Explanatory Note
Registrant is filing this post-effective amendment ("Amendment") for the sole

PART A
Each prospectus contained in the registration statement is amended as follows:
1. The section entitled "Investment Alternatives: Transfers" shall include the
following disclosure:
EXCESSIVE TRADING LIMITS
For Contracts issued on or after December 1, 2000, in any Contract Year, we
reserve the right to limit transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts, or to
refuse any Variable Sub-Account transfer request, if:
o we believe, in our sole discretion, that excessive trading by such
Contract owner or owners, or a specific transfer request or group of
transfer requests, may have a detrimental effect on the Accumulation
Unit Values of any Variable Sub-Account or the share prices of the
corresponding Funds or would be to the disadvantage of other Contract
owners; or
o we are informed by one or more of the corresponding Funds that they
intend to restrict the purchase or redemption of Fund shares because
of excessive trading or because they believe that a specific transfer
or groups of transfers would have a detrimental effect on the prices
of Fund shares.
We may apply the restrictions in any manner reasonably designed to prevent
transfers that we consider disadvantageous to other Contract owners.
