SUMMARY
This prospectus describes a flexible variable universal life policy offered by
the Company. This is a brief summary of the Policy's features. More detailed
information follows later in this prospectus.
The Policy
The Policy is designed to provide you with:
o insurance protection;
o a death benefit payable at the death of the insured; and
o flexibility in:
o the amount and frequency of premium payments (subject to certain
limitations); and o the amount of life insurance proceeds payable under the
Policy.
You may allocate your net premium payments to divisions and/or the Fixed
Account. All divisions may not be available in all states. A current list of
divisions available in your state may be obtained from a sales representative or
our home office.
Each division invests in shares of an underlying mutual fund. More detailed
information about the underlying mutual funds may be found in the current
prospectus for each underlying mutual fund.
The underlying mutual funds are NOT available to the general public directly.
The underlying mutual funds are available only as investment options in variable
life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance
companies and qualified plans. Some of the underlying mutual funds have been
established by investment advisers that manage publicly traded mutual funds
having similar names and investment objectives. While some of the underlying
mutual funds may be similar to, and may in fact be modeled after publicly traded
mutual funds, you should understand that the underlying mutual funds are not
otherwise directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Consequently, the
investment performance of publicly traded mutual funds and of any underlying
mutual fund may differ substantially.

Premiums
The Company guarantees that the Policy will stay in force for the first five
policy years if you have paid enough premium to meet the no lapse guarantee
provision (see THE POLICY - Payment of Premiums).
Your initial net premium is allocated to the Money Market division at the end of
the valuation date we receive the premium. Twenty-one days after the effective
date of the Policy, the money is reallocated using your allocation instructions
(see THE POLICY - Allocation of Premiums). Any subsequent net premiums are
allocated to divisions and/or the Fixed Account.
Policy Value
Your Policy value is:
o the value(s) of your division(s)
o plus the value of your Fixed Account
o plus the value of your Loan Account.
It is possible that the investment performance could cause a loss of the entire
amount allocated to the divisions. Without additional premium payments or
investments in the Fixed Account or a death benefit guarantee rider, this could
result in no death benefit upon the insured's death.
Fixed Account
The Company guarantees that net premiums allocated to the Fixed Account earn
interest at a guaranteed rate. In no event will the guaranteed interest rate be
less than 3%, accrued daily, compounded annually.
Transfers
You may transfer amounts between the divisions and/or the Fixed Account.
Policy Loans
You may borrow against your policy value any time the Policy has a net surrender
value. The minimum amount of a loan is $500.
Loan Account
When you take a policy loan, we establish a Loan Account. We charge interest on
your policy loan. An amount equal to the amount of the policy loan is
transferred to the Loan Account from your divisions and/or Fixed Account. The
Loan Account earns interest.
Surrenders (total and partial)
Total Surrender
o You may surrender your Policy and receive the net surrender value.
o We calculate the net surrender value as of the business day we receive your
written request.
o A surrender charge is imposed on total surrenders within ten years of the
policy date (another date may apply if the Policy has been reinstated or
the policy face amount increased).
Partial Surrender
o After the first policy year, you may request a partial surrender of the net
surrender value.
o The minimum amount of partial surrender is $500.
o You may make up to two partial surrenders in a policy year the total of
which may not be greater than 75% of the net surrender value (as of the
date of the request for the first partial surrender in that policy year).
o The reduction in total face amount will be made as a last-in, first-out
basis.
Charges and Deductions
Premium Expense Charge
Deductions from premiums during each of the first five years (and with respect
to premiums made because of a policy face amount increase, during the first five
years after the increase) equal:
o sales charge of 3.0% of premiums paid
o plus 2.20% for state and local taxes
o plus 1.25% for federal taxes.
Deductions after the first five policy years (and after five years of a policy
face amount increase) include:
o 2.20% for state and local taxes
o plus 1.25% for federal taxes.
Surrender Charges
A surrender charge is imposed on policy termination or total surrender during
the first ten policy years. A policy face amount increase has its own surrender
charge period that begins on the adjustment date. (see CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS -
Surrender Charge).
Surrender Charge Percentage
The surrender charge is (a) plus (b) multiplied by ( c) where:
(a) is the deferred administrative charge of $3 per $1,000 of policy face
amount (but no more than $1,500 per Policy);
(b) is the deferred sales charge of 47.25% times premiums paid (up to a maximum
of two target premiums) (see CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS - Surrender Charge);
and
(c) is the applicable surrender charge percentage shown below:

(1) Principal Management Corporation voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of
its fee. Without the waiver, the total annual expenses through December 31,
2000 would have been:

(2) Principal Management Corporation has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the
total annual expenses through April 30, 2002 so that they will not exceed:
LargeCap Growth 1.20%
LargeCap Stock Index 0.40%
MidCap Growth Equity 1.10%
(3) The fund has a stepped fee schedule. As a result, the management fee will
decrease as the assets increase, VP Ultra 1.00% of first $20 billion 0.95%
over $20 billion.
(4) The Company and Princor Financial Services Corporation may receive a
portion of the underlying fund expenses for recordkeeping, marketing and
distribution services.
(5) The Dreyfus Corporation has agreed, until December 31, 2001, to waive
receipt of a portion of its fees. Without the waiver, the fee would be
1.78%.
(6) Actual annual class operating expenses were lower because a portion of the
brokerage commissions that the fund paid was used to reduce the fund's
expenses, and/or because through arrangements with the fund's custodian,
credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to
reduce a portion of the fund's custodian expenses. See the accompanying
fund prospectus for details.
(7) Annual expenses are based upon expenses for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2000, restated to reflect a reduction in the management fee for the
Janus Aspen Aggressive Growth Portfolio.
</FN>
Death Benefits and Proceeds
The death proceeds are paid to the beneficiary(ies) when the insured dies. Death
proceeds are calculated as of the date of death of the insured. The amount of
the death proceeds is:
o the death benefit plus interest (as explained in DEATH BENEFITS AND RIGHTS
- Death Proceeds);
o plus proceeds from any benefit riders on the life of the insured;
o minus policy loans and unpaid loan interest;
o minus any overdue monthly policy charges.
The Policy provides for three death benefit options. You choose an option on
your application. Subject to certain conditions, you may change your option
after the Policy has been issued.
Death proceeds are paid in cash or applied under a benefit payment option. We
pay interest on the death proceeds from the date of death of the insured until
the date of payment or application under a benefit payment option.
Maturity Proceeds
If the insured is living on the maturity date, we will pay you (the owner) an
amount equal to the net surrender value. The Policy then terminates. Maturity
proceeds are paid in cash lump sum or applied under a benefit payment option.
Adjustment Options
You may send us a written request to increase or decrease the policy face

guidelines in effect at the time you request the increase.

Subject to certain conditions, you may reinstate a Policy that terminated
because of insufficient values.

THE COMPANY
The Company is a stock life insurance company with its home office at: Principal
Financial Group, Des Moines, Iowa 50306. It is authorized to transact life and
annuity business in all of the United States and the District of Columbia. The
Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Services, Inc.
On June 24, 1879, the Company was incorporated under Iowa law as a mutual life
insurance company named Bankers Life Association. It changed its name to Bankers
Life Company in 1911 and then to Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company in
1986. The name change to Principal Life Insurance Company and reorganization
into a mutual holding company structure took place July 1, 1998.
PRINCIPAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY VARIABLE LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account was established under Iowa law on November 2, 1987. It was
then registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). This registration does not involve SEC supervision of the
investments or investment policies of the Separate Account.
The income, gains, and losses, whether or not realized, of the Separate Account
are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other
income, gains, or losses of the Company. Obligations arising from the Policy,
including the promise to make benefit option payments, are our general corporate
obligations. However, the Policy provides that the portion of the Separate
Account's assets equal to the reserves and other liabilities under the Policy
are not charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business of the
Company.
The assets of each division invest in a corresponding underlying mutual fund.
New divisions may be added and made available. Divisions may also be eliminated
from the Separate Account following SEC approval.
THE FUNDS
The funds are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940
as open-end diversified management investment companies. The funds provide the

An Investment Advisor agrees to provide investment advisory services for a
specific underlying Mutual Fund or underlying Mutual Fund Account. For these
services, the Investment Advisor is paid a fee.
The Company purchases and sells fund shares for the Separate Account at their
net asset value without any sales or redemption charge. The Separate Account has
divisions that correspond to interests in the underlying mutual funds. The
assets of each division are separate from the others. A division's performance
has no effect on the investment performance of any other division.
THE POLICY
The descriptions that follow are based on provisions of the Policy offered by
this prospectus.
To Buy a Policy
A completed application and required supplements must be submitted to us through
an agent or broker selling the Policy.
The minimum policy face amount when the Policy is originally issued is $100,000.
We reserve the right to increase or decrease the minimum policy face amount.
To issue a Policy, we require that the insured be age 85 or younger as of the
policy date. Other underwriting restrictions may apply.
An applicant for the Policy must:
o furnish satisfactory evidence of insurability of the insured; and
o meet our insurance underwriting guidelines and suitability rules.
If you want insurance coverage to start at the time the application is
submitted, you must send a payment with your completed application. The amount
is shown on the policy illustration. If this amount is submitted with the
application, a conditional receipt is given to you. The receipt acknowledges the
initial payment and details any interim conditional insurance coverage.
We reserve the right to reject any application or related premium if we
determine that our underwriting guidelines, suitability rules or procedures have
not been met.
Policy Date
If we issue a Policy, a policy date is determined. Policies will not be dated on
the 29th, 30th or 31st of any month. Policies that would otherwise be dated on
these dates are dated on the 28th of the same month. Policies that are issued on
a COD basis and that would otherwise be dated on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a
month will be dated on the first day of the following month. Your policy date is
shown on the current data pages.
Upon specific request and our approval, your Policy may be backdated. The policy
date may not be more than six months prior to the date of application (or
shorter period if required by state law). Payment of at least the monthly policy
charges is required for the backdated period. Monthly policy charges are
deducted from the policy value for the backdated period.
Effective Date
The Policy date and the effective date are the same unless:
o a backdated Policy date is requested; or
o a Policy is applied for on a COD basis (the effective date is the date we
received at least the monthly policy charge); or
o application amendments are required (the effective date is the date we
receive, review and accept amendments).
The insurance coverage does not take effect until you actually receive the
Policy. If the insured was to die before the owner actually receives the Policy,
there is no coverage under the Policy (coverage is determined solely under the
terms of conditional receipt, if any).
Payment of Premiums
The amount and frequency of your premium payments affects the policy value, the
net surrender value and how long the Policy remains in force. After the initial
premium, you may determine the amount and timing of subsequent premium payments
within certain restrictions. The no lapse guarantee premium is shown on the
current data pages for your Policy. You must pay premiums to us at our home
office.
If the net surrender value on any monthly date is less than the monthly policy
charge, a 61-day grace period begins. However, during the first 60 policy
months, the Policy will stay in force if (a minus b) is greater than or equal to
(c) where:
(a) is the sum of the premiums paid;
(b) is the sum of all existing policy loans, unpaid loan interest, partial
surrenders; and
(c) is the sum of the no lapse guarantee monthly premiums since the policy date
to the most recent monthly date.
After the first 60 policy months, making premium payments under your planned
periodic premium schedule does not guarantee that your Policy will stay in force
unless:
o your Policy's net surrender value is at least equal to the monthly policy
charge on the current monthly date; or
o the death benefit guarantee rider is in effect.
Preauthorized withdrawals may be set up on a monthly basis (to allow us to
automatically deduct premium payments from your checking or other financial
institution account). We send premium reminder notices to you if you establish
an annual, semiannual or quarterly premium payment schedule. You may also make
unscheduled payments to us at our home office or by payroll deduction (where
permitted by state law and approved by us).
Premium Limitations
In no event may the total of all premiums paid, both scheduled and unscheduled,
be more than the current maximum premium payments allowed for life insurance
under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). If you make a premium payment that
would result in total premiums exceeding the current maximum limitation, we only
accept that portion of the payment that makes total premiums equal the maximum.
Any excess will be returned and no further premiums are accepted until allowed
by the current maximum premium limitations.
Allocation of Premiums
Your initial net premium (and other net premiums we receive prior to the
effective date and twenty days after the effective date) is allocated to the
Money Market division at the end of the valuation date we receive the premium.
Twenty-one days after the effective date, the money is reallocated to the
divisions and/or to the Fixed Account according to your instructions. Generally,
the twenty day period corresponds to the maximum free-look period (except for
policies purchased in California by applicants over age 60) (see, Ten Day
Examination Offer (Free-Look Provision)). If the twenty-first day is not a
business day, the transfer will occur on the first business day following the
twenty-first day from the effective date.
Example: The effective date of your Policy is February 1st. Your net
premium is allocated to the Money Market division at the
end of the valuation period we receive the premium. At the
close of business on February 21st, the net premium is
reallocated to the division and/or Fixed Account that you
selected.
Net premium payments received after the twenty-day period are allocated to the
divisions or to the Fixed Account according to your instructions. For each
division and the Fixed Account, the allocation percentage must be zero or a
whole number. The total of all the percentages for the divisions and the Fixed
Account must equal 100. The percentage allocation for future premium payments
may be changed, without charge, at any time by:
o sending a written request to us;
o if telephone privileges apply, calling us at 1-800-247-9988; or
o if internet privileges apply visiting www.principal.com.
The allocation changes are effective at the end of the valuation period in which
your new instructions are received.
Ten Day Examination Offer (Free-Look Provision)
Under state law, you have the right to return the Policy for any reason during
the free-look period and receive your premiums paid. (If you apply for your
Policy in California, the amount refunded is described below.) Your request to
return the Policy must be in writing. The request and the Policy must be mailed
to us or returned to the agent no later (as determined by the postmark) than the
last day of the free-look period as shown below.
The free-look period is the later of:
o 10 days* after the Policy is delivered to you;
o 10 days* after a written notice is delivered or mailed to you which tells
about the cancellation right; or
o 45 days after you complete the application.
* Different free-look periods apply if your Policy is issued in:
o California and you are age 60 and over (30 day free-look period);
o Colorado (15 day free-look period); or
o Idaho or North Dakota (20 day free-look period).
If you applied for your Policy in California, the amount refunded is:
o the policy value as of the date we receive your written request for
cancellation;
o plus the premium expense charge(s) deducted from the premium;
o plus the monthly policy charge(s) deducted from the policy value.
NOTE:
o See GENERAL PROVISIONS - Delay of Payments.
o If the purchase of this Policy is a replacement for another life insurance
policy or an annuity contract, different free-look periods may apply. We
reserve the right to keep the initial premium payment in the Money Market
division longer than 20 days to correspond to the free-look periods of a
particular state's replacement requirements.
Policy Values
Your policy value is equal to the sum of the values in your divisions, Fixed
Account and Loan Account (see THE FIXED ACCOUNT and THE POLICY - Loan Account).
The policy value also reflects your premium payments, partial surrenders, policy
loans and the policy expenses deducted from the divisions and the Fixed Account.
There is no guaranteed minimum division value. Its value reflects the investment
experience of the division that you choose. It is possible that the investment
performance could cause a loss of the entire amount allocated to the divisions.
Without additional premium payments or investments in the Fixed Account or a
death benefit guarantee rider, this could result in no death benefit upon the
insured's death.
At the end of any valuation period, your value in a division is:
o the number of units you have in the division
o multiplied by the value of a unit in the division.
The number of units is the total of units purchased by allocations to the
division from:
o your initial premium payment (less premium expense charges);
o plus subsequent premium payments (less premium expense charges);
o plus transfers from another division or the Fixed Account
minus units sold:
o for partial surrenders from the division;
o as part of a transfer to another division, the Fixed Account or the Loan
Account; and
o to pay monthly policy charges.
Unit values are calculated each valuation date. To calculate the unit value of a
division, the unit value from the previous valuation date is multiplied by the
division's net investment factor for the current valuation period. The number of
units does not change due to a change in unit value.
The net investment factor measures the performance of each division. The net
investment factor for a valuation period is calculated as follows:
[{the share price of the underlying mutual fund account at the end of the
valuation period before that day's transactions
plus
the per share amount of the dividend (or other distribution) made by the mutual
fund account during the valuation period}
divided by
the share price of the underlying mutual fund account at the end of the previous
valuation period after that day's transactions].
When an investment owned by an underlying mutual fund pays a dividend, the
dividend increases the net asset value of a share of the underlying mutual fund
as of the date the dividend is recorded. As the net asset value of a share of an
underlying mutual fund increases, the unit value of the corresponding division
also reflects an increase. Payment of a dividend under these circumstances does
not increase the number of units you own in the division.
Division Transfers
You may request an unscheduled transfer or set up a periodic transfer by:
o sending us a written request;
o calling us if telephone privileges apply (1-800-247-9988); or
o visiting www.principal.com (if internet privileges apply).
You must specify the dollar amount or percentage to transfer from each division.
The transfer is made, and the values determined as of the end of the valuation
period in which we receive your request. In states where allowed, we reserve the
right to reject transfer instructions from someone providing them for multiple
Policies for which he or she is not the owner.
You may not make a transfer to the Fixed Account if:
o a transfer has been made from the Fixed Account to a division within six
months; or
o immediately after the transfer, the Fixed Account value would be more than
$1,000,000 (without our prior approval).
Unscheduled Transfers
You may make unscheduled transfers from a division to another division or to the
Fixed Account. The minimum transfer amount is the lesser of $100 or the value of
your division.
Scheduled Transfers (dollar cost averaging (DCA))
You may elect to have automatic transfers made on a periodic basis without an
additional charge.
o The amount of the transfer is:
o the dollar amount you select (the minimum is the lesser of $100 or the
value of the division); or
o a percentage of the division value as of the date you specify (other
than the 29th, 30th or 31st).
o You select the transfer date (other than the 29th, 30th or 31st) and the
transfer frequency (annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly).
o If the selected date is not a valuation date, the transfer is completed on
the next valuation date.
o The value of the division must be equal to or more than $2,500 when your
scheduled transfers begin.
o Transfers continue until your interest in the division has a zero balance
or we receive notice to stop them.
o We reserve the right to limit the number of divisions from which
simultaneous transfers are made. In no event will it ever be less than two.
Fixed Account Transfers
Transfers from your investment in the Fixed Account to your division(s) are
subject to certain limitations. You may transfer amounts by making either a
scheduled or unscheduled Fixed Account transfer. You may not make both a
scheduled and unscheduled Fixed Account transfer in the same policy year. In
states where allowed, we reserve the right to reject transfer instructions from
someone providing them for multiple Policies for which he or she is not the
owner.
Unscheduled Transfers
You may make one unscheduled Fixed Account transfer to a division(s) within the
30 day period following each policy anniversary.
o You must specify the dollar
amount or percentage to be transferred (not to exceed 25% of the Fixed Account
value as of the most
recent policy anniversary).
o The minimum transfer amount must be at least $100 (or the entire value of your
Fixed Account if less).
o If your Fixed Account value is less than $1,000, you
may transfer up to 100% of your Fixed Account.
Scheduled Transfers (dollar cost averaging (DCA))
You may make scheduled transfers on a monthly basis from the Fixed Account to
your division(s) without an additional charge as follows:
o The value of your Fixed Account must be equal to or more than $2,500 when
your scheduled transfers begin. We reserve the right to change this amount
but it will never be more than $10,000.
o The amount of the transfer is:
o the dollar amount you select (minimum of $100); or
o a percentage of the Fixed Account value (the maximum amount of the
transfer is 2% of the Fixed Account value as of the specified date) as
of the date you specify which may be:
o the later of the policy date or most recent policy anniversary
date; or
o the date the Company receives your request.
o Transfers occur on a date you specify (other than the 29th, 30th or 31st of
any month).
o If the selected date is not a valuation date, the transfer is completed on
the next valuation date.
Scheduled transfers continue until your value in the Fixed Account has a zero
balance or we receive your notice to stop them. You may change the amount of the
transfer once each policy year by:
o sending us a written request;
o calling us if telephone privileges apply (1-800-247-9988); or
o visiting www.principal.com (if internet privileges apply).
If you stop the transfers, you may not start them again until six months after
the last scheduled transfer.
Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing (APR)
APR allows you to maintain a specific percentage of your policy value in your
divisions over time.
EXAMPLE: You may choose to rebalance so that 50% of your policy values
are in the Bond division and 50% in the Capital Value
division. At the end of the specified period, market changes
may have caused 60% of your value to be in the Bond division
and 40% in the Capital Value division. By rebalancing, units
from the Bond division are sold and the proceeds are used to
purchase units in the Capital Value division so that 50% of
the policy values are once again invested in each division.
o You may elect APR at the time of application or after the Policy has been
issued.
o APR transfers:
o do not begin until the expiration of the free-look period;
o are done without charge;
o may be done on the frequency you specify:
o quarterly APR transfers may be done on a calendar year or policy
year basis,
o semiannual or annual APR transfers may only be done on a policy
year basis.
o may be done:
o if telephone privileges apply, by calling us at 1-800-247-9988;
o mailing us your written request;
o faxing your request to us; or
o if internet privileges apply visiting www.principal.com.
o The transfers are made at the end of the next valuation period after we
receive your instruction.
o APR is not available for values in the Fixed Account. If you have scheduled
transfers from divisions, APR is not available for those divisions.
Policy Loans
While your Policy is in effect and has a net surrender value, you may borrow
money from us with the Policy as the security for the policy loan.
o The minimum policy loan is $500.
o The maximum amount you may borrow is 90% of the net surrender value as of
the date we process the policy loan.
o If telephone privileges apply, you may request a policy loan of $5,000 or
less by calling us at 1-800-247-9988. If you do not have telephone
privileges or are requesting a policy loan of more than $5,000, your
request must be made in writing.
o Generally, policy loan proceeds are sent within five business days from the
date we receive your request (see GENERAL PROVISIONS - Delay of Payments).
o Requests for policy loans from any joint owner are binding on all joint
owners.
Loan Account
When a policy loan is taken, an amount equal to the loan is transferred from
your division(s) and Fixed Account to your Loan Account. Loan Accounts are part
of our General Account. You may instruct us on the proportions to be taken from
your accounts. If you do not provide such instruction, the loan amount is
withdrawn in the same proportion as the allocation used for the most recent
monthly policy charge. Any loan interest due and unpaid is transferred in the
same manner.
Your Loan Account earns interest from the date of transfer. The loan account
interest rate is 4.00% per year. Interest accrues daily and is paid at the end
of the policy year.
You are charged interest on your policy loan. During the first ten policy years,
the interest rate is 5.50% per year. After policy year ten, the interest rate is
3.80% per year. Interest accrues daily and is due and payable at the end of the
policy year. If interest is not paid when due, it is added to the loan amount.
Adding unpaid interest to the policy loan amount causes additional amounts to be
withdrawn from your Fixed Account and/or division(s) and transferred to the Loan
Account. Withdrawals are made in the same proportions as described above.
Policy loans and unpaid loan interest reduce your net surrender value. If the
net surrender value is less than the monthly policy charges on a monthly date,
the 61-day grace period provision applies (see POLICY TERMINATION AND
REINSTATEMENT - Policy Termination).
While the Policy is in force and before the insured dies, policy loans and loan
interest may be repaid as follows:
o policy loans may be repaid totally or in part;
o repayments are allocated to the division(s) and Fixed Account in the
proportions used for allocation of premium payments; and
o payments that we receive that are not designated as premium payments are
applied as loan repayments if a policy loan is outstanding.
A policy loan generally has a permanent effect on policy values. If a policy
loan had not been made, the policy value would reflect the investment experience
of the division(s) and the interest credited to the Fixed Account. In addition,
policy loans and unpaid loan interest are subtracted from:
o death proceeds at the death of the insured;
o surrender value upon total surrender or termination of a Policy; and
o maturity proceeds payable at maturity.
Surrenders
You must send us a written request for any surrender. The request must be signed
by all owners, irrevocable beneficiary(ies), if any, and any assignees.
Total surrender
You may surrender the Policy on or before the maturity date while the Policy is
in effect. You receive the net surrender value at the end of the valuation
period during which we receive your surrender request. The net surrender value
is the total of the values of your divisions plus your Fixed Account plus your
Loan Account minus any applicable surrender charge, policy loans and unpaid loan
interest (see CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS - Surrender Charge).
o We reserve the right to require you to return the Policy to us prior to
making any payment though this does not affect the amount of the cash
surrender value.
o If the total surrender is within ten years of the policy date or a policy
face amount increase, a surrender charge is imposed.
Partial surrender
After the first policy anniversary and prior to the maturity date, you may
surrender a part of the Fixed Account and/or division value by sending us a
written request. The surrender is effective as of the end of the valuation
period during which we receive your written request for surrender. You may not
request more than two partial surrenders in each policy year.
The minimum amount of a partial surrender is $500. The total of your two partial
surrenders during a policy year may not be greater than 75% of the net surrender
value (as of the date of the request for the first partial surrender in that
policy year). The partial surrender may not decrease the policy face amount to
less than $100,000.
Your policy value is reduced by the amount of the surrender. We surrender units
from the division and/or values from the Fixed Account to equal the dollar
amount of the surrender request. The surrender is deducted from your Fixed
Account value and/or your division(s) according to the surrender allocation
percentages you specify. If surrender allocation percentages are not specified,
we use your monthly policy charge allocation percentages. Reduction of the total
face amount is made on a last-in, first-out basis. No surrender charge is
imposed on a partial surrender.
If Option 1 death benefit is in effect, the total face amount is reduced by the
amount of the partial surrender. If Option 3 death benefit is in effect, then
the total face amount may be reduced by the amount of the partial surrender if
the total partial surrenders exceed the premiums paid. Any reduction of the
total face amount will be made on a last in, first out basis. Total and partial
surrenders from the Policy are generally paid within five business days of our
receipt of your written request for surrender. Certain delays in payment are
permitted (see GENERAL PROVISIONS - Delay of Payments).
DEATH BENEFITS AND RIGHTS
Death Proceeds
If the insured dies before the maturity date, we pay death proceeds.
o We must receive proof of the death of the insured and all other required
documents.
o Payments are made to your named beneficiary(ies) under your designated
death benefit option (see GENERAL PROVISIONS - Beneficiary).
The payments are made in cash lump sum or under a benefit payment option
selected by the beneficiary(ies). Death proceeds are calculated as of the date
of the insured's death and include:
o the death benefit described below;
o plus proceeds from any benefit rider on the insured's life;
o minus policy loans and unpaid loan interest;
o minus any overdue monthly policy charges if the insured died during a grace
period;
o plus interest on the death proceeds as required by state law.
Death Benefit Option
You choose death benefit Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3 at the time of
application.
Option 1
The death benefit is the greater of 1) the Policy's current face amount, or 2)
the Policy value on the date of death multiplied by the applicable percentage.
The applicable percentage is 250% for an insured currently age 40 or below. The
percentage declines with increasing ages. The death benefit remains level unless
the applicable percentage of Policy value exceeds the current face amount (in
which case the death benefit varies as the Policy value varies).
Illustration of Option 1
Assume that the insured's current age is under age 40, there is no loan amount
and the Policy face amount is $500,000.
Under Option 1, the death benefit must be equal or greater than 250% of the
Policy value. If the Policy value is more than $200,000, the death benefit is
greater than $500,000. Each additional dollar added to the Policy value above
$200,000 increases the death benefit by $2.50. If the Policy value exceeds
$200,000 and increases by $100 because of investment performance or premium
payments, the death benefit increases by $250.
Similarly, if the Policy value exceeds $200,000, each dollar taken out of the
Policy value reduces the death benefit by $2.50. For example, if the Policy
value is reduced from $500,000 to $450,000 because of partial surrenders,
charges or negative investment performance, the death benefit is reduced from
$1,250,000 to $1,125,000. However, if at any time the Policy value multiplied by
the applicable percentage is less than the face amount, the death benefit equals
the current face amount of the Policy.
Option 2
The death benefit is equal to the greater of 1) the current face amount plus the
Policy value on the date of death, or 2) the Policy value on the date of death
multiplied by the applicable percentage.
Illustration of Option 2
Assume that the insured's current age is under 40, there is no loan amount and
the Policy face amount is $500,000.
A Policy with a Policy value of $100,000 has a death benefit of $600,000
($500,000 plus $100,000). A Policy value of $300,000 has a death benefit of
$800,000 ($500,000 plus $300,000). The death benefit however must be at least
250% of the Policy value. As a result, if the Policy value exceeds $333,334, the
death benefit is greater than the face amount plus Policy value. Each additional
dollar of Policy value above $333,334 increases the death benefit by $2.50. If
the Policy value exceeds $333,334 and increases by $100 because of investment
performance or premium payments, the death benefit increases by $250.
If the Policy value exceeds $333,334, each dollar taken out of the Policy value
reduces the death benefit by $2.50. For example, the Policy value is reduced
from $400,000 to $340,000 because of partial surrenders, charges or negative
investment performance, the death benefit is reduced from $1,000,000 to
$850,000. However, if the Policy value multiplied by the applicable percentage
is less than the Policy face amount plus the Policy value, then the death
benefit is the current face amount plus the Policy value.
Option 3
The death benefit is equal to the greater of 1) the current face amount plus the
premiums paid minus the withdrawals up to the date of death, or 2) the Policy
value on the date of death multiplied by the applicable percentage.
Illustration of Option 3
Assume that the insured's current age is under 40, there is no loan amount and
the Policy face amount is $500,000.
A Policy with a Policy value of $100,000, premiums paid to date of $60,000 and
withdrawals to date of $20,000 has a death benefit of $540,000 ($500,000 plus
$60,000 minus $20,000). A Policy with a Policy value of $300,000, premiums paid
to date of $225,000 and withdrawals to date of $75,000 has a death benefit of
$650,000 ($500,000 plus $225,000 minus $75,000). The death benefit however must
be at least 250% of the Policy value. As a result, if the Policy value exceeds
$260,000, the death benefit is greater than the face amount plus premiums paid
to date minus withdrawals to date. Each additional dollar of Policy value above
$260,000 increases the death benefit by $2.50. If the Policy value exceeds
$260,000 and increases by $100 because of investment performance or premium
payments, the death benefit increases by $250.
If the Policy value exceeds $260,000, each dollar taken out of the Policy value
reduces the death benefit by $2.50. For example, the Policy value is reduced
from $300,000 to $240,000 because of charges or negative investment performance,
the death benefit is reduced from $750,000 to $600,000. However, if the Policy
value multiplied by the applicable percentage is less than the Policy face
amount plus the premiums paid to date minus the withdrawals to date, then the
death benefit is the current face amount plus the premiums paid to date minus
the withdrawals to date.
The applicable percentage lowers as the insured's age increases. If the current
age of the insured in the illustration is 50 (rather than age 40), the
applicable percentage would be 185%.

Change in Death Benefit Option
You may change the death benefit option on or after the first policy
anniversary. Up to two changes are allowed per policy year. Your request must be
made in writing and approved by us. The effective date of the change will be the
monthly date that coincides with or next follows our approval. Changing the
death benefit option changes the future cost of insurance.
If you change from Option 1 to Option 2, the new total face amount is the old
total face amount decreased by the policy value (as of the effective date of the
change). The change is not allowed if it would result in a policy face amount of
less than $100,000. A change from Option 1 to Option 2 may require evidence of
insurability for the new death benefit if required by our underwriting
guidelines in place at the time of your request.
If you change from Option 2 to Option 1, the new total face amount is the old
total face amount increased by the policy value (as of the effective date of the
change). A change from Option 2 to Option 1 does not require evidence of
insurability.
If you change from Option 3 to Option 1, the new total face amount is the old
total face amount increased by premiums paid less withdrawals made (as of the
effective date of the change). If you change from Option 3 to Option 2, the new
policy face amount is the old policy face amount adjusted by premiums paid (less
withdrawals made) decreased by the policy value (as of the effective date of the
change). A change from Option 3 to Option 2 may require evidence of insurability
for the new death benefit if required by our underwriting guidelines in place at
the time of your request.
You may not change from Option 1 to Option 3 or from Option 2 to Option 3.
Adjustment Options
Increase in policy face amount
You may request an increase at any time provided that the Policy is not in a
grace period, and monthly policy charges are not being waived under a rider. The
minimum increase in policy face amount is $50,000. A policy face amount increase
request made in the first 60 policy months will increase the no lapse guarantee
premium for the remainder of the 60 months.
The request must be made on an adjustment application. The application must be
signed by the owner(s) and the insured. If your request is not approved, no
changes are made to your Policy.
We will approve your request if:
o the insured is alive at the time of your request; and
o the attained age of the insured is 85 or less at the time of the request;
and
o we receive evidence satisfactory to us that the insured is insurable under
our underwriting guidelines in place at the time of your request.
The increase in policy face amount is in a risk classification determined by us.
The adjustment is effective on the monthly date on or next following our
approval of your request. No free-look period applies to an increase in policy
face amount.
We calculate an "adjustment conditional receipt premium deposit" (payment that
accompanies request) based on your request for an increase. If you make a
payment with your adjustment application of at least as much as the adjustment
conditional receipt premium deposit, we issue a conditional receipt. The
conditional receipt shows receipt of the payment and outlines any interim
insurance coverage.
Any payment made with the adjustment application is held in our General Account
without interest. If we approve the adjustment, on the effective date of the
adjustment, the amount of the premium payment being held minus the premium
expense charge, is moved to the divisions and/or Fixed Account. Your current
premium allocation percentages are used to make this allocation.
Decrease in policy face amount
After the first policy year, you may request a decrease in the policy face
amount. No transaction fee is imposed on decreases in the policy face amount. A
decrease is requested as follows:
o the request must be made on an adjustment application;
o the application must be signed by the owner(s);
o the policy is not in a grace period;
o monthly policy charges are not being waived under a waiver rider;
o the minimum amount of the decrease is $25,000; and
o the decrease may not reduce the policy face amount below $100,000.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
We make certain charges and deductions to support operation of the Policy and
the Separate Account. Some charges are deducted from premium payments when they
are received. Other charges are deducted on a monthly basis while others are
deducted at the time a Policy is surrendered or terminated.
Premium Expense Charge
When we receive your premium payment, we deduct a premium expense charge.
Deductions from premiums during each of the first five years and with respect to
premiums made because of a policy face amount increase, during the first five
years after the increase, equal:
o sales load of 3.0% of premiums paid
o plus 2.20% for state and local taxes
o plus 1.25% for federal taxes.
Deductions from premiums after the fifth policy year (and after five years of a
policy face amount increase) equal:
o 2.20% for state and local taxes
o plus 1.25% for federal taxes.
The sales load is intended to pay us for distribution expenses. These expenses
include commissions paid to registered representatives, printing of prospectuses
and sales literature, and advertising. Sales loads charged in any policy year
are not necessarily related to actual distribution expenses incurred in that
year. We expect that the majority of these expenses are incurred in the early
years of a Policy and that any deficit is made up during the life of the Policy.
If distribution expenses are more than the sales load (including the sales load
portion of the surrender charge), the deficit is made up from our other assets
or surplus in our General Account.
Monthly Policy Charge
The monthly policy charge is intended to cover certain charges and expenses
incurred in connection with the Policy. Deductions are made up of:
o a charge for the cost of insurance;
o a charge for any optional benefit added by rider(s);
o a monthly administration charge; and
o an asset based charge (applies to the divisions, the Fixed Account, and the
Loan Account).
On the policy date and each monthly date thereafter, we deduct the charge from
your policy value in the divisions and/or Fixed Account (but not your Loan
Account). The deduction is made using your current monthly policy charge
allocation percentages. Your allocation percentages may be:
o the same as allocation percentages for premium payments;
o determined on a prorated basis; or
o determined by any other allocation method which we agree upon.
For each division and/or the Fixed Account, the allocation percentage must be
zero or a whole number. The total of the allocation percentages must equal 100.
Allocation percentages may be changed without charge. A request for an
allocation change is effective on the date we receive the request. If we cannot
follow your instructions because of insufficient value in any Fixed Account
and/or the division, the monthly policy charge is deducted on a prorated basis.
Cost of Insurance Charge
Your monthly cost of insurance charge is (a) multiplied by (b minus c) where:
(a) is the cost of insurance rate described below divided by 1,000;
(b) is the death benefit at the beginning of the policy month, divided by
1.0024663 (the sum of one plus the monthly guaranteed fixed account
interest rate); and
(c) is the policy value at the beginning of the policy month calculated as if
the monthly policy charge was zero.
The cost of insurance rate is based on the gender*, issue age, duration since
issue, smoking status, and risk classification of the insured. We determine the
rate based on our expectation as to investment earnings, expenses, mortality and
persistency experience. Changes in the cost of insurance rates apply to all
individuals of the same age, gender* and risk classification. The rate for the
policy face amount will never exceed the rate shown in the Table of Guaranteed
Maximum Cost of Insurance Rates in the Policy. The guaranteed maximum cost of
insurance rate is based on the gender*, attained age and risk classification of
the insured.
Different cost of insurance rates may apply to policy face amount increases and
to supplemental benefit riders. The cost of insurance for the increase is based
on the insured's gender*, issue age, duration since issue, smoking status, and
risk classification at the time of the increase. The guaranteed maximum cost of
insurance rate for the increase is based on the insured's gender*, attained age
and risk classification at the time of the increase.
* The cost of insurance rate for Policies issued in states which require
unisex pricing or in connection with employment related insurance and
benefit plans is not based on the gender of the insured.
Administration Charge
Current charges
o The current monthly administrative charge is $25.00 per month during the
first policy year.
o After the first policy year, the administrative charge is $10.00 per month.
Guaranteed administration charges
In all policy years, the guaranteed maximum monthly administration charge is
$25.00 per month.
The monthly administration charge reimburses us for the administrative expenses
of the Policy and the Separate Account. Administration expenses do not include
the cost of selling the Policy. They do include the costs of: processing
applications; conducting medical examinations; determining insurability;
establishing and maintaining records; processing death benefit claims and policy
changes, reporting and overhead. We do not expect to collect more from the
administration charges than our actual accumulated expenses.
Asset Based Charge
The expense risk we assume is that expenses incurred in issuing and
administering the policy are greater than we estimated. The Company expects to
make a profit from this charge to the extent it is not needed to provide
benefits and pay expenses under the Policies.
Each month during the first ten policy years, we deduct a charge for these risks
at an annual rate of 0.70% of the value(s) of your division(s) and of the Fixed
Account. Each month thereafter, we deduct a charge at an annual rate of 0.20% of
the value(s) of your division(s) and of the Fixed Account.
We reserve the right to increase the annual rate but guarantee that the maximum
annual rate will not exceed 0.70%. If we increase the annual rate, the increase
will only apply to policies issued on or after the date of the increase.
Surrender Charge
Surrender charges vary based on the target premium of the policy and the
premiums paid. The charge applies only during the first ten policy years unless
there is a policy face amount increase. A policy face amount increase has its
own surrender charge period that begins on the adjustment date. The total
surrender charge on the policy is the sum of the surrender charges for the
policy face amount at issue and each policy face amount increase. The surrender
charge is not affected by any decrease in policy face amount or any change in
policy face amount resulting from a change of death benefit options.
The surrender charge compensates us for expenses relating to the sale of the
Policy. These include commissions, advertising and printing of prospectuses and
sales literature. The surrender charge also reimburses us for expenses incurred
in issuing the Policy. These expenses include processing the application
(primarily underwriting) and setting up records. This charge is intended to
cover the average anticipated issue expenses for all Policies. There may not be
a direct relationship between the amount of the charge for any given Policy and
the amount of expenses attributable to that Policy.
The surrender charge on an early surrender or Policy lapse is significant. As a
result, you should purchase a Policy only if you have the financial capacity to
keep it in force for a substantial period of time.
Surrender charge percentage
The surrender charge is (a) plus (b multiplied by c) where:
(a) is the deferred administrative charge of $3 per $1,000 of policy face
amount (but no more than $1,500 per Policy);
(b) is the deferred sales charge of 47.25% times premiums paid (up to a maximum
of two target premiums) (see CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS - Surrender Charge);
(c) is the applicable surrender charge percentage shown below:

Other Charges
The assets of each division are used to purchase shares in a corresponding
mutual fund at net asset value. The net asset value of the mutual fund reflects
management fees and operating expenses already deducted from the assets of the
mutual fund. Current management fees and operating expenses for each mutual fund
are shown in the section entitled THE FUNDS.
Special Provisions for Group or Sponsored Arrangements
Where permitted by state law, Policies may be purchased under group or sponsored
arrangements as well as on an individual basis. A group arrangement is a program
under which a trustee, employer or similar entity purchases Policies covering a
group of individuals on a group basis. A sponsored arrangement is a program
under which an employer permits group solicitation of its employees or an
association permits group solicitation of its members for the purchase of
Policies on an individual basis.
Charges and deductions may be reduced for Policies purchased under a group or
sponsored arrangement including waiver of premium sales load and waiver of
surrender charge. Reductions may be available to:
o employees, officers, directors, agents and immediate family members of the
group or sponsored arrangement, and
o employees of agents of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Reductions are made under our rules in effect on the date a Policy application
is approved and are based on certain criteria (size of group, expected number of
participants, anticipated premium payments).
Generally, the sales contacts and effort, administrative costs and mortality
cost per Policy vary based on the size of the arrangement, the purpose for which
the Policies are purchased and certain characteristics of the members. The
amount of the reduction and the criteria for reducing the charges and deductions
reflect: a) our reduced sales effort and administrative costs; and b) the
different mortality experience expected from sales to arrangements.
We may modify, on a uniform basis, both the amounts of reductions and the
criteria for qualification. Reductions in these charges will not discriminate
unfairly against any person, including the affected owners and all other Policy
owners with policies funded with the Separate Account.
In addition, groups and persons buying Policies under a sponsored arrangement
may apply for flexible underwriting. If flexible underwriting is granted, the
cost of insurance charge may increase because of higher anticipated mortality
experience. Flexible underwriting programs currently available include: batch
underwriting, expanded nonmedical underwriting and guaranteed issue
underwriting.
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
You may allocate net premiums and transfers from your division(s) to the Fixed
Account. The Fixed Account is part of our General Account. Because of exemptions
and exclusions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment
Company Act of 1940, the Fixed Account has not been registered under these acts.
Neither the Fixed Account nor any interest in it is subject to the provisions of
these acts. As a result the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this
prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. However, disclosures relating to the
Fixed Account are subject to generally applicable provisions of the federal
securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in
prospectuses. You may obtain more information regarding the Fixed Account from
our home office or from a sales representative.
Our obligations with respect to the Fixed Account are supported by our General
Account. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment
of assets in the General Account.
We guarantee that net premiums allocated to the Fixed Account accrue interest
daily at an effective annual rate of 3% compounded annually. We may, in our sole
discretion, credit interest at a higher rate.
The value of your Fixed Account on any valuation day is:
o net premiums allocated to the Fixed Account
o plus transfers from the division(s)
o plus interest credited to the Fixed Account
o minus surrenders, surrender charges and monthly policy charges
o minus transfers to the Loan Account
o minus transfers to the division(s).
We may defer payment of proceeds payable out of the Fixed Account for a period
of up to six months.
POLICY TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT
Policy Termination
No Lapse Guarantee
If the net surrender value on any monthly date is less than the monthly policy
charge, a 61-day grace period begins. However, during the first 60 policy
months, the Policy will stay in force if (a minus b) is greater than or equal to
(c) where:
(a) is the sum of the premiums paid;
(b) is the sum of all existing policy loans, unpaid loan interest, partial
surrenders and transactions charges; and
(c) is the sum of the no lapse guarantee premiums since the policy date to
the most recent monthly date.
After the first 60 policy months, making premium payments under your planned
periodic premium schedule does not guarantee that your Policy will stay in force
unless:
o your Policy's net surrender value is at least equal to the monthly policy
charge on the current monthly date; or
o the death benefit guarantee rider is in effect.
Grace Period
The grace period begins when we send you a notice of pending lapse. The notice:
o is mailed to your last known post office address;
o shows the minimum payment required to keep the Policy in force; and
o shows the 61-day period during which we will accept the required payment.
During the first 60 policy months, the minimum required payment is the greater
of (a) or (b) where:
(a) is three monthly policy charges divided by (1 minus the maximum
premium expense charge), and
(b) is three no lapse guarantee monthly premiums.
After the first 60 policy months, the minimum required premium is (a) plus (b)
where:
(a) is the amount by which the surrender charge is more than the Policy
value on the monthly date on or immediately preceding the start of the
grace period, and
(b) is three monthly policy charges divided by (1 minus the maximum
premium expense charge).
This payment is intended to a) reimburse us for the monthly policy charges
during the grace period, and b) provide enough policy value to pay the monthly
policy charge on the first monthly date after the grace period. To cover past
due policy charges, if the grace period ends before we receive the minimum
payment, we keep any remaining value in the Policy.
Due to possible adverse market fluctuations, there is no guarantee that the
amount requested at the beginning of the grace period is enough to pay the
monthly policy charges as they are processed. If the net surrender value is not
at least as much as the monthly policy charge on any monthly date, a new 61-day
grace period starts.
The Policy is in force during a grace period. If we do not receive the required
payment, the Policy terminates as of the monthly date on or immediately
preceding the start of the grace period. If the insured dies during a grace
period, policy proceeds are reduced by:
o all monthly policy charges due and unpaid at the death of the insured; and
o any policy loans and unpaid loan interest.
The Policy also terminates when:
o you make a total policy surrender;
o death proceeds are paid; and
o maturity proceeds are paid.
When the Policy terminates, all of the owners' policy rights and privileges end.
Reinstatement
Subject to certain conditions, you may reinstate a Policy that terminated
because of insufficient value. The Policy may only be reinstated:
o prior to the maturity date and while the insured is alive;
o upon our receipt of satisfactory evidence of insurability (according to our
underwriting guidelines then in effect);
o if you make a payment of a reinstatement premium; and
o if the application for reinstatement is mailed to us within three years of
the Policy termination (in some states, we must provide a longer period of
time for Policy reinstatement).
The reinstatement premium is calculated using the formulas found above in POLICY
TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT - Policy Termination - Grace Period. If a policy
loan or loan interest was unpaid when the Policy terminated, the policy loan
must be reinstated or repaid (loan interest is not collected for the period the
Policy was terminated).
We do not require payment of monthly policy charges during the period the Policy
was terminated. Reinstatement is effective on the next monthly date following
our approval of the reinstatement application. Premiums received with your
reinstatement application are held without interest until the reinstatement
date. They are allocated to your selected division(s) and/or Fixed Account on
the reinstatement date. We will use the premium allocation percentages in effect
at the time of termination of the Policy unless you provide new allocation
instructions. The reinstated Policy has the same policy date as the original
Policy. Your rights and privileges as owner(s) are restored upon reinstatement.
If you reinstate your Policy and then it is totally surrendered, a surrender
charge may be imposed. The charge, if any, is calculated based on the number of
years the Policy was in force. The period of time during which the Policy was
terminated is not credited toward the number of policy years to make this
calculation.
OTHER MATTERS
Voting Rights
We vote division shares at shareholder meetings of the underlying mutual funds.
We follow the voting instructions received from people having the voting
interest in the division shares.
You have a voting interest under a Policy. You have one vote for each $100 of
policy value in the division(s). Fractional votes are allocated for amounts less
than $100. The number of votes on which you have the right to instruct us is
determined as of a date established by the mutual fund for setting the
shareholders eligible to vote.
According to procedures adopted by the mutual fund, voting instructions are
solicited by a written proxy statement before a shareholder meeting. We vote
other underlying mutual fund shares, for which no voting instructions are
received, in the same proportion as the shares for which we receive voting
instructions. Underlying mutual fund shares held in our General Account are
voted in proportion to instructions that are received with respect to the
participating contracts.
If we determine, under applicable law, that underlying mutual fund shares need
not be voted according to the instructions received, we may vote underlying
mutual fund shares held in the Separate Account in our own right.
We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions. This may be done if the instructions would require shares
to be voted to: o change a subclassification or investment objective of the
underlying mutual fund; o disapprove an investment advisory contract of the
underlying mutual fund; or o approve changes initiated by an owner in the
investment policy or investment advisor of the underlying mutual fund if we
reasonably disapprove of the changes.
The change would be disapproved only if:
o the proposed change is contrary to state law;

GENERAL PROVISIONS
The Contract
The entire contract is made up of applications, amendments, riders and
endorsements attached to the Policy, current data pages, copies of any
supplemental applications, amendments, endorsements and revised Policy or data
pages which are mailed to you. No statement, unless made in an application, is
used to void a Policy (or void an adjustment in the case of an adjustment
application). Only our corporate officers can agree to change or waive any
provisions of a Policy. Any change or waiver must be in writing and signed by an
officer of the Company.
Optional Insurance Benefits
Subject to certain conditions, you may add one or more optional insurance
benefits to your Policy. These include:
o supplemental benefit rider (yearly renewable term)
o extended coverage rider
o death benefit guarantee rider (only available at the time the Policy is
issued and is not available in conjunction with the supplemental benefit
rider)
Detailed information concerning optional insurance benefits may be obtained from
an authorized agent or our home office. Not all optional insurance benefits are
available in all states. The cost, if any, of an optional insurance benefit is
deducted as part of your monthly policy charge.
Supplemental Benefit Rider
This rider provides an additional face amount and an additional death benefit.
Death Benefit Guarantee Rider
This rider provides that if the rider premium is paid, the Policy does not lapse
even if the net surrender value is not enough to pay the monthly policy charges
on a monthly date. This rider is automatically made a part of the Policy if the
planned periodic premium is equal to or greater than the death benefit guarantee
premium or if the first year paid premium is large enough to satisfy the death
benefit guarantee premium requirement for one year.
The death benefit guarantee premium requirement is met if:
o the sum of all premiums paid
o minus any partial surrenders
o minus any policy loans and unpaid loan interest
is at least as much as the sum of death benefit guarantee monthly premiums from
the policy date to the most recent monthly date. Your most recent death benefit
guarantee premium is shown on your current data page.
The death benefit guarantee premium is based on the issue age, gender (where
permitted by law) and risk classification of the insured. The monthly death
benefit guarantee premium is considered to be zero for any month that deductions
are being waived. This premium may change if:
o the policy face amount is changed;
o the death benefit option is changed;
o a rider is added or deleted; or
o an adjustment is made to your Policy.
As a result of a change, an additional premium may be required to satisfy the
new death benefit guarantee premium.
If on any monthly date, the death benefit guarantee premium requirement is not
met, we send you a notice stating the premium required to reinstate the rider.
If the premium required to maintain the guarantee is not received in our home
office before the expiration of the 61-day grace period (which begins when the
notice is mailed), the death benefit guarantee is no longer in effect and the
rider is terminated. If the rider terminates, it may not be reinstated.
Extended Coverage Rider
This rider allows the Policy to remain in force beyond the maturity date as long
as there is cash value in the Policy. Upon your request, we continue to keep the
Policy in force until the death of the Insured or full surrender. The death
benefit will be equal to the amount described in the "Death Benefit Option"
section. This rider can be selected only from the Policy anniversary when the
insured is age ______ to the maturity date. There is no charge for this rider,
however, it is available only if the insured's age at issue is ____ or less.
Misstatement of Age or Gender
If the age or, where applicable, gender of the insured has been misstated, we
adjust the death benefit payable under your Policy to reflect the amount that
would have been payable at the correct age and gender.
Assignment
You may assign your Policy. Each assignment is subject to any payments made or
action taken by the Company prior to our notification of the assignment. We
assume no responsibility for the validity of any assignment.
An assignment must be made in writing and filed with us at our home office. The
irrevocable beneficiary(ies), if any, must authorize any assignment in writing.
Your rights, as well as those of the beneficiary(ies), are subject to any
assignment on file with us.
Ownership
You may change your ownership designation at any time. Your request must be in
writing and approved by us. After approval, the change is effective as of the
date you signed the request for change. We reserve the right to require that you
send us the Policy so that we can record the change.
Unless changed, the owner(s) is as named in the application. The owner(s) may
exercise every right and privilege of the Policy, subject to the rights of any
irrevocable beneficiary(ies) and any assignee(s).
All rights and privileges of ownership of a Policy end if the Policy is
surrendered, death or maturity proceeds are paid, or if the grace period ends
without our receiving the payment required to keep the Policy in force. The
rights and privileges end as of the monthly date on or immediately preceding the
start of the grace period.
If an owner dies before the Policy terminates, the surviving owner(s), if any,
succeeds to that person's ownership interest, unless otherwise specified. If all
owners die before the Policy terminates, the Policy passes to the estate of the
last surviving owner. With our consent, you may specify a different arrangement
for contingent ownership.
Beneficiary
You have the right to name a beneficiary(ies) and contingent beneficiary(ies).
This may be done as part of the application process or by sending us a written
request. Unless you have named an irrevocable beneficiary, you may change your
beneficiary designation by sending us a written request. After approval, the
change is effective as of the date you signed the request for change. We reserve
the right to require that you send us the Policy so that we can record the
change.
If no beneficiary(ies) survives the death of the insured, the death proceeds are
paid to the owner(s) or the estate of the owner(s) in equal percentages unless
otherwise specified.
Benefit Instructions
While the insured is alive, you may give us instructions for payment of death
proceeds under one of the benefit options of the Policy. The instructions or
changes to the instructions must be in writing. If you change the
beneficiary(ies), prior benefit instructions are revoked.
Benefit Payment Options
While the insured is alive, you may arrange for death proceeds to be paid in a
lump sum or under one of several fixed benefit payment options. These choices
are also available if the Policy is surrendered or matures.
o Special Benefit Arrangement
A specially designed benefit option may be arranged with our approval.
o Proceeds left at interest
We hold the amount of the benefit on deposit. Interest payments are made
annually, semiannually, quarterly or monthly as selected.
o Fixed Income
We pay income of a fixed amount for a fixed period (not exceeding 30
years).
o Life Income
We pay income during a person's lifetime. A minimum guaranteed period may
be used.
o Joint and Survivor Life Income
We pay income during the lifetime of two people and continue until the
death of the survivor. This option includes a minimum guaranteed period of
10 years.
o Joint and Two-thirds Survivor Life Income
We pay an income during the lifetime of two people and two-thirds of the
original amount during the remaining lifetime of the survivor.
Interest at a rate set by us, but never less than required by state law, will be
applied to calculate the above benefit payment options.
Right to Exchange Policy
During the first 24 months after the effective date (except during a grace
period), you have the right to make an irrevocable, onetime election to transfer
all of your division values to the Fixed Account. No charge is imposed on this
transfer.
Your request must be in writing and be signed by the owner(s). The request must
be postmarked or delivered to our home office before the end of the 24-month
period. The transfer is effective when we receive your written request.
Non-Participating Policy
The Policies do not share in any divisible surplus of the Company.
Incontestability
We will not contest the insurance coverage provided by the Policy, except for
any increases in face amount, after the Policy has been in force during the
lifetime of the insured for a period of two years from the policy date. Any
policy face amount increase has its own two-year contestability period that
begins on the effective date of the adjustment. In many states, the time limit
in the incontestability period does not apply to fraudulent misrepresentations.
Suicide
Death proceeds are not paid if the insured dies by suicide, while sane or
insane, within two years of the policy date (or two years from the date of
policy face amount increase with respect to such increase). In the event of the
suicide of the insured within two years of the policy date, our only liability
is a refund of premiums paid, without interest, minus any policy loans and
unpaid loan interest and partial surrenders. In the event of suicide within two
years of a policy face amount increase, our only liability with respect to that
increase is a refund of the cost of insurance for the increase. This amount will
be paid to the beneficiary(ies).
Delay of Payments
Payment due to exercise of your rights under the free-look provision,
surrenders, policy loans, death or maturity proceeds, and transfers to or from a
division are generally made within five days after we receive your instructions
in a form acceptable to us. This period may be shorter where required by law.
However, payment of any amount upon return of the Policy, total or partial
surrender, policy loan, death, maturity or the transfer to or from a division
may be deferred during any period when the right to sell mutual fund shares is
suspended as permitted under provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The right to sell shares may be suspended during any period when:
o trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC or when the NYSE
is closed for other than weekends and holidays, or
o an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which:
o disposal by a fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably
practicable;
o it is not reasonably practicable for a fund to fairly determine the
value of its net assets; or
o the SEC permits suspension for the protection of security holders.
If payments are delayed and your instruction is not canceled by your written
instruction, the amount of the transaction is determined the first valuation
date following the expiration of the permitted delay. The transaction is made
within five days thereafter.
In addition, payments on surrenders attributable to a premium payment made by
check may be delayed up to 15 days. This permits payment to be collected on the
check.
Market Timing Disclosure
The Policy does not permit excessive trading or market timing. Market timing
activity can disrupt management strategy of the underlying mutual funds and
increase expenses, which are borne by all Policy owners. We reserve the right to
reject excessive exchanges or purchases by market timers if the trade would
disrupt the management of the Separate Account, any division or any underlying
mutual fund. In addition, we may suspend or modify transfer privileges at any
time to prevent market timing efforts that could disadvantage other Policy
owners. These modifications could include, but not be limited to:
o requiring a minimum time period between each transfer;
o not accepting transfer requests from someone providing them for multiple
Policies for which he or she is not the owner; or
o limiting the dollar amount that a Policy owner may transfer at any one
time.
Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Investments
We reserve the right to make certain changes if, in our judgement, they best
serve your interests or are appropriate in carrying out the purpose of the
Policy. Any changes are made only to the extent and in the manner permitted by
applicable laws. Also, when required by law, we will obtain your approval of the
changes and approval from any appropriate regulatory authority. Approvals may
not be required in all cases. Examples of the changes we may make include:
o transfer assets in any division to another division or to the Fixed
Account;
o add, combine or eliminate divisions; or
o substitute the shares of a division for shares in another division:
o if shares of a division are no longer available for investment; or
o if in our judgement, investment in a division becomes inappropriate
considering the purposes of the division.
If we eliminate or combine existing divisions or transfer assets from one
division to another, you may change allocation percentages and transfer any
value in an affected division to another division(s) and/or the Fixed Account
without charge. You may exercise this exchange privilege until the later of 60
days after a) the effective date of the change, or b) the date you receive
notice of the options available. You may only exercise this right if you have an
interest in the affected division(s).

DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICY
We intend to sell the Policies in all jurisdictions where we are licensed. The
Policies will be sold by licensed insurance agents who are also registered
representatives of broker-dealers registered with the SEC under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (NASD).
The Policies will be distributed by the general distributor, Princor Financial
Services Corporation (Princor), which is an affiliate of ours, pursuant to a
contract dated ______________________. The distribution contract may be
terminated by either party upon 60 day notice. Princor was incorporated in the
State of Iowa on May 1, 1968, and is also a securities broker-dealer registered
with the SEC as well as a member of the NASD. The Policies may also be sold
through other broker-dealers authorized by Princor and applicable law to do so.
Registered representatives of such broker-dealers may be paid on a different
basis than described below.
For Policies sold through Princor, commissions generally will be no more than
50% of premium received in the first policy year or the first year following an
adjustment up to the planned periodic premium (not to exceed target premium). In
addition, a commission of up to 3% of premium received in the first policy year
(or first year following an adjustment) may be paid. In the second through fifth
years following the policy date (or adjustment date), commissions range from 0%
to 2% of premiums received. A service fee of up to 10% is paid on premiums
received. An asset based fee of 0.25% is paid in policy years 6 through 20 which
is reduced to 0.15% after policy year 20. Expense allowances may be paid to
agents and brokers based on premiums received.
STATE REGULATION
The Company is subject to the laws of the State of Iowa governing insurance
companies and to regulation by the Insurance Department of the State of Iowa. An
annual statement in a prescribed form must be filed by March 1 in each year
covering our operations for the preceding year and our financial condition on
December 31 of the prior year. Our books and assets are subject to examination
by the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Iowa or her representatives at
all times. A full examination of our operations is conducted periodically by the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Iowa law and regulations also
prescribe permissible investments, but this does not involve supervision of the
investment management or policy of the Company.
In addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of other
states and jurisdictions where we are licensed to operate. Generally, the
insurance departments of these states and jurisdictions apply the laws of the
state of domicile in determining the field of permissible investments.
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
The following description is a general summary of the tax rules, primarily
related to federal income taxes, which in our opinion are currently in effect.
These rules are based on laws, regulations and interpretations that are subject
to change at any time. This summary is not comprehensive and is not intended as
tax advice. While we reserve the right to change the Policy to assure it
continues to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes, we cannot make any
guarantee regarding the future tax treatment of any Policy. You should consult a
qualified tax adviser about the tax implications of taking action under a
Policy.
Tax Status of the Company and the Separate Account
We are taxed as an insurance company under subchapter L of the Code. The
Separate Account is not a separate taxable entity. Its operations are taken into
account by us in determining our tax liability. All Separate Account investment
income and realized net capital gains are reinvested and taken into account in
determining policy values and are automatically applied to increase the book
reserves associated with the Policies.
Charges for Taxes
We impose a federal tax charge equal to 1.25% of premiums received under the
Policy to compensate us for the federal income tax liability we incur by reason
of receiving those premiums. We believe that this charge is reasonable in
relation to the increased tax burden the Company incurs as a result of Section
848 of the Code. No other charge is currently made to the Separate Account for
federal income taxes of the Company that may be attributable to the Separate
Account. Periodically, we review the appropriateness of charges to the Separate
Account for federal income taxes. In the future, a charge may be made for
federal income taxes incurred by us and attributable to the Separate Account. In
addition, depending on the method of calculating interest on policy values
allocated to the Fixed Account, a charge may be imposed for the Policy's share
of our federal income taxes attributable to the Fixed Account.
Under current law, we may incur state or local taxes (in addition to premium
taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant. If there
is a material change attributable to state or local taxes, we reserve the right
to charge the Separate Account for the portion of taxes, if any, attributable to
the Separate Account.
Diversification Standards
The Policy should qualify as a life insurance contract as long as the underlying
investments for the Policy satisfy diversification requirements of Section
817(h) of the Code.
IRS Definition of Life Insurance
The Policy should qualify as a life insurance contract as long as it satisfies
certain tests under Section 7702 of the Code.
o The Policy qualifies if it satisfies a cash value accumulation test or a
guideline premium requirement and falls within a cash value corridor.
o If at any time a premium is paid which would result in total premiums
exceeding the current maximum premium allowed, we only accept that portion
of the premium which would make the total premiums equal the maximum.
Modified Endowment Contract Status
Section 7702A of the Code sets forth a classification of life insurance policies
known as "Modified Endowment Contracts." Policy loans and partial surrenders
from a policy that is classified as a modified endowment contract are taxable as
ordinary income to the owner in an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of
the loan/partial surrender or the excess of policy value over the owner's
investment in the Policy. Additionally, taxable distributions are subject to a
federal income tax penalty of 10% unless the payment is:
o made after the owner attains age 59 1/2;
o attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled; or
o part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (made not less
frequently than annually) made for the life or life expectancy of the
taxpayer.
Modified endowment contract classification may be avoided by limiting the amount
of premiums paid under the Policy. If any premium payment increases the policy's
death benefit by more than it increases the policy value, and in the absence of
your instructions, we will refund the premium payment.
Policy Surrenders and Partial Surrenders
A surrender or lapse of the Policy may have income tax consequences. Upon
surrender, the owner(s) is not taxed on the cash surrender value except for the
amount, if any, that exceeds the gross premiums paid less the untaxed portion of
any prior surrenders. The amount of any policy loan, upon surrender or lapse, is
added to the cash surrender value and treated, for this purpose, as if it had
been received. A loss incurred upon surrender is generally not deductible. The
tax consequences of a surrender may differ if the proceeds are received under
any income payment settlement option.
A total surrender of the Policy will, and a partial surrender may, be included
in your gross income to the extent that the distribution exceeds your investment
in the Policy. Partial surrenders generally are not taxable unless the total of
such surrenders exceeds total premiums paid to the date of partial surrender
less the untaxed portion of any prior partial surrenders. During the first 15
policy years, an amount may be taxable prior to your tax-free recovery of your
investment in the Policy if the partial surrender results in or is necessitated
by a reduction in death benefits. A qualified tax advisor should be consulted
regarding the tax consequences of any partial surrender during the first 15
policy years.
The increase in policy value of the Policy is not included in gross income
unless and until there is a total surrender or partial surrender under the
Policy. A complete surrender of the Policy will, and a partial surrender may, be
included in your gross income to the extent the distribution exceeds your
investment in the Policy. Transfers between the division(s) and/or the Fixed
Account are not considered as distributions from the Policy and would not be
considered taxable income.
Policy Loans and Loan Interest
Loans received under the Policy are generally recognized as loans for tax
purposes and are not considered to be distributions subject to tax. Interest
paid to us as a result of a policy loan may or may not be deductible depending
on a number of factors. Due to the complexity of these factors, you should
consult a competent tax advisor as to the deductibility of interest paid on
policy loans. If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, a policy loan is
taxable to an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of the loan or the excess
of policy value over the owner's investment in the Policy.
Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax
Ownership of a Policy by certain corporations may affect the owner's exposure to
the corporate alternative minimum tax. In determining whether it is subject to
alternative minimum tax, the corporate owner must make two computations. First,
the corporation must take into account a portion of the current year's increase
in the built-in gain in its corporate owned policies. Second, the corporation
must take into account a portion of the amount by which the death benefits
received under any Policy exceed the sum of a) the premiums paid on that Policy
in the year of death, and b) the corporation's basis in the Policy (as measured
for alternative minimum tax purposes) as of the end of the corporation's tax
year immediately preceding the year of death. The corporate alternative minimum
tax does not apply to S Corporations. Such tax also does not apply to "Small
Corporations" as defined by Section 55(c) of the Code. Corporations with gross
receipts of $5,000,000 or less for their first taxable year after 1996, with
gross receipts not exceeding $7,500,000 after the first taxable year, will meet
this definition.
Exchange or Assignment of Policies
A change of policy, or an exchange or assignment of a Policy may have tax
consequences. An assignment or exchange may result in taxable income to the
transferring owner. For complete information with respect to policy assignments
and exchanges, a qualified tax advisor should be consulted.
Withholding
Withholding is generally required on certain taxable distributions under
insurance contracts. In the case of periodic payments, the withholding is at
graduated rates. With respect to non-periodic distributions, withholding is a
flat rate of 10%. You may elect to have either non-periodic or periodic payments
made without withholding except if your tax identification number has not been
furnished to us or if the IRS has notified us that the number you furnished is
incorrect.
Other Tax Issues
Federal estate taxes and state and local estate, inheritance and other taxes may
become due depending on applicable law and your circumstances or the
circumstances of the policy beneficiary(ies) if you or the insured dies. Any
person concerned about the estate implications of the Policy should consult a

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

qualified deferred compensation plan cannot vary on the basis of gender. Polices

underwriting classification. A competent tax advisor should be consulted on
these matters.

The death benefit, accumulated value and surrender value will differ if premiums
are paid in different amounts or frequencies. It is emphasized that the
hypothetical investment results are illustrative only and should not be deemed
to be a representation of past or future investment results. Actual investment
results may be more or less than those shown. The death benefit, accumulated
value and surrender value for a policy would be different from those shown if
actual rates of investment return applicable to the policy averaged 0%, 6% or
12% over a period of years, but also fluctuated above or below that average for
individual policy years. The death benefit, accumulated value and surrender
value for a policy would also be different from those shown, depending on the
investment allocations made to the investment divisions of the separate account
and the different rates or return of the Fund portfolios, if the actual rates of
investment return applicable to the policy averaged 0%, 6% or 12%, but varied
above or below that average for individual divisions. No representations can be
made that these hypothetical rates of return can be achieved for any one year or
sustained over any period of time.

results may be more or less than those shown. The death benefit, accumulated
value and surrender value for a policy would be different from those shown if
actual rates of investment return applicable to the policy averaged 0%, 6% or

individual policy years. The death benefit, accumulated value and surrender
value for a policy would also be different from those shown, depending on the
investment allocations made to the investment divisions of the separate account
and the different rates or return of the Fund portfolios, if the actual rates of
investment return applicable to the policy averaged 0%, 6% or 12%, but varied
above or below that average for individual divisions. No representations can be
made that these hypothetical rates of return can be achieved for any one year or
sustained over any period of time.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter adopted under the authority conferred in that
section.
UNDERTAKING PURSUANT TO RULE 484
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant, the Registrant 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
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant 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, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter had been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question 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.
REPRESENTATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 26 OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company represents the fees and charges deducted
under the Policy, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services
rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the
Company.
REPRESENTATIONS PURSUANT TO RULE 6e-3(T) This filing is made
pursuant to Rules 6c-3 and 6e-3(T) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Registrant elects to be governed by Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(i)(A) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, with respect to the Policies described in the
prospectus. Registrant makes the following representations:
(1) Section 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(iii)(F) has been relied upon.
(2) The level of the mortality and expense risks charge is within
the range of industry practice for comparable contracts.
(3) The Registrant has concluded that there is a reasonable
likelihood that the distribution financing arrangement for the
Variable Life Separate Account will benefit the separate account
and policyowners, and it will keep and make available to the
Commission on request a memorandum setting forth the basis for
this representation.
(4) The Variable Life Separate Account will invest only in
management investment companies which have undertaken to have a
board of directors, a majority of whom are not interested
persons of the Company, formulate and approve any plan under
Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution expenses.
The methodology used to support the representation made in paragraph (2) above
is based upon an analysis of the mortality and expense risks charges contained
in other variable life insurance policies, including scheduled and flexible
premium products. Registrant undertakes to keep and make available to the
Commission on request the documents used to support the representation in
paragraph (2) above.
