OPTIONS OF THE PROSPECTUS:

If available, you may systematically transfer interest earned in available fixed
account guarantee periods ("FAGPs") into any of the Variable Portfolios on
certain periodic schedules offered by Us. You may change or terminate these
systematic transfers by contacting Our Annuity Service Center. Check with your
financial representative about the current availability of this service.

THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE PARAGRAPH TITLED "ANNUAL RE-EVALUATION" UNDER THE
ASSET ALLOCATION PROGRAM OF THE PROSPECTUS:

                  ANNUAL RE-EVALUATION

Each year, on or about March 31, the allocations in every model are re-evaluated
and updated to assure that the investment objectives remain consistent. The
percentage allocations within each model may change and investment options may
be added to or deleted from a model as a result of the annual re-evaluation. We
will automatically rebalance your investment according to the re-evaluated
allocations each year on or about March 31. If you choose not to participate in
the re-evaluation part of this program, you must contact the Annuity Service
Center. Some broker-dealers require that you consent to the re-evaluation each
year and will not allow Us to automatically rebalance your contract in
accordance with the re-evaluated models. Please check with your financial
representative to determine the protocol for his/her firm.
