Value in each Sub-Account bear to the total unloaned Certificate Value on the
date of deduction or allocation.

Company's other assets. The investment performance of the assets of each

                          SUMMARY OF FEES AND CHARGES

PREMIUM EXPENSE CHARGE


A charge may be deducted from each premium payment for state and local premium
taxes paid by the Company, to compensate the Company for federal taxes imposed
for deferred acquisition cost ("DAC") taxes, and for sales expenses related to
the Certificates. State premium taxes generally range from 0.75% to 5%, while
local premium taxes (if any) vary by jurisdiction within a state. The Federal
DAC tax deduction may range from zero up to 2% (up to 4% for certain COLI
policies) of premiums, depending on the group to which the Policy is issued The
charge for distribution expenses may range from zero to 10%.


For more information, see CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS -- "Premium Expense Charge."

MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS FROM CERTIFICATE VALUE

On the Date of Issue and each Monthly Processing Date thereafter prior to the
Final Premium Payment Date, certain charges ("Monthly Deductions") will be
deducted from the Certificate Value. The Monthly Deduction includes the
following charges:


    - The cost of insurance. The amount charged for the cost of insurance will
      vary with the age and underwriting class of the Insured. See CHARGES AND
      DEDUCTIONS -- "Cost of Insurance".


    - Certificate administrative expenses. The charge may be up to $10 monthly,
      depending on the group to which the Policy is issued.


    - For the first five Certificate years, a monthly expense charge to
      reimburse the Company for underwriting and acquisition costs. The charge
      is equal to a specified amount that varies with the Insured's Age and
      underwriting class for each $1,000 of the Certificate's Base Amount on the
      Date of Issue. For more information, see APPENDIX D -- MONTHLY EXPENSE
      CHARGES.


    - Separate Account administrative expenses. The Separate Account
      administrative charge may continue for up to 10 Certificate years and may
      be up to 0.25% of Certificate Value in each Sub-Account, depending on the
      group to which the Policy was issued.


    - Mortality and expense risks. The mortality and expense risk charge may be
      up to 0.90% of Certificate Value in each Sub-Account.


You may specify from which Sub-Account the cost of insurance charge, the charge
for Certificate administrative expenses, the Monthly Expense Charge, the
mortality and expense risk charge, and any charge for the cost of additional
benefits provided by rider will be deducted. If no allocation is specified, the
Company will make a Pro-Rata Allocation.

The Separate Account administrative charge and the mortality and expense risk
charge are assessed against Certificate Value in each Sub-Account that generates
a charge. In the event that a charge is greater than the value of the
Sub-Account to which it relates on a Monthly Processing Date, the unpaid balance
will be totaled and the Company will make a Pro-Rata Allocation.

Monthly Deductions are made on the Date of Issue and on each Monthly Processing
Date until the Final Premium Payment Date. After the Final Premium Payment Date,
a deduction for mortality and expense risk charges will continue to be assessed
monthly. No other Monthly Deductions will be made on or after the Final Premium
Payment Date. See CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS -- "Monthly Deductions from Certificate
Value."

free of charge. Thereafter, with certain exceptions, a transfer charge of $10
will be imposed for each transfer request to reimburse the Company for the costs
of processing the transfer. This charge may be increased, but is guaranteed not
to exceed $25. See THE CERTIFICATE -- "Transfer Privilege" and CHARGES AND
DEDUCTIONS -- "Transfer Charges."


OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES -- The Company reserves the right to impose a
charge (not to exceed $25) for the administrative costs associated with changing
the Net Premium allocation instructions, for changes in face amount, for
changing the allocation of any Monthly Deductions among the various Sub-
Accounts, or for a projection of values. See CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS -- "Other
Administrative Charges."



OPTIONAL RIDER CHARGES -- ADDITIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS MAY BE MADE AVAILABLE
UNDER CERTAIN OPTIONAL INSURANCE RIDERS FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE. SEE APPENDIX
A -- OPTIONAL BENEFITS.

</TABLE>


* Effective September 1, 1999, the management fee rates for the Select
Aggressive Growth Fund and Select Capital Appreciation Fund were revised. The
Management Fee and Total Fund Expense ratios shown in the table above have been
adjusted to assume that the revised rates took effect January 1, 1999.

(1) Until further notice, Allmerica Financial Investment Management Services,
Inc. ("AFIMS") has declared a voluntary expense limitation of 1.50% of average
net assets for Select International Equity Fund, 1.35% for Select Aggressive
Growth Fund and Select Capital Appreciation Fund, 1.25% for Select Value
Opportunity Fund, 1.20% for Select Growth Fund and Core Equity Fund, 1.10% for
Select Growth and Income Fund, 1.00% for Select Investment Grade Income Fund,
and Government Bond Fund, and 0.60% for Money Market Fund. The total operating
expenses of these Funds of the Trust were less than their respective expense
limitations throughout 1999.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Until further notice, AFIMS has declared a voluntary expense limitation of 1.20%
of average daily net assets for the Select Strategic Growth Fund. In 1999 the
Select Strategic Growth Fund received a reimbursement of $813 under its expense
limitation. However, this amount was not enough to make a difference in the
percentage shown as the Fund's total operating expenses and expense limitation
(both 1.20%).



Until further notice, AFIMS has agreed to voluntarily waive its management fee
to the extent that expenses of the Select Emerging Markets Fund exceed 2.00% of
the Fund's average daily net assets, except that such waiver shall not exceed
the net amount of management fees earned by AFIMS from the Fund after
subtracting fees paid by AFIMS to a sub-advisor.


Until further notice, the Select Value Opportunity Fund's management fee rate
has been voluntarily limited to an annual rate of 0.90% of average daily net
assets, and total expenses are limited to 1.25% of average daily net assets.

The declaration of a voluntary management fee or expense limitation in any year
does not bind AFIMS to declare future expense limitations with respect to these
Funds. These limitations may be terminated at any time.

(2) These Funds have entered into agreements with brokers whereby the brokers
rebate a portion of commissions. These amounts have been treated as reductions
of expenses. Including these reductions, total annual fund operating expenses
were 1.01% for Select International Equity Fund, 1.88% for Select Emerging
Markets, 0.84% for Select Aggressive Growth Fund, 0.88% for Select Value
Opportunity Fund, 0.81% for Select Growth Fund, 1.17% for Select Strategic
Growth Fund, 0.45% for Core Equity Fund, and 0.73% for Select Growth and Income
Fund.

(3) A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds paid was used to
reduce fund expenses. In addition, through arrangements with certain funds, or
Fidelity Management & Research Company on behalf of certain funds, custodian
credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of the fund's expenses. Including these reductions, total operating
expenses presented in the table would have been 0.87% for the Fidelity VIP
Overseas Portfolio; 0.65% for the Fidelity Contrafund Portfolio; 0.56% for the
Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio 0.65% for the Fidelity VIP Growth
Portfolio; and 0.28% for the Fidelity VIP II Contrafund Portfolio.


(4) The Advisor has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse its fee to the
Funds so that the Funds' total operating expenses will not exceed 0.45% for the
Deutsche VIT Small Cap Index and will not exceed 0.30% for the Deutsche VIT
Equity 500 Index. Without the reimbursement to the Funds for the year ended
12/31/99, the Management Fee, Other and Total Expenses would have been 0.35%,
0.83%, and 1.18% for the Deutsche VIT Small Cap Index and 0.20%, 0.23%, and
0.43% for the Deutsche VIT Equity 500 Index.



(5) These fees reflect an agreement by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan, to reimburse the portfolio, to the extent
certain expenses exceed 1.15% of the portfolio's average daily net assets during
fiscal year 2000. Had there been no fee waiver and expense reimbursements, Other
Expenses and Total Fund Expenses would have been 1.97% and 2.57%, respectively.



(6) The investment adviser of the Warburg Pincus Global Post-Venture Capital
Portfolio has voluntarily agreed to waive or reimburse a portion of the
management fees and/or other expenses resulting in a reduction of total
expenses. Absent any waiver or reimbursement, the Management Fee, Other Expenses
and Total Portfolio Expenses would have been 1.25%, 0.33% and 1.58% for the
Warburg Pincus Global Post-Venture Capital Portfolio, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 1999.



(7) Other Expenses reflect a 0.25% Administrative Fee and 0.13% representing the
Portfolio's organizational expenses as attributed to the class and prorata
Trustees' fees.


                                       10
<PAGE>

(8) Goldman Sachs Asset Management has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit
certain other expenses (excluding management fees, taxes, interest, brokerage
fees, and other expenses). Without any such limitation or reduction, the Other
Expenses would have been 0.42% for the Goldman Sachs VIT CORE Large Cap Growth
Fund, 0.96% for the Goldman Sachs VIT CORE Small Cap Equity Fund, and 1.06% for
the Goldman Sachs VIT Capital Growth Fund.


(+) MSDW Investment Management has voluntarily agreed to waive its management
fees and to reimburse the MSDW Technology Portfolio if processing of such fees
would cause the total annual operating expense of the portfolio to exceed 1.15%
of average daily net assets. This fee waiver is voluntary and may be terminated
by Miller, Anderson and Sherrerd, LLP ("MAS") at any time without notice.

The Underlying Fund information above was provided by the Underlying Funds and

                        SUMMARY OF CERTIFICATE FEATURES

This Summary is intended to provide only a very brief overview of the more
significant aspects of the Certificate. If you are considering the purchase of
this product, you should read the remainder of this Prospectus carefully before
making a decision. It offers a more complete presentation of the topics
presented here, and will help you better understand the product. However, the
Certificate, together with its attached application, constitutes the entire
agreement between you and the Company.

Within limits, you may choose the amount of initial premium desired and the
initial Death Benefit. You have the flexibility to vary the frequency and amount
of premium payments, subject to certain restrictions and conditions. You may
withdraw a portion of the Certificate's Surrender Value, or the Certificate may
be fully surrendered at any time, subject to certain limitations.

There is no guaranteed minimum Certificate Value. The value of a Certificate
will vary up or down to reflect the investment experience of allocations to the
Sub-Accounts and the fixed rates of interest earned by allocations to the Fixed
Account. The Certificate Value will also be adjusted for other factors,
including the amount of charges imposed. The Certificate will remain in effect
so long as the Certificate Value less any Outstanding Loan is sufficient to pay
certain monthly charges imposed in connection with the Certificate. The
Certificate Value may decrease to the point where the Certificate will lapse and
provide no further death benefit without additional premium payments.

You may choose among three Death Benefit Options. See THE CERTIFICATE --
"Election of Death Benefit Options" and "Guideline Premium Test and Cash Value
Accumulation Test." If the Certificate is in effect at the death of the Insured,
the Company will pay a Death Benefit (the "Death Proceeds") to the Beneficiary.
Prior to the Final Premium Payment Date, the Death Proceeds equal the Death
Benefit, less any Outstanding Loan, partial withdrawals, and any due and unpaid
charges. After the Final Premium Payment Date, the Death Proceeds equal the
Surrender Value of the Certificate. A Minimum Death Benefit, equivalent to a
percentage of the Certificate Value, will apply if greater than the Death
Benefit otherwise payable.

In certain circumstances, a Certificate may be considered a "modified endowment
contract." Under the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), any Certificate loan,
partial withdrawal or surrender from a modified endowment contract may be
subject to tax and tax penalties. See FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS -- "Modified
Endowment Contracts."

THE CERTIFICATE

The Certificate allows you, subject to certain limitations, to make premium
payments in any amount and frequency. As long as the Certificate remains in
force, it will provide for:

    - life insurance coverage on the named Insured;

    - Certificate Value;

    - surrender rights and partial withdrawal rights;

    - loan privileges; and

    - in some cases, additional insurance benefits available by rider.


The Certificates provide Death Benefits, Certificate Values, and other features
traditionally associated with life insurance policies. The Certificates are
"variable" because, unlike the fixed benefits of ordinary whole life insurance,
the Certificate Value will, and under certain circumstances the Death Proceeds
may, increase or decrease depending on the investment experience of the
Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account. They are


                                       12
<PAGE>

"flexible premium" Certificates, because, unlike traditional insurance policies,
there is no fixed schedule for premium payments. However, you may be required to
provide evidence of insurability as a condition to our accepting any payment
that would increase the Insurance Amount at Risk (the Death Benefit less the
Certificate Value). See THE CERTIFICATE -- "Premium Payments." Although you may
establish a schedule of premium payments ("planned premium payments"), failure
to make the planned premium payments will not necessarily cause a Certificate to
lapse, nor will making the planned premium payments guarantee that a Certificate
will remain in force. Thus, you may, but are not required to, pay additional
premiums. The Company may limit the maximum payment received in any certificate
year, but in no event will the limit be less than the maximum Level Premium
shown in the Certificate.


The Certificate will remain in force until the Surrender Value is insufficient
to cover the next Monthly Deduction and loan interest accrued, if any, and a
grace period of 62 days has expired without adequate payment being made by you.
See CERTIFICATE TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT.

CERTIFICATE VALUE AND SURRENDER VALUE

The Certificate Value is the total amount available for investment under a
Certificate at any time. It is the sum of the value of all Units in the
Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account and all accumulations in the Fixed Account
of the Company credited to the Certificate. The Certificate Value reflects the
amount and frequency of Net Premiums paid, charges and deductions imposed under
the Certificate, interest credited to accumulations in the Fixed Account,
investment performance of the Sub-Accounts to which Certificate Value has been
allocated, and partial withdrawals. The Certificate Value may be relevant to the
computation of the Death Proceeds. You bear the entire investment risk for
amounts allocated to the Separate Account. The Company does not guarantee a
minimum Certificate Value.

The Surrender Value will be the Certificate Value, less any Outstanding Loan.
The Surrender Value is relevant, for example, in the computation of the amounts
available upon partial withdrawals, Certificate loans or surrender.

ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS

Net Premiums are the premiums paid less any premium expense charge. The
Certificate, together with its attached enrollment form, constitutes the entire
agreement between you and the Company. Net Premiums may be allocated to one or
more Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account, to the Fixed Account, or to any
combination of accounts. You bear the investment risk of Net Premiums allocated
to the Sub-Accounts. Allocations may be made to no more than 20 Sub-Accounts at
any one time. The minimum allocation is 1% of Net Premium. All allocations must
be in whole numbers and must total 100%. See THE CERTIFICATE -- "Allocation of
Net Premiums."

CERTIFICATE ISSUANCE

At the time of enrollment, the Owner and Insured, if applicable will complete an
enrollment form. Upon payment of the initial premium, temporary insurance will
be provided. If any premiums are paid prior to the issuance of the Certificate,
such premiums will be held in the Fixed Account. If your enrollment form is
approved and the Certificate is issued and accepted, the initial premiums held
in the Fixed Account will be credited with interest at a specified rate
beginning not later than the date of receipt of the premiums at the Company's
Principal Office. IF A CERTIFICATE IS NOT ISSUED AND ACCEPTED, THE INITIAL
PREMIUMS WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU WITHOUT INTEREST.

Premiums allocated to the Fixed Account will earn a fixed rate of interest. Net
Premiums and minimum interest are guaranteed by the Company. For more
information, see MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FIXED ACCOUNT.

                                       13
<PAGE>

If your Certificate provides for a full refund of the initial payment under its
"Right to Examine Certificate" provision (as may be required in your state),
upon issuance all Certificate Value in the Fixed Account that you initially
designated to go to the Separate Account will be transferred to the Sub-Account
investing in the Money Market Fund of AIT. All Certificate Value will be
allocated as you have chosen not later than the expiration of the period during
which you may exercise the "Right to Examine Certificate" provision. See THE
CERTIFICATE -- "Enrollment Form for a Certificate" and "Free Look Period."


FREE-LOOK PERIOD

The Certificate provides for an initial Free-Look Period. You may cancel the
Certificate by mailing or delivering it to the Principal Office or to an agent
of the Company on or before the latest of (a) 45 days after the enrollment form
for the Certificate is signed, or (b) 10 days after receiving the Certificate
(20 or 30 days if required in your state). After an increase in The Face Amount,
a right to cancel the increase also applies. When you return the Certificate,
the Company will mail a refund to you within seven days. The refund of any
premium paid by check may be delayed until the check has cleared your bank. If
your Certificate provides for a full refund of the initial premium under its
"Right-to-Examine Certificate" provision as required in you state, your refund
will be the greater of (a) your entire premium, or (b) the Certificate Value
plus deductions under the Certificate, or by the Underlying Funds for taxes,
charges or fees.


If your Certificate does not provide for a full refund of the initial premium,
you will receive the Certificate Value in the Separate Account, plus premiums
paid (including fees and charges), minus the amounts allocated to the Separate
Account, plus the fees and charges imposed on amounts in the Separate Account."
For more information, see THE CERTIFICATE -- "Free-Look Period."


CONVERSION PRIVILEGES


During the first 24 Certificate months after the Date of Issue, subject to
certain restrictions, you may convert the Certificate to a flexible premium
fixed adjustable life insurance Certificate by simultaneously transferring all
accumulated value in the Sub-Accounts to the Fixed Account and instructing the
Company to allocate all future premiums to the Fixed Account. Where required by
state law, and at your request, the Company will issue a flexible premium
adjustable life insurance policy to you. The new Certificate will have the same
face amount, issue Age, Date of Issue, and risk classifications as the original
Certificate. See THE CERTIFICATE -- "Conversion Privileges."


PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL


After the first Certificate year, you may make partial withdrawals in a minimum
amount of $500 from the Certificate Value. Under Option 1 or Option 3, the Face
Amount is reduced by the amount of the partial withdrawal, and a partial
withdrawal will not be allowed if it would reduce the Face Amount below $40,000.
A transaction charge will be assessed to reimburse the Company for the cost of
processing each partial withdrawal. See THE CERTIFICATE -- "Partial Withdrawal"
and CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS -- "Transaction Charge on Partial Withdrawal."


LOAN PRIVILEGE

You may borrow against the Certificate Value. The total amount you may borrow is
the Loan Value. The Loan Value is 90% of an amount equal to Certificate Value.

Certificate loans will be allocated among the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts
in accordance with your instructions. If no allocation is made by you, the
Company will make a Pro-Rata Allocation among the Accounts. In either case,
Certificate Value equal to the Certificate loan will be transferred from the
appropriate Sub-Accounts to the Fixed Account, and will earn monthly interest at
an effective annual rate of not less than 4%. Therefore, a Certificate loan may
have a permanent impact on the Certificate Value even though it is

                                       14
<PAGE>
eventually repaid. Although the loan amount is a part of the Certificate Value,
the Death Proceeds will be reduced by the amount of any Outstanding Loan at the
time of death.

Certificate loans will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.9%, guaranteed not to
be greater than 5.5% per year, due and payable in arrears at the end of each
Certificate year. If interest is not paid when due, it will be added to the loan
balance. Certificate loans may be repaid at any time. You must notify the
Company if a payment is a loan repayment; otherwise, it will be considered a
premium payment. Any partial or full repayment of any Outstanding Loan by you
will be allocated to the Fixed Account or Sub-Accounts in accordance with your
instructions. If you do not specify an allocation, the Company will allocate the
loan repayment in accordance with your most recent premium allocation
instructions. See CERTIFICATE LOANS.

PREFERRED LOAN OPTION


If approved in your state, a preferred loan option is automatically available
under the Certificates. It may be revoked by you upon written request at any
time. If this option is available, after the tenth certificate anniversary
Certificate Value in the Fixed Account equal to the loan amount will be credited
with interest at an effective annual yield of not less than 4%. Preferred loans
currently bear interest at a fixed rate of 4% (guaranteed not to be greater than
4.5%).


There is some uncertainty as to the tax treatment of a preferred loan, which may
be treated as a taxable withdrawal from the Certificate. See FEDERAL TAX
CONSIDERATIONS -- "Certificate Loans." Consult a qualified tax adviser (and see
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS). THE PREFERRED LOAN OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE IN ALL
STATES.

CERTIFICATE LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT


Failure to make premium payments will not cause a Certificate to lapse unless:
(a) the Certificate Value is insufficient to cover the next Monthly Deduction
plus loan interest accrued, if any, or (b) Outstanding Loan exceeds the
Certificate Value. A 62-day grace period applies to each situation. Subject to
certain conditions (including Evidence of Insurability showing that the Insured
is insurable according to the Company's underwriting rules and the payment of
sufficient premium), the Certificate may be reinstated at any time within three
years after the expiration of the grace period and prior to the Final Premium
Payment Date. See CERTIFICATE TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT.


DEATH PROCEEDS

The Certificate provides for the payment of certain Death Proceeds to the named
Beneficiary upon the death of the Insured. The Death Proceeds under the
Certificate may be received in a lump sum or under one of the Payment Options
the Company offers. See APPENDIX B -- PAYMENT OPTIONS.


Three Death Benefit Options are available. Under Option 1 and Option 3, the
Death Benefit is the greater of the Face Amount or the applicable Minimum Death
Benefit. Under Option 2, the Death Benefit is the greater of the Face Amount
plus the Certificate Value or the Minimum Death Benefit. The Minimum Death
Benefit is equivalent to a percentage (determined each month based on the
Insured's Age) of the Certificate Value. See THE CERTIFICATE -- "Election of
Death Benefit Options" and "Guideline Premium Test and Cash Value Accumulation
Test."


Prior to the Final Premium Payment Date, the Death Proceeds will be equal to the
Death Benefit, reduced by any Outstanding Loan, partial withdrawals, and any
Monthly Deductions due and not yet deducted through the Certificate month in
which the Insured dies. On or after the Final Premium Payment Date, the Death
Proceeds will equal the Surrender Value. See THE CERTIFICATE -- "Death
Proceeds."

                                       15
<PAGE>
FLEXIBILITY TO ADJUST DEATH BENEFIT

Subject to certain limitations, you may adjust the Death Benefit (and thus the
Death Proceeds), at any time prior to the Final Premium Payment Date by
increasing or decreasing the Face Amount of the Certificate. Any change in the
Face Amount will affect the monthly cost of insurance charges. See THE
CERTIFICATE -- "Change in Face Amount."

The minimum increase in the Face Amount will vary by group, but will in no event
exceed $10,000. Any increase may also require additional Evidence of
Insurability. The increase is subject to a "free-look period" and, during the
first 24 months after the increase, to a conversion privilege. See THE
CERTIFICATE -- "Free-Look Period" and "Conversion Privileges."

You may, depending on the group to which the Policy is issued, have the
flexibility to add additional insurance benefits by rider. These may include the
Insured Term Rider and the Option to Accelerate Benefits Rider. See APPENDIX
A -- OPTIONAL BENEFITS.

The cost of these optional insurance benefits, if any, will be deducted from the
Certificate Value as part of the Monthly Deduction. See CHARGES AND
DEDUCTIONS -- "Monthly Deduction from Certificate Value."

INVESTMENT OPTIONS


The Certificates permit Net Premiums to be allocated either to the Fixed Account
or to the Separate Account. The Separate Account consists of 55 Sub-Accounts, of
which 28 are available under the Certificates. Currently, the Policyholder may
select up to 22 Sub-Accounts (the 12 Sub-Accounts investing in the Underlying
Funds of AIT plus up to 10 other Sub-Accounts), and the Certificates Owners may
make allocations only to those selected Sub-Accounts over the life of the
Policy.


Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in a corresponding Underlying Fund of one
of the following:

    - Allmerica Investment Trust ("AIT") managed by Allmerica Financial
      Investment Management Services, Inc. ("AFIMS")


    - Deutsche Asset Management VIT Funds managed by Bankers Trust Company



    - Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund ("Fidelity VIP") or the Fidelity
      Variable Insurance Products Fund II ("Fidelity VIP II") managed by

      Management



    - J.P. Morgan Series Trust II managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management
      Inc.



    - Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Universal Funds, Inc. ("MSDW Universal Funds"),
      managed by Miller, Anderson and Sherrerd, LLP.

      Co. ("PIMCO")

      Price-Fleming International, Inc.


    - Warburg Pincus Trust managed by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC
      ("CSAM").


The value of each Sub-Account will vary daily depending upon the performance of
the Underlying Fund in which it invests. The Certificates permit you to transfer
Certificate Value among the available Sub-Accounts

                                       16
<PAGE>
and between the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, subject to certain
limitations described under THE CERTIFICATE -- "Transfer Privilege." In some
states, insurance regulations may restrict the availability of particular
Underlying Funds. There can be no assurance that the investment objectives of
the Underlying Funds can be achieved.

For more information, see DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY, THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT, AND
THE UNDERLYING FUNDS.

TAX TREATMENT

The Certificate is generally subject to the same federal income tax treatment as
a conventional fixed benefit life insurance policy. Under current tax law, to
the extent there is no change in benefits, you will be taxed on the Certificate
Value withdrawn from the Certificate only to the extent that the amount
withdrawn exceeds the total premiums paid. Withdrawals in excess of premiums
paid will be treated as ordinary income. During the first 15 Certificate years,
however, an "interest-first" rule applies to any distribution of cash that is
required under Section 7702 of the Code because of a reduction in benefits under
the Certificate. Death Proceeds under the Certificate are excludable from the
gross income of the Beneficiary, but in some circumstances the Death Proceeds or
the Certificate Value may be subject to federal estate tax. See FEDERAL TAX
CONSIDERATIONS -- "Taxation of the Certificates."

The Certificate offered by this Prospectus may be considered a "modified
endowment contract" if it fails a "seven-pay" test. A Certificate fails to
satisfy the seven-pay test if the cumulative premiums paid under the Certificate
at any time during the first seven Certificate years, or within seven years of a
material change in the Certificate, exceed the sum of the net level premiums
that would have been paid, had the Certificate provided for paid-up future
benefits after the payment of seven level annual premiums. If the Certificate is
considered a modified endowment contract, all distributions (including
Certificate loans, partial withdrawals, surrenders or assignments) will be taxed
on an "income-first" basis. With certain exceptions, an additional 10% penalty
will be imposed on the portion of any distribution that is includible in income.
For more information, see FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS -- "Modified Endowment
Contracts."

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

THIS SUMMARY IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE ONLY A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE MORE
SIGNIFICANT ASPECTS OF THE CERTIFICATE. THE PROSPECTUS AND THE CERTIFICATE
PROVIDE FURTHER DETAIL. THE CERTIFICATE PROVIDES INSURANCE PROTECTION FOR THE
NAMED BENEFICIARY. THE CERTIFICATE AND ITS ATTACHED APPLICATION OR ENROLLMENT
FORM ARE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY.

THE PURPOSE OF THE CERTIFICATE IS TO PROVIDE INSURANCE PROTECTION FOR THE
BENEFICIARY. IT MAY NOT BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO PURCHASE FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE
LIFE INSURANCE AS A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR CURRENT LIFE INSURANCE, OR IF YOU
ALREADY OWN A FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE CERTIFICATE.

NO CLAIM IS MADE THAT THE CERTIFICATE IS IN ANY WAY SIMILAR OR COMPARABLE TO A
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN OF A MUTUAL FUND.

               DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY, THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT,
                            AND THE UNDERLYING FUNDS

THE COMPANY


The Company is a life insurance company organized under the laws of Delaware in
July 1974. Its Principal Office is located at 440 Lincoln Street, Worcester,

December 31, 1999, the Company had over $17 billion in assets and over $26
billion of life insurance in force. The Company is subject to the laws of the

the insurance laws and regulations of other states and jurisdictions in which it
is licensed to operate. The Company is an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of

1844, is the fifth oldest life insurance company in America.


The Company is a charter member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards
Association ("IMSA"). Companies that belong to IMSA subscribe to a rigorous set
of standards that cover the various aspects of sales and service for

Separate Account or the Company by the SEC.


The assets used to fund the variable portion of the Certificates are set aside
in the Separate Account and are kept separate and apart from the general assets
of the Company. Under Delaware law, assets equal to the reserves and other
liabilities of the Separate Account may not be charged with any liabilities
arising out of any other business of the Company. The Separate Account currently
has 55 Sub-Accounts, of which 28 are available under the Certificates.
Currently, the Policyholder may select up to 22 Sub-Accounts (the 12 Sub-
Accounts investing in the Underlying Funds of AIT plus 10 other Sub-Accounts),
and the Certificate Owners may make allocations only to those selected
Sub-Accounts over the life of the Policy.



Each Sub-Account is administered and accounted for as part of the general
business of the Company, but the income, capital gains, or capital losses of
each Sub-Account are allocated to such Sub-Account, without regard to other
income, capital gains, or capital losses of the Company or the other
Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in a corresponding investment
portfolio ("Underlying Fund") of the Allmerica Investment Trust, the Deutsche
Asset Management VIT Funds, the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund, the
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II, the Goldman Sachs Variable
Insurance Trust, the J.P. Morgan Series Trust II, the PIMCO Variable Insurance
Trust, T. Rowe Price International Series, Inc., the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
Universal Funds, Inc., or the Warburg Pincus Trust.

for managing and providing services to the Underlying Fund. However, management
fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be in effect for certain or all of the
Underlying Funds. For specific information regarding the existence and effect

emphasizes stocks of small U.S. companies.


SELECT CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND -- seeks long-term growth of capital.
Realization of income is not a significant investment consideration and any
income realized on the Fund's investments will be incidental to its primary
objective. The Fund invests primarily in common stock of industries and
companies which are believed to be experiencing favorable demand for their
products and services, and which operate in a favorable competitive environment
and regulatory climate.


GOLDMAN SACHS VIT CORE SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND -- seeks long-term growth of

common stocks that are believed to represent significant underlying value in

FIDELITY VIP EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO -- seeks reasonable income by investing
primarily in income-producing equity securities. In choosing these securities,
the Portfolio also will consider the potential for capital appreciation. The
Portfolio's goal is to achieve a yield which exceeds the composite yield on the
securities comprising the S&P 500. The Portfolio may invest in high yielding,
lower-rated fixed-income securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") which
are subject to greater risk than investments in higher-rated securities. See
"Risks of Lower-Rated Debt Securities" in the Fidelity VIP prospectus.

FIDELITY VIP HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO -- seeks to obtain a high level of current
income by investing primarily in high-yielding, lower-rated fixed-income
securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"), while also considering growth
of capital. These securities often are considered to be speculative, and involve
greater risk of default or price changes than securities assigned a high quality
rating.

its agencies or instrumentalities, and in related options, futures and
repurchase agreements.

short-term money market instruments with the objective of obtaining maximum
current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.

CERTAIN UNDERLYING FUNDS HAVE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND/OR POLICIES SIMILAR TO
THOSE OF CERTAIN OTHER UNDERLYING FUNDS. THEREFORE, TO CHOOSE THE SUB-ACCOUNTS
WHICH WILL BEST MEET YOUR NEEDS AND OBJECTIVES, CAREFULLY READ THE PROSPECTUSES
OF THE UNDERLYING FUNDS ALONG WITH THIS PROSPECTUS. IN SOME STATES, INSURANCE
REGULATIONS MAY RESTRICT THE AVAILABILITY OF PARTICULAR SUB-ACCOUNTS.

If required in your state, in the event of a material change in the investment
policy of a Sub-Account or the Underlying Fund in which it invests, you will be
notified of the change. If you have Certificate Value in that Sub-Account, the
Company will transfer it without charge on written request by you to another
Sub-Account or to the Fixed Account. The Company must receive your Written
Request within sixty (60) days of the later of (1) the effective date of such
change in the investment policy, or (2) the receipt of the notice of your right
to transfer. You may then change your premium and deduction allocation
percentages.

                                 VOTING RIGHTS

To the extent required by law, the Company will vote Underlying Fund shares held
by each Sub-Account in accordance with instructions received from Certificate
Owners with Certificate Value in such Sub-Account. If the 1940 Act or any rules
thereunder should be amended, or if the present interpretation of the 1940 Act
or such rules should change, and as a result the Company determines that it is
permitted to vote shares in its own right, whether or not such shares are
attributable to the Certificates, the Company reserves the right to do so. Each
person having a voting interest will be provided with proxy materials of the
respective Underlying Fund, together with an appropriate form with which to give
voting instructions to the Company. Shares held in each Sub-Account for which no
timely instructions are received will be voted in proportion to the instructions
that are received. The Company will also vote shares held in the Separate
Account that it owns and which are not attributable to Certificates in the same
proportion.

The number of votes which a Certificate Owner has the right to instruct will be
determined by the Company as of the record date established for the Underlying
Fund. This number is determined by dividing each Certificate Owner's Certificate
Value in the Sub-Account, if any, by the net asset value of one share in the
corresponding Underlying Fund.

We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions if the instructions require that the Fund shares be voted so
as (1) to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of one
or more of the Funds, or (2) to approve or disapprove an investment advisory
contract for the Funds. In addition, the Company may disregard voting
instructions that are in favor of any change in the investment policies or in
any investment adviser or principal underwriter if the change has been initiated
by Certificate Owners or the Trustees. Our disapproval of any such change must
be reasonable and, in the case of a change in investment policies or investment
adviser, based on a good faith determination that such change would be contrary
to state law or otherwise is inappropriate in light of the objectives and
purposes of the

                                       23
<PAGE>
Funds. In the event we do disregard voting instructions, a summary of and the
reasons for that action will be included in the next periodic report to
Certificate Owners.

               ADDITION, DELETION OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS

The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to make additions to,
deletions from, or substitutions for the shares that are held in the
Sub-Accounts or that the Sub-Accounts may purchase. If the shares of any
Underlying Fund are no longer available for investment or if, in the Company's
judgment, further investment in any Underlying Fund should become inappropriate
in view of the purposes of the Separate Account or the affected Sub-Account, the
Company may redeem the shares of that Underlying Fund and substitute shares of
another registered open-end management company. The Company will not substitute
any shares attributable to a Certificate interest in a Sub-Account without
notice to the Certificate Owner and prior approval of the SEC and state
insurance authorities, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other
applicable law. The Separate Account may, to the extent permitted by law,
purchase other securities for other certificates or permit a conversion between
certificates upon request by a Certificate Owner.

The Company also reserves the right to establish additional Sub-Accounts of the
Separate Account, each of which would invest in shares corresponding to a new
Underlying Fund, or in shares of another investment company having a specified
investment objective.

Subject to applicable law and any required SEC approval, the Company may, in its
sole discretion, establish new Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more
Sub-Accounts if marketing needs, tax considerations or investment conditions
warrant. Any new Sub-Accounts may be made available to existing Certificate
Owners on a basis to be determined by the Company.

If the Company deems it to be in the best interest of Certificate Owners, and
subject to any approvals that may be required under applicable law, the Separate
Account or any Sub-Accounts may be operated as a management company under the
1940 Act, may be deregistered under the 1940 Act if registration is no longer
required, or may be combined with other Sub-Accounts or other separate accounts
of the Company.


Shares of the Funds of AIT are also issued to separate accounts of the Company
and its affiliates which issue variable annuity contracts ("mixed funding").
Shares of the portfolios of the Underlying Funds are also issued to variable
annuity and variable life separate accounts of other unaffiliated insurance
companies ("mixed and shared funding"). It is conceivable that in the future
such mixed funding or shared funding may be disadvantageous for variable life
contract owners or variable annuity contract owners. Although the Company and
the Underlying Funds do not currently foresee any such disadvantages, the
Company and the respective Trustees intend to monitor events in order to
identify any material conflicts between such contract owners and to determine
what action, if any, should be taken in response thereto. If the Trustees were
to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts, the Company will bear the expenses.



If any of these substitutions or changes are made, the Company may, by
appropriate endorsement, change the Certificate to reflect the substitution or
change and will notify Certificate Owners of all such changes.

                                THE CERTIFICATE


The Certificates may be issued either as certificates under a group policy or as
individual policies to members of a particular group. The Insured is generally
an individual who is an employee or a member of a group. Under a group policy,
the owner of the Certificates is generally an employer or a trustee of a trust.
However, the Certificates may be owned either by the employer/trustee or by
individuals.


The Certificate may be issued with an Insured Term Rider. Depending on your
circumstances, it may be less costly to purchase more insurance coverage under
the Insured Term Rider than under the Base Amount of insurance coverage.

ENROLLMENT FORM FOR A CERTIFICATE

Upon receipt at its Principal Office of a completed enrollment form from a
prospective Certificate Owner, the Company will follow certain insurance
underwriting procedures designed to determine whether the proposed Insured is
insurable. This process may involve such verification procedures as medical
examinations and may require that further information be provided by the
proposed Certificate Owner before a determination of insurability can be made. A
Certificate cannot be issued until this underwriting procedure has been
completed. The Company reserves the right to reject an enrollment form which
does not meet the Company's underwriting guidelines, but in underwriting
insurance, the Company shall comply with all applicable federal and state
prohibitions concerning unfair discrimination.


At the time of enrollment, the Owner and Insured, if applicable, will generally
complete an enrollment form. Upon payment of the initial premium, temporary
insurance will be provided. Issuance of the continuing insurance coverage
provided under the Certificate is dependent upon completion of the underwriting
requirements, payment of sufficient initial premium, and delivery of the
Certificate while the Insured is still living.


Pending completion of insurance underwriting and Certificate issuance
procedures, any initial premiums will be held in the Fixed Account. If the
enrollment form is approved and the Certificate is issued and accepted, the
initial premium held in the Fixed Account will be credited with interest not
later than the date of receipt of the premium at the Principal Office. IF THE
CERTIFICATE IS NOT ISSUED, THE PREMIUMS WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU WITHOUT
INTEREST.

If your Certificate provides for a full refund of the initial payment under its
"Right to Examine Certificate" provision (as may be required in your state),
upon issuance all Certificate Value in the Fixed Account that you initially
designated to go to the Separate Account will be transferred to the Sub-Account
investing in the Money Market Fund of AIT. All Certificate Value will be
allocated as you have chosen not later than the expiration of the period during
which you may exercise the "Right to Examine Certificate" provision. See "Free
Look Period," below.

FREE-LOOK PERIOD

The Certificate provides for an initial Free-Look Period. You may cancel the
Certificate by mailing or delivering it to the Principal Office or to an agent
of the Company on or before the latest of (a) 45 days after the enrollment form
for the Certificate is signed, (b) 10 days (20 or 30 days if required in your
state) after you receive the Certificate.

When you return the Certificate, the Company will mail a refund to you within
seven days. The refund of any premium paid by check may be delayed until the
check has cleared your bank. If the Certificate provides for a full refund of
the initial premium under its "Right-to-Examine Certificate" provision as
required in your state, your refund will be the greater of (a) your entire
premium, or (b) the Certificate Value plus deductions under the Certificate or
by the Underlying Funds for taxes, charges or fees. If the Certificate does not
provide for a full refund of the initial premium, you will receive the
Certificate Value in the Separate Account, plus

                                       25
<PAGE>
premiums paid (including fees and charges), minus the amounts allocated to the
Separate Account, plus the fees and charges imposed on amounts in the Separate
Account.

After an increase in the Face Amount, a right to cancel the increase also
applies. The Company will mail or personally deliver a notice of a "Free Look"
with respect to the increase. You will have the right to cancel the increase
before the latest of (a) 45 days after the enrollment form for the increase is
signed, or (b) 10 days after you receive the new specifications pages issued for
the increase. Upon canceling the increase, you will receive a credit to the
Certificate Value of charges which would not have been deducted but for the
increase. The amount to be credited will be refunded if you so request.

CONVERSION PRIVILEGES

Once during the first 24 months after the Date of Issue or after the effective
date of an increase in Face Amount, while the Certificate is in force, you may
convert your Certificate without Evidence of Insurability to a flexible premium
adjustable life insurance policy with fixed and guaranteed minimum benefits.
Assuming that there have been no increases in the initial Face Amount, you can
accomplish this within 24 months after the Date of Issue by transferring,
without charge, the Certificate Value in the Separate Account to the Fixed
Account and by simultaneously changing your premium allocation instructions to
allocate future premium payments to the Fixed Account. Within 24 months after
the effective date of each increase, you can transfer, without charge, all or
part of the Certificate Value in the Separate Account to the Fixed Account and
simultaneously change your premium allocation instructions to allocate all or
part of future premium payments to the Fixed Account.

Where required by state law, and at your request, the Company will issue a
flexible premium adjustable life insurance policy to you. The new policy will
have the same face amount, issue age, date of issue, and risk classification as
the original Certificate.

PREMIUM PAYMENTS

Premium payments are payable to the Company, and may be mailed to the Principal
Office or paid through an authorized agent of the Company. All premium payments
after the initial premium payment are credited to the Separate Account or Fixed
Account as of date of receipt at the Principal Office.

You may establish a schedule of planned premiums that will be billed by the
Company at regular intervals. Failure to pay planned premiums, however, will not
itself cause the Certificate to lapse. You may also make unscheduled premium
payments at any time prior to the Final Premium Payment Date or skip planned
premium payments, subject to the maximum and minimum premium limitations
described below. Therefore, unlike conventional insurance policies, a
Certificate does not obligate you to pay premiums in accordance with a rigid and
inflexible premium schedule.

You may also elect to pay premiums by means of a monthly automatic payment
("MAP") procedure. Under a MAP procedure, amounts will be deducted from your
checking account each month, generally on the Monthly Processing Date, and
applied as a premium under the Certificate. The minimum payment permitted under
MAP is $400.

Premiums are not limited as to frequency and number. However, you may be
required to provide evidence of insurability as a condition to our accepting any
payment that would increase the Insurance Amount at Risk (the Death Benefit less
the Certificate Value). If evidence of insurability is required, the Company
will return the payment to you and if your payment exceeds our maximum limit
(defined below) the Company may not accept any additional payments which would
increase the Insurance Amount at Risk and shall not provide any additional death
benefit until (1) evidence of insurability for the Insured has been received by
the Company and (2) the Company has notified you that the Insured is in a
satisfactory underwriting class. You may then

                                       26
<PAGE>
make payments that increase the Insurance Amount at Risk for 60 days (but not
later than the Final Payment Date) following the date of such notification by
the Company.


No premium payment may be less than $400 without the Company's consent.
Moreover, premium payments must be sufficient to cover the next Monthly
Deduction plus loan interest accrued, or the Certificate may lapse. See
CERTIFICATE TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT.


The Company may limit the maximum payment received in any certificate year but
in no event will the limit be less than the maximum premium shown in the
Certificate. In no event may the total of all premiums paid exceed the current
maximum premium limitations set forth in the Certificate. These maximum premium
limitations will change whenever there is any change in the Face Amount, the
addition or deletion of a rider, or a change in the Death Benefit Option.

If a premium is paid which would result in total premiums exceeding the current
maximum premium limitations under Federal tax laws, the Company may only accept
that portion of the premiums which shall make total premiums equal the maximum.
Any part of the premiums in excess of that amount will be returned and no
further premiums will be accepted until allowed by the current maximum premium
limitation prescribed by Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rules. Notwithstanding
the current maximum premium limitations, however, the Company will accept a
premium which is needed in order to prevent a lapse of the Certificate during a
Certificate year. See CERTIFICATE TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT.

ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS

The Net Premium equals the premium paid less any premium expense charge. In the
enrollment form for the Certificate, you indicate the initial allocation of Net
Premiums among the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account.
You may allocate premiums to one or more Sub-Accounts, but may not have
Certificate Value in more than twenty Sub-Accounts at any one time. The minimum
amount which may be allocated to a Sub-Account is 1% of Net Premium paid.
Allocation percentages must be in whole numbers (for example, 33 1/3% may not be
chosen) and must total 100%.

You may change the allocation of future Net Premiums at any time pursuant to
written or telephone request. If allocation changes by telephone are elected by
the Certificate Owner, a properly completed authorization form must be on file
before telephone requests will be honored. The policy of the Company and its
agents and affiliates is that they will not be responsible for losses resulting
from acting upon telephone requests reasonably believed to be genuine. The
Company will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine; otherwise, the Company may be liable for
any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. Such procedures may
include, among other things, requiring some form of personal identification
prior to acting upon instructions received by telephone. All transfer
instructions by telephone are tape recorded.

An allocation change will be effective as of the date of receipt of the notice
at the Principal Office. No charge is currently imposed for changing premium
allocation instructions. The Company reserves the right to impose such a charge
in the future, but guarantees that the charge will not exceed $25.

The Certificate Value in the Sub-Accounts will vary with their investment
experience; you bear this investment risk. The investment performance may affect
the Death Proceeds as well. Certificate Owners should periodically review their
allocations of premiums and Certificate Value in light of market conditions and
overall financial planning requirements.

TRANSFER PRIVILEGE


Subject to the Company's then current rules, you may at any time transfer the
Certificate Value among the Sub-Accounts or between a Sub-Account and the Fixed
Account. However, the Certificate Value held in the


                                       27
<PAGE>

Fixed Account to secure a Certificate loan may not be transferred. The Company
may at any time revoke, modify, or limit the transfer privilege.


All requests for transfers must be made to the Principal Office. The amount
transferred will be based on the Certificate Value in the Accounts next computed
after receipt of the transfer order. The Company will make transfers pursuant to
written or telephone requests. As discussed in THE CERTIFICATE -- "Allocation of
Net Premiums," a properly completed authorization form must be on file at the
Principal Office before telephone requests will be honored.

Transfers to and from the Fixed Account are currently permitted only if:

(a) There has been at least a ninety (90) day period since the last transfer
    from the Fixed Account; and

(b) The amount transferred from the Fixed Account in each transfer does not
    exceed the lesser of $100,000 or 25% of the Accumulated Value under the
    Certificate.

The first twelve transfers in a Certificate year will be free of any charge.
Thereafter, a $10 transfer charge will be deducted from the amount transferred
for each transfer in that Certificate year. The Company may increase or decrease
this charge, but it is guaranteed never to exceed $25. The first automatic
transfer counts as one transfer towards the twelve free transfers allowed in
each Certificate year; each subsequent automatic transfer is without charge and
does not reduce the remaining number of transfers which may be made free of
charge. Any transfers made with respect to a conversion privilege, Certificate
loan or material change in investment policy will not count towards the twelve
free transfers.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING AND AUTOMATIC REBALANCING OPTIONS

You may have automatic transfers of at least $100 each made on a periodic basis
(a) from the Sub-Accounts which invest in the Money Market Fund and Government
Bond Fund of AIT to one or more of the other Sub-Accounts ("Dollar Cost
Averaging Option"), or (b) to automatically reallocate Certificate Value among
the Sub-Accounts ("Automatic Rebalancing Option"). Automatic transfers may be
made on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual schedule.
Generally, all transfers will be processed on the 15th of each scheduled month.
However, if the 15th is not a business day or is the Monthly Processing Date,
the automatic transfer will be processed on the next business day. The Dollar
Cost Averaging Option and the Automatic Rebalancing Option may not be in effect
at the same time.

TRANSFER PRIVILEGE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE LIMITATIONS

The transfer privilege is subject to the consent of the Company. The Company
reserves the right to impose limitations on transfers including, but not limited
to: (1) the minimum amount that may be transferred, (2) the minimum amount that
may remain in a Sub-Account following a transfer from that Sub-Account, (3) the
minimum period of time between transfers involving the Fixed Account, and (4)
the maximum amount that may be transferred each time from the Fixed Account.


The Certificates are not designed for use by individuals, professional market
timing organizations, or other entities that do "market timing," programmed
transfers, or frequent transfers. These and similar activities may be disruptive
to the Underlying Funds, and may adversely affect an Underlying Fund's ability
to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objectives and policies.
If it appears that there is a pattern of transfers that coincides with a market
timing strategy and/or that is disruptive to the Underlying Funds, the Company
reserves the right to refuse transfers or to take other action to prevent or
limit the use of such activities.


ELECTION OF DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS

Federal tax law requires a Guideline Minimum Death Benefit in relation to cash
value for a Certificate to qualify as life insurance. Under current federal tax
law, either the Guideline Premium test or the Cash Value

                                       28
<PAGE>
Accumulation test can be used to determine if the Certificate complies with the
definition of "life insurance" in Section 7702 of the Code. At the time of
application, the Employer may elect either of the tests.

The Guideline Premium test limits the amount of premiums payable under a
Certificate to a certain amount for an insured of a particular age and sex.
Under the Guideline Premium test, the Certificate Owner may choose between Death
Benefit Option 1 and Option 2, as described below. After issuance of the
Certificate, the Certificate Owner may change the selection from Option 1 to
Option 2 or vice versa.


The Cash Value Accumulation test requires that the Death Benefit must be
sufficient so that the Certificate Value, as defined in Section 7702, does not
at any time exceed the net single premium required to fund the future benefits
under the Certificate. In the event the maximum premium limit applies, we
reserve the right to obtain evidence of insurability which is satisfactory to us
as a condition to accepting excess premium. IF THE CASH VALUE ACCUMULATION TEST
IS CHOSEN BY THE EMPLOYER, ONLY DEATH BENEFIT OPTION 3 WILL APPLY. DEATH
BENEFITS OPTION 1 AND OPTION 2 ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNDER THE CASH VALUE
ACCUMULATION TEST.


GUIDELINE PREMIUM TEST AND CASH VALUE ACCUMULATION TEST

There are two main differences between the Guideline Premium test and the Cash
Value Accumulation test. First, the Guideline Premium test limits the amount of
premium that may be paid into a Certificate, while no such limits apply under
the Cash Value Accumulation test. Second, the factors that determine the
Guideline Minimum Death Benefit relative to the Certificate Value are different.
Required increases in the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit due to growth in
Certificate Value will generally be greater under the Cash Value Accumulation
test than under the Guideline Premium test. APPLICANTS FOR A POLICY SHOULD
CONSULT A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISER IN CHOOSING A DEATH BENEFIT ELECTION.

OPTION 1 -- LEVEL DEATH BENEFIT

Under Option 1, the Death Benefit is equal to the greater of the Face Amount or
the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit, as set forth in the table below. Under
Option 1, the Death Benefit will remain level unless the Guideline Minimum Death
Benefit is greater than the Face Amount, in which case the Death Benefit will
vary as the Certificate Value varies. Option 1 will offer the best opportunity
for the Certificate Value under a Certificate to increase without increasing the
Death Benefit as quickly as it might under the other options. The Death Benefit
will never go below the Face Amount.

OPTION 2 -- ADJUSTABLE DEATH BENEFIT

Under Option 2, the Death Benefit is equal to the greater of the Face Amount
plus the Certificate Value or the Guideline Minimum Death Benefit, as set forth
in the table below. The Death Benefit will, therefore, vary as the Certificate
Value changes, but will never be less than the Face Amount. Option 2 will offer
the best opportunity for the Certificate Owner who would like to have an
increasing Death Benefit as early as possible. The Death Benefit will increase
whenever there is an increase in the Certificate Value, and will decrease
whenever there is a decrease in the Certificate Value, but will never go below
the Face Amount.

OPTION 3 -- LEVEL DEATH BENEFIT WITH CASH VALUE ACCUMULATION TEST

Under Option 3, the Death Benefit will equal the Face Amount, unless the
Certificate Value, multiplied by the applicable Option 3 Death Benefit Factor,
results in a higher Death Benefit. A complete list of Option 3 Death Benefit
Factors is set forth in the Certificate. The applicable Death Benefit Factor
depends upon the sex, risk classification, and then-attained age of the Insured.
The Death Benefit Factor decreases slightly from year to year as the attained
age of the Insured increases. Option 3 will offer the best opportunity for the
Certificate Owner who is looking for an increasing death benefit in later
Certificate years and/or would like to fund the Certificate at the "seven-pay"
limit for the full seven years. When the Certificate Value multiplied by the
applicable Death Benefit Factor exceeds the Face Amount, the Death Benefit will
increase whenever there is an increase in the Certificate Value, and will
decrease whenever there is a decrease in the Certificate Value, but will never
go below the Face Amount.

                                       29
<PAGE>
DEATH PROCEEDS

As long as the Certificate remains in force (see CERTIFICATE TERMINATION AND
REINSTATEMENT), the Company will, upon due proof of the Insured's death, pay the
Death Proceeds of the Certificate to the named Beneficiary. The Company will
normally pay the Death Proceeds within seven days of receiving due proof of the
Insured's death, but the Company may delay payments under certain circumstances.
See OTHER CERTIFICATE PROVISIONS -- "Postponement of Payments." The Death
Proceeds may be received by the Beneficiary in a lump sum or under one or more
of the payment options the Company offers. See APPENDIX B -- PAYMENT OPTIONS.

The Death Proceeds payable depend on the current Face Amount and the Death
Benefit Option that is in effect on the date of death. Prior to the Final
Premium Payment Date, the Death Proceeds are: (a) the Death Benefit provided
under Option 1, Option 2, or Option 3, whichever is in effect on the date of
death; minus (b) any Outstanding Loan, any partial withdrawals, and any Monthly
Deductions due and unpaid through the Certificate month in which the Insured
dies. After the Final Premium Payment Date, the Death Proceeds equal the
Surrender Value of the Certificate. The amount of Death Proceeds payable will be
determined as of the date the Company receives due proof of the Insured's death
for Option 2 and date of death for Options 1 and 3.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS 1 AND 2

If the Guideline Premium Test is chosen by the Employer, the Certificate Owner
may choose between Death Benefit Option 1 or Option 2. The Certificate Owner may
designate the desired Death Benefit Option in the enrollment form, and may
change the option once per Certificate year by Written Request. There is no
charge for a change in option.

GUIDELINE MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT UNDER OPTION 1 AND OPTION 2

The Guideline Minimum Death Benefit under Option 1 or Option 2 is equal to a
percentage of the Certificate Value as set forth below. The Guideline Minimum
Death Benefit is determined in accordance with the Code regulations to ensure
that the Certificate qualifies as a life insurance contract and that the
insurance proceeds may be excluded from the gross income of the Beneficiary.

                     GUIDELINE MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT TABLE

</TABLE>

For the Ages not listed, the progression between the listed Ages is linear.

For any Face Amount, the amount of the Death Benefit and thus the Death Proceeds
will be greater under Option 2 than under Option 1, since the Certificate Value
is added to the specified Face Amount and included in the Death Proceeds only
under Option 2. However, the cost of insurance included in the Monthly Deduction

                                       30
<PAGE>
will be greater, and thus the rate at which Certificate Value will accumulate
will be slower, under Option 2 than under Option 1. See CHARGES AND
DEDUCTIONS -- "Monthly Deduction from Certificate Value." If you desire to have
premium payments and investment performance reflected in the amount of the Death
Benefit, you should choose Option 2. If you desire premium payments and
investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the Certificate Value,
you should select Option 1.

CHANGE IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION

Generally, if Death Benefit Option 1 or Option 2 is in effect, the Death Benefit
Option in effect may be changed once each Certificate year by sending a Written
Request for change to the Principal Office. The effective date of any such
change will be the Monthly Processing Date on or following the date of receipt
of the request. No charges will be imposed on changes in Death Benefit Options.
IF OPTION 3 IS IN EFFECT, YOU MAY NOT CHANGE TO EITHER OPTION 1 OR OPTION 2.

If the Death Benefit Option is changed from Option 2 to Option 1, the Face
Amount will be increased to equal the Death Benefit which would have been
payable under Option 2 on the effective date of the change (i.e., the Face
Amount immediately prior to the change plus the Certificate Value on the date of
the change). The amount of the Death Benefit will not be altered at the time of
the change. However, the change in option will affect the determination of the
Death Benefit from that point on, since the Certificate Value will no longer be
added to the Face Amount in determining the Death Benefit. The Death Benefit
will equal the new Face Amount (or, if higher, the Guideline Minimum Death
Benefit). The cost of insurance may be higher or lower than it otherwise would
have been since any increases or decreases in Certificate Value will,
respectively, reduce or increase the Insurance Amount at Risk under Option 1.
Assuming a positive net investment return with respect to any amounts in the
Separate Account, changing the Death Benefit Option from Option 2 to Option 1
will reduce the Insurance Amount at Risk and, therefore, the cost of insurance
charge for all subsequent Monthly Deductions, compared to what such charge would
have been if no such change were made.

If the Death Benefit Option is changed from Option 1 to Option 2, the Face
Amount will be decreased to equal the Death Benefit less the Certificate Value
on the effective date of the change. This change may not be made if it would
result in a Face Amount less than $10,000. A change from Option 1 to Option 2
will not alter the amount of the Death Benefit at the time of the change, but
will affect the determination of the Death Benefit from that point on. Because
the Certificate Value will be added to the new specified Face Amount, the Death
Benefit will vary with the Certificate Value. Thus, under Option 2, the
Insurance Amount at Risk will always equal the Face Amount unless the Guideline
Minimum Death Benefit is in effect. The cost of insurance may also be higher or
lower than it otherwise would have been without the change in Death Benefit
Option. See CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS -- "Monthly Deduction from Certificate
Value."

A change in Death Benefit Option may result in total premiums paid exceeding the
then current maximum premium limitation determined by Internal Revenue Service
Rules. In such event, the Company will pay the excess to the Certificate Owner.
See THE CERTIFICATE -- "Premium Payments."

CHANGE IN FACE AMOUNT

Subject to certain limitations, you may increase or decrease the specified Face
Amount of a Certificate at any time by submitting a Written Request to the
Company. If the Insured Term Rider is in effect, any increase will be under the
Insured Term Rider. Any increase or decrease in the specified Face Amount
requested by you will generally become effective on the Monthly Processing Date
on or next following the date of receipt of the request at the Principal Office
or, if Evidence of Insurability is required, the date of approval of the
request.

INCREASES

Along with the Written Request for an increase, you must submit satisfactory
Evidence of Insurability. The consent of the Insured may also be required
whenever the Face Amount is increased. A request for an increase

                                       31
<PAGE>
in the Face Amount may not be less than an amount determined by the Company.
This amount varies by group but in no event will this amount exceed $10,000. You
may not increase the Face Amount after the Insured reaches Age 85. An increase
must be accompanied by an additional premium if the Certificate Value is less
than the sum of three Monthly Deductions. The effective date of the increase
will generally be the first Monthly Processing Date on or following the date all
of the conditions for the increase are met.

An increase in the Face Amount will generally affect the Insurance Amount at
Risk, and may affect the portion of the Insurance Amount at Risk included in
various Underwriting Classes (if more than one Underwriting Class applies), both
of which may affect the monthly cost of insurance charges. See CHARGES AND
DEDUCTIONS -- "Monthly Deduction from Certificate Value."

After increasing the Face Amount, you will have the right (1) during a Free-Look
Period, to have the increase cancelled and the charges which would not have been
deducted but for the increase will be credited to the Certificate, and (2)
during the first 24 months following the increase, to transfer any or all
Certificate Value to the Fixed Account free of charge. See THE
CERTIFICATE --"Free-Look Period" and "Conversion Privileges." A refund of
charges which would not have been deducted but for the increase will be made at
your request.

DECREASES

The minimum amount for a decrease in the Face Amount is $10,000. By current
Company practice, the Face Amount in force after any decrease may not be less
than $50,000. If, following a decrease in the Face Amount, the Certificate would
not comply with the maximum premium limitation applicable under the IRS rules,
the decrease may be limited or Certificate Value may be returned to the
Certificate Owner (at your election) to the extent necessary to meet the
requirements. A return of Certificate Value may result in tax liability to you.
A decrease in the Face Amount will affect the total Insurance Amount at Risk and
the portion of the Insurance Amount at Risk covered by various Underwriting
Classes, both of which may affect a Certificate Owner's monthly cost of
insurance charges. See CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS -- "Monthly Deduction from
Certificate Value."

For purposes of determining the cost of insurance charge, any decrease in the
Face Amount will reduce the Face Amount in the following order: (a) the Face
Amount provided by the most recent increase; (b) the next most recent increases
successively; and (c) the initial Base Amount.

CERTIFICATE VALUE AND SURRENDER VALUE

The Certificate Value is the total amount available for investment and is equal
to the sum of the accumulation in the Fixed Account and the value of the Units
in the Sub-Accounts. The Certificate Value is used in determining the Surrender
Value (the Certificate Value less any Outstanding Loan). See THE
CERTIFICATE --"Surrender." There is no guaranteed minimum Certificate Value.
Because Certificate Value on any date depends upon a number of variables, it
cannot be predetermined.

Certificate Value and Surrender Value will reflect frequency and amount of Net
Premiums paid, interest credited to accumulations in the Fixed Account, the
investment performance of the chosen Sub-Accounts, any partial withdrawals, any
loans, any loan repayments, any loan interest paid or credited, and any charges
assessed in connection with the Certificate.

CALCULATION OF CERTIFICATE VALUE

The Certificate Value is determined on the Date of Issue and on each Valuation
Date. On the Date of Issue, the Certificate Value will be the Net Premiums
received, plus any interest earned during the underwriting period when premiums
are held in the Fixed Account (before being transferred to the Separate Account;
see THE CERTIFICATE -- "Enrollment Form for a Certificate") less any Monthly
Deductions due. On each Valuation Date after the Date of Issue the Certificate
Value will be:

                                       32
<PAGE>
(1) the sum of the values in each of the Sub-Accounts on the Valuation Date,
    determined for each Sub-Account by multiplying the value of a Unit in that
    Sub-Account on that date by the number of such Units allocated to the
    Certificate; PLUS

(2) the value in the Fixed Account (including any amounts transferred to the
    Fixed Account with respect to a loan).

Thus, the Certificate Value is determined by multiplying the number of Units in
each Sub-Account by their value on the particular Valuation Date, adding the
products, and adding accumulations in the Fixed Account, if any.

THE UNIT

You allocate the Net Premiums among the Sub-Accounts. Allocations to the
Sub-Accounts are credited to the Certificate in the form of Units. Units are
credited separately for each Sub-Account.

The number of Units of each Sub-Account credited to the Certificate is equal to
the portion of the Net Premium allocated to the Sub-Account, divided by the
dollar value of the applicable Unit as of the Valuation Date the payment is
received at the Principal Office. The number of Units will remain fixed unless
changed by a subsequent split of Unit value, transfer, partial withdrawal or
surrender. In addition, if the Company is deducting the Monthly Deduction or
other charges from a Sub-Account, each such deduction will result in
cancellation of a number of Units equal in value to the amount deducted.

The dollar value of a Unit of each Sub-Account varies from Valuation Date to
Valuation Date based on the investment experience of that Sub-Account. That
experience, in turn, will reflect the investment performance, expenses and
charges of the respective Underlying Fund. The value of a Unit was set at $1.00
on the first Valuation Date for each Sub-Account. The dollar value of a Unit on
a given Valuation Date is determined by multiplying the dollar value of the
corresponding Unit as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date by the
appropriate net investment factor.

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR

The net investment factor measures the investment performance of a Sub-Account
of the Separate Account during the Valuation Period just ended. The net
investment factor for each Sub-Account is equal to 1.0000 plus the number
arrived at by dividing (a) by (b), where

(a) is the investment income of that Sub-Account for the Valuation Period, plus
    capital gains, realized or unrealized, credited during the Valuation Period;
    minus capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged during the Valuation
    Period; adjusted for provisions made for taxes, if any; and

(b) is the value of that Sub-Account's assets at the beginning of the Valuation
    Period.

The net investment factor may be greater or less than one. Therefore, the value
of a Unit may increase or decrease. You bear the investment risk. Subject to
applicable state and federal laws, the Company reserves the right to change the
methodology used to determine the net investment factor.

Allocations to the Fixed Account are not converted into Units, but are credited
interest at a rate periodically set by the Company. See MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
THE FIXED ACCOUNT.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

During the Insured's lifetime, you may arrange for the Death Proceeds to be paid
in a single sum or under one or more of the payment options then offered by the
Company. These payment options are also available at the Final Premium Payment
Date and if the Certificate is surrendered. If no election is made, the Company
will pay the Death Proceeds in a single sum. See APPENDIX B -- PAYMENT OPTIONS.

Subject to certain requirements, one or more of the optional insurance benefits
described in APPENDIX A -- OPTIONAL BENEFITS may be added to a Certificate by
rider. The cost, if any, of optional insurance benefits added by rider will be
deducted as part of the Monthly Deduction. See CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS --
"Monthly Deduction from Certificate Value."

SURRENDER

You may at any time surrender the Certificate and receive its Surrender Value.
The Surrender Value is the Certificate Value, less any Outstanding Loan. The
Surrender Value will be calculated as of the Valuation Date on which a Written
Request for surrender and the Certificate are received at the Principal Office.

The proceeds on surrender may be paid in a lump sum or under one of the payment
options the Company offers. See APPENDIX B -- PAYMENT OPTIONS. The Company will
normally pay the Surrender Value within seven days following the Company's
receipt of the surrender request, but the Company may delay payment under the
circumstances described in OTHER CERTIFICATE PROVISIONS -- "Postponement of
Payments."

For important tax considerations that may result from surrender see FEDERAL TAX
CONSIDERATIONS.

PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL

Any time after the first Certificate year, you may withdraw a portion of the
Surrender Value of the Certificate, subject to the limits stated below, upon
Written Request filed at the Principal Office. The Written Request must indicate
the dollar amount you wish to receive and the Accounts from which such amount is
to be withdrawn. You may allocate the amount withdrawn among the Sub-Accounts
and the Fixed Account. If you do not provide allocation instructions, the
Company will make a Pro-Rata Allocation. Each partial withdrawal must be in a
minimum amount of $500. Under Option 1 or Option 3, the Face Amount is reduced
by the amount of the partial withdrawal, and a partial withdrawal will not be
allowed if it would reduce the Face Amount below $40,000.

A partial withdrawal from a Sub-Account will result in the cancellation of the
number of Units equivalent in value to the amount withdrawn. The amount
withdrawn equals the amount requested by you plus the partial withdrawal
transaction charge as described under CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS -- "Transaction
Charge on Partial Withdrawal." The Company will normally pay the amount of the
partial withdrawal within seven days following the Company's receipt of the
partial withdrawal request, but the Company may delay payment under certain
circumstances described in OTHER CERTIFICATE PROVISIONS -- "Postponement of
Payments." For important tax consequences which may result from partial
withdrawals, see FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS.

                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

Charges will be deducted to compensate the Company for providing the insurance
benefits set forth in the Certificate and any additional benefits added by
rider, providing servicing, incurring distribution expenses, and assuming
certain risks in connection with the Certificates. Certain of the charges
described below may be reduced for Certificates issued in connection with a
specific group under a non-qualified benefit plan. Charges and deductions may
vary based on criteria, for example, such as the purpose for which the
Certificates are purchased, the size of the benefit plan and the expected number
of participants, the underwriting characteristics of the group, the levels and
types of administrative services provided to the benefit plan and participants,
total assets under management, nature of relationship among individual insureds,
the expected persistency of individual policies and anticipated aggregate
premium payments. From time to time the

                                       34
<PAGE>
Company may modify both the amounts and criteria for reductions, which will not
be unfairly discriminatory against any person.


The Certificate may be issued with an Insured Term Rider. Depending on your
circumstances, it may be less costly to purchase more insurance coverage under
the Insured Term Rider than under the Base Amount of insurance coverage. The
current cost of insurance charges for the insurance coverage provided by the
Insured Term Rider are equal to or lower than for the insurance coverage
provided by the Base Amount. In addition, the Monthly Expense Charge does not
apply to insurance coverage provided by the Insured Term Rider.


Upon full surrender of a group Policy within the first three Policy years, in
certain situations the Company will, upon written request, refund a percentage
of the portion of the previously paid Premium Expense Charge that exceeded our
local, state and federal tax expenses. The following conditions apply:

    - The original owner of the Policy and Certificates thereunder is a
      corporation, a corporate grantor trust, or an individual or trust under a
      corporate sponsored collateral assignment split dollar agreement, and the
      ownership has not been changed;

    - The request to surrender the Policy and all Certificates thereunder must
      be received prior to the end of the third Policy year; and

    - The Policy and Certificates have not been exchanged to another carrier.

PREMIUM EXPENSE CHARGE


A charge may be deducted from each premium payment for state and local premium
taxes paid by the Company, to compensate the Company for federal taxes imposed
under Section 848 of the Code for deferred acquisition cost, and for
distribution expenses related to the Certificates. Upon request, the Company may
permit all or part of the Premium Expense Charge to be deducted as part of the
monthly deduction.



STATE PREMIUM TAXES. State premium taxes generally range from 0.75% to 5%, while
local premium taxes (if any) vary by jurisdiction within a state. The Company
guarantees that the charge for premium taxes will not exceed 10%. The premium
tax charge may change when either the applicable jurisdiction changes or the tax
rate within the applicable jurisdiction changes. The Company should be notified
of any change in address of the Insured as soon as possible.



DAC TAX. Section 848 of the Code requires insurance companies to capitalize
certain specified policy acquisition costs and defer their deduction in
determining the insurer's tax liability. This is known as the "DAC tax." The
Company deducts a charge for the DAC tax that may range from zero up to 2% (up
to 4% for certain corporate or trust-owned policies described below) of
premiums, depending on the group to which the Policy is issued.



Over time, the Company will realize an economic benefit from the tax deductions
it receives as the capitalized policy acquisition costs are amortized. If
Certificates are issued under a corporate or trust-owned life insurance policy
("COLI Policy"), at the request of the Policyholder the Company may "pass
through" this economic benefit to the Policyholder. Under the pass through, the
DAC tax will be higher (up to 4%) than it would be without the pass through (up
to 2%). The DAC tax is charged on each premium payment and each DAC tax "load"
is tracked separately. Over a period (currently 11 years) that reflects the
amortization provisions of Section 848 of the Code, on each Certificate
anniversary the Company will refund a portion of each DAC tax load. The amount
of the refund is a percentage of each load, based on the number of Certificate
anniversaries after the respective premium payment was made. If a Certificate is
surrendered or if the Insured dies, any remaining load will be refunded to the
Policyholder.


                                       35
<PAGE>

DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES. The charge for distribution expenses may range from zero
to 10%. The distribution charge may vary, depending upon such factors, for
example, as the type of the benefit plan, average number of participants,
average Face Amount of the Certificates, anticipated average annual premiums,
and the actual distribution expenses incurred by the Company.


MONTHLY DEDUCTION FROM CERTIFICATE VALUE

On the Date of Issue and each Monthly Processing Date thereafter prior to the
Final Premium Payment Date, certain charges ("Monthly Deductions") will be
deducted from the Certificate Value. The Monthly Deduction may include charges
for the following:


    - The cost of insurance. The cost of insurance rates will vary with the age
      and underwriting class of the Insured.


    - Certificate administrative expenses. The charge may be up to $10 monthly,
      depending on the group to which the Policy is issued.


    - For the first five Certificate years, a Monthly Expense Charge to
      reimburse the Company for underwriting and acquisition costs. The charge
      is equal to a specified amount that varies with the Insured's Age and
      underwriting class for each $1,000 of the Certificate's Base Amount on the
      Date of Issue. For more information, see APPENDIX D -- MONTHLY EXPENSE
      CHARGES.


    - Separate Account administrative expenses. The Separate Account
      administrative charge may continue for up to 10 Certificate years and may
      be up to 0.25% of Certificate Value in each Sub-Account, depending on the
      group to which the Policy was issued.

    - Mortality and expense risks. The mortality and expense risk charge may be
      up to 0.90% of Certificate Value in each Sub-Account.

You may specify from which Sub-Account the cost of insurance charge, the charge
for Certificate administrative expenses, the monthly expense charge, the
mortality and expense risk charge, and the charge, if any, for the cost of
additional benefits provided by rider will be deducted. If no allocation is
specified, the Company will make a Pro-Rata Allocation.

The Separate Account administrative charge and the mortality and expense risk
charge are assessed against each Sub-Account that generates a charge based on
the prior month's sub-account value. In the event that a charge is greater than
the value of the Sub-Account to which it relates on a Monthly Processing Date,
the Company will make a Pro-Rata Allocation of the unpaid balance.

Monthly Deductions are made on the Date of Issue and on each Monthly Processing
Date until the Final Premium Payment Date. After the Final Premium Payment Date,
a deduction for mortality and expense risk charges will continue to be assessed
monthly. No other Monthly Deductions will be made on or after the Final Premium
Payment Date.

COST OF INSURANCE

This charge is designed to compensate the Company for the anticipated cost of
providing Death Proceeds to Beneficiaries of those Insureds who die prior to the
Final Premium Payment Date. The cost of insurance is determined on a monthly
basis, and is determined separately for the initial Base Amount and Insured Term
Rider, if any, and for each subsequent increase in the Base Amount and Insured
Term Rider. Because the cost of insurance depends upon a number of variables, it
can vary from month to month and from group to group. Generally, the current
cost of insurance for the Base Amount will be higher than the cost of insurance
under an Insured Term Rider.

                                       36
<PAGE>

COST OF INSURANCE RATES. The Certificates are sold to eligible individuals who
are members of a non-qualified benefit plan having a minimum, depending on the
group, of five or more members. A portion of the initial Face Amount may be
issued on a fully underwritten, guaranteed or simplified underwriting basis, and
may vary based on characteristics within a group. The determination of the
Underwriting Class for the guaranteed or simplified issue portion will, in part,
be based on: the type of group; the purpose for which the Certificates are
purchased; the number of persons eligible to participate in the plan; expected
percentage of eligible persons participating in the plan; aggregate premiums
paid; and the amount of guaranteed or simplified underwriting insurance to be
issued.


Cost of insurance rates are based on an appropriate rate table, Age and
Underwriting Class of the Insured at the Date of Issue, the effective date of an
increase or date of rider, as applicable. The cost of insurance rates are
determined at the beginning of each Certificate year for the initial Base Amount
of insurance coverage and the initial amount of the Insured Term Rider, if any.
The cost of insurance rates for an increase in the initial Base Amount or the
initial amount of the Insured Term Rider, if any, are determined annually on the
anniversary of the effective date of each increase or rider. The cost of
insurance rates generally increase as the Insured's Age increases. Generally,
the cost of insurance rates for insurance coverage under the Base Amount are
higher than for insurance coverage under the Insured Term Rider.

The actual monthly cost of insurance rates will be based on the Company's
expectations as to future expenses and mortality experience. They will not,
however, be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates set forth in the
Certificate. These guaranteed rates are based on the 1980 Commissioners Standard
Ordinary Mortality Tables (Age Last Birthday) (Male, Female or Unisex Table B,
Smoker, Non-smoker or Uni-smoker) and the Insured's Age. The tables used for
this purpose may set forth different mortality estimates for smokers and
non-smokers. Any change in the cost of insurance rates will apply to all persons
in the group of the same insuring Age and Underwriting Class whose Certificates
have been in force for the same length of time.

The Underwriting Class of an Insured will affect the cost of insurance rates.
The Company currently places Insureds into the following Underwriting Classes:
preferred, standard, substandard, guaranteed issue and simplified issue, each
with separate ratings for the Base Amount and for the Insured Term Rider. In an
otherwise identical Certificate, an Insured in the preferred Underwriting Class
will generally have a lower cost of insurance than an Insured in a standard
Underwriting Class who, in turn, will have a lower cost of insurance than an
Insured in a substandard Underwriting Class with a higher mortality risk. The
Underwriting Classes may be divided into two categories or aggregated: smokers
and non-smokers. Non-smoking Insureds will incur lower cost of insurance rates
than Insureds who are classified as smokers but who are otherwise in the same
Underwriting Class. Any Insured with an Age at issuance under 18 will be
classified initially as regular, unless substandard. The Insured then will be
classified as a smoker at Age 18 unless the Insured provides satisfactory
evidence that the Insured is a non-smoker. The Company will provide notice to
you of the opportunity for the Insured to be classified as a non-smoker when the
Insured reaches Age 18.

The cost of insurance rates are determined separately for the initial Face
Amount and for the amount of any increase in the Face Amount. For each increase
in the Face Amount you request, at a time when the Insured is in a less
favorable Underwriting Class than previously, a correspondingly higher cost of
insurance rate will apply only to that portion of the Insurance Amount at Risk
for the increase. For the initial Face Amount and any prior increases, the
Company will use the Underwriting Class previously applicable. On the other
hand, if the Insured's Underwriting Class improves on an increase, the lower
cost of insurance rate generally will apply to the entire Insurance Amount at
Risk.


GROUP EXPERIENCE RATING. If Certificates are issued under a corporate or
trust-owned life insurance policy ("COLI Policy") covering at least 500
Insureds, at the request of the Policyholder the COLI Policy may be issued on
the basis of group experience rating. The Company will establish a target for
the mortality reserve that is equal to a percentage of the current year's cost
of insurance charges. If the group has favorable mortality experience (actual
claims are less than expected), the mortality reserve may eventually exceed the
target reserve. At the end of any experience period, if the mortality reserve
exceeds the target reserve, at the


                                       37
<PAGE>

Policyholder's request, an experience credit will be paid to the Policyholder
from the mortality reserve. At the end of each experience period, the cost of
insurance charges for the group may be adjusted prospectively (for the next
experience period), but will never exceed the guaranteed cost of insurance
charges.



If the number of Insureds under the COLI Policy falls below 100, the experience
rating of the group will cease. Any positive reserve will be distributed to the
Policyholder over an 18-month period in order to cover any incurred but not yet
reported claims.


MONTHLY CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE

Prior to the Final Premium Payment Date, a monthly Certificate administrative
charge of up to $10 per month, depending on the group to which the Policy was
issued, will be deducted from the Certificate Value. This charge will be used to
compensate the Company for expenses incurred in the administration of the
Certificate, and will compensate the Company for first-year underwriting and
other start-up expenses incurred in connection with the Certificate. These
expenses include the cost of processing enrollment forms, conducting medical
examinations, determining insurability and the Insured's Underwriting Class, and
establishing Certificate records. The Company does not expect to derive a profit
from these charges.

MONTHLY EXPENSE CHARGE


The Monthly Expense Charge may be charged on the monthly processing date for the
first five years after issuance of the Certificate. This charge will be used to
reimburse the Company for underwriting and acquisition costs. The charge is
equal to a specified amount that varies based on age, and the Insured's
Underwriting class (Smoker/Non-Smoker) for each $1,000 of the Certificate's Base
Amount. The maximum rate per $1000 of Base Amount, considering all possible
combinations of Ages and Underwriting Classes, is $0.2175 for an Insured who Age
65 and a smoker. For more information, see APPENDIX D -- MONTHLY EXPENSE
CHARGES.


MONTHLY SEPARATE ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE

The Company can make an administrative charge on an annual basis of up to 0.25%
of the Certificate Value in each Sub-Account. The duration of this charge can be
for up to 10 years. This charge is designed to reimburse the Company for the
costs of administering the Separate Account and Sub-Accounts. The charge is not
expected to be a source of profit. The administrative expenses assumed by the
Company in connection with the Separate Account and Sub-Accounts include, but
are not limited to, clerical, accounting, actuarial and legal services, rent,
postage, telephone, office equipment and supplies, expenses of preparing and
printing registration statements, expenses of preparing and typesetting
prospectuses and the cost of printing prospectuses not allocable to sales
expense, filing and other fees.

MONTHLY MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

The Company can make a mortality and expense risk charge on an annual basis of
up to 0.90% of the Certificate Value in each Sub-Account. This charge is for the
mortality risk and expense risk which the Company assumes in relation to the
variable portion of the Certificates. The total charges may be different between
groups and increased or decreased within a group, subject to compliance with
applicable state and federal requirements, but may not exceed 0.90% on an annual
basis.

The mortality risk assumed by the Company is that Insureds may live for a
shorter time than anticipated, and that the Company will, therefore, pay an
aggregate amount of Death Proceeds greater than anticipated. The expense risk
assumed is that the expenses incurred in issuing and administering the
Certificates will exceed the amounts realized from the administrative charges
provided in the Certificates. If the charge for mortality and expense risks is
not sufficient to cover actual mortality experience and expenses, the Company
will absorb the losses. If costs are less than the amounts provided, the
difference will be a profit to the Company. To the extent this charge results in
a current profit to the Company, such profit will be available for use by the
Company for, among other things, the payment of distribution, sales and other
expenses. Since mortality and expense risks involve future contingencies that
are not subject to precise determination in advance, it is not feasible to
identify specifically the portion of the charge that is applicable to each.

                                       38
<PAGE>
CHARGES REFLECTED IN THE ASSETS OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

Because the Sub-Accounts purchase shares of the Underlying Funds, the value of
the Units of the Sub-Accounts will reflect the investment advisory fee and other
expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds. The prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information of the Underlying Funds contain additional information
concerning such fees and expenses.

No charges are currently made against the Sub-Accounts for federal or state
income taxes. Should the Company determine that taxes will be imposed, the
Company may make deductions from the Sub-Account to pay such taxes. See FEDERAL
TAX CONSIDERATIONS. The imposition of such taxes would result in a reduction of
the Certificate Value in the Sub-Accounts.

TRANSACTION CHARGE ON PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL

After the first Certificate year, partial withdrawals of Surrender Value may be
made. The minimum withdrawal is $500. Under Option 1 or Option 3, the Face
Amount is reduced by the amount of the partial withdrawal, and a partial
withdrawal will not be allowed if it would reduce the Face Amount below $40,000.
A transaction charge which is the smaller of $25 or 2% of the amount withdrawn,
will be assessed on each partial withdrawal to reimburse the Company for the
cost of processing the withdrawal. The Company does not expect to make a profit
on this charge. The transaction fee applies to all partial withdrawals.

TRANSFER CHARGES

The first twelve transfers in a Certificate year will be free of charge.
Thereafter, a transfer charge of $10 will be imposed for each transfer request
to reimburse the Company for the administrative costs incurred in processing the
transfer request. The Company reserves the right to increase the charge, but it
will never exceed $25. The Company also reserves the right to change the number
of free transfers allowed in a Certificate year. See THE
CERTIFICATE --"Transfer Privilege."

You may have automatic transfers of at least $100 made on a periodic basis,
every 1, 2 or 3 months (a) from the Sub-Accounts which invest in the Money
Market Fund and Government Bond Fund of AIT, respectively, to one or more of the
other Sub-Accounts, or (b) to reallocate Certificate Value among the
Sub-Accounts. The first automatic transfer counts as one transfer towards the
twelve free transfers allowed in each Certificate year. Each subsequent
automatic transfer is without charge and does not reduce the remaining number of
transfers which may be made without charge.

If you utilize the Conversion Privilege, Loan Privilege, or reallocate
Certificate Value within 20 days of the Date of Issue of the Certificate, any
resulting transfer of Certificate Value from the Sub-Accounts to the Fixed
Account will be free of charge, and in addition to the twelve free transfers in
a Certificate year. See THE CERTIFICATE -- "Conversion Privileges" and
CERTIFICATE LOANS.

OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES

The Company reserves the right to impose a charge (not to exceed $25) for the
administrative costs incurred for changing the Net Premium allocation
instructions, for changing face amount, for changing the allocation of any
Monthly Deductions among the various Sub-Accounts, or for a projection of
values.

                               CERTIFICATE LOANS

Loans may be obtained by request to the Company on the sole security of the
Certificate. The total amount which may be borrowed is the Loan Value. The Loan
Value is 90% of an amount equal to Certificate Value. There is no minimum limit
on the amount of the loan. The loan amount will normally be paid within seven

                                       39
<PAGE>
days after the Company receives the loan request at its Principal Office, but
the Company may delay payments under certain circumstances. See OTHER
CERTIFICATE PROVISIONS -- "Postponement of Payments."

A Certificate loan may be allocated among the Fixed Account and one or more
Sub-Accounts. If you do not make an allocation, the Company will make a Pro-Rata
Allocation based on the amounts in the Accounts on the date the Company receives
the loan request. Certificate Value in each Sub-Account equal to the Certificate
loan allocated to such Sub-Account will be transferred to the Fixed Account, and
the number of Units equal to the Certificate Value so transferred will be
cancelled. This will reduce the Certificate Value in these Sub-Accounts. These
transactions are not treated as transfers for purposes of the transfer charge.

LOAN INTEREST CHARGED

As long as the Certificate is in force, Certificate Value in the Fixed Account
equal to the loan amount will be credited with interest at an effective annual
yield of at least 4.00% per year. The current credited rate is 4.0%. NO
ADDITIONAL INTEREST WILL BE CREDITED TO SUCH CERTIFICATE VALUE.

Interest accrues daily, and is payable in arrears at the annual rate of 4.9%,
guaranteed not to be greater than 5.5%. Interest is due and payable at the end
of each Certificate year or on a pro-rata basis for such shorter period as the
loan may exist. Interest not paid when due will be added to the loan amount and
bear interest at the same rate. After the due and unpaid interest is added to
the loan amount, if the new loan amount exceeds the Certificate Value in the
Fixed Account, the Company will transfer Certificate Value equal to that excess
loan amount from the Certificate Value in each Sub-Account to the Fixed Account
as security for the excess loan amount. The Company will allocate the amount
transferred among the Sub-Accounts in the same proportion that the Certificate
Value in each Sub-Account bears to the total Certificate Value in all Sub-
Accounts.

PREFERRED LOAN OPTION

A preferred loan option is automatically included under the Certificate if
approved in the state. You may change a preferred loan to a non-preferred loan
at any time upon written request. If this option has been included, after the
tenth Certificate anniversary Certificate Value in the Fixed Account equal to
the loan amount will be credited with interest at an effective annual yield of
at least 4.0%. Certificate loans will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.0%,
guaranteed not to be greater than 4.5%. The Company's current practice is to
credit a rate of interest equal to the rate being charged for the preferred
loan.

There is some uncertainty as to the tax treatment of a preferred loan, which may
be treated as a taxable withdrawal from the Certificate. Consult a qualified tax
adviser (and see FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS). THE PREFERRED LOAN OPTION IS NOT
AVAILABLE IN ALL STATES.

REPAYMENT OF OUTSTANDING LOAN

Loans may be repaid at any time prior to the lapse of the Certificate. Upon
repayment of any Outstanding Loan, the portion of the Certificate Value that is
in the Fixed Account securing the Outstanding Loan repaid will be allocated to
the various Accounts and increase the Certificate Value in such Accounts in
accordance with your instructions. If you do not make a repayment allocation,
the Company will allocate Certificate Value in accordance with your most recent
premium allocation instructions; provided, however, that loan repayments
allocated to the Separate Account cannot exceed Certificate Value previously
transferred from the Separate Account to secure the Outstanding Loan.

If an Outstanding Loan exceeds the Certificate Value, the Certificate will
terminate. A notice of such pending termination will be mailed to the last known
address of you and any assignee. If you do not make sufficient payment within 62
days after this notice is mailed, the Certificate will terminate with no value.
See CERTIFICATE TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT.

                                       40
<PAGE>
EFFECT OF CERTIFICATE LOANS

Although Certificate loans may be repaid at any time prior to the lapse of the
Certificate, Certificate loans will permanently affect the Certificate Value and
Surrender Value, and may permanently affect the Death Proceeds. The effect could
be favorable or unfavorable, depending upon whether the investment performance
of the Sub-Accounts is less than or greater than the interest credited to the
Certificate Value in the Fixed Account attributable to the loan.

Moreover, outstanding Certificate loans and the accrued interest will be
deducted from the proceeds payable upon surrender or the death of the Insured.

                   CERTIFICATE TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT

TERMINATION

The failure to make premium payments will not cause the Certificate to lapse
unless:

    - the Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the next Monthly Deduction
      plus loan interest accrued; or

    - if an Outstanding Loan exceeds the Certificate Value.

If one of these situations occurs, the Certificate will be in default. You will
then have a grace period of 62 days, measured from the date of default, to make
sufficient payments to prevent termination. On the date of default, the Company
will send a notice to you and to any assignee of record. The notice will state
the amount of premium due and the date on which it is due.

Failure to make a sufficient payment within the grace period will result in
termination of the Certificate. If the Insured dies during the grace period, the
Death Proceeds will still be payable, but any Monthly Deductions due and unpaid
through the Certificate month in which the Insured dies and any other overdue
charges will be deducted from the Death Proceeds.

REINSTATEMENT

If the Certificate has not been surrendered and the Insured is alive, the
terminated Certificate may be reinstated anytime within three years after the
date of default and before the Final Premium Payment Date. The reinstatement
will be effective on the Monthly Processing Date following the date you submit
the following to the Company:

    - a written enrollment form for reinstatement,

    - Evidence of Insurability; and

    - a premium that, after the deduction of the premium expense charge, is
      large enough to cover the Monthly Deductions for the three-month period
      beginning on the date of reinstatement.

CERTIFICATE VALUE ON REINSTATEMENT

The Certificate Value on the date of reinstatement is:

    - the Net Premium paid to reinstate the Certificate increased by interest
      from the date the payment was received at the Principal Office; plus

    - an amount equal to the Certificate Value less any Outstanding Loan on the
      date of default; minus

    - the Monthly Deduction due on the date of reinstatement. You may reinstate
      any Outstanding Loan outstanding on the date of default or foreclosure.

                                       41
<PAGE>
                          OTHER CERTIFICATE PROVISIONS

The following Certificate provisions may vary in certain states in order to
comply with requirements of the insurance laws, regulations, and insurance
regulatory agencies in those states.

CERTIFICATE OWNER

The Certificate Owner is named in the enrollment form or as subsequently
changed. The Certificate Owner is generally entitled to exercise all rights
under the Certificate while the Insured is alive, subject to the consent of any
irrevocable Beneficiary (the consent of a revocable Beneficiary is not
required). The consent of the Insured may be required when the Face Amount of
insurance is increased.

BENEFICIARY

The Beneficiary is the person or persons to whom the insurance proceeds are
payable upon the Insured's death. Unless otherwise stated in the Certificate,
the Beneficiary has no rights in the Certificate before the death of the
Insured. While the Insured is alive, you may change any Beneficiary unless you
have declared a Beneficiary to be irrevocable. If no Beneficiary is alive when
the Insured dies, the Certificate Owner (or the Certificate Owner's estate) will
be the Beneficiary. If more than one Beneficiary is alive when the Insured dies,
they will be paid in equal shares, unless you have chosen otherwise. Where there
is more than one Beneficiary, the interest of a Beneficiary who dies before the
Insured will pass to surviving Beneficiaries proportionately.

ASSIGNMENT

The Certificate Owner may assign a Certificate as collateral or make an absolute
assignment of the Certificate. All rights under the Certificate will be
transferred to the extent of the assignee's interest. The Consent of the
assignee may be required in order to make changes in premium allocations, to
make transfers, or to exercise other rights under the Certificate. The Company
is not bound by an assignment or release thereof, unless it is in writing and is
recorded at the Principal Office. When recorded, the assignment will take effect
as of the date the Written Request was signed. Any rights created by the
assignment will be subject to any payments made or actions taken by the Company
before the assignment is recorded. The Company is not responsible for
determining the validity of any assignment or release.

INCONTESTABILITY

The Company will not contest the validity of a Certificate after it has been in
force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Date of Issue. The
Company will not contest the validity of any rider or any increase in the Face
Amount after such rider or increase has been in force during the Insured's
lifetime for two years from its effective date.

SUICIDE

The Death Proceeds will not be paid if the Insured commits suicide, while sane
or insane, within two years from the Date of Issue. Instead, the Company will
pay the Beneficiary an amount equal to all premiums paid for the Certificate,
without interest, less any Outstanding Loan and less any partial withdrawals. If
the Insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the
effective date of any increase in the Death Benefit, the Company's liability
with respect to such increase will be limited to a refund of the cost thereof.
The Beneficiary will receive the administrative charges and insurance charges
paid for such increase.

                                       42
<PAGE>
AGE

If the Insured's Age as stated in the enrollment form for the Certificate is not
correct, benefits under the Certificate will be adjusted to reflect the correct
Age, if death occurs prior to the Final Premium Payment Date. The adjusted
benefit will be that which the most recent cost of insurance charge would have
purchased for the correct Age. In no event will the Death Benefit be reduced to
less than the Minimum Death Benefit.

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

Payments of any amount due from the Separate Account upon surrender, partial
withdrawals, or death of the Insured, as well as payments of a Certificate loan
and transfers may be postponed whenever: (1) the New York Stock Exchange is
closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the New
York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the SEC, or (2) an emergency
exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is
not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the
value of the Separate Account's net assets. Payments under the Certificate of
any amounts derived from the premiums paid by check may be delayed until such
time as the check has cleared your bank.

The Company also reserves the right to defer payment of any amount due from the
Fixed Account upon surrender, partial withdrawal, or death of the Insured, as
well as payments of Certificate loans and transfers from the Fixed Account, for
a period not to exceed six months.

</TABLE>

                                  DISTRIBUTION

Allmerica Investments, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of First Allmerica, acts as
the principal underwriter of the Certificates pursuant to a Sales and
Administrative Services Agreement with the Company and the Separate Account.
Allmerica Investments, Inc. is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer and is
a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD"). The
Certificates are sold by agents of the Company who are registered
representatives of Allmerica Investments, Inc. or of independent broker-dealers.

The Company pays commissions to broker-dealers and registered representatives
which sell the Certificates based on a commission schedule. After issuance of a
Certificate or an increase in Face Amount, commissions may be up to 25% of the
first-year premiums up to a basic premium amount established by the Company.
Thereafter, commissions may be up to 10% of any additional premiums. Alternative
compensation schedules, which may include ongoing annual compensation of up to
0.75% of Certificate Value, are available based on premium payments and the
level of enrollment and ongoing administrative services provided to participants
and benefit plans by the broker-dealer or registered representative. Certain
registered representatives, including registered representatives enrolled in the
Company's training program for new agents, may receive additional first-year and
renewal commissions and training reimbursements. General Agents of the Company
and certain registered representatives may also be eligible to receive expense
reimbursements based on the amount of earned commissions. General Agents may
also receive overriding commissions, which will not exceed 2.5% of first-year,
or 4% of renewal premiums.

To the extent permitted by NASD rules, promotional incentives or payments may
also be provided to broker-dealers based on sales volumes, the assumption of
wholesaling functions or other sales related criteria. Other payments may be
made for other services that do not directly involve the sales of the
Certificates. These services may include the recruitment and training of
personnel, production of promotional literature, and similar services. The
Company intends to recoup the commissions and other sales expenses through a
combination of a portion of the premium expense charge and the investment
earnings on amounts allocated to accumulate on a fixed basis in excess of the
interest credited on fixed accumulations by the Company.

                                    REPORTS

The Company will maintain the records relating to the Separate Account. You will
be promptly sent statements of significant transactions such as premium payments
(other than payments made pursuant to the MAP procedure), changes in the
specified Face Amount, changes in the Death Benefit Option, transfers among
Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, partial withdrawals, increases in loan
amount by you, loan repayments, lapse, termination for any reason, and
reinstatement. An annual statement will also be sent to you. The annual
statement will summarize all of the above transactions and deductions of charges
during the Certificate year. It will also set forth the status of the Death
Proceeds, Certificate Value, Surrender Value, amounts in the Sub-Accounts and
Fixed Account, and any Certificate loan(s). The Owner should review the
information in all statements carefully. All errors or corrections must be
reported to the Company immediately to assure proper crediting to the
Certificate. The Company will assume that all transactions are

                                       45
<PAGE>
accurately reported on confirmation statements and quarterly/annual statements
unless the Owner notifies the Principal Office in writing within 30 days after
receipt of the statement. In addition, you will be sent periodic reports
containing financial statements and other information for the Separate Account
and the Underlying Investment Companies as required by the 1940 Act.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings pending to which the Separate Account is a party,
or to which the assets of the Separate Account are subject. The Company and
Allmerica Investments, Inc. are not involved in any litigation that is of
material importance in relation to their total assets or that relates to the
Separate Account.

                              FURTHER INFORMATION

A Registration Statement under the 1933 Act relating to this offering has been
filed with the SEC. Certain portions of the Registration Statement and
amendments have been omitted from this Prospectus pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC. Statements contained in this Prospectus concerning the
Certificate and other legal documents are summaries. The complete documents and
omitted information may be obtained from the SEC's principal office in
Washington, DC, upon payment of the SEC's prescribed fees.


                           FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS


The effect of federal income taxes on the value of a Certificate, on loans,
withdrawals, or surrenders, on Death Benefit payments, and on the economic
benefit to you or the Beneficiary depends upon a variety of factors. The
following discussion is based upon the Company's understanding of the present
federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. From time to time
legislation is proposed which, if passed, could significantly, adversely, and
possibly retroactively, affect the taxation of the Certificates. No
representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of current
federal income tax laws or of current interpretations by the IRS. Moreover, no
attempt has been made to consider any applicable state or other tax laws.

It should be recognized that the following summary of federal income tax aspects
of amounts received under the Certificates is not exhaustive, does not purport
to cover all situations, and is not intended as tax advice. Specifically, the
discussion below does not address certain tax provisions that may be applicable
if the Certificate Owner is a corporation or the trustee of an employee benefit
plan. A qualified tax adviser should always be consulted with regard to the
enrollment form of law to individual circumstances.

THE COMPANY AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Code
of 1986, and files a consolidated tax return with its parent and affiliates. The
Company does not expect to incur any income tax upon the earnings or realized
capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based on these expectations,
no charge is made for federal income taxes which may be attributable to the
Separate Account.

The Company will review periodically the question of a charge to the Separate
Account for federal income taxes. Such a charge may be made in future years for
any federal income taxes incurred by the Company. This might become necessary if
the tax treatment of the Company is ultimately determined to be other than what
the Company believes it to be, if there are changes made in the federal income
tax treatment of variable life insurance at the Company level, or if there is a
change in the Company's tax status. Any such charge would be designed to cover
the federal income taxes attributable to the investment results of the Separate
Account.

Under current laws the Company may also incur state and local taxes (in addition
to premium taxes) in several states. At present these taxes are not significant.
If there is a material change in applicable state or local tax laws, charges may
be made for such taxes paid, or reserves for such taxes, attributable to the
Separate Account.

                                       46
<PAGE>
TAXATION OF THE CERTIFICATES

The Company believes that the Certificates described in this Prospectus will be
considered life insurance contracts under Section 7702 of the Code, which
generally provides for the taxation of life insurance policies and places
limitations on the relationship of the Certificate Value to the Insurance Amount
at Risk. As a result, the Death Proceeds payable are excludable from the gross
income of the Beneficiary. Moreover, any increase in Certificate Value is not
taxable until received by the Certificate Owner or the Certificate Owner's
designee. See "Modified Endowment Contracts."

The Code also requires that the investment of each Sub-Account be adequately
diversified in accordance with Treasury regulations in order to be treated as a
life insurance Certificate for tax purposes. Although the Company does not have
control over the investments of the Underlying Funds, the Company believes that
the Underlying Funds currently meet the Treasury's diversification requirements,
and the Company will monitor continued compliance with these requirements. In
connection with the issuance of previous regulations relating to diversification
requirements, the Treasury Department announced that such regulations do not
provide guidance concerning the extent to which Certificate Owners may direct
their investments to particular divisions of a separate account. Regulations in
this regard may be issued in the future. It is possible that if and when
regulations are issued, the Certificates may need to be modified to comply with
such regulations. For these reasons, the Certificates or the Company's
administrative rules may be modified as necessary to prevent a Certificate Owner
from being considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.

Depending upon the circumstances, a surrender, partial withdrawal, change in the
Death Benefit Option, change in the Face Amount, lapse with Certificate loan
outstanding, or assignment of the Certificate may have tax consequences. In
particular, under specified conditions, a distribution under the Certificate
during the first 15 years from Date of Issue that reduces future benefits under
the Certificate will be taxed to the Certificate Owner as ordinary income to the
extent of any investment earnings in the Certificate. Federal, state and local
income, estate, inheritance, and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt
of Certificate proceeds depend on the circumstances of each Insured, Certificate
Owner, or Beneficiary.

CERTIFICATE LOANS

The Company believes that non-preferred loans received under a Certificate will
be treated as indebtedness of the Certificate Owner for federal income tax
purposes. Under current law, these loans will not constitute income for the
Certificate Owner while the Certificate is in force. See "Modified Endowment
Contracts." However, there is a risk that a preferred loan may be characterized
by the IRS as a withdrawal and taxed accordingly. At the present time, the IRS
has not issued any guidance on whether a loan with the attributes of a preferred
loan should be treated differently than a non-preferred loan. This lack of
specific guidance makes the tax treatment of preferred loans uncertain. In the
event pertinent IRS guidelines are issued in the future, you may convert your
preferred loan to a non-preferred loan. However, it is possible that,
notwithstanding the conversion, some or all of the loan could be treated as a
taxable withdrawal from the Certificate.

Section 264 of the Code restricts the deduction of interest on policy or
certificate loans. Consumer interest paid on policy or certificate loans under
an individually owned policy or certificate is not tax deductible.

Generally, no tax deduction for interest is allowed on policy or certificate
loans, if the insured is an officer or employee of, or is financially interested
in, any business carried on by the taxpayer. There is an exception to this rule
which permits a deduction for interest on loans up to $50,000 related to any
business-owned policies or certificates covering officers or 20-percent owners,
up to a maximum equal to the greater of (1) five individuals, or (2) the lesser
of (a) 5% of the total number of officers and employees of the corporation, or
(b) 20 individuals.

                                       47
<PAGE>
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS

The Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 ("1988 Act") adversely
affects the tax treatment of distributions under so-called "modified endowment
contracts." Under the 1988 Act, any life insurance certificate, including a
Certificate offered by this Prospectus, that fails to satisfy a "seven-pay" test
is considered a modified endowment contract. A certificate fails to satisfy the
seven-pay test if the cumulative premiums paid under the certificate at any time
during the first seven certificate years, or within seven years of a material
change in the certificate, exceed the sum of the net level premiums that would
have been paid, had the certificate provided for paid-up future benefits after
the payment of seven level annual premiums. In addition, if benefits are reduced
at anytime during the life of the Certificate, there may be adverse tax
consequences. Please consult your tax adviser.

If the Certificate is considered a modified endowment contract, all
distributions under the Certificate will be taxed on an "income-first" basis.
Most distributions received by a Certificate Owner directly or indirectly
(including loans, withdrawals, partial surrenders, or the assignment or pledge
of any portion of the value of the Certificate) will be includible in gross
income to the extent that the cash Surrender Value of the Certificate exceeds
the Certificate Owner's investment in the contract. Any additional amounts will
be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the Certificate Owner's basis
in the Certificate. With certain exceptions, an additional 10% tax will be
imposed on the portion of any distribution that is includible in income. All
modified endowment contracts issued by the same insurance company to the same
Certificate Owner during any calendar period will be treated as a single
modified endowment contract in determining taxable distributions.

Currently, each Certificate is reviewed when premiums are received to determine
if it satisfies the seven-pay test. If the Certificate does not satisfy the
seven-pay test, the Company will notify the Certificate Owner of the option of
requesting a refund of the excess premium. The refund process must be completed
within 60 days after the Certificate anniversary, or the Certificate will be
permanently classified as a modified endowment contract.

                    MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FIXED ACCOUNT

As discussed earlier, you may allocate Net Premiums and transfer Certificate
Value to the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is an investment option that is
funded by the general account of the Company. Because of exemption and
exclusionary provisions in the securities law, any amount in the general account
of the Company is not generally subject to regulation under the provisions of
the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act. Accordingly, the disclosures in this Section have
not been reviewed by the SEC. Disclosures regarding the fixed portion of the
Certificate, the Fixed Account, and the general account may, however, be subject
to certain generally applicable provisions of the Federal Securities Laws
concerning the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The general account of the Company is made up of all of the general assets of
the Company other than those allocated to any separate account. Allocations to
the Fixed Account become part of the assets of the Company and are used to
support insurance and annuity obligations. Subject to applicable law, the
Company has sole discretion over the investment of assets of the Fixed Account.

A portion or all of Net Premiums may be allocated or transferred to accumulate
at a fixed rate of interest in the Fixed Account. Such net amounts are
guaranteed by the Company as to principal and a minimum rate of interest. The
allocation or transfer of funds to the Fixed Account does not entitle you to
share in the investment experience of the Fixed Account or the general account.

                                       48
<PAGE>
FIXED ACCOUNT VALUE AND CERTIFICATE LOANS

The Company bears the full investment risk for amounts allocated to the Fixed
Account and guarantees that interest credited to each Certificate Owner's
Certificate Value in the Fixed Account will not be less than an annual rate of
4% ("Guaranteed Minimum Rate"). (Under the Certificate, the Guaranteed Minimum
Rate may be higher than 4%.)

The Company may, AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, credit a higher rate of interest
("excess interest"), although it is not obligated to credit interest in excess
of the Guaranteed Minimum Rate, and might not do so. However, the excess
interest rate, if any, in effect on the date a premium is received at the
Principal Office is guaranteed on that premium until the next Certificate
anniversary, unless the Certificate Value associated with the premium becomes
security for a Certificate loan. AFTER SUCH INITIAL ONE-YEAR GUARANTEE OF
INTEREST ON NET PREMIUM, ANY INTEREST CREDITED ON THE CERTIFICATE VALUE IN THE
FIXED ACCOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM RATE PER YEAR WILL BE
DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE COMPANY. THE CERTIFICATE OWNER ASSUMES
THE RISK THAT INTEREST CREDITED MAY NOT EXCEED THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM RATE.

Even if excess interest is credited to accumulated value in the Fixed Account,
no excess interest will be credited to that portion of the Certificate Value
which is equal to an Outstanding Loan. The Company guarantees that, on each
Monthly Processing Date, the Certificate Value in the Fixed Account will be the
amount of the Net Premiums allocated or Certificate Value transferred to the
Fixed Account, plus interest at the Guaranteed Minimum Rate, plus any excess
interest which the Company credits, less the sum of all Certificate charges
allocable to the Fixed Account and any amounts deducted from the Fixed Account
in connection with loans, partial withdrawals, surrenders or transfers.

Certificate loans may also be made from the Certificate Value in the Fixed
Account.

Transfers, surrenders, partial withdrawals, Death Proceeds and Certificate loans
payable from the Fixed Account may be delayed up to six months. However, if
payment is delayed for 30 days or more, the Company will pay interest at least
equal to an effective annual yield of 3% for the period of deferment. Amounts
from the Fixed Account used to pay premiums on policies with the Company will
not be delayed.

THE CERTIFICATE

This Prospectus describes certificates issued under a flexible premium variable
life insurance Certificate, and is generally intended to serve as a disclosure
document only for the aspects of the Certificate relating to the Separate
Account. For complete details regarding the Fixed Account, see the Certificate
itself.

TRANSFERS, SURRENDERS, AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

Partial withdrawals are made on a last-in/first-out basis from Certificate Value
allocated to the Fixed Account. This means that the last payments allocated to
Fixed Account will be withdrawn first.

The first twelve transfers in a Certificate year are free of charge. Thereafter,
a $10 transfer charge will be deducted for each transfer in that Certificate
year. The transfer privilege is subject to the consent of the Company and to the
Company's then current rules.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Upon Written Request, the Surrender Value or all or part of the Death Proceeds
may be placed under one or more of the payment options then offered by the
Company. If you do not make an election, the Company will pay the benefits in a
single sum. A certificate will be provided to the payee describing the payment
option selected.

If a payment option is selected, the Beneficiary may pay to the Company any
amount that would otherwise by deducted from the Death Benefit.

The amounts payable under a payment option are paid from the Fixed Account.
These amounts are not based on the investment experience of the Separate
Account.

SELECTION OF PAYMENT OPTIONS

The amount applied under any one option for any one payee must be at least
$5,000. The periodic payment for any one payee must be at least $50. Subject to
your and/or the Beneficiary's provision, any option selection may be changed
before the Death Proceeds become payable. If you make no selection, the
Beneficiary may select an option when the Death Proceeds become payable.

                ILLUSTRATIONS OF SUM INSURED, CERTIFICATE VALUES
                            AND ACCUMULATED PREMIUMS

The tables illustrate the way in which a Certificate's Sum Insured and
Certificate Value could vary over an extended period of time.

ASSUMPTIONS

The tables illustrate a Certificate issued to a male, Age 30, under a standard
Premium Class and qualifying for the non-smoker discount, a Certificate issued
to a male, Age 40, under a standard Premium Class and qualifying for the
non-smoker discount and a male, Age 45, under a standard Premium Class and
qualifying for the non-smoker discount. The tables illustrate the guaranteed
cost of insurance rates and the current cost of insurance rates as presently in
effect.

The tables illustrate the Certificate Values that would result based upon the
assumptions that no Certificate loans have been made, that you have not
requested an increase or decrease in the initial Face Amount, that no partial
withdrawals have been made, and that no transfers above 12 have been made in any
Certificate year (so that no transaction or transfer charges have been
incurred).

The tables assume that all premiums are allocated to and remain in the Separate
Account for the entire period shown, and are based on hypothetical gross
investment rates of return for the Underlying Fund (i.e., investment income and
capital gains and losses, realized or unrealized) equivalent to constant gross
(after tax) annual rates of 0%, 6% and 12%. The second column of the tables
shows the amount which would accumulate if an amount equal to the premiums paid
were invested each year to earn interest (after taxes) at 5% compounded
annually.

The Certificate Values and Death Proceeds would be different from those shown if
the gross annual investment rates of return averaged 0%, 6% and 12% over a
period of years, but fluctuated above or below such averages for individual
Certificate years. The values would also be different depending on the
allocation of a Certificate's total Certificate Value among the Sub-Accounts of
the Separate Account, if the actual rates of return averaged 0%, 6% or 12%, but
the rates of each Underlying Fund varied above and below such averages.

DEDUCTIONS FOR CHARGES

The amounts shown for the Death Proceeds and Certificate Values take into
account the deduction from premium for the premium expense charge, the Monthly
Deductions from Certificate Value, and the monthly charge for mortality and
expense risks. In the Current Cost of Insurance Charges tables, the charge for
mortality and expense risks is equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.45%
of the average monthly value of the assets in the Separate Account attributable
to the Certificates. In the Guaranteed Cost of Insurance Charges table, the
Separate Account charge for mortality and expense risks is illustrated at 0.90%.
There is also a separate account administrative charge of 0.25% for 10 years in
the Guaranteed tables.

EXPENSES OF THE UNDERLYING FUNDS


The amounts shown in the tables also take into account the Underlying Fund
advisory fees and operating expenses, which are assumed to be at an annual rate
of 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Underlying Funds. The actual
fees and expenses of each Underlying Fund vary and, in 1999, ranged from an
annual rate of 0.29% to an annual rate of 1.92% of average daily net assets. The
fees and expenses associated with the Certificate may be more or less than 0.85%
in the aggregate, depending upon how you make allocations of Certificate Value
among the Sub-Accounts.


Until further notice, Allmerica Financial Investment Management Services, Inc.
("AFIMS") has declared a voluntary expense limitation of 1.50% of average net
assets for Select International Equity Fund, 1.35% for

                                      C-1
<PAGE>
Select Aggressive Growth Fund and Select Capital Appreciation Fund, 1.25% for
Select Value Opportunity Fund, 1.20% for Select Growth Fund and Core Equity
Fund, 1.10% for Select Growth and Income Fund, 1.00% for Select Investment Grade
Income Fund, and Government Bond Fund, and 0.60% for Money Market Fund. The
total operating expenses of these Funds of AIT were less than their respective
expense limitations throughout 1999.


Until further notice, AFIMS has declared a voluntary expense limitation of 1.20%
of average daily net assets for the Select Strategic Growth Fund. In 1999 the
Select Strategic Growth Fund received a reimbursement of $813 under its expense
limitation. However, this amount was not enough to make a difference in the
percentage shown as the Fund's total operating expenses and expense limitation
(both 1.20%). Until further notice, AFIMS has agreed to voluntarily waive its
management fee to the extent that expenses of the Select Emerging Markets Fund
exceed 2.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets, except that such waiver
shall not exceed the net amount of management fees earned by AFIMS from the Fund
after subtracting fees paid by AFIMS to a sub-advisor. Until further notice, the
Select Value Opportunity Fund's management fee rate has been voluntarily limited
to an annual rate of 0.90% of average daily net assets, and total expenses are
limited to 1.25% of average daily net assets. The declaration of a voluntary
management fee or expense limitation in any year does not bind AFIMS to declare
future expense limitations with respect to these Funds. These limitations may be
terminated at any time.



The Advisor has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse its fees to the
Funds so that the Funds' total operating expenses will not exceed 0.45% for the
Deutsche VIT Small Cap Index and will not exceed 0.30% for the Deutsche VIT
Equity 500 Index. Without the reimbursement to the Funds for the year ended
12/31/99, the Management Fee, Other and Total Expenses would have been 0.35%,
0.83%, and 1.18% for the Deutsche VIT Small Cap Index and 0.20%, 0.23%, and
0.43% for the Deutsche VIT Equity 500 Index.



These fees reflect an agreement by the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan, to reimburse the portfolio, to the extent
certain expenses exceed 1.15% of the portfolio's average daily net assets during
fiscal year 2000. had there been no fee waiver and expense reimbursements, Other
Expenses and Total Fund Expenses would have been 1.97% and 2.57%, respectively.



The investment adviser of the Warburg Pincus Global Post-Venture Capital
Portfolio has voluntarily agreed to waive or reimburse a portion of the
management fees and/or other expenses resulting in a reduction of total
expenses. Absent any waiver or reimbursement, the management fees, Other
Expenses and Total Portfolio Expenses would have been 1.25%, 0.33% and 1.58% for
the Warburg Pincus Global Post-Venture Capital Portfolio, respectively, for the
year ended December 31, 1999.



Goldman Sachs Asset Management has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit certain
other expenses (excluding management fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, such
expenses). Without any such limitation or reduction, the Other Expenses would
have been 0.42% for the Goldman Sachs VIT CORE Large Cap Growth Fund, 0.96% for
the Goldman Sachs VIT CORE Small Cap Equity Fund, and 1.06% for the Goldman
Sachs VIT Capital Growth Fund.


MSDW Investment Management has voluntarily agreed to waive its management fees
and to reimburse the MSDW Technology Portfolio if processing of such fees would
cause the total annual operating expense of the portfolio to exceed 1.15 of
average daily net assets. This fee waiver is voluntary and may be terminated by
MSDW at any time without notice.

The Underlying Fund information above was provided by the Underlying Funds and
was not independently verified by the Company.

NET ANNUAL RATES OF INVESTMENT


Taking into account the assumed 0.90% charge for Underlying Investment Company
advisory fees and operating expenses, the gross annual rates of investment
return of 0%, 6% and 12% correspond to net annual rates of -0.85%, 5.15% and
11.15%, respectively.


The hypothetical returns shown in the table do not reflect any charges for
income taxes against the Separate Account since no charges are currently made.
However, if in the future such charges are made, in order to produce illustrated
death benefits and cash values, the gross annual investment rate of return would
have to exceed 0%, 6% or 12% by a sufficient amount to cover the tax charges.

UPON REQUEST, THE COMPANY WILL PROVIDE A COMPARABLE ILLUSTRATION BASED UPON THE
PROPOSED INSURED'S AGE, SEX, AND UNDERWRITING CLASSIFICATION, AND THE REQUESTED
FACE AMOUNT, SUM INSURED OPTION, AND RIDERS.

Example 1


Assume that a Nonsmoker, Age 40, purchases a Certificate with a Face Amount of
$100,000, of which $50,000 is attributable to the Base Amount and $50,000 is
attributable to the Insured Term Rider. The Monthly Expense Charge, if
applicable, is assessed only on the Base Amount. From the table above, the
Monthly Expense Charge would be $3.25 per month or (0.0650 per $1000 Base Face
*$50,000 Base Amount).


Example 2

Assume that a Nonsmoker, Age 40, purchases a Certificate with a Face Amount of
$100,000, all of which is attributable to the Base Amount (there is no Insured
Term Rider). From the table above, the monthly expense charge would be $6.50 per
month or (0.0650 per $1000 Base Face *$100,000 Base Face).

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The Certificates will first be offered to the public in 2000. However, the
Company may advertise "Total Return" and "Average Annual Total Return"
performance information based on the periods that the Sub-Accounts have been in
existence (Tables I(A) and I(B)), and based on the periods that the Underlying
Funds have been in existence (Tables II (A) and II (B)). The results for any
period prior to the Certificates being offered will be calculated as if the
Certificates had been offered during that period of time, with all charges
assumed to be those applicable to the Sub-Accounts, the Underlying Funds, and
(in Tables I(A) and II(A)) under a "representative" Certificate that is
surrendered at the end of the applicable period. For more information on charges
under the Certificates, see CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS.

In each Table in Appendix E, "One-Year Total Return" refers to the total of the
income generated by a Sub-Account, based on certain charges and assumptions as
described in the respective tables, for the one-year period ended December 31,
1999. "Average Annual Total Return" is based on the same charges and
assumptions, but reflects the hypothetical annually compounded return that would
have produced the same cumulative return if the Sub-Account's performance had
been constant over the entire period. Because average annual total returns tend
to smooth out variations in annual performance return, they are not the same as
actual year-by-year results.

Performance information may be compared, in reports and promotional literature,
to: (1) the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500"), Dow Jones Industrial
Average ("DJIA"), Shearson Lehman Aggregate Bond Index or other unmanaged
indices so that investors may compare results with those of a group of unmanaged
securities widely regarded by investors as representative of the securities
markets in general; (2) other groups of variable life separate accounts or other
investment products tracked by Lipper Inc., a widely used independent research
firm which ranks mutual funds and other investment products by overall
performance, investment objectives, and assets, or tracked by other services,
companies, publications, or persons, such as Morningstar, Inc., who rank such
investment products on overall performance or other criteria; or (3) the
Consumer Price Index (a measure for inflation) to assess the real rate of return
from an investment. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends
but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs
and expenses.

At times, the Company may also advertise the ratings and other information
assigned to it by independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company
("A.M. Best"), Moody's Investors Services ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's
Insurance Rating Services ("S&P") and Duff & Phelps. A.M. Best's and Moody's
ratings reflect their current opinion of the Company's relative financial
strength and operating performance in comparison to the norms of the life/health
insurance industry. S&P's and Duff & Phelps' ratings measure the ability of an
insurance company to meet its obligations under insurance policies it issues and
do not measure the ability of such companies to meet other non-policy
obligations. The ratings also do not relate to the performance of the Underlying
Portfolios.

The Company may provide information on various topics of interest to Certificate
Owners and prospective Certificate Owners in sales literature, periodic
publications or other materials. These topics may include the relationship
between sectors of the economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on
various securities markets, investment strategies and techniques (such as value
investing, market timing, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, constant
ratio transfer and account rebalancing), the advantages and disadvantages of
investing in tax-deferred and taxable investments, customer profiles and
hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios, financial management and tax and
retirement planning, and investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and
other financial instruments.

The following performance information is based on the periods that the
Sub-Accounts have been in existence. The data is net of expenses of the
Underlying Funds, all Sub-Account charges, and all Certificate charges for a
representative Certificate. It is assumed that the Insured is male, Age 36,
standard (non-smoker) Premium Class, that the Face Amount of the Certificate is
$250,000, that an annual premium payment of $3,000 (approximately one Guideline
Annual Premium) was made at the beginning of each Certificate year, that ALL
premiums were allocated to EACH Sub-Account individually, and that there was a
full surrender of the Certificate at the end of the applicable period.

             ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY

    (AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL CORPORATION)

         NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("AFLIAC" or the
"Company") is organized as a stock life insurance company, and is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company ("FAFLIC") which
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allmerica Financial Corporation ("AFC"). As
noted below, the consolidated accounts of AFLIAC include the accounts of certain
wholly-owned non-insurance subsidiaries (principally brokerage and investment
advisory subsidiaries).

Prior to July 1, 1999, AFLIAC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMA Financial
Corporation ("SMAFCO"), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of FAFLIC. Effective
July 1, 1999 and in connection with AFC's restructuring activities, SMAFCO was
renamed Allmerica Asset Management, Inc. ("AAM") and contributed its ownership
of AFLIAC to FAFLIC. AAM also contributed Allmerica Investments, Inc., Allmerica
Investment Management Company, Inc., Allmerica Financial Investment Management
Services, Inc., and Allmerica Financial Services Insurance Agency, Inc., to
AFLIAC in exchange for one share of AFLIAC common stock. The equity of these
four companies on July 1, 1999 was $11.8 million. For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, the subsidiaries of AFLIAC had total revenue of $45.1 million and
total benefits, losses and expenses of $31.0 million. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In addition, effective November 1, 1999, the Company's consolidated financial
statements include five wholly-owned insurance agencies. These agencies are
Allmerica Investments Insurance Agency Inc. of Alabama, Allmerica Investments
Insurance Agency of Florida Inc., Allmerica Investment Insurance Agency Inc. of
Georgia, Allmerica Investment Insurance Agency Inc. of Kentucky, and Allmerica
Investments Insurance Agency Inc. of Mississippi.

The statutory stockholder's equity of the Company is being maintained at a
minimum level of 5% of general account assets by FAFLIC in accordance with a
policy established by vote of FAFLIC's Board of Directors.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

2.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation -- an interpretation of APB Opinion
No. 25" ("FIN44"). FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25
regarding the definition of employee, the criteria for determining a
noncompensatory plan, the accounting for changes to the terms of a previously
fixed stock option or award, the accounting for an exchange of stock
compensation awards in a business combination, and other stock compensation
related issues. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but to the extent that it
covers certain events occurring during the period after December 15, 1998, and
certain other events occurring during the period after January 12, 2000, but
before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying the
Interpretation are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. The
Company does not expect the application of FIN 44 to have a material impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("Statement No. 133"),

                                      F-6

   NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments.
Statement No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position, and
establishes special accounting for the following three types of hedges: fair
value hedges, cash flow hedges, and hedges of foreign currency exposures. In
June 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138,
"Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("Statement No. 138"), which further
addresses the accounting for hedges and the application of certain exceptions to
Statement No. 133. These statements are effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the
adoption of Statement No. 133 and Statement No. 138.

3.  SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

During the second quarter of 2000, the Company adopted a formal company-wide
restructuring plan. This plan is the result of a corporate initiative that began
in the fall of 1999, intended to reduce expenses and enhance revenues. As a
result of the Company's restructuring plan, it recognized a pre-tax charge of
$4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 as reflected in restructuring
costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the second quarter 1999, AFLIAC's parent contributed $4.0 million in
cash. There have been no capital contributions in 2000.

4.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Federal income tax expense for the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, has
been computed using estimated effective tax rates. These rates are revised, if
necessary, at the end of each successive interim period to reflect the current
estimates of the annual effective tax rates.

5.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

REGULATORY AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

Unfavorable economic conditions may contribute to an increase in the number of
insurance companies that are under regulatory supervision. This may result in an
increase in mandatory assessments by state guaranty funds, or voluntary payments
by solvent insurance companies to cover losses to policyholders of insolvent or
rehabilitated companies. Mandatory assessments, which are subject to statutory
limits, can be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes
in some states. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the potential
effect on it of any such future assessments or voluntary payments.

LITIGATION

In 1997, a lawsuit on behalf of a putative class was instituted against the
Company alleging fraud, unfair or deceptive acts, breach of contract,
misrepresentation, and related claims in the sale of life insurance policies. In
November 1998, the Company and the plaintiffs entered into a settlement
agreement and in May 1999, the Federal District Court in Worcester,
Massachusetts approved the settlement agreement and certified the class for this
purpose. AFLIAC recognized a $21.0 million pre-tax expense during the third
quarter of 1998 related to this litigation. Although the Company believes that
this expense reflects appropriate recognition of its obligation under the
settlement, this estimate assumes the availability of insurance coverage for
certain claims,

and the estimate may be revised based on the amount of reimbursement actually
tendered by AFC's insurance carriers, and based on changes in the Company's
estimate of the ultimate cost of the benefits to be provided to members of the
class.

The Company has been named a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in
the normal course of business. In the Company's opinion, based on the advice of
legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. However,
liabilities related to these proceedings could be established in the near term
if estimates of the ultimate resolution of these proceedings are revised.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity Company

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholder's equity
and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the "Company") at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("AFLIAC" or the
"Company") is organized as a stock life insurance company, and is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company ("FAFLIC") which
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allmerica Financial Corporation ("AFC"). As
noted below, the consolidated accounts of AFLIAC include the accounts of certain
wholly-owned non-insurance subsidiaries (principally brokerage and investment
advisory subsidiaries).

Prior to July 1, 1999, AFLIAC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMA Financial
Corporation ("SMAFCO"), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of FAFLIC. Effective
July 1, 1999 and in connection with AFC's restructuring activities, SMAFCO was
renamed Allmerica Asset Management , Inc. ("AAM") and contributed it's ownership
of AFLIAC to FAFLIC. AAM also contributed Allmerica Investments, Inc., Allmerica
Investment Management Company, Inc., Allmerica Financial Investment Management
Services, Inc., and Allmerica Financial Services Insurance Agency, Inc., to
AFLIAC in exchange for one share of AFLIAC common stock. The equity of these
four companies on July 1, 1999 was $11.8 million. For the six months ended
December 31, 1999, the subsidiaries of AFLIAC had total revenue of $35.5 million
and total benefits, losses and expenses of $24.4 million. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In addition, effective November 1, 1999, the Company's consolidated financial
statements include five wholly-owned insurance agencies. These agencies are
Allmerica Investments Insurance Agency Inc. of Alabama, Allmerica Investments
Insurance Agency of Florida Inc., Allmerica Investment Insurance Agency Inc. of
Georgia, Allmerica Investment Insurance Agency Inc. of Kentucky, and Allmerica
Investments Insurance Agency Inc. of Mississippi.

The consolidated financial statements of AFLIAC include the accounts of Somerset
Square, Inc., a wholly-owned non-insurance company, which was transferred from
SMAFCO effective November 30, 1997 and dissolved as a subsidiary effective
November 30, 1998. Its results of operations are included for eleven months of
1998 and for the month of December, 1997.

The statutory stockholder's equity of the Company is being maintained at a
minimum level of 5% of general account assets by FAFLIC in accordance with a
policy established by vote of FAFLIC's Board of Directors.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

B.  VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 115 ("Statement No. 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities," the Company is required to classify its investments into one
of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. The
Company determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time
of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.

                                      F-6
<PAGE>
             ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY

    (AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL CORPORATION)

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Debt securities and marketable equity securities are classified as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value,
with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate
component of shareholder's equity. The amortized cost of debt securities is
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.
Such amortization is included in investment income.

Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of
unamortized discounts and reserves. Reserves on mortgage loans are based on
losses expected by the Company to be realized on transfers of mortgage loans to
real estate (upon foreclosure), on the disposition or settlement of mortgage
loans and on mortgage loans which the Company believes may not be collectible in
full. In establishing reserves, the Company considers, among other things, the
estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.

Fixed maturities and mortgage loans that are delinquent are placed on
non-accrual status, and thereafter interest income is recognized only when cash
payments are received.

Policy loans are carried principally at unpaid principal balances.

During 1997, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of all real estate assets. As
of December 31, 1999, there was one property remaining in the Company's real
estate portfolio, which is being actively marketed. This asset is carried at the
estimated fair value less costs of disposal. Depreciation is not recorded on
this asset while it is held for disposal.

Realized investment gains and losses, other than those related to separate
accounts for which the Company does not bear the investment risk, are reported
as a component of revenues based upon specific identification of the investment
assets sold. When an other than temporary impairment of the value of a specific
investment or a group of investments is determined, a realized investment loss
is recorded. Changes in the valuation allowance for mortgage loans are included
in realized investment gains or losses.

C.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving
various types of financial instruments, including debt, investments such as
fixed maturities, mortgage loans and equity securities and investment and loan
commitments. These instruments involve credit risk and also may be subject to
risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation. The Company evaluates and
monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains
collateral or other security to minimize losses.

D.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks and
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less.

E.  DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

Acquisition costs consist of commissions, underwriting costs and other costs,
which vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of revenues.
Acquisition costs related to universal life products, variable annuities and
contractholder deposit funds are deferred and amortized in proportion to total
estimated gross profits from investment yields, mortality, surrender charges and
expense margins over the expected life of the contracts. This amortization is
reviewed annually and adjusted retrospectively when the Company revises its
estimate of current or future gross profits to be realized from this group of
products, including realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.
Acquisition costs related to fixed annuities and other life insurance products
are deferred and amortized, generally in proportion to the ratio of annual
revenue to the

                                      F-7
<PAGE>
             ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY

    (AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL CORPORATION)

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

estimated total revenues over the contract periods based upon the same
assumptions used in estimating the liability for future policy benefits.

Deferred acquisition costs for each product are reviewed to determine if they
are recoverable from future income, including investment income. If such costs
are determined to be unrecoverable, they are expensed at the time of
determination. Although realization of deferred policy acquisition costs is not
assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs
will be realized. The amount of deferred policy acquisition costs considered
realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of gross
profits or total revenues discussed above are reduced. The amount of
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs could be revised in the near
term if any of the estimates discussed above are revised.

F.  SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

Separate account assets and liabilities represent segregated funds administered
and invested by the Company for the benefit of variable annuity and variable
life insurance contractholders. Assets consist principally of bonds, common
stocks, mutual funds, and short-term obligations at market value. The investment
income, gains and losses of these accounts generally accrue to the
contractholders and, therefore, are not included in the Company's net income.
Appreciation and depreciation of the Company's interest in the separate
accounts, including undistributed net investment income, is reflected in
shareholder's equity or net investment income.

G.  POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS

Future policy benefits are liabilities for life, disability income and annuity
products. Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the
estimated future obligations of policies in force. The liabilities associated
with traditional life insurance products are computed using the net level
premium method for individual life and annuity policies, and are based upon
estimates as to future investment yield, mortality and withdrawals that include
provisions for adverse deviation. Future policy benefits for individual life
insurance and annuity policies are computed using interest rates ranging from
3.0% to 6.0% for life insurance and 3 1/2% to 9 1/2% for annuities. Mortality,
morbidity and withdrawal assumptions for all policies are based on the Company's
own experience and industry standards. Liabilities for universal life, variable
universal life and variable annuities include deposits received from customers
and investment earnings on their fund balances, less administrative charges.
Universal life fund balances are also assessed mortality and surrender charges.
Liabilities for variable annuities include a reserve for benefit claims in
excess of a guaranteed minimum fund value.

Individual disability income benefit liabilities for active lives are estimated
using the net level premium method, and assumptions as to future morbidity and
interest which provide a margin for adverse deviation. Benefit liabilities for
disabled lives are estimated using the present value of benefits method and
experience assumptions as to claim terminations, expenses and interest.

Liabilities for outstanding claims and losses are estimates of payments to be
made for reported claims and estimates of claims incurred but not reported for
individual life and disability income policies. These estimates are continually
reviewed and adjusted as necessary; such adjustments are reflected in current
operations.

Contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities include
investment-related products and consist of deposits received from customers and
investment earnings on their fund balances.

                                      F-8
<PAGE>
             ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY

    (AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL CORPORATION)

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

All policy liabilities and accruals are based on the various estimates discussed
above. Although the adequacy of these amounts cannot be assured, the Company
believes that it is more likely than not that policy liabilities and accruals
will be sufficient to meet future obligations of policies in force. The amount
of liabilities and accruals, however, could be revised in the near term if the
estimates discussed above are revised.

H.  PREMIUM AND FEE REVENUE AND RELATED EXPENSES

Premiums for individual life insurance and individual and group annuity
products, excluding universal life and investment-related products, are
considered revenue when due. Individual disability income insurance premiums are
recognized as revenue over the related contract periods. The unexpired portion
of these premiums is recorded as unearned premiums. Benefits, losses and related
expenses are matched with premiums, resulting in their recognition over the
lives of the contracts. This matching is accomplished through the provision for
future benefits, estimated and unpaid losses and amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs. Revenues for investment-related products consist of net
investment income and contract charges assessed against the fund values. Related
benefit expenses include annuity benefit claims in excess of a guaranteed
minimum fund value, and net investment income credited to the fund values after
deduction for investment and risk charges. Revenues for universal life and group
variable universal life products consist of net investment income, with
mortality, administration and surrender charges assessed against the fund
values. Related benefit expenses include universal life benefit claims in excess
of fund values and net investment income credited to universal life fund values.
Certain policy charges that represent compensation for services to be provided
in future periods are deferred and amortized over the period benefited using the
same assumptions used to amortize capitalized acquisition costs.

I.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

AFC and its domestic subsidiaries (including certain non-insurance operations)
file a consolidated United States federal income tax return. Entities included
within the consolidated group are segregated into either a life insurance or
non-life insurance company subgroup. The consolidation of these subgroups is
subject to certain statutory restrictions on the percentage of eligible non-life
tax losses that can be applied to offset life insurance company taxable income.

The Board of Directors has delegated to AFC management, the development and
maintenance of appropriate federal income tax allocation policies and
procedures, which are subject to written agreement between the companies. The
Federal income tax for all subsidiaries in the consolidated return of AFC is
calculated on a separate return basis. Any current tax liability is paid to AFC.
Tax benefits resulting from taxable operating losses or credits of AFC's
subsidiaries are not reimbursed to the subsidiary until such losses or credits
can be utilized by the subsidiary on a separate return basis.

Deferred income taxes are generally recognized when assets and liabilities have
different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, and for
other temporary taxable and deductible differences as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
("Statement No. 109"). These differences result primarily from policy reserves,
policy acquisition expenses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on
investments.

J.  OTHER INCOME AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

Other income and other operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999
include investment management and brokerage income and sub-advisory expenses
arising from the activities of the non-insurance subsidiaries that were
transferred to AFLIAC during 1999, as more fully described in Note 1A.

K.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("Statement No. 133"), which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. Statement No. 133
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position, and
establishes special accounting for the following three types of hedges; fair
value hedges, cash flow hedges, and hedges of foreign currency exposures of net
investments in foreign operations. This statement is effective for fiscal
ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY (an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Allmerica Financial Corporation) years beginning after June 15,
2000. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption of Statement No.
133.

In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA")
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SoP 98-1"). SoP 98-1 requires that
certain costs incurred in developing internal-use computer software be
capitalized and provides guidance for determining whether computer software is
to be considered for internal use. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. In the second quarter of 1998, the Company
adopted SoP 98-1 effective January 1, 1998, resulting in an increase in pre-tax
income of $9.8 million through December 31, 1998. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did
not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position
for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

In December 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other
Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assessments" ("SoP 97-3"). SoP 97-3 provides
guidance when a liability should be recognized for guaranty fund and other
assessments and how to measure the liability. This statement allows for the
discounting of the liability if the amount and timing of the cash payments are
fixed and determinable. In addition, it provides criteria for when an asset may
be recognized for a portion or all of the assessment liability or paid
assessment that can be recovered through premium tax offsets or policy
surcharges. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the results
of operations or financial position of the Company.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information" ("Statement No. 131"). This statement
establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that
selected information about those operating segments be reported in interim
financial statements. This statement supersedes Statement No. 14, "Financial
Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise". Statement No. 131 requires
that all public enterprises report financial and descriptive information about
their reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as
components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. This statement
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. AFLIAC consists
of one segment, Allmerica Financial Services, which underwrites and distributes
variable annuities and variable universal life insurance via retail channels.

In June 1997, the FASB also issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" ("Statement No. 130"). Statement No. 130 establishes standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. All items that are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are
to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same
prominence as other financial statements. This statement stipulates that
comprehensive income reflect the change in equity of an enterprise during a
period from transactions and

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. This statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company
adopted Statement No. 130 for the first quarter of 1998, which resulted
primarily in reporting unrealized gains and losses on investments in debt and
equity securities in comprehensive income.

L.  RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

2.  SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

During 1999, AFLIAC's parent contributed $11.8 million of additional paid-in
capital to the Company in the form of four subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 1A
above. These subsidiaries consisted of assets of $22.0 million, of which $14.6
million was cash and cash equivalents, and liabilities of $10.2 million. During
1999, 1998 and 1997, SMAFCO contributed $4.0 million, $21.0 million, and $40.6
million respectively, of additional paid-in capital to the Company. The nature
of the 1997 contribution was $19.2 million in cash and $21.4 million in other
assets including Somerset Square, Inc.

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with a highly
rated reinsurer to reinsure the mortality risk on the universal life and
variable universal life blocks of business. The agreement did not have a
material effect on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company.

On April 14, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement in principle to cede
substantially all of the Company's individual disability income line of business
under a 100% coinsurance agreement with a highly rated reinsurer. The
coinsurance agreement became effective October 1, 1997. The transaction has
resulted in the recognition of a $53.9 million pre-tax loss in the first quarter
of 1997.

In connection with AFLIAC's voluntary withdrawal of its license in New York,
AFLIAC agreed with the New York Department of Insurance to maintain, through a
custodial account in New York, a security deposit, the market value of which
will at all times equal 102% of all outstanding liabilities of AFLIAC for New
York policyholders, claimants and creditors. At December 31, 1999, the amortized
cost and market value of these assets on deposit in New York were
$196.4 million and $193.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 1998, the
amortized cost and market value of assets on deposit were $268.5 million and
$284.1 million, respectively. In addition, fixed maturities, excluding those
securities on deposit in New York, with an amortized cost of $4.1 million and
$4.2 million were on deposit with various state and governmental authorities at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

There were no contractual fixed maturity investment commitments at December 31,
1999.

The amortized cost and fair value by maturity periods for fixed maturities are
shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because
borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call
or prepayment penalties, or the Company may have the right to put or sell the
obligations back to the issuers. Mortgage backed securities are included in the
category representing their ultimate maturity.

B.  MORTGAGE LOANS AND REAL ESTATE

AFLIAC's mortgage loans are diversified by property type and location. The real
estate investment was obtained by an affiliate through foreclosure. Mortgage
loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more
than 75% of the property's value at the time the original loan is made.

The carrying values of mortgage loans and the real estate investment net of
applicable reserves were $234.6 million and $244.5 million at December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Reserves for mortgage loans were $2.4 million and
$3.3 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

$0.5 million; 2004 -- $23.7 million; and $141.2 million thereafter. Actual
maturities could differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have
the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties and loans
may be refinanced. During 1999, the Company did not refinance any mortgage loans
based on terms which differed from those granted to new borrowers.

Provisions on mortgages during 1999 and 1998 reflect the release of redundant
specific reserves. Write-offs of $5.4 million to the investment valuation
allowance related to real estate in 1997 primarily reflect write downs to the
estimated fair value less costs to sell pursuant to the aforementioned 1997 plan
of disposal.

The carrying value of impaired loans was $11.4 million and $15.3 million, with
related reserves of $0.7 million and $1.5 million as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively. All impaired loans were reserved for as of December 31, 1999
and 1998.

The average carrying value of impaired loans was $14.3 million, $17.0 million
and $19.8 million, with related interest income while such loans were impaired
of $1.5 million, $2.0 million and $2.2 million as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

At December 31, 1999, the Company had fixed maturities with a carrying value of
$0.8 million on non-accrual status. There were no mortgage loans on non-accrual
status at December 31, 1999. There were no mortgage loans or fixed maturities on
non-accrual status at December 31, 1998. The effect of non-accruals, compared
with amounts that would have been recognized in accordance with the original
terms of the investments, was a reduction in net income of $1.2 million in 1999,
and had no impact in 1998 and 1997.

The payment terms of mortgage loans may from time to time be restructured or
modified. The investment in restructured mortgage loans, based on amortized
cost, amounted to $12.2 million, $12.6 million and $21.1 million at December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Interest income on restructured mortgage
loans that would have been recorded in accordance with the original terms of
such loans amounted to $0.9 million, $1.4 million and $1.9 million in 1999,
1998, and 1997, respectively. Actual interest income on these loans included in
net investment income aggregated $1.1 million, $1.8 million and $2.1 million in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

There were no fixed maturities or mortgage loans which were non-income producing
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

5.  FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires disclosure of fair value information about certain financial
instruments (insurance contracts, real estate, goodwill and taxes are excluded)
for which it is practicable to estimate such values, whether or not these
instruments are included in the balance sheet. The fair values presented for
certain financial instruments are estimates which, in many cases, may differ
significantly from the amounts which could be realized upon immediate
liquidation. In cases where market prices are not available, estimates of fair
value are based on discounted cash flow analyses which utilize current interest
rates for similar financial instruments which have comparable terms and credit
quality.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For these short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

FIXED MATURITIES

Fair values are based on quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market
price is not available, fair values are estimated using independent pricing
sources or internally developed pricing models using discounted cash flow
analyses.

EQUITY SECURITIES

Fair values are based on quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market
price is not available, fair values are estimated using independent pricing
sources or internally developed pricing models.

    (AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL CORPORATION)

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

MORTGAGE LOANS

Fair values are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows using
the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
credit ratings. The fair value of below investment grade mortgage loans are
limited to the lesser of the present value of the cash flows or book value.

POLICY LOANS

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value since
policy loans have no defined maturity dates and are inseparable from the
insurance contracts.

FIXED ANNUITY AND OTHER CONTRACTS (WITHOUT MORTALITY FEATURES)

Fair values for the Company's liabilities under individual fixed annuity
contracts are estimated based on current surrender values, supplemental
contracts without life contingencies reflect current fund balances, and other
individual contract funds represent the present value of future policy benefits.

The estimated fair values of the financial instruments were as follows:

The provision for federal income taxes does not materially differ from the
amount of federal income tax determined by applying the appropriate U.S.
statutory income tax rate to income before federal income taxes.

The deferred income tax (asset) liability represents the tax effects of
temporary differences:

</TABLE>

Gross deferred income tax liabilities totaled $360.4 million and $291.7 million
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Gross deferred income tax assets
totaled $265.6 million and $212.9 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

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

The Company's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"), and provisions are routinely made in the financial
statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. The IRS has examined
the FAFLIC/AFLIAC consolidated group's federal income tax returns through 1994.
The Company has appealed certain adjustments proposed by the IRS with respect
federal income tax returns for 1992, 1993, and 1994 for the FAFLIC/AFLIAC
consolidated group. Also, certain adjustments proposed by the IRS with respect
to FAFLIC/AFLIAC's federal income tax returns for 1982 and 1983 remain
unresolved. If upheld, these adjustments would result in additional payments;
however, the Company will vigorously defend its position with respect to these
adjustments. In the Company's opinion, adequate tax liabilities have

    (AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL CORPORATION)

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

been established for all years. However, the amount of these tax liabilities
could be revised in the near term if estimates of the Company's ultimate
liability are revised.

7.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has no employees of its own, but has agreements under which FAFLIC
provides management, space and other services, including accounting, electronic
data processing, human resources, legal and other staff functions. Charges for
these services are based on full cost including all direct and indirect overhead
costs, and amounted to $173.9 million, $145.4 million and $124.1 million in
1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The net amounts payable to FAFLIC and
affiliates for accrued expenses and various other liabilities and receivables
were $48.6 million and $16.4 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

8.  DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

Delaware has enacted laws governing the payment of dividends to stockholders by
insurers. These laws affect the dividend paying ability of the Company.

Pursuant to Delaware's statute, the maximum amount of dividends and other
distributions that an insurer may pay in any twelve month period, without the
prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance, is limited to the
greater of (i) 10% of its policyholders' surplus as of the preceding December 31
or (ii) the individual company's statutory net gain from operations for the
preceding calendar year (if such insurer is a life company) or its net income
(not including realized capital gains) for the preceding calendar year (if such
insurer is not a life company). Any dividends to be paid by an insurer, whether
or not in excess of the aforementioned threshold, from a source other than
statutory earned surplus would also require the prior approval of the Delaware
Commissioner of Insurance.

No dividends were declared by the Company during 1999, 1998 or 1997. During
2000, AFLIAC could pay dividends of $34.3 million to FAFLIC without prior
approval.

9.  REINSURANCE

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the loss that may
arise from events that cause unfavorable underwriting results by reinsuring
certain levels of risk in various areas of exposure with other insurance
enterprises or reinsurers. Reinsurance transactions are accounted for in
accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting
for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts" ("Statement
No. 113").

The Company reinsures 100% of its traditional individual life and certain blocks
of its universal life business, substantially all of its disability income
business, and effective January 1, 1998, the mortality risk on the variable
universal life and remaining universal life blocks of business in-force at
December 31, 1997.

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with
the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy. Reinsurance contracts
do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of
reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company;
consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible. The
Company determines the appropriate amount of reinsurance based on evaluation of
the risks accepted and analyses prepared by consultants and reinsurers and on
market conditions (including the availability and pricing of reinsurance). The
Company also believes that the terms of its reinsurance contracts are consistent
with industry practice in that they contain

standard terms with respect to lines of business covered, limit and retention,
arbitration and occurrence. Based on its review of its reinsurers' financial
statements and reputations in the reinsurance marketplace, the Company believes
that its reinsurers are financially sound.

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers at December 31, 1999 and 1998 for the
disability income business were $241.5 million and $230.8 million, respectively,
traditional life were $9.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively, and
universal and variable universal life were $36.0 million and $65.8 million,
respectively.

The effects of reinsurance were as follows:

On October 1, 1997, the Company revised the mortality assumptions for universal
life and variable universal life product lines. These revisions resulted in a
$50.3 million recapitalization of deferred policy acquisition costs.

The liability for future policy benefits and outstanding claims and losses
related to the Company's disability income business was $240.7 million and
$233.3 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Due to the reinsurance agreement
whereby the Company has ceded substantially all of its disability income
business to a highly rated reinsurer, the Company believes that no material
adverse development of losses will occur. However, the amount of the liabilities
could be revised in the near term if the estimates used in determining the
liability are revised.

12.  CONTINGENCIES

REGULATORY AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

Unfavorable economic conditions may contribute to an increase in the number of
insurance companies that are under regulatory supervision. This may result in an
increase in mandatory assessments by state guaranty funds, or voluntary payments
by solvent insurance companies to cover losses to policyholders of insolvent or
rehabilitated companies. Mandatory assessments, which are subject to statutory
limits, can be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes
in some states. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the potential
effect on it of any such future assessments or voluntary payments.

LITIGATION

In July 1997, a lawsuit on behalf of a putative class was instituted in
Louisiana against AFC and certain of its subsidiaries including AFLIAC, by
individual plaintiffs alleging fraud, unfair or deceptive acts, breach of
contract, misrepresentation, and related claims in the sale of life insurance
policies. In October 1997, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the Louisiana suit
and filed a substantially similar action in Federal District Court in Worcester,
Massachusetts. In early November 1998, AFC and the plaintiffs entered into a
settlement agreement. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement
on December 4, 1998. On May 19, 1999, the Court issued an order certifying the
class for settlement purposes and granting final approval of the settlement
agreement. AFLIAC recognized a $21.0 million pre-tax expense during the third
quarter of 1998 related to this litigation. Although the Company believes that
this expense reflects appropriate recognition of its obligation under the
settlement, this estimate assumes the availability of insurance coverage for
certain claims, and the estimate may be revised based on the amount of
reimbursement actually tendered by AFC's insurance carriers, and based on
changes in the Company's estimate of the ultimate cost of the benefits to be
provided to members of the class.

The Company has been named a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in
the normal course of business. In the Company's opinion, based on the advice of
legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. However,
liabilities related to these proceedings could be established in the near term
if estimates of the ultimate resolution of these proceedings are revised.

YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 issue resulted from computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs that
have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage
in similar normal business activities.

    (AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ALLMERICA FINANCIAL CORPORATION)

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Although the Company does not believe that there is a material contingency
associated with the Year 2000 issue, there can be no assurance that exposure for
material contingencies will not arise.

13.  STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company is required to file annual statements with state regulatory
authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such
authorities (statutory basis). Statutory surplus differs from shareholder's
equity reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
primarily because policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred,
investment reserves are based on different assumptions, life insurance reserves
are based on different assumptions and income tax expense reflects only taxes
paid or currently payable. In 1999, 49 out of 50 states have adopted the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners proposed Codification, which
provides for uniform statutory accounting principles. These principles are
effective January 1, 2001. The Company is currently assessing the impact that
the adoption of Codification will have on its statutory results of operations
and financial position. Statutory net income and surplus are as follows:

14.  EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DATE OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT (UNAUDITED)

During the second quarter of 2000, AFC adopted a formal company-wide
restructuring plan. This plan is the result of a corporate initiative that began
in the fall of 1999, intended to reduce expenses and enhance revenues. As a
result of this restructuring plan, AFLIAC recognized a pre-tax charge relating
to one-time project costs of $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity
Company and the Policyowners of the Group VEL Account of Allmerica Financial
Life Insurance and Annuity Company

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts
constituting the Group VEL Account of Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and
Annuity Company at December 31, 1999, the results of each of their operations
and the changes in each of their net assets for each of the periods indicated,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. These financial statements are the responsibility of Allmerica Financial
Life Insurance and Annuity Company; our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the Funds, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 4 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    On the date of issue and each monthly payment date thereafter, a monthly
charge is deducted from the policy value to compensate the Company for the cost
of insurance, which varies by policy, the cost of any additional benefits
provided by rider, and a monthly administrative charge. The policyowner may
instruct the Company to deduct this monthly charge from a specific Sub-Account,
but if not so specified, it will be deducted on a pro-rata basis of allocation
which is the same proportion that the policy value in the General Account of the
Company and in each Sub-Account bear to the total policy value.

    The Company makes a charge of up to 0.90% per annum based on the average
daily net asset value of each certificate (certificate value) in each
Sub-Account for mortality and expense risks. This charge may be different
between groups and increased or decreased within a group, subject to compliance
with applicable state and federal requirements, but the total charge may not
exceed 0.90% per annum. During the first 10 policy years, the Company may charge
up to 0.25% per annum of the certificate value in each Sub-Account for
administrative expenses.

    Allmerica Investments, Inc., (Allmerica Investments), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, is principal underwriter and general distributor of
Group VEL, and does not receive any compensation for sales of Group VEL
policies. Commissions are paid to registered representatives of Allmerica
Investments and to independent broker-dealers by the Company. The current series
of policies have a surrender charge and no deduction is made for sales charges
at the time of the sale.

NOTE 5 -- DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

    Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code, a variable life
insurance policy, other than a policy issued in connection with certain types of
employee benefit plans, will not be treated as a variable life insurance policy
for federal income tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the
segregated asset account on which the policy is based are not adequately
diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may
be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test
or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary
of The Treasury.

    The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of
the Code. The Company believes that Group VEL satisfies the current requirements
of the regulations, and it intends that Group VEL will continue to meet such
requirements.

NOTE 7 -- PLAN OF SUBSTITUTION FOR PORTFOLIO OF THE TRUST

    An application has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) seeking an order approving the substitution of shares of the Select
Investment Grade Income Fund (SIGIF) for all of the shares of the Select Income
Fund (SIF). To the extent required by law, approvals of such substitution will
also be obtained from the state insurance regulators in certain jurisdictions.
The effect of the substitution will be to replace SIF shares with SIGIF shares.
The substitution is planned to be effective on or about July 1, 2000.

PART II


UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

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

RULE 484 UNDERTAKING

Article VIII of Registrant's Bylaws provides: Each Director and each officer of
the Corporation, whether or not in office, (and his executors or
administrators), shall be indemnified or reimbursed by the Corporation against
all expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him in the defense or
reasonable settlement of any action, suit, or proceeding in which he is made a
party by reason of his being or having been a Director or officer of the
Corporation, including any sums paid in settlement or to discharge judgment,
except in relation to matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in such
action, suit, or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duties as such Director or officer; and the foregoing right
of indemnification or reimbursement shall not affect any other rights to which
he may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, any statute, bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the 1933 Act may be
permitted to Directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPRESENTATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 26(e) OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940

The Company hereby represents that the aggregate fees and charges under the
Policy are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses
expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the Company.
