In the section entitled "Investment Alternatives: The Fixed Account Options" on
page 21, the following sentence is added after the last sentence of the first
paragraph:

Loan Payments may not be allocated to the Fixed Account(s).


The following sentence is added to the end of the fifth paragraph on page 29:

We will charge a Withdrawal Charge and apply a Market Value Adjustment, if
applicable, on a distribution to repay the loan in full, in the event of loan
default.


The following sentences are added to the end of the first full paragraph from
the bottom on page 29:

Generally, loan payments are allocated to the Subaccount(s) in the proportion
that you have selected for Purchase Payments. Allocations of loan payments are
not permitted to the Fixed Accounts (Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account and
Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option). If your Purchase Payment allocation
includes any of the Fixed Accounts, the percentages allocated to the Fixed
Accounts will be allocated instead to the PIMCO Money Market Subaccount.
