    Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company      
 
Endorsement
 
This Contract or Certificate is endorsed as follows.      
 
The following provisions apply to a Contract which qualifies as an Individual
Retirement Annuity under Internal Revenue Code (Code) Section 408(b). In the
case of a conflict with any provision in the Contract, the provisions of this
Endorsement control.
 
1. The Certificate Holder and the Annuitant must be the same person. Joint
Certificate Holders are not permitted.
 
 
2. The Certificate Holder's Account and the Certificate Holder's rights under
the Contract are not transferable. The Certificate Holder may not sell,
assign, transfer, pledge or use as collateral for a loan or as security
for the performance of an obligation or for any other purpose, his or her
interest in the Contract to any person other than the issuer of the
Contract.
 
 
 
 
 
 
3. The Certificate Holder's entire interest in the Contract is
nonforfeitable.
 
 
4. The Certificate Holder's Account is established for the exclusive benefit
of the Certificate Holder or his or her Beneficiary(ies).
 
 
5. The Purchase Payment under this Contract must be a cash rollover amount
under Code Section 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(3)(8), or 408(d)(3). Aetna
may require verification that a rollover amount qualifies as such under
the Code. Payments to Simplified Employee Pension plans and annual
deductible and nondeductible contributions to Individual Retirement
Annuities are not accepted under the Contract.
 
 
 
 
 
 
6. The entire interest of the Certificate Holder will be distributed, or
begin to be distributed, no later than the first day of April following
the calendar year in which the Certificate Holder attains age 70 1/2
(required beginning date), over:
 
 
 
 
  (a) The life of the Certificate Holder, or the lives of the Certificate
Holder and his or her designated Beneficiary, or
   
 
  (b) A period certain not extending beyond the life expectancy of the
Certificate Holder or the joint and last survivor expectancy of the Certificate Holder and his or her designated Beneficiary.
   
 
  Payments must be made in period payments at intervals of no longer than
one year. In addition, payments must be either nonincreasing or they may
increase only as provided in Question and Answer F-3 of Section
1.401(a)(9)-1 of the Proposed Income Tax Regulations.
 
 
 
 
  All distributions made hereunder shall be made in accordance with the
requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including the incidental
death benefit requirements of Section 401(a)(9)(G) of the Code, and the
regulations thereunder, including the minimum distribution incidental
benefit requirements of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Proposed Income Tax
Regulations.
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Life expectancy is computed by use of the expected return multiples in
Table V and VI of Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations. Life
expectancy for distributions under an Annuity Option may not be
recalculated.
 
 
 
 
 
E1-MGAIRA-95-2     1        
               
 
7. If distributions are to be made under the Systematic Withdrawal Option
(SWO) after the required beginning date, a higher amount will be
distributed in any year if required under the minimum distribution
requirements of the Code. The minimum amount to be distributed each year,
beginning with the first calendar year for which distributions are
required and then for each succeeding calendar year, shall not be less
than the quotient obtained by dividing the Current Value as of December 31
of the prior year by the lesser of (1) the applicable life expectancy or
(2) if the Certificate Owner's spouse is not the designated Beneficiary,
the applicable divisor determined from the table set forth in Question and
Answer 4 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Proposed Income Tax Regulations.
For purposes of this determination, life expectancy for the initial
distribution year will be calculated based on single life expectancy from
Table V or VI of Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations.
Distributions for any subsequent year shall be calculated based on such
life expectancy reduced by one for each calendar year which has elapsed
since the calendar year life expectancy was first calculated.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
8. During the Accumulation Period, the Certificate Holder may elect the
Estate Conservation Option (ECO) to receive automatic annual withdrawals
of the minimum distribution required under the Code. The annual
distribution amount will be determined by dividing the Current Value as of
 
 
 

 


 

  December 31 of the prior year by the lesser of (1) the applicable life
expectancy recalculated each year in accordance with Question and Answer
E-8 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-1 of the Proposed Income Tax Regulations, or
(2) if the Certificate Holder's spouse is not the designated Beneficiary,
the applicable divisor determined from the table set forth in Question and
Answer 4 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Proposed Income Tax Regulations.
For purposes of this determination, life expectancy for the initial
distribution year will be calculated based on the applicable life
expectancy from Table V or VI of Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax
Regulations.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Aetna will not impose a Surrender Fee on any portion of the Current Value
which is paid as an ECO distribution. The Surrender Fee, if applicable,
will apply to any additional amounts withdrawn while ECO is in effect.
 
 
 
  The Certificate Holder may elect ECO beginning with the year he or she
turns age 70 1/2, but not earlier than 12 months after receipt of the
Purchase Payment, by submitting a properly completed election form to
Aetna's Home Office. Aetna may require a minimum initial Current Value for
the election of ECO.
 
 
 
 
 
  The Certificate Holder, or a spousal Beneficiary if ECO is elected after
the Certificate Holder's death, may revoke ECO at any time by submitting a
written request to Aetna's Home Office. If ECO is revoked, it may not
begin again until 36 months have elapsed.
 
 
 
 
9. At the death of the Certificate Holder:        
 
  (a) If the Certificate Holder dies on or after distribution of his or
her interest has begun, the remaining portion of such interest, if
any, will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution being used prior to the Certificate
Holder's death;
   
   
   
   
 
  (b) If the Certificate Holder dies before distribution of his or her
interest begins, the death benefit payable to the Beneficiary will
be distributed no later than December 31 of the calendar year which
contains the fifth anniversary of the date of the Certificate
Holder's death except to the extent that an election is made to
receive distribution under an Annuity option in accordance with (i)
or (ii) below.
   
   
   
   
   
   
 
    (i) Distributions to the Beneficiary may be made in installments
over the life of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending
beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary commencing no
later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately
following the calendar year in which the Certificate Holder
died.
     
     
     
     
     
 
       (ii) If the Beneficiary is the Certificate Holder's survivingspouse, and distributions are to be made in accordance with (i)
above, distributions must begin on or before the later of
December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the
calendar year in which the Certificate Holder died or December
31 of the calendar year in which the Certificate Holder would
have attained age 70 1/2.
     
     
     
     
     
 
E1-MGAIRA-95-2       2          
                   
 
  A spousal Beneficiary may elect an Annuity option, a lump sum payment or
treat the Certificate Holder's Account as his or her own IRA. This
election will be deemed to have been made if such surviving spouse makes a
rollover to or from such Certificate Holder's Account, or fails to elect
any of the above provisions.
 
 
 
 
 
  Life expectancy is computed by use of the expected return multiples in
Tables V and VI of Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations. Life
expectancies for distributions under an Annuity option may not be
recalculated.
 
 
 
 
  Distributions under this section are considered to have begun if
distributions are made on account of the Certificate Holder reaching the
required beginning date, or if prior to the required beginning date,
distributions irrevocably commence over a period permitted and in an
Annuity option acceptable under Section 1.401(a)(9) of the Proposed Income
Tax Regulations.
 
 
 
 
 
 
  If SWO or ECO is in effect and the Certificate Holder dies before the
required beginning date for minimum distributions, payments will cease and
the Beneficiary may claim the death benefit in accordance with the terms
of this Section.
 
 
 
 
  If SWO or ECO is in effect and the Certificate Holder dies after the
required beginning date for minimum distributions, the Beneficiary may
elect to continue payments, if permitted by Section 1.401(a)(9) of the
Proposed Income Tax Regulations, or may claim the death benefit in
accordance with the terms of this Section.
 
 
 
 
 
10. Aetna will furnish annual calendar year reports concerning the status of

 


 

the Certificate Holder's Account.  
 
11. After two full consecutive Certificate years, and upon 90 days written
notice to the Certificate Holder, Aetna may terminate the Certificate
Holder's Account if the paid-up Annuity benefit at maturity would be less
than $20 per month.
