Contract Schedule I
Accumulation Phase
Control of Contract (see 1.03)
 
  [The Contract is established under a Plan of the Contract Holder pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Code (the
  Plan).
 
  The Contract Holder controls the Contract. By notifying us in writing, the Contract Holder may allow you to
  choose Investment Options under the Contract for an Individual Account. The Contract Holder may, however,
  retain the right to choose Investment Options under the Contract to the extent allowed under applicable law.
  Unless otherwise provided by the Plan, we will make payments only at the written direction of the Contract
  Holder and you. The Contract is subject to the terms of the Plan, provided that the terms of the Plan do not
  expand the terms of the Contract and do not impose any responsibilities or duties on the Company greater
  than those set forth in the Contract.
 
  The Company shall rely upon the Contract Holder's representations regarding the contents of the applicable
  Plan document, except as otherwise agreed to by the Company. The Company shall rely upon instructions of
  the Contract Holder and/or its designee in permitting Contributions to and making distributions from the
  Contract (including distributions due to loans, annuity payouts, qualified domestic relations orders, hardship
  Withdrawals and systematic distributions options) in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
 
  Subject to the terms of the Plan, tax-free exchanges within the Plan and plan-to-plan transfers involving the
  Contract, including transfers to a governmental defined benefit plan to purchase permissive service credits
  within the meaning of Code Section 415(n), may be allowed to the extent permitted by law.
 
  To the extent provided for in the Treasury Regulations, the Contract Holder and/or its designee is responsible
  for sharing with the Company information that is necessary for the Company to administer the Contract in
  accordance with the terms of the Plan, Code and the Treasury Regulations, including information necessary
  for the Company to satisfy its withholding and information reporting obligations under the Code with respect to
  the Contract. Except to the extent otherwise agreed between the Company and the Contract Holder and/or
  its designee, the Company shall share with the Contract Holder and/or its designee information regarding the
  Contract that the Contract Holder and/or its designee requests for purposes of ensuring adherence to the
  terms of the Plan.
 
  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).
 
  You have a nonforfeitable right to the value of employer Contributions made to your Individual Accounts
  subject to any Plan vesting limits as determined by the Contract Holder. You have a nonforfeitable right to the
  value of employee Contributions made to your Individual Accounts as provided by Code Section 403(b) and
  subject to the terms of the Plan.
 
  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.]
 
Claims of Creditors (see 1.15)
 
  [Individual Accounts are not subject to the claim of any creditor of the Contract Holder, you or a beneficiary,
  except to the extent permitted by law.]
 
Maintenance Fee (see 1.16)
 
  [The maintenance fee for you under the Contract is [$XX] as of the Effective Date of the Contract and is
  subject to change. The fee will never exceed [$50] per year.
 
 
 
C-CDA-10 S I - 1



  The maintenance fee may vary (increase, decrease, or be eliminated) based on the total assets held in all
  Individual Accounts under the Contract. In determining total assets, we may aggregate Individual Accounts
  established under different Company Contracts. The aggregate amount is equal to the sum of assets in all
  Individual Accounts under the Contract, plus the value of Individual Accounts under other Company Contracts
  of the same class issued to the Contract Holder. We may determine the amount of the maintenance fee
based on total assets on an annual basis. The maintenance fee may also vary if the Company’s
  administrative costs associated with the Plan, or Plan administration costs that the Company agreed to pay,
  increase or decrease after the Contract has been issued. The maximum fee will not exceed that allowed
  under the Contract. We will determine the initial maintenance fee based on our estimate of the amount that
  will be allocated to the Contract during a period mutually agreed upon by the Contract Holder and us and
  based on our estimate of the Company’s administrative costs in connection with the Plan.]
 
Contribution Limits (see 2.01)
 
  [Except in the case of a rollover Contribution (as permitted by Code Sections 402(c), 402(e)(6), 403(a)(4),
  403(b)(8), 403(b)(10), 408(d)(3), 457(e)(16)) and 402A(e)(1), or as a result of an intra-plan exchange or plan-
  to-plan transfer described in under Control of Contract above, Contributions to the Contract must be made by
  the Contract Holder (or employer if different). The Contract Holder (or employer if different) may not make
  Contributions after your death, except as permitted under Section 1.403(b)-4(d) of the Treasury Regulations.
 
  Contributions may not exceed the applicable limits under Code Sections 415 and 402(g).
 
  Code Section 415 contains the maximum annual contribution limit for you under a Code Section 403(b) plan
  and includes employer nonelective contributions (including matching contributions), Code Section 403(b)
  elective deferrals, and after-tax contributions. Any amounts identified to be in excess of this limit that remain
  in the Contract shall be separately accounted for by the Company in accordance with Code Section 403(c).
 
  Code Section 403(b) elective deferrals include employee pre-tax contributions and, to the extent permitted by
  the Plan and the Contract, any employee designated Roth contributions.
 
  Elective deferral Contributions made to the Contract and any other plans, contracts or arrangements of the
  Contract Holder on your behalf may not exceed the limits of Code Section 402(g). If the Company is notified
  that a Contribution to the Contract has exceeded the limits of Code Section 402(g) or any other applicable
  Code section, the Company will, upon receipt of appropriate instruction, distribute such Contribution plus any
  earnings or interest and less any losses to you no later than April 15 of the year following the year of the
  excess Contribution or as otherwise permitted under the Code.]
 
Rollovers (see 2.06)
 
  [To the extent allowed by the Plan, the Contract shall accept Contributions that are considered rollover eligible
  amounts in accordance with Code Sections 402(c), 402(e)(6), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 403(b)(10), 408(d)(3),
  457(e)(16) and 402A(e)(1).]

  the Contract are as follows:
 
  Mortality and Expense Risk Charge: [X.XX%] (annual basis)
           This charge will never exceed [1.50%] (annual basis).
 
  Administrative Charge: [X.XX%] (annual basis)
           This charge will never exceed [0.25%] (annual basis).

                   ratio:    
 
                   (1 + a + i) x/365  
                   (1 + b + j) x/365  
 
                   Where:

  deposit for the corresponding guaranteed term
 
                   b is the US Treasury Rate in effect on the Surrender Date (based on the previous [Friday]) for a
  period equal to the remainder of the guaranteed term
 
                   i is the average of the spread over Treasury on the [Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade
  Index] in effect on the first four [Fridays] of the month of premium deposit for the corresponding
  guaranteed term
 
                   j is the spread over Treasury on the [Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index] in effect on
  the Surrender Date (based on the previous [Friday]) for a period equal to the remainder of the
  guaranteed term
 
                   x is the number of days remaining, (computed from [Wednesday] of the week of withdrawal) in the

C-CDA-10     S I - 4



Withdrawal Restrictions Under the Code (see 6.03)
 
 
                             [(a) In General. Distributions from the Contract shall be made only in accordance with the requirements of
  Code Section 403(b), the Treasury Regulations, and the Plan. The Company has no responsibility to
  make any distribution (including distributions due to loans, Annuity payments, qualified domestic
  relations orders, hardship withdrawals and systematic distributions options) from the Contract until it
  has received instructions or information from the Contract Holder and/or its designee in a form
  acceptable to the Company and necessary for the Company to administer the Contract in accordance
  with Code Section 403(b) the Treasury Regulations, and the Plan.
 
                             (b) Restricted Elective Deferrals. Restricted Elective Deferrals means elective deferral contributions
  made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement and the earnings on such contributions. However, if
  separately accounted for by the Company, Restricted Elective Deferrals do not include amounts held
  under a Section 403(b)(1) annuity contract as of December 31, 1988 provided such amounts were
  never transferred or exchanged into a Section 403(b)(7) custodial account. Unless otherwise
  indicated, Restricted Elective Deferrals include employee designated Roth contributions within the
  meaning of Code Section 402A(c)(1). Withdrawals and other distributions attributable to Restricted
  Elective Deferrals shall not be paid from the Contract unless you have (1) reached age 59 1/2, (2) had
  a severance from employment, (3) died, (4) become disabled (within the meaning of Code Section
  72(m)(7)), or (5) incurred a hardship (in which case such amounts shall be limited to actual salary
  deferral contributions, excluding earnings thereon).
 
                             (c) Employer Annuity Amounts. Employer Annuity Amounts means amounts attributable to
  contributions made to an annuity contract under Code Section 403(b)(1) (including earnings thereon)
  that are not elective deferrals. Employer Annuity Amounts do not include after-tax employee
  contributions or earnings thereon. Withdrawals and other distributions attributable to Employer Annuity
  Amounts shall not be paid from the Contract earlier than your severance from employment or upon the
  prior occurrence of some event, such as after a fixed number of years, the attainment of a stated age,
  or disability, as provided in the Plan.
 
                             (d) Employer Custodial Amounts. Employer Custodial Amounts means amounts attributable to
  contributions made to a custodial account under Code Section 403(b)(7) (including earnings thereon)
  that are not elective deferrals, and which are contributed to the Contract pursuant to an intra-plan
  exchange or plan-to-plan transfer described under Control of Contract above. Withdrawals and other
  distributions attributable to Employer Custodial Amounts that are transferred or exchanged into the
  Contract shall not be paid from the Contract unless you have (1) reached age 59 1/2, (2) had a
  severance from employment, (3) died, (4) become disabled (within the meaning of Code Section
  72(m)(7)), or (5) incurred a hardship (in which case the portion of the Employer Custodial Amounts
  available for hardship shall be limited to the Employer Custodial Amount balance held as of December
  31, 1988.)
 
                             (e) Separate Accounting. If the Contract includes both Restricted Elective Deferrals and other
  Contributions and the Restricted Elective Deferrals are not separately accounted for by the Company,
  distributions may not be made earlier than the later of (1) any date permitted under paragraph b, and
  (2) any date permitted under paragraph c or paragraph d, whichever is applicable, with respect to
  Contributions that are not Restricted Elective Deferrals.
 
(f) Exchanges and Transfers. With respect to amounts exchanged or transferred to the Contract as
  described in the Control of Contract provision, the Contract imposes distribution restrictions that are not
  less stringent than those imposed under the contract being exchanged or under the transfer or plan,
  whichever is applicable, in accordance with Section 1.403(b)-10(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
 
                             (g) Exceptions
 
  (1) Notwithstanding any other provision in the section, Withdrawals and other distributions are
               permitted to be paid from the Contract to the extent (a) allowed by applicable law, (b) described
               under Contribution Limits, (c) required by a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning
               of Section 414(p), or (d) the Withdrawal is a qualified reservist distribution described in Code
               Section 72(t)(2)(G).
 
 
C-CDA-10                                                                                                  S I - 5



  (2) If the Contract Holder informs the Company that the Plan has been terminated in accordance with
    Section 1.403(b)-10(a) of the Treasury Regulations, the Company shall distribute the Contract or
    the accumulated benefits thereunder in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 403(b)
    and the Treasury Regulations.  
 
  (3) The Withdrawal restrictions described in the section do not apply to amounts attributable to
    Contributions that are eligible rollover distributions as described in Section 1.403(b)-10(d) of the
    Treasury Regulations and that have been separately accounted for by the Company.
 
                             (h) Withdrawals from Designated Roth Accounts – Exclusion from Income
 
  A partial or full Withdrawal from a designated Roth account will be excluded from income if it is a
  qualified distribution which means:  
 
  (1) the Withdrawal occurs after the 5-taxable year period measured from the earlier of:
 
    (i) the first taxable year in which you made a designated Roth Contribution to any designated
      Roth account established on your behalf under the same applicable retirement plan as
      defined in Code Section 402A, or
 
    (ii) if a rollover Contribution was made from a designated Roth account previously established
      for you under another applicable retirement plan, the first taxable year for which you made a

           The Plan, if applicable, is not part of the Contract and the Company is not bound by its terms.

           our earnings.
1.03 Control of Contract
           Control of the Contract is as shown on Contract Schedule I under Control of Contract.
1.04 Certificate  
           Any certificate summarizes Contract provisions; it is for information only and is not part of the Contract. We
           will provide certificates as required by state law in the state where the Contract is delivered and as allowed
           under the Plan.
1.05 Incontestability
           We will not cancel the Contract because of any error of fact.
1.06 Grace Period
           Except as provided in 6.09, the Contract and all Individual Accounts will remain in effect even if Contributions
           are not continued.
1.07 Change of Contract
           Only a Company officer at the level of Vice President or higher, or an officer with written delegation of
           authority from a Vice President or higher officer, may change the terms of the Contract. No other Company
           officer, employee, agent or representative can change the Contract.
           Except as noted below, the Contract may be changed at any time by written mutual agreement between the
           Contract Holder and the Company. For changes we initiate requiring Contract Holder consent, we notify the
           Contract Holder 60 calendar days in advance of the change and consider that the Contract Holder has agreed
           to the change unless we receive written notice that the Contract Holder does not agree to the change at least
           30 calendar days before the date the change becomes effective.
           If we propose a change requiring Contract Holder consent and the Contract Holder does not agree to the
           change, we have the right to not establish new Individual Accounts and to stop accepting Contributions to
           existing Individual Accounts.
           We will not change, unilaterally or pursuant to mutual agreement, the provisions of section 4.01 (Fixed Plus
           Account II Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate) or the Fixed Plus Account II Minimum Guaranteed Interest
           Rate provisions in Contract Schedule I.
           We have the right to change the following without Contract Holder consent:
           (a) Net Investment Factor (see 3.06)
    We may change the net investment factor by notifying the Contract Holder in writing at least 30
    calendar days before the change becomes effective. If we do this, (other than a change to the net
    investment factor in accordance with Section 1.18) the change will apply only to Individual Accounts
    established, and Contributions received, after the date the change becomes effective.
           (b) Guaranteed Accumulation Account (GAA) market value adjustment (see 5.09)
    We may change the GAA market value adjustment by notifying the Contract Holder in writing at least
    90 calendar days before the change becomes effective. If we do this, the change will apply only to
    guaranteed terms offered in deposit periods after the date the change becomes effective.
 
C-CDA-10 3



           (c) Systematic Distribution Options (see 6.08)
    We may change systematic distribution options by notifying the Contract Holder in writing at least 30
    calendar days before the change becomes effective. If we do this, the change will not apply to you or
    beneficiaries receiving payments under an option before the date the change becomes effective.
 
           (d) Annuity Options (see 9.02) and the mortality table (see 9.03)
    The company may change or eliminate Annuity options, the attached Annuity options tables and the
    mortality table we use to calculate payment rates for life-contingent Annuity payments. If we do this,
    the change will be effective no earlier than 12 months after the Effective Date of the Contract and no
    earlier than 12 months after the date on which any such prior change was effective. Any change will
    not apply to Individual Accounts under the Contract established before the effective date of the
    change, but will apply to new Individual Accounts covered on or after the date any change is effective.
    Any change will not affect the amount or terms of any Annuity beginning before the change is
    effective.
 
         In addition, we may change the Contract as required to comply with state and federal law without Contract
         Holder consent by notifying the Contract Holder before the date the change becomes effective.
 
         Any unilateral change, other than changes required to comply with state or federal law, will not apply to
         Individual Accounts established before the date the change becomes effective, but will apply to Individual
         Accounts established on or after the date the change becomes effective. If we make a unilateral change, the
         Contract Holder or you, as applicable, are permitted to terminate participation in the Contract before the date
         the change becomes effective under the terms of the Contract in effect prior to the date the change becomes
         effective.
 
         As required by law, we will make any change of Contract by endorsement, which may be subject to regulatory
         approval in the state where the Contract is delivered.
 
1.08 Payments  
 
         We make payments as directed by the Contract Holder or you, as applicable. Payment requests must be in
         writing or as we otherwise allow in our administrative practice. We determine the amount of any payment
         based on the Individual Account value as of the next Valuation Date following our receipt of a payment
         request in Good Order at our Home Office. Generally, we make payments within seven calendar days.
 
1.09 Deferral of Payment
 
         By law, we have the right to defer payment of Withdrawals for up to six (6) months from the date we receive
         the request after making written request and receiving written approval of the Insurance Commissioner. The
         request shall address the necessity and equitability to all Contract Owners of the deferral.
 
1.10 Proof of Age
 
         If a life-contingent Annuity option is elected, we may require proof of the age of an Annuitant.
 
1.11 Evidence of Survival
 
         We may require proof that any Annuitant under a life-contingent Annuity option is living.
 
1.12 Misstatements and Adjustments
 
         If we learn that the age of any Annuitant or second Annuitant is misstated, we will use the correct age to
         adjust payments. We reserve the right to obtain reimbursement, or to adjust future payments for any amount
         we overpaid. We will pay the amount of any underpayment.
 
1.13 Reports  
 
         Each calendar year we provide the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, with a report of the Individual
         Account value. We also provide an annual report for the Separate Account.
 
 
 
 
C-CDA-10                                                                                                      4



1.14 State Laws
 
    The Contract complies with the laws of the state in which it is delivered. Any cash, death or Annuity
    payments are equal to or greater than the minimum required. To determine legal reserve valuation, we use
    Annuity tables as required by law; such tables may be different from those we use to determine Annuity
    payments.
 
1.15 Claims of Creditors
 
    Individual Accounts are subject to the claims of creditors of the Contract Holder, you or a beneficiary as
    shown on Contract Schedule I under Claims of Creditors.
 
1.16 Maintenance Fee
 
    We may deduct an annual maintenance fee during the Accumulation Phase.
 
    The amount of the maintenance fee, if any, for the Contract will never be more than the amount shown on
    Contract Schedule I under Maintenance Fee.
 
    The fee, if any, is deducted proportionately from each Investment Option under the Contract in which an
    Individual Account is invested at the time the fee is deducted.
 
1.17 Charges for Additional Services
 
    We, or our authorized representatives, may provide administrative services to the Plan under a separate
    administrative services agreement with the Contract Holder. We may charge for the services described in the
    separate agreement, and the costs of such services may be periodically deducted directly from Individual
    Accounts (see 2.05). The amount of such fees, and the frequency at which they may be paid from Individual
    Accounts, will be specified in the separate agreement between us and the Contract Holder, and will be
    approved by the Contract Holder.
 
1.18 Charges Subject to Change
 
    The charges to the Separate Account during the Accumulation Phase (see 3.07) may vary (increase,
    decrease, or be eliminated) based on the total assets held in all Individual Accounts under the Contract. In
    determining total assets, we may aggregate Individual Accounts established under different Company
    Contracts. The aggregate amount is equal to the sum of assets in all Individual Accounts under the Contract,
    plus the value of Individual Accounts under other Company Contracts of the same class issued to the
    Contract Holder. We may determine the amount of the charges to the Separate Account based on total
    assets on an annual basis. We will determine initial charges based on our estimate of the amount that will be
    allocated to the Contract during a period mutually agreed upon by the Contract Holder and us.
 
1.19 Deduction of Plan Fees
 
    Upon written direction from a Contract Holder sponsoring a Plan, and upon confirmation from the Contract
    Holder that such deduction is permitted under the terms of its Plan, the Company will deduct from your
    account values under the Contract Holder’s Plan the amounts specified by the Contract Holder to pay costs
    associated with the administration of the Plan in accordance with its terms, the Code and the Treasury
    Regulations. The Company will deduct such amounts at the frequency specified by the Contract Holder,
    provided such frequency is agreed to by the Company. The Company will not retain any such amounts
    deducted but will pay them as directed by the Contract Holder.
 
    If a Contract Holder does not direct such deductions, the Company may in its discretion elect to pay all or part
of the administration expenses of the Contract Holder's Plan in accordance with Section 1.20 (Plan
    Administration Subsidy).
 
 
 
 
C-CDA-10 5



1.20 Plan Administration Subsidy
         The Company and/or its affiliates may provide Plan administration services to the Contract Holder. Such
         services may be offered at no or reduced cost. Also, the Company may subsidize all or a portion of the
         Contract Holder's Plan administration expenses by paying certain costs associated with the Contract Holder's
         Plan administration personnel and/or certain costs associated with a third party administrator engaged by the
         Contract Holder to administer the Plan in accordance with its terms, the Code and the Treasury Regulations.
         The Company shall have no obligation to agree to Plan administration subsidy requests, and unless otherwise
         agreed to in advance by the Company and the Contract Holder, the Company may limit or terminate the
         subsidy with respect to a Contract Holder's Plan at the Company's sole discretion. Plan administration
         subsidies will be paid only to the extent requested by the Contract Holder and agreed to by the Company in
         writing. The Company will determine the availability of a Plan administration subsidy on a basis that is not
         unfairly discriminatory.
1.21 Recodification
         In the event of any recodification of the Code Section references contained herein, the Contract shall be
         construed to refer to the original Code Sections as recodified.
 
Part I. Accumulation Phase
Section 2. Contributions and Individual Account Value
 
2.01 Contributions
         We allocate Contributions in whole percentages among the available Investment Options under the Contract
         as directed by the Contract Holder or you, as applicable. Changes in future Contribution allocation may be
         made at any time without charge. The Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may also establish an Individual
         Account with one lump sum Contribution.
         We reserve the right to establish minimum Contribution amounts and to refuse to accept any Contribution.
         Contributions to Individual Accounts may be limited as provided in the Code. The limits, if any, are shown on
         Contract Schedule I under Contribution Limits.
2.02 Premium Tax
         We pay any applicable Premium Tax when it is due. We will deduct the amount of any applicable Premium
         Tax from the Individual Account value no earlier than when there is a tax liability. We reserve the right to
         deduct any Premium Tax due before a Contribution is allocated to an Individual Account.
2.03 Individual Account
         We will establish an Individual Account for you.
         If required, we will provide accounts that distinguish between your employer' Contributions, employee pre-tax
         Contributions and your employee designated Roth Contributions.
2.04 Experience Credit
         We may apply experience credits (investment, administrative, mortality or other) under the Contract and may
         apply such credits as:
           (a) A reduction in the maintenance fee;
           (b) A reduction in the mortality and expense risk charge to the Separate Account;
           (c) A reduction in the administrative charge to the Separate Account; and
           (d) An increase in a Fixed Interest Option interest rate.
 
 
C-CDA-10 6



         We will apply experience credits at our sole discretion as we deem appropriate for the class of contracts to
         which the Contract is issued.
2.05 Individual Account Value
         As of the most recent Valuation Date, the Individual Account value is equal to the total of all Contributions:
           (a) Plus any interest added on the amount, if any, allocated to a Fixed Interest Option(s);
           (b) Plus or minus the investment experience on the amount, if any, held in the Separate Account;
           (c) Minus any applicable maintenance fees, any amounts withdrawn, or used to purchase Annuity
    payments, or any applicable Premium Tax; and
           (d) Minus any applicable fees or charges deducted.
2.06 Rollovers  
       Rollovers of amounts from other retirement plans or arrangements are accepted as provided for on Contract
       Schedule I under Rollovers.
 
Section 3. Separate Account
3.01 General  
         The Separate Account, established under Title 38a, Section 38a-433 of the Connecticut General Statutes,
         buys and holds shares of the Funds available under the Contract. The Separate Account is registered as a
         unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
         We own the assets held in the Separate Account; we are not a trustee of those assets. Income, gains or
         losses, realized or unrealized, are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to our
         other income, gains or losses. Separate Account assets, to the extent of reserves and other Contract
         liabilities, cannot be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct.
3.02 Funds Available
         We reserve the right to limit the number of Funds in which an Individual Account may be invested, at one time
         or cumulatively, during the Accumulation Phase and/or Annuity Phase.
3.03 Change or Substitution of Funds
         We reserve the right to stop offering any Fund or to add Funds. We may substitute shares of a Fund for
         shares of another Fund. We will provide the Contract Holder with reasonable advance notice of any
         elimination, addition or substitution of a Fund. If the Plan is subject to ERISA, we will seek Contract Holder
         consent in advance of any Fund substitution. Consent will be deemed given unless, following notice of
         substitution and within a prescribed time period, the Contract Holder notifies us in writing that it does not
         consent and provides us with alternative investment instructions for the shares that would otherwise be
         affected by the substitution.
3.04 Accumulation Units
         Each Contribution allocated to one or more of the Funds is credited to an Individual Account as accumulation
         units. The number of accumulation units is calculated by dividing the amount of the Contribution allocated to
         the Fund by the accumulation unit value (see 3.05) as of the next Valuation Date following our receipt of the
         Contribution in Good Order at our Home Office.
3.05 Accumulation Unit Value
         The value of each accumulation unit for any Fund for each Valuation Date is computed by multiplying the net
         investment factor (see 3.06) by the accumulation unit value for the prior Valuation Date.
         Accumulation unit values may increase or decrease from Valuation Date to Valuation Date.
 
 
C-CDA-10                                                                                                      7



3.06 Net Investment Factor
           The net investment factor is used to compute the accumulation unit value for any Fund.
           For each Valuation Date, for each Fund, the net investment factor is equal to 1.0000000, plus the net return
           rate.  
           The net return rate equals:
                                                         [a - b - c]
                                                         ------------- - e
                                                               d
           Where:  
           a is the value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account on the current Valuation Date;
           b is the value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account on the prior Valuation Date;
           c is taxes or provisions for taxes, if any, on the Separate Account (with any federal income tax liability
    offset by foreign tax credits to the extent allowed);
           d is the total value of the accumulation units and Annuity units of the Separate Account on the prior
    Valuation Date; and
           e is Separate Account daily charges for mortality and expense risk and a daily administrative charge as
    shown on Contract Schedule I under Daily Charges to the Separate Account.
 
           The net return rate may be greater or less than zero percent.
3.07  Charges to the Separate Account
           During the Accumulation Phase, we may deduct a mortality and expense risk charge from the Individual
           Account value invested in the Separate Account. In addition, we reserve the right to impose an administrative
           charge.
           The charges to the Separate Account are shown on Contract Schedule I under Daily Charges to the Separate
           Account and are deducted daily.
3.08  Fund Transfers
           During the Accumulation Phase, any portion or all of the Individual Account value held in a Fund may be
           transferred to any other Fund or any available Fixed Interest Option. The Individual Account value will be
           based on the Fund's accumulation unit value next determined after we receive a Transfer request in Good
           Order.  
3.09  Withdrawals from the Separate Account
           If the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, requests a partial or full Withdrawal (see 6.02) from the Funds, a
           Withdrawal Charge may apply (see 6.04).
 
Section 4. Fixed Plus Account II
The following provisions apply if the Fixed Plus Account II is available as shown on Contract Schedule I under Fixed
Interest Options Available.
4.01 Fixed Plus Account II Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate
           We will credit interest to the Fixed Plus Account II at annual effective yields that are at least equal to the Fixed
           Plus Account II Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rates shown on Contract Schedule I.
4.02 Transfers from the Fixed Plus Account II
  During each rolling 12-month period, the percentage shown on Contract Schedule I under Fixed Plus Account II
  Annual Transfer and Partial Withdrawal Limit may be transferred from the Fixed Plus Account II to another
  Investment Option offered under the Contract.
C-CDA-10 8



  The amount available for Transfer is based on the Individual Account value in the Fixed Plus Account II on the
  Business Day we receive the Transfer request in Good Order at our Home Office, reduced by any amount
  withdrawn, transferred, taken as a loan (if allowed under the Contract), or used to purchase Annuity payments
  during the 12 months prior to the transfer request.  In addition, we reserve the right to reduce the amount
  available for Transfer by amounts withdrawn under a systematic distribution option and the right to establish a
  minimum transfer amount.
  Twenty percent of the amount in the Fixed Plus Account II may be transferred in each of four consecutive 12
  months and the balance transferred in the fifth year subject to the following conditions:
 
   (a) During the five-year period, no additional amounts are allocated to or transferred from the Fixed Plus
    Account II;
 
   (b) We will include any amount transferred, taken as a loan (if allowed under the Contract) or used to
    purchase Annuity payments during the prior 12-month period when calculating the amount which equals
    20%; and
 
   (c) We reserve the right to include amounts paid under a systematic distribution option when calculating the
    amount which equals 20%.
 
  The Transfer limit referenced above does not apply when:
 
    The amount in the Fixed Plus Account II is less than or equal to the amount shown on Contract Schedule I
    under Waiver of Fixed Plus Account II Transfer Limit.
 
           The Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may request a Transfer by properly completing a Transfer request
           form and forwarding it to our Home Office, or by otherwise complying with our administrative procedures.
 
4.03 Partial Withdrawals from the Fixed Plus Account II
 
           During each rolling 12-month period, the percentage shown on Contract Schedule I under Fixed Plus Account
           II Annual Transfer and Partial Withdrawal Limit may be withdrawn by you from the Fixed Plus Account II.
 
           The amount available for Withdrawal is based on the Individual Account value in the Fixed Plus Account II on
           the Business Day we receive the Withdrawal request in Good Order at our Home Office, reduced by any
           amount withdrawn, transferred, taken as a loan (if allowed under the Contract), or used to purchase Annuity
           payments during the 12 months prior to the request. We also reserve the right to reduce the amount available
           by deducting any amount withdrawn under an SDO (see 6.08).
 
           The partial Withdrawal limit previously referenced does not apply when the Withdrawal is as noted on
           Contract Schedule I under Waiver of Fixed Plus Account II Partial Withdrawal Provision.
 
4.04 Full Withdrawal of the Total Amount in the Fixed Plus Account II
 
           The Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may make a full Withdrawal from the Fixed Plus Account II as
           follows:
 
           (a)      The Contract Holder may withdraw the sum of the value of all Individual Accounts under the Contract
         provided the Contract Holder controls the Contract (see Contract Schedule I under Control of Contract);
         and
 
           (b)      You or the Contract Holder, as applicable, may withdraw the entire value of the Individual Account(s)
         established for you under the terms of this provision.
 
           Once we receive a full Withdrawal request in Good Order at our Home Office, no additional Transfers, partial
           Withdrawals, or loans (if allowed under the Contract) are allowed.
 
           For a full Withdrawal to the Contract Holder or to you, we will pay the applicable amount, with interest
           determined in a manner consistent with 4.01, in five payments as follows, unless, for Withdrawals requested
           by you, the waiver described in 4.05 applies:
 
           (1)      One-fifth of the following amount: The Individual Account value, or the value of the sum of all Individual
         Accounts, as applicable, in the Fixed Plus Account II as of the Business Day we receive the Withdrawal
         request in Good Order at our Home Office reduced by the amount, if any, transferred, taken as a loan
         (if allowed under the Contract) or withdrawn either by the Contract Holder or you, or used to purchase
Annuity payments during the prior 12 months. We also reserve the right to reduce the
 
C-CDA-10 9



    amount available by deducting any amount withdrawn under an SDO (see 6.08); then
 
           (2) One-fourth of the remaining amount 12 months later reduced by the amount, if any, transferred, taken
    as a loan (if allowed under the Contract) or withdrawn either by the Contract Holder or you, or used to
    purchase Annuity payments during the prior 12 months; then
 
           (3) One-third of the remaining amount 12 months later reduced by the amount, if any, transferred, taken as
    a loan (if allowed under the Contract) or withdrawn either by the Contract Holder or you, or used to
    purchase Annuity payments during the prior 12 months; then
 
           (4) One-half of the remaining amount 12 months later reduced by the amount, if any, transferred, taken as
    a loan (if allowed under the Contract), or withdrawn either by the Contract Holder or you, or used to
    purchase Annuity payments during the prior 12 months; then
 
           (5) The balance of the Individual Account value, or the balance of the value of the sum of all Individual
    Accounts, as applicable in the Fixed Plus Account II, 12 months later.
 
         No Withdrawal Charge applies to amounts withdrawn from the Fixed Plus Account II.
 
         The Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may cancel a full Withdrawal request from the Fixed Plus Account II at
         any time.
 
4.05 Waiver of Fixed Plus Account II Full Withdrawal Provision
 
         When you request a full Withdrawal, payment from the Fixed Plus Account II is not limited as described in 4.04
         when the Withdrawal is as noted on Contract Schedule I under Waiver of Fixed Plus Account II Full Withdrawal
         Provision.
 
 
Section 5. Guaranteed Accumulation Account (GAA)
 
The following provisions apply if the Guaranteed Accumulation Account is available as shown on Contract Schedule I under
Fixed Interest Options Available.
 
5.01 Nonunitized Separate Account
 
         The Nonunitized Separate Account is established under Title 38a, Section 38a-433 of the Connecticut General
         Statutes. There are no discrete units for this account. We own the assets held in the Nonunitized Separate
         Account; we are not a trustee of those assets. The Contract Holder or you do not participate in the investment
         gain or loss from assets held in the Nonunitized Separate Account. We assume any such gain or loss. Income,
         gains or losses, realized or unrealized, are credited to or charged against the Nonunitized Separate Account
         without regard to our other income, gains or losses. Nonunitized Separate Account assets, to the extent of
         reserves and other Contract liabilities, cannot be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business we
         conduct.
5.02 GAA Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate
 
         We will declare all interest rate(s) applicable to a specific term prior to the start of the deposit period. The rate(s)
         are guaranteed by us for that deposit period and the ensuing term and are not based on the actual investment
         experience of the underlying assets in GAA. The guaranteed rates are annual effective yields. The interest is
         credited at a rate that will produce the guaranteed annual effective yield over the period of a year. The rate
         credited will never be less than 0.25%.
 
         For guaranteed terms of one year or less, one guaranteed rate is credited for the full guaranteed term. For
         longer guaranteed terms, we may credit an initial guaranteed interest rate from the date of deposit to the end of a
         specified period within the guaranteed term. We may credit different interest rates for subsequent specified
         periods throughout the guaranteed term.
 
5.03 Deposit Period
 
         A deposit period is the period of time we determine during which we accept allocations (Contributions, Transfers,
         or reinvestments) to one or more guaranteed terms. We reserve the right to extend the deposit period.
 
 
 
 
C-CDA-10 10



5.04 Guaranteed Term
 
         A guaranteed term is the period of time for which we guarantee the declared interest rate for allocations
         (Contributions, Transfers, or reinvestments) to GAA guaranteed terms. We may offer guaranteed terms
ranging in duration from one to ten years. During each deposit period, we may offer more than one
         guaranteed term of varying lengths. The guaranteed term begins the day after the deposit period ends. The
         Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may allocate Contributions or Transfers to any or all guaranteed terms
         available in the current deposit period.
 
5.05 Guaranteed Term Groups
 
         A guaranteed term group is comprised of all GAA guaranteed terms of the same duration.
 
 
5.06 Maturity Date, Maturity Value and Reinvestment
 
         The Maturity Date is the last day of a guaranteed term. The maturity value is the amount we pay at the end of
         a guaranteed term. At least 18 calendar days before any guaranteed term Maturity Date, we notify the
         Contract Holder or you, as applicable, of the projected maturity value and the guaranteed terms (and the
         guaranteed interest rates for each) available during the then-current deposit period. The Contract Holder, or
         you, as applicable, may then tell us how to allocate the maturity value.
 
         If the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, does not tell us how to reinvest the maturity value, we reinvest it
         in a guaranteed term of the same duration if one is available. If no guaranteed term of the same duration is
         available, we reinvest the maturity value in the guaranteed term with the next shortest duration. If no shorter
         guaranteed term is available, we reinvest the maturity value in the next longest term. We mail a confirmation
         of reinvestment. The confirmation includes the guaranteed term in which we have reinvested the maturity
         value and the guaranteed interest rate for that term.
 
         If we have reinvested the maturity value, during the month following the Maturity Date, the Contract Holder or
         you, as applicable, may Transfer or Withdraw the reinvested amount, with interest earned (as of the date we
         receive the request) without incurring a market value adjustment (see 5.08).
 
5.07 Transfers and Withdrawals from the GAA
 
         Except as noted below, the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may Transfer any portion or all of the
         amount held in the GAA. Transfers or Withdrawals before the Maturity Date may be subject to a market value
         adjustment (see 5.08). Amounts invested in a guaranteed term may not be transferred during the deposit
         period or for a period of 90 calendar days after the close of the deposit period.
 
         Unless directed otherwise, when the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, requests a Transfer or Withdrawal
         from the GAA, we withdraw amounts proportionately from each guaranteed term in which the Individual
         Account is invested. Within a guaranteed term group, we withdraw first from the oldest deposit period and
         then from the next oldest and so on until the amount requested is withdrawn.
 
5.08 Application of the Market Value Adjustment
 
         Transfers or Withdrawals from the GAA before the Maturity Date are subject to a market value adjustment,
         except for:
 
           (a) A one-month period following the Maturity Date on which we have automatically reinvested the value
    on the Maturity Date;
 
           (b) Distributions under certain systematic distribution options; and
 
           (c) When the Withdrawal is equal to the minimum distribution amount required under the Code, using a
    method permitted by the Code and which we offer.
 
         For Withdrawals and Transfers from the GAA made (1) within six months of your death; or (2) to purchase
         Annuity payments under a life-contingent Annuity option, the amount withdrawn from the GAA is the greater
         of:  
 
           (a) The aggregate market value adjustment amount which is the sum of all market value adjusted
    amounts calculated due to a Withdrawal before the Maturity Date (which may be positive or negative);
    or
 
 
C-CDA-10 11



           (b) The amount in the GAA.
 
           For Withdrawals made after the six month period following death, the Withdrawal or Transfer amount is the
           aggregate MVA amount.
 
           A MVA applies to amounts withdrawn to purchase Annuity payment under a period certain Annuity option.
 
  We may change the GAA market value adjustment by notifying the Contract Holder in writing at least 90 calendar
  days before the change becomes effective. Any such change will apply only to guaranteed terms offered in
  deposit periods after the date the change becomes effective and will apply to existing and new Individual
  Accounts.
 
5.09 GAA Market Value Adjustment (MVA)
 
  The market value adjustment is calculated using the GAA Market Value Adjustment (MVA) formula on Contract
  Schedule I.
 
 
Section 6. Transfers, Withdrawals and Distributions
 
6.01 Transfers
 
           During the Accumulation Phase, the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may Transfer all or any portion of
           the Individual Account value among the available Investment Options under the Contract. The Individual
           Account value on any amount transferred from a Fund will be based on the Fund's accumulation unit value
           next determined after we receive the Transfer request in Good Order at our Home Office.
 
           The Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may request a Transfer by properly completing a Transfer request
           form and sending it to our Home Office, or by otherwise complying with our administrative procedures. We
           reserve the right to establish a minimum Transfer amount.
 
6.02 Withdrawals
 
           As allowed by the Plan and any restrictions, limitations, or changes provided under the Contract, if applicable,
           and subject to provisions of the Code (see 6.03), during the Accumulation Phase, the Contract Holder or you,
           as applicable, may withdraw any portion or all of the Individual Account value. For Code Section 403(b) Plans,
           401 and governmental 457 Plans, you or if you are deceased your surviving spousal beneficiary (or your
           spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a domestic relations order, as defined in Section
           414(p) of the Code) who is entitled to an eligible rollover distribution may elect to have any portion of an
           eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from the Plan paid directly to an
           eligible retirement plan (as defined in Section 402(c)(8)(B) of the Code) or paid directly to a Roth individual
           retirement annuity or a Roth individual retirement account as a qualified rollover contribution (as defined in
Section 408A(e) of the Code), as specified by you, your beneficiary or spouse in a direct rollover. A
           beneficiary who at the time of your death was neither your spouse nor your spouse or former spouse who is
           an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order may elect to have any portion of an eligible
           rollover distribution directly rolled over only to an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity
           (IRA) that has been established on behalf of the beneficiary as an inherited IRA (within the meaning of
           Section 408(d)(3)(C) of the Code), to the extent permitted under the Plan.
 
           The Individual Account value of any amount withdrawn from a Fund will be based on the Fund's accumulation
           unit value next determined after we receive the Transfer request in Good Order.
 
           The Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may request a Withdrawal by properly completing a Withdrawal
           request form and forwarding it to our Home Office, or by otherwise complying with our administrative
           procedures. Unless the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, requests otherwise, the Withdrawal will be
           made proportionately from the Investment Options under the Contract in which the Individual Account is
           invested.
 
           A Withdrawal Charge may apply to amounts withdrawn (see 6.04). In addition, a market value adjustment
           may apply to amounts withdrawn from the GAA (see 5.08 and 5.09) and limitations may apply to Withdrawals
           from the Fixed Plus Account II (see 4.04).
 
 
 
 
C-CDA-10 12



6.03 Withdrawal Restrictions Under the Code
 
    The Code may impose restrictions on the amount and timing of Withdrawals. The restrictions applicable to
    the Contract are shown on Contract Schedule I under Withdrawal Restrictions Under the Code. Withdrawals
    that do not comply with the Code may be subject to tax penalties.
 
6.04 Withdrawal Charge
 
    During the Accumulation Phase, we may deduct a Withdrawal Charge from the Individual Account value
    withdrawn. The charge, if any, is a percentage of the amount withdrawn from the Funds and/or Fixed Interest
    Options (except, if applicable, the Fixed Plus Account II).
 
    The Withdrawal Charge, if any, is shown on Contract Schedule I under Withdrawal Charge.
 
6.05 Waiver of Withdrawal Charge
 
    The Withdrawal Charge (see 6.04) does not apply in any of the circumstances shown on Contract Schedule I
    under Waiver of Withdrawal Charge.
 
    In addition, we reserve the right to reduce, waive or eliminate the Withdrawal Charge.
 
6.06 Reinstatement
 
    Within 30 calendar days after a Withdrawal, the Contract Holder or you, as applicable may elect to reinstate
    all or a portion of the proceeds of a full Withdrawal if allowed by applicable law. We must receive the
    reinstated amount within 60 calendar days of the Withdrawal.
 
    Any maintenance fee and Withdrawal Charge imposed at the time of the Withdrawal is included in the
    reinstatement. If only a portion of the amount withdrawn is reinstated, the amount of any maintenance fee
    and Withdrawal Charge deducted will be restored proportionally. Any maintenance fee which falls due after
    the Withdrawal and before reinstatement is deducted from the amount reinstated.
 
    The amount of any market value adjustment deducted from any amount withdrawn from GAA is not included
    in the amount reinstated. Any amount reinstated to the GAA will be credited to guaranteed terms available in
    the current deposit period and will be reinvested in a guaranteed term of the same duration if one is available.
    If no guaranteed term of the same duration is available, we reinvest the maturity value in the guaranteed term
    with the next shortest duration. If no shorter guaranteed term is available, we reinvest the maturity value in
    the next longest term.
 
    Amounts are reinstated among the Investment Options under the Contract in the same proportion as they
    were held at the time of Withdrawal.
 
    The number of accumulation units reinstated to any Fund is based on the accumulation unit values next
    computed after we receive the reinstatement request in Good Order at our Home Office.
 
    Reinstatement is permitted only once.
 
6.07 Required Distributions
 
    While an Individual Account remains in the Accumulation Phase, the Code may require distribution of all or a
    portion of the Individual Account value. The Contract Holder, you or Contract beneficiary, as applicable, must
    tell us when to begin distributions. We have no responsibility for adverse tax consequences as the result of
    the Contract Holder, you or Contract beneficiary, as applicable, not complying with minimum distribution
    requirements.
 
    The distribution requirements, if any, are shown on Contract Schedule I under Required Distributions.
 
    Generally, to meet distribution requirements, the Contract Holder, you or Contract beneficiary, as applicable,
may request partial Withdrawals, a systematic distribution option (see 6.08) or an Annuity option.
 
6.08 Systematic Distribution Options (SDOs)
 
    During the Accumulation Phase, we may offer one or more distribution options under which we make
    regularly scheduled automatic partial distributions of the Individual Account value. To request an SDO, the
    Contract Holder, you or Contract beneficiary, as applicable, must complete an SDO election form and forward
    it to our Home Office.
 
 
C-CDA-10 13



    Each option is available without discrimination to any class of contracts. The availability of any specific option
    may be subject to terms and conditions applicable to that option. We may discontinue the availability of an
    SDO option for future election. Payments will, however, continue to Participants who elected the option
    before the date it is no longer available.
 
6.09 Individual Account Termination
 
   If Contributions have not been made for a period of two full years and the guaranteed monthly benefit under the
   Annuity options would be less than $20 per month, then we may terminate an Individual Account by payment of
   the Individual Account value. Before we do this, we notify the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, 90
   calendar days in advance.
 
 
 
Section 7. Loans
 
7.01 Loan Availability
Contract Schedule I indicates whether loans are available under the Contract. If available, a loan
    endorsement is included as part of the Contract.
 
 
 
Section 8. Death Benefit During the Accumulation Phase
 
8.01 Death Benefit
    If you die during the Accumulation Phase, we pay a death benefit. The amount of the death benefit is the
    Individual Account value as of the next Valuation Date following our receipt of acceptable proof of death at our
    Home Office (see 5.08 for amounts in the GAA).
 
8.02 Contract Beneficiary
    The Contract beneficiary is shown on Contract Schedule I under Contract beneficiary. Generally, you may
    name a beneficiary under the Plan (the Plan beneficiary). If allowed by the Plan, when designating the
    beneficiary, the Contract Holder or you, as applicable, may specify, the form of payment as permitted by the
    Code. The Contract beneficiary and the form of payment, if applicable, may be designated or changed in
    writing or as we may otherwise allow in our administrative procedures.
 
8.03 Distribution of Death Benefit
    Generally, if the Plan beneficiary is your surviving spouse, distribution of the death benefit must begin no later
    than the year you would have attained age 70 1/2 or any other date allowed under federal law or regulations.
    If the Plan beneficiary is not your surviving spouse, generally, the death benefit must be used to purchase
    Annuity payments within one year of the year of your death or otherwise paid within five years of the year of
    your death.
Annuity payments to a Plan beneficiary may not extend beyond the period specified in the Code.
 
 
 
 
C-CDA-10 14



Part II. Annuity Phase

Section 9. General Provisions
 
9.01 Election  
 
         The Contract Holder, you, or Contract or Plan beneficiary, as applicable, may elect an Annuity option by
         properly completing an election form and forwarding it to our Home Office no later than 30 calendar days
         before the desired first Annuity payment date. All Annuity option elections must comply with any Plan
requirements and regulatory requirements including the Code minimum distribution requirements.
 
         All or any portion of the Individual Account value (after the deduction of any applicable Premium Tax) may be
         used to purchase Annuity payments (for amounts from the GAA, see 5.08).
 
         The Contract Holder, a you, or Contract or Plan beneficiary, as applicable, must also select the Investment
         Options under the Contract (see 9.05).
 
         Once payments begin, an Annuity option may not be revoked, nor may any amount be withdrawn except as
         noted below.
 
 
9.02 Annuity Options
 
         The Contract Holder, you, or Contract or Plan beneficiary, as applicable, must elect one of the following
         Annuity options. The attached Annuity purchase rate tables provide our current guaranteed Annuity purchase
         rates with respect to each option.
 
         Option 1: Payments for a Stated Period
         This option provides payments for a stated period. The number of years in the stated period must fall within
         the range shown on Contract Schedule II under Payment Period.
 
         If payments for this option are under a Variable Annuity, the present value of any remaining payments may be
         withdrawn at any time. If a Withdrawal is requested within five years of the first payment, the lump-sum
         payment is treated as a Withdrawal during the Accumulation Phase and any applicable Withdrawal Charge
         applies (see 6.04).
 
         If the payments are fixed-only, an annual increase of one, two or three percent (compounded annually) may
         be elected at the time the Annuity option is chosen (if permitted by the Code).
 
         Option 2: Life Income for One Annuitant
         This option provides payments for the life of the Annuitant. If this option is elected, the Contract Holder, you,
         or Contract or Plan beneficiary, as applicable, must also choose one of the following:
 
           (a) Payments cease at the death of the Annuitant; or
 
           (b) Payments are guaranteed for a period within the range shown on Contract Schedule II under Payment
    Period.
 
 
         If the payments are fixed-only, an annual increase of one, two or three percent (compounded annually) may
         be elected at the time the Annuity option is chosen (if permitted by the Code).
 
 
 
 
C-CDA-10 15



         Option 3: Life Income for Two Annuitants
         This option provides payments for the lives of the Annuitant and a second Annuitant. Payments continue until
         both Annuitants have died. If this option is elected, the Contract Holder, you, or Contract or Plan beneficiary
         as applicable, must also choose one of the following:
           (a) 100% of the payment amount to continue after the first death; or
           (b) 66 2/3% of the payment amount to continue after the first death; or
           (c) 50% of the payment amount to continue after the first death; or
           (d) 100% of the payment amount to continue after the first death with payments guaranteed to the
    beneficiary after the second death for a period within the range shown on Contract Schedule II under
    Payment Period; or
           (e) 100% of the payment amount to continue at the death of the specified second Annuitant and 50% of
    the payment amount to continue at the death of the specified Annuitant.
 
         Under (a) or (d), if the payments are fixed-only, an annual increase of one, two or three percent (compounded
         annually) may be elected at the time the Annuity option is chosen (if permitted by the Code).
         Other Options
         As allowed under applicable state law, we reserve the right to make other options available.
9.03 Mortality Table
         The mortality table for the Contract is shown on Contract Schedule II under Mortality Table.
9.04 Payments  
         The first payment amount must be at least $100 per month or $500 per year. We reserve the right to increase
         the minimum first payment amount, if allowed by state law, based on increases reflected in the Consumer
         Price Index-Urban (CPI-U) since January 1, 2009.
         To calculate the first payment of a variable Annuity or the guaranteed payments for a fixed Annuity, we will
         use the Annuitant's adjusted age and, if applicable, the second Annuitant's adjusted age. The Annuitant's
         adjusted age and, if applicable, the second Annuitant's adjusted age is the person's age as of the birthday
         closest to the day Annuity payments begin, reduced as follows:
           (a) Reduced by one year for payments beginning before January 1, 2014;
           (b) Reduced by two years for payments beginning during the period from January 1, 2014 through
    December 31, 2023;
           (c) Starting on January 1, 2024, reduced by one additional year for payments beginning in each
    succeeding ten year period.
         If a fixed Annuity is elected, we will use the applicable current settlement option rates if they will provide
         higher fixed Annuity payments.
9.05 Investment Options
         When an Annuity option is elected, the Contract Holder, you, or Contract or Plan beneficiary, as applicable,
         must elect:
           (a) A fixed Annuity for which the underlying investment is our General Account;
           (b) A variable Annuity for which the underlying investment is one or more of the available Funds; or
           (c) A combination of (a) and (b).
 
 
 
 
C-CDA-10 16



         For a variable Annuity, the maximum number of Funds available during the Annuity Phase is shown on
         Contract Schedule II under Maximum Number of Funds. The Funds available during the Annuity Phase might
         not be the same as those available during the Accumulation Phase.
 
9.06 Fixed Annuity Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate
 
         For a fixed Annuity, the interest rate will never be less than the minimum guaranteed rate shown on Contract
         Schedule II under Fixed Annuity Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate.
 
9.07 Variable Annuity Assumed Annual Net Return Rate Election
 
         If a variable Annuity is elected, the initial Annuity payment for the option elected will reflect the assumed
         annual net return rate of 3.5%. If subsequent Annuity payments are to remain level, the Separate Account
         must earn this rate, plus enough to cover the mortality and expense risk charge shown on Contract Schedule
         II under Daily Charges to the Separate Account plus any applicable administrative charge.
 
9.08 Variable Annuity Transfers
 
         If a variable Annuity is elected, the Contract Holder, you, or Contract or Plan beneficiary, as applicable, may
         request that we Transfer all or a portion of the amount allocated to a Fund to any other available Fund.
         Transfer requests must be expressed as a percentage of the allocation among the Funds on which the
         variable payment is based. The number of Transfers allowed each calendar year is shown on Contract
         Schedule II under Number of Annual Transfers Among Funds. We reserve the right to allow additional
         Transfers. Transfers are effective as of the next Valuation Date following our receipt of a Transfer request in
         Good Order at our Home Office.
 
9.09 Fund Annuity Units
 
         The number of Fund Annuity units is based on the amount of the first variable Annuity payment which is equal
         to:  
 
           (a) The portion of the Individual Account value (minus any applicable Premium Tax) used to purchase a
    variable Annuity; divided by
 
           (b) One thousand; multiplied by
 
           (c) The payment rate for the option chosen.
 
         Such amount, or portion of the variable payment, will be divided by the appropriate Fund's, or Funds', Annuity
         unit value (see 9.10) on the tenth Valuation Date before the due date of the first payment to determine the
         number of Fund Annuity units. The number of each Fund's Annuity units remains fixed unless changed by a
         subsequent Fund Transfer or if the Annuity option provides for a change in units (i.e., under life income for
         two annuitants option after the first death). Each future payment is equal to the sum of the products of each
         Fund's Annuity unit value multiplied by the appropriate number of units. The Fund Annuity unit value on the
         tenth Valuation Date before the payment due date is used.
 
9.10 Fund Annuity Unit Value
 
         For any Valuation Date, a Fund's Annuity unit value is equal to:
 
           (a) The Annuity unit value for the prior Valuation Date; multiplied by
 
           (b) The Annuity net return factor (see 9.11) for the current Valuation Date; multiplied by
 
           (c) The factor for an assumed annual net return rate of 3.5% which is 0.9999058.
 
         The dollar value of a Fund Annuity unit and the amount of a variable Annuity payment may increase or
         decrease due to investment gain or loss. We will not change the payment amount due to changes in
         mortality, expense results, or the administrative charge.

9.11 Fund Annuity Net Return Factor
 
         The Annuity net return factor is used to compute all variable Annuity payments for any Fund.
 
         The net return factor(s) for each Fund is equal to 1.0000000 plus the net return rate.
 
         The net return rate equals:
 
    [a - b - c]
    ------------- - e
    d
 
         Where:  
 
           a is the value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account on the current Valuation Date;
           b is the value of the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account on the prior Valuation Date;
           c is taxes or provisions for taxes, if any, on the Separate Account (with any federal income tax liability
    offset by foreign tax credits to the extent allowed);
           d is the total value of the accumulation units and Annuity units of the Separate Account on the prior
    Valuation Date;
           e is Separate Account daily charges for mortality and expense risk and a daily administrative charge as
    shown on Contract Schedule II under Daily Charges to the Separate Account.
 
         A net return rate may be more or less than 0%. The value of a share of a Fund is equal to the net assets of
         the Fund divided by the number of shares outstanding.
 
9.12 Death Benefit During the Annuity Phase
 
         The Contract Holder or you, as applicable, must name a beneficiary for the Annuity Phase. Unless not
         allowed by the Plan, or restricted by the Contract Holder, or you, as applicable, the beneficiary may name a
         beneficiary.
 
         If an Annuitant(s) dies, any remaining guaranteed payments continue to the beneficiary. Payments are made
         at least as rapidly as provided by the option in effect at the death of the Annuitant. Annuity payments to a
         beneficiary may not extend beyond (1) the life of the beneficiary, or (2) any period certain greater than the
         beneficiary's life expectancy as determined by the Code.
 
         The beneficiary may also elect a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of any remaining payments.
 
         The interest rate used to determine the first Annuity payment is used to calculate the present value. The
         present value is determined as of the next Valuation Date following our receipt of acceptable proof of death
         and a written claim for the death benefit.
 
         Unless not allowed by the Plan or restricted by the Contract Holder, or you, as applicable, if the beneficiary
         dies while receiving payments, the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments is paid in a lump-
         sum to the beneficiary's beneficiary or to the beneficiary's estate.
 
9.13 Charges to the Separate Account
 
         During the Annuity Phase, we may deduct a mortality and expense risk charge from the Individual Account
         value invested in the Separate Account. In addition, we reserve the right to impose an administrative charge.
 
         The maximum charges to the Separate Account are shown on Contract Schedule II under Daily Charges to
         the Separate Account. If applicable, the charges are deducted daily.
