The  following  information  is added as the fifth  sentence  under the  Section
"Annuity  Payments"  on page 26 and as the  second  sentence  under the  Section
"Assumed Interest Rate" on page 28:

     Only an assumed interest rate of 3.5% is available under Option 9.

The Section  "Option 4 - Joint and Last  Survivor"  on page 24 is deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:

     OPTION 4 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR Periodic Annuity Payments will be made during
     the lifetime of the  Annuitants.  Annuity  Payments will be made as long as
     either  Annuitant  is  living.  Upon the  death of one  Annuitant,  Annuity
     Payments continue to the surviving Annuitant at the same or a reduced level
     of 75%,  66 2/3% or 50% of Annuity  Payments as elected by the Owner at the
     time the Annuity Option is selected.  (FOR A CONTRACT  ISSUED IN CONNECTION
     WITH A QUALIFIED PLAN,  PERIODIC  ANNUITY  PAYMENTS WILL BE MADE DURING THE
     LIFE OF THE PARTICIPANT  UNDER THE PLAN. UPON THE DEATH OF THE PARTICIPANT,
     PAYMENTS  WILL BE MADE  TO THE  JOINT  ANNUITANT  DURING  HIS OR HER  LIFE.
     ANNUITY PAYMENTS WILL BE REDUCED BY THE SELECTED  PERCENTAGE,  IF ANY, ONLY
     UPON THE DEATH OF THE PARTICIPANT.)

     With respect to fixed Annuity  Payments,  the amount of the Annuity Payment
     and, with respect to variable Annuity Payments, the number of Payment Units
     used to determine the Annuity Payment is reduced, if applicable,  as of the
     first Annuity Payment  following an Annuitant's  (for Qualified  Plans, the
     participant's)  death.  In the  event of the  death of one  Annuitant,  the
     surviving  Joint  Annuitant  has the right to exercise all rights under the
     Contract,  including the right to make exchanges. It is possible under this
     Option  for only one  Annuity  Payment to be made if both  Annuitants  died
     prior to the second Annuity Payment due date, two if both died prior to the
     third Annuity  Payment due date,  etc. AS IN THE CASE OF OPTION 1, THERE IS
     NO MINIMUM NUMBER OF PAYMENTS GUARANTEED UNDER THIS OPTION.  PAYMENTS CEASE
     UPON THE DEATH OF THE LAST SURVIVING ANNUITANT, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF
     PAYMENTS RECEIVED.

The first  two  paragraphs  under  the  Section  "Option  9 - Life  Income  with
Liquidity"  on page 25 are  deleted  in their  entirety  and  replaced  with the
following:

     Monthly Annuity Payments will be made for the life of the Annuitant, or the
     Owner may elect Annuity  Payments for the life of the Annuitant and a Joint
     Annuitant,  and in both cases with a period certain of 15 years. The period
     certain  will be for a period of 10 years in the case of a Contract  issued
     in connection with a Qualified Plan if the life expectancy of the Annuitant
     or joint life expectancy of the Joint Annuitants is less than 15 years, but
     more than 10 years. In any case, the period certain may not exceed the life
     expectancy  of  the  Annuitant  or  joint  life  expectancy  of  the  Joint
     Annuitants if the Contract is issued in connection with a Qualified Plan.

     Annuity Payments under this option are guaranteed never to be less than the
     Floor  Payment  which  is  equal  to 80% of the  initial  Annuity  Payment;
     provided that the Floor Payment is adjusted in the event of a withdrawal as
     discussed under "Full and Partial  Withdrawals," page 22. The amount of the
     Annuity  Payment will remain level for 12 month intervals and will reset on
     each  anniversary of the Annuity Payout Date.  Annuity  Payments during the
     Liquidity  Period  are paid from  Account  Value and  reduce  the amount of
     Account Value  available for  withdrawal.  If Account Value  allocated to a
     Subaccount is depleted during the Liquidity  Period,  any shortfall will be
     deducted  proportionately  from those  Subaccounts that have Account Value,
     and future  annuity  payments will be based upon the  performance  of those
     Subaccounts.

     If there are Joint  Annuitants,  Annuity  Payments  will be made as long as
     either  Annuitant  is  living.  Upon the  death of one  Annuitant,  Annuity
     Payments continue to the surviving Annuitant at the same or a reduced level
     of 75%,  66 2/3% or 50% of Annuity  Payments as elected by the Owner at the
     time the Annuity Option is selected.  (FOR A CONTRACT  ISSUED IN CONNECTION
     WITH A QUALIFIED PLAN,  PERIODIC  ANNUITY  PAYMENTS WILL BE MADE DURING THE
     LIFE OF THE PARTICIPANT  UNDER THE PLAN. UPON THE DEATH OF THE PARTICIPANT,
     PAYMENTS  WILL BE MADE  TO THE  JOINT  ANNUITANT  DURING  HIS OR HER  LIFE.
     ANNUITY PAYMENTS WILL BE REDUCED BY THE SELECTED  PERCENTAGE,  IF ANY, ONLY
     UPON THE DEATH OF THE  PARTICIPANT.)  The number of  Payment  Units used to
     calculate  Annuity Payments is reduced (1) as of the Annuity Payment due at
     the close of the period  certain,  or (2) if later, as of the first Annuity
     Payment following the death of the Annuitant.
