                                       8

<PAGE>

SEPARATE ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE

The Separate Account Accumulation Value under the Contract is the sum of the
Accumulation Unit Values held in the Variable Portfolios for You.

NUMBER OF ACCUMULATION UNITS

Your Contract is credited with Accumulation Units of the Separate Account when
amounts are allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s). For that portion of each
Purchase Payment and/or transfer amount allocated to a Variable Portfolio, the
number of Accumulation Units credited is equal to:

The sum of each Purchase Payment and/or transfer amount allocated to the
Variable Portfolio reduced by premium taxes, if any:

Divided by

The Accumulation Unit Value for that Variable Portfolio for the NYSE business
day in which the Purchase Payment or transfer amount is received.

The number of Accumulation Units will be reduced for Withdrawals of Contract
Value, annuitizations, amounts transferred out of a Variable Portfolio, the
Contract Maintenance Fee, if applicable, and applicable charges for any elected
features as set forth in Endorsements to this Contract. Any reduction to the
Contract Value will be made as of the NYSE business day in which We receive all
requirements for the transaction, as appropriate.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE (AUV)

The AUV of a Variable Portfolio for any NYSE business day is calculated by
subtracting (2) from (1) and dividing the result by (3) where:

     (1)  is the total value at the end of the given NYSE business day of the
          assets attributable to the Variable Portfolio minus any applicable
          liabilities other than those owed to You;

     (2)  is the amount equal to the daily Separate Account Charge plus the
          daily charge for any optional features that impose a daily charge;

     (3)  is the number of Accumulation Units outstanding at the end of the
          given NYSE business day.

FIXED ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE

The Fixed Account Accumulation Value, if any, is the sum of all amounts
allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account Option(s), if available, reduced
by any applicable premium taxes, plus all interest credited on the Fixed Account
Option(s) during the period that You have Contract Value allocated to the Fixed
Account Option(s). This amount will be adjusted for Withdrawals, annuitizations,
transfers, the deduction of the Contract Maintenance Fee and applicable charges
for any elected features as set forth in Endorsements to this Contract. The
Fixed Account Accumulation Value will not be less than the minimum values
required by law in the state where this Contract is issued.

FIXED ACCOUNT GUARANTEE PERIOD OPTIONS AND INTEREST CREDITING

The portion of Your Contract Value within the Fixed Account Option(s), if any,
is credited with interest at rates guaranteed by Us for the Guarantee Period(s)
selected. Interest is credited on a daily basis at the then applicable effective
interest rate for the applicable Guarantee Period. You may select from one or
more Guarantee Periods which We may offer at any particular time. We reserve the
right at any time to add or delete Guarantee Periods. A written notification
will be provided to the Owner [at least 30] days prior to the discontinuation of
a Guarantee Period. If You have allocated any part of Your initial Purchase
Payment to a Guarantee Period, the percentage allocated, as well as the duration
of the Guarantee Period, is shown on the election form and/or confirmation
thereof as completed by You.


                                       9

<PAGE>

The interest rate applicable to the allocation of a Purchase Payment or transfer
of Contract Value to a Guarantee Period is the rate in effect for that Guarantee
Period at the time of the allocation or transfer. If You have allocated or
transferred amounts at different times to the Fixed Account Option(s), each
allocation or transfer may have a unique effective interest rate associated with
that amount. We guarantee that the effective annual rate of interest for the
Fixed Account Option(s), including any of the available Guaranteed Periods, will
not be less than the Minimum Guarantee Rate as mandated by Your state, and shown
on the Contract Data Page. The minimum guarantee rate under Your Contract as
referenced on the Contract Data Page is at least equal to the lesser of: (a) 3%
per annum; or (b) the three-month average value of the five-year Constant
Maturity Treasury Rate reported by the Federal Reserve, rounded up to the
nearest 1/4th of 1%, for the second, third and fourth month preceding the first
day of the calendar quarter during which the Contract is issued, reduced by
1.25% and where the resulting interest rate is not less than 1%.

                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

We will deduct the following charges from the Contract:

CONTRACT MAINTENANCE FEE

The charge as shown on the Contract Data Page, if applicable, will be deducted
on each Contract anniversary on or prior to the Annuity Date. It will also be
deducted when the Contract Value is withdrawn in full if the Withdrawal is not
on the Contract anniversary. We reserve the right to waive the fee for Contract
Values [of $75,000.00 and up].

PREMIUM BASED CHARGE

The Premium Based Charge is calculated and deducted from Your Contract Value on
each Contract Quarter Anniversary for [seven] years following the date each
Premium is made. The applicable Premium Based Charge is based on the Accumulated
Premium Breakpoint achieved by the cumulative Premiums received by Us, according
to the table on the Contract Data Page.

The sum of Premiums made into Your Contract during the first Contract quarter
determines the initial Accumulated Premium Breakpoint and Premium Based Charge,
as shown on the Contract Data Page. The cumulative Premiums will not be reduced
for any partial Withdrawals taken for purposes of determining the applicable
Accumulated Premium Breakpoint and Premium Based Charge.

After the first Contract quarter, the Accumulated Premium Breakpoint and the
Premium Based Charge percentage applicable to subsequent Premiums are determined
by the sum of all Premiums previously received plus the subsequent Premium(s)
when received by Us. If the sum of Premiums results in a higher Accumulated
Premium Breakpoint being achieved, the Premium Based Charge percentage
applicable to the entire subsequent Premium will be based on the corresponding
Accumulated Premium Breakpoint. Once a Premium Based Charge is set for a Premium
it is fixed for [seven] years and will not change for that Premium even if
subsequent Premiums are received and/or partial Withdrawals are taken.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

The charge, as shown on the Contract Data Page, if any, may be deducted upon
Withdrawal of any portion of the Contract Value that is not considered a
Penalty-Free Withdrawal. See WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGE

This charge, as shown on the Contract Data Page, on an annualized basis equals a
percentage of the average daily ending value of the assets attributable to the
Accumulation Units of the Variable Portfolio(s) to which


                                       10

<PAGE>

the Contract Value is allocated. This charge compensates Us for the mortality
and expense risk and the costs of contract distribution assumed by Us. We
subtract this charge daily.

TRANSFER FEE

We permit [15] free transfers between Variable Portfolios and/or available Fixed
Account Option(s) each Contract Year. We may charge You a fee, as shown on the
Contract Data Page, for each additional transfer that Contract Year, except for
transfers made as part of an automated transfer program.

                               TRANSFER PROVISIONS

Subject to applicable restrictions, You may transfer all or part of Your
Contract Value amongst the Variable Portfolios and/or available Fixed Account
Option(s) (unless otherwise noted). The minimum amount that can be transferred
and the amount that can remain in a Variable Portfolio and/or available Fixed
Account Option are subject to Company limits. We reserve the right to restrict
Your transfer privileges, including but not limited to possible termination of
those privileges.

Furthermore, the Underlying Funds, may have their own transfer policies that are
applicable to this Contract as a result of investment in the Variable
Portfolios. These policies, likewise, may include termination of Your transfer
privileges and/or penalty fees resulting from transfer activity that is defined
as excessive according to the Underlying Funds' policies.

TRANSFERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE

Before the Annuity Date, transfers are subject to certain restrictions. You may
transfer all or a portion of Your Contract Value from one Variable Portfolio to
another Variable Portfolio(s) or any available Fixed Account Option(s) other
than the DCA Fixed Account Options. You may also transfer from any available
Fixed Account Option(s) to the Variable Portfolio(s) and/or any available Fixed
Account Option(s) of the Contract. A transfer will result in the redemption of
Accumulation Units in a Variable Portfolio and the purchase of Accumulation
Units in the other Variable Portfolio. Transfers will be effected at the end of
the NYSE business day in which We receive Your completed request for the
transfer.

TRANSFERS AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE

On and after the Annuity Date, transfers into and out of any available Fixed
Account Option(s) are not allowed. You may transfer all or a portion of Your
Annuity Units from one Variable Portfolio to another Variable Portfolio(s). A
transfer will result in the redemption of Annuity Units in a Variable Portfolio
and the purchase of Annuity Units in the other Variable Portfolio. Transfers
will be effected for the last NYSE business day of the month in which We receive
Your request for the transfer.

                              WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

On or before the Annuity Date and while You are living, You may withdraw all or
part of Your Contract Value under this Contract by informing Us in writing in a
form satisfactory to Us at Our Annuity Service Center. For a full Withdrawal,
this Contract must be returned to Our Annuity Service Center. The minimum amount
that can be withdrawn and the amount remaining after Withdrawal are subject to
Company limits. If the amount of a partial Withdrawal request reduces Your
Contract Value below the Minimum Amount Remaining After a Partial Withdrawal, as
shown on the Contract Data Page, We may treat Your request as a request for a
full Withdrawal.


                                       11

<PAGE>

Unless You tell Us otherwise in writing, Withdrawals will be deducted from the
Contract Value in proportion to their allocation among any available Fixed
Account Option(s) and the Variable Portfolios. Withdrawals will be based on
values for the NYSE business day in which the request for Withdrawal is received
at Our Annuity Service Center. In the case of a full Withdrawal, the Withdrawal
will be based on values for the NYSE business day in which the request for
Withdrawal and the Contract are received at Our Annuity Service Center. Unless
the SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS or DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS sections are in effect,
payment of Withdrawals will be made within seven calendar days.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

Withdrawals of all or a portion of the Contract Value may be subject to a
Withdrawal Charge as shown on the Contract Data Page. The Withdrawal Charge
percentage applicable to the initial Purchase Payment is determined by the
amount of the initial Purchase Payment, the corresponding Accumulated Premium
Breakpoint, as shown on the Contract Data Page, and how long the Purchase
Payment to which the Withdrawal is attributed has been in the Contract. If a
subsequent Purchase Payment is made that results in the sum of Purchase Payments
achieving a higher Accumulated Premium Breakpoint, as shown on the Contract Data
Page, then the percentage from the Withdrawal Charge Schedule corresponding to
that Accumulated Premium Breakpoint will apply to the entire subsequent Purchase
Payment. The duration of the Withdrawal Charge schedule applicable to each
Purchase Payment applies for a [seven] year period. Once a Withdrawal Charge
schedule is set for a Purchase Payment, it is fixed for [seven] years and will
not change for that Purchase Payment even if Subsequent Purchase Payments are
received and/or partial Withdrawals are taken.

No Withdrawal Charge is deducted on an amount which is considered a Penalty-Free
Withdrawal or a Purchase Payment no longer subject to a Withdrawal Charge.

For the purpose of determining the Withdrawal Charge applicable to a partial
Withdrawal, the Withdrawal will be attributed to amounts in the following order:
(1) any remaining Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount (except in the case of a full
Withdrawal); (2) Purchase Payments not yet withdrawn and no longer subject to
Withdrawal Charges; (3) Purchase Payments not yet withdrawn and still subject to
Withdrawal Charges; and (4) any remaining Contract Value. A Purchase Payment, or
portion thereof, is considered withdrawn when the Withdrawal incurs a Withdrawal
Charge, and are assumed to be withdrawn on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis.
You will not receive the benefit of a Penalty-Free Withdrawal if You take a full
Withdrawal.

The Withdrawal Charge will be assessed against the Variable Portfolio(s) and the
available Fixed Account Option(s) in the same proportion as the remaining
Contract Value is allocated unless You request that the Withdrawal come from a
particular Variable Portfolio or available Fixed Account Option. If the amount
of a partial Withdrawal request causes the Contract Value to be less than the
Minimum Amount Remaining After a Partial Withdrawal, as shown on the Contract
Data Page, We may treat Your partial Withdrawal request as a request for a full
Withdrawal.

PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS

On any day in a Contract Year before the Annuity Date, You may make a partial
Withdrawal of up to the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as of that day without
incurring a Withdrawal Charge. The Maximum Penalty-Free Withdrawal Percentage,
the Minimum Partial Withdrawal Amount and the Minimum Amount Remaining After a
Partial Withdrawal are shown on the Contract Data Page.

Each Contract Year, the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount is calculated as the
Maximum Penalty-Free Withdrawal Percentage multiplied by the remaining Purchase
Payments not yet withdrawn and still subject to Withdrawal Charges.


                                       12

<PAGE>

Although amounts withdrawn as Penalty-Free Withdrawals reduce the Contract
Value, they do not reduce the remaining Purchase Payments for purposes of
calculating future Penalty-Free Withdrawal amounts and Withdrawal Charges.
Partial Withdrawals in a Contract Year that are in excess of the Penalty-Free
Withdrawal amount incur a Withdrawal Charge applicable to the remaining Purchase
Payments and reduce those Purchase Payments on a first-in-first-out (FIFO)
basis. If You choose to take less than the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount during
a Contract Year, You may not carry over the unused Penalty-Free Withdrawal
amount in any subsequent Contract Years. A Penalty-Free Withdrawal is not
available to You if You take a full Withdrawal.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

Prior to the Annuity Date, You may elect to participate in a Systematic
Withdrawal Program by informing Us at Our Annuity Service Center. The Systematic
Withdrawal Program allows You to make automatic Withdrawals from Your Contract
monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. The minimum systematic withdrawal
amount is shown on the Contract Data Page. Any amount withdrawn through the
Systematic Withdrawal Program may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge as discussed
in the WITHDRAWAL CHARGE and PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS provisions. You may
terminate Your participation in the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time by
sending Us a written request.

                                DEATH PROVISIONS

Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, all payments of
benefits under this Contract will be made in a manner that satisfies the
requirements of IRC Section 72(s), as amended from time to time. If the Contract
is owned by a trust or other non-natural person, We will treat the death of any
Annuitant as the death of the "Primary Annuitant" and as the death of any Owner.

DUE PROOF OF DEATH

Due Proof of Death means:

     1.   a certified copy of a death certificate; or

     2.   a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as
          to the finding of death; or

     3.   a written statement by a medical doctor who attended the deceased
          Owner at the time of death; or

     4.   any other proof satisfactory to Us.

DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE

We will pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary upon Our receiving all Required
Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center. Unless You have previously
designated a payment option on behalf of the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary must
select one of the following options:

     1.   Immediately collect the death benefit in a lump sum payment. If a lump
          sum payment is elected, payment will be in accordance with any
          applicable laws and regulations governing payments on death; or

     2.   Collect the death benefit in the form of one of the Annuity Income
          Payment Options. If an Annuity Income Payment Option is desired, an
          option must be elected within 60 days of Our receipt of all Required
          Documentation. The annuity income payments must be over the life of
          the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life
          expectancy of the Beneficiary.


                                       13

<PAGE>

          Consistent with applicable tax rules, payments under this option
          generally must begin within one year after the Owner's death,
          otherwise, the death benefit will be paid in accordance with option 1
          above; or

     3.   If eligible, continue the Contract as the Spousal Beneficiary. On the
          Continuation Date, We will contribute to the Contract any amount by
          which the Death Benefit exceeds the Contract Value, calculated based
          on the Owner's date of death. This amount is not considered a Purchase
          Payment except in the calculation of certain death benefits upon the
          death of the Spousal Beneficiary. If this option is elected, no death
          benefit is paid out to the Spousal Beneficiary on the Continuation
          Date; or

     4.   A payment option that is mutually agreeable between You and Us.

The entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within the five year
period specified under applicable laws and regulations, commencing with the date
of death of the Owner unless option 2 or 3 was selected under DEATH OF OWNER
BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.

You cannot change any elected death benefit option specified on the Contract
Data Page. Upon Spousal Continuation, Your Spousal Beneficiary cannot change any
death benefit elected by You. Upon the Spousal Beneficiary's death, the entire
interest of the Contract must be distributed immediately under option 1 or 2 as
provided under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.

AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT

Upon Our receipt of all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center,
the Death Benefit payable upon the death of the Owner will be calculated. The
death benefit calculation is different depending on whether a living benefit or
guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit has been elected and if the benefit has
been terminated.

If You did not elect a living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit,
We will calculate the Death Benefit as the greater of:

     1.   The Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive
          all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or

     2.   Net Purchase Payment(s) received prior to the Owner's [86th] birthday.

If You elected a living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, We
will calculate the Death Benefit as the greater of:

     1.   The Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive
          all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or

     2.   Purchase Payment(s) received prior to the Owner's [86th] birthday
          reduced by:

               (a)  any Withdrawal Adjustments if the benefit has not been
                    terminated; or

               (b)  any Withdrawal Adjustments prior to the date the benefit is
                    terminated, and reduced proportionately by any Withdrawals
                    on and after the date the benefit is terminated.

SPOUSAL BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION


                                       14

<PAGE>

If the Spousal Beneficiary continues the Contract on the Continuation Date and
upon Our receipt of all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center,
the Death Benefit payable upon the death of the Spousal Beneficiary will be
calculated. The death benefit calculation is different depending on whether a
living benefit or a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit has been elected and
if the benefit has been terminated.

If the Spousal Beneficiary was Age [85 or younger] on the Continuation Date, and
if the Owner did not elect a living benefit or a guaranteed minimum withdrawal
benefit, We will calculate the Death Benefit as the greater of:

     1.   The Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive
          all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or

     2.   The Contract Value on the Continuation Date, plus Purchase Payment(s)
          received since the Continuation Date and prior to the Spousal
          Beneficiary's [86th] birthday, and reduced proportionately by any
          Withdrawals after the Continuation Date.

If the Spousal Beneficiary was Age [85 or younger] on the Continuation Date, and
if the Owner elected a living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit,
We will calculate the Death Benefit as the greater of:

     1.   The Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which We receive
          all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center; or

     2.   The Contract Value on the Continuation Date, plus Purchase Payment(s)
          received since the Continuation Date and prior to the Spousal
          Beneficiary's [86th] birthday, and reduced by:

               (a)  any Withdrawal Adjustments after the Continuation Date if
                    the benefit has not been terminated; or

               (b)  any Withdrawal Adjustments after the Continuation Date and
                    prior to the date the benefit is terminated, and reduced
                    proportionately by any Withdrawals after the Continuation
                    Date and on and after the date the benefit is terminated.

WITHDRAWAL ADJUSTMENTS

If a living benefit or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit is elected and the
benefit has not been terminated, the amount of the Death Benefit will be
adjusted for Withdrawals as follows:

     1.   If the current Contract Year's cumulative Withdrawals, including the
          current Withdrawal, are less than or equal to the Maximum Annual
          Withdrawal Amount, the amount of adjustment will be the amount of each
          Withdrawal.; or

     2.   If the current Contract Year's cumulative Withdrawals, including the
          current Withdrawal, are in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal
          Amount, the amount of adjustment is equal to the proportion that the
          amount of each Withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal
          Amount reduces the Contract Value.

If the Spousal Beneficiary was age [86 or older] on the Continuation Date, the
Death Benefit will be the Contract Value for the NYSE business day during which
We receive all Required Documentation at Our Annuity Service Center.


                                       15

<PAGE>

DEATH OF OWNER OR ANNUITANT ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE

If any Owner or Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Date and before the
entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, We will pay any remaining
portion of the annuity income payment(s) to the Beneficiary upon Our receipt of
all Required Documentation. For further information pertaining to death of the
Annuitant, see ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENT OPTIONS.

BENEFICIARY

The Beneficiary is selected by the Owner. While the Owner is living and before
the Annuity Date, the Owner may change the Beneficiary by written notice. A
change in Beneficiary will take effect on the date We receive the written notice
in a form satisfactory to Us at Our Annuity Service Center. If two or more
persons are named as Beneficiaries under the Contract, those surviving the Owner
will share equally unless otherwise specified by the Owner and each must elect
to receive their respective portions of the death benefit according to the
options listed under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE. If the Annuitant
survives the Owner, and there are no surviving Beneficiaries, the Annuitant will
be deemed the Beneficiary.

Joint Owners, if applicable, shall be each other's primary Beneficiary. Joint
Annuitants, if any, when the Owner is a non-natural person, shall be each
other's primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated
as a contingent Beneficiary.

If the Owner is also the Annuitant and there are no surviving Beneficiaries,
upon Our receipt of all Required Documentation, We will pay the Death Benefit to
the estate of the Owner in accordance with option 1, under DEATH OF OWNER BEFORE
THE ANNUITY DATE.

                               ANNUITY PROVISIONS

ANNUITY DATE

You may specify an anticipated Annuity Date. You may change the Annuity Date at
any time, at least [thirty (30)] days prior to the Annuity Date, by written
notice to Us at Our Annuity Service Center. The Annuity Date must always be the
first day of the calendar month. The Earliest Annuity Date After the Contract
Date is shown on the Contract Date Page. The Annuity Date must not be beyond the
Latest Annuity Date shown on the Contract Data Page. If no Annuity Date is
specified by You, the Annuity Date will be the Latest Annuity Date.

PAYMENTS TO OWNER

Unless You request otherwise, We will make annuity income payments to You. If
You want the annuity income payments to be made to some other Payee, We will
make such annuity income payments subject to receipt of a written request signed
by You and filed at the Annuity Service Center no later than [thirty (30)] days
before the due date of the first annuity income payment or subsequent annuity
income payment.

Any such request is subject to the rights of any assignee. No annuity income
payments available to or being paid to the Payee while the Annuitant is alive
can be transferred, commuted, anticipated or encumbered.

FIXED ANNUITIZATION

If a Fixed Annuitization has been elected, the proceeds payable under this
Contract less any applicable premium taxes, shall be applied to the payment of
the fixed annuity income payment option elected at rates which are at least
equal to the annuity rates based upon the applicable tables in the Contract. In
no event will the Fixed Annuitization be changed once it begins.


                                       16

<PAGE>

AMOUNT OF FIXED ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS

The amount of each fixed annuity income payment will be determined by applying
the portion of the Contract Value allocated by You for Fixed Annuitization on
the Annuity Date, less any applicable premium taxes, to the annuity factor
applicable to the fixed annuity income payment option chosen. In no event will
the Fixed Annuitization be changed once it begins.

AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS

(a)  FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENT: The dollar amount of the first
     Variable Annuitization payment will be determined by applying the portion
     of the Contract Value allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s) on the Annuity
     Date, less any applicable premium taxes, to rates which are at least equal
     to the annuity rates based upon the annuity factor applicable to the
     variable annuity income payment option chosen. If the Contract Value is
     allocated to more than one Variable Portfolio, the value of Your interest
     in each Variable Portfolio is applied separately to the variable annuity
     income payment option table to determine the amount of the first annuity
     income payment attributable to each Variable Portfolio.

(b)  NUMBER OF VARIABLE ANNUITY UNITS: The number of Annuity Units for each
     applicable Variable Portfolio is the amount of the first annuity income
     payment attributable to that Variable Portfolio divided by the value of the
     applicable Annuity Unit for that Variable Portfolio as of the Annuity Date.
     The number of Annuity Units will not change as a result of investment
     experience.

(c)  VALUE OF EACH VARIABLE ANNUITY UNIT: The value of an Annuity Unit may
     increase or decrease from one month to the next. For any month, the value
     of an Annuity Unit of a particular Variable Portfolio is the value of that
     Annuity Unit as of the last NYSE business day of the preceding month,
     multiplied by the Net Investment Factor for that Variable Portfolio for the
     last NYSE business day of the current month.

The Net Investment Factor for any Variable Portfolio for a certain month is
determined by dividing (1) by (2) and multiplying by (3) where:

          (1)  is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Variable Portfolio
               determined as of the last business day at the end of that month,
               and

          (2)  is the Accumulation Unit Value of the Variable Portfolio
               determined as of the last business day at the end of the
               preceding month, and

          (3)  is a factor that neutralizes the assumed investment rate of 3.5%.

(d)  SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS: After the first Variable
     Annuitization payment, subsequent Variable Annuitization payments will vary
     in amount according to the investment performance of the applicable
     Variable Portfolio(s) in which You are invested. The amount may change from
     month to month. The amount of each subsequent payment for each Variable
     Portfolio is (1) multiplied by (2) where:

          (1)  Is the number of Annuity Units for each Variable Portfolio as
               determined for the first annuity income payment

          (2)  Is the value of an Annuity Unit for that Variable Portfolio at
               the end of the month immediately preceding the month in which
               payment is due.


                                       17

<PAGE>

     We guarantee that the amount of each Variable Annuitization payments will
     not be affected by variations in expenses or mortality experience.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

ENTIRE CONTRACT

The Entire Contract between You and Us consists of this Contract, this
Application and/or confirmation thereof, and any attached endorsement(s) or
rider(s). An agent cannot change the terms or conditions of this Contract. Any
change must be in writing and approved by Us. Only Our President, Secretary, or
one of Our Vice-Presidents can give Our approval.

CHANGE OF ANNUITANT

If the Owner is an individual, the Owner may change the Annuitant(s) at any time
prior to the Annuity Date. To make a change, the Owner must send a written
notice to Us at least 30 days before the Annuity Date. If the Owner is a
non-natural person, the Owner may not change the Annuitant.

DEATH OF ANNUITANT

If the Owner is a natural person, the Owner and Annuitant are different, and the
Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date, the Owner becomes the Annuitant until
the Owner elects a new Annuitant. If there are Joint Annuitants, upon the death
of any Annuitant prior to the Annuity Date, the Owner may elect a new Joint
Annuitant. However, if the Owner is a non-natural person, We will treat the
death of any Annuitant as the death of the "Primary Annuitant" as defined in the
IRC, and as the death of the Owner, as explained in the DEATH PROVISIONS.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX

If the Age or sex of any Annuitant has been misstated, future annuity income
payments will be adjusted using the correct Age and sex, according to Our rates
in effect on the date that annuity income payments were determined. Any
overpayment from the fixed annuity income payment(s), plus interest at the rate
of [4%] per year, will be deducted from the next payment(s) due. Any
underpayment from the fixed annuity income payment(s), plus interest at the rate
of [4%] per year, will be paid in full with the next annuity income payment due.
Any overpayment from the Variable Portfolios will be deducted from the next
annuity income payment(s) due. Any underpayment from the Variable Portfolios
will be paid in full with the next annuity income payment due.

With respect to Contract issue Age and other age driven features in the
Contract, should We discover a misstatement of Age, We reserve the right to
fully pursue Our remedies including possible termination of the Contract and/or
revocation of any Age driven benefits.

PROOF OF AGE, SEX, OR SURVIVAL

We may require satisfactory proof of correct Age or sex at any time. If any
payment under this Contract depends on the Annuitant being alive, We may require
satisfactory proof of survival.

DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS

We may defer making payments, subject to state requirements, from the available
Fixed Account Option(s) for up to six (6) months. Interest, subject to state
requirements, will be credited during the deferral period.

SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS

We may suspend or postpone any payments from the Variable Portfolios if any of
the following occur:


                                       18

<PAGE>

(a)  the NYSE is closed;

(b)  trading on the NYSE is restricted;

(c)  an emergency exists such that it is not reasonably practical to dispose of
     securities in the Variable Portfolios or to determine the value of its
     assets;

(d)  the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits
     for the protection of Owners; or

(e)  We are on notice that this Contract is the subject of a court proceeding,
     an arbitration, a regulatory matter or other legal action.

Conditions in (b) and (c) will be decided by or in accordance with rules of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

CONFORMITY WITH STATE LAWS

The provisions of this Contract will be interpreted by the laws of the state in
which the Application and/or confirmation thereof was signed or such other state
as is required by law. Any provision which, on the Contract Date, is in conflict
with the law of such state is amended to conform to the minimum requirements of
such law.

CHANGES IN LAW

If the laws governing this Contract or the taxation of benefits under the
Contract change, We reserve the right to amend this Contract to comply with
these changes.

ASSIGNMENT / CHANGE OF OWNER

Unless restricted by federal tax law, You may assign this Contract before the
Annuity Date, but We will not be bound by an assignment unless the request for
assignment is signed by You and received by Us. Your rights and those of any
other person referred to in this Contract will be subject to the assignment.
Certain assignments may be taxable. We do not assume any responsibility for the
validity or tax consequences of any assignment. We reserve the right to not
recognize assignments if it changes the risk profile of the Owner of the
Contract as determined in Our sole discretion.

INSURABLE INTEREST

Evidence must exist that the Owner(s), Annuitant(s) or Beneficiary(ies) will
suffer a financial loss at the death of the life that triggers the death
benefit. Generally, We consider an interest insurable if a familial relationship
and/or economic interest exists. A familial relationship generally includes
those persons related by blood or by law. An economic interest exists when the
Owner has a lawful and substantial economic interest in having the life, health
or bodily safety of the insured life preserved.

CLAIMS OF CREDITORS

To the extent permitted by law, no right or proceeds payable under this Contract
will be subject to claims of creditors or legal process.

PREMIUM TAXES OR OTHER TAXES

We may deduct from Your Contract Value any premium tax or other taxes payable to
a state or other government entity, if applicable. Should We advance any amount
so due, We are not waiving any right to collect such amount at a later date. We
will deduct any withholding taxes required by applicable law.
