THE SECTION TITLED "DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS" IS REPLACED BY THE FOLLOWING:

     Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation ("PEPCO") acts as the principal
     underwriter of the Contracts. Contracts may be purchased through
     representatives of WS Griffith Securities, Inc., formerly W.S. Griffith &
     Company ("WSG.") licensed to sell PHL Variable Annuity Contracts. PEPCO and
     WSG are registered as broker-dealers under the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934 and are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
     Inc. (the "NASD"). PHL Variable is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of
     Phoenix Life Insurance Company ("Phoenix"). PEPCO and WSG are indirect,
     wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Phoenix Companies, and are affiliates of
     the Company and of Phoenix.

     PEPCO enters into selling agreements with other broker-dealers or entities
     registered under or exempt under the Securities Act of 1934 ("selling
     brokers"). The Contracts are sold through agents who are licensed by state
     insurance officials to sell the Contracts and who are also registered
     representatives of selling brokers or WSG. Contracts with the MVA option
     are offered in states where we have received authority and the MVA and the
     Contracts have been approved. The maximum dealer concession that a selling
     broker will receive for selling a Contract is 7.25%.
