This  Supplement  should be read and retained with the current  Prospectus  for your  contract.  This  Supplement is intended to update

As detailed below,  this supplement  announces  changes to your ability to cancel certain  optional living benefits and either re-elect
the same benefit or elect another living benefit.


WHEN  CONSIDERING  CANCELLATION OF AN EXISTING  OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT WITH OR WITHOUT THE RE-ELECTION OF THE SAME BENEFIT OR ELECTION
OF A NEW OPTIONAL  LIVING  BENEFIT,  PLEASE  REVIEW THE  PROSPECTUS  FOR  COMPLETE  DETAILS AND SPEAK TO YOUR  FINANCIAL  PROFESSIONAL.
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE NEW BENEFIT MAY BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN YOUR EXISTING BENEFIT.


A.  Lifetime  Five - Elections of Highest Daily  Lifetime  Seven or Spousal  Highest  Daily  Lifetime  Seven.  Under the section of the
prospectus  entitled  "Lifetime Five Income Benefit",  we replace the last two paragraphs within the sub-section  entitled "Election of
Lifetime Five" with the following:

We no longer permit  elections of Lifetime Five - - whether for those who currently  participate  in Lifetime Five or for those who are
buying a Contract  for the first  time.  If you wish,  you may cancel the  Lifetime  Five  benefit.  You may then elect  Highest  Daily
Lifetime Seven or Spousal  Highest Daily Lifetime Seven (or any other  currently  available  living  benefit) on the Business Day after
you have  cancelled the Lifetime Five benefit  provided,  the request is received in good order (subject to state  availability  and in
accordance  with any  applicable  age  requirements).  Upon your  election of Highest  Daily  Lifetime  Seven or Spousal  Highest Daily
Lifetime  Seven,  Contract  Value may be  transferred  between  the AST  Investment  Grade  Bond  Portfolio  Sub-account  and the other
Sub-accounts  according to the formula (See "Asset  Transfer  Component of Highest Daily Lifetime Seven/ Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime
Seven"  section for more details).  It is possible that over time the formula could  transfer some,  all, or none of the Contract Value
to  the  AST  Investment  Grade  Bond  Portfolio  Sub-account  under  the  newly-elected   benefit.  You  should  be  aware  that  upon
termination of the Lifetime Five benefit,  you will lose the Protected  Withdrawal Value,  Annual Income Amount,  and Annual Withdrawal
Amount that you had  accumulated  under the benefit.  Thus, the initial  guarantees  under any  newly-elected  benefit will be based on
your  current  Account  Value.  Finally,  please note that the fee for the Highest  Daily  Lifetime  Seven and  Spousal  Highest  Daily
Lifetime Seven benefits is a percentage of Protected  Withdrawal  Value.  Thus, if Protected  Withdrawal  Value is larger than Contract
Value,  the fee will be  greater  than it would  have been had it been based on  Contract  Value.  Once the  Lifetime  Five  benefit is
canceled you are not required to re-elect another  optional living benefit and any subsequent  benefit election may be made on or after
the first Business Day following the  cancellation  of the Lifetime Five benefit  provided that the benefit you are looking to elect is
available on a post- issue basis .
