                        SUPPLEMENT DATED MARCH 5, 1998 TO
                          PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 1997

                 IL ANNUITY AND INSURANCE CO. SEPARATE ACCOUNT I

                           VISIONARY VARIABLE ANNUITY

         This supplement is intended to be used with the prospectus dated May 1,
1997. This supplement, together with the prospectus and any supplements
previously furnished to you, constitute a current prospectus for the Visionary
Variable Annuity.

                          *        *        *        *

         Recently, IL Annuity learned that the Board of Trustees of the Van Eck
Worldwide Insurance Trust has voted to propose the closing of the Van Eck
Worldwide Balanced Portfolio (the "Balanced Portfolio"). The Van Eck Board
concluded that the Balanced Portfolio's small size, together with decision of
its investment adviser to discontinue the voluntary absorption of all expenses
of the Balanced Portfolio, will have an adverse effect on performance. This
could have the effect of further reducing assets and increasing the Balanced
Portfolio's expense ratio.

         AS A RESULT, EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 1998, IL ANNUITY IS CLOSING THE VAN ECK
WORLDWIDE BALANCED VARIABLE ACCOUNT TO TRANSFERS AND NEW PREMIUM PAYMENTS. After
that date, Contract owners will not be permitted to allocate new Premium
Payments, or transfer Contract Value, to the Van Eck Worldwide Balanced Variable
Account.

         In addition, the Van Eck Worldwide Balanced Portfolio will be deleted,
wherever listed, from any instructions you have given us regarding your premium
allocation, dollar cost averaging, automatic account balancing, or systematic
withdrawals, and we will reassign the percentages previously assigned to the
Balanced Portfolio on a pro-rata basis among the remaining Portfolios listed in
your instructions. If you want us to treat your account differently, please call
the Service Center.

         In addition, as of the date of this supplement, the Van Eck Worldwide
Hard Assets Variable Account will be an Eligible Variable Account for purposes
of calculating the Living Benefit. New allocations to the Van Eck Worldwide Hard
Assets Variable Account will be treated as Eligible Premium Payments for
purposes of calculating the Living Benefit on the Living Benefit Date, once the
new allocations have been held in that Variable Account for 10 years.

     This Prospectus describes the Visionary, a flexible premium deferred
variable annuity contract (the "Contract") being offered by IL Annuity and

retirement plans, including those that qualify for favorable federal tax
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code.
 
   
     Net Premium Payments and Contract Values will be allocated, as designated
by the Owner, to one or more of the 14 Variable Accounts of the IL Annuity and
Insurance Co. Separate Account 1 (the "Separate Account") or to the Fixed
Account (which is part of the Company's General Account and pays interest at
declared rates guaranteed to equal or exceed 3%) or to both. The assets of each
Variable Account will be invested solely in an investment portfolio
("Portfolio") of a designated mutual fund ("Fund"). Currently, there are seven
such Funds with 14 Portfolios available under this Contract:
    
 
           The Alger American Fund:
           MidCap Growth Portfolio and Small Capitalization Portfolio

     The Contract Value of the Contracts prior to the Annuity Commencement Date,
except for amounts in the Fixed Account, will vary according to the investment
performance of the Portfolios in which the selected Variable Accounts are
invested. The Owner bears the entire investment risk on amounts allocated to the
Variable Accounts.

     Premium taxes may be applicable, depending on the laws of various
jurisdictions.
 
     The purpose of these tables is to assist the Contract Owner in
understanding the costs and expenses that he or she will bear directly or
indirectly. The table reflects the actual charges and expenses for the Separate

Account and for each Portfolio for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. For
a more complete description of the various charges and expenses described in
these tables, see "Charges and Deductions" and the prospectus for each Portfolio
which accompanies this prospectus.
    
 
(1) A Withdrawal Charge is deducted only if a full or partial withdrawal occurs
    during the first nine Contract Years; no Withdrawal Charge is deducted from
    a full or partial surrender in Contract Years ten and later. Amounts subject
    to the Withdrawal Charge will be deemed to be first from Premium Payments,
    then from earnings. No Withdrawal Charge applies to Contract Value in excess
    of aggregate Premium Payments. For the first six Contract Years, the maximum
    charge is 7% of the amount withdrawn. For amounts withdrawn within the
    seventh year from the Date of Issue, the charge is 6% of the amount
    withdrawn. Thereafter, the Withdrawal Charge decreases by 2% for each
    subsequent Contract Year until it is zero in year ten. (See "Charges for
    Partial or Full Withdrawals.")
 
(2) Deduction of the Contract Fee is currently waived for all Qualified
    Contracts. The Company also currently waives deduction of the Contract Fee
    for Non-Qualified Contracts whose cumulative Premium Payments on the date
    the Contract Fee is assessed are equal to or greater than $100,000.
 
(3) Asset-based administrative charge.
 
   
(4) Total Annual Expenses for the Fidelity Index 500 Portfolio were reduced from
    0.28% to 0.24%, effective December 1, 1997.
    
 
   
(5) Other Expenses of the OCC Accumulation Trust Portfolios are shown gross of
    certain expense offsets afforded the Portfolios which effectively lowered
    overall custody expenses. The Total Annual Portfolio Expenses of the Managed
    and Small Cap Portfolios are limited by OpCap Advisors so that their
    respective annualized operating expenses (net of any expense offsets) do not
    exceed 1.00% of the average daily net assets. Without such limitations, and
    without giving effect to any expense offsets, the Management Fees, Other
    Expenses and Total Annual Portfolio Expenses incurred for the fiscal year
    ended December 31, 1997 would have been: .80%, .07% and .87%, respectively,
    for the Managed Portfolio; and .80%, .17% and .97% respectively, for the
    Small Cap Portfolio.
    
 
   
(6) The Limited-Term Bond Portfolio pays T. Rowe Price an all-inclusive fee of
    0.70%, computed daily and paid monthly, based on its average daily net
    assets. The International Stock Portfolio pays Rowe Price-Fleming
    International, Inc. ("Price-Fleming") an all-inclusive fee of 1.05%,
    computed daily and paid monthly, based on its average daily net assets.
    These fees pay for investment management services and other operating costs
    of the Portfolios.

                                    SUMMARY
 
THE CONTRACT
 
     Issuance of a Contract.  The Contract is a flexible premium deferred
variable annuity issued by IL Annuity and Insurance Company. Contracts may be
sold in connection with retirement plans that may or may not qualify for special
federal tax treatment under the Code. The maximum age for Owners on the Date of
Issue is 85. Annuity payments are deferred until the Annuity Commencement Date.
(See "Issuance of a Contract.")
 
     Free-Look Period.  The Owner has the right to return the Contract for any
reason within 10 days after he or she receives it (or within 20 days of receipt
if the Contract is replacing another annuity contract or insurance policy). The
contract must be returned to the Annuity Service Office. The Owner's Written
Request for cancellation must accompany the Contract. The returned contract will
be treated as if it were never issued. In certain states the Owner may have more
than 10 days to return the Contract for a refund. The amount that the Company
refunds will vary according to state requirements. Most states allow the Company
to refund an amount equal to the sum of: (i) the difference between the Premium
Payments made and the amounts allocated to the Fixed Account and the Separate
Account; and (ii) the Contract Value as of the date the contract and request for
cancellation is received at the Annuity Service Office. The Contract Owner bears
the investment risk for Premium Payments allocated to the Variable Accounts
during the period prior to the Company's receipt of the Contract and Written
Request for cancellation.
 
     A few states require a return of Premium Payments. In these states, the
refund amount will be the greater of: (i) the amount of Premium Payments made
under the Contract; and (ii) the Contract Value on the date the Contract is
received at the Annuity Service Office, plus any amounts which may have been
deducted for premium taxes. In these states, the Company will allocate Premium
Payments to the Money Market Variable Account for 15 calendar days from the date
the initial Premium Payment is credited to the Contract. (See "Free-Look
Period.")
 
   
     Premium Payments.  The minimum amount which the Company will accept as an
initial Premium Payment is $1,000; the maximum amount of the initial premium is
$250,000. Subsequent Premium Payments of not less than $1,000 may be paid under
the Contract at any time until the earliest of: (a) the Annuity Commencement
Date; (b) full withdrawal of Contract Value; or (c) the date the Owner attains
age 85 (age 70 1/2 for Qualified Contracts other than Roth IRAs). Additional
premiums in amounts up to two times the initial premium may be paid annually.
The Company will not accept total premiums in excess of $250,000. The Company
reserves the right to waive these premium limitations. (See "Premium Payments.")
    
 
     Allocation of Net Premium Payments.   Net Premium Payments under a Contract
will be allocated, as designated by the Owner, to any available Variable Account
of the Separate Account and to the Fixed Account or to both, subject to any
minimum allocation amounts established by the Company. In states where the
Company must refund Premium Payments in the event the Owner exercises the
free-look right, any portion of the initial Net Premium Payments to be allocated
to a Variable Account will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Account for
a 15-day period following the date the initial Premium Payment is credited to
the Contract. At the end of that period, the amount in the Money Market Variable
Account will be allocated to the Variable Accounts selected by the Owner. The
assets of each Variable Account will be invested solely in a corresponding
Portfolio of a Fund. The Contract Value, except for amounts in the Fixed
Account, will vary according to the investment performance of the Portfolio(s)
in which the selected Variable Account(s) is invested. Interest will be credited
to amounts in the Fixed Account at a guaranteed minimum rate of 3% per year, or
a higher current interest rate declared by the Company. (See "Allocation of Net
Premium Payments.")
 
     Transfers.  Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Owner may transfer
Contract Value from one or more of the Variable Accounts or the Fixed Account to
another one or more of the Variable Accounts, subject to certain restrictions.
If the Owner transfers Contract Value from an Eligible Variable Account, the
transfer will reduce the amount of the Eligible Premium Payments on which the
Maturity Benefit is based. (See "Maturity Benefit.")

                                       11
<PAGE>   22
 
     Transfers to the Fixed Account must be at least $1,000. Prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date, the Owner may transfer up to 20% of the Fixed Account
Value (as determined at the beginning of the Contract Year) from the Fixed
Account to one or more of the Variable Accounts in any Contract Year. No fee is
charged for transfers from the Fixed Account to one or more Variable Accounts
and such transfers are not considered a transfer for purposes of assessing a
transfer charge. (See "Transfer Privileges.")
 
     The Company reserves the right to impose a transfer charge of $25 for the
thirteenth and each subsequent request made by the Owner to transfer Contract
Value from one or more Variable Accounts to another one or more of the Variable
Accounts or the Fixed Account during a single Contract Year prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
 
     Partial Withdrawal.  Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Owner may
submit a Written Request to withdraw part of the Contract Value in amounts not
less than $250. If the remaining Contract Value is reduced to less than $1,000
by the partial withdrawal, the Company reserves the right to pay the Surrender
Value to the Owner in a lump sum. The Federal tax laws impose penalties upon,
and in some cases prohibit, certain premature distributions from the Contract
before or after the date on which the annuity payments are to begin. (See
"Federal Tax Matters.") Amounts withdrawn may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge
(Contingent Deferred Sales Charge), depending on the number of years between the
request for withdrawal and the Contract's Date of Issue. In any Contract Year
after the first Contract Year, an amount equal to 10% of the Contract Value at
the beginning of the Contract Year may be withdrawn without Withdrawal Charges.
(See "Withdrawal Charge -- Full and Partial Withdrawals.")
 
     Full Withdrawal.  Upon Written Request before the Annuity Commencement
Date, the Owner may cancel the Contract and receive its Surrender Value. (See
"Full and Partial Withdrawals.") As with partial withdrawals, Federal tax laws
impose penalties upon, and in some cases prohibit, certain premature
distributions from the Contract before or after the date on which the annuity
payments are to begin. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
 
     Death Benefit.   If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement
Date, the Beneficiary will receive a Death Benefit. The Death Benefit will be
equal to the greater of:
 
        (1) Premium Payments made under the Contract, less partial withdrawals
            as of the date the Company receives due proof of the deceased's
            death and payment instructions; or
 
        (2) Contract Value as of the date the Company receives due proof of the
            deceased's death and payment instructions;
 
LESS any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted. If the Owner dies
before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contract Value (or if the Owner is
also the Annuitant, the Death Benefit) must generally be distributed to the
Beneficiary within five years after the date of the Owner's death. (See "Death
Benefit Before the Annuity Commencement Date.")
 
     Maturity Benefit.  If the Contract is in the accumulation phase on the
Maturity Benefit Date, IL Annuity will calculate the Maturity Benefit for each
Eligible Variable Account in which the Owner has value as of that date. The
Maturity Benefit will be credited to the Contract Value of an Eligible Variable
Account only if the value of the Eligible Variable Account on the Maturity
Benefit Date is less than: (a) the sum of the Eligible Premium Payments for such
Eligible Variable Account, MINUS (b) a percentage of all prior withdrawals and
transfers from such Eligible Variable Account.
 
     Eligible Premium Payments are those Premium Payments that initially were
allocated to a particular Eligible Variable Account at the time of payment,
provided the payment was made at least ten (10) years prior to the Maturity
Benefit Date.
 
     On the Maturity Benefit Date, the Maturity Benefit to be credited to each
Eligible Variable Account is equal to: (a) the sum of the Eligible Premium
Payments for that particular Eligible Variable Account; MINUS (b) a percentage
of all prior withdrawals and transfers from that Eligible Variable Account;
MINUS (c) the value of that Eligible Variable Account as of the Maturity Benefit
Date.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   23
 
   
     The Maturity Benefit Date is the later of the Annuitant's age 70 and 10
years after the Date of Issue. If the Contract is owned by Joint Owners who are
spouses at the time one Joint Owner dies, the Maturity Benefit Date will become
the date the surviving spouse attains age 70. If the Contract is owned by Joint
Owners who are not spouses and one of them dies before the Maturity Benefit
Date, the Maturity Benefit is not available to the sole surviving Owner. The
Eligible Variable Accounts currently include all Variable Accounts.
    
 
     The Maturity Benefit will not be credited to Contract Value if the Owner
chooses an Annuity Commencement Date that is earlier than the Maturity Benefit
Date.
 
     Transfers and withdrawals from an Eligible Variable Account will reduce the
amount of the Eligible Premium Payments on which the Maturity Benefit is based.
(See "Maturity Benefit.")
 
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
     The following charges and deductions are assessed under the Contract:
 
     Withdrawal Charge (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge).  No charge for sales
expenses is deducted from Premium Payments at the time Premium Payments are
paid. However, a Withdrawal Charge is deducted upon full or partial withdrawal
of Contract Value during the first nine Contract Years. No Withdrawal Charge
will be assessed on distributions made in the event the contract terminates due
to the death of the Annuitant or Owner or if Contract Values are applied to a
life contingency option or an annuity plan with a period certain of at least 10
years.
 
     For amounts withdrawn within the first six years from the Date of Issue,
the charge is 7.0% of the amount withdrawn. For amounts withdrawn during the
seventh year from the Date of Issue, the charge is 6.0% of the amount withdrawn.
For each Contract Year thereafter, the Withdrawal Charge decreases by 2.0% for
each subsequent Contract Year until it is zero in year ten. Amounts subject to
the Withdrawal Charge will be deemed to be first from Premium Payments, then
from earnings. No Withdrawal Charge is assessed upon the withdrawal of Contract
Value in excess of aggregate Premium Payments or on withdrawals made in Contract
Years ten or later. (See "Withdrawal Charge -- Charges for Full or Partial
Withdrawals.")
 
     In any Contract Year after the first Contract Year, an amount equal to 10%
of the Contract Value at the beginning of the Contract Year may be withdrawn
without Withdrawal Charges. (See "Withdrawal Charge.") The Withdrawal Charge
also may be waived in cases of extended hospitalization, long-term care,
terminal illness, or to pay for post secondary education, as provided in the
Contract. (See "Withdrawal Charge -- Waiver of Withdrawal Charge.")
 
     Contract Fee.  At the end of each Contract quarter (or on the date of full
surrender of the Contract) prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Company
deducts a quarterly Contract Fee of $7.50 from the Contract Value. Deduction of
the Contract Fee is currently waived for all Qualified Contracts. The Company
also currently waives quarterly deduction of the Contract Fee for Non-Qualified
Contracts whose cumulative Premium Payments on the date the Contract Fee is
assessed are equal to or greater than $100,000. The Company reserves the right
to modify this waiver upon 30 days written notice to Contract Owners. This
charge does not apply after an annuity payout plan has begun. (See "Contract
Fee.")
 
     Transfer Fee.  The Company reserves the right to impose a transfer charge
of $25 for the thirteenth and each subsequent request made by the Owner to
transfer Contract Value from one or more Variable Accounts to another one or
more of the Variable Accounts or the Fixed Account during a single Contract Year
prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. (See "Transfer Fee.")
 
     Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  The Company deducts a daily mortality
and expense risk charge to compensate it for assuming certain mortality and
expense risks. The charge is deducted from the assets of the Separate Account at
a rate of 0.003404% per day which is an annual rate of 1.25% (approximately
0.90% for mortality risk and 0.35% for expense risks). This charge will continue
to be assessed if annuity payments are made on a variable basis after the
Annuity Commencement Date. (See "Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.")
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   24
 
   
     Asset-Based Administration Charge.  The Company deducts a daily
administration charge to compensate it for certain expenses it incurs in
administering the Contract. The charge is deducted from the assets of the
Separate Account at an annual rate of 0.15%. This charge will continue to be
assessed after annuitization if annuity payments are made on a variable basis.
(See "Asset-Based Administration Charge.")
    
 
     Premium Taxes.  Various states and other governmental entities levy a
premium tax, currently ranging up to 3.5%, on annuity contracts issued by
insurance companies. Premium tax rates are subject to change from time to time
by legislative and other governmental action. In addition, other governmental
units within a state may levy such taxes. If state or other premium taxes are
applicable to a Contract, they will be deducted either: (a) from Premium
Payments as they are received, (b) from Contract Value upon partial or full
withdrawal, (c) upon application of adjusted Contract Value to a payout plan
option, or (d) upon payment of a Death Benefit. (See "Premium Taxes.")
 
     Investment Advisory Fees and Other Expenses of the Funds.  Because each
Variable Account purchases shares of the Funds, the net assets of each Variable
Account will reflect the investment advisory fee incurred by the corresponding
Portfolio of the Funds. For each Portfolio, an investment advisor is paid a
daily fee by the Funds for its investment advisory services. The advisory fees
are based on the average daily net assets of the Portfolio, and, as a result,
the amount of the advisory fee will depend upon the Portfolio and the assets of
such Portfolio. Each Portfolio of the Fund in which the Variable Accounts invest
is also responsible for its own expenses. Presently, certain fees and expenses
of the Funds are waived and reimbursed. (See the accompanying Prospectuses of
the Funds for further details.)
 
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
 
     Payout Plan Options.  On the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contract Value
(adjusted as described below) will be applied to a payout plan option, unless
the Owner chooses to receive the Surrender Value in a lump sum. Adjusted
Contract Value is Contract Value, LESS applicable premium tax not yet deducted,
LESS the quarterly Contract Fee, and, for an installment income annuity payout
plan with a payout period of less than 10 years, LESS any applicable Withdrawal
Charge. (See "Payout Plan Options.")
 
FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 
     Generally, a distribution (including a full or partial withdrawal or Death
Benefit payment) may result in taxable income. In certain circumstances, a 10%
penalty tax may apply. For a further discussion of the federal tax status of
variable annuity contracts, see "Federal Tax Status."

                      THE COMPANY AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
IL ANNUITY AND INSURANCE COMPANY
 
     IL Annuity and Insurance Company, formerly known as Sentry Investors Life
Insurance Company, is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 21, 1965 and incorporated on March
9, 1966. The Company changed its named to "IL Annuity and Insurance Company" on
January 17, 1995.
 
     Effective October 31, 1994, the Company entered into an assumption
reinsurance agreement with Sentry Life Insurance Company ("Sentry") whereby
Sentry assumed all of the existing insurance in-force and related assets and
liabilities from the Company.
 
   
     On November 1, 1994, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Indianapolis Life Group of Companies, Inc. ("Indianapolis Life Group"), which is
a majority-owned subsidiary of Indianapolis Life Insurance Company. Indianapolis
Life Insurance Company is a mutual life insurance company chartered under
Indiana law in 1905 with assets as of December 31, 1997 which approximated
$1.702 billion.
    
 
   
     At the end of 1997, American United Life Insurance Company ("AUL") and
Indianapolis Life Insurance Company took preliminary steps toward an
affiliation. At that time, AUL invested $8,910,000 in Indianapolis Life Group
and on March 30, 1998 AUL invested an additional $18,090,000. As a result of
this investment and related transactions, it is intended by both parties that
Indianapolis Life Insurance Company
    
                                       17
<PAGE>   28
 
   
will retain ownership of 75% of the stock of Indianapolis Life Group and AUL
will own the remaining 25% of the Indianapolis Life Group stock. The Agreement
to Affiliate does contain provisions which would allow AUL to invest additional
amounts in Indianapolis Life Group, and potentially to own up to 49.9% of the
outstanding Indianapolis Life Group stock. As of the date of this prospectus,
there is no current intention for additional investments by AUL.
    
 
     The Company is subject to regulation by the Insurance Department of the
State of Massachusetts as well as by the insurance departments of all other
states and jurisdictions in which it does business. The Company submits annual
statements on its operations and finances to insurance officials in such states
and jurisdictions. The forms for the Contract described in this Prospectus are
filed with and (where required) approved by insurance officials in each state
and jurisdiction in which Contracts are sold.
 
IL ANNUITY AND INSURANCE CO. SEPARATE ACCOUNT 1
 
     The IL Annuity and Insurance Co. Separate Account I (the "Separate
Account") was established by the Company as a separate account under
Massachusetts insurance law on November 1, 1994. The Separate Account will
receive and invest Net Premium Payments made under the Contracts. In addition,
the Separate Account may receive and invest Premium Payments for any other
variable annuity contracts issued in the future by the Company.
 
     Although the assets in the Separate Account are the property of the
Company, the portion of the assets in the Separate Account equal to the reserves
and other contract liabilities of the Separate Account are not chargeable with
the liabilities arising out of any other business which the Company may conduct
and which has no specific relation to or dependence upon the Separate Account.
The assets of the Separate Account are available to cover the general
liabilities of the Company only to the extent that the Separate Account's assets
exceed its liabilities arising under the Contracts and any other contracts
supported by the Separate Account. The Company has the right to transfer to the
general account any assets of the Separate Account which are in excess of
reserves and other contract liabilities. All obligations arising under the
Contracts are general corporate obligations of the Company. Income, gains and
losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account
are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other
income, gains or losses of any other separate account or of the Company.
 
   
     The Separate Account currently is divided into fourteen Variable Accounts
that are available for investment but may, in the future, include additional
Variable Accounts. Each Variable Account invests exclusively in shares of a
single corresponding fund. The income, gains and losses, whether or not
realized, from the assets allocated to each Variable Account are credited to or
charged against that Variable Account without regard to income, gains or losses
from any other Variable Account.
    
 
     The Separate Account has been registered with the SEC as a unit investment
trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and meets the
definition of a separate account under the federal securities laws. Registration
with the SEC does not involve supervision of the management or investment
practices or policies of the Separate Account or the Company by the SEC. The
Separate Account is also subject to the laws of the State of Massachusetts which
regulate the operations of insurance companies domiciled in Massachusetts.
 
                                   THE FUNDS
 
   
     Each Variable Account of the Separate Account invests in shares of a
designated Portfolio of a series-type mutual fund. Each Fund currently available
under the Contract is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as an open-end, management investment company. Such
registration does not involve supervision of the management or investment
practices or policies of the companies or their funds by the SEC.
    
 
   
     The assets of each Portfolio are separate from the assets of other
Portfolios, and each Portfolio has separate investment objectives and policies.
As a result, each Portfolio operates as a separate investment
    
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   29
 
   
Portfolio and the income or losses of one Portfolio has no effect on the
investment performance of any other Portfolio.
    
 
     The investment objectives and policies of each Portfolio are summarized
below. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY PORTFOLIO WILL ACHIEVE ITS STATED
OBJECTIVES. More detailed information, including a description of risks and
expenses, may be found in the prospectuses for the Portfolios which must
accompany or precede this prospectus and which should be read carefully and
retained for future reference.
 
     Each of the Funds is managed by an investment adviser registered with the
SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Each investment
manager is responsible for the selection of Portfolio investments consistent
with the investment objectives and policies of the Portfolio, and conducts
securities trading for the Portfolio.
 
     Certain Variable Accounts invest in Portfolios that have similar investment
objectives and/or policies; therefore, before choosing Variable Accounts,
carefully read the individual prospectuses for the Funds along with this
prospectus.
 
   
     In addition, the investment objectives and policies of certain Portfolios
are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other portfolios that
may be managed by the same investment adviser or manager. The investment results
of the Portfolios, however, may be higher or lower than the results of such
other portfolios. There can be no assurance, and no representation is made, that
the investment results of any of the Portfolios will be comparable to the
investment results of any other portfolio, even if the other portfolio has the
same investment adviser or manager.
    
 
THE ALGER AMERICAN FUND
 
     The MidCap Growth Variable Account and the Small Capitalization Variable
Account will invest exclusively in shares of the MidCap Growth Portfolio and the

          MIDCAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO -- seeks to obtain long-term capital
     appreciation. Except during temporary defensive periods, the Portfolio

     that, at the time of purchase of the securities, have total market
     capitalization within the range of companies included in the S&P MidCap 400
     Index, updated quarterly. The S&P MidCap Index is designed to track the
     performance of medium capitalization companies. As of March 31, 1998, the
     range of market capitalization of these companies was $210 million to $14.3
     billion.
    
 
   
          SMALL CAPITALIZATION PORTFOLIO -- seeks to obtain long-term capital
     appreciation. Except during temporary defensive periods, the Portfolio
     invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of companies
     that, at the time of purchase of the securities, have total market
     capitalization within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000
     Growth Index ("Russell Index") or the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, updated
     quarterly. Both indexes are broad indices of small capitalization stocks.
     As of March 31, 1998, the range of market capitalization of the companies
     in the Russell Index was $20 million to $4.25 billion; the range of
     capitalization of the companies in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index at that date
     was $31 million to $3.7 billion.
    
 
     Fred Alger Management, Inc. ("Alger Management") serves as investment
adviser for the MidCap Growth and Small Capitalization Portfolios of The Alger
American Fund. Fred Alger & Company, Incorporated, an affiliate of Alger
Management, will serve as the Portfolios' broker in effecting substantially all

     reduced risk over the long-term by allocating its assets among stocks,
     bonds, short-term and other instruments of U.S. and foreign issuers.

     companies that the adviser believes to be undervalued due to an overly
     pessimistic appraisal by the public.
 
          INDEX 500 PORTFOLIO -- seeks to match the total return of the S&P 500
     while keeping expenses low. The adviser normally invests at least 80% (65%

     equity securities of companies that compose the S&P 500.
 
          INVESTMENT GRADE BOND PORTFOLIO -- seeks high current income by

MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF EACH PORTFOLIO'S
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES AND A DESCRIPTION OF RISKS INVOLVED IN
INVESTING IN EACH OF THE PORTFOLIOS AND OF EACH PORTFOLIO'S FEES AND EXPENSES,
IS CONTAINED IN THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THE FUNDS, CURRENT COPIES OF WHICH
ACCOMPANY THIS PROSPECTUS. INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE FUNDS' PROSPECTUSES
SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ANY DECISION IS MADE CONCERNING THE ALLOCATION
OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS TO OR TRANSFERS AMONG THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS.
 
     An investment in a Variable Account, or in any Portfolio, including the
Money Market Portfolio, is not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and
there can be no assurance that the Money Market Portfolio will be able to
maintain a stable net asset value per share.
 
     The Company cannot guarantee that each Fund will always be available for
its variable annuity contracts, but in the unlikely event that a fund is not
available, the Company will do everything reasonably practicable to secure the
availability of a comparable fund. Shares of each Portfolio are purchased and
redeemed at net asset value, without a sales charge.
 
     IL Annuity has entered into agreements with the investment adviser of
several of the Funds pursuant to which each such investment adviser will pay IL
Annuity a servicing fee based upon an annual percentage of the average aggregate
net assets invested by IL Annuity on behalf of the Separate Account. These
agreements reflect administrative services provided to the Funds by IL Annuity.
Payments of such amounts by the Funds will not increase the fees paid by the
Funds or their shareholders.

AVAILABILITY OF THE FUNDS
 
     The Separate Account purchases shares of each of the Funds in accordance
with a participation agreement between the Company and the Fund. The termination
provisions of these agreements vary. A summary of the termination provisions of
these agreements may be found in the Statement of Additional Information. Should
a participation agreement between the Company and a Fund terminate, the Separate
Account may not be able to purchase additional shares of that Fund. Likewise, in
certain circumstances, it is possible that shares of a Fund may not be available
to the Separate Account even if the participation agreement relating to that
Fund has not been terminated. In either event, Owners will no longer be able to
allocate Premium Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Variable Account
investing in that Fund.
 
ADDITION, DELETION OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
 
     The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to make
additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the shares of a fund that are
held in the Separate Account or that the Separate Account may purchase. If the
shares of a fund are no longer available for investment or if, in the Company's
judgment, further investment in any fund should become inappropriate, the
Company may redeem the shares, if any, of that fund and substitute shares of
another fund. The Company will not substitute any shares attributable to a
Contract's interest in a Variable Account without notice and prior approval of
the SEC and state insurance authorities, to the extent required by the 1940 Act
or other applicable law.
 
     The Company also reserves the right to establish additional Variable
Accounts of the Separate Account, each of which would invest in shares of a new
corresponding fund having a specified investment objective. The Company may, in
its sole discretion, establish new Variable Accounts or eliminate or combine one
or more Variable Accounts if marketing needs, tax considerations or investment
conditions warrant. Any new Variable Accounts may be made available to existing
Contract Owners on a basis to be determined by the Company. Subject to obtaining
any approvals or consents required by applicable law, the assets of one or more
Variable Accounts may be transferred to any other Variable Account if, in the
sole discretion of the Company, marketing, tax, or investment conditions
warrant.
 
     In the event of any such substitution or change, the Company may (by
appropriate endorsement, if necessary) change the Contract to reflect the
substitution or change. If the Company considers it to be in the best interest
of Owners and Annuitants, and subject to any approvals that may be required
under applicable law, the Separate Account may be operated as a management
investment company under the 1940 Act, it may be deregistered under that Act if
registration is no longer required, it may be combined with other Company
separate accounts, or its assets may be transferred to another separate account
of the Company. In addition, the Company may, when permitted by law, restrict or
eliminate any voting rights of Owners or other persons who have such rights
under the Contracts.
 
     The Company will continue to pay a Maturity Benefit on Premium Payments
allocated to an Eligible Variable Account if: (a) the Portfolio underlying an
Eligible Variable Account changes its investment objective; (b) the Company
determines that an investment in the Portfolio underlying an Eligible Variable
Account is no longer appropriate in light of the purposes of the Separate
Account; or (c) shares of a Portfolio underlying an Eligible Variable Account
are no longer available for investment by the Separate Account and IL Annuity is
forced to redeem all shares of the Portfolio held by the Eligible Variable
Account. (See "Maturity Benefit.")
 
RESOLVING MATERIAL CONFLICTS
 
     The Funds currently sell shares to registered separate accounts of
insurance companies other than the Company to support other variable annuity
contracts and variable life insurance contracts. In addition, some of the Funds
may in the future be sold to other separate accounts of the Company and may in
the future be sold to separate accounts of other affiliated life insurance
companies to support other variable annuity or variable life insurance
contracts. Moreover, shares of some of the Funds may in the future be sold to
qualified retirement plans. As a result, there is a possibility that an
irreconcilable material conflict may arise between the interests of Contract
Owners owning Contracts whose Contract Values are allocated to the Separate

                                       22
<PAGE>   33
 
Account and of Contract Owners owning Contracts whose Contract Values are
allocated to one or more other separate accounts investing in any one of the
Funds. There is also the possibility that a material conflict may arise between
the interests of Contract Owners generally, or certain classes of Contract
Owners, and participating qualified retirement plans or participants in such
retirement plans.
 
     The Company currently does not foresee any disadvantages to Owners arising
from the sale of such shares to support variable life insurance contracts or
variable annuity contracts of other companies or to qualified retirement plans.
However, the management of the Funds will each monitor events related to their
Fund in order to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that might
possibly arise as a result of such Fund's offering its shares to (1) support
both variable life insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts, or (2)
support the variable life insurance contracts and/or variable annuity contracts
issued by various unaffiliated insurance companies. In addition, the management
of the Funds will monitor the Funds in order to identify any material
irreconcilable conflicts that might possibly arise as a result of the sale of
its shares to qualified retirement plans, if applicable. In the event of such a
conflict, the management of the appropriate Fund would determine what action, if
any, should be taken in response to the conflict. In addition, if the Company
believes that the response of the Funds to any such conflict insufficiently
protects Owners, it will take appropriate action on its own, including
withdrawing the Separate Account's investment in such Funds, as appropriate.
(See the Fund's prospectuses for greater detail.)
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT
 
ISSUANCE OF A CONTRACT
 
     In order to purchase a Contract, application must be made to the Company
through a licensed representative of the Company, who is also a registered
representative of IL Securities, Inc. or a broker-dealer having a selling
agreement with IL Securities, Inc. or a broker-dealer having a selling agreement
with such broker-dealer. Contracts may be sold to or in connection with
retirement plans that do not qualify for special tax treatment as well as
retirement plans that qualify for special tax treatment under the Code. The
maximum age for Owners on the Date of Issue is 85.
 
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
 
   
     The minimum amount which the Company will accept as an initial Premium
Payment is $1,000; the maximum amount of the initial premium is $250,000.
Subsequent Premium Payments may be paid under the Contract at any time until the
earliest of: (a) the Annuity Commencement Date; (b) full withdrawal of Contract
Value; or (c) the date the Owner attains age 85 (age 70 1/2 for Qualified
Contracts other than Roth IRAs under Code Section 408A), and must be for at
least $1,000. The Company will not accept total premiums under the Contract in
excess of $250,000. The Company reserves the right to waive these limitations.
    
 
     Under the Company's Automatic Premium Payment Plan, the Owner can select an
annual, semi-annual, or monthly payment schedule pursuant to which Premium
Payments will be automatically deducted from a bank or credit union account or
other source. The minimum size of such payment is $1,000.
 
FREE-LOOK PERIOD
 
     The Contract provides for an initial "Free-Look" Period. The Owner has the
right to return the Contract within 10 days of receiving it (or within 20 days
of receipt if the Contract is replacing another annuity contract or insurance
policy). In some jurisdictions, this period may be longer than 10 days. When the
Company receives a Written Request for cancellation and the returned Contract at
the Annuity Service Office before the end of this period, the Company will
cancel the Contract.
 
     The amount that the Company will refund will vary according to state
requirements. In most states, the Company will refund to the Owner an amount
equal to the sum of: (i) the difference between the Premium Payments paid and
the amounts allocated to the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account under the
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   34
 
Contract; and (ii) the Contract Value as of the date the Contract and the
Written Request for cancellation are received at the Annuity Service Office. The
Contract Owner bears the investment risk only for premiums allocated to the
Variable Accounts during the period prior to the Company's receipt of the
Contract and Written Request for cancellation.
 
     A few states require the return of Premium Payments. If state law requires
that Premium Payments be returned, the amount of the refund will be the greater
of: (i) the Premium Payments made under the Contract; and (ii) the Contract
Value (without reduction of any withdrawal charge) on the date the Contract is
received at the Annuity Service Office, plus any amount that may have been
deducted for premium taxes. In those states where Premium Payments must be
returned, the Company will allocate Premium Payments to the Money Market
Variable Account for 15 calendar days from the date the initial Premium Payment
is credited to the Contract.
 
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUM PAYMENTS
 
     At the time of application, the Owner selects how the initial Net Premium
Payment is to be allocated among the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account.
Any allocation must be for at least 1% of a Premium Payment and be in whole
percentages.
 
     If the application for a Contract is properly completed and is accompanied
by all the information necessary to process it, including payment of the initial
Premium Payment, the initial Net Premium Payment will be allocated, as
designated by the Owner, to one or more of the Variable Accounts or to the Fixed
Account within two valuation days of receipt of such Premium Payment by the
Company at its Annuity Service Office. If the application is not properly
completed, the Company reserves the right to retain the Premium Payment for up
to five valuation days while it attempts to complete the application. If the
application is not complete at the end of the 5-day period, the Company will
inform the applicant of the reason for the delay and the initial Premium Payment
will be returned immediately, unless the applicant specifically consents to the
Company retaining the Premium Payment until the application is complete. Once
the application is complete, the initial Net Premium Payment will be allocated
as designated by the Owner within two valuation days.
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in jurisdictions where the Company must
refund aggregate Premium Payments in the event the Owner exercises the free-look
right, the Company will place any portion of the initial Net Premium Payments
allocated to a Variable Account into the Money Market Variable Account for a
15-day period following the date on which the initial Premium Payment is
credited to the Contract. At the end of that period, the amount in the Money
Market Variable Account will be allocated to the Variable Accounts as designated
by the Owner based on the proportion that the allocation percentage for each
such Variable Account bears to the sum of the allocation percentages.
 
     Any subsequent Net Premium Payments will be allocated as of the end of the
valuation period in which the subsequent Net Premium Payment is received by the
Company and will be allocated in accordance with the allocation schedule in
effect at the time the Premium Payment is received. However, Owners may direct
individual payments to a specific Variable Account or to the Fixed Account (or
any combination thereof) without changing the existing allocation schedule. The
allocation schedule may be changed by the Owner at any time by Written Request.
Changing the Premium Payment allocation schedule will not change the allocation
of existing Contract Value among the Variable Accounts or the Fixed Account.
 
THE CONTRACT VALUES ALLOCATED TO A VARIABLE ACCOUNT WILL VARY WITH THAT VARIABLE
ACCOUNT'S INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. THE OWNER BEARS THE ENTIRE INVESTMENT RISK FOR
AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS. OWNERS SHOULD PERIODICALLY REVIEW
THEIR PREMIUM PAYMENT ALLOCATION SCHEDULE IN LIGHT OF MARKET CONDITIONS AND
THEIR OVERALL FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   35
 
SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE
 
     The Separate Account Value will reflect the investment experience of the
selected Variable Accounts, any Net Premium Payments paid, any surrenders or
partial withdrawals, any transfers, and any charges assessed in connection with
the Contract. There is no guaranteed minimum Separate Account Value, and,
because a Contract's Separate Account Value on any future date depends upon a
number of variables, it cannot be predetermined.
 
     Calculation of Separate Account Value.  The Separate Account Value is
determined at the end of each valuation period. The value will be the aggregate
of the values attributable to the Contract in each of the Variable Accounts,
determined for each Variable Account by multiplying that Variable Account's unit
value for the relevant valuation period by the number of accumulation units of
that Variable Account allocated to the Contract.
 
     Determination of Number of Accumulation Units.  Any amounts allocated or
transferred to the Variable Accounts will be converted into Variable Account
accumulation units. The number of accumulation units to be credited to a
Contract is determined by dividing the dollar amount being allocated or
transferred to a Variable Account by the accumulation unit value for that
Variable Account at the end of the valuation period during which the amount was
allocated or transferred. The number of accumulation units in any Variable
Account will be increased at the end of the valuation period by any Net Premium
Payments allocated to the Variable Account during the current valuation period
and by any amounts transferred to the Variable Account from another Variable
Account or from the Fixed Account during the current valuation period.
 
     Any amounts transferred, surrendered or deducted from a Variable Account
will be processed by cancelling or liquidating accumulation units. The number of
accumulation units to be cancelled is determined by dividing the dollar amount
being removed from a Variable Account by the accumulation unit value for that
Variable Account at the end of the valuation period during which the amount was
removed. The number of accumulation units in any Variable Account will be
decreased at the end of the valuation period by: (a) any amounts transferred
(including any applicable transfer fee) from that Variable Account to another
Variable Account or to the Fixed Account, (b) any amounts withdrawn or
surrendered during that valuation period, (c) any Withdrawal Charge or premium
tax assessed upon a partial withdrawal or surrender, and (d) the quarterly
contract fee, if assessed during that valuation period.
 
     Determination of Accumulation Unit Value.  The accumulation unit value for
each Variable Account's first valuation period was set at $10. The accumulation
unit value for a Variable Account is calculated for each subsequent Valuation
Period by multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value at the end of the immediately
preceding Valuation Period by the Net Investment Factor for the Valuation Period
for which the value is being determined.
 
     Net Investment Factor.  The Net Investment Factor is an index that measures
the investment performance of a Variable Account from one Valuation Period to
the next. Each Variable Account has its own Net Investment Factor, which may be
greater or less than one. The Net Investment Factor for each Variable Account
for a Valuation Period equals 1 plus the fraction obtained by dividing (a) by
(b) where:
 
        (a) is the net result of:
 
           1. the investment income, dividends, and capital gains, realized or
              unrealized, credited during the current Valuation Period; PLUS
 
           2. the amount credited or released from reserves for taxes attributed
              to the operation of the Variable Account; MINUS
 
           3. the capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged during the
              current Valuation Period; MINUS
 
           4. any amount charged for taxes or any amount set aside during the
              Valuation Period as a reserve for taxes attributable to the
              operation or maintenance of the Variable Account; MINUS
 
           5. the amount charged for mortality and expense risk for that
              Valuation Period; MINUS
                                       25
<PAGE>   36
 
           6. the amount charged for administration for that Valuation Period;
              and
 
        (b) is the value of the assets in the Variable Account at the end of the
            preceding Valuation Period, adjusted for allocations and transfers
            to and withdrawals and transfers from the Variable Account occurring
            during that preceding Valuation Period.
 
TRANSFER PRIVILEGES
 
     General.  Before the Annuity Commencement Date and subject to the
restrictions described below, the Owner may transfer all or part of the amount
in a Variable Account or the Fixed Account to another Variable Account or the
Fixed Account.
 
     If the Owner transfers Contract Value from an Eligible Variable Account,
the transfer will reduce the amount of the Eligible Premium Payments on which
the Maturity Benefit is based. (See "Maturity Benefit.")
 
     Transfers to the Fixed Account must be at least $1,000. Prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date, the Owner may transfer up to 20% of the Fixed Account
Value (as determined at the beginning of the Contract Year) from the Fixed
Account to one or more of the Variable Accounts in any Contract Year. No fee is
charged for transfers from the Fixed Account to one or more Variable Accounts
and such a transfer is not considered a transfer for purposes of assessing a
transfer charge.
 
     Transfers will be made as of the valuation day on which Written Request
requesting such transfer is received by the Company if received before 4:00 p.m.
Eastern Time. Transfers will be made as of the valuation day next following the
day on which Written Request requesting such transfer is received if received
after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, there
currently is no limit on the number of transfers that can be made prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date among or between Variable Accounts or to the Fixed
Account.
 
     Telephone Transfers.  Transfers will be made based upon instructions given
by telephone, provided the Company has a currently valid telephone transfer
authorization form on file signed by the Owner(s). A telephone transfer
authorization form received by the Company at the Annuity Service Office is
valid until it is rescinded or revoked in writing by the Owner(s) or until a
subsequently dated form signed by the Owner(s) is received at the Annuity
Service Office.
 
     The Company will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine and if it follows such procedures it will
not be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. The
Company, however, may be liable for such losses if it does not follow those
reasonable procedures. The procedures the Company may follow for telephone
transfers include providing a written confirmation of all transfers made
pursuant to telephone instructions, requiring a form of personal identification
prior to acting on instructions received by telephone, and tape recording
instructions received by telephone.
 
     The Company reserves the right to modify, restrict, suspend or eliminate
the transfer privileges (including the telephone transfer facility) at any time,
for any class of Contracts, for any reason. In particular, the Company reserves
the right to not honor transfers requested by a third party holding a power of
attorney from an Owner where that third party requests simultaneous transfers on
behalf of the Owners of two or more Contracts.
 
     Transfer Fee.  The Company reserves the right to impose a transfer charge
of $25 for the thirteenth and each subsequent request made by the Owner to
transfer Contract Value from one or more Variable Accounts to another one or
more of the Variable Accounts or the Fixed Account during a single Contract Year
prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
 
     Dollar-Cost Averaging.  If elected at the time of the application or at any
time thereafter before the Annuity Commencement Date by Written Request, an
Owner may systematically or automatically transfer (on a monthly or quarterly
basis) specified dollar amounts from one or more Variable Accounts or the Fixed
Account to one or more other Variable Accounts. This is known as the dollar-cost
averaging method of investment. The fixed dollar amount will purchase more
accumulation units of a Variable Account when their

                                       26
<PAGE>   37
 
value is lower and fewer units when their value is higher. Over time, the cost
per unit averages out to be less than if all purchases of units had been made at
the highest value and greater than if all purchases had been made at the lowest
value. The dollar-cost averaging method of investment reduces the risk of making
purchases only when the price of accumulation units is high. It does not assure
a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets.
 
     The minimum transfer amount for dollar-cost averaging is $100 to each
Variable Account. Once elected, dollar-cost averaging remains in effect for the
life of the Contract until Separate Account Value in the Variable Account from
which transfers are being made is depleted (and the value of the Fixed Account
is expended if transfers are being made from the Fixed Account) or until the
Owner cancels the election (by Written Request or by telephone if the Company
has the Owner's telephone authorization form on file). There is no additional
charge for dollar-cost averaging and a transfer under this program is not
considered a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer change. The Company
reserves the right to discontinue offering the dollar-cost averaging facility at
any time and for any reason. Dollar-Cost Averaging from an Eligible Variable
Account will reduce the amount of the Eligible Premium Payments on which the
Maturity Benefit is based. (See "Maturity Benefit.")
 
     Interest Sweep.  Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Owner may
elect to have any interest credited to the Fixed Account automatically
transferred on a quarterly basis to one or more Variable Accounts. There is no
charge for interest sweep transfers and an interest sweep transfer is not
considered a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer charge. Amounts
transferred out of the Fixed Account due to an interest sweep transfer are
counted toward the 20% of Fixed Account Value that may be transferred out of the
Fixed Account during any Contract Year.
 
     Automatic Account Balancing Service.  If elected at the time of the
application or requested at any time thereafter before the Annuity Commencement
Date by Written Request, an Owner may instruct the Company to automatically
balance (on a monthly or quarterly basis) Contract Value in order to match the
Owner's currently effective Premium Payment allocation schedule. Such percentage
allocations must be in whole percentages and be at least 1% per allocation.
Owners may start and stop Automatic Account Balancing at any time. There is no
additional charge for using Automatic Account Balancing and an account balancing
transfer is not considered a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer
charge. The Company reserves the right to discontinue offering the automatic
account balancing service at any time and for any reason. Automatic Account
Balancing from an Eligible Variable Account will reduce the amount of the
Eligible Premium Payments on which the Maturity Benefit is based. (See "Maturity
Benefit.")
 
FULL AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 
   
     Full Withdrawals.  At any time before the Annuity Commencement Date, the
Owner may surrender the contract for its Surrender Value. The Surrender Value is
equal to the Contract Value MINUS (1) any applicable Withdrawal Charges; MINUS
(2) any premium taxes not previously deducted; MINUS (3) the Contract Fee unless
waived. For Qualified Plans, any outstanding loan balance is also deducted. The
Surrender Value will be determined as of the valuation day on the date that the
Written Request requesting surrender and the Contract are received at the
Company's Annuity Service Office. The Surrender Value will be paid in a lump sum
unless the Owner requests payment under a payout plan option. A full withdrawal
may have adverse federal income tax consequences, including a penalty tax. (See
"Taxation of Annuities.")
    
 
     Partial Withdrawals.  At any time before the Annuity Commencement Date, an
Owner may submit a Written Request to withdraw part of the Contract Value in
amounts not less than $250. The maximum amount is that which would leave the
remaining Surrender Value equal to $1,000. If the remaining Contract Value is
reduced to less than $1,000 by the partial withdrawal, the Company reserves the
right to pay the Surrender Value to the Owner in a lump sum. The Company will
withdraw the amount requested from the Contract Value as of the Valuation Day
that the Written Request requesting the partial withdrawal is received. Any
applicable Withdrawal Charge also will be deducted from the remaining Contract
Value. (See "Withdrawal Charge.")
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   38
 
     The Owner may specify the amount of the partial withdrawal to be made from
the Variable Accounts or the Fixed Account. If the Owner does not so specify, or
if the amount in the designated Variable Accounts or Fixed Account is inadequate
to comply with the request, the partial withdrawal will be made on a pro rata
basis from the Fixed Account and Variable Accounts in which Contract Value is
invested based on the proportion that the Variable Account Values and the Fixed
Account Value bear to the Contract Value prior to the partial withdrawal.
 
     If the Owner withdraws Contract Value from an Eligible Variable Account,
the withdrawal will reduce the amount of the Eligible Premium Payments on which
the Maturity Benefit is based. (See "Maturity Benefit.")
 
     For purposes of calculating the Maturity Benefit, withdrawals from the
Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account will be accounted for on a last-in,
first-out ("LIFO") basis. (See "Maturity Benefit.") For purposes of calculating
the Withdrawal Charge, all withdrawals will be deemed to be first from Premium
Payments, then from earnings. (See "Withdrawal Charge.")
 
     A partial withdrawal may have adverse federal income tax consequences,
including a penalty tax. (See "Taxation of Annuities.")
 
     Systematic Withdrawal Program.  The Systematic Withdrawal Program provides
an automatic monthly or quarterly payment to the Owner from amounts accumulated
in the Variable Accounts and/or the Fixed Account. The minimum amount that may
be withdrawn is $100. To use the program, the Owner must maintain a $1,000
balance in the Contract. An Owner may elect to participate in the Systematic
Withdrawal Program at any time before the Annuity Commencement Date by sending a
Written Request to the Annuity Service Office. Once elected, the program remains
in effect unless the balance in the Contract drops below $1,000. The program may
be canceled at any time by sending a Written Request, or by calling IL Annuity
provided a telephone authorization form for the Owner is on file.
 
     A Withdrawal Charge will be assessed on each systematic withdrawal made
during the first nine Contract Years, unless the amount withdrawn qualifies as a
Free Withdrawal Amount. (See "Withdrawal Charge -- Free Withdrawal Amount.")
Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Program are permitted an Annual Free
Withdrawal Amount during the first Contract Year. No other charges are deducted
for this program.
 
     All Systematic Withdrawals will be paid to the Owner on the same day each
month, provided that day is a Valuation Day. If it is not, then payment will be
made on the next Valuation Day. Systematic withdrawals may be taxable, subject
to withholding, and subject to a 10% penalty tax. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
IL Annuity reserves the right to discontinue offering the Systematic Withdrawal
Program at any time and for any reason.
 
     Full and Partial Withdrawal Restrictions.  The Owner's right to make full
and partial withdrawals is subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law
or employee benefit plan.
 
     Restrictions on Distributions from Certain Types of Contracts.  There are
certain restrictions on surrenders of and partial withdrawals from Contracts
used as funding vehicles for Code Section 403(b) retirement programs. Section
403(b)(11) of the Code restricts the distribution under Section 403(b) annuity
contracts of: (i) elective contributions made in years beginning after December
31, 1988; (ii) earnings on those contributions; and (iii) earnings in such years
on amounts held as of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989.
Distributions of those amounts may only occur upon the death of the employee,
attainment of age 59 1/2, separation from service, disability, or financial
hardship. In addition, income attributable to elective contributions may not be
distributed in the case of hardship.
 
CONTRACT LOANS
 
   
     Owners of Contracts issued in connection with retirement programs meeting
the requirements of Section 403(b) of the Code (other than those programs
subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1984) may
borrow from the Company using their Contracts as collateral. Loans such
    
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   39
 
as these are subject to the provisions of any applicable retirement program and
to the Code. Owners should, therefore, consult their tax and retirement plan
advisers prior to taking a contract loan.
 
     At any time prior to the year the Owner reaches age 70 1/2, Owners may
borrow the lesser of (1) the maximum loan amount permitted under the Code, and
(2) 90% of the Surrender Value of their Contract less any existing loan amount,
determined as of the date of the loan. Loans in excess of the maximum amount
permitted under the Code will be treated as a taxable distribution rather than a
loan. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. The Company will only make contract
loans after approving a written application by the Owner. The written consent of
all assignees and irrevocable beneficiaries must be obtained before a loan will
be given.
 
     When a loan is made, the Company transfers an amount equal to the amount
borrowed from Separate Account Value or Fixed Account Value to the loan account.
The loan account is part of the Company's general account and Contract Value in
the loan account does not participate in the investment experience of any
Variable Account or Fixed Account. The Owner must indicate in the loan
application from which Variable Accounts or Fixed Account, and in what amounts,
Contract Value is to be transferred to the loan account. In the absence of any
such instructions from the Owner, the transfer(s) are made pro-rata on a last-
in, first out ("LIFO") basis from all Variable Accounts having Separate Account
Value and from the Fixed Account. Loans may be repaid by the Owner at any time
before the Annuity Commencement Date. Upon the repayment of any portion of a
loan, an amount equal to the repayment will be transferred from the loan account
to the Variable Account(s) or Fixed Account designated by the Owner or according
to the Owner's current Premium Payment allocation instructions.
 
     The Company charges interest on contract loans at an effective annual rate
of 6.0%. The Company pays interest on the Contract Value in the loan account at
rates it determines from time to time but never less than an effective annual
rate of 3.0%. Consequently, the net cost of a loan is the difference between
6.0% and the rate being paid from time to time on the Contract Value in the loan
account. The Company may declare from time to time higher current interest
rates. Different current interest rates may be applied to the loan account than
the rest of the Fixed Account. If not repaid, loans will automatically reduce
the amount of any Death Benefit, the amount payable upon a partial or full
withdrawal of Contract Value and the amount applied on the Annuity Commencement
Date to provide annuity payments.
 
     If at any time, the loan amount of a Contract exceeds the Surrender Value,
the Contract will be in default. In this event, the Company will send a Written
Request of default to the Owner stating the amount of loan repayment needed to
reinstate the Contract and the Owner will have 60 days, from the day the notice
is mailed, to pay the stated amount. If the Company does not receive the
required loan repayment within 60 days, it will terminate the Contract without
value. In addition, in order to comply with the requirements of the Code, loans
must be repaid in substantially equal installments, at least quarterly, over a
period of no longer than five years (which can be longer for certain home
loans). If these requirements are not satisfied, or if the Contract terminates
while a loan is outstanding, the loan balance will be treated as a taxable
distribution and may be subject to penalty tax, and the treatment of the
Contract under section 403(b) may be adversely affected.
 
     Any loan amount outstanding upon the death of the Owner or Annuitant is
deducted from any Death Benefit paid. In addition, a contract loan, whether or
not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Contract Value because the
investment experience of the Separate Account and the interest rates applicable
to the Fixed Account do not apply to the portion of Contract Value transferred
to the loan account. The longer the loan remains outstanding, the greater this
effect is likely to be.
 
DEATH BENEFIT BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
 
     Death of an Owner.  If the Contract is owned by Joint Owners and one Owner
dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the surviving Owner becomes the
sole Owner. If the Contract is owned by one person and a Contingent Owner is
named, the Contingent Owner will become the Owner if the sole Owner dies. If
there is no surviving Owner, the estate of the Owner will become the Owner. If
the Owner or Joint Owner who
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   40
 
is the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, then the provisions
relating to the death of an Annuitant (described below) will govern.
 
     The following options are available to sole surviving Owners or new Owners
of Non-Qualified Contracts who are not the Annuitant:
 
        (1) If the Owner is the spouse of the deceased Owner, he or she may
            continue the Contract as the new Owner.
 
        (2) If the Owner is not the spouse of the deceased Owner:
 
           (a) he or she may elect to receive the Contract Value, LESS any
               premium taxes not yet deducted, in a single sum within 5 years of
               the deceased Owner's death; or
 
           (b) he or she may elect to receive the Contract Value paid out under
               one of the approved payout plan options, provided that
               distributions begin within one year of the deceased Owner's death
               and the distribution period under the payout plan is for the life
               of, or for a period not exceeding the life expectancy of, the
               sole surviving or new Owner.
 
           If he or she does not elect one of the above options, the Company
           will pay the Contract Value five years from the date of the deceased
           Owner's death.
 
Under any of these options, sole surviving Owners or new Owners may exercise all
Ownership rights and privileges from the date of the deceased Owner's death
until the date that the Contract Value is paid. Similar rules apply to Qualified
Contracts.
 
     Death of the Annuitant.  If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity
Commencement Date, the Company will pay the Death Benefit described below to the
Beneficiaries named by the Owner in a lump sum. (Owners also may name contingent
beneficiaries.) If the Owner has named two or more primary beneficiaries, they
will share equally in the Death Benefit unless the Owner has specified
otherwise. If there are no living primary beneficiaries at the time of the
Annuitant's death, payments will be made to those contingent beneficiaries who
are living when payment of the Death Benefit is due. If all the beneficiaries
have predeceased the Annuitant, the Company will pay the Death Benefit to the
Owner, if living, or the Annuitant's estate. In lieu of a lump sum payment, the
beneficiary may elect, within 60 days of the date the Company receives due proof
of the Annuitant's death, to apply the Death Benefit to a payout plan option.
 
     If the Annuitant who is also an Owner dies, the provisions described
immediately above apply except that the beneficiary may only apply the Death
Benefit payment to a payout plan option if:
 
        (1) payments under the option begin within one (1) year of the
            Annuitant's death; and
 
        (2) payments under the option are payable over the beneficiary's life or
            over a period not greater than the beneficiary's life expectancy.
 
     Death Benefit.  If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date,
the Death Benefit is an amount equal to the greater of:
 
        (1) aggregate Premium Payments made under the Contract, LESS partial
            withdrawals as of the date the Company receives due proof of the
            deceased's death and payment instructions; or
 
        (2) Contract Value as of the date the Company receives due proof of the
            deceased's death and payment instructions;
 
LESS any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted. If the Contract is a
Qualified Contract, any outstanding loan amount on the date the Death Benefit is
paid will also be deducted.
 
DEATH OF PAYEE AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
 
     If the Payee dies after the Annuity Commencement Date, any Joint Payee
becomes the sole Payee. If there is no Joint Payee, the Successor Payee becomes
the sole Payee. If there is no Successor Payee, the remaining benefits are paid
to the estate of the last surviving Payee. The death of the Payee after the
Annuity
                                       30
<PAGE>   41
 
Commencement Date will have the effect stated in the payout plan option pursuant
to which annuity payments are being made. If the Owner dies on or after the
Annuity Commencement Date, any payments that remain must be made at least as
rapidly as under the payout plan in effect on the date of the Owner's death.
 
THE MATURITY BENEFIT
 
     If the Contract is in the accumulation phase on the Maturity Benefit Date,
IL Annuity will calculate the Maturity Benefit for each Eligible Variable
Account in which the Owner has value. The Maturity Benefit will be credited to
the Contract Value of an Eligible Variable Account only if the value of the
Eligible Variable Account on the Maturity Benefit Date is less than: (a) the sum
of the Eligible Premium Payments for such Eligible Variable Account, MINUS (b) a
percentage of all prior withdrawals and transfers from the Eligible Variable
Account.
 
     Eligible Premium Payments are those Premium Payments that initially were
allocated to a particular Eligible Variable Account at the time of payment,
provided the payment was made at least ten (10) years prior to the Maturity
Benefit Date.
 
     The Maturity Benefit to be credited to each Eligible Variable Account on
the Maturity Benefit Date is equal to: (a) the sum of the Eligible Premium
Payments for that particular Eligible Variable Account; MINUS (b) a percentage
of all prior withdrawals and transfers from that Eligible Variable Account;
MINUS (c) the value of that Eligible Variable Account on the Maturity Benefit
Date.
 
   
     The Maturity Benefit Date is the later of the Annuitant's age 70 and 10
years after the Date of Issue. If the Contract is owned by Joint Owners who are
spouses at the time one Joint Owner dies, the Maturity Benefit Date will become
the date the surviving spouse attains age 70. If the Contract is owned by Joint
Owners who are not spouses and one of the Joint Owners dies before the Maturity
Benefit Date, the Maturity Benefit is not available to the sole surviving Owner.
Currently, all Variable Accounts are Eligible Variable Accounts. The Van Eck
Worldwide Hard Assets Variable Account became an Eligible Variable Account on
March 5, 1998. Only new allocations made to the Van Eck Worldwide Hard Assets
Variable Account on or after March 5, 1998 will be treated as Eligible Premium
Payments for purposes of calculating the Maturity Benefit on the Maturity
Benefit Date, provided the new allocations have been held in that Variable
Account for ten (10) years.
    
 
     The Maturity Benefit will not be credited to Contract Value if the Owner
chooses an Annuity Commencement Date that is earlier than the Maturity Benefit
Date.
 
     A TRANSFER OR A PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS OUT OF AN ELIGIBLE
VARIABLE ACCOUNT WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ELIGIBLE PREMIUM PAYMENTS HELD IN THE
ELIGIBLE VARIABLE ACCOUNT IN THE SAME PROPORTION AS THE TRANSFER OR WITHDRAWAL
REDUCED THE VALUE OF THE ELIGIBLE VARIABLE ACCOUNT. EXAMPLES #3, 4 AND 6 BELOW
ILLUSTRATE HOW THIS FEATURE OF THE MATURITY BENEFIT WORKS.
 
     For purposes of calculating the value of an Eligible Variable Account, the
Company deems all transfers and withdrawals to be first a withdrawal of Premium
Payments, then of earnings. Transfers out of an Eligible Variable Account
include transfers resulting from Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Account
Balancing; withdrawals out of an Eligible Variable Account include withdrawals
resulting from the Systematic Withdrawal Payments.
 
     The following examples illustrate how the Maturity Benefit works:
 
          Example #1:
 
          Suppose an Owner buys a Contract with a single Premium Payment of
     $50,000 at age 55 and immediately allocates the $50,000 to an Eligible
     Variable Account. The Owner does not withdraw or transfer any amounts from
     the Eligible Variable Account. As of the Maturity Benefit Date (which is
     fifteen years later when the Owner is age 70), the $50,000 qualifies as an
     Eligible Premium Payment because it was made fifteen years prior to the
     Maturity Benefit Date and so it meets the requirement that payment be made
     ten years prior to the Maturity Benefit Date.
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   42
 
          On the Maturity Benefit Date (Owner's age 70), IL Annuity will
     calculate the Maturity Benefit for the Eligible Variable Account. IL
     Annuity will total the value of all Eligible Premium Payments in the
     Eligible Variable Account -- in this case $50,000. If the value of the
     Eligible Variable Account on the Maturity Benefit Date is less than
     $50,000, IL Annuity will automatically credit the difference to Contract
     Value.
 
          Example #2:
 
          Assume the same facts as in Example #1, except that the Owner
     specifies an Annuity Commencement Date of age 65 and begins to receive
     payments under one of the payout options available under the Contract. At
     age 70 (the Maturity Benefit Date), IL Annuity does not calculate the
     Maturity Benefit and does not credit a Maturity Benefit to Contract Value.
     By selecting an Annuity Commencement Date (age 65) that is earlier than the
     Maturity Benefit Date (age 70), the Owner forfeited all eligibility for the
     Maturity Benefit.
 
          Example #3:
 
          Assume the same facts as in Example #1, except that the Owner
     transfers $40,000 from the Eligible Variable Account at age 69. At that
     time, the total value of the Eligible Variable Account is $100,000. The
     transfer of $40,000 reduced the value of the Eligible Variable Account by
     40% ($40,000/$100,000 = .40). No additional transfers or withdrawals are
     made prior to the Maturity Benefit Date. On the Maturity Benefit Date, the
     sum of the Eligible Premium Payments is $50,000 and is reduced by 40% to
     take into account the transfer at age 69 ($50,000 X .40 = $20,000), leaving
     $30,000 ($50,000 - $20,000 = $30,000). If on the Maturity Benefit Date the
     value of the Eligible Variable Account is less than $30,000, IL Annuity
     will automatically credit the difference to Contract Value.
 
          Example #4:
 
          Assume the same facts as in Example #1, except that at age 65 the
     Owner deposits (or transfers) an additional $50,000 Premium Payment into
     the Eligible Variable Account. At age 69, when the value of the Eligible
     Variable Account is $150,000, the Owner withdraws $40,000. The withdrawal
     reduced the value of the Eligible Variable Account by 26.667%
     ($40,000/$150,000 = .26667). No additional transfers or withdrawals are
     made before the Maturity Benefit Date. On the Maturity Benefit Date, the
     sum of Eligible Premium Payments is $50,000. (The second Premium Payment of
     $50,000 does not qualify as an Eligible Premium Payment because it was made
     only five years prior to the Maturity Benefit Date and does not meet the
     requirement that payment be made ten years prior to the Maturity Benefit
     Date.) This sum is then reduced by 26.667% to take into account the
     transfer at age 69 ($50,000 X .26667 = $13,333.33), leaving $36,666.67
     ($50,000 - $13,333.33 = $36,666.67). If on the Maturity Benefit Date the
     value of the Eligible Variable Account is less than $36,666.67, IL Annuity
     will automatically credit the difference to Contract Value.
 
          Example #5:
 
          Assume the Owner deposits Premium Payments of $5,000 per year into the
     same Eligible Variable Account beginning at age 55 until the Maturity
     Benefit Date. By age 70, the Owner had paid $75,000 in Premium Payments and
     had taken no withdrawals or transfers. The sum of the Eligible Premium
     Payments on the Maturity Benefit Date (age 70) is $25,000 because only the
     five Premium Payments made prior to age 60 ($5,000 X 5 = $25,000) meet the
     requirement that payment be made ten years prior to the Maturity Benefit
     Date. If on the Maturity Benefit Date the value of the Eligible Variable
     Account is less than $25,000, IL Annuity will automatically credit the
     difference to Contract Value.
 
          Example #6:
 
          Assume the same facts as in Example #5, except that the Owner
     transfers $10,000 out of the Eligible Variable Account at age 68 when the
     value of the Eligible Variable Account is $100,000. The
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   43
 
     transfer reduced the value of the Eligible Variable Account by 10%
     ($10,000/$100,000 = .10). The next year, the Owner withdraws $9,000 when
     the value of the Eligible Variable Account is $90,000. The withdrawal
     reduced the value of the Eligible Variable Account by 10% ($9,000/$90,000 =
     .10). No additional transfers or withdrawals are made prior to the Maturity
     Benefit Date. On the Maturity Benefit Date the sum of the Eligible Premium
     Payments ($25,000) is reduced by 20% to take into account both the 10%
     transfer at age 68 and the 10% withdrawal at age 69 ($25,000 X .20 =
     $5,000), leaving $20,000 ($25,000 - $5,000 = $20,000). If on the Maturity
     Benefit Date the value of the Eligible Variable Account is less than
     $20,000, IL Annuity will automatically credit the difference to Contract
     Value.
 
          Example #7:
 
          Spousal Joint Owners: If the Contract is owned by Joint Owners who are
     spouses at the time one of the Joint Owners dies, the surviving spouse may
     continue the Contract. The Maturity Benefit Date will become the date the
     surviving spouse attains age 70. On that date, IL Annuity will calculate
     the Maturity Benefit for each Eligible Variable Account with value.
 
          Example #8:
 
          If the Contract is owned by Joint Owners who are not spouses and one
     of the Joint Owners dies, the Maturity Benefit is not available to the sole
     surviving Owner.
 
     The Company will continue to pay a Maturity Benefit on Premium Payments
allocated to an Eligible Variable Account if: (a) the Portfolio underlying an
Eligible Variable Account changes its investment objective; (b) the Company
determines that an investment in the Portfolio underlying an Eligible Variable
Account is no longer appropriate in light of the purposes of the Separate
Account; or (c) shares of a Portfolio underlying an Eligible Variable Account
are no longer available for investment by the Separate Account and IL Annuity is
forced to redeem all shares of the Portfolio held by the Eligible Variable
Account.
 
ANNUITY PAYMENTS ON THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
 
   
     The Annuity Commencement Date is selected by the Owner. If the Owner does
not specify, the Annuity Commencement Date is the later of the Annuitant's age
70 or ten (10) years after the Date of Issue. For non-qualified contracts, the
Annuity Commencement Date may be no later than the contract anniversary
following the Annuitant's 85th birthday. For Qualified Contracts purchased in
connection with qualified plans under Code sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) and
457, the Code requires that the Annuity Commencement Date must be no later than
April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the year in which the Owner
(i) reaches age 70 1/2 or (ii) retires and the payment must be made in a
specified form or manner. If the Owner is a "5 percent owner" (as defined in the
Code), or in the case of an IRA that satisfies Code section 408, the Annuity
Commencement Date must be no later than the date described in (i). Roth IRAs
under Section 408A of the Code do not require distributions at any time prior to
the Owner's death.
    
 
     If the Owner changes the Annuity Commencement Date to a date earlier than
the Maturity Benefit Date, then the Owner will lose his/her eligibility for the
Maturity Benefit.
 
     The Annuity Commencement Date may be changed subject to the following
limitations: (1) the Owner's Written Request must be received at the Annuity
Service Office at least 31 days before the current Annuity Commencement Date,
and (2) the requested Annuity Commencement Date must be a Contract Anniversary
or the date on which the Owner fully withdraws the Surrender Value.
 
     On the Annuity Commencement Date, the adjusted Contract Value will be
applied under the life income payout plan option with ten years guaranteed,
unless the Owner elects to have the proceeds paid under another payment option
or to receive the Surrender Value in a lump sum. (See "Payout Plan Options.") In
certain states, the Surrender Value will be applied to the payout plan option
rather than the adjusted Contract Value. Unless the Owner instructs the Company
otherwise, amounts in the Fixed Account will be used to provide a fixed-payout
plan option and amounts in the Separate Account will be used to provide a
variable payout plan option.
 
                                       33
<PAGE>   44
 
     The adjusted Contract Value is the Contract Value:
 
        (1) MINUS the pro-rated portion of the Contract Fee (unless the Annuity
            Commencement Date falls on the contract quarter);
 
        (2) MINUS any applicable premium taxes not yet deducted.
 
   
     For Qualified Contracts, the amount of any outstanding loan is also
deducted, and distributions must satisfy certain requirements specified in the
Code.
    
 
PAYMENTS
 
   
     Any full or partial withdrawal, Death Benefit payment, (or in the case of
Qualified Contracts, payment of contract loan proceeds) will usually be paid
within seven days of receipt of a Written Request, any information or
documentation reasonably necessary to process the request, and (in the case of a
Death Benefit) receipt and filing of due proof of death. However, payments may
be postponed if:
    
 
        1. the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend
           and holiday closings, or trading on the exchange is restricted as
           determined by the SEC; or
 
        2. the SEC permits by an order the postponement for the protection of
           Owners; or
 
        3. the SEC determines that an emergency exists that would make the
           disposal of securities held in the Separate Account or the
           determination of the value of the Separate Account's net assets not
           reasonably practicable.
 
     If a recent check or draft has been submitted, the Company has the right to
delay payment until it has assured itself that the check or draft has been
honored.
 
     The Company has the right to defer payment of any full or partial
withdrawal or transfer from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date
of receipt of Written Request for such a surrender or transfer. If payment is
not made within 30 days after receipt of documentation necessary to complete the
transaction, or such shorter period required by a particular jurisdiction,
interest will be added to the amount paid from the date of receipt of
documentation at 3% or such higher rate required for a particular jurisdiction.
 
MODIFICATION
 
     Upon notice to the Owner, the Company may modify the Contract if:
 
        1. necessary to permit the Contract or the Separate Account to comply
           with any applicable law or regulation issued by a government agency;
           or
 
        2. necessary to assure continued qualification of the Contract under the
           Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities
           or variable annuity contracts; or
 
        3. necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Separate
           Account; or
 
        4. the modification provides additional investment options.
 
     In the event of most such modifications, the Company will make appropriate
endorsement to the Contract.
 
REPORTS TO OWNERS
 
     At least annually, the Company will mail to each Owner, at such Owner's
last known address of record, a report setting forth the Contract Value
(including the Contract Value in each Variable Account and the Fixed Account) of
the Contract, Premium Payments paid and charges deducted since the last report,
partial withdrawals made since the last report and any further information
required by any applicable law or regulation.

INQUIRIES
 
     Inquiries regarding a Contract may be made by writing to the Company at its
Annuity Service Office.
 
                               THE FIXED ACCOUNT
 
     An Owner may allocate some or all of the Net Premium Payments and transfer
some or all of the Contract Value to the Fixed Account, which is part of the
Company's general account and pays interest at declared rates. The principal,
after deductions, is also guaranteed. The Company's general account supports its
insurance and annuity obligations. Since the Fixed Account is part of the
general account, the Company assumes the risk of investment gain or loss on this
amount. All assets in the general account are subject to the Company's general
liabilities from business operations. The Fixed Account may not be available in
all states.
 
     The Fixed Account has not been, and is not required to be, registered with
the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, and neither the Fixed Account nor the
Company's general account has been registered as an investment company under the
1940 Act. Therefore, neither the Company's general account, the Fixed Account,
nor any interests therein are generally subject to regulation under the 1933 Act
or the 1940 Act. The disclosures relating to the Fixed Account which are
included in this prospectus are for the Owner's information and have not been
reviewed by the SEC. However, such disclosures may be subject to certain
generally applicable provisions of federal securities laws relating to the
accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.
 
FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE
 
     The portion of the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account is the
Fixed Account Value which is credited with interest, as described below. The
Fixed Account Value reflects interest credited to Contract Value in the Fixed
Account, Net Premium Payments allocated to or Contract Value transferred to the
Fixed Account, transfers of Contract Value out of the Fixed Account, full and
partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account, and charges assessed in connection
with the Contract. The Fixed Account Value is guaranteed to accumulate at a
minimum effective annual interest rate of 3%.
 
     The Fixed Account Value is equal to: (1) Net Premium Payments allocated to
the Fixed Account, PLUS (2) amounts transferred to the Fixed Account, PLUS (3)
interest credited the Fixed Account, MINUS (4) any partial withdrawals or
transfers from the Fixed Account, and MINUS (5) any withdrawal charges, contract
fees or premium taxes deducted from the Fixed Account.
 
   
     The Company intends to credit the Fixed Account with interest at current
rates in excess of the minimum guaranteed rate but is not obligated to do so.
The Company has no specific formula for determining current interest rates. Some
of the factors that the Company may consider, in its sole discretion, in
determining whether to credit interest in excess of the 3% guaranteed rate are:
general economic trends, rates of return currently available and anticipated on
the Company's investments, regulatory and tax requirements, and competitive
factors. The Fixed Account Value will not share in the investment performance of
the Company's general account or any portion thereof. Because the Company, in
its sole discretion, anticipates changing the current interest rate from time to
time, different allocations to the Fixed Account will be credited with different
current interest rates.
    
 
     The interest rate to be credited to each amount allocated or transferred to
the Fixed Account will apply to the end of the calendar year in which such
amount is received or transferred. At the end of the calendar year, the Company
will determine a new current interest rate on such amount and accrued interest
thereon (which may be a different current interest rate from the current
interest rate on new allocations to the Fixed Account on that date). The rate
declared on such amount and accrued interest will be guaranteed for the
following calendar year. Any interest credited on amounts in the Fixed Account
in excess of the minimum guaranteed effective rate of 3% per year will be
determined in the sole discretion of the Company. The Owner therefore assumes
the risk that interest credited may not exceed the minimum guaranteed rate.
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   46
 
     Amounts deducted from the Fixed Account for the administration fee,
withdrawals, transfers to the Variable Accounts, and other charges are
currently, for the purpose of crediting interest, accounted for on a last-in,
first-out ("LIFO") basis.
 
     The Company reserves the right to change the method of crediting interest
from time to time, provided that such changes do not have the effect of reducing
the guaranteed rate of interest below 3% per annum or shorten the period for
which the interest rate applies to less than one calendar year (except for the
year in which such amount is received or transferred).
 
TRANSFER PRIVILEGES
 
     General.  Transfers to the Fixed Account must be at least $1,000. A
transfer charge of $25 will be imposed for the thirteenth and each subsequent
request made by the Owner to transfer Contract Value from one or more Variable
Accounts to the Fixed Account (or to one or more Variable Accounts) during a
single Contract Year prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.
 
     Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Owner may transfer up to 20% of
the Fixed Account Value (as determined at the beginning of the Contract Year)
from the Fixed Account to one or more of the Variable Accounts in any Contract
Year. No fee is charged for transfers from the Fixed Account to one or more
Variable Accounts and such a transfer is not considered a transfer for purposes
of assessing a transfer charge.
 
     Dollar-Cost Averaging.  An Owner may elect to automatically transfer (on a
monthly or quarterly basis) specified dollar amounts from the Fixed Account (as
well as one or more Variable Accounts) to one or more Variable Accounts. The
minimum transfer amount for dollar-cost averaging is $100 to each Variable
Account. Once elected, dollar-cost averaging from the Fixed Account remains in
effect for the life of the Contract until the Fixed Account is depleted or until
the Owner cancels the election (by Written Request or by telephone if the
Company has the Owner's telephone authorization form on file). There is no
additional charge for dollar-cost averaging and a transfer under this program is
not considered a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer charge. The
Company reserves the right to discontinue offering the dollar-cost averaging
facility at any time and for any reason. (See "Transfer Privileges -- Dollar
Cost Averaging.")
 
PAYMENT DEFERRAL
 
     The Company has the right to defer payment of any full or partial
withdrawal or transfer from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date
of receipt of Written Request for such a surrender or transfer. If payment is
not made within 30 days after receipt of documentation necessary to complete the
transaction, or such shorter period required by a particular jurisdiction,
interest will be added to the amount paid from the date of receipt of
documentation at 3% or such higher rate required for a particular jurisdiction.
 
                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE (CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE)
 
     General.  No charge for sales expenses is deducted from Premium Payments at
the time Premium Payments are paid. However, within certain time limits
described below, a Withdrawal Charge (contingent deferred sales charge) is
deducted from the Contract Value if a full or partial withdrawal is made before
the Annuity Commencement Date. Also, a Withdrawal Charge is deducted from
amounts applied to certain payout plan options. (See "Annuity Payments on the
Annuity Commencement Date".)
 
     In the event Withdrawal Charges are not sufficient to cover sales expenses,
the loss will be borne by the Company; conversely, if the amount of such charges
proves more than enough to cover such expenses, the excess will be retained by
the Company. The Company does not currently believe that the Withdrawal Charges
imposed will cover the expected costs of distributing the Contracts. Any
shortfall will be made up from the Company's general assets which may include
amounts derived from the mortality and expense risk charge.

                                       36

     Charge for Partial or Full Withdrawal.  A charge is imposed on the partial
or full withdrawal of Premium Payments during the first nine Contract Years. The
Withdrawal Charge is assessed as a percentage of the amount withdrawn based on
the number of years between the request for Withdrawal and the Date of Issue and
is based on the rates in the table below. The Withdrawal Charge is separately
calculated for each withdrawal of Contract Value within the first nine years
from the Contract's Date of Issue. Amounts subject to the Withdrawal Charge will
be deemed to be first from Premium Payments, then from earnings. No Withdrawal
Charge applies to Contract Value in excess of aggregate Premium Payments.

     Any applicable Withdrawal Charge is deducted pro-rata from the remaining
value in the Variable Accounts or Fixed Account from which the withdrawal is
being made. If such remaining Separate Account Value or Fixed Account Value is
insufficient for this purpose, the Withdrawal Charge is deducted pro-rata from
all Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account in which the Contract is invested
based on the remaining Contract Value in each Variable Account and the Fixed
Account.
 
     Free Withdrawal Amount.  In each Contract Year after the first Contract
Year, up to 10% of Contract Value, as determined at the beginning of the
Contract Year, may be withdrawn during that year without a Withdrawal Charge
(the "Annual Free Withdrawal Amount"). Any amounts withdrawn in excess of this
10% after the first and through the ninth full Contract Year from the Contract's
Date of Issue will be assessed a Withdrawal Charge. This right is not cumulative
from Contract Year to Contract Year. Such withdrawals may be subject to the 10%
federal penalty tax if made by an Owner before age 59 1/2. Withdrawals under the
Systematic Withdrawal Program are permitted an Annual Free Withdrawal Amount
during the first Contract Year.
 
     Waiver of Withdrawal Charge.  If permitted by state law, upon Written
Request from the Owner before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Withdrawal
Charge will be waived on any full or partial withdrawal if the Annuitant or the
Annuitant's spouse is confined for a specified period to a hospital (as
described in the Contract) or a long term care facility (as described in the
Contract). If the Annuitant becomes terminally ill (as described in the
Contract) prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and if permitted by state law,
the Company will waive the Withdrawal Charge on any full withdrawal or any
partial withdrawal, provided the partial withdrawal is at least $500 and a
$5,000 balance remains in the Accounts after the withdrawal.
 
   
     Under the terms of the Post-Secondary Education Rider, if the Owner, the
Owner's spouse, the Owner's child or the Annuitant is enrolled in a college,
university, vocational, technical, trade or business school, the Company will
waive the Withdrawal Charge on one withdrawal of up to 20% of Contract Value in
each Contract Year prior to the Annuity Commencement Date while the Annuitant is
alive, so long as this waiver is permitted by state law. The maximum withdrawal
permitted under the Post-Secondary Education Rider, when combined with the
Annual Free Withdrawal Amount, is 20% of Contract Value per Contract Year. Prior
to the withdrawal, the Company must receive at its Home Office written proof of
enrollment satisfactory to the Company within one (1) year of the date of
enrollment. (See "Free Withdrawal Amount" and the "Statement of Additional
Information".)
    
 
     Employee and Agent Purchases.  If permitted by state law, the Withdrawal
Charge will be waived on any full or partial withdrawals from Contracts sold to
agents or employees of Indianapolis Life Insurance Company (or its affiliates
and subsidiaries).

CONTRACT FEE
 
     At the end of each Contract quarter (or on the date of full surrender of
the Contract) prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Company deducts from
the Contract Value a quarterly contract fee of $7.50 to reimburse it for
administrative expenses relating to the Contract. The fee will be deducted from
each Variable Account and the Fixed Account based on the proportion that the
value in each such Variable Account and the Fixed Account bears to the total
Contract Value. The Company does not expect to make a profit on this fee. The
charge does not apply after an annuity payout plan has begun. Deduction of the
Contract Fee is currently waived for all Qualified Contracts. The Company also
currently waives deduction of the Contract Fee for Non-Qualified Contracts whose
cumulative Premium Payments on the date the Contract Fee is assessed are equal
to or greater than $100,000. The Company reserves the right to modify this
waiver upon 30 days written notice to Contract Owners.
 
ASSET-BASED ADMINISTRATION CHARGE
 
     The Company deducts a daily administration charge to compensate it for
certain expenses it incurs in administration of the Contract. The charge is
deducted from the assets of the Separate Account at an annual rate of 0.15%.
This charge will continue to be assessed after annuitization if annuity payments
are made on a variable basis. The Company does not expect to make a profit from
this charge.
 
TRANSFER FEE
 
     A transfer fee of $25 will be imposed for the 13th and each subsequent
transfer during a Contract year. For the purpose of assessing such a transfer
fee, each Written Request would be considered to be one transfer, regardless of
the number of Variable Accounts affected by the transfer. The transfer fee would
be deducted from the Variable Account from which the transfer is made. If a
transfer is made from more than one Variable Account at the same time, the
transfer fee would be deducted pro-rata from the remaining Separate Account
Value in such Variable Account(s). The Company reserves the right to waive the
transfer fee.
 
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
 
     To compensate the Company for assuming mortality and expense risks, the
Company deducts a daily mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the
Separate Account. The charge is at a daily rate of 0.003404%. If applied on an
annual basis this rate would be 1.25% (approximately 0.90% for mortality risk
and 0.35% for expense risk). This charge will continue to be assessed if annuity
payments are made on a variable basis either before or after the Annuity
Commencement Date.
 
   
     The mortality risk the Company assumes is that Annuitants may live for a
longer period of time than estimated when the guarantees in the Contract were
established. Because of these guarantees, each Annuitant is assured that
longevity will not have an adverse effect on the annuity payments received. The
mortality risk that the Company assumes also includes a guarantee to pay a Death
Benefit if the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date. The expense
risk that the Company assumes is the risk that the administrative fees and
transfer fees (if imposed) may be insufficient to cover actual future expenses.
The Company may use any profits from this charge to pay the costs of
distributing the Contracts.
    
 
FUND EXPENSES
 
     Because the Separate Account purchases shares or units of the various
Funds, the net assets of the Separate Account will reflect the investment
advisory fees and other operating expenses incurred by such Funds. See the
accompanying current Prospectuses for the Funds.
 
PREMIUM TAXES
 
     Various states and other governmental entities levy a premium tax,
currently ranging up to 3.5%, on annuity contracts issued by insurance
companies. Premium tax rates are subject to change from time to time
 
                                       38
<PAGE>   49
 
by legislative and other governmental action. In addition, other government
units within a state may levy such taxes.
 
     The timing of tax levies varies from one taxing authority to another. If
premium taxes are applicable to a Contract, they will be deducted either (a)
from Premium Payments as they are received, (b) from Contract Value upon full or
partial withdrawal, (c) from adjusted Contract Value upon application to a
payout plan option, or (d) upon payment of a Death Benefit. The Company,
however, reserves the right to deduct premium taxes at the time such taxes are
paid to the taxing authority.
 
OTHER TAXES
 
     Currently, no charge is made against the Separate Account for any federal,
state or local taxes (other than premium taxes) that the Company incurs or that
may be attributable to the Separate Account or the Contracts. The Company may,
however, make such a charge in the future from Surrender Value, Death Benefits
or annuity payments, as appropriate. Such taxes may include taxes (levied by any
government entity) which the Company determines to have resulted from: (1) the
establishment or maintenance of the Separate Account, (2) receipt by the Company
of Premium Payments, (3) issuance of the Contracts, or (4) the payment of
annuity payments.
 
                              PAYOUT PLAN OPTIONS
 
ELECTION OF PAYOUT PLAN OPTIONS
 
     On the Annuity Commencement Date, the adjusted Contract Value will be
applied under a payout plan option, unless the Owner elects to receive the
Surrender Value in a single sum. (See "Annuity Payments on the Annuity
Commencement Date.") If an election of a payout plan option is not on file at
the Company's Annuity Service Office on the Annuity Commencement Date, the
proceeds will be paid as a life income annuity with payments for ten years
guaranteed. A payout plan option may be elected, revoked, or changed by the
Owner at any time before the Annuity Commencement Date while the Annuitant is
living. An election of a payout plan option and any revocation or change must be
made by Written Request signed by the Owner and/or beneficiary, as appropriate.
The Owner may elect to apply any portion of the adjusted Contract Value to any
payout plan described below or any other plan then being offered by the Company.
The payout plans currently offered by the Company provide either variable
annuity payments or fixed annuity payments or a combination of both.
 
     Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Owner can apply the entire
Surrender Value under a payout plan option, or a beneficiary can apply the Death
Benefit under a payout plan option. The payout plan options available are
described below.
 
     The Company reserves the right to refuse the election of a payout plan
option other than paying the adjusted Contract Value in a lump sum if the total
amount applied to a payout plan option would be less than $2,500, or the amount
of payments would be less than $25.
 
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
 
     Fixed annuity payments are periodic payments from the Company to the
designated Annuitant, the amount of which is fixed and guaranteed by the
Company. The amount of each payment depends only on the form and duration of the
payout plan option chosen, the age of the Annuitant, the sex of the Annuitant
(if applicable), the amount applied to purchase the annuity payments and the
applicable annuity purchase rates in the Contract. The annuity purchase rates in
the Contract are based on a minimum guaranteed interest rate of 3.0%. The
Company may, in its sole discretion, make annuity payments in an amount based on
a higher interest rate.
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   50
 
VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
 
     The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment is determined in
the same manner as that of a fixed annuity payment. Therefore, for any
particular amount applied to a particular payout plan option, the dollar amount
of the first variable annuity payment and the first fixed annuity payment
(assuming such fixed payment is based on the minimum guaranteed 3.0% interest
rate) would be the same. Variable annuity payments after the first payment are
similar to fixed annuity payments except that the amount of each payment varies
to reflect the net investment performance of the Variable Account(s) selected by
the Owner or Annuitant.
 
     The net investment performance of a Variable Account is translated into a
variation in the amount of variable annuity payments through the use of annuity
units. The amount of the first variable annuity payment associated with each
Variable Account is applied to purchase annuity units at the annuity unit value
for the Variable Account on the Annuity Commencement Date. The number of annuity
units of each Variable Account attributable to a Contract then remains fixed
unless an exchange of annuity units is made as described below. Each Variable
Account has a separate annuity unit value that changes with each valuation
period in substantially the same manner as do accumulation units of the Variable
Account.
 
     The dollar value of each variable annuity payment after the first is equal
to the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of annuity units
under a Contract of a particular Variable Account by the annuity unit value for
the Variable Account for the valuation period which ends immediately preceding
the date of each such payment. If the net investment return of the Variable
Account for a payment period is equal to the pro-rated portion of the 3.0%
annual assumed investment rate, the variable annuity payment attributable to
that Variable Account for that period will equal the payment for the prior
period. To the extent that such net investment return exceeds an annualized rate
of 3.0% for a payment period, the payment for that period will be greater than
the payment for the prior period and to the extent that such return for a period
falls short of an annualized rate of 3.0%, the payment for that period will be
less than the payment for the prior period. The Owner may choose an assumed
interest rate of 3.0%, 4.0%, or 5.0% at the time a variable payout plan is
selected.
 
     After the Annuity Commencement Date, a Annuitant may change the selected
Variable Account(s) by Written Request up to one time per contract year. No
charge is assessed for this transfer. Such a change will be made by exchanging
annuity units of one Variable Account for another Variable Account on an
equivalent dollar value basis. See the Statement of Additional Information for
examples of annuity unit value calculations and variable annuity payment
calculations.
 
DESCRIPTION OF PAYOUT PLAN OPTIONS
 
     Option 1 -- Installment Income For a Fixed Period.  To have the proceeds
paid out in equal monthly installments for a fixed number of years between 1 and
30 years. The amount of the payment is not guaranteed if a variable payout plan
is selected. If a fixed payout plan is selected, the payments for each $1,000
applied will not be less than those shown in the Fixed Period Table in Section
13 of the Contract. In the event of the Payee's death, a Successor Payee may
receive the payments or may elect to receive the present value of the remaining
payments in a lump sum. If there is no Successor Payee, the present value of the
remaining payments will be paid to the estate of the last surviving Payee.
 
   
     Option 2 -- Installment Income In a Fixed Amount.  To have the proceeds
paid out in equal monthly installments of $5.00 or more for each $1,000 applied
until the full amount is paid out. In the event of the Payee's death, a
Successor Payee may receive the payments or may elect to receive the present
value of the remaining payments in a lump sum. If there is no Successor Payee,
the present value of the remaining payments will be paid to the estate of the
last surviving Payee.
    
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   51
 
     Option 3 -- One Life Income.  To have the proceeds paid in monthly
installments during the Payee's lifetime for as long as the Payee lives,* or
while the Payee is living with the guarantee that payments will be made for a
period certain of ten years; or while the Payee is living with the guarantee
that payments will be made for a period certain of twenty years. The amount of
each payment is not guaranteed if a variable payout plan is selected. If a fixed
payout plan is selected, the payment for each $1,000 applied will not be less
than that shown in the One Life Table in Section 12 of the Contract. Payments
guaranteed for 10 or 20 years certain may be commuted. Payments guaranteed only
for the life of the Payee may not be commuted.
 
     Option 4 -- Joint and Survivor Life Income.  To have proceeds paid out in
monthly installments jointly to two Payees and after one dies to the surviving
Payee.* If one Payee dies before the due date of the first payment, the
surviving Payee will receive payments under the One Life Income Option 3 with
payments guaranteed for 10 years certain. The payments may not be commuted.
 
     The amount of each payment will be determined from the tables in the
Contract that apply to the particular option using the Annuitant's age (and if
applicable, sex). Age will be determined from the last birthday at the due date
of the first payment.
 
                          HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
 
     From time to time, the Company may advertise or include in sales literature
yields, effective yields and total returns for the Variable Accounts. These
figures are based on historical earnings and do not indicate or project future
performance. The Company also may, from time to time, advertise or include in
sales literature Variable Account performance relative to certain performance
rankings and indices compiled by independent organizations. More detailed
information as to the calculation of performance, as well as comparisons with
unmanaged market indices, appears in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
     Performance data for the Variable Accounts is based on the investment
performance of the corresponding Portfolio of a Fund and reflects its expenses.
(See the Prospectuses for the Funds.)
 
     The "yield" of the Money Market Variable Account refers to the annualized
income generated by an investment in the Variable Account over a specified
seven-day period. The yield is calculated by assuming that the income generated
for that seven-day period is generated each seven-day period over a 52-week
period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is
calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in
the Variable Account is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield will be
slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of this assumed
reinvestment.
 
     The yield of a Variable Account (other than the Money Market Variable
Account) refers to the annualized income generated by an investment in the
Variable Account over a specified 30-day or one-month period. The yield is
calculated by assuming that the income generated by the investment during that
30-day or one-month period is generated each period over a 12-month period and
is shown as a percentage of the investment.
 
     Yield quotations do not reflect the Withdrawal Charge.
 
   
     The "total return" of a Variable Account refers to return quotations
assuming an investment under a Contract has been held in the Variable Account
for various periods of time. When a Variable Account or Portfolio has been in
operation for one, five, and ten years, respectively, the total return for these
periods will be provided.
    
 
     The average annual total return quotations represent the average annual
compounded rates of return that would equate an initial investment of $1,000
under a Contract to the redemption value of that investment as of the last day
of each of the periods for which total return quotations are provided. Average
annual total return information shows the average annual percentage change in
the value of an investment in the Variable Account from the beginning date of
the measuring period to the end of that period. This standardized version
 
- ---------------
* IT IS POSSIBLE UNDER THIS OPTION TO RECEIVE ONLY ONE ANNUITY PAYMENT IF THE
  PAYEE DIES (OR PAYEES DIE) BEFORE THE DUE DATE OF THE SECOND PAYMENT OR TO
  RECEIVE ONLY TWO ANNUITY PAYMENTS IF THE PAYEE DIES (OR PAYEES DIE) BEFORE THE
  DUE DATE OF THE THIRD PAYMENT, AND SO ON.
                                       41

of average annual total return reflects all historical investment results, less
all charges and deductions applied against the Variable Account (including any
Withdrawal Charge that would apply if an Owner terminated the Contract at the
end of each period indicated, but excluding any deductions for premium taxes).
 
     In addition to the standard version described above, total return
performance information computed on different non-standard bases may be used in
advertisements or sales literature. Average annual total return information may
be presented, computed on the same basis as described above, except deductions
will not include the Withdrawal Charge. In addition, the Company may from time
to time disclose average annual total return in non-standard formats and
cumulative total return for Contracts funded by the Variable Accounts.
 
   
     The Company may disclose yield, standard total returns, and non-standard
total returns for the Portfolios, including such disclosures for periods prior
to the date the Variable Account commenced operations. Sales literature or
advertisements may quote adjusted yields and total returns for the Portfolios
since their inception reduced by some or all of the fees and charges under the
Contract. Such adjusted historic Portfolio performance may include data that
precedes the inception dates of the Variable Accounts. This data is designed to
show the performance that could have resulted if the Contract had been in
existence during that time.
    
 
     Non-standard performance data will only be disclosed if the standard
performance data for the required periods is also disclosed. For additional
information regarding the calculation of other performance data, please refer to
the Statement of Additional Information.
 
     In advertising and sales literature (including illustrations), the
performance of each Variable Account may be compared with the performance of
other variable annuity issuers in general or to the performance of particular
types of variable annuities investing in mutual funds, or investment portfolios
of mutual funds with investment objectives similar to the Variable Account.
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), CDA Investment Technology ("CDA"),
Variable Annuity Research Data Service ("VARDS") and Morningstar, Inc.
("Morningstar") are independent services which monitor and rank the performance
of variable annuity issuers in each of the major categories of investment
objectives on an industry-wide basis.
 
     Lipper's and Morningstar's rankings include variable life insurance issuers
as well as variable annuity issuers. VARDS rankings compare only variable
annuity issuers. The performance analyses prepared by Lipper, CDA, VARDS and
Morningstar rank or illustrate such issuers on the basis of total return,
assuming reinvestment of distributions, but do not take sales charges,
redemption fees, or certain expense deductions at the separate account level
into consideration. In addition, VARDS prepares risk rankings, which consider
the effects of market risk on total return performance. This type of ranking
provides data as to which funds provide the highest total return within various
categories of funds defined by the degree of risk inherent in their investment
objectives.
 
     Advertising and sales literature may also compare the performance of each
Variable Account to the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 Common Stocks, a widely
used measure of stock performance. This unmanaged index assumes the reinvestment
of dividends but does not reflect any "deduction" for the expense of operating
or managing an investment portfolio. Other independent ranking services and
indices may also be used as a source of performance comparison.
 
     The Company may also report other information including the effect of
systematic withdrawals, systematic investments and tax-deferred compounding on a
Variable Account's investment returns, or returns in general, which may be
illustrated by tables, graphs, or charts. All income and capital gains derived
from Variable Account investments are reinvested and can lead to substantial
long-term accumulation of assets, provided that the Variable Account investment
experience is positive.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
 
                    THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND
                         IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE
 
INTRODUCTION
 
     This discussion is not intended to address the tax consequences resulting
from all of the situations in which a person may be entitled to or may receive a
distribution under the annuity contract issued by the Company. Any person
concerned about these tax implications should consult a competent tax advisor
before initiating any transaction. This discussion is based upon the Company's
understanding of the present federal income tax laws, as they are currently
interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). No representation is made
as to the likelihood of the continuation of the present federal income tax laws
or of the current interpretation by the IRS. Moreover, no attempt has been made
to consider any applicable state or other tax laws.
 
   
     The Contract may be purchased on a non-qualified basis or purchased and
used in connection with plans qualifying for favorable tax treatment. The
Qualified Contract is designed for use by individuals whose Premium Payments are
comprised solely of proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans
which are intended to qualify as plans entitled to special income tax treatment
under Sections 401(a), 403(b), 408, or 408A of the Code. The ultimate effect of
federal income taxes on the amounts held under a Contract, or annuity payments,
and on the economic benefit to the Owner, the Annuitant, or the beneficiary
depends on the type of retirement plan, on the tax and employment status of the
individual concerned, and on the Company's tax status. In addition, certain
requirements must be satisfied in purchasing a Qualified Contract with proceeds
from a tax-qualified plan and receiving distributions from a Qualified Contract
in order to continue receiving favorable tax treatment. Some retirement plans
are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated
into our Contract administration procedures. Owners, participants and
beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions
and other transactions with respect to the Contracts comply with applicable law.
Therefore, purchasers of Qualified Contracts should seek competent legal and tax
advice regarding the suitability of a Contract for their situation, the
applicable requirements, and the tax treatment of the rights and benefits of a
Contract. The following discussion assumes that Qualified Contracts are
purchased with proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans that
qualify for the intended special federal income tax treatment.
    
 
TAX STATUS OF THE CONTRACT
 
     Diversification Requirements.  Section 817(h) of the Code provides that
separate account investments underlying a contract must be "adequately
diversified" in accordance with Treasury regulations in order for the contract
to qualify as an annuity contract under Section 72 of the Code. The Separate
Account, through each underlying Fund, intends to comply with the
diversification requirements prescribed in regulations under Section 817(h) of
the Code, which affect how the assets in the various Variable Accounts may be
invested. Although the Company does not have direct control over the Funds in
which the Separate Account invests, we believe that each Fund in which the
Separate Account owns shares will meet the diversification requirements, and
therefore, the Contract will be treated as an annuity contract under the Code.
 
   
     Owner Control.  In certain circumstances, Owners of variable annuity
contracts may be considered the owners, for federal income tax purposes, of the
assets of the separate account used to support their contracts. In those
circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be
includible in the variable annuity contract owner's gross income. The IRS has
stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be considered
the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses incidents
of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control
over the assets. The Treasury Department has also announced, in connection with
the issuance of regulations concerning investment diversification, that those
regulations "do not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which
investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the
investor (i.e., the Contract Owner), rather than the insurance company, to be
treated as the owner of the assets in the account." This announcement also
states
    
 
                                       43
<PAGE>   54
 
   
that guidance would be issued by way of regulations or rulings on the "extent to
which policyholders may direct their investments to particular Variable Accounts
without being treated as owners of the underlying assets."
    
 
     The ownership rights under the Contracts are similar to, but different in
certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was
determined that contract owners were not owners of separate account assets. For
example, the Owner of a Contract has the choice of one or more Variable Accounts
in which to allocate Net Premium Payments and Contract Values, and may be able
to transfer among Variable Accounts more frequently than in such rulings. These
differences could result in an Owner being treated as the Owner of a pro rata
share of the assets of the Separate Account. In addition, the Company does not
know what standards will be set forth, if any, in the regulations or rulings
which the Treasury Department has stated it expects to issue. The Company
therefore reserves the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to
prevent the contract Owner from being considered the Owner of any portion of the
assets of the Separate Account.
 
   
     Required Distributions.  In order to be treated as an annuity contract for
federal income tax purposes, Section 72(s) of the Code requires any
Non-Qualified Contract to provide that: (a) if any Owner dies on or after the
Annuity Commencement Date but prior to the time the entire interest in the
contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest will be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used
as of the date of that Owner's death; and (b) if any Owner dies prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date, the entire interest in the Contract will be
distributed within five years after the date of the Owner's death. These
requirements will be considered satisfied as to any portion of the Owner's
interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a "designated beneficiary"
and which is distributed over the life of such beneficiary or over a period not
extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, provided that such
distributions begin within one year of that Owner's death. The Owner's
"designated beneficiary" is the person designated by such Owner as a Beneficiary
and to whom Ownership of the contract passes by reason of death and must be a
natural person. However, if the Owner's "designated beneficiary" is the
surviving spouse of the Owner, the Contract may be continued with the surviving
spouse as the new Owner.
    
 
     The Non-Qualified Contracts contain provisions which are intended to comply
with the requirements of Section 72(s) of the Code, although no regulations
interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. The Company intends to
review such provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply
with the requirements of Code Section 72(s) when clarified by regulation or
otherwise.
 
     Other rules may apply to Qualified Contracts.
 
     The following discussion assumes that the Contracts will qualify as annuity
contracts for federal income tax purposes.
 
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES
 
     In General.  Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities in
general. The Company believes that an Owner who is a natural person is not taxed
on increases in the value of a Contract until distribution occurs by withdrawing
all or part of the Contract Value (e.g., partial and full withdrawals) or as
annuity payments under the payment option elected. For this purpose, the
assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the Contract
Value (and in the case of a Qualified Contract, any portion of an interest in
the qualified plan) generally will be treated as a distribution. The taxable
portion of a distribution (in the form of a single sum payment or payment
option) is taxable as ordinary income.
 
     The Owner of any annuity contract who is not a natural person generally
must include in income any increase in the excess of the Contract Value over the
"investment in the contract" during the taxable year. There are some exceptions
to this rule, and a prospective Owner that is not a natural person may wish to
discuss these with a competent tax advisor.
 
     The following discussion generally applies to Contracts owned by natural
persons.
 
     Withdrawals.  In the case of a partial withdrawal from a Qualified
Contract, under Section 72(e) of the
 
                                       44
<PAGE>   55
 
Code, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable, generally based on
the ratio of the "investment in the contract" to the participant's total accrued
benefit or balance under the retirement plan. The "investment in the contract"
generally equals the portion, if any, of any Premium Payment paid by or on
behalf of the individual under a Contract which was not excluded from the
individual's gross income. For Contracts issued in connection with qualified
plans, the "investment in the contract" can be zero. Special tax rules may be
available for certain distributions from Qualified Contracts.
 
     In the case of a partial withdrawal from a Non-Qualified Contract, under
Section 72(e), any amounts received are generally first treated as taxable
income to the extent that the Contract Value immediately before the partial
withdrawal exceeds the "investment in the contract" at that time. Any additional
amount withdrawn is not taxable.
 
     In the case of a full withdrawal under a Qualified or Non-Qualified
Contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the extent it
exceeds the "investment in the contract."
 
     Section 1035 of the Code generally provides that no gain or loss shall be
recognized on the exchange of one annuity contract for another. If the
surrendered contract was issued prior to August 14, 1982, the tax rules formerly
provided that the surrender was taxable only to the extent the amount received
exceeds the Owner's investment in the contract will continue to apply to amounts
allocable to investments in that contract prior to August 14, 1982. In contrast,
contracts issued after January 19, 1985 in a Code Section 1035 exchange are
treated as new contracts for purposes of the penalty and distribution-at-death
rules. Special rules and procedures apply to Section 1035 transactions.
Prospective Owners wishing to take advantage of Section 1035 should consult
their tax adviser.
 
     Annuity Payments.  Although tax consequences may vary depending on the
payment option elected under an annuity contract, under Code Section 72(b),
generally (prior to recovery of the investment in the contract) gross income
does not include that part of any amount received as an annuity under an annuity
contract that bears the same ratio to such amount as the investment in the
contract bears to the expected return at the annuity starting date. For variable
annuity payments, the taxable portion is generally determined by an equation
that establishes a specific dollar amount of each payment that is not taxed. The
dollar amount is determined by dividing the "investment in the contract" by the
total number of expected periodic payments. However, the entire distribution
will be taxable once the recipient has recovered the dollar amount of his or her
"investment in the contract." For fixed annuity payments, in general, there is
no tax on the portion of each payment which represents the same ratio that the
"investment in the contract" bears to the total expected value of the annuity
payments for the term of the payments; however, the remainder of each annuity
payment is taxable until the recovery of the investment in the contract, and
thereafter the full amount or each annuity payment is taxable. If death occurs
before full recovery of the investment in the contract, the unrecovered amount
may be deducted on the Annuitant's final tax return.
 
   
     Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds.  Amounts may be distributed from a
Contract because of the death of an Owner or Annuitant. Generally, such amounts
are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in
a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a full surrender of the
Contract or (ii) if distributed under a payment option, they are taxed in the
same way as annuity payments.
    
 
     Other rules relating to distributions at death apply to Qualified
Contracts. Owners should consult their legal counsel and tax adviser regarding
these rules and their impact on Qualified Contracts.
 
     Penalty Tax on Certain Withdrawals.  In the case of a distribution pursuant
to a Non-Qualified Contract, there may be imposed a federal penalty tax equal to
10% of the amount treated as taxable income. In general, however, there is no
penalty on distributions:
 
        1. made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2;
 
        2. made on or after the death of the holder (or if the holder is not an
           individual, the death of the primary Annuitant);
 
        3. attributable to the taxpayer's becoming disabled;
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   56
 
        4. a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less
           frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the
           taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
           taxpayer and his or her designated beneficiary;
 
        5. made under certain annuities issued in connection with structured
           settlement agreements; and
 
        6. made under an annuity contract that is purchased with a single
           Premium Payment when the Annuity Commencement Date is no later than a
           year from purchase of the annuity and substantially equal periodic
           payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the
           annuity payment period.
 
     Other tax penalties may apply to certain distributions under a Qualified
Contract.
 
   
     Although the likelihood of legislative change is uncertain, there is always
the possibility that the tax treatment of the Contracts could change by
legislation or other means. For instance, the President's 1999 Budget Proposal
recommended legislation that, if enacted, would adversely modify the federal
taxation of the Contracts. It is also possible that any change could be
retroactive (that is, effective prior to the date of the change). A tax adviser
should be consulted with respect to legislative developments and their effect on
the Contract.
    
 
TRANSFERS, ASSIGNMENTS OR EXCHANGES OF A CONTRACT
 
   
     A transfer of Ownership of a Contract, the designation of an Annuitant,
Payee or other Beneficiary who is not also the Owner, the selection of certain
Annuity Commencement Dates or the exchange of a Contract may result in certain
tax consequences to the Owner that are not discussed herein. An Owner
contemplating any such transfer, designation, selection, assignment, or exchange
of a Contract should contact a competent tax advisor with respect to the
potential tax effects of such a transaction.
    
 
WITHHOLDING
 
   
     Distributions from Contracts generally are subject to withholding for the
Owner's federal income tax liability. The withholding rate varies according to
the type of distribution and the Owner's tax status. The Owner will be provided
the opportunity to elect not to have tax withheld from distributions. "Eligible
rollover distributions" from section 401(a) plans and section 403(b)
tax-sheltered annuities are subject to a mandatory federal income tax
withholding of 20%. An eligible rollover distribution is the taxable portion of
any distribution from such a plan, except certain distributions such as
distributions required by the Code or distributions in a specified annuity form.
The 20% withholding does not apply, however, if the Owner chooses a "direct
rollover" from the plan to another tax-qualified plan or IRA. Certain states
also require withholding of state income tax whenever federal income tax is
withheld.
    
 
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
 
   
     All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts entered into after October 21,
1988 that are issued by the Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during
any calendar year are treated as one annuity Contract for purposes of
determining the amount includible in gross income under Section 72(e). In
addition, the Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regulations
that prevent the avoidance of Section 72(e) through the serial purchase of
annuity contracts or otherwise. There may also be other situations in which the
Treasury may conclude that it would be appropriate to aggregate two or more
annuity contracts purchased by the same Owner. Accordingly, a Contract Owner
should consult a competent tax advisor before purchasing more than one annuity
contract.
    
 
TAXATION OF QUALIFIED PLANS
 
     The Contracts are designed for use with several types of qualified plans.
The tax rules applicable to participants in these qualified plans vary according
to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. Special
favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of contributions and
distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result from contributions in excess
of specified limits; distributions prior to
                                       46
<PAGE>   57
 
   
age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions); distributions that do not conform to
specified commencement and minimum distribution rules; and in other specified
circumstances. Therefore, no attempt is made to provide more than general
information about the use of the Contracts with the various types of qualified
retirement plans. Contract Owners, the Annuitants, and Beneficiaries are
cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under these qualified
retirement plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans
themselves, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract, but the
Company shall not be bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the
extent such terms contradict the Contract, unless the Company consents. Brief
descriptions follow of the various types of qualified retirement plans in
connection with a Contract. The Company will amend the Contract as necessary to
conform it to the requirements of such plan.
    
 
     Corporate Pension and Profit Sharing Plans and H.R. 10 Plans.  Section
401(a) of the Code permits corporate employers to establish various types of
retirement plans for employees, and permits self-employed individuals to
establish these plans for themselves and their employees. These retirement plans
may permit the purchase of the Contracts to accumulate retirement savings under
the plans. Adverse tax or other legal consequences to the plan, to the
participant or to both may result if this Contract is assigned or transferred to
any individual as a means to provide benefit payments, unless the plan complies
with all legal requirements applicable to such benefits prior to transfer of the
Contract. Employers intending to use the Contract with such plans should seek
competent advice.
 
   
     Individual Retirement Annuities.  Section 408 of the Code permits eligible
individuals and their employers to contribute to an individual retirement
program known as an "Individual Retirement Annuity" or "IRA". IRA contributions
are limited each year to the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of the Owner's adjusted
gross income. IRA contributions may be deductible in whole or in part depending
on the individual's income and whether the individual is a participant in a
qualified plan. Distributions from certain other types of qualified plans,
however, may be "rolled-over" on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA without regard
to this limit. Earnings in an IRA are not taxed while held in the IRA are not
taxed while held in the IRA. All amounts in the IRA (other than nondeductible
contributions) are taxed when distributed. Distributions prior to age 59 1/2
(unless certain exceptions apply) are also subject to a 10% penalty tax. Sales
of the Contract for use with IRAs may be subject to special disclosure
requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.
    
 
   
     Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs.  Employers may establish Simplified
Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs under Code section 408(k) to provide IRA
contributions on behalf of their employees. In addition to all of the general
Code rules governing IRAs, such plans are subject to certain Code requirements
regarding participation and amounts of contributions.
    
 
   
     Simple Retirement Accounts.  Beginning January 1, 1997, certain small
employers may establish Simple Retirement Accounts as provided by Section 408(p)
of the Code, under which employees may elect to defer up to $6,000 (as increased
for cost of living adjustments) as a percentage of compensation. The sponsoring
employer is required to make a matching or non-elective contribution on behalf
of employees. Distributions from a Simple Retirement Account are subject to the
same restrictions that apply to IRA distributions and are taxed as ordinary
income. Subject to certain exceptions, premature distributions prior to age
59 1/2 are subject to a 10% penalty tax, which is increased to 25% if the
distribution occurs within the first two years after the commencement of the
employee's participation in the plan.
    
 
   
     Roth IRAs.  Effective January 1, 1998, section 408A of the Code permits
certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Contributions to a
Roth IRA, which are subject to certain limitations, are not deductible and must
be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA.
A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax and
other special rules may apply. You should consult a tax adviser before combining
any converted amounts with any other Roth IRA contributions, including any other
conversion amounts from other tax years. Distributions from a Roth IRA generally
are not taxed, except that, once aggregate distributions exceed contributions to
the Roth IRA, income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made
(1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during the five
taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to
the Roth IRA.
    
 
                                       47
<PAGE>   58
 
   
     Tax Sheltered Annuities.  Section 403(b) of the Code allows employees of
certain Section 501(c)(3) organizations and public schools to exclude from their
gross income the Premium Payments paid, within certain limits, on a Contract
that will provide an annuity for the employee's retirement. These Premium
Payments may be subject to FICA (Social Security) tax.
    
 
POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR THE COMPANY'S TAXES
 
     At the present time, the Company makes no charge to the Variable Accounts
for any Federal, state, or local taxes that the Company incurs which may be
attributable to such Variable Accounts or the Contracts. The Company, however,
reserves the right in the future to make a charge for any such tax or other
economic burden resulting from the application of the tax laws that it
determines to be properly attributable to the Variable Accounts or to the
Contracts.
 
OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
     As noted above, the foregoing comments about the Federal tax consequences
under these Contracts are not exhaustive, and special rules are provided with
respect to other tax situations not discussed in the Prospectus. Further, the
Federal income tax consequences discussed herein reflect the Company's
understanding of current law and the law may change. Federal estate and state
and local estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of Ownership or receipt
of distributions under a Contract depend on the individual circumstances of each
Owner or recipient of the distribution. A competent tax advisor should be
consulted for further information.
 
                         DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS
 
     The Contracts will be offered to the public on a continuous basis. The
Company does not anticipate discontinuing the offering of the Contracts, but
reserves the right to discontinue the offering. Applications for Contracts are
solicited by agents who are licensed by applicable state insurance authorities
to sell the Company's variable annuity contracts and who are also registered
representatives of IL Securities, Inc. or broker-dealers having selling
agreements with IL Securities, Inc. or broker-dealers having selling agreements
with such broker-dealers. IL Securities, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Indianapolis Life Group of Companies, Inc., which, in turn, is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Indianapolis Life Insurance Company and is registered
with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is
a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
 
     IL Securities, Inc. acts as the principal underwriter, as defined in the
1940 Act, of the Contracts for the Separate Account pursuant to an Underwriting
Agreement between the Company and IL Securities, Inc. IL Securities, Inc. is not
obligated to sell any specific number of Contracts. The principal business
address for IL Securities, Inc. is P.O. Box 1230, 2960 North Meridian Street,
Indianapolis, Indiana 46208.
 
   
     The Company may pay sales commissions to broker-dealers up to an amount
equal to 7.2% of the Premium Payments paid under a Contract. In addition,
asset-based trailer commissions of up to 1.25% may be paid. The Company may also
pay up to 1.25% on Premium Payments to IL Securities to compensate it for
certain distribution expenses. These broker-dealers are expected to compensate
sales representatives in varying amounts from these commissions. The Company
also may pay other distribution expenses such as production incentive bonuses,
agent's insurance and pension benefits, and agency expense allowances. These
distribution expenses do not result in any additional charges against the
Contracts that are not described under "Charges and Deductions."
    
 
                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
   
     The Company and its affiliates, like other life insurance companies, are
involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. In some class action and
other lawsuits involving other insurers, substantial damages have been sought
and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any
litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that at the
present time there are not
    
                                       48
<PAGE>   59
 
   
pending or threatened lawsuits that are reasonably likely to have a material
adverse impact on the Variable Account or the Company.
    
 
                                 VOTING RIGHTS
 
     In accordance with its view of current applicable law, the Company will
vote Fund shares held in the Separate Account at regular and special shareholder
meetings of the Funds in accordance with instructions received from persons
having voting interests in the corresponding Variable Accounts. If, however, the
1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended, or if the present
interpretation thereof should change, or the Company otherwise determines that
it is allowed to vote the shares in its own right, it may elect to do so.
 
     The number of votes that an Owner or Annuitant has the right to instruct
will be calculated separately for each Variable Account of the Separate Account,
and may include fractional votes. Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, an
Owner holds a voting interest in each Variable Account to which the Contract
Value is allocated. After the Annuity Commencement Date, the Annuitant has a
voting interest in each Variable Account from which variable annuity payments
are made.
 
     For each Owner, the number of votes attributable to a Variable Account will
be determined by dividing the Contract Value attributable to that Owner's
Contract in that Variable Account by the net asset value per share of the Fund
in which that Variable Account invests. For each Annuitant, the number of votes
attributable to a Variable Account will be determined by dividing the liability
for future variable annuity payments to be paid from that Variable Account by
the net asset value per share of the Fund in which that Variable Account
invests. This liability for future payments is calculated on the basis of the
mortality assumptions, the 3.0% assumed investment rate used in determining the
number of annuity units of that Variable Account credited to the Annuitant's
Contract and annuity unit value of that Variable Account on the date that the
number of votes is determined. As variable annuity payments are made to the
Annuitant, the liability for future payments decreases as does the number of
votes.
 
     The number of votes available to an Owner or Annuitant will be determined
as of the date coincident with the date established by the Fund for determining
shareholders eligible to vote at the relevant meeting of the Fund's
shareholders. Voting instructions will be solicited by written communication
prior to such meeting in accordance with procedures established for the Fund.
Each Owner or Annuitant having a voting interest in a Variable Account will
receive proxy materials and reports relating to any meeting of shareholders of
the Fund in which that Variable Account invests.
 
     Fund shares as to which no timely instructions are received and shares held
by the Company in a Variable Account as to which no Owner or Annuitant has a
beneficial interest will be voted in proportion to the voting instructions which
are received with respect to all Contracts participating in that Variable
Account. Voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon will be
applied to reduce the total number of votes eligible to be cast on a matter.
 
                                COMPANY HOLIDAYS
 
     The Company is closed on the following holidays: the Friday following
Thanksgiving, the day preceding Christmas when Christmas falls on Tuesday
through Saturday, the day following Christmas when Christmas falls on Sunday or
Monday, and the day following New Year's Day when it falls on a Sunday, the
Monday following New Year's Day when New Year's Day falls on a Saturday, and the
day preceding or following Independence Day when it falls on Saturday or Sunday.
 
   
                               YEAR 2000 MATTERS
    
 
   
     Like all financial services providers, the Company utilizes systems that
may be affected by Year 2000 transition issues. The Company also relies on
service providers, including the Portfolios and the administrator, that may be
affected by Year 2000 issues. The Company has developed, and is in the process
of implementing, a Year 2000 transition plan. In addition, the Company is in the
process of confirming that the Portfolios and its
    
                                       49
<PAGE>   60
 
   
service providers are also engaged in similar transition plans. The resources
that are being devoted to this effort are substantial. It is difficult to
predict with precision whether the amount of resources ultimately devoted, or
the outcome of these efforts, will have any negative impact on the Company's
operations. However, as of the date of this Prospectus, it is not anticipated
that owners will experience negative effects on their investment, or on the
services provided in connection therewith, as a result of Year 2000 transition
implementation. The Company currently anticipates that its systems will be Year
2000 compliant in a timely manner, but there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful, or that interaction with other service providers
will not impair services at that time.
    
 
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     IL Annuity and Insurance Company, formerly known as Sentry Investors Life
Insurance Company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Indianapolis Life
Group of Companies, Inc. on November 1, 1994. Immediately prior thereto, the
Company entered into an assumption reinsurance agreement with Sentry Life
Insurance Company ("Sentry") whereby Sentry assumed all of the insurance
in-force and related assets and liabilities from the Company. The effect of the
reinsurance agreement was to transfer all of the insurance related assets and
liabilities to Sentry, leaving only bonds, cash and state insurance department
licenses to be acquired by the Indianapolis Life Group of Companies, Inc. No
business was issued by the Company through December 31, 1994.
 
   
     The audited statement of net assets of IL Annuity and Insurance Co.
Separate Account 1 as of December 31, 1997 and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended and statements of changes in net assets for
the two years then ended, as well as the Report of the Independent Auditors, are
included in the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"). The audited balance
sheets for the Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
statements of income, shareholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1997, as well as the Report of the
Independent Auditors, are contained in the SAI. The financial statements of the
Company should be considered only as bearing on the ability of the Company to
meets its obligations under the Contracts. They should not be considered as
bearing on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate
Account.

                 IL ANNUITY AND INSURANCE CO. SEPARATE ACCOUNT I

                        VISIONARY CHOICE VARIABLE ANNUITY

         This supplement is intended to be used with the prospectus dated August
8, 1997. This supplement, together with the prospectus and any supplements
previously furnished to you, constitute a current prospectus for the Visionary
Choice Variable Annuity.

                          *        *        *        *

         Recently, IL Annuity learned that the Board of Trustees of the Van Eck
Worldwide Insurance Trust has voted to propose the closing of the Van Eck
Worldwide Balanced Portfolio (the "Balanced Portfolio"). The Van Eck Board
concluded that the Balanced Portfolio's small size, together with decision of
its investment adviser to discontinue the voluntary absorption of all expenses
of the Balanced Portfolio, will have an adverse effect on performance. This
could have the effect of further reducing assets and increasing the Balanced
Portfolio's expense ratio.

         AS A RESULT, EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 1998, IL ANNUITY IS CLOSING THE VAN ECK
WORLDWIDE BALANCED VARIABLE ACCOUNT TO TRANSFERS AND NEW PREMIUM PAYMENTS. After
that date, Contract owners will not be permitted to allocate new Premium
Payments, or transfer Contract Value, to the Van Eck Worldwide Balanced Variable
Account.

         In addition, the Van Eck Worldwide Balanced Portfolio will be deleted,
wherever listed, from any instructions you have given us regarding your premium
allocation, dollar cost averaging, automatic account balancing, or systematic
withdrawals and we will reassign the percentages previously assigned to the
Balanced Portfolio on a pro-rata basis among the remaining Portfolios listed in
your instructions. If you want us to treat your account differently, please call
the Service Center.

         In addition, as of the date of this supplement, the Van Eck Worldwide
Hard Assets Variable Account will be an Eligible Variable Account for purposes
of calculating the Living Benefit. New allocations to the Van Eck Worldwide Hard
Assets Variable Account will be treated as Eligible Premium Payments for
purposes of calculating the Living Benefit on the Living Benefit Date, once the
new allocations have been held in that Variable Account for 10 years.

     This prospectus describes the VISIONARY CHOICE variable annuity, an
individual deferred variable annuity contract (the "Contract") being offered by
IL Annuity and Insurance Company (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). Under
the terms of the Contract, we promise to pay the Annuitant a series of income
payments in the form of annuity payments starting on the Annuity Start Date you
choose. (You will be the Annuitant unless you state otherwise.) Until the
Annuity Start Date, the Contract is in the Pay-in Period and allows you to
accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis for retirement and other long-term
purposes. VISIONARY CHOICE may be available to you when you participate in a
retirement plan that qualifies for deferral of federal income taxes.
Non-Qualified Contracts are also available.
 
   
     You may direct your Premium Payments, as well as any value accumulated
under your Contract, to one or more of 18 Variable Accounts of the IL Annuity
and Insurance Co. Separate Account 1 (the "Separate Account") and/or to the
Fixed Account. The money you place in the Fixed Account will earn interest at a
rate guaranteed by the Company to equal or exceed 3% annually. The money you
place in a Variable Account will be invested solely in an investment portfolio
("Portfolio") of a mutual fund ("Fund"). The value of the assets you place in
the Variable Accounts will vary according to the investment performance of the
Portfolios. Currently you may choose among 18 Portfolios of 10 Funds:
    
 
           The Alger American Fund:
           MidCap Growth Portfolio and Small Capitalization Portfolio

You bear the entire investment risk on the assets you place in the Variable
Accounts. This means that, depending on market conditions, you may increase or
lose the principal you have invested in any of these Portfolios.
 
     With the VISIONARY CHOICE, you choose one of two withdrawal charge options
at the time you complete your application. You also choose, at no additional
charge, either an enhanced death benefit option or a living benefit option. And,
if your initial Premium Payment is $100,000 or more, you may choose one of two
free withdrawal options on your application. ONCE YOU CHOOSE YOUR OPTIONS, YOU
MAY NOT CHANGE THEM.
 
   
     THIS PROSPECTUS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A CURRENT PROSPECTUS FOR EACH OF THE
FUNDS.

Separate Account that you should know before investing. Additional information

ACCUMULATION UNIT -- An accounting measure we use to calculate the value of a
Variable Account during the Pay-in Period.
 
ANNUITANT -- You are the Annuitant, unless you state otherwise in your

referring to the death of an Annuitant mean the death of the last surviving
Annuitant. The Annuitant named in the application may not be changed.
 
   
ANNUITY START DATE -- The date when the Annuitant will begin to receive annuity
payments. (You are the Annuitant, unless you tell us otherwise at the time of
your application.) If you do not select a date, the Annuity Start Date is either
the Annuitant's age 70 or 10 years after the Date of Issue, whichever is later.
Different Annuity Start Dates apply if you own a Qualified Contract or a
Non-Qualified Contract.

determined, plus any Premium Payments and minus any withdrawals and charges
incurred between such Death Benefit Anniversary and the date the death benefit
is determined.

     The purpose of the fee table is to assist you in understanding the costs
and expenses that you will pay directly or indirectly when you invest in the
Contract. The table reflects the actual charges and expenses for the Separate
Account and the Portfolios for the year ended December 31, 1997. For a more
complete description of these charges and expenses, see "Fees and Charges" in
this prospectus and the prospectus for each Portfolio that is attached to this
prospectus.
    
 
 (1) In any Contract Year after the first Contract Year, you may withdraw a
     portion of your Contract Value without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. This
     amount is called the Free Withdrawal Amount. If your initial Premium
     Payment is less than $100,000, the Free Withdrawal Amount is 10% of
     Contract Value each year, as determined at the beginning of the Contract
     Year. If you do not withdraw the full 10% in any Contract Year, the
     remaining amount does not roll over to the next Contract Year. If your
     initial Premium Payment is $100,000 or more, the Free Withdrawal Amount
     will depend on the Free Withdrawal Option you choose at the time you
     purchase your Contract. If you choose the CUMULATIVE 10% OPTION, you may
     withdraw up to 10% of your Contract Value as of the beginning of each
     Contract Year after the first Contract Year and we will not charge you a
     Withdrawal Charge on that amount. If you do not withdraw the full 10% in
     any one Contract Year, the remaining percentage may be rolled over to the
     next Contract Year, up to a maximum of 50% after 5 years, as determined as
     of the beginning of each Contract Year. If you choose the EARNINGS OPTION,
     you may withdraw all your Contract earnings at any time after the first
     Contract Year without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. (See "Fees and
     Charges -- Withdrawal Charge.")
 
     The Contract also gives you a choice between two Withdrawal Charge options.
     If you choose the DATE OF ISSUE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE OPTION, we will calculate
     the Withdrawal Charge from the Date of Issue. Under this option, we will
     deduct the Withdrawal Charge from all withdrawals of Premium Payments that
     occur during the first nine Contract Years and that are greater than the
     Free Withdrawal Amount. No Withdrawal Charge is deducted from full or
     partial withdrawals that occur in Contract Years ten and later. For the
     first six Contract Years, the Withdrawal Charge is 7% of the amount
     withdrawn, decreasing to 6% in the seventh Contract Year, and declining by
     2% for each subsequent Contract Year until it is zero in Contract Year ten.
 
     If you choose the DATE OF PREMIUM PAYMENT WITHDRAWAL CHARGE OPTION, we will
     calculate the Withdrawal Charge from the date you make a Premium Payment.
     Under this option, we will deduct a Withdrawal Charge from all withdrawals
     of Premium Payments that we have held for less than seven years and that
     are greater than the Free Withdrawal Amount. Premium Payments withdrawn
     during the first year after receipt by us are subject to a 7% Withdrawal
     Charge, decreasing by 1% annually until it is zero in Premium Payment Year
     eight. (See "Fees and Charges -- Withdrawal Charge.")
 
 (2) We will not charge you a transfer fee on the first twelve transfers in a
     Contract Year. We will charge a $25 fee for each transfer you make after
     the twelfth during a Contract Year.
 
 (3) We will not charge a Qualified Contract for the Contract Fee. We also
     currently will not charge a Non-Qualified Contract for the Contract Fee
     once the total Premium Payments you have paid equals $100,000.
 
   
 (4) Total Annual Expenses for the Fidelity Index 500 Portfolio were reduced
     from 0.28% to 0.24%, effective December 1, 1997.
    
 
   
 (5) Other Expenses of the OCC Accumulation Trust Portfolios are shown gross of
     certain expense offsets afforded the Portfolios which effectively lowered
     overall custody expenses. The Total Annual Portfolio Expenses of the
     Managed and Small Cap Portfolios are limited by OpCap Advisors so that
     their respective annualized operating expenses (net of any expense offsets)
     do not exceed 1.00% of the average daily net assets. Without such
     limitations, and without giving effect to any expense offsets, the
     Management Fees, Other Expenses and Total Annual Portfolio Expenses
     incurred for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 would have been: .80%,
     .17% and .97%, respectively, for the Small Cap Portfolio; and .80%, .07%
     and .87% respectively, for the Managed Portfolio.
    
 
   
 (6) Royce & Associates, Inc., the investment adviser to the Portfolio, has
     voluntarily committed to waive its management fees and reimburse Other
     Expenses through December 31, 1998 to the extent necessary to
    
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   74
 
   
     maintain Total Annual Expenses of the Portfolio at or below 1.35%. Without
     such waiver and reimbursement, the Management Fee was 1.25% and Total
     Annual Expenses were 7.32% for fiscal year 1997.
    
 
   
 (7) Other Expenses for the SoGen Overseas Portfolio include a 0.25% charge for
     12b-1 fees. The 12b-1 fee is imposed to enable the Portfolio to recover
     certain sales expenses, including compensation to broker-dealers, the cost
     of printing prospectuses, advertising costs and shareholder
     servicing-related expenses for the Portfolio. Over a long period of time,
     the total amount of 12b-1 fees paid may exceed the amount of sales charges
     imposed by other portfolios. Under the terms of an investment advisory
     agreement dated August 16, 1996, the SoGen Overseas Portfolio pays its
     investment adviser a monthly advisory fee at an annual rate of 0.70% of the
     average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the period since inception
     through December 31, 1997, the advisor waived its investment advisory fee
     in its entirety and reimbursed the Portfolio for all expenses in excess of
     2.00% of average daily net assets. Without such waiver and reimbursements,
     the Management Fee was 0.75%, Other Expenses were 14.40%, and Total Annual
     Expenses were 15.15%.
    
 
   
 (8) The Limited-Term Bond Portfolio pays T. Rowe Price an all-inclusive fee of
     0.70%, computed daily and paid monthly, based on its average daily net
     assets. The International Stock Portfolio pays Rowe Price-Fleming
     International, Inc. ("Price-Fleming") an all-inclusive fee of 1.05%,
     computed daily and paid monthly, based on its average daily net assets.
     These fees pay for investment management services and other operating costs
     of the Portfolios.

     The examples provided above assume that no transfer charges or premium
taxes have been assessed. The examples reflect the annualized Contract Fee of
$30 assessed on an average Contract Value of $30,000. This translates the
Contract Fee into a 0.10% charge for the purposes of the examples based on a
$1,000 investment.

                    SUMMARY OF THE VISIONARY CHOICE CONTRACT
 
     Purchasing Your Contract.  The VISIONARY CHOICE Contract is an individual
deferred variable annuity issued by IL Annuity and Insurance Company. You may
purchase this Contract with $1,000 or more under most circumstances. We will not
issue a Contract if you are older than 85 on the Date of Issue.
 
     The Contract provides a means for investing on a tax-deferred basis. This
means that you will not be taxed on earnings or appreciation in your Contract
until you withdraw your money. The Contract may be sold in connection with
retirement plans, some of which may qualify for special federal tax treatment
under the Code. (See "The Pay-In Period -- Issuing Your Contract.")
 
     Cancellation -- The 10 Day Free-Look Period.  You have the right to cancel
the Contract for any reason within 10 days after you receive it (or within 20
days if the Contract is replacing another annuity contract or insurance policy).
The Contract must be returned to our Service Center. Your Written Request to
cancel the Contract must accompany the Contract. The returned Contract will be
treated as if it were never issued. In certain states you may have more than 10
days to return the Contract for a refund. The amount that we refund will vary
according to state requirements. If we are required by state law to refund your
original Premium Payment, we will allocate your initial Premium Payment to the
Money Market Variable Account during the Free-Look Period. (See "The Pay-In
Period -- Cancellation -- The 10-Day Free-Look Period.")
 
     Premium Payments.  A Premium Payment is the money you pay us to buy the
Visionary Choice Contract. The Contract generally gives you the flexibility to
make Premium Payments as often as you like, although you may choose to make only
a single Premium Payment. After you buy the Contract, you may send us Premium
Payments of $1,000 or more at any time during the Pay-in Period, so long as they
do not exceed two times the amount of your initial Premium Payment in any year.
We generally will not accept total Premium Payments in excess of $250,000. We
reserve the right to waive these limitations. (See "Premium Payments.")
 
     Designating Your Investment Options.  When you purchase your Contract, we
will ask you to provide us with written instructions telling us how to allocate
your Premium Payments among the Portfolios of the Variable Accounts and the
Fixed Account. You may place your Premium Payments in one or more Variable
Accounts and/or the Fixed Account, subject to certain restrictions. (See "The
Pay-In Period.")
 
   
     Transfers.  During the Pay-in Period, you may transfer your Contract Value
from the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account to other Variable Account(s)
and the Fixed Account, subject to certain restrictions. (See "Transfers Between
Investment Options.") If you transfer Contract Value from an Eligible Variable
Account, the transfer will reduce the value of the Eligible Premium Payment on
which the Living Benefit is based. (See "Living Benefit.")
    
 
     Transfers to the Fixed Account must be at least $1,000. During the Pay-in
Period, you may transfer up to 20% of the Fixed Account Value (as determined at
the beginning of the Contract Year) from the Fixed Account to one or more of the
Variable Accounts in any Contract Year. No fee is charged for transfers from the
Fixed Account to one or more Variable Accounts and such transfers are not
considered a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer charge. (See
"Transfers Between Investment Options.")
 
     Once you begin to receive annuity payments, you may make one transfer
between the Variable Accounts each Contract Year. (See "The Payout Period.")
 
   
     Partial Withdrawals.  During the Pay-in Period, you may withdraw part of
your Contract Value by sending a Written Request to the Service Center. The
amount of your request must be at least $250. If the Contract Value remaining
after your partial withdrawal is less than $1,000, we reserve the right to pay
you the Surrender Value in a lump sum. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to a
Withdrawal Charge, depending upon the Withdrawal Charge Option you chose at the
time of purchase. In any Contract Year after the first Contract Year, you may
withdraw a portion of your Contract Value without incurring a Withdrawal Charge,
called the Free Withdrawal Amount. (See "Fees and Charges -- Withdrawal
Charge.")
    
 
   
     Withdrawals from an Eligible Variable Account will reduce the value of the
Eligible Premium Payment on which the Living Benefit is based. (See "Living
Benefit.")
    
                                       12
<PAGE>   80
 
     The Federal tax laws may impose income taxes and tax penalties upon, and in
some cases prohibit, certain premature withdrawals from the Contract before or
after the Annuity Start Date. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
 
     Full Withdrawal.  During the Pay-in Period, you may cancel the Contract and
receive its Surrender Value by sending us a Written Request. (See "Withdrawal of
Contract Value.") As with partial withdrawals, Federal tax laws may impose
income taxes and tax penalties upon, and in some cases prohibit, certain
premature withdrawals from the Contract before or after the Annuity Start Date.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.")
 
     Death Benefit.  If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Start Date, the
Beneficiary will receive a Death Benefit. The Death Benefit will be determined
as of the date we receive due proof of the deceased's death and payment
instructions. If you do not choose the Enhanced Death Benefit option at the time
of purchase, the Death Benefit will equal the greater of:
 
        (1) the sum of all Premium Payments made under the Contract, LESS
            partial withdrawals as of the date the Death Benefit is determined;
            or
 
        (2) the Contract Value as of the date the Death Benefit is determined;
 
LESS any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted.
 
     If you elect the three year stepped-up Enhanced Death Benefit option at the
time of purchase, an Enhanced Death Benefit will be payable upon the death of
the Annuitant before the Annuity Start Date and will be determined as of the
date we receive due proof of the deceased's death and payment instructions. The
Enhanced Death Benefit will be the greater of:
 
        (1) the Contract Value as of the date the Enhanced Death Benefit is
            determined; or
 
        (2) the highest Contract Value on any Death Benefit Anniversary
            preceding the date the Enhanced Death Benefit is determined,
            adjusted for any Premium Payments received, withdrawals taken and
            charges incurred between such Death Benefit Anniversary and the date
            the Enhanced Death Benefit is determined. This value is initially
            set on the first Death Benefit Anniversary and equals the greater
            of: (a) the sum of Premium Payments, MINUS partial withdrawals; or
            (b) Contract Value, on that date. This value will be reset on every
            future Death Benefit Anniversary (that is, every third Contract
            Anniversary) to equal Contract Value on that date only if Contract
            Value on that Death Benefit Anniversary is greater than the Enhanced
            Death Benefit Value on any previous Death Benefit Anniversary. Once
            reset, this value will never decrease unless partial withdrawals are
            made;
 
LESS any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted.
 
     Age Limitation on Death Benefit Provision:  If the Annuitant dies at or
after age 75 (or ten years after the Date of Issue, whichever is later) but
before the Annuity Start Date, the Death Benefit under either Death Benefit
option will equal Contract Value LESS any applicable premium taxes not yet
deducted, as of the date we receive due proof of death and payment instructions.
(See "Death Benefits.")
 
   
     Living Benefit.  If you elect the Living Benefit option at the time of
purchase and if the Contract is in the Pay-in Period on the Living Benefit Date,
IL Annuity will calculate the Living Benefit for each Eligible Variable Account
in which you have value as of that date. The Living Benefit will be credited to
an Eligible Variable Account if the value of the Eligible Variable Account 10
years after the Date of Issue (i.e., on the Living Benefit Date) is less than
the current value of the Eligible Premium Payment for that Eligible Variable
Account on the Living Benefit Date.
    
 
   
     An Eligible Premium Payment is that portion of your first Premium Payment
that you placed in a particular Eligible Variable Account on the Date of Issue.
Its value will be reduced by a percentage of all withdrawals and transfers you
make out of that Eligible Variable Account.
    
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   81
 
   
     On the Living Benefit Date, the Living Benefit credited to a particular
Eligible Variable Account will be equal to: (a) the value of the Eligible
Premium Payment placed in a particular Eligible Variable Account on the Date of
Issue; MINUS (b) a percentage of all withdrawals and transfers from that
Eligible Variable Account; MINUS (c) the value of that Eligible Variable Account
on the Living Benefit Date.
    
 
   
     The Living Benefit Date is 10 years after the Date of Issue. If the
Contract is owned by two persons who are spouses at the time one dies before the
Living Benefit Date, the original Living Benefit Date remains in effect. If the
Contract is owned by two persons who are not spouses and one of them dies before
the Living Benefit Date, the original Living Benefit Date remains in effect,
provided no distributions have occurred as a result of the Owner's death. (See
"Death Benefits.") The Eligible Variable Accounts currently include all Variable
Accounts.
    
 
   
     The Living Benefit will not be credited if you elect to receive annuity
payments before the Living Benefit Date. (See "Living Benefit.")
    
 
   
     Transfers and withdrawals from an Eligible Variable Account will reduce the
value of the Eligible Premium Payment on which the Living Benefit is based. (See
"Living Benefit.")
    
 
FEES AND CHARGES
 
     The following charges and deductions are assessed under the Contract:
 
   
     Withdrawal Charge.  We will deduct a Withdrawal Charge if you withdraw all
or part of your Contract Value during certain time periods. The amount of the
Withdrawal Charge depends on the Withdrawal Charge Option and Free Withdrawal
Option you choose at the time you purchase the Contract. We do not assess a
Withdrawal Charge in the event the Contract terminates due to your death or the
death of the Annuitant, or if you decide to begin to receive annuity payments
under an annuity payout plan with a life contingency or an annuity payout plan
with at least 10 years of guaranteed payments.
    
 
     The Contract gives you a choice between two Withdrawal Charge Options. If
you choose the DATE OF ISSUE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE OPTION, we will calculate the
Withdrawal Charge from the Date of Issue. We will deduct the Withdrawal Charge
from all withdrawals of Premium Payments that: (1) are greater than the Free
Withdrawal Amount, and (2) that occur during the first nine Contract Years.
Under this option, no Withdrawal Charge is deducted from full or partial
withdrawals that occur in Contract Years ten and later. For the first six
Contract Years, the Withdrawal Charge is 7% of the amount withdrawn that exceeds
the Free Withdrawal Amount, decreasing to 6% in the seventh Contract Year, and
declining by 2% for each subsequent Contract Year until it is zero in Contract
Year ten.
 
     If you choose the DATE OF PREMIUM PAYMENT WITHDRAWAL CHARGE OPTION, we will
calculate the Withdrawal Charge from the date you make a Premium Payment and
deduct a Withdrawal Charge from all withdrawals of Premium Payments that we have
held for less than seven years and that are greater than the Free Withdrawal
Amount. Premium Payments in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount that are
withdrawn during the first year after payment are subject to a 7% Withdrawal
Charge, decreasing by 1% annually, until it is zero in Premium Payment Year 8.
 
     Under either option, for purposes of calculating the Withdrawal Charge, a
withdrawal is deemed to come first from Premium Payments and then from earnings.
In addition, the money that has been held the longest in the Contract will be
deemed to be the first money withdrawn. This is called the "first in, first out"
method of accounting or "FIFO." (See "Fees and Charges.")
 
     In any Contract Year after the first Contract Year, you may withdraw a
portion of your Contract Value without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. This
amount is called the Free Withdrawal Amount. Withdrawals under the Systematic
Withdrawal Program are permitted a Free Withdrawal Amount, as determined below,
during the first Contract Year. If your initial Premium Payment is less than
$100,000, the Free Withdrawal Amount is 10% of Contract Value each year, as
determined at the beginning of the Contract Year. If you do not withdraw the
full 10% in any Contract Year, the remaining amount does NOT roll over to the
next Contract Year. If your initial Premium Payment is $100,000 or more, the
value of the Free Withdrawal Amount
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   82
 
   
depends on the Free Withdrawal Option you choose at the time you purchase your
Contract. If you choose the CUMULATIVE 10% OPTION, you may withdraw up to 10% of
your Contract Value as of the beginning of each Contract Year after the first
Contract Year and we will not charge you a Withdrawal Charge on that amount. If
you do not withdraw the full 10% in any one Contract Year, the remaining
percentage may be rolled over to the next Contract Year, up to a maximum of 50%
of Contract Value after 5 years as determined as of the beginning of each
Contract Year. If you choose the EARNINGS OPTION, you may withdraw all your
Contract earnings at any time after the first Contract Year without incurring a
Withdrawal Charge. (See "Fees and Charges -- Withdrawal Charge.")
    
 
     The Withdrawal Charge also may be waived in cases of extended
hospitalization, long-term care, terminal illness, or to pay for post secondary
education, as provided in the Contract. (See "Fees and Charges -- Withdrawal
Charge.")
 
     Contract Fee.  At the end of each Contract quarter (and on the date of full
withdrawal from the Contract) during the Pay-in Period, we will deduct a
quarterly Contract Fee of $7.50 from the Contract Value. Currently we waive the
Contract Fee for Qualified Contracts. We also do not charge the Contract Fee if
the Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract whose cumulative Premium Payments on
the date the Contract Fee is charged are equal to or greater than $100,000. We
reserve the right to modify this waiver upon 30 days written notice to you. We
do not charge a Contract Fee after annuity payments have begun. (See "Fees and
Charges -- Contract Fee.")
 
     Transfer Fee.  During the Pay-in Period, you may make 12 transfers each
Contract Year at no charge. We will impose a transfer fee of $25 for the
thirteenth and each subsequent transfer you make during a Contract Year before
the Annuity Start Date. (See "Fees and Charges -- Transfer Fee.")
 
     Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  We will deduct a daily mortality and
expense risk charge as compensation for our assuming certain mortality and
expense risks. The charge is deducted from the assets of the Separate Account at
a rate of 0.003404% per day. This is equal to an annual rate of 1.25%
(approximately 0.90% for mortality risk and 0.35% for expense risks). This
charge will continue to be assessed after the Annuity Start Date if annuity
payments are made on a variable basis. (See "Fees and Charges -- Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge.")
 
   
     Asset-Based Administrative Charge.  We will deduct a daily administrative
charge as compensation for certain expenses we incur in administering the
Contract. The charge is deducted from the assets of each Variable Account at an
annual rate of 0.15%. This charge will continue to be assessed after you begin
to receive annuity payments if you choose to receive annuity payments on a
variable basis. (See "Fees and Charges -- Asset-Based Administrative Charge.")
    
 
     Premium Taxes.  Various states and other governmental entities charge a
premium tax on annuity contracts issued by insurance companies. Premium tax
rates currently range up to 3.5%, depending on the state. Tax rates are subject
to change from time to time by legislative and other governmental action. In
addition, other governmental units within a state may levy such taxes. We are
responsible for the payment of these taxes and, if necessary, we will make a
deduction from the value of your Contract either: (a) from Premium Payments as
we receive them, (b) from Contract Value upon partial or full withdrawal, (c)
when annuity payments begin, or (d) upon payment of a Death Benefit. (See "Fees
and Charges -- Premium Taxes.")
 
   
     Investment Advisory Fees and Other Expenses of the Funds.  Each Portfolio
pays investment management charges to its investment adviser based on a
percentage of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. These advisory fees and
other Portfolio charges and expenses are fully described in the accompanying
prospectuses for the Portfolios. These charges are indirectly passed on to you.
In addition, the SoGen Overseas Portfolio deducts a 12b-1 fee from its Portfolio
assets at a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily value of the
Portfolio's net assets. The 12b-1 fee may be used to reimburse IL Annuity for
certain administrative and distribution support services provided to the
Overseas Portfolio.

ANNUITY PROVISIONS
 
     Payout Options.  Under the Contract, you may choose to receive regular
annuity payments under one of several available payout plans. You may also
choose the month and year on which those payments are to begin. (This is the
Annuity Start Date.) On the Annuity Start Date, the Contract Value (adjusted as
described below) will be used to calculate the amount of your annuity payments
under the payment plan you choose, unless you choose to receive the Surrender
Value in a lump sum. Adjusted Contract Value is Contract Value, LESS applicable
premium tax not yet deducted, LESS the quarterly Contract Fee, and, for an
installment income annuity payout plan with a payout period of less than 10
years, less any applicable Withdrawal Charge. (See "Payout Period.")
 
FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 
     Generally, a distribution (including a full or partial withdrawal or Death
Benefit payment) may result in taxable income. In certain circumstances, a 10%
penalty tax may apply. For a further discussion of the federal tax status of
variable annuity contracts, see "Federal Tax Status."
 
                   ABOUT IL ANNUITY AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
IL ANNUITY AND INSURANCE COMPANY
 
     IL Annuity and Insurance Company, formerly known as Sentry Investors Life
Insurance Company, is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 21, 1965 and incorporated on March
9, 1966. We changed our name to "IL Annuity and Insurance Company" on January
17, 1995.
 
     Effective October 31, 1994, we entered into an assumption reinsurance
agreement with Sentry Life Insurance Company ("Sentry") whereby Sentry assumed
all of our existing insurance in-force and related assets and liabilities.
 
   
     On November 1, 1994, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Indianapolis Life Group of Companies, Inc. ("Indianapolis Life Group"), which is
a majority-owned subsidiary of Indianapolis Life Insurance Company. Indianapolis
Life Insurance Company is a mutual life insurance company chartered under
Indiana law in 1905 with assets as of December 31, 1997 which approximated
$1.702 billion.
    
 
   
     At the end of 1997, American United Life Insurance Company ("AUL") and
Indianapolis Life Insurance Company took preliminary steps toward an
affiliation. At that time, AUL invested $8,910,000 in Indianapolis Life Group
and on March 30, 1998 AUL invested an additional $18,090,000. As a result of
this investment and related transactions, it is intended by both parties that
Indianapolis Life Insurance Company will retain ownership of 75% of the stock of
Indianapolis Life Group and AUL will own the remaining 25% of the Indianapolis
Life Group stock. The Agreement to Affiliate does contain provisions which would
allow AUL to invest additional amounts in Indianapolis Life Group, and
potentially to own up to 49.9% of the outstanding Indianapolis Life Group stock.
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no current intention for additional
investments by AUL.
    
 
     We are subject to regulation by the Insurance Department of the State of
Massachusetts as well as by the insurance departments of all other states and
jurisdictions in which we do business. We submit annual statements on our
operations and finances to insurance officials in such states and jurisdictions.
The forms for the Contract described in this prospectus are filed with and
(where required) approved by insurance officials in each state and jurisdiction
in which Contracts are sold.
 
IL ANNUITY AND INSURANCE CO. SEPARATE ACCOUNT 1
 
     We established the IL Annuity and Insurance Co. Separate Account I (the
"Separate Account") as a separate account under Massachusetts insurance law on
November 1, 1994. The Separate Account will
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   84
 
receive and invest Net Premium Payments made under the Contracts. In addition,
the Separate Account may receive and invest Premium Payments for certain other
variable annuity contracts we may issue in the future.
 
     Although the assets in the Separate Account are our property, the portion
of the assets in the Separate Account equal to the reserves and other contract
liabilities of the Separate Account are not chargeable with the liabilities
arising out of any other business that we may conduct and that has no specific
relation to or dependence upon the Separate Account. The assets of the Separate
Account are available to cover our general liabilities only to the extent that
the Separate Account's assets exceed its liabilities arising under the Contracts
and any other contracts supported by the Separate Account. We have the right to
transfer to the general account any assets of the Separate Account which are in
excess of reserves and other contract liabilities. All obligations arising under
the Contracts are our general corporate obligations. Income, gains and losses,
whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are
credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other
income, gains or losses of any other separate account or of the Company.
 
   
     The Separate Account currently is divided into eighteen Variable Accounts
that are available for investment but may, in the future, include additional
Variable Accounts. Each Variable Account invests exclusively in shares of a
single corresponding fund. The income, gains and losses, whether or not
realized, from the assets allocated to each Variable Account are credited to or
charged against that Variable Account without regard to income, gains or losses
from any other Variable Account.
    
 
     The Separate Account has been registered with the SEC as a unit investment
trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and meets the
definition of a separate account under the federal securities laws. Registration
with the SEC does not involve supervision of the management or investment
practices or policies of the Separate Account or the Company by the SEC. The
Separate Account is also subject to the laws of the State of Massachusetts which
regulate the operations of insurance companies domiciled in Massachusetts.
 
                                 THE PORTFOLIOS
 
     Each Variable Account of the Separate Account invests exclusively in shares
of a designated Portfolio of a series-type mutual fund ("Fund"). Shares of each
Portfolio are purchased and redeemed at net asset value, without a sales charge.
Each Fund currently available under the Contract is registered with the SEC
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as an open-end,
management investment company. Such registration does not involve supervision of
the management or investment practices or policies of the companies or their
funds by the SEC.
 
     The assets of each Portfolio of each Fund are separate from the assets of
that Fund's other Portfolios, and each Portfolio has separate investment
objectives and policies. As a result, each Portfolio operates as a separate
investment Portfolio and the income or losses of one Portfolio has no effect on
the investment performance of any other Portfolio.
 
     Each of the Funds is managed by an investment adviser registered with the
SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Each investment
adviser is responsible for the selection of the investments of the Portfolio.
These investments must be consistent with the investment objective, policies and
restrictions of that Portfolio.
 
   
     In addition, the investment objectives and policies of certain Portfolios
are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other portfolios that
may be managed by the same investment adviser or manager. The investment results
of the Portfolios, however, may be higher or lower than the results of such
other portfolios. There can be no assurance, and no representation is made, that
the investment results of any of the Portfolios will be comparable to the
investment results of any other portfolio, even if the other portfolio has the
same investment adviser or manager.
    
 
     The investment objective of each Portfolio is summarized below. THERE IS NO
ASSURANCE THAT ANY PORTFOLIO WILL ACHIEVE ITS STATED OBJECTIVES. More detailed
information, including a description of risks, fees
 
                                       17

and expenses of each Portfolio, may be found in the prospectuses for the Funds
which accompany this prospectus.
    
 
     CERTAIN PORTFOLIOS HAVE SIMILAR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND/OR POLICIES. YOU

     broad indices of small capitalization stocks. As of March 31, 1997, the
     range of market capitalization of the companies in the Russell Index was

     An investment in a Portfolio, including the Money Market Portfolio, is not
insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and there can be no assurance that
the Money Market Portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per
share.
 
     IL Annuity has entered into agreements with the investment adviser of
several of the Funds pursuant to which each such investment adviser will pay IL
Annuity a servicing fee based upon an annual percentage of the average aggregate
net assets invested by IL Annuity on behalf of the Separate Account. These
agreements reflect administrative services provided to the Funds by IL Annuity.
Payments of such amounts on behalf of the Funds will not increase the fees paid
by the Funds or their shareholders.
 
AVAILABILITY OF THE FUNDS
 
     We cannot guarantee that each Portfolio will always be available for
investment through the Contracts, but in the unlikely event that a Portfolio is
not available, we will do everything reasonably practicable to secure the
availability of a comparable portfolio. The Separate Account purchases shares of
each Portfolio in accordance with a participation agreement we have entered into
with each Fund. If a participation agreement terminates, the Separate Account
may not be able to purchase additional shares of the Portfolios of that Fund. In
such case, you will no longer be able to allocate Premium Payments or transfer
Contract Value to the Variable Account investing in that Portfolio.
 
     We reserve the right, subject to applicable law, to make additions to,
deletions from, or substitutions for the shares of a Portfolio that are held in
the Separate Account. If the shares of a Portfolio are no longer available for
investment or if, in our judgment, further investment in any Portfolio should
become inappropriate, we may redeem the shares of that Portfolio and substitute
shares of another portfolio. We will not substitute any shares without notice
and prior approval of the SEC and state insurance authorities, to the extent
required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
 
     We also reserve the right in our sole discretion to establish additional
Variable Accounts, or eliminate or combine one or more Variable Accounts, if
marketing needs, tax considerations or investment conditions warrant. We will
determine if new or substituted Variable Accounts will be available to existing
Contract Owners. Subject to obtaining any approvals or consents required by law,
the assets of one or more Variable Accounts may also be transferred to any other
Variable Account if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, or investment
conditions warrant. Additional information regarding termination of
participation agreements, substitutions of investments and resolving conflicts
among Funds may be found in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
                               THE PAY-IN PERIOD
 
   
     The Pay-in Period begins when your first Premium Payment is made and
continues until you begin to receive annuity payments during the Payout Period.
The Pay-in Period will also end if you fully withdraw all of your Contract Value
before the Payout Period.
    
 
PURCHASING A CONTRACT
 
     You may purchase a Contract with a Premium Payment of $1,000 or more. The
maximum first Premium Payment is $250,000. To purchase a Contract, you must make
an application to us either through one of our licensed representatives who is
also a registered representative of IL Securities, Inc., or a broker-dealer
having a selling agreement with IL Securities, Inc. Contracts may be sold to or
in connection with retirement plans that do not qualify for special tax
treatment as well as retirement plans that qualify for special tax treatment
under the Code. We will not issue you a Contract if you are older than 85 on the
Date of Issue.
 
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
 
   
     Premium Payments must be at least $1,000. You may make Premium Payments at
any time until the earliest of: (a) the Annuity Start Date; (b) the date you
fully withdraw all Contract Value; or (c) the date you reach age 85 (age 70 1/2
for Qualified Contracts other than Roth IRAs). In any one Contract Year, we will
not
    
                                       21
<PAGE>   89
 
accept Premium Payments that total more than two times your first Premium
Payment. We will not accept total Premium Payments in excess of $250,000.
However, we reserve the right to waive these limitations.
 
     Under the Automatic Premium Payment Plan, you may select an annual,
semi-annual, quarterly or monthly payment schedule under which we will
automatically deduct Premium Payments from a bank or credit union account or
other source. The minimum amount of such payment is $1,000.
 
CANCELLATION -- THE 10 DAY FREE-LOOK PERIOD
 
     You have the right to cancel the Contract for any reason within 10 days
after you receive it (or within 20 days of receipt if the Contract is replacing
another annuity contract or insurance policy). In some jurisdictions, this
period may be longer than 10 days. To cancel the Contract, you must send a
Written Request for cancellation and the returned Contract to the Service Center
before the end of the Free-Look Period.
 
     The amount that we will refund to you will vary according to state
requirements. In most states, we will refund to you an amount equal to the sum
of: (i) the difference between the Premium Payments paid and the amounts
allocated to the Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account under the Contract; and
(ii) the Contract Value as of the date the Contract and the Written Request for
cancellation are received at the Service Center. You bear the investment risk
for Premium Payments allocated to the Variable Accounts during the free-look
period.
 
     A few states require us to return Premium Payments upon cancellation. If
state law requires that Premium Payments be returned, the amount of the refund
will be the greater of: (i) the Premium Payments made under the Contract; and
(ii) the Contract Value (without the deduction of a Withdrawal Charge) on the
date the Contract and the Written Request for cancellation is received at our
Service Center, plus any amount that may have been deducted for premium taxes.
In those states where Premium Payments must be returned, we will place any
portion of the initial Net Premium Payments allocated to a Variable Account into
the Money Market Variable Account for a 15-day period following the date on
which we credit the initial Premium Payment to your Contract. At the end of that
period, the amount in the Money Market Variable Account will be allocated to the
Variable Accounts you selected on your application based on the allocation
percentages you specified.
 
DESIGNATING YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS
 
   
     When you fill out your application, you will give us instructions on how to
allocate your first Net Premium Payment among the eighteen Variable Accounts and
the Fixed Account. The amount you direct to a particular Variable Account and/or
to the Fixed Account must equal at least 1% of the Premium Payment.
    
 
     Once we receive your Premium Payment and your completed application at the
Service Center, we will issue your Contract and direct your first Net Premium
Payment within two (2) Business Days to the Variable Accounts and/or the Fixed
Account in accordance with your instructions, subject to the limitations set
forth above under "Cancellation -- The 10-Day Free Look Period."
 
     If you did not give us all the information we need, we will contact you. If
we cannot complete the application within five (5) Business Days, we will either
send back your money immediately or obtain your permission to keep your money
until we receive all the necessary information. Once the application is
complete, we will direct your first Net Premium Payment to the Variable Accounts
and/or the Fixed Account according to your instructions within two Business
Days.
 
     We will credit any additional Premium Payments you make to your Contract as
of the same Business Day we receive them. Our Business Day closes when the New
York Stock Exchange closes, usually at 4 p.m. Eastern Time. If we receive your
Premium Payments after the close of our Business Day, we will calculate and
credit them the next Business Day. We will direct your Premium Payment to the
Variable Accounts and/or the Fixed Account according to your written
instructions in effect at the time we receive it. However, you may direct
individual Premium Payments to a specific Variable Account or to the Fixed
Account (or any combination thereof) without changing your instructions. You may
change your instructions directing your
                                       22
<PAGE>   90
 
investments at any time by sending us a Written Request or by telephone
authorization. Changing such instructions will not change the way existing
Contract Value is apportioned among the Variable Accounts or the Fixed Account.
 
THE CONTRACT VALUE ALLOCATED TO A VARIABLE ACCOUNT WILL VARY WITH THE INVESTMENT
EXPERIENCE OF THAT VARIABLE ACCOUNT. YOU BEAR THE ENTIRE INVESTMENT RISK FOR
AMOUNTS YOU ALLOCATE TO THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS. YOU SHOULD PERIODICALLY REVIEW
YOUR PREMIUM PAYMENT ALLOCATION INSTRUCTIONS IN LIGHT OF MARKET CONDITIONS AND
YOUR OVERALL FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES.
 
SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE
 
     The value of your investment in the Separate Account will go up or down
depending on the investment experience of the Portfolios underlying the Variable
Accounts you select for investment. Separate Account Value will be decreased by
any partial withdrawals, transfers and Separate Account charges. There is no
guaranteed minimum Separate Account Value. Because the value in the Separate
Account of your Contract on any future date depends upon market conditions, it
cannot be predetermined.
 
     Calculating Separate Account Value.  The Separate Account Value is
determined at the end of each Business Day. It is the sum of the assets you have
in each of the Variable Accounts. To measure the value of each Variable Account,
we use a unit of measure called an Accumulation Unit.
 
     Determining the Number of Accumulation Units.  Any money you allocate or
transfer to a Variable Account will be converted into Accumulation Units and
will increase the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Variable Account.
We determine the number of Accumulation Units to be credited to the Variable
Account by dividing the dollar amount of the payment or transfer by the
Accumulation Unit value for that Variable Account as of the end of that Business
Day. (See "Determining Accumulation Unit Value" below.)
 
     Any amounts transferred, withdrawn or deducted from a Variable Account will
be processed by cancelling or liquidating Accumulation Units. The number of
Accumulation Units to be cancelled is determined by dividing the dollar amount
being removed from a Variable Account by the value of an Accumulation Unit for
that Variable Account as of the end of the Business Day during which the amount
was removed. The number of Accumulation Units in any Variable Account will be
decreased at the end of each Business Day by:
 
        (a) any amounts transferred (and any applicable Transfer Fee) from that
            Variable Account to another Variable Account or to the Fixed
            Account,
 
        (b) any amounts withdrawn during that Business Day,
 
        (c) any Withdrawal Charge or premium tax assessed upon a full or partial
            withdrawal, and
 
        (d) the quarterly Contract Fee, if assessed on that Business Day.
 
     Determining Accumulation Unit Value.  On the first day of operation for
each Variable Account, the value of an Accumulation Unit for that Variable
Account is set at $10. We recalculate the value of an Accumulation Unit for each
Variable Account at the end of each Business Day. Accumulation Unit Value is
calculated by multiplying the value of an Accumulation Unit at the end of the
immediately preceding Business Day by the Variable Account's Net Investment
Factor for the current Business Day. The Net Investment Factor for each Variable
Account reflects the investment performance and capital gains and losses
(whether realized or unrealized) of the underlying Portfolio and certain
Separate Account charges for that Business Day. The formula for computing the
Net Investment Factor may be found in the Statement of Additional Information.

                      TRANSFERS BETWEEN INVESTMENT OPTIONS
 
     General.  Before the Annuity Start Date and subject to the restrictions
described below, you may transfer all or part of the amount in a Variable
Account or the Fixed Account to another Variable Account or the Fixed Account.
 
   
     If you transfer money out of an Eligible Variable Account, you will reduce
the value of the Eligible Premium Payment on which your Living Benefit is based.
(See "Living Benefit.") IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE SECTION ON "LIVING
BENEFIT" BEFORE YOU MAKE A TRANSFER IF YOU HAVE SELECTED THE LIVING BENEFIT
OPTION.
    
 
     Transfers to the Fixed Account must be at least $1,000. Before the Annuity
Start Date, you may transfer up to 20% of the Fixed Account Value (as determined
at the beginning of the Contract Year) from the Fixed Account to one or more of
the Variable Accounts in any Contract Year. We measure a Contract Year from the
anniversary of the day we issued your Contract. We do not charge a Transfer Fee
for transfers from the Fixed Account to one or more Variable Accounts and such a
transfer is not considered a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer
charge.
 
     Transfers will be made as of the Business Day on which we receive your
Written Request or telephone authorization to transfer, provided we receive it
before the close of our Business Day, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If we
receive your request after the close of our Business Day, we will make the
transfer as of the next Business Day. There currently is no limit on the number
of transfers that you can make before the Annuity Start Date among or between
Variable Accounts or to the Fixed Account.
 
     Telephone Transfers.  We will make a transfer based upon instructions you
give us over the telephone, provided we have on file a currently valid telephone
transfer authorization that you have signed. If you have not completed such an
authorization on your application, you must send a telephone transfer
authorization form to our Service Center. Your authorization is valid until you
revoke it in writing or until the Service Center receives a subsequently dated
form that you have signed. You may use your telephone to authorize a transfer
from one Variable Account or the Fixed Account to another Variable Account or
the Fixed Account, to change the allocation instructions for future investments,
to change Dollar-Cost Averaging, interest sweep and Automatic Account Balancing
options and/or to request a partial withdrawal.
 
     We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine. If we follow such procedures we will not
be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We may
be liable for such losses if we do not follow those reasonable procedures. The
procedures that we may follow for telephone transfers include providing you with
a written confirmation of all transfers made according to telephone
instructions, requiring a form of personal identification prior to acting on
instructions received by telephone, and tape recording instructions received by
telephone.
 
     We reserve the right to modify, restrict, suspend or eliminate the transfer
privileges (including the telephone transfer facility) at any time, for any
class of Contracts, for any reason. In particular, we reserve the right not to
honor transfers requested by a third party holding a power of attorney from you
where that third party requests simultaneous transfers on your behalf of two or
more Contracts.
 
   
     Transfer Fee.  We will impose a transfer fee of $25 for the thirteenth and
each subsequent transfer request you make per Contract Year. For the purpose of
assessing the Transfer Fee, each Written Request will be considered to be one
transfer, regardless of the number of Variable Accounts affected by the
transfer. There is currently no limit on the number of transfers you can make of
Contract Value from one or more Variable Accounts to another one or more of the
Variable Accounts or the Fixed Account during a single Contract Year before the
Annuity Start Date. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
    
 
   
     Dollar-Cost Averaging.  The Dollar-Cost Averaging program permits you to
systematically transfer (on a monthly or quarterly basis) a set dollar amount
from one or more Variable Accounts or the Fixed Account to any other Variable
Accounts. The fixed dollar amount will purchase more Accumulation Units of a
Variable Account when their value is lower and fewer units when their value is
higher. Over time, the cost per unit averages out to be less than if all
purchases of units had been made at the highest value and greater than if
    
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   92
 
all purchases had been made at the lowest value. The dollar-cost averaging
method of investment reduces the risk of making purchases only when the price of
Accumulation Units is high. It does not assure a profit or protect against a
loss in declining markets.
 
   
     You may elect to participate in the Dollar-Cost Averaging program when you
complete your application, or at any other time before the Annuity Start Date,
by sending us a Written Request. To use the Dollar-Cost Averaging program, you
must transfer at least $100 to each Variable Account. Once you elect the
program, it remains in effect for the life of the Contract until the value of
the Variable Account from which transfers are being made is depleted, and/or the
value of the Fixed Account is expended, or until you cancel the program by
Written Request or by telephone request if we have your telephone authorization
on file. There is no additional charge for dollar-cost averaging, and a transfer
under this program is not considered a transfer for purposes of assessing a
transfer change. We reserve the right to discontinue offering the Dollar-Cost
Averaging program at any time and for any reason.
    
 
   
     Dollar-Cost Averaging from an Eligible Variable Account will reduce the
value of the Eligible Premium Payment on which the Living Benefit is based. (See
"Living Benefit.")
    
 
     Interest Sweep.  Before the Annuity Start Date, you may elect to have any
interest credited to the Fixed Account automatically transferred on a quarterly
basis to one or more Variable Accounts. There is no charge for interest sweep
transfers and an interest sweep transfer is not considered a transfer for
purposes of assessing a transfer charge. Amounts transferred out of the Fixed
Account due to an interest sweep transfer are counted toward the 20% of Fixed
Account Value that may be transferred out of the Fixed Account during any
Contract Year.
 
   
     Automatic Account Balancing Service.  Once your money has been allocated
among the Variable Accounts, the performance of each Variable Account may cause
your allocation to shift. You may instruct us to automatically rebalance your
Variable Account values (on a monthly or quarterly basis) to return to the
percentages specified in your allocation instructions. You may elect to
participate in the Automatic Account Balancing Service when you complete your
application or at any other time before the Annuity Start Date by sending us a
Written Request. Your percentage allocations must be in whole percentages and be
at least 1% per allocation. You may start and stop Automatic Account Balancing
at any time by sending us a Written Request or by telephone request, if we have
your telephone authorization on file. There is no additional charge for using
Automatic Account Balancing, and an account balancing transfer is not considered
a transfer for purposes of assessing a transfer charge. We reserve the right to
discontinue offering the Automatic Account Balancing Service at any time and for
any reason.
    
 
   
     Automatic Account Balancing from an Eligible Variable Account will reduce

                                FEES AND CHARGES
 
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
 
   
     General.  We do not deduct a charge for sales expenses from Premium
Payments at the time Premium Payments are paid to us. However, we will deduct
any applicable Withdrawal Charge if you fully or partially withdraw Contract
Value before the Annuity Start Date. We do not assess a Withdrawal Charge on
withdrawals made in the event the Contract terminates due to your death or the
death of the Annuitant, or if you decide to begin to receive annuity payments
and you choose an annuity payout plan with a life contingency or an annuity
payout plan with a period certain of at least 10 years.
    
 
     The amount of the Withdrawal Charge you may incur depends on the Withdrawal
Charge Option you choose at the time you purchase your Contract. ONCE YOU CHOOSE
YOUR WITHDRAWAL CHARGE OPTION, YOU CANNOT CHANGE IT. If your initial Premium
Payment is $100,000 or more, you may choose one of two Free Withdrawal Options
at the time you complete your application.

     Withdrawal Charge Options.  When you purchase your Contract, you must
choose between two Withdrawal Charge Options.
 
     The DATE OF ISSUE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE OPTION is designed for the owner who
wishes to make additional Premium Payments periodically over the life of the
Contract. The charge expires after the ninth Contract Year, benefiting those
owners who intend to continue to make Premium Payments after the ninth Contract
Year.
 
   
     The PREMIUM PAYMENT WITHDRAWAL CHARGE OPTION is more suitable for the owner
who currently intends to make only a single Premium Payment or several Premium
Payments close in time to the date the Contract is issued. This withdrawal
charge option is not designed for the owner who intends to make additional
Premium Payments over an extended period of time because each time you make
another Premium Payment, the seven-year period for paying the Withdrawal Charge
begins again with respect to that payment.
    
 
   
     The Withdrawal Charge is separately calculated for each withdrawal you
make. For purposes of calculating the Withdrawal Charge, the money that has been
held the longest in the Contract will be deemed to be the first money withdrawn.
This is called the "first in, first out" method of accounting or "FIFO." In
addition, amounts subject to the Withdrawal Charge will be deemed to be first
from Premium Payments, and then from earnings. This means that we will not
deduct a Withdrawal Charge on withdrawals of that portion of your Contract Value
that exceeds the sum total of your Premium Payments.
    
 
     IF YOU CHOOSE THE DATE OF ISSUE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE OPTION:  We will impose a
Withdrawal Charge on all partial or full withdrawals of Premium Payments that
you make during the first nine Contract Years if the amount of the withdrawal
exceeds the Free Withdrawal Amount. The Withdrawal Charge is calculated as a
percentage of the amount you withdraw based on the number of years between the
date we receive your Written Request for withdrawal and the Date of Issue. The
rate of the Withdrawal Charge is listed in the table below. Under this option,
no Withdrawal Charge is deducted from full or partial withdrawals that you make
in Contract Years ten and later.

     IF YOU CHOOSE THE DATE OF PREMIUM PAYMENT WITHDRAWAL CHARGE OPTION:  We
will calculate the Withdrawal Charge by determining the length of time between
the date we receive your Written Request for a withdrawal and the date you made
the Premium Payment being withdrawn. We will deduct a Withdrawal Charge if you
withdraw a Premium Payment that we have held for less than seven Premium Payment
Years if it is greater than the Free Withdrawal Amount.

     Any applicable Withdrawal Charge is deducted pro-rata from the remaining
value in the Variable Accounts or Fixed Account from which the withdrawal is
being made. If such remaining Separate Account Value or Fixed Account Value is
insufficient for this purpose, the Withdrawal Charge is deducted pro-rata from
all Variable Accounts and the Fixed Account in which the Contract is invested
based on the remaining Contract Value in each Variable Account and the Fixed
Account.
 
   
     Free Withdrawal Amount.  In any Contract Year after the first, you may
withdraw a portion of your Contract Value without incurring a Withdrawal Charge.
This amount is called the Free Withdrawal Amount. Withdrawals under the
Systematic Withdrawal Program are also permitted a Free Withdrawal Amount, as
determined below, during the first Contract Year. If your initial Premium
Payment is less than $100,000, the Free Withdrawal Amount is 10% of Contract
Value each year, as determined at the beginning of the Contract Year. If you do
not withdraw the full 10% in any Contract Year after the first, the remaining
amount does not roll over to the next Contract Year.
    
 
     If your initial Premium Payment is $100,000 or more, the Free Withdrawal
Amount depends on the Free Withdrawal Option you choose at the time you purchase
your Contract. Once you choose an option, you cannot change it.
 
   
     IF YOU CHOOSE THE CUMULATIVE 10% OPTION:  After the first Contract Year,
you may withdraw up to 10% of your Contract Value as of the beginning of each
Contract Year and we will not charge you a Withdrawal Charge on that amount. If
you do not withdraw the full 10% in any one Contract Year, the remaining
percentage may be rolled over to the next Contract Year, up to a maximum of 50%
of Contract Value after 5 years measured as of the beginning of each Contract
Year.
    
 
     IF YOU CHOOSE THE EARNINGS OPTION:  After the first Contract Year, you may
withdraw part or all of your earnings under the Contract at any time without
incurring a Withdrawal Charge. Earnings are equal to your Contract Value minus
Premium Payments, transfers and partial withdrawals.
 
   
     Amounts withdrawn in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount will be assessed
a Withdrawal Charge, depending on the Withdrawal Charge Option you choose. (See
"Withdrawal Charge.") Free withdrawals may be subject to the 10% federal penalty
tax if made before you reach age 59 1/2.
    
 
     Waiver of Withdrawal Charge.  If state law permits, we will waive the
Withdrawal Charge if the Annuitant or the Annuitant's spouse is confined for a
specified period to a hospital (as described in the Contract) or a long term
care facility (as described in the Contract). If the Annuitant becomes
terminally ill (as described in the Contract) before the Annuity Start Date and
if permitted by state law, we will waive the Withdrawal Charge on any full
withdrawal or any partial withdrawal, provided the partial withdrawal is at
least $500 and a $5,000 balance remains in the Accounts after the withdrawal. We
must receive your Written Request to waive the charge before the Annuity Start
Date.
 
   
     Under the terms of the Post-Secondary Education Rider, if you, your spouse,
your child or the Annuitant is enrolled in a college, university, vocational,
technical, trade or business school, we will waive the Withdrawal Charge on one
withdrawal of up to 20% of Contract Value in each Contract Year before the
Annuity Start Date while the Annuitant is alive, so long as this waiver is
permitted by state law. The maximum withdrawal permitted under the
Post-Secondary Education Rider, when combined with the Free Withdrawal Amount,
is 20% of Contract Value per Contract Year. Before the withdrawal, we must
receive at our Home Office written proof of enrollment to our satisfaction
within one (1) year of the date of enrollment. (See "Free Withdrawal Amount" and
the Statement of Additional Information.)
    
 
     Employee and Agent Purchases.  If state law permits, we will waive the
Withdrawal Charge on any full or partial withdrawals from Contracts sold to
agents or employees of Indianapolis Life Insurance Company (or its affiliates
and subsidiaries).
 
CONTRACT FEE
 
     At the end of each Contract quarter (or on the date of full withdrawal of
Contract Value) before the Annuity Start Date, we will deduct from the Contract
Value a quarterly contract fee of $7.50 as
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   95
 
reimbursement for our administrative expenses relating to the Contract. The fee
will be deducted from each Variable Account and the Fixed Account based on the
proportion that the value in each such Variable Account and the Fixed Account
bears to the total Contract Value. We will not charge the Contract Fee after an
annuity payout plan has begun. Deduction of the Contract Fee is currently waived
for all Qualified Contracts. We also currently waive deduction of the Contract
Fee for Non-Qualified Contracts whose cumulative Premium Payments on the date
the Contract Fee is assessed are equal to or greater than $100,000. We reserve
the right to modify this waiver upon 30 days written notice to you.
 
ASSET-BASED ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 
     We will deduct a daily administrative charge as compensation for certain
expenses we incur in the administration of the Contract. The charge is deducted
from the assets of the Separate Account at an annual rate of 0.15%. We will
continue to assess this charge after annuitization if annuity payments are made
on a variable basis. There is no necessary relationship between the amount of
this administrative charge and the amount of expenses that may be attributable
to a particular Contract.
 
TRANSFER FEE
 
     A transfer fee of $25 will be imposed for the 13th and each subsequent
transfer during a Contract Year. For the purpose of assessing the Transfer Fee,
each Written Request would be considered to be one transfer, regardless of the
number of Variable Accounts affected by the transfer. The transfer fee will be
deducted from the Variable Account from which the transfer is made. If a
transfer is made from more than one Variable Account at the same time, the
transfer fee would be deducted pro-rata from the remaining Separate Account
Value in such Variable Account(s). We reserve the right to waive the transfer
fee.
 
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
 
     As compensation for assuming mortality and expense risks, we will deduct a
daily mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the Separate Account.
The charge is at a daily rate of 0.003404%. If applied on an annual basis this
rate would be 1.25% (approximately 0.90% for mortality risk and 0.35% for
expense risk). This charge will continue to be assessed if annuity payments are
made on a variable basis either before or after the Annuity Start Date.
 
   
     The mortality risk we assume is that Annuitants may live for a longer
period of time than estimated when the guarantees in the Contract were
established. Because of these guarantees, each Annuitant is assured that
longevity will not have an adverse effect on the annuity payments received. The
mortality risk that we assume also includes a guarantee to pay a Death Benefit
if the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Start Date. The expense risk that we
assume is the risk that the administrative fees and transfer fees (if imposed)
may be insufficient to cover actual future expenses. We may use any profits from
this charge to pay the costs of distributing the Contracts.
    
 
FUND EXPENSES
 
   
     Because the Separate Account purchases shares or units of the various
Portfolios of the Funds, the net assets of the Separate Account will be reduced
by the investment advisory fees and other operating expenses incurred by such
Portfolios. See the accompanying prospectuses for the Portfolios.
    
 
PREMIUM TAXES
 
     Various states and other governmental entities charge a premium tax on
annuity contracts issued by insurance companies. Premium tax rates currently
range up to 3.5%, depending on the state. Tax rates are subject to change from
time to time by legislative and other governmental action. In addition, other
governmental units within a state may levy such taxes. We are responsible for
the payment of these taxes and, if necessary, we will make a deduction from the
value of your Contract either: (a) from Premium Payments as we receive them, (b)
from Contract Value upon partial or full withdrawal, (c) when annuity payments
begin,
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   96
 
or (d) upon payment of a Death Benefit. We, however, reserve the right to deduct
premium taxes at the time such taxes are paid to the taxing authority.
 
OTHER TAXES
 
   
     Currently, no charge is made against the Separate Account for any federal,
state or local taxes (other than premium taxes) that we incur or that may be
attributable to the Separate Account or the Contracts. We may, however, deduct
such a charge in the future from Surrender Value, Death Benefits or annuity
payments, as appropriate. Such taxes may include taxes (levied by any government
entity) which we determine to have resulted from: (1) the establishment or
maintenance of the Separate Account, (2) receipt by us of Premium Payments, (3)
issuance of the Contracts, or (4) the payment of annuity payments.
    
 
                               THE PAYOUT PERIOD
 
   
     The Payout Period is that period of time during which you will receive a
steady stream of annuity payments from the money you have accumulated under your
Contract. The Payout Period begins on the Annuity Start Date. You may choose to
receive your annuity payments on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination of
both. If you choose to have your Payout Option on a variable basis, you may keep
the same Variable Accounts to which your Premium Payments were allocated during
the Pay-in Period, or transfer to different Variable Accounts.
    
 
   
     THE ANNUITY START DATE.  If you own a Non-Qualified Contract, you may
select the Annuity Start Date on which you will begin to receive annuity
payments. If you do not specify a date, the Annuity Start Date is the later of
the Annuitant's age 70 or 10 years after the Date of Issue. For Qualified
Contracts purchased in connection with qualified plans under Code sections
401(a), 401(k), 403(b) and 457, the Code requires that the Annuity Start Date
must be no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the
year in which the Owner (i) reaches age 70 1/2 or (ii) retires and the payment
must be made in a specified form or manner. If the Owner is a "5 percent owner"
(as defined in the Code), or in the case of an IRA that satisfies Code section
408, the Annuity Start Date must be no later than the date described in (i).
Roth IRAs under Section 408A of the Code do not require distributions at any
time prior to the Owner's death.
    
 
   
     If you have chosen the Living Benefit option at the time you purchase the
Contract and you select an Annuity Start Date that is earlier than the Living
Benefit Date (i.e., 10 years after the Date of Issue), you will lose your
eligibility for the Living Benefit. (See "Living Benefit.")
    
 
   
     We will start annuity payments to the Annuitant on the Annuity Start Date
shown in your contract, unless you change the date. You may change your Annuity
Start Date if: (1) we receive your Written Request at the Service Center at
least 31 days before the current Annuity Start Date, and (2) the Annuity Start
Date you request is a Contract Anniversary or it is the date on which you fully
withdraw the Surrender Value.
    
 
     ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS.  You may elect, revoke, or change your annuity
payout plan at any time before the Annuity Start Date while the Annuitant is
living by sending us a Written Request signed by you and/or your beneficiary, as
appropriate. You may choose one of the payout plans described below or any other
plan being offered by us as of the Annuity Start Date. The payout plans we
currently offer provide either variable annuity payments or fixed annuity
payments or a combination of both.
 
     You may select to receive annuity payments on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis. The first payment under any payout plan will be
made on the fifteenth day of the month immediately following the Annuity Start
Date. Subsequent payments shall be made on the fifteenth of the month.
 
   
     If you do not select an annuity payout plan by the Annuity Start Date, we
will apply the adjusted Contract Value under Option 3, One Life Income with
payments guaranteed for 10 years, as described below. The adjusted Contract
Value will be allocated to a fixed and variable payout in the same proportion
that your interest in the Fixed and Variable Accounts bears to the total
Contract Value on the Annuity Start Date.
    
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   97
 
   
     Anytime before the Annuity Start Date, you may have the entire Surrender
Value paid to you as an annuity under one of the payout plans. A beneficiary may
have the Death Benefit paid as an annuity under one of the payout plans.
    
 
     We reserve the right to pay you the adjusted Contract Value in a lump sum
and not as an annuity if your adjusted Contract Value after the Annuity Start
Date would be less than $2,500, or the amount of annuity payments would be less
than $25.
 
     DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF THE ANNUITY PAYMENT.  On the Annuity Start Date,
the adjusted Contract Value will be used to calculate your annuity payments
under the payout plan you select, unless you choose to receive the Surrender
Value in a lump sum. In certain states, we must use the Surrender Value of your
Contract to calculate your annuity payments under the payout plan you choose,
rather than the adjusted Contract Value.
 
     The adjusted Contract Value is the Contract Value on the Annuity Start
Date:
 
        (1) MINUS the quarterly Contract Fee;
 
        (2) MINUS any applicable premium taxes not yet deducted; and
 
        (3) for an installment income annuity payout plan with a payout period
            of less than 10 years, MINUS any applicable Withdrawal Charge.
 
   
     For Qualified Contracts, the amount of any outstanding loan is also
deducted; distributions must satisfy certain requirements specified in the Code.
    
 
     We do not assess a Withdrawal Charge if you choose an annuity payout plan
with a life contingency or an installment payout plan with a period certain of
at least 10 years.
 
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS
 
   
     Fixed annuity payments are periodic payments that we make to the Annuitant.
The amount of the fixed annuity payment is fixed and guaranteed by us. The
amount of each payment depends only on the form and duration of the payout plan
you choose, the age of the Annuitant, the sex of the Annuitant (if applicable),
the amount of your adjusted Contract Value and the applicable annuity purchase
rates in the Contract. The annuity purchase rates in the Contract are based on a
minimum guaranteed interest rate of 3.0%. We may, in our sole discretion, make
annuity payments in an amount based on a higher interest rate.
    
 
VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
 
     As with fixed annuity payments, variable annuity payout plans guarantee
income either for life or the number of years that you have chosen. The amount
of your variable annuity payments will depend on the current value of the
underlying investments, which varies over time. Your contract will contain
annuity tables which demonstrate how the initial annuity payment rate is
derived. This rate is different for each payout plan, and varies by age and sex
of the annuitant. The contract will also permit you to choose a benchmark rate
of return for the Payout Period. You may choose a benchmark rate of 3.0%, 4.0%
or 5.0% annually. If the net investment performance is greater than this
benchmark rate, your payments will increase. If the performance falls below this
benchmark, your payments will decline. Therefore, if you choose a 5.0% benchmark
rate, you assume more risk that your income check may occasionally decline than
if you choose a 3.0% benchmark rate. For further details on Variable Annuity
Payments, see the Statement of Additional Information.
 
     Transfers.  After the Annuity Start Date, an Annuitant may change the
Variable Account(s) in which the annuity payout plan is invested once per
Contract Year by sending us a Written Request. No charge is assessed for this
transfer. We will make the transfer by exchanging annuity units of one Variable
Account for another Variable Account on an equivalent dollar value basis. See
the Statement of Additional Information for examples of annuity unit value
calculations and variable annuity payment calculations.

DESCRIPTION OF ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS
 
   
     Option 1 -- Installment Income For a Fixed Period.  Under this option, we
will make equal monthly annuity payments for a fixed number of years between 1
and 30 years. The amount of the payment is not guaranteed if a variable payout
plan is selected. If a fixed payout plan is selected, the payments for each
$1,000 of Contract Value will not be less than those shown in the Fixed Period
Table in Section 13 of the Contract. In the event of the Payee's death, a
Successor Payee may receive the remaining payments or may elect to receive the
present value of the remaining payments in a lump sum. If there is no Successor
Payee, the present value of the remaining payments will be paid to the estate of
the last surviving Payee.
    
 
   
     Option 2 -- Installment Income In a Fixed Amount.  Under this option, we
will make equal monthly payments of $5.00 or more for each $1,000 of Contract
Value used to purchase the option until the full amount is paid out. In the
event of the Payee's death, a Successor Payee may receive the payments or may
elect to receive the present value of the remaining payments in a lump sum. If
there is no Successor Payee, the present value of the remaining payments will be
paid to the estate of the last surviving Payee.
    
 
   
     Option 3 -- One Life Income.  Under this option, we will make an annuity
payment each month so long as the Payee is alive,* or for a guaranteed 10 or 20
year period. If when the Payee dies, we have made annuity payments for less than
the selected guaranteed period to the Successor Payee, we will continue to make
annuity payments for the rest of the guaranteed period. The amount of each
payment is not guaranteed if a variable payout plan is selected. If a fixed
payout plan is selected, the payment for each $1,000 of Contract Value used to
purchase the option will not be less than that shown in the One Life Table in
Section 12 of the Contract. Payments guaranteed for 10 or 20 years certain may
be commuted. Payments guaranteed only for the life of the Payee may not be
commuted.
    
 
     Option 4 -- Joint and Survivor Life Income.  Under this option, we will
make annuity payments each month so long as two Payees are alive, or if one
Payee dies to the surviving Payee.* If one Payee dies before the due date of the
first payment, the surviving Payee will receive payments under Option 3 -- One
Life Income with payments guaranteed for 10 years. The payments may not be
commuted.
 
     The amount of each payment will be determined from the tables in the
Contract that apply to the particular option using the Annuitant's age (and if
applicable, sex). Age will be determined from the last birthday at the due date
of the first payment.
 
                          WITHDRAWAL OF CONTRACT VALUE
 
   
     Full Withdrawals.  At any time before the Annuity Start Date, you may
withdraw fully from the Contract for its Surrender Value. The Surrender Value is
equal to the Contract Value MINUS (1) any applicable Withdrawal Charges; MINUS
(2) any premium taxes not previously deducted; and MINUS (3) the Contract Fee
unless waived. For Qualified Contracts, any outstanding loan balance is also
deducted. The Surrender Value will be determined as of the Business Day that we
receive your Written Request requesting full withdrawal and your Contract at our
Service Center. The Surrender Value will be paid in a lump sum unless you
request payment under a payout plan. (See "The Payout Period.") A full
withdrawal may have adverse federal income tax consequences, including a penalty
tax. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     Partial Withdrawals.  At any time before the Annuity Start Date, you may
send a Written Request to us to withdraw part of your Contract Value. You must
withdraw at least $250. We will withdraw the amount you request from the
Contract Value as of the Business Day on which we receive your Written Request
for the partial withdrawal. We will then reduce the amount remaining in the
Contract by any applicable Withdrawal Charge. Your Contract Value after a
partial withdrawal must be at least $1,000. If your Contract Value after a
partial withdrawal is less than $1,000, we reserve the right to pay you the
Surrender Value in a lump sum. (See "Fees and Charges -- Withdrawal Charge.")
    
 
- ---------------
* IT IS POSSIBLE UNDER THIS OPTION TO RECEIVE ONLY ONE ANNUITY PAYMENT IF THE
  PAYEE DIES (OR PAYEES DIE) BEFORE THE DUE DATE OF THE SECOND PAYMENT OR TO
  RECEIVE ONLY TWO ANNUITY PAYMENTS IF THE PAYEE DIES (OR PAYEES DIE) BEFORE THE
  DUE DATE OF THE THIRD PAYMENT, AND SO ON.
                                       31
<PAGE>   99
 
   
     You may specify how much you wish to withdraw from each Variable Account
and/or the Fixed Account. If you do not specify, or if you do not have
sufficient assets in the Variable Accounts or Fixed Account you specified to
comply with your request, we will make the partial withdrawal on a pro rata
basis from the Fixed Account and those Variable Accounts in which you are
invested. We will base the pro rata reduction on the ratio that the value in
each Variable Account and the Fixed Account has to the entire Contract Value
before the partial withdrawal.
    
 
   
     If you withdraw money from an Eligible Variable Account, you will reduce
the value of the Eligible Premium Payment on which your Living Benefit is based.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE SECTION ON "LIVING BENEFIT" BEFORE YOU MAKE A
WITHDRAWAL IF YOU HAVE SELECTED THE LIVING BENEFIT OPTION.
    
 
     INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO ANY
WITHDRAWAL YOU MAKE. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
 
     Systematic Withdrawal Program.  The Systematic Withdrawal Program provides
an automatic monthly or quarterly payment to you, the Owner, from the amounts
you have accumulated in the Variable Accounts and/or the Fixed Account. The
minimum amount you may withdraw is $100. The maximum amount that may be
transferred and withdrawn out of the Fixed Account in any Contract Year under
all circumstances (Dollar-Cost Averaging, Systematic Withdrawals and Partial
Withdrawals) is 20% of the Fixed Account Value as determined at the beginning of
the Contract Year. To use the program, you must maintain a $1,000 balance in
your Contract. You may elect to participate in the Systematic Withdrawal Program
at any time before the Annuity Start Date by sending a Written Request to our
Service Center. Once you elect the program, it remains in effect unless the
balance in your Contract drops below $1,000. You may cancel the program at any
time by sending us a Written Request or by calling us by telephone if we have
your telephone authorization on file.
 
     We will assess a Withdrawal Charge on these withdrawals, unless the amount
you withdraw under the Systematic Withdrawal Program qualifies as a Free
Withdrawal Amount or unless Withdrawal Charges no longer apply to the amounts
withdrawn. Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Program are permitted a
Free Withdrawal Amount during the first Contract Year. (See "Fees and
Charges -- Withdrawal Charge.") We do not deduct any other charges for this
program.
 
     All Systematic Withdrawals will be paid to you on the same day each month,
provided that day is a Business Day. If it is not, then payment will be made on
the next Business Day. Systematic withdrawals may be taxable, subject to
withholding, and subject to a 10% penalty tax. (See "Federal Tax Matters.") We
reserve the right to discontinue offering the Systematic Withdrawal Program at
any time and for any reason.
 
   
     Systematic Withdrawals from an Eligible Variable Account will reduce the
value of the Eligible Premium Payment on which the Living Benefit is based. (See
"Living Benefit.")
    
 
     Full and Partial Withdrawal Restrictions.  Your right to make full and
partial withdrawals is subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law or
employee benefit plan.
 
   
     Restrictions on Distributions from Certain Types of Contracts.  There are
certain restrictions on full and partial withdrawals from Contracts used as
funding vehicles for Code Section 403(b) retirement programs. Section 403(b)(11)
of the Code restricts the distribution under Section 403(b) annuity contracts
of: (i) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988;
(ii) earnings on those contributions; and (iii) earnings in such years on
amounts held as of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989. Distributions
of those amounts may only occur upon the death of the employee, attainment of
age 59 1/2, separation from service, disability, or financial hardship. In
addition, income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed
in the case of hardship.
    
 
                                 CONTRACT LOANS
 
     If your Contract is issued to you in connection with retirement programs
meeting the requirements of Section 403(b) of the Code (other than those
programs subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974), you may borrow from us using your Contract as collateral. Loans such as
these
                                       32
<PAGE>   100
 
are subject to the provisions of any applicable retirement program and to the
Code. You should, therefore, consult your tax and retirement plan advisers
before taking a contract loan.
 
     At any time prior to the year the Owner reaches age 70 1/2, you may borrow
the lesser of (1) the maximum loan amount permitted under the Code, and (2) 90%
of the Surrender Value of your Contract less any existing loan amount,
determined as of the date of the loan. Loans in excess of the maximum amount
permitted under the Code will be treated as a taxable distribution rather than a
loan. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. We will only make contract loans after
approving your written application. The written consent of all assignees and
irrevocable beneficiaries must be obtained before a loan will be given.
 
     When a loan is made, we will transfer an amount equal to the amount
borrowed from Separate Account Value or Fixed Account Value to the loan account.
The loan account is part of our general account, and Contract Value in the loan
account does not participate in the investment experience of any Variable
Account or Fixed Account. You must indicate in the loan application from which
Variable Accounts or Fixed Account, and in what amounts, Contract Value is to be
transferred to the loan account. In the absence of any such instructions from
you, the transfer(s) are made pro-rata on a last-in, first out ("LIFO") basis
from all Variable Accounts having Separate Account Value and from the Fixed
Account. Loans may be repaid by you at any time before the Annuity Start Date.
Upon the repayment of any portion of a loan, an amount equal to the repayment
will be transferred from the loan account to the Variable Account(s) or Fixed
Account as designated by you or according to your current Premium Payment
allocation instructions.
 
     We charge interest on contract loans at an effective annual rate of 6.0%.
We pay interest on the Contract Value in the loan account at rates we determine
from time to time but never less than an effective annual rate of 3.0%.
Consequently, the net cost of a loan is the difference between 6.0% and the rate
being paid from time to time on the Contract Value in the loan account. We may
declare from time to time higher current interest rates. Different current
interest rates may be applied to the loan account than the rest of the Fixed
Account. If not repaid, loans will automatically reduce the amount of any Death
Benefit, the amount payable upon a partial or full withdrawal of Contract Value
and the amount applied on the Annuity Start Date to provide annuity payments.
 
     If at any time, the loan amount of a Contract exceeds the Surrender Value,
the Contract will be in default. In this event, we will send you a written
notice of default stating the amount of loan repayment needed to reinstate the
Contract, and you will have 60 days, from the day the notice is mailed, to pay
the stated amount. If we do not receive the required loan repayment within 60
days, we will terminate the Contract without value. In addition, in order to
comply with the requirements of the Code, loans must be repaid in substantially
equal installments, at least quarterly, over a period of no longer than five
years (which can be longer for certain home loans). If these requirements are
not satisfied, or if the Contract terminates while a loan is outstanding, the
loan balance will be treated as a taxable distribution and may be subject to
penalty tax, and the treatment of the Contract under Section 403(b) of the Code
may be adversely affected.
 
     Any loan amount outstanding at the time of your death or the death of the
Annuitant is deducted from any Death Benefit paid. In addition, a contract loan,
whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Contract Value
because the investment experience of the Separate Account and the interest rates
applicable to the Fixed Account do not apply to the portion of Contract Value
transferred to the loan account. The longer the loan remains outstanding, the
greater this effect is likely to be.
 
                                 DEATH BENEFITS
 
DEATH BENEFITS BEFORE THE ANNUITY START DATE
 
     Death Benefit.  If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Start Date, the
Beneficiary will receive a Death Benefit. If you do not choose the Enhanced
Death Benefit option, the Death Benefit will be equal to the greater of:
 
        (1) the sum of all Premium Payments made under the Contract, LESS
            partial withdrawals, as of the date we receive due proof of the
            deceased's death and payment instructions; or

                                       33
<PAGE>   101
 
        (2) the Contract Value as of the date we receive due proof of the
            deceased's death and payment instructions;
 
LESS any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted.
 
     Enhanced Death Benefit.  If you elect the three year stepped-up Enhanced
Death Benefit option at the time of purchase, the minimum Enhanced Death Benefit
payable upon the death of the Annuitant before the Annuity Start Date will be
reset every third year on the Death Benefit Anniversary if the Contract Value on
such Death Benefit Anniversary is greater than the Contract Value on the
previous Death Benefit Anniversary. The Enhanced Death Benefit will equal the
greater of:
 
        (1) the Contract Value as of the date we receive due proof of the
            deceased's death and payment instructions; or
 
        (2) the highest Contract Value as of any Death Benefit Anniversary
            preceding the date the Enhanced Death Benefit is determined, plus
            any Premium Payments, and minus any withdrawals and charges,
            incurred between such Death Benefit Anniversary and the date the
            Enhanced Death Benefit is determined. This value is initially set on
            the first Death Benefit Anniversary and equals the greater of: (a)
            the sum of Premium Payments, MINUS partial withdrawals; or (b)
            Contract Value, on that date. This value will be reset on every
            future Death Benefit Anniversary (that is, every third Contract
            Anniversary) to equal Contract Value on that date only if Contract
            Value on that Death Benefit Anniversary is greater than the Enhanced
            Death Benefit Value on any previous Death Benefit Anniversary. Once
            reset, this value will never decrease unless partial withdrawals are
            made;
 
LESS any applicable premium taxes not previously deducted.
 
     Age Limitation Under Either Death Benefit Option.  If the Annuitant dies at
or after age 75 (or ten years after the Date of Issue, whichever is later) but
before the Annuity Start Date, the Death Benefit will equal Contract Value, LESS
any applicable premium taxes not yet deducted, as of the date we receive due
proof of death and payment instructions.
 
     Loans.  If the Contract is a Qualified Contract, any outstanding loan
amount on the date the Death Benefit is paid will also be deducted from the
Death Benefit.
 
     Distribution Upon the Owner's Death.  If you own the Contract with another
person, and one of you dies before the Annuity Start Date, the survivor becomes
the sole Beneficiary regardless of your designation. If there is no surviving
Owner, your named Beneficiary will become the Beneficiary upon your death. (You
may name primary and contingent beneficiaries.) If you have named two or more
primary Beneficiaries, they will share equally in the death benefit (described
below) unless you have specified otherwise. If there are no living primary
Beneficiaries at the time of your death, payments will be made to those
contingent Beneficiaries who are living when payment of the death benefit is
due. If all the Beneficiaries have predeceased you, we will pay the death
benefit to your estate. If you or a Joint Owner who is the Annuitant dies before
the Annuity Start Date, then the provisions relating to the death of an
Annuitant (described below) will govern.
 
     If you are not the Annuitant and you die before the Annuitant and before
the Annuity Start Date, then the following options are available to your
Beneficiary:
 
        (1) If such Beneficiary is the spouse of the deceased Owner, the spouse
            may continue the Contract as the new Owner.
 
        (2) If such Beneficiary is not the spouse of the deceased Owner:
 
           (a) such Beneficiary may elect to receive the Contract Value, LESS
               any premium taxes not yet deducted, in a single sum within 5
               years of the deceased Owner's death; or
 
           (b) such Beneficiary may elect to receive the Contract Value paid out
               under one of the approved payout plans, provided that
               distributions begin within one year of the deceased
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   102
 
               Owner's death and the distribution period under the payout plan
               is for the life of, or for a period not exceeding the life
               expectancy of, the Beneficiary.
 
           If such Beneficiary does not elect one of the above options, we will
pay the Contract Value, LESS any premium taxes not yet deducted, within five
years from the date of the deceased Owner's death.
 
Under any of the distribution options in this section, "Distribution Upon the
Owner's Death," the Beneficiary may exercise all ownership rights and privileges
from the date of the deceased Owner's death until the date that the Contract
Value is paid. Similar rules apply to Qualified Contracts. The above
distribution requirements will apply only upon the death of the first Joint
Owner.
 
     Distribution Upon the Death of the Annuitant.  If the Annuitant (including
an Owner who is the Annuitant) dies before the Annuity Start Date, we will pay
the Death Benefit described above in "Death Benefits Before the Annuity Start
Date" in a lump sum to your named Beneficiaries within five years after the date
of the Annuitant's death. (You may name primary and contingent beneficiaries.)
If you have named two or more primary Beneficiaries, they will share equally in
the Death Benefit unless you have specified otherwise. If there are no living
primary Beneficiaries at the time of the Annuitant's death, payments will be
made to those contingent Beneficiaries who are living when payment of the Death
Benefit is due. If all the Beneficiaries have predeceased the Annuitant, we will
pay the Death Benefit to you, if living, or the Annuitant's estate. In lieu of a
lump sum payment, the Beneficiary may elect, within 60 days of the date we
receive due proof of the Annuitant's death, to apply the Death Benefit to a
payout plan. (See "Payout Options.")
 
     If you are also the Annuitant and you die, the provisions described
immediately above apply, except that the Beneficiary may only apply the Death
Benefit payment to a payout plan if:
 
        (1) payments under the option begin within one (1) year of the
            Annuitant's death; and
 
        (2) payments under the option are payable over the Beneficiary's life or
            over a period not greater than the Beneficiary's life expectancy.
 
DEATH OF PAYEE AFTER THE ANNUITY START DATE
 
     If the Payee dies after the Annuity Start Date, any Joint Payee becomes the
sole Payee. If there is no Joint Payee, the Successor Payee becomes the sole
Payee. If there is no Successor Payee, the remaining benefits are paid to the
estate of the last surviving Payee. The death of the Payee after the Annuity
Start Date will have the effect stated in the payout plan pursuant to which
annuity payments are being made. If any Owner dies on or after the Annuity Start
Date, any payments that remain must be made at least as rapidly as under the
payout plan in effect on the date of the your death.
 
                               THE LIVING BENEFIT
 
   
     If you elect the Living Benefit option and if you do not choose to receive
annuity payments until you have owned the Contract for at least 10 years, IL
Annuity will calculate the Living Benefit for each Eligible Variable Account on
the Living Benefit Date. The Living Benefit will be credited to an Eligible
Variable Account if the value of the Eligible Variable Account on the Living
Benefit Date is less than the current value of the Eligible Premium Payment for
that Eligible Variable Account.
    
 
   
     An Eligible Premium Payment is that portion of your first Premium Payment
that you allocated to a particular Eligible Variable Account on the Date of
Issue. It will be reduced by a percentage of all withdrawals and transfers you
make out of that Eligible Variable Account.
    
 
   
     The Living Benefit that we will credit to a particular Eligible Variable
Account on the Living Benefit Date is: (a) the value of the Eligible Premium
Payment on the Date of Issue for that particular Eligible Variable Account;
MINUS (b) a percentage of all withdrawals and transfers from that Eligible
Variable Account; MINUS (c) the value of that Eligible Variable Account on the
Living Benefit Date.
    
 
   
     The Living Benefit Date is 10 years after the Date of Issue.
    
                                       35
<PAGE>   103
 
   
     If the Contract is owned by persons who are spouses at the time one Joint
Owner dies, the Living Benefit Date will remain the same date. If the Contract
is owned by Joint Owners who are not spouses and one of the Joint Owners dies
before the Living Benefit Date, the original Living Benefit Date remains in
effect provided no distributions have occurred as a result of the Owner's death.
(See "Death Benefits.") Currently, all Variable Accounts are Eligible Variable
Accounts.
    
 
   
     You will not receive the Living Benefit if you choose an Annuity Start Date
that is earlier than the Living Benefit Date.
    
 
   
     A TRANSFER OR A PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS OUT OF AN ELIGIBLE
VARIABLE ACCOUNT WILL REDUCE THE VALUE OF ELIGIBLE PREMIUM PAYMENT FOR THE
ELIGIBLE VARIABLE ACCOUNT IN THE SAME PROPORTION AS THE TRANSFER OR WITHDRAWAL
REDUCED THE VALUE OF THE ELIGIBLE VARIABLE ACCOUNT. EXAMPLES #3 AND 4 BELOW
ILLUSTRATE HOW THIS FEATURE OF THE LIVING BENEFIT WORKS.
    
 
     For purposes of calculating the value of an Eligible Variable Account, we
deem all transfers and withdrawals to be first a withdrawal of Premium Payments,
then of earnings. Transfers out of an Eligible Variable Account include
transfers resulting from Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Account Balancing;
withdrawals out of an Eligible Variable Account include withdrawals resulting
from the Systematic Withdrawal Payments.
 
     The following examples illustrate how the Living Benefit works:
 
          Example #1:
 
   
          Suppose an Owner buys a Contract with a single Premium Payment of
     $50,000 and immediately allocates the $50,000 to an Eligible Variable
     Account. The Owner does not withdraw or transfer any amounts from the
     Eligible Variable Account. As of the Living Benefit Date (which is ten
     years later), $50,000 is the current value of the Eligible Premium Payment
     on the Living Benefit Date.
    
 
   
          IL Annuity will calculate the Living Benefit for the Eligible Variable
     Account by comparing the current value of the Eligible Premium Payment in
     the Eligible Variable Account on the Living Benefit Date ($50,000) to the
     value of the Eligible Variable Account on the Living Benefit Date. In this
     example, if the value of the Eligible Variable Account is less than $50,000
     (the current value of the Eligible Premium Payment) on the Living Benefit
     Date, IL Annuity will automatically credit the difference to Contract
     Value.
    
 
          Example #2:
 
   
          Assume the same facts as in Example #1, except that the Owner
     specifies an Annuity Start Date of the sixth Contract Anniversary and
     begins to receive payments under one of the payout options available under
     the Contract. On the Living Benefit Date, IL Annuity will not calculate the
     Living Benefit and will not credit a Living Benefit to Contract Value. By
     selecting an Annuity Start Date (the 6th Contract Anniversary) that is
     earlier than the Living Benefit Date (10 years from the Date of Issue), the
     Owner forfeited all eligibility for the Living Benefit.
    
 
          Example #3:
 
   
          Assume the same facts as in Example #1, except that the Owner
     transfers $40,000 from the Eligible Variable Account in the eighth Contract
     Year. At that time, the total value of the Eligible Variable Account is
     $100,000. The transfer of $40,000 reduced the value of the Eligible
     Variable Account by 40% ($40,000/$100,000 = .40). No additional transfers
     or withdrawals are made prior to the Living Benefit Date. On the Living
     Benefit Date, the initial value of the Eligible Premium Payment ($50,000)
     is reduced by 40% to take into account the transfer in the eighth Contract
     Year ($50,000 X .40 = $20,000), leaving $30,000 ($50,000 -- $20,000 =
     $30,000). If on the Living Benefit Date the value of the Eligible Variable
     Account is less than $30,000, IL Annuity will automatically credit the
     difference to Contract Value.
    
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   104
 
          Example #4:
 
   
          Assume the same facts as in Example #1, except that in the fourth
     Contract Year the Owner deposits (or transfers) an additional $50,000
     Premium Payment into the Eligible Variable Account. In the eighth Contract
     Year when the value of the Eligible Variable Account is $150,000, the Owner
     withdraws $40,000. The withdrawal reduced the value of the Eligible
     Variable Account by 26.667% ($40,000/$150,000 = .26667). No additional
     transfers or withdrawals are made before the Living Benefit Date. On the
     Living Benefit Date, the initial value of the Eligible Premium Payment is
     $50,000. (The second Premium Payment of $50,000 does not qualify as an
     Eligible Premium Payment because it was made after the Date of Issue.) This
     Eligible Premium Payment is then reduced by 26.667% to take into account
     the transfer in the eighth Contract Year ($50,000 X .26667 = $13,333.33),
     leaving $36,666.67 ($50,000 -- $13,333.33 = $36,666.67). If on the Living
     Benefit Date the value of the Eligible Variable Account is less than
     $36,666.67, IL Annuity will automatically credit the difference to Contract
     Value.
    
 
   
          Example #5:
    
 
   
          Spousal Joint Owners: If the Contract is owned by Joint Owners who are
     spouses at the time one of the Joint Owners dies, the surviving spouse may
     continue the Contract. The Living Benefit Date will remain unchanged as 10
     years from the Date of Issue. On that date, IL Annuity will calculate the
     Living Benefit for each Eligible Variable Account with value.
    
 
   
          Example #6:
    
 
   
          If the Contract is owned by Joint Owners who are not spouses and one
     of the Joint Owners dies, the Living Benefit will be calculated on the
     original Living Benefit Date, provided the survivor has not received any
     distributions as a result of the Owner's death. (See "Death Benefits.")
    
 
   
     We will continue to pay a Living Benefit on an Eligible Premium Payment
allocated to an Eligible Variable Account if: (a) the Portfolio underlying an
Eligible Variable Account changes its investment objective; (b) we determine
that an investment in the Portfolio underlying an Eligible Variable Account is
no longer appropriate in light of the purposes of the Separate Account; or (c)
shares of a Portfolio underlying an Eligible Variable Account are no longer
available for investment by the Separate Account and IL Annuity is forced to
redeem all shares of the Portfolio held by the Eligible Variable Account.
    
 
                               THE FIXED ACCOUNT
 
     You may allocate some or all of your Net Premium Payments and transfer some
or all of your Contract Value to the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account offers a
guarantee of principal (after deductions for fees and expenses) as well as
interest guaranteed by IL Annuity to be not less than 3% per year. The Fixed
Account is part of our general account. Our general account supports our
insurance and annuity obligations. Since the Fixed Account is part of the
general account, we assume the risk of investment gain or loss on this amount.
All assets in the general account are subject to our general liabilities from
business operations. The Fixed Account may not be available in all states.
 
     The Fixed Account has not been, and is not required to be, registered with
the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, and neither the Fixed Account nor our
general account have been registered as an investment company under the 1940
Act. Therefore, neither our general account, the Fixed Account, nor any
interests therein are generally subject to regulation under the 1933 Act or the
1940 Act. The disclosures relating to the Fixed Account which are included in
this prospectus are for your information and have not been reviewed by the SEC.
However, such disclosures may be subject to certain generally applicable
provisions of federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness
of statements made in prospectuses.
 
FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE
 
     The Fixed Account Value is equal to: (1) Net Premium Payments allocated to
the Fixed Account, PLUS (2) amounts transferred to the Fixed Account, PLUS (3)
interest credited to the Fixed Account, MINUS (4) any
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   105
 
partial withdrawals or transfers from the Fixed Account, and MINUS (5) any
Withdrawal Charges, contract fees or premium taxes deducted from the Fixed
Account.
 
   
     We intend to credit the Fixed Account with interest at current rates in
excess of the minimum guaranteed rate of 3%, but we are not obligated to do so.
We have no specific formula for determining current interest rates. Some of the
factors that we may consider, in our sole discretion, in determining whether to
credit interest in excess of the 3% guaranteed rate are: general economic
trends, rates of return currently available and anticipated on the company's
investments, regulatory and tax requirements, and competitive factors. The Fixed
Account Value will not share in the investment performance of the company's
general account or any portion thereof. Because we, in our sole discretion,
anticipate changing the current interest rate from time to time, different
allocations you make to the Fixed Account will be credited with different
current interest rates.
    
 
     The interest rate we credit to amounts allocated or transferred to the
Fixed Account will apply to the end of the calendar year in which we receive the
amount. At the end of the calendar year, we will determine a new current
interest rate on such amount and accrued interest thereon (which may be a
different current interest rate from the current interest rate on new
allocations to the Fixed Account on that date). We will guarantee the rate of
interest we declare on such amount and accrued interest for the following
calendar year. We will determine, in our sole discretion, any interest to be
credited on amounts in the Fixed Account in excess of the minimum guaranteed
effective rate of 3% per year. You therefore assume the risk that interest
credited to amounts in the Fixed Account may not exceed the minimum 3%
guaranteed rate.
 
     For purposes of making withdrawals, transfers or deductions of fees and
charges from the Fixed Account, we will consider such withdrawals to have come
from the last money into the contract, that is, on a last-in, first-out ("LIFO")
basis.
 
     We reserve the right to change the method of crediting interest from time
to time, provided that such changes do not reduce the guaranteed rate of
interest below 3% per year or shorten the period for which the interest rate
applies to less than one calendar year (except for the year in which such amount
is received or transferred).
 
TRANSFER PRIVILEGES
 
     General.  Transfers to the Fixed Account must be at least $1,000. A
transfer charge of $25 may be imposed for the thirteenth and each subsequent
request you make to transfer Contract Value from one or more Variable Accounts
to the Fixed Account (or to one or more Variable Accounts) during a single
Contract Year before the Annuity Start Date.
 
     Before the Annuity Start Date, you may transfer up to 20% of the Fixed
Account Value (as determined at the beginning of the Contract Year) from the
Fixed Account to one or more of the Variable Accounts in any Contract Year. No
fee is charged for transfers from the Fixed Account to one or more Variable
Accounts and such a transfer is not considered a transfer for purposes of
assessing a transfer charge.
 
   
     Dollar-Cost Averaging.  You may elect to participate in the Dollar-Cost
Averaging Program at the time of your application, or at any time thereafter
before the Annuity Start Date by sending us a Written Request. The Dollar-Cost
Averaging Program permits you to systematically transfer (on a monthly or
quarterly basis) a set dollar amount from the Fixed Account or one or more
Variable Accounts to any other Variable Accounts. The minimum amount that may be
transferred under the Dollar-Cost Averaging Program is $100 to each Variable
Account. The maximum amount that may be transferred and withdrawn out of the
Fixed Account in any Contract Year under all circumstances (Dollar-Cost
Averaging, Systematic Withdrawals and Partial Withdrawals) is 20% of the Fixed
Account Value as determined at the beginning of the Contract Year. Once elected,
dollar-cost averaging from the Fixed Account remains in effect for the life of
the Contract until the value of the Fixed Account is depleted or until you
cancel your participation by Written Request or by telephone if we have your
telephone authorization on file. There is no additional charge for dollar-cost
averaging, and a transfer under this program is not considered a transfer for
purposes of assessing a transfer change. We reserve the right to discontinue
offering the dollar-cost averaging program at any time and for any reason. (See
"Transfer Privileges -- Dollar Cost Averaging.")

PAYMENT DEFERRAL
 
     We have the right to defer payment of any full or partial withdrawal or
transfer from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date we receive

         HOW TO REVIEW INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS
 
     From time to time, we may advertise or include in sales literature yields,
effective yields and total returns for the Variable Accounts. These figures are
based on historical earnings and do not indicate or project future performance.
We also may, from time to time, advertise or include in sales literature
Variable Account performance relative to certain performance rankings and
indices compiled by independent organizations. More detailed information as to
the calculation of performance, as well as comparisons with unmanaged market
indices, appears in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
   
     Performance data for the Variable Accounts is based on the investment
performance of the corresponding Portfolio of a Fund and reflects its expenses.
(See the accompanying prospectuses for the Funds.)
    
 
     The "yield" of the Money Market Variable Account refers to the annualized
income generated by an investment in the Variable Account over a specified
seven-day period. The yield is calculated by assuming that the income generated
for that seven-day period is generated each seven-day period over a 52-week
period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is
calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in
the Variable Account is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield will be
slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of this assumed
reinvestment.
 
     The yield of a Variable Account (other than the Money Market Variable
Account) refers to the annualized income generated by an investment in the
Variable Account over a specified 30-day or one-month period. The yield is
calculated by assuming that the income generated by the investment during that
30-day or one-month period is generated each period over a 12-month period and
is shown as a percentage of the investment.
 
     Yield quotations do not reflect the Withdrawal Charge.
 
   
     The "total return" of a Variable Account refers to return quotations
assuming an investment under a Contract has been held in the Variable Account
for various periods of time. When a Variable Account or Portfolio has been in
operation for one, five, and ten years, respectively, the total return for these
periods will be provided.
    
 
     The average annual total return quotations represent the average annual
compounded rates of return that would equate an initial investment of $1,000
under a Contract to the redemption value of that investment as of the last day
of each of the periods for which total return quotations are provided. Average
annual total return information shows the average annual percentage change in
the value of an investment in the Variable Account from the beginning date of
the measuring period to the end of that period. This standardized version of
average annual total return reflects all historical investment results, less all
charges and deductions applied against the Variable Account (including any
Withdrawal Charge that would apply if you terminated the Contract at the end of
each period indicated, but excluding any deductions for premium taxes).
 
     In addition to the standard version described above, total return
performance information computed on different non-standard bases may be used in
advertisements or sales literature. Average annual total return information may
be presented, computed on the same basis as described above, except deductions
will not include the Withdrawal Charge. In addition, we may from time to time
disclose average annual total return in non-standard formats and cumulative
total return for Contracts funded by the Variable Accounts.
 
   
     We may also disclose yield, standard total returns, and non-standard total
returns for the Portfolios, including such disclosures for periods before the
date the Variable Account commenced operations. Sales
    
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   107
 
   
literature or advertisements may quote adjusted yields and total returns for the
Portfolios since their inception reduced by some or all of the fees and charges
under the Contract. Such adjusted historic Portfolio performance may include
data that precedes the inception dates of the Variable Accounts. This data is
designed to show the performance that could have resulted if the Contract had
been in existence during that time.
    
 
     Non-standard performance data will only be disclosed if the standard
performance data for the required periods is also disclosed. For additional
information regarding the calculation of other performance data, please refer to
the Statement of Additional Information.
 
     In advertising and sales literature (including illustrations), the
performance of each Variable Account may be compared with the performance of
other variable annuity issuers in general or to the performance of particular
types of variable annuities investing in mutual funds, or investment portfolios
of mutual funds with investment objectives similar to the Variable Account.
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), CDA Investment Technologies
("CDA"), Variable Annuity Research Data Service ("VARDS") and Morningstar, Inc.
("Morningstar") are independent services which monitor and rank the performance
of variable annuity issuers in each of the major categories of investment
objectives on an industry-wide basis.
 
     Lipper's and Morningstar's rankings include variable life insurance issuers
as well as variable annuity issuers. VARDS rankings compare only variable
annuity issuers. The performance analyses prepared by Lipper, CDA, VARDS and
Morningstar rank or illustrate such issuers on the basis of total return,
assuming reinvestment of distributions, but do not take sales charges,
redemption fees, or certain expense deductions at the separate account level
into consideration. In addition, VARDS prepares risk rankings, which consider
the effects of market risk on total return performance. This type of ranking
provides data as to which funds provide the highest total return within various
categories of funds defined by the degree of risk inherent in their investment
objectives.
 
     Advertising and sales literature may also compare the performance of each
Variable Account to the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 Common Stocks, a widely
used measure of stock performance. This unmanaged index assumes the reinvestment
of dividends but does not reflect any "deduction" for the expense of operating
or managing an investment portfolio. Other independent ranking services and
indices may also be used as a source of performance comparison.
 
     We may also report other information including the effect of systematic
withdrawals, systematic investments and tax-deferred compounding on a Variable
Account's investment returns, or returns in general, which may be illustrated by
tables, graphs, or charts. All income and capital gains derived from Variable
Account investments are reinvested and can lead to substantial long-term
accumulation of assets, provided that the Variable Account investment experience
is positive.

                                 VOTING RIGHTS
 
     We are the legal owner of the Portfolio shares held in the Variable
Accounts. However, when a Portfolio is required to solicit the votes of its
shareholders through the use of proxies, we believe that current law requires us
to solicit you and other Contract Owners as to how we should vote the Portfolio
shares held in the Variable Accounts. If we determine that we no longer are
required to solicit your votes, we may vote the shares in our own right.
 
     When we solicit your vote, the number of votes you have will be calculated
separately for each Variable Account in which you have an investment. The number
of your votes is based on the net asset value per share of the Portfolio in
which the Variable Account invests. It may include fractional shares. Before the
Annuity Start Date, you hold a voting interest in each Variable Account to which
the Contract Value is allocated. After the Annuity Start Date, the Annuitant has
a voting interest in each Variable Account from which variable annuity payments
are made. If you have a voting interest in a Variable Account, you will receive
proxy materials and reports relating to any meeting of shareholders of the
Portfolio in which that Variable Account invests.
 
     If we do not receive timely voting instructions for Portfolio shares or if
we own the shares, we will vote those shares in proportion to the voting
instructions we receive. Instructions we receive to abstain on any item will
reduce the total number of votes being cast on a matter. For further details as
to how we determine the number of your votes, see the Statement of Additional
Information.
 
                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
 
                    THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND
                         IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE
 
INTRODUCTION
 
     This discussion is not intended to address the tax consequences resulting
from all of the situations in which a person may be entitled to or may receive a
distribution under the annuity contract issued by us. Any person concerned about
these tax implications should consult a competent tax advisor before initiating
any transaction. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present
federal income tax laws, as they are currently interpreted by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"). No representation is made as to the likelihood of the
continuation of the present federal income tax laws or of the current
interpretation by the IRS. Moreover, no attempt has been made to consider any
applicable state or other tax laws.
 
   
     The Contract may be purchased on a non-qualified basis or purchased and
used in connection with plans qualifying for favorable tax treatment. The
Qualified Contract is designed for use by individuals whose Premium Payments are
comprised solely of proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans
which are intended to qualify as plans entitled to special income tax treatment
under Sections 401(a), 403(b), 408 or 408A of the Code. The ultimate effect of
federal income taxes on the amounts held under a Contract, or annuity payments,
and on the economic benefit to you, the Annuitant, or the beneficiary depends on
the type of retirement plan, on the tax and employment status of the individual
concerned, and on our tax status. In addition, certain requirements must be
satisfied in purchasing a Qualified Contract with proceeds from a tax-qualified
plan and receiving distributions from a Qualified Contract in order to continue
receiving favorable tax treatment. Some retirement plans are subject to
distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into our Contract
administration procedures. Owners, participants and beneficiaries are
responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other
transactions with respect to the Contracts comply with applicable law.
Therefore, purchasers of Qualified Contracts should seek competent legal and tax
advice regarding the suitability of a Contract for their situation, the
applicable requirements, and the tax treatment of the rights and benefits of a
Contract. The following discussion assumes that Qualified Contracts are
purchased with proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans that
qualify for the intended special federal income tax treatment.
    
 
                                       41
<PAGE>   109
 
TAX STATUS OF THE CONTRACT
 
     Diversification Requirements.  Section 817(h) of the Code provides that
separate account investments underlying a contract must be "adequately
diversified" in accordance with Treasury regulations in order for the contract
to qualify as an annuity contract under Section 72 of the Code. The Separate
Account, through each underlying Fund, intends to comply with the
diversification requirements prescribed in regulations under Section 817(h) of
the Code, which affect how the assets in the various Variable Accounts may be
invested. Although we do not have direct control over the Funds in which the
Separate Account invests, we believe that each Fund in which the Separate
Account owns shares will meet the diversification requirements, and therefore,
the Contract will be treated as an annuity contract under the Code.
 
   
     Owner Control.  In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity
contracts may be considered the owners, for federal income tax purposes, of the
assets of the separate account used to support their contracts. In those
circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be
includible in the variable annuity contract owner's gross income. The IRS has
stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be considered
the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses incidents
of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control
over the assets. The Treasury Department has also announced, in connection with
the issuance of regulations concerning investment diversification, that those
regulations "do not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which
investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the
investor (i.e., the Contract Owner), rather than the insurance company, to be
treated as the owner of the assets in the account." This announcement also
states that guidance would be issued by way of regulations or rulings on the
"extent to which policyholders may direct their investments to particular
variable accounts without being treated as owners of the underlying assets."
    
 
     The ownership rights under the Contracts are similar to, but different in
certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was
determined that contract owners were not owners of separate account assets. For
example, the Owner of a Contract has the choice of one or more Variable Accounts
in which to allocate Net Premium Payments and Contract Values, and may be able
to transfer among Variable Accounts more frequently than in such rulings. These
differences could result in an Owner being treated as the Owner of a pro rata
share of the assets of the Separate Account. In addition, we do not know what
standards will be set forth, if any, in the regulations or rulings which the
Treasury Department has stated it expects to issue. We, therefore, reserve the
right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being
considered the Owner of any portion of the assets of the Separate Account.
 
   
     Required Distributions.  In order to be treated as an annuity contract for
federal income tax purposes, Section 72(s) of the Code requires any
Non-Qualified Contract to provide that: (a) if any Owner dies on or after the
Annuity Start Date but before the entire interest in the Contract has been
distributed, the remaining portion of such interest will be distributed at least
as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of that
Owner's death; and (b) if any Owner dies before the Annuity Start Date, the
entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within five years after the
date of your death. These requirements will be considered satisfied as to any
portion of the Owner's interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a
"designated beneficiary" and which is distributed over the life of such
Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that
beneficiary, provided that such distributions begin within one year of that
Owner's death. The Owner's "designated beneficiary" is the person to whom
ownership of the Contract passes by reason of death. However, if a "designated
beneficiary" is the surviving spouse of a deceased Owner, the Contract may be
continued with the surviving spouse as the new Owner.
    
 
     The Non-Qualified Contracts contain provisions which are intended to comply
with the requirements of Section 72(s) of the Code, although no regulations
interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. We intend to review such
provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the
requirements of Code Section 72(s) when clarified by regulation or otherwise.
 
     Other rules may apply to Qualified Contracts.
 
                                       42
<PAGE>   110
 
     The following discussion assumes that the Contracts will qualify as annuity
contracts for federal income tax purposes.
 
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES
 
     In General.  Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities in
general. We believe that if you are a natural person you are not taxed on
increases in the value of a Contract until distribution occurs by withdrawing
all or part of the Contract Value (e.g., partial and full withdrawals) or as
annuity payments under the payment option elected. For this purpose, the
assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the Contract
Value (and in the case of a Qualified Contract, any portion of an interest in
the qualified plan) generally will be treated as a distribution. The taxable
portion of a distribution (in the form of a single sum payment or payment
option) is taxable as ordinary income.
 
     The Owner of any annuity contract who is not a natural person generally
must include in income any increase in the excess of the Contract Value over the
"investment in the contract" during the taxable year. There are some exceptions
to this rule, and a prospective Owner that is not a natural person may wish to
discuss these with a competent tax advisor.
 
     The following discussion generally applies to Contracts owned by natural
persons.
 
     Withdrawals  In the case of a partial withdrawal from a Qualified Contract,
under Section 72(e) of the Code, a ratable portion of the amount received is
taxable, generally based on the ratio of the "investment in the contract" to the
participant's total accrued benefit or balance under the retirement plan. The
"investment in the contract" generally equals the portion, if any, of any
Premium Payment paid by or on behalf of the individual under a Contract which
was not excluded from the individual's gross income. For Contracts issued in
connection with qualified plans, the "investment in the contract" can be zero.
Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions from Qualified
Contracts.
 
     In the case of a partial withdrawal from a Non-Qualified Contract, under
Section 72(e), any amounts received are generally first treated as taxable
income to the extent that the Contract Value immediately before the partial
withdrawal exceeds the "investment in the contract" at that time. Any additional
amount withdrawn is not taxable.
 
     In the case of a full withdrawal under a Qualified or Non-Qualified
Contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the extent it
exceeds the "investment in the contract."
 
     Section 1035 of the Code generally provides that no gain or loss shall be
recognized on the exchange of one annuity contract for another. If the
surrendered contract was issued before August 14, 1982, the tax rules formerly
providing that the withdrawal was taxable only to the extent the amount received
exceeds your investment in the contract will continue to apply to amounts
allocable to investments in that contract before August 14, 1982. In contrast,
contracts issued after January 19, 1985 in a Code Section 1035 exchange are
treated as new contracts for purposes of the penalty and distribution-at-death
rules. Special rules and procedures apply to Section 1035 transactions. Persons
who may wish to take advantage of Section 1035 should consult their tax adviser.
 
     Annuity Payments.  Although tax consequences may vary depending on the
payment option elected under an annuity contract, under Code Section 72(b),
generally (prior to recovery of the investment in the contract) gross income
does not include that part of any amount received as an annuity under an annuity
contract that bears the same ratio to such amount as the investment in the
contract bears to the expected return at the annuity starting date. For variable
annuity payments, the taxable portion is generally determined by an equation
that establishes a specific dollar amount of each payment that is not taxed. The
dollar amount is determined by dividing the "investment in the contract" by the
total number of expected periodic payments. However, the entire distribution
will be taxable once the recipient has recovered the dollar amount of his or her
"investment in the contract." For fixed annuity payments, in general, there is
no tax on the portion of each payment which represents the same ratio that the
"investment in the contract" bears to the total expected value of the annuity
payments for the term of the payments; however, the remainder of each annuity
payment is taxable until the recovery of the investment in the contract, and
thereafter the full amount of each annuity

                                       43
<PAGE>   111
 
payment is taxable. If death occurs before full recovery of the investment in
the contract, the unrecovered amount may be deducted on the Annuitant's final
tax return.
 
     Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds.  Amounts may be distributed from a
Contract because of the death of an Owner or the Annuitant. Generally, such
amounts are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if
distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a full
withdrawal from the contract or (ii) if distributed under a payment option, they
are taxed in the same way as annuity payments.
 
     Other rules relating to distributions at death apply to Qualified
Contracts. You should consult your legal counsel and tax adviser regarding these
rules and their impact on Qualified Contracts.
 
     Penalty Tax on Certain Withdrawals.  In the case of a distribution from a
Non-Qualified Contract, there may be imposed a federal penalty tax equal to 10%
of the amount treated as taxable income. In general, however, there is no
penalty on distributions:
 
        1. made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2;
 
        2. made on or after the death of the owner (or if the owner is not an
           individual, the death of the primary Annuitant);
 
        3. attributable to the taxpayer's becoming disabled;
 
        4. a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less
           frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the
           taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
           taxpayer and his or her designated beneficiary;
 
        5. made under certain annuities issued in connection with structured
           settlement agreements; or
 
        6. made under an annuity contract that is purchased with a single
           Premium Payment when the Annuity Start Date is no later than a year
           from purchase of the annuity and substantially equal periodic
           payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the
           annuity payment period.
 
     Other tax penalties may apply to certain distributions under a Qualified
Contract.
 
   
     Possible Changes in Taxation.  Although the likelihood of legislative
change is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of
the Contracts could change by legislation or other means. For instance, the
President's 1999 Budget Proposal recommended legislation that, if enacted, would
adversely modify the federal taxation of the Contracts. It is also possible that
any change could be retroactive (that is, effective prior to the date of the
change). A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to legislative
developments and their effect on the Contract.
    
 
TRANSFERS, ASSIGNMENTS OR EXCHANGES OF A CONTRACT
 
   
     A transfer of Ownership of a Contract, the designation of an Annuitant,
Payee or other Beneficiary who is not also the Owner, the selection of certain
Annuity Start Dates or the exchange of a Contract may result in certain tax
consequences to you that are not discussed herein. An Owner contemplating any
such transfer, designation, selection, assignment, or exchange of a Contract
should contact a competent tax advisor with respect to the potential tax effects
of such a transaction.
    
 
WITHHOLDING
 
   
     Distributions from Contracts generally are subject to withholding for the
Owner's federal income tax liability. The withholding rate varies according to
the type of distribution and the Owner's tax status. The Owner will be provided
the opportunity to elect not to have tax withheld from distributions. "Eligible
rollover distributions" from section 401(a) plans and section 403(b)
tax-sheltered annuities are subject to a mandatory federal income tax
withholding of 20%. An eligible rollover distribution is the taxable portion of
any distribution from such a plan, except certain distributions such as
distributions required by the Code or distributions in a specified annuity form.
The 20% withholding does not apply, however, if the Owner chooses a
    
 
                                       44
<PAGE>   112
 
   
"direct rollover" from the plan to another tax-qualified plan or IRA. Certain
states also require withholding of state income tax whenever federal income tax
is withheld.
    
 
MULTIPLE CONTRACTS
 
   
     All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts entered into after October 21,
1988 that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to you during any calendar year
are treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the amount
includible in gross income under Section 72(e). In addition, the Treasury
Department has specific authority to issue regulations that prevent the
avoidance of Section 72(e) through the serial purchase of annuity contracts or
otherwise. There may also be other situations in which the Treasury may conclude
that it would be appropriate to aggregate two or more annuity contracts
purchased by the same Owner. Accordingly, a Contract Owner should consult a
competent tax advisor before purchasing more than one annuity contract.
    
 
TAXATION OF QUALIFIED PLANS
 
   
     The Contracts are designed for use with several types of qualified plans.
The tax rules applicable to participants in these qualified plans vary according
to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. Special
favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of contributions and
distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result from contributions in excess
of specified limits; distributions prior to age 59 1/2 (subject to certain
exceptions); distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and
minimum distribution rules; and in other specified circumstances. Therefore, no
attempt is made to provide more than general information about the use of the
Contracts with the various types of qualified retirement plans. Contract Owners,
the Annuitants, and Beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to
any benefits under these qualified retirement plans may be subject to the terms
and conditions of the plans themselves, regardless of the terms and conditions
of the Contract, but we shall not be bound by the terms and conditions of such
plans to the extent such terms contradict the Contract, unless the Company
consents. Brief descriptions follow of the various types of qualified retirement
plans in connection with a Contract. We will amend the Contract as necessary to
conform it to the requirements of such plan.
    
 
     Corporate Pension and Profit Sharing Plans and H.R. 10 Plans.  Section
401(a) of the Code permits corporate employers to establish various types of
retirement plans for employees, and permits self-employed individuals to
establish these plans for themselves and their employees. These retirement plans
may permit the purchase of the Contracts to accumulate retirement savings under
the plans. Adverse tax or other legal consequences to the plan, to the
participant or to both may result if this Contract is assigned or transferred to
any individual as a means to provide benefit payments, unless the plan complies
with all legal requirements applicable to such benefits prior to transfer of the
Contract. Employers intending to use the Contract with such plans should seek
competent advice.
 
   
     Individual Retirement Annuities.  Section 408 of the Code permits eligible
individuals and their employers to contribute to an individual retirement
program known as an "Individual Retirement Annuity" or "IRA". IRA contributions
are limited each year to the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of the Owner's adjusted
gross income. IRA contributions may be deductible in whole or in part depending
on the individual's income and whether the individual is a participant in a
qualified plan. Distributions from certain other types of qualified plans,
however, may be "rolled over" on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA without regard
to this limit. Earnings in an IRA are not taxed while held in the IRA. All
amounts in the IRA (other than nondeductible contributions) are taxed when
distributed. Distributions prior to age 59 1/2 (unless certain exceptions apply)
are also subject to a 10% penalty tax. Sales of the Contract for use with IRAs
may be subject to special disclosure requirements of the Internal Revenue
Service. Employers may establish Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plans to
provide IRA contributions on behalf of their employees. The Internal Revenue
Service has not reviewed the Contract for qualification as an IRA, and has not
generally ruled whether a death benefit provision such as the provision in the
Contract comports with IRA qualification requirements.
    
 
   
     Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs. Employers may establish Simplified
Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs under Code section 408(k) to provide IRA
contributions on behalf of their employees. In
    
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   113
 
   
addition to all of the general Code rules governing IRAs, such plans are subject
to certain Code requirements regarding participation and amounts of
contributions.
    
 
   
     Simple Retirement Accounts.  Beginning January 1, 1997, certain small
employers may establish Simple Retirement Accounts as provided by Section 408(p)
of the Code, under which employees may elect to defer up to $6,000 (as increased
for cost of living adjustments) as a percentage of compensation. The sponsoring
employer is required to make a matching or non-elective contribution on behalf
of employees. Distributions from a Simple Retirement Account are subject to the
same restrictions that apply to IRA distributions and are taxed as ordinary
income. Subject to certain exceptions, premature distributions prior to age
59 1/2 are subject to a 10% penalty tax, which is increased to 25% if the
distribution occurs within the first two years after the commencement of the
employee's participation in the plan.
    
 
   
     Roth IRAs. Effective January 1, 1998, section 408A of the Code permits
certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Contributions to a
Roth IRA, which are subject to certain limitations, are not deductible and must
be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA.
A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax and
other special rules may apply. You should consult a tax adviser before combining
any converted amounts with any other Roth IRA contributions, including any other
conversion amounts from other tax years. Distributions from a Roth IRA generally
are not taxed, except that, once aggregate distributions exceed contributions to
the Roth IRA, income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made
(1) before age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during the five
taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to
the Roth IRA.
    
 
   
     Tax Sheltered Annuities.  Section 403(b) of the Code allows employees of
certain Section 501(c)(3) organizations and public schools to exclude from their
gross income the Premium Payments paid, within certain limits, on a Contract
that will provide an annuity for the employee's retirement. These Premium
Payments may be subject to FICA (Social Security) tax.
    
 
RESTRICTIONS UNDER QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
 
     Other restrictions with respect to the election, commencement, or
distribution of benefits may apply under Qualified Contracts or under the terms
of the plans in respect of which Qualified Contracts are issued.
 
POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR THE COMPANY'S TAXES
 
     At the present time, we make no charge to the Variable Accounts for any
Federal, state, or local taxes that we incur which may be attributable to such
Variable Accounts or the Contracts. We, however, reserve the right in the future
to make a charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the
application of the tax laws that it determines to be properly attributable to
the Variable Accounts or to the Contracts.
 
OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
     As noted above, the foregoing comments about the Federal tax consequences
under these Contracts are not exhaustive, and special rules are provided with
respect to other tax situations not discussed in this prospectus. Further, the
Federal income tax consequences discussed herein reflect our understanding of
current law, and the law may change. Federal estate and state and local estate,
inheritance and other tax consequences of Ownership or receipt of distributions
under a Contract depend on the individual circumstances of each Owner or
recipient of the distribution. A competent tax advisor should be consulted for
further information.

PAYMENTS
 
     We will usually pay you any full or partial withdrawal, Death Benefit
payment, (or for Qualified Contracts only, payment of your loan proceeds) within
seven days after we receive your Written Request, any information or
documentation we reasonably need to process your request, and in the case of a
Death Benefit receipt and filing of due proof of death.
 
     However, we may be required to suspend or postpone payments during any
period when:
 
        1. the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend
           and holiday closings;
 
        2. trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by
           the SEC;
 
        3. the SEC determines that an emergency exists that would make the
           disposal of securities held in the Separate Account or the
           determination of the value of the Separate Account's net assets not
           reasonably practicable; or
 
        4. the SEC permits, by order, the suspension or postpone of payments for
           your protection.
 
     If a recent check or draft has been submitted, we have the right to delay
payment until we have assured ourselves that the check or draft has been
honored.
 
     We have the right to defer payment for a full or partial withdrawal or
transfer from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date we receive
your Written Request. If we do not make a payment within 30 days after we
receive the documentation we need to complete the transaction (or a shorter
period if required by a particular jurisdiction), we will credit interest to the
amount to be paid from the date we received the necessary documentation at a
rate of 3% (or such higher rate required for a particular jurisdiction).
 
MODIFICATION
 
     Upon notice to you, we may modify the Contract to:
 
        1. permit the Contract or the Separate Account to comply with any
           applicable law or regulation issued by a government agency; or
 
        2. assure continued qualification of the Contract under the Code or
           other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities or
           variable annuity contracts; or
 
        3. reflect a change in the operation of the Separate Account; or
 
        4. provide additional investment options.
 
     In the event of most such modifications, we will make appropriate
endorsement to the Contract.
 
DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS
 
     IL Securities, Inc. ("IL Securities"), P.O. Box 1230, 2960 North Meridian
Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46208, acts as the distributor for the Contracts.
IL Securities is an affiliate of Indianapolis Life Insurance Company.
 
   
     Sales commissions will be paid to broker-dealers who sell the Contracts.
Broker-dealers will be paid commissions of up to 7.2% of Premium Payments. Other
commissions of up to 1.25% may also be paid. We may also pay up to 1.25% of
Premium Payments to IL Securities to compensate it for certain distribution
expenses. These broker-dealers are expected to compensate sales representatives
in varying amounts from these commissions. In addition, we may pay other
distribution expenses such as production incentive bonuses, agent's insurance
and pension benefits, and agency expense allowances. These distribution expenses
do not result in any additional charges against the Contracts other than those
described under "Fees and Charges."

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
   
     The Company and its affiliates, like other life insurance companies, are
involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. In some class action and
other lawsuits involving other insurers, substantial damages have been sought
and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any
litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that at the
present time there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are reasonably
likely to have a material adverse impact on the Variable Account or the Company.
    
 
REPORTS TO OWNERS
 
     We will mail a report to you at least annually at your last known address
of record. The report will state the Contract Value (including the Contract
Value in each Variable Account and the Fixed Account) of the Contract, Premium
Payments paid and charges deducted since the last report, partial withdrawals
made since the last report and any further information required by any
applicable law or regulation.
 
INQUIRIES
 
     Inquiries regarding your Contract may be made by writing to us at our
Service Center.
 
   
YEAR 2000 MATTERS
    
 
   
     Like all financial services providers, the Company utilizes systems that
may be affected by Year 2000 transition issues. The Company also relies on
service providers, including the Portfolios and the administrator, that may be
affected by Year 2000 issues. The Company has developed, and is in the process
of implementing, a Year 2000 transition plan. In addition, the Company is in the
process of confirming that the Portfolios and its service providers are also
engaged in similar transition plans. The resources that are being devoted to
this effort are substantial. It is difficult to predict with precision whether
the amount of resources ultimately devoted, or the outcome of these efforts,
will have any negative impact on the Company's operations. However, as of the
date of this Prospectus, it is not anticipated that owners will experience
negative effects on their investment, or on the services provided in connection
therewith, as a result of Year 2000 transition implementation. The Company
currently anticipates that its systems will be Year 2000 compliant in a timely
manner, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful, or
that interaction with other service providers will not impair services at that
time.
    
 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     IL Annuity and Insurance Company, formerly known as Sentry Investors Life
Insurance Company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Indianapolis Life
Group of Companies, Inc. on November 1, 1994. Immediately prior thereto, we
entered into an assumption reinsurance agreement with Sentry Life Insurance
Company ("Sentry") whereby Sentry assumed all of the insurance in-force and
related assets and liabilities from us. The effect of the reinsurance agreement
was to transfer all of the insurance related assets and liabilities to Sentry,
leaving only bonds, cash and state insurance department licenses to be acquired
by the Indianapolis Life Group of Companies, Inc. No business was issued by us
through December 31, 1994.
 
   
     The audited statement of net assets of IL Annuity and Insurance Co.
Separate Account 1 as of December 31, 1997 and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended and statements of changes in net assets for
the two years then ended, as well as the Report of the Independent Auditors, are
included in the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"). The audited balance
sheets for the Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
statements of income, shareholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1997, as well as the Report of the
Independent Auditors, are contained in the SAI. The financial statements of the
Company should be considered only as bearing on our ability to meet our
obligations under the Contracts. They should not be considered as bearing on the
investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

                         ADDITIONAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS

THE CONTRACT

         The entire contract is the Contract, the signed application, the data
page, the endorsements, options and all other attached papers.  The statements
made in the application are deemed representations and not warranties.  The
Company will not use any statement in defense of a claim or to void the
Contract unless it is contained in the application.

         Any change in the Contract or waiver of its provisions must be in
writing and signed by the Company's President, a Vice President, Secretary or
Assistant Secretary.  No other person --no agent or Registered Representative
- -- has authority to change or waive any provision of this Contract.

         Upon notice to the Contract Owner, the Company may modify the Contract
if necessary to permit the Contract or the Separate Account to comply with any
applicable law or regulation issued by a governmental agency; or if necessary
to assure continued qualification of the contract under the Internal Revenue
Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities or
variable annuity contracts; or if necessary to effect a change in the operation
of the Separate Account or to provide additional investment options.

         In the event of such modifications, the Company will make the
appropriate endorsement to the Contract.

INCONTESTABILITY

         The Company will not contest the Contract from the Date of Issue.

   
INCORRECT AGE OR SEX
    

   
         The Company may require proof of age, sex, and right to payments
before making any life annuity payments.  If the age or sex (if applicable) of
the annuitant has been stated incorrectly, the Annuity Start Date and the
amount of the annuity payments will be determined using the correct age and
sex.  If misstatement of age or sex results in annuity payments that are too
large, the overpayments will be charged with compound interest against
subsequent payments.  If the Company has made payments that are too small, the
underpayments will be paid with compound interest upon receipt of notice of the
underpayments.  Adjustments for overpayments or underpayments will be paid
interest at the rate then in use to determine the rate of payments.
    





                                     - 1 -

NONPARTICIPATION

 The Contract does not participate in the Company's surplus earnings or profits.

OPTIONS

         Except in the limited circumstances described below, the Company will
issue four options automatically upon the issuance of each Contract.  These
options provide for the waiver of the Withdrawal Charge in case of extended
hospitalization, long term care, terminal illness, or the post secondary
education of certain family members or the Annuitant, as provided in the
option.  There is no additional charge for the issuance of the options, which
are available only at the issuance of the Contract.  All options may not be
available in all states.


   
       CALCULATION OF VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND ADJUSTED HISTORIC PORTFOLIO
                               PERFORMANCE DATA
    

   
         The Company may advertise and disclose historic performance data for
the Variable Accounts, including yields, standard annual total returns, and
nonstandard measures of performance of the Variable Accounts.  Such performance
data will be computed, or accompanied by performance data computed, in
accordance with the standards defined by the SEC.
    

MONEY MARKET VARIABLE ACCOUNT YIELDS

   
         Advertisements and sales literature may quote the current annualized
yield of the Money Market Variable Account for a seven-day period in a manner
which does not take into consideration any realized or unrealized gains or
losses, or income other than investment income, on shares of the Money Market
Portfolio.
    

   
         This current annualized yield is computed by determining the net
change (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities,
unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and income other than investment
income) at the end of the seven-day period in the value of a hypothetical
Variable Account under a Contract having a balance of one unit of the Money
Market Variable Account at the beginning of the period, dividing such net
change in Variable Account value by the value of the hypothetical Variable
Account at the beginning of the period to determine the base period return, and
annualizing this quotient on a 365-day basis.  The net change in account value
reflects:  1) net income from the Portfolio attributable to the hypothetical
Variable Account; and 2) charges and deductions imposed under the Contract
which are attributable to the hypothetical Variable Account.  These charges and
deductions include the per unit charges for: 1) the annualized Contract Fee; 2)
the mortality and expense risk charge;
    





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   125
and 3) the asset-based administration charge.  For purposes of calculating
current yields for a Contract, an average per unit Contract Fee is used based
on the $30 annualized Contract Fee which is deducted in four equal payments at
the end of each Contract Quarter.  Current Yield is calculated according to the
following formula:

         Current Yield = ((NCS - ES)/UV) X (365/7)

         Where:

   
         NCS       =       the net change in the value of the Money Market
                           Portfolio (exclusive of realized gains or losses on
                           the sale of securities, unrealized appreciation and
                           depreciation, and income other than investment
                           income) for the seven-day period attributable to a
                           hypothetical Variable Account having a balance of
                           one Variable Account unit.
    

         ES        =       per unit expenses attributable to the hypothetical
                           Variable Account for the seven-day period.

         UV        =       the unit value for the first day of the seven-day
                           period.

   
         The Company may also disclose the effective yield of the Money Market
Variable Account for the same seven-day period, determined on a compounded
basis.  The effective yield is calculated by compounding the unanualized base
period return by adding one to the base return, raising the sum to a power
equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting one from the result.
    


                                              (365/7)
         Effective yield = (1 + ((NCS-ES)/UV))       - 1

         Where:

   
         NCS       =       the net change in the value of the Money Market
                           Portfolio (exclusive of realized gains or losses on
                           the sale of securities, unrealized appreciation and
                           depreciation, and income other than investment
                           income) for the seven-day period attributable to a
                           hypothetical Variable Account having a balance of
                           one Variable Account unit.
    

         ES        =       per unit expenses attributable to the hypothetical
                           Variable Account for the seven-day period.

         UV        =       the unit value for the first day of the seven-day
                           period.





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   126
         Because of the charges and deductions imposed under the Contract, the
yield for the Money Market Variable Account is lower than the yield for the
Money Market Portfolio.

         The current and effective yields on amounts held in the Money Market
Variable Account normally fluctuate on a daily basis.  THEREFORE, THE DISCLOSED
YIELD FOR ANY GIVEN PAST PERIOD IS NOT AN INDICATION OR REPRESENTATION OF
FUTURE YIELDS OR RATES OF RETURN.  The Money Market Variable Account's actual
yield is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities,
average portfolio maturity of the Money Market Portfolio, the types and quality
of securities held by the Money Market Portfolio and that Portfolio's operating
expenses.  Yields on amounts held in the Money Market Variable Account may also
be presented for periods other than a seven-day period.

         Yield calculations do not take into account the Withdrawal Charge that
is assessed on certain withdrawals of Contract Value.  The amount of the
Withdrawal Charge depends on the Withdrawal Charge Option and the Free
Withdrawal Option chosen by the Owner at the time of purchase.  See "Fees and
Charges" in the prospectus for further description of these options.  No
Withdrawal Charge applies to Contract Value in excess of aggregate Premium
Payments.

   
         Based on the method of calculation described above, for the seven-day
period ended December 31, 1997, the current yield and the effective yield for
the Money Market Variable Account were as follows:
    

   
                   Current yield:          4.15%
                   Effective yield:        4.23%
    

OTHER VARIABLE ACCOUNT YIELDS

         Sales literature or advertisements may quote the current annualized
yield of one or more of the Variable Accounts (except the Money Market Variable
Account) under the Contract for 30-day or one-month periods.  The annualized
yield of a Variable Account refers to income generated by the Variable Account
during a 30-day or one-month period and is assumed to be generated each period
over a 12-month period.

         The yield is computed by:  1) dividing the net investment income of
the Portfolio attributable to the Variable Account units less Variable Account
expenses for the period; by 2) the maximum offering price per unit on the last
day of the period times the daily average number of units outstanding for the
period; and 3) compounding that yield for a six-month period; and 4)
multiplying that result by 2.  Expenses attributable to the Variable Account
include the annualized Contract Fee, the asset-based administration charge and
the mortality and expense risk charge.  The yield calculation assumes a
Contract Fee of $30 per year per Contract deducted at the end of each Contract
Year.  For purposes of calculating the 30-day or one-month yield, an average
Contract Fee based on the average Contract Value in the Variable Account is
used to determine the amount of the charge attributable to the Variable Account
for the 30-day or





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   127
one-month period.  The 30-day or one-month yield is calculated according to the
following formula:

         Yield     =       2 X (((NI - ES)/(U X UV)) + 1)(6) - 1)

         Where:

         NI        =       net income of the Portfolio for the 30-day or
                           one-month period attributable to the Variable
                           Account's units.

         ES        =       expenses of the Variable Account for the 30-day or
                           one-month period.

         U         =       the average number of units outstanding.

         UV        =       the unit value at the close (highest) of the last
                           day in the 30-day or one-month period.

         Because of the charges and deductions imposed under the Contracts, the
yield for the Variable Account is lower than the yield for the corresponding
Portfolio.

         The yield on the amounts held in the Variable Accounts normally
fluctuates over time.  THEREFORE, THE DISCLOSED YIELD FOR ANY GIVEN PAST PERIOD
IS NOT AN INDICATION OR REPRESENTATION OF FUTURE YIELDS OR RATES OF RETURN.  A
Variable Account's actual yield is affected by the types and quality of
securities held by the corresponding Portfolio and that Portfolio's operating
expenses.

         Yield calculations do not take into account the Withdrawal Charge that
is assessed on certain withdrawals of Contract Value.  The amount of the
Withdrawal Charge depends on the Withdrawal Charge Option and the Free
Withdrawal Option chosen by the Owner at the time of purchase.  See "Fees and
Charges" in the prospectus for further description of these options.

   
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS FOR THE VARIABLE ACCOUNTS
    

   
         Sales literature or advertisements may quote average annual total
returns for one or more of the Variable Accounts for various periods of time.
If the Company advertises total return for the Money Market Variable Account,
such advertisements and sales literature will include the statement that yield
more closely reflects current earnings than total return.
    

   
         When a Variable Account has been in operation for 1, 5, and 10 years,
respectively, the average annual total return for these periods will be
provided.  Average annual total returns for other periods of time may, from
time to time, also be disclosed.
    





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   128
         Standard average annual total returns represent the average annual
compounded rates of return that would equate an initial investment of $1,000
under a Contract to the redemption value of that investment as of the last day
of each of the periods.  The ending date for each period for which total return
quotations are provided will be for the most recent calendar quarter-end
practicable, considering the type of the communication and the media through
which it is communicated.

         Standard average annual total returns are calculated using Variable
Account unit values which the Company calculates on each valuation day based on
the performance of the Variable Account's underlying Portfolio, the deductions
for the mortality and expense risk charge, the deductions for the asset-based
administration charge and the annualized Contract Fee.  The calculation assumes
that the Contract Fee is $7.50 per quarter per Contract deducted at the end of
each Contract quarter.  For purposes of calculating average annual total
return, an average per-dollar per-day Contract Fee attributable to the
hypothetical Variable Account for the period is used.  The calculation also
assumes total withdrawal of the Contract at the end of the period for the
return quotation and will take into account the Withdrawal Charge applicable to
the Contract that is assessed on certain withdrawals of Contract Value.

Standard total return is calculated according to the following formula:

         TR        =       ((ERV/P)(1/N)) - 1

         Where:

         TR        =       the average annual total return net of Variable
                           Account recurring charges.

         ERV       =       the ending redeemable value (net of any applicable
                           Withdrawal Charge) of the hypothetical Variable
                           Account at the end of the period.

         P         =       a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.

         N         =       the number of years in the period.

<PAGE>   129
   
NON-STANDARD VARIABLE ACCOUNT TOTAL RETURNS
    

   
         Sales literature or advertisements may quote average annual total
returns for the Variable Accounts that do not reflect any Withdrawal Charges.
Such non-standard total returns are calculated in exactly the same way as
average annual total returns described above, except that the ending redeemable
value of the hypothetical Variable Account for the period is replaced with an
ending value for the period that does not take into account any Withdrawal
Charges.
    

         The Company may disclose cumulative total returns in conjunction with
the standard formats described above.  The cumulative total returns will be
calculated using the following formula:

         CTR   =  (ERV/P) - 1
                  
         Where:   
                  
         CTR   =  The cumulative total return net of Variable Account recurring
                  charges for the period.

         ERV   =  The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical investment 
                  at the end of the period.

         P     =  A hypothetical single payment of $1,000.

   
ADJUSTED HISTORIC PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE DATA
    

   
         Sales literature or advertisements may quote adjusted yields and total
returns for the Portfolios since their inception reduced by some or all of the
fees and charges under the Contract. Such adjusted historic Portfolio
performance may include data that precedes the inception dates of the Variable
Accounts.  This data is designed to show the performance that would have
resulted if the Contract had been in existence during that time.
    

   
         Non-standard performance data will only be disclosed if the standard
performance data for the required periods is also disclosed.
    

EFFECT OF THE CONTRACT FEE ON PERFORMANCE DATA

         The Contract provides for a $7.50 Contract Fee to be deducted at the
end of each Contract Quarter from the Fixed and Variable Accounts based on the
proportion that the value of each





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   130
such Account bears to the total Contract Value.  For purposes of reflecting the
Contract Fee in yield and total return quotations, the Contract Fee is
converted into a per-dollar per-day charge based on the average Contract Value
in the Separate Account of all Contracts on the last day of the period for
which quotations are provided.  The per-dollar per-day average charge will then
be adjusted to reflect the basis upon which the particular quotation is
calculated.

         Non-standard average annual total returns for periods since the
inception of each Variable Account are as follows.  These figures include: (a)
the daily deduction of a mortality and expenses charge at an annual rate of
1.25%; and (b) the daily deduction of an administrative expenses charge at an
annual rate of 0.15%.  These figures do not reflect the quarterly deduction of
an administration charge and the contingent deferred sales load  which, if
deducted, would reduce performance.  Non-standard performance data will only be

    Non-standard cumulative total returns for each Variable Account for the
periods since the inception of each Variable Account are as follows. These
figures include: (a)  the daily deduction of a mortality and expenses charge at
an annual rate of 1.25%;  and (b) The daily deduction of the annual
administrative expenses charge at an annual rate of 0.15%.  These figures do

ADJUSTED HISTORICAL PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE FIGURES

         The charts below show "adjusted" historical performance data for the
Portfolios, including for periods prior to the inception of the Variable
Accounts, based on the performance of each Portfolio since its inception date,
with a level of charges equal to those currently assessed under the Contracts.
THESE FIGURES ARE NOT AN INDICATION OF THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF THE VARIABLE
ACCOUNTS.  Some of the figures reflect the waiver of advisory fees and
reimbursement of other expenses for part or all of the periods indicated.

   
         Adjusted historical standard average annual total returns for periods
since the inception of each Portfolio are as follows.  These figures include:
(a) the daily deduction of the mortality and expenses charges at an annual rate
of 1.25% (except that, prior to the inception of the corresponding Variable
Account, deductions are monthly); (b) the daily deduction of the annual
administrative expenses charge at an annual rate of 0.15% (except that, prior
to the inception of the corresponding Variable Account, deductions are
monthly); (c) the quarterly deduction of the administration charge of $7.50
adjusted for average account size; and (d) the deduction of the applicable
contingent deferred sales load for the

  Adjusted historical non-standard cumulative total returns for periods since
the inception of each Portfolio are as follows.  These figures include: (a) the
daily deduction of the mortality and expenses charges at an annual rate of
1.25% (except that, prior to the inception of the corresponding Variable
Account, deductions are monthly); and (b) the daily deduction of the
administrative expenses charge at an annual rate of 0.15% (except that, prior
to the inception of the corresponding Variable Account, deductions are
monthly).  These figures do not reflect the quarterly deduction of the
administration charge  and the applicable contingent deferred sales load
which, if deducted, would reduce performance.  Nonstandard performance data
will only be disclosed if standard performance data for the required periods is
also disclosed.

                             NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

    The Net Investment Factor is an index that measures the investment
performance of a Variable Account from one Business Day to the next.  Each
Variable Account has its own Net Investment Factor, which may be greater or
less than one.  The Net Investment Factor for each Variable Account equals 1
plus the fraction obtained by dividing (a) by (b) where:

    (a)      is the net result of:

             1.      the investment income, dividends, and capital gains,
                     realized or unrealized, credited at the end of the current
                     Business Day; PLUS

             2.      the amount credited or released from reserves for taxes
                     attributed to the operation of the Variable Account; MINUS





                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>   147
             3.      the capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged at the
                     end of the current Business Day, MINUS

             4.      any amount charged for taxes or any amount set aside
                     during the Business Day as a reserve for taxes
                     attributable to the operation or maintenance of the
                     Variable Account; MINUS

             5.      the amount charged for mortality and expense risk on that
                     Business Day; MINUS

             6.      the amount charged for administration on that Business
                     Day; and

    (b)      is the value of the assets in the Variable Account at the end of
             the preceding Business Day, adjusted for allocations and transfers
             to and withdrawals and transfers from the Variable Account
             occurring during that preceding Business Day.



                           VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS

    The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment is determined in
the same manner as that of a fixed annuity payment.  Therefore, for any
particular amount applied to a variable payout plan, the dollar amount of the
first variable annuity payment and the first fixed annuity payment (assuming
the fixed payment is based on the minimum guaranteed 3.0% interest rate) will
be the same.  Later variable annuity payments, however, will vary to reflect
the net investment performance of the Variable Account(s) selected by the Owner
or the Annuitant.

   
     Annuity units measure the net investment performance of a Variable Account
for purposes of determining the amount of variable annuity payments.   On the
Annuity Start Date, the adjusted Contract Value for each Variable Account is
used to purchase annuity units at the annuity unit value for that Variable
Account. The number of annuity units in each Variable Account then remains
fixed unless an exchange of annuity units is made as described below.  Each
Variable Account has a separate annuity unit value that changes each Business
Day in substantially the same way as does the value of an accumulation unit of
a Variable Account.
    

    The dollar value of each variable annuity payment after the first is
determined by multiplying the number of annuity units of a particular Variable
Account by the annuity unit value for that Variable Account on the Business Day
immediately preceding the date of each payment.  If the net investment return
of the Variable Account for a payment period is equal to the pro-rated portion
of the 3.0% annual assumed investment rate, the variable annuity payment for
that Variable Account for that period will equal the payment for the prior
period.  If the net investment return exceeds an annualized rate of 3.0% for a
payment period, the payment for that period will be greater than the payment
for the prior period.  Similarly, if the return for a period





                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>   148
falls short of an annualized rate of 3.0%, the payment for that period will be
less than the payment for the prior period.  The Owner may choose an assumed
interest rate of 3.0%, 4.0%, or 5.0% at the time a variable payout plan is
selected.

ASSUMED INVESTMENT RATE

    The discussion concerning the amount of variable annuity payments which
follows this section is based on an assumed investment rate of 3.0% per year.
Under the Contract, the Contract Owner may choose an assumed interest rate of
3.0%, 4.0% or 5.0% at the time a variable payout plan is selected.  The assumed
investment rate is used merely in order to determine the first monthly payment
per thousand dollars of applied value.  THIS RATE DOES NOT BEAR ANY
RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACTUAL NET INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT OR
ANY VARIABLE ACCOUNT.

AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS

   
    The amount of the first variable annuity payment to a payee will depend on
the amount (i.e., the adjusted Contract Value, the Surrender Value, the death
benefit) applied to effect the variable annuity payment as of the Annuity
Start Date, the annuity payout plan option selected, and the age and sex (if
applicable) of the annuitant.  The Contracts contain tables indicating the
dollar amount of the first annuity payment under each annuity payment option
for each $1,000 applied at various ages.  These tables are based upon the 1983
Table A (promulgated by the Society of Actuaries) and an assumed investment
rate of 3.0% per year.
    

    The portion of the first monthly variable annuity payment derived from a
Variable Account is divided by the annuity unit value for that Variable Account
(calculated as of the date of the first monthly payment).  The number of such
units will remain fixed during the annuity period, assuming the Annuitant makes
no exchanges of annuity units for annuity units of another Variable Account or
to provide a fixed annuity payment.

    In any subsequent month, for any Contract, the dollar amount of the
variable annuity payment derived from each Variable Account is determined by
multiplying the number of annuity units of that Variable Account attributable
to that Contract by the value of such annuity unit at the end of the valuation
period immediately preceding the date of such payment.

    The annuity unit value will increase or decrease from one payment to the
next in proportion to the net investment return of the Variable Account or
Variable Accounts supporting the variable annuity payments, less an adjustment
to neutralize the 3.0% assumed investment rate referred to above.  Therefore,
the dollar amount of annuity payments after the first will vary with the amount
by which the net investment return of the appropriate Variable Accounts is
greater or less than 3.0% per year.  For example, for a Contract using only one
Variable Account to generate variable annuity payments, if that Variable
Account has a cumulative net investment return of 5% over a one year period,
the first annuity payment in the next year will be





                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>   149
approximately 2% greater than the payment on the same date in the preceding
year.  If such net investment return is 1% over a one year period, the first
annuity payment in the next year will be approximately 2 percentage points less
than the payment on the same date in the preceding year.  (See also "Variable
Annuity Payments" in the Prospectus.)

ANNUITY UNIT VALUE

    The value of an annuity unit is calculated at the same time that the value
of an accumulation unit is calculated and is based on the same values for fund
shares and other assets and liabilities.  (See "Separate Account Value" in the
Prospectus.)  The annuity unit value for each Variable Account's first
valuation period was set at $100.  The annuity unit value for a Variable
Account is calculated for each subsequent valuation period by dividing (1) by
(2), then multiplying this quotient by (3) and then multiplying the result by
(4), where:

    (1)      is the accumulation unit value for the current valuation period;

    (2)      is the accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding
             valuation period;

    (3)      is the annuity unit value for the immediately preceding valuation
             period; and

    (4)      is a special factor designed to compensate for the assumed
             investment rate of 3.0% built into the table used to compute the
             first variable annuity payment.

    The following illustrations show, by use of hypothetical examples, the
method of determining the annuity unit value and the amount of several variable
annuity payments based on one Variable Account.

               ADDITION, DELETION OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS

         In the event of any such substitution or change, the Company may (by
appropriate endorsement, if necessary) change the Contract to reflect the
substitution or change.  If the Company considers it to be in the best interest
of Owners and Annuitants, and subject to any approvals that may be required
under applicable law, the Separate Account may be operated as a management
investment company under the 1940 Act, it may be deregistered under that Act if
registration is no longer required, it may be combined with other of the
Company's separate accounts, or the assets may be transferred to another
separate account.  In addition, the Company may, when permitted by law,
restrict or eliminate any voting rights the Owner has under the Contracts.

         The Company will continue to pay a Living Benefit under the Visionary
Choice Contract and a Maturity Benefit under the Visionary Contract on Premium
Payments allocated to an Eligible Variable Account if: (a) the Portfolio
underlying an Eligible Variable Account changes its investment objective; (b)
the Company determines that an investment in the Portfolio underlying an
Eligible Variable Account is no longer appropriate in light of the purposes of
the Separate Account; or (c) shares of a Portfolio underlying an Eligible
Variable Account are no longer available for investment by the Separate Account
and the Company is forced to redeem all shares of the Portfolio held by the
Eligible Variable Account. (See the Prospectus for the Owner's Contract.)

RESOLVING MATERIAL CONFLICTS

         The Funds currently sell shares to registered separate accounts of
insurance companies other than IL Annuity to support other variable annuity
contracts and variable life insurance contracts.  In addition, some of the
Funds may in the future be sold to the Company's other separate accounts and
may in the future be sold to separate accounts of other affiliated life
insurance companies to support other variable annuity or variable life
insurance contracts.





                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>   151
Moreover, shares of some of the Funds may in the future be sold to qualified
retirement plans.  As a result, there is a possibility that an irreconcilable
material conflict may arise between the Owner's interests in owning a Contract
whose Contract Value is allocated to the Separate Account and of persons owning
Contracts whose Contract Values are allocated to one or more other separate
accounts investing in any one of the Funds.  There is also the possibility that
a material conflict may arise between the interests of Contract Owners
generally, or certain classes of Contract Owners, and participating qualified
retirement plans or participants in such retirement plans.

         The Company currently does not foresee any disadvantages to the Owner
that would arise from the sale of Fund shares to support variable life
insurance contracts or variable annuity contracts of other companies or to
qualified retirement plans.  However, the management of the Funds will each
monitor events related to their Fund in order to identify any material
irreconcilable conflicts that might possibly arise as a result of such Fund
offering its shares to (1) support both variable life insurance contracts and
variable annuity contracts, or (2) support the variable life insurance
contracts and/or variable annuity contracts issued by various unaffiliated
insurance companies.  In addition, the management of the Funds will monitor the
Funds in order to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that might
possibly arise as a result of the sale of its shares to qualified retirement
plans, if applicable.  In the event of such a conflict, the management of the
appropriate Fund would determine what action, if any, should be taken in
response to the conflict.  In addition, if the Company believes that the
response of the Funds to any such conflict does not sufficiently protect the
Owner, the Company will take appropriate action on its own, including
withdrawing the Separate Account's investment in such Funds, as appropriate.
(See the individual Fund prospectuses for greater detail.)

                    TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS

         The participation agreements pursuant to which the Funds sell their
shares to the Variable Account contain varying provisions regarding
termination.  The following summarizes those provisions:

         THE ALGER AMERICAN FUND.  This agreement provides for termination: (1)
on six months' advance written notice by any party; (2) at IL Annuity's option
if shares of any Portfolio are not reasonably available to meet the
requirements of the Contracts or are not registered, issued or sold in
accordance with applicable state and/or federal law; (3) at IL Annuity's option
if any Portfolio ceases to be qualified as a Regulated Investment Company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"); (4)  at IL Annuity's
option if any Portfolio fails to meet certain diversification requirements of
the Code; (5) at the option of the Fund or Fred Alger & Company, Inc. (the

                                 VOTING RIGHTS

         The number of the Owner's votes is determined by dividing the Contract
Value the Owner has in a Variable Account by the net asset value per share of
the Portfolio in which that Variable Account invests.  For each Annuitant, the
number of votes attributable to a Variable Account will be determined by
dividing the liability for future variable annuity payments to be paid from
that Variable Account by the net asset value per share of the Portfolio in
which that Variable Account invests.  This liability for future payments is
calculated on the basis of the mortality assumptions.   The assumed investment
rate the Owner selected is used in determining the number of annuity units of
that Variable Account credited to the Annuitant's Contract and annuity unit
value of that Variable Account on the date that the number of votes is
determined.  As variable annuity payments are made to the Annuitant, the
liability for future payments decreases as does the number of votes.

         The number of votes available to the Owner or an Annuitant will be
determined as of the date coincident with the date established by the Fund for
determining shareholders eligible to vote at the relevant meeting of the
Portfolio's shareholders.  Voting instructions will be solicited by written
communication prior to such meeting in accordance with procedures established
for the Fund.

expected to compensate sales representatives in varying amounts from these
commissions.  The Company may also pay other distribution expenses such as
production incentive bonuses, an agent's insurance and pension benefits, and
agency expense allowances.  These distribution expenses do not result in any
additional charges against the Contracts other than those described in the

                         Report of Independent Auditors


Board of Directors
IL Annuity and Insurance Company

   
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of IL Annuity and Insurance
Company (indirectly majority owned by Indianapolis Life Insurance Company) as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of income,
shareholder's equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
    

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of IL Annuity and Insurance
Company at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

IL Annuity and Insurance Company (the "Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Indianapolis Life Group of Companies, which in turn is a majority owned
subsidiary of Indianapolis Life Insurance Company ("Indianapolis Life").  The
Company exists under the laws of the State of Massachusetts and is licensed to
do business in forty-one states and the District of Columbia.

The Company offers flexible premium deferred annuity contracts which may be
offered in connection with retirement plans. The premiums collected on variable
annuity contracts are invested primarily in various mutual funds held in a
Separate Account at the direction of the policyholder.

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that effect amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes.  Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future
as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and
disclosed herein.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES

Fixed maturity securities which may be sold to meet liquidity and other needs
of the Company are categorized as available for sale and are reported at fair
value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component
of shareholder's equity.  Fixed maturity securities which the Company has the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are categorized as
held-to-maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Fixed maturity securities
that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the
near term to generate profits from short-term differences in price are
categorized as trading and are reported at fair value with unrealized holding
gains and losses reported in operations.

CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Cash and short-term investments include cash on hand and demand deposits and
investments with maturities of less than one year at the date of acquisition,
and are stated at cost which approximates fair value.

DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS

Costs relating to the acquisition of annuity products, primarily commissions
and certain costs of marketing, policy issuance and underwriting, which vary
with and are directly related to the production of new business, are deferred
and included in the deferred acquisition cost asset to the extent that such
cost are recoverable from future policy related revenues.  Deferred acquisition
costs, with interest, are amortized over the lives of the policies in a
relationship to the present value of estimated future gross profits, discounted
using the interest rate credited to the policy.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is amortized over the period of 20 years using the straight-line
method.

FUTURE POLICY BENEFIT RESERVES

   
Future policy benefit reserves for annuity products represent policy account
balances before applicable surrender charges, and net unrealized gains on
available for sale securities allocated to policyholders.
    

THIRD-PARTY ADMINISTRATORS

   
The Company has contractual arrangements with three third-party administrators
to distribute its annuity products, which represents all of the Company's
business.  A significant portion of the Company's annuity products are
distributed and administered by Legacy Marketing Group.
    

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

   
Separate account assets and liabilities represent funds that are separately
administered, principally for variable annuity contracts, and for which the
contractholder, rather than the Company, bears the investment risk.  Separate
account contractholders have no claim against the assets of the general account
of the Company.  Separate account assets are reported at market value.  The
operations of the Separate Account are not included in the accompanying
financial statements.

administrative services from Indianapolis Life for 1997 and 1996, respectively,
in conjunction with expense allocation agreements.
    

   
8. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)
    

   
The Company utilizes certain computer systems and programs maintained by
Indianapolis Life. Indianapolis Life is converting and upgrading its
information systems architecture from mainframe-based to LAN-based systems. 
This process has been underway for several years and is planned to be completed
during 1998. Indianapolis Life and the Company believe that upon completion of
the conversion, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational
problems for its computer systems.
    
    
   
The Company has begun formal communications with all of its service
providers and significant suppliers to see that they are developing plans to
address their  own Year 2000 problems as they relate to the Company's interface
systems.  If  modifications of data processing systems of either the Company or
its service  providers are not completed timely, the Year 2000 problem could
have a material  impact on the operations of the Company.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
IL Annuity and Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of IL Annuity and
Insurance Company Separate Account 1 (the Account) as of December 31, 1997, and
the related statement of operations for the year then ended and statements of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Account's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1997 by correspondence with
the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of IL Annuity and Insurance
Company Separate Account 1 at December 31, 1997, the results of its operations
for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

ITEM 28.          INDEMNIFICATION

         The By-Laws of IL Annuity and Insurance Company provide, in Article X,
as follows:

                                    ARTICLE X
                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Any director or officer or his legal representative shall be
         indemnified by the Company against reasonable expenses including the
         cost of any settlement and counsel fees paid or incurred in connection
         with any action, suit or proceeding to which any such director or
         officer or his legal representative may be made a party by reason of
         his being or having been such director or officer, provided it shall
         not be determined by a final determination thereof on the merits that
         such director or officer was in any substantial way derelict in the
         performance of his duties, or provided that such action, suit or
         proceeding shall be settled without a final determination on the merits
         and it shall be determined that such officer or director had not in any
         substantial way been derelict in the performance of his duties as
         charged therein, such determination to be made by a majority of the
         members of the Board of Directors who were not parties to such action,
         suit or proceedings, though less than a quorum, or by any one or more
         disinterested persons to whom the question may be referred by the Board
         of Directors. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
         exclusive of any other rights to which any director or officer may be
         entitled as a matter of law or which may be lawfully granted to him.

         Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by


                                       C-4
<PAGE>   192


controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

2.       Authorization and Appointment

         a.      Scope of Authority.  Insurer hereby authorizes Distributor on
                 an exclusive basis, and Distributor accepts such authority,
                 subject to the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and

                 Distributor as its independent general agent for sale of the
                 Contracts.  Insurer hereby authorizes Distributor to grant
                 authority to Selling Broker-Dealers to solicit Applications
                 and Premiums to the extent Distributor deems appropriate and
                 consistent with the marketing program for the Contracts or a
                 class of Contracts, subject to the conditions set forth in
                 Section 4 of this Agreement.  The Contracts shall be offered

                 subject to compliance with applicable law, including rules of
                 the NASD.

         b.      Limits on Authority.  Distributor shall act as an independent
                 contractor and nothing herein contained shall constitute
                 Distributor or its agents, officers or employees as agents,
                 officers or employees of Insurer solely by virtue of their
                 activities in connection with the sale of the Contracts
                 hereunder.  Distributor and its Representatives shall not have
                 authority, on behalf of Insurer:  to make, alter or discharge

                 NASD and duly licensed with all applicable state insurance and

                          Contracts may lawfully be sold or offered for sale in
                          such state, and has not subsequently revised such

                          connection with the offer or sale of such class of
                          Contracts that is not in accordance with the

                 this Agreement in compliance with Section 9(a) of the 1940
                 Act.

4.       Selling Broker-Dealers.  Distributor shall ensure that sales of the
         Contracts by Selling Broker-Dealers comply with the following
         conditions, and any additional conditions Insurer may specify from

         a.      Every Selling Broker-Dealer shall be both registered as a
                 broker-dealer with the SEC and a member of the NASD and
                 licensed as an insurance agent with authority to sell variable
                 products or associated with an insurance agent so licensed.
                 Any individuals to be authorized to act on behalf of Selling
                 Broker-Dealer shall be duly registered with the NASD as
                 representatives of Selling Broker-Dealer shall be duly
                 registered with the NASD as representatives of Selling
                 Broker-Dealer with authority to sell variable products, and
                 shall be licensed as insurance agents with authority to sell
                 variable products.  Distributor shall verify that Selling
                 Broker-Dealer and its Representatives are duly licensed under
                 applicable state insurance law to sell the Contracts (or, if
                 Broker-Dealer is not so licensed, that it is associated with
                 an entity so licensed).

         b.      Every Selling Broker-Dealer (or, if applicable, its associated
                 general insurance agency) and each of its Representatives
                 shall have been appointed by Insurer, provided that Insurer
                 reserves the right to refuse to appoint any proposed person,
                 or once appointed, to terminate such appointment.

         c.      Every Selling Broker-Dealer must enter into a written sales
                 agreement with Distributor which sales agreement, among other
                 things, will require such Selling Broker-Dealer to use its
                 best efforts to solicit applications for Contracts and to
                 comply with applicable laws and regulations, including the
                 Insurer's rules and regulations as reflected in the Agents
                 Manual or otherwise communicated to agents appointed by
                 Insurer, and will contain such other provisions as the
                 Distributor deems to be consistent herewith.

         d.      In view of Insurer's desire to ensure that Contracts will be
                 sold to purchasers for whom the Contracts will be suitable,
                 the written Sales Agreement shall require that Selling
                 Broker-Dealers and their Representatives not make
                 recommendations to an applicant to purchase a Contract in the
                 absence of reasonable grounds to





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6
                 believe that the purchase of the Contract is suitable for the
                 applicant.  While not limited to the following, a
                 determination of suitability shall be based on information
                 supplied by an applicant after a reasonable inquiry concerning
                 the applicant's other security holdings, insurance and
                 investment objectives, financial situation and needs, and the
                 likelihood that the applicant will continue to make any
                 premium payments contemplated by the Contract applied for and
                 will keep the Contract in force for a sufficient period of
                 time so that Insurer's acquisition costs are amortized over a
                 reasonable period of time.

                 required, with the NASD and any state securities regulatory
                 authorities, on behalf of the Distributor.  Insurer shall be
                 responsible for filing all promotional, sales or advertising

                 authorities. Insurer shall be responsible for preparing the
                 Contract forms and filing them with applicable state insurance
                 regulatory authorities, and for preparing the Prospectuses and

                 regulatory authorities, to the extent required.

         b.      Use in Solicitation Activities.  Insurer shall be responsible
                 for furnishing Distributor with such Applications,
                 Prospectuses and other materials for use by  Distributor and
                 any Selling Broker-Dealers in their solicitation activities
                 with respect to the Contracts.  Insurer shall notify
                 Distributor of those states or jurisdictions which require
                 delivery of a statement of additional information with a
                 prospectus to a prospective purchaser.

                          preliminary and each definitive Prospectus);

                 investigation or proceeding or judicial proceeding received by
                 either party with respect to the Contracts.

                 legal and other expenses reasonably  incurred in connection
                 with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit
                 or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which distributor
                 and/or any such person may become subject, under any statute
                 or regulation, any NASD rule or interpretation, at common law
                 or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
                 liabilities:

                 (1)      arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
                          or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
                          omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
                          required to be stated therein or necessary to make
                          the statements therein not misleading, in light of
                          the circumstances in which they were made, contained
                          in any (i) Registration Statement or in any
                          Prospectus or (ii) blue-sky application or other
                          document executed by Insurer specifically for the
                          purpose of qualifying any or all of the Contracts for
                          sale under the securities laws of any jurisdiction;
                          provided that Insurer shall not be liable in any such
                          case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or
                          liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue
                          statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
                          alleged omission made in reliance upon information
                          furnished in writing to Insurer by

                          Distributor specifically for use in the preparation
                          of any such Registration Statement or any such
                          blue-sky application or any amendment thereof or
                          supplement thereto;

                 (2)      result from any breach by Insurer of any provision of
                          this Agreement.

                 This indemnification agreement shall be in addition to any
                 liability that Insurer may otherwise have; provided,however,
                 that no person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant
                 to this provision if such loss, claim, damage or liability is
                 due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
                 reckless disregard of duty by the person seeking
                 indemnification.

         b.      By Distributor.  Distributor shall indemnify and hold harmless
                 Insurer and each person who controls or is associated with
                 Insurer within the meaning of such terms under the federal
                 securities laws, and any officer, director, employee or agent
                 of the foregoing, against any and all losses, claims, damages
                 or liabilities, joint or several (including any investigative,
                 legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
                 with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit
                 or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which Insurer and/or
                 any such person may become subject under any statute or
                 regulation, any NASD rule or interpretation, at common law or
                 otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
                 liabilities:

                 (1)      arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
                          or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
                          omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
                          required to be stated therein or necessary in order
                          to make the statements therein not misleading, in
                          light of the circumstances in which they were made,
                          contained in any (i) Registration Statement or in any
                          Prospectus, or (ii) blue-sky application or other
                          document executed by Insurer specifically for the
                          purpose of qualifying any or all of the Contracts for
                          sale under the securities laws of any jurisdiction;
                          in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,
                          that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
                          statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
                          reliance upon information furnished in writing by
                          Distributor to Insurer specifically for use in the
                          preparation of any such Registration Statement or any
                          such blue-sky application or any amendment thereof or
                          supplement thereto

                 (2)      result because of any use by Distributor or any
                          Distributor Representative of promotional, sales or
                          advertising material not authorized by Insurer or any
                          verbal or written misrepresentations by Distributor
                          or any Distributor Representative or any unlawful
                          sales practices concerning the Contracts by

<PAGE>   10
                          Distributor or any Distributor Representative under
                          federal securities laws or NASD regulations; or

                 (3)      result from any breach by distributor of any
                          provision of this Agreement.

                 This indemnification shall be in addition to any liability
                 that Distributor may otherwise have; provided, however, that
                 no person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to
                 this provision if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due
                 to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
                 reckless disregard of duty by the person seeking
                 indemnification.

         c.      General.  Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to
                 indemnification ("indemnified person") under this Section 9 of
                 notice of the commencement of any action as to which a claim
                 will be made against any person obligated to provide
                 indemnification under this Section 9 ("indemnifying party"),
                 such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying party in
                 writing of the commencement thereof as soon as practicable
                 thereafter, but failure to so notify the indemnifying party
                 shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
                 which it may have to the indemnified person otherwise than on
                 account of this Section 9.  The indemnifying party will be
                 entitled to participate in the  defense of the indemnified
                 person but such participation will not relive such
                 indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the
                 indemnified person for reasonable legal and other expenses
                 incurred by such indemnified person in defending himself or
                 itself.

                 The indemnification provisions contained in this Section 9
                 shall remain operative in full force and effect, regardless of
                 any termination of this Agreement.  A successor by law of
                 Distributor or Insurer, as the case may be, shall be entitled
                 to the benefits of the indemnification provisions contained in
                 this Section 9.


10.      Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate automatically if it is
         assigned by a party without the prior written consent of the other
         party.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time for any reason by
         either party upon 30 days' written notice to the other party, without
         payment of any penalty.  (The term "assigned" shall not include any
         transaction exempted from Section 15(b)(2) of the 1940 Act.)  This
         Agreement may be terminated at the option of either party to this
         Agreement upon the other party's material breach of any provision of
         this Agreement or of any representation or warranty made in this
         Agreement, unless such breach has been cured within 10 days after
         receipt of notice of breach from the non-breaching party.  Upon
         termination of this Agreement all authorizations, rights and
         obligations shall cease except the obligation to settle accounts
         hereunder, including commissions on Premiums subsequently received for
         Contracts in effect at the time of termination or issued pursuant to
         Applications received by Insurer prior to termination.

11.      Miscellaneous

         a.      Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding on and shall
                 inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns
                 of the parties hereto provided that neither party shall assign
                 this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without
                 the prior written consent of the other party.

         b.      Schedules.  The parties to this Agreement may amend Schedule 1
                 to this Agreement from time to time to reflect additions of
                 any class of Contracts and Variable Accounts.  The provisions
                 of this Agreement shall be equally applicable to each such
                 class of Contracts and each Variable Account that may be added
                 to the Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires.
                 Insurer may amend Schedule 2 unilaterally, from time to time.
                 Any other change in the terms or provisions of this Agreement
                 shall be by written agreement between Insurer and Distributor.

         c.      Rights, Remedies, and Obligations are Cumulative.  The rights,
                 remedies and obligations contained in this Agreement are
                 cumulative and are in addition to any and all rights, remedies
                 and obligations, at law or in equity, which the parties hereto
                 are entitled to under state and federal laws.  Failure of
                 either party to insist upon strict compliance with any of the
                 conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a
                 waiver of any of the conditions, but the same shall remain in
                 full force and effect.  No waiver of any of the provisions of
                 this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver
                 of any other provisions, whether or not similar, nor shall any
                 waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

         e.      Interpretation; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement constitutes the
                 whole agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
                 subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior oral or
                 written understandings, agreements or negotiations between the
                 parties with respect to such subject matter.  No prior
                 writings by or between the parties with respect to the subject
                 matter hereof shall be used by either party in connection with
                 the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.  This
                 Agreement shall be construed and its provisions interpreted
                 under and in accordance with the internal laws of the state of
                 Indiana without giving effect to principles of conflict of
                 laws.

         f.      Severability.  This is a severable Agreement.  In the event
                 that any provision of this Agreement would require a party to
                 take action prohibited by applicable federal or  state law or
                 prohibit a party from taking action required by applicable
                 federal or state law, then it is the intention of the parties
                 hereto that such provision shall be enforced to the extent
                 permitted under the law, and, in any event, that all other
                 provisions of this Agreement shall remain valid and duly
                 enforceable as if the provision at issue had never been a part
                 hereof.

         g.      Section and Other Headings.  The headings in this Agreement
                 are included for convenience of reference only and in no way
                 define or delineate any of the provisions hereof or otherwise
                 affect their construction or effect.

          h.     Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more
                 counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute
                 one and the same instrument.

          i.     Regulation.  This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions
                 of the 1933 Act, 1934 Act and 1940 Act and the Regulations and
                 the rules and regulations of the NASD, from time to time in
                 effect, including such exemptions from the 1940 Act as the SEC
                 may grant, and the terms hereof shall be interpreted and
                 construed in accordance therewith.

                 the securities laws, and Insurer hereby authorizes

                 jurisdiction in which Broker-Dealer transacts business.

         (c)     Broker-Dealer is vested under this Agreement with power and
                 authority to select and recommend individuals associated with
                 it for appointment as Agents of the Insurer, and only

                 satisfied, and provided further that Insurer reserves the
                 right to refuse to appoint any proposed agent or, once

                 unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement
                 or unless Distributor and Insurer shall have agreed in advance
                 in writing to share the cost of any such expenses.
                 Broker-Dealer shall not possess or exercise any authority on
                 behalf of Insurer or Distributor other than that expressly
                 conferred on Broker-Dealer by this Agreement.  In particular,
                 and without limiting the foregoing, Broker-Dealer shall not
                 have any authority, nor shall either grant such authority to
                 any Agent, on behalf of Insurer: to make, alter or discharge

         (c)     Broker-Dealer shall ensure that no individual shall offer or
                 sell the Contracts on its behalf in any state or other
                 jurisdiction in which the Contracts may lawfully be sold
                 unless (i) such individual is an associated person of
                 Broker-Dealer (as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(18) of
                 the 1934 Act) and duly registered with the NASD and any
                 applicable state securities regulatory authority as a
                 registered person of Broker-Dealer qualified to sell the
                 Contracts in such state or jurisdiction, (ii) duly licensed,
                 registered or otherwise qualified to offer and sell the

                 licensing of any individuals recommended for appointment by
                 Broker-Dealer under any applicable state  insurance law shall
                 be a matter directly between Broker-Dealer and such
                 individual, and Broker-Dealer shall furnish Insurer with proof
                 of proper licensing of such individual or other proof,
                 reasonably acceptable to Insurer, of satisfaction by such
                 individual of licensing requirements prior to Insurer
                 appointing any such individual as an Agent of Insurer.
                 Insurer and Broker-Dealer shall notify Insurer and Distributor
                 immediately upon termination (for whatever reason) of an
                 Agent's association with Broker-Dealer.

         (d)     Broker-Dealer Agent shall notify Insurer immediately in
                 writing if Broker-Dealer fails to comply with any such terms
                 and conditions.

                 solicitation activities with respect to the Contracts and
                 shall supervise Agents' compliance with applicable federal and
                 state securities law and NASD requirements in connection with
                 such solicitation activities.

         (b)     Broker-Dealer hereby represents and warrants that it is duly
                 in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities
                 laws and regulations, and all applicable insurance laws and
                 regulations.  Broker-Dealer shall carry out its obligations
                 under this Agreement in continued compliance with such laws
                 and regulations.

<PAGE>   5
                 Further, Broker-Dealer shall comply, and shall ensure that
                 Agents comply, with the rules and procedures set forth in the
                 Agent's Manual, and the rules set forth below, and
                 Broker-Dealer shall be solely responsible for such compliance.

                 (i)      Broker-Dealer and Agents shall not offer or attempt
                          to offer the Contracts, nor solicit applications for
                          the Contracts, nor deliver Contracts, in any state or
                          jurisdiction in which the Contracts have not been
                          approved for sale.  For purposes of determining where
                          the Contracts may be offered and applications
                          solicited, Broker-Dealer may rely on written
                          notification, as revised from time to time, that it
                          receives from Insurer pursuant to this Agreement.

                 (ii)     Broker-Dealer and Agents shall not solicit

                          state insurance law, the  then-currently effective
                          statement of additional information for the
                          Contracts, and the then-currently effective
                          prospectus(es) for the Fund(s).

                 (iii)    Broker-Dealer and Agents shall not recommend the
                          purchase of a Contract to an applicant unless each
                          has reasonable grounds to believe that such purchase
                          is suitable for the applicant in accordance with,
                          among other things, applicable regulations of any
                          state insurance regulatory authority, the SEC and the
                          NASD.  While not limited to the following, a determi
                          nation of suitability shall be based on information
                          supplied by the applicant after a reasonable inquiry
                          concerning the applicant's insurance and investment
                          objectives and financial situation and needs and
                          shall entail a review by Broker-Dealer of all
                          applications for suitability and completeness and
                          correctness as to form as well as review and
                          endorsement on an internal record of Broker-Dealer.

                 (iv)     Broker-Dealer and Agents shall not encourage a
                          prospective purchaser to surrender or exchange an
                          insurance policy or contract in order to purchase a
                          Contract or, conversely, to surrender or exchange a
                          Contract in order to purchase another insurance
                          policy or contract subject to applicable NASD Rules
                          of Fair Practice and any other applicable laws,
                          regulations and regulatory guidelines.

                 (v)      Broker-Dealer and all Agents shall accept initial
                          premiums in the form of a check or money order only
                          if made payable to "IL ANNUITY AND INSURANCE COMPANY"
                          and signed by the applicant for the Contract.
                          Broker-Dealer and Agent shall not accept third-party
                          checks or cash for Premiums.

                 (vi)     Broker-Dealer shall ensure that all checks and money
                          orders and applications for the Contracts received by
                          either it or an Agent shall be remitted promptly, and
                          in any event not later than 2 business days after
                          receipt, to the Insurer.  In the event that any other
                          Premiums are sent to an Agent or Broker-Dealer,
                          rather than to the Service Office, Broker-Dealer
                          shall promptly (and in any event, not later than 2
                          business days) remit such Premiums to the Insurer as
                          set forth in the Agent's Manual.  Broker-Dealer
                          acknowledges that  if any Premium is held at any
                          time, such Premium shall be held on behalf of
                          Insurer, and Broker-Dealer shall segregate such
                          Premium from its own funds and promptly (and in any
                          event, within 2 business days) remit such Premium to
                          the Insurer.  All such Premiums, whether by check,
                          money order or wire, shall at all times be the
                          property of Insurer.

                 (vii)    Upon issuance of a Contract by Insurer and delivery
                          of such Contract to Broker-Dealer, Broker-Dealer
                          shall promptly deliver such Contract to its
                          purchaser.  For purposes of this provision,
                          "promptly" shall be deemed to mean not later than
                          five calendar days.  Broker-Dealer shall return
                          promptly to Insurer all receipts for delivered
                          Contracts, all undelivered Contracts and all receipts
                          for cancellation, in accordance with the instructions
                          set forth in the Agent's Manual. Insurer will assume
                          that a Contract will be delivered by Broker-Dealer to
                          the purchaser of such Contract within five calendar
                          days for purposes of determining when to transfer
                          Premiums initially allocated to the Money Market
                          Account available under such Contract to the
                          particular investment options specified by such
                          purchaser.  As a result, if a purchaser exercises the
                          free look provisions under a Contract, Broker-Dealer
                          shall indemnify Insurer for any loss incurred by
                          Insurer that results from Broker-Dealer's failure to
                          deliver such Contract to its purchaser within the
                          contemplated five calendar day period.

                 (viii)   Broker-Dealer and the Agents in connection with the
                          offer or sale of the Contracts, shall not give any
                          information or make any representations or
                          statements, written or oral, concerning the
                          Contracts, a Fund or Fund Shares, other than or
                          inconsistent with information or representations
                          contained in the Prospectuses, statements of
                          additional information and Registration Statements
                          for the Contracts, or a Fund, or in reports or proxy
                          statements therefor, or in promotional, sales or
                          advertising material or other information supplied
                          and approved in writing by Distributor and Insurer.

         (c)     Broker-Dealer understands, acknowledges, and represents that
                 Contracts and Premiums thereunder shall not be solicited,
                 offered, or sold in connection with





                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   7
                 any so-called "market timing" or "asset allocation" program,
                 plan, arrangement or service.  Should  Distributor or Insurer
                 determine at its sole discretion that Broker-Dealer is
                 soliciting, offering, or selling, or has solicited, offered,
                 or sold, Contracts or Premiums subject to any so-called
                 "market timing" or "asset allocation" program, plan,
                 arrangement or service, Distributor or Insurer may take such
                 action which is necessary, at its sole discretion, to halt
                 such solicitations, offers or sales.  Furthermore, in addition
                 to any indemnification provided in Section 11 of this
                 Agreement and any other liability that Broker-Dealer might
                 have, Broker-Dealer shall be liable to Distributor and Insurer
                 and each Fund affected by any so-called "market timing" or
                 "asset allocation" program, plan, arrangement or service, for
                 any damages or losses, actual or consequential, sustained by
                 Distributor or Insurer or any Fund, as a result of any
                 so-called "market timing" or "asset allocation" program, plan,
                 arrangement or service which causes such losses or damages
                 following solicitation, offer, or sale of a Contract or
                 Premium subject to "market timing" or "asset allocation" or
                 similar service by Broker-Dealer.

         (d)     Broker-Dealer shall promptly furnish to Insurer or its
                 authorized agent any reports and information that Insurer may
                 reasonably request for the purpose of meeting Insurer's
                 reporting and recordkeeping requirements under the insurance
                 laws of any state, under any applicable federal and state
                 securities laws, rules and regulations.

         (e)     Broker-Dealer shall secure and maintain a fidelity bond
                 (including coverage for larceny and embezzlement), issued by a
                 reputable bonding company, covering all of its directors,
                 officers, agents and employees who have access to funds of
                 Insurer or Distributor.  This bond shall be maintained at
                 Broker-Dealer's expense in at least the amount prescribed
                 under Article III, Section 32 of the NASD Rules of Fair
                 Practice.  Broker-Dealer shall provide Distributor with a copy
                 of said bond before executing this Agreement.  Broker-Dealer
                 shall also secure and maintain errors and omissions insurance
                 acceptable to Insurer and covering Broker-Dealer and
                 Representatives.  Broker-Dealer hereby assigns any proceeds
                 received from a fidelity bonding company, errors and omissions
                 or other liability coverage, to Insurer or Distributor as
                 their interest may appear, to the extent of their loss due to
                 activities covered by the bond, policy or other liability
                 coverage.  If there is any deficiency amount, whether due to a
                 deductible or otherwise, Broker-Dealer shall promptly pay such
                 amounts on demand.  Broker-Dealer hereby indemnifies and holds
                 harmless Insurer and Distributor from any such deficiency and
                 from the costs of collection thereof, including reasonable
                 attorneys' fees.

         (a)     During the term of this Agreement, Distributor and Insurer
                 will provide Broker-Dealer, without charge, with as many
                 copies of Prospectuses (and any supplements thereto), current
                 Fund prospectus(es) (and any supplements thereto), and
                 applications for the Contracts, as Broker-Dealer may
                 reasonably request. Upon termination of this Agreement,
                 Broker-Dealer will promptly return to Distributor any
                 Prospectuses, applications, Fund prospectuses, and other
                 materials and supplies furnished by Distributor or Insurer to
                 Broker-Dealer or to the Agents.

         (b)     During the term of this Agreement, Distributor and Insurer
                 will be responsible for providing and approving all
                 promotional, sales and advertising material to be used by
                 Broker-Dealer in the course of its solicitation activities
                 hereunder.  Distributor will file such materials or will cause
                 such materials to be filed with the SEC, the NASD, and/or with
                 any state securities regulatory authorities, as appropriate.
                 Broker-Dealer shall not use or implement, nor shall it allow
                 any Agent to use or implement, any promotional, sales or
                 advertising material relating to the Contracts or otherwise
                 advertise the Contracts without the prior written approval of
                 Distributor and Insurer.

6.  COMMISSIONS AND EXPENSES

         (a)     During the term of this Agreement, Insurer shall pay to
                 Broker-Dealer, as compensation for Contracts for which it is
                 the Broker-of-Record, the concessions and fees set forth in
                 Schedule 2 to this Agreement, as such Schedule 2 may be
                 amended or modified upon 30 days prior notice.  Any amendment
                 to Schedule 2 will be applicable to any Contract for which an
                 application or premium is received by the Service Office on or
                 after the effective date of such amendment or which is in
                 effect after the effective date of such amendment.
                 Compensation with respect to any Contract shall be paid to
                 Broker-Dealer only for so long as Broker-Dealter is the
                 Broker-of-Record for such Contract.

         (b)     Broker-Dealer recognize that all compensation payable to
                 Broker-Dealer hereunder will be disbursed by or on behalf of
                 Insurer after Premiums are received and accepted by Insurer
                 and that no compensation of any  kind other than that
                 described in this Agreement is payable to Broker-Dealer for
                 the performance of its obligations hereunder.

         (c)     Refund of Compensation.  No compensation shall be payable, and
                 Broker-Dealer agrees to reimburse Distributor for any
                 compensation paid to Broker-Dealer or its Representatives
                 under each of the following conditions:  (i) if Insurer, in
                 its sole discretion, determines not to issue the Contact
                 applied for; (ii) if Insurer refunds the Premiums upon the
                 applicant's surrender or withdrawal pursuant to any
                 "free-look" privilege; (iii) if Insurer refunds the Premiums
                 paid by applicant as a result of a complaint by applicant,
                 recognizing that Insurer has sole discretion to refund





                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   9
                 Premiums; and (iv) if Insurer determines that any person
                 signing an application who is required to be licensed or any
                 other person or entity receiving compensation for soliciting
                 purchase of the Contracts is not duly licensed to sell the
                 Contracts in the jurisdiction of such sale or attempted sale.

         (d)     If the former Agent becomes registered and licensed with
                 another selling broker-dealer and is appointed by Insurer for
                 the sale of Contracts, and a Contract owner files a written
                 request (change of dealer authorization) with Insurer that
                 such owner's Contracts be serviced through the Agent's current
                 selling broker-dealer and the former Broker-Dealer shall not
                 be entitled to any compensation based on such Contracts after
                 the date of such transfer.  Broker-Dealer agrees that no
                 compensation of any kind other than described in this Section
                 6 of this Agreement is payable by Insurer or Distributor to
                 Broker-Dealer.

         (e)     Indebtedness and Right of Setoff.  Nothing contained herein
                 shall be construed as giving Broker-Dealer or Agent the right
                 to incur any indebtedness on behalf of Insurer or Distributor.
                 Broker-Dealer hereby authorizes Insurer and Distributor to set
                 off liabilities of Broker-Dealer to Insurer and Distributor
                 against any and all amounts otherwise payable to
                 Broker-Dealer.

         (f)     Broker-Dealer represent that no concessions or other
                 compensation will be paid for services rendered in soliciting
                 the purchase of the contracts by any person or entity not duly
                 registered or licensed by the required authorities and
                 appointed by Insurer to sell the Contract in the state in
                 which such solicitation occurred; provided however, that this
                 provision shall not prohibit the payment of compensation of
                 the surviving spouse or other beneficiary of a person
                 entitled to receive such compensation pursuant to a bona fide
                 contract calling for such payment.

7.  INTERESTS IN AGREEMENT.

                 Agents shall have no interest in this Agreement or right to
                 any concessions to be paid to Broker-Dealer hereunder.
                 Broker-Dealer shall be solely responsible for the payment of
                 any commission, concession or consideration of any kind to
                 Agents.  Broker-Dealer shall be solely responsible under
                 applicable tax laws for the reporting of compensation paid to
                 Agents.  Broker-Dealer shall have no right to withhold or
                 deduct any concession from any Premiums in respect of the
                 Contracts which it may collect.  Broker-Dealer shall have no
                 interest in any compensation paid by Insurer to Distributor,
                 now or hereafter, in connection with the sale of any Contracts
                 hereunder.

                 common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
                 damages or liabilities arise out of or are based on:

                 (i)      violation(s) by Broker-Dealer or an Agent of federal
                          or state securities law or regulation(s), insurance
                          law or regulation(s), or any rule or requirement of
                          the NASD;

                 (ii)     any unauthorized use of promotional, sales or
                          advertising material, any oral or written
                          misrepresentations, or any unlawful sales practices
                          concerning the Contracts, by Broker-Dealer or an
                          Agent;

                 (iii)    claims by the Agents or other agents or
                          representatives of Broker-Dealer for concessions or
                          other compensation or remuneration of any type;

                 (iv)     any failure on the part of Broker-Dealer or an Agent
                          to submit Premiums or applications to Insurer, or to
                          submit the correct amount of a Premium, on a timely
                          basis and in accordance with this Agreement and the
                          Agent's Manual, subject to applicable law;

                 (v)      any failure on the part of the Broker-Dealer or an
                          Agent to deliver Contracts to purchasers thereof on a
                          timely basis and in accordance with the Agent's
                          Manual; or

                 (vi)     a breach by Broker-Dealer of any provision of this
                          Agreement.

                 This indemnification will be in addition to any liability
                 which Broker-Dealer may otherwise have.

         (b)     Distributor and Insurer, jointly and severally, shall
                 indemnify and hold harmless Broker-Dealer and each person who
                 controls or is associated with Broker-Dealer within the
                 meaning of such terms under the federal securities laws, and
                 any officer, director, employee or agent of the foregoing,
                 against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
                 joint or several (including any investigative, legal or other
                 expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any
                 amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding
                 or any claim asserted), to which they or any of them may
                 become subject under any statute or regulation, NASD rule or
                 regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
                 losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are
                 based upon any breach by Distributor or Insurer of any
                 provision of this Agreement.  This indemnification will be in





                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>   12
                 addition to any liability which Distributor and Insurer,
                 jointly and severally, may otherwise have.

         (c)     Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification
                 ("indemnified person") under this Section 11 of notice of the
                 commencement of any action as to which a claim will be made
                 against any person obligated to provide indemnification under
                 this Section 11 ("indemnifying party"), such indemnified
                 person shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
                 commencement thereof as soon as practicable thereafter, but
                 failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve
                 the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to
                 the indemnified person otherwise than on account of the
                 Section 11.  The indemnifying party will be entitled to
                 participate in the defense of the indemnified person but such
                 participation will not relieve such indemnifying party of the
                 obligation to reimburse the indemnifed person for reasonable
                 legal and other expenses incurred by such indemnified person
                 in defending himself or itself.

         The indemnification provisions contained in this Section 11 shall
         remain operative in full force and effect, regardless of any
         termination of this Agreement.  A successor by law of Distributor or
         Insurer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the
         indemnification provisions contained in this Section 11.  After
         receipt by a party entitled to indemnification ("indemnified party")
         under this Section 11 of notice of the commencement of any action, if
         a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any person obligated
         to provide indemnification under this Section 11 ("indemnifying
         party"), such indemnified party will notify the indemnifying party in
         writing of the commencement thereof as soon as practicable thereafter,
         provided that the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
         not relieve it from any liability under this Section 11, except to the
         extent that the omission results in a failure of actual notice to the
         indemnifying party and such indemnifying party is damaged solely as a
         result of the failure to give such notice.  The indemnifying party,
         upon the request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel
         reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent to the
         indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate
         in such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party
         shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and
         expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
         party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
         shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii)
         the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded
         parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
         and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
         inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
         them.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement
         of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if such
         proceeding is settled with such consent or if final judgment is
         entered in such proceeding for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party
         shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
         liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

         entitled to under state and federal laws.  Failure of a party to

         Agreement shall not be  construed as a waiver of any of the
         conditions, but the same shall remain in full force and effect.  No
         waive of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, or
         shall constitute, a waiver of any other provisions, whether or not

                       IL ANNUITY AND INSURANCE COMPANY
              ENDORSEMENT FOR ROTH INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITY


This endorsement is attached to and made a part of this Contract.  Where a
provision of the endorsement conflicts with a provision of the Contract, the
provision of the endorsement will govern.  This endorsement applies only if the
application states this Contract is a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity (Roth
IRA).

This Contract is issued as a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity under Section
408A of the Internal Revenue Code (Code).  To qualify, Your Contract must meet
the following requirements:

1.  You may not change ownership of this Contract at any time.

2.  Your entire interest in the Contract is nonforfeitable.  It is established
for the exclusive benefit of You or Your beneficiaries.

3.  Your Contract is not transferable and may not be used as security for a
loan.

4.  You must be the Annuitant, and no joint owner or contingent owner is
permitted.

5.  If this Roth IRA is not designated as a Roth Conversion IRA, then, except
in the case of a rollover contribution described in section 408A(e), We will
accept only cash contributions and only up to a maximum amount of $2,000 for
any tax year.  If this Roth IRA is designated as a Roth Conversion IRA, no
contributions other than IRA Conversion Contributions made during the same tax
year will be accepted.

A Roth Conversion IRA is a Roth IRA that accepts only IRA Conversion
Contributions made during the same year.  IRA Conversion Contributions are
amounts rolled over, transferred, or considered transferred from a nonRoth IRA
to Roth IRA.  A nonRoth IRA is an individual retirement account or annuity
described in section 408(a) or 408(b), other than a Roth IRA.

6.  The $2,000 limit described in Paragraph 5 is gradually reduced to $0
between certain levels of adjusted gross income (AGI).  If You are single, the
$2,000 annual contribution is phased out between AGI of $95,000 and $110,000;
if You are married and file jointly, between AGI of $150,000 and $160,000; and
if You are married and file separately, between $0 and $10,000.  In the case of
a conversion, We will not accept IRA Conversion Contributions in a tax year if
Your AGI for that tax year exceeds $100,000 or if You are married and file a
separate return.  Adjusted gross income is defined in section 408A(c)(3) and
does not include IRA Conversion Contributions.
                                     
7.  In the event of Your death, Your entire interest in this Contract must be
distributed in conformity with the regulations described below.  The Contract's
provisions relating to the death of the Annuitant/Owner are changed to the
extent necessary to conform with those regulations.



1-IRA-R98 IL                         PAGE 1

<PAGE>   2
If You die before Your entire interest is distributed to You, and Your surviving
spouse is not the sole beneficiary, the entire remaining interest will, at Your
election or, if You have not so elected, at the election of the beneficiary or
beneficiaries, either:

     (a)  Be distributed by December 31 of the year containing the fifth
          anniversary of Your death, or

     (b)  Be distributed over the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary
          starting no later than December 31 of the year following the year of 
          Your death.

If distributions do not begin by the date described in (b), distribution method
(a) will apply.

In the case of distribution method (b) above, to determine the minimum annual
payment for each year, divide Your entire interest in the Contract as of the
close of business on December 31 of the preceding year by the life expectancy
of the designated beneficiary using the attained age of the designated
beneficiary as of the beneficiary's birthday in the year distributions are
required to commence and subtract 1 for each subsequent year.

If Your spouse is the sole beneficiary on Your date of death, he or she will
then be treated as the Owner.

behalf of each Account to fund certain of the aforesaid variable life and
variable annuity contracts and the Underwriter is authorized to sell such

                 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the
Company, the Fund and the Underwriter agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                              Sale of Fund Shares

                 1.1.     The Underwriter agrees to sell to the Company those
shares of the Fund which each Account orders, executing such orders on a daily
basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its
designee of the order for the shares of the Fund.  For purposes of this Section
1.1, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders
from each Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the
Fund; provided that the Fund receives  notice of such order by 9:00 a.m. Boston
time on the next following Business Day.  "Business Day" shall mean any day on
which the New York Stock





                                       2
<PAGE>   3
Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset
value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                 1.2.     The Fund agrees to make its shares available
indefinitely for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the
Company and its Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its net
asset value pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
Fund shall use reasonable efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day
which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board of Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter the "Board") may
refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate
the offering of shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by
regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the
Board acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under federal
and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the
shareholders of such Portfolio.

                 1.3.     The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the
Fund will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate
accounts.  No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.

                 1.4.     The Fund and the Underwriter will not sell Fund
shares to any insurance company or separate account unless an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as Articles I, III, V, VII and
Section 2.5 of Article II of this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales.

                 1.5.     The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, on the Company's
request, any full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Company,
executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed
after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption.  For
purposes of this Section 1.5, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for
receipt of requests for redemption from each Account and receipt by such
designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund receives
notice of such request for redemption on the next following Business Day.

                 1.6.     The Company agrees that purchases and redemptions of
Portfolio shares offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund shall be
made in accordance with the provisions of such prospectus.  The Company agrees
that all net amounts available under the variable annuity contracts with the
form number(s) which are listed on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference, as such Schedule A may be amended from time to time
hereafter by mutual written agreement of all the parties hereto, (the
"Contracts") shall be invested in the Fund,  in such other Funds advised by the
Adviser as may be mutually agreed to in writing by the parties hereof, or in
the Company's general account, provided that such amounts may also be invested
in an investment company other than the Fund if (a) such other investment
company, or series thereof, has investment objectives or policies that are
substantially different from the investment objectives and policies of all the
Portfolios of the Fund which are actually used by the Company to fund the
Contracts; or (b) the Company gives the Fund and the





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
Underwriter 45 days written notice of its intention to make such other
investment company available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts; or (c)
such other investment company was available as a funding vehicle for the
Contracts prior to the date of this Agreement and the Company so informs the
Fund and Underwriter prior to their signing this Agreement (a list of such
funds appearing on Schedule C to this Agreement); or (d) the Fund or
Underwriter consents to the use of such other investment company.

                 1.7.     The Company shall pay for Fund shares on the next
Business Day after an order to purchase Fund shares is made in accordance with
the provisions of Section 1.1 hereof. Payment shall be in federal funds
transmitted by wire.  For purpose of Section 2.10 and 2.11, upon receipt by the
Fund of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the
responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the Fund.

                 1.8.     Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by
book entry only. Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or any
Account.  Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title
for each Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.

                 1.9.     The Fund shall furnish same day notice (by wire or
telephone, followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income,
dividends or capital gain distributions payable on the Fund's shares.  The
Company hereby elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain
distributions as are payable on the Portfolio shares in additional shares of
that Portfolio.  The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to
receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.  The
Fund shall notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of
such dividends and distributions.

                 1.10.    The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for
each Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably
practical after the net asset value per share is calculated (normally by 6:30
p.m. Boston time) and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value
per share available by 7 p.m. Boston time.


                                   ARTICLE II

                         Representations and Warranties

                 2.1.     The Company represents and warrants that the
Contracts are or will be registered under the 1933 Act; that the Contracts will
be issued and sold in compliance in all material respects with all applicable
Federal and State laws and that the sale of the Contracts shall comply in all
material respects with state insurance suitability requirements.  The Company
further represents and warrants that it is an insurance company duly organized
and in good standing under applicable law and that it has legally and validly
established each Account prior to any issuance or sale thereof as a segregated
asset account under Section 175:132G of the





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
Massachusetts Insurance Code and has registered or, prior to any issuance or
sale of the Contracts, will register each Account as a unit investment trust in
accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act to serve as a segregated
investment account for the Contracts.

                 2.2.     The Fund represents and warrants that Fund shares
sold pursuant to this Agreement shall be registered under the 1933 Act, duly
authorized for issuance and sold in compliance with the laws of the State of
Massachusetts and all applicable federal and state securities laws and that the
Fund is and shall remain registered under the 1940 Act.  The Fund shall amend
the Registration Statement for its shares under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act
from time to time as required in order to effect the continuous offering of its
shares.  The Fund shall register and qualify the shares for sale in accordance
with the laws of the various states only if and to the extent deemed advisable
by the Fund or the Underwriter.

                 2.3.     The Fund represents that it is currently qualified as
a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") and that it will make every effort to
maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or similar
provision) and that it will notify the Company immediately upon having a
reasonable basis for believing that it has ceased to so qualify or that it
might not so qualify in the future.

                 2.4.     So long as the Fund complies with the diversification
requirements noted in Article VI, the Company represents that the Contracts are
currently treated as endowment, annuity or life insurance contracts, under
applicable provisions of the Code and that it will make every effort to
maintain such treatment and that it will notify the Fund and the Underwriter
immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the Contracts
have ceased to be so treated or that they might not be so treated in the
future.

                 2.5.     The Fund currently does not intend to make any
payments to finance distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act or otherwise, although it may make such payments in the future.  The Fund
has adopted a "no fee" or "defensive" Rule 12b-1 Plan under which it makes no
payments for  distribution expenses.  To the extent that it decides to finance
distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund undertakes to have a
board of trustees, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Fund,
formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
expenses.

                 2.6.     The Fund makes no representation as to whether any
aspect of its operations (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses and
investment policies) complies with the insurance laws or regulations of the
various states except that the Fund represents that the Fund's investment
policies, fees and expenses are and shall at all times remain in compliance
with the laws of the State of Massachusetts and Indiana and the Fund and the
Underwriter represent that their respective operations are and shall at all
times remain in material compliance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts
to the extent required to perform this Agreement.

                 2.7.     The Underwriter represents and warrants that it is a
member in good standing of the NASD and is registered as a broker-dealer with
the SEC.  The Underwriter further represents that it will sell and distribute
the Fund shares in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts and
all applicable state and federal securities laws, including without limitation
the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, and the 1940 Act.

                 2.8.     The Fund represents that it is lawfully organized and
validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that
it does and will comply in all material respects with the 1940 Act.

                 2.9.     The Underwriter represents and warrants that the
Adviser is and shall remain duly registered in all material respects under all
applicable federal and state securities laws and that the Adviser shall perform
its obligations for the Fund in compliance in all material respects with the
laws of the State of Massachusetts and any applicable state and federal
securities laws.

                 2.10.    The Fund and Underwriter represent and warrant that
all of their directors, officers, employees, investment advisers, and other
individuals/entities dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund are
and shall continue to be at all times covered by a blanket fidelity bond or
similar coverage for the benefit of the Fund in an amount not less than the
minimal coverage as required currently by Rule 17g-(1) of the 1940 Act or
related provisions as may be promulgated from time to time.  The aforesaid Bond
shall include coverage for larceny and embezzlement and shall be issued by a
reputable bonding company.

                 2.11.    The Company represents and warrants that all of its
directors, officers, employees, investment advisers, and other
individuals/entities dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund are
covered by a blanket fidelity bond or similar coverage, and that said bond is
issued by a reputable bonding company, includes coverage for larceny and
embezzlement, and is in an amount not less than $5 million.  The Company agrees
that any amounts received under such bond in connection with claims that arise
from the arrangements described in this Agreement will be held by the Company
for the benefit of the Fund.  The Company agrees to make all reasonable efforts
to see that this bond or another bond containing these provisions is always in
effect, and agrees to notify the Fund and the Underwriter in the event that
such coverage no longer applies.

                                  ARTICLE III

                   Prospectuses and Proxy Statements: Voting

                 3.1.     The Underwriter shall provide the Company with as
many printed copies of the Fund's current prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information as the Company may reasonably request.  If requested by
the Company in lieu thereof the Fund shall provide camera-ready film or
computer diskettes containing the Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional





                                       6
<PAGE>   7
Information, and such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for
the Company once each year (or more frequently if the prospectus and/or
Statement of Additional Information for the Fund is amended during the year) to
have the prospectus for the Contracts and the Fund's prospectus printed
together in one document, and to have the Statement of Additional Information
for the Fund and the Statement of Additional Information for the Contracts
printed together in one document.  Alternatively, the Company may print the
Fund's prospectus and/or its Statement of Additional Information in combination
with other fund companies' prospectuses and statements of additional
information.  The Fund will make reasonable efforts to create a separate
prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for each Portfolio, but does
not guarantee that such prospectuses or SAIs will be generated in any
particular year.

Except as provided in the following three sentences, all expenses of printing
and distributing Fund prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information
shall be the expense of the Company.  For prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information provided by the Company to its existing owners of
Contracts in order to update disclosure as required by the 1933 Act and/or the
1940 Act, the cost of printing shall be borne by the Fund.  If the Company
chooses to receive camera-ready film or computer diskettes in lieu of receiving
printed copies of the Fund's prospectus, the Fund will reimburse the Company in
an amount equal to the product of A and B where A is the number of such
prospectuses distributed to owners of the Contracts, and B is the Fund's per
unit cost of typesetting and printing the Fund's prospectus.  The same
procedures shall be followed with respect to the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information.

                 The Company agrees to provide the Fund or its designee  with
such information as may be reasonably requested by the Fund to assure that the
Fund's expenses do not include the cost of printing any prospectuses or
Statements of Additional Information other than those actually distributed to
existing owners of the Contracts.

                 3.2.     The Fund's prospectus shall state that the Statement
of Additional Information for the Fund is available from the Underwriter or the
Company (or in the Fund's discretion, the Prospectus shall state that such
Statement is available from the Fund).

                 3.3.     The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company
with copies of its proxy statements, reports to shareholders, and other
communications (except for prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information, which are covered in Section 3.1) to shareholders in such quantity
as the Company shall reasonably require for distributing to Contract owners.

                 3.4.     If and to the extent required by law the Company
shall:

                          (i)     solicit voting instructions from Contract
                                  owners;

                          (ii)    vote the Fund shares in accordance with
                                  instructions received from Contract owners;
                                  and





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
                          (iii)   vote Fund shares for which no instructions
                                  have been received in a particular separate
                                  account in the same proportion as Fund shares
                                  of such portfolio for which instructions have
                                  been received in that separate account,

so long as and to the extent that the Securities and Exchange Commission
continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges
for variable contract owners.  The Company reserves the right to vote Fund
shares held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to the extent
permitted by law.  Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for
assuring that each of their separate accounts participating in the Fund
calculates voting privileges in a manner consistent with the standards set
forth on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference,
which standards will also be provided to the other Participating Insurance
Companies.

                 3.5.     The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940
Act requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either
provide for annual meetings or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act
(although the Fund is not one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of that
Act) as well as with Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b).
Further, the Fund will act in accordance with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's interpretation of the requirements of Section 16(a) with respect
to periodic elections of trustees and with whatever rules the Commission may
promulgate with respect thereto.

representations contained in the registration statement or prospectus for the
Fund shares, as such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or

the Company, each Account, or the Contracts other than the information or
representations contained in a registration statement or prospectus for the
Contracts, as such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, or in published reports for each Account which
are in the public domain or approved by the Company for distribution to
Contract owners, or in sales literature or other promotional material approved
by the Company or its designee, except with the permission of the Company.

                 4.5.     The Fund will provide to the Company at least one

                 4.6.     The Company will provide to the Fund at least one
complete copy of all registration statements, prospectuses, Statements of
Additional Information, reports, solicitations for voting instructions, sales
literature and other promotional materials, applications for exemptions,
requests for no action letters, and all amendments to any of the above, that
relate to the Contracts or each Account, contemporaneously with the filing of
such document with the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

                 4.7.     For purposes of this Article IV, the phrase "sales
literature or other promotional material" includes, but is not limited to, any

advertisements (such as material published, or designed for use in, a
newspaper, magazine, or other periodical, radio, television, telephone or tape
recording, videotape display, signs or billboards, motion pictures, or other
public media), sales literature (i.e., any written communication distributed or

                               Fees and Expenses

compensation to the

Company under this agreement, except that if the Fund or any Portfolio adopts
and implements a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution expenses,
then the Underwriter may make payments to the Company or to the Underwriter for
the Contracts if and in amounts agreed to by the Underwriter in writing and
such payments will be made out of existing fees otherwise payable to the
Underwriter, past profits of the Underwriter or other resources available to
the Underwriter.  No such payments shall be made directly by the Fund.
Currently, no such payments are contemplated.

                 5.2.     All expenses incident to performance by the Fund
under this Agreement shall be paid by the Fund.  The Fund shall see to it that
all its shares are registered and authorized for issuance in accordance with
applicable federal law and, if and to the extent deemed advisable by the Fund,
in accordance with applicable state laws prior to their sale.  The Fund shall
bear  the expenses for the cost of registration and qualification of the Fund's
shares, preparation and filing of the Fund's prospectus and registration
statement, proxy materials and reports, setting the prospectus in type, setting
in type and printing the proxy materials and reports to shareholders (including
the costs of printing a prospectus that constitutes an annual report), the
preparation of all statements and notices required by any federal or state law,
and all taxes on the issuance or transfer of the Fund's shares.

                 5.3.     The Company shall bear the expenses of distributing
the Fund's prospectus, proxy materials and reports to owners of Contracts
issued by the Company.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                Diversification

                 6.1.     The Fund will at all times invest money from the
Contracts in such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as
variable contracts under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.
Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, the Fund will at all times comply
with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5, relating to
the diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life
insurance contracts and any amendments or other modifications to such Section
or Regulations.  In the event of a breach of this Article VI by the Fund, it
will take all reasonable steps (a) to notify Company of such breach and (b) to
adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance with the grace period
afforded by Regulation 1.817-5.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                              Potential Conflicts

                 7.1.     The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of
any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract
owners of all separate accounts investing in the Fund.  An irreconcilable
material conflict may arise for a variety of reasons,





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
including:  (a) an action by any state insurance regulatory authority; (b) a
change in applicable federal or state insurance, tax, or securities laws or
regulations, or a public ruling, private letter ruling, no-action or
interpretative letter, or any similar action by insurance, tax, or securities
regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or judicial decision in any
relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the investments of any Portfolio
are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by variable
annuity contract and variable life insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision
by an insurer to disregard the voting instructions of contract owners. The
Board shall promptly inform the Company if it determines that an irreconcilable
material conflict exists and the implications thereof.

                 7.2.     The Company will report any potential or existing
conflicts of which it is aware to the Board.  The Company will assist the Board
in carrying out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order,
by providing the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board
to consider any issues raised.  This includes, but is not limited to, an
obligation by the Company to inform the Board whenever contract owner voting
instructions are disregarded.

                 7.3.     If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a
majority of its disinterested trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict
exists, the Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their
expense and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority
of the disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including:  (1)
withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from
the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a
vote of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the
assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance
contract owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating
Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to
the affected contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2)
establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate
account.

                 7.4.     If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because
of a decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions
and that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority
vote, the Company may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the
affected Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with
respect to such Account; provided, however that such withdrawal and termination
shall be limited to the extent required by the foregoing material
irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested
members of the Board.  Any such withdrawal and termination must take place
within six (6) months after the Fund gives written notice that this provision
is being implemented, and until the end of that six month period the
Underwriter and Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the
Company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.





                                       11
<PAGE>   12
                 7.5.     If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because
a particular state insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company
conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then the Company will
withdraw the affected Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this
Agreement with respect to such Account within six months after the Board
informs the Company in writing that it has determined that such decision has
created an irreconcilable material conflict; provided, however, that such
withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the
foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board.  Until the end of the foregoing six month
period, the Underwriter and Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders
by the Company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.

                 7.6.     For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this
Agreement, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine
whether any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material
conflict, but in no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding
medium for the Contracts.  The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to
establish a new funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been
declined by vote of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected
by the irreconcilable material conflict.  In the event that the Board
determines that any proposed action does not adequately remedy any
irreconcilable material conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account's
investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after
the Board informs the Company in writing of the foregoing determination,
provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the
extent required by any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board.

                 7.7.     If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T)
are amended, or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any
provision of the Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed
or shared funding (as defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms
and conditions materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding
Exemptive Order, then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance
Companies, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply
with Rules 6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the
extent such rules are applicable; and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3,
7.4, and 7.5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that
terms and conditions substantially identical to such Sections are contained in
such Rule(s) as so amended or adopted.

                                Indemnification

                 8.1.  Indemnification By The Company

                 8.1(a).  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Fund and each trustee of the Board and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.1)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts
paid in settlement with the written consent of the Company) or litigation
(including legal and other expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may
become subject under any statute, regulation, at common law or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof) or settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of the
Fund's shares or the Contracts and:

                 (i)      arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements
                          or alleged untrue statements of any material fact
                          contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus
                          for the Contracts or contained in the Contracts or
                          sales literature for the Contracts (or any amendment
                          or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out
                          of or are based upon the omission or the alleged
                          omission to state therein a material fact required to
                          be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
                          therein not misleading, provided that this agreement
                          to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified
                          Party if such statement or omission or such alleged
                          statement or omission was made in reliance upon and
                          in conformity with information furnished to the
                          Company by or on behalf of the Fund for use in the
                          Registration Statement or prospectus for the
                          Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature (or
                          any amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in
                          connection with the sale of the Contracts or Fund
                          shares; or

                 (ii)     arise out of or as a result of statements or
                          representations (other than statements or
                          representations contained in the Registration
                          Statement, prospectus or sales literature of the Fund
                          not supplied by the Company, or persons under its
                          control) or wrongful conduct of the Company or
                          persons under its control, with respect to the sale
                          or distribution of the Contracts or Fund Shares; or

                 (iii)    arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
                          statement of a material fact contained in a
                          Registration Statement, prospectus, or sales
                          literature of the Fund or any amendment thereof or
                          supplement thereto or the omission or alleged
                          omission to state therein a material fact required to
                          be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
                          therein not misleading if such

<PAGE>   14
                          a statement or omission was made in reliance upon
                          information furnished to the Fund by or on behalf of
                          the Company; or

                 (iv)     arise as a result of any failure by the Company to
                          provide the services and furnish the materials under
                          the terms of this Agreement; or

                 (v)      arise out of or result from any material breach of
                          any representation and/or warranty made by the
                          Company in this Agreement or arise out of or result
                          from any other material breach of this Agreement by
                          the Company, as limited by and in accordance with the
                          provisions of Sections 8.1(b) and 8.1(c) hereof.

                 8.1(b).  The Company shall not be liable under this
         indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
         liabilities or litigation incurred or assessed against an Indemnified
         Party as such may arise from such Indemnified Party's willful
         misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such
         Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party's
         reckless disregard of obligations or duties under this Agreement or to
         the Fund, whichever is applicable.

                 8.1(c).  The Company shall not be liable under this
         indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an
         Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified
         the Company in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or
         other first legal process giving information of the nature of the
         claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after
         such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of such service on
         any designated agent), but failure to notify the Company of any such
         claim shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may
         have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought
         otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision.  In case
         any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the
         Company shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the
         defense of such action.  The Company also shall be entitled to assume
         the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in
         the action.  After notice from the Company to such party of the
         Company's decision to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified
         Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel
         retained by it, and the Company will not be liable to such party under
         this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred
         by such party independently in connection with the defense thereof
         other than reasonable costs of investigation.

                 8.1(d).  The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the
         Company of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against
         them in connection with the issuance or sale of the Fund Shares or the
         Contracts or the operation of the Fund.

                 8.2.     Indemnification by the Underwriter

<PAGE>   15
                 8.2(a).  The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.2)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts
paid in settlement with the written consent of the Underwriter) or litigation
(including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may
become subject under any statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect
thereof) or settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund's
shares or the Contracts and:

                 (i)      arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
                          or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
                          contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus
                          or sales literature of the Fund (or any amendment or
                          supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of
                          or are based upon the omission or the alleged
                          omission to state therein a material fact required to
                          be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
                          therein not misleading, provided that this agreement
                          to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified
                          Party if such statement or omission or such alleged
                          statement or omission was made in reliance upon and
                          in conformity with information furnished to the
                          Underwriter or Fund by or on behalf of the Company
                          for use in the Registration Statement or prospectus
                          for the Fund or in sales literature (or any amendment
                          or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection
                          with the sale of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

                 (ii)     arise out of or as a result of statements or
                          representations (other than statements or
                          representations contained in the Registration
                          Statement, prospectus or sales literature for the
                          Contracts not supplied by the Underwriter or persons
                          under its control) or wrongful conduct of the Fund,

                          statement of a material fact contained in a
                          Registration Statement, prospectus, or sales
                          literature covering the Contracts, or any amendment
                          thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or
                          alleged omission to state therein a material fact
                          required to be stated therein or necessary to make
                          the statement or statements therein not misleading,
                          if such statement or omission was made in reliance
                          upon information furnished to the Company by or on
                          behalf of the Fund; or

                 8.2(b).  The Underwriter shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be
subject by reason of such Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by
reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties
under this Agreement or to each Company or the Account, whichever is
applicable.

                 8.2(c).  The Underwriter shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified
Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Underwriter in
writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process
giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice
of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Underwriter
of any such claim shall not relieve the Underwriter from any liability which it
may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise
than on account of this indemnification provision.  In case any such action is
brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Underwriter will be entitled to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof.  The Underwriter also
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to
the party named in the action.  After notice from the Underwriter to such party
of the Underwriter's election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified
Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by
it, and the Underwriter will not be liable to such party under this Agreement
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such party
independently in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.

                 8.2(d).  The Company agrees promptly to notify the Underwriter
of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its
officers or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Contracts
or the operation of each Account.

                 8.3.     Indemnification By the Fund

                 8.3(a).  The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.3)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts
paid





                                       16
<PAGE>   17
in settlement with the written consent of the Fund) or litigation (including
legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject
under any statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements
result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Board
or any member thereof, be related to the operations of the Fund and:

                 (i)      arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to
                          provide the services and furnish the materials under
                          the terms of this Agreement (including a failure to
                          comply with the diversification requirements
                          specified in Article VI of this Agreement); or

                 (ii)     arise out of or result from any material breach of
                          any representation and/or warranty made by the Fund
                          in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any
                          other material breach of this Agreement by the Fund;

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.3(b) and
8.3(c) hereof.

                 8.3(b).  The Fund shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or litigation incurred or assessed against an Indemnified Party as
such may arise from such Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or
gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by
reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties
under this Agreement or to the Company, the Fund, the Underwriter or each
Account, whichever is applicable.

                 8.3(c).  The Fund shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified
Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Fund in writing
within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice
of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Fund of any
such claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which it may have to
the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on
account of this indemnification provision.  In case any such action is brought
against the Indemnified Parties, the Fund will be entitled to participate, at
its own expense, in the defense thereof.  The Fund also shall be entitled to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the
action.  After notice from the Fund to such party of the Fund's election to
assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and
expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Fund will not be
liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

                 8.3(d).  The Company and the Underwriter agree promptly to
notify the Fund of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it
or any of its respective officers or





                                       17

directors in connection with this Agreement, the issuance or sale of the
Contracts, with respect to the operation of either Account, or the sale or
acquisition of shares of the Fund.

                          parties; or

                 (b)      termination by the Company by written notice to the
                          Fund and the Underwriter with respect to any
                          Portfolio based upon the Company's determination that
                          shares of such Portfolio are not reasonably available
                          to meet the requirements of the Contracts; or

                 (c)      termination by the Company by written notice to the

                          applicable state and/or federal law or such law
                          precludes the use of such shares as the underlying
                          investment media of the Contracts issued or to be
                          issued by the Company; or

                          Fund and the Underwriter with respect to any
                          Portfolio in the event that such Portfolio ceases to
                          qualify as a Regulated Investment Company under
                          Subchapter M of the Code or under any successor or
                          similar provision, or if the Company reasonably
                          believes that the Fund may fail to so qualify; or

                          Fund and the Underwriter with respect to any
                          Portfolio in the event that such Portfolio fails to
                          meet the diversification requirements specified in
                          Article VI hereof; or

                 (f)      termination by either the Fund or the Underwriter by

                          determine, in their sole judgment exercised in good
                          faith, that the Company and/or its affiliated
                          companies has suffered a material adverse change in
                          its business, operations, financial condition or
                          prospects since the date of this Agreement or is the
                          subject of material adverse publicity; or

                 (g)      termination by the Company by written notice to the
                          Fund and the Underwriter, if the Company shall

                          faith, that either the Fund or the Underwriter has
                          suffered a material adverse change in its business,
                          operations, financial condition or prospects since
                          the date of this Agreement or is the subject of
                          material adverse publicity; or

                 (h)      termination by the Fund or the Underwriter by written
                          notice to the Company, if the Company gives the Fund
                          and the Underwriter the written notice specified in
                          Section 1.6(b) hereof and at the time such notice was
                          given there was no notice of termination outstanding
                          under any other provision of this Agreement;
                          provided, however any termination under this Section
                          10.1(h) shall be effective sixty (60) days after the
                          notice specified in Section 1.6(b) was given.

                 10.2.    Effect of Termination.  Notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, the Fund and the Underwriter shall at the option
of the Company, continue to make available additional shares of the Fund
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for all Contracts in
effect on the effective date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter
referred to as "Existing Contracts").  Specifically, without limitation, the
owners of the Existing Contracts shall be permitted to reallocate investments
in the Fund, redeem investments in the Fund and/or invest in the Fund upon the
making of additional purchase payments under the Existing Contracts.  The
parties agree that this Section 10.2 shall not apply to any terminations under
Article VII and the effect of such Article VII terminations shall be governed
by Article VII of this Agreement.

                 10.3     The Company shall not redeem Fund shares attributable
to the Contracts (as opposed to Fund shares attributable to the Company's
assets held in the Account) except (i) as necessary to implement Contract Owner
initiated or approved transactions, or (ii) as required by state and/or federal
laws or regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of general application





                                       19

(hereinafter referred to as a "Legally Required Redemption") or (iii) as
permitted by an order of the SEC pursuant to Section 26(b) of the 1940 Act.
Upon request, the Company will promptly furnish to the Fund and the Underwriter
the opinion of counsel for the Company (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Fund and the Underwriter) to the effect that any redemption
pursuant to clause (ii) above is a Legally Required Redemption.  Furthermore,
except in cases where permitted under the terms of the Contracts, the Company
shall not prevent Contract Owners from allocating payments to a Portfolio that
was otherwise available under the Contracts without first giving the Fund or
the Underwriter 90 days notice of its intention to do so.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                 12.1  All persons dealing with the Fund must look solely to

liability for obligations entered into on behalf of the Fund.

                 12.2     Subject to the requirements of legal process and
regulatory authority, each party hereto shall treat as confidential the names

<PAGE>   21
except as permitted by this Agreement, shall not disclose, disseminate or

time as it may come into the public domain without the express written consent
of the affected party.

                 12.3     The captions in this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and in no way define or delineate any of the
provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

                 12.4     This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two
or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

                 12.5     If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or
made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of
the Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

                 12.6     Each party hereto shall cooperate with each other

any investigation or inquiry relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.  Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, each

with the California Insurance Regulations and any other applicable law or
regulations.

                 12.7     The rights, remedies and obligations contained in
this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to any and all rights,
remedies and obligations, at law or in equity, which the parties hereto are
entitled to under state and federal laws.

                 12.8.    This Agreement or any of the rights and obligations
hereunder may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of
all parties hereto; provided, however, that the Underwriter may assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder to any affiliate of or company
under common control with the Underwriter, if such assignee is duly licensed
and registered to perform the obligations of the Underwriter under this
Agreement.  In the event that Underwriter assigns this Agreement it will make
reasonable efforts to inform Company in advance of the assignment of the
identity of its assignee and the effective date of the assignment.

                                  any), as soon as practical and in any event
                                  within 90 days after the end of each fiscal
                                  year;

                                  after the end of each quarterly period;

                          (c)     any financial statement, proxy statement,

                                  practical after the receipt thereof, unless
                                  the sharing of such material would subject
                                  the Company to the disclosure of confidential
                                  information.

                             PROXY VOTING PROCEDURE

The following is a list of procedures and corresponding responsibilities for
the handling of proxies relating to the Fund by the Underwriter, the Fund and
the Company.  The defined terms herein shall have the meanings assigned in the
Participation Agreement except that the term "Company" shall also include the
department or third party assigned by the Insurance Company to perform the
steps delineated below.

1.       The number of proxy proposals is given to the Company by the
         Underwriter as early as possible before the date set by the Fund for
         the shareholder meeting to facilitate the establishment of tabulation
         procedures.  At this time the Underwriter will inform the Company of
         the Record, Mailing and Meeting dates.  This will be done verbally
         approximately two months before meeting.

2.       Promptly after the Record Date, the Company will perform a "tape run",
         or other activity, which will generate the names, addresses and number
         of units which are attributed to each contractowner/policyholder (the
         "Customer") as of the Record Date.  Allowance should be made for
         account adjustments made after this date that could affect the status
         of the Customers' accounts as of the Record Date.

         Note:  The number of proxy statements is determined by the activities
         described in Step #2.  The Company will use its best efforts to call
         in the number of Customers to Fidelity, as soon as possible, but no
         later than two weeks after the Record Date.

3.       The Fund's Annual Report no longer needs to be sent to each Customer
         by the Company either before or together with the Customers' receipt
         of a proxy statement.  Underwriter will provide the last Annual Report
         to the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3 of the Agreement
         to which this Schedule relates.

4.       The text and format for the Voting Instruction Cards ("Cards" or
         "Card") is provided to the Company by the Fund.  The Company, at its
         expense, shall produce and personalize the Voting Instruction Cards.
         The Legal Department of the Underwriter or its affiliate ("Fidelity
         Legal") must approve the Card before it is printed.  Allow
         approximately 2-4 business days for printing information on the Cards.
         Information commonly found on the Cards includes:

                 a.       name (legal name as found on account registration)
                 b.       address
                 c.       Fund or account number
                 d.       coding to state number of units
                 e.       individual Card number for use in tracking and
                          verification of votes





                                      B-1
<PAGE>   26
                          (already on Cards as printed by the Fund)

(This and related steps may occur later in the chronological process due to
possible uncertainties relating to the proposals.)

5.       During this time, Fidelity Legal will develop, produce, and the Fund
         will pay for the Notice of Proxy and the Proxy Statement (one
         document).  Printed and folded notices and statements will be sent to
         Company for insertion into envelopes (envelopes and return envelopes
         are provided and paid for by the Insurance Company).  Contents of
         envelope sent to Customers by Company will include:

         a       Voting Instruction Card(s)
         b.      One proxy notice and statement (one document)
         c.      return envelope (postage pre-paid by Company) addressed to the
                 Company or its tabulation agent
         d.      "urge buckslip" - optional, but recommended.  (This is a
                 small, single sheet of paper that requests Customers to vote
                 as quickly as possible and that their vote is important.  One
                 copy will be supplied by the Fund.)
         e.      cover letter - optional, supplied by Company and reviewed and
                 approved in advance by Fidelity Legal.

6.       The above contents should be received by the Company approximately 3-5
         business days before mail date.  Individual in charge at Company
         reviews and approves the contents of the mailing package to ensure
         correctness and completeness.  Copy of this approval sent to Fidelity
         Legal.

7.       Package mailed by the Company.

         *       The Fund must allow at least a 15-day solicitation time to the
                 Company as the shareowner.  (A 5-week period is recommended.)
                 Solicitation time is calculated as calendar days from (but not
                 including) the meeting, counting backwards.

8.       Collection and tabulation of Cards begins.  Tabulation usually takes
         place in another department or another vendor depending on process
         used.  An often used procedure is to sort Cards on arrival by proposal
         into vote categories of all yes, no, or mixed replies, and to begin
         data entry.

         Note:  Postmarks are not generally needed.  A need for postmark
         information would be due to an insurance company's internal procedure
         and has not been required by Fidelity in the past.

9.       Signatures on Card checked against legal name on account registration
         which was printed on the Card.





                                      B-2
<PAGE>   27

         Note:  For example, if the account registration is under "Bertram C.
         Jones, Trustee," then that is the exact legal name to be printed on
         the Card and is the signature needed on the Card.

10.      If Cards are mutilated, or for any reason are illegible or are not
         signed properly, they are sent back to Customer with an explanatory
         letter, a new Card and return envelope.  The mutilated or illegible
         Card is disregarded and considered to be not received for purposes of
         vote tabulation.  Any Cards that have "kicked out" (e.g., mutilated,
         illegible) of the procedure are "hand verified," i.e., examined as to
         why they did not complete the system. Any questions on those Cards are
         usually remedied individually.

11.      There are various control procedures used to ensure proper tabulation
         of votes and accuracy of that tabulation.  The most prevalent is to
         sort the Cards as they first arrive into categories depending upon
         their vote; an estimate of how the vote is progressing may then be
         calculated.  If the initial estimates and the actual vote do not
         coincide, then an internal audit of that vote should occur.  This may
         entail a recount.

12.      The actual tabulation of votes is done in units which is then
         converted to shares.  (It is very important that the Fund receives the
         tabulations stated in terms of a percentage and the number of shares.)
         Fidelity Legal must review and approve tabulation format.

13.      Final tabulation in shares is verbally given by the Company to
         Fidelity Legal on the morning of the meeting not later than 10:00 a m.
         Boston time.  Fidelity Legal may request an earlier deadline if
         required to calculate the vote in time for the meeting.

14.      A Certification of Mailing and Authorization to Vote Shares will be
         required from the Company as well as an original copy of the final
         vote.  Fidelity Legal will provide a standard form for each
         Certification.

15.      The Company will be required to box and archive the Cards received
         from the Customers.  In the event that any vote is challenged or if
         otherwise necessary for legal, regulatory, or accounting purposes,
         Fidelity Legal will be permitted reasonable access to such Cards.

16.      All approvals and "signing-off" may be done orally, but must always be
         followed up in writing.

         WHEREAS, the Fund is registered as an open-end management investment

regulations, the Company intends to purchase shares in the Portfolios on behalf
of each Account to fund certain of the aforesaid variable life and variable
annuity contracts and the Underwriter is authorized to sell such shares to unit
investment trusts such as each Account at net asset value;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the
Company, the Fund and the Underwriter agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                              Sale of Fund Shares

         1.1.    The Underwriter agrees to sell to the Company those shares of
the Fund which each Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at
the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of
the order for the shares of the Fund.  For purposes of this Section 1.1, the
Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each
Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund;
provided that the Fund receives notice of such order by 9:00 a m. Boston time
on the next following Business Day.  "Business Day" shall mean any day on which
the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading





                                       2
<PAGE>   3
and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         1.2.    The Fund agrees to make its shares available indefinitely for
purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company and its
Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its net asset value
pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Fund shall
use reasonable efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day which  the
New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Board of Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter the "Board") may refuse to sell
shares of any Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of
shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory
authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Board
acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under federal and
any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders
of such Portfolio.

         1.3.    The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the Fund
will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate
accounts.  No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.

         1.4.    The Fund and the Underwriter will not sell Fund shares to any
insurance company or separate account unless an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as Articles I, III, V, VII and Section 25 of Article II
of this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales.

         1.5.    The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, on the Company's  request,
any full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Company, executing such
requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by
the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption.  For purposes of this
Section 1.5, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of
requests for redemption from each Account and receipt by such designee shall
constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund receives notice of such
request for redemption on the next following Business Day.

         1.6.    The Company agrees that purchases and redemptions of Portfolio
shares offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of such prospectus.  The Company agrees that all
net amounts available under the variable annuity contracts with the form
number(s) which are listed on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference, as such Schedule A may be amended from time to time
hereafter by mutual written agreement of all the parties hereto, (the
"Contracts") shall be invested in the Fund, in such other Funds advised by the
Adviser as may be mutually agreed to in writing by the parties hereto, or in
the Company's general account, provided that such amounts may also be invested
in an investment company other than the Fund if (a) such other investment
company, or series thereof, has investment objectives or policies that are
substantially different from the investment objectives and policies of all the
Portfolios of the Fund which are actually used by the Company to fund the
Contracts; or (b) the Company gives the Fund and the Underwriter 45 days
written notice of its intention to make such other investment company available
as a funding





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
vehicle for the Contracts; or (c) such other investment company was available
as a funding vehicle for the Contracts prior to the date of this Agreement and
the Company so informs the Fund and Underwriter prior to their signing this
Agreement (a list of such funds appearing on Schedule C to this Agreement); or
(d) the Fund or Underwriter consents to the use of such other investment
company.

         1.7.    The Company shall pay for Fund shares on the next Business Day
after an order to purchase Fund shares is made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1.1 hereof.  Payment shall be in federal funds
transmitted by wire.  For purpose of Section 2.10 and 2.11, upon receipt by the
Fund of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be the
responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the Fund.

         1.8.    Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by book
entry only.  Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or any
Account.  Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title
for each Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.

         1.9.    The Fund shall furnish same day notice (by wire or telephone,
followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income, dividends or
capital gain distributions payable on the Fund's shares.  The Company hereby
elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions as
are payable on the Portfolio shares in additional shares of that Portfolio.
The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such
income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.  The Fund shall notify
the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and
distributions.

         1.10.   The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for each
Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably
practical after the net asset value per share is calculated (normally by 6:30 p
m. Boston time) and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value per
share available by 7 p m. Boston time.

                                   ARTICLE II

                          Representations and Warranties

         2.1.    The Company represents and warrants that the Contracts are or
will be registered under the 1933 Act; that the Contracts will be issued and
sold in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Federal and
State laws and that the sale of the Contracts shall comply in all material
respects with state insurance suitability requirements.  The Company further
represents and warrants that it is an insurance company duly organized and in
good standing under applicable law and that it has legally and validly
established each Account prior to any issuance or sale thereof as a segregated
asset account under Section 175:132G of the Massachusetts Insurance Code and
has registered or, prior to any issuance or sale of the





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
Contracts, will register each Account as a unit investment trust in accordance
with the provisions of the 1940 Act to serve as a segregated investment account
for the Contracts.

         2.2.    The Fund represents and warrants that Fund shares sold
pursuant to this Agreement shall be registered under the 1933 Act, duly
authorized for issuance and sold in compliance with the laws of the State of
Massachusetts and all applicable federal and state securities laws and that the
Fund is and shall remain registered under the 1940 Act.  The Fund shall amend
the Registration Statement for its shares under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act
from time to time as required in order to effect the continuous offering of its
shares.  The Fund shall register and qualify the shares for sale in accordance
with the laws of the various states only if and to the extent deemed advisable
by the Fund or the Underwriter.

         2.3.    The Fund represents that it is currently qualified as a
Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, (the "Code") and that it will make every effort to maintain
such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or similar provision)
and that it will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis
for believing that it has ceased to so qualify or that it might not so qualify
in the future.

         2.4.    So long as the Fund complies with the diversification
requirements noted in Article VI, the Company represents that the Contracts are
currently treated as endowment, annuity or life insurance contracts, under
applicable provisions of the Code and that it will make every effort to
maintain such treatment and that it will notify the Fund and the Underwriter
immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the Contracts
have ceased to be so treated or that they might not be so treated in the
future.

         2.5.    The Fund currently does not intend to make any payments to
finance distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act or
otherwise, although it may make such payments in the future.  The Fund has
adopted a "no fee" or "defensive" Rule 12b-1 Plan under which it makes no
payments for distribution expenses.  To the extent that it decides to finance
distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund undertakes to have a
board of trustees, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Fund,
formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
expenses.

         2.6.    The Fund makes no representation as to whether any aspect of
its operations (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses and investment
policies) complies with the insurance laws or regulations of the various states
except that the Fund represents that the Fund's investment policies, fees and
expenses are and shall at all times remain in compliance with the laws of the
State of Massachusetts and Indiana and the Fund and the Underwriter represent
that their respective operations are and shall at all times remain in material
compliance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts to the extent required
to perform this Agreement.

         2.7.    The Underwriter represents and warrants that it is a member in
good standing of the NASD and is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC.
The Underwriter further represents that it will sell and distribute the Fund
shares in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts and all
applicable state and federal securities laws, including without limitation the
1933 Act, the 1934 Act, and the 1940 Act.

         2.8.    The Fund represents that it is lawfully organized and validly
existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that it does
and will comply in all material respects with the 1940 Act.

         2.9.    The Underwriter represents and warrants that the Adviser is
and shall remain duly registered in all material respects under all applicable
federal and state securities laws and that the Adviser shall perform its
obligations for the Fund in compliance in all material respects with the laws
of the State of Massachusetts and any applicable state and federal securities
laws.

         2.10.   The Fund and Underwriter represent and warrant that all of
their directors, officers, employees, investment advisers, and other
individuals/entities dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund are
and shall continue to be at all times covered by a blanket fidelity bond or
similar coverage for the benefit of the Fund in an amount not less than the
minimal coverage as required currently by Rule 17g-(1) of the 1940 Act or
related provisions as may be promulgated from time to time.  The aforesaid Bond
shall include coverage for larceny and embezzlement and shall be issued by a
reputable bonding company.

         2.11.   The Company represents and warrants that all of its directors,
officers, employees, investment advisers, and other individuals/entities
dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund are covered by a blanket
fidelity bond or similar coverage, and that said bond is issued by a reputable
bonding company, includes coverage for larceny and embezzlement, and is in an
amount not less than $5 million.  The Company agrees that any amounts received
under such bond in connection with claims that arise from the arrangements
described in this Agreement will be held by the Company for the benefit of the
Fund.  The Company agrees to make all reasonable efforts to see that this bond
or another bond containing these provisions is always in effect, and agrees to
notify the Fund and the Underwriter in the event that such coverage no longer
applies.

                                  ARTICLE III

                   Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting

         3.1.    The Underwriter shall provide the Company with as many printed
copies of the Fund's current prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
as the Company may reasonably request.  If requested by the Company in lieu
thereof, the Fund shall provide camera-ready film or computer diskettes
containing the Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and
such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company once
each year (or more frequently if the prospectus and/or Statement of Additional





                                       6
<PAGE>   7
Information for the Fund is amended during the year) to have the prospectus for
the Contracts and the Fund's prospectus printed together in one document, and
to have the Statement of Additional Information for the Fund and the Statement
of Additional Information for the Contracts printed together in one document.
Alternatively, the Company may print the Fund's prospectus and/or its Statement
of Additional Information in combination with other fund companies'
prospectuses and statements of additional information.  The Fund will make
reasonable efforts to create a separate prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information for each Portfolio, but does not guarantee that such prospectuses
or SAIs will be generated in any particular year.

Except as provided in the following three sentences, all expenses of printing
and distributing Fund prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information
shall be the expense of the Company.  For prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information provided by the Company to its existing owners of
Contracts in order to update disclosure as required by the 1933 Act and/or the
1940 Act, the cost of printing shall be borne by the Fund.  If the Company
chooses to receive camera-ready film or computer diskettes in lieu of receiving
printed copies of the Fund's prospectus, the Fund will reimburse the Company in
an amount equal to the product of A and B where A is the number of such
prospectuses distributed to owners of the Contracts, and B is the Fund's per
unit cost of typesetting and printing the Fund's prospectus.  The same
procedures shall be followed with respect to the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information.

         The Company agrees to provide the Fund or its designee with such
information as may be reasonably requested by the Fund to assure that the
Fund's expenses do not include the cost of printing any prospectuses or
Statements of Additional Information other than those actually distributed to
existing owners of the Contracts.

         3.2.    The Fund's prospectus shall state that the Statement of
Additional Information for the Fund is available from the Underwriter or the
Company (or in the Fund's discretion, the Prospectus shall state that such
Statement is available from the Fund).

         3.3.    The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company with
copies of its proxy statements, reports to shareholders, and other
communications (except for prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information, which are covered in Section 3.1) to shareholders in such quantity
as the Company shall reasonably require for distributing to Contract owners.

         3.4.    If and to the extent required by law the Company shall:

                 (i)      solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;

                 (ii)     vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions
                          received from Contract owners; and

                 (iii)    vote Fund shares for which no instructions have been
                          received in a particular separate account in the same
                          proportion as Fund shares of such





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
                          portfolio for which instructions have been received
                          in that separate account,

so long as and to the extent that the Securities and Exchange Commission
continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges
for variable contract owners.  The Company reserves the right to vote Fund
shares held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to the extent
permitted by law.  Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for
assuring that each of their separate accounts participating in the Fund
calculates voting privileges in a manner consistent with the standards set
forth on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference,
which standards will also be provided to the other Participating Insurance
Companies.

         3.5.    The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act
requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either
provide for annual meetings or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act
(although the Fund is not one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of that
Act) as well as with Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b).
Further, the Fund will act in accordance with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's interpretation of the requirements of Section 16(a) with respect
to periodic elections of trustees and with whatever rules the Commission may
promulgate with respect thereto.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         Sales Material and Information

         4.1.    The Company shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to
the Fund or its designee, each piece of sales literature or other promotional
material in which the Fund or its investment adviser or the Underwriter is
named, at least fifteen Business Days prior to its use.  No such material shall
be used if the Fund or its designee reasonably objects to such use within
fifteen Business Days after receipt of such material.

         4.2.    The Company shall not give any information or make any
representations or statements on behalf of the Fund or concerning the Fund in
connection with the sale of the Contracts other than the information or
representations contained in the registration statement or prospectus for the
Fund shares, as such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, or in reports or proxy statements for the Fund,
or in sales literature or other promotional material approved by the Fund or
its designee or by the Underwriter, except with the permission of the Fund or
the Underwriter or the designee of either.

         4.3.    The Fund, Underwriter, or its designee shall furnish, or shall
cause to be furnished, to the Company or its designee, each piece of sales
literature or other promotional material in which the Company and/or its
separate account(s), is named at least fifteen Business Days prior to its use.
No such material shall be used if the Company or its designee reasonably
objects to such use within fifteen Business Days after receipt of such
material.





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
         4.4.    The Fund and the Underwriter shall not give any information or
make any representations on behalf of the Company or concerning the Company,
each Account, or the Contracts other than the information or representations
contained in a registration statement or prospectus for the Contracts, as such
registration statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time
to time, or in published reports for each Account which are in the public
domain or approved by the Company for distribution to Contract owners, or in
sales literature or other promotional material approved by the Company or its
designee, except with the permission of the Company.

         4.5.    The Fund will provide to the Company at least one complete
copy of all registration statements, prospectuses, Statements of Additional
Information, reports, proxy statements, sales literature and other promotional
materials, applications for exemptions, requests for no-action letters, and all
amendments to any of the above, that relate to the Fund or its shares,
contemporaneously with the filing of such document with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or other regulatory authorities.

         4.6.    The Company will provide to the Fund at least one complete
copy of all registration statements, prospectuses, Statements of Additional
Information, reports, solicitations for voting instructions, sales literature
and other promotional materials, applications for exemptions, requests for no
action letters, and all amendments to any of the above, that relate to the
Contracts or each Account, contemporaneously with the filing of such document
with the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

         4.7.    For purposes of this Article IV, the phrase "sales literature
or other promotional material" includes, but is not limited to, any of the
following that refer to the Fund or any affiliate of the Fund:  advertisements
(such as material published, or designed for use in, a newspaper, magazine, or
other periodical, radio, television, telephone or tape recording, videotape
display, signs or billboards, motion pictures, or other public media), sales

any other advertisement, sales literature, or published article), educational
or training materials or other communications distributed or made generally

                                   ARTICLE V

                               Fees and Expenses

         5.1.    The Fund and Underwriter shall pay no fee or other
compensation to the Company under this agreement, except that if the Fund or
any Portfolio adopts and implements a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 to finance
distribution expenses, then the Underwriter may make payments to the Company or
to the underwriter for the Contracts if and in amounts agreed to by





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
the Underwriter in writing and such payments will be made out of existing fees
otherwise payable to the Underwriter, past profits of the Underwriter or other
resources available to the Underwriter.  No such payments shall be made
directly by the Fund.  Currently, no such payments are contemplated.

         5.2.    All expenses incident to performance by the Fund under this
Agreement shall be paid by the Fund.  The Fund shall see to it that all its
shares are registered and authorized for issuance in accordance with applicable
federal law and, if and to the extent deemed advisable by the Fund, in
accordance with applicable state laws prior to their sale.  The Fund shall bear
the expenses for the cost of registration and qualification of the Fund's
shares, preparation and filing of the Fund's prospectus and registration
statement, proxy materials and reports, setting the prospectus in type, setting
in type and printing the proxy materials and reports to shareholders (including
the costs of printing a prospectus that constitutes an annual report), the

and all taxes on the issuance or transfer of the Fund's shares.

         5.3.    The Company shall bear the expenses of distributing the Fund's
prospectus, proxy materials and reports to owners of Contracts issued by the
Company.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                Diversification

         6.1.    The Fund will at all times invest money from the Contracts in
such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as variable
contracts under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.  Without
limiting the scope of the foregoing, the Fund will at all times comply with
Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5, relating to the
diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance
contracts and any amendments or other modifications to such Section or
Regulations.  In the event of a breach of this Article VI by the Fund, it will
take all reasonable steps (a) to notify Company of such breach and (b) to
adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance with the grace period
afforded by Regulation 1.817-5.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                              Potential Conflicts

         7.1.    The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any
material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners
of all separate accounts investing in the Fund.  An irreconcilable material
conflict may arise for a variety of reasons, including:  (a) an action by any
state insurance regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or
state insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling,
private letter ruling, no-action or interpretative letter, or any similar
action by insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities;





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
(c) an administrative or judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the
manner in which the investments of any Portfolio are being managed; (e) a
difference in voting instructions given by variable annuity contract and
variable life insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision by an insurer to
disregard the voting instructions of contract owners.  The Board shall promptly
inform the Company if it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict
exists and the implications thereof.

         7.2.    The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of
which it is aware to the Board.  The Company will assist the Board in carrying
out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, by providing
the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider
any issues raised.  This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the
Company to inform the Board whenever contract owner voting instructions are
disregarded.

         7.3.    If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority
of its disinterested trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists,
the Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense
and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including: (1)
withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from
the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a
vote of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the
assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance
contract owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating
Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to
the affected contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2)
establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate
account.

         7.4.    If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a
decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and
that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote,
the Company may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the affected
Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to
such Account; provided, however that such withdrawal and termination shall be
limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable
conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board.
Any such withdrawal and termination must take place within six (6) months after
the Fund gives written notice that this provision is being implemented, and
until the end of that six month period the Underwriter and Fund shall continue
to accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase (and redemption)
of shares of the Fund.

         7.5.    If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a
particular state insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company
conflicts with the majority of other state





                                       11
<PAGE>   12
regulators, then the Company will withdraw the affected Account's investment in
the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account within six
months after the Board informs the Company in writing that it has determined
that such decision has created an irreconcilable material conflict; provided,
however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent
required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board.  Until the end of the
foregoing six month period, the Underwriter and Fund shall continue to accept
and implement orders by the Company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares
of the Fund.

         7.6.    For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether any
proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but
in no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the
Contracts.  The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new
funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote
of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the
irreconcilable material conflict.  In the event that the Board determines that
any proposed action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material
conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund
and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the
Company in writing of the foregoing determination, provided, however, that such
withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by any such
material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board.

         7.7.    If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are
amended, or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any
provision of the Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed
or shared funding (as defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms
and conditions materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding
Exemptive Order, then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance
Companies, as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply
with Rules 6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the
extent such rules are applicable; and (b) Sections 3.4, 3 5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3,
7.4, and 7.5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that
terms and conditions substantially identical to such Sections are contained in
such Rule(s) as so amended or adopted.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                Indemnification

         8.1.    Indemnification By The Company

         8.1(a). The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and
each trustee of the Board and officers and each person, if any, who controls
the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
8.1) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including
amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Company) or
litigation (including legal and other expenses), to which the Indemnified
Parties may become subject under any statute, regulation, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or
actions in respect thereof) or settlements are related to the sale or
acquisition of the Fund's shares or the Contracts and:

                 (i)   arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or
         alleged untrue statements of any material fact contained in the
         Registration Statement or prospectus for the Contracts or contained in
         the Contracts or sales literature for the Contracts (or any amendment
         or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based
         upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material
         fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein not misleading, provided that this agreement to indemnify
         shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or
         omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance
         upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by or
         on behalf of the Fund for use in the Registration Statement or
         prospectus for the Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature
         (or any amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection
         with the sale of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

                 (ii)  arise out of or as a result of statements or
         representations (other than statements or representations contained in
         the Registration Statement, prospectus or sales literature of the Fund
         not supplied by the Company, or persons under its control) or wrongful
         conduct of the Company or persons under its control, with respect to
         the sale or distribution of the Contracts or Fund Shares; or

                 (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
         statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement,
         prospectus, or sales literature of the Fund or any amendment thereof
         or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state
         therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading if such a statement or
         omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Fund
         by or on behalf of the Company; or

                 (iv)  arise as a result of any failure by the Company to
         provide the services and furnish the materials under the terns of this
         Agreement; or

                 (v)   arise out of or result from any material breach of any
         representation and/or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement
         or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this
         Agreement by the Company, as limited by and in accordance with the
         provisions of Sections 8.1(b) and 8.1(c) hereof.

         8.1(b).  The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
litigation incurred or assessed against an





                                       13
<PAGE>   14
Indemnified Party as such may arise from such Indemnified Party's willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such
Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless
disregard of obligations or duties under this Agreement or to the Fund,
whichever is applicable.

         8.1(c).  The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Company in writing within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice
of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Company of
any such claim shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may
have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise
than on account of this indemnification provision.  In case any such action is
brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Company shall be entitled to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such action.  The Company
also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory
to the party named in the Action.  After notice from the Company to such party
of the Company's election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party
shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and
the Company will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such party independently in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation.

         8.1(d).  The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the Company of
the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection
with the issuance or sale of the Fund Shares or the Contracts or the operation
of the Fund.

         8.2.  Indemnification by the Underwriter

         8.2(a).  The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.2)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts
paid in settlement with the written consent of the Underwriter) or litigation
(including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may
become subject under any statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect
thereof) or settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund's
shares or the Contracts and:

                 (i)      arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
                          or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
                          contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus
                          or sales literature of the Fund (or any amendment or
                          supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of
                          or are based upon the omission or the alleged
                          omission to state therein a material fact required to

                          be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
                          therein not misleading, provided that this agreement
                          to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified
                          Party if such statement or omission or such alleged
                          statement or omission was made in reliance upon and
                          in conformity with information furnished to the
                          Underwriter or Fund by or on behalf of the Company
                          for use in the Registration Statement or prospectus
                          for the Fund or in sales literature (or any amendment

                          with the sale of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

                 (ii)     arise out of or as a result of statements or

                          under its control) or wrongful conduct of the Fund,
                          Adviser or Underwriter or persons under their

                 (iii)    arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
                          statement of a material fact contained in a
                          Registration Statement, prospectus, or sales
                          literature covering the Contracts, or any amendment
                          thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or
                          alleged omission to state therein a material fact
                          required to be stated therein or necessary to make
                          the statement or statements therein not misleading,
                          if such statement or omission was made in reliance
                          upon information furnished to the Company by or on
                          behalf of the Fund; or

                 (iv)     arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to
                          provide the services and furnish the materials under
                          the terms of this Agreement (including a failure,
                          whether unintentional or in good faith or otherwise,
                          to comply with the diversification requirements
                          specified in Article VI of this Agreement); or

                 (v)      arise out of or result from any material breach of
                          any representation and/or warranty made by the
                          Underwriter in this Agreement or arise out of or
                          result from any other material breach of  this
                          Agreement by the Underwriter; as limited by and in
                          accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.2(b) and
                          8.2(c) hereof.

         8.2(b).  The Underwriter shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be
subject by reason of such Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by
reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties
under this Agreement or to each Company or the Account, whichever is
applicable.

         8.2(c).  The Underwriter shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified
Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Underwriter in
writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process
giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice
of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Underwriter
of any such claim shall not relieve the Underwriter from any liability which it
may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise
than on account of this indemnification provision.  In case any such action is
brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Underwriter will be entitled to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof.  The Underwriter also
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to
the party named in the action.  After notice from the Underwriter to such party
of the Underwriter's election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified
Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by
it, and the Underwriter will not be liable to such party under this Agreement
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such party
independently in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.

         8.2(d).  The Company agrees promptly to notify the Underwriter of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers
or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Contracts or the
operation of each Account.

         8.3(a).  The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.3) against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with
the written consent of the Fund) or litigation (including legal and other
expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any
statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements result
from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Board or any
member thereof, are related to the operations of the Fund and;

                 (i)      arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to
                          provide the services and furnish the materials under
                          the terms of this Agreement (including a failure to
                          comply with the diversification requirements
                          specified in Article VI of this Agreement); or

                 (ii)     arise out of or result from any material breach of
                          any representation and/or warranty made by the Fund
                          in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any
                          other material breach of this Agreement by the Fund;

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.3(b) and
8.3(c) hereof.

<PAGE>   17
         8.3(b).  The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
litigation incurred or assessed against an Indemnified Party as such may arise
from such Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith,  or gross
negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by reason
of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties under
this Agreement or to the Company, the Fund, the Underwriter or each Account,
whichever is applicable.

         8.3(c).  The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such Indemnified Party shall have notified  the Fund in writing within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice
of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Fund of any
such claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which it may have to
the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on
account of this indemnification provision.  In case any such action is brought
against the Indemnified Parties, the Fund will be entitled to participate, at
its own expense, in the defense thereof.  The Fund also shall be entitled to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the
action.  After notice from the Fund to such party of the Fund's election to
assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and
expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Fund will not be
liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

         8.3(d).  The Company and the Underwriter agree promptly to notify the
Fund of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of
its respective officers or directors in connection with this Agreement, the
issuance or sale of the Contracts, with respect to the operation of either
Account, or the sale or acquisition of shares of the Fund.

                                  Termination

         10.1.  This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until
the first to occur of:

         (a)     termination by any party for any reason by six months' advance
                 written notice delivered to the other parties; or

         (b)     termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and
                 the Underwriter with respect to any Portfolio based upon the
                 Company's determination that shares of such Portfolio are not
                 reasonably available to meet the requirements of the
                 Contracts; or

         (c)     termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and
                 the Underwriter with respect to any Portfolio in the event any
                 of the Portfolio's shares are not registered, issued or sold
                 in accordance with applicable state and/or federal law or such
                 law precludes the use of such shares as the underlying
                 investment media of the Contracts issued or to be issued by
                 the Company; or

         (d)     termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and
                 the Underwriter with respect to any Portfolio in the event
                 that such Portfolio ceases to qualify as a Regulated
                 Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code or under any
                 successor or similar provision, or if the Company reasonably
                 believes that the Fund may fail to so qualify; or

         (e)     termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and
                 the Underwriter with respect to any Portfolio in the event
                 that such Portfolio fails to meet the diversification
                 requirements specified in Article VI hereof; or

         (f)     termination by either the Fund or the Underwriter by written
                 notice to the Company, if either one or both of the Fund or
                 the Underwriter respectively, shall determine, in their sole
                 judgment exercised in good faith, that the Company and/or its
                 affiliated companies has suffered a material adverse change in
                 its business, operations, financial condition or prospects
                 since the date of this Agreement or is the subject of material
                 adverse publicity; or

         (g)     termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and
                 the Underwriter, if the Company shall determine, in its sole
                 judgment exercised in good faith, that either the Fund or the
                 Underwriter has suffered a material adverse change in its
                 business, operations, financial condition or prospects since
                 the date of this Agreement or is the subject of material
                 adverse publicity; or





                                       18
<PAGE>   19
         (h)     termination by the Fund or the Underwriter by written notice
                 to the Company, if the Company gives the Fund and the
                 Underwriter the written notice specified in Section 1.6(b)
                 hereof and at the time such notice was given there was no
                 notice of termination outstanding under any other provision of
                 this Agreement; provided, however any termination under this
                 Section 10.1(h) shall be effective sixty (60) days after the
                 notice specified in Section 1.6(b) was given.

         10.2.  Effect of Termination.  Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, the Fund and the Underwriter shall at the option of the Company,
continue to make available additional shares of the Fund pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, for all Contracts in effect on the effective
date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing
Contracts").  Specifically, without limitation, the owners of the Existing
Contracts shall be permitted to reallocate investments in the Fund, redeem
investments in the Fund and/or invest in the Fund upon the making of additional
purchase payments under the Existing Contracts.  The parties agree that this
Section 10.2 shall not apply to any terminations under Article VII and the
effect of such Article VII terminations shall be governed by Article VII of
this Agreement.

         10.3.  The Company shall not redeem Fund shares attributable to the
Contracts (as opposed to Fund shares attributable to the Company's assets held
in the Account) except (i) as necessary to implement Contract Owner initiated
or approved transactions, or (ii) as required by state and/or federal laws or
regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of general application
(hereinafter referred to as a "Legally Required Redemption") or (iii) as
permitted by an order of the SEC pursuant to Section 26(b) of the 1940 Act.
Upon request, the Company will promptly furnish to the Fund and the Underwriter
the opinion of counsel for the Company (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Fund and the Underwriter) to the effect that any redemption
pursuant to clause (ii) above is a Legally Required Redemption.  Furthermore,
except in cases where permitted under the terms of the Contracts, the Company
shall not prevent Contract Owners from allocating payments to a Portfolio that
was otherwise available under the Contracts without first giving the Fund or
the Underwriter 90 days notice of its intention to do so.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                    Notices

                             PROXY VOTING PROCEDURE


The following is a list of procedures and corresponding responsibilities for
the handling of proxies relating to the Fund by the Underwriter, the Fund and
the Company.  The defined terms herein shall have the meanings assigned in the
Participation Agreement except that the term "Company" shall also include the
department or third party assigned by the Insurance Company to perform the
steps delineated below.

1.       The number of proxy proposals is given to the Company by the
         Underwriter as early as possible before the date set by the Fund for
         the shareholder meeting to facilitate the establishment of tabulation
         procedures.  At this time the Underwriter will inform the Company of
         the Record, Mailing and Meeting dates.  This will be done verbally
         approximately two months before meeting.

2.       Promptly after the Record Date, the Company will perform a "tape run",
         or other activity, which will generate the names, addresses and number
         of units which are attributed to each contractowner/policyholder (the
         "Customer") as of the Record Date.  Allowance should be made for
         account adjustments made after this date that could affect the status
         of the Customers' accounts as of the Record Date.

         Note:  The number of proxy statements is determined by the activities
         described in Step #2.  The Company will use its best efforts to call
         in the number of Customers to Fidelity, as soon as possible, but no
         later than two weeks after the Record Date.

3.       The Fund's Annual Report no longer needs to be sent to each Customer
         by the Company either before or together with the Customers' receipt
         of a proxy statement.  Underwriter will provide the last Annual Report
         to the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3 of the Agreement
         to which this Schedule relates.

4.       The text and format for the Voting Instruction Cards ("Cards" or
         "Card") is provided to the Company by the Fund.  The Company, at its
         expense, shall produce and personalize the Voting Instruction Cards.
         The Legal Department of the Underwriter or its affiliate ("Fidelity
         Legal") must approve the Card before it is printed.  Allow
         approximately 2-4 business days for printing information on the Cards.
         Information commonly found on the Cards includes:

                 a.       name (legal name as found on account registration)
                 b.       address
                 c.       Fund or account number
                 d.       coding to state number of units





                                      B-1
<PAGE>   25
                 e.       individual Card number for use in tracking and
                          verification of votes (already on Cards as printed by
                          the Fund)

(This and related steps may occur later in the chronological process due to
possible uncertainties relating to the proposals.)

5.       During this time, Fidelity Legal will develop, produce, and the Fund
         will pay for the Notice of Proxy and the Proxy Statement (one
         document).  Printed and folded notices and  statements will be sent to
         Company for insertion into envelopes (envelopes and return envelopes
         are provided and paid for by the Insurance Company).  Contents of
         envelope sent to Customers by Company will include:

         a.      Voting Instruction Card(s)
         b.      One proxy notice and statement (one document)
         c.      return envelope (postage pre-pad by Company) addressed to the
                 Company or its tabulation agent
         d.      "urge buckslip" - optional, but recommended.  (This is a
                 small, single sheet of paper that requests Customers to vote
                 as quickly as possible and that their vote is important.  One
                 copy will be supplied by the Fund.)
         e.      cover letter - optional, supplied by Company and reviewed and
                 approved in advance by Fidelity Legal.

6.       The above contents should be received by the Company approximately 3-5
         business days before mail date.  Individual in charge at Company
         review and approves the contents of the mailing package to ensure
         correctness and completeness.  Copy of this approval sent to Fidelity
         Legal.

7.       Package mailed by the Company.

         *       The Fund must allow at least a 15-day solicitation time to the
                 Company as the shareowner.  (A 5-week period is recommended.)
                 Solicitation time is calculated as calendar days from (but not
                 including) the meeting, counting backwards.

8.       Collection and tabulation of Cards begins.  Tabulation usually takes
         place in another department or another vendor depending on process
         used.  An often used procedure is to sort Cards on arrival by proposal
         into vote categories of all yes, no, or mixed replies, and to begin
         data entry.

         Note:  Postmarks are not generally needed.  A need for postmark
         information would be due to an insurance company's internal procedure
         and has not been required by Fidelity in the past.





                                      B-2
<PAGE>   26
9.       Signatures on Card checked against legal name on account registration
         which was printed on the Card.

         Note:  For Example, if the account registration is under "Bertram C.
         Jones, Trustee," then that is the exact legal name to be printed on
         the Card and is the signature needed on the Card.

10.      If Cards are mutilated, or for any reason are illegible or are not
         signed properly, they are sent back to Customer with an explanatory
         letter, a new Card and return envelope.  The mutilated or illegible
         Card is disregarded and considered to be not received for purposes of
         vote tabulation.  Any Cards that have "kicked out" (e.g., mutilated,
         illegible) of the procedure are "hand verified," i.e., examined as to
         why they did not complete the system.  Any questions on those Cards
         are usually remedied individually.

11.      There are various control procedures used to ensure proper tabulation
         of votes and accuracy of that tabulation.  The most prevalent is to
         sort the Cards as they first arrive into categories depending upon
         their vote; an estimate of how the vote is progressing may then be
         calculated.  If the initial estimates and the actual vote do not
         coincide, then an internal audit of that vote should occur. This may
         entail a recount.

12.      The actual tabulation of votes is done in units which is then
         converted to shares.  (It is very important that the Fund receives the
         tabulations stated in terms of a percentage and the number of shares.)
         Fidelity Legal must review and approve tabulation format.

13.      Final tabulation in shares is verbally given by the Company to
         Fidelity Legal on  the morning of the meeting not later than 10:00 a
         m. Boston time.  Fidelity Legal may request an earlier deadline if
         required to calculate the vote in time for the meeting.

14.      A Certification of Mailing and Authorization to Vote Shares will be
         required from the Company as well as an original copy of the final
         vote.  Fidelity Legal will provide a standard form for each
         Certification.

15.      The Company will be required to box and archive the Cards received
         from the Customers.  In the event that any vote is challenged or if
         otherwise necessary for legal, regulatory, or accounting purposes,
         Fidelity Legal will be permitted reasonable access to such Cards.

16.      All approvals and "signing-off" may be done orally, but must always be
         followed up in writing.

                          FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

IL Annuity and Insurance Company ("Insurance Company"), Van Eck Worldwide
Insurance Trust ("Trust") and the Trust's investment adviser, Van Eck
Associates Corporation ("Adviser") hereby agree that shares of the series of
the Trust as listed on Exhibit A, as it may from time to time be amended
("Portfolios"), shall be made available to serve as an underlying investment
medium for Individual Deferred Variable Annuity Contracts ("Contracts") to be
offered by Insurance Company subject to the following provisions:

1.       Insurance Company represents that it has established the IL Annuity
         and Insurance Co. Separate Account 1 (the "Variable Account") as a
         separate account under Massachussetts law, and has registered it as a
         unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940
         Act") to serve as an investment vehicle for the Contracts.  The
         Contracts provide for the allocation of net amounts received by
         Insurance Company to separate series of the Variable Account for
         investment in the shares of specified investment companies selected
         among those companies available through the Variable Account to act as
         underlying investment media.  Selection of a particular investment
         company is made by the Contract owner who may change such selection
         from time to time in accordance with the terms of the applicable
         Contract.

2.       The Insurance Company represents and warrants that the Contracts are
         or will be registered under the 1933 Act; and that the Contracts will
         be issued and sold in compliance in all material respects will all
         applicable Federal and State laws.  The Insurance Company further
         represents and warrants that it is an insurance company duly organized
         and in good standing under applicable law.

3.       The Trust represents and warrants that Portfolio shares sold pursuant
         to this Agreement shall be registered under the 1933 Act, duly
         authorized for issuance and sold to the Insurance Company in
         compliance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the
         laws of the Insurance Company's state of domicile and all applicable
         federal and state securities laws, and that the Trust is and shall
         remain, while Portfolio shares are offered for sale, registered under
         the 1940 Act.  The Trust shall amend the Registration Statement for
         its shares under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act from time to time as
         required in order to effect the continuous offering of its shares.
         The Trust shall register and qualify Portfolio shares for sale in
         accordance with the laws of the various states if and to the extent
         required by applicable law.

4.       The Trust represents that it is currently qualified as a Regulated
         Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
         1986, as amended (the "Code"), and that it will make every effort to
         maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or
         similar provision), and that it will notify the Insurance Company
         immediately in the event that there is a reasonable basis for
         believing that the Trust has ceased to so qualify or that it might not
         so qualify in the future.
<PAGE>   2
5.       Subject to Section 20 hereof, the Insurance Company represents that
         the Contracts are currently treated as endowment, life insurance, or
         annuity contracts under applicable provisions of the Code, and that it
         will make every effort to maintain such treatment, and that it will
         notify the Trust immediately upon having a reasonable basis for
         believing that the Contracts have ceased to be so treated or that they
         might not be so treated in the future.

6.       The Trust currently does not intend to make any payments to finance
         distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act or
         otherwise, although it may make such payments in the future.  To the
         extent that it decides to finance distribution expenses pursuant to a
         Rule 12b-1 plan, the Trust undertakes to have the Board of Trustees, a
         majority of whom are not interested persons of the Trust, formulate
         and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
         expenses.  In the event that the Trust determines to finance
         distribution expenses pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan, the Trust shall
         immediately notify the Insurance Company.

7.       The Trust and the Adviser have provided Insurance Company certain
         written information requested by Insurance Company and represent that
         the information is accurate in all material respects as of the date
         provided; further the Trust represents and warrants that its
         investment policies, fees and expenses are and shall at all times
         remain in compliance with insurance and other applicable laws of
         Insurance Company's state of domicile and any other applicable state,
         to the extent such laws are specifically identified to Trust and
         Adviser in writing by Insurance Company.

8.       The Adviser represents and warrants that it is and shall remain duly
         registered under all applicable federal and state securities laws and
         that it shall perform its obligations to the Trust in compliance in
         all material respects with the securities laws of the Commonwealth of
         Massachusetts and any applicable state and federal securities laws.

9.       The Trust represents that it is lawfully organized and validly
         existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that
         it does and will comply in all material respects with the 1940 Act.

10.      The Adviser represents and warrants that the Trust's principal
         underwriter, Van Eck Securities Corporation ("Underwriter"), is
         registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, and is a member in good
         standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  The
         Adviser further represents and warrants that the Underwriter is and
         shall remain duly registered in all material respects under all
         applicable federal and state securities laws and that the Underwriter
         shall perform its obligations to the Trust in compliance in all
         material respects with the securities laws of the Insurance Company's
         state of domicile and any applicable state and federal securities
         laws.

11.      Insurance Company agrees to make every reasonable effort to market its
         Contracts.  It will use its best efforts to give equal emphasis and
         promotion to shares of the Trust as is given to other underlying
         investments of the Variable Account.  In marketing its Contracts,
         Insurance Company will comply with all applicable state or Federal
         laws.

12.      The Trust or the Adviser will provide closing net asset value,
         dividend and capital gain information at the close of trading each
         business day (in any event, by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time) to Insurance
         Company.  Insurance Company will use this data to calculate unit
         values, which will in turn be used to process that same business day's
         Variable Account unit value.  Any error in the calculation of the
         Trust's net asset value per share shall be reported immediately to the
         Insurance Company.  The Variable Account processing will be done the
         same evening, and orders will be placed the morning of the following
         business day.  Orders will be sent directly to the Trust or its
         specified agent.  The Trust will sell to Insurance Company those
         shares of the Portfolios which the Variable Account orders at the
         applicable net asset value next computed pursuant to the rules of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); provided, however, that
         the Trust reserves the right to reject a purchase order if such action
         is required by law or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or
         is, in the sole discretion of the Trust's officers, acting in good
         faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under federal and any
         applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the
         shareholders of the Portfolio.  For purposes of this section,
         Insurance Company shall be the designee of the Trust for receipt of
         purchase orders, and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt
         by the Trust.  "Business day" shall mean any day on which the New York
         Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Trust calculates
         the net asset value of the Portfolios pursuant to the rules of the
         SEC.  Dividends and capital gains distributions shall be reinvested in
         additional shares at the ex-date net asset value.

13.      The Trust agrees to redeem for cash, on Insurance Company's request,
         any full or fractional shares of the Portfolios, executing such
         requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after
         receipt by the Trust or its designee of the request for redemption.
         For purposes of this section, Insurance Company shall be the designee
         of the Trust for receipt of requests for redemption and receipt by
         such designee shall constitute receipt by the Trust.

14.      Insurance Company shall pay for Portfolio shares on the next Business
         Day after an order to purchase Trust shares is made in accordance with
         the provisions of Section 12 hereof.  Payment shall be in federal
         funds transmitted by wire and/or by a credit for any shares redeemed
         the same day as the purchase.

15.      The Trust shall normally pay and transmit the proceeds of redemptions
         of Portfolio shares on the next Business Day after a redemption order
         is received in accordance with Section 13 hereof.  Payment shall be in
         federal funds transmitted by wire and/or a credit for any shares
         purchased the same day as the redemption.

16.      All expenses incident to the performance by the Trust under this
         Agreement shall be paid by the Trust.  The Trust shall pay the cost of
         registration of Trust shares with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission ("SEC").  The Trust shall distribute, to the Variable
         Account, sufficient quantities of Trust proxy material, periodic Trust
         reports to shareholders and other material the Trust may require to be
         sent to Contract owners.  The Trust shall pay the cost of qualifying
         Trust shares in states where required.  The Trust shall provide to the
         Insurance Company on printer-ready diskette the Trust's current
         prospectus(es) describing only the Portfolios listed on Exhibit A
         hereto (a "Stand-Alone Prospectus") in order for the Insurance Company
         once each year (or more frequently if the prospectus for the Trust is
         amended more frequently) to have the prospectus for the Contracts and
         the Stand-Alone Prospectus printed together in one document.  The
         Trust shall provide the Insurance Company with a copy of the Trust's
         Statement of Additional Information suitable for duplication.  The
         Trust or the Adviser shall bear the expense of printing or reproducing
         copies of the Trust's prospectus(es) and statement of additional
         information that will be distributed to existing Contract owners who
         are also beneficial owners of the Trust's shares, and the Insurance
         Company shall bear the expense of printing or reproducing copies of
         the Trust's prospectus(es) and statement of additional information
         that are used in connection with offering the Contracts.

17.      Insurance Company and its agents shall make no representations
         concerning the Trust or Trust shares except those contained in the
         then current Registration Statement, prospectus(es), or statement of
         additional information of the Trust, as such Registration Statement or
         prospectus or statement of additional information may be amended or
         supplemented from time to time, or in current printed sales literature
         or promotional material (in accordance with any limitation contained
         therein) approved by the Adviser, the Trust, or their respective
         designee, except with the permission of the Adviser or the Trust.

18.      The Trust, the Adviser, and their respective agents shall make no
         representations concerning the Insurance Company, the Variable
         Account, or the Contracts, except those contained in the then-current
         Registration Statement, prospectus(es), or statement of additional
         information for the Contracts and the Variable Account, as such
         Registration Statement or prospectus or statement of additional
         information may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or in
         current printed sales literature or promotional material (in
         accordance with any limitation contained therein) approved by the
         Insurance Company or its respective designee, except with the
         permission of the Insurance Company or its designee.

19.      Administrative services to Contract owners shall be the responsibility
         of Insurance Company, and shall not be the responsibility of the Trust
         or the Adviser.  The Trust and Adviser recognize that Insurance
         Company will be the sole shareholder of Trust shares issued pursuant
         to the Contracts.  Such arrangement will result in multiple share
         orders.

20.      The Trust and the Adviser represent and warrant that each Portfolio of
         the Trust complies, and shall continue to comply, with Sections 817(h)
         and 851 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if applicable,
         Subchapter M of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and the
         applicable provisions of the 1940 Act relating to the diversification
         requirements for variable annuity, endowment, and life insurance
         contracts.  Upon request, the Trust shall provide Insurance Company
         with a letter from the appropriate Trust officer certifying the
         Trust's compliance with the diversification requirements and
         qualification as a regulated investment company.

21.      The Trust or Adviser will notify Insurance Company immediately upon
         having a reasonable basis for believing that the Trust or any
         Portfolio has ceased to comply with the aforesaid Section 817(h)
         diversification or Subchapter M qualification requirements or might
         not so comply in the future.

22.      Insurance Company agrees to inform the Board of Trustees of the Trust
         of the existence of, or any potential for, any material irreconcilable
         conflict of interest between the interests of the Contract owners of
         the Variable Account investing in the Trust and/or any other separate
         account of any other insurance company investing in the Trust.

         The Board of Trustees of the Trust shall monitor the Trust for the
         existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the
         interests of the Contract owners of all separate accounts investing in
         the Trust.  A material irreconcilable conflict may arise for a variety
         of reasons, including:

         (a)     an action by any state insurance or other regulatory
                 authority;

         (b)     a change in applicable federal or state insurance, tax or
                 securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private
                 letter ruling, or any similar action by insurance, tax or
                 securities regulatory authorities;

         (c)     an administrative or judicial decision in any relevant
                 proceeding;

         (d)     the manner in which the investments of any Portfolio are being
                 managed;

         (e)     a difference in voting instructions given by the Contract
                 owners and variable annuity insurance contract owners or by
                 variable annuity or life insurance contract owners of
                 different life insurance companies utilizing the Trust; or

         (f)     a decision by Insurance Company to disregard the voting
                 instructions of contract owners.





                                       5

Insurance Company will be responsible for assisting the Board of Trustees of
the Trust in carrying out its responsibilities by providing the Board with all
information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issue raised,
including information as to a decision by Insurance Company to disregard voting
instructions of Contract owners.

It is agreed that if it is determined by a majority of the members of the Board
of Trustees of the Trust or a majority of its disinterested Trustees that a
material irreconcilable conflict exists affecting Insurance Company , Insurance
Company shall, at its own expense, take whatever steps are necessary to remedy
or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, which steps may include, but
are not limited to,

         (a)     withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the
                 separate accounts from the Trust or any Portfolio and
                 reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium,
                 including another Portfolio of the Trust or submitting the
                 questions of whether such segregation should be implemented to
                 a vote of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate,
                 segregating the assets of any particular group (i.e., annuity
                 Contract owners, life insurance Contract owners or qualified
                 Contract owners) that votes in favor of such segregation, or
                 offering to the affected Contract owners the option of making
                 such a change;

         (b)     establishing a new registered management investment company 
                 or managed separate account.

If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of Insurance Company's
decision to disregard Contract owner voting instructions and that decision
represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, Insurance
Company may be required, at the Trust's election, to withdraw the Variable
Account's investment in the Trust.  No charge or penalty will be imposed
against the Variable Account as a result of such withdrawal.  Insurance Company
agrees that any remedial action taken by it in resolving any material conflicts
of interest will be carried out with a view only to the interests of Contract
owners.

For purposes hereof, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of
Trustees of the Trust shall determine whether any proposed action adequately
remedies any material irreconcilable conflict.  In no event will the Trust be
required to establish a new funding medium for any Contracts.  Insurance
Company shall not be required by the terms hereof to establish a new funding
medium for any Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of
majority of Contract owners adversely affected by the irreconcilable material
conflict.

The Trust will undertake to promptly make known to Insurance Company the Board
of Trustees' determination of the existence of a material irreconcilable
conflict and its implications.

23.      (a)     This Agreement may be terminated as to the sale and issuance
                 of new Contracts:

                 (1)      at the option of Insurance Company, the Adviser or
                          the Trust, upon six months' advance written notice to
                          the other parties;

                 (2)      at the option of Insurance Company, if Trust shares
                          are not available for any reason to meet the
                          requirements of Contracts as determined by Insurance
                          Company.  Reasonable advance notice of election to
                          terminate shall be furnished by Insurance Company;

                 (3)      at the option of Insurance Company, the Adviser or
                          the Trust, upon institution of formal proceedings
                          against the Broker-Dealer or Broker-Dealers marketing
                          the Contracts, the Variable Account, the Insurance
                          Company, the Adviser or the Trust by the National
                          Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD"), the SEC
                          or any other regulatory body;

                 (4)      upon a decision by Insurance Company, in accordance
                          with regulations of the SEC, to substitute such Trust
                          shares with the shares of another investment company
                          for Contracts for which the Trust shares have been
                          selected to serve as the underlying investment
                          medium.  Insurance Company will give 60 days' written
                          notice to the Trust and the Adviser of any proposed
                          action to replace Trust shares;

                 (5)      upon assignment of this Agreement unless made with
                          the written consent of each other party;

                 (6)      in the event Trust shares are not registered, issued
                          or sold in conformance with Federal law or such law
                          precludes the use of Trust shares as an underlying
                          investment medium of Contracts issued or to be issued
                          by Insurance Company.  Prompt notice shall be given
                          by either party to the other in the event the
                          conditions of this provision occur.

                 (7)      at the option of Insurance Company by written notice
                          to the Trust and Adviser with respect to any
                          Portfolio in the event that such Portfolio fails to
                          meet the Section 817(h) diversification requirements
                          or Subchapter M qualifications specified in Section
                          20 hereof or if Insurance Company reasonably believes
                          that the Portfolio may fail to meet either of those
                          requirements;

                 (8)      at the option of Insurance Company by written notice
                          to the Trust and Adviser, if Insurance Company shall
                          determine, in its sole judgment exercised in good
                          faith, that the Trust or Adviser has suffered a
                          material adverse change in its business, operations,
                          financial condition or prospects

                          since the date of this Agreement or is the subject 
                          of material adverse publicity; or

                 (9)      at the option of the Trust or Adviser by written
                          notice to Insurance Company, if the Trust or Adviser
                          shall determine, in its sole judgment exercised in
                          good faith, that the Insurance Company has suffered a
                          material adverse change in its business, operations,
                          financial condition or prospects since the date of
                          this Agreement or is the subject of material adverse
                          publicity.

         (b)     This Agreement may be terminated as to existing Contracts:

                 (1)      at the option of  Insurance Company, the Adviser, or
                          the Trust, upon six months' advance written notice to
                          the other parties, provided that such termination
                          shall not be effective unless and until all
                          regulatory approvals necessary in light of such
                          termination, including any necessary order of the SEC
                          pursuant to Section 26(b) of the 1940 Act have been
                          obtained.

                 (2)      in accordance with the terms of Section 22 of this 
                          Agreement; or

                 (3)      as required by state and/or federal laws or
                          regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of
                          general application.

24.      (a)     Termination of this Agreement with respect to the sale and
                 issuance of new Contracts only shall not affect the Trust's
                 obligation to furnish Trust shares for Contracts then in force
                 for which the shares of the Trust serve or may serve as an
                 underlying medium.  Specifically, and without limitation, the
                 owners of Contracts then in force shall be permitted to
                 reallocate investments in the Trust, redeem investments in the
                 Trust and/or invest in the Trust upon the making of additional
                 purchase payments under the Contracts then in force.  The
                 purchase and redemption of Trust shares pursuant to this
                 Section 24 shall be effected in accordance with the terms of
                 this Agreement.  The parties agree that this section shall not
                 apply to any terminations under Section 22 and the effect of
                 such Section 22 terminations shall be governed by Section 22
                 of this Agreement.  Termination of this Agreement with respect
                 to existing Contracts shall not affect the Trust's obligation
                 to furnish shares in connection with the reinvestment of
                 dividends and other distributions with respect to existing
                 Portfolio shares.

         (b)     Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, each
                 party's obligation under Section 28 to indemnify other parties
                 shall survive and not be affected by any termination of this
                 Agreement.  A successor by law of the parties to this
                 Agreement shall be entitled to the benefits of the
                 indemnification contained in Section 28.

26.      Advertising and sales literature with respect to the Trust prepared by
         Insurance Company or its agents for use in marketing its Contracts
         will be submitted to the Trust for review before such material is
         submitted to the SEC or NASD for review.  Advertising and sales
         literature that refers to the Insurance Company, the Variable Account,
         or the Contracts that is prepared by the Trust, the Adviser, or any

27.      Insurance Company will distribute all proxy material furnished by the
         Trust and will vote Trust shares in accordance with instructions
         received from the Contract owners of such Thrust shares.  Insurance
         Company shall vote the Trust shares for which no instructions have
         been received in the same proportion as Trust shares for which said
         instructions have been received from Contract owners so long as and to
         the extent that the SEC continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require
         pass-through voting privileges for Contract owners.  The Insurance
         Company reserves the right to vote Trust shares held in any segregated
         asset account in its own right, if and to the extent permitted by law.
         Subject to any legal requirements, Insurance Company and its agents
         will in no way recommend action in connection with or oppose or
         interfere with the solicitation of proxies for the Trust shares held
         for such Contract owners.

28.      (a)     Insurance Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
                 Trust, the Adviser, and each of its trustees, directors,
                 officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who

                 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
                 liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
                 are based upon

                 (i)      any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
                          any material fact contained in written information
                          furnished by Insurance Company specifically for use
                          in the Registration Statement or prospectus of the

                          for the Variable Account, or arise out of or are
                          based upon the omission or the alleged omission to
                          state therein a material fact required to be stated
                          therein or necessary to make the statements therein
                          not misleading; or

                 (ii)     arise out of or as a result of conduct, statement or
                          representations (other than statements or
                          representations contained in the Trust's registration
                          statement or prospectus, or sales literature of the

                          this Agreement;

                 and Insurance Company will reimburse any legal or other
                 expenses reasonably incurred by a Trust Indemnified Person in
                 connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
                 claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that
                 the Insurance Company  will not be liable in any such case to
                 the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
                 arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission
                 or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement or
                 prospectus for the Contracts and the Variable Account  in
                 conformity with written information furnished to the Insurance
                 Company by the Trust or its designee specifically for use
                 therein or in Insurance Company-prepared sales literature.
                 This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
                 which Insurance Company may otherwise have.

         (b)     The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Insurance
                 Company and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents
                 and each person, if any, who controls Insurance Company within
                 the meaning of the Act (Insurance Company and such persons
                 collectively, "Insurance Company Indemnified Person") against
                 any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which an
                 Insurance Company Indemnified Person may become subject, under
                 the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages

                          any material fact contained in written information
                          furnished by the Trust or its designee specifically

                          misleading; or

                 (ii)     arise out of or as a result of conduct, statements or
                          representations of the Trust or its agents with
                          respect to the sales of Trust shares; or

                 (iii)    arise out of or are based upon the failure to keep
                          the Trust and each of the Portfolios fully
                          diversified and qualified as a regulated investment
                          company as required by the applicable provision of
                          the Internal Revenue Code, the Investment Company Act
                          of 1940, and any other law or regulation; or

                 (iv)     arise out of Trust's material breach of this
                          Agreement;

                 and the Trust will reimburse any legal or other expenses
                 reasonably incurred by an Insurance Company Indemnified Person
                 in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
                 claim, damage liability or action; provided, however, that the
                 Trust will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
                 any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
                 based upon an untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
                 made in the Registration Statement or prospectus for the Trust
                 in conformity with written information furnished to the Trust
                 by Insurance Company specifically for use therein or in
                 Trust-prepared sales literature. This indemnity agreement will
                 be in addition to any liability which the Trust may otherwise
                 have.

         (c)     The Adviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
                 Insurance Company Indemnified Person against any losses,
                 claims, damages or liabilities to which an Insurance Company
                 Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Act or
                 otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
                 liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
                 are based upon

                 (i)      any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
                          any material fact contained in written information
                          furnished by the Trust or its designee specifically
                          for use in the Registration Statement or prospectus
                          for the Contracts and the Variable Account, or in the
                          Registration Statement or prospectus or sales
                          literature of the Trust, or arise out of or are based
                          upon the omission or the alleged omission to state
                          therein a material fact





                                       11

                          required to be stated therein or necessary to make 
                          the statements therein not misleading; or

                 (ii)     arise out of or as a result of conduct, statements or
                          representations of the Adviser or its agents with
                          respect to the sales of Trust shares; or

                 (iii)    arise out of or are based upon the failure of the
                          Trust and each Portfolio to remain fully diversified
                          and qualified as a regulated investment company as
                          required by the applicable provision of the Internal
                          Revenue Code, the 1940 Act, and any other law or
                          regulation; or

                 (iv)     arise out of Adviser's material breach of this
                          Agreement;

                 and the Adviser will reimburse any legal or other expenses
                 reasonably incurred by each Insurance Company Indemnified
                 Person in connection with investigating or defending any such
                 loss, claim, damage liability or action; provided, however,
                 that the Adviser will not be liable in any such case to the
                 extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
                 out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission or
                 alleged omission made in the Registration Statement or
                 prospectus for the Trust in conformity with written
                 information furnished to the Adviser by Insurance Company
                 specifically for use therein or in Trust- or Adviser-prepared
                 sales literature. This indemnity agreement will be in addition
                 to any liability which the Adviser may otherwise have.

         (d)     The Trust and the Adviser shall indemnify and hold Insurance
                 Company harmless against any and all liability, loss, damages,
                 costs or expenses which Insurance Company may incur, suffer or
                 be required to pay directly due to the Trust's or Adviser's
                 (or their designated agent's) (i) incorrect calculation of the
                 daily net asset value, dividend rate or capital gain
                 distribution rate; (ii) incorrect reporting of the daily net
                 asset value, dividend rate or capital gain distribution rate;
                 or (iii) untimely reporting of the net asset value, dividend
                 rate or capital gain distribution rate.  Any gain accruing to
                 the Insurance Company attributable to the Trust's or Adviser's
                 (or their designated agent's) incorrect calculation or
                 reporting of the daily net asset value shall be returned to
                 the Trust by the Insurance Company upon receipt of notice from
                 the Trust or the Adviser regarding such incorrect calculation
                 or reporting.

         (e)     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
                 paragraph of notice of the commencement of action, such
                 indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
                 made against the indemnifying party under this paragraph,
                 notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but
                 the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not
                 relieve it from any liability which it may have to any
                 indemnified party otherwise than under this paragraph.  In
                 case any





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
                 such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
                 notified the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof,
                 the indemnifying party at its expense will be entitled to
                 participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish,
                 assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such
                 indemnified party.  After notice from the indemnifying party
                 to such indemnified party of indemnifying party's election to
                 assume the defense thereof, the indemnified party shall bear
                 the fees and expense of any additional counsel retained by it,
                 and the indemnifying party will not be liable to such party
                 under this paragraph for any legal or other expenses
                 subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
                 with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
                 investigation.

         (f)     The indemnifying party shall not be liable under this
                 indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims,
                 damages, liabilities or litigation to which an indemnified
                 party would otherwise be subject by reason of such indemnified
                 party's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the
                 performance of such indemnified party's duties or by reason of
                 such indemnified party's reckless disregard of obligations or
                 duties under this Agreement or to the indemnifying party,
                 whichever is applicable.

         (g)     Each indemnified party will promptly notify the indemnifying
                 party of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings
                 against it in connection with the issuance or sale of the
                 Trust shares or the Contracts or the operation or existence of
                 the Trust or the Variable Account.

         (h)     Nothing herein shall entitle an indemnified party to special,
                 consequential or exemplary damages or damages of like kind or
                 nature, and with respect to section 28(d) hereof, all
                 liability, loss and damages shall be limited to the amount
                 required to correct the value of the account as if there had
                 been no incorrect calculation or reporting or untimely
                 reporting of net asset value, dividend rate or capital gain
                 distribution rate.

29.      If, in the course of future marketing of the Contracts, Insurance
         Company or its agents shall request the continued assistance of the
         Trust's sales personnel, compensation (which will be negotiated by the
         Trust and Insurance Company) shall be paid by Insurance Company to the
         Trust.

30.      The term "Van Eck Worldwide Insurance Trust" means and refers to the
         Trustees from time to time serving under the Master Trust Agreement of
         the Trust dated January 7, 1986 as the same may subsequently thereto
         have been, or subsequently hereto be, amended.  It is expressly agreed
         that the obligations of the Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon
         any Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of
         the Trust, personally, but bind only the assets and property of the
         Trust, as provided in the Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement
         of the Trust.

                                   ARTICLE I

                              Sale of Fund Shares

         1.1     The Underwriter agrees to sell to the Company those shares of
the Designated Portfolios which the Account orders, executing such orders on a
daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or
its designee of the order for the shares of the Designated Portfolios.

         1.2     The Fund agrees to make shares of the Designated Portfolios
available for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the
Company and the Account on those days on which the Fund calculates its net
asset value pursuant to rules of the SEC, and the Fund shall use its best





                                     - 2 -

efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day which the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of
Directors of the Fund (hereinafter the "Board") may refuse to sell shares of
any Designated Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of
shares of any Designated Portfolio if such action is required by law or by
regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, or is, in the sole discretion of
the Board acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under
federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the
shareholders of such Designated Portfolio.

         1.3     The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the Fund
will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate
accounts.  No shares of any Designated Portfolios will be sold to the general
public.  The Fund and the Underwriter will not sell Fund shares to any
insurance company or separate account unless an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as Articles I and VII of this Agreement is in effect to
govern such sales.

         1.4     The Fund agrees to redeem, on the Company's request, any full
or fractional shares of the Designated Portfolios held by the Company,
executing such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed
after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption, except
that the Fund reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption or postpone
the date of payment or satisfaction upon redemption consistent with Section
22(e) of the 1940 Act and any sales thereunder, and in accordance with the
procedures and policies of the Fund as described in the then current
prospectus.

         1.5     For purposes of Sections 1.1 and 1.4, the Company shall be the
designee of the Fund for receipt of purchase and redemption orders from the
Account, and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund;
provided that the Company receives the order by 4:00 p.m. Baltimore time and
the Fund receives notice of such order by 9:30 a.m. Baltimore time on the next
following Business Day.  "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New
York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculate its net
asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC.

         1.6     The Company agrees to purchase and redeem the shares of each
Designated Portfolio offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund and in
accordance with the provisions of such prospectus.

         1.7     The Company shall pay for Fund shares on the next Business Day
after receipt of an order to purchase Fund shares.  Payment shall be in federal
funds transmitted by wire by 4:00 p.m. Baltimore time.  If payment in Federal
Funds for any purchase is not received or is received by the Fund after 4:00
p.m. Baltimore time on such Business Day, the Company shall promptly, upon the
Fund's request, reimburse the Fund for any charges, costs, fees, interest or
other expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with any advances to, or
borrowings or overdrafts by, the Fund, or any similar expenses incurred by the
Fund, as a result of portfolio transactions effected by the Fund based upon
such purchase request.  For purposes of Section 2.8 and 2.9 hereof, upon
receipt by the Fund of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be
the responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the
Fund.

         1.8     Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by book
entry only.  Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or any
Account.  Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title
for each Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.

         1.9     The Fund shall furnish same day notice (by wire or telephone,
followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income, dividends or
capital gain distributions payable on the Designated  Portfolios' shares.  The
Company hereby elects to receive all such income, dividends, and capital  gain
distributions as are payable on Designated Portfolio shares in additional
shares of  that Portfolio.  The Company reserves the right to revoke this
election and to receive all such income dividends and capital gain
distributions in cash.  The Fund shall notify the Company of the number of
shares so issued as payment of such dividends and distributions.  The Fund
shall use its  best efforts to furnish advance notice of the day such dividends
and distributions are expected to be paid.

         1.10    The fund shall make the net asset value per share for each
Designated Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as
reasonably practical after the net asset value per share is calculated
(normally by 6:30 p.m. Baltimore time) and shall use its best efforts to make
such net asset value per share available by 7 p.m. Baltimore time.

         1.11    The Parties hereto acknowledge that the arrangement
contemplated by this Agreement is not exclusive; the Fund's shares may be sold
to other insurance companies (subject to Section 1.3 and Article VI hereof) and
the cash value of the Contracts may be invested in other investment companies,
provided, however, that (a) such other investment company, or series thereof,
has investment objectives or policies that are different from the investment
objectives and policies of the Fund; or (b) the Company gives the Fund and the
Underwriter 45 days written notice of its intention to make such other
investment company available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts or (c)
such other investment company was available as a funding vehicle for the
Contracts prior to the date of this Agreement and the Company so informs the
Fund and Underwriter prior to their signing this Agreement: or (d) the fund or
Underwriter consents to the use of such other investment company, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld.

                                   ARTICLE II

                         Representations and Warranties

         2.1     The Company represents and warrants that the Contracts are or

         2.2     The Fund represents and warrants that Fund shares sold
pursuant to this Agreement shall be registered under the 1933 Act, duly
authorized for issuance and sold in compliance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and all applicable federal and state securities

         2.3     The Fund currently does not intend to make any payments to
finance distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act,
although it may make such payments in the future.  To the extent that it

undertake to have a Board, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the
Fund, formulate and approve any plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act
to finance distribution expenses.

         2.4     The Fund makes no representations as to whether any aspect of

fees and expenses are and shall at all times remain in compliance with the laws
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to the extent required to perform this
Agreement.

         2.5     The Fund represents that it is lawfully organized and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Maryland and that it does and will
comply in all material respects with the 1940 Act.

shares in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts and any
applicable state and federal securities laws.

         2.7     The Underwriter represents and warrants that the Adviser is
and shall remain duly registered under all applicable federal and state
securities laws and that the Adviser shall perform its obligations for the Fund
in compliance in all material respects with the laws of the State of
Massachusetts and any applicable state and federal securities laws.

         2.8     The Fund and the Underwriter represent and warrant that all of
their directors, officers, employees, investment advisers, and other
individuals or entities dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund
are and shall continue to be at all times covered by a blanket fidelity bond or
similar coverage for the benefit of the Fund in an amount not less than the
minimum coverage as required currently by Rule 17g-1 of the 1940 Act or related
provisions as may be





                                     - 5 -

promulgated from time to time.  The aforesaid bond shall include coverage for
larceny and embezzlement and shall be issued by a reputable bonding company.

         2.9     The Company represents and warrants that all of its directors,
officers, employees, and other individuals/entities employed or controlled by
the Company dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund are covered by
a blanket fidelity bond or similar coverage in an amount not less than $5
million.  The aforesaid bond includes coverage for larceny and embezzlement and
is issued by a reputable bonding company.  The Company agrees that any amounts
received under such bond in connection with claims that arise from the
arrangements described in this Agreement will be held by the Company for the
benefit of the Fund.  The Company agrees to make all reasonable efforts to see
that this bond or another bond containing these provisions is always in effect,
and agrees to notify the Fund and the Underwriter in the event that such
coverage no longer applies.  The Company agrees to exercise its best efforts to
ensure that other individuals/entities not employed or controlled by the
Company and dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund maintain a
similar bond or coverage in a reasonable amount.

                                  ARTICLE III

          Prospectuses, Statements  of Additional Information, and
                          Proxy Statements; Voting

         3.1     The Underwriter shall provide the Company with as many copies
of the Fund's current prospectus (describing only the Designated Portfolios
listed on Schedule A) as the Company may reasonably request.  If requested by
the Company in lieu thereof, the Fund shall provide such documentation
(including a final copy of the new prospectus as set in type at the Fund's
expense) and other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the
Company once each year (or more frequently if the prospectus for the Fund is
amended) to have the prospectus for the Contracts and the Fund's prospectus
printed together in one document.  The Fund shall bear the expense of printing
its current prospectus for distribution to existing Contract owners, and the
Company shall bear the expense of printing the Fund's current prospectus for
distribution to prospective Contract owners.

         3.2     The Fund's prospectus shall state that the current Statement
of Additional Information ("SAI ") for the Fund is available from the Company
(or, in the Fund's discretion, from the Fund), and the Underwriter (or the
Fund), at its expense, shall print, or otherwise reproduce, and provide a copy
of such SAI free of charge to the Company for itself and for any owner of a
Contract who requests such SAI.

         3.3     The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company with
copies of its proxy material, reports to shareholders, and other communications
to shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall reasonably require for
distributing to Contract owners.

         3.4     The Company shall:

                 (i)      solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;





                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>   7
                 (ii)     vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions
                          received from Contract owners; and

                 (iii)    vote Fund shares for which no instructions have been
                          received in the same proportion as Fund shares of
                          such Designated Portfolio for which instructions have
                          been received,

so long as and to the extent that the SEC continues to interpret the 1940 Act
to require pass-through voting privileges for variable contract owners or to
the extent otherwise required by law.  The Company reserves the right to vote
Fund shares held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to the
extent permitted by law.

         3.5     Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for
assuring that each of their separate accounts participating in a Designated
Portfolio calculates voting privileges as required by the Shared Funding
Exemptive Order and consistent with any reasonable standards that the Fund may
adopt.

         3.6     The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act
requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either
provide for annual meetings or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act
(although the Fund is not one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of that
Act) as well as with Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b).
Further, the Fund will act in accordance with the SEC's interpretation of the
requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic elections of directors
or trustees and with whatever rules the SEC may promulgate with respect
thereto.

                                   ARTICLE IV

make any representations on behalf of the Company or concerning the Company,
the Account, or the Contracts other than the information or representations

                                   ARTICLE VI

                       Diversification and Qualification

         6.1     Subject to the Company's maintaining the treatment of the
Contracts as life insurance, endowment, or annuity contracts under applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and
the regulations issued thereunder (or any successor provisions), the Fund will
invest its assets in such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be
treated as annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts, whichever is
appropriate, under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder (or any
successor provisions).  Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, the Fund
will comply with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section
1.817-5 and any Treasury interpretations thereof, relating to the
diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance
contracts, and any amendments or other modifications or successor provisions to
such Section or Regulations.  In the event of a breach of this Article VI by
the Fund, it will take all reasonable steps (a) to notify the Company of such
breach and (b) to adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance
within the grace period afforded by Regulation 817.5.





                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   10
         6.2     The Fund represents that it is or will be qualified as a
Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code, and that it will
make every effort to maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any
successor or similar provisions) and that it will notify the Company
immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing that it has ceased to
so quality or that it might not so quality in the future.

         6.3     Subject to the Fund's compliance with Section 817(h) of the
Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.817-5, and any Treasury interpretations
thereof, relating to the diversification requirements for variable annuity,
endowment, or life insurance contracts, any amendments or other modifications
or successor provisions to such Sections or Regulations, the Company represents
that the Contracts are currently, and at the time of issuance shall be, treated
as life insurance, endowment contracts, or annuity insurance contracts, under
applicable provisions of the Code, and that it will make every effort to
maintain such treatment, and that it will notify the Fund and the Underwriter
immediately upon having a reasonable basis for believing the Contracts have
ceased to be so treated or that they might not be so treated in the future.
The Company agrees that any prospectus offering a contract that is a "modified
endowment contract" as that term is defined in Section 7702A of the Code (or
any successor or similar provision), shall identify such contract as a modified
endowment contract.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                              Potential Conflicts

         The following provisions apply effective upon investment in the Fund
by a separate account of a Participating Insurance Company supporting variable
life  insurance contracts.

         7.1     The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any
material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners
of all separate accounts investing in the Fund. An irreconcilable material
conflict may arise for a variety of reasons, including:  (a) an action by any
state insurance regulatory authority;  (b) a change in applicable federal or
state insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling,
private letter ruling, no action or interpretative letter, or any similar
action by insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an
administrative or judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner
in which the investments of any Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference
in voting instructions given by variable annuity contract and variable life
insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard the
voting instructions of contract owners. The Board shall promptly inform the
Company if it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and
the implications thereof.

         7.2.    The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of
which it is aware to the Board.  The Company will assist the Board in carrying
out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, by providing
the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider
any issues raised.  This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the
Company to inform the Board whenever Contract owner voting instructions are
disregarded.





                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>   11
         7.3     If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority
of its disinterested members, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists,
the Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense
and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested Board members), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including:  (1)
withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from
the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a
vote of all affected contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the
assets of any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance
contract owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating
Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to
the affected contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2)
establishing a new registered management investment company or managed separate
account.

         7.4     If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a
decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and
that decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote,
the Company may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the affected
Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to
such Account provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be
limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable
conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board.
Any such withdrawal and termination must take place within six (6) months after
the Fund gives written notice that this provision is being implemented, and
until the end of that six month period the Fund shall continue to accept and
implement orders by the Company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of
the Fund.

         7.5     If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a
particular state insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company
conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then the Company will
withdraw the affected Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this
Agreement with respect to such Account within six months after the Board
informs the Company in writing that it has determined that such decision has
created an irreconcilable material conflict; provided, however, that such
withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the
foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board.  Until the end of the foregoing six month
period, the Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the company
for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.

         7.6     For purposes of Section 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether any
proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but
in no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the
Contracts.  The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new
funding medium for the Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by vote
of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the
irreconcilable material conflict.  In the event that the Board determines that
any proposed action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable





                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>   12
material conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account's investment in
the Fund and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board
informs the Company in writing of the foregoing determination; provided,
however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent
required by any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board.

         7.7     If and to the extent the Shared Funding Order contains terms
and conditions different from Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and
7.5 of this Agreement, or Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are amended, or Rule 6e-3
is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the 1940 Act or
the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding (as
defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions
materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding Exemptive
Order, then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as
appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules
6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such
rules are applicable; and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 7.1., 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and
7.5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that terms
and conditions substantially identical to such Sections are contained in such
Rule(s) as so amended or adopted.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                Indemnification

         8.1     Indemnification By the Company

                 8.1(a).   The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Fund and the Underwriter and each of their officers and directors and each
person, if any, who controls the Fund or the Underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"  for
purposes of this Section 8.1) against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of
the Company) or litigation (including legal and other expenses), to which the
Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute or regulation, at
common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements are related to the
sale or acquisition of the Fund's shares or the Contracts and:

         (i)     arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or
                 alleged untrue statements of any material fact contained in
                 the Registration Statement, prospectus, or statement of
                 additional information for the Contracts or contained in the
                 Contracts or sales literature for the Contracts (or any
                 amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out
                 of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to
                 state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
                 necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
                 provided that this agreement to indemnify shall not apply as
                 to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such
                 alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
                 conformity with information

                 in the Registration Statement, prospectus or statement of
                 additional information for the Contracts or in the Contracts
                 or sales literature (or any amendment or supplement) or
                 otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts
                 or Fund shares; or

         (ii)    arise out of or as a result of statements or representations
                 (other than statements or representations contained in the
                 Registration Statement, prospectus or sales literature of the
                 Fund not supplied by the Company or persons under its control)

                 authorization or control, with respect to the sale or

                 thereof or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged
                 omission to state therein a material fact required to be
                 stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
                 misleading if such a statement or omission was made in
                 reliance upon information furnished to the Fund by or on
                 behalf of the Company; or

         (iv)    arise as a result of any material failure by the Company to
                 provide the services and furnish the materials under the terms
                 of this Agreement (including a failure, whether unintentional
                 or in good faith or otherwise, to comply with the
                 qualification requirements specified in Article VI of this
                 Agreement); or

         (v)     arise out of or result from any material breach of any
                 representation and/or warranty made by the Company in this
                 Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material
                 breach of this Agreement by the Company,

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.1(b) and
8.1(c) hereof.

         8.1(b).  The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason
of such Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence
in the performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such
Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under this
Agreement.

         8.1(c).  The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Company in writing within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice
of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Company of
any such claim shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may
have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise
than on account of this indemnification provision.  In case any such action is
brought against an Indemnified





                                     - 13 -

Party, the Company shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the
defense of such action.  The Company also shall be entitled to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action and
to settle the claim at its own expense; provided, however, that no such
settlement shall, without the Indemnified Parties' written consent, include any
factual stipulation referring to the Indemnified Parties or their conduct.
After notice from the  Company to such party of the Company's election to
assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and
expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Company will not be
liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

         8.1(d).  The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the Company of
the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection
with the issuance or sale of the Fund Shares or the Contracts or the operation
of the Fund.

8.2      Indemnification by the Underwriter

         8.2(a).  The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.2)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts
paid in settlement with the written consent of the Underwriter) or litigation
(including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may
become subject under any statute or regulation, at common law or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof) or settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of the
Fund's shares or the Contracts; and

         (i)     arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
                 untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
                 Registration Statement or prospectus or SAI or sales
                 literature of the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any
                 of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the
                 omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material
                 fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
                 statements therein not misleading provided that this agreement
                 to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if
                 such statement or omission or such alleged statement or
                 omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
                 information furnished to the Underwriter or Fund by or on
                 behalf of the Company for use in the Registration Statement or
                 prospectus for the Fund or in sales literature (or any
                 amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection
                 with the sale of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

         (ii)    arise out of or as a result of statements or representations
                 (other than statements or representations contained in the
                 Registration Statement, prospectus or sales literature for the
                 Contracts not supplied by the Underwriter or persons under its
                 control) or wrongful conduct of the Fund or Underwriter or
                 persons under their control, with respect to the sale or
                 distribution of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

         (iii)   arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
                 of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement,
                 prospectus or sales literature covering the Contracts, or any
                 amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or
                 alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
                 be stated therein or necessary to make the statement or
                 statements therein not misleading, if such statement or
                 omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to
                 the Company by or on behalf of the Fund; or

         (iv)    arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to provide the
                 services and furnish the materials under the terms of this
                 Agreement (including a failure, whether unintentional or in
                 good faith or otherwise, to comply with the diversification
                 and other qualification requirements specified in Article VI
                 of this Agreement); or

         (v)     arise out of or result from any material breach of any
                 representation and/or warranty made by the Underwriter in this
                 Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material
                 breach of this Agreement by the Underwriter;

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.2(b) and
8.2(c) hereof.

         8.2(b).  The Underwriter shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be
subject by reason of such Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or gross negligence in the performance or such Indemnified Party's duties or by
reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties
under this Agreement or to the Company or the Account, whichever is applicable.

         8.2(c).  The Underwriter shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified
Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Underwriter in
writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process
giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice
of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Underwriter
of any such claim shall not relieve the Underwriter from any liability which it
may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise
than on account of this indemnification provision.  In case any such action is
brought against the Indemnified Party, the Underwriter will be entitled to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof.  The Underwriter also
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to
the party named in the action and to settle the claim at its own expense;
provided, however, that no such settlement shall, without the Indemnified
Parties' written consent, include any factual stipulation referring to the
Indemnified Parties or their conduct.  After notice from the Underwriter to
such party of the Underwriter's election to assume the defense thereof, the
Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel
retained by it, and the Underwriter will not be liable to such party under this
Agreement for any legal or other expenses

commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers
or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Contracts or the
operation of the Account.

         8.3      Indemnification By the Fund

         8.3(a).  The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.3) against any and all
losses, claims, expenses, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in
settlement with the written consent of the Fund) or litigation (including legal
and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may be required to pay or
may become subject under any statute or regulation, at common law or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages, liabilities or expenses (or
actions in respect thereof) or settlements, are related to the operations of
the Fund and:

         (i)     arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to provide the
                 services and furnish the materials under the terms of this
                 Agreement (including a failure, whether unintentional or in

                 of this Agreement); or

         (ii)    arise out of or result from any material breach of any

                 breach of this Agreement by the Fund;

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.3(b) and
8.3(c) hereof.

         8.3(b).  The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason
of such Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence
in the performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such
Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this
Agreement or to the Company, the Fund, the Underwriter or the Account,
whichever is applicable.

         8.3(c).  The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Fund in writing within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice
of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Fund of any
such claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which it may have

to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on
account of this indemnification provision.  In case any such action is brought
against the Indemnified Parties, the Fund will be entitled to participate, at
its own expense, in the defense thereof.  The Fund also shall be entitled to
assume the expense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the
action and to settle the claim at its own expense; provided, however, that no
such settlement shall, without the Indemnified Parties' written consent,

                          to some or all Designated Portfolios, by six (6)
                          months' advance written notice delivered to the other

                          to meet the requirements of the Contracts; provided
                          that such termination shall apply only to the
                          Designated Portfolio not reasonably available; or

                 (c)      termination by the Company by written notice to the
                          Fund and the Underwriter in the event any of the
                          Designated Portfolio's shares are not registered,
                          issued or sold in accordance with applicable state
                          and/or federal law or such law precludes the use of
                          such shares as the underlying investment media of the

                 (d)      termination by the Fund or Underwriter in the event
                          that formal  administrative proceedings are
                          instituted against the Company by the NASD, the SEC,
                          the Insurance Commissioner or like official of any
                          state or any other regulatory body regarding the
                          Company's duties under this Agreement or related to
                          the sale of the Contracts, the operation of any
                          Account, or the purchase of the Fund shares,
                          provided, however, that the Fund or Underwriter
                          determines in its sole judgment exercised in good
                          faith, that any such administrative proceedings will
                          have a material adverse effect upon the ability of
                          the Company to perform its obligations under this
                          Agreement; or

                 (e)      termination by the Company in the event that formal
                          administrative proceedings are instituted against the

                          state securities or insurance department or any other
                          regulatory body, provided, however, that the Company
                          determines in its sole judgment exercised in good
                          faith, that any such administrative proceedings will
                          have a material adverse effect upon the ability of
                          the Fund or Underwriter to perform its obligations
                          under this Agreement; or

                 (f)      termination by the Company by written notice to the
                          Fund and the Underwriter with respect to any
                          Designated Portfolio in the event that such
                          Designated Portfolio ceases to qualify as a Regulated
                          Investment Company under Subchapter M or fails to

                          requirements specified in Article VI hereof, or if
                          the Company reasonably believes that such Designated
                          Portfolio may fail to so qualify or comply; or

                 (g)      termination by the Fund or Underwriter by written
                          notice to the Company in the event that the Contracts
                          fail to meet the qualifications specified in  Article
                          VI hereof; or

                 (h)      termination by either the Fund or the Underwriter by
                          written notice to the Company, if either one or both
                          of the Fund or the Underwriter respectively, shall
                          determine, in their sole judgment exercised in good
                          faith, that the Company has suffered a material
                          adverse change in its business, operations,





                                     - 18 -

                          financial condition, or prospects since the date of
                          this Agreement or is the subject of material adverse
                          publicity; or

                 (i)      termination by the Company by written notice to the
                          Fund and the Underwriter, if the Company shall
                          determine, in its sole judgment exercised in good
                          faith, that the Fund or the Underwriter has suffered
                          a material adverse change in its business,
                          operations, financial condition or prospects since
                          the date of this Agreement or is the subject of
                          material adverse publicity; or

                 (j)      termination by the Fund or the Underwriter by written
                          notice to the Company, if the Company gives the Fund
                          and the Underwriter the written notice specified in
                          Section 1.11 hereof and at the time such notice was
                          given there was no notice of termination outstanding
                          under any other provision of this Agreement;
                          provided, however, any termination under this Section
                          10.1.(j) shall be effective sixty days after the
                          notice specified in Section 1.11 was given.

         10.2    Effect of  Termination.  Notwithstanding any termination of
this Agreement, the Fund and the Underwriter shall, at the option of the
Company, continue to make available additional shares of the Fund pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for all Contracts in effect on the
effective date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as
"Existing Contracts").  Specifically, the owners of the Existing Contracts may
be permitted to reallocate investments in the Fund, redeem investments in the
Fund and/or invest in the Fund upon the making of additional purchase payments
under the Existing Contracts.  The parties agree that this Section 10.2 shall
not apply to any termination under Article VII and the effect of such Article
VII termination shall be governed by Article VII of this Agreement.  The
parties further agree that this Section 10.2 shall not apply to any termination
under Section 10.1(g) of this Agreement.

         10.3     The Company shall not redeem Fund shares attributable to the
Contracts (as opposed to Fund shares attributable to the Company's assets held
in the Account) except (i) as necessary to implement Contract Owner initiated
or approved transactions, (ii) as required by state and/or federal laws or
regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of general application
(hereinafter referred to as a "Legally Required Redemption"), or (iii) as
permitted by an order of the SEC pursuant to Section 26(b) of the 1940 Act.
Upon request, the Company will promptly furnish to the Fund and the Underwriter
the opinion of counsel for the Company (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Fund and the Underwriter) to the effect that any redemption
pursuant to clause (ii) above is a Legally Required Redemption.  Furthermore,
except in cases where permitted under the terms of the Contracts, the Company
shall not prevent Contract Owners from allocating payments to a Portfolio that
was otherwise available under the Contracts without first giving the Fund or
the Underwriter 90 days notice of its intention to do so.

         10.4    Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, each

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company,
the Fund and the Underwriter agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                              SALE OF FUND SHARES

      1.1 The Underwriter agrees to sell to the Company those shares of the
Designated Portfolios which the Account orders, executing such orders on a daily
basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its
designee of the order for the shares of the Designated Portfolios.

      1.2 The Fund agrees to make shares of the Designated Portfolios available
for purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company and the
Account on those days on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant
to rules of the SEC, and the Fund

                                   - 2 -

<PAGE>   3



shall use its best efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day which
the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Board of Directors of the Fund (hereinafter the "Board") may refuse to sell
shares of any Designated Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the
offering of shares of any Designated Portfolio if such action is required by law
or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, or is, in the sole discretion
of the Board acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under
federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the
shareholders of such Designated Portfolio.

      1.3 The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the Fund will be
sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts. No
shares of any Designated Portfolios will be sold to the general public. The Fund
and the Underwriter will not sell Fund shares to any insurance company or
separate account unless an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as Articles I and VII of this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales.

      1.4 The Fund agrees to redeem, on the Company's request, any full or
fractional shares of the Designated Portfolios held by the Company, executing
such requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after
receipt by the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption, except that
the Fund reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption or postpone the
date of payment or satisfaction upon redemption consistent with Section 22(e) of
the 1940 Act and any sales thereunder, and in accordance with the procedures and
policies of the Fund as described in the then current prospectus.

      1.5 For purposes of Sections 1.1 and 1.4, the Company shall be the
designee of the Fund for receipt of purchase and redemption orders from the
Account, and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund;
provided that the Company receives the order by 4:00 p.m. Baltimore time and the
Fund receives notice of such order by 9:30 a.m. Baltimore time on the next
following Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net
asset value pursuant to the rules of the SEC.

      1.6 The Company agrees to purchase and redeem the shares of each
Designated Portfolio offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund and in
accordance with the provisions of such prospectus.

      1.7 The Company shall pay for Fund shares on the next Business Day after
receipt of an order to purchase Fund shares. Payment shall be in federal funds
transmitted by wire by 4:00 p.m. Baltimore time. If payment in Federal Funds for
any purchase is not received or is received by the Fund after 4:00 p.m.
Baltimore time on such Business Day, the Company shall promptly, upon the Fund's
request, reimburse the Fund for any charges, costs, fees, interest or other
expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with any advances to, or borrowings
or overdrafts by, the Fund, or any similar expenses incurred by the Fund, as a
result of portfolio transactions effected by the Fund based upon such purchase
request. For purposes of Section 2.8 and 2.9

                                   - 3 -

<PAGE>   4



hereof, upon receipt by the Fund of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall
cease to be the responsibility of the Company and shall become the
responsibility of the Fund.

      1.8 Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by book entry only.
Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Account. Shares
ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for each Account
or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.

      1.9 The Fund shall furnish same day notice (by wire or telephone, followed
by written confirmation) to the Company of any income, dividends or capital gain
distributions payable on the Designated Portfolios' shares. The Company hereby
elects to receive all such income, dividends, and capital gain distributions as
are payable on Designated Portfolio shares in additional shares of that
Portfolio. The Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive
all such income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Fund shall
notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such
dividends and distributions. The Fund shall use its best efforts to furnish
advance notice of the day such dividends and distributions are expected to be
paid.

      1.10 The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for each Designated
Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably
practical after the net asset value per share is calculated (normally by 6:30
p.m. Baltimore time) and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value
per share available by 7 p.m. Baltimore time.

      1.11 The Parties hereto acknowledge that the arrangement contemplated by
this Agreement is not exclusive; the Fund's shares may be sold to other
insurance companies (subject to Section 1.3 and Article VI hereof) and the cash
value of the Contracts may be invested in other investment companies, provided,
however, that (a) such other investment company, or series thereof, has
investment objectives or policies that are different from the investment
objectives and policies of the Fund; or (b) the Company gives the Fund and the
Underwriter 45 days written notice of its intention to make such other
investment company available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts; or (c) such
other investment company was available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts
prior to the date of this Agreement and the Company so informs the Fund and
Underwriter prior to their signing this Agreement; or (d) the Fund or
Underwriter consents to the use of such other investment company, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld.

and dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund maintain a similar bond
or coverage in a reasonable amount.

PROSPECTUSES, STATEMENTS OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, AND PROXY STATEMENTS; VOTING

      3.1 The Underwriter shall provide the Company with as many copies of the
Fund's current prospectus (describing only the Designated Portfolios listed on
Schedule A) as the Company may reasonably request. If requested by the Company
in lieu thereof, the Fund shall provide such documentation (including a final
copy of the new prospectus as set in type at the Fund's expense) and other
assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company once each year
(or more frequently if the prospectus for the Fund is amended) to have the
prospectus for the Contracts and the Fund's prospectus printed together in one
document. The Fund shall bear the expense of printing its current prospectus for
distribution to existing Contract owners, and the Company shall bear the expense
of printing the Fund's current prospectus for distribution to prospective
Contract owners.

      3.2 The Fund's prospectus shall state that the current Statement of
Additional Information ("SAI") for the Fund is available from the Company (or,
in the Fund's discretion, from the Fund), and the Underwriter (or the Fund), at
its expense, shale print, or otherwise reproduce, and provide a copy of such SAI
free of charge to the Company for itself and for any owner of a Contract who
requests such SAI.

proxy material, reports to shareholders, and other communications to
shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall reasonably require for
distributing to Contract owners.

      3.4 The Company shall:

          (i)   solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;

          (ii)  vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions received
                from Contract owners; and

          (iii) vote Fund shares for which no instructions have been received
                in the same proportion as Fund shares of such Designated
                Portfolio for which instructions have been received,

so long as and to the extent that the SEC continues to interpret the 1940 Act to
require pass through voting privileges for variable contract owners or to the
extent otherwise required by law. The Company reserves the right to vote Fund
shares held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to the extent
permitted by law.

      3.5 Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for assuring
that each of their separate accounts participating in a Designated Portfolio
calculates voting privileges as required by the Shared Funding Exemptive Order
and consistent with any reasonable standards that the Fund may adopt.

      3.6 The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act requiring
voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either provide for
annual meetings or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act (although the Fund
is not one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of that Act) as well as with
Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b). Further, the Fund will act in
accordance with the SEC's interpretation of the requirements of Section 16(a)
with respect to periodic elections of directors or trustees and with whatever
rules the SEC may promulgate with respect thereto.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                                   ARTICLE V

      5.1 The Fund and the Underwriter shall pay no fee or other compensation to
the Company under this Agreement, except that if the Fund or any Portfolio
adopts and implements a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
expenses, then the Underwriter may make payments to the Company or to the
underwriter for the Contracts if and in amounts agreed to by the Underwriter in
writing, and such payments will be made out of existing fees otherwise payable

                                  ARTICLE VI

                       DIVERSIFICATION AND QUALIFICATION

      6.1 Subject to the Company's maintaining the treatment of the Contracts as
life insurance, endowment, or annuity contracts under applicable provisions of
the Internal Revenue

                                   - 9 -

<PAGE>   10



Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the regulations issued thereunder (or
any successor provisions), the Fund will invest its assets in such a manner as
to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as annuity, endowment, or life
insurance contracts, whichever is appropriate, under the Code and the
regulations issued thereunder (or any successor provisions). Without limiting
the scope of the foregoing, the Fund will comply with Section 817(h) of the Code
and Treasury Regulation Section 1.817-5, and any Treasury interpretations
thereof, relating To the diversification requirements for variable annuity,
endowment, or life insurance contracts, and any amendments or other
modifications or successor provisions to such Section or Regulations. In the
event of a breach of this Article VI by the Fund, it will take all reasonable
steps (a) to notify the Company of such breach and (b) to adequately diversify
the Fund so as to achieve compliance within the grace period afforded by
Regulation Section 817.5.

      6.2 The Fund represents that it is or will be qualified as a Regulated
Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Code, and that it will make every
effort to maintain such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or
similar provisions) and that it will notify the Company immediately upon having
a reasonable basis for believing that it has ceased to so qualify or that it
might not so qualify in the future.

      6.3 Subject to the Fund's compliance with Section 817(h) of the Code and
Treasury Regulation Section 1.817-5, and any Treasury interpretations thereof,
relating to the diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or
life insurance contracts, any amendments or other modifications or successor
provisions to such Sections or Regulations, the Company represents that the
Contracts are currently, and at the time of issuance shall be, treated as life
insurance, endowment contracts, or annuity insurance contracts, under applicable
provisions of the Code, and that it will make every effort to maintain such
treatment, and that it will notify the Fund and the Underwriter immediately upon
having a reasonable basis for believing the Contracts have ceased to be so
treated or that they might not be so treated in the future. The Company agrees
that any prospectus offering a contract that is a "modified endowment contract"
as that term is defined in Section 7702A of the Code (or any successor or
similar provision), shall identify such contract as a modified endowment
contract.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                              POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

      The following provisions apply effective upon investment in the Fund by a
separate account of a Participating Insurance Company supporting variable life
insurance contracts.

      7.1 The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material
irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners of all
separate accounts investing in the Fund. An irreconcilable material conflict may
arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state insurance
regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state insurance,
tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private letter
ruling, no-action

                                   - 10 -

<PAGE>   11



or interpretative letter, or any similar action by insurance, tax, or securities
regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or judicial decision in any
relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the investments of any Portfolio
are being managed; (e) a difference in voting instructions given by variable
annuity contract and variable life insurance contract owners; or (f) a decision
by an insurer to disregard the voting instructions of contract owners. The Board
shall promptly inform the Company if it determines that an irreconcilable
material conflict exists and the implications thereof.

      7.2 The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of which
it is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board in carrying out its
responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, by providing the
Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any
issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the
Company to inform the Board whenever Contract owner voting instructions are
disregarded.

      7.3 If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of its
disinterested members, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the
Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense and
to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested Board members), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including: (1)
withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from
the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets h a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote
of all affected contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of
any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance contract
owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating Insurance
Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected
contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2) establishing a new
registered management investment company or managed separate account.

      7.4 If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a decision by
the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that decision
represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the Company
may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the affected Account's
investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account
provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the
extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined
by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Any such withdrawal and
termination must take place within six (6) months after the Fund gives written
notice that this provision is being implemented, and until the end of that six
month period the Fund shall continue to accept and implement orders by the
Company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.

      7.5 If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular
state insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company conflicts with
the majority of other state

                                   - 11 -

<PAGE>   12



regulators, then the Company will withdraw the affected Account's investment in
the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account within six
months after the Board informs the Company in writing that it has determined
that such decision has created an irreconcilable material conflict; provided,
however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent
required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Until the end of the
foregoing six month period, the Fund shall continue to accept and implement
orders by the company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of the Fund.

      7.6 For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a majority
of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether any proposed
action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event
will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the Contracts.
The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new funding
medium for the Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a
majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the irreconcilable
material conflict. In the event that the Board determines that any proposed
action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material conflict, then the
Company will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this
Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the Company in writing
of the foregoing determination; provided, however, that such withdrawal and
termination shall be limited to the extent required by any such material
irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members
of the Board.

      7.7 If and to the extent the Shared Funding Order contains terms and
conditions different from Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 of
this Agreement, or Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e 3(T) are amended, or Rule 6e-3 is
adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the 1940 Act or the
rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding (as defined
in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions materially
different from those contained in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, then (a)
the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as appropriate, shall
take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules 6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as
amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such rules are applicable; and
(b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 7.1., 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of this Agreement shall
continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions substantially
identical to such Sections are contained in such Rule(s) as so amended or
adopted.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                                INDEMNIFICATION

            8.1(a)The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and
the Underwriter and each of their officers and directors and each person, if
any, who controls the

Fund or the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.1)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid
in settlement with the written consent of the Company) or litigation (including
legal and other expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject
under any statute or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof)
or settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund's shares or
the Contracts and:

            (i)   arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or
                  alleged untrue statements of any material fact contained in
                  the Registration Statement, prospectus, or statement of
                  additional information for the Contracts or contained in the
                  Contracts or sales literature for the Contracts (or any
                  amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out
                  of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to
                  state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
                  necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
                  provided that this agreement to indemnify shall not apply as
                  to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such
                  alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
                  conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on
                  behalf of the Fund for use in the Registration Statement,
                  prospectus or statement of additional information for the
                  Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature (or any
                  amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection
                  with the sale of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

            (ii)  arise out of or as a result of statements or representations
                  (other than statements or representations contained in the
                  Registration Statement, prospectus or sales literature of the
                  Fund not supplied by the Company or persons under its control)
                  or wrongful conduct of the Company or persons under its
                  authorization or control, with respect to the sale or
                  distribution of the Contracts or Fund Shares; or

            (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
                  of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement,
                  prospectus, or sales literature of the Fund or any amendment
                  thereof or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged
                  omission to state therein a material fact required to be
                  stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
                  misleading if such a statement or omission was made in
                  reliance upon information furnished to the Fund by or on
                  behalf of the Company; or

            (iv)  arise as a result of any material failure by the Company to
                  provide the services and furnish the materials under the terms
                  of this Agreement (including a failure, whether unintentional
                  or in good faith or otherwise, to

                                   - 13 -

<PAGE>   14



                  comply with the qualification requirements specified in
                  Article VI of this Agreement); or

            (v)   arise out of or result from any material breach of any
                  representation and/or warranty made by the Company in this
                  Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material
                  breach of this Agreement by the Company,

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.1(b) and
8.1(c) hereof.

            8.1(b). The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation
to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of such
Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the
performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such Indemnified
Party's reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under this Agreement.

            8.1(c). The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Company in writing within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of
such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Company of any
such claim shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to
the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on
account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought
against an Indemnified Party, the Company shall be entitled to participate, at
its own expense, in the defense of such action. The Company also shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party
named in the action and to settle the claim at its own expense; provided,
however, that no such settlement shall, without the Indemnified Parties' written
consent, include any factual stipulation referring to the Indemnified Parties or
their conduct. After notice from the Company to such party of the Company's
election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the
fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Company will
not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

            8.1(d). The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the Company of
the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection
iwth the issuance of sale of the Fund Shares or the Contracts or the operation
of the Fund.

      8.2   Indemnification by the Underwriter

            8.2(a). The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of

                                   - 14 -

this Section 8.2) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
(including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the
Underwriter) or litigation (including legal and other expenses) to which the
Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute or regulation, at
common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims damages, liabilities or
expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements are related to the sale
or acquisition of the Fund's shares or the Contracts; and

            (i)   arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
                  untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
                  Registration Statement or prospectus or SAI or sales
                  literature of the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any
                  of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the
                  omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material
                  fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
                  statements therein not misleading, provided that this
                  agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified
                  Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement
                  or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
                  information furnished to the Underwriter or Fund by or on
                  behalf of the Company for use in the Registration Statement or
                  prospectus for the Fund or in sales literature (or any

                  with the sale of the Contracts of Fund shares; or

            (ii)  arise out of or as a result of statements or representations
                  (other than statements or representations contained in the
                  Registration Statement, prospectus or sales literature for the
                  Contracts not supplies by the Underwriter or persons under its
                  control) or wrongful conduct of the Fund or Underwriter or
                  persons under their control, with respect to the sale or
                  distribution of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

            (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
                  of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement,
                  prospectus or sales literature covering the Contracts, or any
                  amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or
                  alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
                  be stated therein or necessary to make the statement or
                  statements therein not misleading, if such statement or
                  omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to
                  the Company by or on behalf of the Fund; or

            (iv)  arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to provide the
                  services and furnish the materials under the terms of this
                  Agreement (including a failure, whether unintentional or in
                  good faith or otherwise, to comply with the diversification
                  and other qualification requirements specified in Article VI
                  of this Agreement); or

               (v)   arise out of or result from any material breach of any
                     representation and/or warranty made by the Underwriter in
                     this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other
                     material breach of this Agreement by the Underwriter;

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.2(b) and
8.2(c) hereof.

            8.2(b). The Underwriter shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be
subject by reason of such Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or gross negligence in the performance or such Indemnified Party's duties or by
reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties
under this Agreement or to the Company or the Account, whichever is applicable.

            8.2(c). The Underwriter shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified
Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Underwriter in
writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process
giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of
such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Underwriter of
any such claim shall not relieve the Underwriter from any liability which it may
have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than
on account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought
against the Indemnified Party, the Underwriter will be entitled to participate,
at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Underwriter also shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party
named in the action and to settle the claim at its own expense; provided,
however, that no such settlement shall, without the Indemnified Parties' written
consent, include any factual stipulation referring to the Indemnified Parties or
their conduct. After notice from the Underwriter to such party of the
Underwriter's election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party
shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and
the Underwriter will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such party independently in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation.

            8.2(d). The Company agrees promptly to notify the Underwriter of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers
or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Contracts or the
operation of the Account.

      8.3   Indemnification By the Fund

            8.3(a). The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.3) against any and all
losses, claims, expenses, damages, liabilities (including

                                   - 16 -

<PAGE>   17



amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Fund) or litigation
(including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may be
required to pay or may become subject under any statute or regulation, at common
law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages, liabilities
or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements, are related to the
operations of the Fund and:

               (i)   arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to provide the
                     services and furnish the materials under the terms of this
                     Agreement (including a failure, whether unintentional or in
                     good faith or otherwise, to comply with the diversification
                     and other qualification requirements specified in Article
                     VI of this Agreement); or

               (ii)  arise out of or result from any material breach of any
                     representation and/or warranty made by the Fund in this
                     Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material
                     breach of this Agreement by the Fund;

as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.3(b) and
8.3(c) hereof.

            8.3(b). The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation
to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of such
Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the
performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such Indemnified
Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or to
the Company, the Fund, the Underwriter or the Account, whichever is applicable.

            8.3(c). The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Fund in writing within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such indemnified Party shall have received notice of
such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Fund of any
such claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which it may have to
the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on
account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought
against the Indemnified Parties, the Fund will be entitled to participate, at
its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Fund also shall be entitled to
assume the expense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the
action and to settle the claim at its own expense; provided, however, that no
such settlement shall, without the Indemnified Parties' written consent, include
any factual stipulation referring to the Indemnified Parties or their conduct.
After notice from the Fund to such party of the Fund's election to assume the
defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any
additional counsel retained by it, and the Fund will not be liable to such party
under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such party independently in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation.

          8.3(d). The Company and the Underwriter agree promptly to notify the
Fund of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it or any of
its respective officers or directors in connection with the Agreement, the
issuance or sale of the Contracts, the operation of the Account, or the sale or
acquisition of shares of the Fund.

                                APPLICABLE LAW

      9.1 This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions hereof
interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland.

      9.2 This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the 1933, 1934

                                  TERMINATION

      10.1 This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the
first to occur of:

            (a)   termination by any party, for any reason with respect to some
                  or all Designated Portfolios, by six (6) months' advance
                  written notice delivered to the other parties; or

            (b)   termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and
                  the Underwriter with respect to any Designated Portfolio based
                  upon the Company's determination that shares of the Fund are
                  not reasonably available to meet the requirements of the
                  Contracts; provided that such termination shall apply only to
                  the Designated Portfolio not reasonably available; or

            (c)   termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and
                  the Underwriter in the event any of the Designated Portfolio's
                  shares are not registered, issued or sold in accordance with
                  applicable state and/or federal law or such law precludes the
                  use of such shares as the underlying investment media of the
                  Contracts issued or to be issued by the Company; or

            (d)   termination by the Fund or Underwriter in the event that
                  formal administrative proceedings are instituted against the
                  Company by the NASD, the SEC, the Insurance Commissioner or
                  like official of any state or any other regulatory body
                  regarding the Company's duties under this Agreement or related
                  to the sale of the Contracts, the operation of any Account, or
                  the purchase of the Fund shares, provided, however, that the
                  Fund or Underwriter determines in its sole judgment exercised
                  in good faith, that any such administrative proceedings will
                  have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Company
                  to perform its obligations under this Agreement; or

            (e)   termination by the Company in the event that formal
                  administrative proceedings are instituted against the Fund or
                  Underwriter by the NASD, the SEC, or any state securities or
                  insurance department or any other regulatory body, provided,
                  however, that the Company determines in its sole judgment
                  exercised in good faith, that any such administrative
                  proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon the
                  ability of the Fund or Underwriter to perform its obligations
                  under this Agreement; or

            (f)   termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and
                  the Underwriter with respect to any Designated Portfolio in
                  the event that such Designated Portfolio ceases to qualify as
                  a Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M or fails to
                  comply with the Section 817(h) diversification requirements
                  specified in Article VI hereof, or if the Company reasonably
                  believes that such Designated Portfolio may fail to so qualify
                  or comply; or

            (g)   termination by the Fund or Underwriter by written notice to
                  the Company in the event that the Contracts fail to meet the
                  qualifications specified in Article VI hereof; or

            (h)   termination by either the Fund or the Underwriter by written
                  notice to the Company, if either one or both of the Fund or
                  the Underwriter respectively, shall determine, in their sole
                  judgment exercised in good faith, that the Company has
                  suffered a material adverse change in its business,
                  operations, financial condition, or prospects since the date
                  of this Agreement or is the subject of material adverse
                  publicity; or

            (i)   termination by the Company by written notice to the Fund and
                  the Underwriter, if the Company shall determine, in its sole
                  judgment exercised in good faith, that the Fund or the
                  Underwriter has suffered a material adverse change in its
                  business, operations, financial condition or

                                   - 19 -

                  prospects since the date of this Agreement or is the subject
                  of material adverse publicity, or

            (j)   termination by the Fund or the Underwriter by written notice
                  to the Company, if the Company gives the Fund and the
                  Underwriter the written notice specified in Section 1.11
                  hereof and at the time such notice was given there was no
                  notice of termination outstanding under any other provision of
                  this Agreement; provided, however, any termination under this
                  Section 10.1(j) shall be effective sixty days after the notice
                  specified in Section 1.11 was given.

      10.2 Effect of Termination. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, the Fund and the Underwriter shall, at the option of the Company,
continue to make available additional shares of the Fund pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, for all Contracts in effect on the effective
date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing
Contracts"). Specifically, the owners of the Existing Contracts may be permitted
to reallocate investments in the Fund, redeem investments in the Fund and/or
invest in the Fund upon the making of additional purchase payments under the
Existing Contracts. The parties agree that this Section 10.2 shall not apply to
any termination under Article VII and the effect of such Article VII termination
shall be governed by Article VII of this Agreement. The parties further agree
that this Section 10.2 shall not apply to any termination under Section 10.1(g)
of this Agreement.

      10.3 The Company shall not redeem Fund shares attributable to the
Contracts (as opposed to Fund shares attributable to the Company's assets held
in the Account) except (i) as necessary to implement Contract Owner initiated or
approved transactions, (ii) as required by state and/or federal laws or
regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of general application
(hereinafter referred to as a "Legally Required Redemption"), or (iii) as
permitted by an order of the SEC pursuant to Section 26(b) of the 1940 Act. Upon
request, the Company will promptly furnish to the Fund and the Underwriter the
opinion of counsel for the Company (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Fund and the Underwriter) to the effect that any redemption
pursuant to clause (ii) above is a Legally Required Redemption. Furthermore,
except in cases where permitted under the terms of the Contracts, the Company
shall not prevent Contract Owners from allocating payments to a Portfolio that
was otherwise available under the Contracts without first giving the Fund or the
Underwriter 90 days notice of its intention to do so.

      10.4 Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, each party's
obligation under Article VIII to indemnify the other parties shall survive.

      10.5 Any successor by law of the parties hereto shall be entitled to the
benefits of the indemnification provisions contained in Article VII.

proceeds, but in no event may such payment be delayed longer than the period

the Company of any income, dividends or capital gain distributions payable on

                                    - 15 -

for the cost of registration and qualification of the Fund's shares, preparation
and filing of the Fund's prospectus and registration statement, Fund proxy
materials and reports, setting in type, printing and distributing the
prospectuses, the proxy materials and reports to existing shareholders and
contractowners, the preparation of all statements and notices required by any
federal or state law, all taxes on the issuance or transfer of the Fund's
shares, and any expenses permitted to be paid or assumed by the Fund pursuant to
a plan, if any, under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                 DIVERSIFICATION

      6.1. The Fund will at all times invest money from the Contracts in such a
manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as variable contracts
under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations issued thereunder. Without
limiting the scope of the foregoing, the Fund will comply with Section 81 7(h)
of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5, relating to the
diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance
contracts and any amendments or other modifications to such Section or
Regulations. In the event of a breach of this Article VI by the Fund, it will
take all reasonable steps (a) to notify the Company of such breach and (b) to
adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance within the grace
period afforded by Treasury Regulation 1.817-5.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                               POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

      7.1. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Fund Board") will monitor the
Fund for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict among the
interests of the contractowners of

                                    - 16 -

<PAGE>   17



all separate accounts investing in the Fund. An irreconcilable material conflict
may arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state
insurance regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state
insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private
letter ruling, no-action or interpretative letter, or any similar action by
insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or
judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the
investments of any Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting
instructions given by Participating Insurance Companies or by variable annuity
contract and variable life insurance contractowners; or (f) a decision by an
insurer to disregard the voting instructions of contractowners. The Board shall
promptly inform the Company if it determines that an irreconcilable material
conflict exists and the implications thereof. A majority of the Fund Board shall
consist of persons who are not "interested" persons of the Fund.

      7.2. The Company has reviewed a copy of the Mixed and Shared Funding
Exemptive Order, and in particular, has reviewed the conditions to the requested
relief set forth therein. As set forth in the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive
Order, the Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of which it
is aware to the Fund Board. The Company agrees to assist the Fund Board in
carrying out its responsibilities under the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive
Order, by providing the Fund Board with all information reasonably necessary for
the Fund Board to consider any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited
to, an obligation by the Company to inform the Fund Board whenever contractowner
voting instructions are disregarded. The Fund Board shall record in its minutes
or other appropriate records, all reports received by it and all action with
regard to a conflict.

                                    - 17 -

<PAGE>   18



      7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Fund Board, or a majority of
its disinterested Directors, that an irreconcilable material conflict exists,
the Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense
and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested Directors), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including: (1)
withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from
the Fund or any Portfolio and rein vesting such assets in a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote
of all affected contractowners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of
any appropriate group (i.e., variable annuity contractowners or variable life
insurance contractowners, of one or more Participating Insurance Companies) that
votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected contractowners
the option of making such a change; and (2) establishing a new registered
management investment company or managed separate account.

      7.4. If the Company's disregard of voting instructions could conflict with
the majority of contractowner voting instructions, and the Company's judgment
represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the Company
may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the Account's investment in
the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account. Any such
withdrawal and termination shall take place within six (6) months after written
notice is given that this provision is being implemented. Until such withdrawal
and termination is implemented, the Underwriter and the Fund shall continue to
accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase and redemption of
shares of the Fund. Such

                                    - 18 -

<PAGE>   19



withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the
foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of
disinterested Directors.

      7.5. If a particular state insurance regulator's decision applicable to
the Company conflicts with the majority of other state insurance regulators,
then the Company will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund and
terminate this Agreement with respect to such Account within six (6) months
after the Fund informs the Company in writing that it has determined that such
decision has created an irreconcilable material conflict. Until such withdrawal
and termination is implemented, the Underwriter and the Fund shall continue to
accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase and redemption of
shares of the Fund. Such withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the
extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict as determined
by a majority of disinterested Directors.

      7.6. For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a
majority of the disinterested members of the Fund Board shall determine whether
any proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict,
but in no event with the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for
the Contracts. The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a
new funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by
vote of a majority of contractowners materially adversely affected by the
irreconcilable material conflict.

      7.7. The Company shall at least annually submit to the Fund Board such
reports, materials or data as the Fund Board may reasonably request so that the
Fund Board may fully carry out the duties imposed upon it as delineated in the
Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive

                                    - 19 -

<PAGE>   20



Order, and said reports, materials and data shall be submitted more frequently
if deemed appropriate by the Fund Board.

      7.8. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3 (T) are amended, or
Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the Act
or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding (as
defined in the Mixed and Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions
materially different from those contained in the Mixed and Shared Funding
Exemptive Order, (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as
appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules 6e-2
and 6e-3 (T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such rules
are applicable; and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of this
Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions
substantially identical to such Sections are contained in such Rule(s) as so
amended or adopted.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      8.1.  Indemnification By The Company

            (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, the
Underwriter, and each of the Fund's or the Underwriter's directors, officers,
employees or agents and each person, if any, who controls the Fund or the
Underwriter within the meaning of such terms under the federal securities laws
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.1)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid
in settlement with the written consent of the Company) or litigation (including
reasonable legal and other expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may
become subject under any statute,

regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements:

                  (i)   arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or
                        alleged untrue statements of any material fact contained
                        in the registration statement, prospectus or statement
                        of information for the Contracts or contained in the
                        Contracts or sales literature or other promotional
                        material for the Contracts (or any amendment or
                        supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or
                        are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to
                        state therein a material fact required to be stated
                        therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
                        misleading in light of the circumstances in which they
                        were made; provided that this agreement to indemnify
                        shall not apply as to any indemnified party if such
                        statement or omission or such alleged statement or
                        omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
                        with information furnished to the Company by or on
                        behalf of the Fund for use in the registration
                        statement, prospectus or statement of information for
                        the Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature
                        (or any amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in
                        connection with the sale of the Contracts or Fund
                        shares; or

                  (ii)  arise out of or as a result of statements or
                        representations by or on behalf of the Company (other
                        than statements or representations contained in the Fund
                        registration statement, Fund prospectus or sales
                        literature or other promotional material of the Fund not
                        supplied by the Company or persons under its control) or
                        wrongful conduct of the Company or persons under its
                        control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the
                        Contracts or Fund shares; or

                  (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue

                        registration statement, Fund prospectus, statement of
                        additional information or sales literature or other
                        promotional material of the Fund or any amendment
                        thereof or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged
                        omission to state therein a material fact required to be
                        stated therein or necessary to make the statements
                        therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in
                        which they were made, if such a statement or omission
                        was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
                        information furnished to the Fund by or on behalf of the
                        Company or persons under its control; or

                        provide the services and furnish the materials or to
                        make any payments under the terms of this Agreement; or

                  (v)   arise out of any material breach of any representation
                        and/or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or
                        arise out of or result from any other material breach by
                        the Company of this Agreement;

except to the extent provided in Sections 8.1(b) and 8.3 hereof. This
indemnification shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may
otherwise have.

            (b) No party shall be entitled to indemnification if such loss,
claim, damage, liability or litigation is due to the willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the party seeking
indemnification.

            (c) The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the Company of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection with
the issuance or sale of the Fund shares or the Contracts or the operation of the
Fund.

            8.2.  Indemnification By the Underwriter

            (a) The Underwriter, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Fund,
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors,
officers, employees or agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of such terms under the federal securities laws
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.2)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid
in settlement with the written consent of the Underwriter) or litigation
(including reasonable legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties
may become subject under any statute,

                        in the registration statement, prospectus or statement
                        of additional information for the Fund or sales
                        literature or other promotional material of the Fund (or
                        any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or

                        statements therein not misleading in light of the
                        circumstances in which they were made; provided that
                        this agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any
                        indemnified party if such statement or omission or such
                        alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon
                        and in conformity with information furnished to the
                        Underwriter or Fund by or on behalf of the Company for
                        use in the registration statement, prospectus or
                        statement of additional information for the Fund or in
                        sales literature of the Fund (or any amendment or

                        with the sale of the Contracts or Fund shares; or

                        Underwriter or the Fund respectively) or wrongful
                        conduct of the Underwriter or the Fund or persons under

                        statement of a material fact contained in a registration
                        statement, prospectus, statement of additional
                        information or sales literature or other promotional

                        conformity with information furnished to the Company by
                        or on behalf of the Underwriter or the Fund or persons
                        under the control of the Underwriter or the Fund; or

                  (iv)  arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to provide
                        the services and furnish the materials under the terms
                        of this Agreement (including a failure, whether
                        unintentional or in good faith or otherwise, to comply
                        with the diversification requirements and procedures
                        related thereto specified in Article VI of this
                        Agreement); or

                  (v)   arise out of or result from any material breach of any
                        representation and/or warranty made by the Underwriter
                        or the Fund in this Agreement or arise out of or result
                        from any other material breach of this Agreement by the
                        Underwriter or the Fund;

except to the extent provided in Sections 8.2(b) and 8.3 hereof. This
indemnification shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may
otherwise have.

            (b) No party shall be entitled to indemnification if such loss,
claim, damage, liability or litigation is due to the willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the party seeking
indemnification.

            (c) The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the Underwriter of
the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection
with the issuance or sale of the Contracts or the operation of the Account.

            8.3.  Indemnification Procedure

            Any person obligated to provide indemnification under this Article
VIII ("Indemnifying Party" for the purpose of this Section 8.3) shall not be
liable under the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII with respect to
any claim made against a party entitled to indemnification under this Article
VIII ("Indemnified Party" for the purpose of this Section 8.3) unless such
indemnified party shall have notified the indemnifying party in writing

                                    - 24 -

<PAGE>   25



within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
indemnified party (or after such party shall have received notice of such
service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the indemnifying party
of any such claim shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
which it may have to the indemnified party against whom such action is brought
under the indemnification provision of this Article VIII, except to the extent
that the failure to notify results in the failure of actual notice to the
indemnifying party and such indemnifying party is damaged solely as a result of
failure to give such notice. In case any such action is brought against the
indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate, at
its own expense, in the defense thereof. The indemnifying party also shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party
named in the action. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified
party of the indemnifying party's election to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnified party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel
retained by it, and the indemnifying party will not be liable to such party
under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such party independently in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or
(ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. The indemnifying party shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent
but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff,

                                    - 25 -

<PAGE>   26



the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

            A successor by law of the parties to this Agreement shall be
entitled to the benefits of the indemnification contained in this Article VIII.
The indemnification provisions contained in this Article VIII shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 APPLICABLE LAW

      9.1. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions hereof
interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

      9.2. This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the 1933, 1934

            1.9. The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for each
Portfolio available to the Company on each Business Day as soon as reasonably
practical after the net asset value per share is calculated, and shall use its
best efforts to make such net asset value per share available by 7 p.m. Eastern
time. If the Fund provides incorrect share net asset value information, the
Company shall be entitled to an adjustment to the number of shares purchased or
redeemed to reflect the correct net asset value per share. Any error in the
calculation or reporting of net asset value per share, dividend or capital gains
information, shall be reported promptly upon discovery to the Company.


                                   ARTICLE II

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

            2.1. The Company represents and warrants that the Contracts are or
will be registered under the 1933 Act; and that the Contracts will be issued and
sold in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Federal and
State laws. The Company further represents and warrants that it is an insurance
company duly organized and in good standing under applicable law and that it has
legally and validly established each Account prior to any issuance or sale
thereof as a segregated asset account under the laws of the Company's state of
domicile and has registered or, prior to any issuance or sale of the Contracts,
will register each Account as a unit investment trust in accordance with the
provisions of the 1940 Act to serve as a segregated investment account for the
Contracts.

            2.2. The Fund represents and warrants that Fund shares sold pursuant
to this Agreement shall be registered under the 1933 Act, duly authorized for
issuance and sold in compliance with the laws of the Company's state of domicile
and all applicable federal and state securities laws and that the Fund is and
shall remain registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund shall amend the
Registration Statement for its shares under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act from
time to time as required in order to effect the continuous offering of its
shares.

            2.3. The Fund represents that it is currently qualified as a
Regulated Investment Company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and that it will make every effort to maintain
such qualification (under Subchapter M or any successor or similar provision),
and that it will notify the Company immediately in the event that there is a
reasonable basis for believing that the Fund has ceased to so qualify or that it
might not so qualify in the future.


<PAGE>   5



            2.4. Subject to Article VI hereto, the Company represents that the
Contracts are currently treated as endowment, life insurance, or annuity
contracts under applicable provisions of the Code, and that it will make every
effort to maintain such treatment, and that it will notify the Fund immediately
upon having a reasonable basis for believing that the Contracts have ceased to
be so treated or that they might not be so treated in the future.

            2.5. The Fund currently does not intend to make any payments to
finance distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act or
otherwise, although it may make such payments in the future. To the extent that
it decides to finance distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund
undertakes to have a board of trustees, a majority of whom are not interested
persons of the Fund, formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance
distribution expenses.

            2.6. The Fund represents and warrants that it will use its best
efforts to ensure that the investment policies, fees and expenses of the
Portfolios are and shall at all times remain in compliance with applicable
insurance and other applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the
State of Indiana and any other applicable state, to the extent required to
perform this Agreement or to the extent specifically requested in writing by the
Company.

            2.7. The Distributor represents and warrants that it is registered 
as a broker-dealer with the SEC, and is a member in good standing of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The Distributor further
represents that it shall perform its obligations to the Fund in accordance with
the laws of the Company's state of domicile and all applicable state and
federal securities laws, including without limitation the 1933 Act, the 1934
Act, and the 1940 Act.

            2.8. The Fund represents that it is lawfully organized and validly
existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that it does
and will comply in all material respects with the 1940 Act.

            2.9. The Distributor represents and warrants that it is and shall
remain duly registered in all material respects under all applicable federal and
state securities laws and that the Distributor shall perform its obligations for
the Fund in compliance in all material respects with the laws of the Company's
state of domicile and any applicable state and federal securities laws.


                                   ARTICLE III

                  PROSPECTUSES AND PROXY STATEMENTS: VOTING

            3.1. The Distributor shall provide the Company with as many copies
of the Fund's current prospectus(es) describing only the Portfolio(s) listed on
Schedule A hereto as the Company may reasonably request. If requested by the
Company in lieu thereof, the Fund shall provide such documentation (including a
final copy of the new prospectus as set in type at the Fund's expense) and other
assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company once


<PAGE>   6



each year (or more frequently if the prospectus for the Fund is amended more
frequently) to have the prospectus for the Contracts and the Fund's prospectus
printed together in one document. The Fund shall bear the expense of printing
copies of its current prospectus and statement of additional information that
will be distributed to existing Contract owners, and the Company shall bear the
expense of printing copies of the Fund prospectus that are used in connection
with offering the Contracts issued by the Company.

            3.2. The Fund's prospectus shall state that the Statement of
Additional Information for the Fund is available from the Fund, and the
Distributor, at its expense, shall print and provide such Statement free of
charge to the Company and to any owner of a Contract or prospective owner who
requests such Statement.

            3.3. The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company with copies
of its proxy statements, reports to current shareholders, and other
communications to current shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall
reasonably require for distributing to Contract owners.

            3.4. So long as, and to the extent that, the Commission interprets
the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges for Contract owners, the
Company will provide pass-through voting privileges to Contract owners whose
cash values are invested, through the registered Accounts, in shares of one or
more Portfolios of the Fund. The Fund shall require all Participating Insurance
Companies to calculate voting privileges in the same manner and the Company
shall be responsible for assuring that the Accounts calculate voting privileges
in the manner established by the Fund. With respect to each registered Account,
the Company will vote shares of each Portfolio of the Fund held by a registered
Account and for which no timely voting instructions from Contract owners are
received in the same proportion as those shares for which voting instructions
are received. The Company reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law, to
vote shares held in any Account in its sole discretion.

            3.5. The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act
requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either provide
for annual meetings or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act as well as with
Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b). Further, the Fund will act in
accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's interpretation of the
requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic elections of trustees and
with whatever rules the Commission may promulgate with respect thereto.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         SALES MATERIAL AND INFORMATION

            4.4. The Fund and the Distributor shall not give any information or
make any representations on behalf of the Company or concerning the Company,
each Account, or the Contracts other than the information or representations
contained in a registration statement or prospectus for the Contracts, as such
registration statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time
to time, or in published reports for each Account which are in the public domain
or approved by the Company for distribution to Contract owners, or in sales
literature or other promotional material approved by the Company or its
designee, except with the permission of the Company.

            4.5. The Fund will provide to the Company at least one complete copy
of all registration statements, prospectuses, Statements of Additional
Information, reports, proxy statements, sales literature and other promotional
materials, applications for exemptions, requests for no-action letters, and all
amendments to any of the above, that relate to the Fund or its shares,
contemporaneously with the filing of such document with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or other regulatory authorities.

            4.6. The Company will provide to the Fund at least one complete copy
of all registration statements, prospectuses, Statements of Additional
Information, reports, solicitations for voting instructions, sales literature
and other promotional materials, applications for exemptions, requests for

            5.1. All expenses incident to performance by the Fund under this
Agreement shall be paid by the Fund. The Fund shall see to it that all its

                                 DIVERSIFICATION

            6.1. The Fund will at all times invest assets of the Portfolios in
such manner to permit the Portfolios to be used for investment by separate

insurance contracts, as set forth under the Code and regulations thereunder.
Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, the Fund will at all times comply
with Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.817-5,
relating to the diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or
life insurance contracts and any amendments or other modifications to such
Section or Regulations. In the event of a breach of this Article VI by the Fund,
it will take all reasonable steps (a) to notify Company of such breach and (b)
to adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance with the grace
period afforded by Regulation Section 1.817-5.


                                   ARTICLE VII



<PAGE>   9



                               POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

            7.1. The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any
material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners of
all separate accounts investing in the Fund. An irreconcilable material conflict
may arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state
insurance regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state
insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private
letter ruling, no-action or interpretative letter, or any similar action by
insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or
judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the
investments of any Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting
instructions given by variable annuity contract and variable life insurance
contract owners or by contract owners of different life insurance companies
investing in the Fund; or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard the voting
instructions of contract owners. The Board shall promptly inform the Company if
it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the
implications thereof.

            7.2. The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of
which it is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board in carrying
out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, by providing
the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider
any issues raised.

This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the Company to inform the
Board whenever contract owner voting instructions are disregarded.

            7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority
of its disinterested trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists,
the Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense
and to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflicts up to and including: (1)
withdrawing the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from
the Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether (i) withdrawal of assets from the Fund or (ii)
segregation of assets should be implemented and, as appropriate, withdrawing or
segregating the assets of any particular group (i.e., annuity contract owners,
life insurance contract owners or qualified contract owners) that votes in favor
of such withdrawal or segregation, or offering to the affected contract owners
the option of making such a change; and (2) establishing a new registered
management investment company or managed separate account.

            7.4. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a
decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that
decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the
Company may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the affected
Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to
such Account; provided, however that such withdrawal and termination shall be
limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict
as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. No charge
or penalty will be imposed


<PAGE>   10



against an Account or the Company as a result of such withdrawal. The Company
agrees that any remedial action taken by it in resolving any material conflicts
of interest will be carried out with a view only to the interests of Contract
owners.

            7.5. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a
particular state insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company
conflicts with the majority of other state regulators, then the Company will
withdraw the affected Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this
Agreement with respect to such Account; provided, however, that such withdrawal
and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the foregoing
material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board.

            7.6. For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether any
proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in
no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the
Contracts. The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new
funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote
of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the
irreconcilable material conflict. In the event that the Board determines that
any proposed action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material
conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund
and terminate this Agreement, provided, however, that such withdrawal and
termination shall be limited to the extent required by any such material
irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members
of the Board.

            7.7. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are
amended, or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision
of the Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared
funding (as defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and
conditions materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding
Exemptive Order, then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies,
as appropriate, shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules
6e-2 and 6e-3(T), as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such
rules are applicable; and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of
this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the extent that terms and
conditions substantially identical to such Sections are contained in such
Rule(s) as so amended or adopted.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

            8.1.  Indemnification By The Company

            8.1(a). The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Distributor, the Fund and each of its trustees, officers, employees and agents,
and each person, if any, who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15
of the 1933 Act (collectively, the


<PAGE>   11



"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.1) against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with
the written consent of the Company) or litigation (including legal and other
expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any
statute, regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements
are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund's shares or the Contracts
and:

                  (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or
            alleged untrue statements of any material fact contained in the
            Registration Statement or prospectus for the Contracts or contained
            in the Contracts or sales literature for the Contracts (or any
            amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or
            are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein
            a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
            the statements therein not misleading, provided that this agreement
            to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such
            statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made
            in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the
            Company by or on behalf of the Fund or the Distributor for use in
            the Registration Statement or prospectus for the Contracts or in the
            Contracts or sales literature (or any amendment or supplement) or
            otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts or
            Fund shares; or

                  (ii) arise out of or as a result of statements or
            representations (other than statements or representations contained
            in the Registration Statement or prospectus or sales literature of
            the Fund not supplied by the Company, or by persons under its
            control) or wrongful conduct of the Company or persons under its
            control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the Contracts
            or Fund Shares; or

                  (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
            statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement,
            prospectus, or sales literature of the Fund or any amendment thereof
            or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state
            therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
            to make the statements therein not misleading if such a statement or
            omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Fund
            by or on behalf of the Company; or

                  (iv) arise out of or result from any material breach of any
            representation and/or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement
            or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this
            Agreement by the Company, as limited by and in accordance with the
            provisions of Sections 8.l(b) and 8.l(c) hereof; or

                  (v) arise out of or result from any failure by the Company to
            provide the services or furnish the materials required under the
            terms of this Agreement; or


<PAGE>   12



                  (vi) arise out of or result from the provision by the Company
            to the Fund of insufficient or incorrect information regarding the
            purchase or sale of shares of any Portfolio, or the failure of the
            Company to provide such information on a timely basis.

            8.1(b). The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation
incurred or assessed against an Indemnified Party as may arise from such
Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the
performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such Indemnified
Party's reckless disregard of obligations or duties under this Agreement or to
the Fund, whichever is applicable.

            8.1(c). The Company shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Company in writing within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of
such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Company of any
such claim shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to
the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on
account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought
against the Indemnified Parties, the Company shall be entitled to participate,
at its own expense, in the defense of such action. The Company also shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party
named in the action. After notice from the Company to such party of the
Company's election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall
bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the
Company will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

            8.1(d). The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the Company of
the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in connection
with the issuance or sale of the Fund Shares or the Contracts or the operation
of the Fund.

      8.2.  Indemnification by the Distributor

            8.2(a). The Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and each of its directors, officers, employees, and agents and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
1933 Act (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section
8.2) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts
paid in settlement with the written consent of the Distributor) or litigation
(including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may become
subject under any statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or
settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund's shares or the
Contracts and:



<PAGE>   13



                  (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
            alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
            Registration Statement or prospectus or sales literature of the Fund
            (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise
            out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to
            state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
            necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided
            that this agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any
            Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such alleged
            statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
            with information furnished to the Distributor or Fund by or on
            behalf of the Company for use in the Registration Statement or
            prospectus for the Fund or in sales literature (or any amendment or
            supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the
            Contracts or Fund shares; or

                  (ii) arise out of or as a result of statements or
            representations (other than statements or representations contained
            in the Registration Statement, prospectus or sales literature for
            the Contracts not supplied by the Distributor or persons under his
            control) or wrongful conduct of the Fund, Distributor or persons
            under their control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the
            Contracts or Fund shares; or

                  (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
            statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement,
            prospectus, or sales literature covering the Contracts, or any
            amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged
            omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
            therein or necessary to make the statement or statements therein not
            misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon
            information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Fund; or

                  (iv) arise as a result of any failure by the Fund whether
            unintentional or in good faith or otherwise, to comply with the
            diversification requirements specified in Article VI of this
            Agreement; or

                  (v) arise out of or result from any material breach of any
            representation and/or warranty made by the Distributor in this
            Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach
            of this Agreement by the Distributor; as limited by and in
            accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.2(b) and 8.2(c) hereof;
            or

                  (vi) arise out of or result from any failure by the
            Distributor or the Fund to provide the services or furnish the
            materials required under the terms of this Agreement; or

                  (vii) arise out of or result from the provision by the Fund or
            the Distributor to the Company of insufficient or incorrect
            information regarding the


<PAGE>   14



            net asset value per share of any Portfolio, or the failure of the
            Fund or the Distributor to provide such information by 7 p.m.
            Eastern time.

            8.2(b). The Distributor shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be
subject by reason of such Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or
gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by
reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties
under this Agreement or to each Company or the Account, whichever is applicable.

            8.2(c). The Distributor shall not be liable under this
indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified
Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Distributor in
writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process
giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice
of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Distributor
of any such claim shall not relieve the Distributor from any liability which it
may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise
than on account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is
brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Distributor will be entitled to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Distributor also
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to
the party named in the action. After notice from the Distributor to such party
of the Distributor's election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified
Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by
it, and the Distributor will not be liable to such party under this Agreement
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such party
independently in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.

            8.2(d). The Company agrees promptly to notify the Distributor of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers
or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Contracts or the
operation of each Account.

      8.3.  Indemnification By the Fund

            8.3(a). The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.3) against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with
the written consent of the Fund) or litigation (including legal and other
expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute,
at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements result from the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Board or any member thereof,
are related to the operations of the Fund and:



<PAGE>   15



                  (i) arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to provide
            the services and furnish the materials under the terms of this
            Agreement, or to comply with the diversification requirements
            specified in Article VI of this Agreement; or

                  (ii) arise out of or result from any material breach of any
            representation and/or warranty made by the Fund in this Agreement or
            arise out of or result from any other material breach of this
            Agreement by the Fund; as limited by and in accordance with the
            provisions of Sections 8.3(b) and 8.3(c) hereof; or

                  (iii) arise out of or result from the provision by the
            Distributor or the Fund to the Company of insufficient or incorrect
            information regarding the net asset value per share of any
            Portfolio, or the failure of the Distributor or Fund to provide such
            information by 7 p.m. Eastern time.

            8.3(b). The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation
incurred or assessed against an Indemnified Party as such may arise from such
Indemnified Party's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the
performance of such Indemnified Party's duties or by reason of such Indemnified
Party's reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or to
the Company, the Fund, the Distributor, or each Account, whichever is
applicable.

            8.3(c). The Fund shall not be liable under this indemnification
provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless
such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Fund in writing within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of
such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Fund of any
such claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which it may have to
the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on
account of this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought
against the Indemnified Parties, the Fund will be entitled to participate, at
its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Fund also shall be entitled to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the
action. After notice from the Fund to such party of the Fund's election to
assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and
expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Fund will not be
liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such party independently in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

            8.3(d). The Company and the Distributor agree promptly to notify the
Fund of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of
its respective officers or directors in connection with this Agreement, the
issuance or sale of the Contracts, with respect to the operation of either
Account, or the sale or acquisition of shares of the Fund.

                           [LETTERHEAD OF IL ANNUITY]


                                 April 30, 1998

IL Annuity and Insurance Company
Separate Account 1
P.O. Box 7149
Indianapolis, Indiana 46206

Gentlemen and Ladies:

            In my capacity as Counsel of IL Annuity and Insurance Company (the
"Company"), I am rendering the following opinion in connection with the filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form
N-4 under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940.
This Registration Statement is being filed with respect to flexible variable
annuity contracts (the "Contracts") issued by IL Annuity and Insurance Company
Separate Account 1 (the "Account").

            In forming the following opinion, I have made such examination of
law and examined such records and other documents as in my judgment are
necessary and appropriate.

            It is my opinion that:

            1.    The Account is a separate investment account of the Company
                  and is duly created and validly existing pursuant to the laws
                  of the State of Massachusetts.

            2.    The Contracts, when issued in accordance with the Prospectus
                  of the Account and in compliance with applicable local law,
                  are and will be legal and binding obligations of the Company
                  in accordance with their terms.

            3.    Assets attributable to reserves and other contract liabilities
                  and held in the Account will not be chargeable with
                  liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may
                  conduct.

            I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
above-mentioned Registration Statement and to the inclusion of my name under the
caption "Legal Matters" in the Statement of Additional Information filed as part
of this Registration Statement on Form N-4.

                                    Very truly yours,
