Code Section 408(b) "IRA" Endorsement
 
 
This Endorsement is part of the Contract to which it is attached. The purpose of this Endorsement is to amend the 
Contract to meet the qualification requirements for an Individual Retirement Annuity under Code Section 408(b). The 
following provisions amend the terms of the Contract, and the terms of the Endorsement shall prevail in case of a conflict 
with the terms of the Contract. 
 
For purposes of this Endorsement, "Deposit" shall refer to either the term "Deposit" or "Contribution" as used in the 
Contract to which this Endorsement is attached. 
 
1.  Exclusive Benefit 
 
  The Contract is established for the exclusive benefit of you or your Beneficiary(ies). Joint Contract Owners are not 
  permitted under this Contract. 
 
2.  Annuitant 
 
  You are the Annuitant. You may not change the Annuitant. 
 
3.  Deposit Limits 
 
  (a)  Except in the case of a rollover (as permitted by Internal Revenue Code Sections 402(c), 402(e)(6), 
    403(a)(4), 403 (b)(8), 403 (b)(10), 408(d)(3) and 457(e)(16) or a contribution made in accordance with the 
    terms of a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) as described in Code Section 408(k), no Deposits will be 
    accepted unless they are in cash, and the total of such Deposits shall not exceed: 
 
             $4,000 for any taxable year in 2006 through 2007; and 
             $5,000 for any taxable year beginning in 2008 and years thereafter. 
 
    After 2008, the limit will be adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury for cost-of-living increases under Code 
    Section 219(b)(5)(c). Such adjustments will be in multiples of $500. 
 
    We will maintain source records for the crediting of IRA contributions. 
 
    Notwithstanding the Deposit Limits described in this section, Deposits must meet the Minimum Total Deposit 
    provision described in the Contract. 
 
    Deposits that exceed the limitations may either be refunded to the Contract Owner or applied to the following 
    calendar year's Deposit, as permitted by the Code and the Contract including, but not limited to, Section 3.01. 
    The Company assumes no responsibility for tax consequences that may result from excess contributions that 
    are not refunded to the Contract Owner. 
 
    Rollover contributions may include amounts attributable to pre-tax or post-tax contributions, or both. The 
    Contract shall not account for pre-tax and post-tax contributions separately. 
 
  (b)  In the case of an individual who is 50 years old or older, the annual cash contribution limit is increased by: 
 
             $1,000 for any taxable year beginning in 2006 and years thereafter. 
 
  (c)  No Deposits will be accepted under a SIMPLE IRA plan established by any employer pursuant to Code 
    Section 408(p). Also, no transfer or rollover of funds attributable to contributions made by a particular 
    employer under its SIMPLE IRA plan will be accepted from a SIMPLE IRA, that is, an IRA used in conjunction 
    with a SIMPLE IRA plan, prior to the expiration of the 2-year period beginning on the date the individual first 
    participated in that employer's SIMPLE IRA plan.

4.  Required Minimum Distributions 
 
  (a)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, the distribution of your interest in the IRA shall 
    be made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9), as amended, and the regulations 
    thereunder, the provisions of which are herein incorporated by reference. Unless you apply the Contract 
    Value to the Annuity Option or you elect to take a lump sum payment or you elect a Systematic Distribution 
    Option, the distribution of your interest in the IRA must satisfy the required minimum distribution rules below. 
 
  (b)  Required Minimum Distributions to You. The entire Current Value in the contract must be distributed, or 
    begin to be distributed, by your required beginning date, which is April 1 following the calendar year in which 
    you turn age 70 1/2. For each succeeding year, a distribution must be made on or before December 31. By 
    the required beginning date, you may elect to have the balance under the Contract distributed in one of the 
    following forms according to the terms of the Contract: 
 
    (1)  a lump sum payment; 
 
    (2)  equal or substantially equal payments over your life; 
 
    (3)  equal or substantially equal payments over the lives of you and your designated Beneficiary; 
 
    (4)  equal or substantially equal payments over a specified period that may not be longer than your life 
      expectancy; 
 
    (5)  equal or substantially equal payments over a specified period that may not be longer than the joint life 
      and last survivor expectancy of you and your designated Beneficiary. 
 
5.  Distributions Upon Death (When Death Occurs Before Annuity Payments Start) 
 
  (a)  Death On or After Required Distributions Commence. If you die on or after required distributions commence, 
    the remaining portion of your interest will continue to be distributed under the distribution option chosen. 
 
  (b)  Death Before Required Distributions Commence. If you die before required distributions commence, your 
    entire interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as follows: 
 
    (i)  If the designated beneficiary is someone other than your surviving spouse, the entire interest must be 
      distributed, starting by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death in equal or 
      substantially equal payments, over the remaining life expectancy of the designated beneficiary, with 
      such life expectancy determined using the age of the beneficiary as of his or her birthday in the year 
      following the year of your death, or, if elected, in accordance with paragraph (b)(iii) below. 
 
    (ii)  If your sole designated beneficiary is your surviving spouse, the entire interest will be distributed, 
      starting by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death (or by the end of the 
      calendar year in which you would have attained age 70 1/2, if later), over such spouse's life, or, if 
      elected, in accordance with paragraph (b)(iii) below. If the surviving spouse dies before required 
      distributions commence to him or her, the remaining interest will be distributed, starting by the end of 
      the calendar year following the calendar year of the spouse's death, over the spouse's designated 
      beneficiary's remaining life expectancy determined using such beneficiary's age as of his or her 
      birthday in the year following the death of the spouse, or, if elected, will be distributed in accordance 
      with paragraph (b)(iii) below. If the surviving spouse dies after required distributions commence to him 
      or her, any remaining interest will continue to be distributed under the contract option chosen. 
 
    (iii)  If there is no designated beneficiary, or if applicable by operation of paragraph (b)(i) or (b)(ii) above, the 
      entire interest must be distributed by the end of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of 
      your death (or of the spouse's death in the case of the surviving spouse's death before distributions are 
      required to begin under paragraph (b)(ii) above). 
 
 
 
 
E-IRA-06    2 



    (iv) Life expectancy is determined using the Single Life Table in Q&A-1 of Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the 
                 Income Tax Regulations. If distributions are being made to a surviving spouse as the sole designated 
                 beneficiary, such spouse's remaining life expectancy for a year is the number in the Single Life Table 
                 corresponding to such spouse's age in the year. In all other cases, remaining life expectancy for a year 
                 is the number in the Single Life Table corresponding to the beneficiary's age in the year specified in 
                 paragraph (b)(i) or (ii) and reduced by 1 for each subsequent year. 
 
  (c)  The "interest" in the IRA includes the amount of any outstanding rollover, transfer and recharacterizations 
    under Q&As-7 and -8 of Section 1.408-8 of the Income Tax Regulations and the actuarial value of any other 
    benefits provided under the IRA, such as guaranteed death benefits. 
 
  (d)  For purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, required distributions are considered to commence on your 
    required beginning date or, if applicable, on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving 
    spouse under paragraph (b)(ii) above. However, if distributions start prior to the applicable date in the 
    preceding sentence, on an irrevocable basis (except for acceleration) under an annuity contract meeting the 
    requirements of Section 1.401(a)(9)-6 of the Income Tax Regulations, then required distributions are 
    considered to commence on the annuity starting date. 
 
  (e)  If the sole designated beneficiary is your surviving spouse, the spouse may elect to treat the IRA as his or her 
    own IRA. This election will be deemed to have been made if such surviving spouse makes a contribution to 
    the IRA or fails to take required distributions as a beneficiary. 
 
6.  If you or your Beneficiary(ies) do not request commencement of benefits as described above, we will not be 
  responsible for compliance with the Code Section 401(a)(9) minimum distribution requirements and for any adverse 
  tax consequences that may result. 
 
7.  Multiple IRAs 
 
  You may satisfy the minimum distribution requirements described in this Endorsement by receiving a distribution 
  from one IRA that is equal to the amount required to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements for two or more 
  IRAs.   
 
8.  Nonforfeitable 
 
  The interest of the Contract Owner is nonforfeitable. 
 
9.  Nontransferable 
 
  This Contract is nontransferable by the Contract Owner. You may not assign this Contract. 
 
10.  Reports 
 
  We shall furnish annual calendar year reports concerning the status of the Contract and such information 
  concerning required minimum distributions as is prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
