      substantially the same investment objective, policies and
      restrictions) and the California Portfolio will invest at
      least 80% of their respective net assets in municipal
      obligations, the interest on which is exempt from regular
      Federal income tax and from California taxes which each of
      the California Portfolio and California Account seek to avoid
      in accordance with their respective investment objectives."

      "Under normal market conditions and as a matter of
      fundamental policy, the Massachusetts Account (either
      directly or indirectly through another open-end investment
      company with substantially the same investment objective,
      policies and restrictions) and the Massachusetts Portfolio
      will invest at least 80% of their respective net assets in
      municipal obligations, the interest on which is exempt from
      regular Federal income tax and from Massachusetts taxes which
      each of the Massachusetts Portfolio and Massachusetts Account
      seek to avoid in accordance with their respective investment
      objectives."

      "Under normal market conditions and as a matter of
      fundamental policy, the New York Account (either directly or
      indirectly through another open-end investment company with
      substantially the same investment objective, policies and
      restrictions) and the New York Portfolio will invest at least
      80% of their respective net assets in municipal obligations,
      the interest on which is exempt from regular Federal income
      tax and from New York taxes which each of the New York

      Portfolio and New York Account seek to avoid in accordance
      with their respective investment objectives."

      "Under normal market conditions and as a matter of
      fundamental policy, the Ohio Account (either directly or
      indirectly through another open-end investment company with
      substantially the same investment objective, policies and
      restrictions) and the Ohio Portfolio will invest at least 80%
      of their respective net assets in municipal obligations, the
      interest on which is exempt from regular Federal income tax
      and from Ohio taxes which each of the Ohio Portfolio and Ohio
      Account seek to avoid in accordance with their respective
      investment objectives."

      Each of the Portfolios in which the corresponding Municipal
Accounts invest their assets may invest without limit in
obligations the interest on which is a tax preference item for
purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax.

      3.   FOR THE CALIFORNIA ACCOUNT ONLY:  The California Account
is a non-diversified series of the Company.  The California
Account may invest in certain obligations of Puerto Rico, Guam and
the U.S. Virgin Islands.
