  Certificate     

Holder may exercise all the rights under the Certificate

  Holder's     

Account, subject to the rights of:

  Certificate     

Holder and any joint Certificate Holder, must be filed at

  our     

home office. After the transfer is recorded, it will take effect

  as     

of the date the request was signed. Any such transfer terminates

  the     

interest of any existing Certificate Holder. It does not change

  the     

Beneficiary, nor transfer the Beneficiary's interest. A transfer

  will     

not affect any payments We may make or actions We may take before

  such     

transfer has been recorded at our home office.

Section 4. Beneficiary Provisions

  • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Beneficiary - The Certificate Holder may name a Beneficiary and a

contingent Beneficiary. At the death of the Certificate Holder prior to the Annuity Date, the Beneficiary(ies) named in our records will receive a death benefit as stated in Section 10. Upon the death of either joint Certificate Holder prior to the Annuity Date, the surviving joint Certificate Holder, if any, will be treated as the designated Beneficiary and any other Beneficiary designation on record with Us at the time of death is treated as a contingent Beneficiary. If the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural person, the death benefit will be paid at the death of the Annuitant.

12

<PAGE>

4.02     

Change of Beneficiary - The Certificate Holder may change the Beneficiary. A written request, dated and signed by the Certificate Holder, must be filed at our home office. If there are joint Certificate Holders, both must sign the request. After the change is recorded, it will take effect as of the date the request was signed.

 

If the request reaches our home office and is recorded after the Certificate Holder dies, but before any payment is made, the change is valid.

4.03     

Death of Beneficiary - If all of the Beneficiaries and contingent Beneficiaries die prior to the Certificate Holder's death, We pay the death benefit in one sum to the Certificate Holder's estate. If the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural person, and all of the Beneficiaries and contingent Beneficiaries die prior to the Annuitant's death, We will pay the death benefit in one sum to the Certificate Holder.

Section 5. Purchase Payments

  • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Purchase Payments - Subject to the maximum and minimum shown on the

Contract Schedule, the Certificate Holder may determine the amount and frequency of Purchase Payments. We reserve the right not to accept any Purchase Payment. We will declare from time to time the acceptability of additional Purchase Payments.

  have     

each Net Purchase Payment accumulate:

  (a)     

On a variable basis invested in shares of one or more Funds in which the Separate Account invests;

  (b)     

For guaranteed terms offered in the current deposit period(s) under the AG Account; or

  (c)     

In a combination of any of the available investment options.

  Net     

Purchase Payments must be allocated in whole percentages. For

  subsequent     

Purchase Payments, if no allocation instructions are

received with the Purchase Payment, the allocation will be as indicated in the most recent directive from the Certificate Holder. If the same guaranteed term(s) are not available, the next shortest will be used. If no shorter guaranteed term is available, the next longer guaranteed term will be used.

Section 6. Separate Account

  • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • General - The assets of the Separate Account, equal to the reserves

and other Contract liabilities that depend on the investment performance of the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business We may conduct. Income, gains or losses of the Separate Account, realized or unrealized, are credited to or charged against the assets of the Separate Account without regard to Our other income, gains or losses.

13

<PAGE>

6.02     

Investment Allocations to the Separate Account - The assets of the

  Separate     

Account are segregated by Fund. If the shares of any Fund are

  no     

longer available for investment by the Separate Account or if in

  our     

judgment, further investment in such shares should become

  inappropriate     

in view of the purpose of the Contract, We may cease to

  make     

such Fund shares available for investment under the Contract

  prospectively,     

or We may substitute shares of another Fund for shares

  already     

acquired. We may also, from time to time, add additional

  Funds.     

Any elimination, substitution or addition of Funds will be done

  in     

accordance with applicable state and federal securities laws. We

  reserve     

the right to substitute shares of another Fund for shares

  already     

acquired without a proxy vote.

6.03     

Valuation of Assets - The shares of the Funds will be valued at their

  net     

asset value at the end of each Valuation Period.

6.04     

Accumulation Unit - A Net Purchase Payment that is allocated to one or

  more     

Funds is credited to the Certificate Holder's Account as

  Accumulation     

Units. The number of Accumulation Units credited is

  determined     

by dividing the applicable portion of the Net Purchase

  Payment     

by the Accumulation Unit value for the appropriate Fund. The

  Accumulation     

Unit value used is that which is computed for the next

  Valuation     

Period after which the Purchase Payment is received at our

  home     

office. Accumulation Units attributable to the initial Purchase

  Payments     

will be credited within two business days of acceptance.

  Accumulation     

Unit values may increase or decrease from Valuation

  Period     

to Valuation Period.

6.05     

Net Return Factor for Each Valuation Period - The value of an

  Accumulation     

Unit for any Valuation Period is calculated by

  multiplying     

the Accumulation Unit value for the immediately preceding

  Valuation     

Period by the net return factor of the appropriate Fund for

  the     

current period.

  The     

net return factor for each Fund is equal to 1.0000000 plus the net

  return     

rate.

  The     

net return rate equals:

  (a)     

The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account at the end of a Valuation Period; minus

  (b)     

The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account at the start of the Valuation Period; plus or minus

  (c)     

Taxes (or reserves for taxes) on the Separate Account (if any); divided by

  (d)

of each Annuity payment after the first will not be affected by
variations in mortality or expense experience.

Section 7. AG Account

  • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • AG Account Guaranteed Interest Rate - All amounts allocated to the AG

Account earn a rate of interest that is guaranteed for a specified period of time. The rate will be credited daily and will never be less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate shown on the Contract Schedule. We determine the rate and it is not based on investment experience.

For guaranteed terms of one year or less, one guaranteed interest rate is credited for the full guaranteed term. For longer guaranteed terms, an initial guaranteed interest rate is credited from the date of deposit to the end of a specified period within the guaranteed term. There may be different guaranteed interest rate(s) declared for subsequent specified time intervals throughout the guaranteed term.

7.02     

Deposit Period - A calendar week, a calendar month, a calendar quarter, or any other period of time We specify during which Net Purchase Payment(s), transfers and reinvestments are accepted into the AG Account for one or more guaranteed terms. We reserve the right to extend the deposit period.

7.03     

Guaranteed Term - The period of time for which AG Account guaranteed interest rates are guaranteed on Net Purchase Payments. Transfers and reinvestments are made into a current deposit period for the AG

 

Account. Such period begins on the day following the close of the deposit period and ends on the designated Maturity Date. Guaranteed terms, if any, are offered at our discretion for various lengths of time ranging up to and including ten years.

 

During a deposit period, We may make available any number of guaranteed terms. The Certificate Holder may allocate Net Purchase Payments and transfers into any or all of the available guaranteed terms.

7.04     

Guaranteed Term(s) Groups - All AG Account guaranteed term(s) with the same length of time from the close of the deposit period until the designated Maturity Date.

7.05     

Maturity Date - The last day of a guaranteed term.

15

<PAGE>

7.06     

Allocation of Net Purchase Payments to the AG Account - When the

  Certificate     

Holder wishes to allocate all or any portion of a Net

  Purchase     

Payment to the Guaranteed Account, he or she must tell Us the

  percentage     

to apply to one or more of the AG Account guaranteed

  term(s)     

available during the current deposit period. If no allocation

  instructions     

are received, a Net Purchase Payment is allocated as

  indicated     

in the most recent directive from the Certificate Holder. If

  the     

same guaranteed term is not available for any amount allocated to

  the     

AG Account, We will allocate the amount to the next shortest

  guaranteed     

term available. If no shorter guaranteed term is available,

  We     

will allocate it to the next longest guaranteed term.

7.07     

AG Account Guaranteed Term Maturity Date and Maturity Value - On the

  maturity     

date, the value of the total of all amounts allocated to that

  guaranteed     

term is called the maturity value.

  When     

Certificate Holders have assets in the AG Account, at least

  eighteen     

(18) days before a maturity date, We notify them of the:

  (a)     

Projected maturity value; and

  (b)     

Guaranteed terms and the applicable guaranteed interest rates available during the current deposit period.

  When     

no allocation instructions are received and the assets in a

  guaranteed     

term have been reinvested by Us in another guaranteed term

  on     

the maturity date, the Certificate Holder may transfer or withdraw,

  during     

the month following the maturity date, the reinvested amount

  with     

interest earned (as of the date the request is received at our

  home     

office) without incurring a Market Value Adjustment. This

  transaction     

is allowed only once for each maturity date, regardless of

  whether     

the transfer or withdrawal is partial or full.

7.08     

Withdrawals and Transfers from the AG Account - When the Certificate

  Holder     

requests a withdrawal or transfer from the AG Account, if

  instructions     

are not provided by the Certificate Holder, amounts are

  withdrawn     

on a pro rata basis from the guaranteed term(s) groups in

  which     

the Certificate Holder's Account is currently invested. Within a

  guaranteed     

term group, the amount to be withdrawn will be withdrawn

  first     

from the oldest deposit period. Withdrawals or transfers from an

  AG     

Account guaranteed term before the maturity date are subject to a

  Market     

Value Adjustment, except for:

  (a)     

A one month period following the maturity date described in 7.07;

  (b)     

Transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging program; and

  (c)     

Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Option described in

Section 8.07.

Only a positive Market Value Adjustment will apply to amounts
transferred from the AG Account when the Certificate Holder elects
Annuity Option 2 or 3.

16

<PAGE>

7.09     

Reinvestment - We will mail a notice to the Certificate Holder before a guaranteed term's maturity date. This notice will contain the guaranteed terms available during the current deposit periods with their guaranteed interest rate(s) and projected maturity value. If no specific direction is given by the Certificate Holder prior to the maturity date, each maturity value will be reinvested in the current deposit period for a guaranteed term of the same duration. If a guaranteed term of the same duration is unavailable, each matured term value will automatically be reinvested in the current deposit period for the next shortest guaranteed term available. If no shorter guaranteed term is available, the next longer guaranteed term will be used. We will mail a confirmation statement to the Certificate Holder after the maturity date. This notice will state the guaranteed term and guaranteed interest rate(s) which will apply to the reinvested matured term value.

7.10     

AG Account Market Value Adjustment (Factor) - The Market Value Adjustment factor (MVA factor) reflects any change in interest rates from the time assets are allocated to the AG Account to the time they are transferred or withdrawn. Except as noted in Section 7.09, 10.02 and 12.01, an MVA factor is applied to any amount withdrawn or transferred from the AG Account before the end of a guaranteed term.

 

The amount withdrawn from the AG Account is multiplied by the MVA factor which is calculated as follows:

x
---
365

(1+i)
------------
x
---
365
(1+j)

Where:

i     

is the Deposit Period Yield

j     

is the Current Yield

x     

is the number of days remaining, (computed from Wednesday of the week of withdrawal) in the guaranteed Term.

Determination of MVA factor parameters:

A yield is computed at the close of the last business day of each week of the deposit period. The yield will equal the average of the yields on U.S. Treasury Notes which matured during the last three months of the applicable guaranteed term.

The deposit period yield is the average of those yields for the
deposit period. If withdrawal is made prior to the close of the
deposit period, it is the average of those yields on each week
preceding withdrawal.

The current yield is the average of the yields on the last business
day of the week preceding withdrawal on the same U.S. Treasury Notes
included in the deposit period yield.

17

<PAGE>

If no U.S. Treasury Notes matured during the last three months of the guaranteed term, We reserve the right to use the average of the yields on U.S. Treasury Notes that mature during a following quarter.

Section 8. Certificate Holder's Account Value; Transfers and Withdrawals During the Accumulation Period

  • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Certificate Holder's Account Value - The value of a Certificate

Holder's Account is determined by adding the value of the total of Accumulation Units attributed to the selected Fund(s) to the value of any amounts attributed to the AG Account.

8.02     

Transfers During the Accumulation Period - Before the Annuity Date,

  the     

Certificate Holder may transfer from any Fund or guaranteed term

  of     

the AG Account to:

  (a)     

Any other Fund; or

  (b)     

Any guaranteed term of the AG Account available in the current

deposit period.

Transfer requests can be submitted as a percentage or as a dollar amount. We may establish a minimum transfer amount. Within a guaranteed term group, the amount transferred is withdrawn first from the oldest deposit period, then from the next oldest, and so on until the amount requested is satisfied.

The Certificate Holder may make an unlimited number of transfers during the Accumulation Period. The number of free transfers allowed is shown on the Contract Schedule. Transfers in excess of that number may be subject to the transfer charge shown on the Contract Schedule. Transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging program do not count toward the annual limit. Transfers of a matured term value from the AG Account on or within one calendar month after a guaranteed term's maturity date do not count against the annual transfer limit.

Amounts applied to guaranteed terms of the AG Account may not be transferred to the Funds or to another guaranteed term during the deposit period or for 90 days after the close of the deposit period except for (1) matured term value(s) during the calendar month following the guaranteed term's maturity date; (2) amounts applied to an annuity option; (3) transfers from the one-year guaranteed term under the Dollar Cost Averaging program; and (4) amounts distributed under the Systematic Withdrawal Option.

Except as noted in Section 7.09, 10.02 and 12.01, transfers from
guaranteed terms of the AG Account before the Maturity Date are
subject to a Market Value Adjustment.

18

<PAGE>

8.03     

Withdrawals During the Accumulation Period - The Certificate Holder

  may     

withdraw all or a portion of the Certificate Holder's Account

  Value     

during the Accumulation Period by properly completing a

  withdrawal     

request form. Withdrawal requests can be submitted as a

  percentage     

or as a specific dollar amount. Net Purchase Payment

  amounts     

are withdrawn first, and then the excess value, if any. For

  any     

partial withdrawal, if instructions are not provided by the

  Certificate     

Holder, amounts are withdrawn on a pro rata basis from the

  Fund(s),     

and/or the guaranteed term(s) groups in which the Certificate

  Holder's     

Account is currently invested. Within a guaranteed term

  group,     

the amount to be withdrawn will be withdrawn first from the

  oldest     

deposit period, then from the next oldest, and so on until the

  amount     

requested is satisfied.

  After     

deduction of the maintenance charge, if applicable, the

  withdrawn     

amount shall be reduced by the applicable deferred sales

  charge     

and any applicable premium taxes.

8.04     

Deferred Sales Charge - The deferred sales charge only applies to the

  portion     

of the amount withdrawn attributable to Net Purchase

  Payment(s)     

and varies according to the elapsed time since receipt of

  the     

Purchase Payment. The deferred sales charge is shown on the

  Contract     

Schedule.

8.05     

Waiver of Deferred Sales Charge - No deferred sales charge is deducted

  when     

a Certificate Holder's Account Value is paid:

  (a)     

To a Beneficiary as a death benefit, except for Purchase Payments made by a surviving joint Certificate Holder as described in Section 10.02(b);

  (b)     

As a premium for an Annuity Option;

  (c)     

At least the number of months, as shown on the Contract Schedule, after the date of the first Purchase Payment and in an amount equal to or less than the percentage of the Certificate Holder's Account Value as shown on the Contract Schedule. This applies to the first withdrawal request, partial or full, in a calendar year.

  

The Certificate Holder's Account Value is calculated as of the date the withdrawal request is received in good order at our home office. This waiver is not available to the Certificate Holder while a SWO is in effect;

  (d)     

For a full withdrawal where the Certificate Holder's Account Value does not exceed the amount shown on the Contract Schedule and no withdrawals have been taken from the Certificate Holder's Account within the prior 12 months;

  (e)     

For a distribution made by Us under Section 8.06; or

  (f)     

For a distribution which is part of a SWO under Section 8.07.

  We     

reserve the right to allow the proceeds of a total withdrawal to be

  reinstated     

under the terms and conditions as established by Us from

  time     

to time.

8.06     

Payment of Adjusted Certificate Holder Account Value - Upon 90 day's

  written     

notice to the Certificate Holder, We will terminate any

  Certificate     

Holder's Account if the Certificate Holder's Account Value

  becomes     

less than $1,500 immediately following any partial withdrawal.

  We     

do not intend to exercise this right in cases where the Certificate

  Holder's     

Account Value is reduced to $1,500 or less solely due to

  investment     

performance. When We make a distribution pursuant to this

  provision,     

the deferred sales charge will not be deducted.

8.07     

Systematic Withdrawal Option (SWO) - We will allow the Certificate

  Holder     

to establish a schedule of withdrawals to be made automatically

  from     

the Certificate Holder's Account Value. All distributed amounts

  will     

be withdrawn on a pro rata basis from the Fund(s) and/or the

  guaranteed     

term(s) groups of the AG Account in which the Certificate

  Holder's     

Account is invested.

  The     

Certificate Holder must elect one of the following SWO methods:

  (a)     

Specified Payment: Payments of a designated dollar amount. The annual amount may not be greater than the percentage of the Certificate Holder's Account Value at time of the election as shown on the Contract Schedule. This annual dollar amount will remain constant. At our discretion, We may require a minimum payment amount; or

  (b)     

Specified Period: Payments which are made over a period of time which must be at least the minimum period as shown on the Contract Schedule. The annual amount paid each year is calculated by dividing the Certificate Holder's Account Value as of December 31 of the prior year by the number of payment years remaining; or

  (c)     

Specified Percentage: Payment of a designated percentage which cannot be greater than the percentage of the Certificate Holder's Account Value at the time of election as shown on the Contract Schedule. The percentage may be changed by written request. We reserve the right to limit the number of times the percentage may be changed. The annual amount is calculated by multiplying the Certificate Holder's Account Value as of December 31 of the year prior to the payment by the designated percentage.

  SWO     

payments will cease at the Certificate Holder's death (or if the

  Certificate     

Holder is a nonnatural person, at the death of the

  Annuitant)     

. A beneficiary may elect to continue SWO as provided in

  Section     

10.01.

  In     

our discretion, We may require a minimum initial Certificate

  Holder's     

Account Value for election of this option. SWO may be elected

  by     

submitting a completed and signed election form to Us. Once

  elected,     

this option may be revoked by submitting a written request to

  Us.     

SWO may be elected only once by the Certificate Holder or by a

  spousal     

Beneficiary.

  Certificate     

Holders should consult their tax adviser prior to

  requesting     

this distribution option. We are not responsible for any

  adverse     

tax consequences due to a Certificate Holder's receiving SWO

  payments.     

A ten (10) percent penalty tax may apply to distributions to

  a     

Certificate Holder who has not reached age 59 1/2. Upon death of the

  Certificate     

Holder, any payments will be made under the terms of

  Section     

10.

  Dollar     

Cost Averaging is not available to Certificate Holders who have

  elected     

SWO.

Section 9. Maintenance Charge

  • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Maintenance Charge - We will deduct an annual maintenance charge as

shown in the Contract Schedule from the Certificate Holder's Account during the Accumulation Period. We will deduct the maintenance charge on the anniversary of the Effective Date of the Certificate for the Certificate Holder's Account. This maintenance charge is also deducted upon withdrawal of the entire Adjusted Certificate Holder's Account. The maintenance charge is deducted proportionately from each investment option used.

Section 10. Proceeds Payable on Death

  • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Death of the Certificate Holder Prior to the Annuity Date - In the

event of the death of the Certificate Holder or a joint Certificate Holder prior to the Annuity Date, a death benefit is payable to the Beneficiary(ies) designated by the Certificate Holder. Upon the death of a joint Certificate Holder, the surviving joint Certificate Holder, if any, will be treated as the designated Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on record with Us at the time of death will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary. If the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural person, the death benefit will be payable to the Beneficiary(ies) at the death of the Annuitant.

A Beneficiary may request We pay the death benefit under one of the
methods described in Section 10.03. If the Beneficiary is the spouse
of the Certificate Holder, or the spouse of the Annuitant if the
Certificate Holder is a nonnatural person, he or she may elect to

continue the Certificate Holder's Account in his or her own name and
exercise all the Certificate Holder's rights under the Contract.

10.02     

Death Benefit Amount Prior to the Annuity Date -

  (a)     

Except as set forth below, the amount of the guaranteed death

   benefit     

value is equal to the greater of:

   (i)     

The Certificate Holder's Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which We receive at our home office due proof of death and election of the type of payment to be made; or

   (ii)     

The death benefit determined as of the Valuation Period corresponding to the date of death.

Until the first Effective Date anniversary, the death
benefit is equal to the Purchase Payments made by the
Certificate Holder prior to the Effective Date anniversary
less any withdrawals and any amounts applied to an Annuity
Option.

For each Certificate year thereafter, the death benefit
during the Certificate year equals the death benefit at the
beginning of the Certificate year plus Purchase Payments
made during the year less any withdrawals and any amounts
applied to an Annuity Option.

21

<PAGE>

On each Effective Date anniversary, the death benefit is
determined as follows:

(A)     

The death benefit on the previous Effective Date anniversary increased by the death benefit factor shown on the Contract Schedule; plus

(B)     

Purchase Payments made by the Certificate Holder during the Certificate year increased by the death benefit factor shown on the Contract Schedule for the portion of the year since the Purchase Payment was made; less

(C)     

Any withdrawals or amounts applied to an Annuity Option during the Certificate year increased by the death benefit factor shown on the Contract Schedule for the portion of the Certificate year since the withdrawal or election of Annuity option; or

(iii)     

The Certificate Holder's Account Value on the most recent seventh year anniversary of the Effective Date plus any Purchase Payments made after such Effective Date anniversary less any withdrawals and any amounts applied to an Annuity Option.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the death benefit under (ii) or
(iii) will not exceed the death benefit maximum amount shown on
the Contract Schedule.

The death benefit calculation described in (ii) and (iii) above,
applies until the Certificate Holder reaches the death benefit
maximum age shown on the Contract Schedule. If the Certificate
Holder is a nonnatural person, death provisions will be based on
the age of the Annuitant. Thereafter, the death benefit is only
adjusted for Purchase Payments, withdrawals and amounts applied to
Annuity Options. If the Certificate Holder reaches the death
benefit maximum age shown on the Contract Schedule prior to the
seventh anniversary of the Effective Date, the death benefit will
be the greater of (i) or (ii) above.

The excess, if any, of the guaranteed death benefit value over the
Certificate Holder's Account Value is determined when we receive
at our home office due proof of death and allocated to the Fund
shown on the Contract Schedule. The Certificate Holder's Account
Value plus any excess amount deposited becomes the Certificate
Holder's Account Value.

(b)     

In the case of a spousal Beneficiary who continued the Certificate Holder's Account in his or her own name, the death benefit shall be equal to the Adjusted Current Value less any applicable deferred sales charge on any Purchase Payment made after We have received at our home office due proof of death of the joint Certificate Holder (or Annuitant, if applicable).

When the Beneficiary withdraws or transfers all or any portion of the death benefit in the AG Account within six months after the date of death, the amount withdrawn or transferred from the AG Account will be the greater of:

(1) The aggregate Market Value Adjustment amount (the amount resulting from the application of relevant Market Value Adjustment factors); or

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/925981/0000950146-97-000634.txt

03/26/2018


 

Page 14 of 24

(2) The applicable portion of Certificate Holder's Account Value in
the AG Account.

22

<PAGE>

After the six-month period, when the Beneficiary withdraws or transfers all or any portion of the death benefit in the AG Account, the amount will be equal to the aggregate Market Value Adjustment amount. Only a positive market value adjustment will apply, however, to amounts transferred from the AG Account when the Beneficiary elects Annuity Option 2 or 3.

At the death of a spousal Beneficiary who continued the Certificate Holder's Account in his or her own name, when the Beneficiary withdraws or transfers all or any portion of the death benefit in the AG Account, the amount will be equal to the Aggregate Market Value Adjustment amount.

10.03     

Death Benefit Payment Methods - A non-spousal Beneficiary must elect the death benefit to be paid under one of the following methods in the event of the death of the Certificate Holder prior to the Annuity Date:

 

Method 1 - Lump sum payment of the death benefit; or

 

Method 2 - The payment of the entire death benefit within five years of the date of the Certificate Holder's death; or

 

Method 3 - Payment of the death benefit over the lifetime of the designated Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary with distribution beginning within one year of the date of death of the Certificate Holder.

 

Any portion of the death benefit not applied under Method 3 within one year of the date of Certificate Holder's death, or the death of the Annuitant if the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural person, must be distributed within five years of the date of death.

 

A spousal Beneficiary may elect to continue the Certificate Holder's Account in his or her name, elect a lump sum payment of the death benefit, or apply the Adjusted Certificate Holder's Account Value to an Annuity Option.

10.04     

Death of Certificate Holder On or After the Annuity Date - If the Certificate Holder who is not the Annuitant, dies on or after the Annuity Date, the remaining payments under the Annuity Option elected will be made to the Beneficiary at least as rapidly as under the

method     

of distribution in effect at the Certificate Holder's death.

10.05     

Death of the Annuitant - If the Annuitant, who is not a Certificate

Holder,     

dies on or before the Annuity Date, a new Annuitant may be

named.     

If no Annuitant is named, the Certificate Holder will be the

Annuitant.     

If the Certificate Holder is a nonnatural person, the death

benefit     

will be paid at the death of the Annuitant and no new

Annuitant     

may be named. If the Annuitant dies after the Annuity Date,

the     

death benefit, if any, will be payable to the Beneficiary as

specified     

in the Annuity Option elected. We will require proof of the

Annuitant's     

death. Death benefits will be paid at least as rapidly as

under     

the method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death.

Section 11. Delay of Payments

  • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Delay of Payments - We will make any payments under this Contract

within seven days after a request is received in good order. We reserve the right to suspend or postpone any type of payment from the Separate Account for any period when:

(a)     

The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings;

(b)     

Trading on the Exchange is restricted;

(c)     

An emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of securities held in the Separate Account or determine their value; or

(d)     

The Securities and Exchange Commission so permits delay for the protection of security holders.

The applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission will
govern as to whether the conditions in (b) or (c) exist.

We also reserve the right to delay any type of payment from the AG
Account for up to six months.

12.01     

Designation of Annuitant - The Certificate Holder and the Annuitant

  need     

not be the same person. The Certificate Holder names the

  Annuitant     

and during the Accumulation Period, may change the

  designated     

Annuitant. We change the Annuitant when We receive a

  written     

request in good order at our home office. We will not change

  the     

Annuitant when Annuity payments have commenced.

  The     

Certificate Holder elects an Annuity Option by telling Us to use

  all     

or any portion of the Certificate Holder's Account Value (minus

  any     

applicable premium taxes if not previously deducted) to purchase

  Annuity     

payments under an Annuity Option. If the Certificate Holder

  elects     

Annuity Option 1, the amount applied to purchase Annuity

  payments     

will be equal to the Adjusted Certificate Holder's Account

  Value.     

If the Certificate Holder elects Annuity Option 2 or 3, the

  amount     

applied to purchase Annuity payments will be the greater of:

  (1)     

The Adjusted Certificate Holder's Account Value; or

  (2)     

The Certificate Holder's Account Value.

  When     

an Annuity Option is chosen the Certificate Holder must designate

  a:     

  (a)     

Fixed Annuity using the General Account;

  (b)     

Variable Annuity using any of the Funds available during the Annuity Period; or

  (c)     

Combination of (a) and (b).

  If     

a fixed Annuity is chosen, We will calculate the amount using an

  interest     

assumption no less than the percentage specified on the

  Contract     

Schedule. We may calculate the amount using a higher interest

  rate.     

24

<PAGE>

If a variable Annuity is chosen, an Assumed Annual Net Return Rate of 5% may be chosen. If not chosen, We will use an Assumed Annual Net Return Rate of 3.5%

Payments are made on a monthly basis to the Certificate Holder unless the Certificate Holder requests a different mode of payment.

Once elected, an Annuity Option may not be revoked, except for Option 1 when elected on a variable basis.

12.02     

Terms of Annuity Options - The minimum first payment amount must be at

  least     

$50 per month and at least $250 per year.

  If     

the Certificate Holder elects a fixed Annuity and We determine that

  the     

Certificate Holder would receive larger payments by applying the

  Certificate     

Holder's Account Value, reduced by the deferred sales

  charge,     

to a single premium immediate Annuity currently offered by Us,

  We     

will make the larger payments.

  We     

determine the first payment of a variable Annuity, or the payment

  amount     

of a fixed Annuity, using the Annuitant's (and second

  Annuitant's     

if applicable) adjusted age which We calculate as follows:

  (a)     

If Annuity payments begin any time between July 1, 1992 and

   December     

31, 1999, the adjusted age is the Annuitant's age as of

   the     

birthday closest in time to the Annuity Date reduced by one

   (1)     

year.

  (b)     

If the Annuity begins any time between January 1, 2000 and

   December     

31, 2009, the adjusted age is the Annuitant's age as of

   the     

birthday closest in time to the Annuity Date reduced by two

   (2)     

years.

  (c)     

For each succeeding decade, the adjusted age is the Annuitant's

   age     

as determined in (b), reduced by one additional year.

  The     

Annuity rates for Options 2 and 3 are based on mortality from 1983

  Table     

A.

  Assumed     

Annual Net Return Rate is the interest rate used to determine

  the     

amount of the first Annuity payment under a variable Annuity. The

  Separate     

Account must earn this rate plus enough to cover the

  mortality     

and expense risks charges (which may include profit) and

  administrative     

charges if future variable Annuity payments are to

  remain     

level.

25

<PAGE>

The Certificate Holder must give written notice to Us at least 30 days before the Annuity payments begin, electing or changing:

(a)     

The date on which Annuity payments are to begin;

(b)     

The Annuity Option;

(c)     

Whether the payments are to be made monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually;

(d)     

The investment options used to provide Annuity payments.

The first Annuity payment may not be earlier than one (1) calendar
year after the initial Purchase Payment, nor later than the later of
the:

(a)     

First day of the month following the Annuitant's birthday shown on the Contract Schedule; or

(b)     

Tenth anniversary of the last Purchase Payment. In lieu of the election of an Annuity, the Certificate Holder may request a lump sum payment.

12.03     

Annuity Unit - The number of Annuity Units per Fund is based on the

  amount     

of the first variable Annuity payment which is equal to:

  (a)     

The portion of the Certificate Holder's Account Value (minus any premium taxes) applied to pay a variable Annuity; divided by,

  (b)     

1000; multiplied by,

  (c)     

The payment rate for the Annuity Option chosen.

  Such     

amount, or portion, of the variable Annuity payment will be

  divided     

by the Annuity Unit value for the appropriate Fund on the

  tenth     

Valuation Period before the due date of the first payment to

  determine     

the number of each Fund's Annuity Units. The number of each

  Fund's     

Annuity Unit remains fixed. Each future payment is equal to the

  sum     

of the products of each Fund's Annuity Unit value multiplied by

  the     

appropriate number of units. The Fund's Annuity Unit value on the

  tenth     

Valuation Period prior to the due date of the payment is used.

12.04     

Annuity Unit Value - For any Valuation Period, a Fund's Annuity Unit

  value     

is equal to:

  (a)     

The value for the previous Valuation Period; multiplied by,

  (b)     

The Annuity Net Return Factor for the Valuation Period; multiplied by,

  (c)     

A daily factor to reflect the Assumed Annual Net Return Rate (the factor for 3.5% per year is .9999058; for 5% per year it is .9998663).

  The     

dollar value of a Fund(s) Annuity Unit values and payments may go

  up     

or down due to investment gain or loss.

12.05     

Annuity Net Return Factor - The Annuity net return factor is used to

  compute     

all Separate Account Annuity payments for any Fund.

26

<PAGE>

The Annuity net return factor(s) for each Fund is equal to 1.0000000 plus the net return rate. The net return rate is equal to:

(a)     

The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account at the end of a Valuation Period; minus,

(b)     

The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account at the start of the Valuation Period; plus or minus,

(c)     

Taxes (or reserves for taxes) on the Separate Account (if any); divided by

(d)     

The total value of the Fund(s) Accumulation Units and Fund(s) Annuity Units of the Separate Account at the start of the Valuation Period; minus,

(e)     

A daily actuarial charge as shown of the Contract Schedule for Annuity mortality and expense risks and profit and a daily administrative charge which will not exceed the administrative charge as shown on the Contract Schedule.

The net return rate may be more or less than zero (0) percent.

The value of a share of the Fund is equal to the net assets of the
Fund divided by the number of shares outstanding.

12.06     

Annuity Options

  Option     

1 - Payments for a Stated Period of Time - An Annuity will be

  paid     

for the number of years chosen. The number of years must be at

  least     

5 and not more than 30.

  If     

payments for this Annuity Option are made under a variable Annuity,

  the     

present value of any remaining payments may be withdrawn at any

  time.     

  Option     

2 - Life Income - An Annuity will be paid for the life of the

  Annuitant.     

If also chosen, We will guarantee payments for 60, 120,

  180,     

or 240 months.

  Option     

3 - Life Income Based upon the Lives of Two Annuitants - An

  Annuity     

will be paid during the lives of the Annuitant and a second

  Annuitant.     

Payments will continue until both Annuitants have died.

  When     

this Annuity Option is chosen, a choice must be made of:

  (a)     

100% of the payment to continue after the first death;

  (b)     

66 2/3% of the payment to continue after the first death;

  (c)     

50% of the payment to continue after the first death;
