RIDER FEE:

 

Quarterly Rider Fee Percentage*: [0.1875%]

 

*AnnualizedFee of [0.75%/4]

 

On each Contract Quarter Anniversary during the Specified Guarantee Period, the Rider Fee amount is calculated as the Quarterly Rider Fee Percentage shown above, multiplied by the Net Purchase Payments received as of the Contract Quarter when the Rider Fee is calculated. The resulting Rider Fee amount is deducted from Contract Value beginning on the 1st Contract Quarters following the Rider Effective Date and each Contract Quarter thereafter up to and including the Benefit Date or the date when this Rider is terminated, if earlier than the Benefit Date.

 

The Rider Fee amount deducted from Contract Value will not exceed the lesser of 1) and 2), where:

 

1)  Is the Rider Fee amount calculated on that Contract Quarter Anniversary; and

 

2)  Is the Contract Value as of the same Contract Quarter Anniversary.

 

If You take a total Withdrawal of Your Contract Value or cancel this Rider before the Benefit Date and before the end of a Contract Quarter, We will assess a pro-rata charge for the Rider Fee. The pro-rata charge is calculated by multiplying the Rider Fee by the number of days between the date when the prior Rider Fee was last deducted and the date of the total Withdrawal or cancellation, divided by the number of days between the prior and the next Contract Quarter Anniversaries. After this final Rider Fee is deducted, You will no longer be charged a Rider Fee.
