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.

Aetna will maintain an Account for each Certificate Holder.

Aetna will declare from time to time the acceptability and the minimum amount for a Purchase Payment.

The portion of the Net Purchase Payment 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 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.

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.

15

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.

3.05 Fund Record Unit

Value -- Separate Account:

A Fund recorded 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 a Fund record units, Separate Account assets, and Variable Annuity payments may go up or down due to investment gain or loss.

 

3.06 Market Value Adjustment:

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 3.16; or

(c)     

An election of Annuity option 2 (see 4.09).

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

(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 to amounts withdrawn from the MG Account on account of an election of Annuity options 3 or 4 (see 4.09).

<PAGE>

3.06 Market Value Adjustment (Cont'd):

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 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.

Account:

<PAGE>

Page 12 of 30

In the event that no U.S. Treasury Notes
which mature in the last three months of the
Guaranteed Term exist, Aetna reserves the
right to use the U.S. Treasury Notes that
mature in the following quarter.

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.

17

3.07 Transfer of Current Value The Certificate Holder may make an unlimited
  from the Funds or MG number of Transfers during the Accumulation
  Account (Cont'd): 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 after 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.
 
3.08 Reports: Aetna, as issuer of the Contract, will make
    any reports required of it by federal law.
    Aetna will furnish annual calendar year
    reports concerning the status of the
annuity.
 
3.09 Notice to the Certificate The Certificate Holder will receive
  Holder: 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 or any Fund(s) record units; and (c) The Fund(s) record unit value.

3.10     

Loans:

3.11     

Distribution Options:

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.

The following distribution options may be elected by the Certificate Holder during the Accumulation Period.

(a) Estate Conservation Option (ECO) - A distribution option under which a portion of the Account's Current Value will automatically be surrendered and distributed each year. ECO payments will be calculated based on the Account's full Current Value. The distributed amount will be withdrawn pro rata from each investment option used 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 ECO. Certificate Holders should consult their tax adviser prior to requesting this distribution option. Aetna will not be responsible

3.11 Distribution Options (Cont'd):

<PAGE>

3.11 Distribution Options (Cont'd):

Page 13 of 30

for any adverse tax consequences due to
receiving ECO payments.

(1) Amount of Distribution: Each year
that ECO is in effect, Aetna will
calculate and distribute an amount
equal to the minimum required
distribution under the Code. The

annual distribution will be determined by
dividing the Current Value as of December
31 of the year prior to the payment year,
by a life expectancy factor.

The Certificate Holder, or spouse
Beneficiary if ECO is elected after the
Certificate Holder's death, shall elect
either single life expectancy or joint
life expectancy. 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.

Joint life expectancy can only be elected
based on the joint life expectancy of the
Certificate Holder and his or her
Beneficiary. If the Certificate Holder
makes any changes in the Beneficiary
designation under the Certificate, ECO
distributions after the change will be
recalculated as required by IRS
regulations.

Life expectancies shall be recalculated
annually. If the joint life expectancy is
elected with a non-spouse Beneficiary, the
life expectancy of the non-spouse
Beneficiary may not be recalculated.
Instead, the life expectancy will be
calculated using the attained age of the
Beneficiary during the calendar year in
which the Certificate Holder attains age
70 1/2, and payments for subsequent years
shall be recalculated based on such life
expectancy reduced by one for each
calendar year which has elapsed since the
calendar year life expectancy was first
calculated.

If joint life expectancy is elected with a
spouse Beneficiary, at the death of
either, the payments can continue and will
be calculated based solely on the
survivor's life expectancy. If joint life
expectancy is elected with a non-spouse
Beneficiary and the non-spouse Beneficiary
dies first, payments will continue based
on the joint life expectancy.

If a single life expectancy is elected and
the Certificate Holder dies, or if a joint
life expectancy is elected and the
survivor dies, the death benefits
determined under Section 3.12 will be paid
to the Beneficiary in a lump sum not later
than December 31 following the year of
death.

(2)     

Minimum Initial Current Value: At its discretion, Aetna may require a minimum initial Account Current Value for election of this option. If after election of this option, the Current Value is insufficient to make a scheduled ECO payment, Aetna will distribute the entire Account balance.

(3)     

Date of Distribution: Distribution will be made annually on the 15th of any month or such other date Aetna may designate or allow. The Certificate Holder shall specify an initial distribution month, not earlier than the

 

19

calendar year in which the Certificate
Holder attains age 70 1/2, or such later
time when distributions must commence as
specified under the Code, whichever is
appropriate. For a spouse Beneficiary, the
earliest date is the date of the
Certificate Holder's death.

Page 14 of 30

(4)     

Election and Revocation: ECO may be elected by the Certificate Holder by submitting a written request to Aetna at his Home Office.

Once elected, this option may be revoked
by the Certificate Holder, or spouse
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. The Certificate
Holder assumes responsibility for
compliance with minimum distribution rules
under the Code. ECO may be elected only
once by the Certificate Holder or by a
spouse Beneficiary.

(b)     

Systematic Withdrawal Option (SWO): 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     

Current Value. The distributed amount

  will     

be withdrawn pro rata from each investment

  option     

used 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. 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.

  (1)     

Amount of Distribution: The Certificate

   Holder     

may elect one of the three payment

   methods     

described below.

   (i)     

Specified Payment: Payments of a designated dollar amount. The annual amount may not be greater than the 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; or

   (ii)     

Specified Period: Payments made over a period of time of at least 10 years. The maximum specified period shall be determined under the Code minimum distribution rules. The annual amount paid each year is calculated by dividing the Account's Current Value as of December 31 of the prior year by the number of payment years remaining; or

(iii) Specified Percentage: Payment of a
designated percentage which cannot be
greater than the

20

<PAGE>

3.11 Distribution Options (Cont'd):

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 year by the designated percentage.

Payments will be made until the year the Certificate Holder attains age 70 1/2 or, if elected by the spouse Beneficiary, the year the Certificate Holder would have attained age 70 1/2.

Under both the Specified Payment and Specified Period payment methods, a higher amount shall be paid in any year if required under the Code minimum distribution rules. For purposes of this determination, life expectancy for the initial distribution year shall be calculated based on single life expectancy Table V of Section 1.72-9 of the Income

Tax Regulations. With each subsequent
year, the life expectancy will be the life
expectancy for the previous year reduced
by one.

Payments upon the Certificate Holder's
death will be made to the Beneficiary in
the manner described in 3.13.

(2)     

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.

(3)     

Date of Distribution: The Certificate Holder shall specify the initial distribution date. The earliest date for distribution is the first 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 year. Subsequent distributions will be made on the 15th of any month or such other date Aetna may designate or allow.

(4)     

Election and Revocation: SWO may be elected by the Certificate Holder, or spouse Beneficiary if elected after the

Certificate     

Holder's death, by submitting

a     

completed and signed election form to

Aetna's     

Home Office.

21     

Once elected, this option may be
revoked by the Certificate Holder, or
spouse 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
spouse Beneficiary.

If the Certificate Holder/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 of Certificate Holder/Annuitant less

  than     

75 years of age: The guaranteed death

  benefit     

is the greatest of:

  (1)     

The Net Purchase Payment made to the Account minus the sum of all amounts surrendered, applied to an Annuity, or deducted from the Account;

  (2)     

The step up value as of the date of death 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 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 of Certificate Holder/Annuitant age 75 or greater: The death benefit amount is the Account Current Value on the claim date.

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:

(a)     

If the Beneficiary is the Certificate Holder's surviving spouse, the surviving spouse may exercise all rights under the Contract and continue in the Accumulation Period, or may elect (1), (2), or (3) below. Under the Code, distributions from the Account are

 

22

not required until December 31st of the year
in which the original Certificate Holder would
have attained age 70 1/2. The Beneficiary may
elect to:

(1) Apply some or all of the Adjusted Current
Value of the Account to Annuity option 2,
3, or 4 (see 4.09);
(2) Apply some or all of the Adjusted Current
Value of the Account to Annuity option 1
(see 4.09); or

(3) Receive, at any time, a lump sum payment
equal to the Adjusted Current Value of
the Account.

3.14     

Required Distribution to Certificate Holder/ Beneficiary:

 

If ECO is in effect on the Certificate Holder's date of death, the surviving spouse can elect to continue receiving ECO payments if a joint life expectancy was chosen. Otherwise, the surviving spouse must receive a lump sum payment equal to the Adjusted Current Value.

 

If SWO is in effect and the Certificate Holder dies before the required beginning date for minimum distributions (see 3.14), SWO payments will cease and the surviving spouse may claim the death benefit in accordance with the terms of this section.

 

If SWO is in effect and the Certificate Holder dies after the required beginning date for minimum distributions, the surviving spouse may elect to continue receiving the SWO payments. Otherwise, the surviving spouse must elect to receive a lump sum payment equal to the Adjusted Current Value.

(b)     

If the Beneficiary is other than the Certificate Holder's surviving spouse, then

options     

(1), (2), or (3) under (a) above

apply.     

Any portion of the Adjusted Current

Value     

of the Account that is not applied to

Annuity     

option 2, 3 or 4 by December 31st of

the     

year following the year of the Certificate

Holder's     

death must be distributed by December

31st     

of the year containing the fifth

anniversary     

of the Certificate Holder's date

of     

death.

If     

ECO or SWO is in effect on the Certificate

Holder's     

date of death, the Beneficiary must

receive     

an automatic and immediate lump sum

payment     

equal to the Adjusted Current Value.

(c)     

If no Beneficiary exists, a lump sum payment

equal     

to the Adjusted Current Value will be

made     

to the Certificate Holder's estate.

(a)     

Certificate Holder: The entire interest of the

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 periodic payments at
intervals no longer than one year. In
addition, payments must be either
nonincreasing or they may

23

increase only as provided in Q&A 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, and the
regulations thereunder, including the
minimum distribution incidental benefit
requirement of section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of
the Proposed Income Tax Regulations.

Distribution may be an Annuity as set
forth in Sections 4.01 through 4.04,
payments under ECO or SWO as defined in
Section 3.11, or a lump sum payment.

(b)     

Beneficiary: If the Certificate Holder dies after distribution of his or her interest has begun, the remaining portion of such interest will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used prior to the Certificate Holder's death.

Distributions are considered to have begun
if distributions are made on account of
the Certificate Holder's reaching his or
her required beginning date or if prior to
the required beginning date distributions
irrevocably commence to the Certificate
Holder over a period permitted and in an
Annuity form acceptable under section
1.401(a)(9) of the Income Tax Regulations.

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. The Net Purchase
Payment amount is withdrawn first, and then the
excess value, if any. 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 portion surrendered and varies
according to the elapsed time since deposit
(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 Certificate Holder's death before Annuity payments start;

(b)     

As a premium for an Annuity option 2, 3 or 4 under this Contract (see 4.09);

 

24

(c)     

As a distribution under the ECO or SWO provision (see 3.11);

(d)     

At least 12 months after the date of the 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 3.19; or

(g)     

If the Certificate Holder 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
Certificate Holder was in a nursing care
facility at the time the certificate was
issued.

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.

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 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 Separate 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 available
Guaranteed Terms of 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 Fund(s) record
units reinstated will be based on the record
unit value(s) next computed after receipt at
Aetna's

25

Home Office of the reinstatement request and
the amount to be reinstated. 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 3.19).

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 or less solely due to investment

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).

In no event may any payments under an Annuity option extend beyond:

(a)     

The life of the Certificate Holder;

 

26

  (b)     

The lives of the Certificate Holder and Beneficiary;

  (c)     

Any certain period greater than the Certificate Holder's life expectancy according to regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9), determined as of the date payments are to begin; or

  (d)     

A period greater than the joint and last survivor life expectancies of the Certificate Holder and the Certificate Holder's Beneficiary according to regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9), determined as of the date payments are to begin.

In no event may payments to the Beneficiary under an Annuity option extend beyond:

(a) The life of the Beneficiary; or (b) Any certain period greater than the Beneficiary's life expectancy as determined by regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9).

(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 a Fixed Annuity under option 2, 3 or 4 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 a Variable
Annuity or the payments for a Fixed
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
from July 1, 1993 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 rates for options 3 and 4
are based on mortality from 1983 Table
a.

(e) Assumed Annual Net Return Rate is the
interest rate used to determine the
amount of the first Annuity payment
under a Variable Annuity as shown on
Contract Schedule II. The Separate
Account must earn this rate plus enough
to cover the

27

mortality and expense risks charges (which
may include profit) and administrative
charges if future Variable Annuity
Payments are to remain level, (see Annuity
return factor under Variable Annuity
Assumed Annual Net Return Rate on Contract
Schedule II).

(f)     

Once elected, Annuity payments cannot be commuted to a lump sum except for Variable Annuity payments under option 2 (see 4.09). The life expectancy of the Certificate Holder or Certificate Holder and second Annuitant shall be irrevocable upon the election of an Annuity option.

(a)     

When the Annuitant dies under option 2 or 3, or both the Annuitant and second Annuitant die under option 4(d), the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary, or upon election by the Beneficiary, any remaining payments will continue to the Beneficiary. If option 4 has been elected and the Annuitant dies, the remaining payments will continue to the second Annuitant as successor payee.

(b)     

If there is no Beneficiary under option 2, 3 or 4, the present value of any remaining payments will be paid in one sum to the Certificate Holder's estate.

(c)     

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.     

(d)     

If the Beneficiary dies while receiving

Annuity     

payments, the present value of any

remaining     

guaranteed payments will be paid

in     

one sum to the successor Beneficiary,

or     

upon election by the successor

Beneficiary,     

any remaining payments will

continue     

to the successor Beneficiary. If

no     

successor Beneficiary has been

designated,     

the present value of any

remaining     

guaranteed payments will be paid

in     

one sum to the Beneficiary's estate.

(e)     

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.

 

28

Such amount, or portion, of the variable
payment will be divided by the appropriate
Fund Annuity unit value (see 4.07) on the
tenth Valuation Period before the due date of
the first payment to determine the number of
each Fund Annuity units. The 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 on the tenth Valuation Period prior
to the due date of the payment is used.

For any Valuation Period, a Fund Annuity unit
value is equal to:
(a) The value for the previous Period;
multiplied by
(b) The Annuity net return factor(s) (see
4.08 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(s) 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.

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

4.09 Annuity Options (Cont'd): (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.

If a nonspouse Beneficiary elects that some or
all of the Account is to be held under this
option, the Beneficiary must tell Aetna to pay
the full sum held under this option by December
31st of the year containing the fifth
anniversary of the Certificate Holder's 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 3.16).

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 Annuitant.

Other Options -- Aetna may make other options
available as allowed by the laws of the state
in which this Contract and the certificate is
delivered.

Endorsement

This Contract is endorsed as follows.

Add the following to Section I General Definitions:

Delete Section 1.21, Market Value Adjustment, and replace it with the following.

1.21     

Market Value Adjustment - An adjustment that may apply to an amount withdrawn or 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.

Delete the first two paragraphs of Section 3.06, Market Value Adjustment, and replace it with the following:

3.06     

Market Value Adjustment - Except as noted below, 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 for Transfers from the one-year MG Account Guaranteed Term under the Dollar Cost Averaging program or, as specified in MG Account Matured Term Value Transfer;

  (b)     

A full or partial surrender (including a 10% free withdrawal under 3.16), except for a partial withdrawal under the Systematic Withdrawal Option (see 3.10); or

  (c)     

An election of Annuity option 2 (see 4.09).

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

<PAGE>

(b) The applicable portion of the Current Value in the MG Account.

Delete Section 3.07, Transfer of Current Value from the Funds or MG Account, and replace it with the following:

3.07     

Transfer of Current Value from the Funds or MG Account - 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 to 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.

  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 of Certificate Holder/Annuitant less than 75 years of age: The guaranteed death benefit is the greatest of:

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

3

<PAGE>

(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.
Each step-up value is calculated as the Account's Current
Value on the Effective Date anniversary, increased by the
amount of any Purchase Payment(s) made, and decreased by the
sum of all 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.

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 in the Account and allocated to
the 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 of Certificate Holder/Annuitant age 75 or greater: The death benefit amount is the greatest of:

(1) The sum of all Net Purchase Payment(s) made to the Account (as
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 prior to the Certificate Holder's
75th birthday. A step-up value is determined on each
anniversary of the Effective Date. Each step-up value is
calculated as the Account's Current Value on the Effective
Date anniversary, increased by the amount of any Purchase
Payment(s) made, and decreased by the sum of all 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.

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 in the Account and allocated to
the 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.

(c)     

At the death of a surviving spouse Beneficiary who continued the Account in his or her own name, the death benefit amount is equal to the Account's Current Value less any applicable Surrender Fee on the amount of any Purchase Payment(s) made since the death of the Certificate Holder.

Delete Section 3.15, Liquidation of Surrender Value, and replace it with the following:

3.15     

Liquidation of Surrender Value - All or any portion of the Account's Current Value may be surrendered at any time. Surrender requests can be submitted as a percentage of the Account's Current 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 the Maintenance Fee, if applicable, the surrendered amount shall be reduced by a Surrender Fee, if applicable. An MVA may apply to amounts surrendered from the MG Account.
