You may make additional Premium payments at any time if you are no older than the Maximum Premium Age stated on your Specifications Pages subject to the Maximum Total Premium and Minimum Additional Premium stated on your Specifications Pages.

We may refuse any Premium that causes the total Premium paid to this Contract, or all in-force contracts with us having a common owner or annuitant to exceed the Maximum Total Premium stated on your Specifications Pages.

We may refuse to accept a Premium on a nondiscriminatory basis if we discontinue accepting additional Premiums into an Investment Option.

Allocation of Premiums — We allocate your Premiums to one or more of the Investment Options according to your allocation instructions in effect on the day we apply the Premium to your Contract.

You may allocate your Premiums among the Investment Options, subject to the Allocation and Transfer Rules stated on your Specifications Pages. You may change the allocation by Written Request subject to the Allocation and Transfer Rules. Allocation percentages must be in whole numbers (no fractions) and must total 100%.

Subaccounts — The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts, each of which may invest its assets in a separate class of shares of a designated investment company or a distinct security, referred to as a Fund. The Subaccounts available on your Contract Date are stated on your Subaccount Specifications Page. Subject to any required approval by state or federal regulators, we may add, remove, combine, substitute or change Subaccounts and Funds.

Separate Account — The assets of the Separate Account are our property. The portion of the Separate Account’s assets equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the Separate Account will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct. We may transfer assets of the Subaccount in excess of the reserves and other liabilities with respect to the Subaccount to another subaccount or to our General Account.

Income gains and losses, whether realized and unrealized, from the assets of the Separate Account are credited to or charged against it without regard to our other income, gains, or losses. Assets are put in the Separate Account to support the Contract and other variable annuity contracts.

With respect to the Separate Account, we may take the following actions unless prohibited by law:

· Combine separate accounts, including the Separate Account, with any other separate account we own;

· Transfer assets of the Separate Account to another separate account we own, with the prior authorization of New York State Insurance Department;

· Register or deregister the Separate Account under the 1940 Act;

· Operate the Separate Account under the direction of a committee or discharge such a committee at any time;

· Operate the Separate Account in any other form permitted by law;

· Make any changes required by the 1940 Act or other federal securities laws;

· Make any changes necessary to maintain the status of the Contracts as annuities under the Tax Code;

· Make other changes required under federal or state law relating to annuities;

· Restrict or eliminate any voting rights of persons who have voting rights as to our Separate Account; and

· Operate our Separate Account or one or more of the Subaccounts by making direct investments or investing in any other form. If we do so, we may invest the assets of our Separate Accounts or one or more of the Subaccounts in any legal investments.

If any of these actions result in a material change in the Subaccounts, we will provide Prior Written Notice to you of such change. If you have Account Value in a Subaccount that is materially affected, you may provide Written Request to Transfer the Account Value from that Subaccount to another Subaccount in the Separate Account. Any such Transfer will be an Unrestricted Transfer.

Unit Values — Assets of the Subaccounts will be valued, and Unit Values computed, on each Business Day to reflect the investment performance of the Funds during the Valuation Period, and the daily Separate Account Charge. The Unit Value computation is stated on your Specifications Pages.

Purchase and Redemption of Units — Premiums allocated to, and Transfers into, a Subaccount purchase Units in that Subaccount, using the Unit Value next computed after we receive the Premium in Good Order at our Administrative Office.

Units will be redeemed for partial withdrawals, surrenders, Transfers out of a Subaccount, purchase of an Annuity Option, and to pay the following fees and charges, if applicable: the Contract Fee, Transfer Fees, Withdrawal Charges and Premium Tax. Units will be redeemed using the Unit Value next computed after we receive all requirements for the transaction in Good Order at our Administrative Office.

Minimum Account Value — If your Account Value is less than the Minimum Account Value stated on your Specifications Pages and you have not paid a Premium within the Minimum Account Value Period stated on your Specifications Pages, we may cancel your Contract and pay you the Account Value. We will provide you with Prior Written Notice, during which you may pay additional Premiums.

Surrender and Withdrawal Provisions

Prior to the Annuity Date, you may surrender the Contract or withdraw part of the Account Value by Written Request, subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions set forth in the Contract. We are not responsible for the tax consequences of any surrender or partial withdrawal.

Surrender — Prior to the Annuity Date, you may surrender your Contract by Written Request and receive the Surrender Value. We will require the return of this Contract or a signed lost contract affidavit with your Written Request.

Partial Withdrawals — Prior to the Annuity Date, you may withdraw part of the Account Value by Written Request. The partial withdrawal amount requested must be at least the Minimum Withdrawal Amount stated on your Specifications Pages. Your remaining Account Value must be at least the Minimum Account Value After Partial Withdrawal stated on your Specifications Pages after (i) any partial withdrawal greater than the Free Withdrawal Amount (defined in the Charges and Deductions Provisions of the Contract), or (ii) withdrawal of an amount greater than the required minimum distribution for this Contract only (as defined by the Tax Code). You will receive the amount of the partial withdrawal you requested less applicable tax withholding; however, your Account Value will be reduced by the amount requested, plus any applicable Withdrawal Charge and Premium Tax. Unless you request otherwise, the partial withdrawal will be taken from your Investment Options in the proportion that the value of each Investment Option bears to the Account Value.

Charges and Deductions Provisions

Contract Fee — We may assess the Contract Fee, as stated on your Specifications Pages, each Contract Year. We will waive this fee if, at the time the fee is due, you meet the Requirement for Contract Fee Waiver stated on your Specifications Pages. We will deduct the fee from each Investment Option in the proportion that the value of the Investment Option bears to the Account Value. Upon surrender, payment under the Minimum Account Value provision of the Contract, application of your Account Value to an Annuity Option, or on the Death Benefit Date, the Contract Fee will be assessed for the portion of the Contract Year your Contract has been in effect.

Separate Account Charge — We will assess a daily Separate Account Charge from the Account Value in your Subaccounts that is equivalent to the annual amount stated on your Specifications Pages. This charge is for the mortality risk and expense risk we assume, administrative expense, distribution expense and other expenses, as well as for profit to the Company. We may increase or decrease the Separate Account Charge upon Prior Written Notice, but the charge will never exceed the Maximum Separate Account Charge stated on your Specifications Pages.

Withdrawal Charge — The Withdrawal Charge Percentage stated on your Specifications Pages is applied to each Premium and assessed at the time you make a withdrawal or surrender your Contract. Any Withdrawal Charge assessed will depend on how long the Premium to which the withdrawal is attributed has been in the Contract. For the purpose of determining the Withdrawal Charge, a withdrawal will be attributed to amounts in the following order: (1) any remaining Free Withdrawal Amount for the current Contract Year (except in the case of a surrender); (2) Premiums which are no longer subject to a Withdrawal Charge and have not yet been withdrawn; (3) Premiums subject to a Withdrawal Charge; and (4) any gain, interest, or other amount that is not considered a Premium. The total Withdrawal Charge assessed is equal to the sum of the separate Withdrawal Charges applied to each Premium. In no event will the total Withdrawal Charge exceed the sum of the separate Withdrawal Charge Percentages applied to each respective Premium. Premiums, when withdrawn, are deemed to be withdrawn on a first-in-first-out basis, with the oldest Premiums withdrawn first.

We will apply a Waiver of the Withdrawal Charge in the circumstances stated on your Specifications Pages.

Free Withdrawal Amount — The Free Withdrawal Amount is the amount you may withdraw each Contract Year without paying a Withdrawal Charge. Your Free Withdrawal Amount is the greater of (i) the Free Withdrawal Percentage stated on your Specifications Pages multiplied by your Account Value on the date of the withdrawal, minus any partial withdrawals taken during the current Contract Year, or (ii) the Free Withdrawal Percentage multiplied by your Account Value as of the immediately preceding Contract Anniversary, minus any prior withdrawals made during that Contract Year. In the first Contract Year, the Account Value referenced in item (ii) will be your initial Premium.

The Free Withdrawal Amount is not cumulative; any Free Withdrawal Amount not withdrawn in a Contract Year may not be carried forward to future Contract Years. The Free Withdrawal Amount applies only to partial withdrawals and does not apply to a surrender or an exchange under the Tax Code. The Free Withdrawal Amount does not reduce the Withdrawal Charge applicable to each Premium.

Transfer Fee — We may deduct a Transfer Fee for any Transfers among Subaccounts as stated on your Specifications Pages. Unrestricted Transfers, as stated on your Specifications Pages, are not subject to a Transfer Fee.

Premium Tax — Your state or other governmental authority may impose a Premium Tax. It may be imposed when a Premium is paid, on the Annuity Date, or at some other time. If required by your state or other governmental authority, we will assess the Premium Tax on your Contract.

Federal and State Income Tax Withholding — We will withhold federal and state income taxes from any payments due under the Contract as required by law.

Transfer Provisions

Prior to the Annuity Date, you may Transfer or reallocate Account Value between or among Investment Options by Written Request, subject to the Allocation and Transfer Rules stated on your Specifications Pages and Restrictions Associated with Fixed Accounts stated on your Fixed Account Specifications Page. Your request for Transfer to or from Subaccounts will be processed using the Unit Values next computed after we receive your Written Request.

Right to Modify Transfer Provisions - We may modify our Transfer procedures at any time if we determine that your right to Transfer may cause a disadvantage to other owners of the same class or would unfairly discriminate. Such modifications may be applied to Transfers to or from some or all of the Investment Options and may include the requirement of a minimum time period between each Transfer, a limit on the amount that you may Transfer at any one time, or a limit on the amount that you may Transfer over a specified period of time.

Beneficiary Provisions

The Beneficiary is the person or persons who will receive the Death Benefit if the Owner dies prior to the Annuity Date.

Joint Owners — If the Contract is owned by joint Owners, each of the Owner and joint Owner shall automatically be designated as the other’s first Beneficiary. No other Beneficiary designations will take effect if either the Owner or joint Owner survives.

Designation of Beneficiary — If an Owner or joint Owner survives, that survivor is the Beneficiary. If no Owner or joint Owner survives, other Beneficiary designations take effect. You may designate Beneficiaries (other than an Owner or joint Owner) as primary or contingent to indicate the order in which they will receive the Death Benefit. If you name two or more Beneficiaries of the same class (primary or contingent), they will share the Death Benefit equally unless you have requested a different division among them. You may designate a primary Beneficiary as irrevocable. Your initial Beneficiary designations are stated on your Specifications Pages.

If any Beneficiary dies before the Owner, that Beneficiary’s interest will go to the other Beneficiaries named, according to their respective interests. If you leave no surviving Beneficiary, your estate will receive the Death Benefit.

If the Beneficiary is a trust or trustee, we are not responsible for verifying the trust’s or trustee’s right to receive the Death Benefit, or for how the trustee distributes the proceeds. If we receive a Written Request indicating that the trust has been revoked or is not in effect before payment of the Death Benefit, the Death Benefit will be paid to any other Beneficiaries named, according to their respective interests.

Changing Your Beneficiary — You may change a Beneficiary designation, other than an irrevocable Beneficiary designation, at any time by providing a Written Request to us, subject to the terms of any assignment. If you have named an irrevocable Beneficiary, you may not add any new primary Beneficiary, or remove or change the irrevocable Beneficiary, without obtaining his or her written consent in a form acceptable to us. Once we have received it, the change will be effective on the date the Written Request is signed. We will not be liable for any payment made or other action taken by us before the change or addition was received by us at our Administrative Office. You cannot remove an Owner or joint Owner as Beneficiary other than through the change of ownership provisions of this Contract.

Death Benefit Provisions

If the Owner or joint Owner dies before the Annuity Date, we will pay the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary. If the Owner is a non-natural person, then the death of the Annuitant, rather than the Owner, will trigger payment of the Death Benefit.

Death Benefit Amount — The Death Benefit is the Account Value as of the Death Benefit Date.

Any part of the Account Value invested in the Subaccounts at the time we receive notice of the Owner’s death will remain invested in the Subaccounts until the Death Benefit Date. The Account Value invested in the Subaccounts is subject to investment risk, which is borne by the Beneficiary.

Form of Payment — If the Owner has not previously designated a form of payment of the Death Benefit, the Beneficiary must elect one of the following forms of payment:

1) A lump sum payment of the Death Benefit.

2) Deferral of payment of the Death Benefit for up to five years from the date of the death of the Owner or joint Owner.

3) Payment over the lifetime of the Beneficiary either (i) under an Annuity Option for the life of the Beneficiary, or (ii) over a period that does not exceed the life expectancy of the Beneficiary as defined by the Tax Code. Distribution must begin within one year of the date of death of Owner or joint Owner. We must receive the Beneficiary’s Written Request electing this option within the time period allowed by the Tax Code.

If we do not receive an election as to form of payment in Good Order at our Administrative Office, we will pay a lump sum payment of the Death Benefit amount due to the Beneficiary on the fifth anniversary of the date of death of the Owner or joint Owner.

The Company is not responsible for the tax consequences resulting from the Beneficiary’s election of a form of payment.

The Owner may designate that the Beneficiary is to receive the Death Benefit under an annuity for life. Such designation must be made, and may only be revoked, by the Owner by Written Request.

Spousal Continuation — If the surviving Owner or joint Owner on a jointly owned Contract, or the sole primary Beneficiary of a single-Owner Contract, is the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner, the spouse may elect to continue this Contract as the Owner instead of receiving the Death Benefit. If the Owner is a non-natural person, no spousal continuation is available.

If the surviving spouse succeeds to these rights, the Contract will remain in force, and the surviving spouse will be the Owner subject to the same rights, terms and conditions as were applicable to the deceased Owner, subject to any requirements of the Tax Code. If no Annuitant is living on the date Spousal Continuation is elected, the surviving spouse will become the Annuitant.

Pursuant to the Federal Defense of Marriage Act, same-sex marriages are not recognized for purposes of federal law. Therefore, the favorable tax treatment provided by federal tax law to an opposite-sex spouse is NOT available to a same-sex spouse. Same-sex spouses should consult a tax advisor prior to purchasing annuity products that provide benefits based upon status as a spouse, and prior to exercising any spousal rights under an annuity.

Multiple Beneficiaries — If multiple Beneficiaries are eligible to receive the Death Benefit, each Beneficiary’s portion will be separately accounted for, and the required election as to form of payment must be received from each Beneficiary. Once our processing requirements are satisfied for at least one of the Beneficiaries, we will divide the Death Benefit into distinct portions, one for each Beneficiary. Each Beneficiary’s portion of the Death Benefit will remain invested in the Subaccounts according to your then-current allocation and will fluctuate with the performance of the Funds until we receive that Beneficiary’s election as to form of payment in Good Order at our Administrative Office. If a Beneficiary elects any form of payment other than a lump sum, the Beneficiary’s portion of the Death Benefit will remain invested in the Subaccounts and will fluctuate with the performance of the Funds unless we are otherwise directed by the Beneficiary by Written Request.

Death of Owner — We should be notified immediately upon the death of an Owner. Upon receipt of this notice, no additional Premiums will be accepted and we will terminate any systematic transactions.

Death of Annuitant — You should notify us immediately upon the death of the Annuitant. If the Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Date and the Annuitant is not an Owner, the Owner will become the Annuitant. If the Owner is a non-natural person, we will treat the death of the Annuitant as the death of the Owner.

Annuity Benefit Provisions

Annuity Benefit — You may elect an Annuity Option at any time on or after the first Contract Anniversary and prior to the Maturity Date by providing Written Request. The amount applied to an Annuity Option is treated as a withdrawal from your Contract. After the date you elect an Annuity Option, you can no longer surrender, exchange or withdraw from this Contract and the Death Benefit no longer exists. All rights and benefits under this Contract, other than your annuity benefit, shall cease.

Annuity Date — The Annuity Date will be the Maturity Date stated on your Specifications Pages unless prior to the Maturity Date, you have elected an Annuity Option. If you are alive on the Maturity Date and the Contract is in effect, we will begin the income payments guaranteed under this Contract, unless you elect to receive the Account Value in a lump sum. We may offer Annuity Options in addition to the Guaranteed Annuity Options defined below.

Annuity Amount — On the Annuity Date, we will apply the Account Value to a Guaranteed Annuity Option. If Annuity Options other than the Guaranteed Annuity Options are available from us, you may choose to apply your Surrender Value or, if greater, 95% of your Account Value to another available Annuity Option.

If the Contract is subject to a partial assignment on the Annuity Date, we will pay the assignee’s share in one lump sum and apply the balance to your Annuity Option.

Income Payments — Income payments will be made under a Guaranteed Annuity Option as defined below, or if available, under another Annuity Option you choose. The guaranteed income payment amount under a Guaranteed Annuity Option is based on the Annuity Table and the Annuity Payout Interest Rate stated on your Specifications Pages, and depends on the Annuitant’s age, which is subject to an Adjustment to Age stated on your Specification Pages, and the Annuitant’s sex (if permissible). If you do not choose one of the Guaranteed Annuity Options, Guaranteed Annuity Option 1 will be used.

Income payments will be paid to you unless you designate another payee. If you die on or after the Annuity Date, any remaining payments must be made at least as rapidly as before the Owner’s death.

Each payment must be at least the Minimum Annuity Payment amount stated on your Specifications Pages. We may change the number of payments we make in a year such that each payment is at least the Minimum Annuity Payment amount, but we will not make payments less frequently than annually.

If no Premiums have been received by us for a period of three years and either (i) your Account Value is less than the Minimum Account Value stated on your Specifications Pages, or (ii) the Income Payments under Guaranteed Annuity Option 1 would be less than Guaranteed Minimum Monthly Annuity Payment stated on your Specifications Pages, we may, at our option, terminate the Contract and pay you in cash the present value of the annuity benefit calculated on the basis of the Annuity Table and the Annuity Payout Interest Rate stated on your Specifications Pages.

Once income payments begin, no changes can be made to the Annuity Option or the income payments.

Your income payments will not be less than what would be provided by applying the greater of your Surrender Value or 95% of your Account Value to purchase a single premium immediate annuity contract at then current purchase rates offered by the Company at the same time to the same class of Annuitants.

Guaranteed Annuity Option 1 — Payments for Life with a 10 Year Guaranteed Period — Equal monthly payments shall be made for 10 years and thereafter during the life of the person on whose life payments are based.

Guaranteed Annuity Option 2 — Payments for Joint and Survivor Life with a 10 Year Guaranteed Period — Equal monthly payments shall be made for 10 years and thereafter during the life of two designated persons on whose lives the payments are based. After 10 years, upon the death of either person, payments will continue until the death of the survivor.

Adjustment to Age — To determine the Adjustment to Age, we will subtract the Age Setback shown on your Specifications Pages from the Annuitant’s actual age.

General Provisions

Entire Contract — The Contract (including your Specifications Pages) and any amendments, endorsements, riders (including rider specifications pages) make up the entire Contract between you and us.

Report — Prior to the Annuity Date, we will provide a report to you at least once each year. The report will show the beginning and ending date of the report period. The report will provide your Account Value at the beginning and at the end of the current report period, amounts credited and deducted from your Account Value identified by type, and the Surrender Value at the end of the current report period. The report will contain other information if required by law. Additional copies of the most recent Report may be obtained by the Owner upon Written Request. A fee may be charged, which will be no more than the Maximum Charge for Additional Report stated on your Specifications Pages.

Modification of Contract — Any change in the Contract must be in writing and signed by the Company’s President and Secretary. No other person has the authority to change or waive any Contract provision. We may amend this Contract from time to time to comply with applicable state or federal law or regulation or to preserve the status of this Contract as an annuity. No such change will be made without the prior approval of the New York State Insurance Department.

Written Requests — A Written Request will not take effect until we have received it in our Administrative Office. We are not liable for actions taken by us or payments made before the Written Request was received by us at our Administrative Office.

Incontestable — We will not contest this Contract.

Incorrect Age or Sex — If the age or sex of the person on whose life payments are based has been misstated, we will adjust all benefits to those that the amount applied would have purchased for the correct age and sex. Any overpayments we have made will be charged against subsequent payments. Any amounts we owe as a result of underpayment will be paid in a lump sum. Interest in the amount of 1% will be either charged or credited on overpayments or underpayments, as applicable.

Conformity with State Laws — This Contract will be interpreted under the laws of the state in which it is issued for delivery. Paid-up annuity values, Surrender Value and Death Benefit will not be less than the minimum required by the laws of that state where the contract is issued for delivery.

Protection of Proceeds — All payments under the Contract will be exempt from the claims of creditors and legal process to the extent permitted by law. No payment will be transferred, assigned or withdrawn before it becomes payable unless we agree.

Proof of Facts — We may ask any person claiming the right to payments for reasonable proof satisfactory to us of such person’s right to payment. Any payment we make relying on that proof discharges us from any obligation to make that payment to another person. We will require proof of the date of birth of the person on whose life payments are based. We may require proof that such person is alive.

Deferral of Payment — We may delay payments or Transfers from the Separate Account under certain circumstances. These include:

1) a closing of the New York Stock Exchange other than on a regular holiday or weekend;

2) a trading restriction by the Securities and Exchange Commission;

3) an emergency declared by the Securities and Exchange Commission; or

4) when required to withhold the payment by any other applicable law or regulation.

We may defer payment of withdrawals or surrenders from the General Account for up to six months.

Assignment — Unless your Contract is a Qualified Contract, you may assign or transfer your ownership rights. Your rights will be subject to the assignment. We are not responsible for the validity or tax consequences of the assignment.

An assignment of this Contract must be provided to our Administrative Office. Once we have received it, the change will be effective on the date the assignment is signed, unless otherwise specified. We are not liable for actions taken by us or payments made before the assignment was received by us at our Administrative Office. We may restrict the assignment where restrictions are for purposes of satisfying applicable laws or regulations (including but not limited to insurable interest laws).

Change of Ownership — You may change the Owner by Written Request. Once we have received it, the change will be effective on the date the Written Request is signed. We are not liable for any actions taken by us or payment made by us before the change was received by us at our Administrative Office. A change of ownership does not change the existing designated Annuitant or Beneficiary. The new Owner may request a change of Beneficiary, other than a joint Owner or an irrevocable Beneficiary. We may restrict the change of ownership where restrictions are for purposes of satisfying applicable laws or regulations (including but not limited to insurable interest laws).

INVESTMENT SECTION
Allocation and Transfer Rules:		· Only one allocation can be in effect at any one time in addition to an allocation to the Fixed Account. · Any allocation change will trigger a 60-day waiting period before another allocation change can occur. · Your first allocation change is allowed 60 days after the Contract Date. · Transfers are made as an allocation change.

		· Allocations and Transfers not subject to the 60-day waiting period are: · Transfers allowed under the Subaccount section of the Contract · Transfers made due to a material change in the Separate Account as allowed in the Separate Account section of the Contract · Transfers made when calculating and paying a Death Benefit · Transfers made from the Fixed Account to Subaccounts according to your then current allocation.

Unrestricted Transfers: Not applicable

Unit Value Computation:

The Unit Value of each Subaccount for each Business Day is equal to the Unit Value for the previous Business Day, multiplied by the net investment factor for that Subaccount on the current Business Day. We determine a net investment factor for each Subaccount as follows:

(1) Determine the value of the assets attributable to the Subaccount at the end of the current Business Day;

(2) Charge or credit for any taxes or amounts set aside as a reserve for taxes;

(3) Divide this amount by the value of the assets attributable to the Subaccount at the end of last Business Day that a Unit Value was determined;

(4) Subtract the Separate Account Charge for each calendar day since the last day that a Unit Value was determined (for example, a Monday calculation will include charges for Saturday and Sunday).

ANNUITY BENEFIT SECTION
Minimum Annuity Payment:		$100
Guaranteed Minimum Monthly Annuity Payment		$20
Annuity Table		Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with 100% of Projection Scale G for both males and females. Projection Scale G factors are applied to each mortality rate beginning with the Annuitant’s age (subject to the Adjustment to Age) on the date the Annuity Option is elected.

Annuity Payout Interest Rate:		1.00%

Adjustment to Age

Year Income Payments Begin		Age Setback

2011 – 2019		1 year
2020 – 2029		2 years
2030 – 2039		3 years
2040 – 2049		4 years
2050 and later		5 years

For example, in the year 2028, we will subtract two years from the actual age, so the age 65 factor will apply to a 67-year old person instead of the age 67 factor.
