Survivorship Flexible Premium Adjustable Variable Life Insurance Policy*
Issued by C.M. Life Insurance Company
 
 
This prospectus describes a survivorship life insurance policy (the “policy”) offered by C.M. Life Insurance Company (“C.M. Life”). While the policy is in force, it provides lifetime insurance protection on the two Insureds named in the policy. It pays a death benefit at the death of the surviving Insured (the “second death”).
 
In this prospectus, “you” and “your” refer to the Owner of the policy. “We,” “us,” and “our” refer to C.M. Life. “MassMutual” refers to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. C.M. Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of MassMutual.
 
The policy provides premium-payment and death-benefit flexibility. It permits you to vary the frequency and amount of premium payments and to increase or decrease the death benefit. This flexibility allows you to meet changing insurance needs under a single insurance policy.
 
You may allocate net premiums and account value among the divisions of the Separate Account offered under this policy and a Guaranteed Principal Account (the “GPA”). Each division invests in shares of a designated investment fund. Currently, the funds listed at the right are available under this policy.
 
You bear the investment risk of any account value allocated to the investment funds. The death benefit may vary, and the net surrender value will vary, depending on the investment performance of the funds.
 
This Policy is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any financial institution. It is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other federal agency. It is also subject to investment risks, including loss of the principal amount invested.
 
We service the policy at our Administrative Office located at 1295 State Street, Springfield, Massachusetts 01111-0001. Our telephone number is (413) 788-8411. Our Home Office is located in Hartford, Connecticut.
 
This prospectus is not an offer to sell the policy in any jurisdiction where it is illegal to offer the policy or to anyone to whom it is illegal to offer the policy.
 
This policy provides insurance protection. It is not a way to invest in mutual funds. Replacing an existing life insurance policy with this policy may not be to your advantage.
 
Please read this prospectus and keep it for further reference.

I. Introduction
 
Please refer to Appendix A, for definitions of the terms contained in this prospectus.
 
You should consult your policy for more information about its terms and conditions, and for any state-specific variations that may apply to your policy. These variations will depend on the “contract state” of your policy; it is usually the state or other jurisdiction in which you live. Also, in some states, this product may be offered as a certificate pursuant to a group survivorship variable universal life insurance policy. A purchaser should consult the certificate for a full understanding of its terms and conditions. For those purchasing certificates, the word “policy” in this prospectus should be read as “certificate.”
 
The policy is a life insurance contract providing a death benefit, an account value, surrender rights, policy loan privileges, and other features traditionally associated with life insurance. The policy is a “survivorship” policy because it provides life insurance on two insured lives and pays a death benefit at the time of the second death.
 
There is no fixed schedule of premium payments. You may establish a schedule of premium payments (“planned premium payments”); but if a planned premium payment is not made the policy will not necessarily terminate. If planned premium payments are made, they do not guarantee that the policy will remain in force. The policy allows you to vary premium payments with your income flows or other financial decisions.
 
You may increase or decrease the death benefit and change the Death Benefit Option under the policy. Further, the death benefit may vary, and the net surrender value will vary, with the investment experience of the investment funds in which an Owner has account value. Policy values in the GPA will earn interest at a guaranteed rate of 3%. We may credit interest periodically at rates that exceed the guaranteed rate.
 
The following diagram summarizes how the policy works.
 
 
 
HOW THE POLICY WORKS
 
Premium Payment
 
We deduct a premium expense
charge from each premium payment.
 
ê
 
Net Premium
 
We allocate the net premium and
account value among the divisions
of the Separate Account and the
GPA based on the percentages you

Investment Earnings
 
Each day we credit or debit the

divisions of the Separate Account
less fund investment management
fees and Separate Account fees.
 
è
 
We also credit interest on values
in the GPA.
 
Death Benefit
 
You have a choice of three Death
Benefit Options. You can change the
Option at a later date.
ê
 
 
Account Value
 
You determine how the account
value is allocated among the
available investment options.
 

 

í                                                                                 î
Account Value Charges
 è
Each month we deduct charges
for administrative, insurance,
and rider expenses.
 
Access to Account Value
While Policy In Force
 
è
You may access account values
through loans and withdrawals
after the first Policy Year.
 
Policy Surrender
 
You may surrender your policy at
any time. If you surrender during
the first 14 years after Policy Date
or after any increase in Face
Amount is effective, we deduct a
surrender charge from any amount
we pay you.

1 MassMutual agreed to bear expenses of the MML Equity Fund, MML Managed Bond Fund, MML Blend Fund, MML Money Market Fund, MML Small Cap Value Equity Fund, MML Growth Equity Fund and MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund, (other than the management fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) in excess of 0.11% of the average daily net asset value of the Funds through April 30, 2001. The expenses shown for the MML Small Cap Value Equity Fund, MML Growth Equity Fund and MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund include this reimbursement. If not included, the Other Expenses for these Funds in 2000 are estimated to be 0.44% for the MML Small Cap Value Equity Fund, 0.36%, for the MML Growth Equity Fund and 0.36% for the MML Small Cap Growth Equity Fund. MassMutual does not expect that it will be required to reimburse any expenses of the MML Equity Fund, the MML Managed Bond Fund, the MML Blend Fund, and the MML Money Market Fund in 2000.
 
2 Effective May 1, 2000, the MML Equity Index Fund consists of different share classes. The annual fund expenses shown for the MML Equity Index Fund—Class II Shares are based on amounts for the Fund as of December 31, 1999. MassMutual agreed to bear expenses of the MML Equity Index Fund—Class II Shares (other than the management fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) in excess of 0.19% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund through April 30, 2001. The expenses shown for the MML Equity Index Fund—Class II Shares include this reimbursement or waiver. If not included, the Other Expenses for this Fund in 2000 would be 0.29%. Without such reductions, the total fund expenses for the MML Equity Index Fund Class II Shares would be 0.39%.
 
3 Prior to May 1, 1999, the Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA was called the Oppenheimer Growth Fund. The Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Division invests in the Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA. Prior to August 30, 1999, the Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Division was called the Oppenheimer Growth Division.
 
4 A portion of the brokerage commissions that Fidelity’s VIP II Contrafund pays was used to reduce the Other Expenses for the Portfolio. In addition, Fidelity’s VIP II Contrafund, or the investment manager on behalf of the fund, entered into an arrangement with a fund custodian whereby credits realized as a result of non-invested cash balances were used to reduce custodian expenses. With such reductions, the Other Expenses became 0.07%, decreasing the Total Fund Operating Expenses to 0.65%.
 
5 Bankers Trust Company has voluntarily undertaken to waive its management fee and reimburse the Deutsche VIT Small Cap Index Fund certain expenses so that the total fund expenses for the Deutsche VIT Small Cap Index Fund will not exceed 0.45%. Bankers Trust Company may not recoup any of its waived investment advisory fees. Such waivers by Bankers Trust Company should stay in effect for at least 12 months. Without such waivers and reimbursements, the total fund expenses for the Deutsche VIT Small Cap Index Fund would have been 1.11%. Prior to May 1, 2000, the Deutsche VIT Small Cap Index Fund was called the BT Small Cap Index Fund.
 
Introduction
6 The fund’s expenses are based on estimated expenses for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, the investment advisers, have voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit certain other expenses (excluding management fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, litigation, indemnification and other extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed the percentage (calculated per annum) stated in the above table (as of each fund’s respective average daily net assets). Without the limitation described above, “Other Expenses” and “Total Fund Operating Expenses” of the funds would have been 0.94% and 1.69%, respectively.
 
7 Expenses are based upon expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, restated to reflect a reduction in the management fee. All expenses are shown without the effect of expense offset arrangements.
 
8 On 2/8/00, shareholders approved a merger and reorganization that combined the fund with the Templeton International Equity Fund, effective 5/1/00. The shareholders of that fund had approved new management fees, which apply to the combined fund effective 5/1/00. The table shows restated total expenses based on the new fees and the assets of the fund as of 12/31/99, and not the assets of the combined fund. However, if the table reflected both the new fees and the combined assets, the fund’s expenses after 5/1/00 would be estimated as: Management Fees 0.65%, Distribution and Service Fees 0.25%, Other Expenses 0.20%, and Total Fund Operating Expenses 1.10%. Prior to May 1, 2000, the Templeton International Securities Fund was called Templeton International Fund.
 
9 The fund’s Class 2 distribution plan or “rule 12b-1 plan” is described in the fund’s prospectus.

Introduction
 
II. Detailed Description of Policy Features
 
Purchasing the Policy
 
To purchase a policy, you must send a completed application to our Administrative Office. The minimum Initial Face Amount of a policy is currently $100,000. The policy can be issued for two Insureds where the older Insured is between the ages of 18 and 90 inclusive, and the younger Insured is between the ages of 18 and 85 inclusive. Before issuing a policy, we will require evidence of insurability. This usually will require a medical examination.
 
We determine whether to accept or reject the application for the policy and the Insureds’ risk classifications. If we do not accept the application, we will refund any premium paid.
 
Coverage under the policy becomes effective on the Issue Date of the policy or, if later, the date the first premium is paid. See Premiums for more about the first premium. For the first premium to be paid, we must receive it in good order.
 
Unisex Policy. Policies generally are issued with values that vary based on the genders of the Insureds. Policies purchased in Montana are “unisex”; that is, the policy values do not vary by the genders of the Insureds. Policies purchased elsewhere as part of an employee benefit plan also may have policy values that do not vary by the genders of the Insureds. References in the prospectus to sex-distinct policy values are not applicable to unisex policies. Upon request we will provide you illustrations showing the effect of unisex rates on premiums, net surrender values, and death benefits.
 
Right to Return the Policy. Once you receive your policy, you should review it carefully. If you are not satisfied with your policy, you may cancel it within 10 days after you receive it. (This period of time may vary by state.)
 
To cancel the policy, return it to us at our Administrative Office, to the agent who sold the policy, or to one of our agency offices. If you cancel your policy, we will give you a refund.
 
In most states, this refund is the sum of:
 
(i)
any premium paid for the policy; plus
 
(ii)
any interest credited to the policy under the GPA; plus or minus
 
(iii)
an amount reflecting the investment experience of the divisions of the Separate Account under this policy to the date we receive the policy; minus
 
(iv)
any amounts withdrawn and any policy debt.
 
In other states, this refund is equal to any premium paid for the policy, reduced by any amounts withdrawn and any policy debt.
 
Consult your policy to determine which refund applies under your policy. A few states have variations of these two refund types.
 
Death Benefit
 
While the policy is in force, we will pay the death benefit to the named Beneficiary at the second death. Although we normally will pay the death benefit within seven days of receiving satisfactory proof of the Insureds’ deaths, we may delay payments under certain circumstances. All or part of the death benefit can be paid in cash or under one or more of the payment options described in the policy.
 
Minimum Death Benefit. In order to qualify as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 7702, the policy has a minimum death benefit determined by one of two compliance tests. You choose the test when you apply for the policy. You cannot change your choice of test after the policy is issued.
Detailed Description of Policy Features
 
Under one test, the Cash Value Test, the minimum death benefit is equal to a percentage of the account value. The percentage depends on the genders (male, female, unisex), tobacco classifications, and Attained Ages of both Insureds.
 
Under the other test, the Guideline Premium Test, the minimum death benefit also is equal to a percentage of the account value, but the percentage varies only by the Attained Age of the younger Insured. The percentages are shown in the policy.
 
Your choice of the Guideline Premium Test or the Cash Value Test will depend on how you intend to pay premiums. In general, if you intend to pay premiums in early policy years only, the Cash Value Test may be more appropriate. If you intend to pay level premiums over a long period of years, the Guideline Premium Test may be more appropriate. You should see policy illustrations of both approaches to determine how the policy works under each approach, and which is better for you.
 
Death Benefit Options. The death benefit is the benefit provided under the Death Benefit Option in effect on the date of the second death. This benefit is reduced by any outstanding policy debt and any due but unpaid premium needed to avoid policy termination. You may choose one of three Death Benefit Options:
 
(a)
Option 1 (a level amount option) or
 
(b)
Options 2 or 3 (variable amount options).
 
You choose the Death Benefit Option in the application and you may change the option at a later date subject to certain restrictions described in Changes in Death Benefit Option.
 
The death benefit provided by Options 1, 2, and 3 is as follows.
 
Option 1—The benefit is the greater of:
 
(a)
the Face Amount on the date of the second death; and
 
(b)
the minimum death benefit on the date of the second death.
 
Option 2—The benefit is the greater of:
 
(a)
the Face Amount plus the account value on the date of the second death; and
 
(b)
the minimum death benefit on the date of the second death.
 
Option 3—The benefit is the greater of:
 
(a)
the Face Amount plus the premiums paid less any premiums refunded under the policy to the date of the second death; and
 
(b)
the minimum death benefit on the date of the second death.
 
See Appendix B for examples of how changes in account value and the amount of premiums paid may affect the death benefit of a policy.
 
Changes in Death Benefit Option. After the first Policy Year, you may change the Death Benefit Option. You must provide a written application and you may have to provide evidence that the Insureds still are insurable. The effective date of a change will be the Monthly Charge Date on or preceding the date we approve the change. A change in the Death Benefit Option will result in a change of the policy Face Amount. The death benefit under the new Death Benefit Option will be the same as the death benefit under the old Death Benefit Option at the time of the change.
 
You cannot change the Death Benefit Option if:
 
1.
the Face Amount is reduced to less than $100,000 as a result of the change;
 
2.
the Attained Age of the younger Insured has reached 85, or the older has reached 90; or
 
3.
only one of the Insureds is alive.
 
When the policy Face Amount changes as a result of a change in the Death Benefit Option, the monthly charges also will change. The change in Face Amount also may change the charges for certain additional benefits. The change in Face Amount will not change the policy surrender charge.
 
For examples of Death Benefit Option changes and how they impact the contract, see Appendix B.
 
Changes in Face Amount. You may request an increase or decrease in the Face Amount by submitting the request for a change of Face Amount to our Administrative Office. The Face Amount change will be effective on the Monthly Charge Date on or preceding our approval of the request.
 
Increases in Face Amount. You must provide us with a written application and evidence the Insureds still are insurable to increase your Face Amount. An increase may not be less than $50,000. You may not increase the Face Amount of the policy after the younger Insured reaches Attained Age 85 or, if earlier, after the older Insured reaches Attained Age 90.
 
If you increase the policy Face Amount, the monthly charges will increase.
 
Decreases in Face Amount. After the first Policy Year, you may decrease the policy Face Amount at any time (except during the 12-month period following a Face Amount increase). You may not decrease the Face Amount if the decrease would result in a Face Amount of less than $100,000.
 
If you decrease the Face Amount, a partial surrender charge may apply. (See Decrease in Face Amount in the Surrender Charges section of this Part.) We will deduct partial surrender charges from the division(s) of the Separate Account and from the GPA in proportion to the non-loaned values in each.
 
A decrease will reduce the Face Amount in the following order:
 
(a)
the Face Amount of the most recent increase; then
 
(b)
the Face Amounts of the next most recent increases successively; and last
 
(c)
the Initial Face Amount.
 
If you decrease the Face Amount, the monthly charges deducted from the account value will decrease.
 
If you decrease the Face Amount, the policy may become a “modified endowment contract” under federal tax law. Consult your tax adviser. (See also Modified Endowment Contracts in Part V.)
 
Premiums
 
The first premium must be paid before the policy can become effective. Thereafter, within limits you may make premium payments at any time and in any amount. Net premiums are allocated to the account value as you choose.
 
First Premium. Generally, you determine the first premium you want to pay for the policy; but it must be at least equal to the minimum initial premium. The minimum initial premium depends on your chosen premium frequency, Initial Face Amount and Death Benefit Option, and on the Issue Age, gender, and risk classification of each Insured.
 
Planned Premiums. When applying for the policy, you select the planned premium amount and the payment frequency (annual, semiannual, quarterly, or monthly check service). The planned premium must be at least $20. The amount of the planned premium and the payment frequency you select are shown in the policy. We will send you premium notices based on your selections. To change the amount and frequency of planned premiums, send a request to us at our Administrative Office.
 
If a planned premium payment is not made, the policy will not necessarily terminate. Conversely, making planned premium payments does not guarantee that the policy will remain in force. To keep the policy in force, you must either have a sufficient account value or meet the safety test. See Grace Period and Termination.
 
Premium Payments and Flexibility. After you have paid the first premium, within limits you may pay any amount at any time while at least one Insured is living. Send all premium payments to us either at our Administrative Office or at the address shown on the premium notice.
 
You may elect to pay premiums by pre-authorized check. Under this procedure, we automatically deduct premium payments each month from a bank account you designate. We will not send a bill for these automatic payments.
 
Premium Limitations. The minimum premium payment is $20.
 
If you choose the Cash Value Test to qualify your policy as life insurance, the maximum premium each Policy Year is the greatest of:
 
(a)
an amount equal to $100 plus double the Premium Expense Factor for the policy;
 
(b)
the amount of premium paid in the preceding Policy Year; and
 
(c)
the highest premium payment amount that would not increase the insurance risk (see Insurance Charges).
 
We may refund any amount of premium payment that exceeds the Cash Value Test limit.
 
If you choose the Guideline Premium Test, the maximum premium for each Policy Year is the lesser of:
 
(a)
the maximum premium for the Cash Value Test; and
 
(b)
the Guideline Premium Test amount which will be stated in the policy.
 
If you choose the Guideline Premium Test, we will refund any amount of premium payment that exceeds the Guideline Premium Test limit. In this case, you may instead increase the Face Amount, by meeting the requirements for the increase, so that the premium payment is within the increased premium limit. Otherwise, the policy would no longer qualify as life insurance under federal tax law.
 
Allocating Net Premiums. A net premium is a premium payment we receive in good order, minus the premium expense charge.
 
Net Premiums Received through Issue Date. We will allocate any net premiums received through the Issue Date of the policy to our general investment account. Any net premiums received before the Policy Date will be allocated as of that Date. We will credit interest at the rate(s) we use for the GPA during that time.
 
Register Date and Valuation Date. Net premiums credited to the policy on and after the Register Date will be allocated among the divisions and the GPA according to your net premium allocation. Also, any values in the policy held before the Register Date will be allocated on that Date among the divisions and the GPA according to your net premium allocation on that Date.
 
The Register Date must be a Valuation Date. A Valuation Date is any date on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
 
We set the Register Date for the policy. It depends on the type of refund offered under the Right To Return provision in your policy. Refer back to Purchasing the Policy for information about this provision.
 
If the refund includes interest and investment experience, the Register Date is the Valuation Date that is on, or next follows, the later of:
 
(a)
the day after the Issue Date of the policy; and
 
(b)
the day we receive the first premium payment in good order.
 
If the refund does not include interest or investment experience:
 
1.
The Register Date is the first Valuation Date after the end of the Right To Return period;
8
Detailed Description of Policy Features
 
2.
Any net premiums received after the Issue Date but before the Register Date will be allocated to the Money Market division; and
 
3.
Any values in the policy held as of the Issue Date will be allocated to the Money Market division on the first Valuation Date after the Issue Date.
 
Net Premium Allocation. When applying for the policy, you indicate how you want net premiums allocated among the divisions and the GPA. You may change your net premium allocation at any time. Just send a notice to us at our Administrative Office.
 
You may set your net premium allocation in terms of whole-number percentages that add to 100%. (Also see Overall Limitation on Net Premium Allocations and Transfers.)
 
Transfers
 
You may transfer all or part of the account value invested in a division of the Separate Account to any other division or to the GPA. Simply send us a request. Although currently there is no limit on the number of transfers you may make, we reserve the right to limit the number to no more than one every 90 days. If we impose a limit, it would not apply to a transfer of all funds in the Separate Account divisions to the GPA or to transfers made in connection with any automated-transfer program we offer.
 
We limit transfers from the GPA to the Separate Account divisions to one each Policy Year. You may not transfer more than 25% of the fixed account value (less any policy debt) at the time of the transfer. There is one exception to this rule. If you:
 
Ÿ
have transferred 25% of the fixed account value each year for three consecutive Policy Years; and have neither
 
Ÿ
allocated net premiums to the GPA , nor
 
Ÿ
transferred any money into the GPA during these three Years; then
 
you may transfer the remainder of the fixed account value (less any policy debt) out of the GPA in the succeeding Policy Year. In this case, you must transfer the full amount out of the GPA in one transaction.
 
Any transfer is effective on the Valuation Date at the price next determined after we receive the request in good order at our Administrative Office. We do not charge for transfers.
 
Overall Limitation on Net Premium Allocations and Transfers. You may allocate net premiums and transfer amounts to up to 16 divisions over the life of the policy. We reserve the right to increase this limit.
 
In addition, we may need to further limit access to divisions of the Separate Account, so the policy will continue to qualify as life insurance. See Investor Control, under Federal Income Tax Considerations, in Section V. Other Information, for more information.
 
Policy Termination and
Reinstatement
 
The policy will not terminate simply because you do not make planned premium payments. Conversely, making planned premium payments does not guarantee that the policy will remain in force.
 
The policy may terminate if its account value cannot cover the monthly charges and the safety test is not met.
 
If the policy does terminate, you may be permitted to reinstate it.
 
Grace Period and Termination. The policy may terminate without value if:
 
Ÿ
its account value , less any outstanding policy debt, on a Monthly Charge Date cannot cover the monthly charges due; and
 
Ÿ
the safety test is not met on that Date.
Detailed Description of Policy Features
 
However, we allow a grace period for payment of the premium amount (not less than $20) needed to avoid termination. We will mail you a notice stating this amount.
 
The policy will terminate without value if we do not receive the required payment by the end of the grace period.
 
Grace Period. The grace period begins on the date the monthly charges are due. It ends 61 days after that date or, if later, 31 days after the date we mail the notice stating the amount needed.
 
During the grace period, the policy will stay in force. If the second death occurs during the grace period, the death benefit will be payable. In this case, any due but unpaid premium amount needed to avoid termination will be deducted from the death benefit.
 
Safety Test. The safety test allows you to keep the policy in force, regardless of the account value of the policy, by making minimum premium payments. But the safety test can be met only during the Guarantee Period(s) stated in the policy.
 
Each Guarantee Period has an associated monthly Guarantee Premium. The amount of each Guarantee Premium depends on the Issue Age, gender, and risk classification of each Insured, and on the Face Amount and Death Benefit Option.
 
For each Guarantee Period, the safety test is met if (A) equals or exceeds (B), defined as:
 
(A)
premiums paid less any amounts withdrawn, accumulated at an effective annual interest rate of 3%;
 
(B)
monthly Guarantee Premiums paid on each Monthly Charge Date beginning on the Policy Date, accumulated at an effective annual interest rate of 3%.
 
In (A) above, we exclude any premiums refunded (see Premium Limitations).
 
Example:
 
The policy is in the First Guarantee Period. The monthly First Guarantee Premium is $25. You have made premium payments of $35 on each Monthly Charge Date beginning on the Policy Date. In this case, the safety test is met. Even if the account value cannot cover the monthly charges, the policy will stay in force.
 
Generally, the policy has two Guarantee Periods. The First Guarantee Period is the first 20 Policy Years or, if less, to Attained Age 90 of the younger Insured. The Second Guarantee Period is to Attained Age 100 of the younger Insured. Both Guarantee Periods begin on the Policy Date.
 
The Guarantee Periods available may vary in some states. Consult your policy for the Guarantee Periods available to you.
 
Reinstating Your Policy. If your policy terminates, you may reinstate it—that is, put it back in force. But you may not reinstate your policy if:
 
Ÿ
you surrendered it; or
 
Ÿ
five years have passed since it terminated; or
 
Ÿ
the younger Insured’s Attained Age exceeds 99; or
 
Ÿ
an Insured has died since the policy terminated.
 
Requirements to Reinstate Your Policy. To reinstate your policy, we will need:
 
1.
a written application to reinstate;
 
2.
evidence, satisfactory to us, that each Insured living when the policy terminated still is insurable; and
 
3.
a premium payment sufficient to keep the policy in force for three months after reinstatement. The minimum amount of this premium payment will be quoted on request.
10
Detailed Description of Policy Features
 
Policy after You Reinstate. If you reinstate your policy, the Face Amount will be the same as it was when it terminated. Your account value at reinstatement will be the premium paid at that time, reduced by the premium expense charge and any monthly charges then due. (Monthly charges for the period before reinstatement are not recovered.) Surrender charges after reinstatement will apply as if the policy had not terminated. However, if the surrender charge was taken when the policy terminated, then the applicable surrender charges will not be reinstated.
 
If you reinstate your policy, it may become a “modified endowment contract” under current federal tax law. Consult your tax adviser.
 
Charges and Deductions
 
We will deduct charges from the policy to compensate us for:
 
(a)
providing the insurance benefits under the policy (including any riders);
 
(b)
administering the policy;
 
(c)
assuming certain risks in connection with the policy (including any riders); and
 
(d)
selling and distributing the policy.
 
In addition, the fund managers deduct expenses from the funds. For more information about these expenses, see the individual fund prospectuses.
 
Deductions from Premiums
 
We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment you make. The premium expense charge rate is higher for premium payments up to the Premium Expense Factor than for premium payments over the Premium Expense Factor. The Premium Expense Factor is based on the Issue Ages, genders, and risk classifications of the Insureds.
 
If you have increased the policy Face Amount, we allocate premium payments to the Initial Face Amount and to all increases based on the relative size of the Premium Expense Factor for each.
 
Monthly Charges Against the Account Value
 
We deduct charges from the account value on each Monthly Charge Date. The monthly charges are:
 
(a)
an administrative charge;
 
(b)
a face amount charge;
 
(c)
an insurance charge; and
 
(d)
a rider charge for any additional benefits provided by rider.
 
We deduct the monthly charges from the division(s) and the GPA in proportion to the non-loaned values of the policy in the division(s) and the GPA.
 
Monthly charges beyond Attained Age 99 of the younger Insured are zero.
 
Administrative Charge and Face Amount Charge. The monthly administrative charge and face amount charge reimburse us for issuing and administering the policy, and for such activities as processing claims, maintaining records, and communicating with you.
 
Insurance Charges. The monthly insurance charge for a policy is equal to the insurance risk under the policy, multiplied by the monthly insurance charge rate for that policy month. We determine the insurance risk on the first day of each policy month. It is the amount by which the death benefit (discounted at the monthly equivalent of 3% per year) exceeds the account value.
 
Insurance rates are based on the Issue Ages, genders, and risk classes of the Insureds, and the year of coverage. We currently place Insureds into the following five standard rate classes: Ultra Preferred Non-Tobacco, Select Preferred Non-Tobacco, Non-Tobacco, Select Preferred Tobacco, and Tobacco. We also have rate classes for less-favorable mortality risks. In otherwise identical policies, the monthly insurance rate is higher for tobacco users than for those who do not use tobacco and higher for Non-Tobacco Insureds than for Ultra Preferred Non-Tobacco Insureds.
 
Rider Charge. You can obtain additional benefits by requesting riders on your policy. The monthly rider charges include any charges for benefits you add by rider.
 
Daily Charges Against the Separate Account
 
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. Each day we deduct a charge from the Separate Account for mortality and expense risks. We do not deduct this charge from the assets in the GPA.
 
The mortality risk is a risk that the group of lives we insure may, on average, live for shorter periods of time than we estimated. The expense risk is a risk that our costs of issuing and administering policies may be more than we estimated.
 
If we do not need all the money we collect in mortality and risk charges to cover death benefits and expenses, the amount we do not need will be our gain. However, even if the money we collect is not enough to cover death benefits and expenses, we will pay all death benefits and expenses.
 
Investment Management Fee and Other Expenses. Each fund incurs investment management fees and other expenses. In addition, one or more funds may incur distribution and service fees called “12b-1” fees. (For details on these charges, see the fund prospectuses.) These are deducted from the fund.
 
Surrender Charges
 
If you fully surrender the policy or decrease the Face Amount during the first 14 Policy Years, we will take a surrender charge against the account value. This also applies during the first 14 years after an increase in Face Amount.
 
We calculate surrender charges separately for the Initial Face Amount and for each increase in the Face Amount. The surrender charge in the first five years of coverage is based on the Target Premium. Then, the surrender charge is decreased by 10% of the first-year surrender charge in each of the next nine years of coverage, and is zero in the fifteenth and later years.
 
Decrease in Face Amount. If you decrease your policy Face Amount, we cancel all or a part of your Face Amount segments. We may take a partial surrender charge from the account value. The partial surrender charge is equal to the surrender charge for each canceled Face Amount segment plus a pro rata surrender charge for any decreased segment. But if the partial surrender charge would be greater than the account value of the policy, we set the partial surrender charge equal to the account value on the date of the decrease.
 
Example:
 
This example assumes your policy was issued on a male and female, both age 45 and in the Non-Tobacco risk class.
 
Your policy currently has a Face Amount of $800,000—an Initial Face Amount of $500,000 and two increase segments, $200,000 and $100,000, purchased on the first and second Policy Anniversary Dates, respectively. The policy account value is $25,000. During the fourth Policy Year, you decide to decrease the Face Amount by $200,000. We will cancel the $100,000 segment and half of the $200,000 segment, dropping the current Face Amount to $600,000.
 
At the time of the decrease, the surrender charge for the policy is $5,567 ($3,370 for the Initial Face Amount, and $1,440 and $757 for the successive segments). The partial surrender charge at the time of the decrease will be $1,477 ($757 plus half of $1,440). This partial surrender charge is taken from your policy account value of $25,000, reducing the account value to $23,523.
 
After a Face Amount decrease, we reduce the remaining surrender charge for the policy by the amount of the partial surrender charge taken.
 
Other Charges
 
Withdrawal Fee. If you make a withdrawal from your policy, we deduct $25 from the amount you withdraw. This fee is guaranteed not to exceed $25.
 
The withdrawal fee reimburses us for processing withdrawals.
 
Loan Interest Rate Expense Charge. This charge reimburses us for administering policy loans.
 
Special Circumstances
 
We may vary the charges and other terms of policies where special circumstances result in sales or administrative expenses or insurance risks that are different from those normally associated with these policies. We will make these variations only in accordance with uniform rules we establish.
 
Account Value and Net Surrender Value
 
The account value of the policy has two components: the variable account value and the fixed account value.
 
Variable Account Value. The variable account value is the sum of your values in each of the divisions of the Separate Account. It reflects:
 
Ÿ
net premiums allocated to the Separate Account;
 
Ÿ
transfers to the Separate Account from the Guaranteed Principal Account;
 
Ÿ
transfers and withdrawals from the Separate Account;
 
Ÿ
monthly charges and surrender charges deducted from the Separate Account; and
 
Ÿ
the net investment experience of the Separate Account.
 
These transactions are all reflected in the variable account value through the purchase and sale of accumulation units.
 
Net Investment Experience and Accumulation Units. The net investment experience of the variable account value is reflected in the value of the accumulation units. The value of your accumulation units in a division is equal to:
 
Ÿ
the accumulation unit value in that division; multiplied by
 
Ÿ
the number of accumulation units in that division credited to your policy.
 
We purchase and sell accumulation units at the unit value as of the closing time of the New York Stock Exchange on the Valuation Date processed.
 
If we receive a premium or a transaction request in good order before the closing time on a Valuation Date, units will be purchased or sold as of that Valuation Date. If we receive it in good order after that time, units will be purchased or sold as of the next Valuation Date.
 
The variable account value of the policy is the total of the values of the accumulation units in each division credited to the policy.
 
Fixed Account Value. The fixed account value is the accumulation at interest of:
 
Ÿ
net premiums allocated to the Guaranteed Principal Account; plus
 
Ÿ
amounts transferred into the GPA from the Separate Account; less
 
Ÿ
amounts transferred or withdrawn from the GPA; and less
 
Ÿ
monthly charges and surrender charges deducted from the GPA.
Detailed Description of Policy Features
 
Interest on the Fixed Account Value. The fixed account value earns interest at an effective annual rate, credited daily.
 
For the part of the fixed account value equal to any policy loan, the daily rate we use is the daily equivalent of:
 
Ÿ
the annual loan interest rate minus the loan interest rate expense charge; or
 
Ÿ
3% if greater.
 
For the part of the fixed account in excess of any policy loan, the daily rate we use is the daily equivalent of:
 
Ÿ
the current interest rate we declare; or
 
Ÿ
the guaranteed interest rate of 3%.
 
Net Surrender Value. The net surrender value of the policy is equal to:
 
Ÿ
the account value; less
 
Ÿ
any surrender charges that apply; and less
 
Ÿ
any policy debt.
 
You may surrender your policy by sending a written request. We will determine the net surrender value at the end of the Valuation Date on which we receive the request in good order.
 
Withdrawals. After the first Policy Year, you may withdraw up to 75% of the net surrender value. We deduct a fee of $25 from the amount withdrawn. We do not charge a surrender charge for a withdrawal. The minimum amount you can withdraw is $100 (including the withdrawal fee). We may not allow a withdrawal if it would result in a reduction of the Face Amount to less than $100,000.
 
You must state in the withdrawal request from which divisions or the GPA you want the withdrawal made. You can state the amount as a dollar amount or a percentage. The withdrawal will be effective on the date we receive the request in good order. We will process it within seven days. The withdrawal amount you wish taken from each division of the Separate Account and from the GPA may not exceed the non-loaned account value in each of these. If you have chosen Death Benefit Option 1 or 3, we will reduce the Face Amount by the amount of the withdrawal unless you provide evidence satisfactory to us that the Insureds or Insured alive still is insurable.
 
Policy Loan Privilege
 
General. After the first Policy Year, you may take a loan from the policy as long as the account value exceeds the total of any surrender charges. We reserve the right to allow loans during the first Policy Year. You must assign the policy to us as collateral for the loan. The maximum amount you can borrow at any time is 90% of the policy’s account value less any surrender charge. If there is any outstanding policy debt (which includes accrued interest), it reduces the maximum amount available.
 
Source of Loan. We take the policy loan amount from the divisions and the GPA in proportion to the amount of account value in each division and the GPA (excluding any outstanding loans) on the date of the loan. We reduce the amount of units in the divisions of the Separate Account from which the loan is taken. We transfer the resulting dollar amounts to the loaned portion of the GPA.
 
We may delay granting any loan you want taken from the GPA for up to six months. We may delay granting any loan from the divisions during any period that:
 
(i)
the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);
 
(ii)
trading is restricted;
 
(iii)
the SEC determines a state of emergency exists; or
 
(iv)
the SEC permits us to delay payment for the protection of our Owners.
 
Whenever total policy debt equals or exceeds the account value less surrender charges, we will send a notice to you. This notice will state the amount needed to bring the policy debt back within the limit. If we do not receive this amount within 31 days after the date we mailed the notice, the policy terminates without value.
 
Loan Interest Charged. At the time of application for the policy, you may select a fixed loan interest rate of 4% or (in all jurisdictions except Arkansas) an adjustable loan rate.
 
Each year we will set the adjustable rate that will apply for the next Policy Year. The maximum loan rate is based on the Monthly Average Corporate yield on seasoned corporate bonds as published by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. If this Average is no longer published, we will use a similar average as approved by the insurance department of your “contract state.” The maximum rate is the greater of:
 
(i)
the published monthly average for the calendar month ending two months before the Policy Year begins; and
 
(ii)
4%.
 
If the maximum rate is less than  1 /2% higher than the rate in effect for the preceding year, we will not increase the rate. If the maximum rate is at least  1 /2% lower than the rate in effect for the preceding year, we will decrease the rate.
 
Interest on policy loans accrues daily and becomes part of the policy debt as it accrues. It is due on each Policy Anniversary Date. If you do not pay it when it is due, the interest is added to the loan. As part of the loan, it will bear interest at the loan rate. We will treat capitalized interest the same as a new loan. We will take an amount equal to the interest due from the divisions and the GPA in proportion to the non-loaned account value in each.
 
Repayment. You may repay all or part of any policy debt at any time while at least one of the Insureds is living and while the policy is in force. Any loan repayment you make within 30 days of a Policy Anniversary Date first pays policy loan interest due. We will allocate any other loan repayment to the GPA until you have repaid all loan amounts that were deducted from the GPA. We will allocate additional loan repayments based on the net premium allocation then in effect. You must clearly identify loan repayments as such, or we will consider the payments premium payments.
 
We will deduct any outstanding policy debt from the proceeds payable at the second death or upon the surrender of the policy.
 
Interest on Loaned Value. We deposit an amount equal to the loaned amount in the GPA. This amount earns interest at a rate equal to the greater of 3% and a rate equal to the policy loan rate less the loan interest rate expense charge rate. We guarantee this charge rate will not exceed 0.80%. Currently, the charge rate is 0.50% in Policy Years one through 10 and 0.25% in Policy Years 11 and later.
 
Effect of Loan. A policy loan affects the policy since we reduce the death benefit and net surrender value by the amount of the loan. If you repay the loan, we increase the death benefit and net surrender value under the policy by the amount of the repayment. Taking a policy loan could have adverse tax consequences if your policy is a “modified endowment contract” under current federal tax law. Consult your tax adviser.
 
As long as a loan is outstanding, a portion of the policy account value equal to the loan is invested in the GPA. This amount does not participate in the Separate Account investment performance.
Detailed Description of Policy Features
 
III. Investment Options
 
The Guaranteed Principal Account
 
You may allocate some or all of the net premiums to the Guaranteed Principal Account (“GPA”). You also may transfer some or all of the account value in the divisions of the Separate Account to the GPA. Neither our general investment account nor the GPA is registered under federal or state securities laws.
 
Amounts allocated to the GPA become part of our general investment account. Our general investment account consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Separate Account and in our other separate accounts. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of the assets of our general investment account.
 
We guarantee amounts allocated to the GPA in excess of any policy loan will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate at least equal to 3%. For amounts in the GPA equal to any policy loan, the guaranteed minimum interest rate is an effective annual rate of 3% or, if greater, the policy loan rate less the loan interest rate expense charge. This charge will not be greater than 0.80% per year. Interest will be credited at this rate regardless of the actual investment experience of the GPA. In addition to the guaranteed minimum interest rate, we will declare a guaranteed minimum calendar-year rate each December for the upcoming calendar year. Interest we credit during any calendar year will not be less than would be credited using this guaranteed minimum calendar-year rate. Although we are not obligated to credit interest at a rate higher than the guaranteed minimum, we may declare a higher rate.
 
The Separate Account
 
Our Board of Directors established the Separate Account on February 2, 1995, as a separate investment account of C.M. Life. The Board established the Separate Account based on the laws of the State of Connecticut. The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We have established a segment within the Separate Account to receive and invest premium payments for the policies. We have since divided this segment into 23 divisions. Each division invests in shares of a designated investment fund as follows:

We may establish additional divisions within the segment in the future.
 
We own the assets in the Separate Account. We are required to maintain sufficient assets in the Separate Account to meet anticipated obligations of the policies funded by the Separate Account. We credit or charge the income, gains, or losses, realized or unrealized, of the Separate Account against the assets held in the Separate Account. We do not take any regard of the other income, gains, or losses of C.M. Life. Assets in the Separate Account attributable to the reserves and other liabilities under the policies cannot be charged with liabilities from any other business conducted by C.M. Life. We may transfer to our general investment account any assets that exceed anticipated obligations of the Separate Account.
 
The Funds
 
The investment funds available through the policy are offered by nine investment companies and trusts. They each provide an investment vehicle for the separate investment accounts of variable life policies and variable annuity contracts offered by companies such as C.M. Life. Shares of these organizations are not offered to the general public.
 
The assets of certain variable annuity separate accounts offered by C.M. Life and by other affiliated and non-affiliated life insurers are invested in shares of these funds. Because these separate accounts are invested in the same underlying funds, it is possible that conflicts could arise between policy owners and owners of the variable annuity contracts.
 
The board of trustees or board of directors of each fund will follow procedures developed to determine whether conflicts have arisen. If a conflict exists, the board will notify the insurers and will take appropriate action to eliminate the conflict.
 
We purchase the shares of each fund for the division at net asset value. All dividends and capital gain distributions received from a fund are automatically reinvested in that fund at net asset value, unless C.M. Life, on behalf of the Separate Account, elects otherwise. We redeem shares of the funds at their net asset values as needed to make payments under the policies.
 
Some of the funds offered are similar to, or are “clones” of, mutual funds offered in the retail marketplace. These “clone” funds have the same investment objectives, policies, and portfolio managers as the retail funds and usually were formed after the retail funds. While the clone funds generally have identical investment objectives, policies and portfolio managers, they are separate and distinct from the retail funds. In fact, the performance of the clone funds may be dramatically different from the performance of the retail funds due to differences in the funds’ sizes, the dates shares of stock are purchased and sold, cash flows, and expenses. Thus, while the performance of the retail funds may be informative, you should remember that such performance is not the performance of the funds that support the policy. It is not an indication of future performance of the policy funds.
 
Fund Profiles
 
Following is a summary of the investment objectives of each fund. Please note there can be no assurance any fund will achieve its objectives. More detailed information concerning the funds and their investment objectives is contained in the accompanying prospectuses; they include information on the risks associated with the investments, the investment techniques, and the deduction of expenses for each of the funds.

IV. Other Policy Information
 
When We Pay Proceeds
 
If the policy has not terminated, we normally pay surrender, withdrawal, or loan proceeds or the death benefit within seven days after we receive all required documents in a form satisfactory to us at our Administrative Office.
 
We can delay payment of the death benefit, the net surrender value, or any withdrawal or loan from the Separate Account during any period when:
 
(i)
it is not reasonably practical to determine the amount because the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary week-end and holiday closings); or
 
(ii)
trading is restricted by the SEC; or
 
(iii)
the SEC declares an emergency exists; or
 
(iv)
the SEC, by order, permits us to delay payment in order to protect our Owners.
 
We may delay paying any net surrender value, any withdrawal, or any loan proceeds based on the GPA for up to six months from the date the request is received at our Administrative Office.
 
We can delay payment of the entire death benefit if we contest the payment. We investigate all death claims occurring within the two-year contestable period. We may investigate death claims occurring beyond the two-year contestable period. When we receive the information from a completed investigation, we generally determine within five days whether we will authorize payment of the claim. We make all payments promptly after authorization.
 
If we delay payment of a surrender or withdrawal for 30 days or more, we add interest to the date of payment at the same rate it is paid under the interest payment option. We pay interest on the death benefit from the date of death to the date of payment.
 
Payment Options
 
We will pay the policy proceeds (the death benefit or the net surrender value) in cash. Or if you wish, we will pay all or part of these under one or more of the following payment options. The minimum amount that can be applied under a payment option is $5,000. If the periodic payment under any option is less than $50, we reserve the right to make payments at less-frequent intervals. None of these benefits depends on the performance of the Separate Account or the GPA. For additional information concerning these options, see the policy. The following payment options are currently available.
Installments for a
Specified Period
     Equal monthly payments for any period selected, up to 30 years. The
amount of each payment depends on the total amount applied, the period
selected, and the monthly income rates we are using when the first payment
is due.

Life Income      Equal monthly payments based on the life of a named person. Payments
will continue for the lifetime of that person. You can elect income with or
without a minimum payment period.

Interest      We will hold any amount applied under this option. We will pay interest on
the amount at an effective annual rate determined by us. This rate will not
be less than 3%.
(Continued)
Other Policy Information
Installments of Specified
Amount
     Fixed amount payments. The total amount paid during the first year must
be at least 6% of the total amount applied. We will credit interest each
month on the unpaid balance and add this interest to the unpaid balance.
This interest will be an effective annual rate determined by us, but not less
than 3%. Payments continue until the balance we hold is reduced to less
than the agreed fixed amount. The last payment will be for the balance only.

Life Income with
Payments Guaranteed
for Amount Applied
     Equal monthly payments based on the life of a named person. We will make
payments until the total amount paid equals the amount applied, whether
the named person lives until all payments have been made or not. If the
named person lives beyond the payment of the total amount applied, we
will continue to make monthly payments as long as the named person lives.

Joint Lifetime Income
with Reduced Payments
to Survivor
     Monthly payments based on the lives of two named persons. We will make
payments at the initial level while both are living, or for 10 years if longer.
When one dies (but not before the 10 years has elapsed), we will reduce the
payments by one-third. Payments will continue at that level for the lifetime
of the other. After the 10 years has elapsed, payments stop when both
named persons have died.
Withdrawal Rights Under Payment Options. If provided in the payment option election, you may withdraw or apply under any other option all or part of the unpaid balance under the Fixed Amount or Interest Payment Option. You may not withdraw any part of the payments under the Specified Period Payment Option or payments that are based on a named person’s life.
 
Beneficiary
 
A Beneficiary is any person named on our records to receive insurance proceeds at the second death. The Applicant names the Beneficiary in the application for the policy. You may name different classes of beneficiaries, such as primary and secondary. These classes set the order of payment. There may be more than one Beneficiary in a class.
 
You may change the Beneficiary during either Insured’s lifetime by writing to our Administrative Office. Generally, the change will take effect as of the date of the request. If no Beneficiary is living at the second death, unless provided otherwise, the death benefit is paid to you or, if deceased, to your estate.
 
Assignment
 
You may assign the policy as collateral for a loan or other obligation. For any assignment to be binding on C.M. Life, however, we must receive a signed copy of it at our Administrative Office. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment.
 
Limits on Our Right to Challenge the Policy
 
Except for any policy change or reinstatement requiring evidence of insurability, we cannot contest the validity of the policy with respect to any material misrepresentation in the application:
 
Ÿ
regarding the insurability of Insured No. 1, once the policy has been in force during the lifetime of Insured No. 1 for two years after the Issue Date; or
 
Ÿ
regarding the insurability of Insured No. 2, once the policy has been in force during the lifetime of Insured No. 2 for two years after the Issue Date.
 
For any policy change or reinstatement requiring evidence the Insured(s) are insurable, we cannot contest the validity of the change or reinstatement with respect to each Insured after the change has been in effect for two years during the lifetime of that Insured.
 
Error of Age or Gender
 
If either Insured’s age or gender is misstated in the policy application, we will adjust the death benefit we pay under the policy based on what the policy would provide based on the most recent monthly charge for the correct date of birth and correct gender.
 
Suicide
 
Suicide within two years of the Policy Date is not covered by the policy. If either Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the Issue Date or reinstatement date, the policy will terminate. We will refund the amount of all premiums paid, less any withdrawals and policy debt. If either Insured, while sane or insane, dies by suicide within two years after the effective date of any increase in the Face Amount, the increase will terminate and we will refund the monthly charges for that increase. However, if a refund was payable as the result of suicide during the first two years following the Issue Date or the reinstatement date of the policy, there is no additional refund for any Face Amount increase.
 
Additional Benefits You Can Get by Rider
 
You can obtain additional benefits if you request them and qualify for them. We provide additional benefits by riders. Additional benefits are subject to the terms of both the rider and the policy. The cost of any rider is deducted as part of the monthly charges. Subject to state availability, the following riders are available.
 
Survivorship Term Rider. This rider provides level survivorship insurance on the lives of the policy Insureds. The insurance is convertible for a limited period of time. The Rider Face Amount must be at least $100,000 and must not exceed two times the Face Amount under the base policy.
 
The Rider Face Amount may be increased or decreased. An increase requires evidence of insurability and the increase must not raise the Rider Face Amount to more than two times the policy Face Amount. The minimum increase amount is $50,000. A decrease may not bring the Rider Face Amount below $100,000. If the policy Face Amount decreases to an amount below one-half the Rider Face Amount, the Rider Face Amount will be decreased to an amount equal to two times the reduced policy Face Amount.
 
While both Insureds are living, coverage under the rider can be fully or partially converted until the earlier of Attained Age 70 of the younger Insured or Attained Age 80 of the older Insured. Conversion can be either to an increase in Face Amount under the policy, or to a new survivorship life policy we are offering for conversion at that time. Evidence of insurability will not be required.
 
The rider terminates when the policy terminates or when the policy is changed to another policy under which this rider is not available.
 
The monthly charge for this rider is the sum of the risk charge for the Rider Face Amount and the rider face amount charge.
 
This rider may be cancelled at any time. Cancellation is effective on the Monthly Charge Date on, or next following, the date we receive the written request.
 
Policy Split Option Rider. This rider allows you to exchange the policy for two new policies, one on the life of each Insured. Both Insureds must be living when the exchange is made. We do not require evidence that the Insureds are insurable.
Other Policy Information
 
Each new policy may be a fixed premium permanent life policy or a flexible premium adjustable life policy. Any schedule of surrender charges normally applicable to the new policy will apply here as well.
 
This right to exchange will be available for the six-month period beginning on:
 
Ÿ
The date six months after the effective date of a final court decree of divorce. The decree must first become effective at least one year after the policy Issue Date, and it must remain in effect during the entire six-month period after it first becomes effective.
 
Ÿ
The date IRC Section 2056:
 
is nullified;
 
is amended to eliminate or reduce by at least 50% the Insureds’ federal estate tax marital deduction;
 
Ÿ
The date the maximum federal estate tax rate given in IRC Section 2001 is reduced to half the rate in effect on the policy Issue Date of this policy.
 
Ÿ
The effective date of the dissolution of the corporation or partnership that owns the policy.
 
The new policies must meet the policy requirements in effect at the time of the exchange.
 
Ÿ
The face amount of each new policy will be one-half the Face Amount of this policy at the time of the split. (If the policy also has the Survivorship Term Rider, the amount of that rider is added to the policy Face Amount for the split.)
 
Ÿ
The policy date of each new policy will be the date of exchange.
 
Ÿ
The issue age of each Insured will be the age of each Insured on the birthday nearest the policy date of the new policies.
 
We attach this rider to the policy only at the time of policy issue, and only if the younger Insured is younger than age 80 and the insurance risk class of neither Insured is uninsurable.
 
There is no charge for this rider.
 
Estate Protection Rider. You may attach this rider to the policy only at the time the policy is issued. It provides an additional death benefit during the first four Policy Years if both Insureds die during this period. You select the Face Amount of the rider. The minimum amount is $25,000 and the maximum amount is 125% of the Initial Face Amount.
 
We will deduct a monthly charge from the account value for this rider. It will equal the rider charge rate multiplied by the Face Amount of the rider, divided by $1,000.
 
Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. This rider advances to the Owner a portion of the policy death benefit, after the death of the first Insured to die, when we receive proof, satisfactory to us, that the surviving Insured is terminally ill and is not expected to live more than 12 months. In return for the advance payment, a lien is placed on the policy, equal to the amount of benefit accelerated. Interest is not charged on the lien.
 
Where this rider is available, we will include it with all policies. There is no charge for this rider.
 
Sales and Other Agreements
 
MML Distributors, LLC (“MML Distributors”), 1414 Main Street, Springfield, Massachusetts 01144-1013, is the principal underwriter of the policy. MML Investors Services, Inc. (“MMLISI”), at the same address serves as the co-underwriter of the policy.

We sell the policy through agents who are licensed by state insurance officials to sell the policy. These agents also are registered representatives of selling brokers or of MMLISI. We intend to offer the policy in all states except California and New York.
 
We also may contract with independent third party broker-dealers who may assist us in finding broker-dealers to offer and sell the policies. These third parties also may provide training, marketing and other sales related functions for us and other broker-dealers. And they may provide certain administrative services to us in connection with the policies.
 
MML Distributors does business under different variations of its name; including the name MML Distributors, L.L.C., in the states of Illinois, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Washington; and the name MML Distributors, Limited Liability Company, in the states of Maine, Ohio, and West Virginia.
 
Both MML Distributors and MMLISI receive compensation for their activities as underwriters of the policy.
 
Agents who sell these policies will receive commissions based on certain commission schedules and rules. We pay some commissions as a percentage of the premium paid in each year of coverage. These commissions distinguish between premiums up to the Premium Expense Factor and premiums paid in excess of the Premium Expense Factor. The Premium Expense Factor is based on the Issue Ages, genders, and risk classifications of the Insureds. We also pay commissions as a percentage of the average monthly account value in each Policy Year. The maximum commission percentages are as follows.
 
For coverage year 1, 50% of premium paid up to the Premium Expense Factor and 3% of premium paid in excess of the Factor; for coverage years 2 through 5, 5% of premium paid up to the Premium Expense Factor and 3% of premium paid in excess of the Factor; for coverage years 6 through 10, 3% of all premium paid; and for coverage years 11 and beyond, 1% of all premium paid. Also, for Policy Years 2 and beyond, 0.15% of the average monthly account value during the Year.
 
We may compensate agents who have financing agreements with general agents of MassMutual differently. Agents who meet certain productivity and persistency standards in selling C.M. Life and MassMutual policies are eligible for additional compensation. General agents and district managers who are registered representatives of MMLISI also may receive commission overrides, allowances and other compensation.
 
We may pay independent, third-party broker-dealers who assist us in finding broker-dealers to offer and sell the policies compensation based on premium payments for the policies. In addition, some sales personnel may receive various types of non-cash compensation as special sales incentives, including trips and educational and/or business seminars.
 
While the compensation we pay to broker-dealers for sales of policies may vary with the sales agreement and level of production, the compensation generally is expected to be comparable to the aggregate compensation we pay to agents and general agents.
Other Policy Information
 
V. Other Information
 
C.M. Life and MassMutual
 
C.M. Life is a stock life insurance company located at 140 Garden Street, Hartford, CT 06154. A Special Act of the Connecticut General Assembly chartered the company on April 25, 1980. C.M. Life is engaged principally in the sale of life insurance policies and annuity contracts, and is licensed to sell such products in all states except New York. C.M. Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of MassMutual. C.M. Life is licensed to transact variable life insurance business in all states in the United States other than New York and California, and in Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.
 
MassMutual is a mutual life insurance company chartered in 1851 under the laws of Massachusetts. Its Home Office is located in Springfield, Massachusetts. MassMutual is licensed to transact life, accident, and health business in all fifty states of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and certain provinces of Canada. As of December 31, 1999, MassMutual had consolidated statutory assets in excess of $70 billion and estimated total assets under management of $206.6 billion.
 
C.M. Life’s Tax Status. C.M. Life is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). The segment and the Separate Account are part of C.M. Life.
 
Due to C.M. Life’s current tax status, we do not charge the segment for C.M. Life’s federal income taxes that may be a result of activity of the segment. Periodically, C.M. Life reviews the question of a charge to the segment for C.M. Life’s federal income taxes. In the future, we may impose a charge for any federal income taxes paid by C.M. Life resulting from activity of the segment. Depending on the method of calculating interest on policy values allocated to the Guaranteed Principal Account, we may charge for the policy’s share of C.M. Life’s federal income taxes that are a result of activity of the GPA.
 
Under current laws, C.M. Life may have to pay state or local taxes (in addition to premium taxes). At present, these taxes are not significant. C.M. Life reserves the right to charge the Separate Account for such taxes, if any, resulting from activity of the Separate Account.
 
Annual Reports
 
MassMutual or C.M. Life maintains the records and accounts relating to the Separate Account, the Segment and the divisions. Each year within the 30 days following the Policy Anniversary Date, we will mail you a report showing:
 
(i)
the account value at the beginning of the previous Policy Year,
 
(ii)
all premiums paid during that Year,
 
(iii)
all additions to and deductions from the account value during the Year, and
 
(iv)
the account value, death benefit, net surrender value and policy debt as of the last Policy Anniversary Date.
 
This report may contain additional information if required by any applicable law or regulation.
 
Federal Income Tax Considerations
 
The information in this prospectus is general. It is not an exhaustive discussion of all tax questions that might arise under the policy. It also is not intended as tax advice. In addition, we do not know the likelihood that the current federal income tax laws and Treasury Regulations or the current interpretations of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will continue. We cannot make any guarantee regarding the future tax treatment of any policy. But we reserve the right to make changes to the policy that we determine are needed for it to continue to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes.
 
For complete information on any tax issue, we urge you to consult a qualified tax adviser. No attempt is made in this prospectus to consider any applicable state or other tax laws.
 
Policy Proceeds and Loans. We believe the policy meets the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) definition of life insurance. Therefore, the death benefit under the policy generally is excludible from the Beneficiary’s gross income under federal tax law, and the gain accumulated in the contract is not taxed until withdrawn or otherwise accessed. Gain withdrawn from a policy is taxed as ordinary income.
 
The following information applies only to a policy that is not a modified endowment contract (“MEC”) under federal tax law. See Modified Endowment Contracts below for information about MECs.
 
As a general rule, withdrawals are taxable only to the extent that the amounts received exceed your cost basis in the policy. Cost basis equals the sum of the premiums and other consideration paid for the policy less any prior withdrawals under the policy that were not subject to income taxation. For example, if your cost basis in the policy is $10,000, amounts received under the policy will not be taxable as income until they exceed $10,000; then, only the excess over $10,000 is taxable.
 
However, special rules apply to certain withdrawals associated with a decrease in the policy Face Amount. The IRC provides that if:
 
Ÿ
there is a reduction of benefits during the first 15 years after a policy is issued, and
 
Ÿ
there is a cash distribution associated with the reduction,
 
you may be taxed on all or a part of the amount distributed. After 15 years, cash distributions are not subject to federal income tax, except to the extent they exceed your cost basis.
 
If you surrender the policy for its net surrender value, all or a portion of the distribution may be taxable as income. The distribution represents income to the extent the value received exceeds your cost basis in the policy. For this calculation, the value received is equal to the account value, reduced by any surrender charges, but not reduced by any outstanding policy debt. Therefore, if there is a loan on the policy when it is surrendered, the loan will reduce the cash actually paid to you but will not reduce the amount you must include in your income as a result of the surrender.
 
A change of the Owner or the Insured(s), or an exchange or assignment of the policy, may cause the Owner to recognize taxable income.
 
We believe that, under current tax law, any loan taken under the policy will be treated as policy debt of the Owner. If your policy is not a MEC, the loan will not be considered income to you when received.
 
Interest on policy loans used for personal purposes generally is not tax-deductible. However, you may be able to deduct this interest if the loan proceeds are used for “trade for business” or “investment” purposes, provided that you meet certain narrow criteria.
 
If the Owner is a corporation or other business, additional restrictions may apply. For example, there are limits on interest deductions available for loans against a business-owned policy. In addition, the IRC restricts the ability of a business to deduct interest on debt totally unrelated to any life insurance, if the business holds a cash value policy on the life of certain insureds. The alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) may apply to the gain accumulated in a policy held by a corporation. The corporate AMT may apply to a portion of the amount by which death benefits received exceed the policy’s net surrender value on the date of the second death.
 
The impact of federal income taxes on values under the policy and on the benefit to you or your Beneficiary depends on C.M. Life’s tax status and on the tax status of the individual concerned. We currently do not make any charge against the Separate Account for federal income taxes. We may make such a charge eventually in order to recover the future federal income tax liability to the Separate Account.
 
Federal estate and gift taxes, state and local estate taxes, and other taxes depend on the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.
 
Investor Control. There are a number of tax benefits associated with variable life insurance policies. Gains on the net investment experience of the Separate Account are deferred until withdrawn or otherwise accessed, and gains on transfers also are deferred. For these benefits to continue, the policy must continue to qualify as life insurance. In addition to other requirements, federal tax law dictates that the insurer, and not the policy Owner, have control of the investments underlying the various divisions for the policy to qualify as life insurance.
 
You may make transfers among divisions of the Separate Account, but you may not direct the investments each division makes. If the IRS were to conclude that you, as the investor, have control over these investments, then the policy would no longer qualify as life insurance and you would be taxed on the gain in the policy as it is earned rather than when it is withdrawn or otherwise accessed.
 
The IRS has provided some guidance on investor control, but many issues remain unclear. One such issue is whether a policy Owner can have too much investor control if the variable life policy offers a large number of investment divisions in which to invest account values. We do not know if the IRS will provide any further guidance on the issue. We do not know if any such guidance would apply retroactively to policies already in force.
 
Consequently, we reserve the right to further limit net premium allocations and transfers under the policy, so that it will not lose its qualification as life insurance due to investor control.
 
Modified Endowment Contracts. If a policy is a modified endowment contract (“MEC”) under federal tax law, loans, withdrawals, and other amounts distributed under the policy are taxable to the extent of any income accumulated in the policy. The policy income is the excess of the account value (both loaned and unloaned) over your cost basis. For example, if your cost basis in the policy is $10,000 and the account value is $15,000, then all distributions up to $5,000 (the accumulated policy income) are immediately taxable as income when withdrawn or otherwise accessed. The collateral assignment of a MEC is also treated as a taxable distribution. Death benefits paid under a MEC, however, are not taxed any differently than death benefits payable under other life insurance contracts.
 
A policy is a MEC if it satisfies the IRC definition of life insurance but fails the “7-pay test.” A policy fails this test if:
 
Ÿ
the accumulated amount paid under the contract at any time during the first seven contract years
 
exceeds
 
Ÿ
the total premiums that would have been payable for a policy providing the same benefits guaranteed after the payment of seven level annual premiums.
 
A life insurance policy may pass the 7-pay test and still be taxed as a MEC if it is received in a tax-deferred exchange for a MEC.
30
Other Information
 
If certain changes are made to a policy, we will retest it to determine if it has become a MEC. For example, if you reduce the death benefit, we will retest the policy using the lower benefit amount. If the reduction in death benefit causes the policy to become a MEC, this change is effective retroactively to the Policy Year in which the actual premiums paid exceed the new, lower 7-pay limit.
 
We will retest whenever there is a “material change” to the policy while it is in force. If there is a material change, a new 7-pay test period begins at that time. The term “material change” includes certain increases in death benefits.
 
Since the policy provides for flexible premium payments, we have procedures for determining whether increases in death benefits or additional premium payments cause the start of a new seven-year test period or the taxation of distribution and loans.
 
If any amount is taxable as a distribution of income under a MEC, it will also be subject to a 10% penalty tax. There are a few exceptions to the additional penalty tax for distributions to individual Owners. The penalty tax will not apply to distributions:
 
(i)
made on or after the date the taxpayer attains age 59 1 /2; or
 
(ii)
made because the taxpayer became disabled; or
 
(iii)
made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments paid for the life or life expectancy of the taxpayer, or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the taxpayer and the taxpayer’s beneficiary. These payments must be made at least annually.
 
Once a policy fails the 7-pay test, loans and distributions taken in the year of failure and in future years are taxable as distributions from a MEC. In addition, the IRS has authority to apply the MEC taxation rules to loans and other distributions received in anticipation of the policy’s failing the 7-pay test. The IRC provides that a loan or distribution, if taken within two years prior to the policy’s becoming a MEC, shall be treated as received in anticipation of failing the 7-pay test. However, the IRS has not exercised its authority to extend the MEC tax rules to any distributions received in a year prior to the one in which the policy became a MEC.
 
Under current circumstances, a loan, collateral assignment, or other distribution under a MEC may be taxable even though it exceeds the amount of income accumulated in that particular policy. For purposes of determining the amount of income received from a MEC, the law considers the total of all income in all the MECs issued within the same calendar year to the same Owner by an insurer and its affiliates. Loans, collateral assignments, and distributions from any one MEC are taxable to the extent of this total income.
 
Qualified Plans. The policy may be used as part of certain tax-qualified and/or ERISA employee benefit plans. Since the rules concerning the use of a policy with such plans are complex, you should not use the policy in this way until you have consulted a competent tax adviser. You may not use the policy as part of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or as part of a Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA) or Section 403(b) custodial account.
 
Your Voting Rights
 
You have the right to instruct us how to vote on questions submitted to the shareholders of the funds supporting the policy to the extent you have invested in these divisions.
 
Your right to instruct us is based on the number of shares of the funds attributable to your policy. The policy’s number of shares of the funds is determined by dividing the policy’s account value held in each division of the Separate Account by $100. Fractional votes are counted.
 
You receive proxy material and a form to complete giving us voting instructions. Shares of the funds held by the Separate Account for which we do not receive instructions are voted for or against any proposition in the same proportion as the shares for which we do receive instructions.
 
Reservation of Rights
 
We reserve the right to take certain actions. Specifically, we reserve the right to:
 
Ÿ
Create new divisions of the Separate Account;
 
Ÿ
Rename divisions;
 
Ÿ
Combine any two or more Separate Accounts, Segments or divisions;
 
Ÿ
Close divisions to future investments;
 
Ÿ
Operate the Separate Account as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act or in any other form permitted by law;
 
Ÿ
De-register the Separate Account under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required; and
 
Ÿ
Substitute one or more funds for other funds with similar investment objectives.
 
We have reserved all rights to the name C.M. Life Insurance Company or any part of it. We may allow the Separate Account and other entities to use our name or part of it, but we also may withdraw this right.
 
Service Agreement
 
In addition to acting as an investment manager for the funds underlying the divisions of the Separate Account, MassMutual performs certain investment and administrative duties for C.M. Life. MassMutual does this according to a written agreement. The agreement is renewed automatically each year, unless either party terminates it. Under this agreement, we pay MassMutual for salary costs and other services and an amount for indirect costs incurred through C.M. Life’s use of MassMutual’s personnel and facilities.
 
Bonding Arrangement
 
An insurance company blanket bond is maintained providing $100 million coverage for directors, officers, employees, general agents, and agents of MassMutual and C.M. Life (subject to a $350,000 deductible).
 
Legal Proceedings
 
We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings that would have a material impact on the policy.
 
We are involved in litigation arising in and out of the normal course of business, including suits which seek both compensatory and punitive damages. While we are not aware of any actions or allegations which should reasonably give rise to any material adverse effect, the outcome of litigation cannot be foreseen with certainty. It is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
Experts

Examples of the Impact of the Account Value and Premiums on the Policy Death Benefit
 
Example I ~ Death Benefit Option 1

 
Assume the following:

Ÿ
Face Amount is $1,000,000
 
Ÿ
Account value is $50,000
 
Ÿ
Minimum death benefit is $219,000
 
Ÿ
No policy debt
 

 
Based on these assumptions,
 
Ÿ
the death benefit is $1,000,000.
 
If the account value increases to $80,000 and the minimum death benefit increases to $350,400,
 
Ÿ
the death benefit remains at $1,000,000.
 
If the account value decreases to $30,000 and the minimum death benefit decreases to $131,400,
 
Ÿ
the death benefit still remains at $1,000,000.
 
Example II ~ Death Benefit Option 2

 
Assume the following:

 
Ÿ
Face Amount is $1,000,000
Ÿ
Account value is $50,000
Ÿ
Minimum death benefit is $219,000
Ÿ
No policy debt
 

 
Based on these assumptions,
 
Ÿ
the death benefit is $1,050,000 (Face Amount plus account value).
 
If the account value increases to $80,000 and the minimum death benefit increases to $350,400,
 
Ÿ
the death benefit will increase to $1,080,000.
 
If the account value decreases to $30,000 and the minimum death benefit decreases to $131,400,
 
Ÿ
the death benefit will decrease to $1,030,000.
 
Example III ~ Death Benefit Option 3

 
Assume the following:

 
Ÿ
Face Amount is $1,000,000
Ÿ
Account value is $50,000
Ÿ
Minimum death benefit is $219,000
Ÿ
No policy debt
Ÿ
Premiums paid under the policy to-date total $40,000
 

 
Based on these assumptions,
 
Ÿ
the death benefit is $1,040,000 (Face Amount plus Premiums paid).
 
If you pay an additional $30,000 of premium and the account value increases to $80,000 and the minimum death benefit increases to $350,400,
 
Ÿ
the death benefit will increase to $1,070,000.
 
Examples of Death Benefit Option Changes
 
Example I ~ Change from Option 2 to Option 1

 
For a change from Option 2 to Option 1, the Face Amount is increased by the amount of the account value on the effective date of the change.
 
For example, if the policy has a Face Amount of $500,000 and an account value of $25,000, the death benefit under Option 2 is equal to the Face Amount plus the account value, or $525,000. If you change from Option 2 to Option 1, the death benefit under Option 1 is equal to the Policy Face Amount. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a Death Benefit Option change, the Face Amount will be increased from $500,000 under Option 2 to $525,000 under Option 1 and the death benefit after the change will remain at $525,000.
 
Example II ~ Change from Option 3 to Option 1

 
For a change from Option 3 to Option 1, the Face Amount is increased by the amount of the premiums paid to the effective date of the change.
 
For example, if a policy has a Face Amount of $500,000, and premium payments of $12,000 have been made to-date, the death benefit under Option 3 is equal to the Face Amount plus the premiums paid, or $512,000. If you change from Option 3 to Option 1, the death benefit under Option 1 is equal to the Face Amount. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a Death Benefit Option change, the Face Amount will be increased from $500,000 under Option 3 to $512,000 under Option 1 and the death benefit after the change will remain at $512,000.
 
Example III ~ Change from Option 1 to Option 2

 
For a change from Option 1 to Option 2, the Face Amount will be decreased by the amount of the account value on the effective date of the change.
 
For example, if the policy has a Face Amount of $700,000 and an account value of $25,000, under Option 1 the death benefit is equal to the Face Amount, or $700,000. If you change from Option 1 to Option 2, the death benefit under Option 2 is equal to the Face Amount plus the account value. Since the death benefit does not change as the result of a Death Benefit Option change, the Face Amount will be decreased by $25,000 to $675,000, and the death benefit under Option 2 after the change will remain $700,000.
 
Example IV ~ Change from Option 1 to Option 3

 
For a change from Option 1 to Option 3, the Face Amount will be decreased by the amount of the premiums paid to the effective date of the change.
 
For example, if the policy has a Face Amount of $700,000 and premiums paid to-date are $30,000, the death benefit under Option 1 is equal to the Face Amount, or $700,000. If you change from Option 1 to Option 3, the death benefit under Option 3 is equal to the Face Amount plus the premiums paid to-date. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a Death Benefit Option change, the Face Amount will be decreased from $700,000 under Option 1 to $670,000 under Option 3 and the death benefit after the change will remain at $700,000.
 
Example V ~ Change from Option 2 to Option 3, or from Option 3 to Option 2

 
For a change from Option 2 to Option 3 or from Option 3 to Option 2, the Face Amount is changed (increased or decreased) by the difference between the account value and the premiums paid to-date.
 
For example, if the policy has a Face Amount of $1,000,000 and an account value of $70,000 and premiums paid of $25,000, the death benefit under Option 2 is equal to the Face Amount plus the account value, or $1,070,000. If you change from Option 2 to Option 3, the death benefit under Option 3 is equal to the Face Amount plus the premiums paid to-date. Since the death benefit under the policy does not change as the result of a Death Benefit Option change, the Face Amount will be increased by the difference between the account value and the premiums paid, or $45,000, to $1,045,000 under Option 3, maintaining a death benefit of $1,070,000.
 
A similar type of change would be made for a change from Option 3 to Option 2.

Rates of Return
 
From time to time, we may report different types of historical performance for the divisions of the Separate Account available under the policy. We may report the average annual total returns of the funds over various time periods. These returns will reflect deductions for investment management fees and fund expenses and an annual deduction for the mortality and expense risk charge. The returns do not reflect any deductions from premiums, monthly charges assessed against the account value of the policies, policy surrender charges, or other charges; these expenses, if included, would reduce performance.
 
On request, we will provide an illustration of account values and net surrender values for hypothetical Insureds of given ages, genders, risk classifications, premium levels and Initial Face Amounts. We will base the illustration either on actual historic fund performance or on a hypothetical investment return. The hypothetical return will be between 0% and 12%. The net surrender value figures will assume all fund charges, the mortality and expense risk charge, and all other policy charges are deducted. The account value figures will assume all charges except the surrender charge are deducted.
 
We also may distribute sales literature comparing the divisions of the Separate Account to established market indices, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. These comparisons may show the percentage change in the net asset values of the funds or in the accumulation unit values. We also may make comparisons to the percentage change in values of other mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the divisions of the Separate Account being compared.
 
Tables 1 and 2 show the effective annual rates of return and one-year total returns, respectively, of the funds based on the actual investment performance (after deduction of investment management fees and direct operating expenses) underlying each division of the Separate Account. Table 1 shows figures for periods ended December 31, 1999, while Table 2 shows December 31 one-year total returns for each year shown. These rates reflect the fund operating expenses but no other expenses. Therefore, these rates are not illustrative of how actual investment performance will affect the benefits under the policy (see, however, Illustration of Death Benefits, Net Surrender Values, and Accumulated Premiums, Appendix D). The rates of return shown are not necessarily indicative of future performance. You may consider these rates of return, however, in assessing the competence and performance of the investment advisers.

Illustration of Death Benefits, Net Surrender Values, and Accumulated Premiums
 
The following tables illustrate the way in which a policy operates. They show how the death benefit and net surrender value could vary over an extended period of time assuming the funds experience hypothetical gross rates of investment return (i.e., investment income and capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized), equal to constant gross annual rates of 0%, 6%, and 12%. The tables are based on annual premium payments of $7,500 for a combination of an Ultra Preferred Non-Tobacco Male age 35 and an Ultra Preferred Non-Tobacco Female age 35. Ultra Preferred Non-Tobacco is currently our best risk classification. Separate tables are shown for the current and guaranteed schedules of charges. These tables will assist in the comparison of death benefits and net surrender values for the policy with those of other variable life policies.
 
The death benefits and net surrender values for a policy would be different from the amounts shown if:
 
Ÿ
the rates of return averaged 0%, 6%, and 12% over a period of years, but varied above and below that average in individual Policy Years
 
Ÿ
any policy loan were made during the period of time illustrated
 
Ÿ
the rates of return for all funds averaged 0%, 6%, and 12% but varied above or below that average for particular funds.
 
The death benefits and net surrender values shown in Tables 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9 reflect the following current charges:
 
Ÿ
administrative charges of $12 per month per policy in Policy Years 1-10, and $8 per month in Policy Years 11 and beyond.
Ÿ
face amount charges of $0.05 per month per $1,000 of Face Amount in coverage years 1-10.
 
Ÿ
insurance charges based on the current rates we are charging for Ultra Preferred Non-Tobacco, fully underwritten risks.
 
Ÿ
mortality and expense risk charges of 0.25% on an annual basis of the daily net asset value of the Separate Account in all Policy Years.
 
Ÿ
fund level expenses of 0.70% on an annual basis of the net asset value of the Separate Account. These expenses represent the unweighted average of all fund expenses.
 
The death benefits and net surrender values shown in Tables 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12 reflect the following guaranteed maximum charges as well as the current fund level expenses.
 
Ÿ
administrative charges equal to $12 per month per policy in all years.
 
Ÿ
face amount charge of $0.08 per month per $1,000 of Face Amount in coverage years 1-10.
 
Ÿ
insurance charges based on the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Nonsmoker Mortality Table.
 
Ÿ
mortality and expense risk charges equal to 0.60% on an annual basis of the daily net asset value of the Separate Account in all years.
 
Net surrender values shown in the tables reflect the deduction of surrender charges in the first 14 Policy Years. The surrender charge in the first five Years is the Target Premium or $45 per $1,000 of Face Amount if less. In each of Years six through 14, the surrender charge is equal to the surrender charge in the preceding year reduced by 10% of the surrender charge in the first year.
 
Taking the current mortality and expense risk charge and the average fund level expenses into account, the gross rates of 0%, 6%, and 12% are (1.24%), 4.69%, and 10.61%, respectively, on a net basis.

Report of Independent Auditors’
 
To the Board of Directors and Policyholders of
C.M. Life Insurance Company
 
We have audited the accompanying statutory statement of financial position of C.M. Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1999, and the related statutory statements of income, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit. The statutory financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, were audited by other auditors. Their report, dated February 25, 1999, expressed an opinion that these statements were not fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles; however, such report also expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements’ conformity with the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
 
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
As described more fully in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has prepared these financial statements using statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Connecticut Insurance Department, which practices differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting and generally accepted accounting principles, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.
 
In our opinion, because of the effects of the matters discussed in the preceding paragraph, the 1999 financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of C.M. Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1999, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the year then ended.
 
In our opinion, the 1999 statutory financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of C.M. Life Insurance Company at December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, on the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 1.

Notes To Statutory Financial Statements
 
C.M. Life Insurance Company (“the Company”) is a wholly-owned stock life insurance subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”). The Company is primarily engaged in the sale of flexible premium universal and variable life insurance and variable annuity products distributed through career agents. The Company is licensed to sell life insurance and annuities in Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and 49 states (excluding New York).
 
 
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
 
The accompanying statutory financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the statutory accounting practices, except as to form, of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) and the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Connecticut Insurance Department and are different in some respects from financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The more significant differences are as follows: (a) acquisition costs, such as commissions and other costs directly related to acquiring new business, are charged to current operations as incurred, whereas GAAP would require these expenses to be capitalized and recognized over the life of the policies; (b) statutory policy reserves are based upon the commissioners reserve valuation methods and statutory mortality, morbidity and interest assumptions, whereas GAAP reserves would generally be based upon net level premium and estimated gross margin methods and appropriately conservative estimates of future mortality, morbidity and interest assumptions; (c) bonds are generally carried at amortized cost whereas GAAP generally requires they be reported at fair value; (d) deferred income taxes are not provided for book-tax timing differences as would be required by GAAP; and (e) payments received for universal and variable life products and variable annuities are reported as premium income and changes in reserves, whereas under GAAP, these payments would be recorded as deposits to policyholders’ account balances.
 
In March 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (“Codification”). Codification provides a comprehensive guide of statutory accounting principles for use by insurers in all states and is expected to become effective January 1, 2001. The effect of adopting Codification shall be reported as an adjustment to surplus on the effective date. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of Codification; however, due to the nature of certain required accounting changes and their sensitivity to factors such as interest rates, the actual impact upon adoption cannot be determined at this time.
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements. Management must also make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events, including changes in the levels of mortality, morbidity, interest rates, persistency and asset valuations, could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used in the financial statements.
 
The following is a description of the Company’s principal accounting policies and practices.
 
 
a. Investments
 
Bonds are valued in accordance with rules established by the NAIC. Generally, bonds are valued at amortized cost, using the interest method.
 
Mortgage loans are valued at unpaid principal net of unamortized premium or discount. The Company discontinues the accrual of interest on mortgage loans which are delinquent more than 90 days or when collection is uncertain.
 
Other investments include holdings in affiliated mutual funds and preferred stocks and are valued in accordance with rules established by the NAIC. Generally, investments in mutual funds are valued at fair value and preferred stocks in good standing at cost.
 
Policy loans are carried at the outstanding loan balance less amounts unsecured by the cash surrender value of the policy.
 
Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost.
Notes to Statutory Financial Statements, Continued
 
 
In compliance with regulatory requirements, the Company maintains an Asset Valuation Reserve (“AVR”) and an Interest Maintenance Reserve (“IMR”). The AVR and other investment reserves stabilize surplus against fluctuations in the value of stocks, as well as declines in the value of bonds and mortgage loans. The IMR defers after-tax realized capital gains and losses which result from changes in the overall level of interest rates for all types of fixed income investments and interest related hedging activities. These interest rate related gains and losses are amortized into net investment income using the grouped method over the remaining life of the investment sold or over the remaining life of the underlying asset. Net realized after-tax capital losses of $1.4 million in 1999, and realized after-tax capital gains of $2.6 million in 1998 and $2.0 million in 1997 were deferred into the IMR. Amortization of the IMR into net investment income amounted to $0.5 million in 1999, $0.3 million in 1998 and $0.1 million in 1997. At December 31, 1999, the unamortized IMR deferred was in a net loss position, which in accordance with the regulations, was recorded as a reduction of surplus.
 
Realized capital gains and losses, less taxes, not includable in the IMR, are recognized in net income. Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. Unrealized capital gains and losses are included in surplus.

b. Separate Accounts
 
Separate account assets and liabilities represent segregated funds administered and invested by the Company for the benefit of variable life and annuity contractholders. Assets consist principally of marketable securities reported at fair value. Transfers due from separate accounts represent the policyholders’ account values in excess of statutory benefit reserves. Premiums, benefits and expenses of the separate accounts are reported in the Statutory Statement of Income. The Company receives administrative and investment advisory fees from these accounts.
 
Net transfers to separate accounts of $341.4 million, $121.0 million and $146.5 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, are included in addition to policyholders’ reserves and funds, in the Statutory Statements of Income.
 
c. Non-admitted Assets
 
Assets designated as “non-admitted” include prepaid agent commissions, other prepaid expenses and the IMR, when in a net loss deferral position, and are excluded from the Statutory Statements of Financial Position. These amounted to $9.9 million and $5.5 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively and changes therein are charged directly to surplus.
 
d. Policyholders’ Reserves and Funds
 
Policyholders’ reserves for life insurance contracts are developed using accepted actuarial methods computed principally on the net level premium, the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method and the California Method bases using the 1980 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary mortality tables with assumed interest rates ranging from 2.50 to 4.50 percent.
 
Reserves for individual annuities are based on accepted actuarial methods, principally at interest rates ranging from 6.25 to 9.00 percent.
 
e. Premium and Related Expense Recognition
 
Life insurance premium revenue is recognized annually on the anniversary date of the policy. Annuity premium is recognized when received. Commissions and other costs related to the issuance of new policies, and policy maintenance and settlement costs are charged to current operations when incurred.
 
f. Cash and Short-term Investments
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of twelve months or less to be short-term investments.
Notes to Statutory Financial Statements, Continued
 
 
    
2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
Provision for federal income taxes is based upon the Company’s estimate of its tax liability. No deferred tax effect is recognized for temporary differences that may exist between financial reporting and taxable income. Accordingly, the reporting of miscellaneous temporary differences, such as reserves and policy acquisition costs, resulted in effective tax rates which differ from the statutory tax rate.
 
The Company plans to file a separate company 1999 federal income tax return.
 
The Internal Revenue Service has completed its examination of the Company’s income tax returns through the year 1995. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company’s income tax returns for the years 1996 and 1997. The Company believes adjustments which may result from such examinations will not materially affect its financial position.
 
Federal tax payments were $6.8 million in 1999, $16.9 million in 1998 and $6.8 million in 1997.
  
3.  SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY
 
The Board of Directors of MassMutual has authorized the contribution of funds to the Company sufficient to meet the capital requirements of all states in which the Company is licensed to do business. Substantially all of the statutory shareholder’s equity is subject to dividend restrictions relating to various state regulations, which limit the payment of dividends to the shareholder without prior approval. Under these regulations, $14.1 million of shareholder’s equity is available for distribution to the shareholder in 2000 without prior regulatory approval.
 
During 1998, MassMutual contributed additional paid-in capital of $25.0 million to the Company.
 
4.    INVESTMENTS
 
The Company maintains a diversified investment portfolio. Investment policies limit concentration in any asset class, geographic region, industry group, economic characteristic, investment quality or individual investment. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments to purchase privately placed bonds and mortgage loans.

b.
Mortgages
 
The Company had restructured loans with book values of $10.3 million and $10.4 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These loans typically have been modified to defer a portion of the contractual interest payments to future periods. Interest deferred to future periods was immaterial in 1999, 1998 and 1997.
 
Approximately 60% and 50% of the Company’s commercial mortgage loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were loans whose underlying collateral is comprised of office buildings. There were no significant regional concentrations of commercial mortgage loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998.
 
At December 31, 1999, scheduled commercial mortgage loan maturities were as follows: 2000 – $3.3 million; 2001 – $10.2 million; 2002 – $28.6 million; 2003 – $21.5 million; 2004 – $24.4 million; and $74.0 million thereafter.

5. PORTFOLIO RISK MANAGEMENT
 
The Company uses common derivative financial instruments to manage its investment risks, primarily to reduce interest rate and duration imbalances determined in asset/liability analyses. These financial instruments described below are not recorded in the financial statements, unless otherwise noted. The Company does not hold or issue these financial instruments for trading purposes.
 
The notional amounts described do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the exposure of the Company. The amounts exchanged are calculated on the basis of the notional amounts and the other terms of the instruments, which relate to interest rates, exchange rates, security prices or financial or other indexes.
 
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements, options, and purchased caps and floors to reduce interest rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities and to modify portfolio profiles to manage other risks identified. Under interest rate swaps, the Company agrees to an exchange, at specified intervals, between streams of variable rate and fixed rate interest payments calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. Gains and losses realized on the termination of contracts are deferred and amortized through the IMR over the remaining life of the associated contract. IMR amortization is included in net investment income on the Statutory Statements of Income. Net amounts receivable and payable are accrued as adjustments to net investment income and included in investment and insurance amounts receivable on the Statutory Statements of Financial Position. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had swaps with notional amounts of $226.5 million and $197.5 million, respectively.
 
Options grant the purchaser the right to buy or sell a security or enter into a derivative transaction at a stated price within a stated period. The Company’s option contracts have terms of up to ten years. The amounts paid for options purchased are amortized into net investment income over the life of the contract on a straight-line basis. Unamortized costs are included in other investments on the Statutory Statements of Financial Position. Gains and losses on these contracts are recorded at the expiration or termination date and are deferred and amortized through the IMR over the remaining life of the option contract. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had option contracts with notional amounts of $944.5 million and $961.2 million, respectively. The Company’s credit risk exposure was limited to the unamortized costs of $7.0 million and $7.5 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
 
Interest rate cap agreements grant the purchaser the right to receive the excess of a referenced interest rate over a stated rate calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. Interest rate floor agreements grant the purchaser the right to receive the excess of a stated rate over a referenced interest rate calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. Amounts paid for interest rate caps and floors are amortized into net investment income over the life of the asset on a straight-line basis. Unamortized costs are included in other investments on the Statutory Statements of Financial Position. Amounts receivable and payable are accrued as adjustments to net investment income and included in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position as investment and insurance amounts receivable. Gains and losses on these contracts, including any unamortized cost, are recognized upon termination and are deferred and amortized through the IMR over the remaining life of the associated cap or floor agreement. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had agreements with notional amounts of $355.0 million. The Company’s credit risk exposure on these agreements is limited to the unamortized costs of $0.2 million and $0.5 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
 
The Company utilizes asset swap agreements to reduce exposures, such as currency risk and prepayment risk, built into certain assets acquired. Cross-currency interest rate swaps allow investment in foreign currencies, increasing access to additional investment opportunities, while limiting foreign exchange risk. The net cash flows from asset and currency swaps are recognized as adjustments to the underlying assets’ net investment income. Gains and losses realized on the termination of these contracts adjusts the bases of the underlying assets. Notional amounts relating to asset and currency swaps totaled $3.6 million at December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 1998, the Company did not have any open asset swap agreements.
 
The Company enters into forward U.S. Treasury, Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) commitments for the purpose of managing interest rate exposure. The Company generally does not take delivery on forward commitments. These commitments are instead settled with offsetting transactions. Gains and losses on forward commitments are recorded when the commitment is closed and deferred and amortized through the IMR over the remaining life of the asset. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had U. S. Treasury, GNMA and FNMA purchase commitments which will settle during the following year with contractual amounts of $15.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Notes to Statutory Financial Statements, Continued
 
 
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. This exposure is limited to contracts with a positive fair value. The amounts at risk in a net gain position were $3.8 million and $14.2 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company monitors exposure to ensure counterparties are credit worthy and concentration of exposure is minimized. Additionally, collateral positions are obtained with counterparties when considered prudent.
 
    
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Fair values are based on quoted market prices, when available. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These valuation techniques require management to develop a significant number of assumptions, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flow. Derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets or to disclosures by other companies with similar financial instruments. These fair value disclosures do not purport to be the amount that could be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 1999 and 1998.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
Bonds and other investments: The estimated fair value of bonds and other investments is based on quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are determined by the Company using a pricing matrix.
 
Mortgage loans: The estimated fair value of mortgage loans is determined from a pricing matrix for performing loans and the estimated underlying real estate value for non-performing loans.
 
Policy loans, cash and short-term investments: Fair values for these instruments approximate the carrying amounts reported in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position.
 
Investment-type insurance contracts: The estimated fair value for liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts are determined by discounted cash flow projections.
Notes to Statutory Financial Statements, Continued
 
 
Off-balance sheet financial instruments: The fair values for off-balance sheet financial instruments are based upon market prices or prices obtained from brokers.
   
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
MassMutual and the Company have an agreement whereby MassMutual, for a fee, furnishes the Company, as required, operating facilities, human resources, computer software development and managerial services. Also, investment and administrative services are provided to the Company pursuant to a management services agreement with MassMutual. Fees incurred under the terms of these agreements were $124.5 million, $74.1 million and $39.7 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. While management believes that these fees are calculated on a reasonable basis, they may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred on a stand-alone basis.
 
The Company cedes a portion of its life insurance business to MassMutual and other insurers in the normal course of business. The Company’s retention limit per individual insured is $15.0 million; the portion of the risk exceeding the retention limit is reinsured with other insurers, including MassMutual. The Company is contingently liable with respect to ceded reinsurance in the event any reinsurer is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations.
 
The Company has a modified coinsurance quota-share reinsurance agreement with MassMutual whereby the Company cedes 75% of the premiums on certain universal life policies. In return, MassMutual pays the Company a stipulated expense allowance, death and surrender benefits, and a modified coinsurance adjustment based upon experience. The Company retains the assets and related reserves for payment of future benefits on the ceded policies. Premium income of $29.8 million, $33.7 million and $35.1 million was ceded to MassMutual in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Policyholder benefits of $38.7 million, $38.4 million and $36.9 million were ceded to MassMutual in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
 
The Company also has a stop-loss agreement with MassMutual under which the Company cedes claims which, in aggregate, exceed .22% of the covered volume for any year, with maximum coverage of $25.0 million above the aggregate limit. The aggregate limit was $45.4 million in 1999, $36.9 million in 1998, and $35.6 million in 1997 and it was not exceeded in any of the years. Premium income of $1.3 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million was ceded to MassMutual in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
  
8. BUSINESS RISKS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is subject to insurance guaranty fund laws in the states in which it does business. These laws assess insurance companies amounts to be used to pay benefits to policyholders and claimants of insolvent insurance companies. Many states allow these assessments to be credited against future premium taxes. The Company believes such assessments in excess of amounts accrued will not materially affect its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
The Company is involved in litigation arising in and out of the normal course of business, including suits which seek both compensatory and punitive damages. While the Company is not aware of any actions or allegations which should reasonably give rise to any material adverse effect, the outcome of litigation cannot be foreseen with certainty. It is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially affect its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") such supplementary and periodic information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred in that section.

RULE 484 UNDERTAKING

The Bylaws of C.M. Life provide for indemnification of directors and officers as follows:

C.M. Life directors and officers are indemnified under its by-laws. No indemnification is provided with respect to any liability to any entity which is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or to the security holders thereof, where the basis for such liability is willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of office.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of C.M. Life pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, C.M. Life has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by C.M. Life of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of C.M. Life 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, C.M. Life will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPRESENTATION UNDER SECTION 26(e)(2)(A) OF
THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940

C.M. Life hereby represents that the fees and charges deducted under the flexible premium adjustable variable life insurance policies described in this Registration Statement in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by C.M. Life.
