WAIVER OF SURRENDER CHARGES FOR HOME HEALTH CARE QUALIFYING EVENT

This rider is attached to and made a part of this Policy. Where there is a conflict between the provisions in this rider and those of this Policy, the rider provisions will control. Capitalized Terms used but not defined in this rider have the meaning set forth in this Policy.

Receipt of amounts paid pursuant to the terms of this rider may be subject to a 10% penalty tax in addition to any income taxes due. You should consult with your personal tax advisor before requesting a partial withdrawal, surrendering your Policy, or exercising this rider.

For purposes of this rider, the term “benefit,” means the waiver of any Surrender Charges that may apply under this Policy provided the terms of this rider are met. The use of the term “benefit” in this rider shall not be construed as a benefit (or incidental benefit) offered under (i) a plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”); (ii) an arrangement either described under Section 403(b) of the Code or subject to Section 4975 of the Code; or (iii) an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The benefit described in this rider is only available on policies where any Owner(s) has attained his/her seventy-sixth (76th) birthday on the Policy Date. If the Owner(s) is not a natural person, this restriction and the rider benefit are based on the age of the Annuitant.

During the first Policy Year the Owner(s) (or Annuitant, if applicable) is ineligible to receive the rider benefit, whether or not the Qualifying Event occurs during this period.
