If your account value is $25,000 or more for NQ contracts (or $20,000 or more for IRA contracts), we will not deduct the charge. For individuals who own multiple contracts with combined account values of over $100,000, this charge may be waived. See "Annual administrative charge" in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus. o Charge for third-party transfer (such as in the case of a trustee-to-trustee transfer for an IRA contract) or exchange (if your contract is exchanged for a contract issued by another insurance company): $25 currently ($65 maximum) per occurrence. o No sales charge deducted at the time you make contributions. o During the first seven contract years following each contribution, a charge will be deducted from amounts that you withdraw that exceed 10% of your account value as of the date of the withdrawal, minus prior withdrawals in that contract year. The charge begins at 7% in the first contract year following each contribution. It declines each year to 1% in the seventh contract year. There is no withdrawal charge in the eighth and later contract years following a contribution. Under certain circumstances, the withdrawal charge will not apply. They are discussed in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "contract date" is the effective date of a contract. This usually is the business day we receive the properly completed and signed application, along with any other required documents, and your initial contribution. Your contract date will be shown in your contract. The 12-month period beginning on your contract date and each 12-month period after that date is a "contract year." The end of each 12-month period is your "contract date anniversary." For example, if your contract date is May 1, your contract date anniversary is April 30. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o We deduct a charge designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state. The charge is generally deducted from the amount applied to an annuity payout option. o We deduct a $350 annuity administrative fee from amounts applied to purchase a Variable Immediate Annuity payout option. This option is described in a separate prospectus that is available from your financial professional. o Annual expenses of the Trusts' portfolios are calculated as a percentage of the average daily net assets invested in each portfolio. Please see "Fee table" later in this prospectus for details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Annuitant issue ages 0-83 (0-70 for Inherited IRA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon request, your financial professional can show you information regarding other AXA Equitable annuity contracts that he or she distributes. You can also contact us to find out more about the availability of any of the AXA Equitable annuity contracts. You should work with your financial professional to decide whether an optional benefit is appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance. Some Selling broker-dealers may limit their clients from purchasing some optional benefits based upon the client's age. 10 EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) at a glance -- key features To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Fee table -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the contract. Each of the charges and expenses is more fully described in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus. The first table describes fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you surrender the contract, make certain withdrawals, purchase a Variable Immediate Annuity payout option or make certain transfers and exchanges. Charges designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state, may also apply. Charges for certain features shown in the fee table are mutually exclusive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charges we deduct from your account value at the time you request certain transactions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maximum withdrawal charge as a percentage of contributions withdrawn (deducted if you surrender your contract or make certain withdrawals).(1) 7.00% Charge if you elect a Variable Immediate Annuity payout option (which is described in a separate prospectus for that option) $350 Charge for third-party transfer or exchange $65 maximum for each occurrence; currently $25 for each occurrence. The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the contract, not including underlying Trust portfolio fees and expenses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charges we deduct from your account value on each contract date anniversary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maximum annual administrative charge: If your account value on the last day of your contract year is less than $25,000 for NQ contracts (or less than $20,000 for IRA contracts) $65 ($30 current)(2) If your account value on the last day of your contract year is $25,000 or more for NQ contracts (or $20,000 or more for IRA contracts) $ 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charges we deduct from your variable investment options expressed as an annual percentage of daily net assets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Separate account annual expenses: Maximum Current ------- ------- Mortality and expense risks(3) 1.65% 0.70% Other expenses 0.35% 0.25% ---- ---- Total Separate Account A annual expenses 2.00% 0.95% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You also bear your proportionate share of all fees and expenses paid by a "portfolio" that corresponds to any variable investment option you are using. This table shows the lowest and highest total operating expenses charged by any of the portfolios that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. These fees and expenses are reflected in the portfolio's net asset value each day. Therefore, they reduce the invest- ment return of the portfolio and the related variable investment option. Actual fees and expenses are likely to fluctuate from year to year. More detail concerning each portfolio's fees and expenses is contained in the Trust prospectus for the portfolio.

Fee table 11 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Notes: (1) Deducted upon a withdrawal of amounts in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount. Important exceptions and limitations may eliminate or reduce this charge.
The withdrawal charge percentage we use is determined by the contract year in Contract which you make the withdrawal or surrender your contract. For each contribution, Year we consider the contract year in which we receive that contribution to be 1.........7.00% "contract year 1". 2.........6.00% 3.........5.00% 4.........4.00% 5.........3.00% 6.........2.00% 7.........1.00% 8+........0.00%
(2) During the first two contract years, this charge is equal to the lesser of 2% of your account value plus any prior withdrawals during the Contract year or $30, if this charge applies. (3) A portion of this charge is for providing the death benefit. (4) "Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses" are based, in part, on estimated amounts for options added during the fiscal year 2008 and for the underlying portfolios. EXAMPLES These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and underlying Trust fees and expenses (including underlying portfolio fees and expenses). For a complete description of portfolio charges and expenses, please see the prospectus for each Trust. The examples below show the expenses that a hypothetical contract owner would pay in the situations illustrated. The examples use an average annual administrative charge based on charges paid in 2008, which results in an estimated annual charge of 0.0645% of contract value. The fixed maturity options are not covered by the fee table and examples. However, the annual administrative charge, the withdrawal charge, the third-party transfer or exchange charge, and the charge if you elect a Variable Immediate Annuity payout option do apply to the fixed maturity options. A market value adjustment (up or down) will apply as a result of a withdrawal, transfer, or surrender of amounts from a fixed maturity option. These examples should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses for any option. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. Similarly, the annual rate of return assumed in the examples is not an estimate or guarantee of future investment performance. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year. The examples also assume (i) maximum contract charges rather than the lower current expenses discussed in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus (except the annual administrative charge which is described above); (ii) the total annual expenses of the portfolios (before expense limitations) set forth in the previous tables; and (iii) there is no waiver of the withdrawal charge. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be: 12 Fee table To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green

Contract features and benefits -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW YOU CAN PURCHASE AND CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR CONTRACT You may purchase a contract by making payments to us that we call "contributions." We can refuse to accept any contribution from you at any time, including after you purchase the contract. We require a minimum contribution amount for each type of contract purchased. Maximum contribution limitations also apply. The minimum contribution amount under our automatic investment program is $20. We discuss the automatic investment program under "About methods of payment" in "More information" later in this prospectus. The following table summarizes our current rules regarding contributions to your contract, which rules are subject to change. All ages in the table refer to the age of the annuitant named in the contract. Upon advance notice to you, we may exercise certain rights we have under the contract regarding contributions, including our right to (i) change minimum and maximum contribution requirements and limitations, and (ii) discontinue acceptance of contributions. Further, we may at any time exercise our rights to limit the number of variable investment options which you may elect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We reserve the right to change our current limitations on your contributions and to discontinue acceptance of contributions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See "Tax information" later in this prospectus for a more detailed discussion of sources of contributions and certain contribution limitations. We currently do not accept any contribution if (i) the aggregate contributions under one or more EQUI-VEST(R) series and EQUI-VEST(R) At Retirement(SM) contracts with the same owner or annuitant would then total more than $1,500,000 ($500,000 for the same owner or annuitant who is age 81 and older at contract issue) or (ii) the aggregate contributions under all AXA Equitable annuity accumulation contracts with the same owner or annuitant would then total more than $2,500,000. We may waive these and other contribution limitations based on criteria we determine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "annuitant" is the person who is the measuring life for determining contract benefits. The annuitant is not necessarily the contract owner. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See "Tax information" later in this prospectus for a more detailed discussion of sources of contributions and certain contribution limitations. For information on when contributions are credited under your contract, see "Dates and prices at which contract events occur" in "More information" later in this prospectus. Please review your contract for information on contribution limitations. Contract features and benefits 15 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green OWNER AND ANNUITANT REQUIREMENTS Under NQ contracts, the annuitant can be different than the owner. A joint owner may also be named. Only natural persons can be joint owners. This means that an entity such as a corporation cannot be a joint owner. Under traditional and Roth IRA contracts, the owner and annuitant must be the same person. For owner and annuitant requirements for Inherited IRA, see "Inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract" later in this prospectus. HOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS Except as noted below, contributions must be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank in U.S. dollars, and made payable to "AXA Equitable". We may also apply contributions made pursuant to an intended Section 1035 tax-free exchange or direct transfer. We do not accept third-party checks endorsed to us except for rollover contributions, contract exchanges or trustee checks that involve no refund. All checks are subject to our ability to collect the funds. We reserve the right to reject a payment if it is received in an unacceptable form. Additional contributions may also be made by wire transfer or our automatic investment program. The methods of payment are discussed in detail under "About other methods of payment" in "More information" later in this prospectus. Your initial contribution must generally be accompanied by an application and any other form we need to process the contributions. If any information is missing or unclear, we will hold the contribution, whether received via check or wire, in a non-interest bearing suspense account while we try to obtain that information. If we are unable to obtain all of the information we require within five business days after we receive an incomplete application or form, we will inform the financial professional submitting the application on your behalf. We will then return the contribution to you unless you specifically direct us to keep your contribution until we receive the required information. Generally, you may make additional contributions at any time. You may do so in single sum amounts, on a regular basis, or as your financial situation permits. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our "business day" is generally any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading and generally ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or as of an earlier close of regular trading). A business day does not include a day on which we are not open due to emergency conditions determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may also close early due to such emergency conditions. For more information about our business day and our pricing of transactions, please see "Dates and prices at which contract events occur." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT ARE YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT? Your investment options are the variable investment options and the fixed maturity options. VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS Your investment results in any one of the variable investment options will depend on the investment performance of the underlying portfolios. You can lose your principal when investing in the variable investment options. In periods of poor market performance, the net return, after charges and expenses, may result in negative yields, including for the EQ/Money Market variable investment option. Listed below are the currently available portfolios, their investment objectives, and their advisers. We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions and to limit the number of variable investment options you may elect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can choose from among the variable investment options and fixed maturity options. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 Contract features and benefits To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green PORTFOLIOS OF THE TRUSTS The AXA Allocation Portfolios and the EQ/AXA Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Core Portfolio offer contract owners a convenient opportunity to invest in other portfolios that are managed and have been selected for inclusion in the AXA Allocation Portfolios and the EQ/AXA Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Core Portfolio by AXA Equitable. AXA Advisors, LLC, an affiliated broker-dealer of AXA Equitable, may promote the benefits of such portfolios to contract owners and/or suggest, incidental to the sale of this contract, that contract owners consider whether allocating some or all of their account value to such portfolios is consistent with their desired investment objectives. In doing so, AXA Equitable, and/or its affiliates, may be subject to conflicts of interest insofar as AXA Equitable may derive greater revenues from the AXA Allocation Portfolios and the EQ/AXA Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Core Portfolio than certain other portfolios available to you under your contract. In addition, due to the relative diversification of the underlying portfolios covering various asset classes and categories, the AXA Allocation Portfolios and the EQ/AXA Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Core Portfolio may enable AXA Equitable to more efficiently manage AXA Equitable's financial risks associated with certain guaranteed features. Please see "Allocating your contributions" later in this section for more information about your role in managing your allocations. AXA Equitable serves as the investment manager of the portfolios of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust. For some portfolios, AXA Equitable has entered into sub-advisory agreements with investment advisers (the "sub-advisers") to carry out the day-to-day investment decisions for the portfolios. As such, AXA Equitable oversees the activities of the sub-advisers with respect to the Trusts and is responsible for retaining or discontinuing the services of those sub-advisers. The chart below indicates the objective and investment manager or the sub-adviser(s), as applicable, for each portfolio.

We will not accept allocations to a fixed maturity option if on the date the contribution or transfer is to be applied the rate to maturity is 3%. This means that at points in time there may be no fixed maturity options available. You can allocate your contributions to one or more of these fixed maturity options. However, you may not allocate more than one contribution to any one fixed maturity option. These amounts become part of a non-unitized separate account. They will accumulate interest at the "rate to maturity" for each fixed maturity option. The total amount you allocate to and accumulate in each fixed maturity option is called the "fixed maturity amount." Please see Appendix IV later in this prospectus for state variations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed maturity options generally range from one to ten years to maturity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The rate to maturity you will receive for each fixed maturity option is the rate to maturity in effect for new contributions allocated to that fixed maturity option on the date we apply your contribution. On the maturity date of a fixed maturity option, your fixed maturity amount, assuming you have not made any withdrawals or transfers, will equal your contribution to that fixed maturity option plus interest, at the rate to maturity for that contribution. This is the fixed maturity option's "maturity value." Before maturity, the current value we will report for your fixed maturity amount will reflect a market value adjustment. Your current value will reflect the market value adjustment that we would make if you were to withdraw all of your fixed maturity amounts on the date of the report. We call this your "market adjusted amount." FIXED MATURITY OPTIONS AND MATURITY DATES. As of May 1st, we currently offer fixed maturity options ending on June 15th for maturity years ranging from one through ten. Not all of the fixed maturity options will be available for annuitants ages 76 and above. See "Allocating your contributions" below. As fixed maturity options expire, we expect to add maturity years so that generally 10 fixed maturity options are available at any time. We will not accept allocations to a fixed maturity option if on the date the contribution is to be applied: o you previously allocated a contribution or made a transfer to the same fixed maturity option; or o the rate to maturity is 3%; or o the fixed maturity option's maturity date is within 45 days; or o the fixed maturity option's maturity date is later than the date annuity payments are to begin. YOUR CHOICES AT THE MATURITY DATE. We will notify you at least 45 days before each of your fixed maturity options is scheduled to mature. At that time, you may choose to have one of the following take place on the maturity date, as long as none of the conditions listed above or in "Allocating your contributions" below would apply: (a) transfer the maturity value into another available fixed maturity option, or into any of the variable investment options; or (b) withdraw the maturity value (there may be a withdrawal charge). If we do not receive your choice on or before the fixed maturity option's maturity date, we will automatically transfer your maturity value into the next available fixed maturity option (or another investment option if we are required to do so by any state regulation). As of February 17, 2009 the next available maturity date was June 15, 2015 (see "About our fixed maturity options" in "More information" later in this prospectus). We may change our procedures in the future. MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT. If you make any withdrawals (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges) from a fixed maturity option before it matures, we will make a market value adjustment, which will increase or decrease any fixed maturity amount you have in that fixed maturity option. The amount of the adjustment will depend on two factors: (a) the difference between the rate to maturity that applies to the amount being withdrawn and the rate to maturity in effect at that time for new allocations to that same fixed maturity option, and (b) the length of time remaining until the maturity date. In general, if interest rates rise from the time that you originally allocate an amount to a fixed maturity option to the time that you take a withdrawal, the market value adjustment will be negative. Likewise, if interest rates drop at the end of that time, the market value adjustment will be positive. Also, the amount of the market value adjustment, either up or down, will be greater the longer the time remaining until the fixed maturity option's maturity date. Therefore, it is possible that the market value adjustment could greatly reduce your value in the fixed maturity options, particularly in the fixed maturity options with later maturity dates. We provide an illustration of the market adjusted amount of specified maturity values, an explanation of how we calculate the market value adjustment, and information concerning our general account and investments purchased with amounts allocated to the fixed maturity options, in "More information" later in this prospectus. Appendix III at the end of this prospectus provides an example of how the market value adjustment is calculated. ALLOCATING YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS You may choose from among two ways to allocate your contributions: self-directed and principal assurance. SELF-DIRECTED ALLOCATION You may allocate your contributions to one or more, or all of the investment options. However, you may not allocate more than one contribution to any one fixed maturity option. If the annuitant is age 76 or older, you may only allocate contributions to fixed maturity options with maturities of five years or less. Allocations must be in whole percentages and you may change your allocation percentages at any time. However, the total of your allocations must equal 100%. Once your contributions are allocated to the investment options they become part of your account value. We discuss account value in "Determining your contract's value" later in this prospectus. PRINCIPAL ASSURANCE ALLOCATION Under this allocation program, you select a fixed maturity option and we specify the portion of your initial contribution to be allocated to Contract features and benefits 23 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green that fixed maturity option in an amount that will cause the maturity value to equal the amount of your entire initial contribution on the fixed maturity option's maturity date. The maturity date you select generally may not be later than 10 years, or earlier than 7 years from your contract date. You allocate the rest of your contribution to the variable investment options however you choose. For example, if your initial contribution is $10,000, and on February 15, 2009 you chose the fixed maturity option with a maturity date of June 15, 2018, since the rate to maturity was 4.05%, on February 15, 2009, we would have allocated $6,905 to that fixed maturity option and the balance to your choice of variable investment options. On the maturity date your value in the fixed maturity option would be $10,000. The principal assurance allocation is only available for annuitant ages 75 or younger when the contract is issued. If you are purchasing an EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) traditional IRA contract, before you select a maturity year that would extend beyond the year in which you will reach age 70-1/2, you should consider whether your value in the variable investment options, or your other traditional IRA funds, are sufficient to meet your required minimum distributions. See "Tax information" later in this prospectus. The contract is between you and AXA Equitable. The contract is not an investment advisory account, and AXA Equitable is not providing any investment advice or managing the allocations under your contract. In the absence of a specific written arrangement to the contrary, you, as the owner of the contract, have the sole authority to make investment allocations and other decisions under the contract. Your AXA Advisors' financial professional is acting as a broker-dealer registered representative, and is not authorized to act as an investment advisor or to manage the allocations under your contract. If your financial professional is a registered representative with a broker-dealer other than AXA Advisors, you should speak with him/her regarding any different arrangements that may apply. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL WITHIN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with your contract, you may return it to us for a refund. To exercise this cancellation right, you must mail the contract directly to our processing office within 10 days after you receive it. If state law requires, this "free look" period may be longer. For contributions allocated to the variable investment options, your refund will equal your contributions, reflecting any investment gain or loss that also reflects the daily charges we deduct. For contributions allocated to the fixed maturity options, your refund will equal the amount of the contribution allocated to the fixed maturity options reflecting any positive or negative market value adjustments. Some states require that we refund the full amount of your contribution (not including any investment gain or loss, interest, or market value adjustment). For an IRA contract returned to us within seven days after you receive it, we are required to refund the full amount of your contribution. We may require that you wait six months before you apply for a contract with us again if: o you cancel your contract during the free look period; or o you change your mind before you receive your contract whether we have received your contribution or not. Also, if you fully or partially convert an existing traditional IRA contract to a Roth IRA contract, you may cancel your Roth IRA contract and return to a traditional IRA contract. Our processing office, or your financial professional, can provide you with the cancellation instructions. Ask for the form entitled "EQUI-VEST(R) Roth IRA Re-Characterization Form." In addition to the cancellation right described above, you have the right to surrender your contract, rather than cancel it. Please see "Surrender of your contract to receive its cash value," later in this prospectus. Surrendering your contract may yield results different than canceling your contract, including a greater potential for taxable income. In some cases, your cash value upon surrender may be greater than your contributions to the contract. Please see "Tax information," later in this Prospectus for possible consequences of cancelling your contract. INHERITED IRA BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION CONTRACT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congress has enacted a limited suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals only for calendar year 2009. Please note that for contract design administrative purposes, we will make distributions for calendar year 2009 unless the distributee requests in writing before the distribution is made that we refrain from making the required minimum distribution for calendar year 2009. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This contract is available to an individual beneficiary of a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA where the deceased owner held the individual retirement account or annuity (or Roth individual retirement account or annuity) with an insurance company or financial institution other than AXA Equitable. The purpose of the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract is to permit the beneficiary to change the funding vehicle that the deceased owner selected ("original IRA") while taking the required minimum distribution payments that must be made to the beneficiary after the deceased owner's death. See the discussion of required minimum distributions under "Tax Information." This contract is intended only for beneficiaries who want to take payments at least annually over their life expectancy. These payments generally must begin (or must have begun) no later than December 31st of the calendar year following the year the deceased owner died. This contract is not suitable for beneficiaries electing the "5-year rule." See "Beneficiary continuation option for traditional IRA and Roth IRA contracts" in "Payment of the death benefit" later in this prospectus. You should discuss with your tax adviser your own personal situation. The Inherited traditional IRA is also available to non-spousal beneficiaries of deceased plan participants in qualified plans, 403(b) plans and governmental employer 457(b) plans ("Applicable Plan(s)"). In this discussion, unless otherwise indicated, references to "deceased owner" include "deceased plan participant"; references to "original IRA" include "the deceased plan participant's interest or benefit under the Applicable Plan", and references to "individual beneficiary of a traditional IRA" include "individual non-spousal beneficiary under an Applicable Plan." 24 Contract features and benefits To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green The inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract can only be purchased by a direct transfer of the beneficiary's interest under the deceased owner's original IRA. In the case of a non-spousal beneficiary under a deceased plan participant's Applicable Plan, the Inherited traditional IRA can only be purchased by a direct rollover of the death benefit under the Applicable Plan. The owner of the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract is the individual who is the beneficiary of the original IRA. (Certain trusts with only individual beneficiaries will be treated as individuals for this purpose). The contract must also contain the name of the deceased owner. In this discussion, "you" refers to the owner of the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract. The inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract can be purchased whether or not the deceased owner had begun taking required minimum distribution payments during his or her life from the original IRA or whether you had already begun taking required minimum distribution payments of your interest as a beneficiary from the deceased owner's original IRA. You should discuss with your own tax adviser when payments must begin or must be made. Under the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract: o You must receive payments at least annually (but can elect to receive payments monthly or quarterly). Payments are generally made over your life expectancy determined in the calendar year after the deceased owner's death and determined on a term certain basis. o The beneficiary of the original IRA will be the annuitant under the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract. In the case where the beneficiary is a "see-through trust," the oldest beneficiary of the trust will be the annuitant. o An inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract is not available for annuitants over age 70. o The initial contribution must be a direct transfer from the deceased owner's original IRA and must be at least $5,000. o Additional contributions of at least $1,000 are permitted, but must be direct transfers of your interest as a beneficiary from another IRA with a financial institution other than AXA Equitable, where the deceased owner is the same as under the original IRA contract. o A non-spousal beneficiary under an Applicable Plan cannot make additional contributions to an Inherited traditional IRA contract. o You may make transfers among the investment options. o You may choose at any time to withdraw all or a portion of the account value. Any partial withdrawal must be at least $300. Withdrawal charges will apply as described under "Withdrawal charge" in "Charges and expenses," later in this prospectus. o The following features mentioned in the prospectus are not available under the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract: successor owner/annuitant, automatic investment program and systematic withdrawals. o If you die, we will pay to a beneficiary that you choose the greater of the account value or the minimum death benefit. o Upon your death, your beneficiary has the option to continue taking required minimum distributions based on your remaining life expectancy or to receive any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum. The option elected will be processed when we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions for the method of payment and any required information and forms necessary to effect payment. If your beneficiary elects to continue to take distributions, we will increase the account value to equal the minimum death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death and any required instructions, information and forms. The increase in account value will be allocated to the investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. Thereafter, withdrawal charges will no longer apply. Contract features and benefits 25 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 2. Determining your contract's value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE Your "account value" is the total of the: (i) values you have in the variable investment options and (ii) market adjusted amounts you have in the fixed maturity options. These amounts are subject to certain fees and charges discussed under "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus. Your contract also has a "cash value." At any time before annuity payments begin, your contract's cash value is equal to the account value less: (i) any applicable withdrawal charges and (ii) the total amount or a pro rata portion of the annual administrative charge. Please see "Surrender of your contract to receive its cash value" in "Accessing your money" later in this prospectus. YOUR CONTRACT'S VALUE IN THE VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS Each variable investment option invests in shares of a corresponding portfolio. Your value in each variable investment option is measured by "units." The value of your units will increase or decrease as though you had invested it in the corresponding portfolio's shares directly. Your value, however, will be reduced by the amount of the fees and charges that we deduct under the contract. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Units measure your value in each variable investment option. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The unit value for each variable investment option depends on the investment performance of that option minus daily charges for mortality and expense risks and other expenses. On any day, your value in any variable investment option equals the number of units credited to that option, adjusted for any units purchased for or deducted from your contract under that option, multiplied by that day's value for one unit. The number of your contract units in any variable investment option does not change unless they are: (i) increased to reflect additional contributions; (ii) decreased to reflect a withdrawal (plus applicable withdrawal charges); or (iii) increased to reflect a transfer into, or decreased to reflect a transfer out of a variable investment option. In addition, when we deduct the annual administrative charge or third-party transfer or exchange charge, we will reduce the number of units credited to your contract. A description of how unit values are calculated is found in the SAI. YOUR CONTRACT'S VALUE IN THE FIXED MATURITY OPTIONS Your value in each fixed maturity option at any time before the maturity date is the market adjusted amount in each option, which reflects withdrawals out of the option and charges we deduct. This is equivalent to your fixed maturity amount increased or decreased by the market value adjustment. Your value, therefore, may be higher or lower than your contributions (less withdrawals) accumulated at the rate to maturity. At the maturity date, your value in a fixed maturity option will equal its maturity value, provided there have been no withdrawals or transfers. 26 Determining your contract's value To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 3. Transferring your money among investment options -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSFERRING YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE At any time before the date annuity payments are to begin, you can transfer some or all of your account value among the investment options, subject to the following: o you must transfer at least $300 of account value or, if less, the entire amount in the investment option. We may waive the $300 requirement. o you may not transfer to a fixed maturity option in which you already have value. o You may not transfer to a fixed maturity option that has a rate to maturity of 3%. o if the annuitant is age 76 or older, you must limit your transfers to fixed maturity options to those with maturities of five years or less. As of February 17, 2009, not all maturities were available. o you may not transfer to a fixed maturity option if its maturity date is later than the date annuity payments are to begin. o if you make transfers out of a fixed maturity option other than at its maturity date, the transfer will cause a market value adjustment. Upon advance notice to you, we may change or establish additional restrictions on transfers among the investment options, including limitations on the number, frequency, or dollar amount of transfers. A transfer request does not change your percentages for allocating current or future contributions among the investment options. Our current transfer restrictions are set forth in the "Disruptive transfer activity" section below. You may request a transfer in writing, or by telephone using TOPS or on line using Online Account Access. You must send in all signed written requests directly to our processing office. Transfer requests should specify: (1) the contract number, (2) the dollar amounts to be transferred, and (3) the investment options to and from which you are transferring. We will confirm all transfers in writing. Please see "Allocating your contributions" in "Contract features and benefits" for more information about your role in managing your allocations. DISRUPTIVE TRANSFER ACTIVITY You should note that the contract is not designed for professional "market timing" organizations, or other organizations or individuals engaging in a market timing strategy. The contract is not designed to accommodate programmed transfers, frequent transfers or transfers that are large in relation to the total assets of the underlying portfolio. Frequent transfers, including market timing and other program trading or short-term trading strategies, may be disruptive to the underlying portfolios in which the variable investment options invest. Disruptive transfer activity may adversely affect performance and the interests of long-term investors by requiring a portfolio to maintain larger amounts of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price. For example, when market timing occurs, a portfolio may have to sell its holdings to have the cash necessary to redeem the market timer's investment. This can happen when it is not advantageous to sell any securities, so the portfolio's performance may be hurt. When large dollar amounts are involved, market timing can also make it difficult to use long-term investment strategies because a portfolio cannot predict how much cash it will have to invest. In addition, disruptive transfers or purchases and redemptions of portfolio investments may impede efficient portfolio management and impose increased transaction costs, such as brokerage costs, by requiring the portfolio manager to effect more frequent purchases and sales of portfolio securities. Similarly, a portfolio may bear increased administrative costs as a result of the asset level and investment volatility that accompanies patterns of excessive or short-term trading. Portfolios that invest a significant portion of their assets in foreign securities or the securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be subject to the risks associated with market timing and short-term trading strategies to a greater extent than portfolios that do not. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio securities values occur after the close of the overseas market but prior to the close of the U.S. markets. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies present arbitrage opportunities because the market for such securities may be less liquid than the market for securities of larger companies, which could result in pricing inefficiencies. Please see the prospectuses for the underlying portfolios for more information on how portfolio shares are priced. We currently use the procedures described below to discourage disruptive transfer activity. You should understand, however, that these procedures are subject to the following limitations: (1) they primarily rely on the policies and procedures implemented by the underlying portfolios; (2) they do not eliminate the possibility that disruptive transfer activity, including market timing, will occur or that portfolio performance will be affected by such activity; and (3) the design of market timing procedures involves inherently subjective judgments, which we seek to make in a fair and reasonable manner consistent with the interests of all contract owners. We offer investment options with underlying portfolios that are part of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust (together, the "trusts"). The trusts have adopted policies and procedures regarding disruptive transfer activity. They discourage frequent purchases and redemptions of portfolio shares and will not make special arrangements to accommodate such transactions. They aggregate inflows and outflows for each portfolio on a daily basis. On any day when a portfolio's net inflows or outflows exceed an established monitoring threshold, the trust obtains from us contract owner trading activity. The trusts cur- Transferring your money among investment options 27 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green rently consider transfers into and out of (or vice versa) the same variable investment option within a five business day period as potentially disruptive transfer activity. Each trust reserves the right to reject a transfer that it believes, in its sole discretion, is disruptive (or potentially disruptive) to the management of one of its portfolios. Please see the prospectuses for the trusts for more information. When a contract is identified in connection with potentially disruptive transfer activity for the first time, a letter is sent to the contract owner explaining that there is a policy against disruptive transfer activity and that if such activity continues, certain transfer privileges may be eliminated. If and when the contract owner is identified a second time as engaged in potentially disruptive transfer activity under the contract, we currently prohibit the use of voice, fax and automated transaction services. We currently apply such action for the remaining life of each affected contract. We or a trust may change the definition of potentially disruptive transfer activity, the monitoring procedures and thresholds, any notification procedures, and the procedures to restrict this activity. Any new or revised policies and procedures will apply to all contract owners uniformly. We do not permit exceptions to our policies restricting disruptive transfer activity. It is possible that a trust may impose a redemption fee designed to discourage frequent or disruptive trading by contract owners. As of the date of this prospectus, the trusts had not implemented such a fee. If a redemption fee is implemented by a trust, that fee, like any other trust fee, will be borne by the contract owner. Contract owners should note that it is not always possible for us and the underlying trusts to identify and prevent disruptive transfer activity. In addition, because we do not monitor for all frequent trading at the separate account level, contract owners may engage in frequent trading which may not be detected, for example, due to low net inflows or outflows on the particular day(s). Therefore, no assurance can be given that we or the trusts will successfully impose restrictions on all potentially disruptive transfers. Because there is no guarantee that disruptive trading will be stopped, some contract owners may be treated differently than others, resulting in the risk that some contract owners may be able to engage in frequent transfer activity while others will bear the effect of that frequent transfer activity. The potential effects of frequent transfer activity are discussed above. AUTOMATIC TRANSFER OPTIONS GENERAL DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING Dollar-cost averaging allows you to gradually allocate amounts to the variable investment options by periodically transferring approximately the same dollar amount to the variable investment options you select. This will cause you to purchase more units if the unit's value is low and fewer units if the unit's value is high. Therefore, you may get a lower average cost per unit over the long term. This plan of investing, however, does not guarantee that you will earn a profit or be protected against losses. The general dollar-cost averaging feature allows you to have amounts automatically transferred from the EQ/Money Market option to the other variable investment options on a monthly basis. In order to elect the general dollar-cost averaging option you must have a minimum of $2,000 in the EQ/Money Market option on the date we receive your election form at our processing office. You can specify the number of monthly transfers or instruct us to continue to make monthly transfers until all available amounts in the EQ/Money Market option have been transferred out. The minimum amount that we will transfer each month is $50. The maximum amount we will transfer is equal to your value in the EQ/Money Market option at the time the program is elected, divided by the number of transfers scheduled to be made. If, on any transfer date, your value in the EQ/Money Market option is equal to or less than the amount you have elected to have transferred, the entire amount will be transferred. General dollar-cost averaging will then end. You may change the transfer amount once each contract year, or cancel this program at any time. You may not elect dollar-cost averaging if you are participating in the rebalancing program. REBALANCING YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE We currently offer a rebalancing program that you can use to automatically reallocate your account value among the variable investment options. To enroll in the asset rebalancing program, you must notify us in writing by completing our asset rebalancing form, instructing us: (a) the percentage you want invested in each variable investment option (whole percentages only), and (b) how often you want the rebalancing to occur (quarterly, semiannually, or annually). While your rebalancing program is in effect, we will transfer amounts among each variable investment option so that the percentage of your account value that you specify is invested in each option at the end of each rebalancing date. Your entire account value in the variable investment options must be included in the rebalancing program. Currently, we permit rebalancing of up to 20 investment options. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rebalancing does not assure a profit or protect against loss. You should periodically review your allocation percentages as your needs change. You may want to discuss the rebalancing program with your financial professional and/or financial adviser before electing the program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be eligible, you must have at least $5,000 of account value in the variable investment options. You may also change your allocation instructions or cancel the program at any time. If you request a transfer while the rebalancing program is in effect, we will process the transfer as requested; the rebalancing program will remain in effect unless you request that it be cancelled in writing. You may elect or terminate the rebalancing program at any time. You may also change your allocations under the program at any time. Once enrolled in the rebalancing program, it will remain in effect until you instruct us in writing to terminate the program. Requesting an investment option transfer while enrolled in our rebalancing program will not automatically change your allocation instructions for rebalancing your account value. This means that upon the next scheduled rebalancing, we will transfer amounts among your investment options pursuant to the allocation instructions previously on file for your pro- 28 Transferring your money among investment options To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green gram. Changes to your allocation instructions for the rebalancing program (or termination of your enrollment in the program) must be in writing and sent to our Processing Office. You may not elect the rebalancing program if you are participating in the dollar-cost averaging program. Rebalancing is not available for amounts you have allocated in the fixed maturity options.

Accessing your money -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITHDRAWING YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE You have several ways to withdraw your account value before annuity payments begin. The table below shows the methods available under each type of contract. More information follows the table. For the tax consequences of taking withdrawals, see "Tax information" later in this prospectus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method of Withdrawal -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minimum Contract Partial Systematic distribution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NQ Yes Yes No -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- traditional IRA Yes Yes Yes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roth IRA Yes Yes No -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS (All contracts) You may take partial withdrawals from your account value at any time while the annuitant is living and before annuity payments begin. The minimum amount you may withdraw at any time is $300. If you request a withdrawal that leaves you with an account value of less than $500, we may treat it as a request to surrender the contract for its cash value. See "Surrender of your contract to receive its cash value" below. Partial withdrawals in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount may be subject to a withdrawal charge (see "10% free withdrawal amount" in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus). SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS (All contracts except inherited IRA) If you have at least $20,000 of account value in the variable investment options, you may take systematic withdrawals on a monthly or quarterly basis. The minimum amount you may take for each withdrawal is $250. We will make the withdrawals on any day of the month that you select as long as it is not later than the 28th day of the month. If you do not select a date, your withdrawals will be made on the first day of the month. A check for the amount of the withdrawal will be mailed to you or, if you prefer, we will electronically transfer the money to your checking or savings account. If you choose to have a fixed dollar amount taken from the variable investment options and/or the guaranteed interest option, you may elect to have the amount of the withdrawal subtracted from your account value in one of three ways: (1) Pro rata from all of your variable investment options and the guaranteed interest option, in which you have value (without exhausting your values in those options). Once the requested amount is greater than your account value, the systematic withdrawal program will terminate. (2) Pro rata from all of your variable investment options and the guaranteed interest option, in which you have value (until your account value is exhausted). Once the requested amount leaves you with an account value of less than $500, we will treat it as a request to surrender your contract. (3) You may specify a dollar amount from one variable investment option or the guaranteed interest option. If you choose this option and the value in the investment option drops below the requested withdrawal amount, the requested withdrawal amount will be taken on a pro rata basis from all remaining investment options in which you have value. Once the requested amount leaves you with an account value of less than $500, we will treat it as a request to surrender your contract. If you are invested in fixed maturity options, you may not elect option (1) or (2). You can cancel the systematic withdrawal option at any time. Amounts withdrawn in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount may be subject to a withdrawal charge. LIFETIME MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION WITHDRAWALS (Traditional IRA contracts -- See "Tax information" later in this prospectus.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congress has enacted a limited suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals only for calendar year 2009. Please note that for contract design administrative purposes, we will make distributions for calendar year 2009 unless you request in writing before we make the distribution that you do not want any required minimum distribution for calendar year 2009. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We offer our "required minimum distribution (RMD) automatic withdrawal option" to help you meet lifetime required minimum distributions under federal income tax rules. This is not the exclusive way for you to meet these rules. After consultation with your tax adviser, you may decide to compute required minimum distributions yourself and request partial withdrawals. In such a case, a withdrawal charge may apply if your withdrawal exceeds the free withdrawal amount. You may choose instead an annuity payout option. Before electing an account-based withdrawal option, please refer to "Required minimum distributions" under "Individual Retirement Arrangements ("IRAs")" in "Tax information" later in this prospectus. Also, the actuarial present value of additional contract benefits must be added to the account value in calculating required minimum distribution withdrawals, which could increase the amount required to be withdrawn. For this purpose additional annuity contract benefits may include enhanced death benefits. You may elect our RMD automatic withdrawal option in the year in which you reach age 70-1/2 or in any later year. To elect this option, you must have account value in the variable investment options of at least $2,000. The minimum amount we will pay out is $300, or if less, your account value. If your account value is less than $500 after the with- 30 Accessing your money To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green drawal, we may terminate your contract and pay you its cash value. Currently, minimum distribution withdrawal payments will be made annually. Currently, we do not impose a withdrawal charge on minimum distribution withdrawals if you are enrolled in our RMD automatic withdrawal option. The minimum distribution withdrawal will be taken into account in determining if any subsequent withdrawal taken in the same contract year exceeds the 10% free withdrawal amount. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We will send to traditional IRA owners a form outlining the minimum distribution options available in the year you reach age 70-1/2 (if you have not begun your annuity payments before that time). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW WITHDRAWALS ARE TAKEN FROM YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE Unless you specify otherwise, we will subtract your withdrawals on a pro rata basis from your value in the investment options. A market value adjustment will apply if withdrawals are taken from the fixed maturity options. AUTOMATIC DEPOSIT SERVICE If you are receiving Required Minimum Distribution payments from a traditional IRA contract, you may use our automatic deposit service. Under this service we will automatically deposit the Required Minimum Distribution payment from your traditional IRA contract directly into an existing EQUI-VEST(R) NQ or Roth IRA or an existing EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) NQ or Roth IRA contract according to your allocation instructions. Please note that you must have compensation or earned income for the year of the contribution to make regular contributions to Roth IRAs. See "Tax information" later in this prospectus. DEPOSIT OPTION FOR NQ CONTRACTS ONLY You can elect the deposit option for your benefit while you are alive, or for the benefit of your beneficiary. Proceeds from your NQ contract can be deposited with us for a period you select (including one for as long as the annuitant lives). We will hold the amounts in our general account. We will credit interest on the amounts at a guaranteed rate for the specified period. We will pay out the interest on the amount deposited at least once each year. If you elect this option for your benefit, you deposit the amount with us that you would otherwise apply to an annuity payout option. If you elect this option for your beneficiary before the annuitant's death, death benefit proceeds can be left on deposit with us subject to certain restrictions, instead of being paid out to the beneficiary. Other restrictions apply to the deposit option. Your financial professional can provide more information about this option, or you may call our processing office. SURRENDER OF YOUR CONTRACT TO RECEIVE ITS CASH VALUE You may surrender your contract to receive its cash value at any time while the annuitant is living and before you begin to receive annuity payments. For a surrender to be effective, we must receive your written request and your contract at our processing office. We will determine your cash value on the date we receive the required information. All benefits under the contract will terminate as of that date. You may receive your cash value in a single sum payment or apply it to one or more of the annuity payout options. See "Your annuity payout options" below. We will usually pay the cash value within seven calendar days, but we may delay payment as described in "When to expect payments" below. For the tax consequences of surrenders, see "Tax information" later in this prospectus. TERMINATION We may terminate your contract and pay you the cash value if: (1) your account value is less than $500 and you have not made contributions to your contract for a period of three years; or (2) you request a partial withdrawal that reduces your account value to an amount less than $500; or (3) you have not made any contributions within 120 days from your contract date. WHEN TO EXPECT PAYMENTS Generally, we will fulfill requests for payments out of the variable investment options within seven calendar days after the date of the transaction to which the request relates. These transactions may include applying proceeds to a variable annuity payout option, payment of a death benefit, payment of any amount you withdraw (less any withdrawal charge) and, upon surrender or termination, payment of the cash value. We may postpone such payments or applying proceeds for any period during which: (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed or restricts trading, (2) the SEC determines that an emergency exists as a result of which sales of securities or determination of fair value of a variable investment option's assets is not reasonably practicable, or (3) the SEC, by order, permits us to defer payment to protect people remaining in the variable investment options. We can defer payment of any portion of your values in the fixed maturity options (other than for death benefits) for up to six months while you are living. All payments are made by check and are mailed to you (or the payee named in a tax-free exchange) by U.S. mail, unless you request that we use an express delivery or wire transfer service at your expense. YOUR ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS Deferred annuity contracts such as EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) provide for conversion to payout status at or before the contract's "maturity date." This is called annuitization. When your contract is annuitized, your EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract and all its benefits will terminate and you will receive a supplemental payout annuity contract ("payout option") that provides for periodic payments for life or for a specified period of time. In general, the periodic payment amount is determined by the account value or cash value of your EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) con- Accessing your money 31 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green tract at the time of annuitization and the annuity purchase factor to which that value is applied, as described below. We have the right to require you to provide any information we deem necessary to provide an annuity payout option. If an annuity payout is later found to be based on incorrect information, it will be adjusted on the basis of the correct information. Your EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract guarantees that upon annuitization, your annuity account value will be applied to a guaranteed annuity purchase factor for a life annuity payout option. We reserve the right, with advance notice to you, to change your annuity purchase factor any time after your fifth contract date anniversary and at not less than five year intervals after the first change. (Please see your contract and SAI for more information). In addition, you may apply your account value or cash value, whichever is applicable, to any other annuity payout option that we may offer at the time of annuitization. We may offer other payout options not outlined here. Your financial professional can provide details. EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) offers you several choices of annuity payout options. Some enable you to receive fixed annuity payments and others enable you to receive variable annuity payments. You can choose from among the annuity payout options listed below. Restrictions may apply, depending on the type of contract you own and the annuitant's age at contract issue. ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed annuity payout options o Life annuity o Life annuity with period certain o Life annuity with refund certain o Period certain annuity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Variable Immediate Annuity payout o Life annuity (not available in options (as described in a New York) separate prospectus for this o Life annuity with period option) certain -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Life annuity: An annuity that guarantees payments for the rest of the annuitant's life. Payments end with the last monthly payment before the annuitant's death. Because there is no continuation of benefits following the annuitant's death with this payout option, it provides the highest monthly payment of any of the life annuity options, so long as the annuitant is living. o Life annuity with period certain: An annuity that guarantees payments for the rest of the annuitant's life. If the annuitant dies before the end of a selected period of time ("period certain"), payments continue to the beneficiary for the balance of the period certain. The period certain cannot extend beyond the annuitant's life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of the annuitant and the joint annuitant. A life annuity with period certain is the form of annuity under the contracts that you will receive if you do not elect a different payout option. In this case the period certain will be based on the annuitant's age and will not exceed 10 years or the annuitant's life expectancy. o Life annuity with refund certain: An annuity that guarantees payments for the rest of the annuitant's life. If the annuitant dies before the amount applied to purchase the annuity option has been recovered, payments to the beneficiary will continue until that amount has been recovered. This payout option is available only as a fixed annuity. o Period certain annuity: An annuity that guarantees payments for a specific period of time, usually 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. This guarantee period may not exceed the annuitant's life expectancy. This option does not guarantee payments for the rest of the annuitant's life. It does not permit any repayment of the unpaid principal, so you cannot elect to receive part of the payments as a single sum payment with the rest paid in monthly annuity payments. This payout option is available only as a fixed annuity. The life annuity, life annuity with period certain, and life annuity with refund certain payout options are available on a single life or joint and survivor life basis. The joint and survivor life annuity guarantees payments for the rest of the annuitant's life and, after the annuitant's death, payments continue to the survivor. FIXED ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS With fixed annuities, we guarantee fixed annuity payments that will be based either on the tables of guaranteed annuity purchase factors in your contract or on our then current annuity purchase factors, whichever is more favorable for you. VARIABLE IMMEDIATE ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS Variable Immediate Annuities are described in a separate prospectus that is available from your financial professional. Before you select a Variable Immediate Annuity payout option, you should read the prospectus which contains important information that you should know. Variable Immediate Annuities may be funded through your choice of available variable investment options investing in portfolios of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust. The contract also offers a fixed income annuity payout option that can be elected in combination with the variable income annuity payout option. The amount of each variable income annuity payment will fluctuate, depending upon the performance of the variable investment options, and whether the actual rate of investment return is higher or lower than an assumed base rate. SELECTING AN ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTION When you select a payout option, we will issue you a separate written agreement confirming your right to receive annuity payments. We require you to return your contract before annuity payments begin. Unless you choose a different payout option, we will pay annuity payments under a life annuity with a period certain of 10 years. You choose whether these payments will be fixed or variable. The contract owner and annuitant must meet the issue age and payment requirements. You can choose the date annuity payments are to begin, but generally it may not be earlier than thirteen months from the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract date. You can change the date your annuity 32 Accessing your money To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green payments are to begin anytime before that date as long as you do not choose a date later than the 28th day of any month or later than your contract's maturity date. Your contract's maturity date is the date by which you must either take a lump sum withdrawal or select an annuity payout option. The maturity date is generally the contract date anniversary that follows the annuitant's 90th birthday. We will send you a notice with your contract statement one year prior to your maturity date. Once you have selected an annuity payout option and payments have begun, no change can be made other than transfers among the variable investment options if a variable immediate annuity is selected. If you do not respond to the notice within 30 days following your maturity date, your contract will be annuitized automatically. We currently offer different payment frequencies on certain annuity payout options. In general, the total annual payout will be lower for more frequent payouts (such as monthly) because of the increased administrative expenses associated with more frequent payouts. Also, in general, the longer the period over which we expect to make payments, the lower will be your payment each year. The amount of the annuity payments will depend on: (1) the amount applied to purchase the annuity; (2) the type of annuity chosen, and whether it is fixed or variable; (3) in the case of a life annuity, the annuitant's age (or the annuitant's and joint annuitant's ages); and (4) in certain instances, the sex of the annuitant(s). The amount applied to provide the annuity payments will be (1) the account value for any life annuity form, or (2) the cash value for any annuity certain (an annuity form that does not guarantee payments for a person's lifetime) except that if the period certain is more than five years, the amount applied will be no less than 95% of the account value. If, at the time you elect a payout option, the amount to be applied is less than $2,000 or the initial payment under the form elected is less than $20 monthly, we reserve the right to pay the account value in a single sum rather than as payments under the payout option chosen. Please see Appendix IV later in this prospectus for state variations. EQUI-VEST(R) AT RETIREMENT(SM) If you have a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, QP IRA or NQ contract, you may be eligible to convert your EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract to a new EQUI-VEST(R) At Retirement(SM) contract. EQUI-VEST(R) At Retirement(SM) is a deferred variable annuity contract that offers living benefits (Guaranteed withdrawal benefit for life or Guaranteed minimum income benefit) and enhanced death benefits. The EQUI-VEST(R) At Retirement(SM) contract has no withdrawal charges. At the time of conversion, you must meet the following conditions in order to qualify for this conversion offer. You must be between the ages of 55 and 85, your contract must have an account value of at least $50,000, you must purchase at least one of the living or enhanced death benefits, there can be no withdrawal charges applicable under your existing EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract, and no rollover/direct transfer contributions can have been made to the existing contract in the two contract years prior to the date you apply for the new contract. The written application for the new EQUI-VEST(R) At Retirement(SM) contract must be received by our Processing Office no later than the close of business on December 31, 2016 or such later date as we state in writing to you. The EQUI-VEST(R) At Retirement(SM) contract and its benefits, including the charges for such benefits are described in a separate prospectus. Accessing your money 33 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 5. Charges and expenses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARGES THAT AXA EQUITABLE DEDUCTS We deduct the following charges each day from the net assets of each variable investment option. These charges are reflected in the unit values of each variable investment option: o A mortality and expense risks charge o A charge for other expenses We deduct the following charges from your account value. When we deduct these charges from your variable investment options, we reduce the number of units credited to your contract: o on the last day of the contract year -- an annual administrative charge, if applicable o charge for third-party transfer or exchange o at the time you make certain withdrawals or surrender your contract, or your contract is terminated -- a withdrawal charge o at the time annuity payments are to begin -- charges designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state. An annuity administrative fee may also apply More information about these charges appears below. We will not increase these charges for the life of your contract, except as noted. We may reduce certain charges under group or sponsored arrangements. See "Group or sponsored arrangements" below. To help with your retirement planning, we may offer other annuities with different charges, benefits and features. Please contact your financial professional for more information. CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS CHARGE We deduct a daily charge from the net assets in each variable investment option to compensate us for mortality and expense risks, including the death benefit. The daily charge is currently equivalent to an annual rate of 0.70% (1.65% maximum) of the net assets in each variable investment option. The mortality risk we assume is the risk that annuitants as a group will live for a longer time than our actuarial tables predict. If that happens, we would be paying more in annuity benefits than we planned. We also assume a risk that the mortality assumptions reflected in our guaranteed annuity payment tables, shown in each contract, will differ from actual mortality experience. We may change the actuarial basis for our guaranteed annuity payment tables, but only for new contributions and only at five year intervals from the contract date. Lastly, we assume a mortality risk to the extent that at the time of death, the death benefit exceeds the cash value of the contract. The expense risk we assume is the risk that our expenses in providing the benefits and administering the contracts will be greater than we expect. To the extent that the mortality and expense risk charges are not needed to cover the actual expenses incurred, they may be considered an indirect reimbursement for certain sales and promotional expenses relating to the contracts. CHARGE FOR OTHER EXPENSES We deduct this daily charge from the net assets in each variable investment option. This charge, together with the annual administrative charge described below, is for providing administrative and financial accounting services under the contracts. The daily charge is currently equivalent to an annual rate of 0.25% (0.35% maximum) of net assets in each variable investment option. The combined charge for mortality and expense risks and for other expenses is guaranteed not to exceed a total annual rate of 2.00%. ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE We deduct an administrative charge from your account value on the last business day of each contract year. We will deduct a pro rata portion of the charge if you surrender your contract, elect an annuity payout option, or the annuitant dies during the contract year. We deduct the charge if your account value on the last business day of the contract year is less than $25,000 under NQ contracts and $20,000 under IRA contracts. If your account value on such date is $25,000 or more for NQ ($20,000 or more for IRA) contracts, we do not deduct the charge. During the first two contract years, the charge is equal to $30 or, if less, 2% of your current account value plus any amount previously withdrawn during the contract year. The charge is currently $30 for contract years three and later. We may increase this charge if our administrative costs rise, but the charge will never exceed $65 annually. The charge is deducted pro rata from the variable investment options. If those amounts are insufficient, we will make up the required amounts from the fixed maturity options to the extent you have value in those options. Charges deducted from the fixed maturity options are considered withdrawals, and as such, will result in a market value adjustment. We currently waive the annual administrative charge that would otherwise be deducted in the next contract year under any individually owned EQUI-VEST(R) contract/certificate having an account value that, when combined with the account value of other EQUI-VEST(R) contracts/certificates owned by the same person, exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate (as determined in January of each year). This does not apply to EQUI-VEST(R) contracts/certificates owned by different members of the same household. We may change or discontinue this practice at any time without prior notice. CHARGE FOR THIRD-PARTY TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE We impose a charge for making a direct transfer of amounts from your contract to a third party, such as in the case of a trustee-to-trustee 34 Charges and expenses To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green transfer for an IRA contract, or if you request that your contract be exchanged for a contract issued by another insurance company. In either case, we will deduct from your account value any withdrawal charge that applies and a charge of $25 for each direct transfer or exchange. We reserve the right to increase this charge to a maximum of $65. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE A withdrawal charge may apply in three circumstances: (1) you make one or more withdrawals during a contract year; (2) you surrender your contract to receive its cash value; or (3) we terminate your contract. The amount of the charge will depend on whether the free withdrawal amount applies, and the availability of one or more exceptions. The withdrawal charge equals a percentage of the contributions withdrawn. The percentage that applies depends on how long each contribution has been invested in the contract. We determine the withdrawal charge separately for each contribution according to the following table: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Contract year ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8+ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Percentage of contribution 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% ---------------------------------------------------------------- For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we treat the contract year in which we receive a contribution as "contract year 1." Amounts withdrawn up to the free withdrawal amount are not considered withdrawal of any contribution. We also treat contributions that have been invested the longest as being withdrawn first. We treat contributions as withdrawn before earnings for purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge. However, federal income tax rules treat earnings under most NQ contracts as withdrawn first. See "Tax information" later in this prospectus. In the case of contract surrender, the free withdrawal amount is taken into account when calculating the amount of the withdrawal. In order to give you the exact dollar amount of the withdrawal you request, we deduct the amount of the withdrawal and the amount of the withdrawal charge from your account value. Any amount deducted to pay withdrawal charges is also subject to that same withdrawal charge percentage. We deduct the withdrawal amount and the withdrawal charge pro rata from the variable investment options. If those amounts are insufficient, we will make up the required amounts from the fixed maturity options. If we deduct all or a portion of the withdrawal charge from the fixed maturity options, a market value adjustment will apply. See "About our fixed maturity options" in "More information" later in this prospectus. The withdrawal charge does not apply in the circumstances described below. 10% FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. Each contract year you can withdraw up to 10% of your account value without paying a withdrawal charge. The 10% free withdrawal amount is determined using your account value at the time you request a withdrawal, minus any other withdrawals made during the contract year. DEATH AND PURCHASE OF ANNUITY. The withdrawal charge does not apply if: o the annuitant dies and a death benefit is payable to the beneficiary. o we receive a properly completed election form providing for the account value to be used to buy a life contingent annuity or a non-life annuity with a period certain for a term of at least ten years. CHARGES FOR STATE PREMIUM AND OTHER APPLICABLE TAXES We deduct a charge designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state. Generally, we deduct the charge from the amount applied to provide an annuity payout option. The current tax charge that might be imposed varies by jurisdiction and ranges from 0% to 3.5%. VARIABLE IMMEDIATE ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTION ADMINISTRATIVE FEE We deduct a fee of $350 from the amount to be applied to the Variable Immediate Annuity payout option. This option may not be available at the time you elect to begin receiving annuity payouts or it may have a different charge. CHARGES THAT THE TRUSTS DEDUCT The Trusts deduct charges for the following types of fees and expenses: o Management fees. o 12b-1 fees of 0.25%. o Operating expenses, such as trustees' fees, independent auditors' fees, legal counsel fees, administrative service fees, custodian fees, and liability insurance. o Investment-related expenses, such as brokerage commissions. These charges are reflected in the daily share price of each portfolio. Since shares of each Trust are purchased at their net asset value, these fees and expenses are, in effect, passed on to the variable investment options and are reflected in their unit values. Certain portfolios available under the contract in turn invest in shares of other portfolios of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust (collectively, the "underlying portfolios"). The underlying portfolios each have their own fees and expenses, including management fees, operating expenses, and investment related expenses such as brokerage commissions. For more information about these charges, please refer to the prospectuses for the Trusts. GROUP OR SPONSORED ARRANGEMENTS For certain group or sponsored arrangements, we may reduce the withdrawal charge or the mortality and expense risks charge, or change the minimum contribution requirements. We also may change the minimum death benefit or offer variable investment options that invest in shares of a Trust that are not subject to the 12b-1 fee. Group arrangements include those in which a trustee or an employer, for example, purchases contracts covering a group of individuals on a group basis. Group arrangements are not available for traditional IRA and Roth IRA contracts. Sponsored arrangements include those in which an employer allows us to sell contracts to its employees or retirees on an individual basis. Our costs for sales, administration, and mortality generally vary with the size and stability of the group or sponsoring organization, among other factors. We take all these factors into account when reducing Charges and expenses 35 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green charges. To qualify for reduced charges, a group or sponsored arrangement must meet certain requirements, such as requirements for size and number of years in existence. Group or sponsored arrangements that have been set up solely to buy contracts or that have been in existence less than six months will not qualify for reduced charges. We also may establish different rates to maturity for the fixed maturity options under different classes of contracts for group or sponsored arrangements. We will make these and any similar reductions according to our rules in effect when we approve a contract for issue. We may change these rules from time to time. Any variation will reflect differences in costs or services and will not be unfairly discriminatory. Group or sponsored arrangements may be governed by federal income tax rules, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or both. We make no representations with regard to the impact of these and other applicable laws on such programs. We recommend that employers, trustees, and others purchasing or making contracts available for purchase under such programs seek the advice of their own legal and benefits advisers. OTHER DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS We may reduce or eliminate charges when sales are made in a manner that results in savings of sales and administrative expenses, such as sales through persons who are compensated by clients for recommending investments and who receive no commission or reduced commissions in connection with the sale of the contracts. We will not permit a reduction or elimination of charges where it will be unfairly discriminatory. 36 Charges and expenses To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 6. Payment of death benefit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR BENEFICIARY AND PAYMENT OF BENEFIT You designate your beneficiary when you apply for your contract. You may change your beneficiary at any time. The change will be effective on the date the written request for the change is received in our processing office. We are not responsible for any beneficiary change request that we do not receive. We will send you a written confirmation when we receive your request. Under jointly owned contracts, the surviving owner is considered the beneficiary, and will take the place of any other beneficiary. DEATH BENEFIT The death benefit is equal to the greater of (i) the account value (without adjustment for any otherwise applicable negative market value adjustment) as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of the annuitant's death, any required instructions for the method of payment, information and forms necessary to effect payment or (ii) the "minimum death benefit." The minimum death benefit is equal to your total contributions, adjusted for withdrawals and any withdrawal charges, and any taxes that apply. HOW WITHDRAWALS AFFECT THE MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT Depending upon when and the state where your contract is issued, each withdrawal you make will reduce the amount of your current minimum death benefit on a pro rata basis. Reduction on a pro rata basis means that we calculate the percentage of your current account value that is being withdrawn and we reduce your current minimum death benefit by that same percentage. For example, if your account value is $30,000, and you withdraw $12,000 you have withdrawn 40% of your account value. If your minimum death benefit was $40,000 before the withdrawal, it would be reduced by $16,000 ($40,000 x .40) and your new minimum death benefit after the withdrawal would be $24,000 ($40,000-$16,000). Check with your financial professional. EFFECT OF THE ANNUITANT'S DEATH If the annuitant dies before the annuity payments begin, we will pay the death benefit to your beneficiary. Generally, the death of the annuitant terminates the contract. However, if you are both the owner and the annuitant and your spouse is the sole primary beneficiary or the joint owner, the contract can be continued as discussed below under "Successor owner and annuitant." Only a spouse who is the sole primary beneficiary can be successor owner/annuitant. The determination of spousal status is made under applicable state law; however, in the event of a conflict between federal and state law, we follow federal rules. A beneficiary may be able to have limited ownership as discussed under "Beneficiary continuation option" below. SUCCESSOR OWNER AND ANNUITANT. For all contracts, your spouse can elect upon your death to continue the contract as the owner/annuitant and no death benefit is payable until the surviving spouse's death. If your surviving spouse decides to continue the contract, then as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the successor owner and annuitant feature, we will increase the account value to equal your minimum death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in the account value will be allocated to the investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. Thereafter, withdrawal charges will no longer apply to contributions made before your death. Withdrawal charges will apply if additional contributions are made. These additional contributions will be withdrawn only after all other amounts have been withdrawn. The minimum death benefit will continue to apply. WHEN AN NQ CONTRACT OWNER DIES BEFORE THE ANNUITANT Under certain conditions, the owner changes after the original owner's death for purposes of receiving federal tax law required distributions from the contract. When you are not the annuitant under an NQ contract and you die before annuity payments begin, unless you specify otherwise, we will automatically make the beneficiary you name to receive the death benefit upon the annuitant's death your successor owner. If you do not want this beneficiary also to be the successor owner, you should name a specific successor owner. You may name a successor owner at any time by sending satisfactory notice to our processing office. If the contract is jointly owned and the first owner to die is not the annuitant, the surviving owner becomes the sole contract owner. This person will be considered the successor owner for purposes of the distribution rules described in this section. Unless the surviving spouse of the owner who has died (or in the case of a joint ownership situation, the surviving spouse of the first owner to die) is the successor owner for this purpose, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed under the following rules: o the cash value of the contract must be fully paid to the successor owner (new owner) within five years after your death (or in a joint ownership situation, the death of the first owner to die). o the successor owner may instead elect to receive the cash value as a life annuity (or payments for a period certain of not longer than the new owner's life expectancy). Payments must begin within one year after the non-annuitant owner's death. Unless this alternative is elected, we will pay any cash value five years after your death (or the death of the first owner to die). If the surviving spouse is the successor owner or joint owner, the spouse may elect to continue the contract. No distributions are required as long as the surviving spouse and annuitant are living. An eligible successor owner, including a surviving joint owner after the first owner dies, may elect the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts discussed under "Beneficiary continuation option" below. The account value must be distributed no later than 5 years after the spouse's death. Payment of death benefit 37 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green HOW DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT IS MADE We will pay the death benefit to the beneficiary in the form of the annuity payout option you have chosen. If you have not chosen an annuity payout option as of the time of the annuitant's death, the beneficiary will receive the death benefit in a single sum. However, subject to any exceptions in the contract, our rules and any applicable requirements under federal income tax rules, the beneficiary may elect to apply the death benefit to one or more annuity payout options we offer at the time. See "Your annuity payout options" in "Accessing your money" earlier in this prospectus. Please note that any annuity payout option chosen may not extend beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. If the beneficiary is a natural person (i.e., not an entity such as a corporation or a trust) and so elects, death benefit proceeds can be paid through the "AXA Equitable Access Account", an interest-bearing account with check-writing privileges. In that case, we will send the beneficiary a checkbook, and the beneficiary will have immediate access to the proceeds by writing a check for all or part of the amount of the death benefit proceeds. AXA Equitable will retain the funds until a check is presented for payment. Interest on the AXA Equitable Access Account is earned from the date we establish the account until the account is closed by your beneficiary or by us if the account balance falls below the minimum balance requirement, which is currently $1,000. The AXA Equitable Access Account is part of AXA Equitable's general account and is subject to the claims of our creditors. The AXA Equitable Access Account is not a bank account or a checking account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. We will receive any investment earnings during the period such amounts remain in the general account. BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION OPTION This feature permits a designated individual, on the contract owner's death, to maintain a contract with the deceased contract owner's name on it and receive distributions under the contract, instead of receiving the death benefit in a single sum. We make this option available to beneficiaries under traditional IRA, Roth IRA and NQ contracts. BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION OPTION FOR TRADITIONAL IRA AND ROTH IRA CONTRACTS ONLY. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congress has enacted a limited suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals only for calendar year 2009. No post-death required minimum distributions need to be made during 2009. For deaths occurring in 2008, the deadline for an eligible beneficiary to elect the beneficiary continuation option is September 30, 2010. Please note that for contract design administrative purposes, if the beneficiary continuation option is in effect, we will make distributions for calendar year 2009 unless the beneficiary requests in writing before we make the distribution that the beneficiary wants no required minimum distribution for calendar year 2009. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The beneficiary must elect this feature by September 30th of the year following the calendar year of your death and before any other inconsistent election is made. Beneficiaries who do not make a timely election will not be eligible for this option. If the election is made, then, as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the beneficiary continuation option feature, we will increase the account value to equal the applicable death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in account value will be allocated to the investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. Generally, payments will be made once a year to the beneficiary over the beneficiary's life expectancy (determined in the calendar year after your death and determined on a term certain basis). These payments must begin no later than December 31st of the calendar year after the year of your death. For sole spousal beneficiaries, payments may begin by December 31st of the calendar year in which you would have reached age 70-1/2, if such time is later. For traditional IRA contracts only, if you die before your Required Beginning Date for required minimum distributions as discussed in "Tax information" later in this prospectus, the beneficiary may choose the "5-year rule" instead of annual payments over life expectancy. The 5-year rule is always available to beneficiaries under Roth IRA contracts. If the beneficiary chooses this option, the beneficiary may take withdrawals as desired, but the entire account value must be fully withdrawn by December 31st of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of your death. Under the beneficiary continuation option for traditional IRA and Roth IRA contracts: o The contract continues with your name on it for the benefit of your beneficiary. o This feature is only available if the beneficiary is an individual. Certain trusts with only individual beneficiaries will be treated as individuals for this purpose. o If there is more than one beneficiary, each beneficiary's share will be separately accounted for. It will be distributed over the beneficiary's own life expectancy, if payments over life expectancy are chosen. o The minimum amount that is required in order to elect the beneficiary continuation option is $5,000 for each beneficiary. o The beneficiary may make transfers among the investment options but no additional contributions will be permitted. o The minimum death benefit will no longer be in effect. o The beneficiary may choose at any time to withdraw all or a por tion of the account value and no withdrawal charges will apply. o Any partial withdrawal must be at least $300. o Your beneficiary will have the right to name a beneficiary to receive any remaining interest in the contract. o Upon the death of your beneficiary, the beneficiary he or she has named has the option to either continue taking required minimum distributions based on the remaining life expectancy of the deceased beneficiary or to receive any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum. The option elected will be processed when we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions for the method of payment and any required information and forms necessary to effect payment. 38 Payment of death benefit To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION OPTION FOR NQ CONTRACTS ONLY. This feature, also known as the "inherited annuity," may only be elected when the NQ contract owner dies before the date annuity payments are to begin, whether or not the owner and the annuitant are the same person. If the owner and annuitant are different and the owner dies before the annuitant, for purposes of this discussion, "beneficiary" refers to the successor owner. For a discussion of successor owner, see "When an NQ contract owner dies before the annuitant" earlier in this section. This feature must be elected within 9 months following the date of your death and before any other inconsistent election is made. Beneficiaries who do not make a timely election will not be eligible for this option. Generally, payments will be made once a year to the beneficiary over the beneficiary's life expectancy, determined on a term certain basis and in the year payments start. These payments must begin no later than one year after the date of your death and are referred to as "scheduled payments." The beneficiary may choose the "5-year rule" instead of scheduled payments over life expectancy. If the beneficiary chooses the 5-year rule, there will be no scheduled payments. Under the 5-year rule, the beneficiary may take withdrawals as desired, but the entire account value must be fully withdrawn by the fifth anniversary of your death. Under the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts (regardless of whether the owner and annuitant are the same person): o This feature is only available if the beneficiary is an individual. It is not available for any entity such as a trust, even if all of the beneficiaries of the trust are individuals. o The contract continues with your name on it for the benefit of your beneficiary. o If there is more than one beneficiary, each beneficiary's share will be separately accounted for. It will be distributed over the respective beneficiary's own life expectancy, if scheduled payments are chosen. o The minimum amount that is required in order to elect the beneficiary continuation option is $5,000 for each beneficiary. o The beneficiary may make transfers among the investment options but no additional contributions will be permitted. o The minimum death benefit will no longer be in effect. o If the beneficiary chooses the "5-year rule," withdrawals may be made at any time. If the beneficiary chooses scheduled payments, the beneficiary must also choose between two potential withdrawal options at the time of election. "Withdrawal Option 1" permits total surrender only. "Withdrawal Option 2" permits the beneficiary to take withdrawals, in addition to scheduled payments, at any time. See "Taxation of nonqualified annuities" in "Tax information" later in this prospectus. o Any partial withdrawal must be at least $300. o Your beneficiary will have the right to name a beneficiary to receive any remaining interest in the contract on the beneficiary's death. o Upon the death of your beneficiary, the beneficiary that he or she has named has the option to either continue taking scheduled payments based on the remaining life expectancy of the deceased beneficiary (if scheduled payments were chosen) or to receive any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum. We will pay any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum if your beneficiary elects the 5-year rule. The option elected will be processed when we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions for the method of payment and any required information and forms necessary to effect payment. If you are both the owner and annuitant: o As of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the beneficiary continuation option feature, we will increase the account value to equal the minimum death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in account value will be allocated to the investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. o No withdrawal charges will apply to any withdrawals by the beneficiary. If the owner and annuitant are not the same person: o If the beneficiary continuation option is elected, the beneficiary automatically becomes the new annuitant of the contract, replacing the existing annuitant. o The account value will not be reset to the death benefit amount. o The withdrawal charge schedule and free withdrawal amount on the contract will continue to be applied to any withdrawal or surrender other than scheduled payments. o We do not impose a withdrawal charge on scheduled payments except if, when added to any withdrawals previously taken in the same contract year, including for this purpose a contract surrender, the total amount of withdrawals and scheduled payments exceeds the free withdrawal amount. See "Withdrawal charge" in "Charges and expenses" earlier in this prospectus. If a contract is jointly owned: o The surviving owner supersedes any other named beneficiary and may elect the beneficiary continuation option. o If the deceased joint owner was also the annuitant, see "If you are both the owner and annuitant" above. o If the deceased joint owner was not the annuitant, see "If the owner and annuitant are not the same person" above.

Tax information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW In this part of the prospectus, we discuss the current federal income tax rules that generally apply to EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contracts owned by United States individual taxpayers. The tax rules can differ, depending on the type of contract, whether NQ, traditional IRA or Roth IRA. Therefore, we discuss the tax aspects of each type of contract separately. Federal income tax rules include the United States laws in the Internal Revenue Code, and Treasury Department Regulations and Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code. These tax rules may change without notice. We cannot predict whether, when, or how these rules could change. Any change could affect contracts purchased before the change. Congress may also consider proposals in the future to comprehensively reform or overhaul the United States tax and retirement systems, which if enacted, could affect the tax benefits of a contract. We cannot predict what, if any, legislation will actually be proposed or enacted. We cannot provide detailed information on all tax aspects of the contracts. Moreover, the tax aspects that apply to a particular person's contract may vary depending on the facts applicable to that person. We do not discuss state income and other state taxes, federal income tax and withholding rules for non-U.S. taxpayers, or federal gift and estate taxes. Transfers of the contract, rights or values under the contract, or payments under the contract, for example, amounts due to beneficiaries, may be subject to federal or state gift, estate or inheritance taxes. You should not rely only on this document, but should consult your tax adviser before your purchase. BUYING A CONTRACT TO FUND A RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENT Generally, there are two types of funding vehicles that are available for Individual Retirement Arrangements ("IRAs"): an individual retirement annuity contract such as the ones offered in this prospectus, or an individual retirement custodial or trusteed account. How these arrangements work, including special rules applicable to each, are described in the specific sections for each type of arrangement, below. You should be aware that the funding vehicle for a tax-qualified arrangement does not provide any tax deferral benefit beyond that already provided by the Code for all permissible funding vehicles. Before choosing an annuity contract, therefore, you should consider the annuity's features and benefits, such as the guaranteed minimum death benefit, selection of variable investment options and fixed maturity options and choices of payout options of EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM), as well as the features and benefits of other permissible funding vehicles and the relative costs of annuities and other such arrangements. You should be aware that cost may vary depending on the features and benefits made available and the charges and expenses of the portfolios you elect. Certain provisions of the Treasury Regulations on required minimum distributions concerning the actuarial present value of additional contract benefits could increase the amount required to be distributed from individual retirement annuity contracts. For this purpose additional annuity contract benefits may include enhanced death benefits. You should consider the potential implication of these Regulations before you purchase this annuity contract. TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS You can make transfers among investment options inside the contract without triggering taxable income. TAXATION OF NONQUALIFIED ANNUITIES CONTRIBUTIONS You may not deduct the amount of your contributions to a nonqualified annuity contract. CONTRACT EARNINGS Generally, you are not taxed on contract earnings until you receive a distribution from your contract, whether as a withdrawal or as an annuity payment. However, earnings are taxable, even without a distribution: o if a contract fails investment diversification requirements as specified in federal income tax rules (these rules are based on or are similar to those specified for mutual funds under securities laws); o if you transfer a contract, for example, as a gift to someone other than your spouse (or former spouse); o if you use a contract as security for a loan (in this case, the amount pledged will be treated as a distribution); and o if the owner is other than an individual (such as a corporation, partnership, trust, or other non-natural person). This provision does not apply to a trust which is a mere agent or nominee for an individual, such as a grantor trust. All nonqualified deferred annuity contracts that AXA Equitable and its affiliates issue to you during the same calendar year are linked together and treated as one contract for calculating the taxable amount of any distribution from any of those contracts. ANNUITY PAYMENTS Once annuity payments begin, a portion of each payment is taxable as ordinary income. You get back the remaining portion without paying taxes on it. This is your "investment in the contract." Generally, your investment in the contract equals the contributions you made, less any amounts you previously withdrew that were not taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the tax-free portion of each payment is determined by (1) dividing your investment in the contract by the total 40 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green amount you are expected to receive out of the contract, and (2) multiplying the result by the amount of the payment. For variable annuity payments, your tax-free portion of each payment is your investment in the contract divided by the number of expected payments. Once you have received the amount of your investment in the contract, all payments after that are fully taxable. If payments under a life annuity stop because the annuitant dies, there is an income tax deduction for any unrecovered investment in the contract. In order to get annuity payment tax treatment described here, all amounts under the contract must be applied to the annuity payout option; we do not "partially annuitize" nonqualified deferred annuity contracts. WITHDRAWALS MADE BEFORE ANNUITY PAYMENTS BEGIN If you make withdrawals before annuity payments begin under your contract, they are taxable to you as ordinary income if there are earnings in the contract. Generally, earnings are your account value less your investment in the contract. If you withdraw an amount which is more than the earnings in the contract as of the date of the withdrawal, the balance of the distribution is treated as a return of your investment in the contract and is not taxable. CONTRACTS PURCHASED THROUGH EXCHANGES You may purchase your NQ contract through an exchange of another contract. Normally, exchanges of contracts are taxable events. The exchange will not be taxable under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code if: o the contract that is the source of the funds you are using to purchase the NQ contract is another nonqualified deferred annuity contract (or life insurance or endowment contract). o the owner and the annuitant are the same under the source contract and the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) NQ contract. If you are using a life insurance or endowment contract the owner and the insured must be the same on both sides of the exchange transaction. The tax basis, also referred to as your investment in your contract of the source contract carries over to the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) NQ contract. An owner may direct the proceeds of a partial withdrawal from one nonqualified deferred annuity contract to a different insurer to purchase a new nonqualified deferred annuity contract on a tax-deferred basis. Special forms, agreements between the carriers, and provision of cost basis information may be required to process this type of exchange. Section 1035 exchanges are generally not available after the death of the owner. SURRENDERS If you surrender or cancel the contract, the distribution is taxable as ordinary income (not capital gain) to the extent it exceeds your investment in the contract. BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION OPTION We have received a private letter ruling from the IRS regarding certain tax consequences of scheduled payments under the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts. See the discussion of the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts earlier in this prospectus. Among other things, the IRS rules that: o scheduled payments under the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts satisfy the death of owner rules of Section 72(s)(2) of the Code, regardless of whether the beneficiary elects Withdrawal Option 1 or Withdrawal Option 2; o scheduled payments, any additional withdrawals under With drawal Option 2, or contract surrenders under Withdrawal Option 1 will only be taxable to the beneficiary when amounts are actually paid, regardless of the Withdrawal Option selected by the beneficiary; o a beneficiary who irrevocably elects scheduled payments with Withdrawal Option 1 will receive "excludable amount" tax treatment on scheduled payments. See "Annuity payments" earlier in this section. If the beneficiary elects to surrender the contract before all scheduled payments are paid, the amount received upon surrender is a non-annuity payment taxable to the extent it exceeds any remaining investment in the contract. The ruling specifically does not address the taxation of any payments received by a beneficiary electing Withdrawal Option 2 (whether scheduled payments or any withdrawal that might be taken). The tax treatment of a withdrawal after the death of the owner taken as a single sum or taken as withdrawals under the 5-year rule is generally the same as the tax treatment of a withdrawal from or surrender of your contract. DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS MADE TO A BENEFICIARY AFTER YOUR DEATH For the rules applicable to death benefits, see "Payment of death benefit" earlier in this prospectus. The tax treatment of a death benefit taken as a single sum is generally the same as the tax treatment of a withdrawal from or surrender of your contract. The tax treatment of a death benefit taken as annuity payments is generally the same as the tax treatment of annuity payments under your contract. EARLY DISTRIBUTION PENALTY TAX If you take distributions before you are age 59-1/2 a penalty tax of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution applies in addition to the income tax. Some of the available exceptions to the pre-age 59-1/2 penalty tax include distributions made: o on or after your death; or o because you are disabled (special federal income tax definition); or o in the form of substantially equal periodic annuity payments for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of you and a beneficiary, in accordance with IRS formulas. Tax information 41 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green INVESTOR CONTROL ISSUES Under certain circumstances, the IRS has stated that you could be treated as the owner (for tax purposes) of the assets of Separate Account A. If you were treated as the owner, you would be taxed on income and gains attributable to the shares of the underlying portfolios. The circumstances that would lead to this tax treatment would be that, in the opinion of the IRS, you could control the underlying investment of Separate Account A. Recently, the IRS has said that the owners of variable annuities will not be treated as owning the separate account assets provided the underlying portfolios are restricted to variable life and annuity assets. The variable annuity owners must have the right only to choose among the portfolios, and must have no right to direct the particular investment decisions within the portfolios. Although we believe that, under current IRS guidance, you would not be treated as the owner of the assets of Separate Account A, there are some issues that remain unclear. For example, the IRS has not issued any guidance as to whether having a larger number of portfolios available, or an unlimited right to transfer among them, could cause you to be treated as the owner. We do not know whether the IRS will ever provide such guidance or whether such guidance, if unfavorable, would apply retroactively to your contract. Furthermore, the IRS could reverse its current guidance at any time. We reserve the right to modify your contract as necessary to prevent you from being treated as the owner of the assets of Separate Account A. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENTS ("IRAS") GENERAL "IRA" stands for individual retirement arrangement. There are two basic types of such arrangements, individual retirement accounts and individual retirement annuities. In an individual retirement account, a trustee or custodian holds the assets funding the account for the benefit of the IRA owner. The assets typically include mutual funds and/or individual stocks and securities in a custodial account, and bank certificates of deposit in a trusteed account. In an individual retirement annuity, an insurance company issues an annuity contract that serves as the IRA. There are two basic types of IRAs, as follows: o traditional IRAs, typically funded on a pre-tax basis, including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs issued and funded in connection with employer-sponsored retirement plans. o Roth IRAs, funded on an after-tax basis. Regardless of the type of IRA, your ownership interest in the IRA cannot be forfeited. You or your beneficiaries who survive you are the only ones who can receive the IRA's benefits or payments. All types of IRAs qualify for tax deferral, regardless of the funding vehicle selected. You can hold your IRA assets in as many different accounts and annuities as you would like, as long as you meet the rules for setting up and making contributions to IRAs. However, if you own multiple IRAs, you may be required to combine IRA values or contributions for tax purposes. For further information about individual retirement arrangements, you can read Internal Revenue Service Publication 590 ("Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs)"). This publication is usually updated annually, and can be obtained from any IRS district office or the IRS website (www.irs.gov). AXA Equitable designs its IRA contracts to qualify as "individual retirement annuities" under Section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. We offer the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract in both traditional IRA and Roth IRA versions. This prospectus contains the information that the IRS requires you to have before you purchase an IRA. The first section covers some of the special tax rules that apply to traditional IRAs. The next section covers Roth IRAs. The disclosure generally assumes direct ownership of the individual retirement annuity contracts. We describe the amount and types of charges that may apply to your contributions under "Charges and expenses" earlier in this prospectus. We describe the method of calculating payments under "Accessing your money" earlier in this prospectus. We do not guarantee or project growth in variable income annuitization option payments (as opposed to payments from a fixed income annuitization option). We have received an opinion letter from the IRS approving the respective forms of the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) traditional and Roth IRA contracts for use as a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA, respectively. We may no longer rely on the opinion letter for the Roth IRA. This IRS approval is a determination only as to the form of the annuity. It does not represent a determination of the merits of the annuity as an investment. The contracts submitted for IRS approval do not include every feature possibly available under the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) traditional and Roth IRA contracts. AXA Equitable has applied for opinion letters from the IRS to approve the respective forms of nearly identical versions of the Inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract for use as a traditional and Roth IRA, respectively. We do not know if and when any such approval may be granted. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL WITHIN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS You can cancel any version of the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) IRA contract (traditional IRA or Roth IRA) by following the directions under "Your right to cancel within a certain number of days" in "Contract features and benefits" earlier in this prospectus. You can cancel an EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) Roth IRA contract issued as a result of a full or partial conversion of any EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) traditional IRA contract by following the instructions in the "EQUI-VEST(R) Roth IRA Re-Characterization Form." The form is available from our processing office or your financial professional. If you cancel a traditional IRA, or Roth IRA contract, we may have to withhold tax, and we must report the transaction to the IRS. A contract cancellation could have an unfavorable tax impact. TRADITIONAL INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES (TRADITIONAL IRAS) CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRADITIONAL IRAS. Generally, individuals may make three different types of contributions to purchase a traditional IRA or as additional contributions to an existing IRA: 42 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green o "regular" contributions out of earned income or compensation; or o tax-free "rollover" contributions; or o direct custodian-to-custodian transfers from other traditional IRAs ("direct transfers"). REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRADITIONAL IRAS LIMITS ON CONTRIBUTIONS. The "maximum regular contribution amount" for any taxable year is the most that can be contributed to all of your IRAs (traditional and Roth) as regular contributions for the particular taxable year. The maximum regular contribution amount depends on age, earnings, and year, among other things. Generally, $5,000 is the maximum amount that you may contribute to all IRAs (including Roth IRAs). When your earnings are below $5,000, your earned income or compensation for the year is the most you can contribute. This limit does not apply to rollover contributions or direct custodian-to-custodian transfers into a traditional IRA. You cannot make regular traditional IRA contributions for the taxable year in which you reach age 70-1/2 or any taxable year after that. If you are at least age 50 at any time during the taxable year for which you are making a regular contribution to your IRA, you may be eligible to make additional "catch up contributions" of up to $1,000 to your traditional IRA. SPECIAL RULES FOR SPOUSES. If you are married and file a joint income tax return, you and your spouse may combine your compensation to determine the amount of regular contributions you are permitted to make to traditional IRAs (and Roth IRAs discussed below). Even if one spouse has no compensation, or compensation under $5,000, married individuals filing jointly can contribute up to $10,000 per year to any combination of traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Any contributions to Roth IRAs reduce the ability to contribute to traditional IRAs and vice versa. The maximum amount may be less if earned income is less and the other spouse has made IRA contributions. No more than a combined total of $5,000 can be contributed annually to either spouse's traditional and Roth IRAs. Each spouse owns his or her traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs even if the other spouse funded the contributions. A working spouse age 70-1/2 or over can contribute up to the lesser of $5,000 or 100% of "earned income" to a traditional IRA for a nonworking spouse until the year in which the nonworking spouse reaches age 70-1/2. Catch-up contributions may be made as described above for spouses who are at least age 50 but under age 70-1/2 at any time during the taxable year for which the contribution is being made. DEDUCTIBILITY OF CONTRIBUTIONS. The amount of traditional IRA contributions that you can deduct for a taxable year depends on whether you are covered by an employer-sponsored-tax-favored retirement plan, as defined under special federal income tax rules. Your Form W-2 will indicate whether or not you are covered by such a retirement plan. If you are not covered by a retirement plan during any part of the year, you can make fully deductible contributions to your traditional IRAs for the taxable year up to the maximum amount discussed above under "Limits on contributions." That is, your fully deductible contribution can be up to $5,000, or if less, your earned income. The dollar limit is $6,000 for people eligible to make age 50-70-1/2 catch-up contributions. If you are covered by a retirement plan during any part of the year, and your adjusted gross income (AGI) is below the lower dollar figure in a phase-out range, you can make fully deductible contributions to your traditional IRAs. If you are covered by a retirement plan during any part of the year, and your AGI falls within a phase-out range, you can make partially deductible contributions to your traditional IRAs. If you are covered by a retirement plan during any part of the year, and your AGI falls above the higher figure in the phase-out range, you may not deduct any of your regular contributions to your traditional IRAs. Cost of living adjustments apply to the income limits on deductible contributions. If you are single and covered by a retirement plan during any part of the taxable year, the deduction for traditional IRA contributions phases out with AGI between $50,000 and $60,000 (for 2009, AGI between $55,000 and $65,000 after adjustment). If you are married and file a joint return, and you are covered by a retirement plan during any part of the taxable year, the deduction for traditional IRA contributions phases out with AGI between $80,000 and $100,000 (for 2009, AGI between $89,000 and $109,000 after adjustment). Married individuals filing separately and living apart at all times are not considered married for purposes of this deductible contribution calculation. Generally, the active participation in an employer-sponsored retirement plan of an individual is determined independently for each spouse. Where spouses have "married filing jointly" status, however, the maximum deductible traditional IRA contribution for an individual who is not an active participant (but whose spouse is an active participant) is phased out for taxpayers with AGI of between $150,000 and $160,000 (for 2009, AGI between $166,000 and $176,000 after adjustment). To determine the deductible amount of the contribution for 2009, for example, you determine AGI and subtract $55,000 if you are single, or $89,000 if you are married and file a joint return with your spouse. The resulting amount is your excess AGI. You then determine the limit on the deduction for traditional IRA contributions using the following formula: ($10,000-excess AGI) times the maximum equals the adjusted ---------------------- x regular contribution = deductible divided by $10,000 amount for the year contribution discussed above limit Tax information 43 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green ADDITIONAL "SAVER'S CREDIT" FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO A TRADITIONAL IRA OR ROTH IRA You may be eligible for a nonrefundable income tax credit for contributions you make to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA. If you qualify, you may take this credit even though your traditional IRA contribution is already fully or partially deductible. To take advantage of this "saver's credit" you must be age 18 or over before the end of the taxable year for which the contribution is made. You cannot be a full-time student or claimed as a dependent on another's tax return, and your adjusted gross income cannot exceed $55,000 for 2009 after cost of living adjustments. The amount of the tax credit you can get varies from 10% of your contribution to 50% of your contribution, and depends on your income tax filing status and your adjusted gross income. The maximum annual contribution eligible for the saver's credit is $2,000. If you and your spouse file a joint return, and each of you qualifies, each is eligible for a maximum annual contribution of $2,000. Your saver's credit may also be reduced if you take or have taken a taxable distribution from any plan eligible for a saver's credit contribution -- even if you make a contribution to one plan and take the distribution from another plan -- during the "testing period." The "testing period" begins two years before the year for which you make the contribution and ends when your tax return is due, including extensions, for the year for which you make the contribution. Saver's-credit-eligible contributions may be made to a 401(k) plan, 403(b) plan, governmental employer 457(b) plan, SIMPLE IRA, or SARSEP IRA, as well as a traditional IRA or Roth IRA. NONDEDUCTIBLE REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS. If you are not eligible to deduct part or all of the traditional IRA contribution, you may still make nondeductible contributions on which earnings will accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. The combined deductible and nondeductible contributions to your traditional IRA (or the nonworking spouse's traditional IRA) may not, however, exceed the maximum $5,000 per person limit for the applicable taxable year. The dollar limit is $6,000 for people eligible to make age 50-70-1/2 "catch-up" contributions. See "Excess contributions" below. You must keep your own records of deductible and nondeductible contributions in order to prevent double taxation on the distribution of previously taxed amounts. See "Withdrawals, payments and transfers of funds out of traditional IRAs" below. If you are making nondeductible contributions in any taxable year, or you have made nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA in prior years and are receiving distributions from any traditional IRA, you must file the required information with the IRS. Moreover, if you are making nondeductible traditional IRA contributions, you must retain all income tax returns and records pertaining to such contributions until interests in all traditional IRAs are fully distributed. WHEN YOU CAN MAKE REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS. If you file your tax returns on a calendar year basis like most taxpayers, you have until the April 15 return filing deadline (without extensions) of the following calendar year to make your regular traditional IRA contributions for a tax year. ROLLOVER AND TRANSFER CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRADITIONAL IRAS Rollover contributions may be made to a traditional IRA from these "eligible retirement plans": o qualified plans; o governmental employer 457(b) plans, also referred to as "governmental employer EDC plans"; o 403(b) plans; and o other traditional IRAs. Direct transfer contributions may only be made directly from one traditional IRA to another. Any amount contributed to a traditional IRA after you reach age 70-1/2 must be net of your required minimum distribution for the year in which the rollover or direct transfer contribution is made. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During calendar year 2009 only, due to the temporary suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals, you may be able to roll over to a traditional IRA a distribution that normally would not be eligible to be rolled over. Please note that distributions from inherited IRAs made to beneficiaries may not be rolled over once distributed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROLLOVERS FROM "ELIGIBLE RETIREMENT PLANS" OTHER THAN TRADITIONAL IRAS Your plan administrator will tell you whether or not your distribution is eligible to be rolled over. Spousal beneficiaries and spousal alternate payees under qualified domestic relations orders may roll over funds on the same basis as the plan participant. A non-spousal death beneficiary may also be able to make a direct rollover to an inherited traditional IRA under certain circumstances. There are two ways to do rollovers: o Do it yourself: You actually receive a distribution that can be rolled over and you roll it over to a traditional IRA within 60 days after the date you receive the funds. The distribution from your eligible retirement plan will be net of 20% mandatory federal income tax withholding. If you want, you can replace the withheld funds yourself and roll over the full amount. o Direct rollover: You tell the trustee or custodian of the eligible retirement plan to send the distribution directly to your traditional IRA issuer. Direct rollovers are not subject to mandatory federal income tax withholding. 44 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green All distributions from a 403(b) plan, qualified plan or governmental employer 457(b) plan are eligible rollover distributions, unless the distribution is: o (for every year except 2009) "a required minimum distribution" after age 70-1/2 or retirement; or o one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made at least annually for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated beneficiary; or o one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made for a specified period of 10 years or more; or o a hardship withdrawal; or o a corrective distribution which fits specified technical tax rules; or o a loan that is treated as a distribution; or o a death benefit payment to a beneficiary who is not your surviving spouse; or o a qualified domestic relations order distribution to a beneficiary who is not your current or former spouse. You should discuss with your tax adviser whether you should consider rolling over funds from one type of tax qualified retirement plan to another, because the funds will generally be subject to the rules of the recipient plan. For example, funds in a governmental employer 457(b) plan are not subject to the additional 10% federal income tax penalty for premature distributions, but they may become subject to this penalty if you roll the funds to a different type of eligible retirement plan, such as a traditional IRA, and subsequently take a premature distribution. ROLLOVERS OF AFTER-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ELIGIBLE RETIREMENT PLANS OTHER THAN TRADITIONAL IRAS Any non-Roth after-tax contributions you have made to a qualified plan or 403(b) plan (but not a governmental employer 457(b) plan) may be rolled over to a traditional IRA (either in a direct rollover or a rollover you do yourself). When the recipient plan is a traditional IRA, you are responsible for recordkeeping and calculating the taxable amount of any distributions you take from that traditional IRA. See "Taxation of payments" later in this prospectus under "Withdrawals, payments and transfers of funds out of traditional IRAs." After-tax contributions in a traditional IRA cannot be rolled over from your traditional IRA into, or back into, a qualified plan, 403(b) plan or governmental employer 457(b) plan. ROLLOVERS FROM TRADITIONAL IRAS TO TRADITIONAL IRAS You may roll over amounts from one traditional IRA to one or more of your other traditional IRAs if you complete the transaction within 60 days after you receive the funds. You may make such a rollover only once in every 12-month period for the same funds. Trustee-to-trustee or custodian-to-custodian direct transfers are not rollover transactions. You can make these more frequently than once in every 12-month period. SPOUSAL ROLLOVERS AND DIVORCE-RELATED DIRECT TRANSFERS The surviving spousal beneficiary of a deceased individual can roll over funds from, or directly transfer funds from, an inherited traditional IRA to one or more other traditional IRAs. A non-spousal death beneficiary may also be able to make a direct rollover to an inherited traditional IRA under certain circumstances. Also, in some cases, traditional IRAs can be transferred on a tax-free basis between spouses or former spouses as a result of a court ordered divorce or separation decree. EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS Excess contributions to IRAs are subject to a 6% excise tax for the year in which made and for each year after until withdrawn. The following are excess contributions to IRAs: o regular contributions of more than the maximum regular contribution amount for the applicable taxable year; or o regular contributions to a traditional IRA made after you reach age 70-1/2; or o rollover contributions of amounts which are not eligible to be rolled over, for example, minimum distributions required to be made after age 70-1/2, (for every year except 2009). You can avoid the excise tax by withdrawing an excess contribution (rollover or regular) before the due date (including extensions) for filing your federal income tax return for the year. If it is an excess regular traditional IRA contribution, you cannot take a tax deduction for the amount withdrawn. You do not have to include the excess contribution withdrawn as part of your income. It is also not subject to the 10% additional penalty tax on early distributions, discussed below under "Early distribution penalty tax." You do have to withdraw any earnings that are attributed to the excess contribution. The withdrawn earnings would be included in your gross income and could be subject to the 10% penalty tax. Even after the due date for filing your return, you may withdraw an excess rollover contribution, without income inclusion or 10% penalty, if: (1) the rollover was from an eligible retirement plan to a traditional IRA; (2) the excess contribution was due to incorrect information that the plan provided; and (3) you took no tax deduction for the excess contribution. RECHARACTERIZATIONS Amounts that have been contributed as traditional IRA funds may subsequently be treated as Roth IRA funds. Special federal income tax rules allow you to change your mind again and have amounts that are subsequently treated as Roth IRA funds, once again treated as traditional IRA funds. You do this by using the forms we prescribe. This is referred to as having "recharacterized" your contribution. Tax information 45 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green WITHDRAWALS, PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS OF FUNDS OUT OF TRADITIONAL IRAS NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW RESTRICTIONS ON WITHDRAWALS. You can withdraw any or all of your funds from a traditional IRA at any time. You do not need to wait for a special event like retirement. TAXATION OF PAYMENTS. Earnings in traditional IRAs are not subject to federal income tax until you or your beneficiary receive them. Taxable payments or distributions include withdrawals from your contract, surrender of your contract, and annuity payments from your contract. Death benefits are also taxable. Except as discussed below, the total amount of any distribution from a traditional IRA must be included in your gross income as ordinary income. We report all payments from traditional IRA contracts on IRS Form 1099-R as fully taxable. If you have ever made nondeductible IRA contributions to any traditional IRA (it does not have to be to this particular traditional IRA contract), those contributions are recovered tax free when you get distributions from any traditional IRA. It is your responsibility to keep permanent tax records of all of your nondeductible contributions to traditional IRAs so that you can correctly report the taxable amount of any distribution on your own tax return. At the end of any year in which you have received a distribution from any traditional IRA, you calculate the ratio of your total nondeductible traditional IRA contributions (less any amounts previously withdrawn tax free) to the total account balances of all traditional IRAs you own at the end of the year plus all traditional IRA distributions made during the year. Multiply this by all distributions from the traditional IRA during the year to determine the nontaxable portion of each distribution. A distribution from a traditional IRA is not taxable if: o the amount received is a withdrawal of excess contributions, as described under "Excess contributions" above; or o the entire amount received is rolled over to another traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan which agrees to accept the funds. (See "Rollovers from eligible retirement plans other than traditional IRAs" under "Rollover and transfer contributions to traditional IRAs" above.) The following are eligible to receive rollovers of distributions from a traditional IRA: a qualified plan, a 403(b) plan or a governmental employer 457 plan. After-tax contributions in a traditional IRA cannot be rolled from your traditional IRA into, or back into, a qualified plan, 403(b) plan or governmental employer 457 plan. Before you decide to roll over a distribution from a traditional IRA to another eligible retirement plan, you should check with the administrator of that plan about whether the plan accepts rollovers and, if so, the types it accepts. You should also check with the administrator of the receiving plan about any documents required to be completed before it will accept a rollover. Distributions from a traditional IRA are not eligible for favorable ten-year averaging and long-term capital gain treatment available under limited circumstances for certain distributions from qualified plans. If you might be eligible for such tax treatment from your qualified plan, you may be able to preserve such tax treatment even though an eligible rollover from a qualified plan is temporarily rolled into a "conduit IRA" before being rolled back into a qualified plan. See your tax adviser. Certain distributions from IRA's in 2009 directly transferred to charitable organizations may be tax-free to IRA owners age 70-1/2 or older. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS BACKGROUND ON REGULATIONS -- REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION. Distributions must be made from traditional IRAs according to rules contained in the Code and Treasury Regulations. Certain provisions of the Treasury Regulations require that the actuarial present value of additional annuity contract benefits must be added to the dollar amount credited for purposes of calculating certain types of required minimum distributions from individual retirement annuity contracts. For this purpose additional annuity contract benefits may include enhanced death benefits. This could increase the amount required to be distributed from these contracts if you take annual withdrawals instead of receiving annuity payments. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congress has enacted a limited suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals only for calendar year 2009. The suspension does not apply to annuity payments. The suspension does not affect the determination of the Required Beginning Date. Neither lifetime nor post-death required minimum distributions need to be made during 2009. Please note that if you have previously elected to have amounts automatically withdrawn from a contract to meet required minimum distribution rules (for example, our "required minimum distribution (RMD) automatic withdrawal option" or our "beneficiary continuation option" under a deceased individual's IRA contract) we will make distributions for calendar year 2009 unless you request in writing before we make the distribution that you want no required minimum distribution for calendar year 2009. If you receive a distribution which would have been a lifetime required minimum distribution (but for the 2009 suspension), you may preserve the tax deferral on the distribution by rolling it over within 60 days after you receive it to an IRA or other eligible retirement plan. Please note that any distribution to a nonspousal beneficiary which would have been a post-death required minimum distribution (but for the 2009 suspension) is not eligible for the 60-day rollover. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIFETIME REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. You must start taking annual distributions from your traditional IRAs for the year in which you turn age 70-1/2. When you have to take the first lifetime required minimum distribution. The first required minimum distribution is for the calendar year in which you turn age 70-1/2. You have the choice to take this first required minimum distribution during the calendar year you actually reach age 70-1/2, or to delay taking it until the first three-month period in the next calendar year (January 1 - April 1). Distributions must start no later than your "Required Beginning Date," which is April 1st of the calendar year after the calendar year in which you turn age 70-1/2. If you choose to delay taking the first annual minimum dis- 46 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green tribution, then you will have to take two minimum distributions in that year -- the delayed one for the first year and the one actually for that year. Once minimum distributions begin, they must be made at some time each year. HOW YOU CAN CALCULATE REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. There are two approaches to taking required minimum distributions -- "account-based" or "annuity-based." ACCOUNT-BASED METHOD. If you choose an account-based method, you divide the value of your traditional IRA as of December 31st of the past calendar year by a number corresponding to your age from an IRS table. This gives you the required minimum distribution amount for that particular IRA for that year. If your spouse is your sole beneficiary and more than 10 years younger than you, the dividing number you use may be from another IRS table and may produce a smaller lifetime required minimum distribution amount. Regardless of the table used, the required minimum distribution amount will vary each year as the account value, the actuarial present value of additional annuity contract benefits, if applicable, and the divisor change. If you initially choose an account-based method, you may later apply your traditional IRA funds to a life annuity-based payout with any certain period not exceeding remaining life expectancy, determined in accordance with IRS tables. ANNUITY-BASED METHOD. If you choose an annuity-based method, you do not have to do annual calculations. You apply the account value to an annuity payout for your life or the joint lives of you and a designated beneficiary, or for a period certain not extending beyond applicable life expectancies, determined in accordance with IRS tables. DO YOU HAVE TO PICK THE SAME METHOD TO CALCULATE YOUR REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS FOR ALL OF YOUR TRADITIONAL IRAS AND OTHER RETIREMENT PLANS? No. If you want, you can choose a different method for each of your traditional IRAs and other retirement plans. For example, you can choose an annuity payout from one IRA, a different annuity payout from a qualified plan, and an account-based annual withdrawal from another IRA. WILL WE PAY YOU THE ANNUAL AMOUNT EVERY YEAR FROM YOUR TRADITIONAL IRA BASED ON THE METHOD YOU CHOOSE? We will only pay you automatically if you affirmatively select an annuity payout option or an account-based withdrawal option such as our minimum distribution withdrawal option. If you do not elect one of these options, we will calculate the amount of the required minimum distribution withdrawal for you, if you so request in writing. However, in that case you will be responsible for asking us to pay the required minimum distribution withdrawal to you. Also, the IRS will let you calculate the required minimum distribution for each traditional IRA that you maintain, using the method that you picked for that particular IRA. You can add these required minimum distribution amount calculations together. As long as the total amount you take out every year satisfies your overall traditional IRA required minimum distribution amount, you may choose to take your annual required minimum distribution from any one or more traditional IRAs that you own. WHAT IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN YOU NEED TO FOR ANY YEAR? The required minimum distribution amount for your traditional IRAs is calculated on a year-by-year basis. There are no carry-back or carry-forward provisions. Also, you cannot apply required minimum distribution amounts you take from your qualified plans to the amounts you have to take from your traditional IRAs and vice versa. WHAT IF YOU TAKE LESS THAN YOU NEED TO FOR ANY YEAR? Your IRA could be disqualified, and you could have to pay tax on the entire value. Even if your IRA is not disqualified, you could have to pay a 50% penalty tax on the shortfall (required amount for traditional IRAs less amount actually taken). It is your responsibility to meet the required minimum distribution rules. We will remind you when our records show that you are within the age group which must take lifetime required minimum distributions. If you do not select a method with us, we will assume you are taking your required minimum distribution from another traditional IRA that you own. WHAT ARE THE REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PAYMENTS AFTER YOU DIE? These could vary depending on whether you die before or after your Required Beginning Date for lifetime required minimum distribution payments, and the status of your beneficiary. The following assumes that you have not yet elected an annuity-based payout at the time of your death. If you elect an annuity-based payout, payments (if any) after your death must be made at least as rapidly as when you were alive. INDIVIDUAL BENEFICIARY. Regardless of whether your death occurs before or after your Required Beginning Date, an individual death beneficiary calculates annual post-death required minimum distribution payments based on the beneficiary's life expectancy using the "term certain method." That is, he or she determines his or her life expectancy using the IRS-provided life expectancy tables as of the calendar year after the owner's death and reduces that number by one each subsequent year. If you die before your Required Beginning Date, the rules permit any individual beneficiary, including a spousal beneficiary, to elect instead to apply the "5-year rule." Under this rule, instead of annual payments having to be made beginning with the first in the year following the owner's death, the entire account must be distributed by the end of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the owner's death. No distribution is required before that fifth year. SPOUSAL BENEFICIARY. If you die after your Required Beginning Date, and your death beneficiary is your surviving spouse, your spouse has a number of choices. Post-death distributions may be made over your spouse's single life expectancy. Any amounts distributed after that surviving spouse's death are made over the spouse's life expectancy calculated in the year of his/her death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. In some circumstances, your surviving spouse may elect to become the owner of the traditional IRA and halt distributions until he or she reaches age 70-1/2, or roll over amounts from your traditional IRA into his/her own traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan. If you die before your Required Beginning Date, and the death beneficiary is your surviving spouse, the rules permit the spouse to delay starting payments over his/her life expectancy until the year in which you would have attained age 70-1/2. NON-INDIVIDUAL BENEFICIARY. If you die after your Required Beginning Date, and your death beneficiary is a non-individual, such as the Tax information 47 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green estate, the rules permit the beneficiary to calculate post-death required minimum distribution amounts based on the owner's life expectancy in the year of death. However, note that we need an individual annuitant to keep an annuity contract in force. If the beneficiary is not an individual, we must distribute amounts remaining in the annuity contract after the death of the annuitant. If you die before your Required Beginning Date for lifetime required minimum distribution payments, and the death beneficiary is a non-individual, such as the estate, the rules continue to apply the 5-year rule discussed above under "Individual beneficiary." Please note that we need an individual annuitant to keep an annuity contract in force. If the beneficiary is not an individual, we must distribute amounts remaining in the annuity contract after the death of the annuitant. SUCCESSOR OWNER AND ANNUITANT If your spouse is the sole primary beneficiary and elects to become the successor owner and annuitant, no death benefit is payable until your surviving spouse's death. The required minimum distribution rules are applied as if your surviving spouse is the contract owner. PAYMENTS TO A BENEFICIARY AFTER YOUR DEATH IRA death benefits are taxed the same as IRA distributions. BORROWING AND LOANS ARE PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS You cannot get loans from a traditional IRA. You cannot use a traditional IRA as collateral for a loan or other obligation. If you borrow against your IRA or use it as collateral, its tax-favored status will be lost as of the first day of the tax year in which this prohibited event occurs. If this happens, you must include the value of the traditional IRA in your federal gross income. Also, the early distribution penalty tax of 10% may apply if you have not reached age 59-1/2 before the first day of that tax year. EARLY DISTRIBUTION PENALTY TAX A penalty tax of 10% of the taxable portion of a distribution applies to distributions from a traditional IRA made before you reach age 59-1/2. Some of the available exceptions to the pre-age 59-1/2 penalty tax include distributions made: o on or after your death; or o because you are disabled (special federal income tax definition); or o to pay for certain extraordinary medical expenses (special federal income tax definition); or o to pay medical insurance premiums for unemployed individuals (special federal income tax definition); or o to pay certain first-time home buyer expenses (special federal income tax definition); or o to pay certain higher education expenses (special federal income tax definition -- there is a $10,000 lifetime total limit for these distributions from all your traditional and Roth IRAs); or o in the form of substantially equal periodic payments made at least annually over your life (or your life expectancy), or over the joint lives of you and your beneficiary (or your joint life expectancy) using an IRS-approved distribution method. ROTH INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES ("ROTH IRAS") This section of the prospectus covers some of the special tax rules that apply to Roth IRAs. If the rules are the same as those that apply to the traditional IRA, we will refer you to the same topic under "Traditional IRAs." The EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) Roth IRA contracts are designed to qualify as Roth individual retirement annuities under Sections 408A(b) and 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. CONTRIBUTIONS TO ROTH IRAS Individuals may make four different types of contributions to a Roth IRA: o regular after-tax contributions out of earnings; or o taxable rollover contributions from traditional IRAs or other eligible retirement plans ("conversion" rollover contributions); or o tax-free rollover contributions from other Roth individual retirement arrangements (or designated Roth accounts under defined contribution plans); or o tax-free direct custodian-to-custodian transfers from other Roth IRAs ("direct transfers"). If you use the forms we require, we will also accept traditional IRA funds which are subsequently recharacterized as Roth IRA funds following special federal income tax rules. REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO ROTH IRAS LIMITS ON REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS. The "maximum regular contribution amount" for any taxable year is the most that can be contributed to all of your IRAs (traditional and Roth) as regular contributions for the particular taxable year. The maximum regular contribution amount depends on age, earnings, and year, among other things. Generally, $5,000 is the maximum amount that you may contribute to all IRAs (including Roth IRAs). This limit does not apply to rollover contributions or direct custodian-to-custodian transfers into a Roth IRA. Any contributions to Roth IRAs reduce the ability to contribute to traditional IRAs and vice versa. When your earnings are below $5,000, your earned income or compensation for the year is the most you can contribute. If you are married and file a joint income tax return, you and your spouse may combine your compensation to determine the amount of regular contributions you are permitted to make to Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs. See the discussion above under "Special rules for spouses" earlier in this section under traditional IRAs. If you or your spouse are at least age 50 at any time during the taxable year for which you are making a regular contribution, you may be eligible to make additional catch-up contributions of up to $1,000. 48 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green With a Roth IRA, you can make regular contributions when you reach age 70-1/2, as long as you have sufficient earnings. But, you cannot make contributions, regardless of your age, for any year that your modified adjusted gross income exceeds the following amounts (indexed for cost of living adjustment): o your federal income tax filing status is "married filing jointly" and your modified adjusted gross income is over $160,000 (for 2009, $176,000 after adjustment); or o your federal income tax filing status is "single" and your modified adjusted gross income is over $110,000 (for 2009, $120,000 after adjustment). However, you can make regular Roth IRA contributions in reduced amounts when: o your federal income tax filing status is "married filing jointly" and your modified adjusted gross income is between $150,000 and $160,000 (for 2009, between $166,000 and $176,000 after adjustment); or o your federal income tax filing status is "single" and your modified adjusted gross income is between $95,000 and $110,000 (for 2009, between $105,000 and $120,000 after adjustment). If you are married and filing separately and your modified adjusted gross income is between $0 and $10,000 the amount of regular contribution you are permitted to make is phased out. If your modified adjusted gross income is more than $10,000 you cannot make a regular Roth IRA contribution. WHEN YOU CAN MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS? Same as traditional IRAs. DEDUCTIBILITY OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Roth IRA contributions are not tax deductible. ROLLOVERS AND DIRECT TRANSFERS WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROLLOVER AND DIRECT TRANSFER TRANSACTIONS? The difference between a rollover transaction and a direct transfer transaction is the following: in a rollover transaction you actually take possession of the funds rolled over, or are considered to have received them under tax law in the case of a change from one type of plan to another. In a direct transfer transaction, you never take possession of the funds, but direct the first Roth IRA custodian, trustee, or issuer to transfer the first Roth IRA funds directly to the recipient Roth IRA custodian, trustee or issuer. You can make direct transfer transactions only between identical plan types (for example, Roth IRA to Roth IRA). You can also make rollover transactions between identical plan types. However, you can only make rollovers between different plan types (for example, traditional IRA to Roth IRA). You may make rollover contributions to a Roth IRA from these sources only: o another Roth IRA; o a traditional IRA, including a SEP-IRA or SIMPLE IRA (after a two-year rollover limitation period for SIMPLE IRA funds), in a taxable conversion rollover ("conversion rollover"); o a "designated Roth contribution account" under a 401(k) plan or a 403(b) plan (direct or 60-day); or o from non-Roth accounts under another eligible retirement plan subject to limits specified below under "Conversion rollover contributions to Roth IRAs." You may make direct transfer contributions to a Roth IRA only from another Roth IRA. You may make both Roth IRA to Roth IRA rollover transactions and Roth IRA to Roth IRA direct transfer transactions. This can be accomplished on a completely tax-free basis. However, you may make Roth IRA to Roth IRA rollover transactions only once in any 12-month period for the same funds. Trustee-to-trustee or custodian-to-custodian direct transfers can be made more frequently than once a year. Also, if you send us the rollover contribution to apply it to a Roth IRA, you must do so within 60 days after you receive the proceeds from the original IRA to get rollover treatment. The surviving spouse beneficiary of a deceased individual can roll over or directly transfer an inherited Roth IRA to one or more other Roth IRAs. In some cases, Roth IRAs can be transferred on a tax-free basis between spouses or former spouses as a result of a court ordered divorce or separation decree. CONVERSION ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS TO ROTH IRAS In a conversion rollover transaction, you withdraw (or are considered to have withdrawn) all or a portion of funds from a traditional IRA you maintain and convert it to a Roth IRA within 60 days after you receive (or are considered to have received) the traditional IRA proceeds. Amounts can also be rolled over from non-Roth accounts under another eligible retirement plan, including a Code Section 401(a) qualified plan, a 403(b) plan, and a governmental employer Section 457(b) plan. You must meet AGI limits specified below until 2010. Unlike a rollover from a traditional IRA to another traditional IRA, a conversion rollover transaction from a traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan to a Roth IRA is not tax-free. Instead, the distribution from the traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan is generally fully taxable. In the case of a traditional IRA conversion rollover for example, we are required to withhold 10% federal income tax from the amount treated as converted unless you properly elect out of such withholding. If you are converting all or part of a traditional IRA, and you have ever made nondeductible regular contributions to any traditional IRA -- whether or not it is the traditional IRA you are converting -- a pro rata portion of the distribution is tax free. Even if you are under age 59-1/2, the early distribution penalty tax does not apply to conversion rollover contributions to a Roth IRA. The following rules apply until 2010: You cannot make conversion rollover contributions to a Roth IRA for any taxable year in which your modified adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000. (For this purpose, your modified adjusted gross income is computed without the gross income stemming from the conversion rollover. Modified adjusted gross income for this purpose excludes any lifetime required minimum distribution from a traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan.) You also cannot make conversion contributions to a Roth IRA for any taxable year in which your federal income tax filing status is "married filing separately." Tax information 49 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green You cannot make conversion contributions to a Roth IRA to the extent that the funds in your traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan are subject to the lifetime annual required minimum distribution rules. You cannot convert and reconvert an amount during the same taxable year, or if later, during the 30-day period following a recharacterization. If you reconvert during either of these periods, it will be a failed Roth IRA conversion. The IRS and Treasury have issued Proposed and Temporary Treasury Regulations addressing the valuation of annuity contracts funding traditional IRAs in the conversion to Roth IRAs. Although these Regulations are not clear, they could require an individual's gross income on the conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA to be measured using various actuarial methods and not as if the annuity contract funding the traditional IRA had been surrendered at the time of conversion. This could increase the amount reported as includible in certain circumstances. RECHARACTERIZATIONS You may be able to treat a contribution made to one type of IRA as having been made to a different type of IRA. This is called recharacterizing the contribution. HOW TO RECHARACTERIZE. To recharacterize a contribution, you generally must have the contribution transferred from the first IRA (the one to which it was made) to the second IRA in a deemed trustee-to-trustee transfer. If the transfer is made by the due date (including extensions) for your tax return for the year during which the contribution was made, you can elect to treat the contribution as having been originally made to the second IRA instead of to the first IRA. It will be treated as having been made to the second IRA on the same date that it was actually made to the first IRA. You must report the recharacterization, and must treat the contribution as having been made to the second IRA, instead of the first IRA, on your tax return for the year during which the contribution was made. The contribution will not be treated as having been made to the second IRA unless the transfer includes any net income allocable to the contribution. You can take into account any loss on the contribution while it was in the IRA when calculating the amount that must be transferred. If there was a loss, the net income you must transfer may be a negative amount. No deduction is allowed for the contribution to the first IRA and any net income transferred with the recharacterized contribution is treated as earned in the second IRA. The contribution will not be treated as having been made to the second IRA to the extent any deduction was allowed with respect to the contribution to the first IRA. For recharacterization purposes, a distribution from a traditional IRA that is received in one tax year and rolled over into a Roth IRA in the next year, but still within 60 days of the distribution from the traditional IRA, is treated as a contribution to the Roth IRA in the year of the distribution from the traditional IRA. Roth IRA conversion contributions from a SEP-IRA or SIMPLE IRA can be recharacterized to a SEP-IRA or SIMPLE IRA (including the original SEP-IRA or SIMPLE IRA). You cannot recharacterize back to the original plan a contribution directly rolled over from an eligible retirement plan which is not a traditional IRA. The recharacterization of a contribution is not treated as a rollover for purposes of the 12 month limitation period described above. This rule applies even if the contribution would have been treated as a rollover contribution by the second IRA if it had been made directly to the second IRA rather than as a result of a recharacterization of a contribution to the first IRA. To recharacterize a contribution you must use our forms. WITHDRAWALS, PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS OF FUNDS OUT OF ROTH IRAS NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW RESTRICTIONS ON WITHDRAWALS. You can withdraw any or all of your funds from a Roth IRA at any time; you do not need to wait for a special event like retirement. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ROTH IRAS Distributions include withdrawals from your contract, surrender and termination of your contract and annuity payments from your contract. Death benefits are also distributions. You must keep your own records of regular and conversion contributions to all Roth IRAs to assure appropriate taxation. You may have to file information on your contributions to and distributions from any Roth IRA on your tax return. You may have to retain all income tax returns and records pertaining to such contributions and distributions until your interests in all Roth IRAs are distributed. Like traditional IRAs, taxable distributions from a Roth IRA are not entitled to the special favorable ten-year averaging and long-term capital gain treatment available in limited cases to certain distributions from qualified plans. The following distributions from Roth IRAs are free of income tax: o Rollovers from a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA; o Direct transfers from a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA; o "Qualified distributions" from Roth IRAs; and o return of excess contributions or amounts recharacterized to a traditional IRA. QUALIFIED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ROTH IRAS Qualified distributions from Roth IRAs made because of one of the following four qualifying events or reasons are not includable in income: o you are age 59-1/2 or older; or o you die; or o you become disabled (special federal income tax definition); or 50 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green o your distribution is a "qualified first-time homebuyer distribution" (special federal income tax definition; $10,000 lifetime total limit for these distributions from all of your traditional and Roth IRAs). You also have to meet a five-year aging period. A qualified distribution is any distribution made after the five-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year for which you made any contribution to any Roth IRA (whether or not the one from which the distribution is being made). NONQUALIFIED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ROTH IRAS. Nonqualified distributions from Roth IRAs are distributions that do not meet both the qualifying event and five-year aging period tests described above. If you receive such a distribution, part of it may be taxable. For purposes of determining the correct tax treatment of distributions (other than the withdrawal of excess contributions and the earnings on them), there is a set order in which contributions (including conversion contributions) and earnings are considered to be distributed from your Roth IRA. The order of distributions is as follows: (1) Regular contributions (2) Conversion contributions, on a first-in-first-out basis (generally, total conversions from the earliest year first). These conversion contributions are taken into account as follows: (a) Taxable portion (the amount required to be included in gross income because of conversion) first, and then the (b) Nontaxable portion. (3) Earnings on contributions. Rollover contributions from other Roth IRAs are disregarded for this purpose. Presumably rollover contributions from a "designated Roth contribution account" under a 401(k) plan or a 403(b) arrangement will also be disregarded. To determine the taxable amounts distributed, distributions and contributions are aggregated or grouped and added together as follows: (1) All distributions made during the year from all Roth IRAs you maintain -- within any custodian or issuer -- are added together. (2) All regular contributions made during and for the year (contributions made after the close of the year, but before the due date of your return) are added together. This total is added to the total undistributed regular contributions made in prior years. (3) All conversion contributions made during the year are added together. For purposes of the ordering rules in the case of any conversion in which the conversion distribution is made in 2009 and the conversion contribution is made in 2010, the conversion contribution is treated as contributed prior to other conversion contributions made in 2010. Any recharacterized contributions that end up in a Roth IRA are added to the appropriate contribution group for the year that the original contribution would have been taken into account if it had been made directly to the Roth IRA. Any recharacterized contribution that ends up in an IRA other than a Roth IRA is disregarded for the purpose of grouping both contributions and distributions. Any amount withdrawn to correct an excess contribution (including the earnings withdrawn) is also disregarded for this purpose. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS Lifetime minimum distribution requirements do not apply. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS AT DEATH Same as traditional IRA under "What are the required minimum distribution payments after you die?", assuming death before the Required Beginning Date. Suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals for calendar year 2009 applies to post-death required minimum distribution withdrawals from Roth IRAs. PAYMENTS TO A BENEFICIARY AFTER YOUR DEATH Distributions to a beneficiary generally receive the same tax treatment as if the distribution had been made to you. BORROWING AND LOANS ARE PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS Same as traditional IRA. EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS Generally the same as traditional IRA, except that regular contributions made after age 70-1/2 are not "excess contributions." Excess rollover contributions to Roth IRAs are contributions not eligible to be rolled over (for example, conversion contributions from a traditional IRA if your modified adjusted gross income is in excess of $100,000 in the conversion year). You can withdraw or recharacterize any contribution to a Roth IRA before the due date (including extensions) for filing your federal income tax return for the tax year. If you do this, you must also withdraw or recharacterize any earnings attributable to the contribution. EARLY DISTRIBUTION PENALTY TAX Same as traditional IRA. FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING We must withhold federal income tax from distributions from annuity contracts. You may be able to elect out of this income tax withholding in some cases. Generally, we do not have to withhold if your distributions are not taxable. The rate of withholding will depend on the type of distribution and, in certain cases, the amount of your distribution. Any income tax withheld is a credit against your income tax liability. If you do not have sufficient income tax withheld or do not make sufficient estimated income tax payments, you may incur penalties under the estimated income tax rules. You must file your request not to withhold in writing before the payment or distribution is made. Our processing office will provide forms for this purpose. You cannot elect out of withholding unless you pro- Tax information 51 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green vide us with your correct Taxpayer Identification Number and a United States residence address. You cannot elect out of withholding if we are sending the payment out of the United States. You should note the following special situations: o we might have to withhold and/or report on amounts we pay under a free look or cancellation. o we are generally required to withhold on conversion rollovers of traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs, as it is considered a withdrawal from the traditional IRA and is taxable. o we are required to withhold on the gross amount of a distribution from a Roth IRA to the extent it is reasonable for us to believe that a distribution is includable in your gross income. This may result in tax being withheld even though the Roth IRA distribution is ultimately not taxable. You can elect out of withholding as described below. Special withholding rules apply to foreign recipients and United States citizens residing outside the United States. We do not discuss these rules here in detail. However, we may require additional documentation in the case of payments made to non-United States persons and United States persons living abroad prior to processing any requested transaction. Certain states have indicated that state income tax withholding will also apply to payments from the contracts made to residents. In some states, you may elect out of state withholding, even if federal withholding applies. Generally, an election out of federal withholding will also be considered an election out of state withholding. If you need more information concerning a particular state or any required forms, call our processing office at the toll-free number. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING ON PERIODIC ANNUITY PAYMENTS We withhold differently on "periodic" and "non-periodic" payments. For a periodic annuity payment, for example, unless you specify a different number of withholding exemptions, we withhold assuming that you are married and claiming three withholding exemptions. If you do not give us your correct Taxpayer Identification Number, we withhold as if you are single with no exemptions. Based on the assumption that you are married and claiming three withholding exemptions, if you receive less than $19,200 in periodic annuity payments in 2009 your payments will generally be exempt from federal income tax withholding. You could specify a different choice of withholding exemption or request that tax be withheld. Your withholding election remains effective unless and until you revoke it. You may revoke or change your withholding election at any time. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING ON NON-PERIODIC ANNUITY PAYMENTS (WITHDRAWALS) For a non-periodic distribution (total surrender, termination, or partial withdrawal), we generally withhold at a flat 10% rate. We apply that rate to the taxable amount in the case of nonqualified contracts, and to the payment amount in the case of traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, where it is reasonable to assume an amount is includable in gross income. IMPACT OF TAXES TO AXA EQUITABLE The contracts provide that we may charge Separate Account A for taxes. We do not now, but may in the future set up reserves for such taxes. 52 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 8. More information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT OUR SEPARATE ACCOUNT A Each variable investment option is a subaccount of our Separate Account A. We established Separate Account A in 1968 under special provisions of the New York Insurance Law. These provisions prevent creditors from any other business we conduct from reaching the assets we hold in our variable investment options for owners of our variable annuity contracts. We are the legal owner of all of the assets in Separate Account A and may withdraw any amounts that exceed our reserves and other liabilities with respect to variable investment options under our contracts. For example, we may withdraw amounts from Separate Account A that represent our investments in Separate Account A or that represent fees and charges under the contracts that we have earned. Also, we may, at our sole discretion, invest Separate Account A assets in any investment permitted by applicable law. The results of Separate Account A's operations are accounted for without regard to AXA Equitable's other operations. The amount of some of our obligations under the contracts is based on the assets in Separate Account A. However, the obligations themselves are obligations of AXA Equitable. Separate Account A is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is registered and classified under that act as a "unit investment trust." The SEC, however, does not manage or supervise AXA Equitable or Separate Account A. Although Separate Account A is registered, the SEC does not monitor the activity of Separate Account A on a daily basis. AXA Equitable is not required to register, and is not registered, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each subaccount (variable investment option) within Separate Account A that is available under the contract invests solely in Class IB/B shares issued by the corresponding portfolio of its Trust. We reserve the right subject to compliance with laws that apply: (1) to add variable investment options to, or to remove variable investment options from, Separate Account A, or to add other separate accounts; (2) to combine any two or more variable investment options; (3) to limit the number of variable investment options which you may elect; (4) to transfer the assets we determine to be the shares of the class of contracts to which the contracts belong from any variable investment option to another variable investment option; (5) to operate Separate Account A or any variable investment option as a management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (in which case, charges and expenses that otherwise would be assessed against an underlying mutual fund would be assessed against Separate Account A or a variable investment option directly); (6) to deregister Separate Account A under the Investment Company Act of 1940; (7) to restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to Separate Account A; and (8) to cause one or more variable investment options to invest some or all of their assets in one or more other trusts or investment companies. If the exercise of these rights results in a material change in the underlying investment of Separate Account A, you will be notified of such exercise, as required by law. ABOUT THE TRUSTS The Trusts are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. They are classified as "open-end management investment companies," more commonly called mutual funds. Each Trust issues different shares relating to each of its portfolios. The Trusts do not impose sales charges or "loads" for buying and selling their shares. All dividends and other distributions on the Trusts' shares are reinvested in full. The Board of Trustees or Board of Directors, as applicable, of each Trust may establish additional portfolios or eliminate existing portfolios at any time. More detailed information about each Trust, its portfolio investment objectives, policies, restrictions, risks, expenses, its Rule 12b-1 Plan relating to its Class IB/B shares, and other aspects of its operations, appears in the prospectuses for each Trust, which generally accompany this prospectus, or in their respective SAIs, which are available upon request. ABOUT OUR FIXED MATURITY OPTIONS RATES TO MATURITY AND PRICE PER $100 OF MATURITY VALUE We can determine the amount required to be allocated to one or more fixed maturity options in order to produce specified maturity values. For example, we can tell you how much you need to allocate per $100 of maturity value. The rates to maturity are determined weekly. The rates in the table below are illustrative only and will most likely differ from the rates applicable at time of purchase. Current rates to maturity can be obtained through TOPS or Online Account Access or from your financial professional. The rates to maturity for new allocations as of February 17, 2009 and the related price per $100 of maturity value were as shown below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed Maturity Options with June 15th Maturity Date Rate to Maturity as of of Price Per $100 of Maturity Year February 17, 2009 Maturity Value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009 3.00%* $99.05 2010 3.00%* $96.16 2011 3.00%* $93.36 2012 3.00%* $90.64 2013 3.00%* $88.00 2014 3.00%* $85.43 2015 3.15% $82.19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More information 53 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed Maturity Options with June 15th Maturity Date Rate to Maturity as of of Price Per $100 of Maturity Year February 17, 2009 Maturity Value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2016 3.70% $76.62 2017 3.90% $72.71 2018 4.05% $69.05 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Since these rates to maturity are 3%, no amounts could have been allocated to these options. HOW WE DETERMINE THE MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT We use the following procedure to calculate the market value adjustment (up or down) we make if you withdraw all of your value from a fixed maturity option before its maturity date. (1) We determine the market adjusted amount on the date of the withdrawal as follows: (a) we determine the fixed maturity amount that would be payable on the maturity date, using the rate to maturity for the fixed maturity option. (b) we determine the period remaining in your fixed maturity option (based on the withdrawal date) and convert it to fractional years based on a 365-day year. For example, three years and 12 days becomes 3.0329. (c) we determine the current rate to maturity that applies on the withdrawal date to new allocations to the same fixed maturity option. (d) we determine the present value of the fixed maturity amount payable at the maturity date, using the period determined in (b) and the rate determined in (c). (2) We determine the fixed maturity amount as of the current date. (3) We subtract (2) from the result in (1)(d). The result is the market value adjustment applicable to such fixed maturity option, which may be positive or negative. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your market adjusted amount is the present value of the maturity value discounted at the rate to maturity in effect for new contributions to that same fixed maturity option on the date of the calculation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you withdraw only a portion of the amount in a fixed maturity option, the market value adjustment will be a percentage of the market value adjustment that would have applied if you had withdrawn the entire value in that fixed maturity option. This percentage is equal to the percentage of the value in the fixed maturity option that you are withdrawing. Any withdrawal charges that are deducted from a fixed maturity option will result in a market value adjustment calculated in the same way. See Appendix III at the end of this prospectus for an example. For purposes of calculating the rate to maturity for new allocations to a fixed maturity option (see (1)(c) above), we use the rate we have in effect for new allocations to that fixed maturity option. We use this rate even if new allocations to that option would not be accepted at that time. This rate will not be less than 3%. If we do not have a rate to maturity in effect for a fixed maturity option to which the "current rate to maturity" in (1)(c) above would apply, we will use the rate at the next closest maturity date. If we are no longer offering new fixed maturity options, the "current rate to maturity" will be determined in accordance with our procedures then in effect. We reserve the right to add up to 0.50% to the current rate in (1)(c) above for purposes of calculating the market value adjustment only. INVESTMENTS UNDER THE FIXED MATURITY OPTIONS Amounts allocated to the fixed maturity options are held in a "nonunitized" separate account we have established under the New York Insurance Law. This separate account provides an additional measure of assurance that we will make full payment of amounts due under the fixed maturity options. Under New York Insurance Law, the portion of the separate account's assets equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities relating to the contracts are not chargeable with liabilities from any other business we may conduct. We own the assets of the separate account, as well as any favorable investment performance on those assets. You do not participate in the performance of the assets held in this separate account. We may, subject to state law that applies, transfer all assets allocated to the separate account to our general account. We guarantee all benefits relating to your value in the fixed maturity options, regardless of whether assets supporting fixed maturity options are held in a separate account or our general account. We have no specific formula for establishing the rates to maturity for the fixed maturity options. We expect the rates to be influenced by, but not necessarily correspond to, among other things, the yields that we can expect to realize on the separate account's investments from time to time. Our current plans are to invest in fixed-income obligations, including corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and government and agency issues having durations in the aggregate consistent with those of the fixed maturity options. Although the above generally describes our plans for investing the assets supporting our obligations under the fixed maturity options under the contracts, we are not obligated to invest those assets according to any particular plan except as we may be required to by state insurance laws. We will not determine the rates to maturity we establish by the performance of the nonunitized separate account. ABOUT THE GENERAL ACCOUNT Our general obligations and any guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by AXA Equitable's general account and are subject to AXA Equitable's claims paying ability. For more information about AXA Equitable's financial strength, you may review its financial statements and/or check its current rating with one or more of the independent sources that rate insurance companies for their financial strength and stability. Such ratings are subject to change and have no bearing on the performance of the variable investment options. You may also speak with your financial representative. The general account is subject to regulation and supervision by the Insurance Department of the State of New York and to the insurance laws and regulations of all jurisdictions where we are authorized to do business. Interests under the contracts in the general account have not been registered and are not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because of exemptions and exclusionary provisions 54 More information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green that apply. The general account is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and it is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The market value adjustment interests under the contracts, which are held in a separate account, are issued by AXA Equitable and are registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The contract is a "covered security" under the federal securities laws. We have been advised that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the portions of this prospectus that relate to the general account. The disclosure with regard to the general account, however, may be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. ABOUT OTHER METHODS OF PAYMENT AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM -- FOR NQ, TRADITIONAL IRA, AND ROTH IRA CONTRACTS You may use our automatic investment program, or "AIP," to have a specified amount automatically deducted from a bank checking or savings account, money market checking or savings account, or credit union checking or savings account and contributed as an additional contribution into an NQ, traditional IRA, or Roth IRA contract on a monthly basis. Contributions to all forms of IRAs are subject to the limitations and requirements discussed in "Tax information" earlier in this prospectus. AIP additional contributions may be allocated to any of the variable investment options but not the fixed maturity options. Our minimum contribution amount requirement is $20. You choose the day of the month you wish to have your account debited. However, you may not choose a date later than the 28th day of the month. You may cancel AIP at any time by notifying our processing office. We are not responsible for any debits made to your account before the time written notice of cancellation is received at our processing office. PAYROLL DEDUCTION PROGRAM. You can authorize your employer to remit your NQ, traditional IRA and Roth IRA contributions to us if your employer has a payroll deduction program. Those contributions are still your contributions, not your employer's. WIRE TRANSFERS. You may also send your contributions by wire transfer from your bank. DATES AND PRICES AT WHICH CONTRACT EVENTS OCCUR We describe below the general rules for when, and at what prices, events under your contract will occur. Other portions of this prospectus describe circumstances that may cause exceptions. We generally do not repeat those exceptions below. BUSINESS DAY Our "business day" is generally any day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for regular trading and generally ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or as of an earlier close of regular trading). A business day does not include a day on which we are not open due to emergency conditions determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may also close early due to such emergency conditions. Contributions will be applied and any other transaction requests will be processed when they are received along with all the required information unless another date applies as indicated below. o If your contribution, transfer or any other transaction request containing all the required information reaches us on any of the following, we will use the next business day: - on a non-business day: - after 4:00 PM, Eastern Time on a business day; or - after an early close of regular trading on the NYSE on a business day. o When a charge is to be deducted on a contract date anniversary that is a non-business day, we will deduct the charge on the next business day. CONTRIBUTIONS, TRANSFERS, WITHDRAWALS AND SURRENDERS o Contributions allocated to the variable investment options are invested at the unit value next determined after the receipt of the contribution. o Contributions allocated to a fixed maturity option will receive the rate to maturity in effect for that fixed maturity option on that business day. o If a fixed maturity option is scheduled to mature on June 15th and June 15th is a non-business day, that fixed maturity option will mature on the prior business day. o Transfers to or from variable investment options will be made at the unit value next determined after the receipt of the transfer request. o Transfers to a fixed maturity option will receive the rate to maturity in effect for that fixed maturity option on that business day. o Transfers out of a fixed maturity option will be at the market adjusted amount on that business day. o For general dollar-cost averaging, the first monthly transfer will occur on the last business day of the month in which we receive your election form at our processing office. o Quarterly rebalancing will be processed on a calendar year basis. Semiannual or annual rebalancing will be processed on the first business day of the month. Rebalancing will not be done retroactively. o Requests for withdrawals or surrenders will occur on the business day that we receive the information that we require. ABOUT YOUR VOTING RIGHTS As the owner of shares of the Trusts we have the right to vote on certain matters involving the portfolios, such as: o the election of trustees; o the formal approval of independent auditors selected for each Trust; or o any other matters described in the prospectus for each Trust or requiring a shareholders' vote under the Investment Company Act of 1940. More information 55 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green We will give contract owners the opportunity to instruct us how to vote the number of shares attributable to their contracts if a shareholder vote is taken. If we do not receive instructions in time from all contract owners, we will vote the shares of a portfolio for which no instructions have been received in the same proportion as we vote shares of that portfolio for which we have received instructions. We will also vote any shares that we are entitled to vote directly because of amounts we have in a portfolio in the same proportions that contract owners vote. The Trusts sell their shares to AXA Equitable separate accounts in connection with AXA Equitable's variable annuity and/or life insurance products, and to separate accounts of insurance companies, both affiliated and unaffiliated with AXA Equitable. AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust also sell their shares to the trustee of a qualified plan for AXA Equitable. We currently do not foresee any disadvantages to our contract owners arising out of these arrangements. However, the Board of Trustees or Directors of each Trust intend to monitor events to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response. If we believe that a Board's response insufficiently protects our contract owners, we will see to it that appropriate action is taken to do so. SEPARATE ACCOUNT A VOTING RIGHTS If actions relating to Separate Account A require contract owner approval, contract owners will be entitled to one vote for each unit they have in the variable investment options. Each contract owner who has elected a variable annuity payout option may cast the number of votes equal to the dollar amount of reserves we are holding for that annuity in a variable investment option divided by the annuity unit value for that option. We will cast votes attributable to any amounts we have in the variable investment options in the same proportion as votes cast by contract owners. CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAW The voting rights we describe in this prospectus are created under applicable federal securities laws. To the extent that those laws or the regulations published under those laws eliminate the necessity to submit matters for approval by persons having voting rights in separate accounts of insurance companies, we reserve the right to proceed in accordance with those laws or regulations. STATUTORY COMPLIANCE We have the right to change your contract without the consent of any other person in order to comply with any laws and regulations that apply, including but not limited to changes in the Internal Revenue Code, in Treasury Regulations or in published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service and in Department of Labor regulations. Any change in your contract must be in writing and made by an authorized officer of AXA Equitable. We will provide notice of any contract change. The benefits under your contract will not be less than the minimum benefits required by any state law that applies. ABOUT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AXA Equitable and its affiliates are parties to various legal proceedings. In our view, none of these proceedings would be considered material with respect to a contract owner's interest in Separate Account A, nor would any of these proceedings be likely to have a material adverse effect upon Separate Account A, our ability to meet our obligations under the contracts, or the distribution of the contracts. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of Separate Account A, as well as the consolidated financial statements of AXA Equitable, are in the SAI. The financial statements of AXA Equitable have relevance to the contracts only to the extent that they bear upon the ability of AXA Equitable to meet its obligations under the contracts. The SAI is available free of charge. You may request one by writing to our processing office or calling (800) 628-6673. TRANSFERS OF OWNERSHIP, COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENTS, LOANS, AND BORROWING You can transfer ownership of an NQ contract at any time before annuity payments begin. We will continue to treat you as the owner until we receive written notification of any change at our processing office. In some cases, an assignment or change of ownership may have adverse tax consequences. See "Tax information" earlier in this prospectus. You cannot assign or transfer ownership of a traditional IRA or Roth IRA contract except by surrender to us. You cannot assign your contract as collateral or security for a loan. Loans are also not available under your contract. For limited transfers of ownership after the owner's death see "Beneficiary continuation option" in "Payment of death benefit" earlier in this prospectus. You may direct the transfer of the values under your traditional IRA or Roth IRA contract to another similar arrangement under federal income tax rules. In the case of such a transfer, which involves a surrender of your contract, we will impose a withdrawal charge if one applies. DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS The contracts are distributed by both AXA Advisors, LLC ("AXA Advisors") and AXA Distributors, LLC ("AXA Distributors") (together, the "Distributors"). The Distributors serve as principal underwriters of Separate Account A. The offering of the contracts is intended to be continuous. AXA Advisors is an affiliate of AXA Equitable, and AXA Distributors is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Equitable. The Distributors are under the common control of AXA Financial, Inc. Their principal business address is 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10104. The Distributors are registered with the SEC as broker-dealers and are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). Both broker-dealers also act as distributors for other AXA Equitable life and annuity products. The contracts are sold by financial professionals of AXA Advisors and its affiliates. The contracts are also sold by financial professionals of 56 More information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green both affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with the Distributors ("Selling broker-dealers"). AXA Equitable pays compensation to both Distributors based on contracts sold. Compensation paid to AXA Advisors is based on contributions made on the contracts sold through AXA Advisors ("contribution-based compensation") and will generally not exceed 8.5% of total contributions. AXA Advisors, in turn, may pay a portion of the contribution-based compensation received from AXA Equitable on the sale of a contract to the AXA Advisors financial professional and/or Selling broker-dealer making the sale. In some instances, a financial professional or Selling broker-dealer may elect to receive reduced contribution-based compensation on a contract in combination with ongoing annual compensation of up to 0.60% of the account value of the contract sold ("asset-based compensation"). Total compensation paid to a financial professional or a Selling broker-dealer electing to receive both contribution-based and asset-based compensation could over time exceed the total compensation that would otherwise be paid on the basis of contributions alone. The contribution-based and asset-based compensation paid by AXA Advisors varies among financial professionals and among Selling broker-dealers. Contribution-based compensation paid by AXA Equitable to AXA Distributors on sales of AXA Equitable contracts by its Selling broker-dealers will generally not exceed 6.5% of the total contributions made under the contracts. AXA Distributors, in turn, pays the contribution-based compensation it receives on the sale of a contract to the Selling broker-dealer making the sale. In some instances, the Selling broker-dealer may elect to receive reduced contribution-based compensation on the sale of a contract in combination with annual asset-based compensation of up to 0.60% of contract account value. If a Selling broker-dealer elects to receive reduced contribution-based compensation on a contract, the contribution-based compensation which AXA Equitable pays to AXA Distributors will be reduced by the same amount and AXA Equitable will pay AXA Distributors asset-based compensation on the contract equal to the asset-based compensation which AXA Distributors pays to the Selling broker-dealer. Total compensation paid to a Selling broker-dealer electing to receive both contribution-based and asset-based compensation could over time exceed the total compensation that would otherwise be paid on the basis of contributions alone. The contribution-based and asset-based compensation paid by AXA Distributors varies among Selling broker-dealers. AXA Distributors also receives compensation and reimbursement for its marketing services under the terms of its distribution agreement with AXA Equitable. The Distributors may pay certain affiliated and/or unaffiliated Selling broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries additional compensation in recognition of certain expenses that may be incurred by them or on their behalf. The Distributors may also pay certain broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as "marketing allowances"). Services for which such payments are made may include, but are not limited to, the preferred placement of AXA Equitable and/or EQUI-VEST(R) Express on a company and/or product list; sales personnel training; product training; business reporting; technological support; due diligence and related costs; advertising, marketing and related services; conferences; and/or other support services, including some that may benefit the contract owner. Payments may be based on the amount of assets or purchase payments attributable to contracts sold through a Selling broker-dealer or such payments may be a fixed amount. The Distributors may also make fixed payments to Selling broker-dealers in connection with the initiation of a new relationship or the introduction of a new product. These payments may serve as an incentive for Selling broker-dealers to promote the sale of particular products. Additionally, as an incentive for financial professionals of Selling broker-dealers to promote the sale of AXA Equitable products, the Distributors may increase the sales compensation paid to the Selling broker-dealer for a period of time (commonly referred to as "compensation enhancements"). Marketing allowances and sales incentives are made out of the Distributors' assets. Not all Selling broker-dealers receive these kinds of payments. For more information about any such arrangements, ask your financial professional. The Distributors receive 12b-1 fees from certain portfolios for providing certain distribution and/or shareholder support services. The Distributors or their affiliates may also receive payments from the advisers of the portfolios or their affiliates to help defray expenses for sales meetings or seminar sponsorships that may relate to the contracts and/or the advisers' respective portfolios. In an effort to promote the sale of our products, AXA Advisors may provide its financial professionals and managerial personnel with a higher percentage of sales commissions and/or cash compensation for the sale of an affiliated variable product than it would the sale of an unaffiliated product. Such practice is known as providing "differential compensation." In addition, managerial personnel may receive expense reimbursements, marketing allowances and commission-based payments known as "overrides." Certain components of the compensation of financial professionals who are managers are based on the sale of affiliated variable products. Managers earn higher compensation (and credits toward awards and bonuses) if those they manage sell more affiliated variable products. AXA Advisors may provide other forms of compensation to its financial professionals, including health and retirement benefits. For tax reasons, AXA Advisors financial professionals qualify for health and retirement benefits based solely on their sales of our affiliated products. These payments and differential compensation (together, the "payments") can vary in amount based on the applicable product and/or entity or individual involved. As with any incentive, such payments may cause the financial professional to show preference in recommending the purchase or sale of AXA Equitable products. However, under applicable rules of FINRA, AXA Advisors may only recommend to you products that they reasonably believe are suitable for you based on facts that you have disclosed as to your other security holdings, financial situation and needs. In making any recommendation, financial professionals of AXA Advisors may nonetheless face conflicts of interest because of the differences in compensation from one product category to another, and because of differences in compensation between products in the same category. More information 57 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green In addition, AXA Advisors may offer sales incentive programs to financial professionals who meet specified production levels for the sale of both affiliated and unaffiliated products which provide non-cash compensation such as stock options awards and/or stock appreciation rights, expense-paid trips, expense-paid educational seminars and merchandise. Although AXA Equitable takes all of its costs into account in establishing the level of fees and expenses in its products, any contribution-based and asset-based compensation paid by AXA Equitable to the Distributors will not result in any separate charge to you under your contract. All payments made will be in compliance with all applicable FINRA rules and other laws and regulations. 58 More information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 9.

Incorporation of certain documents by reference 59 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Appendix I: QP IRA contracts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following provides information on the features and benefits of QP IRA contracts that are different than the features and benefits described in the prospectus for traditional IRA contracts under EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM). QP IRA contracts are not available to new purchasers and this information is applicable to existing contract holders only.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Features and benefits Availability or variation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Source of contributions o Rollovers from an eligible retirement plan (a qualified plan, 403(b) plan or govern- mental employer Section 457(b) plan. o Rollovers from a TSA. o The QP IRA contract is intended to be a conduit IRA to be used primarily for rollover contributions from a qualified plan or TSA, although we accept regular IRA contributions. Limits are described earlier in this prospectus under "Traditional individual retirement annuities (traditional IRAs)". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimum contributions $50 each rollover amount. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Limitations on contributions Rollover contributions after age 70-1/2 must be net of required minimum distributions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Taxation of payments The QP IRA is used as a conduit IRA so that amounts are not commingled. If you are Federal income tax withholding eligible for ten year averaging and long term capital gains treatment of distributions from a qualified plan, you may be able to preserve such treatment even though an eligible rollover from a qualified plan is temporarily rolled into a conduit IRA, such as a QP IRA, before rolling it back into a qualified plan. See your tax adviser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Appendix II: Condensed financial information II-5 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Appendix III: Market value adjustment example -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The example below shows how the market value adjustment would be determined and how it would be applied to a withdrawal, assuming that $100,000 was allocated on June 15, 2009 to a fixed maturity option with a maturity date of June 15, 2017 (eight years later) at a hypothetical rate to maturity of 7.00% (h), resulting in a maturity value of $171,882 on the maturity date. We further assume that a withdrawal of $50,000 is made four years later, on June 15, 2013.(a)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hypothetical assumed rate to maturity(j) on June 15, 2013 ----------------------- 5% 9% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of June 15, 2013 before withdrawal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) market adjusted amount(b) $141,389 $121,737 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) fixed maturity amount(c) $131,104 $131,104 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3) market value adjustment: (1) - (2) $ 10,285 $ (9,367) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On June 15, 2013 after $50,000 withdrawal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (4) portion of market value adjustment associated with the withdrawal: (3) x [$50,000/(1)] $ 3,637 $ (3,847) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (5) portion of fixed maturity associated with the withdrawal: $50,000 - (4) $ 46,363 $ 53,847 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (6) market adjusted amount (1) - $50,000 $ 91,389 $ 71,737 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (7) fixed maturity amount: (2) - (5) $ 84,741 $ 77,257 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (8) maturity value (d) $111,099 $101,287 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should note that in this example, if a withdrawal is made when rates have increased from 7.00% to 9.00% (right column), a portion of a negative market value adjustment is realized. On the other hand, if a withdrawal is made when rates have decreased from 7.00% to 5.00% (left column), a portion of a positive market value adjustment is realized. Notes: (a) Number of days from the withdrawal date to the maturity date = D = 1,461 (b) Market adjusted amount is based on the following calculation: Maturity value $171,882 ________________ ________________ = where j is either 5% or 9% (1+j)(D/365) (1+j)(1,461/365) (c) Fixed maturity amount is based on the following calculation: Maturity value $171,882 ________________ ________________ = (1+h)(D/365) (1+0.07)(1,461/365) (d) Maturity value is based on the following calculation: Fixed maturity amount x (1+h)(D/365) = ($84,741 or $77,257)x(1+0.07)(1,461/365)

If you allocate your entire initial contribution to the EQ/Money Market option, the amount of your refund will be equal to your contribution less interest, unless you make a transfer, in which case the amount of your refund will be equal to your account value on the date we receive your request to cancel at our processing office. This amount could be less than your initial contribution.

Income from NQ contracts we issue is U.S. source. A Puerto Rico resident is subject to U.S. taxation on such U.S. source income. Only Puerto Rico source income of Puerto Rico residents is excludable from U.S. taxation. Income from NQ contracts is also subject to Puerto Rico tax. The calculation of the taxable portion of amounts distrib- uted from a contract may differ in the two jurisdictions. Therefore, you might have to file both U.S. and Puerto Rico tax returns, showing different amounts of income from the contract for each tax return. Puerto Rico generally provides a credit against Puerto Rico tax for U.S. tax paid. Depending on your personal situation and the timing of the different tax liabilities, you may not be able to take full advantage of this credit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Washington See "Fixed maturity options" in "Contract The fixed maturity options are not features and benefits" available in contracts issued on or after August 13, 2001 in Washington. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALCULATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS The calculation of monthly annuity payments under a contract takes into account the number of annuity units of each variable investment option credited under a contract, their respective annuity unit values and a net investment factor. The annuity unit values used for EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) may vary, although the method of calculating annuity unit values set forth below applies to all contracts. Annuity unit values will also vary by variable investment option. For each valuation period, the adjusted net investment factor is equal to the net investment factor for the variable investment option reduced for each day in the valuation period by: o .00013366 of the net investment factor for a contract with an assumed base rate of net investment return of 5% a year; or o .00009425 of the net investment factor for a contract with an assumed base rate of net investment return of 31/2%. Because of this adjustment, the annuity unit value rises and falls depending on whether the actual rate of net investment return (after charges) is higher or lower than the assumed base rate. The assumed base rate will be 5%, except in states where that rate is not permitted. Annuity payments based upon an assumed base rate of 31/2% will at first be smaller than those based upon a 5% assumed base rate. Payments based upon a 31/2% rate, however, will rise more rapidly when unit values are rising, and payments will fall more slowly when unit values are falling than those based upon a 5% rate. The amounts of variable annuity payments are determined as follows: Payments normally start on the business day specified on your election form, or on such other future date as specified therein. The first three monthly payments are the same. The initial payment will be calculated using the basis guaranteed in the applicable EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract or our current basis, whichever would provide the higher initial benefit. The first three payments depend on the assumed base rate of net investment return and the form of annuity chosen (and any fixed period). If the annuity involves a life contingency, the risk class and the age of the annuitants will affect payments. Payments after the first three will vary according to the investment performance of the variable investment option(s) selected to fund the variable payments. After that, each monthly payment will be calculated by multiplying the number of annuity units credited by the average annuity unit value for the selected option for the second calendar month immediately preceding the due date of the payment. The number of units is calculated by dividing the first monthly payment by the annuity unit value for the valuation period which includes the due date of the first monthly payment. The average annuity unit value is the average of the annuity unit values for the valuation periods ending in that month. Illustration of calculation of annuity payments To show how we determine variable annuity payments, assume that the account value for an EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract on a retirement date is enough to fund an annuity with a monthly payment of $100 and that the annuity unit value of the selected variable investment option for the valuation period that includes the due date of the first annuity payment is $3.74. The number of annuity units credited under the contract would be 26.74 (100 divided by 3.74 = 26.74). Based on a hypothetical average annuity unit value of $3.56 in October 2009, the annuity payment due in December 2009 would be $95.19 (the number of units (26.74) times $3.56). CUSTODIAN AND INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM AXA Equitable is the custodian for the shares of the Trusts owned by Separate Account A. The financial statements of the Separate Account at December 31, 2008 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, and the consolidated financial statements of AXA Equitable at December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 are included in this SAI in reliance on the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provides independent audit services and certain other non-audit services to AXA Equitable as permitted by the applicable SEC independence rules, and as disclosed in AXA Equitable's Form 10-K. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's address is 300 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017. DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS Pursuant to a Distribution and Servicing Agreement between AXA Advisors, AXA Equitable and certain of AXA Equitable's separate accounts, including Separate Account A, AXA Equitable paid AXA Advisors a fee of $325,380 for each of the years 2008, 2007 and 2006. AXA Equitable paid AXA Advisors, as distributor of certain contracts, including these contracts, and as the principal underwriter of several AXA Equitable separate accounts, including Separate Account A, $677,871,467 in 2008, $731,920,627 in 2007 and $672,531,658 in 2006. Of these amounts, for each of these three years, AXA Advisors retained $356,304,358, $386,036,299 and $339,484,801, respectively. Under a Distribution Agreement between AXA Distributors, LLC, AXA Equitable and certain of AXA Equitable's separate accounts, including Separate Account A, AXA Equitable paid AXA Distributors, LLC, distribution fees of $750,235,874 in 2008, $1,007,208,067 in 2007 and 2 $694,578,570 in 2006, as distributor of certain contracts, including these contracts, and as the principal underwriter of several AXA Equitable separate accounts, including Separate Account A. Of these amounts, for each of these three years, AXA Distributors, LLC retained $81,519,894, $95,562,846 and $88,941,713, respectively. CALCULATING UNIT VALUES Unit values are determined at the end of each "valuation period" for each of the variable investment options. A valuation period is each business day together with any consecutive preceding non-business day. The unit values for EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) may vary. The method of calculating unit values is set forth below. The unit value for a variable investment option for any valuation period is equal to the unit value for the preceding valuation period multiplied by the "net investment factor" for the variable investment option for that valuation period. The net investment factor is: (a / b) - c where: (a) is the value of the variable investment option's shares of the cor responding portfolio at the end of the valuation period before giving effect to any amounts allocated to or withdrawn from the variable investment options for the valuation period. For this purpose, we use the share value reported to us by the applicable Trust. This share value is after deduction for investment advisory fees and direct expenses of such Trust. (b) is the value of the variable investment option's shares of the cor responding portfolio at the end of the preceding valuation period (after any amounts allocated or withdrawn for that valuation period). (c) is the daily Separate Account A asset charge for the expenses of the contracts times the number of calendar days in the valuation period, plus any charge for taxes or amounts set aside as a reserve for taxes.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

Organization (Concluded) (1) Formerly known as Market PLUS International Core. (2) Formerly known as Market PLUS Large Cap Core. (3) Formerly known as Market PLUS Large Cap Growth. (4) Formerly known as Market PLUS Mid Cap Value. (5) Formerly known as EQ/AllianceBernstein Value (6) Formerly known as EQ/FI Mid Cap (7) Formerly known as EQ/Legg Mason Value Equity (8) Formerly known as EQ/AllianceBernstein Large Cap Growth (9) Formerly known as EQ/AllianceBernstein Quality Bond Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from AXA Equitable's other assets and liabilities. All contracts are issued by AXA Equitable. The assets of the Account are the property of AXA Equitable. However, the portion of the Account's assets attributable to the Contracts will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business AXA Equitable may conduct. The Account is used to fund benefits for variable annuities issued by AXA Equitable including certain individual tax-favored variable annuity contracts (Old Contracts), individual non-qualified variable annuity contracts (EQUIPLAN Contracts), tax-favored and non-qualified certificates issued under group deferred variable annuity contracts and certain related individual contracts (EQUI-VEST Contracts), group deferred variable annuity contracts used to fund tax-qualified defined contribution plans (Momentum Contracts) and group variable annuity contracts used as a funding vehicle for employers who sponsor qualified defined contribution plans (Momentum Plus). All of these contracts and certificates are collectively referred to as the Contracts. The amount retained by AXA Equitable in the Account arises principally from (1) contributions from AXA Equitable, (2) mortality and expense risks, other expenses and financial accounting charges accumulated in the account, and (3) that portion, determined ratably, of the Account's investment results applicable to those assets in the Account in excess of the net assets, attributable to accumulation units. Amounts retained by AXA Equitable are not subject to mortality expense risk charges, other expenses and financial accounting charges. Amounts retained by AXA Equitable in the Account may be transferred at any time by AXA Equitable to its General Account. Each of the variable investment options of the Account bears indirectly exposure to the market, credit, and liquidity risks of the Portfolio in which it invests. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes of the Trusts, which were distributed by AXA Equitable to the contractowners. 2. Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Effective January 1, 2008, and as further described in Note 3 of the financial statements, AXA Equitable adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies only to fair measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards. Fair value is defined under SFAS No. 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no impact on the net assets of the Account. Investments are made in shares of The Trusts and are valued at the net asset values per share of the respective Portfolios. The net asset values are determined by The Trusts using the market or fair value of the underlying assets of the Portfolio less liabilities. Investment transactions are recorded by the Account on the trade date. Dividends and distributions of capital gains from The Trusts are automatically reinvested on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses include (1) gains and losses on redemptions of the Trusts' shares (determined on the identified cost basis) and (2) The Trusts' distributions representing the net realized gains on The Trusts' investment transactions. Receivable/payable for policy-related transactions represents amounts due to/from AXA Equitable's General Account predominantly related to premiums, surrenders and death benefits. FSA-74 AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT A Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2008 2. Significant Accounting Policies (Concluded) Payments received from contractowners represent participant contributions under EQUI-VEST Series 100 through 801, EQUI-VEST Vantage, EQUI-VEST Strategies, Momentum, Momentum Plus, EQUI-VEST At Retirement, CrossingsSM (but exclude amounts allocated to the guaranteed interest account, reflected in the General Account) and participant contributions under other Contracts (Old Contracts, EQUIPLAN) reduced by applicable deductions, charges and state premium taxes. Payments received from contractowners also include amounts applied to purchase contracts in payout (annuitization) period. Contractowners may allocate amounts in their individual accounts to Variable Investment Options, and/or to the guaranteed interest account, of AXA Equitable's General Account, and fixed maturity options of Separate Account No. 48. Transfers between funds including the guaranteed interest account, net, represents amounts that participants have directed to be moved among investment options, including permitted transfers to and from the guaranteed interest account and the fixed maturity option of Separate Account No. 48. The net assets of any Variable Investment Option may not be less than the aggregate value of the Contractowner accounts allocated to that Variable Investment Option. AXA Equitable is required by state insurance laws to set aside additional assets in AXA Equitable's General Account to provide for other policy benefits. AXA Equitable's General Account is subject to creditor rights. Transfers for contract benefits and terminations are payments to participants and beneficiaries made under the terms of the Contracts and amounts that participants have requested to be withdrawn and paid to them or applied to purchase annuities. Withdrawal charges, if applicable, are included in Transfers for contract benefits and terminations and represent deferred contingent withdrawal charges that apply to certain withdrawals under: o EQUI-VEST Series 100 through 801 o EQUI-VEST Vantage o EQUI-VEST Strategies o Momentum o Momentum Plus o Crossings(SM) Included in Contract maintenance charges are administrative charges, if applicable, that are deducted annually under: o EQUI-VEST Series 100 through 801 o EQUI-VEST Strategies o EQUIPLAN o Old Contracts Included in contract maintenance charges are administrative charges, if applicable, that are deducted quarterly under Momentum and Momentum Plus. Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout period are computed according to the 1983a Individual Annuitant Mortality Table for business issued in 1994 and later and according to the 1969 ELAS Mortality Table for business issued prior to 1994. The assumed investment return is 3% to 5%, as regulated by the laws of various states. The mortality risk is fully borne by AXA Equitable and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the variable annuity account by AXA Equitable to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the insurance company. The operations of the Account are included in the federal income tax return of AXA Equitable which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. No federal income tax based on net income or realized and unrealized capital gains is currently applicable to Contracts participating in the Account by reason of applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and no federal income tax payable by AXA Equitable is expected to affect the unit value of Contracts participating in the Account. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required. AXA Equitable retains the right to charge for any federal income tax which is attributable to the Account if the law is changed. 3. Fair Value Disclosures SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and identifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: FSA-75 AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT A Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2008 3. Fair Value Disclosures (Concluded) Level 1 Quotes prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 fair values generally are supported by market transactions that occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs to model-derived valuations that are not directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and often requiring significant judgment or estimation, such as an entity's own assumptions about the cash flows or other significant components of value that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. All investment and receivable assets of each Variable Investment Option of the Account are classified as Level 1. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Account invests in open-ended mutual funds, available to contractholders of variable insurance policies. Contractowners may, without restriction, transact at the daily Net Asset Value(s) ("NAV") of the mutual funds. The NAV represents the daily per share value of the portfolio of investments of the mutual funds, at which sufficient volumes of transactions occur. As all assets of the account are classified as Level 1, no reconciliation of Level 3 assets and change in unrealized gains (losses) for Level 3 assets still held as of December 31, 2008, are presented. 4.

5. Expenses and Related Party Transactions The assets in each Variable Investment Option are invested in shares of a corresponding mutual fund portfolio of The Trusts. Shares are offered by The Trusts at net asset value. Shares in which the Variable Investment Options are invested are in either one of two classes. Both classes are subject to fees for investment management and advisory services and other Trust expenses. One class of shares ("Class A shares") is not subject to distribution fees imposed pursuant to a distribution plan. The other class of shares ("Class B shares") is subject to FSA-77 AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT A Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2008 5. Expenses and Related Party Transactions (Concluded) distribution fees imposed under a distribution plan (herein, the "Rule 12b-1 Plans") adopted by the applicable Trust. The Rule 12b-1 Plans provide that The Trusts, on behalf of each variable portfolio, may charge annually a maximum annual distribution and/or service (12b-1) fee of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of a portfolio attributable to its Class B shares in respect of activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Class B shares. Under arrangements approved by each Trust's Board of Trustees, the 12b-1 fee currently is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets. These fees are reflected in the net asset value of the shares of the Trusts and the total returns of the investment options, but are not included in the expenses or expense ratios of the investment options. AXA Equitable serves as investment manager of the Portfolios of EQAT and VIP. Each investment manager receives management fees for services performed in its capacity as investment manager of The Trusts. Investment managers either oversee the activities of the investment advisors with respect to The Trusts and are responsible for retaining and discontinuing the services of those advisors or directly manage the Portfolios. Fees generally vary depending on net asset levels of individual portfolios and range for EQAT and VIP from a low of 0.05% to a high of 1.40% of average daily net assets of the Portfolios of the Trust. AXA Equitable as investment manager of EQAT and VIP pays expenses for providing investment advisory services to the Portfolios, including the fees of the Advisors of each Portfolio. In addition, AXA Advisors, LLC ("AXA Advisors") an affiliate of AXA Equitable, may also receive distribution fees under Rule 12b-1 Plans as described above. AllianceBernstein L.P. (formerly Alliance Capital Management L.P. ("AllianceBernstein")) serves as an investment advisor for a number of Portfolios in EQAT and VIP including the EQ/AllianceBernstein Portfolios; EQ/Large Cap Growth Index, EQ/Equity 500 Index, and EQ/Small Company Index; as well as a portion of EQ/Large Cap Value PLUS, EQ/Quality Bond PLUS, Multimanager Aggressive Equity, Multimanager International Equity, Multimanager Large Cap Core Equity, Multimanager Large Cap Value, and Multimanager Mid Cap Growth. AllianceBernstein is a limited partnership which is indirectly majority-owned by AXA Equitable and AXA Financial, Inc. (parent to AXA Equitable). AXA Advisors is an affiliate of AXA Equitable, and a distributor and principal underwriter of the Account. AXA Advisors is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The Contracts are sold by financial professionals who are registered representatives of AXA Advisors and licensed insurance agents of AXA Network, LLC ("AXA Network") or its subsidiaries (affiliates of AXA Equitable) . AXA Network receives commissions under its General Sales Agreement with AXA Equitable and its Networking Agreement with AXA Advisors. AXA Advisors receives service-related payments under its Supervisory and Distribution Agreement with AXA Equitable. The financial professionals are compensated on a commission basis by AXA Network. 6.

The charges may be retained in the Account by AXA Equitable and, to the extent retained, participate in the net investment results of the Trusts ratably with assets attributable to the Contracts. Under the terms of the Contracts, the aggregate of these asset charges and the charges of The Trusts for advisory fees and for direct operating expenses may not exceed a total effective annual rate of 1.75% for EQUI-VEST Series 100/200, Momentum Contracts for EQ/Money Market, EQ/AllianceBernstein Common Stock, Multimanager Aggressive Equity and AXA Moderate Allocation Variable Investment Options and 1% of all portfolios of the Old Contracts and EQUIPLAN Contracts (the "Cap"). Fees for advisory services in excess of the Cap are refunded to the Funds from AXA Equitable's General Account. Direct operating expenses in excess of the Cap are absorbed by amounts retained by AXA Equitable in Separate Account A. For EQUI-VEST(R) Series 200, EQUI-VEST Vantage, EQUI-VEST Strategies Contracts for participants of the Teachers Retirement System of the State of Texas the total Separate Account A annual expenses and total annual expenses of the Trust's fees, when added together, are not permitted to exceed 2.75% (except for Multimanager Aggressive Equity, AXA Moderate Allocation, EQ/AllianceBernstein Common Stock and EQ/Money Market Options in Equivest Series 200 which are not permitted to exceed 1.75%). Currently, this expense limitation has the effect of reducing the total expenses applicable to options funded by the Multimanager Small Cap Value, Multimanager Small Cap Growth, Multimanager Health Care, Multimanager International Equity, Multimanager Mid Cap Growth, Multimanager Mid Cap Value, Multimanager Technology and EQ/Van Kampen Emerging Markets Equity portfolios. Fees for advisory services in excess of the cap are refunded to the Funds from AXA Equitable's general account. Direct operating expenses in excess of the cap are absorbed by amounts retained by AXA Equitable in Separate Account A. Included in the Contract maintenance charges line of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are certain administrative charges which are deducted from the Contractowners account value. The table below lists all the fees charged by the Separate Account assessed as a redemption of units; the range presented represents the fees that are actually assessed.

The ratios included only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner account through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded. The summary may not reflect the minimum and maximum contract charges offered by the Company as contractowners may not have selected all available and applicable contract options. ** The Investment Income ratio represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Account from the underlying mutual fund, net of trust fees and expenses divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as asset-based charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Account invests. *** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

F-7 FS-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of earnings, of shareholder's equity and comprehensive income and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries ("AXA Equitable") at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of AXA Equitable's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, AXA Equitable adopted a framework for measuring fair value on January 1, 2008. Also, AXA Equitable changed its method of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes on January 1, 2007 and for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans on December 31, 2006. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP New York, New York March 13, 2009 F-1 AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F-6 AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1) ORGANIZATION AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company ("AXA Equitable," and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries the "Company") is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. ("AXA Financial," and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "AXA Financial Group"). AXA Financial is a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA, a French holding company for an international group of insurance and related financial services companies. The Company conducts operations in two business segments: the Insurance and Investment Management segments. The Company's management evaluates the performance of each of these segments independently and allocates resources based on current and future requirements of each segment. Insurance --------- The Insurance segment offers a variety of traditional, variable and interest-sensitive life insurance products, variable and fixed-interest annuity products, mutual funds and other investment products and asset management principally to individuals and small and medium size businesses and professional and trade associations. This segment includes Separate Accounts for individual insurance and annuity products. The Company's insurance business is conducted principally by AXA Equitable and, until August 1, 2008, its wholly owned life insurance subsidiary, AXA Equitable Life and Annuity Company ("AXA Life"), formerly AXA Life and Annuity Company. On August 1, 2008 AXA Equitable sold AXA Life to AXA Equitable Financial Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, for $60.8 million in cash, which approximated AXA Equitable's investment in AXA Life. Investment Management --------------------- The Investment Management segment is principally comprised of the investment management business of AllianceBernstein L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its consolidated subsidiaries "AllianceBernstein"). AllianceBernstein provides research, diversified investment management and related services globally to a broad range of clients. Its principal services include: (a) institutional investment services, servicing institutional clients including unaffiliated corporate and public employee pension funds, endowment funds, domestic and foreign institutions and governments, by means of separately managed accounts, sub-advisory relationships, structured products, collective investments trusts, mutual funds and other investment vehicles, (b) retail services, servicing individual clients, primarily by means of retail mutual funds sponsored by AllianceBernstein or an affiliated company, sub-advisory relationships in respect of mutual funds sponsored by third parties, separately managed account programs sponsored by financial intermediaries worldwide, and other investment vehicles, (c) private client services, including high-net-worth individuals, trusts and estates, charitable foundations, partnerships, private and family corporations and other entities, by means of separately managed accounts, hedge funds, mutual funds, and other investment vehicles, and (d) institutional research services by means of independent, fundamental research, portfolio strategy and brokerage-related services. Principal subsidiaries of AllianceBernstein include: SCB Inc., formerly known as Sanford C. Bernstein, Inc. ("Bernstein"), Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. LLC ("SCB LLC"), Sanford C. Bernstein Limited ("SCBL") and SCB Partners, Inc. ("SCB Partners"). This segment includes institutional Separate Accounts principally managed by AllianceBernstein that provide various investment options for large group pension clients, primarily defined benefit and contribution plans, through pooled or single group accounts. AllianceBernstein is a private partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, is not subject to Federal and state corporate income taxes. However, AllianceBernstein is subject to a 4.0% New York City unincorporated business tax ("UBT"). Domestic corporate subsidiaries of AllianceBernstein are subject to Federal, state and local income taxes. Foreign corporate subsidiaries are generally subject to taxes in the foreign jurisdictions where they are located. The Company provides Federal and state income taxes on the undistributed earnings of non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries except to the extent that such earnings are permanently invested outside the United States. F-7 In October 2000, AllianceBernstein acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of SCB Inc (the "Bernstein Acquisition"). Following a two-year lockout period that ended October 2002, the former Bernstein shareholders were permitted to exercise the right to sell private units in AllianceBernstein L.P. (the "AllianceBernstein Units") that were acquired in the Bernstein Acquisition to AXA Financial or an affiliated company (the "AB Put"). In February 2007, AXA Financial purchased a tranche of 8.16 million AllianceBernstein Units pursuant to an exercise of the AB Put at a purchase price of approximately $745.7 million and recorded additional goodwill of $392.8 million and other intangible assets of $209.5 million. After this purchase, AXA Financial Group's beneficial ownership in AllianceBernstein increased by approximately 3.0% to 63.3%. Through December 31, 2008, the Company acquired 32.7 million AllianceBernstein Units pursuant to the AB Put at the aggregate market price of $1,631.1 million and recorded additional goodwill of $733.8 million and other intangible assets of $251.7 million. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company's consolidated economic interest in AllianceBernstein was 37.4% and 45.5%, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, AXA Financial Group's beneficial ownership in AllianceBernstein was approximately 62.4% and 63.2%, respectively. Minority interest subject to redemption rights on the consolidated balance sheets represents the remaining private AllianceBernstein Units still held by former Bernstein shareholders. On January 6, 2009, AXA America Holdings Inc. ("AXA America"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AXA, purchased the remaining 8.16 million AllianceBernstein Units from SCB Partners at a price of $18.349 per Unit pursuant to the final installment of the AB Put. 2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation ----------------------------------------------------- The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions (including normal, recurring accruals) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary in the opinion of management to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AXA Equitable and its subsidiary engaged in insurance related businesses (collectively, the "Insurance Group"); other subsidiaries, principally AllianceBernstein; and those investment companies, partnerships and joint ventures in which AXA Equitable or its subsidiaries has control and a majority economic interest as well as those variable interest entities ("VIEs") that meet the requirements for consolidation. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Insurance Group's General Account held $1.8 million and $5.7 million of investment assets issued by VIEs and determined to be significant variable interests under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation ("FIN") 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Revised". At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as reported in the consolidated balance sheet, these investments included $0.8 million and $4.7 million of fixed maturities (collateralized debt and loan obligations) and $1.0 million and $1.0 million of other equity investments (principally investment limited partnership interests) and are subject to ongoing review for impairment in value. These VIEs do not require consolidation because management has determined that the Insurance Group is not the primary beneficiary. These variable interests at December 31, 2008 represent the Insurance Group's maximum exposure to loss from its direct involvement with the VIEs. The Insurance Group has no further economic interest in these VIEs in the form of related guarantees, commitments, derivatives, credit enhancements or similar instruments and obligations. Management of AllianceBernstein reviews quarterly its investment management agreements and its investments in, and other financial arrangements with, certain entities that hold client assets under management ("AUM") to determine the entities that AllianceBernstein is required to consolidate under FIN 46(R). These include certain mutual fund products, hedge funds, structured products, group trusts, collective investment trusts and limited partnerships. F-8 AllianceBernstein earned investment management fees on client AUM of these entities but derived no other benefit from those assets and cannot utilize those assets in its operations. At December 31, 2008, AllianceBernstein had significant variable interests in certain other structured products and hedge funds with approximately $61.0 million in client assets under management. However, these VIEs do not require consolidation because management has determined that AllianceBernstein is not the primary beneficiary of the expected losses or expected residual returns of these entities. AllianceBernstein's maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to its investments of $0.1 million in and prospective investment management fees earned from these entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The years "2008," "2007" and "2006" refer to the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Certain reclassifications have been made in the amounts presented for prior periods to conform those periods to the current presentation. Accounting Changes ------------------ On January 12, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 99-20-1, "Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20", amending EITF Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment of Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets". The FSP broadens the other-than-temporary impairment assessment for interests in securitized financial assets within the scope of EITF 99-20 to conform to the model applicable to all other debt securities by permitting reasonable management judgment of the probability to collect all projected cash flows. FSP EITF 99-20-1 is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008 and application to prior periods is not permitted. At December 31, 2008, debt securities with amortized cost and fair values of approximately $1,616.8 million and $1,156.3 million comprised the population subject to this amendment. Adoption of the FSP did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Effective January 1, 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115," permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Management has elected not to adopt the fair value option as permitted by SFAS No. 159. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies only to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards, except for measurements of share-based payments and measurements that are similar to, but not intended to be, fair value. Fair value is defined under SFAS No. 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 157 at January 1, 2008 required only a remeasurement of the fair value of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit ("GMIB") reinsurance asset, resulting in an increase in net income of $68.8 million, related to an increase in the fair value of the GMIB reinsurance asset of $210.6 million, offset by increased DAC amortization of $104.7 million and increased Federal income taxes of $37.1 million. The increase in the GMIB reinsurance asset's fair value under SFAS No. 157 was due primarily to updates to the capital markets assumptions and risk margins, reflective of market participant assumptions required by the exit value model of SFAS No. 157. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-2, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, including goodwill and other intangible assets, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). This deferral delays until December 31, 2009 the application of SFAS No. 157 to the Company's annual impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets but would require adoption in an earlier interim period in 2009 if circumstances would be indicative of an impairment event. Management F-9 does not anticipate adoption of this FSP to have significant impact on the methodologies used to measure fair value for these impairment assessments. On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-3, "Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active," which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP SFAS No. 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Significant liquidity constraints that emerged in fourth quarter 2008 in the market for commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") resulted in the Company's adoption of this clarification for purpose of measuring the fair value of its CMBS portfolio at December 31, 2008. As a result, management concluded that an adjusted discounted cash flow methodology that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs would produce a more representative measure of the fair value of CMBS at December 31, 2008 as compared to matrix pricing and broker quotes used at prior measurement dates and that now would require significant adjustments. The determination of fair value also considered the very limited, yet observable, CMBS transactions that occurred in fourth quarter 2008. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of the Company's CMBS portfolio was $1,674.7 million. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations (revised 2007)" to be applied prospectively for all future acquisitions. While retaining the requirement of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," to use purchase accounting for all business combinations, SFAS No. 141(R)'s new rules include the following: o The acquirer will recognize 100% of the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities (with few exceptions) upon initially obtaining control even if it has not acquired 100% of the target company, o Contingent considerations will be included in the purchase price consideration on a fair value basis while transaction costs will be expensed as incurred, and o The requirements in SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," must be met at the acquisition date in order to accrue for a restructuring plan. In June 2007, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 07-1, "Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies". The SOP provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). The SOP addresses whether the specialized industry accounting principles of the Guide should be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor that has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investment company and applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in the entity. SOP 07-1 was to have been effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP SOP 07-1-1 that indefinitely delays the effective date of SOP 07-1. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to consider a number of significant issues relating to the implementation of SOP 07-1. Effective January 1, 2007, and as more fully described in Note 15 herein, the Company adopted FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," an interpretation that clarifies the recognition criteria and measurement of the economic benefits associated with tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, a tax benefit is recognized only if it is "more likely than not" to be sustained based on the technical merits of the position, assuming examination by the taxing authority, and is required to be measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, taking into consideration the amounts and probabilities of potential settlement outcomes. FIN 48 also addresses subsequent derecognition of tax positions, changes in the measurement of recognized tax positions, accrual and classification of interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods. In addition, annual disclosures with respect to income taxes have been expanded by FIN 48 and require inclusion of a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the reporting period. As a result of adopting FIN 48, the Company recognized a $44.8 million cumulative-effect adjustment that increased January 1, 2007 retained earnings reflecting a decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits. On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the AICPA's SOP 05-1, "Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts". The SOP requires identification of transactions that result in a substantial change in an insurance contract. F-10 Transactions subject to review include internal contract exchanges, contract modifications via amendment, rider or endorsement and elections of benefits, features or rights contained within the contract. If determined that a substantial change has occurred, the related deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and other related balances must be written off. The adoption of SOP 05-1 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. On December 31, 2006, the Company implemented SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans," requiring employers to recognize the over or underfunded status of such benefit plans as an asset or liability in the balance sheet for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2006 and to recognize subsequent changes in that funded status as a component of other comprehensive income. The funded status of a plan is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation for pension plans or the benefit obligation for any other postretirement plan. SFAS No. 158 did not change the determination of net periodic benefit cost or its presentation in the statement of earnings. However, its requirements represent a significant change to previous accounting guidance that generally delayed recognition of certain changes in plan assets and benefit obligations in the balance sheet and only required disclosure of the complete funded status of the plans in the notes to the financial statements. As required by SFAS No. 158, the $449.5 million impact of initial adoption, net of income tax and minority interest, was reported as an adjustment to the December 31, 2006 balance of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The consequent recognition of the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans at December 31, 2006 reduced total assets by approximately $684.2 million principally due to the $684.2 million reduction of prepaid pension cost, and decreased total liabilities by approximately $234.7 million. The change in liabilities resulted principally from the $242.7 million decrease in income taxes payable partially offset by an increase of $12.0 million in benefit plan liabilities. SFAS No. 158 imposes an additional requirement, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer's year-end balance sheet, thereby eliminating the option to elect an earlier measurement date alternative of not more than three months prior to that date, if used consistently each year. This provision of SFAS No. 158 had no impact on the Company as it already uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plan assets and benefits obligations. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which requires the cost of all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, resulting in compensation expense for certain types of the Company's equity-classified award programs for which no cost previously would have been charged to net earnings in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," most notably for employee options to purchase AXA American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") and AXA ordinary shares and for employee stock purchase plans. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, consolidated earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interest for 2006 was $81.8 million lower and consolidated net earnings for 2006 was $52.5 million lower than if these plans had continued to be accounted for under APB No. 25. The Company used the "modified prospective method," applying the measurement, recognition, and attribution requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) to stock-based compensation awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled on or after January 1, 2006. Beginning in first quarter 2006, costs associated with unvested portions of outstanding employee stock option awards at January 1, 2006 were recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings over the awards' remaining future service-vesting periods. Liability-classified awards outstanding at January 1, 2006, such as performance units and stock appreciation rights, were remeasured to fair value. The remeasurement resulted in no adjustment to their intrinsic value basis, including the cumulative effect of differences between actual and expected forfeitures, primarily due to the de minimis time remaining to expected settlement of these awards. The Company also elected the "short-cut" transition alternative for approximating the historical pool of windfall tax benefits available in shareholder's equity at January 1, 2006 as provided by the FASB in FSP FAS No. 123(R)-3, "Transition Election Related to Accounting For the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards". This historical pool represents the cumulative tax benefits of tax deductions for employee share-based payments in excess of compensation costs recognized under U.S. GAAP. In the event that a shortfall F-11 of tax benefits occurs during a reporting period (i.e., tax deductions are less than the related cumulative compensation expense), the historical pool will be reduced by the amount of the shortfall. If the shortfall exceeds the amount of the historical pool, there will be a negative impact on the results of operations. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, additional windfall tax benefits resulted from employee exercises of stock option awards. New Accounting Pronouncements ----------------------------- On December 30, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, "Disclosures about Employers' Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets". The FSP amended FAS. 132(R), "Disclosure about Plan Assets," to require additional disclosures about assets held in an employer's defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, including disclosures about fair value measures similar to those of SFAS No. 157. The FSP is effective prospectively for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," which requires enhanced disclosures of an entity's objectives and strategies for using derivatives, including tabular presentation of fair value amounts, gains and losses, and related hedged items, with appropriate cross-referencing to the financial statements. SFAS No. 161 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2009. On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51". SFAS No. 160 will: o Recharacterize minority interests, currently classified within liabilities, as noncontrolling interests to be reported as a component of consolidated equity on the balance sheet, o Include total income in net income, with separate disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the attribution of income between controlling and noncontrolling interests, and o Account for increases and decreases in noncontrolling interests as equity transactions with any difference between proceeds of a purchase or issuance of noncontrolling interests being accounted for as a change to the controlling entity's equity instead of as current period gains/losses in the consolidated income statement. Only when the controlling entity loses control and deconsolidates a subsidiary will a gain or loss be recognized. SFAS No. 160 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 except for its specific transition provisions for retroactive adoption of the balance sheet and income statement presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. Management currently is assessing the impacts of adoption, including adjustments that will be required in the consolidated financial statements to conform the presentations of minority interest in the equity and net income of AllianceBernstein and the recognition of changes in the Company's ownership interest. In 2009, the Emerging Issues Task Force will consider a topic entitled "Consideration of an Insurer's Accounting for Majority Owned Investments When the Ownership Is Through a Separate Account". This issue will consider the treatment of Separate Account arrangements that involve ownership by the Separate Account of more than 50% of its mutual fund shares. Closed Block ------------ As a result of demutualization, the Closed Block was established in 1992 for the benefit of certain individual participating policies that were in force on that date. Assets, liabilities and earnings of the Closed Block are specifically identified to support its participating policyholders. Assets allocated to the Closed Block inure solely to the benefit of the Closed Block policyholders and will not revert to the benefit of AXA Equitable. No reallocation, transfer, borrowing or lending of assets can be made between the Closed Block and other portions of AXA Equitable's General Account, any of its Separate Accounts or any affiliate of AXA Equitable without the approval of the New York Superintendent of Insurance (the "Superintendent"). Closed Block assets and liabilities are carried on the same basis as similar assets and liabilities held in the General Account. The excess of Closed Block liabilities over Closed Block assets (adjusted to exclude the impact of related amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income) represents the expected maximum future post-tax earnings from the Closed Block that would be recognized in income from continuing operations over the period the policies and contracts in the Closed Block remain in force. As of January 1, 2001, the Company has developed an actuarial calculation of the expected timing of the Closed Block earnings. F-12 If the actual cumulative earnings from the Closed Block are greater than the expected cumulative earnings, only the expected earnings will be recognized in net income. Actual cumulative earnings in excess of expected cumulative earnings at any point in time are recorded as a policyholder dividend obligation because they will ultimately be paid to Closed Block policyholders as an additional policyholder dividend unless offset by future performance that is less favorable than originally expected. If a policyholder dividend obligation has been previously established and the actual Closed Block earnings in a subsequent period are less than the expected earnings for that period, the policyholder dividend obligation would be reduced (but not below zero). If, over the period the policies and contracts in the Closed Block remain in force, the actual cumulative earnings of the Closed Block are less than the expected cumulative earnings, only actual earnings would be recognized in income from continuing operations. If the Closed Block has insufficient funds to make guaranteed policy benefit payments, such payments will be made from assets outside the Closed Block. Many expenses related to Closed Block operations, including amortization of DAC, are charged to operations outside of the Closed Block; accordingly, net revenues of the Closed Block do not represent the actual profitability of the Closed Block operations. Operating costs and expenses outside of the Closed Block are, therefore, disproportionate to the business outside of the Closed Block. Investments ----------- The carrying values of fixed maturities identified as available for sale are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported in comprehensive income. The amortized cost of fixed maturities is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other than temporary. The redeemable preferred stock investments reported in fixed maturities include real estate investment trusts ("REIT") perpetual preferred stock, other perpetual preferred stock and redeemable preferred stock. These securities may not have a stated maturity, may not be cumulative and do not provide for mandatory redemption by the issuer. Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of unamortized discounts and valuation allowances. Valuation allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or on its collateral value if the loan is collateral dependent. However, if foreclosure is or becomes probable, the collateral value measurement method is used. Impaired mortgage loans without provision for losses are loans where the fair value of the collateral or the net present value of the expected future cash flows related to the loan equals or exceeds the recorded investment. Interest income earned on loans where the collateral value is used to measure impairment is recorded on a cash basis. Interest income on loans where the present value method is used to measure impairment is accrued on the net carrying value amount of the loan at the interest rate used to discount the cash flows. Changes in the present value attributable to changes in the amount or timing of expected cash flows are reported as investment gains or losses. Real estate held for the production of income, including real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt, is stated at depreciated cost less valuation allowances. At the date of foreclosure (including in-substance foreclosure), real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt is valued at estimated fair value. Impaired real estate is written down to fair value with the impairment loss being included in Investment (losses) gains, net. Depreciation of real estate held for production of income is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties, which generally range from 40 to 50 years. Valuation allowances are netted against the asset categories to which they apply. Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Partnerships, investment companies and joint venture interests in which the Company has control and a majority economic interest (that is, greater than 50% of the economic return generated by the entity) or those that meet the requirements for consolidation under FIN 46(R) are consolidated; those in which the Company does not have control and a majority economic interest and those that do not meet FIN 46(R) requirements for consolidation are reported on the equity basis of accounting and are included either with equity real estate or other equity investments, as appropriate. The Company records its interests in certain of these partnerships on a one quarter lag. F-13 Equity securities, which include common stock and non-redeemable preferred stock classified as available for sale securities, are carried at fair value and are included in other equity investments with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholder's equity. Trading securities, which include equity securities and fixed maturities, are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses reported in Net earnings. Corporate owned life insurance ("COLI") is purchased by the Company on the lives of certain key employees; certain subsidiaries of the Company are named as beneficiaries under these policies. COLI is carried at the cash surrender value of the policies. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying value of COLI was $687.3 million and $770.7 million, respectively, and is reported in Other invested assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost that approximates fair value, and are included with other invested assets. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits, money market accounts, overnight commercial paper and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, the recorded value has been determined to approximate fair value. All securities owned including United States government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and futures and forwards transactions are recorded in the consolidated financial statements on a trade date basis. Derivatives ----------- The Company primarily uses derivatives for asset/liability risk management, for hedging individual securities and certain equity exposures and to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its long-term debt obligations. Various derivative instruments are used to achieve these objectives, including interest rate floors, interest rate swaps, futures contracts and options positions. None of the derivatives were designated as qualifying hedges under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Insurance Group issues certain variable annuity products with Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit ("GMDB"), GMIB and Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit for Life ("GWBL") features. The risk associated with the GMDB feature is that under-performance of the financial markets could result in GMDB benefits, in the event of death, being higher than what accumulated policyholder account balances would support. The risk associated with the GMIB feature is that under-performance of the financial markets could result in GMIB benefits, in the event of election, being higher than what accumulated policyholders account balances would support. The Company currently utilizes a combination of futures contracts and interest rate swap and floor contracts to hedge such risks. However, for both GMDB and GMIB, the Company retains basis and volatility risk and risk associated with actual versus expected assumptions for mortality, lapse, surrender, withdrawal and contractholder election rates, among other things. The futures contracts are managed to correlate with changes in the value of the GMDB and GMIB feature that result from financial markets movements. In addition, the Company has purchased reinsurance contracts to mitigate the risks associated with the impact of potential market fluctuations on future policyholder elections of GMIB features contained in certain annuity contracts issued by the Company. Reinsurance contracts covering GMIB exposure as well as the GWBL features are considered derivatives for accounting purposes, and, therefore, must be reported in the balance sheet at their fair value. GMIB reinsurance and GWBL features' fair values are reported in the consolidated balance sheets in Other assets and Future policy benefits and other policyholders liabilities, respectively. Changes in GMIB reinsurance fair values are reflected in Commissions, fees and other income in the consolidated statements of earnings, while changes related to the GWBL fair values are reported in Policyholder's benefits. There can be no assurance that ultimate actual experience will not differ from management's estimates. See Note 8 herein. F-14 Margins on individual insurance and annuity contracts are affected by interest rate fluctuations. If interest rates fall, credited interest rates and dividends could be adjusted prospectively subject to minimum rate guarantees. To hedge exposure to lower interest rates for these and other reasons, the Company may use interest rate floors. The Company is exposed to equity market fluctuations through investments in Separate Accounts. The Company may enter into derivative contracts to minimize such risk. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. Generally, such credit exposure is limited to the fair value of the derivative instruments at the reporting date. All derivatives outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values. The Company controls and minimizes its counterparty exposure. Exposure to credit risk is controlled with respect to each counterparty through a credit appraisal and approval process. Each counterparty is currently rated A+ or better by Moody's and Standard and Poor's rating agencies. In addition, as further described in Note 3, the Company has executed various collateral arrangements with counterparties to over-the-counter derivative transactions that require both pledging and accepting collateral either in the form of cash or high-quality securities, such as Treasuries or those issued by government agencies. All outstanding equity-based and treasury futures contracts at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were exchange-traded and are marked to market and net settled daily. All gains and losses on derivative financial instruments other than the GMIB reinsurance contracts and the GWBL features liability are reported in Net investment income. Net Investment Income, Investment (Losses) Gains, Net and Unrealized Investment Gains (Losses) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Net investment income and realized investment gains (losses), net (together, "investment results") related to certain participating group annuity contracts which are passed through to the contractholders are offset by amounts reflected as interest credited to policyholders' account balances. Realized investment gains (losses) are determined by identification with the specific asset and are presented as a component of revenue. Changes in the valuation allowances are included in Investment (losses) gains, net. Realized and unrealized holding gains (losses) on trading securities are reflected in Net investment income. Unrealized investment gains and losses on fixed maturities and equity securities available for sale held by the Company are accounted for as a separate component of accumulated comprehensive income, net of related deferred income taxes, amounts attributable to certain pension operations principally consisting of group non-participating wind-up annuity products ("Wind-up Annuities"), Closed Block's policyholders dividend obligation and DAC related to universal life and investment-type products and participating traditional life contracts. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments ----------------------------------------- SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and identifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 fair values generally are supported by market transactions that occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs to model-derived valuations that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and often requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as an entity's own assumptions about the cash flows or other significant components of value that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. F-15 Fair value measurements classified as Level 1 include exchange-traded prices of debt and equity securities and net asset values for transacting subscriptions and redemptions of mutual fund shares held by Separate Accounts. At December 31, 2008, investments classified as Level 2 comprised approximately 24.0% of invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and primarily included U.S. government and agency securities and certain corporate debt securities. As market quotes generally are not readily available or accessible for these securities, their fair value measures most often are determined through the use of model pricing that effectively discounts prospective cash flows to present value using appropriate sector-adjusted credit spreads commensurate with the security's duration, also taking into consideration issuer-specific credit quality and liquidity. These valuation methodologies have been studied and evaluated by the Company and the resulting prices determined to be representative of exit values for which the significant inputs are sourced either directly or indirectly from market observable data. At December 31, 2008, approximately $419.4 million amortized cost of CMBS securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 classification. Through third quarter 2008, pricing of these securities was sourced from a third party service, whose process placed significant reliance on market trading activity. In fourth quarter 2008, the lack of sufficient observable CMBS trading data and significant volatility in the pricing of isolated trades, made it difficult, at best, to validate prices of CMBS securities below the senior AAA tranche for which limited trading continued. Consequently, the Company instead applied a risk-adjusted present value technique to the projected cash flows of these securities, as adjusted for origination year, default metrics, and level of subordination, with the objective of maximizing observable inputs. To provide for consideration of fourth quarter market transactions, the fair value measures of these CMBS securities at December 31, 2008 attributed a 10% weighting to the pricing sourced from the third party service. This weighting of multiple valuation techniques is permitted both by SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-3 and produces a more representative measure of the fair values of these CMBS securities in the circumstances. The fair value of these CMBS securities at December 31, 2008 was approximately $358.2 million. The Level 2 classification continues to include approximately $1,843.0 million AAA-rated mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including AAA senior CMBS, for which the observability of market inputs to their pricing models is supported by sufficient, albeit more recently volatile, market activity in these sectors. Determinations to classify fair value measures within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy generally are based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. In addition to the CMBS securities described above, included in the Level 3 classification at December 31, 2008 were approximately $458.4 million of fixed maturities with indicative pricing obtained from brokers that otherwise could not be corroborated to market observable data. The Company applies various due-diligence procedures, as considered appropriate, to validate the pricing of investments classified as Level 3, including back-testing to historical prices, benchmarking to similar securities, and internal review by a valuation committee. Level 3 also includes the GMIB reinsurance asset and the GWBL features' liability, which are accounted for as derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The GMIB reinsurance asset reflects the present value of reinsurance premiums and recoveries and risk margins over a range of market consistent economic scenarios while the GWBL related liability reflects the present value of expected future payments (benefits) less the fees, adjusted for risk margins, attributable to the GWBL feature valued as an embedded derivative over a range of market-consistent economic scenarios. The valuation of both the asset and liability just described incorporates significant non-observable assumptions related to policyholder behavior, risk margins and projections of Separate Account funds. The Company defines fair value as the quoted market prices for those instruments that are actively traded in financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured using present value or other valuation techniques. The fair value determinations are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such adjustments do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments are excluded from fair value disclosures, particularly insurance liabilities other than financial guarantees and investment contracts. Fair market values of off-balance-sheet financial instruments of the Insurance Group were not material at December 31, 2008 and 2007. F-16 Fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are measured by discounting future contractual cash flows using interest rates at which loans with similar characteristics and credit quality would be made. Fair values for foreclosed mortgage loans and problem mortgage loans are limited to the fair value of the underlying collateral if lower. The fair values for the Company's association plan contracts, supplementary contracts not involving life contingencies ("SCNILC") and certain annuities, which are included in policyholders' account balances, and guaranteed interest contracts are estimated using projected cash flows discounted at rates reflecting expected current offering rates. The fair values for variable deferred annuities and single premium deferred annuities, included in policyholders' account balances, are estimated as the discounted value of projected account values. Current account values are projected to the time of the next crediting rate review at the current crediting rates and are projected beyond that date at the greater of current estimated market rates offered on new policies or the guaranteed minimum crediting rate. Expected cash flows and projected account values are discounted back to the present at the current estimated market rates. Fair values for long-term debt are determined using published market values, where available, or contractual cash flows discounted at market interest rates. The fair values for non-recourse mortgage debt are determined by discounting contractual cash flows at a rate that takes into account the level of current market interest rates and collateral risk. The fair values for recourse mortgage debt are determined by discounting contractual cash flows at a rate based upon current interest rates of other companies with credit ratings similar to the Company. The Company's carrying value of short-term borrowings approximates fair value. Recognition of Insurance Income and Related Expenses ---------------------------------------------------- Premiums from universal life and investment-type contracts are reported as deposits to policyholders' account balances. Revenues from these contracts consist of amounts assessed during the period against policyholders' account balances for mortality charges, policy administration charges and surrender charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policyholders' account balances. Premiums from participating and non-participating traditional life and annuity policies with life contingencies generally are recognized in income when due. Benefits and expenses are matched with such income so as to result in the recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. This match is accomplished by means of the provision for liabilities for future policy benefits and the deferral and subsequent amortization of policy acquisition costs. For contracts with a single premium or a limited number of premium payments due over a significantly shorter period than the total period over which benefits are provided, premiums are recorded as revenue when due with any excess profit deferred and recognized in income in a constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the amount of expected future benefit payments. Premiums from individual health contracts are recognized as income over the period to which the premiums relate in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided. DAC --- Acquisition costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new and renewal insurance business, including commissions, underwriting, agency and policy issue expenses, are deferred. DAC is subject to recoverability testing at the time of policy issue and loss recognition testing at the end of each accounting period. For universal life products and investment-type products, DAC is amortized over the expected total life of the contract group as a constant percentage of estimated gross profits arising principally from investment results, Separate Account fees, mortality and expense margins and surrender charges based on historical and anticipated future experience, updated at the end of each accounting period. When estimated gross profits are expected to be negative for multiple years of a contract life, DAC is amortized using the present value of estimated assessments. The effect on the amortization of DAC of revisions to estimated gross profits or F-17 assessments is reflected in earnings in the period such estimated gross profits or assessments are revised. A decrease in expected gross profits or assessments would accelerate DAC amortization. Conversely, an increase in expected gross profits or assessments would slow DAC amortization. The effect on the DAC asset that would result from realization of unrealized gains (losses) is recognized with an offset to accumulated comprehensive income in consolidated shareholder's equity as of the balance sheet date. A significant assumption in the amortization of DAC on variable and interest-sensitive life insurance and variable annuities relates to projected future Separate Account performance. Management sets estimated future gross profit assumptions related to Separate Account performance using a long-term view of expected average market returns by applying a reversion to the mean approach. In applying this approach to develop estimates of future returns, it is assumed that the market will return to an average gross long-term return estimate, developed with reference to historical long-term equity market performance and subject to assessment of the reasonableness of resulting estimates of future return assumptions. For purposes of making this reasonableness assessment, management has set limitations as to maximum and minimum future rate of return assumptions, as well as a limitation on the duration of use of these maximum or minimum rates of return. At December 31, 2008, the average gross short-term and long-term annual return estimate is 9.0% (6.7% net of product weighted average Separate Account fees), and the gross maximum and minimum annual rate of return limitations are 15.0% (12.7% net of product weighted average Separate Account fees) and 0.0% ((2.3%) net of product weighted average Separate Account fees), respectively. The maximum duration over which these rate limitations may be applied is 5 years. This approach will continue to be applied in future periods. If actual market returns continue at levels that would result in assuming future market returns of 15.0% for more than 5 years in order to reach the average gross long-term return estimate, the application of the 5 year maximum duration limitation would result in an acceleration of DAC amortization. Conversely, actual market returns resulting in assumed future market returns of 0.0% for more than 5 years would result in a required deceleration of DAC amortization. As of December 31, 2008, current projections of future average gross market returns assume a 9% return for 2009 through 2013, which is within the maximum and minimum limitations. At the end of each accounting period, the present value of estimated gross profits or assessments is updated based on historical and anticipated future experience. Due primarily to the significant reduction in Separate Accounts balances in fourth quarter 2008 and a change in the estimate of average gross short-term annual return on Separate Account balances to 9.0%, estimated gross profits on a U.S. GAAP basis for certain issue years of the Accumulator(R) product line of variable annuities are expected to be negative due to the recognition of derivative gains in earnings, while the reserves do not fully reflect the immediate impact of equity and interest market fluctuations. Therefore, the amortization method was changed from a methodology that uses the present value of estimated gross profits to the present value of estimated assessments. In addition, projections of future mortality assumptions related to variable and interest-sensitive life products are based on a long-term average of actual experience. This assumption is updated quarterly to reflect recent experience as it emerges. Improvement of life mortality in future periods from that currently projected would result in future deceleration of DAC amortization. Conversely, deterioration of life mortality in future periods from that currently projected would result in future acceleration of DAC amortization. Generally, life mortality experience has been improving in recent years. Other significant assumptions underlying gross profit estimates relate to contract persistency and General Account investment spread. For participating traditional life policies (substantially all of which are in the Closed Block), DAC is amortized over the expected total life of the contract group as a constant percentage based on the present value of the estimated gross margin amounts expected to be realized over the life of the contracts using the expected investment yield. At December 31, 2008, the average rate of assumed investment yields, excluding policy loans, was 6.2% grading to 6.0% over 10 years. Estimated gross margin includes anticipated premiums and investment results less claims and administrative expenses, changes in the net level premium reserve and expected annual policyholder dividends. The effect on the accumulated amortization of DAC of revisions to estimated gross margins is reflected in earnings in the period such estimated gross margins are revised. The effect on the DAC asset that would result from realization of unrealized gains (losses) is recognized with an offset to accumulated comprehensive income in consolidated shareholder's equity as of the balance sheet date. F-18 For non-participating traditional life policies, DAC is amortized in proportion to anticipated premiums. Assumptions as to anticipated premiums are estimated at the date of policy issue and are consistently applied during the life of the contracts. Deviations from estimated experience are reflected in earnings in the period such deviations occur. For these contracts, the amortization periods generally are for the total life of the policy. Contractholder Bonus Interest Credits ------------------------------------- Contractholder bonus interest credits are offered on certain deferred annuity products in the form of either immediate bonus interest credited or enhanced interest crediting rates for a period of time. The interest crediting expense associated with these contractholder bonus interest credits is deferred and amortized over the lives of the underlying contracts in a manner consistent with the amortization of DAC. Unamortized balances are included in Other assets. Policyholders' Account Balances and Future Policy Benefits ---------------------------------------------------------- Policyholders' account balances for universal life and investment-type contracts are equal to the policy account values. The policy account values represent an accumulation of gross premium payments plus credited interest less expense and mortality charges and withdrawals. AXA Equitable issues certain variable annuity products with GMDB and GWBL features and guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits ("GMAB"). AXA Equitable also issues certain variable annuity products that contain a GMIB feature which, if elected by the policyholder after a stipulated waiting period from contract issuance, guarantees a minimum lifetime annuity based on predetermined annuity purchase rates that may be in excess of what the contract account value can purchase at then-current annuity purchase rates. This minimum lifetime annuity is based on predetermined annuity purchase rates applied to a guaranteed minimum income benefit base. Reserves for GMDB and GMIB obligations are calculated on the basis of actuarial assumptions related to projected benefits and related contract charges generally over the lives of the contracts using assumptions consistent with those used in estimating gross profits for purposes of amortizing DAC. The determination of this estimated liability is based on models that involve numerous estimates and subjective judgments, including those regarding expected market rates of return and volatility, contract surrender and withdrawal rates, mortality experience, and, for contracts with the GMIB feature, GMIB election rates. Assumptions regarding Separate Account performance used for purposes of this calculation are set using a long-term view of expected average market returns by applying a reversion to the mean approach, consistent with that used for DAC amortization. There can be no assurance that ultimate actual experience will not differ from management's estimates. For reinsurance contracts other than those covering GMIB exposure, reinsurance recoverable balances are calculated using methodologies and assumptions that are consistent with those used to calculate the direct liabilities. Deferred cost of reinsurance associated with the reinsurance of GMDB and GMIB riders is amortized over the life of the underlying annuity contracts based on assessments. For participating traditional life policies, future policy benefit liabilities are calculated using a net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions equal to guaranteed mortality and dividend fund interest rates. The liability for annual dividends represents the accrual of annual dividends earned. Terminal dividends are accrued in proportion to gross margins over the life of the contract. For non-participating traditional life insurance policies, future policy benefit liabilities are estimated using a net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions as to mortality, persistency and interest established at policy issue. Assumptions established at policy issue as to mortality and persistency are based on the Insurance Group's experience that, together with interest and expense assumptions, includes a margin for adverse deviation. When the liabilities for future policy benefits plus the present value of expected future gross premiums for a product are insufficient to provide for expected future policy benefits and expenses for that product, DAC is written off and thereafter, if required, a premium deficiency reserve is established by a charge to earnings. Benefit liabilities for traditional annuities during the accumulation period are equal to accumulated contractholders' fund balances and, after annuitization, are equal to the present value of expected future payments. Interest rates used in establishing such liabilities range from 4.0% to 10.9% for life insurance liabilities and from 2.35% to 8.7% for annuity liabilities. F-19 Individual health benefit liabilities for active lives are estimated using the net level premium method and assumptions as to future morbidity, withdrawals and interest. Benefit liabilities for disabled lives are estimated using the present value of benefits method and experience assumptions as to claim terminations, expenses and interest. While management believes its disability income ("DI") reserves have been calculated on a reasonable basis and are adequate, there can be no assurance reserves will be sufficient to provide for future liabilities. Policyholders' Dividends ------------------------ The amount of policyholders' dividends to be paid (including dividends on policies included in the Closed Block) is determined annually by AXA Equitable's board of directors. The aggregate amount of policyholders' dividends is related to actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year and judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained by AXA Equitable. At December 31, 2008, participating policies, including those in the Closed Block, represent approximately 9.73% ($27,200.0 million) of directly written life insurance in-force, net of amounts ceded. Separate Accounts ----------------- Generally, Separate Accounts established under New York State Insurance Law are not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of the Insurance Group. Separate Accounts assets are subject to General Account claims only to the extent Separate Accounts assets exceed Separate Accounts liabilities. Assets and liabilities of the Separate Accounts represent the net deposits and accumulated net investment earnings less fees, held primarily for the benefit of contractholders, and for which the Insurance Group does not bear the investment risk. Separate Accounts' assets and liabilities are shown on separate lines in the consolidated balance sheets. Assets held in the Separate Accounts are carried at quoted market values or, where quoted values are not readily available or accessible for these securities, their fair value measures most often are determined through the use of model pricing that effectively discounts prospective cash flows to present value using appropriate sector adjusted credit spreads commensurate with the security's duration, also taking into consideration issuer-specific credit quality and liquidity. The assets and liabilities of three Separate Accounts are presented and accounted for as General Account assets and liabilities due to the fact that not all of the investment performance in those Separate Accounts is passed through to policyholders. Investment assets in these Separate Accounts principally consist of fixed maturities that are classified as available for sale in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The investment results of Separate Accounts, including unrealized (losses) gains, on which the Insurance Group does not bear the investment risk are reflected directly in Separate Accounts liabilities and are not reported in revenues in the consolidated statements of earnings. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, investment results of such Separate Accounts were (losses) gains of $(33,912.8) million, $5,347.4 million and $5,689.1 million, respectively. Deposits to Separate Accounts are reported as increases in Separate Accounts liabilities and are not reported in revenues. Mortality, policy administration and surrender charges on all policies including those funded by Separate Accounts are included in revenues. The Company reports the General Account's interests in Separate Accounts as Trading securities in the consolidated balance sheets. Recognition of Investment Management Revenues and Related Expenses ------------------------------------------------------------------ Commissions, fees and other income principally include the Investment Management segment's investment advisory and service fees, distribution revenues and institutional research services revenue. Investment advisory and service base fees, generally calculated as a percentage, referred to as basis points ("BPs"), of assets under management, are recorded as revenue as the related services are performed; they include brokerage transactions charges received by SCB LLC, for certain retail, private client and institutional investment client transactions. Certain investment advisory contracts, including those with hedge funds, provide for a performance-based fee, in addition to or in lieu of a base fee that is calculated as either a percentage of absolute investment results or a percentage of the investment results in excess of or shortfall compared to a stated benchmark over a specified period of time. Performance-based fees are recorded as F-20 revenue at the end of each contract's measurement period. Institutional research services revenue consists of brokerage transaction charges received by SCB LLC and SCBL, for independent research and brokerage-related services provided to institutional investors. Brokerage transaction charges earned and related expenses are recorded on a trade date basis. Distribution revenues and shareholder servicing fees are accrued as earned. Commissions paid to financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of shares of open-end AllianceBernstein sponsored mutual funds sold without a front-end sales charge ("back-end load shares") are capitalized as deferred sales commissions and amortized over periods not exceeding five and one-half years for U.S. fund shares and four years for non-U.S. fund shares, the periods of time during which the deferred sales commissions are generally recovered. These commissions are recovered from distribution services fees received from those funds and from contingent deferred sales commissions ("CDSC") received from shareholders of those funds upon the redemption of their shares. CDSC cash recoveries are recorded as reductions of unamortized deferred sales commissions when received. AllianceBernstein's management tests the deferred sales commission asset for recoverability quarterly. AllianceBernstein's management determines recoverability by estimating undiscounted future cash flows to be realized from this asset, as compared to its recorded amount, as well as the estimated remaining life of the deferred sales commission asset over which undiscounted future cash flows are expected to be received. Undiscounted future cash flows consist of ongoing distribution services fees and CDSC. Distribution services fees are calculated as a percentage of average assets under management related to back-end load shares. CDSC are based on the lower of cost or current value, at the time of redemption, of back-end load shares redeemed and the point at which redeemed during the applicable minimum holding period under the mutual fund distribution system. Significant assumptions utilized to estimate future average assets under management and undiscounted future cash flows from back-end load shares include expected future market levels and redemption rates. Market assumptions are selected using a long-term view of expected average market returns based on historical returns of broad market indices. Future redemption rate assumptions are determined by reference to actual redemption experience over the five-year, three-year and one-year periods and current quarterly periods ended December 31, 2008. These assumptions are updated periodically. Estimates of undiscounted future cash flows and the remaining life of the deferred sales commission asset are made from these assumptions and the aggregate undiscounted cash flows are compared to the recorded value of the deferred sales commission asset. If AllianceBernstein's management determines in the future that the deferred sales commission asset is not recoverable, an impairment condition would exist and a loss would be measured as the amount by which the recorded amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is determined using AllianceBernstein's management's best estimate of future cash flows discounted to a present value amount. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ------------------------------------ Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets of acquired companies, and relates principally to the Bernstein Acquisition and purchases of AllianceBernstein units. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill is tested annually for impairment and at interim periods if events or circumstances indicate an impairment could have occurred. Based on the 2008 impairment testing performed as of December 31, 2008, management determined that goodwill was not impaired. Intangible assets related to the Bernstein Acquisition and purchases of AllianceBernstein units include values assigned to contracts of businesses acquired. These intangible assets continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of twenty years. Other intangible assets are tested for impairment quarterly. Management believes that other intangible assets were not impaired at December 31, 2008. Other Accounting Policies ------------------------- Capitalized internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software that ranges between one and nine years. F-21 AXA Financial and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Company, file a consolidated Federal income tax return. Current Federal income taxes are charged or credited to operations based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between financial statement carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates and laws. Discontinued operations include real estate held-for-sale. Real estate investments meeting the following criteria are classified as real estate held-for-sale: o Management having the authority to approve the action commits the organization to a plan to sell the property. o The property is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for the sale of such assets. o An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated and are continuing. o The sale of the asset is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year. o The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. o Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Real estate held-for-sale is stated at depreciated cost less valuation allowances. Valuation allowances on real estate held-for-sale are computed using the lower of depreciated cost or current estimated fair value, net of disposition costs. Depreciation is discontinued on real estate held-for-sale. Real estate held-for-sale is included in the Other assets line in the consolidated balance sheets. The results of operations for real estate held-for-sale in each of the three years ended December 31, 2008 were not significant.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company had trading fixed maturities with an amortized cost of $79.6 million and $105.3 million and carrying values of $76.2 million and $106.2 million. Gross unrealized gains on trading fixed maturities were $0.1 million and $1.0 million and gross unrealized losses were $3.5 million and $0.1 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company determines the fair value of fixed maturities and equity securities based upon quoted prices in active markets, when available, or through the use of alternative approaches when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. These alternative approaches include matrix or model pricing and use of independent pricing services, each supported by reference to principal market trades or other observable market assumptions for similar securities. More specifically, the matrix pricing approach to fair value is a discounted cash flow methodology that incorporates market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment.

Bonds not due at a single maturity date have been included in the above table in the year of final maturity. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The Company's management, with the assistance of its investment advisors, monitors the investment performance of its portfolio. This review process includes a quarterly review of certain assets by the Insurance Group's Investments Under Surveillance Committee that evaluates whether any investments are other than temporarily impaired. Based on the analysis, a determination is made as to the ability of the issuer to service its debt obligations on an ongoing basis. If this ability is deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, then the appropriate provisions are taken. The following table discloses the 1,373 issues of fixed maturities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than a twelve month period and greater than a twelve month period as of December 31, 2008:

The Insurance Group's fixed maturity investment portfolio includes corporate high yield securities consisting primarily of public high yield bonds. These corporate high yield securities are classified as other than investment grade by the various rating agencies, i.e., a rating below Baa3/BBB- or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") designation of 3 (medium grade), 4 or 5 (below investment grade) or 6 (in or near default). At December 31, 2008, approximately $900.4 million or 3.5% of the $26,211.0 million F-24 aggregate amortized cost of fixed maturities held by the Company was considered to be other than investment grade. The Insurance Group does not originate, purchase or warehouse residential mortgages and is not in the mortgage servicing business. The Insurance Group's fixed maturity investment portfolio includes Residential Mortgage Backed Securities ("RMBS") backed by subprime and Alt-A residential mortgages. RMBS are securities whose cash flows are backed by the principal and interest payments from a set of residential mortgage loans. RMBS backed by subprime and Alt-A residential mortgages consist of loans made by banks or mortgage lenders to residential borrowers with lower credit ratings. The criteria used to categorize such subprime borrowers include Fair Isaac Credit Organization ("FICO") scores, interest rates charged, debt-to-income ratios and loan-to-value ratios. Alt-A residential mortgages are mortgage loans where the risk profile falls between prime and subprime; borrowers typically have clean credit histories but the mortgage loan has an increased risk profile due to higher loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios and /or inadequate documentation of the borrowers' income. At December 31, 2008, the Insurance Group owned $49.1 million in RMBS backed by subprime residential mortgage loans, approximately 76% rated AAA, and $26.9 million in RMBS backed by Alt-A residential mortgage loans, approximately 82% of which were rated AAA. RMBS backed by subprime and Alt-A residential mortgages are fixed income investments supporting General Account liabilities. At December 31, 2008, the carrying value of fixed maturities that were non-income producing for the twelve months preceding that date was $21.2 million. Mortgage Loans -------------- The payment terms of mortgage loans on real estate may from time to time be restructured or modified. There were no restructured mortgage loans on real estate, based on amortized cost, at December 31, 2008 or 2007. Gross interest income on such loans included in net investment income aggregated zero, $3.9 million and $4.1 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gross interest income on restructured mortgage loans on real estate that would have been recorded in accordance with the original terms of such loans amounted to zero, $3.3 million and $4.8 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were no impaired mortgage loans at December 31, 2008. Impaired mortgage loans along with the related investment valuation allowances at December 31, 2007 follow:
December 31, 2007 -------------- (In Millions) Impaired mortgage loans with investment valuation allowances....... $ 11.4 Impaired mortgage loans without investment valuation allowances.... - -------------- Recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans..................... 11.4 Investment valuation allowances.................................... (1.4) -------------- Net Impaired Mortgage Loans........................................ $ 10.0 ==============
During 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company's average recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans was $7.4 million, $49.1 million and $78.8 million. Interest income recognized on these impaired mortgage loans totaled $0.6 million, $4.5 million, and, $4.5 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Mortgage loans on real estate are placed on nonaccrual status once management believes the collection of accrued interest is doubtful. Once mortgage loans on real estate are classified as nonaccrual loans, interest income is recognized under the cash basis of accounting and the resumption of the interest accrual would commence only after all past due interest has been collected or the mortgage loan on real estate has been restructured to where the collection of interest is considered likely. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the carrying value of mortgage loans on real estate that had been classified as nonaccrual loans were zero and $10.0 million. F-25 Equity Real Estate ------------------ The Insurance Group's investment in equity real estate is through direct ownership and through investments in real estate joint ventures. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company owned zero and $113.0 million of real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, no real estate was acquired in satisfaction of debt. Accumulated depreciation on real estate was $189.8 million and $179.7 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Depreciation expense on real estate totaled $12.8 million, $14.2 million and $18.3 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Valuation Allowances for Mortgage Loans and Equity Real Estate Investment valuation allowances for mortgage loans and equity real estate and changes thereto follow:

Equity Method Investments ------------------------- Included in other equity investments, are interests in limited partnership interests and investment companies accounted for under the equity method with a total carrying value of $1,414.6 million and $1,607.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008 and 2007. Included in equity real estate are interests in real estate joint ventures accounted for under the equity method with a total carrying value of $48.3 million and $59.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company's total equity in net (losses) earnings for these real estate joint ventures and limited partnership interests was $(58.1) million, $237.1 million and $169.6 million, respectively, for 2008, 2007 and 2006. F-26 Summarized below is the combined financial information only for those real estate joint ventures and for those limited partnership interests accounted for under the equity method in which the Company has an investment of $10.0 million or greater and an equity interest of 10% or greater (4 individual ventures at both December 31, 2008 and 2007) and the Company's carrying value and equity in net earnings for those real estate joint ventures and limited partnership interests:

Derivatives ----------- At December 31, 2008, the Company had open exchange-traded futures positions on the S&P 500, Russell 1000, NASDAQ 100 and Emerging Market indices, having initial margin requirements of $453.3 million. At December 31, 2008, the Company had open exchange-traded futures positions on the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note, having initial margin requirements of $101.2 million. At that same date, the Company had open exchange-trade future positions on the Euro Stoxx, FTSE 100, European, Australasia, Far East ("EAFE") and Topix indices as well as corresponding currency futures on the Euro/U.S. dollar, Yen/U.S. dollar and Pound/U.S. dollar, having initial margin requirements of $150.2 million. All exchange-traded futures contracts are net cash settled daily. F-27 At December 31, 2008, the Company had $1,750.0 million open exchange-traded options on the S&P index to mature on January 19, 2010, consisting of a long put and short call on the index with strike prices of 881.7 and 1,021.2, respectively, and a short put position at 613.5. These positions were established in fourth quarter 2008 to mitigate the adverse effects of equity market declines on AXA Equitable statutory reserves and protect downside equity exposure to 30% but limit the opportunity for upside to approximately 16%. The contracts have not been designated as qualifying hedges under SFAS No. 133, consequently, changes in their fair values are reflected immediately in earnings. Investment income recorded on these derivatives totaled $7.1 million. The outstanding notional amounts of derivative financial instruments purchased and sold at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were:

At December 31, 2008 and 2007 and during the years then ended, no significant financial instruments contained implicit or explicit terms that met the definition of an embedded derivative component that needed to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. In 2008, the Company executed various collateral arrangements with counterparties to over-the-counter derivative transactions, primarily used in its hedging programs for managing GMDB, GMIB and GWBL exposures, that require both the pledging and accepting of collateral (either in the form of cash or high-quality Treasury or government agency securities). At December 31, 2008, the Company held $568.7 million in cash collateral delivered by trade counterparties, representing the fair value of the related derivative agreements. This unrestricted cash collateral is reported in Cash and cash equivalents, and the obligation to return it is reported in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company held approximately $40.0 million U.S. Treasury securities under these collateral agreements at December 31, 2008. 4) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The carrying value of goodwill related to AllianceBernstein totaled $3,413.8 million and $3,412.1 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company tests this goodwill for recoverability each annual reporting period at December 31 and at interim periods if facts or circumstances are indicative of potential impairment. In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 142, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2008 and 2007 as the fair value of its investment in AllianceBernstein, the reporting unit, exceeded its carrying value at each respective measurement date. However, significant declines in AllianceBernstein's assets under management and operating results in 2008 as a result of the global financial crisis decreased the amount of the excess as compared to 2007. In addition, although the market price of AllianceBernstein Holding Units exceeded their book value at December 31, 2008 and 2007, their market value significantly decreased year-over-year. The Company primarily uses a discounted cash flow valuation technique to measure the fair value of its AllianceBernstein reporting unit for purpose of goodwill impairment testing. The underlying cash flows used in the December 31, 2008 valuation were sourced from AllianceBernstein's current business plan, which factored in current market conditions and all material events that have impacted, or that management believed at the time could potentially impact, future discounted expected cash flows for the first four years and a 7.4% compounded annual growth rate thereafter. The Company discounted these cash flows at approximately 8.2%. The resulting amount, net of minority interest, was tax-effected to reflect taxes incurred at the Company. F-28 The gross carrying amount of AllianceBernstein related intangible assets were $553.8 million and $556.2 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and the accumulated amortization of these intangible assets were $265.3 million and $243.7 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to the AllianceBernstein intangible assets totaled $23.7 million, $23.5 million and $23.6 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years is expected to be approximately $21.4 million. AllianceBernstein tests intangible assets for impairment quarterly by comparing their fair value, as determined by applying a present value technique to expected cash flows, to their carrying value. Each quarter, significant assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows from these intangible assets, primarily investment management contracts, are updated to reflect management's consideration of current market conditions on expectations made with respect to customer account attrition and asset growth rates. As of December 31, 2008, AllianceBernstein determined that these intangible assets were not impaired. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, net deferred sales commissions totaled $113.5 million and $183.6 million are included within the Investment Management segment's Other assets. The estimated amortization expense of deferred sales commissions based on the December 31, 2008 net asset balance for each of the next five years is $51.1 million, $32.4 million, $18.9 million, $8.2 million and $2.7 million. AllianceBernstein tests the deferred sales commission asset for impairment quarterly by comparing undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value, net of accumulated amortization. Each quarter, significant assumptions used to estimate the future cash flows are updated to reflect management's consideration of current market conditions on expectations made with respect to future market levels and redemption rates. As of December 31, 2008, AllianceBernstein determined that the deferred sales commission asset was not impaired. To the extent that securities valuations remain depressed for prolonged periods of time and market conditions stagnate or worsen as a result of the global financial crisis, AllianceBernstein's assets under management, revenues, profitability, and unit price likely would be adversely affected. As a result, more frequent impairment testing may be required and potentially could result in an impairment of the goodwill, intangible assets, and/or deferred sales commission asset attributable to AllianceBernstein. In addition, subsequent impairment testing may be based upon different assumptions and future cash flow projections than used at December 31, 2008 as management's current business plan could be negatively impacted by other risks to which AllianceBernstein's business is subject, including, but not limited to, retention of investment management contracts, selling and distribution agreements, and existing relationships with clients and various financial intermediaries. Any impairment would reduce the recorded goodwill, intangible assets, and/or deferred sales commission asset amounts with a corresponding charge to earnings.

8) GMDB, GMIB AND NO LAPSE GUARANTEE FEATURES A) Variable Annuity Contracts - GMDB, GMIB and GWBL The Company has certain variable annuity contracts with GMDB, GMIB and/or GWBL features in-force that guarantee one of the following: o Return of Premium: the benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals); o Ratchet: the benefit is the greatest of current account value, premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals), or the highest account value on any anniversary up to contractually specified ages (adjusted for withdrawals); o Roll-Up: the benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals) accumulated at contractually specified interest rates up to specified ages; or o Combo: the benefit is the greater of the ratchet benefit or the roll-up benefit which may include a five year or annual reset; or o Withdrawal: the withdrawal is guaranteed up to a maximum amount per year for life. F-34 The following table summarizes the GMDB and GMIB liabilities, before reinsurance ceded, reflected in the General Account in future policy benefits and other policyholders liabilities:

F-35 The December 31, 2008 values for variable annuity contracts in-force on such date with GMDB and GMIB features are presented in the following table. For contracts with the GMDB feature, the net amount at risk in the event of death is the amount by which the GMDB benefits exceed related account values. For contracts with the GMIB feature, the net amount at risk in the event of annuitization is the amount by which the present value of the GMIB benefits exceeds related account values, taking into account the relationship between current annuity purchase rates and the GMIB guaranteed annuity purchase rates. Since variable annuity contracts with GMDB guarantees may also offer GMIB guarantees in the same contract, the GMDB and GMIB amounts listed are not mutually exclusive:
RETURN OF PREMIUM RATCHET ROLL-UP COMBO TOTAL -------------- -------------- -------------- ------------- --------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) GMDB: ----- Account values invested in: General Account.................. $ 10,966 $ 329 $ 301 $ 925 $ 12,521 Separate Accounts................ $ 19,435 $ 5,680 $ 4,304 $ 24,633 $ 54,052 Net amount at risk, gross........... $ 6,079 $ 2,921 $ 3,622 $ 13,273 $ 25,895 Net amount at risk, net of amounts reinsured................ $ 6,079 $ 1,846 $ 2,427 $ 5,769 $ 16,121 Average attained age of contractholders.................. 49.4 61.9 65.9 61.9 53.1 Percentage of contractholders over age 70....................... 7.4% 24.0% 39.5% 22.1% 12.5% Range of contractually specified interest rates..................

The GWBL related liability, which reflects the present value of expected future payments (benefits) less the fees attributable to the GWBL feature valued as an embedded derivative over a range of market consistent economic scenarios, was $272.6 million at December 31, 2008. F-36 B) Separate Account Investments by Investment Category Underlying GMDB and GMIB Features ------------------------------------------------------------------- The total account values of variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB features include amounts allocated to the guaranteed interest option which is part of the General Account and variable investment options that invest through Separate Accounts in variable insurance trusts. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of assets, by major investment category, held by Separate Accounts that support variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB benefits and guarantees. The investment performance of the assets impacts the related account values and, consequently, the net amount of risk associated with the GMDB and GMIB benefits and guarantees. Since variable annuity contracts with GMDB benefits and guarantees may also offer GMIB benefits and guarantees in each contract, the GMDB and GMIB amounts listed are not mutually exclusive: INVESTMENT IN VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST MUTUAL FUNDS

C) Hedging Programs for GMDB, GMIB and GWBL Features ------------------------------------------------- Beginning in 2003, AXA Equitable established a program intended to hedge certain risks associated first with the GMDB feature and, beginning in 2004, with the GMIB feature of the Accumulator(R) series of variable annuity products. This program currently utilizes exchange-traded futures contracts, interest rate swap and floor contracts and other derivative instruments that are managed in an effort to reduce the economic impact of unfavorable changes in GMDB, GMIB and GWBL exposures attributable to movements in the equity and fixed income markets. At the present time, this program hedges such economic risks on products sold from 2001 forward, to the extent such risks are not reinsured. At December 31, 2008, the total account value and net amount at risk of the hedged Accumulator(R) series of variable annuity contracts were $27,668 million and $10,615 million, respectively, with the GMDB feature and $15,514 million and $623 million, respectively, with the GMIB feature. These programs do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133. Therefore, SFAS No. 133 requires gains or losses on the derivatives contracts used in these programs, including current period changes in fair value, to be recognized in investment income in the period in which they occur, and may contribute to earnings volatility. D) Variable and Interest-Sensitive Life Insurance Policies - No Lapse Guarantee ------------------------------------------------------------------ The no lapse guarantee feature contained in variable and interest- sensitive life insurance policies keeps them in force in situations where the policy value is not sufficient to cover monthly charges then due. The no lapse guarantee remains in effect so long as the policy meets a contractually specified premium funding test and certain other requirements. F-37 The following table summarizes the no lapse guarantee liabilities reflected in the General Account in Future policy benefits and other policyholders liabilities, and the related reinsurance ceded:
DIRECT REINSURANCE LIABILITY CEDED NET -------------- --------------- ------------- (IN MILLIONS) Balance at January 1, 2006......................... $ 34.8 $ (20.4) $ 14.4 Other changes in reserve........................ 32.0 (27.5) 4.5 -------------- --------------- ------------- Balance at December 31, 2006....................... 66.8 (47.9) 18.9 Other changes in reserve........................ 68.2 (59.7) 8.5 -------------- --------------- ------------- Balance at December 31, 2007....................... 135.0 (107.6) 27.4 Other changes in reserve........................ 68.0 (45.0) 23.0 -------------- --------------- ------------- Balance at December 31, 2008....................... $ 203.0 $ (152.6) $ 50.4 ============== =============== =============
9) REINSURANCE AGREEMENTS The Insurance Group assumes and cedes reinsurance with other insurance companies. The Insurance Group evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Ceded reinsurance does not relieve the originating insurer of liability. The Insurance Group reinsures most of its new variable life, universal life and term life policies on an excess of retention basis. The Insurance Group maintains a maximum retention on each single life policy of $25 million and on each second-to-die policy of $30 million with the excess 100% reinsured. The Insurance Group also reinsures the entire risk on certain substandard underwriting risks and in certain other cases. Likewise, certain risks that would otherwise be reinsured on a proportional basis have been retained. At December 31, 2008, the Company had reinsured to non-affiliates and affiliates in the aggregate approximately 5.4% and 32.3%, respectively, of its current exposure to the GMDB obligation on annuity contracts in-force and, subject to certain maximum amounts or caps in any one period, approximately 65.1% of its current liability exposure resulting from the GMIB feature. See Note 8 herein. Based on management's estimates of future contract cash flows and experience, the estimated fair values of the GMIB reinsurance contracts, considered derivatives under SFAS No. 133, at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $4,821.7 million and $124.7 million, respectively. The increases (decreases) in fair value were $1,566.8 million, $6.9 million and $(14.8) million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, third party reinsurance recoverables related to insurance contracts amounted to $2,897.2 million and $2,890.6 million. Reinsurance payables related to insurance contracts totaling $62.7 million and $58.7 million are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Insurance Group cedes substantially all of its group life and health business to a third party insurer. Insurance liabilities ceded totaled $236.8 million and $239.6 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Insurance Group also cedes a portion of its extended term insurance and paid up life insurance and substantially all of its individual disability income business through various coinsurance agreements. The Insurance Group has also assumed accident, health, aviation and space risks by participating in or reinsuring various reinsurance pools and arrangements. In addition to the sale of insurance products, the Insurance Group currently acts as a professional retrocessionaire by assuming life and annuity reinsurance from professional reinsurers. Reinsurance assumed reserves at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $719.8 million and $642.8 million, respectively. F-38 The following table summarizes the effect of reinsurance (excluding group life and health):

Individual Disability Income and Major Medical Claim reserves and associated liabilities net of reinsurance ceded for individual DI and major medical policies were $94.4 million and $94.3 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, $1,680.8 million and $1,040.9 million of DI reserves and associated liabilities were ceded through indemnity reinsurance agreements with a singular reinsurance group. Incurred benefits (benefits paid plus changes in claim reserves) and benefits paid for individual DI and major medical policies are summarized below:

F-39 Short-term Debt --------------- On September 23, 2008, AXA Equitable repaid its $350.0 million promissory note, $101.7 million of which was included in Wind-up Annuities discontinued operations. On July 17, 2008, AXA Equitable was accepted as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") which provides AXA Equitable access to collateralized borrowings and other FHLBNY products. As membership requires the ownership of member stock, AXA Equitable purchased stock totaling $13.5 million. The credit facility provided by the FHLBNY will supplement existing liquidity sources and provide a diverse and reliable source of funds. Any borrowings from the FHLBNY require the purchase of FHLBNY activity based stock in an amount equal to 4.5% of the borrowings. AXA Equitable's borrowing capacity with FHLBNY is $1.00 billion. As a member of FHLBNY, AXA Equitable can receive advances for which it would be required to pledge qualified mortgage-backed assets and government securities as collateral. At December 31, 2008, there were no outstanding borrowings from FHLBNY. As of December 31, 2008, SCB LLC maintained five separate uncommitted credit facilities with various banks totaling $775 million. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, no amounts were outstanding under these credit facilities. Each loan shall bear interest at the rate of interest agreed to by the lender and the borrower at the time such loan is made. In January 2008, SCB LLC entered into a $950.0 million three-year revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks to fund its obligations resulting from engaging in certain securities trading and other customer activities. Under the revolving credit facility, the interest rate, at the option of SCB LLC, is a floating rate generally based upon a defined prime rate, a rate related to LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate. AllianceBernstein has a $1,000.0 million five-year revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks and other lenders which expires in 2011. The revolving credit facility is intended to provide back-up liquidity for their $1,000.0 million commercial paper program although they borrow directly under the facility from time to time. Under the revolving credit facility, the interest rate, at the option of AllianceBernstein, is a floating rate generally based upon a defined prime rate, a rate related to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or the Federal Funds rate. The revolving credit facility contains covenants which, among other things, require AllianceBernstein to meet certain financial ratios. AllianceBernstein was in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2008. Long-term Debt -------------- At December 31, 2008, the Company was not in breach of any debt covenants. 11) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company reimburses AXA Financial for expenses relating to the Excess Retirement Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and certain other employee benefit plans that provide participants with medical, life insurance, and deferred compensation benefits. Such reimbursement was based on the cost to AXA Financial of the benefits provided which totaled $76.2 million, $63.1 million and $53.5 million, respectively, for 2008, 2007 and 2006. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company paid AXA Distribution and its subsidiaries $754.2 million, $806.9 million and $767.2 million of commissions and fees for sales of insurance products. The Company charged AXA Distribution's subsidiaries $320.5 million, $340.2 million and $352.9 million, respectively, for their applicable share of operating expenses in 2008, 2007 and 2006, pursuant to the Agreements for Services. In September 2001, AXA Equitable loaned $400.0 million to AXA Insurance Holding Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of AXA. This investment both matured and was repaid on June 15, 2007 and had an interest rate of 5.89%. In 2005, AXA Equitable issued a note to AXA Financial in the amount of $325.0 million with an interest rate of 6.00% and a maturity date of December 1, 2035. Interest on this note is payable semi-annually. F-40 In September 2007, AXA issued $650.0 million in 5.40% senior unsecured notes to AXA Equitable. These notes pay interest semi-annually and mature on September 30, 2012. In November 2008, AXA Financial purchased a $500.0 million callable 7.1% surplus note from AXA Equitable. The note pays interest semi-annually and matures on December 1, 2018. In December 2008, AXA Financial purchased a $500.0 million callable 7.1% surplus note from AXA Equitable. The note pays interest semi-annually and matures on December 1, 2018. In fourth quarter 2008, AXA Equitable reinsured the GMDB and GMIB riders on the Accumulator(R) products sold on or after January 1, 2006 and in-force at September 30, 2008 with AXA Financial (Bermuda) Ltd. ("AXA Bermuda"), an affiliate that is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial. AXA Equitable transferred cash and derivative instruments with a fair value of $6,892.5 million equal to the market value of the insurance liabilities assumed by AXA Bermuda on October 1, 2008 and income derived from the hedges related to these riders for the period from October through December 2008, to that entity. AXA Bermuda will manage the dynamic hedging program to mitigate risks related to the reinsured riders. In fourth quarter 2008, AXA Equitable recorded a GMDB reinsurance recoverable and a GMIB reinsurance asset totaling $3,385.7 resulting in a cost of reinsurance of $3,506.8 million. The cost of this arrangement has been deferred and will be amortized over the life of the underlying annuity contracts. Amortization of the cost in 2009 is expected to be approximately $290 million. Various AXA affiliates cede a portion of their life and health insurance business through reinsurance agreements to AXA Cessions, an AXA affiliated reinsurer. AXA Cessions, in turn, retroceded a quota share portion of these risks to AXA Equitable on a one-year term basis for 2007 and 2006. Premiums earned in 2007 and 2006 under this arrangement totaled approximately $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Both AXA Equitable and AllianceBernstein, along with other AXA affiliates, participate in certain intercompany cost sharing and service agreements including technology and professional development arrangements. AXA Equitable and AllianceBernstein incurred expenses under such agreements of approximately $157.8 million, $143.6 million and $127.5 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Expense reimbursements by AXA and AXA affiliates to AXA Equitable under such agreements totaled approximately $63.0 million, $58.4 million and $53.8 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net receivable related to these contracts was approximately $3.4 million and $25.3 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Commissions, fees and other income included certain revenues for services provided to mutual funds managed by AllianceBernstein. These revenues are described below:

12) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company (other than AllianceBernstein) sponsors qualified and non-qualified defined benefit plans covering substantially all employees (including certain qualified part-time employees), managers and certain agents. On December 31, 2007, the Company transferred the liability for a non-qualified defined benefit plan to AXA Financial in exchange for a non-cash capital contribution totaling $13.5 million. These pension plans are non-contributory and their benefits are based on a cash balance formula and/or, for certain participants, years of service and final average earnings over a specified period in the plans. AllianceBernstein maintains a qualified, non-contributory, defined benefit retirement plan covering current and former employees who were employed by AllianceBernstein in the United States prior to October 2, 2000. AllianceBernstein's benefits are based on years of credited service and average final base salary. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension and postretirement plans. F-41 The Company made cash contributions to its qualified pension plans of $35.6 million in 2008. Generally, the Company's funding policy (other than AllianceBernstein) is to make an annual aggregate contribution to its qualified pension plans of approximately $30.0 million unless the minimum contribution required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") is greater; no significant cash contributions are expected to be required to satisfy the minimum funding requirements for 2009. AllianceBernstein's policy is to satisfy its funding obligation each year in an amount not less than the minimum required by ERISA and not greater than the maximum it can deduct for federal income tax purposes. AllianceBernstein currently estimates it will make a contribution to its qualified retirement plan of $22 million in 2009. Effective December 31, 2008, AllianceBernstein amended its qualified pension plan to eliminate all future accruals for future services and compensation increases. This amendment was considered a plan curtailment and resulted in a decrease in the Projected Benefit Obligation ("PBO") of approximately $13.1 million, which was offset against existing deferred losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, as a result of all future service being eliminated, AllianceBernstein accelerated recognition of the existing prior service credit of $3.5 million in fourth quarter 2008. Components of net periodic pension expense for the Company's qualified and non-qualified plans were as follows:
2008 2007 2006 ----------------- ---------------- ----------------- (IN MILLIONS) Service cost....................................... $ 41.6 $ 39.0 $ 37.6 Interest cost on PBO............................... 134.1 128.8 122.1 Expected return on assets..........................

The plans' PBO under the Company's qualified and non-qualified plans were comprised of:
DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------ 2008 2007 ---------------- ----------------- (IN MILLIONS) Benefit obligations, beginning of year................................. $ 2,222.1 $ 2,294.3 Service cost........................................................... 33.6 31.0 Interest cost.......................................................... 134.1 128.8 Plan amendments........................................................ - 8.2 Actuarial gains........................................................

(168.0) (166.6) ---------------- ----------------- Benefit Obligations, End of Year....................................... $ 2,181.1 $ 2,222.1 ================ =================
F-42 At December 31, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, requiring recognition, in the consolidated balance sheet, of the funded status of its defined benefit pension plans, measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the PBO. The following table discloses the change in plan assets and the funded status of the Company's qualified and non-qualified plans:
DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------------- 2008 2007 ---------------- ----------------- (IN MILLIONS) Plan assets at fair value, beginning of year.............................. $ 2,415.7 $ 2,396.0 Actual return on plan assets..............................................

Amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets to reflect the funded status of these plans were accrued pension costs of $720.7 million at December 31, 2008 and prepaid and accrued pension costs of $213.5 million and $19.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The aggregate PBOs and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets were $2,181.1 million and $1,460.4 million, respectively at December 31, 2008 and $76.7 million and $56.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The aggregate accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $2,137.7 million and $1,460.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008 and $65.0 million and $56.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The accumulated benefit obligations for all defined benefit pension plans were $2,137.7 million and $2,154.0 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The following table discloses the amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2008 that have not yet been recognized as components of net periodic pension cost:
DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------------- 2008 2007 ------------------- ------------------- (IN MILLIONS) Unrecognized net actuarial loss .................................... $ 1,497.0 $ 575.8 Unrecognized prior service cost (credit)............................ 3.2 (4.9) Unrecognized net transition asset................................... (.6) (.8) ------------------- ------------------- Total ......................................................... $ 1,499.6 $ 570.1 =================== ===================
The estimated net actuarial loss, prior service credit, and net transition asset expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized as components of net periodic pension cost over the next year are $97.3 million, $(4.2) million, and $(.1) million, respectively. The following table discloses the estimated fair value of plan assets and the percentage of estimated fair value to total plan assets for the qualified plans of the Company at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------------------------------- 2008 2007 --------------------------- --------------------------- (IN MILLIONS) ESTIMATED Estimated FAIR VALUE % Fair Value % ---------------- ---------- ----------------- ---------- Corporate and government debt securities........ $ 406.4 27.9 $ 414.3 17.1 Equity securities............................... 790.6 54.1 1,723.7 71.4 Equity real estate.............................. 244.5 16.7 277.7 11.5 Short-term investments ......................... 18.9 1.3 - - ---------------- ---------- ----------------- ---------- Total Plan Assets............................... $ 1,460.4 100.0 $ 2,415.7 100.0 ================ ========== ================= ==========
F-43 Qualified pension plan assets declined approximately $955.3 million from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008, primarily due to the steep decline and volatility in equity markets, particularly during the latter part of 2008. During fourth quarter 2008, a short term hedge program was executed by the AXA Equitable qualified pension plans to minimize further downside equity risk. The primary investment objective of the plans of the Company is to maximize return on assets, giving consideration to prudent risk. The asset allocation was designed with a long-term investment horizon, based on target investment of 65% equities, 25% fixed income and 10% real estate. Emphasis was given to equity investments, given their higher expected rate of return. Fixed income investments are included to provide less volatile return. Real estate investments offer diversity to the total portfolio and long-term inflation protection. In January 2009, the asset allocation strategy of the qualified defined benefit pension plans was revised to target 30%-40% equities, 50%-60% high quality bonds, and 10%-15% real estate and other investments. In anticipation of continued turbulence in the equity markets, management concluded it would be prudent to continue a hedging program for a period of one year, at which time the need for its continuance would be re-evaluated. The assumed discount rates for measurement of the benefit obligations at December 31, 2008 and 2007 each reflect the rates at which pension benefits then could be effectively settled. Specifically at December 31, 2008, projected nominal cash outflows to fund expected annual benefits payments under the Company's qualified and non-qualified pension and postretirement benefit plans were discounted using a published high-quality bond yield curve. The discount rate of 6.50% disclosed below as having been used to measure the benefits obligation at December 31, 2008 represents the level equivalent discount rate that produces the same present value measure of the benefits obligation as the aforementioned discounted cash flow analysis. The following table discloses the weighted-average assumptions used to measure the Company's pension benefit obligations and net periodic pension cost at and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
2008 2007 ------------- ------------- Discount rate: Benefit obligation............................................... 6.50% 6.25% Periodic cost.................................................... 6.25% (1) 5.75% Rate of compensation increase: Benefit obligation and periodic cost............................. 6.00% 6.00% Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets (periodic cost)... 8.50% 8.50%
(1) For plans remeasured in second quarter 2008, periodic cost was recalculated using a discount rate of 6.75% for the remainder of the year. In developing the expected long-term rate of return assumption on plan assets, management considered the historical returns and future expectations for returns for each asset category of the plan portfolio. As noted above, in January 2009, the target asset allocation of the qualified pension plans was changed from the preceding years. Consequently, the long term rate of return assumption to be used for purpose of computing the expected return on plan assets component of pension expense, will be approximately 6.75% to reflect lower expected returns on the reallocated plan asset portfolio. Prior to 1987, the pension plan funded participants' benefits through the purchase of non-participating annuity contracts from AXA Equitable. Benefit payments under these contracts were approximately $17.3 million, $18.9 million and $20.3 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The following table sets forth an estimate of future benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five years, beginning January 1, 2009, and in the aggregate for the five years thereafter. These estimates are based on the same assumptions used to measure the respective benefit obligations at December 31, 2008 and include benefits attributable to estimated future employee service. F-44 PENSION BENEFITS -------------------- (IN MILLIONS) 2009..................... $ 182.1 2010..................... 192.8 2011..................... 194.2 2012..................... 195.5 2013..................... 194.2 Years 2014-2018.......... 953.3 AllianceBernstein maintains several unfunded deferred compensation plans for the benefit of certain eligible employees and executives. The AllianceBernstein Capital Accumulation Plan was frozen on December 31, 1987 and no additional awards have been made. For the active plans, benefits vest over a period ranging from 3 to 8 years and are amortized as compensation and benefit expense. ACMC, Inc. ("ACMC"), a subsidiary of the Company, is obligated to make capital contributions to AllianceBernstein in amounts equal to benefits paid under the Capital Accumulation Plan and the contractual unfunded deferred compensation arrangements. In connection with the acquisition of Bernstein, AllianceBernstein adopted the SCB Deferred Compensation Award Plan ("SCB Plan") and agreed to invest $96.0 million per annum for three years to fund purchases of AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. ("AllianceBernstein Holding") units or an AllianceBernstein sponsored money market fund in each case for the benefit of certain individuals who were stockholders or principals of Bernstein or hired to replace them. The Company has recorded compensation and benefit expenses in connection with these deferred compensation plans totaling $133.1 million, $289.1 million and $243.8 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 13) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AXA and AXA Financial sponsor various share-based compensation plans for eligible employees and associates of AXA Financial and its subsidiaries, including the Company. AllianceBernstein also sponsors its own unit option plans for certain of its employees. Activity in these share-based plans in the discussions that follow relates to awards granted to eligible employees and associates of AXA Financial and its subsidiaries under each of these plans in the aggregate, except where otherwise noted. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company recognized compensation costs for share-based payment arrangements of $33.8 million, $81.2 million and $64.3 million before income taxes and minority interest. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", that required compensation costs for these programs to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a fair value basis. The Company recognized compensation costs of $27.0 million, $38.8 million and $24.8 million for employee stock options for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. On April 1, 2008, approximately 3.0 million options to purchase AXA ordinary shares were granted under the terms of the Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of 21.51 euros. Approximately 2.2 million of those options have a four-year graded vesting schedule, with one-third vesting on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, and approximately 0.8 million have a four-year cliff vesting term. In addition, approximately 0.5 million of the total options awarded on April 1, 2008 are further subject to conditional vesting terms that require the AXA ordinary share price to outperform the Euro Stoxx Insurance Index measured between April 1, 2008 and April 1, 2012. All of the options granted on April 1, 2008 have a ten-year contractual term. Beginning at the grant date, the total fair value of this award, net of expected forfeitures of approximately $14.8 million, is being charged to expense over the shorter of the vesting term or the period up to the date at which the participant becomes retirement eligible. In 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $3.2 million in respect of the April 1, 2008 grant of options. F-45 The number of AXA ADRs authorized to be issued pursuant to option grants and, as further described below, restricted stock grants under The AXA Financial, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") is approximately 124.5 million less the number of shares issued pursuant to option grants under The AXA Financial, Inc. 1991 Stock Incentive Plan (the predecessor plan to the Stock Incentive Plan). A summary of the activity in the AXA, AXA Financial and AllianceBernstein option plans during 2008 follows:

(1) Intrinsic value, presented in millions, is calculated as the excess of the closing market price on December 31, 2008 of the respective underlying shares over the strike prices of the option awards. (2) AllianceBernstein grants totaled 13,825 units in 2008. Cash proceeds received from employee exercises of options to purchase AXA ADRs in 2008 was $113.4 million. The intrinsic value related to employee exercises of options to purchase AXA ADRs during 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $43.5 million, $141.4 million and $132.1 million, respectively, resulting in amounts currently deductible for tax purposes of $14.6 million, $48.0 million and $44.9 million, respectively, for the periods then ended. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, windfall tax benefits of approximately $10.0 million, $34.3 million and $34.8 million, respectively, resulted from employee exercises of stock option awards. At December 31, 2008, AXA Financial held 2.3 million AXA ADRs in treasury at a weighted average cost of approximately $24.91 per ADR, of which approximately 2.1 million were designated to fund future exercises of outstanding employee stock options and the remainder of approximately 0.2 million units was available for general corporate purposes, including funding other stock-based compensation programs. These AXA ADRs were obtained primarily by exercise of call options that had been purchased by AXA Financial beginning in fourth quarter 2004 to mitigate the U.S. dollar price and foreign exchange risks associated with funding exercises of employee stock options. Remaining outstanding and unexercised at December 31, 2008 are call options to purchase 8.6 million AXA ADRs at strike prices ranging from $31.39 to $32.37, each having a cap equal to approximately 150% of its strike price, at which time the option automatically would be exercised. These call options expire on November 23, 2009. During 2008, AXA Financial utilized approximately 2.5 million AXA ADRs from treasury to fund exercises of employee stock options. Outstanding employee options to purchase AXA ordinary shares began to become exercisable on March 29, F-46 2007, coincident with the second anniversary of the first award made in 2005, and exercises of these awards are funded by newly issued AXA ordinary shares. For the purpose of estimating the fair value of employee stock option awards, the Company applies the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. A Monte-Carlo simulation approach was used to model the fair value of the conditional vesting feature of the April 1, 2008 and May 10, 2007 awards of options to purchase AXA ordinary shares. Shown below are the relevant input assumptions used to derive the fair values of options awarded in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For employee stock options with graded vesting terms and service conditions granted on or after January 1, 2006, the Company elected under SFAS No. 123(R) to retain its practice of valuing these as singular awards and to change to the graded-vesting method of attribution, whereby the cost is recognized separately over the requisite service period for each individual one-third of the options vesting on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.

As of December 31, 2008, approximately $54.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested employee stock option awards, net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, is expected to be recognized by the Company over a weighted average period of 5.57 years. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, AXA Financial grants restricted AXA ADRs to employees of its subsidiaries. Generally, all outstanding restricted AXA ADR awards have a 5-year cliff-vesting term. Under The Equity Plan for Directors (the "Equity Plan"), AXA Financial grants non-officer directors restricted AXA ADRs and unrestricted AXA ADRs annually. Similarly, AllianceBernstein awards restricted AllianceBernstein Holding units to independent directors of its General Partner. In addition, under its Century Club Plan, awards of restricted AllianceBernstein Holding units that vest ratably over three years are made to eligible AllianceBernstein employees whose primary responsibilities are to assist in the distribution of company-sponsored mutual funds. On December 19, 2008, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, AllianceBernstein awarded Mr. Kraus, Chairman and CEO of AllianceBernstein, approximately 2.7 million restricted AllianceBernstein Holding Units with a grant date fair value of $19.20 per Unit. These Units vest ratably over a 5-year period. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company recognized compensation costs of $6.1 million, $8.6 million and $5.6 million for awards outstanding under these plans. The fair values of awards made under these plans are measured at the date of grant by reference to the closing price of the unrestricted shares and the result generally is attributed over the shorter of the requisite service period, the performance period, if any, or to the date at which retirement eligibility is achieved and subsequent service no longer is required for continued vesting of the award. F-47 At December 31, 2008, approximately 3.3 million restricted awards remain unvested, including restricted awards of AllianceBernstein Holding units. At December 31, 2008, approximately $56.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to these unvested awards, net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.4 years. Restricted AXA ADRs vested in 2008, 2007 and 2006 had aggregate vesting date fair values of approximately $3.3 million, $7.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively. In 2007, 100,187 restricted AXA ADRs were granted, having an aggregate grant-date fair value of $4.5 million. The following table summarizes unvested restricted AXA ADR activity for 2008.

In January 2001, certain employees exchanged fully vested in-the-money AXA ADR options for tandem Stock Appreciation Rights/AXA ADR non-statutory options ("tandem SARs/NSOs") of then-equivalent intrinsic value. The Company recorded compensation expense for these fully-vested awards of $(5.5) million, zero and $6.1 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, reflecting the impact in those periods of the change in the market price of the AXA ADR on the cash-settlement value of the SARs component of the outstanding tandem SARs/NSOs. The value of these tandem SARs/NSOs at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1.2 million and $17.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2008, 0.4 million tandem SARs/NSOs were outstanding, having weighted average remaining contractual term of 0.6 years, and for which the SARs component had maximum value of $6.2 million. On February 17, 2009, approximately 0.2 million of these tandem SARs/NSOs expired out-of-the-money. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, approximately 0.7 million, 0.4 million and 2.8 million of these awards were exercised at an aggregate cash-settlement value of $9.2 million, $7.2 million and $41.2 million. On April 1, 2008, 66,372 Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") with a 4-year cliff-vesting schedule were granted to certain associates of AXA Financial subsidiaries. These SARs entitle the holder to a cash payment equal to any appreciation in the value of the AXA ordinary share over 21.51 Euros as of the date of exercise. At December 31, 2008, 0.3 million SARs were outstanding, having weighted average remaining contractual term of 7.56 years. The accrued value of SARs at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded compensation expense for SARs of $(2.3) million, $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, reflecting the impact in those periods of the changes in their fair values as determined by applying the Black Scholes-Merton formula and assumptions used to price employee stock option awards. On March 31, 2008, approximately 702,404 performance units earned under the AXA Performance Unit Plan 2006 were fully vested for total value of approximately $24.2 million, including incremental units earned from having exceeded targeted 2007 performance criteria by 0.68%. Distributions to participants were made on April 10, 2008, resulting in cash settlements of approximately 78% of these performance units for aggregate value of approximately $18.6 million and equity settlements of the remainder with approximately 153,494 restricted AXA ADRs for aggregate value of approximately $5.6 million. In 2008, the AXA Management Board awarded 995,031 unearned performance units to employees of AXA Financial subsidiaries. During each year that the performance unit awards are outstanding, a pro-rata portion of the units may be earned based on criteria measuring the performance of AXA and AXA Financial Group. The extent to which performance targets are met determines the number of performance units earned, which may vary between 0% and 130% of the number of performance units at stake. Performance units earned under the 2008 plan cliff-vest on the second anniversary of their date of award. When fully vested, the performance units earned will be settled in cash or, in some cases, a combination of cash (70%) and stock (30%), the latter equity portion having transfer restrictions for a two-year period. The price used to value the 2008 performance units at settlement will be the average opening price of the AXA ordinary share for the last F-48 20 trading days of the vesting period converted to U.S. dollars using the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate on March 31, 2010. For 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $3.5 million in respect of the 2008 grants of performance units. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized compensation costs of $5.5 million, $11.6 million and $25.9 million, respectively, for performance units earned to date. The change in fair value of these awards is measured by the closing price of the underlying AXA ordinary shares or AXA ADRs with adjustment to reflect the impact of expected and actual pre-vesting forfeitures. The cost of performance unit awards are attributed over the shorter of the cliff-vesting period or to the date at which retirement eligibility is achieved. The value of performance units earned and reported in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $17.3 million and $31.1 million, respectively. Approximately 720,872 outstanding performance units are at risk to achievement of 2008 performance criteria, including approximately 50% of the award granted on May 10, 2007. In 2008, eligible employees of AXA Financial's subsidiaries participated in AXA's global offering to purchase newly issued AXA stock, subject to plan limits, under the terms of AXA Shareplan 2008. Similar to the AXA Shareplan programs previously offered in 2001 through 2007, the plan offered two investment alternatives that, with limited exceptions, restrict the sale or transfer of the purchased shares for a period of five years. "Investment Option A" permitted participants to purchase AXA ADRs at a 20% formula discounted price. "Investment Option B" permitted participants to purchase AXA ordinary shares at a 14.25% formula discounted price on a leveraged basis with a guaranteed return of initial investment plus 75% of any appreciation in the value of the total shares purchased. The Company recognized compensation expense of $1.1 million in 2008, $27.7 million in 2007 and $22.1 million in 2006 in connection with each respective year's offering of AXA Shareplan, representing the aggregate discount provided to participants for their purchase of AXA stock under each of those plans, as adjusted for the post-vesting, five-year holding period. Participants in AXA Shareplans 2008, 2007 and 2006 primarily invested under Investment Option B for the purchase of approximately 6.5 million, 5.3 million and 5.0 million AXA ordinary shares, respectively. On July 1, 2007, under the terms of the AXA Miles Program 2007, the AXA Management Board granted 50 AXA Miles to every employee of AXA for purpose of enhancing long-term employee-shareholder engagement. Each AXA Mile represents the right to receive one unrestricted AXA ordinary share on July 1, 2011, conditional only upon continued employment with AXA at the close of the four-year cliff vesting period with exceptions for retirement, death, and disability. For AXA Financial participants, settlement of the right to receive each unrestricted AXA ordinary share will be made in the form of an AXA ADR. The grant date fair value of approximately 449,400 AXA Miles awarded to employees of AXA Financial's subsidiaries was approximately $19.4 million, measured as the market equivalent of a vested AXA ordinary share. Beginning on July 1, 2007, the total fair value of this award, net of expected forfeitures, is expensed over the shorter of the vesting term or to the date at which the participant becomes retirement eligible. For 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $1.9 million and $2.7 million in respect of this grant of AXA Miles. Provided certain performance targets are achieved, an additional allocation of 50 AXA Miles per employee will be considered for award in 2010 and 2011 under terms then-to-be-determined and approved by the AXA Management Board. In 1997, AllianceBernstein Holding established a long-term incentive compensation plan under which unit-based awards are made to key employees for terms established by AllianceBernstein Holding at the time of grant. These awards include options, restricted AllianceBernstein Holding units and phantom restricted AllianceBernstein Holding units, performance awards, and other AllianceBernstein Holding unit based awards. The aggregate number of AllianceBernstein Holding units subject to options granted or otherwise awarded under this plan, as amended in December 2006 to include awards made to select participants under the Special Option Program, may not exceed 41.0 million. At December 31, 2008, approximately 14.2 million options to purchase AllianceBernstein Holding units and 4.1 million other unit awards, net of forfeitures, were subject to the aggregate allowable maximum under this plan.

(1) In 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, AllianceBernstein issued units to its employees under long-term incentive plans. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded non-cash realized gains of $9.9 million, $15.5 million and $28.0 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Writedowns of fixed maturities amounted to $285.9 million, $79.0 million and $27.4 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were no writedowns of mortgage loans on real estate for 2008, 2007 and 2006. There were no writedowns of equity real estate for 2008, 2007 and 2006. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, proceeds received on sales of fixed maturities classified as available for sale amounted to $324.4 million, $1,554.6 million and $1,281.9 million. Gross gains of $3.3 million, $12.6 million and $33.9 million and gross losses of $94.5 million, $20.3 million and $24.5 million, respectively, were realized on these sales. The change in unrealized investment losses related to fixed maturities classified as available for sale for 2008, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $2,525.8 million, $376.4 million and $416.7 million, respectively. F-50 For 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, investment results passed through to certain participating group annuity contracts as interest credited to policyholders' account balances amounted to $47.7 million, $52.7 million and $57.8 million. Changes in unrealized gains (losses) reflect changes in fair value of only those fixed maturities and equity securities classified as available for sale and do not reflect any changes in fair value of policyholders' account balances and future policy benefits. The net unrealized investment gains (losses) included in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the changes for the corresponding years, including Wind-up Annuities on a line-by-line basis, follow:

The Company recognized a net tax benefit in 2006 of $117.7 million related to the settlement of an Internal Revenue Service's ("IRS") audit of the 1997-2001 tax years, partially offset by additional tax reserves established for subsequent tax periods. Of the net tax benefit of $117.7 million, $111.9 million related to the continuing operations and $5.8 million to the discontinued Wind-up Annuities. On August 16, 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-54 that purported to change accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing the computation of the Separate Account dividends received deduction ("DRD"). This ruling was suspended on September 25, 2007 in Revenue Ruling 2007-61 and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") indicated that it would address the computational issues in a regulation project. Any regulations that the Treasury ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other members of the public will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. The ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations are unknown, but they could result in the elimination of some or all of the Separate Account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives. The components of the net deferred income taxes are as follows:

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, the Company recognized a $44.8 million decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 was $371.3 million. Of that total, $276.9 million would affect the effective tax rate and $94.4 million are tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the change in timing of the deduction would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority. At December 31, 2008, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $506.6 million of which $372.6 million would affect the effective rate and $134.0 million was temporary in nature. At December 31, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $412.2 million of which $301.9 million would affect the effective rate and $110.3 million was temporary in nature. F-52 The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. Interest and penalties included in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $77.3 million and $68.6 million, respectively. Tax expense for 2008 and 2007, respectively, reflected $8.7 million and $22.5 million in interest related to unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) follows:

The IRS completed its examination of the Company's 2002 and 2003 Federal corporate income tax returns and issued its Revenue Agent's Report in second quarter 2008. The Company has appealed an issue to the Appeals Office of the IRS. In addition, AllianceBernstein settled various examinations by the state and local tax authorities. The impact of these completed audits on the Company's financial statements was a net benefit of $14.6 million. IRS examinations for years subsequent to 2003 are expected to commence in 2009. It is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months due to the conclusion of the current IRS proceedings and the additions of new issues for open tax years. The possible change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits cannot be estimated at this time. 16) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company's discontinued operations include Wind-up Annuities, equity real estate held-for-sale and disposal of businesses. The following tables reconcile the (Losses) earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes and Gains (losses) on disposal of discontinued operations, net of income taxes to the amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three years ended December 31, 2008:

Disposal of Businesses ---------------------- In accordance with their October 2006 agreement, during 2007, AXA Financial and its subsidiaries, AXA Equitable, Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. ("Enterprise") and Enterprise Fund Distributors, Inc., ("EFD") transferred to Goldman Sachs Asset Management L.P. ("GSAM") assets of the business of serving F-53 as sponsor of and investment manager to 27 of the 31 funds of AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust, AXA Enterprise Funds Trust and The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (collectively, the "AXA Enterprise Funds") and completed the reorganization of such funds to corresponding mutual funds managed by GSAM. In 2008, AXA Financial completed the reorganization and/or liquidation of the remaining four mutual funds in AXA Enterprise Funds of the remaining funds which together had approximately $661.9 million in assets under management as of December 31, 2007. AXA Financial has since entered into agreements to transfer the remaining funds. As a result of management's disposition plan, AXA Enterprise Funds advisory contracts were reported as Discontinued Operations. In 2007 and 2006, respectively, $0.7 million pre-tax ($0.4 million post-tax) and $3.0 million pre-tax ($1.9 million post-tax) of transaction costs were recorded as a result of the disposition of the funds; no additional costs were reported for 2008. Proceeds received in 2007 on the disposition of the AXA Enterprise Funds totaled $26.3 million. In 2008 and 2007, respectively, impairments of zero and $0.7 million pre-tax ($0.4 million post-tax) were recorded on intangible assets associated with AXA Enterprise Funds investment management contracts based upon estimated fair value. At December 31, 2008 and 2007 there were no assets or liabilities related to these operations. Wind-up Annuities In 1991, management discontinued the business of Wind-up Annuities, the terms of which were fixed at issue, which were sold to corporate sponsors of terminated qualified defined benefit plans, and for which a premium deficiency reserve and an allowance for future losses based upon projected future cash flows had been established. The Company's quarterly process for evaluating the need for an allowance for future losses involves comparison of the current period's results of Wind-up Annuities to previous projections and re-estimation of future expected losses, if appropriate, to determine whether an adjustment is required. Investment and benefit cash flow projections are updated annually as part of the Company's annual planning process. The assumptions and estimates for 2006 resulted in a release of the allowance. If the Company's analysis in any given period indicates that an allowance for future losses is not necessary, any current period Wind-up Annuities' operating losses or earnings are recognized as (Losses) earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the consolidated statements of earnings. At December 31, 2008, no allowance for future losses was necessary based upon projections of reasonably assured future net investing and operating cash flows. The determination of projected future cash flows involves numerous estimates and subjective judgments regarding the expected performance of invested assets held by Wind-up Annuities and the expected run-off of Wind-up Annuities liabilities. There can be no assurance the projected future cash flows will not differ from the cash flows ultimately realized. To the extent actual results or future projections of Wind-up Annuities are lower than management's current estimates and assumptions and result in operating losses not being offset by reasonably assured future net investing and operating cash flows, an allowance for future losses may be necessary. In particular, to the extent income, sales proceeds and holding periods for equity real estate differ from management's previous assumptions, establishment of a loss allowance liability may result. F-54 Summarized financial information for Wind-up Annuities follows:

Income tax expense for Wind-up Annuities in 2006 included a $5.8 million tax benefit in connection with the settlement of an IRS audit of the 1997-2001 tax years. Real Estate Held-For-Sale ------------------------- In 2007, two real estate properties with a total book value of $172.7 million that had been previously reported in equity real estate were reclassified as real estate held-for-sale. Prior periods were restated to reflect these properties as discontinued operations. In third quarter 2007, one of the held-for-sale properties was sold resulting in a gain of $4.9 million ($3.2 million post-tax). At December 31, 2008 and 2007, equity real estate held-for-sale was zero and $121.7 million, respectively, and was included in Other assets. F-55 17) ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income represents cumulative gains and losses on items that are not reflected in earnings.

18) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Debt Maturities --------------- At December 31, 2008, aggregate maturities of the long-term debt, including any current portion of long-term debt, based on required principal payments at maturity were none for 2009-2013 and $200.0 million thereafter. Leases ------ The Company has entered into operating leases for office space and certain other assets, principally information technology equipment and office furniture and equipment. Future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases for 2009 and the four successive years are $203.7 million, $199.3 million, $194.7 million, $197.9 million, $205.2 million and $2,356.1 million thereafter. Minimum future sublease rental income on these non-cancelable operating leases for 2009 and the four successive years is $5.3 million, $5.4 million, $4.7 million, $3.3 million, $3.2 million and $10.6 million thereafter. At December 31, 2008, the minimum future rental income on non-cancelable operating leases for wholly owned investments in real estate for 2009 and the four successive years is $102.5 million, $102.7 million, $103.2 million, $105.4 million, $106.6 million and $631.9 million thereafter. The Company has entered into capital leases for certain information technology equipment. Future minimum payments under non-cancelable capital leases for 2009 and the four successive years is $0.9 million, $0.9 million, $0.5 million, $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million thereafter. F-56 Guarantees and Other Commitments -------------------------------- The Company provides certain guarantees or commitments to affiliates, investors and others. At December 31, 2008, these arrangements include commitments by the Company to provide equity financing of $711.3 million to certain limited partnerships under certain conditions. Management believes the Company will not incur material losses as a result of these commitments. AXA Equitable is the obligor under certain structured settlement agreements it had entered into with unaffiliated insurance companies and beneficiaries. To satisfy its obligations under these agreements, AXA Equitable owns single premium annuities issued by previously wholly owned life insurance subsidiaries. AXA Equitable has directed payment under these annuities to be made directly to the beneficiaries under the structured settlement agreements. A contingent liability exists with respect to these agreements should the previously wholly owned subsidiaries be unable to meet their obligations. Management believes the need for AXA Equitable to satisfy those obligations is remote. The Company had $59.8 million of undrawn letters of credit related to reinsurance at December 31, 2008. AXA Equitable had $15.0 million in commitments under existing mortgage loan agreements at December 31, 2008. In February 2002, AllianceBernstein signed a $125.0 million agreement with a commercial bank under which it guaranteed certain obligations of SCBL incurred in the ordinary course of its business in the event SCBL is unable to meet these obligations. During 2008, AllianceBerstein was not required to perform under the agreement and at December 31, 2008 had no liability outstanding in connection with the agreement. 19) LITIGATION A putative class action entitled Stefanie Hirt, et al. v. The Equitable Retirement Plan for Employees, Managers and Agents, et al. was filed in the District Court for the Southern District of New York in August 2001 against The Equitable Retirement Plan for Employees, Managers and Agents (the "Retirement Plan") and The Officers Committee on Benefit Plans of Equitable Life, as Plan Administrator. The action was brought by five participants in the Retirement Plan and purports to be on behalf of "all Plan participants, whether active or retired, their beneficiaries and Estates, whose accrued benefits or pension benefits are based on the Plan's Cash Balance Formula". The complaint challenged the change, effective January 1, 1989, in the pension benefit formula from a final average pay formula to a cash balance formula. Plaintiffs alleged that the change to the cash balance formula violated ERISA by reducing the rate of accruals based on age, failed to comply with ERISA's notice requirements and improperly applied the formula to retroactively reduce accrued benefits. The relief sought includes a declaration that the cash balance plan violated ERISA, an order enjoining the enforcement of the cash balance formula, reformation and damages. In April 2002, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to certify a class of "all Plan participants, whether active or retired, their beneficiaries and Estates, whose accrued benefits or pension benefits are based on the Plan's Cash Balance Formula". Also in April 2002, plaintiffs agreed to dismiss with prejudice their claim that the change to the cash balance formula violated ERISA by improperly applying the formula to retroactively reduce accrued benefits. That claim was dismissed. In March 2003, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint elaborating on the remaining claims in the original complaint and adding additional class and individual claims alleging that the adoption and announcement of the cash balance formula and the subsequent announcement of changes in the application of the cash balance formula failed to comply with ERISA. By order dated May 2003, the District Court, as requested by the parties, certified the case as a class action, including a sub-class of all current and former Plan participants, whether active, inactive or retired, their beneficiaries or estates, who were subject to a 1991 change in application of the cash balance formula. In September 2006, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants. The court ruled that (a) the cash balance provisions of the Equitable Plan do not violate the age discrimination provisions of ERISA, (b) while the notice of plan changes provided to participants in 1990 was not adequate, the notice of plan changes provided to participants in 1992 satisfied the ERISA notice requirements regarding delivery and content, and (c) the claims of the named plaintiffs are barred by statute of limitations. The Court found that other individual class members were not precluded from asserting claims for additional benefit accruals from January 1991 through January 1993 to the extent that such individuals could show that the statute of limitations did not bar their claims. In October 2006, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal and defendants filed a cross appeal. In July 2008, the Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's decision that the cash balance plan does not violate the age discrimination provisions of ERISA and that plaintiffs' claims also were barred by the statute of limitations. F-57 In September 2008, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiffs motion for rehearing. The time for plaintiffs to make an appeal to the United States Supreme Court has expired. In April 2004, a purported nationwide class action lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court for Madison County, Illinois entitled Matthew Wiggenhorn v. Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. The lawsuit alleges that AXA Equitable uses stale prices for the foreign securities within the investment divisions of its variable insurance products. The complaint further alleges that AXA Equitable's use of stale pricing diluted the returns of the purported class. The complaint also alleges that AXA Equitable breached its fiduciary duty to the class by allowing market timing in general within AXA Equitable's variable insurance products, thereby diluting the returns of the class. In June 2005, this case was transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the U.S. District Court in Maryland, where other market-timing related litigation is pending. In June 2005, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. In July 2005, AXA Equitable filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. In June 2006, AXA Equitable's motion to dismiss the amended complaint was granted and, in June 2006, plaintiff appealed. As of April 2007, the appeal was fully briefed. In October 2008, oral arguments on the appeal were held. In January 2009, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's decision to dismiss the amended complaint. A putative class action entitled Eagan et al. v. AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company was filed in the District Court for the Central District of California in December 2006 against AXA Equitable as plan sponsor and fiduciary for an ERISA retiree health plan. The action was brought by two plan participants on behalf of all past and present employees and agents who received retiree medical benefits from AXA Equitable at any time after January 1, 2004, or who will receive such benefits in 2006 or later, excluding certain retired agents. Plaintiffs allege that AXA Equitable's adoption of a revised version of its retiree health plan in 1993 (the "1993 Plan") was not authorized or effective. Plaintiffs contend that AXA Equitable has therefore breached the retiree health plan by imposing the terms of the 1993 Plan on plaintiffs and other retirees. Plaintiffs allege that, even if the 1993 Plan is controlling, AXA Equitable has violated the terms of the retiree health plan by imposing health care costs and coverages on plaintiffs and other retirees that are not authorized under the 1993 Plan. Plaintiffs also allege that AXA Equitable breached fiduciary duties owed to plaintiffs and retirees by allegedly misrepresenting and failing to disclose information to them. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, restitution and injunctive relief prohibiting AXA Equitable from violating the terms of the applicable plan, together with interest and attorneys' fees. In March 2007, AXA Equitable filed a motion to dismiss. In July 2007, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that (i) redefined the scope of the class to now include all retired employee and independent contractor agents formerly employed by AXA Equitable who received medical benefits after December 1, 2000 or who will receive such benefits in the future, excluding certain retired agents, and (ii) eliminated the claim based on a breach of fiduciary duty and certain claims related to health care costs. In September 2007, AXA Equitable filed its answer to the amended complaint. The original trial date of May 2009 has been stayed, and the Court has not set a new trial date. In January 2009, AXA Equitable filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In February 2009, the Court denied AXA Equitable's motion to dismiss the complaint. AXA Equitable and/or AXA Advisors LLC is currently the subject of four putative class actions pending in Federal court alleging certain wage and hour violations with regard to certain sales personnel. The cases were filed between July 2006 and September 2007. Each of the cases seek substantially the same relief under essentially the same theories of recovery: violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act for failure to pay minimum wage and overtime and violation of similar provisions under state labor laws in the respective states. In September 2007, the parties agreed to consolidate all four pending cases in the Northern District of California. The cases include the following: Meola v. AXA Advisors and AXA Equitable; Lennon v. AXA Advisors, et al.; Bolea v. AXA Advisors, LLC and AXA Equitable, et. al.; and Dhruv v. AXA Advisors, LLC, et al. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, restitution of all wages improperly withheld or deducted, punitive damages, penalties, and attorneys' fees. In February 2009, the parties filed a proposed settlement agreement with the Court. In March 2009, the Court preliminarily denied without prejudice the parties' motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. The Court requested that the parties refile the motion revising certain portions of the proposed notices by the end of March 2009. F-58 ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN LITIGATION Market Timing-Related Matters In October 2003, a purported class action complaint entitled Hindo, et al. v. AllianceBernstein Growth & Income Fund, et al. ("Hindo Complaint") was filed against AllianceBernstein, AllianceBernstein Holding, AllianceBernstein Corporation, AXA Financial, certain investment company funds (the "U.S. Funds") distributed by AllianceBernstein Investments, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AllianceBernstein, the registrants and issuers of those funds, certain officers of AllianceBernstein (the "AllianceBernstein defendants"), and certain other unaffiliated defendants, as well as unnamed Doe defendants. The Hindo Complaint alleges that certain defendants failed to disclose that they improperly allowed certain hedge funds and other unidentified parties to engage in "late trading" and "market timing" of U.S. Fund securities, violating various securities laws. Following October 2003, additional lawsuits making factual allegations generally similar to those in the Hindo Complaint were filed in various Federal and state courts against AllianceBernstein and certain other defendants. In September 2004, plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints with respect to four claim types: mutual fund shareholder claims; mutual fund derivative claims; derivative claims brought on behalf of AllianceBernstein Holding; and claims brought under ERISA by participants in the Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of AllianceBernstein. In April 2006, AllianceBernstein and attorneys for the plaintiffs in the mutual fund shareholder claims, mutual fund derivative claims, and ERISA claims entered into a confidential memorandum of understanding containing their agreement to settle these claims. The agreement will be documented by a stipulation of settlement and will be submitted for court approval at a later date. The settlement amount ($30 million), which AllianceBernstein previously accrued and disclosed, has been disbursed. The derivative claims brought on behalf of AllianceBernstein Holding, in which plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages, remain pending. ----------------------------------- Although the outcome of litigation generally cannot be predicted with certainty, management intends to vigorously defend against the allegations made by the plaintiffs in the actions described above and believes that the ultimate resolution of the litigations described above involving AXA Equitable and/or its subsidiaries should not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. Management cannot make an estimate of loss, if any, or predict whether or not any of the litigations described above will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations in any particular period. In addition to the type of matters described above, a number of lawsuits have been filed against life and health insurers in the jurisdictions in which AXA Equitable and its respective insurance subsidiaries do business involving insurers' sales practices, alleged agent misconduct, alleged failure to properly supervise agents, contract administration and other matters. Some of the lawsuits have resulted in the award of substantial judgments against other insurers, including material amounts of punitive damages, or in substantial settlements. In some states, juries have substantial discretion in awarding punitive damages. AXA Equitable and AXA Life, like other life and health insurers, from time to time are involved in such litigations. Some of these actions and proceedings filed against AXA Equitable and its subsidiaries have been brought on behalf of various alleged classes of claimants and certain of these claimants seek damages of unspecified amounts. While the ultimate outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management no such matter is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, it should be noted that the frequency of large damage awards, including large punitive damage awards that bear little or no relation to actual economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given matter. F-59 20) INSURANCE GROUP STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION AXA Equitable is restricted as to the amounts it may pay as dividends to AXA Financial. Under the New York Insurance Law, a domestic life insurer may, without prior approval of the Superintendent, pay a dividend to its shareholders not exceeding an amount calculated based on a statutory formula. Payment of dividends in 2009 would require the insurer to file notice of its intent to declare such dividends with the Superintendent who then has 30 days to disapprove the distribution. This formula would not permit AXA Equitable to pay shareholder dividends during 2009. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Insurance Group statutory net (loss) income totaled $(1,074.8) million, $605.8 million and $532.3 million, respectively. Statutory surplus, capital stock and Asset Valuation Reserve ("AVR") totaled $3,588.1 million and $7,812.0 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In both 2007 and 2006, AXA Equitable paid shareholder dividends of $600.0 million; no dividends were paid in 2008. At December 31, 2008, AXA Equitable, in accordance with various government and state regulations, had $59.5 million of securities on deposit with such government or state agencies. In fourth quarter 2008, AXA Equitable issued two $500.0 million surplus notes to AXA Financial. The notes, both of which mature on December 1, 2018, have a fixed interest rate of 7.1%. The accrual and payment of interest expense and principal related to surplus notes require approval from the State of New York Insurance Department (the "NYID"). Interest expense in 2009 will approximate $71.0 million. At December 31, 2008 and for the year then ended, there were no differences in net income and capital and surplus resulting from practices prescribed and permitted by the NYID and those prescribed by NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures effective at December 31, 2008. Accounting practices used to prepare statutory financial statements for regulatory filings of stock life insurance companies differ in certain instances from U.S. GAAP. The differences between statutory surplus and capital stock determined in accordance with Statutory Accounting Principles ("SAP") and total shareholder's equity under U.S. GAAP are primarily: (a) the inclusion in SAP of an AVR intended to stabilize surplus from fluctuations in the value of the investment portfolio; (b) future policy benefits and policyholders' account balances under SAP differ from U.S. GAAP due to differences between actuarial assumptions and reserving methodologies; (c) certain policy acquisition costs are expensed under SAP but deferred under U.S. GAAP and amortized over future periods to achieve a matching of revenues and expenses; (d) under SAP, income taxes are provided on the basis of amounts currently payable with limited recognition of deferred tax assets while under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxes are recorded for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities where the probability of realization is reasonably assured; (e) the valuation of assets under SAP and U.S. GAAP differ due to different investment valuation and depreciation methodologies, as well as the deferral of interest-related realized capital gains and losses on fixed income investments; (f) the valuation of the investment in AllianceBernstein and AllianceBernstein Holding under SAP reflects a portion of the market value appreciation rather than the equity in the underlying net assets as required under U.S. GAAP; (g) the provision for future losses of the discontinued Wind-Up Annuities business as only required under U.S. GAAP; (h) reporting the surplus notes as a component of surplus in SAP but as a liability in U.S. GAAP; (i) computer software development costs are capitalized under U.S. GAAP but expensed under SAP; and (j) certain assets, primarily pre-paid assets, are not admissible under SAP but are admissible under U.S. GAAP. The following reconciles the Insurance Group's statutory change in surplus and capital stock and statutory surplus and capital stock determined in accordance with accounting practices prescribed by the NYID with net earnings and shareholder's equity on a U.S. GAAP basis.

Before purchasing one of these contracts, you should consider whether its features and benefits beyond tax deferral meet your needs and goals. You may also want to consider the relative features, benefits and costs of these contracts with any other investment that you may use in connection with your retirement plan or arrangement. (For more information, see "Tax information" later in this prospectus.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contribution amounts o NQ, traditional IRA and Roth IRA: Minimum: $50 initial and additional ($20 under our automatic investment program) o Inherited IRA $5,000 (initial) (minimum) $1,000 (additional) (minimum) o Maximum contribution limitations apply to all contracts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In general, contributions are limited to $1.5 million ($500,000 for owners or annuitants who are age 81 and older at contract issue) under all EQUI-VEST(R) series and EQUI-VEST(R) At Retirement(SM) contracts with the same owner or annuitant. Upon advance notice to you, we may exercise certain rights we have under the contract regarding contributions, including our rights to (i) change minimum and maximum contribution requirements and limitations, and (ii) discontinue acceptance of contributions.

EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) at a glance -- key features 9 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fees and charges o Daily charges for mortality and expense risks and other expenses at an annual rate of 1.10%. o Annual administrative charge of $50. If your account value is $100,000 or more, we will not deduct the charge. For individuals who own multiple contracts with combined account values of over $100,000, this charge may be waived. See "Annual administrative charge" in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus. o Charge for third-party transfer (such as in the case of a trustee-to-trustee transfer for an IRA contract) or exchange (if your contract is exchanged for a contract issued by another insurance company): $25 currently ($65 maximum) per occurrence. o No sales charge deducted at the time you make contributions. o During the first seven contract years following each contribution, a charge will be deducted from amounts that you withdraw that exceed 10% of your account value as of the date of the withdrawal, less prior withdrawals in that contract year. The charge begins at 7% in the first contract year following each contribution. It declines each year to 1% in the seventh contract year. There is no withdrawal charge in the eighth and later contract years following a contribution. Under certain circumstances, the withdrawal charge will not apply. They are discussed in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "contract date" is the effective date of a contract. This usually is the business day we receive the properly completed and signed application, along with any other required documents, and your initial contribution. Your contract date will be shown in your contract. The 12-month period beginning on your contract date and each 12-month period after that date is a "contract year." The end of each 12-month period is your "contract date anniversary." For example, if your contract date is May 1, your contract date anniversary is April 30. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o We deduct a charge designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state. The charge is generally deducted from the amount applied to an annuity payout option. o We deduct a $350 annuity administrative fee from amounts applied to purchase a Variable Immediate Annuity payout option. This option is described in a separate prospectus that is available from your financial professional. o Annual expenses of the Trusts' portfolios are calculated as a percentage of the average daily net assets invested in each portfolio. Please see "Fee table" later in this prospectus for details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Annuitant issue ages 0-85 (0-70 for Inherited IRA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE TABLE ABOVE SUMMARIZES ONLY CERTAIN CURRENT KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE CONTRACT. THE TABLE ALSO SUMMARIZES CERTAIN CURRENT LIMITATIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPTIONS TO THOSE FEATURES AND BENEFITS THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE UNDER THE CONTRACT AND THAT ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. IN SOME CASES, OTHER LIMITATIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPTIONS MAY APPLY. THE CONTRACT MAY NOT CURRENTLY BE AVAILABLE IN ALL STATES. CERTAIN FEATURES AND BENEFITS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS MAY VARY IN YOUR STATE; ALL FEATURES AND BENEFITS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ALL CONTRACTS, IN ALL STATES OR FROM ALL SELLING BROKER-DEALERS. PLEASE SEE APPENDIX II LATER IN THIS PROSPECTUS FOR MORE INFORMATION ON STATE AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIATIONS OF CERTAIN FEATURES AND BENEFITS. For more detailed information, we urge you to read the contents of this prospectus, as well as your contract. This prospectus is not your contract. Your contract and any endorsements, riders and data pages are the entire contract between you and AXA Equitable and governs with respect to all features, benefits, rights and obligations. The contract should be read carefully before investing. Please feel free to speak with your financial professional or call us, if you have any questions. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your contract, you may return it to us for a refund within a certain number of days.

OTHER CONTRACTS We offer a variety of fixed and variable annuity contracts. They may offer features, including investment options, credits, fees and/or charges that are different from those in the contracts offered by this prospectus. Not every contract is offered through the same Selling broker-dealer. Some Selling broker-dealers may not offer and/or limit the offering of certain features or options, as well as limit the availability of the contracts, based on issue age or other criteria established by the Selling broker-dealer. Upon request, your financial professional can show you information regarding other AXA Equitable annuity contracts that he or she distributes. You can also contact us to find out more about the availability of any of the AXA Equitable annuity contracts. You should work with your financial professional to decide whether an optional benefit is appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance. Some Selling broker-dealers may limit their clients from purchasing some optional benefits based upon the client's age. 10 EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) at a glance -- key features To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Fee table -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the contract. Each of the charges and expenses is more fully described in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus. The first table describes fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you surrender the contract, make certain withdrawals, purchase a Variable Immediate Annuity payout option or make certain transfers and exchanges. Charges designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state, may also apply. Charges for certain features shown in the fee table are mutually exclusive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charges we deduct from your account value at the time you request certain transactions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maximum withdrawal charge as a percentage of contributions withdrawn (deducted if you surrender your contract or make certain withdrawals).(1) 7.00% Charge if you elect a Variable Immediate Annuity payout option (which is described in a separate prospectus for that option) $350 Charge for third-party transfer or exchange $65 maximum for each occurrence; currently $25 for each occurrence.
The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the contract, not including underlying Trust portfolio fees and expenses.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charges we deduct from your account value on each contract date anniversary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maximum annual administrative charge: If your account value on the last day of your contract year is less than $100,000 $ 50 If your account value on the last day of your contract year is $100,000 or more $ 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charges we deduct from your variable investment options expressed as an annual percentage of daily net assets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Separate account annual expenses: Mortality and expense risks(2) 0.85% Other expenses 0.25% ---- Total separate account annual expenses 1.10% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You also bear your proportionate share of all fees and expenses paid by a "portfolio" that corresponds to any variable investment option you are using. This table shows the lowest and highest total operating expenses charged by any of the portfolios that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. These fees and expenses are reflected in the portfolio's net asset value each day. Therefore, they reduce the invest- ment return of the portfolio and the related variable investment option. Actual fees and expenses are likely to fluctuate from year to year. More detail concerning each portfolio's fees and expenses is contained in the Trust prospectus for the portfolio. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Portfolio operating expenses expressed as an annual percentage of daily net assets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses for 2008 (expenses that are deducted Lowest Highest from portfolio assets including management fees, 12b-1 fees, service fees, and/or ----- ------ other expenses)(3) 0.64% 3.65%

Notes: (1) Deducted upon a withdrawal of amounts in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount. Important exceptions and limitations may eliminate or reduce this charge. The withdrawal charge percentage we use is determined Contract by the contract year in which you make the withdrawal Year or surrender your contract. For each contribution, we consider the contract year in which we receive that 1.........7.00% contribution to be "contract year 1". 2.........6.00% 3.........5.00% 4.........4.00% 5.........3.00% 6.........2.00% 7.........1.00% 8+........0.00% (2) A portion of this charge is for providing the death benefit. (3) "Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses" are based, in part, on estimated amounts for options added during the fiscal year 2008 and for the underlying portfolios. (4) The management fees for each portfolio cannot be increased without a vote of that portfolio's shareholders. See footnote (8) for any expense limitation agreement information. (5) Portfolio shares are subject to fees imposed under the distribution plans (the "Rule 12b-1 Plan") adopted by the Trusts pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The maximum annual distribution and/or service (12b-1) fee for Class B and IB shares is 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to those shares. Under arrangements approved by each Trust's Board of Trustees, the distribution and/or service (12b-1) fee currently is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class IB shares of the portfolios. These arrangements will be in effect at least until April 30, 2010. (6) The amounts shown as "Other Expenses" will fluctuate from year to year depending on actual expenses. See footnote (8) for any expense limitation agreement information. (7) Each of these variable investment options invests in a corresponding portfolio of one of the Trusts or other unaffiliated investment companies. Each portfolio, in turn, invests in shares of other portfolios of the Trusts and/or shares of unaffiliated portfolios ("underlying portfolios"). Amounts shown reflect each portfolio's pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolio(s) in which it invests. The fees and expenses are based on the respective weighted investment allocation as of 12/31/08. A "--" indicates that the listed portfolio either does not invest in underlying portfolios or expenses attributable to underlying portfolios are less than 0.01%. (8) The amounts shown reflect any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that apply to each portfolio. A "--" indicates that there is no expense limitation in effect, and "0.00%" indicates that the expense limitation arrangement did not result in a fee waiver or reimbursement. AXA Equitable, the investment manager of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust, has entered into expense limitation agreements with respect to certain portfolios, which are effective through April 30, 2010 (unless the Board of Trustees of AXA Premier VIP Trust or EQ Advisors Trust, as applicable, consents to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement). Under these agreements, AXA Equitable has agreed to waive or limit its fees and assume other expenses of certain portfolios, if necessary, in an amount that limits such portfolio's Total Annual Expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenditures, expenses of the underlying portfolios in which the portfolio invests and extraordinary expenses) to not more than the amounts specified in the agreements. Therefore, each portfolio may at a later date make a reimbursement to AXA Equitable for any of the management fees waived or limited and other expenses assumed and paid by AXA Equitable pursuant to the expense limitation agreements provided that the portfolio's current annual operating expenses do not exceed the operating expense limit determined for such portfolio. See the prospectuses for each applicable underlying Trust for more information about the arrangements. In addition, a portion of the brokerage commissions of certain portfolios of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust is used to reduce the applicable portfolio's expenses. If the above table reflected both the expense limitation arrangements plus the portion of the brokerage commissions used to reduce portfolio expenses, the net expenses would be as shown in the table below: Fee table 13 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green --------------------------------------------- Portfolio Name: --------------------------------------------- Multimanager Agressive Equity 0.98% --------------------------------------------- Multimanager Health Care 1.40% --------------------------------------------- Multimanager Large Cap Core Equity 1.14% --------------------------------------------- Multimanager Large Cap Growth 1.15% --------------------------------------------- Multimanager Large Cap Value 1.15% --------------------------------------------- Multimanager Mid Cap Growth 1.15% --------------------------------------------- Multimanager Small Cap Growth 1.29% --------------------------------------------- Multimanager Small Cap Value 1.23% --------------------------------------------- Multimanager Technology 1.42% --------------------------------------------- EQ/AllianceBernstein Small Cap Growth 1.12% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Ariel Appreciation II 1.11% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Capital Guardian Growth 0.94% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Capital Guardian Research 0.96% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Davis New York Venture 1.22% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Evergreen Omega 1.13% --------------------------------------------- EQ/GAMCO Mergers and Acquisitions 1.37% --------------------------------------------- EQ/GAMCO Small Company Value 1.12% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Global Multi-Sector Equity 1.33% --------------------------------------------- EQ/International Core PLUS 1.14% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Large Cap Core PLUS 0.92% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Lord Abbett Growth and Income 0.98% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Lord Abbett Large Cap Core 0.99% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Lord Abbett Mid Cap Value 1.04% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Mid Cap Value PLUS 1.04% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Montag & Caldwell Growth 1.13% --------------------------------------------- EQ/UBS Growth and Income 1.03% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Van Kampen Comstock 0.98% --------------------------------------------- EQ/Van Kampen Mid Cap Growth 1.08% --------------------------------------------- EXAMPLES These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and underlying Trust fees and expenses (including underlying portfolio fees and expenses). For a complete description of portfolio charges and expenses, please see the prospectus for each Trust. The examples below show the expenses that a hypothetical contract owner would pay in the situations illustrated. The examples use an average annual administrative charge based on charges paid in 2008, which results in an estimated annual charge of 0.1076% of contract value. These examples should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses for any option. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. Similarly, the annual rate of return assumed in the examples is not an estimate or guarantee of future investment performance. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year. The examples also assume (i) maximum contract charges rather than the lower current expenses discussed in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus (except the annual administrative charge which is described above); (ii) the total annual expenses of the portfolios (before expense limitations) set forth in the previous tables; and (iii) there is no waiver of the withdrawal charge. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be: 14 Fee table

Contract features and benefits -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW YOU CAN PURCHASE AND CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR CONTRACT You may purchase a contract by making payments to us that we call "contributions." We can refuse to accept any contribution from you at any time, including after you purchase the contract. We require a minimum contribution amount for each type of contract purchased. Maximum contribution limitations also apply. The minimum contribution amount under our automatic investment program is $20. We discuss the automatic investment program under "About methods of payment" in "More information" later in this prospectus. The following table summarizes our current rules regarding contributions to your contract, which rules are subject to change. All ages in the table refer to the age of the annuitant named in the contract. Upon advance notice to you, we may exercise certain rights we have under the contract regarding contributions, including our right to (i) change minimum and maximum contribution requirements and limitations, and (ii) discontinue acceptance of contributions. Further, we may at any time exercise our rights to limit the number of variable investment options which you may elect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We reserve the right to change our current limitations on your contributions and to discontinue acceptance of contributions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See "Tax information" later in this prospectus for a more detailed discussion of sources of contributions and certain contribution limitations. We currently do not accept any contribution if (i) the aggregate contributions under one or more EQUI-VEST(R) series and EQUI-VEST(R) At Retirement(SM) contracts with the same owner or annuitant would then total more than $1,500,000 ($500,000 for the same owner or annuitant who is age 81 and older at contract issue) or (ii) the aggregate contributions under all AXA Equitable annuity accumulation contracts with the same owner or annuitant would then total more than $2,500,000. We may waive these and other contribution limitations based on criteria we determine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "annuitant" is the person who is the measuring life for determining contract benefits. The annuitant is not necessarily the contract owner. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See "Tax information" later in this prospectus for a more detailed discussion of sources of contributions and certain contribution limitations. For information on when contributions are credited under your contract, see "Dates and prices at which contract events occur" in "More information" later in this prospectus. Please review your contract for information on contribution limitations. 20 Contract features and benefits To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Owner and annuitant requirements Under NQ contracts, the annuitant can be different than the owner. A joint owner may also be named. Only natural persons can be joint owners. This means that an entity such as a corporation cannot be a joint owner. Under traditional and Roth IRA contracts, the owner and annuitant must be the same person. For owner and annuitant requirements for Inherited IRA, see "Inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract" later in this prospectus. HOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS Except as noted below, contributions must be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank in U.S. dollars, and made payable to "AXA Equitable". We may also apply contributions made pursuant to an intended Section 1035 tax-free exchange or direct transfer. We do not accept third-party checks endorsed to us except for rollover contributions, contract exchanges or trustee checks that involve no refund. All checks are subject to our ability to collect the funds. We reserve the right to reject a payment if it is received in an unacceptable form. Additional contributions may also be made by wire transfer or our automatic investment program. The methods of payment are discussed in detail under "About other methods of payment" in "More information" later in this prospectus. Your initial contribution must generally be accompanied by an application and any other form we need to process the contributions. If any information is missing or unclear, we will hold the contribution, whether received via check or wire, in a non-interest bearing suspense account while we try to obtain that information. If we are unable to obtain all of the information we require within five business days after we receive an incomplete application or form, we will inform the financial professional submitting the application on your behalf. We will then return the contribution to you unless you specifically direct us to keep your contribution until we receive the required information. Generally, you may make additional contributions at any time. You may do so in single sum amounts, on a regular basis, or as your financial situation permits. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our "business day" is generally any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading and generally ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or as of an earlier close of regular trading). A business day does not include a day on which we are not open due to emergency conditions determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may also close early due to such emergency conditions. For more information about our business day and our pricing of transactions, please see "Dates and prices at which contract events occur." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT ARE YOUR VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT? VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS Your investment results in any one of the variable investment options will depend on the investment performance of the underlying portfolios. You can lose your principal when investing in the variable investment options. In periods of poor market performance, the net return, after charges and expenses, may result in negative yields, including for the EQ/Money Market variable investment option. Listed below are the currently available portfolios, their investment objectives, and their advisers. We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions and to limit the number of variable investment options you may elect. Contract features and benefits 21 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green PORTFOLIOS OF THE TRUSTS The AXA Allocation Portfolios and the EQ/AXA Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Core Portfolio offer contract owners a convenient opportunity to invest in other portfolios that are managed and have been selected for inclusion in the AXA Allocation Portfolios and the EQ/AXA Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Core Portfolio by AXA Equitable. AXA Advisors, LLC, an affiliated broker-dealer of AXA Equitable, may promote the benefits of such portfolios to contract owners and/or suggest, incidental to the sale of this contract, that contract owners consider whether allocating some or all of their account value to such portfolios is consistent with their desired investment objectives. In doing so, AXA Equitable, and/or its affiliates, may be subject to conflicts of interest insofar as AXA Equitable may derive greater revenues from the AXA Allocation Portfolios and the EQ/AXA Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Core Portfolio than certain other portfolios available to you under your contract. In addition, due to the relative diversification of the underlying portfolios covering various asset classes and categories, the AXA Allocation Portfolios and the EQ/AXA Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Core Portfolio may enable AXA Equitable to more efficiently manage AXA Equitable's financial risks associated with certain guaranteed features. Please see "Allocating your contributions" later in this section for more information about your role in managing your allocations. AXA Equitable serves as the investment manager of the portfolios of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust. For some portfolios, AXA Equitable has entered into sub-advisory agreements with investment advisers (the "sub-advisers") to carry out the day-to-day investment decisions for the portfolios. As such, AXA Equitable oversees the activities of the sub-advisers with respect to the Trusts and is responsible for retaining or discontinuing the services of those sub-advisers. The chart below indicates the objective and investment manager or the sub-adviser(s), as applicable, for each portfolio.

Contract features and benefits 27 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green ALLOCATING YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS You may allocate your contributions to one or more, or all of the variable investment options. Allocations must be in whole percentages and you may change your allocation percentages at any time. However, the total of your allocations must equal 100%. Once your contributions are allocated to the variable investment options they become part of your account value. We discuss account value in "Determining your contract's value" later in this prospectus. The contract is between you and AXA Equitable. The contract is not an investment advisory account, and AXA Equitable is not providing any investment advice or managing the allocations under your contract. In the absence of a specific written arrangement to the contrary, you, as the owner of the contract, have the sole authority to make investment allocations and other decisions under the contract. Your AXA Advisors' financial professional is acting as a broker-dealer registered representative, and is not authorized to act as an investment advisor or to manage the allocations under your contract. If your financial professional is a registered representative with a broker-dealer other than AXA Advisors, you should speak with him/her regarding any different arrangements that may apply. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL WITHIN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with your contract, you may return it to us for a refund. To exercise this cancellation right, you must mail the contract directly to our processing office within 10 days after you receive it. If state law requires, this "free look" period may be longer. Your refund will equal your contributions, reflecting any investment gain or loss that also reflects the daily charges we deduct. Some states require that we refund the full amount of your contribution (not including any investment gain or loss, or interest). For an IRA contract returned to us within seven days after you receive it, we are required to refund the full amount of your contribution. We may require that you wait six months before you apply for a contract with us again if: o you cancel your contract during the free look period; or o you change your mind before you receive your contract whether we have received your contribution or not. See Appendix II for any state variations. In addition to the cancellation right described above, you have the right to surrender your contract, rather than cancel it. Please see "Surrender of your contract to receive its cash value," later in this prospectus. Surrendering your contract may yield results different than canceling your contract, including a greater potential for taxable income. In some cases, your cash value upon surrender may be greater than your contributions to the contract. Please see "Tax information," later in this prospectus for possible consequences of cancelling your contract. INHERITED IRA BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION CONTRACT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congress has enacted a limited suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals only for calendar year 2009. Please note that for contract design administrative purposes, we will make distributions for calendar year 2009 unless the distributee requests in writing before the distribution is made that we refrain from making the required minimum distribution for calendar year 2009. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This contract is available to an individual beneficiary of a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA where the deceased owner held the individual retirement account or annuity (or Roth individual retirement account or annuity) with an insurance company or financial institution other than AXA Equitable. The purpose of the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract is to permit the beneficiary to change the funding vehicle that the deceased owner selected ("original IRA") while taking the required minimum distribution payments that must be made to the beneficiary after the deceased owner's death. See the discussion of required minimum distributions under "Tax Information." This contract is intended only for beneficiaries who want to take payments at least annually over their life expectancy. These payments generally must begin (or must have begun) no later than December 31 of the calendar year following the year the deceased owner died. This contract is not suitable for beneficiaries electing the "5-year rule." See "Beneficiary continuation option for traditional IRA and Roth IRA contracts" in "Payment of the death benefit" later in this prospectus. You should discuss with your tax adviser your own personal situation. The Inherited traditional IRA is also available to non-spousal beneficiaries of deceased plan participants in qualified plans, 403(b) plans and governmental employer 457(b) plans ("Applicable Plan(s)"). In this discussion, unless otherwise indicated, references to "deceased owner" include "deceased plan participant"; references to "original IRA" include "the deceased plan participant's interest or benefit under the Applicable Plan", and references to "individual beneficiary of a traditional IRA" include "individual non-spousal beneficiary under an Applicable Plan." The inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract can only be purchased by a direct transfer of the beneficiary's interest under the deceased owner's original IRA. In the case of a non-spousal beneficiary under a deceased plan participant's Applicable Plan, the Inherited traditional IRA can only be purchased by a direct rollover of the death benefit under the Applicable Plan. The owner of the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract is the individual who is the beneficiary of the original IRA. (Certain trusts with only individual beneficiaries will be treated as individuals for this purpose). The contract must also contain the name of the deceased owner. In this discussion, "you" refers to the owner of the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract. The inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract can be purchased whether or not the deceased owner had begun taking required minimum distribution payments during his or her life from the original IRA or whether you had already begun taking required minimum distribu- 28 Contract features and benefits To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green tion payments of your interest as a beneficiary from the deceased owner's original IRA. You should discuss with your own tax adviser when payments must begin or must be made. Under the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract: o You must receive payments at least annually (but can elect to receive payments monthly or quarterly). Payments are generally made over your life expectancy determined in the calendar year after the deceased owner's death and determined on a term certain basis. o The beneficiary of the original IRA will be the annuitant under the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract. In the case where the beneficiary is a "see-through trust," the oldest beneficiary of the trust will be the annuitant. o An inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract is not available for annuitants over age 70. o The initial contribution must be a direct transfer from the deceased owner's original IRA and must be at least $5,000. o Additional contributions of at least $1,000 are permitted, but must be direct transfers of your interest as a beneficiary from another IRA with a financial institution other than AXA Equitable, where the deceased owner is the same as under the original IRA contract. o A non-spousal beneficiary under an Applicable Plan cannot make additional contributions to an Inherited traditional IRA contract. o You may make transfers among the variable investment options. o You may choose at any time to withdraw all or a portion of the account value. Any partial withdrawal must be at least $300. Withdrawal charges will apply as described under "Withdrawal charge" in "Charges and expenses," later in this prospectus. o The following features mentioned in the prospectus are not available under the inherited IRA beneficiary continuation contract: successor owner/annuitant, automatic investment program and systematic withdrawals. o If you die, we will pay to a beneficiary that you choose the greater of the account value or the minimum death benefit. o Upon your death, your beneficiary has the option to continue taking required minimum distributions based on your remaining life expectancy or to receive any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum. The option elected will be processed when we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions for the method of payment and any required information and forms necessary to effect payment. If your beneficiary elects to continue to take distributions, we will increase the account value to equal the minimum death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death and any required instructions, information and forms. The increase in account value will be allocated to the variable investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. Thereafter, withdrawal charges will no longer apply. Contract features and benefits 29 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 2. Determining your contract's value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND CASH VALUE Your "account value" is the total of the values you have in the variable investment options. These amounts are subject to certain fees and charges discussed under "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus. Your contract also has a "cash value." At any time before annuity payments begin, your contract's cash value is equal to the account value less: (i) any applicable withdrawal charges and (ii) the total amount or a pro rata portion of the annual administrative charge. Please see "Surrender of your contract to receive its cash value" in "Accessing your money" later in this prospectus. YOUR CONTRACT'S VALUE IN THE VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS Each variable investment option invests in shares of a corresponding portfolio. Your value in each variable investment option is measured by "units." The value of your units will increase or decrease as though you had invested it in the corresponding portfolio's shares directly. Your value, however, will be reduced by the amount of the fees and charges that we deduct under the contract. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Units measure your value in each variable investment option. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The unit value for each variable investment option depends on the investment performance of that option minus daily charges for mortality and expense risks and other expenses. On any day, your value in any variable investment option equals the number of units credited to that option, adjusted for any units purchased for or deducted from your contract under that option, multiplied by that day's value for one unit. The number of your contract units in any variable investment option does not change unless they are: (i) increased to reflect additional contributions; (ii) decreased to reflect a withdrawal (plus applicable withdrawal charges); or (iii) increased to reflect a transfer into, or decreased to reflect a transfer out of a variable investment option. In addition, when we deduct the annual administrative charge or third-party transfer or exchange charge, we will reduce the number of units credited to your contract. A description of how unit values are calculated is found in the SAI. 30 Determining your contract's value To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 3. Transferring your money among variable investment options -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSFERRING YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE At any time before the date annuity payments are to begin, you can transfer some or all of your account value among the variable investment options. You must transfer at least $300 of account value or, if less, the entire amount in the variable investment option. We may waive this minimum transfer amount requirement. Upon advance notice to you, we may change or establish additional restrictions on transfers among the variable investment options, including limitations on the number, frequency, or dollar amount of transfers. A transfer request does not change your percentages for allocating current or future contributions among the variable investment options. Our current transfer restrictions are set forth in the "Disruptive transfer activity" section below. You may request a transfer in writing, or by telephone using TOPS or on line using Online Account Access. You must send in all signed written requests directly to our processing office. Transfer requests should specify: (1) the contract number, (2) the dollar amounts to be transferred, and (3) the variable investment options to and from which you are transferring. We will confirm all transfers in writing. Please see "Allocating your contributions" in "Contract features and benefits" for more information about your role in managing your allocations. DISRUPTIVE TRANSFER ACTIVITY You should note that the contract is not designed for professional "market timing" organizations, or other organizations or individuals engaging in a market timing strategy. The contract is not designed to accommodate programmed transfers, frequent transfers or transfers that are large in relation to the total assets of the underlying portfolio. Frequent transfers, including market timing and other program trading or short-term trading strategies, may be disruptive to the underlying portfolios in which the variable investment options invest. Disruptive transfer activity may adversely affect performance and the interests of long-term investors by requiring a portfolio to maintain larger amounts of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price. For example, when market timing occurs, a portfolio may have to sell its holdings to have the cash necessary to redeem the market timer's investment. This can happen when it is not advantageous to sell any securities, so the portfolio's performance may be hurt. When large dollar amounts are involved, market timing can also make it difficult to use long-term investment strategies because a portfolio cannot predict how much cash it will have to invest. In addition, disruptive transfers or purchases and redemptions of portfolio investments may impede efficient portfolio management and impose increased transaction costs, such as brokerage costs, by requiring the portfolio manager to effect more frequent purchases and sales of portfolio securities. Similarly, a portfolio may bear increased administrative costs as a result of the asset level and investment volatility that accompanies patterns of excessive or short-term trading. Portfolios that invest a significant portion of their assets in foreign securities or the securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be subject to the risks associated with market timing and short-term trading strategies to a greater extent than portfolios that do not. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio securities values occur after the close of the overseas market but prior to the close of the U.S. markets. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies present arbitrage opportunities because the market for such securities may be less liquid than the market for securities of larger companies, which could result in pricing inefficiencies. Please see the prospectuses for the underlying portfolios for more information on how portfolio shares are priced. We currently use the procedures described below to discourage disruptive transfer activity. You should understand, however, that these procedures are subject to the following limitations: (1) they primarily rely on the policies and procedures implemented by the underlying portfolios; (2) they do not eliminate the possibility that disruptive transfer activity, including market timing, will occur or that portfolio performance will be affected by such activity; and (3) the design of market timing procedures involves inherently subjective judgments, which we seek to make in a fair and reasonable manner consistent with the interests of all contract owners. We offer variable investment options with underlying portfolios that are part of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust (together, the "trusts"). The trusts have adopted policies and procedures regarding disruptive transfer activity. They discourage frequent purchases and redemptions of portfolio shares and will not make special arrangements to accommodate such transactions. They aggregate inflows and outflows for each portfolio on a daily basis. On any day when a portfolio's net inflows or outflows exceed an established monitoring threshold, the trust obtains from us contract owner trading activity. The trusts currently consider transfers into and out of (or vice versa) the same variable investment option within a five business day period as potentially disruptive transfer activity. Each trust reserves the right to reject a transfer that it believes, in its sole discretion, is disruptive (or potentially disruptive) to the management of one of its portfolios. Please see the prospectuses for the trusts for more information. When a contract is identified in connection with potentially disruptive transfer activity for the first time, a letter is sent to the contract owner explaining that there is a policy against disruptive transfer activity and that if such activity continues, certain transfer privileges may be eliminated. If and when the contract owner is identified a second time as Transferring your money among variable investment options 31 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green engaged in potentially disruptive transfer activity under the contract, we currently prohibit the use of voice, fax and automated transaction services. We currently apply such action for the remaining life of each affected contract. We or a trust may change the definition of potentially disruptive transfer activity, the monitoring procedures and thresholds, any notification procedures, and the procedures to restrict this activity. Any new or revised policies and procedures will apply to all contract owners uniformly. We do not permit exceptions to our policies restricting disruptive transfer activity. It is possible that a trust may impose a redemption fee designed to discourage frequent or disruptive trading by contract owners. As of the date of this prospectus, the trusts had not implemented such a fee. If a redemption fee is implemented by a trust, that fee, like any other trust fee, will be borne by the contract owner. Contract owners should note that it is not always possible for us and the underlying trusts to identify and prevent disruptive transfer activity. In addition, because we do not monitor for all frequent trading at the separate account level, contract owners may engage in frequent trading which may not be detected, for example, due to low net inflows or outflows on the particular day(s). Therefore, no assurance can be given that we or the trusts will successfully impose restrictions on all potentially disruptive transfers. Because there is no guarantee that disruptive trading will be stopped, some contract owners may be treated differently than others, resulting in the risk that some contract owners may be able to engage in frequent transfer activity while others will bear the effect of that frequent transfer activity. The potential effects of frequent transfer activity are discussed above. AUTOMATIC TRANSFER OPTIONS GENERAL DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING Dollar-cost averaging allows you to gradually allocate amounts to the variable investment options by periodically transferring approximately the same dollar amount to the variable investment options you select. This will cause you to purchase more units if the unit's value is low and fewer units if the unit's value is high. Therefore, you may get a lower average cost per unit over the long term. This plan of investing, however, does not guarantee that you will earn a profit or be protected against losses. The general dollar-cost averaging feature allows you to have amounts automatically transferred from the EQ/Money Market option to the other variable investment options on a monthly basis. In order to elect the general dollar-cost averaging option you must have a minimum of $2,000 in the EQ/Money Market option on the date we receive your election form at our processing office. You can specify the number of monthly transfers or instruct us to continue to make monthly transfers until all available amounts in the EQ/Money Market option have been transferred out. The minimum amount that we will transfer each month is $50. The maximum amount we will transfer is equal to your value in the EQ/Money Market option at the time the program is elected, divided by the number of transfers scheduled to be made. If, on any transfer date, your value in the EQ/Money Market option is equal to or less than the amount you have elected to have transferred, the entire amount will be transferred. General dollar-cost averaging will then end. You may change the transfer amount once each contract year, or cancel this program at any time. You may not elect dollar-cost averaging if you are participating in the rebalancing program. REBALANCING YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE We currently offer a rebalancing program that you can use to automatically reallocate your account value among the variable investment options. To enroll in the asset rebalancing program, you must notify us in writing by completing our asset rebalancing form, instructing: (a) the percentage you want invested in each variable investment option (whole percentages only), and (b) how often you want the rebalancing to occur (quarterly, semiannually, or annually). While your rebalancing program is in effect, we will transfer amounts among each variable investment option so that the percentage of your account value that you specify is invested in each option at the end of each rebalancing date. Your entire account value in the variable investment options must be included in the rebalancing program. Currently, we permit rebalancing of up to 20 investment options. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rebalancing does not assure a profit or protect against loss. You should periodically review your allocation percentages as your needs change. You may want to discuss the rebalancing program with your financial professional and/or financial adviser before electing the program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be eligible, you must have at least $5,000 of account value in the variable investment options. You may also change your allocation instructions or cancel the program at any time. If you request a transfer while the rebalancing program is in effect, we will process the transfer as requested; the rebalancing program will remain in effect unless you request that it be cancelled in writing. You may elect or terminate the rebalancing program at any time. You may also change your allocations under the program at any time. Once enrolled in the rebalancing program, it will remain in effect until you instruct us in writing to terminate the program. Requesting an investment option transfer while enrolled in our rebalancing program will not automatically change your allocation instructions for rebalancing your account value. This means that upon the next scheduled rebalancing, we will transfer amounts among your investment options pursuant to the allocation instructions previously on file for your program. Changes to your allocation instructions for the rebalancing program (or termination of your enrollment in the program) must be in writing and sent to our Processing Office. You may not elect the rebalancing program if you are participating in the dollar-cost averaging program. 32 Transferring your money among variable investment options To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 4. Accessing your money -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITHDRAWING YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE You have several ways to withdraw your account value before annuity payments begin. The table below shows the methods available under each type of contract. More information follows the table. For the tax consequences of taking withdrawals, see "Tax information" later in this prospectus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method of Withdrawal -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minimum Contract Partial Systematic distribution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NQ Yes Yes No -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- traditional IRA Yes Yes Yes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roth IRA Yes Yes No -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS (All contracts) You may take partial withdrawals from your account value at any time while the annuitant is living and before annuity payments begin. The minimum amount you may withdraw at any time is $300. If you request a withdrawal that leaves you with an account value of less than $500, we may treat it as a request to surrender the contract for its cash value. See "Surrender of your contract to receive its cash value" below. Partial withdrawals in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount may be subject to a withdrawal charge (see "10% free withdrawal amount" in "Charges and expenses" later in this prospectus). SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS (All contracts except inherited IRA) If you have at least $20,000 of account value, you may take systematic withdrawals on a monthly or quarterly basis. The minimum amount you may take for each withdrawal is $250. We will make the withdrawals on any day of the month that you select as long as it is not later than the 28th day of the month. If you do not select a date, your withdrawals will be made on the first day of the month. A check for the amount of the withdrawal will be mailed to you or, if you prefer, we will electronically transfer the money to your checking or savings account. If you choose to have a fixed dollar amount taken from the variable investment options and/or the guaranteed interest option, you may elect to have the amount of the withdrawal subtracted from your account value in one of three ways: (1) Pro rata from all of your variable investment options and the guaranteed interest option, in which you have value (without exhausting your values in those options). Once the requested amount is greater than your account value, the systematic withdrawal program will terminate. (2) Pro rata from all of your variable investment options and the guaranteed interest option, in which you have value (until your account value is exhausted). Once the requested amount leaves you with an account value of less than $500, we will treat it as a request to surrender your contract. (3) You may specify a dollar amount from one variable investment option or the guaranteed interest option. If you choose this option and the value in the investment option drops below the requested withdrawal amount, the requested withdrawal amount will be taken on a pro rata basis from all remaining investment options in which you have value. Once the requested amount leaves you with an account value of less than $500, we will treat it as a request to surrender your contract. You can cancel the systematic withdrawal option at any time. Amounts withdrawn in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount may be subject to a withdrawal charge. LIFETIME MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION WITHDRAWALS (Traditional IRA contracts -- See "Tax information" later in this prospectus.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congress has enacted a limited suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals only for calendar year 2009. Please note that for contract design administrative purposes, we will make distributions for calendar year 2009 unless you request in writing before we make the distribution that you do not want any required minimum distribution for calendar year 2009. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We offer our "required minimum distribution (RMD) automatic withdrawal option" to help you meet lifetime required minimum distributions under federal income tax rules. This is not the exclusive way for you to meet these rules. After consultation with your tax adviser, you may decide to compute required minimum distributions yourself and request partial withdrawals. In such a case, a withdrawal charge may apply if your withdrawal exceeds the free withdrawal amount. You may choose instead an annuity payout option. Before electing an account-based withdrawal option, please refer to "Required minimum distributions" under "Individual Retirement Arrangements ("IRAs")" in "Tax information" later in this prospectus. Also, the actuarial present value of additional contract benefits must be added to the account value in calculating required minimum distribution withdrawals, which could increase the amount required to be withdrawn. For this purpose additional annuity contract benefits may include enhanced death benefits. You may elect our RMD automatic withdrawal option in the year in which you reach age 70-1/2 or in any later year. To elect this option, you must have account value of at least $2,000. The minimum amount we will pay out is $300, or if less, your account value. If your account value is less than $500 after the withdrawal, we may terminate your contract and pay you its cash value. Currently, minimum distribution withdrawal payments will be made annually. Accessing your money 33 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Currently, we do not impose a withdrawal charge on minimum distribution withdrawals if you are enrolled in our RMD automatic withdrawal option. The minimum distribution withdrawal will be taken into account in determining if any subsequent withdrawal taken in the same contract year exceeds the 10% free withdrawal amount. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We will send to traditional IRA owners a form outlining the minimum distribution options available in the year you reach age 70-1/2 (if you have not begun your annuity payments before that time). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW WITHDRAWALS ARE TAKEN FROM YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE Unless you specify otherwise, we will subtract your withdrawals on a pro rata basis from your value in the variable investment options. AUTOMATIC DEPOSIT SERVICE If you are receiving Required Minimum Distribution payments from a traditional IRA contract, you may use our automatic deposit service. Under this service we will automatically deposit the Required Minimum Distribution payment from your traditional IRA contract directly into an existing EQUI-VEST(R) NQ or Roth IRA or an existing EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) NQ or Roth IRA contract according to your allocation instructions. Please note that you must have compensation or earned income for the year of the contribution to make regular contributions to Roth IRAs. See "Tax information" later in this prospectus. DEPOSIT OPTION FOR NQ CONTRACTS ONLY You can elect the deposit option for your benefit while you are alive, or for the benefit of your beneficiary. Proceeds from your NQ contract can be deposited with us for a period you select (including one for as long as the annuitant lives). We will hold the amounts in our general account. We will credit interest on the amounts at a guaranteed rate for the specified period. We will pay out the interest on the amount deposited at least once each year. If you elect this option for your benefit, you deposit the amount with us that you would otherwise apply to an annuity payout option. If you elect this option for your beneficiary before the annuitant's death, death benefit proceeds can be left on deposit with us subject to certain restrictions, instead of being paid out to the beneficiary. Other restrictions apply to the deposit option. Your financial professional can provide more information about this option, or you may call our processing office. SURRENDER OF YOUR CONTRACT TO RECEIVE ITS CASH VALUE You may surrender your contract to receive its cash value at any time while the annuitant is living and before you begin to receive annuity payments. For a surrender to be effective, we must receive your written request and your contract at our processing office. We will determine your cash value on the date we receive the required information. All benefits under the contract will terminate as of that date. You may receive your cash value in a single sum payment or apply it to one or more of the annuity payout options. See "Your annuity payout options" below. We will usually pay the cash value within seven calendar days, but we may delay payment as described in "When to expect payments" below. For the tax consequences of surrenders, see "Tax information" later in this prospectus. TERMINATION We may terminate your contract and pay you the cash value if: (1) your account value is less than $500 and you have not made contributions to your contract for a period of three years; or (2) you request a partial withdrawal that reduces your account value to an amount less than $500; or (3) you have not made any contributions within 120 days from your contract date. WHEN TO EXPECT PAYMENTS Generally, we will fulfill requests for payments within seven calendar days after the date of the transaction to which the request relates. These transactions may include applying proceeds to a variable annuity payout option, payment of a death benefit, payment of any amount you withdraw (less any withdrawal charge) and, upon surrender or termination, payment of the cash value. We may postpone such payments or applying proceeds for any period during which: (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed or restricts trading, (2) the SEC determines that an emergency exists as a result of which sales of securities or determination of fair value of a variable investment option's assets is not reasonably practicable, or (3) the SEC, by order, permits us to defer payment to protect people remaining in the variable investment options. All payments are made by check and are mailed to you (or the payee named in a tax-free exchange) by U.S. mail, unless you request that we use an express delivery or wire transfer service at your expense. YOUR ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS Deferred annuity contracts such as EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) provide for conversion to payout status at or before the contract's "maturity date." This is called annuitization. When your contract is annuitized, your EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract and all its benefits will terminate and you will receive a supplemental payout annuity contract ("payout option") that provides for periodic payments for life or for a specified period of time. In general, the periodic payment amount is determined by the account value or cash value of your EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract at the time of annuitization and the annuity purchase factor to which that value is applied, as described below. We have the right to require you to provide any information we deem necessary to provide an annuity payout option. If an annuity payout is later found to be based on incorrect information, it will be adjusted on the basis of the correct information. Your EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract guarantees that upon annuitization, your annuity account value will be applied to a guaranteed 34 Accessing your money To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green annuity purchase factor for a life annuity payout option. We reserve the right, with advance notice to you, to change your annuity purchase factor any time after your fifth contract date anniversary and at not less than five year intervals after the first change. (Please see your contract and SAI for more information). In addition, you may apply your account value or cash value, whichever is applicable, to any other annuity payout option that we may offer at the time of annuitization. We may also offer other payout options not outlined here. Your financial professional can provide details. EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) offers you several choices of annuity payout options. Some enable you to receive fixed annuity payments and others enable you to receive variable annuity payments. You can choose from among the annuity payout options listed below. Restrictions may apply, depending on the type of contract you own and the annuitant's age at contract issue. ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed annuity payout options o Life annuity o Life annuity with period certain o Life annuity with refund certain o Period certain annuity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Variable Immediate Annuity payout o Life annuity (not available in options (as described in a New York) separate prospectus for this o Life annuity with period option) certain -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Life annuity: An annuity that guarantees payments for the rest of the annuitant's life. Payments end with the last monthly payment before the annuitant's death. Because there is no continuation of benefits following the annuitant's death with this payout option, it provides the highest monthly payment of any of the life annuity options, so long as the annuitant is living. o Life annuity with period certain: An annuity that guarantees payments for the rest of the annuitant's life. If the annuitant dies before the end of a selected period of time ("period certain"), payments continue to the beneficiary for the balance of the period certain. The period certain cannot extend beyond the annuitant's life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of the annuitant and the joint annuitant. A life annuity with period certain is the form of annuity under the contracts that you will receive if you do not elect a different payout option. In this case the period certain will be based on the annuitant's age and will not exceed 10 years or the annuitant's life expectancy. o Life annuity with refund certain: An annuity that guarantees payments for the rest of the annuitant's life. If the annuitant dies before the amount applied to purchase the annuity option has been recovered, payments to the beneficiary will continue until that amount has been recovered. This payout option is available only as a fixed annuity. o Period certain annuity: An annuity that guarantees payments for a specific period of time, usually 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. This guarantee period may not exceed the annuitant's life expectancy. This option does not guarantee payments for the rest of the annuitant's life. It does not permit any repayment of the unpaid principal, so you cannot elect to receive part of the payments as a single sum payment with the rest paid in monthly annuity payments. This payout option is available only as a fixed annuity. The life annuity, life annuity with period certain, and life annuity with refund certain payout options are available on a single life or joint and survivor life basis. The joint and survivor life annuity guarantees payments for the rest of the annuitant's life and, after the annuitant's death, payments continue to the survivor. FIXED ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS With fixed annuities, we guarantee fixed annuity payments that will be based either on the tables of guaranteed annuity purchase factors in your contract or on our then current annuity purchase factors, whichever is more favorable for you. VARIABLE IMMEDIATE ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS Variable Immediate Annuities are described in a separate prospectus that is available from your financial professional. Before you select a Variable Immediate Annuity payout option, you should read the prospectus which contains important information that you should know. Variable Immediate Annuities may be funded through your choice of available variable investment options investing in portfolios of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust. The contract also offers a fixed income annuity payout option that can be elected in combination with the variable income annuity payout option. The amount of each variable income annuity payment will fluctuate, depending upon the performance of the variable investment options, and whether the actual rate of investment return is higher or lower than an assumed base rate. SELECTING AN ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTION When you select a payout option, we will issue you a separate written agreement confirming your right to receive annuity payments. We require you to return your contract before annuity payments begin. Unless you choose a different payout option, we will pay annuity payments under a life annuity with a period certain of 10 years. You choose whether these payments will be fixed or variable. The contract owner and annuitant must meet the issue age and payment requirements. You can choose the date annuity payments are to begin, but generally it may not be earlier than thirteen months from the EQUI-VEST(R) contract date. You can change the date your annuity payments are to begin anytime before that date as long as you do not choose a date later than the 28th day of any month or later than your contract's maturity date. Your contract's maturity date is the date by which you must either take a lump sum withdrawal or select an annuity payout option. The maturity date is generally the contract date anniversary that follows the annuitant's 95th birthday. We will send you a notice with your contract statement one year prior to your maturity date. Once you have selected an annuity payout Accessing your money 35 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green option and payments have begun, no change can be made other than transfers among the variable investments options if a variable immediate annuity is selected. If you do not respond to the notice within the 30 days following your maturity date, your contract will be annuitized automatically. We currently offer different payment frequencies on certain annuity payout options. In general, the total annual payout will be lower for more frequent payouts (such as monthly) because of the increased administrative expenses associated with more frequent payouts. Also, in general, the longer the period over which we expect to make payments, the lower will be your payment each year. The amount of the annuity payments will depend on: (1) the amount applied to purchase the annuity; (2) the type of annuity chosen, and whether it is fixed or variable; (3) in the case of a life annuity, the annuitant's age (or the annuitant's and joint annuitant's ages); and (4) in certain instances, the sex of the annuitant(s). The amount applied to provide the annuity payments will be (1) the account value for any life annuity form, or (2) the cash value for any annuity certain (an annuity form that does not guarantee payments for a person's lifetime) except that if the period certain is more than five years, the amount applied will be no less than 95% of the account value. If, at the time you elect a payout option, the amount to be applied is less than $2,000 or the initial payment under the form elected is less than $20 monthly, we reserve the right to pay the account value in a single sum rather than as payments under the payout option chosen. 36 Accessing your money To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 5. Charges and expenses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARGES THAT AXA EQUITABLE DEDUCTS We deduct the following charges each day from the net assets of each variable investment option. These charges are reflected in the unit values of each variable investment option: o A mortality and expense risks charge o A charge for other expenses We deduct the following charges from your account value. When we deduct these charges from your account value, we reduce the number of units credited to your contract: o on the last day of the contract year -- an annual administrative charge, if applicable o charge for third-party transfer or exchange o at the time you make certain withdrawals or surrender your contract, or your contract is terminated -- a withdrawal charge o at the time annuity payments are to begin -- charges designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state. An annuity administrative fee may also apply More information about these charges appears below. We will not increase these charges for the life of your contract, except as noted. We may reduce certain charges under group or sponsored arrangements. See "Group or sponsored arrangements" below. To help with your retirement planning, we may offer other annuities with different charges, benefits and features. Please contact your financial professional for more information. CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS CHARGE We deduct a daily charge from the net assets in each variable investment option to compensate us for mortality and expense risks under the contract, including the death benefit. The daily charge is equivalent to an annual rate of 0.85%. The mortality risk we assume is the risk that annuitants as a group will live for a longer time than our actuarial tables predict. If that happens, we would be paying more in annuity benefits than we planned. We also assume a risk that the mortality assumptions reflected in our guaranteed annuity payment tables, shown in each contract, will differ from actual mortality experience. We may change the actuarial basis for our guaranteed annuity payment tables, but only for new contributions and only at five year intervals from the contract date. Lastly, we assume a mortality risk to the extent that at the time of death, the death benefit exceeds the cash value of the contract. The expense risk we assume is the risk that our expenses in providing the benefits and administering the contracts will be greater than we expect. To the extent that the mortality and expense risk charges are not needed to cover the actual expenses incurred, they may be considered an indirect reimbursement for certain sales and promotional expenses relating to the contracts. CHARGE FOR OTHER EXPENSES We deduct this daily charge from the net assets in each variable investment option. This charge, together with the annual administrative charge described below, is for providing administrative and financial accounting services under the contracts. The daily charge is equivalent to an annual rate of 0.25% of net assets in each variable investment option. ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE We deduct an administrative charge of $50 from your account value on the last business day of each contract year. The charge is deducted pro rata from the variable investment options. Also, we will deduct a pro rata portion of the charge if you surrender your contract, elect an annuity payout option, or the annuitant dies during the contract year. We deduct the charge if your account value on the last business day of the contract year is less than $100,000. If your account value on such date is $100,000 or more, we do not deduct the charge. See Appendix II for any state variations. We currently waive the annual administrative charge that would otherwise be deducted in the next contract year under any individually owned EQUI-VEST(R) contract/certificate having an account value that, when combined with the account value of other EQUI-VEST(R) contracts/certificates owned by the same person, exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate (as determined in January of each year). This does not apply to EQUI-VEST(R) contracts/certificates owned by different members of the same household. We may change or discontinue this practice at any time without prior notice. CHARGE FOR THIRD-PARTY TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE We impose a charge for making a direct transfer of amounts from your contract to a third party, such as in the case of a trustee-to-trustee transfer for an IRA contract, or if you request that your contract be exchanged for a contract issued by another insurance company. In either case, we will deduct from your account value any withdrawal charge that applies and a charge of $25 for each direct transfer or exchange. We reserve the right to increase this charge to a maximum of $65. WITHDRAWAL CHARGE A withdrawal charge may apply in three circumstances: (1) you make one or more withdrawals during a contract year; (2) you surrender your contract to receive its cash value; or (3) we terminate your contract. The amount of the charge will depend on whether the free withdrawal amount applies, and the availability of one or more exceptions. Charges and expenses 37 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green The withdrawal charge equals a percentage of the contributions withdrawn. The percentage that applies depends on how long each contribution has been invested in the contract. We determine the withdrawal charge separately for each contribution according to the following table: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contract year -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8+ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Percentage of contribution 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we treat the contract year in which we receive a contribution as "contract year 1." Amounts withdrawn up to the free withdrawal amount are not considered withdrawal of any contribution. We also treat contributions that have been invested the longest as being withdrawn first. We treat contributions as withdrawn before earnings for purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge. However, federal income tax rules treat earnings under most NQ contracts as withdrawn first. See "Tax information" later in this prospectus. In the case of contract surrender, the free withdrawal amount is taken into account when calculating the amount of the withdrawal. In order to give you the exact dollar amount of the withdrawal you request, we deduct the amount of the withdrawal and the amount of the withdrawal charge from your account value. Any amount deducted to pay withdrawal charges is also subject to that same withdrawal charge percentage. We deduct the withdrawal amount and the withdrawal charge pro rata from the variable investment options. The withdrawal charge does not apply in the circumstances described below. 10% FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. Each contract year you can withdraw up to 10% of your account value without paying a withdrawal charge. The 10% free withdrawal amount is determined using your account value at the time you request a withdrawal, minus any other withdrawals made during the contract year. DEATH AND PURCHASE OF ANNUITY. The withdrawal charge does not apply if: o the annuitant dies and a death benefit is payable to the beneficiary, -or- o we receive a properly completed election form providing for the account value to be used to buy a life contingent annuity or a non-life annuity with a period certain for a term of at least ten years. CHARGES FOR STATE PREMIUM AND OTHER APPLICABLE TAXES We deduct a charge designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state. Generally, we deduct the charge from the amount applied to provide an annuity payout option. The current tax charge that might be imposed varies by jurisdiction and ranges from 0% to 3.5%. VARIABLE IMMEDIATE ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTION ADMINISTRATIVE FEE We deduct a fee of $350 from the amount to be applied to the Variable Immediate Annuity payout option. This option may not be available at the time you elect to begin receiving annuity payouts or it may have a different charge. CHARGES THAT THE TRUSTS DEDUCT The Trusts deduct charges for the following types of fees and expenses: o Management fees ranging from 0.05% to 1.40%. o 12b-1 fees of 0.25%. o Operating expenses, such as trustees' fees, independent auditors' fees, legal counsel fees, administrative service fees, custodian fees, and liability insurance. o Investment-related expenses, such as brokerage commissions. These charges are reflected in the daily share price of each portfolio. Since shares of each Trust are purchased at their net asset value, these fees and expenses are, in effect, passed on to the variable investment options and are reflected in their unit values. Certain portfolios available under the contract in turn invest in shares of other portfolios of AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust (collectively, the "underlying portfolios"). The underlying portfolios each have their own fees and expenses, including management fees, operating expenses, and investment related expenses such as brokerage commissions. For more information about these charges, please refer to the prospectuses for the Trusts. GROUP OR SPONSORED ARRANGEMENTS For certain group or sponsored arrangements, we may reduce the withdrawal charge or the mortality and expense risks charge, or change the minimum contribution requirements. We also may change the minimum death benefit or offer variable investment options that invest in shares of a Trust that are not subject to the 12b-1 fee. Group arrangements include those in which a trustee or an employer, for example, purchases contracts covering a group of individuals on a group basis. Group arrangements are not available for traditional IRA and Roth IRA contracts. Sponsored arrangements include those in which an employer allows us to sell contracts to its employees or retirees on an individual basis. Our costs for sales, administration, and mortality generally vary with the size and stability of the group or sponsoring organization, among other factors. We take all these factors into account when reducing charges. To qualify for reduced charges, a group or sponsored arrangement must meet certain requirements, such as requirements for size and number of years in existence. Group or sponsored arrangements that have been set up solely to buy contracts or that have been in existence less than six months will not qualify for reduced charges. We will make these and any similar reductions according to our rules in effect when we approve a contract for issue. We may change these rules from time to time. Any variation will reflect differences in costs or services and will not be unfairly discriminatory. Group or sponsored arrangements may be governed by federal income tax rules, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or both. We make no representations with regard to the impact of these and other applicable laws on such programs. We recommend that employers, trustees, and others purchasing or making contracts available for purchase under such programs seek the advice of their own legal and benefits advisers. 38 Charges and expenses To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green OTHER DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS We may reduce or eliminate charges when sales are made in a manner that results in savings of sales and administrative expenses, such as sales through persons who are compensated by clients for recommending investments and who receive no commission or reduced commissions in connection with the sale of the contracts. We will not permit a reduction or elimination of charges where it will be unfairly discriminatory. Charges and expenses 39 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 6. Payment of death benefit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOUR BENEFICIARY AND PAYMENT OF BENEFIT You designate your beneficiary when you apply for your contract. You may change your beneficiary at any time. The change will be effective on the date the written request for the change is received in our processing office. We are not responsible for any beneficiary change request that we do not receive. We will send you a written confirmation when we receive your request. Under jointly owned contracts, the surviving owner is considered the beneficiary, and will take the place of any other beneficiary. DEATH BENEFIT The death benefit is equal to the greater of (i) the account value as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of the annuitant's death, any required instructions for the method of payment, information and forms necessary to effect payment or (ii) the "minimum death benefit." The minimum death benefit is equal to your total contributions, adjusted for withdrawals and any withdrawal charges, and any taxes that apply. HOW WITHDRAWALS AFFECT THE MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT Each withdrawal you make will reduce the amount of your current minimum death benefit on a pro rata basis. Reduction on a pro rata basis means that we calculate the percentage of your current account value that is being withdrawn and we reduce your current minimum death benefit by that same percentage. For example, if your account value is $30,000, and you withdraw $12,000 you have withdrawn 40% of your account value. If your minimum death benefit was $40,000 before the withdrawal, it would be reduced by $16,000 ($40,000 x .40) and your new minimum death benefit after the withdrawal would be $24,000 ($40,000-$16,000). EFFECT OF THE ANNUITANT'S DEATH If the annuitant dies before the annuity payments begin, we will pay the death benefit to your beneficiary. Generally, the death of the annuitant terminates the contract. However, if you are both the owner and the annuitant and your spouse is the sole primary beneficiary or the joint owner, the contract can be continued as discussed below under "Successor owner and annuitant." Only a spouse who is the sole primary beneficiary can be successor owner/annuitant. The determination of spousal status is made under applicable state law; however, in the event of a conflict between federal and state law, we follow federal rules. A beneficiary may be able to have limited ownership as discussed under "Beneficiary continuation option" below. SUCCESSOR OWNER AND ANNUITANT. For all contracts, your spouse can elect upon your death to continue the contract as the owner/annuitant and no death benefit is payable until the surviving spouse's death. If your surviving spouse decides to continue the contract, then as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the successor owner and annuitant feature, we will increase the account value to equal your minimum death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in the account value will be allocated to the variable investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. Thereafter, withdrawal charges will no longer apply to contributions made before your death. Withdrawal charges will apply if additional contributions are made. These additional contributions will be withdrawn only after all other amounts have been withdrawn. The minimum death benefit will continue to apply. WHEN AN NQ CONTRACT OWNER DIES BEFORE THE ANNUITANT Under certain conditions, the owner changes after the original owner's death for purposes of receiving federal tax law required distributions from the contract. When you are not the annuitant under an NQ contract and you die before annuity payments begin, unless you specify otherwise, we will automatically make the beneficiary you name to receive the death benefit upon the annuitant's death your successor owner. If you do not want this beneficiary also to be the successor owner, you should name a specific successor owner. You may name a successor owner at any time by sending satisfactory notice to our processing office. If the contract is jointly owned and the first owner to die is not the annuitant, the surviving owner becomes the sole contract owner. This person will be considered the successor owner for purposes of the distribution rules described in this section. Unless the surviving spouse of the owner who has died (or in the case of a joint ownership situation, the surviving spouse of the first owner to die) is the successor owner for this purpose, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed under the following rules: o the cash value of the contract must be fully paid to the successor owner (new owner) within five years after your death (or in a joint ownership situation, the death of the first owner to die). o the successor owner may instead elect to receive the cash value as a life annuity (or payments for a period certain of not longer than the new owner's life expectancy). Payments must begin within one year after the non-annuitant owner's death. Unless this alternative is elected, we will pay any cash value five years after your death (or the death of the first owner to die). If the surviving spouse is the successor owner or joint owner, the spouse may elect to continue the contract. No distributions are required as long as the surviving spouse and annuitant are living. An eligible successor owner, including a surviving joint owner after the first owner dies, may elect the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts discussed under "Beneficiary continuation option" below. The account value must be distributed no later than 5 years after the spouse's death. 40 Payment of death benefit To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green HOW DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENT IS MADE We will pay the death benefit to the beneficiary in the form of the annuity payout option you have chosen. If you have not chosen an annuity payout option as of the time of the annuitant's death, the beneficiary will receive the death benefit in a single sum. However, subject to any exceptions in the contract, our rules and any applicable requirements under federal income tax rules, the beneficiary may elect to apply the death benefit to one or more annuity payout options we offer at the time. See "Your annuity payout options" in "Accessing your money" earlier in this prospectus. Please note that any annuity payout option chosen may not extend beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. If the beneficiary is a natural person (i.e., not an entity such as a corporation or a trust) and so elects, death benefit proceeds can be paid through the "AXA Equitable Access Account", an interest-bearing account with check-writing privileges. In that case, we will send the beneficiary a checkbook, and the beneficiary will have immediate access to the proceeds by writing a check for all or part of the amount of the death benefit proceeds. AXA Equitable will retain the funds until a check is presented for payment. Interest on the AXA Equitable Access Account is earned from the date we establish the account until the account is closed by your beneficiary or by us if the account balance falls below the minimum balance requirement, which is currently $1,000. The AXA Equitable Access Account is part of AXA Equitable's general account and is subject to the claims of our creditors. The AXA Equitable Access Account is not a bank account or a checking account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. We will receive any investment earnings during the period such amounts remain in the general account. BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION OPTION This feature permits a designated individual, on the contract owner's death, to maintain a contract with the deceased contract owner's name on it and receive distributions under the contract, instead of receiving the death benefit in a single sum. We make this option available to beneficiaries under traditional IRA, Roth IRA and NQ contracts. BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION OPTION FOR TRADITIONAL IRA AND ROTH IRA CONTRACTS ONLY. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congress has enacted a limited suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals only for calendar year 2009. No post-death required minimum distributions need to be made during 2009. For deaths occurring in 2008, the deadline for an eligible beneficiary to elect the beneficiary continuation option is September 30, 2010. Please note that for contract design administrative purposes, if the beneficiary continuation option is in effect, we will make distributions for calendar year 2009 unless the beneficiary requests in writing before we make the distribution that the beneficiary wants no required minimum distribution for calendar year 2009. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The beneficiary must elect this feature by September 30th of the year following the calendar year of your death and before any other inconsistent election is made. Beneficiaries who do not make a timely election will not be eligible for this option. If the election is made, then, as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the beneficiary continuation option feature, we will increase the account value to equal the applicable death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in account value will be allocated to the variable investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. Generally, payments will be made once a year to the beneficiary over the beneficiary's life expectancy (determined in the calendar year after your death and determined on a term certain basis). These payments must begin no later than December 31st of the calendar year after the year of your death. For sole spousal beneficiaries, payments may begin by December 31st of the calendar year in which you would have reached age 70-1/2, if such time is later. For traditional IRA contracts only, if you die before your Required Beginning Date for required minimum distributions as discussed in "Tax information" later in this prospectus, the beneficiary may choose the "5-year rule" instead of annual payments over life expectancy. The 5-year rule is always available to beneficiaries under Roth IRA contracts. If the beneficiary chooses this option, the beneficiary may take withdrawals as desired, but the entire account value must be fully withdrawn by December 31st of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of your death. Under the beneficiary continuation option for IRA and Roth IRA contracts: o The contract continues with your name on it for the benefit of your beneficiary. o This feature is only available if the beneficiary is an individual. Certain trusts with only individual beneficiaries will be treated as individuals for this purpose. o If there is more than one beneficiary, each beneficiary's share will be separately accounted for. It will be distributed over the beneficiary's own life expectancy, if payments over life expectancy are chosen. o The minimum amount that is required in order to elect the ben eficiary continuation option is $5,000 for each beneficiary. o The beneficiary may make transfers among the variable invest ment options but no additional contributions will be permitted. o The minimum death benefit will no longer be in effect. o The beneficiary may choose at any time to withdraw all or a por tion of the account value and no withdrawal charges will apply. o Any partial withdrawal must be at least $300. o Your beneficiary will have the right to name a beneficiary to receive any remaining interest in the contract. o Upon the death of your beneficiary, the beneficiary he or she has named has the option to either continue taking required minimum distributions based on the remaining life expectancy of the deceased beneficiary or to receive any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum. The option elected will be processed when we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions for the method of payment and any required information and forms necessary to effect payment. Payment of death benefit 41 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION OPTION FOR NQ CONTRACTS ONLY. This feature, also known as the "inherited annuity," may only be elected when the NQ contract owner dies before the date annuity payments are to begin, whether or not the owner and the annuitant are the same person. If the owner and annuitant are different and the owner dies before the annuitant, for purposes of this discussion, "beneficiary" refers to the successor owner. For a discussion of successor owner, see "When an NQ contract owner dies before the annuitant" earlier in this section. This feature must be elected within 9 months following the date of your death and before any other inconsistent election is made. Beneficiaries who do not make a timely election will not be eligible for this option. Generally, payments will be made once a year to the beneficiary over the beneficiary's life expectancy, determined on a term certain basis and in the year payments start. These payments must begin no later than one year after the date of your death and are referred to as "scheduled payments." The beneficiary may choose the "5-year rule" instead of scheduled payments over life expectancy. If the beneficiary chooses the 5-year rule, there will be no scheduled payments. Under the 5-year rule, the beneficiary may take withdrawals as desired, but the entire account value must be fully withdrawn by the fifth anniversary of your death. Under the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts (regardless of whether the owner and annuitant are the same person): o This feature is only available if the beneficiary is an individual. It is not available for any entity such as a trust, even if all of the beneficiaries of the trust are individuals. o The contract continues with your name on it for the benefit of your beneficiary. o If there is more than one beneficiary, each beneficiary's share will be separately accounted for. It will be distributed over the respective beneficiary's own life expectancy, if scheduled payments are chosen. o The minimum amount that is required in order to elect the ben eficiary continuation option is $5,000 for each beneficiary. o The beneficiary may make transfers among the variable invest ment options but no additional contributions will be permitted. o The minimum death benefit will no longer be in effect. o If the beneficiary chooses the "5-year rule," withdrawals may be made at any time. If the beneficiary chooses scheduled payments, the beneficiary must also choose between two potential withdrawal options at the time of election. "Withdrawal Option 1" permits total surrender only. "Withdrawal Option 2" permits the beneficiary to take withdrawals, in addition to scheduled payments, at any time. See "Taxation of nonqualified annuities" in "Tax information" later in this prospectus. o Any partial withdrawal must be at least $300. o Your beneficiary will have the right to name a beneficiary to receive any remaining interest in the contract on the beneficiary's death. o Upon the death of your beneficiary, the beneficiary that he or she has named has the option to either continue taking scheduled payments based on the remaining life expectancy of the deceased beneficiary (if scheduled payments were chosen) or to receive any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum. We will pay any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum if your beneficiary elects the 5-year rule. The option elected will be processed when we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions for the method of payment and any required information and forms necessary to effect payment. If you are both the owner and annuitant: o As of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the beneficiary continuation option feature, we will increase the account value to equal the minimum death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in account value will be allocated to the variable investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. o No withdrawal charges will apply to any withdrawals by the ben eficiary. If the owner and annuitant are not the same person: o If the beneficiary continuation option is elected, the beneficiary automatically becomes the new annuitant of the contract, replacing the existing annuitant. o The account value will not be reset to the death benefit amount. o The withdrawal charge schedule and free withdrawal amount on the contract will continue to be applied to any withdrawal or surrender other than scheduled payments. o We do not impose a withdrawal charge on scheduled payments except if, when added to any withdrawals previously taken in the same contract year, including for this purpose a contract surrender, the total amount of withdrawals and scheduled payments exceeds the free withdrawal amount. See "Withdrawal charge" in "Charges and expenses" earlier in this prospectus. If a contract is jointly owned: o The surviving owner supersedes any other named beneficiary and may elect the beneficiary continuation option. o If the deceased joint owner was also the annuitant, see "If you are both the owner and annuitant" above. o If the deceased joint owner was not the annuitant, see "If the owner and annuitant are not the same person" above. 42 Payment of death benefit To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 7. Tax information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW In this part of the prospectus, we discuss the current federal income tax rules that generally apply to EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contracts owned by United States individual taxpayers. The tax rules can differ, depending on the type of contract, whether NQ, traditional IRA or Roth IRA. Therefore, we discuss the tax aspects of each type of contract separately. Federal income tax rules include the United States laws in the Internal Revenue Code, and Treasury Department Regulations and Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code. These tax rules may change without notice. We cannot predict whether, when, or how these rules could change. Any change could affect contracts purchased before the change. Congress may also consider proposals in the future to comprehensively reform or overhaul the United States tax and retirement systems, which if enacted, could affect the tax benefits of a contract. We cannot predict what, if any, legislation will actually be proposed or enacted. We cannot provide detailed information on all tax aspects of the contracts. Moreover, the tax aspects that apply to a particular person's contract may vary depending on the facts applicable to that person. We do not discuss state income and other state taxes, federal income tax and withholding rules for non-U.S. taxpayers, or federal gift and estate taxes. Transfers of the contract, rights or values under the contract, or payments under the contract, for example, amounts due to beneficiaries, may be subject to federal or state gift, estate or inheritance taxes. You should not rely only on this document, but should consult your tax adviser before your purchase. BUYING A CONTRACT TO FUND A RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENT Generally, there are two types of funding vehicles that are available for Individual Retirement Arrangements ("IRAs"): an individual retirement annuity contract such as the ones offered in this prospectus, or a custodial or trusteed individual retirement account. How these arrangements work, including special rules applicable to each, are described in the specific sections for each type of arrangement, below. You should be aware that the funding vehicle for a tax-qualified arrangement does not provide any tax deferral benefit beyond that already provided by the Code for all permissible funding vehicles. Before choosing an annuity contract, therefore, you should consider the annuity's features and benefits, such as the guaranteed minimum death benefit, selection of variable investment options and choices of payout options, as well as the features and benefits of other permissible funding vehicles and the relative costs of annuities and other such arrangements. You should be aware that cost may vary depending on the features and benefits made available and the charges and expenses of the portfolios you elect. Certain provisions of the Treasury Regulations on required minimum distributions concerning the actuarial present value of additional contract benefits could increase the amount required to be distributed from individual retirement annuity contracts. For this purpose additional annuity contract benefits may include enhanced death benefits. You should consider the potential implication of these Regulations before you purchase this annuity contract. TRANSFERS AMONG VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS You can make transfers among variable investment options inside the contract without triggering taxable income. TAXATION OF NONQUALIFIED ANNUITIES CONTRIBUTIONS You may not deduct the amount of your contributions to a nonqualified annuity contract. CONTRACT EARNINGS Generally, you are not taxed on contract earnings until you receive a distribution from your contract, whether as a withdrawal or as an annuity payment. However, earnings are taxable, even without a distribution: o if a contract fails investment diversification requirements as specified in federal income tax rules (these rules are based on or are similar to those specified for mutual funds under securities laws); o if you transfer a contract, for example, as a gift to someone other than your spouse (or former spouse); o if you use a contract as security for a loan (in this case, the amount pledged will be treated as a distribution); and o if the owner is other than an individual (such as a corporation, partnership, trust, or other non-natural person). This provision does not apply to a trust which is a mere agent or nominee for an individual, such as a grantor trust. All nonqualified deferred annuity contracts that AXA Equitable and its affiliates issue to you during the same calendar year are linked together and treated as one contract for calculating the taxable amount of any distribution from any of those contracts. ANNUITY PAYMENTS Once annuity payments begin, a portion of each payment is taxable as ordinary income. You get back the remaining portion without paying taxes on it. This is your "investment in the contract." Generally, your investment in the contract equals the contributions you made, less any amounts you previously withdrew that were not taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the tax-free portion of each payment is determined by (1) dividing your investment in the contract by the total amount you are expected to receive out of the contract, and (2) multiplying the result by the amount of the payment. For variable annuity Tax information 43 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green payments, your tax-free portion of each payment is your investment in the contract divided by the number of expected payments. Once you have received the amount of your investment in the contract, all payments after that are fully taxable. If payments under a life annuity stop because the annuitant dies, there is an income tax deduction for any unrecovered investment in the contract. In order to get annuity payment tax treatment described here, all amounts under the contract must be applied to the annuity payout option; we do not "partially annuitize" nonqualified deferred annuity contracts. WITHDRAWALS MADE BEFORE ANNUITY PAYMENTS BEGIN If you make withdrawals before annuity payments begin under your contract, they are taxable to you as ordinary income if there are earnings in the contract. Generally, earnings are your account value less your investment in the contract. If you withdraw an amount which is more than the earnings in the contract as of the date of the withdrawal, the balance of the distribution is treated as a return of your investment in the contract and is not taxable. CONTRACTS PURCHASED THROUGH EXCHANGES You may purchase your NQ contract through an exchange of another contract. Normally, exchanges of contracts are taxable events. The exchange will not be taxable under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code if: o the contract that is the source of the funds you are using to purchase the NQ contract is another nonqualified deferred annuity contract (or life insurance or endowment contract). o the owner and the annuitant are the same under the source contract and the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) NQ contract. If you are using a life insurance or endowment contract the owner and the insured must be the same on both sides of the exchange transaction. The tax basis, also referred to as your investment in your contract, of the source contract carries over to the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) NQ contract. An owner may direct the proceeds of a partial withdrawal from one nonqualified deferred annuity contract to a different insurer to purchase a new nonqualified deferred annuity contract on a tax-deferred basis. Special forms, agreements between the carriers, and provision of cost basis information may be required to process this type of exchange. Section 1035 exchanges are generally not available after the death of the owner. SURRENDERS If you surrender or cancel the contract, the distribution is taxable as ordinary income (not capital gain) to the extent it exceeds your investment in the contract. DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS MADE TO A BENEFICIARY AFTER YOUR DEATH For the rules applicable to death benefits, see "Payment of death benefit" earlier in this prospectus. The tax treatment of a death benefit taken as a single sum is generally the same as the tax treatment of a withdrawal from or surrender of your contract. The tax treatment of a death benefit taken as annuity payments is generally the same as the tax treatment of annuity payments under your contract. BENEFICIARY CONTINUATION OPTION We have received a private letter ruling from the IRS regarding certain tax consequences of scheduled payments under the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts. See the discussion of the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts earlier in this prospectus. Among other things, the IRS rules that: o scheduled payments under the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts satisfy the death of owner rules of Section 72(s)(2) of the Code, regardless of whether the beneficiary elects Withdrawal Option 1 or Withdrawal Option 2; o scheduled payments, any additional withdrawals under With drawal Option 2, or contract surrenders under Withdrawal Option 1 will only be taxable to the beneficiary when amounts are actually paid, regardless of the Withdrawal Option selected by the beneficiary; o a beneficiary who irrevocably elects scheduled payments with Withdrawal Option 1 will receive "excludable amount" tax treatment on scheduled payments. See "Annuity payments" earlier in this section. If the beneficiary elects to surrender the contract before all scheduled payments are paid, the amount received upon surrender is a non-annuity payment taxable to the extent it exceeds any remaining investment in the contract. The ruling specifically does not address the taxation of any payments received by a beneficiary electing Withdrawal Option 2 (whether scheduled payments or any withdrawal that might be taken). The tax treatment of a withdrawal after the death of the owner taken as a single sum or taken as withdrawals under the 5-year rule is generally the same as the tax treatment of a withdrawal from or surrender of your contract. EARLY DISTRIBUTION PENALTY TAX If you take distributions before you are age 59-1/2 a penalty tax of 10% of the taxable portion of your distribution applies in addition to the income tax. Some of the available exceptions to the pre-age 59-1/2 penalty tax include distributions made: o on or after your death; or o because you are disabled (special federal income tax definition); or o in the form of substantially equal periodic annuity payments for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of you and a beneficiary, in accordance with IRS formulas. INVESTOR CONTROL ISSUES Under certain circumstances, the IRS has stated that you could be treated as the owner (for tax purposes) of the assets of Separate Account A. If you were treated as the owner, you would be taxed on income and gains attributable to the shares of the underlying portfolios. 44 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green The circumstances that would lead to this tax treatment would be that, in the opinion of the IRS, you could control the underlying investment of Separate Account A. The IRS has said that the owners of variable annuities will not be treated as owning the separate account assets provided the underlying portfolios are restricted to variable life and annuity assets. The variable annuity owners must have the right only to choose among the portfolios, and must have no right to direct the particular investment decisions within the portfolios. Although we believe that, under current IRS guidance, you would not be treated as the owner of the assets of Separate Account A, there are some issues that remain unclear. For example, the IRS has not issued any guidance as to whether having a larger number of portfolios available, or an unlimited right to transfer among them, could cause you to be treated as the owner. We do not know whether the IRS will ever provide such guidance or whether such guidance, if unfavorable, would apply retroactively to your contract. Furthermore, the IRS could reverse its current guidance at any time. We reserve the right to modify your contract as necessary to prevent you from being treated as the owner of the assets of Separate Account A. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENTS ("IRAS") GENERAL "IRA" stands for individual retirement arrangement. There are two basic types of such arrangements, individual retirement accounts and individual retirement annuities. In an individual retirement account, a trustee or custodian holds the assets funding the account for the benefit of the IRA owner. The assets typically include mutual funds and/or individual stocks and securities in a custodial account, and bank certificates of deposit in a trusteed account. In an individual retirement annuity, an insurance company issues an annuity contract that serves as the IRA. There are two basic types of IRAs, as follows: o "traditional IRAs," typically funded on a pre-tax basis, including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs issued and funded in connection with employer-sponsored retirement plans. o Roth IRAs, funded on an after-tax basis. Regardless of the type of IRA, your ownership interest in the IRA cannot be forfeited. You or your beneficiaries who survive you are the only ones who can receive the IRA's benefits or payments. All types of IRAs qualify for tax deferral, regardless of the funding vehicle selected. You can hold your IRA assets in as many different accounts and annuities as you would like, as long as you meet the rules for setting up and making contributions to IRAs. However, if you own multiple IRAs, you may be required to combine IRA values or contributions for tax purposes. For further information about individual retirement arrangements, you can read Internal Revenue Service Publication 590 ("Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs)"). This publication is usually updated annually, and can be obtained from any IRS district office or the IRS website (www.irs.gov). AXA Equitable designs its IRA contracts to qualify as "individual retirement annuities" under Section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. We offer the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract in both traditional IRA and Roth IRA versions. We also offer an Inherited IRA version for payment of post-death required minimum distributions for each). This prospectus contains the information that the IRS requires you to have before you purchase an IRA. The first section covers some of the special tax rules that apply to traditional IRAs. The next section covers Roth IRAs. The disclosure generally assumes direct ownership of the individual retirement annuity contracts. We describe the amount and types of charges that may apply to your contributions under "Charges and expenses" earlier in this prospectus. We describe the method of calculating payments under "Accessing your money" earlier in this prospectus. We do not guarantee or project growth in variable income annuitization option payments (as opposed to payments from a fixed income annuitization option). We have not applied for an opinion letter from the IRS approving the forms of the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract as a traditional or Roth IRA, respectively. Such IRS approval is a determination only as to the form of the annuity and does not represent a determination of the merits of the annuity as an investment. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL WITHIN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS You can cancel any version of the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) IRA contract (traditional IRA or Roth IRA) by following the directions under "Your right to cancel within a certain number of days" in "Contract features and benefits" earlier in this prospectus. You can cancel an EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) Roth IRA contract issued as a result of a full or partial conversion of any EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) traditional IRA contract by following the instructions in the "EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) Roth IRA Re-Characterization Form." The form is available from our processing office or your financial professional. If you cancel a traditional IRA, or Roth IRA contract, we may have to withhold tax, and we must report the transaction to the IRS. A contract cancellation could have an unfavorable tax impact. TRADITIONAL INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES (TRADITIONAL IRAS) CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRADITIONAL IRAS. Generally, individuals may make three different types of contributions to purchase a traditional IRA or as additional contributions to an existing IRA: o "regular" contributions out of earned income or compensation; or o tax-free "rollover" contributions; or o direct custodian-to-custodian transfers from other traditional IRAs ("direct transfers"). REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRADITIONAL IRAS LIMITS ON CONTRIBUTIONS. The "maximum regular contribution amount" for any taxable year is the most that can be contributed to all of your IRAs (traditional and Roth) as regular contributions for the particular taxable year. The maximum regular contribution amount depends on age, earnings, and year, among other things. Generally, $5,000 is the maximum amount that you may contribute to all IRAs (including Roth IRAs). When your earnings are below $5,000 your earned income or compensation for the year is the most you can contribute. This limit does not apply to rollover contributions or direct Tax information 45 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green custodian-to-custodian transfers into a traditional IRA. You cannot make regular traditional IRA contributions for the taxable year in which you reach age 70-1/2 or any taxable year after that. If you are at least age 50 at any time during the taxable year for which you are making a regular contribution to your IRA, you may be eligible to make additional "catch up contributions" of up to $1,000 to your traditional IRA. SPECIAL RULES FOR SPOUSES. If you are married and file a joint income tax return, you and your spouse may combine your compensation to determine the amount of regular contributions you are permitted to make to traditional IRAs (and Roth IRAs discussed below). Even if one spouse has no compensation, or compensation under $5,000, married individuals filing jointly can contribute up to $10,000 per year to any combination of traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Any contributions to Roth IRAs reduce the ability to contribute to traditional IRAs and vice versa. The maximum amount may be less if earned income is less and the other spouse has made IRA contributions. No more than a combined total of $5,000 can be contributed annually to either spouse's traditional and Roth IRAs. Each spouse owns his or her traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs even if the other spouse funded the contributions. A working spouse age 70-1/2 or over can contribute up to the lesser of $5,000 or 100% of "earned income" to a traditional IRA for a nonworking spouse until the year in which the nonworking spouse reaches age 70-1/2. Catch-up contributions may be made as described above for spouses who are at least age 50 but under age 70-1/2 at any time during the taxable year for which the contribution is being made. DEDUCTIBILITY OF CONTRIBUTIONS. The amount of traditional IRA contributions that you can deduct for a taxable year depends on whether you are covered by an employer-sponsored-tax-favored retirement plan, as defined under special federal income tax rules. Your Form W-2 will indicate whether or not you are covered by such a retirement plan. If you are not covered by a retirement plan during any part of the year, you can make fully deductible contributions to your traditional IRAs for the taxable year up to the maximum amount discussed above under "Limits on contributions." That is, your fully deductible contribution can be up to $5,000, or if less, your earned income. The dollar limit is $6,000 for people eligible to make age 50-70-1/2 catch-up contributions. If you are covered by a retirement plan during any part of the year, and your adjusted gross income (AGI) is below the lower dollar figure in a phase-out range, you can make fully deductible contributions to your traditional IRAs. If you are covered by a retirement plan during any part of the year, and your AGI falls within a phase-out range, you can make partially deductible contributions to your traditional IRAs. If you are covered by a retirement plan during any part of the year, and your AGI falls above the higher figure in the phase-out range, you may not deduct any of your regular contributions to your traditional IRAs. Cost of living adjustments apply to the income limits on deductible contributions. If you are single and covered by a retirement plan during any part of the taxable year, the deduction for traditional IRA contributions phases out with AGI between $50,000 and $60,000 (for 2009, AGI between $55,000 and $65,000, after adjustment). If you are married and file a joint return, and you are covered by a retirement plan during any part of the taxable year, the deduction for traditional IRA contributions phases out with AGI between $80,000 and $100,000 (for 2009, AGI between $89,000 and $109,000, after adjustment). Married individuals filing separately and living apart at all times are not considered married for purposes of this deductible contribution calculation. Generally, the active participation in an employer-sponsored retirement plan of an individual is determined independently for each spouse. Where spouses have "married filing jointly" status, however, the maximum deductible traditional IRA contribution for an individual who is not an active participant (but whose spouse is an active participant) is phased out for taxpayers with AGI of between $150,000 and $160,000 (for 2009, AGI between $166,000 and $176,000 after adjustment). To determine the deductible amount of the contribution for 2009, for example, you determine AGI and subtract $55,000 if you are single, or $89,000 if you are married and file a joint return with your spouse. The resulting amount is your excess AGI. You then determine the limit on the deduction for traditional IRA contributions using the following formula: ($10,000-excess AGI) times the maximum equals the adjusted --------------------- x regular contribution = deductible divided by $10,000 amount for the year contribution discussed above limit ADDITIONAL "SAVER'S CREDIT" FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO A TRADITIONAL IRA OR ROTH IRA You may be eligible for a nonrefundable income tax credit for contributions you make to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA. If you qualify, you may take this credit even though your traditional IRA contribution is already fully or partially deductible. To take advantage of this "saver's credit" you must be age 18 or over before the end of the taxable year for which the contribution is made. You cannot be a full-time student or claimed as a dependent on another's tax return, and your adjusted gross income cannot exceed $55,000 for 2009 (after cost of living adjustments). The amount of the tax credit you can get varies from 10% of your contribution to 50% of your contribution, and depends on your income tax filing status and your adjusted gross income. The maximum annual contribution eligible for the saver's credit is $2,000. If you and your spouse file a joint return, and each of you qualifies, each is eligible for a maximum annual contribution of $2,000. Your saver's credit may also be reduced if you take or have taken a taxable distribution from any plan eligible for a saver's credit contribution -- even if you make a contribution to one plan and take the distribution from another plan -- during the "testing period." The "testing period" begins two years before the year for which you make the contribution and ends when your tax return is due, including extensions, for the year for which you make the contribution. Saver's-credit-eligible contributions may be made to a 401(k) plan, 403(b) plan, governmental employer 457(b) plan, SIMPLE IRA, or SARSEP IRA, as well as a traditional IRA or Roth IRA. 46 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green NONDEDUCTIBLE REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS. If you are not eligible to deduct part or all of the traditional IRA contribution, you may still make nondeductible contributions on which earnings will accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. The combined deductible and nondeductible contributions to your traditional IRA (or the nonworking spouse's traditional IRA) may not, however, exceed the maximum $5,000 per person limit for the applicable taxable year. The dollar limit is $6,000 for people eligible to make age 50-70-1/2 "catch-up" contributions. See "Excess contributions" below. You must keep your own records of deductible and nondeductible contributions in order to prevent double taxation on the distribution of previously taxed amounts. See "Withdrawals, payments and transfers of funds out of traditional IRAs" below. If you are making nondeductible contributions in any taxable year, or you have made nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA in prior years and are receiving distributions from any traditional IRA, you must file the required information with the IRS. Moreover, if you are making nondeductible traditional IRA contributions, you must retain all income tax returns and records pertaining to such contributions until interests in all traditional IRAs are fully distributed. WHEN YOU CAN MAKE REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS. If you file your tax returns on a calendar year basis like most taxpayers, you have until the April 15 return filing deadline (without extensions) of the following calendar year to make your regular traditional IRA contributions for a tax year. ROLLOVER AND TRANSFER CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRADITIONAL IRAS Rollover contributions may be made to a traditional IRA from these "eligible retirement plans": o qualified plans; o governmental employer 457(b) plans, also referred to as "governmental employer EDC plans"; o 403(b) plans; and o other traditional IRAs. Direct transfer contributions may only be made directly from one traditional IRA to another. Any amount contributed to a traditional IRA after you reach age 70-1/2 must be net of your required minimum distribution for the year in which the rollover or direct transfer contribution is made. During calendar year 2009 only, due to the temporary suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals, you may be able to roll over to a traditional IRA a distribution that normally would not be eligible to be rolled over. Please note that distributions from inherited IRAs made to beneficiaries may not be rolled over once distributed. ROLLOVERS FROM "ELIGIBLE RETIREMENT PLANS" OTHER THAN TRADITIONAL IRAS Your plan administrator will tell you whether or not your distribution is eligible to be rolled over. Spousal beneficiaries and spousal alternate payees under qualified domestic relations orders may roll over funds on the same basis as the plan participant. A non-spousal death beneficiary may also be able to make a direct rollover to an inherited traditional IRA under certain circumstances. There are two ways to do rollovers: o Do it yourself: You actually receive a distribution that can be rolled over and you roll it over to a traditional IRA within 60 days after the date you receive the funds. The distribution from your eligible retirement plan will be net of 20% mandatory federal income tax withholding. If you want, you can replace the withheld funds yourself and roll over the full amount. o Direct rollover: You tell the trustee or custodian of the eligible retirement plan to send the distribution directly to your traditional IRA issuer. Direct rollovers are not subject to mandatory federal income tax withholding. All distributions from a 403(b) plan, qualified plan or governmental employer 457(b) plan are eligible rollover distributions, unless the distribution is: o (for every year except 2009), a "required minimum distribution" after age 70-1/2 or retirement; or o one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made at least annually for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated beneficiary; or o one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made for a specified period of 10 years or more; or o a hardship withdrawal; or o a corrective distribution which fits specified technical tax rules; or o a loan that is treated as a distribution; or o a death benefit payment to a beneficiary who is not your surviving spouse; or o a qualified domestic relations order distribution to a beneficiary who is not your current or former spouse. You should discuss with your tax adviser whether you should consider rolling over funds from one type of tax qualified retirement plan to another, because the funds will generally be subject to the rules of the recipient plan. For example, funds in a governmental employer 457(b) plan are not subject to the additional 10% federal income tax penalty for premature distributions, but they may become subject to this penalty if you roll the funds to a different type of eligible retirement plan, such as a traditional IRA, and subsequently take a premature distribution. ROLLOVERS OF AFTER-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ELIGIBLE RETIREMENT PLANS OTHER THAN TRADITIONAL IRAS Any non-Roth after-tax contributions you have made to a qualified plan or 403(b) plan (but not a governmental employer 457(b) plan) may be rolled over to a traditional IRA (either in a direct rollover or a rollover you do yourself). When the recipient plan is a traditional IRA, Tax information 47 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green you are responsible for recordkeeping and calculating the taxable amount of any distributions you take from that traditional IRA. See "Taxation of payments" later in this prospectus under "Withdrawals, payments and transfers of funds out of traditional IRAs." After-tax contributions in a traditional IRA cannot be rolled over from your traditional IRA into, or back into, a qualified plan, 403(b) plan or governmental employer 457(b) plan. ROLLOVERS FROM TRADITIONAL IRAS TO TRADITIONAL IRAS You may roll over amounts from one traditional IRA to one or more of your other traditional IRAs if you complete the transaction within 60 days after you receive the funds. You may make such a rollover only once in every 12-month period for the same funds. Trustee-to-trustee or custodian-to-custodian direct transfers are not rollover transactions. You can make these more frequently than once in every 12-month period. SPOUSAL ROLLOVERS AND DIVORCE-RELATED DIRECT TRANSFERS The surviving spousal beneficiary of a deceased individual can roll over funds from, or directly transfer funds from, an inherited traditional IRA to one or more other traditional IRAs. A non-spousal death beneficiary may also be able to make a direct rollover to an inherited traditional IRA under certain circumstances. Also, in some cases, traditional IRAs can be transferred on a tax-free basis between spouses or former spouses as a result of a court ordered divorce or separation decree. EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS Excess contributions to IRAs are subject to a 6% excise tax for the year in which made and for each year after until withdrawn. The following are excess contributions to IRAs: o regular contributions of more than the maximum regular contribution amount for the applicable taxable year; or o regular contributions to a traditional IRA made after you reach age 70-1/2; or o rollover contributions of amounts which are not eligible to be rolled over, for example, minimum distributions required to be made after age 70-1/2 (for every year except 2009). You can avoid the excise tax by withdrawing an excess contribution (rollover or regular) before the due date (including extensions) for filing your federal income tax return for the year. If it is an excess regular traditional IRA contribution, you cannot take a tax deduction for the amount withdrawn. You do not have to include the excess contribution withdrawn as part of your income. It is also not subject to the 10% additional penalty tax on early distributions, discussed below under "Early distribution penalty tax." You do have to withdraw any earnings that are attributed to the excess contribution. The withdrawn earnings would be included in your gross income and could be subject to the 10% penalty tax. Even after the due date for filing your return, you may withdraw an excess rollover contribution, without income inclusion or 10% penalty, if: (1) the rollover was from an eligible retirement plan to a traditional IRA; (2) the excess contribution was due to incorrect information that the plan provided; and (3) you took no tax deduction for the excess contribution. RECHARACTERIZATIONS Amounts that have been contributed as traditional IRA funds may subsequently be treated as Roth IRA funds. Special federal income tax rules allow you to change your mind again and have amounts that are subsequently treated as Roth IRA funds, once again treated as traditional IRA funds. You do this by using the forms we prescribe. This is referred to as having "recharacterized" your contribution. WITHDRAWALS, PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS OF FUNDS OUT OF TRADITIONAL IRAS NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW RESTRICTIONS ON WITHDRAWALS. You can withdraw any or all of your funds from a traditional IRA at any time. You do not need to wait for a special event like retirement. TAXATION OF PAYMENTS. Earnings in traditional IRAs are not subject to federal income tax until you or your beneficiary receive them. Taxable payments or distributions include withdrawals from your contract, surrender of your contract, and annuity payments from your contract. Death benefits are also taxable. Except as discussed below, the total amount of any distribution from a traditional IRA must be included in your gross income as ordinary income. We report all payments from traditional IRA contracts on IRS Form 1099-R as fully taxable. If you have ever made nondeductible IRA contributions to any traditional IRA (it does not have to be to this particular traditional IRA contract), those contributions are recovered tax free when you get distributions from any traditional IRA. It is your responsibility to keep permanent tax records of all of your nondeductible contributions to traditional IRAs so that you can correctly report the taxable amount of any distribution on your own tax return. At the end of any year in which you have received a distribution from any traditional IRA, you calculate the ratio of your total nondeductible traditional IRA contributions (less any amounts previously withdrawn tax free) to the total account balances of all traditional IRAs you own at the end of the year plus all traditional IRA distributions made during the year. Multiply this by all distributions from the traditional IRA during the year to determine the nontaxable portion of each distribution. A distribution from a traditional IRA is not taxable if: o the amount received is a withdrawal of excess contributions, as described under "Excess contributions" above; or o the entire amount received is rolled over to another traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan which agrees to accept the funds. (See "Rollovers from eligible retirement plans other than traditional IRAs" under "Rollover and transfer contributions to traditional IRAs" above.) 48 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green The following are eligible to receive rollovers of distributions from a traditional IRA: a qualified plan, a 403(b) plan or a governmental employer 457 plan. After-tax contributions in a traditional IRA cannot be rolled from your traditional IRA into, or back into, a qualified plan, 403(b) plan or governmental employer 457 plan. Before you decide to roll over a distribution from a traditional IRA to another eligible retirement plan, you should check with the administrator of that plan about whether the plan accepts rollovers and, if so, the types it accepts. You should also check with the administrator of the receiving plan about any documents required to be completed before it will accept a rollover. Distributions from a traditional IRA are not eligible for favorable ten-year averaging and long-term capital gain treatment available under limited circumstances for certain distributions from qualified plans. If you might be eligible for such tax treatment from your qualified plan, you may be able to preserve such tax treatment even though an eligible rollover from a qualified plan is temporarily rolled into a "conduit IRA" before being rolled back into a qualified plan. You should discuss this with your tax adviser. Certain distributions from IRAs in 2009 directly transferred to charitable organizations may be tax-free to IRA owners age 70-1/2 or older. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congress has enacted a limited suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals only for calendar year 2009. The suspension does not apply to annuity payments. The suspension does not affect the determination of the Required Beginning Date. Neither lifetime nor post-death required minimum distributions need to be made during 2009. Please note that if you have previously elected to have amounts automatically withdrawn from a contract to meet required minimum distribution rules (for example, our "required minimum distribution (RMD) automatic withdrawal option" or our "beneficiary continuation option" under a deceased individual's IRA contract) we will make distributions for calendar year 2009 unless you request in writing before we make the distribution that you want no required minimum distribution for calendar year 2009. If you receive a distribution which would have been a lifetime required minimum distribution (but for the 2009 suspension), you may preserve the tax deferral on the distribution by rolling it over within 60 days after you receive it to an IRA or other eligible retirement plan. Please note that any distribution to a nonspousal beneficiary which would have been a post-death required minimum distribution (but for the 2009 suspension) is not eligible for the 60-day rollover. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND ON REGULATIONS -- REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions must be made from traditional IRAs according to rules contained in the Code and Treasury Regulations. Certain provisions of the Treasury Regulations require that the actuarial present value of additional annuity contract benefits must be added to the dollar amount credited for purposes of calculating certain types of required minimum distributions from individual retirement annuity contracts. This could increase the amount required to be distributed from these contracts if you take annual withdrawals instead of receiving annuity payments. LIFETIME REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. You must start taking annual distributions from your traditional IRAs for the year in which you turn age 70-1/2. WHEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE FIRST LIFETIME REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION. The first required minimum distribution is for the calendar year in which you turn age 70-1/2. You have the choice to take this first required minimum distribution during the calendar year you actually reach age 70-1/2, or to delay taking it until the first three-month period in the next calendar year (January 1 - April 1). Distributions must start no later than your "Required Beginning Date," which is April 1st of the calendar year after the calendar year in which you turn age 70-1/2. If you choose to delay taking the first annual minimum distribution, then you will have to take two minimum distributions in that year -- the delayed one for the first year and the one actually for that year. Once minimum distributions begin, they must be made at some time each year. HOW YOU CAN CALCULATE REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. There are two approaches to taking required minimum distributions -- "account-based" or "annuity-based." ACCOUNT-BASED METHOD. If you choose an account-based method, you divide the value of your traditional IRA as of December 31st of the past calendar year by a number corresponding to your age from an IRS table. This gives you the required minimum distribution amount for that particular IRA for that year. If your spouse is your sole beneficiary and more than 10 years younger than you, the dividing number you use may be from another IRS table and may produce a smaller lifetime required minimum distribution amount. Regardless of the table used, the required minimum distribution amount will vary each year as the account value, the actuarial present value of additional annuity contract benefits, if applicable, and the divisor change. If you initially choose an account-based method, you may later apply your traditional IRA funds to a life annuity-based payout with any certain period not exceeding remaining life expectancy, determined in accordance with IRS tables. ANNUITY-BASED METHOD. If you choose an annuity-based method, you do not have to do annual calculations. You apply the account value to an annuity payout for your life or the joint lives of you and a designated beneficiary, or for a period certain not extending beyond applicable life expectancies, determined in accordance with IRS tables. DO YOU HAVE TO PICK THE SAME METHOD TO CALCULATE YOUR REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS FOR ALL OF YOUR TRADITIONAL IRAS AND OTHER RETIREMENT PLANS? No. If you want, you can choose a different method for each of your traditional IRAs and other retirement plans. For example, you can choose an annuity payout from one IRA, a different annuity payout from a qualified plan, and an account-based annual withdrawal from another IRA. WILL WE PAY YOU THE ANNUAL AMOUNT EVERY YEAR FROM YOUR TRADITIONAL IRA BASED ON THE METHOD YOU CHOOSE? We will only pay you automatically if you affirmatively select an annuity payout option or an account-based withdrawal option such as our minimum distribution withdrawal option. If you do not elect one of these options, we will calculate the amount of the required minimum distribution withdrawal for you, if you so request in writing. However, in that case you will be responsible for asking us to pay the required minimum distribution withdrawal to you. Tax information 49 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Also, the IRS will let you calculate the required minimum distribution for each traditional IRA that you maintain, using the method that you picked for that particular IRA. You can add these required minimum distribution amount calculations together. As long as the total amount you take out every year satisfies your overall traditional IRA required minimum distribution amount, you may choose to take your annual required minimum distribution from any one or more traditional IRAs that you own. WHAT IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN YOU NEED TO FOR ANY YEAR? The required minimum distribution amount for your traditional IRAs is calculated on a year-by-year basis. There are no carry-back or carry-forward provisions. Also, you cannot apply required minimum distribution amounts you take from your qualified plans to the amounts you have to take from your traditional IRAs and vice versa. WHAT IF YOU TAKE LESS THAN YOU NEED TO FOR ANY YEAR? Your IRA could be disqualified, and you could have to pay tax on the entire value. Even if your IRA is not disqualified, you could have to pay a 50% penalty tax on the shortfall (required amount for traditional IRAs less amount actually taken). It is your responsibility to meet the required minimum distribution rules. We will remind you when our records show that you are within the age group which must take lifetime required minimum distributions. If you do not select a method with us, we will assume you are taking your required minimum distribution from another traditional IRA that you own. WHAT ARE THE REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PAYMENTS AFTER YOU DIE? These could vary depending on whether you die before or after your Required Beginning Date for lifetime required minimum distribution payments, and the status of your beneficiary. The following assumes that you have not yet elected an annuity-based payout at the time of your death. If you elect an annuity-based payout, payments (if any) after your death must be made at least as rapidly as when you were alive. INDIVIDUAL BENEFICIARY. Regardless of whether your death occurs before or after your Required Beginning Date, an individual death beneficiary calculates annual post-death required minimum distribution payments based on the beneficiary's life expectancy using the "term certain method." That is, he or she determines his or her life expectancy using the IRS-provided life expectancy tables as of the calendar year after the owner's death and reduces that number by one each subsequent year. If you die before your Required Beginning Date, the rules permit any individual beneficiary, including a spousal beneficiary, to elect instead to apply the "5-year rule." Under this rule, instead of annual payments having to be made beginning with the first in the year following the owner's death, the entire account must be distributed by the end of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the owner's death. No distribution is required before that fifth year. SPOUSAL BENEFICIARY. If you die after your Required Beginning Date, and your death beneficiary is your surviving spouse, your spouse has a number of choices. Post-death distributions may be made over your spouse's single life expectancy. Any amounts distributed after that surviving spouse's death are made over the spouse's life expectancy calculated in the year of his/her death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. In some circumstances, your surviving spouse may elect to become the owner of the traditional IRA and halt distributions until he or she reaches age 70-1/2, or roll over amounts from your traditional IRA into his or her own traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan. If you die before your Required Beginning Date, and the death beneficiary is your surviving spouse, the rules permit the spouse to delay starting payments over his or her life expectancy until the year in which you would have attained age 70-1/2. NON-INDIVIDUAL BENEFICIARY. If you die after your Required Beginning Date, and your death beneficiary is a non-individual, such as the estate, the rules permit the beneficiary to calculate post-death required minimum distribution amounts based on the owner's life expectancy in the year of death. However, note that we need an individual annuitant to keep an annuity contract in force. If the beneficiary is not an individual, we must distribute amounts remaining in the annuity contract after the death of the annuitant. If you die before your Required Beginning Date for lifetime required minimum distribution payments, and the death beneficiary is a non-individual, such as the estate, the rules continue to apply the 5-year rule discussed above under "Individual beneficiary." Please note that we need an individual annuitant to keep an annuity contract in force. If the beneficiary is not an individual, we must distribute amounts remaining in the annuity contract after the death of the annuitant. SUCCESSOR OWNER AND ANNUITANT If your spouse is the sole primary beneficiary and elects to become the successor owner and annuitant, no death benefit is payable until your surviving spouse's death. The required minimum distribution rules are applied as if your surviving spouse is the contract owner. PAYMENTS TO A BENEFICIARY AFTER YOUR DEATH IRA death benefits are taxed the same as IRA distributions. BORROWING AND LOANS ARE PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS You cannot get loans from a traditional IRA. You cannot use a traditional IRA as collateral for a loan or other obligation. If you borrow against your IRA or use it as collateral, its tax-favored status will be lost as of the first day of the tax year in which this prohibited event occurs. If this happens, you must include the value of the traditional IRA in your federal gross income. Also, the early distribution penalty tax of 10% may apply if you have not reached age 59-1/2 before the first day of that tax year. EARLY DISTRIBUTION PENALTY TAX A penalty tax of 10% of the taxable portion of a distribution applies to distributions from a traditional IRA made before you reach age 59-1/2. Some of the available exceptions to the pre-age 59-1/2 penalty tax include distributions made: 50 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green o on or after your death; or o because you are disabled (special federal income tax definition); or o to pay for certain extraordinary medical expenses (special federal income tax definition); or o to pay medical insurance premiums for unemployed individuals (special federal income tax definition); or o to pay certain first-time home buyer expenses (special federal income tax definition -- there is a $10,000 lifetime total limit for these distributions from all your traditional and Roth IRAs); or o to pay certain higher education expenses (special federal income tax definition; or o in the form of substantially equal periodic payments made at least annually over your life (or your life expectancy), or over the joint lives of you and your beneficiary (or your joint life expectancy) using an IRS-approved distribution method. ROTH INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES ("ROTH IRAS") This section of the prospectus covers some of the special tax rules that apply to Roth IRAs. If the rules are the same as those that apply to the traditional IRA, we will refer you to the same topic under "Traditional IRAs." The EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) Roth IRA contracts are designed to qualify as Roth individual retirement annuities under Sections 408A(b) and 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. CONTRIBUTIONS TO ROTH IRAS Individuals may make four different types of contributions to a Roth IRA: o regular after-tax contributions out of earnings; or o taxable rollover contributions from traditional IRAs or other eligible retirement plans ("conversion" rollover contributions); or o tax-free rollover contributions from other Roth individual retirement arrangements (or designated Roth accounts under defined contribution plans); or o tax-free direct custodian-to-custodian transfers from other Roth IRAs ("direct transfers"). If you use the forms we require, we will also accept traditional IRA funds which are subsequently recharacterized as Roth IRA funds following special federal income tax rules. REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO ROTH IRAS LIMITS ON REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS. The "maximum regular contribution amount" for any taxable year is the most that can be contributed to all of your IRAs (traditional and Roth) as regular contributions for the particular taxable year. The maximum regular contribution amount depends on age, earnings, and year, among other things. Generally, $5,000 is the maximum amount that you may contribute to all IRAs (including Roth IRAs). This limit does not apply to rollover contributions or direct custodian-to-custodian transfers into a Roth IRA. Any contributions to Roth IRAs reduce the ability to contribute to traditional IRAs and vice versa. When your earnings are below $5,000, your earned income or compensation for the year is the most you can contribute. If you are married and file a joint income tax return, you and your spouse may combine your compensation to determine the amount of regular contributions you are permitted to make to Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs. See the discussion above under "Special rules for spouses" earlier in this section under traditional IRAs. If you or your spouse are at least age 50 at any time during the taxable year for which you are making a regular contribution you may be eligible to make additional catch-up contributions of up to $1,000. With a Roth IRA, you can make regular contributions when you reach age 70-1/2, as long as you have sufficient earnings. But, you cannot make contributions, regardless of your age, for any year that your modified adjusted gross income exceeds the following amounts (indexed for cost of living adjustment): o your federal income tax filing status is "married filing jointly" and your modified adjusted gross income is over $160,000 (for 2009, $176,000 after adjustment); or, o your federal income tax filing status is "single" and your modified adjusted gross income is over $110,000 (for 2009, $120,000 after adjustment). However, you can make regular Roth IRA contributions in reduced amounts when: o your federal income tax filing status is "married filing jointly" and your modified adjusted gross income is between $150,000 and $160,000 (for 2009, between $166,000 and $176,000 after adjustment); or o your federal income tax filing status is "single" and your modified adjusted gross income is between $95,000 and $110,000 (for 2009, between $105,000 and $120,000 after adjustment). If you are married and filing separately and your modified adjusted gross income is between $0 and $10,000 the amount of regular contribution you are permitted to make is phased out. If your modified adjusted gross income is more than $10,000 you cannot make a regular Roth IRA contribution. WHEN YOU CAN MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS? Same as traditional IRAs. DEDUCTIBILITY OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Roth IRA contributions are not tax deductible. ROLLOVERS AND DIRECT TRANSFERS WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROLLOVER AND DIRECT TRANSFER TRANSACTIONS? The difference between a rollover transaction and a direct transfer transaction is the following: in a rollover transaction you actually take possession of the funds rolled over, or are considered to have received them under tax law in the case of a change from one type of plan to another. In a direct transfer transaction, you never take possession of the funds, but direct the first Roth IRA custodian, trustee, or issuer to transfer the first Roth IRA funds directly to the recipient Roth IRA custodian, trustee or issuer. You can make direct transfer transactions only between identical plan types (for example, Roth IRA to Roth IRA). You can also make rollover transactions between identi- Tax information 51 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green cal plan types. However, you can only make rollovers between different plan types (for example, traditional IRA to Roth IRA). You may make rollover contributions to a Roth IRA from these sources only: o another Roth IRA; o a traditional IRA, including a SEP-IRA or SIMPLE IRA (after a two-year rollover limitation period for SIMPLE IRA funds), in a taxable conversion rollover ("conversion rollover"); o a "designated Roth contribution account" under a 401(k) plan or a 403(b) plan (direct or 60-day); or o from non-Roth accounts under another eligible retirement plan subject to limits specified below under "Conversion rollover contributions to Roth IRAs." You may make direct transfer contributions to a Roth IRA only from another Roth IRA. You may make both Roth IRA to Roth IRA rollover transactions and Roth IRA to Roth IRA direct transfer transactions. This can be accomplished on a completely tax-free basis. However, you may make Roth IRA to Roth IRA rollover transactions only once in any 12-month period for the same funds. Trustee-to-trustee or custodian-to-custodian direct transfers can be made more frequently than once a year. Also, if you send us the rollover contribution to apply it to a Roth IRA, you must do so within 60 days after you receive the proceeds from the original IRA to get rollover treatment. The surviving spouse beneficiary of a deceased individual can roll over or directly transfer an inherited Roth IRA to one or more other Roth IRAs. In some cases, Roth IRAs can be transferred on a tax-free basis between spouses or former spouses as a result of a court ordered divorce or separation decree. CONVERSION ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS TO ROTH IRAS In a conversion rollover transaction, you withdraw (or are considered to have withdrawn) all or a portion of funds from a traditional IRA you maintain and convert it to a Roth IRA within 60 days after you receive (or are considered to have received) the traditional IRA proceeds. Amounts can also be rolled over from non-Roth accounts under another eligible retirement plan, including a Code Section 401(a) qualified plan, a 403(b) plan, and a governmental employer Section 457(b) plan. Until 2010, you must meet AGI limits specified below. Unlike a rollover from a traditional IRA to another traditional IRA, a conversion rollover transaction from a traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan to a Roth IRA is not tax-free. Instead, the distribution from the traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan is generally fully taxable. In the case of a traditional IRA conversion rollover for example, we are required to withhold 10% federal income tax from the amount treated as converted unless you properly elect out of such withholding. If you are converting all or part of a traditional IRA, and you have ever made nondeductible regular contributions to any traditional IRA -- whether or not it is the traditional IRA you are converting -- a pro rata portion of the distribution is tax free. Even if you are under age 59-1/2, the early distribution penalty tax does not apply to conversion rollover contributions to a Roth IRA. The following rules apply until 2010: You cannot make conversion rollover contributions to a Roth IRA for any taxable year in which your modified adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000. (For this purpose, your modified adjusted gross income is computed without the gross income stemming from the conversion rollover. Modified adjusted gross income for this purpose excludes any lifetime required minimum distribution from a traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan.) You also cannot make conversion contributions to a Roth IRA for any taxable year in which your federal income tax filing status is "married filing separately." You cannot make conversion contributions to a Roth IRA to the extent that the funds in your traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan are subject to the lifetime annual required minimum distribution rules. You cannot convert and reconvert an amount during the same taxable year, or if later, during the 30-day period following a recharacterization. If you reconvert during either of these periods, it will be a failed Roth IRA conversion. The IRS and Treasury have issued Treasury Regulations addressing the valuation of annuity contracts funding traditional IRAs in the conversion to Roth IRAs. Although these Regulations are not clear, they could require an individual's gross income on the conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA to be measured using various actuarial methods and not as if the annuity contract funding the traditional IRA had been surrendered at the time of conversion. This could increase the amount reported as includible in certain circumstances. RECHARACTERIZATIONS You may be able to treat a contribution made to one type of IRA as having been made to a different type of IRA. This is called recharacterizing the contribution. HOW TO RECHARACTERIZE. To recharacterize a contribution, you generally must have the contribution transferred from the first IRA (the one to which it was made) to the second IRA in a deemed trustee-to-trustee transfer. If the transfer is made by the due date (including extensions) for your tax return for the year during which the contribution was made, you can elect to treat the contribution as having been originally made to the second IRA instead of to the first IRA. It will be treated as having been made to the second IRA on the same date that it was actually made to the first IRA. You must report the recharacterization, and must treat the contribution as having been made to the second IRA, instead of the first IRA, on your tax return for the year during which the contribution was made. The contribution will not be treated as having been made to the second IRA unless the transfer includes any net income allocable to the contribution. You can take into account any loss on the contribution while it was in the IRA when calculating the amount that must be transferred. If there was a loss, the net income you must transfer may be a negative amount. No deduction is allowed for the contribution to the first IRA and any net income transferred with the recharacterized contribution is treated as earned in the second IRA. The contribution will not be treated as having been made to the second IRA to the extent any deduction was allowed with respect to the contribution to the first IRA. 52 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green For recharacterization purposes, a distribution from a traditional IRA that is received in one tax year and rolled over into a Roth IRA in the next year, but still within 60 days of the distribution from the traditional IRA, is treated as a contribution to the Roth IRA in the year of the distribution from the traditional IRA. Roth IRA conversion contributions from a SEP-IRA or SIMPLE IRA can be recharacterized to a SEP-IRA or SIMPLE IRA (including the original SEP-IRA or SIMPLE IRA). You cannot recharacterize back to the original plan a contribution directly rolled over from an eligible retirement plan that is not a traditional IRA. To recharacterize a contribution you must use our forms. The recharacterization of a contribution is not treated as a rollover for purposes of the 12 month limitation period described above. This rule applies even if the contribution would have been treated as a rollover contribution by the second IRA if it had been made directly to the second IRA rather than as a result of a recharacterization of a contribution to the first IRA. WITHDRAWALS, PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS OF FUNDS OUT OF ROTH IRAS NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW RESTRICTIONS ON WITHDRAWALS. You can withdraw any or all of your funds from a Roth IRA at any time; you do not need to wait for a special event like retirement. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ROTH IRAS Distributions include withdrawals from your contract, surrender and termination of your contract and annuity payments from your contract. Death benefits are also distributions. You must keep your own records of regular and conversion contributions to all Roth IRAs to assure appropriate taxation. You may have to file information on your contributions to and distributions from any Roth IRA on your tax return. You may have to retain all income tax returns and records pertaining to such contributions and distributions until your interests in all Roth IRAs are distributed. Like traditional IRAs, taxable distributions from a Roth IRA are not entitled to the special favorable ten-year averaging and long-term capital gain treatment available in limited cases to certain distributions from qualified plans. The following distributions from Roth IRAs are free of income tax: o Rollovers from a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA; o Direct transfers from a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA; o "Qualified distributions" from Roth IRAs; and o return of excess contributions or amounts recharacterized to a traditional IRA. QUALIFIED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ROTH IRAS Qualified distributions from Roth IRAs made because of one of the following four qualifying events or reasons are not includable in income: o you are age 59-1/2 or older; or o you die; or o you become disabled (special federal income tax definition); or o your distribution is a "qualified first-time homebuyer distribution" (special federal income tax definition -- there is a $10,000 lifetime total limit for these distributions from all your traditional and Roth IRAs). You also have to meet a five-year aging period. A qualified distribution is any distribution made after the five-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year for which you made any contribution to any Roth IRA (whether or not the one from which the distribution is being made). NONQUALIFIED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ROTH IRAS. Nonqualified distributions from Roth IRAs are distributions that do not meet both the qualifying event and five-year aging period tests described above. If you receive such a distribution, part of it may be taxable. For purposes of determining the correct tax treatment of distributions (other than the withdrawal of excess contributions and the earnings on them), there is a set order in which contributions (including conversion contributions) and earnings are considered to be distributed from your Roth IRA. The order of distributions is as follows: (1) Regular contributions. (2) Conversion contributions, on a first-in-first-out basis (generally, total conversions from the earliest year first). These conversion contributions are taken into account as follows: (a) Taxable portion (the amount required to be included in gross income because of conversion) first, and then the (b) Nontaxable portion. (3) Earnings on contributions. Rollover contributions from other Roth IRAs are disregarded for this purpose. Presumably rollover contributions from a "designated Roth contribution account" under a 401(k) plan or a 403(b) arrangement will also be disregarded. To determine the taxable amounts distributed, distributions and contributions are aggregated or grouped and added together as follows: (1) All distributions made during the year from all Roth IRAs you maintain -- within any custodian or issuer -- are added together. (2) All regular contributions made during and for the year (contributions made after the close of the year, but before the due date of your return) are added together. This total is added to the total undistributed regular contributions made in prior years. (3) All conversion contributions made during the year are added together. For purposes of the ordering rules, in the case of any conversion in which the conversion distribution is made in 2009 and the conversion contribution is made in 2010, the conversion contribution is treated as contributed prior to other conversion contributions made in 2010. Tax information 53 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Any recharacterized contributions that end up in a Roth IRA are added to the appropriate contribution group for the year that the original contribution would have been taken into account if it had been made directly to the Roth IRA. Any recharacterized contribution that ends up in an IRA other than a Roth IRA is disregarded for the purpose of grouping both contributions and distributions. Any amount withdrawn to correct an excess contribution (including the earnings withdrawn) is also disregarded for this purpose. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS DURING LIFE Lifetime minimum distribution requirements do not apply. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS AT DEATH Same as traditional IRA under "What are the required minimum distribution payments after you die?", assuming death before the Required Beginning Date. The suspension of account-based required minimum distribution withdrawals for calendar year 2009 applies to post-death required minimum distribution withdrawals from Roth IRAs. PAYMENTS TO A BENEFICIARY AFTER YOUR DEATH Distributions to a beneficiary generally receive the same tax treatment as if the distribution had been made to you. BORROWING AND LOANS ARE PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS Same as traditional IRA. EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS Generally the same as traditional IRA, except that regular contributions made after age 70-1/2 are not "excess contributions." Excess rollover contributions to Roth IRAs are contributions not eligible to be rolled over (for example, conversion contributions from a traditional IRA if your modified adjusted gross income is in excess of $100,000 in the conversion year). You can withdraw or recharacterize any contribution to a Roth IRA before the due date (including extensions) for filing your federal income tax return for the tax year. If you do this, you must also withdraw or recharacterize any earnings attributable to the contribution. EARLY DISTRIBUTION PENALTY TAX Same as traditional IRA. FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING We must withhold federal income tax from distributions from annuity contracts. You may be able to elect out of this income tax withholding in some cases. Generally, we do not have to withhold if your distributions are not taxable. The rate of withholding will depend on the type of distribution and, in certain cases, the amount of your distribution. Any income tax withheld is a credit against your income tax liability. If you do not have sufficient income tax withheld or do not make sufficient estimated income tax payments, you may incur penalties under the estimated income tax rules. You must file your request not to withhold in writing before the payment or distribution is made. Our processing office will provide forms for this purpose. You cannot elect out of withholding unless you provide us with your correct Taxpayer Identification Number and a United States residence address. You cannot elect out of withholding if we are sending the payment out of the United States. You should note the following special situations: o we might have to withhold and/or report on amounts we pay under a free look or cancellation. o we are generally required to withhold on conversion rollovers of traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs, as it is considered a withdrawal from the traditional IRA and is taxable. o we are required to withhold on the gross amount of a distribution from a Roth IRA to the extent it is reasonable for us to believe that a distribution is includable in your gross income. This may result in tax being withheld even though the Roth IRA distribution is ultimately not taxable. You can elect out of withholding as described below. Special withholding rules apply to foreign recipients and United States citizens residing outside the United States. We do not discuss these rules here in detail. However, we may require additional documentation in the case of payments made to non-United States persons and United States persons living abroad prior to processing any requested transaction. Certain states have indicated that state income tax withholding will also apply to payments from the contracts made to residents. In some states, you may elect out of state withholding, even if federal withholding applies. Generally, an election out of federal withholding will also be considered an election out of state withholding. If you need more information concerning a particular state or any required forms, call our processing office at the toll-free number. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING ON PERIODIC ANNUITY PAYMENTS We withhold differently on "periodic" and "non-periodic" payments. For a periodic annuity payment, for example, unless you specify a different number of withholding exemptions, we withhold assuming that you are married and claiming three withholding exemptions. If you do not give us your correct Taxpayer Identification Number, we withhold as if you are single with no exemptions. Based on the assumption that you are married and claiming three withholding exemptions, if you receive less than $19,200 in periodic annuity payments in 2009 your payments will generally be exempt from federal income tax withholding. You could specify a different choice of withholding exemption or request that tax be withheld. Your 54 Tax information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green withholding election remains effective unless and until you revoke it. You may revoke or change your withholding election at any time. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING ON NON-PERIODIC ANNUITY PAYMENTS (WITHDRAWALS) For a non-periodic distribution (total surrender, termination, or partial withdrawal), we generally withhold at a flat 10% rate. We apply that rate to the taxable amount in the case of nonqualified contracts, and to the payment amount in the case of traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, where it is reasonable to assume an amount is includable in gross income. IMPACT OF TAXES TO AXA EQUITABLE The contracts provide that we may charge Separate Account A for taxes. We do not now, but may in the future set up reserves for such taxes. Tax information 55 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green 8. More information -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT OUR SEPARATE ACCOUNT A Each variable investment option is a subaccount of our Separate Account A. We established Separate Account A in 1968 under special provisions of the New York Insurance Law. These provisions prevent creditors from any other business we conduct from reaching the assets we hold in our variable investment options for owners of our variable annuity contracts. We are the legal owner of all of the assets in Separate Account A and may withdraw any amounts that exceed our reserves and other liabilities with respect to variable investment options under our contracts. For example, we may withdraw amounts from Separate Account A that represent our investments in Separate Account A or that represent fees and charges under the contracts that we have earned. Also, we may, at our sole discretion, invest Separate Account assets in any investment permitted by applicable law. The results of Separate Account A's operations are accounted for without regard to AXA Equitable's other operations. The amount of some of our obligations under the contracts is based on the assets in Separate Account A. However, the obligations themselves are obligations of AXA Equitable. Separate Account A is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is registered and classified under that act as a "unit investment trust." The SEC, however, does not manage or supervise AXA Equitable or Separate Account A. Although Separate Account A is registered, the SEC does not monitor the activity of Separate Account A on a daily basis. AXA Equitable is not required to register, and is not registered, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each subaccount (variable investment option) within Separate Account A that is available under the contract invests solely in Class IB/B shares issued by the corresponding portfolio of its Trust. We reserve the right subject to compliance with laws that apply: (1) to add variable investment options to, or to remove variable investment options from, Separate Account A, or to add other separate accounts; (2) to combine any two or more variable investment options; (3) to limit the number of variable investment options which you may elect; (4) to transfer the assets we determine to be the shares of the class of contracts to which the contracts belong from any variable investment option to another variable investment option; (5) to operate Separate Account A or any variable investment option as a management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (in which case, charges and expenses that otherwise would be assessed against an underlying mutual fund would be assessed against Separate Account A or a variable investment option directly); (6) to deregister Separate Account A under the Investment Company Act of 1940; (7) to restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to Separate Account A; and (8) to cause one or more variable investment options to invest some or all of their assets in one or more other trusts or investment companies. If the exercise of these rights results in a material change in the underlying investment of the Separate Account, you will be notified of such exercise, as required by law. ABOUT THE TRUSTS The Trusts are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. They are classified as "open-end management investment companies," more commonly called mutual funds. Each Trust issues different shares relating to each of its portfolios. The Trusts do not impose sales charges or "loads" for buying and selling their shares. All dividends and other distributions on the Trusts' shares are reinvested in full. The Board of Trustees or Board of Directors, as applicable, of each Trust may establish additional portfolios or eliminate existing portfolios at any time. More detailed information about each Trust, its portfolio investment objectives, policies, restrictions, risks, expenses, its Rule 12b-1 Plan relating to its Class IB/B shares, and other aspects of its operations, appears in the prospectuses for each Trust, which generally accompany this prospectus, or in their respective SAIs, which are available upon request. ABOUT THE GENERAL ACCOUNT Our general obligations and any guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by AXA Equitable's general account and are subject to AXA Equitable's claims paying ability. For more information about AXA Equitable's financial strength, you may review its financial statements and/or check its current rating with one or more of the independent sources that rate insurance companies for their financial strength and stability. Such ratings are subject to change and have no bearing on the performance of the variable investment options. You may also speak with your financial representative. The general account is subject to regulation and supervision by the Insurance Department of the State of New York and to the insurance laws and regulations of all jurisdictions where we are authorized to do business. Interests under the contracts in the general account have not been registered and are not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because of exemptions and exclusionary provisions that apply. The general account is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and it is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The contract is a "covered security" under federal securities laws. 56 More information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green We have been advised that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the portions of this prospectus that relate to the general account. The disclosure with regard to the general account, however, may be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. ABOUT OTHER METHODS OF PAYMENT AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM -- FOR NQ, TRADITIONAL IRA, AND ROTH IRA CONTRACTS You may use our automatic investment program, or "AIP," to have a specified amount automatically deducted from a bank checking or savings account, money market checking or savings account, or credit union checking or savings account and contributed as an additional contribution into an NQ, traditional IRA, or Roth IRA contract on a monthly basis. Contributions to all forms of IRAs are subject to the limitations and requirements discussed in "Tax information" earlier in this prospectus. AIP additional contributions may be allocated to any of the variable investment options. Our minimum contribution amount requirement is $20. You choose the day of the month you wish to have your account debited. However, you may not choose a date later than the 28th day of the month. You may cancel AIP at any time by notifying our processing office. We are not responsible for any debits made to your account before the time written notice of cancellation is received at our processing office. PAYROLL DEDUCTION PROGRAM. You can authorize your employer to remit your NQ, traditional IRA and Roth IRA contributions to us if your employer has a payroll deduction program. Those contributions are still your contributions, not your employer's. WIRE TRANSFERS. You may also send your contributions by wire transfer from your bank. DATES AND PRICES AT WHICH CONTRACT EVENTS OCCUR We describe below the general rules for when, and at what prices, events under your contract will occur. Other portions of this prospectus describe circumstances that may cause exceptions. We generally do not repeat those exceptions below. BUSINESS DAY Our "business day" is generally any day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for regular trading and generally ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or as of an earlier close of regular trading). A business day does not include a day on which we are not open due to emergency conditions determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may also close early due to such emergency conditions. Contributions will be applied and any other transaction requests will be processed when they are received along with all the required information unless another date applies as indicated below. o If your contribution, transfer or any other transaction request containing all the required information reaches us on any of the following, we will use the next business day: - on a non-business day: - after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day; or - after an early close of regular trading on the NYSE on a business day. CONTRIBUTIONS, TRANSFERS, WITHDRAWALS AND SURRENDERS o Contributions allocated to the variable investment options are invested at the unit value next determined after the receipt of the contribution. o Transfers to or from variable investment options will be made at the unit value next determined after the receipt of the transfer request. o For general dollar-cost averaging, the first monthly transfer will occur on the last business day of the month in which we receive your election form at our processing office. o Quarterly rebalancing will be processed on a calendar year basis. Semiannual or annual rebalancing will be processed on the first business day of the month. Rebalancing will not be done retroactively. o Requests for withdrawals or surrenders will occur on the business day that we receive the information that we require. ABOUT YOUR VOTING RIGHTS As the owner of shares of the Trusts we have the right to vote on certain matters involving the portfolios, such as: o the election of trustees; o the formal approval of independent auditors selected for each Trust; or o any other matters described in the prospectus for each Trust or requiring a shareholders' vote under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We will give contract owners the opportunity to instruct us how to vote the number of shares attributable to their contracts if a shareholder vote is taken. If we do not receive instructions in time from all contract owners, we will vote the shares of a portfolio for which no instructions have been received in the same proportion as we vote shares of that portfolio for which we have received instructions. We will also vote any shares that we are entitled to vote directly because of amounts we have in a portfolio in the same proportions that contract owners vote. The Trusts sell their shares to AXA Equitable separate accounts in connection with AXA Equitable's variable annuity and/or life insurance products, and to separate accounts of insurance companies, both affiliated and unaffiliated with AXA Equitable. AXA Premier VIP Trust and EQ Advisors Trust also sell their shares to the trustee of a qualified plan for AXA Equitable. We currently do not foresee any disadvantages to our contract owners arising out of these arrangements. However, the Board of Trustees or Directors of each Trust intend to monitor events to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response. If we believe that a Board's response insufficiently protects our contract owners, we will see to it that appropriate action is taken to do so. More information 57 To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green SEPARATE ACCOUNT A VOTING RIGHTS If actions relating to Separate Account A require contract owner approval, contract owners will be entitled to one vote for each unit they have in the variable investment options. Each contract owner who has elected a variable annuity payout option may cast the number of votes equal to the dollar amount of reserves we are holding for that annuity in a variable investment option divided by the annuity unit value for that option. We will cast votes attributable to any amounts we have in the variable investment options in the same proportion as votes cast by contract owners. CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAW The voting rights we describe in this prospectus are created under applicable federal securities laws. To the extent that those laws or the regulations published under those laws eliminate the necessity to submit matters for approval by persons having voting rights in separate accounts of insurance companies, we reserve the right to proceed in accordance with those laws or regulations. STATUTORY COMPLIANCE We have the right to change your contract without the consent of any other person in order to comply with any laws and regulations that apply, including but not limited to changes in the Internal Revenue Code, in Treasury Regulations or in published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service and in Department of Labor regulations. Any change in your contract must be in writing and made by an authorized officer of AXA Equitable. We will provide notice of any contract change. The benefits under your Contract will not be less than the minimum benefits required by any state law that applies. ABOUT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AXA Equitable and its affiliates are parties to various legal proceedings. In our view, none of these proceedings would be considered material with respect to a contract owner's interest in Separate Account A, nor would any of these proceedings be likely to have a material adverse effect upon Separate Account A, our ability to meet our obligations under the contracts, or the distribution of the contracts. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of Separate Account A, as well as the consolidated financial statements of AXA Equitable, are in the SAI. The financial statements of AXA Equitable have relevance to the contracts only to the extent that they bear upon the ability of AXA Equitable to meet its obligations under the contracts. The SAI is available free of charge. You may request one by writing to our processing office or calling (800) 628-6673. TRANSFERS OF OWNERSHIP, COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENTS, LOANS, AND BORROWING You can transfer ownership of an NQ contract at any time before annuity payments begin. We will continue to treat you as the owner until we receive written notification of any change at our processing office. In some cases, an assignment or change of ownership may have adverse tax consequences. See "Tax information" earlier in this prospectus. You cannot assign or transfer ownership of a traditional IRA or Roth IRA contract except by surrender to us. You cannot assign your contract as collateral or security for a loan. Loans are also not available under your contract. For limited transfers of ownership after the owner's death see "Beneficiary continuation option" in "Payment of death benefit" earlier in this prospectus. You may direct the transfer of the values under your traditional IRA or Roth IRA contract to another similar arrangement under federal income tax rules. In the case of such a transfer, which involves a surrender of your contract, we will impose a withdrawal charge if one applies. DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS The contracts are distributed by AXA Advisors, LLC ("AXA Advisors"). AXA Advisors serves as a principal underwriter of Separate Account A. The offering of the contracts is intended to be continuous. AXA Advisors is an affiliate of AXA Equitable and is under the common control of AXA Financial, Inc. Its principal business address is 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10104. AXA Advisors is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). AXA Advisors also acts as distributor for other AXA Equitable life and annuity products. The contracts are sold by financial professionals of AXA Advisors and its affiliates. The contracts are also sold by financial professionals of both affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with AXA Advisors ("Selling broker-dealers"). AXA Equitable pays compensation to AXA Advisors based on contracts sold. Compensation paid to AXA Advisors is based on contributions made on the contracts sold through AXA Advisors ("contribution-based compensation") and will generally not exceed 8.5% of total contributions. AXA Advisors, in turn, may pay a portion of the contribution-based compensation received from AXA Equitable on the sale of a contract to the AXA Advisors financial professional and/or Selling broker-dealer making the sale. In some instances, a financial professional or Selling broker-dealer may elect to receive reduced contribution-based compensation on a contract in combination with ongoing annual compensation of up to 0.60% of the account value of the contract sold ("asset-based compensation"). Total compensation paid to a financial professional or a Selling broker-dealer electing to receive both contribution-based and asset-based compensation could over time exceed the total compensation that would otherwise be paid on the basis of contributions alone. The contribution-based and asset-based compensation paid by AXA Advisors varies among financial professionals and among Selling broker-dealers. AXA Advisors may pay certain affiliated and/or unaffiliated Selling broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries additional compensation in recognition of certain expenses that may be incurred by them or on their behalf. AXA Advisors may also pay certain broker-dealers or 58 More information To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green other financial intermediaries additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as "marketing allowances"). Services for which such payments are made may include, but are not limited to, the preferred placement of AXA Equitable and/or EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) on a company and/or product list; sales personnel training; product training; business reporting; technological support; due diligence and related costs; advertising, marketing and related services; conferences; and/or other support services, including some that may benefit the contract owner. Payments may be based on the amount of assets or purchase payments attributable to contracts sold through a Selling broker-dealer or such payments may be a fixed amount. AXA Advisors may also make fixed payments to Selling broker-dealers in connection with the initiation of a new relationship or the introduction of a new product. These payments may serve as an incentive for Selling broker-dealers to promote the sale of particular products. Additionally, as an incentive for financial professionals of Selling broker-dealers to promote the sale of AXA Equitable products, AXA Advisors may increase the sales compensation paid to the Selling broker-dealer for a period of time (commonly referred to as "compensation enhancements"). Marketing allowances and sales incentives are made out of AXA Advisors' assets. Not all Selling broker-dealers receive these kinds of payments. For more information about any such arrangements, ask your financial professional. AXA Advisors receives 12b-1 fees from certain portfolios for providing certain distribution and/or shareholder support services. AXA Advisors or its affiliates may also receive payments from the advisers of the portfolios or their affiliates to help defray expenses for sales meetings or seminar sponsorships that may relate to the contracts and/or the advisers' respective portfolios. In an effort to promote the sale of our products, AXA Advisors may provide its financial professionals and managerial personnel with a higher percentage of sales commissions and/or cash compensation for the sale of an affiliated variable product than it would the sale of an unaffiliated product. Such practice is known as providing "differential compensation." In addition, managerial personnel may receive expense reimbursements, marketing allowances and commission-based payments known as "overrides." Certain components of the compensation of financial professionals who are managers are based on the sale of affiliated variable products. Managers earn higher compensation (and credits toward awards and bonuses) if those they manage sell more affiliated variable products. AXA Advisors may provide other forms of compensation to its financial professionals, including health and retirement benefits. For tax reasons, AXA Advisors financial professionals qualify for health and retirement benefits based solely on their sales of our affiliated products. These payments and differential compensation (together, the "payments") can vary in amount based on the applicable product and/or entity or individual involved. As with any incentive, such payments may cause the financial professional to show preference in recommending the purchase or sale of AXA Equitable products. However, under applicable rules of the FINRA, AXA Advisors may only recommend to you products that they reasonably believe are suitable for you based on facts that you have disclosed as to your other security holdings, financial situation and needs. In making any recommendation, financial professionals of AXA Advisors may nonetheless face conflicts of interest because of the differences in compensation from one product category to another, and because of differences in compensation between products in the same category. In addition, AXA Advisors may offer sales incentive programs to financial professionals who meet specified production levels for the sale of both affiliated and unaffiliated products which provide non-cash compensation such as stock options awards and/or stock appreciation rights, expense-paid trips, expense-paid educational seminars and merchandise. Although AXA Equitable takes all of its costs into account in establishing the level of fees and expenses in its products, any contribution-based and asset-based compensation paid by AXA Equitable to AXA Advisors will not result in any separate charge to you under your contract. All payments made will be in compliance with all applicable FINRA rules and other laws and regulations.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ State Features and Benefits Availability or Variation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PUERTO RICO Tax information -- Special rules for NQ contracts Income from NQ contracts we issue is U.S. (CONTINUED) source. A Puerto Rico resident is subject to U.S. taxation on such U.S. source income. Only Puerto Rico source income of Puerto Rico resi- dents is excludable from U.S. taxation. Income from NQ contracts is also subject to Puerto Rico tax. The calculation of the taxable portion of amounts distributed from a con- tract may differ in the two jurisdictions. Therefore, you might have to file both U.S. and Puerto Rico tax returns, showing different amounts of income from the contract for each tax return. Puerto Rico generally provides a credit against Puerto Rico tax for U.S. tax paid. Depending on your per- sonal situation and the timing of the different tax liabilities, you may not be able to take full advantage of this credit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II-2 Appendix II: State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits To receive this document electronically, sign up for e-delivery today at www.axa-equitable.com/green Appendix III: Hypothetical Illustrations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ILLUSTRATION OF ACCOUNT VALUES, CASH VALUES AND DEATH The following tables illustrate the changes in account value, cash value and the values of the death benefit under certain hypothetical circumstances for an EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract. The table illustrates the operation of a contract based on a male, issue age 60, who makes a single $100,000 contribution and takes no withdrawals. The amounts shown are for the beginning of each contract year and assume that all of the account value is invested in portfolios that achieve investment returns at constant gross annual rates of 0% and 6% (i.e., before any investment management fees, 12b-1 fees or other expenses are deducted from the underlying portfolio assets). After the deduction of the arithmetic average of the investment management fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses of all of the underlying portfolios (as described below), the corresponding net annual rates of return would be -2.30%, 3.70% for the EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract, at the 0% and 6% gross annual rates, respectively. These net annual rates of return reflect the trust and separate account level charges, but they do not reflect the charges we deduct from your account value annually for the annual administrative charge. If the net annual rates of return did reflect these charges, the net annual rates of return shown would be lower; however, the values shown in the following tables reflect any applicable administrative charge and withdrawal charge. With respect to fees and expenses deducted from assets of the underlying portfolios, the amounts shown in all tables reflect (1) investment management fees equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.58%, and (2) an assumed average asset charge for all other expenses of the underlying portfolios equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.37% and (3) 12b-1 fees equivalent to an effective annual rate of 0.25%. These rates are the arithmetic average for all portfolios that are available as investment options. In other words, they are based on the hypothetical assumption that account values are allocated equally among the variable investment options. The actual rates associated with any contract will vary depending upon the actual allocation of contract values among the investment options. These rates do not reflect expense limitation arrangements in effect with respect to certain of the underlying portfolios as described in the footnotes to the fee table for the underlying portfolios in "Fee table" earlier in this prospectus. With these arrangements, the charges shown above would be lower. This would result in higher values than those shown in the following tables. Because your circumstances will no doubt differ from those in the illustrations that follow, values under your contract will differ, in most cases substantially. Upon request, we will furnish you with a personalized illustration.

The hypothetical investment results are illustrative only and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown and will depend on a number of factors, including investment allocations made by the owner. The account value, cash value and guaranteed benefits for a policy would be different from the ones shown if the actual gross rate of investment return averaged 0% or 6% over a period of years, but also fluctuated above or below the average for individual policy years. We can make no representation that these hypothetical investment results can be achieved for any one year or continued over any period of time. In fact, for any given period of time, the investment results could be negative.

CALCULATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS The calculation of monthly annuity payments under a contract takes into account the number of annuity units of each variable investment option credited under a contract, their respective annuity unit values and a net investment factor. The annuity unit values used for EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) may vary, although the method of calculating annuity unit values set forth below applies to all contracts. Annuity unit values will also vary by variable investment option. For each valuation period, the adjusted net investment factor is equal to the net investment factor for the variable investment option reduced for each day in the valuation period by: o .00013366 of the net investment factor for a contract with an assumed base rate of net investment return of 5% a year; or o .00009425 of the net investment factor for a contract with an assumed base rate of net investment return of 31/2%. Because of this adjustment, the annuity unit value rises and falls depending on whether the actual rate of net investment return (after charges) is higher or lower than the assumed base rate. The assumed base rate will be 5%, except in states where that rate is not permitted. Annuity payments based upon an assumed base rate of 31/2% will at first be smaller than those based upon a 5% assumed base rate. Payments based upon a 31/2% rate, however, will rise more rapidly when unit values are rising, and payments will fall more slowly when unit values are falling than those based upon a 5% rate. The amounts of variable annuity payments are determined as follows: Payments normally start on the business day specified on your election form, or on such other future date as specified therein. The first three monthly payments are the same. The initial payment will be calculated using the basis guaranteed in the applicable EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract or our current basis, whichever would provide the higher initial benefit. The first three payments depend on the assumed base rate of net investment return and the form of annuity chosen (and any fixed period). If the annuity involves a life contingency, the risk class and the age of the annuitants will affect payments. Payments after the first three will vary according to the investment performance of the variable investment option(s) selected to fund the variable payments. After that, each monthly payment will be calculated by multiplying the number of annuity units credited by the average annuity unit value for the selected option for the second calendar month immediately preceding the due date of the payment. The number of units is calculated by dividing the first monthly payment by the annuity unit value for the valuation period which includes the due date of the first monthly payment. The average annuity unit value is the average of the annuity unit values for the valuation periods ending in that month. Illustration of calculation of annuity payments To show how we determine variable annuity payments, assume that the account value for an EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) contract on a retirement date is enough to fund an annuity with a monthly payment of $100 and that the annuity unit value of the selected variable investment option for the valuation period that includes the due date of the first annuity payment is $3.74. The number of annuity units credited under the contract would be 26.74 (100 divided by 3.74 = 26.74). Based on a hypothetical average annuity unit value of $3.56 in October 2009, the annuity payment due in December 2009 would be $95.19 (the number of units (26.74) times $3.56). CUSTODIAN AND INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM AXA Equitable is the custodian for the shares of the Trusts owned by Separate Account A.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's address is 300 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017. DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS Pursuant to a Distribution and Servicing Agreement between AXA Advisors, AXA Equitable and certain of AXA Equitable's separate accounts, including Separate Account A, AXA Equitable paid AXA Advisors a fee of $325,380 for each of the years 2008, 2007 and 2006. AXA Equitable paid AXA Advisors, as distributor of certain contracts, including these contracts, and as the principal underwriter of several AXA Equitable separate accounts, including Separate Account A, $677,871,467 in 2008, $731,920,627 in 2007 and $672,531,658 in 2006. Of these amounts, for each of these three years, AXA Advisors retained $356,304,358, $386,036,299 and $339,484,801, respectively. CALCULATING UNIT VALUES Unit values are determined at the end of each "valuation period" for each of the variable investment options. A valuation period is each 2 business day together with any consecutive preceding non-business day. The unit values for EQUI-VEST(R) Express(SM) may vary. The method of calculating unit values is set forth below. The unit value for a variable investment option for any valuation period is equal to the unit value for the preceding valuation period multiplied by the "net investment factor" for the variable investment option for that valuation period. The net investment factor is: a (-) - c b where: (a) is the value of the variable investment option's shares of the cor responding portfolio at the end of the valuation period before giving effect to any amounts allocated to or withdrawn from the variable investment options for the valuation period. For this purpose, we use the share value reported to us by the applicable Trust. This share value is after deduction for investment advisory fees and direct expenses of such Trust. (b) is the value of the variable investment option's shares of the cor responding portfolio at the end of the preceding valuation period (after any amounts allocated or withdrawn for that valuation period). (c) is the daily Separate Account A asset charge for the expenses of the contracts times the number of calendar days in the valuation period, plus any charge for taxes or amounts set aside as a reserve for taxes.

These financial statements are the responsibility of AXA Equitable's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments at December 31, 2008 by correspondence with the underlying funds' transfer agents, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Organization AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (formerly The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States) ("AXA Equitable") Separate Account A ("the Account") is organized as a unit investment trust, a type of investment company, and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Account has Variable Investment Options, each of which invests in shares of a mutual fund portfolio of EQ Advisors Trust ("EQAT"), and AXA Premier VIP Trust ("VIP"), ("The Trusts"). The Trusts are open-ended diversified investment management companies that sell shares of a portfolio ("Portfolio") of a mutual fund to separate accounts of insurance companies. Each Portfolio of the Trusts has separate investment objectives. These financial statements and notes are those of the Variable Investment Options of the Account.

Organization (Concluded) (1) Formerly known as Market PLUS International Core. (2) Formerly known as Market PLUS Large Cap Core. (3) Formerly known as Market PLUS Large Cap Growth. (4) Formerly known as Market PLUS Mid Cap Value. (5) Formerly known as EQ/AllianceBernstein Value (6) Formerly known as EQ/FI Mid Cap (7) Formerly known as EQ/Legg Mason Value Equity (8) Formerly known as EQ/AllianceBernstein Large Cap Growth (9) Formerly known as EQ/AllianceBernstein Quality Bond Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from AXA Equitable's other assets and liabilities. All contracts are issued by AXA Equitable. The assets of the Account are the property of AXA Equitable. However, the portion of the Account's assets attributable to the Contracts will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business AXA Equitable may conduct. The Account is used to fund benefits for variable annuities issued by AXA Equitable including certain individual tax-favored variable annuity contracts (Old Contracts), individual non-qualified variable annuity contracts (EQUIPLAN Contracts), tax-favored and non-qualified certificates issued under group deferred variable annuity contracts and certain related individual contracts (EQUI-VEST Contracts), group deferred variable annuity contracts used to fund tax-qualified defined contribution plans (Momentum Contracts) and group variable annuity contracts used as a funding vehicle for employers who sponsor qualified defined contribution plans (Momentum Plus). All of these contracts and certificates are collectively referred to as the Contracts. The amount retained by AXA Equitable in the Account arises principally from (1) contributions from AXA Equitable, (2) mortality and expense risks, other expenses and financial accounting charges accumulated in the account, and (3) that portion, determined ratably, of the Account's investment results applicable to those assets in the Account in excess of the net assets, attributable to accumulation units. Amounts retained by AXA Equitable are not subject to mortality expense risk charges, other expenses and financial accounting charges. Amounts retained by AXA Equitable in the Account may be transferred at any time by AXA Equitable to its General Account. Each of the variable investment options of the Account bears indirectly exposure to the market, credit, and liquidity risks of the Portfolio in which it invests. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes of the Trusts, which were distributed by AXA Equitable to the contractowners. 2. Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Effective January 1, 2008, and as further described in Note 3 of the financial statements, AXA Equitable adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies only to fair measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards. Fair value is defined under SFAS No. 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no impact on the net assets of the Account. Investments are made in shares of The Trusts and are valued at the net asset values per share of the respective Portfolios. The net asset values are determined by The Trusts using the market or fair value of the underlying assets of the Portfolio less liabilities. Investment transactions are recorded by the Account on the trade date. Dividends and distributions of capital gains from The Trusts are automatically reinvested on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses include (1) gains and losses on redemptions of the Trusts' shares (determined on the identified cost basis) and (2) The Trusts' distributions representing the net realized gains on The Trusts' investment transactions. Receivable/payable for policy-related transactions represents amounts due to/from AXA Equitable's General Account predominantly related to premiums, surrenders and death benefits. FSA-74 AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT A Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2008 2. Significant Accounting Policies (Concluded) Payments received from contractowners represent participant contributions under EQUI-VEST Series 100 through 801, EQUI-VEST Vantage, EQUI-VEST Strategies, Momentum, Momentum Plus, EQUI-VEST At Retirement, CrossingsSM (but exclude amounts allocated to the guaranteed interest account, reflected in the General Account) and participant contributions under other Contracts (Old Contracts, EQUIPLAN) reduced by applicable deductions, charges and state premium taxes. Payments received from contractowners also include amounts applied to purchase contracts in payout (annuitization) period. Contractowners may allocate amounts in their individual accounts to Variable Investment Options, and/or to the guaranteed interest account, of AXA Equitable's General Account, and fixed maturity options of Separate Account No. 48. Transfers between funds including the guaranteed interest account, net, represents amounts that participants have directed to be moved among investment options, including permitted transfers to and from the guaranteed interest account and the fixed maturity option of Separate Account No. 48. The net assets of any Variable Investment Option may not be less than the aggregate value of the Contractowner accounts allocated to that Variable Investment Option. AXA Equitable is required by state insurance laws to set aside additional assets in AXA Equitable's General Account to provide for other policy benefits. AXA Equitable's General Account is subject to creditor rights. Transfers for contract benefits and terminations are payments to participants and beneficiaries made under the terms of the Contracts and amounts that participants have requested to be withdrawn and paid to them or applied to purchase annuities. Withdrawal charges, if applicable, are included in Transfers for contract benefits and terminations and represent deferred contingent withdrawal charges that apply to certain withdrawals under: o EQUI-VEST Series 100 through 801 o EQUI-VEST Vantage o EQUI-VEST Strategies o Momentum o Momentum Plus o Crossings(SM) Included in Contract maintenance charges are administrative charges, if applicable, that are deducted annually under: o EQUI-VEST Series 100 through 801 o EQUI-VEST Strategies o EQUIPLAN o Old Contracts Included in contract maintenance charges are administrative charges, if applicable, that are deducted quarterly under Momentum and Momentum Plus. Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout period are computed according to the 1983a Individual Annuitant Mortality Table for business issued in 1994 and later and according to the 1969 ELAS Mortality Table for business issued prior to 1994. The assumed investment return is 3% to 5%, as regulated by the laws of various states. The mortality risk is fully borne by AXA Equitable and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the variable annuity account by AXA Equitable to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the insurance company. The operations of the Account are included in the federal income tax return of AXA Equitable which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. No federal income tax based on net income or realized and unrealized capital gains is currently applicable to Contracts participating in the Account by reason of applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and no federal income tax payable by AXA Equitable is expected to affect the unit value of Contracts participating in the Account. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required. AXA Equitable retains the right to charge for any federal income tax which is attributable to the Account if the law is changed. 3. Fair Value Disclosures SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and identifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: FSA-75 AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT A Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2008 3. Fair Value Disclosures (Concluded) Level 1 Quotes prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 fair values generally are supported by market transactions that occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs to model-derived valuations that are not directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and often requiring significant judgment or estimation, such as an entity's own assumptions about the cash flows or other significant components of value that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. All investment and receivable assets of each Variable Investment Option of the Account are classified as Level 1. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Account invests in open-ended mutual funds, available to contractholders of variable insurance policies. Contractowners may, without restriction, transact at the daily Net Asset Value(s) ("NAV") of the mutual funds. The NAV represents the daily per share value of the portfolio of investments of the mutual funds, at which sufficient volumes of transactions occur. As all assets of the account are classified as Level 1, no reconciliation of Level 3 assets and change in unrealized gains (losses) for Level 3 assets still held as of December 31, 2008, are presented. 4.

5. Expenses and Related Party Transactions The assets in each Variable Investment Option are invested in shares of a corresponding mutual fund portfolio of The Trusts. Shares are offered by The Trusts at net asset value. Shares in which the Variable Investment Options are invested are in either one of two classes. Both classes are subject to fees for investment management and advisory services and other Trust expenses. One class of shares ("Class A shares") is not subject to distribution fees imposed pursuant to a distribution plan. The other class of shares ("Class B shares") is subject to FSA-77 AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT A Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2008 5. Expenses and Related Party Transactions (Concluded) distribution fees imposed under a distribution plan (herein, the "Rule 12b-1 Plans") adopted by the applicable Trust. The Rule 12b-1 Plans provide that The Trusts, on behalf of each variable portfolio, may charge annually a maximum annual distribution and/or service (12b-1) fee of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of a portfolio attributable to its Class B shares in respect of activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Class B shares. Under arrangements approved by each Trust's Board of Trustees, the 12b-1 fee currently is limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets. These fees are reflected in the net asset value of the shares of the Trusts and the total returns of the investment options, but are not included in the expenses or expense ratios of the investment options. AXA Equitable serves as investment manager of the Portfolios of EQAT and VIP. Each investment manager receives management fees for services performed in its capacity as investment manager of The Trusts. Investment managers either oversee the activities of the investment advisors with respect to The Trusts and are responsible for retaining and discontinuing the services of those advisors or directly manage the Portfolios. Fees generally vary depending on net asset levels of individual portfolios and range for EQAT and VIP from a low of 0.05% to a high of 1.40% of average daily net assets of the Portfolios of the Trust. AXA Equitable as investment manager of EQAT and VIP pays expenses for providing investment advisory services to the Portfolios, including the fees of the Advisors of each Portfolio. In addition, AXA Advisors, LLC ("AXA Advisors") an affiliate of AXA Equitable, may also receive distribution fees under Rule 12b-1 Plans as described above. AllianceBernstein L.P. (formerly Alliance Capital Management L.P. ("AllianceBernstein")) serves as an investment advisor for a number of Portfolios in EQAT and VIP including the EQ/AllianceBernstein Portfolios; EQ/Large Cap Growth Index, EQ/Equity 500 Index, and EQ/Small Company Index; as well as a portion of EQ/Large Cap Value PLUS, EQ/Quality Bond PLUS, Multimanager Aggressive Equity, Multimanager International Equity, Multimanager Large Cap Core Equity, Multimanager Large Cap Value, and Multimanager Mid Cap Growth. AllianceBernstein is a limited partnership which is indirectly majority-owned by AXA Equitable and AXA Financial, Inc. (parent to AXA Equitable). AXA Advisors is an affiliate of AXA Equitable, and a distributor and principal underwriter of the Account. AXA Advisors is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The Contracts are sold by financial professionals who are registered representatives of AXA Advisors and licensed insurance agents of AXA Network, LLC ("AXA Network") or its subsidiaries (affiliates of AXA Equitable) . AXA Network receives commissions under its General Sales Agreement with AXA Equitable and its Networking Agreement with AXA Advisors. AXA Advisors receives service-related payments under its Supervisory and Distribution Agreement with AXA Equitable. The financial professionals are compensated on a commission basis by AXA Network. 6.

The ratios included only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner account through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded. The summary may not reflect the minimum and maximum contract charges offered by the Company as contractowners may not have selected all available and applicable contract options. ** The Investment Income ratio represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Account from the underlying mutual fund, net of trust fees and expenses divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as asset-based charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Account invests. *** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

F-7 FS-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of earnings, of shareholder's equity and comprehensive income and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries ("AXA Equitable") at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of AXA Equitable's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, AXA Equitable adopted a framework for measuring fair value on January 1, 2008.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F-6 AXA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1) ORGANIZATION AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company ("AXA Equitable," and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries the "Company") is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. ("AXA Financial," and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "AXA Financial Group"). AXA Financial is a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA, a French holding company for an international group of insurance and related financial services companies. The Company conducts operations in two business segments: the Insurance and Investment Management segments. The Company's management evaluates the performance of each of these segments independently and allocates resources based on current and future requirements of each segment. Insurance --------- The Insurance segment offers a variety of traditional, variable and interest-sensitive life insurance products, variable and fixed-interest annuity products, mutual funds and other investment products and asset management principally to individuals and small and medium size businesses and professional and trade associations. This segment includes Separate Accounts for individual insurance and annuity products. The Company's insurance business is conducted principally by AXA Equitable and, until August 1, 2008, its wholly owned life insurance subsidiary, AXA Equitable Life and Annuity Company ("AXA Life"), formerly AXA Life and Annuity Company. On August 1, 2008 AXA Equitable sold AXA Life to AXA Equitable Financial Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, for $60.8 million in cash, which approximated AXA Equitable's investment in AXA Life. Investment Management --------------------- The Investment Management segment is principally comprised of the investment management business of AllianceBernstein L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its consolidated subsidiaries "AllianceBernstein"). AllianceBernstein provides research, diversified investment management and related services globally to a broad range of clients. Its principal services include: (a) institutional investment services, servicing institutional clients including unaffiliated corporate and public employee pension funds, endowment funds, domestic and foreign institutions and governments, by means of separately managed accounts, sub-advisory relationships, structured products, collective investments trusts, mutual funds and other investment vehicles, (b) retail services, servicing individual clients, primarily by means of retail mutual funds sponsored by AllianceBernstein or an affiliated company, sub-advisory relationships in respect of mutual funds sponsored by third parties, separately managed account programs sponsored by financial intermediaries worldwide, and other investment vehicles, (c) private client services, including high-net-worth individuals, trusts and estates, charitable foundations, partnerships, private and family corporations and other entities, by means of separately managed accounts, hedge funds, mutual funds, and other investment vehicles, and (d) institutional research services by means of independent, fundamental research, portfolio strategy and brokerage-related services. Principal subsidiaries of AllianceBernstein include: SCB Inc., formerly known as Sanford C. Bernstein, Inc. ("Bernstein"), Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. LLC ("SCB LLC"), Sanford C. Bernstein Limited ("SCBL") and SCB Partners, Inc. ("SCB Partners"). This segment includes institutional Separate Accounts principally managed by AllianceBernstein that provide various investment options for large group pension clients, primarily defined benefit and contribution plans, through pooled or single group accounts. AllianceBernstein is a private partnership for Federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, is not subject to Federal and state corporate income taxes. However, AllianceBernstein is subject to a 4.0% New York City unincorporated business tax ("UBT"). Domestic corporate subsidiaries of AllianceBernstein are subject to Federal, state and local income taxes. Foreign corporate subsidiaries are generally subject to taxes in the foreign jurisdictions where they are located. The Company provides Federal and state income taxes on the undistributed earnings of non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries except to the extent that such earnings are permanently invested outside the United States. F-7 In October 2000, AllianceBernstein acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of SCB Inc (the "Bernstein Acquisition"). Following a two-year lockout period that ended October 2002, the former Bernstein shareholders were permitted to exercise the right to sell private units in AllianceBernstein L.P. (the "AllianceBernstein Units") that were acquired in the Bernstein Acquisition to AXA Financial or an affiliated company (the "AB Put"). In February 2007, AXA Financial purchased a tranche of 8.16 million AllianceBernstein Units pursuant to an exercise of the AB Put at a purchase price of approximately $745.7 million and recorded additional goodwill of $392.8 million and other intangible assets of $209.5 million. After this purchase, AXA Financial Group's beneficial ownership in AllianceBernstein increased by approximately 3.0% to 63.3%. Through December 31, 2008, the Company acquired 32.7 million AllianceBernstein Units pursuant to the AB Put at the aggregate market price of $1,631.1 million and recorded additional goodwill of $733.8 million and other intangible assets of $251.7 million. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company's consolidated economic interest in AllianceBernstein was 37.4% and 45.5%, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, AXA Financial Group's beneficial ownership in AllianceBernstein was approximately 62.4% and 63.2%, respectively. Minority interest subject to redemption rights on the consolidated balance sheets represents the remaining private AllianceBernstein Units still held by former Bernstein shareholders. On January 6, 2009, AXA America Holdings Inc. ("AXA America"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AXA, purchased the remaining 8.16 million AllianceBernstein Units from SCB Partners at a price of $18.349 per Unit pursuant to the final installment of the AB Put. 2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation ----------------------------------------------------- The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions (including normal, recurring accruals) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary in the opinion of management to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AXA Equitable and its subsidiary engaged in insurance related businesses (collectively, the "Insurance Group"); other subsidiaries, principally AllianceBernstein; and those investment companies, partnerships and joint ventures in which AXA Equitable or its subsidiaries has control and a majority economic interest as well as those variable interest entities ("VIEs") that meet the requirements for consolidation. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Insurance Group's General Account held $1.8 million and $5.7 million of investment assets issued by VIEs and determined to be significant variable interests under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation ("FIN") 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Revised". At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as reported in the consolidated balance sheet, these investments included $0.8 million and $4.7 million of fixed maturities (collateralized debt and loan obligations) and $1.0 million and $1.0 million of other equity investments (principally investment limited partnership interests) and are subject to ongoing review for impairment in value. These VIEs do not require consolidation because management has determined that the Insurance Group is not the primary beneficiary. These variable interests at December 31, 2008 represent the Insurance Group's maximum exposure to loss from its direct involvement with the VIEs. The Insurance Group has no further economic interest in these VIEs in the form of related guarantees, commitments, derivatives, credit enhancements or similar instruments and obligations. Management of AllianceBernstein reviews quarterly its investment management agreements and its investments in, and other financial arrangements with, certain entities that hold client assets under management ("AUM") to determine the entities that AllianceBernstein is required to consolidate under FIN 46(R). These include certain mutual fund products, hedge funds, structured products, group trusts, collective investment trusts and limited partnerships. F-8 AllianceBernstein earned investment management fees on client AUM of these entities but derived no other benefit from those assets and cannot utilize those assets in its operations. At December 31, 2008, AllianceBernstein had significant variable interests in certain other structured products and hedge funds with approximately $61.0 million in client assets under management. However, these VIEs do not require consolidation because management has determined that AllianceBernstein is not the primary beneficiary of the expected losses or expected residual returns of these entities. AllianceBernstein's maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to its investments of $0.1 million in and prospective investment management fees earned from these entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The years "2008," "2007" and "2006" refer to the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Certain reclassifications have been made in the amounts presented for prior periods to conform those periods to the current presentation. Accounting Changes ------------------ On January 12, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 99-20-1, "Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20", amending EITF Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment of Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets". The FSP broadens the other-than-temporary impairment assessment for interests in securitized financial assets within the scope of EITF 99-20 to conform to the model applicable to all other debt securities by permitting reasonable management judgment of the probability to collect all projected cash flows. FSP EITF 99-20-1 is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008 and application to prior periods is not permitted. At December 31, 2008, debt securities with amortized cost and fair values of approximately $1,616.8 million and $1,156.3 million comprised the population subject to this amendment. Adoption of the FSP did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. Effective January 1, 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115," permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Management has elected not to adopt the fair value option as permitted by SFAS No. 159. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies only to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards, except for measurements of share-based payments and measurements that are similar to, but not intended to be, fair value. Fair value is defined under SFAS No. 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 157 at January 1, 2008 required only a remeasurement of the fair value of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit ("GMIB") reinsurance asset, resulting in an increase in net income of $68.8 million, related to an increase in the fair value of the GMIB reinsurance asset of $210.6 million, offset by increased DAC amortization of $104.7 million and increased Federal income taxes of $37.1 million. The increase in the GMIB reinsurance asset's fair value under SFAS No. 157 was due primarily to updates to the capital markets assumptions and risk margins, reflective of market participant assumptions required by the exit value model of SFAS No. 157. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-2, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, including goodwill and other intangible assets, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). This deferral delays until December 31, 2009 the application of SFAS No. 157 to the Company's annual impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets but would require adoption in an earlier interim period in 2009 if circumstances would be indicative of an impairment event. Management F-9 does not anticipate adoption of this FSP to have significant impact on the methodologies used to measure fair value for these impairment assessments. On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-3, "Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active," which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP SFAS No. 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Significant liquidity constraints that emerged in fourth quarter 2008 in the market for commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") resulted in the Company's adoption of this clarification for purpose of measuring the fair value of its CMBS portfolio at December 31, 2008. As a result, management concluded that an adjusted discounted cash flow methodology that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs would produce a more representative measure of the fair value of CMBS at December 31, 2008 as compared to matrix pricing and broker quotes used at prior measurement dates and that now would require significant adjustments. The determination of fair value also considered the very limited, yet observable, CMBS transactions that occurred in fourth quarter 2008. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of the Company's CMBS portfolio was $1,674.7 million. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations (revised 2007)" to be applied prospectively for all future acquisitions. While retaining the requirement of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," to use purchase accounting for all business combinations, SFAS No. 141(R)'s new rules include the following: o The acquirer will recognize 100% of the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities (with few exceptions) upon initially obtaining control even if it has not acquired 100% of the target company, o Contingent considerations will be included in the purchase price consideration on a fair value basis while transaction costs will be expensed as incurred, and o The requirements in SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," must be met at the acquisition date in order to accrue for a restructuring plan. In June 2007, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 07-1, "Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies". The SOP provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). The SOP addresses whether the specialized industry accounting principles of the Guide should be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor that has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investment company and applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in the entity. SOP 07-1 was to have been effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP SOP 07-1-1 that indefinitely delays the effective date of SOP 07-1. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to consider a number of significant issues relating to the implementation of SOP 07-1. Effective January 1, 2007, and as more fully described in Note 15 herein, the Company adopted FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," an interpretation that clarifies the recognition criteria and measurement of the economic benefits associated with tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, a tax benefit is recognized only if it is "more likely than not" to be sustained based on the technical merits of the position, assuming examination by the taxing authority, and is required to be measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, taking into consideration the amounts and probabilities of potential settlement outcomes. FIN 48 also addresses subsequent derecognition of tax positions, changes in the measurement of recognized tax positions, accrual and classification of interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods. In addition, annual disclosures with respect to income taxes have been expanded by FIN 48 and require inclusion of a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the reporting period. As a result of adopting FIN 48, the Company recognized a $44.8 million cumulative-effect adjustment that increased January 1, 2007 retained earnings reflecting a decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits. On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the AICPA's SOP 05-1, "Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts". The SOP requires identification of transactions that result in a substantial change in an insurance contract. F-10 Transactions subject to review include internal contract exchanges, contract modifications via amendment, rider or endorsement and elections of benefits, features or rights contained within the contract. If determined that a substantial change has occurred, the related deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and other related balances must be written off. The adoption of SOP 05-1 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. On December 31, 2006, the Company implemented SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans," requiring employers to recognize the over or underfunded status of such benefit plans as an asset or liability in the balance sheet for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2006 and to recognize subsequent changes in that funded status as a component of other comprehensive income. The funded status of a plan is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation for pension plans or the benefit obligation for any other postretirement plan. SFAS No. 158 did not change the determination of net periodic benefit cost or its presentation in the statement of earnings. However, its requirements represent a significant change to previous accounting guidance that generally delayed recognition of certain changes in plan assets and benefit obligations in the balance sheet and only required disclosure of the complete funded status of the plans in the notes to the financial statements. As required by SFAS No. 158, the $449.5 million impact of initial adoption, net of income tax and minority interest, was reported as an adjustment to the December 31, 2006 balance of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The consequent recognition of the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans at December 31, 2006 reduced total assets by approximately $684.2 million principally due to the $684.2 million reduction of prepaid pension cost, and decreased total liabilities by approximately $234.7 million. The change in liabilities resulted principally from the $242.7 million decrease in income taxes payable partially offset by an increase of $12.0 million in benefit plan liabilities. SFAS No. 158 imposes an additional requirement, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer's year-end balance sheet, thereby eliminating the option to elect an earlier measurement date alternative of not more than three months prior to that date, if used consistently each year. This provision of SFAS No. 158 had no impact on the Company as it already uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plan assets and benefits obligations. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which requires the cost of all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, resulting in compensation expense for certain types of the Company's equity-classified award programs for which no cost previously would have been charged to net earnings in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," most notably for employee options to purchase AXA American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") and AXA ordinary shares and for employee stock purchase plans. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, consolidated earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interest for 2006 was $81.8 million lower and consolidated net earnings for 2006 was $52.5 million lower than if these plans had continued to be accounted for under APB No. 25. The Company used the "modified prospective method," applying the measurement, recognition, and attribution requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) to stock-based compensation awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled on or after January 1, 2006. Beginning in first quarter 2006, costs associated with unvested portions of outstanding employee stock option awards at January 1, 2006 were recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings over the awards' remaining future service-vesting periods. Liability-classified awards outstanding at January 1, 2006, such as performance units and stock appreciation rights, were remeasured to fair value. The remeasurement resulted in no adjustment to their intrinsic value basis, including the cumulative effect of differences between actual and expected forfeitures, primarily due to the de minimis time remaining to expected settlement of these awards. The Company also elected the "short-cut" transition alternative for approximating the historical pool of windfall tax benefits available in shareholder's equity at January 1, 2006 as provided by the FASB in FSP FAS No. 123(R)-3, "Transition Election Related to Accounting For the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards". This historical pool represents the cumulative tax benefits of tax deductions for employee share-based payments in excess of compensation costs recognized under U.S. GAAP. In the event that a shortfall F-11 of tax benefits occurs during a reporting period (i.e., tax deductions are less than the related cumulative compensation expense), the historical pool will be reduced by the amount of the shortfall. If the shortfall exceeds the amount of the historical pool, there will be a negative impact on the results of operations. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, additional windfall tax benefits resulted from employee exercises of stock option awards. New Accounting Pronouncements ----------------------------- On December 30, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, "Disclosures about Employers' Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets". The FSP amended FAS. 132(R), "Disclosure about Plan Assets," to require additional disclosures about assets held in an employer's defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, including disclosures about fair value measures similar to those of SFAS No. 157. The FSP is effective prospectively for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," which requires enhanced disclosures of an entity's objectives and strategies for using derivatives, including tabular presentation of fair value amounts, gains and losses, and related hedged items, with appropriate cross-referencing to the financial statements. SFAS No. 161 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2009. On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51". SFAS No. 160 will: o Recharacterize minority interests, currently classified within liabilities, as noncontrolling interests to be reported as a component of consolidated equity on the balance sheet, o Include total income in net income, with separate disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the attribution of income between controlling and noncontrolling interests, and o Account for increases and decreases in noncontrolling interests as equity transactions with any difference between proceeds of a purchase or issuance of noncontrolling interests being accounted for as a change to the controlling entity's equity instead of as current period gains/losses in the consolidated income statement. Only when the controlling entity loses control and deconsolidates a subsidiary will a gain or loss be recognized. SFAS No. 160 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 except for its specific transition provisions for retroactive adoption of the balance sheet and income statement presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. Management currently is assessing the impacts of adoption, including adjustments that will be required in the consolidated financial statements to conform the presentations of minority interest in the equity and net income of AllianceBernstein and the recognition of changes in the Company's ownership interest. In 2009, the Emerging Issues Task Force will consider a topic entitled "Consideration of an Insurer's Accounting for Majority Owned Investments When the Ownership Is Through a Separate Account". This issue will consider the treatment of Separate Account arrangements that involve ownership by the Separate Account of more than 50% of its mutual fund shares. Closed Block ------------ As a result of demutualization, the Closed Block was established in 1992 for the benefit of certain individual participating policies that were in force on that date. Assets, liabilities and earnings of the Closed Block are specifically identified to support its participating policyholders. Assets allocated to the Closed Block inure solely to the benefit of the Closed Block policyholders and will not revert to the benefit of AXA Equitable. No reallocation, transfer, borrowing or lending of assets can be made between the Closed Block and other portions of AXA Equitable's General Account, any of its Separate Accounts or any affiliate of AXA Equitable without the approval of the New York Superintendent of Insurance (the "Superintendent"). Closed Block assets and liabilities are carried on the same basis as similar assets and liabilities held in the General Account. The excess of Closed Block liabilities over Closed Block assets (adjusted to exclude the impact of related amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income) represents the expected maximum future post-tax earnings from the Closed Block that would be recognized in income from continuing operations over the period the policies and contracts in the Closed Block remain in force. As of January 1, 2001, the Company has developed an actuarial calculation of the expected timing of the Closed Block earnings. F-12 If the actual cumulative earnings from the Closed Block are greater than the expected cumulative earnings, only the expected earnings will be recognized in net income. Actual cumulative earnings in excess of expected cumulative earnings at any point in time are recorded as a policyholder dividend obligation because they will ultimately be paid to Closed Block policyholders as an additional policyholder dividend unless offset by future performance that is less favorable than originally expected. If a policyholder dividend obligation has been previously established and the actual Closed Block earnings in a subsequent period are less than the expected earnings for that period, the policyholder dividend obligation would be reduced (but not below zero). If, over the period the policies and contracts in the Closed Block remain in force, the actual cumulative earnings of the Closed Block are less than the expected cumulative earnings, only actual earnings would be recognized in income from continuing operations. If the Closed Block has insufficient funds to make guaranteed policy benefit payments, such payments will be made from assets outside the Closed Block. Many expenses related to Closed Block operations, including amortization of DAC, are charged to operations outside of the Closed Block; accordingly, net revenues of the Closed Block do not represent the actual profitability of the Closed Block operations. Operating costs and expenses outside of the Closed Block are, therefore, disproportionate to the business outside of the Closed Block. Investments ----------- The carrying values of fixed maturities identified as available for sale are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported in comprehensive income. The amortized cost of fixed maturities is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other than temporary. The redeemable preferred stock investments reported in fixed maturities include real estate investment trusts ("REIT") perpetual preferred stock, other perpetual preferred stock and redeemable preferred stock. These securities may not have a stated maturity, may not be cumulative and do not provide for mandatory redemption by the issuer. Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of unamortized discounts and valuation allowances. Valuation allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or on its collateral value if the loan is collateral dependent. However, if foreclosure is or becomes probable, the collateral value measurement method is used. Impaired mortgage loans without provision for losses are loans where the fair value of the collateral or the net present value of the expected future cash flows related to the loan equals or exceeds the recorded investment. Interest income earned on loans where the collateral value is used to measure impairment is recorded on a cash basis. Interest income on loans where the present value method is used to measure impairment is accrued on the net carrying value amount of the loan at the interest rate used to discount the cash flows. Changes in the present value attributable to changes in the amount or timing of expected cash flows are reported as investment gains or losses. Real estate held for the production of income, including real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt, is stated at depreciated cost less valuation allowances. At the date of foreclosure (including in-substance foreclosure), real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt is valued at estimated fair value. Impaired real estate is written down to fair value with the impairment loss being included in Investment (losses) gains, net. Depreciation of real estate held for production of income is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties, which generally range from 40 to 50 years. Valuation allowances are netted against the asset categories to which they apply. Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Partnerships, investment companies and joint venture interests in which the Company has control and a majority economic interest (that is, greater than 50% of the economic return generated by the entity) or those that meet the requirements for consolidation under FIN 46(R) are consolidated; those in which the Company does not have control and a majority economic interest and those that do not meet FIN 46(R) requirements for consolidation are reported on the equity basis of accounting and are included either with equity real estate or other equity investments, as appropriate. The Company records its interests in certain of these partnerships on a one quarter lag. F-13 Equity securities, which include common stock and non-redeemable preferred stock classified as available for sale securities, are carried at fair value and are included in other equity investments with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholder's equity. Trading securities, which include equity securities and fixed maturities, are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses reported in Net earnings. Corporate owned life insurance ("COLI") is purchased by the Company on the lives of certain key employees; certain subsidiaries of the Company are named as beneficiaries under these policies. COLI is carried at the cash surrender value of the policies. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying value of COLI was $687.3 million and $770.7 million, respectively, and is reported in Other invested assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost that approximates fair value, and are included with other invested assets. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits, money market accounts, overnight commercial paper and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, the recorded value has been determined to approximate fair value. All securities owned including United States government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and futures and forwards transactions are recorded in the consolidated financial statements on a trade date basis. Derivatives ----------- The Company primarily uses derivatives for asset/liability risk management, for hedging individual securities and certain equity exposures and to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its long-term debt obligations. Various derivative instruments are used to achieve these objectives, including interest rate floors, interest rate swaps, futures contracts and options positions. None of the derivatives were designated as qualifying hedges under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Insurance Group issues certain variable annuity products with Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit ("GMDB"), GMIB and Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit for Life ("GWBL") features. The risk associated with the GMDB feature is that under-performance of the financial markets could result in GMDB benefits, in the event of death, being higher than what accumulated policyholder account balances would support. The risk associated with the GMIB feature is that under-performance of the financial markets could result in GMIB benefits, in the event of election, being higher than what accumulated policyholders account balances would support. The Company currently utilizes a combination of futures contracts and interest rate swap and floor contracts to hedge such risks. However, for both GMDB and GMIB, the Company retains basis and volatility risk and risk associated with actual versus expected assumptions for mortality, lapse, surrender, withdrawal and contractholder election rates, among other things. The futures contracts are managed to correlate with changes in the value of the GMDB and GMIB feature that result from financial markets movements. In addition, the Company has purchased reinsurance contracts to mitigate the risks associated with the impact of potential market fluctuations on future policyholder elections of GMIB features contained in certain annuity contracts issued by the Company. Reinsurance contracts covering GMIB exposure as well as the GWBL features are considered derivatives for accounting purposes, and, therefore, must be reported in the balance sheet at their fair value. GMIB reinsurance and GWBL features' fair values are reported in the consolidated balance sheets in Other assets and Future policy benefits and other policyholders liabilities, respectively. Changes in GMIB reinsurance fair values are reflected in Commissions, fees and other income in the consolidated statements of earnings, while changes related to the GWBL fair values are reported in Policyholder's benefits. There can be no assurance that ultimate actual experience will not differ from management's estimates. See Note 8 herein. F-14 Margins on individual insurance and annuity contracts are affected by interest rate fluctuations. If interest rates fall, credited interest rates and dividends could be adjusted prospectively subject to minimum rate guarantees. To hedge exposure to lower interest rates for these and other reasons, the Company may use interest rate floors. The Company is exposed to equity market fluctuations through investments in Separate Accounts. The Company may enter into derivative contracts to minimize such risk. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. Generally, such credit exposure is limited to the fair value of the derivative instruments at the reporting date. All derivatives outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values. The Company controls and minimizes its counterparty exposure. Exposure to credit risk is controlled with respect to each counterparty through a credit appraisal and approval process. Each counterparty is currently rated A+ or better by Moody's and Standard and Poor's rating agencies. In addition, as further described in Note 3, the Company has executed various collateral arrangements with counterparties to over-the-counter derivative transactions that require both pledging and accepting collateral either in the form of cash or high-quality securities, such as Treasuries or those issued by government agencies. All outstanding equity-based and treasury futures contracts at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were exchange-traded and are marked to market and net settled daily. All gains and losses on derivative financial instruments other than the GMIB reinsurance contracts and the GWBL features liability are reported in Net investment income. Net Investment Income, Investment (Losses) Gains, Net and Unrealized Investment Gains (Losses) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Net investment income and realized investment gains (losses), net (together, "investment results") related to certain participating group annuity contracts which are passed through to the contractholders are offset by amounts reflected as interest credited to policyholders' account balances. Realized investment gains (losses) are determined by identification with the specific asset and are presented as a component of revenue. Changes in the valuation allowances are included in Investment (losses) gains, net. Realized and unrealized holding gains (losses) on trading securities are reflected in Net investment income. Unrealized investment gains and losses on fixed maturities and equity securities available for sale held by the Company are accounted for as a separate component of accumulated comprehensive income, net of related deferred income taxes, amounts attributable to certain pension operations principally consisting of group non-participating wind-up annuity products ("Wind-up Annuities"), Closed Block's policyholders dividend obligation and DAC related to universal life and investment-type products and participating traditional life contracts. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments ----------------------------------------- SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and identifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 fair values generally are supported by market transactions that occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs to model-derived valuations that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and often requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as an entity's own assumptions about the cash flows or other significant components of value that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. F-15 Fair value measurements classified as Level 1 include exchange-traded prices of debt and equity securities and net asset values for transacting subscriptions and redemptions of mutual fund shares held by Separate Accounts. At December 31, 2008, investments classified as Level 2 comprised approximately 24.0% of invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and primarily included U.S. government and agency securities and certain corporate debt securities. As market quotes generally are not readily available or accessible for these securities, their fair value measures most often are determined through the use of model pricing that effectively discounts prospective cash flows to present value using appropriate sector-adjusted credit spreads commensurate with the security's duration, also taking into consideration issuer-specific credit quality and liquidity. These valuation methodologies have been studied and evaluated by the Company and the resulting prices determined to be representative of exit values for which the significant inputs are sourced either directly or indirectly from market observable data. At December 31, 2008, approximately $419.4 million amortized cost of CMBS securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 classification. Through third quarter 2008, pricing of these securities was sourced from a third party service, whose process placed significant reliance on market trading activity. In fourth quarter 2008, the lack of sufficient observable CMBS trading data and significant volatility in the pricing of isolated trades, made it difficult, at best, to validate prices of CMBS securities below the senior AAA tranche for which limited trading continued. Consequently, the Company instead applied a risk-adjusted present value technique to the projected cash flows of these securities, as adjusted for origination year, default metrics, and level of subordination, with the objective of maximizing observable inputs. To provide for consideration of fourth quarter market transactions, the fair value measures of these CMBS securities at December 31, 2008 attributed a 10% weighting to the pricing sourced from the third party service. This weighting of multiple valuation techniques is permitted both by SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-3 and produces a more representative measure of the fair values of these CMBS securities in the circumstances. The fair value of these CMBS securities at December 31, 2008 was approximately $358.2 million. The Level 2 classification continues to include approximately $1,843.0 million AAA-rated mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including AAA senior CMBS, for which the observability of market inputs to their pricing models is supported by sufficient, albeit more recently volatile, market activity in these sectors. Determinations to classify fair value measures within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy generally are based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. In addition to the CMBS securities described above, included in the Level 3 classification at December 31, 2008 were approximately $458.4 million of fixed maturities with indicative pricing obtained from brokers that otherwise could not be corroborated to market observable data. The Company applies various due-diligence procedures, as considered appropriate, to validate the pricing of investments classified as Level 3, including back-testing to historical prices, benchmarking to similar securities, and internal review by a valuation committee. Level 3 also includes the GMIB reinsurance asset and the GWBL features' liability, which are accounted for as derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The GMIB reinsurance asset reflects the present value of reinsurance premiums and recoveries and risk margins over a range of market consistent economic scenarios while the GWBL related liability reflects the present value of expected future payments (benefits) less the fees, adjusted for risk margins, attributable to the GWBL feature valued as an embedded derivative over a range of market-consistent economic scenarios. The valuation of both the asset and liability just described incorporates significant non-observable assumptions related to policyholder behavior, risk margins and projections of Separate Account funds. The Company defines fair value as the quoted market prices for those instruments that are actively traded in financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured using present value or other valuation techniques. The fair value determinations are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such adjustments do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments are excluded from fair value disclosures, particularly insurance liabilities other than financial guarantees and investment contracts. Fair market values of off-balance-sheet financial instruments of the Insurance Group were not material at December 31, 2008 and 2007. F-16 Fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are measured by discounting future contractual cash flows using interest rates at which loans with similar characteristics and credit quality would be made. Fair values for foreclosed mortgage loans and problem mortgage loans are limited to the fair value of the underlying collateral if lower. The fair values for the Company's association plan contracts, supplementary contracts not involving life contingencies ("SCNILC") and certain annuities, which are included in policyholders' account balances, and guaranteed interest contracts are estimated using projected cash flows discounted at rates reflecting expected current offering rates. The fair values for variable deferred annuities and single premium deferred annuities, included in policyholders' account balances, are estimated as the discounted value of projected account values. Current account values are projected to the time of the next crediting rate review at the current crediting rates and are projected beyond that date at the greater of current estimated market rates offered on new policies or the guaranteed minimum crediting rate. Expected cash flows and projected account values are discounted back to the present at the current estimated market rates. Fair values for long-term debt are determined using published market values, where available, or contractual cash flows discounted at market interest rates. The fair values for non-recourse mortgage debt are determined by discounting contractual cash flows at a rate that takes into account the level of current market interest rates and collateral risk. The fair values for recourse mortgage debt are determined by discounting contractual cash flows at a rate based upon current interest rates of other companies with credit ratings similar to the Company. The Company's carrying value of short-term borrowings approximates fair value. Recognition of Insurance Income and Related Expenses ---------------------------------------------------- Premiums from universal life and investment-type contracts are reported as deposits to policyholders' account balances. Revenues from these contracts consist of amounts assessed during the period against policyholders' account balances for mortality charges, policy administration charges and surrender charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policyholders' account balances. Premiums from participating and non-participating traditional life and annuity policies with life contingencies generally are recognized in income when due. Benefits and expenses are matched with such income so as to result in the recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. This match is accomplished by means of the provision for liabilities for future policy benefits and the deferral and subsequent amortization of policy acquisition costs. For contracts with a single premium or a limited number of premium payments due over a significantly shorter period than the total period over which benefits are provided, premiums are recorded as revenue when due with any excess profit deferred and recognized in income in a constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the amount of expected future benefit payments. Premiums from individual health contracts are recognized as income over the period to which the premiums relate in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided. DAC --- Acquisition costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new and renewal insurance business, including commissions, underwriting, agency and policy issue expenses, are deferred. DAC is subject to recoverability testing at the time of policy issue and loss recognition testing at the end of each accounting period. For universal life products and investment-type products, DAC is amortized over the expected total life of the contract group as a constant percentage of estimated gross profits arising principally from investment results, Separate Account fees, mortality and expense margins and surrender charges based on historical and anticipated future experience, updated at the end of each accounting period. When estimated gross profits are expected to be negative for multiple years of a contract life, DAC is amortized using the present value of estimated assessments. The effect on the amortization of DAC of revisions to estimated gross profits or F-17 assessments is reflected in earnings in the period such estimated gross profits or assessments are revised. A decrease in expected gross profits or assessments would accelerate DAC amortization. Conversely, an increase in expected gross profits or assessments would slow DAC amortization. The effect on the DAC asset that would result from realization of unrealized gains (losses) is recognized with an offset to accumulated comprehensive income in consolidated shareholder's equity as of the balance sheet date. A significant assumption in the amortization of DAC on variable and interest-sensitive life insurance and variable annuities relates to projected future Separate Account performance. Management sets estimated future gross profit assumptions related to Separate Account performance using a long-term view of expected average market returns by applying a reversion to the mean approach. In applying this approach to develop estimates of future returns, it is assumed that the market will return to an average gross long-term return estimate, developed with reference to historical long-term equity market performance and subject to assessment of the reasonableness of resulting estimates of future return assumptions. For purposes of making this reasonableness assessment, management has set limitations as to maximum and minimum future rate of return assumptions, as well as a limitation on the duration of use of these maximum or minimum rates of return. At December 31, 2008, the average gross short-term and long-term annual return estimate is 9.0% (6.7% net of product weighted average Separate Account fees), and the gross maximum and minimum annual rate of return limitations are 15.0% (12.7% net of product weighted average Separate Account fees) and 0.0% ((2.3%) net of product weighted average Separate Account fees), respectively. The maximum duration over which these rate limitations may be applied is 5 years. This approach will continue to be applied in future periods. If actual market returns continue at levels that would result in assuming future market returns of 15.0% for more than 5 years in order to reach the average gross long-term return estimate, the application of the 5 year maximum duration limitation would result in an acceleration of DAC amortization. Conversely, actual market returns resulting in assumed future market returns of 0.0% for more than 5 years would result in a required deceleration of DAC amortization. As of December 31, 2008, current projections of future average gross market returns assume a 9% return for 2009 through 2013, which is within the maximum and minimum limitations. At the end of each accounting period, the present value of estimated gross profits or assessments is updated based on historical and anticipated future experience. Due primarily to the significant reduction in Separate Accounts balances in fourth quarter 2008 and a change in the estimate of average gross short-term annual return on Separate Account balances to 9.0%, estimated gross profits on a U.S. GAAP basis for certain issue years of the Accumulator(R) product line of variable annuities are expected to be negative due to the recognition of derivative gains in earnings, while the reserves do not fully reflect the immediate impact of equity and interest market fluctuations. Therefore, the amortization method was changed from a methodology that uses the present value of estimated gross profits to the present value of estimated assessments. In addition, projections of future mortality assumptions related to variable and interest-sensitive life products are based on a long-term average of actual experience. This assumption is updated quarterly to reflect recent experience as it emerges. Improvement of life mortality in future periods from that currently projected would result in future deceleration of DAC amortization. Conversely, deterioration of life mortality in future periods from that currently projected would result in future acceleration of DAC amortization. Generally, life mortality experience has been improving in recent years. Other significant assumptions underlying gross profit estimates relate to contract persistency and General Account investment spread. For participating traditional life policies (substantially all of which are in the Closed Block), DAC is amortized over the expected total life of the contract group as a constant percentage based on the present value of the estimated gross margin amounts expected to be realized over the life of the contracts using the expected investment yield. At December 31, 2008, the average rate of assumed investment yields, excluding policy loans, was 6.2% grading to 6.0% over 10 years. Estimated gross margin includes anticipated premiums and investment results less claims and administrative expenses, changes in the net level premium reserve and expected annual policyholder dividends. The effect on the accumulated amortization of DAC of revisions to estimated gross margins is reflected in earnings in the period such estimated gross margins are revised. The effect on the DAC asset that would result from realization of unrealized gains (losses) is recognized with an offset to accumulated comprehensive income in consolidated shareholder's equity as of the balance sheet date. F-18 For non-participating traditional life policies, DAC is amortized in proportion to anticipated premiums. Assumptions as to anticipated premiums are estimated at the date of policy issue and are consistently applied during the life of the contracts. Deviations from estimated experience are reflected in earnings in the period such deviations occur. For these contracts, the amortization periods generally are for the total life of the policy. Contractholder Bonus Interest Credits ------------------------------------- Contractholder bonus interest credits are offered on certain deferred annuity products in the form of either immediate bonus interest credited or enhanced interest crediting rates for a period of time. The interest crediting expense associated with these contractholder bonus interest credits is deferred and amortized over the lives of the underlying contracts in a manner consistent with the amortization of DAC. Unamortized balances are included in Other assets. Policyholders' Account Balances and Future Policy Benefits ---------------------------------------------------------- Policyholders' account balances for universal life and investment-type contracts are equal to the policy account values. The policy account values represent an accumulation of gross premium payments plus credited interest less expense and mortality charges and withdrawals. AXA Equitable issues certain variable annuity products with GMDB and GWBL features and guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits ("GMAB"). AXA Equitable also issues certain variable annuity products that contain a GMIB feature which, if elected by the policyholder after a stipulated waiting period from contract issuance, guarantees a minimum lifetime annuity based on predetermined annuity purchase rates that may be in excess of what the contract account value can purchase at then-current annuity purchase rates. This minimum lifetime annuity is based on predetermined annuity purchase rates applied to a guaranteed minimum income benefit base. Reserves for GMDB and GMIB obligations are calculated on the basis of actuarial assumptions related to projected benefits and related contract charges generally over the lives of the contracts using assumptions consistent with those used in estimating gross profits for purposes of amortizing DAC. The determination of this estimated liability is based on models that involve numerous estimates and subjective judgments, including those regarding expected market rates of return and volatility, contract surrender and withdrawal rates, mortality experience, and, for contracts with the GMIB feature, GMIB election rates. Assumptions regarding Separate Account performance used for purposes of this calculation are set using a long-term view of expected average market returns by applying a reversion to the mean approach, consistent with that used for DAC amortization. There can be no assurance that ultimate actual experience will not differ from management's estimates. For reinsurance contracts other than those covering GMIB exposure, reinsurance recoverable balances are calculated using methodologies and assumptions that are consistent with those used to calculate the direct liabilities. Deferred cost of reinsurance associated with the reinsurance of GMDB and GMIB riders is amortized over the life of the underlying annuity contracts based on assessments. For participating traditional life policies, future policy benefit liabilities are calculated using a net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions equal to guaranteed mortality and dividend fund interest rates. The liability for annual dividends represents the accrual of annual dividends earned. Terminal dividends are accrued in proportion to gross margins over the life of the contract. For non-participating traditional life insurance policies, future policy benefit liabilities are estimated using a net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions as to mortality, persistency and interest established at policy issue. Assumptions established at policy issue as to mortality and persistency are based on the Insurance Group's experience that, together with interest and expense assumptions, includes a margin for adverse deviation. When the liabilities for future policy benefits plus the present value of expected future gross premiums for a product are insufficient to provide for expected future policy benefits and expenses for that product, DAC is written off and thereafter, if required, a premium deficiency reserve is established by a charge to earnings. Benefit liabilities for traditional annuities during the accumulation period are equal to accumulated contractholders' fund balances and, after annuitization, are equal to the present value of expected future payments. Interest rates used in establishing such liabilities range from 4.0% to 10.9% for life insurance liabilities and from 2.35% to 8.7% for annuity liabilities. F-19 Individual health benefit liabilities for active lives are estimated using the net level premium method and assumptions as to future morbidity, withdrawals and interest. Benefit liabilities for disabled lives are estimated using the present value of benefits method and experience assumptions as to claim terminations, expenses and interest. While management believes its disability income ("DI") reserves have been calculated on a reasonable basis and are adequate, there can be no assurance reserves will be sufficient to provide for future liabilities. Policyholders' Dividends ------------------------ The amount of policyholders' dividends to be paid (including dividends on policies included in the Closed Block) is determined annually by AXA Equitable's board of directors. The aggregate amount of policyholders' dividends is related to actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year and judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained by AXA Equitable. At December 31, 2008, participating policies, including those in the Closed Block, represent approximately 9.73% ($27,200.0 million) of directly written life insurance in-force, net of amounts ceded. Separate Accounts ----------------- Generally, Separate Accounts established under New York State Insurance Law are not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of the Insurance Group. Separate Accounts assets are subject to General Account claims only to the extent Separate Accounts assets exceed Separate Accounts liabilities. Assets and liabilities of the Separate Accounts represent the net deposits and accumulated net investment earnings less fees, held primarily for the benefit of contractholders, and for which the Insurance Group does not bear the investment risk. Separate Accounts' assets and liabilities are shown on separate lines in the consolidated balance sheets. Assets held in the Separate Accounts are carried at quoted market values or, where quoted values are not readily available or accessible for these securities, their fair value measures most often are determined through the use of model pricing that effectively discounts prospective cash flows to present value using appropriate sector adjusted credit spreads commensurate with the security's duration, also taking into consideration issuer-specific credit quality and liquidity. The assets and liabilities of three Separate Accounts are presented and accounted for as General Account assets and liabilities due to the fact that not all of the investment performance in those Separate Accounts is passed through to policyholders. Investment assets in these Separate Accounts principally consist of fixed maturities that are classified as available for sale in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The investment results of Separate Accounts, including unrealized (losses) gains, on which the Insurance Group does not bear the investment risk are reflected directly in Separate Accounts liabilities and are not reported in revenues in the consolidated statements of earnings. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, investment results of such Separate Accounts were (losses) gains of $(33,912.8) million, $5,347.4 million and $5,689.1 million, respectively. Deposits to Separate Accounts are reported as increases in Separate Accounts liabilities and are not reported in revenues. Mortality, policy administration and surrender charges on all policies including those funded by Separate Accounts are included in revenues. The Company reports the General Account's interests in Separate Accounts as Trading securities in the consolidated balance sheets. Recognition of Investment Management Revenues and Related Expenses ------------------------------------------------------------------ Commissions, fees and other income principally include the Investment Management segment's investment advisory and service fees, distribution revenues and institutional research services revenue. Investment advisory and service base fees, generally calculated as a percentage, referred to as basis points ("BPs"), of assets under management, are recorded as revenue as the related services are performed; they include brokerage transactions charges received by SCB LLC, for certain retail, private client and institutional investment client transactions. Certain investment advisory contracts, including those with hedge funds, provide for a performance-based fee, in addition to or in lieu of a base fee that is calculated as either a percentage of absolute investment results or a percentage of the investment results in excess of or shortfall compared to a stated benchmark over a specified period of time. Performance-based fees are recorded as F-20 revenue at the end of each contract's measurement period. Institutional research services revenue consists of brokerage transaction charges received by SCB LLC and SCBL, for independent research and brokerage-related services provided to institutional investors. Brokerage transaction charges earned and related expenses are recorded on a trade date basis. Distribution revenues and shareholder servicing fees are accrued as earned. Commissions paid to financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of shares of open-end AllianceBernstein sponsored mutual funds sold without a front-end sales charge ("back-end load shares") are capitalized as deferred sales commissions and amortized over periods not exceeding five and one-half years for U.S. fund shares and four years for non-U.S. fund shares, the periods of time during which the deferred sales commissions are generally recovered. These commissions are recovered from distribution services fees received from those funds and from contingent deferred sales commissions ("CDSC") received from shareholders of those funds upon the redemption of their shares. CDSC cash recoveries are recorded as reductions of unamortized deferred sales commissions when received. AllianceBernstein's management tests the deferred sales commission asset for recoverability quarterly. AllianceBernstein's management determines recoverability by estimating undiscounted future cash flows to be realized from this asset, as compared to its recorded amount, as well as the estimated remaining life of the deferred sales commission asset over which undiscounted future cash flows are expected to be received. Undiscounted future cash flows consist of ongoing distribution services fees and CDSC. Distribution services fees are calculated as a percentage of average assets under management related to back-end load shares. CDSC are based on the lower of cost or current value, at the time of redemption, of back-end load shares redeemed and the point at which redeemed during the applicable minimum holding period under the mutual fund distribution system. Significant assumptions utilized to estimate future average assets under management and undiscounted future cash flows from back-end load shares include expected future market levels and redemption rates. Market assumptions are selected using a long-term view of expected average market returns based on historical returns of broad market indices. Future redemption rate assumptions are determined by reference to actual redemption experience over the five-year, three-year and one-year periods and current quarterly periods ended December 31, 2008. These assumptions are updated periodically. Estimates of undiscounted future cash flows and the remaining life of the deferred sales commission asset are made from these assumptions and the aggregate undiscounted cash flows are compared to the recorded value of the deferred sales commission asset. If AllianceBernstein's management determines in the future that the deferred sales commission asset is not recoverable, an impairment condition would exist and a loss would be measured as the amount by which the recorded amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is determined using AllianceBernstein's management's best estimate of future cash flows discounted to a present value amount. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ------------------------------------ Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets of acquired companies, and relates principally to the Bernstein Acquisition and purchases of AllianceBernstein units. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill is tested annually for impairment and at interim periods if events or circumstances indicate an impairment could have occurred. Based on the 2008 impairment testing performed as of December 31, 2008, management determined that goodwill was not impaired. Intangible assets related to the Bernstein Acquisition and purchases of AllianceBernstein units include values assigned to contracts of businesses acquired. These intangible assets continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of twenty years. Other intangible assets are tested for impairment quarterly. Management believes that other intangible assets were not impaired at December 31, 2008. Other Accounting Policies ------------------------- Capitalized internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software that ranges between one and nine years. F-21 AXA Financial and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Company, file a consolidated Federal income tax return. Current Federal income taxes are charged or credited to operations based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between financial statement carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates and laws. Discontinued operations include real estate held-for-sale. Real estate investments meeting the following criteria are classified as real estate held-for-sale: o Management having the authority to approve the action commits the organization to a plan to sell the property. o The property is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for the sale of such assets. o An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated and are continuing. o The sale of the asset is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year. o The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. o Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Real estate held-for-sale is stated at depreciated cost less valuation allowances. Valuation allowances on real estate held-for-sale are computed using the lower of depreciated cost or current estimated fair value, net of disposition costs. Depreciation is discontinued on real estate held-for-sale. Real estate held-for-sale is included in the Other assets line in the consolidated balance sheets. The results of operations for real estate held-for-sale in each of the three years ended December 31, 2008 were not significant.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company had trading fixed maturities with an amortized cost of $79.6 million and $105.3 million and carrying values of $76.2 million and $106.2 million. Gross unrealized gains on trading fixed maturities were $0.1 million and $1.0 million and gross unrealized losses were $3.5 million and $0.1 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company determines the fair value of fixed maturities and equity securities based upon quoted prices in active markets, when available, or through the use of alternative approaches when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. These alternative approaches include matrix or model pricing and use of independent pricing services, each supported by reference to principal market trades or other observable market assumptions for similar securities. More specifically, the matrix pricing approach to fair value is a discounted cash flow methodology that incorporates market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. F-23 The contractual maturity of bonds at December 31, 2008 is shown below:

Bonds not due at a single maturity date have been included in the above table in the year of final maturity. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The Company's management, with the assistance of its investment advisors, monitors the investment performance of its portfolio. This review process includes a quarterly review of certain assets by the Insurance Group's Investments Under Surveillance Committee that evaluates whether any investments are other than temporarily impaired. Based on the analysis, a determination is made as to the ability of the issuer to service its debt obligations on an ongoing basis. If this ability is deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, then the appropriate provisions are taken. The following table discloses the 1,373 issues of fixed maturities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than a twelve month period and greater than a twelve month period as of December 31, 2008:

The Insurance Group's fixed maturity investment portfolio includes corporate high yield securities consisting primarily of public high yield bonds. These corporate high yield securities are classified as other than investment grade by the various rating agencies, i.e., a rating below Baa3/BBB- or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") designation of 3 (medium grade), 4 or 5 (below investment grade) or 6 (in or near default). At December 31, 2008, approximately $900.4 million or 3.5% of the $26,211.0 million F-24 aggregate amortized cost of fixed maturities held by the Company was considered to be other than investment grade. The Insurance Group does not originate, purchase or warehouse residential mortgages and is not in the mortgage servicing business. The Insurance Group's fixed maturity investment portfolio includes Residential Mortgage Backed Securities ("RMBS") backed by subprime and Alt-A residential mortgages. RMBS are securities whose cash flows are backed by the principal and interest payments from a set of residential mortgage loans. RMBS backed by subprime and Alt-A residential mortgages consist of loans made by banks or mortgage lenders to residential borrowers with lower credit ratings. The criteria used to categorize such subprime borrowers include Fair Isaac Credit Organization ("FICO") scores, interest rates charged, debt-to-income ratios and loan-to-value ratios. Alt-A residential mortgages are mortgage loans where the risk profile falls between prime and subprime; borrowers typically have clean credit histories but the mortgage loan has an increased risk profile due to higher loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios and /or inadequate documentation of the borrowers' income. At December 31, 2008, the Insurance Group owned $49.1 million in RMBS backed by subprime residential mortgage loans, approximately 76% rated AAA, and $26.9 million in RMBS backed by Alt-A residential mortgage loans, approximately 82% of which were rated AAA. RMBS backed by subprime and Alt-A residential mortgages are fixed income investments supporting General Account liabilities. At December 31, 2008, the carrying value of fixed maturities that were non-income producing for the twelve months preceding that date was $21.2 million. Mortgage Loans -------------- The payment terms of mortgage loans on real estate may from time to time be restructured or modified. There were no restructured mortgage loans on real estate, based on amortized cost, at December 31, 2008 or 2007. Gross interest income on such loans included in net investment income aggregated zero, $3.9 million and $4.1 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gross interest income on restructured mortgage loans on real estate that would have been recorded in accordance with the original terms of such loans amounted to zero, $3.3 million and $4.8 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were no impaired mortgage loans at December 31, 2008. Impaired mortgage loans along with the related investment valuation allowances at December 31, 2007 follow:
December 31, 2007 -------------- (In Millions) Impaired mortgage loans with investment valuation allowances....... $ 11.4 Impaired mortgage loans without investment valuation allowances.... - -------------- Recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans..................... 11.4 Investment valuation allowances.................................... (1.4) -------------- Net Impaired Mortgage Loans........................................ $ 10.0 ==============
During 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company's average recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans was $7.4 million, $49.1 million and $78.8 million. Interest income recognized on these impaired mortgage loans totaled $0.6 million, $4.5 million, and, $4.5 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Mortgage loans on real estate are placed on nonaccrual status once management believes the collection of accrued interest is doubtful. Once mortgage loans on real estate are classified as nonaccrual loans, interest income is recognized under the cash basis of accounting and the resumption of the interest accrual would commence only after all past due interest has been collected or the mortgage loan on real estate has been restructured to where the collection of interest is considered likely. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the carrying value of mortgage loans on real estate that had been classified as nonaccrual loans were zero and $10.0 million. F-25 Equity Real Estate ------------------ The Insurance Group's investment in equity real estate is through direct ownership and through investments in real estate joint ventures. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company owned zero and $113.0 million of real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, no real estate was acquired in satisfaction of debt. Accumulated depreciation on real estate was $189.8 million and $179.7 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Depreciation expense on real estate totaled $12.8 million, $14.2 million and $18.3 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Valuation Allowances for Mortgage Loans and Equity Real Estate Investment valuation allowances for mortgage loans and equity real estate and changes thereto follow:

Equity Method Investments ------------------------- Included in other equity investments, are interests in limited partnership interests and investment companies accounted for under the equity method with a total carrying value of $1,414.6 million and $1,607.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008 and 2007. Included in equity real estate are interests in real estate joint ventures accounted for under the equity method with a total carrying value of $48.3 million and $59.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company's total equity in net (losses) earnings for these real estate joint ventures and limited partnership interests was $(58.1) million, $237.1 million and $169.6 million, respectively, for 2008, 2007 and 2006. F-26 Summarized below is the combined financial information only for those real estate joint ventures and for those limited partnership interests accounted for under the equity method in which the Company has an investment of $10.0 million or greater and an equity interest of 10% or greater (4 individual ventures at both December 31, 2008 and 2007) and the Company's carrying value and equity in net earnings for those real estate joint ventures and limited partnership interests:

Derivatives ----------- At December 31, 2008, the Company had open exchange-traded futures positions on the S&P 500, Russell 1000, NASDAQ 100 and Emerging Market indices, having initial margin requirements of $453.3 million. At December 31, 2008, the Company had open exchange-traded futures positions on the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note, having initial margin requirements of $101.2 million. At that same date, the Company had open exchange-trade future positions on the Euro Stoxx, FTSE 100, European, Australasia, Far East ("EAFE") and Topix indices as well as corresponding currency futures on the Euro/U.S. dollar, Yen/U.S. dollar and Pound/U.S. dollar, having initial margin requirements of $150.2 million. All exchange-traded futures contracts are net cash settled daily. F-27 At December 31, 2008, the Company had $1,750.0 million open exchange-traded options on the S&P index to mature on January 19, 2010, consisting of a long put and short call on the index with strike prices of 881.7 and 1,021.2, respectively, and a short put position at 613.5. These positions were established in fourth quarter 2008 to mitigate the adverse effects of equity market declines on AXA Equitable statutory reserves and protect downside equity exposure to 30% but limit the opportunity for upside to approximately 16%. The contracts have not been designated as qualifying hedges under SFAS No. 133, consequently, changes in their fair values are reflected immediately in earnings. Investment income recorded on these derivatives totaled $7.1 million. The outstanding notional amounts of derivative financial instruments purchased and sold at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were:

At December 31, 2008 and 2007 and during the years then ended, no significant financial instruments contained implicit or explicit terms that met the definition of an embedded derivative component that needed to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. In 2008, the Company executed various collateral arrangements with counterparties to over-the-counter derivative transactions, primarily used in its hedging programs for managing GMDB, GMIB and GWBL exposures, that require both the pledging and accepting of collateral (either in the form of cash or high-quality Treasury or government agency securities). At December 31, 2008, the Company held $568.7 million in cash collateral delivered by trade counterparties, representing the fair value of the related derivative agreements. This unrestricted cash collateral is reported in Cash and cash equivalents, and the obligation to return it is reported in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company held approximately $40.0 million U.S. Treasury securities under these collateral agreements at December 31, 2008. 4) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The carrying value of goodwill related to AllianceBernstein totaled $3,413.8 million and $3,412.1 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company tests this goodwill for recoverability each annual reporting period at December 31 and at interim periods if facts or circumstances are indicative of potential impairment. In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 142, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2008 and 2007 as the fair value of its investment in AllianceBernstein, the reporting unit, exceeded its carrying value at each respective measurement date. However, significant declines in AllianceBernstein's assets under management and operating results in 2008 as a result of the global financial crisis decreased the amount of the excess as compared to 2007. In addition, although the market price of AllianceBernstein Holding Units exceeded their book value at December 31, 2008 and 2007, their market value significantly decreased year-over-year. The Company primarily uses a discounted cash flow valuation technique to measure the fair value of its AllianceBernstein reporting unit for purpose of goodwill impairment testing. The underlying cash flows used in the December 31, 2008 valuation were sourced from AllianceBernstein's current business plan, which factored in current market conditions and all material events that have impacted, or that management believed at the time could potentially impact, future discounted expected cash flows for the first four years and a 7.4% compounded annual growth rate thereafter. The Company discounted these cash flows at approximately 8.2%. The resulting amount, net of minority interest, was tax-effected to reflect taxes incurred at the Company. F-28 The gross carrying amount of AllianceBernstein related intangible assets were $553.8 million and $556.2 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and the accumulated amortization of these intangible assets were $265.3 million and $243.7 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to the AllianceBernstein intangible assets totaled $23.7 million, $23.5 million and $23.6 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years is expected to be approximately $21.4 million. AllianceBernstein tests intangible assets for impairment quarterly by comparing their fair value, as determined by applying a present value technique to expected cash flows, to their carrying value. Each quarter, significant assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows from these intangible assets, primarily investment management contracts, are updated to reflect management's consideration of current market conditions on expectations made with respect to customer account attrition and asset growth rates. As of December 31, 2008, AllianceBernstein determined that these intangible assets were not impaired. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, net deferred sales commissions totaled $113.5 million and $183.6 million are included within the Investment Management segment's Other assets. The estimated amortization expense of deferred sales commissions based on the December 31, 2008 net asset balance for each of the next five years is $51.1 million, $32.4 million, $18.9 million, $8.2 million and $2.7 million. AllianceBernstein tests the deferred sales commission asset for impairment quarterly by comparing undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value, net of accumulated amortization. Each quarter, significant assumptions used to estimate the future cash flows are updated to reflect management's consideration of current market conditions on expectations made with respect to future market levels and redemption rates. As of December 31, 2008, AllianceBernstein determined that the deferred sales commission asset was not impaired. To the extent that securities valuations remain depressed for prolonged periods of time and market conditions stagnate or worsen as a result of the global financial crisis, AllianceBernstein's assets under management, revenues, profitability, and unit price likely would be adversely affected. As a result, more frequent impairment testing may be required and potentially could result in an impairment of the goodwill, intangible assets, and/or deferred sales commission asset attributable to AllianceBernstein. In addition, subsequent impairment testing may be based upon different assumptions and future cash flow projections than used at December 31, 2008 as management's current business plan could be negatively impacted by other risks to which AllianceBernstein's business is subject, including, but not limited to, retention of investment management contracts, selling and distribution agreements, and existing relationships with clients and various financial intermediaries. Any impairment would reduce the recorded goodwill, intangible assets, and/or deferred sales commission asset amounts with a corresponding charge to earnings.

Fair value measurements are required on a non-recurring basis for certain assets, including goodwill, mortgage loans on real estate, equity real estate held for production of income, and equity real estate held for sale, only when an other-than-temporary impairment or other event occurs. When such fair value measurements are recorded, they must be classified and disclosed within the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2008, no assets were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

F-35 The December 31, 2008 values for variable annuity contracts in-force on such date with GMDB and GMIB features are presented in the following table. For contracts with the GMDB feature, the net amount at risk in the event of death is the amount by which the GMDB benefits exceed related account values. For contracts with the GMIB feature, the net amount at risk in the event of annuitization is the amount by which the present value of the GMIB benefits exceeds related account values, taking into account the relationship between current annuity purchase rates and the GMIB guaranteed annuity purchase rates. Since variable annuity contracts with GMDB guarantees may also offer GMIB guarantees in the same contract, the GMDB and GMIB amounts listed are not mutually exclusive:

The GWBL related liability, which reflects the present value of expected future payments (benefits) less the fees attributable to the GWBL feature valued as an embedded derivative over a range of market consistent economic scenarios, was $272.6 million at December 31, 2008. F-36 B) Separate Account Investments by Investment Category Underlying GMDB and GMIB Features ------------------------------------------------------------------- The total account values of variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB features include amounts allocated to the guaranteed interest option which is part of the General Account and variable investment options that invest through Separate Accounts in variable insurance trusts. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of assets, by major investment category, held by Separate Accounts that support variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB benefits and guarantees. The investment performance of the assets impacts the related account values and, consequently, the net amount of risk associated with the GMDB and GMIB benefits and guarantees. Since variable annuity contracts with GMDB benefits and guarantees may also offer GMIB benefits and guarantees in each contract, the GMDB and GMIB amounts listed are not mutually exclusive: INVESTMENT IN VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST MUTUAL FUNDS

C) Hedging Programs for GMDB, GMIB and GWBL Features ------------------------------------------------- Beginning in 2003, AXA Equitable established a program intended to hedge certain risks associated first with the GMDB feature and, beginning in 2004, with the GMIB feature of the Accumulator(R) series of variable annuity products. This program currently utilizes exchange-traded futures contracts, interest rate swap and floor contracts and other derivative instruments that are managed in an effort to reduce the economic impact of unfavorable changes in GMDB, GMIB and GWBL exposures attributable to movements in the equity and fixed income markets. At the present time, this program hedges such economic risks on products sold from 2001 forward, to the extent such risks are not reinsured. At December 31, 2008, the total account value and net amount at risk of the hedged Accumulator(R) series of variable annuity contracts were $27,668 million and $10,615 million, respectively, with the GMDB feature and $15,514 million and $623 million, respectively, with the GMIB feature. These programs do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133. Therefore, SFAS No. 133 requires gains or losses on the derivatives contracts used in these programs, including current period changes in fair value, to be recognized in investment income in the period in which they occur, and may contribute to earnings volatility. D) Variable and Interest-Sensitive Life Insurance Policies - No Lapse Guarantee ------------------------------------------------------------------ The no lapse guarantee feature contained in variable and interest- sensitive life insurance policies keeps them in force in situations where the policy value is not sufficient to cover monthly charges then due. The no lapse guarantee remains in effect so long as the policy meets a contractually specified premium funding test and certain other requirements. F-37 The following table summarizes the no lapse guarantee liabilities reflected in the General Account in Future policy benefits and other policyholders liabilities, and the related reinsurance ceded:

9) REINSURANCE AGREEMENTS The Insurance Group assumes and cedes reinsurance with other insurance companies. The Insurance Group evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Ceded reinsurance does not relieve the originating insurer of liability. The Insurance Group reinsures most of its new variable life, universal life and term life policies on an excess of retention basis. The Insurance Group maintains a maximum retention on each single life policy of $25 million and on each second-to-die policy of $30 million with the excess 100% reinsured. The Insurance Group also reinsures the entire risk on certain substandard underwriting risks and in certain other cases. Likewise, certain risks that would otherwise be reinsured on a proportional basis have been retained. At December 31, 2008, the Company had reinsured to non-affiliates and affiliates in the aggregate approximately 5.4% and 32.3%, respectively, of its current exposure to the GMDB obligation on annuity contracts in-force and, subject to certain maximum amounts or caps in any one period, approximately 65.1% of its current liability exposure resulting from the GMIB feature. See Note 8 herein. Based on management's estimates of future contract cash flows and experience, the estimated fair values of the GMIB reinsurance contracts, considered derivatives under SFAS No. 133, at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $4,821.7 million and $124.7 million, respectively. The increases (decreases) in fair value were $1,566.8 million, $6.9 million and $(14.8) million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, third party reinsurance recoverables related to insurance contracts amounted to $2,897.2 million and $2,890.6 million. Reinsurance payables related to insurance contracts totaling $62.7 million and $58.7 million are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Insurance Group cedes substantially all of its group life and health business to a third party insurer. Insurance liabilities ceded totaled $236.8 million and $239.6 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Insurance Group also cedes a portion of its extended term insurance and paid up life insurance and substantially all of its individual disability income business through various coinsurance agreements. The Insurance Group has also assumed accident, health, aviation and space risks by participating in or reinsuring various reinsurance pools and arrangements. In addition to the sale of insurance products, the Insurance Group currently acts as a professional retrocessionaire by assuming life and annuity reinsurance from professional reinsurers. Reinsurance assumed reserves at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $719.8 million and $642.8 million, respectively.

F-39 Short-term Debt --------------- On September 23, 2008, AXA Equitable repaid its $350.0 million promissory note, $101.7 million of which was included in Wind-up Annuities discontinued operations. On July 17, 2008, AXA Equitable was accepted as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") which provides AXA Equitable access to collateralized borrowings and other FHLBNY products. As membership requires the ownership of member stock, AXA Equitable purchased stock totaling $13.5 million. The credit facility provided by the FHLBNY will supplement existing liquidity sources and provide a diverse and reliable source of funds. Any borrowings from the FHLBNY require the purchase of FHLBNY activity based stock in an amount equal to 4.5% of the borrowings. AXA Equitable's borrowing capacity with FHLBNY is $1.00 billion. As a member of FHLBNY, AXA Equitable can receive advances for which it would be required to pledge qualified mortgage-backed assets and government securities as collateral. At December 31, 2008, there were no outstanding borrowings from FHLBNY. As of December 31, 2008, SCB LLC maintained five separate uncommitted credit facilities with various banks totaling $775 million. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, no amounts were outstanding under these credit facilities. Each loan shall bear interest at the rate of interest agreed to by the lender and the borrower at the time such loan is made. In January 2008, SCB LLC entered into a $950.0 million three-year revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks to fund its obligations resulting from engaging in certain securities trading and other customer activities. Under the revolving credit facility, the interest rate, at the option of SCB LLC, is a floating rate generally based upon a defined prime rate, a rate related to LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate. AllianceBernstein has a $1,000.0 million five-year revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks and other lenders which expires in 2011. The revolving credit facility is intended to provide back-up liquidity for their $1,000.0 million commercial paper program although they borrow directly under the facility from time to time. Under the revolving credit facility, the interest rate, at the option of AllianceBernstein, is a floating rate generally based upon a defined prime rate, a rate related to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or the Federal Funds rate. The revolving credit facility contains covenants which, among other things, require AllianceBernstein to meet certain financial ratios. AllianceBernstein was in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2008. Long-term Debt -------------- At December 31, 2008, the Company was not in breach of any debt covenants. 11) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company reimburses AXA Financial for expenses relating to the Excess Retirement Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and certain other employee benefit plans that provide participants with medical, life insurance, and deferred compensation benefits. Such reimbursement was based on the cost to AXA Financial of the benefits provided which totaled $76.2 million, $63.1 million and $53.5 million, respectively, for 2008, 2007 and 2006. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company paid AXA Distribution and its subsidiaries $754.2 million, $806.9 million and $767.2 million of commissions and fees for sales of insurance products. The Company charged AXA Distribution's subsidiaries $320.5 million, $340.2 million and $352.9 million, respectively, for their applicable share of operating expenses in 2008, 2007 and 2006, pursuant to the Agreements for Services. In September 2001, AXA Equitable loaned $400.0 million to AXA Insurance Holding Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of AXA. This investment both matured and was repaid on June 15, 2007 and had an interest rate of 5.89%. In 2005, AXA Equitable issued a note to AXA Financial in the amount of $325.0 million with an interest rate of 6.00% and a maturity date of December 1, 2035. Interest on this note is payable semi-annually. F-40 In September 2007, AXA issued $650.0 million in 5.40% senior unsecured notes to AXA Equitable. These notes pay interest semi-annually and mature on September 30, 2012. In November 2008, AXA Financial purchased a $500.0 million callable 7.1% surplus note from AXA Equitable. The note pays interest semi-annually and matures on December 1, 2018. In December 2008, AXA Financial purchased a $500.0 million callable 7.1% surplus note from AXA Equitable. The note pays interest semi-annually and matures on December 1, 2018. In fourth quarter 2008, AXA Equitable reinsured the GMDB and GMIB riders on the Accumulator(R) products sold on or after January 1, 2006 and in-force at September 30, 2008 with AXA Financial (Bermuda) Ltd. ("AXA Bermuda"), an affiliate that is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial. AXA Equitable transferred cash and derivative instruments with a fair value of $6,892.5 million equal to the market value of the insurance liabilities assumed by AXA Bermuda on October 1, 2008 and income derived from the hedges related to these riders for the period from October through December 2008, to that entity. AXA Bermuda will manage the dynamic hedging program to mitigate risks related to the reinsured riders. In fourth quarter 2008, AXA Equitable recorded a GMDB reinsurance recoverable and a GMIB reinsurance asset totaling $3,385.7 resulting in a cost of reinsurance of $3,506.8 million. The cost of this arrangement has been deferred and will be amortized over the life of the underlying annuity contracts. Amortization of the cost in 2009 is expected to be approximately $290 million. Various AXA affiliates cede a portion of their life and health insurance business through reinsurance agreements to AXA Cessions, an AXA affiliated reinsurer. AXA Cessions, in turn, retroceded a quota share portion of these risks to AXA Equitable on a one-year term basis for 2007 and 2006. Premiums earned in 2007 and 2006 under this arrangement totaled approximately $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Both AXA Equitable and AllianceBernstein, along with other AXA affiliates, participate in certain intercompany cost sharing and service agreements including technology and professional development arrangements. AXA Equitable and AllianceBernstein incurred expenses under such agreements of approximately $157.8 million, $143.6 million and $127.5 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Expense reimbursements by AXA and AXA affiliates to AXA Equitable under such agreements totaled approximately $63.0 million, $58.4 million and $53.8 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net receivable related to these contracts was approximately $3.4 million and $25.3 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Commissions, fees and other income included certain revenues for services provided to mutual funds managed by AllianceBernstein. These revenues are described below:
2008 2007 2006 -------------- -------------- --------------- (IN MILLIONS) Investment advisory and services fees.............. $ 870.5 $ 1,027.6 $ 841.0 Distribution revenues.............................. 378.4 473.4 421.0 Other revenues - shareholder servicing fees........ 99.0 103.6 97.2 Other revenues - other............................. 6.9 6.5 6.9 Institutional research services.................... 1.2 1.6 1.9
12) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company (other than AllianceBernstein) sponsors qualified and non-qualified defined benefit plans covering substantially all employees (including certain qualified part-time employees), managers and certain agents. On December 31, 2007, the Company transferred the liability for a non-qualified defined benefit plan to AXA Financial in exchange for a non-cash capital contribution totaling $13.5 million. These pension plans are non-contributory and their benefits are based on a cash balance formula and/or, for certain participants, years of service and final average earnings over a specified period in the plans. AllianceBernstein maintains a qualified, non-contributory, defined benefit retirement plan covering current and former employees who were employed by AllianceBernstein in the United States prior to October 2, 2000. AllianceBernstein's benefits are based on years of credited service and average final base salary. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension and postretirement plans. F-41 The Company made cash contributions to its qualified pension plans of $35.6 million in 2008. Generally, the Company's funding policy (other than AllianceBernstein) is to make an annual aggregate contribution to its qualified pension plans of approximately $30.0 million unless the minimum contribution required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") is greater; no significant cash contributions are expected to be required to satisfy the minimum funding requirements for 2009. AllianceBernstein's policy is to satisfy its funding obligation each year in an amount not less than the minimum required by ERISA and not greater than the maximum it can deduct for federal income tax purposes. AllianceBernstein currently estimates it will make a contribution to its qualified retirement plan of $22 million in 2009. Effective December 31, 2008, AllianceBernstein amended its qualified pension plan to eliminate all future accruals for future services and compensation increases. This amendment was considered a plan curtailment and resulted in a decrease in the Projected Benefit Obligation ("PBO") of approximately $13.1 million, which was offset against existing deferred losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, as a result of all future service being eliminated, AllianceBernstein accelerated recognition of the existing prior service credit of $3.5 million in fourth quarter 2008. Components of net periodic pension expense for the Company's qualified and non-qualified plans were as follows:
2008 2007 2006 ----------------- ---------------- ----------------- (IN MILLIONS) Service cost....................................... $ 41.6 $ 39.0 $ 37.6 Interest cost on PBO............................... 134.1 128.8 122.1 Expected return on assets..........................

(3.5) - - Net amortization and deferrals..................... 42.6 57.5 81.0 ----------------- ---------------- ----------------- Net Periodic Pension Expense....................... $ 20.4 $ 34.3 $ 55.9 ================= ================ =================
The plans' PBO under the Company's qualified and non-qualified plans were comprised of:
DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------ 2008 2007 ---------------- ----------------- (IN MILLIONS) Benefit obligations, beginning of year................................. $ 2,222.1 $ 2,294.3 Service cost........................................................... 33.6 31.0 Interest cost.......................................................... 134.1 128.8 Plan amendments........................................................ - 8.2 Actuarial gains........................................................

(168.0) (166.6) ---------------- ----------------- Benefit Obligations, End of Year....................................... $ 2,181.1 $ 2,222.1 ================ =================
F-42 At December 31, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, requiring recognition, in the consolidated balance sheet, of the funded status of its defined benefit pension plans, measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the PBO. The following table discloses the change in plan assets and the funded status of the Company's qualified and non-qualified plans:
DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------------- 2008 2007 ---------------- ----------------- (IN MILLIONS) Plan assets at fair value, beginning of year.............................. $ 2,415.7 $ 2,396.0 Actual return on plan assets..............................................

Amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets to reflect the funded status of these plans were accrued pension costs of $720.7 million at December 31, 2008 and prepaid and accrued pension costs of $213.5 million and $19.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The aggregate PBOs and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets were $2,181.1 million and $1,460.4 million, respectively at December 31, 2008 and $76.7 million and $56.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The aggregate accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $2,137.7 million and $1,460.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008 and $65.0 million and $56.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The accumulated benefit obligations for all defined benefit pension plans were $2,137.7 million and $2,154.0 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The following table discloses the amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2008 that have not yet been recognized as components of net periodic pension cost:
DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------------- 2008 2007 ------------------- ------------------- (IN MILLIONS) Unrecognized net actuarial loss .................................... $ 1,497.0 $ 575.8 Unrecognized prior service cost (credit)............................ 3.2 (4.9) Unrecognized net transition asset................................... (.6) (.8) ------------------- ------------------- Total ......................................................... $ 1,499.6 $ 570.1 =================== ===================
The estimated net actuarial loss, prior service credit, and net transition asset expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized as components of net periodic pension cost over the next year are $97.3 million, $(4.2) million, and $(.1) million, respectively. The following table discloses the estimated fair value of plan assets and the percentage of estimated fair value to total plan assets for the qualified plans of the Company at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------------------------------- 2008 2007 --------------------------- --------------------------- (IN MILLIONS) ESTIMATED Estimated FAIR VALUE % Fair Value % ---------------- ---------- ----------------- ---------- Corporate and government debt securities........ $ 406.4 27.9 $ 414.3 17.1 Equity securities............................... 790.6 54.1 1,723.7 71.4 Equity real estate.............................. 244.5 16.7 277.7 11.5 Short-term investments ......................... 18.9 1.3 - - ---------------- ---------- ----------------- ---------- Total Plan Assets............................... $ 1,460.4 100.0 $ 2,415.7 100.0 ================ ========== ================= ==========
F-43 Qualified pension plan assets declined approximately $955.3 million from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008, primarily due to the steep decline and volatility in equity markets, particularly during the latter part of 2008. During fourth quarter 2008, a short term hedge program was executed by the AXA Equitable qualified pension plans to minimize further downside equity risk. The primary investment objective of the plans of the Company is to maximize return on assets, giving consideration to prudent risk. The asset allocation was designed with a long-term investment horizon, based on target investment of 65% equities, 25% fixed income and 10% real estate. Emphasis was given to equity investments, given their higher expected rate of return. Fixed income investments are included to provide less volatile return. Real estate investments offer diversity to the total portfolio and long-term inflation protection. In January 2009, the asset allocation strategy of the qualified defined benefit pension plans was revised to target 30%-40% equities, 50%-60% high quality bonds, and 10%-15% real estate and other investments. In anticipation of continued turbulence in the equity markets, management concluded it would be prudent to continue a hedging program for a period of one year, at which time the need for its continuance would be re-evaluated. The assumed discount rates for measurement of the benefit obligations at December 31, 2008 and 2007 each reflect the rates at which pension benefits then could be effectively settled. Specifically at December 31, 2008, projected nominal cash outflows to fund expected annual benefits payments under the Company's qualified and non-qualified pension and postretirement benefit plans were discounted using a published high-quality bond yield curve. The discount rate of 6.50% disclosed below as having been used to measure the benefits obligation at December 31, 2008 represents the level equivalent discount rate that produces the same present value measure of the benefits obligation as the aforementioned discounted cash flow analysis. The following table discloses the weighted-average assumptions used to measure the Company's pension benefit obligations and net periodic pension cost at and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
2008 2007 ------------- ------------- Discount rate: Benefit obligation............................................... 6.50% 6.25% Periodic cost.................................................... 6.25% (1) 5.75% Rate of compensation increase: Benefit obligation and periodic cost............................. 6.00% 6.00% Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets (periodic cost)... 8.50% 8.50%
(1) For plans remeasured in second quarter 2008, periodic cost was recalculated using a discount rate of 6.75% for the remainder of the year. In developing the expected long-term rate of return assumption on plan assets, management considered the historical returns and future expectations for returns for each asset category of the plan portfolio. As noted above, in January 2009, the target asset allocation of the qualified pension plans was changed from the preceding years. Consequently, the long term rate of return assumption to be used for purpose of computing the expected return on plan assets component of pension expense, will be approximately 6.75% to reflect lower expected returns on the reallocated plan asset portfolio. Prior to 1987, the pension plan funded participants' benefits through the purchase of non-participating annuity contracts from AXA Equitable. Benefit payments under these contracts were approximately $17.3 million, $18.9 million and $20.3 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The following table sets forth an estimate of future benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five years, beginning January 1, 2009, and in the aggregate for the five years thereafter. These estimates are based on the same assumptions used to measure the respective benefit obligations at December 31, 2008 and include benefits attributable to estimated future employee service. F-44 PENSION BENEFITS -------------------- (IN MILLIONS) 2009..................... $ 182.1 2010..................... 192.8 2011..................... 194.2 2012..................... 195.5 2013..................... 194.2 Years 2014-2018.......... 953.3 AllianceBernstein maintains several unfunded deferred compensation plans for the benefit of certain eligible employees and executives. The AllianceBernstein Capital Accumulation Plan was frozen on December 31, 1987 and no additional awards have been made. For the active plans, benefits vest over a period ranging from 3 to 8 years and are amortized as compensation and benefit expense. ACMC, Inc. ("ACMC"), a subsidiary of the Company, is obligated to make capital contributions to AllianceBernstein in amounts equal to benefits paid under the Capital Accumulation Plan and the contractual unfunded deferred compensation arrangements. In connection with the acquisition of Bernstein, AllianceBernstein adopted the SCB Deferred Compensation Award Plan ("SCB Plan") and agreed to invest $96.0 million per annum for three years to fund purchases of AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. ("AllianceBernstein Holding") units or an AllianceBernstein sponsored money market fund in each case for the benefit of certain individuals who were stockholders or principals of Bernstein or hired to replace them. The Company has recorded compensation and benefit expenses in connection with these deferred compensation plans totaling $133.1 million, $289.1 million and $243.8 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 13) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AXA and AXA Financial sponsor various share-based compensation plans for eligible employees and associates of AXA Financial and its subsidiaries, including the Company. AllianceBernstein also sponsors its own unit option plans for certain of its employees. Activity in these share-based plans in the discussions that follow relates to awards granted to eligible employees and associates of AXA Financial and its subsidiaries under each of these plans in the aggregate, except where otherwise noted. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company recognized compensation costs for share-based payment arrangements of $33.8 million, $81.2 million and $64.3 million before income taxes and minority interest. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", that required compensation costs for these programs to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a fair value basis. The Company recognized compensation costs of $27.0 million, $38.8 million and $24.8 million for employee stock options for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. On April 1, 2008, approximately 3.0 million options to purchase AXA ordinary shares were granted under the terms of the Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of 21.51 euros. Approximately 2.2 million of those options have a four-year graded vesting schedule, with one-third vesting on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, and approximately 0.8 million have a four-year cliff vesting term. In addition, approximately 0.5 million of the total options awarded on April 1, 2008 are further subject to conditional vesting terms that require the AXA ordinary share price to outperform the Euro Stoxx Insurance Index measured between April 1, 2008 and April 1, 2012. All of the options granted on April 1, 2008 have a ten-year contractual term. Beginning at the grant date, the total fair value of this award, net of expected forfeitures of approximately $14.8 million, is being charged to expense over the shorter of the vesting term or the period up to the date at which the participant becomes retirement eligible. In 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $3.2 million in respect of the April 1, 2008 grant of options. F-45 The number of AXA ADRs authorized to be issued pursuant to option grants and, as further described below, restricted stock grants under The AXA Financial, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") is approximately 124.5 million less the number of shares issued pursuant to option grants under The AXA Financial, Inc. 1991 Stock Incentive Plan (the predecessor plan to the Stock Incentive Plan). A summary of the activity in the AXA, AXA Financial and AllianceBernstein option plans during 2008 follows:

(1) Intrinsic value, presented in millions, is calculated as the excess of the closing market price on December 31, 2008 of the respective underlying shares over the strike prices of the option awards. (2) AllianceBernstein grants totaled 13,825 units in 2008. Cash proceeds received from employee exercises of options to purchase AXA ADRs in 2008 was $113.4 million. The intrinsic value related to employee exercises of options to purchase AXA ADRs during 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $43.5 million, $141.4 million and $132.1 million, respectively, resulting in amounts currently deductible for tax purposes of $14.6 million, $48.0 million and $44.9 million, respectively, for the periods then ended. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, windfall tax benefits of approximately $10.0 million, $34.3 million and $34.8 million, respectively, resulted from employee exercises of stock option awards. At December 31, 2008, AXA Financial held 2.3 million AXA ADRs in treasury at a weighted average cost of approximately $24.91 per ADR, of which approximately 2.1 million were designated to fund future exercises of outstanding employee stock options and the remainder of approximately 0.2 million units was available for general corporate purposes, including funding other stock-based compensation programs. These AXA ADRs were obtained primarily by exercise of call options that had been purchased by AXA Financial beginning in fourth quarter 2004 to mitigate the U.S. dollar price and foreign exchange risks associated with funding exercises of employee stock options. Remaining outstanding and unexercised at December 31, 2008 are call options to purchase 8.6 million AXA ADRs at strike prices ranging from $31.39 to $32.37, each having a cap equal to approximately 150% of its strike price, at which time the option automatically would be exercised. These call options expire on November 23, 2009. During 2008, AXA Financial utilized approximately 2.5 million AXA ADRs from treasury to fund exercises of employee stock options. Outstanding employee options to purchase AXA ordinary shares began to become exercisable on March 29, F-46 2007, coincident with the second anniversary of the first award made in 2005, and exercises of these awards are funded by newly issued AXA ordinary shares. For the purpose of estimating the fair value of employee stock option awards, the Company applies the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. A Monte-Carlo simulation approach was used to model the fair value of the conditional vesting feature of the April 1, 2008 and May 10, 2007 awards of options to purchase AXA ordinary shares. Shown below are the relevant input assumptions used to derive the fair values of options awarded in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For employee stock options with graded vesting terms and service conditions granted on or after January 1, 2006, the Company elected under SFAS No. 123(R) to retain its practice of valuing these as singular awards and to change to the graded-vesting method of attribution, whereby the cost is recognized separately over the requisite service period for each individual one-third of the options vesting on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.

As of December 31, 2008, approximately $54.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested employee stock option awards, net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, is expected to be recognized by the Company over a weighted average period of 5.57 years. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, AXA Financial grants restricted AXA ADRs to employees of its subsidiaries. Generally, all outstanding restricted AXA ADR awards have a 5-year cliff-vesting term. Under The Equity Plan for Directors (the "Equity Plan"), AXA Financial grants non-officer directors restricted AXA ADRs and unrestricted AXA ADRs annually. Similarly, AllianceBernstein awards restricted AllianceBernstein Holding units to independent directors of its General Partner. In addition, under its Century Club Plan, awards of restricted AllianceBernstein Holding units that vest ratably over three years are made to eligible AllianceBernstein employees whose primary responsibilities are to assist in the distribution of company-sponsored mutual funds. On December 19, 2008, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, AllianceBernstein awarded Mr. Kraus, Chairman and CEO of AllianceBernstein, approximately 2.7 million restricted AllianceBernstein Holding Units with a grant date fair value of $19.20 per Unit. These Units vest ratably over a 5-year period. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company recognized compensation costs of $6.1 million, $8.6 million and $5.6 million for awards outstanding under these plans. The fair values of awards made under these plans are measured at the date of grant by reference to the closing price of the unrestricted shares and the result generally is attributed over the shorter of the requisite service period, the performance period, if any, or to the date at which retirement eligibility is achieved and subsequent service no longer is required for continued vesting of the award. F-47 At December 31, 2008, approximately 3.3 million restricted awards remain unvested, including restricted awards of AllianceBernstein Holding units. At December 31, 2008, approximately $56.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to these unvested awards, net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.4 years. Restricted AXA ADRs vested in 2008, 2007 and 2006 had aggregate vesting date fair values of approximately $3.3 million, $7.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively. In 2007, 100,187 restricted AXA ADRs were granted, having an aggregate grant-date fair value of $4.5 million. The following table summarizes unvested restricted AXA ADR activity for 2008.

In January 2001, certain employees exchanged fully vested in-the-money AXA ADR options for tandem Stock Appreciation Rights/AXA ADR non-statutory options ("tandem SARs/NSOs") of then-equivalent intrinsic value. The Company recorded compensation expense for these fully-vested awards of $(5.5) million, zero and $6.1 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, reflecting the impact in those periods of the change in the market price of the AXA ADR on the cash-settlement value of the SARs component of the outstanding tandem SARs/NSOs. The value of these tandem SARs/NSOs at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1.2 million and $17.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2008, 0.4 million tandem SARs/NSOs were outstanding, having weighted average remaining contractual term of 0.6 years, and for which the SARs component had maximum value of $6.2 million. On February 17, 2009, approximately 0.2 million of these tandem SARs/NSOs expired out-of-the-money. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, approximately 0.7 million, 0.4 million and 2.8 million of these awards were exercised at an aggregate cash-settlement value of $9.2 million, $7.2 million and $41.2 million. On April 1, 2008, 66,372 Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") with a 4-year cliff-vesting schedule were granted to certain associates of AXA Financial subsidiaries. These SARs entitle the holder to a cash payment equal to any appreciation in the value of the AXA ordinary share over 21.51 Euros as of the date of exercise. At December 31, 2008, 0.3 million SARs were outstanding, having weighted average remaining contractual term of 7.56 years. The accrued value of SARs at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded compensation expense for SARs of $(2.3) million, $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, reflecting the impact in those periods of the changes in their fair values as determined by applying the Black Scholes-Merton formula and assumptions used to price employee stock option awards. On March 31, 2008, approximately 702,404 performance units earned under the AXA Performance Unit Plan 2006 were fully vested for total value of approximately $24.2 million, including incremental units earned from having exceeded targeted 2007 performance criteria by 0.68%. Distributions to participants were made on April 10, 2008, resulting in cash settlements of approximately 78% of these performance units for aggregate value of approximately $18.6 million and equity settlements of the remainder with approximately 153,494 restricted AXA ADRs for aggregate value of approximately $5.6 million. In 2008, the AXA Management Board awarded 995,031 unearned performance units to employees of AXA Financial subsidiaries. During each year that the performance unit awards are outstanding, a pro-rata portion of the units may be earned based on criteria measuring the performance of AXA and AXA Financial Group. The extent to which performance targets are met determines the number of performance units earned, which may vary between 0% and 130% of the number of performance units at stake. Performance units earned under the 2008 plan cliff-vest on the second anniversary of their date of award. When fully vested, the performance units earned will be settled in cash or, in some cases, a combination of cash (70%) and stock (30%), the latter equity portion having transfer restrictions for a two-year period. The price used to value the 2008 performance units at settlement will be the average opening price of the AXA ordinary share for the last F-48 20 trading days of the vesting period converted to U.S. dollars using the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate on March 31, 2010. For 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $3.5 million in respect of the 2008 grants of performance units. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized compensation costs of $5.5 million, $11.6 million and $25.9 million, respectively, for performance units earned to date. The change in fair value of these awards is measured by the closing price of the underlying AXA ordinary shares or AXA ADRs with adjustment to reflect the impact of expected and actual pre-vesting forfeitures. The cost of performance unit awards are attributed over the shorter of the cliff-vesting period or to the date at which retirement eligibility is achieved. The value of performance units earned and reported in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $17.3 million and $31.1 million, respectively. Approximately 720,872 outstanding performance units are at risk to achievement of 2008 performance criteria, including approximately 50% of the award granted on May 10, 2007. In 2008, eligible employees of AXA Financial's subsidiaries participated in AXA's global offering to purchase newly issued AXA stock, subject to plan limits, under the terms of AXA Shareplan 2008. Similar to the AXA Shareplan programs previously offered in 2001 through 2007, the plan offered two investment alternatives that, with limited exceptions, restrict the sale or transfer of the purchased shares for a period of five years. "Investment Option A" permitted participants to purchase AXA ADRs at a 20% formula discounted price. "Investment Option B" permitted participants to purchase AXA ordinary shares at a 14.25% formula discounted price on a leveraged basis with a guaranteed return of initial investment plus 75% of any appreciation in the value of the total shares purchased. The Company recognized compensation expense of $1.1 million in 2008, $27.7 million in 2007 and $22.1 million in 2006 in connection with each respective year's offering of AXA Shareplan, representing the aggregate discount provided to participants for their purchase of AXA stock under each of those plans, as adjusted for the post-vesting, five-year holding period. Participants in AXA Shareplans 2008, 2007 and 2006 primarily invested under Investment Option B for the purchase of approximately 6.5 million, 5.3 million and 5.0 million AXA ordinary shares, respectively. On July 1, 2007, under the terms of the AXA Miles Program 2007, the AXA Management Board granted 50 AXA Miles to every employee of AXA for purpose of enhancing long-term employee-shareholder engagement. Each AXA Mile represents the right to receive one unrestricted AXA ordinary share on July 1, 2011, conditional only upon continued employment with AXA at the close of the four-year cliff vesting period with exceptions for retirement, death, and disability. For AXA Financial participants, settlement of the right to receive each unrestricted AXA ordinary share will be made in the form of an AXA ADR. The grant date fair value of approximately 449,400 AXA Miles awarded to employees of AXA Financial's subsidiaries was approximately $19.4 million, measured as the market equivalent of a vested AXA ordinary share. Beginning on July 1, 2007, the total fair value of this award, net of expected forfeitures, is expensed over the shorter of the vesting term or to the date at which the participant becomes retirement eligible. For 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $1.9 million and $2.7 million in respect of this grant of AXA Miles. Provided certain performance targets are achieved, an additional allocation of 50 AXA Miles per employee will be considered for award in 2010 and 2011 under terms then-to-be-determined and approved by the AXA Management Board. In 1997, AllianceBernstein Holding established a long-term incentive compensation plan under which unit-based awards are made to key employees for terms established by AllianceBernstein Holding at the time of grant. These awards include options, restricted AllianceBernstein Holding units and phantom restricted AllianceBernstein Holding units, performance awards, and other AllianceBernstein Holding unit based awards. The aggregate number of AllianceBernstein Holding units subject to options granted or otherwise awarded under this plan, as amended in December 2006 to include awards made to select participants under the Special Option Program, may not exceed 41.0 million. At December 31, 2008, approximately 14.2 million options to purchase AllianceBernstein Holding units and 4.1 million other unit awards, net of forfeitures, were subject to the aggregate allowable maximum under this plan.

(1) In 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, AllianceBernstein issued units to its employees under long-term incentive plans. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded non-cash realized gains of $9.9 million, $15.5 million and $28.0 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Writedowns of fixed maturities amounted to $285.9 million, $79.0 million and $27.4 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were no writedowns of mortgage loans on real estate for 2008, 2007 and 2006. There were no writedowns of equity real estate for 2008, 2007 and 2006. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, proceeds received on sales of fixed maturities classified as available for sale amounted to $324.4 million, $1,554.6 million and $1,281.9 million. Gross gains of $3.3 million, $12.6 million and $33.9 million and gross losses of $94.5 million, $20.3 million and $24.5 million, respectively, were realized on these sales. The change in unrealized investment losses related to fixed maturities classified as available for sale for 2008, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $2,525.8 million, $376.4 million and $416.7 million, respectively. F-50 For 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, investment results passed through to certain participating group annuity contracts as interest credited to policyholders' account balances amounted to $47.7 million, $52.7 million and $57.8 million. Changes in unrealized gains (losses) reflect changes in fair value of only those fixed maturities and equity securities classified as available for sale and do not reflect any changes in fair value of policyholders' account balances and future policy benefits. The net unrealized investment gains (losses) included in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the changes for the corresponding years, including Wind-up Annuities on a line-by-line basis, follow:

The Company recognized a net tax benefit in 2006 of $117.7 million related to the settlement of an Internal Revenue Service's ("IRS") audit of the 1997-2001 tax years, partially offset by additional tax reserves established for subsequent tax periods. Of the net tax benefit of $117.7 million, $111.9 million related to the continuing operations and $5.8 million to the discontinued Wind-up Annuities. On August 16, 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-54 that purported to change accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing the computation of the Separate Account dividends received deduction ("DRD"). This ruling was suspended on September 25, 2007 in Revenue Ruling 2007-61 and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") indicated that it would address the computational issues in a regulation project. Any regulations that the Treasury ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other members of the public will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. The ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations are unknown, but they could result in the elimination of some or all of the Separate Account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives. The components of the net deferred income taxes are as follows:

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, the Company recognized a $44.8 million decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 was $371.3 million. Of that total, $276.9 million would affect the effective tax rate and $94.4 million are tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the change in timing of the deduction would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority. At December 31, 2008, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $506.6 million of which $372.6 million would affect the effective rate and $134.0 million was temporary in nature. At December 31, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $412.2 million of which $301.9 million would affect the effective rate and $110.3 million was temporary in nature. F-52 The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. Interest and penalties included in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $77.3 million and $68.6 million, respectively. Tax expense for 2008 and 2007, respectively, reflected $8.7 million and $22.5 million in interest related to unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) follows:

The IRS completed its examination of the Company's 2002 and 2003 Federal corporate income tax returns and issued its Revenue Agent's Report in second quarter 2008. The Company has appealed an issue to the Appeals Office of the IRS. In addition, AllianceBernstein settled various examinations by the state and local tax authorities. The impact of these completed audits on the Company's financial statements was a net benefit of $14.6 million. IRS examinations for years subsequent to 2003 are expected to commence in 2009. It is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months due to the conclusion of the current IRS proceedings and the additions of new issues for open tax years. The possible change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits cannot be estimated at this time. 16) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company's discontinued operations include Wind-up Annuities, equity real estate held-for-sale and disposal of businesses. The following tables reconcile the (Losses) earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes and Gains (losses) on disposal of discontinued operations, net of income taxes to the amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of earnings for the three years ended December 31, 2008:

Disposal of Businesses ---------------------- In accordance with their October 2006 agreement, during 2007, AXA Financial and its subsidiaries, AXA Equitable, Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. ("Enterprise") and Enterprise Fund Distributors, Inc., ("EFD") transferred to Goldman Sachs Asset Management L.P. ("GSAM") assets of the business of serving F-53 as sponsor of and investment manager to 27 of the 31 funds of AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust, AXA Enterprise Funds Trust and The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (collectively, the "AXA Enterprise Funds") and completed the reorganization of such funds to corresponding mutual funds managed by GSAM. In 2008, AXA Financial completed the reorganization and/or liquidation of the remaining four mutual funds in AXA Enterprise Funds of the remaining funds which together had approximately $661.9 million in assets under management as of December 31, 2007. AXA Financial has since entered into agreements to transfer the remaining funds. As a result of management's disposition plan, AXA Enterprise Funds advisory contracts were reported as Discontinued Operations. In 2007 and 2006, respectively, $0.7 million pre-tax ($0.4 million post-tax) and $3.0 million pre-tax ($1.9 million post-tax) of transaction costs were recorded as a result of the disposition of the funds; no additional costs were reported for 2008. Proceeds received in 2007 on the disposition of the AXA Enterprise Funds totaled $26.3 million. In 2008 and 2007, respectively, impairments of zero and $0.7 million pre-tax ($0.4 million post-tax) were recorded on intangible assets associated with AXA Enterprise Funds investment management contracts based upon estimated fair value. At December 31, 2008 and 2007 there were no assets or liabilities related to these operations. Wind-up Annuities In 1991, management discontinued the business of Wind-up Annuities, the terms of which were fixed at issue, which were sold to corporate sponsors of terminated qualified defined benefit plans, and for which a premium deficiency reserve and an allowance for future losses based upon projected future cash flows had been established. The Company's quarterly process for evaluating the need for an allowance for future losses involves comparison of the current period's results of Wind-up Annuities to previous projections and re-estimation of future expected losses, if appropriate, to determine whether an adjustment is required. Investment and benefit cash flow projections are updated annually as part of the Company's annual planning process. The assumptions and estimates for 2006 resulted in a release of the allowance. If the Company's analysis in any given period indicates that an allowance for future losses is not necessary, any current period Wind-up Annuities' operating losses or earnings are recognized as (Losses) earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the consolidated statements of earnings. At December 31, 2008, no allowance for future losses was necessary based upon projections of reasonably assured future net investing and operating cash flows. The determination of projected future cash flows involves numerous estimates and subjective judgments regarding the expected performance of invested assets held by Wind-up Annuities and the expected run-off of Wind-up Annuities liabilities. There can be no assurance the projected future cash flows will not differ from the cash flows ultimately realized. To the extent actual results or future projections of Wind-up Annuities are lower than management's current estimates and assumptions and result in operating losses not being offset by reasonably assured future net investing and operating cash flows, an allowance for future losses may be necessary. In particular, to the extent income, sales proceeds and holding periods for equity real estate differ from management's previous assumptions, establishment of a loss allowance liability may result.

18) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Debt Maturities --------------- At December 31, 2008, aggregate maturities of the long-term debt, including any current portion of long-term debt, based on required principal payments at maturity were none for 2009-2013 and $200.0 million thereafter. Leases ------ The Company has entered into operating leases for office space and certain other assets, principally information technology equipment and office furniture and equipment. Future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases for 2009 and the four successive years are $203.7 million, $199.3 million, $194.7 million, $197.9 million, $205.2 million and $2,356.1 million thereafter. Minimum future sublease rental income on these non-cancelable operating leases for 2009 and the four successive years is $5.3 million, $5.4 million, $4.7 million, $3.3 million, $3.2 million and $10.6 million thereafter. At December 31, 2008, the minimum future rental income on non-cancelable operating leases for wholly owned investments in real estate for 2009 and the four successive years is $102.5 million, $102.7 million, $103.2 million, $105.4 million, $106.6 million and $631.9 million thereafter. The Company has entered into capital leases for certain information technology equipment. Future minimum payments under non-cancelable capital leases for 2009 and the four successive years is $0.9 million, $0.9 million, $0.5 million, $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million thereafter. F-56 Guarantees and Other Commitments -------------------------------- The Company provides certain guarantees or commitments to affiliates, investors and others. At December 31, 2008, these arrangements include commitments by the Company to provide equity financing of $711.3 million to certain limited partnerships under certain conditions. Management believes the Company will not incur material losses as a result of these commitments. AXA Equitable is the obligor under certain structured settlement agreements it had entered into with unaffiliated insurance companies and beneficiaries. To satisfy its obligations under these agreements, AXA Equitable owns single premium annuities issued by previously wholly owned life insurance subsidiaries. AXA Equitable has directed payment under these annuities to be made directly to the beneficiaries under the structured settlement agreements. A contingent liability exists with respect to these agreements should the previously wholly owned subsidiaries be unable to meet their obligations. Management believes the need for AXA Equitable to satisfy those obligations is remote. The Company had $59.8 million of undrawn letters of credit related to reinsurance at December 31, 2008. AXA Equitable had $15.0 million in commitments under existing mortgage loan agreements at December 31, 2008. In February 2002, AllianceBernstein signed a $125.0 million agreement with a commercial bank under which it guaranteed certain obligations of SCBL incurred in the ordinary course of its business in the event SCBL is unable to meet these obligations. During 2008, AllianceBerstein was not required to perform under the agreement and at December 31, 2008 had no liability outstanding in connection with the agreement. 19) LITIGATION A putative class action entitled Stefanie Hirt, et al. v. The Equitable Retirement Plan for Employees, Managers and Agents, et al. was filed in the District Court for the Southern District of New York in August 2001 against The Equitable Retirement Plan for Employees, Managers and Agents (the "Retirement Plan") and The Officers Committee on Benefit Plans of Equitable Life, as Plan Administrator. The action was brought by five participants in the Retirement Plan and purports to be on behalf of "all Plan participants, whether active or retired, their beneficiaries and Estates, whose accrued benefits or pension benefits are based on the Plan's Cash Balance Formula". The complaint challenged the change, effective January 1, 1989, in the pension benefit formula from a final average pay formula to a cash balance formula. Plaintiffs alleged that the change to the cash balance formula violated ERISA by reducing the rate of accruals based on age, failed to comply with ERISA's notice requirements and improperly applied the formula to retroactively reduce accrued benefits. The relief sought includes a declaration that the cash balance plan violated ERISA, an order enjoining the enforcement of the cash balance formula, reformation and damages. In April 2002, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to certify a class of "all Plan participants, whether active or retired, their beneficiaries and Estates, whose accrued benefits or pension benefits are based on the Plan's Cash Balance Formula". Also in April 2002, plaintiffs agreed to dismiss with prejudice their claim that the change to the cash balance formula violated ERISA by improperly applying the formula to retroactively reduce accrued benefits. That claim was dismissed. In March 2003, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint elaborating on the remaining claims in the original complaint and adding additional class and individual claims alleging that the adoption and announcement of the cash balance formula and the subsequent announcement of changes in the application of the cash balance formula failed to comply with ERISA. By order dated May 2003, the District Court, as requested by the parties, certified the case as a class action, including a sub-class of all current and former Plan participants, whether active, inactive or retired, their beneficiaries or estates, who were subject to a 1991 change in application of the cash balance formula. In September 2006, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants. The court ruled that (a) the cash balance provisions of the Equitable Plan do not violate the age discrimination provisions of ERISA, (b) while the notice of plan changes provided to participants in 1990 was not adequate, the notice of plan changes provided to participants in 1992 satisfied the ERISA notice requirements regarding delivery and content, and (c) the claims of the named plaintiffs are barred by statute of limitations. The Court found that other individual class members were not precluded from asserting claims for additional benefit accruals from January 1991 through January 1993 to the extent that such individuals could show that the statute of limitations did not bar their claims. In October 2006, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal and defendants filed a cross appeal. In July 2008, the Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's decision that the cash balance plan does not violate the age discrimination provisions of ERISA and that plaintiffs' claims also were barred by the statute of limitations. F-57 In September 2008, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiffs motion for rehearing. The time for plaintiffs to make an appeal to the United States Supreme Court has expired. In April 2004, a purported nationwide class action lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court for Madison County, Illinois entitled Matthew Wiggenhorn v. Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. The lawsuit alleges that AXA Equitable uses stale prices for the foreign securities within the investment divisions of its variable insurance products. The complaint further alleges that AXA Equitable's use of stale pricing diluted the returns of the purported class. The complaint also alleges that AXA Equitable breached its fiduciary duty to the class by allowing market timing in general within AXA Equitable's variable insurance products, thereby diluting the returns of the class. In June 2005, this case was transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the U.S. District Court in Maryland, where other market-timing related litigation is pending. In June 2005, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. In July 2005, AXA Equitable filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. In June 2006, AXA Equitable's motion to dismiss the amended complaint was granted and, in June 2006, plaintiff appealed. As of April 2007, the appeal was fully briefed. In October 2008, oral arguments on the appeal were held. In January 2009, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's decision to dismiss the amended complaint. A putative class action entitled Eagan et al. v. AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company was filed in the District Court for the Central District of California in December 2006 against AXA Equitable as plan sponsor and fiduciary for an ERISA retiree health plan. The action was brought by two plan participants on behalf of all past and present employees and agents who received retiree medical benefits from AXA Equitable at any time after January 1, 2004, or who will receive such benefits in 2006 or later, excluding certain retired agents. Plaintiffs allege that AXA Equitable's adoption of a revised version of its retiree health plan in 1993 (the "1993 Plan") was not authorized or effective. Plaintiffs contend that AXA Equitable has therefore breached the retiree health plan by imposing the terms of the 1993 Plan on plaintiffs and other retirees. Plaintiffs allege that, even if the 1993 Plan is controlling, AXA Equitable has violated the terms of the retiree health plan by imposing health care costs and coverages on plaintiffs and other retirees that are not authorized under the 1993 Plan. Plaintiffs also allege that AXA Equitable breached fiduciary duties owed to plaintiffs and retirees by allegedly misrepresenting and failing to disclose information to them. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, restitution and injunctive relief prohibiting AXA Equitable from violating the terms of the applicable plan, together with interest and attorneys' fees. In March 2007, AXA Equitable filed a motion to dismiss. In July 2007, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that (i) redefined the scope of the class to now include all retired employee and independent contractor agents formerly employed by AXA Equitable who received medical benefits after December 1, 2000 or who will receive such benefits in the future, excluding certain retired agents, and (ii) eliminated the claim based on a breach of fiduciary duty and certain claims related to health care costs. In September 2007, AXA Equitable filed its answer to the amended complaint. The original trial date of May 2009 has been stayed, and the Court has not set a new trial date. In January 2009, AXA Equitable filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In February 2009, the Court denied AXA Equitable's motion to dismiss the complaint. AXA Equitable and/or AXA Advisors LLC is currently the subject of four putative class actions pending in Federal court alleging certain wage and hour violations with regard to certain sales personnel. The cases were filed between July 2006 and September 2007. Each of the cases seek substantially the same relief under essentially the same theories of recovery: violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act for failure to pay minimum wage and overtime and violation of similar provisions under state labor laws in the respective states. In September 2007, the parties agreed to consolidate all four pending cases in the Northern District of California. The cases include the following: Meola v. AXA Advisors and AXA Equitable; Lennon v. AXA Advisors, et al.; Bolea v. AXA Advisors, LLC and AXA Equitable, et. al.; and Dhruv v. AXA Advisors, LLC, et al. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, restitution of all wages improperly withheld or deducted, punitive damages, penalties, and attorneys' fees. In February 2009, the parties filed a proposed settlement agreement with the Court. In March 2009, the Court preliminarily denied without prejudice the parties' motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. The Court requested that the parties refile the motion revising certain portions of the proposed notices by the end of March 2009. F-58 ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN LITIGATION Market Timing-Related Matters In October 2003, a purported class action complaint entitled Hindo, et al. v. AllianceBernstein Growth & Income Fund, et al. ("Hindo Complaint") was filed against AllianceBernstein, AllianceBernstein Holding, AllianceBernstein Corporation, AXA Financial, certain investment company funds (the "U.S. Funds") distributed by AllianceBernstein Investments, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AllianceBernstein, the registrants and issuers of those funds, certain officers of AllianceBernstein (the "AllianceBernstein defendants"), and certain other unaffiliated defendants, as well as unnamed Doe defendants. The Hindo Complaint alleges that certain defendants failed to disclose that they improperly allowed certain hedge funds and other unidentified parties to engage in "late trading" and "market timing" of U.S. Fund securities, violating various securities laws. Following October 2003, additional lawsuits making factual allegations generally similar to those in the Hindo Complaint were filed in various Federal and state courts against AllianceBernstein and certain other defendants. In September 2004, plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints with respect to four claim types: mutual fund shareholder claims; mutual fund derivative claims; derivative claims brought on behalf of AllianceBernstein Holding; and claims brought under ERISA by participants in the Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of AllianceBernstein. In April 2006, AllianceBernstein and attorneys for the plaintiffs in the mutual fund shareholder claims, mutual fund derivative claims, and ERISA claims entered into a confidential memorandum of understanding containing their agreement to settle these claims. The agreement will be documented by a stipulation of settlement and will be submitted for court approval at a later date. The settlement amount ($30 million), which AllianceBernstein previously accrued and disclosed, has been disbursed. The derivative claims brought on behalf of AllianceBernstein Holding, in which plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages, remain pending. ----------------------------------- Although the outcome of litigation generally cannot be predicted with certainty, management intends to vigorously defend against the allegations made by the plaintiffs in the actions described above and believes that the ultimate resolution of the litigations described above involving AXA Equitable and/or its subsidiaries should not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. Management cannot make an estimate of loss, if any, or predict whether or not any of the litigations described above will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations in any particular period. In addition to the type of matters described above, a number of lawsuits have been filed against life and health insurers in the jurisdictions in which AXA Equitable and its respective insurance subsidiaries do business involving insurers' sales practices, alleged agent misconduct, alleged failure to properly supervise agents, contract administration and other matters. Some of the lawsuits have resulted in the award of substantial judgments against other insurers, including material amounts of punitive damages, or in substantial settlements. In some states, juries have substantial discretion in awarding punitive damages. AXA Equitable and AXA Life, like other life and health insurers, from time to time are involved in such litigations. Some of these actions and proceedings filed against AXA Equitable and its subsidiaries have been brought on behalf of various alleged classes of claimants and certain of these claimants seek damages of unspecified amounts. While the ultimate outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management no such matter is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, it should be noted that the frequency of large damage awards, including large punitive damage awards that bear little or no relation to actual economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given matter. F-59 20) INSURANCE GROUP STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION AXA Equitable is restricted as to the amounts it may pay as dividends to AXA Financial. Under the New York Insurance Law, a domestic life insurer may, without prior approval of the Superintendent, pay a dividend to its shareholders not exceeding an amount calculated based on a statutory formula. Payment of dividends in 2009 would require the insurer to file notice of its intent to declare such dividends with the Superintendent who then has 30 days to disapprove the distribution. This formula would not permit AXA Equitable to pay shareholder dividends during 2009. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Insurance Group statutory net (loss) income totaled $(1,074.8) million, $605.8 million and $532.3 million, respectively. Statutory surplus, capital stock and Asset Valuation Reserve ("AVR") totaled $3,588.1 million and $7,812.0 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In both 2007 and 2006, AXA Equitable paid shareholder dividends of $600.0 million; no dividends were paid in 2008. At December 31, 2008, AXA Equitable, in accordance with various government and state regulations, had $59.5 million of securities on deposit with such government or state agencies. In fourth quarter 2008, AXA Equitable issued two $500.0 million surplus notes to AXA Financial. The notes, both of which mature on December 1, 2018, have a fixed interest rate of 7.1%. The accrual and payment of interest expense and principal related to surplus notes require approval from the State of New York Insurance Department (the "NYID"). Interest expense in 2009 will approximate $71.0 million. At December 31, 2008 and for the year then ended, there were no differences in net income and capital and surplus resulting from practices prescribed and permitted by the NYID and those prescribed by NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures effective at December 31, 2008. Accounting practices used to prepare statutory financial statements for regulatory filings of stock life insurance companies differ in certain instances from U.S. GAAP. The differences between statutory surplus and capital stock determined in accordance with Statutory Accounting Principles ("SAP") and total shareholder's equity under U.S. GAAP are primarily: (a) the inclusion in SAP of an AVR intended to stabilize surplus from fluctuations in the value of the investment portfolio; (b) future policy benefits and policyholders' account balances under SAP differ from U.S. GAAP due to differences between actuarial assumptions and reserving methodologies; (c) certain policy acquisition costs are expensed under SAP but deferred under U.S. GAAP and amortized over future periods to achieve a matching of revenues and expenses; (d) under SAP, income taxes are provided on the basis of amounts currently payable with limited recognition of deferred tax assets while under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxes are recorded for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities where the probability of realization is reasonably assured; (e) the valuation of assets under SAP and U.S. GAAP differ due to different investment valuation and depreciation methodologies, as well as the deferral of interest-related realized capital gains and losses on fixed income investments; (f) the valuation of the investment in AllianceBernstein and AllianceBernstein Holding under SAP reflects a portion of the market value appreciation rather than the equity in the underlying net assets as required under U.S. GAAP; (g) the provision for future losses of the discontinued Wind-Up Annuities business as only required under U.S. GAAP; (h) reporting the surplus notes as a component of surplus in SAP but as a liability in U.S. GAAP; (i) computer software development costs are capitalized under U.S. GAAP but expensed under SAP; and (j) certain assets, primarily pre-paid assets, are not admissible under SAP but are admissible under U.S. GAAP. The following reconciles the Insurance Group's statutory change in surplus and capital stock and statutory surplus and capital stock determined in accordance with accounting practices prescribed by the NYID with net earnings and shareholder's equity on a U.S. GAAP basis.
