PART II 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 duly adopted pursuant to  
authority conferred in that section.                                            

RULE 484 UNDERTAKING              
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of    
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the     
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant   
as 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     
final adjudication of such issue.                                               

REPRESENTATIONS PURSUANT TO RULE 6e-3(T)              

This filing is made pursuant to Rule 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 mortality and expense risk charge is within the range of      
industry practice for comparable flexible premium variable life       
insurance policies.                                                   

(3)  Registrant has concluded that there is a reasonable likelihood that the    
 distribution financing arrangement of the Variable Account will benefit
the Variable Account and Policyowners and will keep and make available
to the Commission on request a memorandum setting forth the basis for 
this representation.                                                  

(4)  The Variable 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 on an analysis of other flexible or scheduled premium policies         
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, including the level of other       
expense charges, uncertainties in terms of expense and mortality factors, and   
policy guarantees.  Registrant undertakes to keep and make available to the     
Commission on request the documents used to support the representation in       
paragraph (2) above.
