Underlying Fund Expenses. The expenses shown above are the annual operating expenses for the JNL/S&P Funds. Because the JNL/S&P Funds invest in other Funds of the JNL Series Trust, the JNL/S&P Funds will indirectly bear its pro rata share of fees and expenses of the underlying Funds in addition to the expenses shown.

The total annual operating expenses for each JNL/S&P Fund (including both the annual operating expenses for the JNL/S&P Funds and the annual operating expenses for the underlying Funds) could range from 0.75 % to 1.35% (this range reflects an investment in the Funds with the lowest and highest Annual Operating Expenses). The table below shows estimated total annual operating expenses for each of the JNL/S&P Funds based on the pro rata share of expenses that the JNL/S&P Funds would bear if they invested in a hypothetical mix of underlying Funds. The administrator believes the expenses shown below to be a likely approximation of the expenses the JNL/S&P Funds will incur based on the actual mix of underlying Funds. The expenses shown below include both the annual operating expenses for the JNL/S&P Fund and the annual operating expenses for the underlying Funds. The actual expenses of each JNL/S&P Fund will be based on the actual mix of underlying Funds in which it invests. The actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

About the JNL/S&P Retirement Funds. The JNL/S&P Retirement Funds have retirement target dates. The investment strategies of these funds are designed to limit your risk of investment losses as of the date you expect to make withdrawals from your Contract. There is at least some degree of overlap between this fundamental goal and the protections provided under the Contract's basic death benefit and under certain optional features, specifically: (i) the Earnings Protection Benefit; (ii) the GMIB; and (iii) any GMWB.

 

Each of these four benefits provides a specific guarantee of minimum value regardless of investment performance on certain relevant dates: (i) the Owner's date of death in the case of death benefits and the Earnings Protection Benefit; and (ii) an Owner's specific age under the GMIB and a GMWB. To the extent the JNL/S&P Retirement Funds achieve their specific goals, the need for and the additional value of the protections received under these four benefits may be somewhat diminished.

 

The potential for overlap is greatest for the GMIB and GMWB because those benefits will come into effect at approximately the same date as the JNL/S&P Retirement Funds' applicable target retirement date. The potential for overlap generally is less for death benefits and the Earnings Protection Benefit because those benefits do not come into effect on a fixed or predetermined date and the likelihood the Owner's date of death will be the same as the date that is the target date for the JNL/S&P Retirement Funds is relatively small. Investment in a fund such as the JNL/S&P Retirement Income Fund, however, may not be consistent with the Earnings Protection Benefit to the extent that conservative investing may not accomplish the Earnings Protection Benefit goal of providing an additional payout to help offset potential tax liabilities if there are earnings in the Contract at the Owner’s death.

 

You, therefore, are encouraged to consider whether you want to participate in an optional benefit when you plan to invest in a JNL/S&P Retirement Fund. Among the considerations are the charges for the optional benefits and the value to you of having

overlapping goals and protections. In addition, there may be personal considerations affecting your decision that a knowledgeable adviser can assist you in weighing.

 

Also under INVESTMENT DIVISIONS, with the JNL Variable Fund LLC, please add the following information about the newly available fund:

 

JNL Variable Fund LLC

JNL/Mellon Capital Management DowSM Dividend Fund

Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (and Mellon Capital Management Corporation)

Seeks to provide the potential for an above-average total return by investing approximately equal amounts in the common stock of the 20 companies included in the Dow Jones Select Dividend IndexSM which have the best overall ranking on both the change in return on assets of the last fiscal year compared to the prior year and price-to-book on or about the business day before each "Stock Selection Date."

 

Under CONTRACT CHARGES, please replace the subsection entitled "Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Charge" in its entirety with the following.

 

Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Charge. The charge for the GMIB depends on the endorsement's availability and the frequency of deduction, as explained below.

 

For Contracts with the GMIB purchased on and after May 3, 2004 (subject to availability), you pay 0.15% of the GMIB Benefit Base each calendar quarter (0.60% annually).

 

For Contracts with the GMIB purchased before May 3, 2004, (subject to availability), you pay 0.10% of the GMIB Benefit Base each calendar quarter (0.40% annually).

 

For Contracts with the GMIB purchased IN WASHINGTON STATE on and after January 17, 2006 (subject to availability), you pay 0.05% of the GMIB Benefit Base each Contract Month (0.60% annually).

 

We deduct the charge from your Contract Value. Quarterly charges are pro rata deducted over each applicable Investment Division and the Fixed Account. Monthly charges are also pro rata, but based on the applicable Investment Divisions only. With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling Accumulation Units. The charge is not part of the calculation to determine the value of an Accumulation Unit. But again, while the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GMIB Benefit Base. For more information about the GMIB Benefit Base, please see "Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit" under the INCOME PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE) section of the prospectus. The charge is prorated, from the endorsement's effective date, at the end of the first quarter after selection, as applicable. Similarly, the charge is prorated upon termination of the endorsement. PLEASE NOTE: The charge for the GMIB will be deducted even if you never use the benefit. Also, the GMIB only applies to certain optional income payments.

 

Under CONTRACT CHARGES, please replace the subsection entitled "7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge" in its entirety with the following.

 

8 of 29

 

 

 

7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge. The charge for this GMWB is expressed as an annual percentage and depends on when the endorsement is added to the Contract. The charge also depends on the endorsement's availability, the basis for deduction, and the frequency of deduction, as explained below.

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006 (subject to availability), the current charge is:

 

Annual Percentage

Quarterly

Monthly

0.50% ÷ 4

0.51% ÷ 12

 

You pay the applicable annual percentage of the GWB each calendar quarter. But for Contracts purchased IN WASHINGTON STATE, the charge is monthly, which charge is waived at the end of a Contract Month to the extent it exceeds the amount of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions. We deduct the charge from your Contract Value. Quarterly charges are pro rata deducted over each applicable Investment Division and the Fixed Account. Monthly charges are also pro rata, but based on the applicable Investment Divisions only. With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling Accumulation Units. The charge is not part of the calculation to determine the value of an Accumulation Unit. But again, while the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GWB. For more information about the GWB, please see "7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit" under the ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY section of the prospectus.

Under CONTRACT CHARGES, please replace the subsection entitled "5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge" in its entirety with the following.

 

5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge. The charge for this GMWB is expressed as an annual percentage and depends on the Owner’s age when the endorsement is added to the Contract. The charge varies by age group. The charge also depends on the endorsement’s availability, and the basis for and frequency of its deduction, as explained below. With joint Owners, the charge is based on the older Owner’s age. For the Owner that is a legal entity, the charge is based on the Annuitant’s age. (With joint Annuitants, the charge is based on the older Annuitant's age.)

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006 (subject to availability), the current charges for each age group are:

You pay the applicable annual percentage of the GWB each calendar quarter. For Contracts purchased IN WASHINGTON STATE, the charge is monthly, which charge is waived at the end of a Contract Month to the extent it exceeds the amount of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions. We deduct the charge from your Contract Value. Quarterly charges are pro rata deducted over each applicable Investment Division and the Fixed Account. Monthly charges are also pro rata, but based on the applicable Investment Divisions only. With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling Accumulation Units. The charge is not part of the calculation to determine the value of an Accumulation Unit. But again, while the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GWB.

Under ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY, at the end of the subsection entitled "7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit," please add the following new paragraph.

 

For certain tax-qualified Contracts to which the 7% GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006 (subject to availability), withdrawals greater than GAWA are allowed to meet the Contract's minimum distribution requirements (MRDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (Code), and the endorsement's guarantees will not be compromised. Notice of an MRD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form. The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals. Eligible withdrawals that are specified as MRDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Code allows for the taking of MRDs for multiple contracts from a single contract. Under the Code, MRDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis. But with the 7% GMWB, GAWA is based on Contract Years. Only your MRDs for one calendar year are allowed per Contract Year. With the calendar year in which your MRDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70½), however, you may take your MRDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary. Please consult your tax adviser regarding MRDs before purchasing a tax-qualified Contract with the 7% GMWB, as well as before taking any withdrawals.

 

Under ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY, also with the subsection entitled "7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit," please replace the two paragraphs concerning step-up with the following.

 

Step-Up. In the event Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the 7% GMWB allows the GWB to be reset to Contract Value (a "Step-Up").

 

13 of 29

 

 

 

 

 

With a Step-Up

The GWB equals Contract Value.

The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      7% of the new GWB; Or

      The GAWA before the Step-Up.

 

The first opportunity for a Step-Up is the fifth Contract Anniversary after the 7% GMWB is added to the Contract.

 

For Contracts to which the 7% GMWB is added before January 17, 2006, Step-Ups are only allowed on or during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

Otherwise, a Step-Up is allowed at any time, and there must be at least five years between Step-Ups. The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up. A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.

 

Under ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY, please replace the subsection entitled "5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit" in its entirety with the following.

 

5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit. This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract's accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:

 

The Owner's life (the "For Life Guarantee");

 

The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners. For the Owner that is a legal entity, the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant's life (or the life of the first Annuitant to die if there is more than one Annuitant).

 

Or

 

Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.

 

The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.

 

*

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006, we offer a bonus on the GWB; you may be able to receive a credit to the GWB for a limited time (see box below for more information).

 

Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB. But PLEASE NOTE: The guarantees of this GMWB, including any bonus opportunity, are subject to the endorsement's terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.

 

 

14 of 29

 

 

 

Examples illustrating this GMWB, in limited circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus (in appendices).

 

This GMWB is available to Owners 60 to 80 years old; may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary; and once added cannot be canceled except by a Beneficiary who is the Owner's spouse, who, upon the Owner's death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB. At least 30 calendar days' prior notice is required for Good Order to add this GMWB to a Contract on a Contract Anniversary. This GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (only one GMWB per Contract) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant. Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed. Also, when the Owner is a legal entity, changing Annuitants is not allowed. Availability of this GMWB may be subject to further limitation.

 

There is a limit on withdrawals each Contract Year to keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect – the greater of the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA) and for certain tax-qualified Contracts, the minimum distribution requirements (MRDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Withdrawals exceeding the limit invalidate the For Life Guarantee, besides causing the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below).

 

Election. The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract, and the GAWA derives from the GWB.

 

 

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date

The GWB equals premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.

 

 

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary

The GWB equals Contract Value less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.

 

Contract Enhancements are not included in the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract. So the recapture charge reduces the GWB below Contract Value. The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

 

Withdrawals. Withdrawals may cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

 

 

15 of 29

 

 

 

 

 

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or

      Zero.

The GAWA:

      Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid; Otherwise

      Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.

 

The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable. You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year. Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year. The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect does not accumulate.

 

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below). In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value (less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement). The GAWA is also potentially impacted.

 

 

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:

      Contract Value after the withdrawal less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; Or

      The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.

The GAWA is recalculated because the For Life Guarantee is invalidated, equaling the lesser of:

      The GAWA before the withdrawal;

      The GWB after the withdrawal; Or

 

      5% of the Contract Value after the withdrawal less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you exceed the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, one time with your withdrawals, then the For Life Guarantee is void and cannot be made valid again. Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any charges and/or adjustments. Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

 

 

16 of 29

 

 

 

Withdrawals under this GMWB are considered the same as any other partial withdrawals for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements (for example, the Contract’s death benefit). All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, MRDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts, withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees, and free withdrawals under the Contract. They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract. They are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes. For more information about your non-qualified Contract, please see "Non-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments" under the TAXES section of the prospectus. For more information about your tax-qualified Contract, please see "Tax-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments" also under the TAXES section of the prospectus.

 

Premiums.

 

 

With each subsequent premium payment on the Contract

The GWB is recalculated, increasing by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

The GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:

      5% of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes; Or

      5% of the increase in the GWB – if the maximum GWB is hit.

 

We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate. We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments. The GWB can never be more than $5 million.

 

Step-Up. In the event Contract Value is greater than the GWB, this GMWB allows the GWB to be reset to the Contract Value (a "Step-Up").

 

 

With a Step-Up

The GWB equals Contract Value.

The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      5% of the new GWB; Or

      The GAWA before the Step-Up.

 

The first opportunity for a Step-Up is the fifth Contract Anniversary after this GMWB is added to the Contract.

 

On and after January 17, 2006, during the first ten Contract Years after this GMWB is added to the Contract, Step-Ups are only allowed on or during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added before January 17, 2006, Step-Ups are only allowed during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

 

17 of 29

 

 

 

Otherwise, a Step-Up is allowed at any time, but there must be at least five years between Step-Ups. The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up. A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.

 

MRDs. For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract's minimum distribution requirements (MRDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) – without compromising the endorsement's guarantees. Notice of an MRD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form. The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals. Eligible withdrawals that are specified as MRDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Code allows for the taking of MRDs for multiple contracts from a single contract. Under the Code, MRDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis. But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years. Only your MRDs for one calendar year are allowed per Contract Year. With the calendar year in which your MRDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70½), however, you may take your MRDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary. Because the intervals for the GAWA and MRDs are different, the For Life Guarantee is more susceptible to being invalidated with tax-qualified Contracts if the sum of your total partial withdrawals exceed the greater of the GAWA or MRD in a Contract Year, especially in the first Contract Year of MRDs. So please consult your tax adviser regarding MRDs before purchasing a tax-qualified Contract with this GMWB, as well as before taking any withdrawals.

 

Owner’s Death. The Contract’s death benefit is not affected by this GMWB so long as Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase. Upon your death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), this GMWB terminates without value.

 

Contract Value Is Zero. With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid. Otherwise, the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted). Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.

 

 

After each payment when the Contract Value is zero

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      The GWB before the payment less the payment; Or

      Zero.

The GAWA:

      Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid; Otherwise

      Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, and the GWB after, the payment.

 

If you die before all scheduled payments are made, then your Beneficiary will receive the remainder. All other rights under your Contract cease, except for the right to change Beneficiaries. No subsequent premium payments will be accepted. All optional endorsements terminate without value. And no other death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.

 

18 of 29

 

 

 

Spousal Continuation. In the event of the Owner’s death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse may elect to:

 

Continue the Contract with this GMWB – so long as Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.

 

Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.

 

Only the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted).

The Beneficiary is also allowed a Step-Up. The Step-Up may only be elected on the first Contract Anniversary on or after the Continuation Date, which is the date the Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order. Otherwise, the above rules for Step-Ups apply.

Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

 

Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).

 

Add this GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the Beneficiary's eligibility – whether or not the Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.

 

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see "Special Spousal Continuation Option" under the DEATH BENEFIT section of the prospectus.

 

Termination. This GMWB terminates and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

 

The Income Date;

The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);

The date of the Owner’s death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB; or

The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract Value is zero.

 

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral. This GMWB may not be appropriate for Owners who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract. Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

 

19 of 29

 

 

 

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006, a bonus is available.

The bonus equals 5% and is based on a sum that may be subject to change after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the "Bonus Base").

      When this GMWB is added to the Contract, the Bonus Base equals the GWB.

      With a withdrawal, if that withdrawal, and all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA and the MRD, as applicable, then the Bonus Base is set to the lesser of the GWB after, and the Bonus Base before, the withdrawal. Otherwise, there is no adjustment to the Bonus Base with withdrawals.

      All withdrawals count, including: systematic withdrawals; MRDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.

      With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

      With any Step-Up, the Bonus Base is set to the greater of the GWB after, and the Bonus Base before, the Step-Up.

The Bonus Base can never be more than $5 million.

The Bonus is available for a limited time (the "Bonus Period"). The Bonus Period runs from the date this GMWB is added to the Contract through the earliest of:

      The tenth Contract Anniversary after the effective date of the endorsement;

      The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner's 81st birthday; or

      The date Contract Value is zero.

Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

The bonus is applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year. When the bonus is applied:

      The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 5% of the Bonus Base.

      The GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of 5% of the new GWB and the GAWA before the bonus.

Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base.

Examples below illustrate the bonus in limited circumstances and with specific factual assumptions.

 

 

Examples

5% For Life GMWB

 

These examples are provided to assist you in understanding the 5% For Life GMWB on Contracts to which this endorsement is added on and after January 17, 2006. The examples depict limited circumstances and specific factual assumptions with the bonus opportunity. The results may vary depending upon the timing or sequence of actions, as well as changes in market conditions. If you are contemplating electing this GMWB, or exercising any rights under the endorsement, in making your decision, please consider the results based on the specific facts that apply to you.

 

Example 1: Step-up vs. Bonus

 

On a policy with the 5% For Life GMWB, after the deduction of all charges, but before the application of any bonus or step-up in Contract Year 5, the Contract Value is $83,500, the GWB is equal to $80,000, the Bonus Base is $100,000, and the GAWA is $5,000. At that time, the Owner elects a step-up. Since the Owner did not take a withdrawal in Contract Year 5, she is eligible for a bonus. The amount of her bonus would be $5,000 (which is 5% of the Bonus Base). The GWB after the application of a bonus is $85,000, which is higher than the GWB would be after step-up ($83,500), so the step-up does not occur and the election of the step-up does not count against the Owner, making the next available step-up on the 6th Contract Anniversary. Note that the GAWA and the Bonus Base remain unchanged.

 

Example 2: GWB increasing, GAWA unchanged

 

On a policy with the 5% For Life GMWB, after the deduction of all charges, but before the application of any bonus or step-up in Contract Year 6, the Contract Value reaches $90,000, the GWB is equal to $80,000, the Bonus Base is $100,000, and the GAWA equals $5,000. At that time, the Owner is eligible for a step-up and elects that feature. At the end of Contract Year 6, the Contract Value is $90,000, the GWB is also $90,000, the GAWA remains $5,000, and the Bonus Base remains at $100,000 (since the Bonus Base cannot decrease upon step-up).

 

Example 3: 10th Contract Anniversary

 

On 1/1/2000, the 5% For Life GMWB becomes effective on two separate policies. The Owner of policy 1 is age 65 at the time of election. The bonus period for this policy extends to the 10th Contract Anniversary, which is 1/1/2010. Beginning on that date, no more bonuses will be available. The Owner of policy 2 is age 75 at the time of election. In this case, since the Owner attains age 81 prior to the 10th Contract Anniversary, the bonus period extends to the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s 81st birthday, which is 1/1/2006. Beginning on that date, the Owner of policy 2 will no longer be eligible to receive any bonuses.

 

Example 4: Withdrawal exceeding the greater of the GAWA or the MRD

 

On a policy with the 5% For Life GMWB, prior to any withdrawals for a given Contract Year, the Contract Value is $105,000, the GWB is $100,000, the GAWA is $5,000, the MRD is $7,500, and the Bonus Base is $100,000. The Owner withdraws $10,000. Immediately following the withdrawal, the Contract Value equals $95,000 and the GWB, the GAWA, and the Bonus Base are reset. The new GWB is equal to $90,000, which is the minimum of the Contract Value after the withdrawal ($95,000) or the GWB less the withdrawal ($90,000). The GAWA is reset to $4,500, which is the minimum of the previous GAWA ($5,000) or 5% of the new GWB ($4,500). The Bonus Base is then equal to $90,000, which is the minimum of the previous Bonus Base ($100,000) and the new GWB ($90,000).

Example 5: Withdrawal in Contract Year 1; Bonus in Contract Year 2

 

On a policy with the 5% For Life GMWB, the Owner withdraws the GAWA ($5,000) in Contract Year 1. At the end of Contract Year 1, the GWB is equal to $95,000, the GAWA remains $5,000, and the Bonus Base remains unchanged at $100,000. In Contract Year 2, the Owner does not take any withdrawals. After the deduction of all charges, but before the application of any bonus, the Contract Value is $98,000, the GWB is still $95,000, the GAWA is $5,000, and the Bonus Base is $100,000. At that time, the Owner is eligible for a bonus, since no withdrawals were taken during that Contract Year. The GWB then increases to $100,000, which is the old GWB ($95,000) plus 5% of the Bonus Base ($5,000). The GAWA remains at $5,000, which is the maximum of the old GAWA ($5,000) and 5% of the new GWB ($5,000). The Bonus Base also remains unchanged at $100,000.

 

Also under ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY, please replace the subsection entitled "4% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit" in its entirety with the following.

 

4% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit. This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract's accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:

 

The Owner's life (the "For Life Guarantee");

 

The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners. For the Owner that is a legal entity, the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant's life (or the life of the first Annuitant to die if there is more than one Annuitant).

 

Or

 

Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.

 

The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.

 

*

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006, we offer a bonus on the GWB; you may be able to receive a credit to the GWB for a limited time (see box below for more information).

 

Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB. But PLEASE NOTE: The guarantees of this GMWB, including any bonus opportunity, are subject to the endorsement's terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.

 

Examples illustrating this GMWB, in limited circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus (in appendices).

 

This GMWB is available to Owners 50 to 80 years old; may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary; and once added cannot be canceled except by a Beneficiary who is the Owner's spouse, who, upon the Owner's death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB. At least 30 calendar days' prior notice is required for Good Order to add this GMWB to a Contract on a Contract Anniversary.

 

22 of 29

 

 

This GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (only one GMWB per Contract) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant. Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed. Also, when the Owner is a legal entity, changing Annuitants is not allowed. Availability of this GMWB may be subject to further limitation.

 

There is a limit on withdrawals each Contract Year to keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect, which is called the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA). Withdrawals exceeding the limit invalidate the For Life Guarantee, besides causing the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below).

 

Election. The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract, and the GAWA derives from the GWB.

 

 

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date

The GWB equals premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

The GAWA equals 4% of the GWB.

 

 

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary

The GWB equals Contract Value less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

The GAWA equals 4% of the GWB.

 

Contract Enhancements are not included in the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract. So the recapture charge reduces the GWB below Contract Value. The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

 

Withdrawals. Withdrawals may cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

 

 

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA –

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or

      Zero.

The GAWA:

      Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid; Otherwise

      Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.

 

The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the GAWA. You may withdraw the GAWA all at once or throughout the Contract Year. Withdrawing less than the GAWA in a Contract Year does not entitle you

 

23 of 29

 

 

to withdraw more than the GAWA in the next Contract Year. The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect does not accumulate.

 

Withdrawing more than the GAWA in a Contract Year causes the GWB and the GAWA to be recalculated (see below). In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to Contract Value (less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement). The GAWA is also potentially impacted.

 

 

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the GAWA

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:

      Contract Value after the withdrawal less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; Or

      The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.

The GAWA is recalculated because the For Life Guarantee is invalidated, equaling the lesser of:

      The GAWA before the withdrawal;

      The GWB after the withdrawal; Or

 

      4% of the Contract Value after the withdrawal less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you exceed the GAWA one time with your withdrawals, then the For Life Guarantee is void and cannot be made valid again. Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any charges and/or adjustments. Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

 

Withdrawals under this GMWB are considered the same as any other partial withdrawals for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements (for example, the Contract’s death benefit). All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, MRDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts, withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees, and free withdrawals under the Contract. They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract. They are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes. For more information about your non-qualified Contract, please see "Non-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments" under the TAXES section of the prospectus. For more information about your tax-qualified Contract, please see "Tax-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments" also under the TAXES section of the prospectus.

 

 

24 of 29

 

 

 

Premiums.

 

 

With each subsequent premium payment on the Contract

The GWB is recalculated, increasing by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

The GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:

      4% of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes; Or

      4% of the increase in the GWB – if the maximum GWB is hit.

 

We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate. We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments. The GWB can never be more than $5 million.

 

Step-Up. In the event Contract Value is greater than the GWB, this GMWB allows the GWB to be reset to the Contract Value (a "Step-Up").

 

 

With a Step-Up

The GWB equals Contract Value.

The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      4% of the new GWB; Or

      The GAWA before the Step-Up.

 

The first opportunity for a Step-Up is the fifth Contract Anniversary after this GMWB is added to the Contract.

 

On and after January 17, 2006, during the first ten Contract Years after this GMWB is added to the Contract, Step-Ups are only allowed on or during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added before January 17, 2006, Step-Ups are only allowed during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

Otherwise, a Step-Up is allowed at any time, but there must be at least five years between Step-Ups. The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up. A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.

 

Owner’s Death. The Contract’s death benefit is not affected by this GMWB so long as Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase. Upon your death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), this GMWB terminates without value.

 

Contract Value Is Zero. With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid. Otherwise, the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted). Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.

 

 

25 of 29

 

 

 

 

 

After each payment when the Contract Value is zero

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      The GWB before the payment less the payment; Or

      Zero.

The GAWA:

      Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid; Otherwise

      Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, and the GWB after, the payment.

 

If you die before all scheduled payments are made, then your Beneficiary will receive the remainder. All other rights under your Contract cease, except for the right to change Beneficiaries. No subsequent premium payments will be accepted. All optional endorsements terminate without value. And no other death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.

 

Spousal Continuation. In the event of the Owner’s death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse may elect to:

 

Continue the Contract with this GMWB – so long as Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.

 

Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.

 

Only the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted).

The Beneficiary is also allowed a Step-Up. The Step-Up may only be elected on the first Contract Anniversary on or after the Continuation Date, which is the date the Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order. Otherwise, the above rules for Step-Ups apply.

Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

 

Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).

 

Add this GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the Beneficiary's eligibility – whether or not the Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.

 

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see "Special Spousal Continuation Option" under the DEATH BENEFIT section of the prospectus.

 

Termination. This GMWB terminates and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

 

The Income Date;

The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);

 

 

26 of 29

 

 

 

The date of the Owner’s death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB; or

The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract Value is zero.

 

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral. This GMWB may not be appropriate for Owners who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract. Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006, a bonus is available.

The bonus equals 5% and is based on a sum that may be subject to change after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the "Bonus Base").

      When this GMWB is added to the Contract, the Bonus Base equals the GWB.

      With a withdrawal, if that withdrawal, and all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the GAWA, then the Bonus Base is set to the lesser of the GWB after, and the Bonus Base before, the withdrawal. Otherwise, there is no adjustment to the Bonus Base with withdrawals.

      All withdrawals count, including: systematic withdrawals; MRDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.

      With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

      With any Step-Up, the Bonus Base is set to the greater of the GWB after, and the Bonus Base before, the Step-Up.

The Bonus Base can never be more than $5 million.

The Bonus is available for a limited time (the "Bonus Period"). The Bonus Period runs from the date this GMWB is added to the Contract through the earliest of:

      The tenth Contract Anniversary after the effective date of the endorsement;

      The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner's 81st birthday; or

      The date Contract Value is zero.

Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

 

 

27 of 29

 

 

 

 

The bonus is applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year. When the bonus is applied:

      The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 5% of the Bonus Base.

      The GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of 4% of the new GWB and the GAWA before the bonus.

Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base.

There are examples illustrating the bonus, in limited circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, with the 5% for Life GMWB. These examples are at the end of the section about how that endorsement works (see above).

Under CONTRACT CHARGES, please replace the subsection entitled "7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge" in its entirety with the following.

 

7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge. The charge for this GMWB is expressed as an annual percentage and depends on when the endorsement is added to the Contract. The charge also depends on the endorsement's availability, the basis for deduction, and the frequency of deduction, as explained below.

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006 (subject to availability), the current annual charge is 0.50% of the GWB payable each calendar quarter. We deduct the charge from your Contract Value pro rata over each applicable Investment Division and the Fixed Account. With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling Accumulation Units. The charge is not part of the calculation to determine the value of an Accumulation Unit. But again, while the charge is deducted from Contract Value, it is based on the applicable percentage of the GWB. For more information about the GWB, please see "7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit" under the ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY section of the prospectus. The charge is prorated, from the endorsement's effective date, at the end of the first quarter after selection. Similarly, the charge is prorated upon termination of the endorsement.

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added before January 17, 2006, you pay 0.40% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions.

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added before October 4, 2004, you pay 0.35% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions, which increases to 0.55% upon the first step-up.

 

We reserve the right to prospectively change the charge on new Contracts, or if you select the benefit after your Contract is issued, subject to the applicable maximum annual charge (see below). For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006, we may also change the charge with a step-up, again subject to the applicable maximum annual charge.

Under ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY, at the end of the subsection entitled "7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit," please add the following new paragraph.

 

For certain tax-qualified Contracts to which the 7% GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006 (subject to availability), withdrawals greater than GAWA are allowed to meet the Contract's minimum distribution requirements (MRDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (Code), and the endorsement's guarantees will not be compromised. Notice of an MRD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form. The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals. Eligible withdrawals that are specified as MRDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Code allows for the taking of MRDs for multiple contracts from a single contract. Under the Code, MRDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis. But with the 7% GMWB, GAWA is based on Contract Years. Only your MRDs for one calendar year are allowed per Contract Year. With the calendar year in which your MRDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70½), however, you may take your MRDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary. Please consult your tax adviser regarding MRDs before purchasing a tax-qualified Contract with the 7% GMWB, as well as before taking any withdrawals.

 

Under ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY, also with the subsection entitled "7% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit," please replace the two paragraphs concerning step-up with the following.

 

Step-Up. In the event Contract Value is greater than the GWB, the 7% GMWB allows the GWB to be reset to Contract Value (a "Step-Up").

 

 

With a Step-Up

The GWB equals Contract Value.

The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      7% of the new GWB; Or

      The GAWA before the Step-Up.

 

The first opportunity for a Step-Up is the fifth Contract Anniversary after the 7% GMWB is added to the Contract.

 

9 of 25

 

 

 

 

For Contracts to which the 7% GMWB is added before January 17, 2006, Step-Ups are only allowed on or during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

Otherwise, a Step-Up is allowed at any time, and there must be at least five years between Step-Ups. The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up. A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.

 

Under ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY, please replace the subsection entitled "5% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit" in its entirety with the following.

 

5% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit. This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract's accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:

 

The Owner's life (the "For Life Guarantee");

 

The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners. For the Owner that is a legal entity, the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant's life (or the life of the first Annuitant to die if there is more than one Annuitant).

 

Or

 

Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.

 

The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.

 

*

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006, we offer a bonus on the GWB; you may be able to receive a credit to the GWB for a limited time (see box below for more information).

 

Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB. But PLEASE NOTE: The guarantees of this GMWB, including any bonus opportunity, are subject to the endorsement's terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.

 

Examples illustrating this GMWB, in limited circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus (in appendices).

 

This GMWB is available to Owners 60 to 80 years old; may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary; and once added cannot be canceled except by a Beneficiary who is the Owner's spouse, who, upon the Owner's death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB. At least 30 calendar days' prior notice is required for Good Order to add this GMWB to a Contract on a Contract Anniversary. This GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (only one GMWB per Contract) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We

 

10 of 25

 

 

allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant. Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed. Also, when the Owner is a legal entity, changing Annuitants is not allowed. Availability of this GMWB may be subject to further limitation.

 

There is a limit on withdrawals each Contract Year to keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect – the greater of the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA) and for certain tax-qualified Contracts, the minimum distribution requirements (MRDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Withdrawals exceeding the limit invalidate the For Life Guarantee, besides causing the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below).

 

Election. The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract, and the GAWA derives from the GWB.

 

 

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date

The GWB equals premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.

 

 

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary

The GWB equals Contract Value less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

The GAWA equals 5% of the GWB.

 

Contract Enhancements are not included in the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract. So the recapture charge reduces the GWB below Contract Value. The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

 

Withdrawals. Withdrawals may cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

 

 

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or

      Zero.

The GAWA:

      Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid; Otherwise

      Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.

 

The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable. You may withdraw the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, all at once or throughout the Contract Year. Withdrawing less than the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, in a

 

11 of 25

 

 

Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, in the next Contract Year. The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect does not accumulate.

 

Withdrawing more than the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, in a Contract Year causes the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below). In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to the Contract Value (less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement). The GAWA is also potentially impacted.

 

 

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:

      Contract Value after the withdrawal less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; Or

      The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.

The GAWA is recalculated because the For Life Guarantee is invalidated, equaling the lesser of:

      The GAWA before the withdrawal;

      The GWB after the withdrawal; Or

 

      5% of the Contract Value after the withdrawal less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you exceed the greater of the GAWA and MRD, as applicable, one time with your withdrawals, then the For Life Guarantee is void and cannot be made valid again. Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any charges and/or adjustments. Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

 

Withdrawals under this GMWB are considered the same as any other partial withdrawals for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements (for example, the Contract’s death benefit). All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, MRDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts, withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees, and free withdrawals under the Contract. They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract. They are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes. For more information about your non-qualified Contract, please see "Non-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments" under the TAXES section of the prospectus. For more information about your tax-qualified Contract, please see "Tax-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments" also under the TAXES section of the prospectus.

 

 

12 of 25

 

 

 

Premiums.

 

 

With each subsequent premium payment on the Contract

The GWB is recalculated, increasing by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

The GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:

      5% of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes; Or

      5% of the increase in the GWB – if the maximum GWB is hit.

 

We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate. We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments. The GWB can never be more than $5 million.

 

Step-Up. In the event Contract Value is greater than the GWB, this GMWB allows the GWB to be reset to the Contract Value (a "Step-Up").

 

 

With a Step-Up

The GWB equals Contract Value.

The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      5% of the new GWB; Or

      The GAWA before the Step-Up.

 

The first opportunity for a Step-Up is the fifth Contract Anniversary after this GMWB is added to the Contract.

 

On and after January 17, 2006, during the first ten Contract Years after this GMWB is added to the Contract, Step-Ups are only allowed on or during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added before January 17, 2006, Step-Ups are only allowed during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

Otherwise, a Step-Up is allowed at any time, but there must be at least five years between Step-Ups. The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up. A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.

 

MRDs. For certain tax-qualified Contracts, this GMWB allows withdrawals greater than GAWA to meet the Contract's minimum distribution requirements (MRDs) under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) – without compromising the endorsement's guarantees. Notice of an MRD is required at the time of your withdrawal request, and there is an administrative form. The administrative form allows for one time or systematic withdrawals. Eligible withdrawals that are specified as MRDs may only be taken based on the value of the Contract to which the endorsement applies, even where the Code allows for the taking of MRDs for multiple contracts from a single contract. Under the Code, MRDs are calculated and taken on a calendar year basis. But with this GMWB, the GAWA is based on Contract Years. Only your MRDs for one calendar year are

 

13 of 25

 

 

allowed per Contract Year. With the calendar year in which your MRDs are to begin (generally, when you reach age 70½), however, you may take your MRDs for the current and next calendar years during the same Contract Year, as necessary. Because the intervals for the GAWA and MRDs are different, the For Life Guarantee is more susceptible to being invalidated with tax-qualified Contracts if the sum of your total partial withdrawals exceed the greater of the GAWA or MRD in a Contract Year, especially in the first Contract Year of MRDs. So please consult your tax adviser regarding MRDs before purchasing a tax-qualified Contract with this GMWB, as well as before taking any withdrawals.

 

Owner’s Death. The Contract’s death benefit is not affected by this GMWB so long as Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase. Upon your death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), this GMWB terminates without value.

 

Contract Value Is Zero. With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid. Otherwise, the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted). Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.

 

 

After each payment when the Contract Value is zero

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      The GWB before the payment less the payment; Or

      Zero.

The GAWA:

      Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid; Otherwise

      Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, and the GWB after, the payment.

 

If you die before all scheduled payments are made, then your Beneficiary will receive the remainder. All other rights under your Contract cease, except for the right to change Beneficiaries. No subsequent premium payments will be accepted. All optional endorsements terminate without value. And no other death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.

 

Spousal Continuation. In the event of the Owner’s death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse may elect to:

 

Continue the Contract with this GMWB – so long as Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.

 

Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.

 

Only the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted).

The Beneficiary is also allowed a Step-Up. The Step-Up may only be elected on the first Contract Anniversary on or after the Continuation Date, which is the date the Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order. Otherwise, the above rules for Step-Ups apply.

 

 

14 of 25

 

 

 

Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

 

Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).

 

Add this GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the Beneficiary's eligibility – whether or not the Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.

 

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see "Special Spousal Continuation Option" under the DEATH BENEFIT section of the prospectus.

 

Termination. This GMWB terminates and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

 

The Income Date;

The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);

The date of the Owner’s death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB; or

The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract Value is zero.

 

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral. This GMWB may not be appropriate for Owners who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract. Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006, a bonus is available.

The bonus equals 5% and is based on a sum that may be subject to change after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the "Bonus Base").

      When this GMWB is added to the Contract, the Bonus Base equals the GWB.

      With a withdrawal, if that withdrawal, and all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the greater of the GAWA and the MRD, as applicable, then the Bonus Base is set to the lesser of the GWB after, and the Bonus Base before, the withdrawal. Otherwise, there is no adjustment to the Bonus Base with withdrawals.

*       All withdrawals count, including: systematic withdrawals; MRDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.

      With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

 

 

15 of 25

 

 

 

 

      With any Step-Up, the Bonus Base is set to the greater of the GWB after, and the Bonus Base before, the Step-Up.

The Bonus Base can never be more than $5 million.

The Bonus is available for a limited time (the "Bonus Period"). The Bonus Period runs from the date this GMWB is added to the Contract through the earliest of:

      The tenth Contract Anniversary after the effective date of the endorsement;

      The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner's 81st birthday; or

      The date Contract Value is zero.

Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

The bonus is applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year. When the bonus is applied:

      The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 5% of the Bonus Base.

      The GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of 5% of the new GWB and the GAWA before the bonus.

Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base.

*       Examples below illustrate the bonus in limited circumstances and with specific factual assumptions.

 

 

Examples

5% For Life GMWB

 

These examples are provided to assist you in understanding the 5% For Life GMWB on Contracts to which this endorsement is added on and after January 17, 2006. The examples depict limited circumstances and specific factual assumptions with the bonus opportunity. The results may vary depending upon the timing or sequence of actions, as well as changes in market conditions. If you are contemplating electing this GMWB, or exercising any rights under the endorsement, in making your decision, please consider the results based on the specific facts that apply to you.

 

Example 1: Step-up vs. Bonus

 

On a policy with the 5% For Life GMWB, after the deduction of all charges, but before the application of any bonus or step-up in Contract Year 5, the Contract Value is $83,500, the GWB is equal to $80,000, the Bonus Base is $100,000, and the GAWA is $5,000. At that time, the Owner elects a step-up. Since the Owner did not take a withdrawal in Contract Year 5, she is eligible for a bonus. The amount of her bonus would be $5,000 (which is 5% of the Bonus Base). The GWB after the application of a bonus is $85,000, which is higher than the GWB would be after step-up ($83,500), so the step-up does not occur and the election of the step-up does not count against the Owner, making the next available step-up on the 6th Contract Anniversary. Note that the GAWA and the Bonus Base remain unchanged.

Example 2: GWB increasing, GAWA unchanged

 

On a policy with the 5% For Life GMWB, after the deduction of all charges, but before the application of any bonus or step-up in Contract Year 6, the Contract Value reaches $90,000, the GWB is equal to $80,000, the Bonus Base is $100,000, and the GAWA equals $5,000. At that time, the Owner is eligible for a step-up and elects that feature. At the end of Contract Year 6, the Contract Value is $90,000, the GWB is also $90,000, the GAWA remains $5,000, and the Bonus Base remains at $100,000 (since the Bonus Base cannot decrease upon step-up).

 

Example 3: 10th Contract Anniversary

 

On 1/1/2000, the 5% For Life GMWB becomes effective on two separate policies. The Owner of policy 1 is age 65 at the time of election. The bonus period for this policy extends to the 10th Contract Anniversary, which is 1/1/2010. Beginning on that date, no more bonuses will be available. The Owner of policy 2 is age 75 at the time of election. In this case, since the Owner attains age 81 prior to the 10th Contract Anniversary, the bonus period extends to the Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner’s 81st birthday, which is 1/1/2006. Beginning on that date, the Owner of policy 2 will no longer be eligible to receive any bonuses.

 

Example 4: Withdrawal exceeding the greater of the GAWA or the MRD

 

On a policy with the 5% For Life GMWB, prior to any withdrawals for a given Contract Year, the Contract Value is $105,000, the GWB is $100,000, the GAWA is $5,000, the MRD is $7,500, and the Bonus Base is $100,000. The Owner withdraws $10,000. Immediately following the withdrawal, the Contract Value equals $95,000 and the GWB, the GAWA, and the Bonus Base are reset. The new GWB is equal to $90,000, which is the minimum of the Contract Value after the withdrawal ($95,000) or the GWB less the withdrawal ($90,000). The GAWA is reset to $4,500, which is the minimum of the previous GAWA ($5,000) or 5% of the new GWB ($4,500). The Bonus Base is then equal to $90,000, which is the minimum of the previous Bonus Base ($100,000) and the new GWB ($90,000).

 

Example 5: Withdrawal in Contract Year 1; Bonus in Contract Year 2

 

On a policy with the 5% For Life GMWB, the Owner withdraws the GAWA ($5,000) in Contract Year 1. At the end of Contract Year 1, the GWB is equal to $95,000, the GAWA remains $5,000, and the Bonus Base remains unchanged at $100,000. In Contract Year 2, the Owner does not take any withdrawals. After the deduction of all charges, but before the application of any bonus, the Contract Value is $98,000, the GWB is still $95,000, the GAWA is $5,000, and the Bonus Base is $100,000. At that time, the Owner is eligible for a bonus, since no withdrawals were taken during that Contract Year. The GWB then increases to $100,000, which is the old GWB ($95,000) plus 5% of the Bonus Base ($5,000). The GAWA remains at $5,000, which is the maximum of the old GAWA ($5,000) and 5% of the new GWB ($5,000). The Bonus Base also remains unchanged at $100,000.

 

Also under ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY, please replace the subsection entitled "4% Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit" in its entirety with the following.

 

4% For Life Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit. This GMWB guarantees partial withdrawals during the Contract's accumulation phase (i.e., before the Income Date) for the longer of:

 

17 of 25

 

 

 

 

The Owner's life (the "For Life Guarantee");

 

The For Life Guarantee is based on the life of the first Owner to die with joint Owners. For the Owner that is a legal entity, the For Life Guarantee is based on the Annuitant's life (or the life of the first Annuitant to die if there is more than one Annuitant).

 

Or

 

Until all withdrawals under the Contract equal the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), without regard to Contract Value.

 

The GWB is the guaranteed amount available for future periodic withdrawals.

 

*

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006, we offer a bonus on the GWB; you may be able to receive a credit to the GWB for a limited time (see box below for more information).

 

Because of the For Life Guarantee, your withdrawals could amount to more than the GWB. But PLEASE NOTE: The guarantees of this GMWB, including any bonus opportunity, are subject to the endorsement's terms, conditions, and limitations that are explained below.

 

Examples illustrating this GMWB, in limited circumstances and with specific factual assumptions, are at the end of the prospectus (in appendices).

 

This GMWB is available to Owners 50 to 80 years old; may be added to a Contract on the Issue Date or any Contract Anniversary; and once added cannot be canceled except by a Beneficiary who is the Owner's spouse, who, upon the Owner's death, may elect to continue the Contract without the GMWB. At least 30 calendar days' prior notice is required for Good Order to add this GMWB to a Contract on a Contract Anniversary. This GMWB is not available on a Contract that already has a GMWB (only one GMWB per Contract) or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). We allow ownership changes of a Contract with this GMWB when the Owner is a legal entity – to another legal entity or the Annuitant. Otherwise, ownership changes are not allowed. Also, when the Owner is a legal entity, changing Annuitants is not allowed. Availability of this GMWB may be subject to further limitation.

 

There is a limit on withdrawals each Contract Year to keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect, which is called the Guaranteed Annual Withdrawal Amount (GAWA). Withdrawals exceeding the limit invalidate the For Life Guarantee, besides causing the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated (see below).

 

Election. The GWB depends on when this GMWB is added to the Contract, and the GAWA derives from the GWB.

 

 

18 of 25

 

 

 

 

 

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on the Issue Date

The GWB equals premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

The GAWA equals 4% of the GWB.

 

 

When this GMWB is added to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary

The GWB equals Contract Value less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

The GAWA equals 4% of the GWB.

 

Contract Enhancements are not included in the GWB when this GMWB is added to the Contract. So the recapture charge reduces the GWB below Contract Value. The GWB can never be more than $5 million (including upon Step-up), and the GWB is reduced by each withdrawal.

 

Withdrawals. Withdrawals may cause the GWB and GAWA to be recalculated.

 

 

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, is less than or equal to the GAWA

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      The GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal; Or

      Zero.

The GAWA:

      Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid; Otherwise

      Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before the withdrawal, or the GWB after the withdrawal.

 

The GAWA is not reduced if all withdrawals during any one Contract Year do not exceed the GAWA. You may withdraw the GAWA all at once or throughout the Contract Year. Withdrawing less than the GAWA in a Contract Year does not entitle you to withdraw more than the GAWA in the next Contract Year. The amount you may withdraw each Contract Year and keep the guarantees of this GMWB in full effect does not accumulate.

 

Withdrawing more than the GAWA in a Contract Year causes the GWB and the GAWA to be recalculated (see below). In recalculating the GWB, the GWB could be reduced by more than the withdrawal amount – even set equal to Contract Value (less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement). The GAWA is also potentially impacted.

 

19 of 25

 

 

 

 

 

When a withdrawal, plus all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the GAWA

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the lesser of:

      Contract Value after the withdrawal less any recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement; Or

      The greater of the GWB before the withdrawal less the withdrawal, or zero.

The GAWA is recalculated because the For Life Guarantee is invalidated, equaling the lesser of:

      The GAWA before the withdrawal;

      The GWB after the withdrawal; Or

 

      4% of the Contract Value after the withdrawal less the recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you exceed the GAWA one time with your withdrawals, then the For Life Guarantee is void and cannot be made valid again. Withdrawals under this GMWB are assumed to be the total amount withdrawn, including any charges and/or adjustments. Withdrawals in excess of free withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge. Any withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to a Fixed Account option may be subject to an Excess Interest Adjustment. Withdrawals may be subject to a recapture charge on any Contract Enhancement.

 

Withdrawals under this GMWB are considered the same as any other partial withdrawals for the purposes of calculating any other values under the Contract and any other endorsements (for example, the Contract’s death benefit). All withdrawals count toward the total amount withdrawn in a Contract Year, including systematic withdrawals, MRDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts, withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees, and free withdrawals under the Contract. They are subject to the same restrictions and processing rules as described in the Contract. They are also treated the same for federal income tax purposes. For more information about your non-qualified Contract, please see "Non-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments" under the TAXES section of the prospectus. For more information about your tax-qualified Contract, please see "Tax-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments" also under the TAXES section of the prospectus.

 

Premiums.

 

 

With each subsequent premium payment on the Contract

The GWB is recalculated, increasing by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

The GAWA is also recalculated, increasing by:

      4% of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes; Or

      4% of the increase in the GWB – if the maximum GWB is hit.

 

 

20 of 25

 

 

 

We require prior approval for a subsequent premium payment that would result in your Contract having $1 million of premiums in the aggregate. We also reserve the right to refuse subsequent premium payments. The GWB can never be more than $5 million.

 

Step-Up. In the event Contract Value is greater than the GWB, this GMWB allows the GWB to be reset to the Contract Value (a "Step-Up").

 

 

With a Step-Up

The GWB equals Contract Value.

The GAWA is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      4% of the new GWB; Or

      The GAWA before the Step-Up.

 

The first opportunity for a Step-Up is the fifth Contract Anniversary after this GMWB is added to the Contract.

 

On and after January 17, 2006, during the first ten Contract Years after this GMWB is added to the Contract, Step-Ups are only allowed on or during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added before January 17, 2006, Step-Ups are only allowed during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary.

 

Otherwise, a Step-Up is allowed at any time, but there must be at least five years between Step-Ups. The GWB can never be more than $5 million with a Step-Up. A request for Step-Up is processed and effective on the date received in Good Order.

 

Owner’s Death. The Contract’s death benefit is not affected by this GMWB so long as Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase. Upon your death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), this GMWB terminates without value.

 

Contract Value Is Zero. With this GMWB, in the event Contract Value is zero, the GAWA is payable so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid. Otherwise, the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted). Payments are made on the periodic basis you elect, but no less frequently than annually.

 

 

After each payment when the Contract Value is zero

The GWB is recalculated, equaling the greater of:

      The GWB before the payment less the payment; Or

      Zero.

The GAWA:

      Is unchanged so long as the For Life Guarantee is valid; Otherwise

      Is recalculated, equaling the lesser of the GAWA before, and the GWB after, the payment.

 

 

21 of 25

 

 

 

If you die before all scheduled payments are made, then your Beneficiary will receive the remainder. All other rights under your Contract cease, except for the right to change Beneficiaries. No subsequent premium payments will be accepted. All optional endorsements terminate without value. And no other death benefit is payable, including the Earnings Protection Benefit.

 

Spousal Continuation. In the event of the Owner’s death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse may elect to:

 

Continue the Contract with this GMWB – so long as Contract Value is greater than zero, and the Contract is still in the accumulation phase.

 

Upon the Owner’s death, the For Life Guarantee is void.

Only the GWB is payable while there is value to it (until depleted).

The Beneficiary is also allowed a Step-Up. The Step-Up may only be elected on the first Contract Anniversary on or after the Continuation Date, which is the date the Beneficiary’s election to continue the Contract is in Good Order. Otherwise, the above rules for Step-Ups apply.

Contract Anniversaries will continue to be based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

 

Continue the Contract without this GMWB (GMWB is terminated).

 

Add this GMWB to the Contract on any Contract Anniversary after the Continuation Date, subject to the Beneficiary's eligibility – whether or not the Beneficiary terminated the GMWB in continuing the Contract.

 

For more information about spousal continuation of a Contract, please see "Special Spousal Continuation Option" under the DEATH BENEFIT section of the prospectus.

 

Termination. This GMWB terminates and all benefits cease on the earliest of:

 

The Income Date;

The date of complete withdrawal of Contract Value (full surrender of the Contract);

The date of the Owner’s death (or the first Owner’s death with joint Owners), unless the Beneficiary who is the Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract with the GMWB; or

The date all obligations under this GMWB are satisfied after the Contract Value is zero.

 

Effect of GMWB on Tax Deferral. This GMWB may not be appropriate for Owners who have as a primary objective taking maximum advantage of the tax deferral that is available to them under an annuity contract. Please consult your tax and financial advisors before adding this GMWB to a Contract.

 

22 of 25

 

 

 

 

For Contracts to which this GMWB is added on and after January 17, 2006, a bonus is available.

The bonus equals 5% and is based on a sum that may be subject to change after this GMWB is added to the Contract (the "Bonus Base").

      When this GMWB is added to the Contract, the Bonus Base equals the GWB.

      With a withdrawal, if that withdrawal, and all prior withdrawals in the current Contract Year, exceeds the GAWA, then the Bonus Base is set to the lesser of the GWB after, and the Bonus Base before, the withdrawal. Otherwise, there is no adjustment to the Bonus Base with withdrawals.

      All withdrawals count, including: systematic withdrawals; MRDs for certain tax-qualified Contracts; withdrawals of asset allocation and advisory fees; and free withdrawals under the Contract.

      With a premium payment, the Bonus Base increases by the amount of the premium net of any applicable premium taxes.

      With any Step-Up, the Bonus Base is set to the greater of the GWB after, and the Bonus Base before, the Step-Up.

The Bonus Base can never be more than $5 million.

The Bonus is available for a limited time (the "Bonus Period"). The Bonus Period runs from the date this GMWB is added to the Contract through the earliest of:

      The tenth Contract Anniversary after the effective date of the endorsement;

      The Contract Anniversary on or immediately following the Owner's 81st birthday; or

      The date Contract Value is zero.

Spousal continuation of a Contract with this GMWB does not affect the Bonus Period; Contract Anniversaries are based on the Contract’s Issue Date.

The bonus is applied at the end of each Contract Year during the Bonus Period, if there have been no withdrawals during that Contract Year. When the bonus is applied:

      The GWB is recalculated, increasing by 5% of the Bonus Base.

      The GAWA is then recalculated, equaling the greater of 4% of the new GWB and the GAWA before the bonus.

Applying the bonus to the GWB does not affect the Bonus Base.

Item 28. Indemnification

 

Provision is made in the Company's Amended By-Laws for indemnification by the Company of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceedings, to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Michigan.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and

Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
