READ THIS CONTRACT CAREFULLY
This is a legal contract between the Contract Owner and the Company.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FORMULA
This contract contains a Market Value Adjustment formula. The formula may result
in both upward and downward adjustments in the Gross Surrender Value. Details of
the Market-Value Adjustment are described on page 9.

The Market-Value Adjustment formula will not be applied when the Contract Owner
requests, In Writing:

a)   a full or partial surrender at the end of any Guarantee Period if the
     Company receives the request during the 30 day period preceding the end of
     such Guarantee Period; or

b)   any interest credited during the twelve month period prior to the written
     request.



NONPARTICIPATING

RIGHT TO EXAMINE CONTRACT

The Company wants the Contract Owner to be satisfied with this contract. The
Company urges the Contract Owner to examine it closely. If for any reason the
Contract Owner is not satisfied with this contract, the Contract Owner may
surrender the contract by returning the contract within ten days after it was
purchased. A written request to surrender the contract must accompany the
contract. In such event the Company will pay the Contract Owner an amount equal
to the sum of a) Account Value on the date of surrender multiplied by the Market
Value Adjustment formula and b) any charges deducted from the purchase payment.

             ANNUITANT, CONTINGENT ANNUITANT, AND PARTICIPANT


             The Annuitant may not be changed

             The designations of Contract Owner and Contingent Annuitant will
             remain in effect until changed by the Contract Owner. Changes in
             the designation of the Contract Owner may be made during the
             lifetime of the Annuitant by written notice to the Company. Changes
             in the designation of the Contingent Annuitant may be made at any
             time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date by written notice to
             the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Contingent
             Annuitant has been named and the Contract Owner/Annuitant's spouse
             is the Beneficiary, it will be assumed that the Contract
             Owner/Annuitant's spouse is the Contingent Annuitant.

             The Contract Owner has the sole power to exercise all rights,
             options and privileges granted by this contract or permitted by

             Contract Owners, each Contract Owner alone may exercise all rights,
             options and privileges, except with respect to Termination
             Provisions.

             BENEFICIARY

GENERAL      The Designated Beneficiary will remain in effect until changed by
CONTROL      the Contract Owner. Changes in the designated Beneficiary may be
PROVISIONS   made during the lifetime of the Annuitant by written notice to the
 (CONTINUED) Company. If the designated Beneficiary has been designated
             irrevocably, however, such designation cannot be changed or
             revoked without such Beneficiary's written consent. Upon receipt
             of such notice and written consent, if required, at the Home
             Office of the Company, the new designation will take effect as of
             the date the notice is signed, whether or not the Annuitant or
             Contract Owner is alive at the time of receipt of such notice.
             The change will be subject to any payments made or other action
             taken by the Company before the receipt of the notice.

             In the event of the death of the Annuitant when there is no
             surviving Contingent Annuitant the Beneficiary will be as follows.
             If the Annuitant is a joint Contract Owner and the death of the
             Annuitant occurs prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the
             Beneficiary shall be the surviving Contract Owner, notwithstanding
             that the Designated Beneficiary may be different. Otherwise, the
             Beneficiary will be the Designated Beneficiary then in effect. If
             there is no Designated Beneficiary in effect or if the Designated
             Beneficiary is no longer living, the Contract Owner will be the
             Beneficiary. If the Annuitant is the sole Contract Owner and there
             is no Designated Beneficiary in effect, the Annuitant's estate will
             be the Beneficiary.

             In the event of the death of the Contract Owner prior to the
             Annuity Commencement Date, the Beneficiary will be as follows.
             Upon the death of the joint Contract Owner, the Beneficiary
             will be the surviving joint Contract Owner, notwithstanding
             that the Designated Beneficiary may be different. If the Contract
             Owner was the sole Contract Owner, the Beneficiary shall be the
             Designated Beneficiary then in effect. If  no Beneficiary
             designation is in effect or if the Designated Beneficiary has
             predeceased the Contract Owner, the Contract Owner's estate will
             be the beneficiary. At the first death of a joint Contract
             Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Beneficiary
             shall be the surviving Contract Owner notwithstanding that the
             Designated Beneficiary may be different.

GENERAL
PROVISIONS
             THE CONTRACT

             The contract, endorsements and application, if any, constitute the
             entire contract.

             Any values available under the Termination or Surrender Provisions

             MODIFICATION

GENERAL      The only way the contract may be modified is by a written agreement
PROVISIONS   with the Contract Owner signed by our President, or one of our Vice
 (CONTINUED) Presidents, Secretaries, or Assistant Secretaries. No modification
             will affect the amount or term of any annuity begun prior to the
             modification unless it is required to conform the contract to any
             Federal or State statute. No modification of the contract will
             affect the method by which the Contract Owners' Account Value will
             be determined.

             MISSTATEMENT OF AGE AND SEX

             If the age and/or sex of the Annuitant is incorrectly stated, death
             benefits or annuity payments will be adjusted to the payment which
             would have been provided at the correct age and sex adjusted for
             any overpayments or underpayments which had been made. The adjusted
             annuity payment or death benefit will include interest of 3-1/2% in
             the event of an underpayment or will deduct interest of 3-1/2% in
             the event of an overpayment.

             INCONTESTIBILITY

             We cannot contest this contract from the date of issue.

             CHANGE OF ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE

             The Contact Owner may change the Annuity Commencement Date provided
             the Company is notified In Writing 30 days before the proposed
             Annuity Commencement Date; and the proposed date selected is on or
             before the Annuitant's attained age 90.

             information required by the Department of Insurance.

             TRANSFER BETWEEN GUARANTEE PERIODS

             Once each Contract Year, the Contract Owner may elect, In Writing
             to transfer out of the current Guarantee Period and into a
             Guarantee Period of different duration.  At that time, a new
             Guarantee Period will be established for the duration chosen by the
             Contract Owner, and the Account Value at the beginning of the new
             Guarantee Period will equal the Account Value for the current
             Guarantee Period multiplied by the Market Value Adjustment for the
             current Guarantee Period. The Company reserves the right to charge
             for any such transfer by reducing the Account Value at the
             beginning of the new Guarantee Period by an amount not to exceed
             $50.00.

GENERAL
PROVISIONS   Surrender charges will continue to be based on the appropriate
(CONTINUED)  Contract Year as determined from the original Contract Date.

CREDITING OF
INTEREST
AND GUARANTEE
PERIODS      The Purchase Payment (less the Gross Surrender Value of all
             surrenders made and less applicable Premium Taxes, if any) will
             earn interest at the Initial Guarantee Rate, compounded annually,
             during the Initial Guarantee Period.

             At the end of any Guarantee Period, a subsequent Guarantee Period
             of the same duration will commence, unless the Contract Owner has:

                a) requested, In Writing, a surrender within 30 days prior to
                   the end of the current Guarantee Period; or

                b) elected, In Writing, a Guarantee Period of a different
                   duration from among those offered by the Company at any time
                   within 30 days prior to the end of the current Guarantee
                   Period; or

                c) selected a subsequent Guarantee Period that extends beyond
                   the Annuity Commencement Date then in effect. In this case,
                   the Company will automatically establish a subsequent
                   Guarantee Period that will end nearest to the Annuity
                   Commencement Date then in effect, unless the Contract Owner
                   elects, In Writing, for a subsequent Guarantee Period of
                   shorter duration.

             The Account Value at the beginning of any subsequent Guarantee
             Period will be equal to the Account Value at the end of the
             Guarantee Period just ending. The Account Value will earn interest
             at the Subsequent Guarantee Rate, compounded annually, in the
             subsequent Guarantee Period. This rate will be at least equal to
             the Initial Guarantee Rates being credited to Purchase Payments
             for new contracts at the time the Subsequent Guarantee Rate is
             determined.

             The initial Guarantee Rate and the Subsequent Guarantee Rate
             will never be less than 3%. Surrenders made during a Guarantee
             Period will be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.

TERMINATION
PROVISIONS   GENERAL SURRENDERS

             Full surrenders may be made under this contract at any time.
             Partial surrenders may only be made if:

                a) The Gross Surrender Value is at least $1,000; and

                b) the remaining Account Value after the Gross Surrender Value
                   has been deducted is at least $5,000.


                                     Page 8



TERMINATION
PROVISIONS   In the case of all surrenders, the Account Value will be reduced
(CONTINUED)  by the Gross Surrender Value on the Surrender Date and the Net
             Surrender Value will be payable to the Contract Owner. Except as
             provided for in the Special Surrender Section, the Net Surrender
             Value is calculated by the Company on a daily basis as follows:

                 (A - B) X C, where:

              A = the Gross Surrender Value reduced by any applicable Annual
                Contract Maintenance Fee;

              B = The surrender charge, shown on Page 3, plus any unpaid
                Premium Taxes;

              C = the Market Value Adjustment described below.

             MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

             The formula which will be used to determine the Market Value
             Adjustment is calculated by the Company on a daily basis as
             follows:


                   _       _  N/12
                  |  1 + I  |
                  |  -----  |
                  |_ 1 + J _|


              I = Guarantee Rate in effect for the Current Guarantee Period
                  (expressed as a decimal, e.g., - 1% = .01).

              J = The Current Rate (expressed as a decimal, e.g. - 1% = .01) in
                  effect for durations equal to the number of years remaining in
                  the current Guarantee Period (years are rounded to the next
                  highest number of years). If not available, the Company will
                  utilize a rate equal to the most recent Moody's Corporate Bond
                  Yield Average - Monthly Average Corporates (for the applicable
                  duration) as published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. In
                  the event the Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average - Monthly
                  Average Corporates is no longer available, a suitable
                  replacement index, subject to the approval of the Insurance
                  Department, would be utilized.

              N = The number of complete months from the Surrender Date to the
                  end of the current Guarantee Period.

             SPECIAL SURRENDERS

             A full or partial surrender made at the end of a Guarantee Period
             may be subject to a surrender charge as set forth on page 3. A
             Market Value Adjustment will not be applied. A request for a
             surrender at the end of a Guarantee Period must be received In
             Writing during the 30 day period preceding the end of such
             Guarantee Period.

             In addition, if the Contract Owner notifies the Company, In
             Writing, the Company will send the Contract Owner any interest
             credited during the twelve month period prior to the written
             request. No Surrender Charge or Market Value Adjustment will be
             imposed on such interest payments.

             TERMINATION AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE

             This contract may not be surrendered after the commencement of
             annuity payments.

             PAYMENT UPON SURRENDER -- DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT
TERMINATION
PROVISIONS   The Company may defer payment of a partial or full surrender
(CONTINUED)  request for up to six months from the date of the request. If
             payment is deferred for more than 10 days from the date the request
             is received, the Company will pay interest of 4-1/2% or the
             interest rate currently being paid on proceeds left under the
             interest settlement option, whichever is higher, on the amount
             deferred.

             DEATH BENEFIT

             If the Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and
             there is no designated Contingent Annuitant surviving, or if the
             Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the death
             benefit will be payable to the Beneficiary as determined under the
             Control Provisions. The death benefit equals the Account Value as
             of the date the Company receives written notification of Due Proof
             of Death.

             The death benefit will be due and payable within a reasonable
             period of time (not to exceed 6 months) after the date of the
             Company's receipt of Due Proof of Death. The death benefit may be
             taken in one sum or under any of the settlement options then being
             offered by the Company provided, however, that, in the event of a
             Contract Owner's Death, any settlement option must provide that any
             amount payable as a death benefit will commence upon notification
             of Due Proof of Death and be completed within five years of the
             date of death or, if the benefit is payable over a period not
             extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary or over the
             life of the Beneficiary, such distribution must commence within one
             year of the date of death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
             event of the Contract Owner's death where the sole Beneficiary is
             the spouse of the Contract Owner and the Annuitant or Contingent
             Annuitant is living, such spouse may elect, in lieu of receiving
             the death benefit, to be treated as the Contract Owner.

SETTLEMENT
PROVISIONS   ANNUITY BENEFIT

             On the Annuity Commencement Date, unless directed otherwise, the
             Company will apply the Contract Owner's Account Value multiplied by
             the Market Value Adjustment, if any, less any applicable Premium
             Taxes, to purchase the monthly income payments according to the
             Annuity Option elected. If the Annuity Commencement Date coincides
             with the end of any Guarantee Period, no Market Value Adjustment
             will be applied in the determination of the monthly income
             payments. No surrender charge will be applied upon annuitization.

             In no event will the annuity benefit, at the time of its
             commencement, be less than that which would be provided by applying
             the greater of the Net Surrender Value or 95 percent of what the
             Net Surrender Value would be with no surrender charge, to purchase
             a single premium immediate annuity contract offered by the Company
             at that time to the same class of annuitants.

             ELECTION OF ANNUITY OPTIONS

SETTLEMENT
PROVISIONS   The Contract Owner may elect any of the Annuity Options described
(CONTINUED)  below or any other Annuity Option being offered by the Company at
             the time of Annuitization. In the absence of such election, the
             second option providing a life annuity with 120 monthly payments
             certain will apply.

             Election of any of these options must be made In Writing to the
             Company at least 30 days prior to the date such election is to
             become effective.

             DATE OF PAYMENT

             The first payment under any option shall be made on the tenth day
             of the month following the Annuity Commencement Date. Subsequent
             payments shall be made on the tenth day of each month in accordance
             with the manner of payment selected.

             The Contract Owner, or in the event the Contract Owner has not done
             so, the Beneficiary after the death of the Annuitant, may elect, in
             lieu of payment in one sum, any amount or part thereof due by the
             Company under this contract to the Beneficiary will be applied
             under any of the options described below. Such election must be
             made within one year after the death of the Annuitant by written
             notice to the offices of the Company.

             DEATH OF ANNUITANT

             In the event of the death of the Annuitant while receiving annuity
             payments, the present values of the current dollar amount on the
             date of death of any remaining guaranteed number of payments, or
             any then remaining balance of proceeds under the Fifth Option will
             be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary unless other provisions shall
             have been made and approved by the Company. However, if the
             Contract Owner was also the Annuitant, any method of distribution
             must provide that any amount payable as a death benefit will be
             distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution
             in effect at the Contract Owner's death. Calculations of such
             present value of the guaranteed payments remaining will be based on
             the interest rate that is used by the Company to determine the
             amount of each certain payment.

             ANNUITY OPTIONS

             FIRST OPTION -- Life Annuity -- An annuity payable monthly during
             the lifetime of the Annuitant, ceasing with the last payment due
             prior to the death of the Annuitant.

             SECOND OPTION -- Life Annuity -- with 120, 180, or 240 Monthly
             Payments Certain - An annuity providing monthly income to the
             Annuitant for a fixed period of 120 months, 180 months, or 240
             months (as selected), and for as long thereafter as the Annuitant
             shall live.

             THIRD OPTION -- Cash Refund Life Annuity -- An annuity payable
             monthly during the lifetime of the Annuitant, ceasing with the last
             payment due prior to the death of the Annuitant provided that, at
             the death of the Annuitant the beneficiary will receive an
             additional payment equal to the excess, if any, of (a) over (b)
             where: (a) is the Account Value applied on the Annuity Commencement
             Date under this option; and (b) is the dollar amount of annuity
             payments already paid.

SETTLEMENT
PROVISIONS
(CONTINUED)  FOURTH OPTION -- Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity -- An annuity
             payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a
             secondary payee, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of
             the survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of
             the survivor.

             FIFTH OPTION -- Payments for a designated Period -- An amount
             payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
             5 to 30 years.

ANNUITY
TABLES       The attached tables show the dollar amount of the monthly payments
             for each $1,000 applied under the five options. Under the First,
             Second, or Third Options, the amount of each payment will depend
             upon the age and sex of the Annuitant at the time the first payment
             is due. Under the Fourth Option, the amount of each payment will
             depend upon the sex of both payees and their ages at the time the
             first payment is due.

             MINIMUM PAYMENT

             The option elected must result in a payment of at least $20.00. If
             at any time payments are less than $20.00, the Company has the
             right to change the frequency to an interval resulting in a payment
             of at least $20.00. If any amount due is less than $20.00 per year,
             the Company may make other arrangements that are equitable to the
             Annuitant.

             DESCRIPTION OF TABLES

             The tables for the First, Second, Third and Fourth Options are
             based on the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality table with ages
             set back one year and a net investment rate of 4% per annum. The
             Table for the Fifth Option is based on a net investment rate of 4%
             per annum.
