FLEXIBLE PURCHASE PAYMENT
INDIVIDUAL TAX QUALIFIED VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT A

237 WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT ROAD
CINCINNATI, OHIO 45219
TELEPHONE (513) 559-6452
This prospectus offers a multiple funded, flexible purchase payment, individual
variable annuity contract, designed for tax qualified retirement plans, that
provides for the accumulation of values and the payment of annuity benefits on a
variable and/or fixed basis. Unless specifically stated otherwise, only
provisions relating to the variable portion of the contracts are described in
this prospectus. The fixed portion ("Guaranteed Accumulation Account") is
briefly described in an appendix to the Statement of Additional Information.
Variable annuities are designed to provide lifetime annuity payments which will
vary with the investment results of the investment vehicle chosen. The
accumulation value of a contract will vary with the investment performance of
Ohio National Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), prior to the annuity payout date, and the
amount of each annuity payment will vary with the Fund's investment performance
subsequent to the commencement of annuity payments. There can be no assurance
that the value of a contract during the years prior to the annuity payout date
or the aggregate amount of annuity payments received after such date will equal
or exceed the purchase payments made therefor.
The variable annuity contracts offered by this prospectus are designed for (1)
annuity purchase plans adopted by public school systems and certain tax-exempt
organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), qualifying for tax-deferred treatment pursuant to Section 403(b) of the
Code, (2) other employee pension or profit-sharing trusts or plans qualifying
for tax-deferred treatment under Section 401(a), 401(k) or 403(a) of the Code,
(3) individual retirement annuities qualifying for tax-deferred treatment under
Section 408 of the Code, and (4) state and municipal deferred compensation
plans.
The minimum purchase payment is $25. Payments after the first payment may be
made at any time. Generally the maximum purchase payment is $10,000 per year.
Purchase payments are allocated to one or more subaccounts of Ohio National
Variable Account A ("VAA") in such portion as the contract owner may choose. VAA
is a separate account established by The Ohio National Life Insurance Company
("Ohio National Life"). The assets of VAA are invested in shares of the Fund, a
mutual fund having nine portfolios in which the contracts' assets may be
invested: Equity Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, Bond Portfolio, Omni
Portfolio, International Portfolio, Capital Appreciation Portfolio, Small Cap
Portfolio, Global Contrarian Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio. (See the
accompanying prospectus of the Fund.)
All or part of the contract's accumulation value may be withdrawn before the
annuity payout date. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to federal income tax
penalties, and a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed equal to
7-3/4% of total purchase payments made during the 96 months immediately
preceding the withdrawal, or 7-3/4% of the amount withdrawn, if less. After the
first year, up to 10% of the accumulation value may be withdrawn each year
without this charge. Exercise of contract rights may be subject to the terms of
any qualified employee trust or annuity plan under which a contract is
purchased. This prospectus contains no information concerning such trusts or
plans.
The contracts offered hereby may be revoked by the purchaser without penalty
within 20 days of their delivery.

INFORMATION ABOUT VAA AND THE VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS OFFERED BY THIS
PROSPECTUS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE INVESTING. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT

The purpose of the above table is to help you to understand the costs and
expenses that a variable annuity contractowner will bear directly or indirectly.
THE EXAMPLE INCLUDED IN THE ABOVE TABLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A
REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSE, AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR
LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN. Note that the expense amounts shown in the example are
aggregate amounts for the total number of years indicated. In the example, the
annual fee is treated as if it were deducted as a percentage of assets, based
upon the average account value for all contracts, including ones from which a
portion of the contract fee may be paid from amounts invested in the general
account. Neither the table nor the example reflect any premium taxes that may be
applicable to a contract, which currently range from 0% to 2.25%. The above
table and example reflect only the charges for contracts currently offered by
this prospectus and not other contracts that may be mentioned in the discussion
of Prior Contracts. For further details, see DEDUCTIONS AND EXPENSES, page 7.
*For the Money Market Portfolio, management fees in excess of 0.25% are
presently being waived by the Fund's investment adviser. Without the waiver, the
Money Market Portfolio's Management Fee would be 0.30%, its Total Fund Annual
Expenses would be 0.49%, and its expenses would total $98 for a $1,000 contract
surrendered at the end of 1 year, $131 if surrendered at the end of 3 years,
$176 if surrendered at the end of 5 years or $204 if surrendered at the end of
10 years. For a $1,000 contract annuitized or not surrendered, the expenses
without the waiver would be $18 for 1 year, $54 for 3 years, $94 for 5 years or
$204 for 10 years.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The complete financial statements of VAA and Ohio National Life, and the
Independent Auditors' Reports thereon, may be found in the Statement of
Additional Information.
THE OHIO NATIONAL COMPANIES
OHIO NATIONAL LIFE
Ohio National Life was organized under the laws of Ohio in 1909 as a stock life
insurance company and became a mutual life insurance company in 1959. It writes
life, accident and health insurance and annuities in 46 states and the District
of Columbia. Currently it has assets in excess of $5.5 billion and equity in
excess of $500 million. Its home office is located at 237 William Howard Taft
Road, Cincinnati, Ohio.
OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT A
VAA was established in 1969 by Ohio National Life as a separate account under
Ohio law for the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts. Purchase
payments for the variable annuity contracts are allocated to one or more
subaccounts of VAA. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from
assets allocated to VAA are, as provided in the contracts, credited to or
charged against VAA without regard to other income, gains or losses of Ohio
National Life. The assets maintained in VAA will not be charged with any
liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by Ohio National Life.
Nevertheless, all obligations arising under the contracts, including the
commitment to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of Ohio
National Life. Accordingly, all of Ohio National Life's assets are available to
meet its obligations under the contracts. VAA is registered as a unit investment
trust under the 1940 Act.

<PAGE> 10
OHIO NATIONAL FUND, INC.
The assets of each subaccount of VAA are invested at net asset value (without an
initial sales charge) in shares of a corresponding portfolio of the Fund: the
Equity Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, Bond Portfolio, Omni Portfolio (a
flexible portfolio fund), International Portfolio, Capital Appreciation
Portfolio, Small Cap Portfolio, Global Contrarian Portfolio or Aggressive Growth
Portfolio. The Fund is a diversified, open-end, management investment company
registered under the 1940 Act. The value of the Fund's investments fluctuates
daily and is subject to the risk of changing economic conditions as well as the
risk inherent in the ability of management to anticipate changes necessary in
such investments to meet changes in economic conditions. The Fund receives
investment advice, for a fee, from its investment adviser, Ohio National
Investments, Inc., and from Societe Generale Asset Management Corp. (sub-adviser
to the International and Global Contrarian Portfolios), T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc. (sub-adviser to the Capital Appreciation Portfolio), Founders
Asset Management, Inc. (sub-adviser to the Small Cap Portfolio), and Strong
Capital Management, Inc. (sub-adviser to the Aggressive Growth Portfolio). For
additional information concerning the Fund, including the investment objectives
of each of its portfolios, see the attached Fund prospectus. Read the Fund
prospectus carefully before investing.
In addition to being offered to VAA, Fund shares are currently offered to other
separate accounts of Ohio National Life in connection with variable annuity
contracts and a separate account of Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation in
connection with variable life insurance contracts. In the future, Fund shares
may be offered to other insurance company separate accounts. It is conceivable
that in the future it may become disadvantageous for both variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts to invest in the Fund. Although neither Ohio
National Life nor the Fund currently foresees any such disadvantage, the Board
of Directors of the Fund will monitor events in order to identify any material
conflict between variable life and variable annuity contractowners and to
determine what action, if any, should be taken in response thereto, including
the possible withdrawal of VAA's participation in the Fund. Material conflicts
could result from such things as (1) changes in state insurance law; (2) changes
in federal income tax law; (3) changes in the investment management of any
portfolio of the Fund; or (4) differences between voting instructions given by
variable life and variable annuity contractowners.
VOTING RIGHTS
Ohio National Life shall vote Fund shares held in VAA at meetings of Fund
shareholders in accordance with voting instructions received from contract
owners. The number of Fund shares for which an owner is entitled to give
instructions will be determined by Ohio National Life in the manner described
below, not more than 90 days prior to the meeting of the Fund. Fund proxy
material will be distributed to each owner together with appropriate forms for
giving voting instructions. Fund shares held in VAA, for which no timely
instructions are received, will be voted by Ohio National Life in proportion to
the instructions which are received with respect to all contracts participating
in VAA.
During the accumulation period, the number of Fund shares for which instructions
may be given to Ohio National Life is determined by dividing the variable
accumulation value of a subaccount of the contract by the net asset value of a
share of the corresponding Fund portfolio as of the same date. During the
annuity payment period, the number of Fund portfolio shares for which such
instructions may be given is determined by dividing the actuarial liability for
variable annuities in the course of payment by the net asset value of a Fund
portfolio share as of the same date. Generally, the number of votes tends to
decrease as annuity payments progress.
DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
The variable annuity contracts are sold by Ohio National Life insurance agents
who are also registered representatives (a) of The O.N. Equity Sales Company
("ONESCO"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ohio National Life, registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. or (b) of other broker-dealers that have entered into
distribution agreements with the principal underwriter of the contracts. At the
date of this prospectus, ONESCO was the principal underwriter of the contracts.
However, pending receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, Ohio National
Equities, Inc., a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Ohio National Life, will become
the principal underwriter. As compensation for their sales efforts, ONESCO
6
<PAGE> 11
and the other broker-dealers will receive a fee from Ohio National Life equal to
6% of purchase payments. ONESCO and the other broker-dealers will remunerate
their registered representatives from their own funds. Purchase payments on
which no compensation is paid to registered representatives will not be included
in amounts on which the 6% sales compensation will be paid to ONESCO and the
other broker-dealers. To the extent that the amount of the contingent deferred
sales charge received by Ohio National Life is not sufficient to recover the fee
paid to ONESCO and the other broker-dealers, any deficiency will be made up from
Ohio National Life's general account assets which include, among other things,
any profit from the mortality and expense risk charges.
DEDUCTIONS AND EXPENSES
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
No deduction for sales expense is made from purchase payments. A contingent
deferred sales charge may be assessed by Ohio National Life when a contract is
surrendered or a partial withdrawal of accumulation value is made before the
annuity payout date to defray expenses relating to the sale of the contract,
including compensation to sales personnel, cost of sales literature and
prospectuses, and other expenses related to sales activity. Such charge equals
the lesser of (a) 7-3/4% of the total purchase payments made during the 96
months immediately preceding the surrender or partial withdrawal, or (b) 7-3/4%
of the accumulation value being surrendered or withdrawn. On or after the first
contract anniversary, a partial withdrawal of not more than 10% of the
accumulation value (as of the date the partial withdrawal is requested) may be
made once each contract year without the imposition of the contingent deferred
sales charge.
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION CHARGE
Each year on the contract anniversary (or at the time of surrender of the
contract), Ohio National Life will deduct a contract administration charge of
$30 from the accumulation value to reimburse it for the expenses relating to the
maintenance of the contract. Such charge is not designed to produce a profit and
Ohio National Life does not expect to recover from such charge any amount in
excess of accumulated administrative expenses. Ohio National Life guarantees not
to change the contract administration charge.
DEDUCTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
A deduction is made at the end of each valuation period equal to 0.25% on an
annual basis of the contract value for administrative expenses. This deduction
is not designed to produce a profit but to reimburse Ohio National Life for
expenses incurred for accounting, auditing, legal, contract owner services,
reports to regulatory authorities and contract owners, contract issue, etc., not
covered by the contract administration charge. Because the administrative
expense deduction is a percentage of assets, it is possible that larger
contracts may bear a portion of the cost of administering smaller contracts.
DEDUCTION FOR RISK UNDERTAKINGS
Prior to the annuity payout date, Ohio National Life guarantees that the
accumulation value of all contracts will not be affected by any excess of sales
and administrative expenses over the deductions provided therefor. Ohio National
Life also guarantees to pay a death benefit in the event of the annuitant's
death prior to the annuity payout date (see Death Benefit, page 11). After the
annuity payout date, Ohio National Life guarantees that variable annuity
payments will not be affected by adverse mortality experience or expenses.
7
<PAGE> 12
For assuming these risks, Ohio National Life, in determining the accumulation
unit values and the annuity unit values for each subaccount, makes a deduction
from the applicable investment results equal to 0.85% of the contract value on
an annual basis. Such deduction may be decreased by Ohio National Life at any
time and may be increased not more frequently than annually to not more than
1.55% on an annual basis. Although Ohio National Life views the risk charge as
an indivisible whole, of the amount currently being deducted, it has estimated
that a reasonable allocation would be 0.35% for mortality risk, and 0.5% for
expense risk. Although Ohio National Life hopes to realize a profit from this
charge, if the deduction is insufficient to cover the actual risk involved, the
loss will fall on Ohio National Life; conversely, if the deduction proves more
than sufficient, the excess will be a gain to Ohio National Life.
TRANSFER FEE
A transfer fee of $3 (which may be increased to $15) is made for each transfer
from one subaccount to another. The fee is charged against the subaccount from
which the transfer is effected. Currently, no fee is charged for the first four
transfers each year.
DEDUCTION FOR STATE PREMIUM TAX
Most states do not presently charge a premium tax for these contracts. Where a
tax applies, the rates are presently 0.5% in California, 1.0% in Puerto Rico and
West Virginia, 2.0% in Kentucky and 2.25% in the District of Columbia. Normally,
any such applicable taxes will not be deducted until annuity payments begin
rather than being deducted from purchase payments.
FUND EXPENSES
There are deductions from, and expenses paid out of, the assets of the Fund.
These are described in the attached Fund prospectus.
DESCRIPTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
20-DAY FREE LOOK
The contract owner may revoke the contract at any time until the end of 20 days
after receipt of the contract and receive a refund of the entire purchase price.
To revoke, the owner must return the contract to Ohio National Life within the
20 day period. In those states where required by state law, the value of the
contract as of the date of cancellation will be returned in lieu of the entire
purchase price in case of revocation during the 20 day free look period.
ACCUMULATION PERIOD
PURCHASE PAYMENT PROVISIONS
The contracts provide for minimum purchase payments of $25 per payment and a
maximum payment of $10,000 per year. (Larger total payments may be made with
Ohio National Life's consent.) Payments after the first may be made at any time.
Failure to make such payments shall not constitute a default, but could result
in involuntary termination (see Ohio National Life's Right to Terminate, page
10).
ACCUMULATION UNITS
Prior to the annuity payout date, the contract value is measured by accumulation
units. Each purchase payment results in the crediting of accumulation units to
the contract (see Crediting Accumulation Units, below). The number of
accumulation units so credited remains constant but the dollar value of
accumulation units will vary depending upon the investment results of the
particular subaccount to which payments are allocated.
8
<PAGE> 13
CREDITING ACCUMULATION UNITS
Completed application forms, together with a check for the first purchase
payment, are forwarded to the home office of Ohio National Life for acceptance.
Upon acceptance, a contract is issued to the contract owner, and the first
purchase payment is then credited to the contract in the form of accumulation
units. Initial purchase payments are credited not later than two business days
after receipt if the application and all information necessary for processing
the purchase payment are complete. If an application is not accepted within five
business days, the purchase payment will be returned immediately to the
applicant unless the applicant specifically consents to having Ohio National
Life retain the purchase payment until the application is completed. After that,
the purchase payment will be credited within two business days. Subsequent
purchase payments are sent directly to the home office of Ohio National Life and
are applied to provide that number of accumulation units (for each subaccount)
determined by dividing the amount of the purchase payment by the value of the
appropriate accumulation unit next computed after the payment is received at the
home office of Ohio National Life.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
In the contract application, you may direct the allocation of your purchase
payments among the subaccounts of VAA and the general account of Ohio National
Life. The amount allocated to any subaccount or the general account must equal a
whole percentage. The allocation of future purchase payments may be changed at
any time upon written notice to the home office of Ohio National Life.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE AND ACCUMULATION VALUE
The accumulation unit value of each subaccount of VAA was set at $10 when the
first payment was allocated to each such subaccount. The accumulation unit value
for any subsequent valuation period is determined by multiplying the
accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period by the
net investment factor (described below) for such subsequent valuation period.
The accumulation value is determined by multiplying the total number of
accumulation units (for each subaccount) credited to the contract by the
accumulation unit value (for such subaccount) for the valuation period for which
the accumulation value is being determined.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The net investment factor is a quantitative measure of the investment results of
each subaccount of VAA. The net investment factor for each subaccount for any
valuation period is determined by dividing (a) by (b), then subtracting (c) from
the result, where:
(a) is -
(1) the net asset value of a share in the appropriate portfolio of the
Fund determined as of the end of a valuation period, plus
(2) The per share amount of any dividends or other distributions declared
for that portfolio by the Fund if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during
the valuation period, plus or minus
(3) per share charge or credit for any taxes paid or reserved for which is
determined by Ohio National Life to result from the maintenance or
operation of that subaccount of VAA; (No federal income taxes are
applicable under present law.)
(b) is the net asset value of a share in the appropriate portfolio of the Fund
determined as the end of the preceding valuation period; and
(c) is the deduction for administrative and sales expenses and risk
undertakings. (See Deduction for Administrative Expenses, page 7, and,
Deduction for Risk Undertakings, page 7.)
9
<PAGE> 14
OHIO NATIONAL LIFE'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE
Ohio National Life may, at its option, require surrender of a contract on any
anniversary when the accumulation value is less than the lesser of (a) $1,000 or
(b) $250 times the number of years the contract has been in force. Such
termination could have adverse tax consequences. (See Federal Tax Status, page
15.) Such termination will not be made on an individual retirement annuity (IRA)
if a purchase payment has been made during the preceding two years, nor will it
be made on an annuity funding a Section 403(b) salary reduction agreement.
SURRENDER AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL
Prior to the annuity payout date, the owner of a contract may surrender (totally
withdraw the value of) his or her contract for its accumulation value or elect a
partial (at least $100) withdrawal therefrom. These transactions may be subject
to the contingent deferred sales charge described on page 7. Such charge is a
percentage of the total amount withdrawn. For example, if a partial withdrawal
of $100 is requested, Ohio National Life would pay you $100, but the total
amount deducted from the accumulation value would be $108.40 (i.e., $108.40 x
7-3/4% = $8.40). Unless otherwise specified, the withdrawal will be made
pro-rata from the values of each subaccount. The amount available for withdrawal
is the sum of the subaccount values less the contingent deferred sales charge,
if any. In the case of a complete surrender, the amount payable is also reduced
by the amount of the contract administration charge. Payment by Ohio National
Life shall be made within seven days from the date of receipt of the request for
such payment except as it may be deferred under the circumstances described
below. Surrenders and partial withdrawals are limited or not permitted in
connection with certain retirement plans. See Texas Optional Retirement Program,
page 12, and Tax Deferred Annuities, page 15. For tax consequences of a
surrender or withdrawal, see Federal Tax Status, page 15.
Occasionally Ohio National Life may receive a request for a surrender or partial
withdrawal which includes contract values derived from purchase payments which
have not cleared the banking system. Ohio National Life may delay mailing that
portion which relates to such payments until the check for the purchase payment
has cleared. Ohio National Life requires the return of the contract in the case
of a complete surrender.
The right to withdraw may be suspended or the date of payment postponed (1) for
any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than
customary weekend and holiday closings) or during which trading on the Exchange,
as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, is restricted; (2) for
any period during which an emergency, as determined by the Commission, exists as
a result of which disposal of securities held in the Fund is not reasonably
practical, or it is not reasonably practical to determine the value of the
Fund's net assets; or (3) or such other periods as the Commission may by order
permit for the protection of security holders.
TRANSFERS AMONG SUBACCOUNTS
Contract values may be transferred from one subaccount to another upon the
request of the owner. Transfers may be made at any time during the accumulation
period. The amount of any such transfer must be at least $300 (or the entire
value of the contract's interest in a subaccount, if less). Ohio National
reserves the right to limit the number, frequency, method or amount of
transfers. Transfers from any portfolio of the Fund on any one day may be
limited to 1% of the previous day's total net assets of that portfolio if Ohio
National Life or the Fund in its or their discretion, believes that the
portfolio might otherwise be damaged. After the annuity payout date, transfers
among subaccounts can only be made once each calendar quarter. Such transfers
may then be made without a transfer fee. (See Transfer Fee, page 8, and
Transfers After Annuity Payout Date, page 13).
10
<PAGE> 15
SCHEDULED TRANSFERS (DOLLAR COST AVERAGING)
Ohio National Life administers a scheduled transfer ("DCA") program enabling you
to preauthorize automatic monthly or quarterly transfers of a specified dollar
amount from any variable subaccount(s) to any other subaccount(s), including the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account. Each DCA transfer must b at least $500 and at
least 12 DCA transfers must be scheduled. No transfer fee is charged for DCA
transfers. Ohio National Life may discontinue the DCA program at any time. You
may also discontinue further DCA transfers by giving Ohio National Life written
notice at least 7 business days before the next scheduled transfer.
DCA generally has the effect of reducing the risk of purchasing at the top, and
selling at the bottom, of market cycles. DCA transfers from a fund with a
stabilized net asset value, such as the Money Market subaccount, will generally
reduce the average total cost of indirectly purchasing Fund shares because
greater numbers of shares will be purchased when the share prices are lower than
when prices are higher. However, DCA does not assure you of a profit, nor does
it protect against losses in a declining market. Moreover, for transfers from a
subaccount not having a stabilized net asset value, DCA will have the effect of
reducing the average price of the shares being redeemed. DCA might also be used
to systematically transfer accumulation values from variable subaccounts to the
General Accumulation Account, in anticipation of retirement, in order to reduce
the risk of making a single transfer during a low market.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
If the contract owner first submits a pre-authorization form to Ohio National
Life, transfers may be made by telephoning Ohio National Life at 1-800-635-3225.
Ohio National Life will honor pre-authorized telephone transfer instructions
from anyone who is able to provide the personal identifying information
requested, but reserves the right to refuse to honor any such request if that
seems prudent. Ohio National Life will use reasonable procedures to confirm that
telephone instructions are genuine. (Otherwise, Ohio National Life may be liable
for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.) A written
confirmation will be sent following each telephone transfer.
DEATH BENEFIT
In the event of the death of the annuitant prior to the annuity payout date, the
contract provides a death benefit to be paid to a designated beneficiary. The
amount of the death benefit will be determined as of the end of the valuation
period in which written notice of death of the annuitant is received by Ohio
National Life. It will be paid in one sum into an interest-bearing checking
account established in the beneficiary's name with Bank One, Springfield,
Illinois, unless the owner elects settlement under one or more of the settlement
options provided in the contract. The checking account will bear interest based
upon then current money market rates. The beneficiary will then be able to write
checks against such account at any time and in any amount up to the total in the
account. Such checks must be for a minimum of $250. The amount of death benefit
is the accumulation value of the contract or, if greater, the total purchase
payments made less any partial withdrawals.
OHIO NATIONAL LIFE EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT
Ohio National Life and its affiliated companies offer a credit on the purchase
of contracts by any of their employees, directors or retirees, or their spouse
or the surviving spouse of a deceased retiree, covering any of the foregoing or
any of their minor children, or any of their children ages 18 to 21 who is
either (i) living in the purchaser's household or (ii) a full-time college
student being supported by the purchaser, or any of the purchaser's minor
grandchildren under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. This credit is treated as
additional income under the contract. The amount of the credit equals 3.2% of
all purchase payments made in the first contract year and 5.5% of purchase
payments made in the second through sixth contract years. Ohio National Life
credits the Guaranteed Accumulation Account of the employee's contract in the
foregoing amounts at the time of each payment made by the employee.
11
<PAGE> 16
TEXAS STATE OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM
Under the Texas State Optional Retirement Program (the "Program"), purchase
payments may be excluded from the gross income of state employees for federal
tax purposes to the extent that such purchase payments do not exceed the
exclusion allowance provided by the Code. The Attorney General of Texas has
interpreted the Program as prohibiting any participating state employee from
receiving the surrender value of a contract funding benefits under the Program
prior to termination of employment or the state employee's retirement, death or
total disability. Therefore, no surrender or partial withdrawal by a participant
in the Program will be allowed until the first of these events occurs.
ANNUITY PERIOD
ANNUITY PAYOUT DATE
Annuity payments under a contract will begin on the annuity payout date. This
date is selected by the owner at the time the contract is issued and must be at
least 30 days after the contract date. It may be changed from time to time by
the owner so long as the annuity payout date selected is the first day of any
month at least 30 days after the date of such change. The contract restricts the
annuity payout date to not later than the first of the month following the
annuitant's 75th birthday; however, this restriction may be waived by mutual
agreement between Ohio National Life and the owner.
The contracts include Ohio National Life's assurance that annuity payments will
be paid for the lifetime of the annuitant in accordance with the annuity rates
contained in the contract, regardless of actual mortality experience.
Once annuity payments commence, the contract cannot be surrendered for cash
except that, upon the death of the annuitant, the beneficiary shall be entitled
to surrender the contract for the commuted value of any remaining period-certain
payments.
ANNUITY OPTIONS
The owner may elect one or more of the following annuity options, and may change
such election anytime before the annuity payout date.
Option 1(a): Life Annuity with installment payments for the lifetime of
the annuitant (under this option it is possible for the annuitant
to receive only one payment; this could happen if the annuitant
should die before receiving the second payment; there is no
residual value of the contract after annuitant's death).
Option 1(b): Life Annuity with installment payments guaranteed for five years
and continuing thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the
annuitant. Option 1(c): Life Annuity with installment payments
guaranteed for ten years and continuing thereafter during the
remaining lifetime of the annuitant. Option 1(d): Installment
Refund Life Annuity with payments guaranteed for a period certain
and continuing thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the
annuitant. The number of period-certain payments is equal to the
amount applied under this option divided by the amount of the
first payment.
Option 2(a): Joint & Survivor Life Annuity with installment payments during the
lifetime of an annuitant and continuing during the lifetime of a
designated contingent annuitant (under this option it is possible
for the annuitant and contingent annuitant to receive only one
payment; this could happen if both were to die before receiving
the second payment).
Option 2(b): Joint & Survivor Life Annuity with installment payments
guaranteed for ten years and continuing thereafter during the
remaining lifetime of the annuitant or a designated contingent
annuitant.
Unless the contract owner directs otherwise, as of the annuity payout date the
contract values will be applied to provide annuity payments pro-rata from each
subaccount in the same proportion as the contract values immediately prior to
the annuity payout date.
12
<PAGE> 17
If no election is in effect on the annuity payout date, the accumulation value
of the contract will be applied under Option 1(c) (except that certain contracts
might require a Joint and Survivor Annuity pursuant to the Pension Reform Act of
1974, as amended) with the beneficiary as payee for any remaining period-certain
installments payable after the death of the annuitant. Options 2(a) and 2(b) are
available only with the consent of Ohio National Life if the contingent
annuitant is not related to the annuitant.
Other settlement options are available as agreed to by Ohio National Life.
DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT OF THE FIRST VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENT
The first variable annuity payment is determined by applying the accumulation
value for each subaccount in accordance with the settlement option tables
contained in the contract. The rates contained in those tables depend upon the
annuitant's (and any contingent annuitant's) age and sex and the option
selected. Contracts issued to plans sponsored by employers subject to Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or similar state statutes use annuity tables
which do not vary with annuitant's sex. The accumulation value to be applied is
determined at the end of a valuation period (selected by Ohio National Life and
uniformly applied) not more than 10 valuation periods before the annuity payout
date.
If the amount to be applied under an option is less than $5,000, the option
shall not be available and accumulation value shall be paid in a single sum to
the annuitant. If the first periodic payment under any option would be less than
$25, Ohio National Life reserves the right to change the frequency of payments
so that the first such payment is at least $25.
ANNUITY UNIT AND THE DETERMINATION OF SUBSEQUENT PAYMENTS
Subsequent variable annuity payments will vary to reflect the investment
performance of each applicable subaccount. The amount of each subsequent payment
is determined by annuity units. The number of annuity units for each subaccount
is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the first annuity payment from
each subaccount by the value of the subaccount annuity unit for the same
valuation period used to determine the accumulation value of the contract
applied to provide annuity payments. This number of annuity units remains fixed
during the annuity payment period unless changed as provided below.
The annuity unit value for each subaccount was set at $10 for the valuation
period as of which the first variable annuity payable from each subaccount of
VAA was calculated. The annuity unit value for each subsequent valuation period
equals the annuity unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period
multiplied by the net investment factor (see page 8) for such subsequent
valuation period and by a factor (0.9998925 for a one-day valuation period) to
neutralize the assumed interest rate discussed below.
The dollar amount of each subsequent variable annuity payment is equal to the
fixed number of annuity units for each subaccount multiplied by the value of the
annuity unit for the valuation period.
The annuity rate tables contained in the contracts are based on the Progressive
Annuity Mortality Table with compound interest at the effective rate of 4% per
year. A higher interest assumption would mean a higher initial annuity payment
but a more slowly rising series of subsequent annuity payments if annuity unit
values were increasing (or a more rapidly falling series of subsequent annuity
payments if annuity unit values were decreasing). A lower interest assumption
would have the opposite effect. If the actual net investment rate were equal to
the assumed interest rate, annuity payments would be level.
TRANSFERS AFTER ANNUITY PAYOUT DATE
After annuity payments have been made for at least 12 months, the annuitant can,
once each 12 months, change the subaccount(s) on which variable annuity payments
are based. On at least 30 days written notice to Ohio National Life at its home
office, that portion of the periodic variable annuity payment directed by the
annuitant will be changed to reflect the investment results of a different
subaccount. The annuity payment immediately after such change will be the amount
that would have been paid without such change. Subsequent payments will reflect
the new mix of subaccount allocation.
13
<PAGE> 18
OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS
ASSIGNMENT
Any amount payable in settlement of the contracts may not be commuted,
anticipated, assigned or otherwise encumbered, or pledged as loan collateral to
any person other than Ohio National Life. To the extent permitted by law, no
such amounts shall be subject in any way to any legal process to subject them to
payment of any claims against an annuitant before the annuity payout date. A
contract may not be assigned before the annuity payout date. Ownership of a
contract may not be transferred except to (1) the annuitant, (2) a trustee or
successor trustee of a pension or profit-sharing trust which is qualified under
Section 401 of the Code, or (3) the employer of the annuitant provided that the
contract after transfer is maintained under the terms of a retirement plan
qualified under Section 403(a) of the Code for the benefit of the annuitant, or
(4) as otherwise permitted by laws and regulations governing plans for which the
contract may be issued.
PERIODIC REPORTS
Ohio National Life will furnish each owner, at least annually after the first
contract year, and prior to the annuity payout date, a statement showing the
number of accumulation units credited to the contract by subaccount and the
accumulation unit value of each such unit as of a date not more than four months
from the date of furnishing of the report. In addition, as long as the contract
remains in effect, Ohio National Life will forward such periodic reports as may
be furnished it by the Fund.
SUBSTITUTION FOR FUND SHARES
If investment in the Fund is no longer possible or in Ohio National Life's
judgment becomes inappropriate to the purposes of the contract, Ohio National
Life may substitute another mutual fund. Substitution may be made with respect
to both existing investments and the investment of future purchase payments.
However, no such substitution will be made without any necessary approval of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. We may also add other investment portfolios
of the Fund as eligible investments of VAA.
CONTRACT OWNER INQUIRIES
Any questions from contract owners should be directed to Ohio National Life,
Variable Annuity Administration, P.O. Box 2669, Cincinnati, Ohio 45201;
telephone (513) 559-6452.
PERFORMANCE DATA
Ohio National Life may advertise performance data for the various Fund
portfolios showing the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit
based on the performance of the applicable portfolio over a period of time
(usually a calendar year). Such percentage change is determined by dividing the
increase (or decrease) in value for the unit by the accumulation unit value at
the beginning of the period. This percentage figure will reflect the deduction
of any asset-based charges under the contract but will not reflect the deduction
of any applicable contract administration charge or contingent deferred sales
charge. The deduction of any applicable contract administration charge or
contingent deferred sales charge would reduce any percentage increase or make
greater any percentage decrease.
Any such advertising will also include average annual total return figures
calculated as shown in the Statement of Additional Information. The average
annual total return figures will reflect the deduction of applicable contract
administration charges and contingent deferred sales charges as well as
applicable asset-based charges.
Ohio National Life may also distribute sales literature comparing separate
account performance to the Consumer Price Index or to such established market
indexes as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock
Index, IBC's Money Fund Reports, Lehman Brothers Bond Indices, the Morgan
Stanley Europe Australia Far East Index, Morgan Stanley World Index, Russell
2000 Index, or other variable annuity separate accounts.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS
The following discussion of federal income tax treatment of amounts received
under a variable annuity contract is not exhaustive, does not purport to cover
all situations, and is not intended as tax advice. A qualified tax adviser
should always be consulted with regard to the application of law to individual
circumstances. Tax laws can change, even with respect to contracts that have
already been issued. Tax law revisions, with unfavorable consequences to
contracts offered by this prospectus, could have retroactive effect on
previously issued contracts or on subsequent voluntary transactions in
previously issued contracts.
Ohio National Life is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Since the operations of VAA are a part
of, and are taxed with, the operations of Ohio National Life, VAA is not
separately taxed as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the
Code.
No federal income tax is payable under present law on dividend income or capital
gains distribution from Fund shares held in VAA or upon capital gains realized
by VAA on redemption of Fund shares.
The contracts described in this prospectus are considered annuity contracts
under Section 72 of the Code, which generally provides for taxation of
annuities. Under existing provisions of the Code, any increase in the
accumulation value of the contract is not taxable to you as the owner or
annuitant until you receive it, either in the form of annuity payments, as
contemplated by the contract, or in some other form of distribution.
When annuity payments commence under the contract each payment is taxable under
Section 72 of the Code as ordinary income in the year of receipt if the
annuitant has neither paid any portion of the purchase payments for the contract
nor has previously been taxed on any portion of the purchase payments. If any
portion of the purchase payments has been paid from or included in your taxable
income, this aggregate amount will be considered your "investment in the
contract." You will be entitled to exclude from your taxable income a portion of
each annuity payment equal to your "investment in the contract" divided by the
period of expected annuity payments, determined by your life expectancy and the
form of annuity benefit. Once your "investment in the contract" is recovered,
the entire portion of each annuity payment will be included in your taxable
income.
If an election is made to receive the accumulated value in a single sum in lieu
of annuity payments, any amount received or withdrawn in excess of the
"investment in the contract" will normally be taxed as ordinary income in the
year received. A partial withdrawal of contract values is taxable as income to
the extent that the accumulated value of the contract immediately before the
payment exceeds the "investment in the contract." Such a withdrawal is treated
as a distribution of earnings first and only second as a recovery of your
"investment in the contract."
There is a penalty tax equal to 10% of any amount that must be included in gross
income for tax purposes. The penalty will not apply to a redemption that is (1)
received on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59-1/2; (2) made to a beneficiary
on or after the death of the annuitant; (3) attributable to the taxpayer's
becoming disabled; (4) made as a series of substantially equal periodic payments
for the life of the annuitant (or joint lives of the annuitant and beneficiary);
(5) from a contract that is a qualified funding asset for purposes of a
structured settlement; or (6) made under an annuity contract that is purchased
with a single premium and with an annuity payout date not later than a year from
the purchase of the annuity. If an election is made not to have withholding
apply to the early withdrawal or if an insufficient amount is withheld, the
contract owner may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may also
incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if the withholding and estimated
tax payments are not sufficient. Failure to provide your taxpayer identification
number will automatically subject any payments under the contract to
withholding.
TAX-DEFERRED ANNUITIES
Under the provisions of Section 403(b) of the Code, purchase payments made for
annuity contracts purchased for employees by public educational institutions and
certain tax-exempt organizations which are described in Section 501(c)(3) of the
Code are excludable from the gross income of such employees to the extent that
the aggregate purchase payments plus any other amounts contributed to the
purchase of a contract and toward benefits under qualified retirement plans do
not exceed the exclusion allowance determined for the employee as set forth in
Sections 403(b) and 415 of the Code. Employee contributions are, however,
subject to social security (FICA) tax withholding. All amounts
15
<PAGE> 20
received by an employee under a contract, either in the form of annuity payments
or cash withdrawal, will be taxed under Section 72 of the Code as ordinary
income for the year received, except for exclusion of any amounts representing
"investment in the contract." Under certain circumstances, amounts received may
be used to make a "tax-free rollover" into one of the types of individual
retirement arrangements permitted under the Code. Amounts received that are
eligible for "tax-free rollover" will be subject to an automatic 20% withholding
unless such amounts are directly rolled over from the tax-deferred annuity to
the individual retirement arrangement.
With respect to earnings accrued and purchase payments made after December 31,
1988, pursuant to a salary reduction agreement under Section 403(b) of the Code,
distributions may be paid only when the employee (a) attains age 59-1/2, (b)
separates from the employer's service, (c) dies, (d) becomes disabled as defined
in the Code, or (e) incurs a financial hardship as defined in the Code. In the
case of hardship, cash distributions may not exceed the amount of such purchase
payments. These restrictions do not affect rights to transfer investments among
the subaccounts and do not limit the availability of transfers between
tax-deferred annuities.
QUALIFIED PENSION OR PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
Under present law, purchase payments made by an employer or trustee, pursuant to
a plan or trust qualified under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, are
generally excludable from gross income of the employee. The portion, if any, of
the purchase payments made by the employee, or which is considered taxable
income to the employee in the year such payments are made, constitutes an
"investment in the contract" under Section 72 of the Code for the employee's
annuity benefits. Salary reduction payments to a profit sharing plan qualifying
under Section 401(k) of the Code are generally excludable from gross income of
the employee.
The Code requires that plans must prohibit any distribution to a plan
participant prior to age 59-1/2, except in the event of death or total
disability. Distributions must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar
year following the year in which the participant reaches age 70-1/2. Premature
distribution of benefits or contributions in excess of those permitted by the
Code may result in certain penalties under the Code.
If an employee, or one or more of the beneficiaries, receives the total amounts
payable with respect to an employee within one taxable year after age 59-1/2 on
account of the employee's death or separation from service of the employer, any
amount received in excess of the employee's "investment in the contract" may be
taxed under special 5-year forward averaging rules. The taxpayer can elect to
have that portion of a lump-sum distribution attributable to years of
participation prior to January 1, 1974 given capital gains treatment. The
percentage of pre-74 distribution subject to capital gains treatment decreases
as follows: 100%, 1987; 95%, 1988; 75%, 1989; 50%, 1990; and 25%, 1991. For tax
years 1992 and thereafter no capital gains treatment is available. The employee
receiving such a distribution may be able to make a "tax-free rollover" of the
distribution less the employee's "investment in the contract" into another
qualified plan in which the employee is a participant or into one of the types
of individual retirement arrangements permitted under the Code. An employee's
surviving spouse receiving such a distribution may be able to make a tax-free
rollover to one of the types of individual retirement arrangements permitted
under the Code. Amounts received that are eligible for "tax-free rollover" will
be subject to an automatic 20% withholding unless such amounts are directly
rolled over to another qualified plan or individual retirement arrangement.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES (IRA)
Section 408(b) of the Code provides that an individual may invest an amount up
to $2,000 per year of earned income in an IRA and claim it as a personal tax
deduction if such person or the person's spouse is not an "active participant"
in an employer maintained qualified retirement plan or such person has adjusted
gross income which does not exceed the "applicable dollar limit." For a single
taxpayer, the applicable dollar limitation is $25,000, with the amount of IRA
contribution which may be deducted reduced proportionately for Adjusted Gross
Income between $25,000-$35,000.
16
<PAGE> 21
For married couples filing jointly, the applicable dollar limitation is $40,000,
with the amount of IRA contribution which may be deducted reduced
proportionately for Adjusted Gross Income between $40,000-$50,000. There is no
deduction allowed for IRA contributions when Adjusted Gross Income reaches
$35,000 for individuals and $50,000 for married couples filing jointly. In the
alternative, an individual otherwise qualified for an IRA may elect to
contribute to an IRA for the individual and for the individual's non-working
spouse, with the total deduction limited to $2,250.
Individuals are permitted to make non-deductible IRA contributions to the extent
they are ineligible to make deductible IRA contributions. Any amount received
from another qualified plan (including another individual retirement
arrangement) which is eligible as a "tax-free rollover" may be invested in an
IRA, and is not counted toward the overall contribution limit. Earnings on
nondeductible IRA contributions are not subject to tax until they are withdrawn.
The combined limit on designated nondeductible and deductible contributions for
a tax year is the lesser of 100% of compensation or $2,000 ($2,250 in the case
of an additional contribution to a spousal IRA).
Distributions (all or part) made prior to age 59-1/2 (except in the case of
death or disability) will result in a penalty tax of 10% plus ordinary income
tax treatment of the amount received. Additionally, there is an excise tax of 6%
of the amount contributed in excess of either the deductible limit or
nondeductible limit, as indicated above, if such amount is not withdrawn prior
to the filing of the income tax return for the year of contribution or applied
as an allowable contribution for a subsequent year. The excise tax will continue
to apply each year until the excess contribution is corrected. Distributions
after age 59-1/2 are treated as ordinary income at the time received.
Distributions must commence before April 1 following the year in which the
individual reaches age 70-1/2. A 50% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on the
excess in any tax year of the amount that should have been distributed over the
amount actually distributed.
SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS (SEPPS)
Under Section 408 of the Code, employers may establish SEPPs for their
employees. Under these plans the employer may contribute on behalf of an
employee to an individual retirement account or annuity. The amount of the
contribution is excludible from the employee's income.
Certain employees who participate in a SEPP will be entitled to elect to have
the employer make contributions to a SEPP on their behalf or to receive the
contributions in cash. If the employee elects to have contributions made on the
employee's behalf to a SEPP, it is not treated as current taxable income to the
employee. Elective deferrals under a SEPP are subject to an inflation-indexed
limit which is $9,500 for 1996. Salary-reduction SEPPs are available only if at
least 50% of the employees elect to have amounts contributed to the SEPP and if
the employer has 25 or fewer employees at any time during the preceding year.
An employee may also take a deduction for individual contributions to the IRA,
subject to the limits applicable to IRAs in general. Withdrawals from the IRAs
to which the employer contributes must be permitted. These withdrawals, however,
are subject to the general rules with respect to withdrawals from IRAs.
WITHHOLDING ON DISTRIBUTION
Distributions from tax-deferred annuities or qualified pension or profit sharing
plans that are eligible for "tax-free rollover" will be subject to an automatic
20% withholding unless such amounts are directly rolled over to an individual
retirement arrangement or another qualified plan. Federal income tax withholding
on annuity payments is required. However, recipients of annuity payments are
allowed to elect not to have the tax withheld. Such an election may be revoked
at any time with respect to annuity payments and thereafter withholding would
commence. Failure to provide your taxpayer identification number will
automatically subject any payments under the contract to withholding.

PRIOR CONTRACTS
ANNUAL PAYMENT VARIABLE ANNUITY
Prior to December 15, 1981, Ohio National Life and VAA issued Annual Payment
Variable Annuity contracts, some of which by their terms remain active and under
which payments may still be made. These contracts called for deductions from
purchase payments in the following amounts:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

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

Balance over $100,000 3.3% 1.2% 0.5% 5.0%
</TABLE>
*Plus 50(cent) per payment
These deductions are in lieu of any contingent deferred sales charge, contract
administration charge and deduction for administrative expense as provided for
in the contracts described in this prospectus. The deduction for mortality and
expense risk undertakings is 1% of the contract value on an annual basis. Such
deduction may be decreased by Ohio National Life at any time and may be
increased not more frequently than annually to not more than 1.5% on an annual
basis.
These prior contracts provide for annuity payments on a 3-1/2% assumed interest
rate which results in a somewhat smaller initial annuity payment, but one that
rises more rapidly in a rising market and falls more slowly in a declining
market. These contracts provide for accumulation of values only in what now
constitutes the Equity subaccount of VAA and/or on a fixed-dollar guaranteed
basis within the general assets of Ohio National Life with limited transfer
privileges between such fixed-dollar accumulation and the Equity subaccount.
VARIABLE INTEREST ANNUITY
From July 15, 1981 until November 2, 1982 Ohio National Life and the Variable
Interest Account, a separate account of Ohio National Life funded by the Money
Market Portfolio of the Fund, issued Variable Interest Annuity contracts. Under
the terms of these contracts, purchase payments can be continued until the
annuity commencement date specified therein. These contracts are substantially
the same as the contracts described in this prospectus except that there is no
right to transfer the contract values to any other underlying funding media.
These contracts also included a guarantee of the investment performance. Such
investment guarantee is regarded as a separate security offered by Ohio National
Life. The deduction for mortality, expense and investment risk undertaking is
1.3% of the contract value on an annual basis. Such deduction may be decreased
by Ohio National Life at any time and may be increased not more frequently than
annually to not more than 2% on an annual basis. These contracts do not provide
for a deduction from contract value for administrative expense. They do provide
for a contract administration charge and a contingent deferred sales charge.
FLEXIBLE PAYMENT COMBINATION ANNUITY
From December 1, 1981 until November 2, 1982, Ohio National Life and VAA issued
Flexible Payment Combination Annuity contracts. Under the terms of these
contracts purchase payments can be continued until the annuity commencement date
specified therein. These contracts are substantially the same as the contracts
described in this prospectus except that values can be accumulated only in what
now constitutes the Equity subaccount of VAA and/or within the general assets of
Ohio National Life on a fixed-dollar guaranteed basis. A deduction is made at
the end of each valuation period for the administrative expense and mortality
and expense risk undertakings equal to 1.1% on an
18
<PAGE> 23
annual basis. Such deduction may be decreased by Ohio National at any time and
may be increased not more frequently than annually to not more than 1.75% on an
annual basis. Although these contracts provide for limited transfer of values
between the Equity subaccount and the general assets of Ohio National Life, such
transfer is only permitted during the accumulation period.
MULTIPLE FUNDED COMBINATION ANNUITY
From November 2, 1982 to September 10, 1984, Ohio National Life and VAA issued
Multiple Funded Combination Annuity contracts substantially the same as the
contracts described in this prospectus. However, such prior contracts include a
guarantee of the investment performance of the Money Market subaccount and a
deduction therefor at the end of each valuation period equal to 0.2% of Money
Market assets on an annual basis. Such investment guarantee is regarded as a
separate security offered by Ohio National Life. In addition, the rate for the
contingent deferred sales charge for such prior contracts is 5% and the
deduction for risk undertakings is 1.3%.

APPENDIX A
IRA DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
This statement is designed to help you understand the requirements of federal
tax law which apply to your individual retirement annuity (IRA), your simplified
employee pension IRA (SEPP-IRA) for employer contributions, or to one you
purchase for your spouse (see "IRA for Non-working Spouse", page 22). You can
obtain more information regarding your IRA either from your sales representative
or from any district office of the Internal Revenue Service.
FREE LOOK PERIOD
The annuity contract offered by this prospectus gives you the opportunity to
return the contract for a full refund within 20 days after it is delivered (see
page 8). This is a more liberal provision than is required in connection with
IRA's. To exercise this "free-look" provision write or call the address shown
below:
The Ohio National Life Insurance Company
P. O. Box 2669
Cincinnati, Ohio 45201
Telephone: (513) 559-6452 - 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time Zone)
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
IRAs are intended for all persons with earned compensation whether or not they
are covered under other retirement programs. Additionally if you have a
non-working spouse (and you file a joint tax return), you may establish an IRA
on behalf of your non-working spouse. A working spouse may establish his or her
own IRA. A divorced spouse receiving taxable alimony (and no other income) may
also establish an IRA.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND DEDUCTIONS
Contributions to your IRA will be deductible if you or your spouse is not an
"active participant" in an employer maintained qualified retirement plan or you
have Adjusted Gross Income which does not exceed the "applicable dollar limit".
IRA (or SEPP-IRA) contributions must be made by no later than the time you file
your income tax return for that year (i.e. April 15 if you are a calendar-year
taxpayer). For a single taxpayer, the applicable dollar limitation is $25,000,
with the amount of IRA contribution which may be deducted reduced
proportionately for Adjusted Gross Income between $25,000-$35,000. For married
couples filing jointly, the applicable dollar limitation is $40,000, with the
amount of IRA contribution which may be deducted reduced proportionately for
Adjusted Gross Income between $40,000-$50,000. There is no deduction allowed for
IRA contributions when Adjusted Gross Income reaches $35,000 for individuals and
$50,000 for married couples filing jointly.
Contributions made by your employer to your SEPP-IRA are excludible from your
gross income for tax purposes in the calendar year for which the amount is
contributed. Certain employees who participate in a SEPP-IRA will be entitled to
elect to have their employer make contributions to their SEPP-IRA on their
behalf or to receive the contributions in cash. If the employee elects to have
contributions made on the employee's behalf to the SEPP, those funds are not
treated as current taxable income to the employee. Elective deferrals under a
SEPP-IRA are subject to an inflation-adjusted limit which is $9,500 for 1996.
Salary-reduction SEPP-IRAs are available only if at least 50% of the employees
elect to have amounts contributed to the SEPP-IRA and if the employer has 25 or
fewer employees at any time during the preceding year.
The IRA maximum annual contribution and your tax deduction is limited to the
lesser of: (1) $2,000 or (2) 100% of your earned compensation. Contributions in
excess of the deduction limits may be subject to penalty. See below.
22
<PAGE> 27
Under a SEPP-IRA agreement, the maximum annual contribution which your employer
may make on your behalf to a SEPP-IRA contract which is excludable from your
income is $22,500. An employee who is a participant in a SEPP-IRA agreement may
make after-tax contributions to the SEPP-IRA contract, subject to the
contribution limits applicable to IRAs in general. Those employee contributions
will be deductible subject to the deductibility rules described above.
The maximum tax deductible annual contribution that a divorced spouse with no
other income may make to an IRA is the lesser of (1) $2,000 or (2) 100% of
taxable alimony.
If you or your employer should contribute more than the maximum contribution
amount to your IRA or SEPP-IRA, the excess amount will be considered an "excess
contribution". You are permitted to withdraw an excess contribution from your
IRA or SEPP-IRA before your tax filing date without adverse tax consequences.
If, however, you fail to withdraw any such excess contribution before your tax
filing date, a 6% excise tax will be imposed on the excess for the tax year of
contribution.
Once the 6% excise tax has been imposed, an additional 6% penalty for the
following tax year can be avoided if the excess is (1) withdrawn before the end
of the following year, or (2) treated as a current contribution for the
following year. (See Pre-mature Distributions, page 24, for penalties imposed on
withdrawal when the contribution exceeds $2,250).
No contribution may be made to your IRA or SEPP-IRA during or after the tax year
in which you attain age 70-1/2.
IRA FOR NON-WORKING SPOUSE
If you establish an IRA for yourself, you will also be eligible to establish an
IRA for your spouse if your spouse receives no earned compensation for the tax
year. Contribution to both IRA's may not exceed $2,250. If the requirements for
deductibility are met, you will only be able to deduct an amount equal to the
least of: (1) amount contributed, (2) $2,250 or (3) 100% of your compensation.
Contributions in excess of the contribution limits may be subject to penalty.
See above under "Contributions and Deductions."
If you contribute more than the amount you may contribute, the excess portion
will be considered an excess contribution. The rules for correcting it are the
same as discussed above for regular IRAs.
You may not make a contribution to your or your spouse's IRA during or after the
tax year in which you (or your spouse) reach age 70-1/2. If your spouse attains
age 70-1/2. and you have not, you may continue to make contributions to your own
IRA until the year you reach that age.
Other than the items mentioned in this section, all of the requirements
generally applicable to IRAs are also applicable to IRAs established for
non-working spouses.
ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTION
Once every year, you are permitted to withdraw any portion of the value of your
IRA or SEPP-IRA and reinvest it in another IRA or bond. Withdrawals may also be
made from other IRAs and contributed to this contract. This transfer of funds
from one IRA to another is called a "rollover" IRA. To qualify as a rollover
contribution, the entire portion of the withdrawal must be reinvested in another
IRA within 60 days after the date it is received. You will not be allowed a
tax-deduction for the amount of any rollover contribution.
A similar type of rollover to an IRA can be made with the proceeds of a
qualified distribution from a qualified retirement plan or tax-sheltered
annuity. Properly made, such a distribution will not be taxable until you
receive payments from the IRA created with it. Unless you were a self-employed
participant in the distributing plan, you may later rollover such a contribution
to another qualified retirement plan as long as you have not mixed it with IRA
(or SEPP-IRA) contributions you have deducted from your income. (You may roll
less than all of a qualified distribution into an IRA, but any part of it not
rolled over will be currently includable in your income without any capital
gains treatment.)
23
<PAGE> 28
PRE-MATURE DISTRIBUTIONS
At no time can your interest in your IRA or SEPP-IRA be forfeited. To insure
that your contributions will be used for your retirement, the federal tax law
does not permit you to use your IRA or SEPP-IRA as security for a loan.
Furthermore, as a general rule, you may not sell or assign your interest in your
IRA or SEPP-IRA to anyone. Use of an IRA (or SEPP-IRA) as security or assignment
of it to another will invalidate the entire annuity. It then will be includable
in your income in the year it is invalidated and will be subject to a 10%
penalty tax if you are not at least age 59-1/2. or totally disabled. (You may,
however, assign your IRA or SEPP-IRA without penalty to your former spouse in
accordance with the terms of a divorce decree.)
You may surrender any portion of the value of your IRA (or SEPP-IRA). In the
case of a partial surrender which does not qualify as a rollover, the amount
withdrawn will be includable in your income and subject to the 10% penalty if
you are not at least age 59-1/2. or totally disabled.
The 10% penalty tax does not apply to the withdrawal of an excess contribution
as long as not more than $2,250 has been contributed to your account for the
year of the excess contribution. Unless you have attained age 59-1/2. (or have
become totally disabled), a 10% penalty tax will be imposed on the part of an
excess contribution greater than $2,250 which is withdrawn after your tax filing
date. If employer contributions have been made to a SEPP-IRA, a 10% penalty tax
will be imposed on the part of the excess contribution withdrawn after your tax
filing date which exceeds the lesser of (1) $32,250, or (2) $2,250 plus the
amount of the employer contribution to the SEPP-IRA.
DISTRIBUTION AT RETIREMENT
Once you have attained age 59-1/2. (or have become totally disabled), you may
elect to receive a distribution of your IRA (or SEPP-IRA) regardless of when you
actually retire. You may elect to receive the distribution in either one sum or
under any one of the periodic payment options available under the contract. The
distributions from your IRA under any one of the periodic payment options or in
one sum will be treated as ordinary income as you receive them.
INADEQUATE OR UNDER DISTRIBUTIONS - 50% TAX
Your IRA or SEPP-IRA is intended to provide retirement benefits over your
lifetime. Thus, federal law requires that you either (1) receive a lump-sum
distribution of your IRA by April 1 of the year following the year in which you
attain age 70-1/2. or (2) start to receive periodic payments by that date. If
you elect to receive periodic payments, those payments must be sufficient to pay
out the entire value of your IRA during your life expectancy (or over the joint
life expectancies of you and your spouse). If the payments are not sufficient to
meet these requirements, an excise tax of 50% will be imposed on the amount of
any underpayment.
DEATH BENEFITS
If you, (or your surviving spouse) die before receiving the entire value of your
IRA (or SEPP-IRA), the remaining interest must be distributed to your
beneficiary (or your surviving spouse's beneficiary) in one lump-sum or applied
to purchase an immediate annuity for the beneficiary. This annuity must be
payable over the life expectancy of the beneficiary within one year after your
or your spouse's death. A distribution of the balance of your IRA upon your
death will not be considered a gift for federal tax purposes, but will be
included in your gross estate for purposes of federal estate taxes.
PROTOTYPE STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has been requested to review the format of your
SEPP, and to issue an opinion letter to Ohio National Life stating that your IRA
qualifies as a prototype SEPP.
REPORTING TO THE IRS
Whenever you are liable for one of the penalty taxes discussed above (6% for
excess contributions, 10% for pre-mature distributions or 50% for under
payments), you must file Form 5329 with the Internal Revenue Service. The form
is to be attached to your federal income tax return for the tax year in which
the penalty applies. Normal contributions and distributions must be shown on
your income tax return for the year to which they relate.

CUSTODIAN
Ohio National Life has executed an agreement with The Provident Bank ("the
Bank"), Cincinnati, Ohio, pursuant to which the shares of Ohio National Fund,
Inc. ("Fund") and other assets credited to VAA will be held in the custody of
the Bank. The agreement provides that the Bank will purchase Fund shares at
their net asset value determined as of the end of the valuation period of VAA
during which the purchase payment is received by Ohio National Life for
outstanding contracts or, in the case of new contracts, the value determined as
of the end of the valuation period during which the contract is issued. The Bank
effects redemptions of Fund shares held by VAA upon instructions from Ohio
National Life at net asset value determined as of the end of the valuation
period of VAA during which a redemption request is received or made by Ohio
National Life. In addition, the Bank maintains appropriate records with respect
to all transactions in Fund shares relative to VAA.
The agreement requires the Bank to have at all times an aggregate capital,
surplus and undivided profit of not less than $2 million and prohibits
resignation by the Bank until (a) a successor custodian bank having the
qualifications enumerated above shall have agreed to serve as custodian, or (b)
VAA has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of such liquidation properly
distributed. Subject to these conditions the agreement of custodianship may be
terminated by either party upon sixty days written notice. For its services as
custodian, the Bank will be paid a fee to be agreed upon from time to time by
the Bank and Ohio National Life.
INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The financial statements of VAA as of December 31, 1995 and for the periods
indicated herein and of The Ohio National Life Insurance Company's consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the periods
indicated herein have been included herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants, appearing elsewhere
herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.
UNDERWRITER
The offering of the contracts is continuous. At the date of this Statement of
Additional Information, The O.N. Equity Sales Company ("ONESCO"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ohio National Life, was the principal underwriter of the
contracts. The aggregate amount of underwriting commissions paid to ONESCO with
respect to contracts issued by VAA, and the amounts retained by ONESCO, for each
of the last three years have been:

</TABLE>
Pending receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, Ohio National Equities, Inc.,
a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Ohio National Life, will become the principal
underwriter of the contracts.
CALCULATION OF MONEY MARKET SUBACCOUNT YIELD
The current yield of the Money Market subaccount for the seven days ended on
December 31, 1995, was 4.33%. This was calculated by determining the net change,
exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing
account having a balance of one accumulation unit of the subaccount at the
beginning of the seven-day period, dividing the net change in subaccount value
by the value of the subaccount at the beginning of the base period to obtain the
base period return, and multiplying the difference by 365/7. The resulting
figure is carried to the nearest hundredth of one percent.
TOTAL RETURN
The average annual compounded rate of return for a contract with respect to a
particular subaccount over a given period is found by equating the initial
amount invested to the ending redeemable value using the following formula:
P(1 + T)(n) = ERV
where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,
T = the average annual total return,
n = the number of years, and
ERV = the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical
$1,000 beginning-of-period payment at the end
of the period (or fractional portion thereof).
For this purpose, it should be noted that the current series of contracts were
initially offered September 10, 1984. The data based upon the performance of the
subaccounts prior to that date is presented as if the same charges and
deductions applicable to the current contracts had been in effect from the
inception of each corresponding portfolio of the Fund. Note also that, for
purposes of these calculations, the annual contract administration charge of $30
has been converted to an annualized percentage charge of 0.14%. This is based
upon an average accumulation value of $22,000 for all contracts in this series.
The actual effect that the contract administration charge would have on total
returns would be less than that percentage for contracts having a higher
accumulation value and greater than that percentage for contracts having a lower
accumulation value.

<PAGE> 34
The average annual total returns for current contracts in each of the
subaccounts from the inception of the subaccount and for the one-, five- and
ten-year periods ending on December 31, 1995, and assuming surrender of the
contract on the latter date, are as follows:

</TABLE>
TRANSFER LIMITATIONS
To the extent that transfers, surrenders, partial withdrawals and annuity
payments from a subaccount exceed net purchase payments and transfers into that
subaccount, securities of the corresponding portfolio of the Fund may have to be
sold. Excessive sales of a portfolio's securities on short notice could be
detrimental to that portfolio and to contractowners with values allocated to the
corresponding subaccount. To protect the interests of all contractowners, Ohio
National Life reserves the right to limit the number, frequency, method or
amount of transfers. Transfers from any portfolio of the Fund on any one day may
be limited to 1% of the previous day's total net assets of that portfolio if
Ohio National Life or the Fund, in its or their discretion, believes that the
portfolio might otherwise be damaged.
If and when transfers must be so limited, some transfer requests will not be
made. In determining which requests will be made, scheduled transfers (that is,
those pursuant to a pre-existing dollar cost averaging program) will be made
first, followed by mailed written requests in the order postmarked and, lastly,
telephone and facsimile requests in the order received. Contractowners whose
transfer requests are not made will be so notified. Current SEC rules preclude
Ohio National Life from processing at a later date those requests that were not
made. Accordingly, a new transfer request would have to be submitted in order to
make a transfer that was not made because of these limitations.

schedules of changes in unit values for each of the periods indicated herein.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by examination of the
underlying mutual fund. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Ohio National Variable Account
A at December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations, changes in contract
owners' equity and changes in unit values for each of the periods indicated

OHIO NATIONAL VARIABLE ACCOUNT A
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Ohio National Variable Account A (the Account) is a separate account of The
Ohio National Life Insurance Company (ONLIC) and all obligations arising
under variable annuity contracts are general corporate obligations of ONLIC.
The account has been registered as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
Assets of the Account are invested in shares of Ohio National Fund, Inc.
(the Fund), a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund's
investments are subject to varying degrees of market, interest and financial
risks; the issuers' abilities to meet certain obligations may be affected by
economic developments in their respective industries.
Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable contracts according to
the Progressive Annuity Mortality Table. The assumed interest rate is 3.5
and 4.0 percent depending on the contract selected by the annuitant. Charges
to annuity reserves for adverse mortality and expense risk experience are
reimbursed to the Account by ONLIC.
Investments are valued at the net asset value of fund shares held at
December 31, 1995. Share transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income
and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net
realized capital gain or loss is determined on the basis of average cost.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2) INVESTMENTS
At December 31, 1995 the aggregate cost and number of shares of Ohio
National Fund, Inc. owned by the respective subaccounts were:

(4) RISK AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
A deduction is made at the end of each valuation period, equal to 0.25% on
an annual basis, of the contract value for administrative expenses, based on
premiums established at the time the contracts are issued.
Although variable annuity payments differ according to the investment
performance of the Accounts, they are not affected by mortality or expense
experience because ONLIC assumes the expense risk and the mortality risk
under the contracts. ONLIC charges the Accounts' assets for assuming those
risks, based on the contract value at a rate of 0.25% for mortality risk and
0.4% for expense risk on an annual basis.
The expense risk assumed by ONLIC is the risk that the deductions for sales
and administrative expenses provided for in the variable annuity contract
may prove insufficient to cover the cost of those terms.
The mortality risk results from a provision in the contract in which ONLIC
agrees to make annuity payments regardless of how long a particular
annuitant or other payee lives and how long all annuitants or other payees
as a class live if payment options involving life contingencies are chosen.
Those annuity payments are determined in accordance with annuity purchase
rate provisions established at the time the contracts are issued.
(5) CONTRACT CHARGES
No deduction for a sales charge is made from purchase payments. A contingent
deferred sales charge ranging from 0% to 6% may be assessed by ONLIC when a
contract is surrendered or a partial withdrawal of accumulation value is
made before the annuity payout date.
A transfer fee is charged for each transfer from one subaccount to another.
The fee is charged against the contract owner's equity in the subaccount
from which the transfer is effected.
State premium taxes presently range from 0% to 2 1/2% for these contracts.
In those jurisdictions permitting, such taxes will be deducted when annuity
payments begin. Elsewhere, they will be deducted from purchase payments.

(6) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations of
ONLIC which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue
Code. Taxes are the responsibility of the contract owner upon termination or
withdrawal. No Federal income taxes are payable under present law on
dividend income or capital gains distribution from the Fund shares held in
the Account or on capital gains realized by the Account on redemption of the
Fund shares.
(7) NOTE TO SCHEDULE 1
Schedule 1 presents the components of the change in the unit values, which
are the basis for determining contract owners' equity. This schedule is
presented for each series, as applicable, in the following format:
- Beginning unit value
- Reinvested capital gains and dividends
(This amount reflects the increase in the unit value due to capital
gain and dividend distributions from the underlying mutual fund.)
- Unrealized gain (loss)
(This amount reflects the increase (decrease) in the unit value
resulting from the market appreciation (depreciation) of the fund.)
- Contract charges
(This amount reflects the decrease in the unit value due to Risk and
Administrative Expenses discussed in note 4 to the financial
statements.)
- Ending unit value
- Percentage increase (decrease) in unit value.

APPENDIX
LOANS UNDER TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITIES
Contracts issued as tax-sheltered annuities pursuant to plans qualifying under
Section 403(b) of the Code, and allowing for voluntary contributions only, are
eligible for loans secured by a security interest in the contract. Any such loan
must be for at least $1,000 and may only be made from guaranteed accumulation
values (see Guaranteed Accumulation Account, below). The loan amount is limited
by the maximum loan formula described in the contract.
The annual effective rate of interest charged for loans will not exceed 7%.
Loans must generally be repaid within 5 years (or 20 years if the loan is used
for the purchase of the contract owner's principal residence).
The amount of the death benefit, the amount payable on a full surrender and the
amount that will be applied to provide an annuity on the annuity payout date
will be reduced by the amount of outstanding loan balance, including accrued
interest, as of the date of any such transaction.
GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
The Guaranteed Accumulation Account guarantees a fixed return for a specified
period of time and guarantees the principal against loss. Any portion of a
contract relating to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account is not registered under
the Securities Act of 1933. The Guaranteed Accumulation Account is not
registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account nor any interests in it are subject to the
provisions or restrictions of either such Act, and the disclosures in this
appendix have not been reviewed by the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The Guaranteed Accumulation Account consists of all of Ohio National Life's
general assets other than those allocated to a separate account. Purchase
payments and accumulation values under a contract will be allocated between the
Guaranteed Accumulation Account and VAA. The allocation will be as elected by
the owner at the time of purchase or as subsequently changed.
Ohio National Life will invest its general assets in its discretion as allowed
by applicable state law. Investment income from Ohio National Life's general
assets will be allocated to those contracts having guaranteed accumulation
values in accordance with the terms of such contracts.
The amount of investment income allocated to the contracts will vary from year
to year in Ohio National Life's sole discretion. However, Ohio National Life
guarantees that it will credit interest at a rate of not less than 3.25% per
year, compounded annually, to contract values allocated to the Guaranteed
Accumulation Account. Ohio National Life may credit interest at a rate in excess
of 3.25%, but any such excess interest credit will be in Ohio National Life's
sole discretion.
-14-
<PAGE> 45
Ohio National Life guarantees that the guaranteed accumulation value of a
contract will never be less than (a) the amount of purchase payments allocated
to, and transfers into, the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, plus (b) interest
credited at the rate of 3.25% per year compounded annually, plus (c) any
additional excess interest Ohio National Life may credit to guaranteed
accumulation values, and less (d) any partial withdrawals, loans and transfers
from the guaranteed accumulation values, and less (e) any contingent deferred
sales charges on partial withdrawals, loan interest, state premium taxes,
transfer fees, and the portion of the $30 annual contract administration charge
allocable to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. No deductions are made from
the Guaranteed Accumulation Account for administrative expenses or risk
undertakings. (See "Deductions and Expenses" in the prospectus.)
Not more than 20% of the guaranteed accumulation value of a contract (or $1,000,
if greater), as of the beginning of any contract year, may be transferred to one
or more variable subaccounts during that contract year. As provided by
applicable state law, Ohio National Life reserves the right to defer the payment
of amounts withdrawn from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account for a period not
to exceed six months from the date written request for such withdrawal is
received by Ohio National Life.

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACTOWNERS
As of February 1, 1996, the Registrant's contracts were owned by 15,824 owners.
ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
The sixth article of the Depositor's Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
provides as follows:
Each former, present and future Director, Officer or Employee of the
Corporation (and his heirs, executors or administrators), or any such
person (and his heirs, executors or administrators) who serves at the
Corporation's request as a director, officer, partner, member or employee
of another corporation, partnership or business organization or
association of any type whatsoever shall be indemnified by the Corporation
against reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fine
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense of any contemplated, pending or threatened
action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation,
to which he is or may be made a party by reason of being or having been
such Director, Officer, or Employee of the Corporation or having served at
the Corporation's request as such director, officer, partner, member or
employee of any other business organization or association, or in
connection with any appeal therein, provided a determination is made by
majority vote of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors (a) that
such a person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (b)
that, in any matter the subject of criminal action, suit or proceeding,
such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith in any manner which he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful. Such right of indemnification shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such person may be entitled.
The manner by which the right to indemnification shall be determined in
the absence of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors shall be
set forth in the Code of Regulations or in such other manner as permitted
by law. Each former, present, and future Director, Officer or Employee of
the Corporation (and his heirs, executors or administrators) who serves at
the Corporation's request as a director, officer, partner, member or
employee of another corporation, partnership or business organization or
association of any type whatsoever shall be indemnified by the Corporation
against reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
any contemplated, pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding, by or
in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, to
which he is or may be a party by reason of being or having been such
Director, Officer or Employee of the Corporation or having served at the
Corporation's request as such director, officer, partner, member or
employee of any other business organization or association, or in
connection with any appeal therein, provided a determination is made by
majority vote of a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors (a) that
such person was not, and has not been adjudicated to have been negligent
or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation
or to such other business organization or association, and (b) that such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
-5-
<PAGE> 53
Such right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which such person may be entitled. The manner by which the right
of indemnification shall be determined in the absence of a disinterested
quorum of the Board of Directors shall be as set forth in the Code of
Regulations or in such other manner as permitted by law.
In addition, Article XII of the Depositor's Code of Regulations states as
follows:
If any director, officer or employee of the Corporation may be entitled to
indemnification by reason of Article Sixth of the Amended Articles of
Corporation, indemnification shall be made upon either (a) a determination
in writing of the majority of disinterested directors present, at a
meeting of the Board at which all disinterested directors present
constitute a quorum, that the director, officer or employee in question
was acting in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of this Corporation or of such other
business organization or association in which he served at the
Corporation's request, and that, in any matter which is the subject of a
criminal action, suit or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful and in an action by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor that such person was not
and has not been adjudicated to have been negligent or guilty of
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation or to such
other business organization or association; or (b) if the number of all
disinterested directors would not be sufficient at any time to constitute
a quorum, or if the number of disinterested directors present at two
consecutive meetings of the Board has not been sufficient to constitute a
quorum, a determination to the same effect as set forth in the foregoing
clause (a) shall be made in a written opinion by independent legal counsel
other than an attorney, or a firm having association with it an attorney,
who has been retained by or who has performed services for this
Corporation, or any person to be indemnified within the past five years,
or by the majority vote of the policyholders, or by the Court of Common
Pleas or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought.
Prior to making any such determination, the Board of Directors shall first
have received the written opinion of General Counsel that a number of
directors sufficient to constitute a quorum, as named therein, are
disinterested directors. Any director who is a party to or threatened with
the action, suit or proceeding in question, or any related action, suit or
proceeding, or has had or has an interest therein adverse to that of the
Corporation, or who for any other reason has been or would be affected
thereby, shall not be deemed a disinterested director and shall not be
qualified to vote on the question of indemnification. Anything in this
Article to the contrary notwithstanding, if a judicial or administrative
body determines as part of the settlement of any action, suit or
proceeding that the Corporation should indemnify a director, officer or
employee for the amount of the settlement, the Corporation shall so
indemnify such person in accordance with such determination. Expenses
incurred with respect to any action, suit or proceeding which may qualify
for indemnification may be advanced by the Corporation prior to final
disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director, officer or employee to repay such amount if it is ultimately
determined hereunder that he is not entitled to indemnification or to the
extent that the amount so advanced exceeds the indemnification to which he
is ultimately determined to be entitled.
