Control of Contract (see 1.03)

This is a Contract between the Contract Holder and the Company only to satisfy the purchase requirements of Code Section 403(b)(1). The Contract Holder has no right, title, or interest in the value of Individual Accounts established under the Contract.

 

Participants own all amounts held in their Individual Accounts and may make any choices allowed under the Contract.

 

The Contract and Individual Accounts are nontransferable and nonassignable except to us in the event of a loan (if allowed under the Contract) or in the event of a qualified domestic relations order as allowed under the Retirement Equity Act of 1984 (REA).

 

The Contract Holder must notify us in writing if the Plan is, or becomes, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and/or related law or regulations including REA. We will rely on the Contract Holder's determination and representation of the applicability of such laws. If the Plan is subject to ERISA, before we will make a distribution from an Individual Account, the Contract Holder must certify in writing that all applicable REA requirements have been met and that the distribution complies with the Plan.

Maintenance Fee (see 1.16)

The maintenance fee for each Individual Account is [$XX] as of the Effective Date of the Contract and is subject to change (see 1.18). The fee will never exceed [$30].
