Ameritas Advisor II VUL
Individual Flexible Premium
Variable Universal Life Insurance Policy	Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. Separate Account LLVL

This Policy is no longer available for sale effective March 31, 2024.

The features, benefits, and risks are applicable to existing Policy Owners.

If you are a new investor in the Policy, you may cancel your Policy within 10 days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties. In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive the greater of either a full refund of the amount you paid with your application minus withdrawals and Policy Loans or your total Policy Value. You should review this prospectus, or consult with your investment professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply.

This prospectus describes the Ameritas Advisor II VUL (the "Policy"), especially its Separate Account. The Policy is designed to help you, the Policy Owner, provide life insurance protection while having flexibility, within limits, as to the amount and timing of premium payments, the amount of the death benefit, and how you invest your Account Value. The value of your Policy will increase or decrease based on the performance of the Investment Options you choose. The amount of the death benefit can also vary as a result of investment performance.

This Policy may be available through third-party financial intermediaries who charge an Advisory Fee for their services. These fees are in addition to Policy fees and expenses described in this prospectus. If the Policy Owner elects to pay the Advisory Fees from the Account Value, this will reduce the Account Value and death benefit under the Policy by the same calculation as any other withdrawals, with the exception that the Specified Amount will not be reduced by the amount of these Advisory Fees. In addition, Advisory Fee withdrawals may be subject to federal and state income taxes and may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. For more information, see Advisory Fee Endorsement under OTHER BENEFITS UNDER THE POLICY, and Partial Withdrawals and Advisory Fees under SURRENDERS AND WITHDRAWALS, and TAXES.

You may allocate all or part of your Account Value among a variety of Subaccount variable Investment Options where you have the investment risk, including possible loss of principal. (The Subaccounts are listed in APPENDIX A: PORTFOLIO COMPANIES AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY ("APPENDIX A") section of this prospectus.)

You may also allocate all or part of your investment to a Fixed Account fixed interest rate option, where we have the investment risk and guarantee a certain return on your investment. The Fixed Account is part of our General Account and is subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of the Company.

You may access certain documents relating to the Policy and Subaccounts electronically. Current prospectuses and reports for the Policy and Subaccounts are available on our website, and updated prospectuses are posted on or about May 1 of each year. Prospectuses may be supplemented throughout the year, and copies of all supplements are also available on our website. We post annual reports on our website shortly after March 1 each year.

We may make other documents available to you electronically through the email address that you provide to us. When electronic delivery becomes available, and upon your election to receive information online, we will notify you when a transaction pertaining to your Policy has occurred or a document impacting your Policy or the Subaccounts has been posted. In order to receive your Policy documents online you should have regular and continuous Internet access.

Important Information You Should Consider About the Policy

purpose of the policy

The Ameritas Advisor II VUL Policy is flexible premium variable universal life insurance. The Policy is designed to provide lifetime insurance coverage on the Insured(s) named in the Policy, as well as flexibility in connection with premium payments and death benefits. The Policy pays death benefit proceeds to the Policy Beneficiary upon the Insured's death or pays a Cash Surrender Value to you if you Surrender the Policy. This flexibility allows you to provide for changing insurance needs within the confines of a single insurance Policy.

Some policy forms, features and/or riders described in this prospectus may be subject to state variations or may not be available in all states. See the STATE VARIATIONS section.

Premiums

You have flexibility under the Policy. Within certain limits, you can vary the amount and timing of premium payments, change the death benefit, and transfer amounts among the Investment Options. We reserve the right to limit the amount and frequency of premium payments. We will not issue a Policy to an Insured older than age 80 on the Insured's birthday nearest the Policy Date. We will not accept that portion of a premium payment which affects the tax qualifications of this Policy as described in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. This excess amount will be returned to you. Payment of insufficient premiums may result in a lapse of the Policy.

You may allocate all or a part of your premiums among the Separate Account Subaccount variable Investment Options or the Fixed Account fixed interest rate option. Subaccount variable Investment Options are in turn invested in corresponding underlying portfolio companies. Fixed Account allocations are invested in our General Account and we guarantee a fixed rate of interest. More information regarding the Fixed Account can be found in section THE FIXED ACCOUNT FIXED INTEREST RATE OPTION. More detail concerning each portfolio company can be found in APPENDIX A.

POLICY FEATURES

Death Benefit

Your Policy Value and death benefit will go up or down as a result of the investment experience of your Policy. You may choose from three types of death benefit options. You may change from one death benefit type to another, subject to limitations, and charges may apply. The amount we pay depends on whether you have chosen death benefit Option A, death benefit Option B, or death benefit Option C:

Death benefit proceeds are reduced by any Policy Loan Balance, Lien Balance and any Monthly Deductions due but unpaid at death.

Surrenders and Withdrawals

You can Surrender the Policy in full at any time for its Cash Surrender Value, or, within limits, withdraw part of the Account Value. Applicable charges are shown in the FEE TABLE. Restrictions include that we may defer payments from the Fixed Account for up to six months. In some cases, such as when the Policy's death benefit is driven by the Corridor Factor, withdrawing part of the Account Value may result in a death benefit reduction that is larger than the amount of the partial withdrawal.

Advisory Fees

This Policy may be available through third-party financial intermediaries who charge an Advisory Fee for their services. These fees are in addition to Policy fees and expenses described in this prospectus. If the Policy Owner elects to pay the Advisory Fees from the Account Value, this will reduce the Account Value and death benefit under the Policy by the same calculation as any other withdrawals, with the exception that the Specified Amount will not be reduced by the amount of these Advisory Fees. In some cases, such as when the Policy's death benefit is driven by the Corridor Factor, withdrawing part of the Account Value may result in a death benefit reduction that is larger than the amount of the partial withdrawal. In addition, Advisory Fee withdrawals may be subject to federal and state income taxes and may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. You should discuss the impact of deducting Advisory Fees from Account Value with your financial and tax professional prior to making any election.

Policy Loans

You may borrow a limited amount of Account Value. There is no minimum Policy Loan amount. The maximum Policy Loan amount is the Cash Surrender Value, minus Policy Loan interest to the next Annual Date, minus the sum of the next three monthly deductions. Interest accrues on outstanding Policy Loan amounts. There are two types of Policy Loans. Regular Policy Loans are Policy Loans made during the first five Policy years. Preferred Policy Loans are Policy Loans made after the 5^th Policy year. Preferred Policy Loans may be available at a lower interest rate for a portion of your Policy Loan Balance.

Optional Features

The Policy offers additional insurance coverage and other benefits through optional features. Certain riders have costs associated with them. More detail concerning fees can be found in the FEE TABLE.

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and Surrendering or making withdrawals from the Policy. Please refer to your Policy Specifications Page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

The fees and expenses do not reflect any Advisory Fees paid to financial professionals from the Account Value or other assets owned by the Policy Owner; if those charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Policy, pay a premium, Surrender or make withdrawals from the Policy, or transfer cash value between Investment Options.

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the Policy, to equal the annualized charges shown, not including Subaccount portfolio company operating fees and expenses.

Periodic Charges Table Footnotes:

We currently do not assess a separate charge against our Separate Account or Fixed Account for any income taxes. We may, however, make such a charge in the future if income or gains within the Separate Account will incur any income tax liability, or if tax treatment of our Company changes.

Portfolio Company Operating Expenses (for the year ended December 31, 2023, unless noted)

The next table shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the portfolio companies, before any waivers or reductions, that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Policy. Actual fees and expenses for the underlying portfolios vary daily, so expenses for any given day may be greater or less than listed. A complete list of portfolio companies available under the Policy, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this document.

The AMERITAS ADVISOR II VUL Policy is offered and issued by Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. (the "Depositor"), 5900 O Street, Lincoln, Nebraska 68510.

The Registrant is Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. Separate Account LLVL (the "Separate Account"). The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust. However, the SEC does not supervise the management or the investment practices or policies of the Separate Account or the Depositor. Under Nebraska law, income, gains, and losses credited to or charged against, the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account's own investment experience and not the investment experience of the Depositor's other assets. The assets of the Separate Account may not be used to pay any liabilities of the Depositor other than those arising from the Policies. The Depositor is obligated to pay all amounts promised to investors under the Policies. Any and all distributions made by the underlying portfolios, with respect to the shares held by the Separate Account, will be reinvested in additional shares at net asset value. We are responsible to you for meeting the obligations of the Policy, but we do not guarantee the investment performance of any of the variable Investment Options' underlying portfolios. We do not make any representations about their future performance.

The Separate Account provides you with variable Investment Options in the form of underlying portfolio investments. Each underlying portfolio is an open-end investment management company. When you allocate investments to an underlying portfolio, those investments are placed in a Subaccount of the Separate Account corresponding to that portfolio, and the Subaccount in turn invests in the portfolio. The Policy Value of your Policy depends directly on the investment performance of the portfolios that you select.

The Policy allows you to choose from a wide array of Investment Options – each chosen for its potential to meet specific investment objectives.

You may allocate all or a part of your premiums among the Separate Account variable Investment Options or the Fixed Account fixed interest rate option. Allocations must be in whole percentages and total 100%.

Information regarding each Portfolio Company, including its (i) its name; (ii) it's objective; (iii) investment adviser and any sub-investment advisers; (iv) current expenses; and (v) performance is found in APPENDIX A. Each Portfolio Company has issued a prospectus that contains more detailed information about the Portfolio Company. You may obtain paper copies of the prospectuses at no cost by calling our Service Center at 800-255-9678 or by sending an email request to ALICTD@ameritas.com.

You may also view the prospectuses on our website at ameritas.com/investments/fund-prospectuses/.

The value of your Policy will increase or decrease based on the investment performance of the variable Investment Options you choose. The investment results of each variable Investment Option are likely to differ significantly and vary over time. They do not earn a fixed interest rate. Please consider carefully, and on a continuing basis, which Investment Options best suit your long-term investment objectives and risk tolerance.

You bear the risk that the variable Investment Options you select may fail to meet their objectives,

that they could decrease in value, and that you could lose principal.

There is no assurance the investment objectives will be met. An investment in money market funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government. There can be no assurance that the funds will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

Each Subaccount's underlying portfolio operates as a separate variable Investment Option, and the income or losses of one generally has no effect on the investment performance of any other. Restrictions and other material information related to an investment in the variable Investment Option are contained in the prospectuses for each of the underlying portfolios. The underlying portfolios in the Separate Account are NOT publicly traded mutual funds and are NOT the same as other publicly traded mutual funds with very similar names. The portfolios are only available as separate account Investment Options in life insurance or variable annuity policies issued by insurance companies, or through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.

Even if the Investment Options and policies of some underlying portfolios available under the Policy may be very similar to the investment objectives and policies of publicly traded mutual funds that may be managed by the same investment adviser, the investment performance and results of the portfolios available under the Policy may vary significantly from the investment results of such other publicly traded mutual funds.

As a Policy Owner, you may have voting rights in the portfolios whose shares underlie the Subaccounts in which you invest. You will receive proxy material, and have access to reports, and other materials relating to each underlying portfolio in which you have voting rights. If you send us written voting instructions, we will follow your instructions in voting the Portfolio shares attributable to your Policy. If you do not send us written instructions, we will vote those shares in the same proportions as we vote the shares for which we have received instructions from other Policy Owners. We will vote shares that the Company beneficially holds in the same proportions as we vote the shares for which we receive instructions from other Policy Owners, this is known as “proportionate voting”. As a result of proportionate voting, a small number of Policy Owners could determine the outcome of a shareholder vote. The underlying portfolios may not hold routine annual shareholder meetings.

There is one fixed interest rate option ("Fixed Account"), where we bear the investment risk. If your Policy Date is prior to January 1, 2022, we guarantee that you will earn a minimum interest rate that will yield at least 3.0% per year, compounded annually. If your Policy Date is on or after January 1, 2022, we guarantee that you will earn a minimum interest rate that will yield at least 1.0% per year, compounded annually. We may declare a higher current interest rate. However, you bear the risk that we will not credit more interest than will yield the minimum guaranteed rate per year for

the life of the Policy. The Company sets the interest rate which is not tied to a benchmark or other formula. You may obtain the current declared interest rate for the Fixed Account at no cost by calling 800-255-9678 or by sending an email request to ALICTD@ameritas.com.

We have sole discretion over how assets allocated to the Fixed Account are invested, and we bear the risk that those assets will perform better or worse than the amount of interest we have declared. Refer to the Policy for additional details regarding the Fixed Account.

The value of the Fixed Account, along with the value in the Separate Account variable Investment Options and the Loan Account, constitute the total Policy Value. Unlike value in the Separate Account variable Investment Options, there are no Mortality and Expense Risk Fees deducted from the Fixed Account. Transfers and Systematic Transfer Programs may be limited to the terms defined in the TRANSFERS and SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PROGRAMS sections under the GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY. Decreases in the Fixed Account value as a result of Transfer, Systematic Transfer Programs, partial withdrawals (including Advisory Fees), and Policy Loans, because they affect Policy Value, could result in reductions in the amount of benefit, or lead to lapse of the Policy and riders. Additional information regarding how the value of the Fixed Account is calculated may be found in the POLICY VALUE section under PREMIUMS.

The following repeats and adds to information provided in the FEE TABLE section where the amount of each charge is shown. Please review both prospectus sections, and the Policy, for information on charges. For those Policies issued on a unisex basis in certain states or in certain cases, gender-distinct rates do not apply. Certain charges expressly permit you to designate the Investment Options from which the charge is to be deducted. If there are insufficient funds in such a designated Investment Option, and for all other charges deducted from total Account Value, charges are deducted Pro-Rata from your selected Subaccount and Fixed Account Investment Options. Any current charge that is less than the applicable maximum may be increased subject to the guaranteed maximum charge.

The fees and expenses do not reflect any Advisory Fees paid to financial professionals from the Account Value or other assets owned by the Policy Owner; if those charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher.

Transaction FEES

Maximum Sales Charge Imposed On Premiums (Load)

The premium charge is deducted from each premium payment as it is processed (except if it is a premium that is transferred from another Company policy). The current amount of this charge is 2.0% and the maximum charge is 5.0%. This charge is subtracted from the premium received before the funds are applied to the selected Investment Options. Premium taxes are paid by the Company from this charge. The amount added to the selected Investment Options is referred to as the Net Premium.

Premium Taxes

Premium taxes are not a separate charge to you; they are paid by the Company from the Maximum Sales Charge Imposed on Premiums (Load).

Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load)

This Policy has no Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load).

Other Surrender Fees

Partial Withdrawal Charge

Upon a partial withdrawal from your Policy, we may assess a partial withdrawal charge. This fee will be deducted from the Investment Options and in the same allocation as your partial withdrawal allocation instruction; if that is not possible (due to insufficient value in one of the Investment Options you elect) or you have not given such instructions, we will deduct this fee on a Pro-Rata basis from balances in all Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. This helps cover our administrative costs for withdrawals from your Policy. Taxes and tax penalties may apply. We currently do not charge for early withdrawals but may in the future charge up to $50 for each partial withdrawal.

Wire Transfer Fee

We charge a $14 wire transfer fee if you request a wire transfer when requesting a Policy Loan, partial withdrawal or Surrender. The fee is deducted from the gross amount of the Policy Loan, partial withdrawal or Surrender.

Transfer Fees

We may charge a transfer fee for any transfer in excess of 15 transfers per Policy year. This fee may be deducted only from Policy Investment Options you designate; if that is not possible (due to insufficient value in an Investment Option you elect) or you have not provided such instructions, we will deduct this fee on a Pro-Rata basis from balances in all Subaccounts and the Fixed Account.

Illustration Fee

You may annually request, without charge, an illustration from us. Currently, there is no charge for additional illustrations. However, we reserve the right to charge the maximum fee of $50 for each additional illustration requested in the same Policy year.

PERIODIC CHARGES OTHER THAN ANNUAL PORTFOLIO COMPANY CHARGES

The following charges are deducted from Policy Value on each Policy Month date unless otherwise specified.

BASE POLICY CHARGE

Cost of Insurance Charge

The cost of insurance rate per $1,000 of Net Amount at Risk cannot exceed the guaranteed cost of insurance rate that is set forth in the Policy. The maximum cost of insurance each month can be determined by using the guaranteed cost of insurance rate in the formula for cost of insurance, below.

The cost of insurance charge is for providing insurance protection under the Policy. Because the cost of insurance charge depends upon several variables, the cost for each Policy can vary from month to month. The cost of insurance rate for the Specified Amount of insurance coverage varies by the Insured's gender, Issue Age, rate class, Specified Amount and the length of time the Policy has been in force. The cost of insurance rate for an increase in Specified Amount varies by the Insured's gender, age and rate class at the time of the increase, Specified Amount and the length of time the Policy has been in force since the increase. We may use current cost of insurance rates less than those shown in the Policy, and reserve the right to change them so long as they do not exceed the maximum rates shown in the Policy. Changes will apply equally to similarly situated Policy Owners and be based on changes in future expectations of factors such as investment earnings, mortality, persistency, and expenses. We expect a profit from this charge. Ask for a Policy illustration or see your Policy for the charge(s) applicable to you.

The Cost of Insurance each month equals:

The Net Amount at Risk in any month equals:

Mortality and Expense Risk Fees

The Mortality and Expense Risk Fees are for the mortality risks we assume – that Insureds may live for shorter periods of time than we estimate, and also compensates us for the Policy expense risks we assume. If this charge exceeds our actual costs to cover these risks, the excess goes to our General Account. Conversely, if this charge is not enough, we bear the additional expense, not you. See the FEE TABLE for the maximum charge. The current annual charge is 0.70% in years 1 through 15 and 0.10% thereafter. This charge is applied daily to Separate Account assets in determining the daily Accumulation Unit value of each Subaccount. We expect a profit from this charge.

Administrative Expenses

The administrative expense charge is deducted on each Monthly Date to partially compensate us for our costs in issuing and administering the Policy and operating the Separate Account. See the Fee Table for the maximum charge. The current monthly charges are as follows. We do not anticipate making a profit from these charges.

Monthly Specified Amount Charge

For certain rate classes and Issue Ages, the maximum cost of insurance rates and other Policy charges are insufficient to cover our costs in issuing and administering the Policy, operating the Separate Account and providing the benefits under the Policy. The Specified Amount charge partially compensates us for these costs. We do not anticipate making a profit from this charge. The maximum monthly Specified Amount charge, if any, is shown on your Policy schedule. Any increase in Specified Amount will result in an additional monthly Specified Amount charge, unless the applicable rate at the time of the increase is zero.

Accelerated Benefit for Terminal Illness Rider

This rider provides as much as 50% of the death benefit, up to $500,000 when the Insured is terminally ill and is anticipated to live less than one year. There is no annual cost for this rider. The payment of any accelerated benefit under this rider is subject to an administrative fee not to exceed 0.5% of the accelerated benefit. The current maximum administrative fee is $250. For additional information on this rider, see the OTHER BENEFITS UNDER THE POLICY section.

Paid-Up Insurance Benefit Endorsement

The benefit provided by this endorsement will keep your Policy from lapsing when you have a large outstanding Policy Loan Balance. We will deduct 3.5% of the Policy Value on the date you elect this benefit. For additional information on this rider, see the OTHER BENEFITS UNDER THE POLICY section.

Policy Loans

If you borrow from your Account Value, interest accrues on outstanding Policy Loan amounts. After five Policy years, a lower interest rate may be available for a portion of your Policy Loan. See the POLICY LOANS section for more information on applicable interest rates.

OPTIONAL BENEFIT CHARGES

The cost for any optional features you select (sometimes called Policy "Riders") is also deducted monthly from Policy Value. See the FEE TABLE for information about the costs of these features, and refer to OTHER BENEFITS UNDER THE POLICY for descriptions of these features. Optional features may not be available in all states.

DISTRIBUTION COMPENSATION

We and/or an affiliate may pay cash compensation from our own resources pursuant to marketing and education arrangements we have in place with broker-dealers and their marketing organizations. We may provide up to 25% of first year target premium and 1% of premiums above that amount paid in the first Policy year for such marketing and education services, pursuant to these arrangements. We do not pay commissions to these broker-dealers pursuant to a selling agreement. You may ask your financial professional how he/she will personally be compensated for the transaction.

PORTFOLIO COMPANY CHARGES

Each Subaccount's underlying portfolio has investment advisory expenses. These expenses, as of the end of each portfolio's last fiscal year, are stated in this prospectus' APPENDIX A and described in more detail in each fund's prospectus. A portfolio's charges and expenses are not deducted from your Account Value. Instead, they are reflected in the daily value of portfolio shares which, in turn, will affect the daily Accumulation Unit value of the Subaccounts. These charges and expenses help to pay the portfolio's investment adviser and operating expenses.

THE PARTIES

Insured

The Insured is the person upon whose life this Policy is issued. This individual's personal information determines the cost of the life insurance coverage. The Owner also may be the Insured.

Owner

The Owner (also referred to as Policy Owner) is the person(s) or legal entity who may exercise all rights and privileges under the Policy. If there are joint Owners, the signatures of both Owners are needed to exercise rights under the Policy. If the Policy has been absolutely assigned, the assignee is the Owner. A collateral assignee is not the Owner.

Beneficiary

The Beneficiary will receive the death benefit proceeds when the Insured dies. You name the primary Beneficiary and any contingent beneficiaries in your application. If no primary Beneficiary is living when the Insured dies, we will pay to the contingent Beneficiary. If no contingent Beneficiary is living when the Insured dies, we will pay you or your estate. Unless otherwise provided, if any Beneficiary dies within 30 days after the Insured dies as the result of a common disaster, we will pay the death benefit proceeds as if that Beneficiary died first.

Unless your Beneficiary designation provides otherwise, we will follow these rules:

You may change your Beneficiary at any time while the Insured is living by sending Written Notice to us. We must approve any change. If approved, the change will be effective as of the date you signed the Written Notice. We will not be liable for any payments we make or actions we take before the change is approved.

Minor Owner or Beneficiary

Generally, a minor may not own the Policy solely in the minor's name and cannot receive payments directly as a Policy Beneficiary. In most states parental status does not automatically give parents the power to provide an adequate release to us to make beneficiary payments to the parent for the minor's benefit. A minor can "own" a Policy through the trustee of a trust established for the minor's benefit, or through the minor's named and court appointed guardian, who owns the Policy in his or her capacity as trustee or guardian. Where a minor is a named Beneficiary, we may be able to pay the minor's beneficiary payments to the minor's trustee or guardian. Some States allow us to make such payments up to a limited amount directly to parents. Parents seeking to have a minor's interest made payable to them for the minor's benefit are encouraged to check with their local court to determine the process to claim proceeds on behalf of the minor; it is often a very simple process that can be accomplished without the assistance of an attorney. If there is no adult representative able to give us an adequate release for payment of the minor's beneficiary interest, we will retain the minor's interest on deposit until the minor attains the age of majority.

State Variations

Certain features of your Policy may be different than the features described in the prospectus if your Policy is issued in the state or district described below. Further variations may arise; the variations are subject to change without notice.

Allocating Premium

You may allocate your premiums among the variable Investment Options (the Subaccounts) and the Fixed Account fixed interest rate option. Initial allocations in your Policy application will be used for additional premiums until you change your allocation instructions.

Prior to the Right to Examine Transfer Date, we will hold your initial Net Premium and any additional Net Premiums in the money market subaccount. On the Right to Examine Transfer Date, we will invest your Account Value, which will include investment performance results, in the Investment Options pursuant to your application allocation instructions. If, by the Right to Examine Transfer Date, you decide to cancel your Policy, we will refund the premiums paid minus Policy Loan Balance and partial withdrawals.

Until your Policy is issued, premium payments received by us are held in our General Account and are credited with interest at a rate we determine.

TRANSFERS

The Policy is designed for long-term investment. Excessive transfers such as those triggered by market timing services or other large or frequent transfers could harm other Policy Owners by having a detrimental effect on investment portfolio management. In addition to the right of each Portfolio to impose redemption fees on short-term trading, we reserve the right to reject any specific premium allocation or transfer request, if in the judgment of a Subaccount portfolio fund advisor, a Subaccount portfolio would be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objectives and policies, or if Policy Owners would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.

We consider any transfer of money out of a Subaccount within 60 days of a purchase to be evidence of possible market timing. We will not execute such a trade until we provide the underlying portfolio’s investment adviser with information about it for an opportunity to evaluate the transfer pursuant to the investment adviser's own standards, as stated in the Subaccount's underlying portfolio prospectus. Ultimately the portfolio's investment adviser has the authority to make the determination whether or not to accept a transfer.

Subject to restrictions during the Right to Examine Transfer Date, you may transfer Account Value from one Subaccount to another, from the Separate Account to the Fixed Account, or from the Fixed Account to any Subaccount, subject to these rules:

Transfer Rules:

Omnibus Orders

Purchase and redemption orders received by the portfolios generally are "omnibus" orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans and separate accounts funding variable insurance products. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and individual owners of variable insurance products. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the ability of the portfolios to apply their respective disruptive trading policies and procedures. We cannot guarantee that the portfolios will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans or other insurance companies that may invest in the portfolios. These other insurance companies are responsible for their own policies and procedures regarding frequent transfer activity. If their policies and procedures fail to successfully discourage harmful transfer activity, it will affect other owners of portfolio shares, as well as the owners of all variable life insurance or variable annuity contracts, including ours, whose variable Investment Options correspond to the affected portfolios. In addition, if a portfolio believes that an omnibus order that we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from Owners engaged in disruptive trading, the portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby delay or prevent us from implementing your request.

Time Period for Special Transfer

At any time within 24 months of the Policy Date, you may request a transfer of the entire Account Value in the Subaccounts to the Fixed Account without incurring a transfer charge.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Where permitted and subject to our rules (including those Transfer Rules above regarding rejection of a transfer request), we may accept your authorization to have a third party (such as your sales representative or someone else you name) exercise transfers or investment allocations on your behalf. Third-party transfers and allocations are subject to the same rules as all other transfers and allocations. You can make this election on the application or by sending us Written Notice on a form provided by us. Please note that any person or entity you authorize to make transfers or allocations on your behalf, including any investment advisory, asset allocation, money management or timing service, does so independently from any agency relationship they may have with us for the sale of the Policies. They are accountable to you alone for such transfers or allocations. We are not responsible for such transfers or allocations on your behalf, or recommendations to you, by such third-party services. You should be aware that charges charged by such third parties for their service are separate from and in addition to charges paid under the Policy.

Third Party Traders

We reserve the right to restrict transfers by any firm or any other third party authorized to initiate transfers on behalf of multiple Policy Owners if we determine such third party trader is engaging in a pattern of transfers that may disadvantage Policy Owners. In making this determination, we may, among other things:

We will notify affected Policy Owners before we limit transfers, modify transfer procedures or refuse to complete a transfer. Transfers made pursuant to participation in a dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, or earnings sweep program are not subject to these rules. See the sections of the prospectus describing those programs for the rules of each program.

SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PROGRAMS

Transfers under any systematic transfer program do count toward the 15 free transfer limit. We reserve the right to alter or terminate any systematic transfer program upon thirty days advance Written Notice. Only one systematic transfer program may be utilized at a time.

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to automatically transfer, on a periodic basis, a set dollar amount or percentage from the money market subaccount or the Fixed Account to any other Subaccount(s) or the Fixed Account. Requested percentages are converted to a dollar amount. You can begin Dollar Cost Averaging when you purchase the Policy or later. You can increase or decrease the amount or percentage of transfers or discontinue the program at any time. Dollar Cost Averaging is intended to limit loss by resulting in the purchase of more Accumulation Units when an underlying portfolio company's value is low, and fewer units when its value is high. However, there is no guarantee that such a program will result in a higher Account Value, protect against a loss, or otherwise achieve your investment goals.

Dollar Cost Averaging Rules:

Portfolio Rebalancing Program

The Portfolio Rebalancing program allows you to rebalance your Account Value among designated Subaccounts only as you instruct. You may change your rebalancing allocation instructions at any time. Any change will be effective when the next rebalancing occurs.

Portfolio Rebalancing Program Rules:

Earnings Sweep Program

The Earnings Sweep program allows you to rebalance your Account Value by automatically allocating earnings from your Subaccounts among designated Investment Options (Subaccounts or the Fixed Account) either based on your original Policy allocation of premiums or pursuant to new allocation instructions. You may change your Earnings Sweep program instructions at any time. Any change will be effective when the next sweep occurs.

Earnings Sweep Program Rules:

GENERAL ACCOUNT

The General Account includes all of our assets except those assets segregated in separate accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of the General Account, subject to applicable law. Until your Policy is issued, any premium payments we receive are held in our General Account. Obligations under the Policy that are funded by Ameritas Life's General Account include the Fixed Account, the Loan Account, and fixed payments including death benefit proceeds. These obligations of the General Account are subject to the claims of our creditors and the claims paying ability and financial strength of the Company. It is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.

POLICY OR REGISTRANT CHANGES

Policy Changes

We reserve the right to make such changes in the Policy as we deem necessary to assure it qualifies as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code and continues to provide the tax benefits of such qualification.

Adding, Deleting or Substituting Variable Investment Options

We do not control the Subaccounts' underlying portfolios, so we cannot guarantee that any of the portfolios will always be available.

We retain the right to change the investments of the Separate Account, and to eliminate the shares of any Subaccount's underlying portfolio and substitute shares of another series fund portfolio if the shares of an underlying portfolio are no longer available for investment or if, in our judgment, investment in the portfolio would be inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Separate Account. We may add new Separate Account underlying portfolios or eliminate existing underlying portfolios, when, in our sole discretion, conditions warrant a change. In all of these situations, we will receive any necessary SEC and state approval before making any such change.

Our Separate Account may be (i) operated as an investment management company or any other form permitted by law, (ii) deregistered with the SEC if registration is no longer required, or (iii) combined with one or more other separate accounts. To the extent permitted by law, we also may transfer assets of the Separate Account to other accounts. Where permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to remove, combine or add Subaccounts. Subaccounts may be closed to new or subsequent transfers or allocations. We will receive any necessary SEC and state approval before making any of these changes.

We will notify you of any changes to the variable Investment Options.

Resolving Material Conflicts – Underlying Investment Interests

In addition to serving as underlying portfolios to the Subaccounts, the portfolios are available to registered separate accounts of other insurance companies offering variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. We do not currently foresee any disadvantages to you resulting from the fund companies selling portfolio shares to fund other products. However, there is a possibility that a material conflict of interest may arise between Policy Owners and the owners of variable contracts issued by other companies whose values are allocated to one of the portfolios. Shares of some of the portfolios also may be sold to certain qualified pension and retirement plans qualifying under section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of Owners or owners of other contracts (including contracts issued by other companies), and such retirement plans or participants in such retirement plans. In the event of a material conflict, we will take any necessary steps to resolve the matter, including removing that portfolio as an underlying Investment Option of the Separate Account. The Board of Directors of each fund company will monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts that may arise and determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to those events or conflicts. See the accompanying prospectuses of the portfolios for more information. (Also see the TRANSFERS section, Omnibus Orders.)

Disruptive Trading Procedures

The Policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent trading in response to short-term fluctuations in the market. Such frequent trading, programmed transfers, or transfers that are large in relation to the total assets of a Subaccount’s underlying portfolio can disrupt management of a Subaccount’s underlying portfolio and raise expenses. This in turn can hurt the performance of an affected Subaccount and therefore hurt your Policy’s performance. The risks and harmful effects of disruptive trading include:

Policy Owners should be aware that we are contractually obligated to provide, at the portfolio investment adviser's request, Policy Owner transaction data relating to trading activities, including tax identification numbers and other identifying information contained in our records to assist in identifying any pattern or frequency of Subaccount transfers that may violate the portfolio's trading policies. We are obligated to follow each portfolio investment adviser's instructions regarding enforcement of their trading policy. On receipt of written instructions from a portfolio investment adviser, we will restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by Policy Owners identified as having engaged in transactions that violate the portfolio's trading policies. We are not authorized to grant exceptions to an underlying portfolio's trading policy. Please refer to each portfolio's prospectus for more information on its trading policies.

We reserve the right to reject or restrict, in our sole discretion, transfers initiated by a market timing organization or individual or other party authorized to give transfer instructions. We further reserve the right to impose restrictions on transfers that we determine, in our sole discretion, will disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other Policy owners. Restrictions may include changing, suspending or terminating telephone, online and fax transfer privileges. We will enforce any Subaccount underlying portfolio investment adviser's restrictions imposed upon transfers considered by the portfolio investment adviser to be disruptive. Our disruptive trading procedures may vary from Subaccount to Subaccount, and may also vary due to differences in operational systems and contract provisions. However, any Subaccount restrictions will be uniformly applied; we do not make special arrangements or grant exceptions or waivers to accommodate any persons or class of persons with regard to these procedures.

There is no assurance that the measures we take will be effective in preventing market timing or other excessive transfer activity. Our ability to detect and deter disruptive trading and to consistently apply our disruptive trading procedures may be limited by operational systems and technological limitations which may result in some Policy Owners being able to market time. Also, because other insurance companies and retirement plans may invest in Subaccount underlying portfolios, we cannot guarantee that Subaccount underlying portfolios will not suffer harm from disruptive trading within contracts issued by them. Certain Subaccount underlying portfolios, such as the Rydex Subaccounts, may engage in short-term trading and will have disclosed this practice in their portfolios' prospectuses.

Excessive Transfers

We reserve the right to restrict transfers if we determine you are engaging in a pattern of transfers that may disadvantage Policy Owners. In making this determination, we will consider, among other things:

POLICY APPLICATION AND ISSUANCE

The Insured must not be older than age 80 on the Insured's birthday nearest to the Policy Date. The minimum initial Specified Amount of life insurance is $100,000. We may reduce the initial Specified Amount for Policies issued in connection with group or sponsored arrangements. See the Special Arrangements section, below, for details. To purchase a Policy, you must submit an application, at least the Initial Premium (see below), and provide evidence of the proposed Insured's insurability satisfactory to us. Before accepting an application, we conduct underwriting to determine insurability. We reserve the right to reject any application or premium. If we issue a Policy, insurance coverage will be effective as of the Policy Date.

When you apply for your Policy, you will choose one of three death benefit options, which will be used to determine the death benefit.

Application in Good Order

All application questions must be answered, but particularly note these requirements:

Premium Requirements

Your premium checks should be made payable to "Ameritas Life Insurance Corp." We reserve the right to reject any premiums. We may postpone crediting payment of your initial premium made by personal check until the check has been honored by your bank. Payment by certified check, banker's draft or cashier's check will be promptly applied. Under our electronic fund transfer program, you may select a monthly payment schedule for us to automatically deduct premiums from your bank account or other sources.

Initial Premium

Additional Premiums

ACCOUNT VALUE

On your Policy's Issue Date, Account Value (or "Policy Value" or "Accumulation Value") equals your initial Net Premium (premium less the Percent of Premium Charge) less any Monthly Deduction since the Policy Date. On any Business Day thereafter, your total Account Value equals the sum of Account Value in the Separate Account variable Investment Options, the Fixed Account, and the Loan Account, plus any Net Premium received that Business Day, but not yet allocated.

Separate Account Value

Premiums or transfers allocated to Subaccounts are accounted for in Accumulation Units. The Account Value held in the Separate Account Subaccounts on any Business Day is determined by multiplying each Subaccount's Accumulation Unit value by the number of Accumulation Units held in the Subaccount. We will determine the value of the assets of each Subaccount at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each Business Day.

The unit value of each Subaccount reflects the investment performance of that Subaccount. The unit value of each Subaccount on any Business Day equals the unit value of the Subaccount on the previous Business Day multiplied by the net investment factor for the Subaccount. The net investment factor for each Subaccount can be determined on any Business Day by using the following calculation:

Because the net investment factor may be greater than, less than, or equal to 1, unit values may increase or

decrease from one Business Day to the next.

When transactions are made to or from a Subaccount, the actual dollar amounts are converted to Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units for a transaction is equal to the dollar amount of the transaction divided by the Accumulation Unit value on that Business Day. Each transaction described below will increase or decrease your Accumulation Units.

The number of Accumulation Units in a Subaccount will increase when:

The number of Accumulation Units in a Subaccount will decrease when:

Fixed Account Value

The Account Value of the Fixed Account on any Business Day equals:

Loan Account Value

The Account Value in the Loan Account on any Business Day equals:

(Also see Defined Terms for the definition of "Policy Loan.")

POLICY CHANGES

You may request to change your Specified Amount, death benefit option or riders. Any change to your Policy is effective only if by Written Notice on a form acceptable to us, and then only when recorded on our records. Information on how to contact us to determine what information is needed and where you can get various forms for Policy changes is shown on this prospectus' first two pages and last page.

When a Policy change is made, we will send you a revised Policy schedule that will show the updated coverage and any new charges.

A change of Owner may be made at any time by Written Notice, and will take effect on the date Written Notice is signed by you. Such change of Owner is subject to any action we take prior to the date we receive Written Notice when based on instructions we received from the Owner of record.

"Right to Examine" Period

You may cancel your Policy for a refund during your "right to examine" or "free look" period. This period expires 10 days after you receive your Policy (30 days after if it is a replacement for another policy), or 45 days after your application is signed, whichever is later. The "right to examine" period is longer in some states, ranging from 15 to 30 days. If you decide to cancel the Policy, you must return it by mail or delivery to the home office or to the Ameritas Life selling representative by the date the "right to examine" period expires. Your Policy will be void from the beginning. We will refund the premiums paid minus Policy Loan Balance and partial withdrawals, unless otherwise required by state law.

Prior to the Right to Examine Transfer Date, we will allocate your initial Net Premium and any additional Net Premiums to a money market subaccount. On the Right to Examine Transfer Date, we will reallocate your Account Value according to the premium allocation You selected on the application. We will allocate Net Premiums paid or after the Right to Examine Transfer Date, according to the premium allocation in effect on the date we receive the premium.

Optional Features

Subject to certain requirements, one or more of the optional insurance benefits described in OTHER BENEFITS UNDER THE POLICY may be added to your Policy by rider. The cost of any optional insurance benefit will be deducted monthly from Account Value as stated in this prospectus' CHARGES section.

Nonparticipating

The Policy is nonparticipating. No dividends will be paid under the Policy.

Special Arrangements

Where permitted by state regulation, we may make Policies available through various special arrangements. We may reduce or waive the premium charge and/or the monthly administrative charge under Policies purchased by:

Any interested person can contact our Service Center concerning the availability of special arrangements. In addition, in the future, we may reduce or waive the premium charge if a Policy is purchased by the Owner of another policy we issued, and/or through transfer or exchange from a life insurance policy we issued, each in accordance with rules we establish and apply on a uniform basis. Reductions or waivers of the premium charge and the monthly administrative charge reflect the reduced sales and administrative effort associated with Policies sold to the Owners specified.

We may issue Policies to group or sponsored arrangements, as well as on an individual basis. A "group arrangement" includes a program under which a trustee, employer or similar entity purchases Policies covering a group of individuals. An example of such an arrangement is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. A "sponsored arrangement" includes but is not limited to a program under which an employer permits group solicitation of its employees or an association permits group solicitation of its members for the purchase of Policies on an individual basis. The Policies may not be available in connection with group or sponsored arrangements in all states.

For Policies issued in connection with group or sponsored arrangements, we may reduce or waive one or more of the following charges: the premium charge; the monthly charge for the cost of insurance; rider charges; monthly administrative charges; daily risk charges (for mortality and expense risk); and/or the transfer charge. We may also reduce the minimum Specified Amount per Policy. In addition, the interest rate credited on amounts taken from the Subaccounts as a result of a Policy Loan may be increased for these Policies. We will waive or reduce these charges as described below and according to our rules in effect when the Policy application is approved.

To qualify for a waiver or reduction, a group or sponsored arrangement must satisfy certain criteria, for example, size of the group, or number of years in existence. Generally, the sales contacts and effort, administrative costs, insurance cost, and mortality and expense risk per Policy may vary based on such factors as the size of the group or sponsored arrangement, its stability, the purposes for which the Policies are purchased, and certain characteristics of its members (including underwriting-related factors that we determine result in lower anticipated expenses of providing insurance coverage, and/or lower mortality and expense risk, under Policies sold to members of the group or through the sponsored arrangement). The amount of any reduction and the criteria for qualification will reflect the reduced sales and administrative effort resulting from sales to qualifying group or sponsored arrangements, and/or the reduced anticipated cost of insurance or mortality and expense risk under such Policies. We may modify from time to time the amount or availability of any charge reduction or waiver, or the criteria for qualification.

Charge reductions or waivers will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the affected Owners and all other owners of Policies funded by the Separate Account.

The principal purpose of the Policy is to provide a death benefit upon the Insured's death, but before then you may also borrow against the Policy's Cash Surrender Value, take a partial withdrawal, or fully Surrender it for its Cash Surrender Value. Tax penalties may apply to amounts taken out of your Policy. The Policy will terminate and all insurance will stop when the Insured dies.

DEATH BENEFIT

Upon the Insured's death, we will pay to the Policy Beneficiary:

We will pay the death benefit proceeds after we receive satisfactory proof that the Insured died while the Policy was in force and other proof that we may require in order to investigate the claim. We will pay the death benefit proceeds in a lump-sum payment to the Beneficiary. We will include interest from the Insured's date of death to the payment date. The rate of interest will be at least the amount required by law. Full payment of the death benefit proceeds discharges us from any and all claims.

Death Benefit Options

When you apply for your Policy, you will choose one of the three death benefit options, which will be used to determine the death benefit. Your Policy Value and death benefit may vary based on the performance of the variable Investment Options you select. If we issue a Policy, insurance coverage will be effective as of the Policy Date.

Death Benefit Option A

Under Option A, the death benefit is the greater of:

Death Benefit Option B

Under Option B, the death benefit is the greater of:

Death Benefit Option C

Under Option C, the death benefit is the greater of:

If you select Option C and the sum of partial withdrawals taken is greater than the sum of premiums paid, the death benefit may be less than the Specified Amount.

When you apply for your Policy, you will also choose one of two alternative tests to evaluate whether your Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code. Once you have chosen a test for tax qualification, you cannot change it. If you choose the guideline premium test ("GPT"), total premium payments may not exceed the guideline premium payment limitations for life insurance set forth under the Internal Revenue Code. If you choose the cash value accumulation test ("CVAT"), the guideline premium limitations do not apply. The Corridor Factors are shown in the Policy schedule.

Changes in Death Benefit Option

You select the death benefit option when you apply for the Policy. You also may change the death benefit option after the first Policy year, as discussed below.

Changes in Death Benefit Option Rules

Changes in Specified Amount

The initial Specified Amount is set at the time we issue your Policy. The Specified Amount may change from time to time, as discussed below. A change in Specified Amount could have federal tax consequences (See the TAX MATTERS section).

On or after one year from the Policy Date, you may change the current Specified Amount of insurance coverage by Written Notice on a form provided by us, and subject to our approval.

INCREASE in Coverage Rules

DECREASE in Coverage Rules

No Maturity Date

This Policy does not have a maturity date. If the Insured is still living at Attained Age 121, all Monthly Deductions will cease, and we will not accept any additional premiums except for amounts required to keep the policy in force. New Policy Loans and Policy Loan repayments can continue to be made and the Policy Loan Balance will continue to accrue interest. The death benefit option will be changed to Option A, and partial withdrawals are not permitted after Attained Age 121. You may Surrender your policy if you do not want coverage to continue past Attained Age 121. Continuing coverage beyond attained age 121 may disqualify the insurance for favorable tax treatment. You should consult a tax advisor before you choose to continue your Policy after Attained Age 121.

Payment of Policy Proceeds

A primary function of a life insurance policy is to provide payment of Policy proceeds. Policy proceeds are payable upon the Insured's death, a full Surrender or partial withdrawal of Account Value, or upon any other benefit where certain proceeds are payable. We will make payment in a lump sum to the Beneficiary.

Rules for Payment of Policy Proceeds

Payment of Death Benefit Proceeds

We may pay death benefit proceeds in a lump sum by establishing an interest bearing account for the Beneficiary, in the amount of the death benefit proceeds payable. The same interest rate schedule and other account terms will apply to all Beneficiary accounts in place at any given time. We will send the Beneficiary a checkbook within seven days after we receive all the required documents, and the Beneficiary will have immediate access to the account simply by writing a check for all or any part of the amount of the death benefit proceeds payable. The account is part of our General Account. It is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. As part of our General Account, it is subject to the claims of our creditors. We receive a benefit from all amounts left in the General Account.

Misstatement of Age or Gender

If an Insured's age or gender has been misstated on the application, an adjustment will be made to reflect the correct age and gender. If the misstatement is discovered at death, the Policy death benefit and any additional benefits provided will be adjusted based on what the cost of insurance rate as of the most recent Monthly Date would have purchased at the Insured's correct age and gender. If the misstatement is discovered prior to death, the Cash Surrender Value will be adjusted, based on the Insured's correct age and gender, to reflect the expense charges, and cost of insurance rates from the Policy Date.

Suicide

We will terminate the Policy without payment of the death benefit and give back the premiums received, less any partial withdrawals and Policy Loan Balance, if the Insured, while sane or insane, commits suicide within two years (one year in North Dakota) after the date the Policy was issued. We will pay only the Monthly Deductions for an increase in Specified Amount of insurance if the Insured, while sane or insane, commits suicide within two years (one year in North Dakota) after the effective date of any increase. Riders to the Policy may have separate suicide provisions.

RELIANCE

The Policy was issued based on the answers in the application and supplemental applications. We have assumed all such answers to be true and complete. If any are not, we may, subject to the Incontestability provision, have the right to void the Policy and give back premiums paid, minus any Policy Loan balance and any partial withdrawals.

Incontestability

We will not contest the Policy, in the absence of fraud, after it has been in force while the Insured is alive for two years from the Issue Date, nor will we contest any increased benefits later than two years after the effective date of such increase. If you did not request the increase or if evidence of insurability was not required, we will not contest the increase. Increased benefits, for the purposes of this provision, shall include any favorable Policy changes you request. If the Policy is reinstated, the contestable period will start over again beginning on the reinstatement date, but only for statements made in the application for reinstatement. Riders to the Policy may have separate incontestability provisions.

Assignment

You may assign your Policy by giving Written Notice. We will not be responsible for the validity or tax consequences of an assignment. Unless you specify otherwise, the assignment will take effect on the date the Written Notice was signed by you. No assignment will be binding on us until we receive Written Notice. We will not be liable for any payments we make or actions we take before we receive Written Notice of an assignment. Your rights, and the rights of any Beneficiary or payee, will be subject to any assignment. An assignment is subject to any Policy Loan Balance.

UNCLAIMED DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS

Every state has unclaimed property laws that generally declare life insurance policies to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the date any death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, and after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the Beneficiary of the death benefit, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property investment division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the Beneficiary or the Policy Owner last resided, as shown on our books and records. (“Escheatment” is the formal, legal name for this process.) However, the state is obligated to pay the death benefit (without interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation and within certain mandated periods. To prevent your Policy’s death benefit from being paid to the state’s abandoned or unclaimed property office, it is important that you update your Beneficiary designation—including complete names and complete address—if and as they change.

In addition to the standard death benefit(s) associated with your Policy, other standard and/or optional benefits may be available to you. The following table(s) summarize information about those benefits. Information about the fees associated with each benefit included in the table(s) may be found in the FEE TABLE.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY

The examples listed below are hypothetical assumptions and illustrations with the purpose of explaining the operation of the benefits. Actual results will vary.

Accelerated Benefit Rider for Terminal Illness (Standard)

We will pay an accelerated benefit if the Insured is terminally ill subject to the provisions of this rider. The accelerated benefit that you may receive is 50% of the eligible amount. The eligible amount includes the Specified Amount or face amount of the policy, any paid-up additions, and any term insurance rider on the same Insured as the policy. The eligible amount does not include accidental death benefit riders, any coverage that is within its two-year contestable period, nor any coverage within two years of its maturity or expiration date.

We will pay the accelerated benefit as a lump sum. We may make payments other than as a lump sum at your request subject to our approval. The accelerated benefit will first be used to repay any Policy Loan Balance. We will treat the accelerated benefit plus accrued interest as a lien against the death benefit proceeds. Your access to any Cash Surrender Value of this Policy through Policy Loans and partial withdrawals/Surrenders is limited to the excess of the Cash Surrender Value over the amount of the lien. We will reduce death benefit proceeds by the amount of the lien on the date of death.

Payment of an accelerated benefit is subject to the following conditions:

After payment of the accelerated benefit, we will pay the minimum premium necessary to keep the basic Policy and any attached riders in force. The total of any premiums paid by us will be assigned to us, made a part of the lien and deducted from the death benefit proceeds.

We will charge interest on the lien. The interest accrues daily at the Policy Loan interest rate currently in effect. If no Policy Loan interest rate is stated, interest accrues daily at an effective annual interest rate of 8%.

The payment of any accelerated benefit under this rider is subject to the following:

Example: An Insured is diagnosed with a terminal illness with a certified life expectancy of 12 months or less. This rider gives the Insured the right to accelerate the lesser of 50% or $500,000 of the Specified Amount which will be held as an interest-accruing lien against the remaining death benefit. If the client has a $1 million death benefit, they would be able to accelerate up to $500,000.

Advisory Fee Endorsement (Standard)

You may have an independent agreement between you and a registered investment advisor. You may have Advisory Fees deducted from your Policy, subject to the terms you and your advisor have mutually agreed upon, to pay for management and advice by your registered investment advisor pertaining to this Policy. Advisory Fees will not exceed 1.5% of the Account Value on an annualized basis and are not subject to a withdrawal charge. There is no minimum Advisory Fee amount. The maximum advisory fee amount is the lesser of:

Advisor fees result in (1) cancellation of the Accumulation Units from each applicable Subaccount; and (2) a reduction of the Account Value in the Fixed Account by the amount of the Advisory fee taken from the Fixed Account. You may tell us how to deduct the Advisory Fee from the Investment Options, provided that the remaining Account Value in each Subaccount is not less than the minimum subaccount balance shown on the Policy schedule. If you do not, we will deduct it Pro-Rata.

These Advisory Fees may be considered withdrawals from the Policy for tax purposes. The Specified Amount will not be reduced by the amount of these Advisory Fees. Advisory Fees may not be taken after the Insured reaches Attained Age 121 or if the Policy is in a paid-up status.

You may authorize your financial professional to make withdrawals to pay advisory fees from your Policy by submitting the advisory fee authorization. This authorization is used to authorize your financial professional to deduct advisory fees directly from your Policy, change or terminate any prior advisory fee authorization, and to change the financial professional that services your Policy. Thereafter, your financial professional must submit a written request for each one-time withdrawal to pay advisory fees or to establish or change a systematic withdrawal program to pay advisory fees, if available. Any systematic withdrawal program will continue until you terminate it. Your authorized withdrawals to pay advisory fees will be noted on your confirmation statements and/or your quarterly statements, as well as on your annual statements. Your financial professional can have the fee deducted on an annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly (for systematic withdrawal programs only) basis. Work with your financial professional to determine which options work for you.

Example: A Policy Owner has a relationship with a registered investment advisor who manages a portion of his/her assets. A portion of those assets are held as part of the VUL policy. The client has a compensation agreement with the advisor, and this endorsement allows the Policy Owner to use funds from the policy to compensate their advisor. The client may select the percentage of compensation as well as the mode as long as the total compensation does not exceed 1.5% per year. After filling out the appropriate forms as required by us, we will use funds from the policy to compensate the advisor. When the funds are withdrawn from the policy, there will be no surrender charges or withdrawal charges assessed, and the withdrawals will not impact the specified amount of the policy.

Paid-Up Life Insurance Benefit Endorsement (Standard)

The benefit provided by this endorsement will keep your Policy from lapsing when you have a large outstanding Policy Loan Balance. When the conditions specified below are met, you may elect this benefit, which will provide paid-up life insurance. Once you have elected this benefit, your Policy will not lapse.

You may elect this benefit only if the following requirements are met:

Electing this benefit will change your Policy as follows:

Electing the benefit provided by this endorsement may have adverse tax consequences. The Internal Revenue Service has not ruled on the use of this endorsement. We strongly urge you to consult legal counsel and your personal tax adviser before electing this benefit.

Example: An Insured with attained age 80 is in their 20^th Policy year. The Policy Loan Balance is between 92.5% and 96% of the Policy Value, and the Policy Value is greater than the Specified Amount. The Insured chooses to elect the Paid-Up Insurance Benefit Endorsement. A charge of 3.5% of the Policy Value is taken from the Policy, the Specified Amount is set to 105% of the remaining Policy Value. The death benefit option is changed to death benefit Option A, no further premiums are accepted, all riders are terminated, monthly deductions cease, and no further changes to the Policy are allowed. Upon death, the Beneficiary receives the death benefit minus any outstanding Policy Loan Balance.

Dollar Cost Averaging Program (Standard)

Dollar Cost Averaging allows you to automatically transfer, on a periodic basis, a set dollar amount or percentage from the money market subaccount or the Fixed Account to any other Subaccount(s) or the Fixed Account. Requested percentages are converted to a dollar amount. You can begin Dollar Cost Averaging when you purchase the Policy or later. You can increase or decrease the amount or percentage of transfers or discontinue the program at any time. We must receive notice of your election and any changed instruction – either Written Notice or by telephone transaction instruction. Dollar Cost Averaging is intended to limit loss by resulting in the purchase of more Accumulation Units when an underlying portfolio company's value is low, and fewer units when its value is high. However, there is no guarantee that such a program will result in a higher Account Value, protect against a loss, or otherwise achieve your investment goals. You can limit the number of transfers to be made, in which case the program will end when that number has been made. Otherwise, the program will terminate when the amount remaining in the money market subaccount or the Fixed Account is less than $100. For more information regarding Dollar Cost Averaging rules, see the SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PROGRAMS – Dollar Cost Averaging Program under the GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY section.

Portfolio Rebalancing Program (Standard)

The Portfolio Rebalancing program allows you to rebalance your Account Value among designated Subaccounts only as you instruct. You must request the rebalancing program, give us your rebalancing instructions, or request to end this program either by Written Notice or by telephone transaction instruction. You may change your rebalancing allocation instructions at any time. Any change will be effective when the next rebalancing occurs. For more information regarding Portfolio Rebalancing Program rules, see the SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PROGRAMS – Portfolio Rebalancing Program under the GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY section.

Earnings Sweep Program (Standard)

The Earnings Sweep program allows you to rebalance your Account Value by automatically allocating earnings from your Subaccounts among designated Investment Options (Subaccounts or the Fixed Account) either based on your original Policy allocation of premiums or pursuant to new allocation instructions. You must request the Earnings Sweep program, give us your allocation instructions, or request to end this program either by Written Notice or by telephone transaction instruction. You may change your Earnings Sweep program instructions at any time. Any change will be effective when the next sweep occurs. For more information regarding the Earnings Sweep Program rules, see the SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PROGRAMS – Earnings Sweep Program under the GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY section.

Policy Loans (Standard)

You may obtain a Policy Loan secured by the Cash Surrender Value of your Policy. Any Policy Loan transaction will permanently affect your Account Value. For additional information regarding Policy Loans, refer to the POLICY LOANS section.

Children's Insurance Rider (Optional)

This rider insures each child of the Insured if the child is:

This rider does not insure any child less than 15 days old nor after the child’s 25^th birthday.

We will pay the benefit amount under this rider as soon as we receive satisfactory proof that an insured child died while this rider is in force. Unless otherwise provided, the benefit will be paid to:

If the Insured dies (except by suicide within two years of the effective date of this rider), existing insurance on each insured child will be continued at no cost until the child’s 25^th birthday.

Conversion will be allowed as provided by this rider. If the Insured commits suicide during the first two years of the Policy, there is a 31-day period for conversion for each insured child.

You may convert the insurance on each insured child, without evidence of insurability, no later than 31 days after the insured child’s 25^th birthday. The face amount of the new policy must be at least $25,000. You must give us Written Notice. Before the insured child’s 25^th birthday, the face amount of the new policy may not exceed the benefit amount of the rider on the date of conversion. On or after the insured child’s 25^th birthday, the face amount of the new policy may not exceed five times the benefit amount of the rider on the date of conversion.

The new policy may be any permanent plan issued by us on the date of conversion. The date of conversion will be the Monthly Date following Written Notice to us. The Policy Date of the new policy will be the date of conversion. Insurance under this rider on that insured child will terminate on the date of conversion. The incontestability and suicide provisions of the new policy shall be measured from the effective date of this rider up to the benefit amount of this rider on the date of conversion. For any additional face amount, the incontestability and suicide provisions will run from the effective date of the new policy.

In the absence of fraud, we will not contest this rider with respect to each insured child after the benefit amount on that child has been in force during that child’s life for two years. Our total liability will be to return the monthly rider charges paid while the insurance on that child’s life was in force. We will not contest any increased benefit amount later than two years after its effective date. Our total liability for that increase will be to return the monthly rider charges for that increase paid while the increase was in force for that child. If this rider is reinstated, the incontestable period will start over again beginning on the reinstatement date, but only for statements made in the application for reinstatement.

If any insured child under this rider commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years after the date that child’s insurance starts, our total liability will be to return the monthly rider charges paid while the insurance on that child was in force. If any insured child under this rider commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years after the effective date for an increase in the benefit amount, our total liability for that increase will be to return the monthly rider charges paid while the increase was in force for that child.

This rider will terminate:

You may put this rider back in force by Written Notice to us if:

Example: A Policy Owner has this rider attached to their Policy covering their 10-year-old child for an amount of $25,000. That child then dies. A $25,000 death benefit would be paid for the death of the child. This rider is no longer in force after the child's 25^th birthday.

Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider (Optional)

We will waive the Monthly Deduction for the Policy and riders stated on the Policy schedule, upon receipt of satisfactory proof that:

The benefit will begin on the Monthly Date after the start of the six-month period. If total disability begins:

As used in this rider, "age 60," "age 63," and "age 65" mean the annual date that is nearest the Insured's 60^th, 63^rd and 65^th birthdays, respectively.

Total disability is a disability which

Total disability is also the total and irrevocable loss, by the Insured, of:

Written Notice and satisfactory proof of the Insured's total disability must be given to us:

Failure to give Written Notice and satisfactory proof within the time required will not invalidate a claim if the Written Notice and satisfactory proof were given as soon as was reasonably possible; however, no amount due more than one year prior to receipt of satisfactory proof by us will be paid.

Satisfactory proof of continuance of total disability must be given to us as often as we reasonably require. After the first two years of continuous total disability, satisfactory proof will not be required more than once a year. Examination of the Insured at our expense by physicians approved by us may be required as a part of any satisfactory proof. If satisfactory proof is not given to us when required, no further Monthly Deductions will be waived.

No benefit will be paid if disability results from or is contributed to by:

This rider will terminate:

Example: The owner of a Policy with this rider suffers a covered disability at age 45. After six months of disability, all monthly deductions from the Policy will be waived. The Insured then recovers at age 48, and monthly deductions under the Policy are resumed.

Cash Surrender

While the Insured is alive, you may terminate the Policy for its Cash Surrender Value. After a full Surrender, all your rights in the Policy end, and you may not reinstate the Policy.

Cash Surrender Rules

Partial Withdrawal

While the Insured is alive, you may withdraw part of the Account Value. The amount requested and any partial withdrawal charge will usually be deducted from the Account Value on the date we receive your request if received before 3 p.m. Central Time.

We may deduct a partial withdrawal fee, which will not exceed the maximum partial withdrawal fee of $50.

If death benefit Option A (described above) is in effect, then the Specified Amount will be reduced by the partial withdrawal amount plus any fee.

If death benefit Option B or Option C (described above) is in effect, the Account Value will be reduced by the amount of the partial withdrawal, but the Specified Amount of insurance coverage will not change.

If death benefit Option C (described above) is in effect and the sum of partial withdrawals taken is greater than the sum of premiums paid, the death benefit may be less than the Specified Amount.

Partial Withdrawal Rules

Advisory Fee Withdrawals

If you elect to pay the Advisory Fees from the Account Value, you have done so pursuant to a separate agreement between yourself and your financial professional. Ameritas Life has not made any independent investigation of these financial professionals, and is not endorsing such services. Ameritas Life will, pursuant to an advisory fee authorization signed by you, process a partial withdrawal from the value of your Policy to pay for the services of your financial professional. The advisory fees are separate from and in addition to the Policy and optional rider fees and expenses described in this Prospectus. Your financial professional will be solely responsible for the accuracy of any such advisory fee payment calculation as well as the frequency or reasonableness of each withdrawal request to pay advisory fees. We have no duty to inquire into the amount of the Account Value submitted for withdrawal but we will follow instructions provided through the advisory fee authorization and ensure the amount requested is distributed and processed accurately. We will not allow or make an advisory fee withdrawal until we have a completed advisory fee authorization from the Policy Owner.

Withdrawals to pay advisory fees (regardless of percentage or amount withdrawn) will not reduce the Specified Amount. However, withdrawals to pay advisory fees will reduce the Account Value by the withdrawal amount. In some cases, such as when the Policy's death benefit is driven by the Corridor Factor, withdrawing part of the Account Value may result in a death benefit reduction that is larger than the amount of the partial withdrawal. Withdrawals used to pay Advisory Fees are subject to the same restrictions and limitations for partial withdrawals generally, as described above. For more information regarding Advisory Fees, see the Advisory Fee Endorsement section under OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY.

Delay of Payments or Transfers

We will usually pay any amounts from the Separate Account requested as a partial withdrawal or Surrender within seven days after we receive your Written Notice. We can postpone such payments or any transfers out of a Subaccount if:

The applicable rules of the SEC will govern as to whether these conditions exist.

We may defer payments of a Policy Loan, partial withdrawal or full Surrender from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date we receive your Written Notice requesting the Policy Loan, withdrawal or Surrender.

For information regarding your "right to examine" and "free look," see "Right to Examine" Period under the PREMIUMS section and STATE VARIATIONS under the GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY section.

You may obtain a Policy Loan secured by the Cash Surrender Value of your Policy. Any Policy Loan transaction will permanently affect your Account Value. We may require you to sign a Policy Loan agreement. You may ask your sales representative or us to provide illustrations giving examples of how a Policy Loan might affect your Account Value, Cash Surrender Value and death benefit.

Surrender or lapse of a Policy while a Policy Loan is outstanding could result in significant tax consequences. See the discussion at Tax Treatment of Policy Loans and Other Distributions.

The following chart applies to Policies dated prior to January 1, 2022.

The following chart applies to Policies dated on or after January 1, 2022.

Policy Loan Rules

A Policy Loan Balance, whether or not repaid, will affect the Cash Surrender Value of your Policy over time. We will transfer all Policy Loan amounts from the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account to a Loan Account. The Loan Account does not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options or receive the potentially higher current interest rate credited to the Fixed Account.

Lapse and Grace Period

Lapse

Because Account Value can fluctuate depending upon the performance of your selected variable Investment Options, your Policy can lapse, even if you pay all Planned Periodic Premiums on time.

This Policy will lapse with no value when the Policy's Cash Surrender Value is not enough to cover any due but unpaid charges.

Grace Period

If the Cash Surrender Value on any Monthly Date is less than the Monthly Deduction for the next Policy month, you will have a 61-day grace period to make a premium payment to continue your Policy. The minimum premium to continue the Policy is the amount which will result in the Cash Surrender Value on the date the grace period began being equal to the current Monthly Deduction plus the next two Monthly Deductions. At the start of the grace period, we will mail a notice of the minimum premium necessary to keep the Policy in force to you at your current address on record with us and to any assignee on record. Insurance coverage continues during the grace period. If sufficient premium is not paid by the end of the grace period, the Policy will terminate without value as of the first day of the grace period. A death benefit will not be paid if the Policy has lapsed. If the Insured dies during the grace period, we will pay the death benefit proceeds.

Reinstatement

If the Policy lapses because a grace period ended without a sufficient payment being made, you may reinstate it within five years of the date of lapse, so long as the Insured is Attained Age 80 or less. To reinstate, we must receive:

(a) is the sum of all due and unpaid Monthly Deductions during the grace period;

(b) is the sum of Monthly Deductions for three months from the date of reinstatement;

(c) is the Account Value at the beginning of the grace period; and

(d) is one minus the premium charge.

The effective date of reinstatement will be the Monthly Date on or next following the date the reinstatement is approved.

The Account Value on the date of reinstatement will equal the Net Premium paid to reinstate the Policy; plus the Account Value at the beginning of the grace period; minus the sum of the due and unpaid Monthly Deductions during the grace period.

The Policy cannot be reinstated once it has been fully Surrendered.

The following is only general information about federal tax law and is not intended as tax advice to any individual. Tax laws affecting the Policy are complex, may change and are affected by your facts and circumstances. We cannot guarantee the tax treatment of the Policy or any transaction involving the Policy. You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these general rules and any applicable taxes will apply to you if you purchase a Policy.

Life Insurance Qualification; Tax Treatment of Death Benefit

The Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code") defines a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes. This definition can be met if an insurance contract satisfies either one of two tests. The Code and related regulations do not directly address the manner in which these tests should be applied to certain features of the Policy. Thus, there is some uncertainty about how those tests apply to the Policy.

Nevertheless, we believe the Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes, so that:

We reserve the right to make such changes in the Policy as we deem necessary to assure it qualifies as a life insurance contract under the Code and continues to provide the tax benefits of such qualification.

Modified Endowment Contracts. The Code establishes a class of life insurance contracts designated as modified endowment contracts. Distributions from a modified endowment contract are taxed under different rules, most notably distributions are treated as from income first (to the extent of any gain in the contract) then from cost basis. There are other differences related to modified endowment contracts, such as Policy Loans being treated as a distribution (see Tax Treatment of Policy Loans and Other Distributions below). The rules governing whether a Policy will be treated as a modified endowment contract are extremely complex. In general, a Policy is a modified endowment contract if the accumulated premium payments made at any time during the first seven Policy years exceed the sum of the net level premium payments which would have been paid on or before such time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment of seven level annual premiums. A Policy may also become a modified endowment contract because of a material change. The determination of whether a Policy is a modified endowment contract after a material change generally depends upon the relationship of the Policy's death benefit and Account Value at the time of such change and the additional premium payments made in the seven years following the material change. A Policy may also become a modified endowment contract if the death benefit is reduced.

A Policy issued in exchange for a modified endowment contract is also treated as a modified endowment contract. However, we believe that a Policy issued in exchange for a life insurance Policy that is not a modified endowment contract will generally not be treated as a modified endowment contract if the death benefit of the Policy is greater than or equal to the death benefit of the Policy being exchanged. The payment of any premiums at the time of or after the exchange may, however, cause the Policy to become a modified endowment contract. You may, of course, choose to not make additional payments in order to prevent a Policy from being treated as a modified endowment contract.

Special Considerations for Corporations and Employers

Premium paid by a business for a life insurance Policy is not deductible as a business expense or otherwise if the business is directly or indirectly a Beneficiary of the Policy. In 2006, Congress adopted new rules relating to Employer Owned Life Insurance. Any employer contemplating the purchase of a new life insurance contract or a change in an existing contract should observe the Employee Notice and Consent requirements to avoid the income taxation of the life insurance death benefits and consult a tax adviser regarding filing IRS Form 8925.

Tax Treatment of Policy Loans and Other Distributions

Upon a Surrender or lapse of the Policy, if the amount received plus any outstanding Policy Loan Balance exceeds the total cost basis in the Policy, the excess generally will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax, regardless of whether a Policy is or is not a modified endowment contract. However, the tax consequences of distributions from, and Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend on whether the Policy is classified as a modified endowment contract.

Distributions from Policies Classified as Modified Endowment Contracts are subject to the following tax rules:

Distributions from Policies Not Classified as Modified Endowment Contracts are generally treated as first recovering the cost basis in the Policy and then, only after the return of all such cost basis in the Policy, as distributing taxable income. An exception to this general rule occurs in the case of a decrease in the Policy's death benefit or any other change that reduces benefits under the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in a cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue complying with the Code's definition of life insurance. Such a cash distribution will be taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the Policy).

Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment contract are not treated as distributions. However, it is possible that reduced rate Policy Loans could be treated as distributions rather than loans.

Distributions (including upon Surrender and partial withdrawals) and Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified endowment contract are not subject to the 10% additional income tax rule. If a Policy is not now but later becomes a modified endowment contract, then any distributions made from the Policy within two years prior to the change will become taxable pursuant to modified endowment contract rules.

Other Policy Owner Tax Matters

Depending on the circumstances, the exchange of a Policy, a change in the Policy's death benefit option, a Policy Loan, a partial or full Surrender, a lapse, a change in ownership, or an assignment of the Policy may have federal income tax consequences. In addition, federal, state and local transfer and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions from a Policy depend on the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.

Interest paid on Policy Loans generally is not tax deductible.

Advisory Fee Endorsement. Paying Advisory Fees from the Policy may be considered a distribution and may have tax consequences. The Internal Revenue Service has not issued any generally applicable guidance on this. We strongly urge you to consult legal counsel and your personal tax adviser.

Aggregation of modified endowment contracts. Pre-death distributions (including a Policy Loan, partial withdrawal, collateral assignment or full Surrender) from a Policy that is treated as a modified endowment contract may require a special aggregation to determine the amount of income recognized on the Policy. If we or any of our affiliates issue more than one modified endowment contract to the same Policy Owner within any 12-month period, then for purposes of measuring the income on the Policy with respect to a distribution from any of those Policies, the income for all those Policies will be aggregated and attributed to that distribution.

Federal and state estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of proceeds under the Policy depend upon your or the Beneficiary's individual circumstances.

Diversification requirements. Investments of the Separate Account must be "adequately diversified" for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Code. Any failure to comply with diversification requirements could subject you to immediate taxation on the incremental increases in Account Value plus the cost of insurance protection for the year. However, we believe the Policy complies fully with such requirements.

Owner control. The Treasury Department stated that it anticipates the issuance of regulations or rulings prescribing the circumstances in which your control of the investments of the Separate Account may cause you, rather than us, to be treated as the owner of the assets in the Separate Account. For variable life policies to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the separate accounts supporting the Policy must be considered owned by the insurance company and not by the Policy Owner. If you are considered the Owner of the assets of the Separate Account, income and gains from the Separate Account would be included in your gross income.

The application of the investor control doctrine is subject to some uncertainty. The ownership rights under the Policy are similar to, but different in certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it determined that owners were not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have additional flexibility in allocating Policy premium and Account Value. These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of a Pro-Rata share of the assets of the Separate Account. In addition, we do not know what standards will be set forth in future regulations or rulings which the Treasury may issue. We therefore reserve the right to modify the Policy as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the Owner of the assets of the Separate Account.

Paid-Up Life Insurance Benefit Endorsement. Electing this benefit may have adverse tax consequences. The Internal Revenue Service has not ruled on the use of this endorsement. We strongly urge you to consult legal counsel and your personal tax adviser before electing this benefit.

Tax-advantaged arrangements. The Policy may be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified deferred compensation, split dollar arrangements and others. The tax consequences of such arrangements may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement. If you are contemplating the use of the Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement and the suitability of this Policy for the arrangement.

Split-Dollar Arrangements. The IRS and the Treasury Department have issued guidance that substantially affects split-dollar arrangements. Consult a qualified tax adviser before entering into or paying additional premiums with respect to such arrangements.

Also, on July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 became law and required significant accounting and corporate governance reform. This Act prohibits, with limited exceptions, publicly-traded companies from extending many types of personal Policy Loans to their directors or executive officers. This prohibition may be interpreted as applying to some arrangements for split-dollar life insurance policies for directors and executive officers of such companies, since such insurance may be viewed as involving a Policy Loan from the employer for at least some purposes. Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing Policy, or the purchase of a new Policy, in connection with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

Tax Shelter Regulations. Prospective owners should consult a tax adviser about the treatment of the Policy when used in a plan or arrangement that under the Treasury Regulations would be considered a tax shelter.

We and our subsidiaries, like other life insurance companies, are subject to regulatory and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Certain of the proceedings we are involved in assert claims for substantial amounts. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any pending or future case, legal proceeding or regulatory action, we do not expect the ultimate result of any of these actions to result in a material adverse effect on the Separate Account, our ability to meet our obligations under the Policies, or AIC's ability to perform its obligations. Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could from time to time have a material adverse effect on any or all of the above.

Our financial statements are included in a Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"). For information on how to obtain copies of these financial statements, at no charge, see the STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION; REGISTRATION STATEMENT provision on the last page of this prospectus.

Our Underwriter, AIC, enters into contracts with various broker-dealers ("Distributors") to distribute Policies.  These Distributors are registered with the SEC and are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.  All persons selling the Policy must be registered representatives of the Distributors, and also must be licensed as insurance agents to sell variable insurance products.  There is no premium load to cover sales and distribution expenses.  All compensation or expense reimbursement received by AIC for serving as principal underwriter of the Policies will be paid by us from our other assets or surplus in our general account, which may include profits derived from other charges made under the Policies.  Policies can be purchased directly from us through our direct consumer services, with salaried employees who are registered representatives of AIC and who will not receive compensation related to the purchase.

The following is a list of Portfolio Companies available under the Policy. More information about the Portfolio Companies is available in the prospectuses for the Portfolio Companies, which may be amended from time to time and can be found online at ameritas.com/investments/fund-prospectuses/.

The current expenses and performance information below reflects fees and expenses of the Portfolio Companies, but do not reflect the other fees and expenses that your Policy may charge. Expenses would be higher and performance would be lower if these other charges were included. Each Portfolio Company's past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

Illustrations are tools that can help demonstrate how the Policy operates, given the Policy's charges, Investment Options and any optional features selected, how you plan to accumulate or access Account Value over time, and assumed rates of return. Illustrations may also be able to assist you in comparing the Policy's death benefits, Cash Surrender Value and Account Value with those of other variable life insurance policies based upon the same or similar assumptions. You may ask your financial professional or us (at our toll-free telephone number) to provide an illustration based upon your specific situation. You may annually request, without charge, an illustration from us. We may charge a reasonable fee, not to exceed the maximum shown on the Policy schedule page, for additional illustrations requested in the same Policy year.

A Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") with the same date as this prospectus contains other information about the Separate Account, us, and the Policy. You may obtain a copy without charge, request other information about the Policy, and make investor inquiries by calling our toll-free telephone number 800-255-9678.

We will send a statement to you at least annually showing your Policy's death benefit, Account Value and any Policy Loan Balance. If your Policy activity is limited to scheduled periodic premiums automatically deducted from your bank or investment account or other systematic transfer programs, you will also receive a quarterly report, which will be confirmation of premium payments and regular Monthly Deductions. We will confirm any other premium payments, Policy Loans, Subaccount transfers, lapses, Surrender, partial withdrawals, and other Policy transactions as they occur. You will receive such additional periodic reports as may be required by the SEC.
