12. The section 26 Applicants propose the Substitutions as part of a continued and overall business plan by each Insurance Company to make its Contracts more attractive to existing Contract owners, participants or prospective purchasers, as the case may be, and more efficient to administer and oversee. Each Insurance Company represents that it has carefully reviewed its Contracts and each investment option offered under its Contracts with the goal of providing a superior choice of investment options.

13. Among the principal purposes of the Substitutions, the section 26 Applicants assert that the Removed Portfolios generally have not attracted sufficient Contract owner or participant interest to support maintaining them as separate investment options under the Contracts, particularly where they duplicate or substantially overlap with other investment options offered through the Separate Accounts. As of December 31, 2006, the Separate Accounts had allocated approximately the following amounts to the Removed and Replacement Portfolios:

Substitution number—Removed portfolios (in millions)	Replacement portfolios (in millions)
1. Old Mutual Select Value Portfolio ($8.0)	EQ/AllianceBernstein Value Portfolio ($4,279.0).
2. Universal Value Portfolio ($13.2)
3. OpCap Managed Portfolio ($9.9)
4. Davis Value Portfolio ($1.3)
5. T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio ($26.8)	EQ/Boston Advisors Equity Income Portfolio ($357.0).
6. AIM V.I. Basic Value Equity Fund ($19.5)	EQ/BlackRock Basic Value Equity Portfolio ($3,600.0).
7. Dreyfus Appreciation Portfolio ($1.0)	EQ/AllianceBernstein Common Stock Portfolio ($9,279.0).
8. Fidelity Growth Opportunities Portfolio ($9.6)	EQ/Capital Guardian Research Portfolio ($1,056.0).
9. OpCap Equity Portfolio ($1.5)
10. Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA ($11.5)
11. AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund ($9.7)	EQ/FI Mid Cap Portfolio ($1,552.0).
12. Alger American MidCap Growth Portfolio ($37.7)	EQ/Van Kampen Mid Cap Growth Portfolio ($138.0).
13. MFS Mid Cap Growth Series ($6.4)
14. Dreyfus Small Cap Stock Index Portfolio ($10.3)	EQ/Small Company Index Portfolio ($1,056.0).
15. OpCap Small Cap Portfolio ($1.2)
16. MFS New Discovery Series ($6.6)	EQ/AllianceBernstein Small Cap Growth Portfolio ($1,201.0).
17. Janus Flexible Bond Portfolio ($23.8)	EQ/JPMorgan Core Bond Portfolio ($1,557.0).
18. PIMCO Total Return Portfolio ($0.6)
19. Universal Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio ($14.5)
20. OpCap Renaissance Portfolio ($20.2)	EQ/Lord Abbett Mid Cap Value Portfolio ($320.0).
21. T. Rowe Price New America Growth Portfolio ($7.3)	EQ/Capital Guardian Growth Portfolio ($402.0).
22. Universal U.S. Real Estate Portfolio (Class I and Class II shares) (Not Provided)	EQ/Van Kampen Real Estate Portfolio (Class IA and Class IB shares) (Not Provided).
23. Alger American Balanced Portfolio ($14.9)	Franklin Income Securities Fund ($39.3).
24. MFS Total Return Series ($30.5)
25. T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Balanced Portfolio ($2.7)
26. Fidelity Growth Portfolio ($38.3)	Fidelity Contrafund Portfolio ($73.2).
27. Universal Equity Growth Portfolio ($0.1)

14. The section 26 Applicants also maintain that substituting the Replacement Portfolios for the Removed Portfolios would lead to greater efficiencies in administering the Contracts and potentially enable the Insurance Companies to offer a wider range of investment options in the future that would be more attractive to Contract owners and participants. In this connection, the section 26 Applicants note that the deletion of unpopular investment options would create additional capacity on their systems and platforms to offer new investment options.

15. The section 26 Applicants further assert that the Substitutions also are designed and intended to simplify the prospectuses and related materials with respect to the Contracts and the investment options available through the Separate Accounts. In certain cases, the Insurance Companies offer several investment alternatives that overlap one another by having similar investment objectives, policies and risks. The proposed Substitutions would eliminate these overlapping investment alternatives. The section 26 Applicants believe that the deletion of overlapping investment options should not adversely affect Contract owners and participants given that other similar investment options will remain available under the Contracts and that the Contracts will either offer the same number of investment options or, in those cases where the number of investment options is being reduced, continue to offer a significant number of alternative investment options (currently expected to range in number from 27 to 51 after the Substitutions versus 28 to 57 before the Substitutions).

16. In addition, some Contracts offer investment alternatives from multiple fund complexes, each with its own prospectus and disclosure format, which significantly increases the volume and complexity of information that is received by Contract owners and participants. The Insurance Companies believe that this situation may be confusing to Contract owners and participants. By substituting the Replacement Portfolios for the Removed Portfolios, the respective Insurance Company anticipates that it would simplify the Contract prospectuses and related materials provided to Contract owners and participants and thereby reduce the potential for Contract owner and participant confusion. The section 26 Applicants also assert that the Substitutions will enable an Insurance Company to reduce certain costs that it incurs in administering the Contracts by removing overlapping and unpopular Portfolios and thereby allowing an Insurance Company to offer more competitively priced products in the future.

17. The section 26 Applicants note that Contract owners and participants with subaccount balances invested in shares of the Replacement Portfolios will have the same or lower net operating expenses immediately after the Substitutions. In addition, the Insurance Companies have agreed to impose certain expense limits on Replacement Portfolios to ensure that Contract owners and participants on the Substitution Date incur the same or lower expense ratios for certain periods after the Substitutions. In addition, many of the Replacement Portfolios are larger than their corresponding Removed Portfolios. Generally speaking, larger funds tend to have lower expenses than comparable funds that are smaller. This is because, with a larger asset size, fixed fund expenses are spread over a larger base, lowering the expense ratios. Therefore, as a result of certain Substitutions, various costs such as legal, accounting, printing and trustee fees will be spread over a larger base with each Contract owner and participant bearing a smaller portion of the cost than would be the case if the Replacement Portfolios and/or the Trust (as applicable) were smaller in size. Larger funds also may have lower trading expenses, potentially resulting in higher returns.

18. The section 26 Applicants also argue that certain of the proposed Substitutions would replace an outside Portfolio with a Portfolio for which AXA Equitable serves as Manager and, thus, would permit AXA Equitable, under the Multi-Manager Order, to appoint, dismiss and replace Advisers and amend Advisory Agreements as necessary to seek optimal performance from the Portfolio and its portfolio managers. Notwithstanding the Multi-Manager Order, with respect to the Substitution involving the EQ/Van Kampen Real Estate Portfolio, after the Substitution Date (as defined herein), the Section 26 Applicants agree not to change the Adviser to the EQ/Van Kampen Real Estate Portfolio without first obtaining shareholder approval of either (a) the Adviser change or (b) AXA Equitable's continued ability to rely on the Multi-Manager Order. Even with respect to this Substitution, the section 26 Applicants believe that the Substitution would provide AXA Equitable, as the investment manager of the Trust, with greater oversight capabilities with respect to portfolios offered through its Contracts.

19. Moreover, certain of the Substitutions will replace an outside Portfolio with a Portfolio that is managed by AXA Equitable. In this regard, the relevant Replacement Portfolios generally are only available through the variable insurance and annuity products offered by AXA Equitable and its affiliates. Consequently, the Board of Trustees of the relevant Replacement Portfolios has greater sensitivity to the needs of Contract owners and participants. The relevant Substitutions also will provide AXA Equitable with more influence over the administrative aspects of the Portfolios, while providing Contract owners and participants with the benefit of third party asset management. Influence is important because changes to Removed Portfolios can result in costly, off-cycle communications and mailings to Contract owners and participants. Conversely, for the relevant Replacement Portfolios, AXA Equitable has greater influence over the pace and timing of such changes. AXA Equitable believes that the relevant Substitutions will enable it to exercise more influence over the management and administration of the Portfolios, thereby reducing costs and customer confusion. The added influence will give AXA Equitable the ability to react more quickly to changes and problems it encounters in its oversight of the relevant Replacement Portfolios.

20. The section 26 Applicants also maintain that the Substitutions will substitute shares of a Replacement Portfolio for shares of a Removed Portfolio, which has very similar, and in some cases substantially similar, investment objectives, investment policies and risks as those of the corresponding Removed Portfolio. This fact is expected to simplify the process of explaining the Substitutions to Contract owners and participants, including an explanation of the relevant differences in the policies of the Replacement and Removed Portfolios, and should facilitate their understanding of the effect of the Substitutions on them. A summary description of the investment objectives, investment policies and principal risks of each Removed Portfolio and its corresponding proposed Replacement Portfolio is set forth below.

The section 26 Applicants note that the Initial Class shares of the Replacement Portfolio have adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, while Class I shares of the Removed Portfolio are not subject to such a plan.

87 The Manager of the Replacement Portfolio has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that the total operating expenses of Initial shares exceed 0.85%.

As of December 31, 2006, the assets of the Replacement Portfolio were approximately $21 billion, while the assets of the Removed Portfolio were approximately $150 million.

22. The section 26 Applicants currently expect that the proposed Substitutions will be carried out on or about August 17, 2007 or as soon as reasonably practical thereafter (“Substitution Date”) and by supplements to the prospectuses for the Contracts and Separate Accounts, which were delivered to Contract owners and participants at least thirty (30) days before the Substitutions, each Insurance Company has notified all Contract owners and participants of its intention to take the necessary actions, including seeking the order requested by the application, to substitute shares of the Replacement Portfolios for the Removed Portfolios as described herein. The supplements advised Contract owners and participants that from the date of the supplement until the date of the proposed Substitutions, Contract owners and participants are permitted to make transfers of Contract value (or annuity unit value) out of each Removed Portfolio subaccount to one or more other subaccounts without the transfers (or exchanges) being treated as one of a limited number of permitted transfers (or exchanges) or a limited number of transfers (or exchanges) permitted without a transfer charge, as applicable. The supplements also informed Contract owners and participants that the Insurance Companies will not exercise any rights reserved under any Contract to impose additional restrictions on transfers until at least 30 days after each proposed Substitution.^[88] The supplements also advised Contract owners and participants how to provide instructions on reallocating Contract value in light of the proposed Substitutions.

23. In addition, the supplements advised Contract owners and participants that any Contract value remaining in a Removed Portfolio subaccount on the Substitution Date will be transferred to the corresponding Replacement Portfolio subaccount and that the Substitutions will take place at relative net asset value. The supplements also advised Contract owners and participants that for at least 30 days following each proposed Substitution, the Insurance Companies will permit Contract owners and participants to make transfers of Contract value (or annuity unit value) out of each Replacement Portfolio subaccount to one or more other subaccounts without the transfers (or exchanges) being treated as one of a limited number of permitted transfers (or exchanges) or a limited number of transfers (or exchanges) permitted without a transfer charge, as applicable.

24. Each Insurance Company has sent or will send Contract owners and participants prospectuses for the relevant Replacement Portfolios prior to the Substitutions. The section 26 Applicants will send the appropriate prospectus supplement (or other notice, in the case of Contracts no longer actively marketed and for which there are a relatively small number of existing Contract owners or participants), containing this disclosure to all existing Contract owners and participants. Prospective purchasers and new purchasers of Contracts will be provided with a Contract prospectus and the supplement containing disclosure regarding the Substitutions, as well as a prospectus and/or supplement for the Replacement Portfolios. The Contract prospectus and the supplement and the prospectus and/or supplement for the Replacement Portfolios will be delivered to purchasers of new Contracts in accordance with all applicable legal requirements.

25. In addition to the prospectus supplements distributed to Contract owners and participants, within five business days after the proposed Substitutions are completed, Contract owners and participants will be sent a written notice of the Substitutions informing them that each Substitution was carried out and that they may transfer all Contract value or cash value under a Contract invested in any one of the subaccounts on the date of the notice to one or more other subaccounts available under their Contract at no cost and without regard to the usual limit on the frequency of transfers among the variable account options. The notice will also reiterate that (other than with respect to implementing policies and procedures designed to prevent disruptive transfers and other market timing activity) each Insurance Company will not exercise any rights reserved by it under the Contracts to impose additional restrictions on transfers or, to the extent transfer charges apply to a Contract, to impose any charges on transfers until at least 30 days after each proposed Substitution. The Insurance Companies will also send each Contract owner and participant a current prospectus for each of the relevant Replacement Portfolios to the extent they have not previously received a current version.

26. Each Insurance Company also is seeking approval of the proposed Substitutions from any state insurance regulators whose approval may be necessary or appropriate. The proposed Substitutions will take place at relative net asset value determined on the date of the Substitutions pursuant to Section 22 of the 1940 Act and Rule 22c-1 thereunder with no change in the amount of any Contract owner's or participant's Contract value, cash value, or death benefit or in the dollar value of his or her investment in the Separate Accounts. Each Substitution will be effected by redeeming shares of the Removed Portfolio in cash and/or in-kind on the Substitution Date at their net asset value and using the proceeds of those redemptions to purchase shares of the Replacement Portfolio at their net asset value on the same date. All in-kind redemptions from a Removed Portfolio of which any of the Applicants is an affiliated person will be effected in accordance with the conditions set forth in the no-action letter issued by the staff of the Commission to Signature Financial Group, Inc. (Dec. 28, 1999).

27. Moreover, the section 26 Applicants state that Contract owners and participants will not incur any fees or charges as a result of the proposed Substitutions, nor will their rights or insurance benefits or the Insurance Companies' obligations under the Contracts be altered in any way. Consequently, all expenses incurred in connection with the proposed Substitutions, including any brokerage, legal, accounting, and other fees and expenses, will be paid by the Insurance Companies. In addition, the proposed Substitutions will not impose any tax liability on Contract owners or participants. The proposed Substitutions will not cause the Contract fees and charges currently being paid by Contract owners and participants to be greater after the proposed Substitutions than before the proposed Substitutions. All Contract-level fees will remain the same after the proposed Substitutions. No fees will be charged on the transfers made at the time of the proposed Substitutions because each proposed Substitution will not be treated as a transfer for purposes of assessing transfer charges or computing the number of permissible transfers under the Contracts.

28. With respect to the Substitutions involving the Old Mutual Select Value Portfolio, OpCap Managed Portfolio, Davis Value Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio, Dreyfus Appreciation Portfolio (Initial shares), OpCap Equity Portfolio, Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA (Service shares), AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Portfolio (Series I shares), Alger American MidCap Growth Portfolio (Class O shares), MFS Mid Cap Growth Series (Initial Class shares), Dreyfus Small Cap Stock Index Portfolio (Service shares), OpCap Small Cap Portfolio, MFS New Discovery Series (Initial Class shares), Janus Flexible Bond Portfolio (Institutional and Service shares), OpCap Renaissance Portfolio, and the T. Rowe Price New America Growth Portfolio, the section 26 Applicants represent that, with respect to those who were Contract owners or participants on the date of the proposed Substitutions, the Insurance Companies will reimburse, on the last business day of each fiscal period (not to exceed a fiscal quarter) during the two years following the date of the proposed Substitution, the subaccounts investing in the applicable Replacement Portfolio such that the sum of the Replacement Portfolio's net operating expense ratio (taking into account any expense waivers or reimbursements) and subaccount expense ratio (asset-based fees and charges deducted on a daily basis from subaccount assets and reflected in the calculations of subaccount unit value) for such period will not exceed, on an annualized basis, the sum of the corresponding Removed Portfolio's net operating expense ratio (taking into account any expense waivers or reimbursements) and subaccount expense ratio for fiscal year 2006.

29. With respect to the Substitutions involving the Universal Value Portfolio (Class I shares), AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund (Series I shares), Fidelity Growth Opportunities Portfolio (Initial Class and Service Class shares), PIMCO Total Return Portfolio (Administrative shares), Universal Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio (Class I shares), and the Universal U.S. Real Estate Portfolio (Class I and Class II shares), the Section 26 Applicants represent that, with respect to those who were Contract owners or participants on the date of the proposed Substitutions, at no time after the date of the Substitution will the Insurance Companies increase Contract charges or total Separate Account charges (net of any waiver or reimbursements) of the subaccounts that invest in the applicable Replacement Portfolio. If the net operating expenses for the applicable Replacement Portfolio (taking into account any expense waivers or reimbursements) for any fiscal quarter following the date of the Substitution exceed on an annualized basis the net expense ratio for the corresponding Removed Portfolio for fiscal year 2006, the Insurance Companies will reimburse the Separate Account expenses paid during that quarter of the subaccount that invests in the applicable Replacement Portfolio to the extent necessary to offset the amount by which that Replacement Portfolio's net expense ratio for such period exceeds, on an annualized basis, that of the corresponding Removed Portfolio.

30. The section 26 Applicants also agree that, with respect to shares issued in connection with the proposed Substitution involving the Universal U.S. Real Estate Portfolio, the Rule 12b-1 fees for the Replacement Portfolio's Class IB shares will not be raised above the Removed Portfolio's Class II shares maximum Rule 12b-1 fee (0.35%) without first obtaining shareholder approval.^[89]

31. In addition, the section 26 Applicants further agree that with respect to the Substitutions involving the Alger American Balanced Portfolio (Class O shares), MFS Total Return Series (Initial Class shares), T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Balanced Portfolio, Fidelity Growth Portfolio (Initial Class and Service Class shares), and the Universal Equity Growth Portfolio (Class I shares), the Insurance Companies will not increase total separate account charges with respect to the corresponding Replacement Portfolio sub-accounts for any outstanding Contracts on the date of the Substitutions for a period of two years from the date of the Substitutions.

32. Moreover, the section 26 Applicants agree that, with respect to the Substitutions involving the Alger American Balanced Portfolio (Class O shares), MFS Total Return Series (Initial Class shares), and the T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Balanced Portfolio, to the extent that the annualized expense ratio of each applicable Replacement Portfolio exceeds, for each fiscal period (not to exceed a fiscal quarter) during the two years following the date of the proposed Substitutions, the net expense ratio of the corresponding Removed Portfolio for fiscal year 2006, the Insurance Companies will, for each Contract outstanding on the date of the proposed Substitutions, reimburse, on the last business day of each fiscal period (not to exceed a fiscal quarter) during the two years following the date of the proposed Substitution, the subaccounts investing in the Replacement Portfolio such that the sum of the Replacement Portfolio's net operating expense ratio (taking into account any expense waivers or reimbursements) and subaccount expense ratio (asset-based fees and charges deducted on a daily basis from subaccount assets and reflected in the calculations of subaccount unit value) for such period will not exceed, on an annualized basis, the sum of the Removed Portfolio's net operating expense ratio (taking into account any expense waivers or reimbursements) and subaccount expense ratio for fiscal year 2006.

33. In addition, with respect to the Substitutions involving the Fidelity Growth Portfolio (Initial Class and Service Class shares), and the Universal Equity Growth Portfolio (Class I shares), the Section 26 Applicants agree that, in connection with assets held under Contracts affected by the Substitutions, the Insurance Companies will not receive, for three years from the date of the proposed Substitutions, any direct or indirect benefits from the relevant Replacement Portfolio, its advisers, or underwriters (or its affiliates) at a rate higher than that which they had received from the corresponding Removed Portfolios, their advisers, or underwriters (or their affiliates), including without limitation, 12b-1, shareholder service, administration or other service fees, revenue sharing or other arrangements in connection with such assets. The Insurance Companies also represent that the proposed Substitutions and the selection of the relevant Replacement Portfolio were not motivated by any financial consideration paid or to be paid to the Insurance Companies or their affiliates by the relevant Replacement Portfolio, its advisers, underwriters or affiliates.

Applicants' Legal Analysis

1. Section 26(c) of the 1940 Act prohibits the depositor of a registered unit investment trust that invests in the securities of a single issuer from substituting the securities of another issuer without Commission approval. Section 26(c) provides that “[t]he Commission shall issue an order approving such substitution if the evidence establishes that it is consistent with the protection of investors and the purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of this title.”

2. The section 26 Applicants assert that the each proposed Substitution involves a substitution of securities within the meaning of section 26(c) of the 1940 Act and therefore request an order from the Commission pursuant to section 26(c) approving the proposed Substitutions.

3. The section 26 Applicants state they have reserved the right under the Contracts to substitute shares of another eligible investment fund for one of the current investment funds offered as a funding option under the Contracts both to protect themselves and their Contract owners and participants in situations where either might be harmed or disadvantaged by events affecting the issuer of the securities held by a Separate Account and to preserve the opportunity to replace such shares in situations where a substitution could benefit the Insurance Companies and their respective Contract owners and participants.

4. The section 26 Applicants also argue that each Replacement Portfolio and its corresponding Removed Portfolio have similar, and in some cases substantially similar or identical, investment objectives, policies and risks. In addition, each proposed Substitution retains for Contract owners and participants the investment flexibility that is a central feature of the Contracts. The section 26 Applicants assert that any impact on the investment programs of affected Contract owners and participants, including the appropriateness of the available investment options, should therefore be negligible.

5. The section 26 Applicants further assert that the ultimate effect of the Substitutions would be to remove overlapping and duplicative investment options and those investment options that have not attracted sufficient Contract owner or participant interest to support maintaining them as investment options under the Contracts. The Substitutions will permit the Insurance Companies to present information to their Contract owners and participants in a simpler and more concise manner, and it is anticipated that after the proposed Substitutions, Contract owners and participants will be provided with disclosure documents that contain a simpler presentation of the available investment options under their Contracts.

6. In addition, the section 26 Applicants also argue that in connection with each proposed Substitution, Contract owners and participants with subaccount balances invested in a Replacement Portfolio will have the same or lower net operating expense ratio(s) after the Substitution. In this regard, each Insurance Company has agreed to impose certain expense limits, as discussed above, to ensure that Contract owners and participants do not incur higher expenses as a result of a Substitution either for a period of two years after the Substitution or for the life of the Contract, as applicable.

7. In addition to the foregoing, the section 26 Applicants generally submit that each proposed Substitution meets the standards that the Commission and its staff have applied to similar substitutions that the Commission previously has approved. The section 26 Applicants also submit that the proposed Substitutions are not of the type that section 26(c) was designed to prevent as the Contracts provide each Contract owner or participant with the right to exercise his or her own judgment, and transfer Contract values and cash values into and among other investment options available to Contract owners or participants under their Contracts. Additionally, the Substitutions will not, in any manner, reduce the nature or quality of the available investment options. In this regard, the proposed Substitutions retain for Contract owners and participants the investment flexibility which is a central feature of the Contracts.

8. Moreover, the section 26 Applicants will offer Contract owners and participants the opportunity to transfer amounts out of the affected subaccounts without any cost or other penalty (other than with respect to implementing policies and procedures designed to prevent disruptive transfer and other market timing activity) that may otherwise have been imposed for a period beginning on the date of the supplement notifying Contract owners and participants of the proposed Substitutions (which supplement has been delivered to Contract owners and participants at least thirty (30) days before the Substitutions) and ending no earlier than thirty (30) days after the proposed Substitutions. The Substitutions, therefore, will not result in the type of costly forced redemption that section 26(c) was designed to prevent.

9. The section 26 Applicants also note that the proposed Substitutions are also unlike the type of substitution that section 26(c) was designed to prevent in that by purchasing a Contract or participating in a group Contract, Contract owners and participants select much more than a particular underlying fund in which to invest their Contract values. They also select the specific type of insurance coverage offered by the section 26 Applicants under the applicable Contract, as well as numerous other rights and privileges set forth in the Contract. Contract owners and participants also may have considered the Insurance Company's size, financial condition, and its reputation for service in selecting their Contract. These factors will not change as a result of the proposed Substitutions, nor will the annuity, life or tax benefits afforded under the Contracts held by any of the affected Contract owners or participants.

10. Section 17(a)(1) of the 1940 Act, in relevant part, prohibits any affiliated person of a registered investment company, or any affiliated person of such a person, acting as principal, from knowingly selling any security or other property to that company. Section 17(a)(2) of the 1940 Act generally prohibits the same persons, acting as principals, from knowingly purchasing any security or other property from the registered investment company.

11. Section 17(b) of the 1940 Act provides that the Commission may, upon application, issue an order exempting any proposed transaction from the provisions of Section 17(a) if: (i) the terms of the proposed transactions are reasonable and fair and do not involve overreaching on the part of any person concerned; (ii) the proposed transactions are consistent with the policy of each registered investment company concerned; and (iii) the proposed transactions are consistent with the general purposes of the 1940 Act.

12. The section 17 Applicants request an order pursuant to section 17(b) of the 1940 Act exempting them from the provisions of section 17(a) of the 1940 Act to the extent necessary to permit them to carry out the In-Kind Transactions in connection with the proposed Substitutions.

13. The section 17 Applicants submit that the terms of the proposed In-Kind Transactions, including the consideration to be paid and received, as described in the application, are reasonable and fair and do not involve overreaching on the part of any person concerned. The In-Kind Transactions will be effected at the respective net asset values of each of the relevant Removed Portfolios and each of the relevant Replacement Portfolios, as determined in accordance with the procedures disclosed in the registration statement for the relevant investment company and as required by Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act. The In-Kind Transactions will not change the dollar value of any Contract owner's or participant's investment in any of the Separate Accounts, the value of any Contract, the accumulation value or other value credited to any Contract, or the death benefit payable under any Contract. After the proposed In-Kind Transactions, the value of a Separate Account's investment in a Replacement Portfolio will equal the value of its investments in the corresponding Removed Portfolio (together with the value of any pre-existing investments in the Replacement Portfolio) before the In-Kind Transactions.

14. The section 17 Applicants state they will assure themselves that the In-Kind Transactions will be in substantial compliance with the conditions of Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. The section 17 Applicants will assure themselves that the investment companies will carry out the proposed In-Kind Transactions in conformity with the conditions of Rule 17a-7 (or, as applicable, a Removed Portfolio's and a Replacement Portfolio's normal valuation procedures, as set forth in the relevant investment company's registration statement), except that the consideration paid for the securities being purchased or sold will not be cash.

15. The section 17 Applicants also assert that the proposed In-Kind Transactions do not involve overreaching on the part of any person concerned. Furthermore, the section 17 Applicants represent that the proposed In-Kind Transactions will be consistent with the policies of the Removed and corresponding Replacement Portfolios, as recited in their respective current registration statements, and that the proposed In-Kind Transactions are consistent with the general purposes of the 1940 Act and do not present any conditions or abuses that the 1940 Act was designed to prevent.

Conclusion

For the reasons set forth in the application, the Applicants each respectively request that the Commission issue an order of approval pursuant to section 26(c) of the 1940 Act and an order of exemption pursuant to section 17(b) of the 1940 Act.

For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management, pursuant to delegated authority.

Florence E. Harmon,

Deputy Secretary.
