THE CONTRACT
In order to supplement the description in the Prospectus, the following provides
additional information about the Contract which may be of interest to Contract
Owners.
COMPUTATION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS
The amounts shown in the Annuity Tables contained in your Contract represent the
guaranteed minimum for each Annuity Payment under a Fixed Payment Option.
Variable annuity income payments are computed as follows. First, the
Accumulated Value (or the portion of the Accumulated Value used to provide
variable payments) is applied under the Annuity Tables contained in your
Contract corresponding to the Annuity Payment Option elected by the Contract
Owner and based on an assumed interest rate of 4%. This will produce a dollar
amount which is the first monthly payment. The Company may, at the time annuity
income payments are computed, offer more favorable rates in lieu of the
guaranteed rates specified in the annuity Tables.
The amount of each Annuity Payment after the first is determined by means of
Annuity Units. The number of Annuity Units is determined by dividing the first
Annuity Payment by the Annuity Unit Value for the selected Subaccount ten
Business Days prior to the Annuity Date. The number of Annuity Units for the
Subaccount then remains fixed, unless an Exchange of Annuity Units (as set forth
below) is made. After the first Annuity Payment, the dollar amount of each
subsequent Annuity Payment is equal to the number of Annuity Units multiplied by
the Annuity Unit value for the Subaccount ten Business Days before the due date
of the Annuity Payment.
The Annuity Unit Value for each Subaccount was initially established at $10.00
on the date money was first deposited in that Subaccount. The Annuity Unit
Value for any subsequent Business Day is equal to (a) times (b) times (c), where
(a) = the Annuity Unit Value for the immediately preceding Business
Day;
(b) = the Net Investment Factor for the day;
(c) = the investment result adjustment factor (.99989255 per day),
which recognizes an assumed interest rate of 4% per year used
in determining the Annuity Payment amounts.
The Net Investment Factor is a factor applied to a Subaccount that reflects
daily changes in the value of the Subaccount due to:
(a) = any increase or decrease in the value of the Subaccount due to
investment results;
(b) = a daily charge for the mortality and expense risks assumed by
the Company corresponding to an annual rate according to the
following schedule:
A Unit Contracts .65%
B Unit Contracts 1.25%
(c) = a daily charge for the cost of administering the contract
corresponding to an annual charge of .15% of the value of
the Subaccount, plus the Annual Contract Fee.
The Annuity Tables contained in the Contract are based on the 1983 Table "A"
Mortality Table projected for mortality improvement to the year 2000 using
Projection Scale G and an interest rate of 4% a year; except that in
Massachusetts and Montana, the Annuity Tables contained in the Contract are
based on a 60% female/40% male blending of the above for all annuitants of
either gender.

<PAGE>
EXCHANGES
After the Annuity Date you may, by making a written request, exchange the
current value of an existing Subaccount to Annuity Units of any other
Subaccounts then available. The written request for an exchange must be received
by us, however, at least 10 Business Days prior to the first payment date on
which the exchange is to take effect. An exchange shall result in the same
dollar amount as that of the Annuity Payment on the date of exchange (the
Exchange Date). Each year you may make an unlimited number of free Exchanges
between Subaccounts. We reserve the right to charge a $15 fee for Exchanges in
excess of twelve per Contract Year.
Exchanges will be made using the Annuity Unit Value for the Subaccounts on the
date the written request for exchange is received. On the Exchange Date, the
Company will establish a value for the current Subaccounts by multiplying the
Annuity Unit value by the number of Annuity Units in the existing Subaccounts
and compute the number of Annuity Units for the new Subaccounts by dividing the
Annuity Unit Value of the new Subaccounts into the value previously calculated
for the existing Subaccount.
EXCEPTIONS TO CHARGES
In addition to the Purchase Payment breakpoints discussed in the prospectus, the
Company may impose reduced sales loads, administrative charges or other
deductions from Purchase Payments in certain situations where the Company
expects to realize significant economies of scale with respect to the sales of
Contracts. This is possible because sales costs do not increase in proportion to
the dollar amount of the Contracts sold. For example, the per-dollar transaction
cost for a sale of a Contract equal to $5,000 is generally much higher than the
per-dollar cost for a sale of a Contract equal to $1,000,000. As a result, the
applicable sales charge declines as a percentage of the dollar amount of
Contracts sold as the dollar amount increases.
The Company may also impose reduced sales loads and reduced administrative
charges and fees on sales to directors, officers and bona fide full-time
employees (and their spouses and minor children) of the Company, its ultimate
parent company, Providian Corporation certain of their affiliates, and the
Calvert Group, Ltd. its wholly-owned affiliates and certain sales
representatives for the Contract.
Notwithstanding the above, any variations in the sales loads, administrative
charges or other deductions from Purchase Payments shall reflect differences in
costs or services and shall not be unfairly discriminatory against any person.
GENERAL MATTERS
NON-PARTICIPATING
The Contracts are non-participating. No dividends are payable and the Contracts
will not share in the profits or surplus earnings of the Company.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
The Company may require proof of age and sex before making Annuity Payments. If
the Annuitant's stated age, sex or both in the Contract are incorrect, the
Company will change the Annuity Benefits payable to those which the Purchase
Payments would have purchased for the correct age and sex. In the case of
correction of the stated age and/or sex after payments have commenced, the
Company will (1) in the case of underpayment, pay the full amount due with the
next payment; (2) in the case of overpayment, deduct the amount due from one or
more future payments.
-3-
<PAGE>
ASSIGNMENT
Any Non-Qualified Contract may be assigned by you prior to the Annuity Date and
during the Annuitants lifetime. The Company is not responsible for the validity
of any assignment. No assignment will be recognized until the Company receives
the appropriate Company form notifying the Company of such assignment. The
interest of any beneficiary which the assignor has the right to change shall be
subordinate to the interest of an assignee. Any amount paid to the assignee
shall be paid in one sum notwithstanding any settlement agreement in effect at
the time assignment was executed. The Company shall not be liable as to any
payment or other settlement made by the Company before receipt of the
appropriate Company form.
ANNUITY DATA
The Company will not be liable for obligations which depend on receiving
information from a Payee until such information is received in a form
satisfactory to the Company.
ANNUAL STATEMENT
Once each Contract Year, the Company will send you an annual statement of the
current Accumulated Value allocated to each Subaccount and/or the General
Account Guaranteed Options; and any Purchase Payments, charges, Exchanges or
withdrawals during the year. This report will also give you any other
information required by law or regulation. You may ask for an annual statement
like this at any time. We will also send you quarterly statements. However, we
reserve the right to discontinue quarterly statements at any time.
INCONTESTABILITY
This Contract is incontestable from the Contract Date, subject to the
"Misstatement of Age or Sex" provision.
OWNERSHIP
The Contract Owner on the Contract Date is the Annuitant, unless otherwise
specified in the application. The Contract Owner may specify a new Contract
Owner by sending us the appropriate Company form at any time thereafter. The
term Contract Owner also includes any person named as a Joint Owner. A Joint
Owner shares ownership in all respects with the Contract Owner. During the
Annuitants lifetime, all rights and privileges under this Contract may be
exercised solely by the Contract Owner. Upon the death of the Contract Owner,
ownership is retained by the surviving Joint Owner or passes to the Owners
Designated Beneficiary, if one has been designated by the Contract Owner. If no
Owners Designated Beneficiary has been selected or if no Owners Designated
Beneficiary is living, then the Owners Designated Beneficiary is the Contract
Owners estate. From time to time the Company may require proof that the Contract
Owner is still living.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance information for the Subaccounts including the yield and effective
yield of the CRI Money Market Subaccount, the yield of the remaining
Subaccounts, and the total return of all Subaccounts, may appear in reports or
promotional literature to current or prospective Contract Owners.

<PAGE>
MONEY MARKET SUBACCOUNT YIELDS
Current yield for the CRI Money Market Subaccount will be based on the change in
the value of a hypothetical investment (exclusive of capital changes) over a
particular 7-day period, less a pro-rata share of Subaccount expenses accrued
over that period (the base period), and stated as a percentage of the investment
at the start of the base period (the "base period return"). The base period
return is then annualized by multiplying by 365/7, with the resulting yield
figure carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent. Calculation of
effective yield begins with the same base period return used in the calculation
of yield, which is then annualized to reflect weekly compounding pursuant to the
following formula:
Effective Yield = [((Base Period Return)+1)/365/7] - 1
30-DAY YIELD FOR NON-MONEY MARKET SUBACCOUNTS
Quotations of yield for the remaining Subaccounts will be based on all
investment income per Unit earned during a particular 30-day period, less
expenses accrued during the period ("net investment income"), and will be
computed by dividing net investment income by the value of a Unit on the last
day of the period, according to the following formula:
YIELD = 2[(a-b +1)/6/ - 1]
----
cd
Where:
[a] equals the net investment income earned during the period by the
Portfolio attributable to shares owned by a Subaccount
[b] equals the expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursement)
[c] equals the average daily number of Units outstanding during the period
[d] equals the maximum offering price per Accumulation Unit on the last day
of the period
Yield on the Subaccount is earned from the increase in net asset value of shares
of the Portfolio in which the Subaccount invests and from dividends declared and
paid by the Portfolio, which are automatically reinvested in shares of the
Portfolio.
STANDARDIZED AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FOR NON-MONEY MARKET SUBACCOUNTS
When advertising performance of the Subaccounts, the Company will show the
"Standardized Average Annual Total Return," calculated as prescribed by the
rules of the SEC, for each Subaccount. The Standardized Average Annual Total
Return is the effective annual compounded rate of return that would have
produced the cash redemption value over the stated period had the performance
remained constant throughout. The calculation assumes a single $1,000 payment
made at the beginning of the period and full redemption at the end of the
period. It reflects the deduction of all applicable sales loads (including the
contingent deferred sales load), the Annual Contract Fee and all other
Portfolio, Separate Account and Contract level charges except Premium Taxes, if
any.
Quotations of average annual total return for any Subaccount will be expressed
in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return of a hypothetical
investment in a Contract over a period of one, five and 10 years (or, if less,
up to the life of the Subaccount), calculated pursuant to the formula:
P(1 + T)/n/ = ERV
-5-
<PAGE>
Where:
(1) [P] equals a hypothetical initial Purchase Payment of $1,000
(2) [T] equals an average annual total return
(3) [n] equals the number of years
(4) [ERV] equals the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
Purchase Payment made at the beginning of the period (or fractional
portion thereof)
The following tables show the Standardized Average Annual Total Return for the
Subaccounts for the period beginning at the inception of each Subaccount and
ending on December 31, 1994.

ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
NON-STANDARDIZED ACTUAL TOTAL RETURN AND NON-STANDARDIZED ACTUAL AVERAGE ANNUAL
TOTAL RETURN
The Company may show Non-Standardized Actual Total Return (i.e., the percentage
change in the value of an Accumulation Unit) for one or more Subaccounts with
respect to one or more periods. The Company may also show Non-Standardized
Actual Average Annual Total Return (i.e., the average annual change in
accumulation Unit Value) with respect to one or more periods. For one year, the
Non-Standardized Actual Total Return and the Non-Standardized Actual Average
Annual Total Return are effective annual rates of return and are equal. For
periods greater than one year, the Non-Standardized Actual Average Annual Total
Return is the effective annual compounded rate of return for the periods stated.
Because the value of an Accumulation Unit reflects the Separate Account and
Portfolio expenses (See Fee Table in the Prospectus), the Non-Standardized
Actual Total Return and Non-Standardized Actual Average Annual Total Return also
reflect these expenses. However, these percentages do not reflect the Annual
Contract Fee, any sales loads or Premium Taxes (if any), which if included would
reduce the percentages reported by the Company.

The Company may show Non-Standardized Hypothetical Total Return and Non-
Standardized Hypothetical Average Annual Total Return, calculated on the basis
of the historical performance of the Portfolios (calculated beginning from the
end of the year of inception for each Portfolio) and may assume the Contract was
in existence prior to its inception dated (which it was not). After the
Contracts inception date, actual Accumulation Unit Values are used for the
calculations. These returns are based on specified premium patterns which
produce the resulting Accumulated Values. They reflect a deduction for the
Separate Account expenses and Portfolio expenses. However, they do not include
the Annual Contract Fee, any sales loads or Premium Taxes (if any), which if
included would reduce the percentages reported.
The Non-Standardized Annual Total Return for a Subaccount is the effective
annual rate of return that would have produced the ending Accumulated Value of
the stated one-year period.

INDIVIDUALIZED COMPUTER GENERATED ILLUSTRATIONS
The Company may from time to time use computer-based software available through
Morningstar, CDA/Wiesenberger and/or other firms to provide registered
representatives and existing and/or potential owners of Contracts with
individualized hypothetical performance illustrations for some or all of the
Portfolios. Such illustrations may include, without limitation, graphs, bar
charts and other types of formats presenting the following information: (i) the
historical results of a hypothetical investment in a single Portfolio; (ii) the
historical fluctuation of the value of a single Portfolio (actual and
hypothetical); (iii) the historical results of a hypothetical investment in more
than one Portfolio; (iv) the historical performance of two or more market
indices in relation to one another and/or one or more Portfolios; (v) the
historical performance of two or more market indices in comparison to a single
Portfolio or a group of Portfolios; (vi) a market risk/reward scatter chart
showing the historical risk/reward relationship of one or more mutual funds or
Portfolios to one or more indices and a broad category of similar anonymous
variable annuity subaccounts; and (vii) Portfolio data sheets showing various
information about one or more Portfolios (such as information concerning total
return for various periods, fees and expenses, standard deviation, alpha and
beta, investment objective, inception date and net assets).
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
Performance information for any Subaccount reflects only the performance of a
hypothetical Contract under which Accumulation Value is allocated to a
Subaccount during a particular time period on which the calculations are based.
Performance information should be considered in light of the investment
objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the Portfolio in which
the Subaccount invests, and the market conditions during the given period, and
should not be considered as a representation of what may be achieved in the
future.
Reports and marketing materials may, from time to time, include information
concerning the rating of Providian Life and Health InsuranceCompany as
determined by one or more of the ratings services listed below, or other
recognized rating services. Reports and promotional literature may also contain
other information including (i) the ranking of any Subaccount derived from
rankings of variable annuity separate accounts or other investment products
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services or by other rating services, companies,
publications, or other person who rank separate accounts or other investment
products on overall performance or other criteria, and (ii) the effect of tax-
deferred compounding on a Subaccount's investment returns, or returns in
general, which may be illustrated by graphs, charts, or otherwise, and which may
include a comparison, at various points in time, of the return from an
investment in a Contract (or returns in general) on a tax-deferred basis
(assuming one or more tax rates) with the return on a taxable basis.
Each Subaccount's performance depends on, among other things, the performance of
the underlying Portfolio which, in turn, depends upon such variables as:
. quality of underlying investments;
. average maturity of underlying investments;
. type of instruments in which the Portfolio is invested;
. changes in interest rates and market value of underlying investments;
. changes in Portfolio expenses; and
. the relative amount of the Portfolio's cash flow.
From time to time, we may advertise the performance of the Subaccounts and the
underlying Portfolios as compared to similar funds or portfolios using certain
indexes, reporting services and financial publications, and we may advertise
rankings or ratings issued by certain services and/or other institutions. These
may include, but are not limited to, the following:

Investors may use such indexes (or reporting services) in addition to the Funds'
prospectuses to obtain a more complete view of each Portfolio's performance
before investing. Of course, when comparing each Portfolio's performance to any
index, conditions such as composition of the index and prevailing market
conditions should be considered in assessing the significance of such companies.
Unmanaged indexes may assume the reinvestment of dividends but generally do not
reflect deductions for administrative and management costs and expenses.
When comparing funds using reporting services, or total return and yield, or
effective yield, investors should take into consideration only relevant
differences in funds such as permitted portfolio compositions and methods used
to value portfolio securities and compute offering price.
SAFEKEEPING OF ACCOUNT ASSETS
Title to assets of the Separate Account is held by the Company. The Assets are
kept physically segregated and held separate and apart from the Company's
General Account assets. The General Account contains all of the assets of the
