SECTION 2: OWNERSHIP AND BENEFICIARY PROVISIONS

2.01 RIGHTS OF OWNER
The Owner has the sole and absolute power to exercise all rights and privileges in this Contract. Upon the death of an Owner or the Annuitant, the Death Benefit Provisions section will apply.

2.02 CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
The Owner may, by written Request, change the Ownership. The Company shall not be bound by any change of Ownership unless it is made in writing in a form satisfactory to the Company and recorded. A change in Ownership will take effect as of the date the written Request is signed, unless otherwise specified by the Owner subject to payments made or actions taken by the Company prior to receipt of the Request. The change is subject to any action taken or payout made by the Company before the change was recorded.

2.03 ASSIGNMENT
The Owner may Request to assign this Contract. The Company will not record an assignment until the original or a certified copy is received at the Retirement Resource Operations Center. The assignment will be effective on the date the Request is signed, unless otherwise specified by the Owner subject to payments made or actions taken by the Company prior to receipt of the Request. When recorded, the Owner’s rights and those of the Beneficiary are subject to the assignment. The Company is not responsible for the validity of any assignment. The Rider is not assignable.

2.04 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY
Unless changed as provided below, or as otherwise required by law, the Beneficiary (and the Contingent Beneficiary, if one is named) will be as shown on the Contract Data Page. Unless otherwise indicated, if more than one Beneficiary is designated, then each such Beneficiary so designated will share equally in any benefits and or rights granted by the Contract to such Beneficiary, or allowed by the Company. The Company may rely on an affidavit by any responsible person to identify a Beneficiary or verify the non-existence of a Beneficiary not identified by name.

2.05 CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY
The Owner may change the Beneficiary by written Request. The Company shall not be bound by any change of Beneficiary unless it is made in writing and recorded at the Retirement Resource Operations Center. A change of Beneficiary will take effect as of the date the written Request was signed, subject to receipt at the Retirement Resource Operations Center, unless a certain date is specified by the Owner.

If an Owner dies before the date the Request was processed, the change will take effect as of the date of the Request, unless the Company has already made a payout or has otherwise taken action on a designation or change before receipt or processing of such Request. If an Owner dies, and the surviving Joint Owner is the surviving Spouse of




the deceased Owner, the surviving Spouse will become the Beneficiary and may take the death benefit or elect to continue this Contract in force.

An irrevocable Beneficiary designation may not be changed without the written consent of that Beneficiary, except to the extent required by law.

2.06 CONTINGENT BENEFICIARY
While the Annuitant is alive, the Owner may, by written Request, designate or change a Contingent Beneficiary from time to time. The Company shall not be bound by any change of Contingent Beneficiary unless it is made in writing and recorded at the Retirement Resource Operations Center.

2.07 DEATH OF BENEFICIARY
The interest of any Beneficiary who dies before an Owner or the Annuitant will terminate at the death of such Beneficiary and the Contingent Beneficiary, if any, will become the Beneficiary. The interest of any Beneficiary who dies at the time of, or within 30 days after, the death of an Owner or the Annuitant will also terminate if no benefits have been paid to such Beneficiary, unless the Owner has indicated otherwise by Request. The benefits will then be paid as though the Beneficiary had died before the deceased Owner or Annuitant.

2.08 SUCCESSIVE BENEFICIARIES
If an Owner dies, and the surviving Joint Owner is the surviving Spouse of the deceased Owner, the surviving Spouse will become the Beneficiary and may take the death benefit or elect to continue this Contract in force. If there is no surviving Joint Owner, and no named Beneficiary is alive at the time of an Owner’s death, any benefits payable will be paid to the Owner’s estate.

2.09 ANNUITANT
While the Annuitant is living and at least 30 days prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Owner may, by Request, change the Annuitant. The Company shall not be bound by a change of Annuitant unless it is made in writing and recorded at the Retirement Resource Operations Center.

The portion of the assets of the Series Account equal to the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the Series Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

SECTION 3: CONTRIBUTIONS

3.01 EFFECTIVE DATE
The Effective Date, shown on the Contract Data Page, is the date the initial Contribution is credited to the
Annuity Account.

3.02 CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributions can be made through the Retirement Resource Operations Center at any time during the Accumulation Period. Please see the Contract Data Page for the minimum Contribution amount accepted by the Company. Coverage will begin on the Effective Date.

At any time after the Effective Date and during the lifetime of the Annuitant, before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Owner may make additional Contributions. Please see the Contract Data Page for the accepted Contribution amounts. The Company may modify these limitations, by lowering minimum applicable requirements or accepting




larger maximum total Contributions.

If a Contribution is cancelled or if a check for a Contribution is returned due to insufficient funds, the Owner will be responsible for any losses or fees imposed by the bank and losses that may be incurred as a result of any decline in the value of the cancelled purchase. The Company reserves the right to refrain from allocating Contributions to the selected Sub-Accounts until notification is received that the check for the Contribution has cleared.

3.03 ALLOCATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS
If the application is in good order, the initial Contribution will be applied within two Business Days of receipt at the Retirement Resource Operations Center. During the right to cancel period, all Contributions will be allocated in one or more of the Sub-Account(s) as specified in the application. During the right to cancel period, the Owner may change the allocations to the Sub-Accounts.

Subsequent Contributions will be allocated to the Annuity Account in the proportion Requested by the Owner. If there are no accompanying instructions, then allocations will be made in accordance with standing instructions. Allocations will be effective upon the Transaction Date.


SECTION 4: ANNUITY ACCOUNT VALUE PROVISIONS

4.01 ANNUITY ACCOUNT VALUE
The Annuity Account Value for the Owner on any date during the Accumulation Period will be the sum of the values of the Owner's interests in each Sub-Account.

The value of the Owner’s interest in a Sub-Account will be determined by multiplying the number of the Owner's
Accumulation Units by the accumulation unit value for that Sub-Account.

4.02 ACCUMULATION UNITS
For each Contribution, the number of Accumulation Units credited to the Owner for a Sub-Account will be determined by dividing the amount of the Contribution, by the accumulation unit value for that Sub-Account on the applicable Transaction Date.

4.03 ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The initial accumulation unit value of each Sub-Account was established at $10. The accumulation unit value of a Sub-Account on a Valuation Date is calculated by multiplying the accumulation unit value as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date by the net investment factor as described in the Net Investment Factor provision below.

The dollar value of an Accumulation Unit will vary in amount depending on the investment experience of the
Portfolio and charges taken from the Sub-Account.

4.04 NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The net investment factor for any Sub-Account for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b), and subtracting (c) from the result where:

(a) is the net result of:
(i) the net asset value per share of the Portfolio shares held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the current Valuation Period; plus
(ii) the per share amount of any dividend (or, if applicable, capital gain distributions) made by the applicable Portfolio on shares held in the Sub-Account if the "ex-dividend" date occurs during the current Valuation Period; minus or plus
(iii) a per unit charge or credit for any taxes incurred by or reserved for in the Sub-Account, which is determined by the Company to have resulted from the investment operations of the Sub-Account.

(b) is the net result of:
(i) the net asset value per share of the Portfolio shares held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period; minus or plus
(ii) the per unit charge or credit for any taxes incurred by or reserved for in the Sub-Account for the immediately preceding Valuation Period.





(c) is an amount representing the Mortality and Expense risk charge deducted from each Sub-Account on a daily basis, equal to an annual rate as shown in the Charges section on the Contract Data Page as a percentage of the daily net asset value of each Sub-Account.

The net investment factor may be greater than, less than, or equal to one. Therefore, the accumulation unit value may increase, decrease or remain unchanged.

4.05 MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
The Mortality and Expense risk charge compensates the Company for its assumption of certain Mortality and Expense risks. The Mortality and Expense risk charge is reflected in the unit values of each of the Sub- Accounts selected. As a result, this charge will continue to be applicable to any variable annuity payout option or periodic withdrawal option.

This charge is described above in the Net Investment Factor provision.


SECTION 5: TRANSFER PROVISIONS

5.01 TRANSFERS
The Owner may make Transfers by Request. The following provisions apply:
(a) At any time this Contract is in force the Owner, by Request, may Transfer all or a portion of the Annuity
Account Value among the Sub-Accounts currently offered by the Company. (b)    A Transfer will be effective upon the Transaction Date.
(c) Each Contract Year you are allowed the number of free Transfers as shown in the Contract Data Page.
We may impose a Transfer fee for each Transfer you make in excess of the free Transfers allowed; and
(d) Transfers to and from the Income Strategy are subject to the provisions of the Rider attached to this
Contract; and
(e) Transfers after the Annuity Commencement Date are subject to the restrictions of Section 9.03.

5.02 DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
By Request, the Owner may elect Dollar Cost Averaging in order to purchase units of the Sub-Accounts over a period of time.

The Owner may Request to automatically Transfer a predetermined dollar amount, subject to the Company’s minimum of $100, at regular intervals from the money market Sub-Account to one or more of the remaining, then available, Sub-Accounts. The unit value will be determined on the dates of the Transfers. The Owner must specify the percentage to be Transferred into each designated Sub-Account. Transfers may be set up on any one of the following frequency periods; monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. The Transfer will be initiated on the Transaction Date one frequency period following the date of the Request.

The Company will provide a list of Sub-Accounts eligible for Dollar Cost Averaging which may be modified from time to time.

The Owner may terminate Dollar Cost Averaging at any time by Request. Dollar Cost Averaging will terminate automatically upon the Annuity Commencement Date.

Participation in Dollar Cost Averaging and the Rebalancer Option at the same time is not allowed. Participation in Dollar Cost Averaging does not assure a greater profit, or any profit, nor will it prevent or necessarily alleviate losses in a declining market. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate Dollar Cost Averaging at any time.

5.03 THE REBALANCER OPTION
By Request, the Owner may elect the Rebalancer Option only with respect to the Investment Strategy in order to automatically Transfer among the Sub-Accounts in the Investment Strategy on a periodic basis. This type of Transfer program automatically reallocates the Investment Strategy Account Value to maintain a particular percentage allocation among Sub-Accounts selected by the Owner. The amount allocated to each Sub-Account will grow or decline at different rates depending on the investment experience of the Sub-Account.





The Owner may Request that rebalancing occur one time only, in which case the Transfer will take place on the
Transaction Date of the Request.

Rebalancing may also be set up on a quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis, in which case the first Transfer will be initiated on the Transaction Date one frequency period following the date of the Request.

On the Transaction Date for the specified Request, assets will be automatically reallocated to the selected Portfolios. Rebalancing will continue on the same Transaction Date for subsequent periods. In order to participate in the Rebalancer Option, the entire Investment Strategy Account Value must be included.

The Owner must specify the percentage of the Investment Strategy Account Value to be allocated to each Sub-Account and the frequency of rebalancing. The Owner may terminate the Rebalancer Option at any time by Request. The Rebalancer Option will terminate automatically upon the Annuity Commencement Date.

Participation in the Rebalancer Option and Dollar Cost Averaging at the same time is not allowed. Participation in the Rebalancer Option does not assure a greater profit, nor will it prevent or necessarily alleviate losses in a declining market. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Rebalancer Option at any time.


SECTION 6: DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS

6.01 PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT
Upon Due Proof of Death of an Owner and while this Contract is in force, the death benefit will become payable in accordance with these provisions and subject to Section 72(s) of the Code following the Company’s receipt of a Request.

When an Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date and a death benefit is payable to a Beneficiary, the death benefit proceeds will remain invested in accordance with the allocation instructions given by the Owner until new allocation instructions are Requested by the Beneficiary or until the death benefit is actually paid to the Beneficiary. The death benefit will be determined as of the date payments commence. However, on the date a payout option is processed, amounts in the Sub-Account will be Transferred to the Money Market Sub-Account unless the Beneficiary otherwise elects by Request. Distribution of the death benefit may be Requested to be made as follows (subject to the distribution rules set forth below):

1. payment in a single sum; or

2. payout under any of the variable annuity options provided under the Contract.

The Death Benefit is determined by the Death Benefit as shown on the Contract Data Page and whether the death of the Owner or Annuitant occurs before or after the Annuity Commencement Date.

6.02 DEATH BENEFIT
The death benefit will be the greater of:
• the Annuity Account Value as of the date the Request for payment is received less Premium Tax, if any, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 4.11 of the Rider, if applicable, or
• the sum of Contributions applied to the Contract as of the date the Request for payment is received, less the impact of partial withdrawals, periodic withdrawals, and surrenders and Premium Tax, if any.

6.03 DISTRIBUTION RULES
If Annuitant Dies Before Annuity Commencement Date
If the Owner is living and the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contract will continue and no death benefit will be payable. If no Contingent Annuitant has been named, the Owner (or the Grantor if the Owner is a Grantor Trust, or the Underlying IRA holder if the Owner is the Custodian or Trustee of an IRA account) will become the Annuitant.
If an Owner Dies Before Annuity Commencement Date
If an Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, and such Owner was not the Annuitant, the following




provisions shall apply:

(1) If there is a Joint Owner who is the surviving Spouse of the deceased Owner, the Joint Owner will become the Owner and Beneficiary and may take the death benefit or elect to continue this Contract in force.

(2) In all other cases, the Company will pay the death benefit to the Beneficiary even if a former Spouse Joint Owner, the Annuitant and/or the Contingent Annuitant are alive at the time of the Owner’s death, unless the sole Beneficiary is the deceased Owner’s surviving Spouse and such Beneficiary Requests to become the Owner and the Annuitant and to continue the Contract in force.

Any death benefit payable to the Beneficiary upon an Owner’s death will be distributed as follows:

(1) If the Owner’s surviving Spouse is the person entitled to receive benefits upon the Owner’s death, the surviving Spouse will be treated as the Owner and will be allowed to take the death benefit or continue the Contract in force; or

(2) If a non-Spouse individual is the person entitled to receive benefits upon the Owner’s death, such individual may elect, not later than one year after the Owner’s date of death, to receive the death benefit in either a single sum or payout under any of the variable annuity options available under the Contract, provided that: (a) such annuity is distributed in substantially equal installments over the life or life expectancy of such Beneficiary; and (b) such distributions begin not later than one year after the Owner’s date of death. If no election is received by the Company from an individual non-Spouse Beneficiary such that substantially equal installments have begun no later than one year after the Owner’s date of death, then the entire amount must be distributed within five years of the Owner’s date of death.

The death benefit will be determined as of the date the payouts commence.

If Annuitant Dies After Annuity Commencement Date
Upon the death of the any Annuitant after the Annuity Commencement Date, any benefit payable must be distributed to the Beneficiary in accordance with and at least as rapidly as under the annuity option then in effect.

If an Owner Dies After Annuity Commencement Date and While the Annuitant is Living
Upon the death of an Owner after the Annuity Commencement Date and while the Annuitant is living, any benefit payable will continue to be distributed to the Annuitant at least as rapidly as under the annuity option then in effect. All of the Owner’s rights granted under the Contract or allowed by the Company will pass to any surviving Joint Owner and, if none, to the Annuitant.

6.04 COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 72(s)
In any event, no payout of benefits provided under the Contract will be allowed that does not satisfy the requirements of Code Section 72(s), as amended from time to time, and any other applicable federal or state law, rules or regulations. These death benefit provisions will be interpreted and administered in accordance with such requirements.


SECTION 7: SURRENDERS AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

7.01 SURRENDER
At any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and subject to the provisions of this Contract, the Owner may surrender this Contract for the Surrender Value which will be computed as of the Transaction Date. The Surrender Value will comply with the minimum nonforfeiture requirements as described in the NAIC Variable Annuity Model Regulation Section 7. Thus, the death benefit will always be greater than or equal to the Surrender Value per minimum nonforfeiture requirements. The Company generally will pay the Surrender Value in a single sum within 7 days after receipt of the Request. A full surrender of this Contract will terminate the Contract and Rider and all benefits therein. Surrenders are subject to Withdrawal Charge.

7.02 PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
The Owner, by Request, may make a partial withdrawal from the Annuity Account Value during the Accumulation Period. Partial withdrawals are subject to the Withdrawal Charge. The Owner must elect the Sub-Account or combination of them, from which a partial withdrawal is to be made and the amount to be withdrawn from each Sub-




Account. Partial withdrawals from the Income Strategy are subject to terms of the Rider.

The minimum partial withdrawal amount is $500. After any partial withdrawal, if the remaining Investment Strategy Account Value is less than $2,000, and no contributions have been made for at least two years, then a full surrender of the Investment Strategy may be required.

The Annuity Account Value will be reduced by the partial withdrawal amount and the guaranteed minimum death benefit, if applicable, will be reduced on a pro-rated basis.

Numerical Example

Sum of Contract Contributions = $50,000

Annuity Account Value = $40,000

Withdrawal amount* - $4,000

Adjustment = $36,000 ($40,000 - $4,000)/$40,000 = 0.90

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit = $45,000 ($50,000 x 0.90)
*Withdrawal amount subject to a Withdrawal Charge. The following terms apply:
(a) No partial withdrawals are permitted after the Annuity Commencement Date, except as provided by the
Rider, if applicable.
(b) If a partial withdrawal is made within 30 days of the date annuity payouts are scheduled to commence, the
Company may delay the Annuity Commencement Date by 30 days. (c)    A partial withdrawal will be effective upon the Transaction Date.
(d) Partial withdrawals are subject to the Withdrawal Charge provisions of section 7.03, below.

7.03 WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
The Company assesses a Withdrawal Charge when the Owner makes a full surrender or partial withdrawals. The Withdrawal Charge is calculated as a percentage of the Contributions being withdrawn. The Withdrawal Charge percentage varies with the number of years that have elapsed since each Contribution being withdrawn was made. Please see the Withdrawal Charges schedule on the Contract Data Page.

For purposes of calculating the Withdrawal Charge, the Company will deem the oldest Contributions to be withdrawn first.

For purposes of calculating the Withdrawal Charge, the Company will deem Contributions to be withdrawn before any earnings. After the amount of all Contributions has been withdrawn, all remaining withdrawals will be free of the Withdrawal Charge.

7.04 FREE WITHDRAWALS
During each year, beginning on the Effective Date and renewing on each anniversary of the Effective Date, the Owner is allowed a percentage of withdrawals that are free of a Withdrawal Charge. The annual amount of free withdrawals is 10% of the sum of Contributions that are less than the surrender charge period and that were made as of the most recent Effective Date anniversary. For purposes of calculating subsequent Withdrawal Charges, free withdrawals reduce the amount of the oldest remaining Contribution(s).

7.05 POSTPONEMENT
If the Company receives a Request for surrender or partial withdrawal, the Company may postpone any cash payment from the Annuity Account Value, for no more than 7 days.

The Company may delay payment for:
(a) any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holding closings) or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;




(b) any period during which an emergency exists such that the disposal of or the determination of the value of shares of the Portfolios is not reasonably practicable; or
(c) any other period as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of
security holders.

SECTION 9: PAYOUT OPTIONS

9.01 HOW TO ELECT
The Request of the Owner is required to elect, or change the election of, a payout option and must be received by the Company at least 30 days prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. The annuity benefits at the time of their commencement will not be less than those that would be provided by the contract accumulation amount to purchase a single premium immediate annuity contract at purchase rates offered by the company at that time to the same class of annuitants.

On the Annuity Commencement Date, the Investment Strategy Account Value or Annuity Account Value, pursuant to Section 9.08, may be applied to any of the variable annuity payout options currently available.

If an option has not been elected within 30 days of the Annuity Commencement Date, the Investment Strategy Account Value or Annuity Account Value, pursuant to Section 9.08, will be applied under Variable Annuity Payout Option 1 to provide payouts for life with a guaranteed period of 15 years.

9.02 SELECTION OF PAYOUT OPTIONS
(a) If a single sum payment is elected, the amount to be paid is the Surrender Value in the Investment
Strategy.
(b) If a variable annuity payout option is elected, the amount to be applied is the Investment Strategy Account
Value, or Annuity Account Value, pursuant to Section 9.08, as of the Annuity Commencement Date.
(c) The minimum amount that may be withdrawn from the Investment Strategy Account Value to purchase an annuity payout option is $2,000. If the amount is less than $2,000, the Company may pay the amount in a single sum subject to the Partial Withdrawal provisions. Payouts may be elected to be received on any of the following frequency periods: monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually.
(d) Payouts to be made under the annuity payout option selected must be at least $50. The Company reserves the right to make the payouts using the most frequent payout interval which produces a payout of not less than $50.
(e) The maximum amount that may be applied under any annuity payout option is $1,000,000, unless prior approval is obtained from the Company.
(f) For information on electing periodic withdrawals, refer to the Periodic Withdrawal Option provision.
(g) Except for the provisions set forth in Section 9.08, only the Investment Strategy Account Value can be applied to an annuity payout option.

9.03 VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS
The following variable annuity payout options are available: (a)    Option 1: Variable Life Annuity with Guaranteed Period
Payouts for the guaranteed Annuity Payout Period elected or the lifetime of the Annuitant, whichever is longer. The guaranteed Annuity Payout Period elected may be 5, 10, or 15 years, or other options as made available by the Company. Upon death of the Annuitant, the Beneficiary will begin to receive the
remaining payouts at the same interval elected by the Owner. See Variable Life Annuity Tables.




(b)    Option 2: Variable Life Annuity
Payouts for the Annuitant's lifetime, without a guaranteed period. See Variable Life Annuity Tables.
(c)    Option 3: Any Other Form
Any other form of variable annuity payout option which is acceptable to the Company.

These variable annuity payout options are subject to the following provisions: (1)    Amount of First Payout
The first payout under a variable annuity payout option will be based on the value of each Sub-Account on the 1st Valuation Date preceding the Payout Election Date. It will be determined by applying the appropriate rate from the Variable Life Annuity Tables to the amount applied under the payout option.

The Variable Life Annuity Tables of this Contract illustrate the payout factors that will be used to determine the first monthly payout under a variable annuity payout option. These tables show the dollar amount of the first monthly payout that can be purchased with each $1,000 of Account Value. Amounts shown are based on the Annuity Mortality Table, modified, with an assumed rate of return per year as shown on the Contract Data Page. The Annuity Mortality Table and the assumed rate of return are shown on the Contract Data Page.

(2) Annuity Units
The number of Annuity Units credited to the Annuitant for each Sub-Account is determined by dividing the amount of the first payout by the Sub-Account's annuity unit value on the 1st Valuation Date preceding the Annuity Commencement Date. The number of Annuity Units used to calculate each payout for a Sub- Account remains fixed during the Annuity Payout Period.

(3) Amount of Payouts after the First
Payouts after the first will vary depending upon the investment experience of the Sub-Accounts in the Investment Strategy. The subsequent amount paid from each Sub-Account is determined by multiplying (a) by (b) where (a) is the number of Sub-Account Annuity Units credited and (b) is the Sub-Account Annuity Unit value on the 1st Valuation Date preceding the payment date. The total amount of each variable annuity payout will be the sum of the variable annuity payouts for each Sub-Account in the Investment Strategy.
To prevent variable annuity payouts from decreasing the annualized investment experience of the Sub- accounts must be greater or equal to the assumed interest rate shown on the Contract Date Page.

The Annuity Unit value for any Valuation Period for any Sub-Account is determined by multiplying the
Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period by the product of (A) and (B) where:
(A) is 1/1.025^(1/365) raised to a power equal to the number of days in the current Valuation
Period; and
(B) is the Accumulation Unit value of the same Sub-Account for this Valuation Period divided by the Accumulation Unit value of the same Sub-Account for the immediately preceding Valuation Period.

The Company guarantees that the dollar amount of each payout after the first will not be affected by variations in expenses or mortality experience.

(4)    Transfers After the Annuity Commencement Date
Once variable annuity payouts have begun, the Owner may Transfer all or part of the Investment Strategy Account Value from one Sub-Account of the Investment Strategy Account to another Sub-Account in the Investment Strategy Account. Transfers after the Annuity Commencement Date will be made by converting the number of Annuity Units being Transferred to the number of Annuity Units of the Sub- Account to which the Transfer is made. The result will be that the next annuity payout, if it were made at that time, would be the same amount that it would have been without the Transfer. Thereafter, annuity payouts will reflect changes in the value of the new Annuity Units. The Contract’s Transfer provisions will apply.





9.04 PERIODIC WITHDRAWAL OPTION
If a periodic withdrawal option is selected, the Owner must Request that all or part of the Investment Strategy
Account Value be applied to a periodic withdrawal option. While periodic withdrawals are being received:
1)    the Owner may keep the same Sub-Accounts as were in force before periodic withdrawals began;
2)    charges and fees under this Contract continue to apply; and
3)
the Owner may continue to exercise all contractual rights that are available prior to electing a payout option, except that no Contributions may be made.

9.05 HOW TO ELECT PERIODIC WITHDRAWALS
The Request of the Owner is required to elect, or change the election of, the Periodic Withdrawal Option. The
Owner must Request:
1)    the withdrawal frequency of either annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly intervals;
2)
a withdrawal amount; a minimum of $100 is required; the calendar month, day, and year on which withdrawals are to begin;
3)    one Periodic Withdrawal Option; and
4)    the allocation of withdrawals from the Sub-Account(s) as follows:
a. Prorate the amount to be paid across all Investment Strategy Sub-Accounts in proportion to the assets in each Sub-Account; or
b. Select the Investment Strategy Sub-Account(s) from which withdrawals will be made. Once the
Sub-Accounts(s) have been depleted, the Company will automatically prorate the remaining withdrawals against all remaining available Investment Strategy Sub-Accounts, unless the Owner Requests the selection of another Sub-Account.

9.06 PERIODIC WITHDRAWAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN INVESTMENT STRATEGY
If a periodic withdrawal option is requested, the Owner must elect one of these 3 withdrawal options:
1)
Income for a Specified Period for at least thirty-six (36) months - The Owner elects the duration over which withdrawals will be made. The amount paid will vary based on the duration; or
2)
Income of a Specified Amount for at least thirty-six (36) months - The Owner elects the dollar amount of the withdrawals. Based on the amount elected, the duration may vary; or
3)
Any Other Form for a period of at least thirty-six (36) months - Any other form of periodic withdrawal which is acceptable to the Company.

9.07 PERIODIC WITHDRAWALS
Periodic withdrawals will cease on the earlier of the date:

· The amount elected to be paid under the option selected has been reduced to zero.
· The Investment Strategy Account Value is zero.
· The Owner requests that withdrawals stop.
· The Owner purchases an annuity payout option.
· The Owner or the Annuitant dies.

We may limit the number of times you may restart a periodic withdrawal program.

Periodic withdrawals may be taxable, subject to withholding and to the 10% federal penalty tax if you are younger than age 59½.

9.08 ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
Annuity payouts will begin no later than the Annuitant’s 99th birthday if no Payout Election Date has been established. If Installments have begun under the Rider, only the Investment Strategy will be annuitized. If Installments have not begun under the Rider, then the entire Account Value will be annuitized at that time and any benefit under the Rider will terminate.
