                        PHOENIX LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY


         PHOENIX LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY (the "Company"), a Missouri
corporation, in order to change its domicile to Connecticut as permitted
pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes ss.38a-58a (the "Act"), certifies as
follows:

1.   The name of the Company is Phoenix Life and Annuity Company.

2.   The Company was incorporated in the State of Missouri on November 2, 1981,
     where it has remained to this date. Except pursuant to this certificate, to
     the best of our knowledge and belief the Company has never attempted to
     change its stated of domicile.

3.   At the time of incorporation, the Company's name was Kansas City Life and
     Annuity Company. By amendment on March 16, 1984 to its certificate of
     incorporation, the Company changed its name to Savers Life Insurance
     Company of America. By subsequent amendment on May 1, 1996, the Company
     changed kits name to Phoenix Life and Annuity Company. To the best of our
     knowledge and belief, the Company has had no other name than those three.

4.   The Insurance Department of the State of Missouri has approved the
     Company's request for a change in domicile to Connecticut.

5.   The Company's plan to redomesticate to Connecticut has been approved by the
     Company's Board of Directors and shareholders. No shares are required to be
     voted as a class; the shareholders' vote was as follows:

                       Votes Required for Adoption: 25,000
                         Votes Favoring Adoption: 25,000

6.   The Company hereby requests approval by the Commissioner of Insurance and
     by the Secretary of State of the State of Connecticut for the Company's
     redomestication to Connecticut pursuant to the Act.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this certificate as of the
24th date of March, 1997, through its undersigned officers, who hereby state
under penalties of false statement that the statements contained in this
Certificate are correct.
