                                  ELIGIBILITY


Under Internal Revenue Code ("Code") Section 219, if you are not an active
participant (see A. below), you may make a contribution of up to the lesser of
$2,000 or 100% of compensation and take a deduction for the entire amount
contributed. If you are a married individual filing a joint return, and your
compensation is less than your spouse's, the total deduction will, in general,
be the lesser of $4,000 or 100% of the combined earned income of both spouses,
reduced by any deduction for an IRA purchase payment allowed to your spouse. If
you are an active participant, but have an adjusted gross income (AGI) below a
certain level (see B. below), you may still make a deductible contribution. If,
however, you or your spouse is an active participant and your combined AGI is
above the specified level, the amount of the deductible contribution you may
make to an IRA will be phased down and eventually eliminated.

A.  ACTIVE PARTICIPANT

You are an "active participant" for a year if you are covered by a retirement
plan. You are covered by a "retirement plan" for a year if your employer or
union has a retirement plan under which money is added to your account or you
are eligible to earn retirement credits. For example, if you are covered under a
profit-sharing plan, certain government plans, a salary reduction arrangement
(such as a tax

                                     Page 1
<PAGE>

sheltered annuity arrangement or a 401(k) plan), a Simplified Employee Pension
program (SEP), any Simple Retirement Account or a plan which promises you a
retirement benefit which is based upon the number of years of service you have
with the employer, you are likely to be an active participant. Your Form W-2 for
the year should indicate your participation status.

You are an active participant for a year even if you are not yet vested in your
retirement benefit. Also, if you make required contributions or voluntary
employee contributions to a retirement plan, you are an active participant. In
certain plans, you may be an active participant even if you were only with the
employer for part of the year.

You are not considered an active participant if you are covered in a plan only
because of your service as 1) an Armed Forces Reservist for less than 90 days of
active service, or 2) a volunteer firefighter covered for firefighting service
by a government plan. Of course, if you are covered in any other plan, these
exceptions do not apply.

If you are married, (i) filed a separate tax return, and did not live with your
spouse at any time during the year, or (ii) filed a joint return and have a
joint AGI of less than $150,000, your spouse's active participation will not
affect your ability to make deductible contributions. If you are married and
file jointly, your deduction will be phased out between an AGI of $150,000 to
$160,000.

B.  ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME (AGI)

If you are an active participant, you must look at your Adjusted Gross Income
for the year (if you and your spouse file a joint tax return, you use your
combined AGI) to determine whether you can make a deductible IRA contribution.
Your tax return will show you how to calculate your AGI for this purpose. If you
are at or below a certain AGI level, called the Threshold Level, you are treated
as if you were not an active participant and can make a deductible contribution
under the same rules as a person who is not an active participant.

If you are single, the Threshold Level is $30,000. If you are married and file a
joint tax return, the Threshold Level is $50,000. If you are married but file a
separate tax return, the Threshold Level will be $0.

For taxable years beginning in 1999, the Threshold Levels for single individuals
and for married individuals filing jointly increases as follows:

</TABLE>

                                     Page 2
<PAGE>

       A married individual filing a joint tax return, who is not an active
participant, but whose spouse is, may, in any year, make deductible IRA
contributions equal to the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of the individual's earned
income.  The Threshold Level for such individual is $150,000.

       If your AGI is less than $10,000 above your Threshold Level, you will
still be able to make a deductible contribution, but it will be limited in
amount.  The amount by which your AGI exceeds your Threshold Level

        (AGI - Threshold Level) is called your Excess AGI.  The Maximum
Allowable Deduction is $2,000.  In the case of a married individual filing
jointly and earning less than his or her spouse, the maximum Allowable Deduction
is the lesser of $2,000 or the spouse's income, less any deductible IRA
contributions or contributions to a Roth IRA.  You can estimate your Deduction
Limit as follows:

       (Your Deduction Limit may be slightly higher if you use this formula
rather than the table provided by the IRS.)

       $10,000 - Excess AGI  x  Maximum Allowable Deduction  =  Deduction Limit
       --------------------
          $10,000

          For the taxable year beginning in 2007, the deduction limit for
married individuals filing jointly will be determined as follows:

       $10,000 - Excess AGI  x  Maximum Allowable Deduction  = Deduction Limit
       ----------------------
          $20,000

          You must round up the result to the next highest $10 level (the next
highest number which ends in zero).  For example, if the result is $1,525, you
must round it up to $1,530.  If the final result is below $200 but above zero,
your Deduction Limit is $200.  Your Deduction Limit cannot, in any event, exceed
100% of your compensation.

     EXAMPLE 1:  Ms. Smith, a single person, is an active participant and has an
     AGI of $36,619.  In 1999, she would calculate her deductible IRA
     contribution as follows:

         Her AGI is $36,619
         Her Threshold Level is $31,000
         Her Excess AGI is (AGI - Threshold Level) or ($36,619-$31,000) = $5,619
         Her Maximum Allowable Deduction is $2,000

         So, her IRA deduction limit is:

                  $10,000 - $5,619  x  $2,000 = $876 (rounded to $880)
                  ----------------
                    $10,000

                                     Page 3
<PAGE>

     EXAMPLE 2:  Mr. and Mrs. Young file a joint tax return.  Each spouse earns
     more than $2,000 and one is an active participant.  Their 2000 combined AGI
     is $55,255.  Neither spouse contributed to a Roth IRA.  They may each
     contribute to an IRA and calculate their deductible contributions to each
     IRA as follows:

       Their AGI is $55,255
       Their Threshold Level is $52,000
       Their Excess AGI is (AGI - Threshold Level) or ($55,255-$52,000) = $3,255
       The Maximum Allowable Deduction for each spouse is $2,000
       So, each spouse may compute his or her IRA deduction limit as follows:

               $10,000 - 3,255  x  $2,000 = $1,349 (rounded to $1,350)
               ---------------
                  $10,000

     EXAMPLE 3:  If, in Example 2, Mr. Young did not earn any compensation, each
     spouse could still contribute to an IRA and calculate their deductible
     contribution to each IRA as in Example 2.

     EXAMPLE 4:  In 1999, Mr. Jones, a married person, files a separate tax
     return and is an active participant.  He has $1,500 of compensation and
     wishes to make a deductible contribution to an IRA.

       His AGI is $1,500
       His Threshold Level is $0
       His Excess AGI is (AGI - Threshold Level) or $1,500-$0) = $1,500
       His Maximum Allowable Deduction is $2,000
       So, his IRA deduction limit is:
            $10,000 - $1,500  x  $2,000 = $1,700
            ----------------
               $10,000

       Even though his IRA deduction limit under the formula is $1,700, Mr.
       Jones may not deduct an amount in excess of his compensation, so, his
       actual deduction is limited to $1,500.

                     NON-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO IRAs

Even if you are above the Threshold Level and thus may not make a deductible
contribution of up to $2,000 (or up to $4,000 in the case of married individuals
filing a joint return), you may still contribute up to the lesser of 100% of
compensation or $2,000 to an IRA ($4,000 in the case of married individuals
filing a joint return).  The amount of your contribution which is not deductible
will be a non-deductible contribution to the IRA.  You may also choose to make a
contribution non-deductible even if you could have deducted part or all of the
contribution.  Interest or other earnings on your IRA contribution, whether from
deductible or non-deductible contributions, will not be taxable to you until
taken out of your IRA and distributed to you.

If you make a non-deductible contribution to an IRA, you must report the amount
of the non-deductible contribution to the IRS on Form 8606 as a part of your tax
return for the year.

                                     Page 4
<PAGE>

You may make a $2,000 contribution (or up to $4,000 in the case of married
individuals filing a joint return) at any time during the year, if your
compensation for the year will be at least $2,000 (or up to $4,000 in the case
of married individuals filing a joint return), without having to know how much
will be deductible. When you fill out your return, you may then figure out how
much is deductible.

You may withdraw an IRA contribution made for a year any time before April 15 of
the following year.  If you do so, you must also withdraw the earnings
attributable to that portion and report the earnings as income for the year for
which the contribution was made.  If some portion of your contribution is not
deductible, you may decide either to withdraw the non-deductible amount, or to
leave it in the IRA and designate that portion as a non-deductible contribution
on your tax return.

                               IRA DISTRIBUTIONS

Generally, IRA distributions which are not rolled over (see "Rollover IRA
Rules," below) are included in your gross income in the year they are received.
Non-deductible IRA contributions, however, are made using income which has
already been taxed (that is, they are not deductible contributions).  Thus, the
portion of the IRA distributions consisting of non-deductible contributions will
not be taxed again when received by you.  If you make any non-deductible IRA
contributions, each distribution from your IRA(s) will consist of a non-taxable
portion (return of deductible contributions, if any, and account earnings).

Thus, you may not take a distribution which is entirely tax-free.  The following
formula is used to determine the non-taxable portion of your distributions for a
taxable year:
<TABLE>

<S>                                         <C>                     <C>
       Remaining
       Non-Deductible Contributions    x    Total Distributions  =  Nontaxable Distributions
       --------------------------------      (for the year)          (for the year)
       Year-End Total IRA Balances
</TABLE>
       To figure the year-end total IRA balance, you treat all of your IRAs as a
       single IRA.  This includes all regular IRAs (whether accounts or
       annuities), as well as Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs, and
       Rollover IRAs.  You also add back the distributions taken during the
       year.

  EXAMPLE: An individual makes the following contributions to his or her IRA(s).

                                     Page 5
<PAGE>

In 1999, the individual takes a distribution of $3,000. The total account
balance in the IRAs on 12/31/99 before 1999 distributions is $9,000. The non-
taxable portion of the distributions for 1999 is figured as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>                                                     <C>          <C>        <C>
Total non-deductible contributions                        $2,400  x  $3,000  =  $800
                                                          --------
Total account balance in the IRAs, before distributions   $9,000
</TABLE>

Thus, $800 of the $3,000 distribution in 1999 will not be included in the
individual's taxable income.  The remaining $2,200 will be taxable for 1999.

                              ROLLOVER IRA RULES
1.  IRA TO IRA

You may withdraw, tax-free, all or part of the assets from an IRA and reinvest
them in one or more IRAs. The reinvestment must be completed within 60 days of
receipt of the withdrawal. No IRA deduction is allowed for the reinvestment.
Amounts required to be distributed because the individual has reached age 70 1/2
may not be rolled over. The rollover of one IRA to another may be made no more
than once during a one year period.

2.  EMPLOYER PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS TO IRA

All taxable distributions (known as "eligible rollover distributions") from
qualified pension, profit-sharing, stock bonus and tax sheltered annuity plans
may be rolled over to an IRA, with the exception of (1) annuities paid over a
life or life expectancy, (2) installments for a period of ten years or more, and
(3) required minimum distributions under section 401(a)(9).

Rollovers may be accomplished in two ways. First, you may elect to have an
eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an IRA (a "direct rollover").
Second, you may receive the distribution directly and then, within 60 days of
receipt, roll the amount over to an IRA. Under the law, however, any amount
that you elect not to have distributed as a direct rollover will be subject to
20 percent income tax withholding, and, if you are younger than age 59 1/2, may
result in a 10% excise tax on any amount of the distribution that is included in
income. Questions regarding distribution options under the Act should be
directed to your Plan Trustee or Plan Administrator, or may be answered
by consulting IRS Regulations (S)1.401(a)(31)-1, (S)1.402(c)-2T and
(S)31.3405(c)-1.

                     PENALTIES FOR PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS

If you receive a distribution from your IRA before you reach age 59 1/2, an
additional tax of 10 percent will be imposed under Code (S)72(t), unless the
distribution (a) occurs because of your death or disability, (b) is for certain
medical care expenses or to an unemployed individual for health insurance
premiums, (c) is received as a part of a series of substantially equal payments
over your life or life expectancy, (d) is received as a part of a series of
substantially equal payments over the lives or life expectancy of you and your
beneficiary, or (e) the distribution is contributed to a rollover IRA, (f) is
used for a qualified first time home purchase for you, your spouse, children,
grandchildren, or ancestor, subject to a $10,000 lifetime maximum or (g) is for
higher education purposes for you, your spouse, children or grandchildren.

                                     Page 6
<PAGE>

                             MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS

Under the rules set forth in Code (S)408(b)(3) and (S)401(a)(9), you may not
leave the funds in your annuity contract indefinitely. Certain minimum
distributions are required. These required minimum distributions may be taken in
one of two ways: (a) by withdrawing the balance of your annuity contract by a
"required beginning date," usually April 1 of the year following the date at
which you reach age 70 1/2; or (b) by withdrawing periodic distributions of the
balance in your annuity contract by the required beginning date. These periodic
distributions may be taken over (a) your life; (b) the lives of you and your
named beneficiary; (c) a period not extending beyond your life expectancy; or
(d) a period not extending beyond the joint life expectancy of you and your
named beneficiary.

If you do not satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, then, pursuant to
Code (S)4974, you may have to pay a 50% excise tax on the amount not distributed
as required that year.

The foregoing minimum distribution rules are discussed in detail in IRS
Publication 590, "Individual Retirement Arrangements."

                                   REPORTING

You are required to report penalty taxes due on excess contributions, excess
accumulations, premature distributions, and prohibited transactions.  Currently,
IRS Form 5329 is used to report such information to the Internal Revenue
Service.

                            PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS

Neither you nor your beneficiary may engage in a prohibited transaction, as that
term is defined in Code (S)4975.

Borrowing any money from this IRA would, under Code (S)408(e)(3), cause the
annuity contract to cease to be an Individual Retirement Annuity and would
result in the value of the annuity being included in the owner's gross income in
the taxable year in which such loan is made.

Use of this annuity contract as security for a loan from the Company, if such
loan were otherwise permitted, would, under Code (S)408(e)(4), cause the portion
so used to be treated as a taxable distribution.

                             EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS

Tax Code (S)4973 imposes a 6 percent excise tax as a penalty for an excess
contribution to an IRA.  An excess contribution is the excess of the deductible
and nondeductible amounts contributed by the Owner to an IRA for that year over
the lesser of his or her taxable compensation or $2,000.  (Different limits
apply in the case of a spousal IRA arrangement.)  If the excess contribution is
not withdrawn by the due date of your tax return (including extensions) you will
be subject to the penalty.  This 6% excise tax is required to be paid each year
that the excess contribution remains in the IRA.

                                 IRS APPROVAL

Your annuity contract and IRA endorsement have been approved by the Internal
Revenue Service  as a tax qualified Individual Retirement Annuity.  When
received, such approval by the Internal Revenue Service is a determination only
as to the form of the annuity and does not represent a determination of the
merits of such annuity.

This disclosure statement is intended to provide an overview of the applicable
tax laws relating to Individual Retirement Arrangements.  It is not intended to
constitute a comprehensive explanation as to the tax consequences of your IRA.
AS WITH ALL SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS SUCH AS THE ESTABLISHMENT OR MAINTENANCE
OF, OR WITHDRAWAL FROM AN IRA, APPROPRIATE TAX AND LEGAL COUNSEL SHOULD BE
CONSULTED. Further information may also be acquired by contacting your IRS
District Office or consulting IRS Publication 590.

                             FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
            (WM STRATEGIC ASSET MANAGER, FORM NOS. 97010 AND 97011)


This Financial Disclosure is applicable to IRAs using a WM Strategic Asset
Manager Variable Annuity (contract form numbers 97010 and 97011) purchased from
American General Life Insurance Company on or after May 1, 2000. Earnings under
variable annuities are not guaranteed, and depend on the performance of the
investment option(s) selected.  As such, earnings cannot be projected.  Set
forth below are the charges associated with such annuities.

CHARGES:

  (a)  Annual contract maintenance charge of $35 deducted at the end of each
       contract year (waived if cumulative contributions are $50,000 or more).

  (b)  A maximum charge of $25 for each transfer, in excess of 12 free transfers
       annually, of contract value between divisions of the Separate Account.

  (c)  To compensate for mortality and expense risks assumed under the contract,
       variable divisions only will incur a daily charge at an annualized rate
       of 1.25% of the average Separate Account Value of the contract during
       both the Accumulation and the Payout Phase.

  (d)  Premium taxes, if applicable, may be charged against Accumulation Value
       at time of annuitization or upon the death of the Annuitant.  If a
       jurisdiction imposes premium taxes at the time purchase payments are
       made, the Company may deduct a charge at that time, or defer the charge
       until the purchase payments are withdrawn, whether on account of a full
       or partial surrender, annuitization, or death of the Annuitant.
