OPTIONAL CAPITAL PROTECTOR FEE



         Contract Year                               Annualized Charge
         -------------                               -----------------
                                                  
         0-7                                         0.60%
         8-10                                        0.20%
         11+                                         none


         The Capital Protector feature is optional and if elected, the fee is
         calculated as a percentage of your contract value minus Purchase
         Payments received after the 90th day since you purchased your contract.
         The fee is deducted from your contract value at the end of the first
         contract quarter and quarterly thereafter.

                      MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM EXPENSE EXAMPLES
                      IF YOU DO NOT ELECT PRINCIPAL REWARDS

These Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These
costs include owner transaction expenses, contract maintenance fees, separate
account annual expense, fees for optional features and expenses for the
underlying portfolios of the Trusts.

The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods
indicated; that your investment has a 5% return each year; no withdrawals and
that the maximum and minimum fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios of
the Trusts are reflected. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions, your costs at the end of the stated period would be:

THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED AS THE SECOND TO LAST PARAGRAPH IN THE FIXED ACCOUNT
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 ON PAGE 13 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 reevaluation
allocations each year at or around 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 wit your financial
representative to determine the protocol for his/her firm.
