investment series for shares already purchased, or to be purchased in the future
by Purchase Payments under the Certificate. No substitution of securities may
take place without prior approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission
and under such requirements as it may impose.

of the values of the Accumulation Units held in the Subaccounts for the
Participant.

NUMBER OF ACCUMULATION UNITS

Your Certificate is credited with Accumulation Units of the Separate Account
when amounts are allocated to the Subaccounts. For that portion of each Purchase
Payment and/or transfer amount allocated to a Subaccount, the number of
Accumulation Units credited is equal to the sum of each Purchase Payment and/or
transfer amount allocated to that Subaccount, reduced by premium taxes, if any:



                                       8
<PAGE>

Divided by

The Accumulation Unit value for that Subaccount for the NYSE business day on
which the Purchase Payment or transfer amount is allocated.

The number of Accumulation Units will be reduced for withdrawals of Certificate
Value, annuitizations, amounts transferred out of a Subaccount, and the
Certificate Administration Charge. Reductions will be made as of the end of the
NYSE business day in which We receive all requirements for the transaction, as
appropriate.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE (AUV)

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

(1)     is the total value at the end of the given NYSE business day of the
        assets attributable to the Accumulation Units of the Subaccount minus
        the total liabilities;

(2)     is the cumulative unpaid charge for assumption of Expense Risk,
        Distribution Expense and Mortality Risk charges (See CHARGES AND
        DEDUCTIONS);

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

FIXED ACCOUNT ACCUMULATION VALUE

Under a Certificate, the Fixed Account Accumulation Value shall be the sum of
all monies allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account Option(s), reduced by
any applicable premium taxes, plus all interest credited to the Fixed Account
Option(s) during the period that the Certificate has been in effect. This amount
shall be adjusted for withdrawals (which includes any applicable charges
associated with such withdrawals), annuitizations, transfers, any applicable MVA
on such transactions, and the Certificate Administration Charge. The Fixed
Account Accumulation Value shall not be less than the minimum values required by
law in the state where this Certificate is issued.

FIXED ACCOUNT GUARANTEE PERIOD OPTIONS AND INTEREST CREDITING

Any amounts allocated to the Fixed Account Options from the Initial Purchase
Payment will earn interest at the Initial Interest Rate for the Fixed Account
Option(s) selected for the duration of the Guarantee Period.

Subsequent Purchase Payments, if any, allocated to the Fixed Account Options
will earn interest at the Current Interest Rate for the Fixed Account Option(s)
selected for the duration of the Guarantee Period.

Transfers to the Fixed Account Options and amounts renewing in the Fixed Account
Options will earn interest at the Renewal Interest Rate for the Fixed Account
Option(s) selected for the duration of the Guarantee Period.

For thirty (30) days following the date of expiration of a Guarantee Period, You
may renew for the same or any other Guarantee Period at the Renewal Interest
Rate or You may transfer all or a portion of the amount to the Subaccount(s)
and/or Fixed Account Option(s). If You do not specify a Guarantee Period at the
time of renewal, We will select the same Guarantee Period as has just expired,
crediting the Certificate with the Renewal Interest Rate in effect on the date
of expiration of the Guarantee Period, so long as such Guarantee Period does not
extend beyond the Annuity Date. If a renewal occurs within one year of the
Annuity Date, We will credit interest up to the Annuity Date at the Renewal
Interest Rate for the 1-Year Fixed Account Option.



                                       9
<PAGE>

If You are participating in the DCA program, Purchase Payments may be allocated
to the DCA Fixed Account Option(s) or the 1-Year Fixed Account Option. Upon
termination of the DCA program, any amounts remaining in the DCA Fixed Account
Option(s) will be automatically transferred to the 1-Year Fixed Account Option.
Such amounts will earn interest at the Renewal Interest Rate for the 1-Year
Fixed Account Option.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (MVA)

Any payments and values based on a Fixed MVA Account Option may be subject to an
MVA, the operation of which may result in upward or downward adjustments in the
Certificate Value, if withdrawn, transferred or annuitized prior to the end of
the respective Guarantee Period. The MVA will be calculated by multiplying the
amount withdrawn, transferred or annuitized from a Fixed MVA Account Option by
the formula described below:

                {(1 + I)/(1+J+0.0050)}N/12 -1

I = The interest rate currently in effect for that Guarantee Period.

J = The Initial Interest Rate available for the Guarantee Period equal to the
number of years (rounded up to an integer) remaining in the current Guarantee
Period at the time of withdrawal, transfer or annuitization. In the
determination of J, if the Company currently does not offer the applicable
Guarantee Period, then the rate will be determined by linear interpolation of
the Initial Interest Rate for the nearest two Guarantee Periods that are
available.

N = The number of full months remaining in the current Guarantee Period at the
time the withdrawal, transfer or annuitization request is processed.

If a Withdrawal Charge is applied to a withdrawal, then the MVA will be applied
to the withdrawal amount net of the Withdrawal Charge.

There will be no MVA on withdrawals from a Fixed MVA Account Option in the
following situations: (1) to pay a Death Benefit upon death of the Participant;
(2) on amounts withdrawn to pay fees or charges in the Certificate; (3) on
amounts withdrawn or transferred from any of the Fixed Account Option within
thirty (30) days after the end of the Guarantee Period; (4) on annuitizations on
the Latest Annuity Date; (5) on amounts withdrawn from the 1-Year Fixed Account
Option or the DCA Fixed Account Options.

                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

We will deduct the following charges from the Certificate:

CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATION CHARGE

The charge specified on the Certificate Data Page will be deducted on each
Certificate anniversary that occurs on or prior to the Annuity Date. It will
also be deducted when the Certificate Value is withdrawn in full if withdrawal
is not on the Certificate anniversary. We reserve the right to assess a charge
on a class basis, which is less than the charge specified on the Certificate
Data Page. This charge is not deducted when the Certificate Value is greater
than [$50,000].

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

This charge may be deducted upon withdrawal of any portion of the Certificate
Value. See WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS.

MORTALITY RISK CHARGE

This charge, as shown on the Certificate Data Page, on an annualized basis
equals a percentage of the average daily ending value of the assets attributable
to the Accumulation Units of the Subaccounts to which the Certificate is
allocated. We subtract this charge daily. This charge is to compensate Us for
assuming the mortality risks under the Certificate.

EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

This charge, as shown on the Certificate Data Page, on an annualized basis
equals a percentage of the average daily ending value of the assets attributable
to the Accumulation Units of the Subaccounts to which the Certificate is
allocated. We subtract this charge daily. This charge is to compensate Us for
assuming the expense risks under the Certificate.

DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE CHARGE

This charge, as shown on the Certificate Data Page, on an annualized basis
equals a percentage of the average daily ending value of the assets attributable
to the Accumulation Units of the Subaccounts to which the Certificate is
allocated. We subtract this charge daily. This charge is to compensate Us for
distribution expenses associated with the Certificate.

GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT RISK CHARGE

This charge, as shown on the Certificate Data Page, on an annualized basis
equals a percentage of the average daily ending value of the assets attributable
to the Accumulation units of the Subaccounts to which the Certificate is
allocated. This charge is to compensate Us for the risk assumed as a result of
contractual obligations to provide a minimum guaranteed Death Benefit prior to
the Annuity Date.

<PAGE>

                               TRANSFER PROVISION

Prior to the Annuity Date, You may transfer all or part of Your Certificate
Value from a Subaccount to any Subaccount or Fixed Account Option subject to
certain restrictions. We reserve the right to charge a fee for transfers if the
number of transfers exceeds the limit specified by Us. The minimum amount that
can be transferred and the amount that can remain in a Subaccount or a Fixed
Account Option are subject to Company limits.

TRANSFERS OF ACCUMULATION AND ANNUITY UNITS BETWEEN SUBACCOUNTS

Prior to and after the Annuity Date, You may transfer all or a portion of Your
Certificate Value from one Subaccount to another Subaccount. Before the Annuity
Date, a transfer will result in the redemption of Accumulation Units in a
Subaccount and the purchase of Accumulation Units in the other Subaccount. After
the Annuity Date, a transfer will result in the redemption of Annuity Units in a
Subaccount and the purchase of Annuity Units in the other Subaccount(s).
Transfers will be effected at the end of the NYSE business day in which We
receive Your completed request for the transfer.

TRANSFERS OF ACCUMULATION UNITS TO AND FROM THE FIXED ACCOUNT

Prior to the Annuity Date, You may transfer all or any part of Your Certificate
Value from the Subaccount(s)to any Fixed Account Option(s) other than the DCA
Fixed Account Options or from the Fixed Account Option(s) to the Subaccount(s)
and/or the Fixed Account Option(s) of the Certificate. Transfers from the Fixed
Account Option(s) may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment as discussed in
the Market Value Adjustment Provision.

After the Annuity Date, transfers into or out of the Fixed Account Options are
not allowed.


                              WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

On or before the Annuity Date and while the Participant is living, You may
withdraw all or part of Your Certificate Value under this Certificate by
informing Us at Our Annuity Service Center. For a full withdrawal, this
Certificate must be returned to Our Annuity Service Center. The minimum amount
that can be withdrawn and the amount remaining after withdrawal are subject to
Company limits.

Without a written notice to the contrary, withdrawals will be deducted from the
Certificate Value in proportion to their allocation among the Fixed Account
Options and the Subaccounts. Withdrawals will be based on values at the end of
the NYSE business day in which the request for withdrawal and the Certificate
(in the case of a full withdrawal) are received at the Annuity Service Center.
Unless the SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS or DEFERMENT OF PAYMENTS section is in effect,
payment of withdrawals will be made within seven calendar days.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

Withdrawals of all or a portion of the Certificate Value may be subject to a
Withdrawal Charge as shown in the chart below. The Withdrawal Charge percentage
applied to any withdrawal will depend on how long the Purchase Payment to which
the withdrawal is attributed has been in the Certificate. No Withdrawal Charge
is made on an amount withdrawn, which is considered to be a withdrawal of
penalty-free earnings.



                                       12
<PAGE>

For the purpose of determining the Withdrawal Charge, a withdrawal will be
attributed to amounts in the following order: (1) penalty-free earnings in the
Certificate; (2) Purchase Payments which are both no longer subject to the
Withdrawal Charge and are not yet withdrawn; (3) any remaining Penalty-Free
Withdrawal amount (except in the case of a full surrender); and (4) Purchase
Payments subject to a Withdrawal Charge. Purchase Payments, when withdrawn, are
assumed to be withdrawn on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. You will not
receive the benefit of a Penalty-Free Withdrawal in a full surrender.

</TABLE>

The Withdrawal Charge will be assessed against the Subaccounts and the Fixed
Account Options in the same proportion that the remaining Certificate Value is
allocated unless You request that the withdrawal come from a particular Fixed
Account Option or Subaccount. After a Withdrawal is taken, the remaining
Certificate Value must be sufficient to cover any Withdrawal Charge remaining
upon full surrender of the Certificate.

PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS

As of any day, You may make a withdrawal of up to the Penalty-Free Withdrawal
amount for that day without incurring a Withdrawal Charge. Any Penalty-Free
Withdrawal made in excess of penalty-free earnings in the Certificate is
considered to be a withdrawal of future penalty-free earnings and is therefore
not a withdrawal of the Total Invested Amount. On any day, penalty-free earnings
in the Certificate are calculated as the Certificate Value at the end of that
day less the Total Invested Amount.

During the first Certificate Year, the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount is equal
to the penalty-free earnings in the Certificate as of the date of withdrawal.

Alternatively, during the first Certificate Year, You may make withdrawals of
the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount through the Systematic Withdrawal Program.
The Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as of any systematic withdrawal date is 10%
of the Total Invested Amount less any withdrawals already made during the
Certificate Year.

After the first Certificate Year, the maximum Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount as
of the date of the withdrawal is the greater of:

(a)     penalty-free earnings in the Certificate as of that date; or

(b)     10% of the Total Invested Amount on deposit for at least one year, less
        any withdrawals already made during the year.

Although amounts withdrawn free of a Withdrawal Charge may reduce principal,
they do not reduce the Total Invested Amount for purposes of calculating the
Withdrawal Charge or for the purposes of calculating penalty-free earnings in
the Certificate. As a result, You will not receive the benefit of a Penalty-Free
Withdrawal in a full surrender.

<PAGE>

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

Prior to the Annuity Date, You may elect to participate in the Systematic
Withdrawal Program by informing Us at Our Annuity Service Center. The Systematic
Withdrawal Program allows You to make automatic withdrawals from Your account
monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. The minimum systematic withdrawal
amount is subject to Company limits. Any amount withdrawn through the Systematic
Withdrawal Program may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge and/or a Market Value
Adjustment as discussed in the WITHDRAWAL CHARGE, PENALTY-FREE WITHDRAWALS and
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT provisions. You may terminate Your participation in the
Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time by sending Us a written request. We
reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Systematic Withdrawal
Program at any time.

Systematic withdrawals will be deducted from the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amount
available each Certificate Year.

DEATH OF ANNUITANT

If the Participant and Annuitant are different and the Annuitant dies before the
Annuity Date, the Participant becomes the Annuitant until such time as the
Participant elects a new Annuitant. If there are Joint Annuitants, upon the
death of any Annuitant prior to the Annuity Date, the Participant may elect a
new Joint Annuitant. However, if the Participant is a non-natural person, We
will treat the death of any Annuitant as the death of the "primary Annuitant"
and as the death of the Participant, see DEATH PROVISIONS.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX

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

PROOF OF AGE, SEX, OR SURVIVAL

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

        of or determine the value of the assets held in a Subaccount; or

(d)     the Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits for the
        protection of Participants.

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

CONFORMITY WITH STATE LAWS

The provisions of this Certificate will be interpreted by the laws of the state
in which the enrollment form was signed or such other state as is required by
law. Any provision which, on the Certificate Date, is in conflict with the law
of such state is amended to conform to the minimum requirements of such law.

CHANGES IN LAW

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

ASSIGNMENT

You may assign this Certificate before the Annuity Date, but We will not be
bound by an assignment unless it is received by Us in writing. Your rights and
those of any other person referred to in this Certificate will be subject to the
assignment. Certain assignments may be taxable. We do not assume any
responsibility for the validity or tax consequences of any assignment.

Certificate will be subject to claims of creditors or legal process.

PREMIUM TAXES AND OTHER TAXES

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

Enrollment Form unless You request otherwise. Any written request or notice to
Us must be sent to Our Annuity Service Center, at the address specified on the
Certificate Data Page.

account activity of the Certificate as well as confirmation reports after each
financial transaction. The statement will include all transactions which have
occurred during the quarterly accounting period shown on the statement.

INCONTESTABILITY

This Certificate will be incontestable from the Certificate Date.

                                DEATH PROVISIONS

Notwithstanding any provision of this Certificate to the contrary, all payments
of benefits under this Certificate will be made in a manner that satisfies the
requirements of IRC Section 72(s), as amended from time to time. If the
Certificate is owned by a trust or other non-natural person, We will treat the
death of any Annuitant as the death of the "Primary Annuitant", as defined in
IRC Section 72(s)(6), as the death of any Participant.

DUE PROOF OF DEATH

Due Proof of Death means:

                1.      a certified copy of a death certificate; or

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

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

                4.      any other proof satisfactory to Us.

DEATH OF PARTICIPANT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE

We will pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary upon Our receiving: (a) due proof
that the Participant died before the Annuity Date, (b) an election form
specifying the payment option and (c) any other documentation We may require.
Unless You have previously designated a payment option on behalf of the
Beneficiary, the Beneficiary must select one of the following payment options:

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

2.      Collect the death benefit in the form of one of the Annuity Payment
        Options. If an Annuity Payment Option is desired, an option must be
        elected within 60 days of Our receipt of: (a) Due Proof of Death of the
        Participant; (b) an election form specifying the payment option and (c)
        any other documentation We may require. The payments must be over the
        life of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life
        expectancy of the Beneficiary. Payments under this death



                                       16
<PAGE>

        benefit option must commence within one year after the Participant's
        death, otherwise, the death benefit will be paid in accordance with
        death benefit option 1; or

3.      If eligible, continue the Certificate as a Spousal Beneficiary. On the
        Continuation Date, We will contribute to the Certificate any amount by
        which the Death Benefit exceeds the Certificate Value, calculated as of
        the Participant's date of death. This amount is not considered a
        Purchase Payment. If an amount is contributed by Us to the Certificate
        on the Continuation Date, then upon death of the Spousal Beneficiary the
        subsequent death benefit will be calculated as if the Certificate was
        issued to the Spousal Beneficiary on the Continuation Date. Otherwise,
        the death benefit payable upon death of the Spousal Beneficiary will be
        calculated as if the Certificate was issued to the Spousal Beneficiary
        on the original Certificate Date.

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

In any event, the entire interest in the Certificate will be distributed within
five years from the date of death of the Participant unless payment option 2 or
3 as provided under DEATH OF PARTICIPANT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.

AMOUNT OF DEATH BENEFIT

Before You attain age 75 the amount of death benefit is equal to the greater of:

        1.      the Certificate Value at the end of the NYSE business day during
                which We receive at Our Annuity Service Center the required due
                proof of the Participant's death and an election of the type of
                payment to be made; or

        2.      Purchase Payments, reduced for partial withdrawals (including
                any charges applicable to such withdrawals) in the same
                proportion that the Certificate Value was reduced on the date of
                any such withdrawals, compounded until the date of death at 3%
                interest, plus any Purchase Payments recorded after the date of
                death. This amount is further reduced for partial withdrawals
                recorded after the date of death (including any charges
                applicable to such withdrawals) in the same proportion that the
                Certificate Value was reduced on the date of any such
                withdrawals.

After You attain age 75 the amount of death benefit is equal to the greater of:

        1.      the Certificate Value at the end of the NYSE business day during
                which We receive at Our Annuity Service Center required due
                proof of the Participant's death and an election of the type of
                payment to be made; or

        2.      Purchase Payments reduced for partial withdrawals (including any
                charges applicable to such withdrawals) in the same proportion
                that the Certificate Value was reduced on the date of any such
                withdrawals, compounded until the attainment of age 75 at 3%
                interest, plus any Purchase Payments recorded after the
                attainment of age 75. This amount is further reduced for partial
                withdrawals recorded after the attainment of age 75 (including
                any charges applicable to such withdrawals) in the same
                proportion that the Certificate Value was reduced on the date of
                any such withdrawals.



                                       17
<PAGE>

DEATH OF PARTICIPANT OR ANNUITANT ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY DATE

If the Participant or Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Date and before the
entire interest in the Certificate has been distributed, We will pay the
remaining portion of the interest of the Certificate as under the Annuity
Payment Option being distributed on the date of death upon our receipt of Due
Proof of Death. For further information pertaining to death of the Annuitant,
see ANNUITY PAYMENT OPTIONS.

BENEFICIARY

The Beneficiary is selected by the Participant. While (a) the Participant is
living; and (b) before the Annuity Date, the Participant may change the
Beneficiary by written notice in a form satisfactory to Us. A change in
Beneficiary will take effect on the date the notice of change was signed. Such
change, however, will not apply to any payment or action taken by Us before the
notice was received at Our Annuity Service Center. If two or more persons are
named, (a) those surviving the Participant will share equally unless otherwise
stated; and (b) the Beneficiaries must elect to receive their respective
portions of the death benefit according to the options listed under DEATH OF
PARTICIPANT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE. If the Annuitant survives the Participant,
and there are no surviving Beneficiaries, the Annuitant will be deemed the
Beneficiary.

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

If the Participant is also the Annuitant and there are no surviving
Beneficiaries upon death of the Participant, the death benefit will be paid to
the estate of the Participant in accordance with option 1 under DEATH OF
PARTICIPANT BEFORE THE ANNUITY DATE.


                               ANNUITY PROVISIONS

ANNUITY DATE

The Participant specifies an anticipated Annuity Date (the date on which annuity
payments are to begin). The date provided by the Participant to Us at the time
of application is shown on the Certificate Data Page as the Specified Annuity
Date. The Participant may change the Specified Annuity Date at any time, at
least seven days prior to the Annuity Date, by written notice to the Company at
its Annuity Service Center. The Annuity Date must always be the first day of the
calendar month and must be at least two years after the Certificate Date, but
not beyond the later of the Participant's 95th birthday or ten years after the
Certificate Date. If the Participant is a non-natural person, the latest Annuity
Date is the later of the Annuitant's 95th birthday or ten years after the
Certificate Date. If no Annuity Date is specified, the Annuity Date will be the
Latest Annuity Date, as set by the Company.

PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANT

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

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



                                       18
<PAGE>

FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS

If a Fixed Annuity payment option has been elected, the proceeds payable under
this Certificate less any applicable premium taxes, shall be applied to the
payment of the Fixed Annuity payment option elected at rates which are at least
equal to the annuity rates based upon the applicable tables in the Certificate.
In no event will the Fixed Annuity payments be changed once they begin.

AMOUNT OF FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS

The amount of each Fixed Annuity payment will be determined by applying the
portion of the Certificate Value allocated to Fixed Account Options less any
applicable premium taxes to the annuity table applicable to the Fixed Annuity
payment option chosen.

AMOUNT OF VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS

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

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

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

The Net Investment Factor for any Subaccount for a certain month is determined
by dividing (1) by (2) where:

                (1)     the Accumulation Unit Value of the Subaccount determined
                        as of the last business day at the end of that month;

                (2)     the Accumulation Unit Value of the Subaccount determined
                        as of the last business day at the end of the preceding
                        month.


The result is then multiplied by a factor that neutralizes the assumed
investment rate of 3.5%.

(d)     SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS: After the first Variable Annuity
        payment, payments will vary in amount according to the investment
        performance of the applicable Subaccount(s) to which Your Purchase
        Payments are allocated. The amount may change from month to month. The
        amount of each subsequent payment for each Subaccount is:

The number of Annuity Units for each Subaccount as determined for the first
annuity payment

Multiplied by



                                       19
<PAGE>

The value of an Annuity Unit for that Subaccount at the end of the month
immediately preceding the month in which payment is due.

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