reimburse  the
     Portfolios for which it acts as investment  adviser for certain expenses of
     the  Portfolios.   Absent  such  reductions,  the  management  fees,  other
     expenses, and total annual Portfolio expenses would have been as follows:

     Equity Growth                                0.55%               0.76%              1.31%
     U.S. Real Estate                             0.80%               0.93%              1.73%
     International Magnum                         0.80%               1.00%              1.80%
     Emerging Markets Equity                      1.25%               2.20%              3.45%

(4)  Van Kampen Asset  Management Inc. has voluntarily  agreed to a reduction in
     its  management  fees and to reimburse  the Emerging  Growth  Portfolio for
     which  it acts as  investment  adviser  if such  fees  would  cause  "Total
     Portfolio  Annual  Expenses"  to exceed  the  amount set forth in the table
     above.  Absent such reductions,  the management  fees, other expenses,  and
     total annual  Portfolio  expenses  would have been 0.70%,  0.53, and 1.23%,
     respectively.

EXAMPLE

The  example  below  shows the  dollar  amount of  expenses  that you would bear
directly or indirectly if you:

o    invested $1,000 in a Variable Sub-Account,

o    earned a 5% annual return on your investment, and

o    elected the  Performance  Benefit  Combination  Option or the Death Benefit
     Combination Option.

The example does not include any taxes or tax  penalties  you may be required to
pay if you surrender your Contract.

past or future expenses. Your actual expenses may be lower or greater than those
shown  above.  Similarly,  your rate of return may be lower or greater  than 5%,
which  is  not  guaranteed.  The  above  examples  assume  the  election  of the
Performance Benefit Combination Option, or the Death Benefit Combination Option,
with a mortality  and expense  risk charge of 0.84%.  If those  options were not

FINANCIAL INFORMATION


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


To measure the value of your investment in the Variable  Sub-Accounts during the
Accumulation  Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the  "Accumulation  Unit."
Each Variable  Sub-Account  has a separate value for its  Accumulation  Units we
call the "Accumulation Unit Value." Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but
not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund.

There are no Accumulation Unit Values to report because the Contracts were first
offered  as of the date of this  prospectus.

The  financial  statements of  Northbrook  and the  financial  statements of the
Variable Account appear in the Statement of Additional Information.

THE CONTRACT


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CONTRACT OWNER

The Preferred  Client Variable  Annuity is a contract  between you, the Contract
owner, and Northbrook,  a life insurance company. As the Contract owner, you may
exercise all of the rights and privileges provided to you by the Contract.  That
means it is up to you to select or change (to the extent permitted):

o    the investment alternatives during the Accumulation and Payout Phases,

o    the amount and timing of your purchase payments and withdrawals,

o    the programs you want to use to invest or withdraw money,

o    the income payment plan you want to use to receive retirement income,

o    the  Annuitant  (either  yourself or someone else) on whose life the income
     payments will be based,

o    the  Beneficiary  or  Beneficiaries  who will receive the benefits that the
     Contract provides when the last surviving Contract owner or Annuitant dies,
     and

o    any other rights that the Contract provides.

If you die, any surviving  Contract  owner,  or, if none, the  Beneficiary  will
exercise  the  rights  and  privileges  provided  to them by the  Contract.  The
Contract  cannot be  jointly  owned by both a  non-natural  person and a natural
person.

You can use the Contract with or without a qualified plan. A "qualified plan" is
a retirement savings plan, such as an IRA or tax-sheltered  annuity,  that meets
the  requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code.  Qualified  plans may limit or
modify your rights and privileges under the Contract. We use the term "Qualified
Contract"  to refer to a Contract  used with a qualified  plan.  See  "Qualified
Plans" on page __.


ANNUITANT

The Annuitant is the individual whose life determines the amount and duration of
income payments  (other than under Income Plans with  guaranteed  payments for a
specified period). The Annuitant must be a natural person.

You initially designate an Annuitant in your application.  If the Contract owner
is a natural  person,  you may  change  the  Annuitant  at any time prior to the
Payout  Start  Date.  Once we receive  your change  request,  any change will be
effective  at the time you sign the  written  notice.  We are not liable for any
payment we make or other  action we take before  receiving  any written  request
from you. Before the Payout Start Date, you may designate a joint Annuitant, who
is a second person on whose life income payments  depend.  If the Annuitant dies
prior to the Payout Start Date, the new Annuitant will be the youngest  Contract
owner,  otherwise,  the youngest Beneficiary,  unless the Contract owner names a
different Annuitant.


BENEFICIARY

The  Beneficiary  is the person who may elect to  receive  the death  benefit or
become the new Contract owner if the sole  surviving  Contract owner dies before
the Payout  Start  Date.  If the sole  surviving  Contract  owner dies after the
Payout Start Date, the Beneficiary  will receive any guaranteed  income payments
scheduled to continue.

You may name one or more  Beneficiaries  when you apply for a Contract.  You may
change  or add  Beneficiaries  at any time by  writing  to us,  unless  you have
designated an irrevocable  Beneficiary.  We will provide a change of Beneficiary
form to be signed and filed with us. Any change  will be  effective  at the time
you sign the  written  notice,  whether or not the  Annuitant  is living when we
receive  the  notice.   Until  we  receive  your  written  notice  to  change  a
Beneficiary,  we are entitled to rely on the most recent Beneficiary information
in our files.  We will not be liable as to any payment or settlement  made prior
to  receiving  the  written  notice.  Accordingly,  if you wish to  change  your
Beneficiary, you should deliver your written notice to us promptly.

If you did not name a  Beneficiary  or,  if the named  Beneficiary  is no longer
living and there are no other surviving Beneficiaries,  the new Beneficiary will
be:

o        your spouse, if he or she is still alive, otherwise
o        your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children,
o        your estate.

If more than one  Beneficiary  survives you, (or the Annuitant,  if the Contract
owner is not a natural  person)  we will  divide  the death  benefit  among your
Beneficiaries  according to your most recent written  instructions.  If you have
not  given us  written  instructions,  we will pay the  death  benefit  in equal
amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries.


MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT

Only a Northbrook  officer may approve a change in or waive any provision of the
Contract.  Any change or waiver must be in  writing.  None of our agents has the
authority to change or waive the  provisions of the Contract.  We may not change
the terms of the Contract  without your consent,  except to conform the Contract
to  applicable  law or changes in the law.  If a  provision  of the  Contract is
inconsistent with state law, we will follow state law.


ASSIGNMENT

We will not honor an  assignment  of an interest in a Contract as  collateral or
security for a loan. However,  you may assign periodic income payments under the
Contract  prior to the Payout Start Date.  No  Beneficiary  may assign  benefits
under the  Contract  until they are payable to the  Beneficiary.  We will not be
bound by any assignment until the assignor signs it and files it with us. We are
not  responsible  for the validity of any  assignment.  Federal law prohibits or
restricts the  assignment of benefits  under many types of retirement  plans and
the terms of such plans may themselves contain  restrictions on assignments.  An
assignment may also result in taxes or tax penalties. You should consult with an
attorney before trying to assign your Contract.


<PAGE>



PURCHASES


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS

Your  initial  purchase  payment  must be at least  $1,000.  We may  increase or
decrease this minimum in the future.  You may make additional  purchase payments
of at least $100 at any time  prior to the Payout  Start  Date.  We reserve  the
right to lower the minimum and limit the maximum amount of purchase  payments we
will accept. We also reserve the right to reject any application.


AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM

You may make  subsequent  purchase  payments  of at least $100 by  automatically
transferring  amounts from your bank account or your Morgan  Stanley Dean Witter
Choice Account. Please consult your Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Financial Advisor
for details.


ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS

At the time you apply for a  Contract,  you must  decide  how to  allocate  your
purchase payments among the investment alternatives.  The allocation you specify
on your  application will be effective  immediately.  All allocations must be in
whole  percentages  that total 100% or in whole  dollars.  The  minimum  you may
allocate to any investment  alternative is $100. You can change your allocations
by notifying us in writing.

We will allocate your purchase payments to the investment alternatives according
to your most  recent  instructions  on file  with us.  Unless  you  notify us in
writing otherwise,  we will allocate  subsequent  purchase payments according to
the allocation for the previous purchase  payment.  We will effect any change in
allocation  instructions  at the time we receive written notice of the change in
good order.

We will credit the initial  purchase  payment that  accompanies  your  completed
application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment
at our  headquarters.  If your  application  is  incomplete,  we will ask you to
complete your  application  within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit
your  initial  purchase  payment to your  Contract  within  that 5 business  day
period.  If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the 5
business day period unless you expressly  allow us to hold it until you complete
the application.  We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract on
the business day that we receive the purchase payment at our headquarters.

We use the term  "business  day" to refer to each day Monday through Friday that
the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as
"Valuation Dates." If we receive your purchase payment after 3 p.m. Central Time
on  any  Valuation  Date,  we  will  credit  your  purchase  payment  using  the
Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.


RIGHT TO CANCEL

You may cancel the Contract within the Cancellation  Period, which is the 20-day
period  after you receive the  Contract or such longer  period as your state may
require.  If you exercise this Right to Cancel,  the Contract  terminates and we
will pay you the full amount of your  purchase  payments  allocated to the Fixed
Account  Option.  We also will return your  purchase  payments  allocated to the
Variable Account after an adjustment, to the extent state or federal law permit,
to reflect  investment  gain or loss that  occurred  from the date of allocation
through the date of cancellation. Some states may require us to return a greater
amount to you.


<PAGE>



CONTRACT VALUE


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Your Contract  Value at any time during the  Accumulation  Phase is equal to the
sum of the value of your  Accumulation  Units in the Variable  Sub-Accounts  you
have selected, plus the value of your investment in the Fixed Account Option.


ACCUMULATION UNITS

To determine the number of  Accumulation  Units of each Variable  Sub-Account to
allocate to your Contract,  we divide (i) the amount of the purchase  payment or
transfer you have allocated to a Variable  Sub-Account by (ii) the  Accumulation
Unit Value of that  Variable  Sub-Account  next  computed  after we receive your
payment or  transfer.  For  example,  if we receive a $10,000  purchase  payment
allocated to a Variable  Sub-Account  when the  Accumulation  Unit Value for the
Sub-Account  is $10, we would credit 1,000  Accumulation  Units of that Variable
Sub-Account  to  your  Contract.  Withdrawals  and  transfers  from  a  Variable
Sub-Account  would, of course,  reduce the number of Accumulation  Units of that
Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.


ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

As a general matter,  the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable  Sub-Account
will rise or fall to reflect:

o    changes  in the  share  price  of  the  Portfolio  in  which  the  Variable
     Sub-Account invests, and

o    the deduction of amounts  reflecting the mortality and expense risk charge,
     administrative  expense  charge,  and any  provision  for  taxes  that have
     accrued since we last calculated the Accumulation Unit Value.

We determine transfer fees (currently waived) separately for each Contract. They
do not affect  Accumulation  Unit  Value.  Instead,  we obtain  payment of those
charges  and  fees  by  redeeming  Accumulation  Units.  For  details  on how we
calculate  Accumulation Unit Value,  please refer to the Statement of Additional
Information.

We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account on
each  Valuation  Date.  We also  determine a separate set of  Accumulation  Unit
Values that reflect the cost of the  Performance  Death Benefit  Option,  or the
Performance  Income Benefit Option,  and a third set of Accumulation Unit Values
that reflect the cost of the Performance  Benefit  Combination  Option and Death
Benefit Combination Option.

You  should  refer  to the  prospectuses  for  the  Funds  that  accompany  this
prospectus  for a  description  of how the assets of each  Portfolio are valued,
since that  determination  directly bears on the Accumulation  Unit Value of the
corresponding Variable Sub-Account and, therefore, your Contract Value.


<PAGE>



INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES:  The Variable Sub-Accounts


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You may allocate your purchase payments to up to 21 Variable Sub-Accounts.  Each
Variable  Sub-Account invests in the shares of a corresponding  Portfolio.  Each
Portfolio has its own investment  objective(s) and policies. We briefly describe
the Portfolios below.

For more complete  information  about each  Portfolio,  including the investment
objective(s),  expenses and risks associated with the Portfolio, please refer to
the  accompanying  prospectuses  for the Funds.  You should carefully review the
Fund prospectuses before allocating amounts to the Variable Sub-Accounts.

Amounts  you  allocate to Variable  Sub-Accounts  may grow in value,  decline in

investment risk that the Portfolios might not meet their investment  objectives.
Shares of the Portfolios are not deposits,  or obligations  of, or guaranteed or

<PAGE>



INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: The Fixed Account Option


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You may  allocate  all or a  portion  of your  purchase  payments  to the  Fixed
Account.  We are currently  offering only a Dollar Cost Averaging  Fixed Account
Option  ("Dollar  Cost  Averaging  Option"),   described  below.  We  may  offer
additional Fixed Account options in the future. The Dollar Cost Averaging Option
may not be available in all states.  Northbrook may also limit the  availability
of the Dollar Cost  Averaging  Option.  Please  consult with your Morgan Stanley
Dean  Witter  Financial  Advisor  for  current  information.  The Fixed  Account
supports our insurance and annuity  obligations.  The Fixed Account  consists of
our general assets other than those in segregated  asset accounts.  We have sole
discretion to invest the assets of the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law.
Any money you allocate to the Fixed Account does not entitle you to share in the
investment experience of the Fixed Account.


DOLLAR COST AVERAGING OPTION

You may establish a Dollar Cost Averaging  Program,  as described on page __, by
allocating  purchase  payments to the Dollar  Cost  Averaging  Option.  Purchase
payments  that you  allocate  to the  Dollar  Cost  Averaging  Option  will earn
interest  for up to a 1 year period at the current rate in effect at the time of
allocation.  We will credit interest daily at a rate that will compound over the
year to the annual  interest rate we guaranteed at the time of  allocation.  You
may not transfer  funds from other  investment  alternatives  to the Dollar Cost
Averaging Option.

The crediting rates for the Dollar Cost Averaging Option will never be less than
3% annually.

We may declare more than one interest rate for  different  monies based upon the
date of allocation to the Dollar Cost  Averaging  Option.  For current  interest
rate  information,  please  contact your Morgan  Stanley  Dean Witter  Financial
Advisor or our customer support unit at 1-800-654-2397.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES:  Transfers

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

During the  Accumulation  Phase,  you may transfer the Contract  Value among the
investment  alternatives.  You may not transfer  Contract  Value into the Dollar
Cost Averaging  Option.  You may request  transfers in writing on a form that we
provide or by telephone  according to the procedure described below. The minimum
amount  that you may  transfer  is $100 or the total  amount  in the  investment
alternative,  whichever is less.  We  currently  do not assess,  but reserve the
right to assess,  a $25  charge on each  transfer  in excess of 12 per  Contract
Year. We will notify you at least 30 days before we begin  imposing the transfer
charge. We treat transfers to or from more than one Portfolio on the same day as
one transfer.

We will process transfer  requests that we receive before 3:00 p.m. Central Time
on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation  Unit Values for that Date. We will
process  requests  completed  after 3:00 p.m.  on any  Valuation  Date using the
Accumulation Unit Values for the next Valuation Date. The Contract permits us to
defer  transfers  from the Fixed Account Option for up to 6 months from the date
we receive your request. If we decide to postpone transfers for 30 days or more,
we will pay  interest as required  by  applicable  law.  Any  interest  would be
payable  from the date we receive the  transfer  request to the date we make the
transfer.

We reserve the right to limit  transfers  among the Variable  Sub-Accounts if we
determine, in our sole discretion, that transfers by one or more Contract owners
would be to the disadvantage of other Contract owners. We may limit transfers by
taking such steps as:

o    imposing a minimum time period between each transfer,

o    refusing to accept  transfer  requests of an agent  acting under a power of
     attorney on behalf of more than one Contract owner, or

o    limiting the dollar amount that a Contract  owner may transfer  between the
     Variable Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account Option at any one time.

We may apply the  restrictions  in any  manner  reasonably  designed  to prevent
transfers that we consider disadvantageous to other Contract owners.

We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.


TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE

During the Payout Phase, you may make transfers among the Variable  Sub-Accounts
so as to change the relative  weighting of the  Variable  Sub-Accounts  on which
your  variable  income  payments  will be based.  In  addition,  you will have a
limited ability to make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the
proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments.  You may
not, however, convert any portion of your right to receive fixed income payments
into variable income payments.

You may not make any  transfers  for the first 6 months  after the Payout  Start
Date. Thereafter, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts or make
transfers  from the Variable  Sub-Accounts  to increase the  proportion  of your
income payments  consisting of fixed income payments.  Your transfers must be at
least 6 months apart.


TELEPHONE TRANSFERS

You may make  transfers by telephone  by calling  1-800-654-2397  if you have on
file a completed  authorization  form.  The cut off time for telephone  transfer
requests  is 3:00  p.m.  Central  Time.  In the  event  that the New York  Stock
Exchange closes early, i.e., before 3:00 p.m. Central Time, or in the event that
the  Exchange  closes early for a period of time but then reopens for trading on
the same day, we will process telephone transfer requests as of the close of the
Exchange on that particular day. We will not accept telephone  requests received
at any telephone  number other than the number that appears in this paragraph or
received after the close of trading on the Exchange.

We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege at any time
without notice.

We use  procedures  that  we  believe  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  the
telephone transfers are genuine.  For example,  we tape telephone  conversations
with  persons  purporting  to  authorize   transfers  and  request   identifying
information.  Accordingly,  we disclaim any liability for losses  resulting from
allegedly  unauthorized  telephone  transfers.   However,  if  we  do  not  take
reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone  authorization is valid, we may
be liable for such losses.


DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM

Through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may automatically  transfer a set
amount  every month (or other  intervals we may offer)  during the  Accumulation
Phase from any Variable  Sub-Account or the Dollar Cost Averaging  Option to any
Variable Sub-Account.  Transfers made through dollar cost averaging must be $100
or more.

We will not charge a transfer fee for  transfers  made under this  Program,  nor
will such  transfers  count  against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract
Year without paying a transfer fee.

The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts
are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less
than  the  average  of the unit  prices  on the same  purchase  dates.  However,
participation  in this Program does not assure you of a greater profit from your
purchases under the Program nor will it prevent or necessarily  reduce losses in
a declining market. Call or write us for information on how to enroll.


AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM

Once  you have  allocated  your  money  among  the  Variable  Sub-Accounts,  the
performance  of  each  Sub-Account  may  cause  a shift  in the  percentage  you
allocated to each Sub-Account. If you select our Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing
Program,  we will  automatically  rebalance the Contract  Value in each Variable
Sub-Account  and return it to the desired  percentage  allocations.  We will not
include  money  you  allocate  to the  Fixed  Account  Option  in the  Automatic
Portfolio Rebalancing Program.

We will  rebalance  your account each  quarter (or other  intervals  that we may
offer)  according  to your  instructions.  We will  transfer  amounts  among the
Variable Sub-Accounts to achieve the percentage allocations you specify. You can
change your allocations at any time by contacting us in writing or by telephone.
The new  allocation  will be effective  with the first  rebalancing  that occurs
after we receive your  request.  We are not  responsible  for  rebalancing  that
occurs prior to receipt of your request.

Example:

          Assume  that you want your  initial  purchase  payment  split  among 2
          Variable  Sub-Accounts.  You want 40% to be in the High Yield Variable
          Sub-Account and 60% to be in the Equity Growth  Variable  Sub-Account.
          Over the next 2 months the bond  market does very well while the stock
          market  performs  poorly.  At the end of the first  quarter,  the High
          Yield Variable Sub-Account now represents 50% of your holdings because
          of its  increase  in  value.  If you  choose  to  have  your  holdings
          rebalanced  quarterly,  on the first day of the next quarter, we would
          sell some of your units in the High Yield Variable Sub-Account and use
          the money to buy more units in the Equity Growth Variable  Sub-Account
          so  that  the  percentage  allocations  would  again  be 40%  and  60%
          respectively.

The  Automatic  Portfolio  Rebalancing  Program  is  available  only  during the
Accumulation  Phase.  The transfers  made under the Program do not count towards
the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject
to a transfer fee.

Portfolio   rebalancing  is  consistent  with  maintaining  your  allocation  of
investments among market segments,  although it is accomplished by reducing your
Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.

EXPENSES

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



As a Contract  owner,  you will bear,  directly or  indirectly,  the charges and
expenses described below.


MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

We deduct a mortality  and expense  risk charge daily at an annual rate of 0.60%
of the average daily net assets you have  invested in the Variable  Sub-Accounts
(0.73%  if you  select  either  the  Performance  Death  Benefit  Option  or the
Performance  Income  Benefit  Option,  and 0.84% if you select  the  Performance
Benefit  Combination  Option  or the  Death  Benefit  Combination  Option).  The
mortality  and expense risk charge is for all the insurance  benefits  available
with your  Contract  (including  our  guarantee  of annuity  rates and the death
benefits),  for certain  expenses of the  Contract,  and for  assuming  the risk
(expense risk) that the current  charges will not be sufficient in the future to
cover the cost of administering the Contract.  If the charges under the Contract
are not sufficient,  then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional  amount
for the Death  Benefit  Options and the  Performance  Income  Benefit  Option to
compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by providing these Options.

We guarantee the mortality and expense risk charge and we cannot increase it. We
assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation  Phase
and the Payout Phase.


ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE

We deduct an  administrative  expense charge daily at an annual rate of 0.10% of
the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts.  We
guarantee the administrative expense charge and we cannot increase it. We intend
this  charge to cover  actual  administrative  expenses.  There is no  necessary
relationship  between  the amount of  administrative  charge  imposed on a given
Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributed to that Contract.  We
assess this charge each day during the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.


TRANSFER FEE

We  do  not  currently   impose  a  fee  upon  transfers  among  the  investment
alternatives.  However,  we reserve the right to charge a $25 per transfer after
the 12th  transfer in each  Contract  Year. We will not charge a transfer fee on
transfers  that are part of a  Dollar  Cost  Averaging  or  Automatic  Portfolio
Rebalancing Program.


PREMIUM TAXES

Some  states  and other  governmental  entities  (e.g.,  municipalities)  charge
premium taxes or similar taxes.  We are  responsible  for paying these taxes and
will deduct them from your Contract Value.  Some of these taxes are due when the
Contract is issued, others are due when income payments begin or upon surrender.
Our  current  practice  is not to charge  anyone for these  taxes  until  income
payments begin or when a total withdrawal  occurs including  payment upon death.
At our  discretion,  we may  discontinue  this practice and deduct premium taxes
from  the  purchase  payments.  Premium  taxes  generally  range  from 0% to 4%,
depending on the state.

At the Payout Start Date, if applicable,  we deduct the charge for premium taxes
from each  investment  alternative in the proportion  that the Contract  owner's
value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.


DEDUCTION FOR VARIABLE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES

We are not currently  making a provision for taxes. In the future,  however,  we
may make a provision for taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion,  that we
will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Variable  Account.  We will
deduct  for any  taxes we incur as a result  of the  operation  of the  Variable
Account,  whether or not we previously made a provision for taxes and whether or
not it was  sufficient.  Our status under the  Internal  Revenue Code is briefly
described in the Statement of Additional Information.


OTHER EXPENSES

Each Portfolio  deducts  advisory fees and other  expenses from its assets.  You
indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares are held
by the  Variable  Sub-Accounts.  These fees and  expenses  are  described in the
accompanying  prospectuses for the Funds. For a summary of current  estimates of
those charges and expenses,  see pages above. We may receive  compensation  from
the investment  advisers or administrators of the Portfolios for  administrative
services we provide to the Portfolios.

The Preferred  Client  Variable  Annuity is offered only to  participants in the
Choice Account  Program.  The fees and expenses  associated with the Program are
separate  from and in  addition  to the fees and  expenses  associated  with the
Preferred Client Variable  Annuity.  You should consult your Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter Financial Advisor for details.



<PAGE>



ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



You can  withdraw  some or all of your  Contract  Value at any time  during  the
Accumulation Phase.  Withdrawals also are available under limited  circumstances
on or after the Payout Start Date. See "Income Plans" on page __.

You can  withdraw  money from the  Variable  Account  and/or  the Fixed  Account
Option.  The amount  payable upon  withdrawal is the Contract  Value (or portion
thereof)  next  computed  after we receive the request for a  withdrawal  at our
headquarters,  less any income tax  withholding,  penalty  tax,  and any premium
taxes.  To complete a partial  withdrawal  from the  Variable  Account,  we will
cancel  Accumulation  Units  in an  amount  equal  to  the  withdrawal  and  any
applicable  charges and taxes. We will pay withdrawals from the Variable Account
within 7 days of receipt of the  request,  subject  to  postponement  in certain
circumstances.

You  must  name  the  investment  alternative  from  which  you are  taking  the
withdrawal.  If none is named,  then the  withdrawal  request is incomplete  and
cannot be honored.  In general,  you must withdraw at least $500 at a time.  You
also may withdraw a lesser amount if you are withdrawing your entire interest in
a Variable Sub-Account.

We impose no  withdrawal  charge for  withdrawals  out of the  Preferred  Client
Variable Annuity. However, withdrawals, including withdrawals made to pay all or
part of any fee associated with the Choice Account Program,  also may be subject
to income  tax and a 10%  penalty  tax,  as  described  in  "Taxes,"  below.  In
addition,  a charge  may apply if your  decide to no longer  participate  in the
Choice  Account  Program.  You should  consult  your Morgan  Stanley Dean Witter
Financial advisor for details.

The total amount paid at surrender  may be more or less than the total  purchase
payments due to prior withdrawals, any deductions, and investment performance.


POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable  Account  under
the Contract if:

         1) The New York Stock  Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends
         or holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;

         2) An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or

         3) The SEC permits delay for your protection.

In addition,  we may delay  payments or transfers  from the Fixed Account Option
for up to 6 months or shorter  period if required by law. If we delay payment or
transfer  for 30 days or more,  we will pay  interest as required by  applicable
law.  Any  interest  would be payable  from the date we receive  the  withdrawal
request to the date we make the payment or transfer.


SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

You may choose to receive systematic  withdrawal  payments on a monthly basis at
any time prior to the Payout Start Date. The minimum  amount of each  systematic
withdrawal  is $100.  We will deposit  systematic  withdrawal  payments into the
Contract  owner's bank account or Morgan  Stanley  Dean Witter  Account.  Please
consult with your Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Financial Advisor for details.

Depending  on  fluctuations  in the value of the Variable  Sub-Accounts  and the
value of the Fixed Account  Option,  systematic  withdrawals  may reduce or even
exhaust the Contract  Value.  Income taxes may apply to systematic  withdrawals.
Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal.

We may  modify  or  suspend  the  Systematic  Withdrawal  Program  and  charge a
processing  fee  for  the  service.  If we  modify  or  suspend  the  Systematic
Withdrawal  Program,   existing  systematic  withdrawal  payments  will  not  be
affected.


MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE

If your request for a partial  withdrawal  would reduce your  Contract  Value to
less than $1,000,  we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract
Value.  Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value.
We will, however,  ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating
your  Contract.  If we terminate your  Contract,  we will  distribute to you its
Contract Value, less any applicable charges and taxes.




<PAGE>



INCOME PAYMENTS

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



PAYOUT START DATE

The Payout  Start Date is the day that money is applied to an Income  Plan.  The
Payout Start Date must be no later than:

o        the Annuitant's 90th birthday, or
o        the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later.


You may change the Payout  Start Date at any time by  notifying us in writing of
the change at least 30 days before the  scheduled  Payout  Start Date.  Absent a
change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.


INCOME PLANS

An  "Income  Plan" is a series of  payments  on a  scheduled  basis to you or to
another  person  designated  by you.  You may choose and change  your  choice of
Income Plan until 30 days before the Payout Start Date.  If you do not select an
Income Plan, we will make income  payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with
guaranteed  payments for 10 years. After the Payout Start Date, you may not make
withdrawals (except as described below) or change your choice of Income Plan.

Three  Income  Plans are  available  under the  Contract.  Each is  available to
provide:

o        fixed income payments;
o        variable income payments; or
o        a combination of the two.

The three Income Plans are:

         Income Plan 1 - Life Income with Guaranteed Payments.  Under this plan,
         we make periodic  income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant
         lives.  If the Annuitant dies before we have made all of the guaranteed
         income  payments,  we  will  continue  to  pay  the  remainder  of  the
         guaranteed income payments as required by the Contract.

         Income Plan 2 -- Joint and Survivor  Life Income.  Under this plan,  we
         make  periodic  income  payments for as long as either the Annuitant or
         the joint Annuitant is alive.

         Income Plan 3 --  Guaranteed  Payments for a Specified  Period (5 to 30
         Years).  Under this plan,  we make  periodic  income  payments  for the
         period you have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant's
         life.  We will deduct the  mortality  and expense  risk charge from the
         assets of the Variable Account  supporting this Income Plan even though
         we may not bear any mortality risk.

The length of any  guaranteed  payment  period under your  selected  Income Plan
generally  will affect the dollar amounts of each income  payment.  As a general
rule, longer guarantee periods result in lower income payments, all other things
being equal. For example, if you choose an Income Plan with payments that depend
on the life of the Annuitant but with no minimum specified period for guaranteed
payments, the income payments generally will be greater than the income payments
made under the same Income Plan with a minimum  specified  period for guaranteed
payments.

We may make other Income Plans  available  including  ones that you and we agree
upon. You may obtain information about them by writing or calling us.

If you choose  Income Plan 1 or 2, or, if  available,  another  Income Plan with
payments that continue for the life of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant,  we may
require proof of age and sex of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant before starting
income payments,  and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is still alive
before we make each payment.  Please note that under such Income  Plans,  if you
elect to take no minimum  guaranteed  payments,  it is  possible  that the payee
could receive only 1 income  payment if the  Annuitant  and any joint  Annuitant
both die before the second income payment, or only 2 income payments if they die
before the third income payment, and so on.

Generally,  you may not make  withdrawals  after  the  Payout  Start  Date.  One
exception to this rule applies if you are  receiving  variable  income  payments
that do not depend on the life of the  Annuitant  (such as under Income Plan 3).
In that case you may  terminate  the  Variable  Account  portion  of the  income
payments at any time and  receive a lump sum equal to the  present  value of the
remaining  variable  payments  due.

You may  apply  your  Contract  Value to an  Income  Plan.  If you  elected  the
Performance  Income Benefit  Option,  you may be able to apply an amount greater
than your Contract Value to an Income Plan. You must apply at least the Contract
Value in the Fixed  Account  Option on the  Payout  Start  Date to fixed  income
payments.  If you wish to apply any portion of your Fixed Account Option balance
to provide  variable  income  payments,  you should plan ahead and transfer that
amount to the Variable  Sub-Accounts  prior to the Payout Start Date.  If you do
not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and variable  income
payments,  we will apply your Contract Value in the Variable Account to variable
income  payments and your Contract  Value in the Fixed  Account  Option to fixed
income payments.

We will apply your Contract Value, less applicable taxes, to your Income Plan on
the Payout Start Date. If the amount  available to apply under an Income Plan is
less than $2,000,  or not enough to provide an initial  payment of at least $20,
and state law permits, we may:

o    terminate the Contract and pay you the Contract Value,  less any applicable
     taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments you have chosen, or

o    we may reduce the  frequency of your  payments so that each payment will be
     at least $20.


VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS

The amount of your variable income payments depends upon the investment  results
of the Variable  Sub-Accounts you select, the premium taxes you pay, the age and
sex of the  Annuitant,  and the Income Plan you choose.  We  guarantee  that the
payments  will not be affected by (a) actual  mortality  experience  and (b) the
amount of our administration expenses.

We cannot  predict  the total  amount of your  variable  income  payments.  Your
variable income  payments may be more or less than your total purchase  payments
because (a) variable  income  payments vary with the  investment  results of the
underlying  Portfolios,  and (b) the Annuitant could live longer or shorter than
we expect based on the tables we use.

In calculating the amount of the periodic  payments in the annuity tables in the
Contract,  we  assumed  an  annual  investment  rate of 3%.  If the  actual  net
investment  return of the  Variable  Sub-Accounts  you  choose is less than this
assumed investment rate, then the dollar amount of your variable income payments
will decrease. The dollar amount of your variable income payments will increase,
however,  if the actual net  investment  return  exceeds the assumed  investment
rate. The dollar amount of the variable  income  payments stays level if the net
investment  return  equals the  assumed  investment  rate.  Please  refer to the
Statement of Additional  Information for more detailed  information as to how we
determine variable income payments.


FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS

We guarantee  income payment  amounts  derived from any Fixed Account Option for
the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:

         1)  deducting any applicable premium tax; and


         2)  applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate
             value from the income  payment  table in your  Contract or (b) such
             other value as we are offering at that time.

We may defer making fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or such
shorter time state law may require. If we defer payments for 30 days or more, we
will pay  interest as  required  by law from the date we receive the  withdrawal
request to the date we make payment.


PERFORMANCE INCOME BENEFIT

The Performance Income Benefit is an optional benefit that you may elect. On the
date we issue the rider for this benefit ("Rider Date"),  the Performance Income
Benefit is equal to the Contract  Value. On each Contract  Anniversary,  we will
recalculate  your  Performance  Income  Benefit  to equal  the  greater  of your
Contract Value on that date or the most recently  calculated  Performance Income
Benefit.  We will also recalculate your Performance  Income Benefit whenever you
make an additional purchase payment or a partial withdrawal. Additional purchase
payments  will  increase  the  Performance  Income  Benefit   dollar-for-dollar.
Withdrawals  will reduce the  Performance  Income Benefit by an amount equal to:
(i) the  Performance  Income Benefit just before the  withdrawal,  multiplied by
(ii) the ratio of the  withdrawal  amount to the Contract  Value just before the
withdrawal.

In the absence of any withdrawals or purchase  payments,  the Performance Income
Benefit  will be the  greatest of the  Contract  Value on the Rider Date and all
Contract Anniversary Contract Values on or prior to the Payout Start Date.

We will recalculate the Performance  Income Benefit as described above until the
oldest  Contract  owner or  Annuitant  (if the  Contract  owner is not a natural
person)  attains age 85. After age 85, we will only  recalculate the Performance
Income Benefit to reflect additional purchase payments and withdrawals. You must
exercise the benefit by age 90.

To exercise  your  Performance  Income  Benefit,  you must apply it to an Income
Plan.  The  Payout  Start  Date you  select  must  begin on or after  your tenth
Contract  Anniversary,  after  electing the benefit,  and within 30 days after a
Contract  Anniversary.  In  addition,  you must  apply your  Performance  Income
Benefit to an Income Plan that provides  guaranteed payments for either a single
or joint life for at least:

1)   10 years,  if the  youngest  Annuitant's  age is 80 or less on the date you
     apply the Benefit, or

2)   5 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is greater than 80 on the date you
     apply the Benefit.

If your current  Contract Value is higher than the  Performance  Income Benefit,
you can apply the Contract  Value to any Income  Plan.  The  Performance  Income
Benefit may not be available in all states.

At present, we do not permit you to simultaneously  elect the Performance Income
Benefit and the Death Benefit  Combination  Option. We do, however,  reserve the
right to do so in the future.


CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Contracts  offered by this  prospectus  contain  income  payment tables that
provide  for  different  payments  to men and women of the same  age,  except in
states that require  unisex  tables.  We reserve the right to use income payment
tables that do not  distinguish  on the basis of sex to the extent  permitted by
law. In certain employment-related situations,  employers are required by law to
use the same  income  payment  tables  for men and  women.  Accordingly,  if the
Contract is to be used in connection  with an  employment-related  retirement or
benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you should
consult  with  legal  counsel  as to  whether  the  purchase  of a  Contract  is
appropriate.




<PAGE>



DEATH BENEFITS

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We will pay a death benefit if, prior to the Payout Start Date:

          1)      any Contract owner dies, or
          2)      the Annuitant dies.


We  will  pay  the  death  benefit  to the  new  Contract  owner  as  determined
immediately  after  the  death.  The new  Contract  owner  would be a  surviving
Contract  owner or,  if none,  the  Beneficiary.  In the case of the death of an
Annuitant, we will pay the death benefit to the current Contract owner.

A request for payment of the death benefit must include "Due Proof of Death." We
will accept the following documentation as Due Proof of Death:

o    a certified copy of a death certificate,

o    a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
     finding of death, or

o    any other proof acceptable to us.


Death Benefit Amount

Prior to the Payout Start Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:

     1)   the Contract Value as of the date we determine the death benefit, or

     2)   the sum of all  purchase  payments  made less any amounts  deducted in
          connection with partial withdrawals  (including any applicable premium
          taxes), or

     3)   the Contract Value on the most recent Death Benefit  Anniversary prior
          to the date we determine the death benefit, plus any purchase payments
          and  less  any  amounts   deducted  in  connection  with  any  partial
          withdrawals since that Death Benefit Anniversary.

A "Death Benefit Anniversary" is every 6th Contract  Anniversary  beginning with
the 6th Contract  Anniversary.  For  example,  the 6th,  12th and 18th  Contract
Anniversaries are the first three Death Benefit Anniversaries.

We will  determine the value of the death benefit as of the end of the Valuation
Date on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit. If
we receive a request  after 3 p.m.  Central  Time on a Valuation  Date,  we will
process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.


Death Benefit Options

The Performance  Death Benefit,  the Performance  Benefit  Combination,  and the
Death Benefit  Combination  Options are optional benefits that you may elect. If
the Contract owner is a natural person, these Options apply only on the death of
the Contract owner. If the Contract owner is not a natural person, these Options
apply only on the death of the  Annuitant.  For  Contracts  with a death benefit
option,  the death benefit will be the greater of (1) through (3) above,  or (4)
the death  benefit  option you selected.  The death  benefit  options may not be
available in all states.

Performance  Death Benefit Option.  The Performance Death Benefit on the date we
issue the rider for this option ("Rider  Date") is equal to the Contract  Value.
On each Contract Anniversary, we will recalculate your Performance Death Benefit
to equal the greater of your  Contract  Value on that date, or the most recently
calculated  Performance Death Benefit. We also will recalculate your Performance
Death  Benefit  whenever you make an  additional  purchase  payment or a partial
withdrawal.  Additional  purchase  payments will increase the Performance  Death
Benefit dollar-for-dollar. Withdrawals will reduce the Performance Death Benefit
by an amount equal to: (i) the Performance Death Benefit  immediately before the
withdrawal,  multiplied  by (ii)  the  ratio  of the  withdrawal  amount  to the
Contract Value just before the withdrawal.  In the absence of any withdrawals or
purchase  payments,  the  Performance  Death Benefit will be the greatest of the
Contract Value on the Rider Date and all Contract Anniversary Contract Values on
or before the date we calculate the death benefit.

We will  recalculate the Performance  Death Benefit as described above until the
oldest  Contract owner (the  Annuitant,  if the owner is not a natural  person),
attains age 85. After age 85, we will recalculate the Performance  Death Benefit
only to reflect additional purchase payments and withdrawals.

Death Benefit  Combination  Option. If you select the Death Benefit  Combination
Option,  the death  benefit  payable  will be the greater of the death  benefits
provided  by the  Performance  Death  Benefit  or  the  Enhanced  Death  Benefit
described below. The Enhanced Death Benefit is only available  through the Death
Benefit  Combination Option. We sometimes refer to the Death Benefit Combination
Option as the "Best of the Best" death benefit option.

         Enhanced Death Benefit. The Enhanced Death Benefit on the date we issue
         the  rider for this  option  ("Rider  Date")  is equal to the  Contract
         Value.  On the first  Contract  anniversary  after the Rider Date,  the
         Enhanced Death Benefit is equal to the Contract Value on the Rider Date
         plus  interest  at an annual rate of 5% per year for the portion of the
         year since the Rider Date. On each subsequent Contract Anniversary,  we
         will  multiply  the  Enhanced  Death  Benefit as of the prior  Contract
         Anniversary by 1.05.  This results in an increase of 5% annually.

         We will  recalculate the Enhanced Death Benefit as described above, but
         not beyond  the  Contract  Anniversary  preceding  the oldest  Contract
         owner's (the  Annuitant,  if the owner is not a natural  person),  85th
         birthday.  For all ages, we will recalculate the Enhanced Death Benefit
         on each  Contract  Anniversary,  or upon receipt of a death  claim,  as
         follows:

o    We will reduce the Enhanced Death Benefit by the percentage of any Contract
     Value withdrawn since the prior Contract Anniversary; and

o    We will  increase the Enhanced  Death  Benefit by any  additional  purchase
     payments since the prior Contract Anniversary.

Performance  Benefit  Combination  Option.  You may elect the Performance  Death
Benefit in combination  with the Performance  Income  Benefit.  We call this the
"Performance Benefit Combination Option."

None  of  the  Enhanced  Death  Benefit,  the  Performance  Death  Benefit,  the
Performance Benefit  Combination,  or the Death Benefit Combination will ever be
greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any  nonforfeiture  laws which
govern the Contract.


Death Benefit Payments

If the new Contract owner is a natural person,  the new Contract owner may elect
to:

     1)   receive the death benefit in a lump sum, or

     2)   apply the death  benefit to an Income Plan.  Payments  from the Income
          Plan must begin within 1 year of the date of death and must be payable
          throughout:

          o    the life of the new Contract owner; or

          o    for a guaranteed  number of payments from 5 to 30 years,  but not
               to exceed the life expectancy of the [new] Contract owner.

Options 1 and 2 above are only available if the new Contract owner elects one of
these options within 180 days of the date of death. Otherwise,  the new Contract
owner will receive the Settlement Value. The "Settlement  Value" is the Contract
Value,  less premium tax. The Settlement Value paid will be the Settlement Value
next computed on or after the requested distribution date for payment, or on the
mandatory  distribution date of 5 years after the date of your death,  whichever
is earlier. We are currently waiving the 180 day limit, but we reserve the right
to enforce the limitation in the future.

In any event,  the entire value of the  Contract  must be  distributed  within 5
years  after the date of death  unless an Income  Plan is elected or a surviving
spouse continues the Contract in accordance with the provisions described below.

If the new Contract  owner is your  spouse,  then he or she may elect one of the
options listed above or may continue the Contract in the  Accumulation  Phase as
if the  death had not  occurred.  On the date the  Contract  is  continued,  the
Contract  Value will equal the amount of the death  benefit as  determined as of
the Valuation  Date on which we received Due Proof of Death (the next  Valuation
Date, if we receive Due Proof of Death after 3 p.m.  Central Time). The Contract
may only be continued once.

If the new Contract owner is corporation,  trust, or other  non-natural  person,
then the new Contract owner may elect, within 180 days of your death, to receive
the death benefit in lump sum or may elect to receive the Settlement  Value in a
lump sum within 5 years of death.  We are  currently  waiving the 180 day limit,
but we reserve the right to enforce the limitation in the future.

Death of Annuitant.  If any  Annuitant  who is not also the Contract  owner dies
prior to the  Payout  Start  Date,  the  Contract  owner  must  elect one of the
applicable options described below.

If the  Contract  owner is a natural  person,  the  Contract  owner may elect to
continue  the Contract as if the death had not  occurred,  or, if we receive Due
Proof  of  Death  within  180 days of the  date of the  Annuitant's  death,  the
Contract owner may choose to:

     1)   receive the death benefit in a lump sum; or

     2)   apply the death  benefit to an Income  Plan that must  begin  within 1
          year of the  date of  death  and must be for a  guaranteed  number  of
          payments  for a period  from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed  the life
          expectancy of the Contract owner.

If the  Contract  owner  elects to continue  the  Contract or to apply the death
benefit to an Income  Plan,  the new  Annuitant  will be the  youngest  Contract
owner, unless the Contract owner names a different Annuitant.

If the Contract owner is a non-natural  person,  the non-natural  Contract owner
may elect,  within 180 days of the  Annuitant's  date of death,  to receive  the
death benefit in a lump sum or may elect to receive the Settlement Value payable
in a lump  sum  within  5  years  of  the  Annuitant's  date  of  death.  If the
non-natural  Contract owner does not make one of the above described  elections,
the Settlement  Value must be withdrawn by the non-natural  Contract owner on or
before the mandatory distribution date 5 years after the Annuitant's death.

We are currently waiving the 180 day limit, but we reserve the right to enforce
the limitation in the future.

NORTHBROOK

Northbrook  is the issuer of the  Contract.  Northbrook is an Arizona stock life
insurance company organized in 1978. Northbrook is currently licensed to operate
in all states (except New York),  the District of Columbia,  and Puerto Rico. We
intend to offer the Contract in those  jurisdictions  in which we are  licensed.
Our headquarters are located at 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois, 60062.

Northbrook  is a wholly owned  subsidiary  of Allstate  Life  Insurance  Company
("Allstate Life"), an Illinois stock life insurance company.  Allstate Life is a
wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Allstate  Insurance  Company,  an  Illinois  stock
property-liability  insurance company.  All of the outstanding  capital stock of
Allstate Insurance Company is owned by The Allstate Corporation.

Northbrook  and Allstate  Life entered into a  reinsurance  agreement  effective
December 31, 1987. Under the reinsurance agreement,  Allstate Life reinsures all
of  Northbrook's  liabilities  under the Contracts.  The  reinsurance  agreement
provides us with  financial  backing from Allstate  Life.  However,  it does not
create a direct contractual relationship between Allstate Life and you. In other
words,  the obligations of Allstate Life under the reinsurance  agreement are to
Northbrook; Northbrook remains the sole obligor under the Contract to you.

Several   independent   rating  agencies   regularly   evaluate  life  insurers'
claims-paying ability, quality of investments,  and overall stability. A.M. Best
Company assigns A+ (Superior) to Allstate Life which automatically reinsures all
net business of Northbrook. A.M. Best Company also assigns Northbrook the rating
of A+(r)  because  Northbrook  automatically  reinsures  all net  business  with
Allstate Life.  Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services assigns an AA+ (Very
Strong)  financial  strength  rating  and  Moody's  assigns  an Aa2  (Excellent)
financial  strength rating to Northbrook.  Northbrook shares the same ratings of
its  parent,  Allstate  Life.  These  ratings  do  not  reflect  the  investment
performance of the Variable  Account.  We may from time to time advertise  these
ratings in our sales literature.


THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Northbrook  established  the Northbrook  Variable  Annuity  Account II on May 8,
1990. We have registered the Variable  Account with the SEC as a unit investment
trust.  The SEC does not  supervise the  management  of the Variable  Account or
Northbrook.

We own the assets of the Variable Account.  The Variable Account is a segregated
asset  account  under  Arizona  insurance  law.  That means we  account  for the
Variable Account's income,  gains, and losses separately from the results of our
other  operations.  It also means that only the assets of the  Variable  Account
that are in excess of the reserves and other Contract  liabilities  with respect
to the  Variable  Account  are  subject  to  liabilities  relating  to our other
operations.  Our obligations  arising under the Contracts are general  corporate
obligations of Northbrook.

The Variable Account consists of 21 Variable Sub-Accounts, each of which invests
in a corresponding  Portfolio. We may add new Variable Sub-Accounts or eliminate
one or more of them, if we believe marketing,  tax, or investment  conditions so
warrant. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account,
its Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios.  We may use the Variable Account to fund our
other annuity  contracts.  We will account  separately  for each type of annuity
contract funded by the Variable Account.


THE PORTFOLIOS

Dividends  and  Capital  Gain  Distributions.   We  automatically  reinvest  all
dividends and capital gains  distributions  from the Portfolios in shares of the
distributing Portfolio at their net asset value.

Voting  Privileges.  As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote
the shares of the Portfolios held by the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you have
allocated your Contract Value.  Under current law, however,  you are entitled to
give us  instructions on how to vote those shares on certain  matters.  Based on
our present view of the law, we will vote the shares of the  Portfolios  that we
hold directly or  indirectly  through the Variable  Account in  accordance  with
instructions  that we  receive  from  Contract  owners  entitled  to  give  such
instructions.

As a general rule,  before the Payout Start Date,  the Contract  owner or anyone
with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting  instructions.  The
number of shares that a person has a right to  instruct  will be  determined  by
dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable  Sub-Account by
the net asset value per share of the  corresponding  Portfolio  as of the record
date of the  meeting.  After the Payout Start Date the person  receiving  income
payments has the voting interest. The payee's number of votes will be determined
by dividing the reserves for such Contract allocated to the applicable  Variable
Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the  corresponding  Portfolio as
of the record date of the  meeting.  The votes  decrease as income  payments are
made and as the reserves for the Contract decrease.

We will vote shares  attributable  to  Contracts  for which we have not received
instructions, as well as shares attributable to us, in the same proportion as we
vote shares for which we have received instructions, unless we determine that we
may vote such shares in our own discretion. We will apply voting instructions to
abstain  on any item to be voted  upon on a pro rata  basis to reduce  the votes
eligible to be cast.

We reserve the right to vote  Portfolio  shares as we see fit without  regard to
voting  instructions  to the extent  permitted  by law. If we  disregard  voting
instructions,  we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that
action in the next semi-annual financial report we send to you.

Changes in Portfolios.  We reserve the right,  subject to any applicable law, to
make additions to, deletions from or substitutions for the Portfolio shares held
by any  Variable  Sub-Account.  If the  shares of any of the  Portfolios  are no
longer  available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment,
further investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes
of the  Contract,  we may eliminate  that  Portfolio  and  substitute  shares of
another  eligible  investment  fund. Any  substitution of securities will comply
with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also may add new
Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in additional mutual funds. We will notify you
in advance of any change.

Conflicts of Interest.  Certain of the Portfolios  sell their shares to separate
accounts underlying both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts.
It is  conceivable  that in the future it may be  unfavorable  for variable life
insurance  separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in
the same  Portfolio.  The boards of  directors  or trustees of these  Portfolios
monitor for possible  conflicts  among  separate  accounts  buying shares of the
Portfolios.  Conflicts  could  develop  for a variety of reasons.  For  example,
differences  in treatment  under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate
account  to  comply  with such laws  could  cause a  conflict.  To  eliminate  a
conflict,  a  Portfolio's  board of directors or trustees may require a separate
account to withdraw its  participation  in a Portfolio.  A Portfolio's net asset
value could decrease if it had to sell  investment  securities to pay redemption
proceeds to a separate account withdrawing because of a conflict.


THE CONTRACT

The Contracts are distributed  exclusively by their principal underwriter,  Dean
Witter Reynolds Inc. ("Dean Witter").  Dean Witter, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Morgan  Stanley  Dean Witter & Co., is located at Two World  Trade  Center,  New
York, New York 10048. Dean Witter is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and
the National Association of Securities Dealers.

Administration.  We have primary  responsibility  for all  administration of the
Contracts  and the Variable  Account.  We provide the  following  administrative
services, among others:

o        issuance of the Contracts;
o        maintenance of Contract owner records;
o        Contract owner services;
o        calculation of unit values;
o        maintenance of the Variable Account; and
o        preparation of Contract owner reports.


We will send you Contract statements at least annually prior to the Payout Start
Date. You should notify us promptly in writing of any address change. You should
read your statements and confirmations  carefully and verify their accuracy. You
should contact us promptly if you have a question about a periodic statement. We
will   investigate   all   complaints   and  make  any   necessary   adjustments
retroactively,  but you must notify us of a potential  error within a reasonable
time after the date of the questioned  statement.  If you wait too long, we will
make the  adjustment  as of the date that we  receive  notice  of the  potential
error.

We also will provide you with additional periodic and other reports, information
and prospectuses as may be required by federal securities laws.


QUALIFIED PLANS

If you use the Contract with a qualified plan, the plan may impose  different or
additional  conditions or limitations on  withdrawals,  death  benefits,  Payout
Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract features. In addition,  adverse
tax consequences may result if qualified plan limits on distributions  and other
conditions are not met.  Please consult your  qualified plan  administrator  for
more information.


LEGAL MATTERS

Freedman,  Levy, Kroll & Simonds,  Washington,  D.C., has advised  Northbrook on
certain federal  securities law matters.  All matters of state law pertaining to
the Contracts, including the validity of the Contracts and Northbrook's right to
issue such Contracts under state insurance law, have been passed upon by Michael
J. Velotta, General Counsel of Northbrook.


YEAR 2000

Northbrook is heavily dependent upon complex computer systems for all phases of
its   operations,   including   customer   service,   and  policy  and  contract
administration.  Since many of  Northbrook's  older computer  software  programs
recognize  only the last two digits of the year in any date,  some  software may
fail to operate  properly  in or after the year  1999,  if the  software  is not
reprogrammed or replaced ("Year 2000 Issue").  Northbrook  believes that many of
its  counterparties  and suppliers also have Year 2000 Issues which could affect
Northbrook.  In 1995,  Allstate  Insurance  Company commenced a plan intended to
mitigate  and/or  prevent  the  adverse  effects  of  Year  2000  Issues.  These
strategies  include  normal  development  and  enhancement  of new and  existing
systems, upgrades to operating systems already covered by maintenance agreements
and modifications to existing systems to make them Year 2000 compliant. The plan
also includes Northbrook actively working with its major external counterparties
and suppliers to assess their compliance  efforts and  Northbrook's  exposure to
them.  Northbrook presently believes that it will resolve the Year 2000 Issue in
a timely manner, and the financial impact will not materially affect its results
of operations,  liquidity or financial position. Year 2000 costs are and will be
expensed as incurred.

TAXES

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The  following  discussion  is  general  and is  not  intended  as  tax  advice.
Northbrook  makes no guarantee  regarding  the tax  treatment of any Contract or
transaction involving a Contract.

Federal,  state,  local and other tax  consequences  of  ownership or receipt of
distributions under an annuity contract depend on your individual circumstances.
If you are concerned about any tax  consequences  with regard to your individual
circumstances, you should consult a competent tax adviser.

Taxation of Annuities in General

Tax Deferral.  Generally,  you are not taxed on increases in the Contract  Value
until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:

     1)   the Contract owner is a natural person,

     2)   the investments of the Variable  Account are "adequately  diversified"
          according to Treasury Department regulations, and

     3)   Northbrook is considered the owner of the Variable  Account assets for
          federal income tax purposes.

Non-natural  Owners.  As a general rule,  annuity contracts owned by non-natural
persons  such as  corporations,  trusts,  or other  entities  are not treated as
annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes.  The income on such contracts
is taxed as ordinary  income received or accrued by the owner during the taxable
year.  Please see the  Statement of Additional  Information  for a discussion of
several  exceptions  to the  general  rule for  Contracts  owned by  non-natural
persons.

Diversification  Requirements.  For a Contract  to be treated as an annuity  for
federal income tax purposes,  the  investments  in the Variable  Account must be
"adequately  diversified"  consistent with standards  under Treasury  Department
regulations.  If the  investments  in the  Variable  Account are not  adequately
diversified, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal
income tax  purposes.  As a result,  the income on the Contract will be taxed as
ordinary  income  received or accrued by the  Contract  owner during the taxable
year.  Although  Northbrook  does not have control over the  Portfolios or their
investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.

Ownership Treatment. The IRS has stated that you will be considered the owner of
Variable  Account assets if you possess  incidents of ownership in those assets,
such as the ability to exercise  investment control over the assets. At the time
the diversification  regulations were issued, the Treasury Department  announced
that the regulations do not provide guidance  concerning  circumstances in which
investor  control of separate  account  investments  may cause an investor to be
treated as the owner of the  separate  account.  The  Treasury  Department  also
stated that future  guidance  would be issued  regarding  the extent that owners
could direct  sub-account  investments  without  being  treated as owners of the
underlying assets of the separate account.

Your rights under the Contract are different than those  described by the IRS in
rulings  in which it found that  contract  owners  were not  owners of  separate
account  assets.  For  example,  you have the choice to  allocate  premiums  and
Contract  Values among more  investment  alternatives.  Also, you may be able to
transfer among  investment  alternatives  more  frequently than in such rulings.
These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Variable
Account. If this occurs,  income and gain from the Variable Account assets would
be includible in your gross income. Northbrook does not know what standards will
be set forth in any  regulations  or rulings which the Treasury  Department  may
issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department
could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract.  We reserve the right
to modify the  Contract  as  necessary  to  attempt  to  prevent  you from being
considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However,
we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.

Taxation of Partial and Full Withdrawals. If you make a partial withdrawal under
a  non-Qualified  Contract,  amounts  received  are  taxable  to the  extent the
Contract Value,  without regard to surrender charges,  exceeds the investment in
the Contract.  The  investment in the Contract is the gross premium paid for the
Contract minus any amounts previously received from the Contract if such amounts
were properly excluded from your gross income. If you make a partial  withdrawal
under a Qualified Contract, the portion of the payment that bears the same ratio
to the total payment that the  investment in the Contract  (i.e.,  nondeductible
IRA  contributions,  after tax  contributions  to qualified  plans) bears to the
Contract  Value,  is excluded  from your income.  If you make a full  withdrawal
under a non-Qualified Contract or a Qualified Contract, the amount received will
be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the investment in the Contract.

"Nonqualified   distributions"   from  Roth  IRAs  are   treated  as  made  from
contributions  first and are  included  in gross  income only to the extent that
distributions exceed contributions. "Qualified distributions" from Roth IRAs are
not included in gross income.  "Qualified  distributions"  are any distributions
made more than 5 taxable years after the taxable year of the first  contribution
to any Roth IRA and which are:

o    made on or after the date the individual attains age 59 1/2,

o    made to a Beneficiary after the Contract owner's death,

o    attributable to the Contract owner being disabled, or

o    for a first time home purchase  (first time home purchases are subject to a
     lifetime limit of $10,000).

If you transfer a non-Qualified Contract without full and adequate consideration
to a person  other  than  your  spouse  (or to a  former  spouse  incident  to a
divorce), you will be taxed on the difference between the Contract Value and the
investment in the Contract at the time of transfer. Except for certain Qualified
Contracts, any amount you receive as a loan under a Contract, and any assignment
or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of the Contract Value is treated as
a withdrawal of such amount or portion.

Taxation of Annuity Payments. Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity
payments received from a non-Qualified  Contract provides for the return of your
investment in the Contract in equal  tax-free  amounts over the payment  period.
The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the
amount  excluded  from income is determined  by  multiplying  the payment by the
ratio of the  investment  in the Contract  (adjusted  for any refund  feature or
period certain) to the total expected value of annuity  payments for the term of
the Contract.  If you elect variable annuity payments,  the amount excluded from
taxable  income is determined by dividing the  investment in the Contract by the
total number of expected  payments.  The annuity  payments will be fully taxable
after the total amount of the investment in the Contract is excluded using these
ratios.  If you die, and annuity  payments  cease before the total amount of the
investment in the Contract is recovered,  the unrecovered amount will be allowed
as a deduction for your last taxable year.

Taxation of Annuity Death  Benefits.  Death of a Contract owner, or death of the
Annuitant  if the  Contract  is  owned by a  non-natural  person,  will  cause a
distribution  of death  benefits  from a Contract.  Generally,  such amounts are
included in income as follows:

     1)   if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner
          as a full withdrawal, or

     2)   if distributed  under an annuity option,  the amounts are taxed in the
          same  manner  as an  annuity  payment.  Please  see the  Statement  of
          Additional  Information  for  more  detail  on  distribution  at death
          requirements.

Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable
amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified  Contract. The penalty
tax generally  applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age
59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:

     1)   made on or after the date the Contract owner attains age 59 1/2;

     2)   made as a result of the Contract owner's death or disability;

     3)   made in  substantially  equal  periodic  payments  over  the  Contract
          owner's life or life expectancy,

     4)   made under an immediate annuity, or

     5)   attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.

You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine if any other  exceptions
to the  penalty  apply  to your  situation.  Similar  exceptions  may  apply  to
distributions from Qualified Contracts.

Aggregation of Annuity Contracts.  All non-qualified  deferred annuity contracts
issued by Northbrook  (or its  affiliates) to the same Contract owner during any
calendar  year will be  aggregated  and  treated  as one  annuity  contract  for
purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution.


Tax Qualified Contracts

Contracts may be used as investments with certain qualified plans such as:

o    Individual Retirement Annuities or Accounts (IRAs) under Section 408 of the
     Internal Revenue Code ("Code");
o    Roth IRAs under Section 408A of the Code;
o    Simplified Employee Pension Plans under Section 408(k) of the Code;
o    Savings  Incentive  Match Plans for Employees  (SIMPLE) Plans under Section
     408(p) of the Code;
o    Tax Sheltered Annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code;
o    Corporate and Self Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans; and
o    State  and  Local   Government   and   Tax-Exempt   Organization   Deferred
     Compensation Plans.

Northbrook  reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use
with any of the qualified plans listed above.

In the case of certain  qualified  plans,  the terms of the plans may govern the
right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.

Restrictions  Under Section  403(b) Plans.  Section  403(b) of the Code provides
tax-deferred  retirement  savings plans for employees of certain  non-profit and
educational organizations.  Under Section 403(b), any Contract used for a 403(b)
plan  must  provide  that   distributions   attributable  to  salary   reduction
contributions made after December 31, 1988, and all earnings on salary reduction
contributions, may be made only:

     1)   on or after the date of employee

          o    attains age 59 1/2,
          o    separates from service,
          o    dies,
          o    becomes disabled, or

     2)   on account of hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may
          not be distributed on the account of hardship).

These  limitations do not apply to withdrawals  where  Northbrook is directed to
transfer some or all of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan.

Income Tax Withholding

Northbrook  is required to withhold  federal  income tax at a rate of 20% on all
"eligible rollover  distributions"  unless you elect to make a "direct rollover"
of  such  amounts  to an IRA or  eligible  retirement  plan.  Eligible  rollover
distributions  generally  include all  distributions  from Qualified  Contracts,
excluding IRAs, with the exception of:

     1)   required minimum distributions, or

     2)   a series of substantially  equal periodic  payments made over a period
          of at least 10 years, or,

     3)   over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and beneficiary).

Northbrook  may be required to withhold  federal and state  income  taxes on any
distributions from non-Qualified  Contracts or Qualified  Contracts that are not
eligible  rollover  distributions,  unless you notify us of your election to not
have taxes withheld.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We may advertise the performance of the Variable  Sub-Accounts,  including yield
and total  return  information.  Yield  refers  to the  income  generated  by an
investment  in a Variable  Sub-Account  over a specified  period.  Total  return
represents  the  change,  over a  specified  period of time,  in the value of an
investment in a Variable Sub-Account after reinvesting all income distributions.

All performance  advertisements will include, as applicable,  standardized yield
and total  return  figures that  reflect the  deduction  of  insurance  charges.
Performance advertisements also may include aggregate, average, year-by-year, or
other types of total return figures.

Performance  information for periods prior to the inception date of the Variable
Sub-Accounts  will be based on the historical  performance of the  corresponding
Portfolios for the periods  beginning with the inception dates of the Portfolios
and adjusted to reflect  current  Contract  expenses.  You should not  interpret
these figures to reflect actual historical performance of the Variable Account.

We may include in  advertising  and sales  materials  tax  deferred  compounding
charts and other  hypothetical  illustrations that compare currently taxable and
tax  deferred   investment   programs  based  on  selected  tax  brackets.   Our
advertisements  also may compare the  performance  of our Variable  Sub-Accounts
with: (a) certain unmanaged market indices, including but not limited to the Dow
Jones  Industrial  Average,  the Standard & Poor's 500, and the Shearson  Lehman
Bond Index;  and/or (b) other  management  investment  companies with investment
objectives  similar to the underlying  funds being  compared.  In addition,  our
advertisements   may  include  the  performance   ranking  assigned  by  various
publications,  including  the  Wall  Street  Journal,  Forbes,  Fortune,  Money,

ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR SUBSTITUTIONS OF INVESTMENTS

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We may add,  delete,  or substitute  the  Portfolio  shares held by any Variable
Sub-Account  to the  extent the law  permits.  We may  substitute  shares of any
Portfolio  with  those of  another  Portfolio  of the same or  different  mutual
Portfolio if the shares of the Portfolio are no longer available for investment,
or if we believe investment in any Portfolio would become  inappropriate in view
of the purposes of the Variable Account.

We will not substitute  shares  attributable to a Contract owner's interest in a
Variable  Sub-Account  until we have notified the Contract  owner of the change,
and until the Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the change, to the
extent such  notification and approval are required by law. Nothing contained in
this Statement of Additional Information shall prevent the Variable Account from
purchasing  other  securities for other series or classes of contracts,  or from
effecting a  conversion  between  series or classes of contracts on the basis of
requests made by Contract owners.

We also may establish  additional  Variable  Sub-Accounts  or series of Variable
Sub-Accounts.  Each additional  Variable  Sub-Account would purchase shares in a
new  Portfolio  of the same or  different  mutual  fund.  We may  establish  new
Variable  Sub-Accounts when we believe marketing needs or investment  conditions
warrant.  We  determine  the  basis  on  which we will  offer  any new  Variable
Sub-Accounts in conjunction with the Contract to existing  Contract  owners.  We
may  eliminate  one or more Variable  Sub-Accounts  if, in our sole  discretion,
marketing, tax or investment conditions so warrant.

We may, by appropriate endorsement,  change the Contract as we believe necessary
or appropriate to reflect any  substitution or change in the  Portfolios.  If we
believe the best  interests of persons  having voting rights under the Contracts
would be served,  we may operate the Variable  Account as a  management  company
under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 or we may withdraw  its  registration
under such Act if such registration is no longer required.

THE CONTRACT

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Contract is primarily  designed to aid  individuals  in long-term  financial
planning.  You can use it for  retirement  planning  regardless  of whether  the
retirement plan qualifies for special federal income tax treatment.


PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS

Dean Witter  Reynolds Inc., is the principal  underwriter and distributor of the
Contracts.  The offering of the Contracts is  continuous.  We do not  anticipate
discontinuing  the offering of the Contracts,  but we reserve the right to do so
at any time.


TAX-FREE EXCHANGES (1035 EXCHANGES, ROLLOVERS AND TRANSFERS)

We accept purchase payments that are the proceeds of a Contract in a transaction
qualifying for a tax-free  exchange  under Section 1035 of the Internal  Revenue
Code ("Code"). Except as required by federal law in calculating the basis of the
Contract,  we do not  differentiate  between Section 1035 purchase  payments and
non-Section 1035 purchase payments.

We  also  accept   "rollovers"  and  transfers  from  Contracts   qualifying  as
tax-sheltered  annuities ("TSAs"),  individual  retirement annuities or accounts
("IRAs"), or any other Qualified Contract that is eligible to "rollover" into an
IRA.  We  differentiate  among  non-Qualified  Contracts,  TSAs,  IRAs and other
Qualified Contracts to the extent necessary to comply with federal tax laws. For
example, we restrict the assignment, transfer, or pledge of TSAs and IRAs so the
Contracts will continue to qualify for special tax  treatment.  A Contract owner
contemplating  any such  exchange,  rollover or  transfer  of a Contract  should
contact a competent tax adviser with respect to the potential  effects of such a
transaction.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From time to time we may advertise the "standardized,"  "non-standardized,"  and
"adjusted historical" total returns of the Variable  Sub-Accounts,  as described
below.  Please remember that past performance is not an estimate or guarantee of
future  performance and does not necessarily  represent the actual experience of
amounts invested by a particular Contract owner.


STANDARDIZED TOTAL RETURNS

A Variable Sub-Account's standardized total return represents the average annual
total  return  of  that  Sub-Account  over  a  particular   period.  We  compute
standardized  total  return by finding  the annual  percentage  rate that,  when
compounded  annually,  will accumulate a hypothetical $1,000 purchase payment to
the  redeemable  value at the end of the one, five or ten year period,  or for a
period from the date of commencement of the Variable  Sub-Account's  operations,
if shorter than any of the foregoing. We use the following formula prescribed by
the SEC for computing standardized total return:

                               1000(1 + T)n = ERV

where:

         T        =    average annual total return

         ERV      =    ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment
                       made at the beginning of 1, 5, or 10 year periods or
                       shorter period

         n        =    number of years in the period

         1000     =    hypothetical $1,000 investment



The standardized total returns for the Variable Sub-Accounts available under the
Contract  for the  periods  ended  December  31,  1998  are set  out  below.  No
standardized total returns are shown for Money Market Variable Sub-Account.

The Preferred Client Variable Annuity Contracts were first offered to the public
as of the  date  of  this  Statement  of  Additional  Information.  Accordingly,
performance  figures for Variable  Sub-Accounts prior to those dates reflect the
historical  performance  of the Variable  Sub-Accounts,  adjusted to reflect the
current  level of charges  that  apply to the  Variable  Sub-Accounts  under the
Preferred Client Contracts.

Variable  Sub-Account  Inception Dates:  The Money Market,  Quality Income Plus,
High  Yield,   Utilities,   Dividend  Growth,  Equity  and  Strategist  Variable
Sub-Accounts  commenced  operations on October 25, 1990.  The Capital Growth and

NON-STANDARDIZED TOTAL RETURNS

From time to time, we may advertise the total return over  different  periods of
time by means of aggregate, average, year-by-year or other types of total return
figures.  The formula for computing such total return quotations  involves a per
unit change  calculation.  This  calculation is based on the  Accumulation  Unit
Value at the end of the defined period divided by the Accumulation Unit Value at
the  beginning  of  such  period,   minus  1.  The  periods   included  in  such
advertisements  are "year-to-  date" (prior  calendar year end to the day of the
advertisement);  "year to most recent  quarter"  (prior calendar year end to the
end of the most recent  quarter);  "the prior calendar  year"; " 'n' most recent
Calendar  Years";  and "Inception  (commencement  of the Variable  Sub-Account's
operation) to date" (day of the advertisement).



ADJUSTED HISTORICAL TOTAL RETURNS

We may  advertise  the  total  return  for  periods  prior to the date  that the
Variable  Sub-Accounts  commenced  operations.  We will calculate such "adjusted
historical  total returns"  using the  historical  performance of the underlying
Portfolios  and  adjusting  such  performance  to reflect the  current  level of
charges that apply to the Variable Sub-Accounts under the Contract.

The adjusted  historical  total  returns for the Variable  Sub-Accounts  for the
periods ended December 31, 1998 are set out below. No adjusted  historical total
returns are shown for the Money Market Variable  Sub-Account.

The following list provides the inception  date for the Portfolio  corresponding
to each of the Variable Sub-Accounts included in the tables.

Calculation of Accumulation Unit Values

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The value of Accumulation  Units will change each Valuation  Period according to
the investment  performance of the Portfolio  shares  purchased by each Variable
Sub-Account  and the  deduction of certain  expenses  and charges.  A "Valuation
Period" is the period from the end of one  Valuation  Date and  continues to the
end of the next  Valuation  Date. A Valuation  Date ends at the close of regular
trading on the New York Stock Exchange (currently 3:00 p.m. Central Time).

The Accumulation  Unit Value of a Variable  Sub-Account for any Valuation Period
equals the  Accumulation  Unit Value as of the immediately  preceding  Valuation
Period,  multiplied  by the Net  Investment  Factor  (described  below) for that
Variable Sub-Account for the current Valuation Period.


NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

The Net Investment  Factor for a Valuation  Period is a number  representing the
change,  since the last Valuation Period,  in the value of Variable  Sub-Account
assets per Accumulation  Unit due to investment  income,  realized or unrealized
capital  gain or loss,  deductions  for taxes,  if any, and  deductions  for the
mortality  and  expense  risk  charge  and  administrative  expense  charge.  We
determine  the Net  Investment  Factor  for each  Variable  Sub-Account  for any
Valuation  Period by dividing  (A) by (B) and  subtracting  (C) from the result,
where:

       (A) is the sum of:

               (1) the net asset value per share of the Portfolio underlying the
               Variable  Sub-Account  determined  at  the  end  of  the  current
               Valuation Period; plus,

               (2)  the  per  share  amount  of any  dividend  or  capital  gain
               distributions  made  by the  Portfolio  underlying  the  Variable
               Sub-Account during the current Valuation Period;

       (B) is the net  asset  value per share of the  Portfolio  underlying  the
       Variable  Sub-Account  determined  as  of  the  end  of  the  immediately
       preceding Valuation Period; and

       (C) is the  annualized  mortality  and  expense  risk and  administrative
       expense  charges  divided by the number of days in the  current  calendar
       year and then  multiplied  by the number of calendar  days in the current
       Valuation Period.

CALCULATION OF VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We calculate  the amount of the first  variable  income  payment under an Income
Plan by applying the Contract Value allocated to each Variable  Sub-Account less
any  applicable  premium tax charge  deducted at the time, to the income payment
tables in the  Contract.  We divide  the  amount of the first  variable  annuity
income payment by the Variable  Sub-Account's then current Annuity Unit value to
determine the number of annuity units ("Annuity  Units") upon which later income
payments will be based. To determine  income payments after the first, we simply
multiply the number of Annuity Units determined in this manner for each Variable
Sub-Account  by the then current  Annuity Unit value  ("Annuity Unit Value") for
that Variable Sub-Account.


CALCULATION OF ANNUITY UNIT VALUES

Annuity Units in each Variable  Sub-Account  are valued  separately  and Annuity
Unit  Values  will  depend  upon the  investment  experience  of the  particular
Portfolio in which the Variable  Sub-Account  invests.  We calculate the Annuity
Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account at the end of any Valuation Period by:

o    multiplying the Annuity Unit Value at the end of the immediately  preceding
     Valuation  Period  by the  Variable  Sub-Account's  Net  Investment  Factor
     (described in the preceding section) for the Period; and then

o    dividing the product by the sum of 1.0 plus the assumed investment rate for
     the Valuation Period.

     The assumed  investment  rate adjusts for the interest  rate assumed in the
income  payment tables used to determine the dollar amount of the first variable
income  payment,  and is at an  effective  annual rate which is disclosed in the
Contract.

     We determine the amount of the first variable  income payment paid under an
Income  Plan  using the income  payment  tables  set out in the  Contracts.  The
Contracts  include  tables  that  differentiate  on the basis of sex,  except in
states that require the use of unisex tables.

GENERAL MATTERS

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


INCONTESTABILITY

We will not contest the Contract after we issue it.


SETTLEMENTS

The Contract must be returned to us prior to any settlement. We must receive due
proof  of the  Contract  owner(s)  death  (or  Annuitant's  death  if there is a
non-natural Contract owner) before we will settle a death claim.


SAFEKEEPING OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS

We hold  title  to the  assets  of the  Variable  Account.  We keep  the  assets
physically  segregated and separate and apart from our general corporate assets.
We maintain  records of all purchases and  redemptions  of the Portfolio  shares
held by each of the Variable Sub-Accounts.

The Portfolios do not issue stock certificates.  Therefore, we hold the Variable
Account's  assets  in  open  account  in  lieu of  stock  certificates.  See the
Portfolios' prospectuses for a more complete description of the custodian of the
Portfolios.


PREMIUM TAXES

Applicable  premium tax rates depend on the Contract  owner's state of residency
and the  insurance  laws and our status in those states where  premium taxes are
incurred.  Premium  tax  rates may be  changed  by  legislation,  administrative
interpretations, or judicial acts.


TAX RESERVES

We do not establish capital gains tax reserves for any Variable  Sub-Account nor
do we deduct  charges for tax reserves  because we believe  that  capital  gains
attributable to the Variable  Account will not be taxable.  However,  we reserve
the right to deduct  charges to establish  tax reserves for  potential  taxes on
realized or unrealized capital gains.



<PAGE>



FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE FOLLOWING  DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE.  WE MAKE
NO  GUARANTEE  REGARDING  THE  TAX  TREATMENT  OF ANY  CONTRACT  OR  TRANSACTION
INVOLVING A CONTRACT.

Federal,  state,  local and other tax  consequences  of  ownership or receipt of
distributions  under an annuity contract depend on the individual  circumstances
of each person.  If you are concerned about any tax consequences  with regard to
your individual circumstances, you should consult a competent tax adviser.


TAXATION OF NORTHBROOK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Northbrook is taxed as a life insurance  company under Part I of Subchapter L of
the Internal  Revenue Code. Since the Variable Account is not an entity separate
from  Northbrook,  and its operations form a part of Northbrook,  it will not be
taxed separately as a "Regulated  Investment  Company" under Subchapter M of the
Code.  Investment  income and realized capital gains of the Variable Account are
automatically  applied to increase  reserves under the contract.  Under existing
federal income tax law, Northbrook believes that the Variable Account investment
income and  capital  gains will not be taxed to the extent  that such income and
gains are applied to increase  the  reserves  under the  contract.  Accordingly,
Northbrook  does not  anticipate  that it will  incur  any  federal  income  tax
liability  attributable to the Variable Account,  and therefore  Northbrook does
not intend to make  provisions  for any such taxes.  If  Northbrook  is taxed on
investment income or capital gains of the Variable Account,  then Northbrook may
impose a charge against the Variable Account in order to make provision for such
taxes.


EXCEPTIONS TO THE NON-NATURAL OWNER RULE

There are several  exceptions to the general rule that annuity contracts held by
a non-natural  owner are not treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax
purposes. Contracts will generally be treated as held by a natural person if the
nominal owner is a trust or other entity which holds the Contract as agent for a
natural person. However, this special exception will not apply in the case of an
employer who is the nominal owner of an annuity  contract under a  non-qualified
deferred  compensation  arrangement for its employees.  Other  exceptions to the
non-natural owner rule are: (1) contracts acquired by an estate of a decedent by
reason  of the death of the  decedent;  (2)  certain  qualified  contracts;  (3)
contracts  purchased  by employers  upon the  termination  of certain  qualified
plans;  (4) certain  contracts  used in connection  with  structured  settlement
agreements,  and (5) contracts  purchased with a single premium when the annuity
starting  date  is no  later  than a year  from  purchase  of  the  annuity  and
substantially  equal  periodic  payments  are  made,  not less  frequently  than
annually, during the annuity period.


IRS REQUIRED DISTRIBUTION AT DEATH RULES

In order to be considered an annuity  contract for federal  income tax purposes,
an annuity contract must provide:  (1) if any owner dies on or after the annuity
start date but before the entire interest in the contract has been  distributed,
the remaining  portion of such interest must be  distributed at least as rapidly
as under the method of  distribution  being  used as of the date of the  owner's
death;  (2) if any owner  dies  prior to the  annuity  start  date,  the  entire
interest in the contract will be distributed within five years after the date of
the  owner's  death.  These  requirements  are  satisfied  if any portion of the
owner's  interest  which is  payable  to (or for the  benefit  of) a  designated
beneficiary is distributed  over the life of such  beneficiary (or over a period
not  extending   beyond  the  life  expectancy  of  the   beneficiary)  and  the
distributions  begin  within  one  year of the  owner's  death.  If the  owner's
designated beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the owner, the contract may be
continued  with the  surviving  spouse  as the new  owner.  If the  owner of the
contract is a  non-natural  person,  then the  annuitant  will be treated as the
owner for purposes of applying the  distribution at death rules. In addition,  a
change in the  annuitant  on a contract  owned by a  non-natural  person will be
treated as the death of the owner.


<PAGE>



QUALIFIED PLANS

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The  Contract  may be used with several  types of  qualified  plans.  Northbrook
reserves the right to limit the availability of the contract for use with any of
the qualified  plans listed below.  The tax rules  applicable to participants in
such  qualified  plans  vary  according  to the type of plan and the  terms  and
conditions of the plan itself.  Adverse tax  consequences may result from excess
contributions,  premature  distributions,  distributions  that do not conform to
specified  commencement and minimum distribution rules, excess distributions and
in other  circumstances.  Contract  owners and  participants  under the plan and
annuitants and beneficiaries  under the Contract may be subject to the terms and
conditions of the plan regardless of the terms of the Contract.


IRAs

Section  408 of the  Code  permits  eligible  individuals  to  contribute  to an
individual  retirement  program known as an IRA. IRAs are subject to limitations
on the amount that can be  contributed  and on the time when  distributions  may
commence.  Certain  distributions  from other  types of  qualified  plans may be
"rolled  over" on a  tax-deferred  basis into an IRA. An IRA  generally  may not
provide  life  insurance,  but it may  provide a death  benefit  that equals the
greater  of the  premiums  paid and the  Contract's  Cash  Value.  The  Contract
provides a death benefit that in certain circumstances may exceed the greater of
the payments and the Contract Value. It is possible that the death benefit could
be viewed as violating the prohibition on investment in life insurance contracts
with the  result  that the  Contract  would  not be  viewed  as  satisfying  the
requirements of an IRA.


ROTH IRAs

Section  408A of the Code permits  eligible  individuals  to make  nondeductible
contributions to an individual retirement program known as a Roth IRA. Roth IRAs
are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time
when distributions may commence.  "Qualified  distributions"  from Roth IRAs are
not includible in gross income.  "Qualified distributions" are any distributions
made  more  than  five  taxable  years  after  the  taxable  year  of the  first
contribution  to the Roth  IRA,  and  which  are  made on or after  the date the
individual  attains age 59 1/2, made to a beneficiary  after the owner's  death,
attributable  to the owner  being  disabled  or for a first  time home  purchase
(first  time  home  purchases  are  subject  to a  lifetime  limit of  $10,000).
"Nonqualified  distributions" are treated as made from  contributions  first and
are  includible  in gross  income to the extent  such  distributions  exceed the
contributions  made to the Roth IRA.  The  taxable  portion  of a  "nonqualified
distribution" may be subject to the 10% penalty tax on premature  distributions.
Subject to certain limitations,  a traditional  Individual Retirement Account or
Annuity may be converted or "rolled over" to a Roth IRA. The taxable  portion of
a conversion or rollover  distribution  is  includible  in gross income,  but is
exempted from the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions.


SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS

Section  408(k) of the Code allows  employers to establish  simplified  employee
pension plans for their employees using the employees' IRAs if certain  criteria
are met.  Under these plans the employer  may,  within  specified  limits,  make
deductible  contributions  on  behalf  of  the  employees  to  their  individual
retirement annuities. Employers intending to use the Contract in connection with
such plans  should  seek  competent  advice.  In  particular,  employers  should
consider  that an IRA  generally  may not  provide  life  insurance,  but it may
provide a death  benefit  that equals the greater of the  premiums  paid and the
contract's  cash value.  The Contract  provides a death  benefit that in certain
circumstances may exceed the greater of the payments and the Contract Value.


SAVINGS INCENTIVE MATCH PLANS FOR EMPLOYEES (SIMPLE PLANS)

Sections  408(p)  and  401(k)  of the  Code  allow  employers  with 100 or fewer
employees to establish SIMPLE retirement plans for their employees. SIMPLE plans
may be structured as a SIMPLE retirement account using an employee's IRA to hold
the assets or as a Section  401(k)  qualified cash or deferred  arrangement.  In
general,  a SIMPLE plan  consists  of a salary  deferral  program  for  eligible
employees and matching or nonelective contributions made by employers. Employers
intending  to use the  Contract in  conjunction  with SIMPLE  plans  should seek
competent tax and legal advice.


TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES

Section  403(b) of the Code permits  public  school  employees  and employees of
certain types of tax-exempt organizations (specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the
Code) to have their employers  purchase annuity  contracts for them, and subject
to certain  limitations,  to exclude the purchase  payments from the  employees'
gross income.  An annuity  contract used for a Section  403(b) plan must provide
that  distributions  attributable to salary reduction  contributions  made after
12/31/88, and all earnings on salary reduction  contributions,  may be made only
on or after the date the employee  attains age 59 1/2,  separates  from service,
dies,  becomes  disabled  or on the  account  of  hardship  (earnings  on salary
reduction contributions may not be distributed for hardship).  These limitations
do not apply to withdrawals where Northbrook is directed to transfer some or all
of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan.


CORPORATE AND SELF-EMPLOYED PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS

Sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit  corporate  employers to establish
various types of tax favored  retirement plans for employees.  The Self-Employed
Individuals  Retirement Act of 1962, as amended,  (commonly referred to as "H.R.
10" or "Keogh")  permits  self-employed  individuals  to  establish  tax favored
retirement plans for themselves and their  employees.  Such retirement plans may
permit the purchase of annuity  contracts in order to provide benefits under the
plans.


STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

Section 457 of the Code  permits  employees of state and local  governments  and
tax-exempt organizations to defer a portion of their compensation without paying
current  taxes.  The  employees  must be  participants  in an eligible  deferred
compensation  plan. To the extent the  Contracts are used in connection  with an
eligible plan,  employees are considered  general  creditors of the employer and
the  employer as owner of the contract has the sole right to the proceeds of the
contract.  Generally,  under the non-natural owner rules, such Contracts are not
treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. Under these plans,
contributions  made for the benefit of the  employees  will not be includible in
the employees' gross income until  distributed from the plan.  However,  under a
Section 457 plan all the compensation deferred under the plan must remain solely
the  property  of the  employer,  subject  only to the claims of the  employer's
general  creditors,  until  such time as made  available  to the  employee  or a
beneficiary.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDER OF
NORTHBROOK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY:

We have audited the accompanying  Statements of Financial Position of Northbrook
Life Insurance Company (the "Company", an affiliate of The Allstate Corporation)
as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the related  Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income,  Shareholder's Equity and Cash Flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1998.  Our audits also included  Schedule
IV - Reinsurance.  These financial  statements and financial  statement schedule
are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express  an  opinion  on these  financial  statements  and  financial  statement
schedule 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,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the  financial  position of the  Company as of December  31, 1998 and
1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1998 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, Schedule IV - Reinsurance,
when considered in relation to the basic financial  statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

                        NORTHBROOK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                ($ IN THOUSANDS)

1.    GENERAL

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying  financial  statements  include the accounts of Northbrook Life
Insurance  Company (the  "Company"),  a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life
Insurance Company ("ALIC"),  which is wholly owned by Allstate Insurance Company
("AIC"),   a  wholly  owned   subsidiary  of  The  Allstate   Corporation   (the
"Corporation"). These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

To conform  with the 1998  presentation,  certain  amounts  in the prior  years'
financial statements and notes have been reclassified.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company markets savings products and life insurance exclusively through Dean
Witter Reynolds Inc. ("Dean Witter") (see Note 4), a wholly owned  subsidiary of
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. Savings products include deferred annuities, such as
variable  annuities and fixed rate single and flexible  premium  annuities,  and
immediate  annuities.  Life insurance  includes universal life and variable life
products.  In 1998,  substantially all of the Company's  statutory  premiums and
deposits were from annuities.  The Company  re-domesticated  its operations from
Illinois to Arizona in 1998.

Annuity contracts and life insurance  policies issued by the Company are subject
to  discretionary  surrenders or withdrawal by customers,  subject to applicable
surrender  charges.  These  policies and contracts are reinsured  primarily with
ALIC (see Note 3),  which  invests  premiums  and deposits to provide cash flows
that will be used to fund future benefits and expenses.

The  Company  monitors  economic  and  regulatory  developments  which  have the
potential to impact its  business.  There  continues to be proposed  federal and
state  regulation  and  legislation  that, if passed,  would allow banks greater
participation in securities and insurance businesses.  Such events would present
an  increased  level  of  competition  for  sales  of  the  Company's  products.
Furthermore,  the market for  deferred  annuities  and  interest-sensitive  life
insurance is enhanced by the tax  incentives  available  under  current law. Any
legislative  changes  which lessen  these  incentives  are likely to  negatively
impact the demand for these products.

Additionally,  traditional  demutualizations  of mutual insurance  companies and
enacted and pending state  legislation to permit mutual  insurance  companies to
convert to a hybrid  structure  known as a mutual  holding  company could have a
number  of  significant  effects  on  the  Company  by (1)  increasing  industry
competition through  consolidation caused by mergers and acquisitions related to
the new  corporate  form of  business;  and (2)  increasing  competition  in the
capital markets.

The Company is authorized to sell life and savings products in all states except
New York,  as well as in the  District  of  Columbia  and Puerto  Rico.  The top
geographic  locations  for  statutory  premiums and deposits for the Company are
California,  Florida and Texas for the year ended  December 31,  1998.  No other
jurisdiction  accounted  for more than 5% of statutory  premiums  and  deposits.
Substantially  all premiums  and  deposits  are ceded to ALIC under  reinsurance
agreements.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVESTMENTS
Fixed income securities include bonds and mortgage-backed  securities. All fixed
income  securities  are  carried  at fair  value and may be sold  prior to their
contractual  maturity  ("available for sale").  The difference between amortized
cost and fair value,  net of deferred  income taxes, is reflected as a component
of shareholder's equity.  Provisions are recognized for declines in the value of
fixed income  securities  that are other than  temporary.  Such  writedowns  are
included  in  realized  capital  gains and losses.  Short-term  investments  are
carried at cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Investment  income  consists  primarily of interest and  dividends on short-term
investments.  Interest  is  recognized  on an accrual  basis and  dividends  are
recorded at the ex-dividend date. Interest income on mortgage-backed  securities
is determined on the effective  yield method,  based on the estimated  principal
repayments.  Accrual of income is suspended for fixed income securities that are
in  default or when the  receipt  of  interest  payments  is in doubt.  Realized
capital gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis.

REINSURANCE
The Company has  reinsurance  agreements  whereby  substantially  all  premiums,
contract charges,  credited  interest,  policy benefits and certain expenses are
ceded to  ALIC.  Such  amounts  are  reflected  net of such  reinsurance  in the
statements  of operations  and  comprehensive  income.  The amounts shown in the
Company's  statements  of  operations  and  comprehensive  income  relate to the
investment  of  those  assets  of the  Company  that are not  transferred  under
reinsurance  agreements.  Reinsurance  recoverable  and the related  reserve for
life-contingent   contract  benefits  and  contractholder   funds  are  reported
separately in the  statements of financial  position.  The Company  continues to
have primary liability as the direct insurer for risks reinsured.

RECOGNITION OF PREMIUM REVENUES AND CONTRACT CHARGES
Revenues on universal  life-type contracts are comprised of contract charges and
fees, and are recognized when assessed against the policyholder account balance.
Revenues on investment  contracts include contract charges and fees for contract
administration and surrenders. These revenues are recognized when levied against
the contract  balance.  All premium  revenues and contract charges are primarily
reinsured with ALIC.

INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision is calculated  under the liability method and presented
net of  reinsurance.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are recorded based on
the  difference  between  the  financial  statement  and tax bases of assets and
liabilities  at  the  enacted  tax  rates.  Deferred  income  taxes  arise  from
unrealized  capital gains and losses on fixed income securities  carried at fair
value and differences in the tax bases of investments.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
The Company issues flexible premium deferred  variable annuity and variable life
policies,  the  assets  and  liabilities  of which are  legally  segregated  and
reflected in the  accompanying  statements  of financial  position as assets and
liabilities of the Separate  Accounts.  The Company's  Separate Accounts consist
of: Northbrook Variable Annuity Account,  Northbrook Variable Annuity Account II
and  Northbrook  Life  Variable  Life  Separate  Account A. Each of the Separate
Accounts are unit investment  trusts registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The assets of the Separate Accounts are carried at fair value. Investment income
and realized  capital gains and losses of the Separate  Accounts accrue directly
to the  contractholders  and,  therefore,  are  not  included  in the  Company's
statements of operations and comprehensive income.  Revenues to the Company from
the Separate Accounts consist of contract maintenance fees, administration fees,
mortality and expense risk charges and cost of insurance  charges,  all of which
are reinsured with ALIC.

RESERVE FOR LIFE-CONTINGENT CONTRACT BENEFITS
The reserve for life-contingent  contract benefits,  which relates to structured
settlement  annuities  with  life  contingencies,  is  computed  on the basis of
assumptions as to future investment yields, mortality,  morbidity,  terminations
and expenses.  These  assumptions  include  provisions for adverse deviation and
generally vary by such  characteristics  as type of coverage,  year of issue and
policy duration. Reserve interest rates ranged from 4.00% to 11.00% during 1998.

CONTRACTHOLDER FUNDS
Contractholder funds arise from the issuance of individual or group policies and
contracts that include an investment  component,  including most fixed annuities
and universal life policies.  Payments received are recorded as interest-bearing
liabilities.  Contractholder  funds are equal to deposits  received and interest
credited  to the  benefit  of the  contractholder  less  withdrawals,  mortality
charges and  administrative  expenses.  During 1998,  credited interest rates on
contractholder  funds ranged from 3.46% to 11.00% for those contracts with fixed
interest rates and from 3.25% to 6.50% for those with flexible rates.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In 1998,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income."  Comprehensive income is a
measurement  of  certain  changes  in  shareholder's  equity  that  result  from
transactions   and  other   economic   events  other  than   transactions   with
shareholders.  For the Company, these consist of changes in unrealized gains and
losses on the investment portfolio (See Note 9).

In 1998,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  about Segments of an
Enterprise  and Related  Information."  SFAS No. 131  redefines how segments are
determined  and  requires  additional  segment  disclosures  for both annual and
interim  financial  reporting.  The  Company has  identified  itself as a single
operating segment.

                                       F-9


PENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 1997, the Accounting  Standards  Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position
("SOP")   97-3,   "Accounting   by   Insurance   and   Other   Enterprises   for
Insurance-related  Assessments."  The SOP is required to be adopted in 1999. The
SOP  provides   guidance   concerning   when  to   recognize  a  liability   for
insurance-related  assessments  and how those  liabilities  should be  measured.
Specifically,  insurance-related assessments should be recognized as liabilities
when all of the  following  criteria  have been met: 1) an  assessment  has been
imposed or it is  probable  that an  assessment  will be  imposed,  2) the event
obligating an entity to pay an assessment  has occurred and 3) the amount of the
assessment can be reasonably estimated.  The Company is currently evaluating the
effects of this SOP on its accounting for insurance-related assessments. Certain
information required for compliance is not currently available and therefore the
Company is studying  alternatives  for  estimating  the  accrual.  In  addition,
industry  groups are working to improve the information  available.  Adoption of
this  standard is not  expected to be material to the results of  operations  or
financial position of the Company.


3.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

REINSURANCE
The Company has  reinsurance  agreements  whereby  substantially  all  premiums,
contract charges,  credited  interest,  policy benefits and certain expenses are
ceded  to ALIC  and  reflected  net of such  reinsurance  in the  statements  of
operations  and  comprehensive  income.  The  amounts  shown  in  the  Company's
statements of operations  and  comprehensive  income relate to the investment of
those  assets  of  the  Company  that  are  not  transferred  under  reinsurance
agreements.  Reinsurance recoverable and the related reserve for life-contingent
contract  benefits  and  contracholder  funds  are  reported  separately  in the
statements  of  financial  position.  The  Company  continues  to  have  primary
liability as the direct insurer for risks reinsured.

Investment  income earned on the assets which support  contractholder  funds and
the  reserve  for  life-contingent  contract  benefits  is not  included  in the
Company's  financial  statements as those assets are owned and managed under the
terms of reinsurance agreements.  The following amounts were ceded to ALIC under
reinsurance agreements.

BUSINESS  OPERATIONS
The Company utilizes services  provided by AIC and ALIC and business  facilities
owned or leased, and operated by AIC in conducting its business activities.  The
Company reimburses AIC and ALIC for the operating expenses incurred on behalf of
the Company. The cost to the Company is determined by various allocation methods
and is primarily related to the level of services provided.  Operating expenses,
including  compensation and retirement and other benefit programs,  allocated to

respectively.  Of these costs, the Company retains  investment related expenses.
All other costs are ceded to ALIC under reinsurance agreements.

4.  EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

The  Company  and ALIC have a  strategic  alliance  with Dean Witter to develop,
market and distribute  proprietary  annuity and life insurance  products through
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Financial Advisors. Affiliates of Dean Witter are the
investment  managers  for the Morgan  Stanley  Dean Witter  Variable  Investment
Series, Morgan Stanley Universal Funds, Inc. and the Van Kampen American Capital
Life Investment  Trust,  the funds in which the assets of the Separate  Accounts

were on deposit with regulatory authorities as required by law.

6.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal  course of  business,  the  Company  invests in various  financial
assets and incurs various  financial  liabilities.  The fair value  estimates of
financial  instruments  presented  below are not  necessarily  indicative of the
amounts  the  Company  might  pay or  receive  in  actual  market  transactions.
Potential  taxes  and  other  transaction  costs  have  not been  considered  in
estimating fair value. The disclosures that follow do not reflect the fair value
of the Company as a whole  since a number of the  Company's  significant  assets
(including   reinsurance   recoverable)  and  liabilities  (including  universal
life-type  insurance  reserves and  deferred  income  taxes) are not  considered
financial  instruments  and are not  carried  at fair  value.  Other  assets and
liabilities considered financial instruments, such as accrued investment income,
are  generally  of a short-term  nature.  Their  carrying  values are assumed to
approximate fair value.

FINANCIAL ASSETS
The  carrying  value and fair value of  financial  assets at December 31, are as
follows:

                                  1998                      1997

                            -----         -----        -----       -----

Fixed income securities   $   86,336   $   86,336   $   76,402   $   76,402
Short-term investments         5,083        5,083        3,031        3,031

<PAGE>
                                       F-13


Fair values for fixed income  securities are based on quoted market prices where
available. Non-quoted securities are valued based on discounted cash flows using
current interest rates for similar securities. Short-term investments are highly
liquid  investments  with  maturities of less than one year whose carrying value
approximates fair value.  Separate Accounts assets are carried in the statements
of financial position at fair value based on quoted market prices.


FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The carrying  value and fair value of financial  liabilities at December 31, are
as follows:
                                    1998                      1997

Contractholder funds on
     investment contracts   $1,839,114   $1,814,684   $1,977,479   $1,951,214
Separate Accounts            7,031,083    7,031,083    5,719,203    5,719,203

The fair value of contractholder  funds on investment  contracts is based on the
terms of the  underlying  contracts.  Reserves on investment  contracts  with no
stated maturities  (single premium and flexible premium deferred  annuities) are
valued  at the  account  balance  less  surrender  charges.  The  fair  value of
immediate annuities and annuities without life contingencies with fixed terms is
estimated  using  discounted  cash flow  calculations  based on  interest  rates
currently  offered for  contracts  with similar  terms and  durations.  Separate
Accounts liabilities are carried at the fair value of the underlying assets.


7.    INCOME TAXES

The Company joins the Corporation and its other eligible  domestic  subsidiaries
(the "Allstate Group") in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return
and is party to a federal  income tax  allocation  agreement  (the "Allstate Tax
Sharing Agreement").  Under the Allstate Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company pays
to or receives from the  Corporation  the amount,  if any, by which the Allstate
Group's  federal  income tax liability is affected by virtue of inclusion of the
Company in the consolidated federal income tax return. Effectively, this results
in the Company's annual income tax provision being computed,  with  adjustments,
as if the Company filed a separate return.

Prior to Sears, Roebuck and Co.'s ("Sears")  distribution ("Sears distribution")
on  June  30,  1995  of  its  80.3%   ownership  in  the  Corporation  to  Sears
shareholders,  the Allstate  Group  joined with Sears and its domestic  business
units (the "Sears  Group") in the filing of a  consolidated  federal  income tax
return  (the  "Sears  Tax  Group")  and were  parties  to a federal  income  tax
allocation  agreement  (the "Tax  Sharing  Agreement").  Under  the Tax  Sharing
Agreement,  the Company,  through the Corporation,  paid to or received from the
Sears Group the amount,  if any, by which the Sears Tax Group's  federal  income
tax  liability  was  affected  by  virtue of  inclusion  of the  Company  in the
consolidated federal income tax return.

<PAGE>
                                       F-14


As a result of the Sears distribution, the Allstate Group was no longer included
in  the  Sears  Tax  Group,  and  the  Tax  Sharing  Agreement  was  terminated.
Accordingly,  the Allstate  Group and Sears Group entered into a new tax sharing
agreement,  which adopts many of the principles of the Tax Sharing Agreement and
governs their  respective  rights and obligations with respect to federal income
taxes for all periods prior to the Sears  distribution,  including the treatment
of audits of tax returns for such periods.

The Internal  Revenue  Service  ("IRS") has completed its review of the Allstate
Group's  federal  income tax returns  through the 1993 tax year.  Any adjustment
that may result from IRS  examinations of tax returns are not expected to have a
material impact on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of
the Company.

The components of the deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December 31,
are as follows:

                                              1998       1997

A  reconciliation  of the  statutory  federal  income tax rate to the  effective
income tax rate on income from  operations for the year ended December 31, is as
follows:

                                        1998        1997      1996
                                       ------      ------    ------

Statutory federal income tax rate       35.0%      35.0%      35.0%
Tax-exempt income                       (0.2)      (0.4)      (0.6)
Other                                    0.2        --        (0.2)
                                       ------     ------     ------
Effective income tax rate               35.0%      34.6%      34.2%
                                       ======     ======     ======

Prior to January 1, 1984,  the Company was entitled to exclude  certain  amounts
from taxable  income and  accumulate  such amounts in a  "policyholder  surplus"
account.  The balance in this account at December 31, 1998,  approximately  $16,
will result in federal income taxes payable of $6 if distributed by the Company.
No  provision  for taxes has been made as the Company has no plan to  distribute
amounts  from this  account.  No  further  additions  to the  account  have been
permitted since the Tax Reform Act of 1984.

8.       STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

PERMITTED STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
The Company  prepares its statutory  financial  statements  in  accordance  with
accounting  principles  and  practices  prescribed  or  permitted by the Arizona
Department of Insurance.  Prescribed  statutory  accounting  practices include a
variety of publications of the National  Association of Insurance  Commissioners
("NAIC"), as well as state laws,  regulations and general  administrative rules.
Permitted statutory  accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not
so prescribed.  The Company does not follow any permitted  statutory  accounting
practices that have a significant  impact on statutory  surplus or statutory net
income.

The NAIC's codification initiative has produced a comprehensive guide of revised
statutory accounting  principles.  While the NAIC has approved a January 1, 2001
implementation date for the newly developed  guidance,  companies must adhere to
the implementation date adopted by their state of domicile.  The Company's state
of domicile,  Arizona,  is continuing its comparison of codification and current
statutory  accounting  requirements to determine necessary revisions to existing
state laws and regulations. The requirements are not expected to have a material
impact on the statutory surplus of the Company.

DIVIDENDS
The ability of the Company to pay dividends is dependent on business conditions,
income, cash requirements of the Company and other relevant factors. The payment
of shareholder  dividends by the Company without the prior approval of the state
insurance  regulator  is  limited  to  formula  amounts  based on net income and
capital  and  surplus,   determined  in  accordance  with  statutory  accounting
practices,  as well as the timing and amount of dividends  paid in the preceding
twelve  months.  The maximum amount of dividends that the Company can distribute
during 1999 without  prior  approval of the Arizona  Department  of Insurance is
$3,518.

9.    OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The components of other comprehensive income on a pretax and after-tax basis for
the year ended December 31, are as follows:

10.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

REGULATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company's business is subject to the effects of a changing social,  economic
and regulatory  environment.  Public and regulatory  initiatives have varied and
have included employee benefit regulations, removal of barriers preventing banks
from  engaging  in the  securities  and  insurance  business,  tax  law  changes
affecting  the taxation of insurance  companies,  the tax treatment of insurance
products  and its  impact  on the  relative  desirability  of  various  personal
investment  vehicles,  and proposed legislation to prohibit the use of gender in
determining  insurance  rates and  benefits.  The ultimate  changes and eventual
effects, if any, of these initiatives are uncertain.

From time to time the Company is involved in pending and  threatened  litigation
in the normal  course of its business in which  claims for monetary  damages are
asserted. In the opinion of management,  the ultimate liability, if any, arising
from such pending or  threatened  litigation  is not expected to have a material
effect on the results of  operations,  liquidity  or  financial  position of the
Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Northbrook Life Insurance Company:

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of net  assets  of each of the
sub-accounts  ("portfolios" for purposes of this report), listed in the table of
contents,  that comprise Northbrook Variable Annuity Account II (the "Account"),
a Separate  Account of Northbrook  Life Insurance  Company,  an affiliate of The
Allstate  Corporation,  as of December 31, 1998,  and the related  statements of
operations and changes in net assets for the applicable periods indicated in the
table of contents.  These  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
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 audits 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. Our procedures included
confirmation  of  securities  owned at December 31, 1998. 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,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios,  listed in the table
of contents,  that comprise the Account as of December 31, 1998, and the results
of their  operations,  and the  changes  in  their  net  assets  for each of the
periods,  indicated  in the table of  contents,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

NORTHBROOK VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT II


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.   ORGANIZATION

     Northbrook  Variable Annuity Account II (the "Account"),  a unit investment
     trust  registered  with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  under the
     Investment  Company Act of 1940, is a Separate  Account of Northbrook  Life
     Insurance  Company  ("Northbrook  Life").  The  assets of the  Account  are
     legally segregated from those of Northbrook Life. Northbrook Life is wholly
     owned by Allstate  Life  Insurance  Company,  a wholly owned  subsidiary of
     Allstate  Insurance  Company,   which  is  wholly  owned  by  The  Allstate
     Corporation.

     Northbrook  Life issues two  variable  annuity  contracts,  the  Northbrook
     Variable  Annuity II and the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Variable Annuity II
     Asset  Manager,  the deposits of which are invested at the direction of the
     contractholder  in the sub-accounts  ("portfolios" for the purposes of this

28.  INDEMNIFICATION

The General Agency Agreement  (Exhibit 3(b)) has a provision in which Northbrook
Life agrees to indemnify Dean Witter Reynolds as Underwriter for certain damages
and  expenses  that  may be  caused  by  actions,  statements  or  omissions  by
Northbrook  Life. The Agreement to Purchase Shares contains a similar  provision
in paragraph 16 of Exhibit 12.

Insofar as  indemnification  for liability  arising out of the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the registrant
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 is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred by a
director,  officer or  controlling  person of the  registrant in the  successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling  person in connection with the securities being  registered,  the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of is 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.

THE PERSONS INVOLVED
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Owner  The  person  named  at the  time  of  application  is the  owner  of this
Certificate unless subsequently changed. As owner, you will receive any periodic
income payments, unless you have directed us to pay them to someone else.

You may exercise all rights stated in this Certificate, subject to the rights of
any irrevocable Beneficiary.

You may change the owner or  Beneficiary  at any time. If the Owner is a Natural
Person,  you may change the  Annuitant  prior to the Payout Start Date.  Once we
have  received a  satisfactory  written  request for an owner,  Beneficiary,  or
Annuitant  change,  the change will take effect as of the date you signed it. We
are not liable for any payment we make or other action we take before  receiving
any written request for a change from you.

You may not assign an interest in this Certificate as collateral or security for
a loan. However,  you may assign periodic income payments under this Certificate
prior to the Payout  Start  Date.  We are bound by an  assignment  only if it is
signed  by the  assignor  and  filed  with us.  We are not  responsible  for the
validity of an assignment.

If the sole surviving Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the Beneficiary
becomes the new Owner.  If the sole surviving  Owner dies after the Payout Start
Date,  the  Beneficiary  becomes the new Owner and will  receive any  subsequent
guaranteed income payments.

If more than one person is designated as Owner:

|X|  "Owner", as used in this Certificate, refers to all people named as Owners,
     unless otherwise indicated;

|X|  any request to exercise ownership rights must be signed by all Owners; and

|X|  on the death of any person who is an Owner,  the surviving  person(s) named
     as Owner will continue as Owner.


Annuitant The Annuitant is the person named on the Annuity Data Page, but may be
changed  by the  Owner,  as  described  above.  The  Annuitant  must be a living
individual.  If the  Annuitant  dies prior to the  Payout  Start  Date,  the new
Annuitant will be:

|X|      the youngest Owner; otherwise,

|X|      the youngest Beneficiary.


Beneficiary The Beneficiary is the person(s) named on the Annuity Data Page, but
may be  changed  by the  Owner,  as  described  above.  We  will  determine  the
Beneficiary  from the most recent written  request we have received from you. If
you do not name a Beneficiary,  or if the Beneficiary named is no longer living,
the Beneficiary will be:

|X|      your spouse, if living; otherwise

|X|      your living children, if any, equally; otherwise

|X|      your estate.

The  Beneficiary may become the Owner under the  circumstances  described in the
Owner provision above.

The Beneficiary may assign benefits under the  Certificate,  as described above,
once they are payable to the Beneficiary.  We are bound by an assignment only if
it is signed by the assignor and filed with us. We are not  responsible  for the
validity of an assignment.


<PAGE>




Natural  Person As used in this  Certificate,  "Natural  Person"  means a living
individual or trust entity that is treated as an individual  for Federal  Income
Tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code.


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ACCUMULATION PHASE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accumulation  Phase Defined The "Accumulation  Phase" is the first of two phases
during your Certificate.  The Accumulation Phase begins on the issue date of the
Certificate  stated on the Annuity Data Page. This phase will continue until the
Payout Start Date unless the Certificate is terminated before that date.


Certificate Year "Certificate  Year" is a one year period beginning on the issue
date of the Certificate and on each anniversary of the issue date.


Purchase  Payments  The initial  purchase  payment is shown on the Annuity  Data
Page. You may make subsequent  purchase payments during the Accumulation  Phase.
The number of purchase payments is unlimited.  The minimum  subsequent  purchase
payment  amount is $100.  We reserve  the right to reduce the  minimum  purchase
payment  amount.  We may limit the maximum  amount of purchase  payments we will
accept.

We will invest the purchase payments in the Investment  Alternatives you select.
You may allocate any portion of your purchase  payment in whole percents from 0%
to 100% to any of the Investment  Alternatives.  The total allocation must equal
100%.

The  allocation  of the initial  purchase  payment is shown on the Annuity  Data
Page.  Allocation of each  subsequent  purchase  payment will be the same as the
allocation  for  the  most  recent  purchase   payment  unless  you  change  the
allocation. You may change the allocation of subsequent purchase payments at any
time,  without charge,  simply by giving us written  notice.  Any change will be
effective at the time we receive the notice and will  reflect the next  computed
price.


Investment  Alternatives The "Investment  Alternatives"  are the Sub-accounts of
the Variable  Account and the Dollar Cost  Averaging  Fixed Account shown on the
application.  We reserve the right to limit the  availability  of the Investment
Alternatives.


Variable  Account The "Variable  Account" for this Certificate is the Northbrook
Variable  Annuity Account II. This account is a separate  investment  account to
which we allocate assets  contributed under this and certain other  certificates
and contracts.  These assets will not be charged with  liabilities  arising from
any other business we may have.


Variable  Sub-accounts The Variable Account is divided into  Sub-accounts.  Each
Sub-account  invests  solely in the shares of the mutual  fund  underlying  that
Sub-account.


Dollar Cost Averaging  Fixed Account  Purchase  payments may be allocated to the
Dollar Cost Averaging  Fixed Account.  Transfers are not allowed into the Dollar
Cost Averaging  Fixed Account.  Money in the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account
will earn interest at the annual rate in effect at the time of allocation to the
Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account.  After the one year period,  a renewal rate
will be declared.  Subsequent renewal dates will be every twelve months for each
purchase  payment.  Crediting  rates for the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account
will never be less than 3% annually.




<PAGE>



Transfers  Prior to the  Payout  Start  Date,  you may  transfer  amounts  among
Investment Alternatives.  You may make 12 transfers during each Certificate Year
without charge.  While we do not currently charge a transfer fee, we reserve the
right to assess a fee after the 12th  transfer.  Transfers  are  subject  to the
following restrictions.

|X|  The minimum amount that may be transferred  from an investment  alternative
     is $100;  if the total  amount in an  investment  alternative  is less than
     $100, then the entire amount may be transferred.

|X|  No amount may be transferred into the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account.

|X|  Transfers from the Dollar Cost  Averaging  Fixed Account or the Dollar Cost
     Averaging program do not count toward the 12 free transfers each year.

We  reserve  the  right to limit  transfer  amounts  among  Sub-accounts  of the
Variable Account if we determine,  in our sole discretion,  that the exercise of
that  right  by  one  or  more  Certificate  Owners  is,  or  would  be,  to the
disadvantage of other Certificate Owners.  Transfer limitations could be applied
to transfers to or from some or all of the  Sub-accounts  and could  include but
not be limited to:

|X|  The requirement of a minimum time period between each transfer;

|X|  Not   accepting   transfer   requests   of  an   agent   acting   under   a
     power-of-attorney on behalf of more than one Certificate Owner; or,

|X|  Limiting the dollar amount that may be transferred between the Sub-accounts
     by a Certificate Owner at any one time.

Such  restrictions may be applied in any manner  reasonably  designed to prevent
any  use  of  the  transfer  right  which  is  considered  by us  to  be to  the
disadvantage of other Certificate Owners.


Cash Value On the issue date of the  Certificate,  the "Cash  Value" is equal to
the initial purchase payment. After the issue date, the "Cash Value" is equal to
the sum of:

|X|  the  number  of  Accumulation  Units  you hold in each  Sub-account  of the
     Variable  Account  multiplied  by the  Accumulation  Unit  Value  for  that
     Sub-account on the most recent Valuation Date; plus

|X|  the total value you have in the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account.

If you withdraw  the entire Cash Value,  you may receive an amount less than the
Cash Value because income tax withholding and a premium tax charge may apply.


Valuation  Period and Valuation  Date A "Valuation  Period" is the time interval
between the  closing of the New York Stock  Exchange  on  consecutive  Valuation
Dates.  A "Valuation  Date" is any date the New York Stock  Exchange is open for
trading except for days in which there is  insufficient  trading in the Variable
Account's  portfolio  securities  such that the value of accumulation or annuity
units might not be materially  affected by changes in the value of the portfolio
securities.


Accumulation  Units and Accumulation  Unit Value Amounts which you allocate to a
Sub-account of the Variable Account are used to purchase  Accumulation  Units in
that Sub-account. The Accumulation Unit Value for each Sub-account at the end of
any Valuation Period is calculated by multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value at
the end of the immediately  preceding  Valuation Period by the Sub-account's Net
Investment Factor for the Valuation Period.  The Accumulation Unit Values may go
up or down. Additions or transfers to a Sub-account of the Variable Account will
increase the number of Accumulation  Units for that Sub-account.  Withdrawals or
transfers from a Sub-account of the Variable Account will decrease the number of
Accumulation Units for that Sub-account.




<PAGE>



Net Investment  Factor For each  Sub-account of the Variable  Account,  the "Net
Investment  Factor"  for a  Valuation  Period is (A)  divided by (B),  minus (C)
where:

(A)      is the sum of:

         (1)      the net asset  value per share of the mutual  fund  underlying
                  the Sub-account determined at the end of the current Valuation
                  Period, plus

         (2)      the  per  share   amount  of  any  dividend  or  capital  gain
                  distributions   made  by  the  mutual  fund   underlying   the
                  Sub-account during the current Valuation Period.

(B)      is the net asset  value per share of the  mutual  fund  underlying  the
         Sub-account  determined  as of the  end of  the  immediately  preceding
         Valuation Period.

(C)      is the sum of the  annualized  Administrative  Expense  Charge  and the
         annualized  Mortality and Expense Risk Charge  divided by the number of
         days in the current  calendar year and then multiplied by the number of
         calendar days in the current Valuation Period.


Charges The charges for this Certificate include Administrative Expense Charges,
Mortality and Expense Risk Charges, transfer fees, and taxes.


Administrative Expense Charge The annualized  Administrative Expense Charge will
never be greater than 0.10%. (See Net Investment Factor for a description of how
this charge is applied.)


Mortality  and Expense  Risk Charge The  annualized  Mortality  and Expense Risk
Charge  will never be  greater  than  0.60%.  (See Net  Investment  Factor for a
description of how this charge is applied.)

Our actual mortality and expense experience will not adversely affect the dollar
amount of variable benefits or other  contractual  payments or values under this
Certificate.


Taxes Any premium tax or income tax withholding relating to this Certificate may
be deducted from purchase payments or the Cash Value when the tax is incurred or
at a later time.


Withdrawal  You have the right to withdraw part or all of your Cash Value at any
time during the  Accumulation  Phase. A withdrawal must be at least $500. If any
withdrawal reduces the Cash Value to less than $1,000, we will treat the request
as a withdrawal of the entire Cash Value. If you withdraw the entire Cash Value,
the Certificate will terminate.

You must  specify the  Investment  Alternative(s)  from which you wish to make a
withdrawal.  When you make a withdrawal,  your Cash Value will be reduced by the
amount paid to you and any applicable taxes.


Death of Owner If you die prior to the Payout Start Date,  the new Owner will be
the surviving  Owner. If there is no surviving  Owner, the new Owner will be the
Beneficiary(ies). The new Owner will have the options described below:

1.   If the sole new Owner is your spouse:

     a.   Your spouse may elect,  within 180 days of the date of your death,  to
          receive the Death Benefit described below in a lump sum.



<PAGE>



     b.   Your spouse may elect,  within 180 days of the date of your death,  to
          receive an amount equal to the Death Benefit paid out under one of the
          Income Plans  described in the Payout Phase section.  The Payout Start
          Date must be within  one year of your date of death.  Income  Payments
          must be:

          i.   over the life of your spouse; or

          ii.  for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to
               exceed the life expectancy of your spouse.

     c.   If your  spouse  does not elect  one of the  options  above,  then the
          Certificate continues as if the death had not occurred.  All ownership
          rights under the  Certificate are then available to your spouse as the
          new Owner.  Within one year of your  death,  your  spouse may take one
          withdrawal without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. The amount which may
          be  withdrawn  is limited  only by the amount of the  available  Death
          benefit.

2.   If the new Owner is not your spouse but is a natural person,  then this new
     Owner has the following options:

     a.   The new Owner may elect, within 180 days of the date of your death, to
          receive the death benefit described below in a lump sum.

     b.   The new Owner may elect, within 180 days of the date of your death, to
          receive an amount equal to the Death Benefit paid out under one of the
          Income Plans  described in the Payout Phase section.  The Payout Start
          Date must be within  one year of your date of death.  Income  Payments
          must be:

          i.   over the life of the new Owner; or

          ii.  for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to
               exceed the life expectancy of the new Owner.

     c.   The new Owner may elect to receive the  Settlement  Value payable in a
          lump sum within 5 years of your date of death.

3.   If the new Owner is a corporation, trust, or other non-Natural Person:

     a.   The  non-natural  Owner may elect,  within 180 days of your death,  to
          receive the Death Benefit in a lump sum.

     b.   The  non-natural  Owner  may elect to  receive  the  Settlement  Value
          payable in a lump sum within 5 years of your date of death.

If the new Owner who is not your spouse does not make one of the above described
elections,  the Settlement Value must be withdrawn by the new Owner on or before
the mandatory  distribution date 5 years after your date of death.  Under any of
these options, all ownership rights are available to the new Owner from the date
of your  death to the date on which the Death  Benefit  or  Settlement  Value is
paid. We reserve the right to extend beyond 180 days the period when we will pay
the Death Benefit.


Death of Annuitant If any  Annuitant who is not also the Owner dies prior to the
Payout Start Date,  the Owner must elect an applicable  option listed below.  If
the option  selected is 1(a) or 1(b)(ii)  below,  the new Annuitant  will be the
youngest Owner, unless the Owner names a different Annuitant.

1.   If the Owner is a Natural Person:

     a.   The Owner may choose to continue this  Certificate as if the death had
          not occurred; or

     b.   If we  receive  due proof of death  within 180 days of the date of the
          Annuitant's death, then the Owner may alternatively choose to:



<PAGE>



          i.   Receive the Death Benefit in a lump sum; or

          ii.  Apply the Death Benefit to an Income Plan which must begin within
               one year of the date of death and must be for a guaranteed number
               of payments for a period from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the
               life expectancy of the Owner.

2.   If the Owner is a non-Natural Person:

     a.   The  non-natural  Owner may elect,  within 180 days of the Annuitant's
          date of death, to receive the Death Benefit in a lump sum; or

     b.   The  non-natural  Owner  may elect to  receive  the  Settlement  Value
          payable in a lump sum within 5 years of the Annuitant's date of death.

If the non-natural Owner does not make one of the above described elections, the
Settlement  Value must be  withdrawn by the  non-natural  Owner on or before the
mandatory distribution date 5 years after the Annuitant's death.

Under any of these options, all ownership rights are available to the Owner from
the date of the  Annuitant's  death to the date on which  the Death  Benefit  or
Settlement  Value is paid.  We reserve  the right to extend  beyond 180 days the
period when we will pay the Death Benefit.


Death Benefit Prior to the Payout Start Date,  the Death Benefit is equal to the
greatest of the following Death Benefit alternatives:

|X|      the sum of all purchase payments less any withdrawals; or
|X|      the Cash Value on the date we determine the Death Benefit; or
|X|      the Cash Value on the most recent Death  Benefit  Anniversary  prior to
         the date we  determine  the Death  Benefit,  increased  by any purchase
         payments and reduced by any  withdrawals  made since that Death Benefit
         Anniversary.

Death  Benefit  Anniversaries  are  those  Certificate  anniversaries  that  are
multiples  of  6  Certificate   Years,   beginning  with  the  6th   Certificate
anniversary.  For example, the 6th, 12th, and 18th Certificate anniversaries are
the first three Death Benefit Anniversaries.

We will  determine the value of the Death Benefit as of the end of the Valuation
Period  during  which we receive a  complete  request  for  payment of the Death
Benefit. A complete request includes due proof of death.


Settlement  Value The Settlement  Value is the same amount that would be paid in
the  event  of a full  withdrawal  of the  Cash  Value.  We will  calculate  the
Settlement  Value  at the  end of  the  Valuation  Period  coinciding  with  the
requested  distribution date for payment or on the mandatory distribution date 5
years after the date of death, whichever is earlier.


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PAYOUT PHASE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Payout Phase  Defined The "Payout  Phase" is the second of the two phases during
your Certificate.  During this phase the Cash Value less any applicable taxes is
applied to the Income Plan you choose and is paid out as provided in that plan.

The Payout Phase begins on the Payout Start Date. It continues until we make the
last payment as provided by the Income Plan chosen.



<PAGE>



Payout  Start Date The  "Payout  Start Date" is the date the Cash Value less any
applicable taxes is applied to an Income Plan. The anticipated Payout Start Date
is shown on the  Annuity  Data Page.  You may  change  the Payout  Start Date by
writing to us at least 30 days prior to this date.

The Payout Start Date must be on or before the later of:

|X|      the Annuitant's 90th birthday; or

|X|      the 10th anniversary of the Certificate's issue date.


Income  Plans An "Income  Plan" is a series of payments on a scheduled  basis to
you or to another  person  designated by you. The Cash Value on the Payout Start
Date, less any applicable taxes, will be applied to your Income Plan choice from
the following list:

1.       Life Income with Guaranteed Payments. We will make payments for as long
         as the  Annuitant  lives.  If the  Annuitant  dies before the  selected
         number of  guaranteed  payments have been made, we will continue to pay
         the remainder of the guaranteed payments.

2.       Joint and Survivor Life Income with Guaranteed  Payments.  We will make
         payments for as long as either the Annuitant or joint Annuitant,  named
         at the time of Income Plan selection,  lives. If both the Annuitant and
         the joint  Annuitant  die  before  the  selected  number of  guaranteed
         payments  have been made,  we will continue to pay the remainder of the
         guaranteed payments.

3.       Guaranteed  Number of Payments.  We will make  payments for a specified
         number of months  beginning on the Payout Start Date. These payments do
         not depend on the Annuitant's life. The number of months guaranteed may
         be from 60 to 360.

We reserve the right to make available other Income Plans.


Income  Payments Income payment amounts may vary based on any Sub-account of the
Variable  Account  ("Variable  Amount  Income  Payments"),  may be fixed for the
duration of the Income Plan  ("Fixed  Amount  Income  Payments"),  or both.  The
method of calculating the initial payment is different for the two accounts.


Variable  Amount Income  Payments  Variable  Amount Income Payments will vary to
reflect the  performance  of the  Variable  Account.  The portion of the initial
income  payment based upon a particular  Variable  Sub-account  is determined by
applying  the amount of the Cash Value in that  Sub-account  on the Payout Start
Date, less any applicable  premium tax, to the appropriate value from the Income
Payment  Table.  This  portion of the initial  income  payment is divided by the
Annuity Unit Value on the Payout  Start Date for that  Variable  Sub-account  to
determine the number of Annuity Units from that  Sub-account  which will be used
to  determine  subsequent  income  payments.  Unless  transfers  are made  among
Sub-accounts of the Variable  Account,  each subsequent income payment from that
Sub-account  will be that number of Annuity  Units times the Annuity  Unit Value
for the Sub-account for the Valuation Date on which the income payment is made.


Annuity Unit Value The Annuity Unit Value for each  Sub-account  of the Variable
Account at the end of any Valuation Period is calculated by:

|X|  multiplying the Annuity Unit Value at the end of the immediately  preceding
     Valuation  Period by the  Sub-account's  Net  Investment  Factor during the
     period; and then

|X|  dividing  the  result by 1.000  plus the  assumed  investment  rate for the
     period.  The assumed  investment rate is an effective annual rate of 3%. We
     reserve the right to offer an assumed investment rate greater than 3%.



<PAGE>



Fixed Amount Income  Payments The income  payment  amount derived from any money
allocated to the Fixed Account options during the  Accumulation  Phase are fixed
for the  duration  of the  Income  Plan.  The Fixed  Amount  Income  Payment  is
calculated  by  applying  the  portion  of the Cash  Value in the Fixed  Account
options on the Payout  Start  Date,  less any  applicable  premium  tax,  to the
greater of the appropriate  value from the Income Payment Table selected or such
other value as we are offering at that time.


Annuity Transfers After the Payout Start Date, no transfers may be made from the
Fixed  Amount  Income  Payment.  Transfers  among  Sub-accounts  of the Variable
Account,  or from the Variable  Amount Income Payment to the Fixed Amount Income
Payment,  may not be made for six months after the Payout Start Date.  Transfers
may be made once every six months thereafter.


Payout Terms and  Conditions  The income  payments are subject to the  following
terms and conditions:

|X|  If the Cash Value is less than $2,000,  or not enough to provide an initial
     payment of at least $20, we reserve the right to:

     |X|  change the payment frequency to make the payment at least $20; or

     |X|  terminate  the  Certificate  and pay  you the  Cash  Value,  less  any
          applicable taxes, in a lump sum.

|X|  If we do not  receive a written  choice of an Income Plan from you at least
     30 days before the Payout  Start Date,  the Income Plan will be Life Income
     with Guaranteed Payments for 120 months.

|X|  If you choose an Income Plan which  depends on any  person's  life,  we may
     require:

     |X|  proof of age and sex before income payments begin; and

     |X|  proof that the  Annuitant or joint  Annuitant is still alive before we
          make each payment.

|X|  After the  Payout  Start  Date,  the  Income  Plan  cannot be  changed  and
     withdrawals  cannot be made unless income  payments are being made from the
     Variable Account under Income Plan 3. You may terminate the income payments
     being made from the  Variable  Account  under Income Plan 3 at any time and
     withdraw their value.

|X|  If any Owner dies during the Payout Phase,  the remaining  income  payments
     will  be  paid  to the  successor  Owner  as  scheduled,  or if  none,  the
     Beneficiary.

INCOME PAYMENT TABLES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The initial income payment will be at least the amount based on the adjusted age
of the  Annuitant(s)  and the tables below,  less any federal income taxes which
are  withheld.  The  adjusted  age is the actual  age on the  Payout  Start Date
reduced  by one year for each six full  years  between  January  1, 1983 and the
Payout Start Date.  Income payments for ages and guaranteed  payment periods not
shown below will be determined on a basis consistent with that used to determine
those that are shown.  The Income  Payment Tables are based on 3.0% interest and
the 1983a Annuity Mortality Tables.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Entire  Contract  The entire  contract  consists  of this  Certificate,  any
written application, and any Certificate amendments and riders.

All  statements  made  in a  written  application  are  representations  and not
warranties. No statement will be used by us in defense of a claim or to void the
Certificate unless it is included in a written application.

We may not modify  this  Certificate  without  your  consent,  except to make it
comply with any changes in the Internal Revenue Code or as required by any other
applicable  law.  Only  our  officers  may  change  the  Certificate.  No  other
individual may do this.


Master Policy  Amendment or Termination  The Master Policy may be amended by us,
terminated by us, or terminated by the Master  Policyholder  without the consent
of any other  person.  No  termination  completed  after the issue  date of this
Certificate will adversely affect your rights under this Certificate.


Incontestability  We will not contest the validity of this Certificate after the
issue date.


Misstatement of Age or Sex If any age or sex has been misstated, we will pay the
amounts which would have been paid at the correct age and sex.

If we find the  misstatement  of age or sex after the income  payments begin, we
will:

|X|  pay all amounts  underpaid  including  interest  calculated at an effective
     annual rate of 6%; or

|X|  stop payments until the total payments are equal to the corrected amount.


Annual  Statement At least once a year,  prior to the Payout Start Date, we will
send you a statement containing Cash Value information. We will provide you with
Cash Value information at any time upon request. The information  presented will
comply with any applicable law.




<PAGE>



Settlements We may require that this  Certificate be returned to us prior to any
settlement.  We must receive due proof of death of the Owner or Annuitant  prior
to settlement of a death claim. Due proof of death is one of the following:

|X|  a certified copy of a death certificate; or

|X|  a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent  jurisdiction  as to a
     finding of death; or

|X|  any other proof acceptable to us.

Any full  withdrawal or Death Benefit  under this  Certificate  will not be less
than the  minimum  benefits  required  by any  statute of the state in which the
Certificate is delivered.


Deferment  of Payments We will pay any  amounts  due from the  Variable  Account
under this Certificate within seven days, unless:

|X|  the New York Stock  Exchange  is closed for other  than usual  weekends  or
     holidays, or trading on such Exchange is restricted;

|X|  an emergency  exists as defined by the Securities and Exchange  Commission;
     or

|X|  the Securities and Exchange  Commission permits delay for the protection of
     Certificate holders.

We reserve the right to postpone  payments or transfers  from the Fixed  Account
options for up to six months.  If we elect to postpone  payments  from the Fixed
Account  options  for 30 days or  more,  we will pay  interest  as  required  by
applicable  law.  Any  interest  would be payable  from the date the  withdrawal
request is received by us to the date the payment is made.


Variable Account  Modifications We reserve the right, subject to applicable law,
to make  additions  to,  deletions  from, or  substitutions  for the mutual fund
shares  underlying  the  Sub-accounts  of the  Variable  Account.  We  will  not
substitute  any shares  attributable  to your interest in a  Sub-account  of the
Variable  Account without notice to you and prior approval of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission,  to the extent  required by the Investment  Company Act of
1940, as amended.

We  reserve  the right to  establish  additional  Sub-accounts  of the  Variable
Account,  each of which would invest in shares of another  mutual fund.  You may
then   instruct  us  to  allocate   purchase   payments  or  transfers  to  such
Sub-accounts, subject to any terms set by us or the mutual fund.

In the event of any such substitution or change, we may by endorsement make such
changes as may be  necessary or  appropriate  to reflect  such  substitution  or
change.

If we deem it to be in the best  interests of persons having voting rights under
the certificates,  the Variable Account may be operated as a management  company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,  or it may be deregistered
under such Act in the event such registration is no longer required.
