SURRENDER CHARGE

A Surrender Charge is imposed if the Certificate is surrendered or an Excess
Partial Withdrawal is taken at any time other than during the 30-day period
immediately prior to the Maturity Date of a Guarantee Period. The Surrender
Charge is calculated as a percentage of the Accumulation Value surrendered or
withdrawn, adjusted by the Market Value Adjustment. Surrender Charges vary
according to the duration of the Guarantee Period. The Surrender Charges are 8%
in the first Certificate Year and decrease by 1% per Certificate Year thereafter
until the end of the Guarantee Period as shown in the following table.

</TABLE>

Surrender Charges restart at the beginning of each Guarantee Period for the life
of the Certificate. Surrender is permitted on or before the Annuity Commencement
Date. Surrender Charges are not assessed if the Certificate is surrendered on
the Annuity Commencement Date.

PREMIUM TAXES

We deduct the amount of any premium or other state and local taxes levied by any
state or governmental entity when such taxes are incurred.

We reserve the right to defer collection of Premium Taxes until surrender or
until application of Accumulation Value to an Annuity Option. An Excess Partial
Withdrawal will result in the deduction of any Premium Tax then due us on such
amount. We reserve the right to change the amount deducted for Premium Tax
charges on future Premium Payments to conform with changes in the law or if you
change your state of residence.

                        INTRODUCTION TO THIS CERTIFICATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE CERTIFICATE

This is an agreement between you and us. We provide benefits as stated in this
Certificate. In return, you supply us with the Premium Payment required to put
this Certificate in effect.

This Certificate, together with any attached enrollment form, Riders or
Endorsements, constitutes the entire agreement. Riders and Endorsements add
provisions or change the terms of the basic Certificate.

THE OWNER

You are the Owner of this Certificate. You are also the Annuitant unless another
Annuitant has been named by you and is shown in the Schedule. You have the
rights and options described in this Certificate, including but not limited to
the right to receive the Annuity Benefits on the Annuity Commencement Date.

One or more people may own this Certificate. In the case of a sole Owner who
dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, we will pay the Beneficiary the
Death Benefit then due. If the sole Owner is not an individual, we will treat
the Annuitant as Owner for the purpose of determining when the Owner dies under
the Death Benefit provision (if there is no Contingent Annuitant). The estate of
a sole Owner will be the Beneficiary if no Beneficiary designation is in effect,
or if the designated Beneficiary has predeceased the Owner. In the case of a
Joint Owner of the Certificate dying prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the
surviving Owner(s) will be deemed to be the Beneficiary(ies) and any other
Beneficiary(ies) on record will be treated as the contingent Beneficiary(ies).

THE ANNUITANT

The Annuitant is the measuring life of the Annuity Benefits provided under this
Certificate. You may name a Contingent Annuitant. The Annuitant may not be
changed during the Annuitant's lifetime.

If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contingent
Annuitant becomes the Annuitant. You will be the Contingent Annuitant unless you
name someone else. The Annuitant must be a natural person. If the Annuitant dies
and no Contingent Annuitant has been named, we will allow you sixty days to
designate someone other than yourself as an Annuitant. If all Owners are not
individuals and, through the operation of this provision, an Owner becomes
Annuitant, we will pay the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary. If there are Joint
Owners, we will treat the youngest of the Owners as the Contingent Annuitant
designated, unless you elect otherwise.

THE BENEFICIARY

The Beneficiary is the person to whom we pay the Death Benefit if any Owner dies
prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. See "Proceeds Payable to the
Beneficiary" for more information. We pay Death Benefits to the primary
Beneficiary (unless there are Joint Owners in which case the Death Benefit is
payable to the surviving Owner). If the primary Beneficiary dies before the
Owner, the Death Benefit is paid to the Contingent Beneficiary, if any. If there
is no surviving Beneficiary, we pay the Death Benefit to the Owner's estate.

Unless otherwise provided, the Death Benefit will be paid as though the
Beneficiary died before the Owner if:
   (1) The Beneficiary dies at the same time as the Owner; or
   (2) The Beneficiary dies within 24 hours of the Owner's death.

<PAGE>


                  INTRODUCTION TO THIS CERTIFICATE (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE BENEFICIARY (cont'd)

One or more persons may be named as primary Beneficiary or Contingent
Beneficiary. In the case of more than one Beneficiary, we will assume any Death
Benefit is to be paid in equal shares to the surviving Beneficiaries. You may
specify other than equal shares.

You have the right to change Beneficiaries, unless you designate the primary
Beneficiary irrevocable. When an irrevocable Beneficiary has been designated,
you and the irrevocable Beneficiary may have to act together to exercise the
rights and options under this Certificate.

CHANGE OF OWNER OR BENEFICIARY

During your lifetime and while this Certificate is in effect, you may transfer
ownership of this Certificate or change the Beneficiary. To make any of these
changes, you must send us written notice of the change in a form satisfactory to
us. If there are Joint Owners, both must agree to the change. The change will
take effect as of the day the notice is signed. The change will not affect any
payment made or action taken by us before recording the change at our Customer
Service Center. See "Proceeds Payable to Beneficiary."

               How We Measure the Certificate's Accumulation Value
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SINGLE PREMIUM PAYMENT

This is a single premium annuity. However, the single premium may be paid in one
lump sum or in installments during the first Certificate Year. Any such planned
installments must be identified at the time the Certificate is issued and be
received by us at our Customer Service Center within 60 days after the
Certificate Date. There is no penalty if a planned installment is not paid.

PREMIUM PAYMENT ALLOCATION

Premium will be allocated among the Divisions of the Separate Account as elected
by you. Any premium installments will be allocated in the same manner, unless
you specify otherwise.

Where to Make Payments
Remit the Premium Payments to our Customer Service Center at the address shown
on the cover page. On request we will give you a receipt signed by our
treasurer.

TRANSFERS

You may transfer Accumulation Value between Divisions of the Separate Account
only during the 30-day period immediately prior to the expiry of a Guarantee
Period. Such transfers will occur on the Maturity Date of the ending Guarantee
Period. Surrender Charges and Market Value Adjustments will not apply to such
transfers.

GUARANTEE PERIODS

We offer Guarantee Periods of 5, 7 and 10 years. From time to time, we may offer
Guarantee Periods of durations other than those available on the Certificate
Date. We also reserve the right to cease offering a particular Guarantee Period
or Periods.

At the time the Certificate is issued, you elect an Initial Guarantee Period
from among the durations then being offered by us. The Guarantee Period elected
applies to all Divisions of the Separate Account. Only one Guarantee Period will
be in effect at any one time.

Upon the expiry of a Guarantee Period (the Guarantee Period Maturity Date), a
subsequent Guarantee Period will begin. Guarantee Period Maturity Dates will
always coincide with a Certificate Anniversary. The Initial Guarantee Period
Maturity Date applies to all installment payments received. Each subsequent
Guarantee Period will be the same length as the previous Guarantee Period,
unless: a) you elect a different duration from among those then being offered by
us; or b) the new Guarantee Period would extend beyond the Annuity Commencement
Date then in effect. If the period remaining from the expiry of the previous
Guarantee Period to the Annuity Commencement Date is less than the period you
have elected or the period expiring, the next shortest period then available
that will not extend beyond the Annuity Commencement Date will be offered to
you.

We will notify you prior to the Guarantee Period Maturity Date of your options
for renewal. In order to elect a different Guarantee Period, you must notify us
in writing before the Maturity Date of the Guarantee Period then ending. You may
not select a Guarantee Period that would extend beyond the Annuity Commencement
Date then in effect.

CERTIFICATE ACCUMULATION VALUE

The Certificate's Accumulation Value is the sum of the Accumulation Value in
each of the Separate Account Divisions.

<PAGE>


         HOW WE MEASURE THE CERTIFICATE'S ACCUMULATION VALUE (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTEREST DIVISION ACCUMULATION VALUE

The Accumulation Value in the Interest Division on the Certificate Date is the
premium allocated to the Division. Thereafter, the Interest Division
Accumulation Value equals the Accumulation Value on the Certificate Date, plus
any premium installments allocated to the Division, plus or minus any transfers,
less Gross Withdrawals, accumulated with interest.

The rate of interest will be as we declare. An Initial Interest Rate will be
declared at the time the Certificate is issued and applies to the Initial
Guarantee Period and, if the premium is paid in installments, to the first
installment only. Different interest rates may apply to each subsequent
Guarantee Period or premium installment as declared by us at the beginning of
the Guarantee Period or at the time the installment payment is received by us.
Interest will be credited daily at a rate to yield the declared annual Interest
Rate.

In case of surrender, withdrawal or transfer, interest will be credited on the
portion of the Accumulation Value surrendered, withdrawn or transferred up to
the date the surrender, withdrawal or transfer is requested. Accumulation Value
at any date within a Certificate Year will be determined by us with allowance
for the time elapsed in the Certificate Year.

TERM INDEXED DIVISION ACCUMULATION VALUE

Accumulation Value at the Beginning of Each Guarantee Period
In the Initial Guarantee Period, the beginning Accumulation Value equals the
premium allocated to the Division. In all subsequent Guarantee Periods, the
beginning Accumulation Value equals the Accumulation Value as of the end of the
prior Guarantee Period, less Gross Withdrawals taken on the Maturity Date of the
prior Guarantee Period, plus or minus any transfers.

Accumulation  Value During Each  Guarantee  Period
During the Initial  Guarantee Period,  the Accumulation  Value equals the sum of
all premium  installments  allocated to the  Division,  less Gross  Withdrawals.
During subsequent Guarantee Periods, the Accumulation Value equals the beginning
Accumulation Value less Gross Withdrawals

Accumulation Value at the End of Each Guarantee Period
At the end of the Initial Guarantee Period, the Accumulation  Value,  calculated
on the  Maturity  Date  equals  the  greater  of:
   (1)  The  sum of all  premium installments  allocated to the Division,
        less Gross Withdrawals,  multiplied by (1+ the Index Return)
        calculated separately for each premium installment;  or
   (2)  The Minimum Guaranteed Value.

At the end of all subsequent Guarantee Periods, the Accumulation Value,
calculated on the Maturity Date, equals the greater of:
     (1) The beginning Accumulation Value, less Gross Withdrawals, multiplied by
     (1 + the Index Return); or
     (2) The Minimum Guaranteed Value.

Amounts surrendered or withdrawn prior to the end of the Guarantee Period do not
participate in the Index Return during that Guarantee Period.

Minimum  Guaranteed Value During the Initial Guarantee Period,  the Term Indexed
Division Minimum Guaranteed Value equals:
   (1)      90% of the premium allocated to the Division; plus
   (2)      Accrued interest as declared by us; minus
   (3)      Net Withdrawals.

For  any  subsequent   Guarantee  Period,  the  Term  Indexed  Division  Minimum
Guaranteed Value equals:
   (1) 90% of the  Division's  beginning Accumulation Value for that Guarantee
         Period; plus
   (2) Accrued interest as declared by us; minus
   (3) Net Withdrawals.

<PAGE>


         HOW WE MEASURE THE CERTIFICATE'S ACCUMULATION VALUE (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TERM INDEXED DIVISION ACCUMULATION VALUE (cont'd)

The interest rate used in calculating the Term Indexed Division Minimum
Guaranteed Value is declared at the time the Certificate is issued and is
guaranteed for all premium installments and all Guarantee Periods.

Index Return
The Index Return for the Term Indexed Division is equal to (a x b) where:
  a is the Division's Index Growth, as described below, but not less than 0; and
  b is the Participation Rate for the Guarantee Period elected.

The Participation Rate declared at the time the Certificate is issued applies to
the Initial Guarantee Period and, if the premium is paid in installments, to the
first installment payment only. Different Participation Rates may apply to each
subsequent Guarantee Period or premium installment as declared by us at the
beginning of the Guarantee Period or at the time the installment payment is
received by us.

Index Growth
For the Initial Guarantee Period, the Division's Index Growth is calculated on
the Guarantee Period Maturity Date separately for each premium installment and
equals a minus b divided by b where:
     a is the average of the S & P 500 Index Values determined on the same date
       in each month of the last Certificate Year in the Guarantee Period as the
       Certificate Date; and
     b is the S & P 500 Index Value on the date the premium installment is
       received by us

For all subsequent Guarantee Periods, the Division's Index Growth is calculated
on the Guarantee Period Maturity Date and equals a minus b divided by b where:
     a is the average of the S & P 500 Index Values determined on the same date
       in each month of the last Certificate Year in the Guarantee Period as the
       Certificate Date; and
     b is the S & P 500 Index Value on first day of the Guarantee Period.

If there is no such corresponding date, the last day of the month is used. If
any date falls on a day the New York Stock Exchange is not open, the S&P 500
Index will be determined as of the next business day.

ANNUAL INDEXED DIVISION ACCUMULATION VALUE

Accumulation Value at the Beginning of Each Certificate Year
In the first Certificate Year, the beginning Accumulation Value equals the
premium allocated to the Division. In all subsequent Certificate Years, the
beginning Accumulation Value equals the Accumulation Value as of the end of the
prior Certificate Year, less Gross Withdrawals as of the Certificate
Anniversary, plus or minus any transfers, if applicable. (See "Transfers,"
p.8.)

Accumulation Value During Each Certificate Year
During the first Certificate Year, the Accumulation Value equals the sum of all
premium installments allocated to the Division, less Gross Withdrawals. During
subsequent Certificate Years, the Accumulation Value equals the beginning
Accumulation Value, less Gross Withdrawals.

Accumulation Value at the End of Each Certificate Year
At the end of the first Certificate Year, the Accumulation Value, calculated on
the Certificate Anniversary, equals the sum of all premium installments
allocated to the Division, multiplied by (1 + the Index Return), calculated
separately for each premium installment. At the end of all subsequent
Certificate Years, the Accumulation Value calculated on the Certificate
Anniversary, equals the beginning Accumulation Value, less Gross Withdrawals,
multiplied by (1 + the Index Return). However, if on the Guarantee Period
Maturity Date, the Minimum Guaranteed Value exceeds the Accumulation Value, the
ending Accumulation Value for that Certificate Year/Guarantee Period is set
equal to the Minimum Guaranteed Value.

Amounts surrendered or withdrawn prior to the end of each Certificate Year do
not participate in the Index Return during that Certificate Year.

<PAGE>



         HOW WE MEASURE THE CERTIFICATE'S ACCUMULATION VALUE (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANNUAL INDEXED DIVISION ACCUMULATION VALUE (cont'd)

Minimum Guaranteed Value
During the Initial Guarantee Period, the Annual Indexed Division Minimum
Guaranteed Value equals:
   (1)  90% of the premium allocated to the Division; plus
   (2)  Accrued interest as declared by us; minus
   (3)  Net Withdrawals.

For any subsequent Guarantee Period, the Annual Indexed Division Minimum
Guaranteed Value equals:
   (1)  90% of the Division's beginning Accumulation Value for that
          Guarantee Period; plus
   (2)  Accrued interest as declared by us; minus
   (3)  Net Withdrawals.

The interest rate used in calculating the Annual Indexed Division Minimum
Guaranteed Value is declared at the time the Certificate is issued and is
guaranteed for all premium installments and all Guarantee Periods.

Index Return
The Index Return for the Annual Indexed Division is calculated annually on the
Certificate Anniversary and is equal to the lesser of (a x b) or c where:
     a is the Division's Index Growth, as described below, but not less than 0;
     b is the Guaranteed Period Participation Rate for the Certificate Year then
     ending; and c is Guarantee Period Index Return Maximum for the Certificate
     Year then ending.

The Participation Rate and the Index Return Maximum declared at the time the
Certificate is issued applies to the first Certificate Year and, if the premium
is paid in installments, to the first installment payment only. Different
Participation Rates and Index Return Maximums may apply to each subsequent
Certificate Year or premium installment as declared by us at the beginning of
the Certificate Year or at the time the installment payment is received by us.
However, the Annual Indexed Division's Participation Rate will never be less
than 50% and the Index Return Maximum will never be less than 8%.

Index Growth
For the first Certificate Year, the Division's Index Growth is calculated
separately for each premium payment, and equals a minus b divided by b where:
     a is the average of the S & P 500 Index Values determined on the same date
       in each month of the Certificate Year as the Certificate Date; and
     b is the S & P 500 Index Value on the date the premium payment is received
       by us.

For all subsequent Certificate Years, the Division's Index Growth is calculated
for the Certificate Year and equals a minus b divided by b where:
     a is the average of the S & P 500 Index Values determined on the same date
       in each month of the Certificate Year as the Certificate Date; and
     b is the S & P 500 Index Value on first day of the Certificate Year.

If there is no such corresponding date, the last day of the month is used. If
any date falls on a day the New York Stock Exchange is not open, the S&P 500
Index will be determined as of the next business day.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

A Market Value Adjustment (MVA) will be applied to Excess Partial Withdrawals,
Surrenders and Accumulation Value applied to an Income Plan other than on, or
during the 30-day period immediately prior to, a Guarantee Period Maturity Date.
During the Initial Guarantee Period, the MVA applies to, and will be calculated
separately for, each premium installment payment, if any.

<PAGE>



        HOW WE MEASURE THE CERTIFICATE'S ACCUMULATION VALUE (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (cont'd)

Market Value Adjustments will be applied as follows:
   (1)   The Market Value Adjustment will be applied to the amount withdrawn or
         applied before deduction of any applicable Surrender Charge.

   (2)   For a Partial Withdrawal, or in the case where a portion of an
         allocation is applied to an Income Plan, the Market Value Adjustment
         will be calculated on the total amount that must be withdrawn or
         applied to an Income Plan in order to provide the amount requested.

The Market Value Adjustment is determined by multiplying the amount of the
Accumulation Value withdrawn or applied to an Income Plan by the following
factor:

                    (      1  +  I           )     N/365
                     ------------------------
                    (  1  +  J  +  .0050     )               -   1

Where I is the MVA Index Rate on the first day of the applicable Guarantee
Period, or during the Initial Guarantee Period only, on the date the premium
installment payment, if any, is received by us: J is the Index Rate for
Guarantee Periods equal to the number of years (fractional years rounded up to
the next full year) remaining in the Guarantee Period at the time of
calculation; and N is the remaining number of days in the Guarantee Period at
the time of calculation.

MVA INDEX RATE

The MVA Index Rate is the average of the Ask Yields for the U.S. Treasury Strips
as reported by a national quoting service for the applicable maturity. The
average is based on the period from the 22nd day of the calendar month two
months prior to the calendar month of Index Rate determination to the 21st day
of the calendar month immediately prior to the month of determination. The
applicable maturity date for these U.S. Treasury Strips is on or next following
the last day of the Guarantee Period. If the Ask Yields are no longer available,
the Index Rate will be determined using a suitable replacement method.

We currently set the MVA Index Rate once each calendar month. However, we
reserve the right to set the Index Rate more frequently than monthly, but in no
event will such Index Rate be based on a period less than 28 days.

                            Your Certificate Benefits
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While this Certificate is in effect, there are important rights and benefits
that are available to you. We discuss these rights and benefits in this section.

No Surrender Charge or Market Value Adjustment is assessed on surrenders or
withdrawals during the 30-day period immediately prior to the Maturity Date of
any Guarantee Period, provided written notice of surrender or withdrawal is
received in our Customer Service Center before the end of such 30-day period.
Surrender Charges and the Market Value Adjustment apply to each subsequent
Guarantee Period. Surrender Charges for each subsequent Guarantee Period start
at 8% for the first year, then decrease by 1% per year beginning in year 2 until
the Maturity Date of that Guarantee Period.

CASH SURRENDER VALUE BENEFIT

On or prior to the commencement of Annuity Income Payments if the Annuitant is
living, you may surrender this Certificate to us. To do this, you must return
this Certificate with a signed request for cancellation to our Customer Service
Center. We will usually pay the Cash Surrender Value within seven days; but, we
may delay payment as described in the "Payments We May Defer" provision.

The Cash Surrender Value will vary daily. We will determine the Cash Surrender
Value as of the date we receive the Certificate and your signed request in our
Customer Service Center. All benefits under this Certificate will then end.

The Certificate's Cash Surrender Value, while the Annuitant is living and on or
before the Annuity Commencement Date, is equal to the sum of the Cash Surrender
Value in each of the Divisions of the Separate Account.

In lieu of a lump sum payment, at the time of surrender you may elect to have
the Cash Surrender Value paid under an Annuity Option.

Interest Division Cash Surrender Value
The Cash Surrender Value for the Interest Division is equal to the Division's
Accumulation Value, adjusted for any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less
any Surrender Charges or other charges that have been incurred but not yet
deducted, including any applicable Premium Tax.

Term Indexed Division Cash Surrender Value
The Cash Surrender  Value for the Term Indexed  Division is equal to the greater
of a and b minus c where:

   a is the Division's Accumulation Value, adjusted for any applicable
     Market Value Adjustment less any Surrender  Charges;

   b is the Division's  Minimum Guaranteed Value, adjusted for any applicable
     Market Value Adjustment; and

   c is any other charges that have been incurred but not yet deducted,
     including any  applicable Premium Tax.

Amounts surrendered or withdrawn prior to the end of the Guarantee Period do not
participate in the Index Return during the Guarantee Period.

greater of a and b minus c where:
   a is the Division's Accumulation Value, adjusted for any applicable Market
     Value Adjustment less any Surrender Charges;
   b is the Division's Minimum Guaranteed Value, adjusted for any applicable
     Market Value Adjustment; and
   c is any other charges that have been incurred but not yet deducted,
     including any applicable Premium Tax.

Amounts surrendered or withdrawn prior to the end of each Certificate Year do
not participate in the Index Return during that Certificate Year.

PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION

You may make a Partial Withdrawal at any time by giving written notice to us.
Unless otherwise specified by you, any withdrawals will be taken first from the
Interest Division, then the Annual Interest Division and then the Term Index
Division. The maximum amount that can be withdrawn each Certificate Year without
being considered an Excess Partial Withdrawal is described below. Excess Partial
Withdrawals taken at any time other than during the 30-day period immediately
prior to a Guarantee Period Maturity Date are subject to a Surrender Charge and
Market Value Adjustment, as well as a deduction of any Premium Taxes not
previously paid. The minimum Partial Withdrawal amount is $100. In no event may
a Partial Withdrawal be greater than 90% of the Certificate's Cash Surrender
Value. After a Partial Withdrawal, the remaining Cash Surrender Value must be at
least $1000 to keep the Certificate in force.

To determine the Surrender Charge on Excess Partial Withdrawals, the withdrawals
will occur in the following order:
   (1) The Free Amount.
   (2) Any remaining Accumulation Value.

The Free Amount
If the Certificate is surrendered at any time other than during the 30-day
period immediately preceding a Guarantee Period Maturity Date, any withdrawal
during the same Certificate Year will be considered an Excess Partial
Withdrawal. Subject to this limitation, during the first Certificate Year,
Systematic Partial Withdrawals of interest earned in the Interest Division may
be taken without being considered an Excess Partial Withdrawal. In each
Certificate Year thereafter, up to 10% of the Certificate's total Accumulation
Value, determined as of the date of withdrawal, may be withdrawn from any one or
any combination of the Divisions without being considered an Excess Partial
Withdrawal.

Systematic Partial Withdrawals
Systematic Partial Withdrawals may be elected to commence after 28 days from the
Certificate Issue Date and may be taken on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
You select the day withdrawals will be made, but no later than the 28th day of
the month. If you do not elect a day, the Certificate Date will be used.

PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OPTION (cont'd)

Partial Withdrawals to Meet Minimum Distribution Requirements for Qualified
Plans
Partial  Withdrawals may be taken from a Certificate issued as a Qualified
Plan to meet Required Minimum Distribution Requirements on a monthly,  quarterly
or annual basis. A minimum withdrawal of $100.00 is required. You select the day
the  withdrawals  will be made, but no later than the 28th day of the month.  If
you do not elect a day, the Certificate  Date will be used. No Surrender  Charge
will  be  assessed  on  Required  Minimum  Distribution  Withdrawals;   however,
withdrawals  in excess of the Free  Amount  will be  subject  to a Market  Value
Adjustment.

Systematic Partial Withdrawals and Conventional Partial Withdrawals may not be
taken in the same Certificate Year. Systematic Partial Withdrawals and
Conventional Partial Withdrawals are not allowed when Required Minimum
Distribution Withdrawals are being taken.

PROCEEDS PAYABLE TO THE BENEFICIARY

If you die prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, we will pay the Beneficiary
the Death Benefit, calculated as of the date of death. The Death Benefit varies
by Division. The Death Benefit for the Interest Division and the Annual Indexed
Division is equal to the Division Accumulation Value. The Death Benefit for the
Term Indexed Division is equal to the greater of:
   (1) The Term Indexed Division's Minimum Guaranteed Value; and
   (2) The Term Indexed Division's Accumulation Value calculated using the
       Index Return as of the prior certificate Anniversary. For purposes of
       this calculation, the S&P 500 Index Value as of the prior Certificate
       Anniversary is used as the ending value in determining the Index Growth.

The Certificate Death Benefit is equal to the sum of each Division's Death
Benefit. No Surrender Charge or Market Value Adjustment will be applied. If
there are Joint Owners and any Owner dies, we will pay the surviving Owner(s)
the Death Benefit. We will pay the amount on receipt of due proof of the Owner's
death at our Customer Service Center. Such amount may be received in a single
lump sum or, while this Certificate is in effect and before the Annuity
Commencement Date, you may choose one or more Annuity Options for the payment of
Death Benefit proceeds. If, at the time of your death, no Option has been chosen
for paying the Death Benefit proceeds, the Beneficiary may choose an Option
within one year.

When the Owner (or all Owners where there are Joint Owners) is not an
individual, the Death Benefit will become payable on the death of the Annuitant
prior to the Annuity Commencement Date (unless a Contingent Annuitant survived
the Annuitant). Only one Death Benefit is payable under this Certificate. In all
events, distributions under the Certificate must be made as required by
applicable law

Spousal Continuation upon Death of Owner
If at the Owner's death, the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner is the
Beneficiary, then such surviving spouse may elect to continue the Certificate as
their own, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 72(s) or the equivalent
provisions of the U.S. Treasury Department rules for Qualified Plans.

How to Claim Payments to Beneficiary
We must receive proof of the Owner's (or the Annuitant's) death before we will
make any payments to the Beneficiary. We will calculate the Death Benefit as of
the date we receive due proof of death. The Beneficiary should contact our
Customer Service Center for instructions.

                             CHOOSING AN INCOME PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANNUITY BENEFITS

If you and the Annuitant are living on the Annuity Commencement Date, we will
begin making payments to you. We will make these payments under the Annuity
Option (or Options) elected by you. You may elect to apply any portion of the
Accumulation Value (minus any applicable premium tax) to any Annuity Option by
making a written request at least 30 days prior to the Annuity Commencement
Date. If, on the Annuity Commencement Date, a Surrender Charge remains, your
elected Annuity Option must include a Period Certain of at least five years
duration. If no Annuity Option has been elected by the Required Annuity
Commencement Date shown in the Schedule, payments will be made under Option 2 on
a 10-year Period Certain basis. The amount of the payments will be determined by
applying the Accumulation Value adjusted by a Market Value Adjustment, if
applicable, on the Annuity Commencement Date in accordance with the Annuity
Options section below. (see "Payments We May Defer") A Market Value Adjustment
may apply if the Annuity Commencement Date is other than on, or during the
30-day period prior to, a Guarantee Period Maturity Date. Any Surrender Charges
otherwise applicable will be waived.

For each Option we will issue a separate written agreement putting the Option
into effect.

Our approval is needed for any Option where:
   (1) the person named to receive payment is other than you or the
        Beneficiary; or
   (2) the person named is not a natural person, such as a corporation; or
   (3) any income payment would be less than the minimum annuity income
        payment stated below. (see "Frequency Selection")

Before we pay any Annuity Benefits, we require the return of this Certificate.
If this Certificate has been lost, we require the applicable lost Certificate
form.

ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE SELECTION

You select the Annuity Commencement Date. You may select any date following the
first Certificate Anniversary. Distributions from a Certificate funding a
Qualified Plan must commence no later than April 1st of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2. Otherwise, the
Annuity Commencement Date may be no later than the same date as the Certificate
Date in the month following the later of the Annuitant's 90th birthday or the
10th Certificate Anniversary. In applying the Accumulation Value, we may first
collect any Premium Taxes due us.

On the Annuity Commencement Date, the age of the Annuitant plus the number of
years payments are guaranteed must not exceed 100. If you do not select a date,
the Annuity Commencement Date will be in the month following the later of the
Annuitant's 90th birthday or the 10th Certificate Anniversary.

FREQUENCY SELECTION

You may choose the frequency of the Annuity Payments. They may be monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually or annually. If we do not receive written notice from
you, the payments will be made monthly. However, the minimum monthly annuity
income payment that we will make is $50. The minimum total income payments in
any one year is $250. We have the right to increase these minimums based upon
increases reflected in the Consumer Price Index - Urban (CPI-U) since July 1,
1993. If the Annuity Option or frequency of payments elected do not meet these
minimums, we have the right to make payments at such frequency as necessary to
meet these minimum requirements.

in the Schedule. Values for annual, semiannual or quarterly payments are
available on request.

Option 2.  Income for Life
Payment is made to the person named in equal monthly installments and guaranteed
for at least a period certain. The period certain can be 10 or 20 years. Other
periods certain are available on request. A refund certain may be chosen
instead. Under this arrangement, income is guaranteed until payments equal the
amount applied. If the person named lives beyond the guaranteed period, payments
continue until his or her death.

We guarantee each payment will be at least the amount shown in the Schedule. By
age, we mean the named person's age on his or her nearest birthday before the
Option's effective date. Amounts for ages not shown are available on request.

Option 3.  Joint Life Income
This Option is available if there are two persons named to receive payments. At
least one of the persons named must be either the Owner or Beneficiary of this
Certificate. Monthly payments are guaranteed and are made as long as at least
one of the named persons is living. The monthly payment amounts are available
upon request. Such amounts are guaranteed and will be calculated on the same
basis as the Table for Income for Life, however, the amounts will be based on
two lives.

Option 4.  Annuity Plan
Payment may be made under any other method mutually agreed upon by you and us.

PAYMENT WHEN NAMED PERSON DIES

When the person named to receive payment dies, we will pay any amounts still due
as provided by the Option agreement. The amounts still due are determined as
follows:
   (1) For Option 1 or for any remaining guaranteed payments in Option 2,
         payments will be continued. (
   (2) For Option 3, no amounts are payable after both named persons have died.
