Registered Fixed Account Option

The Registered Fixed Account Option is an investment option which may be available under your Contract. Please check with your Plan or your Contract to confirm You are eligible to allocate assets to the Registered Fixed Account Option.

The Registered Fixed Account Option is a part of the Company's general account. Allocations made to the Registered Fixed Account will earn a guaranteed rate of interest.

For Purchase Payments allocated to the Registered Fixed Account Option, initial interest rates are declared monthly and such rates apply to each new Purchase Payment received within that month and are guaranteed for a 12-month period. At the end of the initial 12-month Guarantee Period, a renewal interest rate will be determined for that Purchase Payment. The rate will never be less than the minimum interest rate permitted under New York law. (The minimum interest rate depends on the date your Contract was issued, but will not be less than 1%.) At the end of the initial Guarantee Period, the first renewal rate will be guaranteed to the end of that calendar year. The second and all subsequent renewal rates will be declared each January 1, and will be guaranteed through December 31 of that year.

There may be restrictions on allocations to and from the Registered Fixed Account. Please refer to the "Transfers" section of this Prospectus for additional information.

Contract Discontinuance

If your Plan discontinues the Contract, no further Purchase Payments or transfers will be allowed from the time we receive notice. Upon receipt of notice of discontinuation of the Contract, a Market Value Adjustment, if any (calculated as of a date requested by the Plan within 60 days before the date of discontinuance) will be calculated. The Market Value Adjustment is based upon the greater of the Plan's Cash Value in the Registered Fixed Account Option on the date of discontinuance or 30 days prior to the date of discontinuance. We will apply any resulting Market Value Adjustment (positive or negative) to the Plan which will then determine any application to Participants. If You are a Participant, contact your Plan Administrator/Trustee or your employer regarding whether a Market Value Adjustment will affect your Account when the Contract is terminated. We do not assess a Market Value Adjustment against the Separate Account. The negative Market Value Adjustment plus the surrender charges assessed will never exceed 10% of the amount allocated to the Registered Fixed Account Option. Under the terms of the Contract, we reserve the right to terminate the Contract when the Plan holds less than $20,000 in the Contract. A Market Value Adjustment may apply. We reserve the right to terminate a Participant's account that is less than $2,000 and Purchase Payments have not been made for at least three years.

If the Contract is discontinued because of Plan Termination due to the dissolution or liquidation of the employer under US Code Title 11 procedures, the Market Value Adjustment will not apply and the Cash Surrender Value will

------

be distributed directly to Participants. Distribution may be in the form of cash payments, annuity options or deferred annuities. This provision does not apply to Plans established under Section 457 of the Code.

We will not terminate a Contract that includes a guaranteed death benefit if at the time of termination would otherwise occur, the guaranteed amount under any death benefit is greater than the Cash Value. However, if You are a Participant and the Plan determines to terminate the Contract at a time when You have a guaranteed amount under any death benefit that is greater than the Cash Value, You forfeit any guaranteed death benefit You have accrued upon termination of the Contract.

If the Contract Owner requests a full surrender of the Contract or of all Cash Value in the Registered Fixed Account Option for reasons other than those discussed above, the Company will determine the market adjusted value of the Registered Fixed Account Option.

If the Company discontinues the Contract, we will pay the Contract Owner the Cash Value of the Registered Fixed Account Option with application of the Market Value Adjustment.
