II
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
AND SECURITIES OF THE TRUST
General Information Concerning the Securities of the Trust and the Rights of
Holders
10. Furnish a brief statement with respect to the following matters for
each class or series of securities issued by the trust:
(a) Whether the securities are of the registered or bearer type.
The Policies which are to be issued are of the registered
type, insofar as the Policies are personal to the Owners, and
the records concerning the Owners are maintained by or on
behalf of the Company. (Terms such as "Owner" that are
capitalized but not defined herein are defined terms in the
Registration Statement on Form S-6, hereinafter referred to as
the "Prospectus," which is incorporated herein by reference,
and the defined terms used herein will have the same meaning
as in that Registration Statement.)
(b) Whether the securities are of the cumulative or distributive
type.
The Policies are of the cumulative type, providing for no
distribution of income, dividends, or capital gains. Such
amounts are not separately identifiable but are reflected in
the accumulation value and may be reflected in the Death
Benefit under a Policy at any time.
(c) The rights of security holders with respect to withdrawal or
redemption.
Initial Right to Cancel the Certificate
A Certificate may be returned for cancellation and a full
refund of premium within 30 days after the Certificate is
received, unless otherwise stipulated by state law
requirements. Any premium payment made prior
<PAGE> 5
to the expiration of the 30 day Right to Examine period will
be held in the Fixed Account and will not be allocated to the
Separate Account even if the Owner may have so directed
until three business days following the expiration of the
right-to- examine period. If the Certificate is returned for
cancellation in a timely fashion, the refund of premiums paid,
without interest, will usually occur within seven days of
notice of cancellation, although a refund of premiums
paid by check may be delayed until the check clears the bank
upon which it is drawn. Any refund will be reduced by partial
surrenders or loans plus interest accrued.
The Net Cash Value is the Cash Value of the Certificate less
the Current Outstanding Loan Balance.
A partial surrender may be made at any time by written request
to the Customer Service Center during the lifetime of the
Insured and while the Certificate is in force. Such request
may also be made by telephone if telephone transfers have been
previously authorized in writing. A $25 transaction fee is
charged.
The amount of a partial surrender may not exceed 90% of the
Net Cash Value at the end of the Valuation Period in which the
election would become effective, and may not be less than
$250.
A partial surrender will reduce the Cash Value and the Death
Benefit, but it will not reduce the Coverage Amount.
If, at the time of a partial surrender, the Net Cash Value is
attributable to more than one of the Fund Accounts and the
Fixed Accounts, the $25 transaction charge and the amount paid
upon the surrender will be taken proportionately from the
values in each Fund Account and the Fixed Account, unless the
Owner and the Company agree otherwise.
A full surrender may be made at any time during the lifetime
of the Insured while the Certificate is in force. The Company
will pay the Net Cash Value (less the transaction fee and any
other amounts due the Company) next computed after receiving
the Owner's written request at the Customer Service Center in
a form satisfactory to the Company, and return of the
Certificate to the Company. Payment of any amount from the
Separate Account on a full surrender will usually be made
within seven calendar days thereafter.
Payment of the surrendered amount from the Separate Account
may be postponed when the New York Stock Exchange is closed
and for such other periods as the
<PAGE> 6
Commission may require. Payment from the Fixed Account
may be deferred up to six months at the Company's option. If
the Company exercises its right to defer such payments from
the Fixed Account interest will be added as required by law.
(d) The rights of security holders with respect to conversion,
transfer, partial redemption, and similar matters.
An Owner may obtain loans as described in Item 21.
An Owner may make surrenders, as described in Item 10(c) and
subject to certain charges as described in Item 13.
While the Certificate is in force, values may, at any time, be
transferred ($250 minimum) from one Fund Account to another,
or from the Separate Account to the Fixed Account. Within the
30 days after each Policy Anniversary Date, the Owner may also
transfer a portion of the Fixed Account Value to one or more
Fund Accounts. Transfers from the Fixed Account are allowed
in the 30-day period after a Policy Anniversary Date and will
be effective as of the next Valuation Day after a request is
received in good order at the Customer Service Center. The
cumulative amount of any transfers within any such 30-day
period cannot exceed 25% of the Fixed Account Value. The
Company may further limit transfers from the Fixed Account at
any time.
Subject to the above restrictions, up to 12 transfers
may be made in any Policy Year without charge. Any value
remaining in the Fixed Account or a Fund Account after a
transfer must be at least $250. Any transfer made which
causes the remaining value of Variable Accumulation Units for
a Fund Account to be less than $250 will result in those
remaining Variable Accumulation Units being transferred as a
part of the requested transfer. Transfers may be made in
writing (or by telephone if telephone transactions have been
previously authorized in writing). To make a telephone
transfer, the Owner must call the Customer Service Center and
provide, as identification, his or her Certificate Number, his
or her Social Security number, his or her personal
identification number. A customer service representative will
then, upon ascertaining that telephone transfers are
authorized for that Certificate, take the transfer request,
which will be processed as of the next close of business and
confirmed the day after that. The Company disclaims
<PAGE> 7
all liability for losses resulting from unauthorized or
fraudulent telephone transactions, but acknowledges that
if it does not follow these procedures, which it believes to
be reasonable, it may be liable for such losses.
Any transfers among the Fund Accounts or to the Fixed Account
will result in the crediting and cancellation of Variable
Accumulation Units based on the Variable Accumulation Unit
values next determined after a written request is received at
the Customer Service Center. (The Owner should carefully
consider current market conditions and each Fund's investment
policies and related risks before allocating money to the Fund
Accounts.)
(e) If the trust is the issuer of periodic payment plan
certificates, the substance of the provisions of any indenture
or agreement with respect to lapses or defaults by security
holders in making principal payments, and with respect to
reinstatement.
A lapse occurs if a Monthly Deduction due under the
Certificate is greater than the Net Cash Value and no payment
to cover the Monthly Deduction is made within the Grace
Period. The Company will send the Owner a lapse notice at
least 61 days before the Grace Period expires.
The Owner can apply, in writing, for reinstatement at any time
prior to three years after the date of lapse provided the
Certificate was not surrendered. To reinstate a Certificate,
the Company will require satisfactory evidence of good health
(at the Owner's expense) and an amount sufficient to pay for
the current Monthly Deduction plus one additional Monthly
Deduction, plus repayment of any Current Outstanding Loan
Balance and any interest accrued from the date of lapse.
Reinstatement will be effective on the date the Company
approves the reinstatement.
(f) The substance of the provisions of any indenture or agreement
with respect to voting rights, together with the names of any
persons other than security holders given the right to
exercise voting rights pertaining to the trust's securities or
the underlying securities and the relationship of such persons
to the trust.
In accordance with its view of presently applicable law, the
Company will vote the shares of each Fund held in the Separate
Account at meetings of the shareholders of the particular Fund
in accordance with written
<PAGE> 8
instructions received from persons having Variable
Accumulation Units of the Fund Account. The Company will vote
shares for which it has not received instructions, as well as
shares attributable to it, in the same proportion as it votes
shares for which it has received instructions. The Funds do
not hold regular meetings of shareholders.
The number of votes that an Owner has the right to instruct
will be determined as of the date coincident with the date
established by the Fund for determining shareholders eligible
to vote at the meeting of the Fund but not more than sixty
(60) days before the meeting of the Fund. Voting instructions
will be solicited by written communication at least fourteen
(14) days prior to the meeting of the Fund.
(g) Whether security holders must be given notice of any change in:
(1) the composition of the assets of the trust.
The Company reserves the right, subject to compliance
with applicable law:
(a) to make additions to, deletions from, or
substitutions for the Fund shares that are
held or purchased by the Separate Account;
(b) to eliminate the shares of any Fund and to
substitute shares of another open-end,
registered investment company, if the shares
of that Fund are no longer available for
investment, or if in its judgment further
investment in that Fund should become
inappropriate in view of the purposes of the
Separate Account;
(c) to eliminate one or more Fund Accounts, if in
its sole discretion, marketing, tax or
investment conditions warrant;
(d) to operate the Separate Account as a
management company under the 1940 Act;
(e) to deregister the Separate Account under the
1940 Act in the event such registration is no
longer required; and
(f) to combine the Separate Account with one or
more of the Company's other Separate Accounts
as may be established.
<PAGE> 9
In no event will any of the changes described above
be made without notice to Owners in accordance with
the federal securities laws and without obtaining, as
necessary, prior approval of the Commission.
(2) the terms and conditions of the securities issued by
the trust.
No changes in the terms and conditions of a Policy
that affect a Group Policyholder and an Owner's
rights will be made without notice to the Group
Policyholder and the Owner.
(3) the provisions of any indenture or agreement of the
trust.
Not applicable.
(4) the identity of the depositor, trustee or custodian.
The Company is considered to be the Depositor. The
Separate Account has no trustee or custodian. There
is no provision requiring notice to, or consent of,
security holders, with respect to a change in the
identity of the depositor.
(h) Whether the consent of security holders is required in order
for action to be taken concerning any change in:
(1) the composition of the assets of the trust.
Consent of policyowners or certificate owners is not
required when changing the underlying securities of
the Separate Account. However, to change such
securities, approval of the Commission is required by
Section 26(b) of the 1940 Act. Except as required by
federal or state law or regulation, no action will be
taken by the Company which will adversely affect the
rights of policyowners and certificate owners without
their consent.
(2) the terms and conditions of the securities issued by
the trust.
No changes in the terms and conditions of a Policy
that affect a policyowner's rights will be made
without notice to the policyowner.
The Company reserves the right to amend the Policy
without policyowner consent as may be necessary to
comply with applicable law.
<PAGE> 10
(3) the provisions of any indenture or agreement of the
trust.
Not applicable.
(4) the identity of the depositor, trustee or custodian.
See Item 10(g)(4).
(i) Any other principal feature of the securities issued by the
trust or any other principal right, privilege or obligation
not covered by subdivisions (a) to (g) or by any other item in
this form.
The Certificates provide for flexible premium payments.
Premium payments are payable at the frequency and in the
amount selected by the Owner. The initial premium payment is
due on the Certificate Effective Date. Premiums may be paid
on a periodic basis (e.g., through payroll deduction or
through periodic billing) or on a lump sum basis. The minimum
payment required is the amount necessary to maintain a
positive Net Cash Value. Each subsequent lump sum premium
payment must be at least $25. The Company reserves the right
to decline any application or premium payment.
All premium payments, whether periodic or on a lump sum basis,
will be deemed received when actually received by the Company
at its Customer Service Center; or,if such premium payment is
made by payroll deduction, such premium payment will be deemed
received when confirmation of wire transfer into a bank
account maintained by the Company for receipt of premiums from
Group Policyholders under these Policies is received by the
Company. Such a wire transfer must be preceded, by two
business days, by a reconciliation statement identifying the
Group Policyholder, the Certificate number, the Owner and the
amount of premium received for each Certificate.
The Owner may elect to increase, decrease or change the
frequency of premium payments.
Payment of periodic premiums or lump sum premiums in any
amount will not guarantee that the Certificate will remain in
force. Conversely, failure to pay periodic premiums will not
necessarily cause a Certificate to lapse.
At any time, the Owner may increase periodic premium payments
or make lump sum premium payments, but:
<PAGE> 11
* Evidence of good health may be required if the
additional premium or the new periodic premium
payment would require the Company to increase the
Coverage Amount. If satisfactory evidence of good
health is requested and not provided, the increase in
premium will be refunded without interest and without
participation of such amounts in any Fund Accounts
and less any surrenders and loans, with accrued
interest.
* In no event may the total of all premium payments
exceed the then-current maximum premium limitations
established by federal law for a Certificate to
qualify as life insurance. If, at any time, a
premium payment would result in total premiums
exceeding such maximum premium limitation, the
Company will only accept that portion of the premium
payment which will make total premiums equal the
maximum. Any part of the premium in excess of that
amount will be returned or applied as otherwise
agreed and no further premium payments will be
accepted until allowed by the then-current maximum
premium limitations prescribed by law.
* If there is any Current Outstanding Loan Balance, any
lump sum premium payments will be used first as a
loan repayment with any excess applied as an
additional Net Premium Payment - unless otherwise
agreed between the Owner and the Company.
The Policies will be offered to Group Policyholders (employers
and unions) who wish to make variable universal life insurance
coverage available to all or a portion of their Employees
(employees of employers and members of unions) and retirees
and their families. Employees may apply for coverage under the
Policy within policy limits and subject to certain
requirements to provide evidence of good health.
Employees may also apply for variable universal life insurance
coverage on their spouses and for term life insurance coverage
on their children. Depending upon the coverage selected by the
Group Policyholder, Employees may be able to continue their
coverage upon retirement, leave of absence, and/or termination
of employment. Spouses may be able to continue coverage upon
divorce, or death of the Employee.
Information Concerning the Securities Underlying the Fund's Securities
11. Describe briefly the kind or type of securities comprising the unit of
specified securities in which security holders
<PAGE> 12
have an interest. (If the unit consists of a single security issued
by an investment company, name such investment company and furnish a
description of the type of securities comprising the portfolio of such
investment company.)
The Separate Account invests at the Policyholder and/or Owner's
option, in securities of one or more of the Funds, each of which is a
mutual fund registered with the Commission as an open-end diversified
management investment company. Each Fund Account invests solely in
shares of one of the seven Funds. Each Fund is a portfolio of a trust
or corporation. The seven Funds and their investment objectives are
as follows:
Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund
of the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II
The fund seeks high current income by investing primarily in
fixed-income obligations of all types. The fund invests at least 65%
of its assets in investment-grade, fixed income securities such as
bonds, notes and debentures, and maintains a dollar-weighted average
maturity of ten years or less. Because the fund invests in fixed
income securities, its share price is related to changes in interest
rates. The fund may use various investment techniques to hedge the
fund's risks, but there is no guarantee that these strategies will
work as intended. With its focus on medium- to high-quality
investments and intermediate maturity, the fund has a moderate risk
level and yield potential.
Fidelity Asset Manager
of the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II
The fund seeks high total return with reduced risk over the long term.
The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its
assets among stocks, bonds, short-term and other investments of U.S.
and foreign issuers. The fund spreads its assets among all three asset
classes moderating both its risk and return potential. Because the
fund can invest in bonds and short-term instruments, its returns may
not be as high as a fund that invests only in stocks.
Fidelity Equity-Income Fund of the
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund
The fund seeks reasonable income by investing primarily in
income-producing securities. It will normally have 65% of its assets
invested in such securities. The balance will tend to be invested in
debt obligations many of which are expected to be convertible into
common stock.The fund seeks to achieve a yield that beats that of the
S&P 500. The fund does have the flexibility to invest the balance in
all types
<PAGE> 13
of securities, including bonds of varying quality. The fund is
designed for those who want some income from equity and bond
investments, but also want to be invested in the stock market for its
long-term growth potential.
Fidelity Overseas Portfolio of the
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in
securities of issuers whose principal activities are outside of the
U.S. The fund normally invests at least 65% of the funds total assets
in securities of issuers from at least three different countries
outside of North America. The fund expects to invest a majority of its
assets in equity securities, but may also invest in debt securities of
any quality. The fund may invest in the securities of any issuer,
including companies and other business organizations, as well as
governments and government agencies. It is important to note that
investments in foreign securities involve risks in addition to those
of U.S. investments. The performance of the fund depends upon currency
values, the political and regulatory environment, and overall economic
factors in the countries in which the fund invests.
TCI Growth of
TCI Portfolios, Inc.
The investment objective of TCI Growth is capital growth. The fund
will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily
in common stocks that are considered by management to have
better-than-average prospects for appreciation. It may purchase
securities only of companies that have a record of at least three
years' continuous operation.
CIGNA Money Market Fund
of CIGNA Variable Products Group
The fund seeks to earn a high level of current income while
maintaining a stable share price by investing in high-quality,
short-term money market securities of different types. It stresses
income, preservation of capital, and liquidity, and does not seek the
higher yields or capital appreciation that more aggressive investments
may provide. The funds yield will vary from day to day and generally
reflects current short-term interest rates and other market
conditions.
CIGNA Companion Fund of
CIGNA Variable Products Group
The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 500 while keeping
expenses low. The S&P is made up of 500 common
<PAGE> 14
stocks, most of which trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The funds
composition may not always be identical to that of the S&P 500.
Because the fund seeks to track, rather than exceed, the performance
of the S&P 500, it is not managed in the same manner as other mutual
funds. It should not be expected to achieve the greater results that
could be obtained by a fund that aggressively seeks growth.

if any underlying securities were issued by another investment
company, furnish the following information for each such company:
(a) Name of company.
See Item 11.
(b) Name and principal business address of depositor.
See Item 4.
(c) Name and principal business address of trustee or custodian.

Information Concerning Loads, Fees, Charges and Expenses
<PAGE> 15
13. (a) Furnish the following information with respect to each load,
fee, expense or charge to which (1) principal payments, (2)
underlying securities, (3) distributions, (4) cumulated or
reinvested distributions or income, and (5) redeemed or
liquidated assets of the trust's securities are subject:
(A) the nature of such load, fee, expense, or charge;
(B) the amount thereof;
(C) the name of the person to whom such amounts are paid
and his relationship to the trust;
(D) the nature of the services performed by such person
in consideration for such load, fee, expense or
charge.
(1) Principal Payments
A deduction of 3.0% of each premium will be made to
cover the premium load. This load represents 2.5%
for state premium taxes and 0.5% for the effect of
federal income taxes. This load may be changed from
time to time but may not exceed 5%.
(2) Underlying Securities
No load, fee expense or charge is assessed in
connection with the purchase of the underlying
securities for the Separate Account.
(3) Distributions
No load, fee, expense or charge is assessed in
connection with distributions, except for a $25
transaction fee with respect to partial or full
surrenders.
(4) Cumulated or Reinvested Distributions or Income
All income and other distributions earned by the
Separate Account are reinvested, after charges to
provide for taxes attributable to the operation of
the Separate Account and charges for mortality and
expense risk, at net asset value in shares of the
Fund. Currently there are no charges to provide for
taxes attributable to the operation of the Separate
Account, and the mortality and expense risk charge is
made daily at an effective annual rate of 0.45% of
the value of each Fund Account. The mortality and
expense risk charges may be increased if the Company
feels they are
<PAGE> 16
inadequate, but they may not exceed an effective
annual rate of 0.90% of each Fund Account.
(5) Redeemed or Liquidated Assets
No load, fee, expense or charge is assessed in
connection with redemption or liquidation of assets,
except for a $25 transaction fee of partial or full
surrenders.
(b) For each installment payment type of periodic payment plan
certificate of the trust, furnish the following information
with respect to sales load and other deductions from principal
payments.
Not applicable.
(c) State the amount of total deductions as a percentage of the
net amount invested for each type of security issued by the
trust. State each different sales charge available as a
percentage of the public offering price and as a percentage of
the net amount invested. List any special purchase plans or
methods established by rule or exemptive order that reflect
scheduled variations in, or elimination of, the sales load and
identify each class of individuals or transactions to which
such plans apply.
A deduction of 3.0% of each premium payment will be made to
cover the premium load. This load represents 2.5% for state
premium taxes and 0.5% for the effect of federal income taxes.
This load may be changed from time to time but may not exceed
5%.
(d) Explain fully the reasons for any difference in the price at
which securities are offered generally to the public, and the
price at which securities are offered for any class of
transactions to any class or group of individuals, including
officers, directors, or employees of the depositor, trustee
custodian or principal underwriter.
Not applicable.
(e) Furnish a brief description of any loads, fees, expenses or
charges not covered in Item 13(a) which may be paid by
security holders in connection with the trust or its
securities. (Assignment, reinstatement, replacing lost
certificates, etc.)
(1) Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. The Company
charges the Fund Accounts for the mortality and
expense risks the Company assumes. The charge is made
daily at an effective annual rate not to
<PAGE> 17
exceed 0.90% (the current charge is 0.45%). The
Company estimates that .30% of this charge would be
for mortality risks and .60% for expense risks. The
mortality risk assumed is that Insureds may live for
a shorter period of time than estimated, and
therefore, a greater amount of death
benefits will be payable. The expense risk
assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and
administering the Policies will be greater than
estimated.
(2) Cash Value Transfer Charge. After the twelfth
transfer during any one policy year, a charge of $25
will be imposed for each transfer. The charge will be
deducted from the Fund Account from which the
transfer is made. The Company reserves the right to
waive the transfer charge for specific transactions
or for groups of transactions.
(3) Taxes. Currently no charge is taken from the
Separate Account for federal income taxes that may be
attributable to the operation of the Separate
Account. The Company may, however, make such a charge
in the future. Charges for other taxes, if any,
attributable to the Separate Account operation may
also be made.
(4) Monthly Deduction. Charges will be deducted from the
Cash Value of each Certificate to compensate the
Company for certain administrative costs, and for the
cost of insurance and optional benefits added by
rider. The monthly deduction will be due on the first
of each month and deducted shortly thereafter and the
deduction will be allocated among the Fixed Account
and Fund Accounts based on the proportionate values
in each funding vehicle. The monthly charges consist
of the following:
(A) Monthly Administrative Charge. The Company
has responsibility for the administration of
the Policy, the Certificates, and the
Separate Account. Annual administrative
expenses include premium billing and
collection, recordkeeping, processing death
benefit claims, full and partial surrenders,
and Certificate changes, reporting and
overhead costs. As reimbursement for
administrative expenses related to the
maintenance of each Policy, Certificate, and
the Separate Account, the Company assesses a
monthly administrative fee. The
administrative fee is divided into two
separate fixed dollar monthly charges. The
first charge, which will not exceed $5.00 per
month, is assessed against each Certificate.
<PAGE> 18
The second fixed dollar charge, which
will not exceed $3.00 per month, is assessed,
in addition to the first charge, against
Certificates which have accumulated
Cash Value in any Fund Account. The second
charge is waived when the Net Cash Value
exceeds $10,000. The aggregate of the two
charges is guaranteed for the life of the
Policy not to exceed $6.00 per month nor will
it exceed the Company's costs without profit
of administration.
(B) Cost of Insurance Charge. Because the cost
of insurance depends upon a number of
variables, this charge can vary. The Company
will determine the cost of insurance charge
by multiplying the Coverage Amount of the
Certificate by the applicable cost of
insurance rate. The Coverage Amount of the
Certificate is the amount selected by the
Owner, as changed by the Owner from time to
time, and is reflected in the Coverage
Verification Pages of the Certificate.
The cost of insurance rate is based on
the Insured's attained age, the type of
benefit, the size and type of group, gender
mix of the group, expectations of
participation, the Eligible Class of the
Insured, experience and persistency of the
group, federal and state taxes, rating
classes, expectations due to future
mortality, and whether premiums for that
Insured are paid directly to the Company or
through payroll deductions. They will not,
however, be greater than the guaranteed cost
of insurance rates set forth in the Policy.
These guaranteed rates are based on 150% of
the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Male
Mortality Table and the Insured's attained
age on his most recent birthday. Any change
in the cost of insurance rates will apply to
all persons of the same age, gender
classification, Eligibility Class, group,
payment mechanism category, and rating class.

monthly deduction will include deductions for
any optional insurance benefits added to a
Certificate by rider or benefit elections

purchase of the trust's securities or interests in such
securities, or underlying securities or interests in
underlying securities, and describe fully the nature and
extent of such profits or benefits.
Neither the Company nor any affiliated persons of the Company

payments under the Policies or the investments held in the
Separate Account not included in the answers to Items 13 (a)
or 13 (d) through the sale or purchase of the Policies or
shares of the Funds, except that (1) the Company may receive a
profit to the extent that the cost of insurance built into a
Policy exceeds the actual amount needed to pay benefits; (2)
favorable mortality or expense experience may cause the
insurance provided under a Policy to be profitable to the
Company; (3) on Policy loans, the Company may derive a profit
on the difference between interest charged and interest
credited; (4) the Company will compensate certain other
persons, including Company agents, for services rendered in
connection with the distribution of the Policies and
Certificates but such payments will be made from the Company's
General Account and (5) the Company may receive fees from the
Funds or their advisers for providing certain services such as

Information Concerning the Operations of the Fund
14. Describe the procedure with respect to applications (if any) and the
issuance and authentication of the trust's securities, and state the
substance of the provisions of any indenture or agreement pertaining
thereto.
The Policies will be offered to Group Policyholders (employers and
unions) who wish to make variable universal life insurance coverage
available to all or a portion of their Employees (employees of
employers and members of unions) and retirees and their families.
Employees may apply for coverage under the Policy within policy limits
and subject to certain requirements to provide evidence of good
health.
Employees may also apply for variable universal life insurance
coverage on their spouses and for term life
<PAGE> 20
insurance coverage on their children. Depending upon the coverage
selected by the Group Policyholder, Employees may be able to continue
their coverage upon retirement, leave of absence, and/or termination
of employment. Spouses may be able to continue coverage upon divorce,
or death of the Employee.
Employees will be able to purchase insurance on themselves and their
spouses in amounts up to a guaranteed issue amount without providing
evidence of good health. The guaranteed issue amount will be agreed
upon between the Group Policyholder and the Company before coverage
under the Policy is offered to Employees. Employees and their spouses
will be required to provide evidence of good health for amounts of
insurance in excess of the guaranteed issue amount, for any increases
in coverage, or if they enroll after the Certificate Effective Date,
or more than 30 days after becoming eligible after the Certificate
Effective Date.
The minimum Coverage Amount for Insured Employees is $10,000.
The minimum Coverage Amount for spouses is 50% of the Employee selected
Coverage Amount if the Employee selected Coverage Amount is less than
$20,000. Maximum Coverage Amounts for employees and union members, to
be agreed upon between the Group Policyholder and the Company before
coverage under the Policy is offered to eligible persons, will be in
whole number multiples of the employee's or union member's annual
compensation but not more than ten times annual compensation or a
fixed dollar maximum.
Coverage for spouses will be in $10,000 increments up to 50% of the
employee or union member's selected amount.
Maximum Coverage Amounts are subject to limitation by state law and
may vary from state to state.
15. Describe the procedure with respect to the receipt of payments from
purchasers of the trust's securities and the handling of the proceeds
thereof, and state the substance of the provisions of any indenture or
agreement pertaining thereto.
Owners may make premium payments in one of two ways: 1) by payroll
deduction if the Insured or Owner is an employee of the Group
Policyholder, and 2) by remitting premium payments directly to the
Company at the Customer Service Center identified in the Coverage
Verification Pages of the Certificate. Premiums will not be deemed
received until actually received by the designated Customer Service
Center or, for payroll deducted premiums, until confirmation of wire
transfer by the Group Policyholder, to an account established by the
Company for the receipt of premium from the Group Policyholder, is
received by the Company. Wire transferred payroll deduct premiums
must be preceded by a reconciliation of premiums conveyed, at least
two business days
<PAGE> 21
before, to the Customer Service Center identifying the group Policy
Number and the amount of premiums being remitted for each Owner and
such other information as the Company may require to assure proper
investment and crediting of premium payments. Premiums received before
the close of the New York Stock Exchange will be invested based on
closing prices that day.
Upon receipt of premiums, each Owner's premium payment is assessed the
premium load identified in the Certificate's Coverage Verification
Pages, and the resulting Net Premium Payment is allocated to the Fixed
Account and the Fund Accounts as directed by the Owner in accordance
with the terms of the Certificate. Allocation to the Fixed Account
will increase the Fixed Account balance, and allocation to a Fund
Account will increase the number of Variable Accumulation Units held
in that Fund Account. Such allocations must be in 5% increments
totalling 100%.
All Net Premium Payments received by the Company in exchange for
Variable Accumulation Units in a Fund Account are deposited into the
Separate Account which invests in shares of the Funds underlying the
Fund Account.
16. Describe the procedure with respect to the acquisition of underlying
securities and the disposition thereof, and state the substance of the
provisions of any indenture or agreement pertaining thereto.
The Company acts as agent for each Fund underlying a Fund Account
within a Separate Account for the limited purpose of accepting
purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares. The Company may
purchase and redeem shares on each Valuation Day pertaining to a Fund
Account. On each such Valuation Day for each Fund Account, the
Company purchases or redeems shares in each Fund based on a netting of
all transactions for that day, including the amount of premiums
allocated to the applicable Fund Account, transfers, surrenders,
payments, charges, and payment of any benefits due for that day. Such
transactions are governed by Fund Participation Agreements among the
Company and the Funds, their respective investment advisors and their
underwriters.
17. (a) Describe the procedure with respect to withdrawal or
redemption by security holders.
A Certificate may be returned for cancellation and a full
refund of premium within 30 days after the Certificate is
received, unless otherwise stipulated by state law
requirements. Any premium payment made prior to the
expiration of the 30 day Right to Examine period will be held
in the Fixed Account and will not be allocated to the Separate
Account even if the Owner may have so directed until three
business days following
<PAGE> 22
the expiration of the Right-to-Examine period. If the
Certificate is returned for cancellation in a timely fashion,
the refund of premiums paid, without interest, will usually
occur within seven days of notice of cancellation,
although a refund of premiums paid by check may be delayed
until the check clears the bank upon which it is drawn. Any
refund will be reduced by partial surrenders or loans plus
interest accrued.
A partial surrender may be made at any time by written request
to the Customer Service Center during the lifetime of the
Insured and while the Certificate is in force. Such request
may also be made by telephone if telephone transfers have been
previously authorized in writing. A $25 transaction fee is
charged.
The amount of a partial surrender may not exceed 90% of the
Net Cash Value at the end of the Valuation Period in which the
election would become effective, and may not be less than
$250.
A partial surrender will reduce the Cash Value and the Death
Benefit, but it will not reduce the Coverage Amount.
If, at the time of a partial surrender, the Net Cash Value is
attributable to more than one Fund Account, the $25
transaction charge and the amount paid upon the surrender will
be taken proportionately from the values in each Fund Account,
unless the Owner and the Company agree otherwise.
A full surrender may be made at any time during the
lifetime of the Insured and while the Certificate is in force.
The Company will pay the Net Cash Value (less the transaction
fee and any other amounts due the Company) next computed after
receiving the Owner's written request at the Customer Service
Center in a form satisfactory to the Company, and return of
the Certificate to the Company. Payment of any amount from the
Separate Account on a full surrender will usually be made
within seven calendar days thereafter.
Payment of the surrendered amount from the Separate Account
may be postponed when the New York Stock Exchange is closed
and for such other periods as the Commission may require.
Payment from the Fixed Account may be deferred up to six
months at the Company's option. If the Company exercises its
right to defer such payments from the Fixed Account interest
will be added as required by law.
An Owner may obtain loans as described in Item 21.
<PAGE> 23
An Owner may make surrenders, as described in Item 10(c) and
subject to certain charges as described in Item 13.
While the Certificate is in force, values may, at any time, be
transferred ($250 minimum) from one Fund Account to another,
or from the Separate Account to the Fixed Account. Within the
30 days after each Policy Anniversary Date, the Owner may also
transfer a portion of the Fixed Account Value to one or more
Fund Accounts. The cumulative amount of any transfers from
the Fixed Account within any such 30-day period cannot exceed
25% of the Fixed Account Value. The Company may further limit
transfers from the Fixed Account at any time. Transfers from
the Fixed Account will be effective as of the Valuation Day
during which a request is received in good order at the
Customer Service Center.
Subject to the above restrictions, up to 12 transfers may be
made in any Policy Year without charge, and any value
remaining in the Fixed Account or a Fund Account after a
transfer must be at least $250. Transfers may be made in
writing (or by telephone if telephone transactions have been
previously authorized in writing). To make a telephone
transfer, the Owner must call the Customer Service Center and
provide, as identification, his or her Certificate Number, his
or her Social Security number, and/or his or her personal
identification number. A customer service representative will
then, upon ascertaining that telephone transfers are
authorized for that Certificate, take the transfer request,
which will be processed as of the next close of business and
confirmed the day after that. The Company disclaims all
liability for losses resulting from unauthorized or fraudulent
telephone transactions, but acknowledges that if it does not
follow these procedures, which it believes to be reasonable,
it may be liable for such losses.
Any transfers among the Fund Accounts or to the Fixed Account
will result in the crediting and cancellation of Variable
Accumulation Units based on the Variable Accumulation Unit
values next determined after a written request is received at
the Customer Service Center. Any transfer made which causes
the remaining value of Variable Accumulation Units for a Fund
Account to be less than $250 will result in those remaining
Variable Accumulation Units being transferred as part of the
requested transfer. The Owner should carefully consider
current market conditions and each Fund's investment policies
and related risks before allocating money to the Fund
Accounts.
<PAGE> 24
(b) Furnish the names of any persons who may redeem or repurchase,
or are required to redeem or repurchase, the trust's
securities or underlying securities from security holders, and

pertaining thereto.
The Company is required to process all surrender requests as
described in Item 10(c). Each Fund will redeem its shares
upon the Company's request in accordance with the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Redeemed shares are retired although
they may later be reissued if a Fund's governing documents
permit.
(c) Indicate whether repurchased or redeemed securities will be
canceled or may be resold.
A Group Policy or Certificate, once totally surrendered, may
not be reissued.
18. (a) Describe the procedure with respect to the receipt, custody
and disposition of the income and other distributable funds of
the trust and state the substance of the provisions of any
indenture or agreement pertaining thereto.
All dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, of the
Funds will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund
shares at their respective net asset values. Pursuant to the
group policies and Certificates the Company will make
distributions from the Fund Accounts in connection with Death
Benefits, policy loans, and surrenders. Applicable procedures
for such distributions are described in the answers to items
10(c), 10(i)(6), and 21.
(b) Describe the procedure, if any, with respect to the
reinvestment of distributions to security holders and state
the substance of the provisions of any indenture or agreement
pertaining thereto.
Not applicable.
(c) If any reserves or special funds are created out of income or
principal, state with respect to each such reserve or fund the
purpose and ultimate disposition thereof, and describe the
manner of handling of same.
Net Premium Payments allocated to the Separate Account
constitute reserves for variable benefits under the Policies
and Certificates.
(d) Submit a schedule showing the periodic and special
distributions which have been made to security holders during
the three years covered by the financial
<PAGE> 25
statements filed herewith. State for each such distribution
the aggregate amount and amount per share. If
distributions from sources other than current income have been
made identify each such other source ad indicate whether such
distribution represents the return of principal payments to
security holders. If payments other than cash were made
describe the nature thereof, the account charged and the basis
of determining the amount of such charge.
No distributions have been made.
19. Describe the procedure with respect to the keeping of records and
accounts of the trust, the making of reports and the furnishing of
information to security holders, and the substance of the provisions
of any indenture or agreement pertaining thereto.
The Company will have primary responsibility for all administration of
the Policies and the Certificates and the Separate Account. The
administrative services provided include preparation of the Policies
and Certificates, maintenance of Owner records and all accounting,
valuation, regulatory and reporting services required by the Company.
The Company will send such reports of the Separate Account as are
presently required by the 1940 Act and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The Company will also mail to Owners, at the last known
address of record at the Customer Service Center, any reports required
by state law. Each person having a voting interest will receive proxy
materials, reports, and other materials relating to the Funds.

and functions.
(f) The appointment of a successor depositor and the procedure if

There are no provisions relating to the appointment of a
successor depositor nor a procedure if a successor depositor
is not appointed.
21. (a) State the substance of the provisions of any indenture or
agreement with respect to loans to security holders.
If the Certificate is in force and has Net Cash Value, the
Company will make a loan to the Owner of the Certificate using
the Cash Value as security for the loan. A loan requires that
a loan agreement be executed and that the Certificate be
assigned to the Company. The loan may be for any amount up to
90% of the Net Cash Value at the time of the loan. Further,
the Company will not grant a loan which will require the
amount of the Loan Balance to exceed 90% of the Cash Value.
Interest will accrue on the loan at an annual rate of 8% and
will be due on the Policy Anniversary Date or upon surrender
or upon termination of the Certificate. Interest not paid
within 30 days of coming due, will be added to the Loan
Balance as of the date on which it became due. Funds equaling
the amount of the loans and interest due will, from time to
time as the Loan Balance changes, be transferred from the Fund
Accounts and the Fixed Account to the Loan Account. If
Certificate values are held in more than one Fund Account,
withdrawals from each Fund Account will be made in proportion
to the assets in each Fund Account at the time of the loan for
transfer to the Loan Account, unless the Company is instructed
otherwise in writing at the Customer Service Center.
In the event of surrender, lapse, death of the Insured, or any
other event resulting in termination of the Certificate, the
Loan Account Value will revert to the Company in repayment of
the Loan Balance. To the extent that the Current Outstanding
Loan Balance
<PAGE> 27
exceeds the Loan Account Value, such excess will reduce the
payment of any proceeds under the Certificate.
The Company will credit interest on the Loan Account Value at
a rate which will be not less than 6%.
Upon repayment of all or any portion of a loan, and
corresponding reduction of the Loan Balance, funds no longer
required to be in the Loan Account will be allocated among the
Fund Accounts according to current Net Premium Payment
allocations.
(b) Furnish a brief description of any procedure or arrangement by
which loans are made available to security holders by the
depositor, principal underwriter, trustee or custodian, or any
affiliated person of the foregoing. The following items

arrangements with security holders.
(2) The rate of interest payable on such loans.
(3) The period for which loans may be made.
(4) Costs or charges for default in repayment at maturity.
(5) Other material provisions of the agreement or
arrangement.
The portion of a Certificate loan attributable to the Fund
Accounts will normally be paid within seven days after receipt
of written request. The Company may postpone payment of any
such policy loan whenever: (i) the New York Stock Exchange is
closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or
trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
determined by the Commission; (ii) the Commission by order
permits postponement for the protection of Owners; (iii) an
emergency exists, as determined by the Commission, as a result
of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable
or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of
any Fund Account's net assets. In addition, the Company may
delay the payment of policy loans secured by the Cash Value
that the Owner paid by check until such time as the check has
cleared the issuing bank.
(c) If such loans are made, furnish the aggregate amount of loans
outstanding at the end of the last fiscal year, the amount of
interest collected during the last fiscal year allocated to
the depositor, principal underwriter,

the end of the last fiscal year covered by financial
statements filed herewith.
Not applicable.

with respect to limitations on the liabilities of the depositor,
trustee or custodian, or any other party to such indenture or
agreement.

or agreement concerning the trust or its securities and a description
of any other material functions or duties of the depositor, trustee or
custodian not stated in Item 10 or Items 14 to 23 inclusive.
Incontestability. The Company will not contest payment of the death
proceeds based on the initial Coverage Amount after it has been in
force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the issue
date. A new two year contestability period will apply to each
increase in specified amount beginning on the effective date of each
such increase and will apply to material misrepresentations made in
the application for the increase. If the Policy is reinstated, a new
two year contestability period (apart from any remaining
contestability period) will apply from date of the application for
reinstatement and will apply only to statements made in the
application for reinstatement.
Suicide. If the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within
two years from the issue date, the only benefit paid will be the sum
of: (a) premiums paid, minus the amount of any partial surrenders,
minus any outstanding loan balance plus interest. If the Insured,
while sane or insane, commits suicide within two years after the
effective date of any increase in insurance or any reinstatement, the
Company's total liability with respect to such increase or
reinstatement will be a refund of the monthly charges for its cost of
insurance.
Misstatement of Age. If the age of the Insured is misstated, the
Death Benefit will be adjusted based on what
<PAGE> 29
the most recent Monthly Deduction would have purchased based on the
correct age.

of valuation used by the trust for purpose of determining the
offering price to the public of
<PAGE> 38
securities issued by the trust or the valuation of shares or
interest in the underlying securities acquired by the
holder of a periodic payment plan certificate:
(1) The source of quotations used to determine the value
of portfolio securities.
Each Fund Account's Variable Accumulation Unit values
are based on the net asset value of the shares of the
underlying Fund for that Fund Account as supplied to
the Company by the Fund or its agent.
(2) Whether opening, closing, bid, asked or any other
price is used.
The value of Variable Accumulation Units purchased on
any day before the close of the New York Stock
Exchange on that day will be determined based on the

other time.

including accrual for expenses and taxes (including
taxes on unrealized appreciation).

as charges against the Separate Account) are valued

principles on an accrual basis. The Company does not
currently intend to create a reserve for its federal
income taxes.
(5) Other items which registrant adds to the net asset
value in computing offering price of its securities.
The charge for mortality and expense risks is
included in the calculation for determining the value
of Variable Accumulation Units. The charge is added
on a daily basis and is determined at a rate not to
exceed an effective annual rate of 0.90%
(6) Whether adjustments are made for fractions:
<PAGE> 39
(i) before adding distributor's compensation
(load); and
(ii) after adding distributor's compensation
(load).
Distributor's compensation is not used in calculating
the Variable Accumulation Unit Value from day to day.
Any payments made for distribution expenses are made
from the General Account of the Company and are not
charged to the Fund Accounts. Appropriate
adjustments will be made for fractions in all
computations.
(b) Furnish a specimen schedule showing the components of the
offering price of the trust's securities as the latest
practicable date.
No Policies have yet been offered for sale to the public.
(c) If there is any variation in the offering price of the trust's
securities to any person or classes of persons other than
underwriters, state the nature and amount of such variation
and indicate the person or classes of persons to whom such
offering is made.
The Company does not require a premium payment of a fixed
amount at fixed intervals for a specified time period. An
Owner may, subject to the limitations set forth in Item 10(i),
pay premiums at any frequency in any amount. Nonetheless,
Owners will need to pay sufficient premiums to maintain
adequate Net Cash Value to pay monthly charges, including the
cost of insurance. The cost of insurance will vary, depending
upon the Insured's attained age, the type of benefit, the size
and type of group, the Eligible Class of Insured, experience
and persistency of the group, federal and state taxes, rating
classes, expectations due to future mortality, and whether
premiums for that Insured are paid directly to the Company or
through payroll deductions.

the redemption rights of the securities issued by the trust during the
three fiscal years covered by the financial statements filed herewith.

the Customer Service Center.

for determining other assets and liabilities
including accrual for expenses and taxes (including
taxes on unrealized appreciation).
See Item 44(a)(4) and 18(c).
(5) Other items which registrant deducts from the net
asset value in computing redemption value of its
securities:

decimal shares.

Purchase and Sale of Interests in Underlying
Securities from and to Security Holders.
47. Furnish a statement as to the procedure with respect to the
maintenance of a position in the underlying securities or interests in
the underlying securities, the extent and
<PAGE> 41
nature thereof and the person who maintains such a position. Include
a description of the procedure with respect to the purchase of
underlying securities or interests in underlying securities from
security holders who exercise redemption or withdrawal rights and the
sale of such underlying securities and interests in the underlying
securities to other security holders. State whether the method of
valuation of such underlying securities or interests in underlying
securities differs from that set forth in Items 44 and 46. If any
item of expenditure included in the determination of the valuation is
not or may not actually be incurred or expended, explain the nature of
such item and who may benefit from the transaction.
Net Premium Payments allocated to a Fund Account will purchase
Variable Accumulation Units in that Fund Account. The funds used to
purchase those Variable Accumulation Units will be held in the
Separate Account as funds of the Company. The Separate Account's
funds will be invested in shares of the underlying Funds in direct
relation to the amounts of Variable Accumulation Units in the various
Fund Accounts outstanding to all Owners. Shares of the Funds are
currently sold only to the Company and to other life insurance
companies to support their obligations under variable annuity and
variable life insurance contracts and are not sold directly to the
general public. The Company may redeem sufficient shares of the
appropriate Fund to pay death benefits, benefits at maturity, or
surrender proceeds, or for other purposes contemplated by the
Policies. In addition, if an Owner elects to transfer Cash Value
among the Fund Accounts, the Company may redeem shares held in any
Fund Account from which a transfer is made and purchase shares for any
Fund Account into which Cash Value is transferred. See Item 10(c).

variable portion of the Policy.

The Policy is a group variable universal life insurance policy.

converted to a permanent life insurance policy with death
benefits that do not vary based on the performance of a
Separate Account. The Policies are issued on an individual
basis.
(c) The types of risks Insured and excluded.
<PAGE> 43
The Policies provide coverage for death and, in some cases,

expenses may be inadequate.
(d) The coverage of the Policies.
See Paragraph (c) of the Item. The minimum specified amount
is $10,000 (for spouses, 50% of the Employee Coverage Amount

by any outstanding indebtedness and any due and unpaid charges
and any Advanced Payment Benefit paid under the Certificate
and increased by any unearned loan interest.
(e) The Beneficiaries of such Policies and the uses to which the
proceeds of Policies must be put.
The recipient of the benefits of the insurance undertakings
described in Item 51(c) is either the Owner or the beneficiary
designated by the Owner under a Policy. There are no
restrictions on the use of the proceeds other than those
established by an Owner.
(f) The terms and manners of cancellation and of reinstatement:
TERMINATION
The Policy may be terminated by the Group Policyholder or the

Availability of continuation in the Policy will be agreed upon
between the Group Policyholder and the Company before coverage
under the Policy is offered to
<PAGE> 44
eligible persons. Continuation may be available in any
combination of the following circumstances, except that
continuation will always be available for Owners who have a Net
Cash Value equal to or greater than $250.
(1) When an Insured ceases to qualify for the class in
which he is Insured, he may continue if he becomes
eligible under a different eligibility class
immediately, according to the following schedule:
<TABLE>

CLASS CLASS
------------------------- -------------------------
<S> <C>
Employee Retiree

Spouse Former Spouse
Dependent Child Former Dependent Child
</TABLE>
(2) When the Policy is terminated, and no life insurance
coverage is offered in replacement of the Policy, the
Owner may continue the coverage under the Policy for
any Insured Class. If coverage is available under a
replacement plan of life insurance, the Owner may not
continue this coverage.
(3) If the above provisions do not provide for the
continuation of coverage under the Policy, but the
Certificate has a Net Cash Value of $250 or greater,
then coverage under the Certificate may be continued.
Continuation is not available for coverage which has lapsed or
been surrendered.
CONVERSION
Except for coverage which is lapsed or surrendered, coverage
which terminates and is not continued under the continuation
section of the Policy may be converted to an individual policy
of permanent life insurance.
Coverage converted because of the loss of eligibility of the
Insured may not exceed the amount the Insured had in force
under the Certificate at the time the Insured became
ineligible. Coverage converted because the Policy terminated
may be converted only if the
<PAGE> 45
coverage has been in force for 3 years or more, and the
maximum amount of coverage which may be converted upon Policy
termination is $10,000. Converted coverage will contain only
life insurance benefits and not the additional benefits
available under the Policy.
REINSTATEMENT
Coverage which has lapsed may be reinstated within three (3)
years of the date of lapse, provided the Certificate has not
been surrendered. The Owner must make a written request for
reinstatement, submit a new application form, provide evidence
of good health satisfactory to the Company at the Owner's
expense, pay premiums equal to two (2) times the Monthly
Deduction, and pay any Current Outstanding Loan Balance plus
interest accrued from the date of Lapse.

The Company does not initially expect to incur any income tax
upon the earnings or the realized gains attributable to the

create a reserve for its federal income taxes attributable to
the Separate Account. If, however, the Company determines
that it may incur such taxes, it may assess a charge for those
taxes from the Separate Account.
Under current laws the Company may incur state and local taxes
(in addition to premium taxes) in several states, and will
incur certain federal tax liabilities in connection with the
Policies. The premium load of 3% is intended to defray such
obligations.

PREMIUM PROVISIONS
PAYMENT OF POLICY PREMIUM. The total premium payable by the Policyholder under
the Policy will be the sum of all amounts payroll deducted as Premium for the
Policy each month and payroll deduction services for collection of all premium
contributed by Employees. The first premium will be due on the Policy
Effective Date. After that, premiums will be due on the first day of each
month, unless the Policyholder and the Company agree on some other method of
premium payment from time to time. The premiums are payable at the designated
Customer Service Center and will be deemed received only when an accurate
reconciliation is received, two business days prior to the receipt of the
premium, and the premium is actually received at the Customer Service Center or
when wire transferred into a bank account established by the Company for
receipt of premium under this Policy.
If any premium is not paid when due, the Policy will be cancelled as of the
date the premium is due, except as provided in the Grace Period section.
GRACE PERIOD. A Grace Period of 61 days will be granted for the payment of the
payroll deducted premium under the Policy. The Policy will be in force during
that Grace Period. If such premium is not paid in the Grace Period, the Policy
will cease at the end of that period. The Policy will cease before that date
if the Policyholder gives written notice of cancellation in advance to the
Company. When the Policy ceases, the Policyholder will be liable to the
Company for all premiums past due.

riders, and the applications, if any, of the Insureds.
POLICY CHANGES. Changes may be made in the Policy only by amendment, signed by
the Policyholder and by the Company acting through its President or Director.
No agent may change or waive any terms of the Policy.
INSURANCE DATA. The Policyholder will give the Company all of the data that it
needs to calculate the premium and all other data that it may reasonably
require. Failure of the Policyholder to give this data will not void or
discontinue an Insured's insurance. The Company has the right to examine the
Policyholder's records relative to these benefits at any reasonable time while
the Policy is in effect, and maintains this right until all rights and
obligations under the Policy are finally fulfilled.
STATEMENTS NOT WARRANTIES. All statements made by the Policyholder or by an
applicant will, in the absence of fraud, be deemed representations and not
warranties. No statement made by the Policyholder or by the applicant to
obtain insurance will be used to void or reduce the insurance unless it is made
in writing, and is signed by the Policyholder or the applicant and a copy is
sent to the Policyholder, the applicant or his Beneficiary.
CLERICAL ERROR. An Insured's coverage will not be affected by error or delay
in keeping records of insurance under this Policy. If such an error or delay
is found, the premium will be adjusted fairly.
CERTIFICATES. The Company will issue a Certificate to each Owner. The
Certificate will show the benefits provided under this Policy. It will set
forth any changes in benefits due to age and to whom benefits will be paid.
CONFORMITY WITH STATE STATUTES. Any provision of this Policy which, as of its

Guaranteed Issue Amount prior to written acceptance by the Company will be
held in the Fixed Account until the excess coverage is accepted or declined.
If the excess coverage is accepted, the Net Premiums will be allocated as
provided for in the Allocation of Net Premium Payments provision during
the next Valuation Period after the Company accepts the excess coverage.
If the coverage is declined, the premiums will be returned without interest
and less any Partial Surrenders and Loans plus accrued interest.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM AMOUNTS OF COVERAGE
The Coverage Amount for an Insured may not, at any time, be
less than [$10,000]. The Coverage Amount for an Insured Spouse or an
Insured Former Spouse may not be less than [$10,000 or 50% of the Insured
Employee's Coverage Amount if the Insured Employee's Coverage Amount is less
than $20,000]. The sum of the Coverage Amount, any Paid-up Insurance for
the [Insured Employee, or Former Insured Employee, or Retiree, or a Leave of
Absence Employee], and any insurance continued or converted under a Replaced
Policy may not at any time exceed the lesser of [X] times the Employee's
Annual Compensation or [$1,000,000]. [The sum of the Coverage Amount, any
Paid-up Insurance for the Insured Spouse, or Former Insured Spouse and any
insurance continued or converted under a Replaced Policy may not at any time
exceed an amount equal to: (a) 3 times the Employee's Annual Compensation;
or (b) $100,000, whichever is less. The sum of the Coverage Amount and the
Paid-up Insurance for a Former Insured Dependent Child may not, at any time,
exceed $50,000. ]

CHANGES IN COVERAGE AMOUNT
[AUTOMATIC INCREASE FEATURE
If an Insured Employee is covered for the Automatic Increase Feature:
- his Coverage Amount will be increased on the Policy Anniversary Date
in order to maintain his elected multiple of his Annual Compensation;
- he will not be required to satisfy the Insurability Requirement for
the increased amount, provided he is in Active Service; and
- the increase amount will be limited to [$,%!] per increase.
When an eligible Employee becomes insured, he [will/may elect to] be
enrolled for the Automatic Increase Feature [unless it is rejected.]
If an Insured Employee is not enrolled for the Automatic Increase Feature
when he first becomes insured, or if the feature is elected and later
revoked, the feature may be elected at a later date. If the feature is
elected at a later date, the Insured Employee must satisfy the Insurability
Requirement before he is enrolled for the feature.
[For purposes of the Automatic Increase Feature, Annual Compensation does
not include commissions.] ]
INCREASES IN COVERAGE AMOUNT
On any date while an Insured is covered, the Owner may elect to:
- increase the Coverage Amount based on a higher multiple of the
Insured Employee's Annual Compensation; or
- increase the Insured Employee's Coverage Amount based on an increase
in his Annual Compensation[; or
- increase the Coverage Amount of an Insured Spouse, Insured Dependent
Child, Former Insured Dependent Child, Former Insured
Employee, Former Insured Spouse, or Retiree].
However, the Insured will become covered for the elected higher Coverage
Amount only if he satisfies the Insurability Requirement for that amount
[unless the Insurability Requirement is otherwise not applicable under the
Automatic Increase Feature]. The effective date of the increase will be the
day the Company agrees in writing to accept the Insured for the higher
Coverage Amount.
[Within 31 days following a Life Status Change, an election may be made to
increase the Insured Employee's Coverage Amount by [one times the Employee's
Annual Compensation], without evidence of insurability. ]

<PAGE> 20
CHANGES IN COVERAGE AMOUNT
INCREASES IN COVERAGE AMOUNT (CONTINUED)
[The Guaranteed Issue Amount applies only to initial enrollment. Unless an
increase in coverage is exempted from the Insurability Requirement under the
Automatic Increase Feature or, in the case of an increase of [one times the
Employee's Annual Compensation] within 31 days following a Life Status
Change, that increase in coverage will require evidence of insurability
acceptable to the Company, regardless of whether the proposed new Coverage
Amount exceeds the Guaranteed Issue Amount, if any. ]
If an Insured Employee is not in Active Service on the date he would
otherwise become insured for an increased Coverage Amount, he will become
insured for the increase on the date he returns to Active Service. If he
does not return to Active Service within 90 days from the date the Company
agrees in writing to accept him for the higher Coverage Amount, he must
again satisfy the Insurability Requirement.
If, on the date [an Insured Spouse, Former Insured Employee, Former Insured
Spouse, Former Insured Dependent Child, or Retiree] would otherwise become
insured for an increased Coverage Amount: (a) he is hospitalized; and/or
(b) he is unable to engage in the normal activities of a person of the same
age and sex, he will become insured for the increase on the day after the
conditions described under (a) and/or (b) have ended. If all of these
conditions have not ended within 90 days from the date the Company agrees in
writing to accept him for the higher Coverage Amount, he must again satisfy
the Insurability Requirement.
DECREASES IN COVERAGE AMOUNT
The Owner may decrease the Coverage Amount at any time by notifying the
Company. The decrease in Coverage Amount will become effective on the first
of the month after written notice has been received by the Company. The
Company may refuse any decrease in an Insured's Coverage Amount if the
Company has determined that such change would adversely affect the Policy's
or the Certificate's qualification as a life insurance contract under the
Internal Revenue Code. Decreases in the Coverage Amount will apply first to
the most recent increase in Coverage Amount, then to successively earlier
increases, then to the initially elected Coverage Amount.
PREMIUMS HELD PENDING ACCEPTANCE OF COVERAGE AMOUNT
Premiums paid for any amount of coverage for which the Insurability
Requirement must be satisfied will be held in the Fixed Account until the
coverage is accepted or declined by the Company in writing. If the coverage
is accepted, the Net Premium Payment will be allocated as provided for in
the Allocation of premium payments provision. If the coverage is declined,
the premium for that coverage will be returned without interest and less any
partial surrenders and loans plus accrued interest.
MAXIMUMS AND MINIMUMS
All changes in Coverage Amounts are subject to the Maximum and Minimum
Coverage Amounts as set forth in The Schedule.

<PAGE> 21
CHANGES IN COVERAGE AMOUNT (CONTINUED)
INCREASES DUE TO MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS
If the Cash Value increases solely as a result of increases in Variable
Accumulation Unit Value and/or interest credited to the Fixed Account, and
the Company determines that, as a result of such increase, the Death Benefit
must be increased to preserve the qualification of the Policy and the
Certificate as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code, evidence of
insurability shall not be required for such increase.
If, however, the Cash Value increases for any other reason, and the Company
determines that as a result of such increase, the Death Benefit must be
increased to preserve the qualification of the Policy or the Certificate as
life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code, evidence of insurability
will be required for such increase.
In any event, the Owner may decline the increase of the Coverage Amount if
he withdraws at least an amount of Cash Value which the Company determines
will avoid having the Policy or Certificate fail to qualify as life
insurance under the Internal Revenue Code for the foreseeable future.

Value, if any; or
- an amount that, as determined by the Company, is
required to preserve the qualification of the Policy as a life
insurance policy under the Internal Revenue Code less any Current
Outstanding Loan Balance.
The Death Benefit will be reduced by any accelerated payment benefit
previously paid under the Policy and by any amounts due the Company under

PREMIUM PAYMENTS
PREMIUMS
Premiums may be paid on a periodic or a lump-sum basis. If the Insured or
Owner is an Employee, premium payments may be paid through payroll
deduction. In all other cases, premiums will be paid directly to the
Company and will be billed by the Company on a quarterly, semi-annual, or
annual basis. Premium shall be considered received under the Policy only
when actually received by the Company at its own offices or at the offices
of the Customer Service Center designated in the Coverage Verification
Pages, and not when received by the Policyholder, Employer, or any other
agent, broker, or third party administrator. Premiums may not exceed an
amount that, in the Company's opinion, is required to preserve the
qualification of the Policy and/or Certificate as a life insurance contract
under the Internal Revenue Code without regard to the Minimum Death Benefit
provision, and/or to prevent the Policy and/or Certificate from being
treated as a Modified Endowment Contract under the Internal Revenue Code.
(See Qualification under Internal Revenue Code section.)
The first premium payment will be due on the Certificate Effective Date.
Lump sum premiums must be at least [$25.00] each.
Unless otherwise specified by the Owner, if there is any indebtedness, any
lump sum payments made on the Policy will be used first as a Loan repayment
with any excess treated as lump sum premium payments.
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUM PAYMENTS
Net premium payments shall be allocated to the Fixed Account and/or to the
Fund Accounts as directed by the Owner, subject to the Limits on Allocation
of Net Premium Payments provision set forth below. The Net Premium Payment
associated with the initial premium payment will be allocated in accordance
with the allocation percentages specified in the application, within three
business days of the later of expiration of the 30-Day Right to Examine
period, the Effective Date of Coverage, the Company's written acceptance of
coverage in excess of the Guaranteed Issue amount, or the date the premium
is actually received by the Company. Subsequent Net Premium Payments will
be allocated on the same basis as the most recent previous Net Premium
Payment unless the Company is otherwise instructed in writing to change the
allocation percentages. A change in the allocation percentages may be made
by telephone if such telephone changes have previously been authorized in
writing. The Company will not be legally responsible for: (a) any liability
if acting in good faith upon any change in allocation instructions given by
telephone; or (b) for the authenticity of such instructions. If the Owner
has not directed the Company as to allocation of Net Premium Payments, all
Net Premium Payments will be allocated to the Fixed Account.
LIMITS ON ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUM PAYMENTS
There is no minimum allocation percentage to the Fixed Account or a Fund
Account; however, all allocations must be made in 5% increments and in
aggregate must total 100%. Premium payments will be allocated net of the
Premium Load for Taxes specified in the Coverage Verification Pages.
23
<PAGE> 30
PREMIUM PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)
INTERRUPTIONS OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS
If the Owner ceases to pay (or have paid) the periodic premium payments or
lump sum premiums, the insurance will remain in force, subject to the terms
and conditions of the Policy, by continuing to deduct the Monthly Deduction
from the Cash Value. The insurance will remain in force, subject to the
terms and conditions of the Policy, until the Net Cash Value is insufficient
to cover the Monthly Deduction, as provided in the Lapse and Grace Period
for Insured provisions.
GRACE PERIOD FOR INSURED
If the Net Cash Value for any Insured on the date that a Monthly Deduction
is due is less than the required Monthly Deduction, a Grace Period for
Insured of at least 61 days will be granted to the Owner to pay a premium
sufficient to cover the required Monthly Deductions for the next premium
payment period. If such premium is not paid within the Grace Period for
Insured, the coverage will Lapse without value at the end of the Grace
Period for Insured.
At least 61 days before the end of the Grace Period for Insured, the Company
will notify the Owner that there is insufficient Net Cash Value to cover the
next Monthly Deduction. Failure to give notice will not extend the Death
Benefit beyond the grace period. If the Insured dies during the Grace
Period for Insured, the Company will deduct any overdue Monthly Deduction
from the Death Benefit payable.
24
<PAGE> 31
FUND ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND FUND ACCOUNTS
Assets accumulated by the Company under the Policy and other variable life
insurance policies on a variable basis are held in the Separate Account
designated in the Coverage Verification Pages. The Separate Account was
established by a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors as a
separate account under the governing laws of Connecticut, the Company's
state of domicile, and registered as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"). Under Connecticut law, the
Separate Account assets (except assets in excess of its reserves and other
contractual liabilities) cannot be charged with the general liabilities of
the Company. The Separate Account assets are owned and controlled
exclusively by the Company, and the Company is not a trustee with respect to
these assets.
The Separate Account's assets are invested in shares of Funds made available
as funding vehicles under the Policy. For each Fund that is offered as a
funding vehicle, the Company maintains Variable Accumulation Units whose
values reflect the investment performance of the Fund.
Each Fund Account Value under this Certificate reflects the aggregate number
of Variable Accumulation Units for the Related Fund purchased by the Owner.
Variable Accumulation Units are purchased by the Owner through allocation of
Net Premium Payments, or transfer of Fixed, Loan, or other Fund Account
Values to the Fund Account. Variable Accumulation Units for different Funds
will have different values due to the differing investment performances of
the Funds.
The Company reserves the right to take certain actions in connection with
the operation of the Separate Account. Any such actions will be taken in
accordance with applicable laws (including obtaining any required regulatory
approvals). Specifically, the Company reserves the right to:
- add, combine, or remove any Fund Account,
- create new Separate Accounts,
- combine the Separate Account with one or more other separate
accounts,
- operate the Separate Account as a management investment
company under the Act or in any other form permitted by law,
- deregister the Separate Account under the Act,
- manage the Separate Account under the direction of a committee
or discharge such committee at any time,
- transfer any assets in any Fund Account to another Fund Account,
or to one or more separate accounts or to our general account, and
- to take any actions necessary to comply with, or to obtain and
continue any exemptions from, the Act.
The assets of the Separate Account shall be valued as often as policy
benefits vary, but no less often than monthly.
INVESTMENT RISK
Each Fund Account's value is always determined by the number and value of
the Variable Accumulation Units for the Related Fund held by the Owner under
the Certificate. The change in value of the Variable Accumulation Units for
each Fund is always determined by the Fund's share values, the per share
mortality and expense charges under the Policy, and the per share charges or
credits for taxes attributable to the operation of the Separate Account.
Fund Share values may vary reflecting the risks of changing economic
conditions and the ability of a Fund's investment adviser to manage that
Fund and anticipate changes in economic conditions. The Owner bears the
entire investment risk of gain or loss of Fund Account assets.
25
<PAGE> 32
FUND ACCOUNT PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)
INVESTMENTS OF THE FUND ACCOUNT ASSETS
All amounts allocated to a Fund Account will be used to purchase Variable
Accumulation Units for the Related Fund. Each Fund is registered and
regulated under the Act as an open-end management investment company or a
portfolio of an open-end management investment company.
All Funds available as funding vehicles under the Policy as of the
Certificate Effective Date are listed in the application for the Certificate
and in the Coverage Verification Pages. The Company may add or delete Funds
at any time or may change Funds in accordance with the Substitution or
Elimination of Securities provision.
Any and all distributions made by a Fund will be reinvested in additional
shares of that Fund at the then current net asset value. Deductions by the
Company from a Fund Account for taxes attributable to operation of the
Separate Account and for mortality and expense charges will be made by
redeeming a number of Fund shares at the then current net asset value equal
in total value to the amount to be deducted. Such reinvestment and
deductions will affect the value, but not the number, of the Variable
Accumulation Units for the Related Fund held by the Owner in the Fund
Account.
SUBSTITUTION OR ELIMINATION OF SECURITIES
Shares of a particular Fund may not always be available for purchase or the
Company may decide that further investment in a Fund is no longer
appropriate in view of the purposes of the Separate Account or in view of
legal, regulatory or federal income tax restrictions. In such event, shares
of another registered open-end investment company or unit investment trust
may be substituted both for Fund shares already purchased and/or for
purchase in the future, provided that these substitutions meet applicable
Internal Revenue Service diversification guidelines and any necessary
regulatory or other approvals of such substitutions have been obtained. In
the event of any substitution pursuant to this provision, the Company may
make appropriate amendment(s) to the Policy to reflect the substitution.
26
<PAGE> 33
FUND ACCOUNT PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)
TRANSFER PRIVILEGE
At any time while the Policy is in effect, other than during the 30-Day
Right to Examine period, the Owner may transfer all or part of the Fund
Account Values to the Fixed Account and/or to one or more of the Fund
Accounts then available under the Policy. The Owner may transfer part of
the Fixed Account Value to one or more Fund Accounts, subject to the
provisions set forth below. Transfers may be made in writing, or by
telephone if telephone transfers have been previously authorized in writing.
Transfer requests must be received at the Customer Service Center prior to
the time of day set forth in the prospectus on a day on which the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business, in order to be processed as
of the close of business on the date the request is received; otherwise, the
transfer will be processed on the next business day the NYSE is open for
business. The Company will not be legally responsible for: (a) any
liability if acting in good faith upon any transfer instructions given by
telephone; or (b) for the authenticity of such instructions.
27
<PAGE> 34
FUND ACCOUNT PROVISIONS
TRANSFER PRIVILEGE (CONTINUED)
Transfers involving Fund Accounts will reflect the purchase or cancellation
of Variable Accumulation Units having an aggregate value equal to the dollar
amount being transferred to or from a particular Fund Account. The purchase
or cancellation of such units shall be made using Variable Accumulation Unit
Values of the applicable Fund Account determined as of the end of the
Valuation Period in which the transfer is effective. Transfers to the
Fixed Account will earn interest as specified under the Fixed Account Value
provision.
Unless otherwise changed by the Company to be less restrictive, transfers
shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) Up to [12] transfers may
be made during any Policy Year without charge; however, for each transfer in
excess of [12], a transfer fee as set forth in the Coverage Verification
Pages will be deducted on a pro rata basis from the Fixed Account and/or
Fund Accounts from which the transfer is being made; (b) No Partial
Surrender transaction fee will be imposed as a result of the transfer; (c)
The amount being transferred may not be less than [$250] unless the entire
value of a Fund Account is being transferred; (d) The amount being
transferred may not exceed the Company's maximum amount limit then in
effect; (e) Transfers among the Fund Accounts or from a Fund Account to the
Fixed Account can be made at any time; (f) Transfers from the Fixed Account
are subject to the Limits on Transfers provision as set forth below; (g) Any
value remaining in the Fixed Account or a Fund Account following a transfer
may not be less than [$250]; (h) Transfers involving Fund Account(s) shall
be subject to such additional terms and conditions as may be imposed by the
Funds.
Any transfer made which causes the remaining aggregate value of Variable
Accumulation Units for a Fund Account to be less than $250 will result in
those remaining Variable Accumulation Units being transferred as a part of
the requested transfer.
LIMITS ON TRANSFERS
Transfers from the Fixed Account may only be made during the 30-day period
following each Policy Anniversary Date and are subject to a maximum
aggregate annual limit of [25%] of the Fixed Account Value as of that Policy
Anniversary Date. Additionally, the Company has the right to limit the
dollar amount of such transfers. Additional limitations on transfers are
set forth in the Transfer Privileges provision.

CERTIFICATE VALUE PROVISIONS
CASH VALUE
The Cash Value at the end of any day (after the NYSE closing time) equals:
a) The Fixed Account Value at the end of that day; plus
b) The Loan Account Value at the end of that day; plus
c) The sum of the Fund Account Values at the end of that day.
FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE
The Fixed Account Value at the end of the day preceding the Certificate
Effective Date is zero.
The Fixed Account Value at the end of any subsequent day equals:
a) The Fixed Account Value at the end of the preceding day; plus
b) All portions of Net Premium Payments allocated to the Fixed
Account during that day; plus
c) All amounts transferred into the Fixed Account from Fund Accounts
or the Loan Account; minus
d) All amounts charged to the Fixed Account during that day to pay
all or part of any Monthly Deductions due under this
Certificate; minus
e) All amounts transferred out of the Fixed Account during that day
for Surrenders, Partial Surrenders, Loans, or Fund Transfers;
minus
f) All amounts charged to the Fixed Account during that day to pay
all or part of any transaction fees or other charges due under
this Certificate; plus
g) Interest accrued on the sum of a) minus d) minus e) minus f).
Interest will accrue on the Fixed Account daily at a rate which will be the
greater of:
- 4% effective annual yield (.010746% compounded daily); or
- a rate determined by the Company from time to time.
Such rate will be established on a prospective basis.
The rate to be credited will be announced by the Company from time to time.
LOAN ACCOUNT VALUE
The Loan Account Value will be equal to the sum of all amounts transferred
into the Loan Account as provided for under this Certificate, plus interest
credited to the Loan Account daily at a rate which will produce an effective
annual yield of not less than 6%.
FUND ACCOUNT VALUE
Each Fund Account Value during any Valuation Period shall be determined by
multiplying the number of Variable Accumulation Units held in such Fund
Account under this Certificate at the end of the Valuation Period by the
Variable Accumulation Unit Value for that Fund Account during the Valuation
Period.

<PAGE> 36
CERTIFICATE VALUE PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)
CREDITING AND CANCELLING VARIABLE ACCUMULATION UNITS
The number of Variable Accumulation Units in a Fund Account will be
increased to reflect portions of Net Premium payments allocated to that Fund
Account and to reflect amounts transferred to that Fund Account from the
Fixed Account, the Loan Account, or from other Fund Accounts. The number of
Variable Accumulation Units in the Fund Account will be decreased to reflect
portions of the Monthly Deduction, Transaction Fees, or other charges which
are charged to a Fund Account as provided for in this Certificate. The
number of Variable Accumulation Units in a Fund Account will also be
decreased when funds are transferred out of the Fund Account for Surrenders,
Partial Surrenders, Loans, Fund Transfers, or such other transfers as are
provided for in this Certificate. The number of Variable Accumulation Units
to be credited or charged to a Fund Account is determined by dividing the
dollar amount credited or charged to the particular Fund Account by the
Variable Accumulation Unit Value for the particular Fund Account for the
Valuation Period during which the change in the number of Variable
Accumulation Units will occur.
VARIABLE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The Variable Accumulation Unit Value for each Fund Account was established
at $10.00 for the first Valuation Period of the particular Fund Account.
The Variable Accumulation Unit Value for that Fund Account for any
subsequent Valuation Period is determined by multiplying the Variable
Accumulation Unit Value for that Fund Account for the immediately preceding
Valuation Period by the Net Investment Factor for that Fund Account for the
current Valuation Period. The Variable Accumulation Unit Value may
increase, decrease or remain constant from Valuation Period to Valuation
Period.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The Net Investment Factor is an index applied to measure the investment
performance of a Fund Account from one Valuation Period to the next. The
Net Investment Factor may be greater or less than or equal to 1.0;
therefore, the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit may increase, decrease
or remain the same.
The Net Investment Factor for any Fund Account for any Valuation Period is
determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) from the result
where:
(a) is the net result of:
(1) the net asset value (as described in the prospectus for the Fund) of
a share of the Related Fund determined as of the end of the Valuation
Period; plus
(2) the per-share amount of any dividend or other distribution declared
by the Related Fund if the date occurs during the Valuation Period; plus
or minus
(3) a per-share credit or charge with respect to any taxes paid or
reserved for by the Company during the Valuation Period which are
determined by the Company to be attributable to the operation of the
Separate Account;
30
<PAGE> 37
CERTIFICATE VALUE PROVISIONS
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR (CONTINUED)
(b) is the net asset value of a share of the Related Fund determined as of
the end of the preceding Valuation Period; and
(c) is the asset charge determined by the Company for the Valuation Period
to reflect the charges for assuming the mortality and expense risks.
The asset charge factor for any Valuation Period is equal to the daily asset
charge rate multiplied by the number of 24-hour periods in the Valuation
Period multiplied by the Fund Account's value as of the end of the preceding
Valuation Period. The daily asset charge rate will be determined annually
by the Company, but in no event may it exceed the maximum specified in the
Coverage Verification Pages.
MONTHLY COST OF INSURANCE RATES
The Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates are based on the Insured's Attained
Age, the type of benefit, the size and type of group, gender mix of the
group, expectations of participation, the Eligible Class of Insured,
experience and persistency of the group, federal and state taxes, rating
classes, expectations due to future mortality, and whether premiums for that
Insured are paid directly to the Company or through payroll deductions.
Adjustments in the Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates may be made by the
Company from time to time, but not more than once a year, and will apply to
Insureds of the same Eligible Class. Under no circumstances will the
Monthly Cost of Insurance Rates for Life Insurance ever be greater than
those shown in the Table of Guaranteed Maximum Life Insurance Rates. Such
guaranteed maximum rates are based on 150% of the 1980 Commissioners
Standard Ordinary Male Mortality Table (age last birthday).
MONTHLY DEDUCTION
The Monthly Deduction will be due on the first of each calendar month and
will be deducted from the Fixed Account and the Fund Accounts. The Monthly
Deduction will be the sum of:
- the Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate for life insurance, based on the
Insured's Attained Age, multiplied by the Coverage Amount on that date;
and
- the Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate for additional benefits, if any,
multiplied by the Insured's Coverage Amount for each such additional
benefit; and
- the Monthly Cost of Insurance Rate for all Insured Dependent Children,
if Dependent Child coverage is elected, multiplied by the Insured
Dependent Child Coverage Amount; and
- the Monthly Administrative Fees as set forth in the Coverage Verification
Pages.
The Monthly Administrative Fees may be different for each Eligible Class of
Insureds. A Monthly Administrative Fee will be charged to each Certificate.
An additional Monthly Administrative Fee will be charged to each Certificate
with an accumulated Cash Value in any Fund Account. This additional Monthly
Administrative Fee will be waived for each month in which the Certificates'
Net Cash Value is greater than $10,000.
The Monthly Administrative Fees may change from time to time. The maximum
amounts of these Monthly Administrative Fees are set forth in the Coverage
Verification Pages.
The amount of the Monthly Deduction will be deducted from the Fixed Account
and each Fund Account in the same proportion that the value of each account
bears to the sum of the Fixed Account Value and the Fund Account Values as
of the date on which the deduction is made.
31
<PAGE> 38
CERTIFICATE VALUE PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)
NET CASH VALUE
The Net Cash Value at the end of any day (after the NYSE closing time)
equals:
a) the Cash Value at the end of that day; minus
b) the Current Outstanding Loan Balance at the end of that day.
The Current Outstanding Loan Balance equals the current Loan Balance plus
all interest accrued but not paid.
LAPSE (INSUFFICIENT NET CASH VALUE)
If the Net Cash Value on any date is insufficient to cover any due but
unpaid Monthly Deduction, the insurance for that person and any riders will
terminate at the end of the Grace Period for Insured. This termination will
be termed a Lapse under the Policy.
BASIS OF COMPUTATIONS
A detailed statement of the method of computing all values under this
Certificate will be filed with the insurance department of any jurisdiction
where required.

<PAGE> 39
SURRENDERS, LOANS AND REINSTATEMENT PROVISIONS
SURRENDER
The Owner may terminate his insurance and Surrender the Certificate at any
time by submitting a written request in a form acceptable to the Company
along with his Certificate, including the Coverage Verification Pages. Upon
Surrender, the Owner will receive the Net Cash Value as of the date of
Surrender, less any applicable Surrender fee and less any other amounts due
the Company under this Certificate.
The Company will charge a transaction fee as set forth in the Coverage
Verification Pages for Surrender and the transaction fee will be deducted
from the amount of the Surrender received by the Owner.
Payment of the proceeds of a Surrender is subject to the Deferment of
Payments provision of this Certificate.
PARTIAL SURRENDER
A Partial Surrender may be elected by the Owner on any day while this
Certificate is in effect by submitting a signed written request in a form
satisfactory to the Company. The amount of the Partial Surrender must be at
least [$250] and may not exceed 90% of the Net Cash Value at the time such
Partial Surrender is processed by the Company.
When a Partial Surrender is made, the amount of the Partial Surrender will
be deducted from the Fixed Account and the Fund Accounts. Unless the Company
and the Owner agree otherwise, the amount of the Partial Surrender will be
charged to the Fixed Account and the Fund Accounts in shares that reflect
the same proportion to the amount of the Partial Surrender as each of such
accounts bears to the sum of the Fixed Account Value and the Fund Account
Values.
The Company will charge a transaction fee as set forth in the Coverage
Verification Pages for each Partial Surrender and the Company reserves the
right to limit the number of Partial Surrenders in a 12-month period. The
transaction fee will be deducted from the amount of the Partial Surrender
received by the Owner.
Payment of Partial Surrender amounts is subject to the Deferment of Payments
provision of this Certificate.
LOAN PROVISIONS
Provided there is sufficient Net Cash Value as specified below, the Company
will grant a Loan against an Insured's Cash Value. The Owner will be
required to sign a proper Loan agreement, including an Assignment of the
Certificate to the Company, in a form approved by the Company, and such
other documents as may be required by the Company at the time. The Insured's
Cash Value will be the security for the Loan and for any accrued interest
not yet paid to the Company. The minimum Loan amount is [$250]; however, the
Company reserves the right to change this amount from time to time.
33
<PAGE> 40
SURRENDERS, LOANS AND REINSTATEMENT PROVISIONS
LOAN PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)
The Company will not grant a Loan in an amount that exceeds 90% of the Net
Cash Value at the time the Loan is processed. Further, the Company will not
grant a Loan which would require that the Loan Account Value be greater than
90% of the Cash Value.
The payment of the Loan amount is subject to the Deferment of Payment
provisions of this Certificate.
Interest will accrue daily on the Loan Balance at a rate which will produce
an effective annual yield of 8%. Accrued Loan interest is due and payable to
the Company on the Policy Anniversary Date or upon Surrender or termination
of the Certificate or as otherwise agreed by the Owner and the Company.
Interest which remains unpaid 30 days after it becomes due and payable will
be added to the Loan Balance as of the date upon which it was payable.
The Loan Balance shall equal, at any time, the sum of all Loans granted
under the Certificate, less any Loan repayments, plus all unpaid interest
added to the Loan Balance as described above.
The Current Outstanding Loan Balance shall equal the current Loan Balance
plus all interest accrued but not yet payable on the Loan Balance.
Unless otherwise agreed between the Owner and the Company, the amount of any
such Loan will be transferred into the Loan Account from the Fixed Account
and each of the Fund Accounts in amounts that reflect the same proportion to
the amount of the Loan as the value of each of such accounts bears to the
sum of the Fixed Account Value and the Fund Account Values. Additional
amounts will be transferred to the Loan Account as additional Loans are
made and as interest is added to the Loan Balance.
Upon Surrender, payment of the Death Benefit under the Certificate, or
termination of the Certificate for any other reason, the Loan Account will
be paid to the Company in repayment of the Current Outstanding Loan Balance.
To the extent the Current Outstanding Loan Balance exceeds the Loan Account
Value upon such Surrender, payment of the Death Benefit, or termination for
any other reason, the excess will be deducted from the Cash Value or reduce
the payment of proceeds under the Certificate.
The Current Outstanding Loan Balance may be repaid in full or in part at any
time during the lifetime of the Insured; however, the minimum Loan repayment
amount is [$25.00] or the amount of the Current Outstanding Loan Balance, if
less. The amount of any Loan repayment will be transferred from the Loan
Account into the Fixed Account and the Fund Accounts in the proportion in
which current Net Premium Payments are being allocated to those accounts,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Owner and the Company.

[CONVERSION PROVISIONS
CONVERSION PRIVILEGE
If all or part of the Coverage Amount for an Insured ends because the
Insured ceases to be a member of an Eligible Class, the Owner may convert up
to the amount of insurance which ends, less any amount which the Insured
becomes eligible to continue or replace under the Policy or under a
Successor Plan.
If coverage for an Insured ends because the Policy terminates and the
individual has been insured under the Policy for at least three years, the
Owner may convert up to [$10,000], less any amount which the Insured
becomes eligible to continue or replace under the Policy or under a
Successor Plan.
To convert, the Owner may apply for any type of life insurance currently
being issued by the Company at the age and in the amount applied for, except
that the new insurance may not:
- be term insurance; or
- contain disability or any other supplemental benefits.
To apply for conversion insurance, the Owner must, within 31 days after
coverage under the Policy ends:
- submit an application to the Company; and
- pay the required premium.
Conversion coverage will become effective on the 31st day after the date
coverage under the Policy ends, provided: (a) the application has been
received by the Company; and (b) the required premium has been paid.
Evidence of insurability will not be required for the converted amount.
Premium for the conversion insurance will be based on:
- the age and class of risk of the Insured; and
- the type and amount of coverage issued.
If the Insured dies during the 31-day conversion period, life insurance
benefits will be paid under the group Policy, regardless of whether he
applied for conversion insurance. If a conversion policy is issued, it will
replace coverage for that type and amount of insurance from the Policy.
EXTENSION OF CONVERSION PERIOD
If an Insured is eligible for conversion, and the Owner is not notified of
this right at least 15 days prior to the end of the 31-day conversion
period, the conversion period will be extended. The Owner will have 15 days
from the date notice is given to apply for conversion insurance. In no
event will the conversion period be extended beyond 60 days. Notice, for
the purposes of this section, means written notice presented to the Owner by
the Employer or mailed to the Owner's last known address as reported by the
Employer.
If the Insured dies during the extended conversion period, but more than 31

BENEFICIARY PROVISIONS
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
The Owner may designate a Beneficiary to whom the proceeds will be paid in
the event of death of the Insured. Upon the death of an Insured Dependent
Child, the Coverage Amount will be paid to the Owner of the Certificate
under which the Insured Dependent Child was covered unless otherwise
designated by the Owner.
If a Beneficiary dies before the Insured, that Beneficiary's interest will
end; such Beneficiary's share will be paid in equal shares to the other
Beneficiaries, if there are any. This does not apply if other arrangements
have been filed with the Company.
If there is no surviving Beneficiary or the Owner has not designated a
Beneficiary, benefits will be paid to the first surviving class of the
following classes of Beneficiaries:
- the Insured's Spouse; or
- the Insured's Child or Children; or
- the Insured's parents; or
- the Insured's siblings.
If there is no surviving member of any of the above classes, the benefits
will be paid to the Owner or Owner's estate. If the Beneficiary is a minor
or is not able to give valid receipt for any payment due him, such payment
will be made to his legal guardian.
Payment in the manner described above will release the Company from all
liability to the extent of any payment made.
CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY
The Owner may change the Beneficiary at any time without the consent of the
Beneficiary, unless the Beneficiary designation is irrevocable. Any change
must be made in writing in a form satisfactory to the Company and signed by
the Owner. Consent of the Beneficiary will not be required to effect any
changes other than an irrevocable Beneficiary designation.
No change in Beneficiary will take effect until this form is received by the
Company. When this form is received, the change will take effect as of the
date of the form. If the Insured dies before the form is received, the
Company's obligations under the Policy will be satisfied to the extent of
any payment that was made before receipt of the form.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE
If an Insured's age has been misstated, the Company will adjust all benefits
to the amounts that the cost of insurance deducted would have purchased for
the correct age, subject to the Qualification Under Internal Revenue Code
provision.
INCONTESTABILITY
The Company will not contest the validity of this insurance after it has
been in force for two years from the date of issue or Reinstatement, except
for nonpayment of premiums. No statement made by an Insured as to his
insurability will be used to contest the validity of the insurance after it
has been in force prior to the contest for a period of two years during the
Insured's lifetime. No statement made by an Insured will be used to contest
the validity of his coverage unless it is made in writing, signed by him and
a copy given to him or his Beneficiary. Any increase in the Coverage Amount
effective after an Insured first becomes insured or reinstates coverage will
be incontestable only after such increase has been in force for two years
during the Insured's lifetime. The basis for contesting an increase in the
Coverage Amount will be limited to material misrepresentations made in the
application for the increase.
ANNUAL CERTIFICATE REPORT
The Company will send a report to each Owner once a year to be attached to
the Certificate. The report will show the current Coverage Amount, the
Death Benefit, the Cash Value, and any Loan Balance. The report will also
show interest earned, gains and losses in the Fund Accounts, premiums paid
and any other information required by applicable laws.
PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS
Proceeds, as used in the Policy, means an amount payable:
- on the date an Owner Surrenders the Certificate; or
- upon the death of the Insured.
The proceeds payable upon receipt of due proof of an Insured's death will be
as described in the Death Benefit section. If an Insured dies as a direct
result of an accidental bodily injury, the proceeds may also include any
supplemental benefit, if available and elected.
If an Owner Surrenders the Certificate, the proceeds will be the Net Cash
Value less any applicable Surrender fee and less any other amounts due the
Company under this Certificate. The proceeds are subject to the adjustments
described in the Policy.
DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS
Amounts payable as a result of Loans, Surrenders, Partial Surrenders, or for
any other reason, will be paid upon receipt of such documentation as may be
required by the Company at the time. However, payment of amounts from the
Fund Accounts may be postponed when the NYSE is closed or when the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declares an emergency.
Additionally, the Company reserves the right to defer the payment of such
amounts from the Fixed Account for a period not to exceed 6 months from the
date written request is received by the Company. During any such deferred
period, the amount payable will bear interest as required by law.

<PAGE> 51
GENERAL PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)
SUICIDE
If an Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from
the date his insurance becomes effective, his Death Benefit will be limited
to a refund of the premiums paid, less: (a) any Current Outstanding Loan
Balance; and (b) the amount of any Partial Surrenders.
If an Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from
the effective date of any increase in the Insured's Coverage Amount, the
Death Benefit payment with respect to such increase will be limited to a
refund of the monthly charges for the cost of the increase.
QUALIFICATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
The Policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance policy under the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to never become a Modified Endowment
Contract, as defined in Section 7702A of the Code. The Company reserves the
right to: (a) limit or decline an Insured's payments; (b) limit or decline
Coverage Amount changes; (c) amend the Policy and Certificates; (d)
distribute Cash Value; or (e) take any other action it deems necessary to

WAIVER OF COST OF LIFE INSURANCE DURING TOTAL DISABILITY RIDER
This rider is made a part of the Policy/Certificate to which it is attached.
This rider takes effect on the Policy Effective Date unless a later date is
shown in the Coverage Verification Pages.
BENEFIT
If an Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee becomes Totally Disabled
(as defined) before age 60, his cost of life insurance, the Monthly
Administrative Fee, and the cost of insurance for his Insured Dependent
Child(ren)'s life insurance, for whom he has elected coverage and who are
covered under his Certificate, will be waived while he remains continuously
Totally Disabled. In addition, any cost of insurance deducted from his
Cash Value by the Company for his life insurance under this Certificate and
the life insurance for his Insured Dependent Child(ren), if any, on or
after the date he becomes Totally Disabled, will be refunded to the Owner.
No additional changes in coverage will be allowed after the Waiver is
approved by the Company.
PROOF OF LOSS
In order to qualify for the Waiver of Cost of Life Insurance, an Insured
Employee or Former Insured Employee must submit due proof that he has been
continuously Totally Disabled for [six] months or more. Such proof must be
submitted to the Company no later than one year from the date the Insured
Employee or Former Insured Employee becomes Totally Disabled. After his
cost of life insurance and the cost of life insurance for his Insured
Dependent Child(ren), if any, has been waived for one year, such cost of
life insurance will be waived for additional periods of one year if:
- he remains continuously Totally Disabled; and
- he submits to the Company, during the three months before the end
of each such one-year period, proof of the continuation of Total
Disability.
However, the Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee is required to pay
his cost of life insurance and the cost of life insurance for his Insured
Dependent Child(ren), if any, if such cost of life insurance:
- was due more than one year before the Company received proof of
his Total Disability; or
- was due but not yet paid if the Insured Employee or Former Insured
Employee becomes Totally Disabled during a Grace Period for
Insureds.
DEATH BENEFIT DURING WAIVER OF COST OF LIFE INSURANCE
If an Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee dies while his cost of
life insurance is being waived, the Death Benefit will be paid only if the
Company receives proof, within one year of his death, that his Total
Disability was continuous from the date we received the last proof of Total
Disability until the date he died.
The Death Benefit payable for an Insured Employee, Former Insured Employee,
or Insured Dependent Child(ren) will be the Coverage Amount determined from
The Schedule which was in effect on the day before the date the Insured
Employee or Former Insured Employee became Totally Disabled, plus the Net
Cash Value.
The Coverage Amount may not be increased while the cost of life insurance
is being waived.
<PAGE> 63
TOTAL DISABILITY OR TOTALLY DISABLED
An Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee will be considered Totally
Disabled when he is completely unable to engage in any occupation for wage
or profit because of injury or sickness.
At any time while an Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee's cost of
life insurance is being waived, the Company will have the right to require
proof of his continuing Total Disability and, at its own expense, to have a
Physician of its choice examine him. However, after he has been Totally
Disabled for two years, the Company will require proof no more than once a
year.
TERMINATION
This rider will cease for an Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee
and his Insured Dependent Child(ren) on the earliest of:
- the date the Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee is no
longer Totally Disabled; or
- the date the Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee refuses
to submit to any physical examination required by the Company; or
- the last day of any one-year period of Total Disability during
which the Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee fails to
give proof of continuous Total Disability; or
- the date the Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee attains
age 65; or
- the date the Certificate terminates.
An Insured Employee or Former Insured Employee whose Waiver of Cost of Life
Insurance ceases for himself and any Insured Dependent Child(ren) may
continue this insurance by paying the Monthly Deduction directly to the
Company, or through payroll deduction for an Insured Employee, or by having
adequate Cash Value to cover the Monthly Deduction.
For the purposes of this rider, an Insured Employee or Former Insured
Employee's cost of life insurance is deemed to include his Monthly
Administrative Fee.
This rider does not apply to any supplemental coverage, if elected, nor to
any insurance for an Insured Spouse, Former Insured Spouse, Former Insured
Dependent Child(ren), Retiree, or Leave of Absence Employee.

ELECTION OF OPTION
At any time after a Cash Value has accumulated under the Certificate, the

less applicable transaction fees, to purchase Paid-up Insurance.
Such Paid-up Insurance will be provided under a separate policy of life
insurance issued by the Company or an affiliate of the Company. Evidence
of good health will not be required for such Paid-up Insurance.
The amount of Paid-up Insurance will be determined by applying the

using the guaranteed maximum life insurance rates and the guaranteed
minimum interest rates at the Insured's then Attained Age. However, the
amount of Paid-up Insurance may not exceed an Insured's Coverage Amount in
force for him on the date of purchase.
The Paid-up Insurance will be payable as set forth in the payment
provisions in the Paid-up Insurance Policy.

AMENDATORY RIDER
This rider amends the Policy/Certificate to which it is attached by adding the
following provision:
FIXED BENEFIT EXCHANGE PROVISION
At any time during the eighteen month period beginning on the Certificate
Effective Date, the Owner may, without being required to provide evidence
of good health, exchange his Certificate of Insurance coverage under the
Policy for a Certificate of Insurance coverage under a group flexible
premium life insurance policy issued by the Company (the "Exchange
Policy"). Such coverage under the Exchange Policy will bear the same date
of issue and the same age at issue as the Certificate under this Policy
which is exchanged by the Owner. Premium rates for the Owner under the
Exchanged Policy will be the premium rates in effect under the Exchange
Policy on the date of exchange for the class into which the Insured falls
under the Exchange Policy. To the extent riders and incidental insurance
benefits included under the Policy are available under the Exchange Policy,
the Owner may elect such riders and incidental insurance benefits for his
Certificate of Insurance coverage under the Exchange Policy.
Any excess of the accrued premium under the Certificate under this Policy
over the corresponding accrued premium on the Exchange Policy will be
either applied as an advance premium or refunded in cash, or added to the
Cash Value under the Exchange Policy as the Company determines. Any
increase or decrease in Cash Value will be reflected in the Cash Value
under the Exchange Policy.
