SYNOPSIS OF CONTRACT PROVISIONS

This synopsis should be read together with the other information set
forth in this Prospectus. Variations due to requirements particular to your
state are described in supplements which are attached to this Prospectus, or
in endorsements to your Contract, as appropriate.

The Contracts are designed to provide retirement benefits through
the accumulation of purchase payments on a fixed or variable basis, and by the
application of such accumulations to provide Fixed or Variable Annuity
Payments.

Minimum Investment Requirements

Your initial purchase payment must be at least $10,000. The amount
of any subsequent purchase payment that you make must be at least $100. If
your Account Value falls below $500, we may cancel your interest in the
Contract and treat it as a full surrender. We also may transfer funds from a
Division (other than the Money Market Division) or Guarantee Period under your
Contract without charge to the Money Market Division if the Account Value of
that Division or Guarantee Period falls below $500. See "Contract Issuance and
Purchase Payments."

Purchase Payment Accumulation

Purchase payments will be accumulated on a variable or fixed basis
until the Annuity Commencement Date. For variable accumulation, you may
allocate part or all of your Account Value to one or more of the nine
available Divisions of Separate Account D. Each such Division invests solely
in shares of one of nine corresponding Funds. See "The Funds." As the value of
the investments in a Fund's shares increases or decreases, the value of
accumulated purchase payments allocated to the corresponding Division
increases or decreases, subject to applicable charges and deductions. See
"Variable Account Value."

<PAGE>

For fixed accumulation, you may allocate part or all of your Account
Value to one or more of the five Guarantee Periods currently available in our
Fixed Account. Each Guarantee Period is for a different period of time and has
a different Guaranteed Interest Rate. While allocated to a Guarantee Period,
the value of accumulated purchase payments increases at the Guaranteed
Interest Rate applicable to that Guarantee Period. See "The Fixed Account."

Fixed and Variable Annuity Payments

You may elect to receive Fixed or Variable Annuity Payments, or a
combination thereof, commencing on the Annuity Commencement Date. Fixed
Annuity Payments are periodic payments from AG Life, the amount of which is
fixed and guaranteed by AG Life. The amount of the payments will depend on the
Annuity Payment Option chosen, the age and, in some cases, sex of the
Annuitant, and the total amount of Account Value applied to the fixed Annuity
Payment Option.

Variable Annuity Payments are similar to Fixed Annuity Payments,
except that the amount of each periodic payment from AG Life will vary
reflecting the net investment return of the Division or Divisions chosen in
connection with a variable Annuity Payment Option. If the net investment
return for a given month exceeds the assumed interest rate used in the
Contract's annuity tables, the monthly payment will be greater than the
previous payment. If the net investment return for a month is less than the
assumed interest rate, the monthly payment will be less than the previous
payment. The assumed interest rate used in the Contract's annuity tables is
3.5%. AG Life may in the future offer other forms of Contract with a lower
assumed interest rate, and reserves the right to discontinue the offering of
the higher interest rate form of Contract. See "Annuity Period and Annuity
Payment Options."

Changes in Allocations Among Divisions and Guarantee Periods

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, you may modify your election
with respect to the allocation of future purchase payments to each of the
various Divisions and Guarantee Periods, without charge.

In addition, you may reallocate your Account Value among the
Divisions and Guarantee Periods prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.
Transfers out of a Guarantee Period, however, are subject to limitations as to
amount. For these and other terms and conditions of transfer, see "Transfer,
Surrender and Partial Withdrawal of Owner Account Value - Transfers."

Afterthe Annuity Commencement Date, you may make transfers
among the Divisions or to a fixed Annuity Payment Option, but you may not
make transfers from a fixed AnnuityPayment Option. See "Annuity Period
and Annuity Payment Options - Transfers."

Surrenders, Withdrawals and Cancellations

You may make a total surrender of or partial withdrawal from your
Contract at any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, by Written
request to us. A Surrender Charge may be assessed and some surrenders and
withdrawals may subject you to tax penalties. See "Surrenders and Partial
Withdrawals."

<PAGE>

You may cancel your Contract by delivering it or mailing it with a
Written cancellation request to our Home Office or to the sales representative
through whom it was purchased, before the close of business on the tenth day
after you receive the Contract. (In some cases, the Contract may provide for a
20 or 30-day, rather than a ten-day period.) If the foregoing items are sent
by mail, properly addressed and postage prepaid, they will be deemed to be
received by us on the date actually received.

We will refund to you the Owner Account Value plus any premium taxes
and Annual Contract Fee that have been deducted. In states where the law so
requires, however, we will refund the greater of that amount or the amount of
your purchase payments, or, if the law permits, the amount of your purchase
payments.

Death Proceeds

In the event that the Annuitant or Owner dies prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date, a benefit is payable to the Beneficiary. See "Death
Proceeds Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date."

Limitations Imposed by Retirement Plans and Employers

Certain rights you would otherwise have under a Contract may be
limited by the terms of any applicable employee benefit plan. These
limitations may restrict such things as total and partial surrenders, the
amount or timing of purchase payments that may be made, when annuity payments
must start and the type of annuity options that may be selected. Accordingly,
you should familiarize yourself with these and all other aspects of any
retirement plan in connection with which a Contract is used. We are not
responsible for monitoring or assuring compliance with the provisions of any
retirement plan.

Communications to Us

All communications to us should include your Contract number, your
name and, if different, the Annuitant's name. Communications may be directed
to the addresses and phone numbers on the cover of this Prospectus.

Except as otherwise specified in this Prospectus, purchase payments
or other communications are deemed received at our Home Office on the actual
date of receipt there in proper form unless received (1) after the close of
regular trading on The New York Stock Exchange or (2) on a date that is not a
Valuation Date. In either of these two cases, the date of receipt will be
deemed to be the next Valuation Date.

Financial and Performance Information

Financial statements of AG Life and Separate Account D, including
financial information about the Divisions which invest in the Funds of the Van
Kampen American Capital Life Investment Trust, are included in the Statement.
See "Contents of Statement of Additional Information."

<PAGE>

From time to time, Separate Account D may include in advertisements
and other sales materials several types of performance information for the
Divisions, including "average annual total return," "total return," and
"cumulative total return." The Domestic Income Division, the Government
Division, and the Growth and Income Division may also advertise "yield." The
Money Market Division may advertise "yield" and "effective yield."

Each of these figures is based upon historical information and is
not necessarily representative of the future performance of a Division.
Moreover, these performance figures do not represent the actual experience of
amounts invested by a particular Owner. The investment experience for each
Division reflects the investment performance of the separate investment Fund
currently funding such Division for the periods stated, except that for
periods prior to the time when the Contract became available, the results were
calculated by applying all applicable charges and fees at the Separate Account
level for the Contract, as noted below, to the historical Fund performance
results for such periods.

Average annual total return, total return, and cumulative total
return calculations measure the net income of a Division plus the effect of
any realized or unrealized appreciation or depreciation of the underlying
investments in the Division for the period in question. Average annual total
return figures are annualized and, therefore, represent the average annual
percentage change in the value of an investment in a Division over the
applicable period. Total return figures are also annualized, but do not, as
described below, include the effect of any applicable Surrender Charge or
Annual Contract Fee. Cumulative total return figures represent the cumulative
change in value of an investment in a Division for various periods.

Yield is a measure of the net dividend and interest income earned
over a specific one month or 30-day period (seven-day period for the Money
Market Division) expressed as a percentage of the value of the Division's
Accumulation Units. Yield is an annualized figure, which means that it is
assumed that the Division generates the same level of net income over a one
year period which is compounded on a semi-annual basis. The effective yield
for the Money Market Division is calculated similarly but includes the effect
of assumed compounding. The Money Market Division's effective yield will be
slightly higher than its yield due to this compounding effect.

Average annual total return figures include the deduction of all
recurring charges and fees applicable under the Contract to all Owner
accounts, including the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the Administrative
Expense Charge, the applicable Surrender Charge that may be imposed at the end
of the period in question, and a pro-rated portion of the Annual Contract Fee.
Yield, effective yield, total return, and cumulative total return figures do
not include the effect of any Surrender Charge that may be imposed upon the
redemption of Accumulation Units, and thus may be higher than if such charge
were deducted. Total return and cumulative total return figures also do not
include the effect of the Annual Contract Fee. We may waive or reimburse
certain fees or charges applicable to the Contract and such waivers or
reimbursements will affect each Division's performance results. Additional
information concerning a Division's performance appears in the Statement of
Additional Information.

AG Life may also advertise its ratings by independent financial
rating services, such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poor's, and Duff &
Phelps. Best's Insurance Reports, Life-Health Edi tion, 1994 reconfirmed AG
Life's rating of A++ (Superior) as of June, 1995 for financial position and
operating performance. AG Life has received the highest rating of AAA
(Superior) from Standard & Poor's Corporation, reconfirmed as of November,
1995, and the highest rating of AAA from Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.,
reconfirmed as of July, 1995. The ratings from these three nationally
recognized rating organizations reflect the claims paying ability and
financial strength of AG Life and are not a rating of investment performance
that purchasers of insurance products have experienced or are likely to
experience in the future.

In addition, AG Life may include in certain advertisements
endorsements in the form of a list of organizations, individuals or other
parties that recommend the Company or the Contracts. AG Life may occasionally
include in advertisements comparisons of currently taxable and tax-deferred
investment programs, based on selected tax brackets, or discussions of
alternative investment vehicles and general economic conditions.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial statements of AG Life are located in the Statement.
See the cover page of the Prospectus for information on how to obtain a copy
of the Statement. The financial statements of AG Life should be considered
only as bearing on the ability of AG Life to meet its contractual obligations
under the Contracts; they do not bear on the investment performance of
Separate Account D.

No financial information is available for Separate Account D because
none of the Divisions available under the Contracts had commenced operations
as of the date of this Prospectus.

AG LIFE

AG Life is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws
of the State of Texas, which is a successor in interest to a company
originally organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1917. AG Life
is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of American General Corporation
(formerly American General Insurance Company), a diversified financial
services holding company engaged primarily in the insurance business. The
commitments under the Contracts are AG Life's, and American General
Corporation has no legal obligation to back those commitments.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT D

Separate Account D was originally established on November 19, 1973
and consists of forty- one Divisions, nine of which are available under the
Contracts offered by this Prospectus. Separate Account D is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the
1940 Act.

<PAGE>

Each Division of Separate Account D is part of AG Life's general
business and the assets of Separate Account D belong to AG Life. Under Texas
law and the terms of the Contracts, the assets of Separate Account D will not
be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business which AG Life
may conduct, but will be held exclusively to meet AG Life's obligations under
variable annuity contracts. Furthermore, the income, gains, and losses,
whether or not realized, from assets allocated to Separate Account D, are, in
accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged against the Separate
Account without regard to other income, gains, or losses of AG Life.

THE FUNDS

The variable benefits under the Contracts are funded by nine
Divisions of the Separate Account. These Divisions invest in shares of nine
separate investment Funds of the Van Kampen American Capital Life Investment
Trust ("Trust"), which are sold, without sales charges, exclusively to
insurance company separate accounts and not sold directly to the public. The
Trust also offers its shares to variable annuity and variable life insurance
separate accounts of insurers that are not affiliated with AG Life. We do not
see any conflict between Owners of Contracts and owners of variable life
insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies
not affiliated with AG Life. Nevertheless, the Board of Trustees of the Trust
will monitor to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may
develop and determine what, if any, action should be taken in response. If it
becomes necessary for any separate account to replace shares of any Fund with
another investment, the Fund may have to liquidate securities on a
disadvantageous basis.

Any dividends or capital gain distributions attributable to
Contracts are automatically reinvested in shares of the Fund from which they
are received at the Fund's net asset value on the date payable. Such dividends
and distributions will have the effect of reducing the net asset value of each
share of the corresponding Fund and increasing, by an equivalent value, the
number of shares outstanding of the Fund. However, the value of your interest
in the corresponding Division will not change as a result of any such
dividends and distributions.

The names of the Funds in which each available Division invests, are
as follows:

Van Kampen American Capital Life Investment Trust

Emerging Growth Fund
Enterprise Fund
Global Equity Fund
Real Estate Securities Fund
Growth and Income Fund
Asset Allocation Fund
Domestic Income Fund
Government Fund
Money Market Fund

Van Kampen American Capital Asset Management, Inc. is the investment
adviser of each Fund. John Govett & Co. Limited is the investment sub-adviser
for the Global Equity Fund. Hines Interests Realty Advisors Limited
Partnership is the sub-adviser for the Real Estate Securities Fund.

<PAGE>

Before selecting any Division, you should carefully read the
prospectus that includes more complete information about the Fund in which
that Division invests, including investment objectives and policies, charges
and expenses. You may obtain additional copies of such a prospectus by
contacting AG Life's Annuity Administration Department at the addresses and
phone number set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. When making your
request, please specify the Fund or Funds in which you are interested.

High yielding fixed-income securities such as those in which the
Domestic Income Fund invests are subject to greater market fluctuations and
risk of loss of income and principal than investments in lower yielding
fixed-income securities. Potential investors in this Division should carefully
read the prospectus and related statement of additional information that
pertains to said Fund and consider their ability to assume the risks of making
an investment in this Division.

Voting Privileges

The Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and the Annuitant
or other payee during the Annuity Period will be entitled to give us
instructions as to how Fund shares held in the Divisions of Separate Account D
attributable to their Contract should be voted at meetings of shareholders of
the Fund. Those persons entitled to give voting instructions and the number of
votes for which they may give directions will be determined as of the record
date for a meeting. Separate Account D will vote all shares of each Fund that
it holds of record in accordance with instructions received with respect to
all AG Life annuity contracts participating in that Fund.

Separate Account D will also vote all shares of each Fund for which
no instructions have been received for or against any proposition in the same
proportion as the shares for which voting instructions were received.

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the number of votes each
Owner is entitled to direct with respect to a particular Fund is equal to (a)
the Owner's Variable Account Value attri butable to that Fund divided by (b)
the net asset value of one share of that Fund. In determining the number of
votes, fractional votes will be recognized. While a variable Annuity Payment
Option is in effect, the number of votes an Annuitant or payee is entitled to
direct with respect to a particular Fund will be computed in a comparable
manner, based on our liability for future Variable Annuity Payments with
respect to that Annuitant or payee as of the record date. Such liability for
future payments will be calculated on the basis of the mortality assumptions
and the assumed interest rate used in determining the number of Annuity Units
under a Contract and the applicable value of an Annuity Unit on the record
date.

Fund shares held by insurance company separate accounts other than
Separate Account D will generally be voted in accordance with instructions of
participants in such other separate accounts.

We believe that AG Life's voting instruction procedures comply with
current federal securities law requirements and interpretations thereof.
However, AG Life reserves the right to modify these procedures in any manner
consistent with applicable legal requirements and interpretations as in effect
from time to time.

<PAGE>

THE FIXED ACCOUNT

AMOUNTS IN THE FIXED ACCOUNT OR SUPPORTING FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS BECOME
PART OF OUR GENERAL ACCOUNT. BECAUSE OF EXEMPTIVE AND EXCLUSIONARY PROVISIONS,
INTERESTS IN THE GENERAL ACCOUNT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, NOR IS THE GENERAL ACCOUNT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY
UNDER THE 1940 ACT. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURES IN THIS PROSPECTUS THAT
RELATE TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT OR FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS. DISCLOSURES REGARDING
THESE MATTERS, HOWEVER, MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN GENERALLY-APPLICABLE
PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO THE ACCURACY AND
COMPLETENESS OF STATEMENTS IN PROSPECTUSES.

Our obligations with respect to the Fixed Account are legal
obligations of AG Life and are supported by our General Account assets, which
also support obligations incurred by us under other insurance and annuity
contracts. Investments purchased with amounts allocated to the Fixed Account
are the property of AG Life, and Owners have no legal rights in such
investments.

Account Value that is allocated by the Owner to the Fixed Account
earns a Guaranteed Interest Rate commencing with the date of such allocation.
This Guaranteed Interest Rate continues for a number of years selected by the
Owner from among the Guarantee Periods that we then offer. At the end of a
Guarantee Period, the Owner's Account Value in that Guarantee Period,
including interest accrued thereon, will be allocated to a new Guarantee
Period of the same length unless AG Life has received a Written request from
the Owner to allocate this amount to a different Guarantee Period or periods
or to one or more of the Divisions of Separate Account D. We must receive this
Written request at least three business days prior to the end of the Guarantee
Period. If the Owner has not provided such Written request and the renewed
Guarantee Period extends beyond the scheduled Annuity Commencement Date, we
will nevertheless contact the Owner regarding the scheduled Annuity
Commencement Date. If the Owner elects to annuitize in this circumstance, the
Surrender Charge may be waived. (See "Annuity Payment Options" and "Surrender
Charge.") The first day of the new Guarantee Period (or other reallocation)
will be the day after the end of the prior Guarantee Period. We will notify
the Owner at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the end of any
Guarantee Period. If the Owner's Account Value in a Guarantee Period is less
than $500, we reserve the right to automatically transfer without charge, the
balance to the Money Market Division at the end of that Guarantee Period,
unless we have received in good order Written instructions to transfer such
balance to a different Division.

We declare the Guaranteed Interest Rates from time to time as market
conditions dictate. We advise an Owner of the Guaranteed Interest Rate for a
chosen Guarantee Period at the time a pur chase payment is received, a
transfer is effectuated or a Guarantee Period is renewed. A different rate of
interest may be credited to one Guarantee Period than to another Guarantee
Period that is the same length but that began on a different date. The minimum
Guaranteed Interest Rate is an effective annual rate of 3%.

Currently we make available Guarantee Periods of one, three, five,
seven and ten years. Each Guarantee Period has its own Guaranteed Interest
Rate, which may differ from those for other Guarantee Periods. From time to
time we will, at our discretion, change the Guaranteed Interest Rate for
future Guarantee Periods of various lengths. These changes will not affect the
Guaranteed Interest Rates being paid on Guarantee Periods that have already
commenced. Each allocation or transfer of an amount to a Guarantee Period
commences the running of a new Guarantee Period with

<PAGE>

respect to that amount, which will earn a Guaranteed Interest Rate that will
continue unchanged until the end of that period. The Guaranteed Interest Rate
will never be less than the minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate stated in your
Contract. We reserve the right to change the Guarantee Periods that we are
making available at any time.

AG LIFE'S MANAGEMENT MAKES THE FINAL DETERMINATION OF THE GUARANTEED
INTEREST RATES TO BE DECLARED. AG LIFE CANNOT PREDICT OR ASSURE THE LEVEL OF
ANY FUTURE GUARANTEED INTEREST RATES IN EXCESS OF THE MINIMUM GUARANTEED
INTEREST RATE STATED IN YOUR CONTRACT.

Information concerning the Guaranteed Interest Rates applicable to
the various Guarantee Periods at any time may be obtained from your sales
representative or from the addresses or phone numbers set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus.

CONTRACT ISSUANCE AND PURCHASE PAYMENTS

The minimum initial purchase payment is $10,000. The amount of any
subsequent purchase payment allocated to any Division or Guarantee Period must
be at least $100. We reserve the right to modify these minimums, in our
discretion.

An application to purchase a Contract must be made by signed Written
application form provided by AG Life or by such other medium or format as may
be agreed to by AG Life and Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc. as
distributor of the Contracts. When a purchase payment accompanies an
application to purchase a Contract and the application is properly completed,
we will either process the application, credit the purchase payment, and issue
the Contract or reject the application and return the purchase payment within
two Valuation Dates after receipt of the application at our Home Office.

If the application is not complete or is incorrectly completed, we
will request additional documents or information within five Valuation Dates
after receipt of the application at our Home Office. If a correctly-completed
application is not received within five Valuation Dates after receipt of the
purchase payment at our Home Office, we will return the purchase payment
immediately unless the prospective purchaser specifically consents to our
retaining the purchase payment until the application is made complete, in
which case the initial purchase payment is credited as of the end of the
Valuation Period in which we receive at our Home Office the last information
required to process the application. Subsequent purchase payments are credited
as of the end of the Valuation Period in which they and any required Written
identifying information, are received at our Home Office. We reserve the right
to reject any application or purchase payment for any reason.

If the Owner's Account Value in any Division falls below $500 because of
a partial withdrawal from the Contract, we reserve the right to transfer,
without charge, the remaining balance to the Money Market Division. If the
Owner's Account value in any Division falls below $500 because of a transfer
to another Division or to the Fixed Account, we reserve the right to transfer
the remaining balance in that Division, without charge and pro rata, to the
Division, Divisions or Fixed Account to which the transfer was made. These
minimum requirements are waived for transfers under the Automatic Rebalancing
program. See "Automatic Rebalancing." If the Owner's total Account Value falls
below $500, we may cancel the Contract. Such a cancellation would be
considered a full surrender of the Contract. We will provide you with 60 days'
advance notice of any such cancellation.

<PAGE>

So long as the Account Value does not fall below $500, you need make
no further purchase payments. You may, however, elect to make subsequent
purchase payments at any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and while
the Owner and Annuitant are still living. Checks for subsequent purchase
payments should be made payable to American General Life Insurance Company and
forwarded directly to our Home Office. We also accept purchase payments by
wire or by exchange from another insurance company. You may obtain further
information about how to make purchase payments by either of these methods
from your sales representative or from us at the addresses and telephone
numbers on the cover page of this Prospectus. Purchase payments pursuant to
salary reduction plans may be made only with our agreement.

Your purchase payments begin to earn a return in the Divisions of
Separate Account D or the Guarantee Periods of the Fixed Account as of the
date we credit the purchase payments to your Contract. In your application
form, you select (in whole percentages) the amount of each purchase payment
that is to be allocated to each Division and each Guarantee Period. You can
change these allocation percentages at any time by Written notice to us.

OWNER ACCOUNT VALUE

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, your Account Value under a
Contract is the sum of your Variable Account Value and Fixed Account Value, as
discussed below.

Variable Account Value

Your Variable Account Value as of any Valuation Date prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date is the sum of your Variable Account Values in each
Division of Separate Account D as of that date. Your Variable Account Value in
any such Division is the product of the number of your Accumulation Units in
that Division multiplied by the value of one such Accumulation Unit as of that
Valuation Date. There is no guaranteed minimum Variable Account Value. To the
extent that your Account Value is allocated to Separate Account D, you bear
the entire risk of investment losses.

Accumulation Units in a Division are credited to you when you
allocate purchase payments or transferred amounts to that Division. Similarly,
such Accumulation Units are cancelled to the extent you transfer or withdraw
amounts from a Division or to the extent necessary to pay certain charges
under the Contract. The crediting or cancellation of Accumulation Units is
based on the value of such Accumulation Units at the end of the Valuation Date
as of which the related amounts are being credited to or charged against your
Variable Account Value, as the case may be.

The value of an Accumulation Unit for a Division on any Valuation
Date is equal to the previous value of that Division's Accumulation Unit
multiplied by that Division's net investment factor for the Valuation Period
ending on that Valuation Date.

The net investment factor for a Division is determined by dividing (1)
the net asset value per share of the Fund shares held by the Division,
determined at the end of the current Valuation Period,plus the per share
amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution made with respect to the
Fund shares held by the Division during the current Valuation Period, by (2)
the net asset value per share of the Fund shares held in the Division as
determined at the end of the previous Valuation Period, and subtracting from
that result a factor representing the mortality risk, expense risk and
administrative expense charge.

<PAGE>

Fixed Account Value

Your Fixed Account Value as of any Valuation Date prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date is the sum of your Fixed Account Value in each
Guarantee Period as of that date. Your Fixed Account Value in any Guarantee
Period is equal to the following amounts, in each case increased by accrued
interest at the applicable Guaranteed Interest Rate: (1) the amount of net
purchase payments, renewals and transferred amounts allocated to the Guarantee
Period less (2) the amount of any transfers or withdrawals out of the
Guarantee Period, including withdrawals to pay applicable charges.

The Fixed Account Value is guaranteed by AG Life. Therefore, AG Life
bears the investment risk with respect to amounts allocated to the Fixed
Account, except to the extent that AG Life may vary the Guaranteed Interest
Rate for future Guarantee Periods (subject to the minimum Guaranteed Interest
Rate stated in your Contract).

TRANSFER, AUTOMATIC REBALANCING, SURRENDER AND PARTIAL
WITHDRAWAL OF OWNER ACCOUNT VALUE

Transfers

Commencing 30 days after the Contract's date of issue and prior to
the Annuity Commence ment Date, you may transfer your Account Value at any
time among the available Divisions of Separate Account D and Guarantee
Periods, subject to the conditions described below. Such transfers will be
effective at the end of the Valuation Period in which we receive your Written
or telephone transfer request.

If a transfer would cause your Account Value in any Division or
Guarantee Period to fall below $500, we reserve the right to also transfer the
remaining balance in that Division or Guarantee Period in the same proportions
as the transfer request.

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and after the first 30 days
following the date the Contract was issued, you may make up to twelve
transfers each Contact Year without charge, but additional transfers will be
subject to a $25 charge. Also, no more than 25% of the Account Value you
allocated to a Guarantee Period at its inception may be transferred during any
Contract Year. This 25% limitation does not apply to transfers from the
one-year Guarantee Period, to transfers within 15 days before or after the end
of the Guarantee Period in which the transferred amounts were being held or to
a renewal at the end of the Guarantee Period to the same Guarantee Period.

Subject to the above general rules concerning transfers, you may
establish an automatic transfer plan, whereby amounts are automatically
transferred by us from the Money Market Divisionor the one-year Guarantee
Period to one or more other Divisions or Guarantee Periods on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Transfers under such automatic
transfer plan will not count towards the twelve free transfers each Contract
Year, and will not incur a $25 charge. You may obtain additional information
about how to establish an automatic transfer program from your sales
representative or from us at the telephone numbers and addresses on the front
cover of this Prospectus.

<PAGE>

If the person or persons that are entitled to make transfers have
provided a Written request for the Telephone Transfer Privilege form that is
on file with us, transfers may be made pursuant to telephone instructions,
subject to the terms of the Telephone Transfer Privilege authorization. We
will honor telephone transfer instructions from any person who provides the
correct information, so there is a risk of possible loss to you if
unauthorized persons use this service in your name. Currently we attempt to
limit the availability of telephone transfer instructions only to the Owner of
the Contract for which instruction is received. Under the Telephone Transfer
Privilege we are not liable for any acts or omissions based upon instructions
that we reasonably believe to be genuine, including losses arising from errors
in the communication of transfer instructions. We have established procedures
for accepting telephone transfer instructions, which include verification of
the Contract number, the identity of the caller, both the Annuitant's and
Owner's names, and a form of personal identification from the caller. We will
mail to the Owner a written confirmation of the transaction. If several
persons seek to effect telephone transfers at or about the same time, or if
our recording equipment malfunctions, it may be impossible for you to make a
telephone transfer at the time you wish. If this occurs, you should submit a
Written transfer request. Also, if, due to malfunction or other circumstances,
the recording of your telephone request is incomplete or not fully comprehensi
ble, we will not process the transaction. The phone number for telephone
exchanges is 1-800-247- 6584.

The Contracts are not designed for professional market timing organizations or
other entities utilizing programmed and frequent transfers. We reserve the
right at any time and without prior notice to any party to terminate, suspend,
or modify our policy regarding transfers.

Automatic Rebalancing

Automatic Rebalancing within the Separate Account is available for
Contracts with an Account Value of $25,000 and larger at the time the
application for Automatic Rebalancing is received. Application for Automatic
Rebalancing can be made either at issue or after issue, and may subsequently
be discontinued.

Automatic Rebalancing occurs when funds are transferred by us among
the Separate Account Divisions so that the values in each Division match the
Owner's percentage allocation for Automatic Rebalancing then in effect.
Automatic Rebalancing is available on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual
basis, measured from the Contract Anniversary date. . Automatic Rebalancing
does not permit transfers to or from any Guarantee Period. Transfers under
Automatic Rebalancing will not count towards the twelve free transfers each
Contract Year, and will not incur a $25 charge.

<PAGE>

Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals

At any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and while the
Annuitant is still living, the Owner may make a full surrender of or partial
withdrawal from his or her Contract.

The amount payable to the Owner upon full surrender is the Owner's
Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period in which we receive a Written
surrender request in good order, minus any applicable Surrender Charge, minus
the amount of any uncollected Contract Fee (see "Annual Contract Fee") and
minus any applicable premium tax. Our current practice is to require that you
return the Contract with any request for a full surrender. After a full
surrender, or if the Owner's Account Value falls to zero, all rights of the
Owner, Annuitant or any other person with respect to the Contract will
terminate, subject to a right to reinstate the Contract. (See "One-Time
Reinstatement Privilege.") All collateral assignees of record must consent to
any full surrender or partial withdrawal.

Your Written request for a partial withdrawal should specify the
Divisions of Separate Account D, or the Guarantee Periods of the Fixed
Account, from which you wish the partial withdrawal to be made. If you do not
specify, or if the withdrawal cannot be made in accordance with your
specification, to the extent necessary the withdrawal will be taken pro-rata
from the Divisions and Guarantee Periods, based on your Account Value in each.
Partial withdrawal requests must be for at least $100 or, if less, all of your
Account Value. If your remaining Account Value in a Division or Guarantee
Period would be less than $500 as a result of the withdrawal (except for the
Money Market Division), we reserve the right to transfer, without charge, the
remaining balance to the Money Market Division. Unless you request otherwise,
upon a partial withdrawal, your Accumulation Units and Fixed Account interests
that are cancelled will have a total value equal to the amount of the
withdrawal request, and the amount payable to you will be the amount of the
withdrawal request less any Surrender Charge, and premium tax if applicable,
payable upon the partial withdrawal.

We also make available a systematic withdrawal plan under which you
may make automatic partial withdrawals at periodic intervals in a specified
amount, subject to the terms and conditions applicable to other partial
withdrawals. Additional information about how to establish such a systematic
withdrawal program may be obtained from your sales representative or from us
at the addresses and phone numbers set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus. We reserve the right to modify or terminate our procedures for
systematic withdrawals at any time.

The Code provides that a penalty tax will be imposed on certain
premature surrenders or withdrawals. For a discussion of this and other tax
implications of total surrenders and systematic and other partial withdrawals,
including withholding requirements, see "Federal Income Tax Matters."

ANNUITY PERIOD AND ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS

Annuity Commencement Date

<PAGE>

The Owner may select the Annuity Commencement Date when applying to
purchase a Contract and may change a previously-selected date at any time
prior to the beginning of an Annuity Payment Option by submitting a Written
request, subject to Company approval. The Annuity Commencement Date may be any
day of any month up to the Annuitant's 99th birthday inclusive. See "Federal
Income Tax Matters" for a description of the penalties that may attach to
distributions prior to the Annuitant's attaining age 59 1/2 under any Contract
or after April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the
Annuitant attains age 70 1/2 under Qualified Contracts.

Application of Owner Account Value

We will automatically apply your Variable Account Value in any
Division to provide Variable Annuity Payments based on that Division and your
Fixed Account Value to provide Fixed Annuity Payments. However, if you give us
other Written instructions at least thirty days prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date, we will apply your Account Value in different proportions.

We deduct any applicable state and local premium taxes from the
amount of Account Value being applied to an Annuity Payment Option. In some
cases, we may deduct a Surrender Charge from the amount being applied. See
"Surrender Charge." Subject to any such adjustments, your Variable and Fixed
Account Value are applied to an Annuity Payment Option, as discussed below, as
of the end of the Valuation Period that contains the tenth day prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date.

Fixed and Variable Annuity Payments

The amount of the first monthly Fixed or Variable Annuity Payment
will be at least as favorable as that produced by the annuity tables set forth
in the Contract, based on the amount of your Account Value that is applied to
provide the Fixed or Variable Annuity Payments. Thereafter, the amount of each
monthly Fixed Annuity Payment is fixed and specified by the terms of the
Annuity Payment Option selected.

The Account Value that is applied to provide Variable Annuity
Payments is converted to a number of Annuity Units by dividing the amount of
the first Variable Annuity Payment by the value of an Annuity Unit of the
relevant Division as of the end of the Valuation Period that includes the
tenth day prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. This number of Annuity Units
thereafter remains constant with respect to any Annuitant, and the amount of
each subsequent Variable Annuity Payment is determined by multiplying this
number by the value of an Annuity Unit as of the end of the Valuation Period
that contains the tenth day prior to the date of each payment. If the Variable
Annuity Payments are based on more than one Division, these calculations are
performed separately for each Division. The value of an Annuity Unit at the
end of a Valuation Period is the value of the Annuity Unit at the end of the
previous Valuation Period, multiplied by the net investment factor (see
"Variable Account Value") for the Valuation Period, with an offset for the
3.5% assumed interest rate used in the Contract's annuity tables.

<PAGE>

As a result of the foregoing computations, if the net investment
return for a Division for any month is at an annual rate of more than the
assumed interest rate used in the Contract's annuity tables, any Variable
Annuity Payment based on that Division will be greater than the Variable
Annuity Payment based on that Division for the previous month. If the net
investment return for a Division for any month is at an annual rate of less
than the assumed interest rate used in the Contract's annuity tables, any
variable annuity payment based on that Division will be less than the Variable
Annuity Payment based on that Division for the previous month.

Annuity Payment Options

. The Owner may elect to have annuity payments made beginning on the
Annuity Commencement Date under any one of the Annuity Payment Options
described below. We will notify the Owner 60 to 90 days prior to the scheduled
Annuity Commencement Date that the Contract is scheduled to mature, and
request that an Annuity Payment Option be selected. If the Owner has not
selected an Annuity Payment Option ten days prior to the Annuity Commencement
Date, we will proceed as follows: (1) if the scheduled Annuity Commencement
Date is any date prior to the Annuitant's 99th birthday, we will extend the
Annuity Commencement Date to the Annuitant's 99th birthday; or (2) if the
scheduled Annuity Commencement Date is the Annuitant's 99th birthday, the
Account Value less any applicable charges and premium taxes will be paid in
one sum to the Owner.

The Code imposes minimum distribution requirements that have a
bearing on the Annuity Payment Option that should be chosen in connection with
Qualified Contracts. See "Federal Income Tax Matters." We are not responsible
for monitoring or advising Owners as to whether the minimum distribution
requirements are being met, unless we have received a specific written request
to do so.

No election of any Annuity Payment Option may be made unless an
initial annuity payment of at least $100 would be provided, where only a Fixed
or only Variable Annuity Payments are elected, and $50 on each basis when a
combination of Variable and Fixed Annuity Payments is elected. If these
minimums are not met, we will first reduce the frequency of annuity payments,
and if the minimums are still not met, we will make a lump-sum payment to the
Annuitant or other properly-designated payee in the amount of the Owner's
Account Value, less any applicable Surrender Charge, any uncollected Annual
Contract Fee, and any applicable premium tax.

The Owner, or if the Owner has not done so, the Beneficiary may,
within 60 days after the death of the Owner or Annuitant, elect that any
amount due to the Beneficiary be applied under any option described below,
subject to certain tax law requirements. See "Death Proceeds." Thereafter, the
Beneficiary will have all the remaining rights and powers under the Contract
and be subject to all the terms and conditions thereof. The first annuity
payment will be made at the beginning of the second month following the month
in which we approve the settlement request. Annuity Units will be credited
based on Annuity Unit Values at the end of the Valuation Period that contains
the tenth day prior to the beginning of said second month.

When an Annuity Payment Option becomes effective, the Contract must
be delivered to our Home Office, in exchange for a payment contract providing
for the option elected.

Information about the relationship between the Annuitant's sex and
the amount of annuity payments, including requirements for gender-neutral
annuity rates in certain states and in connection with certain employee
benefit plans is set forth under "Gender of Annuitant" in the Statement of
Additional Information. See "Contents of Statement of Additional Information."

<PAGE>

Option 1 - Life Annuity - Annuity payments are payable monthly
during the lifetime of the Annuitant, ceasing with the last payment due prior
to the death of the Annuitant. It would be possible under this arrangement for
theAnnuitant or other payee to receive only one annuity payment if the
Annuitantdied prior to the second annuity payment, since no minimum number of
payments is guaranteed.

Option 2 - Life Annuity with 120, 180, or 240 Monthly Payments
Certain-Annuity payments are payable monthly during the lifetime of an
Annuitant;provided, that if the Annuitant dies during the period certain, the
Beneficiary is entitled to receive monthly payments for the remainder of the
period certain.

Option 3 - Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity - Annuity payments are
payable monthly during the lifetime of the Annuitant and another payee and
continue during the lifetime of the survivor, ceasing with the last payment
prior to the death of the survivor. It is possible under this option for the
Annuitant or other payee to receive only one annuity payment if both die
before the second annuity payment, since no minimum number of payments is
guaranteed. Ifone of these persons dies before the Annuity Commencement Date
the election of this option is revoked, the survivor becomes the sole
Annuitant, and no death proceeds are payable by virtue of the death of the
other Annuitant.

Option 4 - Payments for Designated Period - Annuity payments are
payable monthly to an Annuitant or other properly-designated payee, or at his or
her death, the Beneficiary, for a selected number of years ranging from five
to forty. If this option is selected on a variable basis, the designated
period may not exceed the life expectancy of such Annuitant or other
properly-designated payee.

Option 5 - Payments of a Specific Dollar Amount - The amount due is
paid in equal monthly installments of a designated dollar amount (not less than
$125 nor more than $200 per annum per $1,000 of the original amount due) until
the remaining balance is less than the amount of one installment. If the
person receiving these payments dies, the remaining payments continue to be
made to the Beneficiary. Payments under this option are available on a fixed
basis only. To determine the remaining balance at the end of any month, such
balance at the end of the previous month is decreased by the amount of any
installment paid during the month and the result will be accumulated at an
interest rate not less than 3.5% compounded annually. If the remaining balance
at any time is less than the amount of one installment, such balance will be
paid and will be the final payment under the option.

Under the fourth option there is no mortality guarantee by us, even
though Variable Annuity Payments will be reduced as a result of a charge to
Separate Account D which is partially for mortality risks. See "Charge to
Separate Account D."

A payee receiving Variable (but not Fixed) Annuity Payments under
the fourth option can elect at any time to commute (terminate) such option and
receive the current value of the annuity, which would be based on the values
next determined after the Written request for payment is received by us. The
current value of the annuity under the fourth option is the value of all
remaining annuity payments, assumed to be level, discounted to present value
at an annual rate of 3.5%. Other than by election of such a lump-sum payment
under the fourth option, an Annuity Payment Option may not be terminated once
annuity payments have commenced.

<PAGE>

Under federal tax regulations, the election of the fourth or fifth
options may be treated in the same manner as a surrender of the total account.
For tax consequences of such treatment, see "Federal Income Tax Matters."
Also, in such a case, tax-deferred treatment of subsequent earnings may not be
available.

Alternative Amount under Fixed Life Annuity Options - Each Contract
provides that when Fixed Annuity Payments are to be made under one of the
first three Annuity Payment Options described above, the Owner (or if the
Owner has not elected a payment option, the Beneficiary) may elect monthly
payments to the Annuitant or other properly-designated payee equal to the
monthly payment available under similar circumstances based on single payment
immediate fixed annuity rates then in use by us. The purpose of this provision
is to assure the Annuitant that, at retirement, if the fixed annuity purchase
rate then offered by us for new single payment immediate annuity contracts is
more favorable than the annuity rates guaranteed by the Contract, the
Annuitant or other properly- designated payee will be given the benefit of the
new annuity rates.

In lieu of monthly payments, payments may be elected on a quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis, in which case the amount of each annuity payment
will be determined on a basis consistent with that described above for monthly
payments.

Transfers

After the Annuity Commencement Date, the Annuitant or other
properly-designated payee may make one transfer every 180 days among the
available Divisions of Separate Account D or from the Divisions to a fixed
Annuity Payment Option. No charge will be assessed for such transfer. No
transfers from a fixed to a variable Annuity Payment Option are permitted. If
a transfer would cause the value that is attributable to a Contract in any
Division to fall below $500, we reserve the right to transfer the remaining
balance in that Division in the same proportion as the transfer request.
Transfers will be effected at the end of the Valuation Period in which we
receive the Written transfer request at our Home Office. We reserve the right
to terminate or restrict transfers at any time.

DEATH PROCEEDS

Death Proceeds Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date

The death proceeds described below are payable to the Beneficiary
under the Contract if, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, any of the
following events occurs: (a) the Annuitant dies and no Contingent Annuitant
has been named under a Non-Qualified contract; (b) the Annuitant dies and we
also receive proof of death of any named Contingent Annuitant; or (c) the
Owner (including the first to die in the case of joint Owners) of a
Non-Qualified Contract dies, regardless of whether said deceased Owner was
also the Annuitant (however, if the Beneficiary is the Owner's surviving
spouse, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract as described in the
second paragraph below). The death proceeds, prior to deduction of any
applicable premium taxes, will equal the greatest of (1) the sum of all net
purchase payments made (less any previously-deducted premium taxes and all
prior partial withdrawals), (2) the Owner's Account Value as of the end of the
Valuation Period in which we receive, at our Home Office, proof of death and
the Written request as to the manner of payment, or (3) the Minimum Death
Benefit, as defined below, plus all net purchase payments less all prior
withdrawals made after determination of the Minimum Death Benefit.

25
<PAGE>
THE AMOUNT SPECIFIED IN (3) ABOVE IS NOT AN AVAILABLE OPTION IN
ALL STATES, AND YOU SHOULD THEREFORE CONSULT YOUR SALES REPRESENTATIVE OR OUR
HOME OFFICE AS TO WHETHER IT WILL APPLY TO YOU. IN THOSE STATES WHERE (3) IS
NOT AVAILABLE, THE DEATH PROCEEDS WILL EQUAL THE GREATER OF (1) OR (2) ABOVE.

Prior to the fifth Contract Anniversary, the Minimum Death Benefit
will be equal to the sum of all net purchase payments made since the date of
issue, less the sum of all partial withdrawals made during the same period.

On the fifth Contract Anniversary, if the Annuitant has not attained
age 81, the Minimum Death Benefit will be the highest of the five Account
Values at the end of each of the first five Contract Years after increasing
such values by the sum of all net purchase payments less the sum of all
partial withdrawals made since the end of such Contract Years.

On each Contract Anniversary thereafter (if prior to the Annuitant's
age 81), the Minimum Death Benefit will be the greater of (1) the Minimum
Death Benefit as of the previous anniversary, plus the sum of all net purchase
payments less the sum of all partial withdrawals made during the Contract
Year, or (2) the Account Value as of the current Contract Anniversary.

The Minimum Death Benefit will not be reset after age 80. Therefore,
if the Annuitant is age 76 or older on the date of issue, the Minimum Death
Benefit will not be reset on the fifth anniversary. The Account Value is the
value after deduction for fees. Net purchase payments are purchase payments
less applicable premium tax.

We will pay the death proceeds to the Beneficiary as of the date the
proceeds become payable. Such date is the end of the Valuation Period in which
we receive proof of the Owner's or Annuitant's death and a Written request in
good order from the Beneficiary as to the manner of payment.

If the Owner has not already done so, the Beneficiary may, within
sixty days after the date the death proceeds become payable , elect to receive
the death proceeds as a lump sum or in the form of one of the Annuity Payment
Options provided in the Contract. See "Annuity Payment Options." If we receive
no request as to the manner of payment, we will make a lump-sum payment, based
on values determined at that time.

If the Owner under a Non-Qualified Contract dies prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date, the Code requires that all amounts payable under
the Contract be distributed (a) within five years of the date of death or (b)
as annuity payments beginning within one year of the date of death and
continuing over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the
Beneficiary. If the Beneficiary is the Owner's surviving spouse, the spouse
may elect to continue the Contract as the new Owner and, if the original Owner
was the Annuitant, as the new Annuitant. If the Owner is not a natural person,
these requirements apply upon the death of the primary Annuitant within the
meaning of the Code. Failure to satisfy these Code distribution requirements
may result in serious adverse tax consequences. Under a parallel section of
the Code, similar requirements apply to retirement plans in connection with
which Qualified Contracts are issued.

Death Proceeds After the Annuity Commencement Date

If the Annuitant dies following the Annuity Commencement Date, the only
amounts payable

<PAGE>

to the Beneficiary or other properly-designated payee are any continuing
payments provided for under the Annuity Payment Option selected. See "Annuity
Payment Options." In such a case, the payee will have all the remaining rights
and powers under a Contract and be subject to all the terms and conditions
thereof. Also, if the Annuitant dies following the Annuity Commencement Date,
no previously named Contingent Annuitant can become the Annuitant.

If the payee under a Non-Qualified Contract dies after the Annuity
Commencement Date, any remaining amounts payable under the terms of the
Annuity Payment Option must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the
method of distribution then in effect. If the payee is not a natural person,
this requirement applies upon the death of the primary Annuitant within the
meaning of the Code. Failure to satisfy these requirements of the Code may
result in serious adverse tax consequences. Under a parallel section of the
Code, similar requirements apply to the retirement plans in connection with
which Qualified Contracts are issued.

Proof of Death

We accept the following as proof of any person's death: a copy of a
certified death certificate; a copy of a certified decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; a written statement by a
medical doctor who attended the deceased at the time of death; or any other
proof satisfactory to us.

Once we have paid the death proceeds, the Contract terminates and we
have no further obligations thereunder.

CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS

Premium Taxes

When applicable, we will deduct an amount to cover premium taxes imposed by
certain states. Such deduction will be made, in accordance with applicable
state law:

(1) from purchase payment(s) when received; or
(2) from the Owner's Account Value at the time annuity payments begin; or
(3) from the amount of any partial withdrawal; or (4) from proceeds payable
upon termination of the Contract for any other reason, including death
of the Annuitant or Owner, or surrender of the Contract.

If premium tax is paid, AG Life may reimburse itself for such tax when
deduction is being made under items 2, 3, or 4 above calculated by multiplying
the sum of Purchase Payments being withdrawn by the applicable premium tax
percentage.

Applicable premium tax rates depend upon the Owner's then-current place
of residence. Applicable rates currently range from 0% to 3.5% and are subject
to change by legislation, administrative interpretations or judicial acts. We
will not make a profit on this charge.

Surrender Charge

The Surrender Charge reimburses us for part of our expenses related to
distributing the Contracts.

<PAGE>

We believe, however, that the amount of such expenses will exceed the
amount of revenues generated by the Surrender Charge. We will pay such excess
out of our general surplus, which might include profits from the charge for
the assumption of mortality and expense risks.

Unless a withdrawal is exempt from the Surrender Charge (as discussed
below), the Surrender Charge is a percentage of the amount of each purchase
payment that is withdrawn during the first seven years after it was received.
The percentage declines depending on how many years have passed since the
withdrawn purchase payment was originally credited to your Account Value, as
follows:

Surrender Charge as a
Year of Purchase Percentage of Purchase
Payment Withdrawal Payment Withdrawn

1st 6%
2nd 6%
3rd 5%
4th 5%
5th 4%
6th 3%
7th 2%
Thereafter 0%

Only for the purpose of computing the Surrender Charge, the earliest
purchase payments are deemed to be withdrawn first, and before any amounts in
excess of purchase payments are withdrawn from your Account Value. The
following transactions will be considered as withdrawals for purposes of
assessing the Surrender Charge: total surrender, partial withdrawal,
commencement of an Annuity Payment Option, and termination due to insufficient
Account Value.

Nevertheless, the Surrender Charge will not apply to
withdrawals in the following circumstances:

The amount of withdrawals that exceeds the cumulative amount of your
purchase payments;

Death of the Annuitant, at any age, after the Annuity Commencement
Date;

Death of the Annuitant, at any age, prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date, provided no Contingent Annuitant survives;

Death of the Owner, including the first to die in the case of
joint Owners of a Non-Qualified Contract;

Annuitization over at least 10 years, or life contingent
annuitization where the life expectancy is at least 10 years;

Within the 30 day window under the One-Time Reinstatement Privilege;

. If the Owner or Annuitant has been confined to a long-term care
facility, or has incurred certain extraordinary medical expenses, or
is subject to a terminal illness (to the extent that the rider for
these matters is available in your state), after the first Contract
year as set forth under "Long-Term Care, Catastrophic Medical
Expenses and Terminal Illness".

<PAGE>

In the State of Washington, beginning after the Annuitant has attained
age 63, surrender charges which would otherwise be assessed against any
withdrawal may be reduced.

The Surrender Charge also does not apply to the surrender of a Contract,
or to the withdrawal of Contract Value (limited to the Variable Account Value
and the one year Guarantee Period) of a Contract, issued to owners who are:
(1) employees or registered representatives (or the spouses or minor children
of employees or registered representatives) of any broker-dealer authorized to
sell the Contracts , or (2) officers, directors, or bona-fide full-time
employees of AG Life or American General Securities Incorporated, the
principal underwriter of the Contracts, or their affiliated companies, or Van
Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc., the distributor of the Contracts.
These waivers of Surrender Charge are based upon the Contract Owner's status
at the time the Contract was purchased.

In addition, the Surrender Charge does not apply to the portion of your
first withdrawal or total surrender in any Contract Year that does not exceed
10% of the amount of your purchase payments that (a) have not previously been
withdrawn and (b) have been credited to the Contract for at least one year. If
multiple withdrawals are made during a Contract Year, the amount eligible for
the free withdrawal will be recalculated at the time of each withdrawal. After
the first Contract Year, non- automatic and automatic withdrawals may be made
in the same Contract Year subject to the 10% limitation. For withdrawals under
a systematic withdrawal plan, Purchase Payments credited for 30 days or more
are eligible for the 10% free withdrawal.

The Surrender Charge will not apply to any amounts withdrawn which are in
excess of the amount permitted by the 10% free withdrawal privilege, described
above, if such amounts are required to be withdrawn to obtain or retain
favorable tax treatment. This exception is subject to our approval.

A free withdrawal pursuant to any of the foregoing Surrender Charge
exceptions is not deemed to be a withdrawal of purchase payments, except for
purposes of computing the 10% free withdrawal described in the preceding
paragraph. A penalty tax may be imposed on distributions if the recipient is
under age 59 1/2. See "Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions."

Transfer Charges

The charges to defray the expense of effecting transfers are described
under "Transfer, Automatic Rebalancing, Surrender and Partial Withdrawal of
Owner Account Value - Transfers" and "Annuity Period and Annuity Payment
Options - Transfers." These charges are designed not to yield a profit to us.

Annual Contract Fee

An Annual Contract Fee of $30 will be deducted from each Owner's Account
Value at the end of each Contract Year prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.
This Fee is for administrative expenses (which do not include expenses of
distributing the Contracts), and we do not expect that the revenues we will
derive from this Fee will exceed such expenses. Unless paid directly, the Fee

<PAGE>

will be allocated among the Guarantee Periods and Divisions in proportion
to your Account Value in each. The entire Fee for the year will be deducted
from the proceeds of any full surrender. We reserve the right to waive the
Fee.

Charge to Separate Account D

To offset other administrative expenses not covered by the Annual Contract
Fee discussed above, and to compensate us for assuming mortality and expense
risks under the Contracts, Separate Account D will incur a daily charge at an
annualized rate of 1.40% of the average daily net asset value of Separate
Account D attributable to the Contracts. Of this amount, .15% is for
administrative expenses and 1.25% is for the assumption of mortality and
expense risks. We do not expect to earn a profit on that portion of the charge
which is for administrative expenses, but we do expect to derive a profit from
the portion which is for the assumption of mortality and expense risks. There
is no necessary relationship between the amount of administrative charges
imposed on a given Contract and the amount of expenses actually attributable
to that Contract.

In assuming the mortality risk, we are subject to the risk that our
actuarial estimate of mortality rates may prove erroneous and that Annuitants
will live longer than expected, or that more Owners or Annuitants than
expected will die at a time when the death benefit guaranteed by us is higher
than the net surrender value of their interests in the Contracts. In assuming
the expense risk, we are subject to the risk that the revenues from the
expense charges under the Contracts (which charges are guaranteed not to be
increased) will not cover our expense of administering the Contracts.

Miscellaneous

Charges and expenses are paid out of the assets of each Fund, as described
in the prospectus relating to that Fund. We reserve the right to impose
charges or establish reserves for any federal or local taxes incurred or that
may be incurred by us, and that may be deemed attributable to the Con tracts.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan

Automatic partial withdrawals, with minimum payments of $100, may be made
at periodic intervals through a systematic withdrawal program and the Contract
Owner may choose from payment schedules of monthly, quarterly, semi-annually,
or annually, and may start, stop, increase or decrease payments. Withdrawals
may start as early as 30 days after the issue date of the Contract and may be
taken from the Fixed Account or any Division, as specified by the Owner.
Systematic withdrawals are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to
other partial withdrawals, including Surrender Charges and exceptions to
Surrender Charges.

One-Time Reinstatement Privilege

If the Account Value is at least $500, the Owner may elect to reinvest all
of the proceeds that were previously liquidated from the Contract within the
past 30 days and have the Surrender Charge and any Annual Contract Fee not
then due credited back to the Contract. The funds will be reinvested at the
value next following the date of receipt of the reinstated Account Value.
Unless you request otherwise, the reinstated Account Value will be allocated
among the Divisions and Guarantee Periods in the same proportions as the prior
surrender. You may use this privilege only once.

<PAGE>

Reduction in Surrender Charges or Administrative Charges

We may reduce the Surrender Charges or administrative charges imposed
under certain Qualified Contracts in connection with employer-sponsored plans.
Any such reductions will reflect differences in costs or services (due to such
factors as reduced sales expenses or administrative efficiencies relating to
serving a large number of employees of a single employer and functions assumed
by the employer that we otherwise would have to perform) and will not be
unfairly discriminatory as to any person.

LONG-TERM CARE, CATASTROPHIC MEDICAL
EXPENSES AND TERMINAL ILLNESS

THE RIDER DESCRIBED BELOW IS NOT AVAILABLE IN ALL STATES, AND YOU SHOULD
THEREFORE CONSULT YOUR SALES REPRESENTATIVE OR OUR HOME OFFICE AS TO WHETHER
IT WILL APPLY TO YOU. THERE IS NO SEPARATE CHARGE FOR THIS RIDER.

Long-Term Care

Pursuant to a special Contract rider, after the first Contract Year, no
Surrender Charge will apply during any period of time that the Annuitant is
confined for 30 days or more (or within 30 days after discharge) in a hospital
or state-licensed in-patient nursing facility. We must receive Written proof
of such confinement that is satisfactory to us.

In addition, after the first Contract Year, no Surrender Charge will
apply if the Owner, Owner's spouse, or the Owner's or Annuitant's dependent is
confined for 30 days or more in a hospital or state-licensed in-patient
nursing facility, and such confinement is expected to be permanent. We must
receive Written proof of such confinement that is satisfactory to us.

Catastrophic Medical Expenses

The rider provides that, after the first Contract Year no Surrender
Charge will apply to a partial or total surrender equal to or less than the
amount of certain major medical expenses. To consider this waiver, we must
receive Written proof satisfactory to us that the Owner or Annuitant is
responsible in one twelve month period (beginning after the first Contract
Year) for payment, after receiving all reimbursements, of $50,000 or more of
medical expenses incurred by the Owner, the Annuitant, and/or one or more
dependents of the Owner or the Annuitant.

Terminal Illness

The rider also provides that, after the first Contract Year, no Surrender
Charge will apply if we have received a physician's Written certification that
the Owner or Annuitant is terminally ill and not expected to live more than
twelve months and have waived or exercised our right to a second physician's
opinion.

OTHER ASPECTS OF THE CONTRACTS

Only an officer of AG Life can agree to change or waive the provisions of
any Contract. The Contracts are non-participating and are not entitled to
share in any dividends, profits or surplus of AG Life.

<PAGE>

Owners, Annuitants, and Beneficiaries; Assignments

The Owner of a Contract will be the same as the Annuitant, unless the
purchaser designates a different Owner when applying to purchase a Contract.
In the case of joint ownership, both Owners must join in the exercise of any
rights or privileges under the Contract. The Annuitant and any Contingent
Annuitant are designated in the application for a Contract and may not
thereafter be changed.

The Beneficiary and any Contingent Beneficiary are designated when
applying to purchase a Contract. A Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary may
be changed by the Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, while the
Annuitant is still alive, and by the payee following the Annuity Commencement
Date. Any designation of a new Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary is
effective as of the date it is signed but will not affect any payments we make
or action we take before receiving the Written request. We also need the
Written consent of any irrevocably-named Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary
before making a change. Under certain retirement programs, spousal consent may
be required to name a Beneficiary other than the spouse or to change a
Beneficiary to a person other than the spouse. We are not responsible for the
validity of any designation of a Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary.

If no named Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary is living at the time
any payment is to be made, the Owner will be the Beneficiary, or if the Owner
is not then living, the Owner's estate will be the Beneficiary.

Rights under a Qualified Contract may be assigned only in certain narrow
circumstances referred to therein. Owners and other payees may assign their
rights under Non-Qualified Contracts, including their ownership rights. We
take no responsibility for the validity of any assignment. A change in
ownership rights must be made in Writing and a copy must be sent to our Home
Office. The change will be effective on the date it was made, although we are
not bound by a change until the date we record it. The rights under a Contract
are subject to any assignment of record at our Home Office. An assignment or
pledge of a Contract may have adverse tax consequences. See "Federal Income
Tax Matters."

Reports

We will mail to Owners (or persons receiving payments following the
Annuity Commencement Date), at their last known address of record, any reports
and communications required by applicable law or regulation. You should
therefore give us prompt written notice of any address change.

Rights Reserved by Us

Upon notice to the Owner, a Contract may be modified by us, to the extent
necessary in order to (1) operate Separate Account D in any form permitted
under the 1940 Act or in any other form permitted by law; (2) transfer any
assets in any Division to another Division, or to one or more separate
accounts, or the Fixed Account; (3) add, combine or remove Divisions in
Separate Account D, or combine the Separate Account with another separate
account; (4) add, restrict or remove Guarantee Periods of the Fixed Account;
(5) make any new Division available to you on a basis to be determined by us;
(6)substitute, for the shares held in any Division, the shares of another Fund
or the shares of another investment company or any other investment permitted
by law; (7) make any changes required by the Code or by any other applicable
law, regulation or interpretation in order to continue treatment of the
Contract as an annuity; or (8) make any changes required to comply with

<PAGE>

the rules of any Fund. When required by law, we will obtain your approval of
changes and the approval of any appropriate regulatory authority.

Payment and Deferment

Amounts surrendered or withdrawn from a Contract will normally be paid
within seven calendar days after the end of the Valuation Period in which we
receive the Written surrender or withdrawal request in good order. In the case
of payment of death proceeds, if we do not receive a Written request as to the
manner of payment within 60 days after the death proceeds become payable,
any death benefit proceeds will be paid as a lump sum, normally within seven
calendar days after the end of the Valuation Period that contains the last day
of said 60 day period. We reserve the right, however, to defer payment or
transfers of amounts out of the Fixed Account for up to six months. Also, we
reserve the right to defer payment of that portion of your Account Value that
is attributable to a purchase payment made by check for a reasonable period of
time (not to exceed 15 days) to allow the check to clear the banking system.

Finally, we reserve the right to defer payment of any surrender and
annuity payment amounts or death benefit amounts of any portion of the
Variable Account Value if (a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than
customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock
Exchange is restricted; (b) an emergency exists, as a result of which disposal
of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably
practicable to fairly determine the Variable Account Value; or (c) the
Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits the delay for the
protection of Owners. Transfers and allocations of Account Value among the
Divisions and the Fixed Account may also be postponed under these
circumstances.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

General

It is not possible to comment on all of the federal income tax
consequences associated with the Contracts. Federal income tax law is complex
and its application to a particular person may vary according to facts
peculiar to such person. Consequently, this discussion is not intended as tax
advice, and you should consult with a competent tax adviser before purchasing
a Contract.

The discussion is based on the law, regulations and interpretations
existing on the date of this Prospectus. These authorities, however, are
subject to change by Congress, the Treasury Department and judicial decisions.

The discussion does not address state or local tax or estate and gift tax
consequences associated with the Contracts.

Non-Qualified Contracts

Purchase Payments. Purchasers of a Contract that does not qualify for
special tax treatment and is therefore "Non-Qualified" may not deduct from
their gross income the amount of purchase payments made.

Tax Deferral Prior to Annuity Commencement Date. Owners who are natural
persons are not taxed currently on increases in their Account Value resulting
from interest earned in the Fixed Account or, if certain diversification
requirements are met, the investment experience of Separate Account D. This
treatment applies to Separate Account D only if it invests in Funds that are
"adequately diversified" in accordance with Treasury Department regulations.
Although we do not

<PAGE>

control the Funds, the investment adviser to the Funds has undertaken to use
its best efforts to operate the Funds in compliance with these diversification
requirements. A Contract investing in a Fund that failed to meet the
diversification requirements would subject Owners to current taxation of
income in the Contract that has not previously been taxed. Income means the
excess of the Account Value over the Owner's investment in the Contract
(discussed below).

Current regulations do not provide guidance as to any circumstances in
which control over allocation of values among different investment
alternatives may cause Owners or persons receiving annuity payments to be
treated as the owners of Separate Account D assets for tax purposes. We
reserve the right to amend the Contracts in any way necessary to avoid any
such result. The Treasury Department has stated that it may establish
standards in this regard through regulations or rulings. Such standards may
apply only prospectively, although retroactive application is possible if such
standards are considered not to embody a new position.

Owners that are not natural persons -- that is, Owners such as
corporations -- are taxed currently on annual increases in their Account Value
unless an exception applies. Exceptions exist for, among other things, Owners
that are not natural persons but that hold the Contract as an agent for a
natural person.

Taxation of Annuity Payments. Each annuity payment received after the
Annuity Commencement Date is excludible from gross income in part. In the case
of Fixed Annuity Payments, the excludible portion is determined by multiplying
the amount paid by the ratio of the investment in the Contract (discussed
below) to the expected return under the fixed Annuity Payment Option. In the
case of Variable Annuity Payments, the amount paid is multiplied by the ratio
of the investment in the Contract to the number of expected payments. In both
cases, the remaining portion of each annuity payment, and all payments made
after the investment in the Contract has been reduced to zero, are included in
the payee's income. Should annuity payments cease on account of the death of
the Annuitant before the investment in the Contract has been fully recovered,
the payee is allowed a deduction for the unrecovered amount. If the payee is
the Annuitant, the deduction is taken on the final tax return. If the payee is
a Beneficiary, that Beneficiary may recover the balance of the total
investment as payments are made or on the Beneficiary's final tax return. An
Owner's "investment in the Contract" is the amount equal to the portions of
purchase payments made by or on behalf of the Owner that have not been
excluded or deducted from the individual's gross income, less amounts
previously received under the Contract that were not included in income.

Taxation of Partial Withdrawals and Total Surrenders. Partial withdrawals
from a Contract are includible in income to the extent that the Owner's
Account Value exceeds the investment in the Contract. In the event a Contract
is surrendered in its entirety, any amount received in excess of the
investment in the Contract is includible in income, and any remaining amount
received is excludible from income. All annuity contracts issued by us to the
same Owner during any calendar year are to be aggregated for purposes of
determining the amount of any distribution that is includible in gross income.

Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions. A penalty tax is imposed on
distributions under a Contract equal to 10% of the amount includible in
income. The penalty tax will not apply, however, to (1) distributions made
after the recipient attains age 59 1/2, (2) distributions on account of the
recipient's becoming disabled, (3) distributions that are made after the death
of the Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date or the payee after the
Annuity Commencement Date (or if such person is not a natural person, that are
made after the death of the primary Annuitant, as defined in the Code), and
(4) distributions that are part of a series of substantially equal periodic
payments made

<PAGE>

over the life (or life expectancy) of the Annuitant or the joint life (or
joint life expectancies) of the Annuitant and the Beneficiary. Premature
distributions may result, for example, from an early Annuity Commencement
Date, an early surrender, partial withdrawal from or assignment of a Contract,
or the early death of an Annuitant, unless clause (3) above applies.

Payment of Death Proceeds. Special rules apply to the distribution of any
death proceeds payable under the Contract. See "Death Proceeds."

Assignments and Loans. An assignment, loan, or pledge with respect to a
Non-Qualified Contract is taxed in the same manner as a partial withdrawal, as
described above. Repayment of a loan or release of an assignment or pledge is
treated as a new purchase payment.

Individual Retirement Annuities ("IRAs")

Purchase Payments. Individuals who are not active participants in a
tax-qualified retirement plan may, in any year, deduct from their taxable
income purchase payments for an IRA equal to the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of
the individual's earned income, plus $250 for the benefit of a noncompensated
spouse. No more than $2,000 may be contributed to either spouse's IRA for any
year. Single persons who participate in a tax-qualified retirement plan and
who have adjusted gross income not in excess of $25,000 may fully deduct their
IRA purchase payments. Those who have adjusted gross income in excess of
$35,000 will not be able to deduct purchase payments, and for those with
adjusted gross income between $25,000 and $35,000 the deduction is phased out
based on the amount of income. Similarly, the otherwise deductible portion of
an IRA purchase payment will be phased out, in the case of married individuals
filing joint tax returns, with adjusted gross income between $40,000 and
$50,000, and in the case of married individuals filing separately, with
adjusted gross income between $0 and $10,000. Individuals who are precluded
from deducting all or a portion of their purchase payments because of
participation in a tax-qualified retirement plan may still make non-deductible
contributions on which earnings will be tax deferred. The total of deductible
and non-deductible contributions may not exceed the lesser of $2,000 or 100%
of earned income, plus $250 for the benefit of a noncompensated spouse.

Distributions from an IRA. Amounts received under an IRA as annuity
payments, upon partial withdrawal or total surrender, or on the death of the
Annuitant, are included in the Annuitant's or other recipient's income. If
nondeductible purchase payments have been made, a pro rata portion of such
distributions may not be included in income. A 10% penalty tax is imposed on
the amount includible in gross income from distributions that occur before the
Annuitant attains age 59 1/2 and that are not made on account of death or
disability, with certain exceptions. These exceptions include distributions
that are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over
the life (or life expectancy) of the Annuitant or the joint lives (or joint
life expectancies) of the Annuitant and the Beneficiary. Distributions of
minimum amounts specified by the Code must commence by April 1 of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which the Annuitant attains age 70 1/2.
Additional distribution rules apply after the death of the Annuitant. These
rules are similar to those governing distributions on the death of an Owner
(or other payee during the Annuity Period) under a Non- Qualified Contract.
See "Death Proceeds." Failure to comply with the minimum distribution rules
will result in the imposition of a penalty tax of 50% of the amount by which
the minimum distribution required exceeds the actual distribution.

<PAGE>

Tax Free Rollovers. Amounts may be transferred in a tax-free rollover from
a tax-qualified plan to an IRA (and from one IRA to another IRA) if certain
conditions are met. All taxable distributions ("eligible rollover
distributions") from tax qualified plans are eligible to be rolled over with
the exception of (1) annuities paid over a life or life expectancy, (2)
installments for a period of ten years or more, and (3) required minimum
distributions under section 401(a)(9) of the Code.

Rollovers may be accomplished in two ways. First, an eligible rollover
distribution may be paid directly to an IRA (a "direct rollover"). Second, the
distribution may be paid directly to the Annuitant and then, within 60 days of
receipt, the amount may be rolled over to an IRA. However, any amount that was
not distributed as a direct rollover will be subject to 20% income tax
withholding.

SIRAs. Spousal individual retirement annuities ("SIRAs") are subject to
the same federal income tax treatment and rules that are discussed above with
respect to IRAs generally.

Simplified Employee Pension Plans

Employees and employers may establish an IRA plan known as a simplified
employee pension plan ("SEP"), if certain requirements are met. An employee
may make contributions to a SEP in accordance with the rules applicable to
IRAs discussed above. Employer contributions to an employee's SEP are
deductible by the employer and are not currently includible in the taxable
income of the employee. However, total employer contributions are limited to
15% of an employee's compensation or $30,000, whichever is less.

Other Qualified Plans

Purchase Payments. Purchase payments made by an employer under a pension,
profit-sharing, or annuity plan qualified under section 401 or 403(a) of the
Code, not in excess of certain limits, are deductible by the employer. Such
purchase payments are also excluded from the current income of the employee.

Distributions Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. To the extent that
purchase payments are includible in an employee's taxable income, they (less
any amounts previously received that were not includible in the employee's
taxable income) represent his or her "investment in the Contract." Amounts
received prior to the Annuity Commencement Date under a Contract in connection
with a section 401 or 403(a) plan are generally allocated on a pro-rata basis
between the employee's investment in the Contract and other amounts. With
respect to the taxable portion of a lump-sum distribution (as defined in the
Code), an averaging rule may be applicable that allows computation of tax as
if the amount were received over a period of five years. A lump-sum
distribution will not be includible in income in the year of distribution if
the employee transfers, within 60 days of receipt, all amounts received, less
the employee's investment in the Contract), to another tax-qualified plan or
to an individual retirement account or an IRA in accordance with the rollover
rules under the Code. However, any amount that is not distributed as a direct
rollover will be subject to 20% income tax withholding. See "Tax Free
Rollovers." Special tax treatment may be available in the case of certain
lump-sum distributions that are not rolled over to another plan or IRA.

A 10% penalty tax is imposed on the amount includible in gross income from
distributions that occur before the employee's attaining age 59 1/2 and that
are not made on account of death or dis ability, with certain exceptions.
These exceptions include distributions that are (1) part of a series

<PAGE>

of substantially equal periodic payments beginning after the employee
separates from service and made over the life (or life expectancy) of the
employee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the employee and
the Beneficiary, (2) made after the employee's separation from service on
account of early retirement after age 55, or (3) made to an alternate payee
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.

Annuity Payments. A portion of annuity payments received under Contracts
in connection with section 401 and 403(a) plans after the Annuity Commencement
Date may be excludible from the employee's income, in the manner discussed
above under "Non-Qualified Contracts - Taxation of Annuity Payments."
Distributions of minimum amounts specified by the Code generally must commence
by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
employee attains age 70 1/2. Failure to comply with the minimum distribution
rules will result in the imposition of a penalty tax of 50% of the amount by
which the minimum distribution required exceeds the actual distribution.

Self-Employed Individuals. Various special rules apply to tax-qualified
plans established by self- employed individuals.

Private Employer Unfunded Deferred Compensation Plans

Purchase Payments. Private taxable employers may establish unfunded,
Non-Qualified deferred compensation plans for a select group of management or
highly compensated employees and/or for independent contractors.

These types of programs allow individuals to defer receipt of up to 100%
of compensation that would otherwise be includible in income and therefore to
defer the payment of federal income taxes on such amounts, as well as earnings
thereon. Purchase payments made by the employer, however, are not immediately
deductible by the employer, and the employer is currently taxed on any
increase in Account Value.

Deferred compensation plans represent a contractual promise on the part of
the employer to pay current compensation at some future time. The Contract is
owned by the employer and is subject to the claims of the employer's
creditors. The individual has no right or interest in the Contract and is
entitled only to payment from the employer's general assets in accordance with
plan provisions.

Taxation of Distributions. Amounts received by an individual from a
private employer deferred compensation plan are includible in gross income for
the taxable year in which such amounts are paid or otherwise made available.

Excess Distributions - 15% Tax

Certain persons, particularly those who participate in more than one
tax-qualified retirement plan, may be subject to an additional tax of 15% on
certain excess aggregate distributions from those plans. In general, excess
distributions are taxable distributions for all tax qualified plans in excess
of a specified annual limit for payments made in the form of an annuity
(currently $150,000) or five times the annual limit for lump-sum
distributions.

Federal Income Tax Withholding and Reporting

Amounts distributed from a Contract, to the extent includible in taxable
income, are subject to federal income tax withholding. The payee may, however,
elect to have no income tax withheld by

<PAGE>

submitting a withholding exemption certificate to us.

In some cases, if you own more than one Qualified annuity contract, such
contracts may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the federal
tax law requirement for minimum distributions after age 70 1/2 has been
satisfied. If, under this aggregation procedure, you are relying on
distributions pursuant to another annuity contract to satisfy the minimum
distribution requirement under a Qualified Contract issued by us, you must
sign a waiver releasing us from any liability to you for not calculating and
reporting the amount of taxes and penalties payable for failure to make
required minimum distributions under the Contract.

Taxes Payable by AG Life and Separate Account D

AG Life is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. The
operations of Separate Account D are part of the total operations of AG Life
and are not taxed separately. Under existing federal income tax laws, AG Life
is not taxed on investment income derived by Separate Account D (including
realized and unrealized capital gains) with respect to the Contracts. AG Life
reserves the right to allocate to the Contracts any federal, state or other
tax liability that may result in the future from maintenance of Separate
Account D or the Contracts.

Certain Funds may elect to pass through to AG Life any taxes withheld by
foreign taxing jurisdictions on foreign source income. Such an election will
result in additional taxable income and income tax to AG Life. The amount of
additional income tax, however, may be more than offset by credits for the
foreign taxes withheld which are also passed through. These credits may
provide a benefit to AG Life.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS

The Contracts will be sold by individuals who, in addition to being
licensed by state insurance authorities to sell the Contracts of AG Life, are
also registered representatives of American General Securities Incorporated
("AGSI"), the principal underwriter of the Contracts, or registered
representatives of Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc. or other
broker-dealer firms or representatives of other firms that are exempt from
broker-dealer regulation. AGSI, Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc.
and any such other broker-dealer firms are registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as
broker-dealers and are members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. AGSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AG Life. AGSI's principal
business address is the same as that of our Home Office. The interests under
the Contracts are offered on a continuous basis. AGSI and Van Kampen American
Capital Distributors, Inc. have entered into certain revenue and cost-sharing
arrangements in connection with the marketing of the Contracts.

AG Life compensates Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc. ("VKAC
Distributors") and other broker-dealers that sell the Contracts according to
one or more compensation schedules. The schedules provide for commissions
ranging from 4.75% up to 6% of first year purchase payments received pursuant
to the Contracts. In addition, depending on the schedule selected, AG Life may
pay continuing "trail" commissions ranging from 0.25% to .050% of Contract
Account Value. AG

<PAGE>

Life also has agreed to pay VKAC Distributors for its promotional activities
such as the solicitation of selling group agreements between broker-dealers
and AG Life, agent appointments with AG Life, printing and development of
sales literature to be used by AG Life appointed agents as well as related
marketing support and related special promotional campaigns. These
distribution expenses do not result in any additional charges under the
Contracts that are not described under "Charges under the Contracts."

LEGAL MATTERS

The legality of the Contracts described in this Prospectus has been passed
upon by Steven A. Glover, Esquire, with the law department of AG Life.
Freedman, Levy, Kroll & Simonds, Washington, D.C., has advised AG Life on
certain federal securities law matters.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION

This Disclosure Statement is designed for present owners of IRAs issued by
American General Life Insurance Company.

This Disclosure Statement is not part of your contract but contains general
and standardized information which must be furnished to each person who is
issued an Individual Retirement Annuity. You must refer to your policy to
determine your specific rights and obligations thereunder.

REVOCATION

If you are purchasing a new or rollover IRA, then if for any reason you, as a
recipient of this Disclosure Statement, decide within 20 days from the date
your policy is delivered that you do not desire to retain your IRA, written
notification to the Company must be mailed, together with your policy, within
that period. If such notice is mailed within 20 days, all contributions,
without adjustments for any applicable sales commissions or administrative
expenses, will be refunded.

Mail notification of revocation and your policy to:

American General Life Insurance Company
Annuity Administration Department
P. O. Box 1401
Houston, Texas 77251-1401
(Phone No. (800) 247-6584).

ELIGIBILITY

Under Internal Revenue Code ("Code") Section 219, if neither you, nor your
spouse, is an active participant (see A. below), you may make a contribution
of up to the lesser of $2,000 (or $2,250 in the case of a Spousal IRA) or 100%
of compensation and take a deduction for the entire amount contributed. If you
are an active participant, but have an adjusted gross income (AGI) below a
certain level (see B. below), you may still make a deductible contribution.
If, however, you or your spouse is an active participant and your combined AGI
is above the specified level, the amount of the deductible contribution you
may make to an IRA will be phased down and eventually eliminated.

A. Active Participant

You are an "active participant" for a year if you are covered by a retirement
plan. You are covered by a "retirement plan" for a year if your employer or
union has a retirement plan under which money is added to your account or you
are eligible to earn retirement credits. For example, if you are covered under
a profit-sharing plan, certain government plans, a salary reduction
arrangement (such as a tax sheltered annuity arrangement or a 401(k) plan), a
Simplified Employee Pension program

Page 1

<PAGE>

(SEP) or a plan which promises you a retirement benefit which is based upon
the number of years of service you have with the employer, you are likely to
be an active participant. Your Form W-2 for the year should indicate your
participation status.

You are an active participant for a year even if you are not yet vested in
your retirement benefit. Also, if you make required contributions or voluntary
employee contributions to a retirement plan, you are an active participant. In
certain plans, you may be an active participant even if you were only with the
employer for part of the year.

You are not considered an active participant if you are covered in a plan only
because of your service as 1) an Armed Forces Reservist for less than 90 days
of active service, or 2) a volunteer firefighter covered for firefighting
service by a government plan. Of course, if you are covered in any other plan,
these exceptions do not apply.

If you are married, filed a separate tax return, and did not live with your
spouse at any time during the year, your spouse's active participation will
not affect your ability to make deductible contributions.

B. Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)

If you are an active participant, you must look at your Adjusted Gross Income
for the year (if you and your spouse file a joint tax return, you use your
combined AGI) to determine whether you can make a deductible IRA contribution.
Your tax return will show you how to calculate your AGI for this purpose. If
you are at or below a certain AGI level, called the Threshold Level, you are
treated as if you were not an active participant and can make a deductible
contribution under the same rules as a person who is not an active
participant.

If you are single, your Threshold AGI Level is $25,000. The Threshold Level if
you are married and file a joint tax return is $40,000, and if you are married
but file a separate tax return, the Threshold Level is $0.

If your AGI is less than $10,000 above your Threshold Level, you will still be
able to make a deductible contribution, but it will be limited in amount. The
amount by which your AGI exceeds your Threshold Level (AGI - Threshold Level)
is called your Excess AGI. The Maximum Allowable Deduction is $2,000 (or
$2,250 for a Spousal IRA). You can estimate your Deduction Limit as follows:

(Your Deduction Limit may be slightly higher if you use this formula rather
than the table provided by the IRS.)

$10,000 - Excess AGI
--------------------- x Maximum Allowable Deduction = Deduction Limit
$10,000

You must round up the result to the next highest $10 level (the next highest
number which ends in zero). For example, if the result is $1,525, you must
round it up to $1,530. If the final result is below $200 but above zero, your
Deduction Limit is $200. Your Deduction Limit cannot, in any event, exceed
100% of your compensation.

<PAGE>

Example 1: Ms. Smith, a single person, is an active participant and has
an AGI of $31,619. She calculates her deductible IRA contribution as
follows:

Her AGI is $31,619
Her Excess AGI is (AGI - Threshold Level) or ($31,619-$25,000) = $6,619
Her Maximum Allowable Deduction is $2,000
So, her IRA deduction limit is:

$10,000 - $6,619
---------------- x $2,000 = $676 (rounded to $680)
$10,000

Example 2: Mr. and Mrs. Young file a joint tax return. Each spouse earns
more than $2,000 and one is an active participant. They have a
combined AGI of $44,255. They may each contribute to an IRA and
calculate their deductible contributions to each IRA as follows:

Their AGI is $44,255
Their Threshold Level is $40,000
Their Excess AGI is (AGI - Threshold Level) or ($44,255 -
$40,000) = $4,255 The Maximum Allowable Deduction for each
spouse is $2,000 So, each spouse may compute his or her IRA
deduction limit as follows:

$10,000 - 4,255
--------------- x $2,000 = $1,149 (rounded to $1,150)
$10,000

Example 3: If, in Example 2, Mr. Young did not earn any compensation, or
elected to be treated as earning no compensation, Mrs. Young could
establish a Spousal IRA (consisting of an account for herself and
one for her husband). The amount of deductible contributions which
could be made to the two IRAs is calculated using a Maximum
Allowable Deduction of $2,250 rather than $2,000.

$10,000 - $4,255
---------------- x $2,250 = $1,293 (rounded to $1,300)
$10,000

The $1,300 can be divided between the two accounts, but neither IRA
may receive a deductible contribution of more than $1,150.

Example 4: Mr. Jones, a married person, files a separate tax return and
is an active participant. He has $1,500 of compensation and wishes
to make a deductible contribution to an IRA.

His AGI is $1,500
His Threshold Level is $0
His Excess AGI is (AGI - Threshold Level) or $1,500-$0) = $1,500
His Maximum Allowable Deduction is $2,000 So, his IRA deduction
limit is:

$10,000 - $1,500
---------------- x $2,000 = $1,700
$10,000

Even though his IRA deduction limit under the formula is $1,700,
Mr. Jones may not deduct an amount in excess of his
compensation, so, his actual deduction is limited to $1,500.

Page 3

<PAGE>

SPOUSAL IRAs

As noted in Example 3 above, under the Act you may contribute to a Spousal IRA
even if your spouse has earned some compensation during the year. Provided
your spouse does not make a contribution to an IRA, you may set up a Spousal
IRA consisting of an annuity for your spouse as well as an annuity for
yourself. The maximum deductible amount to your IRA and a Spousal IRA is the
lesser of $2,250 or 100% of compensation.

NON-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO IRAs

Even if you are above the Threshold Level and thus may not make a deductible
contribution of $2,000 ($2,250 if a spousal IRA is involved), you may still
contribute up to the lesser of 100% of compensation or $2,000 to an IRA
($2,250 for a Spousal IRA). The amount of your contribution which is not
deductible will be a non-deductible contribution to the IRA. You may also
choose to make a contribution non-deductible even if you could have deducted
part or all of the contribution. Interest or other earnings on your IRA
contribution, whether from deductible or non-deductible contributions, will
not be taxed until taken out of your IRA and distributed to you.

If you make a non-deductible contribution to an IRA, you must report the
amount of the non-deductible contribution to the IRS on Form 8606 as a part of
your tax return for the year.

You may make a $2,000 contribution at any time during the year, if your
compensation for the year will be at least $2,000, without having to know how
much will be deductible. When you fill out your return, you may then figure
out how much is deductible.

You may withdraw an IRA contribution made for a year any time before April 15
of the following year. If you do so, you must also withdraw the earnings
attributable to that portion and report the earnings as income for the year
for which the contribution was made. If some portion of your contribution is
not deductible, you may decide either to withdraw the non-deductible amount,
or to leave it in the IRA and designate that portion as a non-deductible
contribution on your tax return.

IRA DISTRIBUTIONS

Generally, IRA distributions which are not rolled over (see "Rollover IRA
Rules", below) are included in your gross income in the year they are
received. Non-deductible IRA contributions, however, are made using income
which has already been taxed (that is, they are not deductible contributions).
Thus, the portion of the IRA distributions consisting of non-deductible
contributions will not be taxed again when received by you. If you make any
non-deductible IRA contributions, each distribution from your IRA(s) will
consist of a non-taxable portion (return of deductible contributions, if any,
and account earnings).

Thus, you may not take a distribution which is entirely tax-free. The
following formula is used to determine the non-taxable portion of your
distributions for a taxable year:

Remaining
Non-Deductible Contributions
- - ----------------------------x Total Distributions = Nontaxable Distributions
Year-End Total IRA Balances (for the year) (for the year)

Page 4

<PAGE>

To figure the year-end total IRA balance, you treat all of your IRAs as a
single IRA. This includes all regular IRAs (whether accounts or annuities), as
well as Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs, and Rollover IRAs. You also
add back the distributions taken during the year.

Example: An individual makes the following contributions to his or her IRA(s).

Year Deductible Non-Deductible

1986 $ 2,000
1987 1,800
1990 1,000 $ 1,000
1992 600 1,400
-------- --------
$ 5,400 $ 2,400

Deductible Contributions: $ 5,400
Non-Deductible Contributions: 2,400
Earnings on IRAs: 1,200
-------
Total Account Balance of IRA(s) as of 12/31/95: $9,000
(including distributions in 1995).

In 1995, the individual takes a distribution of $3,000. The total account
balance in the IRAs on 12/31/95 plus 1995 distributions is $9,000. The
non-taxable portion of the distributions for 1995 is figured as follows:

Total non-deductible contributions $2,400
------- x $3,000 = $800
Total account balance in the IRAs, plus distributions $9,000

Thus, $800 of the $3,000 distribution in 1995 will not be included in the
individual's taxable income. The remaining $2,200 will be taxable for 1995.

ROLLOVER IRA RULES
1. IRA to IRA

You may withdraw, tax-free, all or part of the assets from an IRA and reinvest
them in one or more IRAs. The reinvestment must be completed within 60 days of
the withdrawal. No IRA deduction is allowed for the reinvestment. Amounts
required to be distributed because the individual has reached age 70 1/2 may
not be rolled over.

2. Employer Plan Distributions to IRA

All taxable distributions (known as "eligible rollover distributions")
from qualified pension, profit-sharing, stock bonus and tax sheltered annuity
plans may be rolled over to an IRA, with the exception of (1) annuities paid
over a life or life expectancy, (2) installments for a period of ten years or
more, and (3) required minimum distributions under section 401(a)(9).

Rollovers may be accomplished in two ways. First, you may elect to have
an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an IRA (a"direct
rollover"). Second, you may receive the distribution directly and then, within
60 days of receipt, roll the amount over to an IRA. Under the Act, however,
any amount that you elect not to have distributed as a direct rollover will be
subject to 20 percent income tax withholding, and, if you are younger than age
59 1/2, may result in a 10% excise tax on any amount of the distribution that
is included in income. Questions regarding distribution options under the Act
should be directed to your Plan Trustee or Plan Administrator, or may be
answered by consulting IRS Temporary Regulations ss.1.401(a)(31)-1T,
ss.1.402(c)-2T and ss.31.3405(c)-1T.

PENALTIES FOR PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS

If you receive a distribution from your IRA before you reach age 59 1/2, an
additional tax of 10 percent will be imposed under Code ss.72(t), unless the
distribution (a) occurs because of your death or disability, (b) is received
as a part of a series of substantially equal payments over your life or life
expectancy, (c) is received as a part of a series of substantially equal
payments over the lives or life expectancy of you and your beneficiary, or (d)
the distribution is contributed to a rollover IRA.

MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS

Under the rules set forth in Code ss.408(b)(3) and ss.401(a)(9), you may not
leave the funds in your contract indefinitely. Certain minimum distributions
are required. These required distributions may be taken in one of two ways:
(a) by withdrawing the balance of your contract by a "required beginning
date," usually April 1 of the year following the date at which you reach age
70 1/2; or (b) by withdrawing periodic distributions of the balance in your
contract by the required beginning date. These periodic distributions may be
taken over (a) your life; (b) the lives of you and your named beneficiary; (c)
a period not extending beyond your life expectancy; or (d) a period not
extending beyond the joint life expectancy of you and your named beneficiary.

If you do not satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, then, pursuant to
Code ss.4974, you may have to pay a 50% excise tax on the amount not
distributed as required that year.

The foregoing minimum distribution rules are discussed in detail in IRS
Publication 590, "Individual Retirement Arrangements."

REPORTING

You are required to report penalty taxes due on excess contributions, excess
accumulations, premature distributions, and prohibited transactions.
Currently, IRS Form 5329 is used to report such information to the Internal
Revenue Service.

PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS

Neither you nor your beneficiary may engage in a prohibited transaction, as
that term is defined in Code ss.4975.

Borrowing any money from this IRA would, under Code ss.408(e)(3), cause the
contract to cease to be an Individual Retirement Annuity and would result in
the value of the annuity being included in the owner's gross income in the
taxable year in which such loan is made.

Use of this contract as security for a loan from the Company, if such loan
were otherwise permitted, would, under Code ss.408(e)(4), cause the portion so
used to be treated as a taxable distribution.

Page 6

<PAGE>

EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS

Tax Code ss.4973 imposes a 6 percent excise tax as a penalty for an excess
contribution to an IRA. An excess contribution is the excess of the deductible
and nondeductible amounts contributed by the Owner to an IRA for that year
over the lesser of his or her taxable compensation or $2,000. (Different
limits apply in the case of a spousal IRA arrangement.) If the excess
contribution is not withdrawn by the due date of your tax return (including
extensions) you will be subject to the penalty.

IRS APPROVAL

Your contract and IRA endorsement have been approved by the Internal Revenue
Service as a tax qualified Individual Retirement Annuity. Such approval by the
Internal Revenue Service is a determination only as to the form of the annuity
and does not represent a determination of the merits of such annuity.

This disclosure statement is intended to provide an overview of the applicable
tax laws relating to Individual Retirement Arrangements. It is not intended to
constitute a comprehensive explanation as to the tax consequences of your IRA.
As with all significant transactions such as the establishment or maintenance
of, or withdrawal from an IRA, appropriate tax and legal counsel should be
consulted. Further information may also be acquired by contacting your IRS
District Office or consulting IRS Publication 590.

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
(Generations Variable Annuity, Form Nos. 95020 and 95021)

This Financial Disclosure is applicable to IRAs using a Generations Variable
Annuity (contract form numbers 95020 or 95021) purchased from American General
Life Insurance Company on or after March 15, 1996.

Earnings under variable annuities are not guaranteed, and depend on the
performance of the investment option(s) selected. As such, earnings cannot be
projected. Set forth below are the charges associated with such annuities.

Charges:

(a) Annual contract maintenance charges of $30 deducted at the end of
each contract year (waived if cumulative contributions are $100,000
or more).

(b) A maximum charge of $25 for each transfer, in excess of 12 free
transfers annually, of contract value between divisions of the
Separate Account.

(c) To compensate for mortality and expense risks assumed under the
contract, variable divisions only will incur a daily charge at an
annualized rate of 1.25% of the average Separate Account Value of the
contract during both the Accumulation and the Payout Phase.

(d) Premium taxes, if applicable, may be charged against Accumulation
Value at time of annuitization, a full or partial surrender or upon
the death of the Annuitant. If a jurisdiction imposes premium taxes
at the time purchase payments are made, the Company may deduct a
charge at that time.

<PAGE>

(e) If the contract is surrendered, or if a withdrawal is made,
there may be a Surrender Charge. The Surrender Charge equals the sum of the
following:

6% of purchase payments for surrenders and withdrawals made
during the first contract year following receipt of the
purchase payments surrendered;

6% of purchase payments for surrenders and withdrawals made
during the second contract year following receipt of the
purchase payments surrendered;

5% of purchase payments for surrenders and withdrawals made
during the third contract year following receipt of the
purchase payments surrendered;

5% of purchase payments for surrenders and withdrawals made
during the fourth contract year following receipt of the
purchase payments surrendered;

4% of purchase payments for surrenders and withdrawals made
during the fifth contract year following receipt of the
purchase payments surrendered;

3% of purchase payments for surrenders and withdrawals made
during the sixth contract year following receipt of the
purchase payments surrendered;

2% of purchase payments for surrenders and withdrawals made
during the seventh contract year following receipt of the
purchase payments surrendered.

There will be no charge imposed for surrenders and withdrawals
made during the eighth and subsequent contract years following
receipt of the purchase payments surrendered.

Under certain circumstances described in the contract, portions
of a partial withdrawal may be exempt from the Surrender Charge.

(f) To compensate for administrative expenses, a daily charge will be
incurred at an annualized rate of .15% of the average Separate
Account Value of the contract during the Accumulation and the Payout
Phase.

(g) Each variable division will be charged a fee for asset management and
other expenses deducted directly from the underlying fund during the
Accumulation and Payout Phase. For funds managed by Van Kampen
American Capital Asset Management, Inc., total fees will range
between .60% and 1.20%.

GENERAL INFORMATION

AG Life (formerly American General Life Insurance Company of Delaware) is a
successor in interest to a company previously organized as a Delaware
corporation in 1917. Effective December 31, 1991, AG Life redomesticated as a
Texas insurer and changed its name to American General Life Insurance Company.
AG Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGC Life Insurance Company, a Missouri
corporation ("AG Missouri") engaged primarily in the life insurance business
and annuity business. AG Missouri, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
American General Corporation, a Texas holding corporation engaged primarily in
the insurance business.

REGULATION AND RESERVES

AG Life is subject to regulation and supervision by the insurance departments
of the states in which it is licensed to do business. This regulation covers a
variety of areas, including benefit reserve requirements, adequacy of
insurance company capital and surplus, various operational standards, and
accounting and financial reporting procedures. AG Life's operations and
accounts are subject to periodic examination by insurance regulatory
authorities.

Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing business
therein can be assessed up to prescribed limits for insurance contract losses,
if covered, incurred by insolvent companies. The amount of any future
assessments of AG Life under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated. Most
of these laws do provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or
deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own financial strength.

Although the federal government generally has not directly regulated the
business of insurance, federal initiatives often have an impact on the
business in a variety of ways. Federal measures that may adversely affect the
insurance business include employee benefit regulation, tax law changes
affecting the taxation of insurance companies or of insurance products,
changes in the relative desirability of various personal investment vehicles,
and removal of impediments on the entry of banking institutions into the
business of insurance. Also, both the executive and legislative branches of
the federal government have under consideration various insurance regulatory
matters, which could ultimately result in direct federal regulation of some
aspects of the insurance business. It is not possible to predict whether this
will occur or, if so, what the effect on AG Life would be.

Pursuant to state insurance laws and regulations, AG Life is obligated to
carry on its books, as liabilities, reserves to meet its obligations under
outstanding insurance contracts. These reserves are based on assumptions
about, among other things, future claims experience and investment returns.
Neither the reserve requirements nor the other aspects of state insurance
regulation provide absolute protection to holders of insurance contracts,
including the Contracts, if AG Life were to incur claims or expenses at rates
significantly higher than expected, for example, due to acquired immune
deficiency syndrome or other infectious diseases or catastrophes, or
significant unexpected losses on its investments.

<PAGE>

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The consolidated financial statements of AG Life and the financial statements
of Separate Account D included in this Statement of Additional Information
have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, as set forth in
their respective reports thereon appearing elsewhere herein. Such financial
statements have been included in this Statement of Additional Information in
reliance upon such reports of Ernst & Young LLP given upon the authority of
such firm as experts in accounting and auditing. Ernst & Young LLP is located
at One Houston Center, 1221 McKinney, Suite 2400, Houston, TX 77010-2007.

SERVICES

A Service Agreement exists between AG Life and Continuum Computer Systems,
Inc. ("Continuum") to provide certain services in connection with Separate
Account D. Continuum has developed a computerized data processing record
keeping system for annuity accounting and has the necessary data processing
equipment and personnel to provide and support remote terminal access to its
system for the maintenance of annuity records, processing information, and the
generation of output with respect to the records and information. AG Life has
contracted with Continuum for the right to use Continuum's system. For these
services AG Life paid Continuum $28,080 in 1995, $78,840 in 1994, and $62,691
in 1993.

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

American General Securities Incorporated ("AGSI") is the principal underwriter
with respect to the Contracts. AGSI also serves as principal underwriter to
American General Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account E and AG
Life's Separate Account A, both of which are unit investment trusts registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. AGSI, a Texas corporation, is a
wholly owned subsidiary of AG Life and a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.

As principal underwriter, with respect to Separate Account D, AGSI received
from AG Life less than $1,000 of compensation for each of the last three
fiscal years.

The securities offered pursuant to the Contracts are offered on a continuous
basis.

ANNUITY PAYMENTS

A. GENDER OF ANNUITANT

When annuity payments are based on life expectancy, the amount of each annuity
payment ordinarily will be higher if the Annuitant or other measuring life is
a male, as compared with a female under an otherwise identical Contract. This
is because, statistically, females tend to have longer life expectancies than
males.

However, there will be no differences between males and females in any
jurisdiction, including Montana, where such differences are not permitted. We
will also make available Contracts with no such differences in connection with
certain employer-sponsored benefit plans. Employers should be aware that,
under most such plans, Contracts that make distinctions based on gender are
prohibited by law.

<PAGE>

B. MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX AND OTHER ERRORS

If the age or sex of an Annuitant has been misstated to us, any amount payable
will be that which the purchase payments paid would have purchased at the
correct age and sex. If we made any overpayments because of incorrect
information about age or sex, or any error or miscalculation, we will deduct
the overpayment from the next payment or payments due. We will add any
underpayments to the next payment. The amount of any adjustment will be
credited or charged with interest at the assumed interest rate used in the
Contract's annuity tables.

CHANGE OF INVESTMENT ADVISER OR INVESTMENT POLICY

Unless otherwise required by law or regulation, neither the investment adviser
to any Fund nor any investment policy may be changed without the consent of AG
Life. If required, approval of or change of any investment objective will be
filed with the insurance department of each state where a Contract has been
delivered. The Owner (or, after annuity payments start, the payee) will be
notified of any material investment policy change that has been approved. You
will be notified of any investment policy change prior to its implementation
by Separate Account D if your comment or vote is required for such change.

TERMS OF EXEMPTIVE RELIEF IN CONNECTION WITH MORTALITY
AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

AG Life and AGSI have obtained exemptive relief from the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") in connection with deducting the mortality and
expense risk charge pursuant to the Contracts. In the application for the
exemption, AG Life and AGSI have represented and undertaken, among other
things, that:

o The level of the mortality and expense risk charge is
within the range of industry practice for comparable
annuity contracts;

o This conclusion is based upon a review that AG Life and AGSI have
conducted of publicly- available information regarding annuity
contracts of other companies which they will maintain at their
Home Office, and make available on request to the Commission or
its staff, a memorandum setting forth the variable annuity
products analyzed and the methodology and results of the
comparative review;

o There is a reasonable likelihood that the proposed distribution
financing arrangements with respect to the Contracts will benefit
Separate Account D and investors in the Contracts, and the basis
for this conclusion is set forth in a memorandum which will be
maintained by AG Life at its Home Office and will be available to
the Commission or its staff on request.

PERFORMANCE DATA FOR THE DIVISIONS

Average Annual Total Return Calculations

Each Division may advertise its average annual total return. Each
Division's average annual total return quotation is computed in accordance
with a standard method prescribed by the SEC. The average annual total return
for a Division for a specific period is found by first taking a hypothetical
$1,000 investment in the Division's Accumulation Units on the first day of the
period at the maximum offering price, which is the Accumulation Unit value per
unit ("initial investment"), and computing

<PAGE>

the ending redeemable value ("redeemable value") of that investment at the end
of the period. The redeemable value reflects the effect of the applicable
Surrender Charge that may be imposed at the end of the period as well as all
other recurring charges and fees applicable under the Contract to all Owner
accounts. Such other charges and fees include the Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge, and the Administrative Expense Charge. Any premium taxes are not
reflected. The redeemable value is then divided by the initial investment and
this quotient is taken to the Nth root (N represents the number of years in
the period) and 1 is subtracted from the result, which is then expressed as a
percentage.

Total Return Calculations (without Surrender Charge or Contract Fee)

Each Division may also advertise its non-standardized total return, which
is calculated in the same manner and for the same time periods as the
standardized average annual total returns described immediately above, except
that the redeemable value does not reflect the deduction of any applicable
Surrender Charge that may be imposed at the end of the period, since it is
assumed that the Contract will continue through the end of each period, or the
deduction of the Annual Contract Fee. If reflected, these charges would reduce
the performance results presented.

Cumulative Total Return Calculations

No standardized formula has been prescribed by the SEC for calculating
cumulative total return performance. Cumulative total return performance is
the compound rate of return on a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 in
each Division's Accumulation Units on the first day of the period at the
maximum offering price, which is the Accumulation Unit value per unit
("initial investment"). Cumulative total return figures (and the related
"Growth of a $1,000 Investment" figures set forth below) do not include the
effect of any premium taxes or any applicable Surrender Charge or the Annual
Contract Fee. Cumulative total return quotations reflect changes in
Accumulation Unit value and are calculated by finding the cumulative rates of
return of the hypothetical initial investment over various periods, according
to the following formula, and then expressing that as a percentage:

C = (ERV/P) - 1
Where:

C = cumulative total return
P = a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000
ERV = ending redeemable value is the value at the end of the
applicable period of a hypothetical $1,000 investment made
at the beginning of the applicable period.

Hypothetical Performance

The tables below provide hypothetical performance information for eight
of the available Divisions of Separate Account D based on the actual
historical performance of the corresponding Fund in which each of these
Divisions invests. This information reflects all actual charges and deductions
of these Funds and all Separate Account charges and deductions, with respect
to the Contracts, that hypothetically would have been made had the Separate
Account, with respect to the Contracts, been invested in these Funds for all
the periods indicated. No comparable hypothetical information is shown for the
remaining Division of Separate Account D, because the corresponding Fund in
which it invests had not commenced operating as of the date of this Statement
of Additional Information.

Hypothetical Historical Growth of a $1,000 Investment in the Divisions
(Through December 31, 1995)

The Money Market Division's hypothetical historical yield for the
seven-day period ended December 31, 1995 was %. The Money Market Division's
hypothetical historical effective yield for the seven day period ended
December 31, 1995 was %.

* The inception dates for each Fund funding the Divisions are: April 4, 1986
for the Money Market, Enterprise, and Government Divisions; 0, 1987 for
the Asset Allocation Division; November 4, 1987 for the Domestic Income
Division; July 3, 1995 for the Emerging Growth, Global Equity, and Real Estate
Securities Divisions.

Yield Calculations

The yields for the Domestic Income Division and the Government Division are
each computed in accordance with a standard method prescribed by the SEC. The
yield quotation is computed by dividing the net investment income per
Accumulation Unit earned during the specified one month or 30-day period by
the Accumulation Unit values on the last day of the period, according to the
following formula that assumes a semi-annual reinvestment of income:

a - b
YIELD = 2[(------- +1)6 - 1]
cd

a = net dividends and interest earned during the period by the Portfolio
attributable to the Division

b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements)

c = the average daily number of Accumulation Units outstanding during the
period

d = the Accumulation Unit value per unit on the last day of the period

The yield of each Division reflects the deduction of all recurring fees and
charges applicable to each Division, such as the Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge, and the Administrative Expense Charge but does not reflect the
deduction of Surrender Charges or premium taxes.

<PAGE>

Money Market Division Yield and Effective Yield Calculations

The Money Market Division's yield is computed in accordance with a
standard method prescribed by the SEC. Under that method, the current yield
quotation is based on a seven-day period and computed as follows: the net
change in the Accumulation Unit value during the period is divided by the
Accumulation Unit value at the beginning of the period to obtain the base
period return; the base period return is then multiplied by the fraction 365/7
to obtain the current yield figure, which is carried to the nearest
one-hundredth of one percent. Realized capital gains or losses and unrealized
appreciation or depreciation of the Division's Portfolio are not included in
the calculation.

The Money Market Division's effective yield is determined by taking the
base period return (computed as described above) and calculating the effect of
assumed compounding. The formula for the effective yield is: (base period
return +1)365/7-1.

Yield and effective yield do not reflect the deduction of Surrender Charges or
premium taxes that may be imposed upon the redemption of Accumulation Units.

Performance Comparisons

The performance of each or all of the available Divisions of Separate
Account D may be compared in advertisements and sales literature to the
performance of other variable annuity issuers in general or to the performance
of particular types of variable annuities investing in mutual funds, or series
of mutual funds, with investment objectives similar to each of the Divisions
of Separate Account D. Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper") and the
Variable Annuity Research and Data Service ("VARDSR") are independent services
which monitor and rank the performance of variable annuity issuers in each of
the major categories of investment objectives on an industry-wide basis.
Lipper's rankings include variable life issuers as well as variable annuity
issuers. VARDSR rankings compare only variable annuity issuers. The
performance analyses prepared by Lipper and VARDSR rank such issuers on the
basis of total return, assuming reinvestment of dividends and distributions,
but do not take sales charges, redemption fees or certain expense deductions
at the separate account level into consideration. In addition, VARDSR prepares
risk adjusted rankings, which consider the effects of market risk on total
return performance.

In addition, each Division's performance may be compared in
advertisements and sales literature to the following benchmarks: (1) the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, an unmanaged weighted index
of 500 leading domestic companies that represents approximately 80% of the
market capitalization of the United States equity market; (2) the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, an unmanaged unweighted average of thirty blue chip
industrial corporations listed on the New York Stock Exchange and generally
considered representative of the United States stock market; (3) the Consumer
Price Index, published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a statistical
measure of change, over time, in the prices of goods and services in major
expenditure groups and generally is considered to be a measure of inflation;
(4) the Lehman Brothers Government and Domestic Strategic Income Index, the
Salomon Brothers High Grade Domestic Strategic Income Index, and the Merrill
Lynch Government/Corporate Master Index, unmanaged indices that are generally
considered to represent the performance of intermediate and long term bonds
during various market cycles; and (5) the Morgan Stanley Capital International
Europe Australia Far East Index, an unmanaged index that is considered to be
generally representative of major non-United States stock markets.

As of , 1996, there were owners of Contracts of the class c
overed by this
------------------- ------
registration statement.

Item 28. Indemnification

C-14

<PAGE>

Article VII, section 1, of the Company's By-Laws provides, in part, that the
Company shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in
the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was
serving at the request of the Company, against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company and, in
the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the
conduct of such person was unlawful.

Article VII, section 1 (in part), section 2, and section 3, provide that the
Company shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action
by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that such person is or was acting in behalf of the Company,
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action if such person acted in good
faith, in a manner such person believed to be in the best interests of the
Company, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily
prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. No
indemnification shall be made under section 1: (a) in respect of any claim,
issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
action was brought shall determine upon application that, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for the expenses which such court shall determine; (b) of amounts
paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened or pending action with
or without court approval; or (c) of expense incurred in defending a
threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of without
court approval.

Article VII, section 3, provides that, with certain exceptions, any
indemnification under Article VII shall be made by the Company only if
authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of
the person is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in section 1 of Article VII by (a) a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such
proceeding; (b) approval of the shareholders, with the shares owned by the
person to be indemnified not being entitled to vote thereon; or (c) the court
in which such proceeding is or was pending upon application made by the
Company or the indemnified person or the attorney or other persons rendering
services in connection with the defense, whether or not such application by
the attorney or indemnified person is opposed by the Company.

Article VII, section 7, provides that for purposes of Article VII, those
persons subject to indemnification include any person who is or was a
director, officer, or employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, or employee of another foreign
or domestic corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the Company or
of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under 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 the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid 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

C-15

<PAGE>

will, unless in the opinion of its 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.

Item 29. Principal Underwriters

(a) Registrant's principal underwriter, American General Securities
Incorporated, also acts as principal underwriter for American
General Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account E
and American General Life Insurance Company Separate Account A.
