             THE GROUP VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   This prospectus describes a group variable universal life insurance contract
("Policy") offered by Connecticut General Life Insurance Company ("the
Company").  The Policy is a group master contract entered into between a Group
Policyholder (an employer or a union) and the Company. Certain Employees
(employees or union members) as agreed upon between the Group Policyholder and
the Company, may become insured under the Policy. Employees who become insured
under the Policy will receive a Certificate of Insurance("Certificate")
describing their rights under the Policy. Employees may obtain life insurance
coverage for their spouses and dependent children as well.

   This Policy is intended to provide life insurance benefits. It provides for
a death benefit, flexible premium payments, a choice of underlying funding
options for the accumulation of cash value,  and a choice of additional benefit
options.  Its cash value will, and the death benefit may, vary with the
investment performance of the underlying funding options selected. Certificate
Cash Values may be used to continue the Certificate in force, may be borrowed
within certain limits, and may be fully or partially surrendered.  No sales
loads are charged under this Policy.

   The Company offers seven variable funding vehicles ("Funds")under the Policy
through the Separate Account.  Each Fund is a portfolio of a diversified
open-end management investment company (commonly called a mutual fund) and each
Fund has a different investment objective:

   -  CIGNA Variable Products Money Market Fund
   -  Fidelity VIP II Investment Grade Bond Portfolio
   -  Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Portfolio
   
   -  CIGNA Variable Products S&P 500 Index Fund
    
   -  Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio
   
   -  Twentieth Century TCI Growth
    
   -  Fidelity VIP Overseas Portfolio

   The fixed interest option offered under the Policy is the
<PAGE>   6
Fixed Account.  Amounts held in the Fixed Account are guaranteed and will earn
a minimum interest rate of 4% per year.  Unless specifically mentioned, this
prospectus only describes the variable investment options.

   It may not be advantageous to replace existing insurance or supplement an
existing variable universal life insurance policy with coverage under the
Policy.  This entire Prospectus, and those of the Funds, should be read
carefully to understand the Policy being offered.

THIS PROSPECTUS IS VALID ONLY WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY THE CURRENT PROSPECTUSES OF
THE MUTUAL FUNDS AVAILABLE AS FUNDING OPTIONS FOR THE POLICIES OFFERED BY THIS
PROSPECTUS.  ALL PROSPECTUSES SHOULD BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR
ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL
OFFENSE.

THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF, OR SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO
ACQUIRE, ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION IN THE GROUP VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE
INSURANCE POLICIES OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS IN ANY JURISDICTION TO ANYONE TO

HIGHLIGHTS
   
               The Policy is a group variable universal life insurance policy.
               The Policy will be sold to Group Policyholders (employers and
               unions) to make available life insurance coverage for their
               Employees (employees of the employer or members of the union).
               Employees who purchase coverage on their own lives will receive
               a Certificate of Insurance under the Policy. Employees may also
               be able to purchase a Certificate of Insurance under the Policy
               on the lives of their spouses. Term life insurance coverage on
               the lives of the dependent children of the Employee may be added
               as an additional benefit to the Certificate of Insurance on the
               Employee or the Certificate of Insurance on the spouse (but not
               both).
    

               Each Certificate may accumulate Cash Value on a fixed or a
               variable basis or on a combination of fixed and variable bases.
               (See Eligibility Section)

               The Policy's provisions may vary from state to state





                                       7
<PAGE>   13
               as required by state law.

               INITIAL CHOICES TO BE MADE

               When purchasing a Certificate under a Policy, the Owner makes
               three important choices:

               1)  Selecting the initial Coverage Amount;
               2)  Selecting the amount of premium payments to make; and
               3)  Selecting how Net Premium Payments will be allocated among
                   the available funding options.

               (See Coverage Amount and Premium Payment Sections)

               DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT

               At the time of purchase, the Certificate Owner (also called the
               "Owner" in this Prospectus) must choose the initial Coverage
               Amount.  The Coverage Amount may be changed from time to time by
               the Owner.  The Death Benefit will be the Coverage Amount plus
               the Net Cash Value less any amounts due the Company under the
               Certificate.  The Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of
               any Advanced Payment Benefit made under the Policy.  The amount
               payable will be determined as of the date of the Insured's death
               based on investment  performance and any changes made by the
               Owner.  (See Death Benefit Section)

               AMOUNT OF PREMIUM PAYMENT

               At the time of purchase, the Owner must also choose the amount
               of premium to be paid.  The Owner may vary premium payments to
               some extent and still keep the Certificate in force.  Premium
               reminder notices will be sent for premiums required to continue
               the Certificate in force.  If the Certificate lapses it may be
               reinstated. (See "Reinstatement of a Lapsed Certificate".)


               SELECTION OF FUNDING VEHICLE(S)

               The Owner must choose how to allocate Net Premium Payments.  Net
               Premium Payments may be allocated, in any combination, to one or
               more Fund Accounts, each of which varies in value based on the
               performance of a particular Fund, and to the Fixed Account.
               Allocations to any Fund Account or to the Fixed Account must be
               in 5% increments.  (See Allocation





                                       8
<PAGE>   14
               of Net Premium Payments Section)

               Fund Account Values are not guaranteed and will vary with the
               investment performance of the specific Fund underlying that Fund
               Account.

               CHARGES AND FEES

               There is no sales load.

               There is a premium load on all premium payments which will not
               exceed 5.00%. Currently the premium load is 3.00% which is made
               up of 2.50% for state premium taxes and 0.50% for the additional
               federal income tax burden under Section 848 of the Code relating
               to the tax treatment of deferred acquisition costs.

   
               State premium taxes vary from state to state and may be as low
               as 0.75% and as high as 3.00%.  The 2.5% charge reflects an
               average state premium tax expense expected to be incurred for
               group variable life insurance policies offered in this
               prospectus; although applicable state premium tax laws may
               assess a tax at a rate either higher or lower than the charge
               included in the premium load under the Policy. This charge may
               vary from time to time based on changes in state premium tax
               laws, which states' premium tax laws are applicable to the
               policy and the amounts of premium received in such states;
               however, the premium load comprising the combined charges for
               federal income taxes and state premium taxes will not exceed 5%.
               The Company reserves the right to waive the state premium tax
               portion of the premium load when it would apply to the value of
               a policy or certificate of life insurance underwritten by the
               Company or an affiliate which is accepted in exchange for a
               certificate of insurance under this group variable universal
               life insurance policy in a transaction under Section 1035 of the
               Code.
    

   
               The company does not expect to earn a profit from this premium
               load.
    

   
               Monthly deductions are made from the Cash Value for the cost of
               insurance and any additional benefits.  Monthly deductions are
               also made from the Cash Value for administrative expenses. The
               administrative charge is comprised of two fixed dollar monthly
               fees. The first fixed dollar monthly fee, which will not exceed
               $5.00 per month, will be charged to each Certificate under the
               Policy. The second fixed
    




                                       9
<PAGE>   15
   
               dollar monthly fee, which will not exceed $3.00 per month, will
               be charged, in addition to the first fee, to Certificates which
               have accumulated Cash Value in any Fund Account. The second
               fixed dollar monthly fee will be waived for Certificates under
               which the Net Cash Value is greater than $10,000. In addition to
               the guaranteed maximum amounts for each of the two fixed dollar
               monthly fees comprising the monthly administrative fee, the sum
               of the two fixed dollar monthly fees actually charged at any
               time is guaranteed not to exceed $6.00.
    

               Daily charges to the Fund Accounts are made for the mortality
               and expense risks.  The mortality and expense risk charge may
               vary up to an annual rate of 0.90%.  It is currently at the
               annual rate of 0.45%.

   
               Investment results for each Fund Account are affected by each
               Fund's daily charge for management fees; these charges vary by
               Fund and are shown at page 16 of this Prospectus.
    

   
               A transaction fee of $25 is imposed for full surrenders, partial
               surrenders and for transfers in excess of 12 per Policy Year
               under a Certificate.  The Company reserves the right to waive
               this fee in some circumstances.
    

               Interest is charged on Certificate loans at an effective annual
               rate of 8%.  Interest is credited to funds securing the loan at
               an effective annual rate of no less than 6%.

               In certain instances, the Company may reduce monthly
               administrative fees and/or waive certain transaction fees in the
               sale of Policies to certain groups.

               Costs for sales, administration, and mortality generally vary
               with the size and stability of the group among other factors.

               The Company takes all these factors into account when reducing
               charges. To qualify for reduced charges, a group or similar
               arrangement must meet certain requirements, including our
               requirements for size and ease of administration.

               The Company will make any reductions according to its rules in
               effect when an application or enrollment form for a Policy is
               approved. The Company may change these rules from time to time.
               Any variation in the monthly administrative fees or

<PAGE>   16
               transaction fees will reflect differences in costs or services
               and will not be unfairly discriminatory.

THE SEPARATE
ACCOUNT AND THE
FUND ACCOUNTS

               Cash Value invested in the Fund Accounts of a Certificate under
               the Policy is held in the Separate Account. The Separate
               Account, CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account A, was
               established pursuant to a May 22, 1995 resolution of the Board
               of Directors of the Company.  Under Connecticut insurance law,
               the income, gains or losses of the Separate Account are credited
               without regard to the other income, gains or losses of the
               Company.  The Company serves as the custodian of the assets of
               the Separate Account.  These assets are held for the Policies.
               The Separate Account cannot be charged with liabilities of the
               Company other than liabilities under the Policies or under other
               Policies whose variable values and benefits are supported by the
               Separate Account, except to the extent that the Separate Account
               assets exceed the reserves and other contract liabilities of the
               Separate Account.

               All obligations arising under the Policies are general corporate
               liabilities of the Company. Separate Account assets are invested
               in shares of Funds.

               Owners who allocate Net Premium Payments, or transfer funds from
               another account, into a Fund Account are credited with  Variable
               Accumulation Units of the Related Fund valued at the current
               Variable Accumulation Unit Value for that Fund.  Variable
               Accumulation Unit Values for a Fund vary each Valuation Day
               based on the investment performance of the Related Fund. Any and
               all distributions made by any Fund with respect to shares held
               by the Separate Account will be reinvested in additional shares
               of the Fund at net asset value.
    

               Deductions, transfers, and surrenders from Fund Accounts will,
               in effect, be made by surrendering Variable Accumulation Units
               of the Related Fund at the then current Variable Accumulation
               Unit Value.

               The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission ("Commission") as a unit investment trust
               under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act").  Such
               registration does not involve supervision of the Separate
               Account or the Company's management of investment practices or
               policies by the Commission.  The Company does not guarantee the
               Separate Account's investment performance or the performance of
               the Certificates' Fund Accounts.

               The Company has other separate accounts registered as unit
               investment trusts with the Commission for the purpose of funding
               the Company's variable annuity contracts and other variable life
               insurance contracts.

THE FUNDS
               Each of the Fund Accounts under a Certificate is supported
               solely by the shares of one of the Funds available as funding
               vehicles under the Policies.  Each of the Funds is a portfolio
               of a trust or a corporation which is registered as an open-end,
               diversified management investment company under the Act (an
               "Investment Company").

               There follows a brief description of the investment objective of
               each Fund.  There can be no assurance that any of the stated
               investment objectives will be achieved.


   
               CIGNA VARIABLE PRODUCTS  MONEY MARKET FUND
    

               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





                                       13
<PAGE>   19
               more aggressive investments may provide. The fund's yield will
               vary from day to day and generally reflects current short-term
               interest rates and other market conditions.

   
               FIDELITY VIP II INVESTMENT GRADE BOND PORTFOLIO
    

               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 VIP II ASSET MANAGER PORTFOLIO
    

               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.

   
               CIGNA VARIABLE PRODUCTS S & P 500 INDEX FUND
    

               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 stocks, most of which trade on
               the New York Stock Exchange. The fund's 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 potentially greater
               results that could be obtained by a fund that aggressively seeks
               growth.

               Fund Account.
    

   
               FIDELITY VIP EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO
    

               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 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.

               TWENTIETH CENTURY TCI GROWTH

               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.

   
               FIDELITY VIP OVERSEAS PORTFOLIO
    

               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 its 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





                                       15

               environment, and overall economic factors in the countries in
               which the fund invests.

               FUND ANNUAL EXPENSES
               (as a percentage of Fund average net assets)

               The management fees for each Fund are based on a percentage of
               that Fund's assets under management.  The fees below represent
               the amounts payable to the investment adviser of each of the
               Funds on an annual basis as of the date of this Prospectus, plus
               other expenses.

               (1)  The Investment Advisor for CIGNA Variable Products Money
                    Market Fund has voluntarily agreed to limit total expenses
                    to 0.70% of average net assets.
    







                                       16

                    This agreement is voluntary and may end at any time,
                    however, the investment adviser for the fund has committed
                    to maintain this cap on expenses until December 31, 1996.
    

   
    

   
               (2)  A portion of the brokerage commissions the portfolio  paid
                    was used to reduce its expenses. Without this reduction,
                    "Total Annual Expenses" would have been .81% for Asset
                    Manager and .60% for Equity-Income.
    

   
               The purpose of the above Table is to assist the Certificate
               Owner in understanding the various Fund costs and expenses that
               a Certificate Owner will incur, directly or indirectly. For
               additional information, see "The Funds" in this Prospectus and
               the discussion in each Fund's prospectus.
    

               INVESTMENT RISK

               There is no assurance that the investment objective of any of
               the Funds will be met.  A Certificate Owner bears the complete
               investment risk for those portions of his Cash Value allocated
               to a Fund Account.  Each of the Fund Accounts involves inherent
               investment risk, and such risk varies significantly among the
               Fund Accounts.  Certificate Owners should read each Fund's
               prospectus carefully and understand the Fund Accounts' relative
               degrees of risk before making or changing investment choices.
               Additional Funds may, from time to time, be made available as
               investments to underlie the Policies.  However, the right to
               make such selections will be limited by the terms and conditions
               imposed on such transactions by the Company.

   
               All of the funds, except CIGNA Variable Products Money Market
               Fund and CIGNA Variable Products S&P 500 Index Fund may invest a
               portion of their funds in lower-quality debt securities. These
               lower-quality debt securities (sometimes called "junk bonds")
               are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk
               of default or price changes due to changes in interest rates,
               economic conditions, and the issuer's creditworthiness.
    

   
               As a result, their market prices tend to fluctuate more than
               higher-quality securities.  Lower quality securities are those
               rated lower than Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or
               lower than BBB by
    





                                       17
<PAGE>   23
   
               Standard & Poor's Corporation.  Certain of the portfolios
               offered as underlying funds may invest in such lower-quality
               debt securities.  See the prospectus for each portfolio for a
               further discussion of the risks and for additional information
               regarding the portfolio's investment policies and restrictions.
    

               SUBSTITUTION OR ELIMINATION OF FUNDS

   
               If the shares of any Fund should no longer be available for
               investment by the Separate Account or if, in the judgment of the
               Company, further investment in such shares should become
               inappropriate for  the Policies or the Separate Account, the
               Company may substitute shares of another Fund or eliminate such
               Fund from the Separate Account.  No substitution or elimination
               of securities supporting any Fund Account may take place without
               prior approval of the Commission and under such requirements as
               it may impose and notification to Group Policyholders and
               Owners.
    

               FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS

               The Company has entered into agreements with the various
               Investment Companies and their advisers or distributors through
               which the Company makes the Funds available under the Policies
               and performs certain administrative services.  In some cases,
               the advisers or distributors may compensate the Company for such
               services.

ELIGIBILITY
   
               The Policies will be sold 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 acceptable to the company.
    

   
               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
    




                                       18
<PAGE>   24
               the Employee.

   
               No policy or certificates will be issued unless a minimum number
               or percentage of employees eligible applies for coverage under
               the policy.  These minimums will be determined by the company,
               based on group characteristics in advance of offering to the
               employees.  No certificate of insurance under the policy will be
               issued to an employee, spouse, or dependent for whom this policy
               appears to be an unsuitable investment.
    


COVERAGE AMOUNTS


               AMOUNTS OF COVERAGE

   
               Coverage Amounts for Employees will be in multiples of the
               Employee's annual compensation and will be selected by the
               Employee at the time of enrollment. The minimum Coverage Amount
               for Insured Employees is $10,000. The minimum Coverage Amount
               for spouses is $10,000 or such lesser amount as may be required
               by State law . The maximum Coverage Amount will be agreed upon
               by the Group Policyholder and the Company but shall not be more
               than the lesser of ten times annual compensation or a fixed
               dollar maximum.  
    

   
               Coverage for spouses will be in $10,000 increments up to the 
               lesser of $100,000 or three times the Employees' Annual 
               Compensation.  The maximum coverage for spouses will be less 
               where required by state law.
    

               Maximum Coverage Amounts are subject to limitation by state law
               and may vary from state to state.

               GUARANTEED ISSUE AMOUNTS

   
               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 acceptable to the Company. 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 acceptable to the
               Company for amounts of insurance in excess of the guaranteed
               issue amount,for any increases in coverage, or if they enroll
               after the Policy

               Effective Date, or more than 30 days after becoming eligible
               after the Policy Effective Date.

               CHANGES IN COVERAGE AMOUNTS

               Changes in the Coverage Amount of a Certificate can be made by
               submitting a written request to the Customer Service Center in a
               form satisfactory to the Company.

               Increases in an Employee's Coverage Amount may be applied for
               based on an increase in the Employees' annual compensation or a
               higher multiple of the Employee's compensation.  Increases in
               the Coverage Amount for a spouse or child may be applied for at
               any time.

               Changes in the Coverage Amount are subject to the following
               conditions:

   
               -  Satisfactory evidence of good health acceptable to the
                  Company and a supplemental application will be required for
                  an increase in the Coverage amount.
    

   
               -  No decrease may reduce the Coverage Amount to less than
                  $10,000 (for spouses, such lesser amount as may be required
                  by state law).
    

               -  No decrease may reduce the Coverage Amount below the minimum
                  required to maintain the Policy's or the Certificate's status
                  under the Code as a life insurance contract.


   
               -  If the Automatic Increase Feature is available on the Policy
                  and the Employee has elected it, the Coverage Amount for an
                  Insured Employee will be increased on the Policy Anniversary
                  Date to maintain his elected multiple of annual compensation.
                  Evidence of good health acceptable to the Company will not be
                  required for increases in Coverage Amount through the
                  Automatic Increase Feature.
    

               AUTOMATIC INCREASE FEATURE

               If the Group Policyholder has elected to have this feature
               offered on the Policy, and the Employee has elected this
               feature, the Employee's Coverage Amount will be increased on
               each Policy Anniversary Date in order to maintain his elected
               multiple of annual





                                       20

               compensation.Evidence of good health acceptable to the Company
               will not be required for this increase in Coverage Amount. The
               amount of the increase may be subject to a dollar and/or
               percentage limit.  This feature will terminate if the Owner
               otherwise increases or decreases the Coverage Amount to an
               amount which is not a whole multiple of the Employee's Annual
               Compensation.
    

EFFECTIVE DATES

               Coverage, for applicants who apply within 31 days of becoming
               eligible, up to the guaranteed issue amounts will become
               effective either when the applicant becomes eligible or when the
               completed application is received. For applicants who apply
               later, and for amounts in excess of the guaranteed issue amount,
               coverage will become effective when the Company agrees in
               writing to insure the applicant.

   
               For Employees not in active service, the effective date of
               coverage will be delayed until the return to active service. For
               spouses who are disabled or for spouses and children who are
               hospitalized or confined at home under medical care, the
               effective date of coverage will be delayed until all such
               conditions have ended. If the conditions delaying the effective
               date are not resolved within 90 days of the original application
               date, a new application and new evidence of good health
               acceptable to the Company will be required.
    


RIGHT TO EXAMINE

               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 not
               allocated to the Separate Account even if the Certificate 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





                                       21

               it is drawn.  Any refund will be reduced by partial surrenders
               or loans plus interest accrued.

DEATH BENEFIT

               AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT

               The Death Benefit will be the greater of the Coverage Amount (an
               amount selected by the Owner, and subject to change by the Owner
               from time to time, with certain restrictions), plus the Net Cash
               Value, or the Corridor Death Benefit.  The Death Benefit varies,
               increasing or decreasing over time, depending on the amount of
               premium paid and the  investment performance of the Fund
               Accounts and the Fixed Account.  The Death Benefit will be
               reduced by any amount paid under the Advanced Payment Benefit
               Rider.

               PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT

               The Death Benefit under the Certificate will be paid in a lump
               sum within seven days after receipt at the Customer Service
               Center of due proof of the Insured's death (a certified copy of
               the death certificate) plus such other documentation as the
               Company may require as proof of a covered claim under the
               Certificate.  Payment of the Death Benefit may be delayed if the
               Certificate is being contested.

               The Death Benefit under the Certificate at any time must be at
               least the following "Corridor Percentage" of the Cash Value
               based on the Insured's attained age:

               The Company may either increase the Coverage Amount or require
               the Owner to request a partial surrender of cash value to assure
               that this corridor requirement is met. Evidence of good health
               acceptable to the Company may be required for any increase.
    

PREMIUM PAYMENTS

               PREMIUM PAYMENTS

               The Certificates provide for flexible premium payments. Premium
               payments are payable at the frequency and in the amount selected
               by the Certificate Owner.  The initial premium payment is due on
               the Certificate Effective Date.  Premiums may be paid on a
               periodic basis (for Insured Employees, periodic premium payments
               are ordinarily made through payroll deduction; for other
               Eligible Classes, periodic billing may be available) or on a
               lump sum basis.  The minimum payment required is the amount
               necessary to maintain a positive Net Cash Value.  After the
               initial premium payment, each subsequent lump sum premium
               payment must be at least $25.  The Company reserves the right to
               decline a premium payment.





                                       23
<PAGE>   29
   
               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 the Company has confirmed receipt of a wire
               transfer into a bank account maintained by the Company for
               receipt of premium from Group Policyholders under these
               Policies.  Such a wire transfer must be preceded, by 2 business
               days, by a reconciliation statement identifying the Group
               Policyholder, the Certificate number, the Owner and the amount
               of premium received for each Certificate.  Remittance of premium
               payments through the payroll deduction mechanism often requires
               significant processing time for collection and reconciliation of
               individual premium payments and to coordinate varying payroll
               cycles with monthly premium due dates.  Premium payments are not
               deemed received, and cannot be credited to Certificates, until
               the above reconciliation and receipt requirements are met.
    

               The Certificate Owner may elect to increase, decrease or change
               the frequency or amount of premium payments.

               Payment of periodic premium or lump sum premium in any amount
               will not guarantee that the Certificate will remain in force.
               Conversely, failure to pay periodic premium or lump sum premium
               will not necessarily cause a Certificate to lapse.

               PREMIUM INCREASES

               At any time, the Owner may increase periodic premium payment
               amounts or make lump sum premium payments, but:

   
              - Evidence of good health acceptable to the Company 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 Account.
    

              - 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 a life insurance contract.
                If, at any





                                       24
<PAGE>   30
                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.

              ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUM PAYMENTS

              At the time of purchase of the Certificate, the Owner must decide
              how to allocate Net Premium Payments among the Fund Accounts and
              the Fixed Account.  Allocation to any one Fund Account or to the
              Fixed Account must be in increments of 5% of the Net Premium
              Payment.  The portion of any Net Premium Payment allocated to a
              Fund Account will be used to purchase Variable Accumulation Units
              whose value varies based on the investment performance of the
              Related Fund.

              The number of Variable Accumulation Units credited to the Fund
              Account for any single purchase is determined by dividing the
              amount of the Net Premium Payment being allocated to that Fund
              Account by the value of the Variable Accumulation Unit for that
              Fund Account.

              During the Right-to-Examine period, any Net Premium Payment will
              be allocated to the Fixed Account, and interest credited from the
              later of Certificate Effective Date or the date the Net Premium
              Payment was received.  The Company will allocate the Net Premium
              Payments received during the Right to Examine Period directly to
              the Fund Account(s) selected by the Owner within three days after
              expiration of the Right-to-Examine period.

              Unless the Company is directed otherwise by the Certificate
              Owner, subsequent Net Premium Payments will be allocated on the
              same basis as the most recent Net Premium Payment.  Such
              allocation will occur as of the Valuation Day during which the
              payment is received.

              The allocation for future premium payments may be changed at any
              time free of charge.  Any new allocation will be applied to
              premium payments beginning no later than one week after the
              Company receives the notice of the new allocation.  Any new
              allocation must allocate to any single Fund Account or the Fixed
              Account in increments of 5% of the Net Premium Payment.

CERTIFICATE VALUES

               CASH VALUE

               The Cash Value of the Certificate is the sum of the Fixed
               Account Value, the Fund Account Values, and the Loan Account
               Value.

               The Loan Account Value is described under the Certificate Loan
               Provisions section of this Prospectus.

   
               The Fixed Account Value is the sum of: a) the Fixed Account
               Value at the end of the preceding day, minus b) charges or fees
               charged to the Fixed Account and transfers and surrenders out of
               the Fixed Account during that day, plus c) interest on the
               difference between a and b, plus d) the sum of all transfers
               into the Fixed Account during that day and all net  premium
               allocated to the Fixed Account during that day.
    

               The Fund Account Value is the product of the number of Variable
               Accumulation Units in that Fund Account and the Variable
               Accumulation Unit Value for that Fund Account.

               Variable Accumulation Units are added to a Fund Account when Net
               Premium Payments are allocated to the Fund Account or funds are
               transferred into the Fund Account from another Fund Account, the
               Fixed Account, or the Loan Account.  Variable Accumulation Units
               are deducted from a Fund Account when funds are transferred out
               of the Fund Account to another Fund Account, the Fixed Account,
               or the Loan Account. Variable Accumulation Units are also
               deducted from the Fund Account when funds are transferred out of
               the Fund Account for surrender or partial surrender. Variable
               Accumulation Units will also be deducted from the Fund Account
               when funds are withdrawn from the Fund Account for the Monthly
               Deductions, transaction fees, or other charges which are charged
               to a Fund Account as provided for in the Policy.





                                       26
<PAGE>   32
               The number of Variable Accumulation Units to be added to or
               deducted from a Fund Account is determined by dividing the
               dollar amount to be credited to or charged against the Fund
               Account by the Variable Accumulation Unit Value of Variable
               Accumulation Units for that Fund Account during the Valuation
               Period in which the credit or charge will occur.

               The Variable Accumulation Unit Value for a Fund Account is
               maintained by the Company and changes from Valuation Period to
               Valuation Period based on the investment performance of the
               Related Fund, the mortality and expense risk charge, and any
               charges to the Fund Account for taxes resulting from the
               operation of the Separate Account. (See Variable Accumulation
               Unit Value below.)

   
               The Fixed Account Value is guaranteed; but, there is no
               assurance that the sum of the Fund Account Values of the
               Certificate will equal or exceed the Net Premium Payments
               allocated to the Fund Accounts.
    

   
               Each Certificate Owner will be advised at least annually as to
               the number of Variable Accumulation Units which are credited to
               the Certificate, the current Variable Accumulation Unit values,
               the Fund Account Values, the Fixed Account Value and the Loan
               Account Value.
    

               VARIABLE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

               The value of a Variable Accumulation Unit for any Valuation
               Period is determined by multiplying the value of that Variable
               Accumulation Unit for the immediately preceding Valuation Period
               by the Net Investment Factor for the current period for the
               appropriate Fund Account. The Net Investment Factor is
               determined separately for each Fund Account by dividing (a) by
               (b) and subtracting (c) from the result, where (a) equals the
               net asset value per share of the Related Fund at the end of a
               Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any distribution
               declared by the Fund if the "ex-dividend" date is during the
               Valuation Period plus or minus the Fund Account's proportionate
               share of taxes or provisions for taxes, if any, attributable to
               the operation of the Separate Account during the Valuation
               Period; (b) equals the net asset value per share of the Related
               Fund  at the beginning of that Valuation Period, and (c) is the
               daily charge for mortality and expense risk multiplied by the
               number of days in the Valuation Period.

               TRANSFERS

               While the Certificate is in force, values may, at any time, be
               transferred ($250 minimum) from one Fund Account to another, or
               from the Fund Accounts to the Fixed Account.  Within the 30 days
               after each Policy Anniversary, 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 will be effective as of the
               Valuation Day during which the 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.

               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 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 Certificate Owner must call the
               Customer Service Center and provide, as identification, his
               Certificate number, his Social Security number, and his 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 within
               five business days.  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 from a Fund Account 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 Certificate
               Owner should carefully consider current market conditions and
               each Fund's investment policies and related risks

               before allocating money to the Fund Accounts.  See pages 12-19
               of this Prospectus and the prospectuses of the Funds.
    

               NET CASH VALUE

               The Net Cash Value is the Cash Value of the Certificate minus
               the Current Outstanding Loan Balance.


CHARGES AND FEES


               PREMIUM LOAD

               A deduction of 3.0% of each premium payment will be made to
               cover the premium load.  This load consists of 2.50% for state
               premium taxes and 0.50% for federal income taxes. The load may
               be changed from time to time but may not exceed 5%.

   
               State premium taxes vary from state to state and may be as low
               as 0.75% and as high as 3.00%.  The 2.5% charge reflects an
               average state premium tax expense expected to be incurred for
               group variable life insurance policies offered in this
               prospectus; although applicable state premium tax laws may
               assess a tax at a rate either higher or lower than the charge
               included in the premium load under the Policy. This charge may
               vary from time to time based on changes in state premium tax
               laws, which states' premium tax laws are applicable to the
               policy and the amounts of premium received in such states;
               however, the premium load comprising the combined charges for
               federal income taxes and state premium taxes will not exceed 5%. 
               The Company reserves the right to waive the state premium tax
               portion of the premium load when it would apply to the value of
               a policy or certificate of life insurance underwritten by the
               Company or an affiliate which is accepted in exchange for a
               certificate of insurance under this group variable universal
               life insurance policy.
    

   
               The company does not expect to earn a profit from this premium
               load.
    

               MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS

               A Monthly Deduction is made from the Net Cash Value for
               administrative expenses.  The monthly administrative fee will be
               comprised of two fixed





                                       29
<PAGE>   35
               dollar monthly fees.

               The first fixed dollar monthly fee, which will not exceed $5.00
               per month, will be charged to each Certificate.  The second
               fixed dollar monthly fee, which will not exceed $3.00 per month,
               will be charged, in addition to the first, to Certificates which
               have accumulated Cash Value in any Fund Account. The second
               fixed dollar monthly fee will be waived for any Certificate
               whose Net Cash Value is greater than $10,000. In addition to the
               guaranteed maximum amounts for each of the two fixed dollar
               monthly fees comprising the monthly administrative fee, the sum
               of the two fixed dollar monthly fees actually charged at any
               time is guaranteed not to exceed $6.00.

               This charge is for items such as premium billing and collection,
               Certificate value calculation, confirmations and periodic
               reports; and it will not exceed the Company's costs.

               [Text amended and moved to page 32 below]

               A Monthly Deduction is also made from the Net Cash Value for the
               Cost of Insurance and any charges for additional benefits or
               coverages. The Cost of Insurance is determined by multiplying
               the Coverage Amount by the applicable Cost of Insurance Rate as
               determined by the Company.  The Cost of Insurance Rate depends
               on the attained age, type of benefit, size and type of group,
               gender mix of the group, expectations of participation, Eligible
               Class of Insured, experience and persistency, federal and state
               taxes, rating classes, expectations of future mortality, whether
               premiums are paid directly to the Company or through payroll
               deduction, and the current Coverage Amount.

   
               The Guaranteed Maximum Cost of Insurance Rates, per $10,000 of
               Coverage Amount , for standard risks are set forth in the
               following Table based on 150% of the 1980 Commissioners Standard

               In certain instances, the Company may reduce monthly
               administrative fees and/or waive certain transaction fees in the
               sale of Policies to certain groups, including those in which a
               trustee or an employer, for example purchases Policies covering
               a group of individuals on a group basis. In addition, the
               Company may establish different costs of insurance and
               administrative fees for different Eligible Classes of Insureds
               under the Policy.
    

   
               Costs for sales, administration, and mortality generally vary
               with the size and stability of the group and with Class of
               insured under the Policy among, other factors.The Company takes
               all these factors into account when establishing or reducing
               charges.

               To qualify for reduced charges,a group or similar arrangement
               must meet certain requirements, including our requirements for

               The Company will make any initial reductions or establish any
               differences in rates or administrative fees according to its
               rules in effect at the time and in accord with the terms of the
               Policy.  The Company may change these rules from time to time.
               Any variation in the monthly administrative fees or transaction
               fees will reflect differences in costs or services and will not
               be unfairly discriminatory.
    

  [The preceding text amended and moved from page 31 above]

               The Monthly Deductions are deducted from the Fixed Account and
               each Fund Account in the proportion that the value of such
               account bears to the sum of the Fixed Account Value and the Fund
               Account Values.  For the Fund Accounts, deductions are
               accomplished by decreasing the number of Variable Accumulation
               Units in the Fund Account.  The Monthly Deductions are due on
               the first day of each month.

               TRANSACTION FEE FOR EXCESS TRANSFERS AND SURRENDERS

               There will be a $25 transaction fee for each transfer between
               funding options in excess of 12 during any Policy Year.  The
               Company reserves the right to waive this fee in some situations.
               Upon surrender of a Certificate, or a partial surrender, a
               transaction fee of $25 will be charged.

               MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

               For mortality and expense risks, a daily deduction, currently
               equivalent to .45% per year is made from amounts held in the
               Fund Accounts.  This deduction may be changed by the Company
               from time to time; but, it is guaranteed not to exceed .90% per
               year.

               The mortality risk the Company assumes is that the group of
               lives insured under the Policies may, on average, live for
               shorter periods of time than the Company estimated.  The expense
               risk the Company assumes is that its costs of issuing and
               administer- ing Policies may be more than the Company estimated.

               If these charges are insufficient to cover actual costs and
               assumed risks, the loss will fall on the





                                       32
<PAGE>   38
               Company.  Conversely, if the charge proves more than sufficient,
               any excess will be added to the Company's surplus and may be
               used for any proper purpose.

CERTIFICATE LOANS

   
               If the Certificate is in force and has an accumulated Net Cash
               Value, the Company will, upon application, make  a loan to the
               Owner of the Certificate using the Certificate's Cash Value as
               security for the loan. The minimum loan amount is $250.  A
               Certificate 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 make  a
               loan which would require that the Loan Account Value be greater
               than 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 change in the amount of the Loan  Balance 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
               funding option, withdrawals from each funding option will be
               made proportionately from the values in each funding option at
               the time of the transfer, 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 Current Outstanding Loan Balance.  To the extent that the
               Current Outstanding Loan Balance exceeds the Loan Account Value,
               such excess will reduce the payment of any proceeds under the
               Certificate or the Cash Value.

               The Company will credit interest on the Loan Account Value at a
               rate which will be not less than 6%.





                                       33
<PAGE>   39
   
               Upon repayment of all or any portion of a loan, and
               corresponding reduction of the Loan Balance, funds in the Loan
               Account in an amount equal to the amount of the loan repayment
               will be transferred to the funding options according to current
               Net Premium Payment allocations.
    

               A Certificate loan, whether or not repaid, will affect the
               proceeds payable upon the Insured's death and the Cash Value
               because the investment results of the Fund Accounts or the Fixed
               Account will apply only to the non-loaned portion of the Cash
               Value.  The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect
               is likely to be.  Depending on the investment results of the
               Fund Accounts or the Fixed Account while the loan is
               outstanding, the effect could be favorable or unfavorable.



SURRENDERS,
LAPSE, AND
REINSTATEMENT

               FULL SURRENDERS

               A full surrender may be made at any time 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
               along with the return of the Certificate. A transaction fee of
               $25 is charged.

               PARTIAL SURRENDERS

               A partial surrender may be made at any time by written request
               to the Customer Service Center while the Certificate is in
               force.  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 funding option, the $25
               transaction charge and the amount





                                       34
<PAGE>   40
               paid upon the surrender will be taken proportion- ately from the
               values in each funding option, unless the Certificate Owner and
               the Company agree otherwise.

               LAPSE OF A CERTIFICATE

               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.

               REINSTATEMENT OF A LAPSED CERTIFICATE

   
               If the Certificate lapses, the Owner can apply, in writing, for
               reinstatement at any time prior to three years after the date of
               lapse.  The Coverage Amount of the reinstated Certificate will
               be the same as the Coverage Amount of the Certificate at the
               time of lapse. To reinstate a Certificate, the Company will
               require evidence of good health acceptable to the Company (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 and will be subject to new contestability and
               suicide periods.
    





TERMINATION,
CONTINUATION,AND
CONVERSION

               POLICY TERMINATION

               Either the Group Policyholder or the Company may terminate the
               Policy upon 60 days prior notice to the other party.  Upon
               Policy termination, individual coverage will be affected as set
               forth below.

               TERMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL COVERAGE





                                       35
<PAGE>   41
               Coverage for an Insured under the Policy will terminate upon
               lapse or surrender of the Insured's Certificate, or upon the
               death of the Insured.  Coverage for an Insured under the Policy
               will also terminate upon termination of the Policy or upon loss
               of eligibility of the Insured unless the Policy expressly
               provides for continuation of the Insured's coverage.

               Term insurance coverage for an insured dependent child will
               terminate upon termination of the Certificate under which the
               child is covered, or upon the loss of eligibility of the child,
               or when the Certificate Owner terminates the child  coverage, or
               upon the Child electing to purchase group variable universal
               life insurance under the Policy as provided for in the Policy,
               or upon the death of the child.

               CONTINUATION

               The circumstances in which the Employees or spouses may continue
               coverage after Policy termination or loss of eligibility will be
               determined by the Group Policyholder in advance of the Policy
               being issued.  For loss of eligibility the following options are
               available to the Group Policyholder.  For Employees, the Group
               Policyholder may select continuation upon retirement, leave of
               absence, and termination of employment. For spouses, the Group
               Policyholder may select continuation upon termination of the
               Employee's employment, death of the Employee, and divorce of the
               spouse and the Employee.  For Employees on leave of absence, the
               Group Policyholder may select continuation upon retirement,
               return to active service, or termination of employment.  Child
               term coverage may continue if the Certificate upon which the
               term coverage was elected continues.

               For termination of the Policy, the Group Policyholder may elect
               to allow continuation if the Insured Employee or spouse is not
               eligible for coverage under a successor plan.

               If continuation is not available to the Insured as described
               above, and the Insured has a Net Cash Value of $250 or greater,
               coverage under the Policy will continue for the Insured.

   
               The monthly cost of insurance rates and the monthly
               administrative fee and its components may change
    





                                       36
<PAGE>   42
   
               upon the Insured's continuation of coverage under the Policy.
    

               CONVERSION

               If the Insured's coverage terminates because the insured is no
               longer a member of an Eligible Class under the Policy, and
               continuation is not provided for under the Policy, the insured
               may convert the amount of his insurance coverage which is
               terminating.  If the Insured's coverage terminates because of
               Policy termination, and continuation is not provided for under
               the Policy, and if the Insured has been covered under the Policy
               for at least three years, the Insured may convert up to $10,000
               of the life insurance coverage which is terminating.

   
               Such conversions may be to any form of individual life insurance
               coverage then offered by the Company except that the coverage
               may not be term insurance and it may not contain disability or
               other supplemental benefits.  Evidence of good health acceptable
               to the Company will not be required for such conversion. Such
               conversions must be applied for within 31 days of termination of
               coverage.
    

   
               No conversion is available for lapsed or surrendered coverage or
               for coverage which the Insured becomes  eligible to replace or
               continue under another Policy or a group life insurance policy
               which replaces the Policy within 30 days.
    


ADDITIONAL
COVERAGE
RIDERS

   
               Each of the following optional benefit riders is available for
               Group Policyholder selection.  Where indicated, the Employee
               will be able to choose whether or not he wishes to purchase the
               coverage provided by the rider.  An additional cost of insurance
               will be charged as a part of the Monthly Deduction for each
               coverage rider which is in effect for the Certificate, except
               for the Waiver of Cost of Life Insurance rider, the cost of
               which will be included in the cost of life insurance if selected
               by the employer.
    

               ACCIDENTAL DEATH, DISMEMBERMENT AND INJURY





                                       37
<PAGE>   43
   
               The Group Policyholder may select one of three Accident Benefit
               Riders which provide additional benefits in the event of death
               or injury resulting from accident within 90 days of the
               accident. If one of the three riders is selected by the Group
               Policyholder, the Employee may elect or decline to be covered
               for the benefit provided by the rider.
    

               The first rider provides an additional death benefit equal to
               the Coverage Amount.

               The second rider provides, in addition to the benefit provided
               by the first rider, additional benefits if the insured suffers,
               as a result of accident, loss of a hand, loss of a foot, loss of
               the sight in one eye, loss of the thumb and index finger of the
               same hand, or any combination thereof.

               The benefit for any covered loss under this rider is a
               percentage of the Coverage Amount under the Policy.The benefit
               for any covered loss under this rider is a percentage of the
               Coverage Amount under the Policy. The maximum amount that will
               be paid, in aggregate, for all losses under the rider,  result-
               ing from any one accident, is an amount equal to the Coverage
               Amount.

               The third rider provides, in addition to the benefits provided
               under the second rider above, benefits if the insured suffers,
               as a result of accident, loss of speech, loss of hearing, quad-
               riplegia, paraplegia, or hemiplegia. The benefit for any covered
               loss under this rider is a percentage of the Coverage Amount
               under the Policy.  The maximum amount that will be paid, in
               aggregate, for all losses under this rider, resulting from any
               one accident, is an amount equal to the Coverage  Amount.

               WAIVER OF COST OF LIFE INSURANCE

   
               If elected by the Group Policyholder, all Certificate Owners
               will be covered by this rider.  Under this optional benefit
               rider, if the Insured Employee becomes totally disabled before
               age 60, the cost of life insurance coverage, the monthly
               administrative fee for the Employee's Certificate, and the cost
               of child term coverage provided under the Employee's Certificate
               will be waived while the Employee remains continuously and
               totally disabled following a waiting period of 6 to 12 months.
               The waiting period will be agreed upon between the Group
    





                                       38
<PAGE>   44
   
               Policyholder and the Company before coverage under this Rider
               becomes effective .  While the specifically identified charges
               are being waived under this rider, the Owner may continue to pay
               premiums which will accumulate as Cash Value subject to the
               terms and conditions of the Policy.
    

               The Insured must submit proof of continuing Total Disability as
               reasonably required by the Company. The Coverage Amount may not
               be increased while the cost of insurance is being waived; and,
               the cost of insurance for spouse coverage, retiree coverage and
               any optional benefits or features is not waived under this
               rider.  Child coverage may not be added after the disability has
               begun.  Coverage under this rider terminates at age 65.

               PAID-UP INSURANCE

               If elected by the Group Policyholder, all Certificate Owners
               will be covered by this rider.

   
               Under this optional benefit rider, the Owner may use all or any
               portion of his Net Cash Value to purchase a policy of Paid-Up
               insurance in an amount not to exceed the Coverage Amount in
               force for the Insured at the time of purchase.  Such coverage is
               provided under a separate policy but the premium for such
               coverage shall be calculated by using the maximum cost of
               insurance for the Policy and the minimum interest rate guarantee
               for the Fixed Account.  No evidence of good health will be
               required for such coverage. The Coverage Amount of the Owner's
               Certificate will be reduced by the amount of coverage purchased
               under the Paid-Up policy.
    

               ADVANCED PAYMENT BENEFIT

               If elected by the Group Policyholder, this coverage is available
               to be elected or declined by the Certificate Owner.  This
               coverage is available for insured employees, former employees,
               spouses, former spouses, retirees and leave of absence
               employees.

   
               Under this rider, the Company will pay one of the three
               following types of benefit.
    

               The three types of benefit are:

               1.  Terminal Illness Benefit. The Company will pay up to 60% of
                   the Insured's Coverage Amount upon receipt of due proof,
                   acceptable to the Company,





                                       39
<PAGE>   45
                   that the Insured has a terminal illness.  Such proof
                   comprises a written diagnosis by two un- affiliated
                   physicians stating that the Insured has less than 12 months
                   to live, and supportive evidence satisfactory to the Company
                   including but not limited to radiological, histological, and
                   laboratory reports.  Payment will be made in  a lump sum.

               2.  Nursing Care and Custodial Care Facility Benefit.  The
                   Company will pay up to 60% of the Insured's Coverage Amount
                   upon receipt of due proof, acceptable to the Company, that
                   the Insured:

                   -   has an Impairment, as determined by the Company;

                   -   is confined to a Nursing Care or Custodial Facility
                       (registered as a bed patient on a 24 hour basis) due to
                       the Impairment;

                   -   provides the Company with written certifica- tion from
                       two unaffiliated Physicians that the Insured is expected
                       to remain in the Nursing Care or Custodial Care Facility
                       for the rest of his life; and,

                   -   has satisfied the deductible waiting period.

                   The deductible waiting period is 90 consecutive days.
                   Payment may be made on a lump sum basis or on a periodic
                   basis at 2% per month until thirty  monthly payments have
                   been made.  Impairment is specifically defined in the rider
                   and generally means the Insured is totally disabled and
                   unable to function without human assistance or supervision.

               3.  Specified Disease Benefit. The Company will pay up to 60% of
                   the Insured's Coverage Amount upon receipt of due proof,
                   acceptable to the Company, that the Insured has a Specified
                   Disease. Specified Disease means life threatening cancer,
                   heart attack, renal failure, stroke, specified organ
                   transplant, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome.  Such
                   diseases are further defined in the rider.  Due proof
                   comprises a written diagnosis and prognosis by a licensed
                   physician certifying the existence of the disease, and
                   supportive evidence satisfactory to the Company including
                   but not limited to radiological,





                                       40
<PAGE>   46
                   histological, or laboratory reports.  Payment will be made
                   in a lump sum.

               The Owner may make a claim for only one of the three benefits
               described above.

               Once a benefit has been paid under this rider for an Insured, no
               further benefits will be paid for that Insured under this rider.
               The Death Benefit for the Insured will be reduced by the amount
               paid under this rider for the Insured.

               SEAT BELT BENEFIT RIDER

               Under this optional benefit rider, the Company will pay an
               additional 10% of the Insured's Coverage Amount (up to a maximum
               of $10,000) if the Insured dies as a result of an accident while
               driving or riding in a private passenger car and properly
               wearing his seat belt.  Proper use of the seat belt must be
               certified in the official accident report.

OTHER
POLICY
PROVISIONS

               DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT

               Payment of the surrendered amount from the Fund Accounts 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.

               FIXED BENEFIT POLICY EXCHANGE

               Where required by state law, the Owner may, within eighteen
               months of the Certificate Effective Date, exchange his
               Certificate for a Certificate of insurance under a group
               flexible premium life insurance policy issued by the Company
               ("Exchange Policy").  The date of issue and the age at issue of
               the Certificate under the Exchange Policy shall be the same as
               for the Certificate under the Policy.  Additional coverage and
               riders elected by the Owner under the Policy will be provided on
               the Exchange Policy to the extent available.  Premium rates will
               be those in effect under the Exchange Policy at the time of
               exchange for the class of eligible persons





                                       41
<PAGE>   47
               into which the Insured falls.  Cash Values will be equitably
               adjusted under the Exchange Policy.

               CERTIFICATE OWNER

               While the Insured is living, all rights in this Certificate are
               vested in the Certificate Owner named in the application, or as
               subsequently changed, subject to assignment, if any.

               If the Certificate Owner, other than the Insured, dies before
               the Insured, the Certificate Owner's rights in this Certificate
               belong to the Certificate Owner's estate.

               BENEFICIARY

               The Beneficiary(ies) shall be as named in the application, or as
               subsequently changed.

               The Certificate Owner may name a new Beneficiary while the
               Insured is living.  Any change must be in a written form
               satisfactory to the Company and recorded at the Customer Service
               Center.  Once recorded, the change will be effective as of the
               date signed; however, the change will not affect any payment
               made or action taken by the Company before it was recorded.

               If any Beneficiary predeceases the Insured, that Beneficiary's
               interest passes to any surviving Beneficiary(ies), unless
               otherwise provided.Multiple Beneficiaries will be paid in equal
               shares, unless otherwise provided.  If no designated Beneficiary
               survives the Insured, or if no Beneficiary has been designated,
               the death proceeds shall be paid to the first surviving class of
               the Insured's spouse, the Insured's children, the Insured's
               parents or the Insured's siblings.  If no member of any of the
               above classes survives the Insured, the proceeds will be paid to
               the Insured's estate.

               ASSIGNMENT

               While the Insured is living, the Certificate Owner may assign
               his rights in the Certificate.  The assignment must be in
               writing in a form acceptable to the Company, signed by the
               Certificate Owner and recorded at the Customer Service Center.
               No assignment will affect any payment made or action taken by
               the Company before it was recorded.  The Company is not
               responsible for any assignment not





                                       42
<PAGE>   48
               submitted for recording, nor is the Company responsible for the
               sufficiency or validity of any assignment.  The assignment will
               be subject to all terms and conditions of the Policy.

               INCONTESTABILITY

   
               Statements made by an Insured will not be used to contest the
               validity of an Insured's initial coverage after the Certificate
               has been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two years
               from the Certifi- cate Effective Date.  For any increase in
               Coverage Amount, statements made by an Insured will not be used
               to contest the validity of an increase in coverage after it has
               been in force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from
               its effective date of the increase.
    

               MISSTATEMENT OF AGE

   
               If the age of the Insured has been misstated, the affected
               benefits will be adjusted to the amounts which the the most
               recent cost of insurance deducted from the Cash Value would have
               purchased at the correct age.
    

               SUICIDE

               If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two
               years from the Certificate Effective Date, the Company will pay
               no more than the sum of the premiums paid, less any partial
               surrenders, less the sum of any loans plus accrued interest.  If
               the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two
               years from the date an application is accepted for an increase
               in the Coverage Amount, the Company will pay no more than a
               refund of the monthly charges for the cost of such additional
               coverage.

STATE
VARIATIONS
               Certain benefits and other policy terms may vary from state to
               state due to the requirements of state law.



NONPARTICIPATING

<PAGE>   49
               These are nonparticipating Policies on which no dividends are
               payable.  These Policies do not share in the profits or surplus
               earnings of the Company.
DOLLAR COST
AVERAGING

   
               Dollar Cost Averaging is a program which, if elected, enables a
               Certificate Owner to systematically reallocate specified dollar
               amounts from the CIGNA Variable Products Money Market Fund
               Account to the other Fund Accounts and the Fixed Account at
               regular intervals. By allocating an identified sum on a
               regularly scheduled basis as opposed to reallocating the total
               amount at one particular time, a Certificate Owner may be less
               susceptible to the impact of market fluctuations.
    

   
               Dollar Cost Averaging may be selected by establishing a CIGNA
               Variable Products Money Market Fund Account Value of at least
               $3,000. The minimum transfer amount is $250.  All Dollar Cost
               Averaging transfers will be made effective the first processing
               day following the first of the month (or the next Valuation Day,
               if later).  Election of this arrangement may occur at any time
               by properly completing the Dollar Cost Averaging election form,
               returning it to the Company so it is received by the tenth of
               the month, to be effective the following month, and ensuring
               that sufficient value is in the CIGNA Variable Products Money
               Market Fund Account.
    

   
               Dollar Cost Averaging will terminate when any of the following
               occurs: (1) the number of designated transfers has been
               completed; (2) the CIGNA Variable Products Money Market Fund
               Account Value is insufficient to complete the next transfer;(3)
               the Owner requests termination in writing and such writing is
               received by the tenth of the month in order to cancel the
               transfer scheduled to take effect the following month; or (4)
               the Certificate is lapsed, surrendered or otherwise terminated.
    

               There is currently no charge for Dollar Cost Averaging; however,
               Dollar Cost Averaging transfers are counted among the twelve
               free transfers per Policy Year.  The Company reserves the right
               to charge for this program.  In the event there are additional
               transfers, a transfer fee will be charged.  The Company does not
               intend to profit from any such charge.

               The main objective of Dollar Cost Averaging is to





                                       44
<PAGE>   50
               shield investments from short term price fluctuations. Since the
               same dollar amount is transferred to a Fund Account with each
               transfer, more Variable Accumulation Units are purchased if the
               Variable Accumulation Unit Value is low, and fewer Variable
               Accumulation Units are purchased if the Variable Accumulation
               Unit Value is high.  Therefore, a lower than average cost per
               unit may be achieved over the long term.  This plan of investing
               allows investors to take advantage of market fluctuations but
               does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in declining
               markets.

TAX MATTERS

   
               The following is a brief discussion of some of the federal tax
               issues which may arise in regard to the Policy and Certificates.
               This discussion is general in nature and is not intended as tax
               advice.  For specific advice on the effect of tax laws and rules
               on the Policy and Certificates, the Owner should consult a
               qualified tax adviser.
    

               POLICY PROCEEDS

               Section 7702 of the Code provides that if certain tests are met,
               a Policy will be treated as a life insurance policy for federal
               tax purposes.  The Company will monitor compliance with these
               tests.  The Policy should thus receive the same federal income
               tax treatment as fixed benefit life insurance.  As a result, the
               death proceeds payable under a Policy are excludable from gross
               income of the Beneficiary under Section 101 of the Code.


               Section 7702A of the Code defines modified endowment contracts
               as those policies issued or materially changed on or after June
               21, 1988 on which the total premiums paid during the first seven
               years exceed the amount that would have been paid if the policy
               provided for paid up benefits after seven level annual premiums.
               The Code provides for taxation of surrenders, partial
               surrenders, loans, collateral assignments and other pre-death
               distributions from modified endowment contracts in the same way
               annuities are taxed, i.e., they are taxable to the extent the
               cash value of the policy exceeds, at the time of distribution,
               the premiums paid into the policy.  A 10% tax penalty generally
               applies to the taxable portion of such distributions unless the
               Policy Owner is over age 59 1/2 or disabled.





                                       45
<PAGE>   51
               The Certificates under the Policies offered by this Prospectus
               may or may not be issued as modified endowment contracts.  The
               Company will monitor premiums paid and will notify the
               Certificate Owner when the Certificate's non-modified endowment
               contract status is in jeopardy.  If a Policy is not a modified
               endowment contract, a cash distribution during the first 15
               years after a policy is issued which causes a reduction in death
               benefits may still become fully or partially taxable to the
               Owner pursuant to Section 7702(f)(7) of the Code.  The
               Certificate Owner should carefully consider this potential
               effect and seek further information before initiating any
               changes in the terms of the Certificate.  Under certain
               conditions, a Certificate may become a modified endowment
               contract as a result of a material change or a reduction in
               benefits as defined by Section 7702A(c) of the Code.

               In addition to meeting the tests required under Section 7702 and
               Section 7702A, Section 817(h) of the Code requires that the
               investments of separate accounts such as the Separate Account be
               adequately diversified.  Regulations issued by the Secretary of
               the Treasury set the standards for measuring the adequacy of
               this diversification.  A variable life insurance policy not
               adequately diversified under these regulations would not be
               treated as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code.  To be
               adequately diversified, each Fund Account of the Separate
               Account must meet certain tests.

   
               The Company intends that  the Separate Account investments meet
               the applicable diversification standards.
    

               Should the Secretary of the Treasury issue additional rules or
               regulations limiting the number of funds, transfers between
               funds, exchanges of funds or changes in investment objectives of
               funds such that the Policy would no longer qualify as life
               insurance under Section 7702 of the Code, the Company will take
               whatever steps are available to allow the Policies to continue
               to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702.

               The Company will monitor compliance with these regulations and,
               to the extent necessary, will change the objectives or assets of
               the Separate Account investments to remain in compliance.

               A total surrender or termination of the Certificate





                                       46
<PAGE>   52
               by lapse may have adverse tax consequences.  If the amount
               received by the Certificate Owner plus total Certificate
               indebtedness exceeds the premiums paid into the Certificate, the
               excess will generally be treated as taxable income, regardless
               of whether or not the Certificate is a modified endowment
               contract.

               Federal estate and state and local estate, inheritance and other
               tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Certificate proceeds
               depend on the circumstances of each Certificate Owner or
               Beneficiary.  The Owner should consult a professional tax
               adviser to determine the tax consequences of purchasing or
               making transactions under the Policy.

               TAXATION OF THE COMPANY

               The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code.
               Since the Separate Account is not a separate entity from the
               Company and its operations form a part of the Company, it will
               not be taxed separately as a "regulated investment company"
               under Sub-chapter M of the Code.  Investment income and realized
               capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account are
               reinvested and taken into account in determining the value of
               Variable Accumulation Units.

               The Company does not initially expect to incur any Federal
               income tax liability that would be chargeable to the Separate
               Account.  Based upon these expectations, no charge is currently
               being made against the Separate Account for federal income
               taxes. If, however, the Company determines that on a separate
               company basis such taxes may be incurred, it reserves the right
               to assess a charge for such taxes against the Separate Account.

               The Company may also incur state and local taxes in addition to
               premium taxes in several states. At present, these taxes are not
               significant.  If they increase, however, additional charges for
               such taxes may be made.

               SECTION 848 CHARGES

               The current 3.0% premium load is assessed to cover state taxes
               and federal income tax liabilities incurred by the Company.
               This load is made up of 2.50% for state taxes and 0.50% for the
               additional





                                       47

               federal income tax burden under Section 848 of the Code relating
               to the tax treatment of deferred acquisition costs.  The 0.50%
               charge for federal income tax liabilities is reasonable in
               relation to the Company's increased taxes under this Section of
               the Code.  The premium load may be changed from time to time by
               the Company, but it may be no greater than 5.0%.

               OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

               The foregoing discussion is general and is not intended as tax
               advice.  Counsel and other competent advisers should be
               consulted for more complete information.  This discussion is
               based on the Company's understanding of Federal income tax laws
               as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue
               Service.  No representation is made as to the likelihood of
               continuation of these current laws and interpretations.

OTHER MATTERS

               VOTING RIGHTS

   
               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 instructions received from
               Certificate Owners  having Variable Accumulation Units of the
               Fund.  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.
    

   
               If, however, the Act or any regulation thereunder is amended or
               if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a
               result the Company determines that it is permitted to vote the
               Fund shares in its own right, it may elect to do so.  The number
               of votes which a Certificate Owner has the right to instruct
               will be calculated separately for each Fund.  This number will
               be determined by calculating the proportion of the Certificate
               Owner's Cash Value in the Fund Account to the amount of the
               Separate Account's investment in the Related Fund and
               multiplying that proportion by the number of votes the Separate
               Account has in the Fund. In determining the number of votes,
               fractional shares
    




                                       48
<PAGE>   54
   
               will be recognized.  The number of votes that a Certificate
               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 60 days before the meeting of the Fund.
               Voting instructions will be solicited by written communication
               at least 14 days prior to such meeting of the Fund. Each
               Certificate Owner having a voting interest in the Fund will
               receive appropriate proxy materials and reports.
    

               The Company will vote the Fund shares as to which no timely
               instructions are received in proportion to the voting
               instructions from others with an interest in the particular Fund
               Account.  Voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted
               upon will be applied to reduce the votes eligible to be cast by
               the Company.

               The Company may, if required by State insurance regulatory
               authorities, disregard voting instructions if the instructions
               require that the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the
               sub-classification or investment objectives of the Fund or to
               approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract for a
               Fund.

               A change would be disapproved only if the proposed change is
               contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory
               authorities or the Company determines that the change would have
               an adverse effect on the Separate Account in that the proposed
               investment policy for a Fund may result in overly speculative or
               unsound investments.  In the event the Company does disregard
               voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons
               for such action will be included in the next annual report to
               Certificate Owners.

   
               The Funds' shares are issued and redeemed only in connection
               with qualified plans, and variable annuity contracts and
               variable life insurance policies issued through separate
               accounts of the Company and other life insurance companies.  The
               Funds do not foresee any disadvantage to Certificate Owners
               arising out of the fact that shares may be made available to
               separate accounts which are used in connection with both
               variable annuity and variable life insurance products.
               Nevertheless, the Funds' Boards intend to monitor events in
               order to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts which
    





                                       49
<PAGE>   55
               may possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should
               be taken in response thereto. If such a conflict were to occur,
               one of the separate accounts might withdraw its investment in a
               Fund.  This might force a Fund to sell portfolio securities at
               disadvantageous prices.

               DISTRIBUTION OF POLICIES

               The Policies will be sold by licensed insurance agents in those
               states where the Policies may lawfully be sold.  Such agents
               will be registered representatives of broker-dealers registered
               under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the
               National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD).  The
               Policies will be distributed by the Company's principal
               underwriter, CIGNA Financial Advisors, Inc. ("CFA"), whose
               address is the same as the Company's.  CFA is a Connecticut
               corporation organized in 1967, and is the principal underwriter
               for the Company's other registered separate accounts.

               Gross first year commissions paid by the Company, including
               expense reimbursement allowances, on the sale of these Policies
               are not more than 20% of premium payments.  Gross renewal
               commissions paid by the Company will not exceed 15% of premium
               payments.

               OTHER CONTRACTS ISSUED BY THE COMPANY

               The Company does presently and will, from time to time, offer
               other variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance
               policies with benefits which vary in accordance with the
               investment experience of a separate account of the Company.

               RIGHT TO TAKE ACTIONS REGARDING THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

               The Company reserves the right to take certain actions in
               connection with Separate Account operations.  These 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 ,
    
               -   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 the
                   Company's general account, and
               -   to take any actions necessary to comply with, or to obtain
                   and continue any exemptions from, the Act.

               STATE REGULATION

               The Company is subject to the laws of Connecticut governing
               insurance companies and to regulation by the Connecticut
               Insurance Department.  An annual statement in a prescribed form
               is filed with the Insurance Department each year covering the
               operation of the Company for the preceding year and its
               financial condition as of the end of such year.  Regulation by
               the Insurance Department includes periodic examination to
               determine the Company's contract liabilities and reserves so
               that the Insurance Department may certify the items are correct.
               The Company's books and accounts are subject to review by the
               Insurance Department at all times and a full examination of its
               operations is conducted periodically by the National Association
               of Insurance Commissioners.  Such regulation does not, however,
               involve any supervision of management or investment practices or
               policies.  A blanket bond for $10 million covers all of the
               officers and employees of the Company.

               REPORTS TO CERTIFICATE OWNERS

               The Company maintains Policy records and will mail to each
               Certificate Owner, at the last known address of record, an
               annual statement showing the amount of the current Death
               Benefit, the Cash Value, and Net Cash Value, premiums paid and
               monthly charges deducted since the last report, the amounts
               invested in the Fixed Account, in each Fund Account, and any
               Loan Account Value.

               Certificate Owners will also be sent annual reports containing
               financial statements for the Separate Account as required by the
               1940 Act. In addition, Certificate Owners will receive periodic
               statements of significant transactions, such as changes in
               Coverage Amount, changes in net premium payment allocation,
               transfers among Fund Accounts, premium payments, loans, loan
               repayments, reinstatement and termination.

               ADVERTISING

               The Company is rated by independent financial rating services,
               including Moody's, Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps and A.M.
               Best Company. The purpose of these ratings is to reflect the
               financial strength or claims-paying ability of the Company. The
               ratings are not intended to reflect the investment experience or
               financial strength of the Separate Account.  The Company may
               advertise these ratings from time to time.  Furthermore, the
               Company may occasionally include in advertisements comparisons
               of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based
               on selected tax brackets, or discussions of alternative
               investment vehicles and general economic conditions.

               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

               There are no material legal or administrative proceedings
               pending or known to be contemplated, other than ordinary routine
               litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company and
               the Separate Account are party, or to which any of their
               property is subject.  The principal underwriter, CFA, is not
               engaged in any material litigation of any nature.

               Statement have been rendered by Benjamin Clement, FSA, MAAA as
               stated in the opinion filed as an Exhibit to the Registration
               Statement given on the  authority of Mr. Clement as an expert in
               actuarial matters.   Legal matters involving the federal

               Legal matters in connection with the Policies described herein
               are being passed upon by Jerold H. Rosenblum, Esq., Chief
               Counsel, CIGNA Group Insurance, 1601 Chestnut Street,
               Philadelphia, PA19102 in the opinion filed as an Exhibit to the
               Registration Statement given on his authority as an expert in
               these matters.

               The consolidated financial statements of Connecticut General
               Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and for
               each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994
               included in this Prospectus have been so included in reliance on
               the report of Price Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants,
               given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and
               accounting.

               REGISTRATION STATEMENT

               A Registration Statement has been filed with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
               amended, with respect to the Policies offered hereby.  This
               Prospectus does not contain all the information set forth in the
               Registration Statement and amendments thereto and exhibits filed
               as a part thereof, to all of which reference is hereby made for
               further information concerning the Separate Account, the
               Company, and the Policies offered hereby.  Statements contained
               in this Prospectus as to the content of Policies and other legal
               instruments are summaries.  For a complete statement of the
               terms thereof, reference is made to such instruments as filed.

               FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               There follow consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its
               subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and related
               consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash
               flows for  the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992.

               The most current financial statements of the Company are those
               as of the end of the most recent fiscal





                                       54
<PAGE>   60
               year.  The Company does not prepare financial statements more
               often than annually and believes that any incremental benefit to
               prospective Certificate Owners that may result from preparing
               and delivering more current financial statements, though
               unaudited, does not justify the additional cost that would be
               incurred.  In addition, the Company represents that there have
               been no adverse changes in the financial condition or operations
               of the Company between the end of 1994 and the date of this
               Prospectus.

               These financial statements should be considered only as bearing
               upon the ability of the Company to meet its obligations under
               the Policies.  No financial statements of the Separate Account
               are included, because as of the date of this Prospectus the
               Separate Account had not yet commenced operations.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




February 13, 1995


   
The Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company
    

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Connecticut
General Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

The Company implemented certain new accounting pronouncements as discussed in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

                   CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   
  A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION:  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (the Company) and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, CIGNA Life Insurance Company, ICO, Inc., and First
Equicor Life Insurance Company (FELIC).  During 1994, the Company sold FELIC
the effects of which were not material to the financial statements.  The
Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connecticut General Corporation (the
Parent), which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation
(CIGNA).  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior years' amounts to conform with the
1994 presentation.
    

  B) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:  In 1993, the Company implemented
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  SFAS No. 115 requires that
debt and equity securities be classified into different categories and carried
at fair value if they are not classified as held to maturity.  SFAS No. 115
does not permit retroactive application of its provisions.  The effect of
implementing SFAS No. 115 as of December 31, 1993 resulted in an increase in
investment assets of $958 million and an increase in shareholder's equity of
$443 million resulting from the classification of certain fixed maturities
previously carried at amortized cost to available for sale.  The increase in
shareholder's equity is net of policyholder share of $277 million and deferred
income taxes of $238 million.  See Note 2 for additional information.

  In 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which provides guidance on
the accounting and disclosure for impaired loans, and must be implemented by
the first quarter of 1995, with the cumulative effect of implementation
included in net income.  In October 1994, the FASB issued SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures," which eliminates the income recognition requirements of SFAS No.
114.  The Company will adopt SFAS Nos. 114 and 118 in 1995.  The effect on the
Company's results of operations and financial condition upon adoption is not
expected to be material.

  In 1992, the Company implemented SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions;" SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes;" and SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits."  These accounting changes were implemented as of January 1, 1992
through cumulative effect adjustments.  Prior year financial statements were
not restated.

  The cumulative effect of implementing SFAS Nos. 106, 109 and 112 as of
January 1, 1992 resulted in non-cash after-tax charges (benefit) to net income
of $263 million, ($105) million and $7 million, respectively.  In addition, the
implementation of SFAS No. 106 increased 1992 other operating expenses by $23
million ($15 million after-tax).  The effect on income tax expense for 1992 as
a result of implementation of SFAS No. 109 was immaterial.  There was no
incremental effect on 1992 net income from adopting SFAS No. 112.  For
additional information on SFAS No. 109, see Note 5; for additional information
on SFAS Nos. 106 and 112, see Note 6.

  In 1992, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) 92-3, "Accounting for Foreclosed
Assets," which resulted in a realized investment loss of $5 million ($3 million
after-tax).

  C) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:  In the normal course of business, the Company
enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments,
including investments such as fixed maturities and equity securities; and
off-balance-sheet financial instruments such as investment and loan
commitments, financial guarantees, and interest rate swap and futures
contracts.  These instruments have credit risk and also may be subject to risk
of loss due to interest rate and market fluctuations.  However, risk of loss
due to interest rate fluctuations is reduced through the use of certain
derivative instruments.  The Company evaluates and monitors each financial
instrument individually and, where appropriate, obtains collateral or other
forms of security to minimize risk of loss.

  D) INVESTMENTS:  Investments in fixed maturities include bonds, asset-backed
securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs); and
redeemable preferred stocks.  Fixed maturities classified as held to maturity
are carried at amortized cost, net of impairments, and those classified as
available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized appreciation or
depreciation included in Shareholder's Equity.  Fixed maturities are considered
impaired and written down to fair value when a decline in value is considered
to be other than temporary.

  Mortgage loans are carried principally at unpaid principal balances, net of
valuation reserves.  Generally, mortgage loans are considered impaired and a
valuation reserve is established when a decline in the fair value of the
collateral below the carrying value is other than temporary.





                                       61
<PAGE>   67
   Fixed maturities and mortgage loans that are delinquent or restructured to
modify basic financial terms, typically to reduce the interest rate and, in
certain cases, extend the term, are placed on non-accrual status, and
thereafter interest income is recognized only when payment is received.

  Real estate investments are either held for the production of income or held
for sale.  Real estate investments held for the production of income are
carried at depreciated cost less valuation reserves when a decline in value is
other than temporary.  Depreciation is generally calculated using the
straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Real
estate investments held for sale are those which are acquired through the
foreclosure of mortgage loans.  These assets are valued at their fair value at
the time of foreclosure.  The fair value is established as the new cost basis
and the asset acquired is reclassified from mortgage loans to real estate held
for sale.  Subsequent to foreclosure, these investments are carried at the
lower of depreciated cost or current fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Adjustments to the carrying value as a result of changes in fair value
subsequent to foreclosure are recorded as valuation reserves and reported in
realized investment gains and losses.   The Company considers several methods
in determining fair value for real estate acquired through foreclosure, with
greater emphasis placed on the use of discounted cash flow analyses and, in
some cases, the use of third-party appraisals.  Assets held for sale are
depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives
of the assets.

  Equity securities, which include common and non-redeemable preferred stocks,
are carried at fair value.  Short-term investments are carried at fair value,
which approximates cost.  Equity securities and short-term investments are
classified as available for sale.

      Policy loans are generally carried at unpaid principal balances.

  Realized investment gains and losses result from sales, investment asset
write-downs and changes in valuation reserves, after deducting amounts
attributable to experience-rated pension policyholders' contracts and
participating life policies ("policyholder share").  Generally, realized
investment gains and losses are based upon specific identification of the
investment assets.

  Unrealized investment gains and losses, after deducting policyholder share
and net of deferred income taxes, if applicable, for investments carried at
fair value are included in Shareholder's Equity.

     See Note 2(F) for a discussion of the Company's accounting policies for
derivative financial instruments.

  E) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  Short-term investments with a maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase are reported as cash equivalents.

  F) REINSURANCE RECOVERABLES:  Reinsurance recoverables are estimates of
amounts to be received from reinsurers, including amounts under reinsurance
agreements with affiliated companies.  Allowances are established for amounts
deemed uncollectible.

  G) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS:  Acquisition costs consist of
commissions, premium taxes and other costs, which vary with, and are primarily
related to, the production of revenues.  Group life and a portion of group
health insurance business acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the
terms of the insurance policies.  Acquisition costs related to universal life
products and contractholder deposit funds are deferred and amortized in
proportion to total estimated gross profits over the expected life of the
contracts.  Acquisition costs related to annuity and other life insurance
businesses are deferred and amortized, generally in proportion to the ratio of
annual revenue to the estimated total revenues over the contract periods.
Deferred acquisition costs are reviewed to determine if they are recoverable
from future income, including investment income.  If such costs are determined
to be unrecoverable, they are expensed at the time of determination.

  H) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:  Property and equipment are carried at cost less
accumulated depreciation.  When applicable, cost includes interest and real
estate taxes incurred during construction and other construction-related costs.
Depreciation is calculated principally on the straight-line method based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets.  Accumulated depreciation was $333
million and $261 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

  I) OTHER ASSETS:  Other Assets consists of various insurance-related assets,
principally ceded unearned premiums, reinsurance deposits and other amounts due
from affiliated companies.

  J) GOODWILL:  Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses
acquired over the fair value of their net assets.  These costs are amortized on
systematic bases over periods, not exceeding 40 years, that correspond with the
benefits expected to be derived from the acquisition.  The Company evaluates
the carrying amount of goodwill by analyzing historical and expected future
income and undiscounted cash flows of the related businesses.  Write-downs of
goodwill are recognized when it is determined that the amount has been
impaired.  Also, amortization periods are revised if it is determined that the
remaining period of benefit of the goodwill has changed.  Accumulated
amortization was $70 million and $56 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

  K) SEPARATE ACCOUNTS:  Separate account assets and liabilities are
principally carried at market value, with less than 4% carried at amortized
cost, and represent policyholder funds maintained in accounts having specific
investment





                                       62
<PAGE>   68
objectives.  The investment income, gains and losses of these accounts
generally accrue to the policyholders and, therefore, are not included in the
Company's net income.

  L) CONTRACTHOLDER DEPOSIT FUNDS:  Contractholder Deposit Funds are
liabilities for investment-related and universal life products which were $18.6
billion and $8.1 billion as of December 31, 1994, respectively, compared with
$19.1 billion and $6.0 billion as of December 31, 1993, respectively.  These
liabilities consist of deposits received from customers and investment earnings
on their fund balances, less administrative charges and, for universal life
fund balances, mortality and surrender charges.

  M) FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS:  Future policy benefits are liabilities for life,
health and annuity products.  Such liabilities are established in amounts
adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force.  These
liabilities are computed using premium assumptions for group annuity policies
and the net level premium method for individual life and annuity policies, and
are based upon estimates as to future investment yield, mortality and
withdrawals that include provisions for adverse deviation.  Future policy
benefits for individual life insurance and annuity policies are computed using
interest rates ranging from 2% to 11%, generally graded down after 10 to 30
years.  Mortality, morbidity, and withdrawal assumptions for all policies are
based on either the Company's own experience or various actuarial tables.

  N) UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM EXPENSES:  Liabilities for unpaid claims and claim
expenses are estimates of payments to be made on insurance claims for reported
losses and estimates of losses incurred but not reported.  The Company's prior
year claims and claim adjustment expenses were not material.

  O) UNEARNED PREMIUMS:  Premiums for group life, and accident and health
insurance are reported as earned on a pro rata basis over the contract period.
The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as Unearned Premiums.

  P) OTHER LIABILITIES:  Other Liabilities consists principally of
postretirement and postemployment benefits and various insurance-related
liabilities, including amounts related to reinsurance contracts.  Also included
in Other Liabilities are liabilities for guaranty fund assessments that can be
reasonably estimated.

  Q) TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES:  Foreign operations primarily utilize
the local currencies as their functional currencies, and assets and liabilities
are translated at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date.  Revenues
and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during
the year.  The translation gain or loss on such functional currencies is
generally reflected in Shareholder's Equity, net of applicable taxes.

  R) PREMIUM AND FEES, REVENUES AND RELATED EXPENSES:  Premiums for group life
and accident and health insurance are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis
over their contract periods.  Premiums for individual life and health insurance
as well as individual and group annuity products, excluding universal life and
investment-related products, are recognized as revenue when due.  Benefits,
losses and expenses are matched with premiums.

  Revenues for universal life products consist of net investment income and
mortality, administration and surrender fees assessed against the fund values
during the period.  Benefit expenses for universal life products consist of
benefit claims in excess of fund values and net investment income credited to
fund values.  Revenues for investment-related products consist of net
investment income and contract charges assessed against the fund values during
the period.  Benefit expenses for investment-related products primarily consist
of net investment income credited to the fund values after deduction for
investment and risk fees.

  S) PARTICIPATING BUSINESS:  Certain life insurance policies contain dividend
payment provisions that enable the policyholder to participate in the earnings
of the Company's business.  The participating insurance in force accounted for
5.2% of total insurance in force at December 31, 1994, compared with 3.6% at
December 31, 1993 and .4% at December 31, 1992.

   
  T) INCOME TAXES:  The Company and its subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated United States federal income tax return filed by CIGNA.  In
accordance with United States federal income tax consolidated return
regulations, all corporations included in a consolidated tax return are jointly
and severally liable for all tax liabilities.  In accordance with a tax sharing
agreement, the provision for federal income tax is computed as if the Company
was filing a separate federal income tax return, except that benefits arising
from tax credits and net operating losses are allocated to those subsidiaries
producing such attributes only to the extent they are utilized in the
consolidated federal income tax provision.
    

  Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities
have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes.
These differences result primarily from loss reserves, policy acquisition
expenses, investments, reserves for postretirement benefits and unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on investments.

  At December 31, 1994, contractual fixed maturity investment commitments
approximated $226 million.  The majority of investment commitments are for the
purchase of investment grade fixed maturities, bearing interest at a fixed
market rate, and require no collateral.  These commitments are diversified by
issuer and maturity date, and it is estimated that the full amount will be
disbursed in 1995, with the majority occurring within the first three months.

   
  B) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS:  As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, short-term
investments include debt securities, principally corporate securities of $139
million and $36 million, respectively; federal government securities of $3
million and $53 million, respectively; and foreign government securities of $1
million and $7 million as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 respectively.
    

  C) MORTGAGE LOANS AND REAL ESTATE:  The Company's mortgage loans and real
estate investments are diversified by property type and location and, for
mortgage loans, by borrower.  Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related
properties and generally approximate 80% of the property's value at the time
the original loan is made.

  At December 31, the carrying values of mortgage loans and real estate
investments, including policyholder share, were as follows:

  At December 31, 1994, scheduled mortgage loan maturities were as follows:
1995 - $752 million; 1996 - $1.0 billion; 1997 - $1.1 billion; 1998 - $743
million; 1999 - $1.2 billion, and $4.2 billion thereafter.  Actual maturities
could differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right
to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties, and loans may be
refinanced.  During 1994 and 1993, the Company refinanced approximately $600
million and $800 million, respectively, of its mortgage loans relating to
borrowers that were unable to obtain alternative financing.

  At December 31, 1994, contractual commitments to extend credit under
commercial mortgage loan agreements amounted to approximately $286 million, all
of which were at a fixed market rate of interest.  These commitments generally
expire within one year, in most cases within three months, and are diversified
by property type and geographic region.  Included in these commitments is
approximately $180 million of commitments to refinance mortgage loans,
currently in a separate account, relating to borrowers that are not expected to
be able to obtain alternative financing.

(decrease) in such net unrealized appreciation was ($1,194) million, ($129)
million, and $115 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

  F) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:  The Company's investment strategy is to
manage investment assets to reflect the underlying characteristics of related
insurance and contractholder liabilities such as liquidity, currency, yield and
duration, which vary among the Company's principal product lines.  In
connection with this investment strategy, the Company uses derivative
instruments through hedging applications to manage market risk.

  Generally, the Company uses interest rate swap contracts to create, when
combined with cash flows from variable rate bonds, fixed rate cash flows that
meet its portfolio investment strategy.  Currency swaps are used to match the
currency of individual investments to that of the associated liabilities.
Interest rate futures are used to temporarily hedge against changes in market
values of bonds and mortgage loans to be purchased or sold, and stock index
futures may be used to hedge the temporary cash position of equity accounts.
Interest rate futures also are used to hedge interest rate risk associated with
withdrawals by contractholders over a scheduled time period.

  Cash requirements arise as a result of the Company's derivative activities.
Under interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with other parties to exchange,
at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and variable rate
interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal
amount.  Under futures contracts, initial margin requirements are settled with
cash or other instruments and changes in the contract values are settled in
cash daily with the exchange on which the instrument is traded.  Under currency
swaps, the parties generally exchange a principal amount in the two relevant
currencies, agreeing to re-exchange principal amounts at a specified future
date using an agreed-upon exchange rate, and agreeing to periodically exchange
amounts equal to interest payments using the agreed-upon exchange rate.

  Because the Company's use of derivatives is limited to hedging applications,
changes in the market value of the derivatives are substantially offset by
changes in the market value of the hedged assets or underlying liabilities,
minimizing market risk.  The Company routinely monitors, by individual
counterparty, exposure to credit risk associated with swap contracts.  Futures
contracts are exchange-traded and, therefore, credit risk is limited since the
exchange assumes the obligations.  The Company manages legal risks by following
industry standardized documentation procedures, by monitoring legal
developments and, consistent with its credit exposure policies, by limiting
risks associated with counterparty failure by diversifying the swaps portfolio
among approved dealers of high credit quality.

   
  Changes in the market value of futures contracts that qualify as hedges are
deferred and recorded as adjustments to the carrying value of the related bond
or mortgage loan.  Deferred gains and losses are amortized into net investment
income over the life of the investments purchased or recognized in full as
realized investment gains and losses in the event that the investment or
futures contract is sold prior to maturity.  Futures contracts totaled $142
million and $129 million as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and
were accounted for as hedges.  At December 31, 1994, gains and losses on
futures contracts deferred in anticipation of investment purchases were $1
million and $3 million, respectively.
    
   
  Net interest received or paid on an interest rate swap contract is recognized
currently as an adjustment to net investment income.  Underlying notional
principal amounts associated with interest rate swap contracts outstanding were
$596 million and $542 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
    
   
  The interest payment cash flows received in U.S. dollars from currency swaps
related to foreign currency denominated investment securities (primarily
Canadian dollars, pound sterling, Swiss francs, New Zealand dollars and
Japanese yen) are recognized as net investment income when received.  Gains and
losses from changes in exchange rates related to foreign currency swaps are
recognized in realized investment gains and losses, offset by
    




                                       67
<PAGE>   73
exchange rate gains and losses on the related investments.  Underlying
principal amounts associated with currency swap contracts outstanding were $325
million and $248 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

  As of December 31, 1994, the Company's variable rate investments consisted of
approximately $810 million of fixed maturities and the Company's fixed rate
investments consisted of $18 billion of fixed maturities and $9 billion of
mortgage loans.  For the year ended December 31, 1994, the average yield on the
Company's investments in fixed maturities and mortgage loans was 8.7%.  For the
year ended December 31, 1994, net investment income on bonds and mortgage loans
was increased by $7 million and $1 million, respectively, as a result of
recognizing amortization of deferred market value changes in futures contracts.
In addition, the increase in net investment income for bonds resulting from
interest rate swap contracts was $12 million, $19 million and $17 million for
the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

  G) OTHER:  As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had no concentration
of investments in a single investee exceeding 10% of Shareholder's Equity.

</TABLE>

  Net investment income attributable to policyholder contracts, which is
included in the Company's revenues and is primarily offset by amounts included
in Benefits, Losses and Settlement Expenses, was approximately $1.5 billion for
1994 and $1.6 billion for 1993 and 1992.  Net investment income for separate
accounts, which is not reflected in the Company's revenues, was $693 million,
$604 million and $656 million for December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

  As of December 31, 1994, fixed maturities and mortgage loans on non-accrual
status, including policyholder share, were $272 million and $743 million,
including restructured investments of $148 million and $543 million,
respectively.  Amounts on non-accrual status as of December 31, 1993 were $332
million of fixed maturities and $827 million of mortgage loans, including
restructurings of $245 million and $689 million, respectively.  If interest on
these investments had been recognized in accordance with their original terms,
net income would have been increased by $14 million, $17 million and $20
million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

  Impairments in the value of investments, net of recoveries, that are included
in realized investment gains and losses were $33 million, $55 million and $38
million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

  Realized investment gains (losses) for separate accounts, which are not
reflected in the Company's revenues, were ($51) million, $612 million and $243
million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Realized investment (losses) attributable to policyholder contracts, which also
are not reflected in the Company's revenues, were, ($5) million and ($103)
million for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.   Net
realized investment gains (losses) attributable to policyholder contracts were
zero for the year ended December 31, 1994.

  During 1994, proceeds from sales of available-for-sale fixed maturities and
equities, including policyholder share, were $1.4 billion.  Such sales resulted
in gross realized gains and gross realized losses of $73 million and $70
million, respectively.  During 1994, the Company also sold $14 million of held
to maturity fixed maturities, including policyholder share, resulting in gross
proceeds of $12 million and a pre-tax realized loss of $2 million.  In
addition, $82 million of fixed maturities classified as held to maturity,
including policyholder share, were transferred to the available-for-sale
category at fair value, which was not significantly different from the carrying
value.  The sales of fixed maturities classified as held to maturity and the
transfer of such securities to the available-for-sale category were the result
of significant credit deterioration of the issuers of the affected investments.

  Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 115, proceeds from voluntary sales of
investments in fixed maturities, including policyholder share, were $599
million and $595 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively.  Such sales resulted
in gross realized gains and gross realized (losses), including policyholder
share, of $36 million and ($3) million in 1993, compared with $36 million and
($14) million in 1992.   These amounts exclude the effects of sales of fixed
maturities that, prior to the implementation of SFAS No. 115, were classified
as short-term investments.


NOTE 4 - SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
   
  The Connecticut Insurance Department (the Department) recognizes as net
income and surplus (shareholder's equity) those amounts determined in
conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
Department, which differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting
principles.  As of December 31, 1994, there were no material permitted
accounting practices utilized by the Company.
    

  Capital stock of the Company at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consisted of
5,978,322 shares of common stock authorized, issued and outstanding (par value
$5.00).

   
  Statutory surplus was $2.0 billion at both December 31, 1994 and 1993.  The
Connecticut Insurance Holding Company Act limits the maximum amount of annual
dividends or other distributions available to shareholders of Connecticut
insurance companies without prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner.
Under current law, the maximum dividend distribution which may be made by the
Company during 1995 without prior approval is $429 million.
    

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

  In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Company adopted the liability method of
accounting for income taxes as discussed in Note 1.

   
  As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the net deferred tax asset was $661 million
and $434 million, respectively.
    

  Management believes, based on the Company's earnings history and its future
expectations, that the Company's taxable income in future years will be
sufficient to realize the net deferred tax asset.  In determining the adequacy
of future taxable income, management considered the future reversal of its
existing taxable temporary differences and available tax planning strategies
that could be implemented, if necessary.

   
  In accordance with the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act of 1959, a
portion of the Company's statutory income was not subject to current income
taxation but was accumulated in an account designated Policyholders' Surplus
Account.  Under the Tax Reform Act of 1984, no further additions may be made to
the Policyholders' Surplus Account for tax years ending after December 31,
1983.  The balance in the account of approximately $450 million at December 31,
1994 would result in a tax liability of $158 million (at a 35% rate), only if
distributed to the shareholders or if the account balance exceeded a prescribed
maximum.   No income taxes have been provided on this amount because, in
management's opinion, the likelihood that these conditions will be met is
remote.
    

  CIGNA's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS), and provisions are made in the financial statements in
anticipation of the results of these audits.  CIGNA resolved all issues
relative to the Company arising out of audits for 1982 through 1990 which
resulted in an increase to net income of $2 million, $3 million and $121
million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

  In management's opinion, adequate tax liabilities have been established for
all years.

  As a result of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA), the
federal corporate income tax rate increased by one percent to 35% retroactive
to January 1, 1993.  Deferred income tax benefits for 1993 included $13 million
related to an increase in the Company's net deferred tax asset as of January 1,
1993, due to the effect of the tax rate increase.

  Total income tax expense was less than the amount computed using the nominal

NOTE 6 - PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLANS

  A) PENSION PLANS:  The Company provides retirement benefits to eligible
employees and agents.  These benefits are provided through a single integrated
plan (the Plan) sponsored by CIGNA covering most domestic employees and by
several separate pension plans for various subsidiaries, agents and foreign
employees.

  The Plan is a non-contributory, defined benefit, trusteed plan available to
eligible domestic employees.  Benefits are based on employees' years of service
and compensation during the highest three or, if service commenced after
December 31, 1988, five consecutive years of employment, offset by a portion of
the Social Security benefit for which they are eligible.  CIGNA funds at least
the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  Allocated pension cost for the Company was $31 million, $27 million and
$24 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

  The Plan, and several separate pension plans for various subsidiaries and
agents, had deposits with the Company totalling approximately $1.7 billion and
$1.6 billion at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

  B) OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS PLANS:  In addition to providing pension
benefits, the Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits
to retired employees, spouses and other eligible dependents through various
plans sponsored by CIGNA.  A substantial portion of the Company's employees may
become eligible for these benefits upon retirement.  As of January 1, 1992, the
health care benefit plans required nominal contributions by retirees.  In
August 1992, CIGNA amended its plans effective January 1, 1993, whereby CIGNA's
contributions for health care benefits will depend upon a retiree's date of
retirement, age and years of service.  In addition, the plan amendments
increased the level of other cost-sharing features, such as deductibles and
coinsurance.  Under the terms of the benefit plans, benefit provisions and
cost-sharing features can continue to be adjusted.  In general, retiree health
care benefits are not funded and are paid as covered expenses are incurred.
Retiree life insurance benefits are paid from plan assets or as covered
expenses are incurred.

  Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106 for all of its
postretirement benefit plans (See Note 1).  Under SFAS No. 106, an employer's
postretirement benefit liability is primarily measured by determining the
present value of the projected future costs of health benefits based on an
estimate of health care cost trend rates.  Expense for postretirement benefits
other than pensions allocated to the Company totalled $28 million for 1994, $15
million for 1993 and $23 million for 1992.  The other postretirement benefit
liability included in Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 was $422 million and $415 million, including
net intercompany payables of $29 million and $32 million, respectively for
services provided by affiliates' employees.

  C) OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:  The Company provides certain salary
continuation (severance and disability), health care and life insurance
benefits to inactive and former employees, spouses and other eligible
dependents through various employee benefit plans sponsored by CIGNA.  Those
plans are unfunded and noncontributory, except for the life insurance and
health care plans.

  Although severance benefits accumulate with additional service, the Company
recognizes severance expense when severance is probable and the costs can be
reasonably estimated.  Postemployment benefits other than severance generally
do not vest or accumulate; therefore, the estimated cost of benefits is accrued
when determined to be probable and estimable, generally upon disability or
termination.  See Note 1 for additional information regarding implementation of
SFAS No. 112.

  D) CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLANS: CIGNA sponsors various capital accumulation
plans in which employee contributions on a before-tax basis (401(k)) are
supplemented by CIGNA matching contributions.  Contributions are invested, at
the election of the employee, in one or more of the following investments:
CIGNA common stock fund, several non-CIGNA stock and bond portfolios and a
fixed-income fund.  The Company's expense for such plans totaled $14 million,
$13 million and $12 million for December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.



NOTE 7 - LEASES AND RENTALS

  Rental expenses for operating leases, principally with respect to buildings,
amounted to $62 million, $66 million and $65 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

  As of December 31, 1994, future net minimum rental payments under
non-cancelable operating leases were $151 million, payable as follows:  1995 -
$48 million; 1996 -$43 million; 1997 - $27 million; 1998 - $14 million; 1999
- -$10 million; and $9 million thereafter.

<PAGE>   77
NOTE 8 - REINSURANCE

  In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements,
primarily relating to short-duration contracts, to assume and cede reinsurance
with other insurance companies.  Reinsurance is ceded primarily to limit losses
from large exposures and to permit recovery of a portion of direct losses,
although ceded reinsurance does not relieve the originating insurer of
liability.  The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and
monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions,
activities, or economic characteristic of its reinsurers.  Failure of
reinsurers to indemnify the Company, as a result of reinsurer insolvencies or
disputes, could result in losses.  As of December 31, 1994 and 1993 there were
no allowances for uncollectible amounts.  While future charges for
unrecoverable reinsurance may materially affect results of operations in future
periods, such amounts are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's liquidity or financial condition.

  The effects of reinsurance on net earned premiums and fees for the year ended
December 31 were as follows:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------=============================
</TABLE>

   
  The effects of reinsurance on written premiums and fees were not materially
different from the amounts shown above.  Benefits, losses and settlement
expenses for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were net of reinsurance recoveries of  $149
million, $119 million and $124 million, respectively.
    


NOTE 9 - CONTINGENCIES

  A) FINANCIAL GUARANTEES:  The Company is contingently liable for financial
guarantees provided in the ordinary course of business on the repayment of
principal and interest on certain industrial revenue bonds.  The contractual
amounts of financial guarantees reflect the Company's maximum exposure to
credit loss in the event of nonperformance.  To limit the Company's exposure in
the event of default of any guaranteed obligation, various programs are in
place to ascertain the creditworthiness of guaranteed parties and to monitor
this status on a periodic basis.  Risk is further reduced through reinsurance
and, in certain programs, use of letters of credit and other types of security.

  The industrial revenue bonds guaranteed directly by the Company have
remaining maturities of up to 21 years.  The guarantees provide for payment of
debt service only as it becomes due; consequently, an event of default would
not cause an acceleration of scheduled principal and interest payments.  The
principal amount of the bonds guaranteed by the Company at December 31, 1994
and 1993 was $296 million and $323 million, respectively.  Revenues in
connection with industrial revenue bond guarantees are derived principally from
equity participations in the related projects and are included in Net
Investment Income as earned.  Loss reserves for financial guarantees are
established when a default has occurred or when the Company believes that a
loss has been incurred.  During 1994 and 1992, losses for industrial revenue
bonds were $1 million, and $4 million, respectively.  There were no such losses
in 1993.

  Prior to 1993, the Company had an arrangement with CIGNA Property and
Casualty Insurance Company (CIGNA P&C), an affiliate, whereby the Company
guaranteed the performance of certain investments purchased to support a group
accident and health reinsurance agreement between the companies.  (See Note 11
for additional information.)  In accordance with 1993 amendments to the
reinsurance treaties, the Company and CIGNA P&C mutually agreed to terminate
this arrangement.  The principal amount of such investments guaranteed by the
Company was $150 million as of December 31, 1992.  A loss of $2 million related
to this guarantee was reported by the Company in 1992.





                                       72
<PAGE>   78
  The Company also guarantees a minimum level of benefits for certain separate
account contracts and, in the event that separate account assets are
insufficient to fund minimum policy benefits, the Company is obligated to fund
the difference.  As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the amount of minimum
benefit guarantees for separate account contracts was $4.8 billion and $4.9
billion, respectively.  Reserves in addition to the separate account
liabilities are established when the Company believes a payment will be
required under one of these guarantees. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
reserves of $6 million were recorded.  Guarantee fees are part of the overall
management fee charged to separate accounts and are recognized in income as
earned.

  Although the ultimate outcome of any loss contingencies arising from the
Company's financial guarantees may adversely affect results of operations in
future periods, they are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's liquidity or financial condition.

  B) REGULATORY AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS:  The Company's businesses are
subject to a changing social, economic, legal, legislative and regulatory
environment which could adversely affect them.  Some of the changes include
initiatives to: restrict insurance pricing and the application of underwriting
standards; reform health care; restrict investment practices; and expand
regulation.

  Proposals on national health care reform were under consideration in 1994
which could have significantly changed the way health care is financed and
delivered in the United States.  Congress recessed in 1994 without enacting
health care reform.  New legislation could be introduced in Congress in 1995;
however, comprehensive national reform is not likely to be proposed in 1995.
Instead, the Company expects federal and state proposals seeking modest
insurance reform and limitations on the formation and operation of efficient
health care networks.  Due to uncertainties associated with the timing and
content of any health care legislation, the effect on the Company's future
results of operations, liquidity or financial condition cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time.

    The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has developed
model solvency-related guidelines ("risk-based capital" rules) to strengthen
solvency regulation of insurance companies.  Depending on the ratio of the
insurer's surplus to its risk-based capital, the insurer could be subject to
various regulatory actions ranging from increased scrutiny to conservatorship.
As of December 31, 1994,  the Company was adequately capitalized under the
risk-based capital rules.

   
    Also, the NAIC is addressing a proposal that would limit the types and
amounts of investments held.  The Company does not expect such guidelines to
have a material adverse effect on its future results of operations, liquidity,
or financial condition.
    

  Unfavorable economic conditions have contributed to an increase in the number
of insurance companies that are impaired or insolvent.  This is expected to
result in an increase in mandatory assessments by state guaranty funds of, or
voluntary payments by, solvent insurance companies to cover losses to
policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated companies.  Mandatory assessments,
which are subject to statutory limits, can be partially recovered through a
reduction in future premium taxes in some states.  Assessments against the
Company were $12 million, $10 million and $7 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively, before giving effect to future premium tax recoveries.  Although
future assessments and payments may adversely affect results of operations in
future periods, such amounts are not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Company's liquidity or financial condition.

  The eventual effect on the Company of the changing environment in which it
operates remains uncertain.

  C) LITIGATION:  The Company is routinely engaged in litigation incidental to
its business, including litigation associated with syndicated investment
products.  While the outcome of all litigation involving CIGNA, including
insurance-related litigation, cannot be determined, litigation is not expected
to result in losses that differ from recorded reserves by amounts that would be
material to results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.


NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  Financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosure requirements
(insurance contracts, real estate, goodwill and taxes are excluded) are carried
in the financial statements at amounts that approximate fair values, unless
otherwise indicated in the table below.  The fair values used for financial
instruments are estimates that in many cases may differ significantly from the
amounts that could be realized upon immediate liquidation.  In cases where
market prices are not available, estimates of fair value are based on
discounted cash flow analyses which utilize current interest rates for similar
financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality.  The fair value
of liabilities for contractholder deposit funds was estimated using the amount
payable on demand and, for those not payable on demand, discounted cash flow
analyses.

NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   
  The Company has ceded group accident and health business under an
experience-rated stop loss agreement to CIGNA P&C.  Reinsurance recoverables
from CIGNA P&C were $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion at December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively.  During 1993 and 1992, the Company earned experience-rated
refunds from CIGNA P&C, net of premiums ceded, of $63 million, and $25 million,
respectively.  Effective January 1, 1995 reinsurance arrangement was
terminated.  Effective with this termination, reserves of approximately $312
million, primarily related to long-term disability business, were recaptured,
with CIGNA P&C assuming responsibility for runout claims on the remaining
reserves.  Assets, principally mortgages, with a fair market value equal to
reserves were received as part of the recapture.
    

  The Company has assumed the settlement annuity and group pension business
written by Life Insurance Company of North America (LINA), an affiliate.
Reserves held by the Company with respect to this business were $1.8 billion at
December 31, 1994 and 1993.

  The Company cedes all long-term disability business to LINA.  Reinsurance
recoverables from LINA at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $921 million and $911
million, respectively.

  The Company had lines of credit available from affiliates totaling $600
million at both December 31, 1994 and 1993.  All borrowings are payable upon
demand with interest rates equivalent to CIGNA's average monthly short-term
borrowing rate plus 1/4 of 1%.  Interest expense was $1 million for 1994 and $3
million for 1993 and 1992.  As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, there were no
borrowings outstanding under such lines.

  The Company extended lines of credit to affiliates totalling $600 million at
December 31, 1994 and 1993.  All loans are payable upon demand with interest
rates equivalent to CIGNA's  average monthly short-term borrowing rate.  As of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had $1.5 million and $2.5 million,
respectively, in outstanding loans to affiliates under such lines.

   
  The Company, together with other CIGNA subsidiaries, has entered into a
pooling arrangement known as the CIGNA Corporate Liquidity Account (the
Account) for the purpose of maximizing earnings on funds available for
short-term investments.  As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had a
balance in the Account of $259 million and $99 million, respectively.
    

  CIGNA allocates to the Company its share of operating expenses incurred at
the corporate level.  The Company also allocates a portion of its operating

The following tables show how cash value and death benefit would change over an
extended period of time assuming uniform hypothetical investment performances of
0%, 6%, and 12%. If the actual investment performance were to average 0%, 6%, or
12% but were to vary up and down over the period illustrated, the actual cash
values and death benefits would vary from those illustrated in the following
tables.
    

   
These illustrations assume that, over the period illustrated, there are no
policy loans made; no partial surrenders are made; no changes are made in the
face amount of coverage; no optional coverages, riders or benefits are
purchased;  no premium payments are made other than the monthly premiums
specified in the illustration; no allocation is made to the Fixed Account; no
transfers of cash value between Fund Accounts are made beyond 12 per year;
monthly cost of insurance charges are as illustrated during each policy year;
and the illustrations are based on the specified face amount, age, and premium
payments.
    

   
Current value illustrations use rates from Section 79 of the Internal Revenue
Code with linear interpolation between central ages, and assume the following
charges: i) mortality and expense charges of 0.45% effective annual rate
assessed daily on the aggregate cash value invested in the Fund Accounts, ii)
premium load of 3.00% applied to each premium payment as it is received, iii)
monthly administrative fees of $2.20 per month for the duration of the period
illustrated plus $1.05 per month for each month in which the Net Cash Value does
not exceed $10,000.
    

   
Guaranteed illustrations use rates equal to the maximum rates in the Policy
based on 150% of the 1980 CSO Male Mortality Table, and assume the following
charges: i) mortality and expense charges  of 0.90% effective annual rate
assessed daily on the aggregate cash value invested in the Fund Accounts, ii)
premium load of 5.00% applied to each premium payment as it is received, iii)
monthly administrative fees of $5.00 per month for the duration of the period
illustrated plus $1.00 per month for each month in which the Net Cash Value does
not exceed $10,000.
    

   
The second column of the tables shows the amount which would accumulate if an
amount equal to each premium payment illustrated were invested, and earned
interest, after taxes, at 5% per year compounded annually.
    

   
Illustrated values and benefits take into account investment management fees and
other expenses of the underlying funds. These investment management fees and
other expenses of the underlying funds are illustrated at an assumed effective
annual rate of 0.80% of the aggregate cash value in the Fund Accounts .
    

   
At present, CIGNA Variable Products Group has agreed to limit total expenses for
the investment management fees plus other expenses for the Money Market Fund to
0.70% effective annual charge and for the S&P 500 Index Fund to 0.60% effective
annual

charge. Although this agreement may end at any time, CIGNA Variable Products has
represented that this cap on expenses will continue until December 31, 1996, and
beyond that date, expenses will be as described in the then current prospectus
of the Money Market Fund and the S&P 500 Index Fund.
    

   
Investment management fees and other expenses may be more or less than the
assumed rate used for illustration purposes depending upon the allocations made
by the Certificate Owner.
    

   
The illustrations assume that no federal, state, or local income tax will be
charged to CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account A.
    

   
Taking into account the investment management fees and the other expenses of the
funds, as described above, the mortality and expense risk charges, the gross
rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 12% correspond to actual rates of return of
- -1.25%, 4.75%, and 10.75% based on the current charge for mortality and expense
risks, and to -1.70%, 4.30%, and 10.30% based on the guaranteed maximum charge
for mortality and expense risks.
    

   
Upon request, the Company will provide comparable illustrations based upon the
age of the requesting insured and illustrating the face amount and premium
payment requested by the insured. The Company will provide illustrations based
on current charges and costs of insurance as well as illustrations based on
maximum certificate charges and costs of insurance.

     (1)    Premiums are assumed to be paid monthly in arrears.
    

   
     (2)    Current value illustrations use unismoker rates with monthly cost
            of insurance as shown, and assume the following charges: i)
            mortality and expense risk charges of 0.45% effective annual
            rate assessed daily on the aggregate cash value invested in the
            Fund Accounts, ii) premium load of 3.00% applied to each premium
            payment as it is received, iii) monthly administrative fees of
            $2.20 per month for the duration of the period illustrated plus
            $1.05 per month for each month in which the Net Cash Value does
            not exceed $10,000.
    


   
     (3)    Except for the Surrender Charge, the Cash Surrender Value does not
            vary from the Cash Value because these illustrations assume that no
            Policy Loans have been made.  The Cash Surrender Value will be
            $25.00 less than the Cash Value  under the Policies for which  the
            Surrender Charge of $25.00 is applied.

            rate assessed daily on the aggregate cash value invested in the
            Fund Accounts, ii) premium load of 3.00% applied to each premium

IT IS EMPHASIZED THAT THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RATES OF RETURN SHOWN ABOVE
ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR
FUTURE INVESTMENT RATES OF RETURN.  ACTUAL RATES OF RETURN MAY BE MORE OR LESS
THAN THOSE SHOWN AND WILL DEPEND ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THE
INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS MADE BY AN OWNER AND THE INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE OF THE
PORTFOLIOS OF THE FUND. THE DEATH BENEFIT, CASH VALUE AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE
FOR A POLICY WOULD BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE SHOWN IF THE ACTUAL GROSS ANNUAL
RATES OF RETURN AVERAGED 12% OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, BUT ALSO FLUCTUATED ABOVE
OR BELOW THAT AVERAGE FOR INDIVIDUAL CERTIFICATE YEARS. THEY WOULD ALSO BE
DIFFERENT IF ANY POLICY LOANS OR PARTIAL SURRENDERS WERE MADE. NO
REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE BY THE COMPANY OR THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT OR THE
UNDERLYING FUNDS THAT THESE HYPOTHETICAL RATES OF RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR
ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.
    





   
- -------------------
    

   
    (16)    Premiums are assumed to be paid monthly in arrears.
    

   
    (17)    Guaranteed illustrations use unismoker rates with the illustrated
            cost of insurance and assume the following charges: i) mortality
            and expense risk charges of 0.90% effective annual rate assessed
            daily on the aggregate cash value invested in the Fund Accounts,
            ii) premium load of 5.00% applied to each premium payment as
            it is received, iii) monthly administrative fees of $5.00 per
            month for the duration of the period illustrated plus $1.00
            per month for each month in which the Net Cash Value does not
            exceed $10,000.
    


   
     (18)   Except for the Surrender Charge, the Cash Surrender Value does not
            vary from the Cash Value because these illustrations  assume that
            no Policy Loans have been made. The Cash Surrender Value will be
            $25.00 less than the Cash Value under Policies for which the
            Surrender Charge of $25.00 is applied.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

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

RULE 484 UNDERTAKING


The following provisions regarding the Indemnification of Directors and
Officers of the Registrant are applicable:

Connecticut Law: Except where an applicable insurance policy is procured,
Connecticut General Statutes ("C.G.S.") Section 33-320a is the sole source of
indemnification rights for directors and officers of Connecticut corporations
and for persons who may be deemed to be controlling persons by reason of their
status as a shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of a Connecticut
corporation.  Under C.G.S. Section 33-320a, a corporation shall indemnify any
director or officer who was or is a party, or was threatened to be made a
party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter referred
to as "proceeding") by virtue of the fact that he or the person whose legal
representative he is: (i) is or was a director or officer of the corporation;
(ii) while a director or an officer of the corporation, is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee,
employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise (hereinafter referred to as
"enterprise"), other than an employee benefit plan or trust; or (iii) while a
director or an officer of the corporation, is or was a director or officer
serving at the request of the corporation as a fiduciary of an employee benefit
plan or trust maintained for the benefit of employees of the corporation or any
other enterprise, against "covered expenditures" if (and only if) his conduct
met the applicable statutory eligibility standard.The types of expenditures
which are covered and the statutory eligibility standard vary according to the
type of proceeding to which the director or officer is or was a party or was
threatened to be made a party.

According to C.G.S. Section 33-320a, in non-derivative proceedings other than
ones brought in connection with an alleged claim based upon the purchase or
sale by a director or officer of securities of the corporation or of another
enterprise, which the director or officer serves or served at the request of
the corporation, the corporation shall indemnify a director or officer against
judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable
expenses,





                                       86
<PAGE>   92
including attorney's fees, actually incurred by him in connection with the
proceeding, or any appeal therein,

IF AND ONLY IF he acted (i) in good faith and (ii) in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the corporation or, in the case of a
person serving as a fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust, in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation or
in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of such employee
benefit plan or trust and consistent with the provisions of such employee
benefit plan or trust.  However, where the proceeding brought is criminal in
nature, C.G.S.  Section 33-320a requires that the director or officer must
satisfy the additional condition that he had no reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful in order to be indemnified.  A director or
officer also will be entitled to indemnification as described above if (i) he
is successful on the merits in the defense of any non-derivative proceeding
brought against him or (ii) a court shall have determined that in view of all
the circumstances he is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified. The
decision about whether the director or officer qualifies for indemnification
under C.G.S. Section 33-320a may be made (i) in writing by a majority of those
members of the board of directors who were not parties to the proceeding in
question, (ii) in writing by independent legal counsel selected by a consent in
writing signed by a majority of those directors who were not parties to the
proceeding, or (iii) by the shareholders of the corporation at a special or
annual meeting by an affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting
power of shares not owned by parties to the proceeding.  A director or officer
also may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for indemnification even
though he previously applied to the board, independent legal counsel or the
shareholders and his application for indemnification was rejected.

For purposes of C.G.S. Section 33-320a, the termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent shall not create, of itself, a presumption that the director or
officer did not act in good faith or in a manner which that director or officer
did not believe reasonably to be in the best interests of the corporation or of
the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan or trust and
consistent with the provisions of such plan or trust.

Likewise, the termination of a criminal act or proceeding shall not create, of
itself, a presumption that the director or officer had reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.

In non-derivative proceedings based on the purchase or sale of securities of
the corporation or of another enterprise, which the director or officer serves
or served at the request of the corporation, C.G.S. Section 33-320a provides
that the corporation shall indemnify the director or officer only after a court
shall have determined upon application that in view of all the circumstances,
the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified.
Furthermore, the





                                       87
<PAGE>   93
expenditures for which the director or officer shall be indemnified shall be
only such amount as the court determines to be appropriate.

Pursuant to C.G.S. Section 33-320a, where a director or officer was or is a
party or was threatened to be made a party to a derivative proceeding, the
corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the proceeding or
any appeal therein, in relation to matters as to which he is finally adjudged
not to have breached his duty to the corporation.  The corporation also shall
indemnify a director or officer where the court determines that, in view of all
the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be
indemnified; however, in such a situation, the individual shall be indemnified
only for such amount as the court determines to be appropriate.  Furthermore,
the statute provides that the corporation shall not indemnify a director or
officer for amounts paid to the corporation, to a plaintiff or to counsel for a
plaintiff in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened or pending action,
with or without court approval, or for expenses incurred in defending a
threatened action or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of
without court approval.

C.G.S. Section 33-320a also provides that expenses incurred in defending a
proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition
of such proceeding upon authorization of the board of directors, provided said
expenses are indemnifiable under the statute and the director or officer agrees
to repay such amount if he is later found not entitled to indemnification by
the corporation.

Lastly, C.G.S. Section 33-320a is intended to be an exclusive statute.  A
corporation established under Connecticut statute cannot indemnify a director
or officer (other than a director or officer who is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee
or agent of another enterprise), to an extent either greater or less than that
authorized by the statute, and any provision in the certificate of
incorporation, the by-laws, a shareholder or director resolution, or agreement
or otherwise that is inconsistent with the statute is invalid.  Notwithstanding
the above, C.G.S. Section 33-320a specifically authorizes a corporation to
procure insurance providing greater indemnification rights than those set out
in the statute the premium cost of which may be shared with the director or
officer on such basis as may be agreed upon.

The directors and officers may also be covered by an errors and omissions or
other insurance policies.  The Bylaws of CIGNA Corporation provide that any
person who at any time serves as a director or officer of the Company or any
majority owned ultimate subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation shall be indemnified or
reimbursed against and for any and all claims for which they become subject by
reason of such service.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to

directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and  Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. 
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.


   
REPRESENTATIONS, DESCRIPTION AND UNDERTAKING PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH
(b)(13)(III)(F) OF RULE 6e-3(T) UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
    

Registrant makes the following representations:

                  1.   Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(iii)(F) is being relied upon.

   
                  2.   The level of the mortality and expense risk charge is
                       within the range of industry practice for comparable
                       contracts.
    

                  3.   The Company has concluded that there is a reasonable
                       likelihood that the distribution financing arrangement
                       of the CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account A
                       (the "Separate Account") will  benefit the Separate
                       Account and the Owners.

                  4.   The Separate Account is organized as a unit  investment
                       trust which will invest only in management companies
                       which have undertaken to have a board of directors, a
                       majority of whom are not interested persons of the
                       Company, to formulate and approve any plan under Rule
                       12b-1 to finance distribution expenses.

                       The methodology used to support the representation made
                       in paragraph (2) above was based on analysis of the
                       policies including the level of other expense charges,
                       uncertainties in terms of expense and mortality factors,
                       and policy guarantees.  The Company will maintain and
                       make available to the Commission on request,memoranda
                       setting forth the basis for the representations in
                       paragraphs (2) and (3) above.

      the Company to adopt procedures regarding, among other things, criteria

                        PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT made as of this _____day of _________, 1995 by and between
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, a Connecticut Corporation ("CG"),
on its own behalf and on behalf of CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account
A ("Account"), and CIGNA Financial Advisors, Inc., a Connecticut corporation
("CFA"),

                                  WITNESSETH:

      WHEREAS, the Account was established under authority of a resolution of
CG's Board of Directors on May 22, 1995, in order to set aside and invest
assets attributable to certain variable life insurance policies ("Policies")
issued by CG;

      WHEREAS, CG has registered the Account under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 and has registered the Policies under the Securities Act of 1933;

      WHEREAS, CFA is registered as a broker/dealer with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD");

      WHEREAS, CG and the Account desire to have Policies sold and distributed
through CFA and CFA is willing to sell and distribute such Policies under the
terms stated herein; and

      WHEREAS, CFA may desire to appoint CG, the issuer of the Policies , as
its agent to receive money  in connection with the Policies and perform other
services.



      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the forefoing and the covenants
hereinafter contained, CG and CFA agree as follows:

1.    Underwriter.  CG hereby appoints CFA as Principal Distributor of the
      Policies during the term of this Agreement.   CG reserves the right,
      however, to refuse at any time or times to sell any Policies hereunder
      for any reason, and CG maintains ultimate responsibility for Policy
      underwriting.

2.    Undertakings Regarding Sales.  CFA shall use reasonable efforts to sell
      the Policies but does not agree hereby to sell any specific number of
      Policies and shall be free to act as underwriter of other securities.
      All premiums for Policies shall be held in a fiduciary capacity and
      remitted promptly (and in any event within 30 days or such shorter period
      as may be required by federal Securities law) in full together with such
      application, forms and any other required documentation to CG and CFA
      hereby appoints CG as agent of CFA to receive such premiums on CFA's
      behalf.   Checks or money orders in payment of premiums shall be drawn to
      the order of "Connecticut General Life Insurance Company".  CFA agrees to
      offer the Policies for sale in accordance with the prospectus therefor
      then in effect.   CFA is not authorized to give any
<PAGE>   3
      information or to make any representations concerning the Policies other
      than those contained in the  then current prospectus therefor filed with
      the SEC or in such sales literature as may be authorized by CG.  CG shall
      review and approve all advertising concerning the Policies.


3.    Compliance.  In connection with the sale of the Policies, CFA shall
      conform to the Rules of Fair Practice of the NASD, or any successor
      entity to the NASD, and the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which
      it sells, directly or indirectly, any Policies.  CFA shall take
      reasonable steps to ensure that its associated persons sell Policies to
      persons for whom the Policy is suitable.   CFA agrees to make timely
      filings with the SEC, the NASD, or any successor entity to the NASD, and
      such other regulatory authorities as may be required of any sales
      literature relating to the Policies and intended for distribution to
      prospective investors.   CFA also agrees to furnish to CG sufficient
      copies of any agreements or plans it intends to use in connection with
      any sales of Policies and to obtain CG's approval in advance of using
      such agreements or plans.  CFA further agrees to provide information or
      reports with respect to its services hereunder pursuant to request by any
      regulatory authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto, in order
      that such regulatory authority may ascertain whether CG's variable life
      insurance operations are being conducted in a manner consistent with
      applicable laws and regulations.

4.    Registration and Qualification of Policies.  CG agrees to execute such
      papers and to do such acts and things as shall from time-to-time be
      reasonably requested by CFA for the purpose of qualifying and maintaining
      qualifications of the Policies for sale under applicable state law and
      for maintaining the registration of the Account and interests therein
      under the federal Securities Act of 1933 and the federal Investment
      Company Act of 1940, as amended; to the end that there will be available
      for sale from time-to-time such amount of the Policies as CFA, and any
      independent broker-dealers contracting with CFA and CG, may reasonably be
      expected to sell.  CG shall advise CFA promptly of (a) any action of the
      SEC or any authorities of any state or territory, of which it may be
      advised, affecting registration or qualification of the Account, or
      rights to offer the Policies for sale, and (b) the happening of any event
      which makes untrue any statement or which requires the making of any
      change in the registration statement or prospectus in order to make the
      statements therein not misleading.

5.    CFA Independent Contractor.  CFA shall be an independent contractor.  CFA
      is responsible for its own conduct and the employment, control and
      conduct of its agents and employees and for injury to such agents or
      employees or to others through its agent or employees.  CFA assumes full
      responsibility for its agents and employees under applicable statutes and
      agrees to pay all employer taxes thereunder.  All persons selling
      Policies shall be duly licensed as insurance producers pursuant to
      applicable state laws, and CG shall have responsibility for arranging for
      such licensing.
<PAGE>   4
      CFA and CG may, jointly, enter into consulting and/or wholesaling
      agreements with broker-dealer/distributors to obtain assistance in
      locating independent broker-dealers who are willing to enter into sales
      agreements for the sale of the Policies.  In addition  CFA and CG may,
      jointly, enter into sales agreements with other independent
      broker-dealers for the sale of Policies.

      Notwithstanding the above, CG expressly reserves to itself the ultimate
      responsibility and authority for direction and control of the
      underwriting services provided hereunder and ultimate control over  who
      markets  the Policies; including the ultimate right to appoint agents and
      broker-dealers selling Policies, and to terminate an agent and/or
      broker-dealer, once appointed.

6.    Expenses Paid by CG.  While CFA continues to act as agent of CG to obtain
      subscriptions for and to sell Policies, and provided CFA receives no
      commission for the sale of the Policies,  CG shall pay the following:

      (a)   all expenses of printing and distributing any prospectus for use in
      offering the Policies for sale, and all other copies of any such
      prospectus used by CFA in meeting its obligations as a registered
      broker-dealer and

      (b)   all other expenses of advertising and of preparing, printing or
      distributing all other literature or material for use in connection with
      offering the Policies for sale.

7.    Interests in and of CFA.  It is understood that any of the policyholders,
      directors, officers, employees and agents of CG may be a shareholder,
      director, officer, employee or agent of, or be otherwise interested in,
      CFA, any affiliated person of CFA, any organization in which CFA may have
      an interest or any organization which may have an interest in CFA; that
      CFA, any such affiliated person or any such organization may have an
      interest in CG; and that the existence of any such dual interest shall
      not affect the validity hereof or of any transaction hereunder except as
      otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of CG and
      CFA respectively, or by specific provision of applicable law.

8.    Compensation for Sales of Policies and Appointment of CG as Agent of CFA.

      (a)   For sales of the Policies by associated persons of CFA and the
      continuing obligations of CFA set forth herein, CG shall pay to the
      associated persons of CFA on behalf of CFA the commissions set forth in
      Schedule A to this Agreement, as such Schedule may be amended from
      time-to-time.  For Policies sold under agreements that CFA enters into
      with other broker-dealers on behalf of CFA, CG shall pay the commissions
      set forth in Schedule B to this Agreement, as such Schedule may be
      amended from time-to-time.

      (b)   CG agrees to maintain all required books of account and related
      financial records on behalf of CFA.   All such books and records shall be
<PAGE>   5
      maintained and preserved pursuant to Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 under the
      Securities Exchange Act (or the corresponding provisions of any future
      federal securities laws or regulations).  In addition, CG agrees to
      maintain records of all sales commissions paid to the associated persons
      of CFA and any other broker-dealers pursuant to paragraph (a) above for
      the sale of the Policies.   All such books and records shall be owned by
      and under the control of CG.   CG also agrees to send to CFA's customers
      all required confirmations of customer transactions, and on behalf of CFA
      to pay all sales commissions due and payable to the associated persons of
      CFA and/or to other broker-dealers duly authorized by CFA to sell the
      Policies.

9.    Indemnification.

      (a)   CG agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CFA and each director or
      officer thereof and each person, if any, who is associated with CFA
      within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against any and
      all loss, liability, claims, damage, and expenses whatsoever (including
      any and all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating or defending
      against any litigation commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever)
      arising out of any untrue or alleged untrue registration statement, or
      sales material relating to the Policies prepared by CG or supplied to CFA
      by CG or in any application ("application") filed in any state in order
      to qualify the same for sale or the omission or alleged omission
      therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
      therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
      misleading.

      (b)   CFA agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CG and each director or
      officer thereof, and each person, if any who controls CG within the
      meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, its agents, subsidiaries and
      employees, against any and all loss, liability, claims, damages, and
      expense whatsoever (including but not limited to any and all expenses
      reasonably incurred in investigating or defending against any litigation
      commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever) arising out of any
      untrue or alleged untrue statement or representations made (except as
      such statements may be made in reliance on the prospectus, registration
      statement and sales material supplied by CG), the failure to deliver a
      currently effective prospectus (provided that CFA shall be entitled to
      rely on representations by CG as to which prospectus is currently
      effective at any point in time and CFA shall not be liable for delivering
      a prospectus that is not currently effective at the time of delivery
      thereof due to a misrepresentation of the currency thereof by CG or other
      failure by CG to notify CFA that such prospectus was no longer effective)
      or the use of any unauthorized sales literature by CFA (or its employees
      or associated persons), in connection with the sale of the Policies.

      (c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this section
      of notice of the commencement of any such litigation or claim, such
      indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
      against the indemnifying party under this section, notify the
      indemnifying part of the
<PAGE>   6
      commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying
      party will not relieve it from any liability, which it may have to any
      indemnified party otherwise than under this Section.   In case any such
      litigation or claim is brought against any indemnified party and it
      notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
      indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
      extent that it may wish, assume the defense thereof, with counsel
      satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the
      indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume
      the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
      indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses
      subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
      defense thereof other than the reasonable cost of investigation.

10.   Liability.  Each party shall be liable for its own misconduct and
      negligence hereunder.

11.   Effective Date and Termination.  This Agreement shall become effective as
      of the date of its execution and delivery, and:

      (a)   shall continue in force from year-to-year thereafter, subject to
      prior termination as provided herein;

      (b)   may at any time be terminated on sixty days' written notice to CFA
      by CG;

      (c)   may at any time be terminated by CG if CFA fails to perform in a
      satisfactory manner;

      (d)   shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignments by
      CFA and shall not be assignable by CG except with written consent of CFA.

      (e)   may be terminated by CFA on sixty days' written notice to CG.

      Termination of this agreement pursuant to this section shall be without
      payment of any penalty.  In the event of termination for any reason, CG
      shall retain all records relating hereto, free from any claim or
      retention of rights by CFA.

12.   Confidentiality.  CFA agrees not to disclose or use any records or
      information obtained hereunder in any manner whatever except as expressly
      authorized herein, and will keep confidential any information obtained
      pursuant hereto, and disclose such information only if CG has authorized
      such disclosure, or if such disclosure is expressly required by
      applicable state or federal regulatory authorities.

13.   Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended only by mutual consent of the
      parties by an instrument in writing.
<PAGE>   7
14.   Applicable Law and Liabilities.  This Agreement is executed and delivered
      in the State of Connecticut and shall be governed by and construed in

      made, and title to the Policies shall pass, in Bloomfield, Connecticut.

This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable provisions of law, including,
without limitation, the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act of
1940.  To the extent that any provisions hereunder contained conflict with any
applicable provisions of law, the latter shall control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the

                               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.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

ENTIRE CONTRACT.  The entire contract will be made up of the Policy, the
application of the Policyholder, a copy of which is attached to the Policy, the
Certificate(s), the Coverage Verification Pages, any Policy or Certificate
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
effective date, is in conflict with the laws of the state where it is
delivered, is amended to conform to the minimum requirements of such laws.

LIFE INSURANCE (CONTINUED)

AMOUNTS EXCEEDING THE GUARANTEED ISSUE AMOUNT
  If the Coverage Amount initially elected for an Insured is higher than the
  Guaranteed Issue Amount, he will become insured for the amount that exceeds
  the Guaranteed Issue Amount only if he satisfies the Insurability Requirement
  for that amount.  Premiums paid for coverage in excess of the 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

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.]

   
  When a Certificate Owner otherwise increases or decreases the Coverage Amount
  to an amount which is not a whole multiple of Annual Compensation, the
  Automatic Increase Feature will be terminated.
    

  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

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 Net 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.

CHANGES IN COVERAGE AMOUNT (CONTINUED)

   
INCREASES DUE TO MINIMUM COVERAGE AMOUNT 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  Coverage
  Amount 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  Coverage Amount 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.

  or (b) the date his completed and signed application is received by the
  Company.

  If coverage is elected for [an Insured Employee, an Insured Spouse or a

  become insured for the amount that exceeds the Guaranteed Issue Amount on the
  date the Company agrees in writing to insure him for that amount.  The
  Company will require him to satisfy the Insurability Requirement before it
  agrees to insure him for the higher amount.

  If coverage is elected more than 31 days after [an Insured Employee, Insured
  Spouse, Insured Dependent Child, or Retiree] becomes eligible, he will become
  insured on the date the Company agrees in writing to insure him.  The Company
  will require him to satisfy the Insurability Requirement before the Company
  agrees to insure him for any amount.

INSURED EMPLOYEE
  If an Employee is not in Active Service on the date his insurance would
  otherwise begin, he will become insured on the date he returns to Active
  Service.  If an Employee does not return to Active Service within 90 days
  from the date the Company receives the completed original application, a new
  application, and new evidence of good health acceptable to the Company will
  be required.

[INSURED SPOUSE
  If, on the date insurance would otherwise become effective, a Spouse:
     1.   is hospitalized; or
     2.   is confined at home under the care of a medical doctor for sickness
          or injury; and/or

  under 1, 2, 3, and 4 (above) have ended.  If all of these conditions have not
  ended within 90 days from the date the Company receives the completed
  original application, a new application and new evidence of good health
  acceptable to the Company will be required.]

  later of: (a) the date the Child is 15 days old; or (b) in the case of
  adoption, the first day of any waiting period prior to the finalization of
  the Child's adoption.  Notice must be given to the Company within 31 days of
  birth or adoption.]

[FORMER INSURED DEPENDENT CHILD
  If an Insured Dependent Child elects to be insured as a Former Insured
  Dependent Child, his insurance will become effective on the date his coverage
  as an Insured Dependent Child ceases, provided the required premium is paid
  to the Company within 15 days of such date.

  If an Insured Dependent Child does not elect to be insured as a Former
  Insured Dependent Child within 90 days after he becomes eligible, he will not
  be eligible to elect this coverage at a later date.

  If, on the date he becomes insured as a Former Insured Dependent Child, he:
  (a) is hospitalized; and/or (b) is confined at home under the care of a
  medical doctor for sickness or injury, he will not be insured for any
  Coverage Amount in excess of his existing Coverage Amount until the day after
  all of the conditions described under (a) and (b) have ended.

  In addition, an Insured Dependent Child, whose insurance as a Dependent Child
  has not yet ceased, has the option to elect to be insured as a Former Insured
  Dependent Child instead of being insured as an Insured Dependent Child,
  provided he is at least [22] years of age.  The Effective Date of Insurance
  for such Former Insured Dependent Child will be the later of: (a) the first
  day of the month after he elects the coverage as a Former Insured Dependent
  Child; or (b) the date the required premium is paid to the Company.]

[FORMER INSURED SPOUSE
  For the purpose of determining the Effective Date of Insurance for a Spouse
  who is not insured on the date the Insured Employee becomes a Former Insured

  Insured Employee, the provisions shown for an Insured Spouse in the Effective
  Date of Insurance section will apply.]

  becomes eligible as a Retiree, his insurance will become effective on the
  later of: (a) the date he becomes eligible; or (b) the date the completed and
  signed application is received by the Company.

  If the Owner does not elect to insure the Retiree within 31 days after he
  becomes eligible as a Retiree, the Owner may not elect this coverage at a
  later date.]

  Employee applies to return to Insured Employee status more than 31 days after
  his return to Active Service, he must satisfy the Insurability Requirement

LIFE INSURANCE BENEFIT

DEATH BENEFIT
  If an Insured dies, the Company will pay the Death Benefit in effect on the
  date of death.  The Death Benefit will be paid in a lump sum to the Insured's
  Beneficiary as soon as due proof of death is received by the Company.  The
  Death Benefit will be an amount equal to the greater of:
     - the Insured's Coverage Amount on the date of death plus the Net Cash
       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 the
  Policy.

  If proceeds are not paid within 30 days of receipt of due proof of death, the
  Company will pay interest from the date of death to the date of payment at
  the rate of [X%] or any other rate required by law.

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 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.

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.

<PAGE>   34
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.

FUND ACCOUNT PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)

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.

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.

<PAGE>   36
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.

  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.





XX605482                               49                             12/20/95

<PAGE>   38
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;





XX605482                               50                             12/20/95

<PAGE>   39
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 Certificate's
  Net Cash Value is greater than $10,000.





XX605482                               51                             12/20/95

<PAGE>   40
CERTIFICATE VALUE PROVISIONS

MONTHLY DEDUCTION (CONTINUED)
  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.

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.





XX605482                               52                             12/20/95

<PAGE>   41
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.





XX605482                               53                             12/20/95

<PAGE>   42
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.





XX605482                               54                             12/20/95

SURRENDERS, LOANS AND REINSTATEMENT PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)

REINSTATEMENT
  If an Insured's coverage has Lapsed, it may be reinstated at any time prior
  to three years after the date of Lapse if:
     - the Insured's Certificate has not been Surrendered; and
     - a written request for Reinstatement and a new application form are sent
       to the Company; and
     - at his own expense, satisfactory evidence of good health is submitted to
       the Company; and
     - premiums are paid equal to two times the Monthly Deduction; and
     - the Current Outstanding Loan Balance plus interest accrued from date of
       Lapse is reinstated if not paid.

  The effective date of the reinstated coverage will be the date the Company
  agrees in writing to accept the Insured.

  If an Insured's coverage Lapses while on an Employer-approved leave of
  absence under the Family and Medical Leave Act, it may be reinstated within
  31 days of returning to Active Service without providing evidence of good
  health.  Reinstatement will be subject to new incontestability and suicide
  periods.

       was insured, if no continuation is specifically provided for in the
       Continuation section of the Policy; or
     - the date of death of the Insured.

  If the Policy terminates or the Insured ceases to qualify for his Eligible
  Class, and continuation of coverage is not specifically provided for in the
  Continuation Provisions, the Insured's coverage may be converted as provided
  in the Conversion Privilege section.  If the Insured's coverage Lapses or is
  Surrendered, neither Continuation nor Conversion is available.

  [The insurance on an Insured Dependent Child will cease on the earliest date

       Certificate of Insurance under which the Dependent Child is insured;
       or
     - the date the Owner terminates the coverage for the Insured Dependent
       Child; or
     - the first of the month after the date the Insured Dependent Child is no
       longer eligible for the insurance as a Dependent Child; or
     - the date the Insured Dependent Child becomes the Owner of his own Group
       Variable Universal Life Insurance Certificate; or
     - the date of death of the Insured Dependent Child.]

POLICY TERMINATION
  The Employer may terminate the Policy by giving the Company written notice 60
  days before the termination date.  The Company may terminate the Policy by
  giving the Employer written notice 60 days before the termination date.

  The Employer will give written notice of termination to the Owners at least
  31 days before the termination date.  No additional persons will be insured
  under the Policy after the termination date; however, persons insured under
  the Policy on the termination date may continue their coverage as provided
  for in the Continuation section.    All premium payments will then be payable
  directly to the Company.

  Notwithstanding the above, [an Insured Employee, Former Insured Employee,
  Insured Spouse, and Former Insured Spouse] who continues his coverage after
  termination of the Policy may insure his Dependent Child(ren), subject to the
  terms and conditions set forth herein.

  The Employer will furnish all necessary data to the Company, including the
  current addresses for all Insureds, as of 31 days prior to termination, and
  shall continue to provide the Company any information and data which the
  Company reasonably determines it may need to meet its obligations under the
  Policy until such obligations are ended.

[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
  days after his coverage under the Policy terminates:
     - life insurance benefits will not be paid under the Policy; and
     - life insurance benefits will be paid under the conversion insurance,
       provided: (a) the Insured's application for conversion insurance has
       been received by the Company; and

OWNERSHIP AND ASSIGNMENT PROVISIONS

OWNER
  Unless otherwise specified on the application or unless Ownership is
  transferred in accordance with the provisions of the Policy:
     - the [Insured Employee] will be the Owner of the coverage for himself,
       [his Insured Spouse, his Former Insured Spouse, and his Insured
       Dependent Child, if any;]
  [  - the Former Insured Dependent Child will be the Owner of the coverage for
       himself; and
     - the Former Insured Employee, Retiree, and Leave of Absence Employee
       will be the Owner of the coverage for himself, his Former Insured
       Spouse, and his Insured Dependent Child, if any].

RIGHTS OF OWNER
  While an Insured is alive, the Owner may exercise all rights and privileges
  under the Certificate, including the right to:  (a) release or Surrender the
  Certificate to the Company; (b) agree with the Company to any change in the
  Certificate; (c) transfer all rights and privileges to another person; (d)
  change the Beneficiary; and (e) assign his Certificate.

  All rights and privileges of the Owner may be exercised without the consent
  of any designated Beneficiary, unless the Owner has given up the right to
  change the Beneficiary.

  Unless provided otherwise, if the Owner is a person other than the Insured
  and dies before the Insured, all the rights and privileges of the Owner will
  vest in the Owner's executors or administrators.

TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP
  The Owner may transfer all his rights and privileges by Assignment to a third
  party.  On the effective date of transfer, that third party will become the
  Owner and will have all the rights and privileges of the Owner.  The Owner
  may revoke any transfer prior to its effective date.

  Unless provided otherwise, a transfer will not affect the interest of any
  Beneficiary designated prior to the effective date of the transfer.

  A transfer of ownership or a revocation of transfer must be in writing in a
  form satisfactory to the Company and filed with the Company.  A transfer or a
  revocation will take effect on the later of the effective date specified by
  the Owner or the date it is recorded by the Company.  Any payment made or any
  action taken or allowed by the Company before a transfer or a revocation is
  recorded and effective, will be without prejudice to the Company.  The
  Company does not assume responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of any
  Assignment.

<PAGE>   52
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.

<PAGE>   53
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>   54
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
  preserve the qualification of the Policy as a life insurance policy under the
  Internal Revenue Code.

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 Certificate Coverage Verification Pages.

ELECTION OF OPTION
   At any time after a Cash Value has accumulated under the Certificate, the
   Owner may elect:
     -  to use a portion of the Net Cash Value to purchase Paid-up Insurance;
        or
     -  to Surrender his Certificate and use all of the Net Cash Value, 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 amount
   Surrendered, less applicable transaction fees, as a single premium, 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 Coverage Amount under the Insured's Certificate will be reduced by the
   amount of Paid-Up insurance purchased under this rider at the time such
   Paid-Up Insurance becomes effective.
    

   The Paid-up Insurance will be payable as set forth in the payment provisions
   in the Paid-up Insurance Policy.

the Fund which each Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at
the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of
the order for the shares of the Fund.  For purposes of this Section 1.1. the
Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each

Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net asset
value pursuant to the rules of the  Commission.




            1.2.  The Fund agrees to make its shares available indefinitely for
purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company and its
Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its net asset value
pursuant to rules of the  Commission and the Fund shall use reasonable efforts

will be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate
accounts and to qualified pension and retirement plans.  No shares of any
Portfolio will be sold to the general public.

            1.4.  The Fund and the Underwriter will not sell Fund shares to any

request for redemption on the next following Business Day.  Payment shall be in

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

followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income, dividends or
capital gain distributions payable on the Fund's shares.  The Company hereby
elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions as
are payable on the Portfolio shares in additional shares of that Portfolio.

income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.  The Fund shall notify

warrant that all of its directors, officers, employees, investment advisers,
and other individuals/entities dealing with the money and/or securities of the
Fund are and shall continue to be at all times covered by a blanket fidelity
bond or similar coverage for the benefit of the Fund in an amount not less than

            3.1. The Fund  shall provide the Company with as many printed
copies of the Fund's current prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
as the Company may reasonably request.  If requested by the Company in lieu
thereof, the Fund shall provide camera-ready copy  or computer diskettes
containing the Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and
such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company once
each year (or more frequently if the prospectus and/or Statement of Additional
Information for the Fund is amended or supplemented during the year) to have
the prospectus for the Contracts and the Fund's prospectus printed together in
one document, and to have the Statement of Additional Information if
applicable,  for the Fund and the Statement of Additional Information for the
Contracts printed together in one document.  Alternatively, the Company may
print the Fund's prospectus and/or its Statement of Additional Information in
combination with other fund companies' prospectuses and statements of

<PAGE>   7
distributing Fund prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information shall
be the expense of the Company. For prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information provided by the Company to its existing owners of Contracts in
order to update disclosure as required by the 1933 Act and/or the 1940 Act, the
cost of printing shall be borne by the Fund. The cost of preparing, printing
and shipping of the prospectuses, proxy materials, periodic fund reports and
other materials of the Fund to the Company shall be paid by the Fund; provided,
however, that if at any time the Fund or its agent reasonably deems the usage
by the Company of such items to be excessive, it may, prior to the delivery of
any quantity of materials in excess of what is deemed reasonable, request that
the Company demonstrate the reasonableness of such usage. If the reasonableness
of such usage has not been adequately demonstrated, the Fund may request that
the Company pay the cost of printing and delivery of any excess copies of such
materials.  If the Company chooses to receive camera-ready copy  or computer
diskettes in lieu of receiving printed copies of the Fund's prospectus, the
Fund will reimburse the Company in an amount equal to the product of A and B
where A is the number of such prospectuses distributed to owners of the
Contracts, and B is the Fund's per unit cost of typesetting and printing the
Fund's prospectus.  The same procedures shall be followed with respect to the
Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

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

            3.2. The Fund's prospectus shall state that the Statement of
Additional Information for the Fund is available from the Fund, Underwriter or
the Company .

Information, which are covered in Section 3.1) to shareholders in such quantity
as the Company shall reasonably require for distributing to Contract owners.

            3.4. If and to the extent required by  law the Company shall:
                (i)     solicit voting instructions from Contract owners:
                (ii)    vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions
                        received from Contract owners; and
                (iii)   vote Fund shares for which no instructions have been
                        received in a particular separate account in the same
                        proportion as Fund shares of such portfolio for which
                        instructions have been received in that separate
                        account,

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

            3.5. The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act
requiring voting
<PAGE>   8
by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either provide for annual
meetings or comply with Section 16) of the 1940 Act (although the Fund is not
one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of that Act) to the extent
applicable.  Further, the Fund will act in accordance with the  Commission's
interpretation of the  requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic
elections of trustees and with whatever rules the Commission may promulgate
with respect thereto.

            3.6  The Company will vote the shares of the Fund held by the
Company in the Separate Account in accordance with written instructions
received from certificate or policy owners. The Company will vote shares for
which it has not received instructions, as well as shares attributable to the
Company, in the same proportion as it votes shares for which it has received
instructions.

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


                       ARTICLE VII.  Potential Conflicts


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                         ARTICLE VIII.  Indemnification



            8..  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and
the Underwriter and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Fund and the Underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.2) against any Losses to
which the Indemnified Parties may become subject, insofar as such losses result
from a breach by the Company  of this Agreement. The Company will reimburse any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in
connection with investigating or defending any such Losses. The Company shall
not be liable for indemnification hereunder if such Losses are attributable to
the negligence or misconduct of the Fund or the Underwriter in performing their
obligations under this Agreement.

            8.2. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party hereunder of
notice of the commencement of action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party hereunder,
notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 8. In
case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies
the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will
be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish to,
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party
of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not
be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 8 for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation.

            8.3. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such
action, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified parties in such action, settle or compromise the liability of
the indemnified parties in such action, or permit a default or consent to the
entry of any judgement in respect thereof, unless in connection with such
settlement, compromise or consent, each Indemnified Party receives from such
claimant an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim.



                          ARTICLE IX.  Applicable Law


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

            9.2. This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the 1933
Act, the 1934 Act, and the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations and rulings
thereunder, including such exemptions from those statutes, rules and
regulations as the Securities and Exchange Commission may grant (including, but
not limited to, the Mixed and Shared Funding
<PAGE>   13
Exemptive Order) and the terms hereof shall be interpreted and construed in
accordance therewith.



                            ARTICLE X.  Termination


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

       (a)  termination by any party for any reason by 6 months' advance
            written notice delivered to the other parties; or

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

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

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

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

       10.2.    Effect of Termination.  Notwithstanding any termination of the
Agreement, the Fund and the Underwriter shall at the option of the Company,
continue to make available additional shares of the Fund pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, for all Contracts in effect on the effective
date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing
Contracts").  Specifically, without limitation, the owners of the Existing
Contracts shall be permitted to reallocate investments in the Fund, redeem
investments in the Fund and/or invest in the Fund upon the making of additional
purchase payments under the Existing Contracts.  The parties agree that
continuation of availability to existing contracts shall not apply if
proscribed by law or the SEC or other regulatory body.

       Any notice shall be sufficiently given when sent by registered or

business trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
(hereinafter the "Fund") and FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS CORPORATION (hereinafter the

          WHEREAS, the Fund engages in business as an open-end management
investment company and is available to act as the investment vehicle for
separate accounts established for variable life insurance policies and variable

offered by insurance companies which have entered into participation agreements
with the Fund and the Underwriter (hereinafter "Participating Insurance
Companies"); and

          WHEREAS, the beneficial interest in the Fund is divided into several
series of shares, each representing the interest in a particular managed
portfolio of securities and other assets, any one or more of which may be made
available under this Agreement, as may be amended from time to time by mutual
agreement of the parties hereto (each such series hereinafter referred to as a
"Portfolio"); and

          WHEREAS, the Fund has obtained an order from the Securities and
Exchange Commission, dated October 15, 1985 (File No. 812-6102), granting
Participating Insurance Companies and variable annuity and variable life

13(a), 15(a), and 15(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
(hereinafter the " 1940 Act") and Rules 6e-2(b) (15) and 6e-3(T) (b) (15)
thereunder, to the extent necessary to permit shares of the Fund to be sold to

life insurance companies (hereinafter the "Shared Funding Exemptive Order");
and

          WHEREAS, the Fund is registered as an open-end management investment
company under the 1940 Act and its shares are registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (hereinafter the "1933 Act"); and

          WHEREAS, Fidelity Management & Research Company (the "Adviser") is

          WHEREAS, the Company has registered or will register certain variable
life insurance and variable annuity contracts under the 1933 Act; and

          WHEREAS, each Account is a duly organized, validly existing
segregated asset account, established by resolution of the Board of Directors
of the Company, on the date shown for such Account on Schedule A hereto, to set
aside and invest assets attributable to the aforesaid variable annuity
contracts; and

          WHEREAS, the Company has registered or will register each Account as
a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act; and

          WHEREAS, the Underwriter is registered as a broker dealer with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, (hereinafter the " 1934 Act"), and is a member in good
standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (hereinafter
"NASD"); and

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

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


                         ARTICLE I. Sale of Fund Shares

          1.1.  The Underwriter agrees to sell to the Company those shares of
the Fund which each Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at
the net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of
the order for the shares of the Fund.  For purposes of this Section 1.1, the
Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each
Account and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund;
provided that the Fund receives notice of such order by 9:30 a.m. Boston time
on the next following Business Day.  "Business Day" shall mean any day on which
the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading





                                       2
<PAGE>   21
and on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant to the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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

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

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

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

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





                                       3
<PAGE>   22
make such other investment company available as a funding vehicle for the
Contracts; or (c) such other investment company either is listed on Schedule C
hereto or was available as a funding vehicle for the Contracts prior to the
date of this Agreement and the Company so informs the Fund and Underwriter
prior to their signing this Agreement (a list of such funds appearing on
Schedule C to this Agreement); or (d) the Fund or Underwriter consents to the
use of such other investment company.

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

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

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

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


                 ARTICLE 11.  Representations and Warranties

          2.1.  The Company represents and warrants that the Contracts are or
will be registered under the 1933 Act; that the Contracts will be issued and
sold in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Federal and
State laws and that the sale of the Contracts shall comply in all material
respects with state insurance suitability requirements.  The Company further
represents and warrants that it is an insurance company duly organized and in
good standing under applicable law and that it has legally and validly
established each Account prior to any issuance or sale thereof as a segregated
asset account under Section 38a-433 of the Connecticut General Statutes and has
registered or, prior to any issuance or sale of the Contracts, will register
each Account as a unit investment trust in accordance with the provisions of
the 1940 Act to serve as a segregated investment account for the Contracts.





                                       4
<PAGE>   23
          2.2.  The Fund represents and warrants that Fund shares sold pursuant
to this Agreement shall be registered under the 1933 Act, duly authorized for
issuance and sold in compliance with the laws of the State of Connecticut and
all applicable federal and state securities laws and that the Fund is and shall
remain registered under the 1940 Act.  The Fund shall amend the Registration
Statement for its shares under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act from time to time
as required in order to effect the continuous offering of its shares.  The Fund
shall register and qualify the shares for sale in accordance with the laws of
the various states only if and to the extent deemed advisable by the Fund or
the Underwriter.

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

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

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

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

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





                                       5
<PAGE>   24
          2.8.  The Fund represents that it is lawfully organized and validly
existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that it does
and will comply in all material respects with the 1940 Act.

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

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

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


            ARTICLE 111.  Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting

          3.1.  The Underwriter shall provide the Company with as many printed
copies of the Fund's current prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
as the Company may reasonably request.  If requested by the Company in lieu
thereof, the Fund shall provide camera-ready film or computer diskettes
containing the Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and
such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company once
each year (or more frequently if the prospectus and/or Statement of Additional
Information for the Fund is amended during the year) to have the prospectus for
the Contracts and the Fund's prospectus printed together in one document, and
to have the Statement of Additional Information for the Fund and the Statement
of Additional Information for the Contracts printed together in one document.
Alternatively, the Company may print the Fund's prospectus and/or its Statement
of Additional Information in combination with other fund companies'
prospectuses and statements of additional information.  Except as provided in
the following three sentences, all expenses of printing and distributing Fund
prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information shall be the expense of
the Company.  For prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information
provided by the Company to its existing owners of Contracts in order to update
disclosure as required by the 1933 Act and/or the 1940 Act, the cost of
printing shall be borne by the Fund.  If





                                       6
<PAGE>   25
the Company chooses to receive camera-ready film or computer diskettes in lieu
of receiving printed copies of the Fund's prospectus, the Fund will reimburse
the Company in an amount equal to the product of A and B where A is the number
of such prospectuses distributed to owners of the Contracts, and B is the
Fund's per unit cost of typesetting and printing the Fund's prospectus.  The
same procedures shall be followed with respect to the Fund's Statement of
Additional Information.

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

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

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

          3.4.  If and to the extent required by law the Company shall:
                 (i)     solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;

                 (ii)    vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions
                         received from Contract owners; and
                
                (iii)    vote Fund shares for which no instructions have been
                         received in a particular separate account in the same
                         proportion as Fund shares of such portfolio for which
                         instructions have been received in that separate
                         account,

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

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





                                       7
<PAGE>   26

requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic elections of trustees
and with whatever rules the Commission may promulgate with respect thereto.


                  ARTICLE IV.  Sales Material and Information

          4.1.  The Company shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to
the Fund or its designee, each piece of sales literature or other promotional

Business Days after receipt of such material.

          4.2.  The Company shall not give any information or make any
representations or statements on behalf of the Fund or concerning the Fund in

Fund shares, as such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, or in reports or proxy statements for the Fund,
or in sales literature or other promotional material approved by the Fund or
its designee or by the Underwriter, except with the permission of the Fund or
the Underwriter or the designee of either.

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

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

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

                                       8
<PAGE>   27

exemptions, requests for no action letters, and all amendments to any of the
above, that relate to the Contracts or each Account, contemporaneously with the
filing of such document with the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

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

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

                          ARTICLE V. Fees and Expenses

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

available to the Underwriter.  No such payments shall be made directly by the
Fund.  Currently, no such payments are contemplated.

          5.2.  All expenses incident to performance by the Fund under this
Agreement shall be paid by the Fund.  The Fund shall see to it that all its

                          ARTICLE VI.  Diversification





                                       9
<PAGE>   28

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


                       ARTICLE VII.  Potential Conflicts

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

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

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





                                       10
<PAGE>   29
segregation, or offering to the affected contract owners the option of making
such a change; and (2), establishing a new registered management investment
company or managed separate account.

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

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

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

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





                                       11
<PAGE>   30
7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect only to the
extent that terms and conditions substantially identical to such Sections are
contained in such Rule(s) as so amended or adopted.

                         ARTICLE VIII.  Indemnification

          8.1.  Indemnification By The Company

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

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

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

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

          made in reliance upon information furnished to the Fund by or on
          behalf of the Company; or

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

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

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

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

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

          8.2.  Indemnification by the Underwriter

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          8.3. Indemnification By the Fund

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

<PAGE>   34
                (i)   arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to provide
                      the services and furnish the materials under the terms of
                      this Agreement (including a failure to comply with the
                      diversification requirements specified in Article VI of
                      this Agreement); or

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

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

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

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

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

          9.2.  This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the 1933,
1934 and 1940 acts, and the rules and regulations and rulings thereunder,

and construed in accordance therewith.


                             ARTICLE X. Termination

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

          (a)   termination by any party for any reason by 60 days advance
                written notice delivered to the other parties; or

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

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

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

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

          (f)   termination by the Underwriter by written notice to the
                Company, if the Underwriter determines, in its sole judgment
                exercised in good faith, that the Company, or the Company and
                its affiliated companies taken as a whole, has suffered a
                material adverse change in its business, operations, financial
                condition or prospects since the date of this Agreement or is
                the subject of material adverse publicity;

                however, before the Underwriter may terminate the Agreement
                under this subparagraph (f) on account of material adverse
                publicity, the following





                                       17
<PAGE>   36
                procedures shall apply: (i) the Underwriter shall notify the
                Company, in writing, of the reason or reasons it intends to
                terminate the Agreement for the prospective termination, in
                sufficient detail for the Company to respond to the
                Underwriter's specific concerns; (ii) the Company shall then
                have three (3) business days in which to formulate and submit a
                written response to the Underwriter; and (iii) the Company may,
                if it desires, meet in person with the Underwriter at a time
                and place designated by the Underwriter for a discussion of the
                issues.

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

          (h)   termination by the Fund or the Underwriter by written notice to
                the Company, if the Company gives the Fund and the Underwriter
                the written notice specified in Section 1.6(b) hereof and at
                the time such notice was given there was no notice of
                termination outstanding under any other provision of this
                Agreement; provided, however any termination under this Section
                10.1 (h) shall be effective forty five (45) days after the
                notice specified in Section 1.6(b) was given.

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

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

                                   SCHEDULE B
                             PROXY VOTING PROCEDURE


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

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

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

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

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

4.      The text and format for the Voting Instruction Cards ("Cards" or
        "Card") is provided to the Company by the Fund.  The Company, at its
        expense, shall produce and personalize the Voting Instruction Cards.
        The Legal Department of the Underwriter or its affiliate ("Fidelity
        Legal") must approve the Card before it is printed.  Allow
        approximately 2-4 business days for printing information on the Cards.
        Information commonly found on the Cards includes:
               a.    name (legal name as found on account registration)
               b.    address
               c.    Fund or account number
               d.    coding to state number of units
               e.    individual Card number for use in tracking and
                     verification of votes (already on Cards as printed by the
                     Fund)

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





                                       23
<PAGE>   42
5.      During this time, Fidelity Legal will develop, produce, and the Fund
        will pay for the Notice of Proxy and the Proxy Statement (one
        document).  Printed and folded notices and statements will be sent to
        Company for insertion into envelopes (envelopes and return envelopes
        are provided and paid for by the Insurance Company).  Contents of
        envelope sent to Customers by Company will include:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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





                                       24
<PAGE>   43
10.     If Cards are mutilated, or for any reason are illegible or are not
        signed properly, they are sent back to Customer with an explanatory
        letter, a new Card and return envelope.  The mutilated or illegible
        Card is disregarded and considered to be not received for purposes of
        vote tabulation.  Any Cards that have "kicked out" (e.g. mutilated,
        illegible) of the procedure are "hand verified," i.e., examined as to
        why they did not complete the system.  Any questions on those Cards are
        usually remedied individually.

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

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

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

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

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

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

         THIS FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of
August ___, 1995 by and between CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (the
"Company") TCI PORTFOLIOS, INC. (the "Issuer") and the investment adviser of
the Issuer, INVESTORS RESEARCH CORPORATION ("Investors Research").

         WHEREAS, the Company offers to the public certain individual and group
variable annuity contracts and group variable life insurance contracts and
provides individual coverages under Certificates issued under the group
contracts described in this agreement (collectively called the "Contracts");
and

         WHEREAS, Issuer is a mutual fund registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended ("40 Act") and offers and issues its shares only
to insurance companies to fund variable annuity and variable life insurance
contracts and offers several portfolios or series, including but not limited to
TCI Growth ("Fund"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company wishes to offer the Fund as an investment option
under the Contracts; and,

         WHEREAS, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Investors
Research and the Issuer desire to make shares of the Fund available as an
investment option under the Contracts and to retain the Company to perform
certain administrative services on behalf of the Fund;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Issuer and Investors Research agree
as follows:

         1.      TRANSACTIONS IN THE FUND.  Subject to the terms and conditions

underlying investment media.  Dividends and capital gains distributions will be
automatically reinvested in full and fractional shares of the Fund.

         2.      ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES.  The Company shall be solely

         3.      PROCESSING AND TIMING OF TRANSACTIONS.

         (a)     The Issuer hereby appoints the Company as its agent for the
limited purpose of accepting purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares
from the Contract owners.  On each day the New York Stock Exchange (the
"Exchange") is open for business (each, a "Business Day"), the Company may
receive instructions from the Contract owners for the purchase or redemption of
shares of the Fund ("Orders").  Orders received and accepted by the Company
prior to the close of regular trading on the Exchange (the "Close of Trading")
on any given Business Day and transmitted to the Issuer by 9:00 p.m. Central
time on such Business Day will be executed by the Issuer at the net asset value
determined as of the Close of Trading on such Business Day.  Any Orders
received by the Company on such day but after the Close of Trading, and all
Orders that are transmitted to the Issuer after 9:00 p.m. Central time on such
Business Day, will be executed by the Issuer at the net asset value determined
as of the Close of Trading on the next Business Day following the day of
receipt of such Order.  The day on which an Order is executed by the Issuer
pursuant to the provisions set forth above is referred to herein as the
"Effective Trade Date".

         (b)     By 5:30 p.m. Central time on each Business Day, Investors
Research will provide to the Company via facsimile or other electronic
transmission acceptable to the Company the Fund's net asset value, dividend and
capital gain information and, in the case of income funds, the daily accrual
for interest rate factor (mil rate), determined at the Close of Trading.

         (c)     By 9:00 p.m. Central time on each Business Day, the Company
will provide to Investors Research via facsimile or other electronic
transmission acceptable to Investors Research a report stating whether the
Orders received by the Company from Contract owners by the Close of Trading on
such Business Day resulted in the Account being a net purchaser or net seller
of shares of the Fund.

         (d)     Upon the timely receipt from the Company of the report
described in (c) above, Investors Research will execute the purchase or
redemption transactions (as the case may be) at the net asset value computed as
at the Close of Trading on the Effective Trade Date.  Payment for net purchase
transactions shall be made by wire transfer by the Company to the custodial
account designated by the Fund on the Business Day next following the effective
Trade Date.  Payments for net redemption transactions shall be made by wire
transfer by the Issuer to the account designated by the Company within the time
period set forth in the Fund's then-current prospectus; provided, however,
Investors Research will use all reasonable efforts to settle all redemptions on
the Business Day next following the Effective Trade Date.  On any Business Day
when the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System is closed, all communication and
processing rules will be suspended for the settlement of Orders.  Orders will
be settled on the next Business Day on which the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer
System is open and the Effective Trade Date will apply.

<PAGE>   51

         4.      PROSPECTUS AND PROXY MATERIALS.

         (a)     Investors Research shall provide to the shareholder of record
copies of the Issuer's proxy materials, periodic fund reports to shareholders
and other materials that are required by law to be sent to the Issuer's
shareholders.  In addition, Investors Research shall provide the Company with a
sufficient quantity of prospectuses of the Fund to be used in conjunction with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, together with such additional
copies of the Issuer's prospectuses as may be reasonably requested by Company.
If the Company provides for pass-through voting by the Contract owners,
Investors Research will provide the Company with a sufficient quantity of proxy
materials for each Contract owner.

         (b)     The cost of preparing, printing and shipping of the
prospectuses, proxy materials, periodic fund reports and other materials of the
Issuer to the Company shall be paid by Investors Research; provided, however,
that if at any time Investors Research or its agent reasonably deems the usage
by the Company of such items to be excessive, it may, prior to the delivery of
any quantity of materials in excess of what is deemed reasonable, request that
the Company demonstrate the reasonableness of such usage.  If the Investors
Research believes the reasonableness of such usage has not been adequately
demonstrated, it may request that the Company pay the cost of printing
(including press time) and delivery of any excess copies of such materials.
Unless the Company agrees to make such payments, Investors Research may refuse
to supply additional materials and this section shall not be interpreted as
requiring delivery by Investors Research or Issuer of any copies in excess of
the number of copies required by law.

         (c)     The cost of distribution, if any, of any prospectuses, proxy
materials, periodic fund reports and other materials of the Issuer to the
Contract owners shall be paid by the Company and shall not be the
responsibility of Investors Research or the Issuer.

         5.      COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES.

         (a)     The Company shall be the sole shareholder of Fund shares
purchased pursuant to this Agreement (the "Record Owners").  The Company and
the Record Owners shall properly complete any applications or other forms
required by Investors Research or the Issuer.

         (b)     Investors Research acknowledges that it will derive a
substantial savings in administrative expenses, such as a reduction in expenses
related to postage, shareholder communications and recordkeeping, by virtue of
having a single shareholder account for the Account rather than having each
Contract owner as a shareholder.  In consideration of the Administrative
Services and performance of all other obligations under this Agreement by the
Company, Investors Research will pay the Company a fee (the "Administrative
Services fee") equal to 20 basis points (0.20%) per annum of the average
aggregate amount invested by the Company under this Agreement, commencing with
the month in which the average aggregate market value of investments by the
Company (on behalf of the Contract owners) in the Fund exceeds $10 million.  No
payment obligation shall arise until the Company's average aggregate investment
in the Fund reaches $10 million, and such payment obligation, once commenced,
shall





                                       3
<PAGE>   52
be suspended with respect to any month during which the Company's average
aggregate investment in the Fund drops below $10 million.

         (c)     The parties understand that Investors Research customarily
pays, out of its management fee, another affiliated corporation for the type of
administrative services to be provided by the Company to the Contract owners.
The parties agree that the payments by Investors Research to the Company, like
Investors Research's payments to its affiliated corporation, are for
administrative services only and do not constitute payment in any manner for
investment advisory services or for costs of distribution.

         (d)     For the purposes of computing the payment to the Company
contemplated by this SECTION 5, the average aggregate amount invested by the
Account in the Fund over a one month period shall be computed by totalling the
Company's aggregate investment (share net asset value multiplied by total
number of shares of the Fund held by the Company) on each Business Day during
the month and dividing by the total number of Business Days during such month.

         (e) Investors Research will calculate the amount of the payment to be
made pursuant to this SECTION 5 at the end of each calendar quarter and will
make such payment to the Company within 30 days thereafter.  The check for such
payment will be accompanied by a statement showing the calculation of the
amounts being paid by Investors Research for the relevant month and such other
supporting data as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

         (f)     In the event Investors Research reduces its management fee
with respect to the Fund after the date hereof, Investors Research may amend
the Administrative Services fee payable with regard to such Fund by providing
the Company 30 days' advance written notice of any such adjustment.  The
revised Administrative Services fee shall become effective as of the latter of
30 days from the date of delivery of the notice or the date prescribed in the
notice.

         6.      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         (a)     The Company represents and warrants that: (i) this Agreement
has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when executed
and delivered, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms; (ii) it has established the
CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account A (the "Account"), which is a
separate account under Connecticut Insurance law, and has registered the
Account as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act to serve as an investment
vehicle for the Contracts; (iii) each Contract provides for the allocation of
net amounts received by the Company to the Account for investment in the shares
of one of more specified investment companies selected among those companies
available through the Account to act as underlying investment media; (iv)
selection of a particular investment company is made by the Contract owner
under a particular Contract, who may change such selection from time to time in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Contract; and (v) the activities of
the Company contemplated by this Agreement comply with all provisions of
federal and state insurance, securities, and tax laws applicable to such
activities.

         (b)     Investors Research represents that: (i) this Agreement has
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when executed and

Code.

         7.      ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS.

         (a)     Each party shall comply with all provisions of federal and
state laws applicable to its respective activities under this Agreement.

         (b)     Each party shall promptly notify the other parties in the

under this Agreement.

         (c)     The Company covenants and agrees that all Orders accepted and
transmitted by it hereunder with respect to the Account on any Business Day
will be based upon instructions that it received from the Contract owners in
proper form prior to the Close of Trading of the Exchange on that Business Day.

         (d)     The Company agrees to make every reasonable effort to market
its Contracts.  It will use its best efforts to give equal emphasis and
promotion to shares of the Fund as is given to other underlying investments of
the Account.

         (e)     The Company shall not, without the written consent of
Investors Research, make representations concerning the Issuer or the shares of
the Fund except those contained in the then-current prospectus and in current
printed sales literature approved by Investors Research or the Issuer.

         (f) Advertising and sales literature with respect to the Issuer or the
Fund prepared by the Company or its agents, if any, for use in marketing shares
of the Fund as underlying investment media to Contract owners shall be
submitted to Investors Research for review and approval before such material is
used.

         (g)     Investors Research will provide to the Company at least one
complete copy of all prospectuses, statements of additional information, annual
and semi-annual reports, proxy statements and all amendments or supplements to
any of the above that relate to the Fund promptly after the filing of such
document with the SEC or other regulatory authorities.  Investors Research will
provide the Company at least one complete copy of the most recent registration
statement of the Issuer upon request.





                                       5
<PAGE>   54
         (h)     The Company will provide to Investors Research at least one
complete copy of all registration statements, prospectuses, statements of
additional information, annual and semi-annual reports, proxy statements, and
all amendments or supplements to any of the above that relate to the Account
promptly after the filing of such document with the SEC or other regulatory
authority.

         8.      USE OF NAMES.  Except as otherwise expressly provided for in
this Agreement, neither Investors Research nor the Issuer shall use any
trademark, trade name, service mark or logo of the Company, or any variation of
any such trademark, trade name, service mark or logo, without the Company's
prior written consent, the granting of which shall be at the Company's sole
option.  Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the
Company shall not use any trademark, trade name, service mark or logo of the
Issuer or Investors Research, or any variation of any such trademarks, trade
names, service marks, or logos, without the prior written consent of either the
Issuer or Investors Research, as appropriate, the granting of which shall be at
the sole option of Investors Research and/or the Issuer.

         9.      PROXY VOTING.

         (a)     The Company shall provide pass-through voting privileges to
all Contract owners so long as the SEC continues to interpret the 1940 Act as
requiring such privileges.  It shall be the responsibility of the Company to
assure that it and the separate accounts of the other Participating Companies
(as defined in SECTION 11(a) below) participating in the Fund calculate voting
privileges in a consistent manner.

         (b)     The Company will distribute to Contract owners all proxy
material furnished by Investors Research and will vote shares in accordance
with instructions received from such Contract owners.  The Company shall vote
Fund shares for which no instructions have been received in the same proportion
as shares for which such instructions have been received.  The Company and its
agents shall not oppose or interfere with the solicitation of proxies for Fund
shares held for such Contract owners.

         10.     INDEMNITY.

         (a)     Investors Research agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this
SECTION 10(a)) against any losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities
(including amounts paid in settlement thereof) or litigation expenses
(including legal and other expenses) (collectively, "Losses"), to which the
Indemnified Parties may become subject, insofar as such Losses result from a
breach by Investors Research of a material provision of this Agreement.
Investors Research will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or
defending any such Losses.  Investors Research shall not be liable for
indemnification hereunder if such Losses are





                                       6
<PAGE>   55
attributable to the negligence or misconduct of the Company in performing its
obligations under this Agreement.

         (b)     The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Investors
Research and the Issuer and their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or
Investors Research within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this SECTION 10(b))
against any Losses to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject, insofar
as such Losses result from a breach by the Company of a material provision of
this Agreement.  The Company will reimburse any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating
or defending any such Losses.  The Company shall not be liable for
indemnification hereunder if such Losses are attributable to the negligence or
misconduct of Investors Research or the Issuer in performing their obligations
under this Agreement.

         (c)     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of
notice of the commencement of action, such indemnified party will, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this SECTION 10.  In
case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will
be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish to,
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not
be liable to such indemnified party under this SECTION 10 for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

         (d)     If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such
action, the indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified parties in such action, settle or compromise the liability of
the indemnified parties in such action, or permit a default or consent to the
entry of any judgement in respect thereof, unless in connection with such
settlement, compromise or consent, each indemnified party receives from such
claimant an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim.

         11.     POTENTIAL CONFLICTS.

         (a)     The Company has received a copy of an application for
exemptive relief, as amended, filed by Investors Research on December 21, 1987,
with the SEC and the order issued by the SEC in response thereto (the "Shared
Funding Exemptive Order").  The Company has reviewed the conditions to the
requested relief set forth in such application for exemptive relief.  As set
forth in such application, the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board")
will monitor the Issuer for the existence of any material irreconcilable
conflict between the interests of the contract owners of all separate accounts
("Participating Companies") investing in funds of the





                                       7
<PAGE>   56
Issuer.  An irreconcilable material conflict may arise for a variety of
reasons, including: (i) an action by any state insurance regulatory authority;
(ii) a change in applicable federal or state insurance, tax, or securities laws
or regulations, or a public ruling, private letter ruling, no-action or
interpretative letter, or any similar actions by insurance, tax or securities
regulatory authorities; (iii) an administrative or judicial decision in any
relevant proceeding; (iv) the manner in which the investments of any portfolio
are being managed; (v) a difference in voting instructions given by variable
annuity contract owners and variable life insurance contract owners; or (vi) a
decision by an insurer to disregard the voting instructions of contract owners.
The Board shall promptly inform the Company if it determines that an
irreconcilable material conflict exists and the implications thereof.

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

         (c)     If a majority of the Board, or a majority of its disinterested
Board members, determines that a material irreconcilable conflict exists with
regard to contract owner investments in the Fund, the Board shall give prompt
notice to all Participating Companies.  If the Board determines that the
Company is responsible for causing or creating said conflict, the Company shall
at its sole cost and expense, and to the extent reasonably practicable (as
determined by a majority of the disinterested Board members), take such action
as is necessary to remedy or eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict.
Such necessary action may include but shall not be limited to:

                 (i)      withdrawing the assets allocable to the Account from
                          the Fund and reinvesting such assets in a different
                          investment medium or submitting the question of
                          whether such segregation should be implemented to a
                          vote of all affected contract owners and as
                          appropriate, segregating the assets of any
                          appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners,
                          life insurance contract owners, or variable contract
                          owners of one or more Participating Companies) that
                          votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to
                          the affected contract owners the option of making
                          such a change; and/or

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

         (d)     If a material irreconcilable conflict arises as a result of a
decision by the Company to disregard its contract owner voting instructions and
said decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote
by all of its contract owners having an interest in the Issuer, the Company at
its sole cost, may be required, at the Board's election, to withdraw the
Account's investment in the Issuer and terminate this Agreement; provided,
however, that such withdrawal





                                       8
<PAGE>   57
and termination shall be limited to the extent required by the foregoing
material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board.

         (e)     For the purpose of this SECTION 11, a majority of the
disinterested Board members shall determine whether or not any proposed action
adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in no event will
the Issuer be required to establish a new funding medium for any Contract.
The Company shall not be required by this SECTION 11 to establish a new funding
medium for any Contract if an offer to do so has been declined by vote of a
majority of the Contract owners materially adversely affected by the
irreconcilable material conflict.

         12.     TERMINATION.  This agreement shall terminate as to the sale 
and issuance of new Contracts:

         (a)     at the option of either the Company, Investors Research or the
Issuer upon six months' advance written notice to the other;

         (b)     at the option of the Company if the Fund's shares are not
available for any reason to meet the requirement of Contracts as determined by
the Company.  Reasonable advance notice of election to terminate shall be
furnished by Company;

         (c)     at the option of either the Company, Investors Research or the
Issuer, upon institution of formal proceedings against the broker-dealer or
broker-dealers marketing the Contracts, the Account, the Company, or the Issuer
by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), the SEC
or any other regulatory body;

         (d)     upon termination of the Management Agreement between the
Issuer and Investors Research.  Notice of such termination shall be promptly
furnished to the Company.  This SUBSECTION (d) shall not be deemed to apply if
contemporaneously with such termination a new contract of substantially similar
terms is entered into between the Fund and Investors Research;

         (e)     upon the requisite vote of Contract owners having an interest
in the Issuer to substitute for the Issuer's shares the shares of another
investment company in accordance with the terms of Contracts for which the
Issuer's shares had been selected to serve as the underlying investment medium.
The Company will give 60 days' written notice to the Issuer and Investors
Research of any proposed vote to replace the Fund's shares;

         (f)     upon assignment of this Agreement unless made with the written
consent of all other parties hereto;

         (g)     if the Issuer's shares are not registered, issued or sold in
conformance with Federal law or such law precludes the use of Fund shares as an
underlying investment medium of Contracts issued or to be issued by the
Company.  Prompt notice shall be given by either party should such situation
occur; or





                                       9
<PAGE>   58
         (h)     at the option of the Issuer, if the Issuer reasonably

          MEDICAL UNDERWRITING CERTIFICATION AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

                           COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
In order to properly underwrite your insurance coverage, we must collect
certain information about your physical condition.

You are the most important source of information about your own health and, to
the degree it is possible, we will rely only on information obtained from you.
If we do find we are required to contact medical professionals or institutions,
we will contact you in order to obtain your authorization to seek this
information, which would be collected through you by mail or from medical
professionals directly to us.

                                   DISCLOSURE
Information about you is protected by privacy laws and will be released only in
accordance with these laws.  The only people who have access to the information
are employees who service your policy or claim and those who have an
insurance-related regulatory or legal need for the information. In other
situations, we will ask you for written authorization to disclose information
about you.

                             ACCESS AND CORRECTION
In most cases, the only information we will collect is provided by you. You are
encouraged to keep a copy of all forms for your records. If we find it is
necessary to contact medical providers or institutions with your permission,
there are procedures by which you can obtain access to the personal information

         had his or her level of activity significantly reduced so that he
         or she requires human supervision or assistance to perform any of
         the following Activities of Daily Living: mobility, transferring,
         feeding, dressing or toileting -- which another person of the same
         age and sex could normally perform; and/or (d) is receiving any
         disability benefits from any source due to any sickness or injury.

or indirectly, a "purchase" transaction. The summary shows that, because of the
insurance nature of the Policies, the procedures involved necessarily differ in
certain significant respects from the purchase procedures for mutual funds and
contractual plans.

       (a)  Premium Schedules and Underwriting Standards

       The certificate provides for flexible premium payments. Premium payments
can be made at the frequency and in the amount selected by the Certificate
Owner except that the initial premium payment is due on the Certificate
Effective Date.  There is no penalty if the  premium is not paid, nor does
payment of this amount guarantee coverage for any period of time.  Even if
premiums are paid, the Certificate lapses when the Net Cash Value becomes
insufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction and a Grace Period expires without
sufficient payment.

       Premium payments may be made on a periodic basis (i.e., through payroll
deductions) or on a lump sum basis. All premium payments will be deemed
received when actually received by the Company at its Customer Service Center;
or if through payroll deduction, such premium payment will be deemed received
when the Company has confirmed receipt of a wire transfer into a bank account
maintained by the Company for receipt of premiums from Certificate Owners under
these Policies. Such 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 minimum premium payment required is that amount necessary to
maintain a positive Net Cash Value, however, the minimum lump sum premium
payment is $25.00. If a premium payment would require the Company as a result
of Internal Revenue Service limitations to increase the Coverage Amount, the
Company reserves the right to require evidence of good health acceptable to the
Company. 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 Account. Moreover, the total of all
premium payments may not exceed then-current maximum premium limitations
established by federal law. If at any time this maximum is exceeded, the
Company will only accept that portion of the premium payment which will make
the total premiums equal the maximum and the remainder 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. Additionally, if there is any Current Outstanding Loan Balance, any lump
sum
<PAGE>   3
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
Certificate Owner and the Company.

       The Policies will be offered and sold pursuant to established
underwriting standards and in accordance with state insurance laws. State
insurance laws prohibit unfair discrimination among Insureds but recognize that
mortality charges must be based upon factors such as age, sex, health and
smoker status, and occupation.

       (b)  Application and Initial Premium Processing

       Individuals wishing to purchase a Certificate must complete an
Application. The minimum Coverage Amount of a Certificate is $10,000 for an
Insured Employee and the lesser of $10,000 or, where required by state law, 50%
of the Insured Employee's selected Coverage Amount for such Insured Employee's
spouse. Before issuing any Certificate the Company will require satisfactory
evidence of good health except that a Guaranteed Issue Amount will be
negotiated between the Company and the Group Policyholder and such amount will
be offered to the Employee and his spouse without the necessity of providing
evidence of good health.

       For applicants who apply within 31 days of becoming eligible, coverage
up to the guaranteed issue amount will become effective either when the
applicant becomes eligible or when the completed application is received by the
Company, whichever is later. For applicants who apply later, and for amounts in
excess of the guaranteed issue amount, coverage will become effective when the
Company agrees in writing to insure the applicant. For employees not in active
service, the effective date of the coverage will be delayed until the return to
active service.

       There is no premium payment schedule. There is no penalty if a premium
payment is not paid, nor does payment of a premium guarantee coverage for any
period of time.

       When a premium payment is received, the Company will  deduct a Premium
Load to cover state premium taxes and the effect of federal income taxes. All
or part of the Premium Load may be waived when coverage under the Policy is
issued in exchange for a policy or certificate of life insurance underwritten
by the Company or an affiliate. The balance of the premium (the "Net Premium
Payment") will be applied to the Fund Accounts of the Separate Account at the
accumulation unit value determined at the end of the Valuation Period when the
payment is received and to the Fixed Account in accordance with a Certificate
Owner's allocation election in effect at that time, and before any other
deductions which may be due are made (except that any lump sum premium payment
will  be first applied to offset a Current Outstanding Loan Balance, if such
exists).

       (c)  Right to Examine

       A Certificate may be returned for cancellation and a full refund of
premium payments made 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 not allocated to the Fund  Accounts even if the Certificate
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 by check may be delayed until
the check clears the bank upon which it is drawn. Any refund will be in the
amount of premium paid less the amount of any  partial surrenders or loans plus
interest accrued on the loans.

       (d)  Repayment of Indebtedness
<PAGE>   4
       The effective annual loan interest rate is 8%, which is payable in
arrears. Loan interest for the Policy  Year in which a loan is taken will be
due on the next 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 change in the amount of the Loan Balance 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
funding option, withdrawals from each funding option will be made
proportionately from the values in each funding option at the time of the
transfer, unless the Company is instructed otherwise by the Owner in writing at
the Customer Service Center.

       In the event of surrender, lapse, death of the Insured, or any other
event resulting in the termination of the Certificate, the Loan Account will
revert to the Company in repayment of the Current Outstanding Loan Balance. To
the extent that the Current Outstanding Loan Balance exceeds the Loan Account
Value, such excess will reduce the payment of any proceeds under the
Certificate or the Cash Value.

       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 Certificate Loan, and
corresponding reduction of the Loan Balance, funds in the Loan Account in an
amount equal to the amount of the repayment  will be transferred to the funding
options according to current Net Premium Payment allocations.

       A Certificate Loan, whether or not repaid, will affect the proceeds
payable upon the Insured's death and the Cash Value because the investment
results of the Fund Accounts or the Fixed Account will apply only to the
non-loaned portion of the Cash Value. The longer a loan is outstanding, the
greater the effect is likely to be. Depending on the investment results of the
Fund Accounts or the Fixed Account while the loan is outstanding, the effect
could be favorable or unfavorable.

       (e)  Correction of Misstatement of Age

       If the Insured's age has been misstated, the affected benefits will be
adjusted to the amounts which the most recent cost of insurance deducted from
the Cash Value would have purchased at the correct age.

2.     "Redemption Procedures":
       Surrender and Related Transactions

       This section outlines those procedures which might be deemed to
constitute redemptions under the Certificate. These Procedures differ in
certain significant respects from the redemption procedures for mutual funds
and contractual plans.

       (a)  Account Values

       The owner of a Certificate may make a Partial Surrender or Full
Surrender of the Certificate to receive part or all of the Certificate's Net
Cash Value, at any time while the Certificate is in effect. A $25 transaction
fee is charged for both Partial and Full Surrenders. The Net Cash Value of the
Certificate is the amount invested  in the Fund Accounts and the Fixed Account.
The Net Cash Value of the Certificate is held in one or more Fund Accounts of
the Separate Account and the Fixed Account. Initially,this value equals the
amount of the first Net Premium Payment made under the Certificate. This amount
is allocated among the Fixed Account and the Fund Accounts according to
<PAGE>   5
the allocation percentages requested in the Application, or as subsequently
changed by the Certificate Owner.

       A Full Surrender may be made at any time while the Certificate is in
force. The Company will pay the Net Cash Value less the transaction fee of $25
and any other amounts due the Company next computed after receiving the
Certificate Owner's written request at the Customer Service Center in a form
satisfactory to the Company along with the return of the Certificate.


       Partial Surrenders may be made at any time by written request to the
Customer Service Center. The minimum amount of a Partial Surrender is $250 and
the amount of a Partial Surrender may not exceed 90% of the Net Cash Value at
the end of a Valuation Period in which the election would become effective. A
Partial Surrender (along with the $25 transaction charge) will be made on a pro
rata basis from the Fixed Account and/or Fund Accounts if Net Cash Value is
attributable to more than one funding option,unless the Certificate Owner and
the Company agree otherwise.

       A Partial Surrender will reduce the Cash Value and the Death Benefit,
but it will not reduce the Coverage Amount.

       Withdrawals from the Fund  Accounts will generally be paid within 7
calendar days of receipt of the written request.(1)

       (b)  Benefit Claims

       As long as the Certificate remains in force, the Company will pay a
Death Benefit to the named Beneficiary generally within 7 days after receipt,
at the Customer Service Center, of due proof of the Insured's death (a
certified copy of the death certificate) plus such other documentation as the
Company may require as proof of a covered claim under the Certificate. The
Death Benefit is equal to the greater of the Coverage Amount plus the Net Cash
Value, or the Corridor Death Benefit and will be calculated as of the date of
an Insured's death. The Company may delay payment of the Death Benefit.(2) In
particular, during the first two certificate years and in other circumstances
in which the Company may have a basis for contesting the claim, there can be a
delay beyond the 7 day period. The company will investigate  death claims
arising within the two-year contestable period and the suicide waiting period
as appropriate.(3)

       If the Company determines that coverage should not have been in force as
a result of investigation during the first two certificate years or that death
resulted from a suicide during the





      -------------------------

              (1)  Payment from the Separate Account may be postponed whenever;
                   (i) the New York stock Exchange is closed other than for
                   customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the
                   New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the
                   SEC; or (ii) on the Friday following Thanksgiving Day or
                   (iii) an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a
                   result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably
                   practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine
                   the value of the Separate Account's net assets. Payment from
                   the portion of the Cash Value held in the Fixed Account may
                   be postponed up to six months.  Payments under the Policy of
                   any amount paid by check may be postponed until such time as
                   the check has cleared the check issuer's  bank.

              (2)  See supra note 1.

              (3)  Death Benefits attributable to an increase in the coverage
                   Amount may be contested within two years of the effective
                   date of such increase.
<PAGE>   6
suicide waiting period, the Company will return all premium paid less any
Certificate Loans (plus interest) and less the amount of any Partial
Surrenders.

       The Company adds interest to a Death Benefit from the date of death to
the date of payment as  required by state law.

       (c)  Certificate Loans

       Using the Certificate's Cash Value as security, the Certificate owner
can borrow any amount up to 90% of the Net Cash Value. The Company will not
grant a loan which would require that the Loan Account Value be greater than
90% of the Net Cash Value.

       The Loan Balance is equal to the amount of all loans under the
Certificate, less any repayments, plus interest which accrues daily. Interest
payments are due on each Certificate Anniversary Date.If not paid within 30
days of coming due , interest will be added to the Loan Balance as of the date
due and, as part of the loan, will bear interest on the same terms. The loan
amount requested will be secured by amounts taken from the Fund Accounts and/or
the Fixed Account in proportion to the  relative values of the Fund Accounts
and the Fixed Account  on the date of the loan. Funds will be transferred from
the Fund Accounts by redeeming units at the net unit value for that Valuation
Period and purchasing units in the account to which the transfer is made.  The
Loan Account Value will accrue interest at a rate of  not less than 6%.  If the
Loan Balance exceeds the Net Cash Value, the Company may terminate the
Certificate.

        The Loan Balance will bear interest at the rate of 8% per year.

       The Loan Balance may be repaid in full or in part at any time while the
Insured is living and the Certificate is in force. Upon repayment of all or any
portion of a Certificate Loan, and corresponding reduction of the Loan Balance,
funds in the Loan Account in an amount equal to the amount of the repayment
will be transferred to the funding options according to current Net Premium
Payment allocations.

       A Certificate Loan,whether or not repaid, will affect the proceeds
payable upon the insured's death and the Cash Value because the investment
results of the Fund Accounts or the Fixed Account will apply only to the
non-loaned portion of the Cash Value. The longer a loan is outstanding, the
greater the effect is likely to be. Depending on the investment results of the
Fund Accounts or the Fixed Account while the loan is outstanding, the effect
could be favorable or unfavorable.

       (d)  Certificate Termination

       The Certificate does not terminate for failure to pay premiums since
payments, other than the initial premium, are not specifically required.
Rather, if on the day a Monthly Deduction is due, the Net Cash Value is less
than the Monthly Deduction for the next Certificate month, coverage will lapse
if, payment is not made during the Grace Period to allow the Net Cash Value to
cover the Monthly Deduction due, the Grace Period for such payment shall extend
61 days from the date the Company notifies the Owner that the Net Cash Value is
insufficient to cover the due Monthly Deduction. (4)

       The Company allows at least 61 days to pay any premium necessary to
cover the overdue Monthly Deduction. The Company will send the Owner a lapse
notice at least 61 days before the Grace Period expires. During the Grace
Period, the Certificate remains in force.If the Company does not receive the
required payment before the end of the Grace Period, the Certificate will lapse
and





            ------------------------

                 (4) Payroll deductions will be adjusted to reflect changes in
                     coverage amounts and rates.

<PAGE>   7
there will be no Cash Value or Death Benefit. If the Insured dies during the
grace Period, the Company will pay the Death Benefit. However, these proceeds
will be reduced by the amount of any Monthly Deduction for the full Certificate
month or months that run from the beginning of the Grace Period through the
Certificate month in which the Insured dies and by the amount of the excess
Certificate loan.

       If the Certificate lapses, the Owner can apply, in writing, for
reinstatement at any time prior to three years after the date of lapse. The
Coverage Amount of the reinstated Certificate will be the same as the Coverage
Amount of the Certificate at the time of lapse.  To reinstate a Certificate,
the Company will require satisfactory evidence of good health (procured 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 and will be subject to new contestability and suicide periods.

       (e)  Recissions

       If a Certificate is rescinded under the Suicide provision of the Policy,
the Company will return all premiums paid by the insured, less any certificate
Loans and/or Partial Surrenders. If a Certificate is rescinded during the
contestability period for reasons other than the Suicide of the insured, the
premium paid for the amount of insurance contested will be returned.
Accumulated Cash Value, certificate Loans, and Partial Surrenders will not be
reversed as adjustments to the policy unless the recission of the contested
amount of insurance would reduce the Coverage Amount such that the Certificate
would fail to meet the definition of a life insurance contract under the
Internal Revenue Code.

       3.   Transfers

       While the Certificate is in force, values may, at any time, be
transferred ($250 minimum) from one Fund Account to another, or from the Fund
Accounts to the Fixed Account.  Within the 30 days after each Certificate
Anniversary, 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 will be effective as of the Valuation Day during which
the 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. Any transfer made which
causes the remaining Fund Account Value  to be less than $250 will result in
the  remaining Fund Account Value  being transferred as part of the requested
transfer.

       Transfers may be made in writing (or by telephone if telephone
transactions have been authorized in writing). To make a telephone transfer,
the Certificate Owner must call the Customer Service Center and provide, as
identification, his Certificate number, his Social Security number, and his
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 same day  and
confirmed within five business days. 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.
<PAGE>   8
       Any transfers among the Fund Accounts or from a Fund Account 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.

       Through a process called Dollar Cost Averaging, the Certificate Owner
may systematically transfer specified dollar amounts from the Money Market
Fund Account to the other Fund Accounts at regular intervals.

         Election of this arrangement may occur at any time by properly
completing the dollar Cost Averaging election form, returning it to the Company
so it is received by the tenth of the month, to be effective the following
month, and ensuring that sufficient value (at least $3,000) is in the Money
Market Fund Account.

       Dollar Cost Averaging will terminate when any of the following occurs:
(1) the number of designated transfers has been completed; (2) the Money Market
Fund Account Value is insufficient to complete the next transfer; (3) the
Certificate Owner requests termination is writing and such writing is received
by the tenth of the month in order to cancel the transfer scheduled to take
effect the following month; or (4) the Certificate is lapsed, surrendered or
otherwise terminated.

       There is currently no charge for Dollar Cost Averaging; however, Dollar
Cost Averaging transfers are counted among the twelve free transfers per
Certificate Year. The Company reserves the right to charge for this program. In
the event there are additional transfers, a transfer fee will be charged. The
Company does not intend to profit from any such charge.

                               EXCHANGE PROCEDURE

Where required by state law, the Owner may, within eighteen months of the
Certificate Effective Date, exchange his Certificate for a Certificate of
insurance under a group flexible premium life insurance policy issued by the
Company ("Exchange Policy"). The date of issue and the age at issue of the
Certificate under the Exchange Policy shall be the same as for the Certificate
under the Policy. Additional coverage and riders elected by the Owner under the
Certificate will be provided on the Exchange Policy to the extent available.
Premium rates will be those in effect under the Exchange Policy at the time of
exchange for the class of eligible persons into which the insured falls. Cash
values will be equitably adjusted under the Exchange Policy.

Re:    Form S-6 Registration Statement
       CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account A (the "Separate Account")


Dear Sirs:

As Chief Counsel of the CIGNA Group Insurance Division of Connecticut General
Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), I am familiar with the actions of the
Board of Directors establishing the Separate Account and its method of
operation and authorizing the filing of a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 for the securities to be issued by the Separate Account
and the Investment Conmpany Act of 1940 for the Account itself.

In the course of preparing this opinion, I have reviewed the Certificate of
Incorporation and the By-Laws of the Company, the Board actions with respect to
the Separate Account, and such other matters as I deemed necessary or
appropriate. Based on such a review, I am of the opinion that the group
variable universal life insurance policies (and the certificates thereunder)
which are the subject of the registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933 being filed for the Separate Account will, when issued, be legally issued
and will represent the binding obligations of the Company, the depositor for
the Separate Account.

I consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to said Registration
Statement and to the reference to me under the heading "Experts" in said
Registration Statement.


Very truly yours,

       Re:  CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account A
            Registration Statement S-6 File No. 33-60967


Ladies and Gentlemen:


This opinion is furnished in connection with the Registration Statement filed
by Connecticut General Life Insurance Company under the Securities Act of 1933
recorded as File No. 33-60967.The prospectus included in the Registration
Statement on Form S-6 describes flexible premium group variable universal life
insurance policies (the "Policies"). The forms of Policies were prepared under
my direction, and I am familiar with the Registration Statement, as amended ,
and Exhibits thereto.

In my opinion, the illustrations of benefits under the Policies included in the
Section entitled "Illustrations" in the prospectus, based on assumptions stated
in the illustrations, are consistent with the provisions of the respective
forms of the Policies. The age selected in the illustrations is representative
of the manner in which the Policy operates.

In addition, I have reviewed the discount rate used in calculating the present
value of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company's future tax deductions
resulting from the amortization of its deduction for certain acquisition costs.
In my opinion, the DAC tax charge is reasonable in relation to Connecticut
General Life Insurance company's increased federal tax burden under section 848
resulting from the receipt of premiums; the targeted rate of return used in
calculating such charges is reasonable; and the factors taken into account by
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company in determining the targeted rate of
return are appropriate.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to my name under the heading "Experts" in the
prospectus.
                              Very truly yours,
