SEPARATE ACCOUNT NO. 2
VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Issued By
MUTUAL OF AMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
666 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York 10103
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group variable accumulation annuity contracts ("Contracts") offered by
Mutual of America Life Insurance Company (the "Insurance Company") and
described in this Prospectus are designed to aid employees of states, agencies,
instrumentalities or political subdivisions thereof, in retirement and long-
term financial planning by providing monthly Benefit Payments which begin at a
selected future date under an eligible deferred compensation plan and contract
as provided by Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code").
Participating employees under Contracts are referred to in this Prospectus as
"Participants."
The Contracts permit Deferred Compensation deposits to be made by the
Contractholder, generally, in whatever amounts and at whatever frequency is
desired by a Participant under the Plan, subject to the limitations of Section
457. Deferred Compensation deposits may be accumulated on behalf of a
Participant on a completely variable basis, a completely fixed basis, or a
combination variable and fixed basis. The basic purpose of the variable
accumulation aspect of the Contracts is to provide Participants with an
opportunity to accumulate amounts toward retirement, or for other financial
purposes, that will reflect the investment experience of one or more of the
distinct funds comprising Mutual of America Separate Account No. 2 ("Separate
Account") to which Contributions may be allocated. Deferred Compensation
deposits under the Contracts may be allocated in whole or in part to any of the
Funds of the Separate Account or to the General Account of the Insurance
Company (the "Investment Alternatives").
The assets in each Fund of the Separate Account are invested in shares of:
--one or more of the following eight Funds of Mutual of America Investment
Corporation (the "Investment Company"): Money Market Fund, All America
Fund, Equity Index Fund, Bond Fund, Short-Term Bond Fund, Mid-Term Bond
Fund, Composite Fund and Aggressive Equity Fund;
--one or more of the following three Fidelity Investments (R) portfolios:
Equity-Income Portfolio of the Variable Insurance Products Fund and
Contrafund and Asset Manager Portfolios of the Variable Insurance Products
Fund II (collectively, the "Fidelity Portfolios");
--one or more of the following three portfolios of Scudder Variable Life
Investment Fund: Scudder Capital Growth Portfolio, Scudder Bond Portfolio,
and Scudder International Portfolio (collectively, the "Scudder
Portfolios");
--the TCI Growth Fund of TCI Portfolios, Inc.; and
--the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio of Acacia Capital
Corporation.
The respective Prospectuses for the Investment Company, the Fidelity
Portfolios, the Scudder Portfolios, the TCI Growth Fund and the Calvert
Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio, which are attached to this Prospectus,
describe the investment objectives and policies of each of the variable
accumulation Investment Alternatives, as well as the risks relating to
investments in each such Investment Alternative.
The value of a Participant's interest in the Separate Account will depend
upon the investment performance of the chosen Investment Alternative. THE
INSURANCE COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF ANY FUND OF
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. Accordingly, the Participant bears the entire investment
risk for any amounts allocated to the Separate Account.
Amounts accumulated under the Contracts may be applied to provide monthly
Benefit Payments on a fixed basis commencing at a future date selected by the
Participant.
This Prospectus generally describes only the variable portion of the
Contracts. For a brief summary of the fixed portion, see "The General Account."
This Prospectus sets forth the information that a prospective investor should
know before investing. A Statement of Additional Information about the
Contracts and the Separate Account is available free by writing the Insurance
Company at the address above or by calling (212) 399-1600. The Statement of
Additional Information, which has the same date as the Prospectus, has been
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is incorporated herein by
reference. The table of contents of the Statement of Additional Information is
included at the end of this Prospectus.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO
THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

offered and retain it for future reference. It is not valid unless attached to

(1) A monthly amount of $2.00 (but not to exceed 1/12 of 1% of the Account
Value in any month) is charged with respect to each Participant under a
Contract, regardless of the number of Investment Alternatives in which the
Participant is invested. Such amount is deducted from the net assets, if
any, in one or more of the Participant's Accounts or from such net assets
which have been allocated to one or more Funds of the Separate Account in
the order as described in "Charges--Administrative Charges" herein. The
above table reflects such amount for a full year for each fund or portfolio
as if no other Investment Alternatives were used. If the General Account is
used, the fee is deducted from it and there would be no fee with respect to
amounts allocated to any fund or portfolio. If the General Account is not
used, but more than one fund or portfolio is used, then the second or
additional fund(s) or portfolio(s) would not be charged. The employer may
elect to pay this Additional Amount in which case no amount is deducted from
the Participant's Account. See "Charges--Administrative Charges."
(2) In accordance with a Fund Participation Agreement, TCI reimburses the
Insurance Company at an annual rate of up to .20% for Administrative
Expenses. If the Fund Participation Agreement is terminated for sales of new
Contracts, TCI's reimbursement obligation will terminate, and the
administrative charge to the TCI Growth Fund will be .40% instead of .20%.
The Administrative Charges, Distribution Expense Charge and Mortality and
Expense Risk Fees items are more fully described under "Charges--
Administrative Charges"; "Charges--Distribution Expense Charge"; and
"Charges--Mortality and Expense Risk Charge."
(3) Management Fees are more fully described in "Charges--Portfolio Company
Expenses", and in the Prospectuses of the Investment Company, the Fidelity
Portfolios, the Scudder Portfolios, the TCI Growth Fund and the Calvert
Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio.
(4) See "Charges--Portfolio Company Expenses."
(5) A portion of the brokerage commissions paid by Fidelity VIP Equity-Income
and Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Portfolios were used to reduce expenses.
Without this reduction, total operating expenses for the Portfolios would
have been .60% and .81%, respectively.
(6) Estimated for 1995. Fidelity VIP II Contrafund Portfolio commenced
operations January 3, 1995.

EXAMPLES
The examples below show the expenses that would be borne by a Participant,
assuming a $1,000 investment and a 5% annual rate of return on assets. No
surrender charge is imposed upon the surrender of a contract, and therefore the
expenses would be the same whether or not the contract is surrendered at the
end of the applicable time period.

as the Investment Company Funds, the Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, the
Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Portfolio, the Scudder Portfolios, the TCI Growth
Fund and the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio as they were for
the year ended December 31, 1994 and estimated 1995 expenses for the Fidelity
VIP II Contrafund Portfolio. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE
ON WHICH THE EXAMPLES WERE BASED. The annual rate of return assumed in the
examples is not an estimate or guarantee of future investment performance. Each
example also assumes an annual contract fee of $.40 per $1,000 of value in the
Separate Account. See "Charges--Administrative Charges" for a description of
how such fee would be deducted from the Investment Alternatives.

SUMMARY
The Following Summary of Prospectus Information Should Be Read In Conjunction
With The Detailed Information Appearing Elsewhere In This Prospectus.
CONTRACT OFFERED
The group variable accumulation annuity contract offered by this Prospectus
is issued by the Insurance Company and designed to aid in retirement and long-
term financial planning. The Contract provides for the accumulation of Deferred
Compensation Amounts on a completely variable basis, a completely fixed basis
or a combination variable and fixed basis. Benefit Payments under the Contract
will be made on a fixed basis only. Benefit payments will be made by the
Insurance Company to the Contractholder which shall be responsible for
distributing such payments to Participants. If the Contractholder agrees, the
Insurance Company may make benefit payments directly to Participants for the
Contractholder. The Contract is summarized as a group contract designed for use
in connection with deferred compensation plans adopted pursuant to Section 457
of the Code by certain organizations that qualify to be Contractholders, as
defined above. The Contracts are issued to each Contractholder and are owned by
the Contractholder. Sums accumulated by Participants are regarded as claims of
a general creditor of the Contractholder. Participation in the deferred
compensation plan is entirely voluntary unless the Contractholder elects
otherwise. Participants under Contracts may obtain certain Federal income tax
benefits provided under Section 457 of the Code (see "Federal Tax Matters").
REMITTANCES
In general, under the Plan, compensation may be deferred in whatever amounts
and at whatever frequency is desired by Participants. In certain instances, the
Plan may provide that Plan expenses, such as accounting, legal or consulting
fees, are borne by the Participant. Under the Contract, the Contractholder may
remit Deferred Compensation Amounts from time to time. Under the Plan such
remittance should be made within seven days but no later than one month after
the date on which such Amounts are first available to the Contractholder for
remittance. The minimum deferral that may be remitted to the Insurance Company
under a Contract is $10. The maximum annual deferral is that amount permitted
under the Code (see "The Group Contract--Allocations of Deferred Compensation
Deposits").
Participants under the Contracts may allocate Deferred Compensation Amounts
among the Investment Alternatives provided in the Contract, which include the
General Account and the thirteen distinct Funds of the Separate Account.
This Prospectus is intended as a disclosure document for the variable portion
of the Contracts only. See "The General Account" for a brief summary of the
fixed portion of the Contracts.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Deferred Compensation Amounts remitted pursuant to the Contracts and
allocated on a variable basis become part of the Separate Account. The Separate
Account is divided into sixteen Funds, or sub-accounts, each one of which
corresponds to one of the eight Funds of the Investment Company, or one of the
three Fidelity Portfolios, or one of the three Scudder Portfolios, or the TCI
Growth Fund, or the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio, in which
Separate Account assets are invested. The objective of the variable
accumulation aspect of the Contract is to provide a return on amounts
contributed that will reflect the investment experience of the chosen Funds.
The value of the Deferred Compensation Amounts accumulated for a Participant in
the Separate Account prior to the Annuity Commencement Date will vary with the
investment experience of the chosen Funds.
THE INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES
The Investment Alternatives to which Contributions may be allocated are the
General Account and the sixteen Funds of the Separate Account, which invest in
the eight separate investment funds of Mutual of America Investment
Corporation: the Money Market Fund, which invests in money market instruments
and other short-term debt securities; the All America Fund, which invests
approximately 60% of its assets in publicly traded common stocks in the same
manner as the Equity Index Fund (see below) and approximately 40% of its assets
in other publicly traded common stocks; the Aggressive Equity Fund, which also
invests in publicly traded common stocks; the Bond Fund, which invests in
publicly traded debt securities; the Short-Term Bond Fund which invests in
publicly traded debt securities which will produce a portfolio with an average
maturity of one to three years; the Mid-Term Bond Fund which invests in
publicly
10
<PAGE>
traded debt securities which will produce a portfolio with an average maturity
of three to seven years; the Composite Fund, which invests in all of the above
types of investments; and the Equity Index Fund which invests in publicly
traded common stocks comparable to the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500
Stocks* (the "S&P 500 Index"); the Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, which
invests primarily in income-producing equity securities; the Fidelity VIP II
Contrafund Portfolio, which invests mainly in securities of companies that are
undervalued or out-of-favor; and Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager, which allocates
its assets among domestic and foreign stocks, bonds and short-term fixed-income
instruments; the following three portfolios of Scudder Variable Life Investment
Fund: the Scudder Capital Growth Portfolio, which invests primarily in publicly
traded equity securities; the Scudder Bond Portfolio, which invests primarily
in publicly traded debt securities; and the Scudder International Portfolio,
which invests primarily in marketable foreign equity securities; in the TCI
Growth Fund of TCI Portfolios, Inc., which invests primarily in publicly traded
common stocks; and in the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio of
Acacia Capital Corporation, which invests in stocks, bonds and money market
instruments selected with a concern for the social impact of each investment.
At the date of this Prospectus, investment of Contributions in certain of the
Investment Alternatives (including the Funds corresponding to the Fidelity
Portfolios) may not, because certain pending state insurance department
approvals have not yet been received, be made by certain Participants in
certain states. (See "Investments of the Separate Account.")
REINVESTMENT
Distributions of the Portfolio Companies to the Separate Account are
automatically reinvested in additional Portfolio Company shares at net asset
value.
CHARGES
Certain charges will be deducted in connection with the operation of the
Contracts and the Separate Account.
Administrative Charges. The Insurance Company will make a deduction each
Valuation Day from the net assets of each Fund of the Separate Account for
administrative expenses at an annual rate of .40%, except that in the case of
the Fund of the Separate Account which invests in the TCI Growth Fund, the
annual rate shall be .20% (TCI reimburses the Insurance Company at an
additional annual rate of up to .20% for administrative expenses). An
additional deduction for administrative expenses of $2.00 per month will also
be made with respect to each Participant under a Contract except that such
charge shall not exceed 1/12 of 1% of the Account Value in any month. Such
amount will be deducted from the net assets, if any, in the Participant's
Account which have been allocated to the General Account. If no net assets have
been allocated to such Account, such amount will be deducted from the net
assets which have been allocated to one or more Funds of the Separate Account
in the following order: (a) Investment Company Money Market Fund, (b)
Investment Company Short-Term Bond Fund, (c) Investment Company Mid-Term Bond
Fund, (d) Investment Company Bond Fund, (e) Scudder Bond Fund, (f) Investment
Company Composite Fund, (g) Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Fund, (h) Calvert
Responsibly Invested Balanced Fund, (i) Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Fund, (j)
Investment Company All America Fund, (k) Investment Company Equity Index Fund,
(l) Fidelity VIP II Contrafund Fund, (m) Investment Company Aggressive Equity
Fund, (n) Scudder Capital Growth Fund, (o) Scudder International Fund, and (p)
TCI Growth Fund. These daily and monthly charges may increase or decrease
during the life of the Contract, but may not exceed costs. The employer may
elect to pay this additional deduction in which case no amount is deducted from
the Participant's Account (see "Charges--Administrative Charges").
Distribution Expense Charge. The Insurance Company will make a deduction each
Valuation Day from the net assets of each Fund of the Separate Account for
expenses associated with the distribution of the Contracts at an annual rate of
.35% (see "Charges--Distribution Expense Charge").
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. For assuming certain mortality risks under
the Contracts, the Insurance Company will make a deduction each Valuation Day
at an annual rate of .35% of the net assets of each Fund of the Separate
Account. The Mortality Risk Charge is guaranteed not to increase during the
life of the Contract. For assuming certain expense risks under the Contracts
with respect to expenses it expects to incur over the life of the Contracts,
the Insurance Company will make a deduction each Valuation Day at an annual
rate of .15% of the net assets of each Fund of the Separate Account (see
"Charges--Mortality and Expense Risk Charge").

will reflect the value of the shares of the Portfolio Companies in which such
assets are invested, and therefore the fees and expenses paid by the Investment
Company, Fidelity Portfolios, Scudder Portfolios, TCI Growth Fund, or Calvert
Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio, as the case may be. A complete

Fidelity Portfolios, Scudder Portfolios, TCI Growth Fund and the Calvert

prospectuses attached to this Prospectus.
TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS
A Plan may provide that at any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, a
Participant under a Contract may transfer any or all of the Participant's
Account Balance from the Separate Account to the General Account, or from the
General Account to the Separate Account, or among the Funds of the Separate
Account (see "Transfers Among Investment Alternatives"). In addition, a Plan
may provide that a Participant may withdraw all or a portion of the
Participant's Account Balance in the event of an "Unforeseen Emergency" (see
"Withdrawals").
No charge is currently assessed for transfers or withdrawals made under the
Contracts. The Insurance Company reserves the right, however, to impose a
charge for transfers or withdrawals in the future.

MUTUAL OF AMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
The Insurance Company is a mutual life insurance company organized under the
laws of the State of New York. The Insurance Company is the successor to
National Health & Welfare Retirement Association, Inc., which was incorporated
in 1945 as a nonprofit retirement system pursuant to the then Section 200 of
the New York Insurance Law for the sole purpose of providing retirement and
other benefits for employees of nonprofit organizations in the health and
welfare field. From December 31, 1978 to January 3, 1984, the Insurance Company
was known as National Health & Welfare Mutual Life Insurance Association, Inc.
The Insurance Company currently is authorized to transact business in 50 states
and the District of Columbia. The address of the Insurance Company's home
office is 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10103.
The Insurance Company engages in the sale of pension, retirement and related
benefits on both a group and an individual basis for employees of not-for-
profit, social welfare, charitable, religious, educational and government
organizations. The Insurance Company invests the assets it derives from its
business in the manner permitted under applicable state law. In this
connection, the Insurance Company has had over 25 years of experience in
managing a broad range of investments. As of December 31, 1994, the Insurance
Company on a consolidated basis had total assets of approximately $7.6 billion.
The Insurance Company is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, and also is registered as an investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
The Insurance Company's operations as a life insurance company are reviewed
periodically by various independent rating agencies such as A.M. Best &
Company, Standard and Poor's Insurance Rating Service, Moody's Investor
Services and Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Company. Such agencies publish their
ratings. From time to time the Insurance Company reprints and distributes these
rating reports in whole or in part or summaries of them to be given to the
public. The ratings concern the Insurance Company's operation as a life
insurance company and do not imply any guarantees of performance of the
Separate Account.
12
<PAGE>
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account was established pursuant to a resolution adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Insurance Company on September 22, 1983. The Separate
Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("Commission") as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of
1940 ("1940 Act"). Registration with the Commission does not involve
supervision of management or investment practices or policies of the Separate
Account or the Insurance Company by the Commission.
The Separate Account is divided into sixteen distinct Funds corresponding to
the funds or portfolios of the Portfolio Companies in which the assets in such
Funds are or will be invested. The assets of the Separate Account are the
property of the Insurance Company. The Separate Account assets attributable to
the Contracts and to other annuity contracts funded by the Separate Account are
not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Insurance
Company may conduct. The income, capital gains and capital losses of each Fund
of the Separate Account are credited to or charged against the net assets held
in that Fund, without regard to the income, capital gains and capital losses
arising out of the business conducted by any other Funds of the Separate
Account or out of any other business that the Insurance Company may conduct.
The Insurance Company does not guarantee the investment performance of the
Separate Account as a whole, or any of the Funds. The amount credited to a
Participant in the Separate Account, and thus the amount available to provide
periodic benefits, will depend upon the value of the assets held in the Fund(s)
of the Separate Account selected by the Participant. Accordingly, the
Participant bears the full investment risk for all amounts allocated to the
Separate Account.
The Separate Account and the Insurance Company are subject to supervision and
regulation by the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, and by
the insurance regulatory authorities of each State in which it is licensed to
do business.
INVESTMENTS OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Deferred Compensation Amounts will be allocated among one or more Funds of
the Separate Account for investment at net asset value in shares of the Funds
of the Investment Company, the Fidelity Portfolios, the Scudder Portfolios, the
TCI Growth Fund, or the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio,
selected by the Participant. A summary of investment objectives of the
Portfolio Companies invested in by the Funds of the Separate Account follows.
More detailed information, including risks, charges and expenses, may be found
in the current prospectuses for Mutual of America Investment Corporation, the
Fidelity Portfolios, Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund, TCI Growth Fund and
the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio, which are attached to this
Prospectus. Each applicable prospectus should be read for a complete evaluation
of the Investment Alternatives. Investments in the Money Market Fund and in the
other Portfolio Companies are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
Government.
MONEY MARKET FUND OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY
The investment objective of the Money Market Fund is the realization of high
current income to the extent consistent with the maintenance of liquidity,
investment quality and stability of capital. The Money Market Fund will invest
only in money market instruments and other short-term securities.
ALL AMERICA FUND OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY
The investment objective for approximately 60% of the assets of the All
America Fund (the "Indexed Assets") is to provide investment results that to
the extent practical correspond to the price and yield performance of publicly
traded common stocks in the aggregate, as represented by the S&P 500 Index. The
Indexed Assets will be invested in the same manner as the Equity Index Fund.
The investment objective for the remaining approximately 40% of the assets
(the "Active Assets") is to achieve a high level of total return, through both
appreciation of capital and, to a lesser extent, current income, by means of a
diversified portfolio of securities that may include common stocks, securities
convertible into common stocks, bonds and money market instruments. The Active
Assets are invested by four subadvisers, and Mutual of America Capital
Management Corporation (the "Adviser") allocates the Active Assets to maintain,
to the extent practicable under current market conditions approximately equal
amounts with the subadvisers. See "Charges--Portfolio Company Expenses".
13
<PAGE>
EQUITY INDEX FUND OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY
The investment objective of the Equity Index Fund is to provide investment
results to the extent practical that correspond to the price and yield
performance of publicly traded common stocks in the aggregate, as represented
by the S&P 500 Index.
BOND FUND OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY
The primary investment objective of the Bond Fund is to provide as high a
level of current income over time as is believed to be consistent with prudent
investment risk. A secondary objective is preservation of capital. The assets
of the Bond Fund will consist primarily of publicly-traded debt securities,
such as bonds, notes, debentures and equipment trust certificates. The Bond
Fund generally will invest primarily in securities rated in the four highest
categories by a nationally recognized rating service or in instruments of
comparable quality. The Bond Fund may also invest to a limited extent in lower-
rated or unrated securities, and these may be subject to greater market and
financial risk than higher quality (lower yield) issues.
SHORT-TERM BOND FUND OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY
The primary investment objective of the Short-Term Bond Fund is to provide as
high a level of current income over time as is believed to be consistent with
prudent investment risk. A secondary objective is preservation of capital. The
assets of the Short-Term Bond Fund will consist primarily of publicly-traded
debt securities, such as bonds, notes, debentures and equipment trust
certificates which will produce a portfolio with an average maturity of one to
three years. The Short-Term Bond Fund generally will invest primarily in
securities rated in the four highest categories by a nationally recognized
rating service or in instruments of comparable quality. The Short-Term Bond
Fund may also invest to a limited extent in lower-rated or unrated securities,
and these may be subject to greater market and financial risk than higher
quality (lower yield) issues.
MID-TERM BOND FUND OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY
The primary investment objective of the Mid-Term Bond Fund is to provide as
high a level of current income over time as is believed to be consistent with
prudent investment risk. A secondary objective is preservation of capital. The
assets of the Mid-Term Bond Fund will consist primarily of publicly-traded debt
securities, such as bonds, notes, debentures and equipment trust certificates
which will produce a portfolio with an average maturity of three to seven
years. The Mid-Term Bond Fund generally will invest primarily in securities
rated in the four highest categories by a nationally recognized rating service
or in instruments of comparable quality. The Mid-Term Bond Fund may also invest
to a limited extent in lower-rated or unrated securities, and these may be
subject to greater market and financial risk than higher quality (lower yield)
issues.
COMPOSITE FUND OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY
The investment objective of the Composite Fund is to achieve as high a total
rate of return, through both appreciation of capital and current income, as is
consistent with prudent investment risk by means of a diversified portfolio of
publicly-traded common stocks, publicly-traded debt securities and money market
instruments. The Fund will seek to achieve long-term growth of its capital and
increasing income by investments in common stock and other equity-type
securities, and a high level of current income through investments in publicly-
traded debt securities and money market instruments.
AGGRESSIVE EQUITY FUND OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY
The Aggressive Equity Fund will be divided by the Adviser into two segments
so as to utilize two investment styles.
The investment objective for approximately 50% of the assets of the Fund (the
"Aggressive Growth Portfolio") is to achieve capital appreciation by investing
in companies believed to possess above-average growth potential. Growth can be
in the areas of earnings or gross sales which can be measured in either dollars
or in unit volume. Growth potential is often sought in smaller, less well-known
companies in new and emerging areas of the economy, but may also be found in
large companies in mature or declining industries that have been revitalized
and hold a strong industry or market position. The Aggressive Growth Portfolio
assets are invested by a subadviser. See "Charges--Portfolio Company Expenses".
14
<PAGE>
The investment objective for the other approximately 50% of the assets of the
Fund (the "Aggressive Value Portfolio") is to achieve capital appreciation by
investing in companies believed to possess valuable assets or whose securities
are undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as the company's
assets, earnings, or growth potential.
FIDELITY VIP EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO
Equity-Income Portfolio seeks reasonable income by investing primarily in
income-producing equity securities. In choosing these securities, the Portfolio
will also consider the potential for capital appreciation. The Portfolio's goal
is to achieve a yield which exceeds the composite yield on the securities
comprising the S&P 500 Index.
FIDELITY VIP II CONTRAFUND PORTFOLIO
Contrafund Portfolio is a growth fund. It seeks to increase the value of an
investment in the Portfolio over the long term by investing mainly in
securities of companies that are undervalued or out-of-favor. These securities
may be issued by domestic or foreign companies and many may not be well known.
The Portfolio usually invests primarily in common stock and securities
convertible into common stock, but it has the flexibility to invest in any type
of security that may produce capital appreciation.
FIDELITY VIP II ASSET MANAGER PORTFOLIO
Asset Manager Portfolio seeks high total return with reduced risk over the
long term by allocating its assets among domestic and foreign stocks, bonds and
short-term fixed-income instruments. The Portfolio's adviser will normally
allocate the Portfolio's assets among the three asset classes within the
following investment parameters: 0-70% in short-term instruments; 20-60% in
bonds; and 10-60% in stocks. The expected "neutral mix", which the Portfolio's
adviser would expect over the long term, is 20% in short-term instruments, 40%
in bonds and 40% in stocks.
SCUDDER CAPITAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO
The Scudder Capital Growth Portfolio seeks to maximize long-term capital
growth through a broad and flexible investment program. The Portfolio invests
in marketable securities, principally common stocks and, consistent with its
objective of long-term capital growth, preferred stocks. However, in order to
reduce risk, as market or economic conditions periodically warrant, the
Portfolio may also invest up to 25% of its assets in short-term debt
instruments.
SCUDDER BOND PORTFOLIO
The Scudder Bond Portfolio pursues a policy of investing for a high level of
income consistent with a high quality portfolio of securities. Under normal
circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 65% of its assets in bonds,
including U.S. Government and agency, corporate and other notes and bonds
paying high current income. Not less than 80% of the debt obligations in which
the Portfolio invests will be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three
highest categories by a nationally recognized rating service or in instruments
of comparable quality. The Portfolio may also invest to a limited extent in
lower-rated securities, and these may be subject to greater market and
financial risk than higher quality (lower yield) issues.
SCUDDER INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
The Scudder International Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital
primarily through diversified holdings of marketable foreign equity
investments. The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of
established companies which do business primarily outside the United States and
which are listed on foreign exchanges. Investing in foreign securities may
involve a greater degree of risk than investing in domestic securities.
TCI GROWTH FUND
The TCI Growth Fund seeks capital growth by investing primarily in common
stocks (including securities convertible into common stock). It may purchase
securities only of companies that have a record of at least three years'
continuous operation and such securities must enjoy a fair degree of
marketability. All securities must be listed on major stock exchanges or traded
over-the-counter.
15
<PAGE>
CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED BALANCED PORTFOLIO
Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio seeks to achieve a total
return above the rate of inflation through an actively managed diversified
portfolio of common and preferred stocks, bonds and money market instruments
selected with a concern for the social impact of each investment.
SHARED FUND ARRANGEMENTS
Shares of the Fidelity Portfolios, the Scudder Portfolios, the TCI Growth
Fund and the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio (together, the
"Shared Funds") currently are available to the separate accounts of a number of
insurance companies. The Board of Directors of each Shared Fund is responsible
for monitoring that Fund for the existence of any material irreconcilable
conflict between the interests of the policyowners of all separate accounts
investing in the Fund and determining what action, if any, should be taken in
response. If the Insurance Company believes that a Shared Fund's response to
any of those events insufficiently protects Contractholders, it will take
appropriate action. If any material irreconcilable conflict arises, the
Investment Alternatives may be modified or reduced. See "Charter--FMR and its
Affiliates" in the Fidelity Portfolios prospectus, "Investment Concept of the
Fund" in the Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund prospectus, "Shareholders of
TCI Portfolios" in the TCI Growth Fund prospectus and "Purchase and Redemption
of Shares" in the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio prospectus
for a further discussion of the risks associated with the offering of Shared
Fund shares to the Separate Account and the separate accounts of other
insurance companies.
CHARGES
The values of Accumulation Units reflect a deduction on each Valuation Day
for administrative and distribution expenses, and the mortality and expense
risk assumed by the Insurance Company. The following charges will be deducted
on a daily basis (based on annual rates) in determining the Accumulation Unit
value for each of the Funds of the Separate Account.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES
The Insurance Company performs all administrative functions in connection
with the Contracts, including receiving and allocating Deferred Compensation
Amounts remitted in accordance with the Contracts, making Benefit Payments as
they become due, and preparing and filing all reports required to be filed by
the Separate Account. Expenses incurred by the Insurance Company in connection
with its administrative functions include, but are not limited to, items such
as state or other taxes, salaries, rent, postage, telephone, travel, office
equipment, costs of outside legal, actuarial, accounting and other outside
professional services, and costs associated with determining the net asset
value of the Separate Account.
The Insurance Company will make a deduction each Valuation Day from the value
of the net assets in each Fund of the Separate Account for administrative
expenses (the provisions of the Contracts include the amount of this charge
with the Distribution Expense Charge, described below) at an annual rate of
.40%, except that in the case of the Fund of the Separate Account which invests
in the TCI Growth Portfolio, the annual rate shall be .20% (TCI reimburses the
Insurance Company at an additional annual rate of up to .20% for administrative
expenses). An additional deduction for administrative expenses of $2.00 will be
made on the next to last Valuation Day of the month or on another Valuation Day
on or about that time that is administratively convenient from each
Participant's Account except that such charge shall not exceed 1/12 of 1% of
the Account Value in any month. Such amount will be deducted from the net
assets, if any, in the Participant's Account which have been allocated to the
General Account. If no net assets have been allocated to such Account, such
amount will be deducted from the net assets which have been allocated to one or
more Funds of the Separate Account in the following order: (a) Investment
Company Money Market Fund, (b) Investment Company Short-Term Bond Fund, (c)
Investment Company Mid-Term Bond Fund, (d) Investment Company Bond Fund, (e)
Scudder Bond Fund, (f) Investment Company Composite Fund, (g) Fidelity VIP II
Asset Manager Fund, (h) Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Fund, (i)
Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Fund, (j) Investment Company Fund All America Fund,
(k) Investment Company Equity Index Fund, (l) Fidelity VIP II Contrafund Fund,
(m) Investment Company Aggressive Equity Fund, (n) Scudder Capital Growth Fund,
(o) Scudder International Fund, and (p) TCI Growth Fund. The employer may elect
to pay this additional deduction in which case no amount is deducted from the
Participant's Account. THE INSURANCE COMPANY MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE THESE
DAILY AND MONTHLY CHARGES DURING THE LIFE OF THE CONTRACT, BUT THESE CHARGES
MAY NOT EXCEED COSTS.

<PAGE>
DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE CHARGE
As principal underwriter, the Insurance Company performs all distribution and
sales functions and bears all distribution and sales expenses relative to the
Contracts. These expenses include the payment of that portion of the salaries
of registered representatives of the Insurance Company attributable to the sale
and distribution of Contracts, as well as expenses for preparation of sales
literature and other promotional activities.
The Insurance Company will make a deduction each Valuation Day from the value
of the net assets in each Fund of the Separate Account, at an annual rate of
.35% to cover anticipated distribution expenses, not to exceed, with respect to
any Participant, 9% of the total Deferred Compensation Amounts.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
The Insurance Company assumes certain mortality and expense risks under the
Contracts. The mortality risks arise from the Insurance Company's guarantees in
the Contracts to make Benefit Payments in certain instances in accordance with
benefit tables provided in the Contracts, regardless of how long a Participant
lives and regardless of any improvement in life expectancy generally. Thus, the
Insurance Company assumes the risk that Participants, as a class, may live
longer than has been actuarially estimated, so that payments will continue for
longer than had been anticipated. This assumption of risk by the Insurance
Company relieves Participants of the risk that they will outlive the funds that
have been accumulated for their retirement.
For assuming the mortality risks associated with the Contracts, the Insurance
Company will, each Valuation Day, make a deduction at an annual rate of .35% of
the value of the net assets in each Fund. This charge will apply with respect
to a Participant during the Accumulation Period. The Insurance Company
guarantees that the mortality risk charge will not increase during the life of
a Contract.
The Insurance Company assumes certain expense risks under the Contracts. The
expense risks arise from the Insurance Company's guarantees in the Contracts to
make Annuity Payments in certain instances in accordance with annuity tables
provided in the Contracts, regardless of whether its estimates of expenses it
expects to incur, over the lengthy period that Annuity payments may be made
will turn out to be correct. Thus, the Insurance Company assumes the risk that
expenses will be higher than estimated.
For assuming the expense risks associated with the Contracts, the Insurance
Company will, each Valuation Day, make a deduction at an annual rate of .15% of
the value of the net assets in each Fund. This charge will apply with respect
to a Participant during the Accumulation Period.
If revenues derived from the Distribution Expense Charge do not cover all
true distribution expenses, any shortfall will be paid out of the general
assets of the Insurance Company and, if revenues from the Mortality and Expense
Risk Charge exceed the actual cost of the Insurance Company's risk undertaking,
the excess will be retained by the Insurance Company and may help cover any
such shortfall.
PORTFOLIO COMPANY EXPENSES
The value of the assets in the Separate Account will reflect the value of the
shares of the Portfolio Companies in which such assets are invested, and
therefore will take into account the fees and expenses paid by the Investment
Company, Fidelity Portfolios, Scudder Portfolios, TCI Growth Fund or Calvert
Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio, as the case may be.
Each Fund of the Investment Company receives investment advice from Mutual of
America Capital Management Corporation (the "Adviser"), an indirect wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Insurance Company. The Adviser receives from each such
Fund a fee calculated as a daily charge at the annual rate of .25% of the value
of the net assets in the Money Market Fund; .125% of the value of the net
assets in the Equity Index Fund; .50% of the value of the net assets in the All
America, Bond, Short-Term Bond, Mid-Term Bond and Composite Funds; and .85% of
the value of the net assets in the Aggressive Equity Fund of the Investment
Company. For 1994, the Adviser paid all of the expenses of the Investment
Company Funds other than advisory fees, brokers' commissions, transfer taxes
and other fees relating to portfolio transactions. The Adviser voluntarily
limits the Investment Company Funds' expenses in this manner. See "The Funds'
Expenses" in the Investment Company prospectus.
17
<PAGE>
The Adviser, with respect to the Active Assets of the All America Fund, has
entered into a subadvisory agreement (a "Subadvisory Agreement") with four
professional advisers. The Active Assets are invested by Palley-Needelman Asset
Management, Inc. ("Palley-Needelman"); James Dravo Oelschlager, doing business
as Oak Associates ("Oak Associates"), Fred Alger Management, Inc. ("Alger
Management"); and Mitchell Hutchins Institutional Investors Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins"), each as Subadviser under the Subadvisory Agreements. The Adviser
has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with C.J. Lawrence/Deutsche Bank
Securities Corporation ("C.J. Lawrence") for the Aggressive Growth Portfolio of
the Aggressive Equity Fund. The Adviser at its own expense will pay to the
Subadvisers an amount calculated as a daily charge at the following annual
rates: Palley-Needelman, .30%; Oak Associates, .30%; Alger Management, .45%;
Mitchell Hutchins, .50%; and C.J. Lawrence, .50% on the first $15 million and
.30% thereafter; of the value of the net assets for which each Subadviser is
providing investment advisory services.
Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, Fidelity VIP II Contrafund Portfolio
and Fidelity VIP II Asset Manager Portfolio receive investment advice from
Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR"). FMR receives from each
Portfolio a fee, calculated as a daily charge and payable monthly, that is a
sum of two components multiplied by average net assets. The components are a
group fee rate based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds
advised by FMR, which cannot exceed .52% and declines as assets rise, and an
individual fund fee rate. The effective group fee rate for December 1994 was
.3193%, and the individual fund fee rates for the Equity-Income, Contrafund and
Asset Manager Portfolios are .20%, .30% and .40%, respectively.
Each Scudder Portfolio receives investment advice from Scudder, Stevens &
Clark, Inc., and Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. receives from each such Scudder
Portfolio a fee calculated as a daily charge at the annual rate of .475% of the
value of the assets in the Scudder Capital Growth Portfolio and the Scudder
Bond Portfolio and .875% of the value of the assets in the Scudder
International Portfolio. Also, there may be deducted from each Scudder
Portfolio up to an additional .275% of the value of the assets in the Scudder
Capital Growth Portfolio and the Scudder Bond Portfolio, and up to .625% of the
value of the assets in the Scudder International Portfolio, for expenses
incurred by such Portfolio. Pursuant to a Participation Agreement between
Scudder and the Insurance Company, the Insurance Company will make a capital
contribution to the Scudder Portfolios in the amount of its pro rata portion,
allocated among insurance companies that purchase shares of the portfolios, of
the expenses of the Capital Growth and Bond Portfolios which exceed .75% of
their average net assets, and, for the International Portfolio, which exceed
1.5% of its average net assets.
The TCI Growth Fund receives investment advice from Investors Research
Corporation, and Investors Research Corporation receives from the TCI Growth
Fund a fee calculated as a daily charge at the annual rate of 1.00% of the
assets of the TCI Growth Fund. Many investment companies pay smaller management
fees than the aforesaid fee paid by the TCI Growth Fund to Investors Research
Corporation. However, TCI has stated in the prospectus for the TCI Growth Fund
which is attached to this Prospectus, that most, if not all, of such companies
also pay, in addition, certain of their own expenses, while all TCI Growth
Fund's expenses except brokerage, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of non-
interested directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses are
paid by Investors Research Corporation.
Pursuant to the Fund Participation Agreement among the Insurance Company, TCI
and Investors Research Corporation, Investors Research Corporation pays the
Insurance Company for certain administrative savings resulting from that
agreement. Currently, that payment is an amount equal to .20% per annum of the
average amount of the Separate Account's investment in TCI, provided the
aggregate amount of the Separate Account's investment and the investments of
other separate accounts of the Insurance Company in the TCI Growth Fund for
that month exceeds $10 million. The administrative fees assessed against the
Separate Account Fund holding shares of TCI Growth Fund are reduced by the full
amount of such payments to the Insurance Company.
Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio receives investment advice
from Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., and NCM Capital Management Group,
Inc. is the Sub-Adviser for the equity portion of the Portfolio. Calvert Asset
Management Company, Inc. receives from Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced
Portfolio a monthly base fee, computed on a daily basis at an annual rate of
0.70% of average net assets of the Portfolio. Calvert Asset Management Company,
Inc. pays, at its own expense, the fee of the Sub-Adviser. Calvert Asset
Management Company, Inc. and the Sub-Adviser may earn (or have their fees
reduced by) performance fee adjustments based on the extent to which the
Portfolio exceeds or trails the Lipper Balanced Funds Index. Pursuant to an
agreement between the Insurance Company and Calvert Securities Corporation,
Calvert Securities Corporation has agreed that it shall cause the annual
operating expenses (including the investment advisory fee but excluding
brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) of the
Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio to not exceed 0.85% of such
Portfolio's average daily net assets until further notice to the Insurance
Company.

A complete description of the fees and expenses paid by the Investment
Company Funds, the Fidelity Portfolios, the Scudder Portfolios, the TCI Growth
Fund and Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio is found in their
respective prospectuses attached to this Prospectus.
THE GROUP CONTRACT
GENERAL
The Contracts are issued by the Insurance Company to Contractholders as a
funding vehicle for benefits under a Plan. The Contractholder is at all times
the owner of the Contract. Eligibility for participation by any employee of an
employer shall be determined in accordance with the terms of a Plan. The Plan
or the Insurance Company may require Participants to execute agreements and
applications on their prescribed forms.
DEPOSITS OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Deferred Compensation Amounts are remitted to the Insurance Company.
Participants, pursuant to Salary Reduction Agreements with Contractholders,
elect the Deferred Compensation Amount to be remitted on their behalf by the
Contractholder. Employers may also remit amounts on behalf of Participants as
matching or non-matching Contributions. The Participant's Account Balance is
regarded as an asset of the Contractholder and the Participant as a general
creditor of the Contractholder. However, a Contractholder may also remit to the
Insurance Company on behalf of a Participant in a single sum, an amount that
arises from a transfer from any other eligible state deferred compensation plan
of the same state.
The Deferred Compensation Amount remitted with respect to a Participant under
the contract may not be less than $10 nor greater than any amount permitted
under applicable law.
Acceptance of Initial Deferred Compensation Amounts. If an initial remittance
of Deferred Compensation Amounts is received together with necessary
information, it will be accepted within two business days of receipt. If any
necessary information is not submitted, the Insurance Company will retain the
Deferred Compensation Amounts for up to five business days while attempting to
obtain the information necessary; the Deferred Compensation Amounts will be
accepted within two business days of receipt of the information. If such
necessary information is not received within five business days, however, the
Insurance Company will return the Deferred Compensation Amount at the end of
that period, unless the Contractholder consents to the Insurance Company's
holding the Deferred Compensation Amount until additional information is
provided.
Limitation on Deferrals. The amount that may be deferred by a Participant
under the Plan for the Participant's taxable year (in general, the calendar
year) may not exceed (A) the lesser of (i) $7,500 or (ii) 33 1/3 percent of the
Participant's includible compensation (taxable earnings) for the year; a Plan
may provide, however, that (B) during one or more of the last three years prior
to the year in which a Participant attains normal retirement age he may defer
an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $15,000 or (ii) the sum of the applicable
limitation provided in (A) above for the current taxable year and the excess of
the applicable limitation for each taxable year in which the Participant was
eligible to participate in an eligible deferred compensation plan over the
amounts previously deferred for such years.
The limitation set forth in (B) may be exercised only once. With respect to
government plans, the years referred to in (B)(ii) are only those years
beginning after December 31, 1978 during which the Participant was employed by
a public employer in the same state which sponsored a plan under Section 457 of
the Code in which the Participant was eligible to participate and under which
amounts deferred were subject to the limits described in (A) above. With
respect to eligible non-governmental employers, the years referred to in
(B)(ii) above are only those years beginning on and after January 1, 1987
during which an eligible Participant was employed by the employer sponsoring
the Plan.
The limitations set forth above shall be reduced by any amount excluded from
the Participant's gross income for the applicable taxable year under Sections
403(b), 401(k) or 402(a)(8) of the Code, and shall be further reduced to the
extent required by Section 457 of the Code, and the regulations thereunder,
taking into account deferrals under this and any other eligible deferred
compensation plan of the employer or any other eligible employer.
19
<PAGE>
ALLOCATIONS OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION DEPOSITS
Deferred Compensation Amounts remitted under the Contracts are allocated
among the General Account and the sixteen Funds of the Separate Account.
Deferred Compensation Amounts will be allocated on the basis of a request made
to the Insurance Company and currently on file at its home office (see "General
Matters--Contacting the Insurance Company"). If no request is on file, Deferred
Compensation Amounts will be allocated to the General Account pending receipt
of a proper request. A Participant's request for allocation will specify the
percentage, in any whole percentage from 0% to 100%, of each remittance of
Deferred Compensation Amounts to be allocated to each of the Investment
Alternatives. The request for allocation of Deferred Compensation Amounts among
the Investment Alternatives may be changed from time to time, and amounts may
be transferred among those alternatives (see "Transfers Among Investment
Alternatives"). A Contractholder may provide that Contributions not made
through salary reduction may in whole or in part be restricted to the General
Account. A Participant should make periodic reviews of all allocations in light
of market conditions, the Participant's retirement plans, and overall financial
planning requirements.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
Remittances of Deferred Compensation Amounts under the Contracts which are
allocated to the Separate Account on behalf of a Participant will be credited
to an individual accumulation account maintained for such Participant with
respect to each of the chosen Funds of the Separate Account in the form of
Accumulation Units as of the Valuation Period during which the Deferred
Compensation Amount is received by the Insurance Company. The number of
Accumulation Units in a Fund of the Separate Account credited to the account of
a Participant is determined by dividing the amount allocated to that Fund of
the Separate Account on behalf of such Participant by the Accumulation Unit
value for that Fund of the Separate Account for the Valuation Period during
which the remittance of Deferred Compensation Amounts is received. The value of
the Accumulation Units of each Fund of the Separate Account will vary with the
investment experience of that Fund.
The number of Accumulation Units in a Participant's individual account will
fluctuate in accordance with amounts allocated to or withdrawn from the Funds
of the Separate Account. The net change in Accumulation Units is determined by
adjusting the number of Accumulation Units in the Funds of the Separate Account
as of the end of the previous Valuation Period by adding or deducting
Accumulation Units with respect to Deferred Compensation Amounts remitted to,
or amounts withdrawn from, the respective Funds of the Separate Account during
that Valuation Period. The number of Accumulation Units to be so added or
deducted is the number obtained by dividing the amounts so allocated, or
withdrawn, by the Accumulation Unit value for that Valuation Period.
The Accumulation Units in each Fund of the Separate Account are valued
separately. The value of an Accumulation Unit in each Fund of the Separate
Account corresponding to a Fund of the Investment Company originally was set
arbitrarily at one dollar. The value of an Accumulation Unit in the Fund of the
Separate Account corresponding to one of the Fidelity Portfolios, Scudder
Portfolios, TCI Growth Fund or Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio
originally was established by deducting expenses of the Separate Account
applicable to that portfolio or fund from the applicable unit value established
by the respective Portfolio Company portfolio or fund as of the end of the last
Valuation Day immediately preceding the day when the first investment was made
by the Separate Account in the Portfolio Company portfolio or fund. For any
Valuation Period, the value of an Accumulation Unit in a Fund of the Separate
Account is the amount obtained by multiplying the value of an Accumulation Unit
in that Fund as of the preceding Valuation Period, by the Fund's Accumulation
Unit Change Factor (described below) for that Valuation Period. The dollar
value of an Accumulation Unit in each Fund of the Separate Account, therefore,
will vary from Valuation Period to Valuation Period, depending on the
investment experience of the Fund.
The Accumulation Unit Change Factor for each Fund of the Separate Account for
any Valuation Period is determined as:
(a) the ratio of (i) the asset value of that Fund at the end of the
current Valuation Period, before any amounts are allocated to, or
withdrawn from, the Fund with respect to that Valuation Period, to (ii)
the asset value of the Fund at the end of the preceding Valuation Period,
after all allocations and withdrawals were made for that period, divided
by
(b) 1.000000 plus the component of the annual rate of mortality and
expense risk, distribution expense and administrative charges (which does
not include the monthly administrative charge per Participant which is
$2.00 but in no event to exceed 1/12 of 1% of the Account Value in any
month) against a Fund's assets for the number of days from the end of the
preceding Valuation Period to the end of the current Valuation Period
(see "Charges").
20
<PAGE>
The value of the Accumulation Units credited to the account of a Participant
in the Separate Account for any Valuation Period prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date is determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units
credited to such Participant in each chosen Fund of the Separate Account by the
Accumulation Unit value for each chosen Fund at the end of the Valuation
Period.
TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES
Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, Participants may elect, subject to
the conditions imposed by the Plan or those described below, to transfer
amounts among Investment Alternatives. Thus, amounts may be transferred among
Funds of the Separate Account, and between the Separate Account and the General
Account (see "General Matters--Contacting the Insurance Company"). A
Participant may express the amount sought to be transferred as a dollar amount,
or as a number of Accumulation Units, or as a percentage of the value of the
Participant's investment in the selected Investment Alternative. Transfers may
not be made after the Annuity Commencement Date. No charges are currently
imposed for transfers, but the Insurance Company reserves the right to impose
such charges in the future.
Any transfers from a Fund of the Separate Account will result in the
cancellation of Accumulation Units in that Fund on the basis of the current
Accumulation Unit value for the Valuation Period during which the request is
received. Transfers to a Fund of the Separate Account from either the General
Account or another Fund of the Separate Account will be credited to that Fund
based on the current Accumulation Unit value for the Valuation Period during
which the transferred amount is received (see "Postponement of Payments").
No request for a transfer will be binding on the Insurance Company until it
receives all information necessary to process the request.
WITHDRAWALS
Pursuant to a Plan, a Participant may withdraw his account balance in the
event of an unforeseen emergency. Otherwise, distributions from the Plan will
be subject to the restrictions discussed in "Benefit Payments." In the event of
an unforeseen emergency, a withdrawal may be made by the Participant in an
amount which does not exceed the lesser of (1) the amount generally needed to
meet the unforeseeable emergency and (2) the Participant's Account Balance.
Unless the Participant makes a specific determination, the amount of the
withdrawal will be made pro rata from the Funds in which the Participant has
Accumulation Units.
Income tax regulations issued before 1989 define "unforeseeable emergency" as
a severe financial hardship arising from a sudden and unexpected illness or an
accident to the Participant or to a dependent, or the loss of the Participant's
property due to casualty or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable
circumstances arising from the events beyond his control. A severe financial
hardship will not exist if it can be relieved through reimbursement by
insurance, liquidation of other assets of the Participant which does not cause
severe financial hardship or cessation of Deferred Compensation Amounts under
the Plan. The employer shall determine whether a Participant faces an
unforeseeable emergency as defined in the Plan.
DEATH BENEFITS
A Plan may provide that a death benefit shall be payable to the Participant's
beneficiary(s). In the case of death prior to the Participant's Annuity
Commencement Date, such death benefit may be payable in a single sum or as an
annuity. Benefit Payments made in the form of an annuity, must be: (i) payable
over a period not to exceed the beneficiary's life expectancy if the
beneficiary is the Eligible Spouse of the Participant; or (ii) payable over a
period not to exceed 15 years if the beneficiary is other than the Eligible
Spouse of the Participant. Otherwise, the Participant's entire interest in the
Plan must be distributed within five years of the date of death. In the case of
death after a Participant's Annuity Commencement Date, the Participant's
beneficiary will be entitled to receive the death benefit (if any) provided by
the form of annuity in effect on the date of the Participant's death.
BENEFIT PAYMENTS
Amounts payable under a Plan generally may not be paid or made available to a
Participant, except as discussed above under "Withdrawals," earlier than the
calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2 or terminates
employment. In addition, a Plan must provide that a Participant's entire
interest must begin to be distributed not later than April 1 of the calendar
year following the year the Participant attains age 70 1/2 (or, in the case of
certain
21
<PAGE>
governmental plans, the year the Participant retires) over the life of a
Participant, the joint lives of a Participant and a designated beneficiary or a
period certain, not longer than the life expectancy of the Participant or joint
life expectancies of the Participant and a beneficiary. Benefit Payments before
a Participant's death must be made at such time and in such amounts as the
Income Tax Regulations shall specify (see also "Annuity Commencement Date" and
"Available Forms of Periodic Benefits"). Before 1989, amounts payable under a
Plan could not be paid or made available earlier than termination of
employment, except in the case of an unforeseen emergency.
Generally, a Plan may provide for payment to be made in the form of a single
sum or annuity, as elected by a Participant. A Plan may also provide that a
Participant may elect to defer to a future date payment of benefits, subject to
the requirements discussed in "Benefit Payments" above. An election as to the
form of payment must be made at such time and in such manner as the Plan shall
provide and, any election which defers payment of benefits to a future date,
shall be made before such benefits are otherwise payable and shall be
irrevocable.
DISCONTINUANCE
The Contracts provide that a Contractholder may discontinue a Contract, at
its discretion, as of the first day of a calendar month that is at least 31
days after notice of such intention to discontinue is received by the Insurance
Company. The Insurance Company may discontinue a Contract, in whole or in part,
if (1) the Contractholder fails to abide by the terms or requirements of the
Contract, or (2) the Insurance Company determines that a modification of the
Contracts is necessary to comply with Federal or state requirements, and the
Contractholder refuses to accept a substantially similar Contract offered by
the Insurance Company that incorporates that modification. Discontinuance of a
Contract by the Insurance Company will be effective as of a date specified by
the Insurance Company, provided that the Insurance Company must give a
Contractholder at least 31 days' advance written notice in which to cure any
remediable defaults.
In addition, the Insurance Company has the right to discontinue a Contract
if, during any Plan Year, no Deferred Compensation Amounts are remitted on
behalf of any of the Participants.
Discontinuance of a Contract will not relieve the Contractholder of its
obligations under the Contract, and all provisions of the Contract will
continue to apply, except that (1) no further Deferred Compensation Amounts
will be made by the Contractholder, and (2) the Contractholder may transfer to
another insurance company or other financial institution all amounts
accumulated under the Contracts and allocated to Participants, former
Participants, and beneficiaries. Such transfer may be made in any manner to
which the Contractholder and the Insurance Company agree in writing. In the
event of a transfer described in clause (2) above, amounts accumulated for the
benefit of a current or former Participant, or beneficiary, who does not
consent to the transfer may, as elected by that person, be left on deposit with
the Insurance Company, or withdrawn in whole or in part (see "Withdrawals").
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
Payment of any amounts due from the Separate Account in connection with a
withdrawal, death benefit, termination, or transfer of any amount from the
Separate Account to the General Account will occur within seven days, unless:
1. The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or
holidays, or trading on that Exchange is restricted as determined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"); or
2. The Commission by order permits postponement for the protection of
Participants; or
3. An emergency exists, as determined by the Commission, as a result of
which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not
reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Separate Account's net
assets.
PERIOD AFTER ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
GENERAL
At the Annuity Commencement Date, the amount credited to a Participant in the
Separate Account will be transferred to the General Account and, together with
any amount previously credited to the Participant in the General Account, will
be applied to provide a monthly benefit. The amount of each Benefit Payment
will be fixed and guaranteed
22
<PAGE>
by the Insurance Company to the Contractholder in accordance with the table of
annuity purchase rates contained in the Contract. Until paid or otherwise made
available to a Participant, Benefit Payments are subject to the claims of the
Contractholders' general creditors.
The level of periodic Benefit Payments made to Contractholders under the
Contract will not be affected by the mortality experience (death rate) of
persons receiving such payments, or of the general population. The Insurance
Company assumes the "mortality risk" by virtue of the annuity purchase rates
incorporated in the Contract. In addition, the Insurance Company guarantees
that it will not increase charges under the Contracts with respect to periodic
Benefit Payments regardless of its actual expenses.
Accordingly, periodic Benefit Payments will be made in a fixed and guaranteed
amount that is in no way dependent upon the investment experience of the
Separate Account. The amount of monthly payments depends only on the form of
benefit chosen, the applicable benefit purchase rates contained in the Contract
and the total amount applied to purchase the benefit.
Once periodic Benefit Payments have commenced with respect to a Participant,
no further Deferred Compensation Amounts may be remitted on behalf of that
Participant. In addition, neither transfers to the Separate Account, nor
withdrawals of any kind, are permitted on behalf of a Participant receiving
periodic Benefit Payments.
A Plan may provide that a Participant may elect to receive the Participant's
Account Balance as of the Annuity Commencement Date in a lump sum in lieu of
receiving periodic Benefit Payments.
The Insurance Company will issue to Contractholders for delivery to each
Participant thereunder an individual certificate setting forth the amount and
terms of payment of the periodic Benefit Payments.
Payment of benefits under the Contracts will be made by the Insurance Company
directly to the Contractholder or, if the Insurance Company agrees, to
Participants.
ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
The periodic Benefit Payments with respect to a Participant begin on the
Annuity Commencement Date. Participants may elect an Annuity Commencement Date
that is the Participant's normal retirement date (as provided for in his
employer's pension plan if he is covered by such plan, or if he is not covered
by such a plan, age 65); early retirement date (the first day of any calendar
month following an early retirement age, if any, as specified in a Plan), or
later retirement date (the first day of a calendar month following the
Participant's normal retirement date provided the Plan permits a Participant to
elect a later retirement date and such election is made before amounts become
payable, but no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year the
Participant attains age 70 1/2). For governmental plans, the Annuity
Commencement Date may be delayed up to April 1 of the calendar year following
the year the Participant separates from service, if later.
Annuity Commencement Date elections must be made in advance, in writing as
described under "General Matters--Contacting the Insurance Company."
AVAILABLE FORMS OF PERIODIC BENEFITS
(1) A Participant who has an Eligible Spouse on his Annuity Commencement Date
shall have his benefit paid on the Joint and Survivor Annuity form described in
Paragraph (4)(a) below. However, the Participant may, before such Annuity
Commencement Date, elect in writing (with the right to revoke such election at
any time before his Annuity Commencement Date) to have his benefit paid in one
of the following forms of payment, subject in the case of the forms of payment.
(a) the Life Annuity form described in Paragraph (4)(b) below,
(b) the 10 Years Certain and Continuous Annuity form described in
Paragraph (4)(d) below,
(c) the 15 Years Certain and Continuous Annuity form described in
Paragraph (4)(d) below, or
(d) the Full Cash Refund Annuity form described in Paragraph (4)(e)
below.
(2) A Participant who does not have an Eligible Spouse on his Annuity
Commencement Date shall have his benefit paid on the 10 Years Certain and
Continuous Annuity form described in Paragraph (4)(c) below. However, the
23
<PAGE>
Participant may, before such Annuity Commencement Date, elect in writing (with
the right to revoke such election at any time before such Annuity Commencement
Date) to have his benefit paid on one of the following alternative forms of
payment:
(a) the Life Annuity form described in Paragraph (4)(b) below,
(b) the 15 Years Certain and Continuous Annuity form described in
Paragraph (4)(d) below, or
(c) the Full Cash Refund Annuity form described in Paragraph (4)(e)
below.
(3) Limits on Payment
The forms available under the Contract are those described in Paragraph (4)
below. Beginning in 1989, if the value of the Participant's benefit would be
less than 66 2/3% of the value of the benefit that would be payable on the Life
Annuity Form, such benefit shall be adjusted so that it shall be equal to 66
2/3% of the value of the Participant's benefit on the Life Annuity Form. This
may impose, in certain instances, substantial limitations on the forms of
benefit payable.
(4) Forms Described
(a) 66 2/3% Joint and Survivor Life Annuity
66 2/3% Joint and Survivor Life Annuity provides an adjusted monthly
benefit payable during the lifetime of the retired Participant and 66
2/3% of such adjusted monthly benefit payable after his death to his
joint annuitant if such joint annuitant survives him, to continue until
the death of the joint annuitant. If the joint annuitant should die prior
to the Annuity Commencement Date of the Participant, the election of this
Option is automatically cancelled, and the Participant shall
automatically have his benefit paid on the 10 Years Certain and
Continuous Annuity form described in Paragraph 4(c) below unless, prior
to the Annuity Commencement Date, he elects in writing (with the right to
revoke such election at any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date)
to have his benefit paid on one of the alternative forms of payment.
(b) Life Annuity
The Life Annuity form provides for monthly payments continuing to the
first day of the month in which the Participant's death occurs.
(c) 10 Years Certain and Continuous Annuity
The 10 Years Certain and Continuous Annuity form provides for monthly
payments continuing to the first day of the month in which the
Participant's death occurs or at the end of the certain period of 120
months, whichever is later. If the Participant dies before the end of the
certain period, payments in the same amount shall be continued to the end
of such period to the beneficiary. If the beneficiary dies before the end
of the certain period, the commuted value of payments not yet made shall
be made to the payee named by the Participant.
(d) 15 Years Certain and Continuous Annuity
The 15 Years Certain and Continuous Annuity form provides for monthly
payments continuing to the first day of the month in which the
Participant's death occurs or the end of the certain period of 180
months, whichever is later. If the Participant dies before the end of the
certain period, payment in the same amount shall be continued to the end
of such period to the beneficiary. If the beneficiary dies before the end
of the certain period, the commuted value of payments not yet made shall
be made to the payee named by the Participant.
(e) Full Cash Refund Annuity
The Full Cash Refund Annuity form provides for monthly payments to the
Participant continuing to the first day of the month in which his death
occurs. Upon his death, the beneficiary shall be entitled to receive, in
cash, the excess, if any, of the Participant's Account Balance as of his
Annuity Commencement Date over the aggregate amount of payments made to
the Participant.
AMOUNT OF PERIODIC BENEFIT PAYMENTS
The amount of monthly Benefit Payments under the Contract will be determined
on the basis of the application of the Participant's Account Balance to the
annuity purchase tables contained in the Contracts in accordance with the form
of benefit selected. The Insurance Company guarantees that the rates used to
determine the amount of Benefit Payments will never be less favorable for a
Participant than the guaranteed rate provided in the Contract.
24
<PAGE>
SMALL BENEFIT PAYMENTS
If the initial monthly payment under an annuity benefit payable under the
Contract would be less than $20, or if any Participant terminates employment
and is eligible for a benefit determined to be less than $20 a month under the
10 Years Certain and Continuous Annuity form (described above), the Insurance
Company shall, in lieu of making the monthly Benefit Payments which would
otherwise be payable to the Participant commencing on the Participant's Annuity
Commencement Date, pay to the Participant on or before the Participant's
Annuity Commencement Date, in a single sum, the value of the Participant's
monthly annuity benefit that would otherwise be payable on the 10 Years Certain
and Continuous Annuity form, provided that single sum does not exceed $3,500.
THE GENERAL ACCOUNT
Deferred Compensation Amounts allocated and transfers made to the Insurance
Company's General Account become part of the general assets of the Insurance
Company, which supports insurance and annuity obligations. Because of exemptive
and exclusionary provisions, interests in the General Account have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") nor is the General
Account registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "1940 Act"). Accordingly, neither the General Account nor any
interests therein are subject generally to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940
Acts, and the Insurance Company has been advised that the staff of the
Commission has not reviewed the disclosures in this Prospectus which relate to
the General Account. Disclosures regarding the fixed portion of the Contracts
and the General Account, however, may be subject to certain generally
applicable provisions of the Federal securities laws relating to the accuracy
and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.
SCOPE OF PROSPECTUS
The Contracts provide for accumulation of Deferred Compensation Amounts on a
completely fixed basis, a completely variable basis, or a combination fixed and
variable basis, and for the payment of periodic benefits on a fixed basis only.
This Prospectus, however, is generally intended to serve as a disclosure
document for the variable portion of the Contracts only. For complete details
regarding the General Account, see the Contracts themselves.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The General Account consists of all of the general assets of the Insurance
Company, other than those in the Separate Account and the other segregated
asset accounts. Amounts are allocated to the General Account at the election of
Participants in the form of remittances made by the Contractholder on their
behalf, or as transfers from the Separate Account. The Insurance Company bears
the full investment risk for all amounts allocated to the General Account
(whereas Participants bear the investment risk for amounts allocated to the
Separate Account). The Insurance Company has sole discretion to invest the
assets of the General Account, subject to applicable law. The Insurance Company
guarantees that it will credit interest to amounts accumulated for Participants
in the General Account at an effective annual rate of at least 3%. The
Insurance Company may, at its sole discretion, credit a higher rate of interest
to amounts allocated to the General Account, although the Insurance Company IS
NOT OBLIGATED TO CREDIT INTEREST IN EXCESS OF 3% PER YEAR. Under Contracts
where employers elect to use electronic media, such as a computer terminal,
personal computer or other electronic device located at the employer's place of
business, to transmit and receive to and from the Insurance Company, relevant
and necessary information with respect to the Contract, subject to the
Insurance Company's established rules and requirements with respect to
accessing computer information, the Insurance Company reserves the right to
credit such Contracts with a different rate of interest in the General Account
than Contracts which do not use such electronic computer processing. Any amount
held in the General Account does not entitle a Participant to share in the
investment experience of the General Account.
TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS
A Plan may provide that at any time prior to a Participant's Annuity
Commencement Date, amounts may be transferred from the Funds of the Separate
Account to the General Account, and, except where restricted by the
Contractholder, from the General Account to the Funds of the Separate Account.
Currently, no charge is imposed for such transfers. The Insurance Company
reserves the right, however, to impose a charge on transfers in the future.
25
<PAGE>
In the event of an unforeseen emergency, a partial or complete withdrawal may
be made from the General Account or the Separate Account prior to a
Participant's Annuity Commencement Date (see "Withdrawals"). In the case of
such withdrawals, the Insurance Company will pay the lesser of (a) the amount
specified in the withdrawal request and (b) the amount that, as of the date of
payment, then represents the total amount in the General Account and the
Separate Account credited to the Participant.
Transfers and withdrawals from the General Account may be delayed for up to
six months following the date that the Company receives such requests.
BENEFIT PAYMENTS
All Benefit Payments under the Contracts are made in the form of a fixed
annuity from the General Account. The Insurance Company does not credit
discretionary interest in excess of the guaranteed rate of 3% to Benefit
Payments. The Contractholder must rely on the annuity purchase tables provided
in the Contracts to determine the amount of Benefit Payments to be made with
respect to a participant.
GENERAL MATTERS
CONTACTING THE INSURANCE COMPANY
Except as provided in the following paragraph, all notices, requests and
elections required to be given or made under the Contracts must be in writing
and mailed or delivered to the Insurance Company's home office at the following
address:
Mutual of America Life Insurance Company
Thomas A. Harwood
Senior Vice President, Field Administration
National Service Support Department
666 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York 10103
or to your appropriate Regional Office. You can check the address for your
Regional Office by calling the following number: 800-468-3785.
TRANSFERS AND RE-ALLOCATIONS BY TELEPHONE
Requests by Participants for transfers or changes in the formula for
allocation of Deferred Compensation Amounts remitted may be made by telephone
in lieu of the written procedure described above. Requests by telephone,
however, may be made only if a Participant has received a Personal
Identification Number, which the Insurance Company provides automatically, and
agreed to use it in accordance with the applicable rules and requirements.
Thereafter, the Participant may contact the Insurance Company by telephone
(800-468-3785) and request the desired transaction or change. Transfers
requested by telephone will go into effect on the days on which the request is
made if received by 4 PM, Eastern Standard time (or Daylight Savings Time, as
applicable), at the next calculated price. The Insurance Company reserves the
right to suspend or terminate the right to request transfers or reallocations
by telephone at any time. Although failure to follow reasonable procedures may
result in the Insurance Company's liability for any losses due to unauthorized
or fraudulent telephone transfers, it will not be liable for following
instructions communicated by telephone that it reasonably believes to be
genuine. The Insurance Company will employ reasonable procedures to confirm
that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. Those procedures shall
consist of confirming the Participant's Social Security number, checking the
Personal Identification Number, tape recording all telephone transactions and
providing written confirmation thereof.
DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY
Under the Plans, and subject to applicable laws, a Participant may designate
(with the right to change such designation from time to time) a beneficiary to
receive any payments with respect to a Participant becoming due to a
beneficiary upon a Participant's death. The Participant may change the
beneficiary while the Participant is living. Generally, the Insurance Company
will pay to the Contractholders, as beneficiaries under the contracts, any
payments becoming due because of a Participant's death.
26
<PAGE>
If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, and unless otherwise
provided by the Plan or directed by a Contractholder, the Insurance Company
will pay any single sum payment or the commuted value of any remaining periodic
payments to the first surviving class of the following classes of successive
preference beneficiaries: (a) the Participant's surviving spouse; (b) the
Participant's surviving children; (c) the Participant's surviving parents; (d)
the Participant's surviving brothers and sisters; and (e) the executors or
administrators of the Participant's estate. Any commuted value will be
determined on the basis of compound interest at a rate, determined by the
Insurance Company, that is consistent with the interest assumption of the rates
used to determine the amount payable under a periodic benefit payment (see
"Amount of Periodic Benefit Payments").
ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT
No assignment of a Contract, nor transfer of any rights conferred thereunder,
is permitted.
THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S LIABILITY
The Insurance Company's liability for the payment of benefits (see "Period
After Annuity Commencement Date"), death benefits and withdrawals (see
"Withdrawals") is limited to the payments provided under the Contracts that
arise from Participants' Account Balances.
Upon exhaustion of all amounts held under a Contract by withdrawals or by
transfers upon discontinuance of the Contract (see "Discontinuance"), that
Contract will terminate and the Insurance Company will be relieved of all
further liability thereunder, except with respect to any periodic benefits
provided on or before the date the Contract was terminated.
The Insurance Company may rely on the reports and other information furnished
by Contractholders or Participants as required under the Contracts, and need
not inquire as to the accuracy or completeness of such reports and information
(see "Information and Determinations").
MODIFICATION OF CONTRACTS
No Contract may be modified as to the Insurance Company, nor may any of the
rights or requirements of the Insurance Company be waived, except in writing
and by a duly authorized officer of the Insurance Company.
A Contract may be changed at any time by the Insurance Company by amendment
or replacement upon at least 31 days' written advance notice to the
Contractholder without the consent of any Participant, or any other person who
is, or may become, entitled to benefits under the Contract, provided that such
changes shall not affect the amount or the terms of the periodic benefits
provided thereunder before such change.
EVIDENCE OF SURVIVAL
When payment of a periodic benefit is contingent upon the survival of any
person, evidence of that person's survival must be furnished to the Insurance
Company, either by the personal endorsement of the check drawn for payment, or
by other means satisfactory to the Insurance Company.
MISSTATEMENT OF INFORMATION
If a benefit provided under one of the Contracts was based on information
that has been misstated, the benefit will not be invalidated, but the amount of
the benefit payments or the amount applied to provide the benefit, or both,
will be adjusted to the proper amount as determined on the basis of the
corrected information.
The amount of any underpayments by the Insurance Company due to any
misstatement shall be paid in full with the next payment due with respect to
the Participant under the Contract. The amount of any overpayments by the
Insurance Company due to any misstatement will be deducted to the extent
possible from the payments thereafter falling due with respect to the
Participant. Interest, based on an annual effective rate of 5%, will be
included in the amount of any underpayments or overpayments.
27
<PAGE>
INFORMATION AND DETERMINATIONS
Contractholders and Participants, as appropriate, will furnish the Insurance
Company with the facts and information that the Insurance Company may require
for the operation of the Contract including, upon request, the original or
photocopy of any pertinent records held by the Contractholder or Participant.
Any determination that a Contractholder is to make will be made pursuant to the
terms of the Contract and will be reported by the Contractholder to the
Insurance Company.
ALTERNATE PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS
The Insurance Company may make payment due to a payee who is physically or
mentally incompetent to receive such payments, or is a minor, to certain other
persons in accordance with the Contracts. Upon making these alternate payments,
the Insurance Company will be discharged from all liability with respect to
payments due to the payee. Payments to a minor will be limited to $250 a month
until either (a) a guardian is appointed or (b) the minor has attained
majority.
PARTICIPATION IN DIVISIBLE SURPLUS
The Insurance Company is a mutual life insurance company and, therefore, has
no stockholders. The Contractholders or Participants share in the earnings of
the Insurance Company. No assurance can be given as to the amount of divisible
surplus, if any, that will be available for distribution under the Contracts in
the future. The determination of such surplus is within the sole discretion of
the Insurance Company's Board of Directors. Under usual circumstances separate
accounts receive little benefit from and contribute little to divisible
surplus.
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
The Insurance Company currently is treated as a nonprofit social welfare
organization under Section 501(c)(4) of the Code, and its pension business is
exempt from federal income taxation. For federal income tax purposes, the
Separate Account is not an entity separate from the Insurance Company, and its
operations are considered part of the Insurance Company. Accordingly, it will
not be taxed separately as a "Regulated Investment Company" under Subchapter M
of the Code. Due to the Insurance Company's current tax status, investment
income and realized capital gains of the Separate Account with respect to its
pension business are not taxable. Section 457 Contracts are part of the
Insurance Company's pension business. However, if the Insurance Company's tax
status should ever change, any federal income tax imposed with respect to the
Separate Account will be reflected in the value of Accumulation Units.
TAXATION OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS
The Contracts offered by this Prospectus are intended to be annuity contracts
for purposes of Section 72 of the Code.
Any contributions by the employer (or earnings thereon) are not taxed to a
Participant until distributed or otherwise made available to the Participant or
his beneficiary.
THE CONTRACT
The Contract is offered for use with an eligible deferred compensation plan
designed to meet the qualifications of Section 457 of the Code. Contractholders
are responsible for establishment and administration of the Plan in accordance
with the provisions of Section 457 of the Code. In addition to limitations on
amounts a Participant may defer (see "Limitations on Deferrals") and
restrictions on withdrawals (see "Withdrawals"), an eligible deferred
compensation plan must provide that the Account Balances under the Contract
shall remain solely the property of the Contractholder, subject only to the
claims of the Contractholder's general creditors, until made available to a
Participant or a Participant's beneficiary.
In general, a death benefit, consisting of amounts paid to a Participant's
beneficiary, is includible in the Participant's estate for federal estate tax
purposes (see "Obtaining Tax Advice").
28
<PAGE>
WITHHOLDING ON BENEFIT PAYMENTS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTION
Federal tax withholding on periodic benefit payments and other distributions
(such as lump sum distributions or partial withdrawals to the extent available
under a Plan) may be required.
OBTAINING TAX ADVICE
The description of this Prospectus of the current federal tax status of
amounts accumulated or received under the Contracts is not exhaustive and is
for information purposes only. The description does not purport to cover all
situations involving the purchase of an annuity or the election of an option
under the Contracts. Tax results may vary depending upon individual situations
and special rules may apply in certain cases. State and local taxes may also
pertain. For these reasons, a qualified tax advisor should be consulted for
complete tax information regarding any specific situation.
VOTING RIGHTS
In accordance with the Insurance Company's view of present applicable law and
so long as the Commission continues to interpret the 1940 Act as requiring
pass-through voting privileges, the Insurance Company will vote the shares of
the Investment Company Funds, the Fidelity Portfolios, the Scudder Portfolios,
the TCI Growth Fund and Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio held in
the Separate Account at regular and special meetings of the shareholders of
such funds or portfolios according to instructions received from persons having
the right to instruct the Insurance Company on how to vote the shares (i.e.,
the Participants). The Insurance Company will vote shares for which it has not
received instructions in the same proportion as the Insurance Company votes
shares for which the Insurance Company has received instructions, except for
shares owned by the Insurance Company representing "seed" money, which will be
voted in the Insurance Company's discretion. The Insurance Company exercises
discretion with respect to less than 1% of the voting interest in the Separate
Account. If the Investment Company Act of 1940 should be amended, or if the
present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result the Insurance
Company determines that it is permitted to vote the shares of the Investment
Company Funds, the Fidelity Portfolios, the Scudder Portfolios, the TCI Growth
Fund and the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio in its own
discretion, it may elect to do so.
The person having the right to give voting instructions to the Insurance
Company is the individual for whom amounts are accumulated in the Separate
Account.
Each person having the right to give voting instructions to the Insurance
Company will receive periodic reports relating to any of the Investment Company
Funds, the Fidelity Portfolios, the Scudder Portfolios, the TCI Growth Fund and
the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio for which he or she has the
right to give voting instructions, including proxy material and a form with
which to give voting instructions.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
MONEY MARKET FUND
From time to time, quotations of the "yield" and "effective yield" of the
Separate Account's Money Market Fund may be included in advertisements, sales
literature or shareholder reports. Both yield figures are based on the
historical Money Market Fund performance of the Fund and show the performance
of a hypothetical investment and are not intended to indicate future
performance. The yield of the Money Market Fund refers to the net investment
income generated by the Fund over a specified seven-day period (the ending date
of which will be stated). This income is then annualized. That is, the amount
of income generated by the Fund during that week is assumed to be generated
during each week in such a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage. The
effective yield is expressed similarly but, when annualized, the income earned
by an investment in the Fund is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield
will be slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of
this assumed reinvestment. Yield and effective yield for the Money Market Fund
will vary based on, among other things, changes in the market conditions, the
level of interest rates and the level of the Money Market Fund's portfolio
expenses.
OTHER FUNDS
From time to time, quotations of a Fund's "total return" may be included in
advertisements, sales literature or shareholder reports. Total return figures
are based on the historical performances of the Fund and show the performance
29
<PAGE>
of a hypothetical investment and are not intended to indicate future
performance. The total return of a Fund refers to return assuming an investment
has been held in the Fund for one, five and ten years and for the life of the
Fund (the ending date of which will be stated). The total return quotations are
expressed in terms of average annual compounded rates of return for all periods
quoted and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were
reinvested. Total return for a Fund will vary based on, among other things,
changes in market conditions and the level of the Fund's expenses.
For a detailed description of the methods used to determine yield and total
return for the Separate Account's Funds, see the Statement of Additional
Information.
FUNDING AND OTHER CHANGES
The Insurance Company reserves the right, subject to compliance with
applicable law, including approval of Participants if so required, (1) to
create new investment funds of the Separate Account at any time; (2) to
transfer assets determined by the Insurance Company to be associated with the
class of contracts to which the Contracts belong from the Separate Account to
another separate account of the Insurance Company by withdrawing the same
percentage of each investment in the Separate Account with appropriate
adjustments to avoid odd lots and fractions; (3) to create additional separate
investment accounts or combine any two or more accounts including the Separate
Account; (4) to operate the Separate Account as a diversified, open-end
management investment company under the 1940 Act, or in any other form
permitted by law, and to designate an investment advisor in connection
therewith, which may be the Insurance Company, an affiliate of the Insurance
Company or another person; (5) to deregister the Separate Account under the
1940 Act; and (6) to operate the Separate Account under the general supervision
of a committee, any or all the members of which may be interested persons (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of the Insurance Company or an affiliate, or to
discharge the committee of one or more of the Separate Accounts.
OTHER VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
In addition to the Contracts described in this Prospectus, the Insurance
Company offers other individual and group variable annuity contracts, some of
which are not described in this Prospectus but which also participate in the
Separate Account.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS
The Insurance Company offers the Contracts for sale on a continuous basis
through certain employees of the Insurance Company. The only compensation paid
for sales of the Contracts is in the form of salary. The Insurance Company is
registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer and is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. All persons engaged in selling
the Contracts are licensed agents of the Insurance Company and are duly
qualified registered representatives.
MONEY MARKET YIELD CALCULATION
In accordance with regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Insurance Company is required to disclose the current
annualized yield of the Money Market Fund of the Separate Account for a seven-
day period in a manner which does not take into consideration any realized or
unrealized gains on losses or shares of the Money Market Fund of the Investment
Company or on its portfolio securities. This current annualized yield is
computed by determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains and losses
on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation) in the
value of a hypothetical account having a balance of one unit of the Money
Market Fund of the Separate Account at the beginning of such seven-day period,
dividing such net change in account value by the value of the account at the
beginning of the period to determine the base period return and annualizing
this quotient on a 365-day basis. The net change in account value reflects the
deductions for administrative and distribution expenses or services and the
mortality and expense risk charge and income and expenses accrued during the
period. Because of these deductions, the yield for the Money Market Fund of the
Separate Account will be lower than the yield for the Money Market Fund of the
Investment Company.
The Securities and Exchange Commission also permits the Insurance Company to
disclose the effective yield of the Money Market Fund of the Separate Account
for the same seven-day period, determined on a compounded basis. The effective
yield is calculated by compounding the unannualized base period return by
adding one to the base period return, raising the sum to a power equal to 365
divided by seven, and subtracting one from the result.
The yield on amounts held in the Money Market Fund of the Separate Account
normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yield for
any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yield or
rates of return. The Money Market Fund of the Separate Account's actual yield
is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average
portfolio maturity of the Money Market Fund of the Investment Company, the
types and quality of portfolio securities held by the Money Market Fund of the
Investment Company, and its operating expenses.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
MONEY MARKET FUND
From time to time, quotations of the performance of the Separate Account's
Money Market Fund may be included in advertisements, sales literature or
shareholder reports. These performance figures are calculated in the following
manner:
A. Yield is the net annualized yield based on a specified seven calendar-
days calculated at simple interest rates. Yield is calculated by
determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical preexisting account having a balance of one share at the
beginning of the period and dividing the difference by the value of the
account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period
return. The yield is annualized by multiplying the base period return by
365/7. The yield figure is stated to the nearest hundredth of one percent.
B. Effective yield is the net annualized yield for a specified seven
calendar-days assuming a reinvestment of the income or compounding.
Effective yield is calculated by the same method as yield except the yield
figure is compounded by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to 365
divided by 7, and subtracting one from the result, according to the
following formula:
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return +1) 365/7]-1.
The current yield of the Money Market Fund of the Separate Account for the
seven-day period ended December 31, 1994 was 4.02%.
As described above, yield and effective yield are based on historical
earnings and show the performance of a hypothetical investment and are not
intended to indicate future performance. Yield and effective yield will vary
based on changes in market conditions and the level of expenses.
2
<PAGE>
In connection with communicating its total return to current or prospective
Participants, the Money Market Fund also may compare these figures to the
performance of other mutual funds tracked by mutual fund rating services or to
other unmanaged indices which may assume reinvestment of dividends but
generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs.
BOND FUNDS
From time to time, quotations of the yield of the Separate Account's
Investment Company Bond Funds and Scudder Bond Fund may be included in
advertisements, sales literature or shareholder reports. Yield is computed by
annualizing net investment income, as determined by the Commission's formula,
calculated on a per accumulation unit basis, for a recent one month or 30-day
period and dividing that amount by the unit value of the Fund at the end of the
period.
FUNDS OTHER THAN MONEY MARKET
From time to time, quotations of a Fund's "total return" may be included in
advertisements, sales literature or shareholder reports. These performance
figures are calculated in the following manner:
A. Average Annual Total Return is the average annual compounded rate of
return for the periods of one year, five years and ten years, if
applicable, all ended on the date of a recent calendar quarter. In
addition, the total return for the life of the Fund is given. Total return
quotations reflect changes in the price of a Fund's shares and assume that
all dividends and capital gains distributions during the respective periods
were reinvested in Fund shares. Total return is calculated by finding the
average annual compounded rates of return of a hypothetical investment over
such periods, according to the following formula (total return is then
expressed as a percentage):
T = (ERV/P) TO THE POWER OF 1 DIVIDED BY N - 1
Where:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<C> <C> <S>
P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

ERV = ending redeemable value: ERV is the value, at the end of the
applicable period, of a hypothetical $1,000 investment made at the
beginning of the applicable period.
</TABLE>
B. Cumulative Total Return is the compound rate of return on a
hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 for a specified period.
Cumulative total return quotations reflect changes in the price of a Fund's
shares and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions during
the period were reinvested in Fund shares. Cumulative total return is
calculated by finding the compound rates of return of a hypothetical
investment over such periods, according to the following formula
(cumulative total return is then expressed as a percentage):
C = (ERV/P) - 1.

The Fidelity VIP II Contrafund Portfolio had not commenced operations as of
December 31, 1994 and is not represented in the above table. The returns for
the All America Fund (previously called the "Stock Fund") prior to May 1, 1994
reflect the results of that Fund prior to a change in its investment objectives
and policies and the addition of subadvisers on that date. The commencement
dates for the Funds reflect the commencement dates for the underlying fund or
portfolio. Separate Account charges have been deducted for funds or portfolios
which commenced operations prior to the commencement of operations of the
corresponding Fund of the Separate Account.
4
<PAGE>
The above figures for the Money Market and other Funds, both for average
annual total return and cumulative total return, reflect charges made to the
Separate Account and also reflect a comparative portion of a $2.00 monthly
contract fee. The monthly contract fee is deducted initially from any net
assets in the Participant's Account which have been allocated to the General
Account. If no net assets are allocated to such Account, the monthly contract
fee would be deducted from the net assets of the Participant's Account which
have been allocated to one of the Funds of the Separate Account in the
following order: (a) Investment Company Money Market, (b) Investment Company
Short-Term Bond, (c) Investment Company Mid-Term Bond, (d) Investment Company
Bond, (e) Scudder Bond, (f) Investment Company Composite, (g) Fidelity VIP II
Asset Manager, (h) Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced, (i) Fidelity VIP
Equity-Income, (j) Investment Company All America, (k) Investment Company
Equity Index, (l) Fidelity VIP II Contrafund, (m) Investment Company Aggressive
Equity, (n) Scudder Capital Growth, (o) Scudder International, and (p) TCI
Growth. As such, the allocation of the net assets of a Participant's Account
would determine whether any monthly contract fee would be charged against a
Separate Account Fund. However, for purposes of illustrating the investment
performance of a $1,000.00 hypothetical investment, the proportionate amount of
the $2.00 fee, as determined by the proportionate amount of the total net
assets of the Separate Account in relation to the total net assets of the
General Account, is deducted.
The actual treatment of the monthly contract fee and its effect on total
return would depend on the Participant's actual allocation. If a Participant
has net assets in the General Account, the monthly contract fee would be
deducted from the General Account, not any Separate Account Fund. Accordingly,
the illustration of such a Participant's net assets held in any of the Funds of
the Separate Account would experience a higher total return than shown above.
If a Participant has no assets allocated to the General Account, but has net
assets allocated to more than one Fund of the Separate Account, the fee would
only be deducted from one of the Funds so that an illustration of total return
figures of the other Funds would be higher than shown above and the Separate
Account Fund from which the fee was deducted would illustrate a lower total
return than shown above. If a Participant has no assets in the General Account,
but has net assets allocated only to one Fund of the Separate Account, then
after deduction of the monthly contract fee, an illustration of such a total
return figure would be lower than that shown above.
Performance figures, when used, are based on historical earnings and are not
guaranteed. They are not necessarily indicative of the future investment
performance of a particular Fund. Total return and yield for a Fund will vary
based on changes in market conditions and the level of the Fund's expenses.
Unit values will fluctuate so shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
than their original cost.
In connection with communicating its total return to current or prospective
Participants, a Fund also may compare these figures to the performance of other
variable annuity accounts tracked by mutual fund rating services or to other
unmanaged indices which may assume reinvestment of dividends but generally do
not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs.
SAFEKEEPING OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT ASSETS
Title to assets of the Separate Account is held by the Insurance Company.
Records are maintained of all purchases and redemptions of eligible Portfolio
Companies shares held by each of the Funds of the Separate Account.
STATE REGULATION
The Insurance Company is subject to regulation by the New York State
Superintendent of Insurance ("Superintendent") as well as by the insurance
departments of all the other states and jurisdictions in which it does
business.
The Insurance Company must file with the Superintendent an annual statement
on a form promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
It must also file with New York and other states a separate statement with
respect to any separate accounts that it may maintain, including the Separate
Account. The Insurance Company's books and assets are subject to review and
examination by the Superintendent and the Superintendent's agents at all times,
and a full examination into the affairs of the Insurance Company is made at
least every five years. A full examination of the Insurance Company's
operations may also be conducted periodically by other states.
The laws of New York and of other states in which the Insurance Company is
licensed to transact business provide specifically for regulation and
supervision of the variable annuity activities of life insurance companies.
Included in such regulations are requirements relating to mandatory contract
provisions and approval of contract form. Such state regulation does not
involve any supervision or control over the investment policies of the Separate
Account, or the selection of investments therefor, except for verification that
any such investments are permissible under applicable law.
5
<PAGE>
Generally, the states in which the Insurance Company does business apply the
laws of New York in determining permissible investments for the Insurance
Company.
PERIODIC REPORTS
Prior to a Participant's Annuity Commencement Date, the Participant will be
provided by the Insurance Company, at least quarterly, with a statement as of a
specified date covering the period since the last statement. The statement will
set forth, for the covered period: (1) the Deferred Compensation deposits made
on behalf of the Participant under 457 Contracts, or Contributions made for the
purchase of an annuity under other Contracts, to the Separate and General
Accounts; the date such Deferred Compensation was deducted from the
Participant's salary or Contribution made and the date it was credited to the
Participant's account; (2) the interest accrued on amounts allocated for the
Participant to the General Account; (3) the number and dollar value of
Accumulation Units credited to the Participant in each Fund of the Separate
Account; and (4) the total amounts of all withdrawals and transfers from each
Account and each Fund. Employers have been informed that payment must be
remitted to the Insurance Company within seven days of the date it has been
withheld from the Participant's pay. The statement also will specify the
Participant's Account Balance available to provide a periodic benefit, cash
return, or death benefit with respect to the Participant. The Insurance Company
will transmit to Participants, at least semi-annually, reports showing the
financial condition of the Separate Account, and a schedule of investments held
in each Fund of the Investment Company.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Insurance Company is engaged in litigation of various kinds which in its
judgment is not of material importance in relation to its total assets. There
are no legal proceedings pending to which the Separate Account is a party.
LEGAL MATTERS
All matters of applicable state law pertaining to the Contracts, including
the Insurance Company's right to issue the Contracts thereunder, have been
passed upon by Patrick A. Burns, Senior Executive Vice President and General
Counsel of the Insurance Company. Legal matters relating to the Federal
securities laws have been passed upon by the law firm of Graham & James, New
York, New York.
EXPERTS
The financial statements included in this Statement of Additional Information
have been audited by the Insurance Company's independent public accountants,
Arthur Andersen LLP, as indicated in their reports with respect thereto, and
are included herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in
giving said reports.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A registration statement has been filed with the Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Contracts discussed in
this Statement of Additional Information. Not all of the information set forth
in the registration statement, amendments and exhibits thereto has been
included in this Statement of Additional Information or in the current
Prospectus for the Contracts. Statements contained herein concerning the
content of the Contracts and other legal instruments are intended to be
summaries. For a complete statement of the terms of those documents, reference
should be made to the materials filed with the Commission.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the Insurance Company that are included in this
Statement of Additional Information should be considered only as bearing on the
ability of the Insurance Company to meet its obligations under the Contracts.
They should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the
assets held in the Separate Account.
To the extent that Participants under the Contracts are participating in the
investment performance of the Separate Account, the amounts of Participants'
Account Balances and annuity payments are affected primarily by the investment
results of the chosen Fund(s) of the Separate Account.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Mutual of America Life Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Mutual of America Separate Account No. 2 as of December 31, 1994, and the
related statement of operations for the periods then ended and the statements
of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the periods in the three
years ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of Mutual of
America Separate Account No. 2 for each of the periods in the two years ended
December 31, 1991, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February
19, 1992 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
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. 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 and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Mutual of America Separate Account No. 2 as of December 31, 1994, and the
results of its operations for the periods then ended and the changes in its net
assets and financial highlights for the periods in the three years ended
December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

MUTUAL OF AMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of New York Insurance
Department. Such statutory practices are considered to be generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") for mutual life insurance companies. The ability
of these insurance entities to fulfill its obligations to contract holders and
policyholders is of primary concern to insurance regulatory authorities. As
such, the financial statements are oriented to the insuring public.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an interpretation
declaring that financial statements of mutual life insurance companies, which
are prepared on the basis of statutory accounting principles, will no longer be
considered to be in conformity with GAAP. This interpretation applies to
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
Further, this interpretation requires that mutual life insurers whose financial
statements purport to be in conformity with GAAP follow all applicable guidance
from which they are not specifically exempt. In addition, certain accounting
principles for mutual life insurance companies, which will ultimately be
required to be in compliance with GAAP, have been determined by the FASB and
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Company has not yet
quantified the financial impact of this interpretation.
Mutual of America Life Insurance Company (the "Company") has also issued
financial statements on a consolidated basis with its wholly owned
subsidiaries. The issuance of such consolidated financial statements was
approved by the State of New York Insurance Department. Accounting policies
applied in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements follow.
Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS 107") requires all
entities to disclose the fair value, where practicable, of its financial
instruments. SFAS 107 does not require disclosure of certain financial
instruments such as insurance contracts other than financial guarantees and
investment contracts. Fair value estimates, methods and significant assumptions
are disclosed in each of the relevant footnotes which follow.
Asset Valuations
Investment valuations are prescribed by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners ("NAIC"). Bonds qualifying for amortization are stated at
amortized cost; short-term investments in good standing are stated at cost.
Fair value for these securities ($3.8 billion in 1994 and $4.0 billion in 1993)
is determined by reference to market prices quoted by the NAIC. If quoted
market prices are not available, fair value is determined using quoted prices
for similar securities. All other bonds and short-term notes are stated at
market value which approximates fair value. Common stocks and preferred stock
in good standing are stated at market value, which approximates fair value.
Market value is determined by reference to valuations quoted by the NAIC.
Unrealized gains and losses are applied directly to unassigned surplus.
Mortgage loans are carried at amortized indebtedness. Fair value for these
loans (approximately $63.6 million in 1994 and $61.4 million in 1993) is
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current rate
at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings
and remaining maturities. Impairments of individual assets that are considered
other than temporary are recognized when incurred.
Real estate investments consist principally of a company-occupied property
and a property under renovation (refer to Note 4). The property under
renovation is stated at cost (including capital improvements) less accumulated
depreciation, or fair value, whichever is lower. The company-occupied property
is stated at cost (including capital improvements) and is depreciated on a
straight-line basis.
Policy loans are stated at the unpaid balance of the loan. The majority of
such loans are issued with variable interest rates which are periodically
adjusted based upon changes in the rates credited to these policies, and
therefore are considered to be stated at fair value.
Certain other assets, such as furniture and fixtures and prepaid expenses,
are excluded from the balance sheet ("non-admitted assets"). Such assets
totaled $40.8 million and $35.4 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

MUTUAL OF AMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
Interest Maintenance and Asset Valuation Reserves
Realized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, arising from changes in
interest rates are accumulated in the Interest Maintenance Reserve ("IMR") and
are amortized into investment income over the estimated remaining life of the
investment sold. All other realized gains and losses are reported in the
Statements of Operations and Surplus.
An Asset Valuation Reserve ("AVR"), applying to the specific risk
characteristics of all invested asset categories excluding cash, policy loans
and investment income accrued has been established based on a statutory
formula. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the
creditworthiness of the borrower are included in the appropriate subcomponent
of the AVR. Changes in the AVR are applied directly to unassigned surplus.
During 1993, the Company made a voluntary addition of $30.5 million to its AVR
to increase it to the maximum value required under the statutory formula.
Guaranteed Funds Transferable
Guaranteed funds transferable consist of funds held by a former reinsurer and
are stated at the total principal amount of future guaranteed transfers to the
Company. Fair value of this fund (approximately $120.2 million in 1994 and
$131.2 million in 1993) is determined by discounting future guaranteed
principal and interest transfers at a market rate of return.
Subsidiary Operations
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at equity in net assets. Changes in
net assets, excluding additional amounts invested, are included in unrealized
capital gains or losses.
Separate Account Operations
Certain annuity considerations may be invested at the participant's
discretion in separate accounts; either a multifund account, which is managed
by the Company, or certain other funds which are managed by outside investment
advisors. All of the funds investment experience is allocated to participants.
Investments held in the separate accounts are stated at market value, which is
equal to fair value. Participants corresponding equity in the separate accounts
is reported as liabilities in the accompanying statements. Operating results of
the separate accounts are combined with the Company's other business in the
accompanying statements. Net operating gains and net realized and unrealized
capital gains in the separate accounts are offset by an increase to reserve
liabilities in the respective separate accounts.
Insurance and Annuity Reserves
Reserves for annuity contracts are computed on the net single premium method
and represent the estimated present value of future retirement benefits. These
reserves are based on mortality and interest rate assumptions (ranging
primarily from 5.0% to 9.25%) which meet statutory requirements. Reserves for
contractual funds not yet used for the purchase of annuities are accumulated at
various interest rates which, during 1994 and 1993 ranged from 4.5% to 6.25%
and 4.5% to 6.0%, respectively, and are deemed sufficient to provide for
contractual surrender values of these funds. Reserves for life and disability
insurance are based on mortality, morbidity and interest rate assumptions which
meet statutory requirements.
Contractual funds not yet used to purchase retirement annuities and other
deposit liabilities are stated at their surrender value, which approximates the
fair value ($4.8 billion and $4.7 billion) at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The fair value of annuity contracts (approximately $.7 billion
and $.8 billion) at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively was determined by
discounting expected future retirement benefits using current mortality tables
and interest rates based on the duration of the expected future benefits. A
weighted average rate of 8.35% and 6.32% was used at December 31,1994 and 1993,
respectively.
In addition, during 1994 and 1993, the Company changed the interest rates
used to value certain annuity and deposit type contracts issued prior to
January 1, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The effect of such changes was to
increase policyholder liabilities above the minimum statutory requirements and
to reduce surplus by $17.3 million and $8.9 million at December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

Premiums, Annuity Considerations, Investment Income and Expenses
Insurance premiums and annuity considerations derived from defined
contribution plans are recognized as income when due. Voluntary savings-type
and defined benefit considerations and other deposits are recognized as income
when received.
Investment income is reported as earned and is presented net of related
investment expenses. Operating expenses, including acquisition costs for new
business and income taxes, are charged to operations as incurred.
2. DEBT SECURITIES HELD AS ASSETS

4. BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS
In October 1992, the Company purchased an office building for its new
corporate headquarters. The purchase price of the building was fully financed.
The property requires that reconstruction work be completed prior to occupancy,
which is expected to occur in mid-1995. At December 31, 1994, the Company had
renovation commitments totaling approximately $16.9 million in connection with
this project. During the reconstruction period, interest costs on the debt
incurred to acquire the building will be deferred and capitalized as a
construction cost as permitted by the State of New York Insurance Department.
In 1994 and 1993, interest costs of $9.3 million for each year were
capitalized.
5. LONG-TERM DEBT
In connection with the acquisition of its new home office, the Company
obtained a $135.0 million, seven-year, 6.91% fixed rate secured term note. Fair
value of the note was approximately $136.5 million and $146.6 million at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The note matures and is payable in
full on October 15, 1999 and is not redeemable prior to that date. Interest on
the note is payable semiannually in April and October. The terms of the note
require that the Company pledge collateral, to be maintained in a trust account
with the lender, consisting of securities issued by the United States
Government or its agencies. The aggregate book and market values of the
collateral must be maintained at a level greater than or equal to 100% and
110%, respectively, of the outstanding balance of the note. At December 31,
securities with a book and market value of approximately $152.6 million and
$132.6 million in 1994 and $153.4 million and $151.6 million in 1993,
respectively, were pledged as collateral. In early 1995, the Company deposited
additional securities with the lender with market values sufficient to meet the
terms of the loan agreement.
6. PENSION PLAN AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company has a qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
covering all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's
funding policy is to contribute annually, at a minimum, the amount necessary to
satisfy the funding requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The accounting for such pension plan is in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87,
"Employer's Accounting for Pensions." Pension expense for 1994 and 1993 was
$2.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of which $593 thousand and $259
thousand in 1994 and 1993, respectively, were allocated to the Company's wholly
owned subsidiaries. The components of net pension expense are as follows:

========= =========
</TABLE>
For financial reporting purposes, the prepaid pension cost at December 31,
1994 and 1993 has been classified as a non-admitted asset.
The Company's pension plan assets consist of an interest in the Company's
general account, participation in one of the Company's separate accounts
(consisting primarily of equity and debt securities) and participation in
certain other funds managed by outside investment advisors.
Benefit payments from the plan made on behalf of retirees were approximately
$11.1 million in 1994 and $3.7 million in 1993. Periodic annuity benefits are
covered by annuities purchased by the plan from the Company. During 1994 and
1993, the Company made contributions to the plan of $7.0 million and $2.2
million, respectively.
In addition to the above noncontributory plan, all employees may participate
in a 401(k) savings plan under which the Company matches half of the employees'
basic contribution up to 6% of salary. The cost of this plan was approximately
$1.2 million in both 1994 and 1993.
In addition to the Company's defined benefit pension plan, the Company has
two defined benefit postretirement plans covering substantially all salaried
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Employees may become eligible
for such benefits upon attainment of retirement age while in the employ of the
Company and satisfaction of service requirements. One plan provides medical and
dental benefits, and the second plan provides life insurance benefits. The
postretirement plans are contributory for those individuals who retire with
less than twenty years of eligible service, with retiree contributions adjusted
annually, and contain other cost-sharing features, such as deductibles and
coinsurance. The accounting for the medical and dental plans anticipates future
cost-sharing changes to the written plan that are consistent with the Company's
expressed intent to increase the retiree contribution rate annually for the
expected general inflation rate for the year.
The accounting for such postretirement benefits is in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employer's Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."
The components of net postretirement benefit cost are as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
During 1994 and 1993, $218 thousand and $161 thousand, respectively, of
postretirement benefit expense were allocated to the Company's wholly owned
subsidiaries.
The following table shows the plan's combined status reconciled with the
amounts reported in the Company's statement of financial condition:

Unrecognized net loss................................... (3,230) (1,737)
------ ------
Accrued postretirement obligation....................... $8,166 $7,174
====== ======
</TABLE>
The weighted average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost
of covered benefit (i.e., health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is
approximately 11.5% for 1994. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a
significant effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed
health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would
increase the accumulated postretirement obligation for the plan as of December
31, 1994 by $1.2 million and the aggregate of the service and interest cost
components of the net periodic benefit cost for 1994 by $.2 million.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 8.75% at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Rental expenses were $8.4 million and $9.5 million in 1994 and 1993,
respectively, of which $1.8 million and $1.9 million were allocated to the
Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, respectively. The minimum rental
commitments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows: 1995, $3.5
million, 1996, $1.4 million; 1997, $1.3 million, 1998, $1.1 million and 1999,
$.5 million. Such leases are principally for leased office space and certain
data processing equipment. Certain office space leases provide for adjustments
to reflect changes in real estate taxes and other operating expenses.
The Company is involved in various legal actions which have arisen in the
course of the Company's business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability with respect to such lawsuits as well as other contingencies is not
considered to be material in relation to the Company's financial statements.
8. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The provisions contained in the Tax Reform Act of 1986 enabled the Company's
pension business (the core of its operations) to remain tax-exempt; however,
the nonpension insurance business (group insurance coverage and certain annuity
business) was deemed to be taxable. The tax provision for Mutual of America
Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries was calculated in accordance with
the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Mutual of America Life Insurance Company
and its life insurance subsidiaries file federal tax returns on a separate
company basis. The noninsurance subsidiaries of the Company file a consolidated
tax return.
9. UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
The Company's subsidiaries' operations include insurance and certain
financial service related activities. At December 31, 1994, subsidiary assets,
liabilities and revenues were $1.26 billion, $1.18 billion and $216.6 million,
respectively. At December 31, 1993, subsidiary assets, liabilities and revenues
were $1.22 billion, $1.15 billion and $221 million, respectively.
The Company has incurred operating and investment-related expenses in
connection with the use of its personnel and property on behalf of its
subsidiaries. During 1994 and 1993, operating and investment-related expenses
of $18.2 million and $1.1 million and $15.9 million and $1.7 million,
respectively, were allocated to its subsidiaries.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company,
the Fund and the Underwriter agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. Sale of Fund Shares
-------------------
1.1. The Underwriter agrees to sell to the Company those shares of the
Fund which each Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at the
net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the
order for the shares of the Fund. For purposes of this Section 1.1, the Company
shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each Account
and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that
the
2
<PAGE>
Fund receives notice of such order by 9:00 a.m. Boston time on the next
following Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net
asset value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
1.2. The Fund agrees to make its shares available indefinitely for
purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company and its
Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant
to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Fund shall use
reasonable efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day which the New
York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board of Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter the "Board") may refuse to sell
shares of any Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of
shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory
authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Board
acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under federal and
any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders
of such Portfolio.
1.3. The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the Fund will
be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts.
No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.
1.4. The Fund and the Underwriter will not sell Fund shares to any
insurance company or separate account unless an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as Articles I, III, V, VII and Section 2.5 of Article II
of this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales.
1.5. The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, on the Company's request, any
full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Company, executing such
requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by
the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption. For purposes of this
Section 1.5, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of
requests for redemption from each Account and receipt by such designee shall
constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund receives notice of such
request for redemption on the next following Business Day.
1.6. The Company agrees that purchases and redemptions of Portfolio
shares offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of such prospectus. The Company agrees that all
net amounts available in the Accounts and under the variable annuity policies
and/or variable annuity contracts with the form number(s) which are listed on
Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, as such
Schedule A may be amended from time to time hereafter by mutual written
agreement of all the parties hereto, (the "Contracts") shall be invested in the
Fund, in such other Funds advised by the Adviser as may be mutually agreed to in
writing by the parties hereto, or in the Company's general account, provided
that such amounts may also be invested in an investment company other than the
Fund if (a) such other investment company, or series thereof, has investment
objectives or policies that are substantially different from the investment
objectives and policies of all the Portfolios of the Fund then utilized by the
Accounts; or (b) the
3
<PAGE>
Company gives the Fund and the Underwriter 45 days written notice of its
intention to make such other investment company available as a funding vehicle
for the Contracts; or (c) such other investment company was available as a
funding vehicle for the Contracts prior to the date of this Agreement and the
Company so informs the Fund and Underwriter prior to their signing this
Agreement (a list of such funds appearing on Schedule C to this Agreement); or
(d) the Fund or Underwriter consents to the use of such other investment
company.
1.7. The Company shall pay for Fund shares on the next Business Day
after an order to purchase Fund shares is made in accordance with the provisions
of Section 1.1 hereof. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire,
and if more than one Account is entering a purchase order on a particular day
payments on behalf of multiple Accounts may be aggregated for purchases of
Portfolio shares. However, if one or more Accounts are redeeming shares on a
given day the amount of any redemptions may NOT be netted against any purchases,
by that Account or other Accounts. For purpose of Section 2.10 and 2.11, upon
receipt by the Fund of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be
the responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the
Fund.
1.8. Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by book entry
only. Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Account.
Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for each
Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.
1.9. The Fund shall furnish same day notice (by wire or telephone,
followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income, dividends or
capital gain distributions payable on the Fund's shares. The Company hereby
elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions as
are payable on the Portfolio shares in additional shares of that Portfolio. The
Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such
income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Fund shall notify
the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and
distributions.
1.10. The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for each
Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably
practical after the net asset value per share is calculated (normally by 6:30
p.m. Boston time) and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value
per share available by 7 p.m. Boston time.
ARTICLE II. Representations and Warranties
------------------------------
2.1. The Company represents and warrants that the Contracts are or
will be registered under the 1933 Act if registration is required under the 1933
Act; that the Contracts will be issued and sold in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable Federal and State laws and that the sale of the
Contracts shall comply in all material respects with state insurance suitability
requirements. The Company further represents and warrants that it is an
insurance company duly organized and in good standing under applicable law and

4

1940 Act to serve as a segregated investment account for the Contracts if such
registration is required under the 1940 Act.
2.2. The Fund represents and warrants that Fund shares sold pursuant
to this Agreement shall be registered under the 1933 Act, duly authorized for
issuance and sold in compliance with the laws of the State of New York and all
applicable federal and state securities laws and that the Fund is and shall
remain registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund shall amend the Registration
Statement for its shares under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act from time to time

Underwriter.
2.3. The Fund represents that it is currently qualified as a Regulated

amended, (the "Code") and that it will make every effort to maintain such

that it will notify the Company immediately upon having a reasonable basis for
believing that it has ceased to so qualify or that it might not so qualify in
the future.
2.4. The Company represents that the Contracts are currently treated

finance distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act or
otherwise, although it may make such payments in the future. The Fund has
adopted a "no fee" or "defensive" Rule 12b-1 Plan under which it makes no
payments for distribution expenses. To the extent that it decides to finance
distribution expenses pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund undertakes to have a
board of trustees, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Fund,
formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
expenses.
2.6. The Fund makes no representation as to whether any aspect of its
operations (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses and investment
policies) complies with the insurance laws or regulations of the various states
except that the Fund represents that the Fund's investment policies, fees and
expenses are and shall at all times remain in compliance with the laws of the
State of New York and the Fund and the Underwriter represent that their
respective operations are and shall at all times remain in material compliance
with the laws of the State of New York to the extent required to perform this

The Underwriter further
5

represents that it will sell and distribute the Fund shares in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York and all applicable state and federal
securities laws, including without limitation the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, and
the 1940 Act.
2.8. The Fund represents that it is lawfully organized and validly
existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that it does
and will comply in all material respects with the 1940 Act.
2.9. The Underwriter represents and warrants that the Adviser is and
shall remain duly registered in all material respects under all applicable
federal and state securities laws and that the Adviser shall perform its
obligations for the Fund in compliance in all material respects with the laws of
the State of New York and any applicable state and federal securities laws.
2.10. The Fund and Underwriter represent and warrant that all of their
directors, officers, employees, investment advisers, and other
individuals/entities dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund are
and shall continue to be at all times covered by a blanket fidelity bond or
similar coverage for the benefit of the Fund in an amount not less than the
minimal coverage as required currently by Rule 17g-(1) of the 1940 Act or
related provisions as may be promulgated from time to time. The aforesaid Bond
shall include coverage for larceny and embezzlement and shall be issued by a
reputable bonding company.
2.11. The Company represents and warrants that all of its directors,
officers, employees, investment advisers, and other individuals/entities dealing
with the money and/or securities of the Fund are covered by a blanket fidelity
bond or similar coverage for the benefit of the Fund, and that said bond is
issued by a reputable bonding company, includes coverage for larceny and
embezzlement, and is in an amount not less than $5 million. The Company agrees
to make all reasonable efforts to see that this bond or another bond containing
these provisions is always in effect, and agrees to notify the Fund and the
Underwriter in the event that such coverage no longer applies.
ARTICLE III. Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting
-----------------------------------------
3.1. The Underwriter shall provide the Company with as many printed
copies of the Fund's current prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
as the Company may reasonably request. If requested by the Company in lieu
thereof, the Fund shall provide camera-ready film (in either or both of two
sizes, per the Company's request: 8.375" by 10.875" and 5.375" by 8.375")
containing the Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and
such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company once
each year (or more frequently if the prospectus and/or Statement of Additional
Information for the Fund is amended during the year) to have the prospectus for
the Contracts and the Fund's prospectus printed together in one document, and to
have the Statement of Additional Information for the Fund and the Statement of
Additional Information for the Contracts printed together in one document.
Alternatively, the Company may print the Fund's prospectus and/or its Statement
of Additional Information in combination with other fund companies' prospectuses
and statements
6
<PAGE>
of additional information. Except as provided in the following three sentences,
all expenses of printing and distributing Fund prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information shall be the expense of the Company. For prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information provided by the Company to its existing
owners of Contracts in order to update disclosure as required by the 1933 Act
and/or the 1940 Act, the cost of printing shall be borne by the Fund. If the
Company chooses to receive camera-ready film or computer diskettes in lieu of
receiving printed copies of the Fund's prospectus, the Fund will reimburse the
Company in an amount equal to the product of A and B where A is the number of
such prospectuses distributed to owners of the Contracts, and B is the Fund's
per unit cost of typesetting and printing the Fund's prospectus. The same
procedures shall be followed with respect to the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information.
The Company agrees to provide the Fund or its designee with such
information as may be reasonably requested by the Fund to assure that the Fund's
expenses do not include the cost of printing any prospectuses or Statements of
Additional Information other than those actually distributed to existing owners
of the Contracts.
3.2. The Fund's prospectus shall state that the Statement of
Additional Information for the Fund is available from the Underwriter or the
Company (or in the Fund's discretion, the Prospectus shall state that such
Statement is available from the Fund).
3.3. The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company with copies
of its proxy statements, reports to shareholders, and other communications
(except for prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information, which are
covered in Section 3.1) to shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall
reasonably require for distributing to Contract owners. If requested by the
Company, the Fund shall provide camera ready film containing the Fund's semi-
annual and annual reports to shareholders.
3.4. If and to the extent required by law the Company shall:
(i) solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;
(ii) vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions
received from Contract owners; and
(iii) vote Fund shares for which no instructions have been
received in a particular separate account in the same
proportion as Fund shares of such portfolio for which
instructions have been received in that separate account,
so long as and to the extent that the Securities and Exchange Commission
continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges
for variable contract owners. The Company reserves the right to vote Fund
shares held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to the extent
permitted by law. Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for
assuring that each of their separate accounts participating in the Fund
calculates voting privileges in a manner consistent with the standards set forth
on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which
standards will also be provided to the other Participating Insurance Companies.
7
<PAGE>
3.5. The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act
requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either provide
for annual meetings or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act (although the
Fund is not one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of that Act) as well as
with Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b). Further, the Fund will
act in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's interpretation
of the requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic elections of
trustees and with whatever rules the Commission may promulgate with respect
thereto.
ARTICLE IV. Sales Material and Information
------------------------------
4.1. The Company shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to the
Fund or its designee, each piece of sales literature or other promotional
material in which the Fund or its investment adviser or the Underwriter is
named, at least fifteen Business Days prior to its use. No such material shall
be used if the Fund or its designee reasonably objects to such use within
fifteen Business Days after receipt of such material.
4.2. The Company shall not give any information or make any
representations or statements on behalf of the Fund or concerning the Fund in
connection with the sale of the Contracts other than the information or
representations contained in the registration statement or prospectus for the
Fund shares, as such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, or in reports or proxy statements for the Fund,

designee or by the Underwriter, except with the permission of the Fund or the
Underwriter or the designee of either.
4.3. The Fund, Underwriter, or its designee shall furnish, or shall

No such material shall be used if the Company or its designee reasonably objects
to such use within fifteen Business Days after receipt of such material.
4.4. The Fund and the Underwriter shall not give any information or
make any representations on behalf of the Company or concerning the Company,
each Account, or the Contracts other than the information or representations
contained in a registration statement or prospectus for the Contracts, as such
registration statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time
to time, or in published reports for each Account which are in the public domain

use by the Company.

other promotional material" includes, but is not limited to, any of the
following that refer to the Fund or any affiliate of the Fund: advertisements
(such as material published, or designed for use in, a newspaper, magazine, or
other periodical, radio, television, telephone or tape recording, videotape
display, signs or billboards, motion pictures, or other public media), sales

any other advertisement, sales literature, or published article), educational or
training materials or other communications distributed or made generally

ARTICLE V. Fees and Expenses
-----------------
5.1. The Fund and Underwriter shall pay no fee or other compensation
to the Company under this agreement, except that if the Fund or any Portfolio
adopts and implements a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
expenses, then the Underwriter may make payments to the Company or to the
underwriter for the Contracts if and in amounts agreed to by the Underwriter in
writing and such payments will be made out of existing fees otherwise payable to
the Underwriter, past profits of the Underwriter or other resources available to
the Underwriter. No such payments shall be made directly by the Fund.
Currently, no such payments are contemplated.
5.2. All expenses incident to performance by the Fund under this
Agreement shall be paid by the Fund. The Fund shall see to it that all its
shares are registered and authorized for issuance in accordance with applicable
federal law and, if and to the extent deemed advisable by the Fund, in
accordance with applicable state laws prior to their sale. The Fund shall bear
the expenses for the cost of registration and qualification of the Fund's
shares, preparation and filing of the Fund's prospectus and registration
statement, proxy materials and reports, setting the prospectus in type, setting

<PAGE>
5.3. The Company shall bear the expenses of distributing the Fund's
prospectus, proxy materials and reports to owners of Contracts issued by the
Company.
ARTICLE VI. Diversification
---------------
6.1. The Fund will at all times invest money from the Contracts in
such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as variable
contracts under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. Without
limiting the scope of the foregoing, the Fund will at all times comply with
Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5, relating to the
diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance
contracts and any amendments or other modifications to such Section or
Regulations. In the event of a breach of this Article VI by the Fund, it will
take all reasonable steps (a) to notify Company of such breach and (b) to
adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance with the grace period
afforded by Regulation 1.817-5.
ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts
-------------------
7.1. The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material
irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners of all
separate accounts investing in the Fund. An irreconcilable material conflict
may arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state
insurance regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state
insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private
letter ruling, no-action or interpretative letter, or any similar action by
insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or
judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the
investments of any Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting
instructions given by variable annuity contract and variable life insurance
contract owners; or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard the voting
instructions of contract owners. The Board shall promptly inform the Company if
it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the
implications thereof.
7.2. The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of
which it is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board in carrying
out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, by providing
the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider
any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the
Company to inform the Board whenever contract owner voting instructions are
disregarded.
7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of
its disinterested trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the
Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense and
to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including: (1),
withdrawing
10
<PAGE>
the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from the Fund
or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote
of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of
any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance contract
----
owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating Insurance
Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected
contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2), establishing a new
registered management investment company or managed separate account, provided,
however, that the Company shall have the right to choose which course of action
is appropriate if more than one is available to remedy the problem.
7.4. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a
decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that
decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the
Company may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the affected
Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to
such Account; provided, however that such withdrawal and termination shall be
limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict
as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Any such
withdrawal and termination must take place within six (6) months after the Fund
gives written notice that this provision is being implemented, and until the end
of that six month period the Underwriter and Fund shall continue to accept and
implement orders by the Company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of
the Fund.
7.5. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular
state insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company conflicts with
the majority of other state regulators, then the Company will withdraw the
affected Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with
respect to such Account within six months after the Board informs the Company in
writing that it has determined that such decision has created an irreconcilable
material conflict; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall
be limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable
conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board.
Until the end of the foregoing six month period, the Underwriter and Fund shall
continue to accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase (and
redemption) of shares of the Fund.
7.6. For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether any
proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in
no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the
Contracts. The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new
funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote
of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the
irreconcilable material conflict. In the event that the Board determines that
any proposed action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material
conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund
and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the
Company in writing of the foregoing determination, provided, however, that such
withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required
11
<PAGE>
by any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board.
7.7. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are amended,
or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the
Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding
(as defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions
materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order,
then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as appropriate,
shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules 6e-2 and 6e-3(T),
as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such rules are applicable;
and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of this Agreement shall
continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions substantially
identical to such Sections are contained in such Rule(s) as so amended or
adopted.

------------------------------
8.1(a). The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and
each trustee of the Board and officers and each person, if any, who controls the

"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.1) against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with
the written consent of the Company) or litigation (including legal and other
expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any
statute, regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements
are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund's shares or the Contracts
and:
(i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or alleged
untrue statements of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or prospectus for the Contracts or contained in the Contracts
or sales literature for the Contracts (or any amendment or supplement
to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, provided that this agreement to indemnify shall
not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or
such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
the Fund for use in the Registration Statement or prospectus for the
Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature (or any amendment or
supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the
Contracts or Fund shares or approved by the Fund or its designee under
Section 4.1 hereof; or
12
<PAGE>
(ii) arise out of or as a result of statements or representations
(other than statements or representations contained in the Registration
Statement, prospectus or sales literature of the Fund not supplied by
the Company, or persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of the

therein not misleading if such a statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Fund
by or on behalf of the Company; or
(iv) arise as a result of any failure by the Company to provide the
services and furnish the materials under the terms of this Agreement;
or
(v) arise out of or result from any material breach of any
representation and/or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or
arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement

duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of
obligations or duties under this Agreement or to the Fund, whichever is
applicable.

provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party

process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been
served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party
shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent),
but failure to notify the Company of any such claim shall not relieve
the Company from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified
Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of
this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought
against the Indemnified Parties, the Company shall be entitled to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such action. The
Company also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice
from the Company to such party of the Company's election to assume the
defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses
of any additional counsel
13

retained by it, and the Company will not be liable to such party under
this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such party independently in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation. The Indemnified Parties shall
not settle or otherwise compromise any claim for which indemnification
may be sought from the Company without the Company's prior written
consent.
8.1(d). The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the Company of
the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against them in

(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.2)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid

Redemption. Furthermore, except in cases where permitted under the terms of the
Contracts, the Company shall not prevent Contract Owners from allocating
payments to a Portfolio that was otherwise available under the Contracts without
first giving the Fund or the Underwriter 90 days notice of its intention to do

SCHEDULE B
PROXY VOTING PROCEDURE
The following is a list of procedures and corresponding responsibilities for the
handling of proxies relating to the Fund by the Underwriter, the Fund and the
Company. The defined terms herein shall have the meanings assigned in the
Participation Agreement except that the term "Company" shall also include the
department or third party assigned by the Insurance Company to perform the steps
delineated below.
1. The number of proxy proposals is given to the Company by the Underwriter as
early as possible before the date set by the Fund for the shareholder
meeting to facilitate the establishment of tabulation procedures. At this
time the Underwriter will inform the Company of the Record, Mailing and
Meeting dates. This will be done verbally approximately two months before
meeting.
2. Promptly after the Record Date, the Company will perform a "tape run", or
other activity, which will generate the names, addresses and number of units
which are attributed to each contractowner/policyholder (the "Customer") as
of the Record Date. Allowance should be made for account adjustments made
after this date that could affect the status of the Customers' accounts as
of the Record Date.
Note: The number of proxy statements is determined by the activities
described in Step #2. The Company will use its best efforts to call in the
number of Customers to Fidelity, as soon as possible, but no later than two
weeks after the Record Date.
3. The Fund's Annual Report no longer needs to be sent to each Customer by the
Company either before or together with the Customers' receipt of a proxy
statement. Underwriter will provide the last Annual Report to the Company
pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3 of the Agreement to which this Schedule
relates.
4. The text and format for the Voting Instruction Cards ("Cards" or "Card") is
provided to the Company by the Fund. The Company, at its expense, shall
produce and personalize the Voting Instruction Cards. The Legal Department
of the Underwriter or its affiliate ("Fidelity Legal") must approve the Card
before it is printed. Allow approximately 2-4 business days for printing
information on the Cards. Information commonly found on the Cards includes:
a. name (legal name as found on account registration)
b. address
c. Fund or account number
d. coding to state number of units
e. individual Card number for use in tracking and verification of votes
(already on Cards as printed by the Fund)
(This and related steps may occur later in the chronological process due to
possible uncertainties relating to the proposals.)
24
<PAGE>
5. During this time, Fidelity Legal will develop, produce, and the Fund will
pay for the Notice of Proxy and the Proxy Statement (one document). Printed
and folded notices and statements will be sent to Company for insertion into
envelopes (envelopes and return envelopes are provided and paid for by the
Insurance Company). Contents of envelope sent to Customers by Company will
include:
a. Voting Instruction Card(s)
b. One proxy notice and statement (one document)
c. return envelope (postage pre-paid by Company) addressed to the
Company or its tabulation agent
d. "urge buckslip" - optional, but recommended. (This is a small,
single sheet of paper that requests Customers to vote as quickly
as possible and that their vote is important. One copy will be
supplied by the Fund.)
e. cover letter - optional, supplied by Company and reviewed and
approved in advance by Fidelity Legal as to references to the
Fund, the Underwriter or any affiliate of either.
6. The above contents should be received by the Company approximately 3-5
business days before mail date. Individual in charge at Company reviews and
approves the contents of the mailing package to ensure correctness and
completeness. Copy of this approval sent to Fidelity Legal.
7. Package mailed by the Company.
* The Fund must allow at least a 15-day solicitation time to the Company
----
as the shareowner. (A 5-week period is recommended.) Solicitation
time is calculated as calendar days from (but not including) the
---
meeting, counting backwards.
8. Collection and tabulation of Cards begins. Tabulation usually takes place
in another department or another vendor depending on process used. An often
used procedure is to sort Cards on arrival by proposal into vote categories
of all yes, no, or mixed replies, and to begin data entry.
Note: Postmarks are not generally needed. A need for postmark information
would be due to an insurance company's internal procedure and has not been
required by Fidelity in the past.
9. Signatures on Card checked against legal name on account registration which
was printed on the Card.
Note: For Example, If the account registration is under "Bertram C. Jones,
Trustee," then that is the exact legal name to be printed on the Card and is
the signature needed on the Card.
25
<PAGE>
10. If Cards are mutilated, or for any reason are illegible or are not signed
properly, they are sent back to Customer with an explanatory letter, a new
Card and return envelope. The mutilated or illegible Card is disregarded
and considered to be not received for purposes of vote tabulation. Any
--- --------
Cards that have "kicked out" (e.g. mutilated, illegible) of the procedure
are "hand verified," i.e., examined as to why they did not complete the
system. Any questions on those Cards are usually remedied individually.
11. There are various control procedures used to ensure proper tabulation of
votes and accuracy of that tabulation. The most prevalent is to sort the
Cards as they first arrive into categories depending upon their vote; an
estimate of how the vote is progressing may then be calculated. If the
initial estimates and the actual vote do not coincide, then an internal
audit of that vote should occur. This may entail a recount.
12. The actual tabulation of votes is done in units which is then converted to
shares. (It is very important that the Fund receives the tabulations stated
in terms of a percentage and the number of shares.) Fidelity Legal must
------
review and approve tabulation format.
13. Final tabulation in shares is verbally given by the Company to Fidelity
Legal on the morning of the meeting not later than 10:00 a.m. Boston time.
Fidelity Legal may request an earlier deadline if required to calculate the
vote in time for the meeting.
14. A Certification of Mailing and Authorization to Vote Shares will be required
from the Company as well as an original copy of the final vote. Fidelity
Legal will provide a standard form for each Certification.
15. The Company will be required to box and archive the Cards received from the
Customers. In the event that any vote is challenged or if otherwise
necessary for legal, regulatory, or accounting purposes, Fidelity Legal will
be permitted reasonable access to such Cards.
16. All approvals and "signing-off" may be done orally, but must always be
followed up in writing.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company,
the Fund and the Underwriter agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. Sale of Fund Shares
-------------------
1.1. The Underwriter agrees to sell to the Company those shares of the
Fund which each Account orders, executing such orders on a daily basis at the
net asset value next computed after receipt by the Fund or its designee of the
order for the shares of the Fund. For purposes of this Section 1.1, the Company
shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of such orders from each Account
and receipt by such designee shall constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that
the
2
<PAGE>
Fund receives notice of such order by 9:00 a.m. Boston time on the next
following Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which the Fund calculates its net
asset value pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
1.2. The Fund agrees to make its shares available indefinitely for
purchase at the applicable net asset value per share by the Company and its
Accounts on those days on which the Fund calculates its net asset value pursuant
to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Fund shall use
reasonable efforts to calculate such net asset value on each day which the New
York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board of Trustees of the Fund (hereinafter the "Board") may refuse to sell
shares of any Portfolio to any person, or suspend or terminate the offering of
shares of any Portfolio if such action is required by law or by regulatory
authorities having jurisdiction or is, in the sole discretion of the Board
acting in good faith and in light of their fiduciary duties under federal and
any applicable state laws, necessary in the best interests of the shareholders
of such Portfolio.
1.3. The Fund and the Underwriter agree that shares of the Fund will
be sold only to Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts.
No shares of any Portfolio will be sold to the general public.
1.4. The Fund and the Underwriter will not sell Fund shares to any
insurance company or separate account unless an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as Articles I, III, V, VII and Section 2.5 of Article II
of this Agreement is in effect to govern such sales.
1.5. The Fund agrees to redeem for cash, on the Company's request, any
full or fractional shares of the Fund held by the Company, executing such
requests on a daily basis at the net asset value next computed after receipt by
the Fund or its designee of the request for redemption. For purposes of this
Section 1.5, the Company shall be the designee of the Fund for receipt of
requests for redemption from each Account and receipt by such designee shall
constitute receipt by the Fund; provided that the Fund receives notice of such
request for redemption on the next following Business Day.
1.6. The Company agrees that purchases and redemptions of Portfolio
shares offered by the then current prospectus of the Fund shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of such prospectus. The Company agrees that all
net amounts available in the Accounts and under the variable annuity policies
and/or variable annuity contracts with the form number(s) which are listed on
Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, as such
Schedule A may be amended from time to time hereafter by mutual written
agreement of all the parties hereto, (the "Contracts") shall be invested in the
Fund, in such other Funds advised by the Adviser as may be mutually agreed to in
writing by the parties hereto, or in the Company's general account, provided
that such amounts may also be invested in an investment company other than the
Fund if (a) such other investment company, or series thereof, has investment
objectives or policies that are substantially different from the investment
objectives and policies of all the Portfolios of the Fund then utilized by the
Accounts; or (b) the
3
<PAGE>
Company gives the Fund and the Underwriter 45 days written notice of its
intention to make such other investment company available as a funding vehicle
for the Contracts; or (c) such other investment company was available as a
funding vehicle for the Contracts prior to the date of this Agreement and the
Company so informs the Fund and Underwriter prior to their signing this
Agreement (a list of such funds appearing on Schedule C to this Agreement); or
(d) the Fund or Underwriter consents to the use of such other investment
company.
1.7. The Company shall pay for Fund shares on the next Business Day
after an order to purchase Fund shares is made in accordance with the provisions
of Section 1.1 hereof. Payment shall be in federal funds transmitted by wire,
and if more than one Account is entering a purchase order on a particular day
payments on behalf of multiple Accounts may be aggregated for purchases of
Portfolio shares. However, if one or more Accounts are redeeming shares on a
given day the amount of any redemptions may NOT be netted against any purchases,
by that Account or other Accounts. For purpose of Section 2.10 and 2.11, upon
receipt by the Fund of the federal funds so wired, such funds shall cease to be
the responsibility of the Company and shall become the responsibility of the
Fund.
1.8. Issuance and transfer of the Fund's shares will be by book entry
only. Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or any Account.
Shares ordered from the Fund will be recorded in an appropriate title for each
Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.
1.9. The Fund shall furnish same day notice (by wire or telephone,
followed by written confirmation) to the Company of any income, dividends or
capital gain distributions payable on the Fund's shares. The Company hereby
elects to receive all such income dividends and capital gain distributions as
are payable on the Portfolio shares in additional shares of that Portfolio. The
Company reserves the right to revoke this election and to receive all such
income dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. The Fund shall notify
the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such dividends and
distributions.
1.10. The Fund shall make the net asset value per share for each
Portfolio available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably
practical after the net asset value per share is calculated (normally by 6:30
p.m. Boston time) and shall use its best efforts to make such net asset value
per share available by 7 p.m. Boston time.

board of trustees, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Fund,
formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
expenses.

operations (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses and investment
policies) complies with the insurance laws or regulations of the various states
except that the Fund represents that the Fund's investment policies, fees and
expenses are and shall at all times remain in compliance with the laws of the

existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that it does

2.9. The Underwriter represents and warrants that the Adviser is and
shall remain duly registered in all material respects under all applicable
federal and state securities laws and that the Adviser shall perform its

directors, officers, employees, investment advisers, and other
individuals/entities dealing with the money and/or securities of the Fund are
and shall continue to be at all times covered by a blanket fidelity bond or
similar coverage for the benefit of the Fund in an amount not less than the
minimal coverage as required currently by Rule 17g-(1) of the 1940 Act or
related provisions as may be promulgated from time to time. The aforesaid Bond
shall include coverage for larceny and embezzlement and shall be issued by a
reputable bonding company.
2.11. The Company represents and warrants that all of its directors,

embezzlement, and is in an amount not less than $5 million. The Company agrees
to make all reasonable efforts to see that this bond or another bond containing
these provisions is always in effect, and agrees to notify the Fund and the
Underwriter in the event that such coverage no longer applies.
ARTICLE III. Prospectuses and Proxy Statements; Voting
-----------------------------------------
3.1. The Underwriter shall provide the Company with as many printed
copies of the Fund's current prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
as the Company may reasonably request. If requested by the Company in lieu
thereof, the Fund shall provide camera-ready film (in either or both of two
sizes, per the Company's request: 8.375" by 10.875" and 5.375" by 8.375")
containing the Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and
such other assistance as is reasonably necessary in order for the Company once
each year (or more frequently if the prospectus and/or Statement of Additional
Information for the Fund is amended during the year) to have the prospectus for
the Contracts and the Fund's prospectus printed together in one document, and to
have the Statement of Additional Information for the Fund and the Statement of
Additional Information for the Contracts printed together in one document.
Alternatively, the Company may print the Fund's prospectus and/or its Statement
of Additional Information in combination with other fund companies' prospectuses
and statements
6
<PAGE>
of additional information. Except as provided in the following three sentences,
all expenses of printing and distributing Fund prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information shall be the expense of the Company. For prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information provided by the Company to its existing
owners of Contracts in order to update disclosure as required by the 1933 Act
and/or the 1940 Act, the cost of printing shall be borne by the Fund. If the
Company chooses to receive camera-ready film or computer diskettes in lieu of
receiving printed copies of the Fund's prospectus, the Fund will reimburse the
Company in an amount equal to the product of A and B where A is the number of
such prospectuses distributed to owners of the Contracts, and B is the Fund's
per unit cost of typesetting and printing the Fund's prospectus. The same
procedures shall be followed with respect to the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information.
The Company agrees to provide the Fund or its designee with such
information as may be reasonably requested by the Fund to assure that the Fund's
expenses do not include the cost of printing any prospectuses or Statements of
Additional Information other than those actually distributed to existing owners
of the Contracts.
3.2. The Fund's prospectus shall state that the Statement of
Additional Information for the Fund is available from the Underwriter or the
Company (or in the Fund's discretion, the Prospectus shall state that such
Statement is available from the Fund).
3.3. The Fund, at its expense, shall provide the Company with copies
of its proxy statements, reports to shareholders, and other communications
(except for prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information, which are
covered in Section 3.1) to shareholders in such quantity as the Company shall
reasonably require for distributing to Contract owners. If requested by the
Company, the Fund shall provide camera ready film containing the Fund's semi-
annual and annual reports to shareholders.
3.4. If and to the extent required by law the Company shall:
(i) solicit voting instructions from Contract owners;
(ii) vote the Fund shares in accordance with instructions
received from Contract owners; and
(iii) vote Fund shares for which no instructions have been
received in a particular separate account in the same
proportion as Fund shares of such portfolio for which
instructions have been received in that separate account,
so long as and to the extent that the Securities and Exchange Commission
continues to interpret the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges
for variable contract owners. The Company reserves the right to vote Fund
shares held in any segregated asset account in its own right, to the extent
permitted by law. Participating Insurance Companies shall be responsible for
assuring that each of their separate accounts participating in the Fund
calculates voting privileges in a manner consistent with the standards set forth
on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which
standards will also be provided to the other Participating Insurance Companies.
7
<PAGE>
3.5. The Fund will comply with all provisions of the 1940 Act
requiring voting by shareholders, and in particular the Fund will either provide
for annual meetings or comply with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act (although the
Fund is not one of the trusts described in Section 16(c) of that Act) as well as
with Sections 16(a) and, if and when applicable, 16(b). Further, the Fund will
act in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's interpretation
of the requirements of Section 16(a) with respect to periodic elections of
trustees and with whatever rules the Commission may promulgate with respect
thereto.
ARTICLE IV. Sales Material and Information

Fund or its designee, each piece of sales literature or other promotional
material in which the Fund or its investment adviser or the Underwriter is

fifteen Business Days after receipt of such material.
4.2. The Company shall not give any information or make any
representations or statements on behalf of the Fund or concerning the Fund in
connection with the sale of the Contracts other than the information or
representations contained in the registration statement or prospectus for the
Fund shares, as such registration statement and prospectus may be amended or

designee or by the Underwriter, except with the permission of the Fund or the
Underwriter or the designee of either.
4.3. The Fund, Underwriter, or its designee shall furnish, or shall

No such material shall be used if the Company or its designee reasonably objects
to such use within fifteen Business Days after receipt of such material.
4.4. The Fund and the Underwriter shall not give any information or
make any representations on behalf of the Company or concerning the Company,
each Account, or the Contracts other than the information or representations
contained in a registration statement or prospectus for the Contracts, as such
registration statement and prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time
to time, or in published reports for each Account which are in the public domain
or approved by the Company for distribution to Contract owners, or in sales

designee, except with the permission of the Company.
4.5. The Fund will provide to the Company at least one complete copy

ARTICLE V. Fees and Expenses
-----------------
5.1. The Fund and Underwriter shall pay no fee or other compensation
to the Company under this agreement, except that if the Fund or any Portfolio
adopts and implements a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
expenses, then the Underwriter may make payments to the Company or to the
underwriter for the Contracts if and in amounts agreed to by the Underwriter in
writing and such payments will be made out of existing fees otherwise payable to
the Underwriter, past profits of the Underwriter or other resources available to
the Underwriter. No such payments shall be made directly by the Fund.
Currently, no such payments are contemplated.
5.2. All expenses incident to performance by the Fund under this
Agreement shall be paid by the Fund. The Fund shall see to it that all its
shares are registered and authorized for issuance in accordance with applicable
federal law and, if and to the extent deemed advisable by the Fund, in

5.3. The Company shall bear the expenses of distributing the Fund's
prospectus, proxy materials and reports to owners of Contracts issued by the
Company.
ARTICLE VI. Diversification
---------------
6.1. The Fund will at all times invest money from the Contracts in
such a manner as to ensure that the Contracts will be treated as variable
contracts under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. Without
limiting the scope of the foregoing, the Fund will at all times comply with
Section 817(h) of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.817-5, relating to the
diversification requirements for variable annuity, endowment, or life insurance
contracts and any amendments or other modifications to such Section or
Regulations. In the event of a breach of this Article VI by the Fund, it will
take all reasonable steps (a) to notify Company of such breach and (b) to
adequately diversify the Fund so as to achieve compliance with the grace period
afforded by Regulation 1.817-5.
ARTICLE VII. Potential Conflicts
-------------------
7.1. The Board will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material
irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the contract owners of all
separate accounts investing in the Fund. An irreconcilable material conflict
may arise for a variety of reasons, including: (a) an action by any state
insurance regulatory authority; (b) a change in applicable federal or state
insurance, tax, or securities laws or regulations, or a public ruling, private
letter ruling, no-action or interpretative letter, or any similar action by
insurance, tax, or securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or
judicial decision in any relevant proceeding; (d) the manner in which the
investments of any Portfolio are being managed; (e) a difference in voting
instructions given by variable annuity contract and variable life insurance
contract owners; or (f) a decision by an insurer to disregard the voting
instructions of contract owners. The Board shall promptly inform the Company if
it determines that an irreconcilable material conflict exists and the
implications thereof.
7.2. The Company will report any potential or existing conflicts of
which it is aware to the Board. The Company will assist the Board in carrying
out its responsibilities under the Shared Funding Exemptive Order, by providing
the Board with all information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider
any issues raised. This includes, but is not limited to, an obligation by the
Company to inform the Board whenever contract owner voting instructions are
disregarded.
7.3. If it is determined by a majority of the Board, or a majority of
its disinterested trustees, that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the
Company and other Participating Insurance Companies shall, at their expense and
to the extent reasonably practicable (as determined by a majority of the
disinterested trustees), take whatever steps are necessary to remedy or
eliminate the irreconcilable material conflict, up to and including: (1),
withdrawing
10
<PAGE>
the assets allocable to some or all of the separate accounts from the
Fund or any Portfolio and reinvesting such assets in a different investment
medium, including (but not limited to) another Portfolio of the Fund, or
submitting the question whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote
of all affected Contract owners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of
any appropriate group (i.e., annuity contract owners, life insurance contract
----
owners, or variable contract owners of one or more Participating Insurance
Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation, or offering to the affected
contract owners the option of making such a change; and (2), establishing a new
registered management investment company or managed separate account, provided,
however, that the Company shall have the right to choose which course of action
is appropriate if more than one is available to remedy the problem.
7.4. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of a
decision by the Company to disregard contract owner voting instructions and that
decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote, the
Company may be required, at the Fund's election, to withdraw the affected
Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with respect to
such Account; provided, however that such withdrawal and termination shall be
limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable conflict
as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Any such
withdrawal and termination must take place within six (6) months after the Fund
gives written notice that this provision is being implemented, and until the end
of that six month period the Underwriter and Fund shall continue to accept and
implement orders by the Company for the purchase (and redemption) of shares of
the Fund.
7.5. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular
state insurance regulator's decision applicable to the Company conflicts with
the majority of other state regulators, then the Company will withdraw the
affected Account's investment in the Fund and terminate this Agreement with
respect to such Account within six months after the Board informs the Company in
writing that it has determined that such decision has created an irreconcilable
material conflict; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall
be limited to the extent required by the foregoing material irreconcilable
conflict as determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board.
Until the end of the foregoing six month period, the Underwriter and Fund shall
continue to accept and implement orders by the Company for the purchase (and
redemption) of shares of the Fund.
7.6. For purposes of Sections 7.3 through 7.6 of this Agreement, a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board shall determine whether any
proposed action adequately remedies any irreconcilable material conflict, but in
no event will the Fund be required to establish a new funding medium for the
Contracts. The Company shall not be required by Section 7.3 to establish a new
funding medium for the Contracts if an offer to do so has been declined by vote
of a majority of Contract owners materially adversely affected by the
irreconcilable material conflict. In the event that the Board determines that
any proposed action does not adequately remedy any irreconcilable material
conflict, then the Company will withdraw the Account's investment in the Fund
and terminate this Agreement within six (6) months after the Board informs the
Company in writing of the foregoing determination, provided, however, that such
withdrawal and termination shall be limited to the extent required
11
<PAGE>
by any such material irreconcilable conflict as determined by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board.
7.7. If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule 6e-3(T) are amended,
or Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the
Act or the rules promulgated thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding
(as defined in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions
materially different from those contained in the Shared Funding Exemptive Order,
then (a) the Fund and/or the Participating Insurance Companies, as appropriate,
shall take such steps as may be necessary to comply with Rules 6e-2 and 6e-3(T),
as amended, and Rule 6e-3, as adopted, to the extent such rules are applicable;
and (b) Sections 3.4, 3.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 of this Agreement shall
continue in effect only to the extent that terms and conditions substantially
identical to such Sections are contained in such Rule(s) as so amended or
adopted.

"Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.1) against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with
the written consent of the Company) or litigation (including legal and other
expenses), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any
statute, regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,

are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund's shares or the Contracts
and:
(i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or alleged
untrue statements of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or prospectus for the Contracts or contained in the Contracts
or sales literature for the Contracts (or any amendment or supplement
to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, provided that this agreement to indemnify shall
not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or
such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
the Fund for use in the Registration Statement or prospectus for the
Contracts or in the Contracts or sales literature (or any amendment or
supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the
Contracts or Fund shares or approved by the Fund or its designee under
Section 4.1 hereof; or
12
<PAGE>
(ii) arise out of or as a result of statements or representations
(other than statements or representations contained in the Registration

therein not misleading if such a statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Fund
by or on behalf of the Company; or
(iv) arise as a result of any failure by the Company to provide the
services and furnish the materials under the terms of this Agreement;
or
(v) arise out of or result from any material breach of any
representation and/or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or

duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party's reckless disregard of
obligations or duties under this Agreement or to the Fund, whichever is

process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been
served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party
shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent),
but failure to notify the Company of any such claim shall not relieve
the Company from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified
Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of
this indemnification provision. In case any such action is brought
against the Indemnified Parties, the Company shall be entitled to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such action. The
Company also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice
from the Company to such party of the Company's election to assume the
defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses
of any additional counsel
13

retained by it, and the Company will not be liable to such party under
this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such party independently in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation. The Indemnified Parties shall
not settle or otherwise compromise any claim for which indemnification
may be sought from the Company without the Company's prior written
consent.
8.1(d). The Indemnified Parties will promptly notify the Company of

(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this Section 8.2)
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid

Redemption. Furthermore, except in cases where permitted under the terms of the
Contracts, the Company shall not prevent Contract Owners from allocating
payments to a Portfolio that was otherwise available under the Contracts without
first giving the Fund or the Underwriter 90 days notice of its intention to do

SCHEDULE B
PROXY VOTING PROCEDURE
The following is a list of procedures and corresponding responsibilities for the
handling of proxies relating to the Fund by the Underwriter, the Fund and the
Company. The defined terms herein shall have the meanings assigned in the
Participation Agreement except that the term "Company" shall also include the
department or third party assigned by the Insurance Company to perform the steps
delineated below.
1. The number of proxy proposals is given to the Company by the Underwriter as
early as possible before the date set by the Fund for the shareholder
meeting to facilitate the establishment of tabulation procedures. At this
time the Underwriter will inform the Company of the Record, Mailing and
Meeting dates. This will be done verbally approximately two months before
meeting.
2. Promptly after the Record Date, the Company will perform a "tape run", or
other activity, which will generate the names, addresses and number of units
which are attributed to each contractowner/policyholder (the "Customer") as
of the Record Date. Allowance should be made for account adjustments made
after this date that could affect the status of the Customers' accounts as
of the Record Date.
Note: The number of proxy statements is determined by the activities
described in Step #2. The Company will use its best efforts to call in the
number of Customers to Fidelity, as soon as possible, but no later than two
weeks after the Record Date.
3. The Fund's Annual Report no longer needs to be sent to each Customer by the
Company either before or together with the Customers' receipt of a proxy
statement. Underwriter will provide the last Annual Report to the Company
pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3 of the Agreement to which this Schedule
relates.
4. The text and format for the Voting Instruction Cards ("Cards" or "Card") is
provided to the Company by the Fund. The Company, at its expense, shall
produce and personalize the Voting Instruction Cards. The Legal Department
of the Underwriter or its affiliate ("Fidelity Legal") must approve the Card
before it is printed. Allow approximately 2-4 business days for printing
information on the Cards. Information commonly found on the Cards includes:
a. name (legal name as found on account registration)
b. address
c. Fund or account number
d. coding to state number of units
e. individual Card number for use in tracking and verification of votes
(already on Cards as printed by the Fund)
(This and related steps may occur later in the chronological process due to
possible uncertainties relating to the proposals.)

<PAGE>
5. During this time, Fidelity Legal will develop, produce, and the Fund will
pay for the Notice of Proxy and the Proxy Statement (one document). Printed
and folded notices and statements will be sent to Company for insertion into
envelopes (envelopes and return envelopes are provided and paid for by the
Insurance Company). Contents of envelope sent to Customers by Company will
include:
a. Voting Instruction Card(s)
b. One proxy notice and statement (one document)
c. return envelope (postage pre-paid by Company) addressed to the
Company or its tabulation agent
d. "urge buckslip" - optional, but recommended. (This is a small,
single sheet of paper that requests Customers to vote as quickly
as possible and that their vote is important. One copy will be
supplied by the Fund.)
e. cover letter - optional, supplied by Company and reviewed and
approved in advance by Fidelity Legal as to references to the
Fund, the Underwriter or any affiliate of either.
6. The above contents should be received by the Company approximately 3-5
business days before mail date. Individual in charge at Company reviews and
approves the contents of the mailing package to ensure correctness and
completeness. Copy of this approval sent to Fidelity Legal.
7. Package mailed by the Company.
* The Fund must allow at least a 15-day solicitation time to the Company
----
as the shareowner. (A 5-week period is recommended.) Solicitation
time is calculated as calendar days from (but not including) the
---
meeting, counting backwards.
8. Collection and tabulation of Cards begins. Tabulation usually takes place
in another department or another vendor depending on process used. An often
used procedure is to sort Cards on arrival by proposal into vote categories
of all yes, no, or mixed replies, and to begin data entry.
Note: Postmarks are not generally needed. A need for postmark information
would be due to an insurance company's internal procedure and has not been
required by Fidelity in the past.
9. Signatures on Card checked against legal name on account registration which
was printed on the Card.
Note: For Example, If the account registration is under "Bertram C. Jones,
Trustee," then that is the exact legal name to be printed on the Card and is
the signature needed on the Card.

10. If Cards are mutilated, or for any reason are illegible or are not signed
properly, they are sent back to Customer with an explanatory letter, a new
Card and return envelope. The mutilated or illegible Card is disregarded
and considered to be not received for purposes of vote tabulation. Any
--- --------
Cards that have "kicked out" (e.g. mutilated, illegible) of the procedure
are "hand verified," i.e., examined as to why they did not complete the
system. Any questions on those Cards are usually remedied individually.
11. There are various control procedures used to ensure proper tabulation of
votes and accuracy of that tabulation. The most prevalent is to sort the
Cards as they first arrive into categories depending upon their vote; an
estimate of how the vote is progressing may then be calculated. If the
initial estimates and the actual vote do not coincide, then an internal
audit of that vote should occur. This may entail a recount.
12. The actual tabulation of votes is done in units which is then converted to
shares. (It is very important that the Fund receives the tabulations stated
in terms of a percentage and the number of shares.) Fidelity Legal must
------
review and approve tabulation format.
13. Final tabulation in shares is verbally given by the Company to Fidelity
Legal on the morning of the meeting not later than 10:00 a.m. Boston time.
Fidelity Legal may request an earlier deadline if required to calculate the
vote in time for the meeting.
14. A Certification of Mailing and Authorization to Vote Shares will be required
from the Company as well as an original copy of the final vote. Fidelity
Legal will provide a standard form for each Certification.
15. The Company will be required to box and archive the Cards received from the
Customers. In the event that any vote is challenged or if otherwise
necessary for legal, regulatory, or accounting purposes, Fidelity Legal will
be permitted reasonable access to such Cards.
16. All approvals and "signing-off" may be done orally, but must always be
followed up in writing.
