PERFORMANCE LOCK BENEFIT RIDER

 

This Rider is made a part Your Contract to which it is attached and is effective on the Contract Effective Date referenced on the Rider Data Section. All terms capitalized, but not defined herein, have the meaning prescribed to them in Your Contract. In case of a conflict between the terms of this Rider and the terms of the Contract, the terms of this Rider will control.

 

The purpose of this rider is to provide an option to lock in the Indexed Strategy Value for any Indexed Strategy listed in the Rider Data Section.

 

DEFINITIONS

Performance Lock Date – The Business Day on which We process a Performance Lock.

 

PERFORMANCE LOCK BENEFIT

Performance Lock allows You to lock in the Strategy Value at the Interim Value on the Performance Lock Date. Following the Performance Lock Date, any Strategy Value for which Performance Lock has been exercised will remain in the Crediting Rate Strategy until the Contract Anniversary as described in the Changes to Your Contract section below.

 

After the Performance Lock Date, Your Strategy Value will be reduced by any amount withdrawn and by any rider charge assessed, including any applicable Withdrawal Charges and taxes payable by Us that were not previously deducted.

 

Once a Performance Lock has been exercised, You will no longer participate in any gains or losses associated with changes to the Interim Value.

 

When can I exercise a Performance Lock?

Performance Lock may be exercised for any, all, or none of the Indexed Crediting Rate Strategies shown on the Rider Data Section, for which there are current allocations.

 

A Performance Lock may be exercised at different times for each Indexed Crediting Rate Strategy during their respective Strategy Periods. A Performance Lock can only be exercised once per Strategy Period for each Indexed Crediting Rate Strategy. You may choose to exercise Performance Lock again for the new Strategy Period.

 

Performance Lock may only be exercised for the entire Indexed Strategy Value.

 

How do I exercise a Performance Lock?

The following methods to exercise Performance Lock are available to You. We reserve the right to discontinue offering any method of exercising Performance Lock at any time, however, at least one method of exercising Performance Lock will always be available to You.

 

Submitting a Request for a Performance Lock

Our Administrative Office must approve Your Request to exercise Performance Lock.

 

If Your Request to exercise Performance Lock is received on a non-Business Day or after close of a

 

ICC24R-2028Page  1[reserved]

 

 

Business Day, the Request to exercise a Performance Lock will be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Any Performance Lock Requests must be received and approved by Us by on or before the fourth to last Business Day of the Strategy Period to be effective for that Strategy Period.

 

The Performance Lock Date will be the Business Day Your Request to exercise a Performance Lock is received. Since the Interim Value is calculated at the end of the Business Day that we receive Your Request, You may lock in an Interim Value that is either less or more than it was at the time You submitted Your Request.

 

Once You Request to exercise a Performance Lock for a given Indexed Crediting Rate Strategy, it cannot be reversed for the Strategy Period.

 

Setting a threshold to exercise Performance Lock

You may set a separate threshold for each Indexed Crediting Rate Strategy. On each Business Day on or prior to the fourth to last Business Day of the Strategy Period, We will compare the threshold to the Interim Value calculated at the end of that Business Day divided by the Strategy Base Value minus 1. If the result of that calculation is greater than or equal to the threshold target set for that Indexed Crediting Rate Strategy, this will trigger a Performance Lock.

 

The Performance Lock Date will be the Business Day on which any threshold was triggered. We must receive and approve Your Request to set a threshold by 4:00 pm Eastern time on that Business Day. If Your Request to set a threshold is received on a non-Business Day or after close of a Business Day, the Request to set a threshold will be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

 

You must set, cancel, or change Your threshold prior to a Performance Lock being triggered. Once a threshold is reached or exceeded, Performance Lock will be exercised and cannot be changed for that Strategy Period.

 

CHANGES TO YOUR CONTRACT

On the Performance Lock Date, the following changes will be made to any Indexed Crediting Rate Strategy upon which Performance Lock has been exercised.

 

On the Performance Lock Date, the Strategy Value equals the Interim Value calculated at the end of the Business Day. The Strategy Value will remain in the Indexed Crediting Rate Strategy.

 

On any day after the Performance Lock Date until the end of the Strategy Period, the Strategy Value equals:

(1)The Strategy Value at the end of the previous day; minus
(2)Any Withdrawals attributable to the Strategy Value since the previous day; minus
(3)Any Withdrawal Charges, applicable rider charges, taxes or fees attributable to the Strategy Value since the previous day.

 

On the next Contract Anniversary after a Performance Lock was exercised, the Strategy Value may be allocated as indicated in the “How do I reallocate?” section of Your Contract.

 

RIDER TERMINATION

This Rider will terminate on the date on which the earliest of the following events occurs:

(1)The Termination of Your Contract for any reason, including the full surrender of Your Contract or the payment of a Death Benefit;
(2)The commencement of payments under an Annuitization Option.
