Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company
   Separate Account B of Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company
   
   Deferred Combination Variable and Fixed Annuity Prospectus
 
Architect®
May 1, 2020
This prospectus describes Architect®, a group and individual deferred combination variable annuity contract (the “Contract” or the “Contracts”) issued by Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company (“VIAC,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) through Separate Account B (the “Separate Account”). The Contract was available in connection with certain retirement plans that qualified for special federal income tax treatment (“qualified Contracts”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), as well as those that did not qualify for such treatment (“nonqualified Contracts”). We no longer offer this Contract for sale to new purchasers.
The Contract provides a means for you, the Contract Owner, to allocate your premium payments and Premium Credits in one or more subaccounts, each which invests in a single investment portfolio (hereinafter referred to as a “fund”). You may also allocate premium payments and Premium Credits to our available Fixed Interest Allocation options with guaranteed interest periods. Your Contract Value will vary daily to reflect the investment performance of the fund(s) you select and any interest credited to your allocations in the Fixed Interest Allocation options. For Contracts sold in some states, not all Fixed Interest Allocations or subaccounts are available. The funds currently available under your Contract are listed on the next page.
This Contract has a rider offering the opportunity for a credit on your premium. The Premium Credit rider is available for an additional charge. The charges for a Contract with the Premium Credit rider may be higher than a Contract without it, and the amount of the Premium Credit may be more than offset by the additional charge for the Premium Credit rider.
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), paper copies of the shareholder reports for the funds available through your Contract will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Company. Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Company electronically by writing to Customer Service at P.O. Box 9271, Des Moines, Iowa 50306-9271 or calling (800) 366-0066.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. You can inform the Company that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by 1-800-283-3427. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds in which you choose to invest.
Replacing an existing annuity with the Contract may not be beneficial to you. Your existing annuity may be subject to fees or penalties on surrender, and the Contract may have new charges.
This prospectus provides information that you should know before investing and should be kept for future reference. A Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), dated May 1, 2020, has been filed with the SEC. It is available without charge upon request. To obtain a copy of this document, write to Customer Service at P.O. Box 9271, Des Moines, Iowa 50306-9271 or call (800) 366-0066, or access the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). When looking for information regarding the Contracts offered through this prospectus, you may find it useful to use the number assigned to the registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933. This number is 333-133944. The table of contents of the SAI is on the last page of this prospectus and the SAI is made part of this prospectus by reference.
The SEC has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Allocations to a subaccount investing in a fund are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by any bank or by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. The Contract is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.
We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sold the Contract. See “OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS – Selling the Contract” for further information about the amount of compensation we pay.

This fund employs a managed volatility strategy. See the “Funds with Managed Volatility Strategies” section for more information about managed volatility funds.
2
This fund is structured as a “fund of funds.” Funds offered in a “fund of funds” structure may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. See “THE FUNDS” section for more information.

Optional rider charges are expressed as a percentage, rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent. The basis for an optional rider charge is sometimes a charge base, benefit base or contract value, as applicable. Optional rider charges are deducted from the contract value in your subaccount allocations (and/or your Fixed Interest Allocations if there is insufficient contract value in the subaccounts).
11
The charge depends on the surrender charge schedule for your Contract, is a percentage of average daily assets in each subaccount and is deducted daily. With the standard surrender charge schedule, the charge lasts for your first seven contract years. With the optional surrender charge schedule, the charge lasts for your first four contract years.
12
The charge for this rider is deducted quarterly. For more information about how the MGIB Charge Base is determined, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS — Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider (the “MGIB rider”) — Rider Charge.”
13
The LifePay Plus Base is calculated based on premium, excluding any premium credits, if this rider is elected at contract issue. The LifePay Plus Base is calculated based on contract value, excluding any premium credits applied during the preceding 36 months, if this rider is added after the contract issue. The charge for this rider can increase upon the Annual Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, subject to the maximum charge. We promise not to increase the charge for your first five contract years. For more information about the LifePay Plus Base and Annual Ratchet, please see “CHARGES AND FEES — Optional Rider Charges —LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (LifePay Plus) Rider Charge” and “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS —LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“LifePay Plus”) Rider —Annual Ratchet.
14
The Joint LifePay Plus Base is calculated based on premium, excluding any premium credits, if this rider is elected at contract issue. The Joint LifePay Plus Base is calculated based on contract value, excluding any premium credits applied during the preceding 36 months, if this rider is added after contract issue. The charge for this rider can increase upon the Annual Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, subject to the maximum charge. We promise not to increase the charge for your first five contract years. For more information about the Joint LifePay Plus Base and Annual Ratchet, please see “CHARGES AND FEES — Optional Rider Charges —Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (Joint LifePay Plus) Rider Charge” and “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS —Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider—Annual Ratchet.”

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total annual fund operating expenses that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. The minimum and maximum expenses listed below are based on expenses for the funds’ most recent fiscal year ends without taking into account any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements that may apply. Expenses of the funds may be higher or lower in the future. More detail concerning each fund’s fees and expenses is contained in the prospectus for the fund.

Examples
These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts.
The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The costs reflected are the maximum charges for the Contract with the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit and the most expensive combination of riders possible. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assume the maximum fund fees and expenses. Excluded are premium taxes and any transfer charges.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Compensation is paid for the sale of the Contracts. For information about this compensation, see “OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS – Selling the Contract.
Fees Deducted by the Funds
Fund Fee Information. The fund prospectuses show the investment advisory fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses including service fees (if applicable) charged annually by each fund. Fund fees are one factor that impacts the value of a fund share. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for more information and to learn more about additional factors.
The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one fund company to another. For certain funds, some of this compensation may be paid out of 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the fund prospectuses. The Company may also receive additional compensation from certain funds for administrative, recordkeeping or other services provided by the Company to the funds or the funds’ affiliates. These additional payments may also be used by the Company to finance the costs associated with past distribution of the Contract. These additional payments are made by the funds or the funds’ affiliates to the Company and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fund fees and expenses. Please see “CHARGES AND FEES – Fund Expenses” for more information.
How Fees are Deducted. Fees are deducted from the value of the fund shares on a daily basis, which in turn affects the value of each subaccount that purchases fund shares.





15
No fund currently charges a redemption fee. For more information about redemption fees, please see “CHARGES AND FEES – Charges Deducted from the Contract Value – Redemption Fees.”

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Accumulation Unit
We use Accumulation Units to calculate the value of a Contract. Each subaccount of Separate Account B has its own Accumulation Unit value. The Accumulation Units are valued each business day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Their values may increase or decrease from day to day according to a Net Investment Factor, which is primarily based on the investment performance of the applicable fund in which the Subaccount invests. Shares in the funds are valued at their net asset value.
Tables showing the Accumulation Unit value history of each subaccount of Separate Account B available for investment under the Contract and the total investment value history of each such subaccount for a Contract with the lowest and highest combination of asset-based charges are presented in APPENDIX A. The numbers show the year-end unit values of each subaccount from the time premium payments were first received in the subaccounts under the Contract. Complete information is available in the SAI.
The Net Investment Factor
The Net Investment Factor is an index number that reflects certain charges under the Contract and the investment performance of the subaccount. The Net Investment Factor is calculated for each subaccount as follows:
(1)
We take the net asset value of the subaccount at the end of each business day;
(2)
We add to (1) the amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution declared for the subaccount and reinvested in such subaccount. We subtract from that amount a charge for our taxes, if any;
(3)
We divide (2) by the net asset value of the subaccount at the end of the preceding business day; and
(4)
We then subtract the applicable daily charges from the subaccount: the mortality and expense risk charge; the asset-based administrative charge; and any optional rider charges.
Calculations for the subaccounts are made on a per Accumulation Unit basis.
The Net Rate of Return equals the Net Investment Factor minus one.
Financial Statements
The statements of assets and liabilities, the statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the related notes to financial statements for Separate Account B and the financial statements and the related notes to financial statements for Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company are included in the SAI.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
Separate Account B was established as a separate account of the Company on July 14, 1988. It is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Separate Account B is a separate investment account used for our variable annuity contracts. We own all the assets in Separate Account B but such assets are kept separate from our other accounts.
Separate Account B is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one fund. Each fund has its own distinct investment objectives and policies. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, of a fund are credited to or charged against the corresponding subaccount of Separate Account B without regard to any other income, gains or losses of the Company. Assets equal to the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to each are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business of the Company. They may, however, be subject to liabilities arising from subaccounts whose assets we attribute to other variable annuity contracts supported by Separate Account B. If the assets in Separate Account B exceed the required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our general account. When we deduct the fees we charge for the Contract, these would constitute excess assets that we would transfer to the general account. We are obligated to pay all benefits and make all payments provided under the Contracts and will keep the Separate Account fully funded to cover such liabilities.
The other variable annuity contracts that invest in Separate Account B are not discussed in this prospectus. Separate Account B may also invest in other funds which are not available under your Contract. Under certain circumstances, we may make certain changes to the subaccounts. For more information, see “THE ANNUITY CONTRACT – Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Subaccounts and Other Changes.”

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
We are an Iowa stock life insurance company, which was originally organized in 1973 under the insurance laws of Minnesota. Prior to September 1, 2019, we were known as Voya Insurance and Annuity Company. Prior to September 1, 2014, we were known as ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company. Prior to January 1, 2004, we were known as Golden American Life Insurance Company. On June 1, 2018 we became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of VA Capital Company LLC, an insurance holding company organized under Delaware law (“VA Capital”). Our direct parent company is Venerable Holdings, Inc. (“Venerable”). Before June 1, 2018, we were an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya”). The June 1, 2018, sale of the Company by Voya to VA Capital did not change the terms, features and benefits of your Contract.
Although we are a subsidiary of VA Capital and Venerable, neither VA Capital nor Venerable are responsible for the obligations under the Contract. The obligations under the Contract are solely our responsibility.
We are authorized to sell insurance and annuities in all states, except New York, and the District of Columbia. We are engaged in the business of administering insurance and annuities, and we no longer sell or issue any new insurance or annuities. Our principal office is located at 699 Walnut Street, Suite 1350, Des Moines, Iowa 50309-3942.
Product Regulation. Our products are subject to a complex and extensive array of state and federal tax, securities and insurance laws, and regulations, which are administered and enforced by a number of governmental and self-regulatory authorities. Specifically, U.S. federal income tax law imposes requirements relating to nonqualified annuity product design, administration, and investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of such products under the Internal Revenue Code. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” for further discussion of some of these requirements. Failure to administer certain nonqualified Contract features (for example, contractual Annuity Start Dates in nonqualified annuities) could affect such beneficial tax treatment. In addition, state and federal securities and insurance laws impose requirements relating to insurance and annuity product design, offering and distribution, and administration. Failure to meet any of these complex tax, securities, or insurance requirements could subject the Company to administrative penalties, unanticipated remediation, or other claims and costs.

THE FUNDS
You will find more detailed information about the funds currently available under your Contract in “APPENDIX B – The Funds.” Please refer to the fund prospectuses for additional information and read them carefully before investing. Fund prospectuses may be obtained, free of charge, by calling Customer Service at (800) 366-0066, by accessing the SEC’s website or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Branch. Consult with your investment professional to determine if the funds may be suited to your financial needs, investment time horizon and risk comfort level. You should periodically review these factors to determine if you need to change your investment strategy.
Selection of Underlying Funds
The underlying funds available through the Contract described in this prospectus are determined by the Company. When determining which underlying funds to make available, we may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the alignment of the investment objectives of an underlying fund with our hedging strategy, the strength of the adviser’s or subadviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying fund or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or subadvisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing and support services, or whether affiliates of the fund can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the Contracts. (For additional information on these arrangements, see “Revenue from the Funds.”) We review the funds periodically and may, subject to certain limits or restrictions, remove a fund or limit its availability to new investment if we determine that a fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria and/or if the fund has not attracted significant allocations under the Contract. We have included certain of the funds at least in part because they were managed or subadvised by our affiliates.
We do not recommend or endorse any particular fund and we do not provide investment advice.
Fund of Funds
Certain funds are designated as “fund of funds.” Funds offered in a fund of funds structure may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities. The fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each fund and its corresponding underlying fund or funds. These funds are identified in the list of available funds found on page 2 of this prospectus.

Funds with Managed Volatility Strategies
As described in more detail in the fund prospectuses, certain funds employ a managed volatility strategy that is intended to reduce the fund’s overall volatility and downside risk. Funds that employ a managed volatility strategy help us manage the risks associated with providing certain guarantees under the Contract. During rising markets, the hedging strategies employed to manage volatility could result in your Contract Value rising less than would have been the case if you had been invested in a fund with substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies that does not utilize a volatility management strategy. In addition, the cost of these hedging strategies may have a negative impact on investment performance. On the other hand, investing in funds with a managed volatility strategy may be helpful in a declining market with higher market volatility because the hedging strategy will reduce your equity exposure in such circumstances. In such cases, your Contract Value may decline less than would have been the case if you had not invested in funds with a managed volatility strategy. There is no guarantee that a managed volatility strategy can achieve or maintain the fund’s optimal risk targets, and the fund may not perform as expected. Funds that employ a managed volatility strategy are identified in the list of the available funds found on page 2 of this prospectus.
Possible Conflicts of Interest
If, due to differences in tax treatment or other considerations, the interests of Contract Owners of various contracts participating in the funds conflict, we, the Boards of Trustees or Directors of the funds, and any other insurance companies participating in the funds will monitor events to identify and resolve any material conflicts that may arise.
Restricted Funds
We may, with 30 days’ notice to you, designate any investment option as a Restricted Fund and limit the amount you may allocate or transfer to a Restricted Fund. We may also change the limitations on existing Contracts with respect to new premiums added to funds and with respect to new transfers to funds. We may establish any limitations, at our discretion, as a percentage of premium or Contract Value, or as a specified dollar amount, and change the limitation at any time. Currently, we have not designated any investment option as a Restricted Fund. If we designate an investment option as a Restricted Fund or set applicable limitations, such change will apply only to transactions made after the designation.
We limit your investment in the Restricted Funds on an aggregate basis for all Restricted Funds and for each individual Restricted Fund. Currently, we limit an investment in Restricted Funds to the following limitations: (1) no more than $999,999,999; and (2) no more than 30 percent of Contract Value. We may change these limits, in our discretion, for new contracts, premiums, transfers or withdrawals.
We monitor the aggregate and individual limits on investments in Restricted Funds for each transaction (e.g. premium payments, reallocations, withdrawals, dollar cost averaging). If the Contract Value in the Restricted Funds has increased beyond the applicable limit due to market growth, we will not require the reallocation or withdrawal of Contract Value from the Restricted Funds. However, if the Contract Value in the Restricted Funds exceeds the aggregate limit, if you take a withdrawal, it must come from either the Restricted Funds or proportionally from all investment options in which Contract Value is allocated, so that the percentage of Contract Value in the Restricted Funds following the withdrawal is less than or equal to the percentage of Contract Value in the Restricted Funds prior to the withdrawal.
We will allocate proportionally the portion of any premium payment that exceeds the limits with a Restricted Fund to your other investment option choices not designated as Restricted Funds, or to a specially designated subaccount if there are none (currently, the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio), unless you instruct us otherwise.
We will not permit a transfer to the Restricted Funds if it would increase the Contract Value in the Restricted Fund or in all Restricted Funds to more than the applicable limits set forth above. If the total amount of your requested transfer exceeds the applicable limits, we will inform your financial representative or you that we will not process any part of the transfer and that new instructions will be required. We will not limit transfers from Restricted Funds. If the multiple reallocations lower the percentage of total Contract Value in Restricted Funds, we will permit the reallocation even if the percentage of Contract Value in a Restricted Fund is greater than its limit.
Please see “WITHDRAWALS” and “TRANSFERS AMONG YOUR INVESTMENTS (EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICY)” in this prospectus for more information on the effect of Restricted Funds.

Covered Funds, Special Funds and Excluded Funds
For purposes of determining death benefits and benefits under the living benefit riders, we assign the investment options to one of three categories of funds. The categories are:
Covered Funds;
Special Funds; and
Excluded Funds.
Allocations to Covered Funds participate fully in all guaranteed benefits. Allocations to Special Funds could affect the death benefit and/or optional benefit rider guarantee that may otherwise be provided. Allocations to Excluded Funds do not participate in any guaranteed benefits, due to their potential for volatility. No investment options are currently designated as Excluded Funds.
Designation of investment options under these categories may vary by benefit. For example, we may designate an investment option a Special Fund for purposes of calculating a benefit under an optional benefit rider, but not a death benefit, or for calculating one death benefit and not another. We may, with 30 days’ notice to you, designate any investment option as a Special or Excluded Fund with respect to new premiums added to such investment option and also with respect to new transfers to such investment option. For more information about these categories of funds with a death benefit, please see “DEATH BENEFIT CHOICES – Death Benefit During the Accumulation Phase” and APPENDIX E for examples. These categories of funds also apply to the Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit rider. Please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider (the “MGIB rider”)” for more information.

CHARGES AND FEES
We deduct the Contract charges described below to compensate us for our costs and expenses, services provided, and risks assumed under the Contracts. We incur certain costs and expenses for distributing and administering the Contracts, including compensation and expenses paid in connection with sales of the Contracts, for paying the benefits payable under the Contracts and for bearing various risks associated with the Contracts. Some of the charges are for optional riders, so they are only deducted if you elect to purchase the rider. The amount of a Contract charge will not always correspond to the actual costs associated with the charge. For example, the surrender charge collected may not fully cover all of the distribution expenses incurred by us with the service or benefits provided. We expect to profit from the charges, including the mortality and expense risk charge and rider and benefit charges, and we may use such profits to finance the costs associated with past distribution of the Contract.
Charge Deduction Subaccount
You may elect to have all charges, except daily charges, against your Contract Value deducted directly from a single subaccount designated by the Company. Currently, we use the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio for this purpose. If you do not elect this option, or if the amount of the charges is greater than the amount in the designated subaccount, we will deduct the charges as discussed below. You may cancel this option at any time by sending notice to Customer Service in a form satisfactory to us.
Charges Deducted from the Contract Value
We deduct the following charges from your Contract Value:
Surrender Charge. We will deduct a surrender charge if you surrender your Contract or if you take a withdrawal in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount during either a four- or seven-year period from the date we receive and accept a premium payment. The Contract has a standard surrender charge schedule, which lasts seven years, and an optional four-year surrender charge schedule, available by rider for an additional charge (see below for more information about this additional charge). With the optional surrender charge schedule, you may only add the rider to your Contract at the time of issue.
We base the surrender charge on a percentage of each premium payment withdrawn. The surrender charge is based on the amount requested for withdrawal. The surrender charge is deducted from the Contract Value remaining after you have received the amount requested for withdrawal. This charge is intended to cover sales expenses that we have incurred. We may reduce or waive the surrender charge in certain situations. We will never charge more than the maximum surrender charge. The percentage of premium payments deducted at the time of surrender or excess withdrawal depends on the number of complete years that have elapsed since that premium payment was made. We determine the surrender charge as a percentage of each premium payment as follows:

Waiver of Surrender Charge for Extended Medical Care or Terminal Illness. We will waive the surrender charge in most states in the following events: (1) you begin receiving qualified extended medical care on or after the first Contract anniversary for at least 45 days during a 60-day period and we receive your request for the surrender or withdrawal, together with all required documentation at Customer Service during the term of your care or within 90 days after the last day of your care; or (2) you are first diagnosed by a qualified medical professional, on or after the first Contract anniversary, as having a qualifying terminal illness. We have the right to require an examination by a physician of our choice. If we require such an examination, we will pay for it. You are required to send us satisfactory written proof of illness. See your Contract for more information. The waiver of surrender charge may not be available in all states.
Free Withdrawal Amount. The Free Withdrawal Amount in any Contract Year is 10% of your Contract Value, including any Premium Credits, on the date of the withdrawal less any prior withdrawals during that Contract Year. The Free Withdrawal Amount does not constitute a withdrawal of premiums.
Surrender Charge for Excess Withdrawals. We will deduct a surrender charge for excess withdrawals, which may include a withdrawal you make to satisfy required minimum distribution requirements under the Tax Code. We consider a withdrawal to be an excess withdrawal when the amount you withdraw in any Contract Year exceeds the Free Withdrawal Amount. If any single withdrawal or sum of withdrawals exceeds the Free Withdrawal Amount, then you will incur a surrender charge on the excess portion, no matter that the withdrawal is a regular withdrawal or a systematic withdrawal. Premium taxes may also apply. We will deduct such charges from the Contract Value in proportion to the Contract Value in each subaccount or Fixed Interest Allocation from which the excess withdrawal was taken. In instances where the excess withdrawal equals the entire Contract Value in such subaccounts or Fixed Interest Allocations, we will deduct charges proportionately from all other subaccounts and Fixed Interest Allocations in which you are invested. Any withdrawal from a Fixed Interest Allocation more than 30 days before its maturity date will trigger a Market Value Adjustment. See APPENDIX C for more information.
For the purpose of calculating the surrender charge for an excess withdrawal: (1) we treat premiums as being withdrawn on a first-in, first-out basis; and (2) amounts withdrawn which are not considered an excess withdrawal are not considered a withdrawal of any premium payments. We have included an example of how this works in APPENDIX D. Although we treat premium payments as being withdrawn before earnings for purpose of calculating the surrender charge for excess withdrawals, the federal tax law treats earnings as withdrawn first.
Premium Taxes. We may charge for state and local premium taxes depending on your state of residence. These taxes can range from 0% to 3.5% of the premium payment. We have the right to change this amount to conform with changes in the law or if you change your state of residence.
We deduct the premium tax from your Contract Value or in the case of a living benefit rider, the benefit base (e.g., MGIB Charge Base or LifePay Plus Base), if exercised, on the Annuity Start Date. However, some jurisdictions impose a premium tax at the time initial and additional premiums are paid, regardless of when the annuity payments begin. In those states, we may defer collection of the premium taxes from your Contract Value and deduct it when you surrender the Contract, when you take an excess withdrawal or on the Annuity Start Date.
Administrative Charge. We deduct an annual administrative charge on each Contract anniversary. If you surrender your Contract prior to a Contract anniversary, we deduct an administrative charge when we determine the Cash Surrender Value payable to you. The charge is $40 per Contract. We waive this charge if your Contract Value is $100,000 or more at the end of a Contract Year or the total of your premium payments is $100,000 or more or under other conditions established by VIAC. We deduct the charge proportionately from all subaccounts in which you are invested. If there is no Contract Value in those subaccounts, we will deduct the charge from your Fixed Interest Allocations starting with the guaranteed interest periods nearest their maturity dates until the charge has been paid.

12


Transfer Charge. We currently do not deduct any charges for transfers made during a Contract Year. We have the right, however, to assess up to $25 for each transfer after the twelfth transfer in a Contract Year. The charge will not apply to any transfers due to the election of dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing.
Overnight Charge. You may choose to have the $20 charge for overnight delivery deducted from the net amount of withdrawal you would like sent to you by overnight delivery service.
Redemption Fees. If applicable, we may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the underlying funds as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions you initiate. Redemption fees, if any, are separate and distinct from any transaction charges or other charges deducted from your Contract Value. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review each funds’ prospectus.
No underlying fund currently charges a redemption fee.
Charges Deducted from the Subaccounts
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. The amount of the mortality and expense risk charge depends on the death benefit you have elected. The charge is deducted on each business day and is a percentage of average daily assets based on the assets you have in each subaccount. The mortality and expense risk charge compensates the Company for death benefit and annuitization risks and the risk that expense charges will not cover actual expenses. The death benefit risk is that actual mortality rates in the aggregate may exceed expected mortality rates. The annuitization risk is that actual mortality rates may be lower than expected mortality rates. If there are any profits from the mortality and expense risk charge, we may use such profits to finance the costs associated with past distribution of Contract.

Before January 12, 2009, the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit was available instead of the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit for the same charge. Mortality and Expense Risk Charges for Contracts purchased before January 28, 2008: Standard Death Benefit – 0.85%; Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit – 1.10%; and Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit – 1.40%. From January 28, 2008 through April 28, 2008, the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge for the Quarterly Ratchet was 1.25%.
Asset-Based Administrative Charge. The amount of the asset-based administrative charge, on an annual basis, is equal to 0.15% of the assets you have in each subaccount. We deduct the charge on each business day at the rate of 0.0004% of average daily assets based on the assets you have in each subaccount. The asset-based administrative charge compensates us for the expenses incurred with administering the Contract.
Optional Rider Charges
Some features and benefits of the Contract are available by rider for an additional charge. Availability is subject to state approval and sometimes broker/dealer approval. Once elected, a rider cannot be canceled independently of the Contract. Below is information about the charge for a rider. Riders are expressed as a percentage, rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent. Riders are subject to conditions and limitations. For more information about how the Premium Credit rider works, including the conditions and limitations, please see “THE ANNUITY CONTRACT – Additional Credit to Premium.” For more information about how each of the living benefit riders works, including the defined terms used in connection with the riders, as well as the conditions and limitations, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS.”
Optional Surrender Charge Schedule Rider Charge. The maximum annual charge for the Optional Surrender Charge Schedule rider is 0.90%. Currently, the charge is 0.45% annually, which charge is deducted quarterly, at the rate of 0.12%, from the subaccounts in which you are invested based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). The charge lasts for your first four Contract Years. We deduct the charge in arrears, meaning the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter from the Contract Date. If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C. We reserve the right to change the charge for this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. If changed, the new charge will only apply to riders issued after the change.

13


Premium Credit Rider Charge. The charge for the Premium Credit rider depends on the surrender charge schedule for your Contract.
With the standard surrender charge schedule, the maximum annual charge is 0.57%. Currently, the charge is 0.55% annually, which charge is deducted at the end of each business day from the subaccounts in which you are invested and any Fixed Interest Allocations. We reflect the charge, or portion of the charge, with any Fixed Interest Allocation by correspondingly reducing the interest that otherwise would be credited, resulting in the interest credited being less than that at the guaranteed rate for the guaranteed interest period. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, please see APPENDIX C. The charge lasts for your first seven Contract Years.
With the Optional Surrender Charge Schedule rider, the maximum annual charge for the Premium Credit rider is 0.50%, currently 0.45% annually, lasting your first four Contract Years.
We reserve the right to change the charges for this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. If changed, the new charge will only apply to riders issued after the change. The cost of providing the Premium Credit rider is generally covered by the Premium Credit rider charge, the deduction schedule for forfeiture of the Premium Credit on return of the Contract during the free look period, surrender or withdrawals, and death, and, to some degree, by the mortality and expense risk charge. We expect to make a profit on those Contracts under which the Premium Credit rider is elected.
Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit (“MGIB”) Rider Charge. The charge for the MGIB rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly, and is a percentage of the MGIB Charge Base:
Maximum Annual Charge
Current Annual Charge
1.50%
0.75%
We deduct the quarterly charge in arrears from the subaccounts in which you are invested based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter from the Contract Date. The charge is deducted even if you decide never to exercise your right to annuitize under this rider. For more information about how this rider works, including how the MGIB Charge Base is determined, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider (the “MGIB rider”).”
If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. But currently, a Market Value Adjustment would not apply when this charge is deducted from a Fixed Interest Allocation. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C.
LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“LifePay Plus”) Rider Charge. The charge for the LifePay Plus rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly from your Contract Value:
Maximum Annual Charge
Current Annual Charge
1.50%
1.00%
This quarterly charge is a percentage of the LifePay Plus Base. We deduct the charge in arrears based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter following the rider effective date. If the rider is elected at Contract issue, the rider effective date is the same as the Contract Date. If the rider is added after Contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. A quarterly Contract anniversary occurs once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date. The charge will be assessed proportionately when the rider is terminated. Charges will no longer be deducted once your rider enters the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs when your Contract Value is reduced to zero and other conditions are met. We reserve the right to increase the charge for the LifePay Plus rider upon the Annual Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins. You will never pay more than new issues of this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. We promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. For more information about how this rider works, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“LifePay Plus”) Rider.
If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. But currently, a Market Value Adjustment would not apply when this charge is deducted from a Fixed Interest Allocation. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C.

Important Note:
 
The above information pertains to the form of the LifePay Plus rider, which was available for sale from May 1, 2009 until March 15, 2010 in states where approved. If you purchased a prior version of the LifePay Plus rider, please see APPENDIX I for more information.
Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider Charge. The charge for the Joint LifePay Plus rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly from your Contract Value:
Maximum Annual Charge
Current Annual Charge
1.70%
1.20%
This quarterly charge is a percentage of the LifePay Plus Base. We deduct the charge in arrears based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter following the rider effective date. If the rider is elected at Contract issue, the rider effective date is the same as the Contract Date. If the rider is added after Contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. A quarterly Contract anniversary occurs once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date. The charge will be assessed proportionately when the rider is terminated. Charges will no longer be deducted once your rider enters the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs when your Contract Value is reduced to zero and other conditions are met. We reserve the right to increase the charge for the Joint LifePay Plus rider upon the Annual Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins. You will never pay more than new issues of this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. We promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. For more information about how this rider works, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider.
If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. But currently, a Market Value Adjustment would not apply when this charge is deducted from a Fixed Interest Allocation. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C.

 
Important Note:
 
The above information pertains to the form of the Joint LifePay Plus rider which was available for sale from May 1, 2009, until March 15, 2010, in states where approved. If you purchased a prior version of the LifePay Plus rider, please see APPENDIX I for more information.
Fund Expenses
As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the “FEES AND EXPENSES – Fees Deducted by the Funds” section of this prospectus, each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the fund. In addition, each fund deducts other expenses which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the Company and its affiliates, for administrative and Contract owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain funds may deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review each fund’s prospectus.
Less expensive share classes of the funds offered through this Contract may be available for investment outside of this Contract. You should evaluate the expenses associated with the funds available through this Contract before making a decision to invest.
Revenue from the Funds
The Company or its affiliates may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates. This revenue may include:
A share of the management fee;
Service fees;
For certain share classes, 12b-1 fees; and
Additional payments (sometimes referred to as revenue sharing).







15


12b-1 fees are used to compensate the Company and its affiliates for distribution related activity. Service fees and additional payments (sometimes collectively referred to as sub-accounting fees) help compensate the Company and its affiliates for administrative, recordkeeping or other services that we provide to the funds or the funds’ affiliates, such as:
Communicating with customers about their fund holdings;
Maintaining customer financial records;
Processing changes in customer accounts and trade orders (e.g., purchase and redemption requests);
Recordkeeping for customers, including subaccounting services;
Answering customer inquiries about account status and purchase and redemption procedures;
Providing account balances, account statements, tax documents and confirmations of transactions in a customer’s account;
Transmitting proxy statements, annual and semi-annual reports, fund prospectuses and other fund communications to customers; and
Receiving, tabulating and transmitting proxies executed by customers.
 
The management fee, service fees and 12b-1 fees are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the fund prospectuses. Additional payments, which are not deducted from fund assets and may be paid out of the legitimate profits of fund advisers and/or other fund affiliates, do not increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses, and we may use these additional payments to finance the costs associated with past distribution of the Contract.
The amount of revenue the Company may receive from each of the funds or from the funds’ affiliates may be substantial, although the amount and types of revenue vary with respect to each of the funds offered through the Contract. This revenue is one of several factors we consider when determining Contract fees and expenses and whether to offer a fund through our contracts. Fund revenue is important to the Company’s profitability.
Assets allocated to funds formerly affiliated with the Company, meaning Voya funds managed by Voya Investments, LLC or another Voya affiliate, generally generate the largest dollar amount of revenue for the Company. Assets allocated to funds that were never affiliated with the Company generate lesser, but still substantial dollar amounts of revenue for the Company. The Company expects to earn profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the Company’s expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors.
Revenue Received from Formerly Affiliated Voya Funds. The revenue received by the Company from the formerly affiliated Voya funds may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the Company or a share of the fund’s management fee.
In the case of formerly affiliated Voya funds subadvised by unaffiliated third parties, any sharing of the management fee between the Company and the formerly affiliated investment adviser is based on the amount of such fee remaining after the subadvisory fee has been paid to the unaffiliated subadviser. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue are retained by the formerly affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the Company. The sharing of the management fee between the Company and the formerly affiliated investment adviser does not increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses. The Company may also receive additional compensation in the form of intercompany payments from a formerly affiliated fund’s investment adviser or the investment adviser’s parent in order to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. The intercompany payments and other revenue received from the formerly affiliated Voya funds provide the Company with a financial incentive to offer these funds through the Contract rather than other funds.
Additionally, in the case of formerly affiliated Voya funds subadvised by third parties, no direct payments are made to the Company or the formerly affiliated investment adviser by the subadvisers.
Revenue Received from Funds Never Affiliated with the Company. Revenue received by the Company from funds that were never affiliated with the Company is based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. Some of these funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant.
The BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund is the only fund currently open and available for investment through the Contract that is not a formerly affiliated Voya fund. We receive more revenue from the formerly affiliated Voya funds than we do from this BlackRock V.I. Fund.








16


THE ANNUITY CONTRACT
The Contract described in this prospectus is a deferred combination variable and fixed annuity contract. The Contract provides a means for you to invest in one or more of the available funds through Separate Account B. It also provides a means for you to invest in a Fixed Interest Allocation through the Fixed Account. See APPENDIX C for more information on the Fixed Account. If you have any questions concerning this Contract, contact your registered representative or call Customer Service at (800) 366-0066.
Contract Date and Contract Year
The date the Contract became effective is the Contract Date. Each 12-month period following the Contract Date is a Contract Year.
Contract Owner
You are the Contract Owner. You have the rights and options described in the Contract. One or more persons may own the Contract. If there are multiple owners named, the age of the oldest owner will determine the applicable death benefit if such death benefit is available for multiple owners. In the event a selected death benefit is not available, the Standard Death Benefit will apply.
The death benefit becomes payable when you die. If the owner is a non-natural owner, the death benefit is payable upon the death of the Annuitant. In the case of a sole Contract Owner who dies before the Annuity Start Date, we will pay the beneficiary the death benefit then due. The sole Contract Owner’s estate will be the beneficiary if no beneficiary has been designated or the beneficiary has predeceased the Contract Owner. In the case of a joint owner of the Contract dying before the Annuity Start Date, we will designate the surviving Contract Owner as the beneficiary. This will override any previous beneficiary designation. See “Joint Owner” below.
Joint Owner
For nonqualified Contracts only, joint owners may be named in a written request before the Contract is in effect. Joint owners may independently exercise transfers and other transactions allowed under the Contract. All other rights of ownership must be exercised by both owners. Joint owners own equal shares of any benefits accruing or payments made to them. All rights of a joint owner end at death of that owner if the other joint owner survives. The entire interest of the deceased joint owner in the Contract will pass to the surviving joint owner and the death benefit will be payable. Joint owners may only select the Standard Death Benefit option.
Any addition or deletion of a joint owner is treated as a change of owner which may affect the amount of the death benefit. See “Change of Contract Owner or Beneficiary” below. Adding a joint owner to the Contract post issue with either the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit (Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit before January 12, 2009) or Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit will cause that death benefit to end. If the older joint owner is attained age 85 or under, the Standard Death Benefit will apply. If the older joint owner is attained age 86 or over on the date of the ownership change, the death benefit will be the Cash Surrender Value. The mortality and expense risk charge going forward will reflect the change in death benefit. Note that returning a Contract to single owner status will not restore either the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit (Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit before January 12, 2009) or Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit. Unless otherwise specified, the term “age” when used for joint owners shall mean the age of the oldest owner.
Annuity Start Date
The Annuity Start Date is the date you start receiving annuity payments under your Contract. The Contract, like all deferred variable annuity contracts, has two phases: the accumulation phase and the income phase. The accumulation phase is the period between the Contract Date and the Annuity Start Date. The income phase begins when you start receiving regular annuity payments from your Contract on the Annuity Start Date.
Annuitant
The Annuitant is the person designated by you to be the measuring life in determining annuity payments. On and after May 1, 2009, a joint Annuitant may also be designated. You are the Annuitant unless you name another Annuitant in the application. The Annuitant’s age determines when the income phase must begin and the amount of the annuity payments to be paid. In the case of a non-natural owner and joint Annuitants, the oldest Annuitant’s age is used. The Contract Owner will receive the annuity benefits of the Contract if the Annuitant is living on the Annuity Start Date. You may not change the Annuitant after the Contract is in effect except as described below.



17


If the Contract Owner is an individual, and the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Start Date and you have named a contingent Annuitant, the contingent Annuitant becomes the Annuitant. If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Start Date and there is no contingent Annuitant, the Contract Owner will become the Annuitant. In the event of joint owners, the youngest will be the contingent Annuitant. The Contract Owner may designate a new Annuitant within 60 days of the death of the Annuitant. If the Annuitant was the sole Contract Owner and there is no beneficiary designation, the Annuitant’s estate will be the beneficiary.
If the Contract Owner is not an individual, and the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Start Date, we will pay the designated beneficiary the death benefit then due. If a beneficiary has not been designated, or if there is no designated beneficiary living, the Contract Owner will be the beneficiary.
Regardless of whether a death benefit is payable, if the Annuitant dies and any Contract Owner is not an individual, distribution rules under federal tax law will apply. You should consult your tax and/or legal adviser for more information if the Contract Owner is not an individual.
Beneficiary
The beneficiary is named by you in a written request. The beneficiary is the person who receives any death benefit proceeds. The beneficiary may become the successor Contract Owner if the Contract Owner, who is a spouse, dies before the income phase start date. We pay death benefits to the primary beneficiary (unless there are joint owners, in which case death proceeds are payable to the surviving owner(s)).
If the beneficiary dies before the Annuitant or the Contract Owner, we pay the death benefit proceeds to the contingent beneficiary, if any. If there is no surviving beneficiary, we pay the death benefit proceeds to the Contract Owner’s estate.
One or more persons may be a beneficiary or contingent beneficiary. In the case of more than one beneficiary, we will assume any death benefit proceeds are to be paid in equal shares to the surviving beneficiaries, unless you indicate otherwise in writing.
Please note that only the Standard Death Benefit is available on a Contract with joint Annuitants.
Change of Contract Owner or Beneficiary
During the Annuitant’s lifetime, you may transfer ownership of a nonqualified Contract. A change in ownership may affect the amount of the death benefit, the guaranteed minimum death benefit and/or the death benefit option applied to the Contract, and the continuation of any other optional rider that you have elected. The new owner’s age, as of the date of the change, will be used as the basis for determining the applicable benefits and charges (the Annuitant’s age for non-natural owners). The new owner’s death will determine when a death benefit is payable (the Annuitant’s death for non-natural owners).

For Contracts issued before May 1, 2009, the maximum new owner issue age was 75 for continuation of both the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit and Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit, Before January 12, 2009, the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit was available in place of the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit. For Contracts issued before April 28, 2008, the maximum new owner issue age was 79 for continuation of both the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit and Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit. Otherwise, the death benefit after the ownership change will be the Standard Death Benefit, so long as the new owner is no older than age 85.
In the event the new owner is age 86 or older, or the new owner is not an individual (other than a trust for the benefit of the owner or Annuitant), the death benefit after the ownership change will be the Cash Surrender Value. The mortality and expense risk charge going forward will reflect the change in death benefit. Please note that once a death benefit has been changed due to a change in owner, a subsequent change to a younger owner will not restore either the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit (Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit before January 12, 2009) or Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit.

An ownership change may cause a living benefit rider to terminate. Such depends on the rider and whether spousal continuation is allowed. For more information about an ownership change with the MGIB rider, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider (the “MGIB rider”).” For more information with the LifePay Plus rider, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“LifePay Plus”) Rider.” And for more information with the Joint LifePay Plus rider, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider.”
A change of owner likely has tax consequences. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” in this prospectus.
You have the right to change beneficiaries during the Annuitant’s lifetime unless you have designated an irrevocable beneficiary. If you have designated an irrevocable beneficiary, you and the irrevocable beneficiary may have to act together to exercise some of the rights and options under the Contract. In the event of joint owners all must agree to change a beneficiary.
In the event of a death claim, we will honor the form of payment of the death benefit specified by the beneficiary to the extent permitted under Tax Code Section 72(s) or 401(a)(9), as applicable. You may also restrict a beneficiary’s right to elect an income phase payment option or receive a lump-sum payment. If so, such rights or options will not be available to the beneficiary.
All requests for changes must be in writing and submitted to Customer Service. Please date your requests. The change will be effective as of the day we receive the request. The change will not affect any payment made or action taken by us before recording the change.
Purchase and Availability of the Contract
We no longer offer the Contract for sale to new purchasers.
We issued a Contract with the Standard Death Benefit SO LONG AS both the Annuitant and the Contract Owner were age 80 or younger at the time of application. Availability of an Enhanced Death Benefit option plus a living benefit rider was subject to the following limitations.

Maximum Issue Age
Option
Additional Requirement
79
Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit
LifePay Plus rider or Joint LifePay Plus rider is also purchased.
75
Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit
All living benefit riders are available.
69
Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit
No living benefit rider is available.
The maximum issue age applied to both the Annuitant and Contract Owner at the time of application. The Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit was not available for purchase with any living benefit rider. Also, the maximum issue age for a Contract with the Standard Death Benefit was limited to age 75 to purchase the MGIB rider.
Before May 1, 2009, you could purchase a Contract with the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit SO LONG AS both the Annuitant and the Contract Owner were age 79 or younger at the time of application AND you purchased the LifePay Plus rider or Joint LifePay Plus rider (or the version of the lifetime guaranteed withdrawal benefit rider available to you). Otherwise, the maximum issue age was 75 for a Contract with either the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit or Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit. Before January 12, 2009, the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit was available in place of the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit. Before April 28, 2008, the maximum issue age was 79 for a Contract with either the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit or Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit.
The initial premium payment must have been $10,000 or more ($1,500 for qualified Contracts). You may make additional payments of $100 or more ($50 for qualified Contracts) at any time after the free look period and up to the Contract anniversary after your 86th birthday. Under certain circumstances, we may have waived the minimum premium payment requirement. We may also change the minimum initial or additional premium requirements for certain group or sponsored arrangements. An initial or additional premium payment that would cause the Contract Value of all annuities that you maintain with us to exceed $1,500,000 requires our prior approval.
The Contract is designed for people seeking long-term tax-deferred accumulation of assets, generally for retirement or other long-term purposes. The tax-deferred feature is more attractive to people in high federal and state tax brackets. You should not buy this Contract: (1) if you are looking for a short-term investment; (2) if you cannot risk getting back less money than you put in; or (3) if your assets are in a plan which provides for tax-deferral and you see no other reason to purchase this Contract. When considering an investment in the Contract, you should consult with your investment professional about your financial goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance.

Replacing an existing insurance Contract with this Contract may not be beneficial to you. Before purchasing the Contract, determine whether your existing Contract will be subject to any fees or penalties upon surrender. Also, compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of your existing Contract with those of the Contract described in this prospectus.
IRAs and other qualified plans already have the tax-deferral feature found in this Contract. For an additional cost, the Contract provides other features and benefits including death benefits and the ability to receive a lifetime income. You should not purchase a qualified Contract unless you want these other features and benefits, taking into account their cost. See “FEES AND EXPENSES” and “CHARGES AND FEES” in this prospectus. If you are considering an Enhanced Death Benefit Option and your Contract will be an IRA, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits” in this prospectus. This Contract is not available as a SIMPLE IRA under Section 408(p) of the Tax Code.
Crediting of Premium Payments
We will process your initial premium within two business days after receipt and allocate the payment according to the instructions you specify at the Accumulation Unit value next determined, if the application and all information necessary for processing the Contract are complete. We will process subsequent premium payments within one business day if we receive all information necessary. In certain states we also accept initial and additional premium payments by wire order. Wire transmittals must be accompanied by sufficient electronically transmitted data. We may retain your initial premium payment for up to five business days while attempting to complete an incomplete application. If the application cannot be completed within this period, we will inform you of the reasons for the delay. We will also return the premium payment immediately unless you direct us to hold the premium payment until the application is completed. If you choose to have us hold the premium payment, it will be held in a non-interest bearing account.
If a subaccount is not available or requested in error, we will make inquiry about a replacement subaccount. If we are unable to reach you or your representative within five days, we will consider the application incomplete. Once the completed application is received, we will allocate the payment to the subaccounts of Separate Account B specified by you within two business days.
If your premium payment was transmitted by wire order from your broker/dealer, we will follow one of the following two procedures after we receive and accept the wire order and investment instructions. The procedure we follow depends on state availability and the procedures of your broker/dealer.
If either your state or broker/dealer do not permit us to issue a Contract without an application, we reserve the right to rescind the Contract if we do not receive and accept a properly completed application or enrollment form within five days of the premium payment. If we do not receive the application or form within five days of the premium payment, we will refund the Contract Value plus any charges we deducted, and the Contract will be voided. Some states require that we return the premium paid; or
If your state and broker/dealer allow us to issue a Contract without an application, we will issue and mail the Contract to you or your representative, together with a Contract Acknowledgement and Delivery Statement for your execution. Until Customer Service receives the executed Contract Acknowledgement and Delivery Statement, neither you nor the broker/dealer may execute any financial transactions on your Contract unless they are requested in writing by you. We may require additional information before complying with your request (e.g., signature guarantee).
We will ask about any missing information related to subsequent payments. We will allocate the subsequent payment(s) proportionally according to the current variable subaccount allocation unless you specify otherwise. Any fixed allocation(s) will not be considered in these calculations. If a subaccount is no longer available (including due to a fund purchase restriction) or requested in error, we will allocate the subsequent payment(s) proportionally among the other subaccount(s) in your current allocation. For any subsequent premium payments, we will credit the payment designated for a subaccount of Separate Account B at the Accumulation Unit value next determined after receipt of your premium payment and instructions.
Once we allocate your premium payment to the subaccounts selected by you, we convert the premium payment into Accumulation Units. We divide the amount of the premium payment and Premium Credit allocated to a particular subaccount by the value of an Accumulation Unit for the subaccount to determine the number of Accumulation Units of the subaccount to be held in Separate Account B with respect to your Contract. The net investment results of each subaccount vary with its investment performance.
In some states, we may require that an initial premium designated for a subaccount of Separate Account B or the Fixed Account be allocated to a subaccount specially designated by the Company (currently, the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio) during the free look period. After the free look period, we will convert your Contract Value (your initial premium plus any earnings less any expenses) into Accumulation Units of the subaccounts you previously selected. The Accumulation Units will be allocated based on the Accumulation Unit value next computed for each subaccount. Initial premiums designated for Fixed Interest Allocations will be allocated to a Fixed Interest Allocation with the guaranteed interest period you have chosen; however, in the future we may allocate the premiums to the specially designated subaccount during the free look period.

20


Additional Credit to Premium
At the time of application, you may elect the Premium Credit rider. If elected, a credit will be added to your Contract equal to a percentage of all premium payments received during the first Contract Year (“Premium Credit”). If you have elected to retain the standard surrender charge schedule, the Premium Credit equals 4% of the first Contract Year premium payments and will be allocated among each subaccount and Fixed Interest Allocation you have selected in proportion to your allocation of the applicable premium in each fund. If you have elected the Optional Surrender Charge Schedule rider, the Premium Credit equals 2% of the first Contract Year premium payments and will be allocated among each subaccount and Fixed Interest Allocation you have selected in proportion to your allocation of the applicable premium in each fund.
Currently, the Premium Credit rider is available only if elected at the time of application prior to issuance of the Contract and is irrevocable. However, we reserve the right to make the Premium Credit rider available to in force Contract Owners. We may increase, decrease or discontinue the Premium Credit at our discretion.
There is a separate charge for the Premium Credit rider which is a daily asset-based charge deducted from your Contract Value. Please see the “CHARGES AND FEES” section for a description of this charge.
The Premium Credit constitutes earnings (and not premiums paid by you) for federal tax purposes.
In certain circumstances, we deduct part or all of previously applied Premium Credits from the amount we pay to you or your beneficiary. If you return your Contract within the free look period, we will deduct all Premium Credits from the refund amount. If a death benefit becomes payable, we will deduct any Premium Credits added to your Contract since or within 12 months of the date of death. If you surrender your Contract or take a withdrawal, we will deduct a portion of the Premium Credit added to your Contract Value based on the percentage of first year premium withdrawn and the Contract Year of surrender or withdrawal in accordance with the following tables:
Premium Credit Deduction with Standard Surrender Charge Schedule
Contract Year of Surrender or Withdrawal
Percentage of Premium Credit Deducted
(based on percentage of first year premium withdrawn)
Years 1-2
100%
Years 3-4

Because Free Withdrawal Amounts are not considered withdrawals of premium, the associated Premium Credits will not be deducted when withdrawals do not exceed the Free Withdrawal Amount. Please note the deduction of the Premium Credit will still be taken if the surrender charges have been waived for extended medical care or terminal illness. If we deduct a Premium Credit from any amount we pay to you, we will deduct the full dollar amount of the Premium Credit deducted. You will retain any gains, and you will also bear any losses, that are attributable to the Premium Credit we deduct.
There may be circumstances under which the Contract Owner may be worse off from having received a Premium Credit. For example, this could occur if the Contract Owner returns the Contract during the applicable free look period. Upon a free look, we deduct the Premium Credit that had been credited. If the state law provides that Contract Value is returned on a free look, and if the performance of the applicable subaccounts has been negative during that period, we will return the Contract Value less the Premium Credit. Negative performance associated with the Premium Credit at any time will reduce the Contract Value more than if the Premium Credit had not been applied. In addition, the expenses for a Contract with the Premium Credit rider may be higher than for Contracts without the Premium Credit rider. Over time, and under certain circumstances, the amount of the Premium Credit may be more than offset by the additional fees and charges associated with the Premium Credit.

Anti-Money Laundering
In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and other current anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that serve to assure that our customers’ identities are properly verified and that premiums and loan repayments are not derived from improper sources.
Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require customers and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing information databases maintained internally or by outside firms.
We may also refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (including but not limited to cash, traveler’s cheques, starter checks from a new account, credit card checks and certain third-party checks) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (including but not limited to cashier’s checks, bank drafts, bank checks and treasurer’s checks totaling more than $10,000). In addition, we may require information as to why a particular form of payment was used and the source of the funds of such payment in order to determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result in us returning the payment.
Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your Contract to government regulators.
Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes in applicable laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.
Unclaimed Property
Every state has some form of unclaimed property laws that impose varying legal and practical obligations on insurers and, indirectly, on Contract Owners, insureds, beneficiaries and other payees of proceeds. Unclaimed property laws generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed proceeds under various circumstances.
Contract owners are urged to keep their own, as well as their beneficiaries’ and other payees’, information up to date, including full names, postal and electronic media addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. Such updates should be communicated to Customer Service in writing or by calling (800) 366-0066.
Cyber Security
Like others in our industry, we are subject to operational and information security risks resulting from “cyber-attacks,” “hacking” or similar illegal or unauthorized intrusions into computer systems and networks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Although we seek to limit our vulnerability to such risks through technological and other means and we rely on industry standard commercial technologies to maintain the security of our information systems, it is not possible to anticipate or prevent all potential forms of cyber-attack or to guarantee our ability to fully defend against all such attacks. In addition, due to the sensitive nature of much of the financial and similar personal information we maintain, we may be at particular risk for targeting.
Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your Contract Value. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit values, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also affect the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your Contract that result from cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.






22


Administrative Procedures
We may accept a request for Contract service in writing, by telephone or other approved electronic means, subject to our administrative procedures, which vary depending on the type of service requested and may include proper completion of certain forms, providing appropriate identifying information, and/or other administrative requirements. We will process your request at the Contract Value next determined only after you have met all administrative requirements. Please be advised that the risk of a fraudulent transaction is increased with telephonic or electronic instructions (for example, a facsimile withdrawal request form), even if appropriate identifying information is provided. You are responsible for keeping information about your Contract and appropriate identifying information confidential. If we fail to follow reasonable security procedures, we may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone or other electronic transactions. We are not liable for losses resulting from following telephone or electronic instructions we believe to be genuine. If a loss occurs when we rely on such instruction, you will bear the loss.
Contract Value
We determine your Contract Value on a daily basis beginning on the Contract Date. Your Contract Value is the sum of: (1) the Contract Value in the Fixed Interest Allocations; and (2) the Contract Value in each subaccount in which you are invested.
Contract Value in Fixed Interest Allocations. The Contract Value in your Fixed Interest Allocation is the sum of premium payments and Premium Credits allocated to the Fixed Interest Allocation under the Contract, plus Contract Value transferred to the Fixed Interest Allocation, plus credited interest, minus any transfers and withdrawals from the Fixed Interest Allocation (including any Market Value Adjustment applied to such transfer or withdrawal), Contract fees (including, in some cases, fees for optional benefit riders) and premium taxes.
Contract Value in the Subaccounts. On the Contract Date, the Contract Value in the subaccount in which you are invested is equal to the initial premium paid and added Premium Credit designated to be allocated to the subaccount. On the Contract Date, we allocate your Contract Value to each subaccount and/or a Fixed Interest Allocation specified by you, unless the Contract is issued in a state that requires the return of premium payments during the free look period. In such a case, the portion of your initial premium and added Premium Credit not allocated to a Fixed Interest Allocation may be allocated to a subaccount specially designated by the Company during the free look period for this purpose (currently, the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio).
On each business day after the Contract Date, we calculate the amount of Contract Value in each subaccount as follows:
(1)
We take the Contract Value in the subaccount at the end of the preceding business day;
(2)
We multiply (1) by the subaccount’s Net Rate of Return since the preceding business day;
(3)
We add (1) and (2);
(4)
We add to (3) any additional premium payments and Premium Credits, and then add or subtract any transfers to or from that subaccount; and
(5)
We subtract from (4) any withdrawals and any related charges, and then subtract any Contract fees and premium taxes.
Cash Surrender Value
The Cash Surrender Value is the amount you receive when you surrender the Contract. The Cash Surrender Value will fluctuate daily based on the investment results of the subaccounts in which you are invested and interest credited to Fixed Interest Allocations and any Market Value Adjustment. See APPENDIX C for a description of the calculation of Cash Surrender Value under any Fixed Interest Allocation. We do not guarantee any minimum Cash Surrender Value. On any date during the accumulation phase, we calculate the Cash Surrender Value as follows: (1) we start with your Contract Value, (2) adjust for any Market Value Adjustment, and then we (3) deduct any surrender charge, any charge for premium taxes, any redemption fees, the annual Contract administrative fee (unless waived), any optional benefit rider charge, any Premium Credit deduction and any other charges incurred but not yet deducted.
Surrendering to Receive the Cash Surrender Value. You may surrender the Contract at any time while the Annuitant is living and before the Annuity Start Date. A surrender is effective on the date we receive your written request and the Contract at Customer Service. After we receive all paperwork required for us to process your surrender, we will determine and pay the Cash Surrender Value at the price next determined. Once paid, all benefits under the Contract will terminate. You may receive the Cash Surrender Value in a single sum payment or apply it under one or more annuity options. We will usually pay the Cash Surrender Value within seven days.
Consult your tax and/or legal adviser regarding the tax consequences associated with surrendering your Contract. A surrender made before you reach age 5912 may result in a 10% tax penalty. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” for more details.



23


Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Subaccounts and Other Changes
We may make additional subaccounts available to you under the Contract. These subaccounts will invest in funds we find suitable for your Contract. We may also withdraw or substitute funds, subject to the conditions in your Contract, compliance with regulatory requirements and subject to SEC approval.
We do not guarantee that each fund will always be available for investment through the Contract. If we feel that investment in any of the funds has become inappropriate for the purposes of the Contract, we may, with approval of the SEC (and any other regulatory agency, if required) combine two or more accounts or substitute another portfolio for existing and future investments. Whether a fund has become inappropriate for the purposes of the Contract will be determined by us based upon factors that include, but are not limited to, the fund’s fees and expenses, performance history, actual or potential impact on our hedging program used to support our Contract guarantees, and the availability through the Contract of similarly styled and/or managed funds. If you elected the dollar cost averaging, systematic withdrawals or automatic rebalancing programs, or if you have other outstanding instructions and we substitute or otherwise eliminate a fund subject to those instructions, we will execute your instructions using the substituted or proposed replacement fund, unless you request otherwise. If the most recent allocation instructions we have on file do not include any available subaccounts, the amount to be allocated will be returned unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions. The substitute or proposed replacement fund may have higher fees and charges than any fund it replaces.
Subject to SEC approval, we reserve the right to: (1) deregister Separate Account B under the 1940 Act; (2) operate Separate Account B as a management company under the 1940 Act if it is operating as a unit investment trust; (3) operate Separate Account B as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act if it is operating as a managed separate account; (4) restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to Separate Account B; (5) combine Separate Account B with other accounts; and (6) transfer separate account assets to another separate account that we determine to be associated with the class of contracts to which the Contract belongs.
We will provide you with written notice before we make any of these changes.
We do not recommend or endorse any particular fund, and we do not provide investment advice.
Fixed Interest Allocation (The Fixed Account)
The Fixed Interest Allocation option that may be available through your Contract is the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is a segregated asset account which contains the assets that support a Contract Owner’s investment in this option. See APPENDIX C and your Contract, including any endorsements and riders, for more information.
State Variations
Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from, and impose different costs than, those described in this prospectus. Material variations are described in APPENDIX L. Also see your Contract, including any endorsements and riders, for details.

LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS
Some features and benefits of the Contract, if available, are available by rider for an additional charge. Once elected, the riders generally may not be cancelled. You may not remove the rider and charges will be assessed regardless of the performance of your Contract. Please see “CHARGES AND FEES – Optional Rider Charges” for information on rider charges.
The optional riders may not be available for all investors. Please check your application for the Contract to be sure. You should analyze each rider thoroughly and understand it completely before you select one. The optional riders do not guarantee any return of principal or premium payments and do not guarantee performance of any specific fund under the Contract. You should consult a qualified financial adviser in evaluating the riders. Customer Service may be able to answer your questions. The telephone number is (800) 366-0066.
The Contract has three living benefit riders offering protection against the investment risks with your Contract:
The Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit rider, which may be appropriate if you are concerned about having a minimum amount of income in annuitizing your Contract;
The LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit rider, which may be appropriate if you are concerned that you may outlive your income; and
The Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit rider, which may be appropriate if you are married and concerned that you and your spouse may outlive your income.

24


These living benefit riders are described further below. You may only add one living benefit rider to your Contract. You should not elect the LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit rider with multiple owners, unless the owners are spouses. More information about earlier versions of the guaranteed withdrawal benefit riders (including lifetime versions) is in the appendices.
Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider (the “MGIB rider”)
The MGIB rider is an optional benefit which guarantees a minimum amount of annuity income will be available to you if you annuitize on the MGIB Date (as defined below), regardless of fluctuating market conditions. The minimum guaranteed amount of annuity income will depend on the amount of premiums you pay and any Premium Credits you receive, if applicable, during the first five Contract Years after you purchase the rider, the Premium Credits we add, the amount of Contract Value you allocate or transfer to Special Funds (as defined below) or Excluded Funds (as defined below), the MGIB Rate (as defined below), the adjustment for Special Fund or Excluded Fund transfers, and any withdrawals you take while the MGIB rider is in effect. Thus, investing in Special Funds or Excluded Funds may limit the benefit under the MGIB rider.
Purchase. The MGIB rider is no longer available for purchase, including purchase by owners of existing Contracts.
Rider Date. The Rider Date is the date the optional benefit rider becomes effective. The Rider Date is also the Contract Date if you purchased the rider when the Contract was issued.
No Cancellation. Once you purchase the MGIB rider, you may not cancel it unless you cancel the Contract during the Contract’s free look period, surrender, annuitize or otherwise terminate the Contract. These events automatically cancel any rider. Once the Contract continues beyond the free look period, you may not cancel the rider. The Company may, at its discretion, cancel and/or replace a rider at your request in order to renew or reset a rider.
Termination. The MGIB rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefit offered by the MGIB rider is intended to be available to you while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The MGIB rider automatically terminates if:
You annuitize, surrender or otherwise terminate your Contract during the accumulation phase;
You die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract Owners, or at death of Annuitant if the Contract Owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract;
The Contract Value is insufficient to pay the charge for the MGIB rider; or
There is a change in Contract ownership (other than a spousal beneficiary continuation upon your death).
Rider Charge. The current charge we deduct under the MGIB rider is 0.75% annually of the MGIB Charge Base. The MGIB Charge Base is the greater of (1) and (2) below, where:
 
(1)
Is the lesser of the Maximum MGIB Rollup Base and the sum of (a), (b), and (c) where:
 
(a)
Is the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds;
 
(b)
Is the MGIB Rollup Base for Special Funds (as defined below); and
 
(c)
Is the MGIB Rollup Base for Excluded Funds; and
 
(2)
Is the sum of (a) and (b) where:
 
(a)
Is the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds; and
 
(b)
Is the MGIB Ratchet Base for Excluded Funds.
For definitions of the Maximum MGIB Rollup Base, the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds, the MGIB Rollup Base for Special Funds, the MGIB Rollup Base for Excluded Funds, the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds and the MGIB Ratchet Base for Excluded Funds, see the “Calculation of the MGIB Rollup Bases” and “Calculation of the MGIB Ratchet Bases” below.
Fund Categories. The MGIB Benefit Base (as defined below) is tracked separately for Covered Funds, Special Funds and Excluded Funds. These fund categories apply to all calculations under the MGIB rider. Please see “THE FUNDS – Covered Funds, Special Funds and Excluded Funds.”
Covered Funds are any investment options not designated as Special Funds or Excluded Funds. As of July 11, 2014, the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio was designated as a Covered Fund for all current and future investments.




25


The following investment options are designated as Special Funds for purposes of calculating the MGIB Benefit Base:
Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio; and
Fixed Interest Allocation.
Please note that the ProFunds VP Rising Rates Opportunity Portfolio is a Special Fund, but was closed to new allocations effective April 30, 2007.
No investment options are currently designated as Excluded Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. In order to mitigate the insurance risk inherent in our guarantee to provide you a guaranteed minimum amount of annuity income if you annuitize on the MGIB date, (subject to the terms and restrictions of the MGIB rider), we require that your Contract Value be allocated in accordance with certain limitations. In general, to the extent that you choose not to invest in the Accepted Funds, we require that a proportion of the amount not so invested be invested in the Fixed Allocation Funds. We will require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to the Contract, as described below.
If the Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds (as defined below) is less than a percentage of the total Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds (as defined below) on any MGIB Rebalancing Date (as defined below), we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that the appropriate percentage of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. This is called Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing and the percentage is stated in your Contract. Currently, the minimum Fixed Allocation Fund percentage is zero. Accepted Funds are excluded from this rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done proportionally among the Other Funds and will be the last transaction processed on that date.
The MGIB Rebalancing Dates occur on each Contract anniversary and after the following transactions:
Receipt of additional premiums;
Transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
Withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
Accepted Funds. The currently available Accepted Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract Value allocated to such funds after the date of the change.
Fixed Allocation Funds. The currently available Fixed Allocation Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
If the MGIB rider is not continued under the spousal continuation right, if available, the Fixed Allocation Fund will be reclassified as a Special Fund as of the Contract continuation date if it would otherwise be designated as a Special Fund for purposes of the Contract’s death benefits. For purposes of calculating any applicable death benefit guaranteed under the Contract any allocation of Contract Value to the Fixed Allocation Funds will be considered a Covered Fund while the rider is in effect.
All funds available under the Contract that are not Accepted Funds or the Fixed Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with the fund restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in it. By electing to purchase the MGIB rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the MGIB rider if you do not wish to have your Contract Value reallocated in this manner.
If the version of the MGIB rider described in this section is not available in your state, you may receive a version of the MGIB rider that does not contain a Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing requirement.

MGIB Benefit Base. The MGIB Benefit Base (as defined below) is only a calculation used to determine the MGIB annuity income. The MGIB Benefit Base does not represent a Contract Value, nor does it guarantee performance of the subaccounts in which you are invested. It is also not used in determining the amount of your Cash Surrender Value and death benefits. Any reset of Contract Value under provisions of the Contract or other riders will not increase the MGIB Benefit Base or Maximum MGIB Rollup Base (as defined below). On the MGIB Date, your MGIB Benefit Base is the greater of (1) and (2), where:
 
(1)
Is the lesser of the Maximum MGIB Rollup Base (as defined below) and the sum of (a), (b), and (c) where:
 
(a)
Is the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds;
 
(b)
Is the MGIB Rollup Base for Special Funds; and
 
(c)
Is the Contract Value allocated to Excluded Funds; and
 
(2)
Is the sum of (a) and (b) where:
 
(a)
Is the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds (as defined below); and
 
(b)
Is the Contract Value allocated to Excluded Funds.
The MGIB Benefit Base calculation differs from the MGIB Charge Base calculation because it uses the Contract Value allocated to Excluded Funds rather than the MGIB Ratchet Base and MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Excluded Funds. This means that the amount on which you pay charges for the MGIB rider may be higher than the amount used to calculate your benefit under the MGIB rider.
Calculation of MGIB Rollup Bases. The Maximum MGIB Rollup Base is 250% of eligible premiums and Premium Credits adjusted proportionally for withdrawals. This means that the Maximum MGIB Rollup Base is reduced for withdrawals by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the Contract Value. The Maximum MGIB Rollup Base is not allocated by fund category. If the version of the MGIB rider described in this section is not available in your state, you may receive a version of the MGIB rider that defines the Maximum MGIB Rollup Base as 300% of eligible premiums adjusted proportionally for withdrawals.
The MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Covered Funds equals the eligible premiums allocated to Covered Funds, adjusted for Premium Credit deduction, subsequent withdrawals and transfers taken or made while the MGIB rider is in effect, accumulated at the MGIB Rate to the earlier of the oldest owner reaching age 80 and the MGIB Rollup Base reaching the Maximum MGIB Rollup Base, and at 0% thereafter.
The MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Special Funds equals the eligible premiums allocated to Special Funds, adjusted for Premium Credit deductions, subsequent withdrawals and transfers taken or made while the MGIB rider is in effect. The MGIB Rate does not apply to the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Special Funds, so the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Special Funds does not accumulate.
The MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Excluded Funds equals the eligible premiums allocated to Excluded Funds, adjusted for Premium Credit deductions, subsequent withdrawals and transfers taken or made while the MGIB rider is in effect, accumulated at the MGIB rate to the earlier of the oldest owner reaching age 80 and the MGIB Rollup Base reaching the Maximum MGIB Rollup Base, and at 0% thereafter. The MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Excluded Funds is used only for transfer adjustments and rider charges. It is not included in the MGIB Rollup Base used to determine benefits.
Eligible premiums are those premiums and related Premium Credits, if applicable, added more than five years before the earliest MGIB Date. This means that, generally, premiums and related Premium Credits, if applicable, must be paid within five years of purchasing the MGIB rider to be considered eligible premiums. Premiums paid after that, are excluded from the MGIB Rollup Bases.
The MGIB Rate is currently 6% (7% if this rider was purchased before May 1, 2009). The MGIB Rate is an annual effective rate. We may, at our discretion, discontinue offering this rate. The MGIB Rate will not change for those Contracts that have already purchased the MGIB rider.
Withdrawals reduce each MGIB Rollup Base proportionally. The percentage reduction in the MGIB Rollup Base for each fund category (i.e., Covered Funds, Special Funds or Excluded Funds) equals the percentage reduction in Contract Value in that fund category resulting from the withdrawal (including Premium Credit deduction, surrender charge and Market Value Adjustment). This means that the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds, the MGIB Rollup Base for Special Funds or the MGIB Rollup Base for Excluded Funds is reduced for withdrawals by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduces the Contract Value allocated to Covered Funds, Special Funds or Excluded Funds. For example, if the Contract Value in Covered Funds is reduced by 25% as the result of a withdrawal (including Premium Credit deduction, surrender charge and Market Value Adjustment), the MGIB Rollup Base allocated to Covered Funds is also reduced by 25% (rather than by the amount of the withdrawal).




27


When you make transfers between Covered Funds, Special Funds and Excluded Funds, net transfers from a fund category will reduce the applicable MGIB Rollup Base for that fund proportionally. This means a reduction by the same percentage as the transfer bears to the Contract Value in the fund category. For example, if the Contract Value in Covered Funds is $1,000 and the transfer from Covered Funds to Excluded Funds is $250, then the Contract Value in Covered Funds is reduced by 25%. In a case where the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds is $1,200, the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds is also reduced by 25%, or $300, rather than by the amount of the transfer, or $250. In addition, the MGIB Rollup Base for Excluded Funds is increased by the reduction in the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds, or $300.
In a case where the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds is greater than the Contract Value in Covered Funds, a transfer from Covered Funds will result in the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds being reduced by a dollar amount that is higher than the dollar amount of the transfer. A higher reduction to the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds will have a larger negative impact on the MGIB Benefit Base, potentially reducing the minimum guaranteed amount of annuity income upon annuitization under the MGIB rider. This means the benefit you receive under the MGIB rider will not be as great because of the transfer.
Net transfers from Excluded Funds will also reduce the MGIB Rollup Base for Excluded Funds proportionally. But, the resulting increase in the MGIB Rollup Base for Covered Funds or Special Funds, as applicable, will equal the lesser of the Contract Value transferred and the reduction in the MGIB Rollup Base for Excluded Funds. What this means, if in the previous example the transfer was from Excluded Funds to Covered Funds, is there would be no change in the value of your MGIB Benefit Base because of the transfer – the amount of the transfer between the fund categories is the same, $250, because the MGIB Benefit Base calculation is based on the Contract Value allocated to Excluded Funds, versus the calculation basis for Excluded Funds with the MGIB Charge Base. The MGIB Charge Base calculation is instead based on the MGIB Rollup Base for Excluded Funds. As a result, this same transfer, having no change in the value of your MGIB Benefit Base, would result in the MGIB Charge Base being reduced. The net effect of this transfer: you pay less for the same minimum guaranteed amount of annuity income upon annuitization of the MGIB rider.
Calculation of MGIB Ratchet Bases. The MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds equals:
 
(1)
On the Rider Date, eligible premiums plus Premium Credits or the Contract Value (if the rider is added after the Contract Date,) allocated to Covered Funds and Special Funds.
 
(2)
On each Contract anniversary prior to attainment of age 90, the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is set equal to the greater of:
 
(a)
The current Contract Value allocated to Covered Funds and Special Funds (after any deductions occurring on that date); and
 
(b)
The MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds from the most recent prior Contract anniversary, adjusted for any new eligible premiums, withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds and Special Funds, and transfers.
   
For Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased before January 12, 2009, the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is recalculated on each quarterly anniversary date prior to attainment of age 90. A “quarterly anniversary date” is the date three months from the Contract Date that falls on the same date in the month as the Contract Date. For example, if the Contract Date is February 12, the quarterly anniversary date is May 12. If there is no corresponding date in the month, the quarterly anniversary date will be the last date of the month. Whenever the date falls on a weekend or holiday, we will use the value as of the subsequent business day.
 
(3)
At other times, the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is the corresponding MGIB Ratchet Base from the prior Contract anniversary (the prior quarterly anniversary date for Contracts with the MGIB rider purchased before January 12, 2009), adjusted for subsequent eligible premiums, withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds and Special Funds, and transfers.
The MGIB Ratchet Base for Excluded Funds has a corresponding definition with respect to amounts allocated to Excluded Funds. The MGIB Ratchet Base for Excluded Funds is used only for transfer adjustments and MGIB rider charges. It is not included in the MGIB Ratchet Base used to determine benefits.
Eligible premiums are those premiums and related Premium Credits, if applicable, added more than five years before the earliest MGIB Date. This means that, generally, premiums and related Premium Credits, if applicable, must be paid within five years of purchasing the MGIB rider to be considered eligible premiums. Premiums paid after that are not added to the MGIB Ratchet Bases but are added to your Contract Value.








28


Withdrawals reduce each MGIB Ratchet Base proportionally. The percentage reduction in the MGIB Ratchet Base for each fund category (i.e., Covered Funds and Special Funds or Excluded Funds) equals the percentage reduction in Contract Value in that fund category resulting from the withdrawal (including Premium Credit deduction, surrender charges and Market Value Adjustment). This means that the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds or the MGIB Ratchet Base for Excluded Funds is reduced for withdrawals by the same proportion that the withdrawal (including Premium Credit deduction, surrender charges and Market Value Adjustment) reduces the Contract Value allocated to Covered Funds and Special Funds or Excluded Funds. For example, if the Contract Value in Covered Funds and Special Funds is reduced by 25% as the result of a withdrawal (including Premium Credit deduction, surrender charges and Market Value Adjustment), the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is also reduced by 25% (rather than by the amount of the withdrawal).
When you make transfers between Covered Funds or Special Funds and Excluded Funds net transfers will reduce the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds proportionally. This means a reduction by the same percentage as the transfer bears to the Contract Value in Covered Funds and Special Funds. For example, if the Contract Value in Covered Funds and Special Funds is $1,000 and a transfer from Covered Funds or Special Funds to Excluded Funds is $250, then the Contract Value in Covered Funds and Special Funds is reduced by 25%. In a case where the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is $1,200, the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is also reduced by 25%, or $300, rather than by the amount of the transfer, or $250. In addition, the MGIB Ratchet Base for Excluded Funds is increased by the reduction in the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds, or $300.
In a case where the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds is greater than the Contract Value in Covered Funds and Special Funds, a transfer from Covered Funds and Special Funds will result in the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds being reduced by a dollar amount that is higher than the dollar amount of the transfer. A higher reduction to the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds will have a larger negative impact on the MGIB Benefit Base, potentially reducing the minimum guaranteed amount of annuity income upon annuitization under the MGIB rider. This means the benefit you receive under the MGIB rider will not be as great because of the transfer.
Net transfers from Excluded Funds will also reduce the MGIB Ratchet Base for Excluded Funds proportionally. But, the resulting increase in the MGIB Ratchet Base for Covered Funds and Special Funds will equal the lesser of the Contract Value transferred and the reduction in the MGIB Ratchet Base for Excluded Funds. What this means, if in the previous example the transfer was from Excluded Funds to Covered Funds, is there would be no change in the value of your MGIB Benefit Base because of the transfer – the amount of the transfer between the fund categories is the same, $250, because the MGIB Benefit Base calculation is based on the Contract Value allocated to Excluded Funds, versus the calculation basis for Excluded Funds with the MGIB Charge Base. The MGIB Charge Base calculation is instead based on the MGIB Ratchet Base for Excluded Funds. As a result, this same transfer, having no change in the value of your MGIB Benefit Base, would result in the MGIB Charge Base being reduced. The net effect of this transfer: you pay less for the same minimum guaranteed amount of annuity income upon annuitization of the MGIB rider.
MGIB Date. Your MGIB Date is the next Contract anniversary occurring after the date when you decide to exercise your right to annuitize under the MGIB rider, or any other special exercise date that we may make available upon prior written notice.
MGIB Annuity Income. Ordinarily, the amount of income that will be available to you on the Annuity Start Date is based on your Contract Value, the annuity option you selected and the guaranteed income factors or the income factors in effect on the date you annuitize. If you purchase the MGIB rider, the amount of income that will be available to you upon annuitization on the MGIB Date is the greatest of:
Your annuity income based on your Contract Value on the MGIB Date adjusted for any Market Value Adjustment (see APPENDIX C) applied to the guaranteed income factors specified in your Contract for the annuity option you selected;
Your annuity income based on your Contract Value on the MGIB Date adjusted for any Market Value Adjustment (see APPENDIX C) applied to the then-current income factors in effect for the annuity option you selected; and
The MGIB annuity income based on your MGIB Benefit Base on the MGIB Date applied to the MGIB income factors specified in your rider for the MGIB annuity option you selected. Prior to applying the MGIB income factors, we will adjust the MGIB Benefit Base for any Premium Credit deductions, surrender charge, premium tax recovery and Market Value Adjustment (see APPENDIX C) that would otherwise apply at annuitization.








29


MGIB Income Factors. The guaranteed factors contained in the MGIB rider generally provide lower payout per $1,000 of value applied than the guaranteed income factors found in your Contract. Although the minimum income provided under the rider can be determined in advance, the Contract Value in the future is unknown, so the income provided under a Contract with the MGIB rider attached may be greater or less than the income that would be provided under the Contract without the rider. Generally, the income calculated under the MGIB rider will be greater than the income provided under the Contract whenever the MGIB Benefit Base is sufficiently in excess of the Contract Value to offset the additional conservatism reflected in the MGIB rider’s income factors compared to those in the Contract. The income factors in the MGIB rider generally reflect a lower interest rate and more conservative mortality than the income factors in the Contract. The degree of relative excess that the income factors require to produce more income will vary for each individual circumstance. If the Contract Value exceeds the MGIB Benefit Base at time of annuitization, the Contract will always produce greater income than the MGIB rider. Please see “APPENDIX F – Examples of Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Calculation.”
MGIB Annuity Options. Prior to your latest Annuity Start Date, you may choose to exercise your right to receive payments under the MGIB rider. Payments under the rider begin on the MGIB Date. The MGIB must be exercised in the 30-day period prior to any Contract anniversary. At your request, the Company may in its discretion extend the latest Contract Annuity Start Date without extending the MGIB Date. The following are the MGIB annuity options available under the MGIB rider:
Income for life (single life or joint life with 100% survivor) and a fixed period;
Income for a fixed period; and
Any other annuity option offered by the Company in conjunction with the MGIB rider on the MGIB Date.
Available MGIB Annuity Options and/or fixed period durations may vary depending on whether the Contract is qualified or non-qualified.  Also, once annuity payments start it may be necessary to modify the amount and/or durations of any remaining payments following your death in order to comply with the Tax Code.  See FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS.
Once during the life of the Contract, you have the option to elect to apply up to 50% of the MGIB Benefit Base to one of the MGIB annuity options available under the MGIB rider. This option may only be exercised in the 30 day period prior to a Contract anniversary. The portion of the MGIB Benefit Base so applied will be used to determine the MGIB income, as is otherwise described in the prospectus. The Contract Value will be reduced proportionally. Any subsequent exercise of your right to receive payments under the MGIB rider must be for 100% of the remaining value. The exercise of this partial annuitization of the MGIB Benefit Base does not affect your right to annuitize remaining value under the Contract without regard to the MGIB rider. The amount applied to the partial annuitization will be treated as a withdrawal for purposes of adjusting Contract and MGIB rider values. This means the Contract and MGIB rider values will be adjusted proportionally. See “Calculation of MGIB Rollup Bases” and “Calculation of MGIB Ratchet Bases” above. Surrender charges will apply to amounts applied to partial annuitization.
Notification. On or before 30 days prior to each possible MGIB Date, we will provide you with a notification which will include an estimate of the amount of MGIB annuity benefit available if you choose to exercise it. We will determine the actual amount of the MGIB annuity benefit as of the MGIB Date.
Change of Owner and Annuitant. The MGIB rider will terminate upon a change of ownership unless the change is due to spousal continuation at the time of the owner’s death. Once you purchase the MGIB rider, the Annuitant may not be changed except when an Annuitant who is not a Contract Owner dies prior to annuitization. In such a case, a new Annuitant may be named in accordance with the provisions of your Contract. The MGIB Benefit Base is unaffected and continues to accumulate.
Death of Owner. The MGIB rider and the MGIB rider charges automatically terminate if you die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract Owners, or at death of the Annuitant if the Contract Owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
The MGIB rider does not restrict or limit your right to annuitize the Contract at any time permitted under the Contract. The MGIB rider does not restrict your right to annuitize the Contract using Contract income factors that may be higher than the MGIB rider income factors.
The benefits associated with the MGIB rider are available only if you annuitize your Contract under the rider and in accordance with the provisions set forth above. Annuitizing using the MGIB may result in a more favorable stream of income payments, and different tax consequences, under your Contract. Because the MGIB rider income factors are generally more conservative than the Contract income factors, the level of lifetime income that it guarantees may be less than the level that might be provided by the application of your Contract Value to the Contract’s applicable annuity factors. You should consider all of your options at the time you begin the income phase of your Contract.

LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“LifePay Plus”) Rider
The LifePay Plus rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of the Annuitant, even if these withdrawals reduce your Contract Value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are concerned that you may outlive your income.

 
Important Note:
 
We introduced the LifePay Plus rider on August 20, 2007, and launched changes to it on April 28, 2008, and January 12, 2009, subject to state approval where applicable. The below information pertains to the form of the LifePay Plus rider which was available for sale from May 1, 2009, through March 15, 2010, in states where approved. If this form of the LifePay Plus rider was not approved for sale in your state when you purchased the rider, then please see APPENDIX I for the information about the form of the LifePay Plus rider which was available to you.
Eligibility. The Annuitant must be the owner or one of the owners, unless the owner is a non-natural owner. Joint Annuitants are not allowed. The maximum issue age is 80 (owner and Annuitant must age qualify). The issue age is the age of the owner (or the Annuitant if there are joint owners or the owner is non-natural) on the rider effective date. The LifePay Plus rider is not available for purchase with the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit. The LifePay Plus rider is subject to broker/dealer availability. Please note that the LifePay Plus rider will not be issued until your Contract Value is allocated in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,” below.
The LifePay Plus rider is no longer available for purchase, including purchase by owners of existing Contracts. Previously, Contracts issued on and after November 1, 2004, were eligible for the LifePay Plus rider, subject to the conditions, requirements and limitations of the prior paragraph. Such Contracts must not already have had a living benefit rider. There is an election form for this purpose. Please contact Customer Service for more information.
Rider Effective Date. The rider effective date is the date that coverage under the LifePay Plus rider begins. If you purchase the LifePay Plus rider when the Contract is issued, the rider effective date is also the Contract Date. If the LifePay Plus rider is added after Contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. A quarterly Contract anniversary occurs once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date.
No Cancellation. Once you purchase the LifePay Plus rider, you may not cancel it unless you: (1) cancel the Contract during the Contract’s free look period; (2) surrender the Contract; (3) begin the income phase and start receiving annuity payments; or (4) otherwise terminate the Contract pursuant to its terms. These events automatically cancel the LifePay Plus rider.
Termination. The LifePay Plus rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefits offered are intended to be available to you while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you: (1) terminate your Contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender your Contract, or begin receiving income phase payments in lieu of payments under the LifePay Plus rider; or (2) die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract Owners, or death of Annuitant if the Contract Owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract. The LifePay Plus rider also terminates with a change in Contract ownership (other than a spousal beneficiary continuation on your death). Other circumstances that may cause the LifePay Plus rider to terminate automatically are discussed below.
Highlights. This paragraph introduces the terminology of the LifePay Plus rider and how its components generally work together. Benefits and guarantees are subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the LifePay Plus rider. More detailed information follows below, with the capitalized words that are underlined indicating headings for ease of reference. The LifePay Plus rider guarantees an amount available for withdrawal from the Contract in any Contract Year once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins – we use the LifePay Plus Base as part of the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is available for withdrawals at your discretion or systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Also, the LifePay Plus rider offers the Income Optimizer. The guarantee continues when the LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, at which time we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (since Contract Value would be zero) until the Annuitant’s death. The LifePay Plus Base is eligible for Annual Ratchets and Step-ups, and subject to adjustment for any Excess Withdrawals. The LifePay Plus rider has an allowance for withdrawals from a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code that would otherwise be Excess Withdrawals. The LifePay Plus rider has a death benefit that is payable upon the owner’s death only when the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than the Contract’s death benefit. The LifePay Plus rider allows for spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code.




31


LifePay Plus Base. The LifePay Plus Base is first calculated when you purchase the LifePay Plus rider: (1) on the Contract Date – equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or (2) after the Contract Date – equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
The LifePay Plus Base is increased, dollar for dollar, by any subsequent premiums (excluding any applicable Premium Credits). We refer to the LifePay Plus Base as the MGWB Base in the LifePay Plus rider.
Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals. Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, withdrawals within a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including for payment of third-party investment advisory fees, have no impact on the LifePay Plus Base. These withdrawals will not incur surrender charges, a negative Market Value Adjustment associated with any Fixed Interest Allocations or any Premium Credit deduction (recapture).
For example, assume the current Contract Value is $90,000 on a Contract with the LifePay Plus rider in the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, the LifePay Plus Base is $100,000, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. Even though a withdrawal of $5,000 would reduce the Contract Value to $85,000, the LifePay Plus Base would remain at its current level (as would the Maximum Annual Withdrawal as well) since the withdrawal did not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. See below for more information about the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
An Excess Withdrawal is a withdrawal either before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins (except for payment of third-party investment advisory fees), or once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, any portion of a withdrawal during a Contract Year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. An Excess Withdrawal is also a withdrawal after spousal continuation of the Contract but before the LifePay Plus rider’s guarantees resume, which occurs on the next quarterly Contract anniversary following spousal continuation. An Excess Withdrawal will cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base – in the same proportion as Contract Value is reduced by the portion of the withdrawal that is considered excess, inclusive of surrender charges, or Market Value Adjustment associated with any Fixed Interest Allocations or any Premium Credit deduction (recapture) (rather than the total amount of the withdrawal). An Excess Withdrawal will also cause the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be recalculated. See APPENDIX G, Illustrations 1, 2 and 6 for examples of the consequences of an Excess Withdrawal.
Please note that any withdrawals before the rider effective date in the same Contract Year when the LifePay Plus rider is added after Contract issue are counted in summing up your withdrawals in that Contract Year to determine whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded.
Annual Ratchet. The LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each Contract anniversary to equal the greater of: (1) the current LifePay Plus Base; or (2) the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). We call this recalculation the Annual Ratchet.
Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, we reserve the right to increase the charge for the LifePay Plus rider upon the Annual Ratchet. You will never pay more than new issues of the LifePay Plus rider, subject to the maximum annual charge, and we promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. We will notify you in writing not less than 30 days before a charge increase. You may avoid the charge increase by canceling the forthcoming Annual Ratchet. Our written notice will outline the procedure you will need to follow to do so. Please note, however, from then on the LifePay Plus Base would no longer be eligible for any Annual Ratchets, so the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage would not be eligible to increase. More information about the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages is below under “Maximum Annual Withdrawal.” Our written notice will also remind you of the consequences of canceling the forthcoming Annual Ratchet.
Step-up. The LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each of the first ten Contract anniversaries after the rider effective date, SO LONG AS you took no withdrawals during the preceding Contract Year – to equal the greatest of: (1) the current LifePay Plus Base; (2) the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months); and (3) the LifePay Plus Base on the previous Contract anniversary, increased by the Step-up.
The amount of the Step-up is the product of the Step-up Tracker on the previous Contract anniversary times the Step-up percent, currently 6%. The Step-up Tracker is only used to calculate the amount of the Step-up. Initially, it equals the LifePay Plus Base. Any premiums received during a Contract Year (excluding any applicable Premium Credits) are added to the Step-up Tracker and eligible for a partial Step-up. Any withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees are subtracted from the Step-up. Like the LifePay Plus Base, the Step-up Tracker is eligible for Annual Ratchets and subject to a proportional adjustment for any Excess Withdrawals.




32


Please note that no partial Step-up is available in the first year after you purchase this rider post issue of the Contract. Your first opportunity for a Step-up will not be until the first Contract anniversary after a full Contract Year has elapsed since the rider effective date. Say, for example, that with a Contract purchased on January 1, 2007, the Contract Owner decides to add the LifePay Plus rider on March 15, 2007. The rider effective date is April 1, 2007, which is the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. Because on January 1, 2008, a full Contract Year will not have elapsed since the rider effective date, the LifePay Plus Base will not be eligible for a step-up. Rather, the first opportunity for a step-up with this Contract is on January 1, 2009.
Lifetime Withdrawal Phase. The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins on the date of your first withdrawal (except those for payment of third-party investment advisory fees), SO LONG AS the Annuitant is age 5912. On this date, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the greater of the current LifePay Base or the current Contract Value on the previous business day (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase will continue until the earliest of:
The date annuity payments begin (see “THE ANNUITY OPTIONS”);
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by an Excess Withdrawal;
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
Surrender of the Contract; or
The death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; Annuitant, in the case of a non-natural person owner), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
The LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero other than by an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” below for more information.
Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is the amount that the LifePay Plus rider guarantees to be available for withdrawal from the Contract in any Contract Year. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated when the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins and equals the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the Annuitant’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base.
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages are:
Percentages 
Ages
4%
5912 to 64
5%
65 to 75
6%
76 to 79
7%
80+
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is thereafter recalculated whenever the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated, for example, upon the Annual Ratchet or a Step-up. Also, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage can increase with the Annual Ratchet as the Annuitant grows older.
In the event on the date the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins the Contract Value on the previous business day (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) is greater than the LifePay Plus Base, then before the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated, the LifePay Plus Base will be set equal to that Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). The greater the LifePay Plus Base, the greater the amount guaranteed to be available to you for withdrawals under the LifePay Plus rider in calculating the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the first time.
Income Optimizer. The LifePay Plus rider offers the option to elect to receive the Maximum Annual Withdrawal in systematic installments over the Annuitant’s life. We call this option the Income Optimizer. You may elect the Income Optimizer during the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase. This election is in lieu of the Contract’s other annuity options, and these payments will be subject to the same tax treatment as an annuity payment. Please see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” for more information. The Income Optimizer is only available on nonqualified Contracts.
The frequency of payments under the Income Optimizer may be annual, quarterly or monthly. While you are receiving payments under the Income Optimizer, the LifePay Plus Base remains eligible for Annual Ratchets. Your Contract may still have a Contract Value and death benefit. Spousal continuation of payments under the Income Optimizer is permitted, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code. Any withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal are Excess Withdrawals that would cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base, as well as a reduction of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

Your election is subject to restrictions and you may not: (1) revoke your election; (2) add on premiums; (3) exchange the Contract; (4) annuitize the Contract; or (5) change ownership (except as permitted under “Change of Owner or Annuitant” below). Once you choose the frequency of payments, you may not change it. Also, the specified percentage of your Contract Value required to be allocated to Fixed Allocation Funds is higher, and the investment options available for this purpose are limited. Please see “Investment Option Restrictions” below for the details. You may surrender your Contract at any time.
Payments under the Income Optimizer will continue until the Terminal Date, at which time you waive any remaining Contract Value and death benefit and the LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The Terminal Date is the Contract anniversary following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday. Alternatively, you may wish to extend the Terminal Date to the Contract anniversary following the Annuitant’s 115th birthday in order to liquidate your Contract Value that may remain before the LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Regardless, your payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will continue during Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status until the death of the Annuitant. We will notify you in writing in advance of the Terminal Date to remind you of this alternative and how to extend the Terminal Date.
Lifetime Income Annuity Option. In the event the Contract’s annuity commencement date is reached while the LifePay Plus rider is in the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, you may elect a life only annuity option, in lieu of the Contract’s other annuity options. Payments under this option are based on the minimum annual payment factors for each $1,000 reflected in the rider data table and will never be less than the same frequency of payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal at that time. For more information about the Contract’s annuity options, see “THE ANNUITY OPTIONS.”
Required Minimum Distributions. The LifePay Plus rider allows for withdrawals from a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal without causing a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base and recalculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. If your Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before December 31 of that year), applicable to this Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, then an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Once you have taken the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract Year, the dollar amount of any additional withdrawals will count first against and reduce any unused Additional Withdrawal Amount for the previous calendar year followed by any Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year – without constituting an Excess Withdrawal. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 3 for an example.
Withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and all available Additional Withdrawal Amounts are Excess Withdrawals that will cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be recalculated. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 5 for an example of the consequences of an Excess Withdrawal with an Additional Withdrawal Amount. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is available on a calendar year basis and recalculated every January, reset to equal that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date. Any unused amount of the Additional Withdrawal Amount carries over into the next calendar year and is available through the end of that year, at which time any amount remaining will expire. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 4 for an example of the Additional Withdrawal Amount being carried over. Please note that there is no adjustment to the Additional Withdrawal Amount for Annual Ratchets or upon spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus Rider.
Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status when your Contract Value is reduced to zero other than by an Excess Withdrawal. (A withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal that causes your Contract Value to be reduced to zero will terminate the LifePay Plus rider.).You will no longer be entitled to make withdrawals, but instead will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. When the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status: (1) the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the LifePay Plus rider; (2) no further premium payments will be accepted; and (3) any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will cease upon the death of the Annuitant at which time both the rider and the Contract will terminate. The rider will remain in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status until it terminates without value upon the Annuitant’s death.
If when the LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status your net withdrawals to date are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that Contract Year, then we will pay you the difference immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the first Contract anniversary following the date the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.


34


In the event Contract Value is reduced to zero before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status is deferred until the Contract anniversary on or after the Annuitant is age 5912. During this time, the LifePay Plus rider’s death benefit remains payable upon the Annuitant’s death. Also, the LifePay Plus Base remains eligible for Step-ups. Once the LifePay Plus rider enters the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, periodic payments will begin in an annual amount equal to the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the Annuitant’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base.
You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a systematic withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the Contract Value will be withdrawn from your Contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at the time the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made annually, then the payments will be made on the next business day following each Contract anniversary.
Investment Option Restrictions. While the LifePay Plus rider is in effect, there are limits on the funds to which your Contract Value may be allocated. Contract Value allocated to funds other than Accepted Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least the required specified percentage of such Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds, which is 30%; 40% with the Income Optimizer.
See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing” below. We have these investment option restrictions to lessen the likelihood we would have to make payments under this rider. We require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to the Contract. The LifePay Plus rider will not be issued until your Contract Value is allocated in accordance with these investment option restrictions. The timing of when and how we apply these investment option restrictions is discussed further below.
Accepted Funds. The currently available Accepted Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. No rebalancing is necessary when Contract Value is allocated entirely to Accepted Funds. We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract Value allocated to such funds after the date of the change.
Fixed Allocation Funds. The currently available Fixed Allocation Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
Other Funds. All portfolios available under the Contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is less than the required specified percentage of the total Contract Value allocated among the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any LifePay Plus Rebalancing Date (30%; 40% with the Income Optimizer), we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that the required specified percentage of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done proportionally from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds and will be the last transaction processed on that date. The LifePay Plus Rebalancing Dates occur on the rider effective date and each quarterly Contract anniversary. Also, after the following transactions:
Receipt of additional premiums;
Transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
Withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.” You will be notified that Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred, along with your new allocations, by a confirmation statement that will be mailed to you after Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred.
In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in it. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the LifePay Plus rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the LifePay Plus rider if you do not wish to have your Contract Value reallocated in this manner.


35


Death of Owner or Annuitant. The LifePay Plus rider terminates (with the rider’s charges assessed proportionately) on the date of death of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner), or the Annuitant if there is a non-natural owner. Also, an LifePay Plus rider that is in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status terminates on the date of the Annuitant’s death.
LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base. The LifePay Plus rider has a death benefit that is payable upon the owner’s death only when the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than the Contract’s death benefit. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is first calculated when you purchase the LifePay Plus rider: (1) on the Contract Date it is equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or (2) after the Contract Date it is equal to the Contract Value on the rider effective date (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is increased by the dollar amount of any subsequent premiums (excluding any applicable Premium Credits) and subject to any withdrawal adjustments. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is reduced by the dollar amount of any withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, and for any withdrawals once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins that are not Excess Withdrawals, including withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is subject to a proportional reduction for an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “LifePay Plus Base – Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals” above for more information.
There is no additional charge for the death benefit associated with the LifePay Plus rider. Please note that the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is not eligible to participate in Annual Ratchets or Step-ups.
In the event the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than zero when the LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, each periodic payment reduces the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base dollar for dollar until the earlier date of the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base being reduced to zero or the Annuitant’s death. Upon the Annuitant’s death, any remaining LifePay Plus death benefit is payable to the beneficiary in a lump sum.
Spousal Continuation. If the surviving spouse of the deceased owner continues the Contract, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code (see “DEATH BENEFIT CHOICES – Continuation After Death – Spouse”), the rider will also continue, provided the spouse becomes the Annuitant and sole owner. At the time the Contract is continued, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied after the deceased owner’s death), inclusive of the guaranteed death benefit – UNLESS the continuing spouse is a joint owner and the original Annuitant, OR the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has not yet begun. In this case, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the greater of: (1) the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied after the deceased owner’s death), inclusive of the guaranteed death benefit; and (2) the last calculated LifePay Plus Base, subject to a proportional adjustment for any withdrawals before spousal continuation. Regardless, the LifePay Plus rider’s guarantees resume on the next quarterly Contract anniversary following spousal continuation. Any withdrawals after spousal continuation of the Contract but before the LifePay Plus rider’s guarantees resume are Excess Withdrawals. The LifePay Plus rider remains eligible for the Annual Ratchet upon recalculation of the LifePay Plus Base.
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is also recalculated at the same time as the LifePay Plus Base; however, there is no Maximum Annual Withdrawal upon spousal continuation until the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins on the date of the first withdrawal after spousal continuation, SO LONG AS the Annuitant is age 5912. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated to equal the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the new Annuitant’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base. There is no adjustment to the Additional Withdrawal Amount upon spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider for a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code. Any withdrawals before the owner’s death and spousal continuation are counted in summing up your withdrawals in that Contract Year to determine whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded.
Please note, if the Contract Value on the previous business day (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) is greater than the LifePay Plus Base on the date the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, then the LifePay Plus Base will be set equal to that Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) before the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated. The rider will be eligible for any Step-ups that may remain, and the Step-up Tracker will be recalculated at the same time as the LifePay Plus Base. Also, upon spousal continuation, the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base equals the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base before the owner’s death, subject to any proportional adjustment for any withdrawals before spousal continuation of the rider.







36


In the event the Income Optimizer was elected, systematic installments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will continue, SO LONG AS the surviving spouse as Annuitant is age 5912. The amount of these continuing payments may change since both the LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal are recalculated based on the new Annuitant’s age. The rider under the Income Optimizer will remain subject to the higher required specified percentage for allocations to the Fixed Allocation Funds, even if upon spousal continuation the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has not yet begun, and there is no Maximum Annual Withdrawal, because the Annuitant is not yet age 5912.
Contrary to the Joint LifePay Plus rider, spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider would likely NOT take effect at the same time as the Contract is continued. As noted above, the LifePay Plus rider provides for spousal continuation only on a quarterly Contract anniversary (subject to the spouse becoming the Annuitant and sole owner). If you are concerned about the availability of benefits being interrupted with spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider, you might instead want to purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider.
Change of Owner or Annuitant. The LifePay Plus rider terminates (with the rider’s charge assessed proportionately) upon an ownership change or change of Annuitant, except for:
Spousal continuation as described above;
Change of owner from one custodian to another custodian;
Change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual;
Change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
Collateral assignments;
Change in trust as owner where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual;
Change of owner from an individual to a trust where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual;
Change of owner from a trust to an individual where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual;
Change of owner pursuant to a court order; and
Change of qualified plan ownership to that of the beneficial owner.
Surrender Charges. Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, your withdrawals within a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (and any applicable Additional Withdrawal Amount) are not subject to surrender charges. We waive any surrender charges otherwise applicable to your withdrawal in a Contract Year that is less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Excess Withdrawals are subject to surrender charges, whether or not the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has begun. Once your Contract Value is reduced to zero, any periodic payments under the LifePay Plus rider would not be subject to surrender charges. Moreover, with no Contract Value, none of your Contract level recurring charges (e.g., the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge) would be deducted. See APPENDIX G for examples.
Loans. No loans are permitted on Contracts with the LifePay Plus rider.
Taxation. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the LifePay Plus Rider, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits.”
Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider
The Joint LifePay Plus rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of both you and your spouse, even if these withdrawals reduce your Contract Value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are married and concerned that you and your spouse may outlive your income.

 
Important Note:
 
We introduced the LifePay Plus rider on August 20, 2007, and launched changes to it on April 28, 2008, and January 12, 2009, subject to state approval where applicable. The below information pertains to the new form of the LifePay Plus rider which was available for sale from May 1, 2009, through March 15, 2010, in states where approved. If this form of the LifePay Plus rider was not approved for sale in your state when you purchased the rider, then please see APPENDIX I for the information about the form of the LifePay Plus rider which was available to you.

Eligibility. The Joint LifePay Plus rider is only available for purchase by individuals who are married at the time of purchase (spouses) and eligible to elect spousal continuation (as defined by the Tax Code) of the Contract when the death benefit becomes payable, subject to the owner, Annuitant and beneficiary requirements below. The maximum issue age is 80. Both spouses must meet the issue age requirement. The issue age is the age of each owner on the rider effective date. The LifePay Plus rider is not available for purchase with the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit. The Joint LifePay Plus rider is subject to broker/dealer availability. Please note that the Joint LifePay Plus rider will not be issued unless the required owner, Annuitant and beneficiary designations are met and until your Contract Value is allocated in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions” below.
The Joint LifePay Plus rider is no longer available for purchase, including purchase by owners of existing Contracts. Previously, Contracts issued on and after September 12, 2006 were eligible for the Joint LifePay Plus rider, subject to the conditions, requirements and limitations of the prior paragraph. Such Contracts must not already have had a living benefit rider. There is an election form for this purpose. Please contact Customer Service for more information.
Owner, Annuitant and Beneficiary Designations. For nonqualified Contracts: (1) joint owners must be spouses, and one of the owners the Annuitant; and (2) for a Contract with only one owner, the owner’s spouse must be the sole primary beneficiary. Except as noted below for custodial IRAs, for qualified Contracts, there may only be one owner who must also be the Annuitant, and then the owner’s spouse must also be the sole primary beneficiary. Non-natural, custodial owners are only allowed with IRAs, and the Annuitant must be the beneficial owner of the custodial IRA, and beneficiary designations for custodial IRAs are subject to the same limits as any other qualified Contract. We require the custodian to provide us the name and date of birth of both the owner and owner’s spouse. We do not maintain individual owner and beneficiary designations for custodial IRAs. We reserve the right to verify the date of birth and social security number of both spouses.
Rider Effective Date. The rider effective date is the date that coverage under the Joint LifePay Plus rider begins. If you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider when the Contract is issued, the rider effective date is also the Contract Date. If the Joint LifePay Plus rider is added after Contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. A quarterly Contract anniversary occurs once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date.
Active Spouse. An Active Spouse is the person (people) upon whose life and age the guarantees are calculated under the Joint LifePay Plus rider. There must be two Active Spouses when you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider, who are married to each other and either are joint owners, or for a Contract with only one owner, the spouse must be the sole primary beneficiary. You cannot add an Active Spouse after the rider effective date. In general, changes in ownership of the Contract, the Annuitant and/or beneficiary would result in one spouse being deactivated (the spouse is thereafter inactive). An inactive spouse is not eligible to exercise any rights or receive any benefits under the Joint LifePay Plus rider, including continuing the Joint LifePay Plus rider upon spousal continuation of the Contract if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code. Once an Active Spouse is deactivated, the spouse may not become an Active Spouse again. Specific situations that would result in a spouse being deactivated include:
For nonqualified Contracts where the spouses are joint owners, the removal of a joint owner (if that spouse does not automatically become sole primary beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the Contract), or the change of one joint owner to a person other than an Active Spouse;
For nonqualified Contracts where one spouse is the owner and the other spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, as well as for IRA Contracts (including custodial IRAs), the addition of a joint owner who is not also an Active Spouse or any change of beneficiary (including the addition of primary beneficiaries); or
The spouse’s death.
 
An owner may also request that a spouse be deactivated. Both owners must agree when there are joint owners. However, all charges for the Joint LifePay Plus rider would continue to apply, even after a spouse is deactivated, regardless of the reason. So please be sure to understand the impact of any beneficiary or owner changes on the Joint LifePay Plus rider before requesting any changes. Also, please note that a divorce terminates the ability of an ex-spouse to continue the Contract. See “Divorce” below for more information.
No Cancellation. Once you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider, you may not cancel it unless you: (1) cancel the Contract during the Contract’s free look period; (2) surrender the Contract; (3) begin the income phase and start receiving annuity payments; or (4) otherwise terminate the Contract pursuant to its terms. These events automatically cancel the Joint LifePay Plus rider.






38


Termination. The Joint LifePay Plus rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefits offered are intended to be available to you and your spouse while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you: terminate your Contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender your Contract, or begin receiving income phase payments in lieu of payments under the Joint LifePay Plus rider; or die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract Owners, or death of Annuitant if the Contract Owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract (and your spouse is an Active Spouse). The Joint LifePay Plus rider also terminates with a change in Contract ownership (other than a spousal beneficiary continuation on your death by an Active Spouse). Other circumstances that may cause the Joint LifePay Plus rider to terminate automatically are discussed below.
Highlights. This paragraph introduces the terminology of the Joint LifePay Plus rider and how its components generally work together. Benefits and guarantees are subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the Joint LifePay Plus rider. More detailed information follows below, with the capitalized words that are underlined indicating headings for ease of reference. The Joint LifePay Plus rider guarantees an amount available for withdrawal from the Contract in any Contract Year once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins – we use the LifePay Plus Base as part of the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is available for withdrawals at your discretion or systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Also, the LifePay Plus rider offers the Income Optimizer. The guarantee continues when the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, at which time we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (since Contract Value would be zero) until the last Active Spouse’s death. The LifePay Plus Base is eligible for Annual Ratchets and Step-ups, and subject to adjustment for any Excess Withdrawals. The Joint LifePay Plus rider has an allowance for withdrawals from a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code that would otherwise be Excess Withdrawals. The Joint LifePay Plus rider has a death benefit that is payable upon the owner’s death only when the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than the Contract’s death benefit. The Joint LifePay Plus rider allows for spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code.
LifePay Plus Base. The LifePay Plus Base is first calculated when you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider: (1) on the Contract Date – equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or (2) after the Contract Date – equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
The LifePay Plus Base is increased, dollar for dollar, by any subsequent premiums (excluding any applicable Premium Credits). We refer to the LifePay Plus Base as the MGWB Base in the Joint LifePay Plus rider.
Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals. Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, withdrawals within a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including for payment of third-party investment advisory fees, have no impact on the LifePay Plus Base. These withdrawals will not incur surrender charges, a negative Market Value Adjustment associated with any Fixed Interest Allocations or any Premium Credit deduction (recapture).
For example, assume the current Contract Value is $90,000 on a Contract with the Joint LifePay Plus rider in the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, the LifePay Plus Base is $100,000, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. Even though a withdrawal of $5,000 would reduce the Contract Value to $85,000, the LifePay Plus Base would remain at its current level (as would the Maximum Annual Withdrawal as well) since the withdrawal did not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. See below for more information about the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
An Excess Withdrawal is a withdrawal either before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins (except for payment of third-party investment advisory fees), or once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, any portion of a withdrawal during a Contract Year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. An Excess Withdrawal will cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base – in the same proportion as Contract Value is reduced by the portion of the withdrawal that is considered excess, inclusive of surrender charges, Market Value Adjustment associated with any Fixed Interest Allocations or any Premium Credit deduction (recapture) (rather than the total amount of the withdrawal). An Excess Withdrawal will also cause the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be recalculated. See APPENDIX G, Illustrations 1, 2 and 6 for examples of the consequences of an Excess Withdrawal.
Please note that any withdrawals before the rider effective date in the same Contract Year when the Joint LifePay Plus rider is added after Contract issue are counted in summing up your withdrawals in that Contract Year to determine whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded.
Annual Ratchet. The LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each Contract anniversary – to equal the greater of: (1) the current LifePay Plus Base; or (2) the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). We call this recalculation the Annual Ratchet.

39


Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, we reserve the right to increase the charge for the Joint LifePay Plus rider upon the Annual Ratchet. You will never pay more than new issues of the Joint LifePay Plus rider, subject to the maximum annual charge, and we promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. We will notify you in writing not less than 30 days before a charge increase. You may avoid the charge increase by canceling the forthcoming Annual Ratchet. Our written notice will outline the procedure you will need to follow to do so. Please note, however, from then on the LifePay Plus Base would no longer be eligible for any Annual Ratchets, so the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage would not be eligible to increase. More information about the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages is below under “Maximum Annual Withdrawal.” Our written notice will also remind you of the consequences of canceling the forthcoming Annual Ratchet.
Step-up. The LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each of the first ten Contract anniversaries after the rider effective date, SO LONG AS you took no withdrawals during the preceding Contract Year – to equal the greatest of: (1) the current LifePay Plus Base; (2) the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months); and (3) the LifePay Plus Base on the previous Contract anniversary, increased by the Step-up.
The amount of the Step-up is the product of the Step-up Tracker on the previous Contract anniversary times the Step-up percent, currently 6%. The Step-up Tracker is only used to calculate the amount of the Step-up. Initially, it equals the LifePay Plus Base. Any premiums received during a Contract Year (excluding any applicable Premium Credits) are added to the Step-up Tracker and eligible for a partial Step-up. Any withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees are subtracted from the Step-up. Like the LifePay Plus Base, the Step-up Tracker is eligible for Annual Ratchets and subject to a proportional adjustment for any Excess Withdrawals.
Please note that no partial Step-up is available in the first year after you purchase this rider post issue of the Contract. Your first opportunity for a Step-up will not be until the first Contract anniversary after a full Contract Year has elapsed since the rider effective date. Say, for example, that with a Contract purchased on January 1, 2007, the Contract Owner decides to add the Joint LifePay Plus rider on March 15, 2007. The rider effective date is April 1, 2007, which is the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. Because on January 1, 2008 a full Contract Year will not have elapsed since the rider effective date, the LifePay Plus Base will not be eligible for a step-up. Rather, the first opportunity for a step-up with this Contract is on January 1, 2009.
Lifetime Withdrawal Phase. The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins on the date of your first withdrawal (except those for payment of third-party investment advisory fees), SO LONG AS the youngest Active Spouse is age 5912. On this date, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the greater of the current LifePay Base or the Contract Value on the previous business day (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase will continue until the earliest of:
The date annuity payments begin (see “THE ANNUITY OPTIONS”);
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by an Excess Withdrawal;
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
Surrender of the Contract;
The death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; Annuitant, in the case of a non-natural person owner), unless your spouse beneficiary is an Active Spouse who elects to continue the Contract; or
The last Active Spouse dies.
The Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero other than by an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” below for more information.
Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is the amount that the Joint LifePay Plus rider guarantees to be available for withdrawal from the Contract in any Contract Year. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated when the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins and equals the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the younger Active Spouse’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base.
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages are:
Percentages 
Ages
4%
5912 to 64
5%
65 to 75
6%
76 to 79
7%
80+

The Maximum Annual Withdrawal thereafter is recalculated whenever the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated, for example, upon The Annual Ratchet or a Step-up. Also, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage can increase with the Annual Ratchet as the younger Active Spouse grows older.


40


In the event on the date the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins the Contract Value on the previous business day (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) is greater than the LifePay Plus Base, then before the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated, the LifePay Plus Base will be set equal to that Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). The greater the LifePay Plus Base, the greater the amount guaranteed to be available to you for withdrawals under the Joint LifePay Plus rider in calculating the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the first time.
Income Optimizer. The Joint LifePay Plus rider offers the option to elect to receive the Maximum Annual Withdrawal in systematic installments over the lives of both Active Spouses. We call this option the Income Optimizer. You may elect the Income Optimizer during the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase. This election is in lieu of the Contract’s other annuity options, and these payments will be subject to the same tax treatment as an annuity payment. Please see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” for more information. The Income Optimizer is only available on nonqualified Contracts.
The frequency of payments under the Income Optimizer may be annual, quarterly or monthly. While you are receiving payments under the Income Optimizer, the LifePay Plus Base remains eligible for Annual Ratchets. Your Contract may still have a Contract Value and death benefit. Spousal continuation of payments under the Income Optimizer is permitted. Any withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal are Excess Withdrawals that would cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base, as well as a reduction of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Your election is subject to restrictions and you may not: (1) revoke your election; (2) add on premiums; (3) exchange the Contract; (4) annuitize the Contract; or (4) change ownership (except as permitted under “Change of Owner or Annuitant” below). Once you choose the frequency of payments, you may not change it. Also, the specified percentage of your Contract Value required to be allocated to Fixed Allocation Funds is higher, and the investment options available for this purpose are limited. Please see “Investment Option Restrictions” below for the details. You may surrender your Contract at any time.
Payments under the Income Optimizer will continue until the Terminal Date, at which time you waive any remaining Contract Value and death benefit and the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The Terminal Date is the Contract anniversary following the youngest Active Spouse’s 95th birthday. Alternatively, you may wish to extend the Terminal Date to the Contract anniversary following the youngest Active Spouse’s 115th birthday in order to liquidate your Contract Value that may remain before the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Regardless, your payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will continue during the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status until the death of the last Active Spouse. We will notify you in writing in advance of the Terminal Date to remind you of this alternative and how to extend the Terminal Date.
Lifetime Income Annuity Option. In the event the Contract’s annuity commencement date is reached while the Joint LifePay Plus rider is in the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, you may elect a life only annuity option, in lieu of the Contract’s other annuity options. Payments under this option will be joint life if both Active Spouses are living, or for the life of the only Active Spouse, and are based on the minimum annual payment factors for each $1,000 reflected in the rider data table. Also, these payments will never be less than the same frequency of payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal at that time. For more information about the Contract’s annuity options, see “THE ANNUITY OPTIONS.”
Required Minimum Distributions. The Joint LifePay Plus rider allows for withdrawals from a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal without causing a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base and recalculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. If your Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before December 31 of that year), applicable to this Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, then an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Once you have taken the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract Year, the dollar amount of any additional withdrawals will count first against and reduce any unused Additional Withdrawal Amount for the previous calendar year followed by any Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year – without constituting an Excess Withdrawal. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 3 for an example.
Withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and all available Additional Withdrawal Amounts are Excess Withdrawals that will cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be recalculated. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 5 for an example of the consequences of an Excess Withdrawal with an Additional Withdrawal Amount. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is available on a calendar year basis and recalculated every January, reset to equal that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date. Any unused amount of the Additional Withdrawal Amount carries over into the next calendar year and is available through the end of that year, at which time any amount remaining will expire. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 4 for an example of the Additional Withdrawal Amount being carried over. Please note that there is no adjustment to the Additional Withdrawal Amount for Annual Ratchets or upon spousal continuation of the Joint LifePay Plus Rider.

Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status when your Contract Value is reduced to zero other than by an Excess Withdrawal. (A withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal that causes your Contract Value to be reduced to zero will terminate the Joint LifePay Plus rider.) You will no longer be entitled to make withdrawals, but instead will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. When the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status: (1) the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the Joint LifePay Plus rider; (2) no further premium payments will be accepted; and (3) any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will cease upon the death of the last Active Spouse at which time both the rider and the Contract will terminate. The rider will remain in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status until it terminates without value upon the last Active Spouse’s death.
If when the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status your net withdrawals to date are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that Contract Year, then we will pay you the difference immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the first Contract anniversary following the date the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.
In the event Contract Value is reduced to zero before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status is deferred until the Contract anniversary on or after the youngest Active Spouse is age 5912. During this time, the Joint LifePay Plus rider’s death benefit remains payable upon the last Active Spouse’s death. Also, the LifePay Plus Base remains eligible for Step-ups. Once the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, periodic payments will begin in an annual amount equal to the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the youngest Active Spouse’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base. If an Active Spouse were to die while Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status is deferred, then when the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, and the annual amount of the periodic payments, would be based on the remaining Active Spouse’s age.
You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a systematic withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the Contract Value will be withdrawn from your Contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at the time the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made annually, then the payments will be made on the next business day following each Contract anniversary.
Investment Option Restrictions. While the Joint LifePay Plus rider is in effect, there are limits on the portfolios to which your Contract Value may be allocated. Contract Value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least the required specified percentage of such Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds, which is 30%; 40% with the Income Optimizer. See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below. We have these investment option restrictions to lessen the likelihood we have to make payments under this rider. We require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to the Contract. The Joint LifePay Plus rider will not be issued until your Contract Value is allocated in accordance with these investment option restrictions. The timing of when and how we apply these investment option restrictions is discussed further below.
Accepted Funds. The currently available Accepted Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. No rebalancing is necessary when Contract Value is allocated entirely to Accepted Funds. We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract Value allocated to such funds after the date of the change.
Fixed Allocation Funds. The currently available Fixed Allocation Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
Other Funds. All funds available under the Contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.





42


Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is less than the required specified percentage of the total Contract Value allocated among the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any Joint LifePay Plus Rebalancing Date (30%; 40% with the Income Optimizer), we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that the required specified percentage of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done proportionally from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds and will be the last transaction processed on that date. The Joint LifePay Plus Rebalancing Dates occur on the rider effective date and each quarterly Contract anniversary. Also, after the following transactions:
Receipt of additional premiums;
Transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
Withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.” You will be notified that Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred, along with your new allocations, by a confirmation statement that will be mailed to you after Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred.
In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in it. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider if you do not wish to have your Contract Value reallocated in this manner.
Divorce. Generally, in the event of divorce, the spouse who retains ownership of the Contract will continue to be entitled to all rights and benefits of the Joint LifePay Plus rider, while the ex-spouse will no longer have any such rights or be entitled to any such benefits. In the event of a divorce during the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, the Joint LifePay Plus rider would continue until the owner’s death (first owner in the case of joint owners, or Annuitant in the case of a custodial IRA). Although spousal continuation may be available under the Tax Code for a subsequent spouse, the Joint LifePay Plus rider cannot be continued by the new spouse. As a result of the divorce, we may be required to withdraw assets for the benefit of an ex-spouse. Any such withdrawal would be considered a withdrawal for purposes of the LifePay Plus Base. See “LifePay Plus Base - Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals” above. In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, for nonqualified Contracts there will be no change in the amount of your periodic payments and payments will continue until both spouses are deceased. For qualified contracts, payments may continue, subject to the rules related to distributions on death.  See FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Required Distributions on Death (401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), IRAs and Roth IRAs).
Death of Owner or Annuitant. The Joint LifePay Plus rider terminates (with the rider’s charges assessed proportionately) on the earlier of the date of death of the last Active Spouse, or when the surviving spouse decides not to continue the Contract.
LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base. The Joint LifePay Plus rider has a death benefit that is payable upon the first owner’s death only when the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than the Contract’s death benefit. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is first calculated when you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider: (1) on the Contract Date it is equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or (2) after the Contract Date it is equal to the Contract Value on the rider effective date (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is increased by the dollar amount of any subsequent premiums (excluding any applicable Premium Credits) and subject to any withdrawal adjustments. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is reduced by the dollar amount of any withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, and for any withdrawals once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins that are not Excess Withdrawals, including withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is subject to a proportional reduction for an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “LifePay Plus Base – Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals” for more information.
There is no additional charge for the death benefit associated with the Joint LifePay Plus rider. Please note that the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is not eligible to participate in Annual Ratchets or Step-ups.




43


In the event the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than zero when the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, each periodic payment reduces the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base dollar for dollar until the earlier date of the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base being reduced to zero or the last Active Spouse’s death. Upon the last Active Spouse’s death, any remaining LifePay Plus death benefit is payable to the beneficiary in a lump sum.
Spousal Continuation. If the surviving spouse of the deceased owner continues the Contract, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code (see “DEATH BENEFIT CHOICES – Continuation After Death – Spouse”), the rider will also continue, SO LONG AS the surviving spouse in an Active Spouse. At that time, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the greater of: (1) the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied after the deceased owner’s death), inclusive of the guaranteed death benefit; and (2) the last calculated LifePay Plus Base, subject to a proportional adjustment for any withdrawals before spousal continuation.
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is also recalculated; however, there is no Maximum Annual Withdrawal upon spousal continuation until the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins on the date of the first withdrawal after spousal continuation, SO LONG AS the last Active Spouse is age 5912. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated to equal the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the last Active Spouse’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base. There is no adjustment to the Additional Withdrawal Amount upon spousal continuation of the Joint LifePay Plus rider for a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code. Any withdrawals before the owner’s death and spousal continuation are counted in summing up your withdrawals in that Contract Year to determine whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded.
Please note, if the Contract Value on the previous business day (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) is greater than the LifePay Plus Base on the date the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, then the LifePay Plus Base will be set equal to that Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) before the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated. The rider will be eligible for any Step-ups that may remain, and the Step-up Tracker will be recalculated at the same time as the LifePay Plus Base. Also, upon spousal continuation, the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base equals the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base before the owner’s death, subject to any proportional adjustment for any withdrawals before spousal continuation of the rider.
Contrary to the Joint LifePay Plus rider, spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider would likely NOT take effect at the same time as the Contract is continued. As noted above, the LifePay Plus rider provides for spousal continuation only on a quarterly Contract anniversary (subject to the spouse becoming the Annuitant and sole owner). If you are concerned about the availability of benefits being interrupted with spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider, you might instead want to purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider.
Change of Owner or Annuitant. The Joint LifePay Plus rider terminates (with the rider’s charge assessed proportionately) upon an ownership change or change of Annuitant, except for:
Spousal continuation as described above;
Change of owner from one custodian to another custodian;
Change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual (owner’s spouse must be named sole primary beneficiary to remain an Active Spouse);
Change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
Collateral assignments;
For nonqualified Contracts only, the addition of a joint owner, provided the added joint owner is the original owner’s spouse and is an Active Spouse when added as a joint owner;
For nonqualified Contracts only, the removal of a joint owner, provided the removed joint owner is an Active Spouse and becomes the sole primary beneficiary; and
Change of owner where the owner becomes the sole primary beneficiary and the sole primary beneficiary becomes the owner, provided both spouses are Active Spouses at the time of the change.
Surrender Charges. Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, your withdrawals within a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (and any applicable Additional Withdrawal Amount) are not subject to surrender charges. We waive any surrender charges otherwise applicable to your withdrawal in a Contract Year that is less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. We waive any surrender charges otherwise applicable to your withdrawal in a Contract Year that is less than equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Excess Withdrawals are subject to surrender charges, whether or not the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has begun. Once your Contract Value is reduced to zero, any periodic payments under the Joint LifePay Plus rider would not be subject to surrender charges. Moreover, with no Contract Value, none of your Contract level recurring charges (e.g., the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge) would be deducted. See APPENDIX G for examples.
Loans. No loans are permitted on Contracts with the Joint LifePay Plus rider.
Taxation. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the Joint LifePay Plus Rider, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits.”

WITHDRAWALS
Except under certain qualified Contracts, you may withdraw all or part of your money any time during the accumulation phase and before the death of the Contract Owner. If you request a withdrawal for more than 90% of the Cash Surrender Value, and the remaining Cash Surrender Value after the withdrawal is less than $1,000, we will treat it as a request to surrender the Contract. If any single withdrawal or the sum of withdrawals exceeds the Free Withdrawal Amount, you will incur a surrender charge. The Free Withdrawal Amount in any Contract Year is 10% of your Contract Value, including any Premium Credits, on the date of the withdrawal less any prior withdrawals during that Contract Year. The Free Withdrawal Amount does not constitute a withdrawal of premiums.
You need to submit to us a request specifying the Fixed Interest Allocations or subaccounts from which to withdraw amounts, otherwise we will make the withdrawal proportionally from all of the subaccounts in which you are invested. If there is not enough Contract Value in the subaccounts, we will deduct the balance of the withdrawal from your Fixed Interest Allocations starting with the guaranteed interest periods nearest their maturity dates until we have honored your request. We will apply a Market Value Adjustment to any withdrawal from your Fixed Interest Allocation taken more than 30 days before its maturity date. Definitive guidance on the proper federal tax treatment of the Market Value Adjustment has not been issued. You may want to discuss the potential tax consequences of a Market Value Adjustment with your tax and/or legal adviser. We will determine the Contract Value as of the close of business on the day we receive your withdrawal request at Customer Service. The Contract Value may be more or less than the premium payments made.
If any limitation on allocations to the Restricted Funds has been exceeded, subsequent withdrawals must be taken so that the percentage of Contract Value in the Restricted Funds following the withdrawal would not be greater than the percentage of Contract Value in the Restricted Funds prior to the withdrawal. In this event, you would either need to take your withdrawal from the Restricted Funds or proportionally from all variable subaccounts.
Please be aware that the benefit we pay under certain optional benefit riders may be reduced by any withdrawals you take while the optional benefit rider is in effect. Withdrawals may be subject to taxation and tax penalties. Consult your tax and/or legal adviser regarding the tax consequences associated with taking withdrawals. You are responsible for determining that withdrawals comply with applicable law. A withdrawal made before the taxpayer reaches age 5912 may result in a 10% penalty tax. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” for more details.
We offer the following three withdrawal options:
Regular Withdrawals
After the free look period, you may make regular withdrawals. Each withdrawal must be a minimum of $100. We will apply a Market Value Adjustment to any regular withdrawal you take from a Fixed Interest Allocation more than 30 days before its maturity date. See APPENDIX C for more information on the application of Market Value Adjustment.
Systematic Withdrawals
You may choose to receive automatic systematic withdrawal payments: (1) from the Contract Value in the subaccounts in which you are invested; or (2) from the interest earned in your Fixed Interest Allocations. You may not elect the systematic withdrawal option if you are taking IRA withdrawals. Systematic withdrawals may be taken monthly, quarterly or annually. If you have Contract Value allocated to one or more Restricted Funds, and you elect to receive systematic withdrawals from the subaccounts in which you are invested, the systematic withdrawals must be taken proportionally from all subaccounts in which Contract Value is invested. If you do not have Contract Value allocated to a Restricted Fund and choose systematic withdrawals on a non-proportional basis, we will monitor the withdrawals annually. If you subsequently allocate Contract Value to one or more Restricted Funds, we will require you to take your systematic withdrawals proportionally from all subaccounts in which Contract Value is invested. There is no additional charge for this feature.
You decide the date on which you would like your systematic withdrawals to start. This date must be at least 30 days after the Contract Date and no later than the 28th day of the month. Subject to these rules, if you have not indicated the date, your systematic withdrawals will occur on the next business day after your Contract Date (or the monthly or quarterly anniversary thereof) for your desired frequency.






45


Each systematic withdrawal amount must be a minimum of $100. The amount of your systematic withdrawal can either be: (1) a fixed dollar amount; or (2) an amount based on a percentage of the premiums not previously withdrawn from the subaccounts in which you are invested. Both forms of systematic withdrawals are subject to the applicable maximum as shown below, which is calculated on each withdrawal date:
Frequency
Maximum Percentage of
Premiums not Previously Withdrawn
Monthly
0.83%
Quarterly
2.50%
Annually
10.00%
A fixed dollar systematic withdrawal of less than $100 on any withdrawal date will terminate your systematic withdrawal. Your fixed dollar systematic withdrawals will never exceed the maximum percentage. If you want fixed dollar systematic withdrawals to exceed the maximum percentage and are willing to incur associated surrender charges, consider the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature discussed below which you may add to your regular fixed dollar systematic withdrawal program.
If your systematic withdrawal is based on a percentage of the premiums not previously withdrawn from the subaccounts in which you are invested, and the amount to be withdrawn based on that percentage would be less than $100, we will contact you and seek alternative instructions. Unless you provide alternative instructions, if the systematic withdrawal would exceed the maximum percentage, we will send the amount, and then automatically cancel your systematic withdrawal option.
We limit systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations to interest earnings during the prior month, quarter, or year, depending on the frequency you chose. Systematic withdrawals are not subject to a Market Value Adjustment, unless you have added the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature discussed below and the payments exceed interest earnings. Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations under the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature are available only in connection with Section 72(q) and 72(t) distributions. A Fixed Interest Allocation may not participate in both the systematic withdrawal option and the dollar cost averaging program at the same time.
You may change the amount or percentage of your systematic withdrawal once each Contract Year or cancel this option at any time by sending satisfactory notice to Customer Service at least seven days before the next scheduled withdrawal date. If you submit a subsequent premium payment after you have applied for systematic withdrawals, we will not adjust future withdrawals under the systematic withdrawal program unless you specifically request that we do so. The systematic withdrawal option may commence in a Contract Year where a regular withdrawal has been taken but you may not change the amount or percentage of your withdrawals in any Contract Year during which you have previously taken a regular withdrawal.
Subject to availability, for nonqualified Contracts a spousal or non-spousal beneficiary may elect to receive death benefits as payments over the beneficiary’s lifetime (“stretch”). Stretch payments will be subject to the same limitations as systematic withdrawals, and nonqualified stretch payments will be reported on the same basis as other systematic withdrawals. Subject to availability, for qualified Contracts stretch payments are available only to individuals that are eligible designated beneficiaries under federal tax law.  See FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Required Distributions on Death (401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), IRAs and Roth IRAs).
Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature
You may add the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature to your regular fixed dollar systematic withdrawal program. This feature allows you to receive a systematic withdrawal in a fixed dollar amount in addition to your systematic withdrawal program regardless of any potential impact of surrender charges or Market Value Adjustments. Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations under the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature are available only in connection with Section 72(q) and 72(t) distributions. You choose the amount of the fixed systematic withdrawals, which may total up to an annual maximum of 10% of your premium payments not previously withdrawn as determined on the day we receive your election of this feature. We will not recalculate the maximum limit when you make additional premium payments, unless you instruct us to do so. We will assess a surrender charge on the withdrawal date if the withdrawal exceeds the maximum limit as calculated on the withdrawal date. We will assess a Market Value Adjustment on the withdrawal date if the withdrawal from a Fixed Interest Allocation exceeds your interest earnings on the withdrawal date. We will apply the surrender charge and any Market Value Adjustment directly to your Contract Value (rather than to the withdrawal) so that the amount of each systematic withdrawal remains fixed.
Fixed dollar systematic withdrawals which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 72(q) or 72(t) of the Tax Code may exceed the maximum described above. Such withdrawals are subject to surrender charges and Market Value Adjustments when they exceed the applicable maximum percentage.

46


IRA Withdrawals
If you have a non-Roth IRA Contract and will be at least age 72 (age 7012 if born before July 1, 1949) during the current calendar year, you may elect to have distributions made to you to satisfy minimum distribution requirements imposed by federal tax law. IRA withdrawals provide payout of amounts required to be distributed by the Tax Code rules governing mandatory distributions under IRAs. We will send you a notice before your distributions commence. You may elect to take IRA withdrawals at that time, or at a later date. You may not elect IRA withdrawals and participate in systematic withdrawals at the same time. If you do not elect to take IRA withdrawals, and distributions are required by federal tax law, distributions adequate to satisfy the requirements imposed by federal tax law may be made. Thus, if you are participating in systematic withdrawals, distributions under that option must be adequate to satisfy the mandatory distribution rules imposed by federal tax law, unless you are satisfying those mandatory distribution rules through withdrawals from other IRA accounts.
You choose the frequency of your IRA withdrawals (monthly, quarterly or annually) and the start date. This date must be at least 30 days after the Contract Date and no later than the 28th day of the month. Subject to these rules, if you have not indicated the date, your IRA withdrawals will occur on the next business day after your Contract Date for your desired frequency.
You may request us to calculate the amount you are required to withdraw from your Contract each year based on the information you give us and various choices you make. For information regarding the calculation and choices you have, see the SAI. Or, we will accept your written instructions regarding the calculated amount required to be withdrawn from your Contract each year. The minimum dollar amount you can withdraw is $100. When we determine the required IRA withdrawal amount for a taxable year based on the frequency you select, if that amount is less than $100, we will pay $100.
You may change the payment frequency of your IRA withdrawals once each Contract Year or cancel this option at any time by sending satisfactory notice to Customer Service at least seven days before the next scheduled withdrawal date.
An IRA withdrawal from a Fixed Interest Allocation in excess of the amount allowed under systematic withdrawals will be subject to a Market Value Adjustment and may be subject to surrender charge.
On March 27, 2020, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).  Among other provisions, the CARES Act suspends the minimum distribution requirements (RMDs) applicable to IRAs for the year 2020.  See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” for more details.

TRANSFERS AMONG YOUR INVESTMENTS (EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICY)
Between the end of the free look period and the Annuity Start Date, you may transfer your Contract Value among the subaccounts in which you are invested and your Fixed Interest Allocations. We currently do not charge you for transfers made during a Contract Year but reserve the right to charge for each transfer after the twelfth transfer in a Contract Year. We also reserve the right to limit the number of transfers you may make and may otherwise modify or terminate transfer privileges if required by our business judgment or in accordance with applicable law. We will apply a Market Value Adjustment to transfers from a Fixed Interest Allocation taken more than 30 days before its maturity date, unless the transfer is made under the dollar cost averaging program. Keep in mind that transfers between Covered Funds, Special Funds and Excluded Funds and other funds may negatively impact your death benefit or rider benefits.
If you allocate Contract Value to an investment option that has been designated as a Restricted Fund, your ability to transfer Contract Value to the Restricted Fund may be limited. A transfer to the Restricted Funds will not be permitted to the extent that it would increase the Contract Value in the Restricted Fund to more than the applicable limits following the transfer. We do not limit transfers from Restricted Funds. If the result of multiple reallocations is to lower the percentage of total Contract Value in the Restricted Fund, the reallocation will be permitted even if the percentage of Contract Value in the Restricted Fund is greater than the limit.
Please be aware that the benefit we pay under an optional benefit rider may be affected by certain transfers you make while the rider is in effect. Transfers, including those involving Special Funds or Excluded Funds, may also affect your optional rider base. See “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS.”
The minimum amount that you may transfer is $100 or, if less, your entire Contract Value held in a subaccount or a Fixed Interest Allocation. To make a transfer, you must notify Customer Service and all other administrative requirements must be met. We will determine transfer values at the end of the business day on which we receive the transfer request at Customer Service. If we receive your transfer request after 4 p.m. eastern time or the close of regular trading of the NYSE, we will make the transfer on the next business day.

47


Separate Account B and the Company will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone or other approved electronic means that we reasonably believe to be genuine. We may require personal identifying information to process a request for transfer made over the telephone, over the internet or other approved electronic means. Please be advised that the risk of a fraudulent transaction is increased with telephonic or electronic instructions, even if appropriate identifying information is provided.
Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers
The Contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt management of a fund and raise its expenses through:
Increased trading and transaction costs;
Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
Lost opportunity costs; and
Large asset swings that decrease the fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all Contract Owners.
This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should be aware that:
We suspend the Electronic Trading Privileges, as defined below, of any individual or organization if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or organization’s transfer activity is disruptive or not in the best interest of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products; and
Each underlying fund may limit or restrict fund purchases and we will implement any limitation or restriction on transfers to an underlying fund as directed by that underlying fund.
Consequently, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase or participate in the Contract.
Excessive Trading Policy. We provide multi-fund variable insurance and retirement products and have adopted an Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the demands of the various fund families that make their funds available through our products to restrict excessive fund trading activity and to ensure compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act.
We actively monitor fund transfer and reallocation activity within our variable insurance products to identify violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Our Excessive Trading Policy is violated if fund transfer and reallocation activity:
Meets or exceeds our current definition of Excessive Trading, as defined below; or
Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products.
We currently define Excessive Trading as:
More than one purchase and sale of the same fund (including money market funds) within a 60 calendar day period (hereinafter, a purchase and sale of the same fund is referred to as a “round-trip”). This means two or more round-trips involving the same fund within a 60 calendar day period would meet our definition of Excessive Trading; or
Six round-trips involving the same fund within a twelve month period.
The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive:
Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new premium payments, withdrawals and loans);
Transfers associated with any scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing or scheduled asset allocation programs;
Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000 or less;
Purchases and sales of funds that affirmatively permit short-term trading in their fund shares, and movement between such funds and a money market fund; and
Transactions initiated by us or a fund.













                     
48
   


If we determine that an individual or entity has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior round-trip involving the same fund, we will send them a letter warning that another sale of that same fund within 60 days of the beginning of the prior round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a six month suspension of their ability to initiate fund transfers or reallocations through the Internet, facsimile, Voice Response Unit (“VRU”), telephone calls to Customer Service, or other electronic trading medium that we may make available from time to time (“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if we determine that an individual or entity has made five round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period, we will send them a letter warning that another purchase and sale of that same fund within twelve months of the initial purchase in the first round-trip in the prior twelve month period will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a suspension of their Electronic Trading Privileges. According to the needs of the various business units, a copy of the warning letters may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or investment adviser for that individual or entity. A copy of the warning letters and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the trading activity.
If we determine that an individual or entity has violated our Excessive Trading Policy, we will send them a letter stating that their Electronic Trading Privileges have been suspended for a period of six months. Consequently, all fund transfers or reallocations, not just those which involve the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy, will then have to be initiated by providing written instructions to us via regular U.S. mail. Suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges may also extend to products other than the product through which the Excessive Trading activity occurred. During the six month suspension period, electronic “inquiry only” privileges will be permitted where and when possible. A copy of the letter restricting future transfer and reallocation activity to regular U.S. mail and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or investment adviser for that individual or entity and the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy.
Following the six month suspension period during which no additional violations of our Excessive Trading Policy are identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. We will continue to monitor the fund transfer and reallocation activity, and any future violations of our Excessive Trading Policy will result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. A violation of our Excessive Trading Policy during the six month suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges.
We reserve the right to suspend Electronic Trading Privileges with respect to any individual or entity, with or without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or entity’s trading activity is disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance products, regardless of whether the individual’s or entity’s trading activity falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above.
Our failure to send or an individual’s or entity’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated under our Excessive Trading Policy will not prevent us from suspending that individual’s or entity’s Electronic Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in our Excessive Trading Policy.
We do not allow exceptions to our Excessive Trading Policy. We reserve the right to modify our Excessive Trading Policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of Contract Owners and fund investors and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all Contract Owners or, as applicable, to all Contract Owners investing in the underlying fund.
Our Excessive Trading Policy may not be completely successful in preventing market timing or excessive trading activity. If it is not completely successful, fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted above.
Limits Imposed by the Funds. Each underlying fund available through the variable insurance and retirement products offered by us, either by prospectus or stated contract, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading policy, and orders for the purchase of fund shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to implement fund purchase restrictions and/or limitations on an individual or entity that the fund has identified as violating its excessive/frequent trading policy and to reject any allocation or transfer request to a subaccount if the corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason. All such restrictions and/or limitations (which may include, but are not limited to, suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges and/or blocking of future purchases of a fund or all funds within a fund family) will be done in accordance with the directions we receive from the fund.

Agreements to Share Information with Fund Companies. As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, we have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through the Contract. Contract owner trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund companies to monitor fund trading and our implementation of our Excessive Trading Policy. Under these agreements, the company is required to share information regarding Contract Owner transactions, including but not limited to information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about Contract Owner transactions, this information may include personal Contract Owner information, including names and social security numbers or other tax identification numbers.
As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a Contract Owner’s transactions if the fund determines that the Contract Owner has violated the fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of premium or Contract Value to the fund or all funds within the fund family.
Dollar Cost Averaging
You may elect to participate in our dollar cost averaging program through either the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio or a Fixed Interest Allocation, subject to availability, starting 30 days after the Contract Date. These investment options serve as the source accounts from which we will, on a monthly basis, automatically transfer a set dollar amount of money to the subaccounts you specify. There is no additional charge for dollar cost averaging. Dollar cost averaging is not available with automatic rebalancing an may be subject to limited availability with systematic withdrawals.
We also may offer dollar cost averaging Fixed Interest Allocations for durations of six months and one year, subject to availability, exclusively for use with the dollar cost averaging program.
The dollar cost averaging program is designed to lessen the impact of market fluctuation on your investment. Since we transfer the same dollar amount to other subaccounts each month, more units of a subaccount are purchased if the value of its unit is low and fewer units are purchased if the value of its unit is high. Therefore, a lower than average value per unit may be achieved over the long term. However, we cannot guarantee this. When you elect the dollar cost averaging program, you are continuously investing in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels. You should consider your tolerance for investing through periods of fluctuating price levels.
Dollar cost averaging requires a minimum monthly transfer amount of $100. We will transfer all your money allocated to that source account into the subaccount(s) you specify in equal payments over the relevant duration. The last payment will include earnings accrued over the duration. If you make an additional premium payment into a Fixed Interest Allocation subject to dollar cost averaging, the amount of your transfers under the dollar cost averaging program remains the same, unless you instruct us to increase the transfer amount.
If we receive a transfer request that violates the reallocation limitations under the Contract, we will inform your financial representative or you that we cannot process the transfer and that new instructions are required. Transfers under the dollar cost averaging program must be in compliance with the investment restrictions for the living benefit riders. If you set up dollar cost averaging transfers that are not in compliance with such restrictions, the fixed allocation funds automatic rebalancing feature of those living benefit riders will automatically rebalance the amounts to bring them into compliance.
Transfers under the dollar cost averaging program are not subject to a Market Value Adjustment. However, if you terminate the dollar cost averaging program for a dollar cost averaging Fixed Interest Allocation and there is money remaining in the dollar cost averaging Fixed Interest Allocation, we will transfer the remaining money to the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio. Such transfer will trigger a Market Value Adjustment if the transfer is made more than 30 days before the maturity date of the dollar cost averaging Fixed Interest Allocation.
If you do not specify to which subaccounts you want to transfer the dollar amount of the source account, we will transfer the money to the subaccounts in which you are invested proportionally, subject to any fund purchase restrictions. The transfer date is the same day each month as your Contract Date. If, on any transfer date, your Contract Value in a source account is equal or less than the amount you have elected to have transferred, the entire amount will be transferred and the program will end. You may terminate the dollar cost averaging program at any time by sending satisfactory notice to Customer Service at least seven days before the next transfer date.
Transfers under the dollar cost averaging program must be in compliance with the investment restrictions for the living benefit riders. If you set up dollar cost averaging transfers that are not in compliance with such restrictions, the fixed allocation funds automatic rebalancing feature of those living benefit riders will automatically rebalance the amounts to bring them into compliance.




50


You are permitted to transfer Contract Value to a Restricted Fund, subject to the limitations described above in this section and in “THE FUNDS – Restricted Funds.” Compliance with the individual and aggregate Restricted Fund limits will be reviewed when the dollar cost averaging program is established. Transfers under the dollar cost averaging program must be within those limits. We will not review again your dollar cost averaging election for compliance with the individual and aggregate limits for investment in the Restricted Funds except in the case of the transactions described below:
Amount added to source account: If you add amounts to the source account which would increase the amount to be transferred under the dollar cost averaging program, we will review the amounts to be transferred to ensure that the individual and aggregate limits are not being exceeded. If such limits would be exceeded, we will require that the dollar cost averaging transfer amounts be changed to ensure that the transfers are within the limits based on the then-current allocation of Contract Value to the Restricted Fund(s) and the then-current value of the amount designated to be transferred to that Restricted Fund(s);
Additional premium paid: Up to the individual Restricted Fund percentage limit may be allocated to a Restricted Fund. If you request more than the individual limit be allocated to a Restricted Fund, we will look at the aggregate limit, subtract the current allocation to Restricted Funds, and subtract the current value of amounts to be transferred under the dollar cost averaging program to Restricted Funds. The excess, if any, is the maximum that may be allocated proportionally to the Restricted Funds; and
Reallocation request is made while the dollar cost averaging program is active: If the reallocation would increase the amount allocated to Restricted Funds, the maximum that may be so allocated is the individual Restricted Fund percentage limit, less the current allocation to Restricted Funds and less the current value of any remaining amounts to be transferred under the dollar cost averaging program to the Restricted Funds.
We may offer additional subaccounts or Fixed Interest Allocations as part of or withdraw any subaccount or Fixed Interest Allocation from the dollar cost averaging program, stop offering dollar cost averaging Fixed Interest Allocations or otherwise modify, suspend or terminate this program. Such change will not affect any dollar cost averaging programs in operation at the time.
Automatic Rebalancing
If you have at least $10,000 of Contract Value invested in the subaccounts of Separate Account B, you may elect to have your investments in the subaccounts automatically rebalanced. Automatic rebalancing is not available if you participate in dollar cost averaging. Automatic rebalancing will not take place during the free look period. Automatic rebalancing is subject to any fund purchase restrictions; however, transfers made pursuant to automatic rebalancing do not count toward the 12-transfer limit on free transfers. There is no additional charge for this feature.
You are permitted to reallocate between Restricted and non-Restricted Funds, subject to the limitations described above, in this section and in “THE FUNDS – Restricted Funds.” If the reallocation would increase the amount allocated to the Restricted Funds, the maximum that may be so allocated is the individual Restricted Fund percentage limit, less the current allocation to all Restricted Funds.
We will transfer funds under your Contract on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual calendar basis among the subaccounts to maintain the investment blend of your selected subaccounts. The minimum size of any allocation must be in full percentage points. Rebalancing does not affect any amounts that you have allocated to Fixed Account II. The program may be used in conjunction with the systematic withdrawal option only if withdrawals are taken proportionally.
To participate in automatic rebalancing, send satisfactory notice to Customer Service. We will begin the program on the last business day of the period in which we receive the notice. You may cancel the program at any time. The program will automatically terminate if you choose to reallocate your Contract Value among the subaccounts or if you make an additional premium payment or partial withdrawal on other than a proportional basis. Additional premium payments and partial withdrawals made proportionally will not cause the automatic rebalancing program to terminate.
Upon advance notice we may modify, suspend or terminate the automatic rebalancing program at any time.

DEATH BENEFIT CHOICES
Death Benefit During the Accumulation Phase
During the accumulation phase, a death benefit is payable when either the Contract Owner or the first of joint owners or the Annuitant (when a Contract Owner is not an individual) dies before the Annuity Start Date. Assuming you are the Contract Owner, your beneficiary will receive a death benefit unless the beneficiary is your surviving spouse and elects to continue the Contract. We calculate the death benefit value as of the close of the business day on which we receive written notice and due proof of death, as well as any required paperwork, at Customer Service (“Claim Date”). If there is a beneficiary who is not the spouse of the Contract Owner, the value of the death benefit may be allocated to the Fixed Interest Division and earn a fixed rate of interest from the claim date until the date of payment. If the spouse is the sole beneficiary of the Contract Owner, the value of the death benefit will remain allocated to the investment options in which Contract Value is allocated on the claim date and may be subject to market performance, positive or negative, from the claim date until the date of payment. If your beneficiary wants to receive the death benefit on a date later than this, it may affect the amount of the benefit payable in the future. Subject to the rules in Tax Code section 72(s) or 401(a)(9), as applicable, the proceeds may be received in a single sum, applied to any of the annuity options, or, if available, paid over the beneficiary’s lifetime. See “SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS” above. A beneficiary’s right to elect an annuity option or receive a lump-sum payment may have been restricted by the Contract Owner. If so, such rights or options will not be available to the beneficiary.
If we do not receive a request to apply the death benefit proceeds to an annuity option, we will make a single sum distribution. We will generally pay death benefit proceeds within seven days after Customer Service has received sufficient information to make the payment. For information on required distributions under federal income tax laws, you should see FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Required Distributions on Death (401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), IRAs and Roth IRAs). Beneficiaries should carefully review all settlement and payment options available under the Contract and are encouraged to consult with a financial professional or tax and/or legal adviser before choosing a settlement or payment option.
You may choose one of the following Death Benefits: (1) the Standard Death Benefit; (2) the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit; or (3) the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit. The Standard Death Benefit is available SO LONG AS both the Annuitant and the Contract Owner are age 80 or younger at the time of application. Availability of an Enhanced Death Benefit option plus a living benefit rider is subject to the following limitations:
Maximum Issue Age
Option
Additional Requirement
79
Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit
LifePay Plus rider or Joint LifePay Plus rider is also purchased.
75
Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit
All living benefit riders are available.
69
Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit
No living benefit rider is available.
The maximum issue age applies to both the Annuitant and Contract Owner at the time of application. The Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit is not available for purchase with any living benefit rider. Also, the maximum issue age for a Contract with the Standard Death Benefit is limited to age 75 to purchase the MGIB rider.
Before May 1, 2009, the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit was available SO LONG AS both the Contract Owner and the Annuitant (if the Contract Owner is not an individual) were age 79 or younger at the time of application AND you purchased the LifePay Plus rider or Joint LifePay Plus rider (or the version of the lifetime guaranteed withdrawal benefit rider available to you). Otherwise, the maximum issue age was 75 for a Contract with either the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit or the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit. Before January 12, 2009, the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit was available in place of the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit. Before April 28, 2008, the maximum issue age was 79 for a Contract with either the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit or Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit. The Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit or Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit were available only at the time you purchased your Contract. Neither the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit nor the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit is available when a Contract is owned by joint owners, or joint Annuitants if the Contract Owners are not individuals. Not all death benefits are available in every state. If you do not choose a death benefit, your death benefit will be the Standard Death Benefit.
Once you choose a death benefit, you cannot change it. We may stop or suspend offering any of the Enhanced Death Benefit options to new Contracts. A change in ownership of the Contract may affect the amount of the death benefit and the Enhanced Death Benefit. The LifePay Plus and Joint LifePay Plus riders may also affect the death benefit.



52


The death benefit may be subject to certain mandatory distribution rules required by federal tax law.
In all cases described below, the amount of the death benefit could be reduced by premium taxes owed and withdrawals not previously deducted.
Base Death Benefit. We use the Base Death Benefit to help determine the minimum death benefit payable under each of the death benefit options described below. You do not elect the Base Death Benefit. The Base Death Benefit is equal to the greater of:
The Contract Value; and
The Cash Surrender Value.
Any Premium Credits applied since or within 12 months prior to death will be deducted from the Base Death Benefit.
Standard Death Benefit. The Standard Death Benefit equals the greater of:
The Base Death Benefit; and
The Standard Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit (“Standard MGDB”) for amounts allocated to Covered Funds plus the Contract Value allocated to Excluded Funds less any Premium Credits added since or within 12 months prior to death.
Covered Funds are all investment options not designated as Excluded Funds. No investment options are currently designated as Excluded Funds for purposes of the Standard Death Benefit.
The Standard MGDB allocated to Covered Funds equals premium payment plus Premium Credits, if applicable, allocated to Covered Funds less proportional adjustments for any withdrawals and transfers.
The Standard MGDB allocated to Excluded Funds equals premium payments plus Premium Credits, if applicable, allocated to Excluded Funds less proportional adjustments for any withdrawals and transfers. This calculation is not used for benefit purposes, but only to determine the impact of transfers to and from Excluded Funds.
Withdrawals reduce the Standard MGDB proportionally. The percentage reduction in the Standard MGDB for each Fund category (i.e., Covered or Excluded) equals the percentage reduction in Contract Value in that Fund category resulting from the withdrawal. The proportional adjustment is based on the change in Contract Value resulting from the withdrawal, not the amount requested.
Transfers among Fund categories do not reduce the overall Standard MGDB.
Net transfers from Covered Funds to Excluded Funds will reduce the Standard MGDB in the Covered Funds proportionally. The increase in the Standard MGDB allocated to Excluded Funds will equal the decrease in the Standard MGDB in Covered Funds.
Net transfers from Excluded Funds to Covered Funds will reduce the Standard MGDB in Excluded Funds proportionally. The increase in the Standard MGDB allocated to Covered Funds will equal the lesser of the net Contract Value transferred and the decrease in the Standard MGDB in Excluded Funds.
Enhanced Death Benefit Options. The Contract has Enhanced Death Benefit options designed to protect the Contract Value from poor investment performance and the impact that poor investment performance could have on the Standard Death Benefit. The Enhanced Death Benefit options enable you to lock in positive investment performance. Under the Enhanced Death Benefit options, if you die before the Annuity Start Date, your beneficiary will receive the greater of the Standard Death Benefit or the Enhanced Death Benefit option elected. The criteria to lock are different. The Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit locks annually. The Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit not only locks annually, but also has an additional element that locks annually at a specified interest rate, so your death benefit under the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit would be the greater of these two elements. Which Enhanced Death Benefit option is right for you ultimately depends on whether you want the lock to include a specified interest rate, besides the additional charge. The Enhanced Death Benefit options are explained further below.
Before January 12, 2009, the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit was available in place of the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit; the frequency of the ratchet component was quarterly for both Enhanced Death Benefit options: (1) the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit; and (2) Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit.
Allocation restrictions apply for purposes of determining death benefits. Selecting a Special Fund or Excluded Fund may limit or reduce the Enhanced Death Benefit. We may, with 30 days’ notice to you, designate any fund as a Special Fund or Excluded Fund on existing Contracts with respect to new premiums and Premium Credits added to such fund and also with respect to new transfers to such fund.
For the period during which a portion of the Contract Value is allocated to a Special Fund or Excluded Fund, we may, at our discretion, reduce the mortality and expense risk charge attributable to that portion of the Contract Value. The reduced mortality and expense risk charge will be applicable only during that period.




53


The Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit equals the greater of:
The Standard Death Benefit; and
The Annual Ratchet Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit (“Annual Ratchet MGDB”) allocated to Covered Funds plus the Contract Value allocated to Excluded Funds less any Premium Credits applied since or within 12 months prior to death.
Covered Funds are all investment options not designated as Excluded Funds. No investment options are currently designated as Excluded Funds for purposes of the Annual Ratchet MGDB.
The Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit was the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit before January 12, 2009, so the Annual Ratchet MGDB was the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB.
The Annual Ratchet MGDB allocated to Covered Funds on the Contract Date equals the premium and Premium Credits allocated to Covered Funds. On each Contract anniversary that occurs on or prior to attainment of age 90, the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in Covered Funds will be set to the greater of:
The current Contract Value in Covered Funds (after deductions occurring as of that date); and
The Annual Ratchet MGDB in Covered Funds from the prior Contract anniversary (after deductions occurring on that date), adjusted for new premiums and Premium Credits, if applicable, partial withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds, and transfers.
Other than on Contract anniversaries, the Annual Ratchet MGDB in the Covered Funds is equal to the Annual Ratchet MGDB in the Covered Funds from the last Contract anniversary, adjusted for new premiums and Premium Credits, if applicable, partial withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds, and transfers.
Before January 12, 2009, the Annual Ratchet MGDB allocated to Covered Funds was the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB allocated to Covered Funds. On the Contract Date, the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in Covered Funds equals the premium allocated to Covered Funds. On each quarterly anniversary (three months from the Contract Date and each three month anniversary of that date) that occurs on or prior to attainment of age 90, the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in Covered Funds will be set to the greater of:
The current Contract Value in Covered Funds (after deductions occurring as of that date); and
The Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in Covered Funds from the prior quarterly anniversary (after deductions occurring on that date), adjusted for new premiums, partial withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds, and transfers.
Other than on quarterly anniversaries, the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in the Covered Funds is equal to the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in the Covered Funds from the last quarterly anniversary, adjusted for new premiums, partial withdrawals attributable to Covered Funds, and transfers.
The Annual Ratchet MGDB allocated to Excluded Funds on the Contract Date equals the premium plus Premium Credits, if applicable, allocated to Excluded Funds. The calculation is not used for benefit purposes, but only to determine the impact of transfers to and from Excluded Funds. On each Contract anniversary that occurs on or prior to attainment of age 90, the Annual Ratchet MGDB in Excluded Funds will be set to the greater of:
The current Contract Value in Excluded Funds (after deductions occurring as of that date); and
The Annual Ratchet MGDB in the Excluded Funds from the prior Contract anniversary (after deductions occurring on that date), adjusted for new premiums and Premium Credits, if applicable, partial withdrawals attributable to Excluded Funds, and transfers.
Other than on Contract anniversaries, the Annual Ratchet MGDB in the Excluded Funds is equal to the Annual Ratchet MGDB in the Excluded Funds from the last Contract anniversary, adjusted for new premiums and Premium Credits, if applicable, partial withdrawals attributable to Excluded Funds, and transfers.
Before January 12, 2009, the Annual Ratchet MGDB allocated to Excluded Funds was the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB allocated to Excluded Funds. The calculation is not used for benefit purposes, but only to determine the impact of transfers to and from Excluded Funds. On each quarterly anniversary that occurs on or prior to attainment of age 90, the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in Excluded Funds will be set to the greater of:
The current Contract Value in Excluded Funds (after deductions occurring as of that date); and
The Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in the Excluded Funds from the prior quarterly anniversary (after deductions occurring on that date), adjusted for new premiums, partial withdrawals attributable to Excluded Funds, and transfers.
Other than on quarterly anniversaries, the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in the Excluded Funds is equal to the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB in the Excluded Funds from the last quarterly anniversary, adjusted for new premiums, partial withdrawals attributable to Excluded Funds, and transfers.
Withdrawals reduce the Annual Ratchet MGDB proportionally. The proportional adjustment is based on the change in Contract Value resulting from the withdrawal, not the amount requested.


54


Net transfers from Covered Funds to Excluded Funds will reduce the Annual Ratchet MGDB in Covered Funds proportionally. The increase in the Annual Ratchet MGDB allocated to Excluded Funds, as applicable, will equal the decrease in the Annual Ratchet MGDB in Covered Funds.
Net transfers from Excluded Funds to Covered Funds will reduce the Annual Ratchet MGDB in Excluded Funds proportionally. The increase in the Annual Ratchet MGDB allocated to Covered Funds will equal the lesser of the net Contract Value transferred and the reduction in the Annual Ratchet MGDB in Excluded Funds.
Before January 12, 2009, the Annual Ratchet MGDB was the Quarterly Ratchet MGDB. Withdrawals and net transfers to and from Covered Funds and Excluded Funds would have the same outcome.
The Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit equals the greater of the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit and the 7% Solution Death Benefit Element. Each element of the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit is determined independently of the other at all times.
Before January 12, 2009, the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit was the Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit.
The 7% Solution Death Benefit Element is the greater of:
 
The Standard Death Benefit; and
 
The lesser of:
 
2.5 times all premium payments plus Premium Credits, if applicable, adjusted for withdrawals (the “cap”); and
 
The sum of the 7% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit Element (“7% MGDB”) allocated to Covered Funds, the 7% MGDB allocated to Special Funds, and the Contract Value allocated to Excluded Funds.
Any Premium Credits added since or within 12 months prior to death will be deducted from the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit.
For purposes of calculating the 7% Solution Death Benefit Element, the following investment options are designated as Special Funds:
The Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio; and
The Fixed Interest Allocation.
The ProFunds VP Rising Rates Opportunity Portfolio is also a Special Fund but closed to new allocations effective April 30, 2007.
As of July 11, 2014, the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio was designated as a Covered Fund for all current and future investments.
Covered Funds are all investment options not designated as Special Funds or Excluded Funds. No investment options are currently designated as Excluded Funds.
The 7% MGDB allocated to Covered Funds equals premiums plus Premium Credits, if applicable, allocated to Covered Funds, adjusted for withdrawals and transfers, accumulated at 7% annually until age 80 or the 7% MGDB reaches the cap. There is no accumulation once the cap is reached. Payment of additional premiums may cause the accumulation to resume, but there is no catch-up for any period where accumulation was suspended. The Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit available for some Contracts issued in 2001 or earlier allows for accumulation to continue beyond age 80, subject to the cap. Please see your Contract for details regarding the terms of your death benefit.
The 7% MGDB allocated to Special Funds equals premiums plus Premium Credits, if applicable, allocated to Special Funds, adjusted for withdrawals and transfers. There is no accumulation of 7% MGDB allocated to Special Funds.
The 7% MGDB allocated to Excluded Funds is determined in the same way as the 7% MGDB for Covered Funds, but the calculation is not used for benefit purposes, but only to determine the impact of transfers to and from Excluded Funds.
Withdrawals reduce the 7% MGDB proportionally. The percentage reduction in the 7% MGDB for each Fund category (i.e., Covered, Special or Excluded) equals the percentage reduction in Contract Value in that Fund category resulting from the withdrawal. The percentage reduction in the cap equals the percentage reduction in total Contract Value resulting from the withdrawal. The proportional adjustment is based on the change in Contract Value resulting from the withdrawal, not the amount requested.
Transfers among Fund categories do not reduce the overall 7% MGDB but do affect the amount of the 7% MGDB in a particular Fund category. Net transfers from among the Funds will reduce the 7% MGDB in the Funds proportionally. The increase in the 7% MGDB allocated to fund category to which the transfer is being made will equal the decrease in the fund category from which the transfer is being made.
In all cases described above, the amount of the death benefit could be reduced by premium taxes owed and withdrawals not previously deducted. The enhanced death benefit may not be available in all states.



55


Death Benefit During the Income Phase
Subject to the rules in Tax Code section 72(s) or 401(a)(9), as applicable, if any Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies after the Annuity Start Date, we will pay the beneficiary any certain benefit proceeds remaining under the Contract.
Continuation After Death – Spouse
If at the Contract Owner’s death, the surviving spouse of the deceased Contract Owner is the beneficiary and such surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract as his or her own, if allowed under the requirements under the Tax Code, the following will apply:
If the guaranteed death benefit as of the date we receive due proof of death, minus the Contract Value on that date is greater than zero, we will add such difference to the Contract Value. We will allocate such addition to the variable subaccounts in proportion to the Contract Value in the subaccounts, unless you direct otherwise. If there is no Contract Value in any subaccount, we will allocate the addition to the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio, or its successor. Such addition to Contract Value will not affect the guaranteed death benefit or any living benefit rider values. Any addition to Contract Value is available only to the spouse of the owner as of the date of death of the owner if such spouse under the provisions of the Contract elects to continue the Contract as his or her own;
The death benefits under each of the available options will continue, based on the surviving spouse’s age on the date that ownership changes;
At subsequent surrender, we will waive any surrender charge applicable to premiums paid prior to the date we receive due proof of death of the Contract Owner. Any premiums paid later will be subject to any applicable surrender charge;
If you elected the Annual Ratchet Death Benefit (Quarterly Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit before January 12, 2009) or the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit and the new or surviving owner is attained age 89 or less, ratchets will continue, (or resume if deceased owner had already reached age 90) until the new or surviving owner reaches age 90. If you elected the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit the new or surviving owner is attained age 79 or less, the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit continues or resumes accumulation until either the cap or the attained age of 80 is reached; and
Upon spousal continuation, any Premium Credits received prior to death will not be deducted, and the Premium Credit rider charge will continue for the remainder of the seven year period, or four year period if the Optional Surrender Charge Schedule Rider has been elected. For death of an owner within the first Contract Year, any subsequent surrender or withdrawals and subsequent premium payments made during the first Contract Year will be subject to the Premium Credit deduction schedule. For death of an owner after the first Contract Year, any subsequent surrender or withdrawals are not subject to the Premium Credit deduction schedule. See “THE ANNUITY CONTRACT – Additional Credit to Premium” section.
Continuation After Death – Not a Spouse
If the beneficiary or surviving joint owner is not the spouse of the owner, the Contract may defer payment of the death benefit subject to Tax Code section 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable. See next section, “Required Distributions Upon Contract Owner’s Death.”
If the guaranteed death benefit as of the date we receive due proof of death, minus the Contract Value also on that date, is greater than zero, we will add such difference to the Contract Value. Such addition will be allocated to the variable subaccounts in proportion to the Contract Value in the subaccounts, unless we are directed otherwise. If there is no Contract Value in any subaccount, the addition will be allocated to the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio, or its successor.
The death benefit will then terminate. At subsequent surrender, any surrender charge applicable to premiums paid prior to the date we receive due proof of death of the Contract Owner will be waived. No additional premium payments may be made.
Upon such deferral, the Premium Credit rider charge will continue for the remainder of the seven year period, or four year period if the Optional Surrender Charge Schedule rider has been elected. Any subsequent surrender or withdrawals are not subject to the Premium Credit deduction schedule. See “THE ANNUITY CONTRACT - Additional Credit to Premium” section.
Required Distributions Upon Contract Owner’s Death
Nonqualified Contracts. We will not allow any payment of benefits provided under a nonqualified Contract which does not satisfy the requirements of Section 72(s) of the Tax Code.
If any Contract Owner of a nonqualified Contract dies before the Annuity Start Date, we will distribute the death benefit payable to the beneficiary as follows: (1) the death benefit must be completely distributed within five years of the Contract Owner’s date of death; or (2) the beneficiary may elect, within the one-year period after the Contract Owner’s date of death, to receive the death benefit in the form of an annuity from us, provided that: (a) such annuity is distributed in substantially equal installments over the life of such beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such beneficiary; and (b) such distributions begin no later than one year after the Contract Owner’s date of death.

Notwithstanding (1) and (2) above, if the sole Contract Owner’s beneficiary is the deceased owner’s surviving spouse, then such spouse may elect to continue the Contract under the same terms as before the Contract Owner’s death. Upon receipt of such election from the spouse at Customer Service: (a) all rights of the spouse as Contract Owner’s beneficiary under the Contract in effect prior to such election will cease; (b) the spouse will become the owner of the Contract and will also be treated as the contingent Annuitant, if none has been named and only if the deceased owner was the Annuitant; and (c) all rights and privileges granted by the Contract or allowed by us will belong to the spouse as Contract Owner of the Contract. We deem the spouse to have made this election if such spouse makes a premium payment to the Contract or fails to make a timely election as described in this paragraph.
If the owner’s beneficiary is not a spouse, the distribution provisions described in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, will apply even if the Annuitant and/or contingent Annuitant are alive at the time of the Contract Owner’s death.
Subject to availability, and our then current rules, a spousal or non-spousal beneficiary may elect to receive death benefits as payments over the life expectancy of the beneficiary (“stretch”). “Stretch” payments will be subject to the same limitations as systematic withdrawals, and nonqualified “stretch” payments will be reported on the same basis as other systematic withdrawals.
If we do not receive an election from an owner’s beneficiary who is not a spouse within the one-year period after the Contract Owner’s date of death, then we will pay the death benefit to the owner’s beneficiary in a cash payment within five years from the date of death. We will determine the death benefit as of the date we receive proof of death. Such cash payment will be in full settlement of all our liability under the Contract.
If a Contract Owner dies after the Annuity Start Date, all of the Contract Owner’s rights granted under the Contract, if any, or allowed by us will pass to the Contract Owner’s beneficiary and must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used at the date of the Contract Owner’s death.
If a Contract has joint owners, we will consider the date of death of the first joint owner as the death of the Contract Owner, and the surviving joint owner will become the beneficiary of the Contract. If any Contract Owner is not an individual, the death of an Annuitant shall be treated as the death of a Contract Owner.
Qualified Contracts.  We will not allow any payment of benefits provided under a qualified Contract which does not satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Tax Code. While the required distributions upon death rules for qualified Contracts are similar to those for nonqualified Contracts, there are significant differences.  See FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Required Distributions on Death (401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), IRAs and Roth IRAs).

THE ANNUITY OPTIONS
Annuitization of Your Contract
If the Annuitant and Contract Owner are living on the Annuity Start Date, we will begin making payments to the Contract Owner under an income plan. Four fixed payment annuity options are currently available. We will make these payments under the annuity option you choose. You may change an annuity option by making a written request to us at least 30 days before the Annuity Start Date. Living benefit riders automatically terminate when the income phase of your Contract begins. The MGIB annuity benefit may be available if you have purchased the MGIB rider, provided the waiting period and other specified conditions have been met. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal may be available with the LifePay Plus or Joint LifePay Plus riders. Except as provided under certain riders, there is no death benefit after the Annuity Start Date.
Your choice of an annuity option may be limited, depending on your use of the Contract.  Certain annuity options and/or certain period certain durations may not be available, depending on the age of the Annuitant and whether your Contract is a qualified Contract that is subject to Tax Code Section 401(a)(9).  In addition, for qualified Contracts once annuity payments start under an annuity option, it may be necessary to modify those payments following the Annuitant’s death in order to comply with new requirements under the Required Minimum Distribution rules. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Required Distributions upon Death (401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), IRAs and Roth IRAs).”
You may also elect an annuity option on surrender of the Contract for its Cash Surrender Value or you may choose one or more annuity options for the payment of death benefit proceeds while it is in effect and before the Annuity Start Date. If, at the time of the Contract Owner’s death or the Annuitant’s death (if the Contract Owner is not an individual), no option has been chosen for paying death benefit proceeds, the beneficiary may choose an annuity option. In such a case, the payments will be based on the life expectancy of the beneficiary rather than the life of the Annuitant. In all events, payments of death benefit proceeds must comply with the distribution requirements of applicable federal tax law.


57


The minimum monthly annuity income payment that we will make is $20. We may require that a single sum payment be made if the Contract Value is less than $2,000 or if the calculated monthly annuity income payment is less than $20.
For each annuity option, we will issue a separate written agreement putting the annuity option into effect. Before we pay any annuity benefits, we require the return of your Contract. If your Contract has been lost, we will require that you complete and return the applicable lost Contract form. Various factors will affect the level of annuity benefits, such as the annuity option chosen, the applicable payment rate used and the investment performance of the portfolios and interest credited to the Fixed Interest Allocations.
Our current annuity options provide only for fixed payments. Fixed annuity payments are regular payments, the amount of which is fixed and guaranteed by us. Payment under our current annuity options will last either for a specified period of time or for the life of the Annuitant, or both – depending on the option. We will determine the amount of the annuity payments on the Annuity Start Date by multiplying the Contract Value (adjusted for any Market Value Adjustment and any rider charges that would be due) by the applicable payment factor provided under the Contract and dividing it by 1,000. The applicable payment factor will depend on: (1) the annuity option; payment date; and the frequency of payments you choose; and (2) the age of the Annuitant or beneficiary (and gender, where appropriate under applicable law). Surrender charges might apply depending on the annuity options. As a general rule, more frequent income payments will result in smaller individual income phase payments. Likewise, income phase payments that are anticipated over a longer period of time will also result in smaller individual income phase payments. Because our current annuity options provide only for fixed payments, subsequent payments will not differ from the amount of your first annuity payment.
Our approval is needed for any option where:
The person named to receive payment is other than the Contract Owner or beneficiary;
The person named is not a natural person, such as a corporation; or
Any income payment would be less than the minimum annuity income payment allowed.
Selecting the Annuity Start Date
You select the Annuity Start Date, which is the date on which the annuity payments commence. Unless we consent, the Annuity Start Date must be at least five years from the Contract Date but before the month immediately following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday. Subject to the required minimum distribution rules under the Tax Code, if on the Annuity Start Date, a surrender charge remains, the elected annuity option must be option 1 or option 2 with a period certain of at least ten years.
If you do not select an Annuity Start Date, it will automatically begin in the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday.
If the Annuity Start Date occurs when the Annuitant is at an advanced age, such as over age 85, it is possible that the Contract will not be considered an annuity for federal tax purposes. For more information, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” and the SAI. For a Contract purchased in connection with a qualified plan, other than a Roth IRA, distributions must commence not later than April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you reach age 70½ or, in some cases, retire. Distributions may be made through annuitization or withdrawals. You should consult a tax adviser for tax advice when selecting and Annuity Start Date.
Frequency of Annuity Payments
You choose the frequency of the annuity payments. They may be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. If we do not receive written notice from you, we will make the payments monthly. There may be certain restrictions on minimum payments that we will allow.
Beneficiary Rights
A beneficiary’s right to elect an annuity option or receive a lump sum may have been restricted by the Contract Owner. If so, such options will not be available to the beneficiary. In addition, the beneficiary’s rights may be restricted by the distribution requirements of the applicable federal tax laws.
The Annuity Options
The Contract has five annuity options. Payments under Options 1, 2, 3 and 4 are fixed. Payments under Option 5 may be fixed or variable, although only fixed payments are currently available. For a fixed annuity option, the Contract Value in the subaccounts is transferred to the Company’s general account. If you do not choose an annuity option, Option 2 – Income for Life with a 10-year period certain will be selected for you, or a shorter period if required by government regulations. The MGIB annuity options available under the MGIB rider are different from the four options listed below. For additional information, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit Rider – MGIB Annuity Options.”


                     
58
   


Option 1. Income for Life. Under this option, we make payments for the life of the Annuitant in equal monthly installments. There is no minimum number of payments. Monthly payment amounts are available upon request.
Option 2. Income for a Fixed Period. Under this option, we make monthly payments in equal installments for a fixed number of years based on the Contract Value on the Annuity Start Date. The fixed period must be between 10 and 30 years unless you have the Premium Credit rider in which case the fixed period must be between 15 and 30 years. We guarantee that each monthly payment will be at least the amount stated in your Contract. If you prefer, you may request that payments be made in annual, semi-annual or quarterly installments. We will provide you with illustrations if you ask for them. If the Cash Surrender Value or Contract Value is applied under this option, a 10% penalty tax may apply to the taxable portion of each income payment until the Contract Owner reaches age 59½.
Option 3. Income for Life with a Period Certain. Under this option, we make payments for the life of the Annuitant in equal monthly installments and guarantee the income for at least a period certain, such as 10 or 20 years. Other periods certain may be available to you on request. The fixed period must be between 10 and 30 years unless you have the Premium Credit rider in which case the fixed period must be between 15 and 30 years. You may choose a refund period instead. Under this arrangement, income is guaranteed until payments equal the amount of your Contract. If the person named lives beyond the guaranteed period, we will continue payments until his or her death. We guarantee that each payment will be at least the amount specified in the Contract corresponding to the person’s age on his or her last birthday before the Annuity Start Date. Amounts for ages not shown in the Contract are available if you ask for them.
Option 4. Joint Life Income. This option is available when there are two persons named to determine annuity payments. At least one of the persons named must be either the Contract Owner or beneficiary of the Contract. We guarantee monthly payments will be made as long as at least one of the named persons is living. There is no minimum number of payments. Monthly payment amounts are available upon request.
Option 5. Annuity Plan. Under this option, your Contract Value can be applied to any other annuitization plan that we choose to offer on the Annuity Start Date. Annuity payments under Option 5 may be fixed or variable, although only fixed payments are currently available. If variable and subject to the 1940 Act, it will comply with the requirements of such Act.
Payment When Named Person Dies
When the person named to receive payment dies, we will pay any amounts still due as provided in the annuity agreement between you and the Company, subject to any minimum distribution requirements imposed by federal tax law. The amounts we will pay are determined as follows:
For Option 1, no amounts are payable after the named person has died;
For Options 2 and 3, we will continue the remaining guaranteed payments. Under Options 2 and 3, the discounted values of the remaining guaranteed payments may be paid in a single sum. This means we deduct the amount of the interest each remaining guaranteed payment would have earned had it not been paid out early. We will base the discount interest rate on the interest rate used to calculate the payments for Options 2 and 3;
For Option 4, no amounts are payable after both named persons have died; and
For Option 5, the annuity option agreement will state the amount we will pay, if any.


OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS
Reports to Contract Owners
We confirm purchase, transfer and withdrawal transactions usually within five business days of processing. We may also send you a quarterly report within 31 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The report will show the Contract Value, Cash Surrender Value, and the death benefit as of the end of the calendar quarter. The report will also show the allocation of your Contract Value and reflects the amounts deducted from or added to the Contract Value. You have 30 days to notify Customer Service of any errors or discrepancies. We will notify you when any shareholder reports of the funds in which Separate Account B invests are available. We will also send any other reports, notices or documents we are required by law to furnish to you.
Suspension of Payments
The Company reserves the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of benefits or processing these transactions beyond the seven permitted days, under any of the following circumstances: (1) on any business day when the NYSE is closed (except customary weekend and holiday closings); (2) when an emergency exists as determined by the SEC; (3) during any other periods the SEC may, by order, permit for the protection of investors.

59


The conditions under which restricted trading or an emergency exists shall be determined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Payment of benefits or values may also be delayed or suspended as required by court order or any regulatory action.
In Case of Errors in Your Application
If an age or gender given in the application or enrollment form is misstated, the amounts payable or benefits provided by the Contract shall be those that the premium payment would have bought had the age or gender not been misstated.
Assigning the Contract as Collateral
You may assign a nonqualified Contract as collateral security for a loan but you should understand that your rights and any beneficiary’s rights may be subject to the terms of the assignment. An assignment likely has federal tax consequences. You should consult a tax adviser for tax advice. You must give us satisfactory written notice to Customer Service in order to make or release an assignment. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment.
Contract Changes – Applicable Tax Law
We have the right to make changes in the Contract to continue to qualify the Contract as an annuity under applicable federal tax law and to conform to applicable laws or governmental regulations. We will give you advance notice of such changes.
Free Look
You may cancel your Contract within your ten-day free look period. We deem the free look period to expire 15 days after we mail the Contract to you. Some states may require a longer free look period. To cancel, you need to send your Contract to Customer Service or to the agent from whom you purchased it. We will refund the greater of the Contract Value (which may be more or less than the premium payments you paid) or, if required by your state, the original amount of your premium payment.
In no event does the Company retain any investment gain associated with a Contract that is free looked. For purposes of the refund during the free look period: (1) we adjust your Contract Value for any Market Value Adjustment (if you have invested in the Fixed Account); (2) deduct any Premium Credits provided under the Premium Credit rider; and (3) then we include a refund of any charges deducted from your Contract Value. Because of the market risks associated with investing in the funds and the potential positive or negative effect of the Market Value Adjustment, the Contract Value returned may be greater or less than the premium payment you paid. Some states require us to return to you the amount of the paid premium (rather than the Contract Value) in which case you will not be subject to investment risk during the free look period. In these states, your premiums designated for investment in the subaccounts will be allocated during the free look period to a subaccount specially designated by the Company for this purpose (currently, the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio). We may, in our discretion, require that premiums designated for investment in the subaccounts from all other states as well as premiums designated for a Fixed Interest Allocation be allocated to the specially designated subaccount during the free look period. Your free look rights depend on the laws of the state in which you purchase the Contract. Your Contract is void as of the day we receive your Contract and cancellation request in good order. We determine your Contract Value at the close of business on the day we void your Contract. If you keep your Contract after the free look period and the investment is allocated to a subaccount specially designated by the Company, we will put your money in the subaccount(s) chosen by you, based on the Accumulation Unit value next computed for each subaccount, and/or in the Fixed Interest Allocation chosen by you.
Special Arrangements
We may reduce or waive any Contract, rider, or benefit fees or charges for certain group or sponsored arrangements, under special programs, and for certain employees, agents, and related persons of our parent corporation and its affiliates. We reduce or waive these items based on expected economies, and the variations are based on differences in costs or services.
Selling the Contract
Our affiliate, Directed Services LLC, 1475 Dunwoody Drive, Suite 200, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380 is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Contract as well as for our other variable contracts. Directed Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered with the SEC as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).



60


Directed Services LLC does not retain any commissions or compensation paid to it by VIAC for Contract sales. Directed Services LLC entered into selling agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers to sell the Contracts through their registered representatives who are licensed to sell securities and variable insurance products (“selling firms”). Selling firms are also registered with the SEC and are FINRA member firms.
Although the Contracts are no longer offered for new sales, Directed Services LLC pays selling firms compensation for the past promotion and sale of the Contracts. Registered representatives of the selling firms who solicited sales of the Contracts typically receive a portion of the compensation paid by Directed Services LLC to the selling firm in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending on the agreement between the selling firm and the registered representative. This compensation, as well as other incentives or payments, is not paid directly by Contract Owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup this compensation and other sales expenses paid to selling firms through fees and charges imposed under the Contracts.
Directed Services LLC pays selling firms for past Contract sales according to one or more schedules. This compensation is generally based on a percentage of premium payments. Selling firms may receive commissions of up to 7.20% of premium payments. In addition, selling firms may receive ongoing annual compensation of up to 1.25% of all, or a portion, of values of Contracts sold through the firm. Individual representatives may receive all or a portion of compensation paid to their selling firm, depending on the firm’s practices. Commissions and annual compensation, when combined, could exceed 7.20% of total premium payments.
Directed Services LLC has special compensation arrangements with certain selling firms based on those firms’ aggregate sales of the Contracts or other criteria. These special compensation arrangements were not offered to all selling firms, and the terms of such arrangements may differ among selling firms based on various factors. Any such compensation payable to a selling firm will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.
In addition to the direct cash compensation for sales of Contracts described above, Directed Services LLC may also pay selling firms additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their past efforts in selling the Contracts to you and other customers. These amounts may include:
Marketing/distribution allowances which may be based on the percentages of premium received, the aggregate commissions paid and/or the aggregate assets held in relation to certain types of designated insurance products issued by the Company and/or its affiliates during the year;
Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to agents/registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms such as reduction or elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan, which terms may be conditioned on fixed insurance product sales; and
Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law.
We may pay commissions, dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, overrides, bonuses, other allowances and benefits and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources, which include the fees and charges imposed under the Contract.
Directed Services LLC may also compensate wholesalers/distributors, and their management personnel, for past Contract sales within the wholesale/distribution channel. This compensation may be based on a percentage of premium payments and/or a percentage of Contract Values. Directed Services LLC may, at its discretion, pay additional cash compensation to wholesalers/distributors for sales by certain broker-dealers or “focus firms.”
We do not pay any additional compensation on the sale or exercise of any of the Contract’s optional benefit riders described in this prospectus.
This is a general discussion of the types and levels of compensation paid by us for the past sale of our variable annuity contracts. It is important for you to know that the payment of volume- or sales-based compensation to a selling firm or registered representative may have provided that registered representative a financial incentive to promote our contracts over those of another company, and may also have provided a financial incentive to promote one of our contracts over another.

OTHER INFORMATION
Order Processing
In certain circumstances, we may need to correct the pricing associated with an order that has been processed. In such circumstances, we may incur a loss or receive a gain depending upon the price of the fund when the order was executed and the price of the fund when the order is corrected. Losses may be covered from our assets and gains that may result from such order correction will be retained by us as additional compensation associated with order processing.


61


Voting Rights
We will vote the shares of a fund owned by Separate Account B according to your instructions. However, if the 1940 Act or any related regulations should change, or if interpretations of it or related regulations should change, and we decide that we are permitted to vote the shares of a fund in our own right, we may decide to do so.
We determine the number of shares that you have in a subaccount by dividing the Contract’s Contract Value in that subaccount by the net asset value of one share of the fund in which a subaccount invests. We count fractional votes. We will determine the number of shares you can instruct us to vote 180 days or less before a fund shareholder meeting. We will ask you for voting instructions by mail at least ten days before the meeting. If we do not receive your instructions in time, we will vote the shares in the same proportion as the instructions received from all Contracts in that subaccount. We will also vote shares we hold in Separate Account B which are not attributable to Contract Owners in the same proportion. The effect of proportional voting is that a small number of Contract Owners may decide the outcome of a vote.
State Regulation
We are regulated by the Insurance Department of the State of Iowa. We are also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of all jurisdictions where we do business. The Contract offered by this prospectus has been approved where required by those jurisdictions. We are required to submit annual statements of our operations, including financial statements, to the Insurance Departments of the various jurisdictions in which we do business to determine solvency and compliance with state insurance laws and regulations.
Legal Proceedings
We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s ability to meet its obligations under the Contract, Directed Services LLC’s (“DSL”) ability to distribute the Contract or upon the separate account.
Litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and/or DSL are or may be involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. In addition, the life insurance industry has experienced litigation alleging, for example, that insurance companies have breached the terms of their life insurance policies by increasing the insurance rates of the applicable policies inappropriately or by factoring into rate adjustments elements not disclosed under the terms of the applicable policies, and, consequently, unjustly enriched themselves. This litigation is generally known as cost of insurance litigation. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a material adverse effect on either the Company's or DSL’s operations or financial position.
Regulatory Matters. As with other financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates, including DSL, periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. It is the practice of the Company and DSL to cooperate fully in these matters. Regulatory investigations, exams, inquiries and audits could result in regulatory action against the Company and/or DSL or subject the Company and/or DSL to settlement payments, fines, penalties and other financial consequences, as well as changes to the Company’s and/or DSL’s policies and procedures.
The outcome of a litigation/arbitration or regulatory matter and the amount or range of potential loss is difficult to forecast and estimating potential losses requires significant management judgment. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome for all pending litigation/arbitration and regulatory matters and given the large and indeterminate amounts sought and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain litigation or regulatory matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s and/or DSL’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or annual period.

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Introduction
The Contract described in this prospectus is designed to be treated as an annuity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This section discusses our understanding of current federal income tax laws affecting the Contract. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Contract is complex and sometimes uncertain. You should keep the following in mind when reading this section:
Your tax position (or the tax position of the beneficiary, as applicable) determines the federal taxation of amounts held or paid out under the Contract;
Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect contracts issued in the past, including the Contract described in this prospectus;
This section addresses some, but not all, applicable federal income tax rules related to owning, making elections and/or initiating transactions under the Contract and generally does not discuss federal estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes or any other tax provisions;
We do not make any guarantee about the tax treatment of the Contract or transactions involving the Contract; and
No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below.
You should consult with a qualified tax and/or legal adviser before making elections or initiating transactions under the Contract.  When consulting a tax and/or legal adviser, be certain that he or she has expertise with respect to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Tax Code”) that apply to your tax concerns.

We do not intend this information to be tax advice. No attempt is made to provide more than a general summary of information about the use of the Contract with non-tax-qualified and tax-qualified retirement arrangements, and the Tax Code may contain other restrictions and conditions that are not included in this summary. You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser for advice about the effect of federal income tax laws, state tax laws or any other tax laws affecting the Contract or any transactions involving the Contract.
Types of Contracts: Nonqualified or Qualified
The Contract described in this prospectus may be purchased on a non-tax-qualified basis (nonqualified Contracts) or on a tax-qualified basis (qualified Contracts).
Nonqualified Contracts. Nonqualified Contracts do not receive the same tax benefits as are afforded to contracts funding qualified plans. You may not deduct the amount of your premium payments to a nonqualified Contract. Rather, nonqualified Contracts are purchased with after-tax contributions to save money, generally for retirement, with the right to receive annuity payments for either a specified period of time or over a lifetime.
Qualified Contracts. Qualified Contracts are designed for use by individuals whose premium payments are comprised solely of proceeds from and/or contributions to retirement plans or programs that are intended to qualify as plans or programs entitled to special favorable income tax treatment under Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), 408, 408A or 457(b) of the Tax Code. Qualified Contracts may also be offered in connection with deferred compensation plans under Tax Code Section 457(f). Employers or individuals intending to use the Contract with such plans should seek legal and tax advice.
Temporary Rules under CARES Act. On March 27, 2020, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which includes temporary relief from certain tax rules applicable to IRAs and qualified plans.  These changes are discussed below under Taxation of Qualified Contracts. The CARES Act does not change the tax rules applicable to nonqualified contracts.

Taxation of Nonqualified Contracts
Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution or Annuity Starting Date
General. Tax Code Section 72 governs the federal income taxation of annuities in general. We believe that if you are a natural person (in other words, an individual), you will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of a nonqualified Contract until a distribution occurs or until annuity payments begin. This assumes that the Contract will qualify as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. For these purposes, the agreement to collaterally assign or pledge any portion of the contract value will be treated as a distribution. In order to be eligible to receive deferral of taxation, the following requirements must be satisfied:
Diversification. Tax Code Section 817(h) requires that in a nonqualified Contract the investments of the funds be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations in order for the Contract to qualify as an annuity contract under federal tax law. The separate account, through the funds, intends to comply with the diversification requirements prescribed by Tax Code Section 817(h) and by Treasury Regulations Sec. 1.817-5, which affects how the funds’ assets may be invested. If it is determined, however, that your Contract does not satisfy the applicable diversification requirements because a subaccount’s corresponding fund fails to be adequately diversified for whatever reason, we will take appropriate steps to bring your Contract into compliance with such requirements, and we reserve the right to modify your Contract as necessary to do so;
Investor Control. Although earnings under nonqualified annuity contracts are generally not taxed until withdrawn, the IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses incidents of investment control over the assets. In these circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be currently includible in the variable contract owner’s gross income. Future guidance regarding the extent to which owners could direct their investments among subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account may adversely affect the tax treatment of existing Contracts. The Company therefore reserves the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent the contract owner from being considered the federal tax owner of a proportional share of the assets of the separate account;
Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Tax Code requires a nonqualified Contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the Contract will be distributed in the event of your death. The nonqualified Contracts contain provisions that are intended to comply with these Tax Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. When such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise, we intend to review such distribution provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the applicable requirements;
Non-Natural Owners of a Nonqualified Contract. If the owner of the Contract is not a natural person (in other words, is not an individual), a nonqualified Contract generally is not treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes and the income on the Contract for the taxable year is currently taxable as ordinary income. Income on the Contract is any increase in the contract value over the “investment in the Contract” (generally, the premium payments or other consideration you paid for the Contract less any nontaxable withdrawals) during the taxable year. There are some exceptions to this rule and a non-natural person should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser before purchasing the Contract. When the contract owner is not a natural person, a change in the annuitant is treated as the death of the contract owner for purposes of the required distribution rules described above; and
Delayed Annuity Starting Date. If the Contract’s annuity starting date occurs (or is scheduled to occur) at a time when the annuitant has reached an advanced age (e.g., after age 95), it is possible that the Contract would not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes. In that event, the income and gains under the Contract could be currently includible in your income.
Taxation of Distributions
General. When a withdrawal from a nonqualified Contract occurs before the Contract’s annuity starting date, the amount received will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the contract value (unreduced by the amount of any surrender charge) immediately before the distribution over the contract owner’s investment in the Contract at that time. A Market Value Adjustment, if applicable, could increase the contract value. Investment in the Contract is generally equal to the amount of all premium payments to the Contract, plus amounts previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, collateral assignments or gifts, less the aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions previously made.
In the case of a surrender under a nonqualified Contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the contract owner’s investment in the Contract.







64


10% Penalty Tax. A distribution from a nonqualified Contract may be subject to a penalty tax equal to 10% of the amount treated as income. In general, however, there is no penalty tax on distributions:
Made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½;
Made on or after the death of a Contract Owner (or the primary Annuitant if the Contract Owner is a non-natural person);
Attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming disabled as defined in the Tax Code;
Made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary; or
The distribution is allocable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.
The 10% penalty tax does not apply to distributions from an immediate annuity as defined in the Tax Code. Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. A tax and/or legal adviser should be consulted with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.
Tax-Free Exchanges. Section 1035 of the Tax Code permits the exchange of a life insurance, endowment or annuity contract for an annuity contract on a tax-free basis. In such instance, the “investment in the contract” in the old contract will generally carry over to the new contract. You should consult with your tax and/or legal adviser regarding procedures for making Section 1035 exchanges.
If your Contract is purchased through a tax-free exchange of an annuity contract that was purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any distributions other than annuity payments will be treated, for tax purposes, as coming:
First, from any remaining “investment in the contract” made prior to August 14, 1982, and exchanged into the Contract;
Next, from any “income on the contract” attributable to the investment made prior to August 14, 1982;
Then, from any “income on the contract” attributable to investments made after August 13, 1982; and
Lastly, from any remaining “investment in the contract” made after August 13, 1982.
In certain instances, the partial exchange of a portion of one annuity contract for another contract is a tax-free exchange. Pursuant to IRS guidance, receipt of partial withdrawals or surrenders from either the original contract or the new contract during the 180 day period beginning on the date of the partial exchange may retroactively negate the partial exchange. If the partial exchange is retroactively negated, the amount exchanged from the original contract may be treated as a withdrawal, taxable as ordinary income to the extent of gain in the original contract and, if the partial exchange occurred prior to you reaching age 59½, may be subject to an additional 10% penalty tax. We are not responsible for the manner in which any other insurance company, for tax reporting purposes, or the IRS, with respect to the ultimate tax treatment, reports or recognizes a partial exchange. We strongly advise you to discuss any proposed 1035 exchange or subsequent distribution within 180 days of a partial exchange with your tax and/or legal adviser prior to proceeding with the transaction.
Taxation of Annuity Payments. Although tax consequences may vary depending upon the payment option elected under an annuity contract, a portion of each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity payment is generally determined in a manner that is designed to allow you to recover your investment in the Contract ratably on a tax-free basis over the expected stream of annuity payments, as determined when annuity payments start. Once your investment in the Contract has been fully recovered, however, the full amount of each subsequent annuity payment is subject to tax as ordinary income.
Annuity Contracts that are partially annuitized are treated as separate contracts with their own annuity starting date and exclusion ratio. Specifically, an exclusion ratio will be applied to any amount received as an annuity under a portion of the annuity Contract, provided that annuity payments are made for a period of ten years or more or for life. Please consult your tax and/or legal adviser before electing a partial annuitization.
Death Benefits.  Subject to the Tax Code section 72(s) or 401(a)(9), as applicable, amounts may be distributed from a Contract because of your death or the death of the annuitant. Different distribution requirements apply if your death occurs:
After you begin receiving annuity payments under the Contract; or
Before you begin receiving such distributions.
If your death occurs after you begin receiving annuity payments, any remaining distributions must be made at least as rapidly as under the method in effect at the time of your death.
If your death occurs before you begin receiving annuity payments, your entire balance must be distributed within five years after the date of your death. For example, if you die on September 1, 2020, your entire balance must be distributed by August 31, 2025. However, if distributions begin within one year of your death, then payments may be made over one of the following timeframes:
Over the life of the designated beneficiary; or
Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary.


65


If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, the Contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new contract owner. If the contract owner is a non-natural person and the primary annuitant dies or is changed, the same rules apply as outlined above for the death of the contract owner.
Generally, amounts distributed from a Contract because of your death or the death of the annuitant prior to the time annuity payments begin are includible in the income of the recipient as follows:
If distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the Contract; or
If distributed under a payment option, they are taxed in the same way as annuity payments.
Special rules apply to amounts distributed after a beneficiary has elected to maintain the contract value and receive payments.
If the death occurs after annuity payments begin, a guaranteed period exists under the annuity option selected, and the annuitant dies before the end of that period, payments made for the remainder of that period are includible in income as follows:
If distributed in a lump sum, they are included in income to the extent that they exceed the unrecovered investment in the Contract at that time; or
If distributed in accordance with the existing annuity option selected, they are fully excluded from income until the remaining investment in the contract is deemed to be recovered, and all payments thereafter are fully includible in income.
Some Contracts offer a death benefit that may exceed the greater of the premium payments and the contract value. Certain charges are imposed with respect to these death benefits. It is possible that these charges (or some portion thereof) could be treated for federal tax purposes as a distribution from the Contract.
Collateral Assignments, Pledges, Gratuitous Transfers and Other Issues. A pledge or collateral assignment (or agreement to pledge or collaterally assign) any portion of the contract value of a nonqualified Contract is treated as a distribution of such amount or portion. If the entire contract value is pledged or collaterally assigned, subsequent increases in the contract value are also treated as distributions for as long as the pledge or collateral assignment remains in place. The investment in the Contract is increased by the amount includible in income with respect to such pledge or collateral assignment, though it is not affected by any other aspect of the pledge or collateral assignment (including its release).
If an owner transfers a nonqualified Contract without adequate consideration (a gratuitous transfer) to a person other than the owner’s spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a divorce), the owner must include in income the difference between the “cash surrender value” and the investment in the Contract at the time of the transfer. In such case, the transferee’s investment in the Contract will be increased to reflect the amount that is included in the transferor’s income. The exceptions for transfers to an owner’s spouse or former spouse are limited to individuals who are treated as spouses under federal law.
The designation of an annuitant or payee other than an owner may result in certain tax consequences to you that are generally not discussed herein.
Anyone contemplating any pledges, collateral assignments, gratuitous transfers, or other designations, should consult a tax and/or legal adviser regarding the potential tax effects of such a transaction.
Multiple Contracts. Tax laws require that all nonqualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by a company or its affiliates to the same contract owner during any calendar year be treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in gross income under Tax Code Section 72(e). In addition, the Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regulations that prevent the avoidance of Tax Code Section 72(e) through the serial purchase of annuity contracts or otherwise.
Net Investment Income Tax. A net investment income tax of 3.8% will apply to some types of investment income. This tax will apply to all taxable distributions from nonqualified contracts. This tax only applies to taxpayers with “modified adjusted gross income” above $250,000 in the case of married couples filing jointly or a qualifying widow(er) with dependent child, $125,000 in the case of married couples filing separately, and $200,000 for all others.
Withholding. We will withhold and remit to the IRS a part of the taxable portion of each distribution made under a Contract unless the distributee notifies us at or before the time of the distribution that he or she elects not to have any amounts withheld. Withholding is mandatory, however, if the distributee fails to provide a valid taxpayer identification number, if we are notified by the IRS that the taxpayer identification number we have on file is incorrect or if payment is made outside of the U.S. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments are the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. In addition, a 10% withholding rate applies to the taxable portion of any non-periodic payments. Regardless of whether you elect to have federal income tax withheld, you are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the payment.




66


Certain states have indicated that state income tax withholding will also apply to payments from the Contracts made to residents. Generally, an election out of federal withholding will also be considered an election out of state withholding. In some states, you may elect out of state withholding, even if federal withholding applies. If you need more information concerning a particular state or any required forms, please contact Customer Service.
If the payee is a non-resident alien, then U.S. federal withholding on taxable distributions will generally be at a 30% rate, unless a lower tax treaty rate applies. We may require additional documentation prior to processing any requested transaction.
If the payee of a distribution from the Contract is a foreign financial institution (“FFI”) or a non-financial foreign entity (“NFFE”) within the meaning of the Tax Code as amended by the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the distribution could be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on the taxable amount of the distribution at a 30% rate irrespective of the status of any beneficial Owner of the Contract or the distribution. The rules relating to FATCA are complex, and a tax adviser should be consulted if an FFI or NFFE is or may be designated as a payee with respect to the Contract.
Taxation of Qualified Contracts
Temporary Rules under the CARES Act
As noted above, on March 27, 2020, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which includes temporary relief from certain of the tax rules applicable to IRAs and qualified plans. The scope and availability of this temporary relief may vary depending on a number of factors, including (1) the type of plan or IRA with which the contract is used, (2) whether a plan sponsor implements a particular type of relief, (3) your specific circumstances, and (4) future guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor.  You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser to determine if relief is available to you before taking or failing to take any actions involving your IRA or other qualified contract.
Required Minimum Distributions.  The CARES Act waives the requirement to take minimum distributions from IRAs and defined contribution plans in 2020.  The waiver applies to any minimum distribution due from such arrangements in 2020, including minimum distributions with respect to the 2019 tax year that are due in 2020.  
This relief applies both to lifetime and post-death minimum distributions due in 2020.  In that regard, the CARES Act also provides that if the post-death 5-year rule described below under “Required Distributions upon Death” applies, the 5-year period is determined without regard to calendar year 2020.  It is unclear whether this special exception extends to the 10-year period also described below under that same heading.
Distributions.  The CARES Act provides relief for coronavirus-related distributions made from an “eligible retirement plan” (defined below) to a “qualified individual” (also defined below).  The relief:    
Permits in-service distributions, even if such amounts are not otherwise distributable from the plan under Tax Code sections 401(k), 403(b), or 457;
Provides an exception to the 10% Additional Tax under Tax Code section 72(t);
Exempts the distribution from the mandatory 20% withholding applicable to eligible rollover distributions;
Permits an IRA owner or employee to include income attributable to the distribution over the three-year period beginning with the year the distribution would otherwise be taxable unless they elect out; and
Permits recontribution of the distribution to an eligible retirement plan within three years, in which case the recontribution is generally treated as a direct trustee to trustee transfer within 60 days of the distribution. 
The distribution must come from, and any recontribution must be made to, an “eligible retirement plan” within the meaning of Tax Code section 402(c)(8)(B), i.e., an IRA, 401(a) plan, 403(a) plan, 403(b) plan, or governmental 457(b) plan, including Roth arrangements.  The relief is limited to aggregate distributions of $100,000.  The relief applies to such distributions made at any time during the 2020 calendar year.  
Plan Loans.  The CARES Act provides the following relief with respect to plan loans taken by any “qualified individual” (as defined below):
For loans made during the 180-day period beginning March 27, 2020, the maximum loan amount under the Tax Code is increased from $50,000 or 50% of the vested account balance to $100,000 or 100% of the vested account balance. 
The due date under the Tax Code for any repayment on a loan that otherwise is due between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020, would be delayed for one year.  





67


Individuals Eligible for Withdrawal and Loan Relief.  Only a “qualified individual” is eligible for the withdrawal and loan relief provided under the CARES Act.  A “qualified individual” is an individual in one of the following categories:
The individual is diagnosed with the virus SARS-CoV-2 or with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by a test approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;
The individual’s spouse or dependent is diagnosed with such virus or disease; or
The individual experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, being furloughed or laid off or having work hours reduced due to such virus or disease, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to such virus or disease, closing or reducing hours of a business owned or operated by the individual due to such virus or disease, or other factors as determined by Internal Revenue Service.
The CARES Act provides that the administrator of an eligible retirement plan may rely on an employee’s certification that the employee is a qualified individual as defined above.
Eligible Retirement Plans and Programs
The Contract may have been purchased with the following retirement plans and programs to accumulate retirement savings:
Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) Plans. Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 403(a) of the Tax Code permit certain employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees, and permit self-employed individuals to establish these plans for themselves and their employees;
403(b) Plans. Section 403(b) of the Tax Code allows employees of certain Tax Code Section 501(c)(3) organizations and public schools to exclude from their gross income the premium payments made, within certain limits, to a Contract that will provide an annuity for the employee’s retirement;
Individual Retirement Annuities (“IRA”) and Roth IRA. Section 408 of the Tax Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”). Certain employers may establish Simplified Employee Pension (“SEP”) or Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (“SIMPLE”) plans to provide IRA contributions on behalf of their employees. Section 408A of the Tax Code permits certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA, which provides for tax-free distributions, subject to certain restrictions. Sales of the Contract for use with IRAs or Roth IRAs may be subject to special requirements of the IRS. The IRS has not reviewed the Contract described in this prospectus for qualification as an IRA and has not addressed, in a ruling of general applicability, whether the Contract’s death benefit provisions comply with IRA qualification requirements; and
457 Plans. Section 457 of the Tax Code permits certain employers to offer deferred compensation plans for their employees. These plans may be offered by state governments, local governments, political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and certain affiliates of such entities (governmental employers), as well as non-governmental, tax-exempt organizations (non-governmental employers). A 457 plan may be either a 457(b) plan or a 457(f) plan. Participation in a 457(b) plan maintained by a non-governmental employer is generally limited to a select group of management and highly-compensated employees (other than 457(b) plans maintained by nonqualified, church-controlled organizations). Depending on the plan design, the participant may be entitled to determine the investment allocation of their deferred compensation account. There is no further information specific to 457 plans in this prospectus.
The Company may offer or may have offered the Contract for use with certain other types of qualified plans. Please see your Contract and consult with your tax adviser if you have questions about other types of plan arrangements not discussed herein.
Special Considerations for IRAs. IRAs are subject to limits on the amounts that can be contributed, the deductible amount of the contribution, the persons who may be eligible, and the time when distributions commence. Contributions to IRAs must be made in cash or as a rollover or a transfer from another eligible plan. Also, distributions from IRAs, individual retirement accounts, and other types of retirement plans may be “rolled over” on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. You may roll over a distribution from an IRA to an IRA only once in any 12 month period. You will not be able to roll over any portion of an IRA distribution if you rolled over any other IRA distribution during the preceding one-year period. This limit applies by aggregating all of your IRAs, including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs as well as traditional and Roth IRAs effectively treating them as one IRA for purposes of this limit. Please note that this one-rollover-per-year rule does not apply to: (1) the conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA; (2) a rollover to or from a qualified plan; or (3) a trustee-to-trustee transfer between IRAs. Please consult your own tax and/or legal adviser if you have additional questions about these rules.
Distributions from SIMPLE IRAs made within two years of beginning participation in the SIMPLE IRA are subject to a 25% early distribution tax.






68


Special Considerations for Roth IRAs. Contributions to a Roth IRA are subject to limits on the amount of contributions and the persons who may be eligible to contribute. Roth IRA contributions are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA, IRA or eligible plan. Individuals may convert an IRA, SEP, or a SIMPLE to a Roth IRA. Such rollovers and conversions are subject to tax, and other special rules may apply. A conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, and a rollover from any other eligible retirement plan to a Roth IRA, made after December 31, 2017, cannot be recharacterized as having been made to a traditional IRA.
You will not be able to roll over any portion of a Roth IRA distribution if you rolled over any other IRA distribution during the preceding one-year period. This limit applies by aggregating all of your IRAs, including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs, as well as traditional and Roth IRAs, effectively treating them as one IRA for purposes of this limit. Please note that this one-rollover-per-year rule does not apply to: (1) the conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA; (2) a rollover to or from a qualified plan; or (3) a trustee-to-trustee transfer between Roth IRAs. Please consult your own tax and/or legal adviser if you have additional questions about these rules.
A 10% penalty tax may apply to amounts attributable to a conversion to a Roth IRA if the amounts are distributed during the five taxable years beginning with the year in which the conversion was made. Sales of a Contract for use with a Roth IRA may be subject to special requirements of the IRS. The IRS has not reviewed the Contracts described in this prospectus for qualification as Roth IRAs and has not addressed, in a ruling of general applicability, whether the Contract’s death benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification requirements.
Taxation
The tax rules applicable to qualified Contracts vary according to the type of qualified Contract and the specific terms and conditions of the qualified Contract and the terms and conditions of the qualified plan or program. The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on the amounts held under a qualified Contract, or on income phase (i.e., annuity) payments from a qualified Contract, depends upon the type of qualified Contract or program as well as your particular facts and circumstances. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of contributions and distributions. In addition, certain requirements must be satisfied in purchasing a qualified Contract with proceeds from a tax-qualified plan or program in order to continue receiving favorable tax treatment.
Adverse tax consequences may result from:
Contributions in excess of specified limits;
Distributions before age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions);
Distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules; and
Certain other specified circumstances.
Some qualified plans and programs are subject to additional distribution or other requirements that are not incorporated into the Contract described in this prospectus. No attempt is made to provide more than general information about the use of the Contract with qualified plans and programs. Contract owners, sponsoring employers, participants, annuitants and beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefit under these qualified plans and programs may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan or program, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contract. The Company is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans and programs to the extent such terms contradict the language of the Contract, unless we consent in writing.
Contract owners, sponsoring employers, participants, annuitants and beneficiaries generally are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contract comply with applicable law. Therefore, you should seek tax and/or legal advice regarding the suitability of the Contract for your particular situation. The following discussion assumes that qualified Contracts are purchased with proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans or programs that qualify for the intended special federal tax treatment.
Tax Deferral. Under federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity contracts are generally not taxed until they are withdrawn. However, in the case of a qualified plan (as described in this prospectus), an annuity contract is not necessary to obtain this favorable tax treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already available to the qualified plan itself. Annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as the guaranteed death benefit or the option of lifetime income phase options at established rates) that may be valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with a qualified financial representative taking into account the additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity.
Contributions
In order to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, total annual contributions to certain qualified plans and programs are limited by the Tax Code. We provide general information on these requirements for certain plans and programs below. You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser in connection with contributions to a qualified Contract.


69


401(a), 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b) Plans. The total annual contributions (including pre-tax contributions) by you and your employer cannot exceed, generally, the lesser of 100% of your compensation or $57,000 (2020). Compensation means your compensation for the year from the employer sponsoring the plan and includes any elective deferrals under Tax Code Section 402(g) and any amounts not includible in gross income under Tax Code Sections 125 or 457.
This limit applies to your contributions as well as to any contributions made by your employer on your behalf. An additional requirement limits your salary reduction contributions to a 401(k) or 403(b) plan to generally no more than $19,500 (2020). Contribution limits are subject to annual adjustments for cost-of-living increases. Your own limit may be higher or lower, depending upon certain conditions.
Contributions and premium payments to your account(s) will generally be excluded from your gross income.
Catch-up Contributions. Notwithstanding the contribution limits noted above, if permitted by the plan, a participant in a 401(k), Roth 401(k) or 403(b) plan who is at least age 50 by the end of the participant’s taxable year may contribute an additional amount (“Age 50 Catch-ups”) not to exceed the lesser of:
 
 
$6,500 (2020); or
 
 
The participant’s compensation for the year reduced by any other elective deferrals of the participant for the year.
Traditional and Roth IRAs. You are eligible to contribute to a traditional IRA if you have compensation includible in income for the taxable year. For 2020, the contribution to your traditional IRA generally cannot exceed the lesser of $6,000 or your taxable compensation. If you are age 50 or older, you can make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000. Contributions to a traditional IRA may be deductible depending on your modified adjusted gross income (“MAGI”), tax filing status, and whether you or your spouse are an active participant in a retirement plan.
You may be eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA if you have compensation includible in income for the year. For 2020, the contribution to a Roth IRA cannot exceed the lesser of $6,000 or your taxable compensation. If you are age 50 or older, you can make an additional catch up contribution of $1,000. The amount you can contribute to a Roth IRA is reduced by the amount of any contributions you make to an individual retirement plan for your benefit (not including SEPs or SIMPLE IRAs). Your ability to contribute to a Roth IRA may be further limited by your MAGI and tax filing status. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible.
Distributions − General
Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the Contract. A distribution is any amount taken from a Contract including withdrawals, income phase (i.e., annuity) payments and death benefit proceeds. If a portion of a distribution is taxable, the distribution will be reported to the IRS.
Section 401(a), 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b) Plans. Distributions from these plans are taxed as received unless one of the following is true:
The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and is directly transferred or rolled over within 60 days to another plan eligible to receive rollovers or to a traditional IRA in accordance with the Tax Code;
You made after-tax contributions to the plan. In this case, depending upon the type of distribution, the amount will be taxed on all or part of the earnings on the contributions according to the rules detailed in the Tax Code; or
The distribution is a qualified health insurance premium of a retired public safety officer as defined in the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
A distribution is an eligible rollover distribution unless it is:
Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least one per year) made over the life (or life expectancy) of the participant or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the participant and his designated beneficiary or for a specified period of ten years or more;
A required minimum distribution under Tax Code Section 401(a)(9);
A hardship withdrawal; or
Otherwise not recognized under applicable regulations as eligible for rollover.
Traditional IRAs. All distributions from a traditional IRA are generally taxed as received unless either one of the following is true:
The distribution is directly transferred or rolled over within 60 days to another traditional IRA or to a plan eligible to receive rollovers as permitted under the Tax Code; or
You made after-tax contributions to the traditional IRA. In this case, the distribution will be taxed according to rules detailed in the Tax Code.
10% Additional Tax. The Tax Code imposes a 10% additional tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a Contract used with a 401(a), 401(k), 403(a) or 403(b) plan (collectively, qualified plans). The Tax Code imposes a 10% additional tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a traditional or Roth IRA.


70


Exceptions to the 10% additional tax apply if:
You have attained age 59½;
You have become disabled, as defined in the Tax Code;
You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary;
The distribution amount is rolled over tax free into another eligible retirement plan or to a traditional or Roth IRA in accordance with the terms of the Tax Code;
The distribution is paid directly to the government in accordance with an IRS levy;
The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution as defined under the Tax Code;
The distribution is a qualified birth or adoption distribution;
The distribution is eligible for penalty relief extended to victims of certain natural disasters; or
You have unreimbursed medical expenses that are deductible (without regard to whether you itemize deductions).
Additional exceptions may apply to distributions from a traditional or Roth IRA if:
The distribution amount is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated beneficiary;
The distributions are not more than the cost of your medical insurance due to a period of unemployment (subject to certain conditions);
The distributions are not more than your qualified higher education expenses; or
You use the distribution to buy, build or rebuild a first home.
Additional exceptions may apply to distributions from a qualified plan if:
You have separated from service with the plan sponsor at or after age 55;
You are a qualified public safety employee taking a distribution from a governmental plan and you separated from service after age 50;
You have separated from service with the plan sponsor and the distribution amount is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated Beneficiary; or
The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (“QDRO”).
The Tax Code may provide other exceptions or impose other penalty taxes in other circumstances.
Roth IRAs. A qualified distribution from a Roth IRA is not includible in gross income. A qualified distribution from a Roth IRA is a payment or distribution that meets the following two requirements:
 
It is made after the five-year period beginning with the first taxable year for which a contribution was made to any Roth IRA established for the benefit of the owner; and
 
It is:
 
Made on or after the date on which the owner attains age 59½;
 
Made to a beneficiary (or to the estate of the owner) on or after the death of the owner;
 
Attributable to the owner being disabled (within the meaning of the Tax Code); or
 
A qualified first time homebuyer distribution (within the meaning of the Tax Code).
If a payment or a distribution from a Roth account is not a qualified distribution, the portion allocable to earnings is includible in gross income and may be subject to the additional 10% additional tax discussed above. Special ordering rules apply for purposes of determining the taxable portion of a payment or distribution from a Roth account.
Distributions − Eligibility
Distributions generally may occur only upon the occurrence of certain events. The terms of your 401(a), 401(k), 403(a) or 403(b) plan will govern when you are eligible to take a distribution form the plan. The following describes circumstances when you may be able to take a distribution from certain more common types of plans.












71


401(a) Pension Plans. Subject to the terms of your 401(a) pension plan, distributions generally may occur only upon:
Retirement;
Death;
 
Disability;
Severance from employment;
Attainment of normal retirement age;
Attainment of age 59 ½; or
Termination of the plan.
Such distributions remain subject to other applicable restrictions under the Tax Code.
401(k) Plans. Subject to the term of your 401(k) plan, distributions from your 401(k) employee account, and possibly all or a portion of your 401(k) employer account, generally may occur only upon:
Retirement;
Death;
Attainment of age 59½;
Severance from employment;
Disability;
The birth or adoption of the child;

If the Company agrees to accept amounts exchanged from a Tax Code Section 403(b)(7) custodial account, such amounts will be subject to the withdrawal restrictions set forth in Tax Code Section 403(b)(7)(A)(ii).

Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) and IRAs)
To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any designated beneficiary must also satisfy the required minimum distribution rules set forth in the Tax Code. These rules dictate the following:
The start date for distributions;
The time period in which all amounts in your Contract(s) must be distributed; and
Distribution amounts.







72


Start Date. Generally, you must begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 72 (age 70½ if born before July 1, 1949) or in the case of an employer-sponsored plan, April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you retire, whichever occurs later, unless:
Under 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), or 403(b) plans that are not governmental or church plans, you are a 5% owner, in which case such distributions must begin by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 72 (age 70½ if born before July 1 1949); or
Under 403(b) plans, the Company maintains separate records of amounts held as of December 31, 1986. In this case distribution of these amounts generally must begin by the end of the calendar year in which you attain age 75. However, if you take any distributions in excess of the minimum required amount, then special rules require that the excess be distributed from the December 31, 1986 balance.
Time Period. You must receive distributions from the Contract over a period not extending beyond one of the following time periods:
Over your life or the joint lives of you and your designated beneficiary; or
Over a period not greater than your life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary.
Distribution Amounts. The amount of each required minimum distribution must be calculated in accordance with Tax Code Section 401(a)(9). Before annuity payments begin, the required minimum distribution amount is generally determined by dividing the entire interest in the account as of December 31 of the preceding year by the applicable distribution period. The entire interest in the account includes the amount of any outstanding rollover, transfer and recharacterization, if applicable, and the actuarial present value of other benefits provided under the account, such as guaranteed death benefits and any optional living benefit. If annuity payments have begun under an annuity option that satisfies the Tax Code Section 401(a)(9) regulations, such payments will generally be viewed as satisfying your required minimum distribution.
50% Excise Tax. If you fail to receive the required minimum distribution for any tax year, a 50% excise tax is imposed on the required amount that was not distributed. In certain circumstances this excise tax may be waived by the IRS.
Roth IRAs. Required minimum distributions are not applicable to Roth IRAs during your lifetime. Further information regarding required minimum distributions may be found in your Contract.
Required Distributions upon Death (401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), IRAs and Roth IRAs)
Upon your death under a qualified Contract, any remaining interest must be distributed in accordance with federal income tax requirements under Section 401(a)(9) of the Tax Code.  The death benefit provisions of your qualified Contract shall be interpreted to comply with those requirements.  The post-death distribution requirements were amended, applicable generally with respect to deaths occurring after 2019, by the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act (“SECURE Act”), which was part of the larger Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020.  The post-death distribution requirements under prior law continue to apply in certain circumstances.
Prior Law.  Under prior law, if an employee under an employer sponsored plan or the owner of an IRA dies prior to the required beginning date, the remaining interest must be distributed (1) within 5 years after the death (the “5-year rule”), or (2) over the life of the designated beneficiary, or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary, provided that such distributions commence within one year after death (the “lifetime payout rule”).  If the employee or IRA owner dies on or after the required beginning date (including after the date distributions have commenced in the form of an annuity), the remaining interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of death (the “at-least-as-rapidly rule”).
The New Law.  Under the new law, if you die after 2019, and you have a designated beneficiary, any remaining interest must be distributed within 10 years after your death, unless the designated beneficiary is an “eligible designated beneficiary” (“EDB”) or some other exception applies.  A designated beneficiary is any individual designated as a beneficiary by the employee or IRA owner.  An EDB is any designated beneficiary who is (1) your surviving spouse, (2) your minor child, (3) disabled, (4) chronically ill, or (5) an individual not more than 10 years younger than you.  An individual’s status as an EDB is determined on the date of your death.
This 10-year post-death distribution period applies regardless of whether you die before your required beginning date or you die on or after that date (including after distributions have commenced in the form of an annuity).  However, if the beneficiary is an EDB and the EDB dies before the entire interest is distributed under this 10-year rule, the remaining interest must be distributed within 10 years after the EDB’s death (i.e., a new 10-year distribution period begins).
Instead of taking distributions under the new 10-year rule, an EDB can stretch distributions over life, or over a period not extending beyond life expectancy, provided that such distributions commence within one year of your death, subject to certain special rules.  In particular, if the EDB dies before the remaining interest is distributed under this stretch rule, the remaining interest must be distributed within 10 years after the EDB’s death (regardless of whether the remaining distribution period under the stretch rule was more or less than 10 years).  In addition, if your minor child is an EDB, the child will cease to be an EDB on the date the child reaches the age of majority, and any remaining interest must be distributed within 10 years after that date (regardless of whether the remaining distribution period under the stretch rule was more or less than 10 years).

73


If your beneficiary is not an individual, such as a charity, your estate, or in some cases a trust, any remaining interest after your death generally must be distributed under prior law in accordance with the 5-year rule or the at-least-as-rapidly rule, as applicable (but not the lifetime payout rule).  However, if your beneficiary is a trust and all the beneficiaries of the trust are individuals, the new law may apply pursuant to special rules that treat the beneficiaries of the trust as designated beneficiaries, including special rules allowing a beneficiary of a trust who is disabled or chronically ill to stretch the distribution of their interest over their life or life expectancy in some cases.  You should consult a professional tax adviser about the federal income tax consequences of your beneficiary designations, particularly if a trust is involved.
More generally, the new law applies if you die after 2019, subject to several exceptions.  In particular, if your plan is maintained pursuant to one or more collective bargaining agreements, the new law generally applies to your interest in that plan if you die after 2021 (unless the collective bargaining agreements terminate earlier).
In addition, the new post-death distribution requirements generally do not apply if the employee or IRA owner died prior to January 1, 2020.  However, if the designated beneficiary of the deceased employee or IRA owner dies after January 1, 2020, any remaining interest must be distributed within 10 years of the designated beneficiary’s death.  Hence, this 10-year rule generally will apply to (1) a contract issued prior to 2020 which continues to be held by a designated beneficiary of an employee or IRA owner who died prior to 2020, and (2) an inherited IRA issued after 2019 to the designated beneficiary of an employee or IRA owner who died prior to 2020.
It is important to note that under prior law, annuity payments that commenced under a method that satisfied the distribution requirements while the employee or IRA owner was alive could continue to be made under that method after the death of the employee or IRA owner.  Under the new law, however, if you commence taking distributions in the form of an annuity that can continue after your death, such as in the form of a joint and survivor annuity or an annuity with a guaranteed period of more than 10 years, any distributions after your death that are scheduled to be made beyond the applicable distribution period imposed under the new law might need to be accelerated at the end of that period (or otherwise modified after your death if permitted under federal tax law and by us) in order to comply with the new post-death distribution requirements.
Certain transition rules may apply.  Please consult your tax adviser.
Spousal continuation.  Under the new law, as under prior law, if your beneficiary is your spouse, your surviving spouse can delay the application of the post-death distribution requirements until after your surviving spouse’s death by transferring the remaining interest tax-free to your surviving spouse’s own IRA, or by treating your IRA as your surviving spouse’s own IRA.
The post-death distribution requirements are complex and unclear in numerous respects.  The Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of the Treasury have issued very little guidance on the new law.  In addition, the manner in which these requirements will apply will depend on your particular facts and circumstances.  You should consult a professional tax adviser for tax advice as to your particular situation
Withholding
In general, the withholding rules described above for nonqualified Contracts also apply to Qualified Contract. In addition, special withholding rules apply to eligible rollover distributions from 401(a), 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b) plans.
401(a), 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b) Plans. Generally, eligible rollover distributions from these plans are subject to a mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding. However, mandatory withholding will not be required if you elect a direct rollover of the distributions to an eligible retirement plan or in the case of certain other distributions described in the Tax Code.
Assignment and Other Transfers
401(a), 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b) Plans. Your beneficial interest in the Contract may not be assigned or transferred to persons other than:
A plan participant as a means to provide benefit payments;
An alternate payee under a QDRO in accordance with Tax Code Section 414(p);
The Company as collateral for a loan; or
The enforcement of a federal income tax lien or levy.
IRAs and Roth IRAs. The Tax Code does not allow a transfer or assignment of your rights under these Contracts except in limited circumstances. Adverse tax consequences may result if you assign or transfer your interest in the Contract to persons other than your spouse incident to a divorce. Anyone contemplating such an assignment or transfer should contact a tax and/or legal adviser regarding the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits
Living Benefits. Except as otherwise noted below, when a full or partial withdrawal from a Contract occurs under a LifePay Plus or Joint LifePay Plus rider, the amount received will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the contract value (unreduced by the amount of any deferred sales charge) immediately before the distribution over the investment in the Contract at that time.
Investment in the Contract is generally equal to the amount of all contributions to the Contract previously included in your gross income, plus amounts previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, assignments, or gifts, less the aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions previously made. The income on the Contract for purposes of calculating the taxable amount of a distribution may be unclear. For example, the living benefits provided under the LifePay Plus or Joint LifePay Plus rider, as well as any applicable Market Value Adjustment, could increase the contract value that applies. Thus, the income on the Contract could be higher than the amount of income that would be determined without regard to such a benefit. As a result, you could have higher amounts of income than will be reported to you. In addition, payments under any guaranteed payment phase of such riders may be subject to the exclusion ratio rules under Tax Code Section 72(b) for tax purposes. Please consult your tax and/or legal adviser about the tax consequences of living benefits.
Payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal pursuant to the Income Optimizer under the LifePay Plus or Joint LifePay Plus rider are designed to be treated as annuity payments for withholding and tax reporting purposes. A portion of each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity payment is generally determined in a manner that is designed to allow you to recover your investment in the Contract ratably on a tax-free basis over the expected stream of annuity payments, as determined when your payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal pursuant to the Income Optimizer start. Any withdrawals in addition to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal payments you are receiving pursuant to the Income Optimizer constitute Excess Withdrawals under the LifePay Plus or Joint LifePay Plus rider, causing a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base and Maximum Annual Withdrawal. This reduction will result in a proportional reduction in the non-taxable portion of your future Maximum Annual Withdrawal payments. Once your investment in the Contract has been fully recovered, the full amount of each of your future Maximum Annual Withdrawal payments would be subject to tax as ordinary income.
For qualified Contracts issued with a LifePay Plus or Joint LifePay Plus rider it is possible that the death benefit could raise an issue under the “minimum income threshold test” described in Treasury Reg. section 1.401(a)(9)-6 as the death benefit under these riders could be viewed as providing an increasing benefit.  Please consult your legal and/or tax adviser about the tax consequences of living benefits death benefits.
Enhanced Death Benefits. The Contract offers a death benefit that may exceed the greater of premium payments and the contract value. It is possible that the IRS could characterize such a death benefit as other than an incidental death benefit, which may result in currently taxable income and could affect the amount of required minimum distributions. Additionally, because certain charges are imposed with respect to some of the available death benefits it is possible those charges (or some portion thereof) could be treated for federal tax purposes as a distribution from the Contract. Please consult your legal and/or tax adviser about the tax consequences of enhanced death benefits.
Same-Sex Marriages
If allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code, the Contract provides that upon your death a surviving spouse may have certain continuation rights that he or she may elect to exercise for the Contract’s Death Benefit and any joint-life coverage under a living benefit. All contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. U.S. Treasury Department regulations provide that for federal tax purposes, the term “spouse” does not include individuals (whether of the opposite sex or the same sex) who have entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar formal relationship that is not denominated as a marriage under the laws of the state where the relationship was entered into, regardless of domicile. As a result, if a beneficiary of a deceased owner and the owner were parties to such a relationship, the beneficiary will be required by federal tax law to take distributions from the Contract in the manner applicable to non-spouse beneficiaries and will not be able to continue the Contract. Please consult your tax and/or legal adviser for further information about this subject. Please consult your tax and/or legal adviser for further information about this subject.

Possible Changes in Taxation
Although the likelihood of changes in tax legislation, regulation, rulings and other interpretation thereof is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Contracts could change by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any change could be retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). In this regard, on March 27, 2020, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).  Among other provision, the CARES Act includes temporary relief from certain of the tax rules applicable to IRAs and qualified plans.  See “Taxation of Qualified Contracts” for more details.  You should consult a tax and/or legal adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Contract.
Taxation of the Company
We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. The separate account is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” but is taxed as part of the Company.
We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the separate account to increase reserves under the Contracts. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase reserves under the Contracts. In addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will be first used to reduce any income taxes imposed on the separate account before being used by the Company.
In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the separate account and we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in federal tax laws and/or their interpretation thereof may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the separate account. In this case we may impose a charge against the separate account (with respect to some or all of the Contracts) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes. We may deduct this amount from the separate account, including from your contract value invested in the subaccounts.

Open Funds
During the accumulation phase, you may allocate your premium payments and Contract Value to any of the open funds available under this Contract, plus any Fixed Interest Allocation that is available. The funds that are currently open and available for allocation are listed below in this appendix. You bear the entire investment risk for amounts you allocate to any fund, and you may lose your principal.
The investment results of the funds are likely to differ significantly and there is no assurance that any of the funds will achieve their respective investment objectives. You should consider the investment objectives, risks and charges and expenses of the funds carefully before investing. Please refer to the funds’ prospectuses for this and additional information.
Shares of the funds will rise and fall in value and you could lose money by investing in them. Shares of the funds are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any financial institution, the FDIC or any other government agency. Fund prospectuses may be obtained free of charge, from Customer Service at the address and telephone number listed in the prospectus, by accessing the SEC’s website or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Room. If you received a summary prospectus for any of the funds available through your Contract, you may also obtain a full prospectus and other fund information free of charge by either accessing the internet address, calling the telephone number or sending an email request to the contact information shown on the front of the fund’s summary prospectus.
Certain funds offered under the Contract have investment objectives and policies similar to other funds managed by the fund’s investment adviser. The investment results of a fund may be higher or lower than those of other funds managed by the same adviser. There is no assurance and no representation is made that the investment results of any fund will be comparable to those of another fund managed by the same investment adviser.
Certain funds are designated as “fund of funds.” Funds offered in a fund of funds structure may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities.
Certain funds employ a managed volatility strategy. A managed volatility strategy is a strategy that is intended to reduce a fund’s overall volatility and downside risk and, thereby, help us manage the risks associated with providing certain guarantees under the Contract.
Consult with your investment professional to determine if the funds may be suited to your financial needs, investment time horizon and risk tolerance. You should periodically review these factors to determine if you need to change your investment strategy.

APPENDIX C
Fixed Account II
Fixed Account II (“Fixed Account”) is an optional Fixed Interest Allocation option offered during the accumulation phase of your variable annuity Contract. The Fixed Account, which is a segregated asset account of VIAC, provides a means for you to invest on a tax-deferred basis and earn a guaranteed interest for guaranteed interest periods (Fixed Interest Allocation(s)). We will credit your Fixed Interest Allocation(s) with a fixed rate of interest. We currently offer Fixed Interest Allocations with guaranteed interest periods that may vary by maturity, state of issue and rate. In addition, we may offer dollar cost averaging Fixed Interest Allocations, which are six-month and one-year Fixed Interest Allocations available exclusively in connection with our dollar cost averaging program. We may offer additional guaranteed interest periods in some or all states, may not offer all guaranteed interest periods on all Contracts or in all states and the rates for a given guaranteed interest period may vary among Contracts. We set the interest rates periodically. We may credit a different interest rate for each guaranteed interest period. The interest you earn in the Fixed Account as well as your principal is guaranteed by VIAC, as long as you do not take your money out before the maturity date for the applicable guaranteed interest period. If you take your money out from a Fixed Interest Allocation more than 30 days before the applicable maturity date, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment could increase or decrease your Contract Value and/or the amount you take out. A surrender charge may also apply to withdrawals from your Contract.
For Contracts sold in some states, not all Fixed Interest Allocations are available. You have a right to return your Contract for a refund as described in the Contract prospectus.
The Fixed Account
You may allocate premium payments and transfer your Contract Value to the guaranteed interest periods of the Fixed Account during the accumulation period as described in the Contract prospectus. Every time you allocate money to the Fixed Account, we set up a Fixed Interest Allocation for the guaranteed interest period you select. We will credit your Fixed Interest Allocation with a guaranteed interest rate for the guaranteed interest period you select, so long as you do not withdraw money from that Fixed Interest Allocation before the end of the guaranteed interest period. Each guaranteed interest period ends on its maturity date which is the last day of the month in which the guaranteed interest period is scheduled to expire.
Your Contract Value in the Fixed Account is the sum of your Fixed Interest Allocations and the interest credited as adjusted for any withdrawals, transfers or other charges we may impose, including any Market Value Adjustment. Your Fixed Interest Allocation will be credited with the guaranteed interest rate in effect for the guaranteed interest period you selected when we receive and accept your premium or reallocation of Contract Value. We will credit interest daily at a rate that yields the quoted guaranteed interest rate.
If you surrender, withdraw, transfer or annuitize your investment in a Fixed Interest Allocation more than 30 days before the end of the guaranteed interest period, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment to the transaction. A Market Value Adjustment could increase or decrease the amount you surrender, withdraw, transfer or annuitize, depending on current interest rates at the time of the transaction.
Guaranteed Interest Rates
Each Fixed Interest Allocation will have an interest rate that is guaranteed as long as you do not take your money out until its maturity date. We do not have a specific formula for establishing the guaranteed interest rates for the different guaranteed interest periods. We determine guaranteed interest rates at our sole discretion. We cannot predict the level of future interest rates.
Transfers from a Fixed Interest Allocation
You may transfer your Contract Value in a Fixed Interest Allocation to one or more new Fixed Interest Allocations with new guaranteed interest periods or to any of the subaccounts of Separate Account B as described in the Contract prospectus on the maturity date of a guaranteed interest period. The minimum amount that you can transfer to or from any Fixed Interest Allocation is $100. Transfers from a Fixed Interest Allocation may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. If you have a special Fixed Interest Allocation that was offered exclusively with our dollar cost averaging program, canceling dollar cost averaging will cause a transfer of the entire Contract Value in such Fixed Interest Allocation to the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio, and such a transfer will be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.
Please be aware that the benefit we pay under certain optional benefit riders will be adjusted by any transfers you make to and from the Fixed Interest Allocations during specified periods while the rider is in effect.


C-1


Withdrawals from a Fixed Interest Allocation
During the accumulation phase, you may withdraw a portion of your Contract Value in any Fixed Interest Allocation. You may make systematic withdrawals of only the interest earned during the prior month, quarter or year, depending on the frequency chosen, from a Fixed Interest Allocation under our systematic withdrawal option. A withdrawal from a Fixed Interest Allocation may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment and a Contract surrender charge. Be aware that withdrawals may have federal income tax consequences, including a 10% penalty tax, as well as state income tax consequences.
Please be aware that the benefit we pay under any of the optional benefit riders will be reduced by any withdrawals you made from the Fixed Interest Allocations during the period while the rider is in effect.
Market Value Adjustment
A Market Value Adjustment may decrease, increase or have no effect on your Contract Value. We will apply a Market Value Adjustment: (1) whenever you withdraw or transfer money from a Fixed Interest Allocation (unless made within 30 days before the maturity date of the applicable guaranteed interest period, or under the systematic withdrawal or dollar cost averaging program); and (2) if on the Annuity Start Date a guaranteed interest period for any Fixed Interest Allocation does not end on or within 30 days of the Annuity Start Date.
A Market Value Adjustment may be positive, negative or result in no change. In general, if interest rates are rising, you bear the risk that any Market Value Adjustment will likely be negative and reduce your Contract Value. On the other hand, if interest rates are falling, it is more likely that you will receive a positive Market Value Adjustment that increases your Contract Value. In the event of a full surrender, transfer or annuitization from a Fixed Interest Allocation, we will add or subtract any Market Value Adjustment from the amount surrendered, transferred or annuitized. In the event of a partial withdrawal, transfer or annuitization, we will add or subtract any Market Value Adjustment from the total amount withdrawn, transferred or annuitized (hereinafter referred to as a “Withdrawal”) in order to provide the amount requested.
Effective February 13, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), your Contract was endorsed or otherwise amended to limit any negative Market Value Adjustment that we may apply to a Withdrawal from the Fixed Account. More specifically, on and after the Effective Date, we will limit future negative Market Value Adjustments that we may apply to any Withdrawals from the Fixed Account so that any such Market Value Adjustments will not cause your applicable Fixed Account value to be less than the following “Floor Guarantee”:
 
100% of premiums or other amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, accumulated while so allocated with interest at an effective annual rate equal to the greater of (i) any guaranteed minimum interest rate (“GMIR”) applicable to the Fixed Account and (ii) 1.5%; minus
 
The amount of any Withdrawals from the Fixed Account (before applying any positive or negative Market Value Adjustments); minus
 
Any applicable surrender charges.
If your Fixed Account value after application of any Market Value Adjustment or upon any Withdrawal not subject to a Market Value Adjustment is less than the Floor Guarantee, then we will reset your applicable Fixed Account value to equal the amount of your Floor Guarantee.
In applying any Market Value Adjustment, each Fixed Interest Allocation will be considered separately – i.e., amounts allocated to the Fixed Account at different points in time, and earning different rates for different guaranteed interest periods, will be considered separately. The Floor Guarantee has no impact on any positive Market Value Adjustments that may apply to a Withdrawal from a Fixed Interest Allocation.
Additionally, on the Effective Date the GMIR for the Fixed Account is increased to 1.5% if prior to the Effective Date the applicable GMIR was less than 1.5%.
As a result of the above-referenced endorsement or amendment to the Contract, on and after the Effective Date interests in the Fixed Account are no longer securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933.








C-2


Contract Value in the Fixed Interest Allocations
On the Contract Date, the Contract Value in any Fixed Interest Allocation in which you are invested is equal to the portion of the initial premium paid and designated for allocation to the Fixed Interest Allocation. On each business day after the Contract Date, we calculate the amount of Contract Value in each Fixed Interest Allocation as follows:
 
(1)
We take the Contract Value in the Fixed Interest Allocation at the end of the preceding business day;
 
(2)
We credit a daily rate of interest on (1) at the guaranteed rate since the preceding business day;
 
(3)
We add (1) and (2);
 
(4)
We subtract from (3) any transfers from that Fixed Interest Allocation; and
 
(5)
We subtract from (4) any withdrawals, and then subtract any Contract fees (including any rider charges) and premium taxes.
Additional premium payments and transfers allocated to the Fixed Account will be placed in a new Fixed Interest Allocation. The Contract Value on the date of allocation will be the amount allocated. Several examples which illustrate how the Market Value Adjustment works, including the Floor Guarantee, are included below at the end of this Appendix.
Cash Surrender Value
The Cash Surrender Value is the amount you receive when you surrender the Contract. The Cash Surrender Value of amounts allocated to the Fixed Account will fluctuate daily based on the interest credited to Fixed Interest Allocations, any Market Value Adjustment and any surrender charge. We guarantee the Cash Surrender Value of amounts allocated to the Fixed Account will never be less than the Floor Guarantee. On any date during the accumulation phase, we calculate the Cash Surrender Value as follows: we start with your Contract Value, then we adjust for any Market Value Adjustment, and then we deduct any surrender charge, any charge for premium taxes, the annual Contract administrative fee (unless waived), and any optional benefit rider charge, and any other charges incurred but not yet deducted.
Dollar Cost Averaging from Fixed Interest Allocations
You may elect to participate in our dollar cost averaging program from a Fixed Account Interest Allocation with a guaranteed interest period of one year or less. The Fixed Interest Allocations serve as the source accounts from which we will, on a monthly basis, automatically transfer a set dollar amount of money to other Fixed Interest Allocations or fund subaccounts selected by you.
The dollar cost averaging program is designed to lessen the impact of market fluctuation on your investment. Since we transfer the same dollar amount to subaccounts each month, more units of a subaccount are purchased if the value of its unit is low and fewer units are purchased if the value of its unit is high. Therefore, a lower than average value per unit may be achieved over the long term. However, we cannot guarantee this. When you elect the dollar cost averaging program, you are continuously investing in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels. You should consider your tolerance for investing through periods of fluctuating price levels.
You elect the dollar amount you want transferred under this program. Each monthly transfer must be at least $100. You may change the transfer amount once each Contract Year.
Transfers from a Fixed Interest Allocation under the dollar cost averaging program are not subject to a Market Value Adjustment.
We may in the future offer additional subaccounts or withdraw any subaccount or Fixed Interest Allocation to or from the dollar cost averaging program or otherwise modify, suspend or terminate this program. Of course, such change will not affect any dollar cost averaging programs in operation at the time.
Suspension of Payments
We have the right to delay payment of amounts from a Fixed Interest Allocation for up to six months.

Market Value Adjustment Examples with Application of the Floor Guarantee
The following examples show the application of the Floor Guarantee in relation to any negative MVA on Withdrawals from the Fixed Account.
Examples #1 and #2 use the following assumptions:
 
On May 15, 2000, $200,000 is invested in the Fixed Account with a guaranteed interest period of 10 years;
 
On the Maturity Date, the full amount invested in the Fixed Account is renewed into another 10 year guaranteed interest period;
 
A Withdrawal request is made on March 30, 2018, when the Fixed Account value is $350,000;
 
No prior Withdrawals affecting the Fixed Account have been taken;
 
A 3% GMIR applies to the Fixed Account under the Contract ;
 
A 10% negative MVA would normally apply to full Withdrawal absent the Floor Guarantee; and
 
Any applicable surrender charges are not applied.
Example #1: Full Withdrawal with a negative MVA limited by the Floor Guarantee
Step 1: Calculate the Fixed Account value after the MVA (without the Floor Guarantee).
In this example, the Fixed Account value ($350,000) after application of the -10% MVA (-$35,000) equals $315,000.
Step 2: Calculate the Floor Guarantee.
The Floor Guarantee is calculated by accruing the $200,000 invested in the Fixed Account with 3% interest annually (because the GMIR under the Contract is more than 1.5%). The Floor Guarantee on the date of the Withdrawal as a result of this calculation equals $339,330.
Step 3: Compare the result from Step 1 (the Fixed Account value after the MVA) to the result from Step 2 (the Floor Guarantee).
The amount paid will be the greater of (i) the calculated Fixed Account value after application of the MVA and (ii) the Floor Guarantee. Consequently, in this example the amount paid as a result of the full Withdrawal request is the Floor Guarantee amount of $339,330. The Floor Guarantee limits the amount of the MVA actually assessed, which is effectively -3.05% (the “Effective MVA”) instead of the normal -10%.
The Effective MVA may limit the MVA calculated under the Contract to ensure that upon full Withdrawal the net proceeds do not fall below the Floor Guarantee. The Effective MVA is calculated as follows [Floor Guarantee ÷ Fixed Account value]-1. Therefore, in this example the Effective MVA calculation is [$339,330 ÷ $350,000] – 1 = -3.05%.
Example #2: $100,000 Partial Withdrawal with a negative MVA limited by the Floor Guarantee
Step 1: Calculate the Effective MVA as if a full Withdrawal were being taken (see Example #1).
In this example, the Fixed Account value ($350,000) after application of the -10% MVA (-$35,000) equals $315,000.
The Floor Guarantee is calculated by accruing the $200,000 invested in the Fixed Account with 3% interest annually (because the GMIR under the Contract is more than 1.5%). As a result of this calculation, the Floor Guarantee on the date of the Withdrawal equals $339,330.
Because the Floor Guarantee ($339,330) exceeds the Fixed Account value after application of the negative MVA, but does not exceed the total Fixed Account value immediately prior to the Withdrawal, the Fixed Account value ($350,000) is adjusted to equal the amount of the Floor Guarantee. In this example, the Fixed Account value is reduced by -3.05%, which is the Effective MVA actually assessed instead of the normal -10%.
Step 2: Apply the Effective MVA to the amount withdrawn as a consequence of the partial Withdrawal request.
A partial Withdrawal request for $100,000 will result in a reduction of the Fixed Account value equal to the amount requested plus the amount needed to cover the Effective MVA of -3.05%. The total amount withdrawn is calculated as we normally do, except that the Effective MVA percentage is used: [Withdrawal amount requested] ÷ [1 + (Effective MVA%)]. Therefore, in this example the total amount withdrawn is: [$100,000] ÷ [1 + (-3.05%)] = $103,145.
Step 3: Calculate the new Fixed Account value after the partial Withdrawal and the Effective MVA.
In this example, the Fixed Account value ($350,000) after the $100,000 partial Withdrawal and application of the -3.05% Effective MVA (-$3,145) equals $246,855.

Step 4: Calculate the new Floor Guarantee after the partial Withdrawal.
The Floor Guarantee is calculated by accruing the $200,000 invested in the Fixed Account with 3% interest annually (because the GMIR under the Contract is more than 1.5%). The Floor Guarantee immediately prior to the Withdrawal as a result of this calculation equals $339,330. This amount is reduced by the $100,000 partial Withdrawal (without taking into account the negative Effective MVA), and the Floor Guarantee after the partial Withdrawal equals $239,330.
Example #3 uses the following assumptions:
 
On May 15, 2000, $200,000 is invested in the Fixed Account with a guaranteed interest period of 10 years;
 
On the Maturity Date, a partial Withdrawal of $90,000 is taken
 
The full amount invested in the Fixed Account less the aforementioned $90,000 Withdrawal is renewed into another 10 year guaranteed interest period;
 
A $100,000 partial Withdrawal request is made on March 30, 2018, when the Fixed Account value is $150,000;
 
A 0% GMIR applies to the Fixed Account under the Contract ;
 
A 10% negative MVA would normally apply to full Withdrawal absent the Floor Guarantee; and
 
Any applicable surrender charges are not applied.
Example #3: Partial Withdrawal with a negative MVA limited by the Floor Guarantee
Step 1: Calculate the Effective MVA as if a full Withdrawal were being taken.
In this example, the Fixed Account value on the date of the second Withdrawal ($150,000) after application of the -10% MVA (-$15,000) equals $135,000.
The Floor Guarantee is calculated by accruing the $200,000 invested in the Fixed Account with 1.5% interest annually (because the GMIR under the Contract is less than 1.5%). On May 15, 2010, the Floor Guarantee is equal to $232,127. On this date, $90,000 is withdrawn and the new Floor Guarantee is $142,127, which will continue to accrue 1.5% interest annually. As a result of this calculation, the Floor Guarantee on the date of the second Withdrawal equals $159,818.
Because the Floor Guarantee ($159,818) exceeds the Fixed Account value after application of the negative MVA and also exceeds the Fixed Account value immediately prior to the Withdrawal, the Fixed Account value is reset to equal the amount of the Floor Guarantee (here, $159,818). Because the Floor Guarantee and Fixed Account value are equal, the Effective MVA actually assessed is 0% instead of the normal -10%.
Step 2: Apply the Effective MVA to the amount withdrawn as a consequence of the partial Withdrawal request.
A partial Withdrawal request for $100,000 will result in a reduction of the Fixed Account value equal to the amount requested ($100,000). No negative MVA is assessed because the Effective MVA is 0%.
Step 3: Calculate the new Fixed Account value after the partial Withdrawal and the Effective MVA.
In this example, the Fixed Account value ($159,818) after the $100,000 partial Withdrawal equals $59,818.
Step 4: Calculate the new Floor Guarantee after the partial Withdrawal.
Based on the calculation above, the Floor Guarantee immediately prior to the Withdrawal equals $159,818. When this amount is reduced by the $100,000 partial Withdrawal, the Floor Guarantee is the same as the Fixed Account value after the partial Withdrawal and application of the 0% Effective MVA, $59,818.

APPENDIX D
Surrender Charge for Excess Withdrawals Example
This example assumes the following:
 
You made an initial premium payment of $10,000;
 
You choose the standard surrender charge schedule;
 
You made additional premium payments of $10,000 in each of the second and third Contract Years (for total premium payments under the Contract of $30,000); and
 
You make a withdrawal at the beginning of the fifth Contract Year of 15% of the Contract Value, which is then $35,000.
(This example does not reflect the Premium Credits that we would otherwise add to your Contract Value based on these premium payments), In this example, $3,500 ($35,000 x .10) is the maximum Free Withdrawal Amount that you may withdraw at the beginning of the fifth Contract Year without a surrender charge. The total withdrawal would be $5,250 ($35,000 x .15).
Therefore, $1,750 ($5,250 – $3,500) is considered an excess withdrawal of a part of the initial premium payment of $10,000 and would be subject to a 4% surrender charge of $70 ($1,750 x .04). This example does not take into account any Market Value Adjustment or deduction of any premium taxes.

APPENDIX G
LifePay Plus and Joint LifePay Plus Partial Withdrawal Amount Examples
The following example shows the adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has begun.
Illustration 1: Adjustment to the LifePay Plus Base for a withdrawal taken prior to the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase.
Assume the Annuitant is age 55 and the first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges. Because the LifePay Plus Rider is not yet eligible to enter the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, there is no Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the entire withdrawal is considered excess.
If the LifePay Plus Base and Contract Value before the withdrawal are $100,000 and $90,000, respectively, then the LifePay Plus Base will reduce by 3.33% ($3,000 / $90,000) to $96,667 ((1 - 3.33%) * $100,000).
Any additional withdrawals taken prior to the Annuitant reaching age 59½ will also result in an immediate proportional reduction to the LifePay Plus Base.
The following are examples of adjustments to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal:
Illustration 2: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. However, because only $4,500 in gross withdrawals was taken during the Contract Year prior to this withdrawal, $500 of the $1,500 gross withdrawal is not considered excess.
Total gross withdrawals during the Contract Year are $6,000 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $1,500). The adjustment is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000, and the amount of the current gross withdrawal, $1,500.
If the Contract Value before this withdrawal is $50,000, and the Contract Value is $49,500 after the part of the gross withdrawal that was within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $500, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 2.02% ($1,000 / $49,500) to $4,899 ((1 - 2.02%) * $5,000).
Illustration 3: A withdrawal exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount but does not exceed the Additional Withdrawal Amount.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. The Required Minimum Distribution for the current calendar year applicable to this Contract is determined to be $6,000. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of this amount above the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000).
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.



G-1


The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. Total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, however, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not adjusted until the Additional Withdrawal Amount is exhausted. The amount by which total net withdrawals taken exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000), is the same as the Additional Withdrawal Amount, so no adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is made. If total net withdrawals taken had exceeded the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount, then an adjustment would be made to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Illustration 4: The Additional Withdrawal Amount at the end of the calendar year before it is withdrawn.
Assume the most recent Contract Date was July 1, 2007 and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. Also assume RMDs, applicable to this Contract, are $6,000 and $5,000 for 2008 and 2009 calendar years respectively.
Between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, a withdrawal of $5,000 is taken which exhausts the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
On January 1, 2008, the Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of the 2008 RMD above the existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000). Note that while the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exhausted, it is still used to calculate the Additional Withdrawal Amount.
The owner now has until December 31, 2009 to take the newly calculated Additional Withdrawal Amount of $1,000. The owner decides not to take the Additional Withdrawal Amount of $1,000 in 2008.
On January 1, 2009, the Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of the 2009 RMD above the existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $0 ($5,000 - $5,000). Note that the Additional Withdrawal Amount of $1,000 from the 2008 calendar year carries over into the 2009 calendar year and is available for withdrawal.
Illustration 5: A withdrawal exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount and the Additional Withdrawal Amount.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. The Required Minimum Distribution for the current calendar year applicable to this Contract is determined to be $6,000. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of this amount above the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000).
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. Total net withdrawals taken, $8,000, exceed the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount, $6,000, and there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Total gross withdrawals during the Contract Year are $8,000 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $3,500). The adjustment is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount ($8,000 - $6,000 = $2,000), and the amount of the current gross withdrawal ($3,500).
If the Contract Value before this withdrawal is $50,000, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 4.12% ($2,000 / ($50,000 - $1,500)) to $4,794 ((1 - 4.12%) * $5,000).
Illustration 6: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.



G-2


The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. However, because only $4,500 in gross withdrawals was taken during the Contract Year prior to this withdrawal, $500 of the $1,500 gross withdrawal is not considered excess.
Total gross withdrawals during the Contract Year are $6,000 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $1,500). The adjustment is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000, and the amount of the current gross withdrawal, $1,500.
If the Contract Value after the part of the gross withdrawal that was within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $500, is $49,500, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 2.02% ($1,000 / $49,500) to $4,899 ((1 - 2.02%) * $5,000).
Another withdrawal is taken during that same Contract Year in the amount of $400 net, with $100 of surrender charges. Total gross withdrawals during the Contract Year are $6,500 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $1,500 + $500). The adjustment to the MAW is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,500, and the amount of the current gross withdrawal, $500.
If the Contract Value before this withdrawal is $48,500, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 1.03% ($500 / $48,500) to $4,849 ((1 – 1.03%) * $4,899).

APPENDIX H
Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing
The following examples are designed to assist you in understanding how Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing works. The examples assume that there are no investment earnings or losses.
 
I.
Subsequent Payments
 
A
Assume that on Day 1, an owner deposits an initial payment of $100,000, which is allocated 100% to Accepted Funds. No Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing would occur, because this allocation meets the required investment option allocation.
 
B
Assume that on Day 2, the owner deposits an additional payment of $500,000, bringing the total Contract Value to $600,000, and allocates this deposit 100% to Other Funds. Because the percentage allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds (0%) is less than 30% of the total amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and the Other Funds, we will automatically reallocate $150,000 from the amount allocated to the Other Funds (30% of the $500,000 allocated to the Other Funds) to the Fixed Allocation Funds. Your ending allocations will be $100,000 to Accepted Funds, $150,000 to the Fixed Allocation Funds, and $350,000 to Other Funds.
 
II.
Partial Withdrawals
 
A
Assume that on Day 1, an owner deposits an initial payment of $100,000, which is allocated 65% to Accepted Funds ($65,000), 30% to the Fixed Allocation Funds ($30,000), and 5% to Other Funds ($5,000). No Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing would occur, because this allocation meets the required investment option allocation.
 
B
Assume that on Day 2, the owner requests a partial withdrawal of $29,000 from the Fixed Allocation Funds. Because the remaining amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds ($1,000) is less than 30% of the total amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and the Other Funds, we will automatically reallocate $800 from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds, so that the amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds ($1,800) is 30% of the total amount allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds ($6,000).





























H-1



APPENDIX I
LifePay Plus and Joint LifePay Plus
 
Important Note:
The information immediately below pertains to the form of the LifePay Plus and Joint LifePay Plus riders available for sale on and after April 28, 2008 through May 1, 2009 in states where approved (page I-8 for the Joint LifePay Plus rider). If this form of the LifePay Plus or Joint LifePay Plus rider is not yet approved for sale in your state, or if you purchased a prior version, please see page I-15 for more information (page I-22 for the Joint LifePay Plus rider).
LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“LifePay Plus”) Rider. The LifePay Plus rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of the Annuitant, even if these withdrawals reduce your Contract Value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are concerned that you may outlive your income.
Eligibility. The Annuitant must be the owner or one of the owners, unless the owner is a non-natural owner. Joint Annuitants are not allowed. The maximum issue age is 80 (owner and Annuitant must age qualify). The issue age is the age of the owner (or the Annuitant if there are joint owners or the owner is non-natural) on the rider effective date. The LifePay Plus rider is subject to broker/dealer availability. Please note that the LifePay Plus rider will not be issued until your Contract Value is allocated in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,” below.
Contracts issued on and after September 12, 2006, are eligible for the LifePay Plus rider, subject to the conditions, requirements and limitations of the prior paragraph. Such Contracts must not already have a living benefit rider. Or if your Contract already has the LifePay or LifePay Plus rider, then you may be eligible to elect this version of the LifePay Plus rider for a limited time. There is an election form for this purpose. Please contact Customer Service for more information.
Rider Effective Date. The rider effective date is the date that coverage under the LifePay Plus rider begins. If you purchase the LifePay Plus rider when the Contract is issued, the rider effective date is also the Contract Date. If the LifePay Plus rider is added after Contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. A quarterly Contract anniversary occurs once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date.
Charge. The charge for the LifePay Plus rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly from your Contract Value:
Maximum Annual Charge
Current Annual Charge
1.30%
0.85%
This quarterly charge is a percentage of the LifePay Plus Base. The current annual charge is 0.75% if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009. We deduct the charge in arrears based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter following the rider effective date. If the rider is elected at Contract issue, the rider effective date is the same as the Contract Date. If the rider is added after Contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. A quarterly Contract anniversary occurs once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date. The charge will be assessed proportionately when the rider is terminated. Charges will no longer be deducted once your rider enters the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs when your Contract Value is reduced to zero and other conditions are met. We reserve the right to increase the charge for the LifePay Plus rider upon the Annual Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins. Before January 12, 2009, we reserve the right to increase the charge for the LifePay Plus rider upon a Quarterly Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins. You will never pay more than new issues of this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. We promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. For more information about how this rider works, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“LifePay Plus”) Rider.”
If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. But currently, a Market Value Adjustment would not apply when this charge is deducted from a Fixed Interest Allocation. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C.




I-1


No Cancellation. Once you purchase the LifePay Plus rider, you may not cancel it unless you: (1) cancel the Contract during the Contract’s free look period; (2) surrender the Contract; (3) begin the income phase and start receiving annuity payments; or (4) otherwise terminate the Contract pursuant to its terms. These events automatically cancel the LifePay Plus rider.
Termination. The LifePay Plus rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefits offered are intended to be available to you while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you: terminate your Contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender your Contract, or begin receiving income phase payments in lieu of payments under the LifePay Plus rider; or die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract Owners, or death of Annuitant if the Contract Owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract. The LifePay Plus rider also terminates with a change in Contract ownership (other than a spousal beneficiary continuation on your death). Other circumstances that may cause the LifePay Plus rider to terminate automatically are discussed below.
Highlights. This paragraph introduces the terminology of the LifePay Plus rider and how its components generally work together. Benefits and guarantees are subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the LifePay Plus rider. More detailed information follows below, with the capitalized words that are underlined indicating headings for ease of reference. The LifePay Plus rider guarantees an amount available for withdrawal from the Contract in any Contract Year once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins – we use the LifePay Plus Base as part of the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The guarantee continues when the LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, at which time we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (since Contract Value would be zero) until the Annuitant’s death. The LifePay Plus Base is eligible for Annual Ratchets and 6% Compounding Step-Ups (Quarterly Ratchets and 7% Compounding Step-Ups if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009), and subject to adjustment for any Excess Withdrawals. The LifePay Plus rider has an allowance for withdrawals from a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code that would otherwise be Excess Withdrawals. The LifePay Plus rider has a death benefit that is payable upon the owner’s death only when the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than the Contract’s death benefit. The LifePay Plus rider allows for spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code.
LifePay Plus Base. The LifePay Plus Base is first calculated when you purchase the LifePay Plus rider: on the Contract Date – equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or after the Contract Date – equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
The LifePay Plus Base is increased, dollar for dollar, by any subsequent premiums (excluding any applicable Premium Credits). We refer to the LifePay Plus Base as the MGWB Base in the LifePay Plus rider.
Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals. Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, withdrawals within a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including for payment of third-party investment advisory fees, have no impact on the LifePay Plus Base. These withdrawals will not incur surrender charges, a negative Market Value Adjustment associated with any Fixed Interest Allocations or any Premium Credit deduction (recapture).
Say, for example, the current Contract Value is $90,000 on a Contract with the LifePay Plus rider in the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase. The LifePay Plus Base is $100,000, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. Even though a withdrawal of $5,000 would reduce the Contract Value to $85,000, the LifePay Plus Base would remain at its current level (as would the Maximum Annual Withdrawal as well) since the withdrawal did not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. See below for more information about the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
An Excess Withdrawal is a withdrawal either before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins (except for payment of third-party investment advisory fees), or once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, any portion of a withdrawal during a Contract Year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. An Excess Withdrawal is also a withdrawal after spousal continuation of the Contract but before the LifePay Plus rider’s guarantees resume, which occurs on the next quarterly Contract anniversary following spousal continuation. An Excess Withdrawal will cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base – in the same proportion as Contract Value is reduced by the portion of the withdrawal that is considered excess, inclusive of surrender charges, or Market Value Adjustment associated with any Fixed Interest Allocations or any Premium Credit deduction (recapture) (rather than the total amount of the withdrawal). An Excess Withdrawal will also cause the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be recalculated. See APPENDIX G, Illustrations 1, 2 and 6 for examples of the consequences of an Excess Withdrawal.
Please note that any withdrawals before the rider effective date in the same Contract Year when the LifePay Plus rider is added after Contract issue are counted in summing up your withdrawals in that Contract Year to determine whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded.

I-2


Annual Ratchet. The LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each Contract anniversary to equal the greater of: the current LifePay Plus Base; or the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). We call this recalculation the Annual Ratchet.
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each quarterly Contract anniversary (once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date). We call this recalculation a Quarterly Ratchet.
Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, we reserve the right to increase the charge for the LifePay Plus rider upon a the Annual Ratchet. You will never pay more than new issues of the LifePay Plus rider, subject to the maximum annual charge, and we promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. We will notify you in writing not less than 30 days before a charge increase. You may avoid the charge increase by canceling the forthcoming Annual Ratchet. Our written notice will outline the procedure you will need to follow to do so. Please note, however, from then on the LifePay Plus Base would no longer be eligible for any Annual Ratchets, so the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage would not be eligible to increase. More information about the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages is below under “Maximum Annual Withdrawal.” Our written notice will also remind you of the consequences of canceling the forthcoming Annual Ratchet.
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, we reserve the right to increase the charge for this rider upon a Quarterly Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins. You will never pay more than new issues of the rider, subject to the maximum annual charge, and we promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. Canceling a forthcoming Quarterly Ratchet to avoid the charge increase will have the same outcome.
6% Compounding Step-Up. The LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each of the first ten Contract anniversaries after the rider effective date, SO LONG AS you took no withdrawals during the preceding Contract Year – to equal the greatest of: the current LifePay Plus Base; the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months); and the LifePay Plus Base on the previous Contract anniversary, increased by 6%, plus any premiums received (excluding any applicable Premium Credits) and minus any withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees since the previous Contract anniversary. We call this recalculation a 6% Compounding Step-Up.
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, the step-up is 7%, which we call a 7% Compounding Step-Up.
Please note that there are no partial 6%Compounding Step-Ups. The 6%Compounding Step-Up is not assessed proportionately. So for existing Contracts to which this rider is attached (a post Contract issuance election), the first opportunity for a 6%Compounding Step-Up will not be until the first Contract anniversary after a full Contract Year has elapsed since the rider effective date.
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, the step-up is 7%, which we call a 7% Compounding Step-Up. The 7% Compounding Step-Up is not assessed proportionately.
Say, for example, that with a Contract purchased on January 1, 2007, the Contract Owner decides to add the LifePay Plus rider on March 15, 2007. The rider effective date is April 1, 2007, which is the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. Because on January 1, 2008 a full Contract Year will not have elapsed since the rider effective date, the LifePay Plus Base will not be eligible for a Step-up. Rather, the first opportunity for a step-up with this Contract is on January 1, 2009.
Lifetime Withdrawal Phase. The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins on the date of your first withdrawal (except those for payment of third-party investment advisory fees), SO LONG AS the Annuitant is age 59½. On this date, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the greater of the current LifePay Base or the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase will continue until the earliest of:
 
The date annuity payments begin (see “THE ANNUITY OPTIONS”);
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by an Excess Withdrawal;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
Surrender of the Contract; or
 
The death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; Annuitant, in the case of a non-natural person owner), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
The LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero other than by an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” below for more information.
Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is the amount that the LifePay Plus rider guarantees to be available for withdrawal from the Contract in any Contract Year. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated when the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins and equals the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the Annuitant’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base.


I-3


The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages are:
 Percentages
Ages
4%
5912 to 64
5%
65 to 75
6%
76 to 79
7%
80+
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages are:
 Percentages
Ages
5%
5912 to 69
6%
70 to 79
7%
80+
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is thereafter recalculated whenever the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated, for example, upon a the Annual Ratchet or 6% Compounding Step-Up (Quarterly Ratchets and 7% Compounding Step-Up if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009). Also, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage can increase with a the Annual Ratchet as the Annuitant grows older.
In the event on the date the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) is greater than the LifePay Plus Base, then before the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated, the LifePay Plus Base will be set equal to the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). The greater the LifePay Plus Base, the greater the amount guaranteed to be available to you for withdrawals under the LifePay Plus rider in calculating the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the first time. Also, if the Contract’s annuity commencement date is reached while the LifePay Plus rider is in the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, then you may elect a life only annuity option, in lieu of the Contract’s other annuity options, under which we will pay the greater of the annuity payout under the Contract and equal annual payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. For more information about the Contract’s annuity options, see “THE ANNUITY OPTIONS.”
Required Minimum Distributions. The LifePay Plus rider allows for withdrawals from a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal without causing a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base and recalculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. If your Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before December 31 of that year), applicable to this Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, then an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Once you have taken the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract Year, the dollar amount of any additional withdrawals will count first against and reduce any unused Additional Withdrawal Amount for the previous calendar year followed by any Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year – without constituting an Excess Withdrawal. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 3 for an example.
Withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and all available Additional Withdrawal Amounts are Excess Withdrawals that will cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be recalculated. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 5 for an example of the consequences of an Excess Withdrawal with an Additional Withdrawal Amount. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is available on a calendar year basis and recalculated every January, reset to equal that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date. Any unused amount of the Additional Withdrawal Amount carries over into the next calendar year and is available through the end of that year, at which time any amount remaining will expire. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 4 for an example of the Additional Withdrawal Amount being carried over. Please note that there is no adjustment to the Additional Withdrawal Amount for Annual Ratchets (Quarterly Ratchets if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009) or upon spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus Rider, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code.










I-4


Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status when your Contract Value is reduced to zero other than by an Excess Withdrawal. (A withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal that causes your Contract Value to be reduced to zero will terminate the LifePay Plus rider.).You will no longer be entitled to make withdrawals, but instead will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. When the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status: the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the LifePay Plus rider; no further premium payments will be accepted; and any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will cease upon the death of the Annuitant at which time both the rider and the Contract will terminate. The rider will remain in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status until it terminates without value upon the Annuitant’s death.
If when the LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status your net withdrawals to date are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that Contract Year, then we will pay you the difference immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the first Contract anniversary following the date the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.
In the event Contract Value is reduced to zero before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status is deferred until the Contract anniversary on or after the Annuitant is age 59½. During this time, the LifePay Plus rider’s death benefit remains payable upon the Annuitant’s death. Also, the LifePay Plus Base remains eligible for the 6% Compounding Step-Ups (7% Compounding Step-Ups if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009). Once the LifePay Plus rider enters the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, periodic payments will begin in an annual amount equal to the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the Annuitant’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base.
You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a systematic withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the Contract Value will be withdrawn from your Contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at the time the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made annually, then the payments will be made on each following Contract anniversary.
Investment Option Restrictions. While the LifePay Plus rider is in effect, there are limits on the portfolios to which your Contract Value may be allocated. Contract Value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least a specified percentage of such Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds, which percentage depends on the rider’s purchase date:
Rider Purchase Date
Fixed Allocation Fund Percentage
Currently
30%
Before January 12, 2009
25%
Before October 6, 2008
20%
See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below. We have these investment option restrictions to lessen the likelihood we would have to make payments under this rider. We require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to the Contract. The LifePay Plus rider will not be issued until your Contract Value is allocated in accordance with these investment option restrictions. The timing of when and how we apply these investment option restrictions is discussed further below.
Accepted Funds. The currently available Accepted Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. No rebalancing is necessary when Contract Value is allocated entirely to Accepted Funds. We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract Value allocated to such funds after the date of the change.
Fixed Allocation Funds. The currently available Fixed Allocation Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
Other Funds. All portfolios available under the Contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.



I-5


Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is less than the specified percentage noted above of the total Contract Value allocated among the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any LifePay Plus Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that the specified percentage of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. The specified percentage depends on the rider’s purchase date. Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done proportionally from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds and will be the last transaction processed on that date. The LifePay Plus Rebalancing Dates occur on each Contract anniversary and after the following transactions:
Receipt of additional premiums;
Transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
Withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.” You will be notified that Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred, along with your new allocations, by a confirmation statement that will be mailed to you after Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred.
In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in it. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the LifePay Plus rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the LifePay Plus rider if you do not wish to have your Contract Value reallocated in this manner.
Death of Owner or Annuitant. The LifePay Plus rider terminates (with the rider’s charges assessed proportionately) on the date of death of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner), or the Annuitant if there is a non-natural owner. Also, a LifePay Plus rider that is in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status terminates on the date of the Annuitant’s death.
LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base. The LifePay Plus rider has a death benefit that is payable upon the owner’s death only when the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than the Contract’s death benefit. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is first calculated when you purchase the LifePay Plus rider: on the Contract Date – equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or after the Contract Date – equal to the Contract Value on the rider effective date (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is increased by the dollar amount of any subsequent premiums (excluding any applicable Premium Credits) and subject to any withdrawal adjustments. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is reduced by the dollar amount of any withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, and for any withdrawals once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins that are not Excess Withdrawals, including withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is subject to a proportional reduction for an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “LifePay Plus Base – Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals” above for more information.
There is no additional charge for the death benefit associated with the LifePay Plus rider. Please note that the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is not eligible to participate in Annual Ratchets or 6% Compounding Step-Ups (Quarterly Ratchets and 7% Compounding Step-Ups if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009).
In the event the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than zero when the LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, each periodic payment reduces the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base dollar for dollar until the earlier date of the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base being reduced to zero or the Annuitant’s death. Upon the Annuitant’s death, any remaining LifePay Plus death benefit is payable to the beneficiary in a lump sum.










I-6


Spousal Continuation. If the surviving spouse of the deceased owner continues the Contract, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code (see “DEATH BENEFIT CHOICES – Continuation After Death – Spouse”), the rider will also continue, provided the spouse becomes the Annuitant and sole owner. At the time the Contract is continued, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied after the deceased owner’s death), inclusive of the guaranteed death benefit – UNLESS the continuing spouse is a joint owner and the original Annuitant, OR the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has not yet begun. In this case, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the greater of: the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied after the deceased owner’s death), inclusive of the guaranteed death benefit; and the last calculated LifePay Plus Base, subject to proportional adjustment for any withdrawals before spousal continuation. Regardless, the LifePay Plus rider’s guarantees resume on the next quarterly Contract anniversary following spousal continuation. Any withdrawals after spousal continuation of the Contract but before the LifePay Plus rider’s guarantees resume are Excess Withdrawals. The LifePay Plus rider remains eligible for the Annual Ratchet upon recalculation of the LifePay Plus Base (Quarterly Ratchets if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009).
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is also recalculated at the same time as the LifePay Plus Base; however, there is no Maximum Annual Withdrawal upon spousal continuation until the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins on the date of the first withdrawal after spousal continuation, SO LONG AS the Annuitant is age 59½. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated to equal the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the new Annuitant’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base. There is no adjustment to the Additional Withdrawal Amount upon spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider for a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code. Any withdrawals before the owner’s death and spousal continuation are counted in summing up your withdrawals in that Contract Year to determine whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded.
Please note, if the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) is greater than the LifePay Plus Base on the date the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, then the LifePay Plus Base will be set equal to the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) before the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated. Also, upon spousal continuation, the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base equals the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base before the owner’s death, subject to any proportional adjustment for any withdrawals before spousal continuation of the rider.
Contrary to the Joint LifePay Plus rider, spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider would likely NOT take effect at the same time as the Contract is continued. As noted above, the LifePay Plus rider provides for spousal continuation only on a quarterly Contract anniversary (subject to the spouse becoming the Annuitant and sole owner). So if you are concerned about the availability of benefits being interrupted with spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider, you might instead want to purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider.
Change of Owner or Annuitant. The LifePay Plus rider terminates (with the rider’s charge assessed proportionately) upon any ownership change or change of Annuitant, except for:
 
Spousal continuation as described above;
 
Change of owner from one custodian to another custodian;
 
Change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual;
 
Change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
 
Collateral assignments;
 
Change in trust as owner where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual;
 
Change of owner from an individual to a trust where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual;
 
Change of owner from a trust to an individual where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual; and
 
Change of owner pursuant to a court order.
Surrender Charges. Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, your withdrawals within a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (and any applicable Additional Withdrawal Amount) are not subject to surrender charges. We waive any surrender charges otherwise applicable to your withdrawal in a Contract Year that is less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Excess Withdrawals are subject to surrender charges, whether or not the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has begun. Once your Contract Value is reduced to zero, any periodic payments under the LifePay Plus rider would not be subject to surrender charges. Moreover, with no Contract Value, none of your Contract level recurring charges (e.g., the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge) would be deducted.
Loans. No loans are permitted on Contracts with the LifePay Plus rider.
Taxation. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the LifePay Plus Rider, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits.”

Important Note:
The below information pertains to the form of the Joint LifePay Plus rider available for sale beginning on and after April 28, 2008 through May 1, 2009, in states where approved. If this form of the Joint LifePay Plus rider is not yet approved for sale in your state, or if you purchased a prior version, please see page I-22.
Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider. The Joint LifePay Plus rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of both you and your spouse, even if these withdrawals reduce your Contract Value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are married and concerned that you and your spouse may outlive your income.
Eligibility. The Joint LifePay Plus rider is only available for purchase by individuals who are married at the time of purchase (spouses) and eligible to elect spousal continuation (as defined by the Tax Code) of the Contract when the death benefit becomes payable, subject to the owner, Annuitant and beneficiary requirements below. The maximum issue age is 80. Both spouses must meet the issue age requirement. The issue age is the age of each owner on the rider effective date. The Joint LifePay Plus rider is subject to broker/dealer availability. Please note that the Joint LifePay Plus rider will not be issued unless the required owner, Annuitant and beneficiary designations are met, and until your Contract Value is allocated in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,” below.
Contracts issued on and after September 12, 2006, are eligible for the Joint LifePay Plus rider, subject to the conditions, requirements and limitations of the prior paragraph. Such Contracts must not already have a living benefit rider. Or if your Contract already has the Joint LifePay or Joint LifePay Plus rider, then you may be eligible to elect this version of the Joint LifePay Plus rider for a limited time. There is an election form for this purpose. Please contact Customer Service for more information.
Owner, Annuitant and Beneficiary Designations. For nonqualified Contracts: joint owners must be spouses, and one of the owners the Annuitant; and for a Contract with only one owner, the owner’s spouse must be the sole primary beneficiary. For qualified Contracts, there may only be one owner who must also be the Annuitant, and then the owner’s spouse must also be the sole primary beneficiary. Non-natural, custodial owners are only allowed with IRAs. Owner and beneficiary designations for custodial IRAs must be the same as for any other qualified Contract. The Annuitant must be the beneficial owner of the custodial IRA. We require the custodian to provide us the name and date of birth of both the owner and owner’s spouse. We do not maintain individual owner and beneficiary designations for custodial IRAs. In no event are joint Annuitants allowed. We reserve the right to verify the date of birth and social security number of both spouses.
Rider Effective Date. The rider effective date is the date that coverage under the Joint LifePay Plus rider begins. If you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider when the Contract is issued, the rider effective date is also the Contract Date. If the Joint LifePay Plus rider is added after Contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. A quarterly Contract anniversary occurs once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date.
Active Spouse. An Active Spouse is the person (people) upon whose life and age the guarantees are calculated under the Joint LifePay Plus rider. There must be two Active Spouses when you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider, who are married to each other and either are joint owners, or for a Contract with only one owner, the spouse must be the sole primary beneficiary. You cannot add an Active Spouse after the rider effective date. In general, changes in ownership of the Contract, the Annuitant and/or beneficiary would result in one spouse being deactivated (the spouse is thereafter inactive). An inactive spouse is not eligible to exercise any rights or receive any benefits under the Joint LifePay Plus rider, including continuing the Joint LifePay Plus rider upon spousal continuation of the Contract. Once an Active Spouse is deactivated, the spouse may not become an Active Spouse again. Specific situations that would result in a spouse being deactivated include:
 
For nonqualified Contracts where the spouses are joint owners, the removal of a joint owner (if that spouse does not automatically become sole primary beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the Contract), or the change of one joint owner to a person other than an Active Spouse;
 
For nonqualified Contracts where one spouse is the owner and the other spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, as well as for IRA Contracts (including custodial IRAs), the addition of a joint owner who is not also an Active Spouse or any change of beneficiary (including the addition of primary beneficiaries); or
 
The spouse’s death.
An owner may also request that a spouse be deactivated. Both owners must agree when there are joint owners. However, all charges for the Joint LifePay Plus rider would continue to apply, even after a spouse is deactivated, regardless of the reason. So please be sure to understand the impact of any beneficiary or owner changes on the Joint LifePay Plus rider before requesting any changes. Also, please note that a divorce terminates the ability of an ex-spouse to continue the Contract. See “Divorce” below for more information.


I-8


Charge. The charge for the Joint LifePay Plus rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly from your Contract Value:
Maximum Annual Charge
Current Annual Charge
1.50%
1.05%
This quarterly charge is a percentage of the LifePay Plus Base. The current annual charge is 0.95% if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009. We deduct the charge in arrears based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter following the rider effective date. If the rider is elected at Contract issue, the rider effective date is the same as the Contract Date. If the rider is added after Contract issue, the rider effective date will be the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. A quarterly Contract anniversary occurs once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date. The charge will be assessed proportionately when the rider is terminated. Charges will no longer be deducted once your rider enters the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs when your Contract Value is reduced to zero and other conditions are met. We reserve the right to increase the charge for the Joint LifePay Plus rider upon an Annual Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins. Before January 12, 2009, we reserve the right to increase the charge for the Joint LifePay Plus rider upon a Quarterly Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins. You will never pay more than new issues of this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. We promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. For more information about how this rider works, please see “LIVING BENEFIT RIDERS – Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider.
If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. But currently, a Market Value Adjustment would not apply when this charge is deducted from a Fixed Interest Allocation. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C.
No Cancellation. Once you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider, you may not cancel it unless you: (1) cancel the Contract during the Contract’s free look period; (2) surrender the Contract; (3) begin the income phase and start receiving annuity payments; or (4) otherwise terminate the Contract pursuant to its terms. These events automatically cancel the Joint LifePay Plus rider.
Termination. The Joint LifePay Plus rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefits offered are intended to be available to you and your spouse while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you: (1) terminate your Contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender your Contract, or begin receiving income phase payments in lieu of payments under the Joint LifePay Plus rider; or (2) die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract Owners, or death of Annuitant if the Contract Owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract (and your spouse is an Active Spouse). The Joint LifePay Plus rider also terminates with a change in Contract ownership (other than a spousal beneficiary continuation on your death by an Active Spouse). Other circumstances that may cause the Joint LifePay Plus rider to terminate automatically are discussed below.
Highlights. This paragraph introduces the terminology of the Joint LifePay Plus rider and how its components generally work together. Benefits and guarantees are subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the Joint LifePay Plus rider. More detailed information follows below, with the capitalized words that are underlined indicating headings for ease of reference. The Joint LifePay Plus rider guarantees an amount available for withdrawal from the Contract in any Contract Year once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins – we use the LifePay Plus Base as part of the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The guarantee continues when the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, at which time we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (since Contract Value would be zero) until the last Active Spouse’s death. The LifePay Plus Base is eligible for Annual Ratchets and 6% Compounding Step-Ups (Quarterly Ratchets and 7% Compounding Step-Ups if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009), and subject to adjustment for any Excess Withdrawals. The Joint LifePay Plus rider has an allowance for withdrawals from a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code that would otherwise be Excess Withdrawals. The Joint LifePay Plus rider has a death benefit that is payable upon the owner’s death only when the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than the Contract’s death benefit. The Joint LifePay Plus rider allows for spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code.
LifePay Plus Base. The LifePay Plus Base is first calculated when you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider: on the Contract Date – equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or after the Contract Date – equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
The LifePay Plus Base is increased, dollar for dollar, by any subsequent premiums (excluding any applicable Premium Credits). We refer to the LifePay Plus Base as the MGWB Base in the Joint LifePay Plus rider.


I-9


Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals. Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, withdrawals within a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including for payment of third-party investment advisory fees, have no impact on the LifePay Plus Base. These withdrawals will not incur surrender charges, a negative Market Value Adjustment associated with any Fixed Interest Allocations or any Premium Credit deduction (recapture).
Say, for example, the current Contract Value is $90,000 on a Contract with the Joint LifePay Plus rider in the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase. The LifePay Plus Base is $100,000, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. Even though a withdrawal of $5,000 would reduce the Contract Value to $85,000, the LifePay Plus Base would remain at its current level (as would the Maximum Annual Withdrawal as well) since the withdrawal did not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. See below for more information about the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
An Excess Withdrawal is a withdrawal either before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins (except for payment of third-party investment advisory fees), or once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, any portion of a withdrawal during a Contract Year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. An Excess Withdrawal will cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base – in the same proportion as Contract Value is reduced by the portion of the withdrawal that is considered excess, inclusive of surrender charges, Market Value Adjustment associated with any Fixed Interest Allocations or any Premium Credit deduction (recapture) (rather than the total amount of the withdrawal). An Excess Withdrawal will also cause the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be recalculated. See APPENDIX G, Illustrations 1, 2 and 6 for examples of the consequences of an Excess Withdrawal.
Please note that any withdrawals before the rider effective date in the same Contract Year when the Joint LifePay Plus rider is added after Contract issue are counted in summing up your withdrawals in that Contract Year to determine whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded.
Annual Ratchet. The LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each Contract anniversary – to equal the greater of: the current LifePay Plus Base; or the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). We call this recalculation the Annual Ratchet.
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each quarterly Contract anniversary (once each quarter of a Contract Year from the Contract Date). We call this recalculation a Quarterly Ratchet.
Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, we reserve the right to increase the charge for the Joint LifePay Plus rider upon the Annual Ratchet. You will never pay more than new issues of the Joint LifePay Plus rider, subject to the maximum annual charge, and we promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. We will notify you in writing not less than 30 days before a charge increase. You may avoid the charge increase by canceling the forthcoming Annual Ratchet. Our written notice will outline the procedure you will need to follow to do so. Please note, however, from then on the LifePay Plus Base would no longer be eligible for any Annual Ratchets, so the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage would not be eligible to increase. More information about the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages is below under “Maximum Annual Withdrawal.” Our written notice will also remind you of the consequences of canceling the forthcoming Annual Ratchet.
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, we reserve the right to increase the charge for this rider upon a Quarterly Ratchet once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins. You will never pay more than new issues of the rider, subject to the maximum annual charge, and we promise not to increase the charge for your first five Contract Years. Canceling a forthcoming Quarterly Ratchet to avoid the charge increase will have the same outcome.
6% Compounding Step-Up. The LifePay Plus Base is recalculated on each of the first ten Contract anniversaries after the rider effective date, SO LONG AS you took no withdrawals during the preceding Contract Year – to equal the greatest of: the current LifePay Plus Base; the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months); and the LifePay Plus Base on the previous Contract anniversary, increased by 6%, plus any premiums received (excluding any applicable Premium Credits) and minus any withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees since the previous Contract anniversary. We call this recalculation a 6% Compounding Step-Up.
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, the step-up is 7%, which we call a 7% Compounding Step-Up.
Please note that there are no partial 6% Compounding Step-Ups. The 6% Compounding Step-Up is not assessed proportionately. So for existing Contracts to which this rider is attached (a post Contract issuance election), the first opportunity for a 6% Compounding Step-Up will not be until the first Contract anniversary after a full Contract Year has elapsed since the rider effective date.
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, the step-up is 7%, which we call the 7% Compounding Step-Up. The 7% Compounding Step-Up is not assessed proportionately.


I-10


Say, for example, that with a Contract purchased on January 1, 2007, the Contract Owner decides to add the Joint LifePay Plus rider on March 15, 2007. The rider effective date is April 1, 2007, which is the date of the Contract’s next following quarterly Contract anniversary. Because on January 1, 2008 a full Contract Year will not have elapsed since the rider effective date, the LifePay Plus Base will not be eligible for a step-up. Rather, the first opportunity for a step-up with this Contract is on January 1, 2009.
Lifetime Withdrawal Phase. The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins on the date of your first withdrawal (except those for payment of third-party investment advisory fees), SO LONG AS the youngest Active Spouse is age 59½. On this date, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the greater of the current LifePay Base or the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase will continue until the earliest of:
 
The date annuity payments begin (see “THE ANNUITY OPTIONS”);
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by an Excess Withdrawal;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
Surrender of the Contract;
 
The death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; Annuitant, in the case of a non-natural person owner), unless your spouse beneficiary is an Active Spouse who elects to continue the Contract; or
 
The last Active Spouse dies.
The Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status in the event Contract Value is reduced to zero other than by an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” below for more information.
Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is the amount that the Joint LifePay Plus rider guarantees to be available for withdrawal from the Contract in any Contract Year. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated when the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins and equals the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the younger Active Spouse’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base.
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages are:
Percentages
Ages
4%
5912 to 64
5%
65 to 75
6%
76 to 79
7%
80+
If this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentages are:
Percentages 
Ages
4%
5912 to 64
5%
65 to 69
6%
70 to 79
7%
80+
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal thereafter is recalculated whenever the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated, for example, upon the Annual Ratchet or 6% Compounding Step-Up (Quarterly Ratchet or 7% Compounding Step-Up if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009). Also, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage can increase with the Annual Ratchet as the younger Active Spouse grows older.
In the event on the date the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) is greater than the LifePay Plus Base, then before the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated, the LifePay Plus Base will be set equal to the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months). The greater the LifePay Plus Base, the greater the amount guaranteed to be available to you for withdrawals under the Joint LifePay Plus rider in calculating the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the first time. Also, if the Contract’s annuity commencement date is reached while the Joint LifePay Plus rider is in the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, then you may elect a life only annuity option, in lieu of the Contract’s other annuity options, under which we will pay the greater of the annuity payout under the Contract and equal annual payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. For more information about the Contract’s annuity options, see “THE ANNUITY OPTIONS.”






I-11


Required Minimum Distributions. The Joint LifePay Plus rider allows for withdrawals from a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal without causing a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base and recalculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. If your Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before December 31 of that year), applicable to this Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, then an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Once you have taken the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract Year, the dollar amount of any additional withdrawals will count first against and reduce any unused Additional Withdrawal Amount for the previous calendar year followed by any Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year – without constituting an Excess Withdrawal. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 3 for an example.
Withdrawals that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and all available Additional Withdrawal Amounts are Excess Withdrawals that will cause a proportional reduction of the LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be recalculated. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 5 for an example of the consequences of an Excess Withdrawal with an Additional Withdrawal Amount. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is available on a calendar year basis and recalculated every January, reset to equal that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date. Any unused amount of the Additional Withdrawal Amount carries over into the next calendar year and is available through the end of that year, at which time any amount remaining will expire. See APPENDIX G, Illustration 4 for an example of the Additional Withdrawal Amount being carried over. Please note that there is no adjustment to the Additional Withdrawal Amount for Annual Ratchets (Quarterly Ratchets if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009) or upon spousal continuation of the Joint LifePay Plus Rider.
Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status when your Contract Value is reduced to zero other than by an Excess Withdrawal. (A withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal that causes your Contract Value to be reduced to zero will terminate the Joint LifePay Plus rider.) You will no longer be entitled to make withdrawals, but instead will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. When the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status: the Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the Joint LifePay Plus rider; no further premium payments will be accepted; and any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will cease upon the death of the last Active Spouse at which time both the rider and the Contract will terminate. The rider will remain in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status until it terminates without value upon the last Active Spouse’s death.
If when the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status your net withdrawals to date are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that Contract Year, then we will pay you the difference immediately. The periodic payments will begin on the first Contract anniversary following the date the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.
In the event Contract Value is reduced to zero before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status is deferred until the Contract anniversary on or after the youngest Active Spouse is age 59½. During this time, the Joint LifePay Plus rider’s death benefit remains payable upon the last Active Spouse’s death. Also, the LifePay Plus Base remains eligible for the 6% Compounding Step-Ups (7% Compounding Step-Ups if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009). Once the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, periodic payments will begin in an annual amount equal to the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the youngest Active Spouse’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base. If an Active Spouse were to die while Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status is deferred, then when the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, and the annual amount of the periodic payments, would be based on the remaining Active Spouse’s age.
You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a systematic withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the Contract Value will be withdrawn from your Contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at the time the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made annually, then the payments will be made on each following Contract anniversary.


I-12


Investment Option Restrictions. While the Joint LifePay Plus rider is in effect, there are limits on the portfolios to which your Contract Value may be allocated. Contract Value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least a specified percentage of such Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds, which depends on the rider’s purchase date:
Rider Purchase Date
Fixed Allocation Fund Percentage
Currently
30%
Before January 12, 2009
25%
Before October 6, 2008
20%
See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below. We have these investment option restrictions to lessen the likelihood we have to make payments under this rider. We require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to the Contract. The Joint LifePay Plus rider will not be issued until your Contract Value is allocated in accordance with these investment option restrictions. The timing of when and how we apply these investment option restrictions is discussed further below.
Accepted Funds. The currently available Accepted Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. No rebalancing is necessary when Contract Value is allocated entirely to Accepted Funds. We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract Value allocated to such funds after the date of the change.
Fixed Allocation Funds. The currently available Fixed Allocation Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
Other Funds. All portfolios available under the Contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is less than the specified percentage of the total Contract Value allocated among the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any Joint LifePay Plus Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that the specified percentage of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. The specified percentage depends on the rider’s purchase date. Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done proportionally from the Other Funds to the Fixed Allocation Funds and will be the last transaction processed on that date. The Joint LifePay Plus Rebalancing Dates occur on each Contract anniversary and after the following transactions:
 
Receipt of additional premiums;
 
Transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
 
Withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.You will be notified that Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred, along with your new allocations, by a confirmation statement that will be mailed to you after Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing has occurred.
In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in it. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider if you do not wish to have your Contract Value reallocated in this manner.
Divorce. Generally, in the event of divorce, the spouse who retains ownership of the Contract will continue to be entitled to all rights and benefits of the Joint LifePay Plus rider, while the ex-spouse will no longer have any such rights or be entitled to any such benefits. In the event of a divorce during the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, the Joint LifePay Plus rider would continue until the owner’s death (first owner in the case of joint owners, or Annuitant in the case of a custodial IRA). Although spousal continuation may be available under the Tax Code for a subsequent spouse, the Joint LifePay Plus rider cannot be continued by the new spouse. As a result of the divorce, we may be required to withdraw assets for the benefit of an ex-spouse. Any such withdrawal would be considered a withdrawal for purposes of the LifePay Plus Base. See “LifePay Plus Base – Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals” above. In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, there will be no change in the amount of your periodic payments. Payments will continue until both spouses are deceased.



I-13


Death of Owner or Annuitant. The Joint LifePay Plus rider terminates (with the rider’s charges assessed proportionately) on the earlier of the date of death of the last Active Spouse, or when the surviving spouse decides not to continue the Contract.
LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base. The Joint LifePay Plus rider has a death benefit that is payable upon the first owner’s death only when the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than the Contract’s death benefit. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is first calculated when you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider: on the Contract Date – equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or after the Contract Date – equal to the Contract Value on the rider effective date (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is increased by the dollar amount of any subsequent premiums (excluding any applicable Premium Credits) and subject to any withdrawal adjustments. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is reduced by the dollar amount of any withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, and for any withdrawals once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins that are not Excess Withdrawals, including withdrawals for payment of third-party investment advisory fees. The LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is subject to a proportional reduction for an Excess Withdrawal. Please see “LifePay Plus Base – Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals” for more information.
There is no additional charge for the death benefit associated with the Joint LifePay Plus rider. Please note that the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is not eligible to participate in Annual Ratchets or 6% Compounding Step-Ups (Quarterly Ratchets and 7% Compounding Step-Ups if this rider was purchased before January 12, 2009).
In the event the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base is greater than zero when the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, each periodic payment reduces the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base dollar for dollar until the earlier date of the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base being reduced to zero or the last Active Spouse’s death. Upon the last Active Spouse’s death, any remaining LifePay Plus death benefit is payable to the beneficiary in a lump sum.
Spousal Continuation. If the surviving spouse of the deceased owner continues the Contract, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code (see “DEATH BENEFIT CHOICES – Continuation After Death – Spouse”), the rider will also continue, SO LONG AS the surviving spouse in an Active Spouse. At that time, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated to equal the greater of: the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied after the deceased owner’s death), inclusive of the guaranteed death benefit; and the last calculated LifePay Plus Base, subject to a proportional adjustment for any withdrawals before spousal continuation.
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is also recalculated; however, there is no Maximum Annual Withdrawal upon spousal continuation until the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins on the date of the first withdrawal after spousal continuation, SO LONG AS the last Active Spouse is age 59½. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated to equal the applicable Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage, based on the last Active Spouse’s age, multiplied by the LifePay Plus Base. There is no adjustment to the Additional Withdrawal Amount upon spousal continuation of the Joint LifePay Plus rider for a Contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code. Any withdrawals before the owner’s death and spousal continuation are counted in summing up your withdrawals in that Contract Year to determine whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded.
Please note, if the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) is greater than the LifePay Plus Base on the date the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, then the LifePay Plus Base will be set equal to the Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months) before the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is first calculated. Also, upon spousal continuation, the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base equals the LifePay Plus Death Benefit Base before the owner’s death, subject to any proportional adjustment for any withdrawals before spousal continuation of the rider.
Contrary to the Joint LifePay Plus rider, spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider would likely NOT take effect at the same time as the Contract is continued. As noted above, the LifePay Plus rider provides for spousal continuation only on a quarterly Contract anniversary (subject to the spouse becoming the Annuitant and sole owner). So if you are concerned about the availability of benefits being interrupted with spousal continuation of the LifePay Plus rider, you might instead want to purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider.










I-14


Change of Owner or Annuitant. The Joint LifePay Plus rider terminates (with the rider’s charge assessed proportionately) upon an ownership change or change of Annuitant, except for:
 
Spousal continuation as described above;
 
Change of owner from one custodian to another custodian;
 
Change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual (owner’s spouse must be named sole primary beneficiary to remain an Active Spouse);
 
Change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
 
Collateral assignments;
 
For nonqualified Contracts only, the addition of a joint owner, provided the added joint owner is the original owner’s spouse and is an Active Spouse when added as a joint owner;
 
For nonqualified Contracts only, the removal of a joint owner, provided the removed joint owner is an Active Spouse and becomes the sole primary beneficiary; and
 
Change of owner where the owner becomes the sole primary beneficiary and the sole primary beneficiary becomes the owner, provided both spouses are Active Spouses at the time of the change.
Surrender Charges. Once the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, your withdrawals within a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (and any applicable Additional Withdrawal Amount) are not subject to surrender charges. We waive any surrender charges otherwise applicable to your withdrawal in a Contract Year that is less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. We waive any surrender charges otherwise applicable to your withdrawal in a Contract Year that is less than equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Excess Withdrawals are subject to surrender charges, whether or not the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has begun. Once your Contract Value is reduced to zero, any periodic payments under the Joint LifePay Plus rider would not be subject to surrender charges. Moreover, with no Contract Value, none of your Contract level recurring charges (e.g., the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge) would be deducted.
Loans. No loans are permitted on Contracts with the Joint LifePay Plus rider.
Taxation. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the Joint LifePay Plus Rider, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits.”

 
Important Note:
The information immediately below pertains to the form of the LifePay Plus rider available for sale on and after August 20, 2007, through April 28, 2008, in states where approved.
LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“LifePay Plus”) Rider. The LifePay Plus rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of the Annuitant, even if these withdrawals deplete your Contract Value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are concerned that you may outlive your income.
Purchase. In order to elect the LifePay Plus rider, the Annuitant must be the owner or one of the owners, unless the owner is a non-natural owner. Joint Annuitants are not allowed. The maximum issue age is 80. The issue age is the age of the owner (or the Annuitant if there are joint owners or the owner is non-natural) on the Contract anniversary on which the rider is effective. Some broker-dealers may limit the availability of the rider to younger ages. The LifePay Plus rider is available for Contracts issued on and after August 20, 2007, (subject to availability and state approvals) that do not already have a living benefit rider. The LifePay Plus rider will not be issued if the initial allocation to investment options is not in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,” below. The Company in its discretion may allow the rider to be elected after a Contract has been issued without it, subject to certain conditions. Contact Customer Service for more information. Such election must be received in good order, including compliance with the investment restrictions described below. The rider will be effective as of the following quarterly Contract anniversary.
Rider Date. The Rider Date is the date the LifePay Plus rider becomes effective. If you purchase the LifePay Plus rider when the Contract is issued, the Rider Date is also the Contract Date.
Charge. The charge for the LifePay Plus rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly from your Contract Value:
Maximum Annual Charge
Current Annual Charge
2.00%
0.60%




I-15


This quarterly charge is a percentage of the LifePay Plus Base. We deduct the charge in arrears based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter from the Contract Date. If the rider is added after Contract issue, the rider and charges will begin on the next following quarterly Contract anniversary. The charge will be assessed proportionately when the rider is terminated. Charges are deducted through the date your rider enters either the Automatic Periodic Benefit Status or Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Automatic Periodic Benefit Status or Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs if your Contract Value is reduced to zero and other conditions are met. The current charge can change upon a reset after your first five Contract Years. You will never pay more than the maximum annual charge.
If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. But currently, a Market Value Adjustment would not apply when this charge is deducted from a Fixed Interest Allocation. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C. We reserve the right to change the charge for this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. If changed, the new charge will only apply to riders issued after the change.
No Cancellation. Once you purchase the LifePay Plus rider, you may not cancel it unless you cancel the Contract during the Contract’s free look period, surrender, annuitize or otherwise terminate the Contract. These events automatically cancel the LifePay Plus rider.
Termination. The LifePay Plus rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefits offered are intended to be available to you while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you:
 
Annuitize, surrender or otherwise terminate your Contract during the accumulation phase; or
 
Die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract owners, or death of Annuitant if Contract Owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
The LifePay Plus rider will also terminate if there is a change in Contract ownership (other than a spousal beneficiary continuation on your death). Other circumstances that may cause the LifePay Plus rider to terminate automatically are discussed below.
Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, ONLY IF the quarterly Contract anniversary following the Annuitant reaching age 59½ has not yet passed. While the LifePay Plus rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, withdrawals in a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will reduce the LifePay Plus Base dollar-for-dollar. This status will then continue until the earliest of:
 
Quarterly Contract anniversary following the Annuitant reaching age 59½, provided the Contract Owner does not decline the change to Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status;
 
Reduction of the LifePay Plus Base to zero, at which time the rider will terminate;
 
The annuity commencement date;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below);
 
The surrender or annuitization of the Contract; or
 
The death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; Annuitant, in the case of a non-natural person owner), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
Please note that the withdrawals while the LifePay Plus rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status are not guaranteed for the lifetime of the Annuitant.
Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date of your first withdrawal, provided the quarterly Contract anniversary following the Annuitant’s age 59½ has passed. If your first withdrawal is taken before this date, then the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status will automatically begin on the quarterly Contract anniversary following the Annuitant reaching age 59½. This status continues until the earliest of:
 
The annuity commencement date;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below);
 
The surrender or annuitization of the Contract; or
 
The death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; Annuitant, in the case of a non-natural person owner), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.



I-16


You will receive prior notice, of not less than 30 days, if you are in the Guaranteed Withdrawal Status and become eligible for the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This notice will explain the change, its impact to you and your options. You may decline this change. Automatic reset into the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status could result in a lower Maximum Annual Withdrawal. However, this action will also apply to all future resets (see below) and cannot be reversed. As described below, certain features of the LifePay Plus rider may differ depending upon whether you are in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.
How the LifePay Plus Rider Works. The LifePay Plus Withdrawal Benefit rider has two phases. The first phase, called the Growth Phase, begins on the effective date of the rider and ends as of the business day before the first withdrawal is taken (or when the annuity commencement date is reached). The second phase is called the Withdrawal Phase. This phase begins as of the date of the first withdrawal or the annuity commencement date, whichever occurs first.
Benefits paid under the LifePay Plus rider require the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The LifePay Plus Base (referred to as the “MGWB Base” in the Contract) is used to determine the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and is calculated as follows:
 
If you purchased the LifePay Plus rider on the Contract Date, the initial LifePay Plus Base is equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or
 
If you purchased the LifePay Plus rider after the Contract Date, the initial LifePay Plus Base is equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
During the Growth Phase, the initial LifePay Plus Base is increased dollar-for-dollar by any premiums received, excluding any credits on premiums, or Premium Credits, applied to your Contract during the preceding 36 months (“eligible premiums”). In addition, on each quarterly Contract anniversary, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated as the greater of:
 
The current LifePay Plus Base; and
 
The current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation). This is referred to as a quarterly “ratchet.”
Also, on each of the first ten Contract anniversaries, the LifePay Plus Base is recalculated as the greatest of:
 
The current LifePay Plus Base;
 
The current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation); and
 
The LifePay Plus Base on the previous Contract anniversary, increased by 7%, plus any eligible premiums and minus any third-party investment advisory fees paid from your Contract during the year. This is referred to as an annual “step-up.” (Any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months are excluded from the eligible premiums with a step-up.)
Please note that if this rider is added after the Contract Date, then the first opportunity for a step-up will be on the first Contract anniversary following a complete Contract Year after the Rider Date.
The LifePay Plus Base has no additional impact on the calculation of annuity payments or withdrawal benefits.
Currently, any additional premiums paid during the Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums for purposes of determining the LifePay Plus Base or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal; however, we reserve the right to treat such premiums as eligible premiums at our discretion, in a nondiscriminatory manner. Premiums received during the Withdrawal Phase do increase the Contract Value used to determine the reset Maximum Annual Withdrawal under the benefit reset feature of the LifePay Plus rider (see “LifePay Plus Reset,” below). We reserve the right to discontinue allowing premium payments during the Withdrawal Phase.
Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is determined on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins. It equals a percentage of the greater of: (1) the Contract Value; and (2) the LifePay Plus Base as of the last day of the Growth Phase. The first withdrawal after the effective date of the rider (which causes the end of the Growth Phase) is treated as occurring on the first day of the Withdrawal Phase, after calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage, which varies by age of the Annuitant on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, is as follows:
Annuitant Age
Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Percentage
 
0 to 75*
5%*
 
76 to 80
6%
 
81+
7%
 
   
*
If the Withdrawal Phase begins before the quarterly Contract anniversary on or after the Annuitant reaches age 59½, withdrawals in a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will reduce the LifePay Plus Base dollar-for-dollar, under what we refer to as the “Standard Withdrawal Benefit.” Then, on the quarterly Contract anniversary on or after the Annuitant reaches age 59½, the LifePay Plus Base will automatically be reset to the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months), if greater, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be recalculated.



I-17


Once determined, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage never changes for the Contract, except as provided for under spousal continuation. See “Continuation After Death – Spouse,” below. This is important to keep in mind in deciding when to take your first withdrawal because the younger you are at that time, the lower the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage.
If the Contract’s annuity commencement date is reached, while you are in the LifePay Plus rider’s Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, then you may elect a life only annuity option, in lieu of the Contract’s other annuity options, under which we will pay the greater of the annuity payout under the Contract and equal annual payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
If withdrawals in any Contract Year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, then the LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced proportionally. This means that both the LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced by the same proportion as the withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (the “excess withdrawal”) is of the Contract Value determined:
 
Before the withdrawal, for the excess withdrawal; and
 
After the withdrawal, for the amount withdrawn up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (without regard to the excess withdrawal).
When a withdrawal is made, the total withdrawals taken in a Contract Year are compared with the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal. To the extent that the withdrawal taken causes the total withdrawals in that year to exceed the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal, that withdrawal is considered excess. For purposes of determining whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded, any applicable Premium Credit deduction, Market Value Adjustment or surrender charges will not be applied to the withdrawal. However, for purposes of determining the Maximum Annual Withdrawal reduction after an excess withdrawal, any Premium Credit deduction, surrender charges and/or Market Value Adjustment are considered to be part of the withdrawal. See Illustrations 1 and 2 below for examples of this concept.
Required Minimum Distributions. Withdrawals taken from the Contract to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code, that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for a specific Contract Year, will not be deemed excess withdrawals in that Contract Year for purposes of the LifePay Plus rider, subject to the following rules:
 
If your Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before December 31 of that year), applicable to this Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
You may withdraw the Additional Withdrawal Amount from this Contract without it being deemed an excess withdrawal;
 
Any withdrawals taken in a Contract Year will count first against the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that Contract Year;
 
Once the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract Year has been taken, additional amounts withdrawn in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will count first against and reduce any unused Additional Withdrawal Amount for the previous calendar year followed by any Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year;
 
Withdrawals that exceed all available Additional Withdrawal Amounts are excess withdrawals and will reduce the Maximum Annual Withdrawal proportionally, as described above;
 
The Additional Withdrawal Amount is reset to zero at the end of the second calendar year from which it was originally calculated; and
 
If the Contract is still in the Growth Phase on the date the Additional Withdrawal Amount is determined, but enters the Withdrawal Phase later during that calendar year, the Additional Withdrawal Amount will be equal to the amount in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal necessary to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution for that year (if any).
See Illustration 3 below.
Investment Advisory Fees. Withdrawals taken pursuant to a program established by the owner for the payment of investment advisory fees to a named third party investment adviser for advice on management of the Contract’s values will not cause the Withdrawal Phase to begin. During the Growth Phase such withdrawals reduce the LifePay Plus Base on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and during the Withdrawal Phase these withdrawals are treated as any other withdrawal.
Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal while the rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the rider will enter Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are entitled to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, until the remaining LifePay Plus Base is exhausted.
When the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:
The Contract will provide no further benefits other than as provided under the LifePay Plus rider;
No further premium payments will be accepted; and
Any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.



I-18


During Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will continue until the LifePay Plus Base is reduced to zero, at which time the rider will terminate without value.
The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract Year following the date the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter. If, at the time the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract Year or Contract Year, as applicable.
Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and the rider will terminate due to the proportional reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,” above.
If the Contract Value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal while the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the rider will enter Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are entitled to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
When the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:
The Contract will provide no further benefits other than as provided under the LifePay Plus rider;
No further premium payments will be accepted; and
Any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will cease upon the death of the Annuitant at which time both the rider and the Contract will terminate. The rider will remain in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status until it terminates without value upon the Annuitant’s death.
The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract Year following the date the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter. If, at the time the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract Year or Contract Year, as applicable.
LifePay Plus Reset. Once the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been determined, on each quarterly Contract anniversary we will increase (or “reset”) the LifePay Plus Base to the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation), if the Contract Value is higher. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal will also be recalculated, and the remaining portion of the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be available for withdrawal immediately. This reset ONLY occurs when the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status and is automatic.
We reserve the right to change the charge for this rider with a reset. In this event, you will receive prior notice, of not less than 30 days, which explains the change, its impact to you and your options. You may decline this change (and the reset). However, this action will apply to all future resets and cannot be reversed.
Investment Option Restrictions. While the LifePay Plus rider is in effect, there are limits on the portfolios to which your Contract Value may be allocated. Contract Value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least 20% of such Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds. See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below.
Accepted Funds. The currently available Accepted Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract Value allocated to such funds after the date of the change.
Fixed Allocation Funds. The currently available Fixed Allocation Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.


I-19


If the rider is not continued under the spousal continuation right when available, the Fixed Allocation Fund may be reclassified as a Special Fund as of the Contract continuation date if it would otherwise be designated as a Special Fund for purposes of the Contract’s death benefits. For purposes of calculating any applicable death benefit guaranteed under the Contract, any allocation of Contract Value to the Fixed Allocation Funds will be considered a Covered Fund allocation while the rider is in effect.
Other Funds. All portfolios available under the Contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is less than 20% of the total Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any LifePay Plus Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that 20% of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done proportionally among the Other Funds and will be the last transaction processed on that date. The LifePay Plus Rebalancing Dates occur on each Contract anniversary and after the following transactions:
 
Receipt of additional premiums;
 
Transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
 
Withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in them. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the LifePay Plus rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the LifePay Plus rider if you do not wish to have your Contract Value reallocated in this manner.
Death of Owner or Annuitant. The LifePay Plus rider and charges will terminate on the date of death of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner), or the Annuitant if there is a non-natural owner.
Continuation After Death – Spouse. If the surviving spouse of the deceased owner continues the Contract, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code, the rider will also continue on the next quarterly Contract anniversary, provided the spouse becomes the Annuitant and sole owner. See “DEATH BENEFIT CHOICES – Continuation After Death – Spouse.”
If the rider is in the Growth Phase at the time of spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code:
 
The rider will continue in the Growth Phase;
 
On the date the rider is continued, the LifePay Plus Base will be reset to equal the greater of the LifePay Plus Base and the then current Contract Value;
 
The LifePay Plus charges will restart and be the same as were in effect prior to the Claim Date;
 
Ratchets, which stop on the Claim Date, are restarted, effective on the date the rider is continued;
 
Any remaining step-ups will be available, and if the rider is continued before an annual Contract anniversary when a step-up would have been available, then that step-up will be available;
 
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage will be determined as of the date of the first withdrawal, whenever it occurs, and will be based on the spouse’s age on that date; and
 
The rider’s Standard Withdrawal Benefit will be available until the quarterly Contract anniversary on or after the spouse is age 59½.













I-20


If the rider is in the Withdrawal Phase at the time of spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code:
 
The rider will continue in the Withdrawal Phase;
 
The rider’s charges will restart on the date the rider is continued and be the same as were in effect prior to the Claim Date;
 
On the quarterly Contract anniversary that the date the rider is continued;
 
If the surviving spouse was not the Annuitant before the owner’s death, then the LifePay Plus Base will be reset to the current Contract Value and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated by multiplying the new LifePay Plus Base by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage based on the surviving spouse’s age on that date. Withdrawals are permitted pursuant to the other provisions of the rider. Withdrawals causing the Contract Value to fall to zero will terminate the Contract and the rider; or
 
 
If the surviving spouse was the Annuitant before the owner’s death, then the LifePay Plus Base will be reset to the current Contract Value, only if greater, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated by multiplying the new LifePay Plus Base by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage. Withdrawals are permitted pursuant to the other provisions of the rider; and
 
 
The rider charges will restart on the quarter Contract anniversary that the rider is continued and will be the same as were in effect prior to the Claim Date.
 
Effect of LifePay Plus Rider on Death Benefit. If you die before Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status begins under the LifePay Plus rider, the death benefit is payable, but the rider terminates. However, if the beneficiary is the owner’s spouse, and the spouse elects to continue the Contract, the death benefit is not payable until the spouse’s death. Thus, you should not purchase this rider with multiple owners, unless the owners are spouses. See “Death of Owner or Annuitant” and “Continuation After Death – Spouse,” above for further information.
While in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if the owner who is not the Annuitant dies, we will continue to pay the periodic payments that the owner was receiving under the LifePay Plus rider to the beneficiary. While in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if an owner who is also the Annuitant dies, the periodic payments will stop. No other death benefit is payable.
While the rider is in Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if the owner dies, the remaining LifePay Plus Base will be paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum.
Change of Owner or Annuitant. Other than as provided above under “Continuation After Death – Spouse,” you may not change the Annuitant. The rider and rider charges will terminate upon change of owner, including adding an additional owner, except for the following ownership changes:
 
Spousal continuation as described above;
 
Change of owner from one custodian to another custodian;
 
Change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual;
 
Change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
 
Collateral assignments;
 
Change in trust as owner where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual;
 
Change of owner from an individual to a trust where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual; and
 
Change of owner from a trust to an individual where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual.
Surrender Charges. If you elect the LifePay Plus rider, your withdrawals will be subject to surrender charges if they exceed the Free Withdrawal Amount. However, once your Contract Value is zero, the periodic payments under the LifePay Plus rider are not subject to surrender charges.
Loans. No loans are permitted on Contracts with the LifePay Plus rider.
Taxation. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the LifePay Plus Rider, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits.”

 
Important Note:
The information immediately below pertains to the form of the Joint LifePay Plus rider available for sale on and after August 20, 2007 through April 28, 2008 in states where approved.
Joint LifePay Plus Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“Joint LifePay Plus”) Rider. The Joint LifePay Plus rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of both you and your spouse, even if these withdrawals deplete your Contract Value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are married and are concerned that you and your spouse may outlive your income.




I-21


Purchase. The Joint LifePay Plus rider is only available for purchase by individuals who are married at the time of purchase and eligible to elect spousal continuation (as defined by the Tax Code) when the death benefit becomes payable. We refer to these individuals as spouses. Certain ownership, Annuitant, and beneficiary designations are required in order to purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider. See “Ownership, Annuitant, and Beneficiary Requirements,” below.
The maximum issue age is 80. Both spouses must meet these issue age requirements on the Contract anniversary on which the Joint LifePay Plus rider is effective. The issue age is the age of the owners on the Contract anniversary on which the rider is effective. Some broker dealers may limit the maximum issue age to ages younger than age 80, but in no event lower than age 55. We reserve the right to change the minimum or maximum issue ages on a nondiscriminatory basis. The Joint LifePay Plus rider is available for Contracts issued on and after August 20, 2007 (subject to availability and state approvals) that do not already have a living benefit rider. The Joint LifePay Plus rider will not be issued if the initial allocation to investment options is not in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,” below. The Company in its discretion may allow the Joint LifePay Plus rider to be elected after a Contract has been issued without it, subject to certain conditions. Please contact Customer Service for more information. Such election must be received in good order, including owner, Annuitant, and beneficiary designations and compliance with the investment restrictions described below. The Joint LifePay Plus rider will be effective as of the following quarterly Contract anniversary.
Ownership, Annuitant, and Beneficiary Designation Requirements. Certain ownership, Annuitant, and beneficiary designations are required in order to purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider. These designations depend upon whether the Contract is issued as a nonqualified Contract, an IRA or a custodial IRA. In all cases, the ownership, Annuitant, and beneficiary designations must allow for the surviving spouse to continue the Contract when the death benefit becomes payable, as provided by the Tax Code. Non-natural, custodial owners are only allowed with IRAs (“custodial IRAs”). Joint Annuitants are not allowed. The necessary ownership, Annuitant, and/or beneficiary designations are described below. Applications that do not meet the requirements below will be rejected. We reserve the right to verify the date of birth and social security number of both spouses.
Nonqualified Contracts. For a jointly owned Contract, the owners must be spouses, and the Annuitant must be one of the owners. For a Contract with only one owner, the owner’s spouse must be the sole primary beneficiary and the Annuitant must be one of the spouses.
IRAs. There may only be one owner, who must also be the Annuitant. The owner’s spouse must be the sole primary beneficiary.
Custodial IRAs. While we do not maintain individual owner and beneficiary designations for IRAs held by an outside custodian, the ownership and beneficiary designations with the custodian must comply with the requirements listed in “IRAs,” above. The Annuitant must be the same as the beneficial owner of the custodial IRA. We require the custodian to provide us the name and date of birth of both the owner and the owner’s spouse.
Rider Date. The Joint LifePay Plus Rider Date is the date the Joint LifePay Plus rider becomes effective. If you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider when the Contract is issued, the Joint LifePay Plus Rider Date is also the Contract Date.
Charge. The charge for the Joint LifePay Plus rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly from your Contract Value:
Maximum Annual Charge
Current Annual Charge
2.50%
0.85%
This quarterly charge is a percentage of the Joint LifePay Plus Base. We deduct the charge in arrears based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter from the Contract Date. If the rider is added after Contract issue, the rider and charges will begin on the next following quarterly Contract anniversary. The charge will be assessed proportionately when the rider is terminated. Charges are deducted through the date your rider enters either the Automatic Periodic Benefit Status or Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Automatic Periodic Benefit Status or Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs if your Contract Value is reduced to zero and other conditions are met. The current charge can be subject to change upon a reset after your first five Contract Years. You will never pay more than the maximum annual charge.
If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. But currently, a Market Value Adjustment would not apply when this charge is deducted from a Fixed Interest Allocation. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C. We reserve the right to change the charge for this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. If changed, the new charge will only apply to riders issued after the change.




I-22


No Cancellation. Once you purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider, you may not cancel it unless you cancel the Contract during the Contract’s free look period (or otherwise cancel the Contract pursuant to its terms), surrender or annuitize in lieu of payments under the Joint LifePay Plus rider. These events automatically cancel the Joint LifePay Plus rider.
Termination. The Joint LifePay Plus rider is a “living benefit,” which means the guaranteed benefits offered are intended to be available to you and your spouse while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you:
 
Terminate your Contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender, or begin receiving annuity payments in lieu of payments under the Joint LifePay Plus rider;
 
Die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die in the case of joint owners, or death of Annuitant if the Contract is a custodial IRA), unless your spouse elects to continue the Contract (and your spouse is active for purposes of the Joint LifePay Plus rider); or
 
Change the owner of the Contract (other than a spousal continuation by an active spouse).
See “Change of Owner or Annuitant,” below. Other circumstances that may cause the Joint LifePay Plus rider to terminate automatically are discussed below.
Active Status. Once the Joint LifePay Plus rider has been issued, a spouse must remain in “active” status in order to exercise rights and receive the benefits of the Joint LifePay Plus rider after the first spouse’s death by electing spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code. In general, changes to the ownership, Annuitant, and/or beneficiary designation requirements noted above will result in one spouse being designated as “inactive.” Inactive spouses are not eligible to continue the benefits of the Joint LifePay Plus rider after the death of the other spouse. Once designated “inactive,” a spouse may not regain active status under the Joint LifePay Plus rider. Specific situations that will result in a spouse’s designation as “inactive” include the following:
 
For nonqualified Contracts where the spouses are joint owners, the removal of a joint owner (if that spouse does not automatically become sole primary beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the Contract), or the change of one joint owner to a person other than an active spouse;
 
For nonqualified Contracts where one spouse is the owner and the other spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, as well as for IRA Contracts (including custodial IRAs), the addition of a joint owner who is not also an active spouse or any change of beneficiary (including the addition of primary beneficiaries); and
 
In the event of the death of one spouse (in which case the deceased spouse becomes inactive).
An owner may also request that one spouse be treated as inactive. In the case of joint-owned Contracts, both Contract Owners must agree to such a request. An inactive spouse is not eligible to exercise any rights or receive any benefits under the Joint LifePay Plus rider. However, all charges for the Joint LifePay Plus rider will continue to apply, even if one spouse becomes inactive, regardless of the reason. You should make sure you understand the impact of beneficiary and owner changes on the Joint LifePay Plus rider prior to requesting any such changes.
A divorce will terminate the ability of an ex-spouse to continue the Contract. See “Divorce,” below.
Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, ONLY IF the quarterly Contract anniversary following the youngest active spouse’s 65th birthday has not yet passed. While the LifePay Plus rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, withdrawals in a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will reduce the LifePay Plus Base dollar-for-dollar. This status will then continue until the earliest of:
 
Quarterly Contract anniversary following the youngest active spouse’s 65th birthday, provided the Contract Owner does not decline the change to Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status;
 
Reduction of the Joint LifePay Plus Base to zero, at which time the rider will terminate;
 
The annuity commencement date;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below);
 
The surrender or annuitization of the Contract; or
 
The death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners; Annuitant, in the case of a non-natural person owner), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
Please note that withdrawals while the LifePay Plus rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status are not guaranteed for the lifetime of the Annuitant.





I-23


Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date of the first withdrawal, provided the quarterly Contract anniversary following the youngest active spouse’s 65th birthday has passed. If the first withdrawal is taken prior to this date, then the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status will automatically begin on the quarterly Contract anniversary following the youngest active spouse’s 65th birthday. This status continues until the earliest of:
 
The annuity commencement date;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status,” below);
 
The surrender of the Contract; or
 
The death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners, or the Annuitant, in the case of a custodial IRA), unless your active spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
You will receive prior notice, of not less than 30 days, if you are in the Guaranteed Withdrawal Status and become eligible for the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This notice will explain the change, its impact to you and your options. You may decline this change. Automatic reset into the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status could result in a lower Maximum Annual Withdrawal. However, this action will also apply to all future resets (see below) and cannot be reversed. As described below, certain features of the Joint LifePay Plus rider may differ depending upon whether you are in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.
How the Joint LifePay Plus Rider Works. The Joint LifePay Plus rider has two phases. The first phase, called the Growth Phase, begins on the effective date of the Joint LifePay Plus rider and ends as of the business day before the first withdrawal is taken (or when the annuity commencement date is reached). The second phase is called the Withdrawal Phase. This phase begins as of the date you take the first withdrawal of any kind under the Contract (other than advisory fees, as described below), or the annuity commencement date, whichever occurs first.
Benefits paid under the Joint LifePay Plus rider require the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Joint LifePay Plus Base (referred to as the “MGWB Base” in the Contract) is used to determine the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and is calculated as follows:
 
If you purchased the Joint LifePay Plus rider on the Contract Date, the initial Joint LifePay Plus Base is equal to the initial premium (excluding any credit on the premium, or Premium Credit, available with your Contract); or
 
If you purchased the Joint LifePay Plus rider after the Contract Date, the initial Joint LifePay Plus Base is equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the Joint LifePay Plus rider (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months).
During the Growth Phase, the initial Joint LifePay Plus Base is increased dollar-for-dollar by any premiums received, excluding any credits on premiums, or Premium Credits, applied to your Contract during the preceding 36 months (“eligible premiums”). In addition, on each quarterly Contract anniversary, the Joint LifePay Plus Base is recalculated as the greater of:
 
The current Joint LifePay Plus Base; and
 
The current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation). This is referred to as a quarterly “ratchet.”
Also, on each of the first ten Contract anniversaries, the Joint LifePay Plus Base is recalculated as the greatest of:
 
The current Joint LifePay Plus Base;
 
The current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation); and
 
The Joint LifePay Plus Base on the previous Contract anniversary, increased by 7%, plus any eligible premiums and minus any third-party investment advisory fees paid from your Contract during the year. This is referred to as an annual “step-up.” (Any Premium Credits applied during the prior 36 months are excluded from the eligible premiums with a step-up.)
Please note that if this rider is added after the Contract Date, then the first opportunity for a step-up will be on the first Contract anniversary following a complete Contract Year after the Rider Date.
The Joint LifePay Plus Base has no additional impact on the calculation of annuity payments or withdrawal benefits.
Currently, any additional premiums paid during the Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums for purposes of determining the Joint LifePay Plus Base or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal; however, we reserve the right to treat such premiums as eligible premiums at our discretion, in a nondiscriminatory manner. Premiums received during the Withdrawal Phase do increase the Contract Value used to determine the reset Maximum Annual Withdrawal under the benefit reset feature of the Joint LifePay Plus rider (see “Joint LifePay Plus Reset,” below). We reserve the right to discontinue allowing premium payments during the Withdrawal Phase.





I-24


Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is determined on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins. It equals the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage multiplied by the greater of the Contract Value and the Joint LifePay Plus Base, as of the last day of the Growth Phase. The first withdrawal after the effective date of the Joint LifePay Plus rider (which causes the end of the Growth Phase) is treated as occurring on the first day of the Withdrawal Phase, immediately after calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage, which varies by age of the youngest active spouse on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, is as follows:
Youngest Active
Spouse’s Age
Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Percentage
0 to 75*
5%*
76 to 80
6%
81+
7%


 
*
If the Withdrawal Phase begins before the quarterly Contract anniversary on or after the younger spouse reaches age 65, withdrawals in a Contract Year up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will reduce the Joint LifePay Plus Base dollar-for-dollar, under what we refer to as the “Standard Withdrawal Benefit.” Then, on the quarterly Contract anniversary on or after the younger spouse reaches age 65, the Joint LifePay Plus Base will automatically be reset to the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the preceding 36 months), if greater, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be recalculated.
Once determined the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage never changes for the Contract. This is important to keep in mind in deciding when to take your first withdrawal because the younger you are at that time, the lower the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage.
If the Contract’s annuity commencement date is reached while you are in the LifePay Plus rider’s Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, then you may elect a life only annuity option, in lieu of the Contract’s other annuity options, under which we will pay the greater of the annuity payout under the Contract and equal annual payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, provided that, if both spouses are active, payments under the life only annuity option will be calculated using the joint life expectancy table for both spouses. If only one spouse is active, payments will be calculated using the single life expectancy table for the active spouse.
Withdrawals in a Contract Year that do not exceed the Maximum Withdrawal Amount do not reduce the Maximum Withdrawal Amount. However, if withdrawals in any Contract Year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (an “excess withdrawal”), the Joint LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced proportionally. This means that both the Joint LifePay Plus Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced by the same proportion as the excess withdrawal is of the Contract Value determined after the deduction the amount withdrawn up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal but before deduction of the excess withdrawal.
When a withdrawal is made, the total withdrawals taken in a Contract Year are compared with the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal. To the extent that the withdrawal taken causes the total withdrawals in that year to exceed the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal, that withdrawal is considered excess. For purposes of determining whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded, any applicable Premium Credit deduction, Market Value Adjustment or surrender charges will not be considered. However, for purposes of determining the Maximum Annual Withdrawal reduction after an excess withdrawal, any Premium Credit deduction, surrender charges and/or Market Value Adjustment are considered to be part of the withdrawal, and will be included in the proportional adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. See Illustrations 1 and 2 below for examples of this concept.















I-25


Required Minimum Distributions. Withdrawals taken from the Contract to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code are considered withdrawals for purposes of the Joint LifePay Plus rider and will begin the Withdrawal Phase if the Withdrawal Phase has not already started. Any such withdrawal which exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for a specific Contract Year will not be deemed excess withdrawals in that Contract Year for purposes of the Joint LifePay Plus rider, subject to the following:
 
If the Contract Owner’s Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before December 31 of that year), applicable to the Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
You may withdraw the Additional Withdrawal Amount from this Contract without it being deemed an excess withdrawal;
 
Any withdrawals taken in a Contract Year will count first against the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that Contract Year;
 
Once the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract Year has been taken, additional amounts withdrawn in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will count first against and reduce any unused Additional Withdrawal Amount for the previous calendar year followed by any Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current Contract Year;
 
Withdrawals that exceed all available Additional Withdrawal Amounts are excess withdrawals and will reduce the Maximum Annual Withdrawal proportionally, as described above;
 
The Additional Withdrawal Amount is reset to zero at the end of the second calendar year from which it was originally calculated; and
 
If the Contract is still in the Growth Phase on the date the Additional Withdrawal Amount is determined, but enters the Withdrawal Phase later during that calendar year, the Additional Withdrawal Amount will be equal to the amount in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount necessary to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution for that year (if any).
See Illustration 3 below.
Investment Advisory Fees. Withdrawals taken pursuant to a program established by the owner for the payment of investment advisory fees to a named third party investment adviser for advice on management of the Contract’s values will not cause the Withdrawal Phase to begin. During the Growth Phase such withdrawals reduce the Joint LifePay Plus Base on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and during the Withdrawal Phase these withdrawals are treated as any other withdrawal.
Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal while the rider is in Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the rider will enter Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are entitled to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, until the remaining Joint LifePay Plus Base is exhausted.
When the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:
The Contract will provide no further benefits other than as provided under the Joint LifePay Plus rider;
No further premium payments will be accepted; and
Any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
During Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will continue until the Joint LifePay Plus Base is reduced to zero, at which time the rider will terminate without value.
The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract Year following the date the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter. If, at the time the rider enters Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract Year or Contract Year, as applicable.
Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and the Joint LifePay Plus rider will terminate due to the proportional reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,” above.
If the Contract Value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal while the Joint LifePay Plus rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the Joint LifePay Plus rider will enter Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the Joint LifePay Plus rider you will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
When the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:


I-26


The Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the Joint LifePay Plus rider;
No further premium payments will be accepted; and
Any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The time period for which we will make these payments will depend upon whether one or two spouses are active under the Joint LifePay Plus rider at the time this status begins. If both spouses are active under the Joint LifePay Plus rider, these payments will cease upon the death of the second spouse, at which time both the Joint LifePay Plus rider and the Contract will terminate without further value. If only one spouse is active under the Joint LifePay Plus rider, the payments will cease upon the death of the active spouse, at which time both the Joint LifePay Plus rider and the Contract will terminate without value.
If the Maximum Annual Withdrawal exceeds the net withdrawals taken in the Contract Year when the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status (including the withdrawal that results in the Contract Value decreasing to zero), that difference will be paid immediately to the Contract Owner. The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract Year following the date the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.
You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a systematic withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the Contract Value will be withdrawn from your Contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at the time the Joint LifePay Plus rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract Year or Contract Year, as applicable.
Joint LifePay Plus Reset. Once the Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status begins and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been determined, on each quarterly Contract anniversary we will increase (or “reset”) the Joint LifePay Plus Base to the current Contract Value (excluding any Premium Credits applied during the 36 months preceding the calculation), if the Contract Value is higher. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal will also be recalculated, and the remaining portion of the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be available for withdrawal immediately. This reset ONLY occurs when the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, and is automatic.
We reserve the right to change the charge for this rider with a reset. In this event, you will receive prior notice, of not less than 30 days, which explains the change, its impact to you and your options. You may decline this change (and the reset). However, this action will apply to all future resets and cannot be reversed.
Investment Option Restrictions. In order to mitigate the insurance risk inherent in our guarantee to provide you and your spouse with lifetime payments (subject to the terms and restrictions of the Joint LifePay Plus rider), we require that your Contract Value be allocated in accordance with certain limitations. In general, to the extent that you choose not to invest in the Accepted Funds, we require that 20% of the amount not so invested be invested in the Fixed Allocation Funds. We will require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to the Contract, as described below.
While the Joint LifePay Plus rider is in effect, there are limits on the portfolios to which your Contract Value may be allocated. Contract Value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least 20% of such Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds. See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing,” below.
Accepted Funds. The currently available Accepted Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract Value allocated to such investment funds after the date of the change.
Fixed Allocation Funds. The currently available Fixed Allocation Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
Other Funds. All funds available under the Contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.




I-27


Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is less than 20% of the total Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any Joint LifePay Plus Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that 20% of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done proportionally among the Other Funds and will be the last transaction processed on that date. The Joint LifePay Plus Rebalancing Dates occur on each Contract anniversary and after the following transactions:
 
Receipt of additional premiums;
 
Transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
 
Withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.”
In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in them. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the Joint LifePay Plus rider if you do not wish to have your Contract Value reallocated in this manner.
Divorce. Generally, in the event of a divorce, the spouse who retains ownership of the Contract will continue to be entitled to all rights and benefits of the Joint LifePay Plus rider, while the ex-spouse will no longer have any such rights or be entitled to any such benefits. In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the Joint LifePay Plus rider continues, and terminates upon the death of the owner (first owner in the case of joint owners, or the Annuitant in the case of a custodial IRA). Although spousal continuation may be available under the Tax Code for a subsequent spouse, the Joint LifePay Plus rider cannot be continued by the new spouse. As the result of the divorce, we may be required to withdraw assets for the benefit of an ex-spouse. Any such withdrawal will be considered a withdrawal for purposes of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. In other words, if a withdrawal incident to a divorce exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, it will be considered an excess withdrawal. See “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,” above. As noted, in the event of a divorce there is no change to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, and we will continue to deduct charges for the Joint LifePay Plus rider.
In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, there will be no change to the periodic payments made. Payments will continue until both spouses are deceased.
Death of Owner. The death of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner, or for custodial IRAs, the Annuitant) may cause the termination of the Joint LifePay Plus rider and its charges, depending upon whether one or both spouses are in active status at the time of death, as described below:
 
If both spouses are in active status: If the surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code, and becomes the sole owner and Annuitant, the Joint LifePay Plus rider will remain in effect pursuant to its original terms and Joint LifePay Plus coverage and charges will continue. As of the date the Contract is continued, the Joint LifePay Plus Base will be reset to the current Contact value, if greater, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be recalculated as the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage multiplied by the new Joint LifePay Plus Base on the date the Contract is continued. However, under no circumstances will this recalculation result in a reduction to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
   
If the surviving spouse elects not to continue the Contract, Joint LifePay Plus rider coverage and charges will cease upon the earlier of payment of the death benefit or notice that an alternative distribution option has been chosen.
 
If the surviving spouse is in inactive status: The Joint LifePay Plus rider terminates and Joint LifePay Plus coverage and charges cease upon the date of death of the last Active Spouse.










I-28


Change of Owner or Annuitant. Other than as a result of spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code, you may not change the Annuitant. The Joint LifePay Plus rider and rider charges will terminate upon change of owner, including adding an additional owner, except for the following ownership changes:
 
Spousal continuation by an active spouse, as described above;
 
Change of owner from one custodian to another custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
 
Change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual (in order to avoid the owner’s spouse from being designated inactive, the owner’s spouse must be named sole beneficiary under the Contract);
 
Change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
 
Collateral assignments;
 
For nonqualified Contracts only, the addition of a joint owner, provided that the additional joint owner is the original owner’s spouse and is active when added as joint owner;
 
For nonqualified Contracts, removal of a joint owner, provided the removed joint owner is active and becomes the primary Contract beneficiary; and
 
Change of owner where the owner becomes the sole primary beneficiary and the sole primary beneficiary becomes the owner if both were active spouses at the time of the change.
Surrender Charges. If you elect the Joint LifePay Plus rider, your withdrawals will be subject to surrender charges if they exceed the Free Withdrawal Amount. However, once your Contract Value is zero, the periodic payments under the Joint LifePay Plus rider are not subject to surrender charges, nor will these amounts be subject to any other charges under the Contract.
Federal Tax Considerations. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the Joint LifePay Plus rider, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits.”
LifePay Plus and Joint LifePay Plus Partial Withdrawal Amount Examples. The following are examples of adjustments to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal:
Illustration 1: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including surrender and/or MVA charges.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $500 of surrender charges, and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $300 of surrender charges, and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $200 of surrender charges, and/or MVA charges. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, then there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Total gross withdrawals during the Contract Year are $7,000 ($3,000 + $500 + $1,500 + $300 + $1,500 + $200). The adjustment is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal ($7,000 - $5,000 = $2,000), and the amount of the current gross withdrawal ($1,500 + $200 = $1,700).
If the Contract Value before this withdrawal is $50,000, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 3.40% ($1,700 / $50,000) to $4,830 ((1 - 3.40%) * $5,000).
Illustration 2: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA charges. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.



 
I-29
 


Total gross withdrawals during the Contract Year are $6,000 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $1,500). The adjustment is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000, and the amount of the current gross withdrawal, $1,500.
If the Contract Value after the part of the gross withdrawal that was within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $500, is $49,500, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 2.02% ($1,000 / $49,500) to $4,899 ((1 - 2.02%) * $5,000).
Illustration 3: A withdrawal exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount but does not exceed the Additional Withdrawal Amount.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. The Required Minimum Distribution for the current calendar year applicable to this Contract is determined to be $6,000. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of this amount above the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000).
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, and/or MVA charges. Total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, however, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not adjusted until the Additional Withdrawal Amount is exhausted. The amount by which total net withdrawals taken exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000), is the same as the Additional Withdrawal Amount, so no adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is made. If total net withdrawals taken had exceeded the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount, then an adjustment would be made to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Illustration 4: The Reset Occurs.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000 and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage is 5%.
One year after the first withdrawal is taken, the Contract Value has increased to $120,000, and the Reset occurs. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now $6,000 ($120,000 * 5%).
One year after the Reset, the Contract Value has increased further to $130,000. The Reset occurs again, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now $6,500 ($130,000 * 5%).

APPENDIX J
LifePay and Joint LifePay
(Available for Contracts issued through August 20, 2007,
subject to state approval.)
LifePay Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“LifePay”) Rider. The LifePay rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of the Annuitant, even if these withdrawals deplete your Contract Value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are concerned that you may outlive your income.
Purchase. In order to elect the LifePay rider, the Annuitant must be the owner or one of the owners, unless the owner is a non-natural owner. Joint Annuitants are not allowed. The minimum issue age is 50 and the maximum issue age is 80. The issue age is the age of the owner (or the Annuitant if there are joint owners or the owner is non-natural) on the Contract anniversary on which the rider is effective. Some broker dealers may limit the availability of the rider to younger ages. The LifePay rider will not be issued if the initial allocation to investment options is not in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,” below. The Company in its discretion may allow the rider to be elected during the 30-day period preceding a Contract anniversary. Such election must be received in good order, including compliance with the investment restrictions described below. The rider will be effective as of that Contract anniversary.
Rider Date. The Rider Date is the date the LifePay rider becomes effective. If you purchase the LifePay rider when the Contract is issued, the Rider Date is also the Contract Date.
Charge. The charge for the LifePay rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly and is a percentage of Contract Value:
Maximum Annual Charge
Current Annual Charge
1.20%
0.50%
We deduct the quarterly charge in arrears based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter from the Contract Date. If the rider is added after Contract issue, the charges will still be deducted on quarterly Contract anniversaries, but the first charge will be assessed proportionately based on what is owed at the time the rider is added through the Contract quarter end. Similarly, the charge is assessed proportionately based on what is owed at the time the rider is terminated. Charges are deducted during the period starting on the Rider Date and up to your rider’s Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs if your Contract Value is reduced to zero and other conditions are met. The charge may be subject to change if you elect the reset option after your first five Contract Years, but subject to the maximum annual charge.
If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. But currently, a Market Value Adjustment would not apply when this charge is deducted from a Fixed Interest Allocation. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C.
We reserve the right to change the charge for this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. If changed, the new charge will only apply to riders issued after the change.
No Cancellation. Once you purchase the LifePay rider, you may not cancel it unless you cancel the Contract during the Contract’s free look period, surrender, annuitize or otherwise terminate the Contract. These events automatically cancel the LifePay rider.
Termination. The LifePay rider is a “living benefit” which means the guaranteed benefits offered are intended to be available to you while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you:
 
Annuitize, surrender or otherwise terminate your Contract during the accumulation phase; or
 
Die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die if there are multiple Contract Owners, or death of Annuitant if the Contract Owner is not a natural person), unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
The LifePay rider will also terminate if there is a change in Contract ownership (other than a spousal beneficiary continuation on your death). Other circumstances that may cause the LifePay rider to terminate automatically are discussed below.



J-1


Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date the rider is issued (the “effective date of the rider”) and continues until the earliest of:
 
The Annuity Start Date;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” below);
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
The surrender or annuitization of the Contract; or
 
The death of the owner, or first owner, in the case of joint owners, unless your spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
As described below, certain features of the LifePay rider may differ depending upon whether you are in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.
How the LifePay Rider Works. The LifePay Withdrawal Benefit rider has two phases. The first phase, called the Growth Phase, begins on the effective date of the rider and ends as of the business day before the first withdrawal is taken (or when the Annuity Start Date is reached). The second phase is called the Withdrawal Phase. This phase begins as of the date of the first withdrawal or the Annuity Start Date, whichever occurs first.
Benefits paid under the LifePay rider require the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The LifePay Base (referred to as the “MGWB Base” in the Contract) is used to determine the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and is calculated as follows:
 
If you purchased the LifePay rider on the Contract Date, the initial LifePay Base is equal to the initial premium, plus Premium Credits, if applicable; or
 
If you purchased the LifePay rider after the Contract Date, the initial LifePay Base is equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the rider.
The initial LifePay Base is increased dollar-for-dollar by any premiums received during the Growth Phase and Premium Credits, if applicable (“eligible premiums”). The LifePay Base is also increased to equal the Contract Value if the Contract Value is greater than the current LifePay Base, on each Contract quarterly anniversary after the effective date of the rider and during the Growth Phase. The LifePay Base has no additional impact on the calculation of annuity payments or withdrawal benefits.
Currently, any additional premiums paid during the Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums for purposes of determining the LifePay Base or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal; however, we reserve the right to treat such premiums as eligible premiums at our discretion, in a nondiscriminatory manner. Premiums received during the Withdrawal Phase do increase the Contract Value used to determine the reset Maximum Annual Withdrawal if you choose to reset the LifePay rider (see “LifePay Reset Option,” below). We reserve the right to discontinue allowing premium payments during the Withdrawal Phase.
Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is determined on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins. It equals a percentage of the greater of: (1) the Contract Value; and (2) the LifePay Base as of the last day of the Growth Phase. The first withdrawal after the effective date of the rider (which causes the end of the Growth Phase) is treated as occurring on the first day of the Withdrawal Phase, after calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage, which varies by age of the Annuitant on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, is as follows:
Annuitant Age
Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Percentage
50 to 59
4%
60 to 75
5%
76 to 80
6%
81+
7%
Once determined, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage never changes for the Contract, except as provided for under spousal continuation. See “Continuation After Death – Spouse” below. This is important to keep in mind in deciding when to take your first withdrawal because the younger you are at that time, the lower the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage.
If the rider is in the Growth Phase, and the Annuity Start Date is reached, the rider will enter the Withdrawal Phase and will be annuitized. In lieu of the annuity options under the Contract, you may elect a life only annuity option under which we will pay the greater of the annuity payout under the Contract and equal annual payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.





                     
J-2
   


If withdrawals in any Contract Year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced proportionally. This means that the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced by the same proportion as the withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (the “excess withdrawal”) is of the Contract Value determined:
 
Before the withdrawal, for the excess withdrawal; and
 
After the withdrawal, for the amount withdrawn up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (without regard to the excess withdrawal).
When a withdrawal is made, the total withdrawals taken in a Contract Year are compared with the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal. To the extent that the withdrawal taken causes the total withdrawals in that year to exceed the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal, that withdrawal is considered excess. For purposes of determining whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded, any applicable Market Value Adjustment or surrender charges will not be applied to the withdrawal. However, for purposes of determining the Maximum Annual Withdrawal reduction after an excess withdrawal, any surrender charges and/or Market Value Adjustment are considered to be part of the withdrawal. See Illustrations 1 and 2 below for examples of this concept.
Required Minimum Distributions. Withdrawals taken from the Contract to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code, that exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for a specific Contract Year, will not be deemed excess withdrawals in that Contract Year for purposes of the LifePay rider, subject to the following rules:
 
If your Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before December 31 of that year), applicable to this Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
You may withdraw the Additional Withdrawal Amount from this Contract without it being deemed an excess withdrawal;
 
Any withdrawals taken in a Contract Year will count first against the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that Contract Year;
 
Once the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract Year has been taken, additional amounts withdrawn in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will count against and reduce any Additional Withdrawal Amount;
 
Withdrawals that exceed the Additional Withdrawal Amount are excess withdrawals and will reduce the Maximum Annual Withdrawal proportionally, as described above;
 
The Additional Withdrawal Amount is reset to zero at the end of each calendar year, and remains at zero until it is reset in January of the following calendar year, even if, pursuant to the Tax Code, the Contract Owner may take a Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year after the end of the calendar year; and
 
If the Contract is still in the Growth Phase on the date the Additional Withdrawal Amount is determined, but enters the Withdrawal Phase later during that calendar year, the Additional Withdrawal Amount will be equal to the amount in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal necessary to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution for that year (if any).
See Illustration 3 below.
Investment Advisory Fees. Withdrawals taken pursuant to a program established by the owner for the payment of investment advisory fees to a named third party investment adviser for advice on management of the Contract’s values will not cause the Withdrawal Phase to begin. During the Growth Phase such withdrawals reduce the LifePay Base proportionally, and during the Withdrawal Phase these withdrawals are treated as any other withdrawal.
Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and the rider will terminate due to the proportional reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,” above.
If the Contract Value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal while the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the rider will enter Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are entitled to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
When the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:
The Contract will provide no further benefits other than as provided under the LifePay rider;
No further premium payments will be accepted; and
Any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. These payments will cease upon the death of the Annuitant at which time both the rider and the Contract will terminate. The rider will remain in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status until it terminates without value upon the Annuitant’s death.





J-3


The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract Year following the date the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter. If, at the time the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract Year or Contract Year, as applicable.
LifePay Reset Option. Beginning one year after the Withdrawal Phase begins, you may choose to reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, if the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage of the Contract Value would be greater than your current Maximum Annual Withdrawal. You must elect to reset by a request in a form satisfactory to us. On the date the request is received (the “Reset Effective Date”), the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will increase to be equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Percentage of the Contract Value on the Reset Effective Date. The reset option is only available when the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.
After exercising the reset option, you must wait one year before electing to reset again. We will not accept a request to reset if the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal on the date the request is received would be less than your current Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
If the reset option is exercised, the charge for the LifePay rider will be equal to the charge then in effect for a newly purchased rider but will not exceed the maximum annual charge of 1.20%. However, we guarantee that the rider charge will not increase for resets exercised within the first five Contract Years. See Illustration 4 below.
Investment Option Restrictions. While the LifePay rider is in effect, there are limits on the funds to which your Contract Value may be allocated. Contract Value allocated to funds other than Accepted Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least 20% of such Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds. See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing” below.
Accepted Funds. The currently available Accepted Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract Value allocated to such investment funds after the date of the change.
Fixed Allocation Funds. The currently available Fixed Allocation Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
If the rider is not continued under the spousal continuation right when available, the Fixed Allocation Fund will be reclassified as a Special Fund as of the Contract continuation date if it would otherwise be designated as a Special Fund for purposes of the Contract’s death benefits. For purposes of calculating any applicable death benefit guaranteed under the Contract, any allocation of Contract Value to the Fixed Allocation Funds will be considered a Covered Fund allocation while the rider is in effect.
Other Funds. All funds available under the Contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is less than 20% of the total Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any LifePay Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that 20% of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done proportionally among the Other Funds and will be the last transaction processed on that date. The LifePay Rebalancing Dates occur on each Contract anniversary and after the following transactions:
 
Receipt of additional premiums;
 
Transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
 
Withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.”




J-4


In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in them. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I. By electing to purchase the LifePay rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the LifePay rider if you do not wish to have your Contract Value reallocated in this manner.
Death of Owner or Annuitant. The LifePay rider and charges terminate on the earlier of:
 
If the rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal status, the date of receipt of due proof of death (“Claim Date”) of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner) or the Annuitant if there is a non-natural owner; or
 
The date the rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit status.
Continuation After Death – Spouse. If the surviving spouse of the deceased owner continues the Contract, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code (see “DEATH BENEFIT CHOICES – Continuation After Death – Spouse”), the rider will also continue, provided the following conditions are met:
The spouse is at least 50 years old on the date the Contract is continued; and
The spouse becomes the Annuitant and sole owner.
If the rider is in the Growth Phase at the time of spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code:
 
The rider will continue in the Growth Phase;
 
On the date the rider is continued, the LifePay Base will be reset to equal the greater of the LifePay Base and the then current Contract Value;
 
The LifePay charges will restart and be the same as were in effect prior to the Claim Date; and
 
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage will be determined as of the date of the first withdrawal, whenever it occurs, and will be based on the spouse’s age on that date.
If the rider is in the Withdrawal Phase at the time of spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code:
 
The rider will continue in the Withdrawal Phase;
 
On the Contract anniversary following the date the rider is continued:
 
If the surviving spouse was not the Annuitant before the owner’s death, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated by multiplying the Contract Value on that Contract anniversary by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage based on the surviving spouse’s age on that Contract anniversary, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is considered to be zero from the Claim Date to that Contract anniversary. Withdrawals are permitted pursuant to the other provisions of the Contract. Withdrawals causing the Contract Value to fall to zero will terminate the Contract and the rider; or
 
If the surviving spouse was the Annuitant before the owner’s death, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is recalculated as the greater of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on the Claim Date (adjusted for excess withdrawals thereafter) and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal resulting from multiplying the Contract Value on that Contract anniversary by the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal does not go to zero on the Claim Date and withdrawals may continue under the rider provisions; and
 
The rider charges will restart on the Contract anniversary following the date the rider is continued and will be the same as were in effect prior to the Claim Date.
Effect of LifePay Rider on Death Benefit. If you die before Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status begins under the LifePay rider, the death benefit is payable, but the rider terminates. However, if the beneficiary is the owner’s spouse, and the spouse elects to continue the Contract, the death benefit is not payable until the spouse’s death. Thus, you should not purchase this rider with multiple owners, unless the owners are spouses. See “Death of Owner or Annuitant” and “Continuation After Death – Spouse” above for further information.
While in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if the owner who is not the Annuitant dies, we will continue to pay the periodic payments that the owner was receiving under the LifePay rider until the death of the Annuitant. While in Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if an owner who is also the Annuitant dies, the periodic payments will stop. No other death benefit is payable.











J-5


Change of Owner or Annuitant. Other than as provided above under “Continuation After Death- Spouse,” you may not change the Annuitant. The rider and rider charges will terminate upon change of owner, including adding an additional owner, except for the following ownership changes:
 
Spousal continuation as described above;
 
Change of owner from one custodian to another custodian;
 
Change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual;
 
Change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
 
Collateral assignments;
 
Change in trust as owner where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual;
 
Change of owner from an individual to a trust where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual; and
 
Change of owner from a trust to an individual where the individual owner and the grantor of the trust are the same individual.
Surrender Charges. If you elect the LifePay rider, your withdrawals will be subject to surrender charges if they exceed the Free Withdrawal Amount. However, once your Contract Value is zero, the periodic payments under the LifePay rider are not subject to surrender charges.
Loans. The portion of any Contract Value used to pay off an outstanding loan balance will reduce the LifePay Base or Maximum Annual Withdrawal as applicable. We do not recommend the LifePay rider if loans are contemplated.
Taxation. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the LifePay Rider, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits.”
Joint LifePay Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit (“Joint LifePay”) Rider. The Joint LifePay rider generally provides, subject to the restrictions and limitations below, that we will guarantee a minimum level of annual withdrawals from the Contract for the lifetime of both you and your spouse, even if these withdrawals deplete your Contract Value to zero. You may wish to purchase this rider if you are married and are concerned that you and your spouse may outlive your income.
Purchase. The Joint LifePay rider is only available for purchase by individuals who are married at the time of purchase and eligible to elect spousal continuation (as defined by the Tax Code) when the death benefit becomes payable. We refer to these individuals as spouses. Certain ownership, Annuitant, and beneficiary designations are required in order to purchase the Joint LifePay rider. See “Ownership, Annuitant, and Beneficiary Requirements” below.
The minimum issue age is 55 and the maximum issue age is 80. Both spouses must meet these issue age requirements on the Contract anniversary on which the Joint LifePay rider is effective. The issue age is the age of the owners on the Contract anniversary on which the rider is effective. Some broker dealers may limit the maximum issue age to ages younger than age 80, but in no event lower than age 55. We reserve the right to change the minimum or maximum issue ages on a nondiscriminatory basis. The Joint LifePay rider will not be issued if the initial allocation to investment options is not in accordance with the investment option restrictions described in “Investment Option Restrictions,” below. The Company in its discretion may allow the Joint LifePay rider to be elected during the 30-day period preceding a Contract anniversary. Such election must be received in good order, including owner, Annuitant, and beneficiary designations and in compliance with the investment restrictions described below. The Joint LifePay rider will be effective as of that Contract anniversary.
Ownership, Annuitant, and Beneficiary Designation Requirements. Certain ownership, Annuitant, and beneficiary designations are required in order to purchase the Joint LifePay rider. These designations depend upon whether the Contract is issued as a nonqualified Contract, an IRA or a custodial IRA. In all cases, the ownership, Annuitant, and beneficiary designations must allow for the surviving spouse to continue the Contract when the death benefit becomes payable, as provided by the Tax Code. Non-natural, custodial owners are only allowed with IRAs (“custodial IRAs”). Joint Annuitants are not allowed. The necessary ownership, Annuitant, and/or beneficiary designations are described below. Applications that do not meet the requirements below will be rejected. We reserve the right to verify the date of birth and social security number of both spouses.
Nonqualified Contracts. For a jointly owned Contract, the owners must be spouses, and the Annuitant must be one of the owners. For a Contract with only one owner, the owner’s spouse must be the sole primary beneficiary and the Annuitant must be one of the spouses.
IRAs. There may only be one owner, who must also be the Annuitant. The owner’s spouse must be the sole primary beneficiary.
Custodial IRAs. While we do not maintain individual owner and beneficiary designations for IRAs held by an outside custodian, the ownership and beneficiary designations with the custodian must comply with the requirements listed in “IRAs” above. The Annuitant must be the same as the beneficial owner of the custodial IRA. We require the custodian to provide us the name and date of birth of both the owner and the owner’s spouse.

J-6


Rider Date. The Joint LifePay Rider Date is the date the Joint LifePay rider becomes effective. If you purchase the Joint LifePay rider when the Contract is issued, the Joint LifePay Rider Date is also the Contract Date.
Charge. The charge for the Joint LifePay rider, a living benefit, is deducted quarterly, and is a percentage of Contract Value:
Maximum Annual Charge
Current Annual Charge
1.50%
0.75%
We deduct the quarterly charge in arrears based on the Contract Date (Contract Year versus calendar year). In arrears means the first charge is deducted at the end of the first quarter from the Contract Date. If the rider is added after Contract issue, the charges will still be deducted on quarterly Contract anniversaries, but the first charge will be assessed proportionately based on what is owed at the time the rider is added through the Contract quarter end. Similarly, the charge is assessed proportionately based on what is owed at the time the rider is terminated. Charges are deducted during the period starting on the Rider Date and up to your rider’s Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status occurs if your Contract Value is reduced to zero and other conditions are met. The charge may be subject to change if you elect the reset option after your first five Contract Years, but subject to the maximum annual charge.
If the Contract Value in the subaccounts is insufficient for the charge, then we deduct it from any Fixed Interest Allocations, in which case a Market Value Adjustment may apply. But currently, a Market Value Adjustment would not apply when this charge is deducted from a Fixed Interest Allocation. With Fixed Interest Allocations, we deduct the charge from the Fixed Interest Allocation having the nearest maturity. For more information about the Fixed Interest Allocation, including the Market Value Adjustment, please see APPENDIX C. We reserve the right to change the charge for this rider, subject to the maximum annual charge. If changed, the new charge will only apply to riders issued after the change.
No Cancellation. Once you purchase the Joint LifePay rider, you may not cancel it unless you cancel the Contract during the Contract’s free look period (or otherwise cancel the Contract pursuant to its terms), surrender or annuitize in lieu of payments under the Joint LifePay rider. These events automatically cancel the Joint LifePay rider.
Termination. The Joint LifePay rider is a “living benefit” which means the guaranteed benefits offered are intended to be available to you and your spouse while you are living and while your Contract is in the accumulation phase. The optional rider automatically terminates if you:
 
Terminate your Contract pursuant to its terms during the accumulation phase, surrender, or begin receiving annuity payments in lieu of payments under the Joint LifePay rider;
 
Die during the accumulation phase (first owner to die in the case of joint owners, or death of Annuitant if the Contract is a custodial IRA), unless your spouse elects to continue the Contract (and your spouse is active for purposes of the Joint LifePay rider); or
 
Change the owner of the Contract (other than a spousal continuation by an active spouse).
See “Change of Owner or Annuitant,” below. Other circumstances that may cause the Joint LifePay rider to terminate automatically are discussed below.
Active Status. Once the Joint LifePay rider has been issued, a spouse must remain in “active” status in order to exercise rights and receive the benefits of the Joint LifePay rider after the first spouse’s death by electing spousal continuation, if allowed under the requirements of the Tax Code. In general, changes to the ownership, Annuitant, and/or beneficiary designation requirements noted above will result in one spouse being designated as “inactive.” Inactive spouses are not eligible to continue the benefits of the Joint LifePay rider after the death of the other spouse. Once designated “inactive,” a spouse may not regain active status under the Joint LifePay rider. Specific situations that will result in a spouse’s designation as “inactive” include the following:
 
For nonqualified Contracts where the spouses are joint owners, the removal of a joint owner (if that spouse does not automatically become sole primary beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the Contract), or the change of one joint owner to a person other than an active spouse;
 
For nonqualified Contracts where one spouse is the owner and the other spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, as well as for IRA Contracts (including custodial IRAs), the addition of a joint owner who is not also an active spouse or any change of beneficiary (including the addition of primary beneficiaries); and
 
In the event of the death of one spouse (in which case the deceased spouse becomes inactive).
An owner may also request that one spouse be treated as inactive. In the case of joint-owned Contracts, both Contract Owners must agree to such a request. An inactive spouse is not eligible to exercise any rights or receive any benefits under the Joint LifePay rider. However, all charges for the Joint LifePay rider will continue to apply, even if one spouse becomes inactive, regardless of the reason. You should make sure you understand the impact of beneficiary and owner changes on the Joint LifePay rider prior to requesting any such changes.
A divorce will terminate the ability of an ex-spouse to continue the Contract. See “Divorce” below.

J-7


Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. This status begins on the date the Joint LifePay rider is issued (the “effective date of the Joint LifePay rider”) and continues until the earliest of:
 
The Annuity Start Date;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
Reduction of the Contract Value to zero by a withdrawal less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see “Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status” below);
 
The surrender of the Contract; or
 
The death of the owner (first owner, in the case of joint owners, or the Annuitant, in the case of a custodial IRA), unless your active spouse beneficiary elects to continue the Contract.
As described below, certain features of the Joint LifePay rider may differ depending upon whether you are in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status.
How the Joint LifePay Rider Works. The Joint LifePay rider has two phases. The first phase, called the Growth Phase, begins on the effective date of the Joint LifePay rider and ends as of the business day before the first withdrawal is taken (or when the Annuity Start Date is reached). The second phase is called the Withdrawal Phase. This phase begins as of the date you take the first withdrawal of any kind under the Contract (other than investment advisory fees, as described below) or the Annuity Start Date, whichever occurs first. During the accumulation phase of the Contract, the Joint LifePay rider may be in either the Growth Phase or the Withdrawal Phase. During the income phase of the Contract, the Joint LifePay rider may only be in the Withdrawal Phase. The Joint LifePay rider is initially in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. While in this status you may terminate the Joint LifePay rider by electing to enter the income phase and begin receiving annuity payments. However, if you have not elected to begin receiving annuity payments, and the Joint LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status because the Contract Value has been reduced to zero, the Joint Life Pay rider and Contract terminate (other than those provisions regarding the payment of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, as described below) and you can no longer elect to receive annuity payments.
Benefits paid under the Joint LifePay rider require the calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Joint LifePay Base (referred to as the “MGWB Base” in the Contract) is used to determine the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and is calculated as follows:
 
If you purchased the Joint LifePay rider on the Contract Date, the initial Joint LifePay Base is equal to the initial premium, plus Premium Credits, if applicable; or
 
If you purchased the Joint LifePay rider after the Contract Date, the initial Joint LifePay Base is equal to the Contract Value on the effective date of the Joint LifePay rider.
The initial Joint LifePay Base is increased dollar-for-dollar by any premiums received during the Growth Phase and Premium Credits, if applicable (“eligible premiums”). The Joint LifePay Base is also increased to equal the Contract Value if the Contract Value is greater than the current Joint LifePay Base, valued on each quarterly Contract anniversary after the effective date of the Joint LifePay rider during the Growth Phase. The Joint LifePay Base has no additional impact on the calculation of annuity payments or withdrawal benefits.
Currently, any additional premiums paid during the Withdrawal Phase are not eligible premiums for purposes of determining the Joint LifePay Base or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal; however, we reserve the right to treat such premiums as eligible premiums at our discretion, in a nondiscriminatory manner. Premiums received during the Withdrawal Phase do increase the Contract Value used to determine the reset Maximum Annual Withdrawal if you choose to reset the Joint LifePay rider (see “Joint LifePay Reset Option,” below). We reserve the right to discontinue allowing premium payments during the Withdrawal Phase.
Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is determined on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins. It equals the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage multiplied by the greater of the Contract Value and the Joint LifePay Base, as of the last day of the Growth Phase. The first withdrawal after the effective date of the Joint LifePay rider (which causes the end of the Growth Phase) is treated as occurring on the first day of the Withdrawal Phase, immediately after calculation of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage, which varies by age of the youngest active spouse on the date the Withdrawal Phase begins, is as follows:
Annuitant Age
Maximum Annual
Withdrawal Percentage
55 to 64
4%
65 to 75
5%
76 to 80
6%
81+
7%




J-8


Once determined the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage never changes for the Contract. This is important to keep in mind in deciding when to take your first withdrawal because the younger you are at that time, the lower the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage.
If the Joint LifePay rider is in the Growth Phase, and the Annuity Start Date is reached, the Joint LifePay rider will enter the Withdrawal Phase and annuity payments will begin. In lieu of the annuity options under the Contract, you may elect a life only annuity option under which we will pay the greater of the annuity payout under the Contract and equal annual payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, provided that, if both spouses are active, payments under the life only annuity option will be calculated using the joint life expectancy table for both spouses. If only one spouse is active, payments will be calculated using the single life expectancy table for the active spouse.
Withdrawals in a Contract Year that do not exceed the Maximum Withdrawal Amount do not reduce the Maximum Withdrawal Amount. However, if withdrawals in any Contract Year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (an “excess withdrawal”), the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced proportionally. This means that the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be reduced by the same proportion as the excess withdrawal is of the Contract Value determined after the deduction of the amount withdrawn up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal but before deduction of the excess withdrawal.
When a withdrawal is made, the total withdrawals taken in a Contract Year are compared with the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal. To the extent that the withdrawal taken causes the total withdrawals in that year to exceed the current Maximum Annual Withdrawal, that withdrawal is considered excess. For purposes of determining whether the Maximum Annual Withdrawal has been exceeded, any applicable Premium Credit deduction, Market Value Adjustment or surrender charges will not be considered. However, for purposes of determining the Maximum Annual Withdrawal reduction after an excess withdrawal, any Premium Credit deduction, surrender charges and/or Market Value Adjustment are considered to be part of the withdrawal, and will be included in the proportional adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. See Illustrations 1 and 2 below for examples of this concept.
Required Minimum Distributions. Withdrawals taken from the Contract to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution rules of the Tax Code are considered withdrawals for purposes of the Joint LifePay rider and will begin the Withdrawal Phase if the Withdrawal Phase has not already started. Any such withdrawal which exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for a specific Contract Year, will not be deemed excess withdrawals in that Contract Year for purposes of the Joint LifePay rider, subject to the following:
 
If the Contract Owner’s Required Minimum Distribution for a calendar year (determined on a date on or before December 31 of that year), applicable to the Contract, is greater than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal on that date, an Additional Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to that portion of the Required Minimum Distribution that exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal;
 
You may withdraw the Additional Withdrawal Amount from this Contract without it being deemed an excess withdrawal;
 
Any withdrawals taken in a Contract Year will count first against the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that Contract Year;
 
Once the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current Contract Year has been taken, additional amounts withdrawn in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will count against and reduce any Additional Withdrawal Amount;
 
Withdrawals that exceed the Additional Withdrawal Amount are excess withdrawals and will reduce the Maximum Annual Withdrawal proportionally, as described above;
 
The Additional Withdrawal Amount is reset to zero at the end of each calendar year, and remains at zero until it is reset in January of the following calendar year, even if, pursuant to the Tax Code, the Contract Owner may take a Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year after the end of the calendar year; and
 
If the Contract is still in the Growth Phase on the date the Additional Withdrawal Amount is determined, but enters the Withdrawal Phase later during that calendar year, the Additional Withdrawal Amount will be equal to the amount in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount necessary to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution for that year (if any).
See Illustration 3 below.
Investment Advisory Fees. Withdrawals taken pursuant to a program established by the owner for the payment of investment advisory fees to a named third party investment adviser for advice on management of the Contract’s values will not cause the Withdrawal Phase to begin. During the Growth Phase such withdrawals reduce the Joint LifePay Base proportionally, and during the Withdrawal Phase these withdrawals are treated as any other withdrawal.
Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero by a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, the Contract and the Joint LifePay rider will terminate due to the proportional reduction described in “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal” above.
If the Contract Value is reduced to zero for a reason other than a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal while the Joint LifePay rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the Joint LifePay rider will enter Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and you are no longer entitled to make withdrawals. Instead, under the Joint LifePay rider you will begin to receive periodic payments in an annual amount equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

J-9


When the Joint LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:
 
The Contract will provide no further benefits (including death benefits) other than as provided under the Joint LifePay rider;
 
No further premium payments will be accepted; and
 
Any other riders attached to the Contract will terminate, unless otherwise specified in that rider.
During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you periodic payments in an annual amount that is equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The time period for which we will make these payments will depend upon whether one or two spouses are active under the Joint LifePay rider at the time this status begins. If both spouses are active under the Joint LifePay rider, these payments will cease upon the death of the second spouse, at which time both the Joint LifePay rider and the Contract will terminate without further value. If only one spouse is active under the Joint LifePay rider, the payments will cease upon the death of the active spouse, at which time both the Joint LifePay rider and the Contract will terminate without value.
If the Maximum Annual Withdrawal exceeds the net withdrawals taken in the Contract Year when the Joint LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status (including the withdrawal that results in the Contract Value decreasing to zero), that difference will be paid immediately to the Contract Owner. The periodic payments will begin on the last day of the first full Contract Year following the date the Joint LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually thereafter.
You may elect to receive systematic withdrawals, pursuant to the terms of the Contract. Under a systematic withdrawal, either a fixed amount or an amount based upon a percentage of the Contract Value will be withdrawn from your Contract and paid to you on a scheduled basis, either monthly, quarterly or annually. If, at the time the Joint LifePay rider enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, you are receiving systematic withdrawals under the Contract more frequently than annually, the periodic payments will be made at the same frequency in equal amounts such that the sum of the payments in each Contract Year will equal the annual Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Such payments will be made on the same payment dates as previously set up, if the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments were being made semi-annually or annually, the payments will be made at the end of the half-Contract Year or Contract Year, as applicable.
Joint LifePay Reset Option. Beginning one year after the Withdrawal Phase begins, you may choose to reset the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, if the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage multiplied by the Contract Value would be greater than your current Maximum Annual Withdrawal. You must elect to reset by a request in a form satisfactory to us. On the date the request is received (the “Reset Effective Date”), the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will increase to be equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage multiplied by the Contract Value on the Reset Effective Date. The reset option is only available when the Joint LifePay rider is in Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. We reserve the right to limit resets to the Contract anniversary.
After exercising the reset option, you must wait one year before electing to reset again. We will not accept a request to reset if the new Maximum Annual Withdrawal on the date the request is received would be less than your current Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
If the reset option is exercised, the charge for the Joint LifePay rider will be equal to the charge then in effect for a newly purchased rider but will not exceed the maximum annual charge of 1.50%. However, we guarantee that the Joint LifePay rider charge will not increase for resets exercised within the first five Contract Years. See Illustration 4 below.
Investment Option Restrictions. In order to mitigate the insurance risk inherent in our guarantee to provide you and your spouse with lifetime payments (subject to the terms and restrictions of the Joint LifePay rider), we require that your Contract Value be allocated in accordance with certain limitations. In general, to the extent that you choose not to invest in the Accepted Funds, we require that 20% of the amount not so invested be invested in the Fixed Allocation Funds. We will require this allocation regardless of your investment instructions to the Contract, as described below.
While the Joint LifePay rider is in effect, there are limits on the funds to which your Contract Value may be allocated. Contract Value allocated to portfolios other than Accepted Funds will be rebalanced so as to maintain at least 20% of such Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds. See “Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing” below.
Accepted Funds. The currently available Accepted Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. We may change these designations at any time upon 30 days’ notice to you. If a change is made, the change will apply to Contract Value allocated to such investment funds after the date of the change.
Fixed Allocation Funds. The currently available Fixed Allocation Funds are listed in APPENDIX M. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Fixed Allocation Funds. We consider the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio to be the default Fixed Allocation Fund with Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.
Other Funds. All funds available under the Contract other than Accepted Funds or the Fixed Allocation Funds are considered Other Funds.

J-10


Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. If the Contract Value in the Fixed Allocation Funds is less than 20% of the total Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds on any Joint LifePay Rebalancing Date, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds and Other Funds so that 20% of this amount is allocated to the Fixed Allocation Funds. Accepted Funds are excluded from Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing. Any rebalancing is done proportionally among the Other Funds and will be the last transaction processed on that date. The Joint LifePay Rebalancing Dates occur on each Contract anniversary and after the following transactions:
 
Receipt of additional premiums;
 
Transfer or reallocation among the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds, whether automatic or specifically directed by you; and
 
Withdrawals from the Fixed Allocation Funds or Other Funds.
Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing is separate from any other automatic rebalancing under the Contract. However, if the other automatic rebalancing under the Contract causes the allocations to be out of compliance with the investment option restrictions noted above, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing will occur immediately after the automatic rebalancing to restore the required allocations. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing.”
In certain circumstances, Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing may result in a reallocation into the Fixed Allocation Funds even if you have not previously been invested in them. See “APPENDIX H – Examples of Fixed Allocation Funds Automatic Rebalancing, Example I.” By electing to purchase the Joint LifePay rider, you are providing the Company with direction and authorization to process these transactions, including reallocations into the Fixed Allocation Funds. You should not purchase the Joint LifePay rider if you do not wish to have your Contract Value reallocated in this manner.
Divorce. Generally, in the event of a divorce, the spouse who retains ownership of the Contract will continue to be entitled to all rights and benefits of the Joint LifePay rider, while the ex-spouse will no longer have any such rights or be entitled to any such benefits. In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status, the Joint LifePay rider continues, and terminates upon the death of the owner (first owner in the case of joint owners, or the Annuitant in the case of a custodial IRA). Although spousal continuation may be available under the Tax Code for a subsequent spouse, the Joint LifePay rider cannot be continued by the new spouse. As the result of the divorce, we may be required to withdraw assets for the benefit of an ex-spouse. Any such withdrawal will be considered a withdrawal for purposes of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. In other words, if a withdrawal incident to a divorce exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount, it will be considered an excess withdrawal. See “Determination of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal,” above. As noted, in the event of a divorce there is no change to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and we will continue to deduct charges for the Joint LifePay rider.
In the event of a divorce during Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, there will be no change to the periodic payments made. Payments will continue until both spouses are deceased.
Death of Owner. The death of the owner (or in the case of joint owners, the first owner, or for custodial IRAs, the Annuitant) during Lifetime Guaranteed Withdrawal Status may cause the termination of the Joint LifePay rider and its charges, depending upon whether one or both spouses are in active status at the time of death, as described below.
 
If both spouses are in active status: If the surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract and becomes the sole owner and Annuitant, the Joint LifePay rider will remain in effect pursuant to its original terms and Joint LifePay coverage and charges will continue. As of the date the Contract is continued, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal will be set to the greater of the existing Maximum Annual Withdrawal or the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage multiplied by the Contract Value on the date the Contract is continued. Such a reset will not count as an exercise of the Joint LifePay Reset Option, and rider charges will not increase.
   
If the surviving spouse elects not to continue the Contract, Joint LifePay rider coverage and charges will cease upon the earlier of payment of the death benefit or notice that an alternative distribution option has been chosen.
 
If the surviving spouse is in inactive status: The Joint LifePay rider terminates and Joint LifePay coverage and charges cease upon proof of death.











J-11


Change of Owner or Annuitant. Other than as a result of spousal continuation, you may not change the Annuitant. The Joint LifePay rider and rider charges will terminate upon change of owner, including adding an additional owner, except for the following ownership changes:
 
Spousal continuation by an active spouse, as described above;
 
Change of owner from one custodian to another custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
 
Change of owner from a custodian for the benefit of an individual to the same individual (in order to avoid the owner’s spouse from being designated inactive, the owner’s spouse must be named sole beneficiary under the Contract);
 
Change of owner from an individual to a custodian for the benefit of the same individual;
 
Collateral assignments;
 
For nonqualified Contracts only, the addition of a joint owner, provided that the additional joint owner is the original owner’s spouse and is active when added as joint owner;
 
For nonqualified Contracts, removal of a joint owner, provided the removed joint owner is active and becomes the primary Contract beneficiary; and
 
Change of owner where the owner becomes the sole primary beneficiary and the sole primary beneficiary becomes the owner if both were active spouses at the time of the change.
Surrender Charges. If you elect the Joint LifePay rider, your withdrawals will be subject to surrender charges if they exceed the Free Withdrawal Amount. However, once your Contract Value is zero, the periodic payments under the Joint LifePay rider are not subject to surrender charges, nor will these amounts be subject to any other charges under the Contract.
Federal Tax Considerations. For more information about the tax treatment of amounts paid to you under the Joint LifePay rider, see “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Tax Consequences of Living Benefits and Enhanced Death Benefits.”
LifePay and Joint LifePay Partial Withdrawal Amount Examples. The following are examples of adjustments to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for withdrawals in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal:
Illustration 1: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, including surrender and/or MVA charges.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $500 of surrender charges, Premium Credit deduction and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $300 of surrender charges, Premium Credit deduction and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $200 of surrender charges, Premium Credit deduction and/or MVA charges. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, then there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Total gross withdrawals during the Contract Year are $7,000 ($3,000 + $500 + $1,500 + $300 + $1,500 + $200). The adjustment is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal ($7,000 - $5,000 = $2,000), and the amount of the current gross withdrawal ($1,500 + $200 = $1,700).
If the Contract Value before this withdrawal is $50,000, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 3.40% ($1,700 / $50,000) to $4,830 ((1 - 3.40%) * $5,000).
Illustration 2: Adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount for a withdrawal in excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000.
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges, Premium Credit deduction and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, Premium Credit deduction and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.



J-12


The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, Premium Credit deduction and/or MVA charges. Because total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, there is an adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Total gross withdrawals during the Contract Year are $6,000 ($3,000 + $1,500 + $1,500). The adjustment is the lesser of the amount by which the total gross withdrawals for the year exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000, and the amount of the current gross withdrawal, $1,500.
If the Contract Value after the part of the gross withdrawal that was within the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $500, is $49,500, then the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is reduced by 2.02% ($1,000 / $49,500) to $4,899 ((1 - 2.02%) * $5,000).
Illustration 3: A withdrawal exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount but does not exceed the Additional Withdrawal Amount.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. The RMD for the current calendar year applicable to this Contract is determined to be $6,000. The Additional Withdrawal Amount is set equal to the excess of this amount above the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000).
The first withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $3,000 net, with $0 of surrender charges, Premium Credit deduction and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, Premium Credit deduction and/or MVA charges. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not exceeded because total net withdrawals, $4,500, do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000.
The next withdrawal taken during the Contract Year is $1,500 net, with $0 of surrender charges, Premium Credit deduction and/or MVA charges. Total net withdrawals taken, $6,000, exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $5,000, however, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is not adjusted until the Additional Withdrawal Amount is exhausted. The amount by which total net withdrawals taken exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000), is the same as the Additional Withdrawal Amount, so no adjustment to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is made. If total net withdrawals taken had exceeded the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount, then an adjustment would be made to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.
Illustration 4: The Reset Option is utilized.
Assume the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000 and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal percentage is 5%.
One year after the first withdrawal is taken, the Contract Value has increased to $120,000, and the Reset Option is utilized. The Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now $6,000 ($120,000 * 5%).
One year after the Reset Option was first utilized, the Contract Value has increased further to $130,000. The Reset Option is utilized again, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is now $6,500 ($130,000 * 5%).

APPENDIX K
Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit
(Applicable to Contracts issued in states where LifePay is not available.)
Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit Rider (“MGWB”). The MGWB rider, marketed under the name, PrincipalGuard Withdrawal Benefit, is an optional benefit which guarantees that if your Contract Value is reduced to zero, you will receive periodic payments. The amount of the periodic payments is based on the amount in the MGWB Withdrawal Account. Only premiums added to your Contract during the first two-year period after your Rider Date are included in the MGWB Withdrawal Account. Any additional premium payments added after the second rider anniversary are not included in the MGWB Withdrawal Account. Thus, the MGWB rider may not be appropriate for you if you plan to add substantial premium payments after your second rider anniversary.
The guarantee provides that, subject to the conditions described below, the amount you will receive in periodic payments is equal to your Eligible Payment Amount adjusted for any prior withdrawals. Your Eligible Payment Amount depends on when you purchase the MGWB rider and equals:
 
If you purchased the MGWB rider on the Contract Date: your premium payments received during the first two Contract Years; or
 
If you purchased the MGWB rider after the Contract Date: your Contract Value on the Rider Date, including any premiums received that day, and any subsequent premium payments received during the two-year period commencing on the Rider Date.
To maintain the guarantee, withdrawals in any Contract Year may not exceed 7% of your Eligible Payment Amount adjusted, as defined below. If your Contract Value is reduced to zero, your periodic payments will be 7% of your Eligible Payment Amount every year. Payments continue until your MGWB Withdrawal Account is reduced to zero. Please note that before Automatic Periodic Benefit status is reached, withdrawals in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount will be subject to surrender charges. Once your Contract reaches Automatic Period Benefit Status, the periodic payments paid under the MGWB rider are not subject to surrender charges.
The MGWB Withdrawal Account is equal to the Eligible Payment Amount adjusted for any withdrawals and transfers between Covered and Excluded Funds. The MGWB Withdrawal Account is tracked separately for Covered and Excluded Funds. The MGWB Withdrawal Account equals the sum of: (1) the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Covered Funds; and (2) the lesser of (a) the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Excluded Funds and (b) the Contract Value in Excluded Funds. Thus, investing in the Excluded Funds may limit the MGWB Withdrawal Account. No investment options are currently designated as Excluded Funds for the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit.
The Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (or “MAW”) is equal to 7% of the Eligible Payment Amount. Withdrawals from Covered Funds of up to the MAW will reduce the value of your MGWB Withdrawal Account by the dollar amount of the withdrawal. Any withdrawals from Covered Funds greater than the MAW will cause a reduction in the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Covered Funds by the proportion that the excess withdrawal bears to the remaining Contract Value in Covered Funds after the withdrawal of the MAW. All withdrawals from Excluded Funds will reduce the value of the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Excluded Funds proportionally. If a single withdrawal involves both Covered and Excluded Funds and exceeds 7%, the withdrawal will be treated as taken first from Covered Funds.
Any withdrawals greater than the MAW will also cause a reduction in the Eligible Payment Amount by the proportion that the excess portion of the withdrawal bears to the Contract Value remaining after withdrawal of the MAW at the time of the withdrawal. Please see “MGWB Excess Withdrawal Amount Examples,” below.
Once your Contract Value is zero, any periodic payments paid under the MGWB rider also reduce the MGWB Withdrawal Account by the dollar amount of the payments. If a withdrawal reduces the MGWB Withdrawal Account to zero, the MGWB rider terminates and no further benefits are payable under the rider.
Net transfers from Covered Funds to Excluded Funds will reduce the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Covered Funds proportionally. The resulting increase in the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Excluded Funds equals the reduction in the MGWB Withdrawal Account for Covered Funds.
Net transfers from Excluded Funds to Covered Funds will reduce the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Excluded Funds proportionally. The resulting increase in the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Covered Funds will equal the lesser of the reduction in the MGWB Withdrawal Account for Excluded Funds and the net Contract Value transferred.
You should not make any withdrawals if you wish to retain the option to elect the Step-Up Benefit (see below).
The MGWB Withdrawal Account is only a calculation which represents the remaining amount available for periodic payments. It does not represent a Contract Value, nor does it guarantee performance of the subaccounts in which you are invested. It will not affect your annuitization, surrender and death benefits.



K-1


Guaranteed Withdrawal Status. You may continue to make withdrawals in any amount permitted under your Contract so long as your Contract Value is greater than zero. See “WITHDRAWALS.” However, making any withdrawals in any year greater than the MAW will reduce the Eligible Payment Amount and payments under the MGWB rider by the proportion that the withdrawal bears to the Contract Value at the time of the withdrawal. The MGWB rider will remain in force and you may continue to make withdrawals each year so long as:
 
Your Contract Value is greater than zero;
 
Your MGWB Withdrawal Account is greater than zero;
 
You have not reached your latest allowable Annuity Start Date;
 
You have not elected to annuitize your Contract; and
 
You have not died (unless your spouse has elected to continue the Contract), changed the ownership of the Contract or surrendered the Contract.
The standard Contract provision limiting withdrawals to no more than 90% of the Cash Surrender Value is not applicable under the MGWB rider.
Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. Under the MGWB rider, in the event your Contract Value is reduced to zero, your Contract is given Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, if:
Your MGWB Withdrawal Account is greater than zero;
You have not reached your latest allowable Annuity Start Date;
You have not elected to annuitize your Contract; and
You have not died, changed the ownership of the Contract or surrendered the Contract.
Once your Contract is given Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will pay you the annual MGWB periodic payments, beginning on the next Contract anniversary until the earliest of: (1) your Contract’s latest Annuity Start Date; (2) the death of the owner; or (3) your MGWB Withdrawal Account is exhausted. These payments are equal to the lesser of the remaining MGWB Withdrawal Account or the MAW. We will reduce the MGWB Withdrawal Account by the amount of each payment. Once your Contract is given Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, we will not accept any additional premium payments in your Contract, and the Contract will not provide any benefits except those provided by the MGWB rider. Any other rider terminates. Your Contract will remain in Automatic Periodic Benefit Status until the earliest of: (1) payment of all MGWB periodic payments; (2) payment of the Commuted Value (defined below); or (3) the owner’s death.
On the Contract’s latest Annuity Start Date, in lieu of making the remaining MGWB periodic payments, we will pay you the Commuted Value of your MGWB periodic payments remaining. We may, at our option, extend your Annuity Start Date in order to continue the MGWB periodic payments. The Commuted Value is the present value of any then-remaining MGWB periodic payments at the current interest rate plus 0.50%. The current interest rate will be determined by the average of the Ask Yields for U.S. Treasury STRIPS as quoted by a national quoting service for period(s) applicable to the remaining payments. Once we pay you the last MGWB periodic payment or the Commuted Value, your Contract and the MGWB rider terminate.
Reset Option. Beginning on the fifth Contract anniversary following the Rider Date, if the Contract Value is greater than the MGWB Withdrawal Account, you may choose to reset the MGWB Rider. The effect will be to terminate the existing MGWB Rider and add a new MGWB Rider (“New Rider”). The MGWB Withdrawal Account under the New Rider will equal the Contract Value on the date the New Rider is effective. The charge for the MGWB under the New Rider will increase to the maximum annual charge of 1.00%. The Reset Option can only be elected on Contract anniversaries. If you elect the Reset Option, the Step-Up benefit is not available.
Step-Up Benefit. If the Rider Date is the same as the Contract Date, beginning on the fifth Contract anniversary following the Rider Date, if you have not made any previous withdrawals, you may elect to increase the MGWB Withdrawal Account, the adjusted Eligible Payment Amount and the MAW by a factor of 20%. This option is available whether or not the Contract Value is greater than the MGWB Withdrawal Account. If you elect the Step-Up Benefit:
 
We reserve the right to increase the charge for the MGWB Rider up to a maximum annual charge of 1.00% of Contract Value; and
 
You must wait at least five years from the Step-Up date to elect the Reset Option.
The Step-Up Benefit may be elected only one time under the MGWB Rider. Election of the Step-Up Benefit is limited to Contract anniversaries only. Please note that if you have a third party investment adviser who charges a separate advisory fee, and you have chosen to use withdrawals from your Contract to pay this fee, these will be treated as any other withdrawals, and the Step-Up Benefit will not be available.




K-2


Death of Owner
Before Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The MGWB rider terminates on the first owner’s date of death (death of Annuitant, if there is a non-natural owner), but the death benefit is payable. However, if the beneficiary is the owner’s spouse, the spouse elects to continue the Contract, and the Contract Value steps up to the minimum guaranteed death benefit, the MGWB Withdrawal Account and MAW are also reset. The MGWB charge will continue at the existing rate. Reset upon spousal continuation does not affect any then existing Reset Option.
During Automatic Periodic Benefit Status. The death benefit payable during Automatic Periodic Benefit Status is your MGWB Withdrawal Account which equals the sum of the remaining MGWB periodic payments.
Purchase. To purchase the MGWB rider, you must be age 80 or younger on the Rider Date. The MGWB rider must be purchased on the Contract Date. If the rider is not yet available in your state, the Company may in its discretion allow purchase of this rider during the 30-day period preceding the first Contract anniversary after the date of this prospectus, or the date of state approval, whichever is later.

MGWB Excess Withdrawal Amount Examples. The following are examples of adjustments to the MGWB Withdrawal Account and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount for Transfers and Withdrawals in Excess of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“Excess Withdrawals Amount”):
Example #1: Owner has invested only in Covered Funds
Assume the Contract Value (“CV”) before the withdrawal is $100,000 and is invested in Covered Funds only, the Eligible Payment Amount (EPA) is $100,000, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAW”) is $7,000, the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Covered Funds (“Covered Withdrawal Account”) is $120,000, and a withdrawal of $10,000 is made. The effect of the withdrawal is calculated as follows:
The new CV is $90,000 ($100,000 - $10,000).
The Excess Withdrawal Amount is $3,000 ($10,000 - $7,000).
The Covered Withdrawal Account is first reduced dollar-for-dollar by the portion of the withdrawal up to the MAW to $113,000 ($120,000 - $7,000), and is then reduced proportionally based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal Amount to the CV (after being reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $109,354.84 ($113,000 * (1 - $3,000 / $93,000)).
The EPA is reduced proportionally based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal Amount to the CV (after being reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $96,774.19 ($100,000 * (1 - $3,000 / $93,000)). The reduction to the EPA for withdrawals of Excess Withdrawal Amount is applied proportionally regardless of whether CV is allocated to Covered or Excluded Funds. The MAW is then recalculated to be 7% of the new EPA, $6,774.19 ($96,774.19 * 7%).
Example #2: Owner has invested only in Excluded Funds
Assume the Contract Value (“CV”) before the withdrawal is $100,000 and is invested in Excluded Funds only, the Eligible Payment Amount (“EPA”) is $100,000, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAW”) is $7,000, the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Excluded Funds (“Excluded Withdrawal Account”) is $120,000, and a withdrawal of $10,000 is made. The effect of the withdrawal is calculated as follows:
The new CV is $90,000 ($100,000 - $10,000).
The Excess Withdrawal Amount is $3,000 ($10,000 - $7,000).

 
1
We deduct optional rider charges from the subaccounts in which you are invested on each quarterly contract anniversary and proportionally on termination of the Contract; if the value in the subaccounts is insufficient, the optional rider charges will be deducted from the Fixed Interest Allocation(s) nearest maturity, and the amount deducted may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.
 
2
If you choose to reset the MGWB Rider the charge for the MGWB will increase to an annual charge of 1.00% of contract value. Please see “Minimum Reset Option” above.
 
3
If your rider was issued prior to May 1, 2005 and you elect the Step-Up Benefit, we will increase the charge for the MGWB rider to the maximum annual charge of 1.00% of contract value. Please see “Step-Up Benefit” above.

K-3


The Excluded Withdrawal Account is reduced proportionally based on the ratio of the entire amount withdrawn to the CV (before the withdrawal) to $108,000 ($120,000 * (1 - $10,000 / $100,000)).
The EPA is reduced proportionally based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal Amount to the CV (after being reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $96,774.19 ($100,000 * (1 - $3,000 / $93,000)). The reduction to the EPA for withdrawals of Excess Withdrawal Amount is applied proportionally regardless of whether CV is allocated to Covered or Excluded Funds. The MAW is then recalculated to be 7% of the new EPA, $6,774.19 ($96,774.19 * 7%).
Example #3: Owner has invested in both Covered and Excluded Funds
Assume the Contract Value (“CV”) before the withdrawal is $100,000 and is invested $60,000 in Covered Funds and $40,000 in Excluded Funds. Further assume that the Eligible Payment Amount (“EPA”) is $100,000, the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (“MAW”) is $7,000, the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Covered Funds (“Covered Withdrawal Account”) is $75,000, the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Excluded Funds (“Excluded Withdrawal Account”) is $45,000, and a withdrawal is made of $10,000 ($8,000 from Covered Funds and $2,000 from Excluded Funds).
The new CV for Covered Funds is $52,000 ($60,000 - $8,000), and the new CV for Excluded Funds is $38,000 ($40,000 - $2,000).
The Covered Withdrawal Account is first reduced dollar-for-dollar by the lesser of the MAW ($7,000) and the amount withdrawn from Covered Funds ($8,000) to $68,000 ($75,000 - $7,000), and is then reduced proportionally based on the ratio of any Excess Withdrawal Amount from Covered Funds to the CV in Covered Funds (after being reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $66,716.98 ($68,000 * (1 – $1,000 / $53,000).
The Excluded Withdrawal Account is reduced proportionally based on the ratio of the amount withdrawn from Excluded Funds to the CV in Excluded Funds (prior to the withdrawal) to $42,750 ($45,000 * (1 - $2,000 / $40,000)).
The EPA is reduced proportionally based on the ratio of the Excess Withdrawal Amount to the CV (after being reduced for the withdrawal up to the MAW) to $96,774.19 ($100,000 * (1 - $3,000 / $93,000)). The reduction to the EPA for withdrawals of Excess Withdrawal Amount is applied proportionally regardless of whether CV is allocated to Covered or Excluded Funds. The MAW is then recalculated to be 7% of the new EPA, $6,774.19 ($96,774.19 * 7%).
Example #4: Owner transfers funds from Excluded Funds to Covered Funds
Assume the Contract Value (“CV”) before the transfer is $100,000 and is invested $60,000 in Covered Funds and $40,000 in Excluded Funds. Further assume that the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Covered Funds (“Covered Withdrawal Account”) is $75,000, the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Excluded Funds (“Excluded Withdrawal Account”) is $45,000, and a transfer is made of $10,000 from Excluded Funds to Covered Funds.
The new CV for Covered Funds is $70,000 ($60,000 + $10,000), and the new CV for Excluded Funds is $30,000 ($40,000 - $10,000).
The Excluded Withdrawal Account is reduced proportionally based on the ratio of the amount transferred from Excluded Funds to the CV in Excluded Funds (prior to the transfer) to $33,750 ($45,000 * (1 - $10,000 / $40,000)).
The Covered Withdrawal Account is increased by the lesser of the reduction of the Excluded Withdrawal Account of $11,250 ($45,000 - $33,750) and the actual amount transferred of $10,000. Thus, the Covered Withdrawal Account is increased to $85,000 ($75,000 + $10,000).
Example #5: Owner transfers funds from Covered Funds to Excluded Funds
Assume the Contract Value (“CV”) before the transfer is $100,000 and is invested $60,000 in Covered Funds and $40,000 in Excluded Funds. Further assume that the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Covered Funds (“Covered Withdrawal Account”) is $75,000, the MGWB Withdrawal Account allocated to Excluded Funds (“Excluded Withdrawal Account”) is $45,000, and a transfer is made of $10,000 from Covered Funds to Excluded Funds.
The new CV for Covered Funds is $50,000 ($60,000 - $10,000), and the new CV for Excluded Funds is $50,000 ($40,000 + $10,000).
The Covered Withdrawal Account is reduced proportionally based on the ratio of the amount transferred from Covered Funds to the CV in Covered Funds (prior to the transfer) to $62,500 ($75,000 * (1 - $10,000 / $60,000)).
The Excluded Withdrawal Account is increased by the reduction of the Covered Withdrawal Account of $12,500 ($75,000 - $62,500) to $57,500 ($45,000 + $12,500).

APPENDIX L
State Variations
This APPENDIX L contains important state specific variations for Contracts issued in Massachusetts, Washington and
Oregon. The prospectus and this APPENDIX L provide a general description of the Contract, so please see your Contract,
any endorsements and riders for the details.
For Contracts issued in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the following provisions apply:
The Fixed Interest Allocation is not available;
TSA loans are not available; and
The Waiver of Surrender Charge for Extended Medical Care or Terminal Illness is not available.
For Contracts issued in the State of Washington, the following provisions apply:
 
The Fixed Account is not available;
 
The Minimum Guaranteed Income Benefit (“MGIB”) Rider Charge is only deducted from the subaccounts in which you are invested. No deduction will be made from the Fixed Interest Allocation; and
 
The following describes the death benefit options for Contracts issued in the State of Washington on or before April 30, 2009. Other than as described below, please see the prospectus for a full description of your death benefit options and other Contract features.
We use the Base Death Benefit to help determine the minimum death benefit payable under each of the death benefit options described below. You do not elect the Base Death Benefit. The Base Death Benefit is equal to the greater of:
The Contract Value; and
The Cash Surrender Value.
The Standard Death Benefit equals the greatest of the Base Death Benefit, the floor, and the Standard Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit.
The Standard Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit equals the initial premium payment, increased by premium payments after issue, and reduced by a proportional adjustment for any withdrawal.
The floor for the Death Benefit is the total premium payments made under the Contract reduced by a proportional adjustment for any withdrawal.
Enhanced Death Benefit Options. Under the Enhanced Death Benefit options, if you die before the Annuity Start Date, your beneficiary will receive the greater of the Standard Death Benefit and the Enhanced Death Benefit option elected. For purposes of calculating the 5.5% Solution Enhanced Death Benefit and the Max 5.5 Enhanced Death Benefit, certain funds, and the Fixed Account are designated as “Special Funds.”
The following investment options are designated as Special Funds: the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio and the Fixed Interest Allocation.
The ProFunds VP Rising Rates Opportunity Portfolio is also a Special Fund, but closed to new allocations effective April 30, 2007. For Contracts issued prior to September 2, 2003, however, the ProFunds VP Rising Rates Opportunity Portfolio is not designated as a Special Fund.
The Voya Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio is a Special Fund, but closed to new allocations effective March 12, 2004.
For Contracts issued on or after May 1, 2003, but prior to August 21, 2006, the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio is designated as a Special Fund. As of July 11, 2014, the Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio has been re-designated as a Covered Fund for all current and future investments.
We may, with 30 days’ notice to you, designate any fund as a Special Fund on existing Contracts with respect to new premiums added to such fund and also with respect to new transfers to such fund. Selecting a Special Fund may limit or reduce the 5.5% Max Enhanced Death Benefit.
For the period during which a portion of the Contract Value is allocated to a Special Fund, we may, at our discretion, reduce the mortality and expense risk charge attributable to that portion of the Contract Value. The reduced mortality and expense risk charge will be applicable only during that period.





L-1


The 5.5% Solution is not available as a standalone death benefit, but the calculation is used to determine the Max 5.5 Enhanced Death Benefit.
The 5.5% Solution Enhanced Death Benefit equals the greatest of:
 
The Standard Death Benefit;
 
The floor; and
 
The sum of the Contract Value allocated to Special Funds and the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit for Non-Special Funds.
For Contracts issued on or after April 11, 2000, the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit for Special and Non-Special Funds equals premiums, adjusted for withdrawals and transfers, accumulated at 5.5% until the attainment of age 80 and thereafter at 0%, subject to a floor as described below. For Contracts issued before April 11, 2000, the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit allows for accumulation to continue beyond age 80, subject to the cap. Please see your Contract for details regarding the terms of your death benefit.
Withdrawals of up to 5.5% per year of cumulative premiums are referred to as special withdrawals. Special withdrawals reduce the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit by the amount of Contract Value withdrawn. For any other withdrawals (withdrawals in excess of the amount available as a special withdrawal), a proportional adjustment to the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit is made. The amount of the proportional adjustment for withdrawals from Non-Special Funds will equal (a) times (b) divided by (c): where (a) is the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit for Non-Special Funds prior to the withdrawal; (b) is the Contract Value of the withdrawal; and (c) is the Contract Value allocated to Non-Special Funds before the withdrawal. The amount of the proportional adjustment for withdrawals from Special Funds will equal (a) times (b) divided by (c): where (a) is the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit for Special Funds prior to the withdrawal; (b) is the Contract Value of the withdrawal; and (c) is the Contract Value allocated to Special Funds before the withdrawal.
Transfers from Special to Non-Special Funds will reduce the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit for Special Funds proportionally. The resulting increase in the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit in Non-Special Funds will equal the lesser of the reduction in the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit in Special Funds and the Contract Value transferred.
Transfers from Non-Special to Special Funds will reduce the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit in Non-Special Funds proportionally. The resulting increase in the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit for Special Funds will equal the reduction in the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit for Non-Special Funds.
The floor for the 5.5% Solution Enhanced Death Benefit is determined by the same calculations described above for the 5.5% Solution Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit except as follows: if you transfer Contract Value to a Special Fund, the minimum floor will not be reduced by the transfer. Instead, a portion of the floor (equal to the percentage of Contract Value transferred) just prior to the transfer will be frozen (with 0% subsequent growth) unless the Contract Value is transferred back to the Non-Special Funds. Upon such transfer back to Non-Special Funds, we will resume accumulating that portion of the floor at the 5.5% annual effective rate as described above, subject to the age limit described above. Similarly, for Contract Value allocated directly to Special Funds, that portion of the floor will be the Contract Value allocated, and will not accumulate while invested in Special Funds. Withdrawals will reduce the floor as described for the minimum guaranteed death benefit above. Your death benefit will be the greater of the floor and the death benefit determined as described above.
The Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit equals the greater of:
The Standard Death Benefit; and
The Annual Ratchet Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit.
The Annual Ratchet Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit equals:
 
The initial premium payment;
 
Increased dollar for dollar by any premium added after issue; and
 
Adjusted on each anniversary that occurs on or prior to attainment of age 90 to the greater of the Annual Ratchet Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit from the prior anniversary (adjusted for new premiums and partial withdrawals) and the current Contract Value.
Withdrawals reduce the Annual Ratchet Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit proportionally, based on the amount withdrawn. The amount of the proportional adjustment for withdrawals will equal (a) times (b) divided by (c): where (a) is the Annual Ratchet Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit prior to the withdrawal; (b) is the Contract Value of the withdrawal; and (c) is the Contract Value before withdrawal.



L-2


The Max 5.5 Enhanced Death Benefit equals the greater of the 5.5% Solution Enhanced Death Benefit and the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit. Under this death benefit option, the 5.5% Solution Enhanced Death Benefit and the Annual Ratchet Enhanced Death Benefit are calculated in the same manner as if each were the elected benefit.
In all cases described above, the amount of the death benefit could be reduced by premium taxes owed and withdrawals not previously deducted. The enhanced death benefits may not be available in all states.
Death Benefit for Excluded Funds
We will be designating certain funds as “Excluded Funds.” Excluded Funds will include certain funds that, due to their volatility, will be excluded from the death benefit guarantees that might otherwise be provided. We may add new funds as Excluded Funds. We may also reclassify an existing portfolio as an Excluded Fund or remove such classification upon 30 days’ notice to you. Such reclassification will apply only to amounts transferred or otherwise added to such portfolio after the effective date of the reclassification. Investment in Excluded Funds will impact your death benefit.
For the period of time, and to the extent, that you allocate premium or Contract Value to Excluded Funds, your death benefit attributable to that allocation will equal the Contract Value of that allocation. Any guarantee of death benefit in excess of Contract Value otherwise provided with regard to allocations to Non-Excluded Funds, does not apply to allocations to Excluded Funds. The death benefit provided under the Contract may be reduced to the extent that you allocate premium or Contract Value to Excluded Funds.
Transfers from Excluded Funds to Non-Excluded Funds will reduce all death benefit components for Excluded Funds proportionally. Except with respect to any maximum guaranteed death benefit, the resulting increase in the Non-Excluded Funds death benefit component will equal the lesser of the reduction in the death benefit for Excluded Funds and the Contract Value transferred. With respect to the maximum guaranteed death benefit, where applicable, the resulting increase in the Non-Excluded Funds maximum guaranteed death benefit will equal the reduction in the maximum guaranteed death benefit for Excluded Funds.
Transfers from Non-Excluded Funds to Excluded Funds will reduce the Non-Excluded Funds death benefit components proportionally. The resulting increase in the death benefit components of Excluded Funds will equal the reduction in the Non-Excluded Funds death benefit components.

The charges, fees and expenses are as described in the prospectus for the applicable variable annuity Contract with the exception of the mortality and expense risk charges for the Max 5.5 Enhanced Death Benefit. The mortality and expense risk charges for the Max 5.5 Enhanced Death Benefit elected is 2.1%.
For Contracts issued in the State of Oregon:
 
The Fixed Account is not available;
 
The Premium Credit rider is not available;
 
No subsequent premium payments may be made to the Contract after the 5th Contract anniversary;
 
Unless we consent, the Annuity Start Date must be at least ten years from the Contract Date but before the month immediately following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday; and
 
A surrender charge will not be deducted when you surrender the Contract on the Annuity Start Date.

Introduction

This Statement of Additional Information provides background information regarding Separate Account B.

Description of Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company

We are an Iowa stock life insurance company, which was originally organized in 1973 under the insurance laws of Minnesota. Prior to September 1, 2019, we were known as Voya Insurance and Annuity Company. Prior to September 1, 2014, we were known as ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company. Prior to January 1, 2004, we were known as Golden American Life Insurance Company. On June 1, 2018 we became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of VA Capital Company LLC, an insurance holding company organized under Delaware law (“VA Capital”).  Our direct parent company is Venerable Holdings, Inc. (“Venerable”).  Before June 1, 2018, we were an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya”) The June 1, 2018, sale of the Company by Voya to VA Capital did not change the terms, features and benefits of your Contract.

Although we are a subsidiary of VA Capital and Venerable, neither VA Capital nor Venerable are responsible for the obligations under the Contract. The obligations under the Contract are solely our responsibility.

We are authorized to sell insurance and annuities in all states, except New York, and the District of Columbia. We are engaged in the business of administering insurance and annuities, and we no longer sell or issue any new insurance or annuities. Our principal office is located at 699 Walnut Street, Suite 1350, Des Moines, Iowa 50309-3942.

Separate Account B of Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company

Separate Account B was established as a separate account of the Company on July 14, 1988. It is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Separate Account B is a separate investment account used for our variable annuity Contract s. We own all the assets in Separate Account B but such assets are kept separate from our other accounts.

Separate Account B is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one fund. Each fund has its own distinct investment objectives and policies. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, of a fund are credited to or charged against the corresponding subaccount of Separate Account B without regard to any other income, gains or losses of the Company. Assets equal to the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to each are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business of the Company. They may, however, be subject to liabilities arising from subaccounts whose assets we attribute to other variable annuity Contracts supported by Separate Account B. If the assets in Separate Account B exceed the required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our general account. When we deduct the fees we charge for the Contract, these would constitute excess assets that we would transfer to the general account. We are obligated to pay all benefits and make all payments provided under the Contracts and will keep the Separate Account fully funded to cover such liabilities.

Safekeeping of Assets

Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company acts as its own custodian for Separate Account B.

Experts

The financial statements of Separate Account B as of December 31, 2019, and the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, with respect to Separate Account B, and Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, with respect to the Company as set forth in their reports thereon appearing elsewhere herein.  Such financial statements have been included herein in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Distribution of Contracts

The offering of Contracts under the prospectus associated with this Statement of Additional Information is continuous. Directed Services LLC, an affiliate of Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company, acts as the principal underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the variable insurance products (the “variable insurance products”) previously issued by Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company. The Contracts were distributed through registered representatives of other broker-dealers who have entered into selling agreements with Directed Services LLC. For the years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017 commissions paid by Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company, to Directed Services LLC equaled $142,709,591, $153,949,046 and $206,293,565, respectively. All commissions received by the distributor were passed through to the broker-dealers who sold the Contracts. Directed Services LLC is located at 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, PA 19380.

Under a pricing agreement, Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company receives a monthly fee from Directed Services LLC based on annual contractual rates by fund. This fee, calculated as a percentage of average assets in the variable separate accounts, was $55,083,638, $60,172,545 and $80,362,617 for the years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Accumulation Unit Value

The calculation of the Accumulation Unit Value (“AUV”) is discussed in the prospectus and below. Note that in your Contract, Accumulation Unit value is referred to as the Index of Investment Experience. The following illustrations show a calculation of a new AUV and the purchase of Units (using hypothetical examples). Note that the examples below do not reflect the mortality and expense risk charge for this product and are for illustration purposes only. Complete AUV information for the AUVs calculated for this Contract is available in this SAI.

Performance Information

From time to time, we may advertise or include in reports to Contract Owner’s performance information for the subaccounts of Separate Account B, including the average annual total return performance, yields and other nonstandard measures of performance. Such performance data will be computed, or accompanied by performance data computed, in accordance with standards defined by the SEC.

Except for the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio subaccount, quotations of yield for the subaccounts will be based on all investment income per unit (Contract Value divided by the Accumulation Unit) earned during a given 30-day period, less expenses accrued during such period. Information on standard total average annual return performance will include average annual rates of total return for one-, five- and ten-year periods, or lesser periods depending on how long Separate Account B has been investing in the portfolio. We may show other total returns for periods of less than one year. We will base total return figures on the actual historic performance of the subaccounts of Separate Account B, assuming an investment at the beginning of the period when the separate account first invested in the portfolios, and withdrawal of the investment at the end of the period, adjusted to reflect the deduction of all applicable portfolio and current Contract  charges. We may also show rates of total return on amounts invested at the beginning of the period with no withdrawal at the end of the period. Total return figures which assume no withdrawals at the end of the period will reflect all recurring charges. In addition, we may present historic performance data for the funds since their inception reduced by some or all of the fees and charges under the Contract. Such adjusted historic performance includes data that precedes the inception dates of the subaccounts of Separate Account B. This data is designed to show the performance that would have resulted if the Contract had been in existence before the separate account began investing in the funds.

Current yield for the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio subaccount is based on income received by a hypothetical investment over a given seven-day period, less expenses accrued, and then “annualized” (i.e., assuming that the seven-day yield would be received for 52 weeks). We calculate “effective yield” for the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio subaccount in a manner similar to that used to calculate yield, but when annualized, the income earned by the investment is assumed to be reinvested. The “effective yield” will thus be slightly higher than the “yield” because of the compounding effect of earnings. We calculate quotations of yield for the remaining subaccounts on all investment income per Accumulation Unit earned during a given 30-day period, after subtracting fees and expenses accrued during the period, assuming the selection of the Max 7 Enhanced Death Benefit and the MGIB optional benefit rider. You should be aware that there is no guarantee that the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio subaccount will have a positive or level return.

We may compare performance information for a subaccount to:  (1) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Donoghue Money Market Institutional Averages, or any other applicable market indices; (2) other variable annuity separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services (a widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual funds and other investment companies), or any other rating service; and (3) the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation) to determine the real rate of return of an investment in the Contract. Our reports and promotional literature may also contain other information including the ranking of any subaccount based on rankings of variable annuity separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services or by similar rating services.

Performance information reflects only the performance of a hypothetical Contract and should be considered in light of other factors, including the investment objective of the fund and market conditions. Please keep in mind that past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Other Information

Registration statements have been filed with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Contracts discussed in this Statement of Additional Information. Not all of the information set forth in the registration statements, amendments and exhibits thereto has been included in this Statement of Additional Information. Statements contained in this Statement of Additional Information concerning the content of the Contracts and other legal instruments are intended to be summaries. For a complete statement of the terms of these documents, reference should be made to the instruments filed with the SEC.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company and Contract Owners of Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company Separate Account B

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company Separate Account B (the Separate Account), as of December 31, 2019, the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the subaccounts’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents, as applicable. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Separate Accounts auditor since 1988.

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
Notes to Financial Statements

The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. VIAC provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or the VIAC guaranteed interest division, the VIAC fixed interest division and the fixed account (an investment option in the Company’s general account), as directed by the Contract owners. The portion of the Account’s assets applicable to Contracts will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business VIAC may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of VIAC. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of VIAC.

At December 31, 2019, the Account had 190 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), each which invests in shares of a designated independently managed mutual fund (“Fund”) of various investment trusts (“the Trusts”).

The Divisions with assets balances at December 31, 2019 and related Trusts are as follows:

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

Investments are made in shares of a Division and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Division. Investment transactions in each Division are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Division are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Division are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The difference between cost and current fair value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of VIAC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited to contract owners. Accordingly, earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the contract owners are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of VIAC, and no charge is being made to the Account for federal income taxes for these amounts. The Company will review this tax accounting in the event of changes in the tax law. Such changes in the law may result in a charge for federal income taxes. Uncertain tax positions are assessed at the parent level on a consolidated basis, including taxes of the operations of the Separate Account.

Contract Owner Reserves

The annuity reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the contract owners invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the contract owners exceed their account values, VIAC will contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to VIAC. Prior to the annuitization date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net cash surrender value of the Contracts.

Changes from Principal Transactions

Included in Changes from principal transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are items which relate to contract owner activity, including premiums, death benefits, surrenders and withdrawals, contract charges, and cost of insurance and administrative charges. Also included are transfers between the fixed account and the Divisions, transfers between Divisions, and transfers to (from) VIAC related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the full responsibility for which is assumed by VIAC).

Notes to Financial Statements

Subsequent Events

The Account has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared that the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) outbreak was a global health emergency. On March 11, 2020, the WHO raised the COVID-19 outbreak to “pandemic” status. Following these events, numerous cities, states, and countries issued shelter in place orders requesting or requiring residents to remain at home. The Account can experience losses in its investment portfolio as a result of volatile markets. Due to the recentness and unprecedented nature of these events, as well as the rapid development and fluidity of the situation, the Account is unable at this time to determine whether losses may occur or, if so, the extent of any adverse impact.

3. Financial Instruments

The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund's next computed net asset values (“NAV”). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the transfer agents or fund companies and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund investments. The NAV is calculated daily upon close of the New York Stock Exchange and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.

The Account’s assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2019 based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. There were no transfers among the levels for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Account had no liabilities as of December 31, 2019.

The Account categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. The Account defines an active market as a market in which transactions take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or valuation techniques that require inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

144

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
Notes to Financial Statements


a)
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

b)
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

c)
Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and

d)
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
 
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

4. Charges and Fees

Under the terms of all Contracts, certain charges and fees are incurred by the Contracts to cover VIAC’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Contracts. Following is a summary of these charges and fees:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

VIAC assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of the Account. Daily charges are deducted at annual rates of 0.35% to 2.20% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account to cover these risks, as specified in the Contracts. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Asset Based Administrative Charges

A charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at annual rates of up to 0.15% of the assets attributable to certain Contracts. For the Voya Preferred Advantage Variable Annuity Contract ("Preferred Advantage")the Account deducts this charge at annual rates of 0.60% to cover the mortality and expense risks, as specified in the contract. For Preferred Advantage contracts with contract dates on and after November 21, 2016, the maximum daily asset based administrative fee increased to 1.15% annually. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Contract Maintenance Charges

An annual Contract maintenance fee of up to $50 may be deducted from the accumulation value of Contracts to cover ongoing administrative expenses, as specified in the Contracts. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

For certain Contracts, a contingent deferred sales charge (“Surrender Charge”) is imposed as a percentage that ranges up to 8.00% of each premium payment if the Contract is surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is taken as specified in the Contract. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

145

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
Notes to Financial Statements

Withdrawal and Distribution Charges

For certain Contracts, a charge is deducted from the accumulation value for contract owners taking more than one conventional partial withdrawal during a Contract year. For certain Contracts, annual distribution fees are deducted from the Contracts’ accumulation values. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Other Contract Charges

For certain Contracts, an additional charge up to 0.60% is deducted daily from the accumulation values for contract owners who select the Premium Bonus Option feature. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Certain Contacts contain optional riders that are available for an additional charge, such as minimum guaranteed income benefits and minimum guaranteed withdrawal benefits. The amounts charged for these optional benefits vary based on a number of factors and are defined in the Contracts. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Fees Waived by VIAC

Certain charges and fees for various types of Contracts may be waived by VIAC. VIAC reserves the right to discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with changes in the law.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa. Management also is responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 1 to the statutory-basis financial statements, the Company prepared these financial statements using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa, which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between these statutory accounting practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles paragraph, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended.

Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company ("VIAC" or the “Company”), is domiciled in Iowa and is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Venerable Holdings Inc. (“Venerable Holdings”), a holding company domiciled in the state of Delaware.

Effective June 1, 2018 VA Capital Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("VA Capital"), and Athene Holding Ltd., a Bermuda limited company ("Athene"), completed an acquisition pursuant to which VA Capital's wholly owned subsidiary, Venerable Holdings, acquired certain assets of Voya Financial, including all of the shares of the capital stock of the Company and VIAC Services Company ("VSC") and all of the membership interest in Directed Services, LLC ("DSL") (the "Acquisition"). During the 5 months ended May 31, 2018, the Company completed various reinsurance transactions with its related parties at the time in preparation for the Acquisition. On June 1, 2018, Venerable Holdings completed the Acquisition. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company changed its name from Voya Insurance and Annuity Company to Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company, with the approval of the Iowa Insurance Division, effective September 1, 2019.

Description of Business

The Company historically offered various insurance products including immediate and deferred variable and fixed annuities, fixed indexed annuities, traditional life insurance, supplemental contracts consisting of life insurance proceeds and payout annuities for pre-retirement wealth accumulation and post-retirement income management. The Company ceased the issuance of new fixed and indexed annuity products in 2018, ceased the issuance of new variable annuity products in 2010, and ceased the issuance of new life insurance policies in 2001, placing them in run-off. New amounts may continue to be deposited as add-on premiums to certain existing contracts. The Company has a significant concentration of reinsurance. See, "Reinsurance" in the Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company's reinsurance arrangements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements of the Company requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

The Company does not have any recently adopted accounting principles to disclose as of December 31, 2019.

Correction of Errors

The Company does not have any correction of errors to disclose as of December 31, 2019.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Insurance Division, which practices differ from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The more significant variances from U.S. GAAP are:

Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on a rating assigned by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC").

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

The Company periodically reviews the value of its investments in bonds and mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks. If the fair value of any investment falls below its cost basis, the decline is analyzed to determine whether it is an other-than-temporary decline. To make this determination for each security, the following are some of the factors considered:


The length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost.

The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer of the security, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings potential.

The Company's intent to sell the security prior to its maturity at an amount below its carrying value.

The Company's intent and ability to hold the security long enough for it to recover its cost.

Based on the analysis, the Company makes a judgment as to whether the decline in fair value is other-than-temporary. When an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") is recorded because there is intent to sell or the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis, the security is written down to fair value. The interest related OTTI is deferred through the interest maintenance reserve ("IMR") and the non-interest related OTTI is included in the asset valuation reserve ("AVR") in the period that the OTTI is considered to have occurred as prescribed by the NAIC. Losses resulting from OTTI charges, net of transfers to IMR, are recorded within net realized capital gains (losses) in the statements of operations.

The Company invests in structured securities, including mortgage backed securities/collateralized mortgage obligations, asset backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and commercial mortgage backed securities. Structured securities are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on a rating assigned by the NAIC. They are amortized using the interest method over the period which repayment of principal is expected to occur. For structured securities in unrealized loss positions, the Company determines whether it has the intent to sell or the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost.

Net realized gains and losses on disposed investments are reported in the statements of operations, net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR.

Under U.S. GAAP, fixed maturities are designated at purchase as held to maturity, trading or available-for-sale, except for those accounted for using the fair value option ("FVO"). Held to maturity investments are reported at amortized cost and the remaining fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value. For those designated as trading, changes in fair value are reported in the statements of operations. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholder's equity. Using the FVO, securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in the statements of operations.

When an intent impairment is determined, the individual security is written down from amortized cost to fair value, and a corresponding charge is recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) in the statements of operations as an OTTI. If the Company does not intend to sell the security, the Company determines whether or not it has intent and ability to retain the investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. If the Company does not have the intent and ability to retain the investment for the time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis , an OTTI should be considered to have occurred.

Asset Valuation Reserves: The AVR is intended to establish a reserve to offset potential credit related investment losses on most invested asset categories. AVR is determined by a NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as a liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of surplus. The change in AVR is reported directly to unassigned surplus. AVR is not applicable under U.S. GAAP.

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Interest Maintenance Reserve: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds, derivatives and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. The Company reports the net deferral of IMR as a liability on the accompanying balance sheets. When the net deferral of IMR is negative, the amount is reported as a component of other assets and nonadmitted. IMR is not applicable under U.S. GAAP.

Cash and Short-term Investments: Cash and short-term investments represent cash balances, demand deposits and short-term fixed maturity investments with initial maturities of one year or less at the date of acquisition.

Under U.S. GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks and other highly liquid investments, such as money market instruments and debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase.

Derivatives: The Company follows the hedge accounting guidance in Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP") No. 86, Derivatives ("SSAP No. 86") for derivative transactions. Under SSAP No. 86, derivatives that are deemed effective hedges are accounted for entirely in a manner which is consistent with the underlying hedged item. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with the change in value recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract.

Under U.S. GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a cash flow hedge are accounted for separately. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction impacts earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction. The ineffective portion of the derivative's change in value, if any, along with any of the derivative's change in value that is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recorded in other net realized capital gains (losses). For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the hedged item, to the extent of the risk being hedged, are recognized in other net realized capital gains (losses). An embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is reported with the host contract on the balance sheets at fair value, and the change in fair value is recorded in income.

Mortgage Loans: Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, less write downs for impairments. If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to the lesser of either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan's original purchase yield or fair value of the collateral. For those mortgages that are determined to require foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by establishing a permanent write-down recorded in net realized capital gains (losses).

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company records an allowance for probable losses incurred on non-impaired loans on an aggregate basis, rather than specifically identified probable losses incurred by individual loans.

Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax recoveries or obligations associated with the accumulation of temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are provided for and admitted to an amount determined under a standard formula in accordance with SSAP No. 101. A valuation allowance is required if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment is determined on a separate reporting entity basis.
 
VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

After reduction for any valuation allowance, the Company follows the admissibility formula prescribed under SSAP No. 101. These provisions limit the amount of gross deferred tax assets that can be admitted to surplus to those for which ultimate recoverability can be demonstrated. This limitation is based on availability of taxes paid in prior years that could be recovered through carrybacks, the expected timing of reversals for accumulated temporary differences over the next three years to offset future taxes, surplus limits, and the amount of gross deferred tax liabilities available for offset. Any deferred tax assets not covered under the formula are nonadmitted.

SSAP No. 101 requires all changes in deferred tax balances to be included as surplus adjustments; under U.S. GAAP, however, most changes in deferred tax balances are recorded in the income statement as a component of the total income tax provision.

U.S. GAAP also requires that deferred taxes be included for all jurisdictions that determine taxes based on income. Thus deferred state income taxes must be recorded under U.S. GAAP. SSAP No. 101, however, specifically prohibits establishing deferred state income tax assets and liabilities.

Investments in Real Estate: Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments, and investment income and operating expenses include rent for the Company's occupancy of those properties. Changes between depreciated cost and admitted asset investment amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Any real estate not meeting the appraisal requirements established in SSAP No. 40R, Real Estate, shall be nonadmitted until the required appraisals are obtained.

Under U.S. GAAP, property is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and is reported gross of related obligations in other assets on the balance sheets. Any depreciation and rent expense are charged to operating expenses on the statements of operations. Rental income is reported as Net Investment income.

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred.

Under U.S. GAAP, incremental, direct costs of contract acquisition and certain costs related directly to successful acquisition activities are capitalized. Indirect or unsuccessful acquisition costs, maintenance, product development and overhead expenses are charged to expense as incurred. In addition, the outstanding value of in force business acquired is capitalized. For certain traditional life insurance, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized over the premium payment period in proportion to the present value of expected gross premium. For universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the emergence of estimated gross profits.

Premiums: Life premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting.

Under U.S. GAAP, premiums related to traditional life insurance contracts and payout contracts with life contingencies are recognized as revenue when due. Amounts received for investment-type, universal life-type, fixed annuities, payout contracts without life contingencies and fixed-indexed annuity contracts are reported as deposits to contract owner account balances. Revenues from these contracts consist primarily of fees assessed against the contract owner account balance for mortality and policy administration charges.

Benefits Paid or Provided: Benefits incurred for universal life and annuity policies represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves.

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Under U.S. GAAP, benefits and expenses for investment-type, universal life-type, fixed annuities, payout contracts without life contingencies and fixed-indexed annuity contracts include claims in excess of related account balances, expenses of contract administration and interest credited to contract owner account balances.

Benefit and Contract Reserves: Life policy and contract reserves under Statutory accounting practices are calculated based upon both the net level premium method and Commissioners' Reserve Valuation method ("CRVM") using statutory rates for mortality and interest. Annuity policy and contract reserves under statutory accounting practices are calculated based upon the Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation method ("CARVM") using statutory rates for mortality and interest.

Under U.S. GAAP policy reserves for traditional products are based upon the net level premium method utilizing best estimates of mortality, interest, and withdrawals prevailing when the policies were sold. For interest sensitive products, the U.S. GAAP policy reserve is equal to the policy fund balance plus an unearned revenue reserve which reflects the unamortized balance of early year policy loads over renewal year policy loads.

Reinsurance: Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves. Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received. Losses generated in certain reinsurance transactions are recognized immediately in income, with gains reported as a separate component of surplus and amortized over the remaining life of the business. For business ceded to unauthorized reinsurers, statutory accounting practices require that reinsurance credits permitted by the treaty be recorded as an offsetting liability and charged against unassigned surplus.

Under U.S. GAAP, ceded future policy benefits and contract owner liabilities are reported gross on the balance sheets. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the balance sheets and are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance, which are charged to earnings. Gains and losses on reinsurance, including commission and expense allowances, are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the business.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as "nonadmitted," principally past due agents' balances and commission advances, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. In addition, non-admitted assets include deferred tax assets that are not admissible under SSAP No. 101. See Deferred Income Taxes above.

Under U.S. GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheets.

Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared.

Under U.S. GAAP, dividends allocable to participating contract owners are based on published dividend projections or expected dividend scales.

Surplus Notes: Surplus notes issued are reported as a component of surplus on the balance sheets. Under statutory accounting practices, no interest expense is recorded on the surplus notes until payment has been approved by the Iowa Insurance Division.

Under U.S. GAAP, surplus notes are reported as long-term debt, and the related interest is reported as a charge to earnings over the term of the notes.

Separate Accounts: The assets and liabilities of the separate accounts are carried at fair value, and the reserves are calculated based upon the CARVM.

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Under U.S. GAAP, separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contracts are equal to cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, plus interest credited thereon. The Market Value Adjustment ("MVA") and Collared Annuity Product ("CAP") separate accounts do not qualify as separate accounts and are reported as assets and liabilities of the Company's general account. Reserves for individual and group deferred annuity contracts are equal to cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, net of adjustments for investment experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in future credit interest.

Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP: The effects of the preceding variances from U.S. GAAP on the accompanying statutory basis financial statements have not been determined, but are presumed to be material.

Significant accounting practices are as follows:

Investments: Investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

Bonds not backed by other loans are stated at either amortized cost using the interest method or the lower of cost or fair value.

Loan-backed securities are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Amortized cost is determined using the effective interest method and includes anticipated prepayments. The retrospective adjustment method is used to determine the amortized cost for the majority of loan–backed and structured securities. For certain securities, the prospective adjustment methodology is utilized, including interest-only securities and securities that have experienced an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI").

Preferred stocks are stated in accordance with SSAP No. 32, Preferred Stock.

Common stocks are stated at fair value except that investments in stocks of uncombined subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has an interest of 20% or more are carried on the equity basis. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") common stock is priced at par value.

Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost.

Residual collateralized mortgage obligations, which are included in other invested assets on the balance sheets, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Surplus notes acquired, which are included in other invested assets on the balance sheets, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Realized capital gains and losses are generally determined using the first in first out method.

The Company enters into various derivative transactions to reduce and manage the risk of a change in value, yield, price, cash flow or quantity of, or a degree of exposure with respect to assets, liabilities, or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. The Company enters into credit default swaps to replicate the investment characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments. The replication (synthetic asset) and the derivative and other cash instrument are carried at amortized cost. The replication practices are in accordance with SSAP No. 86 hedge accounting practices. The Company also enters into interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate exposure of certain mortgage backed related securities. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with SSAP No. 86 hedge accounting practices, and are carried at amortized cost. The Company does not receive hedge accounting treatment for any other derivative transactions.

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

The Company enters into the following types of derivatives:

Credit Contracts:

Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce credit loss exposure with respect to certain assets that the Company owns, or to assume credit exposure on certain assets that the Company does not own. Payments are made to or received from the counterparty at specified intervals. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive a payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make a payment (sold credit protection) equal to the par minus recovery value of the swap contract. The Company utilizes these contracts in replication relationships for sold credit protection and non-qualifying relationships for purchased credit protection.

Equity Contracts:

Futures: Futures contracts are used to hedge against a decrease in certain equity indices. Such decreases may result in a decrease in variable annuity account values which would increase the possibility of the Company incurring an expense for guaranteed benefits in excess of account values.

Options: The Company uses options to manage the equity and equity volatility risk of the economic liabilities associated with certain variable annuity minimum guaranteed benefits. The Company may pay or receive upfront premium to enter into these options. The Company utilized these options in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Total return swaps: The Company uses total return swaps as a hedge against a decrease in variable annuity account values, which are invested in certain indices. Using total return swaps, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals or maturity, the difference between the economic performance of assets or a market index and a funding amount, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. No cash is exchanged at the onset of the contracts. Cash is paid and received over the life of the contract based upon the terms of the swaps. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Variance swaps: The Company uses variance swaps to manage equity volatility risk on the economic liabilities associated with certain minimum guaranteed living benefits. An increase in the equity volatility may result in a higher valuation of such liabilities and may also prospectively increase the cost of hedging equity risk with options. In an equity variance swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange amounts in the future, based on the changes in equity volatility over a defined period. The Company utilizes equity variance swaps in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Foreign Exchange Contracts:

Foreign exchange swaps: The Company uses foreign exchange or currency swaps to reduce the risk of change in the value, yield or cash flows associated with certain foreign denominated invested assets. Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows against U.S. dollar cash flows at regular periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships.

Currency forwards: The Company utilizes currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposure related to its invested assets. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Interest Rate Contracts:

Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and/or liabilities and to hedge the interest rate exposure associated with certain variable annuity minimum guaranteed benefits. Interest rate swaps are also used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the value of assets it owns or in an anticipation of acquiring them. Using interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest payments, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made to/from the counterparty at each due date. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships as well as non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Swaptions: A swaption is an option to enter into a swap with a forward starting effective date. The Company uses swaptions to hedge the interest rate exposure associated with certain variable annuity minimum guaranteed benefits. The Company pays or receives a premium when it purchases the swaption. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Total return swaps: The Company uses total return swaps to hedge the interest rate exposure associated with certain variable annuity minimum guaranteed benefits. Using total return swaps, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals or maturity, the difference between the economic performance of assets or a market index and a funding amount, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. No cash is exchanged at the onset of the contracts. Cash is paid and received over the life of the contract based upon the terms of the swaps. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Futures: The Company uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge interest rate risks associated with certain variable annuity minimum guaranteed benefits and CMO-B portfolio. Changes in the general level of interest rates can result in the potential for adverse changes in the portfolio and/or certain variable annuity minimum guaranteed benefits. The Company enters into exchange traded futures with regulated futures commissions that are members of the exchange. The Company also posts initial and variation margins, with the exchange, on a daily basis. The Company utilizes exchange-traded futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Interest rate caps and floors: The Company uses interest rate cap contracts to hedge the interest rate exposure arising from duration mismatches between assets and liabilities. Interest rate caps are also used to hedge interest rate exposure if rates rise above a specified level. The Company uses interest rate floor contracts to hedge interest rate exposure if rates decrease below a specified level. The Company pays an upfront premium for these caps and floors. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Contract Loans: Contract Loans are reported at unpaid principal balances but not in excess of the cash surrender value.

Aggregate Reserve for Life Policies and Contracts: Life, annuity, and accident and health reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash value or the amounts required by law. Interest rates ranged from 2.25% to 13.25% for 2019.

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death, the larger of the variable insurance amount or the amount of the death benefits as of the prior processing date plus the amount of any subsequent additional premium payments minus withdrawals. Surrender values are not promised in excess of the legally computed reserves.

The methods used in valuation of substandard policies are as follows:

For life, endowment and term policies issued substandard, the standard reserve during the premium paying period is increased by 50% of the gross annual extra premium. Standard reserves are held on Paid-Up Limited Pay contracts.

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

For reinsurance accepted with table rating, the reserve established is a multiple of the standard reserve corresponding to the table rating.

For reinsurance with flat extra premiums, the standard reserve is increased by 50% of the flat extra.

The amount of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums, according to the standard of valuation required by the Iowa Insurance Division, is $68.7 and $72.6 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Reserves to cover the above insurance totaled the gross amount of $0.0 and $0.0 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves for all direct ordinary life insurance and for the portion of group life insurance. The method of determination of tabular interest of funds not involving life contingencies is as follows: current year reserves, plus payments, less prior year reserves, less funds added.

Reinsurance: Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and are consistent with the risks assumed. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium revenue and benefits expense. Amounts applicable to reinsurance ceded for reserves and unpaid claim liabilities have been reported as reductions of these items, and expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded have been reflected in operations. The Company establishes a receivable for amounts due from reinsurers for claims paid and other amounts recoverable under the terms of the reinsurance contracts.

Electronic Data Processing Equipment: Electronic data processing equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for major classes of such assets is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, not to exceed three years.

Participating Insurance: Participating business approximates less than 18% of the Company’s life insurance in force. For the year ended December 31, 2019, premiums on participating policies were $5.5, or less than 31% of premium income, as compared to $6.3, or less than 1% of premium income in 2018. The amount of dividends to be paid to participating policyholders is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Amounts allocable to participating policyholders are based on published dividend projections or expected dividend scales. In connection with the Acquisition described in Note 1, the participating business was reinsured with, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (a subsidiary of Voya Financial). As a result, dividends expense of $5.4 was incurred in 2019, as compared to $(6.0) in 2018.

Benefit Plans: The Company provides a contributory retirement plan for substantially all employees. In addition, the Company historically provided noncontributory retirement plans for substantially all employees and certain agents. Pension costs were charged to operations as contributions were made to the plans.

Changes in nonadmitted assets are generally reported directly in unassigned surplus as an increase or decrease in nonadmitted assets.

Claims and Claims Adjustment Expenses: Claims expenses represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred through December 31, 2019. The Company does not discount claims and claims adjustment expense reserves. Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to historical claim payment data. Such liabilities are considered to be reasonable and adequate to discharge the Company’s obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of December 31, 2019.

Guaranteed Benefits: For variable annuity guarantees, Actuarial Guideline 43 – Variable Annuity Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“AG43") is followed. This guideline interprets how to apply the CARVM. The greater of the result under a single deterministic “Standard Scenario” and the average of the most severe 30% of randomly generated stochastic scenarios is held as the reserve. Both reinsurance and hedging are also reflected. Taxes are not incorporated. All assumptions for the Standard Scenario are prescribed. For the stochastic scenarios, equity market returns must meet a calibration test. All other assumptions are set by the actuary using prudent best-estimates.

Separate Accounts: Most separate account assets and liabilities held by the Company represent funds held for the benefit of the Company’s variable life and annuity policy and contract holders who bear all of the investment risk associated with the policies. Such policies are of a non-guaranteed nature. All net investment experience, positive or negative, is attributed to the policy and contract holders’ account values. The assets and liabilities of these accounts, excluding the Market Value Adjustment Separate Account ("MVA"), are carried at fair value and are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company. There are no product classification differences between statutory accounting practices and U.S. GAAP. (See Note 2 for details related the Company's prescribed practices related to the MVA.)

2.
Permitted and Prescribed Statutory Basis Accounting Practices

The financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Insurance Division. The Iowa Insurance Division recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Iowa for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Iowa Insurance Law. The NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the State of Iowa. The Commissioner of the Iowa Insurance Division ("Commissioner") has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

The Company is required to identify those significant accounting practices that are permitted or prescribed, and obtain written approval of the practices from the Iowa Insurance Division.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no such permitted accounting practices. For information on the permitted accounting practices of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Rocky Range, Inc. ("Rocky Range"), see "Reinsurance" in the Notes to Financial Statements.

MVA Prescribed Practice
The Company, with the explicit permission of the Commissioner, carries the assets of the Market Value Adjustment Separate Account (“MVA”) at amortized cost instead of fair value as required by SSAP No. 56, Separate Accounts (“SSAP No. 56”). The impact to the Company’s capital and surplus as a result of this prescribed practice was a decrease of $8.0 as of December 31, 2019 and a decrease of $6.5 as of December 31, 2018. The Company’s net income was decreased by $1.5 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and net loss was increased by $12.0 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of the prescribed practice. The Company’s risk-based capital would not have triggered a regulatory event had the Company not used this prescribed practice.

IAC 191-97 Prescribed Practice
Effective April 1, 2016, after receipt of non-objection from the Iowa Division of Insurance, the Company adopted Iowa Administrative Code 191-97 Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments Used to Hedge the Growth in Interest Credited for Indexed Insurance Products and Accounting for the Indexed Insurance Products Reserve (“IAC 191-97”). Under the prescribed practice, the derivative transactions used to hedge the growth in interest credited on fixed indexed annuities will be carried at amortized cost, with the corresponding reserve liability calculation updated to assume the market value of the options to be zero. Iowa Rule 191-97 supersedes SSAP No. 86. As of June 30, 2018, the Company is no longer operating under this prescribed practice.

The impact related to this change in accounting principle before reinsurance was $266.5 as of the year ended December 31, 2018. Net of reinsurance, there was no impact for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s risk-based capital would not have triggered a regulatory event had the Company not used any of these prescribed practices.

Quasi-Reorganization Permitted Practice
On May 8, 2013, the Company, with the permission of the Commissioner, restated the gross paid-in and contributed surplus and the unassigned funds components of surplus, as of December 31, 2012, similar to the restatement of surplus that occurs pursuant to the prescribed accounting guidance for a quasi-reorganization under SSAP No. 72, Surplus and Quasi-Reorganizations (“SSAP No. 72”). The restatement resulted in a decrease to gross paid-in and contributed surplus and an increase in unassigned surplus of $1,659.0. This permitted practice had no impact on net income, total capital and surplus or risk-based capital.

The Company’s risk-based capital would not have triggered a regulatory event had the Company not used any of these prescribed practices.

Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Purposes Other than Trading

The Company enters into various derivative transactions to reduce and manage the risk of a change in value, yield, price, cash flow or quantity of, or a degree of exposure with respect to assets, liabilities, or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. The Company enters into credit default swaps to replicate the investment characteristics of permissible investments using the derivative in conjunction with other investments. The replication (synthetic asset) and the derivative and other cash instrument are carried at amortized cost. The replication practices are in accordance with SSAP No. 86 hedge accounting practices. The Company also enters into interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate exposure of certain mortgage backed related securities. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with SSAP No. 86 hedge accounting practices, and are carried at amortized cost. The Company does not receive hedge accounting treatment for any other derivative transactions.

The Company enters into the following type of derivatives: Credit Contracts, Equity Contracts, Foreign Exchange Contracts and Interest Rate Contracts. The Company's use and hedging strategy of derivatives is detailed in Note 1. Upfront fees paid or received on derivative contracts are included on the balance sheet as an asset or liability and are amortized to investment income over the remaining term of the contracts.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Periodic payments from such contracts are included in investment income on the statements of operations. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in other liabilities or accrued investment income on the balance sheet. Gains or losses realized as a result of early terminations are recognized in income in the statements of operations or deferred into IMR and amortized into investment income.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on certain derivative contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. The amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains in such contracts. The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparties’ credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.

Under the terms of the Company’s Over-The-Counter ("OTC") Derivative International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") agreements, the Company may receive from, or deliver to, counterparties, collateral to assure that all terms of the ISDA agreements will be met with regard to the Credit Support Annex ("CSA"). The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay interest on any cash received equal to the Federal Funds rate. Collateral held is used in accordance with the CSA to satisfy any obligations. Investment grade bonds owned by the Company are the source of noncash collateral posted, which is reported on the balance sheet.

The table below summarizes the Company's types and amounts of collateral held, pledged and delivered related to OTC derivative contracts and cleared derivative contracts:

The Company is required to post collateral for any futures contracts that are entered into. The amount of collateral required is determined by the exchange. The Company currently posts cash and U.S. Treasury Bonds to satisfy this collateral requirement.

The Company sells credit default swap protection, in conjunction with other investments, to replicate the income characteristics of otherwise permitted investments. The standard contract is five or seven years. In the event of default of the reference entity, the Company would be required to pay the notional amount of the contract. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the total amount would be $25.0 and $25.0, respectively.

Loan-to-value ("LTV") and debt service coverage ("DSC") ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of commercial mortgage loans. The LTV ratio, calculated at time of origination, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. An LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the value of the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property's net income (loss) to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.0 indicates that property's operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. These ratios are utilized as part of the review process described above.

*Commercial mortgage loans secured by land or construction loans

If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect on all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or fair value of the collateral.

Employee Benefit Plans

Effective June 1, 2018, VSC created and sponsors the Venerable 401 (k) Savings Plan (the “Venerable Savings Plan”). The Venerable Savings Plan is a tax qualified defined contribution plan. Substantially all employees of VSC are eligible to participate, and are automatically enrolled in the Venerable Savings Plan with a minimum deferral of 3% of eligible compensation (unless participation is affirmatively declined). VSC will also match employee pretax contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. All matching contributions are subject to a 4 year graded vesting schedule. All contributions made to the Savings Plan were subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. Venerable Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"). The Venerable Savings Plan may also allocate amongst eligible participants, a profit sharing contribution of up to a maximum 4% of eligible compensation. Amounts allocated to the Company for the Venerable Savings Plan were $4.0 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and $0.9 for the seven months ended December 31, 2018.

The aggregate fair value of equity securities, including mutual funds, supporting separate accounts with additional insurance benefits and minimum investment return guarantees as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $25.0 billion and $23.8 billion, respectively.

The Company has products classified within the separate account for which the investment directive is not determined by the contract holder. If these investments had been included in the general account, the Company would not have exceeded the investment limitations imposed on the general account.

The Company has separate account assets for which less than 100% of investment proceeds, net of contract fees and assessments, are attributed to the contract holder. The reinvestment of these investment proceeds within the separate account would not have resulted in a combined investment portfolio that exceeds the state investment limitations imposed on the general account.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company has entered into a federal tax sharing agreement with members of an affiliated group as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

11. Reinsurance

The Company utilizes reinsurance transactions to reduce its exposure to large losses. The Company bases its selection of a reinsurer on the financial strength of the reinsurer. Reinsurance treaties can be either in the form of ceding or assuming and are structured as monthly or yearly renewable term, coinsurance, modified coinsurance, funds withheld or a combination thereof. Reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the Company’s primary liability as the direct insurer of the risks. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under these treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the reinsurer and monitors concentrations of credit risk.

The Company’s ceded reinsurance arrangements reduced certain items in the accompanying financial statements by the following amounts:

Assumed premiums amounted to $0.0 and $(107.0) for years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Reinsurance Transactions

The Company reinsures its previously issued, closed block variable annuity contracts to affiliated reinsurers.

Effective May 31, 2018, and in accordance with the Acquisition described in Note 1, the Company recaptured its variable annuity guaranteed living benefit business previously reinsured to Roaring River II, Inc. ("RRII") Effective June 1, 2018, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with Rocky Range an Arizona pure captive insurance company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Under this agreement the Company cedes, on a funds withheld coinsurance and modified coinsurance basis, its variable annuity business to Rocky Range, which completes its financial statements on a modified U.S. GAAP basis.

The agreement has the economic impact of ceding 100% of the closed block variable annuity contracts previously issued by the Company, which includes contracts with multiple rider guarantees, including minimum accumulation, income, death, and withdrawal benefits policies. Also, as a result of the reinsurance agreement Rocky Range can use letters of credit, which would not be admitted assets to the Company, to back some or all of the reserves. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company reinsures to Rocky Range on a funds withheld basis, 100% of the general account liabilities of the reinsured policies. The agreement also cedes on a modified coinsurance basis, 100% of the separate account liabilities. Under the modified coinsurance structure the Company retains control and owns all assets contained in the separate account and holds separate account reserves.

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

The Company also entered into two retrocession agreements with Athene Life Re Ltd., ("ALRe"), a Bermuda reinsurer and wholly owned subsidiary of Athene, and Athene Annuity & Life Assurance Company, ("AADE"), an insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Athene. Effective December 31, 2019, the ALRe agreement was novated to Athene Annuity Re Ltd. ("AARe"), a Bermuda reinsurer and wholly-owned subsidiary of Athene. These two treaties have the impact of ceding 100% of the net liability associated with the GMIB-annuitized contracts from Rocky Range to AARe and AADE. Under the ALRe retrocession agreement, 80% of the liability associated with annuitized GMIB contracts is ceded from Rocky Range to AARe on a modified coinsurance funds withheld basis. Under the AADE retrocession agreement, 20% of the liability associated with annuitized GMIB contracts is ceded from Rocky Range to AADE on a coinsurance basis. AARe and AADE are then ultimately liable directly to the Company. All other payout annuities are reinsured at annuitization by Rocky Range to the Company, who pays the Company the statutory carrying value of the annuitization reserve at the annuitization date. Any contracts which annuitize or reach withdrawal benefit payout during the reporting period are “paid” by the Company to Rocky Range via release of the separate account assets and funds withheld assets backing the general account liability.

The amount of reserves held by the captive reinsurer was $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2019. The reserving basis is AG43 for all deferred individual and group variable policies with guaranteed benefits. Rocky Range maintains a variable annuity hedge program that is designed to mitigate market risk arising primarily from the minimum guarantees within the variable annuity products, whose economic costs are primarily dependent on future equity market returns, interest rate levels, equity volatility levels and policyholder behavior. The hedge target of the variable annuity hedge program is regulatory and rating agency capital and their sensitivities to immediate market movements.

Rocky Range is domiciled in the the State of Arizona and under Arizona Insurance Statutes ("ARS") 20-1098.07(A), the Arizona Department of Insurance ("ADOI") permits a regulatory basis of accounting where a captive insurer may use U.S. GAAP or SSAP to prepare financial statement filings. Rocky Range has elected the U.S. GAAP basis of accounting. When a captive insurer elects to use U.S. GAAP, however, it is required to follow certain prescribed practices required by the ADOI, as follows:

1) Reinsurance reserve credits and recoverables are recorded as reductions from gross reserve liabilities, rather than as assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP;
2) Letters of credit ("LOC") provided as capital funds are recorded as assets and reported at face value;
3) Surplus notes issued are recorded as surplus items in Shareholder's equity, rather than as a liability in accordance with U.S. GAAP;
4) Fixed assets and prepaid expenses are recorded in Other assets; and
5) Deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") are recorded as assets, consistent with U.S. GAAP, and are reported in Other assets.

In addition to the above described prescribed practices, Rocky Range has been granted approval by the ADOI to apply the following permitted practices:

1) To make retroactive capital contributions as permitted by SSAP 72, and notify the ADOI prior to posting the receivable, if utilized.
2) To record future policy benefit reserves assumed under various reinsurance agreements based on SSAP with an offsetting Sundry asset recorded, which is the excess of the SSAP reserve over the U.S. GAAP reserve.
3) To present the U.S. GAAP deferred gain resulting from its assumption of the business from the Company, net of related federal income taxes, as a separate component of Shareholder's Equity. Amortization of the deferred liability will be recognized as income over the remaining lives of the underlying reinsured contracts, and the related tax impacts on federal income taxes will be included in income tax expense (benefit), in the Statement of Operations.
4) To hold a receivable in the funds withheld account and modified coinsurance account it establishes for AADE and ALRe, respectively. Since the assets withheld by Rocky Range under the two retrocession agreements will be held by VIAC (which is Rocky Range's direct parent), Rocky Range will continue to take reinsurance reserve credits for the reserves ceded under the two retrocession agreements to the extent the assets are held by VIAC rather than Rocky Range.

The Company reinsures 100% of its previously issued, fixed and fixed indexed annuity contracts to affiliated reinsurers.

Effective June 1, 2018, and in accordance with the Acquisition described in Note 1, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with ALRe, under which the Company cedes on a modified coinsurance basis an eighty percent (80%) quota share of certain liabilities with respect to certain fixed annuity business of the Company. Effective December 31, 2019, the ALRe agreement was novated to AARe, a Bermuda reinsurer and wholly-owned subsidiary of Athene. AARe transferred to ALRe, on behalf of the Company, assets with a fair market value of $225.5 as of December 31, 2019. As a result, the Company's obligation to pay the unamortized ceding commission to ALRe, and AARe's obligation to pay the ceding commission to the Company, are both satisfied by the transfer of assets by AARe to ALRe.

Effective June 1, 2018, and in accordance with the Acquisition described in Note 1, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with AADE, under which the Company cedes on a coinsurance basis a twenty percent (20%) quota share of certain liabilities with respect to certain fixed annuity business of the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid ceding commissions, net of other post-Acquisition reinsurance activity, of $1.4 billion and $349.3 to ALRe and AADE, respectively. The amount of reserves held as of December 31, 2019 were $12.5 billion and $3.0 billion, to ALRe and AADE, respectively.

The Company reinsures its remaining business to third party reinsurers, in accordance with the Acquisition described in Note 1. Most notable of which was the reinsurance agreement with Reliastar Life Insurance Company, an insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Minnesota and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Voya Financial. Effective April 1, 2018, the Company cedes on a coinsurance and modified coinsurance basis, its traditional individual life insurance, supplemental contracts consisting of life insurance proceeds, and certain deferred annuity and investment-only policies of the Company. The amount of reserves held was $981.2 and $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Capital and Surplus

Under Iowa insurance regulations, the Company is required to maintain a minimum total capital and surplus of the greater of $5.0 or Risk Based Capital ("RBC"). Additionally, an extraordinary dividend or distribution is defined as a dividend or distribution that, together with other dividends and distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) 10% of the insurer's policyholder surplus as of the preceding December 31; or (2) the insurer's net gain from operations for the twelve-month period ended the preceding December 31, in each case determined in accordance with statutory accounting principles. Dividends are paid as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. An extraordinary dividend or distribution cannot be paid without the prior approval of the Iowa Insurance Division. In addition, no dividend or other distribution exceeding an amount equal to an insurance company's earned surplus may be paid without the domiciliary insurance regulator's prior approval.

On December 8, 1999, the Company issued an 8.0% surplus note in the amount of $35.0 to First Columbine Life Insurance Company (“First Columbine”), a Colorado corporation and at the time, an affiliate of the Company.

13.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of an asset is the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value of a liability is the amount at which that liability could be incurred or settled in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. When market prices are not available, fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality (matrix pricing). In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, fair value can be estimated using methods, models and assumptions market participants would use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some level of estimation and judgment which becomes more significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models.Where appropriate, adjustments are included to reflect the risk inherent in a particular methodology, model or input used.

In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Life insurance liabilities that contain mortality risk and all non-financial instruments have been excluded from the disclosure requirements.However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto:

Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Bonds and equity securities: The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its bonds, preferred stocks and common stocks reported herein in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair value measurement as prescribed in SSAP No. 100, Fair Value ("SSAP No. 100"). Valuations are obtained from third party commercial pricing services and asset managers.

Mortgage loans: Estimated fair values for commercial real estate loans were provided by asset managers.

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for derivative financial instruments are obtained from third party commercial pricing services or based on prices from market data providers.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Individual and group annuities: The fair values for individual and group annuities with defined maturities are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. For individual and group annuities, fair value is estimated to be the present surrender value.

Assets held in separate accounts: Assets held in separate accounts, excluding MVA’s, are reported at the quoted fair values of the underlying investments in the separate account. The underlying investments include mutual funds, short-term investments and cash, the valuation of which are based upon quoted market prices.

The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates their fair value.

Included in various investment related line items in the financial statements are certain financial instruments carried at fair value. Other financial instruments are periodically measured at fair value, such as when impaired, or, for certain bonds and preferred stock when carried at the lower of cost or market.

Derivatives are carried at fair value, which is obtained from third party commercial pricing services or based on prices from the market data providers. Derivatives which qualify for special hedge accounting treatment are reported in a manner that is consistent with the accounting for the hedged asset or liability.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the balance sheets are categorized as follows:

 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.
 
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

a)
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

b)
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

c)
Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and

d)
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
 
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the reported values for the investments and derivatives described below:

Bonds and other invested assets: Securities that are carried at fair value on the balance sheet are classified as Level 2 or Level 3. Level 2 bond prices are obtained through several commercial pricing services, which incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation techniques, including benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, credit quality, issuer spreads, bids, offers and other reference data to provide estimated fair values. The fair value for privately placed bonds and other invested assets are provided by asset managers and are classified as Level 3 assets.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Preferred and Common Stocks: Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. Fair values of private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, are provided by asset managers and are classified as Level 3 assets.

Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts for cash reflect the assets’ fair values. The fair values for cash equivalents and short-term investments are determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1.

Assets held in separate accounts: Assets held in separate accounts, excluding MVA’s, are reported at the quoted fair values of the underlying investments in the separate accounts. The underlying investments can include mutual funds, short-term investments and cash, the valuation of which are based upon a quoted market price and are included in Level 1. The underlying investments can also include bonds the valuation of which are obtained from third party commercial pricing services and brokers and are classified in the fair value hierarchy as either Level 2 or Level 3, consistent with the policies described above for fixed maturities.

Derivatives: The carrying amounts for these financial instruments, which can be assets or liabilities, reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Certain derivatives are carried at fair value (on the balance sheets), which is obtained from third party commercial pricing services or based on prices from market data providers. All derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

Mortgage loans: The fair values for mortgage loans are provided by asset managers. Mortgage loans are classified as Level 3.

Contract loans: The fair value of contract loans approximates the carrying value of the loans. Contract loans are collateralized by the cash surrender value of the associated insurance contracts and are classified as Level 1.

Deposit type contracts: Fair value is estimated as the present value of expected cash flows associated with the contract liabilities discounted using risk-free rates plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. The valuation is consistent with current market parameters. Margins for non-financial risks associated with the contract liabilities are also included. These liabilities are classified as Level 3. For certain deposit type contracts, fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows at rates that are risk-free rates plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. These liabilities are classified as Level 2.

There were no transfers in and out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2019. Securities that are primarily valued using independent broker quotes when prices are not available from one of the commercial pricing services are reflected as transfers into Level 3, as these securities are generally less liquid with very limited trading activity or where less transparency exists corroborating the inputs to the valuation methodologies. When securities are valued using more widely available information, the securities are transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 1 or 2, as appropriate.

Transfers in and out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2018 are due to the variation in inputs relied upon for valuation each quarter. Securities that are primarily valued using independent broker quotes when prices are not available from one of the commercial pricing services are reflected as transfers into Level 3, as these securities are generally less liquid with very limited trading activity or where less transparency exists corroborating the inputs to the valuation methodologies. When securities are valued using more widely available information, the securities are transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 1 or 2, as appropriate.

The amount reflected above for the transfer into Level 3 for Equity Contracts is due to the Company's change in application of the IAC 191-97 Prescribed Practice, as described in Note 2. These Equity Contracts are Level 3 assets, and financial instruments measured and reported at fair value as of December 31, 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases - The Company is party to certain cost-sharing arrangements and service agreements with other affiliated companies. Included in these cost-sharing arrangements is rent expense, which is allocated to the Company in accordance with systematic cost allocation arrangements. The Company incurred rent expense of $1.6 as of December 31, 2019, and $0.7 for the seven months ended December 31, 2018 under this cost-sharing methodology.

Legal Proceedings - The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. In addition, the life insurance industry has experienced litigation alleging, for example, that insurance companies have breached the terms of their life insurance policies by increasing the insurance rates of the applicable policies inappropriately or by factoring into rate adjustments elements not disclosed under the terms of the applicable policies, and, consequently, unjustly enriched themselves. This litigation is generally known as cost of insurance litigation. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/ arbitrations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial position.

Regulatory Matters - As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with examinations, inquiries, investigations and audits of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. Some of the investigations, examinations, audits and inquiries could result in regulatory action against the Company. The potential outcome of such regulatory action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, additional payments to beneficiaries, settlement payments, penalties, fines and other financial liability, and changes to the Company's policies and procedures. The potential economic consequences cannot be predicted, but management does not believe that the outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. It is the practice of the Company and its affiliates to cooperate fully in these matters.

Investment Purchase Commitments: As part of its overall investment strategy, the Company has entered into agreements to purchase private placements and commercial mortgages of $2.6 and $45.7 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company is also committed to provide additional capital contributions to partnerships of $280.3 and $203.1 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Liquidity: The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are product charges, investment income, premiums, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investments, and capital contributions. Primary uses of these funds are payments of commissions and operating expenses, interest credits, investment purchases, and contract maturities, death benefits, withdrawals, surrenders, and dividends to its parent.

The Company’s liquidity position is managed by maintaining adequate levels of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. In addition, the investment portfolio is primarily composed of high quality fixed income investments, which include holdings of U.S. Government securities, high quality corporate bonds and agency backed residential mortgage backed securities. Asset/liability management is integrated into many aspects of the Company’s operations, including investment decisions, product development, and determination of crediting rates. As part of the risk management process, different economic scenarios are modeled, including cash flow testing required for insurance regulatory purposes, to determine that existing assets are adequate to meet projected liability cash flows. Key variables in the modeling process include interest rates, anticipated contract owner behavior, and variable separate account performance. Contract owners bear the investment risk related to variable annuity products, subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guaranteed rates.

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis
December 31, 2019

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

The fixed account liabilities are supported by a general account portfolio principally composed of fixed rate investments with matching duration characteristics that can generate predictable, steady rates of return. The portfolio management strategy for the general account considers the assets available-for-sale. This strategy enables the Company to respond to changes in market interest rates, prepayment risk, relative values of asset sectors and individual securities and loans, credit quality outlook, and other relevant factors. The Company’s asset/liability management discipline includes strategies to minimize exposure to loss as interest rates and economic and market conditions change. In executing this strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments to manage these risks. The Company’s derivative counterparties are of high credit quality.

As a result of the Acquisition discussed in Note 1, the rating agencies no longer provide their specific views of the Company's financial strength by way of a rating action.

17.
Guaranty Fund Assessments

Insurance companies are assessed the costs of funding the insolvencies of other insurance companies by the various state guaranty associations, generally based on the amount of premium companies collect in that state. The Company accrues for the cost of potential future guaranty fund assessments based on estimates of insurance company insolvencies provided by the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations and the amount of premiums written in each state. The accrual methodology follows a retrospective-premium-based guaranty-fund assessments construct. The Company has estimated and recorded this liability to be $0.1 and $0.1 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the balance sheets. The Company has also recorded an asset in other assets on the balance sheets of $0.6 and $0.7 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for future credits to premium taxes for assessments already paid and/or accrued. The periods over which the guaranty fund assessments are expected to be paid, the related premium tax offsets are expected to be realized and the additional industry support is expected to be paid are unknown at this time.

There are no premium tax offsets where it is reasonably possible that an impairment has occurred in accordance with SSAP No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets ("SSAP No. 5R").

Subsequent Events

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) outbreak was a global health emergency. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization raised the COVID-19 outbreak to “pandemic” status. Following these events, numerous cities, states, and countries issued

shelter in place orders requesting or requiring residents to remain at home. The Company can experience increased risk of loss any time unforeseen infectious diseases impact large portions of certain populations. Specifically, the Company’s business could experience losses resulting from COVID-19 related impacts as a result of complete or partial closure of the Company’s or its vendors’ facilities, labor shortages, disruptions in public and private infrastructure, and increased cybersecurity and information security risk as a result of the transition of a significant subset of employee and vendor populations to a remote work environment. As a result of a pandemic and other geopolitical factors, the Company could also experience losses in its investment portfolio as a result of volatile markets. Due to the recentness and unprecedented nature of these events, as well as the rapid development and fluidity of the situation, the Company is unable at this time to determine whether losses may occur or, if so, the extent of any adverse impact.

Other than as described above, the Company is not aware of any events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2019 that may have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2019 through March 26, 2020, the date the statutory financial statements were available to be issued.
