SECTION 1: DEFINITIONS
Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate: The minimum Participation Rate applicable to Indexed Accounts available
under this endorsement.
Buffer Plus Rate: A rate added to the Index Return at the end of an Interest Term if the Index Return is negative, or the
minimum Adjusted Index Return if the Index Return is positive or zero.
Cap: The maximum positive Adjusted Index Return that can be credited to an Indexed Account for an Interest Term.
Participation Rate: A percentage that can be applied to the Index Return for an Interest Term as specified in the
Crediting Method.
SECTION 2: OVERVIEW
We will declare a Participation Rate for each Interest Term. We may also declare a Cap for a given Interest Term if the
Participation Rate is equal to the Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate. If the Indexed Account will have a Cap for the
Interest Term, we will declare the Cap prior to the beginning of the Interest Term.
If both a Participation Rate and a Cap apply during a given Interest Term, at the end of the Interest Term we apply the
Participation Rate to the Index Return first and then apply the Cap.
Initial Participation Rates and initial Caps shown above are applicable for the initial Interest Term only. Subsequent
Participation Rates and Caps are subject to change for each subsequent Interest Term and may differ from the
Participation Rate and Cap used for new Contracts. Subsequent Participation Rates will never be less than the
Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate. Subsequent Caps, if applicable, will never be less than the Buffer Plus Rate.
The Indexed Account Charge and Buffer Plus Rate stated above for each respective Indexed Account will not change
for the life of the Contract.
SECTION 3: CREDITING METHOD
The Crediting Method applicable to the Indexed Account(s) shown above is the Point to Point with Buffer Plus, Participation
Rate, and Cap method.
To calculate Indexed Interest, we first calculate the Index Return. The Index Return is equal to:
1.the Index Value on the date the current Interest Term ends; minus
2.the Index Value on the date the current Interest Term begins; divided by
3.the Index Value on the date the current Interest Term begins;
Next, we determine the Adjusted Index Return by applying the Buffer Plus Rate, Participation Rate, and Cap, if applicable:
If the Index Return is positive or zero:
The Adjusted Index Return is equal to:
the Buffer Plus Rate, plus
the Index Return in excess of the Buffer Plus Rate, if any, multiplied by the Participation Rate, with
the result not to exceed the Cap, if applicable
If the Index Return is negative:
The Adjusted Index Return is equal to the Index Return plus the Buffer Plus Rate.
The Adjusted Index Return is then multiplied by the Indexed Account’s Base Value on the last day of the Interest Term.
If an Indexed Account Charge applies, it is deducted from the Indexed Account Value after any interest is credited.
SECTION 4: INDEXED ACCOUNTS AVAILABLE AT THE END OF EACH CONTRACT YEAR
Before the end of each Contract Year, we will provide a notice that includes the fixed and Indexed Account options available
to you for allocation.
Your current Contract Year will determine the Interest Term of the Indexed Accounts available to you for allocation, as shown

Year, and existing Indexed Account options will be unavailable for additional allocations. You may transfer all or a portion of
your Fixed Account Value and/or Indexed Account Value among the Indexed Account options available subject to the
