                              THE ANNUITY CONTRACT
===============================================================================

ABOUT THE CONTRACT      This Contract is an agreement
                        between SAFECO Life and you, the Owner,
                        where we promise to pay the payee (you or
                        someone you choose) an income in the form of
                        annuity payments, beginning on the date you
                        select, or a death benefit to your
                        Beneficiary(ies). When you are investing
                        money, your Contract is in the Accumulation
                        Phase. Once you begin receiving annuity
                        payments, your Contract is in the Income
                        Phase.

                        You purchased this Contract with the initial
                        Purchase Payment you paid, and the Contract
                        became effective on the contract date, shown
                        on your contract data page.

                        The Contract is called a variable annuity
                        because you can allocate money among
                        variable investment Portfolios available
                        within the Separate Account. The investment
                        performance of the Portfolio(s) you select
                        may be positive or negative and affects the
                        value of your Contract and the amount of any
                        variable annuity payments. You may also
                        allocate money to the Fixed Account Options
                        which credit guaranteed interest rates.

OWNER                   The Owner is shown on the contract
                        application, unless changed. On the contract
                        date, the Owner must not have been older
                        than the maximum issue age shown on the
                        contract data page. The Owner may exercise
                        all ownership rights under this Contract.

                        If this Contract is owned by joint Owners,
                        they must jointly exercise their ownership
                        rights, unless we are directed otherwise by
                        both joint Owners in writing. On the
                        contract date, each joint Owner must not
                        have been older than the maximum issue age
                        shown on the contract data page.

ANNUITANT               The Annuitant is/are the person(s) on whose
                        life/lives annuity payments are based. You
                        are the Annuitant unless you designate
                        someone else before the Annuity Date. If you
                        designate someone else as Annuitant, that
                        person must not be older than the maximum
                        annuitization age shown on the contract data
                        page when annuity payments begin.

                        Owners who are non-natural persons (for
                        example, corporations or trusts) may not
                        change the Annuitant.

BENEFICIARY             The Beneficiary receives any benefit payable
                        after you die or, if applicable, after the
                        Annuitant(s) dies. You initially name your
                        Beneficiaries on the contract application.

  CHANGE OF             You may change your Beneficiary designation
  BENEFICIARY           at any time by sending us a signed and dated
                        request.  However, if a Beneficiary
                        designation is irrevocable, that Beneficiary
                        must consent in writing to any change. A new
                        Beneficiary designation revokes any prior
                        designation and is not effective until we
                        record the change.  We are not responsible
                        for the validity of any Beneficiary
                        designation nor for any actions we may take
                        prior to receiving and recording a
                        Beneficiary change.

================================================================================
                           PURCHASE PAYMENT PROVISIONS
================================================================================

PURCHASE PAYMENTS       During the Accumulation Phase, you
                        may make additional Purchase Payments. You
                        may change the amount and frequency of
                        Purchase Payments. The minimum dollar amounts
                        are shown on the contract data page. If you
                        stop making Purchase Payments, all benefits
                        under this Contract continue until the
                        contract value is completely withdrawn.

                        Purchase Payments must be in lawful currency
                        of the United States and submitted to our
                        Home Office at 5069 154th Place NE, Redmond,
                        WA 98052-9669, or P.O. Box 34690, Seattle, WA
                        98124-1690, or in a manner agreed to by
                        SAFECO Life.

                        We reserve the right to refuse any Purchase
                        Payment. If we do not accept a Purchase
                        Payment, we will return it within five days.

ALLOCATION OF           Your initial and subsequent Purchase Payments
PURCHASE PAYMENTS       will be allocated according to your
                        instructions on your contract application.
                        You may change the way subsequent Purchase
                        Payments are allocated by providing us with
                        new instructions.

                        Once we receive your Purchase Payment, the
                        portion to be allocated to a Fixed Account
                        Option is credited as of the day it is
                        received. The portion to be allocated to the
                        Portfolios is effective and valued as of the
                        next close of the New York Stock Exchange
                        (NYSE). If for any reason the NYSE is closed
                        when we receive your Purchase Payment, it
                        will be valued as of the close of the NYSE on
                        its next regular business day.

                        When we are required to guarantee a return of
                        Purchase Payments during the Right to Examine
                        period, we reserve the right to initially
                        apply amounts designated for the Portfolios
                        to the SAFECO RST Money Market Portfolio
                        until the Contract is 15 days old. These
                        amounts will then be allocated in the manner
                        you selected, unless you have canceled the
                        Contract.

ACCUMULATION UNITS      When you make Purchase Payments or transfers
                        into a Portfolio, we credit your Contract
                        with Accumulation Units.  Conversely, when
                        you request a withdrawal or a transfer of
                        money from a Portfolio, Accumulation Units
                        are liquidated. In either case, the increase
                        or decrease in the number of your
                        Accumulation Units is determined by taking
                        the dollar amount of the Purchase Payment,
                        transfer, or withdrawal and dividing it by
                        the value of an Accumulation Unit on the date
                        the transaction occurs.

                        We calculate the value of an Accumulation
                        Unit for each Portfolio after the NYSE closes
                        each day by:
                        (1)    determining the total value of the
                               particular Portfolio attributable to
                               the applicable Contracts;
                        (2)    subtracting from that amount the
                               mortality and expense risk charge, the
                               asset related administration charge,
                               and any taxes SAFECO Life may incur on
                               earnings attributable to the
                               applicable Contracts; and
                        (3)    dividing this amount by the number of
                               outstanding Accumulation Units of the
                               particular Portfolio attributable to
                               the applicable Contracts.

                        The value of an Accumulation Unit may go up
                        or down from day to day.

                          INVESTMENT OPTIONS
===============================================================================

VARIABLE INVESTMENT     You may allocate money to
OPTIONS                 the Portfolios shown on the contract data
                        page. We reserve the right to add, combine,
                        restrict, or remove any Portfolio as an
                        investment option of this Contract.
                        Portfolios have different investment
                        objectives. Investment performance of a
                        Portfolio may be positive or negative.

     SUBSTITUTION OF    If any shares of the Portfolios are
     SHARES             no longer available, or if in our view no
                        longer meet the purpose of the Contract, it
                        may be necessary to substitute shares of
                        another Portfolio. We will seek prior
                        approval of the Securities and Exchange
                        Commission (SEC) and give you notice before
                        doing this.

FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS   You may allocate money to the
                        Fixed Account Options shown on the contract
                        data page and described below. These options
                        are part of SAFECO Life's General Account and
                        provide for guaranteed interest rates.

                        We credit interest daily from the date the
                        money is allocated to the specific Fixed
                        Account Option up to, but not including, the
                        date the money is withdrawn or transferred.
                        We credit interest at a rate that compounds
                        over one year to the annual effective
                        interest rate we guaranteed when the money
                        was allocated. The annual effective interest
                        rate will be at least 3.00%.

     DOLLAR COST        If you allocate all or part of a Purchase
     AVERAGING (DCA)    Payment to the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed
     FIXED ACCOUNT      Account Option, we will credit interest at
     OPTION             a specified rate on amounts prior to their
                        being transferred to Portfolios you select.
                        Monthly transfers are made over a 6-month or
                        12-month period as selected by you. You may
                        not make another Purchase Payment to this
                        option until the entire value in this option
                        has been transferred out, and you may not
                        transfer money into this option. You may not
                        choose this option within 12 months of the
                        Annuity Date.

     GUARANTEED         If you allocate money to the Guaranteed
     INTEREST           Interest Period Fixed Account Option, we will
     PERIOD FIXED       credit interest at a specified rate for a
     ACCOUNT OPTION     Guaranteed Period. You may select different
                        Guaranteed Periods for each amount you
                        allocate to this option, and each allocation
                        starts a new Guaranteed Period. Each
                        Guaranteed Period we offer may have a
                        different interest rate. We may change the
                        rates we offer for new Guaranteed Periods at
                        any time. In the future we may offer
                        Guaranteed Periods of different lengths or
                        stop offering some Guaranteed Periods.

                        Money allocated to a Guaranteed Period under
                        this option matures the day after the
                        Guaranteed Period ends. Within 30 days after
                        the end of the Guaranteed Period, you may:

                        -    take no action and we will automatically
                             apply your value to a new Guaranteed
                             Period of the same or next shorter
                             duration. The next shorter duration will
                             be used if the prior Guaranteed Period
                             is not currently available. The new
                             Guaranteed Period earns interest at the
                             then current interest rate for that
                             Guaranteed Period and begins the day
                             after the prior Guaranteed Period ended;

                             or

                        -    notify us to allocate all or a portion
                             of your value to one or more of the
                             Portfolios on the day we receive the
                             notification; or

                        -    withdraw all or a portion of your value.

                        If you select one of the last two
                        alternatives, we will credit interest at the
                        rate we are currently offering for Guaranteed
                        Periods of the same or next shorter duration
                        from the day after the Guaranteed Period
                        ended until the day we receive your
                        instructions.

                        If you move money out before the end of a
                        Guaranteed Period, either as a transfer,
                        withdrawal, or to purchase annuity payments,
                        there will be a Market Value Adjustment
                        (MVA). The formula used to calculate the MVA
                        is shown on the contract data page. The MVA
                        is based primarily on the difference between
                        the interest rate being credited to the money
                        you move and the current interest rate
                        offered for a Guaranteed Period of the same
                        duration. In general, if interest rates have
                        dropped, the MVA will be positive and if
                        interest rates have risen, it will be
                        negative. Unless you tell us otherwise, the
                        MVA will be applied to your remaining
                        contract value. If amounts are taken from
                        more than one Guaranteed Period at the same
                        time, the MVA is calculated individually for
                        each Guaranteed Period. We will not apply an
                        MVA if you move money within 30 days after
                        the end of a Guaranteed Period.

CONTRACT VALUE          Your contract value is the sum of the values
                        in the Portfolios and the Fixed Account
                        Options attributable to your Contract.  We
                        calculate this by:
                        -    adding all the Purchase Payments you invested;
                        -    subtracting the charges which have been deducted;
                        -    subtracting the withdrawals you have made
                             (adjusted for any MVA);
                        -    adjusting for any MVA on amounts that were
                             transferred to the Portfolios;
                        -    adjusting for each Portfolio's gain or loss;
                        -    adding the interest we credit to each Fixed
                             Account Option while any of your contract value
                             is in that option;
                        -    subtracting the amounts withdrawn for an annuity
                             option; and
                        -    subtracting the amounts withdrawn to pay the
                             death benefit.

TRANSFERS               During the Accumulation Phase, you can
                        transfer money from any of the Portfolios
                        and/or any Guaranteed Periods under the
                        Guaranteed Interest Period Fixed Account
                        Option to any of the Portfolios and/or any
                        new Guaranteed Periods. In each Contract Year
                        you can make 12 transfers free of charge.
                        Each additional transfer in a Contract Year
                        may have a transfer charge, as shown on the
                        contract data page.

                        The minimum amount you can transfer out of
                        any Portfolio or Guaranteed Period under the
                        Guaranteed Interest Period Fixed Account
                        Option at one time is $500, or the entire
                        value if less. You must transfer the entire
                        amount out of a Portfolio or Guaranteed
                        Period under the Guaranteed Interest Period
                        Fixed Account Option if, after a transfer,
                        the remaining balance would be less than
                        $500. The minimum amount you can transfer
                        into an investment option is:

                        -   $50 for transfers into any Portfolio; and
                        -   $1,000 for transfers into any new Guaranteed Period
                            under the Guaranteed Interest Period Fixed Account
                            Option.

                        We reserve the right to reject any transfer
                        request from any person if, in our judgment,
                        a Portfolio would be unable to invest
                        effectively in accordance with its investment
                        objectives and policies or would otherwise be
                        potentially adversely affected. We reserve
                        the right to modify, suspend, or terminate
                        transfer privileges at any time.

                             CHARGES
===============================================================================

The following charges apply to your Contract:

INSURANCE CHARGES       Each day we make deductions for our
                        insurance charges. We do this as part of our
                        calculation of the value of Accumulation
                        Units and Annuity Units. The insurance
                        charge has two parts: (1) the mortality and
                        expense risk charge and (2) the asset
                        related administration charge.

     MORTALITY AND      This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to a
     EXPENSE RISK       percentage of the average daily value of
     CHARGE             your Contract allocated to the Portfolios. The
                        percentage is shown on the contract data page.

     ASSET RELATED      This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to a
     ADMINISTRATION     percentage of the average daily value of
     CHARGE             your Contract allocated to the Portfolios. The
                        percentage is shown on the contract data page.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE       The withdrawal charge, shown on the
                        contract data page, is deducted from your
                        Contract for each withdrawal after the first
                        withdrawal in a Contract Year.

                        We will not deduct this charge for annuity
                        payments, repetitive withdrawals, or if you
                        withdraw the entire contract value.

TRANSFER CHARGE         The transfer charge, shown on the
                        contract data page, is deducted from your
                        Contract for each transfer after the 12th
                        transfer in a Contract Year.

                        Scheduled transfers authorized by us as part
                        of an investment strategy such as dollar
                        cost averaging, appreciation sweep, or
                        portfolio rebalancing do not count against
                        your 12 free transfers, provided the
                        scheduled transfers continue for at least 6
                        months.

PREMIUM TAXES           The contract data page shows whether or not
                        premium tax is charged in your state as of
                        the contract date.

INCOME OR OTHER TAXES   Currently we do not pay income or other taxes
                        on earnings attributable to your Contract.
                        However, if we ever incur such taxes, we
                        reserve the right to deduct them from your Contract.

                              WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
===============================================================================

WITHDRAWALS             During the Accumulation Phase, you may withdraw part or
                        all of your contract value. Each withdrawal must be at
                        least $250, or the contract value if less.  You must
                        withdraw the entire amount out of a Portfolio or
                        Guaranteed Period under the Guaranteed Interest Period
                        Fixed Account Option if, after a withdrawal, the
                        remaining balance in the Portfolio or Guaranteed Period
                        would be less than $500.  Withdrawals are not allowed
                        from the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option
                        except upon surrender of the Contract.

                        To take withdrawals, you must send a written
                        request to our Home Office. If you take a
                        partial withdrawal, you must tell us from
                        which Portfolio(s) and/or Guaranteed Periods
                        under the Guaranteed Interest Period Fixed
                        Account Option we are to take the withdrawal
                        and we will not process the withdrawal until
                        we receive those instructions. Once we
                        receive your valid instructions, withdrawals
                        from the Portfolios will be effective as of
                        the next close of the NYSE.

                        There may be a withdrawal charge. If you
                        move money out before the end of a
                        Guaranteed Period under the Guaranteed
                        Interest Period Fixed Account Option, an MVA
                        will apply.

     REPETITIVE         You may request repetitive withdrawals of a
     WITHDRAWALS        predetermined amount on a monthly, quarterly, or
                        annual basis by completing the appropriate form.

                         ANNUITY PAYMENT PROVISIONS
===============================================================================

ANNUITY PAYMENTS        You must choose a lump sum or start
                        the Income Phase no later than the maximum
                        annuitization age shown on the contract data
                        page, or an earlier date if required by law.
                        During the Income Phase, the payee (you or
                        someone you choose) receives regular annuity
                        payments beginning on the Annuity Date.

                        To start the Income Phase, you must notify
                        us in writing at least 30 days prior to the
                        date that you want annuity payments to
                        begin. You may choose annuity payments under
                        an annuity option described in this Contract
                        or another annuity option that you want and
                        that we agree to provide. If the amount
                        applied to an annuity option is less than
                        $5,000, we may pay you in a lump sum where
                        permitted by state law. We reserve the right
                        to change the payment frequency if payment
                        amounts would be less than $250.

                        Switching to the Income Phase is
                        irrevocable. Once you begin receiving
                        annuity payments, you cannot switch back to
                        the Accumulation Phase. You cannot add
                        Purchase Payments, change or add an
                        Annuitant, change the annuity option, or
                        change between fixed and variable annuity
                        payments.

     LIFE ANNUITY       The payee receives monthly annuity
                        payments as long as the Annuitant is living.
                        Annuity payments stop when the Annuitant
                        dies.

     LIFE ANNUITY       The payee receives monthly annuity payments
     WITH GUARANTEED    for the longer of the Annuitant's life or a
     PERIOD             guaranteed period of five or more years as
                        selected by you and agreed to by us. If the
                        Annuitant dies before all guaranteed
                        payments have been made, the rest will be
                        made to the Beneficiary. Annuity payments
                        stop the later of the date the Annuitant
                        dies or the date the last guaranteed payment
                        is made.

                        As an alternative to monthly payments, the
                        Beneficiary may elect to have the present
                        value of the guaranteed variable annuity
                        payments remaining as of the date the notice
                        of death is received by us commuted at the
                        assumed investment return of 4% and paid in
                        a single payment.

     JOINT AND          The payee receives monthly annuity payments as long
     SURVIVOR LIFE      as the Annuitant is living. After the Annuitant dies,
     ANNUITY            the payee receives a specified percentage of each
                        annuity payment as long as the second Annuitant is
                        living. You name the second Annuitant and payment
                        percentage at the time you elect this option. Annuity
                        payments stop on the later of the date the Annuitant
                        dies or the date the second Annuitant dies.

     PAYMENTS BASED     The payee receives annuity payments based on a
     ON A NUMBER        number of years as selected by you and agreed
     OF YEARS           to by us. You may select monthly, quarterly,
                        or annual annuity payments.  Each
                        annuity payment reduces the number of
                        Accumulation Units and/or value of the
                        Guaranteed Interest Period Fixed Account
                        Option in the Contract. Each annuity payment
                        made from the Guaranteed Interest Period
                        Fixed Account Option may be subject to an
                        MVA. Annuity payments continue until the
                        entire value in the Portfolios and/or
                        Guaranteed Interest Period Fixed Account
                        Option has been paid out. You can stop these
                        annuity payments and receive a lump sum
                        equal to the remaining contract value plus
                        or minus any MVA if applicable. This option
                        does not promise to make payments for the
                        Annuitant's life. If the Owner dies before
                        all annuity payments have been made, there
                        will be a death benefit payable in
                        accordance with the "DEATH OF OWNER On or
                        After the Annuity Date" provision.

     AUTOMATIC          If you do not choose an annuity option at least
     OPTION             30 days before the latest Annuity Date allowed
                        under this Contract, we will make annuity
                        payments under the Payments Based on a
                        Number of Years annuity option. The number
                        of years will be equal to the Annuitant's
                        life expectancy.

CALCULATION OF          You can choose whether annuity payments will
ANNUITY PAYMENTS        be made on a fixed basis, variable basis,
                        or both. If you don't tell us otherwise,
                        annuity payments will be based on the
                        investment allocations in place on the
                        Annuity Date. After the Annuity Date, you
                        may not switch between fixed annuity payments
                        and variable annuity payments.

                        The calculation for annuity payments under
                        the Payments Based on a Number of Years
                        annuity option is described above in
                        "Annuity Payments - Payments Based on a
                        Number of Years". The following calculations

                        apply to all other annuity options.

     FIXED ANNUITY      The dollar amount of each fixed annuity payment
     PAYMENTS           will stay the same. This amount will be calculated
                        by applying the contract value that you want to use to
                        purchase fixed annuity payments, adjusted for any MVA,
                        to the Fixed Annuity Purchase Rate Table of this
                        Contract, or the current rates at that time if more
                        favorable to you. If premium taxes are required
                        by state law, these taxes will be deducted before the
                        annuity payments are calculated.

     VARIABLE           The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment
     ANNUITY            will vary depending on the investment performance of
     PAYMENTS           the Portfolios that you selected.

                        FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT: The dollar
                        amount of the first variable annuity payment
                        is the sum of the payments from each
                        Portfolio determined by applying the
                        contract value used to purchase variable
                        annuity payments, as of the 15th day of the
                        preceding month, to the Variable Annuity
                        Purchase Rate Table of this Contract. If the
                        NYSE is not open on that date, the
                        calculation will be made on the next day
                        that the NYSE is open. If premium taxes are
                        required by state law, these taxes will be
                        deducted before the annuity payment is
                        calculated.

                        SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS: The
                        dollar amount of each subsequent variable
                        annuity payment is the sum of the payments
                        from each Portfolio, which are determined by
                        multiplying the number of Annuity Units
                        credited for that Portfolio by the Annuity
                        Unit value of that Portfolio as of the 15th
                        of the month preceding the annuity payment.
                        If the NYSE is not open on that date, the
                        calculation will be made on the next day
                        that the NYSE is open.

                            NUMBER OF VARIABLE ANNUITY UNITS: The
                            number of Annuity Units credited for
                            each Portfolio is the amount of the
                            first annuity payment attributable to
                            that Portfolio divided by the value of
                            the applicable Annuity Unit for that
                            Portfolio as of the 15th day of the
                            month preceding the Annuity Date. The
                            number of Annuity Units used to
                            calculate the variable annuity payment
                            each month remains constant unless you
                            change Portfolio elections.

                            VALUE OF VARIABLE ANNUITY UNITS: The
                            value of an Annuity Unit will usually
                            increase or decrease from one month to
                            the next. For each month after the first
                            month, the value of an Annuity Unit of a
                            particular Portfolio is:
                            -   the value of that Annuity Unit as of
                                the 15th day of the preceding month (or
                                the next day that the NYSE is open);
                            -   multiplied by the Net Investment Factor(s)
                                for that Portfolio; and
                            -   divided by the Assumed Investment Factor
                                for the period.

                            The Net Investment Factor is a number
                            that represents the change in the
                            Accumulation Unit value of a Portfolio
                            on successive days when the NYSE is
                            open. The Net Investment Factor for any
                            Portfolio for any valuation day is
                            determined by dividing the current
                            Accumulation Unit value by the prior
                            day's Accumulation Unit value. The Net

                            Factor will likely be different than the
                            Assumed Investment Factor, and therefore the
                            Annuity Unit value will usually increase or
                            decrease.

                            The Assumed Investment Factor for a
                            one-day valuation period is 1.00010746.
                            This factor neutralizes the assumed
                            investment return of 4% in the Variable
                            Annuity Purchase Rate Table.

                        We guarantee that the dollar amount of each
                        variable annuity payment made after the
                        first payment will not be adversely affected
                        by variations in actual mortality experience
                        or actual expenses incurred in excess of the
                        expense deductions provided for in the
                        Contract.

     CHANGING           After the Annuity Date, you may request to
     PORTFOLIO          change Portfolio elections once a month.
     ELECTIONS          Transfers are not allowed to or from the Fixed
     AFTER THE          Account Options.  Changes will affect the
     ANNUITY DATE       number of units used to calculate annuity payments.

                            DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS
===============================================================================

DEATH OF ANNUITANT      If the Annuitant is not an Owner and the Annuitant
PRIOR TO THE            dies before the Annuity Date, you must designate a new
ANNUITY DATE            Annuitant. If no designation is made within 30 days
                        after we are notified of the Annuitant's death, you
                        will become the Annuitant.

                        If this Contract is owned by a non-natural person
                        (for example, a corporation or trust), the death of
                        the Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner.

DEATH OF OWNER          If any Owner dies before the Annuity Date, we will pay
PRIOR TO THE            a death benefit to the:
ANNUITY DATE            -   surviving Owner or joint Owner; or if none, then
                        -   surviving primary Beneficiary(ies); or if none,
                            then
                        -   surviving contingent Beneficiary(ies); or if none,
                            then
                        -   the estate of the last Owner to die.

     CALCULATION OF     The death benefit is the higher of:
     DEATH BENEFIT      (1) the current contract value; or
                        (2) if the death benefit is payable upon the sole
                            Owner's or oldest joint Owner's death, the
                            minimum guaranteed death benefit.

                        When determining the higher of (1) or (2) above,
                        the calculations are based on the earlier of:
                        -   the date we receive proof of death and the
                            Beneficiary's election of how to receive payment;
                            or
                        -   six months from the date of death.
                        For the purpose of comparing these amounts to
                        determine which is higher, we will not adjust the
                        current contract value for any applicable MVA. However,
                        if we determine that the current contract value is the
                        higher amount and if the death benefit is withdrawn
                        within 60 days after we receive proof of death, we
                        will increase the death benefit for a positive MVA but
                        we will not decrease it for a negative MVA. If the
                        death benefit is

                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>

                        withdrawn more than 60 days after we receive proof of
                        death, any MVA, whether positive or negative, will
                        apply.

                             REQUIRED INFORMATION RECEIVED WITHIN 6
                             MONTHS OF THE DATE OF DEATH: If the
                             minimum guaranteed death benefit
                             exceeds the contract value, we will add
                             the difference to the contract value on
                             the date we receive the required
                             information so that the contract value
                             will equal the minimum guaranteed death
                             benefit. This additional amount will be
                             allocated to the investment options in
                             accordance with instructions we receive
                             from the Beneficiary. Thereafter, the
                             contract value will be subject to
                             investment performance and applicable
                             charges until the date the death
                             benefit is paid.

                             REQUIRED INFORMATION RECEIVED MORE THAN
                             6 MONTHS AFTER THE DATE OF DEATH: If
                             the minimum guaranteed death benefit
                             exceeds the contract value on the
                             6-month anniversary of the date of
                             death, we will credit the difference
                             with interest at the prevailing money
                             market rates from the 6-month
                             anniversary until the date we receive
                             the required information. At that time
                             we will allocate this additional
                             amount, with the credited interest, to
                             the investment options in accordance
                             with instructions we receive from the
                             Beneficiary. Thereafter, the contract
                             value will be subject to investment
                             performance and applicable contract
                             charges until the date payment is made.

                        The initial minimum guaranteed death benefit
                        is equal to the first Purchase Payment. It
                        is reset on each 5-year contract anniversary
                        until the oldest Owner attains age 75. The
                        reset benefit is equal to the immediately
                        preceding minimum guaranteed death benefit
                        or the contract value on that date, if
                        higher.

                        The minimum guaranteed death benefit is
                        immediately increased by additional Purchase
                        Payments and adjusted for withdrawals and
                        annuity payments made under the Payments
                        Based on a Number of Years annuity option.
                        After such withdrawal or annuity payment,
                        the minimum guaranteed death benefit will be
                        recalculated by multiplying the prior
                        minimum guaranteed death benefit by the
                        ratio of the contract value after the
                        withdrawal or annuity payment to the
                        contract value before the withdrawal or
                        annuity payment.

     PAYMENT OF         To pay the death benefit, we need proof of death,
     DEATH BENEFIT      such as a certified copy of a death certificate,
                        plus written direction from the Beneficiary regarding
                        how he or she wants to receive the money. If the
                        death benefit is payable to an Owner's
                        estate, we will pay it in a single payment.

                        The Beneficiary may elect to receive the death
                        benefit as:
                        -    a lump sum payment or series of withdrawals that
                             are completed within five years from the date of
                             death; or
                        -    annuity payments made over the Beneficiary's life
                             or life expectancy. To receive annuity payments,
                             the Beneficiary must make this election within
                             60 days from our receipt of proof of death.
                             Annuity payments must begin within one year from
                             the date of death. Once annuity

                             payments begin, they cannot be changed.

                        If the Beneficiary is the Owner's spouse,
                        the spouse may have the option to continue
                        the Contract and will then be the Owner of
                        the Contract. If this spouse is also the
                        oldest joint Owner, the minimum guaranteed
                        death benefit will apply on the death of
                        this spouse. Otherwise, the benefit on the
                        death of your spouse will be the contract
                        value.

                        If a Beneficiary entitled to receive a death
                        benefit dies before the death benefit is
                        distributed to the Beneficiary, we will pay
                        the death benefit to the Beneficiary's named
                        Beneficiary or, if none, to the
                        Beneficiary's estate.

DEATH OF ANNUITANT      If the Annuitant is not the Owner and dies after the
ON OR AFTER             Annuity Date, then we will continue paying any
THE ANNUITY DATE        remaining annuity payments to the Owner.

DEATH OF OWNER          If the Owner dies after the Annuity Date, then any
ON OR AFTER             amounts paid after the death of the Owner will depend
THE ANNUITY DATE        on which annuity option was selected. If the Owner dies
                        while annuity payments are being paid under the
                        Payments Based on a Number of Years annuity option,
                        we will pay a death benefit calculated in the same
                        manner as a death benefit determined during the
                        Accumulation Phase. If the Owner dies while annuity
                        payments are being paid under another option, we will
                        pay any remaining annuity payments in accordance
                        with that option. We will pay remaining annuity
                        payments at least as rapidly as under the annuity
                        option then in effect. The right to receive the death
                        benefit or change the payee for remaining annuity
                        payments is determined as follows:
                        -   the surviving Owner or joint Owner; or if none,
                            then
                        -   the surviving primary Beneficiary(ies); or if none,
                            then
                        -   the surviving contingent Beneficiary(ies); or if
                            none, then
                        -   the estate of the last Owner to die.

ESSENTIAL DATA                      You and each person entitled to receive
                                    benefits under this Contract must provide us
                                    with any information we need to administer
                                    this Contract. We are entitled to rely
                                    exclusively on the completeness and accuracy
                                    of data furnished by you and we will not be
                                    liable with respect to any omission or
                                    inaccuracy.

EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL                When any payments under this Contract
                                    depend upon any person being alive on a
                                    given date, we may require satisfactory
                                    proof that the person is living before
                                    making such payments.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX          We may require satisfactory proof of
                                    correct age or sex at any time.  If
                                    annuity payments are based on life or life
                                    expectancy and the age or sex of any
                                    Annuitant has been misstated, annuity
                                    payments will be based on the corrected
                                    information. Underpayments will be made up
                                    in a lump sum with the next scheduled
                                    payment. Overpayments will be deducted
                                    from future payments until the total
                                    is repaid.

NONPARTICIPATION                    This Contract is nonparticipating, which
                                    means it will not share in any distribution
                                    of profits, losses, or surplus of SAFECO
                                    Life.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT                    The Separate Account holds the assets that
                                    underlie the contract values invested in the
                                    Portfolios.  The assets in the Separate
                                    Account are the property of SAFECO Life.
                                    However, assets in the Separate Account
                                    that are attributable to Contracts are not
                                    chargeable with liabilities arising out of
                                    any other business we may conduct.  Income,
                                    gains and losses (realized and unrealized),
                                    resulting from assets in the Separate
                                    Account are credited to or charged against
                                    the Separate Account without regard to other
                                    income, gains or losses of SAFECO Life.

STATE REQUIRED BENEFITS             The benefits of this Contract will not be
                                    less than the minimum benefits required by
                                    any statute of any state in which this
                                    Contract is delivered.

SUSPENSION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS,     We may be required to suspend or postpone
WITHDRAWALS, OR TRANSFERS           payment of annuity payments, withdrawals,
                                    or transfers from the Portfolios for any
                                    period of time when:
                                    -    the NYSE is closed (other than
                                         customary weekend or holiday
                                         closings);
                                    -    trading on the NYSE is restricted;
                                    -    an emergency exists such that
                                         disposal of or determination of the
                                         value of the Portfolio shares is
                                         not reasonably practicable; or
                                    -    the SEC, by order, so permits for
                                         your protection.

                                    In addition, we retain the right to defer
                                    payment of withdrawals or transfers from the
                                    Fixed Account Options for a period of 6
                                    months after receiving the request. The
                                    interest rate credited to the Fixed Account
                                    Options during this period will not be less
                                    than the rate required under state law.

TERMINATION OF CONTRACT             This Contract will terminate when SAFECO
                                    Life has completed all of its duties and
                                    obligations under the Contract.

THE CONTRACT                        The Contract, contract data page, and
                                    contract application, as may be amended,
                                    and any endorsements are the entire
                                    Contract. Only an authorized officer of
                                    SAFECO Life may change this Contract. Any
                                    change must be in writing. SAFECO Life
                                    reserves the right to change the provisions
                                    of this Contract to conform to any
                                    applicable law, regulation, or ruling issued
                                    by a government agency.

VOTING RIGHTS                       SAFECO Life is the legal owner of the
                                    Portfolios' shares. However, when a
                                    Portfolio solicits proxies in connection
                                    with a shareholder vote, we are required to
                                    ask you for instructions as to how to vote
                                    those shares. All shares are voted in the
                                    same proportion as the instructions we
                                    received. Should we determine that we are no
                                    longer required to comply with the above, we
                                    will vote the shares in our own right.

                          ANNUITY PURCHASE RATE TABLES
===============================================================================

                      VARIABLE ANNUITY PURCHASE RATE TABLE

MORTALITY TABLE USED: The rates in the Variable Annuity Purchase Rate Table are
based upon the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table projected 20 Years. An age setback
of 1 year will be used if the annuity payments begin in the year 2013-2022, 2
years if the annuity payments begin in the year 2023-2032, and an additional
1-year setback for each additional 10 years. The assumed investment return in
the table is 4.00%.

Age is to be taken for the exact number of years and completed months. Values
for fractional ages are obtained by simple interpolation. Consideration for ages
or combination of lives not shown will be furnished by SAFECO Life upon request.

*    The consideration shown refers to the net value of the Portfolios used to
     purchase a variable annuity after premium taxes or other applicable charges
     are deducted. For example, if the Annuitant is a 65-year old male, a Life
     Annuity initially equivalent to a monthly income of $1,000 will cost
     $177,060. However, because this is a variable annuity, the dollar amount of
     this monthly income is not guaranteed and may increase or decrease.

**   Annuitant and second Annuitant are assumed to be the same age.

                        FIXED ANNUITY PURCHASE RATE TABLE

MORTALITY TABLE USED: The rates in the Fixed Annuity Purchase Rate Table are
based upon the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table projected 20 years. The effective
interest rate assumed in the table is 2.00%.

Age is to be taken for the exact number of years and completed months. Values
for fractional ages are obtained by simple interpolation. Consideration for ages
or combination of lives not shown will be furnished by SAFECO Life upon request.
