1.21 Market Value Adjustment An adjustment to the amount withdrawn or  
(MVA): transferred from an MG Account Guaranteed Term  
  prior to the end of that Guaranteed Term. The  
  adjustment reflects the change in the value of  
  the investment due to changes in interest rates  
  since the date of deposit and is computed using  
  the formula given in 3.06. The adjustment is  
  expressed as a percentage of each dollar being  
  withdrawn.

  Term's Maturity Date.  
 
1.23 Matured Term Value During the calendar month following an MG

  may notify Aetna's Home Office in writing to  
  Transfer or surrender all or part of the  
  Matured Term Value, plus interest at the new  
  Guaranteed Rate accrued thereon, from the MG  
  Account without an MVA. This provision only  
  applies to the first such written request

Account: 38, Section 38a-433, of the Connecticut General  
  Statutes, that holds assets for MG Account  
  Terms. There are no discrete units for this  
  Account. The Certificate Holder does not  
  participate in the investment gain or loss from  
  the assets held in the Nonunitized Separate  
  Account. Such gain or loss is borne entirely by  
  Aetna. These assets may be chargeable with  
  liabilities arising out of any other business  
  of Aetna.  
 
1.27 Purchase Payment(s): Payment(s) accepted by Aetna at its Home  
  Office. Aetna reserves the right to refuse to  
  accept any Purchase Payment at any time for any  
  reason. No advance notice will be given to the  
  Contract Holder or Certificate Holder.  
 
1.28 Reinvestment: Aetna will mail a notice to the Certificate  
  Holder at least 18 calendar days before a  
  Guaranteed Term's Maturity Date. This notice  
  will contain the Terms available during the  
  current Deposit Periods with their Guaranteed  
  Rate(s) and projected Matured Term Value. If no  
  specific direction is given by the Certificate  
  Holder prior to the Maturity Date, each Matured  
  Term Value will be reinvested in the current  
  Deposit Period for a Guaranteed Term of the  
  same duration. If a Guaranteed Term of  
 
 
 
  11  
<PAGE>    
 
1.28 Reinvestment (Cont'd): the same duration is unavailable, each Matured  
  Term Value will automatically be reinvested in  
  the current Deposit Period for the next  
  shortest Guaranteed Term available. If no  
  shorter Guaranteed Term is available, the next  
  longer Guaranteed Term will be used. Aetna will  
  mail a confirmation statement to the  
  Certificate Holder the next business day after  
  the Maturity Date. This notice will state the  
  Guaranteed Term and Guaranteed Rate(s) which  
  will apply to the reinvested Matured Term  
  Value.  
 
1.29 Separate Account: A separate account that buys and holds shares  
  of the Fund(s), income, gains or losses,  
  realized or unrealized, are credited or charged  
  to the Separate Account without regard to other  
  income, gains or losses of Aetna. Aetna owns  
  the assets held in the Separate Account and  
  is not a trustee as to such amounts. This  
  Separate Account generally is not guaranteed  
  and is held at market value. The assets of the  
  Separate Account, to the extent of reserves and  
  other contract liabilities of the Account,  
  shall not be charged with other Aetna  
  liabilities.  
 
1.30 Surrender Value: The amount payable by Aetna upon the surrender  
  of any portion of an Account.

PURCHASE PAYMENT, CURRENT VALUE, AND SURRENDER PROVISIONS

-     

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.01 Net Purchase Payment:

3.02 Certificate Holder's Account:

<PAGE>

This amount is the actual Purchase Payment less any premium tax. Aetna will generally deduct the premium tax when Annuity benefits are elected (see Part IV). If Aetna determines that under applicable state law, it must pay a premium tax when the Purchase Payment is received or at any other time, it will deduct the tax at that time.

The Net Purchase Payment will be credited among:

(a)     

The current Deposit Period(s) for Guaranteed Terms under the MG Account; and

(b)     

The Fund(s) in which the Separate Account invests.

For each Net Purchase Payment, the Certificate Holder shall tell Aetna the allocation percentage to be applied to the current Deposit Period for each of the available Guaranteed Terms in the MG Account and/or each Fund. If allocation instructions are not received along with any subsequent Net Purchase Payment, the allocation will be the same as that indicated on the original enrollment form. If the same Guaranteed Term is no longer available, the Net Purchase Payment will be allocated to the next shortest Guaranteed Term available in the current Deposit Period. If no shorter Guaranteed Term is available, the next longer Guaranteed Term will be used.

Aetna will maintain an Account for each Certificate Holder.

Aetna will declare from time to time the acceptability and the minimum amount for additional Purchase Payments. Each Account will be subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Contract in effect at the time the first Purchase Payment for such Account is applied to the Contract except for changes made to comply with federal or state law.

15

3.03 Fund(s) Record Units -- Separate Account:

The portion of the Net Purchase Payment(s) applied to each Fund under the Separate Account will determine the number of Fund record units for that Fund. This number is equal to the portion of the Net Purchase Payment(s) applied to each Fund divided by the Fund record unit value (see 3.05) for the Valuation Period in which the Purchase Payment is received in good order at Aetna's Home Office.

 

3.04 Net Return Factor(s) -- Separate Account:

The net return factor(s) are used to compute all Separate Account record units for any Fund.

The net return factor(s) for each Fund is equal to 1.0000000 plus the net return rate.

The net return rate is equal to:

 

(a)     

The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account at the end of the Valuation Period; minus

(b)     

The value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account at the start of the Valuation Period; plus or minus

(c)     

Taxes (or reserves for taxes) on the Separate Account (if any); divided by

(d)     

The total value of the Fund(s) record units and Fund(s) annuity units of the Separate Account at the start of the Valuation Period; minus

(e)     

A daily Separate Account charge at an annual rate as shown on Contract Schedule I for mortality and expense risks, which may include profit; and a daily administrative charge.

A     

net return rate may be more or less than 0%.

The value of a share of the Fund is equal to
the net assets of the Fund divided by the
number of shares outstanding.

3.06 Market Value Adjustment (Cont'd):

Page 11 of 30

A Fund record unit value is computed by
multiplying the net return factors for the
current Valuation Period by the Fund record
unit value for the previous Period. The dollar
value of Fund record units, Separate Account
assets, and Variable Annuity payments may go up
or down due to investment gain or loss.

There will be an MVA for a withdrawal from the
MG Account before the end of a Guaranteed Term
when the withdrawal is due to:

(a)     

A Transfer; except as specified in MG Account Matured Term Value Transfer;

(b)     

A full or partial surrender, including a 10% free withdrawal under 3.14; or

(c)     

An election of Annuity option 2 (see 4.07).

Full and partial surrenders and Transfers made
within six months after the date of the
Annuitant's death will be the greater of:

16

(a)     

The aggregate MVA amount which is the sum of all market value adjusted amounts calculated due to a withdrawal of amounts.

 

This total may be greater or less than the Current Value of those amounts; or

(b)     

The applicable portion of the Current Value in the MG Account.

After the six-month period, the surrender or
Transfer will be the aggregate MVA amount,
which may be greater or less than the Current
Value of those amounts.

The greater of the aggregate MVA amount or the
applicable portion of the Current Value applies
amounts withdrawn from the MG Account on
account of an election of Annuity options 3 or
4 (see 4.07).

Market value adjusted amounts will be equal to
the amount withdrawn multiplied by the
following ratio:

x
---
365

(1 + i)
------------------
x
---
365

(1 + j)

Where:

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 Term.

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 Term.

(b)     

The Deposit Period Yield is the average of 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

Before an Annuity option is elected, all or
any portion of the Adjusted Current Value of
the Certificate Holder's Account may be
transferred from any Fund or Guaranteed Term
of the MG Account:

(a)     

To any other Fund; or

(b)     

To any Guaranteed Term of the MG Account available in the current Deposit Period.

Transfer requests can be submitted as a
percentage or as a dollar amount, Aetna may
establish a minimum transfer amount. Within
a Guaranteed Term Group, the amount to be
surrendered or transferred will be withdrawn
first from the oldest Deposit Period, then
from the next oldest, and so on until the
amount requested is satisfied.

The Certificate Holder may make an unlimited
number of Transfers during the Accumulation
Period. The number of free Transfers allowed by
Aetna is shown on Contract Schedule I.
Additional Transfers may be subject to a
Transfer fee as shown on Contract Schedule I.

Transfers from the MG Account of a Matured Term
Value on or within one calendar month of a
Term's Maturity Date do not count against the
annual Transfer limit.

Amounts applied to Guaranteed Terms of the MG
Account may not be transferred to the Funds or
to another Guaranteed Term during the Deposit
Period or for 90 days after the close of the
Deposit Period except for Matured Term
Value (s) during the calendar month following
the Term's Maturity Date.

Transfers from Guaranteed Terms of the MG
Account are subject to the MVA provisions of
3.06.

The Certificate Holder will receive quarterly
statements from Aetna of:

(a)     

The value of any amounts held in: (1) The MG Account; and (2) The Fund(s) under the Separate

Account.

(b)     

The number of any Fund(s) record units; and

(c)     

The Fund(s) record unit value.

Such number or values will be as of a specific
date no more than 60 days before the date of
the notice.

Loans are not available under this Contract.

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 on the Account's
full Current Value. The distributed amount is
withdrawn pro rata from each investment option
under the Account. A Surrender Fee will not be
deducted from any portion of the Adjusted
Current Value which is paid as a distribution
under SWO.

18

Certificate Holders should consult their tax
adviser prior to requesting this distribution
option. Aetna will not be responsible for any
adverse tax consequences due to receiving SWO
payments.

(a)     

Amount of Distribution: The Certificate Holder may elect one of the three payment methods described below.

(1) Specified Payment: Payments of a
designated dollar amount. The annual
amount may not be greater than the

3.10 Systematic Withdrawal Option (SWO)(Cont'd):

3.11 Death Benefit Amount:

Page 13 of 30

percentage of the Current Value at time
of election as shown on Contract
Schedule I. This annual dollar amount
will remain constant. At its
discretion, Aetna may require a minimum
initial payment amount;

(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 of the
Current Value at the time of election
as 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
3.12.

(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. The earliest date for distribution is the date on which the Certificate Holder attains age 59 1/2. As elected by the Certificate Holder, SWO payments will be made on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. 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 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. Once

elected,     

this option may be revoked by the

Certificate     

Holder or spousal Beneficiary,

if     

elected after the Certificate

19     

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.

If the Certificate Holder or Annuitant dies
before Annuity payments start, the Beneficiary
is entitled to a death benefit under the
Account. 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.
The amount of the death benefit is determined
as follows:

(a)     

Death or Annuitant less than 75 years of age: The guaranteed death benefit is the greatest of:

(1) The gross sum of all Purchase
Payment(s) made to the Account (as of
the date of death) minus the sum of all
amounts surrendered, applied to an
Annuity, of deducted from the Account;

(2) The step up value as of the date of

death plus all Net Purchase Payments
made to the Account, minus the total of
all partial surrenders, amounts applied
to an Annuity and deductions made from
the Account since determination of the
step up value. The step up value is the
Current Value on the most recent
seventh year anniversary of the date
the first Net Purchase Payment is
applied to the Account;

(3) The Account's Current Value as of the
date of death.

The excess, if any, of the guaranteed death
benefit value over the Account's Current
Value is determined as of the date of
death. Any excess amount will be deposited
to the Account and allocated to Aetna
Variable Encore Fund as of the claim date.
The Current Value on the claim date plus
any excess amount deposited becomes the
Account's Current Value.

(b)     

Death or Annuitant age 75 or greater: The Death benefit amount is the Account Current Value on the claim date.

(c)     

Death of the Certificate Holder if the Certificate Holder is not the Annuitant: The death benefit amount is the Account's Adjusted Current Value on the claim date. A

 

Surrender Fee may apply to any full or partial surrender (see 3.14 and Contract Schedule I).

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 Beneficiary has the right
under the Account to allocate or reallocate any
amount to any of the available investment
options (subject to an MVA, as applicable). The
following options are available to the
Beneficiary:

20

(a)     

When the Certificate Holder is the Annuitant: If the Certificate Holder/ Annuitant dies, and:

(1) If the Beneficiary is the Certificate
Holder's surviving spouse, the
Beneficiary will be the successor
Certificate Holder of the Account on
Aetna's records. Such successor
Certificate Holder may exercise all
Certificate Holder rights under the
Contract and continue in the
Accumulation Period, or may elect (i),
(ii), or (iii) below. Under the Code,
distributions from the Account are not
required until the successor
Certificate Holder's death. The
Beneficiary may elect to:

(i) Apply some or all of the Adjusted
Current Value of the Account to
Annuity option 2, 3 or 4 (see
4.07);

  (ii) Apply some or all of the  
  Adjusted Current Value of the  
  Account to Annuity option 1  
  (see 4.07); or  
 
  (iii) Receive, at any time, a lump sum  
  payment equal to the Adjusted  
  Current Value of the Account.  
 
(2) If the Beneficiary is other than the  
  Certificate Holder's surviving  
  spouse, the options (i), (ii), or  
  (iii) under (1) above apply. Any  
  portion of the Adjusted Current  
  Value of the Account not applied  
  to Annuity option 2, 3 or 4 within  
  one year of the Certificate Holder's  
  death, must be distributed within  
  five years of the date of death.  
 
(3) If no Beneficiary exists, a lump sum

When the Certificate Holder is not the

  Annuitant     

and the Certificate Holder dies,

  and:     

  (1)     

If the Beneficiary is the Certificate

   Holder's     

surviving spouse, the

Period, or may elect

   (i),     

(ii), or (iii) below. Under the

   Code,     

distributions from the Account

   are     

not required until the successor

   Certificate     

Holder's death. The

   Beneficiary     

may elect to:

   (i)     

Apply some or all of the Adjusted Current Value of the Account to Annuity option 2, 3 or 4 (see 4.07);

   (ii)     

Apply some or all of the Surrender Value of the Account to Annuity option 1 (see 4.07); or

  21     

   (iii)     

Receive, at any time, a lump sum payment equal to the Surrender Value of the Account.

  (2)     

If the Beneficiary is other than the

   Certificate     

Holder's surviving

   spouse,     

then options (i), (ii), or

   (iii)     

under (1) above apply. Any

   portion     

of the Adjusted Current

   Value     

of the Account not applied to

   Annuity     

option 2, 3 or 4 within one

   year     

of the Certificate Holder's

   death     

will be subject to a Surrender

   Fee,     

if applicable, and must be

   distributed     

within five years of the

   date     

of death.

  (3)     

If no Beneficiary exists, a lump sum

   payment     

equal to the Surrender Value

   will     

be made to the Certificate

   Holder's     

estate.

(c)     

When the Certificate Holder is not the

  Annuitant     

and the Annuitant dies: The

  Beneficiary     

must elect Annuity option 2, 3

  or     

4 within 60 days of the date of death

  or     

the gain, if any, will be includable in

  the     

Beneficiary's income in the tax year

  in     

which the Annuitant dies.

All or any portion of the Account's Adjusted
Current Value may be surrendered at any time.
Surrender requests can be submitted as a
percentage of 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 Fund(s) and/or the Guaranteed
Term(s) Groups of the MG Account in which the
Current Value is invested. Within a Guaranteed
Term Group, the amount to be surrendered or
transferred will be withdrawn first from the
oldest Deposit Period, then from the next
oldest, and so on until the amount requested
is satisfied.

After deduction of the Maintenance Fee, if
applicable, the surrendered amount shall be
reduced by a Surrender Fee, if applicable.

The Surrender Fee only applies to the Net
Purchase Payment(s) portion surrendered and
varies according to the elapsed time since
deposit (see Contract Schedule I). Net

  Purchase Payment amounts are withdrawn in
  the same order they were applied.
 
  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, up to
    a maximum of the aggregate Net Purchase
    Payment(s) minus the total of all partial
    surrenders, amounts applied to an Annuity
    and deductions made prior to the
    Annuitant's date of death;
 
  (b) As a premium for an Annuity option 2, 3 or
    4 under this Contract (see 4.07);
 
  (c) As a distribution under the SWO provision
    (see 3.10);

<PAGE>    
 
3.14 Surrender Fee (Cont'd): (d) At least 12 months after the date of the
    first Purchase Payment to the Account, in
    an amount equal to or less than 10% of the
    Current Value. 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) By Aetna under 3.17; or
 
  (g) If the Annuitant has spent at least 45
    consecutive days in a licensed nursing care
    facility and each of the following
    conditions are met;
 
    (1) more than one calendar year has elapsed
    since the date the certificate was
    issued; and
 
    (2) the surrender is requested within 3
    years of admission to a licensed
    nursing care facility.
 
    This waiver does not apply if the Annuitant
    was in a nursing care facility at the time
    the certificate was issued.

 

3.15 Payment of Surrender Value: Under certain emergency conditions, Aetna may defer payment:

(a)     

For a period of up to 6 months (unless not allowed by state law); or

(b)     

As provided by federal law.

3.16 Reinstatement:

All or a portion of the proceeds of a full surrender of an Account may be reinvested within 30 days after the surrender. Any Maintenance Fee and Surrender Fee charged at the time of surrender on the amount being reinvested will be included in the reinstatement. Any Market Value Adjustment(s) deducted from surrenders will not be included in the reinstatement.

Amounts will be reinstated among the MG Account and the Funds in the Separated Account in the same proportion as they were at the time of surrender. Any amounts reinstated to the MG Account will be credited to the Guaranteed Terms available during the current Deposit Period in the same proportion as they were at the time of surrender. In the event that a Guaranteed Term of the same duration is unavailable, amounts will be reinvested in the next shortest Guaranteed Term available in the current Deposit Period. If no shorter Guaranteed Term is available, the next longer Guaranteed Term will be used. The number of

on the Record Unit Value(s) next computed after
receipt at Aetna's Home Office of the
reinstatement request and the amount to be

Any Maintenance Fee which falls due after the
surrender and before the reinstatement will be
deducted from the amount reinstated.

Any Account(s) surrendered because the Current
Value was less than $2,500 immediately
following any partial surrender may not be
reinstated (see 3.17).

Reinstatement of an Account is permitted only
once.

Upon 90 days' written notice to the Certificate
Holder, Aetna will terminate any Account if the
Current Value becomes less than $2,500
immediately following any partial surrender.
Aetna does not intend to exercise this right in
cases where an Account Current Value is reduced
to $2,500 of less solely due to investment
performance. A Surrender Fee will not be
deducted from the Adjusted Current Value. This
terminated Adjusted Current Value of an Account
may not be reinstated.

4.01 Choices to be Made:

4.02 Terms of Annuity Options:

<PAGE>

4.02 Terms of Annuity Options (Cont'd):

The Certificate Holder may tell Aetna to apply any portion of the Adjusted Current Value (minus any premium tax) for an Annuity under option 2, 3, or 4 (see 4.07). The first Annuity payment may not be earlier than one calendar year after the initial Purchase Payment nor later than the later of:

(a)     

The first day of the month following the Annuitant's 85th birthday; of

(b)     

The tenth anniversary of the last Purchase Payment. In lieu of the election of an Annuity, the Certificate Holder may tell Aetna to make a lump sum payment.

When an Annuity Option is chosen, Aetna must also be told if payments are to be made other than monthly and whether to pay:

(a)     

A Fixed Annuity using the General Account;

(b)     

A Variable Annuity using any of the Fund(s) available under this Contract for Annuity purposes; or

(c)     

A combination of (a) and (b).

If a Fixed Annuity is chosen, the Annuity purchase rate for the option chosen reflects the Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate (see Contract Schedule II), but may reflect higher interest rates. If a Variable Annuity is chosen, the initial Annuity payment for the option chosen reflects the assumed annual return rate elected. (see Contract Schedule II).

(a)     

When payments start, the age of the Annuitant plus the number of years for which payments are guaranteed must not exceed 95.

 

24

(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 a Fixed Annuity under option 2,3 or 4 is

present value of any remaining payments
will be paid in one sum to the Certificate
Holder, or if the Certificate Holder is not
living, then to the Certificate Holder's
estate.

(d)     

If the Beneficiary designated under option 1 dies, the amount held plus accrued interest will be paid in one sum to a successor Beneficiary, if any, named by the designated Beneficiary. If there is no successor Beneficiary, the lump sum will be paid to the designated Beneficiary's estate.

(e)     

If the Beneficiary or the successor payee dies while receiving Annuity payments, the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments will be paid in one sum to the successor Beneficiary/payee, or upon election by the successor Beneficiary/payee, any remaining payments will continue to the successor Beneficiary/payee. If no successor Beneficiary/payee has been designated, the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary's/payee's estate.

(f)     

The present value will be determined as of the Valuation Period in which proof of death acceptable to Aetna and a request for

payment     

is received at Aetna's Home Office.

The     

interest rate used to determine the

first     

payment will be used to calculate the

present     

value.

The number of each Fund's Annuity Units is
based on the amount of the first Variable
Annuity payment which is equal to:

(a)     

The portion of the Current Value applied to pay a Variable Annuity (minus any premium tax); divided by

(b)     

1,000; multiplied by

(c)     

The payment rate for the option chosen.

Such amount, or portion, of the variable
payment will be divided by the appropriate Fund
Annuity unit value (see 4.05) on the tenth
Valuation Period before the due date of the
first payment to determine the number of each
Fund Annuity units. The

26

number of each Fund Annuity units remains fixed.
Each future payment is equal to the sum of the
products of each Fund Annuity unit value
multiplied by the appropriate number of units.
The Fund Annuity unit value of the tenth
Valuation Period prior to the date of the
payment is used.

For any Valuation Period, a Fund Annuity unit
is equal to:

(a)     

The value for the previous Period; multiplied by

(b)     

The Annuity net return factor(s) (see 4.06 below) for the Period; multiplied by

(c)     

A factor to reflect the assumed annual net return rate (see Contract Schedule II).

The dollar value of a Fund Annuity unit values
and Annuity payments may go up or down due to
investment gain or loss.

The Annuity net return factor(s) are used to
compute all Separate Account Annuity Payments
for any Fund.

The Annuity net return factor(s) for each Fund
is equal to 1.0000000 plus the net return rate.

The net return rate is equal to:

(a)     

The value of the shares of the Fund held

  by     

the Separate Account at the end of a

  Valuation     

Period; minus

(b)     

The value of the shares of the Fund held

  by     

the Separate Account at the start of

  the     

Valuation Period; plus or minus

(c)     

Taxes (or reserves for taxes) on the

  Separate     

Account (if any); divided by

(d)     

The total value of the Fund(s) record

  units     

and Fund(s) Annuity units of the

  Separate     

Account at the start of the

  Valuation     

Period; minus

(e)     

A daily charge for Annuity mortality and

  expense     

risks, which may include profit,

  and     

a daily administrative charge (at the

  annual     

rate as shown on Contract Schedule

  II)     

.

A     

net return rate may be more or less than 0%.

The value of a share of the Fund is equal to the net assets of the Fund divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Payments shall not be changed due to changes in the mortality or expense results or administrative charges.

 

4.07 Annuity Options:

Option 1 -- Payment of Interest on Sum Left with Aetna -- This option may be used only by the Beneficiary when the Certificate Holder dies before Aetna has started paying an Annuity. A portion or all of the sum paid upon death may be held under this option and will be held in the General Account of Aetna at interest (see 4.01). The Beneficiary may later tell Aetna to:

 

(a)     

Pay a portion or all of the sum held by Aetna; or

(b)     

Apply a portion or all of the sum held by Aetna to any Annuity option below.

4.07 Annuity Options (Cont'd):

If a nonspouse Beneficiary elects that some or all of the Current Value is to be held under this option, the Beneficiary must tell Aetna to pay the full sum held under this option within 5 years of the date of death.

Option 2--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 5 and not more than 30.

If payments for this option are made under a Variable Annuity the present value of any remaining payments may be withdrawn at any time. If a withdrawal is requested within 3 years after the start of payments, it will be treated as a surrender and any applicable Surrender Fee will be applied (see 3.14).

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 3--Life Income--An Annuity will be paid for the life of the Annuitant. If also chosen, Aetna will guarantee payments for 60, 120, 180, or 240 months.

Option 4--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, a choice must be made of:

(a) 100% of the payment to continue after the first death; (b) 66 2/3% of the payment to continue after the first death; (c) 50% of the payment to continue after the first death; (d) Payments for a minimum of 120 months with 100% of the payment to continue after the first death; or (e) 100% of the payment to continue at the death of the second Annuitant and 50% of the payment to continue at the death of the

of the date of death) minus the sum of all amounts surrendered,
applied to an Annuity, or deducted from the Account;

(2) The highest step-up value as of the date of death. A step-up
value is determined on each anniversary of the Effective Date.

amounts surrendered, deducted, and/or applied to an Annuity
option since the Effective Date anniversary.

(3) The Account's Current Value as of the date of death.

deducted, and/or applied to an Annuity option since the
Effective Date anniversary.

(3) The Account's Current Value as of the date of death.

Account's Current Value is determined as of the date of death. Any
excess amount will be deposited in the Account and allocated to the

on the claim date, plus any excess amount deposited, becomes the
Account's Current Value.
