                              OWNERSHIP PROVISIONS

OWNER

The Owner is named in the Certificate. The Owner may exercise all the rights
contained in the Certificate, subject to the rights of:

1.    any assignee under an assignment filed with the Company's administrative
      office, if such assignment is permitted under the Certificate;

2.    any irrevocably named Beneficiary.

                             SINGLE PREMIUM PAYMENT

SINGLE PREMIUM PAYMENT

The Owner purchases the Certificate by making a Single Premium Payment to the
Company. Any taxes related to the premium payment are deducted by the Company
and the balance (the "Net Single Premium") is available for allocation between
Fixed and Variable Annuity Income.

ALLOCATION OF THE PREMIUM

The Owner determines the allocation of the Net Single Premium between Fixed and
Variable Annuity Income. The allocation will be shown on the Certificate
Schedule.

All of the Net Single Premium allocated for Variable Annuity Income is placed in
Subaccounts, each of which invests in a specific Investment Option. The Owner
selects the percentages to be placed in the Subaccount(s). All of the Net Single
Premium allocated for Fixed Annuity Income is placed in the Company's General
Account.

                                SEPARATE ACCOUNT

The Separate Account is established and maintained by the Company for the
purpose of investing amounts allocated to it from variable contracts issued by
the Company. The assets of the Separate Account are owned by the Company, are
held separately from other assets of the Company and are not chargeable with
liabilities arising out of any other business of the Company, except to the
extent that Separate Account assets exceed Separate Account liabilities arising
under the contracts supported by the Separate Account. Income, gains or losses,
whether or not realized, are credited to or charged against the subaccounts of
the Separate Account without regard to income, gains or losses arising out of
any of our other businesses. Nothing contained in this Contract shall be
construed as to give the Contractholder or the Certificateholder any rights,
title or interest in any of the assets held by the Separate Account.

                                        4
<PAGE>

                                   SUBACCOUNTS

The Separate Account is made up of one or more Subaccounts, each of which
invests in a portfolio of a specific Investment Option available under the
Contract. The Company reserves the right, subject to compliance with applicable
law, to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the shares that
are held by any Subaccount or that the Subaccount may purchase.

                               INVESTMENT OPTIONS

The Investment Options are selected by the Owner and listed in the Certificate
Schedule. The Subaccount may invest in mutual funds, unit investment trusts and
other investments which the Company determines to be suitable for the
Certificate. Interests in an Investment Option are purchased at their net asset
value and valued on each Valuation Date. The Owner shares in the income, gains
and losses of the Investment Options for which the Owner's premiums have been
allocated. The Company does not guarantee the investment performance of the
Subaccounts. The Owner bears the full investment risk for amounts allocated to
Subaccounts.

                       TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS

RIGHT TO TRANSFER

Subject to "Transfer Restrictions" below, amounts allocated to Subaccounts for
Variable Annuity Income may be transferred among available Investment Options at
any time. The Company reserves the right to charge $10 per transfer in excess of
the first 12 transfers in any Certificate Year. Amounts allocated for Variable
Annuity Income may be reallocated for Fixed Annuity Income. However, once
amounts are allocated for Fixed Annuity Income they cannot be reallocated for
Variable Annuity Income.

METHOD USED TO EFFECT TRANSFERS

Transfers among Investment Options are effected by transfers of Annuity Units
among the Subaccounts. The number of Annuity Units is affected by such
transfers. The number of Annuity Units attributable to the Variable Annuity
Income to be transferred is multiplied by the current Annuity Unit Value of the
Subaccount from which the Owner is transferring. This value is divided by the
current Annuity Unit Value of the Subaccount into which the Variable Annuity
Income is being transferred. The result of this division is the number of
additional Annuity Units allocated to the new Subaccount as a consequence of the
transfer. The total Variable Annuity Income, which may be affected by investment
experience after any transfer, will be calculated on the Annuity Income
Valuation Date next following the date of the transfer.

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

1.    The Company reserves the right to limit the number of transfers among the
      Investment Options to no more than one (1) on any Valuation Date.

2.    Transfers will take effect as of the Valuation Date next following the
      date on which the Company receives the transfer request.

3.    The minimum amount that can be transferred is $50 per month of income.

4.    Amounts allocated for Fixed Annuity Income may not be reallocated for
      Variable Annuity Income.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  CHARGES AGAINST THE ASSETS OF THE SUBACCOUNTS

In determining Annuity Unit Values, the Company makes a Mortality and Expense
Risk Charge equal, on an annual basis, to no more than [1.25%] of the daily
value of the assets of each Subaccount.

                         ANNUITY INCOME VALUATION DATES

The initial Annuity Income Valuation Date shall be coincident with the
Certificate Date. Each subsequent Annuity Income Valuation Date shall be no
earlier than seven business days prior to the next Income Change Date and in no
event shall be later than that date. Any revision to the Variable Annuity Income
in connection with an Annuity Income Valuation Date shall be effective as of
such Income Change Date and shall remain fixed until the next following Income
Change Date.

                          ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENT DATES

Variable Annuity Income will commence on the Income Start Date as specified in
the Certificate [but no later than 12 months after the Effective Date of the
Certificate]. Periodically as stated in the Certificate Schedule, the same
amount is paid to the Annuitant or Joint Annuitant if applicable, until the
Income Change Date, or prior to that Date if required by the Certificate.

If periodic benefit payments payable to any payee under the Certificate are less
than $100, the Company reserves the right to make payments less frequently, and
will make these payments in an aggregate amount not later than the first day of
the period to which the payment applies.

                   COMPUTATIONS OF THE VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME

For each Certificate the initial number of Annuity Units associated with each
Subaccount is equal to the initially allocated Variable Annuity Income divided
by the Annuity Unit Value of the Subaccount as described below, on the
Certificate Date. Following each Annuity Income Valuation Date the Variable
Annuity Income amounts for each payee are determined by multiplying the number
of Annuity Units allocated to each Subaccount by the then current Annuity Unit
Value for the respective Subaccount, and adding the resultant product for all
Subaccounts.

On each Valuation Date, the Variable Annuity Unit Value is determined as:

                                                          (   1   ) n/365
AnnUV t = AnnUV t-1 (multiplied by) NIF t (multiplied by) (-------)
                                                          (1 + AIR)

where:

AnnUVt      =     Annuity Unit Values for Valuation Date t.

NIFt        =     Net Investment Factor for the Valuation Period ending on
                  Valuation Date t as defined below.

AIR         =     Assumed Investment Return, as specified on the Certificate
                  Schedule.

n           =     Number of calendar days in the current Valuation Period (365
                  day basis).

                                       6
<PAGE>

             COMPUTATIONS OF THE VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME (continued)

On each Valuation Date, the Net Investment Factor is determined as:

         NAV t
NIF t = ------- - [n (multiplied by) (M & E)]
        NAV t-1

where:

NAVt        =     Net Asset Value per share of the Subaccount on Valuation Date
                  t, plus the per share amount of dividend or capital gain
                  distribution paid by the Subaccount during the Valuation
                  Period, plus or minus a per share charge or credit for any
                  taxes incurred by or reserved for in the Subaccount as of the
                  end of the current Valuation Period. [Currently, there is no
                  charge or credit for taxes in any Subaccount.]

n           =     Number of calendar days in the current Valuation Period (365
                  day basis).

M & E       =     Mortality and Expense Risk Charge expressed on a daily basis
                  as an annual rate divided by 365.

                                  FIXED ACCOUNT

Fixed Annuity Income represents obligations of the Company's General Account. At
any time an Owner may elect to transfer any or all of the Variable Annuity
Income to Fixed Annuity Income. This transfer will result in a Fixed Annuity
Income being paid to the Annuitant, or Joint Annuitant if applicable, in
accordance with the Annuity Income Option in effect. The amount of Fixed Annuity
Income shall be calculated based on the then current pricing factors for an
annuity in this same class of business. In no event shall this amount be less
than that which would be obtained using the following factors:

Mortality: [ 1994 Group Annuity Mortality, projected to the then current year
with Scale AA]

Interest: [ 3.50% ]

Expenses: [1.50% ]

                                 DEATH BENEFITS

If neither the Annuitant nor Joint Annuitant, if any, is alive on the Income
Start Date, the Certificate will be cancelled and the Company will pay a refund
to the Owner if living, or if not, to the Owner's estate. The amount of the
refund will be equal to the sum of the following: (1) the portion of the Net
Single Premium allocated for Variable Annuity Income, adjusted up or down for
investment performance; (2) the portion of the Net Single Premium allocated for
Fixed Annuity Income, including any accumulated interest; and (3) the
difference, if any, between the Single Premium Payment and the Net Single
Premium.

If an Annuitant dies after the Income Start Date, benefit continuation will be
determined by the Annuity Income Option in effect for the Certificate.

                             ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS

The Annuity Income Option is selected by the Owner in the application and is
shown on the Certificate Schedule.

Your Single Premium Payment is shown on the Certificate Schedule. Any taxes
related to the premium payment are deducted by the Company and the balance (the
"Net Single Premium") is available for allocation between Fixed and Variable
Annuity Income.

ALLOCATION OF THE PREMIUM

You, the Owner, determine the allocation of the Net Single Premium between Fixed
and Variable Annuity Income. The allocation is shown on the Certificate
Schedule.

All of the Net Single Premium allocated for Variable Annuity Income is placed in
Subaccounts, each of which invests in a specific Investment Option. The Owner
selects the percentages to be placed in the Subaccount(s). All of the Net Single
Premium allocated for Fixed Annuity Income is placed in the Company's General
Account.

                                SEPARATE ACCOUNT

The Separate Account is established and maintained by the Company for the
purpose of investing amounts allocated to it from variable contracts issued by
the Company. The assets of the Separate Account are owned by the Company, are
held separately from other assets of the Company and are not chargeable with
liabilities arising out of any other business of the Company, except to the
extent that Separate Account assets exceed Separate Account liabilities arising
under the contracts supported by the Separate Account. Income, gains or losses,
whether or not realized, are credited to or charged against the subaccounts of
the Separate Account without regard to income, gains or losses arising out of
any of our other businesses. Nothing contained in this Certificate shall be
construed as to give You any rights, title or interest in any of the assets held
by the Separate Account. We have the right to transfer to Our General Account
any assets of the Separate Account which are in excess of the liabilities of the
Separate Account.

                                   SUBACCOUNTS

The Separate Account is made up of one or more Subaccounts, each of which
invests in a portfolio of a specific Investment Option available under the
Certificate. The Company reserves the right, subject to compliance with
applicable law, to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the
shares that are held by any Subaccount or that the Subaccount may purchase.

                               INVESTMENT OPTIONS

The Investment Options you selected in the application are listed on the
Certificate Schedule. The Subaccount may invest in mutual funds, unit investment
trusts and other investments which the Company determines to be suitable for the
Certificate. Interests in an Investment Option are purchased at their net asset
value and valued on each Valuation Date. The Owner shares in the income, gains
and losses of the Investment Options for which the Owner's premiums have been
allocated. The Company does not guarantee the investment performance of the
Subaccounts. The Owner bears the full investment risk for amounts allocated to
Subaccounts.

                                  ANNUITY UNITS

The Annuity Unit Value will vary from Valuation Date to Valuation Date with the
investment experience of the portfolio in which the Subaccount invests. For each
Subaccount You select, the premium amount allocated to it is converted into
Annuity Units, as follows: the number of Annuity Units is determined as of the
Valuation Date by dividing that premium amount by the Annuity Unit Value for
that Subaccount.

In determining Variable Annuity Unit values, the Company makes a Mortality and
Expense Risk Charge against the daily value of the assets of each Subaccount.
The amount of the charge is shown in the Certificate Schedule.

                                       7

                          ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENT DATES

Variable Annuity Income will commence on the Income Start Date. Periodically, as
stated in the Certificate Schedule, the same amount is paid to the Annuitant or
Joint Annuitant if applicable, until the next Income Change Date, which is
stated in the Certificate Schedule.

If periodic benefit payments payable to any payee under the Certificate are less
than $100, the Company reserves the right to make payments less frequently, and
will make these payments in an aggregate amount not later than the first day of
the period to which the payment applies.

                   DETERMINATION OF THE INITIAL ANNUITY INCOME

The following factors determine the amount of the first Annuity Income payment:

1.    the amount of the premium allocated to provide Variable Annuity Income and
      the Assumed Investment Return;
2.    the amount of premium allocated to provide Fixed Annuity Income payments
      and the prevailing interest rates;
3.    the age and sex of the Annuitant, and Joint Annuitant if any;
4.    the Annuity Income Option selected;
5.    the frequency of Annuity Income payments;
6.    the deduction of any applicable premium taxes; and
7.    the time period from the Certificate Date to the Income Start Date.

               DETERMINATION OF SUBSEQUENT VARIABLE ANNUITY INCOME

As of an Annuity Income Valuation Date, We recalculate the Variable Annuity
Income to reflect the investment performance of the each Subaccount You
selected, adjusted by the Assumed Investment Return factor. The Variable Annuity
Income will remain level until the next Income Change Date. Subsequent Variable
Annuity Income may be more or less than the previously calculated payment
depending on whether the net investment performance of the selected Subaccount
is greater or less than the Assumed Investment Return.

                         ANNUITY INCOME VALUATION DATES

The initial Annuity Income Valuation Date shall be coincident with the
Certificate Date. Each subsequent Annuity Income Valuation Date shall be no
earlier than seven business days prior to the next Income Change Date and in no
event shall be later than that date. Any revision to the Variable Annuity Income
in connection with an Annuity Income Valuation Date shall be effective as of
such Income Change Date and shall remain fixed until the next following Income
Change Date thereafter.

                       TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS

RIGHT TO TRANSFER

Subject to the "Transfer Restrictions" below, amounts allocated to Subaccounts
for Variable Annuity Income may be transferred among available Investment
Options at any time. [The Company reserves the right to charge a transfer fee as
shown on the Certificate Schedule.] Amounts allocated for Variable Annuity
Income may be reallocated for Fixed Annuity Income. However, once amounts are
allocated for Fixed Annuity Income they cannot be reallocated for Variable
Annuity Income.

METHOD USED TO EFFECT TRANSFERS

Transfers among Investment Options are effected by transfers of Annuity Units
among the Subaccounts. The number of Annuity Units is affected by such
transfers. The number of Annuity Units attributable to the Variable Annuity
Income to be transferred is multiplied by the current Annuity Unit Value of the
Subaccount from which the Owner is transferring. This value is divided by the
current Annuity Unit Value of the Subaccount into which the Variable Annuity
Income is being transferred. The result of this division is the number of
additional Annuity Units allocated to the new Subaccount as a consequence of the
transfer. The total Variable Annuity Income, which may be affected by investment
experience after any transfer, will be calculated on the Annuity Income
Valuation Date next following the date of the transfer.

                 TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS (continued)

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

1.    The Company reserves the right to limit the number of transfers among the
      Subaccounts to no more than one (1) on any Valuation Date.

2.    Transfers will take effect as of the Valuation Date next following the
      date on which the Company receives the transfer request.

3.    The allocation of Variable Annuity Income after any transfer must result
      in at least [five percent (5%)] of the total Variable Annuity Income being
      derived from each of the utilized Subaccounts.

4.    Amounts allocated for Fixed Annuity Income may not be reallocated for
      Variable Annuity Income.

                              FIXED ANNUITY INCOME

Fixed Annuity Income represents obligations of the Company's General Account.
The Owner may select this payment on the application, and if so selected, the
payment amount is shown on the Certificate Schedule. At any time thereafter, an
Owner may elect to transfer any or all of the Certificate's Variable Annuity
Income to Fixed Annuity Income. Transfers may not be made from Fixed Annuity
Income to Variable Annuity Income.

                                 DEATH BENEFITS

If neither the Annuitant nor Joint Annuitant, if any, is alive on the Income
Start Date, the Certificate will be cancelled and the Company will pay a refund
to the Owner if living, or if not, to the Owner's estate. The amount of the
refund will be equal to the sum of the following: (1) the portion of the Net
Single Premium allocated for Variable Annuity Income, adjusted up or down for
investment performance; (2) the portion of the Net Single Premium allocated for
Fixed Annuity Income, including any accumulated interest; and (3) the
difference, if any, between the Single Premium Payment and the Net Single
Premium.

If an Annuitant dies after the Income Start Date, benefit continuation will be
determined by the Annuity Income Option in effect for the Certificate.

                             ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS

The Annuity Income Option is selected by the Owner and is shown on the
Certificate Schedule.

                            DELAY OF BENEFIT PAYMENT

We will make any payment under this Certificate within seven (7) days of its due
date or within seven (7) days of a request received in good order. However, We
reserve the right to suspend or postpone any type of payment or reallocation
from the Separate Account for any period when:

1.    The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekend and
      holiday closings;
2.    Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
3.    An emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonable or
      practicable to dispose of securities held in the Separate Account or
      determine their value; or
4.    The Securities and Exchange Commission so permits delay for the protection
      of security holders.
