Policy Benefits/Risk Summary        WRL Freedom Elite Builder® 

This summary describes the Policy’s important benefits and risks.  More detailed information about the Policy appears later in this prospectus and in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).  For your convenience, we have provided a Glossary at the end of this prospectus that defines certain words and phrases used in this prospectus.

Policy Benefits

The Policy in General
 
·  
The WRL Freedom Elite Builder® is an individual flexible premium variable life insurance policy, which gives you the potential for long-term life insurance coverage with the opportunity for tax-deferred accumulation of cash value.
 
·   
The Policy is designed to be long-term in nature in order to provide significant life insurance benefits for you.  You should only purchase the Policy if you have the financial ability to keep it in force for a substantial period of time.  You should consider the Policy in conjunction with other insurance that you own.
 
·  
We offer four (4) bands of coverage under the Policy depending on the initial specified amount of insurance you have selected and any adjustments to the specified amount after issue:
·  
Band 1: $50,000 - $249,999
 
·  
Band 2: $250,000 - $499,999
 
·  
Band 3: $500,000 - $999,999
 
         
Band 4: $1,000,000 or more
 
·   
Certain Policy charges are based on the band of coverage.  Generally, the higher the band the lower the charges.
 
·   
Your Policy offers supplemental riders, and depending on which riders are selected, certain charges may be deducted from the Policy’s cash value as part of the monthly deductions.
 
·   
You will have a “free-look period” once we deliver your Policy. You may return the Policy with the owner’s original signature and a written request during this period and receive a refund. We will place your net premium in the reallocation account until the reallocation date as shown on your Policy schedule page. Please see “Canceling a Policy” for a description of the free-look period.
 
·   
You  may apply for an increase in the specified amount at any time before the insured’s 86 th   birthday, and you may decrease the specified amount after your Policy has been in force for three years, but you may not increase and decrease the specified amount in the same Policy year.  If approved, the change will take effect on the next Policy Monthiversary.  Changes are not allowed after the insured reaches age 95.  The amount of your decrease may be limited.  For further details, please see “Death Benefits – Increasing/Decreasing the Specified Amount.”
 
·   
You can invest your net premium in, and transfer your cash value to, subaccounts.  Your cash value will fluctuate with the daily performance of   the portfolios   in which the subaccount invest.
 
·   
You may place your money in the fixed account where it earns an interest rate declared in advance for a specified period (at least 3% annual interest) or in any of the subaccounts of the WRL Series Life Account (the “Separate Account”) which are described in this prospectus. The fixed account is not available to you if your   Policy was applied for before September 22, 2008 and issued before January 1, 2009 in the State of New Jersey.
 
·   
The Policy’s cash value will increase or decrease depending on the investment performance of the subaccounts, the premiums you pay, the fees and charges that we deduct, the interest we credit to the fixed account, and the effects of any Policy transactions (such as transfers, loans and cash withdrawals).   Returns are not guaranteed . The Policy is not suitable as a short-term investment or savings vehicle.
 
·   
Your Policy   has a no lapse guarantee which means that as long as certain requirements are met, your Policy will remain in force and no grace period will begin until the no lapse date shown on your Policy schedule page.  This is true even if your net surrender value is too low to pay the monthly deductions as long as, on any Monthiversary, you have paid premiums ( minus any cash withdrawals, minus any outstanding loan amount, minus any accrued loan interest, and minus any decrease charge) that equal or exceed the sum of the minimum monthly guarantee premiums in effect for each month from the Policy date up to and including the current month. T he no l apse guarantee is discussed in more detail in the section of this prospectus entitled “Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.”
 
 
·  
There may be adverse consequences should you decide to surrender your Policy early, such as payment of a surrender charge during the first 15 Policy years and for 15 years from the date of any increase in the specified amount of life insurance coverage that   you select .
 
 
Flexibility
 
The Policy is designed to be flexible to meet your specific circumstances and life insurance needs.  Within certain limits, you can:

·
Choose the timing, amount and frequency of premium payments.
·
Change the Death Benefit Option.
·
Increase or decrease the amount of life insurance coverage.
·
Change the beneficiary.
·
Transfer cash value among investment options available under the Policy.
·
Take a loan against the Policy.
·
Take cash withdrawals or surrender the Policy.

Death Benefit
 
If the insured dies while the Policy is in force, we will pay a death benefit to the named beneficiary(ies) in accordance with the terms of the Policy. The amount of the death benefit generally depends on the specified amount of insurance that you select, the death benefit option that you choose, your Policy’s cash value, and any additional life insurance provided by riders that you purchase. The death benefit proceeds are reduced by any outstanding loan amount, including accrued loan interest, and any due and unpaid charges if the insured dies during the grace period.

You may choose one of three Death Benefit Options:
 
·
Under Option A , the death benefit is the greatest of:
     
 
>
The specified amount; or
 
>
The minimum death benefit under the Guideline Premium Test ; or
 
>
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
   
·
Under Option B , the death benefit is the greatest of:
 
>
The specified amount plus the Policy's cash value on the date of the insured's death; or
 
>
The minimum death benefit under the Guideline Premium Test ; or
 
>
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
   
·
Under Option C , the death benefit is the greatest of:
 
>
The amount payable under Option A; or
 
>
The specified amount, multiplied by an age-based "factor," plus the Policy's cash value on the date of the insured's death; or
 
>
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Cash Value
 
Your cash value is the sum of the value of your investment in the subaccounts plus the value of the fixed account , including the loan reserve account, on any business day.  It is not guaranteed - it depends on the performance of the investment options that you have chosen, the timing and the amount of premium payments you have made, Policy charges, and how much you have withdrawn from the Policy.

You can access your cash value in several ways:
 
·  
Withdrawals – You can withdraw part of your Policy’s net surrender value once each year after the first Policy year.  Withdrawals are described in more detail in the section of this prospectus entitled “Surrenders and Cash Withdrawals – Cash Withdrawals.”
 
·  
Loans – After the first Policy year, you can take a loan from the Policy using your Policy’s net surrender value as security as long as you qualify.  Loans and loan interest rates are described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Loans.”
 
·  
Surrender Y ou can surrender or cash in your Policy for its net surrender value while the insured is alive.  Surrenders are described in more detail in the section of this prospectus entitled “Surrenders and Cash Withdrawals – Surrenders.” You may pay a substantial surrender charge if you surrender your Policy.
 
Investment Options
 
You can choose to allocate your net premiums and cash value among the subaccounts, each of which invests in a corresponding portfolio of the various underlying funds.  Your Policy also offers a fixed account option, which provides a guaranteed minimum rate of interest.

You can transfer your cash value among the fixed account and the subaccounts during the life of your Policy. You can accumulate cash value among the fixed account and the subaccounts without paying any current income tax.  We may limit the number of transfers out of the fixed account and, in some cases, may limit your transfer activity to deter disruptive trading and market timing.   We may charge a $25 transfer processing fee for each transfer after the first 12 transfers in a Policy year.  For more details, please refer to the section entitled "Transfers" in this prospectus.

Tax Information
 
 We intend the Policy to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code so that the death benefit generally should not be taxable income to the beneficiary.  If your policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract (“MEC”) you will generally not be taxed on the gain in the Policy unless you take a cash withdrawal in excess of your basis in the Policy or a loan that is not repaid prior to surrender of your Policy.  If your P olicy is a MEC, cash withdrawals, loans, assignments, and pledges are treated first as taxable income to you to the extent of gain then in the policy and then as non-taxable recovery of basis.  In addition, such gains may be subject to a 10% penalty tax if received before age 59½.  Please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more details.
 
 
Risks of Your Policy

Long-Term Financial Planning
 
The Policy is designed to help meet long-term financial objectives by paying a death benefit to family members and/or other named beneficiaries. It is not suitable as a short-term savings vehicle.  It may not be the right kind of policy if you plan to withdraw money or surrender your Policy for short-term needs. A charge may be assessed on withdrawals. You may pay a substantial charge if you surrender your Policy.   See the section of this prospectus entitled “Fee Tablesand your Policy for charges assessed when taking a cash withdrawal or surrendering your Policy.

Please discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your registered representative.

Risk of an Increase in Current Fees and Expenses
 
Certain fees and expenses are currently assessed at less than their guaranteed maximum levels.  In the future, these charges may be increased up to the guaranteed (maximum) levels.  If fees and expenses are increased, you may need to increase the amount and/or frequency of premiums to keep your Policy in force.

Investment Risks
 
If you invest your Policy’s cash value in one or more subaccounts, then you will be subject to the risk that the investment performance of the subaccounts will be unfavorable and that your cash value will decrease.  Also, we deduct Policy fees and charges from your cash value, which can significantly reduce your cash value.  During times of poor investment performance, this deduction will have an even greater impact on your cash value.  You could lose everything you invest and your Policy could lapse without value, unless you pay additional premiums.  If you allocate premiums to the fixed account, then we credit your fixed account value with interest at a rate declared by us .  You assume the risk that the interest rate on the fixed account may decrease, although it will never be lower than the guaranteed minimum annual effective rate of 3%.

Risks of Managing General Account Assets
 
The g eneral account assets of W estern Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (“WRL”; “Western Reserve”; the “Company”) are used to support the payment of the death benefit under the Polic y .  To the extent that Western Reserve is required to pay you amounts in addition to the Policy’s subaccount value under the death benefit, such amounts will come from general account assets.  You should be aware that the general account assets are exposed to the risks normally associated with a portfolio of fixed-income securities, including interest rate, option, liquidity and credit risk, and are also subject to the claims of   Western Reserve’s general creditors. Western Reserve’s financial statements contained in the Statement of Additional Information include a further discussion of risks inherent with the general account investments.

Premium Payments
 
Federal tax laws put limits on the premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit.  We may refuse all or part of a premium payment that you make, or remove all or part of a premium from your Policy and return it to you with earnings under certain circumstances to maintain qualification of the Policy as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.  Please refer to the section entitled “Premiums” for more details.

Lapse
 
Your Policy will stay in force as long as the net surrender value is sufficient to cover your monthly deductions and Policy charges, or as long as the No Lapse Guarantee is in effect.  Insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest may cause your Policy to lapse – which means you will no longer have insurance coverage.  A Policy lapse may have adverse tax consequences. There are costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy.  For a detailed discussion of your Policy’s Lapse and Reinstatement provisions, please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.”

Withdrawals and Loans

Making a withdrawal or taking a loan may:

·  
Reduce your Policy’s specified amount.
 
·  
Reduce the death benefit proceeds paid to your beneficiary.
 
·  
Make your Policy more susceptible to lapsing.
 
·  
Trigger federal income taxes and, possibly a penalty tax.
 
Cash withdrawals will reduce your cash value.  Withdrawals, especially those taken during periods of poor investment performance could considerably reduce or eliminate some benefits or guarantees under the Policy. Federal income taxes and a penalty tax may apply to loans and cash withdrawals.  Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Be sure to plan carefully before using these Policy benefits.  For a detailed description of withdrawals and loans, and any associated risks, please see the sections of this prospectus entitled “Surrenders and Cash Withdrawals – Cash Withdrawals” and/or “Loans.”

Surrenders
 
If you surrender your Policy during the first 15 Policy years (or during the first 15 Policy years from the date of any increase in specified amount) you will pay a surrender charge. The surrender charge may be significant.  Federal income tax and/or a penalty tax may also apply.  Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Tax Consequences of Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans

If your Policy is a MEC, cash withdrawals, surrenders, assignments, pledges, and loans that you receive or make during the life of the Policy may be taxable and subject to a federal tax penalty equal to 10% of the taxable amount if taken prior to age 59½.  Tax issues to consider when you own a life insurance policy are described in more detail in the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Note: Certain transactions may subject you to income tax even if your Policy is not a MEC.  You should consult with your own qualified tax advisor to apply the law to your particular circumstances.

 
Portfolio Risks

A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each portfolio may be found in each portfolio’s prospectus.  Please refer to the prospectuses for the portfolios for more information.

 There is no assurance that any portfolio will meet its investment objective.


Fee Tables           

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering your Policy.  Please Note:  We have presented two versions of each table.  Section A includes the fee tables for Policies that were applied for on or after September 22, 2008, regardless of when such Policies are issued, and are based on the Commissioners 2001 Standard Ordinary Tobacco and Non-Tobacco Mortality Tables (“2001 C.S.O. Tables”).  Section B includes the fee tables for Policies that were applied for before September 22, 2008 and issued before January 1, 2009, and are based on the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Tobacco and Non-Tobacco Mortality Tables (“1980 C.S.O. Tables”).  If the amount of a charge depends on the personal characteristics of the insured or the owner, then the fee table lists the minimum and maximum charges we assess under the Policy, and the fees and charges of a representative insured with the characteristics set forth below.  These charges may not be representative of the charges you will pay.

3 The surrender charge will vary based on the issue age, gender and underwriting class of the insured on the Policy date and at the time of any increase in the specified amount.  The amount of the surrender charge usually declines over time.  Each increase in specified amount will have its own 15 year surrender charge period starting on the date of the increase.  (Note: only the increase in specified amount is subject to the additional 15 year surrender charge period.) The surrender charge for each increase in specified amount (‘layer”) is calculated as the surrender charge per $1,000 of specified amount multiplied by the number of thousands of dollars of specified amount in the layer, multiplied by the surrender charge factor. The surrender charge factor will be 1.00 for the first Policy year and then decrease each Policy year until it reaches zero at the end of the 15th Policy year after the Policy date (or date of any specified amount increase).  The surrender charges shown in the table may not be typical of the charges you will pay.  Please see examples in the “Surrender Charges” section of this prospectus.  More detailed information about the surrender charges applicable to you is available from your registered representative.
4 This maximum surrender charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: Male, issue age 85, in the standard tobacco use underwriting class. This maximum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.
5 This minimum surrender charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: Female, issue age 0, in the juvenile underwriting class. This minimum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.

The discount factor is equal to the current yield on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills or interest rate charged on the Policy loan interest rate, whichever is greater. For a complete description of the Living Benefit Rider, please refer to the section entitled “Living Benefit Rider (an Accelerated Death Benefit)” in this prospectus.

8 Cost of insurance charges are based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the insured’s issue age, gender and underwriting class, the Policy’s specified amount, and the net amount at risk.  Cost of insurance rates generally will increase each year with the age of the insured.  Cost of insurance rates are generally lower for each band of specified amount.  For example, B and 2 (specified amounts $250,000 - $499,999) generally has lower cost of insurance rates than those of B and 1 (specified amounts less than $250,000).  The cost of insurance rates shown in the table may not be representative of the charges you will pay.  Your Policy’s schedule page will indicate the guaranteed cost of insurance applicable to your Policy.  You can obtain more detailed information concerning your cost of insurance charges by contacting your registered representative.
9 We may place an insured in a substandard underwriting class with extra ratings that reflect higher mortality risks and that result in higher cost of insurance rates. If the insured possesses additional mortality risks, then we may add a surcharge to the cost of insurance rates up to a total charge of $83.33 monthly per $1,000 of net amount at risk.
10 This maximum charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: Male, age 85 at issue, standard tobacco class, with an initial specified amount of less than $250,000 (Band 1) and in the 15th Policy year.  This maximum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.
11 The net amount at risk equals the death benefit on a Monthiversary, divided by 1.0024663, minus the cash value on such Monthiversary. Please refer to the section entitled “Charges and Deductions – Monthly Deductions” for a description of the factor.
12 This minimum charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: Female, age 5 at issue, juvenile class, with an initial specified amount of $1,000,000 or higher (Band 4) and in the first Policy year.  This minimum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.

The maximum loan interest spread on preferred loans is 1.00%, and the current spread is 0.0%.
14 While a Policy loan is outstanding, loan interest is payable in arrears on each Policy anniversary, or, if earlier, on the date of loan repayment, Policy lapse, surrender, Policy termination, or the insured’s death.
15 Optional Rider Cost of insurance charges are based on a number of factors, including , but not limited to: each insured’s issue age or attained age, gender and rider face amount.

9  Cost of insurance charges are based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the insured’s issue age, gender and underwriting class, the specified amount, and the net amount at risk.  Cost of insurance rates generally will increase each year with the age of the insured.  Cost of insurance rates are generally lower for each higher band of specified amount.  For example, B and 2 (specified amounts $250,000 - $499,999) generally has lower cost of insurance rates than those of B and 1 (specified amounts less than $250,000).  The cost of insurance rates shown in the table may not be representative of the charges you will pay.  Your policy’s schedule page will indicate the guaranteed cost of insurance charges applicable to your Policy.  You can obtain more detailed information concerning your cost of insurance charges by contacting your registered representative.
10  We may place an insured in a substandard underwriting class with extra ratings that reflect higher mortality risks and that result in higher cost of insurance rates. If the insured possesses additional mortality risks, then we may add a surcharge to the cost of insurance rates up to a total charge of $83.33 monthly per $1,000 of net amount at risk.
1 1  This maximum charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: Male, age 85 at issue, standard tobacco class, with an initial specified amount of less than $250,000 (Band 1) and in the 15th Policy year.  This maximum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.
1 2  The net amount at risk equals the death benefit on a Monthiversary, divided by 1.0024663, minus the cash value on such Monthiversary. Please refer to the section entitled “Charges and Deductions – Monthly Deductions” for a description of the factor.
1 3  This minimum charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: Female, age 10 at issue, juvenile class, with an initial specified amount of $1,000,000 or higher (Band 4) and in the first Policy year.  This minimum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.

The maximum loan interest spread on preferred loans is 1.00%, and the current spread is 0.0%.
1 5 While a Policy loan is outstanding, loan interest is payable in arrears on each Policy anniversary, or, if earlier, on the date of loan repayment, Policy lapse, surrender, Policy termination, or the insured’s death.
1 6  Optional Rider C harges are based on a number of factors including, but not limited to: some combination of each insured’s issue age or attained age, gender and rider face amount.

Range of Expenses for the Portfolios1, 2

The next table shows the lowest and highest total operating expenses charged by the portfolios during the fiscal year ended December 31, 201 2 .  Expenses of the portfolios may be higher or lower in the future.  More detail concerning each portfolio’s fees and expenses is contained in the prospectus for each portfolio.

1 The portfolio expenses used to prepare this table were provided to Western Reserve by the funds. The expenses shown are those incurred for the year ended December 31, 201 2 .  Current or future expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
2 The table showing the range of expenses for the portfolios takes into account the expenses of several Transamerica Series Trust asset allocation portfolios and the Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund that are each a “fund of funds.”  A “fund of funds” portfolio typically allocates its assets, within predetermined percentage ranges, among certain other Fund portfolios and affiliated Fund portfolios (each such portfolio an "Acquired Fund").  Each “fund of funds” has its own set of operating expenses, as does each of the portfolios in which it invests.  In determining the range of portfolio expenses, Western Reserve took into account the information received from the Fund groups on the combined actual expenses for each of the “fund of funds” and for the portfolios in which it invests. The combined expense information includes the Acquired Fund (i.e., the underlying fund’s) fees and expenses for the Transamerica Series Trust asset allocation portfolios and the Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund. See the prospectuses for the Transamerica Series Trust and the Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund for a presentation of the applicable Acquired Fund fees and expenses.
3 The range of Net Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses takes into account contractual arrangements for 32 portfolios that require a portfolio’s investment adviser to reimburse or waive portfolio expenses until April 30, 201 4 .
 

 
Western Reserve, The Separate Account, The Fixed Account and The Portfolios 

Western Reserve

Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio, located at 570 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, is the insurance company issuing the Policy.   We are obligated to pay all benefits under the Policy as long as the Policy is active and in force.

Financial Condition of the Company  

The benefits under the Policy are paid by Western Reserve from its General Account assets and/or your cash value held in the Company’s separate account.  It is important that you understand that payment of the benefits is not guaranteed and depends upon certain factors discussed below.

Assets in the Separate Account.  You assume all of the investment risk for your cash value that is allocated to the subaccounts of the separate account.  Your cash value in those subaccounts constitutes a portion of the assets of the separate account.  These assets are segregated and insulated from our general account, and may not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business that we may conduct. See "The Separate Account."

Assets in the General Account.  You also may be permitted to make allocations to the fixed account, which is supported by the assets in our general account.  See "The Fixed Account."  Any guarantees under the Policy that exceed your cash value, such as those associated with the Policy’s death benefit, are paid from our general account (and not the separate account).  Therefore, any amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the Policy in excess of the subaccount value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. The assets of the separate account, however, are also available to cover the liabilities of our general account, but only to the extent that the separate account assets exceed the separate account liabilities arising under the Policies supported by it.

We issue other types of insurance policies and financial products as well, and we also pay our obligations under these products from our assets in the general account.

Our Financial Condition.  As an insurance company, we are required by state insurance regulation to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet all the contractual obligations of our general account to our policyowners.  We monitor our reserves so that we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected policy and claims payments. In addition, we hedge our investments in our general account, and may require purchasers of certain of the variable insurance products that we offer to allocate premium payments and cash value in accordance with specified investment requirements. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that we will always be able to meet our claims-paying obligations, and that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.

State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer’s operations.  These risks include those associated with losses that we may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on our general account assets, which include bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in market value of these investments. We may also experience liquidity risk if our general account assets cannot be readily converted into cash to meet obligations to our policyowners or to provide the collateral necessary to finance our business operations. 
 

How to Obtain More Information.  We encourage both existing and prospective policyowners to read and understand our financial statements.  We prepare our financial statements on a statutory basis.  Our financial statements, which are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance - as well as the financial statements of the separate account—are located in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).  The SAI is available at no charge by writing to our mailing address  - Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio, 4333 Edgewood Rd. NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52499 - or by calling us at (800) 851-9777, or by visiting our website www.westernreserve.com .  In addition, the SAI is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.  Our financial strength ratings, which reflect the opinions of leading independent rating agencies of WRL's ability to meet its obligations to its policy owners, are available on our website and the websites of these n ationally r ecognized s tatistical r atings o rganizations--A.M. Best Company (www.ambest.com), Moody's Investors Service (www.moodys.com) Standard & Poor's Rating Services (www.standardandpoors.com) and Fitch , Inc. (www.fitchratings.com).

The Separate Account

The separate account is a n investment account of Western Reserve, established under Ohio law.  We own the assets in the separate account, and we may use assets in the separate account to support other variable life insurance policies we issue.  The separate account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The separate account is divided into subaccounts, each of which invests in shares of a specific portfolio of a fund. These subaccounts buy and sell portfolio shares at net asset value without any sales charge. Any dividends and distributions from a portfolio are reinvested at net asset value in shares of that portfolio.

Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, a subaccount of the separate account reflect the subaccount's own investment experience and not the investment experience of our other assets. The separate account's assets may not be used to pay any of our liabilities other than those arising from the Policies and other variable life insurance policies we issue. If the separate account's assets exceed the required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our general account.

Changes to the Separate Account.  As permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to make certain changes to the structure and operation of the separate account, which may include :

·
Remove, combine, or add subaccounts and make the combined or new subaccounts available for allocation of net premiums.
·
Combine the separate account or any subaccounts with one or more different separate accounts or subaccounts and/or create new separate accounts.
·
Close certain subaccounts to allocations of new net premiums by current or new policyowners at any time in our discretion.
·
Transfer assets of the separate account or any subaccount which we determine to be associated with the class of policies to which the Policy belongs, to another separate account or subaccount.
·
Operate the separate account as a management company under the 1940 Act, or as any other form of investment company permitted by law.
·
Establish additional separate accounts or subaccounts to invest in new portfolios .
·
Manage the separate account at the direction of a committee.
·
Endorse the Policy, as permitted by law, to reflect changes to the separate account and subaccounts as may be required by applicable law.
·
Change the investment objective of a subaccount.
·
Substitute, add, or delete fund portfolios in which subaccounts currently invest net premiums, to include portfolios of newly designated funds. (Fund portfolios will not be added, deleted or substituted without prior approval of the SEC to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable laws.)
·
Fund additional classes of variable life insurance policies through the separate account.
·
Restrict or eliminate any voting privileges of owners or other persons who have voting privileges in connection with the operation of the separate account.

Some, but not all, of these future changes may be the result of changes in applicable laws or interpretation of the laws.  We will not make any such changes without receiving any necessary approval of the SEC and applicable state insurance departments.  We will notify you of any changes.  We reserve the right to make other structural and operational changes affecting the separate account.

In addition, the portfolios that sell their shares to the subaccounts may discontinue offering their shares to the subaccounts.
 
The Fixed Account

The fixed account is part of Western Reserve's general account. We use general account assets to support our insurance and annuity obligations other than those funded by the separate accounts. Subject to applicable law, Western Reserve has sole discretion over the investment of the fixed account's assets. Western Reserve bears the full investment risk for all amounts contributed to the fixed account. Please see the section above entitled “Risks of Managing General Account Assets.” Western Reserve guarantees that the amounts allocated to the fixed account will be credited interest daily at an annual net effective interest rate of at least 3.0%. We will determine any interest rate credited in excess of the guaranteed rate at our sole discretion.  We have no formula for determining fixed account interest rates in excess of the guaranteed rate or any duration for such rates.

Money you place in the fixed account will begin earning interest credited daily and compounded annually at the current interest rate in effect at the time it is allocated.   For Policies applied for on or after September 22, 200 8 , unless otherwise required by state law, we may restrict your allocations and transfers to the fixed account if the fixed account value, excluding the loan reserve, following the allocation or transfer would exceed $250,000.  (This restriction does not apply to any transfer to the fixed account necessary in the exercise of conversion rights.)  We may declare current interest rates from time to time. We may declare more than one interest rate for different money based upon the date of allocation or transfer to the fixed account. When we declare a current interest rate higher than the guaranteed rate on amounts allocated to the fixed account, we guarantee the higher rate on those amounts for at least one year (the "guarantee period") unless those amounts are transferred to the loan reserve. At the end of the guarantee period we may declare a new current interest rate on those amounts and any accrued interest thereon. We will guarantee this new current interest rate for another guarantee period. We credit interest greater than 3.0% during any guarantee period at our sole discretion. You assume the risk that the interest rate on the fixed account may decrease, although it will never be lower than a guaranteed minim um annual effective rate of 3%.

We allocate amounts from the fixed account for cash withdrawals, transfers to the subaccounts, or the monthly deductions charges on a first in, first out basis ("FIFO") for the purpose of crediting interest.

New Jersey: The fixed account is not available to you if  your Policy was applied for before September 22, 2008 and issued in the State of New Jersey . before January 1, 2009.   You may not direct or transfer premium payments or cash value to the fixed account.  The fixed account is available to you only in connection with Policy loans.
 
The fixed account has not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the fixed account.  Disclosures regarding the fixed account, however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in this prospectus.
 

The Portfolios

The separate account invests in shares of the portfolios of a fund. Each portfolio is an investment division of a fund, which is an open-end investment management company registered with the SEC. Such registration does not involve supervision of the management or investment practices or policies of the portfolios by the SEC.

Each portfolio's assets are held separate from the assets of the other portfolios, and each portfolio has investment objectives and policies that are different from those of the other portfolios.  Thus, each portfolio operates as a separate investment fund, and the income or loss of one portfolio has no effect on the investment performance of any other portfolio. Pending any required approval by a state insurance regulatory authority, certain subaccounts and corresponding portfolios may not be available to residents of some states.
 
Each portfolio’s investment objective(s) and policies are summarized below. There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its stated objective(s). Certain portfolios may have investment objectives and policies similar to other portfolios that are managed by the same investment adviser or sub-adviser. The investment results of the portfolios, however, may be higher or lower than those of such other portfolios. We do not guarantee or make any representation that the investment results of the portfolios will be comparable to any other portfolio, even those with the same investment adviser or manager.
 
 You can find more detailed information about the portfolios, including a description of risks, in the fund prospectuses. You may obtain a free copy of the fund prospectuses, by contacting us at our administrative office at 1-800-851-9777 or visiting our website at www.westernreserve.com. You should read the fund prospectuses carefully. Note: If you received a summary prospectus for any of the portfolios listed below, please follow the instructions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the full fund prospectus.

Selection of Underlying Portfolios
 
The underlying portfolios offered through this product are selected by Western Reserve, and Western Reserve may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the alignment of the investment objectives of an underlying portfolio with ou r hedging strategy, the strength of the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm.  Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying portfolio or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing, and support services, or whether affiliates of the portfolio can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the Policies.  (For additional information on these arrangements, see the section of this prospectus entitled “Revenue We Receive.”)  We review the portfolios periodically and may remove a portfolio, or limit its availability to new premiums and/or transfers of cash value if we determine that a portfolio no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from policyowners.  We have included the Series Trust portfolios at least in part because they are managed by TAM , our directly owned subsidiary.

You are responsible for choosing the portfolios, and the amounts allocated to each, that are appropriate for your own individual circumstances and your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance.  Because investment risk is borne by you, decisions regarding investment allocations should be carefully considered.

In making your investment selections, we encourage you to thoroughly investigate all of the information that is available to you regarding the portfolios including each fund's prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports.  Other sources such as newspapers and financial and other magazines provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a fund or portfolio.  After you select portfolios for your initial premium, you should monitor and periodically re-evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.

You bear the risk of any decline in your cash value resulting from the performance of the portfolios you have chosen.

We do not recommend or endorse any particular portfolio and we do not provide investment advice.


Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Portfolios

We do not guarantee that each portfolio will always be available for investment through the Policy. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to add new portfolios or portfolio classes, close existing portfolios or portfolio classes, or substitute portfolio shares that are held by any subaccount for shares of a different portfolio. New or substitute portfolios may have different fees and expenses and their availability may be limited to certain classes of purchasers. We will not add, delete or substitute any shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. We may also decide to purchase for the separate account securities from other portfolios. We reserve the right to transfer separate account assets to another separate account that we determine to be associated with the class of contracts to which the Policy belongs.

Your Right to Vote Portfolio Shares

Even though we are the legal owner of the portfolio shares held in the subaccounts, and have the right to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the portfolios, we will vote our shares only as policyowners instruct, as long as such action is required by law.

Before a vote of a portfolio's shareholders occurs, you will receive voting materials from us. We will ask you to instruct us on how to vote and to return your voting instructions to us in a timely manner. You will have the right to instruct us on the number of portfolio shares that corresponds to the amount of cash value you have in that portfolio (as of a date set by the portfolio).

If we do not receive voting instructions on time from some policyowners, we will vote those shares in the same proportion as the timely voting instructions we receive. Therefore, because of proportional voting, a small number of policyowners may control the outcome of a vote.  Should federal securities laws, regulations and interpretations change, we may elect to vote portfolio shares in our own right. If required by state insurance officials, or if permitted under federal regulation, we may disregard certain owner voting instructions. If we ever disregard voting instructions, we will send you a summary in the next annual report to policyowners advising you of the action and the reasons we took such action.

Charges and Deductions         

This section describes the charges and deductions that we make under the Policy in consideration for: (1) the services and benefits we provide; (2) the costs and expenses we incur; and (3) the risks we assume.  The fees and charges deducted under the Policy may result in a profit to us.

Services and benefits we provide under the Policy:
·
The death benefit, cash and loan benefits.
·
Investment options, including premium allocations.
 
·
Administration of elective options.
 
·
The distribution of reports to owners.
     
Costs and expenses we incur:
·
Costs associated with processing and underwriting applications.
 
·
Expenses of issuing and administering the Policy (including any Policy riders).
 
·
Overhead and other expenses for providing services and benefits and sales and marketing expenses, including compensation paid in connection with the sale of the Policies.
 
·
Other costs of doing business, such as collecting premiums, maintaining records, processing claims, effecting transactions, and paying federal, state and local premium and other taxes and fees.
     
Risks we assume:
·
That the charges we may deduct may be insufficient to meet our actual claims because insureds die sooner than we estimate.
 
·
That the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Policies may exceed the charges we are allowed to deduct.

Some or all of the charges we deduct are used to pay aggregate Policy costs and expenses we incur in providing the services and benefits under the Policy and assuming the risks associated with the Policy.

Premium Expense Charge

Before we allocate the net premium payments that you make, we will deduct the following charge:

The premium expense charge is equal to:
·
For All Policies Except those Issued to Residents of Puerto Rico First 10 Policy years:  The current charge is equal to 6.0% of premiums paid on Policies with a specified amount up to $249,999; 4.0% on Policies with a specified amount from $250,000 - $499,999.
 
·
Policy Years 11+:  2.5% of premiums paid on Policies with a specified amount up to $499,999.
 
·
There is no premium expense charge for Policies with a specified amount of $500,000 or higher, except for Puerto Rico, as noted below.
   
 
 
 
·
For Policies issued to residents of Puerto Rico ( for Policies applied for on or after September 22, 2008)
 First 10 Policy years: The current charge is equal to 10.0% of premiums paid on Policies with a specified amount up to $249,999; 8.0% on Policies with a specified amount from $250,000 - $499,999; and 4.0% on Policies with a specified amount of $500,000 or more. We guarantee this charge will not exceed 12.0%, 10.0% and 6.0%, respectively for each such category.
 
·
Policy years 11+: The current charge is equal to 6.5% of premiums paid on Policies with a specified amount up to $499,999; and 4.0% on Policies with a specified amount of $500,000 or more. We guarantee this charge will not exceed 8.5% and 6.0%, respectively, for each such category.

NOTE: Certain events (such as increases or decreases in the specified amount, a change in death benefit option, or a cash withdrawal if you choose the Option A death benefit) may affect the specified amount in force.  Premium expense charges will be based on the specified amount in force for the Policy at the time we receive the premium.

Some or all of the premium expense charges we deduct are used to pay the aggregate p olicy costs and expenses we incur, including distribution costs and/or state premium taxes.  Although state premium tax rates imposed on us vary from state to state, the premium expense charge deducted will not vary with the state of residence of the policyowner, except for Puerto Rico, as noted above.

Premium collection charge:
·
For Policies applied for before September 22, 2008 and issued before January 1, 2009, on direct pay notice, this charge equals $3.00 per premium payment.  We currently do not impose this charge but reserve the right to do so in the future.
 
·
This charge only applies to Policies on direct pay notice.
 
·
We will not increase this charge.

Monthly Deductions

We take the monthly deductions from the cash value on the Policy date and on each Monthiversary.  We deduct this charge on a pro rata basis from all accounts (i.e., in the same proportion that the value in each subaccount and the fixed account bears to the total cash value on the Monthiversary).

Because portions of the monthly deductions (such as cost of insurance) can vary monthly, the monthly deductions will also vary.


Each monthly deduction consists of :
·
The monthly Policy charge; plus
 
·
The monthly cost of insurance charge for the Policy (including any surcharge associated with flat or table substandard ratings); plus
 
·
The monthly charge for any benefits provided by riders attached to the Policy; plus
 
·
The decrease charge (if applicable) incurred as a result of a decrease in the specified amount.
   
 
Monthly Policy Charge (for Policies applied for on or after September 22, 2008):
 
·
This charge currently equals $10 each Policy month.  After the first Policy year, we may increase this charge.
 
·
We guarantee this charge will never be more than $12 per month.
     
   
 
Monthly Policy Charge (for Policies applied for before September 22, 2008 and issued before January 1, 2009):
   
 
·
This charge currently equals $5.00 each Policy month.  After the first Policy year, we may increase this charge.
 
·
We guarantee this charge will never be more than $7.50 per month.
     
   
 
Cost of Insurance Charge:
   
 
·
We deduct this charge each month. It varies each month and is determined as follows:
   
1.
Divide the death benefit on the Monthiversary by 1.0024663 (this factor reduces the net amount at risk, for purposes of computing the cost of insurance, by taking into account assumed monthly earnings at an annual rate of 3.0%);
   
2.
Subtract the cash value on the Monthiversary after it has been allocated among the segments of specified amount in force in the following order: first, initial specified amount; then, each increase in specified amount starting with the oldest increase; then the next oldest, successively, until all cash value has been allocated (the resulting amounts are the net amount at risk for each segment of specified amount);
   
3.
Multiply each segment of net amount at risk provided under 2. (above) by the appropriate monthly cost of insurance rate for that segment; and add the results together.
 
·
Your monthly current cost of insurance rate depends, in part, on your specified amount band.  The specified amount bands available are:
   
>
Band 1: $50,000 - $249,999
   
>
Band 2: $250,000 - $499,999
   
>
Band 3: $500,000 - $999,999
   
>
Band 4: $1,000,000 and over
 
·
Generally, the higher the specified amount band you choose, the lower the current cost of insurance rates.
 
·
We determine your specified amount band by referring to the specified amount in force for the Base Policy (that is, the initial specified amount on the Policy date, plus any increases, and minus any decreases).  Riders are not included in determining the Policy’s specified amount band.
     
 
Optional Insurance Riders:
 
 
·
The monthly deductions will include charges for any optional insurance benefits you add to your Policy by rider. Please refer to the section below entitled “Rider Charges” for a description of the rider charges.


 
To determine the monthly cost of insurance rates, we refer to a schedule of current cost of insurance rates and consider a number of factors including, but not limited to: the insured's issue age on the Policy date; issue age at the time of any increase in specified amount; specified amount band; gender; underwriting class; and the length of time from the Policy date or from the date of any increase in specified amount.  The factors that affect the net amount at risk for each segment of specified amount include: the investment performance of the portfolios in which you invest; payment of premiums; the fees and charges deducted under the Policy; the death benefit option you chose; as well as any Policy transactions (such as loans, cash withdrawals, transfers, and changes in specified amount). Monthly cost of insurance rates may change from time to time and different monthly cost of insurance rates may apply to increases in the specified amount following the Policy date and any additional death benefit.   The actual monthly cost of insurance rates are primarily based on our expectations as to future mortality experience and expenses.  The actual rates we charge will never be greater than the Table of Guaranteed Maximum Life Insurance Rates stated in your Policy. For Policies applied for on or after September 22, 2008, these guaranteed rates are based on the 2001 C.S.O. Mortality Tables and the insured’s attained age, gender, and underwriting class.  For Policies applied for before September 22, 2008 and issued before January 1, 2009, these guaranteed rates are based on the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Tobacco and Non-Tobacco Mortality Tables (“1980 C.S.O. Tables”) and the insured's attained age, gender, and underwriting class.

If you increase the specified amount, different monthly cost of insurance rates may apply to that segment of specified amount, based on factors such as the insured’s age and underwriting class at the time of the increase, gender, and the length of time since the increase.  Increases in specified amount may move the Policy into a higher specified amount band, which may result in a decrease in the rates for the cost of insurance charge and possibly the premium expense charges because premium expense charges are based on the specified amount of the Base policy at the time the premium is received.

Decreases in specified amount may cause the Policy to drop into a lower band of specified amount, and may result in an increase in cost of insurance and premium expense charges.  Decreases in specified amount will be applied on a last-in, first-out basis to the specified amount in force, and will first reduce the specified amount provided by the most recent increase in specified amount in force, then reduce the next most recent increases, successively, and  thereafter reduce the initial specified amount.

The underwriting class of the insured will affect the cost of insurance rates. In determining underwriting classifications, we apply certain criteria that are based on an assessment of the insured’s life expectancy. We currently place insureds into preferred and standard classes.  We also place insureds into substandard classes with extra ratings, which reflect higher mortality risks, and will result in higher cost of insurance rates.  Examples of reasons an insured may be placed into an extra risk factor underwriting class include, but are not limited to, medical history, avocation, occupation, driving record, or planned future travel (where permitted by state law).

We may issue certain Policies on a simplified, guaranteed issue or expedited basis. Cost of insurance rates charged for any Policies issued on a simplified guaranteed or expedited basis may cause healthy individuals to pay higher cost of insurance rates than they would pay under a substantially similar Policy that we offer using different underwriting criteria.

The cost of insurance charge for any optional insurance rider, and for any increase in rider specified amount, is calculated in the same manner used to determine the Base Policy’s cost of insurance charges. Generally, the current cost of insurance rates for the optional riders are lower than the current cost of insurance rates on the Policy without riders, except that the current rates are not guaranteed for any amount of time under the riders.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

We deduct a daily charge from each subaccount that, together with other fees and charges, compensates us for services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed. This charge is a maximum of:
 
For Policies Applied for On or After September 22, 2008:
 
· 
The value in each subaccount ; multiplied by
    ·
The daily pro rata portion of the annual mortality and expense risk charge rate of 1.50%.

The annual rate for the mortality and expense risk charge is equal to 1.50% of the average daily net assets of each subaccount. We may reduce this charge to 0.75% after the first 15 Policy years, but we do not guarantee that we will do so, and we reserve the right to maintain this charge at the 1.50% level after the 15th Policy year.

For Policies Applied for Before September 22, 2008 and Issued Before January 1, 2009:
 
·
Your Policy's cash value in each subaccount; multiplied by
·
The daily pro rata portion of the annual mortality and expense risk charge rate of 0.90%.

The annual rate for the mortality and expense risk charge is equal to 0.90% of the average daily net assets of each subaccount. We guarantee to reduce this charge to 0.60% after the first 15 Policy years.  We may reduce this charge to 0.30% in the 16th Policy year, but we do not guarantee that we will do so, and we reserve the right to maintain this charge at the 0.60% level (annually) after the 15th Policy year.
 
If this charge, combined with other Policy fees and charges, does not cover our total actual costs for services rendered and expenses incurred, we absorb the loss. Conversely, if these fees and charges more than cover actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from these charges.

Surrender Charge

You may surrender your Policy for its cash surrender value at any time upon written request (in good order). If you choose to surrender your Policy, the Policy and all attached riders will terminate.
 
If you surrender your Policy completely during the first 15 years (or during the 15 year period following an increase in specified amount), we deduct a surrender charge from your cash value and pay the remaining cash value (less any outstanding loan amount) to you. The surrender charge helps us recover distribution expenses that we incur in connection with the Policy, including sales commissions paid to selling firms and printing and advertising costs, as well as aggregate Policy expenses.

The surrender charge is a charge for each $1,000 of the initial specified amount of your Policy and of each increase in specified amount. The surrender charge that will apply on a full surrender of the Policy is the total of the surrender charge calculated for the initial specified amount, and the surrender charges calculated for each increase in specified amount, unless there has been a reduction in specified amount for which a decrease charge was applied.
 
The initial specified amount has a 15 year surrender charge period starting on the Policy date and surrender charges that are based upon the insured's issue age, gender and underwriting class on the Policy date. Each increase in specified amount has its own 15 year surrender charge period and surrender charges that are based upon the insured's issue age, gender and underwriting class at the time of the increase.

The formula we use to compute the surrender charge reduces that charge at older ages in compliance with state laws. There is no surrender charge if you wait until the end of the 15th Policy year to surrender your Policy and you have not increased your specified amount during the most recent 15 Policy years.

Decreases in specified amount will be applied to the specified amount in force on a last-in, first-out basis, and will first reduce the surrender charge on the most recent increase in specified amount in force, then, if still applicable, reduce the surrender charge on the next most recent increases, successively, and then reduce the surrender charge on the initial specified amount.
 
Example:
January 1, 2001                                                                Policy issued for $300,000
January 1, 2004                                                                Policy increased by $200,000
January 1, 2005                                                                Policy decreased by $100,000
 
If the surrender charge on January 1, 2005 (before the decrease) is:
 
Coverage Layer                                                                Surrender Charge
 
$300,000                                                                $4,656
$200,000                                                                $3,624
 
When t he $200,000 layer is reduced to $100,000 on January 1, 2005 , a surrender charge of $1,812 is applied.
 
100
200           x           $3,624                      =           $1,812

The surrender charge may be significant. You should evaluate this charge carefully before you consider a surrender. Under some circumstances the level of surrender charges might result in no net surrender value available if you surrender your Policy in the early Policy years.  This will depend on a number of factors, but is more likely if:

·
You pay premiums equal to or not much higher than the minimum monthly guarantee premium shown in your Policy. and/or
·
Investment performance is low.

In addition, surrender charges that apply for 15 years after any increase in specified amount will likely significantly reduce your net surrender value.

The surrender charge for each layer of specified amount is calculated as:
· 
The surrender charge per $1,000 of specified amount in the segment (varies by issue age, gender and underwriting class on the Policy date or date of specified amount increase) multiplied by
 
· 
The surrender charge factor.

The surrender charge per thousand is calculated separately for initial specified amount and for each increase in specified amount, using the rates found in Appendix A-1 (for Policies applied for on or after September 22, 2008) and Appendix A-2 (for Policies applied for before September 22, 2008 and issued before January 1, 2009).

The surrender charge factor is also determined separately for the initial specified amount and for each increase in specified amount in force. The surrender charge factor varies by insured's issue age (on the Policy date or date of specified amount increase) and number of years since the Policy date or date of specified amount increase. The surrender charge factor will be 1.00 for the first Policy year and then decrease each Policy year until it reaches zero at the end of the 15th Policy year after the Policy date (or the date of any specified amount increase).  In no event are the surrender charge factors any greater than those shown in the table below. We generally determine the surrender charge factor from the Policy date or date of specified amount increase to the surrender date, regardless of whether there were any prior lapses and reinstatements. Please see “Surrender Charge Factors” in Appendices A-1-a and A-2-a for surrender charge factors.
 
Decrease Charge

If you decrease the specified amount during the first 15 Policy years   or during the 15 year period following an increase in specified amount, we will deduct a decrease charge from your cash value. Decreases in specified amount will be applied on a last-in, first-out basis to the specified amount in force. The decrease charge will first be calculated based on the current surrender charge applicable to the most recent increase in specified amount still in force. If the amount of the decrease in specified amount is greater than the most recent increase in specified amount, then the charge will also be calculated based on the surrender charges applicable to the next most recent increases, successively, and then will also be calculated based on any remaining surrender charge on the initial specified amount, up to the amount of the requested decrease.

The decrease charge is equal to:
·
The surrender charge as of the date of the decrease applicable to that portion of the segment(s) of the specified amount that is/are decreased. See "Surrender Charge" above.

We will not deduct the decrease charge from the cash value when a specified amount decrease results from:
·
A change in the death benefit option. or
·
A cash withdrawal (when you select death benefit Option A).

    If a decrease charge is deducted because of a decrease in specified amount, any future decrease charges incurred during the surrender charge period will be based on the reduced specified amount.

We will determine the decrease charge using the above formula, regardless of whether your Policy has lapsed and been reinstated, or you have previously decreased your specified amount. We will not allow a decrease in specified amount if the decrease charge will cause the Policy to go into a grace period. A decrease in specified amount will generally decrease the insurance protection of the Policy.
Transfer Charge
 
The first 12 transfers each Policy year are free of charge For purposes of assessing the transfer charge, all transfers made in one day, regardless of the number of subaccounts affected by the transfer, is considered a single transfer. We deduct the transfer charge from the amount being transferred. . Except as listed below, we may charge $25 for each additional transfer.  We will not increase this charge.
 
· 
Transfers resulting from loans, the exercise of conversion rights, or the reallocation of cash value immediately after the reallocation date, currently are not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing this charge.
· 
Transfers via the Internet are not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing this charge.
· 
Transfers among the ProFunds and/or the Access Trust subaccounts are not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing this charge.
· 
Transfers under dollar cost averaging and asset rebalancing currently are not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing this charge.
 
Loan Interest Rate Charged
 
We currently charge you an effective annual interest rate on a Policy loan of 3.75% (4.0% maximum guaranteed) on each Policy anniversary.  We will also credit the amount in the loan reserve account with an effective annual interest rate of 3.0%.  After offsetting the 3.0% interest we credit, the net cost of loans currently is 0.75% annually (1.0% maximum guaranteed).  After the 10th Policy year, we will apply preferred loan charged rates on an amount equal to the cash value minus total premiums paid (less any cash withdrawals) and minus any outstanding loan amount including accrued loan interest.  The current preferred loan effective annual interest rate charged is 3.00% and is not guaranteed.
 
Change in Net Premium Allocation Charge
 
We currently do not charge you if you change your net premium allocation. However, in the future we may decide to charge you $25 if you make more than one change per Policy year quarter. We will notify you if we decide to impose this charge.
 
Cash Withdrawal Charge
 
 
After the first Policy year, you may take one cash withdrawal per Policy year if your surrender value is sufficient to cover the amount of the withdrawal and the associated cash withdrawal charge.  Cash withdrawals from your Policy are subject to the following:
 
·
When you take a cash withdrawal, we charge a processing fee of $25 or 2% of the amount you withdraw, whichever is less.
·
We deduct this amount from the withdrawal, and we pay you the balance.
·
We will not increase this charge.
 
Taxes
 
We currently do not make any deductions for taxes from the separate account. We may do so in the future to the extent that such taxes are imposed by federal or state agencies.

Rider Charges
 
The following charges apply if you elect any of the riders available under your Policy as noted below (see “Supplemental Benefits (Riders)”):

    ·
Living Benefit Rider.  We do not assess an administrative charge for this rider, however, if the rider is exercised, we reduce the single sum benefit by a discount factor to compensate us for income lost due to the early payment of the death benefit.  For a complete description of the Living Benefit Rider, please refer to the section entitled “Living Benefit Rider (an Accelerated Death Benefit)” in this prospectus.
    ·
Primary Insured Rider (“PIR”) and Primary Insured Rider Plus (“PIR Plus”). We assess a charge based on the insured’s issue age, gender and underwriting class ,   the   Policy year and the rider face amount. C harges generally will increase each year with the age of the insured. These charges will vary depending on whether the 1980 C.S.O. Mortality Tables or the 2001 C.S.O. Mortality Tables are applicable to your Policy, which depends upon the application and/or issue date of your Policy.
    ·
Other Insured Rider.  We assess a charge based on each other insured’s issue age, gender and underwriting class, the Policy year , and the rider face amount. Charges generally will increase each year with the age of the insured. These charges will vary depending on whether the 1980 C.S.O. Mortality Tables or the 2001 C.S.O. Mortality Tables are applicable to your Policy, which depends upon the application and/or issue date of your Policy.
    ·
Children’s Insurance Rider.  We assess a charge based on the rider face amount, regardless of the number of children insured.
    ·
Accidental Death Benefit Rider.  We assess a charge based on the primary insured’s attained age and rider specified amount.   C harges generally will increase each year with the age of the insured.
    ·
Disability Waiver Rider. We assess a rider charge based on the primary insured’s issue age, gender and net amount at risk for the Policy, as well as a charge based on those riders that would be eligible to have monthly deductions waived.
    ·
Disability Waiver and Income Rider. The charge for this rider is based on the primary insured’s issue age, gender and the amount of monthly waiver of premium benefit that would be paid in the event of total disability, as defined in the rider.


Portfolio Expenses

The portfolios deduct management fees and expenses from the amounts you have invested in the portfolios. These fees and expenses reduce the value of your portfolio shares.  Some portfolios also deduct 12b-1 fees from portfolio assets. See the fund prospectuses for more detailed information about the portfolios.

Revenue We Receive
 
We (and our affiliates) may directly or indirectly receive payments from the portfolios, their advisers, sub-advisers, distributors or affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other services we (and our affiliates) provide and expenses we incur.  We (and/or our affiliates) generally receive three types of payments:

Rule 12b-1 Fees.  We and/or our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”), who is the principal underwriter for the Policies , indirectly receive 12b-1 fees from the funds available as investment choices under our variable insurance products.  Any 12b-1 fees received by TCI that are attributable to our variable insurance products are then credited to us.  These fees range from 0.00% to 0.35% of the average daily assets of the certain underlying fund portfolios attributable to the Policies and to certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue.

Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees (“Service Fees”).  The investment adviser, sub-adviser, administrators, and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof) of the portfolios may make payments to us and/or our affiliates, including TCI.  These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or sub-adviser realizes on the advisory fee deducted from portfolio assets.   Policyowners, indirectly through their investment in the portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees. (See the prospectuses for the funds for more information.) The amount of this compensation is generally based on a percentage of the assets of the particular portfolios attributable to the Policy and to certain other variable insurance products that our affiliates and we issue. These percentages differ and may be significant.  Some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) pay us more than others.

The chart below provides the maximum combined percentages of 12b-1 fees and Service Fees that we anticipate will be paid to us on an annual basis:

*Payments are based on a percentage of the average assets of each fund portfolio owned by the subaccounts that are available under the Policy and under certain other variable insurance products offered by our affiliates and us.  We and TCI may continue to receive 12b-1 fees and administrative fees on subaccounts that are closed to new investments, depending on the terms of the agreements supporting those payments and on the services provided.
**Because the Transamerica Series Trust is managed by an affiliate, there are additional benefits to us and our affiliates for amounts you allocate to the Transamerica Series Trust portfolios, in terms of our and our affiliates’ overall profitability.  During 201 2 we received $ 10,774,890.90 million in benefits from TAM .
***We receive this percentage once $100 million in fund shares are held by the subaccounts of Western Reserve and its affiliates.

Other payments.  We and our affiliates, including TCI and Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc. (“TFA”) , also directly or indirectly receive additional amounts or different percentages of assets under management from certain advisers and sub-advisers to the portfolios (or their affiliates) with regard to variable insurance products or mutual funds that are issued or managed by us and our affiliates. These payments may be derived in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or sub-adviser receives from the advisory fee deducted from portfolio assets.  Policyowners, through their indirect investment in the portfolios, bear the costs of those advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the funds for more information ) .  Certain advisers and sub-advisers of the underlying portfolios (or their affiliates) (1) may pay TCI or its affiliates amounts up to $75,000 per year to participate in a “preferred sponsor” program that provides such advisers and sub-advisers with access to TCI’s wholesalers at TCI’s national and regional sales conferences that are attended by TCI’s wholesalers , (2) may pay TFA varying amounts to obtain access to TFA’s wholesaling and selling representatives , (3) may provide us and/or certain affiliates and/or selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other compensation as an incentive to market the portfolios and to assist with their promotional efforts and (4) may reimburse our affiliated selling firms for exhibit booths and other items at national conferences of selling representatives. The amounts may be significant and these arrangements provide the adviser or sub-adviser (or other affiliates) with increased access to us and to our affiliates involved in the distribution of the Policy.

For the calendar year ended December 31, 2012, TCI received total revenue sharing payments in the amount of $4,254,521.64 from the following fund managers and/or sub-advisers to participate in TCI’s events: AEGON USA Investment Management, Inc., AllianceBernstein Investments, American Funds, Black Rock Investment Management, Fidelity Investments, Franklin Templeton Investments, GE Asset Management, Hanlon Investment Management Inc., ING Clarion Real Estate Securities (CBRE), Invesco AIM, Janus Capital, Jennison Associates, Legg Mason Capital Management, Logan Circle Investment Partners, Madison Asset Management, LLC, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Natixis Global Asset Management, OppenheimerFunds, Pacific Investment Management Company,  and Wellington Management Company.

Please Note: Some of the aforementioned managers and/or sub-advisers may not be associated with underlying fund portfolios currently available in this product.
 
Proceeds from certain of these payments by the funds, the advisers, the sub-advisers and/or their affiliates may be profit to us, and may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses (i) that we and our affiliates incur in promoting, issuing, marketing and administering the Policies; and (ii) that we incur, in our role as intermediary, in promoting, marketing and administering the fund portfolios.

For further details about the compensation payments we make in connection with the sale of the Policies, see "Sale of the Policies" in this prospectus.

The Policy            

Depending on the state of issue, your Policy may be an individual Policy or a certificate issued under a group policy.  The Policy is subject to the insurance laws and regulations of each state or jurisdiction in which it is available for distribution.  There may be differences between the Policy issued and the general Policy description contained in this prospectus because of requirements of the state where your Policy is issued.  Some of the state specific differences are included in the prospectus, but this prospectus does not include references to all state specific differences.  All state specific Policy features will be described in your Policy.
Ownership Rights

The Policy belongs to the owner named in the application. The owner may exercise all of the rights and options described in the Policy. If the owner dies before the insured and no contingent owner is named, then ownership of the Policy will pass to the owner's estate.

The principal rights an owner may exercise are:
·
To designate or change beneficiaries before the death of the insured.
·
To receive amounts payable before the death of the insured.
·
To assign the Policy . ( I f you assign the Policy, your rights and the rights of anyone who is to receive payment under the Policy are subject to the terms of that assignment . )
·
To change the owner of the Policy.
·
To change the specified amount of the Policy.

 
N o designation or change in designation of an owner will take effect unless we receive a transfer of ownership form . The request will take effect the date we receive it, in good order, at our mailing address or by fax at our administrative office (1-727-299-1620) , subject to payment or other actions taken by us before it was received.

Modifying the Policy

Any modifications or waiver of any rights or requirements under the Policy must be in writing, in good order, and signed by our president or secretary.  No registered representative may bind us by making any promise not contained in the Policy.

Upon notice to you, we may modify the Policy:

    ·
To make the Policy or the separate account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which we are subject; or
    ·
To assure continued qualification of the Policy as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code or to meet applicable requirements of other federal or state laws relating to variable life policies; or
    ·
To reflect a change in the operation of the separate account; or
    ·
To provide additional subaccounts and/or fixed account options.

Purchasing a Policy

To purchase a Policy, you must submit a completed application, in good order, and an initial premium to us through any licensed life insurance agent who is also a registered representative of a broker-dealer having a selling agreement with TCI, the principal underwriter for the Policy, and us.

There may be delays in our receipt and processing of applications and premium payments that are outside of our control – for example, because of the failure of a selling broker-dealer or registered representative to promptly forward the application to us at our mailing address, or because of delays in determining whether the Policy is suitable for you.  Any such delays will affect when your Policy can be issued.

You select the specified amount of insurance coverage for your Policy within the following limits. Our current minimum specified amount for a Policy is generally $50,000.  We currently charge lower cost of insurance rates for Policies with specified amounts in higher bands of coverage.  We offer the following specified amount bands of coverage:

Ø
B and 1: $50,000 - $249,999
     Ø
  B and 2: $250,000 - $499,999
     Ø
  B and 3: $500,000 - $999,999
     Ø
  B and 4: $1,000,000 and over

We will generally only issue a Policy to you if you provide sufficient evidence that the insured meets our insurability standards. Your application is subject to our underwriting rules, and we may reject any application for any reason permitted by law. We will not issue a Policy to you if the insured is over age 85. The insured must be insurable and acceptable to us under our underwriting rules on the later of:

     · 
The date of your application; or
     · 
The date the insured completes all of the medical tests and examinations that we require.

Tax-Free Section 1035 Exchanges

You can generally exchange one life insurance policy for another policy covering the same insured in a "tax-free exchange" under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. Before making an exchange, you should compare both life insurance policies carefully. Remember that if you exchange another life insurance policy for the one described in this prospectus, you might have to pay a surrender charge on your old policy, other charges may be higher (or lower), and the benefits may be different. If the exchange does not qualify for Section 1035 treatment, or if your current policy is subject to a policy loan, you may also have to pay federal income tax on the exchange. You should not exchange another life insurance policy for this one unless you determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange is in your best interest and not just better for the person selling you the Policy . ( T hat person will generally earn a commission if you buy the Policy through an exchange or otherwise . )
When Insurance Coverage Takes Effect

Except as provided in the Conditional Receipt, if issued, i nsurance coverage under the Policy will not take effect until after all of the following conditions have been met: (1) the first full premium must be received by the Company at our mailing address; (2) during the lifetime of every proposed insured, the proposed owner must have personally received and accepted the Policy which was applied for and all answers on the application must be true and correct on the date such Policy is received and accepted; and (3) on the date of the later of either (1) or (2) above, all of the statements and answers given in the application must be true and complete, and there must have been no change in the insurability of any proposed insured.

Conditional Insurance Coverage. If you pay the full initial premium and have met all of the requirements listed in the conditional receipt attached to the application, and we deliver the C onditional R eceipt to you, the insured may have conditional insurance coverage under the terms of the conditional receipt. The conditional insurance coverage may vary by state and/or underwriting standards. Because we do not accept initial premiums in advance for Policies with a specified amount in excess of $1,000,000, we do not offer conditional insurance coverage for those Policies . Conditional insurance coverage is void if the check or draft you gave us to pay the initial premium is not honored when we first present it for payment.

The aggregate amount of conditional insurance coverage, if any, is the lesser of:
    ·
The amounts applied for under all conditional receipts issued by us; or
 
    ·
$500,000 of life insurance.
 
Subject to the conditions and limitations of the conditional receipt, conditional insurance under the terms of the Policy applied for may become effective as of the later of:
    ·
 
 
 
The date of application; or
    ·
The date of the last medical examination, test, and other screenings required by us, if any (the “Effective
 
Date”).  Such conditional insurance will take effect as of the Effective Date, as long as all of the following
   
requirements are met:
   
1.
The person proposed to be insured is found to have been insurable as of the Effective Date, exactly as applied for in accordance with our underwriting rules and standards, without any modifications as to plan, amount, or premium rate.
   
2.
As of the Effective Date, all statements and answers given in the application must be true.
   
3.
The payment made with the application must not be less than the full initial premium for the mode of payment chosen in the application and must be received at our mailing address within the lifetime of the proposed insured.
   
4.
All medical examinations, tests, and other screenings required of the proposed insured by us are completed and the results received at our mailing address within 60 days of the date the application was signed.

Any conditional life insurance coverage terminates on the earliest of:
a.
60 days from the date the application was signed;
 
b.
The date we either mail notice to the applicant of the rejection of the application and/or mail a refund of any amounts paid with the application;
 
c.

>
All blanks in the conditional receipt are completed.
   
>
The receipt is signed by an authorized Company representative.
     
Other limitations:
    ·
There is no conditional receipt coverage for riders or any additional benefits, if any, for which you may have applied.
 
    ·
If one or more of the receipt’s conditions have not been met exactly, or if a proposed insured dies by suicide, we will not be liable except to return any payment made with the application.
 
    ·
If we do not approve and accept the application within 60 days of the date you signed the application, the application will be deemed to be rejected by us and there will be no conditional insurance coverage.  In that case, Western Reserve’s liability will be limited to returning any payment(s) you have made upon return of this receipt to us.
 
In addition to Conditional Receipt situations, coverage may begin earlier in 1035 exchange situations as well as provided in the Absolute Assignment to Effect Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 Exchange and Rollover form.  As provided in that form, the insurance coverage shall take effect as of the result of the assignment, and before delivery of the Policy, at the time (and not before) the following conditions have been met, and the Company may charge for coverage from the date that any such coverage takes effect:
 
·   
The Policy has been approved for issue and, if approved other than as applied for, accepted in writing by the proposed owner and either
 
1.   
  the existing issuer has accepted the surrender of the assigned Contract but only if the surrender proceeds thereafter received by the Company are themselves    sufficient to place the Policy in force, or
 
2.   
  if, in addition to the assignment of the Contract from the existing issuer, premium is paid during the proposed insured’s lifetime (either with the application for the Policy or thereafter if permitted by the Company in writing) but only if such premium together with any surrender proceeds thereafter received, are sufficient to place the Policy in force.
 

Full Insurance Coverage and Allocation of Initial Premium. Once we determine that the insured meets our underwriting requirements and you have paid the initial premium, the Policy will be issued and full insurance coverage will begin and we will begin to take the monthly deductions from your net premium. This date is the Policy date (or the record date, if Policy is backdated).  Any premium payments we receive before the Policy date (record date, if applicable) will be held in a non-interest bearing suspense account.  On the Policy date (or on the record date if your Policy is backdated), the entire amount in the non-interest bearing suspense account will be allocated as follows: (i) to the subaccounts and/or the fixed account as you specified in your application, if your state does not require a full refund of initial premium; or (ii) to the reallocation account, if your state requires us to return your initial premium in the event you exercise your free-look right. (While held in the reallocation account, premium(s) will be credited with interest at the current fixed rate until the reallocation date when they will be allocated to the subaccounts and/or the fixed account as you specified in your application.)  Please note: Your premiums are credited on the record, not the backdated Policy date.

On any day we credit net premiums or transfer cash value to a subaccount, we will convert the dollar amount of the net premium (or transfer) into subaccount units at the unit value for that subaccount, determined at the end of the day on which we receive the premium or transaction request. We will credit amounts to the subaccounts only on a valuation date, that is, on a date the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading.

Backdating a Policy

If you request, we may backdate a Policy by assigning a Policy date earlier than the date the Policy full insurance coverage begins. However, in no event will we backdate a Policy earlier than the earliest date allowed by state law or by our underwriting rules. Your request must be in writing and, if we approve the request, will amend your application. Your premiums, however, will be credited on the date the Policy is issued, not the backdated Policy date.

Cost of insurance charges are based in part on the age of the insured on the Policy date or on the date of any increase in specified amount.  Generally, cost of insurance charges are lower at a younger age. We will deduct the monthly deductions, including cost of insurance charges, for the period that the Policy is backdated. This means that while the monthly deductions may be lower than what would have been charged had we not backdated the Policy, you will be paying for insurance during a period when the Policy was not in force.
           

Premiums            

Allocating Premiums
 
You must instruct us on how to allocate your net premium among the subaccounts and the fixed account. The fixed account may not be available in all states as an investment option into which you can direct net premiums or transfer cash value. You must follow these guidelines:
       ·
Allocation percentages must be in whole numbers.
       ·
If you select dollar cost averaging, we may require you to have a minimum of $5,000 in each subaccount from which we will make transfers, and you may be required to transfer at least a total of $100 monthly.
       ·
If you select asset rebalancing, the cash value of your Policy (if an existing Policy) or your minimum initial premium (if a new Policy) must be at least $5,000.
       ·
Unless otherwise required by state law, we may restrict allocations and transfers to the fixed account under Policies applied for on or after September 22, 2008 , if the fixed account value (excluding amounts in the loan reserve account) following the allocation or transfer would exceed $250,000.  (This restriction does not apply to any transfer to the fixed account necessary in the exercise of conversion rights.)

 
Currently, you may change the allocation instructions for additional premium payments without charge at any time by writing us at our mailing address or calling us at our administrative office at 1-800-851-9777, Monday - Friday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time . You may also change allocation instructions through our website at www.westernreserve.com.
 
Please note: Certain subaccounts have similar names.  When providing your allocation instructions, please state or write the full name of the subaccount that you select for your allocation to ensure that those allocation instructions are in good order. The change will be effective as of the valuation date on which we receive the change, in good order, at our mailing address or our administrative office. Upon instructions from you, the registered representative or agent of record for your Policy may also change your allocation instructions for you. The minimum amount you can allocate to a particular subaccount is 1.0% of a net premium payment. We reserve the right to limit the number of premium allocation changes or to charge $25 for each change in excess of one per Policy year quarter .

Whenever you direct money into a subaccount, we will credit your Policy with the number of units for that subaccount that can be bought for the dollar payment. Premium payments received at our mailing address, or at the address on your billing coupon (for payments made by check), or at our administrative office (for payments made by wire transfer and through electronic credit and debit transactions) before the NYSE closes, are priced using the unit value determined at the closing of that regular business session of the NYSE (usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time ). If we receive a premium payment after the NYSE closes or on a day that the NYSE is closed for trading, we will process the order using the subaccount unit value determined at the close of the next regular session of the NYSE. We will credit amounts to the subaccounts only on a valuation date, that is, on a date the NYSE is open for trading.  Your cash value will vary with the investment experience of the subaccounts in which you invest. You bear the investment risk for amounts you allocate to the subaccounts.

You should periodically review how your cash value is allocated among the subaccounts and the fixed account because market conditions and your overall financial objectives may change.

Reallocation Account. If your state requires us to return your initial premium in the event you exercise your free-look right, we will allocate the initial net premium on the Policy date (or the record date if your Policy is backdated) to the reallocation account (or as otherwise mandated by state law) as shown on your Policy schedule page. While held in the reallocation account, net premium(s) will be credited with interest at the current fixed account rate and reduced by any monthly deductions due. The net premiums will remain in the reallocation account until the reallocation date. The reallocation date is the date we reallocate all cash value held in the reallocation account to the fixed account and/or subaccounts you selected in your application.  In those states that require us to return all premiums paid for the Policy in the event you exercise your free-look right, we set the reallocation date to coincide with the free-look period applicable to your Policy plus a margin of five days for Policy delivery.  Please contact your registered representative/agent for details concerning the free-look period for your state.

On the first valuation date on or after the reallocation date, we will reallocate all cash value from the reallocation account to the fixed account and the subaccounts you selected on the application. If however you requested dollar cost averaging, we will reallocate the cash balance on the reallocation date to either the fixed account, the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP subaccount, or the Transamerica JPMorgan Core Bond VP subaccount (depending on which account or subaccount you selected on your application).

Please Note: For states that do not require a full refund of the initial premium, the reallocation date is the same as the Policy date. On the Policy date, we will allocate your initial net premium, minus monthly deductions, to the fixed account and the subaccounts in accordance with the instructions you gave us on your application.

Premium Flexibility

You generally have flexibility to determine the frequency and the amount of the premiums you pay. Before we issue the Policy to you, we may require you to pay a premium amount that is at least equal to a minimum monthly guarantee premium set forth in your Policy. Thereafter (subject to the limitations described below), you may make premium payments at any time and in any amount over $50. Under some circumstances, you may be required to pay extra premiums to prevent a lapse. Your minimum monthly guarantee premium may change if you request a change in your Policy. If this happens, we will notify you of the new minimum monthly guarantee premium.  See "Minimum Monthly Guarantee Premium" below.

Planned Periodic Payments

You can determine a planned periodic payment schedule, which allows you to pay level premiums at fixed intervals over a specified period of time. The amount and frequency you choose will be shown in your Policy. You are not required to pay premiums according to this schedule. You may change the amount, frequency, and the time period over which you make your planned periodic payments. Please be sure to notify us or your selling firm of any address changes so that we may be able to keep your current address on record.

Even if you make your planned periodic payments on schedule, your Policy still may lapse. How long your Policy remains in force depends on the Policy's net surrender value. If the net surrender value is not high enough to pay the monthly deductions when due (and your no lapse period has expired) then your Policy will lapse (unless you make the payment we specify during the 61-day grace period).

Minimum Monthly Guarantee Premium

The full initial premium is the only premium you are required to pay under the Policy. However, you greatly increase your risk of lapse if you fail to regularly pay premiums at least as large as the current minimum monthly guarantee premium.

 

The initial minimum monthly guarantee premium is shown on your Policy's schedule page, and depends on a number of factors, including the age, gender, rate class of the insured, the specified amount requested, and your Policy’s applicable C.S.O. table.  We will adjust the minimum monthly guarantee premium if you change death benefit options, increase or decrease the specified amount, or if any of the riders are added or terminated , or in force riders are increased or decreased. We will notify you of the new minimum monthly guarantee premium.

No Lapse Guarantee

Until the no lapse date shown on your Policy schedule page, your Policy will remain in force and no grace period will begin, even if your net surrender value is too low to pay the monthly deductions as long as, on any Monthiversary, the total amount of the premiums you have paid (minus any cash withdrawals, minus any outstanding loan amount and minus any accrued interest) equals or exceeds the sum of the minimum monthly guarantee premiums in effect for each month from the Policy date up to, and including, the current month. ( Your initial minimum monthly guarantee premium is shown on your Policy schedule page.  You may obtain information about your minimum monthly guarantee premium and assistance to determine the amount of premiums you must pay to keep your Policy in force by contacting our administrative office.) If you take a cash withdrawal or a loan, or if you increase or decrease your specified amount or if you add, increase or decrease a rider, you may need to pay additional premiums in order to keep the no lapse guarantee in effect. Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.”

After the no lapse period ends, paying the current minimum monthly guarantee premium each month will not necessarily keep your Policy in force. You may need to pay additional premiums to keep the Policy in force.

Premium Limitations

We may require premium payments to be at least $50 ($1,000 if by wire). If the payment mode is by monthly direct deposit, we may require minimum payments of $100.   We may return premiums less than the minimum. We will not allow you to make any premium payments that would cause the total amount of the premiums you pay to exceed the current maximum premium limitations by which the Policy qualifies as life insurance under federal tax laws.

This maximum is set forth in your Policy. If you make a payment that would cause your total premiums to be greater than the maximum premium limitations, we will return the excess portion of the premium payment within 60 days after the end of the Policy year. In addition, we reserve the right to refund a premium if the premium would increase the death benefit by more than the amount of the premium.  We will not accept a payment that will cause the Policy to become a modified endowment contract without your consent.

Making Premium Payments

  We will accept premium payments by wire transfer.  If you wish to make payments by wire transfer, you should contact our administrative office at 1-800-851-9777 for instructions on wiring funds to us. Certain charges are deducted from the premium payments you make.

Tax-Free Exchanges ("1035 Exchanges"). We accept a part of or all of your initial premiums from one or more contracts insuring the same insured that qualify for tax-free exchanges under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. If you contemplate such an exchange, you should consult a competent tax advisor to learn the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

 

Please Note:  We may hold premium payments in a non-interest bearing account for up to 14 days if applying the premium payment would cause the Policy to violate Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 or other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information regarding tax considerations regarding your Policy or consult a qualified tax advisor.

Transfers            
 
General
 
You or your authorized representative may make transfers among the subaccounts, or among the subaccounts and the fixed account. You will be bound by any transfers made by your authorized representative.  We determine the amount you have available for transfers at the end of the valuation period when we receive your transfer request.
 
We may, at any time, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, or limit the number of transfers we permit. The following features apply to transfers under the Policy:
 
    · 
Your Policy may be limited to a cumulative transfer out of the fixed account each Policy year of the greate r of 25% of the amount in the fixed account, or the amount transferred out of the fixed account the previous Policy year.  However, the transfer may not be greater than the unloaned portion of the fixed account on that date. See “Fixed Account Transfers.”
    · 
Currently we do not, but reserve the right to, limit the amount of and the number of transfers out of the fixed account to one per Policy year.  If we modify or stop our current practices, we will notify you at the time of your transfer.
    · 
For Policies Applied for On or After September 22, 2008 : Unless otherwise required by state law, we may restrict transfers to the fixed account, if the fixed account value, excluding amounts in the loan reserve, following the transfer would exceed $250,000.  This restriction will not apply to any transfer to the fixed account necessary in the exercise of conversion rights.
    · 
You may request transfers in writing (in a form we accept), to our mailing address, by fax or by telephone to our administrative office, or electronically through our website (www.westernreserve.com).  Please Note:  Certain subaccounts have similar names. It is important that you state or write the full name of the subaccount when making a transfer request to ensure that any transfer request that you submit is in good order.
    · 
There is no minimum amount that must be transferred.
    · 
There is no minimum amount that must remain in a subaccount after a transfer.
    · 
Except as listed below, we may deduct a $25 charge from the amount transferred for each transfer in excess of 12 transfers in a Policy year.
    · 
We consider all transfers made in any one day to be a single transfer.
    · 
Transfers resulting from loans or the exercise of conversion rights, or due to the reallocation of cash value immediately after the reallocation date are currently not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing the transfer charge.
    · 
Transfers via the Internet are not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing the transfer charge.
    · 
Transfers among the ProFunds and/or Access Trust subaccounts are not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing the transfer charge.
    · 
Transfers under dollar cost averaging and asset rebalancing currently are not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing the transfer charge.

We will process any transfer order that is received in writing, in good order, at our mailing address, or by fax or by telephone at our administrative office, before the NYSE closes (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time ) using the subaccount unit value determined at the end of that session of the NYSE. If we receive the transfer order after the NYSE closes, or on a day the NYSE is closed for trading, we will process the order using the subaccount unit value determined at the close of the next regular business session of the NYSE. (If you send your request by fax, be sure to use the correct fax number. Please see “Telephone, Fax and Online Privileges.”)
 
Disruptive Trading and Market Timing
 
The market timing policy and the related procedures (discussed below) do not apply to the ProFunds or Access Trust subaccounts because the corresponding portfolios are specifically designed to accommodate frequent transfer activity.  If you invest in the ProFunds or Access Trust subaccounts, you should be aware that you may bear the costs and increased risks of frequent transfers discussed below.
 
 Statement of Policy.  This variable insurance Policy was not designed for the use of market timers or frequent or disruptive traders.  Such transfers may be harmful to the underlying fund portfolios and increase transaction costs.
 
Market timing and disruptive trading among the subaccounts, or between the subaccounts and the fixed account, can cause risks with adverse effects for other policyowners (and beneficiaries and underlying fund portfolios).  These risks and harmful effects include:
 
(1)
Dilution of the interests of long-term investors in a subaccount if purchases or transfers into or out of an underlying fund portfolio are made at prices that do not reflect an accurate value for the underlying fund portfolio’s investments (some market timers attempt to do this through methods known as “time-zone arbitrage” and “liquidity arbitrage”);
(2)
An adverse effect on portfolio management, such as:
 
(a)
Impeding a portfolio manager’s ability to sustain an investment objective.
 
(b)
Causing the underlying fund portfolio to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case.
 
(c)
Causing an underlying fund portfolio to liquidate investments prematurely (or otherwise at an inopportune time) in order to pay withdrawals or transfers out of the underlying fund portfolio.
(3)
Increased brokerage and administrative expenses.
 
           These costs are borne by all policyowners invested in those subaccounts, not just those making the transfers.
 
           We have developed policies and procedures with respect to market timing and disruptive trading (which vary for certain subaccounts at the request of the underlying fund portfolios) and we do not make special arrangements or grant exceptions to accommodate market timing or other potentially disruptive or harmful trading.  As discussed herein, we cannot detect or deter all market timing or other potentially disruptive trading.  Do not invest with us if you intend to conduct market timing or potentially disruptive trading.
 
            Detection.  We employ various means in an attempt to detect and deter market timing and disruptive trading.  However, despite our monitoring we may not be able to detect nor halt all harmful trading.  In addition, because other insurance companies (and retirement plans) with different policies and procedures may invest in the underlying fund portfolios, we cannot guarantee that all harmful trading will be detected or that an underlying fund portfolio will not suffer from market timing and disruptive trading among subaccounts of variable products issued by these other insurance companies or retirement plans.
 
Deterrence.  If we determine you are engaged in market timing or disruptive trading, we may take one or more actions in an attempt to halt such trading.  Your ability to make transfers is subject to modification or restriction if we determine, in our sole opinion, that your exercise of the transfer privilege may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other policyowners (or others having an interest in the variable insurance products).  As described below, restrictions may take various forms, but under our current policies and procedures will include loss of expedited transfer privileges.  We consider transfers by telephone, fax, overnight mail, or the Internet to be “expedited” transfers.  This means that we would accept only written transfer requests with an original signature transmitted to us only by standard United States Postal Service First Class mail.  We may also restrict the transfer privileges of others acting on your behalf, including your registered representative or an asset allocation or investment advisory service.
 
We reserve the right to reject any premium payment or transfer request from any person without prior notice, if, in our judgment , (1) the payment or transfer, or series of transfers, would have a negative impact on an underlying fund portfolio's operations; or (2) if an underlying fund portfolio would reject or has rejected our purchase order or has instructed us not to allow that purchase or transfer; or (3) because of a history of market timing and disruptive trading.  We may impose other restrictions on transfers, or even prohibit transfers for any owner who, in our view, has abused, or appears likely to abuse, the transfer privilege on a case-by-case basis.  We may, at any time and without prior notice, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, impose holding period requirements, or limit the number, size, frequency, manner, or timing of transfers we permit.  We also reserve the right to reverse a potentially harmful transfer if an underlying fund portfolio refuses or reverses our order; in such instances some policyowners may be treated differently than others in that some transfers may be reversed and others allowed.  For all of these purposes, we may aggregate two or more variable insurance products that we believe are connected.  Please Note: If you engage a third party investment advisor for asset allocation services, then you may be subject to these transfer restrictions because of the actions of your investment advisor in providing those services.
 
In addition, transfers for multiple policies invested in the Transamerica Series Trust underlying fund portfolios which are submitted together may be disruptive at certain levels.  At the present time, such aggregated transactions likely will not cause disruption if less than one million dollars total is being transferred with respect to any one underlying fund portfolio (a smaller amount may apply to smaller portfolios).  Please note that transfers of less than one million dollars may be disruptive in some circumstances and this general amount may change quickly.

 
In addition to our internal policies and procedures, we will administer your variable insurance product to comply with any applicable state, federal, and other regulatory requirements concerning transfers.  We reserve the right to implement, administer, and charge you for any fee or restriction, including redemption fees, imposed by any underlying fund portfolio.  To the extent permitted by law, we also reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the underlying fund portfolios.
 
Under our current policies and procedures, we do not:
 
    · 
Impose redemption fees on transfers.
    · 
Expressly limit the number or size of transfers in a given period except for certain subaccounts where an underlying fund portfolio has advised us to prohibit certain transfers that exceed a certain size.
    · 
Provide a certain number of allowable transfers in a given period.

Redemption fees, transfer limits, and other procedures or restrictions may be more or less successful than ours in deterring market timing or other disruptive trading and in preventing or limiting harm from such trading.

In the absence of a defensive transfer restriction (e.g., expressly limiting the number of trades within a given period or their size), it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before it is detected and steps taken to deter it (although some level of market timing and disruptive trading can occur with a defensive transfer restriction).

Please Note:  The limits and restrictions described herein are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity.  Our ability to detect market timing or other disruptive trading may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as by our ability to predict strategies employed by policyowners (or those acting on their behalf) to avoid detection.  As a result, despite our efforts to prevent harmful trading activity among the variable investment options available under this variable insurance product, there is no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter market timing or disruptive trading by such policyowners or intermediaries acting on their behalf.  Moreover, our ability to discourage and restrict market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by decisions of state regulatory bodies and court orders which we cannot predict.

Furthermore, we may revise our policies and procedures at our sole discretion at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate: (1) to better detect and deter market timing or other harmful trading that may adversely affect other policyowners, other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products, or underlying fund shareholders generally; (2) to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements; or (3) to impose additional or alternative restrictions on owners engaging in market timing or disruptive trading among the investment options under the variable insurance product.  In addition, we may not honor transfer requests if any variable investment option that would be affected by the transfer is unable to purchase or redeem shares of its corresponding underlying fund portfolio.

Underlying Fund Portfolio Frequent Trading Policies.  The underlying fund portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares.  Underlying fund portfolios may, for example, assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period of time.  The prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios describe any such policies and procedures.  The frequent trading policies and procedures of an underlying fund portfolio may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other underlying fund portfolios and the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance policies to discourage market timing and disruptive trading.  Policyowners should be aware that we may not have the contractual ability or the operational capacity to monitor policyowners’ transfer requests and apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective underlying funds that would be affected by the transfers.  Accordingly, policyowners and other persons who have material rights under our variable insurance products should assume that any protection they may have against potential harm from market timing and disruptive trading is the protection, if any, provided by the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance products to discourage market timing and other disruptive trading in certain subaccounts.

You should be aware that, as required by SEC regulation, we have entered into a written agreement with each underlying fund or principal underwriter that obligates us to provide the fund, upon written request, with information about you and your trading activities in the fund’s portfolios.  In addition, we are obligated to execute instructions from the funds that may require us to restrict or prohibit your investment in a specific portfolio if the fund identifies you as violating the frequent trading policies that the fund has established for that portfolio.

If we receive a premium payment from you that you allocate into a fund that has directed us to restrict or prohibit your trades into the fund, then we will request new allocation instructions from you.  If we receive from you a transfer request into a fund that has directed us to restrict or prohibit your trades, then we will not effect the transfer.

Omnibus Order.  Policyowners and other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products also should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the underlying fund portfolios generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans and separate accounts funding variable insurance products.  The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and individual owners of variable insurance products.  The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the underlying fund portfolios’ ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures.  We cannot guarantee that the underlying fund portfolios will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans or other insurance companies that may invest in the underlying fund portfolios.  These other insurance companies are responsible for their own policies and procedures regarding frequent transfer activity.  If their policies and procedures fail to successfully discourage harmful transfer activity, it will affect other owners of underlying fund portfolio shares, as well as the owners of all of the variable annuity or life insurance policies, including ours, whose variable investment options correspond to the affected underlying fund portfolios.  In addition, if an underlying fund portfolio believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from owners engaged in market timing and disruptive trading, the underlying fund portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby delay or prevent us from implementing your request.

ProFunds and Access Trust Subaccounts.  Because the above restrictions do not apply to the ProFunds or Access Trust subaccounts, they may have a greater risk than others of suffering from the harmful effects of market timing and disruptive trading, as discussed above (i.e., dilution, an adverse effect on portfolio management and increased expenses).

Telephone, Fax and Online Privileges
 
Telephone transfer privileges will automatically apply to your Policy unless you provide other instructions. The telephone transfer privileges allow you to give authority to the registered representative or agent of record for your Policy to make telephone transfers and to change the allocation of future payments among the subaccounts and the fixed account on your behalf according to your instructions. To make a telephone transfer, you may call us at our administrative office at 1-800-851-9777, Monday - Friday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time , or fax your instructions to our subaccount transfer fax number 1-727-299-1648 (for all other fax requests, please use 1-727-299-1620).  You also may request transfers electronically through our website, Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. http:// www.westernreserve,com . Please note: Certain subaccounts have similar names. When providing your allocation instructions, please state or write the full name of the subaccount that you select for your allocation to ensure that those allocation instructions are in good order.
 
Additionally, please note the following regarding telephone, Internet or fax transfers:

       ·
We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine.
       ·
If we follow these procedures, we are not liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense from complying with telephone instructions we reasonably believe to be authentic. You bear the risk of any such loss.
       ·
If we do not employ reasonable confirmation procedures, we may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.
       ·
Such procedures may include requiring forms of personal identification prior to acting upon telephone instructions, providing written confirmation of transactions to owners, and/or tape recording telephone instructions received from owners.
       ·
We may also require that you send us the telephone, Internet or fax order in writing.
       ·
If you do not want the ability to make telephone transfers, you should notify us in writing at our mailing address, or through our fax number (1-727-299-1620).
       ·
We will not be responsible for same day processing of transfers if the transfer order is faxed to a number other than 1-727-299-1648 or 1-727-299-1620.
       ·
We will not be responsible for any transmittal problems when you fax us your order unless you report it to us within five business days and send us proof of your fax transmittal. We may discontinue this option at any time.

We cannot guarantee that telephone and faxed transactions will always be available. For example, our offices may be closed during severe weather emergencies or there may be interruptions in telephone or fax service beyond our control. If the volume of calls is unusually high, we might not have someone immediately available to receive your order at our administrative office. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances.

Similarly, online transactions processed via the Internet may not always be possible. Telephone and computer systems, whether yours, your Internet service provider's, your registered representative's or Western Reserve's, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may prevent or delay our receipt of your request. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your request or inquiry in writing.

You should protect your personal identification number (“PIN”) and your user ID and password because self-service options will be available to your agent of record and to anyone who provides your indentifying information. We will not be able to verify that the person using your PIN on the automated phone line or providing instructions online is you or one authorized by you.

Currently, we do not, but reserve the right to, limit the number of transfers out of the fixed account to one per Policy year.  If we change this, we will notify you at the time of your transfer.

We reserve the right to limit the maximum amount you may transfer from the fixed account each Policy year to the greater of 25% of the amount in the fixed account or the amount you transferred from the fixed account in the immediately preceding Policy year.
 
These restrictions do not apply to dollar cost averaging transactions.  However, the transfer may not be greater than the unloaned portion of the fixed account on the valuation date on which we receive the transfer request .

We will make the transfer at the end of the valuation date on which we receive the request, in good order, at our administrative office (for telephonic and facsimile transactions), at our mailing address (for written correspondence), or electronically through our website.  For Policies Applied for On or After September 22, 2008:  We reserve the right to require that you make the transfer request in writing and that we receive the written transfer request no later than 30 days after a Policy anniversary.

For Policies Applied for On or After September 22, 2008, unless otherwise required by state law, we may restrict transfers to the fixed account if the fixed account value, excluding amounts in the loan reserve following the transfer would exceed $250,000.   N ote: These restrictions may prolong the period of time it takes to transfer your total cash value in the fixed account to the subaccounts and, therefore, you should carefully consider whether investment in the fixed account meets your needs and investment criteria. This restriction does not apply to any transfer to the fixed account necessary in the exercise of conversion rights.

Except when used to pay premiums, we also may defer payment of any amounts from the fixed account for no longer than six months after we receive such written notice.

New Jersey: The fixed account is not available to you if your Policy was applied for before September 22, 2008 and issued before January 1, 2009 in the State of New Jersey.   You may not direct or transfer any money to the fixed account.
 

Conversion Rights

If, within 24 months of your Policy date, you transfer all of your subaccount values to the fixed account, then we will not charge you a transfer fee, even if applicable. You must make your request, in good order, in writing to our mailing address.

In the event of a material change in the investment policy of any portfolio, you may transfer all subaccount value in that portfolio the fixed account without a transfer charge.  We must receive your request to transfer the subaccount value to the fixed account in good order within 60 days after the effective date of the change of investment policy or the date you receive notification of such change, whichever is later.

Dollar Cost Averaging

Dollar cost averaging is an investment strategy designed to reduce the average purchase price per unit. The strategy spreads the allocation of your premium into the subaccounts over a period of time. This potentially allows you to reduce the risk of investing most of your premium into the subaccounts at a time when prices are high. The success of this strategy is not assured and depends on market trends. You should consider carefully your financial ability to continue the program over a long enough period of time to purchase units when their value is low as well as when it is high. We make no guarantee that dollar cost averaging will result in a profit or protect you against loss.

Under dollar cost averaging, we automatically transfer a set dollar amount from the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP subaccount, the Transamerica JPMorgan Core Bond VP subaccount, or the fixed account to a subaccount that you choose.  We will make the transfers monthly as of the end of the valuation date after the first Monthiversary after the reallocation date. We will make the first transfer in the month after we receive your request at our mailing address, in good order, provided that we receive the form by the 25th day of the month. (Note: As stated on the dollar cost averaging form, the date that you select cannot be the 29th, 30th or 31st of any month.)

To start dollar cost averaging:
    · 
You must submit to us, in good order, in writing to our mailing address (or by facsimile to our administrative office),   a completed form signed by the owner, requesting dollar cost averaging.
 
    · 
You may be required to have at least $5,000 in each subaccount or the fixed account from which we will make transfers.
 
    · 
Your total transfers each month under dollar cost averaging may be limited to a minimum of $100.
 
    · 
Each month, you may not transfer more than one-tenth of the amount that was in your fixed account at the beginning of dollar cost averaging.

You may request dollar cost averaging at any time.  There is no charge for dollar cost averaging.

Dollar cost averaging will terminate if any of the following occur:
    · 
We receive, in good order, at our mailing address (or by facsimile or telephone to our administrative office) a request to discontinue participation from you, your authorized representative .
 
    · 
The value in the accounts from which we make the transfers is depleted.
 
    · 
You elect to participate in the asset rebalancing program.
 
    · 
You elect to participate in any asset allocation services provided by a third party.

If you terminate your participation in the dollar cost averaging program but later decide that you would like to participate again, you must sign and submit a new dollar cost averaging form, (in good order).   We may modify, suspend, or discontinue dollar cost averaging at any time.
 
Asset Rebalancing Program
 
We also offer an asset rebalancing program under which you may transfer amounts periodically to maintain a particular percentage allocation among the subaccounts you have selected.  Asset rebalancing is not available with the fixed account.  Cash value allocated to each subaccount will grow or decline in value at different rates. The asset rebalancing program automatically reallocates the cash value in the subaccounts at the end of each period to match your Policy's currently effective premium allocation schedule. Cash value in the fixed account and the dollar cost averaging program is not available for this program. This program does not guarantee gains. A subaccount may still have losses.

You may elect asset rebalancing to occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Once we receive the asset rebalancing request form, in good order, at our mailing address (or by facsimile  at our administrative office), we will change your premium allocation instructions to match your asset rebalancing request instructions, and we will implement the asset rebalancing program on the date you indicated. If you do not indicate a specific date, we will use the date that we receive the form. We will credit the amounts transferred at the unit value next determined on the dates the transfers are made. If a day on which rebalancing would ordinarily occur falls on a day on which the NYSE is closed, rebalancing will occur on the next day that the NYSE is open.

To start asset rebalancing:
    · 
You must submit to us at our mailing address, (or by facsimile to our administrative office) a completed asset rebalancing request form, in good order, signed by the owner.
 
    · 
You may be required to have a minimum cash value of $5,000 or make a $5,000 initial premium payment.

There is no charge for the asset rebalancing program. (We reserve the right to count such allocations as part of your free transfers in the future.)

Asset rebalancing will cease if:
    · 
You elect to participate in the dollar cost averaging program.
 
    · 
We receive, in good order, at our mailing address (or by facsimile or telephone to our administrative office) a request to discontinue participation from you, your registered representative, or agent of record.
 
    · 
You make any transfer to or from any subaccount other than under a scheduled rebalancing.
 
    · 
You elect to participate in any asset allocation services provided by a third party.
 
You may start and stop participation in the asset rebalancing program at any time, but we may restrict your right to re-enter the program to once each Policy year. If you wish to resume the asset rebalancing program, you must complete a new request form. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the asset rebalancing program at any time.
 
Third Party Asset Allocation Services
 
We do not offer any asset allocation programs or any investment models for use with your life insurance policy.  You may authorize and engage your own investment advisor to manage your account.  These investment advisors may be firms or persons who also are appointed by us, or whose affiliated broker-dealers are appointed by us, as authorized sellers of the Policies.  Even if this is the case, however, please note that the investment advisor you engage to provide advice and/or make transfers for you is not acting on our behalf, but rather is acting on your behalf.  We do not offer advice about how to allocate your cash value under any circumstance.  We are not responsible for any recommendations such investment advisors make, any investment models or asset allocation programs they choose to follow, or any specific transfers they make on your behalf.

Any fee that is charged by your investment advisor is in addition to the fees and expenses that apply under your Policy.  We are not a party to the agreement you have with your investment advisor. You will, however, receive confirmations of transactions that affect your Policy.  Note: If you make withdrawals of cash value to pay advisory fees, then taxes may apply to any such withdrawals and tax penalties may be assessed on withdrawals made before you attain age 59 ½ .

If your investment advisor has also acted as your insurance agent with respect to the sale of your Policy, he or she may be receiving compensation for services provided both as an insurance agent and investment advisor.  Alternatively, the investment advisor may compensate the registered representative from whom you purchased your Policy for the referral that led you to enter into your investment advisory relationship with the investment advisor.  If you are interested in the details about the compensation that your investment advisor and/or your registered representative receive in connection with your Policy, you should ask them for more details.

We, or an affiliate of ours, will process the financial transactions placed by your authorized registered representative or investment advisor.  We reserve the right to discontinue doing so at any time and for any reason.  We may require insurance agents or investment advisors, who are authorized by multiple policyowners to make financial transactions, to enter into an administrative agreement with Western Reserve as a condition of our accepting transactions on your behalf.  The administrative agreement may impose limitations on the registered representative or investment advisor’s ability to request financial transactions on your behalf.  These limitations, which are discussed in the section above entitled “Transfers – Disruptive Trading and Market Timing,” are intended to (i) minimize the detrimental impact of an investment professional who is in a position to transfer large amounts of money for multiple clients in a particular portfolio or type of portfolio, or (ii) intended to comply with specific restrictions or limitations imposed by a portfolio(s) of Western Reserve.

Note: Limitations that we may impose on your authorized registered representative or investment advisor under the terms of the administrative agreement do not apply to financial transactions requested by owners on their own behalf, except as otherwise described in this prospectus.

Any third party asset allocation service may be terminated at any time by the owner or by the t hird p arty s ervice by sending written instruction to our mailing address.

Policy Values           
 
Cash Value
 
Your cash value :

Is determined on the Policy date and on each valuation date.
Equals the sum of all amounts invested in each subaccount and the fixed account, including any amounts held in the loan reserve account (part of the fixed account) to secure any outstanding Policy loan.
Serves as the starting point for calculating values under a Policy.
Varies from day to day, depending on the investment experience of the subaccounts you choose, the interest credited to the fixed account, the charges deducted and any other Policy transactions (such as additional premium payments, transfers, withdrawals and Policy loans).
Has no guaranteed minimum amount and may be more or less than premiums paid.

 
Net Surrender Value
 
The net surrender value is the amount we pay when you surrender your Policy while it is in force. We determine the net surrender value at the end of the valuation period when we receive your written surrender request, in good order, at our mailing address.  You may also fax your requests to 1-727-299-1620.
 
Net surrender value on any valuation date equals:
·
The cash value as of such date; minus
 
·
Any surrender charge as of such date (if applicable); minus
 
·
Any outstanding Policy loan amount including any accrued Policy loan interest.
     

Subaccount Value

The cash value in a subaccount is referred to as “subaccount value.”  At the end of any valuation period, the subaccount value is equal to the number of units that the Policy has in the subaccount, multiplied by the unit value of that subaccount.

The number of units in any subaccount on any valuation date equals:
·
The initial units purchased at unit value on the Policy date, or reallocation date, if different; plus
 
·
Units purchased with additional net premium(s); plus
 
·
Units purchased via transfers from another subaccount or the fixed account; minus
 
·
Units redeemed to pay for monthly deductions; minus
 
·
Units redeemed to pay for cash withdrawals; minus
 
·
Units redeemed as part of a transfer to another subaccount or the fixed account (including the loan reserve account); minus
 
·
Units redeemed to pay cash withdrawals and transfer charges.

Every time you allocate, transfer or withdraw money to or from a subaccount, we convert that dollar amount into units. We determine the number of units we credit to, or subtract from, your Policy by dividing the dollar amount of the allocation, transfer or cash withdrawal by the unit value for that subaccount next determined at the end of the valuation period on which the premium allocation, transfer request or cash withdrawal request is received: (i) at our mailing address (for written requests or payments by check); (ii) at our administrative office (for requests by fax or telephone, or for payments made through electronic credit and debit transactions); or (iii) electronically through our website.

Subaccount Unit Value

The value (or price) of each subaccount unit will reflect the investment performance of the portfolio in which the subaccount invests. Unit values will vary among subaccounts. The unit value of each subaccount was originally established at $10 per unit. The unit value may increase or decrease from one valuation period to the next.

The unit value of any subaccount at the end of a valuation period is calculated as:
 
·
 
The total value of the portfolio shares held in the subaccount, including the value of any dividends or capital gains distribution declared and reinvested by the portfolio during the valuation period. This value is determined by multiplying the number of portfolio shares owned by the subaccount by the portfolio's net asset value per share determined at the end of the valuation period; minus
 
·
A charge equal to the daily net assets of the subaccount multiplied by the daily equivalent of the daily mortality and expense risk charge; minus
 
·
The accrued amount of reserve for any taxes or other economic burden resulting from applying tax laws that we determine to be properly attributable to the subaccount; and the result divided by
 
·
The number of outstanding units in the subaccount before the purchase or redemption of any units on that date.

The portfolio in which any subaccount invests will determine its net asset value per share once daily, as of the close of the regular business session of the NYSE (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time ) except on customary national holidays on which the NYSE is closed, which coincides with the end of each valuation period.

Fixed Account Value

On the Policy date, or the reallocation date if different, the fixed account value is equal to the cash value allocated to the fixed account, less the portion of the first monthly deduction that is subtracted from the fixed account.

The fixed account value at the end of any
·
The sum of net premiums allocated to the fixed account; plus
valuation period is equal to:
·
Any amounts transferred from a subaccount to the fixed account (including amounts transferred to the loan reserve account); plus
 
·
Total interest credited to the fixed account; minus
amounts charged to pay for monthly deductions; minus
 
·
Amounts withdrawn or surrendered from the fixed account to pay for cash withdrawals (including any cash withdrawal charges, if applicable); minus
 
·
Amounts transferred from the fixed account (including any transfer charges, if applicable, and any amounts transferred from the loan reserve account) to a subaccount.

Death Benefit           
 
Death Benefit Proceeds
 
W e will determine the amount of and pay the death benefit proceeds on any Policy in force on the date of death, upon receipt , in good order , at our administrative office of satisfactory proof of the insured's death, plus written direction (from each eligible recipient of death benefit proceeds) regarding distribution of the death benefit payment, and any other documents, forms and information we need. We may require that the Policy be returned. We will pay the death benefit proceeds to the primary beneficiary(ies), if living, or to a contingent beneficiary. If each beneficiary dies before the insured and there is no contingent beneficiary, we will pay the death benefit proceeds to the owner or the owner's estate. We will pay the death benefit proceeds in a lump sum or under a payment option.

The d eath benefit is equal to :
·
The amount determined based on the death benefit option you select (described below); minus
 
·
Any monthly deductions due during the grace period (if applicable); minus
 
·
Any outstanding loan amount including accrued loan interest; plus
 
·
Any additional insurance in force provided by rider.

We may further adjust the amount of the death benefit proceeds if we contest the Policy, or if you misstate the insured's age or gender.
 
Death Benefit
 
The Policy provides a death benefit. The death benefit is determined at the end of the valuation period in which the insured dies. You must select one of the three death benefit options we offer .   If you do not choose a death benefit option in the application, the Option A death benefit option will automatically be in effect. No matter which death benefit option you choose, we guarantee that, as long as the Policy does not lapse, the death benefit will never be less than the specified amount on the date of the insured's death adjusted as shown above.

The Policy is intended to qualify under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 as a life insurance policy for federal tax purposes.  The death benefit is intended to qualify for the federal income tax exclusion.  The provisions of your Policy and any attached endorsement or rider will be interpreted to ensure such qualification, regardless of any language to the contrary.

To the extent the death benefit is increased to maintain qualification as a life insurance policy, we will make appropriate adjustments to any monthly deductions or supplemental benefits that are consistent with such an increase.  Adjustments will be reflected in the monthly deductions.

Under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, a Policy will generally be treated as life insurance for federal tax purposes if at all times it meets the “ Guideline Premium Test (GPT).” The GPT has two components, a premium limit component and a corridor component.  The premium limit restricts the amount of premium that can be paid into the Policy.  The corridor requires that the death benefit be at least a certain percentage (varying each year by age of the insured) of the cash value.

Option A

The d eath benefit equals the greatest of:
    ·
The specified amount; or
    ·
A specified percentage called the "limitation percentage," multiplied by   the cash value on the insured’s date of death; or
 
    ·
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Under Option A, your death benefit remains level unless the limitation percentage multiplied by the cash value is greater than the specified amount; then the death benefit will vary as the cash value varies.

The limitation percentage is the minimum percentage of cash value we must pay as the death benefit under federal tax requirements. It is based on the attained age of the insured at the beginning of each Policy year. The following table indicates the limitation percentages for different ages:

Attained Age
Limitation Percentage
40 and under
250%
41 to 45
250% minus 7% for each age over age 40
46 to 50
215% minus 6% for each age over age 45
51 to 55
185% minus 7% for each age over age 50
56 to 60
150% minus 4% for each age over age 55
61 to 65
130% minus 2% for each age over age 60
66 to 70
120% minus 1% for each age over age 65
71 to 75
115% minus 2% for each age over age 70
76 to 90
105%
91 to 95
105% minus 1% for each age over age 90
96 and older
100%

If the federal tax code requires us to determine the death benefit by reference to these limitation percentages, the Policy is described as "in the corridor." An increase in the cash value will increase our risk, and we will increase the cost of insurance we deduct from the cash value.

Option A Example . Assume that the insured's attained age is under 40 and that there are no outstanding loans. Under Option A, a Policy with a $100,000 specified amount will generally pay $100,000 in death benefits. However, because the death benefit must be equal to or be greater than 2 . 5 times the cash value, any time the cash value of the Policy exceeds $40,000, the death benefit will exceed the $100,000 specified amount. (The figure $40,000 is derived by solving for cash value in the following calculation: $100,000=2 . 50% times the cash value.) Each additional dollar added to the cash value above $40,000 will increase the death benefit by $2.50.

Similarly, as long as the cash value exceeds $40,000, each dollar taken out of the cash value will reduce the death benefit by $2.50. If at any time the cash value multiplied by the limitation percentage is less than the specified amount, then the death benefit will equal the specified amount of the Policy reduced by the dollar value of any cash withdrawals.

Option B

The d eath benefit equals the greatest of:
·
The specified amount; plus   the cash value on the insured's date of death; or
 
·
The limitation percentage, multiplied by the cash value on the insured’s date of death; or
 
·
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Under Option B, the death benefit always varies as the cash value varies.

Option B Example . Assume that the insured's attained age is under 40 and that there are no outstanding loans. Under Option B, a Policy with a specified amount of $100,000 will generally pay a death benefit of $100,000 plus cash value. Thus, a Policy with a cash value of $10,000 will have a death benefit of $110,000 ($100,000 + $10,000). The death benefit, however, must be at least 2 . 5 times the cash value. As a result, if the cash value of the Policy exceeds $66,667, the death benefit will be greater than the specified amount plus cash value.  (The figure of $66,667 is derived by solving for cash value in the following calculation:  $100,000 plus cash value = 2 . 5 times the cash value.)  Each additional dollar of cash value above $66,667 will increase the death benefit by $2.50.

Similarly, any time the cash value exceeds $66,667, each dollar taken out of the cash value will reduce the death benefit by $2.50. If at any time, cash value multiplied by the limitation percentage is less than the specified amount plus the cash value, then the death benefit will be the specified amount plus the cash value of the Policy.

Option C

The d eath benefit equals the greatest of:
·
The d eath benefit under Option A; or
 
·
The specified amount, multiplied by a n age-based “factor” equal to the lesser of:
       
   
>
1.0 or
   
>
0.04 multiplied by (95 minus insured’s attained age at death)
 (the “factor” will never be less than zero); plus
   
plus the cash value on the insured's date of death; or
 
·
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Under Option C, the death benefit varies with the cash value and the insured's attained age. Because the death benefit under Option C is at least as large as that under Option A, the Code Section 7702 life insurance qualification compliance test used in calculating the Option A benefit will be taken into account in the Option C death benefit.

Option C--Three Examples .

1.  Assume that the insured is attained age 75 and that there are no outstanding loans. Under Option C, a Policy with a specified amount of $100,000 and with a cash value of $22,000 will have a death benefit of $102,000 { $100,000 x the minimum of ( 1.0 and (0.04 x (95-75)) + $22,000 } .
 
2.  Assume that the insured is attained age 75 and that there are no outstanding loans. Under Option C, a Policy with a specified amount of $100,000 and with a cash value of $9,000 will have a death benefit equal to the specified amount of $100,000, since the calculation of $100,000 times the minimum of { 1.0 and (0.04 x (95-75) ) } plus $9,000 is less than the specified amount.
 
3.  Assume that the insured is under age 71 and that there are no outstanding loans. Under Option C, a Policy with a specified amount of $100,000 and with a cash value of $10,000 will have a death benefit of $110,000, because through age 70 the minimum of { 1.0 and (0.04 x (95-age)) } is always 1.0. Until the insured attains age 71, the Option C death benefit is the same as the Option B death benefit.
 
Effect of Cash Withdrawals on the Death Benefit
 
For Policies Applied for On or After September 22, 2008: When death benefit Option A is in effect or when death benefit Option C is in effect and the insured’s attained age is 71 or greater, a cash withdrawal will reduce the specified amount of the Policy by an amount equal to the amount of the cash withdrawal.  For Policies Applied for Before September 22, 2008 and Issued Before January 1, 2009: If you choose Option A, a cash withdrawal will reduce the specified amount by an amount equal to the amount of the cash withdrawal.  Regardless of the death benefit option in effect , a cash withdrawal will reduce the death benefit by at least the amount of the withdrawal.  This decrease in specified amount may cause your Policy to be in a lower specified amount band, so your cost of insurance rates would be higher.

 
Choosing Death Benefit Option
 
You must choose one death benefit option on your application. This is an important decision. The death benefit option you choose will have an impact on the dollar value of the death benefit, on your cash value, and on the amount of cost of insurance charges you pay. If you do not select a death benefit option on your application, we will assume you selected death benefit Option A and will ask you to confirm the selection of Option A in writing or choose one of the other death benefit options.
 
You may find Option A more suitable for you if your goal is to increase your cash value through positive investment experience. You may find Option B more suitable if your goal is to increase your total death benefit. You may find Option C more suitable if your goal is to increase your total death benefit before you reach attained age 70, and to increase your cash value through positive investment experience thereafter.
 
Changing the Death Benefit Option
 
After the third Policy year, you may change your death benefit option once each Policy year . Changing the death benefit option may affect the specified amount.  We will notify you of the new specified amount.
 
 
Changes to the Death Benefit Option are subject to the following conditions:
 
    ·
You must send your written request, in good order, to our mailing address or fax it to us at 1-727-299-1620. (If you send your request by fax, be sure to use the correct fax number. Please see “Telephone, Fax, and Online Privileges.”)
    ·
The effective date of the change will be the Monthiversary on or following the date when we receive your request for a change.
    ·
You may not make a change that would decrease the specified amount below the minimum specified amount shown on your Policy schedule page.
    ·
There may be adverse federal tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before changing your Policy's death benefit option.

Increasing/Decreasing the Specified Amount
 
 
 
You may apply to increase the specified amount at any time or decrease at any time after the third Policy year. No more than one change in the specified amount can occur each Policy year. If approved, the increase or decrease will take effect on the next Policy Monthiversary.  An increase or decrease in the specified amount will affect your cost of insurance charge, your minimum monthly guarantee premium, and may affect your ability to maintain the no lapse period guarantee. A change in specified amount may affect the Policy’s qualification tests as life insurance under IRC 7702 and could cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract under IRC 7702a and may have adverse federal tax consequences. Any charges associated with an increase or decrease in your specified amount will be based on the same C.S.O. Table that was in effect when your Policy was issued.

In addition, an increase or decrease in specified amount may move the Policy into a different specified amount band so that your overall cost of insurance rate and premium expense charge rate will change. An increase in specified amount will be treated as an additional layer of coverage with its own cost of insurance rates, surrender charges and surrender charge period. If you increase your specified amount, we will notify you of your new minimum monthly guarantee premium and surrender charge schedule.
 
Any decrease will reduce your specified amount in the additional layer of coverage created:
 
(a)  
 first, by the most recent increase;
 
(b)  
followed by, the next most recent increases successively; and
 
(c)  
followed by, the amount specified in the original application.
 
You should consult a tax advisor before increasing or decreasing your Policy's specified amount.

Conditions for and impact of
decreasing the specified amount:
·
You must send your written request, in good order, to our mailing address or fax it to us at 1-727-299-1620.
 
·
Decreases are only allowed after the third Policy year.
 
·
You may not increase and decrease your specified amount in the same Policy year.
 
·
You may not decrease your specified amount lower than the minimum specified amount under B and 1 shown on your Policy schedule page.
 
·
You may not decrease your specified amount if it would disqualify your Policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code.
 
·
Until the later of the end of the surrender charge period or the Policy anniversary on or following the insured’s 65th birthday, we may limit the amount of decrease to no more than 20% of the then specified amount.
 
·
A decrease in specified amount will take effect on the first Monthiversary on or next following the day we receive your written request, in good order, at our mailing address.
 
·
We will assess a decrease charge against the cash value if you request a decrease in your specified amount within the first 15 Policy years (or during the 15 year period subsequent to an increase in specified amount).
     
Conditions for and impact of
increasing the specified amount:
·
Your request, in good order, must be applied for on a supplemental application and must include evidence of insurability satisfactory to us.
 
·
Requests for i ncreases are allowed at any time.
 
·
A requested increase in specified amount requires our approval and will take effect on the Monthiversary on or after the day we approve your request.
 
·
We may require your increase in specified amount to be at least $50,000.
 
·
You may not decrease and increase your specified amount in the same Policy year.

If an increase or decrease to your Policy's specified amount causes your specified amount b and to change, then we will apply the new premium expense charge and cost of insurance rates to the amounts in the new band as of the effective date of the increase or decrease in specified amount.  The new minimum monthly guarantee premium is effective on the date of increase or decrease. In addition, each increase in specified amount will have its own surrender charges that apply for 15 years after any increase. This charge may significantly reduce your net surrender value.

Payment Options
 
 There are several ways of receiving proceeds under the death benefit and surrender provisions of the Policy, other than in a lump sum.  These are described in the section entitled “Settlement Options” in your Policy and in this prospectus.

Surrenders and Cash Withdrawals        

Surrenders

You must make a written request to surrender your Policy for its net surrender value as calculated at the end of the valuation date on which we receive your request, in good order, at our mailing address. You may also fax your request to our administrative office at1- 727-299-1620.  We may require an original signature with your request. Written requests to surrender a Policy that are received at our mailing address (or faxed to our administrative office) before the NYSE closes are priced using the subaccount unit value determined at the close of that regular business session of the NYSE (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).  If we receive a written request at our mailing address (or a fax request at our administrative office) after the NYSE closes, or on a day the NYSE is closed for trading, we will process the surrender request using the subaccount unit value determined at the close of the next regular business session of the NYSE. Please Note:   All surrender requests must be submitted in good order to avoid a delay in processing your request.

The insured must be alive, the Policy must be in force, and it must be before the maturity date when you make your written request. A surrender is effective as of the date when we receive your written request, in good order, at our mailing address. You will incur a surrender charge if you surrender the Policy during the first 15 Policy years (or during the 15-year period following an increase in specified amount).

Once you surrender your Policy, all coverage and other benefits under it cease and cannot be reinstated. We will normally pay you the net surrender value in a lump sum (by check) within seven days or under a settlement option.  A surrender may have tax consequences. For more information regarding tax consequences, please see the section entitled "Federal Income Tax Considerations."
Cash Withdrawals

After the first Policy year, you may request a cash withdrawal of a portion of your surrender value subject to certain conditions. (Note: All requests for a withdrawal must be submitted in good order to avoid a delay in processing your request.)

Cash withdrawal conditions:
    · 
You must send your written cash withdrawal request with an original signature, in good order, to our mailing address (4333 Edgewood Road, N.E., Cedar Rapids, IA 52499).  If your withdrawal request is less than $500,000, then you may fax it to us at 1-727-299-1620.
 
    · 
We may limit the number of withdrawals to one cash withdrawal per Policy year.
 
    · 
We may limit the amount you can withdraw to a minimum of $500 and the remaining net surrender value following a withdrawal may not be less than $500.  During the first 10 Policy years, the amount of the withdrawal may be limited to no less than $500 and to no more than 10% of the net surrender value.  After the 10th Policy year, the amount of a withdrawal may be limited to no less than $500 and to no more than the net surrender value, less $500.
 
    · 
You may not take a cash withdrawal if it will reduce the specified amount below the minimum specified amount set forth in the Policy.
 
    · 
You may specify the subaccount(s) and the fixed account from which to make the withdrawal. If you do not specify an account, we will take the withdrawal from each account in accordance with your current premium allocation instructions. If this is not possible, the withdrawal amount will be withdrawn pro-rata from all accounts.
 
    · 
We generally will pay a cash withdrawal request within seven days following the valuation date we receive the request, in good order, at our mailing address.
 
    · 
We will deduct a processing fee equal to $25 or 2% of the amount you withdraw, whichever is less. We deduct this amount from the withdrawal, and we pay you the balance.
 
    ·
You may not take a cash withdrawal that would disqualify your Policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code.
 
    ·
A cash withdrawal may have tax consequences.

A cash withdrawal will reduce the cash value by the amount of the cash withdrawal, and, in most cases, will reduce the death benefit by at least the amount of the cash withdrawal. For Policies Applied for On or After September 22 : When death benefit Option A is in effect or when Death benefit Option C is in effect and the insured’s attained age is 71 or greater, a cash withdrawal will reduce the specified amount of the Policy by an amount equal to the amount of the cash withdrawal.  For Policies Applied for Before September 22, 2008 and Issued Before January 1, 2009: When death benefit Option A is in effect, a cash withdrawal will reduce the specified amount by an amount equal to the amount of the cash withdrawal.

A decrease in specified amount may cause your Policy to be in a lower specified amount band, so that your cost of insurance rates would be higher.  You also may have to pay higher minimum monthly guarantee premiums and premium expense charges.  We will not impose a decrease charge when the specified amount is decreased as a result of taking a cash withdrawal.

W hen we incur extraordinary expenses, such as overnight mail expenses or wire service fees, for expediting delivery of your cash withdrawal or complete surrender payment, we will deduct that charge from the payment. We currently charge $ 30 for an overnight delivery ($35 for Saturday delivery) and $50 for wire service.  You can obtain further information about these charges by contacting us at our mailing address or our administrative office.

Canceling a Policy

You may cancel a Policy for a refund during the "free-look period" by returning it, with a written request to cancel the Policy, to our mailing address. You may also fax your request to 1-727-299-1620 along with page 3 of the Policy.   (If you send your request by fax, be sure to use the correct fax number.)   The “free-look period” generally expires 10 days after you receive the Policy but in some states you may have more than 10 days. If you decide to cancel the Policy during the “free-look period,” we will treat the Policy as if it had never been issued. We will pay the refund within seven days after we receive the written request, in good order, and the returned Policy at our mailing address (or a fax request and page 3 of the Policy are received in good order at our administrative office).

If your state requires us to allocate premiums according to a policyowner’s instructions during the “free-look period,” then the amount of the refund will be:
 
    ·
Any charges and taxes we deduct from your premiums; plus
    ·
Any monthly deductions or other charges we deducted from amounts you allocated to the subaccounts and the fixed account; plus
    ·
Your cash value in the subaccounts and the fixed account on the date the written request and Policy are received , in good order , at our administrative office or mailing address (or a fax request and page 3 of the Policy are received at our administrative office).
 
 Some states may require us to refund all of the premiums you paid for the Policy. (See “Policy Features – Premiums – Allocation Premiums – Reallocation Account.”)

California Policyowners Age 60 and Over

For policies issued in the state of California, if the policyowner is age 60 or older as of the Policy effective date, the Policy’s free-look period is 30 days from the date of delivery.  During the 30-day free-look period, we will hold the net premiums in the fixed account, unless you direct us to allocate the net premiums as per your most recent allocation instructions.  On the day following the end of the 30-day free look period, we will automatically transfer the accumulated value to subaccounts that you selected.  This automatic transfer is excluded from the transfer limitations described later in this prospectus.

You can direct the allocation of your net premiums to the subaccounts during the 30-day free-look period:

·  On your application.
·  In writing any time before the end of the 30-day free-look period.
 
Signature Guarantees
 
Signature guarantees are relied upon as a means of preventing the perpetration of fraud in financial transactions, including the disbursement of funds or assets from a victim's account with a financial institution or a provider of financial services.  They provide protection to investors by, for example, making it more difficult for a person to take another person's money by forging a signature on a written request for the disbursement of funds.

As a protection against fraud, we may require that the following transaction requests include a Medallion signature guarantee:
 
    · All requests for disbursements (i.e., cash withdrawals and surrenders) of $500,000 or more.
    ·  Any disbursement request made on or within 10 days of our receipt of a request to change the address of record    for an owner's Policy.
    ·  Any disbursement request when Western Reserve has been directed to send proceeds to a different address from the address of record for that owner's account.  Please
    · Any transaction where the owner’s signature on a request submitted does not match the signature in our files.
 
    Note:  This requirement will not apply to disbursement requests made in connection with exchanges of one policy for another with the same owner in a "tax-free exchange" under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
An investor can obtain a signature guarantee from more than 7,000 financial institutions across the United States and Canada that participate in a Medallion signature guarantee program.  This includes many:

· National and state banks.
· Savings banks and savings and loan associations.
· Securities brokers and dealers.
· Credit unions.
 
The best source of a signature guarantee is a bank, savings and loan association, brokerage firm, or credit union with which you do business.  Guarantor firms may, but frequently do not, charge a fee for their services.

A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.  Notarization will not substitute for a signature guarantee.

Loans             
 
General
 
After the first Policy year (as long as the Policy is in force) you may borrow money from the Policy using the Policy’s net surrender value as the only security for the loan. We may permit a loan prior to the first Policy anniversary for Policies issued pursuant to 1035 Exchanges. A loan that is taken from and secured by a Policy may have tax consequences. See “Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
 
Policy loans are subject to certain conditions:
·
We may require you to borrow at least $500.
·
The maximum amount you may borrow is 90% of the cash value less any surrender charge and any outstanding Policy loan, including accrued interest.

When you take a loan, we will withdraw an amount equal to the requested loan from each of the subaccounts and the fixed account based on your current premium allocation instructions (unless you specify otherwise). If this is not possible, the withdrawal amount will be withdrawn from all accounts. We will transfer that amount to the loan reserve account .   The loan reserve account is part of the fixed account.

We normally pay the amount of the loan within seven days after we receive a loan request, in good order, at our mailing address or, in the limited circumstances described below, by fax at our administrative office. We may postpone payment of loans under certain conditions.

You may request a loan of up to $50,000 by telephone by calling us at our administrative office at 1-800-851-9777, Monday - Friday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time . If you do not want the ability to request a loan by telephone, you should notify us in writing at our mailing address. You will be required to provide certain information for identification purposes when you request a loan by telephone. We may ask you to provide us with written confirmation of your request. We will not be liable for processing a loan request if we believe the request is genuine. (Note: All loan requests must be submitted in good order to avoid a delay in processing your request.)

If your loan request is less than $500,000, you may fax it to us at 1-727-299-1620. (If you send your request by fax, be sure to use the correct fax number.) If the loan request exceeds $500,000 or if the address of record has been changed within the past 10 days, we may reject your request or require a signature guarantee. We will not be responsible for any transmittal problems when you fax your request unless you report it to us within five business days and send us proof of your fax transmittal.

You can repay a loan at any time while the Policy is in force. Loan repayments must be sent to our mailing address - 4333 Edgewood Road, N.E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52499 - and will be credited as of the date received .

At each Policy anniversary, we will compare the outstanding loan amount, including accrued loan interest, to the amount in the loan reserve account.  At each such time, if the outstanding loan amount, including accrued loan interest, exceeds the amount in the loan reserve account, we will withdraw the difference from the subaccounts and the fixed account and transfer it to the loan reserve account, in the same manner as when a loan is made. If the amount in the loan reserve account exceeds the amount of the outstanding loan, including accrued loan interest, we will withdraw the difference from the loan reserve account and transfer it to the subaccounts and the fixed account in the same manner as current premiums are allocated. No charge will be imposed for these transfers, and these transfers are not treated as transfers in calculating the transfer charge. We reserve the right to require a transfer to the fixed account if the loans were originally transferred from the fixed account.

Loan Interest Spread

The Loan Interest Spread is the difference between the amount of interest we charge you for a loan (currently, an effective 3.75% annual rate guaranteed no to exceed 4.0%). and the amount of interest we credit to your loan reserve account (an effective annual rate of 3% guaranteed).   We may apply different loan interest rates to different portions of the outstanding loan amount. After the 10th Policy year, we may apply preferred loan charged rates on an amount equal to the cash value minus premiums paid (less any cash withdrawals) and minus any outstanding loan amount. The maximum loan interest spread on preferred loans is 1.00% and the current spread is 0.0%.

Loan Reserve Interest Rate Credited

We will credit the amount in the loan reserve account with interest at an effective annual rate of 3.0%.  After offsetting the 3.0% interest we credit, the net cost of loans currently is 0.75% annually (1.0% maximum guaranteed).
 
Effect of Policy Loans
 
A Policy loan reduces the death benefit proceeds and net surrender value by the amount of any outstanding loan amount, including accrued loan interest. Repaying the loan causes the death benefit proceeds and net surrender value to increase by the amount of the repayment. As long as a loan is outstanding, we hold an amount in the loan reserve equal to the amount of the outstanding loan as of the last Policy anniversary plus any accrued interest . This amount is not affected by the separate account's investment performance and may not be credited with the interest rates accruing on the unloaned portion of cash value in the fixed account. Amounts transferred from the separate account to the loan reserve account will reduce the value in the separate account and we will credit such amounts with an interest rate declared by us rather than a rate of return reflecting the investment results of the separate account.

We also currently charge interest on Policy loans at an effective new annual rate of up to 3.75%.  Because interest is added to the amount of the Policy loan to be repaid, the size of the loan will constantly increase unless the Policy loan is repaid.

There are risks involved in taking a Policy loan, including the potential for a Policy to lapse if projected earnings, taking into account outstanding loans, are not achieved. A Policy loan may also have possible adverse tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before taking out a Policy loan.

We will notify you (and any assignee of record) if a loan causes your net surrender value to reach zero. If you do not submit a sufficient payment within 61 days from the date of the notice, your Policy may lapse.

Policy Lapse and Reinstatement        

Lapse
 
Your Policy may not necessarily lapse (terminate without value) if you fail to make a planned periodic payment. However, even if you make all your planned periodic payments, there is a possibility that your Policy will lose value and lapse. This Policy provides a no lapse guarantee as described below. Once the no lapse period ends, or if the no lapse guarantee is not in effect, your Policy may lapse if the net surrender value on any Monthiversary is less than the monthly deductions due on that day. Such lapse might occur if unfavorable investment experience, loans and cash withdrawals cause a decrease in the net surrender value, or if you have not paid sufficient premiums as discussed below to offset the monthly deductions.

If the net surrender value is not enough to pay the monthly deductions, then we will mail a notice to your last known address according to our records, and any assignee of record. The notice will specify the minimum payment you must pay and the final date by which we must receive the payment to prevent a lapse. We generally require that you make the payment within 61 days after the date of the notice. This 61-day period is called the grace period. We pay the death benefit proceeds if an insured dies during the grace period.  If we do not receive the specified minimum payment by the end of the grace period, then all coverage under the Policy will terminate without value.

Your Policy is a flexible premium policy that is subject to certain monthly deductions that are dependent upon among other factors the characteristics of the insureds, riders associated with your Policy, and your Policy’s specified amount.  If your Policy does lapse and you choose to reinstate it, you will be required to make additional payments.  The payments needed to reinstate the Policy will depend on whether the no lapse date has passed.  Please refer to the section below entitled “Reinstatement” for a description of the payments that may be required to reinstate your Policy.

No Lapse Guarantee

The Policy provides a no lapse guarantee (premium protection period in Illinois) . As long as you keep the no lapse guarantee in effect, your Policy will not lapse and no grace period will begin. Even if your net surrender value is not enough to pay your monthly deductions . The no lapse guarantee will not extend beyond the no lapse date stated in your Policy .   Each month we determine whether the no lapse  guarantee is still in effect.  If the Policy is still in force, but the no lapse guarantee is not in effect , it can be restored by paying at any time before the no lapse date minimum monthly guarantee premiums sufficient to cover the period from the Policy date up to and including the current month.

No lapse date :
    ·
For a Policy issued to any insured ages 0-60, the no lapse date is the lesser of the number of years to attained age 65 or the 20th Policy anniversary.
 
    ·
For a Policy issued to an insured ages 61-85, the no lapse date is the fifth Policy anniversary.
 
    ·
The no lapse date is specified in your Policy . Note: For all Policies with a no lapse date indicated on the Policy schedule page in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 or 2011, that were applied for before September 22, 2008 and issued before January 1, 2009 and   were in force on May 1, 2009 ,   that date was automatically extended to the Policy Anniversary in 2012.
     
Keeping the no lapse guarantee in effect :
    ·
The no lapse guarantee will not remain in effect if you do   not pay sufficient minimum monthly guarantee premiums.
 
    ·
You must pay total premiums (minus cash withdrawals, any outstanding loan amount , including accrued loan interest, and any decrease charge) that equal at least the sum of the minimum monthly guarantee premiums in effect for each month from the Policy date up to and including the current month.
       
Effect of Policy changes on minimum monthly guarantee premium :
   · 
We will recalculate the amount of the minimum monthly guarantee premium if, while the no lapse guarantee is in effect , you change death benefit options, increase or decrease the specified amount, or add, terminate, increase or decrease a rider .
 
   · 
Depending upon the change made to the Policy or rider and the resulting impact on the level of the minimum monthly guaranteed premium, you may need to pay additional premiums to keep the Policy in force. W e normally will not extend the length of the no lapse guarantee .

You will lessen the risk of Policy lapse if you keep the no lapse guarantee in effect. Before you take a cash withdrawal or a loan or decrease the specified amount or add, increase or decrease a rider, you should consider carefully the effect it will have on the no lapse guarantee.

See “Minimum Monthly Guarantee Premium” for a discussion of how the minimum monthly guarantee premium is calculated and can change.

 
Reinstatement

We may reinstate a lapsed Policy within five years after the lapse (and prior to the maturity date). You may not reinstate the Policy if it has been surrendered for cash surrender value. Any reinstatement must be made during the lifetime of the insured. Before we reinstate the Policy we will require from you all of the following :

·  
Submit a written application for reinstatement to our mailing address or you may fax your request to our administrative office at 1-727-299-1620.   (If you send your request by fax, be sure to use the correct fax number.)
 
·  
Provide evidence of insurability satisfactory to us.
 
    Ø  
If the no lapse guarantee has expired, pay an amount sufficient to provide a net premium equal to any uncollected monthly deductions due up to the time of termination, plus two monthly deductions due in advance at the time of reinstatement, plus an amount sufficient to increase the cash value above the surrender charges in effect at the time of reinstatement.
 
    Ø  
If the no lapse guarantee has not expired, pay the lesser of the premium described directly above, or the total minimum monthly guarantee premium from the Policy date through the month of lapse, plus two months of minimum monthly guarantee premiums, minus premiums previously paid net of any withdrawals, outstanding loans, accrued loan interest and surrender charge assessed upon a decrease in specified amount that has been deducted from the cash value.
 
The cash value of the loan reserve on the reinstatement date will be zero. Your net surrender value on the reinstatement date will equal the cash value at the time your Policy lapsed, plus any net premiums you pay at reinstatement, minus one monthly deduction and any surrender charge (that we would assess if you were to surrender the Policy). The reinstatement date for your Policy will be the Monthiversary on or following the day we approve your application for reinstatement. We may decline a request for reinstatement.  We will not reinstate indebtedness (i.e., outstanding loan plus any accrued interest at the time your Policy lapsed).

Federal Income Tax Considerations        

The following summarizes some of the basic federal income tax considerations associated with a Policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. Please consult counsel or other qualified tax advisors for more complete information. We base this discussion on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). Federal income tax laws and the current interpretations by the IRS may change.
 
Tax Status of the Policy
 
A Policy must satisfy certain requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") in order to qualify as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance policies under federal tax law. Guidance as to how these requirements are to be applied is limited. Nevertheless, we believe that the Policy should generally satisfy the applicable Code requirements.

In certain circumstances, owners of variable life insurance policies have been considered for federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their policies due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. Where this is the case, the policyowners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the separate account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the Policies, such as your flexibility to allocate premiums and cash values, have not been explicitly addressed in published rulings.  We believe that the Policy does not give you investment control over separate account assets.

In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the separate account be "adequately diversified" in order to treat the Policy as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes. We intend that the separate account, through the portfolios, will satisfy these diversification requirements.

The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes.
 
Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits
 
In General. We believe that the Policy described in this prospectus is a life insurance policy under Code Section 7702.  Section 7702 defines a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes and places limits on the relationship of the cash value to the death benefit.  As life insurance policies, the death benefits of the policies are generally excludable from the gross income of the beneficiaries.  In the absence of any guidance from the IRS on the issue, we believe that providing an amount at risk after age 99 in the manner provided should be sufficient to maintain the excludability of the death benefit after age 99.  Lack of specific IRS guidance, however, makes the tax treatment of the death benefit after age 99 uncertain.  Also, any increase in cash value should generally not be taxable until received by you or your designee.  However, if your Policy is a modified endowment contract as defined in Code Section 7702A you may be taxed to the extent of gain in the Policy when you take a Policy loan, pledge or assign the Policy. Federal, state and local transfer, estate and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on your circumstances and the beneficiary's circumstances. A tax advisor should be consulted on these consequences.

Generally, you will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the cash value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a Policy occur, or when loans are taken out from or secured by a Policy (e.g., by assignment), the tax consequences depend on whether the Policy is classified as a MEC.  Moreover, if a loan from a Policy that is not a MEC is outstanding when the Policy is surrendered or lapses, the amount of outstanding indebtedness will be considered an amount distributed and will be taxed accordingly.

Modified Endowment Contracts. Under the Code, certain life insurance policies are classified as MECs and receive less favorable tax treatment than other life insurance policies. The rules are too complex to summarize here, but generally depend on the amount of premiums paid during the first seven Policy years or in the seven Policy years following certain changes in the Policy. Certain changes in the Policy after it is issued could also cause the Policy to be classified as a MEC. Among other things, a reduction in benefits could cause a Policy to become a MEC. Due to the Policy's flexibility, each Policy's circumstances will determine whether the Policy is classified as a MEC. If you do not want your Policy to be classified as a MEC, you should consult a tax advisor to determine the circumstances, if any, under which your Policy would or would not be classified as a MEC.

Upon issue of your Policy, we will notify you as to whether or not your Policy is classified as a MEC based on the initial premium we receive. If your Policy is not a MEC at issue, then you will also be notified of the maximum amount of additional premiums you can pay without causing your Policy to be classified as a MEC. If a payment would cause your Policy to become a MEC, you and your registered representative/ agent will be notified. At that time, you will need to notify us if you want to continue your Policy as a MEC. Unless you notify us that you do want to continue your Policy as a MEC, we will refund the dollar amount of the excess premium if we have not yet credit the premium, or, if the premium has been credited, we will return the excess premium within sixty (60) days of year end.

Distributions (other than Death Benefits) from MECs. Policies classified as MECs are subject to the following tax rules:
 
· 
All distributions other than death benefits from a MEC, including distributions upon surrender and cash withdrawals, will be treated first as distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income. They will be treated as tax-free recovery of the owner's investment in the Policy only after all gain has been distributed. Your investment in the Policy is generally your total premium payments. When a distribution is taken from the Policy, your investment in the Policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax-free.
   
· 
Loans taken from or secured by assignment or pledges of such a Policy and increases in cash value secured by such loan or pledge are treated as distributions and taxed accordingly.  If the Policy is part of a collateral assignment split dollar arrangement, the initial assignment as well as increases in cash value during the assignment may be treated as distributions and considered taxable.
   
· 
A 10% additional federal income tax is imposed on the amount included in income except where the distribution or loan is made when you have attained age 59 ½ or are disabled, or where the distribution is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and the beneficiary.
   
· 
If a Policy becomes a MEC, distributions that occur during the Policy year will be taxed as distributions from a MEC. In addition, the IRS has the authority, but has not yet done so, to issue regulations providing that distributions from a Policy that are made within two years before the Policy becomes a MEC will also be taxed in this manner. 

Distributions (other than Death Benefits) from Policies that are not MECs. Distributions from a Policy that is not a MEC are generally treated first as a recovery of your investment in the Policy, and as taxable income after the recovery of all investment in the Policy. However, certain distributions which must be made in order to enable the Policy to continue to qualify as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes if Policy benefits are reduced during the first 15 Policy years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax.  Distributions from or loans from or secured by a Policy that is not a MEC are not subject to the 10% additional tax applicable to MECs.

Policy Loans.  Loans from or secured by a Policy that is not a MEC are generally not treated as distributions. Instead, such loans are treated as indebtedness. If a loan from a Policy that is not a MEC is outstanding when the Policy is surrendered or lapses, the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be taxed as if it were a distribution at that time. The tax consequences associated with Policy loans outstanding after the first 10 Policy years with preferred loan rates are less clear and a tax advisor should be consulted about such loans.

Deductibility of Policy Loan Interest. In general, interest you pay on a loan from a Policy will not be deductible. Before taking out a Policy loan, you should consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences.

Investment in the Policy.  Your investment in the Policy is generally the sum of the premium payments you made. When a distribution from the Policy occurs, your investment in the Policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax-free.

Withholding.  To the extent that Policy distributions are taxable, they are generally subject to withholding for the recipient's federal income tax liability.  The federal income tax withholding rate is generally 10% of the taxable amount of the distribution.  Withholding applies only if the taxable amount of all distributions is at least $200 during a taxable year.  Some states also require withholding for state income taxes.  With the exception of amounts that represent eligible rollover distributions from Pension Plans and 403(b) arrangements, which are subject to mandatory withholding of 20% for federal tax, recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld from distributions.  If the taxable distributions are delivered to foreign countries, U.S. persons may not elect out of withholding.  Taxable distributions to non-resident aliens are generally subject to withholding at a 30% rate unless withholding is eliminated under an international treaty with the United States.  The payment of death benefits is generally not subject to withholding.

Business Uses of the Policy. The Policy may be used in various arrangements, including nonqualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans and business uses of the Policy may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement and business uses of the Policy. Therefore, if you are contemplating using the Policy in any such arrangement, you should be sure to consult a tax advisor as to tax attributes of the arrangement and in its use of life insurance.  In recent years, moreover, Congress and the IRS have adopted new rules relating to nonqualified deferred compensation and to life insurance owned by businesses and life insurance used in split dollar arrangements.  The IRS has recently issued new guidance regarding concerns in the use of life insurance in employee welfare benefit plans, including, but not limited to, the deduction of employer contributions and the status of such plans as listed transactions.  Any business contemplating the purchase of a new Policy or a change in an existing Policy should consult a tax advisor.  Recent legislation under Section 101(j) of the Internal Revenue Code has imposed notice, consent and other provisions on policies owned by employers and certain of their affiliates, owners and employees in order to receive death benefits tax-free and inserted additional tax reporting requirements.

Alternative Minimum Tax. There also may be an indirect tax upon the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the federal corporate alternative minimum tax, if the policyowner is subject to that tax.

Living Benefit Rider (an Accelerated Death Benefit). We believe that the single-sum payment we make under this rider should be fully excludible from the gross income of the beneficiary, except in certain business contexts. You should consult a tax advisor about the consequences of adding this rider to your Policy, or requesting a single-sum payment.

Continuation of Policy Beyond Age 100.  The tax consequences of continuing the Policy beyond the insured’s attained age 100 are unclear and may include taxation of the gain in the Policy at the original maturity date or the taxation of the death benefit in whole or in part.  You should consult a tax advisor if you intend to keep the Policy in force beyond the insured’s attained age 100.

Other Tax Considerations. The transfer of the Policy or designation of a beneficiary may have federal, state, and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. The individual situation of each owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes. Special Rules for Pension Plans and Section 403(b) Arrangements.  If the Policy is purchased in connection with a section 401(a) qualified pension or profit sharing plan, including a section 401(k) plan, or in connection with a section 403(b) plan or program, federal and state income and estate tax consequences could differ from those stated in this prospectus.  The purchase may also affect the qualified status of the plan.  You should consult a qualified tax advisor in connection with such purchase. Policies owned under these types of plans may be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, which may impose additional requirements on the purchase of policies by such plans.  You should consult a qualified advisor regarding ERISA.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”). The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, such purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser’s country of citizenship or residence. Additional documentation may be required with respect to entity purchasers (including foreign corporations, partnerships, and trusts) that are not U.S. residents, and additional withholding may be imposed if such documentation is not provided.   Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase.

In 2001, Congress enacted the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”), which modified the estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes through 2009 and eliminated the estate tax (but not the gift tax) and replaced it with a carryover basis income tax regime for estates of decedents dying in 2010, and also eliminated the generation-skipping transfer tax for transfers made in 2010.  The 2010 Taxpayer Relief Act generally extended the EGGTRA provisions existing in 2009 and reunified the estate and gift transfer taxes for 2011 and 2012.    The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 made permanent certain of the changes to the estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes.  This recent history of changes in these important tax provisions underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified advisor to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios .

 
Other Policy Information         
 
Settlement Options
 
If you surrender the Policy, you may elect to receive the net surrender value in either a lump sum by check or as a series of regular income payments under one of the three settlement options described below. In either event, life insurance coverage ends. Also, when the insured dies, the beneficiary may apply the lump sum death benefit proceeds to one of the same settlement options. If the regular payment under a settlement option would be less than $100, we will instead pay the proceeds in one lump sum. We may make other settlement options available in the future.

Once we begin making payments under a settlement option, you or the beneficiary will no longer have any value in the subaccounts or the fixed account. Instead, the only entitlement will be the amount of the payment specified under the terms of the settlement option chosen. Depending upon the circumstances, the effective date of a settlement option is the surrender date or the insured's date of death.

Under any settlement option, the dollar amount of each payment will depend on four things:

· 
The amount of the surrender on the surrender date or death benefit proceeds on the insured's date of death.
· 
The interest rate we credit on those amounts (we guarantee a minimum annual interest rate of 3.0%).
· 
The mortality tables we use.
· 
The specific payment option(s) you choose.

Option 1--Equal Monthly
Installments for a Fixed Period
·
We will pay the proceeds, plus interest, in equal monthly
installments for a fixed period of your choice, but not longer than 240 months.
 
·
We will stop making payments once we have made all the payments for the period selected.
     
Option 2--Equal Monthly Installments for Life (Life Income)
At your or the beneficiary's direction, we will make equal
monthly installments:
 
·
Only for the life of the payee, at the end of which payments will end; or
 
·
For the longer of the payee's life, or for 10 years if the payee dies before the end of the first 10 years of payments; or
 
·
For the longer of the payee's life, or until the total amount of all payments we have made equals the proceeds that were applied to the settlement option.
     
Option 3--Equal Monthly Installments for the Life of the Payee and then to a Designated Survivor (Joint and Survivor)
·
We will make equal monthly payments during the joint lifetime of two persons, first to a chosen payee, and then to a co-payee, if living, upon the death of the payee.
 
·
Payments to the co-payee, if living, upon the payee's death will equal either:
   
>
The full amount paid to the payee before the payee's death; or
   
>
Two-thirds of the amount paid to the payee before the payee's death.
 
·
All payments will cease upon the death of the co-payee.
 
Benefits at Maturity
 
If the insured is living and the Policy is in force, the Policy will mature on the Policy anniversary nearest the insured's 100th birthday. This is the maturity date. On the maturity date we will pay you the net surrender value of your Policy.

If you send a written request to our mailing address, we will extend the maturity date if your Policy is still in force on the maturity date. Any riders in force on the scheduled maturity date will terminate on that date and will not be extended.
 
Policy loans, partial withdrawals, and subaccount transfers may continue during the extension. Interest on any outstanding Policy loans will continue to accrue during the period for which the maturity date is extended. You must submit a written request to our mailing address for the extension between 90 and 180 days prior to the maturity date and elect one of the following:
 
    1.
If you had previously selected death benefit Option B or C, we will change the death benefit to Option A. On each valuation date, we will adjust the specified amount to equal the cash value, and the limitation percentage will be 100%. We will not permit you to make additional premium payments unless it is required to prevent the Policy from lapsing. We will waive all future monthly deductions; or
    2.
We will automatically extend the maturity date until the next Policy anniversary. You must submit a written request to our mailing address, between 90 and 180 days before each subsequent Policy anniversary, stating that you wish to extend the maturity date for another Policy year. All benefits and charges will continue as set forth in your Policy. We will charge the then current cost of insurance rates.

If you choose 2 above, you may change your election to 1 above at any time. However, if you choose 1 above, then you may not change your election to 2 above.  Please note:  Item 2 above may not be available in all states, or its terms may vary depending on a state's insurance law requirements.

The tax consequences of extending the maturity date beyond the 100th birthday of the insured are uncertain, and may include taxation of the gain in the Policy at the original maturity date or taxation of the death benefit in whole or in part. You should consult a tax advisor as to those consequences.
 
Payments We Make
 
We usually pay the amounts of any surrender, cash withdrawal, death benefit proceeds, or settlement options within seven calendar days after we receive all applicable written notices and/or due proofs of death, in good order, at our administrative office. However, we can postpone such payments if any of the following occurs:

       ·
The NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closing, or trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC.
       ·
The SEC permits, by an order, the postponement for the protection of policyowners.
       ·
The SEC determines that an emergency exists that would make the disposal of securities held in the separate account or the determination of their value not reasonably practicable.
       ·
When mandated by applicable law.

In addition, pursuant to SEC rules,  if either the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP portfolio or the ProFund VP Money Market portfolio suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of such portfolio, we will delay payment of any transfer, partial withdrawal, surrender, loan, or death benefit from the Transamerica AEGON Money Market subaccount or the ProFund VP Money Market subaccount until the portfolio is liquidated.

If you have submitted a recent check or draft, we have the right to defer payment of surrenders, cash withdrawals, death benefit proceeds, or payments under a settlement option until such check or draft has been honored. We also reserve the right to defer payment of transfers, cash withdrawals, death benefit proceeds, or surrenders from the fixed account for up to six months.
 
If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to reject a premium payment and/or block a policyowner's account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, loans or death benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulators.  We may also be required to provide additional information about you or your account to governmental regulators.
 
Split Dollar Arrangements
 
You may enter into a split dollar arrangement with another owner or another person(s) whereby the payment of premiums and the right to receive the benefits under the Policy (i.e., net surrender value of insurance proceeds) are split between the parties. There are different ways of allocating these rights.
 
For example, an employer and employee might agree that under a Policy on the life of the employee, the employer will pay the premiums and will have the right to receive the net surrender value. The employee may designate the beneficiary to receive any insurance proceeds in excess of the net surrender value. If the employee dies while such an arrangement is in effect, the employer would receive from the insurance proceeds the amount that he would have been entitled to receive upon surrender of the Policy and the employee's beneficiary would receive the balance of the proceeds.
 
No transfer of Policy rights pursuant to a split dollar arrangement will be binding on us unless in writing and received by us at our mailing address. Split dollar arrangements may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before entering into a split dollar arrangement.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act  (the “Act”) was enacted in 2002 .  The Act prohibits, with limited exceptions, publicly-traded companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on exchanges in the United States, from extending, directly or through a subsidiary, many types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers.  It is possible that this prohibition may be interpreted as applying to split-dollar life insurance policies for directors and executive officers of such companies, since such insurance arguably can be viewed as involving a loan from the employer for at least some purposes.
 
Although the prohibition on loans of publicly-traded companies was generally effective as of July 30, 2002, there is an exception for loans outstanding as of the date of enactment, as long as there is no material modification to the loan terms and the loan is not renewed after July 30, 2002.  Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing Policy, or the purchase of a new Policy, in connection with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.
 
In addition, the IRS issued guidance that affects the tax treatment of split-dollar arrangements and the Treasury Department issued final regulations that would significantly affect the tax treatment of such arrangements.  The IRS guidance and the final regulations affect all split dollar arrangements, not just those involving publicly-traded companies.  Consult your qualified tax advisor with respect to the effect of this current and proposed guidance on your split dollar policy.
 
 
Policy Termination
 
Your Policy will terminate on the earliest of:
 

·
The date the Policy matures;
·
The date the Policy lapses;
·
The date we receive, in good order, your written request to surrender or terminate; or
·
The date of the insured’s death.

Assignment of the Policy
 
  You may assign your Policy by filing a written request with us.  We will not be bound by any assignment until we record it in our records. Unless otherwise specified by you, the assignment will then take effect on the date the assignment is signed by you, subject to any payments made or actions taken by us prior to our recording of the assignment.  We assume no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment of the Policy or of any interest in it. Any death benefit which becomes payable to an assignee will be payable in a single sum and will be subject to proof of the assignee’s interest and the extent of the assignment.

Supplemental Benefits (Riders)         

The following supplemental benefits (riders) are available and may be added to your Policy. Monthly charges for these riders are deducted from the cash value as part of the monthly deductions. The riders available with the Policies do not build cash value and provide benefits that do not vary with the investment experience of the separate account. These riders may not be available in all states; certain benefits and features may vary by state and they may be available under a different name in some states. Adding these supplemental benefits to an existing Policy, or canceling them, may have tax consequences; you should consult a tax advisor before doing so.

Primary Insured Rider ("PIR") and Primary Insured Rider Plus ("PIR Plus")

Under the PIR and the PIR Plus, we provide term insurance coverage on a different basis from the coverage in your Policy.
Features of PIR and PIR Plus:
·
The rider increases the Policy's death benefit by the rider's specified amount.
 
·
The PIR may be purchased for issue ages 0-85.
 
·
The PIR Plus may be purchased from issue ages 18-85.
 
·
The PIR terminates when the insured turns 95, and the PIR Plus terminates when the insured turns 90.
 
·
The minimum purchase amount for the PIR and PIR Plus is $25,000. There is no maximum purchase amount.
 
·
We do not assess any additional surrender charge for PIR and PIR Plus.
 
·
Generally PIR and PIR Plus coverage costs less than the insurance coverage under the Policy, but has no cash value.
 
·
You may cancel or reduce your rider coverage without decreasing your Policy's specified amount.
 
·
You may generally decrease your specified amount without reducing your rider coverage.
     
Conditions to convert the rider:
·
Your request must be in writing and sent to our mailing address, in good order.
 
·
The primary insured has not reached his/her 70th birthday.
 
·
The new policy is any permanent insurance policy that we currently offer for conversions.
 
·
Subject to the minimum specified amount required for the new policy, the amount of the insurance under the new policy will equal the specified amount in force under the rider as long as it meets the minimum specified amount requirements of a Base Policy.
 
·
We will base your premium on the primary insured's rate class under the rider.
     
Termination of the rider:
The rider will terminate on the earliest of:
   
 
·
When the insured turns 95 for a PIR, and when the insured turns 90 for a PIR Plus; or
 
·
The date the Policy terminates; or
 
·
The date you fully convert the rider; or
 
·
The Monthiversary when the rider terminates upon the owner’s written request.

It may cost you less to reduce your PIR or PIR Plus coverage than to decrease your Policy’s specified amount because we do not deduct a surrender charge in connection with your PIR or PIR Plus.  It may cost you more to keep a higher specified amount under the Policy, because the specified amount may have a cost of insurance that is higher than the cost of the same amount of coverage under your PIR or PIR Plus.  Any changes to the coverage of this rider may affect your minimum monthly guarantee premium.  Please refer to the applicable fee tables for your Policy to determine the charges for these riders.

You should consult your registered representative to determine if you would benefit from PIR or PIR Plus. We may discontinue offering PIR or PIR Plus at any time. We may also modify the terms of this rider for new policies.

Other Insured Rider

This rider may insure the spouse and/or dependent children of the primary insured.  Subject to the terms of the rider, we will pay the specified amount of the rider to the primary insured, or to the selected beneficiary for 2001 C .

Children's Insurance Rider
 
 This rider provides insurance on the primary insured’s children who are between the ages of 15 days and 18 years old on the effective date of the rider or when later added to the rider due to birth or legal adoption. The coverage for any insured child will terminate on the Monthiversary following that child’s 25th birthday (or that child’s death , if sooner) .

Our minimum face amount for this rider is $2,000 and the maximum face amount is $10,000. We will pay a death benefit once we receive proof in good order at our mailing address that the insured child died while the rider was in force for that child. At each insured child’s age 25 this rider may be converted to a new policy for five times the face amount of the rider. If the primary insured dies while the rider is in force, we will terminate the rider 31 days after the death, and we will offer a separate life insurance policy to each insured child for an amount equal to the face amount of the rider.
 
Accidental Death Benefit Rider
 
Available to primary insured issue ages 15-59, the minimum specified amount for this rider is $10,000. The maximum specified amount available for this rider is the lesser of (i) $150,000 or (ii) 150% of the Policy's specified amount.

Subject to certain limitations, we will pay the specified amount if the primary insured's death results solely from accidental bodily injury where:

    ·
The death is caused by external, violent, and accidental means.
    ·
The death occurs within 90 days of the accident.
    ·
The death occurs while the rider is in force.

The rider will terminate on the earliest of:

    ·
The Policy anniversary nearest the primary insured's 70th birthday; or
    ·
The date the Policy terminates; or
    ·
The Monthiversary when this rider is terminated upon the owner's written request.

Disability Waiver Rider

Subject to certain conditions, we will waive the Policy's monthly deductions while the primary insured is disabled. This rider may be purchased if the primary insured’s issue age is 15-55 years of age. We must receive proof, in good order, at our mailing address that:

    ·
The primary insured is totally disabled.
    ·
The rider was in force when the primary insured became disabled.
    ·
The primary insured became disabled before the Policy anniversary nearest the insured’s 60th birthday.
    ·
The primary insured is continuously disabled for at least six months.

We will not waive any deduction that becomes due more than one year before we receive written notice of your claim at our mailing address.
 
Disability Waiver and Income Rider
 
This rider has the same benefits as the Disability Waiver Rider, but adds a monthly income benefit for up to 120 months. This rider may be purchased if the primary insured’s issue age is 15-55 years of age. The minimum income amount for this rider is $10/month. The maximum income amount is the lesser of 0.2% of your specified amount or $300 per month.
 
Living Benefit Rider (an Accelerated Death Benefit)
 
This rider allows us to pay all or a portion of the death benefit once we receive proof, in good order, at our mailing address that the primary insured is ill and has a life expectancy of one year or less. A doctor must certify the insured's life expectancy.
 
We will pay a "single-sum benefit" equal to:
 
    ·
The death benefit on the date we pay the single-sum benefit; multiplied by
    ·
The election percentage of the death benefit you elect to receive (“election percentage”); divided by
    ·
1 + i ("i" equals the current yield on 90-day Treasury bills or the Policy loan interest rate, whichever is greater) (“discount factor”); minus
    ·
Any indebtedness at the time we pay the single-sum benefit, multiplied by the election percentage.

The maximum terminal illness death benefit used to determine the single-sum benefit as defined above is equal to:
 
    ·
The death benefit available under the Policy once we receive satisfactory proof that the insured is ill; plus
    ·
The benefit available under any PIR or PIR Plus in force.

 
A single-sum benefit may not be greater than $500,000 .
 
The election percentage is a percentage that you select. It may not be greater than 100%.
 
The rider terminates at the earliest of:
 
    ·
The date the Policy terminates.
    ·
The date a settlement option takes effect.
    ·
The date we pay a single-sum benefit.
    ·
The date you terminate the rider.

We will not pay a benefit under the rider if the insured's terminal condition results from self-inflicted injuries that occur during the period specified in your Policy's suicide provision.

We do not assess an administrative charge for this rider; however, if the rider is exercised, we do reduce the single sum benefit by a discount factor to compensate us for expected lost income due to the early payment of the death benefit. The terms of this rider may vary depending on a state’s insurance law requirements.

For example, suppose before the owner elects the single sum benefit, a Policy has a $400,000 death benefit and a $10,000 loan balance.  Suppose that the current yield on 90-day Treasury bills is 6.00% and the Policy loan interest rate is 3.75%.  Because the greater of these is 6%, that is the interest rate that will be used to discount the single sum benefit.  The owner elects to accelerate 50% of the death benefit, so the single sum benefit equals $183,679.25, which is ($400,000 x 0.50 / 1.06) - ($10,000 x 0.50). After the acceleration, the remaining death benefit is $200,000, which is 50% of $400,000, and all Policy values will be reduced by 50%.

NOTE: Before adding this rider to an existing Policy or  requesting payment under the rider,  you should consult a tax advisor to discuss the tax consequences of doing so.
 
 
Additional Information                                                                                                                                                     

Unclaimed or Abandoned Property

Every state has unclaimed property laws that generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed property (including proceeds of annuity, life and other insurance policies) under various circumstances. In addition to the state unclaimed property laws, we may be required to escheat property pursuant to regulatory demand, finding, agreement or settlement. To help prevent such escheatment, it is important that you keep your contact and other information on file with us up to date, including the names, contact information and identifying information for owners, insureds, annuitants, beneficiaries and other payees. Such updates should be communicated in a form and manner satisfactory to us.

 
Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order
 
We cannot process your instructions to process a transaction relating to your Policy until we have received your instructions in good order at our mailing address (or our administrative office or website, as appropriate).  "Good order" means the actual receipt by us of the instructions relating to a transaction in writing or, when appropriate, by telephone or facsimile, or electronically, along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation (including any required spousal or joint owner's consents) we require in order to effect the transaction.  To be in "good order," instructions must be sufficiently clear so that we do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instructions.
 
 
Sale of the Policies
 
 
Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement.  TCI, our affiliate, serves as principal underwriter for the Policies pursuant to the terms of a  principal underwriting and distribution agreement for the distribution and sale of the Policies.   We pay commissions to TCI, which are passed on to selling firms (see below) and reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the Policies (e.g., commissions paid to firms selling the Policies, as described below).

Compensation to Broker-Dealers Selling the Policies.  The Policies are offered to the public through broker-dealers ("selling firms") that are licensed under the federal securities laws; the selling firm and/or its affiliates are also licensed under state insurance laws.  The selling firms have entered into written selling agreements with us and with TCI as principal underwriter for the Policies.  We pay commissions through TCI to the selling firms for their sales of the Policies.

A limited number of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers, including TFA, may also be paid commissions and overrides to “wholesale” the Policies, that is, to provide sales support and training to sales representatives at selling firms.  We may also provide compensation to a limited number of broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to Policies that have already been purchased.

The selling firms are paid commissions for the promotion and sale of the Policies according to one or more schedules.  The amount and timing of commissions may vary depending on the selling agreement. The sales commission paid to broker-dealers during 201 2 was, on average 64% of all premiums paid during the first Policy year, plus 3% of all premiums made during Policy years 2 – 10.  We will pay an additional trail commission of up to 0.30% of the Policy's subaccount value (excluding the fixed account) on the Policy anniversary if the cash value (minus amounts attributable to loans) equals at least $5,000. Additional sales commissions may also be payable on premiums paid as a result of an increase in specified amount.  Some selling firms may be required to return part of first year commissions if the Policy is not continued through the first two Policy years.

To the extent permitted by FINRA rules, Western Reserve, TFA, and other affiliated parties may pay (or allow other broker-dealers to provide) promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or non-cash compensation or reimbursement to some, but not all, selling firms and their sales representatives.  These arrangements, which may be referred to as revenue sharing arrangements, are described further below.

The sales representative who sells you the Policy typically receives a portion of the compensation we (and our affiliates) pay to his or her selling firms, depending on the agreement between the selling firm and its sales representative and the firm’s internal compensation program.  These programs may include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits.  Ask your sales representative for further information about the compensation your sales representative and the selling firm that employs your sales representative, may receive in connection with your purchase of a Policy.  Also inquire about any revenue sharing arrangements that we and our affiliates may have with the selling firm, including the conflicts of interests that such arrangements may create.

Special Compensation for Affiliated Wholesaling and Selling Firms.  Our parent company provides paid-in capital to TCI and pays the cost of TCI’s operating and other expenses, including costs for facilities, legal and accounting services, and other internal administrative functions.

Western Reserve’s main distribution channel is TFA , an affiliate, which sells Western Reserve products. (Note:  Effective January 6, 2012, our affiliate, World Group Securities (“WGS”) merged with TFA.)  Western Reserve covers the cost of TFA’s various facilities, third-party services and internal administrative functions, including employee salaries, sales representative training and computer systems that are provided directly to TFA.  These facilities and services are necessary for TFA’s administration and operation, and Western Reserve is compensated by TFA for these expenses based on TFA’s usage.  In addition, Western Reserve and other affiliates pay for certain sales expenses of TFA, including the costs of preparing and producing prospectuses and sales promotional materials for the Policy.

Sales representatives and their managers at TFA may receive directly or indirectly additional cash benefits and non-cash compensation or reimbursements from us or our affiliates.  Additional compensation or reimbursement arrangements may include payments in connection with TFA’s conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited selling representatives and other employees, seminars for the public, trips (such as travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items, and payments, loans or loan guaranties to assist a firm or representative in connection with systems, operating, marketing and other business expenses.  The amounts may be significant and may provide us with increased access to the sales representatives.

In addition, TFA’s managers and/or sales representatives who meet certain productivity standards may be eligible for additional compensation.  Sales of the Policies by affiliated selling firms may help sales representatives and/or their managers qualify for certain cash and non-cash benefits, and may provide such persons with special incentive to sell our Policies.  For example, TFA’s registered representatives, general agents, marketing directors and supervisors may be eligible to participate in a voluntary stock purchase plan that permits participants to purchase stock of AEGON N.V. (Western Reserve’s ultimate parent) by allocating a portion of the commissions they earn to purchase such shares.  A portion of the contributions of commissions by TFA’s representatives may be matched by TFA. TFA’s sales representatives may also be eligible to participate in a stock option and award plan.  Sales representatives who meet certain production goals will be issued options on the stock of AEGON N.V.

Additional Compensation that We Pay to Selected Selling Firms.  We may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for “preferred product” treatment of the Policies in their marketing programs in order to receive enhanced marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives.  In exchange for providing us with access to their distribution network, such selling firms may receive additional compensation or reimbursement for, among other things, the hiring and training of sales personnel, marketing, sponsoring of conferences and seminars, and/or other services they provide to us and our affiliates.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, we and other parties may allow other non-cash incentives and compensation to be paid to these selling firms.  These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ among selling firms.

Special compensation arrangements are calculated in different ways by different selling firms and may be based on past or anticipated sales of the Policies or other criteria.  Overrides were offered as incentives to our affiliates, TFA and Life Investors Financial Group, in 201 2 .

No specific charge is assessed directly to policyowners or the separate account to cover commissions and other incentives or payments described above.  We do intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses and incentives we pay, however, through fees and charges deducted under the Policy and other corporate revenue.

You should be aware that a selling firm or its sales representatives may receive different compensation or incentives for selling one product over another.  In some cases, these differences may create an incentive for the selling firm or its sales representatives to recommend or sell the Policy to you.  You may wish to take such incentives into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the Policies.

We, like other life insurance companies, are subject to regulatory and legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, in the ordinary course of our business.  Such legal and regulatory matters include proceedings specific to us and other proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industry in which we operate.  In some lawsuits and regulatory proceedings involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, at the present time, we believe that there are no pending or threatened proceedings or lawsuits that are likely to have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI’s ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the Policy.
 
We are currently being audited on behalf of multiple states' treasury and controllers' offices for compliance with laws and regulations concerning the identification, reporting and escheatment of unclaimed benefits or abandoned funds. The audits focus on insurance company processes and procedures for identifying unreported death claims, and their use of the Social Security Master Death File to identify deceased Policy and contract holders. In addition, we are the subject of multiple state Insurance Department inquiries and market conduct examinations with a similar focus on the handling of unreported claims and abandoned property. The audits and related examination activity may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, escheatment of funds deemed abandoned, administrative penalties and changes in our procedures for the identification of unreported claims and handling of escheatable property. We do not believe that any regulatory actions or agreements that result from these examinations will have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI’s ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the Policy.

(This restriction does not apply to transfers to the fixed account necessary in the exercise of conversion rights).
   
minimum monthly guarantee premium
The amount shown on the Policy schedule page that we use during the no lapse period to determine whether a grace period will begin. We will adjust the minimum monthly guarantee premium if you change death benefit options, increase or decrease the specified amount, or add, terminate, increase or decrease a rider, and you may need to pay additional premiums in order to keep the no lapse guarantee in place.  A grace period will begin whenever your net surrender value is not enough to meet monthly deductions and the no lapse period guarantee is no longer in effect.

We place your net premium in the reallocation account (or as mandated by state law) only if your state requires us to return the full premium in the event you exercise your free-look right. In those states, we set the reallocation date to coincide with the free-look period that is applicable to your Policy plus a margin of five days for Policy delivery.  In all other states, the reallocation date is the later of the Policy date or the record date.
   
record date
The date we record your Policy on our books and your Policy is issued. The record date is generally the Policy date, unless the Policy is backdated.

The initial specified amount of life insurance that you have selected is shown on the Policy's schedule page that you receive when the Policy is issued. The specified amount in force is the initial specified amount, adjusted for any increases or decreases in the Policy's specified amount.

* The factor on any date other than a Policy anniversary, or anniversary of an increase in specified amount, will be determined proportionately using the factor at the end of the year prior to surrender, and the factor at the end of the year of surrender.

Surrender Charge Example: Assume a male non-tobacco user purchases the Policy at issue age 30 with a specified amount of $100,000. The Policy is surrendered in Policy year 5. The surrender charge per $1,000 of specified amount is $17.13. This is multiplied by the surrender charge factor of 0.99.

FOR POLICIES APPLIED FOR ON OR AFTER SEPTEMBER 22, 2008
Appendix B - Illustrations

The following illustrations show how certain values under a sample Policy would change with different rates of fictional investment performance over an extended period of time.  In particular, the illustrations show how the death benefit, cash value, and net surrender value under a Policy issued to an insured of a given age, would change over time if the premiums indicated were paid and the return on the assets in the subaccounts were a uniform gross annual rate (before any expenses) of 0%, 6% or 10%.  The tables illustrate Policy value that would result based on assumptions that you pay the premiums indicated, you do not change your specified amount, and you do not take any cash withdrawals or Policy loans.  The values under the Policy will be different from those shown even if the returns averaged 0%, 6% or 10%, but fluctuated over and under those averages throughout the years shown.

The first of the illustrations that follows is based on a Policy for an insured who is a 35 year old male in the Ultimate Select rate class (the “representative insured”), annual premium paid on the first day of each Policy year of $2,328, a $300,000 initial specified amount and death benefit Option A.  That illustration also assumes cost of insurance charges based on our current cost of insurance rates.

The second illustration that follows is based on the same factors as those reflected in the first illustration except the cost of insurance charges are based on the guaranteed cost of insurance rates and expenses (based on the Commissioners 2001 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table).

The amounts shown in the illustrations for the death benefits, cash values and net surrender values take into account the amount and timing of all Policy, subaccount and portfolio fees assessed under the Policy.  The current illustration reflects the current charges for the Policy and the guaranteed illustration reflects the guaranteed charges for a Policy.  These fees are:

(1) The daily charge for assuming mortality and expense risks assessed against each subaccount.  This charge is equivalent to an annual charge of 1.50% of the average net assets of the subaccounts during the first 15 Policy years; we may reduce this charge to 0.75% (annually) in the 16th Policy year, but we do not guarantee that we will do so, and we reserve the right to maintain this charge at the 1.50% level after the 15th Policy year ;
(2) The estimated daily expenses equivalent to an effective arithmetic average annual expense level of 1.26 % of the portfolios’ gross average daily net assets.  The 1.26 % gross average portfolio expense level assumes an equal allocation of amounts among the 67 subaccounts available to new investors.  We used annualized actual audited expenses incurred during 201 2 for the portfolios to calculate the gross average annual expense level ; and
(3) The premium expense charge (6.0% of all premium payments during the first ten Policy years on Policies with a specified amount in force of less than $250,000 and 4% on Policies with a specified amount in force of $250,000 - $499,999, and 2.5% of all premiums paid thereafter on Policies with a specified amount less than $500,000) and monthly deductions using the current monthly Policy charge.

The hypothetical returns shown in the tables are provided only to illustrate the mechanics of a hypothetical policy and do not represent past or future investment rates of return.  Tax charges that may be attributable to the separate account are not reflected because we are not currently assessing such charges.   If tax charges are deducted in the future, the separate account would have to earn a sufficient amount in excess of 0%, 6% or 10% or cover any tax charges to produce after tax returns of 0%, 6% or 10%.  Your actual rates of return for a particular Policy likely will be more or less than the hypothetical investment rates of return.  The actual return on your cash value will depend on factors such as the amounts you allocate to particular portfolios, the amounts deducted for the Policy’s monthly charges and other charges, the portfolios’ expense ratios, and your loan and withdrawal history, in addition to the actual investment experience of the portfolios.

We will furnish the owner, upon request, a personalized illustration reflecting the proposed insured’s age, gender, risk classification and desired Policy features.  Contact your registered representative or our administrative office.  (See prospectus back cover – “Inquiries.”)

In order to supplement the description in the prospectus, the following provides additional information about Western Reserve and the Policy, which may be of interest to a prospective purchaser.

The Policy – General Provisions 

Ownership Rights

The Policy belongs to the owner named in the application. The owner may exercise all of the rights and options described in the Policy. The owner is the insured unless the application specifies a different person as the insured. If the owner dies before the insured and no contingent owner is named, then ownership of the Policy will pass to the owner's estate. The owner may exercise certain rights described below.

Changing the Owner
·
Change the owner by providing written notice to us in good order, at our mailing address at any time while the insured is alive and the Policy is in force.
 
·
Change is effective as of the date that the written notice is accepted by us at our mailing address.
 
·
Changing the owner does not automatically change the beneficiary.
 
·
Changing the owner may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before changing the owner.
 
·
We are not liable for payments we made before we received the written notice at our mailing address.

Choosing the Beneficiary
·
The owner designates the beneficiary (the person to receive the death benefit when the insured dies) in the application.
 
·
If the owner designates more than one beneficiary, then each beneficiary shares equally in any death benefit proceeds unless the beneficiary designation states otherwise.
 
·
If the beneficiary dies before the insured, then any contingent beneficiary becomes the beneficiary.
 
·
If both the beneficiary and contingent beneficiary die before the insured, then the death benefit will be paid to the owner or the owner's estate upon the insured's death.

Changing the Beneficiary
·
The owner changes the beneficiary by providing written notice to us in good order, at our mailing address.
 
·
Change is effective as of the date the owner signs the written notice.
 
·
We are not liable for any payments we made before we received the written notice at our mailing address.

Assigning the Policy
·
The owner may assign Policy rights while the insured is alive.
 
·
The owner retains any ownership rights that are not assigned.
 
·
Assignee may not change the owner or the beneficiary, and may not elect or change an optional method of payment. Any amount payable to the assignee will be paid in a lump sum.
 
·
Claims under any assignment are subject to proof of interest and the extent of the assignment.
 
·
We are not:
   
>
bound by any assignment unless we receive a written notice of the assignment at our mailing address;
   
>
responsible for the validity of any assignment;
   
>
liable for any payment we made before we received written notice of the assignment at our mailing address; or
   
>
bound by any assignment which results in adverse tax consequences to the owner, insured(s) or beneficiary(ies).
 
·
Assigning the Policy may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before assigning the Policy.



 
 

 


Our Right to Contest the Policy

In issuing this Policy, we rely on all statements made by or for the insured in the application or in a supplemental application. Therefore, if you make any material misrepresentation of a fact in the application (or any supplemental application), then we may contest the Policy's validity or may resist a claim under the Policy for two years from the Policy date. For any portion of the specified amount that is issued as a result of a conversion, the contestability period is measured from the later of the policy date of the policy that was converted or the latest effective date of reinstatement of the converted policy.

A new two year contestability period shall apply to each increase in specified amount beginning on the effective date of each increase and will apply only to statements made in the application for the increase.

In the absence of fraud, we cannot bring any legal action to contest the validity of the Policy after the Policy (or requested increase in specified amount) has been in force during the insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy date, or if reinstated, for two years from the date of reinstatement. For any portion of the specified amount that is issued as a result of a conversion, the suicide period is measured from the later of the policy date of the policy that was converted or the latest effective date of reinstatement of the converted policy.

Suicide Exclusion

If the insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the Policy date (or two years from the reinstatement date, if the Policy lapses and is reinstated), the Policy will terminate and our liability is limited to an amount equal to the premiums paid, less any outstanding loan amount, and less any cash withdrawals. We will pay this amount to the owner in one sum.

If the insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the effective date of any increase in specified amount, our liability with respect to such increase will be limited to its cost of insurance.

Misstatement of Age or Gender

If the age or gender of the insured was stated incorrectly in the application or any supplemental application, then the death benefit will be adjusted based on what the cost of insurance charge for the most recent monthly deduction would have purchased based on the insured's correct age and gender.

Modifying the Policy

Only our President or Secretary may modify the Policy or waive any of our rights or requirements under the Policy. Any modification or waiver must be in writing. No registered representative may bind us by making any promise not contained in the Policy.

If we modify the Policy, we will provide you notice and we will make appropriate endorsements to the Policy.

Mixed and Shared Funding

Shares of the portfolios are sold to other separate accounts that we (or our affiliates) establish to support other variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies we (or our affiliates) issue.  Shares of some portfolios are also sold to separate accounts of unaffiliated life insurance companies.  It is possible in the future that you may be disadvantaged when the separate account invests in a portfolio that also (1) invests in separate accounts of unaffiliated life insurance companies, and (2) invests in separate accounts (including those of our affiliates) funding variable annuity contracts.

Neither we nor the funds currently foresee that you would be disadvantaged in this manner.  Each fund’s board of directors/trustees monitors its fund to identify any material conflicts that may arise between the interests of owners of variable annuity contracts and those of owners of variable life insurance policies, as well as between the interests of owners of contracts issued by different unaffiliated life insurance companies (“material conflicts”).  Such boards of directors/trustees are obligated to determine what action, if any, must be taken to resolve any material conflicts that arise.  Such action could include requiring the separate account, or separate accounts of affiliated or unaffiliated insurance companies, to withdraw their investments in a portfolio and such withdrawals could have adverse consequences to owners.  In addition, we have entered into an agreement with each fund on behalf of the separate account governing the separate account’s investment in that fund’s portfolios (the “participation agreement”).  The participation agreement contains provisions designed to protect owners in the event of material conflicts.

Material conflicts affecting owners could result in a number of situations including: (1) differences in state insurance law applicable to different life insurance companies whose separate accounts are invested in a portfolio; (2) changes in tax law or regulations that result in changes to a portfolio that have a disparate effect on different life insurance companies whose separate accounts are invested in the portfolio, or on different types of variable contracts invested in the portfolio; (3) actions or omissions by a fund that operate to the advantage of one group of variable contract owners at the expense of another group or groups; (4) changes to a portfolio approved at a shareholders’ meeting as a result of voting by one group of variable contract owners to the disadvantage of another group or groups;  and (5) disparate provisions in the participation agreements of different unaffiliated insurance companies or the pursuit of remedies under such an agreement by one insurance company to the detriment of one or more other insurance companies.
 
 

 

Notwithstanding our reasonable efforts and those of the funds, there is the risk that actions or omissions of the fund in response to material conflicts may disadvantage our policyowners.  If we believe that a fund’s response to any of these events or conflicts is insufficient to protect our policyowners, we will undertake appropriate actions on our own, which may include withdrawing the separate account’s investments in the fund.

If a fund's Board of Directors/Trustees were to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life insurance and variable annuity separate accounts, Western Reserve will bear the attendant expenses, but variable life insurance policyowners and variable annuity contract owners would no longer have the economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund.

Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Portfolios
 
 
We do not guarantee that each portfolio will always be available for investment through the Policy. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to add new portfolios, close existing portfolios, or substitute portfolio shares that are held by any subaccount for shares of a different portfolio. New or substitute portfolios may have different fees and expenses and their availability may be limited to certain classes of purchasers. We will only add, delete or substitute shares of another portfolio of a fund (or of another open-end, registered investment company) if the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in our judgment further investment in any portfolio would become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the separate account. We will not add, delete or substitute any shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. We may also decide to purchase securities from other portfolios for the separate account.  We reserve the right to transfer separate account assets to another separate account that we determine to be associated with the class of contracts to which the Policy belongs.

We also reserve the right to establish additional subaccounts of the separate account, each of which would invest in a new portfolio of a fund, or in shares of another investment company, with specified investment objectives. We may establish new subaccounts when, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax or investment conditions warrant. We will make any new subaccounts available to existing owners on a basis we determine. We may also eliminate one or more subaccounts for the same reasons as stated above.

In the event of any such substitution or change, we may make such changes in this and other policies as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. If we deem it to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the Policies, and when permitted by law, the separate account may be (1) operated as a management company under the 1940 Act, (2) deregistered under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required, (3) managed under the direction of a committee, or (4) combined with one or more other separate accounts, or subaccounts.

Additional Information 

Additional Information about Western Reserve and the Separate Account

Western Reserve is a stock life insurance company is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation, which conducts most of its operations through subsidiary companies engaged in the insurance business or in providing non-insurance financial services.  All of the stock of Transamerica Corporation is indirectly owned by AEGON N.V. of the Netherlands, a public company under Dutch law.  Western Reserve's administrative office is located at 570 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716-1202 and the mailing address is 4333 Edgewood Road, N.E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52499.

Western Reserve was initially incorporated in 1957 under the laws of Ohio and is subject to regulation by the Insurance Department of the State of Ohio, as well as by the insurance departments of all other states and jurisdictions in which it does business. Western Reserve is licensed to sell insurance in all states (except New York), Puerto Rico, Guam, and in the District of Columbia. Western Reserve submits annual statements on its operations and finances to insurance officials in all states and jurisdictions in which it does business. The Policy described in the prospectus has been filed with, and where required, approved by, insurance officials in those jurisdictions in which it is sold.

Western Reserve established the separate account as a separate investment account under Ohio law in 1985. We own the assets in the separate account and are obligated to pay all benefits under the Policies. The separate account is used to support other life insurance policies of Western Reserve, as well as for other purposes permitted by law. The separate account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act and qualifies as a "separate account" within the meaning of the federal securities laws.

Western Reserve holds the assets of the separate account physically segregated and apart from the general account. Western Reserve maintains records of all purchases and sales of portfolio shares by each of the subaccounts. A blanket bond was issued to AEGON USA, Inc. ("AEGON USA") in the aggregate amount of $12 million, covering all of the employees of AEGON USA and its affiliates, including Western Reserve. A Stockbrokers Blanket Bond, issued to AEGON U.S.A. Securities, Inc. providing fidelity coverage, covers the activities of registered representatives of TCI to a limit of $10 million.

Legal Matters

 Arthur D. Woods, Vice President and Senior Counsel of Western Reserve, has provided legal advice on certain matters in connection with the issuance of the Policy.

Variations in Policy Provisions

Certain provisions of the Policy may vary from the descriptions in the prospectus, depending on when and where the Policy was issued, in order to comply with different state laws. These variations may include differences in charges, or Policy features may be unavailable or known by a different name.  Please refer to your Policy; any variations will be included in your Policy or in riders or endorsements attached to your Policy.

Personalized Illustrations of Policy Benefits

In order to help you understand how your Policy values would vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with certain personalized illustrations upon request. These will be based on the age and insurance risk characteristics of the insured persons under your Policy and such factors as the specified amount, death benefit option, premium payment amounts, and rates of return (within limits) that you request.

The illustrations are not a representation or guarantee of investment returns or cash value. You may request illustrations that reflect the expenses of the portfolios in which you intend to invest.

Sale of the Policies
 
We currently offer the Policies on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the Policies, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering.

Our affiliate, TCI serves as principal underwriter for the Policies.  TCI’s home office is located at 4600 S. Syracuse Street, Suite 1100, Denver, Colorado 80237.  TCI is an affiliate of Western Reserve and, like Western Reserve, is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON USA.  TCI is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).  TCI is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

The Policies are offered to the public through sales representatives of broker-dealers ("selling firms") that have entered into selling agreements with us and with TCI.  Sales representatives are appointed as our insurance agents.

During fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, the amounts paid to TCI in connection with all Policies sold through the separate account were $14,916,446,$17,156.676, and $20,084,068,respectively.   TCI passes through to selling firms commissions it receives to selling firms for their sales, and does not retain any portion of any commissions.  Our parent company provides paid-in capital to TCI and pays for TCI's (and paid for AFSG’s) operating and other expenses, including overhead, legal and accounting fees.

We and/or TCI or Transamerica Financial Advisors Inc. (“TFA”)  may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for:  (1) “preferred product” treatment of the Policies in their marketing programs, which may include marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives; (2) sales promotions relating to the Policies; (3) costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their sales representatives; and (4) other expenses of the firm.  These additional payments are not offered to all selling firms, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among selling firms.

Reports to Owners

At least once each year, or more often as required by law, we will mail to policyowners at their last known address a report showing the following information as of the end of the report period:

>
the current cash value
>
any activity since the last report
>
the current net surrender value
>
projected values
>
the current death benefit
>
investment experience of each subaccount
>
outstanding loans
>
any other information required by law

You may request additional copies of reports, but we may charge a fee for such additional copies. In addition, we will send written confirmations of any premium payments and other financial transactions you request including: changes in specified amount, changes in death benefit option, transfers, partial withdrawals, increases in loan amount, loan interest payments, loan repayments, lapses and reinstatements. We also will send copies of the annual and semi-annual report to shareholders for each portfolio in which you are indirectly invested.

Records

We will maintain all records relating to the separate account and the fixed account.

Underwriters 

Underwriting Standards

The Policy uses mortality tables that distinguish between men and women. As a result, the Policy pays different benefits to men and women of the same age. Montana prohibits our use of actuarial tables that distinguish between males and females to determine premiums and policy benefits for policies issued on the lives of its residents. Therefore, we will base the premiums and benefits in Policies that we issue in Montana, to insure residents of that state, on actuarial tables that do not differentiate on the basis of gender.

Your cost of insurance charge  is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the insured's gender, issue age on the Policy date, issue age at the time of any increase in specified amount, specified amount band, length of time from the Policy date or from the date of any increase in specified amount, and underwriting class.   We currently place insureds into the following underwriting classes:

·
ultimate select (preferred) non-tobacco use;
·
select (non-preferred) non-tobacco use;
·
ultimate standard (preferred) tobacco use;
·
standard (non-preferred) tobacco use; and
·
juvenile-under 18.

We also place insureds in various sub-standard underwriting classes, which involve a higher mortality risk and higher charges. We generally charge higher rates for insureds who use tobacco. We currently charge lower cost of insurance rates for insureds who are in an "ultimate class." An ultimate class is only available if our underwriting guidelines require you to take a blood test because of the specified amount you have chosen.

Performance Data 

Other Performance Data in Advertising Sales Literature

We may compare each subaccount's performance to the performance of:
·
other variable life issuers in general;
·
variable life insurance policies which invest in mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies, as reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper") and Morningstar, Inc. ("Morningstar"); and other services, companies, individuals, or industry or financial publications (e.g., Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron's, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, and Fortune);
 
>
Lipper and Morningstar rank variable annuity contracts and variable life policies. Their performance analysis ranks such policies and contracts on the basis of total return, and assumes reinvestment of distributions; but it does not show sales charges, redemption fees or certain expense deductions at the separate account level.
·
the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 Common Stocks, or other widely recognized indices;
 
>
unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends, but usually do not reflect deductions for the expenses of operating or managing an investment portfolio; or
·
other types of investments, such as:
 
>
certificates of deposit;
 
>
savings accounts and U.S. Treasuries;
 
>
certain interest rate and inflation indices (e.g., the Consumer Price Index); or
 
>
indices measuring the performance of a defined group of securities recognized by investors as representing a particular segment of the securities markets (e.g., Nasdaq 100 Index, NYSE Acra Oil Index, Morgan Stanley High-Technology 35 Index, PHLX Gold/Silver Index, or S&P 100 Index).

Western Reserve's Published Ratings

We may publish in advertisements, sales literature, or reports we send to you the ratings and other information that an independent ratings organization assigns to us. These organizations include: A.M. Best Company, Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Rating Services, and Fitch, Inc. These ratings are opinions regarding an operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet the obligations of its insurance policies in accordance with their terms. These ratings do not apply to the separate account, the subaccounts, the funds or their portfolios, or to their performance.

Hypothetical In Force Illustration 

Appendix A contains sample hypothetical In Force illustrations for WRL Freedom Elite Builder and WRL Associate Freedom Elite builder that show how the selected death benefit option, specified amount, cost of insurance rates, hypothetical rates of return, withdrawals and loans affect a policyowner’s death benefit levels, cash and surrender values.

Financial Statements 

Western Reserve's statutory-basis financial statements and schedules, which include the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, appear on the following pages. These statutory-basis financial statements and schedules should be distinguished from the separate account's financial statements, and you should consider these statutory-basis financial statements and schedules only as bearing upon Western Reserve's ability to meet its obligations under the Policies. You should not consider our statutory-basis financial statements and schedules as bearing upon the investment performance of the assets held in the separate account.

Western Reserve's statutory-basis financial statements and schedules at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, have been prepared on the basis of statutory accounting principles rather than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The separate account’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2012, which include the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, also appear on the following pages.

The Board of Directors and Contract Owners
Of WRL Series Life Account
Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the subaccounts of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio WRL Series Life Account (the Separate Account), comprised of subaccounts as listed in the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, as of December 31, 2012, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the periods indicated thereon. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective subaccounts of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio WRL Series Life Account, at December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the periods indicated thereon, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Net purchase payments received by the Separate Account are invested in the portfolios of the Mutual Funds as selected by the contract owner. Investments are stated at the closing net asset values per share on December 31, 2012.
                       
Realized capital gains and losses from sales of shares in the Separate Account are determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Unrealized gains or losses from investments in the Mutual Funds are included in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.
                       
Dividend Income
                 
                       
Dividends received from the Mutual Fund investments are reinvested to purchase additional mutual fund shares.
Accounting Policy
                 
                       
The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for variable life separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts.  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding matters that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
                       
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, authoritative guidance that clarifies and changes fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and includes other amendments but does not require additional fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, which for the Separate Account was January 1, 2012.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

* These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the Mutual Fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets.  These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units.  The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Mutual Fund in which the subaccounts invest.
** These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the subaccount, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated.  These ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values.  Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the Mutual Fund have been excluded.

*** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the Mutual Fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values.  These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units.  Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account.  The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.  Effective 2012, total returns reflect a full twelve month period and total returns for subaccounts opened during the year have not been disclosed as they may not be indicative of a full year return.  Effective 2011, expense ratios not in effect for the full twelve months are not reflected in the total return as they may not be indicative of a full year return.

Administrative and Mortality and Expense Risk Charges
       
                   
Under some forms of the contracts, a sales charge and premium taxes are deducted by WRL prior to allocation of policy owner payments to the subaccounts.  Contingent surrender charges may also apply.
                   
Under all forms of the contracts, monthly charges against policy cash values are made to compensate WRL for costs of insurance provided.
                   
A daily charge equal to an annual rate from 0.00% and 1.50% of average daily net assets is assessed to compensate WRL for assumption of mortality and expense risks in connection with the issuance and administration of the contracts.  This charge (not assessed at the individual contract level) effectively reduces the value of a unit outstanding during the year.
                   
6.
Income Taxes
             
                   
Operations of the Separate Account form a part of WRL, which is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).   The operations of the Separate Account are accounted for separately from other operations of WRL for purposes of federal income taxation.  The Separate Account is not separately taxable as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and is not otherwise taxable as an entity separate from WRL.  Under existing federal income tax laws, the income of the Separate Account is not taxable to WRL, as long as earnings are credited under the variable annuity contracts.
7.
Dividend Distributions
             
                   
Dividends are not declared by the Separate Account, since the increase in the value of the underlying investment in the Mutual Funds is reflected daily in the accumulation unit price used to calculate the equity value within the Separate Account.   Consequently, a dividend distribution by the Mutual Funds does not change either the accumulation unit price or equity values within the Separate Account.

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value Hierarchy
       
                   
The Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
The Separate Account has categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy which is based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.    The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are categorized as follows:
Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.
Level 2. Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
   
a)  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
     
   
b)  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets
   
   
c)  Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable
     
   
d)  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
Level 3. Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
All investments in the Mutual Funds included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are stated at fair value and are based upon daily unadjusted quoted prices, therefore are considered Level 1.
                   
9.
Subsequent Events
             
                   
The Separate Account has evaluated the financial statements for subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were issued.  During this period, there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors
Western Reserve Life Assurance Company of Ohio

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of Western Reserve Life Assurance Company of Ohio (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. Our audits also included the statutory-basis financial statement schedules required by Regulation S-X, Article 7. These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are described in Note 1. The effects on the accompanying financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of Western Reserve Life Assurance Company of Ohio at December 31, 2012 and 2011, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012.

However, in our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Western Reserve Assurance Company of Ohio at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic statutory-basis financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in response to new accounting standards in 2012, the Company changed its method of accounting for deferred income taxes.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (the Company) is a stock life insurance company and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aegon USA, LLC (Aegon). Aegon is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Aegon N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands.

Nature of Business

The Company operates predominantly in the variable universal life and variable annuity areas of the life insurance business. The Company is licensed in 49 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam. Sales of the Company’s products are through financial planners, independent representatives, financial institutions and stockbrokers. The majority of the Company’s new life insurance, and a portion of new annuities, are written through an affiliated marketing organization.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The more significant variances from GAAP are:

 (Dollars in Thousands)


Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on their National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments would be designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments would be reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments would be reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in earnings for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income (OCI) for those designated as available-for-sale.  Fair value for GAAP is based on indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models.  For statutory reporting, the NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (SVO) or determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method.

All single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities (e.g., CMOs) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium of such securities using either the retrospective or prospective methods. If the fair value of the mortgage-backed/asset-backed security is less than amortized cost, an entity shall assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. An other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred if the fair value of the mortgage-backed/asset-backed security is less than its amortized cost basis and the entity intends to sell the security or the entity does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. An other-than-temporary impairment is also considered to have occurred if the discounted estimated future cash flows are less than the amortized cost basis of the security.

If it is determined an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred as a result of the cash flow analysis, the security is written down to the discounted estimated future cash flows.  If an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred due to intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold, the security is written down to fair value.

For GAAP, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets (e.g., CMO, CBO, CDO, CLO, MBS and ABS securities), other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary and the entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment should be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and its fair value at the impairment date.  If the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment should be separated into a) the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and b) the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in OCI, net of applicable taxes.

Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of an effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in unassigned surplus as unrealized gains and losses. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of OCI rather than to income as required for fair value hedges, and an embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value.
 
Derivative instruments are also used in replication transactions.  In these transactions, the derivative is valued in a manner consistent with the cash investment and replicated asset.  For GAAP, the derivative is reported at fair value with the changes in the fair value reported in income.

Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis as for GAAP. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating expenses for statutory reporting include rent for the Company’s occupancy of those properties. Changes between depreciated cost and admitted amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than to income as would be required under GAAP.

Valuation allowances are established for mortgage loans, if necessary, based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus as part of the change in asset valuation reserve (AVR), rather than being included as a component of earnings as would be required under GAAP.

Valuation Reserves: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity of the bond or mortgage loan based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. That net deferral is reported as the interest maintenance reserve (IMR) in the accompanying balance sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under

WRL 2012 SEC
G-12 
 

 
Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
 (Dollars in Thousands)


GAAP, realized capital gains and losses would be reported in the statement of operations on a pre-tax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.

The AVR provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in unassigned surplus; AVR is not recognized for GAAP.

Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be required under GAAP.

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, incremental costs directly related to the successful acquisition of traditional life insurance and certain long-duration accident and health insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, would be deferred and amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves; for universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality and expense margins.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted”, primarily net deferred tax assets and agent debit balances, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP), are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheet to the extent they are not impaired.

Universal Life and Annuity Policies:  Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received.  Benefits incurred represent surrenders and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received and benefits incurred for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and guaranteed interest in group annuity contracts are recorded directly to a policy reserve account using deposit accounting, without recognizing premium income or benefits expense. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits. Under GAAP, for universal life policies, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent interest credited to the account values and the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value. Under GAAP, for
all annuity policies without significant mortality risk, premiums received and benefits paid would be recorded directly to the reserve liability.

Benefit Reserves: Certain policy reserves are calculated based on statutorily required interest and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or actual account balances as would be required under GAAP.

 (Dollars in Thousands)


Reinsurance: Any reinsurance amounts deemed to be uncollectible have been written off through a charge to operations.  In addition, a liability for reinsurance balances would be
established for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to the liability are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.

Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as would be required under GAAP.

Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

Deferred Income Taxes:  The Company computes deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principle (SSAP) No. 101, Income Taxes, A Replacement of SSAP No. 10R and SSAP No. 10 (SSAP No. 101). Under SSAP No. 101, admitted adjusted deferred income tax assets are limited to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse during a timeframe corresponding with the Internal Revenue Service tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, plus 2) the amount of adjusted gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized within three years limited to an amount that is no greater than 15% of current period’s adjusted statutory capital and surplus, plus 3) the amount of remaining adjusted gross deferred income tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred income tax liabilities after considering the character (i.e., ordinary versus capital) and reversal patterns of the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The remaining adjusted deferred income tax assets are nonadmitted.

Deferred income taxes do not include amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, state taxes are included in the computation of deferred income taxes, a deferred income tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized in
all future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred income tax assets not realizable.

Policyholder Dividends:  Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies.

Statements of Cash Flow: Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of cash flow represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less.
Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

 (Dollars in Thousands)

Securities Lending Assets and Liabilities: For securities lending programs, cash collateral received which may be sold or repledged by the Company is reflected as a one-line entry on the balance sheet (securities lending reinvested collateral assets) and a corresponding liability is established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral. Collateral received which may not be sold or repledged is not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. Under GAAP the reinvested collateral is included within invested assets (i.e. it is not one-line reported).

The effects of the foregoing variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements have not been determined by the Company, but are presumed to be material.

Other significant accounting policies are as follows:

Investments

Investments in bonds, except those to which the SVO has ascribed an NAIC designation of 6, are reported at amortized cost using the interest method.

Hybrid securities, as defined by the NAIC, are securities designed with characteristics of both debt and equity and provide protection to the issuer’s senior note holders.  These securities meet the definition of a bond, in accordance with SSAP No. 26, Bonds, excluding Loan-backed and Structured Securities and therefore, are reported at amortized cost or fair value based upon their NAIC rating.

Single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method, including anticipated prepayments, except for those with an initial NAIC designation of 6, which are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities, except principal-only and interest-only securities, which are valued using the prospective method.

The Company closely monitors below investment grade holdings and those investment grade issuers where the Company has concerns. The Company also regularly monitors industry sectors. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-temporary including: (1) the probability of the Company collecting all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security in effect at the date of acquisition; (2) the Company’s decision to sell a security prior to its maturity at an amount below its carrying
amount; and (3) the Company’s ability to hold a structured security for a period of time to allow for recovery of the value to its carrying amount. Additionally, financial condition, near term
prospects of the issuer and nationally recognized credit rating changes are monitored.  Non-structured securities in unrealized loss positions that are considered other-than-temporary are written down to fair value. Structured securities considered other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to discounted estimated cash flows if the impairment is the result of cash flow

 (Dollars in Thousands)


analysis.  If the Company has an intent to sell or lack of ability to hold a structured security, it is written down to fair value. For structured securities, cash flow trends and underlying levels of collateral are monitored.  The Company will record a charge to the statement of operations to the extent that these securities are determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Investments in both affiliated and unaffiliated preferred stocks in good standing are reported at cost or amortized cost. Investments in preferred stocks not in good standing are reported at the lower of cost or fair value, and the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

Common stocks of unaffiliated companies are reported at fair value and the related net unrealized capital gains or losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustments for federal income taxes.

If the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of a common stock or a preferred stock is other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the statement of operations. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary: (a) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer; (b) whether or not the Company has made a decision to sell the investment; and (c) the length of time and extent to which the value has been below cost.

Common stocks of affiliated noninsurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying audited GAAP equity.  The net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses, reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

There are no restrictions on common or preferred stock.

Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Mortgage loans are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairment.  A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement.  When management determines that the impairment is other-than-temporary, the mortgage loan is written down to realizable value and a realized loss is recognized.

 (Dollars in Thousands)


Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost net of encumbrances.  Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balance.

Investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties are valued at amortized cost.  Tax credits are recognized in operations in the tax reporting year in which the tax credit is utilized by the Company.

Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are recorded net of related federal income taxes.  Changes in admitted asset carrying amounts of bonds, mortgage loans, preferred and common stocks are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Company does not accrue income on bonds in default, mortgage loans on real estate in default and/or foreclosure or which are delinquent more than twelve months, or real estate where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Further, income is not accrued when collection is uncertain. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not exclude any investment income due and accrued with respect to such practices.

For dollar repurchase agreements, the Company receives cash collateral in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities transferred by the Company in the transaction as of the transaction date.  Cash received as collateral will be invested as needed or used for general corporate purposes of the Company.

Derivative Instruments

Overview: The Company may use various derivative instruments (options, caps, floors, swaps, foreign currency forwards and futures) to manage risks related to its ongoing business operations.  On the transaction date of the derivative instrument, the Company designates the derivative as either (A) hedging (fair value, foreign currency fair value, cash flow, foreign currency cash flow, forecasted transactions or net investment in a foreign operation), (B) replication, (C) income generation or (D) held for other investment/risk management activities, which do not qualify for hedge accounting under SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SSAP No. 86).

Derivative instruments used in hedging relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the hedged item (amortized cost or fair value).  Derivative instruments used in replication relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the cash instrument and the replicated asset (amortized cost or fair value).  Derivative instruments used in income generation relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the associated

WRL 2012 SEC
G-17 
 

 
Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
 (Dollars in Thousands)


covered asset or underlying interest to which the derivative indicates (amortized cost or fair
value).  Derivative instruments held for other investment/risk management activities receive fair value accounting.

Derivative instruments are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that future changes in market prices may make the instruments less valuable.  The Company uses derivatives as hedges, consequently, when the value of the derivative changes, the value of a corresponding hedged
asset or liability will move in the opposite direction.  Market risk is a consideration when changes in the value of the derivative and the hedged item do not completely offset (correlation or basis risk) which is mitigated by active measuring and monitoring.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit rating of 'A' or better.  The credit exposure of interest rate swaps and currency swaps is represented by the fair value of contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a positive fair value at the reporting date.  The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets on the Company's behalf.  The posted amount is equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold that is based on the credit rating of the counterparty.  Inversely, if the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, then the Company is required to post assets.

Instruments: Variance swaps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the risk created when the Company has issued minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index.  These variance swaps are similar to volatility options where the underlying index provides for the market value movements.  Variance swaps do not accrue interest. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of initiating the variance swap and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract.  The variance swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements.  If terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract.  These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment.  Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Futures contracts are used to hedge the liability risk associated when the Company issues products providing the customer a return based on various global market indices.  Futures are marked to market on a daily basis whereby a cash payment is made or received by the Company.  These payments are recognized as realized gains or losses in the financial statements.

Premiums and Annuity Considerations

Revenues for policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received and are recognized over the premium paying

WRL 2012 SEC
G-18 
 

 
Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
 (Dollars in Thousands)


periods of the related policies. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or
morbidity risk are recorded using deposit accounting, and recorded directly to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium income.

Aggregate Reserves for Policies and Contracts

Life, annuity and accident and health benefit reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum required by law.

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and refunds portions of premiums beyond the date of death. Surrender values on policies do not exceed the corresponding benefit reserves.

Additional premiums are charged or additional mortality charges are assessed for policies issued on substandard lives according to underwriting classification.  Additional reserves are established when the results of cash flow testing under various interest rate scenarios
indicate the need for such reserves or the net premiums exceed the gross premiums on any insurance in force.

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released and tabular cost have been determined by formula. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies has also been determined by formula.

The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based principally upon the 1941, 1958, 1980 and 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 2 to 5.5 percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Methods. Reserves for universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method.

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method including excess interest reserves to cover situations where the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender charges are in excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest. Reserves for immediate annuities and supplementary contracts with life contingencies are equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging from 4 to 11.25 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of tables.

Accident and health policy reserves are equal to the greater of the gross unearned premiums or any required mid-terminal reserves plus net unearned premiums and the present value of amounts not yet due on both reported and unreported claims.

 (Dollars in Thousands)


The liabilities related to guaranteed investment contracts and policyholder funds left on deposit with the Company generally are equal to fund balances less applicable surrender charges.

Policy and Contract Claim Reserves

Claim reserves represent the estimated accrued liability for claims reported to the Company and claims incurred but not yet reported through the statement date. These reserves are estimated using either individual case-basis valuations or statistical analysis techniques. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in claim severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes available.

Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts

Deposit-type contracts do not incorporate risk from the death or disability of policyholders. These types of contracts may include supplemental contracts and certain annuity contracts. Deposits and withdrawals on these contracts are recorded as a direct increase or decrease, respectively, to the liability balance, and are not reflected as premiums, benefits or changes in reserve in the statement of operations.

Reinsurance

Coinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Gains associated with reinsurance of in force blocks of business are included in unassigned surplus and amortized into income as earnings emerge on the reinsured block of business. Premiums ceded and recoverable losses have been reported as a reduction of premium income and benefits, respectively. Policy liabilities and accruals are reported in the accompanying financial statements net of reinsurance ceded.

Separate Accounts

Separate accounts held by the Company primarily represent funds which are administered for individual variable universal life and variable annuity contracts. Assets held in trust for purchases of variable universal life and variable annuity contracts and the Company’s corresponding obligation to the contract owners are shown separately in the balance sheet. The assets in the accounts, carried at estimated fair value, consist of underlying mutual fund shares, common stocks, long-term bonds and short-term investments. The separate accounts, held for individual policyholders, do not have any minimum guarantees, and the investment risks associated with the fair value changes are borne entirely by the policyholder.

The Company received variable contract premiums of $305,221, $349,011 and $378,162, in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. All variable account contracts are subject to discretionary withdrawal by the policyholder at the fair value of the underlying assets less the current

 (Dollars in Thousands)


surrender charge. Separate account contract holders have no claim against the assets of the general account.

Income and gains and losses with respect to the assets in the separate accounts accrue to the benefit of the contract owners and, accordingly, the operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company received $300,860, $312,161 and $319,607, in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to fees associated with investment management, administration and contractual guarantees for separate accounts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 86 to require disclosure of embedded credit derivatives within a financial instrument that expose the holder to the possibility of making future payments, and adopted guidance from Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging – Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives, to clarify that seller credit derivative disclosures do not apply to embedded derivative features related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another.  The adoption of these revisions had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 86 to move one aspect of the criteria for a hedged forecasted transaction and incorporate it as criteria for a fair value hedge.  The adoption of this revision had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 27, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk, Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk and Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which clarifies that embedded derivatives, which are not separately recognized as derivatives under statutory accounting, are included in the disclosures of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk.  The adoption of this revision had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 1, Disclosures of Accounting Policies, Risks and Uncertainties and Other Disclosures.  These revisions require reference to the accounting policy and procedure footnote that describes permitted or prescribed practices when an individual note is impacted by such practices.  The adoption of this requirement had no impact to the Company’s results of operation or financial position, but did require additional disclosures.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 100, Fair Value Measurements­ (SSAP No. 100). These revisions require new disclosures of fair value hierarchy and the method used to obtain the fair value measurement, a new footnote that summarizes hierarchy levels by type of financial instrument and gross presentation of purchases, sales, issues

and settlements within the reconciliation for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy.  The adoption of these revisions had no impact to the Company’s results of
operations or financial position, but did require additional disclosures. See Note 2 Fair Values of Financial Instruments for further details.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company began computing current and deferred income taxes in accordance with SSAP No. 101.  This statement established statutory accounting principles for current and deferred federal and foreign income taxes and current state income taxes.  The adoption of this statement resulted in the transfer of $67,503 from Aggregate Write-Ins for Other than Special Surplus Funds to Unassigned Funds and updates to the Company’s income tax disclosures.  See Note 5 Income Taxes for further details.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company adopted SSAP No. 10R, Income Taxes – Revised, A Temporary Replacement of SSAP No. 10 (SSAP No. 10R).  This statement established statutory accounting principles for current and deferred federal and foreign income taxes and current state income taxes.  The SSAP temporarily superseded SSAP No. 10, Income Taxes.  SSAP No. 10R allowed an entity to elect to admit additional deferred tax assets (DTAs) utilizing a three year loss carryback provision, plus the lesser of a look-forward of three years on gross DTAs expected to be realized or 15% of statutory capital and surplus if the entity’s risk-based capital is above the 250% risk-based capital level where an action level could occur as a result of a trend test utilizing the old SSAP No. 10 provisions to calculate the DTA. Prior to the adoption of SSAP No. 10R, the admitted DTA was calculated by taking into consideration a one year loss carryback and look-forward on gross DTAs that can be expected to be realized and a 10% capital and surplus limit on the admitted amount of the DTA. The Company elected to admit additional deferred tax assets pursuant to SSAP No. 10R and as a result, the cumulative effect of the adoption of this standard was the difference between the calculation of the admitted DTA per SSAP No.10R and the old SSAP No. 10 methodology at December 31, 2011 and 2010.  This change in accounting principle increased surplus by a net amount of $67,503 and $70,527, respectively, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, which has been recorded within the statements of changes in capital and surplus.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets – Revised.  The revisions require the Company to recognize a liability equal to the greater of (a) the fair value of the guarantee at its inception, even if the likelihood of payment under the guarantee is remote or (b) the contingent liability amount required to be recognized if it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the financial statement date and the amount of loss can reasonably be determined.  While this guidance does not exclude guarantees issued as intercompany transactions or between related parties from the initial liability recognition requirement, there are a couple exceptions.  Guarantees made to/or on behalf of a wholly-owned subsidiary and related party guarantees that are considered “unlimited” (for example, in response to a rating agency’s requirement to provide a commitment to support) are exempt from the initial liability recognition.  Additional disclosures are also required under this new guidance for all guarantees, whether or not they meet the criteria for initial liability recognition.  The adoption of this new accounting principle had no material impact to the

Company’s results of operations or financial position, but did require additional disclosures regarding these guarantees.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 100, to incorporate the provisions of ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This revision required a new disclosure for assets and liabilities for which fair value is not measured and reported in the statement of financial position but is otherwise disclosed.  The adoption of these revisions had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position. See Note 2 for further details.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted non-substantive changes to SSAP No. 32, Investments in Preferred Stock (including investments in preferred stock of
subsidiary, controlled, or affiliated entities). The amendment was made to clarify the definition of preferred stock. Under the revised SSAP No. 32, a preferred stock is defined as any class or series of shares the holders of which have any preference, either as to the payment of dividends
or distribution of assets on liquidation, over the holder of common stock [as defined in SSAP No.
30, Investments in Common Stock (excluding investments in common stock of subsidiary, controlled, or affiliated entities)] issued by an entity. This revised definition had no impact to the Company.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments – Revised.  This statement modified the conditions required for recognizing a liability for insurance-related assessments and required additional disclosures to be made in the Notes to the Financial Statements.  The adoption of this accounting principle had no financial impact to the Company.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted revisions to certain paragraphs of SSAP No. 43R – Loan-backed and Structured Securities to clarify the accounting for gains and losses between AVR and IMR.  The revisions clarify that an AVR/IMR bifurcation analysis should be performed when SSAP No. 43R securities are sold (not just as a result of impairment).  These changes were applied on a prospective basis and had no financial impact to the Company upon adoption.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 43R to clarify the definitions of loan-backed and structured securities.  The clarified guidance was applied prospectively and had no financial impact to the Company upon adoption.

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company adopted modifications made to SSAP No. 91R, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.  The amendments resulted in cash collateral received from counterparties to derivatives contracts also being reported on the Company’s balance sheet in the respective asset class in which the cash was reinvested (short-term investments and bonds).  A separate liability was established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral (Payable for derivative cash collateral). These balances were recorded on the Company’s balance sheet effective January 1, 2010 and resulted

 in an increase to assets and liabilities of $193,926 as of December 31, 2010 with no impact to surplus. See Note 8 for further details.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company will adopt SSAP No. 92, Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, A Replacement of SSAP No. 14 and SSAP No. 102, Accounting for Pensions, A Replacement of SSAP No. 89.  This guidance impacts accounting for defined benefit pension plans or other postretirement plans, along with related disclosures.  SSAP No. 102 requires recognition of the funded status of the plan based on the projected benefit obligation instead of the accumulated benefit obligation as under SSAP No. 89.  In addition, SSAP No. 92 and SSAP No. 102 require consideration of non-vested participants.  The adoption of these standards will not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures as the Company does not sponsor the pension plan and is not directly liable under the plan.  See Note 9 for further discussion of the Company’s pension plan and other postretirement plans as sponsored by Aegon.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company will adopt SSAP No. 103, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities which adopts with modifications the guidance in ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and supersedes SSAP no. 91R, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.  The impact of the adoption of this standard is expected to be immaterial to the Company.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company will adopt non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 36, Troubled Debt Restructuring.  These revisions adopt guidance from ASU 2011-02, Receivables – A Creditors’ Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which clarifies what  constitutes a troubled debt restructuring and adopts with modification troubled debt restructuring disclosures for creditors from ASU 2010-20: Receivables (Topic 310), Disclosures About the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.  The adoption of this revision is not expected to impact the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Effective December 31, 2013, the Company will adopt revisions to SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments – Revised which incorporates subsequent event (Type II) disclosures for entities subject to Section 9010 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act related to assessments payable.  The adoption of this revision is not expected to impact the financial position or results of operations of the Company as revisions relate to disclosures only.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 and 2010 financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation.

During 2012, the Company changed the presentation of various reinsurance related balances.  As a result of these changes, $196,104 and $56,614, respectively, was reclassified between the Net

2. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Determination of fair value

The fair values of financial instruments are determined by management after taking into consideration several sources of data.  When available, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of its investments.  The Company’s valuation policy utilizes a pricing hierarchy which dictates that publicly available prices are initially sought from indices and third-party pricing services.  In the event that pricing is not available from these sources, those securities are submitted to brokers to obtain quotes.  Lastly, securities are priced using internal cash flow modeling techniques.  These valuation methodologies commonly use reported trades, bids, offers, issuer spreads, benchmark yields, estimated prepayment speeds, and/or estimated cash flows.

To understand the valuation methodologies used by third-party pricing services, the Company reviews and monitors their applicable methodology documents.  Any changes to their methodologies are noted and reviewed for reasonableness.  In addition, the Company performs in-depth reviews of prices received from third-party pricing services on a sample basis.  The objective for such reviews is to demonstrate that the Company can corroborate detailed information such as assumptions, inputs and methodologies used in pricing individual securities against documented pricing methodologies.  Only third-party pricing services and brokers with a substantial presence in the market and with appropriate experience and expertise are used.

Each month, the Company performs an analysis of the information obtained from indices, third-party services, and brokers to ensure that the information is reasonable and produces a reasonable estimate of fair value.  The Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors as part of this analysis, including but not limited to, recent transactional activity for similar securities, review of pricing statistics and trends, and consideration of recent relevant market events.  Other controls and procedures over pricing received from indices, third-party pricing services, or brokers include validation checks such as exception reports which highlight significant price changes, stale prices or un-priced securities.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100.  The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical

WRL 2012 SEC
G-25 
 

 
Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
 (Dollars in Thousands)


assets and liabilities (Level 1), and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement.  For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3).   The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 Level 1 -                 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active marketsaccessible at the measurement date.

 
Level 2 -
Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.  Level 2 inputs include the following:

a)  
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
b)  
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets
c)  
Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable
d)  
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means

 
Level 3 -
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  They reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Cash in not included in the below tables.

Bonds and Stocks:  The NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the SVO or to determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method.  The fair
values of bonds and stocks are reported or determined using the following pricing sources:  indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models.

Fair values for fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) actively traded are determined from third-party pricing services, which are determined as discussed above in the description of level one and level two values within the fair value hierarchy.  For fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from third-party pricing services, or are based on non-binding broker quotes or internal models. In the case of private placements, fair values are estimated by

 (Dollars in Thousands)


discounting the expected future cash flows using current market rates applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments.

Short-Term Notes Receivable from Affiliates:  The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair value.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reflective of current market conditions and the risk characteristics of the loans.

Policy Loans:  The fair value of policy loans is equal to the book value of the loan, which is stated at unpaid principal balance.

Securities Lending Reinvested Collateral: The cash collateral from securities lending is reinvested in various short-term and long-term debt instruments.  The fair values of these investments are determined using the methods described above under Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments and Bonds and Stocks.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The estimated fair values of interest rate swaps, including interest rate and currency swaps, are based on pricing models or formulas using current assumptions.

Investment Contract Liabilities: The carrying value of the Company’s liabilities for deferred annuities with minimum guaranteed benefits is determined using a stochastic valuation as described in Note 6, which approximates the fair value.  For investment contracts without minimum guarantees, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows.  For those liabilities that are short in duration, carrying amount approximates fair value. For investment contracts with no defined maturity, fair value is estimated to be the present surrender value.

Deposit-Type Contracts:  The carrying amounts of deposit-type contracts reported in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values.

Separate Account Assets and Annuity Liabilities: The fair value of separate account assets are based on quoted market prices when available. When not available, they are valued in the same manner as general account assets as further described in this note.  The fair value of separate account annuity liabilities is based on the account value for separate accounts business without guarantees. 

Receivable from/Payable to Parent, Subsidiaries and Affiliates: The carrying amount of receivable from/payable to affiliates approximates their fair value.

The Company accounts for its investments in affiliated common stock using the equity method of accounting; as such, they are not included in the following disclosures as they are not carried at fair value on the balance sheets.

Fair values for the Company’s insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts (including separate account universal life liabilities) are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the

Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, which minimizes exposure to changing
interest rates through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

The following tables set forth a comparison of the estimated fair values and carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including those not measured at fair value in the balance sheets, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

Bonds classified in Level 2 are valued using inputs from third party pricing services or broker quotes.  Level 3 measurements for bonds are primarily those valued using non-binding broker quotes, which cannot be corroborated by other market observable data, or internal modeling which utilize inputs that are not market observable.

Short-term investments are classified as Level 2 as they are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Derivatives classified as Level 2 represent over-the-counter (OTC) contracts valued using pricing models based on the net present value of estimated future cash
flows, directly observed prices from exchange-traded derivatives, other OTC trades or external pricing services.

During 2012 and 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2, respectively.

The Company estimated the utilization of the remaining state transferable tax credits by projecting a future tax liability based on projected premium, tax rates and tax credits and comparing the projected future tax liability to the availability of remaining state transferable tax credits.  The Company had no impairment losses related to state transferable tax credits.

The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets on the Company’s behalf.  The posted amount is equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold that is based on the credit rating of the counterparty.  Inversely, if the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, the Company is required to post assets instead.  At December 31, 2012, the Company does not have any contracts, aggregated at a counterparty
level, with a positive fair value. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of all contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a negative fair value amount to $1,841.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the Company has recorded $(1,841)  and $(511) for the component of derivative instruments utilized for hedging purposes that did not qualify for hedge accounting.  This has been recorded directly to unassigned surplus as an unrealized loss.

The Company did not recognize any unrealized gains or losses during 2012 or 2011 that represented the component of derivative instruments gain or loss that was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the Company had outstanding receive fixed - pay fixed swaps with a notional amount of $8 and $2.

4. Reinsurance

The Company reinsures portions of certain insurance policies which exceed its established limits, thereby providing a greater diversification of the risk and minimizing exposure on larger risks. The Company remains contingently liable with respect to any insurance ceded, and this would become an actual liability in the event that the assuming insurance company became unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance treaty.

The aggregate reserves for policies and contracts were reduced for reserve credits for reinsurance ceded at December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $631,262 and $624,949, respectively.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the amount of reserve credits for reinsurance ceded that represented unauthorized affiliated companies were $571,479 and $570,222, respectively.

The Company would experience no reduction in surplus at December 31, 2012 if all reinsurance agreements were cancelled.

On April 26, 2011, Aegon N.V announced the disposition of its life reinsurance operations, Transamerica Reinsurance to SCOR SE, a Societas Europaea organized under the laws of France (SCOR), which was effective August 9, 2011.

The life reinsurance business conducted by Transamerica Reinsurance was written through several of Aegon N.V.’s U.S. and international affiliates, all of which remain Aegon N.V. affiliates following the closing, except for Transamerica International Reinsurance Ireland, Limited, an Irish reinsurance company (TIRI).  In preparation of the divestiture of the life reinsurance business to SCOR, during the second quarter of 2011, the Company, as well as other affiliated life insurance companies, recaptured certain business that had been reinsured to TIRI, subsequently ceding the majority of the business recaptured to Transamerica International Re
(Bermuda) Ltd. (TIRe), an affiliate.  As a result of these transactions, the net impact to the Company was a pre-tax loss of $94,262, which was included in the statement of operations, and a net of tax gain of $63,421 which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus.  Additional information surrounding these transactions is outlined below.

Effective April 1, 2011, the Company recaptured the traditional life business that was previously reinsured on a coinsurance funds withheld basis to TIRI, and subsequently reinsured this

business to TIRe.  The Company paid recapture consideration of $29,300 and released the
associated funds withheld liability of $22,729 associated with the recapture, and received an initial ceding commission of $27,400 and established a funds withheld liability of $23,061 on the new cession to TIRe.  Life, claim reserves and other assets associated with this block that were exchanged were $86,197, $9,563 and $2,344, respectively.  The Company released into income a previously deferred unamortized gain resulting from the original cession of this business to TIRI in the amount of $175 ($120 net of tax) resulting in a pre-tax loss of $99,812 on the recapture which was included in the statement of operations as of December 31, 2011.  The cession to TIRe resulted in a net of tax gain of $63,541, which was credited directly to unassigned surplus at December 3, 2011.

Effective April 1, 2011, TIRI, recaptured the BOLI/COLI catastrophic mortality risk that had previously been retro-ceded to the Company.  The Company released life and claim reserves of $5,507 and $43, respectively, with no consideration exchanged, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $5,550 which was included in the statement of operations at December 31, 2011. 

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with an affiliate to cede on a 100% quota share basis a block of variable universal life business on a modified coinsurance basis.  Reserves on the block were $1,013,110, with assets backing the block comprised of $853,669 of separate account assets and $159,441 of general account assets.  The Company received consideration of $193,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $193,000, which was credited directly to unassigned surplus on a net of tax basis in the amount of $125,450.  During 2012 and 2011, the Company amortized $33,519 and $21,792, respectively, of this gain into earnings on a net of tax basis.

During 2012 and 2011, the Company did not amortize any deferred gains from reinsurance transactions occurring prior to 2010. During 2010, the Company amortized deferred gains from
reinsurance transactions occurring prior to 2010 of $24 into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus.

Letters of credit held for all unauthorized reinsurers as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and  2010 were $179,100, $273,000 and $107,200, respectively.

The Company’s current income tax incurred and change in deferred income tax differs from the amount obtained by applying the federal statutory rate of 35% to income before tax as follows:

 
For federal income tax purposes, the Company joins in a consolidated income tax return filing with its indirect parent company, Transamerica Corporation, and other affiliated companies. The method of allocation between the companies is subject to a written tax allocation agreement.  Under the terms of the tax allocation agreement, allocations are based on separate income tax return calculations.  The Company is entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the future losses and credits reduce the greater of the Company's separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group's income tax liability in the year generated.  The Company is also entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the losses and credits reduce the greater of the Company's separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group's income tax liability in any carryback or carryforward year when so applied.  Intercompany income tax balances are settled within thirty days of payment to or filing with the Internal Revenue Service. A tax return has not yet been filed for 2012.

A portion of the Company’s policy reserves and other policyholders’ funds relate to liabilities established on a variety of the Company’s products, primarily separate accounts that are not subject to significant mortality or morbidity risk; however, there may be certain restrictions placed upon the amount of funds that can be withdrawn without penalty. The amount of reserves on these products, by withdrawal characteristics, is summarized as follows:

A reconciliation of the amounts transferred to and from the separate accounts is presented below:


The legal insulation of separate account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s separate account statement included legally insulated assets of $6,477,236 and $6,517,738, respectively.  The assets legally insulated from general account claims at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are attributed to the following products:


The Company does not participate in securities lending transactions within the separate account.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Actuarial Guideline XLIII (AG 43) which replaces Actuarial Guidelines 34 and 39.  AG 43 specifies statutory reserve requirements for variable annuity contracts with benefit guarantees (VACARVM) and without benefit guarantees
and related products.  The AG 43 reserve calculation includes variable annuity products issued
after January 1, 1981. Examples of covered guaranteed benefits include guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits, return of premium death benefits, guaranteed minimum income benefits, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and guaranteed payout annuity floors.  The aggregate reserve for contracts falling within the scope of AG 43 is equal to the conditional tail expectation (CTE) Amount, but not less than the standard scenario amount (SSA). The Company reported a decrease in reserves and an increase in net income of $11,412 at December 31, 2009, related to the adoption of AG 43 and changes in the underlying assumptions.

WRL 2012 SEC
G-56 
 

 
Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
 (Dollars in Thousands)


To determine the CTE Amount, the Company used 1,000 of the pre-packaged scenarios developed by the American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) produced in October 2005 and prudent estimate assumptions based on Company experience. The SSA was determined using the assumptions and methodology prescribed in AG 43 for determining the SSA.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had variable and separate account annuities with minimum guaranteed benefits as follows:

The Company offers variable and separate account annuities with minimum guaranteed benefits.  In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the general account.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the general account of the Company had a maximum guarantee for separate account liabilities of $560,717 and $777,659, respectively.  To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the separate account paid risk charges of $10,487, $11,446 and $12,167 to the general account in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the general account of the Company had paid $12,243, $12,975 and $20,835, respectively, toward separate account guarantees.

Reserves on the Company’s traditional life insurance products are computed using mean reserving methodologies.  These methodologies result in the establishment of assets for the amount of the net valuation premiums that are anticipated to be received between the policy’s paid-through date to the policy’s next anniversary date. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the gross premium and loading amounts related to these assets (which are reported as premiums deferred and uncollected), are as follows:

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had insurance in force aggregating $3,228,205 and $3,678,555 respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums required by the valuation standards established by the Ohio Department of Insurance.  The Company established policy reserves of $22,152 and $23,412 to cover these deficiencies at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation, in accordance with SSAP No. 54, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts.

7. Capital and Surplus

The Company is subject to limitations, imposed by the Ohio Department of Insurance, on the payment of dividends to its parent company, Aegon. Generally, dividends during any twelve month period may not be paid, without prior regulatory approval, in excess of the greater of (a) 10 percent of statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (b) net income for the preceding year. Subject to the availability of unassigned surplus at the time of such dividend, the maximum payment which may be made in 2012, without the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities, is $129,996

On December 21, 2012, the Company paid common stock dividends of $27,000 to its parent company, Aegon.

On December 23, 2010, the Company paid a common stock dividend of $100,000 to its parent company.  The entire amount was considered an extraordinary dividend.  The Company received approval from the Ohio Department of Insurance to make these dividend payments.

Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain RBC requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life or health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2012, the Company meets the minimum RBC requirements.

8. Securities Lending

The Company participates in an agent-managed securities lending program.  The Company receives collateral equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned government/other domestic securities as of the transaction date.  If the fair value of the collateral is at any time less than 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities, the counterparty is mandated to deliver additional collateral, the fair value of which, together with the collateral already held in connection with the lending transaction, is at least equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned government/other domestic securities.  In the event the Company loans a foreign security and the denomination of the currency of the collateral is other than the denomination of the currency of the loaned foreign security, the Company receives and maintains collateral equal to 105% of the fair value of the loaned security.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, securities in the amount of $81,764 and $86,663 were on loan under securities lending agreements.  The collateral the Company received from securities lending was in the form of cash and on open terms. This cash collateral is reinvested and is not available for general corporate purposes. The reinvested cash collateral had a fair value of $84,804 and $89,423 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The contractual maturities of the securities lending collateral positions are as follows:

The Company receives primarily cash collateral in an amount in excess of the fair value of the securities lent.  The Company reinvests the cash collateral into higher yielding securities than the securities which the Company has lent to other entities under the arrangement.

The maturity dates of the reinvested securities lending collateral are as follows:


For securities lending, the Company’s sources of cash that it uses to return the cash collateral are dependent upon the liquidity of the current market conditions.  Under current conditions, the Company has securities with a par value of $84,863 (fair value of $84,804) that are currently tradable securities that could be sold and used to pay for the $84,932 in collateral calls that could come due under a worst-case scenario.

9. Retirement and Compensation Plans

The Company’s employees participate in a qualified defined benefit plan sponsored by Aegon. The Company has no legal obligation for the plan. The Company recognizes pension expense equal to its allocation from Aegon. The pension expense is allocated among the participating companies based on International Accounting Standards 19 (IAS 19), Accounting for Employee Benefits and based upon actuarial participant benefit calculations. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s eligible annual compensation during the highest five consecutive years of employment. Pension expenses were $627, $1,255 and $1,442 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act of 1974.

The Company’s employees also participate in a defined contribution plan sponsored by Aegon which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Service Code. Employees of the Company who customarily work at least 1,000 hours during each calendar year and meet the other eligibility requirements are participants of the plan. Participants may elect to contribute up to twenty-five percent of their salary to the plan. The Company will match an amount up to three percent of the participant’s salary. Participants may direct all of their contributions and plan balances to be invested in a variety of investment options. The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act of 1974. Expense related to this plan was $280, $­­­­532 and $702 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Aegon sponsors supplemental retirement plans to provide the Company’s senior management with benefits in excess of normal pension benefits. The plans are noncontributory and benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation level. The plans are unfunded and nonqualified under the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, Aegon has established incentive deferred compensation plans for certain key employees of the Company. The Company’s allocation of expense for these plans for 2012, 2011 and 2010 was insignificant. Aegon also sponsors an employee stock option plan/stock appreciation rights for employees of the Company and a stock purchase plan for its producers, with the participating affiliated companies establishing their own eligibility criteria, producer contribution limits and company matching formula. These plans have been funded as deemed appropriate by management of Aegon and the Company.

In addition to pension benefits, the Company participates in plans sponsored by Aegon that provide postretirement medical, dental and life insurance benefits to employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. Portions of the medical and dental plans are contributory. The postretirement plan expenses are charged to affiliates in accordance with an intercompany cost sharing arrangement. The Company expensed $110, $210 and $192 for the years ended 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to legal proceedings involving a variety of issues incidental to its business.  Lawsuits may be brought in nearly any federal or state court in the United
States or in an arbitral forum.  In addition, there continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies.  The Company’s legal proceedings are subject to many variables, and given its complexity and scope, outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. Although legal proceedings sometimes include substantial demands for compensatory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief, it is management’s opinion that

damages arising from such demands will not be material to the Company’s financial position.

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty laws in the states in which it writes business. These laws provide for assessments against insurance companies for the benefit of policyholders and claimants in the event of insolvency of other insurance companies. Assessments are charged to operations when received by the Company except where right of offset against other taxes paid is allowed by law. Amounts available for future offsets are recorded as an asset on the Company’s balance sheet. The future obligation for known insolvencies has been accrued based on the most recent information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association. Potential future obligations for unknown insolvencies are not determinable by the Company and are not required to be accrued for financial reporting purposes. The Company has established a reserve of $1,624 and $1,664 with no offsetting premium tax benefit at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments related to several major insurer insolvencies. The guaranty fund expense was $60, $(1,824), and $95 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company had no contingent commitments or LIHTC commitments as of December 31, 2012.

The Company is required by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to maintain assets on deposit with brokers for futures trading activity done on behalf of the Company.  The broker has a secured interest with priority in the pledged assets, however, the Company has the right to recall and substitute the pledged assets.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the Company pledged assets in the amount of $14,125 and $17,084 to satisfy the requirements of futures trading accounts.

Item 29.                 Indemnification

Provisions exist under the Ohio General Corporation Law, the Second Amended Articles of Incorporation of Western Reserve and the Amended Code of Regulations of Western Reserve whereby Western Reserve may indemnify certain persons against certain payments incurred by such persons.  The following excerpts contain the substance of these provisions.

Ohio General Corporation Law

Section 1701.13  Authority of corporation.

 
(E)(1)                  A corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation (including a subsidiary of this corporation), domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(2)          A corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any of the following:

(a)          Any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that the court of common pleas, or the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court of common pleas or such other court shall deem proper;

(b)          Any action or suit in which the only liability asserted against a director is pursuant to section 1701.95 of the Revised Code.

(3)          To the extent that a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(4)          Any indemnification under divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section. Such determination shall be made as follows:

(a)          By a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors of the indemnifying corporation who were not and are not parties to or threatened with any such action, suit, or proceeding;

(b)          If the quorum described in division (E)(4)(a) of this section is not obtainable or if a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, in a written opinion by independent legal counsel other than an attorney, or a firm having associated with it an attorney, who has been retained by or who has performed services for the corporation, or any person to be indemnified within the past five years;

(c)          By the shareholders;

(d)          By the court of common pleas or the court in which such action, suit, or proceeding was brought.

Any determination made by the disinterested directors under division (E)(4)(a) or by independent legal counsel under division (E)(4)(b) of this section shall be promptly communicated to the person who threatened or brought the action or suit by or in the right of the corporation under division (E)(2) of this section, and within ten days after receipt of such notification, such person shall have the right to petition the court of common pleas or the court in which such action or suit was brought to review the reasonableness of such determination.

(5)(a)  Unless at the time of a director's act or omission that is the subject of an action, suit or proceeding referred to in divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section, the articles or the regulations of a corporation state by specific reference to this division that the provisions of this division do not apply to the corporation and unless the only liability asserted against a director in an action, suit, or proceeding referred to in divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section is pursuant to section 1701.95 of the Revised Code, expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by a director in defending the action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director in which he agrees to do both of the following:

(i)  Repay such amount if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that his action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or undertaken with reckless disregard for the best interests of the corporation;

(ii)  Reasonably cooperate with the corporation concerning the action, suit, or proceeding.

(b)          Expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred by a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent in defending any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section, may be paid by the corporation as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount, if it ultimately is determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

(6)          The indemnification authorized by this section shall not be exclusive of, and shall be in addition to,  any other rights granted to those seeking indemnification under the articles or the regulations or any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

(7)          A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection, including but not limited to trust funds, letters of credit, or self-insurance on behalf of or for any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,  domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this section.  Insurance may be purchased from or maintained with a person in which the corporation has a financial interest.

(8)          The authority of a corporation to indemnify persons pursuant to divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section does not limit the payment of expenses as they are incurred, indemnification, insurance, or other protection that may be provided pursuant to divisions (E)(5), (6), and (7) of this section.  Divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this section do not create any obligation to repay or return payments made by the corporation pursuant to divisions (E)(5), (6), or (7).

(9)          As used in this division, references to "corporation" include all constituent corporations in a consolidation or merger and the new or surviving corporation, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of such a constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the new or surviving corporation as he would if he had served the new or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

Second Amended Articles of Incorporation of Western Reserve

ARTICLE EIGHTH

EIGHTH:  (1)  The corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation (including a subsidiary of this corporation), domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(2)           The corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation (including a subsidiary of this corporation), domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that the court of common pleas, or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court of common pleas or such other court shall deem proper.

(3)           To the extent that a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in sections (1) and (2) of this article, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(4)           Any indemnification under sections (1) and (2) of this article, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in sections (1) and (2) of this article.  Such determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors of the indemnifying corporation who were not and are not parties to or threatened with any such action, suit, or proceeding, or (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable or if a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, in a written opinion by independent legal counsel other than an attorney, or a firm having associated with it an attorney, who has been retained by or who has performed services for the corporation, or any person to be indemnified within the past five years, or (c) by the shareholders, or (d) by the court of common pleas or the court in which such action, suit, or proceeding was brought.  Any determination made by the disinterested directors under section (4)(a) or by independent legal counsel under section (4)(b) of this article shall be promptly communicated to the person who threatened or brought the action or suit by or in the right of the corporation under section (2) of this article, and within ten days after receipt of such notification, such person shall have the right to petition the court of common pleas or the court in which such action or suit was brought to review the reasonableness of such determination.

(5)           Expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred in defending any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in sections (1) and (2) of this article, may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the directors in the specific case upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this article.  If a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs by resolution, said written undertaking need not be submitted to the corporation.  Such a determination that a written undertaking need not be submitted to the corporation shall in no way affect the entitlement of indemnification as authorized by this article.

(6)           The indemnification provided by this article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the articles or the regulations or any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

(7)           The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation (including a subsidiary of this corporation), domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this section.

(8)           As used in this section, references to "the corporation" include all constituent corporations in a consolidation or merger and the new or surviving corporation, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of such a constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation (including a subsidiary of this corporation), domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under this article with respect to the new or surviving corporation as he would if he had served the new or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

(9)           The foregoing provisions of this article do not apply to any proceeding against any trustee, investment manager or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan in such person's capacity as such, even though such person may also be an agent of this corporation.  The corporation may indemnify such named fiduciaries of its employee benefit plans against all costs and expenses, judgments, fines, settlements or other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by or imposed upon said named fiduciary in connection with or arising out of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding in which the named fiduciary may be made a party by reason of being or having been a named fiduciary, to the same extent it indemnifies an agent of the corporation.  To the extent that the corporation does not have the direct legal power to indemnify, the corporation may contract with the named fiduciaries of its employee benefit plans to indemnify them to the same extent as noted above.  The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of such named fiduciary covering any liability to the same extent that it contracts to indemnify.

Amended Code of Regulations of Western Reserve

ARTICLE V

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Each Director, officer and member of a committee of this Corporation, and any person who may have served at the request of this Corporation as a Director, officer or member of a committee of any other corporation in which this Corporation owns shares of capital stock or of which this Corporation is a creditor (and his heirs, executors and administrators) shall be indemnified by the Corporation against all expenses, costs, judgments, decrees, fines or penalties as provided by, and to the extent allowed by, Article Eighth of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, as amended.

Rule 484 Undertaking

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of Western Reserve pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Western Reserve has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Western Reserve of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Western Reserve in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Western Reserve will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
