Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The expenses of the issuance and distribution of the interests in the Guarantee
Period Accounts of the Contract to be registered, other than commissions on
sales of the Contracts, are to be borne by the registrant.

Item 14. Indemnification

The amended By-Laws of the depositor provide that the depositor will indemnify,
to the fullest extent now or hereafter provided for or permitted by law, each
person involved in, or made or threatened to be made a party to, any action,
suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, including any
investigative, administrative, legislative, or other proceeding, and including
any action by or in the right of the depositor or any other corporation, or any
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise
(any such entity, other than the depositor, being hereinafter referred to as an
"Enterprise"), and including appeals therein (any such action or process being
hereinafter referred to as a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such
person, such person's testator or intestate (i) is or was a director or officer
of the depositor, or (ii) is or was serving, at the request of the depositor, as
a director, officer, or in any other capacity, or any other Enterprise, against
any and all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses, including
attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred as a result of or in
connection with any Proceeding, except as provided below.

No indemnification will be made to or on behalf of any such person if a judgment
or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that such
person's acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated,
or that such person personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which such person was not legally entitled. In addition, no
indemnification will be made with respect to any Proceeding initiated by any
such person against the depositor, or a director or officer of the depositor,
other than to enforce the terms of this indemnification provision, unless such
Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the depositor. Further,
no indemnification will be made with respect to any settlement or compromise of
any Proceeding unless and until the depositor has consented to such settlement
or compromise.

The depositor may, from time to time, with the approval of the Board of
Directors, and to the extent authorized, grant rights to indemnification, and to
the advancement of expenses, to any employee or agent of the depositor or to any
person serving at the request of the



depositor as a director or officer, or in any other capacity, of any other
Enterprise, to the fullest extent of the provisions with respect to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the
depositor.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the depositor or the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, 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 has 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.

Item 17. Undertakings

Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933,

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     registration statement,

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
     distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
     material change to such information in the registration statement,

          (iv) Registrant represents that it is relying upon the no-action
     assurance given to the American Council of Life Insurance (pub. Avail. Nov.
     28, 1988). Further, Registrant represents that it has complied with the
     provisions of paragraphs (1) - (4) of that no-action letter.

(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed a new
     registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
     offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.

(3)  That all post-effective amendments will comply with the applicable forms,
     rules and regulations of the Commission in effect at the time such
     post-effective amendments are filed, and

(4)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
     the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
     the offering.
