            Guaranteed Period(s) . The Guaranteed
            Rates are effective annual rates of
            return. That is, interest is credited

            Guaranteed Interest Rate over the
            period of a year. No Guaranteed Rate
            will ever be less than the Minimum
            Guaranteed Interest Rate shown on
            Contract Schedule I.

            specified period within the Guaranteed
            Period. There may be different
            Guaranteed Rate(s) declared at the
            beginning of the Deposit Period for
            subsequent specified time intervals
            throughout the Guaranteed Period.
 
1.18   Guaranteed Period:       The period of time for which Guaranteed
            Rates are guaranteed on the Net
            Purchase Payment and Reinvestments made
            during a current Deposit Period. Such
            period begins on the day following the
            close of the Deposit Period and ends on
            the designated Maturity Date.
            Guaranteed Periods are offered at
            Aetna's discretion for various lengths
            of time ranging up to and including
            ten (10) years.                
 
            During a Deposit Period, Aetna may make
            available any number of Guaranteed
            Periods. The Certificate Holder may

            Reinvestment into any or all of the
            available Guaranteed Periods.
 
1.19   Guaranteed Period Groups:       All Guaranteed Periods with the same

of the same duration. If a Guaranteed

writing a reinvestment of the Matured
Period Value in a different Guaranteed
Period(s) or a surrender of all or a

    (Cont'd)                        
        i   is the Deposit Period Yield
        j   is the Current Yield    
        x   is the number of days
remaining, (computed from
           

 


                Wednesday of the week of
withdrawal) in the Guaranteed
Period.
               
               
 
            The Deposit Period Yield will be
determined as follows:
           
 
            (a)   At the close of the last business
day of each week of the Deposit
Period, a yield will be computed
as the average of the yields on
that day of U. S. Treasury Notes
which mature in the last three
months of the Guaranteed Period.
               
               
               
               
               
               
 
            (b)   The Deposit Period Yield is the
average of those yields for the
Deposit Period. If withdrawal is
made before the close of the
Deposit Period, it is the average
of those yields on each week
preceding withdrawal.
               
               
               
               
               
               
 
            The Current Yield is the average of the
yields on the last business day of the
week preceding withdrawal on the same
U. S. Treasury Notes included in the
Deposit Period Yield.
           
           
           
           
 
            In the event that no U. S. Treasury
Notes which mature in the last three
months of the Guaranteed Period exist,
Aetna reserves the right to use the
U. S. Treasury Notes that mature in the
following quarter.
           
           
           
           
           
 
3.03   Notice to the Certificate       The Certificate Holder will receive
statements at least annually from Aetna
showing the value of any amounts held
in the AMG Account.
    Holder:      
           
           
 
            Such values will be as of a specific
date no more than 60 days before the
date of the notice.
           
           
 
3.04   Loans:       Loans are not available under this
Contract.
           
 
3.05   Systematic Withdrawal       The Certificate Holder may elect a
distribution option under which a
portion of the Account's Current Value
will automatically be surrendered and
distributed each year. SWO payments
will be calculated based on the
Account's full Current Value. The
distributed amount is withdrawn pro
rata from each Guaranteed Period(s) . A
Surrender Fee will not be deducted from
any portion of the Current Value which
is paid as a distribution under SWO.
    Option (SWO):      
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
 
            Certificate Holders should consult
their tax adviser prior to requesting
this distribution option.
           
           
 
            (a)   Amount of Distribution: The
Certificate Holder may elect one
of the three payment methods
described below.
               
               
               
 
G1-MGA-95   12                            
                                   
3.05   Systematic Withdrawal           (1) Specified Payment: Payments
of a designated dollar
amount. The annual amount may
not be greater than the
percentage shown on Contract
Schedule I times the Current
Value at time of election.
This annual dollar amount
will remain constant. At its
discretion, Aetna may require
a minimum initial payment
amount;
    Option (SWO):          
    (Cont'd)          
               
               
               
               
               
               
               
               
               
 
                (2) Specified Period: Payments
which are made over a period
of time which must be at
least 10 years. The annual
amount paid each year is
               
               
               
               

 


            calculated by dividing the
Current Value as of December
31 of the prior year by the
number of payment years
remaining; or
           
           
           
           
 
        (3)   Specified Percentage: Payment
of a designated percentage
which cannot be greater than
the percentage shown on
Contract Schedule I. The
percentage may be changed by
written request. Aetna
reserves the right to limit
the number of times the
percentage may be changed.
The annual amount is
calculated by multiplying the
Current Value as of December
31 of the year prior to the
payment by the designated
percentage.
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
 
        Payments upon the Certificate Holder's
or Annuitant's death will be made to
the Beneficiary in the manner described
in 3.07.
       
       
       
 
        (b) Minimum Initial Current Value: At
its discretion, Aetna may require
a minimum initial Current Value
for election of this option. If
after election of this option the
Current Value is insufficient to
make a scheduled SWO payment,
Aetna will distribute the entire
Account balance.
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
 
        (c) Date of Distribution: The
Certificate Holder shall specify
the initial distribution date. As
elected by the Certificate Holder,
SWO payments will be made on a
monthly or quarterly basis unless
Aetna allows otherwise. If SWO
payments are made more frequently
than annually, the designated
annual amount is divided by the
number of payments due each
calendar year. Subsequent
distributions will be made on the
15th of any month or such other
date as Aetna may designate or
allow.
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
 
        (d) Election and Revocation: SWO may
be elected by submitting a
completed and signed election form
to Aetna's Home Office. Aetna
reserves the right to establish
the date when SWO may first be
elected by a Certificate Holder.
Once elected, this option may be
revoked by the Certificate Holder
or spousal Beneficiary, if elected
after the Certificate Holder's
death, by submitting a written
request to Aetna at its Home
Office. Any revocation will apply
only to amounts not yet paid. SWO
may be elected only once by the
Certificate Holder or by the
spousal Beneficiary.

3.06 Death Benefit Amount:       If the Certificate Holder or Annuitant
dies before Annuity payments start, the
Beneficiary is entitled to a death
benefit under the Account. If the
Account is owned jointly, the death
benefit is paid at the first death of
either of the joint Certificate
Holders. If the Account is held by
joint Certificate Holders, the survivor
will be deemed the designated
Beneficiary and any other Beneficiary
on record will be treated as the
contingent Beneficiary. If the
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       

 


    Certificate Holder is a nonnatural
person, the death benefit will be
payable at the death of the Annuitant.
   
   
 
    If paid within 6 months of the date of
the Annuitant's death, the death
benefit will be the Current Value of
the Account. Otherwise, the death
benefit will be the Adjusted Current
Value of the Account determined as of
the claim date. The claim date is the
date when proof of death and the
Beneficiary's claim are received in
good order at Aetna's Home Office.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
 
    When the Certificate Holder dies, and
the Certificate Holder is not the
Annuitant, the death benefit payable
will be subject to a Surrender Fee, if
applicable.
   
   
   
   
 
3.07 Death Benefit Options   Prior to any election, or until amounts
must be otherwise distributed under
this section, the Current Value of the
Account will be retained in the
Account. The following options are
available to the Beneficiary:
available to Beneficiary:  
   
   
   
   
 
    (a)   When the Certificate Holder dies

Certificate Holder's
surviving spouse, the
Beneficiary may exercise all
Certificate Holder rights
under the Contract and
continue in the Accumulation
Period, or may elect (i) or
(ii) below. Distributions
from the Account are not
required until the spousal
Beneficiary's death. The
spousal Beneficiary may elect
to:
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
 
            (i) Apply some or all of the
death benefit amount to
an Annuity option 1, 2
or 3 (see 4.04); or
           
           
           
 
            (ii) Receive, at any time, a
lump sum payment equal
to the death benefit
amount.
           
           
           
 
        (2)   If the Beneficiary is an
individual who is not the
Certificate Holder's
surviving spouse, then
options (i) or (ii) under (1)
above apply. Any portion of
the death benefit amount not
applied to Annuity option 1,
2 or 3 within one year of the
Certificate Holder's death,
must be distributed within
five years of the date of
death.

designated, a lump sum
payment equal to the death
benefit amount will be made
to the Certificate Holder's
estate.
available to Beneficiary:          
(Cont'd)          
           
           
           
 
    (b)   If the Certificate Holder is a
natural person but is not the
Annuitant, and the Annuitant dies,
the Beneficiary may elect either
       
       
       

 


        to apply the death benefit amount
to Annuity option 1, 2, or 3
within 60 days of the Annuitant's
date of death, or to receive a
lump sum payment.
       
       
       
       
 
3.08   Liquidation of Surrender   All or any portion of the Account's
Current Value may be surrendered at any
time prior to the Annuity Date.
Surrender requests can be submitted as
a percentage to the Account value or as
a specific dollar amount. Net Purchase
Payment amounts are withdrawn first,
and then the excess value, if any. For
any partial surrender, amounts are
withdrawn on a pro rata basis from the
Guaranteed Period(s) Groups of the AMG
Account in which the Current Value is
invested. Within a Guaranteed Period
Group, the amount to be surrendered
will be withdrawn first from the oldest
Deposit Period, then from the next
oldest, and so on until the amount
requested is satisfied.
    Value:  
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
 
        After deduction of the Maintenance Fee
and any Premium Tax, if applicable, the
surrendered amount shall be reduced by
a Surrender Fee, if applicable. An MVA
may apply to amounts surrendered.
       
       
       
       

 

3.09   Surrender Fee:   The Surrender Fee only applies to the
Net Purchase Payment portion
surrendered and varies according to the
elapsed time from the certificate
effective date (see Contract Schedule I.)
       
       
       
       
 
        No Surrender Fee is deducted from any
portion of the Current Value which is
paid:
       
       
 
        (a)   To a Beneficiary due to the
Annuitant's death before Annuity
payments start (see 3.06);
           
           
 
        (b)   As a premium for an Annuity option
1, 2 or 3 under this Contract (see
4.04);
           
           

 

        (c)   As a distribution under the SWO
provision (see 3.05);
           
 
        (d)   At least 12 months after the date
of the Purchase Payment, in an
amount equal to or less than the
special withdrawal percentage
shown on Contract Schedule I times
the Current Value at the time of
the withdrawl. This applies to the
first surrender request, partial
or full, in a calendar year. The
Current Value is calculated as of
the date the surrender request is
received in good order at Aetna's
Home Office. This waiver is not
available to the Certificate
Holder while SWO is in effect;
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
 
        (e)   For a full surrender of the
Account where the Current Value of
the Account is $2,500 or less and
no surrenders have been taken from
the Account within the prior 12
months;
           
           
           
           
           
 
        (f)   Upon withdrawl of any Matured
Period Value; or

3.09   Surrender Fee:   (g)   By Aetna under 3.11.    
    (Cont'd)                    
 
3.10   Payment of Surrender   Under certain emergency conditions,
as allowed by law, Aetna may defer
payment for a period of up to 6 months.
    Value:  
       
 
3.11   Payment of Adjusted   Upon 90 days' written notice to the
Certificate Holder, Aetna will

Value becomes less than $2,500
immediately following any partial
surrender. A Surrender Fee will not be
deducted from the Adjusted Current
Value.
       
       
       
       
       
 
IV. ANNUITY PROVISIONS                            
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
4.01   Choices to be Made:   The Certificate Holder may tell Aetna
to apply any portion of the Adjusted
Current Value (minus any premium tax)
for an Annuity under option 1, 2 or 3
(see 4.04) . The first Annuity payment
may not be earlier than twelve months
after the Purchase Payment. At least 30
days prior to the Annuity Date, the
Certificate Holder must tell Aetna
which Annuity option is elected.
Annuity payments will be made monthly,
unless the Certificate Holder elects
otherwise in writing.
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
 
        In lieu of the election of an Annuity,
the Certificate Holder may elect a lump
sum payment.
       
       
 
        The Annuity purchase rate for the
option chosen reflects the Minimum
Guaranteed Interest Rate (see Contract
Schedule II), but may reflect a higher
interest rate.
       
       
       
       
 
4.02   Terms of Annuity Options   (a)   When payments start, the age of
the Annuitant plus the number of
years for which payments are
guaranteed must not exceed 95.
           
           
           
 
        (b)   An Annuity option may not be
elected if the first payment would
be less than $50 or if the total
payments in a year would be less
than $250 (less if required by
state law) . Aetna reserves the
right to increase the minimum
first Annuity payment amount and
the annual minimum Annuity payment
amount based upon increases
reflected in the Consumer Price
Index-Urban, (CPI-U) since July 1,
1993.
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
           
 
        (c)   If an Annuity under option 1, 2 or
3 is chosen and a larger payment
would result from applying the
Surrender Value to a current Aetna
single premium immediate Annuity,
Aetna will make the larger
payment.
           
           
           
           
           
           
 
        (d)   For purposes of calculating the
guaranteed first payment of an
Annuity, the Annuitant's and
second Annuitant's adjusted age
will be used. The Annuitant's and
second Annuitant's adjusted age is
his or her age as of the birthday
closest to the Annuity
commencement date reduced by one
year for Annuity commencement
dates occurring during the period
of time

4.02   Terms of Annuity Options       through December 31, 1999. The
Annuitant's and second Annuitant's
age will be reduced by two years
for Annuity commencement dates
occurring during the period of
time from January 1, 2000 through
December 31, 2009. The Annuitant's
and second Annuitant's age will be
reduced by one additional year for
Annuity commencement dates
occurring in each succeeding
decade.

            The Annuity purchase rates for
options 2 and 3 are based on
mortality from 1983 Table a.
           
           
 
        (e)   Once elected, an Annuity option
may not be revoked and Annuity
payments cannot be commuted to a
lump sum.
           
           
           
 
4.03   Death of Annuitant/   If the Annuitant dies after Annuity
payments have begun, the death benefit,
if any, will be payable to the
Beneficiary as specified in the Annuity
option elected. Death benefits will be
paid at least as rapidly as under the
method of distribution in effect at the
Annuitant's death.
    Beneficiary:  
       
       
       
       
       
       
 
        If the Certificate Holder who is not
the Annuitant dies after Annuity
payments have begun, any remaining
payments under the Annuity option
elected will be made to the Beneficiary
at least as rapidly as under the method
of distribution in effect at the
Certificate Holder's death.
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
 
        If the Account is held by joint
Certificate Holders, the survivor will
be deemed the designated Beneficiary
and any other Beneficiary on record
will be treated as the contingent
Beneficiary.
       
       
       
       
       
 
        Aetna will require proof of death.
 
4.04   Annuity Options:   Option 1 -- Payments for a Stated
Period of Time -- An Annuity will be
paid for the number of years chosen.
The number of years must be at least 10
and not more than 30.
       
       
       
       
 
        If a nonspouse Beneficiary elects this
option at the death of the Certificate
Holder, the period selected may not
extend beyond the Beneficiary's life
expectancy.
       
       
       
       
 
        Option 2 -- Life Income -- An Annuity

        Option 3 -- Life Income Based upon the
Lives of Two Annuitants -- An Annuity
will be paid during the lives of the
Annuitant and a second Annuitant.
Payments will continue until both
Annuitants have died. When this option
is chosen, one of the following choices
must be made:
