POLICY SUMMARY
This summary highlights some of the important points about your policy. The
policy is more fully described in the attached, complete prospectus. Please read
the prospectus carefully. "We," "us," "our," and the "company" refer to Security
Life of Denver Insurance Company. "You" and "your" refer to the policy owner.
The owner is the individual, entity, partnership, representative or party who
may exercise all rights over the policy and receive the policy benefits during
the insured people's lifetimes.
Any state variations are covered in a special policy form for use in that state.
This prospectus provides a general description of the policy. Your actual policy
and any riders are the controlling documents. If you would like to review a copy
of the policy and riders, contact our customer service center.
Your Policy
Your policy provides life insurance protection on the lives of two insured
people. It is issued based on both insured people's lives and insurance coverage
may continue, in whole or in part, until both have died. The policy includes the
basic policy, applications, and riders or endorsements. As long as the policy
remains in force, we pay a death benefit at the second death of the insured
people. While your policy is in force, you may access a portion of your policy
value by taking loans or partial withdrawals. You may also surrender your policy
for its net cash surrender value. At the younger insured person's 100th birth
date, the policy can be surrendered or continued under the continuation of
coverage feature. See Continuation of Coverage, page 32.
Life insurance is not a short-term investment. It is a long-term risk management
tool that is financed by long-term investments. You should evaluate your need
for life insurance coverage and this policy's long-term potential and risks
before purchasing a policy.
Free Look Period or Right to Examine Policy Period
You have the right to examine your policy and return it for a refund of premiums
paid or the account value, as specified by state law, if you are not satisfied
for any reason. The policy is then void. See Free Look Period or Right to
Examine Policy Period, page 49.
Your Policy Premiums
The policy is a flexible premium policy because the amount and frequency of the
premium payments you make may vary within limits. You must make premium
payments:
o for us to issue your policy;
o sufficient to keep your policy in force; and
o as necessary to continue certain benefits.
On your application, you choose how much and how often you want to pay premiums.
Depending on your choices, it may not be enough to keep your policy or certain
riders in force. The amount of premium you pay affects the length of time your
policy stays in force. See Premiums, page 20.
Allocation of Net Premiums
This policy has premium-based charges which are subtracted from your payments.
We add the balance, or the net premium, to your policy based on your investment
instructions. You may allocate the net premiums among one or more variable
divisions, the guaranteed interest division, or both. You may not invest in more
than eighteen investment divisions, including the guaranteed interest division,
over the life of your policy.
We allocate your initial net premium to the investment divisions you specify
after we:
o receive your initial premium;
o approve your policy application; and
o have the information we require.
You need to allocate your premiums to your investment choices in percentages
that are whole numbers and which total 100%. See Allocation of Net Premiums,
page 21.
Variable Divisions
Any amount you direct into the guaranteed interest division is credited with
interest at a fixed rate set by us. If you invest in any of the following
variable divisions, depending on market conditions, you may
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

make or lose money. The variable divisions are described in the prospectuses for
the underlying investment portfolios.
Each variable division investment portfolio has its own investment objective.

Policy Values
Your policy account value is the amount you have in the guaranteed interest
division, plus the amount you have in each variable division. If you have
outstanding policy loans, your account value includes the amount in the loan
division. The loan division is part of our general account specifically designed
to hold money for loans and loan interest. The general account contains all of
our assets other than those held in the variable account, or our other separate
accounts.
Your account value reflects:
o net premiums;
o deductions for charges;
o the investment performance of the amounts you have in the variable
divisions;
o interest earned on the amount you have in the guaranteed
interest division;
o interest earned and charged on the amount you have in the loan
division; and
o partial withdrawals.
We subtract charges and partial withdrawals you take from your account value.
You make a partial withdrawal when you withdraw part of your net cash surrender
value. Partial withdrawals may reduce the amount of base death benefit which
may trigger a surrender charge.
We may deduct a surrender charge from your account value in the event of:
o surrender;
o policy lapse;
o requested reductions in the stated death benefit; or
o certain partial withdrawals.
See Surrender Charge, page 12.
Your cash surrender value is equal to your account value minus any surrender
charge.
Your net cash surrender value is equal to the cash surrender value minus
outstanding policy loans and accrued loan interest, if any.
Your Account Value in the Variable Divisions
Accumulation units are the way we measure value in the variable divisions.
Accumulation unit value is the value of a unit of a variable division on the
valuation date. Each variable division has a different accumulation unit value.
See Determining the Value of the Variable Divisions, page 33.
On each valuation date, we determine the accumulation unit values. The
accumulation unit value for each variable division reflects the investment
performance of the matching investment portfolio during the valuation period.
The valuation period is the time beginning at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a
valuation date and ending at 4:00 p.m.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
9
<PAGE>
Eastern Time on the next valuation date. Each accumulation unit value reflects
asset-based charges under the policy, and the expenses of the investment
portfolios. See How We Calculate Accumulation Unit Values for Each Division,
page 33.
Transfers of Account Values
You may make up to twelve free transfers among the variable divisions or to the
guaranteed interest division per policy year. We charge $25 for each transfer
over twelve you make in a policy year. This charge does not apply to any
automatic rebalancing or dollar cost averaging transfers: they are free. There
are restrictions on transfers to or from the guaranteed interest division. See
Transfers of Account Values, page 34.
Special Policy Features
Additional Benefits
You may attach certain additional benefits to your policy by rider. In most
cases, we deduct a monthly charge from your account value for these benefits.
See Additional Benefits, page 28.
Dollar Cost Averaging
You may choose dollar cost averaging on your application or complete a customer
service form. Dollar cost averaging is a systematic plan of transferring account
values to selected investment divisions. It is intended to protect your policy's
value from short-term price fluctuations. However, dollar cost averaging does
not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market.
Dollar cost averaging is free. See Dollar Cost Averaging, page 35.
Automatic Rebalancing
You may choose automatic rebalancing on your policy. Automatic rebalancing
periodically reallocates your net account value among the investment divisions
to maintain your specified distribution of account value among those divisions.
Automatic rebalancing is free. See Automatic Rebalancing, page 35.
Withdrawal Investment Division
Beginning on or before November 1, 1999, you may specify a single withdrawal
investment division from which we will deduct your monthly deductions from your
account value. All other fees and charges will be deducted as described in this
prospectus. See Charges and Deductions, page 11.
Loans
You may take loans against your policy's net cash surrender value. The net cash
surrender value is your account value minus any surrender charges, loans and
accrued loan interest. We charge an annual loan interest rate of 3.75%. We
credit an annual interest rate of 3.0% on amounts held as collateral in the loan
division as collateral for your loan. Beginning in your eleventh policy year,
where permitted by law, we may include amounts in the loan division for
calculation of your policy's persistency refund. See Policy Loans, page 36.
Partial Withdrawals
You may withdraw part of your cash surrender value any time after your first
policy year. You may make only one partial withdrawal per policy year. Partial
withdrawals may reduce the death benefit and will reduce your account value.
Surrender charges may apply. See Partial Withdrawals, page 37.
Persistency Refund
After your tenth policy anniversary, where permitted by state law, we credit
your account value with a persistency refund on every monthly processing date.
See Persistency Refund, page 51.
Policy Modification, Termination and Continuation Features
Right to Exchange Policy
For 24 months after the policy date you can exchange your policy for a
guaranteed policy, unless state law requires differently. Right to exchange
policy is free. See Right to Exchange Policy, page 31.
Policy Split Option
You may split your policy into two separate life insurance policies each
insuring the life of one insured person, under certain circumstances. This split
may occur upon divorce between the two
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor

<PAGE>
insured people, business dissolution, or a possible adverse future change in the
tax law. The policy split option is free. See Policy Split Option, page 30.
Surrender
You may surrender your policy for its net cash surrender value at any time while
an insured person is living.
We calculate your net cash surrender value on the valuation date we receive your
request and policy at our customer service center. All insurance coverage ends
on that date. You must return your policy to us. See Surrender, page 41.
Lapse
In general, insurance coverage continues as long as your policy's net cash
surrender value is enough to pay the monthly deductions. However, your policy
and its riders are guaranteed not to lapse during the first five years of your
policy if the conditions of the special continuation period have been met. See
Lapse, page 38.
Reinstatement
You may reinstate your policy and its riders within five years of its lapse if
the insured people meet the same underwriting requirements as were met at policy
issue.
You will need to give proof of insurability as at policy issue. You will also
need to pay required reinstatement premiums.
We will reinstate any policy loans existing when coverage ended, with accrued
loan interest to the date of the lapse. See Reinstatement, page 40.
Continuation of Coverage
At the younger insured person's 100th birth date, you may choose to let the
continuation of coverage feature become effective. If the continuation of
coverage feature becomes effective, we will deduct a one-time administrative fee
of $400 and keep your policy in force. See Continuation of Coverage, page 32.
Death Benefits
At the second death of the two insured people, we pay death proceeds to the
beneficiary(ies) if your policy is still in force. The beneficiary(ies) is(are)
the person or people you name to receive the death proceeds. The death proceeds
equal the base death benefit plus amounts payable by rider, minus the amount of
your outstanding policy loan and accrued loan interest. The base death benefit
varies according to which death benefit option you have chosen.
The base death benefit does not include any adjustable term insurance rider you
may have on your policy. The target death benefit includes any adjustable term
insurance rider you may have on your policy plus your base death benefit. The
total death benefit is at least equal to or greater than your target death
benefit.
The minimum target death benefit to issue your policy is $250,000. If you have
an adjustable term rider, the minimum stated death benefit to issue your policy
is $100,000. However, we may lower this minimum for group or sponsored
arrangements, or corporate purchasers. See Death Benefit, page 22.
You may change your base death benefit amount while your policy is in force,
subject to certain restrictions. See Changes in Death Benefit Amounts, page 26.
Charges and Deductions
Deductions From Premium
We make the following deductions from each premium payment you make:
1. Tax charges -- We currently deduct a charge of 2.5% of premiums for
state and local taxes. We currently deduct a charge of 1.5% of each
premium to cover our estimated cost of the federal income tax treatment
of deferred acquisition costs. See Tax Charges, page 48.
2. Sales charge -- We deduct a percentage of each premium to cover a
portion of our expenses in selling your policy. This charge is based on
the length of time since your policy or a segment became effective.

Segment Target Target
Year Premium Premium
1 - 5 5.5% 2%

See Deductions from Premiums, page 48.
Deductions from the Variable Divisions
We assess a mortality and expense risk charge of 0.75% per year or 0.002055% per
day against the variable divisions. This charge compensates us for mortality and
expense risks under the policies. See Daily Deductions from the Variable
Account, page 49.
Monthly Deductions from Your Account Value
We deduct the following charges from your account value at the beginning of each
policy month:
1. Policy charge-- $15 per month for the first ten policy years and $9
per month for each policy year after the tenth.
2. Monthly administrative charge -- A charge of no less than $0.07 and no
more than $0.095 per $1,000 for the first ten policy years. We charge
$0.023 per $1,000 for each policy year after the tenth. The exact per
$1,000 charge for your policy is based on the insured people's issue
ages and policy duration.
3. Cost of insurance charge -- Based on the net amount at risk on the
lives of the insured people. The amount of this charge differs for the
segments of the base death benefit and the adjustable term insurance
rider.
4. Guaranteed minimum death benefit (if applicable)-- $0.005 per $1,000
of stated death benefit per month.
5. Charges for additional benefits -- The cost of additional benefits you
choose. The adjustable term insurance rider charge is included in the
cost of insurance charge.
See Monthly Deductions from the Account Value, page 49.
Policy Transaction Fees
We deduct policy transaction fees from the variable and guaranteed interest
divisions. We deduct these fees proportionately based on the account value in
each investment division in which you have amounts invested immediately before
the transaction.
The following are the current transaction fees. See Policy Transaction Fees,
page 51.
1. Partial withdrawal fee -- $25.
2. Transfer fee -- We allow twelve free transfers among investment
divisions per policy year. For each transfer beyond that, a $25 fee
applies.
3. Illustrations -- You may request one free illustration per policy year.
For each illustration beyond that, a $25 fee may apply.
Administrative Fees
Continuation of Coverage -- To activate continued coverage, we will deduct a
one-time $400 administrative fee from your account value at the younger insured
person's 100th birth date.
Allocation Change Fee
You may make five free premium and five free automatic rebalancing allocation
changes per policy year. We charge you $25 for each additional allocation change
per policy year. The $25 fee is withdrawn from your investment divisions on a
pro-rata basis.
Surrender Charges
During the first nine years of your policy or of a new coverage segment, we
assess a surrender charge if you:
o surrender the policy;
o reduce the stated death benefit (other than by changing the death
benefit option);
o let your policy lapse; or
o take a partial withdrawal which reduces your stated death benefit.
The surrender charge is a percentage of your target premium. It depends upon the
insured people's ages

at the policy date. See Surrender Charge, page 51.
Charges from Investment Portfolios
The investment portfolios have investment management fees and other expenses
which are deducted by the portfolio managers. See Charges from Portfolios, page
52.
Tax Considerations
Under current federal income tax law, death benefits of life insurance policies
generally are not subject to income tax. In order for this treatment to apply,
the policy must qualify as a life insurance contract. We believe it is
reasonable to conclude that the policy will qualify as a life insurance
contract. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 56.
Assuming the policy qualifies as a life insurance contract, under current
federal income tax law, your account value earnings are generally not subject to
income tax as long as they remain within your policy. However depending on
circumstances, the following events may cause taxable consequences for you:
o partial withdrawals;
o surrender; or
o lapse.
In addition to the events listed above, if your policy is a modified endowment
contract, loans against or secured by the policy may cause income taxation. A
penalty tax may be imposed on a distribution from a modified endowment contract
as well. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 57.
You should consult a qualified legal or tax adviser before you purchase your
policy.

Year 2000 Preparedness
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company is aware of the computer problems that
may exist surrounding the Year 2000. Our senior management is committed to
ensuring that information processing and delivery systems will be Year 2000
compliant before December 31, 1999. A project plan has been developed and we
have a project team in place to analyze and remediate our in-house source code.
The project plan covers Security Life, ING America Equities, Inc., Midwestern
United Life Insurance Company, and First ING Life Insurance Company of New York.
We will follow our normal project management methodology including communication
with senior management on a monthly and as-needed basis. Completion date is on
schedule for June 28, 1999.
Funds have been allocated for the 1999 efforts, and we are confident we have
sufficient resources to ensure Year 2000 processing capabilities.
Security Life Separate Account L1
Variable Account Structure
We established Security Life Separate Account L1 (the "variable account") on
November 3, 1993, under Colorado's insurance law. It is a unit investment trust,
registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The SEC does
not supervise our management of the variable account or Security Life.
The variable account is a separate investment account. It is used to support our
variable life insurance policies and for other purposes allowed by law and
regulation. We keep the variable account assets separate from our general
account and other separate accounts. We may offer other variable life insurance
contracts, with different charges and benefits, that invest in the variable
account. We do not discuss these contracts in this prospectus. The variable
account may invest in other securities not available for the policy described in
this prospectus. The general account contains all of our assets other than those
held in the variable account (variable divisions) or other separate accounts.
The company owns all the assets in the variable account. We credit gains to or
charge losses against the variable account without regard to performance of
other investment accounts.
Order of Variable Account Liabilities
State law provides that we may not charge general account liabilities against
variable account assets equal to its reserves and other liabilities.
The variable account may have liabilities from assets credited to other variable
life policies offered by the variable account. If the assets of the variable
account are greater than required reserves and policy liabilities, we may
transfer the excess to our general account.
Variable Divisions
The variable account has several divisions. Each division invests in shares of a
matching investment portfolio. This means that the investment performance of a
policy depends on the performance of the investment portfolios you choose. Each
investment portfolio has its own investment objective. These investment
portfolios are not available directly to individual investors. They are only
available as the underlying investments for variable annuity and variable life
insurance contracts and certain pension accounts.
Investment Portfolios
Each of the investment portfolios is a separate series of an open-end management
investment company. The investment company receives investment advice from a
registered investment adviser who is not associated with us.
The investment portfolios sell shares to separate accounts of insurance
companies. These insurance companies may or may not be affiliated with us. This
is known as "shared funding." Investment portfolios may sell shares as the
underlying investment for both variable annuity and variable life insurance
contracts. This process is known as "mixed funding."
The investment portfolios may sell shares to certain qualified pension and
retirement plans that qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code
("IRC"). As a result, a material conflict of interest may arise between
insurance companies, owners of different types of contracts and retirement
plans, or their participants.
If there is a material conflict, we will consider what should be done, including
removing the investment

portfolio from the variable account. There are certain risks with mixed and
shared funding, and with selling shares to qualified pension and retirement
plans. See the investment portfolios' prospectuses and statements of additional
information.
Objectives of the Investment Portfolios
Each investment portfolio has a different investment objective that it tries to
achieve by following its own investment strategy. The objectives and policies of
each investment portfolio affect its return and its risks. With this prospectus,
you must receive the current prospectus for each investment portfolio. We
summarize the investment objectives for each investment portfolio here. You
should read each investment portfolio prospectus.
Some investment portfolio advisers (or their affiliates) may pay us compensation
for servicing, administration or other expenses. Currently, these advisers
include A I M Management Group, Inc.; Fidelity Investments; Fred Alger
Management, Inc.; INVESCO Funds; Neuberger Berman Management, Inc.; and Van Eck
Global. The amount of compensation is usually based on the aggregate assets of
the investment portfolio from contracts that we issue or administer. Some
advisers may pay us more than others.

is mostly responsible for providing the portfolios with investment management,
various administrative services, and supervising the Fund's daily business
affairs.

provides distribution services for the INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc.

The Fund pursues its investment objectives through investment in a variety
of bonds, including long-term, intermediate-term, and short-term bonds.
Potential capital appreciation is a secondary factor in the selection of

higher risk of lower-rated "junk" bonds. See the prospectus for the INVESCO
VIF High Yield Portfolio for more information concerning these risks.
INVESCO VIF-Industrial Income Fund -- seeks the best possible current income,
while following sound investment practices. Capital growth potential is a
secondary goal.

paying common stocks. Up to 10% of the portfolio's total assets may be
invested in equity securities that do not pay regular dividends. The

The investments for the portfolio are managed by the same portfolio manager(s)
who manage one or more other mutual funds that have similar names, investment
objectives and investment styles as the portfolio. You should be aware that the
portfolio is likely to differ from the other mutual funds in size, cash flow
pattern and tax matters. Accordingly, the holdings and performance of the
portfolio can be expected to vary from those of the other mutual

securities of any duration.

The Guaranteed Interest Division
You may allocate all or a part of the net premiums and transfers of your net
account value into the guaranteed interest division. The guaranteed interest
division is part of our general account which guarantees principal. It pays
interest at a fixed rate that we declare.
The general account supports our non-variable insurance and annuity obligations.
We have not registered interests in the guaranteed interest division
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
18
<PAGE>
under the Securities Act of 1933. Also, we have not registered the guaranteed
interest division or the general account as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (because of exemptive and exclusionary
provisions). This means that the general account, the guaranteed interest
division and its interests are generally not subject to regulation under these
Acts.
The SEC staff has not reviewed the disclosures included in this prospectus
relating to the general account and the guaranteed interest division. These
disclosures, however, may be subject to certain requirements of the federal
securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made in this
prospectus.
The amount you have in the guaranteed interest division is the sum of net
premiums you allocate to that division, plus transfers you made to the
guaranteed interest division, plus interest earned.
Amounts you transfer out of or withdraw from the guaranteed interest division
reduce this amount. It is also reduced by deductions for charges from your
account value allocated to the guaranteed interest division.
We declare the interest rate that applies to all amounts in the guaranteed
interest division. These interest rates are never less than the minimum
guaranteed interest rate of 3% and will be in effect for periods of at least
twelve months. Interest compounds daily at an effective annual rate that equals
the declared rate. We credit interest to the guaranteed interest division on a
daily basis. We pay interest regardless of the actual investment performance of
our account. We bear all of the investment risk for the guaranteed interest
division.
Maximum Number of Investment Divisions
You may invest in a total of eighteen divisions over the lifetime of your
policy. Investment divisions include the variable and the guaranteed interest
divisions. The loan division does not count toward the eighteen division
maximum.
As an example, if you have had funds in seventeen variable divisions and the
guaranteed interest division (or eighteen variable divisions), these are the
only divisions to which you may later add or transfer funds. You may want to use
fewer divisions in the early years of your policy, so that you can invest in
other divisions in the future. Further, if you invest in eighteen variable
divisions, you will not be able to invest in the guaranteed interest division.
DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE VARIABLE LAST
SURVIVOR UNIVERSAL LIFE POLICY
This prospectus describes our standard Variable Last Survivor Universal Life
insurance policy. There may be differences in the policy because of state
requirements where we issue your policy. We will describe any such differences
in your policy.
The illustrations beginning on page 60 show how the Variable Last Survivor
policies work.
Applying for a Policy
You may purchase a Variable Last Survivor policy by submitting an application to
us. On the policy date, the joint equivalent age of the two insured people must
be no older than age 85. The insured people are the two people on whose lives we
issue the policy. The insured people share some relationship and commonly
include, among others: husband and wife; business partners; parent and child;
grandparent and grandchild; and siblings. Upon the second death of the insured
people we pay the death proceeds. Age is each insured person's age on the
birthday nearest the policy date plus the number of completed policy years
since the policy date.
The individual age of each insured person must be no more than 90 years of age
on the policy date. There is no maximum age difference between the two insured
people. We may back-date the policy up to six months to allow either or both of
the insured people to give proof of a younger age for the purposes of your
policy.
Policy Issuance
Before we issue a policy or apply your net premium to the investment divisions,
we require satisfactory evidence of insurability of both insured people and
payment of your initial premium. This evidence may
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
19
<PAGE>
include a medical examination and completion of all underwriting and issue
requirements.
The investment date is the date we apply your initial net premium to the policy.
It is the valuation date when we have received your initial premium, your policy
is issued, and all issue requirements have been met. Your initial premium is the
premium we must receive before coverage can begin. The initial premium is the
first premium we receive and apply to your policy. It must be at least equal to
the sum of the scheduled premiums which are due from your policy date through
your investment date.
If you have a policy with no adjustable term insurance rider, your stated death
benefit may be no less than $250,000. If you choose to have an adjustable term
insurance rider, your stated death benefit may be as little as $100,000, as long
as your target death benefit is at least $250,000. See Changes in Death Benefit
Amounts, page 26.
We may reduce the minimum stated death benefit for group or sponsored
arrangements or corporate purchasers. Our underwriting and reinsurance
procedures in effect at the time you apply limit the maximum stated death
benefit.
The policy date shown on your policy schedule is the effective date for all
coverage. The policy date determines:
o monthly processing dates;
o policy months;
o policy years; and
o policy anniversaries.
It is not affected by the date you receive the policy. The policy date may be
different from the date we receive your first premium payment. If the policy
date is earlier, we charge monthly deductions from the policy date.
Definition of Life Insurance
We apply a test to make sure that your policy meets the federal tax definition
of life insurance. The Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test applies to
your policy. We may limit premium payments relative to your policy death benefit
under this test. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 56.
Temporary Insurance
If you apply and qualify, we may issue temporary insurance in an amount equal to
the face amount of insurance for which you applied. The maximum amount of
temporary insurance for binding limited life insurance coverage is $3 million,
which includes any in force coverage with us. This temporary insurance is in
force as long as you meet all requirements.
Coverage begins when:
1. you have completed and signed our binding limited life insurance
coverage form;
2. we receive and accept a premium payment of at least your scheduled
premium (selected on your application); and
3. part I of the application is completed.
Binding limited life insurance coverage ends on the earliest of:
o the date we return your premiums;
o five days after we mail notice of termination to the address on your
application;
o the date your policy coverage starts;
o the date we refuse to issue you a policy based on your application; or
o 90 days after you sign our binding limited life insurance coverage
form.
There is no death benefit under the temporary insurance agreement if:
o there is a material misrepresentation in your answers on the binding
limited life insurance coverage form;
o there is a material misrepresentation in statements on your
application;
o the person or persons intended to be the insured people die by suicide
or self-inflicted injury; or
o the bank does not honor your premium check.
Premiums
You may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments, within limits.
During the continuation of coverage period premium payments will not be accepted
or scheduled. See Continuation of Coverage, page 32.

Scheduled Premiums
Your premiums are flexible. You may select your scheduled premium (within our
limits) when you apply for your policy. The scheduled premium, shown in your
policy and schedule, is the amount you choose to pay over a stated time period.
This amount may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force. You may
receive premium reminder notices for the scheduled premium on a monthly,
quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis. You are not required to pay the
scheduled premium.
Alternatively, you may choose to pay your premium by electronic funds transfer
each month. This option is not available for your initial premium. The financial
institution that makes your electronic funds transfer may charge for this
service.
You can change the amount of your scheduled premium within our minimum and
maximum limits at any time. If you fail to pay your scheduled premium or if you
change the amount of your scheduled premium, your policy performance will be
affected. During the special continuation period, your scheduled premium should
not be less than the special continuation premium shown in your policy. If you
want the guaranteed minimum death benefit, your scheduled premium should not be
less than the guarantee period annual premium shown in your policy. See
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, page 27.
Unscheduled Premium Payments
Generally speaking, you may make unscheduled premium payments at any time,
however, we will return all or part of premium payments which are greater than
the "seven-pay" limit for your policy if your payment would cause your policy to
become a modified endowment contract, unless you send us notice acknowledging
the new modified endowment contract status for your policy.
See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 57 and Changes to Comply with Law, page
59.
If you have an outstanding policy loan and you make an unscheduled payment, we
will consider this payment a loan repayment, unless you tell us otherwise. If
your payment is a loan repayment, we do not take out the tax and sales charges
which apply to premium payments.
Minimum Annual Premium
You must pay a minimum annual premium during your first five policy years to
qualify for the special continuation period discussed below.
Your minimum annual premium is based on:
o each insured person's age, gender, premium class and any rating;
o the stated death benefit of your policy; and
o any additional benefits you select.
Your minimum annual premium is shown in the schedule pages of your policy. We
may reduce the minimum annual premium for group, or sponsored arrangements, or
for corporate purchasers.
Special Continuation Period
During the special continuation period, we guarantee that your policy will not
lapse, regardless of its net cash surrender value, if on a monthly processing
date during the first five policy years:
o all premiums paid; minus
o partial withdrawals that you have taken; minus
o policy loans you have taken, including accrued loan interest is greater
than or equal to;
o the sum of the minimum monthly premiums for each policy month, starting
with the first month of your policy through the current policy monthly
processing date.
The minimum monthly premium is one-twelfth of the minimum annual premium.
During the first five years of your policy, we will not deduct certain charges
if there is not enough net cash surrender value to deduct them without causing
your policy to lapse. However, they are not permanently waived. We will deduct
them when there is sufficient net cash surrender value or at the beginning of
the sixth policy year, whichever is earlier. If you have a negative account
value at the end of the fifth policy year, your policy will lapse unless you
gain sufficient account value to avoid the lapse (either by premium payments or
gains). See Lapse, page 38.
Allocation of Net Premiums
The net premium is the balance remaining after we take premium-based charges
from your premium payment. We add the net premium to your account value
according to your instructions.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
21
<PAGE>
On the investment date, we will apply the net premium payments we have received
from you to your policy. Your initial net premium is allocated to your
allocation investment choices on the valuation date when:
a) we receive the amount of premium required for your insurance coverage
to begin; and
b) all issue requirements have been met and received by our customer
service center.
All amounts you designated for the guaranteed interest division will be
allocated to that division. If your state requires return of your premium during
the free look period, we invest amounts you have designated for the variable
divisions into the Fidelity VIP Money Market Division until 15 days after we
issue your policy (deemed delivery time, plus an average free look period, which
varies by state). If your state provides for return of account value during the
free look period, we invest amounts you designated for the variable divisions
directly into your selected investment portfolios. See Free Look Period or Right
to Examine Policy, page 41.
After you make your initial net premium, we allocate net premiums among your
investment choices on the valuation date of receipt. We always use your most
recent premium allocation instructions. Your instructions must specify
percentages that are whole numbers totaling 100%.
You may invest in a maximum of eighteen divisions over the lifetime of your
policy. This eighteen division maximum includes the variable divisions and the
guaranteed interest division, but not the loan division. See Maximum Number of
Investment Divisions, page 19.
You may make five free premium allocation changes per year. After the five free
premium allocation changes, we charge you $25 for each additional allocation
change per policy year. The $25 fee is withdrawn from each investment division
pro rata to the amount in each division.
Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage
Unless you have the guaranteed minimum death benefit feature, your policy
continues in effect only until your net cash surrender value no longer covers
the monthly deductions for your benefits. If this happens, your policy will
enter the 61-day grace period and you must make a premium payment to avoid
lapse. See Lapse, page 38.
If you pay your minimum annual premium each year during the first five policy
years, we guarantee your policy and riders will not lapse during the special
continuation period, regardless of your net cash surrender value. See Special
Continuation Period, page 21.
Under the guaranteed minimum death benefit, the stated or base death benefit
portion of your policy remains effective until the end of the guarantee period.
The guaranteed minimum death benefit feature does not apply to riders which can
lapse and terminate during the guarantee period. You must meet all conditions of
the guarantee. See Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Provision, page 27.
Modified Endowment Contracts
There are special federal income tax rules for distributions from certain life
insurance policies known as "modified endowment contracts." These rules apply to
distributions such as policy loans, surrenders and partial withdrawals.
Whether or not these rules apply depends upon whether or not the premiums you
paid are greater than the "seven- pay" limit. See Modified Endowment Contracts,
page 57.
If we find that your scheduled premium causes your policy to be a modified
endowment contract on your policy date, we will require you to acknowledge that
you know the policy is a modified endowment contract. We will issue your policy
based on the scheduled premium you selected. If you do not want your policy to
be issued as a modified endowment contract, you may reduce your scheduled
premium to a level which does not cause your policy to be a modified endowment
contract. We will then issue your policy based on the revised scheduled premium.
Death Benefits
You can decide the amount of insurance you need, now and in the future. You can
combine the long-term advantages of permanent life insurance (base) coverage
with the flexibility and short-term advantages of term life insurance. Both
permanent and term life insurance are available under your
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor

<PAGE>
variable last survivor policy.
When we issue your policy, we base the initial insurance coverage on the
instructions in your application. The initial death benefit is the stated death
benefit amount. You can add an adjustable term insurance rider or single life
term rider for additional insurance coverage.
The stated death benefit is the permanent element of your policy. The adjustable
term insurance rider is the term insurance element of your policy.
As a variable last survivor policy, your policy has a joint nature to the death
benefits. This means that we do not pay death proceeds until the second death of
the insured people. Your death benefit is calculated as of the date of the
second death of the insured people.
The adjustable term insurance rider acts as a bridge. It provides term insurance
coverage which automatically adjusts to fill the gap between your total death
benefit and your base death benefit, depending on which death benefit option you
choose. If you have a policy with no term rider, your stated death benefit may
be no less than $250,000. If you choose to have an adjustable term insurance
rider, your stated death benefit may be as low as $100,000, as long as your
target death benefit is at least $250,000.
We do not guarantee coverage provided by the adjustable term insurance rider
under the guaranteed minimum death benefit. It may be to your economic advantage
to include part of your insurance coverage under the adjustable term insurance
rider. Both the cost of insurance under the adjustable term insurance rider and
the cost of insurance for the base death benefit are deducted monthly from your
account value and generally increase with the age of the insured people. Use of
the adjustable term insurance rider may reduce sales compensation. See
Adjustable Term Insurance Rider, page 29.

Base Death Benefit
Your base death benefit can be different from your stated death benefit as a
result of:
o your choice of death benefit option;
o your choice of the enhanced death benefit corridor option;
o a change in your death benefit option;
o increases to satisfy the federal income tax law definition of life
insurance;
o partial withdrawals;
o increases or decreases in the stated death benefit; or
o a transaction which causes the base death benefit to change.
As long as your policy is in force, we will pay the death proceeds to your
beneficiary(ies) at the second death of the insured people. The beneficiary(ies)
is(are) the person (people) you name to receive the death proceeds from your
policy. The death proceeds are:
o your base death benefit; plus
o any rider benefits; minus
o your outstanding policy loan with accrued loan interest; minus
o outstanding policy charges due before the second death of the insured
people.
There could be outstanding policy charges if the
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>
second death of the insured people happens while your policy is in the grace
period or in the five-year special continuation period.
Death Benefit Options
You have a choice of two death benefit options in addition to the enhanced death
benefit corridor option: option 1 or option 2 (described below). Your choice may
result in you having a base death benefit, which is greater than your stated
death benefit. Your death benefit is calculated as of the date of the second
death of the insured people. You may change your death benefit option after your
first policy year and before the continuation of coverage feature begins. You
may not change your enhanced death benefit corridor option. You must choose
whether or not you want the enhanced death benefit corridor option before we
issue your policy. See Changes In Death Benefit Option 1 or 2, page 25.
Under death benefit option 1, your base death benefit is the greater of:
1. your stated death benefit; or
2. your account value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the
"Definition of Life Insurance Factors" shown in Appendix A or B
depending on whether or not you elect the enhanced death benefit
option.
Under death benefit option 2, your base death benefit is the greater of:
1. your stated death benefit plus your account value; or
2. your account value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the
"Definition of Life Insurance Factors" shown in Appendix A or B
depending on whether or not you elect the enhanced death benefit
option.
Under option 1 positive investment performance is generally reflected in a
reduced net amount at risk. This lowers your policy's total cost of insurance
charges. Option 1 offers insurance coverage that is a set amount with
potentially lower cost of insurance charges over time. You should choose option
2 if you want to have investment performance reflected in your insurance
coverage.
Federal income tax law requires that your death benefit be at least as much as
your account value multiplied by a factor defined by law. This factor is based
on:
o the younger insured person's age; and
o the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test for the federal income
tax law definition of life insurance; and
o the enhanced death benefit corridor option, if elected.
We will adjust your policy to continue to qualify as life insurance under the
federal income tax laws in existence at the time the policy was issued.
Changes in Death Benefit Option 1 or 2
You may request a change in your death benefit option 1 or 2 after your first
policy year and before the continuation of coverage feature begins. Your death
benefit option change is effective on your next monthly anniversary after we
accept and approve your requested change, so long as at least five days remain
before your monthly anniversary. If fewer than five days remain before your
monthly anniversary, your death benefit option change is effective on your next
monthly anniversary.
After we approve your request, we send a new policy schedule page to you. You
should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to our
customer service center so that we can note the change in your schedule. A death
benefit option change applies to your entire stated or base death benefit.
Changing your death benefit option may reduce or increase your target death
benefit, as well as your stated death benefit.
We may not allow you to change the death benefit option if it reduces the target
or stated death benefit below the minimum we require to issue your policy.
On the effective date of your option change, your stated death benefit is
changed as follows:
Change Change Stated Death Benefit
From To Following Change:
Option 1 Option 2 your stated death benefit
before the change minus
your gross account value as
of the effective date of the
change.
Option 2 Option 1 your stated death benefit
before the change plus your
gross account value as of the
effective date of the change.
We increase or decrease your stated death benefit to keep the net amount at risk
the same on the date you change your death benefit option. Additionally, there
is no change to the amount of term insurance if you have an adjustable term
insurance rider. See Cost of Insurance Charges, page 50.
If you change your death benefit option, we adjust the stated death benefit for
each of your segments by allocating your account value to each benefit segment.
If you change from death benefit option 1 to option 2, your stated death benefit
is decreased by the amount of your account value allocation to that segment. If
you change from death benefit option 2 to option 1, your stated death benefit is
increased by the amount allocated to that segment.
We do not impose a surrender charge for any decrease in your stated death
benefit due to your changing your death benefit option. There is no change to
the target premium. See Surrender Charge, page 51.
Death benefit option 2 is not available during the continuation of coverage
period. If you select this on your policy, it automatically converts to death
benefit option 1 upon the younger insured person's 100th birth date.
Enhanced Death Benefit Corridor Option
You may elect, at any time prior to the issuance of your policy, the enhanced
death benefit corridor option.
This option generally provides an opportunity for you to have an increased death
benefit on the lives of the insured people at certain ages. Under death benefit
options 1 and 2, to calculate your base death benefit value, your account value
is multiplied by a factor shown in Appendix A or B depending on whether or not
you elect this option. The result of this calculation is your base death benefit
if it exceeds your stated death benefit. Under the enhanced death benefit
corridor option, we calculate your base death benefit using the factors shown on
Appendix B. See Death Benefit Options, page 24.
There is no separate charge for this feature. However, the same account value
may generate a higher base death benefit under policies with this option than on
policies where you do not elect the option. Cost of insurance charges are based
on the net amount at risk, which is the difference between the account value and
the base death benefit. Therefore, as a result of the increased death benefit,
the cost of insurance charges may be higher for policies where you elect this
option. Your registered representative/agent can provide you with a personalized
illustration to show the difference between a policy with this option and one
without it. If your policy does not have sufficient account value, electing this
option may have no effect on your base death benefit.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor

<PAGE>
Adding this option to your policy does not affect the operation of your policy's
riders, including the adjustable term insurance rider. When the base death
benefit is more than the stated death benefit, transactions which reduce your
account value (such as a partial withdrawal) also reduce your death benefit. The
dollar reduction to the death benefit under these circumstances is greater for
policies with the enhancement option than on those without the option.
Once elected, this option cannot be deleted from your policy. You may lose the
benefit of this option if your account value falls below the minimum level
needed to keep it in effect. Once elected, this option continues as long as
coverage on the original insured people continues.
Changes in Death Benefit Amounts
You may want to increase the target or stated death benefit under your policy.
You may do this while your policy is in force and before the policy anniversary
when the joint equivalent age of the insured people is 85.
You must provide satisfactory evidence that each insured person is still
insurable to increase your death benefit. You may request a decrease in the
stated death benefit only after your first policy anniversary.
Contact our customer service center to request an increase or decrease in your
policy death benefit. The request is effective as of the next monthly processing
date after we receive your request and approve it, unless there are underwriting
or other requirements which must be met before your request is effective. Any
requested change in your coverage must be for at least $1,000.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Afterwe approve your request, we will send you a new schedule page for your
policy which includes the:
o stated death benefit;
o benefit under applicable riders;
o guaranteed cost of insurance rates of each segment;
o new surrender charge; and
o target death benefit schedule.
Keep the new schedule with your policy. We may ask you to send your policy to us
so that we can note the change in your schedule.
We may not approve a requested change because it will disqualify your policy as
life insurance under the applicable federal income tax law. If we disapprove a
change for any reason, we provide you with a notice of our decision.
See Tax Considerations, page 56.
If your policy does not have an adjustable term insurance rider, your stated
death benefit may be no less than $250,000. If you choose to have an adjustable
term insurance rider, your stated death benefit may be as low as $100,000 as
long as your target death benefit is at least $250,000.
There may be tax consequences as a result of a decrease in your death benefit,
as well as a possible surrender charge. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 56
and Modified Endowment Contracts, page 57.
Requested reductions in the death benefit will first be applied to decrease the
target death benefit. We decrease your stated death benefit only after your
adjustable term insurance rider coverage is reduced to zero. If you have more
than one segment (see below), we divide subsequent decreases in stated death
benefit among your benefit segments pro rata unless state law requires
differently.
Unless you tell us differently, we assume any request you make for an increase
in your target death benefit is also a request for an increase to the stated
death benefit. Thus, the amount of your adjustable term insurance rider will not
change.
You may change the target death benefit only once in a policy year.
The initial, or first segment, is the stated death benefit on the effective date
of the policy. An increase in the stated death benefit (other than one caused by
an option change) will cause a new segment to be created. The segment year
begins on the segment effective date and ends one year later. The following may
apply to each new segment:
o a new minimum annual premium during the first five years of your
policy;
o a new sales charge;
o new surrender charges;
o new cost of insurance charges, guaranteed and current;
o a new incontestability period;
o a new suicide exclusion period; and
o a new target premium.
A requested increase in your stated death benefit creates a new segment. Once we
create a new segment, it is permanent unless state law requires differently. If
an option change causes the stated death benefit to increase, no new segment is
created. Instead, the size of each existing segment(s) is(are) changed. If it
causes the stated death benefit to decrease, each segment is decreased.
To determine the applicable sales charge, premiums you pay after an increase are
applied to your policy segments in the same proportion as the target premium for
each segment bears to the sum of the target premium for all segments.
We allocate the net amount at risk among segments in the same proportion that
each segment bears to the total stated death benefit.
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
Usually, how long your policy remains in force depends on your policy's net cash
surrender value. Because we deduct charges monthly from your net cash surrender
value, your coverage lasts only as long as your net cash surrender value is
enough to pay these charges and your account value is more than your loan
interest due during the special continuation period. Your account value and the
length of time your policy remains in force depends on:
1. timing and amount of any premium payments;
2. the investment performance of the variable divisions;
3. the interest you earn in the guaranteed interest division;
4. the amount of your monthly charges; and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
27
<PAGE>
5. partial withdrawals you take.
You can choose whether or not to put the guaranteed minimum death benefit
feature in force only at the issue of your policy. This feature extends the
period that your policy's stated death benefit remains in effect even if the
variable divisions have poor investment performance. It has a guarantee period
that lasts until the younger insured person's 100th birth date, so long as you
have met all requirements.
The guaranteed minimum death benefit coverage does not apply to any riders,
including the adjustable term insurance rider. Therefore, if your net cash
surrender value is not enough to pay the deductions as they come due on your
policy and if your policy is outside the special continuation period, only the
stated death benefit portion of your coverage is guaranteed to stay in force.
All riders will end.
The guaranteed minimum death benefit feature is not available in some states.
If you choose the guaranteed minimum death benefit feature, we currently charge
the guaranteed rate of $0.005 per $1,000 of your stated death benefit each month
during the guarantee period.
Requirements to Maintain the Guarantee Period
To qualify for the guaranteed minimum death benefit you must pay an annual
premium higher than the minimum annual premium. This higher premium is called
the guarantee period annual premium. The guarantee period monthly premium is
equal to one-twelfth of the guarantee period annual premium. Your net account
value must also meet certain diversification requirements.
Your guarantee period annual premium depends on:
o your policy's stated death benefit;
o each insured person's age, gender, premium class and underwriting
characteristics;
o the death benefit option you chose;
o additional rider coverage on your policy; and
o other additional benefits on your policy.
At each monthly processing date we test to see if you have paid enough premium
to keep your guarantee in place. We calculate:
o actual premiums paid; minus
o the amount of any partial withdrawals you make; minus
o policy loans you take with accrued loan interest. This amount must
equal or exceed;
o the sum of the guarantee period monthly premium payments for each
policy month starting with your first policy month through the end of
the policy month that begins on the current monthly processing date.
You must continually meet the requirements of the guarantee period for this
feature to remain in effect. We show the guarantee period annual premium on your
policy schedule. If your policy benefits increase, the guarantee period annual
premium increases. If your policy fails to meet this test on any monthly
processing date, the guarantee period ends, and thus the guaranteed minimum
death benefit lapses.
The guarantee period ends if your net account value on any monthly processing
date is not diversified as follows:
1. you must invest your net account value in at least five divisions, and
2. you may invest no more than 35% of your net account value in any one
division.
Your policy will continue to meet the diversification requirements if:
1. you have automatic rebalancing and you meet the two diversification
tests listed above; or
2. you have dollar cost averaging which results in transfers into at least
four additional divisions with no more than 35% of any transfer
directed to any one division.
See Dollar Cost Averaging, page 35, and Automatic Rebalancing, page 35.
If you fail to satisfy either the premium test or the diversification test and
you do not correct it, this feature terminates. Once it terminates, you cannot
reinstate the guaranteed minimum death benefit feature. The guaranteed period
annual premium no longer applies.
Additional Benefits
Your policy may include additional benefits, which we attach by rider. A rider
adds benefits to your
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
28
<PAGE>
policy and may or may not add an additional cost to your policy. We deduct a
monthly charge from your account value for each rider you choose. You may cancel
these rider benefits at any time. If you choose any of these benefits your
policy will include the details. Not all riders are available for all policies.
You may schedule your term rider coverage to increase or decrease at issue. If
you want to increase your scheduled benefits after issue of your rider, new
guidelines may apply. Scheduled benefits are the kind and amount of benefits you
choose under your policy over a stated period of time.
Periodically we may offer other riders than those listed here. You should
contact your registered representative for a complete list of the riders now
available.
See Modified endowment contracts, page 57, for information on the possible tax
effects of adding or canceling these benefits.
Adjustable Term Insurance Rider
You may increase your death proceeds by adding an adjustable term insurance
rider. The amount we pay is the term death benefit in force at the time of the
second death of the two people. As the name suggests, the adjustable term
insurance rider adjusts over time.
You specify a target death benefit when you apply for this rider. The target
death benefit can be level or can be scheduled to change at the beginning of any
policy year. We generally restrict your target death benefit to an amount not
more than four times your stated death benefit at issue. Under certain
circumstances, we will be willing to allow you to specify a target death benefit
of up to eight times your stated death benefit during the first four policy
years. After this four-year period, the normal target death benefit maximum
would apply.
The death benefit for the adjustable term insurance rider is the difference
between your total death benefit and your base death benefit. The death benefit
automatically adjusts daily as your base death benefit changes. Total death
benefit depends on which death benefit option is in effect:
Option 1: If option 1 is in effect, the total death benefit is the greater
of:
a. the target death benefit, or
b. The account value multiplied by the appropriate factor
from the death benefit corridor factors in the policy.
Option 2: If option 2 is in effect the total death benefit is the greater
of:
a. the target death benefit plus the account value; or
b. the account value multiplied by the appropriate factor
from the death benefit corridor factors in the policy.
For example, under option 1, assume your base death benefit increases because of
or as a result of an increase in your account value. The adjustable term
insurance rider adjusts to provide death proceeds equal to your total death
benefit in each year:
Base Death Total Death Adjustable Term
Benefit Benefit Insurance Rider
------- ------- Amount
------
201,500 250,000 48,500
202,500 250,000 47,500
202,250 250,000 47,750
It is possible that the amount of your adjustable term insurance may be zero if
your base death benefit increases enough. Using the same example, if the base
death benefit under your policy grew to $250,000, the adjustable term insurance
would be zero.
The adjustable term insurance can never be less than zero. Even when the
adjustable term insurance is reduced to zero, your rider remains in effect until
you remove it from your policy. Therefore, if later the base death benefit is
reduced below your target death benefit, the adjustable term insurance rider
amount reappears to maintain the total death benefit.
You may change the target death benefit schedule after it is issued, based on
our rules. See Changes in Death Benefit Amounts, page 26.
We may deny any future, scheduled increases to your target death benefit if you
cancel a scheduled change, or if you ask for an unscheduled decrease in your
target death benefit.
Partial withdrawals, changes from death benefit option 1 to death benefit option
2, and base decreases
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor

<PAGE>
may reduce the amount of your target death benefit. See Partial Withdrawals,
page 37 and Changes in Death Benefit Option, page 23.
There is no defined premium for a given amount of adjustable term insurance
coverage. Instead, we deduct a monthly cost of insurance charge from your
account value. The cost of insurance for this rider is calculated as the monthly
cost of insurance rate for rider coverage multiplied by the adjustable term
death benefit in effect that month. The cost of insurance rates will be
determined by us from time to time. They will be based on the issue ages,
genders and premium classes of the insureds, as well as the length of time since
your policy date. The monthly guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for
this rider will be in the policy. See Cost of Insurance Charges, page 50.
There are no sales or surrender charges for this coverage. This means that an
increase in your target death benefit which does not increase your stated death
benefit does not increase the total surrender charge for your policy. Further, a
decrease in your adjustable term insurance rider coverage does not cause a
surrender charge to be assessed. If the target death benefit schedule is
increased by you after the rider is issued, we use the same rates for the entire
coverage for this rider. These rates are based on the original premium classes
even though satisfactory new evidence of insurability is given to us for the
increased schedule.
Single Life Term Rider
This rider provides a benefit upon the death of one of the primary insured
people under your policy. You may choose to add a single life term rider to just
one insured person; or, you may add two single life term riders: one for each
insured person under your policy. You may add this rider when your policy is
issued or at a later time. The insured person must be insurable according to our
rules.
We will issue the single life term rider for an insured person who is age 85 or
younger. Coverage may continue under this rider until the earlier of when:
o the insured person covered by this rider reaches age 100;
o the continuation of coverage provision becomes effective; and
o the insured person covered by this rider dies. See Continuation of
Coverage, page 31.
The minimum amount of coverage for each single life term rider is $1,000. The
maximum coverage for an insured person under this rider is subject to our
underwriting determinations. We can schedule the death benefit for your single
life term rider when we issue it. You may increase or decrease coverage under
this rider.
Your request for an increase or decrease in coverage is effective as of the next
monthly processing date after we approve your request, unless there are
underwriting or other requirements which must be met before your request is
effective. Any requested change in your coverage must be for at least $1,000. If
you schedule or request an increase after issue, the insured person under this
rider will again be subject to our underwriting requirements. The charge for
this rider is based on the age, gender, premium class, and underwriting
characteristics of the insured person covered by this rider.
The charge for this rider is deducted on each monthly processing date. It is
charged as a cost per each $1,000 of the net amount at risk under this rider.
See the schedule pages attached to your policy for information on your actual
cost. There are no surrender charges for decreases in the amount of coverage
under the single life term rider.
Special Features
Policy Maturity
You can surrender your policy at anytime. However, at the younger insured
person's 100th birth date, if you do not want the continuation of coverage
feature, you should surrender the policy, otherwise continuation of coverage
will become effective. Your policy then ends. Some part of this payment may be
taxable. You should consult your tax adviser.
Policy Split Option
Under certain circumstances, you may exchange your policy for a single life
insurance policy on each person insured under your policy. You do not need to
provide evidence of insurability on either insured person to make this exchange
if there is no overall increase in death benefit amounts, and neither single
life policy coverage is greater than 50% of the original death benefit.
On the effective date of the exchange, the available
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
30
<PAGE>
death benefit under your policy will be divided between the two single life
insurance policies. The maximum amount you may allocate to each single life
policy without underwriting is 50% of your available death benefit amount. The
sum of the face amounts for the two single life insurance policies may not be
more than the total death benefit amount under your original policy. You are not
required to use the maximum death benefit amount available for either insured
person.
You may split your policy to provide coverage of more than 50% of the total
death benefit under your original policy for one insured person. To do so, you
must provide proof that the insured person is insurable at the time of the
policy split. For coverage of 50% or less of the total death benefit under your
original policy, you do not need to provide proof of insurability.
You may use the policy split option if:
a) there is a final divorce decree regarding the marriage of the two
insured people;
b) there is a change to the federal estate tax law which results in
either:
i) removal of the unlimited marital deduction provision; or
ii) a reduction in the current maximum federal estate tax of at least
a 50% reduction after your policy date; or
c) there is a dissolution of business carried on or owned by the two
insured people.
You must send us written notice of your election to split your policy under the
policy split option within 180 days of the occurrence of these stated events.
You must provide satisfactory evidence that the contingent event has occurred.
The effective date of the exchange is the first monthly processing date after we
have approved your policy exchange. The insurance under the two individual life
insurance policies will start on the effective date of your exchange only if
both insured people are alive on that date. The new single life insurance
policies will not provide insurance coverage until that time. If either insured
person is not alive on that date, your exchange is void.
All terms and conditions under the new policies apply once your policy is split.
Consult your new single life insurance policies upon split.
The premiums under each new policy will be based on each insured person's age,
gender and premium class at the time of the split of your policy. Premiums will
be due for each new policy under the terms of the new policy as of the effective
date of the exchange. The surrender value of the old policies will be allocated
to the new policies on the effective date of the exchange in the same proportion
that the face amount was divided between the two single life insurance policies,
unless we agree to a different allocation. If this allocation would cause an
increase in the face amount of either new single life insurance policy, we may
limit the amount of surrender value you may apply to each new policy. Any
remaining surrender value will be paid to you in cash, and may be taxable.
Any loan on your policy will be divided and transferred to each new single life
insurance policy in the same proportion as your cash value is allocated. Any
remaining outstanding loan balance must be paid in cash before the effective
date of the exchange. Any person or entity to which you have assigned your
policy must agree to the exchange. Any assignment of your policy will apply to
each new single life insurance policy.
If you have a single life term insurance rider on your policy at the date of the
policy split, you may have a term insurance rider insuring the same insured
person if such a rider is available on the new policy. Any other riders on new
policies are subject to the availability of the riders under the new policy and
new proof of insurability of the insured people.
Your right to split your policy into two single life insurance policies ends on
the earliest of:
a) the policy anniversary nearest the younger insured person's 100th birth
date; or
b) the first death of the insured people;
c) the end of your policy grace period; or
d) the termination or surrender of your policy.
Exercising the policy split option may be treated as a taxable transaction.
Moreover, the two single life insurance policies that result from a policy split
could be treated as a Modified endowment contract. See Tax Considerations, page
54. You should consult a tax adviser when exercising the policy split option.
Right to Exchange Policy
During the first 24 months after your policy date, you have the right to
exchange your policy to a guaranteed policy, unless state law requires
differently. To do this, we transfer the amount you have in the variable
divisions to the guaranteed
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor

<PAGE>
interest division. We allocate all of your future net premiums only to the
guaranteed interest division. We do not allow any future payments or transfers
to the variable divisions when you exercise this right.
We will not charge you for the transfer to make this exchange. See The
Guaranteed Interest Division, page 18.
Continuation of Coverage
The continuation of coverage feature allows insurance coverage to continue in
force beyond the younger insured person's 100th birth date. If you choose to
allow the continuation of coverage feature to become effective, we:
o transfer your net account value (excluding the amount in the loan
division) into the guaranteed interest division;
o charge a one-time $400 administrative fee to your policy to cover
future expenses;
o terminate all riders;
o convert death benefit option 2 to death benefit option 1, if
applicable; and
o terminate investment features such as dollar cost averaging and
automatic rebalancing.
At the younger insured person's 100th birth date, if you have then in effect, an
adjustable term insurance rider, the target death benefit becomes the stated
death benefit. The adjustable term insurance rider then terminates. If you have
no adjustable term insurance rider coverage, your stated death benefit is
unchanged. You may make no further premium payments.
Your insurance coverage continues in force until the second death of the insured
people, unless the policy lapses or is surrendered. However, we deduct no
further cost of insurance charges. Your monthly deductions also cease when
continuation of coverage begins. See Continuation of Coverage Administrative
Fee, page 50.
Your net account value may not be transferred into the variable divisions after
the younger insured person's 100th birth date.
During the continuation of coverage period, you may take policy loans or partial
withdrawals from your policy. If we are paying a persistency refund on the
guaranteed interest division, and your policy is in the continuation of coverage
period, we credit you with the persistency refund. See Persistency Refund, page
51.
If you have outstanding policy loans, interest continues to accrue. If you fail
to make any loan payments or loan interest payments, it is possible that the
loan plus accrued interest may become greater than your account value and cause
your policy to lapse. To avoid this, you may repay loans and make loan interest
payments during the continuation of coverage period. However, we will not accept
any additional premium payments.
If you wish to stop coverage after the continuation of coverage feature begins,
you may surrender your policy and receive the net account value. There is no
surrender charge after the younger insured person's 100th birth date. All normal
consequences apply. See Surrender, page 41, and Surrender Charge, page 51.
The continuation of coverage feature may not be available in all states. If a
state has approved this feature, it is an automatic feature and you do not need
to take any action to activate it.
The tax consequences of coverage continuing beyond the younger insured's
person's 100th birth date are uncertain. You should consult a tax adviser as to
those consequences.
Policy Values
Account Value
Your account value is the total amount you have in the guaranteed interest
division, the variable division, and the loan division. Your account value
reflects:
o net premiums;
o deductions for charges;
o partial withdrawals;
o investment performance of the variable divisions;
o interest earned on the amount you have in the guaranteed interest
division; and
o interest earned and charged on the amounts you have in the loan
division.
Net Account Value
Your policy's net account value is your account value minus the amount of your
outstanding policy loans (including accrued loan interest).
Cash Surrender Value
Your cash surrender value is your account value minus any surrender charge.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
32
<PAGE>
Net Cash Surrender Value
Your net cash surrender value is your cash surrender value minus the amount of
your outstanding policy loans, including accrued loan interest.
Determining the Value in the Variable Divisions
The amounts included in the variable divisions are measured by accumulation
units and accumulation unit values.
On any given day, the value of a variable division is the accumulation unit
value for that division times the number of accumulation units you own in that
division. Each variable division has a different accumulation unit value.
You purchase accumulation units of a division whenever you allocate premium or
make transfers to that division. This includes transfers from the loan division.
We redeem accumulation units from the variable divisions:
o when you take a partial withdrawal;
o when amounts are transferred from a variable division (including
transfers to the loan division);
o for the monthly deductions from your account value;
o for policy transaction charges;
o for surrender charges;
o on surrender; and
o to pay the death benefit upon the second death of the insured people.
We calculate the number of variable division accumulation units purchased or
redeemed as of any valuation date by:
1. dividing the dollar amount of your transaction by:
2. the division's accumulation unit value calculated at the close of
business on the valuation date of the transaction.
The accumulation unit value is the value of an accumulation unit determined as
of each valuation date. The accumulation unit value of each division varies with
the investment performance of the matching portfolio. It reflects:
o investment income;
o realized and unrealized capital gains and losses;
o investment portfolio expenses; and
o daily mortality and expense risk charges we make to the variable
account.
See How We Calculate Accumulation Unit Values for Each Division, page 33.
The date of a transaction is the valuation date we receive your premium or an
acceptable request at our customer service center.
If your premium or request reaches our customer service center on a day that is
not a valuation date, or after the close of business on a valuation date, the
transaction is processed on the next valuation date; otherwise, your transaction
is processed on the valuation date.
We take monthly deductions from your account value as of the monthly processing
date. If your monthly processing date is not a valuation date, the monthly
deduction is processed on the next valuation date. We take transaction charges
or surrender charges as of the effective date of your transaction.
The value of amounts allocated to the variable divisions goes up or down
depending on investment performance.
For amounts in the variable divisions, there is no guaranteed minimum cash
value.
How We Calculate Accumulation Unit Values for Each Division
We determine accumulation unit values for the variable divisions on each
valuation date. We perform all policy transactions as of a valuation date.
We generally set the accumulation unit value for a division at $10 on the date
when the division is first opened and begins accepting amounts. After that, the
accumulation unit value on any valuation date is:
1. the accumulation unit value for the preceding valuation date multiplied
by
2. the accumulation experience factor for that division for the valuation
period.
Every valuation period begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on a valuation date and
ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next valuation date.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
33
<PAGE>
We calculate an accumulation experience factor for each division every valuation
date as follows:
1. We take the share value of the underlying portfolio shares in the
division as reported to us by the investment portfolio managers as of
the close of business on that valuation date.
2. We add dividends or capital gain distributions declared per share and
reinvested by the investment portfolio on the date that the share value
is affected. If applicable, we subtract a charge for taxes from this
amount.
3. We divide the remaining amount by the value of the shares in the
underlying investment portfolio for the variable division at the close
of business on the previous valuation date.
4. We then subtract a charge for the mortality and expense risk which we
assume under your policy. The daily charge is .002055% of the
accumulation unit value. This is an annual rate of .75% of the
accumulation unit value. If the previous day was not a valuation date,
the charge is multiplied by the number of days between the two
valuation dates.
The result of these calculations is the accumulation experience factor for the
valuation period.
Transfers of Account Value
You may make up to twelve free transfers among the variable divisions, or the
guaranteed interest division, in each policy year. We do not limit your number
of transfers, but we charge a $25 fee for each transfer that you make after the
first twelve in each policy year. We do not include transfers for automatic
rebalancing or dollar cost averaging toward your twelve free transfers.
You may make transfer requests in writing, or by telephone if you have telephone
privileges, to our customer service center. Your transfer takes effect on the
valuation date we receive your request. The minimum amount you may transfer is
$100. This minimum does not need to come from one division or be transferred to
one division as long as the total amount you transfer is at least $100. However,
if the amount remaining in a variable division is less than $100 when you make a
transfer request, we transfer the entire amount out of that division.
If you elect telephone privileges, you may make transfers by calling our
customer service center. You may not make transfers during the continuation of
coverage period. See Telephone Privileges, page 44.
Excessive Trading
Excessive trading activity can disrupt investment portfolio management
strategies and increase portfolio expenses. Thus, we limit excessive transfer
activity.
Excessive transfers may cause:
o increased trading and transaction costs;
o disruption of planned investment strategies;
o forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
o lost opportunity costs; and
o the investment portfolios to have large asset swings that decrease
their ability to provide maximum investment return to all policyowners.
In response to excessive trading, we may place restrictions or refuse transfers
made by third-party agents acting on behalf of owners such as a market timing
service. We will refuse or place restrictions on transfers when we determine, in
our sole discretion, that transfers are harmful to the investment portfolios, or
to policyowners as a whole.
Guaranteed Interest Division Transfers
You may transfer from the guaranteed interest division only in the first 30 days
of each policy year. Transfer requests received within 30 days before your
policy anniversary are deemed to occur on your policy anniversary. Transfer
requests made at any other time will not be processed.
Transfers from the guaranteed interest division are limited to the largest of:
o 25% of your guaranteed interest division balance at the time of your
first transfer or withdrawal out of it in that policy year;
o the sum of the amounts you have transferred and withdrawn from the
guaranteed interest division in the prior policy year; or
o $100.
Transfers of your account value into the guaranteed interest division are not
restricted.

Dollar Cost Averaging
If your policy has at least $10,000 invested in either the Fidelity VIP Money
Market Portfolio, or the Neuberger Berman AMT Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio,
you can elect dollar cost averaging. The main goal of dollar cost averaging is
to protect your policy values from short-term price changes.
Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a
loss in a declining market.
This systematic plan of transferring account values is intended to reduce the
risk of investing too much when the price of an investment portfolio's shares is
high. It also reduces the risk of investing too little when the price of an
investment portfolio's shares is low.
Since you transfer the same dollar amount to other divisions each period, you
purchase more units in a division if the unit value is low, and you purchase
fewer units if the unit value is high.
You may add dollar cost averaging to your policy at any time. The first dollar
cost averaging date must be at least five days after we receive your dollar cost
averaging request. Dollar cost averaging cannot begin before the end of your
free look period.
With dollar cost averaging, you designate either a dollar amount, or a
percentage of your account value, for automatic transfer from either the
division invested in either the Fidelity VIP Money Market Portfolio or the
Neuberger Berman AMT Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio for automatic transfer.
Each period, we automatically transfer the amount you select from your chosen
source division to one or more other variable divisions. You may not make
transfers to or from the guaranteed interest division or the loan division under
dollar cost averaging.
The minimum percentage you may transfer to any one division is 1% of the total
amount you transfer to all divisions you select. You must transfer at least $100
for each dollar cost averaging transfer.
Dollar cost averaging may occur on the same day of the month either monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Unless you tell us otherwise, dollar cost
averaging automatically takes place monthly, on the monthly processing date.
We do not count dollar cost averaging transfers toward your twelve free
transfers per policy year. There is no charge for this feature.
You may have both dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing at the same
time. The dollar cost averaging division from which your transfer will be taken
cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing program.
Changing Dollar Cost Averaging
You may change your dollar cost averaging program one time per policy year. If
you have telephone privileges, you may make changes to the dollar cost averaging
program by telephoning our customer service center. See Telephone Privileges,
page 44.
Terminating Dollar Cost Averaging
You may cancel dollar cost averaging by sending satisfactory notice to our
customer service center. We must receive it at least five days before the next
dollar cost averaging date.
Dollar cost averaging will terminate if:
1. you specify a termination date; or
2. your balance remaining in the division from which your dollar cost
averaging transfers are taken reaches a dollar amount you set; or
3. on any dollar cost averaging date, the amount in the division from
which you want to make a transfer is equal to or less than the amount
to be transferred. We will transfer the remaining amount and dollar
cost averaging ends.
Automatic Rebalancing
Automatic rebalancing provides you with a method for maintaining a consistent
approach to investing account values over time, and simplifying the process of
asset allocation (allocating amounts among the investment options you have
chosen.)
Transfers made for automatic rebalancing do not count toward your twelve free
transfers per policy year. There is no charge for this feature.
If you choose this feature, on each rebalancing date we transfer amounts among
the divisions to match
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
35
<PAGE>
your pre-set automatic rebalancing allocation percentages. After the transfers,
the ratio of your account value in each division to your total account value for
all divisions included in automatic rebalancing matches the automatic
rebalancing allocation percentage for that division. This action rebalances the
amounts in the investment divisions that do not match your set allocation. This
happens if an investment division outperforms other divisions for that time
period.
You may choose the automatic rebalancing feature on your application or later by
completing our customer service form. Automatic rebalancing may occur on the
same day of the month either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. If
you do not specify, automatic rebalancing will occur quarterly.
If you choose automatic rebalancing on your policy application, the first
transfer occurs on the date you select (after your free look period). If you
elect this feature after your policy date, we process the first transaction on
the date you have requested. If you requested no date, processing is on the last
valuation date of the calendar quarter we receive your notice at our customer
service center.
When you choose automatic rebalancing allocations, you may choose up to eighteen
total investment divisions. See Maximum Number of Investment Divisions, page 19.
You may have both automatic rebalancing and dollar cost averaging at the same
time. The division from which your dollar cost averaging transfers are taken
cannot be included in your automatic rebalancing allocating program. You may not
include the loan division in your automatic rebalancing allocations.
Changing Automatic Rebalancing
You may change your allocation percentages for automatic rebalancing at any
time. Your allocation change is effective on the valuation date that we receive
it at our customer service center. If you reduce the amount allocated to the
guaranteed interest division, it is considered a transfer from that division.
You must meet the requirements for the maximum transfer amount and time
limitations on transfers from the guaranteed interest division. See Transfers of
Account Values on page 34.
If you have automatic rebalancing and the guaranteed minimum death benefit
features and you ask for an allocation which does not meet the guaranteed
minimum death benefit diversification requirements, we will notify you that the
allocation needs to be changed and ask you for revised instructions.
Terminating Automatic Rebalancing
You may terminate automatic rebalancing at any time, as long as we receive your
notice of termination at least five days before the next automatic rebalancing
date. If you have the guaranteed minimum death benefit and you terminate the
automatic rebalancing feature, you still must meet the diversification
requirements of your net account value for the guarantee period to continue. See
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, page 27.
Policy Loans
You may borrow against your policy at any time after the first monthly
processing date, by using your policy as security for a loan. The amount you
borrow is called a policy loan. Your policy loan is:
1. the total amount you borrow from your policy; plus
2. any policy loan interest that is capitalized when due; minus
3. policy loan repayments you make.
Unless state law requires differently, any new policy loan you take must be at
least $100. The maximum amount you can borrow on any valuation date, unless
required differently by state law, is your net cash surrender value minus the
monthly deductions to your next policy anniversary.
Your request for a policy loan must be directed to our customer service center.
If you have telephone privileges, you may request a policy loan for less than
$25,000 by telephoning our customer service center. See Telephone Privileges,
page 44.
Based on our administrative system, we may have other rules for policy loans.
For example, we may require that your loan request be for a dollar amount rather
than a percentage to be taken from a specific division.
Loan interest charges on your policy loan accrue daily at an annual interest
rate of 3.75%. Interest is due in arrears on each policy anniversary. If you do
not pay your interest when it is due, we add it to your
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
36
<PAGE>
policy loan on your policy anniversary.
If you request an additional loan, we add the amount you request to your
existing outstanding policy loan. This way, there is only one loan outstanding
on your policy at any time.
You may repay all or part of your policy loan at any time while your policy is
in force. We assume that any payments you make, other than your scheduled
premiums, are policy loan repayments. You must tell us otherwise if you want us
to consider additional payments as premiums.
When you request a loan you may specify one investment division from which the
loan will be taken. If you do not specify one, the loan will be taken
proportionately from each active investment division you have.
When you take a policy loan, we transfer an amount equal to your policy loan
amount from the variable and the guaranteed interest divisions in the same
proportion they represent of your total net account value to the loan division.
We follow this same process for loan interest in the amount due at your policy
anniversary. We credit the loan division with interest at an annual rate of
3.0%. After your tenth policy year, the loan division is credited with a
persistency refund at an annual rate of 0.60%.
The loan division is part of our general account, separate from the guaranteed
interest division. When we make transfers to the loan division, we redeem
sufficient units of the variable divisions to cover the amount of the loan which
you take from the variable account. Unless you tell us otherwise, we deduct the
amount transferred from each division in the same proportion that your account
value in that division has to your net account value immediately before the loan
transaction. We determine the amounts in each division as of the valuation date
when we receive your loan request.
Any policy loans you take may have tax consequences. See Distributions Other
than Death Benefits from Modified endowment contracts, page 58, and
Distributions Other than Death Benefits from Policies that are not Modified
Endowment Contracts, page 58.
Loan Repayment
We transfer the amount of interest credited to the loan division for a policy
year from the loan division on your policy anniversary. When you make a loan
repayment, we transfer an amount equal to your repayment from the loan division
up to the amount of your policy loan. Unless you tell us otherwise, we allocate
these transfers among the variable divisions and the guaranteed interest
division in the same proportion as your current premium allocation.
Loans and Your Benefits
Taking a loan decreases the amount you have in the variable divisions. Accruing
loan interest will change your net account value as compared to what it would
have been if you did not take a loan.
Even if you repay your loan, it has a permanent effect on your account value.
This means that the benefits under your policy may be affected.
The loan is a first lien on your policy. This means we deduct your outstanding
policy loan and accrued loan interest from the death benefit payable and the
cash surrender value payable on surrender.
Failure to repay your loan may affect the guaranteed minimum death benefit
feature and the length of time your policy remains in force. The policy lapses
(for exceptions, see Special Continuation Period, page 21 and Guaranteed Minimum
Death Benefits, page 26) when the cash surrender value minus policy loans and
accrued loan interest is not enough to cover your monthly deductions. If your
policy lapses with a loan outstanding, you may have adverse tax consequences.
If you use the continuation of coverage feature and you have a policy loan, loan
interest continues to accrue. If you do not make loan payments your policy could
lapse.
If you do not repay your policy loan, we deduct the outstanding policy loan
amount and accrued loan interest from the death benefits payable, or the cash
surrender value payable upon surrender.
Partial Withdrawals
You may request a partial withdrawal on any monthly processing date after your
first policy anniversary by contacting our customer service center. If you have
telephone privileges, you may request partial withdrawals by telephone, but the
partial withdrawal must be for an amount no more than $25,000. See Telephone
Privileges, page 44.
You may take only one partial withdrawal per policy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
37
<PAGE>
year. We may set rules on partial withdrawals, based on our administrative
system. For example, we may require that you specify a dollar amount rather than
a percentage to be taken from a specific division.
The minimum partial withdrawal you may take is $100. The maximum partial
withdrawal you may take is the amount which leaves $500 as your net cash
surrender value. If you request a withdrawal of more than this maximum, we
require you to surrender your policy. When you take a partial withdrawal, we
deduct your withdrawal amount plus a service fee from your account value. If
applicable, we deduct a surrender charge from your account value if your partial
withdrawal causes a reduction in your stated death benefit. See Charges,
Deductions and Refunds, page 48.
Partial withdrawals may have adverse tax consequences. See Modified Endowment
Contracts, page 57.
Partial Withdrawals under Death Benefit Option 1
If you selected death benefit option 1, and if no more than fifteen years have
passed since your policy date and the joint equivalent age of the insured people
is not yet age 81, you may make a partial withdrawal of up to the greater of 10%
of your account value, or 5% of your stated death benefit without decreasing the
stated death benefit.
Any additional amounts you withdraw will reduce your stated death benefit by the
amount of the withdrawal.
Partial Withdrawals Under Death Benefit Option 2
If you have selected death benefit option 2, a partial withdrawal does not
reduce your stated death benefit or target death benefit. However, we reduce the
total death benefit by at least the partial withdrawal amount because your
account value is reduced.
Stated Death Benefit and Target Death Benefit Reductions
Generally, we reduce the stated death benefit by the amount of the partial
withdrawal. A partial withdrawal may reduce your target death benefit.
Partial withdrawals do not reduce the stated death benefit if your base death
benefit has been increased to qualify your policy as life insurance under the
federal income tax laws, if you withdraw an amount that is no greater than the
amount that reduces your account value to a level which no longer requires your
base death benefit to be increased to qualify as life insurance for federal
income tax law purposes. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 56.
We require a minimum stated death benefit and a minimum target death benefit to
issue your policy. You are not allowed to take a partial withdrawal if it
reduces your stated death benefit or target death benefit below this minimum.
See Group or Sponsored Arrangements or Corporate Purchasers, page 56.
Partial Withdrawal Mechanics
Unless you tell us otherwise, we will make a partial withdrawal from the
guaranteed interest division and the variable divisions in the same proportion
that each division has to your net account value immediately before your
withdrawal. The amount withdrawn from the guaranteed interest division may not
be for more than your total withdrawals multiplied by the ratio of your account
value in the guaranteed interest division to your total net account value
immediately before the partial withdrawal transaction.
We will send a new schedule page for your policy showing the effect of your
withdrawal if there is any change to your stated death benefit or your target
death benefit.
To make this change, we may ask that you return the policy to our customer
service center. Your withdrawal and any reductions in the death benefits are
effective as of the valuation date on which we receive your request. See
Distributions Other than Death Benefits from Modified Endowment Contracts, page
58, and Distributions Other than Death Benefits from Policies that are not
Modified Endowment Contracts, page 58.
Lapse
Your insurance coverage continues as long as your net cash surrender value is
enough to pay all deductions each month. Lapse does not apply if the special
continuation period is in effect and you have met all requirements. See Special
Continuation Period, page 21.
If the continuation of coverage feature is active, the policy could lapse even
though there are no further
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor

<PAGE>
monthly deductions. If there is an outstanding policy loan, your policy will
lapse if the loan plus the accrued interest owed is more than the account value.
Grace Period
Your policy enters the 61-day lapse grace period if, on a monthly processing
date:
1. your net cash surrender value is zero (or less); and
2. the five-year special continuation period has expired, or you have not
paid the required special continuation period premium; and
3. you do not have the guaranteed minimum death benefit rider or it has
expired or terminated.
We notify you that the policy is in a grace period at least 30 days before the
grace period ends. We provide this notice to you, or a person to whom you have
assigned your policy, at the last address in our records. We also notify you of
the required premium payment necessary to reinstate your policy. This amount is
generally the amount of past due charges, plus the amount that covers your
estimated monthly policy and rider deductions for the next two months. If the
second death of the insured people occurs during the grace period, we will
deduct overdue monthly charges from your policy's death proceeds.
If we receive your payment of the required amount before the end of the grace
period, we apply it to your account value in the same manner as your other
premium payments, then we make the overdue deductions from your account balance.
If you do not pay the full amount we request within the 61-day grace period,
your policy and all of its riders lapse without value. We then withdraw your
remaining account balance from the variable divisions and the guaranteed
interest division. We deduct amounts which you owe us, including any surrender
charge and inform you that the policy has ended.
If the second death of the insured people occurs during the grace period, we pay
death proceeds to your beneficiary(ies) with reductions for policy loans,
accrued loan interest, and monthly deductions owed.
If You Have the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit in Effect
After the special continuation period has ended, and if the guaranteed minimum
death benefit is in effect, your policy's stated death benefit will not lapse
during the guarantee period. This is true even if your net cash surrender value
is not enough to cover all of the deductions from your account value on any
monthly processing date. See Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider, page 27.
The guaranteed minimum death benefit does not protect benefits you may have
under riders attached to your policy. Nor does it protect any amount of the base
death benefit which is more than the stated death benefit. These benefits lapse
if on any monthly processing date, your policy net cash surrender value is not
enough to pay all monthly deductions from your account value (unless your policy
is in the five-year special continuation period and your account value is more
than the interest owing on your loan).
While the guaranteed minimum death benefit applies, we reduce your account value
by monthly deductions, but not below zero. We permanently waive monthly
deductions during the guarantee period which would reduce your account value
below zero.
The guaranteed minimum death benefit terminates if your policy does not meet the
monthly premium or diversification tests. If your guaranteed minimum death
benefit terminates, the normal test for lapse then resumes. See Requirements to
Maintain the Guarantee Period, page 28.

Reinstatement
If you do not pay enough premium before the end of the grace period, your policy
lapses. You may still reinstate your policy and its riders (other than the
guaranteed minimum death benefit) within five years after the grace period ends.
Unless state law requires differently, we will reinstate your policy and riders
if:
1. you have not surrendered your policy for its net cash surrender value;
2. you provide satisfactory evidence to us that both insured people are
alive and that each insured person (and any people insured under your
riders) is still insurable according to our normal rules of
underwriting for your type of policy; and
3. we receive enough premium from you to keep your policy and its riders
in force from the beginning to the end of the grace period and for two
months after the reinstatement date.
If one insured person has either died or has become uninsurable since your
policy date, when your policy lapses, we will not reinstate your policy. If one
insured person was uninsurable at the issue of your policy and remains
uninsurable, we will review underwriting requirements applicable to each insured
person at the time of reinstatement to determine whether your policy may be
reinstated. Each surviving insured person may apply for individual insurance
coverage at that point with proof of insurability.
Reinstatement is effective as of the monthly processing date following our
approval of your reinstatement application. When we reinstate your policy, we
also reinstate the surrender charges for the amount and time remaining when your
policy lapsed. If you had a policy loan when coverage ended, we reinstate it
with accrued loan interest to the date of lapse. The cost of insurance charges
in effect at the time of reinstatement for the age of each insured person are
adjusted to reflect the time since the lapse.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>
We apply the net premiums received after reinstatement according to the premium
allocation instructions in effect at the start of the grace period, unless you
tell us otherwise.
Surrender
You may surrender your policy for its net cash surrender value any time before
the second death of the insured people. You do this by sending a written request
and your policy to our customer service center.
Your policy net cash surrender value is your cash surrender value, minus policy
loans you have taken including accrued loan interest.
We compute your net cash surrender value as of the valuation date we receive
your surrender request and policy at our customer service center. All insurance
coverage ends on that date.
We do not pro-rate or add back charges and expenses deducted from your account
value on the monthly anniversary before the date your surrender is processed. If
you surrender your policy during the first nine policy years or segment years we
deduct a surrender charge from your net account value. See Surrender Charge,
page 51.
A surrender of your policy may have adverse tax consequences. See Distributions
Other than Death Benefits from Modified Endowment Contracts, page 58, and
Distributions Other than Death Benefits from Policies that are not Modified
Endowment Contracts, page 58.
General Policy Provisions
Free Look Period or Right to Examine Policy Period
You have the right to examine your policy. If for any reason you do not want it,
you may return your policy to us or your registered representative within the
period shown in the policy. If you return your policy to us within your state's
specified time limit, we will consider it canceled as of your policy date.
If you cancel your policy during this free look period, you will receive a
refund as determined under state law.
Generally, there are two types of free look refunds. Some states require a
return of all premiums paid while others permit payment of the account value
plus a refund of all charges deducted. Your policy will specify what free look
refund applies in your state. The type of free look refund allowed in your state
will affect when your initial net premium is invested into the variable
divisions you selected.
That portion of your initial net premium that you have allocated to the variable
divisions will be held in the division investing in the Fidelity Money Market
Portfolio for 15 days after we issue your policy (five days deemed delivery time
plus a typical free look period of 10 days) if:
o you made a premium payment before we issued your policy;
o you have provided all information and documents we have requested; and
o your state requires us to return your premiums paid if you cancel your
policy during the free look period.
At the end of 15 days, your account value will be allocated among your chosen
variable divisions, based on your most recent premium allocation instructions.
That portion of your initial net premium that you have allocated to the variable
divisions will be invested according to your most recent premium allocation
instructions on the date we issue your policy if:
o you made a premium payment before we issued your policy;
o you have provided all information and documents we have requested; and
o your state permits us to return the account value plus a refund of all
charges deducted.
Amounts you allocated to the guaranteed interest division will be invested into
that division when we issue your policy if you have made a premium payment and
have no outstanding information or document requests from us. Once we have
applied your net premium to your selected investment divisions, you may transfer
funds between divisions and activate policy investment features such as
automatic rebalancing or dollar cost averaging.
Your Policy
The entire contract between you and us is the
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
41
<PAGE>
combination of:
o your policy;
o a copy of your original application and any applications for benefit
increases or decreases;
o all of your riders;
o endorsements;
o schedule pages; and
o reinstatement applications.
If you make a change to your coverage, we give you a copy of your change
application and new schedules. If you sent us your policy, we attach these items
to your policy and return it to you. Otherwise, you need to attach them to your
policy.
Unless there is fraud, we consider all statements made in an application to be
representations and not guarantees. We use no statement to deny a claim, unless
it is in an application.
A president or an officer of our company and our secretary or assistant
secretary must sign all changes or amendments we make to your policy. No other
person may change the terms or conditions of your policy.
Age
We issue your policy at the joint equivalent age of the insured people stated in
your policy schedule. The joint equivalent age of the insured people is based on
the sum of both insured people's ages adjusted for the difference in ages and
gender, divided by two and rounded up.
The younger insured person's 100th birth date is the 100th anniversary of the
younger insured person's birth regardless if he/she has survived. The policy
anniversary nearest to this date is the date used for policy purposes.
The insured people must each be less than 90 years of age at policy issue. The
maximum joint equivalent age of the insured people must be no more than 85.
There is no limit to the difference in the insured people's ages. Age is
measured as the age of the insured person on the birth date nearest the policy
anniversary.
To process joint life insurance, we use the joint equivalent age to calculate
rates, charges and values. We determine the joint equivalent age at any given
time by adding the number of completed policy years to the age calculated at
issue and shown in the schedule.
Ownership
The original owner is the person named as the owner in the policy application.
The owner can exercise all rights and receive the benefits until the second
death of the insured people. This includes the right to change the owner,
beneficiaries, or method to pay proceeds.
As a matter of law, all rights of ownership are limited by the rights of any
person who has been assigned rights under the policy, and any irrevocable
beneficiary(ies).
You may name a new owner by giving us written notice. The effective date of the
change to the new owner is the date the prior owner signs the notice. However,
we will not be liable for any action we take before a change is recorded at our
customer service center. A change in ownership may cause the prior owner to
recognize taxable income on gain under the policy.
Beneficiary(ies)
You, as owner, name the beneficiary(ies) when you apply for your policy. The
primary beneficiary(ies) who survives both of the insured people receives the
death proceeds. Other surviving beneficiary(ies) receive death proceeds only if
there is no surviving primary beneficiary(ies). If more than one
beneficiary(ies) survives both insured people, they share the death proceeds
equally, unless you have told us otherwise. If none of your policy beneficiaries
has survived both insured people, we pay the death proceeds to you or to your
estate, as owner.
Once you tell us who the beneficiary(ies) is/are, we keep this information on
file. You may name a new beneficiary(ies) any time before the second death of
the insured people. We pay the death proceeds to the most recent
beneficiary(ies) whom you have named. We do not make multiple payments.
Collateral Assignment
You may assign your policy as security by sending written notice to us. After we
record the assignment, your rights as owner and the beneficiary's(ies') rights
(unless the beneficiary(ies) were made an irrevocable beneficiary(ies) under an
earlier assignment) are subject to the assignment. It is your responsibility to
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
42
<PAGE>
make sure the assignment is valid.
Incontestability
After your policy has been in force while both insured people are alive for two
years from your policy date, we will not question the validity of the statements
in your application. After your policy has been in force while both insured
people are alive for two years from the effective date of any new segment or
from the effective date of an increase in any other benefit, we will not contest
the statements in your application for the new segment or other increase.
After this policy has been in force while both insured people are alive for two
years from the effective date of any reinstatement, we will not contest the
statements in your application for reinstatement.
Misstatements of Age or Gender
If either insured person's age or gender has been misstated, we adjust the death
benefit. We adjust death benefits to the amount which would have been purchased
for each insured person's correct age and gender. We base the adjusted death
benefit on the cost of insurance charges deducted from your account value on the
last monthly processing date before the second death of the insured people, or
as otherwise required by state law.
Suicide
If the first death of the insured people is due to suicide, while that insured
person is sane or insane, within two years of your policy date or reinstatement
as required by state law, we may re-examine underwriting of the remaining
insured person at that time. If the second death of the insured people is due to
suicide, while that insured person is either sane or insane, within two years of
your policy date or date of reinstatement as required by state law, we limit
death benefits at the second death of the insured people to:
1. the total of all premiums paid to the time of death; minus
2. the amount of outstanding policy loans and accrued loan interest; minus
3. any partial withdrawals you have taken, unless state law requires
otherwise.
We make a limited payment to the beneficiary(ies) for a new segment or other
increase if the second death of the insured people is due to suicide, while that
insured person is sane or insane, within two years of the effective date of a
new segment, within two years of an increase in any other benefit, or as
required by state law. The limited payment we make is the cost of insurance and
monthly expense charges which were deducted for such increase.
Transaction Processing
Generally, within seven days of when we receive all information required to
process a payment, we pay:
o death proceeds;
o net cash surrender value upon surrender;
o partial withdrawals; and
o loan proceeds.
We may delay processing these transactions if:
o the NYSE is closed for trading;
o trading on the NYSE is restricted by the SEC;
o there is an emergency so that it is not reasonably possible to sell
securities in the variable divisions or to determine the value of a
division's assets; or
o a governmental body with jurisdiction over the separate account allows
suspension by its order.
Any SEC rules and regulations that apply determine whether or not these
conditions exist.
We execute transfers among the variable divisions as of the valuation date of
our receipt of your request at our customer service center.
We determine death proceeds as of the date of the second death of the insured
people. The death proceeds are not affected by changes in the value of the
variable divisions after the second death of the insured people. We pay interest
at our stated rate (or at a higher rate if required by law) from the date of the
second death of the insured people to the date of payment.
We may delay payment from our guaranteed interest division for up to six months,
unless state law requires otherwise, of:
o surrender proceeds;
o withdrawal amounts; or
o loan amounts.
We pay interest at our declared rate (or at a higher
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
43
<PAGE>
rate if required by law) from the date we receive the request if we delay
payment more than 30 calendar days.
Notification and Claims Procedures
Except for certain authorized telephone requests, we must receive in writing any
election, designation, change, assignment or request made by the owner.
You must use a form acceptable to us. We are not liable for actions taken before
we receive and record the written notice. We may require you to return your
policy for policy change, or at the time of surrender.
If an insured person dies while your policy is in force, please let us or your
registered representative know as soon as possible. We will immediately send you
instructions on how to make a claim upon the second death of the insured people,
or at either insured person's death if you have a single life term rider. As
proof of a deceased insured person's death, we may require you to provide proof
of the deceased insured person's age, and a certified copy of the deceased
insured person's death certificate.
The beneficiary(ies) and the deceased person's next of kin may need to sign
authorization forms. These forms allow us to get information about the deceased
person. This information may include medical records of doctors and hospitals
used by the deceased person.
Telephone Privileges
You may choose telephone privileges by completing our form. Telephone privileges
allow you to call our customer service center to:
o make transfers;
o change premium allocations;
o change features in your dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing
programs;
o request partial withdrawals; or
o request a policy loan.
Our customer service center uses reasonable procedures to make sure that
instructions received by telephone are genuine. These procedures may include:
1. requiring some form of personal identification;
2. providing written confirmation of transactions; and
3. tape recording telephone calls.
By requesting telephone privileges, you authorize us to record your telephone
calls to us. If we use reasonable procedures to confirm instructions, we are not
liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We may
discontinue this privilege at any time.
Non-participation
Your policy does not participate in the surplus earnings of Security Life.
Distribution of the Policies
The principal underwriter (distributor) for our policies is ING America
Equities, Inc. ING America Equities, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Security Life. It is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and the NASD. We
pay ING America Equities, Inc. for acting as the principal underwriter under a
distribution agreement.
We sell our policies through registered representatives of other broker-dealers
including, but not limited to:
1. VESTAX Securities Corporation, a subsidiary of ING America Insurance
Holdings, Inc.;
2. Locust Street Securities, Inc., an affiliate of Security Life of Denver
Insurance Company; and
3. Multi-Financial Services, Inc., an affiliate of Security Life of Denver
Insurance Company.
4. IFG Network Securities, Inc., a subsidiary of Investors Financial
Group, Inc., which is a subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings,
Inc.
These broker-dealers have entered into selling agreements with us. They are
registered with the SEC and the NASD. State insurance officials also license the
registered representatives to sell our variable life policies.
Under these selling agreements, we pay a distribution
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
44
<PAGE>
allowance to other broker-dealers, who then pay commissions to the registered
representative who sells this policy. The distribution allowance may be up to
90% of the first target premium that you pay. For premiums that you pay over
your first target premium, the distribution allowance may be up to 5% in policy
years one through five, and up to 2% after the fifth policy year.
Broker-dealers may receive annual renewal payments of up to 0.2% of the net
account value in policy years five through twenty.
Compensation arrangements may vary among broker-dealers and depend on particular
circumstances. In addition to the above-described compensation, we may pay:
o override payments;
o expense allowances;
o bonuses;
o special marketing fees;
o wholesaler fees and marketing allowances; and
o training allowances.
Under our sales incentive programs, to the extent permitted by law, registered
representatives who meet set production levels may qualify to receive other
compensation such as:
o expense-paid trips;
o expense-paid educational seminars; and
o merchandise.
We pay the distribution allowance from our own resources which includes sales
charges deducted from premiums and surrender charges.
Settlement Provisions
You may elect to have the beneficiary(ies) receive the death proceeds other than
in one payment. If you make this election, you must do so before the second
death of the insured people. If you have not made this election, the
beneficiary(ies) may do so within 60 days after the second death of the insured
people.
You may take your net cash surrender value in other than one payment.
The investment performance of the variable divisions does not affect payments
under these settlement options. Instead, interest accrues at a fixed rate based
on the option you choose. Payment options are subject to our rules at the time
you make your selection. A periodic payment must be at least $20. Currently,
these alternate payment options are available if the proceeds are $2,000 or
more.
Option I: Payouts for a Designated Period:
Payout payments may be made monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
These payments may last for a period from five to thirty years. The
installment dollar amounts are equal except for any excess
interest. Settlement Option Table I in your policy shows the amount
of the first monthly payout for each $1,000 of account value
applied.
Option II: Life Income with Payouts Guaranteed
for a Designated Period: Payout
payments may be made monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
We make these payments throughout the lifetime of the person
receiving the payment, or if longer for guaranteed periods of five,
ten, fifteen, or twenty years. You may choose the length of time to
receive the guaranteed payments. If you choose a longer guaranteed
period, this will decrease the amount of your periodic payments.
The installment dollar amounts are equal except for any excess
interest. The Settlement Option Table II in your policy shows the
amount of the first monthly payout for each $1,000 of account value
applied. This option is available only for the insured people's
ages shown in this table.
Option III: Hold at Interest: Amounts may be left
on deposit with us to be paid at the death
of the person you choose to receive the
payment, or at a chosen earlier date. We
will pay interest at our declared rate on
any unpaid balance (or at a higher rate if
required by law). You may choose
interest to be accumulated or be paid
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or
annually.
You may not leave money on deposit for more than 30 years.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
45
<PAGE>
Option IV: Payouts of a Designated Amount: Payouts will be made until
proceeds, including interest, are exhausted. Interest is at a rate
we declare (or at a higher rate if required by law). Payout choices
are monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annual payments.
Option V: Other: You, as owner, may ask us to
apply money under any options we offer
at the time we pay the benefit.
The beneficiary(ies) or other person (successor to the beneficiary(ies)) who has
the right to receive payments may name someone else to receive amounts that we
would otherwise pay to the beneficiary's(ies') estate if he/she/they die(s). The
person who has the right to receive payment may name another person, at any
time. Designating another person to receive payment may have income, gift or
estate tax consequences. Consult a professional tax adviser before making this
designation.
We must approve an arrangement that involves someone who is to receive payment
who is not a human being (for example, a corporation). We must approve a
situation involving a person who is to receive payment while acting on behalf of
another, called a fiduciary. We base the details of all arrangements on our
rules at the time the arrangements are effective. This includes rules on the:
o minimum amount we pay under an option;
o minimum amounts for installment payments;
o withdrawal rights;
o right to receive payments over time, which we may offer as a lump sum
payment;
o naming of people who have the right to receive payment and their
successors; and
o proof of age and survival.
Administrative Information About The Policy
Voting Privileges
We invest the variable divisions' assets in shares of investment portfolios. We
are the legal owner of the shares held in the variable account and we have the
right to vote on certain issues. Among other things, we may vote on issues
described in the fund's current prospectus, or issues requiring a vote by
shareholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Even though we own the shares, we give you the opportunity to tell us how to
vote the number of shares attributable to your account value. We count
fractional shares. If you have a voting interest, we send you proxy material and
a form on which to give us your voting instructions.
Each investment portfolio's shares have the right to one vote. The votes of all
investment portfolios are cast together on a collective basis, except on issues
for which the interests of the portfolios differ. In these cases, voting is done
on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis.
Examples of issues that require a portfolio-by-portfolio vote are:
1. changes in the fundamental investment policy of a particular investment
portfolio; or
2. approval of an investment advisory agreement.
We vote the shares in accordance with your instructions at meetings of
investment portfolio shareholders. We vote any investment portfolio shares that
are not attributable to policies, and any investment portfolio shares for which
the owner does not give us instructions, the same way we vote as if we did
receive owner instructions.
We reserve the right to vote investment portfolio shares without getting
instructions from policy owners if the federal securities laws, regulations, or
their interpretations change to allow this.
You may only instruct us on matters relating to the investment portfolios
corresponding to divisions in which you have invested assets as of the record
date set by the investment portfolio's Board for the portfolio's shareholders
meeting. We determine the number of investment portfolio shares in each division
that we attribute to your policy by dividing your account value allocated to
that division by the net asset value of one share of the matching investment
portfolio.
Material Conflicts
We are required to track events to identify any material conflicts arising from
using investment portfolios for both variable life and variable annuity
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
46
<PAGE>
separate accounts. The boards of the investment portfolios, Security Life, and
other insurance companies participating in the investment portfolios, have this
same duty. There may be a material conflict if:
o state insurance law or federal income tax law changes;
o investment management of an investment portfolio changes; or
o voting instructions given by owners of variable life insurance policies
and variable annuity contracts differ.
The investment portfolios may sell shares to certain qualified pension and
retirement plans qualifying under Code Section 401. These include cash or
deferred arrangements under Code Section 401(k). Therefore, there is a
possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of owners
in general, or between certain classes of owners, and these retirement plans or
participants in these retirement plans.
If there is a material conflict, we have the duty to determine appropriate
action, including removing the portfolios involved from our variable investment
options. We may take other action to protect policy owners. This could mean
delays or interruptions of the variable operations.
When state insurance regulatory authorities require us, we may ignore voting
instructions relating to changes in an investment portfolio's adviser or its
investment policies. If we do ignore voting instructions, we give you a summary
of our actions in the next semi-annual report to owners.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we must get your approval for certain
actions involving our separate account. In this case, you have one vote for
every $100 of value you have in the variable divisions. We cast votes credited
to amounts in the variable divisions, but not credited to policies in the same
proportion as votes cast by owners.
Right to Change Operations
Subject to state limitations, we may from time to time make any of the following
changes to our separate account.
1. Change the investment objective.
2. Offer additional divisions which will invest in portfolios we find
appropriate for policies we issue.
3. Eliminate variable divisions.
4. Combine two or more variable divisions.
5. Substitute a new investment portfolio for a portfolio in which the
division currently invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in
our judgment:
o a portfolio no longer suits the purposes of your policy;
o there is a change in laws or regulations;
o there is a change in a portfolio's investment objectives or
restrictions;
o the portfolio is no longer available for investment; or
o another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate.
6. Transfer assets related to your policy class to another separate
account.
7. Withdraw the separate account from registration under the 1940 Act.
8. Operate the separate account as a management investment company under
the 1940 Act.
9. Cause one or more divisions to invest in a mutual fund other than, or
in addition to, the investment portfolios.
10. Stop selling these policies.
11. End any employer or plan trustee agreement with us under the
agreement's terms.
12. Limit or eliminate any voting rights for the separate account.
13. Make any changes required by the 1940 Act, or its rules or regulations.
We will not make a change until it is effective with the SEC and approved by the
appropriate state insurance departments, if necessary. We will notify you of
changes. If you then wish to transfer the amount you have in the affected
division to another variable division, or to the guaranteed interest division,
you may do so free of charge. Just notify us at our customer service center.

Reports to Owners
At the end of each policy year we send a report to you that shows:
o your total policy death benefit (your stated death benefit plus
adjustable term insurance rider death benefit, if any);
o your account value;
o your policy loans, if any, plus accrued interest;
o your net cash surrender value;
o information about the variable divisions; and
o your account transactions during the previous year showing net
premiums, transfers, deductions, loans, or withdrawals.
We also send semi-annual reports with financial information on the investment
portfolios, including a list of the investment holdings of each portfolio to
you.
We send confirmation notices to you throughout the year for certain policy
transactions.
CHARGES, DEDUCTIONS AND REFUNDS
The amount of a charge may not exactly correspond to the cost incurred by us to
provide the service or benefits associated with the particular policy. Many
charges are not at "cost". For example, the sales charges may not cover all of
the sales and distribution expenses actually incurred by us. Proceeds from other
charges, including the mortality and expense risk charge or cost of insurance
charges, may be used in part to cover such expenses.
Deductions from Premiums
We consider any payment we receive to be a premium if the younger insured
person's 100th birth date has not occurred and you do not have an outstanding
loan. After we deduct certain expenses from your premium payment, we add the
remaining net premium to your account value.
Tax Charges
We pay state and local taxes in almost all states. These taxes vary in amount
from state to state and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction within a
state. We currently deduct an amount equal to 2.5% of each premium payment you
make to cover these taxes. The 2.5% rate approximates the average tax rate we
expect to pay in all states.
We also currently deduct an amount equal to 1.5% of each premium payment you
make to cover our estimated costs for the federal income tax treatment of
deferred acquisition costs. This cost is determined solely by the amount of life
insurance premiums we receive.
We reserve the right to increase or decrease your premium expense charge for
taxes as a result of changes in the tax law, within limits set by state law. We
also reserve the right to increase or decrease your premium expense charge for
the federal income tax treatment of deferred acquisition costs based on any
change in that cost to us.
Sales Charge
We deduct a percentage from each of your premium payments to compensate us for
the costs we incur in selling the policies. We base the percentage on the time
expired since your policy date or addition of a segment and on your premium up
to and above a target premium:
Sales Charge Percentage
-----------------------
Up to Segment Above Segment
Segment Target Target
Year Premium Premium
---- ------- -------
1 - 5 5.5% 2%
6 + 2% 2%
To determine your applicable sales charge, premiums you pay after an increase in
stated death benefit are allocated to your policy segments in the same
proportion as the target premium for each segment bears to the sum of the target
premium for all segments.
The sales charge covers the costs of distribution, preparing our sales
literature, promotional expenses, and other direct and indirect expenses. The
amount charged is not specifically related to sales expenses in a particular
year.
We may reduce or waive the sales charge for certain group or sponsored
arrangements or for corporate purchasers.

Daily Deductions from the Variable Account
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
We deduct a charge each day for the mortality and expense risks we assume. This
charge is 0.002055% per day of the amount you have in the variable divisions.
This is an annual rate of 0.75%.
The mortality risk we assume is that insured people, as a group, may live less
time than we estimated. We assume risk that expenses we incur in issuing and
administering the policies and in operating the variable divisions are greater
than the amount we estimated when we set these charges.
The mortality and expense risk charge does not apply to your account value which
is invested in the guaranteed interest division or the loan division.
Monthly Deductions from Your Account Value
We deduct charges from your account value on each monthly processing date. When
you apply for a policy or later, you may designate a single withdrawal
investment division from which we will take your monthly deductions. You may
choose to have us withdraw the monthly deduction from the guaranteed interest
division or the variable divisions in which you have amounts. You may not use
the loan division as your designated withdrawal investment division from which
to deduct monthly deductions.
If you do not choose a withdrawal division from which to deduct monthly
deductions, or if the amount you have in your designated withdrawal investment
division is not enough to cover the monthly deductions, these charges are taken
from the variable and guaranteed interest divisions in the same proportion that
your account value in each division has to your total net account value as of
the monthly processing date.
If you change your designated withdrawal investment division from which to
deduct monthly deductions, we consider this an allocation change.

Policy Charge
The initial policy charge is $15 per month for the first ten years of your
policy. After the first ten years of your policy, the policy charge is $9 per
month. This charge compensates us for such costs as:
o application processing;
o medical examinations;
o establishment of policy records; and
o insurance underwriting costs.
Monthly Administrative Charge
For this policy, we charge a per month administrative charge of no less than
$0.07 and no more than $0.095 per $1,000 for the greater of the stated death
benefit for the target death benefit, for the first ten policy years. We charge
$0.023 per $1,000 for each policy year after the tenth for the greater of the
stated death benefit or the target death benefit. The exact per
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor

<PAGE>
$1,000 charge for your policy is based on the insured people's issue ages and
policy duration.
This charge is designed to compensate us for ongoing costs such as:
o premium billing and collections;
o claim processing;
o policy transactions;
o record keeping;
o reporting and communications with policy owners; and
o other expenses and overhead.
Cost of Insurance Charge
The cost of insurance charge compensates us for the ongoing costs of providing
insurance coverage, including the expected cost of paying death proceeds that
are more than your account value at the second death of the insured people.
The cost of insurance charge is based in part on the risk class to which the
insured people belong. The cost of insurance charge is equal to our current
monthly cost of insurance rate times the net amount at risk for each portion of
your death benefit. We calculate the net amount at risk monthly, at the
beginning of each policy month. We determine your account value after we deduct
your policy and rider charges due on that date, and other cost of insurance
charges for the base death benefit, adjustable term insurance rider and single
life term riders.
If your base death benefit at the beginning of a month increases (due to
requirements of the federal income tax law definition of life insurance), the
net amount at risk for your base death benefit for that month also increases.
Similarly, the net amount at risk for your adjustable term insurance rider
decreases. This means that the amount of your cost of insurance charge varies
from month to month with changes in your net amount at risk, changes in the
death benefit and with the increasing age of the insured people. We allocate the
net amount at risk to any segments in the same proportion that each segment has
to the total stated death benefit for all coverage segments as of the monthly
processing date.
We base your cost of insurance rates on the insured people's ages, genders,
ratings and premium classes for each segment date, or on the date you add a base
coverage segment.
Separate cost of insurance rates apply to:
o each segment of the base death benefit;
o your adjustable term insurance rider; and
o single life term riders.
These rates are never more than the guaranteed maximum rates shown in your
policy; however, they may change from time to time. The guaranteed maximum rates
are based on the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct Mortality
Table.
There are no cost of insurance charges after the younger insured person's 100th
birth date.
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Charge
If you choose the guaranteed minimum death benefit feature, we currently charge
$0.005 per $1,000 of stated death benefit each month during the guarantee
period. We guarantee it never to exceed $0.005 per $1,000 of death benefit.
Charges for Additional Benefits
On each monthly processing date, we deduct the cost of additional benefits under
your riders, including the adjustable term insurance rider and the single life
term rider. See Additional Benefits, page 28.
Changes in Monthly Charges
Changes we make in the cost of insurance charges or charges for additional
benefits are for a class of insured persons. We base the new charge on changes
in expectations about:
o investment earnings;
o mortality;
o the time policies remain in effect;
o expenses; and
o taxes.
New monthly charges will never be more than the guaranteed maximum rates shown
in your policy.
Continuation of Coverage Administrative Fee
At the younger insured person's 100th birth date, if your policy has not been
surrendered, the continuation of coverage period begins. We will charge a
one-time administrative fee of $400. This charge compensates us for maintaining
and servicing your policy until the second death of the insured people. We then
no longer charge you a monthly administrative fee.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Policy Transaction Fees
We also charge fees for certain transactions you may make under your policy. We
take these fees from the variable and the guaranteed interest divisions in the
same proportion that your account value in each division has to your net account
value immediately after the transaction.
Partial Withdrawal
For our costs, we charge a service fee of $25 against your account value for
each partial withdrawal you take. We may also deduct a surrender charge from
your account value. See Partial Withdrawals, page 37.
Transfers
There is a $25 fee for each additional transfer over twelve per policy year. If
you include multiple transfers in one transfer request, it counts as one
transfer. There is no transfer fee if you are transferring your account value
into the guaranteed interest division under the right to exchange feature in
your policy. See Transfers of Account Values, page 34, and Right to Exchange
Policy, page 31.
Illustrations
The first policy illustration you request in a policy year is free. After that,
we may charge a fee of up to $25 for each additional policy illustration you
request.
Allocation Change
You may make five free premium allocation changes per policy year for free.
After the five free premium allocation changes, we charge you $25 for each
additional premium allocation change per policy year.
Persistency Refund
Where state law allows us, we pay long-term policy owners a persistency refund.
Each month your policy remains in force after your tenth policy anniversary, we
credit your account value with a refund. This refund equals 0.6% of your account
value on an annual basis. On a monthly basis, this equals 0.05%.
We do not guarantee that we will pay a persistency refund on the guaranteed
interest division.
We add the persistency refund to the variable and guaranteed interest divisions,
in the same proportion that your account value in each division has to your net
account value as of the monthly processing date. If we pay a persistency refund
on the guaranteed interest division, we will pay it to you if your policy is in
the continuation of coverage period.
Here are two examples of how the persistency refund may affect your account
value each month:
Example 1: Your policy has no loan:
o account value = $10,000 (all in the variable divisions)
o monthly persistency refund rate = .0005
o persistency refund = 10,000 x .0005 = $5.00

o account value in the loan division = $4,000

Surrender Charge
We may deduct a surrender charge from your account value during the first nine
years of your policy or of a coverage segment if you:
o surrender your policy;
o reduce your stated death benefit;
o allow your policy to lapse; or
o take a partial withdrawal which decreases your stated death benefit
during the first nine years of your policy or during the first nine
years of your policy after you increase your stated death benefit.
The surrender charge compensates us for issuing and distributing policies. We
deduct surrender charges proportionately based on the account value in each
investment division in which you have amounts invested immediately following the
transaction.
If you change your death benefit option, this may decrease your stated death
benefit. Under these circumstances, we do not deduct a surrender charge from
your account value, and we do not reduce future surrender charges.
If you change your death benefit option, this may increase the stated death
benefit. We do not increase your surrender charge in this case. However, all
other increases in your stated death benefit create a new segment which will be
subject to its own nine year surrender charge period.
If your surrender charge changes, we send a new schedule showing the change.
The surrender charge remains level for the first five years of each coverage
segment and then decreases through the ninth year. Thereafter, the surrender
charge is zero. For purposes of calculating surrender charges, target premium is
premium attributable to base death benefit coverage.

Group or Sponsored Arrangements or Corporate Purchasers
Individuals, corporations or other institutions may purchase this policy. For
group or sponsored arrangements (including our home office employees), corporate
purchases, or special exchange programs which we may offer from time to time, we
may reduce or waive the:
o surrender charge, including the surrender charge on partial
withdrawals;
o length of time a surrender charge applies;
o administrative charge;
o minimum stated death benefit;
o minimum target death benefit;
o minimum annual premium;
o target premium;
o sales charges;
o cost of insurance charges; or
o other charges normally assessed.
We can reduce or waive these items due to expected economies under a group or
sponsored arrangement or with a corporate purchaser. Group arrangements include
those in which there is a trustee, an employer or an association. The group
either purchases policies covering a group of individuals on a group basis or
endorses a policy to a group of individuals. Sponsored arrangements include
those in which an employer or association allows us to offer policies to its
employees or members on an individual basis.
Our sales, administration and mortality costs generally vary with the size and
stability of the group, among other factors. We take all these factors into
account when we reduce charges. A group or sponsored arrangement must meet
certain requirements to qualify for reduced charges. We make reductions to
charges based on our rules in effect when we approve a policy application form.
We may change these rules from time to time.
Sponsored arrangements or corporations may have different group premium payments
and premium requirements.
We will not be unfairly discriminatory in any variation in the surrender charge,
administrative charge, or other charges, fees and privileges. These variations
are based on differences in costs or services.
Other Charges
Under current law, we pay no tax on investment income and capital gains included
in variable life insurance policy reserves. This means that no charge is
currently made to any variable division for our federal income taxes. If the tax
law changes and we have federal income tax chargeable to the variable divisions,
we may make such a charge in the future.
In most states, we must pay state and local taxes. If these taxes increase, we
may charge for such taxes.
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following summary provides a general description of the federal income tax
considerations associated with the policy and does not purport to be complete or
to cover all tax situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice.
Counsel or other competent tax advisers should be consulted for more complete
information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present
federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of
continuation of the present federal income tax laws or as to how they may be
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service.
Tax Status of the Policy
This policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the
Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the policy shall be construed
in a manner which is consistent with that design. In order to qualify as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax
treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a
policy must satisfy certain requirements which are set forth in the Internal
Revenue Code. Specifically, the policy must meet the requirements of the
"Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test," as specified in Code section 7702.
The Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test provides for a maximum premium in
relation to the death benefit, and a minimum "corridor" of death benefit in
relation to account value. See Appendix B, pages 69, 70 for a table of the
Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test factors.
There is very little guidance with respect to policies issued on a last survivor
basis, however, we believe it
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
56
<PAGE>
is reasonable to conclude that our policies satisfy the applicable requirements.
If it is subsequently determined that a policy does not satisfy the applicable
requirements, we will take appropriate steps to bring the policy into compliance
with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict policy transactions
or modify your policy in order to do so.
Diversification Requirements
In addition to meeting the Code Section 7702 Guideline Premium/Cash Corridor
Test, Code Section 817(h) requires separate account investments, such as our
variable account, to be adequately diversified. The Treasury has issued
regulations which set the standards for measuring the adequacy of any
diversification. To be adequately diversified, each variable division must meet
certain tests. If your variable life policy is not adequately diversified under
these regulations, it is not treated as life insurance under Code Section 7702.
You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you
earn it. Our variable divisions' investment portfolios have promised they will
meet the diversification standards that apply to your policy.
In certain circumstances, you, as owner of a variable life insurance contract,
may be considered the owner for federal income tax purposes of the separate
account assets used to support your contract. Any income and gains from the
separate account assets are includable in the gross income from your policy
under these circumstances. The IRS has stated in published rulings that a
variable contract owner is considered the owner of separate account assets if
the contract owner has "indicia of ownership" in those assets. "Indicia of
ownership" includes the ability to exercise investment control over the assets.
Your ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in some
ways from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it determined that
policy owners are not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have
flexibility in allocating your premium payments and in your policy values. These
differences could result in the IRS treating you as the owner of a pro rata
share of the variable account assets. We do not know what standards will be set
forth in the future, if any, in the Treasury's regulations or rulings that it
expects to issue. We reserve the right to modify your policy, as necessary, to
try to prevent you from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the
variable account assets or to otherwise qualify your policy for favorable tax
treatment.
The following discussion assumes that the policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.
Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits
We believe that the death benefit under a policy is generally excludable from
the gross income of the beneficiary(ies) under section 10(a)(1) of the Code.
However, there are exceptions to this general rule. Additionally, federal and
local transfer, estate inheritance, and other tax consequences of ownership or
receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or
beneficiary(ies). A tax adviser should be consulted about these consequences.
Generally, the policy owner will not be taxed on any of the policy cash value
until there is a distribution. When distributions from a policy occur, or when
loans are taken from or secured by a Policy, the tax consequences depend on
whether or not the policy is a "modified endowment contract."
Special rules also apply if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax. You
should consult a tax adviser if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax.
Modified Endowment Contracts
Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified
as "modified endowment contracts," and are given less favorable tax treatment
than other life insurance contracts. Due to the flexibility of the policies as
to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each policy will
determine whether or not it is classified as a modified endowment contract. The
rules are too complex to be summarized here, but generally depend on the amount
of premiums paid during the first seven policy years. Certain changes in a
policy after it is issued could also cause it to be classified as a modified
endowment contract. A current or prospective policy owner should consult with a
competent advisor to determine whether or not a policy transaction will cause
the policy to be
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Last Survivor
57
<PAGE>
classified as a modified endowment contract.
Multiple Policies
All modified endowment contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to
the same policy owner during any calendar year are treated as one modified
endowment contract for purposes of determining the amount includable in the
policy owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs.
Distributions Other than Death Benefits from Modified Endowment Contracts
Once a policy is classified as a modified endowment contract, the following tax
rules apply both prospectively and to any distributions made in the prior two
years:
1. All distributions other than death benefits, including distributions
upon surrender and withdrawals, from a modified endowment contact will
be treated first as distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income
and as tax-free recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy
only after all gain has been distributed.
2. Loans taken from or secured by a policy classified as a modified
endowment contract are treated as distributions and taxed first as
distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income and as tax-free
recovery of the policy owner's investment in the policy only after all
gain has been distributed.
3. A 10% additional income tax penalty may be imposed on distribution
amount subject to income tax. Consult a tax adviser to determine
whether or not you may be subject to this penalty tax.
Distributions Other than Death Benefits from Policies That Are Not Modified
Endowment Contracts
Distributions other than death benefits from a policy that is not classified as
a modified endowment contract are generally treated first as a recovery of the
policy owner's investment in the policy. Only after the recovery of all
investment in the policy, is there taxable income. However, certain
distributions which must be made in order to enable the policy to continue to
qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes, if policy
benefits are reduced during the first fifteen policy years, may be treated in
whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax.
Loans from or secured by a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are
generally not treated as distributions. However, the tax consequences of a loan
from such a policy after the ninth policy year are uncertain. You should consult
a tax adviser as to such consequences. Finally, neither distributions from, nor
loans from or secured by, a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are
subject to the 10% additional income tax.
Investment in the Policy
Your investment in the policy is generally the total of your aggregate premiums.
When a distribution is taken from the policy other than a policy loan, your
investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is
tax free.
Policy Loans
In general, interest on a policy loan will not be deductible. Before taking out
a policy loan, you should consult a tax adviser as to the tax consequences.
Section 1035 Exchanges
Code Section 1035 generally provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized on
the exchange of one life insurance policy for another life insurance policy, or
for an endowment or annuity contract. We accept 1035 exchanges with outstanding
loans. Special rules and procedures apply to Section 1035 exchanges. If you wish
to take advantage of Section 1035, you should consult your tax adviser.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tax-exempt Policy Owners
Special rules may apply to a policy that is owned by a tax-exempt entity.
Tax-exempt entities should consult their tax adviser regarding the consequences
of purchasing and owning a policy. These consequences could include an effect on
the tax-exempt status of the entity and the possibility of the unrelated
business income tax.
Possible Tax Law Changes
Although the likelihood of legislative action is uncertain, there is always the
possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could change by legislation or
otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative
development and their effect on the policy.
Changes to Comply with the Law
So that your policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Code, we
reserve the right to refuse to accept all or part of your premium payments, or
to change your death benefit. We may refuse to allow you to make partial
withdrawals that would cause your policy to fail to qualify as life insurance.
We also may:
o make changes to your policy or its riders; or
o take distributions from your policy to the degree that we deem
necessary to qualify your policy as life insurance for tax purposes.
If we make any change of this type, it applies the same way to all affected
policies. We will give you advance notice of this change.
The tax law limits the amount we can charge for mortality costs and other
expenses used to calculate whether your policy qualifies as life insurance for
federal income tax purposes. We must base these calculations on reasonable
mortality charges and other charges reasonably expected to be paid. The Treasury
issued proposed regulations on what it considers reasonable mortality charges.
We believe that the charges used for your policy should meet the Treasury's
current requirement for "reasonableness." We reserve the right to make changes
to the mortality charges if future regulations have standards which make changes
necessary in order to continue to qualify your policy as life insurance for
federal income tax purposes.
Additionally, assuming that you do not want your policy to be or to become a
modified endowment contract, we include a policy endorsement under which we have
the right to amend your policy, including riders. We do this to attempt to
enable your policy continues to meet the seven-pay test for federal income tax
purposes. If the policy premium you pay is more than the seven-pay limit, we
have the right to remove any excess premium or to make any appropriate
adjustments to your policy's account value and death benefit. It is not clear,
however, whether we can take effective action pursuant to this endorsement under
all possible circumstances to prevent a policy that has exceeded the premium
limitation from being classified as a modified endowment contract.
Any increase in your death benefit will cause an increase in your cost of
insurance charges.
Other
Policy owners may use our policies in various arrangements, including:
o qualified plans;
o non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans;
o split dollar insurance plans;
o executive bonus plans;
o retiree medical benefit plans; and
o other plans.
The tax consequences of these plans may vary depending on the particular facts
and circumstances of each arrangement. If you want to use any of your policies
in this type of arrangement, you should consult a qualified tax adviser
regarding the tax issues of your particular arrangement.
In recent years, Congress has adopted new rules relating to life insurance owned
by businesses. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a
change in an existing policy should consult a tax adviser.
The IRS requires us to withhold income taxes from any portion of the amounts
individuals receive in a taxable transaction. We do not withhold income taxes if
you elect in writing not to have withholding apply. If the amount withheld for
you is insufficient to cover income taxes, you may have to pay income taxes and
possibly penalties later.

The transfer of the policy or designation of a beneficiary may have federal,
state, and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the
imposition of gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example,
the transfer of the policy to, or the designation as a beneficiary of, or the
payment of proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or
more generations below the generation assignment of the policy owner may have
generation skipping transfer tax consequences under federal tax law. The
individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the
extent, if any, to which federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance
taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be
treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation
skipping and other taxes.
You should consult qualified legal or tax advisers for complete information on
federal, state, local, and other tax considerations.
ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS, ACCOUNT VALUES,
SURRENDER VALUES, AND ACCUMULATED PREMIUMS
The following tables are intended to show how the policy works. This includes
how benefits and values can vary over a long period of time. Each table also
compares these values with total premiums paid with interest. The policies
illustrated include:

</TABLE>
The tables show how death benefits, account values, and cash surrender values of
a hypothetical policy could vary over an extended period of time, assuming the
variable divisions had constant hypothetical gross annual investment returns of
0%, 6%, or 12% over the periods indicated in each table.
Values would differ from those shown in the tables if the annual investment
returns were not constant.
These illustrations assume there are no policy loans. The amounts shown would
differ if we had used two females or two males.
The third column of each table shows what would happen if an amount equal to the
assumed premiums earned interest, after taxes, of 5% compounded annually.
We illustrate premium payments as if they were made at the beginning of the
year.
The difference between the account value and the cash surrender value in the
first nine years of the policy shows the effect of the surrender charge.
The net investment return on your policy is lower than the gross investment
return on the variable divisions. We show this effect in the amounts for death
benefits, account values and cash surrender values. This effect is due to
deductions from premiums, the mortality and expense risk charge, monthly
deductions and surrender charges. The tables show charges at our current rates.
See Monthly Deductions from Your Account Value, page 49. The tables also show
charges at the maximum rates we guarantee in our policies. The mortality and
expense risk investment

fee is 0.75% annually on a guaranteed basis. These illustrations show current
rates, which include a persistency refund of 0.6% of the annual account value
beginning after the tenth policy anniversary.
The tables also reflect the effect on each division's investment performance of
the portfolio charge for management fees and portfolio expenses.
The tables reflect annual management fees of .6635% of the portfolios' aggregate
average daily net assets. This hypothetical rate is a simple average of the
investment advisory fees applying to the investment portfolios for the year
ending December 31, 1998. We assume other portfolio expenses at the rate of
.1752% of the portfolios' average daily net assets. This is an average of all
the portfolios' other expenses for the year ending December 31, 1998. These
charges total .8387%. Actual fees vary by portfolio. The sponsor may have
agreements to waive or otherwise pay each investment division for operating
expenses which are greater than certain limits. The tables assume that the
current expense reimbursement arrangements will continue. However, they may not
continue.
The effect of these charges and expenses, and mortality and expense risk
charges results in a net rate of return of:
o (1.58)% on a 0% gross rate ofreturn;
o 4.37% on a 6% gross rate of return; and
o 10.33% on a 12% gross rate of return.
The tables assume that charges have been deducted. This includes administrative
and sales charges. The tables show that we do not currently charge against the
variable account for state or federal taxes. If we charge for the taxes in the
future, it will take a higher gross rate of return than the rates shown to
produce the same death benefits, account values, and cash surrender values.
If we are asked to do so, we will give you a comparable personal illustration
based on:
o the insured people's ages and genders;
o standard premium class assumptions;
o initial stated death benefit;
o the chosen death benefit option;
o scheduled premiums consistent with your policy form; and
o special features elected on your policy.
At issue, we deliver an individualized illustration showing the scheduled
premium you chose and the insured people's actual risk classes. After we issue
the policy, if you ask us to, we will give you an illustration of future policy
benefits. We base these hypothetical future benefits on both guaranteed and
current cost factor assumptions and actual account value.

Regulation
We are regulated and supervised by the Division of Insurance of the Department
of Regulatory Agencies of the State of Colorado which periodically examines our
financial condition and operations. In addition, we are subject to the insurance
laws and regulations in every jurisdiction in which we do business. As a result,
the provisions of this policy may vary somewhat from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction.
We are required to submit annual statements, including financial statements, of
our operations and finances to the insurance departments of the various
jurisdictions in which we do business to determine solvency and compliance with
state insurance laws and regulations.
We are also subject to various federal securities laws and regulations.
Legal Matters
The legal matters in connection with the policy described in this prospectus
have been passed on by the General Counsel of Security Life. Sutherland Asbill &
Brennan LLP has provided advice on certain matters relating to the federal

Legal Proceedings
Security Life, as an insurance company, is ordinarily involved in litigation. We
do not believe that any current litigation is material to Security Life's
ability to meet its obligations under the policy or to the variable account, and
we do not expect to incur significant losses from such actions. ING America
Equities, Inc., the principal underwriter and distributor of the policy, is not
engaged in any litigation of any material nature.

APPENDIX C
Performance Information
POLICY PERFORMANCE
The following hypothetical illustrations demonstrate how the actual investment
experience of each Division of the Variable Account affects the Cash Surrender
Value, Account Value and Death Benefit of a policy. These hypothetical
illustrations are based on the actual historical return of each portfolio as if
a policy had been issued on the date indicated. Each portfolio's Annual Total
Return is based on the total return calculated for each fiscal year. These
Annual Total Return figures reflect the portfolio's management fees and other
operating expenses but do not reflect the policy level or Variable Account
asset-based charges and deductions, which if reflected, would result in lower
total return figures than those shown.
The illustrations are based on the payment of a $12,500 annual premium, paid at
the beginning of each year, for a hypothetical policy with a $1,000,000 face
amount death benefit Option 1, issued on a preferred, nonsmoker male, Age 50 and
a preferred, nonsmoker female, age 50. It is assumed that all premiums are
allocated to the division illustrated for the period shown. The benefits are
calculated for a specific date. The amount and timing of Premium Payments and
the use of other policy features, such as policy Loans, would affect individual
policy benefits.
The amounts shown for the Cash Surrender Values, Account Values and Death
Benefits take into account the charges against premiums, current cost of
insurance and monthly deductions, the daily charge against the Variable Account
for mortality and expense risks, and each portfolio's charges and expenses. See
Charges, Deductions and Refunds, page 48. This prospectus also contains
illustrations based on assumed rates of return. See Illustrations of Death
Benefits, Account Values, Surrender Values and Accumulated Premiums, page 60.

PART II
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic
information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or
regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to
authority conferred in that section.
UNDERTAKING REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION
Please refer to the Articles of Incorporation listed as Exhibits 1.A(6)(a) and
1.A(6)(b-g) and the By-Laws listed as Exhibits 1.A(6)(h) and 1.A(6)(h)(i).
Security Life of Denver's (the "corporation") Certificate of Incorporation and
bylaws provide that the corporation shall have every power and duty of
indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents, without
limitation, provided by the laws of the state of Colorado. Under Colorado
law, the corporation has the power to indemnify such persons against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and
in a manner which that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interest of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
In the case of actions by or in the right of the corporation, such
indemnification cannot be made where such person is adjudged liable to the
corporation, except pursuant to a court order. The corporation is required to
indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents against expense actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with actions where such persons have
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of such actions.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") 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 will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
preceding, 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.
UNDERTAKING REQUIRED BY SECTION 26(e)(2)(A) OF THE INVESTMENT
COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company represents that the fees and charges
deducted under the Policy, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the
services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred and the risks assumed
by the Company.

attained joint equivalent age is the joint equivalent issue age on the
policy date increased by the number of completed policy years.
YOUNGER INSURED'S BIRTH DATE - The younger insured's 100th birth date is
the date on which the younger of the two insureds reaches attained age 100
or the date the younger insured would have reached attained age 100 if that
insured dies before actually reaching that date. Any other birth date of
the younger insured is determined in the same manner. The younger insured's
attained age is the issue age of the younger of the two insureds as shown
in the Schedule, increased by the number of completed policy years.
BASE DEATH BENEFIT - The base death benefit is defined in the Base Death Benefit
provision of the policy.
CASH SURRENDER VALUE - The amount of your account value minus the surrender
charge, if any.

the account value may be allocated and which provides guarantees of principal
and interest.

policy was delivered to you plus the Right to Examine Period, so long as we
receive notice of the delivery date at our Customer Service Center before the
date defined in (b), or (b) the date this policy is mailed from our Customer
Service Center plus five days plus the Right to Examine Period.

by any policy loan interest capitalized when due, and reduced by any policy loan
repayments.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE PERIOD - The period of time within which the owner may examine

any time. Also, within limits, you may pay less or more than the scheduled
premium.
SECOND DEATH - The second death is the death of the second to die of the two
insureds.
SEGMENT - The stated death benefit shown on the Benefit Profile of the Schedule
is the initial segment, or Segment 1. Each increase in the stated death benefit
(other than due to an option change) is a new segment. Each new segment will be

portfolios and unit values of the divisions are determined. Except for days that
a division's corresponding portfolio does not value its shares, a valuation date
is any day:

and on which Security Life's Customer Service Center is open
for business; or
(b) as may be required by law.
VALUATION PERIOD - The period which begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a
valuation date and ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the next succeeding
valuation date.

INSURANCE COVERAGE PROVISIONS
EFFECTIVE DATE
The policy date shown in the Schedule is the effective date for all coverage
provided in the original application. The policy date is the date from which we
measure policy years and determine the monthly processing date. The first
monthly processing date is the investment date. Future monthly processing dates
are the same calendar day of each month as the policy date unless this is not a
valuation date in which case the monthly processing date occurs on the next
valuation date. A policy anniversary occurs each year on the same month and day
as the policy date unless this is not a valuation date in which case the policy
anniversary occurs on the next valuation date. The effective date for new
segments and additional benefits is shown in the Schedule.
BASE DEATH BENEFIT
The base death benefit will be, at any time, determined as follows:
Option 1: Under Option 1, the base death benefit is the greater of:
(a) The stated death benefit; or
(b) The account value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the Death
Benefit Factors shown in the Schedule.
Option 2: Under Option 2, the base death benefit is the greater of:
(a) The stated death benefit plus the account value, or
(b) The account value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the
Death Benefit Factors shown in the Schedule.
The stated death benefit and the death benefit option are shown in the Schedule.
This policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the
Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the policy shall be construed
in a manner consistent with that design. The base death benefit in force at any
time shall not be less than the amount of insurance necessary to achieve such
qualification under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code in
existence at the time the policy is issued. We reserve the right to amend the
policy or adjust the amount of insurance when required. We will send you a copy
of any policy amendment.
CHANGE IN REQUESTED INSURANCE COVERAGE
You may request that the insurance coverage be increased or decreased. Decreases
are not allowed before the first policy anniversary. The change in coverage may
not be for an amount less than $1,000. The effective date of the change will be
the monthly processing date immediately following the
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 7
<PAGE>
date your written application is approved by us. After any change to the stated
death benefit, you will receive an amended Schedule reflecting the change, the
benefit under any riders, if applicable, the guaranteed cost of insurance rates,
the new target premium and the new surrender charge.
REQUESTED INCREASES IN COVERAGE
Subject to our limits, you may request an increase in the stated death benefit
through attained joint equivalent age 85. An increase will become effective as
of the monthly processing date immediately following the date your written
application is approved by us. You must provide evidence satisfactory to us that
the insureds are insurable according to our normal rules of underwriting for the
applicable premium class for this type of policy. This evidence will include an
application and may include required medical information. An increase will
consist of a new segment of stated death benefit . Each new segment will result
in a new sales load which will be deducted from the premium allocated to the new
segment. The new segment may also be subject to a new minimum annual premium,
new surrender charges, new per thousand of stated death benefit charges, new
cost of insurance charges and new incontestability and suicide exclusion
periods.
REQUESTED DECREASES IN COVERAGE
After the first policy anniversary, you may request a decrease in the stated
death benefit. We will limit the decrease such that, immediately after the
requested decrease:
a) The stated death benefit is at least $250,000 if there is no adjustable
term insurance on the policy.
b) If there is adjustable term insurance on the policy, the stated death
benefit is at least $100,000 and the target death benefit is at least
$250,000.
A decrease will be effective as of the monthly processing date immediately
following the date your written application is approved by us. A decrease will
first reduce Adjustable Term Insurance Rider coverage, if attached to your
policy, and will then reduce each of the stated death benefit segments in the
same proportion as the stated death benefit is reduced. A surrender charge will
apply if the stated death benefit is decreased and the decrease occurs during
the 9 years following the policy date or the date of the prior increase. If a
surrender charge applies, it will be deducted from your account value and future
surrender charges will be reduced.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION CHANGES
Beginning with the first policy anniversary and ending with the policy
anniversary nearest the younger insured's 100th birth date, you may request to
change the death benefit option. This change will be effective as of the monthly
processing date next following approval. A death benefit option change applies
to the entire stated death benefit. We may not allow any change if it would
reduce the stated death benefit below the minimum we require to issue this
policy at the time of reduction. After the effective date of the change, the
stated death benefit will be changed according to the following table:
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 8
<PAGE>
OPTION CHANGE
FROM TO STATED DEATH BENEFIT FOLLOWING THE OPTION CHANGE
EQUALS:
Option 1 Option 2 Stated death benefit prior to such change minus
your account value as of the effective date of
the change.
Option 2 Option 1 Stated death benefit prior to such change plus
your account value as of the effective date of
the change.
To determine the segment stated death benefit after an option change, your
account value will be allocated to each segment in the same proportion that
segment bears to the stated death benefit as of the effective date of the
change.
CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE AFTER AGE 100
If the policy is in force on the policy anniversary nearest the younger
insured's 100th birth date, the policy will continue pursuant to the terms of
the policy. On this date, the following will occur:
(a) The target death benefit on the policy anniversary nearest the younger
insured's 100th birth date will then become the stated death benefit for
the policy and any remaining death benefit in force under the Adjustable
Term Insurance Rider will terminate.
(b) All other riders attached to the policy also will terminate.
(c) The portion of your account value invested in the Divisions of the
Variable Account will be transferred into the Guaranteed Interest
Division and no further investment in the Divisions of the Variable
Account will be allowed.
(d) If the death benefit option in force on the policy is Option 2, the
policy will be converted to death benefit Option 1 in accordance with the
procedures outlined in the Death Benefit Option Changes provision of the
policy. No further changes will be allowed to the death benefit option.
After the policy anniversary nearest the younger insured's 100th birth date, no
further premiums will be accepted and no monthly deductions will be made.
However, a one-time administrative fee of $400 will be charged against the
policy's account value. We will continue to credit interest to the account value
in the Guaranteed Interest Division. Policy loans and withdrawals continue to be
available. Any existing policy loan will continue. Policy loan interest will
continue to accrue. Payments on policy loans and policy loan interest will be
accepted. The policy will enter the 61-day grace period if the net cash
surrender value is zero or less.
If you do not want coverage to continue past the policy anniversary nearest the
younger insured's 100th birth date, the policy may be surrendered at that time,
or earlier.

PAYOUT OF PROCEEDS
Proceeds refer to the amount we will pay:
a) Upon surrender of the policy; or
b) Upon the second death of the two insureds.
The proceeds upon surrender of this policy will be the net cash surrender value.
The amount of proceeds payable upon the second death will be the base death
benefit in effect on the date of the second death, plus any amounts payable from
any additional benefits provided by rider, minus any outstanding policy loan
including accrued but unpaid interest, minus any unpaid monthly deductions
incurred prior to the date of the second death. The calculation of the death
proceeds will be computed as of the date of the second death. The second death
is the death of the second to die of the two insureds.
We will determine the amount of proceeds payable upon the second death when we
have received due proof of both deaths and any other information which is
necessary to process the claim. Any proceeds we pay are subject to adjustments
as provided in the Misstatement of Age or Sex, Suicide Exclusion and
Incontestability provisions.
We will pay proceeds in one sum unless you request an alternate form of payment.
There are many possible methods of payment. The available payout options are
described in the Payouts Other Than As One Sum provision. Contact us or your
registered representative for additional information. Interest will be paid on
the one sum death proceeds from the date of second death to the date of payment,
or until a payout option is selected. Interest will be at the rate we declare,
or at any higher rate required by law.
PREMIUM PROVISIONS
INITIAL PREMIUM ALLOCATION
If the initial period has not ended on the investment date, net premium amounts
designated for allocation to Divisions of the Variable Account will be allocated
to the Money Market Division and any net premium amount designated for
allocation to the Guaranteed Interest Division will be allocated to that
division. On the valuation date immediately following the end of the initial
period, the balance of the amount in the Money Market Division will be
transferred to the other Divisions of the Variable Account according to the
allocations shown in the latest instructions received from you at our Customer
Service Center. The amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division will
remain in that division.
If the initial period has ended on the investment date, net premium amounts will
be allocated to Divisions of the Variable Account and/or to the Guaranteed
Interest Division in accordance with the allocation shown in the latest
instructions received at our Customer Service Center.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 10
<PAGE>
SUBSEQUENT PREMIUM ALLOCATIONS
After the initial premium allocation, all future scheduled and unscheduled
premiums will be allocated to the investment divisions in accordance with the
allocation shown in the latest instructions received at our Customer Service
Center (unless you otherwise specify in writing). This allocation will occur on
the valuation date immediately following our receipt of the premium at our
Customer Service Center.
CHANGES TO PREMIUM ALLOCATIONS
You may change your premium allocation in accordance with instructions included
in your annual policy prospectus. If the change causes a premium allocation
charge to be incurred according to the Schedule, we will deduct a charge from
the Divisions of the Variable Account and from the Guaranteed Interest Division
as described in the prospectus in effect at the time of the transaction.
SCHEDULED PREMIUMS
The scheduled premium as shown in the Schedule may be paid while this policy is
in force prior to the policy anniversary nearest the younger insured's 100th
birth date. You may increase or decrease the amount of the scheduled premium,
subject to limits we may set and provisions in the Premium Limitation section.
Under conditions provided in the Grace Period provision and the Guarantee Period
provision you may be required to make premium payments to keep the policy in
force. You may pay premiums on a monthly basis through an automated payment
facility. All payment modes are subject to our minimum requirements for the
payment mode selected.
UNSCHEDULED PREMIUMS
You may make unscheduled premium payments at any time the policy is in force
prior to the policy anniversary nearest the younger insured's 100th birth date,
subject to the Premium Limitation section. Unless you tell us otherwise, these
premium payments will first be applied to reduce or pay off any existing policy
loan and, as such, premium expense charges will not be deducted. We may limit
the amount of such unscheduled premium payments if the payment would result in
an increase in the base death benefit. If the net amount at risk is increased as
a result of an unscheduled premium, we may require evidence of insurability
satisfactory to us that the insureds are insurable according to our normal rules
of underwriting for the applicable premium class for this type of policy. This
evidence will include an application and may include required medical
information. The net amount at risk is the difference between the base death
benefit and your account value.
NET PREMIUM
The net premium equals the premium paid minus the premium expense charge shown
in the Schedule. The premium expense charge is the sales load plus the tax
charge. The tax charge is the applicable tax percentage times the premium.
To determine the sales load, we multiply the applicable percentage sales load
times the premium allocated to the segment. There is a different percentage
sales load for the allocated premium that is below the segment target premium
and that above that segment target premium. The
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 11
<PAGE>
applicable percentage sales load also depends on the segment year the premium is
received. Each premium received is allocated to the existing segments. (If there
is only one segment the entire premium is allocated to that segment.) Premiums
are allocated in the same proportion that the target premium of each segment
bears to the sum of the target premiums of all segments.
The Schedule shows: (1) the target premium for each segment; (2) the
percentage sales loads; and (3) the tax percentage.
PREMIUM LIMITATION
We will refund any premium that causes your policy not to qualify as a life
insurance policy under the Internal Revenue Code. No premium may be paid after
the second death. No premium may be paid after the policy anniversary nearest
the younger insured's 100th birth date.
FAILURE TO PAY PREMIUM
If you stop paying premiums prior to the policy anniversary nearest the younger
insured's 100th birth date, your coverage may lapse. See your Grace Period
provision for details.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
The Variable Account is an account established by us, pursuant to the laws of
the State of Colorado, to separate the assets funding the benefits for the class
of policies to which this policy belongs from the other assets of Security Life
of Denver Insurance Company.
The Variable Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. All income, gains and losses, whether or not
realized, from assets allocated to the Variable Account are credited to or
charged against the Variable Account without regard to income, gains or losses
of our General Account. The assets of the Variable Account are our property but
are separate from our General Account and our other Variable Accounts. That
portion of the assets of the Variable Account which is equal to the reserves and
other policy liabilities with respect to the Variable Account is not chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct or subject to
creditor claims against us.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT DIVISIONS
The Variable Account is divided into divisions, each of which invests in a fund
portfolio designed to meet the objectives of the division. The current eligible
divisions are shown in your annual policy prospectus. We may, from time to time,
add additional divisions. If we do, you may be permitted to select from these
other divisions subject to the terms and conditions we may impose on those
allocations.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 12
<PAGE>
We reserve the right to limit the number of divisions in which you may invest
over the life of the policy. This limit, if any, will be listed in the updated
policy prospectus provided to you each year.
CHANGES WITHIN THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
When permitted by law, and subject to any required notice to you and approval of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), state regulatory authorities or
policy owners, we may from time to time make the following changes to the
Variable Account:
* Make additional divisions available. These divisions will invest in
investment portfolios we find suitable for the policy.
* Eliminate divisions from the Variable Account or combine 2 or more
divisions.
* Substitute a new portfolio for the portfolio in which a division invests.
A substitution may become necessary if, in our judgment, a portfolio no
longer suits the purposes of the policy. This may happen due to a change in
laws or regulations, or a change in a portfolio's investment objectives or
restrictions. This may also happen if the portfolio is no longer available
for investment, or for some other reason, such as a declining asset base.
* Transfer assets of the Variable Account, which we determine to be
associated with the class of policies to which your policy belongs, to
another Variable Account.
* Withdraw the Variable Account from registration under the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
* Operate the Variable Account as a management investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
* Invest one or more divisions in a mutual fund other than, or in addition
to, the portfolios.
* Discontinue the sale of policies.
* Terminate any employer or plan trustee agreement with us pursuant to
its terms.
* Restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to the Variable Account.
* Make any changes required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the
rules or regulations thereunder.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99

<PAGE>
GENERAL ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
THE GENERAL ACCOUNT
The General Account holds all of our assets other than those held in the
Variable Account or our other separate accounts. The Guaranteed Interest
Division is a part of our General Account.
GUARANTEED INTEREST DIVISION
The Guaranteed Interest Division is another division to which you may allocate
premiums or make transfers. The account value of the Guaranteed Interest
Division is equal to the net premium allocated to this division plus any earned
interest minus deductions taken from this division. Interest is credited at the
guaranteed rate shown in the schedule or may be credited at a higher rate. Any
higher rate is guaranteed to be in effect for at least a 12 month period.
LOAN DIVISION
The Loan Division is the account that is set aside to secure the policy loan, if
any. See the Loan Provisions section for information.
TRANSFER PROVISIONS
After the initial period and until the policy anniversary nearest the younger
insured's 100th birth date, your account value in each division may be
transferred to any other Division of the Variable Account or to the Guaranteed
Interest Division upon your request. One transfer from the Guaranteed Interest
Division into the variable divisions may be made during the first 30 days of
each policy year. Additional limitations, requirements and charges for transfers
will be listed in and governed by your annual policy prospectus in effect at the
time of the transfer. We reserve the right to modify these limitations,
requirements and charges from time to time. On the policy anniversary nearest
the younger insured's 100th birth date, your account value in each Division of
the Variable Account will be transferred into the Guaranteed Interest Division
and no further transfers will be allowed.
ACCOUNT VALUE PROVISIONS
The account value is the sum of the current amounts allocated to the Divisions
of the Variable Account and to the Guaranteed Interest Division plus your
balance in the Loan Division.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 14
<PAGE>
The account value is based on the premiums paid, policy and rider charges
assessed, loans and withdrawals taken, monthly deductions, premium expense
charges, transaction charges, any surrender charges, and the investment
experience or credited interest of the division to which your account value is
allocated.
Your net account value is equal to your account value minus any policy loan and
accrued but unpaid loan interest.
ACCOUNT VALUES ON THE INVESTMENT DATE
The account value of each division of the Variable Account and the Guaranteed
Interest Division as of the investment date is equal to:
a) The allocation to that division of the first net premium paid;
minus
b) The portion of any monthly deductions due on the investment date allocated
to that division.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The investment experience of a division of the Variable Account is determined as
of each valuation date. We use an accumulation unit value to measure the
experience of each of the Variable Account Divisions during a valuation period.
We set the accumulation unit value at $10 on the valuation date when the first
investments in each division of the Variable Account are made. The accumulation
unit value for a valuation period equals the accumulation unit value for the
preceding valuation period multiplied by the accumulation experience factor
defined below for the valuation period.
The number of units for a given transaction related to a division of the
Variable Account as of a valuation date is determined by dividing the dollar
value of that transaction by that division's accumulation unit value for that
date.
ACCUMULATION EXPERIENCE FACTOR
For each Division of the Variable Account, the accumulation experience factor
reflects the investment experience of the portfolio in which that division
invests and the charges assessed against that division for a valuation period.
The accumulation experience factor is calculated as follows:
a) The net asset value of the portfolio in which that division invests as
of the end of the current valuation period; plus
b) The amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution declared and
reinvested in the portfolio in which that division invests during the
current valuation period; minus
c) A charge for taxes, if any.
d) The result of (a), (b) and (c) is then divided by the net asset value of
the portfolio in which that division invests as of the end of the
preceding valuation period.
e) The daily equivalent of the annual mortality and expense risk charge
shown in the Schedule for each day in the current valuation period is then
subtracted from the result obtained in (d).
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 15
<PAGE>
ACCOUNT VALUE OF THE DIVISIONS OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
On subsequent valuation dates after the investment date, your account value of
each Division of the Variable Account is calculated as follows:
a) The number of accumulation units in that division as of the beginning of
the current valuation period multiplied by that division's accumulation
unit value for the current valuation period; plus
b) Any additional net premiums allocated to that division during the current
valuation period; plus
c) Any account value transferred to or minus any account value transferred
from the Variable Division during the current valuation period (including
the applicable portion of any transfer fee); minus
d) Any partial withdrawals allocated to that division and any applicable
withdrawal service fees which are allocated to the Variable Division
during the current valuation period; plus
e) Any amounts released from the Loan Division as a result of a loan or loan
interest payment, or minus amounts transferred to the Loan Division as a
result of any loans which are allocated to the Variable Division during
the current valuation period; minus
f) The portion of any surrender charge resulting from a decrease in stated
death benefit allocated to the division; minus
g) The portion of the monthly deduction allocated to the Variable Division,
if a monthly processing date occurs during the current valuation period.
ACCOUNT VALUE OF THE GUARANTEED INTEREST DIVISION
On valuation dates after the investment date, your account value of the
Guaranteed Interest Division is calculated as follows:
a) The account value of the Guaranteed Interest Division at the end of the
preceding valuation period plus interest at the declared rate credited
during the current valuation period; plus
b) Any additional net premiums allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division
plus interest credited to these premiums during the current valuation
period; plus
c) Any account value transferred to or minus any account value transferred
from the Guaranteed Interest Division during the current valuation period
(including the applicable portion of any transfer fee); minus
d) Any partial withdrawals taken and any applicable withdrawal service fees
which are allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division during the current
valuation period; plus
e) Any amounts released from the Loan Division as a result of a loan or loan
interest payment, or minus amounts transferred to the Loan Division as a
result of any loans which are allocated to the Guaranteed Interest
Division during the current valuation period; minus
f) The portion of any surrender charge resulting from a decrease in stated
death benefit allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Division; minus
g) The portion of the monthly deduction allocated to the division, if a
monthly processing date occurs during the current valuation period.
Form 2504 (JTVUL0-8/99
Page 16
<PAGE>
ACCOUNT VALUE OF THE LOAN DIVISION
On valuation dates after the investment date, your account value of the Loan
Division is equal to:
a) The account value of the Loan Division on the prior valuation date;
plus
b) Any interest credited to the Loan Division during the valuation period;
plus
c) An amount equal to any additional loans since the prior valuation date;
minus
d) Any loan repayments, including payment of loan interest in cash; plus
e) The amount of accrued loan interest if the valuation date is a policy
anniversary; minus
f) The amount of interest credited to the Loan Division during the year if
the valuation date is a policy anniversary.
On policy anniversaries, any amount of interest credited to the Loan Division
during the year is transferred from the Loan Division to the Variable Account
and Guaranteed Interest Division according to your premium allocation then in
effect.
MONTHLY DEDUCTION AND REFUND
MONTHLY DEDUCTION The monthly deduction is equal to:
a) The cost of insurance charges for this policy; plus
b) The monthly charges for any other additional benefits provided by riders
in force under the policy; plus
c) The monthly expense charges shown in the Schedule;
d) The charge for the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit option; if elected
e) The policyholder transaction charges as described in the Schedule.
The monthly deductions are allocated to the divisions of the Variable Account
and Guaranteed Interest Division as described in the prospectus in effect at the
time of the transaction. This deduction is taken from your account value as of
the monthly processing date. After the policy anniversary nearest the younger
insured's 100th birth date no further monthly deductions will be made, except
policy transaction charges incurred after this date.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 17
<PAGE>
COST OF INSURANCE
The cost of insurance for the policy is the sum of the cost of insurance for all
segments. A segment's cost of insurance is the cost of insurance rate for the
premium class for the segment multiplied by the net amount at risk allocated to
the segment. It is determined on a monthly basis.
The net amount at risk is (a) minus (b) where:
a) Is the base death benefit for all segments as of the monthly processing
date after the monthly deductions (other than cost of insurance charges for
the base death benefit, any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider and any Single
Life Term Insurance Rider), divided by the result of 1 plus the monthly
equivalent of the guaranteed interest rate for the Guaranteed Interest
Division as shown in the Schedule; and
b) Is your account value as of the monthly processing date after the monthly
deductions (other than the cost of insurance charges for the base death
benefit, any Adjustable Term Insurance Rider and any Single Life Term
Insurance Rider).
The net amount at risk will be allocated to a segment in the same proportion as
that segment's stated death benefit bears to the sum of the stated death
benefits for all segments.
The cost of insurance rate for each segment will be determined by us from time
to time. Different rates will apply to each segment. They will be based on the
sex and age of each of the insureds as of the effective date of segment
coverage, the duration since the coverage began and the segment premium classes.
Any change in rates will apply to all individuals of the same premium class and
whose policies have been in effect for the same length of time. The rates will
never exceed those rates shown in the Table of Guaranteed Rates for the segment.
These tables are in the Schedule.
PERSISTENCY REFUND
We will calculate a monthly persistency refund by multiplying the monthly
persistency refund factor times the account value allocated to the Loan Division
and Divisions of the Variable Account. The persistency refund factor is shown in
the Schedule. We may increase this persistency refund by an amount based on the
amount in the Guaranteed Interest Division.
Beginning with the first month of policy year 11 and each month thereafter, we
will credit the net account value held in the Divisions of the Variable Account
and in the Guaranteed Interest Division with a persistency refund. The monthly
persistency refund will be allocated to the divisions of the Variable Account
and the Guaranteed Interest Division in the same proportion that your account
value in each division bears to your net account value as of the monthly
processing date.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 18
<PAGE>
LOAN PROVISIONS
POLICY LOANS
You may obtain a policy loan on or after the first monthly processing date. The
maximum amount you may borrow at any time equals the net cash surrender value on
the date of the loan request less all monthly deductions to the next policy
anniversary. The policy loan is a first lien on your policy. The minimum amount
you may borrow is shown in the Schedule. The outstanding policy loan amount is
equal to the loan amount as of the beginning of the policy year plus new loans
and minus loan repayments, plus accrued interest.
LOAN INTEREST
The annual policy loan interest rate is shown in the Schedule. If a loan is
made, interest is due and payable at the end of the policy year. Thereafter,
interest on the loan amount is due annually at the end of each policy year until
the loan is repaid. If interest is not paid when due, it is added to the policy
loan.
If the policy loan amount and any accrued interest equals or exceeds the cash
surrender value, a premium sufficient to keep this policy in force must be paid
as provided in the Grace Period provision.
LOAN DIVISION
When a policy loan is taken or when interest is not paid in cash when due, an
amount equal to the loan or unpaid loan interest respectively, is transferred
from the Divisions of the Variable Account and the Guaranteed Interest Division
to the Loan Division to secure the loan. This amount will be deducted from the
Divisions of the Variable Account and the Guaranteed Interest Division in the
same proportion that your account value in each division bears to your net
account value as of the date the transfer is effective unless otherwise
specified in your instructions to us. Your account value in the Loan Division
will be credited with interest at the interest rate for the Loan Division shown
in the Schedule.
When a loan repayment is made, an amount equal to the repayment is transferred
from the Loan Division to the Guaranteed Interest Division and the Divisions of
the Variable Account in the same proportion as your current premium allocation
unless you request a different allocation in writing.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
You may apply for a partial withdrawal from your account value on any monthly
processing date after the first policy anniversary by writing to us at our
Customer Service Center. The minimum and maximum partial withdrawal amounts are
shown in the Schedule. When a partial withdrawal is made, the amount of the
withdrawal plus a service fee is deducted from your account value. The amount of
the service fee is shown in the Schedule. We limit the number of partial
withdrawals in a policy year. This number is shown in the Schedule.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 19
<PAGE>
The stated death benefit is reduced by the amount of the partial withdrawal
unless one of the following exceptions applies.
The stated death benefit is not reduced by a partial withdrawal taken when the
base death benefit has been increased to qualify your policy as life insurance
under the Internal Revenue Code and the amount withdrawn is not greater than
that which reduces your account value to the level which no longer requires the
base death benefit to be increased for Internal Revenue Code purposes.
For a policy under an Option 1 death benefit, the stated death benefit is not
reduced by a partial withdrawal:
a) If no more than 15 years have elapsed since the policy date;
b) If the joint equivalent age is not yet age 81; and
c) If the partial withdrawal taken is less than the greater of 10% of your
account value or 5% of the stated death benefit, calculated immediately
before the partial withdrawal. Any additional amount withdrawn reduces your
stated death benefit by that additional amount.
For a policy under an Option 2 death benefit, a partial withdrawal does not
reduce your stated death benefit.
If the stated death benefit is reduced by a partial withdrawal during the first
9 years following the policy date or following an increase in the stated death
benefit, a surrender charge will be deducted from your account value.
(See your Surrender Charges provision.)
Any reduction in death benefit or account value will occur as of the date the
partial withdrawal occurs.
We will limit the amount of the partial withdrawal such that, immediately after
the requested withdrawal:
a) The stated death benefit is at least $250,000 if there is no adjustable
term insurance on the policy.
b) If there is adjustable term insurance on the policy, the stated death
benefit is at least $100,000 and the target death benefit is at least
$250,000.
You may specify how much of the withdrawal you wish taken from each division of
the Variable Account or from the Guaranteed Interest Division. You may not
withdraw from the Guaranteed Interest Division more than the total withdrawal
times the ratio of your account value in the Guaranteed Interest Division to
your net account value immediately prior to the withdrawal. Unless you indicate
otherwise, we will make the withdrawal from the amounts in the Guaranteed
Interest Division and the Divisions of the Variable Account in the same
proportion that your account value in each division bears to your net account
value immediately prior to the withdrawal. The withdrawal service fee and any
surrender charge deducted from your account value are deducted from each
Variable Division and the Guaranteed Interest Division as described in the
prospectus in effect at the time of the transaction.
We may send you a new Schedule to reflect the effect of the withdrawal if there
is any change to the stated death benefit and surrender charges. We may ask you
to return your policy to our Customer Service Center to make this change. The
withdrawal and the reductions in death benefits will be effective as of the
valuation date after we receive your request.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 20
<PAGE>
SURRENDER PROVISIONS
SURRENDER VALUE
The net cash surrender value on any date will be your account value minus any
applicable surrender charge and minus any policy loan including accrued but
unpaid loan interest.
SURRENDER CHARGES
A separate surrender charge will apply to each stated death benefit segment for
each policy year. The surrender charge for this policy is the sum of the
surrender charge for each segment of stated death benefit. The surrender charge
is shown in the Schedule.
Upon a decrease in the stated death benefit, a portion of the surrender charge
will be deducted from your account value; unless the stated death benefit is
decreased because the death benefit option is changed.
The amount we deduct will equal the applicable surrender charge for the policy
year of the decrease times the percentage reduction in the stated death benefit.
The surrender charges after the decrease will equal the surrender charges shown
in the Schedule less the amount deducted from your account value. If the amount
deducted from your account value causes your net cash surrender value to become
zero or less, you may enter the grace period. (See Grace Period provision.)
We will send you a new Schedule to reflect the effect of any transaction that
changes the stated death benefit or the surrender charges.
BASIS OF COMPUTATIONS
The cash surrender value under the policy is not less than the minimums required
as of the policy date by the state in which your policy was delivered. A
detailed statement of the method of computation of policy values under the
policy has been filed with the insurance department of the state in which the
policy was delivered, if required.
FULL SURRENDERS
You may surrender your policy after the Right to Examine Period or at any time
before the second death and receive the net cash surrender value. We will
compute the net cash surrender value as of the next valuation date after we
receive both your request and the policy at our Customer Service Center. This
policy will be canceled as of the date we receive your request, and there will
be no further benefits under this policy. Once you surrender this policy, it
cannot be reinstated.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 21
<PAGE>
GRACE PERIOD, TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT PROVISIONS
GRACE PERIOD
If the following three conditions occur on a monthly processing date, the policy
will enter into a 61-day grace period:
a) The net cash surrender value is zero or less; and
b) The special continuation period described below has expired or the
required premium for the special continuation period has not been paid;
and
c) The guarantee period described below was not elected, has expired or been
terminated.
We will give you a 61-day grace period from this monthly processing date to make
the required premium payment. The required premium payment then due must be
paid to keep the policy in force. If this amount is not received in full by the
end of the grace period, the policy will lapse without value. The required
premium payment will be equal to past due charges plus an amount we expect to be
sufficient to keep the policy and any riders in force for 2 months following
receipt of the required premium payment. If we receive at least the required
premium payment during the grace period, we will make deductions from the net
premium payment for the past due amounts and apply any remaining amount as
premium to the policy.
Notice of the amount of the required premium payment will be mailed to you or
any assignee at the last known address at least 30 days before the end of the
grace period. If the second death occurs during the grace period, we will deduct
any overdue monthly charges from the death proceeds of the policy.
SPECIAL CONTINUATION PERIOD
During the first 5 policy years your policy will remain in force regardless of
the net cash surrender value if, on a monthly processing date, the sum of your
premiums paid minus the sum of your partial withdrawals, policy loans and
accrued but unpaid policy loan interest is not less than the sum of the
applicable minimum monthly premiums for each policy month starting with the
first policy month to and including the policy month which begins on the current
monthly processing date. Each minimum monthly premium equals 1/12 of the minimum
annual premium. The minimum annual premium is shown in the Schedule. We use this
premium for each policy month until the effective date of a change in the stated
death benefit. If there is a change, the new Schedule will show the applicable
minimum annual premium for subsequent policy years during the 5-year period.
If, during the first 5 policy years, any charges are not deducted in order to
keep the policy from lapsing under the special continuation period, these
charges are not permanently waived. At the end of the special continuation
period, the aggregate amount of the charges not previously deducted will be due
and will be deducted from your account value at the beginning of policy year
six. Once the continuation feature has terminated, it cannot be reinstated.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 22
<PAGE>
GUARANTEE PERIOD
If you elect the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit option, the policy will not
terminate during the guarantee period even if the net account value is zero
except as provided below. When your policy is kept in force under this option,
all riders will terminate.
Each monthly guarantee period premium equals 1/12 of the guarantee period annual
premium. The guarantee period annual premium is shown in the Schedule. We use
this premium for each policy year until the effective date of a change in the
stated death benefit. If there is a change, a new Schedule will show the
applicable minimum guarantee period annual premium for subsequent policy years.
The guarantee period will expire on the policy anniversary nearest the younger
insured's 100th birth date. The guarantee period will terminate prior to the
guarantee period expiration date if, on any monthly processing date, the actual
premiums paid (minus the amount of any partial withdrawals and any policy loan
including accrued but unpaid interest) are less than the sum of the guarantee
monthly premiums for each policy month starting with the first policy month to,
and including, the policy month that begins on the current monthly processing
date.
The guarantee period will also terminate if your account value, on any monthly
processing date, is not diversified. Diversification requires that no more than
35% of your net account value is invested in any one division, and that your net
account value is invested in at least 5 divisions.
You will satisfy these diversification requirements if: (i) you are
participating in the automatic rebalancing feature defined in and governed by
the policy prospectus in effect on the policy effective date and your automatic
rebalancing allocations comply with the diversifications specified above; or
(ii) you elect dollar cost averaging and direct the resulting transfers into at
least four other divisions with no more than 35% of any transfer being to any
one division.
If, at the end of the guarantee period, the net account value of your policy is
negative, your policy will terminate without value. The charge for this option
is shown in the Schedule.
TERMINATION
All coverage provided by this policy will end as of the earliest of:
a) The date the policy is surrendered;
b) The date of the second death; or
c) The date the grace period ends without payment of the required premium.
REINSTATEMENT
The policy and its riders may be reinstated within five years after the
beginning of the grace period. The reinstatement will be effective as of the
monthly processing date on or next following the date we approve your written
application.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/9923
Page 23
<PAGE>
We will reinstate the policy and any riders if the following conditions are met:
a) You have not surrendered the policy for its net cash surrender value;
b) You submit evidence satisfactory to us that the insureds and those insured
under any riders are still insurable according to our normal rules of
underwriting for the applicable underwriting class for this type of policy;
and
c) We receive payment of the amount of premium sufficient to keep the policy
and any riders in force from the beginning of the grace period to the end
of the expired grace period and for 2 months after the date of
reinstatement. We will let you know, at the time you request reinstatement,
the amount of premium needed for this purpose.
The surrender charge as of the date of reinstatement will equal the surrender
charge as of the beginning of the grace period.
We will reinstate any policy loan, with accrued loan interest to the end of the
grace period, which existed when coverage ended.
Upon reinstatement, the net premium received minus past due amounts will be
allocated to the Divisions of the Variable Account and the Guaranteed Interest
Division according to the premium allocation percentages in effect at the start
of the grace period or as directed by you in writing at the time of
reinstatement.
DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT
Requests for transfers, withdrawals, policy loans or payment of proceeds for a
full surrender will be mailed within 7 days of receipt of the request in a form
acceptable to us. However, we may postpone the processing of any such Variable
Account transactions for any of the following reasons:
a) The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed, other than customary weekend
and holiday closings.
b) Trading on the NYSE is restricted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
c) The SEC declares that an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of
securities in the Variable Account is not reasonably practicable to
determine your account value in the divisions.
d) A governmental body having jurisdiction over the Variable Account by order
permits such suspension.
Rules and regulations of the SEC, if any, are applicable and will govern as to
whether conditions described in (b), (c), or (d) exist.
Death proceeds will be paid within 7 days of determination of the proceeds and
are not subject to deferment. We may defer for up to 6 months payment of any
surrender proceeds, withdrawal or loan amounts from the Guaranteed Interest
Division.

GENERAL POLICY PROVISIONS
THE POLICY
The policy, including the original application and applications for any
increases, decreases, riders, endorsements, any Schedule pages, and any
reinstatement applications make up the entire contract between you and us. A
copy of the original application will be attached to the policy at issue or at
delivery. A copy of any application as well as a new Schedule will be attached
or furnished to you for attachment to the policy at the time of any change in
coverage. In the absence of fraud, all statements made in any application will
be considered representations and not warranties. No statement will be used to
deny a claim unless it is in an application.
CONTRACT CHANGES
All changes made by us must be signed by our president or an officer and by our
secretary or assistant secretary. No other persons can change any of this
policy's terms and conditions.
PROCEDURES
We must receive any election, designation, assignment or any other change
request you make in writing, except those specified on the application. It must
be in a form acceptable to us. We may require a return of the policy for any
change or for a full surrender. We are not liable for any action we take before
we receive and record the written request at our Customer Service Center.
In the event of the death of an insured, please let us or our agent know as soon
as possible. This includes the first and second death. Upon notification to us
or our agent, instructions will be sent to you or the beneficiary immediately.
We may require proof of age and a certified copy of the death certificate. We
may require the beneficiary and next of kin to sign authorizations as part of
due proof. These authorization forms allow us to obtain information about the
decedent, including, but not limited to, medical records of physicians and
hospitals used by the decedent. Settlement will be made upon receipt of due
proof of death.
OWNERSHIP
The original owner is the person named as the owner in the application. You, as
the owner, can exercise all rights and receive the benefits until the second
death. This includes the right to change the owner, beneficiaries, and methods
for the payment of proceeds. All rights of the owner are subject to the rights
of any assignee and any irrevocable beneficiary.
You may name a new owner by sending written notice to us. The effective date of
the change to the new owner will be the date you sign the notice. The change
will not affect any payment made or action taken by us before recording the
change at our Customer Service Center.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 25
<PAGE>
BENEFICIARIES
The primary beneficiary surviving the second death will receive any death
proceeds which become payable. Surviving contingent beneficiaries are paid death
proceeds only if no primary beneficiary has survived the second death. If more
than one beneficiary in a class survives the second death, they will share the
death proceeds equally, unless your designation provides otherwise. If there is
no designated beneficiary surviving, you or your estate will be paid the death
proceeds. The beneficiary designation will be on file with us or at a location
designated by us. Until the second death, you may name a new beneficiary. The
effective date of the change will be the date the request was signed. We will
pay proceeds to the most recent beneficiary designation on file. We will not be
subject to multiple payments.
EXCHANGE RIGHT
If, for any reason within the first 2 policy years you want to exchange this
policy for a policy in which values do not vary with the investment experience
of the Variable Account, we will exchange this policy. This transfer will not be
subject to the excess transfer charge. The exchange will be implemented by
transferring your account value in all the Divisions of the Variable Account to
the Guaranteed Interest Division and removing your future right to choose to
allocate funds to the Divisions of the Variable Account. We will require a
return of this policy before this change will be processed.
POLICY SPLIT
This benefit is available unless either insured is rated 10.0 times the standard
premium class, or higher. Any rating is shown on the Segment Benefit Profile
page of the Schedule. If this benefit is available, you may exchange this policy
for two individual policies, upon the occurrence of at least one of the
contingent events listed below. The exchange must be to two single whole life or
flexible premium universal life policies of the kind made available by us for
exchange. One policy will be on Insured #1 and the other policy will be on
Insured #2. No evidence of insurability will be required.
On the effective date of the exchange, you must split the available death
benefit provided by this policy between the two single life policies. The
maximum you may allocate to each single life policy is 50% of the available
death benefit. The sum of the face amounts of two single life policies cannot
exceed the available death benefit; however, there is no requirement that the
maximum available amount on each life be used. The available death benefit is
the amount of base death benefit plus any term insurance provided by the
Adjustable Term Insurance Rider on the effective date of the exchange.
The policy split may be exercised upon the occurrence of any of the following
contingent events:
a) Three months following the effective date of a final divorce decree with
respect to the marriage of the insureds.
b) The effective date of a change to Federal Estate Tax Law which results in
either:
1) Removal of the unlimited marital deduction provision; or
2) A reduction in the current maximum Federal Estate Tax or at least 50%
after the policy effective date.
c) The effective date of a dissolution of any business which is being
conducted or owned by the two insureds covered under this policy at the
time this policy is issued.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 26
<PAGE>
You must send us written notice of your election to split the policy within 180
days following the occurrence of any contingent event. Your notice must provide
satisfactory evidence to us that the contingent event has occurred. The
insurance under the two individual policies will start on the effective date of
the exchange only if both insureds are alive on the effective date of the
exchange. The new policies will not provide any insurance until such time. If
either insured is not alive on that date, the exchange shall be void.
The effective date of the exchange will be the first monthly processing date
after we have approved the exchange.
The premiums under each new policy will be based on each insured's attained age
and premium class at the time of the split. Premiums will be due for each new
policy in accordance with the terms of the new policy as of the effective date
of the exchange. The surrender value of the old policies will be allocated to
the new policies in the same proportion that the face amount was divided between
the two policies unless we agree to a different allocation. Such allocation will
be made to each new policy on the effective date of the exchange. If such
allocation would cause an increase in the face amount of the new policy, we
reserve the right to limit the amount of surrender value that may be applied to
the new policies. Any remaining surrender value will be paid to you in cash.
Any loan on the policy will be divided and transferred to each new policy in the
same proportion as the cash value is apportioned. Any remaining outstanding loan
balance must be paid in cash prior to the effective date of the exchange. Any
assignee must agree to the exchange. Any assignment of the policy will apply to
each new policy.
If there is a Single Life Term Insurance Rider on the original policy on the
date of the exchange, you may have a term insurance rider insuring that life on
the new policy if such a rider is available on the new policy. The amount of the
insurance cannot be more than the amount under the Single Life Term Insurance
Rider on that life under the original policy. Any other riders on the new
policies are subject to availability and satisfactory evidence of insurability.
This policy provision ends on the earliest of:
a) The policy anniversary nearest the younger insured's 100th birth date;
or
b) The death of the first of the two insureds; or c) The expiration of the
grace period of the policy; or d) The termination or surrender of the
policy.
COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
You may assign this policy as collateral security by written notice to us. Once
it is recorded with us, the rights of the owner and beneficiary are subject to
the assignment. It is your responsibility to make sure the assignment is valid.
INCONTESTABILITY
After this policy has been in force while both insureds are alive for 2 years
from the policy date, we will not contest the statements in the application
attached at issue.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 27
<PAGE>
After this policy has been in force while both insureds are alive for 2 years
from the effective date of any new segment or from the effective date of an
increase in any other benefit, we will not contest the statements in the
application for the new segment or other increase.
After this policy has been in force while both insureds are alive for 2 years
from the effective date of any reinstatement, we will not contest the statements
in the application for such reinstatement.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If either insured's age or sex has been misstated, the death benefit will be
adjusted. The death benefit will be that which the cost of insurance, which was
deducted from your Account Value on the last monthly processing date prior to
the second death of the two insureds, would have purchased for the insured's
correct age and sex. If the death benefit adjustment is made prior to the second
death, the adjusted benefit will be to an equitable amount determined by us.
This adjustment will reflect the death benefit for the correct age or sex.
SUICIDE EXCLUSION
If either insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within 2 years of the
policy date, we will make a limited payment to the beneficiary. We will pay in
one sum the amount of all premiums paid to us during that time, minus any
outstanding policy loan (including accrued but unpaid interest) and partial
withdrawals. If either insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within 2
years of the effective date of a new segment or of an increase in any other
benefit, we will make a limited payment to the beneficiary for the new segment
or other increase. This payment will equal the cost of insurance and any
applicable monthly expense charges deducted for such increase. Coverage under
the policy and all riders then terminate.
PERIODIC REPORTS
We will send you, without charge, at least once each year a report that shows
the current account value, cash surrender value and premiums paid since the last
report. The report will also show the allocation of your account value as of the
date of the report and the amounts added to or deducted from your account value
of each division since the last report. The report will include any other
information that may be currently required by the insurance supervisory official
of the jurisdiction in which this policy is delivered.
ILLUSTRATION OF BENEFITS AND VALUES
We will send you, upon written request, a hypothetical illustration of future
death benefits and account values. This illustration will include the
information as required by the laws or regulations where this policy is
delivered. If you request more than one illustration during a policy year, we
reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for each additional illustration.
The maximum amount of this fee is shown in the Schedule.

NONPARTICIPATING
The policy does not participate in our surplus earnings.
CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER
Our Customer Service Center is at the address shown in the Schedule. Unless you
are otherwise notified:
a) All requests and payments should be sent to us at our Customer
Service Center; and
b) All transactions are effective as of the valuation date the required
information is received at our Customer Service Center.
PAYOUTS OTHER THAN AS ONE SUM
ELECTION
Before the second death, you may elect to have the beneficiary receive the
proceeds other than in one sum. If you have not made an election, the
beneficiary may do so within 60 days after we receive due proof satisfactory to
us of the second death. You may also elect to take the net cash surrender value
of the policy upon its surrender other than in one sum. Satisfactory written
request must be received at our Customer Service Center before payment can be
made. A payee that is not a natural person may not be named without our consent.
The various methods of settlement are described in the following Payout Options
section.
PAYOUT OPTIONS
OPTION I. PAYOUTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD. Payouts will be made in 1, 2, 4,
or 12 installments per year as elected for a designated period, which may be
5 to 30 years. The installment dollar amounts will be equal except for any
excess interest as described below. The amount of the first monthly payout
for each $1,000 of account value applied is shown in Settlement Option Table
I.
OPTION II. LIFE INCOME WITH PAYOUTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD. Payouts will be
made in 1, 2, 4, or 12 installments per year throughout the payee's lifetime,
or if longer, for a period of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years as elected. The
installment dollar amounts will be equal except for any excess interest as
described below. The amount of the first monthly payout for each $1,000 of
account value applied is shown in Settlement Option Table II. This option is
available only for ages shown in the table.
Payouts for Payout Option II will be determined by using the 1983 Individual
Annuity Mortality Table for the appropriate sex at 3 ½% interest.
OPTION III. HOLD AT INTEREST. Amounts may be left on deposit with us
to be paid upon the death of the payee or at any earlier date elected.
Interest on any unpaid balance will be at the rate declared by us or at
any higher rate required by law. Interest may be accumulated or paid in
1, 2, 4, or 12 installments per year, as elected. Money may not be left
on deposit for more than 30 years.
Form 2504 (JVUL)-8/99
Page 29
<PAGE>
OPTION IV. PAYOUTS OF A DESIGNATED AMOUNT. Payouts will be made until
proceeds, together with interest which will be at the rate declared by us
or at any higher rate required by law, are exhausted. Payouts will be made
in 1, 2, 4, or 12 equal installments per year, as elected.
OPTION V. OTHER. Settlement may be made in any other manner as agreed
upon in writing between you (or the beneficiary) and us.
CHANGE AND WITHDRAWAL
You may change an election at any time before the second death. If you have
given the beneficiary the right to make changes or withdrawals, or if the
beneficiary has elected the option, the beneficiary (as primary payee) may take
the actions below.
a) Changes may be made from Payout Options I, III, and IV to another option.
b) Full withdrawals may be made under Payout Option III or IV. Partial
withdrawals of not less than $300 may be made under Payout Option III.
c) Remaining installments under Payout Option I may be commuted at 3½%
interest and received in one sum.
d) Changes in any contingent payee designation may be made.
A written request must be sent to our Customer Service Center in writing to make
a change or withdrawal. We also may require that you send in the supplementary
policy. We may defer payment of commuted and withdrawable amounts for a period
up to 6 months.
EXCESS INTEREST
If we declare that Payout Options are to be credited with an interest rate above
that guaranteed, it will apply to Payout Options I, II, III, and IV. The
crediting of excess interest for one period does not guarantee the higher rate
for other periods. Any declared interest rate will be in effect for at least 12
months.
MINIMUM AMOUNTS
The minimum amount which may be applied under any option is $2,000. If the
payments to the payee are ever less than $20, we may change the frequency of
payments so as to result in payments of at least that amount.
SUPPLEMENTARY POLICY
When a payout option becomes effective, the policy will be surrendered in
exchange for a supplementary policy. It will provide for the manner of
settlement and rights of the payees. The supplementary policy's effective date
will be the date of the second death or the date of other settlement. The first
payment under Options I, II, and IV will be payable as of the effective date.
The first interest payment under Option III will be made as of the end of the
interest payment period elected. Subsequent payments will be made in accordance
with the frequency of payment elected. The supplementary policy may not be
assigned or payments made to another without our consent.
Form 2504 (JTVUL)-8/99
Page 30
<PAGE>
INCOME PROTECTION
Unless otherwise provided in the election, a payee does not have the right to
commute, transfer or encumber amounts held or installments to become payable. To
the extent provided by law, the proceeds, amount retained, and installments are
not subject to any payee's debts, policies, or engagements.
DEATH OF PRIMARY PAYEE
Upon the primary payee's death, any payments certain under Option I or II,
interest payments under Option III, or payments under Option IV will be
continued to the contingent payee; or, amounts may be released in one sum if
permitted by the policy. The final payee will be the estate of the last to die
of the primary payee and any contingent payee.
PAYMENTS OTHER THAN MONTHLY
The tables that follow show monthly installments for Options I and II. To arrive
at annual, semiannual, or quarterly payments, multiply the appropriate figures
by 11.813, 5.957 or 2.991 respectively. Factors for other periods certain or for
other options that may be provided by mutual agreement will be provided upon
reasonable request.

EXHIBIT 1.A (5)(b)
ADJUSTABLE TERM INSURANCE RIDER
This rider is a part of the policy to which it is attached if this rider is
shown in the Schedule. This rider must be read with all policy provisions.
This rider does not participate in our surplus earnings. The insureds under
this rider are Insured #1 and Insured #2 listed in the Schedule. This rider
has no loan value. There is no surrender charge applicable to this rider.
The rider effective date is the policy date or, if added later, the monthly
processing date on or next following the date your application for this rider
is approved by us. The owner of the policy is the owner of this rider.
THE DEATH BENEFIT. Subject to this rider's terms, we will pay the term death
benefit in force on the date of the second death of the two insureds. This
benefit is payable to the beneficiary.
The amount of term death benefit is the difference between the total benefit
and the base death benefit provided by the policy. Total death benefit
depends on which death benefit option is in effect.
Option 1: If option 1 is in effect, the total death benefit is
the greater of
(a) The target death benefit; or
(b) The account value multiplied by the appropriate
factor from the Death Benefit Factors shown in
the Schedule.
Option 2: If option 2 is in effect, the total death benefit is
the greater of:
(a) The target death benefit plus the account value; or
(b) The account value multiplied by the appropriate
factor from the Death Benefit Factors shown in
the Schedule.
In no event will the term death benefit be less than zero. It is also not
increased or decreased by policy loan activity.
The target death benefit is shown in the Schedule attached to your policy. It
may be a constant amount or it may change at the beginning of a policy year.
The target death benefit may be reduced if there is a partial withdrawal.
If a partial withdrawal reduces the stated death benefit, the target death
benefit for the current year and all future years will be reduced by an amount
equal to the reduction in the stated death benefit. You will receive a new
Schedule reflecting the new target death benefit. See your policy for
details. The stated death benefit is defined in your policy.
Any requested decrease in the stated death benefit in the policy will
eliminate any future scheduled increases in the target death benefit. We may
choose not to eliminate these increases upon submission of evidence
satisfactory to us that the insureds are still insurable according to our
normal rules of underwriting for their current premium classes.
COST OF INSURANCE. The cost of insurance for this rider is determined on a
monthly basis. The cost is added to the policy's monthly deduction from the
account value as of each monthly processing date until this rider terminates.
The cost of insurance rates will be determined by us from time to time. They
will be based on the issue ages and premium classes of the insureds as well as
the duration since the rider effective date. The cost of insurance for this
rider is calculated as the monthly cost of insurance rate multiplied by the
death benefit (in thousands) for this rider. The monthly guaranteed maximum
cost of insurance rates per $1,000 for this rider are shown in the Schedule on
the applicable table of guaranteed rates attached to your policy.
R2003 8/99
<PAGE>
INCONTESTABILITY. After this rider has been in force while both insureds are
alive for two years from the rider effective date, we will not contest the
statements in the application for this rider attached at the time the rider is
issued.
After this rider has been in force while both insureds are alive for two years
from the effective date of any increase in the amount of insurance, we will
not contest the statements in the application for the increase.
After this rider has been in force while both insureds are alive for two years
from the effective date of any reinstatement of this rider, we will not
contest the statements in the application for such reinstatement of this
rider.
SUICIDE EXCLUSION. If the policy terminates for suicide, this rider will then
terminate without value.
If either insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of
the rider effective date and the policy is not terminated due to this suicide,
we will terminate this rider and make a limited payment to the beneficiary for
the increase. We will pay in one sum the amount of the cost of insurance for
this rider which was deducted from the policy.
If either insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of
the effective date of an increase and the policy is not terminated due to this
suicide, we will terminate the increase and pay the cost of insurance
associated with the increase.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX. If either insured's age or sex has been
misstated, the death benefit will be adjusted. The death benefit will be that
which the cost of insurance which was deducted from the policy value on the
last monthly processing date prior to the second death would have purchased
for the insured's correct age or sex. If the death benefit adjustment is made
prior to the second death, the adjusted benefit will be to an equitable amount
determined by us. The adjustment will reflect the death benefit for the
correct age or sex.
CHANGE IN AMOUNT OF COVERAGE. On any policy anniversary after the first rider
anniversary, the target death benefit under this rider may be changed. The
target death benefit may be increased or decreased by sending a written
request to our Customer Service Center. Any request for increased death
benefits will automatically be an increase to the stated death benefit as well
as to the target death benefit unless you specifically request an increase
only to the target death benefit. You may increase or decrease the target
death benefit only once each policy year. You may not increase insurance
coverage provided by this rider after attained joint equivalent age 85. Any
change in coverage may not be for an amount less than $1,000. Such change is
subject to the following conditions:
a) Any requested decrease in target death benefit is subject to our
approval. Our approval may be conditioned on eliminating any future
scheduled increases to the target death benefit.
b) Any request for an increase must be applied for on a supplemental
application. The increase is subject to evidence satisfactory to us
that the insureds are still insurable according to our normal rules of
underwriting for their current premium classes for this type of rider.
If there is no change in premium class, the increase will be processed.
c) For any increase or addition to coverage, the effective date will be the
monthly processing date that falls on or next follows the date the
supplemental application is approved by us. For any decrease in coverage,
the effective date will be the monthly processing date that falls on or
next follows receipt of the written request to reduce coverage.
For any change in coverage, a supplemental Schedule will be issued.
R2003-8/99

TERMINATION. This rider will terminate on the earliest of the following
dates:
a) Expiration of the grace period of the policy.
b) Termination or surrender of the policy.
c) Receipt by us of a written request from you to cancel this rider on any
monthly processing date.
d) Policy anniversary nearest the younger insured's 100th birthdate.
Any deduction for the cost of insurance after termination of this rider will
not be considered a reinstatement of this rider nor a waiver by us of the
termination. Any such deduction will be credited to the account value of the
policy as of the date of the deduction.
REINSTATEMENT. If you reinstate your policy under the Reinstatement provision
in the policy, this rider will be reinstated.

EXHIBIT 1.A (5)(d)
SINGLE LIFE TERM INSURANCE RIDER
(This rider covers the life of Insured #2 only.)
This rider is a part of the policy to which it is attached if the rider is
shown in the Schedule. This rider must be read with all policy provisions.
This rider does not participate in our surplus earnings. The insured under
this rider is Insured #1 listed in the Schedule. This rider has no loan
value. There is no surrender charge applicable to this rider. The rider
effective date is the policy date or, if added later, the monthly processing
date on or next following the date your application for this rider is approved
by us.
THE DEATH BENEFIT. Subject to this rider's terms, we will pay the term death
benefit in force on the date of Insured #2's death. We will pay the proceeds
to the beneficiary. The term death benefit amount for this rider is shown in
the Schedule attached to the policy. The term death benefit may change at the
beginning of each policy year.
COST OF INSURANCE. The cost of insurance for this rider is determined on a
monthly basis. The cost is added to the policy's monthly deduction from the
account value as of each monthly processing date until this rider terminates.
The cost of insurance rates will be determined by us from time to time. They
will be based on the issue age and premium class of the insured as well as the
duration since the rider effective date. The cost of insurance for this rider
is calculated as the monthly cost of insurance rate multiplied by the death
benefit (in thousands) for this rider.
The monthly guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates per $1,000 for this
rider are shown in the Schedule on the applicable table of guaranteed rates
attached to your policy.
OWNER. The owner of this policy is the owner of this rider.
INCONTESTABILITY. After this rider has been in force while the insured is
alive for two years from the policy date, we will not contest the statements
in the application for this rider attached at the time this rider is issued.
After this rider has been in force while the insured is alive for two years
from the effective date of any increase in the amount of insurance, we will
not contest the statements in the application for such increase.
After this rider has been in force while the insured is alive for two years
from the effective date of any reinstatement of this rider, we will not
contest the statements in the application for such reinstatement of this
rider.
R2005-8/99
<PAGE>
SUICIDE. If the policy terminates for suicide, this rider will then terminate
without value.
If the insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the
rider effective date and the policy is not terminated due to this suicide, we
will terminate this rider and make a limited payment to the beneficiary. We
will pay in one sum the amount of the cost of insurance for this rider which
was deducted from the policy value. This rider will then terminate.
If the insured commits suicide within 2 years of the effective date of an
increase and the policy is not terminated due to this suicide, we will
terminate the increase and pay the cost of insurance associated with the
increase.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX. If the insured's age or sex has been misstated,
any amount payable by us will be adjusted. The death benefit will be that
which the cost of insurance which was deducted from the policy value on the
last monthly processing date prior to the second death would have purchased
for the insured's correct age or sex. IF THE DEATH BENEFIT ADJUSTMENT IS MADE
PRIOR TO THE SECOND DEATH, THE ADJUSTED DEATH BENEFIT WILL BE TO AN EQUITABLE
AMOUNT DETERMINED BY US.
CHANGE IN AMOUNT OF COVERAGE. On any policy anniversary after the first rider
anniversary, the insurance coverage under this rider may be changed. The
coverage may be increased or decreased by sending a written request to our
Customer Service Center. You may increase or decrease the coverage only once
each policy year. Any change in coverage may not be for an amount less than
$1,000. Such change is subject to the following conditions:
a) Any requested decrease in the rider death benefit is subject to our
approval. Our approval may be conditioned on eliminating any future
scheduled increases to the rider death benefit
b) The amount of coverage under this rider in effect after any requested
decrease may not be less than $1,000.
c) Any request for an increase must be applied for on a supplemental
application. The increase is subject to evidence satisfactory to us that
the insured is still insurable according to our normal rules of
underwriting for the applicable premium class for this type of policy. An
increase will be subject to the existence of sufficient surrender value to
cover the monthly deduction for the next two months.
d) For any increase or addition to coverage, the effective date will be the
monthly processing date that falls on or next follows the date the
supplemental application is approved by us. For any decrease in coverage,
the effective date will be the monthly processing date that falls on or
next follows receipt of the written request to reduce coverage. For any
change in coverage, a supplemental Schedule page will be issued.
R2005-8/99
Page 2
<PAGE>
DECREASE IN STATED DEATH BENEFIT. Any requested decrease in the stated death
benefit in the policy shall eliminate any future scheduled increases in the
rider death benefit. We may choose not to eliminate these increases upon
submission of evidence satisfactory to us that the insured is still insurable
according to our normal rules of underwriting for the applicable premium class
for this rider.
TERMINATION. This rider will terminate on the earliest of the following
dates:
a) Expiration of the grace period of the policy.
b) Termination or surrender of the policy.
c) Receipt by us of a written request from you to cancel this rider on any
monthly processing date.
d) Policy anniversary nearest the younger insured?s 100th birthdate.
Any deduction for the cost of insurance after termination of this rider will
not be considered a reinstatement of this rider nor a waiver by us of the
termination. Any such deduction will be credited to the policy value of the
policy as of the date of the deduction.
REINSTATEMENT. If you reinstate your policy under the reinstatement provision
of the policy, this rider will be reinstated.

SUMMARY OF YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to promote accuracy, fairness,
and privacy of information in the files of every "Consumer Reporting Agency"
(CRA). Most CRAs are credit bureaus that gather and sell information about
you--such as if you pay your bills on time or have filed bankruptcy--to
creditors, employers, landlords, and other businesses. You can find the complete
text of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681u, at the Federal Trade Commission's
website (HTTP://WWW.FTC.GOV). The FCRA gives you specific rights as outlined
below. You may have additional rights under state law. You may contact a state
or local consumer protection agency or a state attorney general to learn those
rights.
o YOU MUST BE TOLD IF INFORMATION IN YOUR FILE HAS BEEN USED AGAINST YOU.
Anyone who uses information from a CRA to take action against you--such as
denying an application for credit, insurance, or employment--must give you
the name, address, and phone number of the CRA that provided the report.
o YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS IN YOUR FILE. At your request, a CRA must give you
the information in your file, and a list of everyone who has requested it
recently. There is no charge for the report if a company/person has taken
action against you because of information supplied by the CRA, if you
request the report within 60 days of receiving the notice of action. You
are also entitled to one free report every twelve months upon request if
you certify that (1) you are unemployed and plan to seek employment within
60 days, (2) you are on welfare, or (3) your report is inaccurate due to
fraud. Otherwise, a CRA may charge you a fee of up to eight dollars.
o YOU CAN DISPUTE INACCURATE INFORMATION WITH THE CRA. If you tell a CRA that
your file contains inaccurate information, the CRA must reinvestigate the
items (usually within 30 days) by presenting to its information source all
relevant evidence you submit, unless your dispute is frivolous. The source
must review your evidence and report its findings to the CRA. (The source
also must advise national CRAs--to which it has provided the data--of any
error.) The CRA must give you a written report of the investigation, and a
copy of your report if the investigation results in any changes. If the
CRAs investigation does not resolve the dispute, you may add a brief
statement to your file. The CRA must normally include a summary of your
statement in future reports. If an item is deleted or a dispute statement
is filed, you may ask that anyone who has recently received your report be
notified of the change.
o INACCURATE INFORMATION MUST BE CORRECTED OR DELETED. A CRA must remove or
correct inaccurate or unverified information from its files, usually within
30 days after you dispute it. HOWEVER, THE CRA IS NOT REQUIRED TO REMOVE
DATA FROM YOUR FILE THAT IS ACCURATE UNLESS IT IS OUTDATED (AS DESCRIBED
BELOW) OR CANNOT BE VERIFIED. If your dispute results in any change to your
report, the CRA cannot reinsert into your file a disputed item unless the
information source verifies its accuracy and completeness. In addition, the
CRA must give you a written notice telling you it has reinstated the item.
The notice must include the name, address, and phone number of the
information source.
o YOU CAN DISPUTE INACCURATE ITEMS WITH THE SOURCE OF THE INFORMATION. If you
tell anyone--such as a creditor who reports to a CRA--that you dispute an
item, they may not then report the information to a CRA without including a
notice of your dispute. In addition, once you've notified the source of the
error in writing, it may not continue to report it if it is, in fact, an
error.
o OUTDATED INFORMATION MAY NOT BE REPORTED. In most cases, a CRA may not
report negative information that is more than seven years old; ten years
for bankruptcies.
o ACCESS TO YOUR FILE IS LIMITED. A CRA may provide information about you
only to those who have a need recognized by the FCRA--usually to consider
an application you have submitted to a creditor, insurer, employer,
landlord, or other business.
o YOUR CONSENT IS REQUIRED FOR REPORTS THAT ARE PROVIDED TO EMPLOYERS, OR
REPORTS THAT CONTAIN MEDICAL INFORMATION. A CRA may not report to your
employer, or prospective employer, about you without your written consent.
A CRA may not divulge medical information about you without your consent.
o YOU MAY CHOOSE TO EXCLUDE YOUR NAME FROM CRA LISTS FOR UNSOLICITED CREDIT
AND INSURANCE OFFERS. Creditors and insurers may use file information as
the basis for sending you unsolicited offers of credit or insurance. Such
offers must include a toll-free number for you to call if you want your
name and address removed from future lists. If you call, you must be kept
off the lists for two years. If you request, complete, and return the CRA
form provided for this purpose, you must be taken off the lists
indefinitely.
o YOU MAY SEEK DAMAGES FROM VIOLATORS. You may sue a CRA or other party in
state or federal court for violations of the FCRA.
