proportions  you  indicate in your most recent  allocation  instructions  to us.

               TABLE OF GUARANTEED MONTHLY COST OF INSURANCE RATES
                          PER $1,000 NET AMOUNT AT RISK

This table shows the guaranteed  monthly cost of insurance  rates  applicable to
this Policy.  Rates actually used cannot exceed these rates. These rates are per
$1,000 Net Amount at Risk. They are based on the Age of the Insured,  and on the
sex and risk  class  shown in the  Schedule.  These  rates are based on the 1980
Commissioners   Standard   Ordinary   Mortality   Table,   Age  Last   Birthday,
differentiated  as to [sex and tobacco use], with a percentage  multiple applied
for  substandard  classes.  The rates  shown  below are for the Policy  Date and
subsequent Policy Anniversaries. The rates are level within each Policy Year. No
cost of insurance charge is assessed on or after the Premium Cut Off Age.

We may change the cost of  insurance  rates  actually  used,  but they can never
exceed the rates shown in this table.  Any change in the cost of insurance rates
will apply uniformly to all members of the same class.

                                   DEFINITIONS

The following are key terms used in this Policy. Other terms are defined as they
occur.

Account Value:  The value of each  allocation to any  Sub-account  and any Fixed
Allocation,  plus any  earnings and less any losses,  distributions  and charges
thereon,  plus the value of amounts  transferred  to the Loan Account,  plus any
earnings less any  distributions  and charges thereon,  all before assessment of
any contingent  deferred  sales charge or any Debt.  Account Value is determined
separately for each  Sub-account and each Fixed  Allocation,  as well as for any
amounts in the Loan Account, and then totaled to determine Account Value for the
Policy.

Age:  Initially,  and for the first Policy Year, the Insured's age last birthday
on the Policy Date. In each  following  Policy Year, it is the age last birthday
of the Insured as of the preceding Policy Anniversary.

Anniversary Value: The Account Value on any previous Policy Anniversary less any
partial withdrawals since that Anniversary.

Application:  The form or combination of forms we require you to submit when you
are applying for issue or reinstatement of this Policy, or for any change in the
Specified Amount, or any form or combination of forms we may require when adding
an additional benefit.

Beneficiary:  The  person or entity  you  designate  on whose  behalf  any Death
Proceeds are payable.  Unless  otherwise  specified,  Beneficiary  refers to all
persons or entities so designated.

Cash Value: The Account Value less any contingent deferred sales charge and less
any unpaid charges and Debt.

Cash Value  Credit:  An amount we credit to your  Account  Value on each  Policy
Anniversary  on or after the  requirements  described  in the Cash Value  Credit
section of this Policy have first been satisfied.

Code:  The Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and the
regulations thereunder.

Death  Benefit:  The amount payable as a result of the Insured's  death,  before
reduction  for any Debt and for any unpaid  charges,  and before the addition of
any interest due pursuant to law.

Death  Proceeds:  The amount payable as a result of the Insured's  death,  after
reduction for any Debt and for any unpaid charges, and after the addition of any
interest due pursuant to law.

Debt:  The total of all Policy loans and accrued loan interest.

Fixed Allocation:  An allocation of Account Value that is to be credited a fixed
rate of interest until the subsequent Policy Anniversary.

Guaranteed  Minimum Death  Benefit:  The minimum amount we guarantee is due as a
result of the  Insured's  death,  prior to reduction for any Debt and any unpaid
charges.

In Writing: In a written form, in a manner we accept, that is satisfactory to us
and filed at our Office. We retain the right to specifically agree in advance to
accept  communication  regarding a specific matter by telephone or by some other
form of electronic transmission, in a manner we prescribe.

Initial  Premium:  Premium paid on or before the Issue Date. The Initial Premium
is shown in the Schedule.

Insurance  Factor:  The  amount  by which the  Account  Value is  multiplied  to
determine the Minimum Required Death Benefit.

Insured: The person named in the Schedule upon whose life coverage is issued and
upon whose death the Death Proceeds are payable.

Issue  Date:  The date we issue  this  Policy.  The  Issue  Date is shown in the
Schedule.

Life Insurance: This is a policy outlining a life insurance company's promise to
pay benefits upon the death of an Insured,  where such a policy achieves certain
federal  income  tax  treatment  by  complying  with one of two tests  which are
provided in the  definition of Life Insurance in the Code. The test you selected
to be applicable to this Policy is shown in the Schedule, and may not be changed
on or after the Issue Date.

Loan Account: That portion of the Account Value that is used as collateral for a
loan from us.

Minimum  Required  Death  Benefit:  The  minimum  amount  due as a result of the
Insured's death pursuant to the applicable  Definition of Life Insurance Test we
apply as shown in the  Schedule  and in  accordance  with the Code,  before  any
reduction for Debt.

Monthly  Processing  Date:  The Valuation Day each month we deduct charges taken
from the Account Value.  The first Monthly  Processing  Date is the Policy Date.
Subsequent Monthly Processing Dates generally occur on the same day of the month
as the Policy Date.  In any month that date is not a Valuation  Day, the Monthly
Processing Date that month will be the next following Valuation Day.

Net Amount at Risk: The Net Amount at Risk is the Death Benefit less the Account
Value.  However,  when we calculate  the cost of  insurance  charge on a Monthly
Processing  Date based on the Net Amount at Risk,  we,  for this  purpose  only,
project the Death  Benefit  forward one month  assuming no change in the Account
Value and then discount that amount for one month. We use the Net Amount at Risk
Discount Rate shown in the Schedule for this purpose.

Office:  Our  administrative  office, as shown in the Schedule,  is the location
where all requests regarding this Policy are to be sent.

Owner:  The  person(s) or  entity(ies)  who may exercise  the  ownership  rights
provided  by this  Policy.  The  Owner  is shown in the  Schedule  unless  later
changed.

Policy: The insurance contract we issue as evidence of our commitment to pay the
Death Proceeds upon the death of the Insured.

Policy Anniversary:  The yearly anniversary of the Policy Date.

Policy Date:  The date as of which coverage under this Policy begins.

Policy Years: The continuous  12-month periods that begin on the Policy Date and
on each Policy Anniversary thereafter.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The  Basic  Death  Benefit  can never be less than the  Specified  Amount.  Your
selection of Death Benefit option is shown in the Schedule.

Minimum Required Death Benefit: The Minimum Required Death Benefit is determined
by  multiplying  the  Account  Value as of the date the  Death  Proceeds  become
payable by the applicable Insurance Factor shown in the Schedule.




2AFPVLI(01/00)-12                           12

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit: All references below to Premium do not include
any Premium for additional  benefits.  The  Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit is
determined as follows:

     (a) On the Policy Date:  The  Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit  equals the
         Initial Premium.

     (b) After the  Policy  Date and before the first  Policy  Anniversary:  The
         Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit  equals total  Premiums paid less any
         partial withdrawals.

     (c) After the first Policy  Anniversary but before the Target Date shown in
         the Schedule:  The  Guaranteed  Minimum Death Benefit is the greater of
         (1) and (2), where:

         (1) is total Premiums paid less any partial withdrawals; and (2) is the
         highest Anniversary Value.

     (d) On or after the  Target  Date  shown in the  Schedule:  The  Guaranteed
         Minimum Death Benefit is the greater of (1) and (2), where:

         (1)  is total Premiums paid less any partial withdrawals; and
         (2)  is the highest  Anniversary  Value as of the Target Date, less any
              partial withdrawals since the Target Date.


Changes  after  Issue:  After the first  Policy  Year,  and while the Insured is
alive,  you may  request In Writing a change,  subject to our  approval,  in the
Death Benefit option and/or Specified  Amount.  The effective date of any change
in the Death Benefit option and/or  Specified  Amount is the Monthly  Processing
Date  coinciding  with or next  following  the date we approve  your  request In
Writing.  Any change in the Death  Benefit  option  and/or  Specified  Amount is
subject to the following conditions:

(a)      An increase in Specified  Amount is subject to evidence of insurability
         satisfactory  to us and is not allowed if the Insured does not meet our
         then  current  underwriting  rules  or such a change  is not  permitted
         pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

(b)      If the Death Benefit  option is changed,  the Specified  Amount will be
         recalculated, if necessary, so that the Death Benefit immediately after
         the change equals the Death Benefit immediately before the change.

(c)      We will  require  evidence  of  insurability  for any change into Death
         Benefit  option 3 or Death Benefit  option 4.  Subsequent to any change
         into  Death  Benefit  option 3 or Death  Benefit  option  4, the  Death
         Benefit  calculations  are based on Premiums paid  subsequent to such a
         change.

(d)      No more than one change in Death Benefit  option is allowed each Policy
         Year.

(e)      A request to reduce the Specified  Amount during the first seven Policy
         Years or within five years of an increase to the Specified  Amount will
         be subject to our prior approval.

(f)      The  minimum  amount by which you may  change the  Specified  Amount is
         shown in the Schedule.

(g)      A change  in  Specified  Amount  or Death  Benefit  option  will not be
         allowed  if it will  reduce  the  Specified  Amount  below the  minimum
         Specified Amount shown in the Schedule.

(h)      On any change in Specified Amount, including one resulting from a Death
         Benefit option  change,  Tier 1 Premiums will be increased or decreased
         by the same percentage as the Specified  Amount.  This change in Tier 1
         Premiums may affect the calculation of any future  contingent  deferred
         sales charge.

Death  Proceeds:  The Death Proceeds become payable to the Beneficiary as of our
receipt,  at our  Office,  of all of the  following:  (1)  due  proof  of  death
satisfactory to us that the Insured died while this Policy was in force; (2) all
representations we require or which are mandated by applicable law or regulation
in relation to the death  claim and the payment of Death  Proceeds;  and (3) any
applicable  election of the mode of payment,  if not previously  elected by you.
The Death Proceeds payable are equal to: (a) the Death Benefit as of the date we
receive  all items  listed  above;  plus (b) any Death  Benefit  provided by any
additional benefit riders under this Policy; minus (c) any Debt; minus

     .




13

2AFPVLI(01/00)-13

(d)      any due and unpaid  monthly  deductions,  including  those charges that
         would be required to keep this Policy from lapsing, if the Insured dies
         during any grace period; plus,

(e)      any interest required by law

The Death Proceeds may be paid in a lump sum or applied under one of the payment
options  described  in this  Policy.  They may also be  applied  under any other
payment option  selected by the  Beneficiary and agreed to by us, if not elected
by you before we receive due proof of the Insured's death.

Due Proof of Death:  Due proof of death consists of any of the following:  (1) a
certified  copy of a death  certificate;  (2) a certified  copy of a decree of a
court of competent  jurisdiction  as to the finding of death;  and (3) any other
proof satisfactory to us.

                           INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT VALUE

General:  We offer a range of variable  investment options and Fixed Allocations
as ways to invest your Account Value. You may maintain Account Value in multiple
investment  options,  subject to the limits  set forth in the  Allocation  Rules
section of this  Policy.  You may  transfer  Account  Value  between  investment
options,  subject to the requirements set forth in the Transfers section of this
Policy. Transfers may be subject to a fee, as shown in the Schedule.

Variable  Investment  Options:  We offer a number of  Sub-accounts  as  variable
investment options.  These are all Sub-accounts of the Separate Account shown in
the Schedule.

The investment  policy of the Separate  Account will not be changed  without the
approval of the Insurance  Commissioner  of the State of  Connecticut.  Any such
approval will be on file with the Commissioner.

Fixed Allocation: We credit interest to Fixed Allocations.  From time to time we
declare interest rates applicable to new Fixed Allocations.  If you make a Fixed
Allocation, we credit the rate then in effect to that Fixed Allocation until the
next Policy Anniversary. Once that Policy Anniversary is reached, we credit, for
the next Policy Year, the then current rate applicable to new Fixed Allocations.
This  applies  to all  your  Fixed  Allocations  then  in  effect.  During  each
subsequent  Policy  Year,  the rate we credit for each Policy Year is the one in
effect  for new Fixed  Allocations  at the  beginning  of the Policy  Year.  The
interest rates we credit are determined by us and are subject to a minimum.  The
minimum is shown in the Schedule.

You may allocate part or all of any Premium, less applicable charges, to a Fixed
Allocation.  You may transfer all or part of the Account Value  attributable  to
the variable  investment  options into a Fixed  Allocation.  Transfers  from the
Fixed  Allocations  are subject to the  limitations  discussed in the  Transfers
section of this Policy.

                       OPERATIONS OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

General:  The assets supporting our obligations under this Policy may be held in
various accounts, depending on the obligation being supported. Assets supporting
obligations  based on the Account  Value  allocated to the  variable  investment
options are  maintained  in the Separate  Account  shown in the  Schedule.  This
Separate  Account consists of multiple  Sub-accounts.  This Separate Account was
established by us pursuant to Connecticut  law. This Separate Account also holds
assets  of other  policies  issued  by us with  values  and  benefits  that vary
according to the investment  performance of this Separate Account. The assets of
the Separate Account will be valued at least monthly.

We are the legal  owner of assets in the  Separate  Account.  Income,  gains and
losses, whether or not realized,  from assets allocated to the Separate Account,
are credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account in accordance with the
terms of the  policies  supported  by such  assets  without  regard to our other
income,  gains or losses or to the  income,  gains or losses in any other of our
separate accounts.  We will maintain assets in the Separate Account with a total
market  value at least  equal  to the  reserve  and  other  liabilities  we must
maintain in relation to the Policy obligations  supported by such assets.  These
assets may only be charged with liabilities which arise from such policies.





14

2AFPVLI(01/00)-14

Values and benefits based on allocations to the Sub-accounts  will vary with the
investment performance of the Portfolios, as applicable. We reserve the right to
transfer  assets of the Separate  Account,  which we determine to be  associated
with the class of  policies to which this Policy  belongs,  to another  Separate
Account.  If this type of transfer is made, the term "Separate  Account" as used
in this  Policy  will  mean the  Separate  Account  to  which  the  assets  were
transferred.

The assets of the Separate Account will be available to cover the liabilities of
our general  account only to the extent that the assets of the Separate  Account
exceed the  liabilities  of the  Separate  Account  arising  under the  policies
supported by the Separate Account.

The Separate  Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
(the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust,
which is a type of investment company.  This does not involve any supervision by
the SEC of the  investment  policies,  management  or  practices of the Separate
Account or of us.

                                 GENERAL ACCOUNT

We maintain  assets in our general account to support our  obligations:  (1) for
that portion of the Account Value allocated to any Fixed  Allocation;  (2) equal
to the Account Value in the Loan Account; (3) for any settlement option; and (4)
for any  other  obligation  we may  have in  relation  to a  Policy  and/or  any
additional benefit for which assets are not maintained in the Separate Account.

                                     CHARGES

General:  There are certain charges  assessable  against your Policy.  There are
also certain charges that are assessed against the
Sub-accounts of the Separate Account, as noted below.

The charges  which are or may be assessed  against your Policy are: (1) the cost
of  insurance  charge;  (2)  the  sales  charge;  (3) the  tax  charge;  (4) the
contingent  deferred sales charge; (5) any fee for any partial  withdrawal;  (6)
any transfer fee; and (7) any charge for optional benefits.

The charges  assessed  against the Sub-accounts of the Separate Account are: (1)
the  administration  charge;  and (2) the mortality  and expense risk charge.  A
charge for taxes also may be assessed against the Sub-accounts.

Cost of Insurance  Charge:  The cost of insurance  charge is deducted as of each
Monthly  Processing  Date. It is deducted on a pro-rata basis from your variable
investment  options and any Fixed  Allocations.  It is  determined by applying a
monthly  cost of  insurance  rate to the Net  Amount  at Risk as of the  Monthly
Processing Date and adding a cost of insurance fee. The guaranteed  monthly cost
of insurance rate depends on the Age, sex and risk class of the Insured as shown
in the Schedule and on the underwriting  method.  Subject to any requirement for
prior approval of the applicable  jurisdiction,  we have the right to change the
current cost of insurance rates.  However,  the monthly cost of insurance charge
will not exceed the  guaranteed  monthly  cost of insurance  rate,  shown in the
Schedule, multiplied by the Net Amount at Risk.

Any change in the cost of insurance rates or cost of insurance fee will be based
on changes in our future  expectations as to mortality,  expenses,  persistency,
investment earnings and any other related revenues. Changes in cost of insurance
rates  or fee will  not be made  because  of a  deterioration  in the  Insured's
health,  nor will they be made to recoup any prior  losses.  The changes will be
determined only  prospectively and will comply with the procedures and standards
on file with the insurance  department for the jurisdiction where this Policy is
delivered. Any change will apply uniformly to all members of the same class.

Sales Charge:  The sales charge is deducted on each Monthly  Processing Date. It
is deducted on a pro-rata  basis from your variable  investment  options and any
Fixed  Allocations.  It is a  percentage  of your  Account  Value on the Monthly
Processing  Date. The equivalent  annual  percentage and the period during which
the sales charge applies are shown in the Schedule.





15

2AFPVLI(01/00)-15

Tax Charge:  The tax charge is deducted from each Premium paid.  The  percentage
rate  applicable as of the Policy Date is shown in the Schedule.  We also assess
the charge as a percentage of the amount of any loans  established as the result
of an exchange.  The charge is deducted from that Premium amount received as the
proceeds of such exchange.  The applicable  percentage rate after the Issue Date
may change if the taxes due in relation to your Premium change by law.

Contingent  Deferred Sales Charge:  The contingent  deferred sales charge may be
deducted from amounts receivable upon surrender or partial  withdrawal.  It is a
percentage of Tier 1 Premiums previously paid. The applicable  percentage varies
by Policy Year, as shown in the Schedule. No contingent deferred sales charge is
applied to any Tier 2 Premiums.

Partial Withdrawal Fee: We charge a fee to process a partial withdrawal. The fee
is deducted from the fixed and variable  allocations in the same  proportions as
the partial withdrawal, and is shown in the Schedule.

Transfer  Fee: The transfer fee may be deducted at the time of a transfer.  This
includes  transfers  into a  Fixed  Allocation  and any  transfers  from a Fixed
Allocation.  For this purpose, all transfers occurring during the same Valuation
Period are  considered  one  transfer.  We deduct the  charge  from the  amounts
transferred  pro-rata in the same ratio as Account  Value is being  transferred.
The maximum amount of this charge and the  circumstances  under which it applies
are  shown  in  the  Schedule.  The  following  transfers  are  not  taken  into
consideration  in determining  whether any transfer fee applies:  (a) a transfer
from a Fixed  Allocation on a Policy  Anniversary;  (b) transfers to or from the
Loan Account in relation to loans and loan repayments.

Administration  Charge: We charge for administering each Sub-account.  We assess
this  charge  each day at the daily  equivalent  of the annual rate shown in the
Schedule  against  the assets in each  Sub-account.  We deduct  the charge  each
Valuation Period.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges:  We charge for bearing certain mortality and
expense risks related to the  investment  performance  of the  Sub-accounts.  We
assess this charge each day at the daily equivalent of the applicable rate shown
in the  Schedule  for  the  appropriate  duration  against  the  assets  in each
Sub-account. We deduct the charge each Valuation Period.

                                 PREMIUM PAYMENT

Premium:  The amount of Initial  Premium  is shown in the  Schedule.  Additional
Premiums  may be paid  while  this  Policy is in force and  before  the  Premium
Cut-off Age, subject to the limitations described below.  Allocation of Premium,
after reduction for any applicable  charges,  is subject to our allocation rules
(see "Allocation Rules").

Additional  Premiums:  Any Premium payment that would increase the Net Amount at
Risk under this Policy is subject to evidence of  insurability  satisfactory  to
us, unless all of the following conditions are met:

(a) The Policy is within the Tier 1 Premium  Guaranteed  Acceptance Period shown
in the  Schedule;  (b) No Tier 2 Premium has been paid;  and,  (c) No portion of
such Premium payment would be classified as Tier 2 Premium.

We reserve  the right to reject  any  portion  of a Premium  payment  that would
change the tax  status of this  Policy  under the Code,  without  your  specific
acknowledgement and authorization in Writing.

Tier 1 and Tier 2 Premiums:  Tier 1 Premiums are used to calculate the amount of
contingent  deferred sales charge that applies on surrender of this Policy. Tier
1 Premiums  are subject to a cumulative  limit that varies by Policy  Year.  The
limit is equal to (a) multiplied by (b), where:

(a)




16

2AFPVLI(01/00)-16

(a)      Is the Maximum Annual Tier 1 Premium shown in the Schedule, and;
(b)      Is the Policy Year of the payment

The Tier 1 portion of any Premium  payment is that portion,  if any,  which will
not cause total Tier 1 Premiums to exceed this limit.  The Tier 2 portion of any
Premium payment is any balance of the payment.

                                ALLOCATION RULES

You may  allocate  your  Account  Value  among the  investment  options  we make
available.  We may limit the number of investment options to which Account Value
may be  allocated  at one time.  This limit will not be less than 10  investment
options.

Until the Reallocation Date shown in the Schedule,  that portion of any Premium,
less  any  applicable  charges,  you  designated  to be  allocated  to  variable
investment  options  will  be  allocated  to the  Automatic  Sub-account,  after
deduction of any applicable tax charge. As of the Reallocation Date, the Account
Value of the  Automatic  Sub-account  will be  allocated  per your  most  recent
instruction  to us.  If  the  Reallocation  Date  is not a  Valuation  Day,  the
reallocation will occur on the Valuation Day immediately following.  Any portion
of the Premium you  designated to be allocated to the Fixed  Allocation  will be
allocated  directly to the Fixed  Allocation,  after deduction of any applicable
charges, and will not be allocated to the Automatic Sub-account.

Withdrawals of any type are taken pro-rata from the investment  options based on
the then current  Account  Values in such  investment  options unless we receive
other  instructions  from you prior to such  withdrawal.  If there are  multiple
Fixed Allocations as of the date of such partial  withdrawal,  amounts are taken
from the Fixed Allocations on a last in, first out basis.

Deductions  for  charges  and fees are as noted  above in the  section  entitled
"Charges." If there are multiple Fixed Allocations as of the applicable  Monthly
Processing Date,  amounts deducted from the investment options are deducted from
the Fixed Allocations on a last in, first out basis.

Should you request a transaction  that would leave less than any minimum  amount
we then require in an  investment  option,  we reserve the right,  to the extent
permitted  by law, to add the balance of your  Account  Value in the  applicable
Sub-account or Fixed Allocation to the transaction and close out your balance in
that investment option.

                          ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE

General:  Your Account Value is the sum of values in: (1) any  Sub-account;  (2)
each Fixed Allocation,  if any; and (3) the Loan Account, if any. The Cash Value
is the Account Value less any Debt and less any applicable  contingent  deferred
sales charge.

Account Value in the  Sub-accounts:  We determine your Account Value  separately
for each  Sub-account.  To determine the Account Value in each  Sub-account,  we
multiply the Unit Price as of the Valuation  Period for which the calculation is
being made by the number of Units  attributable  to your  Account  Value in that
Sub-account as of that Valuation Period.

Units:  The number of Units  attributable to this Policy in a Sub-account is the
number of Units purchased for you as a result of allocations to that Sub-account
less the number of Units  transferred  or withdrawn.  We determine the number of
Units  involved in any  transaction  specified in dollars by dividing the dollar
value of the transaction by the Unit Price of the affected Sub-account as of the
Valuation Period applicable to such transaction

Unit Price:  For each  Sub-account  the initial Unit Price was $10.00.  The Unit
Price for each subsequent  period is the net investment  factor for that period,
multiplied by the Unit Price for the immediately preceding Valuation Period. The
Unit Price for a Valuation Period applies to each day in the period.

Net Investment  Factor:  Each Sub-account has a net investment  factor.  The net
investment  factor is an index that measures the  investment  performance of and
charges assessed against a Sub-account from one Valuation Period to the next.

The net  investment  factor for a Valuation  Period is (a) divided by (b),  less
(c); where:

     (a) is the net result of :
1)            the net asset value per share of the  Portfolio  shares at the end
              of the current  Valuation  Period plus the per share amount of any
              dividend  or  capital  gain   distribution   declared  and  unpaid
              (accrued) by the Portfolio; plus or minus

2)            any per share charge or credit  during the  Valuation  Period as a
              provision for taxes  attributable  to the operation or maintenance
              of the Sub-account.

     (b) is the net result of:
1)            the net asset value per share of the  Portfolio  shares at the end
              of the preceding Valuation Period plus the per share amount of any
              dividend  or  capital  gain   distribution   declared  and  unpaid
              (accrued) by the Portfolio; plus or minus

2)            any per share  charge or credit  during  the  preceding  Valuation
              Period as a provision for taxes  attributable  to the operation or
              maintenance of the Sub-account;

     (c) is the mortality and expense risk charge and the administration charge.


We value the assets in the Sub-accounts at their fair market value in accordance
with accepted accounting practices and applicable laws and regulations.  The net
investment factor may be greater than, equal to, or less than one.

Account Value For Fixed  Allocations:  We determine the Account Value separately
for  each  Fixed  Allocation,  other  than a Fixed  Allocation  made on a Policy
Anniversary,  from the date of such Fixed  Allocation to the  subsequent  Policy
Anniversary.  All amounts to be allocated to the fixed  investment  option as of
the same day are treated as one Fixed Allocation,  irrespective of the source of
the  Account  Value  being  allocated  to the fixed  option.  As of each  Policy
Anniversary,  all prior Fixed  Allocations  are combined and treated as a single
new Fixed Allocation.

The Account Value in each Fixed Allocation equals:
(a) The  Account  Value  initially  allocated  to a Fixed  Allocation;  less (b)
Charges and fees deducted from that Fixed  Allocation;  less (c) Transfers  from
that Fixed Allocation;  less (d) Distributions  from that Fixed Allocation,  for
any reason; plus (e) Interest credited to that Fixed Allocation.

Interest is credited  daily on each Fixed  Allocation.  On any day,  interest is
credited to the Account Value in a Fixed Allocation after any deductions made as
of that day and after any transfers or distributions  from that Fixed Allocation
as of that day.

Account Value in the Loan Account: The Account Value in the Loan Account equals:
(a)      Amounts transferred to the Loan Account; less
(b)      Reductions in the Loan Account due to loan repayments; plus
(c)      Interest credited to the Loan Account.

Interest is credited  daily to the Account  Value in the Loan Account  after any
deductions  and after any  transfers as of that day. The minimum  interest  rate
credited to the Account Value in the Loan Account is shown in the Schedule.





18

2AFPVLI(01/00)-18

When you take a policy loan,  we transfer  Account  Value equal to the amount of
the policy loan from the investment options to the Loan Account. Unless you give
us different  instructions  before the transfer,  we transfer Account Value from
the  investment  options  pro-rata  based on the Account Value in the investment
options as of the Valuation Day of such transfer.

A preferred  loan is any loan for which the  transferred  Account Value does not
exceed (a) less (b); where:

(a)      is the  Account  Value  less  any  contingent  deferred  sales  charge,
         multiplied by the maximum  preferred loan  percentage,  as shown in the
         Schedule; and
(b)      is any existing preferred Debt.

A standard loan is any other loan.

Account Value  maintained in the Loan Account  remains in the Loan Account until
the loan is repaid. Amounts in the Loan Account earn interest from the Valuation
Day of the transfer at the minimum  annual  interest rate shown in the Schedule.
Preferred  loan Account  Values will be credited  interest at a rate equal to or
greater than standard loan Account Values.

Monthly  Deduction:  Account  Value is reduced by  monthly  deductions.  On each
Monthly Processing Date, until the Premium Cut-off Age, we will take the monthly
deduction. The monthly deduction consists of the then applicable amounts for the
following charges and fees:

(a)      the cost of insurance charge;
(b)      any applicable sales charge;
(c)      any applicable charge for benefits provided by rider.

                                CASH VALUE CREDIT

The Cash Value Credit is an amount that we first  allocate to your Account Value
when  at  least  one  of the  following  conditions  is  satisfied  on a  Policy
Anniversary:

(a) the Cash  Value  equals  or  exceeds  the Cash  Value  Trigger  shown in the
Schedule;  or (b) the cumulative Premiums paid meet the Premium Trigger shown in
the Schedule.

Once the Cash Value Credit is earned,  it will be added to your Account Value on
the applicable Policy Anniversary and on each subsequent Policy Anniversary.

The Cash Value Credit is equal to (a)  multiplied by (b);  where (a) is the Cash
Value on the Policy  Anniversary;  and (b) is the Cash Value  Credit  percentage
shown in the Schedule.

The Cash Value Credit is applied  pro-rata,  based on the Account  Values in the
investment options.

                                    TRANSFERS

General:  You may transfer Account Value between investment options,  subject to
the allocation rules herein and any applicable  transfer fee. The amount of such
fee and when it applies are shown in the Schedule. Your transfer request must be
In Writing unless we receive a prior written  authorization  from you permitting
transfers based on instructions we receive over the phone or through  electronic
means.  The minimum  amount  required  to be in any  investment  option  after a
transfer is shown in the Schedule.  No transfers are permitted  during the grace
period.





19

2AFPVLI(01/00)-19

Where  permitted  by law, we may accept your  authorization  of a third party to
transfer Account Values on your behalf. We may suspend or cancel such acceptance
at any  time.  We  give  you  prior  notification  of  any  such  suspension  or
cancellation.  We may restrict the investment  options that will be available to
you for transfers  during any period in which you authorize  such third party to
act on your behalf. We give the third party you authorize prior  notification of
any such restrictions. However, we will not enforce such a restriction if we are
provided  evidence  satisfactory  to us that:  (a)  such  third  party  has been
appointed by a court of  competent  jurisdiction  to act on your behalf;  or (b)
such third  party has been  appointed  by you to act on your behalf for all your
financial affairs.

We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers in any Policy Year for all
Owners. We also reserve the right to limit the number of transfers in any Policy
Year or to refuse any  transfer  request  for an Owner or  certain  Owners if we
believe  that:  (a)  excessive  trading  by such  Owner or Owners or a  specific
transfer request or group of transfer requests may have a detrimental  effect on
Unit Values or the share prices of the Portfolios; or (b) we are informed by one
or more of the  Portfolios  that the  purchase  or  redemption  shares  is to be
restricted  because of  excessive  trading or a  specific  transfer  or group of
transfers  is deemed to have a  detrimental  effect on share  prices of affected
Portfolios,  or (c) we believe there may be adverse consequences to other Owners
as a result of excess transfers.

We allow at least  twelve  transfers  in each Policy  Year.  Unless we limit the
number of  transfers  in any  Policy  Year,  there is no limit on the  number of
transfers  that only  involve  variable  investment  options,  or the  number of
transfers from variable  investment options to make Fixed Allocations.  However,
we limit each  transfer from Fixed  Allocations  that are to be effective on any
day other than a Policy  Anniversary  to the greater of 25% of the Account Value
in your Fixed Allocations or $1,000. If you make such a transfer from your Fixed
Allocations,  you cannot make  another such  transfer  until either 90 days have
passed or the next Policy Anniversary, if earlier.

                        SURRENDER AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL

Surrender:  You may  surrender  your Policy for its Cash Value at any time while
the Insured is alive. You must send your Policy and surrender request In Writing
to our Office.

Partial  Withdrawals:  You may withdraw an amount equal to Tier 2 Premiums paid,
reduced by any Tier 2 Premiums previously  withdrawn,  after the Right to Cancel
period has expired.  You may withdraw other Policy values starting in the Policy
Year shown in the Schedule for availability of partial withdrawals.  The minimum
partial  withdrawal  amount is shown in the  Schedule.  The Cash Value that must
remain in the Policy as of the  Valuation  Day of a partial  withdrawal  is also
shown in the Schedule.  If the amount of the partial  withdrawal request exceeds
the maximum  amount  available,  we will process the  withdrawal for the maximum
amount available. We charge a fee, shown in the Schedule, to process any partial
withdrawal.

Effect of a Partial  Withdrawal:  Each  partial  withdrawal  reduces the Account
Value,  Cash  Value  and  Guaranteed  Minimum  Death  Benefit  by the  amount of
withdrawal  plus the amount of the  partial  withdrawal  fee.  As a result,  the
Minimum Required Death Benefit is reduced as of the Valuation Day of the partial
withdrawal.  If  necessary,  the  Specified  Amount is also  reduced so that the
resulting  Death Benefit after the partial  withdrawal  does not exceed (a) less
(b); where

(a)      is the Death Benefit before the partial withdrawal; and
(b)      is the amount withdrawn, not including the partial withdrawal fee.

An amount taken as a partial withdrawal cannot be repaid.

                                  POLICY LOANS

General:  You may borrow against your Policy.  The Policy is the only collateral
we require  for the loan.  If you  request a loan equal to the amount of loan in
effect under any policy  exchanged for this Policy,  such a loan takes effect as
of the Issue Date or, if later the date we apply the surrender  proceeds of such
exchanged policy as Premium. A loan may be taken, or an existing loan repaid, at
any time while the Insured is alive and this Policy is in force,  except  during
the period in which you have the Right to Cancel.

The Debt resulting from a loan affects the Death Proceeds,  Cash Value,  and may
affect the amount of any  benefit we may offer under a separate  endorsement  or
rider.

Maximum Loan Value: The maximum loan value is the maximum amount you may borrow.
It is equal to the Cash Value,  multiplied by the maximum loan value  percentage
shown in the Schedule. The minimum loan amount is shown in the Schedule.

Loan Interest: Loan interest accrues daily at the effective annual interest rate
shown in the Schedule.  It is payable on each Policy  Anniversary.  Interest not
paid when due will be added to the Debt and will be charged interest at the same
rate.  If you do not pay the interest  when due, we transfer  Account Value from
the investment options to the Loan Account.

This Account Value is taken  pro-rata from the  investment  options based on the
Account Value in the investment options as of the Valuation Day of the transfer.
If there is inadequate  Account Value in the  investment  options to make such a
transfer, we reserve the right to transfer the deficiency to the Loan Account as
of any  subsequent  Valuation  Date such an amount  equal to the  deficiency  is
available in the investment options.

Loan  Repayment:  Debt may be repaid  in whole or in part at any time  while the
Insured  is living  and this  Policy is in force.  Any  standard  loan is repaid
before a preferred loan.

As of the Valuation Day of the repayment:

(a) we reduce the loan principal and outstanding  loan interest  proportionately
based on the ratio between loan principal and loan interest as of that Valuation
Day;  (b) we reduce the Account  Value in the Loan Account by an amount equal to
the lesser of the amount of the loan  repayment  and the total  Account Value in
the Loan Account as of that  Valuation Day; and (c) we allocate the reduction in
the Loan Account to the investment  options  pro-rata based on the Account Value
in the investment options as of that Valuation Day. Any amount then allocated to
the Fixed Allocation will be treated as a separate Fixed Allocation.

                         GRACE PERIOD AND REINSTATEMENT

Grace  Period:  We will keep this Policy in force  during a 61 day grace  period
that begins on the Monthly  Processing  Date on which it is determined  that the
Cash Value is insufficient to pay charges then due.

We will send you and any  assignee  of  record a notice  61 days  prior to lapse
indicating a recommended  payment required to keep the Policy from lapsing.  The
recommended payment equals three months' charges based on: (a) the Net Amount at
Risk as of the beginning of the grace  period;  and (b) the  guaranteed  monthly
cost of  insurance  rate as shown in the  Schedule  for the  Policy  Year at the
beginning of the grace period.  The Policy will remain in force during the grace
period,  and  will  lapse  without  value at the end of the 61st day if the Cash
Value is insufficient to pay charges then due.

The Death Benefit  payable  during the grace period will equal the Death Benefit
in effect  immediately  prior to such  grace  period  minus the  lesser of three
months charges,  as detailed  above,  and the charges due for the period between
the beginning of the grace period and the date we receive due proof of death.






21

                  2AFPVLI(01/00)-21

Reinstatement:  Any requested  reinstatement of Debt is subject to our rules. If
the Policy  lapses,  we may  reinstate the Policy at any time within a five-year
period after the end of the grace period provided we receive the following:

     (a) Written Application to reinstate;
     (b) Evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
     (c) Payment of an amount equal to three months' charges,  based on: (i) the
         Net Amount at Risk as of the  beginning of the grace  period  preceding
         lapse;  and (ii) the  guaranteed  monthly  cost of  insurance  rate per
         thousand as shown in the Schedule for the Policy Year as of the date of
         reinstatement.

After any  reinstatement,  the period during which certain  charges apply may be
extended.  If the lapse occurred  while the sales charge or contingent  deferred
sales charge was in effect,  or while charges for certain optional benefits were
in effect,  application  of these  charges  under the  reinstated  policy may be
extended  by the  period  between  the  date  of  the  lapse  and  the  date  of
reinstatement.

                    YOUR RIGHTS, OWNERSHIP, AND DESIGNATIONS

Ownership  Rights and  Beneficiary  Designations:  You may  exercise the rights,
options and  privileges  granted in this Policy or  permitted by us. Your rights
are subject to the rights of any assignee  recorded by us and of any irrevocably
designated Beneficiary.

If more  than one  Owner is  named,  the  Owners  will own this  Policy as joint
tenants with rights of  survivorship  unless  otherwise  stated.  We require the
consent In Writing of all joint Owners for any  transaction for which we require
the written consent of an Owner.

You may name a contingent Owner. You must do so In Writing. The contingent Owner
will  become  the  Owner on your  death.  If there is more than one  Owner,  the
contingent  Owner will become the Owner on the death of the last surviving Owner
unless otherwise stated In Writing.  If you do not name a contingent  Owner, the
estate of the last  surviving  Owner will own the Policy upon the last surviving
Owner's death.

Death Proceeds are payable to the  Beneficiary.  You may designate more than one
primary or contingent Beneficiary. If you make such a designation,  the proceeds
are payable in equal  shares to the  survivors  in the  appropriate  Beneficiary
class, unless you request otherwise In Writing.

If the primary  Beneficiary  dies before  Death  Proceeds  become  payable,  the
proceeds will become payable to the contingent Beneficiary. If no Beneficiary is
alive when Death Proceeds become  payable,  or in the absence of any Beneficiary
designation, the proceeds will vest in you or your estate.

Changing  Revocable  Designations:  Unless you indicated that a prior choice was
irrevocable or your Policy has been endorsed to limit certain  changes,  you may
request to change  Owner and  Beneficiary  designations  by sending a request In
Writing.

Common Disaster:  If any Beneficiary dies with the Insured in a common disaster,
it must be  proved to our  satisfaction  that the  Insured  died  first.  Unless
information provided and satisfactory to us indicates  otherwise,  the Policy is
treated as though the Beneficiary died first.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

Entire  Contract:  This Policy,  any attached  riders or  endorsements,  and the
attached copy of any Application constitutes the entire contract. All statements
made in any Application are deemed to be representations and not warranties.

Only our  President,  a Vice  President  or  Secretary  may  change or waive any
provisions of this Policy.  Any change or waiver must be In Writing.  We are not
bound by any promises or representations made by or to any other person.





22

2AFPVLI(01/00)-22

Misstatement  of Age or Sex: If there has been a misstatement  of the age or sex
of the  Insured,  all  Policy  values,  including  the  Death  Benefit,  will be
recalculated from the Issue Date based on the correct age and sex.

Incontestability:  This Policy will be incontestable  after it has been in force
during the  Insured's  lifetime for two years,  or less if required by law, from
its Issue Date. Any increase in coverage under this Policy will be incontestable
after a period of two years, or less if required by law, from the effective date
of such increase. If the Policy is reinstated,  the Policy will be incontestable
after it has been in force for a period of two  years,  or less if  required  by
law,  from  the  date  of the  reinstatement.  Any  contestable  period  for any
additional  benefit provided by a rider attached to this Policy is stated in the
rider.

Suicide: If the Insured as shown in the Schedule dies by suicide,  while sane or
insane,  within  two years from the Issue Date and while the Policy is in force,
the Policy will  terminate.  The Death Benefit will be limited to the greater of
(a) and (b) where:

     (a) is the  Premium  paid less any  outstanding  Debt and less any  partial
         withdrawals as of the date Death  Proceeds would  otherwise have become
         payable; and
     (b) is the Cash Value as of the date Death Proceeds would otherwise  become
         payable.

Transfers, Assignments or Pledges: Generally, you may transfer, assign or pledge
your rights to another  person at any time,  prior to the Insured's  death.  You
must request a transfer or provide us with a copy of the  assignment In Writing.
A transfer or assignment is subject to our acceptance.  We will not be deemed to
know of or be obligated under any assignment prior to our receipt and acceptance
thereof.  We assume no  responsibility  for the validity or  sufficiency  of any
assignment.  A transfer,  assignment or pledge may have adverse tax consequences
for you.

Nonparticipation:  The Policy does not share in our profits or surplus earnings.

Deferral of Transactions:  We may defer any payment that is not distributed from
a variable  investment  option for a period not to exceed the lesser of 6 months
and the period  permitted by law. If we defer a distribution  or transfer from a
Fixed  Allocation or any payment under a fixed  settlement  option for more than
thirty days, or less where required by law, we will credit  interest of at least
3% per year, or the rate required by law, to the amount  deferred.  We may defer
any  distribution  from any Sub-account or any transfer from a Sub-account for a
period not to exceed 7 calendar days from the date the  transaction is effected.
Any other deferral period begins on the date such distribution or transfer would
otherwise have been transacted.

All  transactions  into,  out of or based on any  Sub-account  may be  postponed
whenever  (1) the New York  Stock  Exchange  is  closed  (other  than  customary
holidays or weekends) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as
determined by the SEC; (2) the SEC permits  postponement  and so orders;  or (3)
the SEC determines that an emergency exists which may make valuation or disposal
of securities not reasonably practical.

Elections,  Designations,  Changes and Requests:  All  elections,  designations,
changes and requests must be In Writing and are  effective  only after they have
been approved by us,  subject to any  transactions  made by us before receipt of
such notices.  We inform you of any changes that materially  affect your rights.
We reserve  the right to require  that this Policy be returned to our Office for
endorsement of any change.

Claims of  Creditors:  To the extent  permitted  by law,  no payment  under this
Policy is  subject  to the  claims of the  creditors  of any  Owner,  Insured or
Beneficiary.

Tax  Reporting:  We intend to make all  required  regulatory  reports  regarding
taxable events in relation to this Policy. Such events may include,  but are not
limited to: (a) loans;  (b) payment of death  benefits;  (c)  surrender of value
from the Policy; and (d) assignments.

2AFPVLI(01/00)-23

Tax  Reporting:  We intend to make all  required  regulatory  reports  regarding
taxable events in relation to this Policy. Such events may include,  but are not
limited to: (a) loans;  (b) payment of death  benefits;  (c)  surrender of value
from the Policy; and (d) assignments

Facility of Payment:  We reserve the right, in settlement of full liability,  to
make  payments  to a guardian,  relative  or other  person if a payee is legally
incompetent.

Participation  and  Termination  of Certain  Programs We May Offer:  To elect to
participate or to terminate  participation  in any program we may offer,  we may
require receipt at our Office of a request In Writing on a form  satisfactory to
us.

Reports to You:  We provide  reports  to you while this  Policy is in force.  We
provide you with reports at least once each  quarter  that you maintain  Account
Values in the  Sub-accounts.  We  provide  you with  reports  once a year if you
maintain Account Value only in the Fixed Allocation.  You may request additional
reports.  We  reserve  the right to  charge  up to $50 for each such  additional
report.

Reserved Rights: In addition to rights  specifically  reserved elsewhere in this
Policy,  we  reserve  the right to any or all of the  following:  (a)  combine a
Sub-account with other  Sub-accounts;  (b) combine the Separate Account shown in
the Schedule with other separate  accounts;  (c) deregister the Separate Account
shown in the Schedule under the Investment  Company Act of 1940; (d) operate the
Separate Account shown in the Schedule as a management  investment company under
the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 or in any other form  permitted by law; (e)
make changes  required by any change in the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange
Act of 1934 or the  Investment  Company Act of 1940;  (f) make  changes that are
necessary to maintain the tax status of your Policy under the Code; and (g) make
changes  required by any change in other  federal or state laws relating to life
insurance policies.

We may eliminate Sub-accounts,  or substitute one or more Portfolios for the one
in which a Sub-account is invested. Substitutions may be necessary if we believe
a Portfolio no longer suits the purpose of the Policy.  This may happen due to a
change in laws or  regulations,  or a change  in the  investment  objectives  or
restrictions of a Portfolio, or because the Portfolio is no longer available for
investment,  or for some other reason.  We would obtain prior  approval from the
insurance  department  of our state of domicile,  if so required by law,  before
making such a  substitution,  combination,  deletion or addition.  We also would
obtain prior  approval  from the SEC as required by law, and any other  required
approvals before making such a substitution, combination, deletion or addition.

                             POLICY PAYMENT OPTIONS

Payment Options:  Partial withdrawals,  surrender amounts and Death Proceeds may
be paid as a lump sum or pursuant to any other payment  option we offer.  If you
choose any of our  payment  options,  you must  request  your choice In Writing.
Payment  options can be guaranteed  for life,  for a certain  period,  for joint
lives or for a certain  period and life as described  below.  We make  available
fixed payments.  We reserve the right to require that the payments be payable on
the  first  or the  fifteenth  day of a  calendar  month.  Except  for  lump sum
payments,  we will only make  payments  directly to an account  with a financial
institution in the United States of America.

In the absence of an election In Writing prior to Death  Proceeds  becoming due,
the Beneficiary may elect to receive the Death Proceeds under one of the payment
options described below.  However, if you made an election,  the Beneficiary may
not alter such election.

For purposes of the payment options  described  below, the term "key life" means
the  person  or  persons  upon  whose  life  any  payments  dependent  upon  the
continuation  of life are based.

     (a) Option 1 -  Payments  for Life:  Under this  option,  income is payable
         periodically  prior to the death of the key life,  terminating with the
         last payment due prior to such death.







24

2AFPVLI(01/00)-24

     (b) Option 2 - Payments  for Life with 10, 15, or 20 Years  Certain:  Under
         this option, income is payable periodically for 10, 15, or 20 years, as
         selected,  and thereafter  until the death of the key life.  Should the
         death of the key life occur before the end of the period selected,  the
         remaining  payments  are  paid  to the  Beneficiary  to the end of such
         period.

     (c) Option 3 - Payments Based on Joint Lives: Under this option,  income is
         payable  periodically  during the joint lifetime of two key lives,  and
         thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the survivor,  ceasing with
         the last payment prior to the survivor's death

     (d) Option 4 - Payments for a Certain Period: Under this option,  income is
         payable  periodically  for a specified  number of years.  The number of
         years is subject to our then current rules. Should the payee die before
         the end of the specified  number of years,  the remaining  payments are
         paid to the Beneficiary to the end of such period.

The periodic  payment amount is determined by multiplying  the amount applied to
purchase  payment  options  (expressed in thousands of dollars) by the amount of
the periodic payment per $1,000 obtained from our then current payment rates for
that type of payment  option and for the  frequency of payment  selected.  These
rates will not be less than  those  shown in the  Payment  Option  Tables  shown
herein.

We reserve the right to require  submission prior to commencement of any payment
option of  evidence  satisfactory  to us of the age and sex of any key life upon
whose life payment amounts are calculated.

Proof of Survival:  Any payment is subject to evidence  satisfactory  to us that
the payee is alive on the date such payment is otherwise due.

                              PAYMENT OPTION TABLES

The attached  tables show the minimum dollar amount of each monthly  payment for
each $1,000  applied  under the  options.  The  amounts  payable  when  payments
commence may be higher,  based on our then current  assumptions  as to interest,
expenses and mortality, but will not be lower.

Under  options one and two,  the amount of each  payment  depends on the age and
sex, if  applicable,  of the payee at the time the first  payment is due.  Under
option  three,  the  amount  of each  payment  depends  on the age and  sex,  if
applicable, of both payees at the time the first payment is due. No election can
be changed once payments begin.

The tables  shown are based on interest at 3% per year  compounded  annually and
the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table set back one year for males and two
years for females,  or the appropriate  variation of such table with sex-neutral
rates if necessary to meet state or Federal requirements.

The payee's settlement age is the payee's age, on the date of the first payment,
minus an age adjustment.  The age adjustments are shown below. They are based on
the date of the first payment. The age adjustment does not exceed the age of the
payee.
